In November, the army returned to Korea. Yang Yun personally greeted Zhuge Liang outside the city. And according to his promise, he canonized Zhuge Liang as the Marquis of Wuxiang.

At this time, Shu Han was able to clear all hidden dangers. You can go north without worries and compete with Wei.

The state of Shu was in turmoil in the south, and Eastern Wu also had the worries of Shanyue. Now it seems that Zhuge Liang is still a step ahead, but in half a year, he has completely pacified the scourge of the barbarians.

Even from the elite of the barbarians, an elite army of soldiers and horses was selected and trained.

"Your Majesty! He is Meng Huo, the leader of the southerners!"

After handing over the military power tiger talisman according to the etiquette of the court, Zhuge Liang brought a burly and dark-skinned barbarian to meet him. This barbarian is Meng Huo, the leader of the Southern Barbarians.

"The criminal minister Meng is invited to see Your Majesty!"

Meng Huo often came into contact with Han officials in Nanzhong, and was no stranger to the etiquette and culture of the Han people.

"Get up!"

Yang Yun's eyes swept slightly, and he saw all the details of Meng Shu. This leader of the Southern Barbarians has a stout body and is born with divine power, but he has no cultivation method and cannot step into the innate like the generals of this world.

However, although Meng Huo did not have the cultivation strength, he seemed to have other powers in his body.

On his arm, there are dark green totemic lines. The totem seems to be sealed with a force that is different from normal vitality.

"This is the unique barbarian power of Nanban?"

Some time ago, in the battle report from the army, it was mentioned that there were all kinds of strange methods in the Southern Barbarian Army, and the barbarian warriors carved totems on their bodies to attract the power of the barbarian gods to enhance themselves.

Among the tribes, there are also wizards who can manipulate Gu worms.

However, these wizards did not work against Zhuge Liang, who was proficient in Confucianism and Taoism, and Zhuge Liang easily came up with a way to crack it. Completely crushed Nanban's self-confidence.

Yang Yun has a strong curiosity about the barbarian gods in the barbarian tribe.

He thought of the Holy Maiden of the Divine Lotus Sect in the main world who absorbed faith and condensed the Dharma Phase. Perhaps, from the power of the barbarian gods, he can comprehend the mystery of the condensation of the law by the powerhouses of the Heavenly and Human Realms.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, Minister Meng, I wish to surrender to the Han Dynasty forever and serve Your Majesty!"

Meng Shu bowed very respectfully, and then straightened up according to the instructions of the eunuchs in the palace.

"The Nanren are also my Han people, as long as they belong to the Han Dynasty with peace of mind, I will definitely treat them equally in the future!

Yang Yun waved his hand and said lightly. After appointing Meng to the official position, the other party quickly bowed down and left the main hall.

His gaze shifted to Zhuge Liang, the originally elegant and chic prime minister, but now he has a trace of awe-inspiring aura that controls life and death.

It can be seen that after personally leading the army to the south, Zhuge Liang has changed a lot.

After cultivating the three secret methods of prolonging life passed on by Yang Yun, Zhuge Liang's body was not as weak as the original timeline. Now it's just a long body, and it's very healthy.

"Kong Ming, the secret agent of the Wei State came to report that Cao Pi was seriously ill and was afraid that his life would not be long in coming. As soon as Cao Pi dies, I will personally lead a large army to the north! You have to be ready. ”

In Yang Yun's memory, Cao Pi reigned for less than seven years, and if everything went as usual, Cao Pi would die of illness in Luoyang not long after. This was the perfect opportunity for the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains.

Cao Pi is far away in Luoyang, and he has long had an old illness. Yang Yun has been in this world for so long, reversing the Yiling War of Shu Han's decline and capturing Jingzhou. But it can't affect Cao Pi's health.

According to Zhuge Lianglong's strategy, as soon as the time came, an army marched north from Jiangling to attack Xiangyang. An army marched north from Hanzhong to attack Guanzhong. The two roads will be able to recover the Central Plains and return to the old capital.

"Cao Pi is seriously ill?"

Zhuge Liang had just returned from the southern expedition, and it was the first time he heard the news, and his face suddenly swelled with excitement. Now the armor of Shushan is sharp, the southern barbarians are subdued, and the grain and grass are piled up like a mountain, and they are in the peak state.

And the state of Wei suddenly lost its monarch. This is a godsend!

"Your Majesty, Cao Pi is seriously ill, it is a good opportunity for us to send troops, I don't know who your Majesty wants to be the main general of the attack on Xiangyang in Jingzhou?"

Zhuge Liang hurriedly asked.

If the troops are sent from both sides, according to Zhuge Liang's plan, the main force must be the Hanzhong side. Jingzhou is mainly contained from the side. After all, there is Jiangdong in the east of Gangneung and Xiangyang in the north, and there are threats on both sides, so it is difficult to break through from here.

But even so, the main general of Jingzhou cannot be sloppy in the slightest. If there is another Guan Yu who cares about his head, then Shu Han will not talk about the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains, I am afraid that even Jingzhou will not be able to protect it.

“...... Is there a candidate for Kong Ming?"

Yang Yun was silent for a while, there seemed to be no second handsome talent in the Shu Han Dynasty who could sit on one side except Zhuge Liang.

If only Lu Xun, who was captured in Shu, was willing to surrender. With Lu Xun as the commander, there will definitely be no omissions in sending troops from both directions.

"In the opinion of the minister, His Majesty's original arrangement was good, and now General Yu Ban is training sailors in Jingzhou, and he has achieved a small success. General Yu Ban can garrison the police. In case of a Yin attack by Eastern Wu, without Jiangdong as a chong, General Huang Quan can lead a large army to the north and compete with the Wei army in Xiangyang!"

"However, Gong Heng is long in the dignified array, and it is more than enough to serve as a general or a guard, so that he can lead the northern expedition of the army, but it is somewhat insufficient. Your Majesty can send Ma Jian as a military advisor and Huang Zhong as a deputy general, so that Jingzhou can have no worries!"

Yang Yun pondered, Huang Quan is indeed as Zhuge Liang said, it seems that he can be in charge of one side in both civil and military affairs, but he is still a little short of being the commander of one side. With the assistance of experienced Ma Tan, there should be no problems.

Moreover, sending Ma Tan to Jingzhou can also avoid the consequences of the loss of the street pavilion in the first Northern Expedition of the original timeline.

Zhuge Liang's first Northern Expedition, taking advantage of Cao Pi's new death, took the three counties of Longxi in one fell swoop, Guanzhong was shaken, and the most promising capture of Guanzhong was the most promising.

The ancients had a saying, one blow, then decline, three and exhaustion. If the first Northern Expedition failed, so that Wei had a defense, then it would be difficult to take Guanzhong in the Northern Expedition in the future.

"Just according to Kong Ming's words!"

Yang Yun agreed to his idea, and then asked Zhuge Liang to prepare for the army to go on the expedition again. As soon as the opportunity came, he immediately sent troops north.

After Zhuge Liang left.

Yang Yun came to the side hall. In the side hall, there are three statues with rough workmanship, but simple and mysterious. In addition to the three statues, there are also some flags and animal skins.

These things are the statues of the barbarian gods that he ordered Zhuge Liang to bring back, as well as the witch sacrifice techniques of the Nanban tribe.

"This tribe of the Southern Barbarians actually has good things!"

After knowing the situation of the Nanban tribe, Yang Yun always wanted to see what this barbarian god was. These three statues of gods are what the Shu army took from the three oldest barbarian tribes after the war.

Yang Yun could sense that there was an aura that he was very familiar with in the statue.
