Chapter 571 The Battle of Lanping (Part 2)

It is not difficult for the imperial army to defeat the remnants of Annan. With Zhang Wuzhu and Huo Bing taking care of each other, the possibility of accidents is very small. After Liu Yu looked at the topographic map in detail, he was considering whether to send troops south directly to capture the border of Annan.

It is exciting to think about the war and the struggle for territory to establish achievements. However, in the end, Liu Yu abandoned this idea. At this time, the southern border had not yet subsided, and the local military forces in Lingnan were still eyeing each other. To start a war, they also had to distinguish the main and secondary order.

The war was still smooth. Two units of the imperial army entered the river valley east of Dongyue Mountain. Annan's army was defeated again after the initial war. A large number of scattered soldiers fled south. Huo Bing led his troops to chase dozens of miles, killed nearly a thousand enemies, and captured more than 600 prisoners. On the one hand, Huo Bing was concerned about chasing the enemy, while Zhang Wuzhuze led his troops into the gathering place of Nanmiao.

On the second day of the war, on the second day of July, the remaining resistance forces in the Nan Miao area were also collapsed by the coalition forces of Zhong Miao and Zhang Wuzhu's troops, and this ethnic minority gathering place between the south of the ridge and the Annan border was completely calmed down.

After winning the battle, it should have been a time to celebrate the merits, but Liu Yu was a little happy. This time he went south to contact the ethnic minorities to resist local military forces, and then to handle Liu Liniang. Now it seems that both tasks have not been completed well. Local military forces cannot withstand the beatings and do not need the support of southern ethnic minorities, so they are already in turmoil. However, Liu Liniang is so scheming that she only knows how to use him. This makes Liu Yu feel like he is a waste of time.

Fortunately, Liu Yu met a well-behaved and charming Duolin in Lingnan, and Mi Er seemed to be very interesting to him. Liu Yu was also considering whether to bring this pair of Yue sisters back to Chang'an City directly.

Things are not easy to handle. Now one of Liu Yu's beautiful wives, Qier, is already the queen of the Dashun Dynasty. He took the women back casually outside, but he didn't know what the historians and censors who had grudges with him would say and write.

On the third day of the seventh month, Huo Bing's troops returned to the Zhongmiao village in Lanping, and at the same time, more than 600 prisoners from Annan were escorted, including the Marshal Huqibahe of the Annan army.

After several months of dormant in Yuzhou City, Huo Bing had a rare opportunity to prove himself on the battlefield. Therefore, this victory made him very complacent and he looked arrogant and domineering everywhere he went. But when he saw Liu Yu, Huo Bing came over to salute honestly, with laughter on his face.

"Catch a great general, named Huqibahe, who is a very famous general in Annan. Am I awesome?" After Huo Bing gave his salute, he began to show off to Liu Yu again.

"Do you think you are very capable?" Liu Yu asked coldly.

"Of course, otherwise, who can win so easily?"

Liu Yu ignored Huo Bing, who was complacent, and Annan's defeated bandits should not be an obstacle to the imperial army's pacification of southern borders. Huo Bing was a little too proud.

Liu Yu asked someone to interrogate Annan's prisoners and learned that Huqibahe was indeed an famous general in Annan. Liu Yu did not pay much attention. Liu Yu thought that Annan would send an envoy to discuss the issue of the prisoners, and Liu Yu only waited until then to make a note.

Liu Yu had been waiting for Zhang Wuzhu's troops to return, so that he could go north to leave Lanping together. But Liu Yu also knew that Zhang Wuzhu's troops had just destroyed several gathering places in the Southern Miao. According to the rules, the people of the defeated nations would be escorted back to Lingbei like slaves, and then sent to various places by the court. This was kindness and not harmful to life. However, according to the past situation, such a large-scale migration would not only completely divide the defeated ethnic minorities, but also cause a large number of livestock and population to die. Even if they were alive, they would have to be a cattle, a horse, and a slave to the Han people for the rest of their lives. Life would be worse than death.

Liu Yu did not want to lead these Southern Miao people to Lingbei. This was neither kind nor in line with his interests. It would be better to hand it over to the Zhongmiao people for resettlement. Although Zhongmiao and Nanmiao have certain grudges, the Miao people were originally a family. As long as some conspirators in Nanmiao were removed, Nanmiao would be stable in southern Xinjiang.

Once and for all.

Liu Yu had an idea in his mind and had not told Liu Liniang yet. Liu Liniang came to see Liu Yu that night to discuss the handling of the Miao people in the Southern Miao people.

"Oh? The Southern Miao people? They are coming to attack Lan Ping and want to seize the land and people and animals of your Zhongmiao. Now the imperial court has calmed down the southern Miao land. Do you need Nong Aluo to worry about?" Liu Yu said disdainfully.

Liu Liniang was quite helpless. She also knew that Liu Yu was angry with her now and would not discuss anything with her.

"Don't the general think that moving the Southern Miao people to the north will cause trouble and damage the people's wealth, and will still bring burden to the court?"

Liu Liniang said the same thing as Liu Yu thought, but at this time Liu Yu was annoyed and his attitude was not good.

"The alien race like Nan Miao is an enemy of the court. Now they are defeated. So many people and animals are the spoils of our court. No matter how worth it, they can still create wealth for the court to reclaim wilderness. This only requires a little insignificant food. Will this be the burden of the court?"

Liu Liniang said helplessly on her face: "It turns out that in the general's heart, our alien races in Lingnan are just like livestock, just like cattle and horses for the court."

When Liu Yu said this, he had no reason to change his words and nodded, "It's almost the same."

Liu Liniang showed a little disappointment with Liu Yu on her face, and she turned around angrily, and Liu Yu was also angry. This Liu Liniang, even though she knew she was in a cold war with him, she still came over to see her eyes and asked for unpleasant words.

Liu Yu came out of the big tent at night and was about to rest in his tent. He saw the bonfires everywhere outside Zhongmiao Dazhai, and the crowds gathered as if they were very lively.

"What's the situation?" Liu Yu asked Lian Husheng on the side.

Lian Husheng said: "Go back to the general, it seems that there is a conference to be held on the Miao people. Should we go over and take a look?"

Liu Yu thought about it, could it be about the issue of Li Lao’s ownership? Now that the war is not over, Dali Lao must be unresolved, but the problem of Li Lao in Zhongmiao must be solved. The temporary agent Lao Lao has been shot twice and is similar to a half-dead person. If Liu Liniang becomes Li Lao Lao, it should be helpful to the relationship between Miao and Han in the future.

"Take someone over and take a look." Liu Yu said.

It was originally the Zhongmiao itself, and the Northern Miao and Bai tribes did not come to participate, but Liu Yu brought the army to watch the fun. He said it was to watch the fun, but in the eyes of the Zhongmiao people, this was a bit of a suppression. The soldiers from the court arrived at the scene, and many of the Zhongmiao people had already dispersed.

Liu Yu was outside and did not see Liu Liniang who had left before, but only a few middle-aged Galuo were talking.

"General, I don't know what's wrong?" A Galuo came over and asked Liu Yu.

"I will come to ask you what's going on with this, and you need to have such a big show?"

The Ga smiled slightly and said, "This is a matter within our tribe. The general is a related person, so it seems that it is not suitable to attend!"

This was very polite, but the content was very rude. Lian Husheng immediately asked: "Why can't my general attend?"

Liu Yu thought to himself, was it the funeral of his ex-Miao Dali old man?

Liu Yu stopped Lian Husheng's rudeness and said, "Everyone said, I am a related person waiting... Hey! When did I become a related person waiting?"

"That's...you and our Arrow..."

Liu Yu blinked and then realized that "Aluo" was Liu Liniang. Ordinary Miao people could not call Liu Liniang "Nong Aluo", just as if they could not directly call the surnames of the emperor and princess. Only senior officials and family members of the Central Miao have such qualifications.

"What's the specific thing?" Liu Yu asked.

"Please forgive me for not being able to tell me about this. The general should go back first. There should be news later."

Liu Yu remembered that two days ago, Liu Liniang told him that he would be burned to death by fire. Could it be that it was related to this? Now that the war has ended, it is the turn of Zhongmiao people to liquidate Liu Liniang?

"No!" Liu Yu said with a tough attitude, "You said too, I will be a related person, I will be your A Luo's man, she admitted it personally. Get out of the way!"

Naga could not have imagined that Liu Yu's attitude was so strong, so he was simply unreasonable. He went directly to the conference hall next to the central building of Zhongmiao Dazhai. The people from Zhongmiao wanted to stop him, but when they saw Liu Yu's murderous look as if he was full of guns and live ammunition, they all retreated timidly. In the past few days, the people from Zhongmiao have completely seen the difference between the powerful imperial army and the land-kui army like those bandits. They also knew that this group of people could not afford to offend him.

Without a leader, no one dares to stop Liu Yu from entering Zhongmiao Village.

The meeting hall of Zhongmiao was next to the mound building. It was a wooden building with an area similar to that of ordinary Miao houses. Liu Yu came to the door and some of the Zhongmiao people standing at the door were shocked. When they saw the old man from Galuozhai in Zhongmiao again, they could only rule the power behind the scenes, and they also made way for a clear way.

The lights were on in the conference hall, as if a "trial meeting" was being held. Liu Yu rushed in and then a low figure emerged from the door. It was the little loli who had a close relationship with him before, and also Nongdu's daughter.

"You...what are you here to do?" Unlike the arrogant girl who saw Liu Yu before, this time the girl seemed a little timid when she saw him.

"It's nothing, get out of the way!" Liu Yu pushed away the little loli who was blocking the road and broke into the door of the Miao Village Conference Hall alone.

Before lifting the curtain, Galuo and the old village behind him were still persuading Liu Yu.

As soon as Liu Yu entered the door, he felt the lights open, and then he heard the woman screaming "Ah!", as if there was more than one sound.

Liu Yu looked at it carefully and realized that the whole room was full of women, and they were all Miao girls wearing Miao festivals. These women were old and young, and there was a bed chair in the middle, and there was a woman lying on it. It was Liu Liniang who had seen Liu Yu before. Unlike the woman standing next to him, Liu Liniang was covered with a white cloth like a bed sheet, and when Liu Liniang saw Liu Yu, she was also frowning at him.

"General, what are you here to do?" Liu Liniang asked with a tighter cover.
