Mountain.
Zhu Huan arrived here with a group of people.
After the Yidao and Huanggai separated, Zhu Huan walked along the Qing River and then meandered to the point of Mount Yan.
Wherever the mountains are covered, there are many mountains of all sizes standing on both sides of the Qing River.
There were also Ba people here, and these Ba people later gradually evolved into Tujia people in later generations.
There is a very interesting place for the Ba people in the Sichuan and the Qingjiangba people here. The Ba people in the Sichuan are also called Banhua Man, while the Qingjiangba people are called Linjun Man. Then the Linjun Man of Linjun Man is also said to be called it can be transformed into a white tiger, which makes the barbarians around the next generation worship one after another.
There is also a myth between the Ba people in Sichuan, which is that they are descendants of the Ba snake, and the Ba snake "specially focuses on shooting the white tiger"...
Therefore, if it is a Ba people in a broad sense, it actually has a large coverage, especially if it is based on the geographical scope of the ancient Ba Kingdom, it is quite broad. It is said that the Ba people start from Hanzhong in the north, Enshi in the south, Xiajiang in the east, and Luqian in the west. In principle, the tribes living within such a large range can be called Ba people.
"Huayang Guozhi·Bazhi" says: "They belong to Pu, Zhu, Zhu, Zhao, ***, and Huan."
However, it is also said that only people from Bashan can be considered real Ba people.
Anyway, the great man now clearly called himself Ba people, and the main ones were two, namely the Baihuzhiba, the Baishezhiba, who shot and killed the Baihuzhiba.
The place where the mountain is the White Tiger Ba. In the pre-Qin period, Linjun was the leader, including Ba, Fan, Wei, Prime Minister and Zheng. Later, after the Qin Dynasty destroyed Ba, one of the Ba people moved to the south of Jingzhou, and was called Jiangxia Man, while the other branch moved to the Wuling County area, forming part of the Wuling Man.
Therefore, Zhu Huan's purpose came out.
After Zhu Huan arrived in Qishan, he repaired and asked someone to contact the Ba people, the leader of the Ba people.
"Bafu" has arrived. Or called "Bajun", but because the strength of the Ba people is so much different from that of ancient Ba, they can't call the so-called "jun". When they are external, they can only call the "husband".
The bonfire was lit, and Zhu Huan invited Buff to sit.
"General Zhu, you subordinates..." Buff looked at Zhu Huan's subordinates with a look of envy in his eyes, "It's really good."
Zhu Huan smiled and also praised each other for business, "Your subordinates are all warriors."
Buff laughed. He wanted to bring him out to meet people. Unless he had ulterior motives, it was impossible to bring a group of old and weak people to come.
Some wine, some wild game, and the banquet was very simple, but Buff didn't care about these foods. Although Buff claimed to be the descendant of Linjun, he was not very powerful at the moment. The name of the White Tiger obviously could not defeat the wealth, rice, oil and salt.
After eating and drinking, Bafu said, "General Zhu, if you have anything to do, just say it."
Zhu Huan pondered for a moment, then waved and ordered: "Come! Take the gift you brought!"
The soldiers stepped forward, took the gifts prepared in advance, and placed them in front of Buff.
Money, one hundred thousand.
Cloth, ten pieces.
The most important thing is to have ten sets of armor and ten matching battle knives.
The zhajia is in the style of ordinary soldiers, and the sword is also ordinary, but this ordinary is for the Jiangdong Army, and for the Ba people in the mountains, this is not ordinary.
To be honest, Bafu looked down on it. Because the economic structure of the Ba people is very simple and not so complicated that it requires a lot of money to be used. At the same time, Bafu himself, as the leader of a clan, has accumulated some money, so he naturally would not take this 100,000 yuan seriously, but these armors and swords are a little different.
The Ba people did not have a mature metallurgical industry, and even due to low culture, the inheritance of blacksmiths may not be orderly.
Bafu coveted the armor and swords in his heart, but when he went up to check, he just passed by a little, but turned to the cloth, giving higher praise, and even put the cloth on his body, showing that he liked the cloth more than the armor and swords. When his own people took the gift, he laughed and said to Zhu Huan: "General Zhu, how can you be so embarrassed... Haha, I feel sorry for this!"
Why are you so embarrassed? Then don’t let someone take it away so happily! Zhu Huan sneered in his heart, and he became more and more sure that the news he had inquired before was correct...
Buff is a man who is cunning and cunning, and has different opinions.
But this doesn't matter. After all, Zhu Huan is not trying to make friends with Buff, but just wants to make some use of it. As long as Buff has value in making use of it, there is naturally no need to expose his performance. All alliances are actually related to interests, and now Zhu Huan wants to establish such an "alliance" with Buff.
Zhu Huan smiled, "Bafu, I heard that your tribe and the other four surnames seem to be... not so harmonious?"
Buff raised his head, "How is it possible? They all listened to me!"
Zhu Huan said: "Really? Then I heard that some time ago, the Wuling Barbarians came, and then... said that they wanted to re-elect the seat of the Pakistani National Congress? I wonder if it is true or false?"
Buff's face couldn't help but become gloomy, and his eyes turned around for a while, "Why is this happening? Why haven't I heard of it?"
In the eyes of the Han people, the Nanman Mountains seem to be similar, but in fact they have their own dependents, and there are quite a few differences between tribes, and the customs are very different. Therefore, conflicts are inevitable in normal times. Normally, these contradictions are coordinated by the leaders of various races. The original five surnames of the Ba people were mainly from Ba people, and Bafu was equivalent to the leader of the five surnames. But when Bafu performed like this, you can imagine how he looked like among the five surnames of the Ba people.
Bafu Bashi often contacts Han people, so he can naturally easily obtain some Han people's business and then sell them to other Bashi. Of course, in this transaction, Bafu usually calls for making hard money every day, but how to make money and whether it is really hard, only Bafu understands it in his heart.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! With such a relationship, over time, Ba Shi often feels that he can use goods to control other tribes. After all, only they can do it at the beginning. But this matter is not a long-term solution. Some people can't help but contact the Han people. If they spread out, they will always know whether some people are telling the truth or pretending to tell the truth. So gradually, they have some messy voices about the descendants of the White Tiger after Linjun.
But for Zhu Huan, he didn't care about these things. The more greedy and cunning Buff was, the more conducive it would be to implement his strategy.
Although Bafu was verbally tough, after seeing that Zhu Huan knew the inside story, he stopped quibbling, but said: "General Zhu, why bother tempting in such a way? What do you want to do? Just say it."
"I can help you, but you need to help me too." Zhu Huan said slowly, staring at Buff.
Baf frowned, "You want Ba people to fight for you?"
Zhu Huan shook his head and said, "It's not the Ba people who serve us, it's us who serve us."
"What does this mean?" Buff was confused and confused, "Who do we want to fight with?"
Zhu Huan said: "Then what do you think the other four surnames will do next? Will you still listen to Baren? Even after being bewitched by Wulingman, you are still loyal to the White Tiger Linjun? Or is it that the snake in Bashan now does not shoot the White Tiger, but has changed to worship the White Tiger?"
Buff raised his eyebrows, "It's not that serious?"
"It seems that Bafu, you don't know much about the outside world..." Zhu Huan nodded, thinking that this would be easy, "Then let me explain it to Bafu a little..."
Zhu Huan calmly explained the events that happened in Wuling area, as well as the events between Jiangdong and Sichuan, and pointed out with skill that the Sichuan and Shu army was defeated and suffered a great loss of troops. In order to supplement the losses in military strength, what would the Sichuan and Shu army do?
As for whether it is true or not, what the Jiangdong official said anyway.
"I must have wanted to capture our people to be exiled!" Buff slapped his face and said angrily, "That's what Liu Han people did before!"
Of course, Jiangdong did the same, but now the people in Jiangdong are in front of him, so it is hard for Bafu to point at the monk and scold the bald donkey. After all, forcing the barbarians to be soldiers is a tradition in the Han Dynasty. Among the Jiangdong soldiers, there are many mountain Vietnamese barbarians. Therefore, Bafu believes that if the Sichuan and Shu people really lost a large amount of troops in the Yidao and lost a lot of troops, it is entirely possible to replenish troops nearby to catch the strong men.
Thinking of the Wuling Barbarians who had secretly passed by Yashan before, Bafu believed most of the words of Zhu Huan. He now only suspected that the situation was not as bad as Zhu Huan described, and the main direction of the Sichuan and Shu army would still be on Jiangdong, and he would not have much interest in him, the remote Ba people.
"Are people from Sichuan and Shu? Normally, most of them will not come to Mount Yama, but..." Zhu Huan looked at Bafu and said, "But just like I come to Bafu, most people from Sichuan and Shu will also go to Bashan Snake... right? And Bafu, what do you think the people from Sichuan and Shu promised to Bashan Snake?"
Buff's face was so gloomy that it was almost dripping with water.
"If Bafu doesn't believe me, it doesn't matter. Although this time he defeated the temptation of Sichuan and Shu's march, Sichuan is still unstoppable. They will come. Even if they don't come from the water, they will come out of the mountains..." Zhu Huan pointed to the mountains and said to Bafu, "Don't you think that only Ba people can walk these mountain paths? The other four surnames don't know it? Speaking of which, I still have some armor and swords here. If Bafu is not interested and doesn't want to fight, it doesn't matter. I'll go to find other people... I think there will always be people interested..."
Bafu grinded his teeth and stared at Zhu Huan fiercely.
Zhu Huan's words mean more or less threatening.
Armor and swords not only represent wealth, but also increase combat power. A warrior wearing armor and swords can face ten people without armor without fear, but without armor and swords, it may be a bit troublesome to face three people.
If Zhu Huan really had so many armors to give them to others, would other tribes not be jealous?
Will the others who have obtained these armored swords obediently listen to Buff's orders?
In other words, if he did not cooperate with Zhu Huan, he would not only face the Han people's conquest, but also always beware of attacks from the same Ba tribe.
Although a Ba people came to Wuling Man, it does not mean that the Ba people who went out would have any sense of belonging to the Ba people in the mountain and their feelings of loyalty to Bafu. On the contrary, Bafu knew in his heart that if this Ba people really brought Wuling Man back, it would definitely be a disaster for the Ba people in the mountain.
Just like if Bafu led his men into Bashan, the first thing he did was to kill those Baren leaders who claimed to be the Baser Snake inheritance, and then plunder all their assets and eat them...
Although the Ba people did not leave any specific words to explain why Linjun called himself a white tiger back then, and why those who stayed in Bashan claimed to be the Ba snake that shot the white tiger, judging from the relationship between the period, most of them were not so happy back then.
Bafu felt that if he could use the power of Jiangdong to solve some of the heads of some of the four disobedient tribes of the other four surnames, and then strengthen his control over the various Ba tribes in the Qishan area, then he could send some people to cooperate with Zhu Huan's battle and fight the Wulingman first. After solving his worries, he would not only not weaken his strength, but also benefit from it.
Bafu no longer made a statement, and smiled and told Zhu Huan what benefits would be there if the Ba people were willing to cooperate with Zhu Huan to attack the Wuling Man?
Zhu Huan laughed, "Does the only Wuling man still need to work for Bafu?" He briefly explained the previous battle with Huang Gai in the Wuling area, and then said that the main threat of the Ba people is not the direction of Wuling man, but in the direction of Sichuan and Shu. After all, Zhu Huan needed Ba people as a guide to take the route Linjun fled, well, migrated out.
When Bafu heard this, he was very disappointed and the thief was undead. After all, it was easy to attack Sichuan and Shu or bully Wuling. You can understand this with your toes, "In this Wuling, those barbarians just avoided the river, and there were still many people in the mountains and forests!"
"Indeed, I don't deny this." Zhu Huan nodded, "But you... we don't have that much time. Even if we find some, what can we do to offset the consumption of large-scale advances? Moreover, the attacks we have just launched on the Wuling area. Even if those barbarians want to do something, it will be difficult to recover after the heavy blow, so... more importantly, and more beneficial directions are not in Wuling, but in Sichuan and Shu!"
"This..." Buff pondered.
Zhu Huan said something really makes sense, and he couldn't refute it.
"I... well, General Zhu, but I'm going to march into Sichuan and Sichuan... only these people..." Buff's eyes rolled, "What's more, it's autumn, it's going to harvest. If everyone leaves, there will be food and grass..."
"Bafu doesn't have to worry!" Zhu Huan said, "I have sent a message to my Lord, asking for food and grass, and other necessary supplies, these are not problems!"
"Uh...this..." Buff was obviously still hesitating.
Zhu Huan looked at Bafu, was silent for a moment, and then slowly said: "Bafu, I think you should also know that many people from the four tribes are not very satisfied with you now..."
Buff widened his eyes, "Who said that?"
Zhu Huan laughed and didn't answer.
"General Zhu, don't believe those rumors! My people support me!" Buff denied those news that was unfavorable to himself. "Even if some villains are malicious, I am too kind! This time, General Zhu, don't worry, after I go back, I will catch those guys and get rid of them cleanly!"
