In the Nanman area, in Dianchi City, Yizhou County, Liu Bei's army was at the city. The Nanman tribe army was defeated many times and was plotted by Liu Bei's military advisors Wang Meng and Chen Xi, and Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's troops finally advanced to the city of Dianchi.

"The Southern Barbarian Generals came out to fight with Grandpa!"

Zhang Fei held the Snake Spear in his hand and called out under the city. For a moment, no one from the Southern Barbarians dared to go out of the city to fight him.

"I'll kill it!"

Wu Tugu saw Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's might as well as the Southern Barbarians. Among the generals of the Southern Barbarians, he was the only force of his power, and he could barely fight with Guan Yu and Zhang Fei alone.

"You can't go out to fight, or Liu Bei hopes that we will go out to fight."

Mu Ke stopped Wu Tugu who wanted to go out of the city to fight.

Wu Tugu is no match for Guan Yu and Zhang Fei in any case.

Guan Yu and Zhang Fei worked together to defeat Lu Bu.

When the three heroes fight Lu Bu, Liu Bei doesn’t have to interfere, but instead becomes a burden.

"Chu Zi's plan to annex Guanzhong, Xiliang, and dominate the north. Only Liaodong has not yet been pacified. The power is as strong as Cao Wei's heyday. No, it may be stronger than Cao Wei at its peak, because Chu Zi's plan to control the south and north of Mo and has a strong control over various tribes. He should not need us to continue to restrain Liu Bei here, we need to retreat to advance."

Huoan came to the city tower, put one hand on the battlements of vicissitudes, and looked down at the endless Liu Bei army.

He joined forces with Mu Ke to use guerrilla tactics to prevent Liu Bei from entering, which has delayed enough time so that Chu Tian can concentrate on destroying Lao Qin or one of the Mingguans and complete the breakthrough.

Originally, Huoan and Mu Ke thought Chu Tian would take the lead in pacifying Liaodong, but Chu Tian took advantage of the opportunity of Lao Qin's death to pacify Guanzhong and Xiliang first, and expand his sphere of influence to the northwest.

Their mission has been completed.

"Ban Chao, who stayed in Dayuan Kingdom, Gao Xianzhi sent people to report many times. Ogedei recruited soldiers and horses in Central Asia and recruited defeated military generals from various civilizations. He has gathered a considerable number of military generals, named them kings and rewarded land. I am afraid that even Ban Chao, Gao Xianzhi could not contain them. They were not facing a scattered small country in the Western Regions, but a new grassland empire, which is unsettling."

Huoan did not pay attention to the southern barbarians.

Compared with the threat encountered by the Western Region Protectorate, the tug-of-war in the Southern Barbarians is nothing.

"Did Temujin's recruitment order issued a few years ago start to work?"

Mu Ke also knew that before the collapse of Temujin's Mongol Empire, in order to fight against the princes of the Han Empire, Temujin once ordered recruitment orders to all civilizations to absorb all civilized generals. However, at that time, the generals of each civilization had their own lords, and not many famous generals responded to Temujin.

"It shouldn't be that Temujin's world recruitment order had the effect. Ogedei and his subordinates had won all forces in various civilized areas. The defeated people of various civilizations could take refuge under his command. The grassland empire established by Ogedei was a refuge for all civilized areas. The rebel generals of various civilizations could even be crowned kings. With such means, Ogedei absorbed a group of ambitious people. As the second Khan of the Mongol Empire, Ogedei had some means. This was also something that Ogedei could not deal with. The failure of the Battle of Mobei in the last battle in the Western Regions and the failure of the Battle of Mobei taught Ogedei a lesson."

"If this continues, the Empire of Ogedei will cut off the connection between the Eastern continent and the Western continent. The Dayuan Kingdom, the Ili River Valley controlled by the Western Regions Protectorate, are all exposed to the military front of the Ogedei Empire. If you lose Dayuan Kingdom, you need to cross the Pamir Mountains, lose the Ili River Valley, and you need to cross the Tianshan Mountains. In order to avoid organizing another military expedition, I must return to the Western Regions Protectorate and monitor Ogedei's every move."

Huo An was already a little uneasy.

A hegemon was born in Central Asia, and the influence of the Western Regions Protectorate in Central Asia has dropped significantly.

"No matter what, we have completed the task assigned to us by Chu Zimou. Leave some hidden dangers for Liu Bei, and then go to the Western Regions Protectorate."

Mu Ke also believes that the Western Regions Protectorate is more important.

The Mongol Empire rebuilt by Ogedei was more like a Turkic empire, with Turkic cavalry more than Mongolian cavalry.

She recruited several trustworthy leaders of the Southern Barbarian tribes, including Meng Ba, and ordered: "If Liu Bei wants to pacify Nanzhong, he will definitely win you over. You can give me some advice for the time being. In the future, I will return to Nanzhong and respond with one call."

"The prefect wants to abandon us?"

Several large leaders of the Southern Barbarian tribe looked at each other.

Mu Ke could not defend Dianchi Lake and had planned to retreat to the Western Regions Protectorate.

Between the Western Regions Protectorate and the Southern Barbarians, Huoan and Mu Ke chose to protect the Western Regions Protectorate.

Not only that, after Xu Fengnian regained Liangzhou, Huo An recalled the general Huo Qubing and went to defend the Dayuan Kingdom to intimidate Ogedei.

"It will only be that Liu Bei will relax after I leave Nanzhong."

Mu Ke had no choice. The leaders of the Southern Barbarian tribe she controlled and the powerful people in southern Yizhou gave Liu Bei a lot of heads, but Liu Bei's army still came to Dianchi Lake.

Dianchi Lake was besieged. Once she was captured by Liu Bei, the southern barbarian area would be completely pacified by Liu Bei. As long as Mu Ke was still alive, it would not be easy for Liu Bei to conquer the southern barbarian area.

Mu Ke temporarily went to the Western Regions Protectorate to avoid the limelight, and his prestige against the tribes of the Southern Barbarians was still there.

The powerful Yong Kai took the initiative to ask: "I heard that King Xia unified the north and we resisted Liu Bei's offensive. If King Xia can accomplish anything in the future, can we make contributions?"

"Originally counts the credit."

"Many tribes will temporarily return to peace and submit to the governor of Yizhou and wait for me to come back."

Mu Ke made arrangements before quitting the Nanman area.

"This trip is to the Western Regions Protectorate..."

Qin Liangyu received Mu Ke's order.

Although the Northern War was not over, there was no suspense in Chu Tian's victory. After Mu Ke bought time for Chu Tian, ​​he made every effort to assist Huo'an in stabilizing the Western Regions Protectorate.

The pressure brought by the Ogedei Empire was unprecedented. The shadow of the Mongol Empire was cast, and the Western Regions Protectorate was shrouded in the shadow.

"Zhurong, do you want to go to the Western Regions with your sister?"

Qin Liangyu took in the young Mrs. Zhurong.

"Bring her."

Mu Ke appeared, and without waiting for Zhu Rong's answer, he asked Qin Liangyu to take Zhu Rong away.

Not only that, the descendants of several large southern barbarian tribes such as Meng Huo were all taken away by Mu Ke, reducing the possibility that these tribes would be attracted by Liu Bei in the future.

"Western Regions?"

Zhurong still doesn't know the world outside the Southern Barbarians.

Mu Ke's elite army gathered and prepared to break through the encirclement.

Liu Bei's army besieged Dianchi Lake, and it is inevitable that it will win.

The shouts of killing sounded loudly, Wudang Feijun responded outside the city, and joined the defenders in the city, and Mu Ke successfully broke through the siege.

Wudang Feijun tried his best to block Liu Bei's army and gain enough time for Mu Ke to retreat.

To the south of Dianchi Lake, there is also a city with a teleportation array as a way to retreat.

Mu Ke only took away the elite troops and retreated from the Southern Barbarians to the Western Regions Protectorate within two or three days.

In addition, when Liu Bei was advancing towards Dianchi Lake, Mu Ke had already begun to transfer his troops and gold and silver to the Western Regions Protectorate. Liu Bei's army was unable to annihilate the main force of the Southern Barbarian Army, and the gold and silver and weapons of Dianchi Lake were also taken away by Mu Ke.

After Mu Ke deployed, he left the Southern Barbarian tribes, and the various Southern Barbarian tribes dispersed and returned to their respective tribes.

What was left to Liu Bei was a seemingly peaceful Yizhou County.

After the various Southern Barbarian tribes subsided, the Southern Barbarian War was declared over. Liu Bei's army paid a considerable price and won, but under the tranquility, there was still an undercurrent.

The Southern Barbarian tribes living in the deep mountains and forests only surrender on the surface, but have not yet been hurt.

"I heard that Chu Zimou had annexed Guanzhong and Xiliang, and I only pacified Yizhou County, and it took a lot of time."

Liu Bei paid a great price to capture Mu Ke's main city.

"When today's general trend is over, it is a foregone conclusion that Chu Zi plans to dominate the north, and it will be a matter of time before Liaodong is pacified. The lord decides Bashu and the King of Wu determines Jiangdong, and the Chu Zi wants to dominate the whole country. Only by joining forces with the King of Wu, arranging Yang Su, and capturing Hanzhong can you compete with the King of Xia."

Wang Meng discovered that before he knew it, the world had changed from a separatist rule to a situation where the Three Kingdoms were in power.

However, the strength of Chutian's power, whether in Yizhou, Jingzhou or Yangzhou, was like a great enemy.

When Chu Tian completely dealt with some of the remnants of the north, the next one who was unlucky would probably be Liu Bei.

Wang Meng and Chen Xi all realized this.

As a northern prince, if you want to unify the Han Empire, you usually take Sichuan and Shu first, then go downstream, take Jingzhou and Jiangdong, and then fight against Baiyue, and achieve success and fame.

There are exceptions, for example, Cao Cao's strategy is to take Jingzhou first and then hunt down Dongwu.

But Cao Cao suffered a defeat at the Red Cliff.

If the troops are strong enough, they can also launch an attack from Sichuan, Shu and Jingxiang at the same time.

When Kublai Khan in the Yuan Dynasty destroyed the Southern Song Dynasty, the Mongolian army divided into two groups and captured Chengdu and Xiangyang at the same time, with the strong army.

As long as the force is strong enough, fighting on both sides is not impossible.

During the peak period of the Mongolian Empire, multi-line combat was the norm.

In 1235 AD, when Ogedei was the Khan of the Mongol Empire, the Mongolian army divided into two groups to attack the Song Dynasty. In the same year, Subutai and Badu led the eldest son's army to fight westward. In other words, the Mongolian army fought at least on the third line at the same time...

Multi-line combat is enough to prove the strength of a dynasty. During the peak period of the Mongol Empire, it was actually more terrifying than most people imagined, and the pressure faced by various civilizations was huge.

In any case, Sichuan and Shu represented by Liu Bei are likely to be Chu Tian’s next target after he wiped out the north, and Chu Tian may even reappear the battle between Yuan and Song, and take a two-pronged approach.

Liu Bei began to panic.

The strength of Chutian's forces is enough to support multi-line combat.

Chu Tian fought with the two northern princes of the Rangran Old Qin and Mingguan at the same time, which proved that Chu Tian had the ability to fight at least two lines. After annexing Guanzhong and the Western Liang forces, it was not surprising that Chu Tian had the ability to fight on three lines immediately.
