The general Tu Sui was poisoned and died, and the 6,000-strong army was almost completely killed and wounded.

Although the rebels also suffered nearly 3,000 casualties, they recaptured the two cities of Taimo and Wushu in succession, and also captured a large number of grain, grass, baggage and equipment of the Qin army, and their momentum became stronger and stronger.

And in this era when transportation is basically by walking, communication is basically by roaring, and when the news reaches Wang Ben's military camp, ten days have passed, because there is Tu Sui in front, so Wang Ben's main task is to lead the southeastern counties to quell the bandits, and suppress the rebels along the way under the escort of the 3,000 forbidden troops to gather the soldiers of the counties and counties, although there are already tens of thousands of soldiers under his command, but in the face of the sudden news, Wang Ben still broke his beard in shock.

According to Jiang Heng's urgent report, the Xiangliang rebels now have tens of thousands of horses, and have occupied the five county towns of Wusheng, Taimo, Yujiang, Poyang and Luling.

Seeing this military report, Wang Ben finally began to take this rebel army seriously.

When he left Xianyang, not only did the Manchu Dynasty disapprove, but even when he was idle at home for five or six years and was recruited by the emperor to preside over the suppression of the southeast rebellion, he still felt incredible, even his father Wang Jian felt that the emperor was making a fuss, but in the face of the emperor's summoning Dafa, Wang Ben could not refuse, or could only take over this seemingly hors d'oeuvres task, and he was not willing to take the credit for such a bandit and Tu Sui, so he had been left behind in the rear to slowly suppress and clean up the banditry in the southeast counties. At this time, he had not crossed the river, and was sitting in Jiujiang County to clean up the mess.

Tu Sui failed to succeed, the 6,000-strong army was killed and wounded, the Xiang rebels were huge, and the southeastern counties were probably even more chaotic.

After getting the news, Wang Ben did not hesitate too much to lead the army to set off, the emperor asked to exterminate the rebels within three months, now it seems that there must be no half of the possibility, now nearly two months have passed, and his army is still nearly a thousand miles away from the wounded, and there is a big river to block, and it will take at least five days to prepare all the boats to cross the river, and it will take at least ten days to reach the junction of Huiji and Fujian.

"It seems that Your Majesty and the Marquis of Qinghe's reminder is right, the old man is still too careless, and Tu Sui ...... Alas! Looking at the mighty army of marching troops covering the sky and the sun, Wang Ben's face was depressed and about to drip water.

He never thought that Tu Sui would hang so neatly.

It is said that if the crockpot does not break from the wellhead, the general will inevitably die in battle.

Since the Great Qin swept the six countries to dominate the world, a full five years have passed today, in addition to the two large-scale conquests of Hun Hu and Yueshi in the northwest, the Central Plains and the southeast have been peaceful for a long time, not only the people are slack, but the court has also begun to slack, coupled with the officials despise the nobles of the six countries and even entangle with them, making the Great Qin seem to be extremely stable, but in fact, the undercurrent is not very peaceful, the people are rampant, and the people dare to be angry but dare not speak under the heavy law and harsh taxes, This made Xiang's army get so much echo and cooperation from Chudi, the rampant banditry in the southeastern counties led to smoke everywhere, and the county officials in various counties had never experienced this kind of chaotic scene, so they could only put out the fire everywhere in a hurry, just Wang Ben led the troops all the way to come, and cooperated with the local officials to exterminate several bandits, and cut off hundreds of heads to hang at the gate of the county seat in various places.

But in any case, Daqin is still very stable at the moment, especially in the past few years, the vigorous implementation of new farming methods and the relaxation of commercial laws, the development of the people has become more and more prosperous, and there is naturally no great threat to rebellion, but Tu Sui also died too quickly and is too embarrassing.

In fact, it can also be seen from Jiang Heng's military report that Tu Sui's death is too light and careless.

The emperor ordered Tu Sui to mobilize the police officers of the southeastern counties and the soldiers who defended Wuling, but Tu Sui did not intend to do this at all, and began to attack the rebels with only 6,000 men and horses, and there was no military intelligence report and contact with the guards of Da Yuling, who was almost close at hand.

A few days later, Wang Ben's army crossed the river from Juchao County, and after a day of repairs in Jiuzi, he led the army to the southeast to Huiji.

This route is almost the same as Tu Sui's march route, the bandits along the way have almost subsided, but because the news of Tu Sui's defeat reached the hometown, the people and officials here are in a panic, I heard that the Marquis of Tongwu Wang Ben once again led the army to exterminate the Xiang rebels, this is all recovered from the panic, the people on the road cheered the army of bandits in the imperial court, and officials from all over the country also came to meet and greet, the army passed everywhere, so the chaos in the county soon settled down again, and with the news spread to the county of Huiji, Huiji County Shoujiang Heng was so excited that he almost collapsed.

At the moment when he learned that Tu Sui was defeated and died, he felt that the sky of Huiji had fallen, and when he thought of Chen Xu's words when he recommended him to serve as the county guard of Huiji and told him to closely monitor the Xiang family, he also felt extremely grateful and afraid that Chen Xu could judge that the Xiang family would rebel several years in advance.

If it weren't for Chen Xu's repeated reminders, it is estimated that he would have died on the day Xiang Liang rebelled.

The Marquis of Tongwu descended on Huiji County, the local officials and people all felt that the little heart was beating quickly calmed down, and the local officials and businessmen prepared a large amount of food to comfort the army, and after entering Huiji, Wang Ben summoned Jiang Heng and Tu Sui's subordinate soldiers who fled back, and inquired in detail about the details of the Xiang rebels and their military strength, and then began to deploy to prepare to uproot the rebels.

Nearly half a month has passed, Xiang still occupies five county towns and has not expanded the territory, but the number of rebels is increasing every day, and it is currently speculated that it has exceeded more than 15,000 people, and there is not very good news that Tu Sui's soldiers were defeated and wounded and occupied by the rebels again, and attacked Huipu several times, Gao Yan's subordinates suffered heavy casualties and could not resist, if they could not get timely support from the army, I am afraid that Huipu would soon fall into the hands of the rebels, so that the rebels would have the possibility of fleeing to the mountains of Minyue.

Therefore, after getting the news, Wang Ben no longer stayed, and arranged for 5,000 soldiers to attack Wusheng County in advance to relieve Gao Yan from the siege, and led the army to recuperate and move slowly.

"Han Xin, you say that you are familiar with the art of war, and the Marquis of Qinghe has repeatedly praised you for your cleverness and wisdom, do you have a good plan to exterminate the Xiang rebels this time?" During the march, Wang Ben asked a young man who had been following him with a relaxed expression.

"The Great General is the pillar of the Great Qin Army, and he has swept through the Six Kingdoms without a single defeat, how dare the kid show off?" Although Han Xin is young and vigorous, in the face of Wang Ben, the god of war, he can only be respectful and dare not show off.

"There is no need to be modest, just pass the time on the march, Wushuai is just a small city, and it will be taken in an instant, but to completely wipe out the Xiang rebels, you need to think of a safe way to prevent the bandit leader from escaping elsewhere!" Wang Ben smiled and waved his hand.

"The Xiang clan is just a gathering of folk rangers and idlers as bandits, the armor is not neat, the soldiers are unprepared, it is not a war to invade the country, once they see the unstoppable situation, they will abandon the city, so the kid suggests that it is naturally a quick victory in one go, just kill a few rebel leaders, and the rebels will scatter and flee in all directions!" Han Xin thought for a moment and replied.

"You're right, but at the moment, our army is equal in strength to the Xiang rebels, and the rebels still occupy the advantage of the city, what should we do?" Wang Jian nodded and asked again.

For Chen Xu to give him a younger brother to come to the army before leaving, Wang Ben did not exclude, this is just a gesture, all the way forward, Han Xin has been marching with him left and right to suppress bandits, occasionally Wang Ben will ask some views on marching and fighting in his spare time, although Han Xin is young, he also answers decently, and even sometimes has some unique opinions, but Han Xin's favorite is not strategy, but a simple and rough army to crush, even if it is to exterminate dozens of bandits, every time it is recommended to send a large army to sweep away, Therefore, Wang Ben always felt a little unfinished.

Now that it was almost time for a decisive battle with the Xiang family, Wang Ben was determined to test it again, but he didn't expect the result to be the same.

"Although there are more than 10,000 rebels in the Xiang family, but the general still has 3,000 forbidden troops, all of them are fierce pawns of one and ten, not the rabble of the rebels, not to mention that the general has the authority to requisition the soldiers of the southeast counties and the defenders of Wuling, in the eyes of the boy, if the general wants to take down the rebels in one go, the best thing is to mobilize the defenders of Wuling, attack from the east and west at the same time, the rebels can only flee to the northwest, and when the time comes, there will be a big river to block it, and then tens of thousands of troops will cover up, and the Xiang clan will inevitably collapse!" Han Xin replied.

"Yes, it coincides with Ben Hou's thoughts!" Wang Ben nodded, "Where is the commander?" ”

"The subordinates are here!" A herald who accompanied the army rode up.

"Pass the general's order, quickly go to Da Yuling to pass the guards, and gather 30,000 soldiers and horses to attack the Xiang rebels from Ji'an and Nanqi counties!"

"Huh~" The herald received the order, and soon hundreds of fast horses put away the military orders and talismans and went to the southwest. ()
