After learning that Liu Du and Bao Long had run away, Zhao Yun did not pursue him immediately, but decided to divide his troops to send an edict to the Lingling counties in the Xiangjiang River Basin.

After all, the battle goal that Li Su explained to him was to take down the two counties of Lingling and Guiyang one after another, rather than being bound by one person's life and death.

Liu Du ran away, and at best he continued to occupy several mountainous counties that were worthless and could not flow even in the Xiangjiang River. In addition, Liu Du could not have much prestige and could not lose the big ones in order to kill them all.

The day after entering Quanling County, Zhao Yun convened an army meeting and ordered the arrangements: "Zhengfang, you will lead two thousand troops to station in Quanling and appease the people. At the same time, beware of the remnants of Liu Du and Bao Long who will be killed if they return."

Li Yan: "Here."

Zhao Yun: "Zhong Miao, Wen Chang, you will lead a thousand troops each. Zhong Miao will inform Duliang, Fuyi, Zhaoling and other counties along the Zishui River to surrender; Wen Chang sent a letter to Taoyang and Lingling in the upper reaches of the Xiang River, Shi'an."

Huo Jun, Wei Yan: "Now."

Zhao Yun nodded and finally explained: "I led a thousand people, mainly light cavalry, and walked over the mountains and went around Chen County by land to persuade Zhao Fan to surrender first. In addition, I will send a messenger to inform the right general about the battle situation here to see if he will make other arrangements for Liu Du's handling."

Hearing this, Li Yan and others became nervous: "General, you should not underestimate the enemy. There are no rivers in Chen County to reach, so it is true that the troops need to advance quickly. But it is definitely not up to one thousand people. If Zhao Fan uses Guiyang's power, he can also use seven or eight thousand people. If there is a mistake..."

Zhao Yun raised his hand: "It's okay. Even if Zhao Fan doesn't surrender, at most, he will retreat with his entire army. What can I do? Moreover, I don't see that his attitude towards the envoys to persuade him to surrender was not firm. He was mostly aiming to let Liu Du take the lead.

If he knew that Liu Du had been scared by the battle of Qiyang and gave up Quanling and escaped, how could Zhao Fan have the will to resist again?"

Li Yan thought about it, but didn't know how to refute it.

Wei Yan just debuted and was not afraid of offending others, questioned: "General, the military situation is changing and the hearts of people are strange. Zhao Fan may not know that Liu Du has given up Quanling, nor may he know the power of our army. If he questions our army's strength, it will be unfair. Not only will it delay the war, but he may also force him to surrender next time, and he will have many concerns."

Zhao Yun smiled slightly, pointed to the map and said confidently: "I have been using military force for many years, and I have my own way to make Zhao Fan believe that Liu Du is destroyed, rather than our army is using fraud. The most reliable way is to show our strength from the route of our army's dispatch.

If our army went back to the north to pass Leiyang into Leishui to Chen County in order to facilitate the road, Zhao Fan would definitely suspect that the "Liu Du Destruction" that our army said was a bluff. However, this time I was going to go straight from Quanling to the east, cross the mountains and pass Xinning to Chen County.

Although this route is difficult to carry military rations and supplies, it is because it is to go to Guiyang from the middle of Lingling County. As long as Leiyang is still in the hands of Zhao Fan, there is no urgent report. However, our army suddenly appeared under Chen County from the southwest. It is not enough to prove that we came from the hinterland of Liu Du's jurisdiction? As long as Zhao Fan is not stupid, he can reach Liu Du. Besides, you can search the prefect of Quanling to see if there are any tokens left by Liu Du, which is enough to prove that our army took Quanling and cannot be disbelief of Zhao Fan."

This evidence of accusation of hearts was very sophisticated, which made Li Yan and Wei Yan unable to help but take the lead.

General Fu Bo is a veteran who has been leading troops for five or six years. He thinks carefully and is used to seeing the world at first glance.

...

Five or six days after that, everything was as progress as Zhao Yun expected. Except for Liu Du in the Jiuyi Mountains and some Shanyue chiefs in other directions, the rest of Lingling was controlled.

When Liu Du left, he distributed a lot of food. Although he had pulled away some people's hearts, Zhao Yun announced the reform of the renting and mediocre law, promising that he would not add tributes from the Shanyue barbarians at will in the future, and that everything would be subject to law. He also announced that he would exempt him from this year's taxes.

After a few tricks, the people of Lingling got benefits and were temporarily stabilized.

The only loss is due to tax exemption and peace of the people. Zhao Yun was unable to raise more food and grass in Lingling. However, this can be solved by no longer sending reinforcements and reducing food and grass consumption. Anyway, this number of troops is enough at present.

On the fourth day of the fifth month, the 1,000 light cavalry led by Zhao Yun finally suddenly appeared in the southwest of Chen County after crossing mountains and ridges for several days. On the way, they rode horses and marched two-thirds of the way, and the rest were not convenient to ride horses. In the mountains that were too steep, they chose to dismount and walk, so it took so long.

Zhao Yun's appearance of course shocked Zhao Fan, the prefect of Guiyang. He cautiously did not dare to make military resistance immediately, but immediately tried his best to collect military information.

Finally, he found that Leiyang County, the gateway to the north, was not attacked, so Zhao Yun suddenly appeared.

The fear in Zhao Fan's heart was even worse than the situation of "Leiyang fell first", because he knew that it was Liu Du who was finished. So Zhao Fan chose to open the gate of Chen County and surrender very alone.

In order to dispel Zhao Yun's doubts and to show goodwill, Zhao Fan not only opened the city gate, but also took the initiative to take a group of big households in the city to greet him, showing that he had absolutely no intention of making money from Zhao Yun into the city.

As soon as the two met, Zhao Fan bowed and bowed: "I heard for a long time that General Fu Bo is famous and Wang Renyi in Hanzhong. Fan and the general are of the same clan. When the previous letter was sent to the letter, he wanted to surrender, but he only regretted that the road was not stable, and that Liu Du was blocked and Zhang Jin was by his side, for fear that he would be demoted to the two thieves early.

Fortunately, the general came here to protect the people of Guiyang and also allowed Fan De to surrender. He had the official position in the county, but General Fu Bo felt that it was not for him to use. Despite the adjustment, Fan Anyu will not follow him."

Zhao Yun even got goosebumps when he said this.

If I hadn't known that Zhao Fan was flattering, I might have been deceived by him. I thought Zhao Fan was an unparalleled "worker behind enemy lines" and lived like a year in the encirclement of Liu Du and Zhang Jin.

Zhao Yun smiled and said, "If Zhao's family is intent, the king will definitely know your loyalty. Let's do this, and you won't move anything else. However, the magistrate of Leiyang County and the magistrate of Chen County will change it, and the right general will send someone to him."

Chen County is the county seat, and Leiyang is a major transportation route from Changsha to Guiyang. Therefore, when Zhao Fan was retained by the prefect, changing two county magistrates was enough to ensure that they could not make any trouble. In history, after Liu Bei pacified Jingnan, he said that "the county magistrate of Leiyang is vacant", so that Pang Tong, who had just arrived, was only able to be the county magistrate for the time being because it was too ugly, was actually the reason.

There is no place to be vacant, it is obvious that Zhao Fan is not at ease, so he is vacant.

After hearing this, Zhao Fan also knew that as long as these two personnel appointments were followed by Zhao Yun, he would be fine. He also agreed with a stiff smile. He continued to ask with a grin: "General, the wealthy families in the city have set up a banquet for the general and comforted the soldiers. However, Guiyang is hot and there is much heat in the city. Should the general want to enter the city to have a banquet, or find a manor for the rich outside the city, and garrison troops in the cool places of the mountains and rivers?"

This is what Zhao Yun means to ask "Are you afraid of me making money and you will go to the city."

Of course Zhao Yun is not afraid. As long as Zhao Fan is offered up all the city gates, what kind of fun can he do?

Zhao Yun persuaded in a pleasing tone: "Your Majesty should not be suspicious, just go to the city to work hard."

After entering the city, Zhao Fan immediately held a banquet at the prefect's mansion and invited representatives from several powerful families from Guiyang County to accompany him. Zhao Yun drank wine and did not hesitate.

During the banquet, a local clan leader named Fan took a list and introduced himself: "I heard that General Fu Bo's reputation has been famous for a long time. He is a hero in the world. My little girl has always admired me. I beg you to keep a cup for the general."

After saying that, Mr. Fan waved his hand and a girl of sixteen or seventeen years old with a slightly national character came forward, knelt on the edge of Zhao Yun's desk, and poured wine for Zhao Yun.

Unfortunately, he met Zhao Yun who was extremely calm, so although the generals and schools around Zhao Yun could not control their eyes, he was always very controllable.

Zhao Yun calmly asked calmly: "What does your father-in-law mean? Is Yun a bully? Since entering the city, he has never been in trouble, so don't doubt it!"

Mr. Fan smiled embarrassedly: "How dare you suspect the general is bullying? I am really ashamed. My little girl is nearly seventeen years old and has not yet married. She only respects heroes and heroes in her life. When she heard that the general came here, she volunteered to serve her."

Fan Juan didn't speak, and then Yingying bowed down and agreed in a gentle voice: "I have admired the general for a long time and dared not try to climb up, but I just asked the general to take shelter, so I can be a maid."

Who told Zhao Yun to pacify Guiyang County in this life? It was fifteen or sixteen years earlier? Therefore, the daughter of the Fan family, a wealthy family in Guiyang, had not yet become Zhao Fan's widowed sister-in-law, and was still an old girl who could not get married.

This made Zhao Yun lose the excuse of rejection such as "You and I are of the same clan, and your sister-in-law is my sister-in-law."

Zhao Yun had never encountered such a scene where the woman took the initiative to press, so he had to say: "As a border general, Yun is in charge of the king's order, so he should not make his own decisions, so that the new people are concerned that I will use my power to occupy the women of the people and damage our military's reputation. This matter should be reported to the right general and the Discretion Office, and then the decision will be made."

This was not a rejection, it was just doing business and did not harm the woman. The Fan family found a step and then stepped down first.

After Zhao Yun solved the situation in Guiyang, he comforted him for a few days and devoted his energy to Lingling, planning to take down the last few mountain counties occupied by Liu Du.

...

Li Su, who stayed in Changsha, has been relatively free these days.

The main commander of Gan Ning, who was stationed in Baqiu, intercepted some Yangzhou merchants who wanted to go to Yizhou to purchase Shujin, and served as intermediaries to them, spread the "Heroes' Records" and conducted foreign exchanges as planned. Then they also handled some important civil affairs work in Changsha County.

On the sixth day of the fifth month, Li Sucai received a report from Zhao Yun that Quanling County, the capital of Lingling County, had been successfully accepted. Three days after that, fragmented good news were also reported one after another. All counties had been pacified, leaving only the few county towns in the Jiuyi Mountains in the southeast corner of Lingling.

On the ninth day of the fifth month, Li Su learned that Zhao Yun had crossed mountains and rushed to Chen County from Xinning. Zhao Fan surrendered and accepted the adaptation. The letter also said that the daughter of the local tyrant Fan family in Guiyang was not dared to do so.

Li Su looked at it and couldn't help but smile and said, "What's wrong with this? Zilong has been taking a concubine but not a wife for many years, running around and diligent in state affairs, so he should enjoy it more.

He is a well-known hero in the world, and his reputation as a hero was praised by Queen Lingsi. If a beautiful girl voluntarily entrusts her to the point, who would suspect that he was bullying and robbing her with power? He was too worried! Tell Zilong, just say that it was what I said, and it would be okay for him to accept it."

The messenger: "Yes! But... please write it in the letter and ask the subordinates to bring it back, otherwise General Fu Bo will not believe it."

Li Su nodded: "That's true. I'll reply to a letter, you can wait here. By the way, when you set off, did Zilong say, how will he arrange his next step?"

The messenger thought for a while: "In General Fu Bo's book... he didn't say he wanted to attack Chongling? That's what he said to me verbally."

Li Su touched his beard cautiously: "It's May now, and the land in Jingnan is still safe if it's just fighting on both sides of the Xiangjiang River. If you rashly go deep into the Five Ridges and the vegetation is mixed, you must be careful. Let Zilong be careful about the epidemic in the army.

Putting yourself in your shoes, since Liu Du and Bao Long felt that hiding in Chongling would help them block Zilong, it would be unreasonable. Yun Chang and Yide and I have been to Nanzhong and knew that it was powerful. Zilong had never been involved in the smoke and chaos, so it was inevitable that he would be careless. Forget it, I will let Mr. Zhongjing go to Quanling and follow him to supervise the formation."

The messenger repeatedly answered the promise and accepted the order.

Zhang Ji was originally from Jingzhou. Last year, when Liu Bei was recruiting medical prescriptions, he went to Hanzhong to present the "Miscellaneous Diseases" and engraved the seal. He lived in Yizhou for a while and also studied the miasma infectious diseases in Nanzhong.

At the beginning of this spring, when Li Su returned to Jingzhou, he brought Zhang Ji back and asked him to return to his hometown to live for a while. He thought it was a holiday and gave Zhang Ji a sum of money to settle it, so Zhang Ji is now in Changsha.

Li Su asked Zhao Yun's messenger to take Zhang Ji back to Quanling with him.

Of course, it is not just Zhang Ji who is alone. How can a doctor go to the army to fight? Of course, Li Su has to search for more doctors who are good at southern soil and water symptoms in Changsha City, and bring Zhang Ji and his apprentices with him.

Before leaving, Li Su talked to Zhang Ji about the king's policies on the newly entrustment area of ​​Jingnan, so that Zhang Ji could act cheaply when needed.

On May 15, Zhang Ji and Zhao Yun's messenger arrived in Quanling and met Li Yan who was staying in Quanling. Then they heard from Li Yan that Zhao Yun's troops were trapped in Yingpu County, the source of Xiangjiang River, which was further upstream, and seemed to be unable to enter Chongling for some reason.

When Li Yan learned that Zhang Ji was among the back envoys, he was overjoyed and quickly expressed his desire to send troops to escort them to the front line: "The Jiuyi Mountain is lush with vegetation and smoky and worms, so General Zhao suffered a lot, so he asked Mr. Zhongjing to help."

Zhang Ji did not dare to neglect. Under the protection of Wei Yan and five hundred soldiers, he arrived at Yingpu County near the front line on May 18th.

When he arrived, the situation he saw was worse than expected. In just a few days, Zhao Yun himself fell ill and was still there to alternate between cold and heat. Zhang Ji could see at a glance that Zhao Yun was first infected with malaria and several other diseases.

Fortunately, Zhao Yun is extremely strong and is not in danger of life. Although Zhang Ji did not understand the special medicine of "Artemisia stinky", after a little treatment, Zhao Yun could still be sober.

However, northerners have never encountered tropical diseases and are powerless. Zhang Ji soon discovered that Zhao Yun had a variety of miasma and parasitic diseases. Each one was not fatal, but it was very troublesome to add up.

Zhang Ji complained regretfully: "Why don't you use the 'Floral Water', a specialty product of Jianwei, to fight deeply, to deworm it? Is it because the army is not prepared and provided enough? If the deworming is done properly, at least half of the diseases in the army can be suppressed."

Zhao Yun was lying there, just now awake, and said ashamedly: "Yun Ye knew that camping should pay attention to cleaning. I have also read the experience accumulated by Boya and Yun Chang in Nanzhong. Unfortunately, the advancement was too fast and the logistics could not keep up, so I was negligent.

If I had known this, I would have fought more steadily and avoided the heat and fought again. But now that happened, I would like to ask my wise men to do it. If our army is stationed in Yingpu County in May and June, it may be necessary to ensure that the soldiers will not suffer too much casualties? Is it necessary to retreat to Quanling or Changsha?"
