Ma Su looked at the victory document again and said: "Prime Minister, as for the current changes in the situation in Nanzhong, since Yang Mingzhi stated in the document that he would send troops to recover Qiondu and other places, the army should have already been dispatched at this moment.

."

"I thought it would be better for the court to wait and see what happens, and then decide whether to go south to quell the rebellion in advance when the follow-up situation comes out. However, for Yong Kai and Zhu Bao, the court can take advantage of the power of this victory to send envoys to persuade them.

Even if the two thieves are unmoved, they will still stir up the morale of the army." After saying that, Ma Di looked at Zhuge Liang expectantly, hoping to get his response.

But Zhuge Liang got up first and went to the right wall. He stared at the map of Nanzhong hanging on the wall. After a while, he smiled and said: "Shan, what Youchang said is very much in line with what I want. What do you think?"

how?"

Zhang Yi and others discussed a few words with each other, and they all agreed that this strategy was feasible.

Upon seeing this, Zhuge Liang decided to deal with the Nanzhong incident according to Ma Su's strategy.

Seeing that his proposal was accepted by the prime minister, Ma Su responded more fluently and freely in subsequent discussions, winning unanimous approval from everyone.

August has arrived in the blink of an eye, and the weather in Yuexi has begun to become cooler. This is a good time for the Yuexi County soldiers who have rested for more than half a month to send troops.

Of course, Yang Qing would not miss this opportunity. He personally led two thousand county soldiers to join two thousand Qiang soldiers to support Feng Chong, preparing to recapture the entire Yueqi County in one fell swoop.

Half of these Qiang soldiers were led by brave generals from the Guli tribe, and the other thousand Qiang soldiers were sent by another Qingqiang tribe, the Hei Chi tribe.

It turned out that after the news of Yang Qing's annihilation of the Gaoding army spread, the Qingqiang tribes north of Anshang were greatly shocked. They also saw that the Guli tribe had captured a lot after surrendering to the government and their strength had greatly increased, so they also wanted to follow Gu Lichi's example.

The practice was handed over to the government and prepared to take a share of the pie from the old man.

Yang Qing would not refuse the surrender of these Qingqiang tribes. Recruiting the Qiang and Yi tribes was originally in his original plan, so this expedition allowed the stronger Black and Red tribes to join the coalition. Of course, in order to reflect

The first one to take advantage of the important position of the Guli tribe, Yang Qing treated the Black and Red tribe differently.

However, the Kurochibu are not dissatisfied with this at all. After all, they also understand that adding icing on the cake is not as good as providing help when it is timely.

It's normal for your company to be late for service and not be treated as well as others.

"Lu Mingting, I leave it to you to install it." Yang Qing bowed in the pavilion outside the city.

How could Lu Shen dare to accept such a courtesy from the eunuch? He hurriedly avoided it and bowed and said, "This is a matter within the scope of the official duties. How dare you accept such a courtesy from the public?"

Yang Qing helped him up with both hands and said: "The workshop masters have to take good care of it, and I guess they won't be redeploying manpower in the near future."

"promise."

There are many barbarians in Qiongdu and the counties to the south, and the situation is not expected to stabilize soon even after it is recovered, so the establishment of another workshop in Qiongdu in the future will be postponed.

Yang Qing gave a few more instructions about the transportation of grain and grass, and Lu Shen said goodbye to the others one by one.

After sending troops to retake the occupied counties this time, the county government will also move back to Qiongdu, so only the soldiers and Wang Yi and other county officials will accompany them.

After the rebellion broke out in Gaoding, county officials moved to Anshang. Since then, in order to resist the rebels and defend Anshang, officials at the county and county levels have cooperated sincerely, weathered the difficulties, and formed a deep friendship.

Everyone was quite reluctant to say goodbye this time.

After three glasses of water and wine, the army set off on time.

Yang Qing rode on his horse and looked back at the looming Anshang City. He was filled with emotions. Today, the whole county can only rely on the support of the people of Anshang. Even if the county government gains a firm foothold in Qiongdu in the future, Anshang will still be able to see the city.

It will be the most reliable city for the imperial court in Yuexun County and the last place of protection for the imperial court.

The march passed through Xindao County, where the army rested for the night. The county magistrate Qi Xiu led the officials and people back to Xindao after the defeat of Gaoding's army. These days, he has been appeasing the people, repairing the city walls, and providing relief to the victims. Just because

Xindao has been suffering from military disasters for a long time and has poor financial resources, so the results are quite slow. Fortunately, with the support of An, it can barely sustain it.

Yang Qing also talked with Qi Xiu all night, encouraging him to be at peace with the civil affairs and telling him that as soon as he regained his lost land, the county would naturally support the new way.

Qi Xiu burst into tears after hearing this, and patted his chest and promised that he would be sincere and live up to the trust of the prefect. The next day, the army left the new road and headed towards Qiongdu without stopping.

The army marched day and night, and arrived at the north bank of Beishui a few days later. The local tycoons had already prepared ships to take the army to the south bank. Yang Qing led the army to the foot of Beishui City, and a group of people, led by a few old men, beat gongs and drums.

Welcome.

After Feng Chong led his troops to recapture Beishui City without bloodshed, at first he was still in the city to calm the people and deal with civil affairs, but not long after that he led his cavalry to attack Qiongdu.

Therefore, before leaving, he entrusted all matters in the city to several well-known gentry in the city, who were the old men who took the lead in welcoming the army today.

After Yang Qing entered the city and learned the whole story, he also encouraged them. After all, maintaining the stability of Beishui is inseparable from the local surnames.

Of course, he would not transfer power to the local forces. Beishui had just been recovered at this time, which was not only the time when the local forces were at their weakest, but also the time when the authority of the imperial court was at its strongest. After the chaos, great order would surely be achieved.

Yang Qing would not miss such a good opportunity, and soon the order for the new Beishui County Magistrate was issued. This person was Xie Ning, the former county magistrate. During these days, he assisted Yang Qing in checking household registration and managing work.

He has made outstanding achievements in the transportation of grain and fodder, etc. Today, letting him go out to serve as a foreign official can be regarded as a reward for his promotion.

Although the number of households in Beishui County is only a few thousand, its geographical location is quite important. The city is located on the south bank of Beishui, so it can guard this key waterway. It can be said to be the north gate of Qiongdu. No wonder Gaoding also built a strong fortress here.

It's just that the rebels were scared away by Feng Chong's cavalry without taking advantage of the dangers of Shangbeishui City. Now that Yang Qing thought about it, he felt a little pity for them.

The location of this place is so important, so Yang Qing selected capable generals to serve as county magistrates, hoping that Beishui would be well managed in the future and become a prosperous and strong fortress.

The army rested in Beishui for two days, during which Feng Chong also sent a messenger to inform them of the current situation in Qiongdu.

Since the official army recaptured the capital of Linqiong, the barbarians gathered all their troops to Qiongdu City to prepare for a stubborn resistance. It was found that although there were thousands of barbarian soldiers in Qiongdu City, most of them were old, weak, sick and disabled.

Fear of lack of strength.

It's just that Qiongdu was the capital of the former Qiongdu Kingdom. The city is high and deep, and it is strong and difficult to break. It is one of the largest cities in the south. It has to be established and maintained for a long time, and there are many city defenses. Therefore, it will take a lot of effort to break the city.

No small effort.

However, the second news sent by Feng Chong made Yang Qing feel much more relaxed. It was revealed that the Yi general guarding the city was the third younger brother of Gaoding.

For fear of death, staying in Qiongdu as the main general this time is just to catch up.

It would be much easier to deal with the opponent's general if he was such a figure. Moreover, the third news made Yang Qing even more happy. Several Han people in the city had already contacted Feng Chong. As soon as the main force of the army arrived, they would

He will hold events in the city and cooperate with the officials and troops inside and outside.
