Liu Ze was a little in a trance when he first heard the news, and seemed to be a little unconvinced of his ears, after the Chinese officer reiterated it again, Liu Ze couldn't help but be ecstatic, he didn't even put on his clothes, pulled a cloak and put it on his body, and walked out of the house quickly, so that the groom led the horse, galloped all the way, and personally went to the south gate to meet Zhuge Liang.

Liu Ze's crazy behavior made Pan Feng very frightened, and he didn't care about riding a horse, so he took a group of Jinying guards, followed Liu Ze at a trot, and followed him to the south gate.

As soon as he got out of the south gate, he hit Zhuge Liang's car head-on, only Zhao Yun and other Liao Liao were accompanied, and he didn't see the figure of the 100,000 army at all, Liu Ze's heart sank suddenly, and he looked at the empty piece behind Zhuge Liang in confusion, and an ominous feeling suddenly shrouded Liu Ze's heart, could it be that the 90,000 army was wiped out?

Zhuge Liang had already gotten off the car, and seeing Liu Ze's expression, Zhuge Liang said with a smile: "The minister Zhuge Liang saw the lord, entrusted the lord Hongfu, Liang was able to return with a complete victory this time, and the seven counties and fifty-one counties of Jiaozhou have all been pacified." ”

Liu Ze can be regarded as relieved, and said in his heart that if Zhuge Liang wants to mix up the whole army to be destroyed, then he can't live up to Zhuge Liang's reputation of being wise and almost demonic, and now Liu Ze thinks day and night, that is, Zhuge Liang's 90,000 army can come back quickly, and the situation of the entire Jing Xuhuai is already dangerous, without this new force, Liu Ze really doesn't know how to fight this battle.

Zhuge Liang seemed to see through Liu Ze's thoughts, and said: "Liang was halfway back to the army, and he had already heard the news that Cao Cao's troops were pressing the border, so he took the first step and rushed back to Wuchang with Zilong Xingye. Discuss countermeasures with the lord. As for the 90,000-strong army, the minister has ordered it to go on a double route, and it is expected to return to Wuchang within five days. ”

Liu Ze's heart was a little calm, and he replied to Zilong, holding Kong Ming with his left hand and Zilong with his right hand, and entered the city together, and had a banquet in King Jing's Mansion to catch the wind and wash the dust for Zhuge Liang and others.

During the banquet, Zhuge Liang gave the details of the southern expedition one by one.

It was originally from after Liu Ze returned to Jingzhou after his illness. Zhuge Liang immediately counted the soldiers and horses. Along the Lengshui River south, over the Jiuyi Mountain, until Fuchuan, into the territory of Jiaozhou.

Shixie's siege of Guangxin was very urgent. Wu Jubing is a small general. Guangxin City is already in danger. Zhuge Liang found Guangxin in Fuchuan. Jiaozhou was mountainous, the roads were blocked, and the march of 90,000 troops was slow. I'm afraid that the army has not yet arrived in Guangxin, and Wu Ju has already been defeated. Therefore, Zhuge Liang decided to send surprise troops to rescue Guangxin, and ordered Zhao Yun to lead the first, seventh, and ninth cavalry divisions to double the road and quickly help Cangwu.

After Zhao Yun was ordered, he immediately led three cavalry divisions with a total of 9,000 cavalry to rush south, but Zhao Yun did not sneak secretly, but instead made a big fanfare, erected all the flags, and falsely claimed to be 100,000 elite cavalry.

Zhuge Liang's bluff made Shi Xie panic suddenly, and suspended the siege of Guangxin City, which was almost about to be taken, in order to avoid the Jing army and the Cangwu defenders from joining forces inside and outside, Shi Xie also lifted the siege of Guangxin City like an iron bucket, and evacuated to Mengling, thirty miles west of Guangxin, and defended the city, and then thought of a good strategy to retreat from the enemy.

The danger of Guangxin City was solved without a fight, Zhao Yunbing arrived at Guangxin City, Wu Ju went out of the city to greet him, and thanked him again and again. At this time, Zhao Yun also asked people to remove the banner and camp in Xi'an, Guangxin City.

Shi Xie got the news, saying that the Jing army that rescued Guangxin had less than 10,000 men and horses, and suddenly his lungs were almost blown up, and it turned out that the Jing army was just a bluff, and he claimed to be 100,000 troops with 10,000 horses. So Shixie immediately mobilized all the men and horses and killed Guangxin again from Mengling.

However, this time Shi Xie fell into Zhuge Liang's plan to show weakness to the enemy, Shi Xie came and went, and he had wasted five or six days of time, and five or six days of time was enough for Zhuge Liang to mobilize the remaining 80,000 troops around Guangxin City.

Shi Xie killed violently, but hit the iron plate headlong, the result can be imagined, Zhuge Liang cleverly set up a ten-sided ambush plan, the Shijia army 60,000 horses were lost, Shi Huang Youshi Wu was killed on the spot, only Shi Xie led the remnants to flee to Jiaozhi County.

After Zhuge Liang broke the enemy in Guangxin, he did not give Shixie any respite, and immediately divided his troops into three routes, ordering Lei Xu to lead the 21st Infantry Division to the east to take the South China Sea, and Meng Tan to lead the 2nd Infantry Division to take Hepu to the south.

The Jing army traveled a long distance, through 100,000 mountains, this is completely a primitive and barbaric barren land, hundreds of miles of inhabited, full of poisonous fog miasma, infested with wolves, insects, tigers and leopards, but this qiē can not stop Zhuge Liang's heart of Pingnan, after countless hardships and obstacles, the Jing army finally arrived at the Jiaozhi County Zhilong Formation City.

The dragon weaving is the old nest of Shi Xie, and Shi Xie has been operating hard and lonely in Jiaozhi for many years, so naturally he should not be abandoned. The Jing army attacked the city in a big way, the battle was extremely fierce, Huang Zhong, who was nearly sixty years old, took the lead, marched forward bravely, brandished a big knife, climbed up from the ladder, and was the first to rush to the head of the city of Longbian, under the inspiration and inspiration of Huang Zhong, the soldiers of the Jing Army were not afraid of death, all of them competed for the first, regardless of their lives, although the Shijia army resisted desperately, but in the end because of being outnumbered, the city of Longbian finally fell.

Seeing that the general trend was gone, Shi Xie knew that if he continued to defend it, it would be the end of the destruction of the whole army, so he learned from the pain, took his family and cronies, abandoned the city and fled, and went south to the barbarians of South Vietnam.

Take Jiaozhi County, the entire territory of Jiaozhou is already in control, the generals congratulate Zhuge Liang's merits, according to the generals' intentions, you can return to the dynasty with this class. But Zhuge Liang had no intention of withdrawing his troops, Shixie fled, the barbarians did not submit, and Jiaozhou seemed to be peaceful, but in fact it was full of hidden dangers. Shixie has been operating in Jiaozhou for many years, and his roots are deep, once the soldiers of the Jing army withdraw, Shixie will definitely make a comeback, and if Shixie does not die for a day, Jiaozhou will be restless for a day.

In order to eradicate the scourge, Zhuge Liang began to continue his march southward, waging war against the South Vietnamese barbarians. At the beginning, those barbarian tribes relied on their geographical advantages and could still do some maneuvering with the Jing army, but Zhuge Liang used the strategy of distant friendship and close attack to divide and disintegrate the major barbarian tribes, and signed an offensive and defensive alliance with the Jiuzhen and Ninan barbarians, completely isolating the South Vietnamese barbarians. In the face of Zhuge Liang's army approaching step by step, under internal and external difficulties, the South Vietnamese barbarians had to kill Shixie's entire family and surrender to Zhuge Liang.

At this time, Zhuge Liang showed the mind of an excellent political family, and he did not take any blame for these barbarian tribes, and made a blood alliance with them, agreeing that as long as they did not break the alliance and abandon the contract, the Celestial Empire would never ask for it. The leader of the barbarian tribe was grateful to Zhuge Liang and kowtowed to thank him.

Zhuge Liang returned to Guangxin, with Wu Ju temporarily as the history of Jiaozhou Thorn, the general consul of the seven counties of Jiaozhou, and so on back to Wuchang, Liu Ze, the king of Ming Jing, was re-appointed, and selected capable people to serve as the county guard of the seven counties of Jiaozhou, leaving troops to garrison the counties, and Jiaozhou was peaceful. Since the expedition in October of the seventh year of Jian'an, to April of the eighth year of Jian'an, it lasted half a year, and Zhuge Liang took half a year to pacify the entire Jiaozhou, which can not be said to be fast.

Then, Zhuge Liang returned to Wuchang with his division, and when he arrived in Chenxian, he heard the news that Cao Cao's troops were pressing, Zhuge Liang discussed with the generals, leaving Huang Zhong to command the army, and he and Zhao Yun drove lightly and rushed back to Wuchang.

Zhuge Liang is very clear that Cao Cao's unification of the north will inevitably destroy Yuan Yuwei to go south, seeking to dominate the world, Liu Ze's development has been in full swing in recent years, and Cao Cao's appeasement policy is inseparable, now Cao Cao has freed his hand, naturally will not allow Liu Ze to sit big, Cao Liu is already the trend of the times, for Liu Ze, the shape shì straight down, he will face a lot of pressure, at this time, Liu Ze's side, what is most needed is a top strategist like him, the southern expedition to Jiaozhou for Zhuge Liang, is just a small test, the real stage will be in the Central Plains, assisting Liu Ze to compete in the Central Plains and win the world, which is his ultimate goal of Zhuge Liang.
