Survival Three Kingdoms

Chapter 787
Yiyang is located in the north of Changsha and west of Dongting. It is the only way to go south from Jingbei. Lu Su once confronted Guan Yu here.

Set up a big camp for defense, Zhou Xin sent Wang Chuan to Wuling to negotiate with the local Wuxi barbarians. His leader Shamoke was fooled by Liu Bei into helping the battle, but was killed by the Wu army. The new commander just lost all his elites and is no longer as strong as before.

Shamo-chan is different from Shamoke. Shamoke advocates force, but Shamo-chan is influenced by the Han people and knows how to judge the situation.Sun Quan was appointed as the king of Nanyue, and the whole country moved southward. The big man regained control of the four counties. Sha Mozan couldn't even compete with the big man himself. Fleeing into the mountains to be a savage was just the idea of ​​a few people. Since Wang Chuan came to negotiate, Shamozan It would be nice to see Zhou Xin.So Sha Mozan followed Wang Chuan to Yiyang to find out what the big man's attitude was.

Sha Mozan came to Yiyang in person, which surprised Zhou Xin very much. Sha Mozan was not dressed as a barbarian at all, it was between the Han people and their tribal decorations, and he was neither bald nor long-haired, but short-haired, which seemed awkward at first glance. After a long time, I feel very good, at least it is much more convenient to wash.

Surprised, Zhou Cang put forward three propositions to solve the Wuling problem: first, Wuling must belong to the Han and pay taxes to the Han, but it will not pay more than the Han; second, the Wuxi barbarians must lay down their weapons and obey the laws of the Han. However, a certain area can be reserved to allow autonomy; Sha Mochan can still be the leader, but he needs to obey the imperial court's dispatch.

Sha Mozan did not answer Zhou Xin directly, but explained the history of Wuxi Man to Zhou Xin. The so-called Wuxi refers to the five streams of Xiongxi, Xixi, Chenxi, Youxi, and Wuxi. In fact, Wuling and Yuanshui There are Twelve Creeks upstream.In the Spring and Autumn Period, when Chu destroyed Ba, five Bazi brothers flowed into Guizhou. Each of them was the length of a stream, so they were named Wuxi. They gradually formed many tribes with the local natives, and they were called Wuxi Man by the Han people.When Emperor Guangwu founded the country, the people of Wuxi refused to join him. Liu Xiu sent General Fubo to conquer Wuxi.The Han people not only discriminated against the Wuxi people but also paid heavy taxes, so all the tribes had to unite and resist until Wei Yan formed an alliance with Samoke and Liu Bei made Samoke the barbarian king, and the Wuxi people were freed.

Zhou Xin sneered: "Liu Bei promised your father to be a barbarian king, because he was unable to conquer, and he had to rely on your father's courage and soldiers. Now that the world is about to be unified, how can Wuxi not respect the king? Don't worry, the people in the world will be one family from now on. You should know that it is absolutely true that I treat Yue people and Han people equally in Daoshan, south of the Yangtze River. From now on, all members of your clan will be called Wuxi people, and will no longer be called barbarians."

Sha Mozan chuckled, "The appeasement envoy is not only the eldest son of Duke Fu, but also an important minister in the court. I naturally believe that, but I also have people in my clan who need to be appeased."

Zhou Xin frowned: "What do you want?"

"Is there any king in the world? I still understand this truth. Allow me to self-govern the way to bring disaster. Although Wuxi is exhausted, it can still gather two or three thousand brave men. I am willing to serve the imperial court under the pacification envoy."

Zhou Xin was taken aback for a moment, never expecting that Samo-chan would take the initiative to integrate into the big man, what is he thinking? "Then how do you appease the tribe?"

"If you make military exploits, the imperial court will reward you according to your merits, and the clansmen will naturally feel at ease. Besides, I heard that the Han Dynasty is vast and rich. I want to take a few leaders on a tour. I wonder if the appeasement is acceptable?"

"Why do you trust me so much?" Zhou Xin was incredulous.

"Hehe, if you appease the envoy, you will naturally keep your word..."

The more Sha Mozan said, the more suspicious Zhou Xin became.Qu Ping came to report that Duanmuling was ordered to come south to Yiyang. Zhou Xin hurriedly invited Duanmuling in, and briefly told the ins and outs of the future.Duanmuling had dealt with the Xianbei tribe a lot in northern Xinjiang, and Tuoba Liwei was the one who knew the current affairs the most. Unexpectedly, Sha Mochan, who was a few years younger than Zhou Xin, would be more optimistic than Liwei.Looking directly at Shamo-chan, he said, "If you have something to say, you can say it clearly, and don't beat around the bush."

Sha Mozan sighed lightly: "My father once said that among the Han people, he trusted only Wenchang Wei Yan and Wei, so he swore to him. But I know that Wenchang Wei is the eldest disciple of Duke Fu, and I know his teacher from his disciples, which shows that Duke Wen is not famous. Ill. The appeasement envoy changed the name of our clan with good intentions, but being closed and uncivilized is barbaric after all, and I can only find my way out if I join the big man. Besides, I am originally from Ba, and I only threw myself into Wuxi for the sake of subjugation. How can I stay in Wuxi ?”

It turned out that this was the crux of the matter. Wei Yan had laid the groundwork earlier, but now Zhou Xin was taken advantage of.Zhou Xinxin blamed himself a little, why didn't he listen carefully to Samo-chan's words, and understood his subtext, this person has an extraordinary mind!I am afraid that the real purpose of the travel he mentioned later is to meet his father Zhou Cang.

Duanmuling looked carefully at Sha Mozan, he was worried about Wuxi and wanted to become an official.Duanmuling glanced at Zhou Xin, nodded slightly, believable.

Zhou Xin thought for a while: "Our army is short of a general. You can stay by my side temporarily and advise me. You will lead the clansmen you recruit."

Samo-chan cupped his hands: "Thank you so much for the comforter!"

Duanmuling was right in thinking that Sha Mozan had been influenced by Wei Yan for a long time. Compared to the world, the land of Wuxi was just a tiny piece of land, and the people of Wuxi were powerless to resist the big man, which would only lead to disaster.The Wuxi people resisted because they were oppressed. If they want to be free from oppression, they have to go out and become a member of the big man.People in Wuxi are not barbarians by nature, they were built by the five sons of the king of Ba, just to escape from Chu, so why should they stay in Wuxi.

Although Wuxi's information was not clear, it was not too closed. Zhou Xin's actions in Jingnan were all found out by Sha Mozan. The fate of the Shanyue people made Shamozan clearly realize that he could no longer close himself.Sooner or later, the big man will rule the world again, so it is better to take this opportunity to make contributions and gain fame.The temptation to Zhou Xin did not satisfy Sha Mozan, so he decided to meet Zhou Cang temporarily, but Duanmuling who came suddenly interrupted his plan and disrupted his plan.However, this also showed Duanmuling's intelligence, and Zhou Xin's ability to wake up in time made Sha Mozan feel at ease, and his evaluation of Zhou Xin increased.

Sending off Sha Mozan, Zhou Xin asked Duanmuling: "Zifan is here, how is the battle in Yuzhou? How is my father?"

"Okay, good public security. The great victory in Yuzhou. The Duke first defeated Sima Yi in Xiangxian County, and then went south to capture Shouchun and kill General Pang De. He was worried that you would not have enough manpower in Jingnan, so he sent me to help."

"Zifan came at the right time. I was busy appeasing the people a while ago, and Wen Xiang suggested to take the initiative to attack. I didn't pay attention to it. Now that the arrangements are almost the same, and the problem in Wuling has been solved. Let's discuss with me whether it is appropriate to send troops at this time?" Zhou Xinxi Upper brow.
