If Li You did not help the Song Dynasty to restore the country again, he would probably take simpler and more rude means in the face of such problems. However, after experiencing the Song Dynasty, Li You handled such things more smoothly. At first glance, Shi Hongzhi seemed to be a child of the Shi family and seemed to have many conflicts with the court. However, if he carefully analyzed that he and the rulers of the Shi family also had huge cracks. So why could not use these cracks to pull him to his side?

This not only weakens the enemy's strength but also strengthens himself, but also lays a nail next to Jiang Suiyun. Although Jiang Suiyun has already expressed his surrender to the court, he surrenders to King Fu, not himself. It is hard to say which side he will stand on if something happens in the future. Now with Shi Hong staring at him, Li You can feel much more at ease. In this way, a simple move has achieved the effect of three killings, but it is much more effective than simple killing.

Since Shi Hongzhi has returned to his heart, he also told him all about the internal affairs of the Shi family without hesitation. What methods would they take to prevent Li You's army from defeating the Southern Barbarians? How do they divide the internal forces of the Southern Barbarians? How can they defeat them at the lowest cost? And those wealthy families colluded with them. If it weren't for the people in the game, they would not have known these things so thoroughly.

While heading south, they carefully learned about the situation in Lingnan and the distribution of the strength of the Southern Barbarians. With the help of Jiang Suiyun and Shi Hongzhi, the traps arranged by the Lingnan families were also discovered by Li You one by one. The army still maintained the marching speed that surprised them. Soon they caught up with the Southern Barbarians who wanted to withdraw from the Great Wei.

"Report to the Grand Marshal, the army of the Southern Barbarian King Wuligu is ahead of him. Wuligu's tribe is the largest pineapple of the Southern Barbarians. He temporarily suppressed the other tribes with his powerful military power. If he could kill them, the Southern Barbarians would fall into murderous killing each other and would never have time to go north again." Shi Hongzhi knew very well about the internal situation of the Southern Barbarians.

This is similar to the situation in Mobei. Li You nodded slightly. If he had defeated the army of Tang Kuo in the Battle of Haoshuichuan, those Arubu, whose strength was greatly weakened, would not be able to continue to be king and dominate Mobei. Those tribes of all sizes would become a group, and there would be so many troubles later.

Seeing that it was getting late, Li You ordered, "The army stopped advancing and camped for rest. We began to attack the Southern Barbarian army early tomorrow morning. General Qin acted as the vanguard, and General Zhou and his officers were in the rear."

"I will obey the order!" Qin Shixin and Zhou Bofu responded in the same voice. Qin Shixin looked happy, but Zhou Bofu was extremely depressed. He traveled thousands of miles away and finally caught up with the Southern Barbarian army, but now he can only watch others perform. He is really panicked.

"General Zhou must not be in a hurry. This contrast should be one of the Southern Barbarians. You will inevitably have the opportunity to fight in the future." Li You comforted Wenyan, and Zhou Bofu became happy again.

Wuligu originally wanted to take advantage of the night to attack, but unexpectedly, he was discovered by Li You's army's sergeant on the way. After receiving the news, Li You took the opportunity to set up an ambush. The three thousand night attacks were left to escape back in the end. Before the war began, the Southern Barbarians lost one first, and their morale plummeted.

Early the next morning, Qin Shixin commanded his Hedong Army to start the rushing. He waved his maces and rushed straight to the front, heading straight to the Wuligu Banner. How could those Southern Barbarians, who were not even equipped with weapons, be such an elite opponent? Qin Shixin broke through several defense lines of the Southern Barbarians one after another, and there were no less than ten Southern Barbarian generals who were knocked down by him.

Seeing that his side was about to lose, Wuligu quickly sent his most powerful army, an elephant army composed of hundreds of elephants. The elephants were painted with bright paint on various daunting patterns. Many archers sat on the elephants' backs and shot highly poisonous arrows. It was with this trump card that he defeated Jiang Suiyun in the previous war. Now he took them out in the hope of turning the situation around like last time.

The huge body and bright patterns of the elephant really scared Qin Shixin's Hedong Army, but Li You had already received the news from Shi Hongzhi and was prepared accordingly. After experiencing the initial panic, Qin Shixin quickly reconstrained the army. The soldiers put away their weapons, reached out to take out a bamboo tube from their arms, put them on the fire stick, lit them far away and threw them towards the front of the elephant.

Shortly after the bamboo tube landed, a ball of fire appeared, and a huge roar burst out, which immediately changed the situation on the battlefield. This was the secret weapon prepared by Li You to deal with the Elephant Army. Although the gunpowder produced by Gu Jiangzi is not as good as that used by the Qi family army, and cannot cause huge damage to the enemy, it is still no problem to make a huge roar.

It should be noted that although the elephants look huge, they are extremely timid animals. In addition, almost all animals are afraid of the fire. Under the dual effects of the fire and the roar, the elephants immediately became crazy and were frightened and fled in all directions. Most of them turned around and ran back, rushed directly into the Wuligu's main formation, and stepped on countless southern barbarian soldiers to death.

Not only did these elephants fail to help Uligu reverse the situation, but they also suffered huge losses. Nearly a hundred crazy elephants are not that easy to deal with. They not only trampled on countless southern barbarian soldiers, but also directly broke through Uligu's camp, making them unable to even retreat to the camp to seize the walls and defend.

Qin Shixin was willing to miss such an opportunity. He immediately commanded the army to follow the elephant and rush over to harvest the lives of the Southern Barbarians. The Elephant Army, which was highly anticipated by Uligu, became their own death talisman.

"General Zhou, the enemy's defeat is decided, you go up and help!" Looking at Zhou Bofu, who had been eager to try, Li You finally let go.

Zhou Bofu was overjoyed and immediately waved his big sword to command the troops from the headquarters to rush towards the Nanman camp and fought with them.

The 30,000 Southern Barbarians and hundreds of elephants were actually wiped out by Li You for a day without even blocking them. Most of them were killed and more than 10,000 Southern Barbarians were killed on the spot, and more than 10,000 were captured. In the end, less than 3,000 people were left to escape with Wuligu, and the losses of Li You's army were almost negligible.
