"We only ask the young security guard to withdraw troops." Gao Shengtai said.

"I will withdraw my troops sooner or later. Let's do this. I will draw a line and only use troops in this area. As long as this area is stable and there are no more Jiaozhi refugees, I will let the general withdraw their troops back." Wang Ju drew a line on the map, mainly in the southeastern area of ​​Dali, and the area is not large. But after this separation, the original Jiaozhi refugees could not escape back to Jiaozhi.

It can be argued in theory.

But... Gao Shengtai still wanted to speak, and Wang Ju said in a stern voice: "This is my bottom line, and you can't bargain anymore."

Gao Shengtai had to go back.

Huang Hua said: "Shaobao, will he alert the enemy?"

"Maybe, but now for the Gao family, it's an arrow on the string and has to be fired, and we can't underestimate the temptation of the throne to Gao You. So, I'll send someone to notify Yang Yizhen and let him take the opportunity to send troops."

In fact, at this time, Wang Ju basically had everything ready, only the east wind was missing.

Although Yan Da was still in a tough battle, Mangbu's troops took them down, leaving only Yixi and Mahu troops on the west side. Mahu troops can use troops according to the situation. If there is enough time, you can use Mahu troops. If there is too little time, you can put it aside first. As long as you take down Yixi troops, you can connect to the Jingjing Supervisor.

In addition, fields were also allocated in some areas, especially on both sides of the main business roads, and nearly half of the areas were allocated. Without barbarian heads, as long as there were no barbarian heads, they could be governed. That is, from Dongchuan City to Rongzhou, most areas could be appointed to manage. However, this also made Yan Da feel fortunate. If it weren’t for Wang Ju’s trick, Liu Kai fooled Yezhu’s troops, and then attracted most of the Wuman troops to fight from the margins of Qizhou, but forcibly attacked, and one tribe after another. Even Wuman, I don’t know when it would be taken down.

But it is not just a disadvantage. After all, through this series of wars, the armies gradually became familiar with the tough battle.

The future is to win Dali, and the tough battle is still inevitable.

This is a war on the Northern Front.

The war on the Eastern Front gradually ended. Yao Lin learned the initial lesson, first sent troops out of Puning City, gradually attracted various barbarians, then pretended to be defeated, retreated southward, and retreated to Yueliangchuan. The terrain here was relatively flat, and Yao Lin set up a large pocket in Yueliangchuan in advance, but this pocket was relatively large. One northwest and one southeast, both of which were thirty or forty miles away from the main battlefield.

When the barbarian army chased Yueliangchuan, suddenly five thousand cavalrymen rushed out and their pockets began to tighten. In one battle, nearly 20,000 barbarians turned into prisoners of war.

However, Wang Ju asked Yao Lin to only manage the area south of Puning City.

Going further deeper, the terrain is too complicated, but the areas south of Puning City are basically allocated land. Most of the barbarians in Luodian have entered the long river of history, and of course the government has also managed it.

This battle is of great significance. The special modao was sent by Wang Ju to surrender, and the leaders of various tribes agreed to surrender to the Song Dynasty, and they were more docile. Wang Ju could not use troops. However, it was still the chieftain system, so there might be trouble in the future.

Therefore, relatively speaking, the safe passage is only from Qizhou, which is relatively thin. After obtaining the Luodian area, the passage becomes wider and thicker. Moreover, with Puning City, it can also be used as a bridgehead for future operation of the Southwest Yi.

And after this battle, the surrounding barbarians were shocked, so Yao Lin sent envoys to force them to come to Puning and form an alliance with the Song Dynasty. They continued to give them autonomy, but they had to be convinced by the Song Dynasty.

In fact, Yao Lin's army can also be drawn soon.

A few days later, Wang Ju received another letter from Kumamoto.

They all communicate with each other by fast horses, but because they are far away and mostly mountainous areas, Wang Ju did not receive Kumamoto's reply until late in the first lunar month.

He didn't say anything, but said that the army followed Wang Ju's instructions and stationed on the edge of Yazhou.

This is also what Kumamoto is thinking about the overall situation. Wang Ju has no right to order Kumamoto how to act. If Kumamoto is not convinced and wants to do it alone, Wang Ju will be helpless. At worst, he will participate in Kumamoto's memorial afterwards.

Several Song troops were eyeing Dali...

"Criminal Prince, I am about to write to the court to let you serve as the chief general of the Dali Road Army." Wang Ju said to Duan Zhengming.

"Young Guardian, I can't do it, I won't use military service."

"What you want is your title, you must let you really lead the troops," Wang Ju smiled. If you want to use troops, no matter how many soldiers you want.

Duan Zhengming pondered.

In fact, he was still a little repulsive.

Wang Ju asked, "Criminal, are you greedy for power?"

Duan Zhengming shook his head.

"I tell you two allusions from my dynasty. Taizu wanted a Hualan, but Zhao Pu Gong did not approve it, Taizu Wuzhi. The late emperor wanted to establish Puyi, but the ministers refuted it one after another, but the late emperor had never succeeded. Although the power was good, they had to control each other."

"I don't like the right."

"I'm not talking about you, but Dali. If you are well-read, you should know that Dali is under the jurisdiction of China. It was called Kunming in the Qin Dynasty and also called Dian Kingdom. It was established in the Western Han Dynasty, and the county was established in Shanchan Prefecture City. It was established in the Eastern Han Dynasty. It was established in Yongchang County. During the Three Kingdoms, Meng Huo wanted to rebel, but was destroyed by Zhuge Liang, and established Yunnan County and Yongchang County. It was not until the Southern Chen Dynasty that the Pu tribe quietly emerged, but the central and northern Dali was still controlled by the Central Plains dynasty. Of course, you can say that it was just a ban. But there is one thing you can't deny, that is, this land, since ancient times, most areas belong to China, and at least the ban area of ​​China."

Duan Zhengming was also thinking about the history of Dali before.

"Until the Montessus grew stronger with the support of the Tang Dynasty, it eventually devoured the Lord. In addition, the Tang Dynasty declined since the Anshi Rebellion and had no intention of looking south, Nanzhao established the country. You Dali was established on the basis of Nanzhao. But when the Central Plains dynasty was strong, how could this situation be allowed to happen? No matter what you think in your heart, I will use troops to Dali sooner or later, and you Dali will still have no intention of resisting. Compared to other people who come to use troops, my various actions are much more humane."

Duan Zhengming was silent.

During this period, he was placed under house arrest in Shicheng County. He did not really put him in house arrest. He also allowed him to move freely, but he was not allowed to talk to local people to avoid revealing his identity. However, he could hear and see...

It should be said that Wang Ju's approach is indeed very humane, and it is a world of difference from his approach in Jiaozhi.

"And you perform well, not only for your brothers, but for the people of Dali. Because you perform well, your Majesty can agree to your proposal. In the future, you will at least be the number one official in Dali in name. At the same time, you also have certain supervision rights. Under your supervision, some bad officials dare not do anything wrong. But you are determined to want rights. I have nothing to say."

Huang Hua shouted, "Criminal Prince, if it weren't for Shaobao, your brothers would have died under the ravage. Can you escape from Dali City?"

Duan Zhengming didn't know that the bridal chamber that day was just a trick, so he felt a little guilty when he saw Huang Hua.

After he sniffed, Duan Zhengming lowered his head and said, "Okay then."

Wang Ju said: "But I will tell you a good news. Although Yang Yizhen executed many of your Duan clan members together, he did not attack the Dong family, and your engaged little lady is still alive."

"Really?" Duan Zhengming asked excitedly, but his eyes dimmed. Although his fiancée was alive, his parents were all killed by Yang Yizhen.

"Do you know the story of the Shu Han emperor's delight in Shu?"

"Know."

"He is not happy and unwilling to think about Shu, but he is wise and stupid. He is the real puppet. Otherwise, he will be the highest nominal commander in the future, but he is not only the nominal commander, but also the right to supervise. Just like the censors in our dynasty, can they be said to be puppets? In this way, you understand your identity. It's okay if you have a knot, but you must figure it out. I'm not afraid that you have a knot, but you are afraid that your knot will be used by some people. After all, the Dali model in the future will be governed by the Han and the Manchus. It will also give some important people in Dali. If some of these people have a thought and use you again, your brothers will not have a good end. Do you know how Zhong Hui died?" Wang Ju said again.

"I won't."

"When the time comes, it's not whether you know it, but that if you have a knot, others can use it. At least if it's me, as long as you have a knot, I will have more than ten ways to use you." Wang Ju patiently enlightened.

What he said was not only intimidation, but facts.

In addition, Dali also needs Duan Zhengming's appeal. At least in the next ten years, Duan Zhengming will have a certain positive effect on Dali's stability.

"You go down."

Duan Zhengming thought hard and retreated.

Qiong Niang said, "I'm born in the imperial family."

"The greater the power the emperor enjoys, the greater the responsibility. Duan's family is at this point today. Isn't it the consequences they have brought about? If they were conscientiously governing Dali, would I dare to use troops to Dali?"

"Although the truth is simple, it is my turn, but few people can figure it out." Huang Hua sighed.

Not only the monarch, but also the most greedy scholars like Wen Yanbo and Han Qi.

In the end, the people at the bottom could not survive and revolt one after another. Even without external pressure, the Song Dynasty would also perish and everyone would finish it together.

But human nature is greedy and cannot think deeper. The more you think, the more complicated it will be.

Qiong Niang asked, "Officials, when will the troops be used?"

"Look, let them continue to play."

The Gao family and the Yang family continued to fight.

Wang Ju drew a line, but Gao Zhisheng didn't believe it, but had no choice but to let the soldiers from all over the line go back. As soon as he entered the line, he was defeated by Hebin and led his army one by one. Hebin also used troops in this line as promised, and did not qualify outside the line.

However, Gao Zhisheng had already developed suspicion and strong warning towards Wang Ju.

Yang Yizhen didn't know that when she received the news from Wang Ju, she really thought that Wang Ju would help him and decisively sent troops to attack Gao Zhisheng's army.

Gao Zhisheng's troops still had the advantage, but the soldiers from various southern troops were in a state of turmoil. Therefore, after a tragic battle, Gao Zhisheng's coalition army was slightly upset and retreated to Nongdong Mansion. Yang Yizhen led his army to press forward, and the army was at the city of Nongdong Mansion.

Gao Zhisheng had to call the leaders for discussion. He asked everyone to sit down and said, "We are not afraid of rebels, but we are afraid of the Song army behind them. They clearly want to reap the benefits of the fisherman."

After several battles, both sides suffered heavy losses. If they fight, Wang Ju will take over the entire Dali without any effort.

A leader said: "The Song army is very powerful."

Gao Shengtai said: "Strong and weak are relative. Although we are weak, we occupy the right time, place and people. If the Song army is really strong, we would have used troops to Dali last year."

Everyone was a little silent, most of them didn't want to collide with Wang Ju.

A leader said again: "But we are now in a stalemate with the thief, what should we do?"

"This is the intention of calling you for discussion. We will reconcile with the thieves for the time being, and promise them that we will give everything to Dali to their Yang family in the northwest, and leave the southeast to us to manage. Then we will temporarily join forces with Yang Yizhen, the thief, to deal with the Song army. After the threat of the Song army is lifted, we will decide the outcome with Yang Yizhen." Gao Zhisheng said.

"The thief may not agree."

"He is not a fool. I will send someone to analyze the interests before and after, and he will know the severity of the relationship." Of course, Gao Zhisheng was very unwilling to accept this result, and Yang Yizhen may not be willing to do so, but the current situation is obviously that neither side is absolutely sure to take the other party. Dividing Dali into two is the best solution.

Gao Zhisheng came up with this idea and suddenly Wang Ju’s expectations. (To be continued)
