Chapter 1941: Conquering the Mountains and Going Down)

Jianye cannot go back, but Jian'an is not bad either. If you are safe, you can make a living. It is impossible to make a fortune. It is not good to seek a safe life. Anyway, Jianye and Jian'an are just a word of wrong. It is also good to make this place a careless capital.

Wan Yu did not dare to resist his orders, so he had to lead his troops to fight and go to the mountains to conquer Shanyue.

This expedition and suppression of Shanyue is a difficult task. Most of the places where Shanyue people live are in deep mountains and forests. The terrain is dangerous and the roads are rugged. Thinking back to the beginning, the Wu court spent a lot of effort to clear out Danyang Shanyue in the mountains near Jianye, and finally Zhuge Ke managed it.

Of course, these barbarians would not be allowed to snore on the side of the bed. Since Sun Quan moved the capital to Jianye, he has been committed to clearing out the Shanyue people in Danyang. However, for many years of war, the results have been very little. The Shanyue people are fierce, and the Danyang soldiers recruited from the Shanyue people have always been known as the brave and fierce Shanyue people. If they refuse to surrender, it will be difficult to conquer them.

Wan Yu had only achieved Wu Chengling, a civil servant in the past. It was because he had a good relationship with Sun Hao and had close friends that after Sun Hao ascended the throne, he became the Zuo Dian Army and commanded the imperial guards. Although he had military power, in terms of his military talent, Wan Yu knew very well that he was really not a leader. Not to mention Zhuge Ke, he might not even be as good as ordinary generals.

Sun Hao's move is completely like to drive the ducks on the shelves, and he has to go even if he doesn't.

Wan Yu knew Sun Hao's character very well. Although he was Sun Hao's confidant, Sun Hao favored him and gave him great power of military power. But Wan Yu knew very well that if Sun Hao was unhappy, he would not care about his confidant or confidant. If he said something wrong, it would be a loss of mind. Zhang Bu and Puyang Xing made great contributions to Sun Hao's succession. However, Sun Hao not only did not be grateful to him, but instead wiped out the two of them. It can be seen that once they violated Sun Hao's wishes, they would be as tragic as possible.

Therefore, Wan Yu did not dare to disobey Sun Hao's will at all. Even if he was unwilling to do so, he would not dare to show his slightest bit on his face. He had to pretend to be generous and swear to tell Sun Hao that he would fulfill his mission.

Wan Yu is particularly proficient in flattery, so he is like a fish in water by Sun Hao. But when it comes to war, he will be in darkness. Wu has rarely won a great victory in many years, except for Zhuge Ke.

Can Wan Yu compare with Zhuge Ke? Although Zhuge Ke died in court disputes, when it comes to military talent, in Eastern Wu, only Zhou Yu and Lu Xun can compare with him, and Wan Yu is incomparable.

But even if it is not as good as Wan Yu takes over Sun Hao's job, he still has to fight. But if Wan Yu really wants to command the battle, it will probably be even more uncomfortable than killing him.

Wan Yu had no choice but to gather all the generals under the tent, gather ideas, and let everyone think of a solution together.

When Sun Hao moved the capital from Kuaiji, there were about 30,000 to 40,000 people, but along the way, there were many fugitives, and those who died of hunger, cold and sickness, only more than 10,000 people were left after arriving in Jian'an. Moreover, the quality of the more than 10,000 troops was uneven, and the quality of the personnel was difficult to distinguish between good and bad, and veterans and new soldiers were mixed, so the combat effectiveness was imagined.

No one could have any hope when using such an army to fight against Shanyue people who are known for their bravery and toughness. So when Wan Yu asked for advice, the generals were all hung their heads and frowning.

It was Shao Qing, who joined the army, who had an idea for Wan Yu. The Shanyue people in Jian'an County lived in a relatively scattered place and were far apart from each other. They gathered with tribes, including large tribes and small tribes. With the current strength of the Wu army, it would definitely not work to provoke those large tribes. Only bypassing those large tribes and attacking some small tribes can there be hope of victory. Anyway, His Majesty Master Wu needs to catch some Shanyue people to act as coolies to build a palace. The Wu army does not have to defeat all the Shanyue people. He only needs to catch some people to solve the problem.

When Wan Yu heard this, it made sense. If he really asked him to bring 10,000 troops to wipe out 10,000 Shanyue people, it would be purely a hit of stones with eggs. But if he only encircled and suppressed some small tribes and captured thousands of Shanyue people as slaves, he would be very sure.

Since he had confirmed the direction of his march, Wan Yu led the Wu army to set off. First of all, he found a lot of guides, all of whom were ordinary people living in this area, mostly hunters and woodcutters. They often entered the mountains and were more familiar with the situation of the Shanyue people in the mountains.

Wan Yu carefully inquired and marked the situation of each tribe of the Shanyue people in detail on the map. Those tribes cannot be provoked. Those tribes can try to fight, and those tribes must be taken down. Wan Yu distinguished them.

Now Wan Yu is an old lady eating persimmons - he specializes in picking up soft pinch. After he sent troops, he specializes in picking up small tribes. These small tribes usually only have a few hundred or thousands of people. After Wan Yu led his army to surround the Shanyue people's village, he first called for them to surrender.

Most of the people of Shanyue were rebellious and ignored the Wu army's surrender. Wan Yu had no choice but to launch a strong attack.

Although these villages were small and had few people, the Shanyue people fought very tenaciously. The Wu army also spent a lot of effort to break through the first village and captured hundreds of people. Many Shanyue people would rather die than surrender, and died with the Wu army.

This was undoubtedly an unfavorable deal. Wu Jun paid about seven or eight hundred casualties and finally captured five or six hundred Shanyue people, which was a loss to his grandma's house.

Wan Yu couldn't help but lament that if you do such a loss-making business, if you fight over 10,000 people in the Wu army, you may not be able to get 10,000 Shanyue Nulu. I really don't know what the meaning of this battle is.

When the first batch of Shanyue slaves were sent to Jian'an City, Sun Hao was very happy and appointed Wan Yu as the general, asking him to continue his efforts and strive to capture more Shanyue slaves, so that the coolies who built the palace would be able to be settled.

Wan Yu had no choice but to continue to conquer those large Shanyue tribes with tens of thousands of people, and he would never dare to provoke them. He could only pick up some small and medium-sized tribes to take action. For several months, Wan Yu was wandering in the deep mountains, continuously taking down more than a dozen Shanyue people's villages and capturing thousands of Shanyue slaves.

After doing this kind of thing too much, Wan Yu became more aware of it. He felt that Shanyue people were just like this, and gradually became more courageous and began to attack some medium-sized tribes.
