Su Qiyi was not far from Qiong. Dongfeng soon received the order from the Ghost King and became furious.
It is true that Yuejun was established as a county by the Han people hundreds of years ago, but there have always been more Yi people than Han people. More than a hundred years ago, most of the connections with the Han area were severed, and the Han court only left a nominal Jurisdiction.
Following Gao Ding's uprising against the Han for more than ten years, Dong Feng further strengthened his belief that the Han people were good at saving face, and as long as they were given a lower ranking on the surface, in reality, they had the final say.
What's more, in the past few decades, I heard that the Han people themselves have been in constant war, so how can they have the energy to control them?
Unexpectedly, as soon as this ghost king came, he asked him to hand over Li Qiucheng, and at the same time, he also asked his tribe to change their customs, move to the plains, and directly become the subjects of the Han emperor!
If Li Qiucheng is really to be handed over, what prestige does he have as a tribal leader? This move is simply to break people's hearts, and it is extremely sinister.
Not to mention letting your tribe move to the plains and come under its jurisdiction, this is really cutting off your own foundation!
"Brother, I have inquired clearly. The Ghost King claimed to have brought 30,000 troops, but in reality it was only 5,000 Han troops. We may not be able to fight."
Dong Weiqu was short and fierce, so he said to Dong Feng.
"How to say?"
"We have two thousand soldiers in our headquarters. If we recruit more, we can reach three thousand at least. My brother is the son-in-law of King Yanniu. King Yanniu will not sit idly by and ignore the destruction of our tribe. The Yanniu tribe has There are thousands of households, at least five or six thousand soldiers."
"There is also a horse-catching tribe in the north. They are extremely brave and have made it clear that they will not succumb to the power of the Ghost King. The horse-catching tribe does not discriminate between men, women, old and young. Everyone has a war horse. Even the Han prime minister did not mess with it easily. Now It’s a place of soldiers and horses.”
"In addition, the heroic commander Lang Cen of Dingzeo County in the south, although he appears to be surrendered to the ghost king, I have always known that he has always been very ambitious, and his tribe has occupied the Dingzeo Salt Pond for a long time. How can the Han people come here? If he keeps doing this, he will eventually take back the salt pond."
"As long as we explain our interests to him, he will definitely respond. Calculating this, the number of soldiers we can assemble will not be less than fifteen thousand, which is three times the strength of the ghost king."
"When the time comes, we will attack his heart. The Yanniu tribe and the horse-catching tribe will come from the north, and the Langcen tribe will come from the south. How can we resist the ghost king, who is surrounded by enemies on three sides? If he knows what he is doing, he will withdraw from Qiongdu. If not, he will retreat from Qiongdu. , I will definitely make him like Gong Lu, who never comes back."
He knew that his brother had always been cunning. When King Gao died, it was his brother who persuaded him to temporarily surrender to the Han prime minister, saying that the Han army would not stay here for long.
As expected, the Han army only stayed for more than two months and then went south, leaving only a small number of troops. Then they gathered the old troops of King Gao Da to rebel against the Han again. The Han were unprepared and had to withdraw from Yuejun.
If you give yourself another three or four years, even if you can't become a figure like King Gao, you can still control the Qiongdu area and become the largest tribe in Yuejun.
But I didn't expect that the Han people would not give up and sent a large army again.
It would be false to say that Dong Feng was not afraid. After all, the prestige of the Han people had been spreading in Yuejun hundreds of years ago.
But if you say that you are so scared that you are willing to do what the Ghost King says, that is not necessarily the case.
The official channels between Yue and Jun and Han have been isolated for more than a hundred years. Especially in the past ten years or so, Yue and Jun have long been dominated by the barbarians. How can there be anything to do with the Han people?
Therefore, it is okay to ask him to raise and lower the table to express surrender, but it is impossible for the Han people to make him completely obedient.
"Now we might as well go up and down the list for the time being, saying that we are obeying the Ghost King's order and preparing to move the whole clan to delay the time. We will also send people to inform the Yanniu Department and the Horse-Capturing Department and the Dingzuo Haoshuai to agree on a date. Let’s attack Qiongdu together.”
Dongkui Qu suggested again.
"This is a great idea! Then follow your plan."
Happy winter greetings.
In March of the fourth year of Jianxing, Meng Yan, the prefect of Yuejun, led 2,000 men and horses northward along the Sunshui Plain to attack the horse-catching tribe in Chan County.
At the same time, Feng Yong, as the ghost king, sent orders to all directions, calling the leaders of the Yi tribes, regardless of their size, to come to Qiongdu to discuss strategies for governing Yuejun.
The Dongqu tribe of Su Qiyi was specifically singled out and ordered to hand over the murderer of the former Yuejun governor, Li Qiucheng, within three days. The head of the Dongqu tribe must go to Qiongdu in person to receive the punishment.
For a moment, Yuejun was shaken, and the barbarians were all shocked and confused.
Dong Feng, the leader of the Dongqu tribe, was frightened and expressed his wish to move his entire clan to Qiongdu. He only asked for some time to allow the clan members to gather together.
Feng Yong agreed, but still ordered that Li Qiucheng must be handed over within a time limit. Dongfeng did not expect that Feng Yong was so urgent. Seeing that he could not delay the process by deceiving him, he immediately rebelled against him.
Feng Yong ordered E Shun to lead 500 people from Gaoding's old tribe as the vanguard, with Zhang Ni as the main general and Huang Chong and Wang Xun as deputy generals. He led 2,000 people to Su Qiyi to attack the Dongqu tribe.
During the winter, people were ordered to erect stone gates at key points in the mountains and store huge stones at the same time.
E Shun led his men to attack fiercely, but the mountain road was bumpy and they could not deploy their formation. Stones rolled down the mountain and many people were smashed to pieces.
Eshun had no choice but to temporarily stop the attack and at the same time sent people to the mountains to warn the barbarians.
"You have been able to defend it for a while, but can you defend it for a lifetime? The Ghost King came in person and issued orders to all directions, but you were the only ones who disobeyed and refused to listen. Once General Zhang's army is deployed, he will kill you all, and it will be too late for you to regret it. "
"If you wake up early and turn around before the army attacks, the ghost king can still be open to you and teach you how to farm, so that you can live and work in peace and contentment from now on."
Eshun was originally Gao Ding's most powerful general, but now he threatened him in the name of the Ghost King, and people in the Dongqu Department were suddenly panicked.
After only two days, Zhang Yi led his army to arrive. When the Yi people on the mountain saw the arrival of the Han army, they became even more panicked.
At night, a leader secretly went down the mountain to surrender and told him about other routes.
Zhang Ni was overjoyed and personally selected the best troops and marched around the mountain to attack in front and behind with King Xun of Eshun Huang Chong.
The Dongqu tribe was already in a state of unrest, but now they were suddenly attacked from both sides. There was an uproar all of a sudden, most of them surrendered, and a few fled to the mountains.
The big leader Li Qiucheng was unable to escape and was captured alive. Jun Changdong was killed in the rebellious army. Only his younger brother Dong Kuiqu led his cronies to escape to the west. Zhang Yi ordered Eshun's troops to enter the mountains and forests to pursue them, and at the same time sent people to Qiondu. Report.
On the edge of Qiongdu City, Feng Yongzheng stood with his hands on his hips in front of the broken city wall, thinking about how to rebuild the city as soon as possible.
Hua Wan came skipping over, holding a branch in her hand, swinging it, and she asked in a clear voice, "Brother Feng family, what are you going to do with so many Yi people?" ?Don’t we already have enough labor at the racecourse?”
When Feng Yong heard Hua Wan's question, he couldn't help but glance at the little girl strangely, "Don't talk nonsense! Those Yi people who followed the call are my people, not just laborers? Besides, there is not enough labor in the racecourse. ?”
This little girl arrived in Yuejun a few days earlier than Feng Yong. I heard that she had spent a lot of labor in Beishui shopping a few days ago.
The weather started to get hotter, so when Hua Wan came to Nanzhong, she started to put on short skirts again, revealing her white calves, which were a bit dazzling under the sun, making Feng Tibi couldn't help but take a second look.
"Brother, don't try to deceive me into being ignorant."
Hua Wan held a branch in her hand and said, "Brother, I don't want to accept the reduction of the Dongqu Department, isn't it just to find more labor? I heard that there are thousands of households in the Dongqu Department. After calculation, Don’t we have nearly 10,000 laborers?”
Hua Wan, who was born in Nanzhong Yi people, now speaks of the word "labor" very smoothly, and does not look like a rabbit or a fox.
This made Feng Tubao feel a little sad. He had fallen so fast.
It seems that the aristocratic family really has a way of corrupting people, otherwise this girl has only been in contact with them for a few days, and she already looks like a female slave leader.
And there must have been a lot of money and food support for this little girl. Otherwise, how could she have the strength to rob people in the labor market in Beishui?
"Don't talk nonsense. Why don't I accept it? They are unwilling to accept the control of the big man, so I have to punish them severely. Look at those people over there, they obeyed my order, and their work hasn't started yet. I have eaten food for several days in vain."
Feng Yong pointed to the place where the Yi people gathered not far away.
Some of those Yi people are family members of the old Gaoding tribe.
In part, Gao Yuan followed Feng Yong's order and personally came out to find slaves bought by the nearby Yi Rentou people.
Yes, in many Yi tribes, the bottom Yi people are regarded as the private property of the leaders.
Since it is private property, the leader does not mind selling these two-legged animals as long as he can afford the price.
As for the Yi tribes who took the initiative to seek refuge, that’s not to say there weren’t any, but they were all small tribes living close to Qiongdu.
They really had no control over their own destiny. When they saw the Han army entering Qiongdu and heard the Ghost King's order, they were so frightened that they rushed over overnight to avoid being exterminated.
As for the tribes a little further away, they are all waiting and watching with luck.
Feng Yong was not in a hurry. He had three things to do when he took office. Since the Dongqu tribe was the chief culprit, exterminating the Dongqu tribe would be the first thing to do.
Once the fire is lit, I believe they will know what to do.
After hearing Feng Yong's words, Hua Wan looked like he suddenly understood. He nodded repeatedly and asked quietly, "Brother of the Feng family, can you give some of the labor from the Dongqu Department to my little sister in private?"
"Aren't your tribe planning to move here? I heard there are more than 20,000 people there. How big do you plan to open your horse farm?"
Feng Yong heard her words and asked strangely.
"My little sister didn't want it herself, but someone entrusted her to pay a high price for her labor."
"who?"
"One is the Liu family and the other is the Mi family."
Aren't those Liu Liang and Mi Zhao who were forced by the powerful to feed mosquitoes in Nanzhong?
"How much?"
"One of two hundred."
Hua Wan stretched out two fingers and said with a smile.
"How generous!" Feng Yong smiled and said, "Aren't you afraid that I will be angry?"
"Brother is selling labor here, and the base price is only seventy cents per piece, and the highest price is only one hundred cents, no matter how high it is. These two families offered two hundred cents, obviously they are here to make amends to my brother."
"My little sister is just a messenger. If brother is willing to accept it, then my little sister will earn some hard-earned money. If not, then they deserve it. Just pretend that my little sister never said this!"
Liu Liang and Mi Zhao originally belonged to the powerful camp, but they were squeezed out by the powerful. No one was willing to help them find a way out.
I didn't expect that when I went to Nanzhong, I could find the Huawan Road. My sense of smell is really sensitive.
"If they are willing to pay more, of course I am willing to accept it."
The Liu family is okay, but the Mi family are relatives of Adou after all, and Mi Zhao was ordered by the empress to do so.
Besides, now that he and Guan Ji are married, the dignitaries should feel relieved. To be fair, it can be regarded as a good relationship with Adou and the Queen.
"really?"
"I don't even want money from people. Could it be that I'm stupid?"
"Thank you, brother!"
Hua Wan jumped up all of a sudden, her face beaming with joy.
"What benefits did they promise you?"
"It's nothing, I just promised to provide some money and food for my horse farm."
"In that case, then you can count the racecourse as a share of the Mi family. It may be beneficial to your family in the future."
"Brother has said this, so my little sister will naturally obey. Isn't it just that this share should be given to the Mi family, not the Liu family?"
