When Qiu Rui heard the news of the grain base, he ordered the drums to gather and summon the generals to come to discuss.

Listened to the news.

Several generals were gearing up and asked the leaders to raid the granary and burn the grain and grass of the Jingzhou army.

But Qiu Rui frowned and didn't speak.

He was not satisfied.

Through this use of troops, he found that few of these generals under him could use their brains to fight.

Although his nephew Liu Wen performed well, he would always fool around from time to time, and he would send troops without listening to the command.

This made Qiu Rui feel like there was no successor to the Great Sui.

He glanced at the generals and said slowly: "Once the granary is burned and the more than 300,000 troops have no food, what will the Jingzhou rebels do?" ”

Without waiting for everyone to answer, Qiu Rui said to himself: "There is only one way: to rob from nearby states and counties." The food in Nanyang, Xiyang, and Shangluo counties is definitely not enough, and more places will be contacted. At that time, there will be millions of people who will delay spring ploughing because of this. ”

At that time, the people did not have enough clothes and food, so they could only rebel with them. And these rebels will also cause a catastrophe, afraid that the emperor will not pardon them, and from then on they will be united and iron-hearted to resist the court. Because only when Yang Liang ascends the throne will they change from sinners to successful ministers......"

After Qiu Rui finished speaking, he looked at the generals: "Tell me, what should you do then?" ”

There was silence in the tent.

Including Liu Wen, no one thought so thoughtfully.

One by one, they bowed their heads and stopped talking.

For these elm heads, Qiu Rui didn't bother to preach.

He directly sent a pair of men and horses to feint to attack the Jingzhou army's grain stronghold. He also asked Liu Wen and the three generals to lead an army to ambush along the road and sneak attack the other party's reinforcements.

It didn't take long for all the soldiers and horses of the five routes to leave Wuguan......

The next situation is the same as Qiu Rui's design.

The stronghold of Tunliang was attacked, and the defenders there hurriedly sent people to ask for help from Yang Liang, the king of Chu.

Yang Liang sent Xiongkuohai to lead 30,000 troops to guard the grain. As a result, when the soldiers reached the halfway point, Liu Wen led 3,000 men and horses to kill from the oblique spurs and cut off the troops and horses.

Xiong Kuohai was not good at leading troops to fight, and when he encountered this situation, he didn't know what to do, so he could only lead people to fight.

It can be seen that the other party is leading the troops Liu Wen, and he fled in a panic, and he didn't know where to go.

At the same time, Qiu Rui's other team of people and horses that had been pre-arranged also came from three directions.

The Jingzhou rebels had no main general, and were quickly dispersed by Liu Wen, and those deserters were intercepted by the other three people, so they could only abandon their troops and surrender.

Liu Wen and the three generals happily returned with nearly 30,000 prisoners.

And Liu Wen is happy with more than one thing.

In addition to another meritorious service, a side quest has finally been completed.

Side Mission 2: Turning Stones into Gold (Completed.) Rewards: Exchange value of 17,500 points, 2 pears of the highest grade, 4 pears of the medium grade)

【Top-grade pear】

System recovery price: 45,000 points of exchange value.

It can enhance memory, strengthen the body, and prolong life.

Precautions: The energy of the fairy fruit is relatively domineering, and ordinary people can't bear it; It is better to take it with the pit for better results; It is effective to take only one tablet.

The recovery price is 35,000, and the original value is more than 130,000.

Although I don't know how effective this pear is, its value is higher than Li Yuanba's template card, and it seems to be a really good thing!

Let's look at another one.

【Medium Grade Pear】

System recovery price: 11,600 points.

Ordinary people can take it, it can stay beautiful and lightweight, invigorate blood circulation, strengthen muscles and bones, and prolong life.

This time it was very rewarding.

Liu Wenmeizi's heart calculated: "The top grade, only me and my wife can take it, it is enough." This is a medium-grade one, my mother has one, and there are 3 left...... Yumei's wife and the little county lord have all taken strong pills, and they can't favor one over the other, just one each for Xiaochi, Meiniang's wife, and Xuanxuan's wife......

……

When Liu Wen was thinking about how to divide the fruits, Xiong Kuohai was also reflecting on his own actions.

He was originally a straightforward man, bent on doing the right thing for heaven and helping the poor people who were suffering from it, and he was unwilling to go along with corrupt officials and corrupt officials.

Through this cooperation, he saw the true face of the Wu family.

After the defeat, Xiong Kuohai felt uncomfortable.

He found a quiet place, lay down on the dirt slope, and looked at the sky in distraction.

The heart says:

That Wu Tianxi is not a good person, he said well before, do something for the people, but what he is doing now is not for himself to be unrestrained, and he still wants to be promoted and make a fortune.

Also, people are the children of official eunuchs, can they be the same as my bitter background?

Get! Count me blind to the sea, and from now on, I will go my own way with them.

After figuring it out, Xiongkuohai got on the wind chasing horse very freely and returned to Jinding Taihang Mountain......

……

The defeat of the majestic sea gave the Nanyang rebels a heavy blow.

Since the beginning of the army, not only has it not been able to get any bargains, but the army has been sluggish, and the two main generals have lost more than 100,000 horses.

This made many middle- and lower-level officials realize that Yang Liang, the king of Chu, was not a person who could achieve great things.

At this moment, among the remaining less than 300,000 troops, there is a feeling of uneasiness permeating.

Spring ploughing season is just around the corner.

These Jingzhou soldiers were very optimistic at the beginning. I feel that I will soon be able to enter the Guanzhong and support the new emperor to ascend the throne, and even if I don't work, I will be able to eat and drink spicy food.

But now.

The successive failures made them realize that the strength of the imperial court was far from being comparable to that of a small vassal king. Following the rebellion of the King of Chu is definitely a dead end.

……

At this time, Qiu Rui, the king of Changping, did another unexpected thing.

He asked those who could write to write letters among the captives, and those who could not write to write them for help, with their signatures.

The content of the letter is to tell those Jingzhou soldiers: The emperor knows that you are forced, so he does not blame you, the main purpose of this army is to crusade against the rebellion of the king of Chu and others, except for a few thieves, if the others can change their ways in time, the emperor will not blame the past.

After these letters were written, Qiu Rui sent men to raid the rebel camp and shoot the letters into the camp with arrows without arrowheads.

Soon, the contents of the letter were known to all Jingzhou people.

They didn't look like they were fighting anymore, but now they see a way out, and they are even more ready to move.

And in another month, the time for spring plowing will be missed.

What to do then?

After the defeat, not only will there be no food to eat this winter, but maybe they will be sent to dig a canal like the rebels in Taiyuan, and eventually no one will die.

There are two paths: one is to continue to fight, and it is difficult to protect the name of eighty percent; The other is to go back to farming and live a peaceful life.

These rebels don't have to think about it to know which one to choose.

This time, the rebels' morale was completely dispersed.

There were even a few lower-level officers who organized a riot and wanted to take the opportunity to take down Yang Liang, the king of Chu.

If it weren't for the timely pressure of Yuwen Chengdu and the Wu brothers, it would have been possible for them to succeed.
