Chapter 800 Zhao Wang Liu Amnesty and "Friendly Negotiation"

Originally, these rebels felt that they could make a fortune in the collective farm, and that the collective farm was their big granary, but who would have thought that they would hit the iron plate like this.

A group of people smashed their heads on the iron board.

The self-defense forces in the collective farms are not vegetarians. Some representatives of the collective farms saw that the number of invading enemies was relatively small, and deliberately let them in, closed the door and beat the dogs.

In this way, some rebel squads of 50 to [-] people were completely wiped out by the Self-Defense Forces composed of hundreds of people in the collective farm.

After a close-door annihilation campaign, the rebels would often be killed by a dozen or 20 people, while the self-defense teams of the collective farms generally only had single-digit casualties, and deaths in battle were relatively rare.

The more outstanding results occurred in Zhao State. A rebel team of more than 100 people wanted to go to a collective farm to fight the autumn wind. The representative of the collective farm set a trap and got into the pocket formation. Annihilate this rebel squad entirely.

More than 30 people were killed in the rebel squad, but only one member of the farm self-defense team sprained his foot because he ran too fast, and there were no other casualties.

Because of the outstanding performance of the collective farm, the rebel army's siege of the city brought great harm to the city, but the secondary disasters it brought were not as great as imagined. When the wave of rebellion hit the collective farm, it was abruptly contained Living.

After all, this wave of rebellion failed to harm the basic agricultural market in southern Jizhou.

This has to be said to be a surprise for the court, and also for Xu Huang.

Xu Huang originally thought that the southern part of Jizhou must be full of wars and chaos, but after he led his army into Wei County and collected various information, he realized that the situation was not as bad as he thought.

The city was indeed breached a lot, and many rebels also stormed around the city, but the surrounding secondary disasters were contained, and the scattered rebel teams were killed by the self-defense teams of the collective farms, making the rebels The army just entrenched near the city and failed to develop smoothly to the surrounding areas.

Moreover, due to the active performance of the collective farm self-defense teams, the rebels in the various counties also lack direct contact, and it is difficult to achieve coordinated operations. Each of them has fallen into a stalemate in strategy, and has not been able to further expand the results of the war and fail to further increase the strength of the rebels. power.

The peasants in the collective farms believed in the imperial court more than they believed in the nonsense of these landlords and lords, and would not help them. Although they were not further organized by the government, their spontaneous battle to defend their homeland had already helped the imperial court a lot.

Even some courageous farm representatives who want to do meritorious service will send people out to investigate, and after discovering the traces of the rebels, they will lead a team to carry out a sneak attack. The transport team brought great trouble to the rebels' logistical supplies, making it impossible for the rebels who surrounded the city on the front line to fight with all their strength.

So when Xu Huang brought the army to Wei County to participate in the war, although the number of Wei County rebels he faced was large, there were more than 3 people, but the fighting situation and situation were very bad.

On the way leading the troops to the north, Xu Huang had already issued a general order, requiring the soldiers of the three counties in the northern Jizhou who had a high degree of acceptance of the Dutian order to obey the order and go south together to help in the battle.

There are 8000 to [-] soldiers in Changshan, Zhongshan, and Hejian combined. Although they are still not at full strength, they still have combat effectiveness.

Xu Huang asked the troops of the counties of the Three Kingdoms to act separately. The soldiers of the counties of Changshan went south to the state of Zhao to assist in the battle, while the soldiers of the counties of Zhongshan and Hejian joined forces and went south to Anping.

Xu Huang himself first quelled the rebellion in Wei County, and then went north to Zhao Guoguo and Changshan Guojun's national soldiers to quell the Zhao country's rebellion together with Zhao Guojun's national soldiers, and then went eastward together to Julu County and Anping State to quell the rebellion.

After the arrangement was made, Xu Huang had nothing to worry about, so he directly sent his generals to lead the cavalry to attack, cut off the logistics of the rebels in Wei County, and divided their troops to destroy their lair.

The Huben army first operated swiftly against the old nest, and then led the troops to the battlefield in Yecheng to face off with the main force of the rebel army.

The main force of the rebel army was cut off by the Han army because of the logistics, so there was only five days of food left on the front line. When the food was insufficient, the rebel army was shaken and deserted, and the threat to Yecheng was greatly reduced.

The leader of the rebel army in Wei County is the original Jizhou Biejia Tian Yong. After he learned that the logistics was cut off by the Han army, he was shocked and sent people back to rescue the logistics. Xu Huang from Yecheng, the two sides fought an encounter.

Then the rebels were wiped out.

Xu Huang continued to lead the army and arrived near Yecheng on June 27, the first year of Zhenguan. He built a military camp near Yecheng and continued to send people forward to observe the movements of the rebels.

Tian Yong was a little nervous when he heard that the Han army had arrived, and he became even more nervous when he heard the bugle of "Hu Benjun" on the Han army flag.

"The main general of the Huben army is Xu Huang himself. Xu Huang has come in person. Xu Huang's troops are calm and steady. He is one of the important generals that Liu Bei trusts very much. It is difficult to deal with. We must be careful! Don't rush forward!"

Tian Yong knew that Xu Huang was powerful, but others didn't. Out of fear that the logistics would be cut off, they thought it was necessary to gather the main force to get through the logistics channel, otherwise they would be flanked by the invading Han army and the defenders of Yecheng. more dangerous.

After they further learned that the invading Han army was only 1 people, they relaxed their vigilance. They felt that 3 people had the advantage against 1 people.

So many people advocated that the army press up, defeat Xu Huang's troops, open up the logistics channel, and then turn around to intimidate Yecheng, let the defenders of Yecheng despair, surrender in Kaesong, and further deter the court, let the court compromise, and sell the benefits .

Tian Yong felt that this was too risky, and strongly opposed it, thinking that the possibility of defeating the regular Han army in the field was relatively low, and he should use the current situation to stick to it and attract the Han army to attack, and he was in a defensive position.

However, too many people feel that the chances of continuing to besiege Yecheng are too small, and Yecheng is well-defended. They continue to fight for a long time, and the logistics cannot be sustained. In a few days, everyone will drink the northwest wind, and still defend?
Although everyone is not short of money and food, they don't want the loss in one battle to be greater than the tax quota for 20 or [-] years.

Tian Yong couldn't stop the crowd's request, so he was forced to agree, so he personally led the troops to face Xu Huang, and Xu Huang's troops confronted him head-on. .

It is indeed quite fierce, because there are more than 4 people on the battlefield, with iron cavalry crisscrossing and soldiers roaring. It is indeed very fierce, but to be honest, the Han army may not think it is really that fierce. .

It may take less than half an hour for the Han army to go all out to fight the opponent, and then the front army of the rebel army was defeated by the front army of the Han army, crying and running back.

The collapse of the front army led to the collapse of the middle army, the collapse of the middle army led to the collapse of the rear army, and then the rebel army collapsed by itself, which was tantamount to self-destruct.

It seems that Tian Yong also set up a supervising team to prevent the collapse and soldiers from escaping, but the supervising team's knives were cut off, and they were all crushed to the ground and trampled to death.

Obviously, in their eyes, the combat effectiveness of the Han army is far stronger than that of the supervisor team.

After less than an hour of hand-to-hand combat, even before Xu Huang ordered the cavalry to outflank the rear of the rebel army, the rebel army had almost collapsed, and there were fleeing rebel soldiers all over the mountains and plains.

Xu Huang thought that Tian Yong really had some ability, and he wanted to keep the cavalry as the last trump card, in case the opponent had a backup player or something, but in the end the whole army collapsed and there was no backup, Xu Huang shook his head, Order the cavalry to attack, outflank the opponent's retreat, and eat the opponent in one go.

1 people encircling 3 people is a rare spectacle on the battlefield, but in this place, at this moment, it really fits the situation.

On the main rebel side, except for a small part of the former army and some of the soldiers protecting the gentlemen in the middle army who are fully armed or even armored, most of them are not wearing armor, or just wearing simple light armor or leather armor.

There are many kinds of weapons and different lengths. Regular army weapons such as ring-shoulders and spears do not account for a high proportion. Farm tools account for a large part, and wooden sticks and wooden guns also have a large part. They belong to the hodgepodge of weapons in the classical era.

This kind of equipment can fight against the Han army for four, five, and 10 minutes, thanks to Xu Huang's caution. He didn't press the whole army at the beginning, but carefully tested the fighting power and fighting will of the rebel army, and waited for him to find out. After the rebel army was indeed crippled, some time has passed.

But the result was good, the rebel army was wiped out, not many people escaped, and not many people were killed, most of them were captured by the Han army, including Tian Yong, the entire leadership of the rebel army in Wei County Be served in one pot.

Afterwards, the siege of Yecheng was lifted, and Yecheng was restored to safety. Qiao Mao, with a face full of shame, expressed his gratitude to Xu Huang together with Wei Jun's prefect.

As for the captured Tian Yong, Qiao Mao drew his sword directly in front of Xu Huang. If Xu Huang hadn't stopped him, Qiao Mao would have almost killed Tian Yong.

"I used the bus to ask you to be the other driver. I respect you very much. There is no shortage of various cares. I attach great importance to your opinions. In the end, you will repay me by besieging the city with an army?!"

Tian Yong lowered his head and said nothing, Qiao Mao became even more angry, blushed, and raised his knife to kill Tian Yong.

Xu Huang stopped him.

"Ordinary people will be killed, but he is Jizhou don't drive, and he has a high status. He can't be killed casually. He will be sent to Luoyang for trial. It is also a spoil of war for our army. Please calm down, Qiao Shijun, don't get angry. .”

Xu Huang tried to stop him, but Qiao Mao had no choice.

He felt that he, the governor of the state, had done his best. There was such a big disturbance in Jizhou, and Jizhou Biejia who was next to him actually became the leader of the rebellion in Jizhou. An unknown person could drive him into the bottomless abyss. What political future is there?
He was not the Liu Bei back then, even if he was backstabbed by Gongsun Zan, but with his own ability, he used more than 70 captives to turn the situation around and let him successfully overcome the crisis of trust.

With a feeling of sorrow, Qiao Mao sighed deeply, and started to write the resignation form.

The pacification of Wei Jun was just the beginning of this war, and then Xu Huang led the army into Zhao Guo.

Compared with the situation in Wei County, the situation in Zhao State is actually worse. This bad situation is not because of the bad situation of the war, but because of the bad political situation.

Because the current king of Zhao, Liu Amnesty, was dissatisfied with Liu Bei's order to save the land, he even publicly shouted the slogan of asking the court to think twice and asking Zhao Guoxiang to open the gate of Handan and "friendly negotiation" with the rebels outside the city, openly opposing the will of the court.

He thinks that it is meaningless to fight like this. After all, this matter is the chaos caused by the policy of the imperial court. The imperial court needs people in charge, and the responsibility should not lie with the local government. wishes.

In a word - open the door!
So the rebels outside the city were overjoyed. A group of original officials and powerful landlords publicly responded to the slogan of Zhao Wang Liu Amnesty. Negotiate".

Of course, it is impossible for Fuqian to open the city gate.

He is very clear about the current situation, and he also realizes what Zhao Wang Liu Amnesty is thinking. He knows that once he opens the city gate, political life and biological life will come to an end, and the Fu family will almost be finished in the Third Reich.

So he would rather die by himself than open the city gate and do wrong things.

But Zhao Wang Liu Amnesty really didn't just shout slogans and do nothing. This guy seemed to have made up his mind to fight against Liu Bei.

When the rebels raided Handan City, Liu She also sent people to cooperate with the rebels inside and outside. Thanks to the news in advance, Sun Xiang, the captain of the Guobing of Zhao Guojun, closed the city gate urgently, and led people to surround and kill the rebels sent by Liu She. , and then dispatched troops to surround Zhao Wangfu as a deterrent, which barely stabilized the situation in Handan City.

Even so, the news that Zhao Wang Liu She publicly opposed the Dutian Order had a very significant impact on the political situation in Handan City, and some officials who originally wanted to obey the Dutian Order began to waver.

They felt that Zhao Wang Liu She, as the clan, would oppose Du Tian Ling, and such a high-status person would be dissatisfied, so in such an uncertain situation, is it really necessary for them to stand by Liu Bei's side?
If everyone really succeeded in shaking Liu Bei's will, wouldn't it be good to pay less money?
As a result, more and more voices demanded that Fuqian and Sun Xiang withdraw the soldiers and horses that surrounded Zhao Wangfu, open the city gates and negotiate peace with the rebels, and stop doing unnecessary resistance. pressure.

Fuqian has no allies in such an attack, and the most reliable person around him is Sun Xiang, the commander of the army.

Sun Xiang was determined and had no intention of compromising. Not only did he not withdraw the manpower that surrounded Zhao Wangfu, he even added some manpower, and even launched a few symbolic feints to intimidate Zhao Wang Liu She who was about to move around in the mansion, and by the way deterred the city. the opposition.

He is loyal to Liu Bei and will never give in to these bastards in the city, but he only has himself, and the help that Fuqian can provide him is relatively limited.

Fu Qian's governance is relatively soft, and his character is relatively weak. He cannot deter his subordinates, nor can he deter Zhao Wang Liu She.

When the city was in chaos, he personally went out to persuade the opposition to calm down, but achieved relatively little success. As a result, the situation in the city became worse and worse, which could only be maintained by the use of force by more than 2000 county soldiers.

Even so, Handan City is also full of dangers.

For more than half a month, the soldiers of the county and the state guarded the city. Every day, dozens of hundreds of people were injured or died in battle.

Then the casualties were even greater.

Seeing that Handan supported him, he couldn't hold on anymore.

And just the day before Xu Huang led the troops to Handan, there was an assassination attempt against Sun Xiang in the city, but it was unsuccessful.

The assassin was caught by Sun Xiang's subordinates desperately, and they wanted to interrogate who sent him. Unfortunately, the assassin was a dead man, and he committed suicide by taking poison after being caught.

It is also impossible to know who shot to assassinate Sun Xiang.

But it doesn't matter, because Xu Huang came the next day, and wiped out all the rebels outside Handan City on the third day.
