Chapter 545: The etiquette of the Yue family (1)

Liu Yu waited in the valley for another day. At this time, Xu Yuanfang's army surrounding the mountains did not withdraw, but instead increased the scope of patrol.

After receiving the news, Liu Yu thought about it. Liu Yu guessed that it was because Xu Yuanfang's army was missing Xu Yuanwei, the second-generation ancestor, and the disturbances taken by Liu Yu before that Xu Yuanli, who was responsible for leading the troops, would expand the scope of the inspection of the surrounding mountains.

Liu Yu also asked Lian Husheng to catch a periphery sentry to inquire, confirming Liu Yu's conjecture.

The fourth general of the Xu family disappeared.

The local military forces in Lingnan have family and sect characteristics. Xu Yuanli came to besiege Bai Yue, with the main purpose of revenge and anti-looting. At this time, Xu Yuanwei disappeared. Even if he successfully conquered Bai Yue, he would definitely be more guilty than merit when he went back. Therefore, Xu Yuanfang's army was not too fierce in attacking the mountain in the past two days. Xu Yuanli focused on finding Xu Yuanwei.

Liu Yu had a little calculation. In another day or two, Xu Yuanli's patrol scope would be expanded to the valley line. Liu Yu estimated it at this time. Logically speaking, after Qi Fang received the order, he would send Huo Bing to attack Kangsheng City as soon as possible according to Liu Yu's instructions. The news would probably be transmitted over the two days of May 29th or 30th. At that time, Xu Yuanfang chose to withdraw his troops or not, and he would also make a decision within these two days.

At dusk on the 29th, there was still no movement in Yetou Mountain. Liu Yu asked everyone to pack their clothes and retreat northward. At the same time, Liu Yu ordered Xu Yuanwei to take his eyes back to the foot of Yetou Mountain to release him. Lian Husheng was very puzzled, but Liu Yu's attitude was very firm.

Liu Yu's purpose was to let Xu Yuanwei take his words back and let Xu Yuanli and Xu Yuanfang know that the court army was moving south further.

In Liu Yu's opinion, Xu Yuanwei was greedy for life and fear of death. When he learned that the court army was going to start a large war against the south, he would take the news he received back to his brother as soon as possible, and Liu Yu also offered Xu Yuanwei conditions to go back to be an insider. Of course, Liu Yu knew that Xu Yuanwei would probably turn against him, and Liu Yu just said that this was a "decision from the upper level". Xu Yuanwei could escape and no one cared about anything else. After agreeing to Liu Yu's conditions, he was taken out of the valley. Liu Yu also quickly led people to chase the group of people who were evacuated in advance.

Liu Yu led his men to evacuate north for more than twenty miles before stopping. At this time, it was forty miles away from Yetou Mountain. Xu Yuan Fangdikui attacked Yetou Mountain and there were two thousand people in the sky. If what Xu Yuanwei said was true, it would be one thousand two. It was basically difficult to find a point within a radius of dozens of miles, and Liu Yu also took precautions. Here, Liu Yu felt that it was safe.

There was no fire in the camp that night. A group of people gathered together to have cold rice, and then each went into the tent or covered his body with a simple blanket and clothes to fall asleep. Because there were too many people, Duolin, who was about to come to meet her lover, gave up because she could not avoid the eyes and ears, and turned to accompany her two sisters.

The next morning, Liu Yu received a reward from the front line, saying that Xu Yuanfang's army, which was besieging Yetou Mountain, had evacuated.

When Liu Yu brought this news to Mi Er, a girl from Baiyue, Mi Er was sad for a companion who had just died. When she heard the news of Xu Yuanfang's withdrawal, she did not show much joy. A girl seemed to have grown up overnight and understood the consequences of impermanence and willfulness in the world.

"Take the body of your tribe and go back to the mountain." Liu Yu said in a half-command tone to Mier.

Mier calmed down and, with Duolin's support, accompanied the caravan and the Huang Yue people toward Yetou Mountain. In the afternoon, the group reached about ten miles below the mountain. Liu Yu did not go up the mountain, but asked Lian Husheng to take a few people up the mountain first and go to the mountain to see the reactions of the Baiyue people.

Mier and another Baiyue people were temporarily detained as hostages by Liu Yu, and even the purpose of going up the mountain was to "negotiate".

It was a war before, but now it involves diplomacy. Since Liu Yu knew that the Baiyue people have always been unfriendly to the Han people, he would not easily take risks.

While waiting for the reward of Lianhu Sheng, Duolin was very nervous and looked at Liu Yu from time to time. Because Liu Yu and Qu Ning sat together and talked, she didn't even have the courage to come. She didn't know whether Liu Yu was going to take her up the mountain or take her away. She didn't get a positive answer, so she was still worried.

Qu Ning didn't care at first, but when she discovered Duolin's abnormality, she left consciously. Duolin ran over quickly, and after a few steps, she gasped and looked at Liu Yu affectionately without saying anything.

"A sister, you may have to send your tribe members up the mountain in a while. If you separate from each other, don't think of them." Liu Yu smiled slightly.

"Where is my sister?"

Liu Yuxin said that this matter was a bit troublesome, and it was not wise to take two girls around ten years old on the road. After all, the road to Yizhou is very long and you need to hurry.

"Temporarily place them in Baiyue's village, and when we come back, we will pick them up and go together." Liu Yu said.

Duolin thought about it, but there was no better way. She also knew that it would be a burden to bring two sisters by her side. Finally, she nodded, and her face was still a little unhappy.

Liu Yu touched Duolin's head. At this time, the yellow hat on Duolin's head had been taken off. The woman from Yue family combed it up even though she was not married, tied it into a bun, and looked very beautiful with Duolin's little face.

Liu Yu and Duolin sat side by side. Liu Yu teased Duolin for a few words, and Duolin's face turned red. She stood up and said she was going to discuss with her clan members. At this time, Lian Husheng had already brought people back, and also brought a slim middle-aged man in his forties wearing a white square hat.

As soon as the man appeared, Mier came with his tribe members. Mier threw himself into the man's arms while crying and called out "Babe".

Only then did Liu Yu realize that this was Daqiu of the Baiyue tribe, that is, their Baiyue chief.

"Everyone, thank you for saving us Bai Yue. On behalf of Bai Yue's tribe, I would like to invite you to the mountain to visit." Bai Yue's Daqiu's name is Helu, and Helu is his surname. Among the Yue tribe, only the surname left is left after becoming Daqiu, because Daqiu is hereditary, which means that their clan leader will always be the same name.

The full name of Mier is Helumier, and Duolin's full name is Duomlin, and Duolin is Duolin's surname. When dealing with the Han family, whether it is the Yue family or other ethnic minorities in Lingnan, they all call themselves by their names, making people feel that they have names but no surnames. In fact, surnames are also very important among ethnic minorities. Even if there is a major disaster in a village, there are only a few people left, they insist on the same surname and not marriage.

As the head of the caravan, Liu Yu had a chat with He Lu. Liu Yu learned from He Lu that Xu Yuanfang's army had withdrawn last night, and it was very embarrassing. Their tribe members also went down the mountain to follow him. Now they knew that Xu Yuanfang's army had all returned dozens or hundreds of miles away and would not come back for the time being.

He Lu seemed very enthusiastic, but in Liu Yu's opinion, this person was a bit cunning, and his words made him feel a little worried. Faced with He Lu's invitation to go up the mountain, Liu Yu did not refuse because he also wanted to escort the Huang Yue people up the mountain.
