……

Autumn goes to winter, and the time is the end of October in a blink of an eye.

The situation in the south is that a large number of urgent reports are sent to Xianyang every day.

With Tu Sui and Wang Ben two generals out of the horse, the chaotic southern counties have slowly calmed down, Jiujiang rebellion Zhou Yin has completely collapsed under the encirclement and suppression of the local generals, fled into the continuous mountains in Huoshan to hide, basically there is no threat, but the rebel forces in some other places are one after another, although the number is not too much, but the county officials are anxious, more than ten county towns were attacked by bandits, and countless towns and towns were looted, The entire southeast, especially in many places near Huiji and Fujian, has been in chaos, and the situation is very chaotic.

Xiong Shanhou hurriedly hurried to finally lead 6,000 soldiers and horses to the junction of Huiji and Minzhong County in a month, and when he arrived here, he found that things had already been completely different from what he heard when he set off in Xianyang.

Xiang Liang now has more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, occupying the three county towns of Wusheng, Taimo, and Yuhan, and the area under control has been thousands of miles away, and the soldiers and horses are strong and arrogant, but what makes Xiang Liang depressed is that they have attacked Huipu County several times without success, under the continuous stubborn resistance of Gao Yan and the Yue people, the rebels can only give up Huipu and expand to the southwest after killing and wounding more than 1,000 people, and after occupying Yuhan County, the soldiers are divided into two ways to force Poyang and Xinyu counties, if they occupy these two counties, then they look at Jiujiang and Changsha counties, It can be attacked and defended, and it has become a very powerful force.

From September to get the news of Xiang Liang's rebellion, the court arranged for 400 miles to expedite the delivery of the military letter to the Wuling border pass, but the day of the arrival of the military letter was already mid-October, and the closest to central Fujian is Da Yuling, and so on The Great Yuling guard mobilized thousands of soldiers and horses to rush to the border of central Fujian, it was already the end of October, Xiang Liang had captured the county town of Luling, and the general of Da Yuling launched an offensive against Xinyu, but it was not successful, and did not get the order of Tu Sui, the general who commanded the bandits, and could only retreat to Luling County after a tentative attack, At the same time, the situation was urgently reported to Xianyang and Huiji and Jiujiang County Guard.

At this time, it has been two months since Xiang Liang raised troops from Wuzhong, in these two months, the scale of Xiang Liang's rebels has increased day by day, and a group of generals such as Long and Zhong Liwu have gradually become handy with the command of the army, plus after occupying the four county towns, the grain, grass, ordnance, and horses have been greatly replenished, and the impact on the surrounding counties has become more and more huge.

"Haha, Qin Jun is not Er'er!"

After Luling County repelled the defenders of Da Yuling, Xiang Liang and others became more and more excited, and at this time, through the news from the inquiry, many nearby counties were already in chaos, and even Changsha began to be chaotic.

"Xiang Gong, for the safety of the back road, a certain suggestion is to capture Huipu, so as to ensure that the advance can be attacked and retreated, and the invincible position can be defended, otherwise when the Wuling army and the imperial court army arrive, we will still not be able to hold this place that extends in all directions!"

Gathered in the county hall of Luling County, Xiang Liang and a group of generals under him ate and drank to celebrate.

"The soldiers of Wuling are all old, weak, sick and disabled after the original conquest of the Six Kingdoms, the emperor's elite army is concentrated in Xianyang and the northwest to guard against Huhu, and at present, only sixty or seventy thousand people are left in the 300,000 army in the northwest, and more than 30,000 are preparing to attack the Yueshi, not to mention that the distant water can't catch the thirst, and when Zhao Zheng mobilizes the army from the northwest to rush to the south, it will be at least two months later, and besides, the northwest soldiers are all horse pawns, and the south is full of dense river networks and lakes, how can it be our opponent between these mountains, rivers and valleys!" Xiang Liang was in high spirits at this time, and he was already slightly drunk.

No wonder he was happy and excited, it was really too smooth to rebel this time, in addition to being blocked in Wuzhong, this road from Wuzhong to here, almost smooth, even if he did not get back to Pu, but opened up the road to his hometown and Jiujiang, now is the time when the grain and grass are sufficient and the troops are strong, if you wait until Zhong Liwu occupies Poyang County, the momentum will be even stronger, and the occupied area will almost have half a county.

"What Xiang Gong said is good, I didn't expect that Daqin was strong and middle-class, and the local defenders were so vulnerable!" Several of the other Ranger generals who defected all echoed the flattery.

"The land of a county has been a strong marquis in the past, why didn't Xiang Gong claim the king earlier, so that the anti-Qin will be more popular with the people!" A middle-aged scribe with black beard and black hair stood up and said.

"Yes, if the name is not right, it is not good, since Xiang Gong has raised an army against Qin, we can also get a point for following the left and right, so that the soldiers will be more courageous if they have the temptation of meritorious service!" During the banquet, several people dressed in civil and military clothes nodded in agreement.

"My Xiang clan is the minister of the Great Chu, naturally I want to support the bloodline of the king of Chu as the king, you can rest assured, a certain has arranged for someone to find the descendants of the king of Chu, just wait for a certain prince to arrive, will inevitably erect the banner of the Great Chu, then all the people of Chu will come to vote, and then you will all be important ministers of the country, and the king and marquis will be just around the corner!" Xiang Liang was not completely carried away by the victory in front of him, if he rashly claimed the king, it would inevitably make the people of Chu dissatisfied, the best way was naturally to support a descendant of the king of Chu, as for the success of the restoration of the country, it would naturally be talked about later.

And when Xiang Liang captured Luling, Tu Sui's army had also arrived in Zhuji, a hundred miles away is Wusheng, according to the news that Jiang Heng, the commander of Huiji County, who had already led 1,500 soldiers to force here, had more than 3,000 rebels stationed in Wusheng, and the bandit leader was Xiang Bo, and had driven civilians to build passes between the mountains, Jiang Heng's two attacks were unsuccessful, so he could only retreat to Zhuji and wait for the arrival of reinforcements from the imperial court.

"Jiang Junshou, after the black injury, there is news of Gao Yan, the lieutenant of Minzhong, right now?" Tu Sui, who was sitting on the top of the county government hall with a big horse golden knife in full armor, asked.

"General Yu, the lieutenant of Minzhong County, Gao Yan has more than 1,000 soldiers stationed in Huipu County, only a hundred miles away from Wusheng, Gao Yan knew that he could not resist the rebels, so he bribed the governor of the Yue clan in Fujian with money to resist the rebels together, last month Gao Yan arranged for his son Gao Yao to come from the mountain trail to ask for help, Heng sent five hundred soldiers and horses to make a detour to help defend Huipu, Heng did not understand the art of war, and the police officers and lieutenants also had to disperse the guards to prevent the bandits from causing trouble, so they could only sit back and watch the rebels grow, and ask the general to punish him!" Jiang Heng cautiously replied.

"It's not your fault, if it weren't for the proper handling of the Jiang County Guard, if the Xiang clan was allowed to occupy Wuzhong, I was afraid that it would be more difficult to deal with this time, but since the general had arrived, it was inevitable to capture the Wu Wound as soon as possible to cut off the Xiang Clan's back road, as long as the Wu Wound was occupied, the Xiang Clan could only go to Changsha and Jiujiang, and the southeast was assisted by the Wuling defenders, and the rebels would soon break up and flee, and the Jiang County Guard would prepare grain and grass here, and don't worry about the rest of the matter......"

Tu Sui stood up and looked at the lieutenants and the officers sitting left and right below, "Pass the order, quickly eat and drink, and send troops to attack after half an hour!" ”

"Oh~~" A group of generals and officials all stood up and promised to do so.

On the 28th day of October in the 31st winter of the first emperor.

In the middle of the day, 6,000 armed with Changge bows and crossbows and banners hunting and churning 6,000 troops entered the Wusheng county town held by the Xiangliang rebels, looking at the neat and strict Daqin soldiers who came under black pressure, and the rebels who assisted in defending several simple passes along the way almost collapsed without a fight, and after a few sporadic skirmishes, they left hundreds of corpses and fled back to Wusheng County, and Xiang Bo, the main general of the city, was shocked when he learned the news, and hurriedly sent someone to ask for help from the rebels who were at the end of the city.

Wusheng is only a small city on the border of Huiji and Fujian, the radius is only 20 miles, the population is only 20,000, the city walls are built with wood and stone rammed earth, many places have already collapsed and collapsed in the process of the Qin State to attack Chu, compared to the situation of Pheasant County, although Xiang Liang occupied Wusheng and arranged for the people in the city to repair, but it still looks dilapidated, the city wall is not more than two zhang high, it looks crumbling.

Tu Sui's army was crushed all the way, looking at the broken city in front of him, Tu Sui did not stop to repair and launched an offensive directly, under the suppression of the powerful bow and crossbow of the Qin army, the city wall was broken in several places in just one hour, and there were not a few decent battles and tug-of-wars, the rebels defending the city collapsed, Xiang Bo saw that it was not good and abandoned the city, leading less than 2,000 bandits to flee to Taimo in a hurry.

Easily occupying the county town of Wushen, Tu Sui sent a lieutenant to lead 2,000 men to follow him, and at the same time selected officials in the city to pacify the people and treat the wounded, and cut down more than 200 rebels in one go, and hung their heads neatly on the floor.

Taimo is more than 200 miles away from Wusheng, because there are mountains all around, large and small rivers are intertwined, it is very unaccustomed to the 6,000 army requisitioned from Shanchuan and other counties, and the lieutenant who pursued Xiang Bo did not get a good deal, and met the rebels who came to meet him halfway, and the two sides had to return to Wusheng County after a melee after injuring more than 300 people.

After recovering the black wounds, Tu Sui sent a messenger to go back to Pu to inform Gao Yan that early the next morning, Tu Sui's army once again drove straight to Taimo, preparing to take Taimo in one go, then it could completely cut off the back road of Xiang's rebels, and Xiang could only flee to the southeast under the pressure of step by step.

This is also his order before leaving, Chen Ping said in the military department that day, although Wei Yi did not care, but afterwards felt that Chen Ping's reason was still very sufficient, only by forcing the rebels to a flat place can there be a chance to catch them all, although Tu Sui and Wei Yi are not in harmony, but after all, he is still a general who is proficient in the art of war, so he still listens to three points, but after the battle is decided to easily win the black wound, Tu Sui did not take the rebels to heart, just like the common understanding of hundreds of civil and military officials in Xianyang, the Xiang family is just a group of rabble, Putting down the rebels in three months is not a problem at all.

After a two-hour rapid march, Tu Sui's army crushed several rebels along the way, and then also arrived at the county seat of Taimo in the middle of the day.

Although Taimo is still a small city, but the city wall is much more complete and taller, there are Xiang clan people in the city to guard, the defenders are 2,000, plus Xiang Bo and others who fled here with black wounds, the defenders in the city have reached more than 4,000 people, plus because of the early precautions, when the Tu Sui army arrived, the rebels have gathered the people in the city to prepare a large number of door boards, wood and stones at the head of the city to resist the bow and crossbow of the Qin army.

"Attack~" After arriving at the end of the Taimo, the Tu Sui army began to launch a fierce attack on the county after a short period of repair, dense arrows fell into the city like a torrential rain, in the terrible screams, the people in the city were terrified and panicked, countless people were killed and injured by arrows, and the rebels guarding the city were not badly damaged, but after all, it was a rabble composed of a group of hooligans and idlers, after nearly two hours of attack, hundreds of corpses had been piled up under the city, A large number of arrows were also inserted in the wooden and stone panels of the city walls, and the defenders had already broken up in many places.

Under the suppression of the bow and crossbow, some simple siege equipment has also been built, several giant trees more than ten zhang long were transported to the city, the soldiers braved the scarce arrows at the head of the city to begin to attack the city gate, after several impacts, the heavy city gate was broken, the army instantly poured into the city and began to slash the rebels, after a hand-to-hand combat, the rebels abandoned the city after throwing thousands of corpses again, Xiang Bo escaped again, but the rebel leader Xiang Qi, who guarded the end of the town, was killed by random arrows after breaking off.

Taking Taimo, Tu Sui was more relaxed, and after a two-day battle, his subordinate soldiers were all exhausted, Tu Sui ordered to temporarily station in Taimo for repair, count the casualties and treat the wounded, and at the same time search for the people and rebels in the city. ()
