Chapter 185 Pacify the Three Mansions

sent Chu Wei to Yangshan Mansion, Lu Yuan continued to stay in Fucheng for a day, and then waited for 10,000 people from Hengyang Mansion, and then nearly 1,000 soldiers and horses who were left behind also rushed over one after another.

left 1,000 soldiers and horses and 5,000 people to guard the Nine Doubts Mansion, and then sent the remaining 5,000 people to Yangshan Mansion, so that they could chase the Chu Wei army from behind and take over the captured cities.

After arranging all this, Lu Yuan took Yan Wangqiu and led the remaining 5,000 elite soldiers to attack Lingling Mansion in the west.

After a delay of two or three days in the Nine Doubts Mansion, the news of the attack of the imperial court has reached the Lingling Mansion.

Therefore, although Lu Yuan had already tried his best to be as fast as possible, by the time he reached Lingling Mansion, the Miao people here had obviously taken precautions.

But even if there are precautions, all the Miao people in the entire Lingling Mansion add up, and there are only more than 3,000 people.

Just this little bit of soldiers and horses are scattered to ten cities in the whole province, and no matter how much they defend, the power they have is limited.

Under the siege routine of Lu Yuan himself taking the lead and the elite soldiers following him, there was almost no enemy in the entire Lingling Mansion.

Later, even if the Miao people of Lingling Mansion City urgently gathered 2,000 soldiers and horses to guard it, but under Yan Wangqiu's Wan Tao Foreign Minister, after hundreds of people were killed, the whole army was directly dispersed, and the Mansion City was immediately defeated.

And at this time, it was only two days before Lu Yuan entered Lingling Mansion, but he had already conquered three cities.

In the remaining counties of the prefecture, the Miao garrison has also been exhausted, and only one hundred and ten people need to be sent over to easily take over the city defense.

However, Lu Yuan was not interested in doing these flag planting things, but handed them over to the second batch of Hengyang people who arrived.

After dividing 5,000 people and letting a few named disciples take them to the county seats, Lu Yuan's energy was diverted from here.

Lingling City, inside the palace.

In the lobby, Lu Yuan stared at a Miao man who was kneeling on the ground with his hands tied below, and asked with a cold expression, "What you said is true?" ”

This Miao person is none other than Lei Tongtian, the town guard elder left in Lingling Mansion by the Five Poisons Sect. The strength is probably at the peak of the second rate, and he has practiced through the ten meridians.

When he entered the city, after this person saw Yan Wangqiu, the innate grandmaster, he was instantly frightened, and he didn't dare to resist at all, so he directly knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.

So Lu Yuan asked for the news of the torture, and did not kill him directly, but spared his life.

Unexpectedly, this move has really been rewarding.

"Back to the general, what the villain said is true."

Lei Tongtian kowtowed heavily on the ground, and said flatteringly: "Just the day before yesterday, after discovering that the general had attacked the Nine Doubts Mansion, the villain quickly sent someone to summon Elder Yang, and urgently sent troops to withdraw to assist in the defense.

Now that two days have passed, the news should have reached the army of Shaoyang Mansion.

At this moment, Elder Yang should have led his troops back, and it would not take two days to withdraw to Lingling Mansion.

If the general leads his troops north now, he may intercept the army in Dong'an County.

The territory of Dong'an County is mountainous, and the road leading to Lingling was cut off by Xiangshui, and Elder Yang led the army back, and he had to pass through the mountains and rivers.

If the general takes this opportunity to ambush him, he will definitely be able to cut it off before and after, and if he crosses it halfway, he will be defeated. ”

In order to save his life, Lei Tongtian couldn't take care of it much.

began to actively give advice and help Lu Yuan find a way to defeat his fellow clansmen.

"Good!" After hearing this, Lu Yuan couldn't help but look happy, looked at the Miao elder below with appreciation, and personally untied the rope for him: "If this time you can really do what you say, help me defeat the 50,000 Miao army commanded by Yang Yujin."

After this battle, then, I will not only forgive you for the sin of rebellion, but also give you a great official position to serve as a lieutenant. ”

This Elder Yang in Lei Tongtian's mouth is Elder Yang Yujin, one of the newly promoted left and right elders in the Five Poisons Sect, and his strength has reached the top level in the rivers and lakes.

Now, after the right protector who was originally in charge of the affairs of the three southern provinces was transferred back to the Qianling General Altar, this Elder Zuo became the de facto governor of the three southern provinces, in charge of all military and political affairs of the three prefectures of Jiuyi, Lingling, and Yangshan.

Therefore, if he can lead the army to defeat this Elder Zuo of the Five Poisons Sect and capture Yang Yujin this time, then the three southern mansions occupied by the Miao people will completely fall into the chaos of the dragons and leaders.

This was undoubtedly of great help to Lu Yuan's plan to quickly exterminate the Miao people and recover the three provinces.

Originally, Lu Yuan's plan to deal with Yang Yujin was to defend the city after occupying Lingling Mansion City.

After Yang Yujin met under the city and broke his head and bleed, his morale was greatly weakened, and his soldiers were defeated.

Li Liang then led 20,000 soldiers from Wugang County to support, and the master and apprentice attacked inside and outside, using 25,000 elite soldiers to break the 50,000 Miao soldiers in Yang Yujin's hands.

But now it seems.

With the dedication of this Miao traitor, maybe there is no need to be so troublesome, and at this time, he can rely on the 5,000 soldiers and 5,000 people in his hands to clean up the 50,000 Miao soldiers in Yang Yujin's hands.

And to make such a contribution, rewarding this Lei Tongtian as a lieutenant is nothing, just about a sixth-grade official.

"And these Miao people are so unbearable, this victory is so neat, the original plan to slaughter the Miao people in Sanfu may also be changed.

Although the Miao people are unruly, not all of them are hard-headed and not afraid of death.

If you can collect some of these people who are greedy for life and fear death, and then pick out some people from them to lead, it can be regarded as a good batch of cannon fodder.

This thunderstorm may be used to give it a try and see if the plan is feasible. ”

Lu Yuan thought so in his heart.

Lei Tongtian below, after getting his promise again, was immediately overjoyed, and knocked his head several times in succession, and said: "Please rest assured, the villain has long suffered from the Five Poisons Sect."

The reason why he was a thief before was because he was coerced by him and had to do it as a last resort.

Now I can see the heavenly army of the imperial court, and I have the grace of the general, and I will not die.

The villain will do his best in the future, serve the court, serve the general, and die a hundred times! ”

Lei Tongtian looked grateful, and swore solemnly.

Lu Yuan listened to his words, just smiled, didn't respond much, just said: "Elder Lei can abandon the darkness and turn to the light, and break with those traitors, he can be described as a person who understands the times.

Elder Lei is the guard of this place, and he should know which places in the local area are suitable for ambushes and where are suitable for half-crossing attacks.

Now that Elder Lei has surrendered to the imperial court, it is better to consult with me in detail and make a plan. ”

This is asking for a letter of nomination.

As long as Lei Tongtian follows this matter, then he will never be able to turn back in the future, with so many blood stains on his hands.

Lei Tongtian also naturally understood this, and knew that this was the last test before he threw himself into the imperial court, so he also said with an awe-inspiring expression: "General Hui, in Dong'an County, if you want to say that the mountains suitable for ambushes, the first recommendation is naturally Yuecheng Mountain." This mountain is located in the east of the county seat......"

In the hall, Lei Tongtian opened the map of Lingling Mansion and began to explain the local geography to Lu Yuan in detail, as well as the ambush plan he formulated based on the geography.

Lu Yuan listened from the sidelines and couldn't help nodding his head again and again.

I have to say that in terms of setting up ambush people, Lei Tongtian, an earthly snake, is far better than himself, an outsider.

And after surrendering, the other party dealt with his own clan in order to have a future, which was really ruthless.

At this time, when the ambush is made, some ruthless killing moves.

and after collecting the Miao captives, how to deal with the attack, which people should be cleaned up, and which people could be co-opted, all of them were said in an orderly manner, which made Lu Yuan greatly impressed.

According to this Lei Tongtian's plan, it is really simple to defeat Yang Yujin's 50,000 Miao soldiers this time.

And after defeating the Miao soldiers, the matter of collecting and surrendering the prisoners is also promising.

Although it is impossible to take all 50,000 people, it is still very promising to leave behind 10,000 or 20,000 reliable traitors.

So under the promising prospects, Lu Yuan couldn't help but clapp: "Okay, just do as you say." ”

……

The next day, Lu Yuan left more than 1,000 people to stay in Lingling Mansion City, and then took 5,000 elite soldiers and 4,000 people to the west and rushed to Dong'an County.

After arriving in this county, there is a mighty Xiangshui in front of you, which divides Dong'an County into east and west.

According to the plan, Lu Yuan left two thousand elite soldiers and six thousand people here, let a disciple lead him, and ambushed him in the woods of Jiangdong, staring at the ferry.

Then he led 3,000 elite soldiers, together with Yan Wangqiu, around the river upstream, and then to the south, to the Yuecheng Mountain behind the ferry, and ambushed on both sides of this mountain.

If Yang Yujin wants to withdraw his troops from Shaoyang Mansion and return to Lingling Mansion City, he will inevitably pass through Dong'an County. And from Dong'an County to Linglingfu City, you will inevitably pass through Yuecheng Mountain, and then cross the river from the Xiangshui ferry on the east side of Yuecheng Mountain.

Therefore, Lu Yuan asked people to stay on the east side of the ferry, waiting for Yang Yujin's troops to cross the river, and on the other hand, he ambushed on the mountain behind the ferry, and waited for the enemy troops to pass by, and came to ambush.

With such a thief, the army is divided into two sections, and it is attacked from the front and back, and it is bound to be in chaos.

With Lu Yuan and Yan Wangqiu taking the lead, even if the Miao people are five times their number, it will not be difficult to break them.

……

Just as Lu Yuan's side was in full swing and began to arrange an ambush, at the junction of Xinning County, Shaoyang Prefecture and Dong'an County, Lingling Prefecture, an army of tens of thousands was rapidly marching.

"Elder, those Yue Ren Sentinels are forcing over again."

In the march of the army, Yang Yujin rode a horse to drive the road, and at this time, a subordinate next to him came over and pointed to a group of more than a dozen Vietnamese cavalry in the distance and said.

Since the day before yesterday, Yang Yujin received the news that the Yue people had attacked the Nine Doubts Mansion and attacked the city in the rear, and the troops were approaching Lingling Mansion.

This Elder of the Five Poisons Sect, who was in charge of the three southern governors, couldn't help but be shocked.

Yang Yujin knew that if the rear Sanfu was lost.

No, even as long as the Nine Doubts Mansion is lost, then Lingling Mansion and Yangshan Mansion will fall into the difficult situation of being isolated and fighting separately.

However, the Yue people mobilized troops and horses, and they could calmly deal with Lingling Mansion and Yangshan Mansion, and defeat each of the two places.

If this matter is really allowed to come true, then Yang Yujin, who is deeply trusted by the sect leader, will really die and cannot be redeemed.

Therefore, after learning the news, he did not dare to hesitate at all, and he no longer had the mind to entangle with the group of Vietnamese troops in Wugang County.

led the soldiers and horses, and began to evacuate.

However, the group of Vietnamese troops in Wugang County seemed to have expected his withdrawal for a long time.

After seeing that Yang Yujin wanted to escape, he immediately sent an army to entangle, forcing him to leave 5,000 dead soldiers to delay and block the pursuit of the Yue people.

Then in the two counties of Resources and Suining, 3,000 soldiers and horses were left behind to be used as nails to clamp down on the Yue people.

So that they can't drive straight in, and follow all the way.

After making so many preparations, Yang Yujin finally led less than 40,000 soldiers and horses to withdraw from Shaoyang Mansion.

But even so, the light horsemen who were as few as a dozen and as many as hundreds of them kept chasing after them like flies. From time to time, they harassed the army, desperately blocking the speed of their withdrawal.

And Yue Ren's posture made Yang Yujin even more flustered.

The Yue people didn't want him to withdraw their troops, there was no doubt that it was to help the Yue officers and soldiers who broke into the Nine Doubts Mansion to buy time.

If his side really let the Yue people succeed, the speed was a little slower, and when the officers and soldiers captured the Nine Doubts Mansion, or even the soldiers came to the Lingling Mansion, then everything would be over.

Yang Yujin glanced at the distance, rushed up while making a gesture, but quickly retreated, from time to time he wanted to intimidate himself, waved the Yue cavalry, and snorted coldly: "Don't care about those Yue people."

There are only a dozen or dozens of them, and they can't make the climate.

Let some of the good hands in the sect keep an eye on the defense, and really dare to rush over and kill them directly. ”

"Yes." The subordinate who came over answered, and then went down to arrange for manpower.

In terms of martial arts masters, especially second- and third-rate martial artists, there is still no shortage of the Five Poisons Sect.

Among the tens of thousands of troops under Yang Yujin's command, there are twenty or thirty second-rate masters, and there are even more than 100 third-rate masters.

Ignoring the harassing rangers, Yang Yujin led the army and soon headed towards the county seat of Dong'an.

By noon, the army had arrived at the county seat.

Yang Yujin sent a message to the guards in the city to inquire about the situation at this time.

Because Lu Yuan captured Lingling Mansion City at an extremely fast speed, and then quickly blocked the news, so at this time, the situation in Dong'an County was not very clear.

In the face of Yang Yujin's inquiry, he only said that outside the city of Lingling Mansion, there were already Yue people, the thieves were very heavy, and there were 2,000 defenders in the city, and now the battle situation is unknown.

When this Elder Zuo heard the news, he couldn't help but feel even more anxious.

"Those Yue people have hit Lingling Mansion City, and the Nine Doubts Mansion must have fallen. The thieves came so quickly, if they were allowed to get Lingling Mansion City again, then everything would be over, and we would all die without a burial. ”

Yang Yujin sighed, and then he originally wanted to rest in the city, but the idea of setting off again after lunch was gone.

Picking up the already exhausted army, in a state of complaint, he continued to hurry.

Lingling Mansion City was in danger at this time, if he didn't lead his troops to the city to rescue earlier, I was afraid that he would really lose it.

In order to get to the city as soon as possible, the soldiers could only be tired at this time.

Because the news is not clear, at this time, in Yang Yujin's impression, there are 2,000 defenders in Linglingfu City, and they should still be holding on.

After all, if there is no innate master, or such a top-notch first-class attack, then it is not easy to have an ordinary first-class martial artist as a sharp knife, and it is not easy to break through a palace city guarded by 2,000 people.

Therefore, Yang Yujin subconsciously thought that the Yue people should still be stepping up the siege at this time, and there should be no enemies in Dong'an County.

So this gallop, in order to save time, I didn't send time to investigate, so I took the liberty of leading the army all the way.

So when it was close to evening, the vanguard of the army finally arrived at the Xiangshui ferry at the foot of Yuecheng Mountain.

At this time, there was no one in sight on the ferry, and there was a dead silence.

However, now that the army is in chaos, it is normal for the people to hide and not dare to go out.

Yang Yujin watched for a while, but found no problems, and then ordered his army: "After crossing the river today, we will set up camp on the east bank, rest for the night, and camp again tomorrow." ”

After crossing the river, the opposite side is the Linglingfu City area, and there are no more people to explore and ride.

Now his men and horses have been driving for a day, all of them are sleepy and tired, and it is getting dark, and it is impossible to venture under the city of Fu.

Therefore, it is a safe way to go to the camp first and fight after dawn on the second day.

And after getting this order, the Miao people below couldn't help but cheer one by one.

After a tiring day, I was finally able to rest.

Therefore, no matter how tired they were, they also cheered up, gathered the boats at the dock, and began to cross to the east of the river.

However, the Miao people are scattered, there is no military discipline constraints, and some of the people who are good in water even jump directly into the river, swimming in the river, and at the same time using the river water to wash away the sweat and fatigue on their bodies.

Yang Yujin looked at this scene, but he didn't stop it.

The brothers are tired and want to take a cool bath at this time, can they still stop it?

In this way, it took about half an hour for nearly 10,000 people to cross the river.

And more than half of the rear army also passed through Yuecheng Mountain.

And then.

"Kill the thief!"

"There's an ambush!"

"Kill!"

Winter, winter, winter! Rumble!

A series of noisy shouts, golden drums in unison, screams and roars, instantly resounded in the mountain road of Yuecheng Mountain behind.

Yang Yujin turned around and saw that there were many Yue officers and soldiers, who threw rolling stones and huge trees from the mountain at this time, threw torches and arrows and missed, and rushed at the army under his command.

Unprepared, the already exhausted Miao soldiers, who were attacked by this assault, were immediately panicked, and they were directly dispersed and fled.

Just when there was a mutation on this side, the Miao soldiers who had already crossed the river on the other side suddenly found that the Yue people poured out on the river bank for a while.

Then against the Miao people who were scattered in formation, and even played in the river, it was a burst of indiscriminate killing.

Under the front and back attacks on both sides, some Miao soldiers who originally had the fighting spirit to resist were also completely panicked.

At this time, under the instruction of Lu Yuan, Yan Wangqiu also led a thousand elite soldiers, rushed down the mountain, and came straight to Yang Yujin, preparing to capture and kill this Miao commander.

Moments later, a fight ended.

Yang Yujin fell in a pool of blood, his eyes were scattered, and what came into his eyes was the blue splash and endless blood light.

And in the surging water, countless bones and blood, wails and screams, cruelty and hell, all floated in it, and finally led to nowhere and calmed down.

As the two sides of the strait approached, countless cheers also rang out.

……

The seventh day of the third month of the sixth year of Hongdao.

Lu Yuan, the general of Pingxi of Yueguo, led the army to break the army of 40,000 Miao people on the bank of Xiangshui in Dong'an County, beheaded Yang Yujin, the commander of the Miao army, killed 30,000 thieves and reduced 10,000.

Subsequently, General Pingxi divided his troops into four raids, and in three days, he decided on the counties of Linglingfu.

During this period, Li Liang, the general of Yokono, led 20,000 troops to gather.

Then General Pingxi led 40,000 troops and entered Yangshan Mansion in the east, where he broke the Miao people and beheaded tens of thousands of prisoners.

At this point, the Miao men in Sanfu have all died, the main force is empty, and the climate is no longer there.

The three prefectures of Nine Suspicions, Lingling, and Yangshan were pacified and returned to the rule of the imperial court.

The five southern provinces of Dongting County, since the Miao Rebellion, have become one again.
