asked the girl to leave, Liu Yu immediately found someone to follow, but the girl's light body kung fu was very good, and she was nowhere to be found soon after she left the pass. Liu Yu, who was rewarded, was not surprised, and he had long expected that the guards would not be able to track him.

"It's weird." Liu Yu looked at Qu Ning, who had been looking at the prescription, and asked, "The medicine she prescribed, won't it be poisonous or a few flavors of medicine will clash with each other, right?" ”

Qu Ning shook his head slightly, but he didn't seem to be sure: "Although there is no poison and medicinal properties that are compatible, the acupuncture method she mentioned is not acupuncture and moxibustion, and the little woman has never heard of it." ”

Liu Yudeng was a little careful, don't be that this girl is not here to detoxify but to poison, if she accidentally gets hit, she will be stupid.

Liu Yu asked Lian Husheng to hear about the doctors in the city, and only after learning that there were indeed men from the north who came to the south before and were also unwell and the symptoms were roughly the same, he also began to follow the girl's prescription to use medicine and acupuncture, in order to recover his body as soon as possible.

The snake has no head, Liu Yu is ill, and the army has been stationed in Meiguan for the past few days, and there is no sign of advance or retreat, so that the people in the south are also watching the attitude of the imperial court, and about the order issued by Liu Yu to recruit and suppress bandits, there are few people who have temporarily responded to the call of the imperial court. What responded was only a few small and medium-sized forces, which had a good relationship with the imperial court, and several of them were originally owned by the imperial court, which was the territory of Su Yan, who was originally named the "King of the South".

Those general forces are pretending to be deaf and dumb at this time, looking at the attitudes of other forces.

"Play tricks with Lao Tzu, and when Lao Tzu recovers from his illness, he will personally lead the troops to destroy you." Liu Yu said with a bit of arrogance after getting the information.

At this time, Qu Ning was diagnosing Liu Yu, and she was not surprised when she heard Liu Yu's words. It will rain, and the soldiers will fight. Nothing wrong with her opinion. She was just extra worried about Liu Gongzi's safety.

Qu Zhu's secret agents have spread all over Lingnan, and the same imperial court has used money to buy a lot of local eyeliner to provide intelligence for the army, after more than half a month of careful investigation, Liu Yu still can't know Su Yan's whereabouts. And except for some powerful military movements of all parties, there is no news that Liu Yue wants to know about Lu Dao, such as the whereabouts of Liu Liniang and her master.

The battle had not yet begun, but Liu Yu's logistical materials had begun to become strained, and the hundreds of thousands of taels of silver that Liu Yue had obtained by embezzlement and bribery were soon stretched thin. Liu Yuzhi said that it would be very detrimental to himself and the imperial army if he continued to drag on like this.

It is necessary to fight a few tough battles first to deter the people of all forces in Lingnan.

Liu Yu's body had already improved, and he immediately convened a military meeting, with Huo Yi and Qi Fang each leading a unit, to launch a discussion and onslaught against Zhang Yao and Ma Hui, who were eyeing Meiguan, and each side led two thousand new troops, and it was necessary to open a passage from the north of Lingnan to the central and southern regions, and after uprooting Zhang Yao and Ma Hui, the two northern forces, the other northern forces would not be afraid.

Qi Fang had long regarded marching and fighting as a daily routine, and he didn't feel anything. With the combat strength of 2,000 new troops, it is not difficult to exterminate Zhang Yao and Ma Hui. What's more, there is also a Huo disease. Liu Yu looked at Huo Yuan, who was eager to try, and said to Juntu Nunu on the table: "You pick one side yourself, where are you willing to fight?" ”

Huo Yi raised his head and said arrogantly: "Can I destroy these two families?" ”

"That's a good relationship, but what if you lose?" Liu Yu asked in an unkind tone.

"It should ...... Not really......" With the experience of being trapped in Yuzhou City for three months, Huo Yi's self-confidence seems to have weakened a lot, and he seems to have lost his confidence when he was bluffed by Liu Yu.

Liu Yue knew that it was useless to talk to Huo Yi again, and ordered: "General Yunjin will take Zhang Yao's department as the main battle direction, and attack from the two cities of Kaihua and Maoling. ”

Although Qi Fang and Huo Yi received the order, Huo Yi was still a little unhappy in his heart, and Liu Yu's words about not fighting hard were not in line with his consistent actions.

And Qi Fang, as a brave and resourceful general, is also doubting Liu Yu's strategic intentions, since Liu Yu wants to establish power, that is, to take these two powerful cities with the power of thunder, but Liu Yu said that he can't fight hard, it seems that he was afraid of war before the war. If it is changed to other wars, Liu Yu may be worried that the logistics grain and grass will not be able to help, and the protection of the logistics grain and grass in the hard war will be missing, but now it is such a projectile-sized place in the north of Lingnan, from Meiguan to Zhang Yao and Ma Hui, the range of strength is only 100 miles, as long as you are a little careful, it can be said that you can attack and retreat.

Once Liu Yu's strategy can't be explained, then Qi Yi realizes that Liu Yu should still have a backhand.

Sure enough, at the same time that Qi Fang and Huo Yi went south to capture Zhang Yao and Ma Hui, Liu Yu sent another "surprise army", first destroying Zhang Yao's vassal Hanjiang with lightning speed, and then using this route of about 1,000 soldiers and horses to go around to the south of Zhang Yao and Ma Hui's strength, and came to a roundabout battle, only two days, Zhang Yao and Ma Hui's army cowered in their own city and did not dare to move an inch.

Because Qi Fang and Huo Yi both received Liu Yu's instructions not to fight hard, even if Huo Yi was impulsive before, after experiencing the difficulty of Yuzhou, he also learned to be obedient, and if he didn't attack, he didn't attack, which was mainly the result of his own lack of confidence in these strange-shaped cities in Lingnan.

The cities of Lingnan are not as high-walled gatehouses with battlements and moats as in the north, and the walls of the southern cities are low, but their defenses are not weak. The low city walls combined with the defenders' arrow-rain tactics and timely attacks were not small, at least making the musket team of the new army useless.

Originally, Zhang Yao and Ma Hui's defenders were guarding the city, and there were other powerful armies to support each other, so it can be said that they waited for the imperial army to retreat by themselves, but after being cut off by the imperial army's surprise soldiers, the defenders' momentum weakened significantly. At this time, the deterrent power of the imperial army's earthen artillery also came out, and the continuous shelling for an hour made the already not very solid city wall of Lingnan City crumbling. In the absence of follow-up support, the judgment is made.

Liu Yu did not continue to order a strong attack, which was not in the interests of the imperial court, not to mention the heavy casualties and a special waste of ammunition. On the day of the bombardment, on the night of the eighth day of the fifth month, Liu Yu sent people to send a letter to the city to surrender. When the entire city was besieged, there were no reinforcements after that, and the imperial army had powerful long-range siege artillery, Liu Yu was not afraid that Zhang Yao and Ma Hui in the city would not give in.

Sure enough, the day after the letter entered the city, the city sent envoys to express their willingness to submit to the imperial court and cooperate with the imperial court to suppress bandits.

Qi Fang and Huo were able to enter the city and successfully took down the two most difficult bones in the northern region of Lingnan. (To be continued......)
