Chapter 422 Five Barbarians
Hutou Mountain, the peaks are towering and the plain walls are thousands of avenues.
There is a stream in the mountains called Man River. After flowing through Wanling County, it is poured into Youshui and rolls eastward.
Around the Pixi River, there are pine trees, the scenery in the mountains is beautiful, the twists and dragons are twisted, and the green sky is dyed with greenery. From a distance, it shows the strange, dangerous and quietness.
The so-called Wuxi Man refers to the mountain people who lived here for generations.
Among them were Xiongxi, Luxi, Chenxi, Youxi and Wuxi. Most of them lived in the mountains. They were dangerous passes in the mountains and attacked counties. Since Guangwu, the Han Dynasty raised troops many times, causing great harm to the surrounding counties and counties, and it was not until the Zhongping period.
In mid-spring, the stream is lush.
Shamoke took his eldest son Shaqiu and walked along the stream, watching the scenery around him, but his eyebrows were furious, as if he had something to do.
Shamoke, who was in his thirties, returned to the Wuxi Man eight years ago. After taking over the position of the Barbarian King from the old Barbarian King, he continued to annex the weak barbarians around as Dong Qi asked, expanding the territory of the Wuxi Man, and gradually connecting with Shanyue.
There was Hu Zhao's support inside, and there was Wuling Prefect Zhou Xin who helped him.
Dong Qi continued to deliver various equipment to Shamoke through Zhang Song of Xichuan, doubled Shamoke's strength. The Wuxi Man has always been short of brave men, and now he has a leader, so after it develops, it is out of control.
Samoko should be very happy.
His wish that had not been fulfilled by generations has now been realized by him. From Youyang in the west to Yunmengze in the south to Yiling in the south; from Dongting in the south to Yiling in the north, most of the mountains and fields in Jingxiang were controlled by Shamoke, and he became the veritable Wuling Great Barbarian King. In the south, there are now three kings. Shamoke is one of them.
The other two kings are the Shanyue King Xini, who merged the Fan Miao. They are mainly composed of ancient Yue people, and there are also many Han people who hid in the mountains during the war. This group of people is mainly distributed in Panyang, Le'an, Haihun (now in Jiangxi Province). They are also connected with the Shanyue Zongmen in Danyang, Kuaiji and Xindu. They rely on the self-produced copper and iron in the mountains to repeatedly fight with Sun Ce.
There is another king, Meng Dan, the Southern Barbarian King in Jianning, Yizhou (now Jinning, Yunnan), who joined forces with the 36-cave little barbarian kings, and was extremely powerful. The three major barbarian kings met in the Chenyang Alliance in Wuling in the third year of Jian'an, and supported each other, creating a great momentum.
Whether it was Liu Biao, Sun Ce or Liu Zhang, he was helpless against the three kings.
Among the three kings, Shamoke has the strongest foundation and has become the leader of the southern wilderness barbarians, named Shaman King.
But Shamoko is not happy!
Swinging off the horse next to a strange rock, Shamoko squatted by the stream.
Sha Qiu is almost ten years old, and she is mostly born like Mrs. Gan, but she looks handsome. Compared to Sha Moko's tall and powerful body, Sha Qiu seems a little thin and thin. But don't underestimate this little guy, whose thin body contains huge power.
He practiced the Five Animals guidance since childhood, and with the guidance of Hu Zhao and Gan Yuniang, he was quite calm and had the style of a general at a young age.
In the past two years, Mrs. Gan gave birth to three more children for Shamoko, two of whom were girls and one boy. Shamoko loved her eldest son and kept it by her side at all times. On the one hand, it was to facilitate him to learn from Hu Zhao, and on the other hand, it was to allow him to learn from Hu Zhao, and on the other hand, it was to allow him to get through affairs early.
Sha Qiu was very sensible. Seeing Shamoke dazed by the stream, he knew that his father was thinking about his uncle and second uncle again...
"Dad, why are you so depressed?" Sha Qiu asked knowingly.
Shamoko sighed, "It's so good to be in this mountain all day long. Last night I dreamed of my elder brother and my second brother, and dreamed of galloping across the battlefield with him, killing generals and grabbing the flag. How happy is it? Jiuer, you don't know, your father and I were big with you back then..."
Sha Qiu's nickname is Jiuer, but it is because the day he was born coincides with the Double Ninth Festival.
He quickly stopped Shamoko's nagging, "Dad, I know that you, your uncle and the second uncle, were invincible together in the north and south... Even my mother knew you at that time, and you have said these words to me countless times."
"Is that so? Have I said it many times?"
Shamoke scratched his chaotic red hair, laughed twice, reached out to put his hand on Shacho's head, and rubbed his black hair.
"Dad really wants to be with your uncle and others again, drink and eat meat, what a happy life? In the Western Regions, I always thought about doing something, but I really came back and did this career, but I felt that it was still comfortable to stay with your second uncle... Haha, I don't have to worry about anything all day long. Kill people when it's time to kill, and drink when it's time to drink, it's simple and happy."
Sha Qiu was speechless about his own son.
Shamoke's natural irritability has become much gentler after years of hard work. To be honest, he is really not a qualified barbarian king. If Hu Zhao and Mrs. Gan were not watching over, they would not know what they would have become.
Sha Qiu was not deeply impressed by the eldest uncle and second uncle that Shamoke and Mrs. Gan often talked about.
After all, when he left the Western Regions, he was only one or two years old. But from Hu Zhao and some captured Han people, Sha Qiu heard a lot about his two uncles. Especially his second uncle, he was actually a famous general of tigers and wolfs.
Sometimes, Sha Qiu was very excited and wanted to visit these two uncles.
It’s a pity that the mountains are high and the road is far away. If you want to go through it, you will have to go through some trouble. Therefore, I understand Shamoko’s mood.
"Dad, I heard from someone that the battle in Luoyang... did the second uncle win?"
"What's so strange about this? Your second uncle is very capable. Although Cao Jili is also a great man, there are still some gaps in the end."
"That's not necessarily!" Sha Qiu said: "If Yuan Shao hadn't been stupid, even though his second uncle besieged more than 100,000 troops from the coalition forces, it would probably not be easy to eat it. I just don't know what tricks his second uncle used, and he actually cheated Cao Cao... If he delayed for another month, I'm afraid that his second uncle might not have been able to get a advantage. The most likely result is that both sides with Cao Cao were injured."
Shamoko glanced at Sha Qiu strangely, and suddenly smiled, "Is it the drunken words Hu Kongming said again?"
"It's not a drink, the teacher is right. This time my second uncle can win is really luck... If the three gate guards hadn't turned against each other, maybe my second uncle had already retreated to Guanzhong now. But the teacher said that sometimes this luck is also a skill."
"Hehe, you guy, know how to respect your teachers and respect your ways!"
After Shamoko said that, he stood up and stretched his waist, and moved his neck, "Okay, we have been out for a long time. If we don't go back, I'm afraid your mother will be anxious again. Unexpectedly, after talking to you, the little guy, the depression in his heart will be greatly relieved."
Sha Qiu scratched his head and started laughing.
The father and son stepped onto the war horse and headed towards the camp of the Xixi River.
Not long after walking back, a general was galloping towards him. This man was about fifty years old, short and fat, and bloated. His face always had a very kind smile, which made people feel intimate. He jumped off the horse and was panting.
"Fatty Zhou, you really need to lose weight!"
When Shamoke saw this person, he smiled and joked. The fat man named Zhou Chao this time. He said that he was a traitor.
This guy was originally a Taiping Dao believer. In the fourth year of Zhongping, Qu Xing in Changsha rebelled, and the Zhou Dynasty and another believer Guo Shi rebelled with Qu Xing. However, after only more than a month, Sun Jian led his troops to suppress the rebellion. He killed Qu Xing in fifty days and Taiping Dao was defeated.
Although Zhou Chao looked stupid, he was quite silly.
When Qu Xing defeated Sun Jian in the first battle, he persuaded Qu Xing: "Sun Jian is rarely known as brave, how could he be defeated easily? Cheng Pu Huang Gai under his command were all brave generals, and he fought with the Qiang people in Xiliang and used troops well. This defeat would inevitably lead to fraud, and the generals should be cautious."
He had good intentions, but Qu Xing was already blinded by the continuous victory at that time.
In Qu Xing's eyes, the official army was just a mob, how could it resist his army's attack? Therefore, he angrily scolded the Zhou Dynasty and almost killed him.
Fortunately, Guo Shi stood up and pleaded for the Zhou Dynasty. Only then did Qu Xing save the Zhou Dynasty from his death penalty.
But in private, Guo Shi secretly asked: "Ling Xian, what you said before was a fraudulent defeat, but it is true?"
Guo Shi was a general, and he was able to fight for two battles with his gun and horse. But if you use your brain, you can't compare to the Zhou Dynasty who has read books and can read words.
Zhou Chao sneered: "Of course, Qu Xing is not a person who accomplishes great things after all. If you stay by his side, you will be in danger sooner or later. Sun Jian is a tiger, how can Qu Xing match it? Maozhen, I want to leave Changsha and escape into Wuling Mountain to take refuge, so what do you think?"
The Zhou Dynasty and Guo Shi had a very good relationship. After hearing this, Guo Shi hesitated for a moment and made up his mind.
The two of them took a group of people and found an excuse to leave Changsha and hid in the deep mountains. Soon after, Sun Jian killed Qu Xing and Changsha was defeated.
Sun Jian was a person with extremely tough methods, but he was not ruthless to Taiping Taoists.
Zhou and Guo traveled to the mountains, but were later caught by the Wuxi Man Lao Wang, and then settled in Wuxi Man. It has been more than ten years since then.
The two of them later found out that the little king of Wuxi Man was actually the Marquis of Tai Ting of the court, and they couldn't help but feel the thought.
After Shamoke returned, the two supported Shamoke as the Barbarian King, Guo Shi knew the army, and the Zhou Dynasty was also clever, and gradually gained Shamoke's trust. Now the titles of traitors have disappeared. Instead, they were replaced by the position of Chief Commander awarded by the court.
Of course, this court is talking about Liu Bian from Chang'an.
As a result, the Zhou Dynasty and Guo Shi and the others were grateful to Shamoke. Later, they won over Mei Cheng, a believer in Taiping Road in Danyang, and obtained two thousand Danyang soldiers, officially becoming a member of the Wuxi Man. The three rebels in the past have now regarded the Wuxi Man as their home.
After hearing Shamoke's joke, Zhou Chao laughed.
"The Chao also wants to be as powerful as a king, but this natural fat meat cannot be removed. There is no way, there is no way."
Shamoko smiled and said, "Fatty Zhou, why are you in such a hurry?"
"Oh, it was Lord Hu who asked me to come out to find you and said there was something important to discuss with the king."
Hu Zhao, named Wuxichang by Dong Qi, was an official position specially established for him, with a rank of 2,000 stones, the same salary as the prefect.
Shamoke felt nervous when he heard this, and he didn't know what Hu Zhao had to do with him suddenly.
"Since that's the case, let's go back quickly."
The three of them beat horses and whipped them, and soon arrived at the camp of the Xixi River. The terrain of this Xixi River is rugged, with a pass around it, with pine trees on both sides of the stream, and the land is particularly fertile. In the entire camp, there are 5,000 barbarians living in Wuxi, plus two thousand Danyang soldiers, a total of 8,000. In addition, there are also Wuxi barbarians distributed among the surrounding mountains, with a total of more than 30,000 people, which is the native tribe of Shamoke.
Shamoko dismounted in the camp and strode into the tent.
Everything here is based on the layout of Dong Qi's Chilechuan ranch back then, but it is mainly infantry, farming and hunting.
In the big tent, Hu Zhao was watching the map.
Seeing Shamoko coming in, he quickly got up to greet him...
Shamoko said: "Old man, what's the matter with me so anxious?"
If the same words were said from others, Hu Zhao would definitely be furious. However, he and Shamoke were also accustomed to being scolded and could not change his words. Therefore, Shamoke could call him an old man, but there was no disrespect in his words.
Hu Zhao said: "Bar, Liu Biao and Liu Bei have joined forces!"
I'm afraid that among the three Southern Barbarians, Hu Zhao dared to call Shamoke that's the name.
"If you join forces, what do you have to do with us?"
"Why don't you use your brain and think about it carefully? How did your wife come from? Liu Bei and Liu Biao joined forces to attack the six counties of Jiangdong, while Sun Ce's arm was in Luoyang. How could Sun Bofu, one of the one-armed ones, be the opponent of Liu Bei and Liu Biao?"
The so-called one of Sun Ce's arms is about Zhou Yu.
Shamoke asked in confusion: "Dog bites a dog, a mouthful of hair... What does it have to do with me if they get Jiangdong? Old man, don't go around in circles, just make it clear."
Hu Zhao sighed helplessly and drew a few lines on the map with a charcoal pen.
"If Sun Ce is defeated, Liu Bei will get Kuaiji, Danyang Wujun, and Liu Biao will occupy Lujiang, Yuzhang. On the surface, the two families will have something to gain. However, Liu Bei's strength will be improved again, and Liu Biao... You see, it is divided according to the Yangtze River, but in fact it will lengthen the front line and there are flaws everywhere. How could Liu Bei allow Liu Biao to be proud, but he is afraid that he will capture Jingzhou in the next step. If Liu Bei obtains Jingzhou, Wuling will be in danger."
The Zhou Dynasty was chi Zhi, but after hearing what Hu Zhao said, he realized.
"Cao Cao and Yuan Shao have no time to look south when they use troops. If Liu Bei unified the south... wouldn't he have greatly increased his strength? Chao still remembers that the letter from the Chang'an Grand Governor mentioned that the split South is easier to accept than the unified South. What the Grand Governor asked the King to do was to maintain the split situation in the south and make it impossible for it to develop quietly? If he let it go, something big will happen."
When Shamoko heard this, he understood!
"What do you mean is that we want to send troops?"
"It's not just us, but also the Yamatsube... When necessary, I even help Sun Ce to block the Er Liu at any cost."
"Do you still want to help Sun Ce?"
“That’s right!”
After pondering for a while, Shamoke said in a deep voice: "Old man, you and Ling Xian are responsible for this matter. Make a plan as soon as possible. I will send someone to Wuling to see if Lord Zhou Xin can help us. In addition, I will order Guo Shimeicheng to prepare troops and fight at any time... Since Liu Biao has focused on Jiangdong, his backyard must be very empty."
Hu Zhao nodded, "Don't forget, I also want to ask Xi Ni to send troops to cooperate."
"Xini... may not be willing to help this!" Shamoko pondered for a long time and whispered: "But I know there is someone who might be useful. But this person has nothing to do with us. If you want to ask him to do it, it will probably take some trouble."
"Who?" Hu Zhao asked.
