"Report!" A spy came over and sent news to Wang Ju.

It was not the news that Yang Yizhen took action, nor the news that the Gao family had launched an army, but the battle report sent by Yao Lin. Wang Ju took a look and frowned a little.

"Did General Yao fail?" Huang Hua asked.

"It's not considered a failure, Brother Chun, look." Wang Ju handed the battle report to Huang Hua.

"I still underestimate the enemy." Huang Hua said after looking.

But it is not considered that Yao Lin underestimated the enemy, including Wang Ju, underestimated the enemy this time.

In fact, Wang Ju was very cautious in the previous battles. For example, Ziqi first used the name of road construction, and then deliberately attracted the main forces of each unit to the meadow, and wiped them out in one fell swoop. Then he forced the barbarian chiefs to hand over the children in the village, moved out the Guangnan West Road method, and launched the second wave of attacking local tyrants and dividing the land. In this way, Ziqizhou was successfully obtained.

The Wuman was still like this, almost attracting the main forces of Wuman to the border from Qizhou, and once again attracted the Wuman forces to the relatively flat Wenshui River, and forced the surrender. Some tribes all had all been captured alive, so they successfully transitioned to the governance stage.

Even after Wumeng was sent to find out the detailed information, Yanda's army went north.

But only Luo Dianman took action in a hurry.

At first, Yao Lin went smoothly. The army went deeper and continued to fight the local tyrants and divide the land. However, when he went deeper into Puning Mansion, that is, when the Han Dynasty Yelang Kingdom, he was attacked by Luo Dianman. The two sides suffered heavy losses in this battle. Although Luo Dianman defeated Luo Dianman, Yao Lin's subordinates also lost nearly 3,000 people. It can be said that the army suffered the most heavy losses to the west.

There will inevitably be losses, but this is not Wang Ju Benyi. At least he does not want to trap the army in a miserable place in the Southwest Yi.

And time can't be delayed.

Wang Ju thought for a while and said, "Zishan, go back to the rear immediately. From the rear, he dispatched 10,000 troops from Guanshan to north and went to support General Yao Lin."

Wang Ju brought not many troops when he went west, mainly because of supply difficulties. Including Jiaozhi, there were only 10,000 subordinates of Hebin. The rest were placed in Guizhou or Yizhou for food.

This part of the army is being tuned.

After Wang Ju finished writing the order, Wang Zishan rushed back to Guangnan West Road with several guards. Wang Ju went into the house and took the map to watch.

However, the mountains, rivers and rivers marked on the map are limited, not because there is no, but because there is no relevant information.

In fact, since the Han Dynasty, we have gradually started to operate this area. By the Song Dynasty, we have let it go, turning on the entire history of the Northern Song Dynasty. The battles on Kuixia Road were only in the areas south of the Yangtze River. Most of them were because of the frequent invasion of the barbarians and had to helplessly open the edge. However, this kind of lethality has made this area more closed and backward, and the more backward the more barbaric it is. This is the truth of history. So Wang Ju couldn't see anything on the map.

It is not impossible to operate. If the Song Dynasty allowed Wang Ju to hold the power of Guangnan Road and Dali Road in the future and operate it for ten years, the area would be solved sooner or later.

But this is impossible.

Wang Ju had no choice but to put down the map and sent an order to Yao Lin. It would be fine if the land was divided in the rear, but the land should not be divided in the front, and the chieftain system should not be retained. In order to avoid arousing the tenacious resistance of these barbarian leaders. This win-win is not to win over ordinary barbarians, but to be a real barbarian chief, supplemented by shock. It is best to send envoys to inform the barbarian chiefs of all races after a beautiful victory, force them to accept them, even if they are just doing the same thing. Then quickly end the war.

After two orders were issued, Qiong Niang walked in and said, "Officials, Xiao Huang has it."

"Oh, go and have a look."

These are two pony adopted by Wang Ju.

The four horses in Dali, Wumeng horse, Dali horse, Tengchong horse and Tubo Plateau horse.

Both Wumeng Horse and Dali Horse are very short, but they can barely be war horses. One-third of the horses formed by Wang Ju are these two types of horses, and there are also local horses on Guangnan West Road. As for the Tubo Plateau horses and Tengchong horses, there are very few horses.

There are two other types of horses, which are two types of horses from the southern part of Yongzhou and Dali.

These two types of hordes can be ridden, but they cannot be used as war horses.

But they also have their advantages, they are hard-working and not picky about feed, so they are easier to feed. It is impossible to be a combat cavalry, but livestock that can be used as a pick-up car is first-class.

Wang Ju also encouraged the local people to raise them, at least better than donkeys.

Then the managers went to Dali to buy horses, and asked for information and other arrangements, such as Zheng Xuanhe went to the Tongfu Palace to fish, and Jiang Qing and others went to Dali Palace to catch people. However, some managers didn't know much about horses, and most of the horses were not tall anyway, so they bought some Dali horses back.

It’s not that they have no effect, but they can’t be treated as war cavalry. Wang Ju had to sell them to the common merchants to use for goods. However, in this way, it would definitely be a loss. One is war cavalry, and it doesn’t matter if the price is higher, and the other is the load cavalry, which is not worth the cost if the price is higher.

One day, Qiong Niang also went over to see a golden pony with big eyes and long mane, which was very cute, so she wanted to take it in.

Then take it in.

As a result, the little yellow horse hooked up with another little flower horse, so Wang Ju's family raised these two pets.

It was a pet, not a pedestal. Wang Ju also had other pedestals. Some of them were brought from the northwest and died of being unable to adapt to the weather in the south. So Wang Ju added a few taller Tengchong horses.

In Wang Ju's eyes, these horses are truly useful horses, and Wang Ju even planned to cause big horses to eat. Of course, it was not introduced to the Song Dynasty, and there was no good breeding ground. Even if it was introduced to the purebred horse, it would not be very good to cross.

This is to introduce it to the continent on the other side of the ocean to cross it with the Jurchen horses that were originally introduced to see if it can produce a better horse breed.

The actual goal is to find ways to make the horse taller and endure hardships, so that it will be more powerful on the battlefield.

But in fact, these two cute little dadas were more popular than other war horses after they arrived at the Wang family.

Wang Ju walked to Ma Si to see. The black and white little calf-like little calf licked Qiong's hand with his tongue intimately, but looked at Wang Ju with a proud look.

Niang Qiong was giggling.

"This is not a horse, a cow, or the most useless cow." Wang Ju said dissatisfied.

Raised by the servants at home, this little flower pony is too fat. It is completely like an obese cow.

However, the yellow filly was slightly better, and Wang Ju touched Xiao Huang's belly.

It really looks like she is pregnant.

"If you like it, raise a few more horses." Wang Ju said.

"Bring it back to the capital?" asked Qiong Niang.

"Um."

"That's great." Qiong Niang said happily. She understood her husband's intentions. She brought it to the capital to be a pet for several children.

Xiao Huang didn't know where to be good. She just saw the hostess happy and stepped on her hooves happily, as if she was dancing.

Wang Ju hugged his head and said, "The cute child is not right, he is the most invincible young woman."

…………

"Go, go," a fierce aunt walked out of the restaurant and drove Duan Zhengming's brothers away.

Duan Zhengming said in his heart: We are not beggars, nor are we asking for food from you.

But smelling the fragrance of tsampa, Duan Zhengming couldn't help swallowing. Jiang Qing pulled him to the side and whispered: "Criminal, follow me."

He took Duan Zhengming's brothers to a clear pond and said, "Look at it."

Duan Zhengming and Duan Zhengchun buried their heads and looked at the water surface. The figures of these brothers in distress appeared on the water surface. They were dressed in rags, yellow and hungry, and almost never became human.

"Criminal, I didn't intend to torture you. Only in this way can I take you out of the city. Today we will leave the city."

Several beggars walked slowly towards the city gate.

There were many people in Dali City, and Yang Yizhen could not have blocked the city gate. More than ten days later, the city gate opened again and let the people go in and out, but the investigation was very strict.

Duan Zhengming suddenly lowered his head and said, "You can't leave the city."

“Why?”

"There is a person at the city gate who is my servant." Duan Zhengming whispered.

These days, he asked about his family's situation several times, but Jiang Qing said he didn't know. In the end, Duan Zhengming didn't ask again, but he also knew the result in his heart. This made him very sad.

However, Yang Yizhen only killed Duan's immediate family. As for the servants who would not kill him, there was a servant from Duan Zhengming's family at the gate of the city, who cooperated with the officers and soldiers of Dali to watch the pedestrians.

Without further explanation, Jiang Qing also judged that after Yang Yizhen's subordinates broke through Duan Zhengming's family, they found that the brothers were missing. After all, they were Duan Lianyi's nephews, and Duan Lianyi had never had a son, so the Duan Zhengming brothers were also theoretically one of the future successors of Dali. Yang Yizhen must attach great importance to these brothers.

After searching the whole city for no success, the servants of Duan Zhengming's family stood at the gate to prevent the Duan brothers from escaping.

This is a bit difficult to deal with.

"Go back." Jiang Qing said.

Several people retreated to a dilapidated temple. There was a fish shop in front of the temple and a big slag on the edge, which made the smell soar. It was this harsh environment that they escaped Yang Yizhen's search.

As the sky approached dusk, several wild dogs were rummaging on the garbage dump for food. One of the dogs found a big bone, and the other wild dogs went up to fight and then started fighting. The dog was defeated, leaving the bones behind and whimpered dissatisfied while running away.

Duan Zhengchun felt like this wild dog.

Actually, it’s okay. If Wang Ju was not influenced by someone, why bother to attract their brothers? There should not be too many children of the Duan clan.

If that were the case, they would have been killed by Yang Yizhen's subordinates long ago.

Duan Zhengchun said, "I miss the Empress."

Duan Zhengming shut up. He not only missed his parents, but also the Dong family’s wife whom he was engaged to. He didn’t know how the Dong family was doing. He didn’t dare to ask any more these days.

Duan Zhengchun asked Jiang Qing again: "No one resisted that traitor?"

"Second Prince, who do you think will resist? Except for the Gao family of Shanchanfu, who has the strength to resist the Yang family?"

"Where are the people?"

"We are ten taxes in the Song Dynasty, and you are ten taxes in the Dali period. Is it that people who support your Duan family?"

"It won't be that heavy." Duan Zhengming said with wide eyes.

"Criminal, you are rich and well-off, of course you don't know, but your Dali taxes are so heavy."

"Where did such a heavy tax be used?"

"How do I know?" Jiang Qing spread his hands and said.

It was not that so many taxes were all entered into the treasury, but most of them fell into the hands of various powerful people. It turned out that Nanzhao maintained its original ecology, but after Nanzhao captured a large number of craftsmen from Bashu, it brought advanced craftsmanship and luxurious life, just like the singling bamboo stick in Dali. Also known as the golden rattan stick, an ordinary crutch, but inlaid with gold on the outside of the crutch. The craftsmanship was extremely complex, so after the Song Dynasty, it became extremely expensive super luxury goods.

If all nobles want to maintain such a luxurious life, how can they not strip the people of the people?
