"General of the Conquest of the South?"

Ma Liang and Ma Su were stunned. Zhuge Liang gave people the impression that he was elegant and calm, and he was no less talented than Xiao He's prime minister.

Now that His Majesty has appointed him as the General of the Conquest South? The two of them always feel that Zhuge Liang's temperament is somewhat inconsistent with the commander who led the army.

"I accept the order!"

Zhuge Liang had no objection. Now Yizhou and Jingzhou have stabilized, and only a stable policy is needed, without his constant attention.

Compared with the rear-end sorting out government affairs, Zhuge Liang also had a strong interest in commanding the army. If he could personally lead the army to fight south and north and revive the Han Dynasty, his life would be complete.

Moreover, as long as he can lead the army to recover the Central Plains, Zhuge Liang can truly shock the history books. His achievements far exceed all civil and military officials and generals from ancient times to the present, leaving his immortal name.

For Yang Yun, it was nothing to let Zhuge Liang get such a reputation. Anyway, as long as he didn't die, he would not be afraid of a failure.

"The original timeline was that Zhuge Liang personally led a large army, took Ma Su as his army to go south, crossed Lu in May, went deep into the barren land, and easily pacified the southern center!"

It was because of this that Yang Yun took this appointment.

Now the Shu army is sufficiently armed and has no shortage of food, grass and supplies, which is stronger than the original timeline. With Zhuge Liang's ability, it is not difficult to solve the problems in Nanzhong.

"Which general is needed to accompany Kong Ming in this southern expedition?" Yang Yun asked.

"There are two generals Guan Xing and Zhang Bao! There are also Ma Su and Ma Youchang!"

Zhuge Liang had sufficient confidence in himself. He did not bring any of the three peerless generals, but only Ma Su and Guan Xing and Zhang Bao.

Yang Yun knew what Zhuge Liang was thinking.

Zhuge Liang was the first to command the army and did not have much prestige in the army. Guan Xing and Zhang Bao had the legacy of Guan Yu and Zhang Fei. As long as they could get the two to follow the orders together, the morale of the army would naturally not be a problem.

"Okay! Pass on my order and allow Guan Xing Zhang Bao to be the general and Ma Su to be the army!" Yang Yun immediately ordered and agreed to Zhuge Liang's all requests.

After the meetings of the main hall, several ministers retreated. Subsequently, the news that Zhuge Liang was removed from the position of prime minister and became the general of the southern expedition quickly spread in the capital.

This news has attracted countless surprises.

However, no matter how much discussions outside the world are, they cannot change the determination of Yang Yun and Zhuge Liang. Soon, Li Yan served as the Minister of the Republic, and Ma Liang went to Wudao to prepare food, grass and weapons, using this place as a frontier base.

Half a month later, Yang Yun took the stage to the general outside the capital and gave Zhuge Liang a scepter. He led 40,000 elite troops to the Jade Road along the waterway, and began to divide his troops to capture the counties in the Nanzhong.

After Zhuge Liang led his troops south, Yang Yun rarely went to Qingcheng Mountain to practice, but instead took over the capital and began to personally handle various government affairs in Yizhou and Jingzhou.

He also held great power in the previous worlds and was not unfamiliar with handling internal affairs. He used to feel like he wasting time and didn't do it.

Now he handled it himself, and it took only one or two days to get started easily.

In April of the fifth year of Zhangwu, Zhuge Liang led his army to defeat Gao Ding, the governor of Yueli County, and easily killed Yongkai and pacified Yueli County. He then went south to Yizhou County and captured Meng Huo alive.

However, in order to conquer the hearts of the Southern Barbarians, Zhuge Liang let Meng Huo leave.

In May, the army crossed the Lu River and attacked the Southern Barbarians again...

After becoming the General of the Southern Conquest, Zhuge Liang gradually tempered himself and began to connect the military formation theory he knew with actual marching operations, and his experience in commanding troops continued to increase.

"After the Battle of Southern Central, Zhuge Liang will almost become a first-class commander!"

Yang Yun thought to himself. This battle in Southern Central was actually to give Zhuge Liang experience and increase his commander's ability.

In the original timeline, later generations said that Zhuge Liang was a peerless figure who was proficient in internal affairs and military affairs. Some people also commented that Zhuge Liang was just Xiao He's second best and was good at internal affairs, so his military strategy was not his strength.

In Yang Yun's opinion, Zhuge Liang was listed as the Ten Philosophers of the Wu Temple in later generations and was as famous as Bai Qi, Han Xin, Li Jing, Wu Qi and others, which can explain everything.

Zhuge Liang claimed that he was not inferior to Guan Zhong and Leyi, and he was not just talking nonsense, but had real skills.

However, leading troops to fight is different from internal affairs, and you must have some experience to exert all your abilities. Before the Battle of Nanzhong, Liu Bei personally led the troops in all the wars in Shu Han. Zhuge Liang was in charge of the rear and had never held military power.

The Battle of Southern Central was the process of Zhuge Liang increasing his experience. After this battle, Zhuge Liang's command ability became the best in the world. In addition to lacking experience, he was no less than any commander general in the world.

It was precisely because of lack of experience that Ma Su was stationed in Jieting, which led to the failure of the first Northern Expedition.

However, even if he was defeated, the army commanded by Zhuge Liang did not suffer much loss and could easily return to Hanzhong.

After absorbing the experience of the first Northern Expedition, Zhuge Liang's commander evolved again. He showed it to the fullest in the next few Northern Expeditions.

In the same year, because the Wei army went east to Jiangdong, they sent troops to restrain them. After attracting the Wei army to aid, they immediately retreated, and during the retreat, they killed the Wei general Wang Shuang.

During the second northern expedition, Zhuge Liang marched into Qishan, cut wheat on Shangqiu, defeated Sima Yi, beheaded more than 3,000 yuan, and seized countless military funds for food and grass. However, because Li Yan was in the rear, the transportation of food and grass was unfavorable, he retreated.

When withdrawing troops, he set up an ambush and shot Zhang He to death in Mumendao. The third northern expedition led to the Wuzhangyuan and even garrisoned the land and raised troops under the nose of the Wei army. If it weren't for heavy rain, he could even kill Sima Yi's army and attack Chang'an.

From the lack of experience at the beginning to the end, to the fact that he led tens of thousands of elite troops and fought against more than 100,000 Wei troops, and was able to advance and retreat freely and had an absolute advantage, the Wei army did not dare to confront the Shu army head-on. This shows Zhuge Liang's ability to command troops!

Lu Xun, who won the Battle of Yiling and the Battle of Shiting in history, was also inferior to Zhuge Liang.

"I hope Zhuge Liang can quickly evolve to the peak! With Zhuge Liang assisting him, three peerless generals of Ma Chao, Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong will definitely be the striker, and no one can stop him!"

When Yang Yun was leisurely in the capital, the war reports from Nanzhong kept coming.

Zhuge Liang led a large army of troops and won consecutive victories. His troops even reached the southernmost end of Yongchang County, almost bordering Jiaozhi County in Jiaozhou.

Meng Huo, the leader of the Southern Barbarians, captured seven times and completely subdued him.

The troops were sent out in March, and by September, the war was coming to an end.
