On April 16, Liu Yu left Jiankang City and officially led his troops south. The four-way army marched together, claiming to be 300,000 people who went south to quell the rebellion.

But no one knows who this "counterinsurgency" is, and even Liu Yu himself is a mess in his head.

Liu Yu didn't have much military supplies on hand, no silver, and no military rations, this battle was just a momentum at most, and Liu Yu was not ready to make a big move.

Although it was 300,000 to the outside world, Liu Yue knew that there were only 50,000 soldiers and horses. Originally, with Liu Yu's silver, 10,000 soldiers and horses could barely fight in southern Xinjiang for half a year, but now 50,000 soldiers and horses are dispatched at once, which means that it must be resolved quickly and within a month.

Of course, Liu Yu also knows that it is a fantasy to calm down the south in a month.

Among the 50,000 soldiers and horses, more than 40,000 soldiers and horses are local garrison troops in Jiangnan that bring their own food, which belong to Liu Yu's temporary gathering to make a strong reputation, and several thousand of them are garrisons in Jiangnan.

However, Liu Yu's dispatch of troops still frightened the powerful people in the south.

The momentum is too great, and Liu Yu's prestige is too great, and people of all forces in the south are afraid that they are the ones who are surrounded and suppressed.

Liu Yu said that he wanted to go south to quell the rebellion, but everything was calm in the south, only a group of "mountain bandits of unknown origin" around Yuzhou City in Lingbei, who were in trouble with General Huo Da and Zhang Wuzhu's troops, and there was no force to claim responsibility for this group of "mountain bandits of unknown origin", and they all refused to send troops to aid Yuzhou City on the grounds that "foreign races in southern Xinjiang are troubled and cannot be dispatched troops and horses". As a result, there were imperial court troops everywhere around Yuzhou City. I was stunned within three months of being besieged. Not a single reinforcement came to help.

It is not so much that Liu Yue came to quell the rebellion, but that Liu Yue came to settle accounts after the autumn.

Less than three days after Liu Yu's departure, no less than five powerful forces in the south had already announced that they would support the imperial court's "counterinsurgency", and they said that they would send reinforcements to help the imperial court exterminate the "alien race". And then they made it clear in the notebook that it was a group of aliens.

It's a lot of words, but they're all avoiding a question. That is how the armed forces of the ethnic minorities in the south will pass through the many checkpoints they have set up in Wuling to come to the north, if there are only ten or eight intruders, this group of "mountain bandits of unknown origin" is not under a thousand people. Probably later, they also felt that Liu Yue would definitely not buy it if they pushed it like this, so later they simply pushed the charge of "negligence" to the heads of other powerful forces.

In short, before coming, all the armed forces in the south were trying their best to dissociate themselves from the "rebels" and strongly supported Liu Yu's counterinsurgency army to move south.

But in Liu Yu's heart, no matter what this group of people said, he was determined to capture them. No matter whose sin it is, there will be no mistake in taking it all, and the south will be stable when the time comes. There is no such thing as rebellion or rebellion. Later, consider the co-optation of ethnic minorities. This requires a combination of grace and power, with grace as the mainstay, and military operations in parallel to achieve the goal of resolving national grievances.

In Jiangbei, Liu Yue followed the Son of Heaven Luan, and he didn't go fast along the way, as if he was playing in the mountains and rivers, and the people in the south thought that Liu Yue might want to go south, and they didn't pay enough attention to it. But after Liu Yu crossed the Yangtze River, the speed of the march exceeded the expectations of the people in the south, but in four days, Liu Yu was less than two hundred miles away from Yuzhou City, and it can be said that Liu Yu could kill any of the five mountains at any time.

However, after four days of rapid marching, Liu Yu temporarily entered a one-day rest period, and he only traveled forty or fifty miles in this day, mainly because there were many mountain roads in a section further south, and there were few gentle official roads, and Liu Yuzhong's army was not a few, and at the same time, Liu Yu was also preventing being attacked by "mountain bandits of unknown origin".

People in the south are thinking about which direction Liu Yu will start from Wuling, but Liu Yu didn't think about this problem, Liu Yu's first destination on this trip is Yuzhou City, he wants to fish Huo out of the pit first, although it is a thatched pit, he may not be able to get out in the past, but he still has the confidence to be a "fisherman on the pit".

After April, there is more rain in the south of the Yangtze River, especially near Wuling, and the rain has an endless appearance. Liu Yu was not in a hurry to let the vanguard go to aid Yuzhou, but step by step, with a large-scale pressure strategy, every place passed, it was necessary to ensure that there were no rebels and no unknown armed forces in the place, so it was simply 50,000 troops to go south to save a small Yuzhou city.

Liu Yu left all his female dependents in Jiankang City, but he did not leave the senior martial artists he trusted to guard Jiankang City in the future, and the guards of Jiankang City are now completely in charge of Xu Xuanzhu, and with Xu Xuanzhu guarding his rear, Liu Yu also feels at ease. And what Xu Xuanzhu could mobilize was about 10,000 defenders around Jiankang City, as well as thousands of soldiers and horses in the female army.

In the entire army going south, there was only one woman, and it was also Qu Ning, a military doctor specially recruited by Liu Yu to "labor army". Liu Yu said that he would take her to Liu Liniang, but now he is just fulfilling his promise.

At this time, Qu Ning, after a few days of rapid marching, her body has obviously not been able to support it, although she has a strong appearance, but she is just a little woman, for a breath and the miss of the lover in her dreams, she has supported Liu Yu to go south, she has tasted the hardships of the journey in the past few days.

After a slow march for half a day, at noon, Liu Yu camped in the mountains and fields of about 170 miles north of Yuzhou City, because the rain was getting heavier and heavier, Liu Yue was ready to set off on the second day after being stationed for a day, in the mountains, Liu Yue was afraid of being attacked, so he first arranged a defense line about 20 miles long, and a reconnaissance line 100 miles deep, before returning to the main camp, and at this time Qu Ning was dragging his tired body, wearing a hat in front of the camp tent to make a fire alone.

Because Qu Ning was the only woman in the army, other male soldiers did not dare to approach her, and she had to do everything by herself. Of course, there are many inconveniences along the way, such as Izuku. And in the past few days, she has not even had the opportunity to take a bath, and she has also suffered from a little illness when she is drenched in this rain.

"What's the matter, Miss Qu, the road with the army is not easy, and this taste is not pleasant, right?" Liu Yu stepped forward with a mocking smile, "If you can't hold it, just turn back, it should be too late." Further south, into the war zone, it is not a matter of turning back if you want to. ”

Qu Ning heard Liu Yu's voice, with a sense of hatred, this time Liu Yu said to take her to find "Liu Gongzi", originally thought that Liu Gongzi was in Jiankang City, who knew that Liu Dao arrived in Jiankang City Liu Yu said that "Liu Gongzi" was in the south, and asked her provocatively if she dared to go south, Qu Ning of course refused to bow her head in front of Liu Yu. So she made the biggest mistake in her life and chose to join the army as a military doctor.

"No need for His Highness to fake kindness." Qu Ning stood up and said, "The little woman can still hold on, but I hope that His Royal Highness did not deceive the little woman......"

"How could I lie to you? Your Liu Gongzi is indeed in the south, otherwise what did this king bring you for? Do you want to come to the labor army? ”

Qu Ning heard the words "Lao Jun", his face was a little ugly, although there was no "Lao Jun" woman in the Shun Dynasty, but in the former Dynasty, saying that a woman "Lao Jun" was tantamount to saying that she was a prostitute in the army. Liu Yu explained that he wanted to show her face (to be continued......)
