Chapter 942 The End of the Southern Expedition
After Huang Zhong captured Meng Huo alive, the battle was over.

The Mu army mobilized Modao Camp, Feiniao Camp, Heijia Cavalry Battalion, Jingping First Army, four soldiers and horses, coordinated inside and outside, and blossomed in the center, captured the barbarian king Meng Huo, beheaded eight thousand barbarian troops, and captured There are more than six thousand.

This battle also established the victory of the Battle of Chaiyu.

Even if the main force of the barbarian army still has the power to fight, they have no hope of overturning the outcome of the war. In this battle, the barbarian army was blown up by the center and beheaded directly. The entire Jiabing army was wiped out, and even the barbarian king Meng Huo was captured alive by the Mu army.

There have been countless battles between the barbarians and the Han people throughout the history, and many barbarian kings died in battle, but the barbarian king who could be captured alive was the first in the world.

However, as a barbarian king and recognized by the 36 caves of the barbarians, Meng Huo is still very important. At least all the cave masters will have the idea of ​​throwing a mouse at the Mujun because of his capture.

Therefore, even if the barbarians wanted to continue fighting, they would have no chance.

And on the third day after Meng Huo was captured alive, the Mu army had all retreated to Chaiyu County, and the Jiuliao army who was fighting in Chaishan suddenly retreated, first from the Chaishan battlefield, and then disappeared in Chaiyu.

The Feiniaoying scouts hung them up and found that they had already left Chaiyu and were heading south. According to this road, they should have torn off the alliance with the barbarians and left the barbarians aside. Taking advantage of their strength, they Go back to the tribe.

In this way, the barbarian army only has its own strength, but only [-] left.

Facing the powerful and thriving Mu Jun, their minds were even more disturbed.

If they had the assistance of the Jiuliao army, they would still have a chance to fight the Mu army, and even took a dangerous path to retake the barbarian king Menghuo. The strength to compete with the Mu army on the battlefield.

The most important thing is that the barbarian king Meng Huo was captured, and the barbarian army commander Meng You was also captured. The entire barbarian army was leaderless, and the few cave masters simply did not have enough majesty to gather the barbarian army and continue to fight against the herd army.

This situation continued until the fourth day.

Mrs. Zhu Rong is here.

Mrs. Zhu Rong led the new force of [-] barbarians into the battlefield, which boosted the morale of the barbarian army. After all, as Meng Huo's wife, Mrs. Zhu Rong was also one of the best experts.

But that's all. Even if Mrs. Zhu Rong continues to increase her troops at this moment, even if she increases her troops by tens of thousands, she will not be able to shake the Mu army at this moment.

The power that the Mu army had shown destroyed the fighting spirit of the barbarian army and established the victory of this battle. They also captured the barbarian king Meng Huo, unless Mrs. Zhu Rong completely ignored Meng Huo's life and death.

Mrs. Zhu Rong actually came to negotiate.

She was originally in Buwei City, waiting for the result of the war. She believed that the barbarian warriors would agree to this war, but she did not expect such a tragic defeat, even Meng Huo was captured alive.

She hurried north with her elite soldiers and horses, hoping to rescue Meng Huo from the barbarian army.

Two days later, without any harassment from the Mu army, Zhu Rong had successfully integrated the remaining soldiers of the barbarian army. With nearly [-] troops, he had recovered a certain amount of combat power and was blocked by the Chancellor of Chaiyu County. Southwest suburbs.

At this time, Mrs. Zhu Rong sent the intention of negotiation, hoping that everyone can sit down and talk.

Xi Zhicai and Huang Zhong refused.

It was very simple for Xi Zhicai to tell Mrs. Zhu Rong that if you want to talk, you can, but you have to go to Dianchi Lake instead of talking here.

His response made the situation on the battlefield a little tense.

The barbarian army began to approach, and the main force of the [-] barbarian army, although not a very strong force, was very oppressive to the Mu army. The Jingping first army led by Huang Zhong, not to mention the Wuxi barbarian army, they even After a big battle, they were exhausted, and there was not much combat power left.

The three battalions under Xi Zhicai's command also fought fiercely in the previous battle, killing one thousand enemies and self-defeating eight hundred, annihilating the main force of the barbarian army, there is always a price to pay.

As for the remnant soldiers in Yizhou, it was even more miserable. Niutu Mountain was listed as a stronghold by the barbarians, and they stormed seven times. Of the [-] available soldiers, there were only [-] soldiers left. Almost everyone was injured, so they survived with difficulty.

The most important thing is that once the war continues, it is a little far away from Yizhou after all, but closer to the barbarian tribes. The barbarians can integrate young and strong and mobilize their final combat power.

The last war power of a race erupts, that is, all the people are soldiers.

Races like barbarians are even more terrifying.

Therefore, the situation on the battlefield is somewhat imminent.

But Xi Zhicai never let go, emphasizing that he must take Meng Huo back to Dianchi Lake. If the barbarians want to negotiate, they must go to Dianchi Lake to negotiate.

Mrs. Zhu Rong also knew that if she went to Dianchi Lake, she would not be able to come back.

So she was also very stalemate, and she would never let Mu Jun leave.

The stalemate lasted for three days. At this time, a group of troops from the north suddenly went south, broke through the city and tribe of the Baiman people, and then entered Yongchang County. It did not take overnight to appear in the northeast corner of Chaiyu.

This is Mujun Jingping's third army.

The new army, which was established when Mu Jing replaced Liu Yan and became the new lord of Yizhou, has been in charge of the Yueyi battlefield and fought against the soldiers of the Yi people.

The Yi people are also a part of the barbarians.

Nanban is a large-scale ethnic group, spread all over the three counties of Yongchang, Yuexi, and Yizhou, and there are even several tribes in Zangcai.

The Yi tribe is definitely one of the most powerful tribes among the barbarians.

Even Meng Huo failed to conquer the Yi people back then.

It was just that the Yi people verbally proclaimed him the king and recognized him as a barbarian king. The Yi people didn't have any intention of uniting with him. It wasn't until the Mu army went south that the Yi people and Meng Huo became closely connected.

Meng You persuaded Gao Min to let Gao Min set up the banner of resisting the herdsmen in Yueyi, and guide all the ministries in Yueyi to resist the herdsmen together, doing well.

But Gao Min's sudden and sudden death broke the good situation.

Meng Huo originally wanted to take action to integrate the various barbarian tribes in Yueyi, but Weixian was defeated in the first battle, and he was too busy to take care of himself, so he didn't intervene in the battle of Yueyi, but no one thought that Yueyi's defeat was so tragic.

Not only the Yi people surrendered, but even the white barbarians who resisted at the end also fell into the end of a broken tribe's lair.

The shepherd army that appeared on the Chaiyu battlefield told all the cave masters of the barbarians that they had no hope of turning around in this battle, not at all. Once a war started, it would only be a war of extermination.

Mrs. Zhu Rong was not reconciled, but she was just not reconciled. She couldn't do anything, and she couldn't let the warriors of the barbarians die.

So she could only watch helplessly as the Mu army retreated.

Although the Mu army was withdrawing, it was more like a glorious squadron returning to the court, suppressing a barbarian army, swaggering past, leaving Chaiyu, heading east, first entering the evil dragon, and then approaching Shuangbai.

There are barbarian troops stationed in Shuangbai County.

At this time, any deterrent effects had been lost, and within a day, the barbarians in Shuangbai City voluntarily withdrew, opened the way, and let the herding army pass.

..........................................

Chuping six years, December.

At this time, the weather is already cold. Even here in Dianchi Lake, where the seasons are as picturesque as spring, I still feel the slightest chill.

During this period of time, Mu Jing has been dealing with government affairs.

It is easy to conquer the country, but it is difficult to defend the country. To build a territory, one only needs to work hard, but to govern a place, it needs to die countless brain cells. In order to establish the administrative system of Nanzhong, once and for all, this time he has put in a lot of hard work of.

The prefects of Cang County and Yunnan County have already taken office.

But he didn't dare to despise Yue Yu and Yongchang.

The barbarian tribes in these places are very powerful, and if they are a little careless, they will cause conflicts between Han and barbarians. The barbarians are hot-tempered, and it is easy for ordinary conflicts to directly evolve into a fight between two forces. turned into war.

Therefore, those who govern these two counties must be cautious and cautious.

Mujing thought for a long time, but there were not many candidates, so he scratched his head.

"My lord, the two counties are still at war, and this matter can be considered slowly!" Liu Jin said reassuringly.

"ended!"

Mu Jing shook his head. The latest news surprised him a bit: "Huang Zhong and Xi Zhicai captured the barbarian king Menghuo, and they are being escorted back. They will return to Dianchi Lake soon. The barbarian army is not enough to worry about. Yi, Zhang Liao and Gao Ding took down the Yi people, and the servant of Chen Gong was also ruthless, and he killed Yue Yi with blood flowing into rivers. No less than three of the barbarian tribes in Yue Yi were destroyed. There are four or five, including the white barbarians who are the most wealthy of the barbarians!"

"This battle has reached this point, there is no need to fight the rest!"

"Just talk!"

"So Nanzhong Dudu Mansion must come up with a plan as soon as possible. It can't fail to keep up with the pace of the army. Now that they have taken down the place, if Nanshufang can't be cured, I'm afraid it's not me who will be ashamed, but Nanshufang!"

Mu Jing said quietly.

"Easy to say, hard to do!" Liu Jin also scratched his head. The key is that Mu Jun's background is too shallow, and the relationship with the gentry has not been very good, and the accumulation of talents is insufficient.

"You should come up with a plan for this matter as soon as possible!"

Mu Jing said: "It's really not possible, order generals, if you can go up, you have to go up, if you can't go up, you have to go up, the stability and peace of the two counties are more important, the ability is given priority, even if you are old in Yizhou, you are not afraid to use it, I am confident that you can Hold them down!"

"I'll think it over!"

Liu Jin said.

On December [-]th, Xi Zhicai took the first step and led the Heijia Battalion to escort Meng Huo back to Dianchi City.

This is the second time Mujing has seen Meng Huo.

At this time, Meng Huo no longer had the aura of the Wei County battlefield. At that time, even if he fell into a desperate situation, Meng Huo was still Meng Huo, the king of a generation of barbarians, swallowing mountains and rivers, and being as brave as a tiger.

But now, whether it was because Huang Zhong broke his spirit, or if Mu Jun lost his confidence, he became a little depressed.

"Barbarian, we meet again!"

Mu Jing met Meng Huo in a palace, without Huang Zhong personally escorting him, he took the initiative to keep a little distance, the guards lined up, and there were strong crossbows arranged around him, so he dared to meet Meng Huo, after all, such a powerful person , Don't accept that it's okay to be injured, even if your skill is useless, within ten steps, you can easily kill Mujing.

Mujing didn't dare to act bravely.

Meng Huo just raised his head lightly, glanced at Mujing, and remained silent, maybe he didn't want to say it, maybe he couldn't say it, or maybe he already wanted to die, so he kept silent.

"The barbarians can't afford to lose!" Mu Jing exclaimed.

Meng Huo clenched his fists tightly.

"You and I made an oath in Wei County. Now that you have lost again and fell into my hands for the second time, do you intend to keep the oath, or do you want to renege on your debt!" The light was vivid, but with a pressure of Taishan version, it pressed on Meng Huo.

Meng Huo gritted his teeth, he didn't know what to say.

admit defeat?

He can afford to lose, but can the barbarians lose?
Can you admit defeat?

Does he still have the qualifications not to admit defeat?

"Give me a refreshment!" Mu Jing shrugged, and said indifferently: "Are you admitting your account, or are you going to let my Mu army continue to fight with 36 lions? I don't mind spending another year and a half. The hole is uprooted, even if you are hiding in an old cave deep in the mountains, if I want to dig it, I will definitely be able to dig it out, and the barbarians will be the disaster of extermination, I can tell and do it!"

"Although my barbarians lost, the hundred thousand mountains are as solid as a rock. If you want to destroy my barbarians, you can't do it!"

Meng Huo spoke.

"Hehehe!"

Mu Jing smiled: "In a strong position, there will be a day when it will be lost. Although the Hundred Thousand Mountains is indeed a place where snakes, insects, rats, ants, wild animals and tigers haunt, but if I want to fight, no one can stop me. My herding army prepared for this battle many years ago, not to mention the strength of my Zhanhu battalion, I have the Wuxi barbarian army, you don't think the Wuxi barbarian army is not proficient in jungle warfare, do you?"

Meng Huo's heart skipped a beat.

The Wuxi barbarian army, outside, they are indeed not afraid, but once they enter the Hundred Thousand Mountains, it will be a deadly army to the nests of the barbarians. If the barbarians know it, they will basically do it.

They used to come from the same line, lived in the same environment, and cultivated their same strength.

"Are you really going to destroy my barbarians?" Meng Huo didn't want to bow his head, but he had to. If he lost, he had already lost the room to bargain. As the king of the barbarians, he must not watch the barbarians die in his own hands.

"In no mood!"

Mu Jing shook his head: "What I want, I told you a long time ago, two words, surrender!"

"If we surrender, how will you treat us?" Meng Huo asked.

"Equal treatment!"

"Han people and barbarians, no one can treat people equally. In your eyes, Han people are always noble. We are just barbarians and humble. No matter how much we do, we can't change your position in your heart!"

Meng Huo said coldly.

"A person's origin is different, race doesn't matter, I'm a Han, you're a barbarian, it's God's will!" Mu Jing said: "But I'm willing to change, the world is one family, live in peace, isn't it good!"

He has such an idea, which is out of place in this era.

The education of later generations told him that 56 ethnic groups belong to one family, but now, foreign races are just a word, and those who are not my race must have different hearts. Yue, in the eyes of the Han people, are all aliens and low-level ethnic groups, untrustworthy, unreliable, and unusable. They have been enemies from generation to generation, and as long as they can be killed, they will never leave a single one.

"It sounds so good!"

Meng Huo said with a sneer, "But that time, you didn't intend to lure us out and then slaughter us!"

"Trust belongs to both parties!" Mu Jing smiled faintly: "You can't believe any guarantee I give you now, but if you don't step forward at this step, even if you win this battle, the barbarians will always be able to do so. You are the barbarians in the Hundred Thousand Mountains, you will never be able to get out of Nanzhong!"

Meng Huo was a little silent.

"I want to meet two people!"

After a while, Meng Huo said suddenly.

"Who!"

"Meng You and my wife!"

"I can arrange it!" Mu Jing thought for a while, and said, "Meng You, I heard that it is your brother, who is also a great military adviser of the barbarian army, who used us to fight against the remnants of Yizhou, and the snipe and clam competed for the fisherman's benefit. A good plan!"

"No matter how good it is, it can't be counted as you Han people. You use your tricks to lure us to take the initiative to attack, and then surprise our Chinese army. This idea itself is risky, but it makes you succeed. You Han people are really amazing!"

Meng Huo sighed.

"Meng You was also captured. He arrived at Dianchi Lake. I will arrange for you to meet!"

"As for Mrs. Zhu Rong, I can send you news, but I don't guarantee whether she dares to come to Dianchi Lake!" Mu Jing said: "You fell into my hands, and Meng You was also captured. Many Cave Masters have died, and now she is the only one who can support the important affairs of the clan, and she may not dare to risk herself!"

"He will come, and you won't hurt her!" Meng Huo said.

"why?"

Mu Jing was a little puzzled, he really thought so, but he didn't expect Meng Huo to be able to guess his mind so accurately.

"Because you don't want to see a barbarian that is divided into pieces, at least at this time, you won't allow the barbarian to become a tribe!" Meng Huo said: "Except for me, Meng Huo, who can control the barbarian People, there are only two left, one is my wife and the other is the great wizard, kill my wife, you will face the great wizard, you will not want to face him!"

"The Great Wizard?"

Mu Jing didn't deny Meng Huo's statement. He really didn't want to see a scattered barbarian tribe, because it would cause great trouble for them to govern the area. A unified barbarian tribe is still somewhat orderly, and a scattered barbarian tribe is just a group of thieves.

But he is a little interested in this great wizard.

................................................

In the sixth year of Chuping, on December 24, Meng Huo returned to Shunminghou's mansion as a barbarian king.

The Mu army mobilized a main force of [-], no less than [-] civilians, and carried out this southern expedition campaign, which lasted for almost a year, and finally ended the battle under the surrender of the barbarians.

The four counties in Nanzhong were all wiped out.

The last trouble in Yizhou has been resolved, and the rest is to manage the state of boiled frogs in warm water. As long as it is managed properly, Nanzhong will be stable, and the Minghou Mansion in Yizhou will be as stable as Mount Tai.
