The war to regain the Central Guizhou Road did not require the troops of Liu Manqing and the Liu family.
Song Yang can directly lead the Renaissance Army to get it done, and it will be efficient and fast without any delay.
After the victory, in order to keep the Central Guizhou Road from chaos, some troops must be left behind to guard it.
At this time, those in the Liu family came into use.
Their strength is not that great, but if they hold the city and defend it, there will still be no problem.
Chen Xi was lost entirely because of the fault of the traitor Gao Huaipei.
With such a powerful force like Jiangzhou suppressing them, the possibility of another traitor being revealed is extremely slim.
After all, the Renaissance Army may attack at any time. When the Renaissance Army takes over again, those rebel generals will have no chance to throw themselves into their arms.
Liu Manqing and Liu Yuhua were called in, and Song Mao explained what had been discussed previously.
"sure!"
Liu Yuhua agreed without thinking.
She must be going to Fengzhou to search for her previous memories. This is the knot in her heart.
But the brother and sister Liu Jinpeng were really good to her. Even in the most critical moment, they did not give up themselves to please Jiu An.
With Liu Jinpeng's hatred at stake here, Liu Yuhua can't just leave and go to Fengzhou to search for his memories for the time being.
On the other side, Liu Manqing also wants revenge, and more strongly than Liu Yuhua.
Liu Jinpeng was surrounded and died because he was trying to cover their retreat. Liu Manqing has always blamed herself deeply.
So she is more eager and anxious about revenge.
But at this time, she could not easily agree to Song Yang's help in revenge.
It's not that she doesn't want to agree, it's that she can't bring up the bargaining chip to convince Song Yang and others.
She only has so many people on her hands now, and they are not enough to fill the gap between Tanzhou's soldiers.
Why should people help you take revenge?
Even if we want to regain the lost territory on the Central Guizhou Road, we only need to surrender Jiu'an or even drive him into the deep mountains and old forests.
With the strength of the Renaissance Army, this is an easy task.
Now it is only because of the agent's problem that I have some qualifications to talk to Song Yang Group.
But this is not enough. Song Yang and the others can wait slowly and find someone who is familiar with the Middle Guizhou Road.
But he couldn't wait any longer. If Liu Jinpeng waited until Song Yang and the others found a suitable candidate, it would be even harder to avenge him.
Regardless of whether Jiu An fled into the mountains or forests, he still sought refuge with the Song Yang Group.
Liu Manqing has almost no chance of succeeding.
Count on Liu Yuhua... After all, they are not biological brothers and sisters. No matter how deeply they are in love, Song Chengwang may not be able to help persuade Song Yang.
Liu Manqing thought about it for a long time and could only say with a wry smile: "Your Majesty, you two princes, if you can help me avenge my brother, I am willing to donate all the soldiers, horses and treasures of the Liu family."
Liu Manqing could only take out this little thing.
"Not enough! You are a bandit leader. If you rebel on the Central Guizhou Road, you will have to go on an expedition again."
Song Mao bluntly said that he could not trust Liu Manqing.
"This..." Liu Manqing was also very embarrassed.
There are no real relatives left in their family, and no hostages can be taken out.
In terms of wealth, people don't like the Liu family's small amount of money.
"I have a way!" When everyone was silent, Liu Yuhua suddenly raised his hand.
"Let my sister marry the prince! Then it will be a marriage!"
Some time ago, Jiu An sent several rounds of envoys to propose marriage, but they were all sent away by Liu Jinpeng.
But Liu Yuhua completely remembered the marriage.
When it comes to my sister getting married, marrying that black monkey like Jiu An, how can she compare to a pretty guy like Song Yang...
Liu Yuhua had a son, Song Chengwang, so she thought about finding a family for her sister...
As soon as Liu Yuhua said these words, the atmosphere in the room became extremely strange.
Both parties involved and non-parties were stunned.
"no!"
Before Liu Manqing could react, the first person to refuse turned out to be Song Chengwang.
Song Yang tilted his head and looked at this kid. Although I don't agree, what do you mean by refusing on my behalf...
"If your sister marries my Uncle Wang, then you and I will no longer be the same generation!" Song Chengwang said in a surprising way.
"How could it be! My sister is my sworn sister!" Liu Yuhua emphasized.
"Oh! That's right! Whatever it is!" Song Chengwang agreed to the marriage...
"Right." Liu Yuhua echoed.
"Nonsense!"
Song Yang rolled his eyes at these two guys. He couldn't come up with any substantive solution, so he just messed around.
Only then did Liu Manqing realize what he had just said.
For a moment, my face turned red with embarrassment.
"Well...if Ayang takes a concubine or something, I don't think my father will object." Song Mao's voice appeared at an inappropriate time.
"Brother! Please don't mention this matter."
Song Yang looked at Song Mao speechlessly.
"Then let's do it. We will help you take revenge, and you will become the general guarding Qianzhong Road."
"The king will station officials in various places in central Guizhou Province, and you must cooperate with their work. Well... you will come to Jiangzhou to report on your work once a year from now on."
In order to alleviate the embarrassment, Song Yang quickly came up with a preliminary solution.
"Yes! I will obey the king's order!" Liu Manqing also used the donkey down the slope to hold his fist and agree.
However, she still felt a little disappointed in her heart.
"Does the prince look down on me?"
Song Yang just thought again: "How can such a proposal be made in public! This Yuhua! You are so ignorant! Let's talk in private... At least I am mentally prepared..."
…
The matter on Qianzhong Road was thus settled.
The overall policy is:
First, Song Yang helped Liu Manqing avenge Liu Jinpeng.
Then, help Liu Manqing recruit Liu's old troops to surrender.
Finally, Liu Manqing led Liu's old troops to help Song Yang maintain the tranquility of the Central Guizhou Road.
Of course, government affairs must be managed by Song Yang's stationed officials.
After finalizing the action strategy, the next step is the specific issue of fighting.
Liu Manqing volunteered to become a former military academy lieutenant.
She can help lead the way, commonly known as the guide party.
After living in Chenzhou for three years, I am very familiar with the topography of Chenzhou, especially Chenxi, Shupu and other places.
Song Yang was also happy to hire Liu Manqing as a leader.
The date for dispatching troops was quickly decided, three days later!
Song Yang had only been in Changsha for five days. The main purpose of waiting these days was to dispatch troops and generals.
The main force of the Western Expedition was an army of 80,000, composed of revival armies from many places.
Fengzhou's 30,000 Renaissance Army was the main force, led by Niu Laosan.
Wang Yongning served as deputy general and commanded the 5,000 people brought by Yuezhou.
Song Mao's 30,000 troops from Tanzhou also followed him on the expedition as an army.
In addition, there were 5,000 soldiers from Shaozhou, 5,000 soldiers from Langzhou, and 5,000 soldiers from Hengzhou.
Three days later, all troops and horses will be ready.
The 80,000-strong army divided into three groups and marched into Chenzhou.
Five thousand soldiers and horses from Langzhou on the northern route attacked Xizhou. Their main task was to hold back Jiu'an's troops in the north.
The South Route Army sent 10,000 soldiers and horses from Shaozhou and Yongzhou to the west from Shaozhou to attack Wuzhou, while Tanyang contained the South Route troops in Jiu'an.
Song Yang personally commanded the main force of 65,000 elite troops and went straight to Yuanling.
Yuanling is Jiu'an's main stronghold outside Wuling Mountain. As long as Yuanling is removed, Liu Jinpeng's subordinates will immediately switch sides.
Song Yang was too lazy to go to Shupu and Chenxi to quarrel with Liu Jinpeng's old troops. He wanted to capture Yuanling directly and wait for the rebel generals to come and throw themselves into his arms.
In early September, the troops arrived at Yuanling, the capital city of Chenzhou.
The battle with the southwestern barbarians is about to break out.
