The land of Bashu was conquered during the period of King Zhaoxiang of Qin and included in the territory of Qin State. In order to facilitate its rule, the State of Qin moved many people and settled in Bashu. Counting the time, it has been about ninety years now.
In Bashu, the Qin State established a Bajun and a Shujun. The situation was very complicated, and it was not an easy place to govern.
There are five major tribes in Bajun and four major tribes in Shujun. These are all well-known tribes in the local area, and each of them can be traced back hundreds or even thousands of years.
There are also a large number of barbarians in the mountains. They recognize the ancient tribes of Bashu, but not the Qin people. The Qin army wants to attack them, but if you dig into the ravines, no matter how many Qin people you enter, they will only die in vain.
The governors of Bajun and Shujun may be the most embarrassing among all the governors of Qin State.
The dilemma is somewhat similar to the complete system of prefectures and counties. The Qin State unified the six countries and set up prefectures and counties all over the world. In fact, the Qin State could not support a complete system of prefectures and counties. Since Yingzheng became the first emperor, he basically went east every one year.
I will patrol until my death on the Eastern Patrol Road. The Eastern Patrol is a means of suppressing forces in various parts of the East, and it only treats the symptoms but not the root cause.
In the two counties of Bashu and Bashu, it is impossible to issue government orders without relying on these local wealthy families. If the county governor wants to complete the targets set by the central government, he must protect the interests of the local wealthy families and maintain local stability. It can be said that this is an absolutely short-lived position.
This is the great granary of the Qin State, and this is one of the largest salt producing areas in the Qin State. Stability is greater than anything else.
Therefore, the governors of Bajun and Shujun have not changed for a long time.
For example, the Zhang family in Shu County. Since King Zhaoxiang of Qin destroyed Shu, Zhang Ruo was appointed as the guardian of Shu. From then on, all the guardians of Shu were descendants of the Zhang family. The Zhang family was based on the Qin people who migrated there, and gradually developed into a large local clan.
There are both conflicts and interests with the four native tribes in Shu County.
The two counties of Bashu and Bashu are said to be in the system of prefectures and counties, but the real situation is that once the central government of Qin declines, the local governors will be fully capable of making choices other than allegiance to the imperial court.
…
With the information provided by the Moon God about the Yin Yang family's movements, Ju Shuang, Ehuang, Bai Feng and Yan have already entered the Bashu land to prepare in advance for the battle that may occur in the near future.
The atmosphere of the team of four people...
Ha, there is no live treasure in the team, and no one likes to joke. In addition, Yan, who joined later, is not familiar with the other three. There is not enough trust in the team yet, and they are very cold along the way.
The road in Sichuan is rugged and difficult to navigate. Fortunately, the four of them are all masters, and their steps are light and graceful, almost ignoring the cliffs at their feet.
Suddenly, Yan, as the leader, stopped.
She kept her feet on the ground, stepped on the rocks and walked a few more steps, then stood on the edge of the cliff, frowning, "Be careful, something is coming."
Um?
Ju Shuang and Ehuang looked at each other and each touched the hilt of the sword at their waist.
Yan's strength is undoubtedly the strongest among the four of them, and she is also the most familiar with Shu. Her reminder made several people instantly alert.
"I seem to have heard it."
Bai Feng said something with unclear meaning, and then with a few taps, his toes landed on the branch of a tree that stretched out on the cliff. The arc of the flowing cloud feather boots pressed down on the branch was very slight.
His shoulder-length hair moved in the wind, his sword-shaped eyebrows and starry eyes became more solemn, and he raised his chin slightly, reminding: "I heard, among countless voices, there was a majestic and high-pitched voice."
Yan held his hands empty, and the golden dragon's air condensed into an arrow. He raised his head and looked up at the sky, "Here we come."
"Yes? That's a bird?" Ehuang saw the black shadow in the sky in the distance and was greatly surprised. "How come there are such a large number of birds, and they seem to..."
Ju Shuang pulled out the Ziyun Sword and took a step forward, half a body ahead of Emperor E. "Be careful, they have the desire to attack humans."
There was a flock of flying birds in the sky, their size was so great that they could not allow a few of them to be careless, because this black cloud was clearly heading straight for the top of the mountain.
As the dark clouds approached, the noisy chirping of birds began to overwhelm everyone. The hearing of experts is not bad. The countless chirpings of birds were put into their ears at the same time, making several people feel unbearable and dizzy.
Especially Bai Feng, he could understand the songs of birds. Such terrifying sounds flooded into his mind, and he felt like his brain was about to explode.
"Hmm~" He groaned and hurriedly mobilized his inner strength to protect his ears and temporarily isolate himself from the screams of thousands of birds outside.
Ju Shuang and the three others also did the same thing, temporarily blocking their hearing.
"Gah~"
"Chirp~"
"Chacha~"
"Ji~"
A flock of birds rushed towards the cliff where the four people were, swooping down amidst the endless noise. Their sharp beaks and hooked claws were countless, and their lethality was no less powerful than an army of thousands of arrows.
hair.
Several people had been prepared and used various methods to protect themselves. Gu Shuang and Ehuang, Ziyun Sword Technique, Yuhua Sword Technique, and their sword energy was continuous and horizontal.
Yan flashed behind the two of them and cast a seal with both hands, "Raise the long arrow and shoot at the wolf."
In an instant, Longyou's energy spread, and there were countless condensed arrows. With Yan's firepower, one man became an army.
Six white shadows shuttled among the suicidal attacks of countless flying birds. The six phoenix dances finally gathered into one person, with the white phoenix falling behind the three. He opened his hand, revealing one of the weak birds.
"Hunting for the king."
King? So, there is a bird king who orders them to attack humans and hunt for food...
Bai Feng understood the meaning of the bird in his hand. As soon as he loosened his hand, he let it fly out.
But the bird turned back again, intending to continue hunting, but was instantly dismembered by the sword energy. The insignificant body fell to the ground. The roots of the broken feathers were hidden deep in the body, and only a blur of flesh and blood remained.
Bai Feng had no time to lament the death of this bird. He immediately condensed his voice into a line and informed several people, "This group of birds has a king, and they are hunting for the king."
"This bird king eats people?" Ehuang was surprised.
Ju Shuang slashed out sword energy in all directions with another sword, nodded and said: "I see, no wonder I thought they were coming straight towards us from the beginning."
"It's hard to get rid of all these birds." Yan commented expressionlessly, with a golden light flashing in his eyes.
The aura of Longyou turned into a golden crow and circled out. With a cry, it shook the mountains. With one move, the bird corpses fell like a shower of stars.
"The sky is filled with purple clouds."
"It's raining heavily."
Emperor Ju Shuang'e also stopped holding back. In a short time, the cliff was covered with the carcasses of dead birds.
"It's coming."
Bai Feng raised his head and stared at the horizon. In another wave of clouds, a huge black shadow spread its wings and screamed, resounding through the blue sky and thick earth!
"That's~"
"唳～ah～"
"In legend, there is a white phoenix named Honghu."
