This man is Gaoding's fourth brother. Because he is the youngest son in the family, Gaoding's brothers usually spoil him.

This man has never suffered much since he was a child. He holds a military position in the clan and usually just eats, drinks and has fun. In terms of being greedy and lustful, he is ranked among the best among the old people, so he is not willing to just do this.

He gave up the happy life in the city so easily and ran back to the mountains to feed the mosquitoes.

"Then what should we do in your opinion?" The third brother knew what he was thinking.

He glanced at him and asked.

This skinny barbarian general didn't know what to do. He just pretended to lower his head and meditate to save face. Maybe an idea suddenly occurred to him and he actually came up with a solution after thinking for a long time.

"Sister-in-law, third brother, and younger brother think that Qiongdu still can't give up easily.

Troops and horses from other places can be withdrawn to Qiongdu to concentrate on defense.

In addition, he sent envoys to Beiqiao to capture horses, and Su Qi and other tribes as well as Yong Kai to ask for reinforcements, so that there might be a chance to turn things around.

As for the sister-in-law, several nieces and nephews, as well as the elderly and women, they can retreat to Dingze first.

Wait and see the gains and losses in Qiongdu before deciding where to go."

The fat Yi general really didn't expect that his younger brother would come up with a plan, and he thought the plan was pretty good, so he smiled and said, "I didn't expect that my fourth brother would be so smart." He turned to the woman and said, "Sister-in-law, I think it's a good idea.

Fourth brother, this plan is feasible, why not do it like this first?"

Gao Ding's wife was already in a panic because she had nothing to do. Now she saw that the two brothers had an idea. Since she and her children could evacuate first to ensure safety, how could she not agree?

"In that case, who do you two uncles think should be the general to stay in Qiondu?"

The fat Yi general said: "The decision was made by my fourth brother. I should let my fourth brother decide who will stay behind."

As soon as these words came out, the thin Yi general jumped up and said with a sly smile: "Brother, why should the younger brother take the lead here? Moreover, the younger brother is weak and not as strong as the third brother, who is tall and powerful in martial arts. Only the third brother can shoulder the responsibility."

The important task of defending Qiongdu."

This statement makes sense. Although both of them are inferior in terms of martial arts, if we really want to compare them, the fat Yi general is more powerful.

It's just that both of them are greedy for life and afraid of death, so how can they put themselves in danger?

"No,

Defending the city is more about resourcefulness than martial arts. Fourth brother is always smart, so it would be best for you to stay behind."

"No, the third brother is now the pillar of my family. Who else should I take care of?"

"Fourth brother is joking. At this time..."

Neither of them wanted to stay in Qiongdu to deal with the army, and for a while no one allowed the other to quarrel. Seeing the dispute, Gao Ding's wife proposed to choose someone else as a general, and the two started arguing over whether their own men could control the military power.

.

Just when the soldiers of Yueqi County began to regain their lost territory, Zhuge Liang, who was far away in Chengdu, finally received the victory document reported by Yang Qing.

"Come here, please quickly call the three soldiers and clan masters in the mansion, and Jiang Cao will call me here." After reading the document in one breath, Zhuge Liang excitedly ordered the waiter outside the door.

After that, he picked up the slip and read it again. Just now he had only read it hastily, and the details in it needed to be considered carefully.

After a while,

Zhang Yi, Ma Su, Zongxu and others came one by one.

Zhuge Liang saw that everyone had arrived,

Putting down the bamboo slips in his hands,

While shaking his feather fan, he smiled and said, "I'm calling you all here today because of the affairs of Nanzhong."

"Prime Minister, what happened to the rebels in Nanzhong?" Zhang Yi asked with his hands raised.

Zhuge Liang said: "Yes, Gaoding, the king of Yi in Yuexun County, has been defeated, and the situation in Nanzhong will change."

"What, is this happening?" Everyone was shocked when they heard this, and looked at each other except for the chief bookkeeper Zong Yu, who all had expressions of ignorance on their faces.

Ma Su stood up and asked eagerly: "But what big move is Yang Mingzhi doing?"

Zhuge Liang nodded slightly and handed over the victory document on the case. Ma Su was anxious and quickly stepped forward to take it and read it.

"Okay, Yang Mingzhi fought well in this battle, and he lived up to his reputation for knowing the art of war." After reading it quickly, Ma Di praised loudly.

After hearing what he said, others became even more anxious. Liao Hua, who was sitting below him, couldn't help but stand up and snatch the slip from Ma Su's hand. Ma Su smiled awkwardly when he saw this. He was so excited that he forgot to pass it on to others.

In less than a cup of tea, the remaining four people all handed over the victory document and read it. Yang Qing's achievement of annihilating more than 10,000 Gaoding Yi soldiers with thousands of people really shocked everyone, and even the Yi king Gaoding

He was also killed by the formation, which is not a small feat.

Moreover, such a great victory was achieved by Yang Qing with his own strength, which made everyone understand how difficult and precious this war was.

Liao Hua was also a man who knew soldiers well. After reading the battle report, he had to say that the tactics and strategies in it were dazzling. He thought that Yang Ming was worthy of being a disciple of a master. No wonder Ma Youchang admired his tactics so much.

Seeing that everyone had finished reading, Zhuge Liang smiled and said: "Everyone, we are sitting here in Chengdu. We didn't expect that Yang Mingzhi would bring us such a big surprise from a remote place in the south. It's really exciting."

Zhang Yi answered with a smile and said: "The Prime Minister is absolutely right. It can be said that the three groups of rebels have been wiped out. The situation in Nanzhong is so good that I was caught off guard."

Everyone smiled knowingly when they heard this. According to the previous strategy, this year we will mainly maintain the status quo for the rebels in Nanzhong. After the court regains its strength next year, it will have the strength to go south to quell the rebellion.

However, after Yang Qing annihilated Gaoding's army, it would definitely affect the situation in the entire Nanzhong. Not only could the entire Yuexi County be recovered, but the offensives of the two thieves Yong Kai of Yizhou County and Zhu Bao of Zangda County would also be affected.

If there is some restraint, the people in Nanzhong who have fallen will definitely be encouraged to re-establish their confidence in the imperial court.

The improvement of the situation is greatly beneficial to the imperial court, so the idea of ​​whether troops can be sent to pacify Nanzhong this year suddenly came to the minds of many people.

Not to mention Zhuge Liang, everyone present was a man of extraordinary ability and resourcefulness. As one of the most capable ministers in the Han Dynasty, the pros and cons of sending troops to Nanzhong this year were clearly calculated by them in an instant, but this determination still had to be carried out.

Prime Minister Zhuge is here.

"Mr. Jun Sigong is right, this is the biggest happy event this year." Jiang Wan responded: "Yang Mingzhi is both civil and military and has outstanding talents. Having such talents is really a blessing for the Han Dynasty."

Zhuge Liang smiled while stroking his flowing beard after hearing this. He was also very pleased with Yang Qing's performance. It was a bit unexpected that the main force of the Gaoding rebels was wiped out in just a few months after going south to Yuexi. It can be said to be an excess.

Mission accomplished.

"Well, Yang Qing's contribution is very great, so I asked you to come here today. One is to talk about how the court should reward meritorious people, and the other is to discuss how the court should respond to the changes in Nanzhong?"

As the actual person in charge of the daily political affairs of the Prime Minister's Palace, Zhang Yi pondered for a moment and said: "Prime Minister, I thought that the court had given Yang Qing and others a big reward for the last time I killed the Yi chieftain Li Qiucheng. Although the results of this battle are

Even worse than the previous time, one thing is that the rebellion of the old people has not been completely put down after all, the other thing is that the whole county of Yuexi has not been recovered, and the third thing is that giving Yang Qing another reward and promotion in such a short period of time will not necessarily affect his future career.

is a good thing,

Therefore, I think that the merits of the meritorious people this time can be recorded for the time being, and we will discuss the merits together in the future when Yuexi is recovered and even Nanzhong is pacified."

Zhuge Liang nodded and asked the others: "What do you think of what Jun Sigong said?"

Jiang Wan cupped his hands and said: "Prime Minister, I think what Jun Si Gong said is very reasonable. However, in order to prevent the meritorious officers and soldiers from being discouraged, the imperial court can issue a clear edict to praise the meritorious officials."

"rational."

"feasible."

"agree."
