The land of Bashu.
After ten years of development by the Qin State, this place can no longer be described simply as "poor mountains and poor waters".
The original idea of Qin general Sima Cuo has been initially verified - large areas of plains have been reclaimed, and the repaired canals can provide sufficient irrigation for these fertile fields.
In addition, this place is far away from the battlefields of the Central Plains, so we can safely carry out construction and promote production... three crops a year, so scary.
At this moment, the Bashu Basin is full of rice.
It’s already the harvest season, and as far as the eye can see, it’s all yellow and spectacular.
Logically speaking, this is the time when the people of Qin are smiling so much that they show two rows of big white teeth... but the local Qin officials cannot smile.
In fact, they feel like crying right now...
…
Xiong Wuliang's general Hong Shitou led dozens of capable Sichuan men through the dense forest.
In their hands, they carried dozens of weapons, either swords or long swords, with faint blood stains on them - a discerning person could recognize at a glance that these were weapons of the Qin people.
Obviously, Hong Shitou and the others had just fought a beautiful small-scale ambush and captured a lot of money.
"The Chuan clan's headquarters is just ahead." Chuan Yong came to Hong Shitou's side with a flattering smile on his face.
Chuanyong was originally the Lantian guard of the Qin State. Relying on his identity as a Ba native, he was lucky enough to survive in the hands of Xiong Wuliang, who attacked Qin in anger... Later, Xiong Wuliang decided to conquer Bashu and disrupt the great power of the Qin State. Granary, Chuan Yong will show its value.
As the young patriarch of the Chuan clan, he provided Hong Shitou with a lot of conveniences.
In the past six months, with the support of Xiong Wuliang's money and food, the Chuan clan relied on their influence in Bashu to stir up trouble and recruit soldiers in various places.
Hong Shitou provided them with sophisticated weapons and training.
Groups of Bashu barbarians who cherished their homeland were trained into capable warriors and equipped with Qin weapons... This was their home field.
Facing the Qin army's encirclement and suppression, these Bashu men can often rely on their understanding of the terrain to defeat more with less.
A group of people entered the Chuan Clan's residence. The Chuan Clan guarding the gate respectfully saluted Chuan Yong: "Young Clan Chief, you are back."
Chuan Yong waved his hand: "Let the clan elders prepare, we have distinguished guests today!"
"Don't they often ask - Who is the sage who helped me, Chuan Yong, to win many battles?"
"Today, I brought that 'sage' here!"
As Chuan Yong spoke, he looked at Hong Shitou with eager eyes...
The Chuan clan members were stunned, but they did not dare to neglect and hurried in to spread the word... The Chuan clan immediately became lively.
Chuan Yong put away his domineering aristocratic look and bowed respectfully to Hong Shitou: "General Hong is coming to the humble abode, and the humble abode is full of glory... Please! Please come this way!"
Hong Shitou nodded and strode in without any humility.
In the past six months of conquering Bashu, Hong Shitou had personally trained many soldiers, and he also personally directed several beautiful ambush battles.
However, Chuanyong has always been in "single-line contact" with him.
In other words, Hong Shitou has never contacted the Chuan clan - although Chuan Yong has provided countless conveniences to Hong Shitou's management of Bashu through the Chuan clan.
Several Sichuan girls smiled brightly at Hong Shitou and led the latter into the largest thatched hut - and soon, they served tea.
Chuan Yong coughed dryly: "Our Chuan clan originally had a mansion and compound in the city... But since the war against Qin, the elders in the clan are worried that the Qin people will find out who is responsible for the Chuan clan, which will lead to a catastrophe of genocide."
"So the whole family migrated to the deep mountains and wilderness, and this is where they ended up."
"The current conditions are so crude that it makes General Hong laugh."
Not long after, the elders of the Chuan clan gathered together and stared directly at Chuan Yong and Hong Shitou.
Hong Shitou's heart tightened - although he was a reckless man fighting on the battlefield, he was by no means a fool.
In fact, being able to be entrusted with such an important task by Xiong Wuliang shows that Hong Shitou is loose on the outside and tight on the inside, and his mind is very flexible.
Although most of the glances cast by the elders from this clan were quite friendly, there was obviously some cold light mixed in among them.
…
"The general is from Chu, right?" the Arikawa clan leader asked with a smile.
"This is the elder of the Chuankai clan of my Chuan clan, with a gentle temper..." Chuan Yong introduced in a low voice next to Hong Shitou.
Hong Shitou cupped his hands and said with a smile: "I have met the elder of the Chuankai tribe. The elder of the tribe has clearly seen that I, Hong Shitou, am from Chu."
"At last, I would like to take the liberty of acting on behalf of my family, Marquis Quyang, to pay my respects to all the respected elders of the Sichuan clan!"
Chuan Kai was startled.
The whole room became quiet for a moment.
Qu Yanghou? Is this young Chu general a member of Qu Yanghou?
No wonder he has such ability!
Over the past few months, the Bashu soldiers led by Chuan Yong won many battles and plundered countless Qin people's property and fleets. Even in the face of the tiger and wolf Qin soldiers who were attacking, they won several battles.
Before and after, more than a thousand Qin soldiers were beheaded.
It really shocked those Sichuan clan members who originally talked down the idea of 'resisting the Qin people'... They were slapped in the face.
When Chuan Yong returned to his clan, he strongly advocated that the Ba people should unite with the Shu rebels to resist Qin's rule in the Bashu region... Chuan Yong painted a beautiful blueprint for driving away the Qin people, and most of the clan members were moved by this. .
But of course there are also some people who are negative.
The reason is simple - Qin is strong and Bashu is weak.
When the country was still alive, it could not stop the Qin army... Now that the country has been destroyed, can the Qin people be driven away with only the blood of the remaining people?
Pure nonsense!
In the end, it will only lead to even more crazy and bloody suppression by the Qin State... Not only will the Chuan family not be able to get the big cake of 'restoration', but they will also suffer heavy casualties under the constant attack of the Qin soldiers, and even face the disaster of annihilation!
Fortunately, Chuanyong's status in the clan was not low. After some lobbying and a meal... he finally succeeded in instigating the whole clan to support Chuanyong in revolting against Qin!
The opposition was heartbroken and believed that Chuanyong was leading the tribe to a dead end.
What's wrong with being a dog for the Qin people?
Although the Qin people did not regard the Bashu people as human beings and worked hard to draw blood in the Bashu area...but they still respect our Chuan clan quite a bit.
After all, they are the top big families in the area, so they always have to win over them to facilitate the rule of the Qin people.
As long as the Sichuan clan is willing to be the tool of the Qin people to govern Shu and work for the puppet 'Shu lord' supported by the Qin state, they will be able to enjoy prosperity in the Bashu region - even more prosperous than before the Qin army entered Sichuan.
Why bother with the Qin people?
Woof woof woof!
The pie described by Chuan Yong of 'Driving away the Qin people and the Chuan family becoming king' is indeed big and round... But labor and management don't believe it. Can you really drive away the Qin people?
Unexpectedly... After several months of war, the Qin people were so anxious that they had no idea how to deal with the unpredictable attack of the Bashu coalition forces.
turn out to be--
