"We just want to withdraw our troops." Gao Shengtai Road.

"Sooner or later, the troops will be withdrawn, so let's draw a line, only use troops in this area, as long as this area is stable, and there are no more Jiaozhi displaced people, I will let General He withdraw his troops back." Wang Ju drew a line on the map, mainly in the southeastern part of Dali, and the area is not large. But after such a separation, the original Jiaozhi refugees will not be able to escape back to Jiaozhi.

It can also be said in theory.

But...... Gao Shengtai still wanted to speak, but Wang Ju said solemnly: "This is my bottom line, and I can't bargain anymore." ”

Gao Shengtai had no choice but to go back.

Huang Hua said: "Shaobao, will you startle the snake?" ”

"Maybe, but now for the Gao family, it is an arrow on the bow, and it has to be sent, and the temptation of the throne to Gao cannot be underestimated. In this way, send someone to inform Yang Yizhen and let him take the opportunity to send troops. ”

In fact, at this time, Wang Ju is basically ready for everything, only owes the east wind.

Although Yanda is still in a bitter battle, but the Manbu Department has taken down, only the Yixi Department and the Mahu Department on the west side are left, and the Mahu Department can use troops according to the situation, if there is enough time, you can use the Bingma Lake Department, if the time is too late, you can put it aside first, as long as you take the Yixi Department, you can connect with the Shujing Prison.

In addition, fields have also been allocated in some areas, especially on both sides of the main trade routes, and nearly half of the areas have been allocated fields, and there are no barbarian heads, as long as there are no barbarian heads, they can be governed. That is, from Dongchuan City to Rongzhou, most areas can be managed by officials. However, this also made Yanda feel lucky, if it wasn't for Wang Ju's strategy. Let Liu Kai fool the Ye Tho Army, and then attract most of the Wuman's troops to the edge of Ziqizhou to fight, but forcibly attack. If a tribe like this fights, it is a barbarian, and I don't know when it will be taken.

But it's not just a disadvantage, after all, through this series of battles, the armies gradually became familiar with the fortified battle.

The future is to win Dali, and the battle is still unavoidable.

This is the battle on the Northern Front.

The fighting on the Eastern Front was also gradually over, and Yao Lin learned the lessons of the beginning. First, he sent troops out of Puning City, gradually attracting various barbarian soldiers, and then feinted. Retreat south, all the way to the Moon River. The terrain here is relatively flat, and Yao Lin has laid a big pocket in the Moon River in advance, but this pocket is relatively large. One northwest, one southeast. Both were thirty or forty miles away from the main battlefield.

When the barbarian army chased to the Moon River, suddenly five thousand cavalry came out, and the pockets began to tighten. In one battle, nearly 20,000 barbarians were turned into prisoners of war.

However, Wang Ju asked Yao Lin to only run the area south of Puning City.

Further down, the terrain is too complicated, but the area south of Puning City has basically been allocated land, and most of the areas of Luodian have entered the long river of history. Of course, the government will also govern.

The significance of this battle is not trivial, and Temo Dao was sent by Wang Ju to surrender. The leaders of the various tribes also agreed to surrender to the Song Dynasty, and their behavior was relatively docile, and Wang Ju was unable to use troops. However, it is still a toast system, and there may be trouble in the future.

Therefore, relatively speaking, the safe passage is only from Qizhou, which is relatively thin, and when you get the Luodian area, this passage becomes wider. And with Puning City, it can also be used as a bridgehead for the future operation of Southwest Yi.

And after this battle, the surrounding barbarians shook together, so Yao Lin sent an envoy to force them to come to Puning and make an alliance with the Song Dynasty. Continue to give them autonomy, but they must submit to the Song dynasty.

In fact, it will not be long before Yao Lin's army can be withdrawn.

A few days later, Wang Ju received another letter from Kumamoto.

They all used fast horses to communicate with each other, but because they were far away and mostly mountainous, Wang Ju did not receive Kumamoto's reply until the end of the first month.

He didn't say anything, only that the army followed Wang Ju's instructions and stationed on the edge of Yazhou.

This is also for the sake of the overall situation, Wang Ju does not have the right to order Kumamoto how to act, if Kumamoto is not convinced, he wants to go it alone, Wang Ju is also helpless, and it is a big deal to join Kumamoto afterwards.

Several Song troops are eyeing Dali......

"Da Shizi, I am about to write to the imperial court and let you serve as the general manager of the soldiers and horses on the Dali Road." Wang Ju said to Duan Zhengming.

"Shaobao, no, I won't use soldiers."

"I want your title, not your real leader," Wang Ju laughed. Let you use soldiers, no number of soldiers is enough to spoil.

Duan Zhengming groaned.

In fact, he still has some rejection in his heart.

Wang Ju asked, "Great Shizi, are you greedy for power?" ”

Duan Zhengming shook his head.

"I said that I will tell you two allusions, Taizu wants a flower blue, Zhao Pu Xianggong did not approve it, Taizu has no choice. The first emperor wanted to establish Puyi, but the ministers refuted it one after another, but the first emperor never succeeded. Rights are good, but they must be tempered by each other. ”

"I'm not in love with power."

"I'm not talking about your love of power, but Dali, you read poetry and books, you should know that Dali belongs to the jurisdiction of China, Qin called Kunming, also called Dian State, the Western Han Dynasty Yizhou County, the county seat is in Shanyanfu City. In the Eastern Han Dynasty, Yongchang County was placed. During the Three Kingdoms, Meng wanted to rebel, but was quelled by Zhuge Liang and placed Yunnan County and Yongchang County. It was not until the Southern Chen Dynasty that the Pubu quietly emerged, but the central and northern regions of Dali were still controlled by the Central Plains Dynasty. Of course, you could say that it's just a bondage. But there is one thing that you can't deny, and that is that most of this land has belonged to China since ancient times, and at least to China's fetters and bounds. ”

Duan Zhengming was also thinking about Dali's previous history.

"Until the Montessori grew stronger with the support of the Tang Dynasty, and finally devoured the lord, and the Tang Dynasty declined after the Anshi Rebellion, and had no intention of looking south and establishing a country in the south. Your Dali was founded on the basis of Nanzhao. But when the Central Plains Dynasty was strong, how could it allow this to happen? No matter what you think in your heart, sooner or later I will use troops in Dali, and you Dali still have no intention of resisting. Compared to other people's use of soldiers, my methods are much more humane. ”

Duan Zhengming was silent.

During this time, he was under house arrest in Shicheng County, and it was not really house arrest, and he was allowed to move around some freely, but he was not allowed to talk to the local people, so as not to reveal his identity. But he could hear and see......

It should be said. Wang Ju's approach is indeed very humane, and what he does in Jiaozhi is simply a world of difference.

"And you're doing well. Not only for your brothers, but for the people of Dali. Because of your good behavior, Your Majesty can agree to my proposal, and in the future, you will at least be the number one official in Dali in name, and at the same time have certain supervision rights. Under your supervision, there are some bad officials who will not dare to act recklessly. But if you want power, I have nothing to say. ”

Huang Hua shouted: "Da Shizi." If it weren't for Shaobao, your brother would have died under the chaotic blade, would you have escaped from Dali City? ”

Duan Zhengming didn't know that the cave room that day was just a trick. Therefore, when I saw Huang Hua, I felt a little weak.

After he drank it, Duan Zhengming lowered his head and said, "Okay then." ”

Wang Ju said: "But I also have good news for you, although Yang Yizhen has executed many of your Duan clansmen. However, he did not do anything to the Dong family. Your betrothed little lady is still alive. ”

"Really?" Duan Zhengming asked excitedly, but his eyes dimmed, although his fiancée was alive, his parents were all killed by Yang Yizhen.

"Do you know the story of the queen of Shu Han?"

"Yes."

"He's not happy, but wise. He's called a real puppet. And you are not, you are the nominal highest governor of Dali Road in the future, but you are not only the nominal prefect, but also have the right to supervise. Just like the rulers of my court. Can you say they're puppets? In this way, you understand who you are. It doesn't matter if you have a knot. But you have to figure it out. I'm not afraid that you have a heart knot, but I'm afraid that your heart knot will be used by some people. After all, in the future, Dali's model will be Han barbarian co-governance, and some important figures in Dali will be given some rights. If any of these people have other thoughts and take advantage of you, your brother will not end well. Any idea how Chung Hui died? Wang Ju said again.

"I won't."

"When the time comes, it's not whether you will or not, but if you have a heart knot, others can use it, at least replace me, as long as you have a heart knot, I will have more than ten ways to use you." Wang Ju patiently enlightened.

He is not just talking about intimidation, but the truth.

And Dali also needs Duan Zhengming's appeal, at least in the next ten years, Duan Zhengming will have a certain positive effect on Dali's stability.

"Go down."

Duan Zhengming thought hard and retreated.

Qiong Niang said: "Poor was born in the emperor's family. ”

"How much power the emperor has, how much responsibility he has, and the Duan clan is where they are today, so it is not the result of their evil fruits. If they conscientiously govern Dali, do I dare to use soldiers in Dali? ”

"Although the truth is simple, but when it is their turn, few people can figure it out." Huang Hua sighed.

is not only Renjun, but also the top scholars like Wen Yanbo and Han Qi, who are as greedy.

In the end, the people at the bottom couldn't survive anymore, and they revolted one after another, even if there was no external pressure, the Song Dynasty would also perish, and everyone would finish it together.

But human nature is greedy, you can't think deeply, the more you think about it, the more complicated it becomes.

Qiong Niang asked: "Official, when will you use soldiers?" ”

"Look, let them keep fighting."

The Gao family and the Yang family continue to be at war.

Wang Ju drew a line, Gao Zhisheng didn't believe it, but he had no choice but to let the soldiers on this line go back. As a result, as soon as they entered this line, they were defeated one by one by the army led by He Bin. He Bin also used troops in this line as promised, and did not go out of the line.

But Gao Zhisheng has already become suspicious and wary of Wang Ju.

Yang Yizhen didn't know that in the west, after receiving the news sent by Wang Ju, he really thought that Wang Ju would help him, and decisively sent troops to attack Gao Zhisheng's army.

The forces in Gao Zhisheng's hands still have an advantage, but the morale of the soldiers from the southern departments fluctuates, so after a tragic battle, Gao Zhisheng's coalition army suffered a small setback and retreated to Nongdong Mansion. Yang Yizhen led the army to press, and the army approached the city of Dongfu.

Gao Zhisheng had to call the leaders to discuss, he asked everyone to sit down, and said: "We are not afraid of the traitors, but we are afraid of the Song army behind, they obviously want to take advantage of the fisherman." ”

After a few battles, both sides suffered heavy losses, and if they continued to fight, if they didn't get it right, Wang Ju would take the entire Dali without much effort.

One of the leaders said, "The Song army is very strong. ”

Gao Shengtai said: "Strong and weak are relative, although we are weak, but we occupy the right time and place. If the Song army was really strong, it would have used troops in Dali last year. ”

Everyone was a little silent, and most of them didn't want to collide with Wang Ju.

One of the leaders said, "But how can we be in a stalemate with the rebels now?" ”

"This is the intention of me to call you to discuss, to make peace with the traitors for the time being, and to promise them that we will divide everything in Dali into two, give them the Yang family in the northwest, and hand over the southeast to us to manage. Then temporarily joined forces with Yang Yizhen, a traitor, to deal with the Song army together. After the threat of the Song army is lifted, we will fight Yang Yizhen again. Gao Zhisheng said.

"The traitor may not agree."

"He's not a fool, I sent someone to analyze the stakes before and after, and he will know the severity." Of course, Gao Zhisheng is very unwilling to achieve this result, and Yang Yizhen may not be reconciled, but the current situation is obviously that both sides are not absolutely sure of winning each other, and dividing Dali into two is the best solution.

Gao Zhisheng came up with this idea, which was beyond Wang Ju's expectations. (To be continued......)
