After Liu Zhao's troops began to launch harassing attacks on the remaining eleven cities, the imperial army began a large-scale harassment war in early August. This time, the troops were sent in large numbers and chaotic, and the troops were sent in a small-scale system, which was very inconsistent with the conventional routines of military tactics.

The court clearly bullied the remaining eleven cities, which belonged to three local forces with their own ulterior motives, and could not form effective contacts in itself. After being impacted by this scale, the eleven cities changed from three clusters to eleven points, and were completely divided into eleven lonely cities.

The court army seemed to be messy, but it had a strict marching route and a good response mechanism. You should know that such a patrol-style nuisance war is like a well-drawn marching route waiting for the enemy ambush. If effective communication and response are not made, the losses will be very heavy. Therefore, the court army is very cautious in sending troops, and the marching routes are constantly changing, reflecting each other. Any troops and horses must follow an effective marching route. If an accident occurs, they must support and cooperate with each other.

The problem that many generals under Liu Yu's tent were worried about was that they would be ambushed, which did not happen a few days after the war began. Even if it happened, it was a small-scale and was soon suppressed by the imperial army with its superiority of force.

After the three cities' joint defense system became eleven lonely cities, each city was not interested in fighting. They hoped to surrender earlier to save their lives. The biggest result of this harassing war was to dismantle the will of local forces to resist.

Then, there were chaos within the three forces. The lowly soldiers were in chaos because they could not get military pay. This turbulence gradually spread to the middle and upper levels. Because they were trapped in the lonely city, the generals in these places were all depressed, which made their resentment towards the upper levels deepen.

In a passive situation, many grievances will break out at the same time. The series of reactions brought by the court army's harassment war were unexpected by Liu Yu, the leader, beforehand.

Liu Yu was waiting for the outcome of this war in vain. The war reports of the eleven cities were also spread to him dozens of times a day. First, the sister-in-law of the Yang regime had disagreements with the eldest sister-in-law, then the brother-in-law and sister-in-law led troops to fight, and then the general below killed the prince of the Yang regime... With all kinds of news, there were things that Liu Yu was puzzled every day in these eleven cities. Even Liu Yu was a little confused about whether this was a war or a farce of fighting for power and profit!

Less than five days after the nuisance war began, Liu Yu had already received the demotion tables secretly sent by no less than six cities. Because of the chaos in the urban system, the masters of these cities also gave up their trust in the masters. They turned to move closer to the court to protect their identity and status.

But Liu Yu lacked interest in their prescriptions.

According to Liu Yu's idea, you will not surrender sooner or later. Now that internal and external troubles are intertwined, you will remember to surrender. If you absorb them, wouldn't it be a stone to shoot yourself in the foot? In addition, Liu Yu has a promise to Liu Liniang, that is, the heads of some local forces hated by ethnic minorities in southern Xinjiang will never tolerate them. Now Liu Liniang is his woman, and Liu Yu wants to gain the support of ethnic minorities, so he lacks basic trust in these local forces heads who are fickle in Qin and Chu.

The smooth nuisance war also resolved some of the grievances in Liu Yu's army. This was mainly a problem of soldiers' homesickness.

After the soldiers were away for a long time, the court army remained silent for a long time, or the small-scale war could not make achievements, which made them unable to see a way out. In this context, they would miss their relatives far away in the north, thinking of a peaceful and prosperous life. But after all, these are all bloody men, and the real man has the determination to wrap his body in the horse. This vigorous nuisance war started, and everyone was full of energy, and even the relatives in the family would be temporarily left behind.

Who doesn’t want to make some military achievements in the last battle to pacify the world so that their future life will be more stable?

Military achievements can not only be exchanged for rewards from gold and silver, but more importantly, they can obtain land. A few years ago, although the court had clear rewards and punishments, the intensity of rewards and punishments was definitely not as strong as Liu Yu said when he was in charge of military affairs. In the previous few battles, the court did not treat any rewards from meritorious personnel unfairly. Many soldiers at the bottom were gradually promoted through the accumulation of military achievements and obtained a large amount of wealth and land. With the guidance of pioneers, the latecomers became even more desperate.

Therefore, this disturbing battle inspired the imperial army's morale and united. However, the eleven lonely cities of local forces were distorted by the people's hearts.

Soon, Liu Yu's central army tent responded to the leaders of each city. The meaning was very simple. If you surrender unconditionally, the court would not make any promises. Everything should be opened to surrender in a defeated manner. At the same time, Liu Yu also made an ultimatum to destroy the city. Everything showed that the court was determined to capture the last eleven cities.

Liu Yu was very determined to pacify Lingnan, but in fact, Liu Yu didn't think about how to fight the last battle beautifully. Now it's not effective. If he turned around to attack the city, Liu Yu felt that the loss would be a bit great and felt a little distressed. He suddenly realized that he was a bit stingy, wanting not to accept surrender with conditions, but also wanting to get something for nothing. This is simply a self-contradictory thing.

But many things are unexpected.

Soon, the Yang regime was destroyed. This was the eighth day of the seventh month. Some of the masterminds of the Yang regime were actually killed on this day, and the body was hung on the city tower and corpses were stormed. Liu Yu was still surprised when he received the news, because all the previous information showed that the internal contradictions of the Yang regime were in the power struggle between the top leaders. Who would have thought that the officers below would rebel.

The next day, the gates of several cities of the Yang regime were unconditionally opened to the court army, and Liu Yu took a big advantage.

"It's better to have a tough attitude." When Liu Yu received the news, he couldn't help but smile and said to Liu Liniang, "Only in this way, people will be afraid of you and will do what you said."

Liu Liniang gave Liu Yu a blank look and said nothing. In her opinion, Liu Yu is sometimes easy to talk to, but this kind of easy to talk is obviously not manifested to the enemy. No one who offended Liu Yu in recent years will have a good ending, and many people will die without a place to die.

Liu Liniang immediately thought of someone, and she was shocked, and she became a little afraid of Liu Yu.

It's Su Yan.

In fact, Su Yan's whereabouts are still a mystery. People from all sides do not know Su Yan's whereabouts. They only know what happened afterwards by some mysterious people. No one knows what happened. This also includes the group of mysterious people who fought with Huo Bing, Hua Ji'an and Zhang Wuzhu for several months. Who are they? It is still a mystery.

Before Liu Yu went south, he believed that this group of mysterious armed forces was a coalition of southern ethnic minorities and local forces. After he went south, Liu Yu realized that this was a mistake. Because Lingnan, whether it was local forces or ethnic minority armed forces, had no ability, and could make Huo Bing, who was not afraid of heaven and earth, be trapped in Yuzhou City for several months and unable to come out.

Who was fighting against the court in the south? Liu Yu also discussed with Liu Liniang. Liu Liniang thought it was Su Zhe's man, but Liu Yu did not express his opinion. This made Liu Liniang feel that Liu Yu was cultivating his own power, and those so-called mysterious arms were just a elite force of Liu Yu, who was released to confuse the public.

In fact, Liu Yu knew nothing about this. However, Liu Liniang became a little more awe of Liu Yu, and sometimes even treated Liu Yu as an uncrowned emperor.

With the development of the Lingnan war, the Yang regime was destroyed, and the Li and Lu families were left unable to sit still. The internal troubles had already made them exhausted to deal with it. It was difficult for them to stop the people under their command to rebel, especially those cities that were not within their reach. The continuous disturbance of the imperial army made the defenders in the city all the same soldiers and did not dare to slack off.

Liu Yu's attitude of not accepting surrender made the city guards very anxious. Sooner or later, they would have to be buried with the city. This wild way that Liu Yu used has forced them to a dead end. He didn't have the courage to commit suicide, so he had to use the most rogue move.

Two of the last seven cities soon surrendered to the court. The court army did not siege the city and opened the city gate themselves, as if they opened the city gate and wrote a welcome message - welcome. The court army was unwilling to go in, so they invited the court army to go in.

Liu Yu was also helpless about this. He wanted to fight hard in this battle, but he didn't play with you anymore. Can he not accept it after opening the city?

However, Liu Yu immediately ordered that even if the city was opened to surrender, the court army would "hold accountability" the generals and administrative officials inside and investigate some of the previous illegal acts.

Liu Yu's military order was a high-sounding one. In fact, the meaning was very simple. It was that the surrendered city, the officials and generals in it were taken down and questioned, waiting for the court to be defeated. Liu Yu handed over the power of the military law office and then to Liu Liniang.

Isn’t Liu Liniang not wanting to accept these people surrender? What Liu Yu did was very simple, just handing over these people to Liu Liniang for disposal. Liu Liniang would kill him if he wanted to, and let him go if he wanted to, and let him decide.

This power is obviously too great, and even the generals below have some complaints. After all, it is a law since ancient times that they open the city and surrender. Now that people honestly open the city, you want to kill others. This is obviously unreasonable, just like the barbarian.

Liu Liniang knew the right amount. She did not make Liu Yu embarrassed, and she did not really vent her anger with these shrimp soldiers and crab generals. Finally, Liu Liniang expressed the position of all ethnic groups in public at the military meeting, that is, to pardon all except the leader. Liu Yu also agreed with her statement.

As a result, the promise was just passed to the last five cities that were stubbornly resisting, and a very lively thing happened immediately. Li and the political leaders of the Lu family were rebelled overnight by soldiers under their command. Then the five cities opened the gates without hesitation to surrender.

These generals of the land creed can finally surrender with peace of mind. We have been waiting for too long this day. (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
