Juluo withdrew, and with the help of suspicious soldiers, he held back the Fuxing Army while running away with the big men and elders.
It was said that he would not return to the Qing Dynasty for the time being, but some things were still done, such as the release of Wu Ming and the restoration of Hua Dong.
These two people survived the natural disaster and originally planned to be capable ministers in troubled times, but before they could clean up the situation, the barbarians rebelled.
Wu Ming, a civil servant, had hundreds of people under his command, and he was caught in minutes.
After all, Hua Dongfu still has about a hundred guardsmen under his command.
After competing with the barbarians for three months, in the end, they were no match for the barbarians in the mountains, and it could only end miserably.
In the end, the two of them were arrested together by Jiu An.
After Jiu'an raised his army, he captured two imperial officials for the first time, and planned to sacrifice them to the flag.
So he asked Juluo to execute them both.
In the end, Ju Luo made two dead bodies to fool Jiu An. Of course, Jiu An would not do an autopsy himself, so he allowed Ju Luo's plan to succeed.
In the end, the two of them were secretly placed under house arrest by Juluo. Although they were entertained with delicious food and drinks, they still had no freedom at all.
Ju Luo never puts his eggs in one basket.
The reason for keeping them is that in case Dagan becomes stronger again, we can build a bridge through them.
No, when the opportunity came, these two people took advantage of it.
"Your Majesty, the leader of the Man Yue, Ju Luo, said that his heart is towards Da Qian, but he was forced by the big head Jiu An to become the enemy of our army in Yuanling."
After asking about their situation, Hua Dongfu mentioned what Ju Luo asked him to help convey.
Song Yang smiled and said: "It is said that people's hearts are separated from each other. In order to fight for power and gain, the father and son would betray themselves to such a degree."
He forgot that there were actually more such things in the royal family.
"Let's go. Go to Yuanling!"
After taking in Wu Ming and Hua Dongfu, Song Yang felt completely relaxed.
Defeating Jiu An is not a problem.
The difficult part is managing these barbarians.
Now there are not only Liu Manqing and other members of the Liu family, but also Ju Luo, a wise man.
At that time, you can consider supporting him and letting him be the toast of Qianzhong Road.
The army set out and soon arrived at Yuanling.
Sure enough, the city gate was wide open.
Ju Luo has disappeared.
The barbarian people in the city were pouring out of the city at this time.
They all feared repression from the Dagan people.
"Go and appease the people." Song Yang turned around and signaled.
Feng Yue immediately led people forward to stop the people from escaping.
"Folks, don't leave. We are an army of cadres!"
"Jiu An acted against the will..."
"Hey! Don't leave! The prince is here in person!"
Feng Yue's long speech had just begun, and the barbarian people ran faster.
"I'll do it." Liu Manqing came over.
Feng Yue looked towards Song Yang, saw Song Yang nodded, and then took two steps back.
"Folks! I am Liu Manqing from the Liu family in Chenxi. You should have heard of me."
Liu Manqing shouted to the barbarian people.
Not to mention, with just this sentence, many people stood still.
Of course they have heard of Liu Manqing from the Liu family, the famous beautiful general in Chenxi.
Moreover, the Liu family of Chenxi was very good to the barbarian people.
Liu Jinpeng's plan to clean up the Barbarians was not carried out, and the people had a good impression of his Liu family.
"Folks, my brother was killed by Jiu An, and everyone should know about this."
"This time I asked the Prince of Jiangzhou from Daqian to help me take revenge."
"We only kill the thieves in Jiu'an, and we will never attack the common people."
"You all should know what kind of people our Liu family is, and we will never embarrass the fellow villagers."
Liu Manqing puts her family's affairs first.
The people have a certain foundation of trust in the Liu family, and they know the conflict between Jiu'an and the Liu family.
Now that the Liu family is fighting, if Jiu An is eliminated, then the Liu family will be in charge.
The Liu family's previous performance in Chenxi was more popular, and the people were willing to believe her.
Seeing more and more people stopping, Song Yang knew that the people must have believed Liu Manqing.
Then he relaxed and let her handle it.
Soon the people of Manyue were persuaded by Liu Manqing, and they no longer fled, but returned to the city honestly.
"Miss Liu did a good job!" Song Yang praised.
Liu Manqing smiled sheepishly.
This is the first time Song Yang has praised her.
It is also the first step in building trust.
In this way, revenge becomes more and more likely.
"Enter the city!" The city gate was cleared, and Song Yang waved the Renaissance army into the city.
The day after Yuanling was recaptured, the battle report of the Northern Route Army was also sent.
The Langzhou Renaissance Army occupied Dachang, Fucheng, Xizhou.
Daxiang was originally Magu's sphere of influence, and now their group is planning to join Dagan.
Naturally, there was no need to stop Daqian in the countryside. After a symbolic fight for one day, they abandoned the city and ran away early this morning.
The battle report of the Southern Route Army was sent the next day.
They met Jiu An's diehard loyalist in Wuzhou.
After two days of fighting, no substantial progress was made.
The main reason is that the terrain there is more complex, which is more suitable for the fighting style of the Man Yue soldiers.
"Tell the North and South Route Army not to be impatient, especially the South Route Army, as long as they contain part of Jiu'an's troops."
Song Yang had someone send a message back to the Northern and Southern armies, and then he concentrated on studying the next move.
Jiu'an now retreated to Qianshan stronghold.
Qianshanzhai is located at the eastern foothills of Wuling Mountain and is the only place to pass when entering Wuling Mountain.
The terrain is not particularly dangerous, but it is easy to defend and difficult to attack.
"Uncle Wang. Tomorrow I will take some people to blast him! No matter how tough the fortress is, it can't withstand us firing a hundred guns at once."
Song Chengwang suggested.
In his opinion, Yuanling City was destroyed by bombardment in three to five days. Is a cottage stronger than a city wall?
"I'm afraid it's not appropriate. The walls in the former mountain village are made of mountain rocks, which are very strong. Moreover, the terrain in front of the mountain is narrow, which is not conducive to the large-scale application of artillery. If it is used in small quantities, the effect may be average."
It was Liu Manqing who said this. After two days of performance, Song Yang was quite satisfied and had already asked her to participate in the combat meeting.
"Then do you have any good ideas?" Song Yang looked at Liu Manqing.
Liu Manqing frowned and thought for a moment and said:
"We can get out of the cave lightly, and the musketeers can climb over the front mountain and attack their rear route by surprise. There will be chaos in the village by then. If we take the opportunity to attack again, we should be able to defeat them."
Song Yang thought for a while and said: "It's a bit risky to go deep alone. If you don't have a sharp weapon, this is a good idea."
"Didn't we bring explosive packs? Artillery cover, let's put the explosive packs directly in front of us, we will definitely blow up the stronghold!"
"That's right! I forgot about the explosive pack! That thing is so powerful that it can definitely blow up the former cottage!" Niu Laosan clapped his hands.
"I am willing to carry out the task of blowing up the wall!" Wang Yongning volunteered.
At this time, Liu Manqing was a little confused.
She didn't know what explosive charges were. Those artillery pieces had been used in the past few days, but the explosive charges had never been used.
But it doesn't matter anymore, as long as we take the former mountain stronghold, we can go deep into the hinterland of Manyue, and we will be one step closer to catching Jiu An and taking revenge.
As soon as the attack strategy was discussed here, the guards came over to report:
"Your Majesty, two groups of people came from outside the city, saying they are the guards of Chenxi and Shupu."
