The so-called Yizhou refers to the northern area of Jiannan Road.
These include Yizhou, Suizhou, Jianzhou, Zizhou, Mianzhou and other places.
After the natural disaster, Song Yang's communication with the entire Jiannan Road was completely cut off due to the obstruction of the Central Guizhou Road.
It wasn't until Shannan West Road surrendered that Song Yang sent someone to inquire about the news about Jiannan Road.
As a result, there was a peasant uprising in Suizhou, which was close to Zizhou on Shannan West Road.
The war blocked traffic, making it difficult for spies to penetrate deep into the interior of Jiannan Road.
So until now, Song Yang has not figured out the situation on Jiannan Road.
The original plan was to first explore the Central Plains in the north, then collect the Qianzhong Road, and finally go to the Jiannan Road to see what the situation was like.
As a result, as soon as Qianzhong Road was settled, Jiannan Road appeared on its own.
Moreover, they also advanced eastward and even hit the Central Guizhou Road that they had just prepared to take over.
"Third brother! Immediately! Send troops to Qinzhou! I want to see who dares to dominate Jiannan Road!"
Song Yang blew his beard and shouted with eyes wide open.
The more anxious he was to get home, the more things happened, and he could only scream in anger.
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!" Juluo came over and said.
"Your Majesty, there has been a war in Jiannan Road before. It seems that there was civil unrest in Zizhou and Suizhou, and the rebels fought all the way to Yizhou. I heard that there was an official army coming to Yizhou before."
"Officers and soldiers? Are they fighting now, are they officers and soldiers or civilians?" Song Yang asked with a frown.
"This... I don't know yet. This year Jiu'an transferred me from Sizhou to Chenzhou, and I stopped paying attention to the news there. But I feel that since they dare to invade eastward, they must be from Yizhou.
It determines the outcome." Ju Luo explained.
"Hmph! Forget it! No matter who it is, let me see who dares to compete with me for territory! I originally planned to put them last, but since I don't know what I am doing, don't blame me for taking action in advance!" Song Yang said angrily.
"The whole army listens to the order! Set off for Qinzhou!"
After Song Yang gave the order, the Renaissance Army soldiers who originally planned to go home could only make a 180-degree turn and set off directly to Qinzhou.
Also accompanying him were Juluo's 10,000 horses.
Originally, Juluo was planning to see Song Yang off, but now he is accompanying him.
Song Yang, a member of the Liu family, stayed put and asked them to take over military affairs in Chenzhou, Xizhou and other places.
Transferring Ju Luo away also gave Liu Manqing the opportunity to take over his territory.
Ju Luo didn't want to go either, but Song Yang gave the order, but he didn't dare to disobey, so he could only follow the army all the way westward.
On October 6th, a fast horse chased us from behind, and Luoyang was restored!
Song Yang was so happy that he wrote a congratulatory letter to Wei Nan himself.
At the same time, he was instructed to continue going north, take Chang'an back directly, and then go closer to Hedong Road and Guannai Road.
We will strive to take over all the bandits’ territory before next summer.
After receiving this good news, Song Yang's depressed mood finally improved.
On October 7th, the army crossed the Fuling River and entered Feizhou.
On the same day, news came from the west. It was the army that attacked Qinzhou!
Called himself General Yizhou.
"Huh? Daqianguanjun? General Yizhou?" Song Yang was stunned.
He didn't know what the official position of General Yizhou was. Maybe he called himself himself after the natural disaster.
But since we dare to call ourselves an official army and use the banner of Daqian, we can still consider it as our own team.
We are the prince of Daqian, and the soldiers of Daqian are of course our own.
Song Yang waved, and Wang Yongning came over.
"Send a letter to this General Yizhou and tell him that I have asked him to meet in Qinzhou!"
Song Yang planned to talk to this Yizhou general first, and if he really belonged to Da Gan's team, then he would try to recruit him.
On October 23, after nearly a month of trekking, Song Yang finally led a large army to Rongyi, the capital city of Qinzhou.
Outside Rongyi City, Song Yang also met the so-called General Yizhou.
"The last general, the commander-in-chief of the Yizhou Army, Xiao Yuebai! Meet His Highness the King of Jiangzhou!"
General Yizhou lifted his robe and bowed, and Song Yang realized that this person was Xiao Yuebai, the general of Yizhou Zhonglang.
He had heard of this man, but didn't know him.
General Zhonglang is a third-grade military general. It sounds like he is not a high-ranking general, but in fact he is the most powerful person in the Yizhou Army.
Yizhou is an important town in the southwest, and the imperial court established an army in Yizhou called the Yizhou Army.
The Yizhou Army has four people, including the general and the general.
However, they are all empty titles, and the general is led by a Beijing official.
In fact, the highest commanders of the Yizhou Army were the two Zhonglang Generals.
After the natural disaster, only Xiao Yuebai was left among the generals.
Therefore, the entire Yizhou Army was under his jurisdiction.
There was a civil uprising a few years ago. The chaos was violent at first, but soon it swept through most of Jiannan Road.
Xiao Yuebai remained calm and gathered all the remaining elites from the Yizhou Army and various local guards, as well as prefecture soldiers, government soldiers, and government officials from various government offices, into the city of Chengdu.
The walls of Chengdu are high and thick, and natural disasters do not cause much damage to the walls.
Xiao Yuebai repaired the city wall before the chaos arrived.
So relying on the fortified city, we managed to survive for more than three years.
For more than three years, not a single reinforcement was seen, and all those sent out died.
Xiao Yuebai guessed that Da Qianer was probably finished.
He did not give up completely. After repelling the rebels, he began to gradually regain Jiannan Road.
After more than a year of arduous fighting, Xiao Yuebai finally quelled the chaos in early June this year.
So he got in touch with Li Chengen of Shannan West Road and heard that Daqian was still there and that the king of Jiangzhou in Jiangnan was now in charge.
Xiao Yuebai contacted Jiangzhou through Li Chengen and marched eastward.
Because he heard that King Jiangzhou had begun the Northern Expedition.
In order to cooperate with the Northern Expedition, Xiao Yuebai planned to march eastward and conquer the Central Guizhou Road. By then, he would be able to seek refuge with Song Yang for better development.
As a result, Song Yang came as soon as he defeated Qinzhou.
And they have already taken care of the Central Guizhou Road!
In the middle of Shu, we need to take a detour from Shannan West Road to Jiangzhou to deliver the message.
Jiangzhou received the letter and forwarded it to Song Yang on Qianzhong Road.
So until now, Xiao Yuebai's letter is still on the way...
Xiao Yuebai made a grand ceremony and told Song Yang a lot about his own experience.
Song Yang was filled with emotion after hearing this.
"General Xiao is such a loyal and loyal man! He led the Yizhou army and people to hold on for three years and quelled the rebellion in Jiannan Road. It is really a great achievement!"
"Your Majesty has given you too much praise. This is what the general should do! The general is deeply favored by the emperor, and it is time to serve the country during this natural disaster!" Xiao Yuebai said humbly.
"By the way. Why did you name yourself General Yizhou?" Song Yang asked curiously.
If it is a certain general of the Yizhou Army, or a general of the Yizhou Army, that is the official banner.
Directly to General Yizhou, there is no official official of this Daqian.
Xiao Yuebai smiled awkwardly and said: "Your Majesty is laughing at me. I have been fighting with the rebels in the past few years. Most of them are illiterate people from the mountains. They don't even know what Zhonglang General is. So I just decided to Calls himself General Yizhou."
"Oh. That's it." Song Yang nodded and understood.
Xiao Yuebai now controls Jiannan Road, and has recruited and expanded an army of hundreds of thousands.
It stands to reason that this is the time to be in high spirits.
If it were anyone else, Xiao Yuebai would not be so humble.
But Song Yang was different. He had already contacted Li Chengen.
Li Chengen told him about the situation in Jiangzhou, including artillery, guns, and locomotives.
You already know Song Yang's strength, how dare you show off in front of Song Yang.
Song Yang was very satisfied with Xiao Yuebai's attitude.
"General Xiao, you have made great contributions to the country, so be it. Follow me back to Jiangzhou, and I will discuss your merits and reward you." Song Yang wanted to take Xiao Yuebai to Jiangzhou for a visit.
Firstly, he wanted to show his power, and secondly, he wanted Xiao Yuebai to learn from Jiangzhou’s advanced experience.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Yuebai shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, the last general cannot leave Jiannan Road for the time being."
"Your Majesty, the Tibetan movement happened some time ago. There are Tibetan harassments in Yazhou, Gongzhou and other places. If the general leaves, the Tibetans will definitely take the opportunity to move eastward."
After Xiao Yuebai explained, Song Yang finally understood that there was another enemy in Xitou.
And it's a formidable enemy.
The relationship between Tubo and Daqian has never been very close.
Although he once became a minister, he was capricious.
In this natural disaster, Daqian's losses were much more serious than those of Tubo.
Therefore, as soon as the Tubo people's internal strife ended, they began to pay attention to Daqian.
However, Jiannan Road was guarded by Xiao Yuebai, and the Tubo people harassed them and were beaten back.
But they haven't given up, and have been causing trouble in the border areas recently.
Therefore, Xiao Yuebai did not dare to leave Jiannan Road too far.
"Tubo...these people are really difficult to deal with." Song Yang frowned.
Tubo is difficult to defeat, mainly because of altitude sickness.
Almost all sergeants in the Central Plains will suffer from altitude sickness once they step onto the plateau.
The Tubo people would use this opportunity to raid the Central Plains soldiers.
"My lord, actually there is no way to deal with the Tubo people." Xiao Yuebai came up and said.
"Oh? What can I do? Let me tell you."
"Your Majesty, the difficulty in Tubo is miasma. As long as we train an army that can overcome miasma, we will be able to defeat those barbarians in Tubo!"
"How to train?"
"Zhezhou, Gongzhou, Liangzhou and other places to the west of us all have high mountains. You can choose a soldier and horse to live and train in the high mountains. After three to five months of training, you can overcome the miasma."
"If we go out to conquer Tibet then, we will definitely be able to defeat them!"
The method proposed by Xiao Yuebai can be called plateau training. There are also some plateaus in the west of Jiannan Road, where an army that can adapt to high-resistance can be trained first to fight the Tibetans.
"This method is feasible!" Song Yang listened to his method and nodded in agreement.
"General Xiao. Since you proposed this method, it is up to you to implement it. All materials will be provided by me."
"In addition, I will send someone to Jiannan Road as soon as possible, and you will do a good job in handing over the civil affairs."
Song Yang arranged work for Xiao Yuebai, and at the same time bluntly eliminated his civil power.
Xiao Yuebai had no objection and hurriedly clasped his fists and said, "Just follow the prince's orders! The civil handover can be carried out at any time. It's just..."
"you say."
"Your Majesty, the general has also appointed some officials in the past few years..."
Song Yang waved his hand and said: "Keep the ones who can!"
Xiao Yuebai breathed a sigh of relief, clasped his fists at Song Yang and said, "General, I am willing to stay by your side from now on!"
Xiao Yuebai is confident that the people he promotes are talented and capable.
In recent years, under his management, Jiannan Road has gradually restored people's livelihood.
