The Chronicles of Longevity on Liaozhai Road

But this is something for later, let's not mention it for the time being.

Besides, although Xue Feng has pacified the south, it doesn't mean the war is over.

Because in the mountains in the south, there are still many Yi tribes active. These people don't obey the discipline, they come out of the mountains from time to time, attack the government and rob food, making Xue Feng feel a little overwhelmed.

Chapter 692

But for these Yi tribes, the previous dynasties focused on appeasement, so Xue Feng didn't dare to send troops to suppress them without authorization, so he could only write a memorial to report the situation here to Yang Heng.

It took a long time for Yang Heng in Nanjing to receive this memorial.

For the current Yang Heng, he didn't want to leave troubles for his descendants, so he issued an imperial decree on the day he received the memorial, asking Xue Feng to send troops to pay in. He must let these Yi people know the majesty of the court. After that, he worked honestly for the court.

Xue Feng didn't dare to neglect after receiving the imperial edict, and immediately summoned 10,000+ militiamen in the local area.

Most of these people are servants of local landlords, and some are strong hunters.

Then, led by these people, hundreds of thousands of troops began to swarm towards the mountains in the south.

Although the Yi people in the mountains are very brave and good at fighting, to be honest, their productivity level is very low.

Almost no one wears armor, and there are all kinds of weapons in their hands. If there is one piece of iron, it is considered a high incense, and this is probably passed down from the predecessors.

Before confronting the regular army, they naturally borrowed this man's bravery to be very powerful, plus they adapted to life in the mountains, crossing mountains and ridges as if walking on flat ground.

Therefore, as long as there is no large-scale encirclement and suppression by the regular army, ordinary local officials have nothing to do with them.

But this time it was different. Not only did they have to face the civilian army composed of 10,000+ locals, but they also had to face hundreds of thousands of well-equipped regular troops.

Therefore, after just a few battles, they left a lot of corpses, and finally had to retreat to the mountains and started to fight a guerrilla war with Xue Feng.

Xue Feng really had no way to deal with these elusive Yi people at first.

But as the number of attacks increased, Xue Feng also began to get annoyed.

He also began to crazily gather the Yi people in the mountainous area, but those who resisted a little were exterminated.

And as the old, weak, sick and disabled among these mountain people were driven down the mountain, those strong men of the Yi nationality on the mountain also began to slowly lose their logistical supplies.

Although they can find some food in the mountains and forests all year round, it is not a long-term solution after all. After all, they have to exchange with the Han people at the foot of the mountain for such scarce supplies as salt.

Without salt, no matter how full they eat and how well they drink, their physical fitness will decline rapidly as time goes by.

Therefore, as time went by, their combat effectiveness began to weaken.

In any nation, there will be some traitors.

Among these Yi tribes, there is no exception.

Therefore, under Xue Feng's lure, he actually recruited some guides, and under the leadership of these people, Xue Feng's army was divided into more than a dozen groups and began to sweep through the mountains.

This time, thanks to the guides, the strong men of the Yi nationality in the mountains did not escape as easily as before. Xue Feng quickly caught their tails, followed the clues, and found their traces one after another. won several battles.

In this way, these people had to move deeper into the forest again.

But the further they went into the deep mountain, the harder it was to find food, and the mosquitoes and beasts were all over the place, which made their casualties even worse.

In the end, the leaders of the Yi tribe also knew that if they continued like this, what awaited them would be the extermination of the tribe.

So they had no choice but to send envoys to Xue Feng's camp to negotiate with Xue Feng.

Xue Feng originally thought that they wanted to surrender, so he was very happy to receive the envoy.

As a result, when the messenger opened his mouth, Xue Feng was so angry that he was half dead.

It turned out that the conditions offered by the Yi tribe leaders on the mountain were really ridiculous.

They actually wanted Xue Feng to retreat and hand over the Yi people in the mountains to them for management. From then on, they would deliver 100 million dans of grain every year to appease the people of the Yi people.

In return, they just showed their submission to the court.

Xue Feng didn't have any interest in negotiating with them anymore, so he just drove these people out of the camp.

Afterwards, Xue Feng immediately set up troops to suppress them, wanting to give them some color and let them give up these unnecessary illusions.

But this time Xue Feng did not go as smoothly as before.

It turned out that the wizards of the Yi tribe did not participate in the previous conflicts between the two sides.

This time Xue Feng went all out to attack, these wizards thought they were on the verge of life and death, so they came to help.

Therefore, what Xue Feng faced this time was no longer the soldiers of the Yi tribe, but all kinds of Gu worms that were impossible to guard against.

In addition, there are many little ghosts wandering outside the barracks, ready to choose someone and devour them at any time.

This disturbance caused Xue Feng's army to panic, and the morale of the army began to fluctuate.

Therefore, Xue Feng had to withdraw from the forest temporarily, and then began to write to Yang Heng again, asking Yang Heng to send former practitioners to help.

Yang Heng originally thought that Xue Feng's assessment of those Yi tribes would be very smooth, but he didn't expect that the other party really had two brushes, and even blocked hundreds of thousands of pioneer soldiers.

However, for such a small matter as reinforcements, Yang Heng would naturally not do it himself, so he entrusted everything to Fairy Qinglian.

And Xiangu Qinglian naturally didn't pay attention to those wizards of the Yi tribe.

So she sent a message to each faction, and after that, each faction sent some juniors as experience, all let them go to Miaojiang to fight against those wizards of the Yi nationality.

After the disciples of these various factions arrived at the barracks, they were divided into dozens of groups under Xue Feng's arrangement, and led the soldiers back into the forest.

For these elite disciples of various sects, those wizards of the Yi nationality are not enough.

Their spells are all heretics, and when they encountered these orthodox sects, they were naturally beaten to the ground, and soon the last reliance of the Yi people was also suppressed.

At this time, the leaders of the Yi people knew that they had played all their cards and had no way to fight against the imperial court. In order for the nation to continue to exist, they could only make a comprehensive compromise.

So when they sent envoys to the Pioneer camp again, this time their attitude was very correct, and their tone was very weak. They only asked for the preservation of the nation, and they could give up other things.

This time, along with these envoys, in addition to these envoys, they also brought a large amount of gold, silver, jewelry and rare treasures.

Besides these, they also brought a woman.

This woman has always been wearing a veil, but just from her slim figure, Xue Feng knew that she was a rare beauty.

This woman is the saint of the clan, who has been raised in the mountains and rarely shows up in front of people.

This time, for the sake of the nation, the saint also made up her mind to sacrifice herself, and came to Xue Feng's camp in person, offering herself to Xue Feng.

She was thinking of serving Xue Feng with her beauty, and then saving her nation from more severe blows.

If possible, she even wanted to use Xue Feng's prestige in the Song court to give her own nation some long-term benefits.

For such a woman, the former Xue Feng was naturally able to correct his mentality, but with his high position and weight, this general has become a bit addicted to sex.

As for Xue Feng's change in temperament, Yang Heng also contributed to it.

So on that night Xue Feng met the saint.

Then things went smoothly.

The forces of the Yi tribe finally put down their weapons and walked out of the mountains again.

And Xue Feng finally completed this mission and began to return to Nanjing with the army.

The whirlwind along the way was finally elated.

When going south, Xue Feng was in a heavy heart, and he didn't give the people below a good face along the way.

When he came back, he was naturally in high spirits. He passed by some scenic spots, and he wanted to take the saint of the Yi nationality beside him for sightseeing.

In this way, when Xue Feng returned to Nanjing City and appeared in front of Yang Heng, he actually gained a lot of weight.

Yang Heng was on the top of the main hall, looking at Xue Feng who was kneeling below and nodded in satisfaction.

This is not Yang Heng's admiration for Xue Feng's achievements in the Southern Expedition this time, but his satisfaction with Xue Feng's tour of mountains and rivers on the way back.

What does this mean?

This shows that Xue Feng no longer has the vigor he had when he first started to follow him in the South and North Wars, and he is completely addicted to enjoyment.

This is a very good phenomenon for Yang Heng, who has already controlled the world and is a little afraid of the generals holding military power.

If the generals under him were like Xue Feng, then he would have nothing to worry about.

After thinking of this, Yang Heng couldn't help thinking of Wang Xue in Nanjing.

This Wang Xue has now become a little domineering and unscrupulous.

But that's not his fault.

Among the three commanders sent by Yang Heng, he is the only one alive now.

Guo Yun had already been executed for treason, so Liu Yue was even more unlucky, and died of illness on the way.

Therefore, Wang Xue believes that he is now the first of the generals under Yang Heng's command.

Although he was still respectful and respectful when facing Yang Heng, and he didn't dare to be a little sloppy, but he looked down upon Yang Heng's other generals, and often scolded them face to face.

And many of these people are Yang Heng's confidants, so when they met Yang Heng a few times, they couldn't help complaining to Yang Heng.

As these people continued to speak out, Yang Heng gradually became very disgusted with Wang Xue.

So seeing Xue Feng's obedience and wit this time, he naturally thought of Wang Xue's domineering.

However, after all, Wang Xue was responsible for the Southern Expedition, and he also made great efforts to encircle and suppress Guo Yun, so Yang Heng has no way to punish him without reason.

But Yang Heng immediately had an idea, since you look down on other generals, then I will use this as an excuse to give you some color.

Therefore, Yang Heng was on the main hall that night, celebrating the meritorious service of Xue Feng and other soldiers.

Above the main hall, Yang Heng praised Xue Feng's family, and even compared Xue Feng to the top general under his command.

As for Wang Xue, who was sitting below, seeing Xue Feng's complacent look, he felt a little angry.

He said in his heart: Your journey to the south went so smoothly this time, not because of the foundation I laid for you last time. What qualifications do you have to be so arrogant in front of me now?

Chapter 693

Sitting on the throne, Yang Heng could clearly see the situation below.

This is exactly what he would like to see.

He was also afraid that the generals below would huddle together one by one, and later, would pose a threat to his descendants.

Right now.

Then the army began to rest in Nanjing for a few days. After Yang Heng arranged his affairs in the south, he began to return to the capital with his troops.

This time the journey went smoothly, and after some days of trekking, the army finally returned to the capital.

When Yang Hengkuai's army was about to approach the capital, Jin Chanwen took his son Yang Renmu and all the civil and military officials to the Shili Changting Pavilion to pick them up.

Immediately, Yang Heng saw Jin Chanwen and his son standing by the side of the road from a distance, waving to him with a smile.

So Yang Heng quickly urged the horse to leave the team, came to Jin Chanwen's side, and then got off the horse.

At this time, Jin Chanwen had brought her son to the ground and knelt down.

Yang Heng took a step forward, quickly helped Jin Chanwen up, and then looked at his clumsy son with a doting smile on his face.

So he took a step forward and hugged his son in his arms, and then kissed him on the face.

Yang Renmu seemed to have been stabbed by Yang Heng's beard, and his small face kept leaning back to avoid Yang Heng's face.

No matter how Yang Renmu hid, Yang Heng still leaned forward and continued to kiss him on the face a few times.

Yang Heng didn't give up until the bullying Yang Renmu was about to cry.

And Jin Chanwen stood by and watched the interaction between the father and son, and the smile on his face couldn't stop.

Yang Heng hugged his son and was about to call everyone into the city when he suddenly remembered something, looked around and asked Jin Chan Wen.

"Why didn't Erya come?"

Hearing this name, Jin Chanwen frowned, and a cloud seemed to appear on her face, but soon, she regained her bright smile.

"It's nothing, Erya just gave birth and her body is weak, so I let her rest in the palace."

When Yang Heng heard that Erya had given birth, surprise appeared on his face.

"Was it a boy or a girl? Why didn't anyone report it to me?"

Jin Chanwen was a little angry in her heart, but she still replied calmly.

"Mother and child are safe, and the baby is a boy. As for not reporting to His Majesty, it is because of fear of disturbing His Majesty's mood, thus delaying the military plane."
