The invasion of Lizhou Meishan barbarians made Yang Shifan very angry.

First, Lizhou is an important fulcrum of the Sichuan-Tea Ancient Road. Meishan Barbarian, who has always been prudent, ignored the rules, which frightened the merchants on this ancient road. Moreover, he had thousands of Wuping troops under his command, and the commercial tax occupies an entire area.

For the most part, he can't help but be angry, because this has shaken his foundation.

Both of them, as the military commander of the Wuping Army, he was responsible for the chaos under his rule. Not long after he took office, Yang Shifan was cautious about everything, for fear of making a mistake and being kicked off. His thousands of people were no match for tens of thousands of troops.

.

"In the whole of Lizhou, only Meishan Man has such courage!" Yang Shifan frowned and asked carefully: "Are you sure it's Meishan Man?"

"Envoy, I have confirmed that it is correct. The people of Lizhou know everything about the Meishan barbarians, and they naturally know them. We have asked several places, and they all say that they are the style of the Meishan barbarians!"

The personal guards sent out naturally conducted meticulous inspections, and the conclusion they came to made Yang Shifan even more angry:

"Okay! The Meishan barbarians are ignorant and have invaded the people of Lizhou. Their sin is unforgivable. Let's issue our Jiedu Order and hold them accountable, and then organize a large army to prepare to wipe out this group of barbarians. How dare they be so audacious and ignorant of the king's kindness!

"

"In addition, I sent someone to Changsha Prefecture to ask for troops. I said that the Meishan barbarians were deceived and rebelled against the country and caused chaos for the people. The Wuping army had few major generals and needed support from the imperial court!"

Anhua, Xinhua, Hunan, was the place where the "Meishan barbarians" lived in ancient times. During the Han Dynasty, it was an area on the border of Zhaoling County in Yiyang. At that time, this area was filled with deep mountains, dense forests, deep valleys, deep streams and caves, and was almost isolated from the outside world.

According to legend, the residents here are descendants of Panhu (namely Pangu, "Pangu" is the pronunciation of "Panhu"). Historical records of the past dynasties have different names for them. They were called "Jingman" during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and "Changsha" during the Han Dynasty.

"Barbarians" were called "Mo corvee" in the Sui Dynasty and "Meishan Barbarians" in the Tang Dynasty.

"Meishan Barbarians" are divided into ten caves, and the leader is called "Leader of Zuojia", "Leader of Youjia", or "Lord of the Cave", "Chang of the Cave", etc.

Dong people have surnames such as Fusu, Xianglan, Qing, Zhaobu, etc. There are also foreign surnames who moved to Meishan to escape the war, such as Chen, Zou, Liuluo, etc.

Because they have accepted the Han people and have seen and learned farming knowledge, the Meishan barbarians are no longer an ordinary mix of barbarians and barbarians, and the barbarians have a certain degree of Chineseization. They cannot figure out the attitude of the Han people, and they basically belong to the type of non-interference.

.

In the words of the imperial court, Meishan barbarians belong between mature barbarians and raw barbarians. If they are cared for for a while, they can turn into mature barbarians and accept the rule of the imperial court.

Lizhou is located on the banks of the Lishui River, bordering Nanping to the north, Langzhou to the south, and Dongting Lake to the east. It also has the Liyang Plain, the largest plain in Hunan, which has always been known as a granary. Meishan Man often exchanged grain with the Han people, so naturally

This is crystal clear.

Meishan, the holy land of Meishan barbarians, is located among various caves and has a sacred status.

"We have a conflict with the Han people. What should we do if the army comes to encircle and suppress us? Some caves have evil intentions and want to drag us into trouble!"

The threat of the Wuping Army Jiedushi quickly spread to the Meishan barbarians. At the Shidong Conference, a certain cave owner said angrily: "Now many cave people have gone down the mountain. Han people generally work in the fields. If we offend the Han court, we will

I have to be driven back to the mountains again, how can I live a better life?"

"Yes! We have lived in peace with the Han people for decades and have lived a good life. Some people ignore the interests of our Meishan barbarians just for a little money. We must not be lenient!"

"Hmph! When have we ever been afraid of the Han people? The mountains are our world. Meishan has ten caves. It doesn't matter. If the Han people send troops, they can just hide in the mountains!"

As soon as they entered the meeting, Fu Guangliang, the leader of Zuojia, started shouting loudly. His strong and powerful voice directly caused the cave owners present to silence their voices.

The Meishan barbarians are headed by the leader Zuojia and the leader Youjia, followed by the Dongtong masters, and then the tribes of each surname. Although the cave masters have a noble position, they are still no match for the Zuojia leader.

Fu Guangliang was tall, with a high nose and long hair. He looked particularly powerful. His arrival made the criticism disappear instantly. Fu's strength was frightening.

"Why, the Fu family invaded the Han people and made our Meishan Mangeldong bear the responsibility, and leader Zuojia is still confident? Please note, this is Meishan, not your cave!"

At this time, the man who also belonged to Kong Wu's powerful type spoke out in rebuttal, like a huge wave stirred up in the calm water. All the cave owners were shocked for a moment. They saw that because of the leader Youjia, he was the only one among the Meishan barbarians who dared to

This directly refutes Fushi.

"Su Xiangyang, are you ready to surrender to the Han court? You have always spoken for the Han people!" Fu Guangliang snorted coldly and said in a sinister tone.

"Bah! Fu Guangliang, our Su family has been the Youjia leader of Meishan for generations. When did we betray Meishan? But you Fu family, you don't know whose family's money you collected, and you have a calculation in your mind to use our Meishan Shidong.

, for the benefit of Fushi!"

Su Xiangyang stood up directly and yelled angrily: "Hurry up and tell me all your conspiracies. We are on Meishan and have nothing to hide."

"Not long ago, a group of Han people boarded your cave, don't think we don't know about it!"

"Since we are on Meishan Mountain, I have nothing to hide!" Looking at the probing and dissatisfied eyes of the cave masters, Fu Guangliang waved his hands with a smile and said:

"We Meishan barbarians, Shidong, hundreds of clans, the Dong people can't count them. There are fewer and fewer wild animals in the mountains, and the little cubs in the cave can hardly fill their stomachs. Although we have cultivated some land, but where

Comparable to the fields at the foot of the mountain, one acre of the Han people's land is worth ten of ours, and they also raise cattle, sheep, chickens, etc. If we can get it, we will be very happy!"

"A group of Han people came to our cave before. As long as we are willing to raise troops, the fields in Lizhou will be ours!"

"Hmph, do you believe what a group of Han Chinese with unknown origins say? Raise an army? Are the thousands of elite soldiers of Han'er in Langzhou City vegetarian?"

Su Xiangyang stared at Fu Guangliang and said loudly, "I think you just want us Meishan Dongdong people to suffer countless casualties and Han'er's army is countless. This will bring about the disaster of genocide!"

"The reason why the Han people are so powerful is because they have iron tools!" Fu Guangliang said confidently:

"Those Han people said that as long as we are willing to raise an army, they are willing to give us thousands of iron spears and many long knives. When the time comes to use these iron tools, will they still be afraid of the Han people?"
