After rescuing Sun Bi and confirming that he was safe, Bai Xianyang could finally leave Kunzhou with peace of mind and discuss further cooperation with Duan Gao and other barbarian tribe leader for Xiao Ding to resolve the chaos in southern Yunnan. This time, their momentum and grasp were obviously more than before, but he still had some knots in his heart, which was about the relationship between Xian'er and Sun Bi.

As for Kunzhou City, after rescuing Sun Bi, he did not relax further searching for the remnants of Luotian Sect and Huntian Army. Moreover, because he caught some survivors, he had further clues. Therefore, in just a few days, he actually attacked several opponents' footholds, but in the end he was still one step late.

Those places had already left empty, and no clues were left. Obviously, after Sun Bi was rescued and a nest was broken, they already knew their dangerous situation, so they made a quick decision and fled Queensland first.

Although the government is constantly searching for the whereabouts of the thieves, it is impossible to close the four gates and trap everyone in this city. Therefore, when these guys who have not yet been found to have a confirmed identity are confused and leave the city, it is impossible for the defenders to find out and capture them.

At this time, a caravan was moving quickly on the official road. In one of the carriages, Mo Lizheng coughed from time to time, and his face looked very bad. The sudden long journey was indeed a kind of harm to his body, but what made him feel even more uncomfortable was that this time the plan was completely broken and the effort was in vain.

I think he was called "Skynet" ten years ago. He has always been meticulous in the calculations and has no omissions. However, he did not expect that he was defeated so badly in Kunming this time. Not only did he fail to achieve the set goal, but he also lost a large amount of manpower. He also dragged down the Luo Tian Sect, who was an ally.

"What was my mistake? What details did I missed to completely fail the overall plan..." Mo Li, who was sitting in the carriage, was still unwilling to turn his thoughts. He didn't think there was any missing flaws before, so where did the change happen?

Yes, it was Xiao Ding and his fellow return to Kunming early, which disrupted his initial deployment, otherwise there would be only more barbarians and horses to be used, rather than just the twelve villages. In that case, even if there is some defense in the city, the war may change due to the equal strength of the troops.

Also, why did Xiao Ding suddenly realize that all this was his own strategy to lead him out of the city, and thus an ambush came to the ground with a plan? With his understanding of these people, neither Xiao Ding nor his generals did not have such vision. Who reminded him of this?

At this moment, Mo Li's expression became extremely solemn, and he had already made a decision in his heart. He had to use all means to find the guy who reminded Xiao Ding that he had completely failed and quickly eliminated it. Otherwise, he would be afraid that he might be in the other party's hands in the future.

As for who this person is... Although the people on his side have been cut off, fortunately, there is an ally of Luo Tian Sect, who asks them to use some means to inquire and always know the answer. Now, everything can only be achieved by the Luo Tian Sect's eyeliner who is still hidden!

Having made up his mind, Mo Li slapped the wall of the carriage and immediately attracted the guards protecting the left and right of the carriage: "What are the instructions of the military advisor?"

"Send a carrier pigeon back and ask the Luotian Sect people to help me find someone..." Mo Li immediately ordered. At this moment, this unknown guy poses a greater threat in his heart than Xiao Ding, and has become the primary goal that must be eradicated first!

...

Li Ling, who is in Kunming, didn't know that he had been mistressed by Mo Li. At this time, he was still feeling embarrassed, whether it was time for him to leave southern Yunnan.

The current situation in southern Yunnan is unstable, and it is too unrealistic to ask here to pay out hundreds of thousands of taels of taxes that are far more than the previous year. He also asked himself that under such circumstances, he could not help too much, and keeping it may be targeted by those thieves, causing unnecessary trouble to Xiao Ding and the others. Since that is the case, it would be better to take advantage of the situation that has improved a little and leave this place of fault and return to the Central Plains.

But after hearing his thoughts, not only Xiao Ding, but also Sun Bi also objected: "No, it's too dangerous for you to leave Kunzhou at this time. Even if we seem to have the upper hand now, everything outside the city is not under our control. Even if we don't mention the Luo Tian Sect and the Hun Tian Army, just those barbarians who are ready to move may be detrimental to you halfway."

Xiao Ding then smiled and said, "Wen Zhong, aren't you here to come to southern Yunnan without reluctance to work hard? Now that things have not been done yet, you are about to leave. Are you willing?"

Li Ling smiled bitterly: "So what if you are unwilling to give up? In the current situation, can southern Yunnan still take out more money? And I can't help here, but it will increase the risk of the marquis. So it's better to take a step earlier."

"Who said you can't help? If you hadn't had your timely reminder several times, I'm afraid my Kunzhou has fallen, and even this marquis might have fallen into the hands of those traitors! It's not an exaggeration to say that you have made great contributions this time." Xiao Ding immediately refuted, "As for the so-called risks, the risks outside the city are greater than those inside and outside the city. If they really want to attack you, do you think you can leave southern Yunnan safely?"

"Also, you have to enter Qianzhou again when you return to Central Plains. There are already thieves who have been controlled by the thieves. Isn't your trip just to send sheep into the tiger's mouth?"

The two of them said and said something, and they really dissuaded Li Ling. Seeing that he was moved, Xiao Ding followed him again: "There is another point. In my opinion, this chaos is still an opportunity for the court. Maybe it can subdue the forces in southern Yunnan, so that the taxes and silver collected are more sufficient than in previous years. So as long as you wait patiently, you may even achieve this goal."

"Mr. Marquis really feels there is a chance?" Li Ling was really moved. After all, Isn't it just for this purpose to suffer so much and take such a big risk to come to the southwest?

"It should be quite sure, it depends on what the Duan Gao family is next. As long as they nodded, our parties work together to suppress the rebellion, and there are many things to discuss. Haven't I let you get close to Bai Xianyang before? This can also be started with him."

Li Ling was stunned and quickly reacted: "Does Marquis refer to commercial tax?"

"That's right. In the past few years, although many people in southern Yunnan were engaged in business, they rarely collected commercial taxes because the court did not require it, and the local government even encouraged them to deliver various goods everywhere. But then, some policies should change. As long as he, the Southwest God of Wealth, took the lead in making a statement, others could only keep up. Do you understand what I mean?"

"The official understands. I will stay for a while and wait for Boss Bai to come back and talk to him." Li Ling suddenly felt refreshed. As a time traveler, he knew very well how much the amount of commercial tax was. Even in a border area like southern Yunnan, as long as it was implemented, hundreds of thousands of taels of silver could be easily received in a year.

Before, it was just because the southwest had never received this money that he had no idea about this. But now, the opportunity has come to his mind, so he naturally has to try his best to seize it.

The next development can be summarized in four words, that is, "Everything goes well"!

First, the barbarian villages near Kunming responded. Many people were worried that this massacre would cause tough revenge from these barbarians. But as a result, what was waiting for was their surrender and admitting their mistakes. Just a few days later, the barbarian villages sent old people from the clan to enter the city to admit their mistakes.

These people's attitude was still very sincere and did not dare to have any resentment. At the same time, they also pushed all the mistakes to those tribe members who died in battle or were killed. They said bluntly that they had been determined to lead the elite troops in the village to invade Kunzhou. Now they have died and only hope that the government can forgive other tribe members.

Even Xiao Ding was a little surprised by this attitude, because in the past, those who were born were always particularly arrogant and unreasonable, and rarely bowed to the government.

But if you think about it carefully, you will understand that it is different from the past.

This time, all the young and strong men of each were born, and countless casualties were killed or injured. Even if some of them escaped back, it was not worth mentioning to the entire village. It can be said that the current barbarians of each family are at the weakest time, and the morale of the government is growing. Once the government really wants to pursue the matter and send troops to attack directly, I am afraid that none of the twelve villages can be defended.

Under such circumstances, all they can do is to admit defeat and surrender, and only hope that the government can not pursue the previous mistakes.

How could Xiao Ding let go of such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity? He immediately made a series of reactions, on the one hand, comforted the remaining barbarians in various villages, and told them openly that they would not add the faults of their tribe to the innocent. On the other hand, he quickly sent people to move out these barbarian villages that were still hidden deep in the mountains and forests, and settled them in a position that the government could take care of.

The reason for this approach is still very reasonable, that is, now all the young and strong are killed and injured in various villages, and it is extremely difficult to rely solely on the elderly, weak, women and children to protect themselves or produce. Therefore, for their safety and survival considerations, the government needs good care.

The situation is stronger than that of the people and the barbarians of various villages who have lost their confidence can only choose to compromise. With the assistance of the government, they moved out of the mountain villages that have lived for generations and came to the edge of the forest closer to the city. In this way, in a few years, these barbarians will be transformed into mature barbarians, solving the hidden dangers that have plagued Queensland for many years.

Shortly afterwards, another even more exciting good news was brought back by Bai Xianyang. Duan Gao and his family really accepted Xiao Ding's proposal and issued a formal proclamation to join forces with the Dingxi Army to suppress the rebellious Shengman in various places.

As the news spread, most of the barbarians in chaos in southern Yunnan immediately stopped. It is unknown whether they felt the threat or were ordered by the two families to do so.
