Datang: Acting as a celestial mystery at the beginning

As soon as Li Yi'an and the others arrived outside the Chengdu mansion, they saw Li Xiaogong and others waiting here to welcome them.

In addition to them, there are also some officials from the Chengdu government who had to show up when they heard that the new chief was coming.

"gentlemen!"

Li Xiaogong acted a little tired, maybe because of being tormented by the people in the southwest, and too many things recently, said: "Finally waited for you to come."

As long as Li Yi'an came, they could breathe a sigh of relief.

The two sides chatted politely next to the city gate for a while, then Li Xiaogong invited Li Yian to enter the city, Su Dingfang and others led the soldiers and followed a lieutenant general to the barracks.

When they arrived at the government office, Li Yi'an asked, "How are the natives in the south?"

"I joined forces with Gongjin, and the rebels have been suppressed. At present, Gongjin is still staying in Lujin Pass in Yaozhou to prevent accidents. I will go back to Yizhou first and wait for your arrival."

Li Xiaogong didn't complain about the system of exiled officials, probably because he knew he was wrong, and said: "I will return to Chang'an early tomorrow morning, and I will leave this place to the master."

Li Yi'an said with shame: "I was the one who implicated General Li. I didn't make a clear list of exile officials, tweet orders, pilot promotions, etc., which led to General Li's loss."

Mentioning this, Li Xiaogong shook his head and said: "Actually, it's still my fault, but Mr. is here, Jiannan can be safe."

Next, he handed over all the military power of Jiannan Road to Li Yi'an, and Zhao Jin, the Shaoyin of Chengdu Mansion, brought him into the official residence.

"Li Shijun, if you need anything, you can come to me anytime!"

After Zhao Jin finished speaking, he didn't bother anymore. The name of the governor in Tang Dynasty was envoy.

Of course, he had heard about Li Yi'an's identity and status, as well as the eldest Sun Chong's sons, so he had to be more respectful.

Fu Ling hurriedly packed their luggage, made their beds and so on, fully utilizing the usefulness of a personal servant girl.

Zhou Nan felt that her status as a close maid was threatened again, so she hurriedly dragged Xiao Shuozhen to work.

When it was almost time for dinner, Zhao Jin came again, brought them something to eat, and served them attentively.

When he came to Yizhou from Chang'an, he was worried that there would be problems such as acclimatization to the soil and water. Li Yi'an also brought a lot of herbal medicines. After taking them, the situation was all relieved.

"Sir, we are in Yizhou now, what should we do next?"

Chang Sunchong asked: "I just asked Zhao Shaoyin to find out clearly that the rebellious people in the south have been calmed down, but there are still rebels fleeing in the mountains and forests to fight against General Zhang who is still in Lujin Pass in Yaozhou. The grace order and official transfer system are meant to weaken the chiefs’ control over the natives and their occupation of the land, which is not easy to do.”

Yizhou is in the middle of Shu, and no one here will make trouble, but the southern part of Jiannan Road, which is the northern part of Yunnan in later generations, is where they make trouble.

Li Yi'an thought for a moment, then said: "Put down the thieves first, and then I will make other arrangements. Three days later, we will go to Lujin Pass to meet General Zhang. As for how to fight, I haven't figured it out yet."

The terrain of the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau is complex, especially for ancient people, there are still many uninhabited areas.

If you don't know the terrain and rush in, you don't need to fight the rebels. They may not be able to get out and die in the deep mountains.

"I think it's not easy to fight!"

Yuchi Baolin came over and said, "Sir, you haven't been to a war yet, maybe you don't know how to fight a war."

"Has Pauline forgotten the sand table?"

Li Dejian said: "Mr. is like this. It should be a strategic plan to win a thousand miles away. In the past, when the Turks came to the north bank of the Weishui River, it was Mr. who used tricks to scare them away!"

Cheng Chumo said approvingly: "Mr. has never been to the battlefield, but there is General Su, and us. I am definitely the first to fight with them."

"You are talking so loudly now, if you really want to fight the traitors, you should not be weak."

Li Yian laughed.

"Who do you look down upon, sir?"

As soon as these words came out, they immediately jumped up and directly objected.

The next morning, beside the city gate of Chengdu Prefecture.

Li Yi'an sent Li Xiaogong away, and officially became the governor of Yizhou and the general manager of the Jiannan Road march.

"I'm going to the barracks, please Zhao Shaoyin lead the way!"

Li Yian said again.

They are newcomers and are not familiar with many places in Yizhou.

"Emissary Li, this way please!"

Zhao Jin said politely.

Jiannan Road's military camp in Yizhou is not far away, and soon arrived at the place, and the scale here is not too big.

"Zhao Shaoyin, how many soldiers and horses are there in Yizhou?"

Li Yian asked.

"There are more than 8000 people here, and another 5000 people are waiting at Lujin Pass."

Zhao Jin said: "We have about 5 troops in Jiannan Road, and Yizhou has the most soldiers. However, we have lost a lot of battles and haven't recruited them yet."

"Ding Fang, how many people do you think will be needed to fight this battle?"

Li Yian turned around and asked.

Su Dingfang did not answer this question first, but asked Zhao Jin, "Does Zhao Shaoyin have a military map of Jiannan Road?"

"Have!"

Zhao Jin said: "This was sent by the imperial court at the beginning of the year. I don't know how detailed the map is. Any mountains, rivers, lakes, mountains and terrain on it are readily available."

Li Yi'an knew that the map he was talking about was obtained by himself from the system, and the one he gave to Li Shimin in the end has now spread throughout the Tang government.

After a while, Zhao Jin took out the map and spread it out on the desk.

Su Dingfang looked at it for a while, then asked: "Where are those traitors probably?"

"The current rebel team, there are five teams that continue to make trouble, in order to avoid the encirclement and suppression, they are separated in these places!"

Zhao Jin pointed out five locations on the map, and said: "Among them, the most powerful rebels are hiding in the northern part of Luo Nuo State, on the mountains near Tubo. The total number of all rebels is about [-]."

Li Yi'an looked in the direction he pointed, and that Luo Nuo State was probably near Erhai Lake in later generations.

The remaining anti-thief teams, some were near the Jinsha River, and some were near the Lushui River. According to their distribution, they probably followed the southern border of Jiannan Road and then extended to the southwest.

Because there is Tubo next to them, if they lose the enemy, they can run to Tubo, and the Tang army dare not rush after them.

"The rebels are concentrated in one place, as long as we can overcome the terrain, it is not difficult."

Su Lie began to show his military talent, and continued: "The enemy only has 1 people. Although they have an advantage in terms of location, it happens to be their disadvantage. It's almost winter. Although I don't know how the temperature is in the southwest, they Hiding in the deep mountains, and still under this environment, it is easy to cause a shortage of supplies. Although there are many people, the force may not be too strong, so only [-] people are needed, and I can take down the rebels."

After hearing this, Xue Li echoed, "I think only 1 people are needed."

"There are 8000 people in Yizhou, I will take them all away."

Li Yi'an thought for a moment, then continued: "Including General Zhang's 5000 people, the total is [-], a little more in case of accidents."

"Dingfang, you first order your soldiers and horses. At this time the day after tomorrow, we will set off southward and go to Lujin Pass first."

"Yes!"

Su Lie nodded and said.
