Faced with such a secret document, Liu Yu fell into silence for a long time. He did not expect that sending Su Yan to the south would harm him this time.

All of this seemed to be his conspiracy.

Liu Yu felt a little sorry for Su Yan. Even when Liu Yu drove Su Yan off the stage, he didn't feel as huge as today's debt. Su Yan was like a dissatisfied child. Although he was rebellious and sometimes made mistakes, he was just a child after all, and no father would send his child to death.

After a long silence, Liu Yu breathed a long sigh, cheered up his spirits, and immediately held an emergency military meeting.

Liu Yu now doesn't care about anything else, he wants to see people and bodies living, and he also needs to investigate who has repeatedly been enemies of the court. All of this requires manpower and material resources to investigate.

The military meeting was very peaceful. In fact, no one at the meeting had such a deep affection for Su Yan except Liu Yu. For them, Su Yan died or something better, which would have less worries. In fact, some people would also wonder if this was Liu Yu's behind the scenes, but judging from Liu Yu's serious and angry expression, Liu Yu was obviously unaware of it in advance.

Huaji'an Road: "Chang'an City is high and far away from Jiangyou. I am afraid that the clues have been cut off when I sent people there. This matter should be investigated by the local government."

Although Hua Ji'an's opinion was pertinent, Liu Yu couldn't listen. In Liu Yu's opinion, the land of Jiangyou was also considered to be the hinterland of the Central Plains. The local garrison troops were all the soldiers of King Jing who had been beaten by him. These people could not even learn about a large number of bandits entering their territory. It was as if they were clearly preparing to sink the truth into the sea.

"This matter is of great importance and is likely to be a precursor to the rebellion." Liu Yu said, "It is better to send a trustworthy general to Chang'an City to seize local military power and investigate the matter by the way."

Hua Ji'an asked, "Who is the right person?"

Liu Yu swept around the army and finally fell on Huo Bing, who was absent-mindedly yawning: "It is more appropriate to go Yonghou."

"Me?" Huo Bing shouted, "Is it not suitable? I'm very busy lately. I don't have time to go to the south, so you'd better find someone else."

He dared to openly sing a different tune with Liu Yu in front of the generals, but when Liu Yu was very cold and serious, there was no one else attending the meeting except Huo Bing.

Hua Ji'an felt a little embarrassed: "General, although Yonghou is brave, his plan is insufficient. This time, he will take the investigation of the rebellion first, and it is not appropriate to send Yonghou to him. It is better to go to investigate the situation of the rebellion. It is better to go to investigate and rush to the sky at night and arrive in ten days."

Liu Yu glanced at Hua Ji'an. In fact, Liu Yu didn't really want to transfer Hua Ji'an to Chang'an City, mainly because Hua Ji'an was once a rebel general of the King of Huai. And this trip was to Jiangyou, which was close to Huai. If Hua Ji'an had collusion with the rest of the King of Huai, it might be a return to the mountain.

After all, Liu Yu did not trust Hua Ji'an very much.

Liu Yu said: "This matter should be done by the rebels, and the rebels should be related to the Lingnan military faction. This trip is not just for investigation, but also for the local garrison. It is necessary to prevent the rebellion of the Lingnan faction. Therefore, it may be more suitable for the Yonghou to go."

Liu Yu said this and thought about it and added, "But since Yun Yihou intends to go first, it may be better for the two to set out separately. Yun Yihou set out first as the imperial envoy. Yonghou and others mobilized some new troops to be transferred to the south for inspection and training. It is not too late to set off. If there are chaos in the place, you two can do things cheaply."

Liu Yu said this, which was equivalent to sending two people, and they did not interfere with each other, not leaving behind. Although Hua Ji'an was a military general, he would go to the local area to investigate as an imperial envoy of civil officials, while Huo Bing went there in the name of inspecting the group training. Liu Yu was more at ease with both civil and military affairs.

Huo Bing was reluctant to accept it. However, he still reluctantly agreed and went back to Tonghua Ji'an to prepare for the trip to Jiangnan.

After the military meeting ended, Liu Yu couldn't calm down. Perhaps Su Yan had already felt danger before this trip, so he actually left Sun Xiaoyu in Chang'an City. In this way, even if something happened to him, Su Yan would leave his bones and blood. Liu Yu wanted to tell Sun Xiaoyu about this, but after thinking about it, Sun Xiaoyu was about to give birth. At this time, he told her that the bad news was undoubtedly a blow to her.

Although Liu Yu deliberately did not conceal the whereabouts of Su Yan's rebellion, there was no airtight wall. Soon there was a rumor in the court that something happened to the Southern King on his way to the vassal state, and they still don't know what happened.

In the next few days, more news came to Liu Yu.

The time when Su Yan was attacked was on the third day of the second month, which was the third day after Liu Liniang sent the letter. The incident happened very coincidental, which made Liu Yu think that Liu Liniang might have known the news in advance and was not convenient to write the letter, so he had to use a special method to remind Liu Yu. However, because Liu Yu did not expect that it would be Su Yan's business in advance, and the letter itself was delayed, Liu Yu caught the incident off guard.

Su Yan was attacked on the official road from Jiangyou to Lingzhou. Afterwards, when the local garrison troops arrived, everyone in Su Yan's convoy was cut off to prevent the existence of survivors. The methods used by the rebels were extremely cruel. Then the local officials and the local garrison troops launched an investigation, but none of them were found. After the rebels attacked Su Yan's convoy, they evaporated from the world with Su Yan.

Liu Yu expanded the map and looked at it. The incident happened very close to Meiguan Mansion, which was responsible for guarding Meiling Canyon Road in the south and Chuanqi Road.

Because Lingnan has always been regarded as a "barbarian land", and the ethnic minorities in Lingnan are also called the Southern Barbarians, the courts have strictly guarded Lingnan in all dynasties. From Hunan to southern Jiangyou to southwest Fujian and the five ridges, the imperial court has set up many passes to prevent the rebellion of ethnic minorities in the south. Local guards have their own troops, and many of them have formed local emperors. The imperial court basically does not need to make tax expenses on the local area. Local guards can pay taxes and manage local areas on their own, and even administrative powers are basically all taken.

Originally, the court also had a laissez-faire attitude towards Lingnan. Lingnan belongs to the territory of three disregards. As long as there is no major rebellion in the local area, the local garrisons will generally allow the matters requested by the local garrison to the court. This also forms a unique military administrative system for the local government - China.

To this day, there are five or six Lingnan military factions, each of which is a country.

These small countries are divided into "prefectures" based on local military factions. These "prefectures" are very small. Generally, there is only one big city with passes and towns. The population is only tens of thousands, just like a fortress. Local Han people need to be protected by these military factions, and they also need to pay taxes to maintain the operation of the military factions. Men serve as soldiers in wartime, and if they do not fight, they will serve as farmers. Local recruitment and food collection are all responsible for the supreme leader of the "prefecture".

The Shun Dynasty was only in Lingnan, and the system of government troops was implemented.

Liu Yu remembered the exchange conditions proposed by Liu Liniang when she helped Liu Yu arrest the rebellion party. The court wanted to execute the five major military factions in Jiangnan and their main generals. At that time, Liu Yu felt that Liu Liniang was not from the Central Plains, but from the ethnic minorities in Lingnan. Liu Yu even guessed that the reason why Liu Liniang helped the King of Huai was to use the power of the King of Huai to develop herself so that the minorities in Lingnan would no longer be oppressed by the Han Dynasty.

Liu Yu could understand the hatred of these ethnic minorities for the Han dynasty.

The imperial court occupied the fertile and flat land of Lingnan in the southern "prefectures". To make a living, ethnic minorities either surrendered to the "prefectures", paid heavy taxes, and had to serve labor, or could only migrate south to the mountains and isolate them from the outside world. In the territory of the "prefectures", the population was divided into several levels. The Han people were the highest and had privileges, and the Han soldiers were the most comfortable, just like the imperial guards in the palace, which were behind when they charged in the battle, while the minorities acted as slave soldiers like suicide squads. When they went to battle, their enemies were actually people of their tribes, and compatriots were slaughtering each other, which was also a very cruel thing.

In the "prefectures" in Lingnan, slavery was not prevented. Therefore, many ethnic minorities would sell themselves to the mansions as slaves and maids when they could not survive. They were oppressed by the Han people. Although the southern ethnic minorities have been resisting for nearly a hundred years, due to the scarcity of iron resources in the south and the difficulty of mining, and the lack of advanced iron smelting technology in the Central Plains, the weapons of ethnic minorities lag behind and have been at a disadvantage in the battle with the soldiers of various governments for a long time.

Although the southern ethnic minorities were nominally the people of the Dashun Dynasty, they had actually formed their own regimes, and the ethnic minorities and the Han people were also incompatible.

Liu Yu guessed that the attack on Su Yan's convoy this time was either the local government soldiers or the ethnic minorities in Lingnan. However, if it had to pass through the jurisdiction of the ambush and some barriers of the Lingnan ambush, even if it was done by the ethnic minorities in Lingnan, it would have nothing to do with the "Prefecture". Because Su Yan himself was to control the power of the various governments and become the "Southern King".

"I'm too hasty."

Liu Yu looked at the map and sighed, "If Lingnan was completely pacified before sending Su Yan, he would not be sent to the dead end. Liu Yu was also because the court had no resources to fight this battle, and there was no rebellion in the local area. Liu Yu thought of a stable solution to the problem of Lingnan in a few years, but now it seems that the problem of Lingnan has been put on the table. But the problem now is still-the court has no money.

Liu Yu couldn't think of how to fight this battle.

The Lingnan prefectures were actually under the rule of the court. The reason why Lingnan's unique military administrative system was formed was the result of the court's years of letting themselves go. The heads of the Lingnan prefectures did not do other things that were enemies with the court. If the imperial court wanted to pacify them, it meant making them an enemy, which was equivalent to causing trouble. If the imperial court sent troops to assist the government troops to pacify the ethnic minorities in Lingnan, it would be a no-name. Liu Yu did not want to push the various ethnic groups in Lingnan out of the country, making them hate the Han people even more.
