In the past few days, Deng Zhi led two thousand red armored guards to trek through the deep mountains and old forests, and took the road to the southwest. At first, it was easy to move along the Youshui River and the river beach, and the terrain was relatively flat.Going deep into the Wuling Mountains, the terrain is gradually rugged and the road is difficult.

Fortunately, for more than a year, Deng Zhi often sent people in and out of the Wuling Mountains. He drew a map and asked Su Gu to be the vanguard to cut roads in the dense forest to facilitate the passage of the army;

Finally, after several days of traveling, following the marks and traces left by the Youximan along the way, he finally arrived at the Youximan's camp by following the path, and at this time the military archers were not far from the Youximan's camp.

With the help of the guide Qin Pu, Deng Zhi's department finally got in touch with Qin Junjian, the barbarian husband of Youxi.

Deng Zhi left the troops to set up camp, and after resting on the spot, he led a hundred of his personal guards to the barbarian camp in Youxi.

The fine husband Qin Junjian smiled happily and went out of the village to welcome Deng Zhi's troops.

There are five common surnames in Wuxi Man, Ba, Fan, Qin, Xiang, and Zheng. Xiang was later changed to Xiang.The ancestors of the leaders of the five surnames all came from Badi.In the Spring and Autumn Period of the past, Chu destroyed Ba, and five Bazi brothers fled to Guizhou.Each is the length of one stream, so it is named Wuxi.

When Lao Liu attacked Jingzhou, Fan Ni, who was engaged in Wuling, raised troops to fight with him, and Fan Ni was a member of the Han family of the Fan family in Wuxi Man.

At the peak of the Youxi Barbarian Qin clan, there were 4000 warriors and [-] people.Today, there are only more than [-] people in the decline of Weimin, and there are no more than three to [-] people who can fight.Under Soochow's many years of attack, there were only more than [-] soldiers left, and most of the tribesmen were old, weak, women and children.Now facing the helping hand extended by the big man, Tan Junjian grabbed it without hesitation.

But a lean camel is bigger than a horse, and the Youximan Qin family has close ties with the Jingzhou barbarians, often marrying, and taking down the Youximan family, even though the big man is separated from the Wuling Mountains, he can still know the news of southern Jingzhou.

That's why Deng Zhi knew that he couldn't treat the Youxi barbarians as usual, so he hurried forward to meet them.The visitor was in his thirties, slightly short in height, but with a strong physique and a firm gaze. The current Youxi barbarian husband, Qin Junjian.

Jingfu means leader in the Ba language. When the Bazi brothers entered Guizhou, they called themselves the leader of Badi. Therefore, all Wuxi barbarians called the leader Jingfu.

Deng Zhi showed a smile on his face, lifted his right hand from the sword, cupped his hands and said: "Tan Jingfu has worked hard, Zhi is late!"

Qin Junjian stepped forward to return the salute, and said hastily: "Thank you, Commander Deng, for your tireless efforts to cross the mountains and rescue our troops. I am very grateful."

With that said, Qin Junjian welcomed Deng Zhi into the camp.Deng Zhi observed the barbarian camp in Youxi along the way.

There are almost no defensive measures outside the camp, the only defensive facility is a simple wall made of wooden roots, it is hard to say what kind of defense it can provide.However, the vigilance was quite strong during the period, and people were stationed on the mountain road and dense forest.

After arriving at the camp, Deng Zhi frowned slightly as she looked at the chaotic and disorderly interior. All kinds of thatched sheds were piled up wantonly, and the haystacks were very close to the firepit, and there was no fire prevention measures at all.Wounded savages lay wailing in straw huts, where wizards cast spells and salutes, then consumed them with pungent herbs.

The morale of the men, women and children in the camp was low, and they seemed to have no hope.The tribe is slouchy and shows no sign of discipline.In less than a year, Wuxi Man was beaten like this by Soochow.

The two walked into the simple tent, Qin Junjian forced a smile and said, "Deng Dudu laughed."

Deng Zhi waved his hand and said understandingly: "It's nothing, your department has suffered serious losses, and under Wu Jun's pursuit, it is not easy to have such a situation."

Qin Junjian sighed, and said listlessly: "Wu Guo's army is behind, I don't know how the governor plans to deal with it?"

Deng Zhi pondered for a while, and said confidently: "Tan Jingfu, don't worry, Wu soldiers are not to be feared. Tomorrow your department will set off from Wuling Mountain and enter Fuling County. Among them, there are my big Han soldiers stationed in the valley. When we arrive at the county, Wang Guoshan (Wang Fu), deputy governor of Jingzhou and prefect of Fuling, will settle down your Ministry."

Qin Junjian blinked, and asked cunningly: "Deng Dudu, I wonder if the promise last year is still the same."

Deng Zhi pointed the case lightly with his index finger for a while, then said lightly: "Last year, the promise remains unchanged. I, a big man, set up a Dao in your ministry, governed by the "Law of the Country", and Qin Jingfu is the Daohou. The big man does not collect land rent, but only needs to go out of the household. The cloth is one zhang. The big man can recruit soldiers to use in battle, but there are also gifts."

This condition is basically to establish a vassal state within the Han Dynasty. The Han Dynasty does not directly govern the Youxi Man, but governs the Youxi Man through the jurisdiction of Qin Junjian. The rewards given have to be said to be generous.

After all, Soochow was planning to incorporate the Wuxi barbarian captives into military households, and Tan Junjian, as a fine husband, was about to lose all his rights, so facing the tempting offer from the big man, he naturally agreed.

As for governing it with the "Laws of the Country", there are a lot of tricks in it. Although the big Han does not directly govern the Youxi Man, he can use various authority to intervene in the government affairs of Daozhong.One of the most critical ones is that no matter whether it is a state girl or a state man who combines with a Han, the offspring must be a man.

Most of the common surnames in Badi, Yizhou can be traced back to their ancestors, most of whom were Shaomin. Basically, the powerful people in the tribe combined with Han women to give birth to a man.

For example: The Gou family in Badi is like this. The ancestors of Jufu were powerful people in the tribe of the Jin people. They married a Han woman, and their son was registered as a Han nationality.After decades of Sinicization, when it was passed to Jufu, it was completely Han Chinese.

After a pause, Deng Zhi looked at Tan Junjian and said, "The premise of this statement is that Tan Jingfu must help the big man to move Chenximan into Han."

Qin Junjian was overjoyed, cupped his hands and said, "Please rest assured, Governor Deng, Junjian will do his best to help the big man."

Chenxi is below the Youshui River, in the southwest corner of Wuling.The Chenxi barbarians are one of the five barbarians. They live among the Chenxi barbarians and are the majority of the Chenxi barbarians.It is not far from Deng Zhi and others. Compared with Youximan and other barbarians who are being hunted down, Chenximan is undoubtedly lucky.Those who lived in the southwest corner were less affected.

However, in the face of Lu Dai and Bu Zhi's attack from north to south, and gradually approaching the interior of Wuling, Chenximan couldn't resist.Facing the big man's helping hand, Chen Ximan also accepted it, but he still hesitated, unlike You Ximan who was firm.

Deng Zhi smiled slightly, but she was thinking about the population of Chenxi Man in her heart.

Compared with the tribes of the other four rivers, Chenxi is a tributary of Yuanxi, so the population living here is the smallest.According to Qin Junjian, the population of his army is about [-], and the number of men who can fight is about [-]. However, after several defeats, the number of men who can fight may be less than [-].

If these two tribes of Ximan can be moved into the Han Dynasty, there will be more than [-] barbarians, enough to fill the population of the Han Dynasty.

Gathering his mind, Deng Zhi's eyes fell on Qin Jun's fitness, and said: "Qin Jingfu sent an envoy to let Chen Ximan withdraw to Wuling Mountain, and I have soldiers to meet up in the valley. As for your ministry, you can start tomorrow, and we will send [-] soldiers as guards The governor leads the soldiers to the rear, and I hope Qin Jingfu will lead a thousand people to stay and assist."

Deng Zhi kept a hand, and in order to prevent Tan Junjian from going back on his word, he would let him stay to help him.

"No, follow the governor's plan and arrangements!" Tan Junjian naturally knew about it, but he didn't object.
