Hou Hui felt excited in his heart, clapped his hands suddenly, and cheered loudly, while Yang Mei frowned deeply and murmured: "But, we Di people don't have such a popular leader now. Arrogant man.
Since the fall of the country, our various tribes have been separated and scattered in various counties. Many of our tribesmen have mixed with the Han people in Shu and intermarried. If we, the former leaders, had not been recruited during wars, we would have been no different from ordinary Han people.
In twenty years, when we former tribal leaders grow old, I am afraid that the next generation will not be able to gather the old tribesmen again."
The black robe smiled slightly: "Yes, divide and conquer is a method that the Han people have always used to divide and disintegrate the foreign tribes. It is indeed powerful. However, there may not be a leader of the Di people in Shu now who can respond to everything, but that does not mean that there is not a large Han clan who can respond to everything.
ah."
Hou Hui and Yang Mei's eyes lit up at the same time, and they said in unison: "My benefactor is saying, Qiao..."
The black robe nodded with satisfaction: "Exactly, Qiao Zong is the head of the Qiao clan, a local wealthy family, and is highly respected by everyone. The Qiao family has been the number one wealthy family in the local area since the Shu Han Dynasty. It has been more than two hundred years. Since the Shu Han Dynasty, the land of Shu has at least changed.
There have been three or four dynasties, but only the Qiao family remains standing. No matter which regime is in charge of Shu, it must cooperate with the Qiao family."
Hou Hui's brows gradually wrinkled: "However, although Qiao Zong has such influence, he has no ambition for fame. We have also hinted that we are willing to support him before, especially after the Battle of Feishui.
Shu was almost in a vacuum and undefended, and he was determined not to stand on his own at that time, let alone now."
Yang Mei nodded: "Yes, Qiao Zong told us at that time that no matter who came to Shu, he would only be a temporary official and could not do without local powerful people like us. In this way, even though we are not the lords of Yizhou in name,
But in fact everything is under our control, and we don’t have to take risks. We only need to judge the situation and fall to whoever is stronger. This is the fundamental reason why their Qiao family has been standing for hundreds of years. The Mao family of Jin State, in
The separatist regime here has been entrenched for nearly twenty years, but it is still inseparable from our local governance. It is no wonder that Qiao Zong refuses to come forward."
The black robe smiled slightly: "Qiao Zong really doesn't want to take advantage of the chaos, because Mao's conscription will not affect the strength of his family anyway. This time the conscription is to ask you to recruit people and shed blood and sacrifice, he Qiao Zong
All you have to do is provide food and fodder, and then Qiao Zong will use the title of commander to follow behind. When you actually reach the front line, you will allocate Mao Jin's subordinates, and then he will push you to lead the battle. In the end, everyone will die and all the blood will be shed.
But he has made the Mao family famous. Is it possible that he has reached this point and still wants to sit back and wait for death and let others slaughter him?"
Hou Hui gritted his teeth and said, "We can't live like this anymore. My dear benefactor, do you want us to kidnap Qiao Zong, force him to be the master, and then use his name to call on all the great clans in Shu to kill the Mao family?"
"
Yang Mei sighed: "Even if Qiao Zong is willing, the Mao family is not a bicycle governor. Since they entered Sichuan, they have brought more than 20,000 elite soldiers who just finished the Battle of Feishui. In the past twenty years, these
The soldiers and horses have been rotated and replenished many times, and now there are 15,000 elites loyal to them. The last time they attacked Liangzhou, these troops were very powerful. Our soldiers and horses in Shu have been divided for a long time.
Without a joint force, individual bravery can be organized into an army of thousands, which will take time. And the Han people in Shu have low combat power and no will to fight, so they will be useless on the battlefield. If they really want to raise an army, I'm afraid
It’s hard to do that.”
Heipao smiled and waved his hand: "You only know one thing, but you don't know the other. The troops brought by the Mao brothers into Yizhou, because Yizhou is remote, cannot be replaced in three years like elsewhere, so most of them will be for a long time.
They settled in Yizhou and called them Yinghu, similar to the military household system in the Three Kingdoms period. These people may have been quite capable at fighting back then, but after twenty years, they have long since aged, and their nephews have also become accustomed to the peaceful days of Shu.
, and no longer want to go into battle and fight desperately. The most important thing is that the Mao brothers' war is good for them, but what good is it for ordinary soldiers? You are just asking people to go to war, just to add some rewards after victory.
For the soldiers of the Mao family, the rewards are just more, the difference is not big."
Hou Hui laughed: "So, even these troops of the Mao family can instigate rebellion?"
The black robe shook his head: "I'm afraid it will not be easy to make them defect before the battle. After all, they have followed Mao for many years and have settled here. However, this expedition, especially the last expedition to Liangzhou, killed three thousand people.
Many people are about to go out again before they have time to recover their strength, and they are unwilling to do so. Your Shu army is crying loudly here. In front of you, the Liangzhou Mao Army in Fucheng is also complaining. If you
If the whole army can defect and raid the front army, then most of them will not resist desperately. If both armies collapse or defect, then Mao Can and others in Chengdu will become the governor on a bicycle without any soldiers. At this time, you only need to
When we turn back to attack Chengdu and Yizhou, they are in your hands, no longer need to be controlled by others!"
Hou Hui laughed and punched the small case in front of him: "Just do it."
Yangmi gritted his teeth: "But, our wives and children are still being held hostage in various places. If..."
A hint of murderous intent flashed in the black robe's eyes, causing Yang Mei to stop his mouth. He said in a deep voice: "When Li Te entered Sichuan, his family was also held hostage in the hands of Luo Shang, the governor of Yizhou at the time. Is it because of this?
Aren't you going to resist? You can even risk your own life if you want to do something big, let alone your family. If you act fast enough and destroy the front army first and then attack Chengdu, Mao Chu may not even have time to order various places to kill your family members.
, if you go on this expedition, the final result will be what I said, you will give it to Mao Jin and others to die on the front line. If you die, will your family be saved? Isn't it like the previous tribal leaders who failed?
Same thing, give wives and children to other armies? Then you will be dead, and your wife will become someone else's woman. Is this the ending you want?!"
Yang Mei was so angry that he bit his lip tightly and said loudly: "How can a man accept such humiliation? Just do it!"
The black robe nodded with satisfaction: "What we want is this kind of momentum. Right now, Qiao Zong is inspecting Shuikou with Mao Yuan. You go directly with your soldiers and kill Mao Yuan. When the time comes, Qiao Zong will not be able to argue with you, and he will have to do it if you don't.
I followed you and rebelled!"
