Three Kingdoms: Ancestors of the Han Dynasty

In 232 AD, under the administration of Zhuge Liang, the Dahan continued to implement the reform of the land system, and the situation was calm.In Jingzhou, however, there was an undercurrent. Under the joint attack of Lu Dai and Bu Zhi last year, the Wuxi barbarians retreated steadily and were defeated.

In the first month, Buzhi continued to go deep into Wuling to encircle and suppress the barbarians in Chenxi and Youxi.

In the middle of the first lunar month, the Chenxi and Youxi barbarians sent envoys to Fuling County, asking Deng Zhi, who was stationed in Fuling, to send troops to rescue.

In February, Deng Zhi, governor of Jiangzhou, and Wei Shuai Su Gu led [-] elite troops out of the Wuling Mountains to the east to welcome the Wuxi barbarians into Han.

In the early spring, with the majestic peaks of Lianmian Mountain standing behind us, the dense forest was dark and difficult to distinguish. The soldiers led Nanzhong horses along the Youshui River and walked along the river beach, carefully avoiding the horses' hooves from time to time.

The generals and soldiers of the Chijiawei are almost all Fenren and Yuren. They have lived in caves since they can remember, and they are not bad at running and fighting in mountains and rivers.As for Nanzhong Ma, needless to say, stepping on mountains and rivers is like walking on flat ground.It didn't take much time, but it bypassed several valleys.

As the sky was getting dark, Deng Zhi and other troops prepared to go to the Youximan camp under the guidance of the Youximan guide.

Suddenly, there was a sound of hurried running in the forest ahead. Su Gu, the leader, followed the prestige and saw a small group of barbarians rushing towards them in a panic.

Seeing the guide, the leading people were overjoyed and shouted in Yi language: "Qin Pu save me, there are Wu dogs chasing after me."

The guide Qin Pu's face changed drastically, and he said anxiously: "Wei Shuai, this is a member of our tribe, I hope the general will save you."

Su Gu waved his hand back, and behind him hundreds of red armored guards held round shields, unloaded their crossbows from their waists, and groped towards the forest.

The red-armored guard cat walked through the forest with its waist bent, brushing past more than a dozen Youxi barbarian soldiers in a panic.

More than fifty archers and soldiers were galloping through the forest with powerful crossbows in their hands, and the sound of the bowstring trembling could be heard endlessly, trying to shoot and kill the fleeing Youxi barbarian soldiers.

If it can be seen from above, the red armored guards spread out in the forest, as if with outstretched arms, besieging the deepening military archers and soldiers.

Not long after, the commander of the military shooting officer chased to the front of the forest, and saw dozens of elite soldiers in front of him aiming at him with bows and crossbows.He was taken aback, and before he could react, the red-armored guards who had sneaked in before suddenly stood up from the forest and pointed their crossbows at the Wu archers.

The martial arts officials turned from hunters into prey in an instant, how could they not be frightened out of their wits under the great joy and sorrow.

The commander of the military archery officer calmed down slightly, looking at the elite soldiers surrounding him, he was suspicious, Wuxi barbarians could not have so many powerful crossbows, and the armor on their bodies was also strong.Could it be the surname of Jingzhou or other generals?
The head of the village's complexion darkened, and he shouted loudly: "Who is going to stop the Wuxi barbarians from the Wuxi archer, retreat quickly!"

Su Gu put his long sword in his hand, sneered, and said: "The red armored guards of the big man are here, you have no right to order me to retreat."

The face of the head of the Wushe official suddenly changed. How did the Han army appear in Wuling? Could it be that they wanted to attack Jingzhou?

"This is the boundary of Jingzhou. I have ordered the Hussars to hunt and kill the Wuxi barbarians for the front. This is the boundary of Jingzhou. I hope that your army will retreat quickly and don't hurt the friendship between the two countries. Otherwise, wait for the hussars to arrive. I'm afraid of life. Misunderstanding." The head of the village said threateningly.

Su Gu's face was uncertain, and when he was about to order someone to ask Deng Zhi's opinion, Deng Zhi had already rushed to the front with his personal guards.

Deng Zhi looked at dozens of military archers for a while, then said in a deep voice, "I'm afraid you won't see Bu Zhi."

"Order to shoot the Wu people, leaving no one behind."

"promise!"

"Shoot the Wu people and leave no one behind." The orderly shouted.

The head of the Wushe official showed panic and threatened loudly: "Does the big man want to fight with my big Wu?"

Deng Zhi remained expressionless and said, "If you all die here, no one will know about it!"

After speaking, he waved his hand.The red-armored guards pulled the crossbow trigger, and more than a hundred arrows pierced through the air, heading towards the military archer with a whistling sound.

The red-armored guards immediately drew out their ring-shoulders and besieged and killed the remaining military archers in the forest.

Deng Zhi ordered 'cover up the traces', and walked back without looking back, asking the fleeing Youxi barbarians.

……

After questioning, it turned out that the Wuxi barbarians who regrouped half a month ago were defeated by the Buzhi army, and all the tribes scattered and fled.Qin Junjian, a barbarian from Youxi, led the remnants of his tribe and his family members to flee to the Wuling Mountains, hoping to seek protection from Deng Zhi's army.

Because there were many women and children, old and weak, and their speed was too slow, they were overtaken by Bu Zhi's [-] military archers. They wanted to force Youxi Man to surrender, so they chased and killed them all the way.This remnant was one of the soldiers left behind to defend against the military archers, but unfortunately they were defeated by the martial archers, and everyone fled in a hurry. Fortunately, Deng Zhi's troops rescued them.

The bonfire flickered, illuminating the night.After listening to Youxi Man's narration, Deng Zhi, who was beside him, was in a state of uncertainty.It is already impossible to relocate people in a simple manner. Now if you want to move the Wuxi Man into Fuling County, you must have a conflict with the Wu army and force them to retreat before you have a chance.

A large-scale conflict is not just a small fight, a little carelessness will cause a war between Han and Wu, but if you don't save the Youxi Man, your mission of relocating people will almost fail, a year of hard work will be in vain, and the big man will also be defeated. Lost trust in Wuxi Man.

Compared to Deng Zhi's worries, Su Gu looked eager to try, and said: "Deng Dudu, this is the time when the Youxi Man is in danger. If I, a big man, can save them, I can move people into Han."

Deng Zhi pondered for a long time, and said: "Rescue requires a conflict with the Wu people, which may violate the strategy of the great Han to unite Wu against Wei."

As soon as this remark came out, Su Gu looked a little depressed. He poked the bonfire with a wooden stick and said, "Deng Dudu, when tigers are hunting for food, they will come out and shout a few words to scare them. If we can't reveal our identities , our relocation this time must be hopeless, after all, the Wu people must be targeting their tribe when they fight against the Wuxi barbarians."

Hearing this, Deng Zhi looked at the brighter bonfire, had a flash of inspiration, patted his legs and said: "This statement is reasonable. Our army is worried about conflicts with the Wu people, and the Wu people are also worried. Our army can hunt down bandits in the name of , enter the territory of Wu to garrison, and when the Youxi Man surrenders to our army, our army can talk to the Wu people in name and intervene in this matter."

The big man lacks a reputation when he enters the Wu territory, so he can't say that when the Wuxi Man rebelled, I would hook up with the Wuxi Man!

If the Youxi Man voluntarily surrendered to the Han army who entered the country to suppress the bandits, although the big Han had a bad name, he could barely say it was the past, and there would not be too much dispute with the Wu people.

At that time, the situation was as follows. The big man did not get the permission of Soochow to enter the country to suppress the bandits. When the bandits were suppressed, Youxi heard about my kindness and surrendered to the big man.

At that time, it will be up to the Wu people to decide whether to attack or not, and the big man will no longer bear the responsibility of starting the war.Even if the people of Wu know the inside story, they can only accuse the big man of entering the country without reason and cover up the enemy bandits, which is helpless.

As for going to war, the two thousand red armor guards are not afraid of Soochow military archers at all!
"Leave troops tomorrow, and carry out according to this plan!" Deng Zhi commanded in a deep voice.

"promise!"
