Zhuge Liang is a workaholic, and after the banquet, he went straight to work.

"Liang has a reluctant request, I ask the generals to lead the army to protect me, Liang wants to go to the counties at the southern end to inspect the people's situation."

Zhuge Liang's tone was very sincere, and after everyone pushed the cup and changed the cup, it could be regarded as familiar with each other, and naturally there was no reason to refuse.

"It's better for me and my third brother to lead an army to protect Zhuge Taishou."

Although Guan Yu is arrogant, he is still very talkative, and Zhuge Liang is also considered to have an appetite for him.

In addition to the personal affection of Xu Shu, a military master, there is also Guan Yu's recognition because of Zhuge Liang's behavior and behavior.

"No opinion."

Zhang Fei did not have any rebuttal to Guan Yu's words.

Zhuge Liang thanked the two and said, "Thank you Yunchang, Yide Gaoyi." In that case, let's go now, shall we? "

"It's better to be respectful than to obey!" Guan Yu surrendered.

Fa Zheng, Li Yan and other generals of the Yizhou Army were sent out of the garrison.

Zhuge Liang, under the protection of Guan Yu Zhang Fei, led an army of more than 100 people and set out directly towards the county at the southern tip of Yizhou.

Just to investigate the situation of the people, naturally there is no need for a large army to be dispatched.

In addition to avoiding the waste of food and grass, it is also to avoid the vigilance and worry of those barbarian tribes at the southern end of Yizhou, and some misunderstandings will occur.

Don't look at Meng Yu leading the southern barbarian rebels to rebel, but there are many barbarian tribes in the southern end, and more people still choose to rise at sunrise and rest in the sun.

Therefore, Zhuge Liang specially instructed Guan Yu Zhang Fei to let the soldiers change their armor and dress up as caravans to avoid meaningless battles.

They are located in Yuewei County, Yizhou, and Yizhou County and Yongchang County at the southern end, and in the later Yunnan, Shundian and other places.

The road is rough, high valleys and deep valleys, and even many cliffs, which is very inconvenient to walk.

Even these soldiers who have received the 'ability bonus' feel that it is inconvenient to walk, let alone those people at the extreme southern tip of Yizhou?

Although they are a southern barbarian tribe, they are also the people of the Great Han.

Zhuge Liang secretly remembered that in the future, it must be developed and constructed, at least to build a cement road, or dig a canal to pass.

If you want to be rich, build roads first!

After walking for seven days, they came across a village.

Seeing them dressed up in caravans and some special products being sold, these villages welcomed them warmly.

Zhuge Liang talked with the village owner and learned a lot of information about the southern tip of Yizhou. In this village, there were disciples and soldiers who joined Meng Yu's rebel army.

They did not really rebel against the big man, but because of the powerful and powerful of the family, coupled with the poor life and inability to survive, they raised troops and rebelled in desperation.

It is said that the people at the southern end of Yizhou are fierce and have not obeyed the king's law since ancient times. This is mainly the southern end is mostly tropical rainforest, as well as the primeval forest in the poor mountains.

Poisonous insect miasma is widespread, less cultivated land, and not as perfect as developed in later generations. A whole strip of primitive tribes.

Survival is not easy, and the people either become thieves, or they can only leave their homes, or choose to rebel against the exploitation of those families.

"Yizhou was surrounded by lofty mountains such as Shu Dao, and after Liu Zhang surrendered, His Majesty did not lead his army to sweep through, and more family clans survived..."

Zhuge Liang sighed in his heart, the family family in this era is the embodiment of exploitation, oppression, land annexation and other evils.

The thirteen prefectures of the Great Han Dynasty, except for Yizhou, were all affected by the scourge of war, and the families and people, like the people, were displaced in the war and suffered heavy casualties.

On the contrary, Yizhou, although it was first swept by Cao Cao, and then attacked by the Liangzhou army and Changshan army, but it was all in Hanzhong County and other places. That is, the northern county of Yizhou.

As for the counties at the southern end of Yizhou, because of Liu Zhang's surrender, the impact of the war was avoided.

Although this did not allow the people to endure the hardships of war, it also allowed more families to survive unharmed.

These great families are the emperors of Yizhou, and they naturally do not obey discipline, and even want to blackmail the Han with self-respect.

Meng Yu and other southern barbarian rebels are just pawns that have been plucked!

After chatting with the village owner and other cottage people, Zhuge Liang suddenly understood why the Yizhou war had been stalemated for a long time.

It's not that the Yizhou army is too weak, but the Yizhou army is all local soldiers, and they are widely involved with these family families.

Zhuge Liang said that it is not an exaggeration, it is estimated that many generals and advisers in the Yizhou army are related to these powerful families, and even some relatives.

"I said it's no wonder why the war has been stalemated for a long time, it seems that the Yizhou army really didn't go all out!" Zhang Fei cursed.

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei had been following Zhuge Liang to protect, and naturally they also heard his unobtrusive snooping, and also learned the answers of these village people.

Although their Jingzhou army rushed to the aid of Yizhou, it was still the Yizhou army that was in the dominant position, and Zhang Fei thought that someone must have collaborated with the enemy!

"Third brother! Don't talk nonsense! "

Guan Yu frowned and said: "We have been in Yizhou for three or four months, and we are familiar with the people of the generals and advisers of the Yizhou Army, they are not that kind of people!" "

Zhuge Liang bowed his head and said: "Now it's just a village, we can't believe what it says, we still need to inquire from many parties and compare with each other!" "

"That's exactly the case, who knows if there is fraud in it!" Guan Yu bowed.

The group stayed in the village for three days, bartered each other for a lot of things, and then set off again.

The further south you go, the more rugged the mountain road becomes, and the less developed and built it is. There are naturally cities here, but not as prosperous as on the north side.

As for the comparison with other prefectures and counties of Dahan, it is even more shabby, like a primitive tribe.

However, in some large cities in Yongchang County and Yizhou County, they also saw a lot of prosperous scenes, but most of them were controlled by the family family.

Now that the war is affected, even taxes are collected by these families!

Guan Yu Zhang Fei gritted his teeth at this, they are now loyal ministers of the Han family, and they will naturally think about the great Han.

In their opinion, these family clans are blood-sucking insects lying on the body of the big man.

"Yongmin, Zhu Zhao, Gao Ding... These Yizhou County and Yongchang County clans have been pandering Meng Yu and joining forces with the Southern Barbarian rebels.

It seems that if you want to solve the rebellion, you still need to solve these family clans first! "

During this period of overt and covert visits, Zhuge Liang can be regarded as having figured out the shortcomings of Yizhou.

Guan Yu said a little faintly: "In these cities, I see many objects that do not belong to our great han, and they must come from the Shan Kingdom!" "

"That secret Silk Road?!" Zhang Fei's eyes lit up.

Their Jingzhou army rushed to the aid of Yizhou, in addition to helping Yizhou solve the Nanban rebels, they also searched for this secret Silk Road.

At the Yizhou Army generals and advisers, they inquired for a long time, but there was no news.

Who knew that when they came to Yongchang County and Yizhou County farther south, they found many clues.

"The Secret Silk Road between Yizhou and the Shan Kingdom?"

Zhuge Liang quickly deduced a lot of information from the conversation between Guan Zhang and the two:

"These families from Yongchang County and Yizhou County bought goods from outside the Han Dynasty, and then sold them to the Shan Kingdom through here.

Many rare treasures from the Shan Kingdom are also sold to the outside world of Dahan through here.

It seems that this is the role of this secret Silk Road. "

Zhuge Liang said and sneered a little:

"No wonder they need to put an end to the barbarian rebellion.

If the Great Han Army completely took over the county at the southern tip of Yizhou, after taking control of this place, they would not be able to act as this middleman! "
