Three Kingdoms

The sun hung lazily in the west, and it was still early to completely set. (Due to caching reasons, please visit the COM website directly with your browser to watch the fastest chapter updates)

And this area of ​​the mountain was already full of sounds of fighting.

Perhaps there is no other kind of creature that is so keen on killing its own kind. Even if they are some distance away, they have to close the distance to catch up and kill them.

Hundreds of people from both sides were scattered on the rocks in the mountains and forests, and the battle line... well, maybe there was no battle line at all. There was fighting over there, and that was the battle line. Broken blood was everywhere, human life was as lowly as ants, and blood filled the restless air.

For these indigenous people living in the mountains of Sichuan and Sichuan, this kind of fighting happens from time to time. The smaller the territory, the easier it is for conflicts to occur. Even in a relatively civilized era, in later generations Sichuan, Shu, Yunnan and Guizhou In this area, such conflicts between cottages still inevitably occur, and then they hold various forks, rakes, etc. against each other. Old and young men join in the battle, and the blood will not stop.

In the Han Dynasty, this kind of fighting between copycats is the norm.

Personal grievances, water rationing, mountain and forest divisions, anything can become a reason for fighting with each other. Generally speaking, there are not many rules for fighting with weapons like this. Some of them are similar to the ancient Spring and Autumn Period, where they formed a line to talk to each other for a while. Some of them didn't even bother to use their words at all. They didn't say hello and just went up. There was a melee until one party was killed and collapsed...

It's the same today. There will be no injured on either side, only the living and the dead. Even for the victorious side, it is difficult for the injured to survive these days.

"Kill!" 』

"Leave your life behind!" 』

"Tear out their hearts and livers and eat them!" 』

"Ahhhh..."

Crazy roars, crazy movements.

Cannibalism is actually not a big deal to the people in these cottages.

Only when civilization reaches a certain level, people will not eat people at will, but should add various packaging and use novel cooking methods. Eating them raw will be despised.

These Ba people in Sichuan and Sichuan have obviously not evolved to this level. They think it is good to eat them raw.

At most, use some sauce.

So both sides seemed very cruel and crazy when they first met, because everyone knew that death and defeat were equivalent to being eaten by the other party. If you didn't want to be eaten by the other party, you could only kill the other party.

It is precisely because of this that many feudal dynasties in later generations were reluctant to attack Sichuan, Sichuan, Yunnan and Guizhou and other places, because in this exciting atmosphere, these natives were crazy and would really eat people if they said they could. People will even dig open the chest and abdomen of their opponents on the battlefield, then grab them out and bite them.

If it were the fierce soldiers who had seen blood in the founding of the Central Plains, it would be okay. If it had been passed down for several generations, the county soldiers who could only bully the common people on weekdays suddenly saw such a situation, even if they were just slashed once or twice. , will also be frightened out of fear, and immediately run away across the mountains and plains, not wanting to fight this kind of opponent head-on.

The cry of killing tore through the tranquility of the mountain forest.

A group of fanatical Ba people roared and rushed down the mountainside, not slowing down at all between the bushes and rocks. Some people accidentally stepped on the air when crossing the rocks, and rolled down screaming, but The other Ba people did not even take a second glance, but quickly rushed towards the queue of Zhu Huan and others who were relatively low in position.

Amid the whistling sound, blood and limbs began to fly.

Screams and shouts echoed among the mountains and trees, and the sparks from the intersection of weapons seemed to ignite the bestiality of both sides.

On the mountainside and on the few flat areas in the valley, there are groups of people fighting fiercely with each other.

Some were strong and powerful, wielding heavy maces, while others were as dexterous as monkeys, jumping back and forth all the time.

A little above the valley, Zhu Huan and his men waved their sabers and cooperated with their companions to turn the charging Ba people into corpses and stay here forever. At the same time, the soldiers who had been scattered began to slowly gather. stand up. These Zhu Huan's private soldiers may not be exquisite in their swordsmanship and spear skills, but they are more practical than others, and they are very precise with few flaws.

More Basheba people rushed up, and sometimes a dozen of them bumped into Zhu Huan at the same time, but they were all blocked by Zhu Huan's guards. The shields were raised, the spears were stabbed and retracted, and they were all blocked. These body piercings were followed by a second round of thrusts.

The man with Ba Snake curled up behind the shield, jumped up fiercely and hit the shield of Zhu Huan's guard. He wanted to break through the formation of Zhu Huan and others, and then rushed in to kill indiscriminately. However, this originally meant that the copycat fight would be invincible. The move now seemed like hitting an iron plate. Not only did it fail to knock away Zhu Huan's sword and shield hand, but he fell back, and also tripped several other Ba people...

Behind Zhu Huan is Bafu, the Ba man who represents the white tiger.

He held a pole and drew an abstract white tiger battle flag, with an extremely arrogant color on his face, as if it was a sign of danger in the forest, or a poisonous insect, and he kept shouting curses. He looked like a natural taunt, leading batch after batch of Basheba people to attack him.

This time, Buff himself brought seven to eight hundred warriors, which was almost half of his clan's combat strength, and the other five or six hundred people were warriors from other tribes that Baff had blended with him.

The Ba people, Ba Snake and White Tiger are mortal enemies.

In the entire Bashan, not everyone resists Bafu's White Tiger's Bar. After all, even if there is any grudge, it happened several generations or even more than ten generations ago. However, the Ba people who believe in Ba Snake, They still more or less remember the training they received back then, and still regard shooting the white tiger as their lifelong goal.

Conflicts inevitably arise, and conflicts are resolved with fists and knives.

The two parties agreed on a location and collided with each other to decide the winner.

Blood keeps blooming, splashing, and gushing out, and people often die before they fall.

In the chaotic array of both sides, some of the White Tiger Ba people were silent, gathering together, and cooperating with each other like stones in the water. No matter how the Bashan Ba ​​Snake people attacked, they still stood firm, and they also moved forward. Along with the other Baihuba people, they also maintained the front firmly.

This is actually a bit weird...

However, the Ba Snake people, who were affected by their emotions and only knew how to kill, kill, kill, were not keenly aware of anything unusual. They were still howling and attacking randomly.

If it were an ordinary copycat fight, it would always be a mess, and even the back would be full of criss-crossing. No one knew whether there were more people around the opponent or more people around them. But now, although the array is still a little uneven, Generally speaking, a limit has been maintained, and the key point is that the Ba Snake people screamed, but the White Tiger side, especially the Jiangdong soldiers near Zhu Huan who were dressed like Ba people, were silent, like Pieces of stones.

In such a fight, there are always people who can't help but yell, vent or express their emotions. Although shouting loudly will actually consume some people's strength and even cause breathing disorders, many people will feel that Such shouts can encourage oneself or intimidate opponents, but in fact, except for some extremely talented people...

Master Zhang: "Huh?" 』

Most of the ordinary people's shouts are of no use except to embolden themselves, and if there are too many voices, they will not be able to hear the orders in the army. Therefore, ordinary soldiers can only Except for shouting subconsciously when the dog is young, it will not bark randomly at other times.

There are also veterans who have experienced life and death many times. They will even subconsciously keep every bit of their energy in fighting and are not willing to waste it easily. They are not even willing to open their mouths to breathe, because breathing with their mouths open is not only useful. It may cause dryness and discomfort in the throat, leading to coughing, and you may also inhale some floating objects and splashes...

A cough cost him his life. On the battlefield, veterans have seen this kind of thing too often, so they are naturally very careful.

Therefore, when Zhu Huan led these Jiangdong soldiers, they basically did not make any sound during the fight with the Bashan Bashe people. They were like mutes, completely different from the surrounding Baihu Bashe people.

The people of Bashe looked very powerful, but in fact the effect was very poor, and regardless of how loud they screamed, the ones who screamed and died were also very loud. Battle formations are not like the games of later generations. There is a sign above the head. It is convenient to circle yourself. In fact, when hundreds of people gather together, it is necessary to distinguish who is who. In fact, it is all A difficult thing.

So at the beginning, the people in Bashe didn't find anything wrong.

The Ba Snake people surged forward, shouting fervently, but the first group of people fell down as soon as they fought, either maimed or fatally injured. The screams were wrapped up in the shouting, but the people behind didn't see it and were still rushing towards him crazily.

In fact, the personal martial arts of the Ba Sheba people may not be bad, but these Ba people have not yet fully adapted to the battlefield. They were still fighting according to the custom of fighting between cottages, so naturally they suffered a big loss.

On the battlefield, hundreds of thousands of people will form a huge array. During an attack, there will be people in front, behind, left, right and right. There is no room to move in any direction except forward. Whether the stabbing is stable or not, whether this knife or shot can kill the opponent is the only criterion for survival.

So there are no fancy gestures, just straight forward. The Ba She people howled and jumped around randomly. Ordinary soldiers might be in a hurry, but for these Zhu Huan's private soldiers, it was not easy to use at all. The one who jumped around didn't chase at all, he just waited for the opponent to collide with his array, and then the one with the shield withstood the first round of the opponent's attack, and then stabbed him with his spear on both sides, and that was it. A person can be killed in a few breaths.

"Who is that person?" ” The leader of Bashan Bashan frowned.

Because Zhu Huan did not display his flag, he even wore a rag shirt similar to that of the Ba people outside the armor to cover it up.

It's just that without fighting, the iron pieces under the rag shirt were soon exposed, and under the shining of the setting sun, they shone with a different kind of light...

Ba Fu laughed wildly next to Zhu Huan. He felt that the victory was already certain. He even wanted to step forward and fight in person several times, but was stopped by Zhu Huan. "No, you are the noble Ba Fu. How can you venture into danger?" Just let us do these little things! 』

When Zhu Huan said this, Buff immediately felt very comfortable, "This...how can this be so embarrassing?" 』

"We are friends, aren't we? Zhu Huan smiled very kindly, "If we are friends, we don't need to worry so much." 』

Buff laughed loudly, "Okay!" good! friend! 』

Zhu Huan didn't really care about Bafu's life or death, but only Bafu knew the secret mountain road into Sichuan.

Buff cannot die until he fully understands this mountain road.

Therefore, Zhu Huan and others deliberately pretended to be Bav's relatives' guards.

To be honest, the situation in Bashan is too chaotic.

The so-called Bashan is not a single peak, but a large, continuous mountain.

The land here is barren, the people are fierce, and desperadoes are emerging in endless streams. If the Ba people can be used, it will of course be a new force, but the difficulty is also very high. Because it is difficult for the Ba people to have any discipline and they are arrogant all day long. These people are of course very good against ordinary soldiers or ordinary people, but they are a little numb when facing slightly stronger elites.

In fact, they are similar to the nomads. When the Central Plains were strong, they were beaten so hard that they dared not even fart. But when the Central Plains became weak, they were beaten to the point of losing their shit.

Therefore, Zhu Huan did not use his own banner at all. He always used it in the name of Bav. Although raising the banner could indeed show Jiangdong's majesty, what happened next?

If Ba She and the others are allowed to hide in the mountains, anywhere they can hide, how will they find them then?

Bribing and recruiting can be done on a small scale, but it becomes difficult when there are more people, because in the mountains, money and other things are actually minor issues, and the most troublesome thing is food.

If we use the name of Jiangdong and raise the banner of Jiangdong, it is indeed possible that some people from Bashan will switch sides, but if we really do this, let alone whether it is difficult or not, if we want people to work, we must give them. Money and food are all, and raising hundreds or even thousands is not a big problem, but raising thousands or tens of thousands and sending them to this mountaintop or valley in Bashan is not that simple.

If you let the Ba people go out to get it by themselves, not to mention the time wasted by going back and forth, what if the Ba people took the money and food and regretted it? There are so many mountains, and the Ba people all have their faces and bodies painted. For Jiangdong, who can know who took the money and food and who didn't?

These are all questions.

Suppose there is a person, or a leader of a force, who can unify the Bashan Ba ​​people without Jiangdong having to contribute more money or food, or only need to contribute a share, then there is no doubt that the Ba people will immediately change from being abandoned by everyone to being respected by everyone. People love.

Although there are no important passes or rich products in Bashan, after unification, it is equivalent to extending tentacles into Sichuan and Shu. The Ba people can appear anywhere in Sichuan and Shu, as long as the Ba people are encouraged The Sichuan and Sichuan hussars are fighting, and as the battle continues, the hatred between the Ba and the Sichuan and Sichuan hussars will inevitably become deeper and deeper. In the end, even without Jiangdong's provocation, they will automatically harass and assassinate. To stir up trouble...

For this reason, in Zhu Huan's original reported strategy, he emphasized that Bashan was a contested land.

You don’t have to invest much, but you must not let the other party succeed.

Provoke the fight in Bashan and support Bafu. In the process, he shows Jiangdong's kindness, and at the same time gathers the strongest people in Bashan to become the de facto ruler of this place.

This is the most ideal result.

If it cannot be done, then let Bashan fall into a sea of ​​blood...

This strategy is actually quite dark, but very practical.

This is not Zhu Huan's first initiative. After all, the Han Dynasty had done this before when developing Lingnan.

Bashan, Baiyue and other areas may look like a large area with a large number of people, but in fact they are just a piece of scattered sand. It is easy for anyone to reach out, but the main trouble is to provide supplies, provide assistance, and often... There was no output for a long time.

And what is even more speechless is that even if a new force is established, it may not be half a year before the leader of this force is beheaded by his subordinates or enemies, and some even fall ill and die, and he is bitten to death by wild beasts while hunting, etc. There are all kinds of reasons, which cause the initial investment to be wasted instantly.

For those who want to support agents, such a situation is really confusing and beyond words.

Therefore, Zhu Huan would rather guard Bafu closely than let Bafu go into battle.

That is to say, they are afraid that the previous investment will be in vain.

The more people Ba She killed, the worse the situation became. This was all because the leader of Ba She failed to respond immediately. As a result, the killings in the mountains gradually turned into the opponent's advantage. , as the sun set, his men died one by one. Even the slowest one began to realize that something was wrong. He understood and let out an angry roar...

"White tiger!" traitor! Collusion with outsiders! 』

"It was agreed that it would be a fight between Ba people!" But you seduced an outsider! 』

"traitor! You have betrayed the gods! 』

"..."

Some of Ba She's people began to retreat, while the other part roared towards Ba Fu angrily and launched a suicide attack.

Listening to the scolding and scolding of Ba She's people, and looking at the splattered blood, Bafu sneered, not thinking that he had done anything wrong. He feels that he can win the support of Jiangdong people, that is his ability. It is so ugly to say that he is an outsider but not an outsider. Only those who have no ability are just making nonsense. The rich one is the father! You have to call me daddy to be kind!

"Ah, General, what shall we do next?" "Bafu now obeys Zhu Huan's advice.

"They continued to do this before they fully discovered it. ” Zhu Huan signaled his soldiers to surround them and slaughter all the remaining Ba Snake people. He said to Ba Fu, “If you send people to the mountains again, those tribes who are unwilling to listen to you will be like today. Let them duel...then the rest of Bashan will obey you, right? 』

"clear! ” Barf grinned widely, “I’ll send someone right away! Find more copycats! 』
