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

The front lines in Nanzhong are also deepening in an orderly manner.

As the war progressed steadily, Sima Yi gradually became amazed that Shu County indeed had talented people.

Just like Wu Yi, he was strict in managing the army, prudent in the use of troops, and he could lead the troops in battle.

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

Another example is Zhang Yi. He is just a hero. He leads the troops without fear of death. He is the first to charge and sets an example for his soldiers.

In Sima Yi's opinion, he was also a general who simply lacked experience.

Zhang Ni's performance also successfully dispelled Sima Yi's doubts, but he still didn't understand how Liu Bei recognized talents and promoted this person against all opinions.

After all, no matter how you look at it, meritorious service cannot be associated with leading an army in battle. In the former Han Dynasty, there were founding heroes who were born as meritorious officials.

But Xiao Xiangguo was one of the Three Great Masters of the Early Han Dynasty, and he was also posthumously awarded the title of Wenzhong. How can it be compared?

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

Sima Yi also saw this.

Moreover, even the relatively inconspicuous Li Hui was able to check and fill in the gaps in Sima Yi's plan to attack the Cuan family.

In particular, Li Hui was quite familiar with some of the big names in Nanzhong, which Sima Yi was quite envious of, so his previous arrogant attitude was gradually put away, and he instead wanted to make friends with these generals.

What gave Sima Yi a headache was that he wanted to give up on every detail, but these guys didn't buy it.

Wu Yi, the guard general, was always unsmiling when dealing with others, and had a demeanor of staying away from strangers.

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

But when it came to matters other than military affairs, the general's reaction was flat.

Most of the time, Sima Yi was talking, while 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 had complete control over.

When he was still in the north, Sima Yi smiled like this when he first faced the envoy sent by Cao Cao to invite him to serve as an official.

So with Wu Yi, Sima Yi could only choose to give up.

Things didn't go well for Zhang Yi and Li Hui either.

Zhang Ni was a frugal man. Sima Yi visited him twice in private. Once, he saw the pioneer mending his leather armor with his own hands. The second time, he happened to meet Zhang Ni teaching the Nanzhong barbarians how to use the curved plow in the fields. .

These are not things that Sima Yi knows or is good at. As for the delicacies, fine wines, BMWs, etc. that Sima Zhongda is familiar with, Zhang Yi's disinterest is written on his face.

So I had to give up.

Fortunately, the visit to Li Hui went smoothly, but that was all.

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

He treats people like a spring breeze and is approachable in conversation, but in fact he is very measured in private and does not have deep friendships.

I visited several times, and each time we talked happily, but in the end there was no actual progress in the relationship.

After going around like this, there was no result in the end, and Sima Yi gradually gave up on this idea. He only felt that the talent under Uncle Liu's command was no less than that of Cao Cheng...Cao Thief.

Rather than wasting effort here, it would be better to make achievements early and gain the favor of the emperor's uncle...the lord, and return to the northern battlefield.

At that time, does he, the son of the Sima family, still need to bear this anger?

In this mentality, the pacification of the Nanzhong Cuan clan can be said to be rapid.

Cuan's troops were forced to defend Tonglao. The terrain was complex and it was difficult for large groups of troops to spread out.

At Sima Yi's suggestion, Wu Yi led the army to fight for the high ground with the Cuan clan, and controlled it with crossbowmen. The whole group slowly advanced to attract the Cuan clan's attention.

On the other side, Zhang Yi took Meng Huo as his deputy, bypassed Guchang and Lianran, and advanced directly to the Dian Lake city at night.

Meng Huo, who grew up in Nanzhong, took the initiative to ask for help and pretended to be a member of the Cuan clan to trick him into opening the gate of Dianchi Lake. Zhang Yi's elite troops followed up and captured the city at night.

The fall of Dianchi Lake instantly shocked the Cuan family's rear. Li Hui accurately detected the news with the help of his own eyesight. Wu Yi did not hesitate, and the army followed up and attacked Tonglao, and organized his soldiers to shout:

Don't be alone!

Together we can defeat each other!

Wudan and Tongbin are both located directly behind Tonglao and not too far from Dianchi Lake.

Wu Yi's actions caused an uproar among the Cuan clan defenders who were co-workers, and they no longer wanted to fight.

Even from far away, Wu Yi could see a figure jumping around and cursing on Tonglao's wall.

But this does not change the fact that Tong Lao's defenders were on the verge of collapse.

General Kamui!

Sima Yi was waving flags and shouting. This was the last thing he could do on this battlefield.

In fact, Sima Yi was right.

After judging that the situation with his colleagues was over, Wu Yi ignored the extremely greedy Sima Yi and handed over the command and control of the battlefield to Li Hui.

Then he led his bodyguards forward and fought bravely.

Wu Yi's joining became the last weight that crushed Tonglao Cuan's family.

For soldiers, they do not carefully care whether they are facing a ragtag group or an elite division.

They only know that since the Ping of Nanzhong, they have fought with General Wu and won without losing!

One side has great momentum and is well-trained and confident that it will win.

The people on one side are panic-stricken, worried about the rear and neglecting to train their troops.

The pass that Cuan spent several months choosing to build in this gorge had no effect. Wu Yi charged bravely and quickly reached the city wall, making the enemy's momentum 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 knew clearly 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 warm water and station yourself 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 hundreds of places where people can 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 anymore!

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 were 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 be able to 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?

Unable to help himself, Wu Yi thought of this name.

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 cause any trouble.

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

Comparatively speaking, Diannanze is the real fertile 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 also two deputy envoys, one named Lu Meng and the other named Gan Yi.

After pondering for a moment, Sima Yi gave his own judgment:

In my opinion, both of them are very human.

Wu Yi nodded, his face showing no emotion or anger:

Can anyone tell me what the purpose of this trip is?

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

There are changes in Jingnan, and I want to borrow troops.

Wu Yi was dumbfounded, never expecting this to be the reason.

Sima Yi took a small step forward and whispered:

General, I thought...

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

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

At this moment, 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 chaos arose in the court. The Wu family was afraid of being implicated, so they simply boarded the boat of Liu Yan, whom they knew well at that time, and went to Shu.

But what I didn't expect was that the chaos in the world would also be caused by Liu Yan.

Seeing Liu Yan kill the Han envoys, destroy Hanzhong, build the emperor's chariot, and even intend to attack Chang'an to establish himself, Wu Yi felt that his father probably did not expect such a thing.

What is even more unexpected is that Liu Yan wanted to conquer Yizhou and rebelled against the Han Dynasty, and now there is another protagonist who is following the old path of Emperor Gao to restore the Han Dynasty.

In this case, one cannot be a trapped person, so Wu Yi waved his hand:

Then let's meet the envoy from Jiaozhou.

While Wu Yi was missing his sister, Wu's daughter, who was talking quietly to Mrs. Sun, seemed to have something in her heart and looked south for a while.

This distraction was quickly noticed by Adou, who immediately started to act coquettishly while hugging Wu's daughter's calf.

Such behavior can’t help but make Mrs. Sun a little bit disgusted:

Adou, there are still ten groups of Wu Qin Xi left.

At the same time, he did not forget to tap Adou's shoulder with his wooden sword to signal his concentration.

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

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

He still kept in mind what Master Zhuge told him before he left. He should stay strong and study hard, so that he could help his father early and be by his side!

Wu's daughter sighed, her brother had not returned from the southern expedition, and Xuande Gong had now gone to Hanzhong.

The still vibrant scene in Chengdu was meaningless in her eyes. While standing aside and watching Adou practice Wu Qin Xi hard, Wu's daughter suddenly remembered it.

Mrs. Sun also has an older brother.

It's just that Mrs. Sun's elder brother, regardless of asking or telling, now suddenly attacks Mr. Xuande.

Mrs. Sun must be in a dilemma and feel aggrieved when caught in this situation.

In comparison, these melancholy thoughts of mine are nothing.

Mrs. Gan was sitting on a chair in the distance, watching Mrs. Wu whispering something to Mrs. Sun, which made her giggle, causing her brows to dissipate a little, and her heart to feel more relieved.

I wonder if your husband is okay in Hanzhong?

At this time, Liu Bei felt very happy.

Stepping into Shanggui, he laughed from afar:

I am so relieved that Xianhe is still safe after one year of absence!
