After receiving the support of the ethnic minorities in Lingnan, Liu Yu also received more support from Liu Liniang's intelligence network. Liu Liniang's intelligence network does not mean that it is the intelligence network of ethnic minorities, this is a complete set of Huaiwang intelligence system, because of depoliticization, the entire intelligence network is also under the control of Liu Liniang alone, there are informants and people who spy on intelligence, there are also people who verify intelligence and transmit information, the division of labor within the organization is clear and the system is perfect, which is a great supplement to the intelligence network of the imperial court.

Liu Liniang's intelligence network and the original intelligence network of the imperial court in charge of Qu Zhu complemented each other, which made the intelligence advantages of the imperial army prominent.

In the last battle of Lingnan, Liu Yu grasped the time difference in intelligence acquisition.

Among the three remaining Dikui, Li and Lu Shi's forces are relatively smaller, while Yang Shi's forces are the largest, and there has long been a gap between them in terms of territory division before.

Liu Yu let out the wind early on, saying that the Yang clan was preparing to annex Li and Lu's territory, and also indicated that it would be after the imperial army withdrew.

Because the imperial army has been holding its troops until it has besieged the boundaries of the three Dikui, the intention of the imperial army to withdraw is obvious, and it also puts the Li and Lu families in some danger. Then, Liu Yu launched a sudden air attack.

The target of Liu Yu's air attack was Yang, in fact, the main purpose of Liu Yu's attack this time was also to see the reaction of the other two. Sure enough, in the days leading up to the attack, Li and Lu did not fulfill their promise to send reinforcements, because they were also suspicious of the "air strike" and believed that it was fabricated by the Yang clan in order to create an atmosphere of terror.

Liu Yu also stopped the air attack at the right time, making everything as if it had never happened, so that the Yang family could not speak. Because of the lag in intelligence messaging. caused a gap between the Li and Lu families and the Yang family.

Then Liu Yu deliberately sold a flaw. "Exposed" the grain routes that transported grain from the north. Let the Li family feel that there is an opportunity.

Sure enough, the Li clan sent troops to attack the northern grain route of the imperial army, but they were ambushed and suffered heavy losses. Later, the imperial army pressed the Li family's city, and the Li family hurriedly asked for help from the other two allies, and the Lu family sent reinforcements, and the Yang family chose to watch this time because the Li family did not send troops, which deepened the contradiction between the Yang family and the other Li and Lu families.

The most feared thing about the three alliances is distrust of each other. The Confederate Front is showing signs of detachment.

Subsequently, Liu Yu asked the intelligence officers to publicize in the territory of the Li and Lu families, saying that the Yang family had negotiated conditions with the imperial court, and the Yang family would be recruited on the condition that the imperial court would continue to support the Yang family as the king of the Lingnan domain. For a while, the Li and Lu leaders were suspicious and even more uncertain about the development of the situation.

In order to cooperate with this divisive plan, Liu Yu first sent troops and horses to attack the Yang family, and this round of attacks was fierce, making the Yang family think that the imperial army was going to go out and use his Yang family's territory as a breakthrough.

The fierce siege of the city for two days made the Yang family unbearable. Immediately turned to the Li and Lu families, although the Li and Lu families were suspicious of the Yang family. However, reinforcements were sent for the sake of the stability of the Allied front. As a result, less than a day after they sent reinforcements, the imperial army's attack on the Yang clan suddenly stopped, and Zhang Wuzhu's department and Liu Zhao's department suddenly attacked the external cities of Li and Lu's two Dikui, because of the haste of the incident, Li and Lu's two families could not react, and the two families lost four cities overnight, and when they reacted and transferred the reinforcements back, the imperial army had already built fortifications in the four cities, and it was easy to lose and difficult to gain, and they did not dare to be strong with the imperial army.

For a time, the relationship between the Li and Lu families and the Yang family became even worse, and they all thought that the Yang family colluded with the imperial court and deliberately transferred their reinforcements over, so that the imperial army could take advantage of it. Because the Yang clan exaggerated the strength of the imperial army to attack the city before, and the Li and Lu families later found out that the imperial army was only a small-scale nuisance, but they lost the city, and the Yang clan's credibility among the allies was gradually disintegrating.

Subsequently, in the backyard of the three alliances, chaos occurred, which made the three alliances even more preoccupied with themselves.

Because of the previous large-scale attack of the imperial army, the three families invaded the territory of other Dikui and then formed a geographically connected front, which made their rear not very stable. Coupled with the pressure of the imperial army, the three local leaders were basically cut off from external communication, their internal economic system was in a state of collapse, prices soared and military supplies were in short supply, making them all want to plunder these buffer neutral areas that were not originally their own territory, deepening the resentment between these buffer areas and the three of them.

In order to survive, the people and merchants of these buffer areas formed a small force to fight against this plunder, which caused the backyards of the three landlords to set fire. Of course, there is also the credit of the dual intelligence officers of the imperial court and Liu Liniang who fanned the flames.

With the backyard of these three Dikui on fire, the imperial army launched the fiercest attack on the Yang clan in due course, in order to completely collapse the resistance of the Yang Dikui in a battle.

On July 26, the imperial army launched four routes of soldiers and horses, with air strikes as the first, and then launched a rare siege battle, cloud ladders, building cars, siege vehicles, earth cannons and other powerful siege baggage is also in the Lingnan many battles for the first time, plus the court soldiers are accustomed to using muskets, in just two days, Yang's eight cities lost four. The Yang family asked the Li and Lu families for help many times, but they did not get a response, and when the Li and Lu families realized that this time the Yang family was not shouting "the wolf is coming" and sent reinforcements over, the imperial army had already established a strategic advantage over the three Dikui after this battle, and the defensive network built by the Yang family in the peripheral cities had collapsed, and the imperial army had torn a hole and would attack the hinterland of the three Dikui at any time.

At the same time, the fire in the backyard of the three Dikui has not been extinguished. For them, internal and external difficulties have led to unstable morale.

At this time, the imperial army did not take advantage of the victory to pursue, but chose to stand still, so that the outside world could not see through what the imperial army was going to do.

Liu Yu was not in a hurry, and he couldn't eat hot tofu in a hurry. Anyway, the materials can last until the end of August, and now it is only the end of July, if the war is fought in a hurry, it will let the three local leaders see the hole cards of the imperial court, and then they will be trapped and fighting, and they feel that they can sit back and relax at any time after the most difficult period of time, then it is not what he Liu Yu wants.

So Liu Yu started "recuperation" in a timely manner, but instead gave the three landlords time to reorganize their relationship, rebuild their own defense line, and have time to extinguish the fire in the backyard.

Sometimes the development of the war situation is like this, the more urgent, the easier it is for people to see that you are anxious, and the more they want to fight with you. And you're not in a hurry, that's in a hurry.

As the Yang clan suffered heavy losses in this battle, the power of the Yang clan also changed from the largest of the three to the smallest of the three, and the Yang clan's voice in the three alliances also decreased. Yang put forward some conditions to the other two one after another, but did not get any response, which also made Yang feel very embarrassed.

This battle made the Yang family fully see the strength of the imperial army, and also made the Yang family realize that confronting the imperial court was self-inflicted. Therefore, the Yang family, who was originally the most resolute against the imperial court, sent secret envoys to contact the imperial court after discovering that the imperial army had been in good shape and continued to be unhurried, hoping to surrender to the imperial court and retain their position.

In the big tent of the Chinese army, Liu Yu held Liu Liniang in his arms with one hand, and held the letter of intent to surrender submitted by the Yang regime with the other hand, and asked Liliniang with a smile: "Liniang, do you think the imperial court should accept Yang Jiyan's surrender?" ”

Liu Liniang said indignantly: "If I say it, of course I want to kill him, and if I keep him again, I will definitely send someone to kill him." ”

"Then we will not accept surrender, unless it is unconditional surrender. What do you think? ”

Liu Liniang smiled at Liu Yu and nodded, seemingly satisfied with Liu Yu's attitude.

"Liniang, you see that I support your opinion so much, should you repay it well?"

Liu Liniang smiled charmingly, stretched out her fragrant tongue and licked her lower lip and said, "Then the slave family and the two little sisters will repay His Majesty's affection tonight, so good?" ”

Liu Yuha smiled, here, he really enjoyed the treatment of a king. Liu Liniang said that he should be the emperor of southern Xinjiang, not casually, in fact, she also intended to do so. This also made Liu Yu enjoy all the tenderness in the past few days, and almost forgot to go back to Jiankang City to accompany Xu Xuanzhu to give birth earlier.

Liu Yu was unhurried, but he forced one of these people to be anxious, this is Liu Yu's old father, Liu Zhao, the Marquis of Dingguo.

Liu Zhao has always been very annoyed since he led his troops south, and he has been restrained by Liu Yu and other armies everywhere, and now the imperial army suddenly stopped fighting under the full advantage, which simply made him angry. So Liu Zhao sent several letters urging the war to Liu Yu's Chinese army tent a day, which made Liu Yu quite helpless.

If someone else is so ignorant, Liu Yue will send someone to reprimand him first, needless to say, if he still doesn't know each other, then he will directly dismiss his military power and make him reflect on it.

But this one is different, this is his father, a stubborn old stubbornness. Reasoning with him softly, that is playing the piano to the cow, and talking hard about majesty with him, which will make people think that he is unfilial and uses power to suppress his father.

is not a person inside and out, Liu Yu's choice is very simple, that is, to ignore it. Anyway, Liu Yu didn't expect the old border army led by Liu Zhao to have any achievements, although this group of people is also brave, fighting against the Turks in the border pass all the year round, and it can be regarded as a lot of achievements, but after all, they have backward weapons and a stubborn marshal. Liu Yue ignored it, so he let Liu Zhao make trouble by himself, he would listen to orders if he was willing to obey orders, if he didn't listen, he would be able to achieve military achievements, if it was unfavorable, Liu Yu would not be harsh, at most he would send troops to rescue.

Liu Yue saw that Liu Zhao would not listen to him if he didn't make a mistake, and Liu Zhao's character was originally not to hit the south wall and not look back.

But sometimes, Liu Yu also underestimated Liu Zhao's ability. Liu Zhaorong has a lot more experience on the battlefield than the cunning and scheming Liu Yue throughout his life, especially his control of the battle situation.

Liu Yu ignored him, Liu Zhao really couldn't bear to send troops. This dispatch of troops has instead muddied a pool of water that is about to calm down. (To be continued......)
