The largest bandit leader died, and the remaining barbarian soldiers were all a group of mobs, so they could only be slaughtered by others.

After Guan Yu and others led their troops back, everyone turned against each other.

After the war, the generals were completely convinced.

As a group of simple-minded and well-developed men, they also wanted to lead troops like Cao Peng and make a plan to play with the enemy who could applaud the enemy with only a strategy.

So they all surrounded Cao Peng with great sincerity, intending to ask Cao Peng to give them an explanation.

Looking at everyone's curious baby, they were waiting for themselves to reveal the secret of victory this time.

Cao Peng also spoke to satisfy everyone's curiosity, and there was nothing wrong with it.

"To be honest, it was a bit unexpected to force me to this level."

Everyone did not take this sentence to heart, it was just a humility.

After all, Cao Peng is the winner now, and he will say whatever he says.

"If the ambush was set up in the woods before, the enemy would definitely notice it, so I deliberately set up ambush for the purpose of making them suspicious."

"I have said before that this Pan Snake Valley is clearly a natural trap. As long as our army lures them into this trap, we can naturally start a massacre.

Finally, I came with plenty of gunpowder this time to conquer the Southern Barbarians.”

Chen Qun interrupted, "General, this time the gunpowder seems to be different from washing dishes."

Seeing this, Cao Peng smiled at him with approval.

"That's right, this time the gunpowder was specially transformed by my uncle."

Everyone showed a clear expression when Cao Peng explained this. Who doesn’t know how powerful Huang Yueying is?

Cao Peng had asked Huang Yueying to study this secret weapon long before he went to war.

This is made of gunpowder and bamboo.

Nine sections of gunpowder are separated in a piece of bamboo. Once it explodes, the power generated will be stacked layer by layer.

Cao Peng buried the bamboo containing gunpowder deep underground again, which is how landmines are used.

Everyone finally understood.

Although the vine armored soldiers were invulnerable to swords and guns, they were afraid of fire. Cao Peng happened to take advantage of this and restrained the vine armored soldiers to death.

"Those who benefit water will not be beneficial to fire. The general's strategy this time can be passed down for a lifetime."

Chen Qun couldn't help but exclaim.

Cao Peng smiled, but said, "Those vine armored soldiers are so powerful, it's a pity that most of the fire burned, and those who still survived must not be harmed."

Everyone nodded. If the vine armored soldiers could be tamed, it would be a great help.

Cao Peng said: "Since the war in the south is settled, it's time for us to go back next."

Cao Peng plans to go back, so there is a problem.

There must be a reliable person here to guard himself.

This person must be loyal, and also need to understand the military strategy. He also needs to know how to implement his policies towards the Southern Barbarians.

Chen Qun has the longest time to be loyal and reliable, and is the most capable of governing civil affairs.

However, the war that I foreseeed was definitely inseparable from group service.

So, after thinking about it, Cao Peng decided to leave Fazheng to govern the southern barbarians.

Moreover, he had to leave 10,000 to 30,000 troops to be ruled by the orthodox leader of the Fa.

"General, should you think about this again?" someone asked.

Cao Peng directly rejected: "No need to think about it anymore. I have decided to stop talking about this matter,"

The so-called "do not use someone to doubt someone," and "do not use someone to doubt someone. Since Cao Peng decided to believe in Fazheng, he naturally had to delegate power to him.

Fa Zheng was very moved. He walked out and fell to his knees, saying to Cao Peng: "General, I have to repay you if I trust me so much!"

"I am just myself, I'm afraid I will let down the general's entrustedness, and I need another person."

Cao Peng asked, "Who?"

Fa Zheng replied: "Shi Shi Fei Yi!"

Cao Peng nodded, "Okay, I'll send this person here to be your deputy."

Cao Peng agreed so easily, which surprised Fa Zheng.

It seems that he underestimated Cao Peng's pattern after all.

Of course, he didn't know that Cao Peng agreed to appoint Fei Yi because Cao Peng knew that this person could be circulated in history books and naturally had certain abilities.

Even if everything is arranged, I am very clear about it, and Cao Peng wants to give some advice.

Cao Peng reminded: "This place is not a bad person, but a mess. First, you need to take care of the food here. Second, this time the battle and killing is too heavy, the barbarians will definitely be dissatisfied, and they are afraid they will fight again."

Fa Zheng bowed and said, "Please rest assured that if the barbarians abide by the education, then they will be safe. If these barbarians do not abide by the rules, then I will let them know how powerful our army is."

Cao Peng smiled, of course he was relieved.

Fa Zheng had a strange plan and understood military affairs, and Fei Yi was good at internal political affairs. The two of them worked hard together to ensure that the south could be pacified and even become a supply to the Sichuan Army.

Moreover, for Fa Zheng, the mess that others look down on is just right for him, and he was just trying to make some achievements with this place.

He knew that Cao Peng attached great importance to this uncivilized southern barbarian land, so he was willing to take a more difficult path here than other officials.

As long as you can achieve results, all this effort is worth it.

...

Just before he planned to go back, Guan Yu came here to ask for instructions in person.

"General, everything is ready. Should I set off immediately?"

At this time, Cao Peng was talking to Chen Qun.

Cao Peng said: "This time on the expedition, some soldiers unfortunately died here. After returning, they comforted their families."

This sentence is said to Chen Qun beside him. He should not let the heroes shed blood and feel cold.

"Chang Yun, when you go back, let all the soldiers wait for a while on the banks of Lushui!"

"An altar is set up there, burn incense and pray!"

Guan Yu took the order and left, and Cao Peng rewarded the three armies.

Two days later, the army slowly retreated.

This time, Cao Peng also took away pearls and gold, precious medicinal materials, plowing oxen and fighting horses from the southern desert.

And, the beauty Zhurong...

When passing by a river on the junction of Xichuan, Cao Peng asked all the soldiers to stop.

"This is the burial place for those brothers who have been here with us!" Cao Peng said in a deep tone.

The long river in front of him is vast and boundless, and he remembers the dead soldiers in great detail.
