The Jagged Emperor of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 643 The Conflict (Part [-])

Although Yu Jin was Liu Chan's plenipotentiary representative, he was only a plenipotentiary representative in discussing with Quan Cong how to deal with the Jiangdong Navy in Lukou Port.As for Quan Cong's plan to defeat Sun Jiao's army, Yu Jin had no right to decide whether to adopt it.

However, Yu Jin still assured Quan Cong that he would report it in detail in the reply document to Liu Chan.I believe that Liu Chan should be able to make a decision soon.

But in fact, after these few days of negotiations, Yu Jin's task has been completed.And Quan Cong also got Yu Jin's promise that he would accept his army and send troops to help him avenge Sun Quan's family for killing his mother in the future.

Then, it was finally time for Quan Cong to leave Yiyang City.This time, Yu Jin personally sent Quan Cong to the hills and mountains west of Yiyang City.

Immediately, Quan Cong and Zhou Cheng arrived at Dongting Lake, boarded their ship, and set sail away.

At this time, Yu Jin didn't delay any more in Yiyang City.He also wanted to set off immediately and return to Xiangtan.Because he knew that as his documents were passed on to Shizi, Shizi must need himself to counsel him on a new military action plan.

Having said that, during the days when Yu Jin was rushing to Yiyang City and negotiating with Quan Cong, Liu Chan's side was of course not idle.

In fact, it should be said that there have been some big changes on Liu Chan's side.This accident actually came from the territory of Jiangdong.

In the mainland of Jiangdong, there are a large number of Shanyue people in almost all the mountainous areas within the counties and counties.Shanyue was originally a branch of the Baiyue tribe.

The distribution range of Baiyue is so vast that it is absolutely unimaginable for ordinary people.They lived in all areas along the eastern coast of China, including the southward area of ​​China and Chongqing, Sichuan.But it's much more than that.They also occupied all of today's Vietnam, a large part of Myanmar and Laos.Today, most of the ethnic groups there are actually evolved from the Baiyue ethnic group.

Shanyue inherited a part of Baiyue's territory, and also inherited Baiyue's pure iron-making and ordnance armor technology.But as the Han people became stronger, they were forced to move into the mountains.

But as mentioned in the second volume above, Shanyue was no longer a pure nation by the time of the Eastern Han Dynasty.He is a mixed ethnic group that includes local aborigines, Han Chinese who fled into the mountains to avoid taxes, and even some fugitives.

In other words, the Shanyue people have already had a deep degree of Sinicization at this time.This can be seen from the names of their leaders, such as Zu Lang, Yan Baihu and Peng Hu, who are so Sinicized.

However, Shanyue actually retained some systems of the original Baiyue.They scattered in large groups, lived in small groups, and practiced martial arts well. Relying on the dangerous mountains, they formed armed groups. Their leaders were called "Shuai", "Dashuai", "Zongshuai" and many other titles. They were in a semi-independent state from the central feudal regime.

It is precisely because Shanyue people do not go out of the mountain, they only carry out agricultural production in the mountainous area, and they also have quite sophisticated weapon-making technology; second, the Shanyue people have their own independent military organization, which can be organized very easily. The regime resisted taxes, and even went down the mountain to plunder the residents of the plains.Therefore, since the era of Sun Ce, Shanyue has always been the key target of the Soochow regime.

Therefore, among those generals who became famous in Jiangdong, it is almost impossible to find anyone who has not fought against the Shanyue people.Even when Lu Xun and Zhuge Ke behind were in power, they still continued to fight the Shanyue people.

For the Jiangdong people, the Shanyue people are the big troubles that live next door to them, but disturb their lives all the time, and they want to get rid of them quickly.

But the big troubles of Jiangdong people are not necessarily troubles for Liu Chan.On the contrary, Shanyue can also be the object of Liu Chan's cooperation.For this point, Liu Chan had already been in contact with them through Han Long.

The life of the Shanyue people has become more and more difficult these days. The reason is that the Jiangdong Army and the Shu Han army had a protracted war, and the Jiangdong Army suffered heavy losses.

The problem is, since the Jiangdong Army suffered a disastrous defeat, it should be an easy and good thing for Shanyue, right?
In fact, this is not the case.Shanyue was indeed regarded as a huge trouble by the Soochow regime, and it was right that he was hit hard.However, another deep reason why the Soochow regime was so active in attacking Shanyue was that they regarded Shanyue as a recruiting place without capital.

In other words, as soon as the Jiangdong army conquered a certain Shanyue tribe, they would suffer disaster next.All the strong men were forced into the army of the Jiangdong Army to fight as soldiers.

The remaining poorer men and women were forced to leave the mountains and move to the plains to engage in agricultural production.Of course, the land in the plains is more fertile and production is easier.But the problem is that these people are to be governed, and the taxation is extremely heavy.Even many of the Han people fled into Shanyue because they couldn't bear the high burden of taxes.Now you want to force them to go out of the mountains to pay taxes, who would like the Shanyue people?
Things have become very clear here.

The Jiangdong army was defeated by the Shu Han army, and the army suffered heavy losses, so of course they would turn their attention to the Shanyue people again.As a result, the Shanyue people suffered disaster.Sun Quan began to send troops around, and once again launched a war of conquest against the Shanyue people.

For a while, the life of the Shanyue people became miserable because of a war that had nothing to do with them.

Wherever there is oppression, there will be people calling on the people to rebel.Although most of these people ended up tragically.

Therefore, under the leadership of the commanders of their respective tribes, the Shanyue people took up arms and fought against the Jiangdong army again.But just like the previous results, the Shanyue people are regular troops commanded by those generals who can't defeat Jiangdong.As a result, the Shanyue people's wars were defeated again and again, and many tribes were conquered by the Jiangdong people.

However, among the Shanyue people, there are actually quite a few smart people.For example, Shanyue Shuai Youtu from Poyang County, which is very close to Jingzhou.This person's tribe can be said to be the most powerful in the north of Yangzhou. If all the men and horses in the tribe are gathered, it is said that a huge army of 3 people can be formed!
Therefore, in the past, Sun Quan's army would not dare to provoke Youtu easily.But now it's different. Sun Quan is mobilizing troops from various counties in Yangzhou to gather in Linchuan County, which has caused the troops in his hands to become stretched.Therefore, Sun Quan decided to attack Youtu.After hitting this Yutu, it became easy for other tribes to deal with it.

So, in Nanjun, he was so frightened by the cruelty of Ling Tong's people that he almost fell ill like Zhuge Jin, and He Qi, who took the initiative to ask for orders to go to Wujun to farm the fields, did not live long. Called again.Sun Quan ordered him to leave some troops in Tuntian District and organize the local residents to harvest grain. He himself led 6000 troops, together with Danyang prefect Zhou Bing's 5000 troops, to attack Youtu.

You Tu was clearly unprepared for the sudden arrival of the troops of He Qi and Zhou Bing.Therefore, he was attacked by He Qi's troops at the very beginning, and the troops in his headquarters were immediately defeated.The so-called pre-emptive attack and second-strike control, You Tu was immediately hunted down by He Qi and Zhou Dory's men, and it was almost impossible to organize a favorable resistance force, so he had to hide in the deep mountains in the end.

You Tu, who has lost most of his territory, is of course very friendly to Jiangdong people.So he thought of taking revenge on the Jiangdong people.He knew that most of the troops of the Jiangdong Army were fighting fiercely with the troops of the Shu Han in Jingzhou. This should be an opportunity he could take advantage of.

Moreover, You Tu had a relationship with Han Long in the first place.He wanted to send cooperation news to Liu Chan through Han Long's channel.
