Chapter 942: The End of the Southern Crusade (5,000 words in a big chapter, two more in one!) )

When Huang Zhongsheng captured Meng, this battle was over.

The herdsman army mobilized the Modao Battalion, the Flying Bird Battalion, the Black Armor Cavalry Battalion, the Jingping First Army, four soldiers and horses, the inside and outside, the center blossomed, and took the barbarian king Meng Shu, killed 8,000 barbarian troops, and captured more than 6,000.

This battle also laid the foundation for the victory of the Battle of Chaiyu.

Even if the main force of the barbarian army still has the strength to fight, they have no hope of subverting the outcome of the war, in this battle, the barbarian army was flowered by the center and directly beheaded, not only more than 10,000 elite barbarian soldiers and horses were killed, the most powerful vine armor soldiers were all wiped out, and even the barbarian king Meng Shu was captured by the herd army.

There have always been countless battles between the barbarians and the Han people, and there are many barbarian kings who have died in battle.

However, as a barbarian king, the king recognized by the 36 caves of the barbarians, Meng Huo's weight is still very heavy, at least the major cave masters will have the idea of throwing rats against the herdsman because of his capture.

Therefore, even if the barbarian army wants to continue fighting, it has no chance.

Moreover, on the third day of Meng Huo's capture, the herdsmen had all returned to Chaiyu County, and the Dove Army, which was fighting in Chaishan, suddenly retreated, first withdrawing from the Chaishan battlefield, and then disappearing in Chaiyu.

The scouts of the Flying Bird Battalion hung on them, and found that they had left Chai Yu and were leaving towards the south, according to this path, they should have torn off the alliance with the barbarians, put aside the barbarian army, and returned to the tribe while they still had strength.

Since then, the barbarian army has only 123,000 troops left.

In the face of the strong morale and the shepherds who are in the sky, their minds are even more brilliant and uneasy.

If there is the assistance of the dove army, they still have the opportunity to fight with the herdsmen, and even take the dangerous road to recapture the barbarian king Meng Shu, but they have lost the help of the dove army, at this moment, the barbarian army has lost the strength to compete with the herdsmen on the battlefield of Chai Yu.

The most important thing is that the barbarian king Meng was captured, and the barbarian army division Meng You was also captured, and the entire barbarian army was leaderless, and several cave masters simply did not have enough majesty to be able to gather the barbarian army and continue to fight with the herdsman.

This continued until the fourth day.

Mrs. Zhurong is here.

Mrs. Zhu Rong led the new force of the 8,000 barbarian army into the battlefield, which boosted the morale of the barbarian army, after all, as Meng Shu's wife, Mrs. Zhu Rong is also a master of satisfying one of the best.

But that's all, even if Mrs. Zhurong continues to increase her troops at this moment, even if she increases her troops by tens of thousands, she can't shake the herdsman army at this moment.

The majesty of the herdsman army has destroyed the fighting spirit of the barbarian army, laid the foundation for the victory of this battle, and also captured the barbarian king Meng Shu in his hands, unless Mrs. Zhurong completely ignores Meng Shu's life and death.

Mrs. Zhurong is actually here to negotiate.

She was in Buwei City, waiting for the result of the war, she believed that the barbarian warriors would be able to agree to this war, but she didn't expect to lose so badly that even Meng Shu was captured alive.

She took her elite soldiers and horses and hurried north, hoping to rescue Meng from the barbarian army.

Two days later, without harassment by the pastoral army, Zhu Rong had successfully integrated the remaining soldiers and horses of the barbarian army, had nearly 20,000 troops, recovered a certain combat effectiveness, and blocked the southwest suburbs of Cheng in Chaiyu County.

At this time, Mrs. Zhurong sent the intention of negotiation, hoping that everyone could sit down and talk.

Xi Zhicai and Huang Zhong refused.

The drama was very simple, that is, to tell Mrs. Zhurong that if you want to talk, you can, but you have to go to Dianchi to talk, not here.

His response made the situation on the battlefield a little tense.

The barbarian army began to approach, the main force of the 20,000 barbarian army, although it is not a very strong force, but it is also very oppressive to the pastoral army, the first army of Jingping led by Huang Zhong, not to mention the Wuxi barbarian army, they fought many battles, exhausted, and there was little combat power left.

The three battalions under the command of Xi Zhicai also fought fiercely in the previous battle, killing 1,000 enemies, losing 800 themselves, and annihilating the main force of the barbarian army, which always has to pay a price.

As for the remnants of Yizhou, it was even more miserable, Niu Tushan was listed as a stronghold by the barbarian army, attacked seven times, 8,000 available soldiers, only 5,000 soldiers remained, almost everyone was wounded, and it was difficult to survive.

The most important thing is that once the war continues, after all, it is a little far away from Yizhou, but it is closer to the barbarian tribes, and the barbarians can integrate the young and strong and mobilize their last war power.

The last fighting power of a race has exploded, and that is the whole people are soldiers.

A race like a barbarian race is even more terrifying.

Therefore, the situation on the battlefield is somewhat imminent.

But Xi Zhicai never let go, emphasizing that he must bring Meng Shu back to Dianchi, and if the barbarians want to negotiate, they must go to Dianchi to negotiate.

And Mrs. Zhurong also knows that if she goes to Dianchi, she will not be able to come back.

So she was also very stalemate, and she would never let the shepherd leave.

After a stalemate of three days, at this time, a group of soldiers and horses from the north suddenly moved south, broke through the cities and tribes of the White Barbarians, and then entered Yongchang County, and within overnight, they had appeared in the northeast corner of Chai Yu.

This is the Third Army of the Pastoral Army Jingping.

The new army, which was established only when Mujing replaced Liu Yan and became the new lord of Yizhou, has been in charge of the battlefield of Yuewang and fought with the soldiers and horses of the Yi tribe.

The Yi tribe is also a part of the barbarians.

The Nanban is a large ethnic group, covering the three counties of Yongchang, Yuewang, and Yizhou, and even several tribes in Qiqi.

The Yi are definitely one of the most powerful tribes among the barbarians.

Even if Meng won back then, he was not able to conquer the Yi people.

It's just that the Yi people were orally crowned kings and recognized him as a barbarian king, and the Yi people didn't have any intention of uniting with him, and it wasn't until the herdsman's army went south that the Yi people and Meng Shu became close.

Meng You persuaded Gao Min and asked Gao Min to set up a banner of resistance to the herdsmen in Yuewang, and guided all the departments in Yuewang to resist the herdsmen together, and acted well.

But Gao Min died suddenly, causing the good situation to collapse.

Meng Huo originally wanted to integrate the barbarian tribes of Yuewang, but after the defeat of Weixian in the first battle, he was too busy to take care of himself, so he did not intervene in the battle of Yuewang, but no one would have thought that Yuewang would be defeated so miserably.

Not only did the Yi tribe surrender, but even the white barbarians who resisted finally ended up being breached by the tribe's lair.

This expenditure is now on the battlefield of Chai Yu, telling all the cave masters of the barbarians that in this battle, they have no hope of turning over, there is no one at all, once the war starts, it can only be a war of extermination.

Mrs. Zhurong is unwilling, but unwilling is just unwilling, she can't do anything, and she can't let the warriors of the barbarian caves go to death.

So she could only watch the shepherd withdraw her troops.

Although the herdsman army said that it was a withdrawal of troops, it was more like a beautiful class division returning to the dynasty, pressing all the way to the barbarian army, swaggering, leaving Chai Yu, to the east, first entering the evil dragon, and then the soldiers approached Shuangbai.

There are barbarian troops stationed in Shuangbai County.

At this time, there was no deterrent consequence, and in less than a day, the barbarians of Shuangbai City took the initiative to withdraw, let go of the road, and let the herdsmen pass.

……………………………………

In the sixth year of the first peace, in December.

At this time, the weather is already cold, even here in Dianchi Lake, a picturesque place like spring all year round, it also feels a little cold.

During this time, Mu Jing has been dealing with government affairs.

It's easy to fight the country, it's difficult to defend the country, and to lay down a piece of territory, as long as you work hard, but if you want to govern a place, you need to die countless brain cells, in order to establish the administrative system of Nanzhong, once and for all, this time he has worked hard.

The Taishou of Qiqi County and the Taishou of Yunnan County have already taken office.

But for Yue Wan and Yongchang, he didn't dare to be contemptuous.

The barbarian tribes in these places are very strong, and the slightest carelessness will cause conflicts between the Han barbarians, and the barbarians are short-tempered, and it is easy for ordinary conflicts to suddenly evolve directly into a weapon fight between the two forces, and then turn into a war.

Therefore, those who govern these two counties should be cautious and cautious.

Mu Jing thought about it for a long time, but there were not many candidates, and he scratched his head a little.

"My lord, the two counties are still at war, and this matter can be considered slowly!" Liu Jin said soothingly.

"It's over!"

Mu Jing shook his head, the latest news made him a little surprised: "Huang Zhong and Xi Zhicai captured the barbarian king Meng Shu, and they are being escorted back, and they will return to Dianchi in the near future, the barbarian army is not enough to worry about, as for Yue Wang, Zhang Liao and Gao Ding, they took down the Yi people, Chen Gong was also ruthless, and he had no less than three of the barbarian tribes who killed Yue Wang, and no less than three of the barbarian tribes were destroyed, and there were four or five of them who were broken into the old nest, including the white barbarians with the first financial strength of the barbarians!" ”

"This battle has come to this point, and the rest don't have to fight!"

"Just talk!"

"So the Nanzhong Governor's Mansion must have a plan as soon as possible, it can't catch up with the rhythm of the army, and now that people have beaten down the place, if the South Study can't be cured, I'm afraid it's not me who will lose face, it's the South Study!"

Mu Jing said quietly.

"Easier said than done!" Liu Jin also scratched his head, the key is that the background of the pastoral army is too shallow, and the relationship with the scholar clan has not been very good, and the accumulation of talents is insufficient.

"You come up with a plan for this matter as soon as possible!"

Mu Jingdao: "It's really not good, point generals, if you can go up, if you can't go up, you have to go up, the stability and peace of the two counties is more important, and those who have the ability are given priority, even if they are old people in Yizhou, they are not afraid to use it, I am confident that I can suppress them!" ”

"I'll think about it!"

Liu Jin said.

On December 7, Xi Zhicai took the lead and led the Black Armor Battalion to escort Meng Shu back to Dianchi City.

This is the second time Mu Jing has seen Meng Shu.

At this time, Meng Huo no longer had the momentum on the battlefield of Weixian County, at that time, even if he fell into a desperate situation, Meng Huo was still Meng Huo, the king of a generation of barbarians, swallowing mountains and rivers, brave as a tiger.

And now, I don't know if he was defeated by Huang Zhong, or maybe he was beaten by Mu Jun's confidence, and he became a little decadent.

"Barbarian King, we meet again!"

Mu Jing met Meng Shu in a palace, without Huang Zhong's personal escort, he took the initiative to keep a little distance, the Divine Guard soldiers lined up, and the strong crossbows arranged around him dared to meet Meng Shu, after all, such a strong person, don't accept the injury, even if the skill is wasted, within ten steps, you can easily kill Mu Jing.

Mu Jing didn't dare to do things that were strong.

Meng Shu just raised his head lightly, glanced at Mu Jing, and was silent, maybe he didn't want to say it, maybe he couldn't say it, or perhaps, he already had the heart to seek death, so he was silent.

"Barbarians can't afford to lose!" Pastoral scenes.

Meng Huo's fists clenched suddenly.

"You and I made an oath in Wei County, and now you have been defeated again, and the second time it has fallen into my hands, do you not plan to keep the oath, or do you want to repay the debt!" Mu Jing smiled brightly, his eyes were lifelike, but with a Taishan version of the pressure, it pressed on Meng Shu.

Meng Shu gritted his teeth, he didn't know what to say.

Admit defeat?

He can afford to lose, but can the barbarians lose?

Do you want to throw in the towel?

Does he still have the qualifications to admit defeat now?

"Give me a good look!" Mu Jing shrugged his shoulders and said indifferently: "Do you admit it, or do you plan to let my herdsman army of 100,000 lions continue to fight, I don't mind spending another year and a half, I promise to uproot the thirty-six holes of the barbarians, even if you hide in the old caves in the deep mountains, if I want to dig it, I will definitely be able to dig it out, and then the barbarians will be the scourge of extermination, I can say it, I can do it!" ”

"Although my barbarians lose, but the 100,000 mountains are as solid as a rock, you, if you want to destroy my barbarians, you can't do it!"

Meng Shu spoke.

"Hehehe!"

Mu Jing smiled: "In a strong position, there will be a day when it will be lost, although the 100,000 mountains are indeed a place where snakes, insects, rats, ants, beasts and tigers are infested, but if I want to fight, no one can stop it, my herding army has been preparing for this battle many years ago, not to mention the strength of the war tiger battalion under my command, I have the Wuxi barbarian army, you don't think that the Wuxi barbarian army is not proficient in jungle warfare!" ”

Meng Shu's heart was sudden.

Wuxi barbarian army, outside, they are indeed not afraid, but once they enter the 100,000 mountains, it will be a mortal force to the lair of the barbarian tribes, and the barbarians will, and they will basically do.

used to be in the same vein, the same living environment, and cultivated their same strength.

"Do you really want to destroy my barbarians?" Meng Shu didn't want to bow his head, but he had to bow his head, he lost, he had lost the room for bargaining, it was not nice to say, he could not do it, he could bear the punishment of ten thousand Gu, but as the king of the barbarians, he must not watch the barbarians exterminate in his own hands.

"I don't want to!"

Mu Jing shook his head: "What I wanted, I told you a long time ago, two words, surrender!" ”

"If we surrender, what will you do to us?" Meng asked.

"Treat everyone equally!"

"Han and barbarians, who can do the same, in your eyes, Han people will always be noble, we are just barbarians, we are lowly, no matter how much we do, we can't change the status in your hearts!"

Meng Shu said coldly.

"A person's background is different, the race doesn't count, I'm Han, you're a barbarian, it's heavenly!" Mu Jing said: "But I am willing to change, the world is one family, and live a peaceful life, isn't it!" ”

He has such thoughts, which are incompatible with this era.

The education of later generations told him that the fifty-six ethnic groups are one family, but now, the alien race is a sentence, and the hearts of non-our races must be different, whether it is the nomads on the grassland, or the barbarians in southern Xinjiang, the mountains in the southeast, and the Baiyue in Jiaozhou, in the eyes of the Han people, they are all aliens, they are all low-class races, untrustworthy, unreliable, unusable, and have been enemies for generations.

"That's a nice thing to say!"

Meng Shu sneered and said, "But that time, you didn't want to lure us out and then slaughter us!" ”

"Trust is on both sides!" Mu Jing smiled faintly: "I give you any guarantee now, you can't believe it, but this step, if you don't come out, even if you win this battle, the barbarians will always be the barbarians in the 100,000 mountains, and you will never be able to get out of Nanzhong!" ”

Meng Shu was a little silent.

"I want to see two people!"

After half a ring, Meng Shu said suddenly.

"Who!"

"Meng You and my wife!"

"I can arrange it!" Mu Jing thought for a while and said: "Meng You, I heard that it is your brother and the army division of the barbarian army, using us to fight with the remnants of Yizhou, and the snipe and clam compete for the fisherman's profit, this is indeed a good plan!" ”

"No matter how good it is, it can't be counted as you Han, you will plan it, lure us to take the initiative, and then raid our Chinese army, this idea itself is risky, but it makes you successful, you Han, it's really amazing!"

Meng Shu said with a sigh.

"Meng You has also been captured, he has arrived at Dianchi, and I will arrange for you to meet!"

"As for Mrs. Zhurong, I can pass on the news to you, but whether she dares to come to Dianchi or not, I don't guarantee it!" Mu Jing said: "You were planted in my hands, Meng You was also captured, the entire barbarian thirty-six caves, many cave masters were killed in battle, and now she is the only one who can support the major events in the clan, she may not dare to take risks!" ”

"He's coming, and you're not going to hurt her!" Meng Shoudao.

"Why?"

Mu Jing was a little puzzled, he did think so, but he didn't expect Meng Shu to guess his mind so accurately.

"Because you don't want to see a barbarian torn apart, at least at this time, you won't allow the barbarian to become a tribe one by one!" Meng Shu said: "In addition to me, Meng Shu, there are only two people left who can suppress the barbarians, one is my wife, and the other is the great wizard, kill my wife, you will face the great wizard, you won't want to face him!" ”

"Grand Wizard?"

Mu Jing did not deny Meng Shu's statement, he really didn't want to see a scattered barbarian, because in this way, it would be a great trouble for them to govern the place, the unified barbarian was still somewhat orderly, and the scattered barbarian was just a group of thieves.

But he was a little interested in the archwizard.

…………………………………………

In the sixth year of the first peace, on December 24, Meng was returned to the Ming Marquis Mansion as a barbarian king.

The herdsmen mobilized the main army of 100,000 people, no less than more than 100,000 people, to carry out this southern expedition campaign, which lasted for almost a year, and finally ended the battle under the submission of the barbarians.

The four counties in the south and central were all swept away.

The last trouble in Yizhou has been solved, and what remains is the governance of the state of boiled frogs in warm water, as long as it is properly governed, so that Nanzhong is stable, and the Minghou Mansion is in Yizhou, it will be as stable as Mount Tai.
