Chapter 1942 Whose ancestors have never been rich

The actions of the Wu army also aroused the resistance of the Shanyue people in Jian'an County. For thousands of years, the Shanyue people have lived on this land. Although the Han people who moved south continued to erode their territory, the Shanyue people adopted a tolerant attitude and the two sides were always at peace.

Although the Han governments in the past were arduous and constantly occupied the territory of Shanyue people, they would at least not treat Shanyue people as slaves. Shanyue people did not have any deep-rooted concept of territory. Anyway, the mountains here are endless and vast areas, so they can't stay here. It's convenient to change the place again. The Jiangnan area is full of large areas of primeval forests, with many rivers and lakes, and Shanyue people who are used to fishing and hunting can still live more nourishing no matter where they go.

But now it is different. The Wu army not only aims to plunder territory and plunder property. Their goal has become to plunder the population and turn the Shanyue people into their hard-working slaves, and bully them even more.

This move obviously aroused great resistance from the Shanyue people. In the battle with the Wu army, the Shanyue people often fought desperately, but the Wu army adopted various tactics of defeat, specifically choosing tribes with relatively weak strength and sparse population to attack. After the bloody battle, the Wu people often succeeded, which undoubtedly further encouraged the Wu people's arrogance.

Wan Yu succeeded repeatedly and became increasingly arrogant in his actions, but he did not know that the danger had quietly approached him. Although the people of Shanyue were on their own, did not interact or even attacked each other, they could still share the same hatred of the enemy when it comes to major issues involving tribe survival.

Many small tribes were brutally exterminated, and many of them escaped and asked the Zongshen of the large tribe for help.

The Shanyue people in Jian'an County were headed by Hua Qiu and Hong Ji. Hua Qiu was descendant of Huadang. Hong Ji was descendant of Hong Ming. At the end of the Han Dynasty, the southern Shanyue, led by Hong Ming, Hong Jin, Yuan Yu, Wu Dun and Huadang, was the leader of the five major clan generals, and was dominated by the Jian'an counties of Kuaiji. The five major clan generals each led 10,000 households, and the momentum was great. Later, they were pacified by He Qi and most of them surrendered. Only the two tribes of the Hua family and the Hong family were hidden in the deep mountains. Later, some small tribes continued to annex, and gradually became the two major tribes of Jian'an.

This time, Wan Yu was conquering Shanyue, so he naturally wanted to bypass the two major tribes, Hua Qiu and Hong Ji. After all, Liu Ping was quite familiar with the situation of Jian'an Shanyue, so he gave Wan Yu the suggestion that Hua Qiu and Hong Ji's tribes should not provoke Hua Qiu and Hong Ji's tribes. These two tribes are strong and if they are provoked, they will no longer be able to stab the hornet's nest, but I am afraid that Jian'an County will never have any peace again.

For many years, the government of Jian'an County, Wu State, maintained a tacit understanding between Hua Qiu and Hongji's tribes. The government never invaded the territory of the Hua Hong tribes, and the Hua Hong tribes had always disturbed the jurisdiction of the government. Both sides had always been in peace.

Liu Ping told Wan Yu that he could go to conquer some small tribes, but no matter how he could not move the Huahong tribe, Wan Yu dared not disobey Liu Ping's advice. After all, in Jian'an County, he was really unfamiliar with the place of land. All the information and information needed Liu Ping to raise the arch. Even in marching and fighting, he had to rely on the guide sent by Liu Ping. Otherwise, the complex and rugged mountain road would be enough to make Wan Yu's men lost.

But if you don’t fight against the two major tribes of Huahong and only eat small tribes, it is still full of risks. Although there are dozens of Shanyue tribes of all sizes distributed throughout Jian'an County, on the surface, the tribes do not interact with each other, but in fact they are very involved and related. Most of the small tribes also survive with large tribes. Without the support and protection of large tribes, it is indeed difficult for those small and medium-sized tribes to survive.

The main reason why these small tribes are constantly quarreling is that they rely on different backers. The two major tribes of Huahong are located in northern Jian'an and southern Jian'an respectively. For the needs of stability, the two major tribes rarely engage in head-on conflicts, but they often instigate some small and medium-sized tribes to fight and take the opportunity to expand their influence and territory.

This is exactly the cleverness of Hua Qiu and Hong Ji. The cranes and clams fight each other, and the fisherman gains profit. If the two major tribes fight continuously, the only one who benefits in the end will be the government of the Wu Kingdom. Of course, they did not do such a loss-making transaction.

In fact, the Shanyue tribe in the south does not belong to the barbarians like the nomadic Hu people in the north, but is a native Chinese tribe. The predecessor of Shanyue was the Yue Kingdom in the Spring and Autumn Period. It is said that it was one of the eight surnames of Zhurong, with the same roots as the Chu State, and all of them are the Mi surname. The ancestors of Shanyue people were also rich, and there were great figures like Yue King Jujian. The historical allusion of sleeping on firewood and tasting gall has been circulated to this day, becoming the most inspiring example.

However, the Yue Kingdom was eventually a flash in the pan. After Jujian, the Yue Kingdom was soon destroyed by the Chu Kingdom, and a large number of Yue people's descendants fled to the mountains to avoid the war.

In fact, the composition of Shanyue is quite complex. In addition to the descendants of the Yue people, they also combined Baiyue and refugees who fled from the north, gathered in the mountains and forests to fight against the government, which became one of the most unstable factors in the south since the Qin and Han Dynasties.

Many Shanyue people even have the dream of restoring the country, hoping to recreate the glory of the Yue King Jujian era.

Hua Qiu obviously had such thoughts. As the largest tribe in Shanyue in Jian'an and the most powerful tribe among the tribes in Shanyue in the south, Hua Qiu was very memorialized and obsessed with the country of Yue, which was once glorious hundreds of years ago. As a descendant of King Jujian of Yue, he really wanted to recreate this glory.

However, the power of Wu State could not make him afraid of it. Of course, when He Qi conquered the Shanyue tribes, he killed the most powerful Hong tribes among the five tribes of Shanyue. The other tribes had to surrender to the Wu State. After ceding the territory, the two sides stopped fighting.

After decades of rest and recuperation, the Huaqiu tribe gradually became stronger. However, given the strength of Wu, Huaqiu still dared not act rashly. However, Huaqiu also received news recently that Wu was defeated by Wei and had to move from Jianye to Jian'an.

Now that the Lord Wu, Sun Hao, has arrived in Jian'an, has imposed heavy taxes and slaughtered the people, causing the world to be angry and resentful. This makes Huaqiu secretly moved. Could it be that the opportunity to revive Yue Kingdom has come?

Sun Hao didn't know what he was restraining. Not only did he exploit the people under his rule, but he also sent troops to invade the Shanyue tribe countless times, robbed property, and captured the population. All the small tribes that depended on the Huachou tribe were destroyed. They asked Huachou for help. How could Huachou stand by?
