This was the idea that Yao Lin had temporarily developed, but the generals were all moved.

If you don’t want to occupy Dali, then forget it. It’s occupying, not a war of destruction like Champa.

But it is still quite troublesome to occupy Dali.

The least troublesome thing about Dali is their main body, Baiman, which is equivalent to a semi-Han group. This group is mainly distributed in Dali, Chuwei (Chuxiong area), Yongchang (Baoshan area), Xiushan (Yuxi area), Nongdong (Dayao area), and Huichuan (Huili area).

The Baiman people are now quite different from the Han people's customs, and they all have Han surnames. Zhang Wang, Li, Zhao, Yang, Zhou, Gao, Duan, Su, Gong, Yin, Dong, Sun, Yuanren is a big surname. The slight difference is that they believe in Buddhism more than the people in the Central Plains, and they like to inlay Buddha's name into their names, such as Zhang Prajna, Lu Master Yaokong, etc. This doesn't matter. On the contrary, the more they believe in Buddhist interpretations and do not like killing, the easier it is to govern. And there is also a mature tax system. That is, if the Song Dynasty took over Dali, at least in a vast area as Baiman, they would not worry about taxes.

Taxes... are really important! If you don’t mention making money, you can at least protect the management costs and don’t have to pay for them in the Central Plains.

The rest are minority tribes.

The golden-toothed Baiyi between Dali and Jiaozhi will make Wang Ji headache. If you don’t get Jiaozhi, don’t worry about them. Maybe you can still treat them as a buffer zone, just like the "southwest barbarians" in Guizhou between the Song Dynasty and Dali. However, if you get Jiaozhi, the golden-toothed Baiyi also needs to manage them. Others such as the barbarians, Lu Man, naked-shaped barbarians, Heman, Wang Man, Liaoman, etc. live in western Sichuan, western Yunnan, southern Yunnan, northern Myanmar, and northern Asians. There is no need to worry about this, and you can slowly plan it in the future.

But Wuman must be managed, otherwise the Song Dynasty and Dali will be isolated. Not only will it be managed, but it also needs to be managed in an all-round way. Only in this way can one form a whole from Guangnan West Road to Bashu.

However, the people of Wuman are fierce, and some areas are very dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack. If most of their main forces can be wiped out in this battle, it can lay a solid foundation for taking down Wuman.

Maybe there is no need to be so troublesome, you can go directly to Dali.

Otherwise, it will take a long time to implement it according to Wang Ju's plan. The longer the time, the more variables there will be.

Wang Ju was also thinking.

Indeed, it seems that these Wuman are worse than he thought.

He said, "Let's go back."

Although Wuman was not bad, he sent scouts. However, these scouts were not as good as the original Song army, so don’t mention the scouts of Xixia and Wang Ju’s attention to scouts.

However, this group of people stood here to observe, and maybe the Wuman scout discovered it, and there would be danger.

The group returned.

Wang Ju said: "It's better to follow the original plan."

Yao Lin was a little disappointed. He was too steady, not necessarily steady!

Wang Ju said again: "I have thought on the road that Wuman is truly fierce, or is he fierce on the inside?"

"this……"

Some of them couldn't help but ponder.

For example, Ziqiman was originally spread more evilly. But what about reality?

Wang Ju said again: "If you are a harsh person and weak person on the outside, you can't defeat them in this battle, and many tribes will not dare to come. That would be a problem."

"Aren't Dali afraid of destroying the country?"

"By the city to defend, the city to defend against the city."

If that happens, the Song army will be in trouble. Are cities so easy to attack?

Wang Ju said again: "But General Yao's words make some sense. Let's send a light cavalry to rob their food and grass, and then try to insult them."

"Here."

It is too simple to deal with such an army for the Song army soldiers who have experienced many battles.

Yao Xiong led a light cavalry to the southwest under the leadership of the scout, and on the third day, he brought a Dali army and horse. Not only did he rob the food and grass of this man, but he also robbed hundreds of cattle and sheep, and hundreds of soldiers and civilians who were escorting grain, he successfully brought them back to Ziqi.

Yanda sent someone to interrogate the military and civilians from Luowen tribe. It seemed that Luowen tribe sent a lot of troops this time and also supported a large amount of food and food. But it is not surprising that Yezhu tribe was the Pumo tribe, and Pumo tribe was the Luowen tribe. However, through the confessions of these people, the most powerful troops were mainly more than a dozen tribes near the Yezhu tribe. If they were a little far away, they might not be able to catch up, but it is estimated that there would not be many troops sent to support them.

After asking about some other situations, Yan Da stripped the people of their clothes and let them all go back naked.

This time, the shameful insult made all the Wuman troops furious. However, before their troops arrived, they did not dare to challenge the Song army, so in order to revenge, they divided some troops and attacked some villages in Qi. However, as soon as the three troops arrived in Qizhou, they were hit head-on by the Song army's cavalry and were defeated. However, in order not to expose their true combat effectiveness, Wang Ju sent only a small number of cavalry, and did not make all the Wuman troops attacked by the three invading Wuman troops.

The war has officially begun.

Several small-scale conflicts made the Wuman realize that the Song army looked no different from the Wuman army, at least in terms of armor and weapons, everyone was similar.

But the actual combat effectiveness may be above the Wuman army.

However, for a woman, the Song Dynasty inexplicably started a war, and the conflict began. Most people also stopped seeking peace and had to continue asking for help from the rear.

More and more troops were coming, but the Song army always confronted the Dali army and did not take action.

At this time, Wang Ju received an information: "Achang?"

"Achang from Gehu Village." Yan Da said.

"How many chiefs from Qizhou have not changed their surnames?"

Wang Ju used two troops against Ziqi. During the second military use, most barbarian chiefs were killed by the Song army, and their land and houses were distributed to the people in the village, and then the prefectures and counties were established. However, a very few barbarian leaders saw that something was wrong and actively cooperated, which was difficult to start. There were also a few in the deep mountains and forests, mainly in some areas that were bounded with the Luo family. They were not convenient to use troops, and they also let some of them go, but they were not allowed to be free and easy in the future. They also sent people to issue orders to these villages, asking them to cooperate with the government to govern the people in the future. If they disagree, they would still use troops. Under this pressure, they all surrendered, and most barbarian leaders even used the Han surname.

However, there are a very small number of people who still use the original barbarian name and do not have the Han surname or the name of the Han people.

"I don't know much about this anymore. I want to ask Huang Zhizhou."

"How many villages want to cooperate with this Achang?"

"It seems that there are five or six villages, but this Achang is very active. He is still trying to win over other villages."

"It is inevitable. First, I don't accept the constraints of the government. Second, I don't allow them to over-restrict the villagers of the village. Some of the remaining barbarian leaders must be dissatisfied. At that time, I was afraid of our army's strength and was temporarily convinced. Now that the Dali army is coming, I have an idea again and let them..."

Yan Da understood that this was the information that the scouts inquired about, saying that the leader of Gehuzhai Achang was dissatisfied with the Song Dynasty's jurisdiction over him. Seeing that Dali was gathering troops, he contacted some villages and wanted to surrender to Dali. During the decisive battle, they rushed out from the mountains in the northwest and rushed directly behind the Song army.

The Song army can kill this threat in advance or let it go, which makes the Wuman illusion that it can defeat the Song army and attract more Wuman troops.

Wang Ju took the next step.

Some migrating inland people have arrived in Jiaozhi, and the two armies are still confronting each other.

The scouts came to report again that the Dali army had officially arrived, and the number of troops of the Wuman army gathered towards Ziqi was getting smaller and smaller.

Yao Lin asked: "Young Bao, will they take the initiative first?"

After all, the Dali side now has more than 50,000 troops. But Wang Ju only has 25,000 troops on the Qizhou card. If there are cavalry, Dali also has cavalry and Achang supports it.

"I don't know... I might use the help of military strength to gain an advantage, and send envoys to put pressure on us to seek peace. A war may begin. After all, Wuman is not a member of the Gao family." Wang Ju said.

Several generals couldn't help but think of Wang Ju's plan, and they were speechless.

Wang Ju paused and said, "But we don't have to wait any longer."

We can wait a little longer, and there are still several Wuman soldiers who have not sent troops to come, but if we continue to wait, we may not be able to wait for more Dali reinforcements.

So Wang Ju decided to start to take action.

There were also disputes in the military camps in Dali. Some had to take the initiative to attack, while others continued to insist on peace talks. Not only were the reinforcements sent by Dali, but there were also the twenty-nine coalition forces that the thirty-seven Wuman tribes arrived, and there were various small subordinate tribes under the thirty-seven Wuman tribes. So the quarrel was terrifying.

But this time, more people favored the initiative to attack because their troops did have an advantage.

Just as everyone was controversial again, they suddenly reported outside that a Song army from southern Qi suddenly rushed towards Luo Xiong's troops along the warm water.

Everyone was shocked. Now the surrounding troops were concentrated at the junction of Yezhu and Ziqi. Luo Xiong's troops were empty. Once the Song army was allowed to take down Luo Xiong's troops, they could quickly move forward, take down the Milu troops, Shi Zong troops, and Luo Wen troops, which would cut off their retreat together.

"How many Song army?" Pan Danjia, the leader of Luoxiong's tribe, asked nervously.

"More than 10,000 Song troops." said the scout.

"Talk again and report again."

"Here."

Just a small division of troops broke up the plans of various departments in Dali at once. Not only were the leaders of Luoxiong's army nervous, but the leaders of the Milu army, Shizong army, Luowen army, Maitreya army, and Luomeng army were nervous.

This Song army was mostly infantry, carrying food and supplies, and the marching speed was not fast. The scouts came back soon to report that there were still more than 10,000 Song army, which may be around 10,000 to 12,000 soldiers and horses, and were already very close to Luo Xiong's army.

In desperation, Li Yuantong, the chief general sent by Dali, had to gather everyone to discuss.

Because the previous conflicts can be learned from the previous conflicts, the Song army had a slightly higher combat effectiveness than the Dali army, so they sent out a large army of 30,000 to snipe more than 10,000 Song army troops. The remaining people stood firm in their positions and used the terrain and camp bars to prevent the counterattack of the main force of the Song army on the opposite side.

The battle of warm water begins.

The coalition forces of various Dali departments quickly caught up with the Song army. The Dali people were numerous and powerful, and quickly forced the Song army to a desperate situation and passive defense.

After fighting for a day, both sides stopped and camped for a rest.

As night came, Qu Zhen quickly headed west with ten thousand cavalry.

In fact, many people in Dali were wrong. The Song army was not afraid of their troops, but now the Song army hated that they had too few troops. And the terrain in this area...

Wang Ju deliberately chose Yezhu tribe to conflict with it because it was mainly mountainous terrain, which was conducive to defense, which attracted more Wuman tribes to support it. Of course, if a war was really started in this area, the Song army would also cause a large number of casualties.

But the main battlefield is not here at all, but is on the east side of Luoxiong's tribe. The terrain here is similar to that in the southeast of Qizhou, except that Xiaoxiu Peak is a little denser, but the remaining 60% is still flat slopes, enough for the cavalry to gallop freely.

Therefore, Miao Lu first led 10,000 infantry to attract Dali's troops. Qu Zhen led the cavalry from the rear and then rushed over to attack.

The battle begins and the battle ends.

Just as the next day was dawn, Qu Zhen killed ten thousand cavalrymen.

Although the Song army still has very few troops in terms of military strength, it is an army with good military discipline after many practical combat and cooperative training, and the 30,000 soldiers and horses in Dali are almost a group of mobs.

With just a few sprints, the Dali army collapsed.

The two Song troops continued to chase and shouted in barbarian words, surrendering and not killing them.

At the same time, Wang Ju and Yan Da slowly brought 30,000 Song troops to the Dali army, but did not attack, but forced the army into the camp.

Yao Xiong led a cavalry to the south.

There were blocking soldiers in front and pursuers in the back, and most of them were fast cavalry. The escaped Dali armies had no choice but to put down their weapons and surrender.

At noon the next day, Miao Lu, Qu Zhen and Yao Xiong led their respective subordinates to escort 21,000 prisoners of war to the Dali military camp. In the battle of Wenshui, Dali was defeated too badly. There were not many soldiers actually killed, only more than 2,000. The remaining ones were almost 80% captured alive under the pressure of the Song army using their cavalry advantages.

Wang Ju rode his horse and came to the army and shouted to the three armies of Dali: "Li Yuantong, and the leaders of various tribes, please listen. I am the young guarantor of the Song Dynasty. Please surrender immediately. I promise not to kill. If you do not surrender within the three incense sticks, you will be killed without mercy!" (To be continued)
