"I am aware of my crimes, so I would like to ask the marquis to be punished!" Jiang Han, who had been standing beside him, shook his body suddenly when he heard the sound, and then knelt down and confessed his guilt. He naturally knew his nature well for this boss, Marquis. Although he was gentle and easy to speak on weekdays, once he was really angry, he would not be a sympathetic existence.

After his faint eyes settled on him for a while, Xiao Ding whispered: "I asked you, are you planning to go to Qianzhou for revenge this time?"

“That’s right.”

"Then have you found out who the murderer who killed Jiang You?"

"I never... I thought that I might find it when I arrived at the place, but before I arrived in Qianzhou, I heard something happened there, so I changed my mind again." In front of Dingxi Hou, Jiang Han did not dare to say a lie.

Xiao Ding's face then calmed down a little, and he snorted: "You are not so confused that you are hopelessly confused. Do you know that once you really lead troops into Qianzhou at this time, how much trouble will it bring to the court? Do you know that in just half a month, many rebellions have occurred in various prefectures and counties in southern Yunnan. This marquis has sent several groups to quell the rebellion. If something happens to you in Qianzhou again, I am afraid that the entire southwest will be in chaos!"

"Ah... Father, is there any trouble elsewhere?" Xiao Chengzhi was shocked and couldn't help asking.

"Yes, in this half month, not only Jinning, you just suppressed, but also in many places, but also caused chaos in other places. Most of them were due to conflicts between the two tribes and then spread to the dispute between the two tribes, and there were also remnants of the Huntian Army..." In front of these confidants, Xiao Ding had no intention of hiding it, and casually revealed the current uneasy situation in southern Yunnan.

As he said, in the first month of this new year, there were four prefectures and ten counties in southern Yunnan, and most of these places were controlled by the nominal court. However, the Shanshan, which belonged to Duan Gao, the two prefectures and Anning seemed quite calm...

After listening to his somewhat general narrative, the faces of several subordinates in the hall became more and more serious. After a while, Xiao Chengzhi said concerned: "Father, how should we deal with this chaos next? Will we use all our efforts to combat the rebellion?"

At this time, Sun Bi, who had been silent, spoke: "Uncle, can you find out which force is the main force behind this accident?"

Xiao Ding looked at Sun Bi with satisfaction and nodded, "Bi'er's words came to the point. In fact, this is the most uneasy place. It seems that rebellions everywhere are spontaneous, but in fact, someone must have provoked them. But it is definitely not a remnant of the Huntian Army. They do not have such skills yet."

"That should be the Luotian Sect. We took down some Luotian Sect people in Jinning. They have killed many people in the city and provoked people..." Xiao Chengzhi gave his own opinion, but Xiao Ding disagreed: "It is indeed possible, but there is a force that I care more about."

"Those Duan Gao, who were regarded as co-leaders by many barbarians?" Sun Bi said understandingly.

The barbarians in the southwest are not only divided into two raw and mature branches, but also the two have actually subdivided many villages and tribes. Their battles have not stopped over the years. This is also a key to the Great Yue court's ability to take control and allow the Han people to take root here.

However, these barbarians were not completely unable to reach a consensus, or they would have become a mess. If this were the case, with the ability and strength of Dingxi Hou, the southwest would have been completely unified. The key is that they actually recognized that they had a master, that is, the Duan clan of Dali, which was destroyed a hundred years ago, and the Gao clan who had assisted in the government for many years and had not declined for hundreds of years.

In fact, in fact, these two tribes also have Han ancestry, but after years of ethnic integration, the barbarians have long identified these two surnames as their own family members, and they are powerful clans. Naturally, many small tribes have attached themselves to their subordinates, just like many mature barbarian tribes in Qianzhou follow the same principle.

The two families have a higher status and reputation in southern Yunnan than the Long family in Qianzhou because they can also influence Shengman. In this way, although the two families are divided into southern Yunnan, their strength is not below the Long family, which is only familiar with the familiar Man.

These two families have been more low-key than the Long family for many years. Although they have gained a lot of benefits, if you really ask who is the one in southern Yunnan, you will probably assume that Xihou is. But is this true? Only from the taxation field, you can actually see the clues, and Xiao Ding has just gained a false reputation.

"As of the moment, these two families are probably no longer at ease with this affordability. Although the two governments where they are located have not yet had any trouble, if I expected it, I am afraid that the chaos in various places will not be related to them. At least in terms of time, only when they issue orders can the barbarians in various places start up almost simultaneously." Xiao Ding said, looking at Jiang Han, "Have you noticed something strange before you inspected various places?"

Jiang Han shook his head confusedly. He had never noticed such sharp and irreconcilable conflicts in various places before. Although he mostly went to various places to inspect military affairs, he still knew more about the situation of the local people.

In this way, everyone present had a clearer view. The chaos that broke out in southern Yunnan this time was caused by someone behind the scenes. Even though the chaos in Jinning was quickly suppressed by them, it did not have much impact on the entire Kunming state, but the situation elsewhere had deeply hurt the entire southern Yunnan.

"Father, how should I deal with it next?"

"We can only go in two steps. The first is to send troops to suppress them forcibly. Fortunately, the riots in these places are not too big, and they started in a hurry and did not have too many weapons or anything else in their hands. Therefore, as long as the troops are mobilized in time, they can suppress the chaos."

As he said that, Xiao Ding frowned again, "As for the second point, the most important thing is to find out the specific attitudes of the Duan Gao and the other surnames. Only by understanding what they were thinking can we focus on and control the situation as soon as possible."

Even though he had guessed that this matter was inseparable from the two families, it was difficult to take the initiative before obtaining the exact evidence, let alone use the Dingxi Army directly.

"But fortunately, the opportunity has come to the forefront. In a few days, it will be the annual worship of the God of Spring. At that time, according to the schedule set last year, major officials in southern Yunnan will gather in Chuxiong Prefecture. As long as we are ready there and ask the matter clearly, we can solve the current crisis at the lowest cost."

Xiao Ding's words made everyone look suspicious, and Sun Bi said even more uneasy: "Uncle, are you planning to take risks and talk to them?" After seeing the other party nodding, he followed, "This is too dangerous. Uncle, I know we can make arrangements, but if those barbarians really want to make trouble, they will definitely not miss such an opportunity. I'm afraid that their nails have been buried there. Once this time passes, I'm afraid..."

"Of course I know that going there is extremely dangerous, but I can't avoid it anymore, because just yesterday, Gao Wenyi and Duan Siyu wrote a letter to me in Chuxiong that day to discuss major events. Do you think I have any reason to refuse?"

"Ah? Then they must have a conspiracy!" Xiao Chengzhi was shocked and almost shouted this sentence. Jiang Han even made a statement: "Marty, this is their conspiracy, we must not be fooled."

"But if they don't go, they will be regarded as timid and feared by all the barbarians. By then, their uncle's reputation will be damaged and they will become more and more unscrupulous." Sun Bi saw a further problem, looking worried.

Xiao Ding nodded: "Yes, they only dared to invite me to Chuxiong without hesitation after seeing this."

Now, the two who had opposed it one after another had nothing to say because they also knew that these two choices were not easy to make and could have extremely bad consequences.

Finally, Xiao Ding smiled again: "Actually, I have already made a decision that I must go, but it's just how to go there, and what should I do after I get there. Judging from the current situation, it might be a turnaround for us to go there. After all, when I know that I'm in Chuxiong, some people will inevitably relax their guard. Do you understand what I mean?"

As his eyes swept, these confidants who were most familiar with Dingxi Hou had reacted one after another. They all showed contemplation on their faces, and after a moment, they all nodded.

"That's why I'm so anxious to ask you all to come back. Now most of the Dingxi Army has been sent out by me to suppress the chaos in various places, and you are the only ones who can shoulder the next important task." Xiao Ding said, and even issued an order directly.

These commands were given very quickly, obviously the countermeasures he had decided after careful consideration, and it was indeed a wonderful way to change the current dilemma. Several of them held their own fists and took the order, either following him to Chuxiong or staying in Kunming. Anyway, everyone has heavy responsibilities, so no one can think of it easy.

"Okay, I have finished everything I should say, and it's up to you next. As long as this matter can be accomplished, there will be no major chaos in southern Yunnan within at least ten years. At that time, we can further think about seizing more forces from the Duan Gao family, and even completely eradicating them!" At this point, Xiao Ding was even more murderous, with a gleam in his eyes, "You all prepare for each one, I'll set off in two days."

"As for the order!" These people all received the order, but then Xiao Chengzhi asked again: "How should Li Ling and the others settle down?"

"They are indeed not the time to come, so they can only be wronged. Let's live in Kunming for a few days first. As long as they don't leave the city, they will let them walk around." In the face of the current major events, the small matters of the court and their little things were too trivial in the eyes of Xiao Dingxi Hou.
