Chapter 571: The Battle of Lanping (Part II)
To fight the remnants of Annan's army, it is not difficult for the imperial army, there are Zhang Wuzhu and Huo Yi people to take care of each other, and the possibility of accidents is very small. After looking at the topographic map in detail, Liu Yu was considering whether to directly send troops south and take the border of Annan.
It's exciting to think about the war, the struggle for territory and the establishment of meritorious deeds. However, Liu Yu still abandoned this idea, at this time the southern Xinjiang has not yet subsided, and the local military situation in Lingnan is still eyeing the tiger, and if you want to start a war, you must also distinguish the priority.
The battle was quite smooth, the two divisions of the imperial army entered the valley of the east of Dongyue Mountain, Annan's army was defeated again after the initial battle, a large number of stragglers fled to the south, Huo Yi led the soldiers and horses to chase for dozens of miles, killed nearly 1,000 enemies, and captured more than 600 prisoners. On the one hand, Huo Ying was chasing the enemy, while Zhang Wuzhu led his troops into Nanmiao's gathering place.
On the second day of the battle, on the second day of the seventh month, the remnants of resistance in the land of Nanmiao were also broken up by the combined forces of Zhongmiao and Zhang Wuzhu, and the area between the south of the Yueling Mountains and the border of Annam was completely quelled.
The victory should have been a time to celebrate, but Liu Yu was a little unhappy. This time he went south, in order to contact the ethnic minorities to resist the local military force, and then to get Liu Liniang done, now it seems that these two tasks have not been completed well. The local military strength can't withstand the beating, and he doesn't need the support of the southern ethnic minorities to be in turmoil, but Liu Liniang is so scheming, she only knows that Lu Dao uses him. This made Liu Yu feel like he had gone for nothing.
Fortunately, Liu Yu met a well-behaved and lovely Duo Lin in Lingnan, and Mi Er seemed to be very interesting to him, and Liu Yu was also considering whether to directly bring the pair of Yue sisters back to Chang'an City.
It's not easy either. Now one of Liu Yu's wives. Qi'er is already the empress of the Great Shun Dynasty. And he casually took women back outside, and he didn't know what those historians and counselors who had a grudge against him would say or write.
On the third day of the seventh month, Huo's department returned to Zhongmiao Dazhai in Lanping first, and at the same time brought more than 600 prisoners from Annan, including the marshal of the Annan army, Huki Baga.
After a few months of dormancy in Yuzhou City, Huo Yi rarely had the opportunity to prove himself on the battlefield, so this victory also made him very complacent, and he looked arrogant everywhere he went. But see Liu Yu. Huo Yi came over to salute very honestly, with a playful smile on his face.
"Capture a big handsome, what is his name Toki Baga, he is a very famous general in their Annan, am I amazing?" After Huo Yi finished saluting, he began to pose to Liu Yuxian again.
"Do you think you're very capable?" Liu Yue asked coldly.
"Of course, otherwise, who can win so easily?"
Liu Yu ignored the complacent Huo Disease, the defeat of the remnants of Annan should indeed not be an obstacle to the pacification of southern Xinjiang by the imperial army. Huo is a little too carried away.
Liu Yu interrogated Annan's captives and learned that this Toki Baga was indeed one of Annan's most famous generals. Liu Yu didn't pay much attention to it, Liu Yu estimated that Annan's side should send a messenger to discuss the issue of prisoners, and Liu Yu only waited for the time to knock on the mark.
Liu Yu has been waiting for the return of Zhang Wuzhu's subordinates, so that they can go north together and leave Lanping. But Liu Yu also knew that Zhang Wuzhu's department had just destroyed several gathering places in Nanmiao, and according to the rules, the clansmen of the defeated nation were to be escorted back to Lingbei as slaves, and then sent to various places by the imperial court, so it was benevolent and did not hurt people's lives, but according to the past situation, such a large-scale migration would not only completely tear apart the defeated ethnic minorities, but also cause a large number of livestock and population to die.
Liu Yu didn't want to bring these Nanmiao people to Lingbei, which was neither benevolent nor in line with his interests, so it was better to hand them over to the Zhongmiao people to settle. Although Zhongmiao and Nanmiao have a certain amount of grudges, the Miao people are originally a family, as long as some of Nanmiao's conspirators are uprooted, Nanmiao will also settle down in Nanjiang.
Once.
Liu Yu had an idea in his heart, and he didn't tell Liu Liniang yet, but Liu Liniang came to meet Liu Yu that night and discussed with Liu Yu the disposal of the Southern Miao people.
"Oh? Southern Hmong? They came to attack Lanping, wanting to seize the land and people and animals of your Zhongmiao, and now it is the imperial court that has pacified the land of Nanmiao, do you need Nong Aluo to work hard? Liu Yu said disdainfully.
Liu Liniang was quite helpless, she also knew that Liu Yu was angry with her now, and she wouldn't discuss anything with her.
"Don't the general think that moving the Southern Miao people to the north will cost the people and money, and it will still bring a burden to the imperial court?"
Liu Liniang said the same as Liu Yue thought, but at this time, Liu Yue was annoyed and his attitude was not good.
"Nan Miao and other alien races, with the imperial court as enemies, now they are defeated, so many people and animals, is the spoils of my imperial court, no matter how worthless they are, they can create wealth for the imperial court to reclaim the wilderness, and this only needs a small amount of rations. Will this be a burden on the imperial court? ”
Liu Liniang said with helplessness on her face: "It turns out that in the general's heart, our alien race in Lingnan is just like livestock, just as cattle and horses for the imperial court. ”
When Liu Yu said this, he didn't have a reason to change his words, and nodded: "Almost." ”
Liu Liniang's face showed a little disappointment in Liu Yu, and she turned away angrily, and Liu Yu was also angry. This Liu Liniang, knowing that Lu Dao was in a cold war with him, came over to show her eyes and find ugly words to listen to.
Liu Yu came out of the big tent at night and prepared to rest in his tent, when he saw the bonfire outside Zhongmiao Dazhai, and the crowd seemed to be very lively.
"What's the situation?" Liu Yu asked Lian Husheng on the side.
Lian Husheng said: "Back to the general, there seems to be a conference on the Miao side, should we go over and have a look?" ”
Liu Yu thought about it, could it be about the question of the belonging of the elders? Now that the war is not over, the elder of Dali must be unresolved, but the problem of Zhongmiao's elder must be solved. The temporary acting elder has been shot twice and is almost like a half-dead man, if Liu Liniang becomes the elder, it should help the relationship between Miao and Han in the future.
"Take someone over and have a look." Liu Yudao.
Originally, it was Zhongmiao's own business, and the tribes such as Beimiao and Bai did not come to participate, but Liu Yu took the army over to watch the excitement. It is said to be lively, but in the eyes of the Middle Miao people, this is a bit of a suppression. When the soldiers of the imperial court arrived at the scene, the originally crowded Zhong Miao people had dispersed a lot.
Liu Yu was outside, and he didn't see Liu Liniang, who had left before, but just a few Zhongmiao's Ga Luo talking there.
"General, I don't know what's going on?" A Galio came over and asked Liu Yu.
"I'm here to ask you what's going on, you need to make such a big show?"
The man smiled and said, "This is an internal matter of our clan, and the general is a related person, so it seems that it is not appropriate to attend!" ”
This was said very politely, but the content was very impolite, and Lian Yusheng immediately asked: "Why can't my general attend?" ”
Liu Yu thought to himself, could it be the funeral of the former middle-aged Miao Dali?
Liu Yu stopped Lian Husheng's rudeness and said, "Everyone has said that I am a related person...... Hey! When did I become a stakeholder of something, etc.? ”
"That's it...... You talk to our Arrow......"
Liu Yu blinked, and then he realized that "Aluo" is Liu Liniang, ordinary Miao people, they can't call Liu Liniang "Nong Aluo", just like they can't call the emperor and princess by their surnames, only the high-level and family members of Zhongmiao have such qualifications.
"What is it?" Liu Yu asked.
"This, please forgive me for not being able to tell you, the general should go back first, a little later, there should be news."
Liu Yu remembered that Liu Liniang had told him two days ago that she was going to be burned to death by fire, could it be related to this incident? Now that the war is over, it's Zhongmiao's turn to liquidate Liu Liniang?
"No way!" Liu Yu said with a tough attitude, "You also said that it would be a related person, and it would be your Luo man, which she admitted personally." Get out of the way! ”
Naga didn't expect Liu Yu's attitude to be so strong, it was simply unreasonable, and he went directly to the council hall next to the central building of Zhongmiao Dazhai, and the people of Zhongmiao wanted to stop him, but when they saw Liu Yu's murderous appearance, they all retreated timidly. In the past few days, the people of Zhongmiao have thoroughly seen the difference between the powerful imperial army and those mountain bandits, and they also know that this group of people cannot be provoked.
If there is no leader, no one dares to stop Liu Yu from breaking into the Zhongmiao Village.
The meeting hall of Zhong Miao is next to the mound building, it is a wooden building about the same size as the ordinary Miao house, Liu Yu came to the door, some of the Zhong Miao people standing at the door were shocked, and then saw the old men of the Galuo village of Zhong Miao can only be in the back, and they are also very familiar to get out of the way.
The lights in the council hall were bright, as if a "trial meeting" was going on, Liu Yue broke in again, and a small figure came out of the door, it was Xiao Lori, who had a lot of relationship with him before, and she was also Nongduo's daughter.
"You...... What are you here to do? Different from the arrogance of the girl when she saw Liu Yu before, this time the girl saw him with a somewhat timid attitude.
"It's nothing, get out of the way!" Liu Yu pushed away the little Lori who was blocking the way, and broke into the door of the Miao Village Council Hall alone.
Before the curtain was lifted, Galio and Zhai Lao behind him were still persuading Liu Yu.
As soon as Liu Yu entered the door, he felt that the lights were bright, and then he heard the woman "Ah! "A scream, as if there was more than one.
Liu Yu looked at it clearly, only to realize that the house was full of women, and they were all Miao girls dressed in Miao festivals. And these women are old and young, there is a bed and chair in the middle, and there is a woman lying on it, it is Liu Liniang, who has come to see Liu Yu before. Unlike the woman standing next to her, Liu Liniang was covered with a white cloth like a sheet, and Liu Liniang was also frowning and looking at him when she saw Liu Yu.
"General, what are you doing?" Liu Liniang covered the cloth tighter and asked.
"General Ben should ask what you're doing!" Liu Yu stepped forward and was about to pull Liu Liniang out of the room to ask, only to find that Liu Liniang under the sheets was not wearing clothes. (To be continued......)
