Chapter 21: The Mutation in Nanzhong

The war in Sizhou has become clear by this point.

With Pang De occupying the Wuguan area, the entire Henan Yin has completely fallen into Li Ming's hands. At the same time, as Guan Yu's troops broke into Hanoi County, Wang Yubu's troops began to kill Zhao County and Julu County while defeating Wei County.

Yuan Shao led the army to confront Yuan Tan in Anping State, and finally defeated Yuan Tan, but he didn't wait to attack Bohai County, but he didn't want Tai Shi Ci to suddenly kill out, and Yuan Tan converged together to march together.

When Li Ming stopped marching in front of Hangu Pass, good news came from Hebei that Yuan Shao was taken off by Yuan Tan in the chaos. This petition was submitted perfectly, and Li Ming had to accept Yuan Tan's allegiance, but it was inevitable to discredit his reputation.

At this moment, Yuan Tan can only become a lonely minister, whether it is a vengeful Hamlet, I don't know, Li Ming is very satisfied with his performance at this stage. The Yuan family's family is destined to be Yuan Tan, and no one else, Li Ming, will approve of it.

"And the state can't be defeated?" Li Ming looked at Guo Jia, Liu Ting had already retreated to Guanzhong, and it was not bad to take the opportunity to take down the state.

"Our army is struggling in Youzhou, the 300,000 Xianbei and Wuhuan coalition forces make General Zhenbei very difficult, and the most priority target of the general of the expedition will be placed in Youzhou!" The herald hurriedly replied, not daring to slack off.

"That's it......" Li Ming felt a little pity, if Wang Yu worked harder, it was estimated that it would not be a dream to unify Hebei.

"The occupation of the state is of little value, not to mention that the Southern Xiongnu are also cruising there, and at the same time, they have to cross the Taihang Mountains where the Montenegrin army is active, and they are too passive in the past at this moment. The relatives of the key royal family are still in Taiyuan, and they still have scruples in the end. Guo Jia immediately analyzed Wang Yu's thoughts.

"Do you need support?" Li Ming nodded, if the risk is counted, there is indeed no need to attack the state at present.

"Hedong seems to be just as troublesome...... Let's stop here! Bond! Li Ming thought about it carefully, seeing that there was still half a month to enter winter, there was no need to continue fighting.

"The minister is here!" Pound quickly came out of the queue when he heard this.

"You will replace Lu Bu as the general of Zhengxi and sit in Yin, Henan. Your side will be the front line against the big Han, and you must not let any Han pawn send a letter to Guguan! Li Ming officially gave the order.

Of course, the enemy can also come from Hedong County over the mountains and mountains, but in the past, it was almost impossible to consider it because of the high cost. Now it is difficult to say, in order to get the fighters, who can be sure what the Han army will do.

"Obey orders!" Pound was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly received the order, of course, he did not forget to say a few words of allegiance and the like.

"As for Zhang Xiu...... Li Ming looked at another person, it was Lu Bu's deputy general Zhang Xiu, who had been there all along.

"It's up to you to sit in Nanyang and guard against the enemy from going south from Wuguan!" Li Ming gave the order.

"Obey orders!" Zhang Xiu happily accepted the order, he had to climb higher so that he could become the main force in the Western Expeditionary Army. Only in this way can I avenge my uncle.

"Let's go back!" Li Ming has been out for nearly two months, and if he doesn't go back, Xun Biao and Zhang Zhao will have a falling out.

About six days later, the large army arrived in Yingchuan County, and Li Ming was planning to go to Yangzhai to visit Xun Shuang. After all, since this year, Xun Shuang's health has not been very good, and if conditions permit, Li Ming also plans to treat the old man well

"Report! Nanzhong Urgent! "Halfway through, there was a herald who hurriedly came," Nanzhong urgently reported, the Han army suddenly attacked Nanzhong in an all-out way, King Duosi and King Mulu entangled more than a dozen tribes to rebel, and Nanzhong was in a hurry! ”

When Li Ming heard this, he immediately inquired about the detailed process, and learned that the Han army had actually assembled an army of 30,000, plus more than a dozen tribes entangled by King Mulu and King Duosi, and the help of nearly 10,000 barbarian soldiers, had successfully overthrown the Nanzhong forces dominated by Meng Jie, and recaptured the three northern counties in the Nanzhong region, including Yunnan County, Yuewan County and Zhudi County.

Meng Jie fell for the other party's tricks and was lured to the camp by them to attack and kill, and the dragons on the Nanzhong Barbarian side were leaderless, which led to the other party quickly defeating three counties. After that, Peng Hu and Xiao Yao quickly marched north, of which Xiao Yao killed the king of Mulu among the ten thousand troops with an absolute advantage, which forced the other party to temporarily retreat to Yueyan County, and Yunnan County and Zhudi County were temporarily recovered.

"It seems that our actions in Nanzhong are still too anxious, the local natives, especially the patriarchs of those tribes, are worried that they will lose their inherent power, so they are encouraged by King Mulu and King Duosi......" Guo Jia just listened to the information, and he had already roughly guessed the key.

Although Nanzhong is in a semi-autonomous state, Peng Hu has been strengthening the work of sinicization in recent years. In addition, the transmission of some basic etiquette and concepts of the Han people seriously infringed on the interests of local chiefs. In fact, even if you can be a county commander and a county guard, you are not as comfortable as you used to be the emperor of the soil, and it is not surprising that you are encouraged to deal with yourself.

"Peng Hu has been marching north, why not only has he not been able to conquer the city, but he has also been defeated by others?" Li Ming was immediately upset.

"Your Majesty, the general of Zhengnan has tried to go north to Ba County three times, but he has attacked Jiangzhou several times, but he has been repelled by a middle-aged general on the other side. General Xiao called for battle many times, but the other party did not accept it, and at the same time used tactics many times, forcing General Xiao to retreat, so stalemate to a white-hot state, the rear suddenly changed, if it were not for Meng Shu to take back power, and stabilize the mood of the various departments, I am afraid that Yongchang County, Jianning County and Qiqi County are in danger. The herald hurriedly explained.

"When did a military general appear in Yizhou who was so good at using soldiers?" Li Ming was a little puzzled, but if Xiao Yao also participated in the war, then it should not be an excuse, after all, deceiving himself like this would not do him any good.

"Go back and collect the information of the Jiangzhou guards for me!" Li Ming looked at one of the guards beside him, who gave up his order.

The surrounding generals naturally knew very well that this guard sergeant was a person from the shadow guard, so they just kept their mouths shut obediently. Being remembered by the shadow guards, that is not a fun thing. is different from the secret guard who has been transferred to the procuratorate, the shadow guard is subordinate to the National Security Bureau, and only Li Ming is responsible for it, and his power is not small.

"Go back and tell Peng Hu to call me back from the three counties before winter, otherwise I will change someone to be the general of the expedition to the south!" Li Ming said slowly, just having an excuse to replace Peng Hu. In the final analysis, this guy is suitable for being a military general, a corps commander or something, it's too embarrassing for him.

Xiao Yao's ability is actually slightly insufficient, but he is the only one with enough ability and status. You can temporarily act as General Zhengnan, let him accumulate more experience, and then turn back depending on the situation.

"Whoa!" The herald did not dare to slack off, and when he heard this, he immediately received the order, and immediately turned on his horse and quickly advanced towards the south.

After more than ten days, the large army returned to Shouchun. During this period, Li Ming did go to Yangzhai, but when he arrived, he learned that Xun Shuang had passed away in June, and he didn't have time to see Xun Shuang for the last time.

After a brief prayer, he continued south, so much so that he returned to Shouchun ten days later. Sure enough, as expected, Xun Biao and Zhang Zhao came to him with a smile with a large number of government affairs materials.
