Johime Three Kingdoms

Chapter 266 Wuxi Man

At this time, going further west is basically the edge of the tribe distribution of Wuxi Man or Wuling Man.

The nearby Guyue tribe often fights with the Wuxi tribe.

The Guyue tribe suddenly gathered [-]% of the young men and women here. Naturally, the Wuxi tribe would not be completely unresponsive...

On the first night when Chen Gong came to the Guyue Alliance, the Hook Snake Division captured several Wuxi people who came to inquire!

I saw that the four people who were brought up were all men. Although they were arrested, they still looked fierce. They were dressed in a style similar to Shankoshi, but the materials used were more linen and silk than animal skins. At the same time, they had war patterns on their bodies. Also obviously different.

The war patterns of the Ancient Yue people are mainly snakes, and the tattoos of these four people... are basically tigers!
War pattern totems can also be regarded as a small way to distinguish the descendants of the Yue people from the descendants of the Ba people. The Ba people have the most tiger patterns, followed by fish, dragons and snakes.

Cancong and Yufu, how confused was the founding of the country - although Yufuba's ancestor was once the leader of the Ba people, it is Baihuba who has the most complete cultural heritage.

The Jing barbarians had been beaten to death by the Chu State in the Spring and Autumn Period. Now the barbarians in Jingzhou have basically become Ba, and they all use "tiger" as their totem war pattern.

On the contrary, it is closer to the Nanzhong Barbarians in the homeland of the pre-Qin Ba people, because it is very close to the settlement of the Qiang people. In addition to the tiger war pattern, the most common thing among the Nanzhong Barbarians is the sheep war pattern of the Qiang tribe.

The Shanyue people further east, closer to the coast, also have tribes with birds as their totems, which are probably influenced by Dongyi culture - ever since Xuanxiao, the son of the Yellow Emperor, established a tribe in the east, most of the tribes in the east have used birds as their totems. Totem, the founder of the Shang Dynasty was a descendant of Xuan Xiao, so the Shang Dynasty also used the black bird as the war pattern totem.

However, the so-called Shanyue in the east only worships birds as totems and does not have bird war patterns, because there are only three Yue Jis left and there is no support from Yue Ji. Those Shanyue who worship birds have no barbarians at all and naturally have no war patterns.

It can also be seen from the totem war patterns that although the people of the Han Dynasty are separated from the surrounding foreign races from the perspective of "Zhu Xia" and "Yi Di", from the perspective of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors and the descendants of Yan and Huang, the Ba, Whether it is Yue or the Xiongnu and Xianbei in the north, all of them are related to the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors.

It's just that during the long Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the Chinese civilization, with the Central Plains as its core, moved closer to farming as a whole, and gradually lost a common language with the fishing, hunting, and nomadic tribes.

From the perspective of the world of chengji, chengji in the Central Plains region are constantly optimizing and transforming their functions to adapt to farming civilization. They gradually peeled off the totem battle pattern system and turned to the system of battle armor and official seals...

At this time, at the Shanyue Alliance station, Gou Cang was interrogating several Wuxi people-compared to the Shanyue people, the Wuxi barbarians had more interactions with the Han people.

After seeing Chen Gong's dress, some men from Wuxi shouted words such as "insidious, traitor, killing with a borrowed knife...".

In Shanyue, only people with at least some status can speak some Chinese. There are less than a hundred people who can communicate normally. However, Wuxi Barbarians... actually a scout can speak a few words?

"Have you brought the advice from the General's Mansion before?" Chen Gong asked the man who seemed to know some Chinese.

However, I don’t know if the other party understood, but he just yelled: "Insidious Yang Yue, Jingfu will lead us to kill your women and steal your men!"

Chen Gong: ...

Chen Gong always felt that the other party did not learn Chinese well, but... the meaning was expressed.

Chen Gong did not react on the surface, but Gou Cang said: "Commander Chen, it seems that the Wuxi tribe has no intention of cooperating with the General's Mansion."

"The people of Wuxi are very confident in their 'jingfu'?" Chen Gong asked tentatively.

Regarding the situation of the Wuxi Barbarians, these Guyue tribes should be more familiar with it. It is like Chen Gong didn't know much about the situation of the Guyue tribe before going deep into the mountains in the south of Luling.

"Jingfu" and "Zongshuai" are both rewards from the Han Dynasty. For these barbarians in the south, the Han Dynasty usually canonizes their leaders...

After all, in the early Western Han Dynasty, the population determined that the Han people were sparsely populated in the south and could not afford to have too many interactions with these barbarians. However, the strong national power during the reign of Emperor Wu was used to defeat an even bigger enemy, the Xiongnu.

After Emperor Wu, the Western Han Dynasty has been in a period of recovery, and it has no thoughts about the barbarians in the south. As for the Eastern Han Dynasty... the relatives and eunuchs in the court and the central government took turns to sit in the palace. The local wealthy families were rampant, and the Han Dynasty's dominance over the local area was weakened. How could it still be done? Do you have any intention of interfering with the barbarians in the south?
Generally, the leaders of small tribes are named "Qushuai". During the Yellow Turban Uprising, leaders from all over the country also named themselves "Qushuai". The leaders of large tribes were named "Zongshuai" in Yangzhou and "Jingfu" in Jingzhou.

If they don't take the initiative to attack the counties, everything will be easy, and they won't assimilate their thoughts.

It's just... in Yangzhou, many of those small tribes are Han people who went up to the mountains and called themselves Shanyue, but they were actually mountain people who protected themselves. The leader of this group of strongmen was happy to call himself "Qushuai".

But these real Guyue tribes don’t even speak Chinese in their internal communications, so how could they use the names given to them by the Han people?
The so-called "tribe leader" and "headhunter" are just translated Chinese. When understood in their language, they mean "tribe leader" and "hunting leader".

But now it seems that Wuxi Man's situation seems to be a little different. Not only do several of the "scouts" speak some Chinese, but they also call the leader "Jingfu", which is obviously a higher degree of Chineseization!

Could it be that I chose the wrong teammate?
Chen Gong looked at Xiu She secretly...

"Their king Mohuken is so sinister!" Gou Cang said angrily.

"Mo Huken? Is this the only Jingfu?" Chen Gong remembered that he had checked the official documents kept by Cheng Ji, and found that there should be three Jingfu and Zongshuai each.

"Three years ago, there were three people. After the death of Mr. Moke, his son Mohuken inherited the position of Jingfu. When he used the alliance to attack Han Dynasty counties, he killed the other two Jingfu and annexed their territory. The tribe has become the most insidious king of the Wuxi people." Hook Snake said.

After hearing his detailed explanation, Chen Gong finally understood...

A high degree of Chineseness does not mean that one is close to the Han Dynasty, and may also be more ambitious.

Mo Kexian, the master of the previous generation, was really close to the Han people, and even helped the noble families in the four counties of Jingnan to rebel against Liu Biao - to a certain extent, this could be regarded as being close to the Han people...the Han people close to Jingnan.

Therefore, Moko did win a lot of benefits and resources for the tribe. There are even rumors that Moko became as degenerate as the Han people, arrogant and greedy for enjoyment.

Later, after Liu Biao put down the rebellion, Mo Ke fled back to Wuxi in panic, but died on the way home. At the same time, Mo Huken inherited the position of Jingfu.

First, he surrendered to the controller of Jingnan again, and then rebelled. He also took advantage of the opportunity of rebelling together to beat up his teammates and annexed their tribes...

Compared to the Guyue tribe, Wuxi Barbarians are undoubtedly more powerful now.

"Speaking of which, this Mohuken understands you Han people better than we do, but he also hates the way you Han people look...Of course, I don't mean anything else, hahaha." Wangkong said deliberately at this time.

"Well, Liu Biao of Jingzhou is greedy and has no ability to govern the world. He allows local powerful people to do whatever they want. The Wuxi people in Jingzhou will definitely have a hard time, so we have to rescue them from their misery faster." Chen Gong responded with a smile.

"Even if Mohuken unified the Wuxi tribe, their numbers would not be as good as ours. The Wuxi people are even less brave than our Yue people. There is nothing to fear." Mingtan also seemed to know a little about the Wuxi tribe.

But...how many benefits did they gain when they participated in the Jingnan Rebellion? ——Chen Gong cares more about this.

Whether it is the Shanyue people or the Wuxi people, because they can trade with those fake Shanyue who "cast mountains into copper", the per capita metal ownership is not low, but the weapons are very crude, mainly heavy and blunt weapons. And without the technology to cast iron armor, the armor was very crude.

In addition to food and grass, Chen Gong also brought them weapons and equipment - of course, it was impossible to feed them directly.

A total of one thousand longbows, three thousand pairs of armor, and ten thousand ring-handled knives were all eliminated from the general's palace.

If the Wuxi people have enough Han army equipment, even if it is not as good as the knockout products from the General's Mansion, if they can arm the entire army, they will still be a force that cannot be underestimated.

But Chen Gong didn't ask, lest the Shanyue people ask for it...

As for whether the Shanyue people will pay the price for underestimating the enemy?
What does that have to do with Chen Gong...

Chen Gong's original intention was to make them dog eat dog, and then he and Zhang Liao took the opportunity to send troops to Jingnan.

Morally... The cooperation between Chen Gong and them has a clear price tag. You underestimated the enemy and caused damage. What does it have to do with the General's Mansion?The promised food, grass, and supplies will not be missing from you either.

"Mohuken also has a younger brother, Sha Moke, who needs to pay attention." Gou Cang said at this time.

The Hook Snake tribe seems to be in frequent contact with the Wuxi people, and the "contact" is not too friendly...

"Shamoke? Wait, isn't their father and son's surname Mo?" Chen Gong asked in confusion.

"According to the custom of the Wuxi people, generally the heirs who inherit the family business will inherit the surname. When Moko was alive, Samoko was called Mosake, but after Mohuken became the leader, the few brothers who were still alive They have also changed their names," Gou Cang said.

The few brothers who are still alive...

Well, seeing the process of succession is quite bloody!

Chen Gong understood after thinking about it - Lao Jingfu died on the way back from the defeated army. In that case, the issue of successor was indeed easy to cause chaos.

Wangkong muttered something to Gou Cang, and Chen Gong pretended not to understand and frowned, but... in fact, Chen Gong could already understand some key words, which probably meant that Shamoke was a loser. Nothing to worry about.

"Shamoko is only fourteen or fifteen years old now. He was just a child at the time. Of course he couldn't compete with his elder brother, and his brain seems to be not very good. Now it is the knife in Mohuken's hand... Xiyuan and Sitong in your tribe Even if we join forces, we are no match for him even with one hand!" Gou Cang reminded.

When Chen Gong heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that he was just stronger in force...

Wangkong was already laughing and said: "Hahaha, people without wisdom are not worthy of being called strong!"
