As an emperor and prime minister, especially when there are three kingdoms in the world, you must not kill and purge the ministers and wealthy families under your command for no reason.

Once this is done, it is easy to put the civil and military ministers in danger. If it has a reputation for being brutal and unkind, then attacking other places in the future will not be conducive to the people's will.

Therefore, Zhuge Liang knew that Yang Yun wanted to eradicate Yonghong's thoughts, and he did not act rashly.

In order to justifiably solve Yonghong, Zhuge Liang deliberately issued a policy of clearing the land and freeing slaves and maids. Yonghong is the largest wealthy family in Nanzhong. Later, a large part of the seven counties in Nanzhong was in his hands.

There are also slaves and servants under his name, almost tens of thousands.

These two policies are implemented in South China. It was undoubtedly cutting his flesh. So Yonghong is like a cannonball, and it explodes immediately at one point.

During this time, Yang Yun was cultivating in the palace of Qingcheng Mountain. made Yonghong have the illusion that the emperor must be seriously ill or controlled by Zhuge Liang when he lived in a simple place.

That's why Yonghong did not hesitate to rebel.

However, it is a pity that his rebellion plan has long been known to Zhuge Liang, and before he rebelled, he had already written to Yang Yun and sent a group of troops to secretly lurk near Yongchang County.

Just wait for Yonghong to rebel, and these armies will converge and destroy Yonghong in one fell swoop.

"Yonghong is not a threat, as long as a general leads the troops, he can easily solve the other party, the real trouble is the barbarian clans of the southern and central counties! These barbarians are the real masters of the southern and middle places!"

Yang Yun closed the fold and thought to himself in his heart.

If the barbarians in Nanzhong are not solved, then the rear of Yizhou will always be threatened. The Northern Expedition that could not reassure the Shu Han army.

Moreover, Zhuge Liang's world-famous powerhouse Wudang Flying Army was trained by the elite of the Southern Barbarians.

"Ji Chang, you go and prepare the frame!"

Yang Yun commanded, and he was ready to return to the capital and discuss with Zhuge Liang about the strategy of dealing with the Southern Barbarians.

Half a day later.

The carriage returned to the capital, the city gate was wide open, due to the frequent traffic in the Qingcheng Mountain in the capital (read in reverse), for the sake of convenience, Yang Yun deliberately kept a low profile, only brought more than 100 white-haired elite soldiers, did not alarm the people, quietly entered the city.

The capital of Yizhou, after two years of governance, has become more and more prosperous.

On the streets, there are many scholars haunting, and there are some sons of families who are walking outside the city with servants and maids. Many vendors are hawking on both sides of the street.

There were some smiles on the faces of these vendors, and the faces of the people in the city were a little more rosy than before. There is hope for the future life in his eyes.

"In the past two years, I have used Jiangdong's captives to settle the fields, released slaves and maids, rewarded farming, and accumulated millions of stone of grain and grass!

So much grain and grass is enough to support an army of more than 100,000 to go on the expedition.

As soon as Yang Yun thought of this, he was a little nervous in his heart, and wanted to lead the army north to attack Guanzhong. If Guanzhong and Shu are connected, it will become the trend of the Qin State swallowing the world back then. The grasp of the Sanxing Han room can skyrocket to fifty percent!

"Step by step! conquer the Nanban first, and then talk about the rest!"

Yang Yun returned to the palace and soon sent people to summon Zhuge Liang, Li Yan and others.

"Meet Your Majesty!"

Zhuge Liang, Li Yan, Ma Liang, Ma Jian and others rushed in. Among them, after Ma Tan tempered himself in Jingzhou, he has made a lot of progress, and his breath is a lot more stable.

So in the past two years, it has gradually been reused, and it is no longer the little follower around Zhuge Liang in the past.

"Kong Ming, I have already seen your recital! There is no difficulty in solving Yonghong according to your method, but in addition to Yonghong, there are nearly a million barbarians in Nanzhong. Do you have a strategy for dealing with these barbarians?"

Yang Yun was the first to speak.

"Your Majesty, Yonghong's power in Nanzhong is not weak, and he has a close relationship with the barbarians, if you want to completely pacify Nanzhong, in addition to destroying Yonghong, you must also send troops to suppress the barbarians!"

Zhuge Liang said in a deep voice: "To deal with the barbarians, it is necessary to use both grace and power, among which the power is before the grace! We must first send troops to break the barbarians and completely break the arrogance of the barbarians!"

Yang Yun nodded slightly, Zhuge Liang was talking about a big strategy. "You're right! To deal with barbarians, naturally we can't pay attention to forgiveness, and the inner saint and outer king are the most effective ways to deal with barbarians!"

Different from the prosperity of Confucianism in the future, the scholars and officials at this time could command the army when they got on the horse and govern the people when they got off the horse, and they had the brave wind of the Han Dynasty.

It's a pity that in the future, the Hu people went south, causing chaos in the Central Plains and almost destroying the Han people's system. As a result, those well-dressed warriors crossed Jiangdong to the south, and the fierce legacy of the Han people was completely consumed in the water towns in the south of the Yangtze River.

In the original timeline, Zhuge Liang accepted Ma Tan's strategy of attacking the city and attacking the heart, captured Meng Shu seven times, completely pacified Nanzhong, and the southerners surrendered from then on.

What made the southerners surrender was not Zhuge Liang's generosity, but the strength and self-confidence of the Shu Han army. It doesn't matter if I let you go seven times, but on the eighth time, I can still defeat you!

"Your Majesty, the land of barbarians, there are many miasma poisonous springs, and it is said that there is also a witch blessing that believes in barbarian gods, which can release Gu worms!

Ma Liang walked out and arched his hand.

"Hmm...... Ji Chang is thoughtful, before setting out on the expedition, he must prepare more detoxification herbs!"

Yang Yun's gaze fell on Zhuge Liang. Ponder, then make a decision.

"Prime Minister, this southern expedition, in addition to conquering the Nanban, but also to make the Nanban surrender, now in the court, Huang Hansheng, Zilong and Ma Chao and others, more than brave, the text is insufficient. There is no suitable general for the Southern Expedition ......"

"I wonder if you would like to take a trip and serve as the commander of the Southern Expedition?"

As soon as Yang Yun's words came out, everyone in the hall suddenly shook.

Li Yan, who looked square, hurriedly rushed out and said: "Your Majesty, is there a precedent in the world for the prime minister to lead troops to the battle?

After he said this, he turned his head to Zhuge Liang and apologized, and said: "Prime Minister Zhuge Cheng, I don't mean you, but this precedent must not be opened!"

Ma Liang and Ma Jian did not speak.

Zhuge Liang also came out and said: "Thank you Your Majesty for your attention, the minister is willing to serve as the commander of the Southern Expedition and serve Your Majesty, but what the positive side said is right, there is no precedent in the world for the prime minister to unify the army!"

In the original timeline, Liu Bei died of illness, Zhuge Liang was in charge, and apart from him, no one could command the army, so he led the army as the prime minister.

Now that the emperor is still alive, it is naturally impossible for Zhuge Liang to govern the people and lead the troops at the same time.

"Well, then remove you from the post of prime minister first, and add you as the general of the expedition to Nanzhong, and the governor of Nanzhong, all military and political powers!

Yang Yun stood up and said in a deep voice.
