Chapter 348 Yizhou Is Completely Pacified

At the same time that Liu Bei and Kong Ming left Chengdu for Hanzhong.

The battle line in Nanzhong was also advancing in an orderly manner.

As the war progressed steadily, Sima Yi was gradually amazed that Shu County did have good talents.

Just like Wu Yi, he was strict in managing soldiers, steady in using soldiers, and could lead the troops in battle.

It is not an exaggeration to say that he is a talented general.

Another example is Zhang Yi, who was just a Gongcao, but he led the troops without fear of death and charged ahead to set an example for the soldiers.

In Sima Yi's view, he was also a talented general who just lacked experience.

Zhang Yi's performance also successfully dispelled Sima Yi's doubts, but he still didn't quite understand how Liu Bei could recognize talents and promote this person against all odds.

After all, Gongcao can't be linked to leading troops in battle. There were founding heroes in the Former Han Dynasty who were Gongcao.

But Xiao Xiangguo was one of the three heroes in the early Han Dynasty, and he was also posthumously named Wenzhong in the end. How can he compare?

But no matter what, Zhang Yi is also a good general.

Sima Yi also saw this.

And even the rather inconspicuous Li Hui could check for loopholes in Sima Yi's plan to attack the Cuan family.

In particular, Li Hui was quite familiar with some big families in the south, which was also something Sima Yi envied, so his previous contemptuous attitude was gradually put away, and he wanted to make friends with these generals.

But what made Sima Yi headache was that he wanted to be humble and make friends, but these people were quite unconvinced.

When dealing with people, the garrison general Wu Yi was always serious and had a style of keeping strangers away.

When talking to Wu Yi about the strategy to attack the Cuan family, the general listened very seriously and asked questions from time to time. It can be seen that he had put a lot of effort into the military strategy.

But when talking about things other than military affairs, the general's reaction was mediocre.

Most of the time, Sima Yi was talking, Wu Yi was listening quietly, and then there was a meaningful smile on the corner of his mouth.

This simple smile made Sima Yi very uncomfortable, because it was a smile that he was very familiar with before, a smile that he could control.

When he was still in the north, Sima Yi also smiled like this when facing the envoy sent by Cao Cao to invite him to serve.

So Sima Yi had to give up on Wu Yi.

And things were not going well with Zhang Yi and Li Hui.

Zhang Yi was a frugal person. Sima Yi visited him privately twice. Once he saw this vanguard general mending his leather armor with his own hands, and the second time he happened to meet Zhang Yi in the field teaching the barbarians in the south how to use a curved plow.

These were not what Sima Yi knew or was good at, and Zhang Yi was not interested in the delicacies, delicacies, good wines, and BMWs that Sima Zhongda was familiar with.

So he had to give up.

Fortunately, the visit to Li Hui was still smooth, but that was all.

The communication with Li Hui reminded Sima Yi of his brother Sima Lang.

He was very friendly and approachable, but in fact, he was very prudent and never made close friends.

He visited several times, and they had a good chat every time, but in the end, there was no progress in the actual relationship.

After going around like this, there was no result in the end, and Sima Yi gradually gave up this idea. He just felt that the level of talents under the command of Emperor Liu was not inferior to that of Cao Cheng... Cao thief.

Rather than wasting time here, it is better to make achievements early and be favored by the emperor's uncle... lord, and return to the northern battlefield.

At that time, he, the son of the Sima family, still needs to endure all this?

With this mentality, the pacification of the Cuan clan in the south can be called rapid.

The Cuan clan defended Tonglao, and the terrain was complex, so it was difficult to deploy large forces.

At Sima Yi's suggestion, Wu Yi led the army to fight with the Cuan clan for the high ground with archers, and slowly advanced as a whole to attract the attention of the Cuan clan.

On the other side, Zhang Yi took Meng Huo as his deputy general, bypassed Gu Chang and Lian Ran, and advanced directly to the city of Dianchi Lake at night.

Meng Huo, who grew up in Nanzhong, volunteered to pretend to be a member of the Cuan clan and tricked the Dianchi Lake gate into opening. Zhang Yi's elite troops followed up and seized the city at night.

The fall of Dianchi Lake instantly shocked the rear of the Cuan clan. Li Hui used his spies to accurately detect this news. Wu Yi did not hesitate. The army followed up and approached Tonglao, and organized the soldiers to shout:

"Wu Dan has been conquered!"

"Tongbing has been conquered!"

Both Wu Dan and Tongbing are located directly behind Tonglao, and not far from Dianchi Lake.

Wu Yi's actions made the Cuan clan defenders in Tonglao in an uproar, and they no longer wanted to fight.

Even from a distance, Wu Yi could see a figure on the wall of Tonglao jumping up and down and cursing.

But it could not change the fact that the Tonglao defenders were about to collapse.

"General, you are mighty!"

Sima Yi waved his flag and shouted, this was the last thing he could do for this battlefield now.

In fact, Sima Yi was right.

After judging that Tonglao was doomed, Wu Yi ignored Sima Yi, who was extremely envious, and handed over the command and dispatch of the battlefield to Li Hui.

Then he led his guards forward and fought bravely.

Wu Yi's joining became the last weight to crush the Tonglao Cuan family.

For the soldiers, they did not carefully consider whether they were facing a mob or an elite division.

They only knew that since Pingnanzhong, they had fought with General Wu and had won every battle!

One side was full of vigor, well-trained and firmly believed in victory.

The other side was panic-stricken, worried about the rear and neglected to train soldiers.

The pass that the Cuan family spent months building in this gorge was of no use. Wu Yi charged bravely and quickly reached the city wall, making the enemy's morale even weaker.

Wu Yi had bodyguards under his command who understood the barbarian dialect. Seeing the situation, he no longer hesitated and shouted at the top of his lungs:

"My colleagues are broken, and the general has escaped!"

It is extremely difficult to convey information on the battlefield. For Cuan's soldiers, the previous shouts from the other side that their rear areas were trapped were enough to make people panic.

Although the battlefield was chaotic at the moment, it was clear that the overall situation was at a disadvantage. Coupled with the opponent's shouts at this moment, all the Cuan soldiers lost their fighting spirit.

No one knew where the collapse occurred, but soon, Wu Yi, who was fighting hard, felt the pressure on his side drop suddenly.

Seeing the last native in front of him lose his weapon and kneeling on the ground, Wu Yi straightened up and saw that the narrow pass was full of his own infantry.

The natives recruited by the Cuan family fled and surrendered.

At this moment, it is indeed as the guards shouted, Tonglao has been defeated, and the enemy general has fled.

There was no decent city in the entire Nanzhong. At this time, Tonglao's pass was built by the Cuan family in just a few months by gathering manpower.

Now that this line of defense has been pierced, Wu Yi clearly knows that there will be no obstacles in recovering Nanzhong!

As a general, Wu Yi also clearly knew what he needed to do at this moment.

After cleaning the battlefield, Wu Yi's eyes hovered over Li Hui and Sima Yi, and he made a decision without hesitation:

"De'ang!" Wu Yi called Li Hui's cousin affectionately:

"Can you please lead the rear army to clear out the rebels and thieves? Then advance along the Wenshui River and stay stationed alone."

"Master Sima." Wu Yi then said:

"Please join me in chasing the rebels!"

There was no disappointment on Sima Yi’s face, he nodded and said:

"General, just call me by name... and follow the general's orders."

A smile appeared on Wu Yi's face. Intuitively speaking, the end of this war should not be far away.

The southern part of Yizhou is called Nanzhong, and the essence of Nanzhong is the place in front of you.

Relying on the huge sea-like southern Yunnan Ze, there are nearly twenty small towns of various sizes scattered around, and if villages and settlements are included, there are nearly a hundred places where people live.

As long as this place is pacified, Yizhou will no longer be in a state of fragmentation.

Under such circumstances, Yizhou can enter Guanzhong from the north, Jingyang from the east, and Jiaozhou from the south, so there is no need to be trapped in one place!

And his little sister... pressed this idea, and Wu Yi became very motivated.

In the following month, Wu Yi and Zhang Yi were like two arms, combing the entire southern Yunnan area in detail.

Some of the more important cities such as Dianchi, Wudan, Tongbian, Xifeng, and Shengxiu were also officially stationed with troops and officials. This place was also officially re-pacified and became part of Yizhou.

After sorting out these things, it was already early February, and Wu Yi continued to lead his troops southward without stopping.

The Jincheng Gorge Road connected Jiaozhou and Yizhou. Wu Yi ordered Li Hui to garrison the southern Yunnanze. He and Zhang Ni concentrated their strength and directly captured the Bengu County at the northern end of the Jincheng Gorge Road.

Then Sima Yi was ordered to garrison here. Wu Yi and Zhang Ni once again sent their troops eastward and successfully captured Dan (sounds like Xun) Feng County.

And intercepted the last remnants of the Cuan family who were trying to escape in the north of Wanwen City.

There was no suspense in this battle. The Cuan clan, who wanted to escape, was destroyed very quickly. They were killed and surrendered. Soon there were no enemy troops standing on the small battlefield.

The Wanwen people who witnessed all this chose to open the city gates and welcome Wu Yi and others into the city.

"After nearly eight months of fighting, Yizhou is finally at peace."

Climbing the small Wanwen tower, Wu Yi recounted his simple achievements.

Zhang Yi, who was on the side, already looked excited, and his excitement was hard to describe. Finally, he said in a low voice:

"It would be great if my lord was here."

Wu Yi said nothing, but the same meaning was expressed on his face.

But in the end, Wu Yi calmed down, looked at the Cuan clan thieves who were being counted by the soldiers below, and said with a smile:

"Some of the thieves are just like mantis trying to block the car. I'm afraid my lord has arrived in Hanzhong now."

"When we return, we may hear the news about the return of the Three Qins."

This imagination made Zhang Yi even more excited.

However, Wu Yi was a little unsure of what to do next.

From Bengu, enter the Jincheng Road and walk more than two hundred miles to reach Jiaozhi.

To the east of Wanwen is the Zangke Road, which is a complex road that can reach Hepu in Jiaozhou.

News of the pacification of Nanzhong would probably be brought to Jiaozhou by merchants through these two trade routes.

I wonder how Shixie from Jiaozhou will react?

Then Sima Yi, who has the same name as himself, should be able to handle this matter properly, right?

Involuntarily, the name popped into Wu Yi's mind.

But Wu Yi did not dare to do this.

Before the Lord returned to Chengdu, he told him in private that Sima Yi should not be entrusted with important tasks.

This is also the reason why he appointed Li Hui to guard Diannanze and took Sima Yi with him.

After all, the relationship between himself and his lord may become inextricably linked. Wu Yi didn't want to delay his little girl, so he focused on two words:

Take advice.

Although Wanwen has a large population, it is remote and prosperous due to trade. There are neither wealthy families nor wealthy businessmen, so it cannot make any trouble.

Therefore, after leaving some soldiers behind, Wu Yi officially returned home.

Comparatively speaking, Diannanze is the real sage land in southern Yizhou, and it requires a lot of effort to explore.

But what he never expected was that when he returned to Bingu County, Sima Yi sent a piece of news that surprised Wu Yi:

"Is there an envoy from Jiaozhou?"

Sima Yi nodded and confirmed:

"The leader is Shi Xie's son Shi Hui."

"There are two deputy envoys, one named Lu Meng and the other named Gan Yi."

After a pause, Sima Yi gave his own judgment:

"In my opinion, both of them are extraordinary people."

Wu Yi nodded, his face showing no emotion:

"Can they tell me what they are doing?"

Speaking of this, Sima Yi's face was full of interest:

"There is a change in Jingnan, and they want to borrow troops."

Wu Yi was speechless, and he never expected that this was the reason.

Sima Yi took a small step forward and whispered:

"General, I think..."

Before Sima Yi finished speaking, Wu Yi waved his hand.

Since the lord had specifically instructed him, Wu Yi didn't want the other party to influence his decision.

At this time, Wu Yi suddenly remembered his sister who was far away in Chengdu.

They were originally from Chenliu, and their uncle Wu Kuang was the deputy general of General He Jin.

He Jin died, and the court was in chaos. The Wu family was afraid of being implicated, so they simply boarded the ship of Liu Yan, who was familiar with him at that time, to enter Shu.

But what they didn't expect was that the chaos in the world would also be on Liu Yan.

Seeing Liu Yan beheading the Han envoy, cutting off Hanzhong, building the emperor's carriage and even intending to attack Chang'an to establish himself, Wu Yi felt that his father probably didn't expect this to happen.

What he didn't expect was that Liu Yan wanted to occupy Yizhou to disrupt the Han Dynasty, and now the lord took the old path of Emperor Gao to restore the Han Dynasty.

In this case, we can't be trapped, so Wu Yi waved his hand:

"Then meet the envoy from Jiaozhou."

While Wu Yi missed his sister, Wu's daughter, who was whispering with Madam Sun, seemed to have some feelings and stared at the south for a while.

This distraction was soon noticed by Adou, who immediately hugged Wu's daughter's calf and acted coquettishly.

Such behavior inevitably made Madam Sun feel a little jealous:

"Adou, there are still ten sets of Five Animals Play left."

At the same time, she did not forget to tap Adou's shoulder with a wooden sword to signal him to concentrate.

So Adou continued to do the unfinished Five Animals Play honestly.

After being brought to Chengdu by his father and living together for only a few months, his father left again, and even Master Zhuge went to Hanzhong with him.

He still remembered what Master Zhuge told him before he left. He must strengthen his body and study hard, so that he can help his father earlier and stay with his father!

Daughter Wu sighed. Her brother had not returned from the southern expedition, and Lord Xuande had now gone to Hanzhong.

The still vibrant scene in Chengdu had no meaning in her eyes. While standing aside and watching Adou practice the Five Animals Play hard, daughter Wu suddenly remembered.

Madam Sun also has a brother.

It's just that Madam Sun's brother, who doesn't care about anything, suddenly attacked Lord Xuande.

Madam Sun must be in a dilemma and feel wronged in the middle.

In comparison, my worries are nothing.

Madam Gan, who was sitting in a chair in the distance, watched Wu's daughter whisper something to Madam Sun, which made her giggle, and her worries disappeared a little, and she felt more relieved.

I wonder if my husband is doing well in Hanzhong?

At this time, Liu Bei felt very happy.

He strode into Shanggui and laughed from afar:

"I haven't seen you for a year, and Xianhe is still well. I am very relieved!"
