Chapter 549 Lingnan
Jiaozhou was a prefecture established by Emperor Wu of the former Han Dynasty after destroying the Nanyue Kingdom. At that time, it was called the Jiaozhi Governor's Department. It was not renamed Jiaozhou until the eighth year of Jian'an (203 A.D.) of Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty.

From the change of name, we can see the slow penetration of Central Plains culture.

In other words, the Nanyue Kingdom established by Zhao Tuo in the past has been passed down for nearly a hundred years. The big reason is that the Central Plains Dynasty never paid attention to Lingnan, a land of hundreds of ethnic groups (Vietnam).

In the same way, there are few roads for the army to travel together.

For example, if a big man wants to enter Jiaozhou from Nanzhong, there are only two places to choose from.

One is the traditional way of Zang Cang.

Going south along the valley of the Cangjiang River (Beipanjiang-Hongshui River), you can enter Yulin County in Jiaozhou and reach Panyu (now Guangzhou) in Nanhai County.

In the past, Emperor Wu of the former Han Dynasty opened up the Nanyi Road to Zangcang County and conquered Yelang Kingdom on the basis of Wuchi Road. The biggest reason was to open up and control this water channel (Pearl River system) leading to Lingnan.

It's just that there are too many dangerous shoals in this river valley, and there are often dangers such as flash floods or mudstone disintegration during the rainy season, so it gradually fades out of people's sight as time goes by.

The other is the two waterways in Yizhou County (Jianning and Yunnan County).

They respectively go south along the Jinxi (Panlong River) and Xisuishui (Red River) valleys, and directly reach the heart of Jiaozhi County (Red River Delta Plain).

These two waterways are the routes with the most business exchanges today.

For example, when Shi Xie ruled Jiaozhou in the past, he often bought Dian horses from this route as year-old tribute to Sun Quan.

After the Battle of Yiling, the late emperor Liu Bei collapsed, and Shi Xie recruited Yong Kai to rebel into Wu and accepted the appointment of Sun Quan as the prefect of Yongchang. Yong Kai offered his sincerity to attach himself to Jiangdong, and also appointed the newly appointed prefect of Yizhou Zhang Yi from this route. He was escorted into Jiaozhi and transferred to Shi Xie, who was then transferred to Lu Dai who was stationed in Panyu.

After the rebellion in Pingnanzhong, the Prime Minister analyzed the southern part of Cang County and the southeast corner of Yizhou County, and the biggest reason for setting up Xinggu County was to control the three roads passing through Jiaozhou more conveniently.

Therefore, it is almost predictable that Lu Dai, who was sent to Jiaozhou by Sun Quan, put more emphasis on Jiaozhi and less on Yulin in terms of defensive deployment.

It was to order the deputy general Liu Zuan to enter Yulin County as the other governor to prevent the Han army from entering the valley of the Zangjiang River.

Among them, Liu Zuan stationed more than [-] troops in Bushan County, while Nie You led [-] troops into Zengshi County in the Yushui (Youjiang) River Valley to garrison; It was recruited by Lu Dai to Lingfang County, and more than [-] people from the headquarters were stationed there.

Liu Zuan is the son-in-law of Sun Quan's second daughter (not Sun Luyu), and he is the best choice to guard the rear.

Nie You is from Yuzhang County.

The word Wenti, born in a humble family, was a county official, with both civil and military skills.

When Yu Fan was exiled to Jiaozhou by Sun Quan, Nie You escorted him out of the county, so he was praised by Yu Fan and named a county meritorious officer; he was later sent to the capital (Jianye) by the prefect, and was appreciated by Zhuge Ke again, and he did not hesitate to hand over to others. Make friends.

Zhuge Ke's talent and learning is the leader of Jiangdong's juniors.

Those who can be introduced as friends by him will naturally not be sent there. Therefore, Nie You began to become famous in Jiangdong, and under Zhuge Ke's kind words and recommendations, he was reused by Sun Quan.

Qian Bo was originally the leader of bandits who lingered in Gaoliang.

Later, he surrendered to Lu Dai, and was honored as the captain of the western part of Gaoliang (county) by inheriting the old system.

This is why Lu Dai asked him to lead troops across counties.

Well, Gaoliang was originally a county in Hepu County, and was later analyzed by Sun Quan as a county.

As for Jiaozhi County, which is guarded by heavy troops, Lu Dai did not divide his troops.

Gein meanders from Xinggu County to Jiaozhi County's Forbidden Stream and Xisuishui. There is a long section of the river valley that is occupied by barbarian tribes. City walls and villages.

And the more than [-] people in the headquarters led by Lu Dai and the general Suichun are guarding the place where the two rivers meet (now Yuenan Yuechi).

Suichun was originally a rebel from Dongye (now Fuzhou) in Jian'an County. After surrendering to Lu Dai, he was awarded the partial general, and he supervised the headquarters and became Lu Dai's general.

It can be said that Lu Dai's defensive strategy in Jiaozhou was to wait for work with ease.

At the price of not guarding the barbaric areas in the northern part of Yulin County and Jiaozhi County, the trek distance for the Han army to invade was longer, and the transportation of supplies, food and fodder was more difficult.

And such a deployment is also an advantage for Wu Jun.

Those barbaric tribes who linger in the dangerous mountains and deep swamps have always been disobedient to the king and are plundering by nature.

When Han and Wu traded together, they often plundered passing caravans.

Today, if the Han army passes through their habitat, they will inevitably be harassed.

Although with the strength of these tribes, they would not be so stupid as to act like a cart, but relying on the advantages of being good at climbing and familiar with the terrain, groups of three or four sneaked into the night to steal the Han army's Yunnan horses, food, fodder, etc. It is inevitable.

It can be regarded as an unexpected exhaustion plan.

But everything has advantages and disadvantages.

Although Lu Dai's strategy of waiting for work with ease can succeed, it will also induce hidden dangers.

The reason is that Jiangdong's control over Jiaozhou is not stable.

In other words, Lingnan, as the land of hundreds of tribes (Yue), cannot be convinced by Wu's strength.

Jiangdong was able to incorporate Jiaozhou into its territory, which was the result of completely eradicating the foundation of the scholar family.However, when Lu Dai wiped out the Shijia, his methods could not please the Haoyou and barbarian tribes in Jiaozhou.

In the past, when Lu Dai drove troops to discuss Shi Hui's rebellion, he also dispatched Shi Kuang to lobby for interests, claiming that if he surrendered, he would forget the past and protect his family.But after Shi Hui obeyed, he led his six brothers to surrender naked, but Lu Dai broke his promise and beheaded them all, passing them on to Jianye.

At that time, all the old officials of the scholars were outraged.

For example, the generals of Shihui, Ganli, Huanzhi and others, led the officials and the people to attack Lu Dai, but the army had no heir and the opportunity was lost, but was defeated by Lu Dai.

But as far as Jiangdong is concerned, the hidden danger of the scholars and the people not being attached to the barbarian tribes and not being ministers remains.

Even though Lu Dai later sent officials to the south (the Nanyang Islands and Southeast Asia) to promote the country's nationalization when he was guarding Jiaozhou, and many small countries such as Funan, Linyi, and Tangming sent envoys to Wu to pay tribute, but there was no reason. Change the distrust of Jiangdong among the Lingnan tribes.

The reason why there has been no rebellion is that there is no leader.

Once the Han army came south, those Haoyou or barbarian tribes who did not surrender to Jiangdong and whose parents died in the war would inevitably be moved.

For example, there were those who raised their clans to take refuge in them, or those who sent other clansmen as guides, or those who secretly funded food and supplies, or those who secretly informed the truth of Wu Jun's garrison in counties and counties, and so on.

You can't do everything one by one.

Lu Dai knew this well.

However, Sun Quan could not provide sufficient food, fodder and supplies, so he asked his troops to go north to resist outside.

Only two powers harm each other whichever is less.

What he didn't know, however, was that things were much more serious than what he had expected.
