Chapter 701: The Red Eyebrows Are Destroyed
Qianqian, the fastest update of the latest chapter of Han Tianzi!
Liu Xiu pulled the Red Mei Army to the side of Luoshui, and transported all the weapons handed in by the Red Mei Army, giving them a chance to choose again.
If the Red Eyebrow Army is not convinced, they can now take up arms and fight with their own side again, just on the edge of Luoshui, the two armies will fight to the death.
Liu Xiu's approach is not only to defeat the opponent physically, but also to completely destroy the enemy psychologically.
As the saying goes, killing is the bottom, and punishing the heart is the top. Liu Xiu's move not only showed the strong combat power of the Han army, but also showed his unparalleled self-confidence.
Hearing his words, Fan Chong, Xie Lu, Feng An and others lowered their heads one by one, sweating like rain. Pick up arms again and fight with the Han army, which is undoubtedly asking for their own death, and the waves and waters behind them will definitely be their burial place. Xu Xuan suddenly knelt on his knees, bowed forward, put his head on the ground, and said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty is tormenting the ministers and waiting!" Your Majesty is the true Son of Heaven, and anyone who is an enemy of Your Majesty is tantamount to self-destruction, and the ministers submit to Your Majesty, which is really the destiny of Heaven, and the ministers are again
How dare you disobey? ”
Fan Chong and the others also knelt on the ground one after another, kowtowed forward, and said urgently: "Your Majesty is the true son of heaven, and the ministers dare not disobey!" ”
Liu Xiu slowly glanced at everyone and said: "I have already given you the opportunity, it is in front of you now, if you don't fight for it, it will be difficult to find such an opportunity in the future!" ”
Fan Chong and the others said in unison: "The ministers don't dare!" ”
Liu Xiu was silent for a while before slowly nodding his head and saying, "You can get up later!" ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Fan Chong and the others had white faces, and stood up tremblingly one by one.
Liu Xiu's gaze fell on Xu Xuan, smiled leisurely, and said, "Xu Xuan, you are not bad, you can be regarded as a capable person among this group of mediocre people!" ”
In Liu Xiu's eyes, these generals of the Red Eyebrow Army, one is counted as one, and they are all a group of mediocre people. Among the local rebel armies, the Red Eyebrow Army is the strongest and has the widest sphere of influence.
Even after Wang Mang's death, Liu Xuan replaced him, at this time, the strength of the Red Eyebrow Army was better than that of the First Imperial Court.
is obviously the most promising and capable force in the world, and now it has ended up like this, the leaders of the Red Eyebrow Army are not a group of mediocre people, what are they?
Among the leaders of the Red Eyebrow Army, Xu Xuan is one of the more talented, at least he understands current affairs and can distinguish the situation and the stakes.
Liu Xiu's words seemed to be praising Xu Xuan, but in fact, he scolded all the soldiers of the Red Eyebrow Army, including Xu Xuan.
The battle that decided the fate of the Red Eyebrow Army was the Battle of Kundi, and the last battle fought by the Red Eyebrow Army was the Battle of Yiyang.
The Battle of Yiyang ended, the entire Red Mei Army surrendered, and the history of the Red Mei Army came to an end.
Red eyebrows in the north, green forests in the south, these two huge rebel armies swept the Central Plains vigorously.
After the Red Eyebrows and the Green Forest worked together to destroy the Xinmang Imperial Court, the Green Forest Army quickly seized the fruits of victory under the banner of the Han Dynasty, elected Liu Xuan as the emperor, and entered Chang'an, and the first imperial court officially replaced the Xinmang Imperial Court.
is the same rebel army, the same is the merit of extermination, but the fruits of victory have fallen into the hands of the Green Forest Army family, the Red Eyebrow Army has not gotten anything, Liu Xuan only symbolically sealed Fan Chong, Xu Xuan and others in name only.
This caused the Red Eyebrow Army to be greatly dissatisfied, and the Red Eyebrows and the Green Forest also broke up. Red eyebrows elected Liu Penzi as the emperor, established the founding court, and fought against the court of the beginning.
The Green Forest Army, which entered Chang'an, did not want to make progress and quickly corrupted, and its regime was overthrown by the imposing Red Eyebrow Army in a very short period of time.
But after the Red Eyebrow Army entered Chang'an, it was not as good as the first court of the green forest, and the bandit style when he was a rebel army was moved to the Sanfu area, burning, killing and looting, doing all kinds of evil, and the people of Sanfu suffered greatly.
Whether it is Green Forest or Red Eyebrows, they all regard themselves as the rulers of a country in their bones.
After gaining power, they only wanted to fill their own pockets, and the whole world was fought by Lao Tzu, and of course Lao Tzu wanted to live a life of a superior person. He has no long-term vision and no will to govern the country.
At the same time, Liu Xiu sprung up in Hebei and quickly controlled the Hebei region, as well as Hanoi, Henan, and Hedong, the country's major grain-producing areas, and Liu Xiu occupied half of the country, which laid a solid foundation for Liu Xiu's forces.
In stark contrast to the green forest and red eyebrows, Liu Xiu loves the people, is sympathetic to the people's feelings, widely implements benevolent government, reduces taxes and taxes, and recuperates.
Originally, the north was the hardest hit area of the national rebel army, but under the governance of Liu Xiu, the rebel armies from all walks of life were pacified, the people's lives gradually stabilized, and all industries were revitalized, and the north has shown a thriving trend.
is also a peasant, but Liu Xiu can unite all strata of society, not only to get the gentry clan and big landlords to support him, but also to let the ordinary people at the bottom support him. This is Liu Xiu's ability.
After subduing the Red Mei Army, Liu Xiu arranged Liu Penzi to the Zhao palace of his uncle Liu Liang and let him serve as a langzhong in the palace. Langzhong, in modern terms, is a high-level clerk.
Later, Liu Penzi suffered from eye disease, blindness, and could not be an official in the palace, so Liu Xiu gave Xingyang to Liu Penzi, and from then on, Liu Penzi lived on Xingyang food until he died.
Liu Penzi lived a very hard life in the first half of his life, before the age of fifteen, he was a cattle herder, from fifteen to seventeen years old, he was the puppet emperor in the hands of the Red Mei Army, it is estimated that more than two years have been the darkest period of his life.
After surrendering Liu Xiu, Liu Penzi's life finally settled down, first he was a langzhong for Liu Liang, and then although he was blind, he had Xingyang's food to receive, he had no worries about food and clothing, and lived a rich life. As for Fan Chong, Xu Xuan, Xie Lu, Feng An, Yang Yin, the leaders of the Red Mei Army, Liu Xiu said that if he didn't kill them, he would really do what he said. Liu Xiu was in Luoyang, and each of them bought a house, so that they had a home, and then attached it to Luoyang
Recently, they were given 200 acres of fertile land each, so that they had a source of livelihood, even if they did not go to farming, they rented out these 200 acres of fertile land, and they could live a good life by eating rent every year.
It seems that it is not bad for the leaders of the Red Eyebrow Army to get such an end, but compared with the Bronze Horse Army, which was also a rebel army and later surrendered to Liu Xiu, their treatment is far worse.
After the Bronze Horse Army led by Dongshan Barren Bald, after surrendering to Liu Xiu, it was not only reused by Liu Xiu, but also made Hou.
Is the ability of the leaders of the Bronze Horse Army such as Dongshan Barren really stronger than the ability of the leaders of the Red Eyebrow Army such as Fan Chong?
Definitely! It's just the time of the moment.
When Liu Xiu first subdued the Bronze Horse Army, it was a critical period when he laid the foundation in Hebei, and there was an urgent shortage of manpower.
When the Red Mei Army surrendered to Liu Xiu, Liu Xiu's foundation was solid enough, and the soldiers and horses of the Han Army were strong enough.
This is the reason why the treatment of the Red Eyebrow Army and the Bronze Horse Army after surrendering to Liu Xiu is very different.
If all the leaders of the Red Eyebrow Army can keep to themselves, maybe they can also die like Liu Penzi, but they have the factor of restlessness, which is a later story.
So far, in Chinese history, the mighty Red Mei Uprising ended in failure. This year is the third year of Jianwu, the twenty-seventh year of A.D., the spring and the third month.
After Liu Xiu surrendered the Red Mei Army in Yiyang, he did not return to the court, so Liu Xiu turned the spearhead, waved his army south, and marched to Nanyang.
Nanyang is Liu Xiu's hometown, and it is also the emperor's township, how can it be occupied by the rebels? Wu Han and Cen Peng successively fought unfavorably in Nanyang, and this time, Liu Xiu wanted to conquer Nanyang in person.
There were 100,000 Han troops under Liu Xiu, 80,000 Han troops under Feng Yi, 50,000 Han troops under Deng Yu and Geng Yi, and more than 200,000 Han troops in total.
It can be seen that Liu Xiu's personal expedition to Nanyang this time is ruthless, that is, he wants to defeat the rebel forces led by Deng Feng in one go.
I learned that Liu Xiu drove the expedition in person, personally commanded more than 200,000 troops, and marched to Nanyang, and Deng Feng was like a great enemy. Don't look at the fact that he defeated Wu Han and Cen Peng successively, but in both battles, he did not rely on his true strength to win.
defeated Wu Han because Wu Han caused public anger in Nanyang, and defeated Cen Peng because of Zhu You's mistakes. Now that Liu Xiu personally commands the army, it is menacing, and Deng Feng can have a hunch that the next battle will be very difficult.
Deng Feng personally commanded an army of 100,000 and went to Blockage Township and joined forces with Dong Xun's troops in Blockage Township, in addition, the Hanzhong Army headed by Yancen also came to Blockage Township, and the three-way soldiers and horses formed a coalition army of 15 or 60,000 people, commanded by Deng Feng.
As for Qin Feng, after being defeated by Wu Han, he was so frightened that Qin Feng ran back to his hometown in Nanjun, and did not dare to send troops to Nanyang again.
Here in Duxiang Township, it is the three allied forces of Deng Feng, Yancen and Dong Xun who want to fight Liu Xiu to the death.
As the Han army led by Liu Xiu entered Nanyang, Cen Peng's troops immediately moved closer to Liu Xiu's army, and the two Han armies merged again.
After the arrival of Cen Peng's troops, Liu Xiu's troops had as many as 300,000 troops, and their strength was twice as large as that of Deng Feng's coalition army.
With an army of more than 300,000 people, and it was personally commanded by Liu Xiu, Yan Cen and Dong Xun had little confidence in this battle.
Deng Fengjun camp, Yan Cen and Dong Xun came to the Chinese military tent together.
After seeing Deng Feng, the two looked at each other worriedly, and Dong Xun said: "General Deng, Liu Xiu led his troops, menacing, with many generals, in this battle, there is a huge disparity between the strength of the enemy and us, in my opinion, it is better to avoid its edge first!" Deng Feng looked at Dong Xun, then at Yan Cen, shook his head slowly, and said: "In this battle, our army has no way to avoid it, and we can only fight to the death!" If you choose to avoid the war, the soldiers of the whole army will have no fighting spirit, and then, we have to avoid it again and again.
There will be no place for our army again! ”
Yan Cen frowned and said, "General Deng is too worried!" The people of Nanyang are all on the side of our army! Only by temporarily avoiding the front can our army have room to maneuver with a strong enemy. ”
Deng Feng smiled bitterly, shook his head again and again, and said, "You all underestimate Liu Xiu too much!" Liu Xiu did not come to Nanyang, our army is indeed the will of the people, but when Liu Xiu arrives in Nanyang, whether the people of Nanyang will continue to support our army can be said in two ways. In Deng Feng's view, Liu Xiu is too good at being a man and too good at winning people's hearts, and the people of Nanyang dislike Wu Han, but no one has ever said that Liu Xiu is bad, and now that Liu Xiu has come to Nanyang in person, whether the people of Nanyang will respect Liu Xiu, Deng Feng's heart is really bottomless.
