I seek economic hegemony in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 303 Teach Nanman how to behave

A large number of soldiers and horses entered the city from the north gate with great momentum.

Some people in the distance watched timidly and did not dare to get close.

The caravans followed the soldiers and horses into the city.

Occasionally, excited shouts came out: "Master Wang is here, kill all those barbarians! Kill all those barbarians!"

By the riverside outside the city, some people holding ring-headed knives dragged strangely dressed people over like dead dogs and made them kneel in several rows.

From time to time, some people gathered around to watch.

Several strong men drew their knives, assigned tasks, and then began to chop off the heads one by one.

They are very strong and skillful in their skills. With one strike, a head will fall off.

The head rolled over the dead grass, covered in broken grass, and rolled to the river, where it was picked up and held aloft by its hair.

In order to avenge Guan Yu, Liu Bei bribed Shamoko with a lot of money, and Shamoko led the Wuxi Barbarians to help out.

For this reason, the people cheered and welcomed the Han army into the city.

Half a month ago, a large-scale barbarian rebellion broke out in the Zishui and Yuanshui areas.

The number of barbarian troops quickly increased from thousands to tens of thousands at the beginning.

Suddenly, news was received that the Han army had entered Yiyang.

Right now, those who were kneeling by the river and being beheaded were the barbarians of the Wuxi Barbarians.

Later, the barbarians in the Lishui area responded in large numbers and broke through Lingyang.

There is a deep hatred between Wuxi Man and Wu State.

It includes the eastern part of Wuling County and the northern part of Hengyang County.

In order to quickly eliminate the threat, the Han army used thunderous means to execute a large number of Wuxi barbarians staying in Yiyang.

Speaking of the Wuxi Barbarians, there once was a relatively famous figure named Shamoke. He was the leader of the Wuxi Barbarians in Wuling County.

This matter spread quickly in a short period of time. Not only the fleeing people came back, but also the business travelers.

That was the time when power was handed over between Han and Wu.

There were bursts of cheers all around.

Later in the Battle of Yiling, Lu Xun burned down the Han army's camp. Samoko came to help but was defeated by the Wu army and beheaded by the Wu army general.

These barbarians captured Yuannan and Longyang in the Yuanshui area, and then went south to capture Yiyang with great momentum.

Wu officials evacuated on a large scale, and local order collapsed in a short time.

At this time, Tian Gong, the leader of the Wuxi Barbarians, was discussing matters with the generals of various ministries.

The barbarians in this area are called Wuxi barbarians.

On the first day of November, the news quickly spread to Linyuan (Changde), which was only a hundred miles away from Yiyang for support.

After Yiyang was reduced to an empty city, the Han army went south, quickly entered Yiyang, defeated the barbarians in this area, and regained Yiyang.

"What! All our people were killed?" Tian Gong stood up, his face ashen.

"Chief, here comes an army composed of at least a thousand Central Plains people."

"Why did so many troops suddenly arrive?" Shu Sipiao, another tribe leader, asked in surprise, "Didn't you say there is still a war in the north?"

Everyone was talking about it.

"This time the Central Plains people went too far and increased the tax five times!" Tian Gong said angrily, "They will take away all the prey we hunt! All our work for a year will be given to our children. !”

"So no matter how many people are captured this time, we will resist until the end!"

After saying that, Tian Gong grabbed the weapon and said with firm eyes: "Gather everyone together, let's go to Yiyang together, let the Han people in the Central Plains know that we are not easy to mess with!"

News of the summons spread quickly, and from Longyang to Yuannan and then to Linyuan, a large number of Wuxi barbarians began to gather.

On the fifth day of November, a piece of information was delivered to Bu Zhao stationed in the Dongting Lake area. "General, Tian Gong gathered a large number of main forces in the Linyuan area and headed south to Yiyang." Li Rui, who joined the army, said excitedly, "It's as you expected."

Bu Zhi just took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "This tea from the general, oh no, this tea tastes better than Jiangdong's."

"General, aren't we going to Yiyang now?"

"Don't go!"

"But Yiyang only has a thousand troops, so it may be difficult to resist the barbarians." Li Rui became a little worried, "The main force of the barbarians has moved out."

"I just want to wait for their main force to arrive in Yiyang and finally surround Yiyang." Bu Zhao looked indifferent, he knew those barbarians too well.

"The barbarians fought bravely, but their military discipline was loose and they fought independently. Once a small area was defeated, the main force was defeated. I deliberately attracted their main force to Yiyang."

Li Rui was stunned and couldn't help but nodded.

"Write a letter to the general and say that the Wuxi barbarians raised their troops this time because Wu officials increased taxes five times without authorization!" Bu Zhao's eyes showed a trace of resentment, "I want to calm down the troubles in the counties." , a combination of grace and power is needed.”

"Well, I'll write it now."

On the tenth day of November, Tian Gong's main army entered the Yiyang area.

The long queue between the mountain roads stretched to the end. A large number of barbarian soldiers were wearing animal skins and holding knives, bows and arrows. They were communicating with each other.

Occasionally he roared in anger, and occasionally he laughed happily.

Some tribes of barbarians also caught some Han women having fun.

On November 11th, the main force of the Wuxi Barbarians was only a dozen miles away from Yiyang.

At this time, the whole of Yiyang was once again in panic. A large amount of food was transported into the city and the city gate was closed.

On November 12, Tian Gong arrived in Yiyang with about 20,000 people.

They vowed to kill all the Han troops in Yiyang to intimidate the Han government in the north.

In fact, the Central Plains has been at war with this area since the Huangdi period.

Wuxi Barbarians were one of the descendants of Sanmiao. Later, during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the Southern Barbarians in this area not only had no news, but actually grew stronger.

The State of Chu rose and began to slowly use troops against the south.

After Qin was unified, it continued to use troops.

The Han Dynasty continued to use troops.

During the Three Kingdoms period, Wu continued to use troops.

Why do we continue to use troops after thousands of years?
Are they inexhaustible?
Kill endlessly!

The terrain in this area is full of high mountains, which are more mountainous than the Qinling Mountains and Daba Mountains that lie between Guanzhong and Shu.

It can be said that Wuxi barbarians are barbarians living among the mountains. They make a living by hunting, and their customs are completely different from the Central Plains culture.

The Central Plains government's attitude towards them was to suppress and appease them.

But from time to time, some local officials who want to make a fortune will pop up in the Central Plains government.

The way to get rich is to raise taxes!
The increase in taxes caused the Wuxi barbarians to rebel.

Just like Tian Gong now.

On November 23, Tian Gong's army surrounded Yiyang, and a large number of arrows rushed into Yiyang City like a summer rainstorm.

After launching a rain of arrow fire on Yiyang on the first day, the siege began on the second day.

On November 25, just as Tian Gong was commanding the main force to attack Yiyang, Bu Zhao's main force quickly moved south from the direction of Dongting Lake on the other side and entered the main battlefield.

In Bu Zhi's own words, the Nanman were easy to fight, but he was afraid that the Nanman would hide in the mountains and deliberately deplete the morale of the Han army.

Now that the main force of the Southern Barbarians has gathered in Yiyang, the situation is almost the same.
