South bank of Lushui River.
Under the mist, everything on the river seemed ethereal.
Gao Ding's barbarian soldiers were already in poor military discipline. Even if E Huan repeatedly warned them, who could care so much when sleepiness came over them?
There seemed to be a few fireflies on the river, slowly heading towards the other side.
In order to avoid the Han army getting lost in the thick fog, Sinan played an important role.
On weekdays, most of the soldiers in the Ordnance Bureau think that they are freeloaders.
It wasn't until they attacked Hanjia Huangyuan, sent out stone chariots and skyfire meteors, and now crossed the Lu River under the divine power, and Si Nan gave him guidance, that they realized Liu Mang's foresight.
Ma Dai was a little seasick and couldn't help but want to vomit. Upon seeing this, Pound directly covered his mouth for fear of disturbing the enemy.
"Bozhan! Just keep at it, we'll be there soon!"
"Ling Ming! Your special mother almost suffocated me to death!"
Ma Dai cursed angrily, and then finally saw the enemy troops on the other side.
"These bastards, I suffered a lot by crossing the river, but they slept peacefully!"
The Han army had strict military discipline and waited for Liu Mang to give unified orders after everyone had crossed the river.
"attack!"
Following Liu Mang's order, the Han army shouted to the sky and rushed straight to the Gaoding military camp!
The Nanzhong rebels who were still sleeping felt like the sound was like thunder and the momentum was like galloping horses!
Many people have become prisoners of the Han army before they wake up.
E Huan didn't sleep peacefully. Sure enough, the Han army attacked!
"Bastard! Those little brats must have been disobedient and chose to sleep if they were kept under strict supervision!"
E Huan was holding the Fangtian Halberd, and when he saw a young man dressed in brocade and jade clothes, he suddenly came to kill him.
"Well done, it's been a long time since we've had a real fight."
"Your Majesty, please leave this person to me?"
"It's okay, let me stretch my muscles a little."
Liu Mang smiled lightly and declined Tai Shiheng's kindness.
E Huan was very powerful. When he fought against Xing Daorong that day, Liu Mang could see that his moves were mainly fierce.
After so many years of honing his marksmanship, he competed with Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Ma Chao, Huang Zhong and others all day long.
Liu Mang wanted to be a waste, but his strength didn't allow it!
The spear in his hand was like a snake spitting out a message, and it went straight to E Huan!
"Third uncle's essence, search the bag and get it!"
Liu Mang learned this move after fighting with Zhang Fei. The move is so powerful that thousands of troops can use it to take the enemy's head like a bag!
E Huan has never seen such a fast gun!
Before he could react, the spear was already pointed at his throat!
E Huan broke out in a cold sweat, but Liu Mang could control it easily.
"What are you doing standing still? Dismount and surrender! For the sake of Lao Xing, I will spare your life!"
"Many...many thanks, General!"
E Huan only felt that the crouching tigers, hidden dragons among the Han army were not comparable to the Nanzhong rebels.
He is considered a good player among the Southern Barbarians, but in the end he is not a single enemy!
"Remember, this is our heir apparent!"
Tai Shi Heng smiled and said: "General Xing has told you many times that you, E Huan, are a righteous man, so the prince has no murderous intention!"
E Huan knelt down on one knee, "I am sincerely convinced of the Crown Prince, and I will never have any second thoughts!"
Liu Mang yawned, "Then find a place for me quickly! I haven't slept all night, I am very tired!"
The Han army was overwhelming, and under the sneak attack, Gaoding's troops had no time to react.
Fortunately, the Haute Couture camp was far away, so he could still run away directly with two thousand troops.
But other tribesmen were not so lucky, and they all became prisoners of the Han army.
Regarding this group of people, Liu Mang waved his hand and let them all go.
Of course, E Huan is no exception, but he will not leave even if he is killed.
There was no other way but to make him deputy general Xing Daorong.
"Your Majesty, Grand Tutor! There are no defenders in the city behind Gaoding. We will be unstoppable along the way!"
"Now that Gao Ding is a frightened bird, he will definitely not dare to return to the city easily!"
E Huan hesitated to speak, Liu Mang smiled and said: "Since you are already one of our own, it doesn't matter."
E Huan knelt down and kowtowed: "There is still Gao Ding's wife and children in the city. I hope the prince will show mercy and not harm their lives. E Huan is very grateful!"
Zhuge Liang sighed with emotion: "Your Majesty, E Huan is a righteous man! You might as well agree to him!"
Liu Mang took a step forward, helped E Huan up personally, and said with a smile: "I didn't want to massacre the people in Nanzhong, and this time I am aiming to kill the leader of the thieves."
"I promise you, I won't hurt Gao Ding's wife, children, and children, so don't worry."
With E Huan as the "leading party", the Han army went all the way south and directly captured Yue Si County.
Gaoding's wife, children, and children were all trembling, fearing that Liu Mang would kill them, or use them to threaten King Yi.
"You don't need to worry. To be honest, Gaoding is no match for our army when facing the enemy head-on."
"Why should I go to all the trouble to threaten him with your lives?"
"Whether you want to stay or not is entirely up to you, and I will never interfere."
Liu Mang's frankness convinced everyone who surrendered in Yuexi County.
This kind of frankness is what is most lacking between Han people and barbarians.
Gao Ding's wife and children wanted to leave, but were persuaded by E Huan.
"There is a chaos of war and chaos outside now, and there is no news about the king yet."
"Your Majesty is a kind man, and he will not threaten the king with you."
"Why not wait for news from the king before making plans?"
Thanks to E Huan's persuasion, Gao Ding's wife and children did not leave.
"Sir, where is Gaoding now?"
Liu Mang did not panic at all. Putting down the chaos in Nanzhong was actually not difficult for the strong Han army.
Even if the army pushed them forward, the barbarians in the thirty-sixth cave in Nanzhong had no power to fight back.
The difficult thing is to calm down the rebellious heart of the barbarians so that they can recognize the Han, recognize the Han, and finally integrate into the Han.
Haute couture is Liu Mang's first test in conquering Nanzhong this time.
"Presumably, he will make peace with Yong Chi, Meng Huo and others."
"Gaoding has a simple mind. From what E Huan said, he is not a treacherous person."
"This rebellion must have been bewitched by Yong Chi."
Zhuge Liang gently shook his feather fan and said with a smile: "Actually, the chaos in Nanzhong was not simply caused by the barbarians. Since the issuance of Zhibaiqian, the wealthy Han people in Nanzhong no longer have the right to price goods."
"This is one of the reasons why they hate Chengdu. Liang doesn't feel the need to forgive these people."
Liu Mang naturally knew that the barbarians were stupid and were deceived into using them as spearmen.
Rich Han people like Yong Chi are the real bad guys, and Liu Mang will never show mercy.
For barbarians like Gao Ding who were deceived into rebelling, Liu Mang would focus on appeasing them.
"Sir, there is news about haute couture."
Taishi Heng came to report: "Gaoding has joined forces with Yong Chi, Zhu Bao, and Meng Huo, and is now preparing to fight our army in the name of avenging Gaoding's wife and children."
Hearing this, Liu Mang laughed and said, "This Yong Chi is really good at stirring up trouble!"
"I am becoming more and more interested in him! As for Meng Huo, I would like to see how many times I capture him before I am convinced!"
