Chapter 123 The South Vietnam War Begins
Jianning five years, July

Jiaozhou Yulin County,
Yulin County, as its name suggests, has a lot of vegetation in the territory, and it is an important timber production area for the Han people. However, it is also the area with the most mountain people in Jiaozhou. The so-called mountain people are also called Shanyue. , just occupying the mountains and forests, unwilling to go out to pay taxes, so they are often called mountain people. In Jiaozhou, there are countless mountain people, especially Yulin County, Hepu County and other counties adjacent to Yangzhou.

In Yangzhou, it is also distributed everywhere, but the large scale is still concentrated in Kuaiji County and Nanhai County. These two places are sparsely populated and adjacent to Jiaozhou. Most of the mountain people live here. If Yangzhou is encircled and suppressed, they will hide in Jiaozhou. , If Jiaozhou is encircled and suppressed, they will hide in Yangzhou. They also focus on agriculture on weekdays, planting grains, and because the mountains produce copper and iron, they often forge their own soldiers.

The local officials also had nothing to do with it, and often went to the temple to demand a heavy military crusade, but they were never valued by the emperor.

In an unknown mountain forest in Yulin County, the flames are burning fiercely. This is a bonfire built by the mountain people. The flames illuminate the entire night. Hundreds of thousands of mountain people, men and women, are bonfires. Beside them were dancing and singing, everyone was drinking and dancing, they were extremely happy, laughing and laughing, dozens of people were sitting in the distance, they didn't fit in with this atmosphere.

"I don't think this is a good thing. Could it be that you all forgot about Han Chigui?!"

A short and sturdy man dressed in animal skins widened his round eyes and shook his head hastily. Seeing his appearance, several people around him were also chatting privately. These seventeen people were from Jiaozhou and Yangzhou universities. Among them, there are those who wear animal skins like this man, and those who wear Han costumes and crowns. They are sitting here, but they are invited by You Tuchi, the most powerful among the mountain people, so they come forward. Come.

Just now, You Tuchi told them very straightforwardly that he wanted to unite the mountain people and go to Yangzhou to obtain food and grass. As soon as this word came out, it was rejected by others. Trouble, why do they have to grab some food?They can feed themselves with the grain they grow themselves!

"Hey, that Han Chi ghost has been dead for hundreds of years, what are you afraid of?!"

"Could it be that the harvest of your clan people this year is enough to satisfy their hunger?!"

Someone yelled, this Han Chi ghost is Han Shuo from the time of Emperor Xiaowu. This man was ordered by the emperor to crusade against Baiyue and killed countless enemies. Because he loved wearing the red helmet, he was called Han Chi by Baiyue at that time. Ghosts, even erected sacrifices to worship. After Xiaowu pacified Baiyue, he set up nine counties including Dan'er, Zhuya, Nanhai, Cangwu, Yulin, Hepu, Jiaozhi, Jiuzhen, and Rinan.

And these Baiyue lived and merged with the immigrating Han people, and every year many Han people who evaded taxes joined in, and finally Shanyue was born. Shanyue is not a nation, but a product of the fusion of several nationalities. They were originally unwilling to provoke The Han court, however, today promotes the settlement and migration of the people, and a large number of tyrants, the villagers poured into Yangzhou and Jiaozhou, further oppressing their living range.

And in recent years, the climate has been extremely cold, and their grain harvests have been getting lower and lower. Seeing the villagers not far away return with full load, and the granaries are full of grain, some people are starting to be jealous. Therefore, the most powerful, There are more than [-] Zongmin, of course, there are no more than [-] young and strong among them, but among these mountain people, his influence is already very large.

Everyone frowned, without saying a word, thinking.

You Tuchi said helplessly: "I know that you are afraid. It is true that if we launch an attack, we will definitely not be the opponent of the Han court. However, is this year's harvest really enough for our clan people to survive until next year? You guys Look at those dancing kids! If you don't think about it, how many of them will be left next year??!"

Everyone frowned and remained silent. You Tuchi sighed helplessly and said, "We don't intend to attack counties and counties. We just need to take down those granaries and take some, so that we can survive this year. If you don't want to, I won't force you, but I hope that you will not reveal our plan to the Han court for the sake of being the same Baiyue queen!"

Everyone was also silent, they all started to think, suddenly, one person stood up and said: "I would rather be killed by the Han court than starve to death, I am willing to go with Zong Shuai!" Several people around agreed When they got down, they were almost ready to die in battle, only the few men in Han's clothes were still hesitating. They were all wealthy and powerful families who evaded taxes and fled into the mountains.

They were born as Han people, and they know the fighting power of the Han court better than these descendants of Baiyue, and they know that if they seriously offend the emperor, there will be two terrifying armies called the northern army and the southern army, who will come to confront them. They carried out a massacre, but, they hesitated, this year's harvest is very poor, if they are not afraid, they will starve to death!
"Father! Why don't you join the Han court??"

"I see that the land of Yangzhou is vast and sparsely populated. The emperor of the Han Dynasty also migrated people from various places to enrich the households. If we surrender, the emperor will definitely not allow us to starve to death!" A young mountain man stood up. Apparently, he is different from You Tuchi, he is actually wearing a Han robe and a crown, but he is not a Han, his name is You Tuchi, he is You Tuchi's only son, and he is also a strong man with a reputation for bravery in Jiaoyang Mountain .

You Tuchi frowned, and said with some displeasure: "You don't have any sect members, what right do you have to speak here? Step back!"

But Youtu didn't want to leave, and continued: "I heard that today's emperor is kind and canceled all taxes, and the land tax is even lower. Instead of asking for death, why don't we join?" Youtu stood up abruptly and punched Hitting him in the face, Youtu was knocked to the ground, Youtuchi stared at him and said, "We have been fighting with the Han court for a long time, how can the Han court spare us?!"

Youtu wiped the blood from his mouth, stood up again, and shouted: "In the past, what happened to the Han court and the Xiongnu? Now it is not accepting the Xiongnu as the people, and fighting against foreign countries, the Xiongnu cavalry thought it was an envoy, so what about us?! You don't know anything! You'll just ruin the entire Baiyue!" For a while, many people surrounded him, standing facing his father's faction.

You Tuchi looked at him, his face was pale, and he gritted his teeth tightly. You Tu pulled out the sword from his waist, looked at him, and said, "Father, I can't let you destroy Baiyue! I want to challenge you!" , You Tuchi sneered, and slowly escaped from his waist with the sword, pointing at You Tu, the two of them jumped to the middle, and the men in animal skins jumped around them one after another, holding a sword in one hand and holding a sword in the other. Shield, began to knock up.

But those Han people were not like this, they looked at them indifferently, with some disdain in their eyes.

It's just that Youtu's words gave them some reminders. Raising troops to be hostile to the Han Dynasty is completely deadly, and they will not follow. Then, in order not to starve to death, I may have to serve the Han Dynasty, but I don't know Is it true that taxes are low today?If the truth is true, they can be the villager!They looked at each other and had their own thoughts in their hearts.

Father and son stand facing each other with sharp swords in their hands.

Youtu rushed towards his father suddenly, stabbing his abdomen with the long sword in his hand, and stabbing at his neck with the sword in Youtu's red hand, without any flinching, it seemed that the two of them were desperately trying to fight. To the death of the opponent, but when the two sides were about to be hit by the sword, Youtu was still afraid. He threw the sword in his hand and jumped half a step away!
In the battle between two people, within one stroke, the winner was decided, but Youtuchi didn't seem to intend to let his son go, he slammed his sword on Youtu's chest, and Youtu screamed With a sound, he fell to the ground, and You Tuchi yelled in Baiyue language: "Surrender?! The pre-Qin tyrant destroyed our ancestors!" He slashed his sword across You Tu's back again, "The same is true for the Han court!!"

A sword sliced ​​across his face.

"Are you worthy of the ancestors of Baiyue?!"

"Shh!"

"Have you ever seen Ge Chiyou bow his head?"

"Shh!"

"Why are you afraid in battle?!"

After counting swords, he cut Youtu until he fainted, and then he stopped, looked at the crowd, and they stood up abruptly, and he said: "Go back and gather the clan people, in fifteen days' time, we will meet with Kuaiji and surprise the Mintun granary!", Because of the ruthlessness of the talent just now, everyone was afraid, and they all bowed their heads in agreement. It was not until everyone left that You Tuchi sighed and asked the doctor to treat You Tu.

On the same day, those Shanyue leaders went out separately, and some did go back to greet Jingzhuang, practice, and refine iron bows and crossbows for war, but some directly led the clansmen out of the mountains, tied themselves to the local government, and surrendered. , Informed the local officials of the news that General Youtuchi would send troops fifteen days later. At first, the local officials had disdain for these fleeing mountain people, but when they heard that they were going to gather a crowd to attack the granary, they were shocked and hurriedly reported to the temple.

In the fifth year of Jianning, in July, Kuaiji County urgently reported that the leader of the bandits in Shanyue, You Tuchi, intended to plunder Kuaiji County.

The local officials were shocked, and Liu You, the governor of Yangzhou, hurriedly summoned the county soldiers from all over the country, gathered outside many counties in Kuaiji County, and asked the surrounding Jiaozhou and Jingzhou for help. And in the temple, the emperor was even more furious, and hurriedly held a court meeting to discuss this matter!
Note: Shanyue is considered to be the descendant of Baiyue, but most of them are Han people, who just occupy the mountain as kings. In addition, they seem to have some relationship with Sanmiao. Of course, this basis was proposed by the great Confucian Zheng Xuan at that time. He may be the first The great Confucianism who linked Jiuli with Miao and Baiyue, of course, people of later generations do not agree that the basis is "Five Emperors Benji" annotated by Zheng Xuan.

Note: Ge Chi You Lao is not a typo, Ge Chi means grandpa, and You Lao means hero, which is suspected to be related to the worship of Chi You.

　At that time, there were [-] people in Shanyue, and they were good at making ironware, and their combat effectiveness was also very strong. Soochow fought with them for a long time, but it was still too late to completely calm down. A grand war will follow.
