Chapter 710: Destroying the withering and decaying
Qianqian, the fastest update of the latest chapter of Han Tianzi!
Dong Xun came back to his senses, hurriedly kowtowed forward, and said urgently: "Thank you, Your Majesty!" Thank you, Your Majesty, for not killing! ”
Liu Xiu waved his hand to him and said, "Get up!" ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty! Thank you, Your Majesty! Dong Xun kowtowed again and stood up from the ground tremblingly. Liu Xiu didn't kill Dong Xun, of course, for a reason. First, Dong Xun led his troops to surrender, and staged a scene in public to kill himself with a horizontal sword, and the soldiers below naturally admired him even more, if he killed Dong Xun, it would inevitably cause dissatisfaction among the surrendered soldiers, and now they surrendered and surrendered, and they may rise up to rebel in the future, and more people will die, which Liu Xiu does not want to see. Second, Dong Xun was able to organize a rebel army of tens of thousands of people here in the township, and his prestige in the township was not tolerated
Underestimating him and killing him will inevitably arouse the dissatisfaction of the people in the township. Now Liu Xiu has been doing his best to win the hearts of the people in Nanyang and let Dong Xun go, which is in Liu Xiu's interests.
The biggest difference between being the Son of Heaven and being an ordinary person is that things can no longer be based on personal likes and dislikes, everything done is based on interests, and the interests of the country represent the interests of the Son of Heaven, and the Son of Heaven and the country are one. Liu Xiu looked at Dong Xun, who was grateful to him, smiled indifferently, and said: "Dong Xun, you go and tell your subordinates that if there are those who are willing to stay in our Han army, they can stay, and if they are not willing to stay in the Han army, they can get some food and go home to live in peace."
”
"Thank you, Your Majesty! Thank you, Your Majesty! Dong Xun knelt down and kowtowed again, and after getting up, he walked away quickly.
Most of Dong Xun's subordinates were no longer willing to continue the war and chose to disarm and return to the field. A small number of people chose to stay in the Han army and were absorbed by various departments.
After dealing with Dong Xun's matter, a spy came to report quickly, saying that the remnants of Yancen were retreating in the direction of Yuxian, while the remnants of Deng Feng were retreating in the direction of Wancheng.
After Liu Xiu heard this, he pondered for a moment, then turned his head and said, "Bo Zhao! ”
"Wechen is here!" Geng Yi stepped out of the queue and saluted Liu Xiu.
Liu Xiu said: "You lead the cavalry soldiers to pursue the remnants of Yancen, and you must wipe out the remnants of Yancen in one fell swoop!" ”
"Wechen obeys!" Geng Yi agreed and took the order.
Liu Xiu said to the rest of the generals around him: "You wait with me, pursue Deng Feng, strike while the iron is hot, and don't give Deng Feng's remnants a chance to breathe!" ”
"Wechen obeys!" The generals spoke in unison.
Won a great victory in the battle of blocking the township, the Han army did not stop, nor did it put on a big celebration banquet, the soldiers did not take off their armor, the war horses did not take off the saddle, and they pursued the buttocks of the defeated army.
Yan Cen led the remnants and fled all the way to Sui County.
He hit it off at first sight with Du Hong, a native of Sui County. Du Hong is quite prestigious in Sui County, and it can be called a hundred responses. Yan Cen planned to retreat to Sui County, recuperate, and then find a way out.
As a result, as soon as Yan Cen led his troops to Sui County, the Han army led by Geng Yi chased after him.
The two sides did not talk nonsense, and a fierce battle unfolded on the territory of Sui County. In the remnants of Yancen, there are only about 20,000 soldiers left, and Geng Yi's subordinates also have 20,000.
It seems that the forces of the two sides are equal, but there is one point, most of Yan Cen's subordinates are infantry, and Geng Yi is commanded by all Youzhou Turks.
The head-to-head confrontation on the plain battlefield, 20,000 infantry against 20,000 cavalry, it was not a battle to the death, it was completely a one-sided crushing of cavalry against infantry.
When the 20,000 cavalry rushed forward, the rumbling sound was like a muffled thunder, and the dust on the ground rolled into the air, as if a large sandstorm was coming, and the ground trembled strongly, no less than the army of 100,000 or 200,000 advancing forward.
Before the battle began, just looking at the momentum of the cavalry charging into formation, the remnants of Yancen were already half cold. The cavalry rushed to the front and rear, and with the inertia of the war horse's charge, spears pierced out. The wooden shields used by the infantry are vulnerable in front of the cavalry spears, and the spears are pierced on the shield surface, either the shield is directly broken, or the shield surface is pierced, even if some shields block the spears stabbed by the cavalry, but the ensuing war horses also collide
It's also unbearable, and it's broken.
The moment the soldiers of the two sides made contact, a long platoon of people fell on the side of the Yancen army.
The soldiers in front, under the trampling and killing of the cavalry, kept falling to the ground, and the corpses were all collapsed into flesh by the war horses. As for Du Hong, who responded to Yancen in Sui County, he also organized a group of township warriors to help Yancen, but in front of tens of thousands of Youzhou rioters, these township warriors, including Du Hong himself, were all so frightened that their faces were pale, their bodies trembled, and their legs and stomachs
Straight-turning tendons.
In this battle, the Yancen army was defeated again, with countless dead and wounded, Du Hong didn't even make a move, and surrendered directly to the Han army. The defeat was like a mountain, and at the critical moment, Yan Cen once again exerted his greatest ability in life, escape!
This time, Yan Cen ran south, did not dare to stop on the road, and escaped from Nanyang County all the way with dozens of henchmen, ran into Nanjun, and went to Qin Feng.
The Yancen forces, which formed an alliance with Deng Feng, were cut off by the Han army.
At the beginning, Yan Cen entered Nanyang with tens of thousands of Han middle people's army, but now when he fled, there were only dozens of poor people left around him, and tens of thousands of troops were all wiped out here in Nanyang.
Deng Zhong, who was defeated by the sacrifice, fled to Duyan County with the remnants, and at the order of Liu Xiu, the sacrifice and compliance department that came to pursue followed, and also chased to Duyan County, and the two sides fought a second battle in Duyan. There are not many soldiers and horses left in the remnants of Deng Zhong, and the Han army led by Sai Zun is like a rainbow, this battle is also no suspense, and finally ends with a complete victory for the Han army.
Sai Zun personally led a group of cavalry and continued to pursue Deng Zhong. The battle of blocking the township can be called the turning point of Deng Feng in Nanyang, and after the battle of blocking the township, Deng Feng's forces quickly collapsed. First, Dong Xun led his troops to surrender, and then Yancen's entire army was annihilated, and he fled to Nanjun in a hurry, and Deng Zhong was also annihilated by the whole army, everywhere
Flee and evade the pursuit of the priesthood.
Of course, Deng Feng is not clear about these things now, and he will not be unpredictable. Deng Feng led the remnants and retreated all the way to Wancheng. As a result, before he arrived in Wancheng, Jian Rong, who was stationed in Wancheng, led his troops out of the city and took the initiative to meet the remnants of Deng Feng.
Jianrong and Wanyu were captured in Wancheng in the second year of Jianwu, and now it is the third year of Jianwu. After Wan Xuan died of illness, Jian Rong supported the overall situation alone, and led his subordinates to hold on for a year in Wancheng City.
In the battle of blocking the township, Jian Rong has been sending spies to keep an eye on it, and when he learned that his side had won a complete victory, Deng Feng was defeated, and the remnants of the army were running towards Wancheng, how could he let go of this good opportunity to beat the water dogs? After swallowing his anger for a year, he led a group of people to kill Wancheng and block Deng Feng's army halfway. At this time, Deng Fengjun was like a frightened bird, seeing the Han army coming, he didn't dare to fight at all, and the battle between the two sides had not yet begun, so he took Deng
The desertion of the Feng army ended in flight.
Deng Fengjun had just left on the front foot, and the pursuers behind him also followed.
After being trapped in Wancheng for a year, Jian Rong finally saw his Han soldiers again. When he saw the banner of the main force of the Han army, not only did Jian Rong cry with joy, but the soldiers below couldn't help but cry loudly.
It was Wu Han who led the army to the front, and when he saw the banner of the Han army in front of him, and the soldiers wearing the uniforms of the Han army, he couldn't help but be stunned. ”
Wu Han's heart was shocked, and he hurriedly urged the horse to run over. When Jian Rong and the others approached, Wu Han looked closely, isn't it, the general led by Jian Rong is not Jian Rong or who?
He turned over and dismounted, bowed deeply to Jian Rong, who was walking straight towards him, and said: "General Jian is trapped in Wancheng, it is all the fault of the Han!" ”
When Jian Rong heard this, he hurriedly returned the salute and said: "Da Sima Yan is serious, at the beginning, it was the last general who was willing to stay in Wancheng!" ”
Looking at Jian Rong carefully, he felt that he was a lot thinner than before, Wu Han's nose was sour, he walked up to Jian Rong, patted his arm, and said, "In the past year, Ziling has suffered!" ”
Jian Rong smiled nonchalantly and said, "Fortunately, the end of the mission is humiliating, and Wancheng has not been occupied by the thief army!" It's a pity that General Wan died of illness in Wan! ”
At the mention of Wan Xuan, Wu Han was also full of emotion in his heart, he took a deep breath, pulled Jian Yan's arm and said, "Go!" Ziling, come with me to see Your Majesty! Wu Han took Jian Rong through the ranks of the front army until he came to the Chinese army and met Liu Xiu. When Liu Xiu learned the news of Jian Rong's coming, he was also overjoyed, and when he got out of the carriage, he saw Wu Han pulling Jian Rong to come quickly, the corners of his mouth raised,
smiled at everyone on the left and right: "No matter how rampant the thief army in Nanyang is and how strong the power is, Wancheng has always been under our control, and this is all the work of Ziling!" ”
The surrounding generals nodded again and again, and they firmly defended Wancheng, which was like a nail into the heart of the enemy, and it also made Deng Feng always have concerns and did not dare to expand his power outside Nanyang.
Liu Xiu's words of praise were also heard by Jian Rong, and he walked quickly to Liu Xiu's approach, knelt on his knees, kowtowed forward, and said, "Weichen see Your Majesty!" ”
"Ziling, please get up!" Liu Xiu stretched out his hand to help Jian Rong up, and looked at him carefully from top to bottom, except for being thinner, there was nothing wrong with it.
Liu Xiu nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile: "Our army was able to defeat Deng Feng's thief army in Nanyang, Zi Ling has made great contributions!" ”
Jian Rong's body was shocked, and he hurriedly bowed down and saluted, saying, "Weichen doesn't dare to take credit!" The victory of this battle is all due to His Majesty's Shengming! ”
Liu Xiu waved his hand and said, "If there is no Ziling to contain the thief army in Wancheng, I am afraid that the thief army will have already hit Yingchuan, Henan, and Luoyang City!" ”
Jian Rong waved his hand again and again in fear, and said: "Weichen doesn't dare to take credit!" Don't dare to take credit! ”
Liu Xiu laughed. Liu Xiu is not a greedy person, he is already the Son of Heaven, no matter how great the credit he has made, he is still the Son of Heaven, he is more willing to push the military exploits to the soldiers under his command, so that they can accumulate the capital of increasing officials and becoming knights.
As for what kind of merit is high, this has never been in Liu Xiu's consideration. He is the emperor immediately, and he single-handedly defeated the whole world. Among the emperors of all dynasties, Liu Xiu's self-confidence is second to none.
After joining Liu Xiu, Jian Rong led his troops to no longer garrison Wancheng, but followed Liu Xiu's side to pursue the remnants of Deng Feng's army.
Because of Jianrong's meritorious service in garrisoning Wancheng, Liu Xiufeng Jianrong was Zuo Cao, and the former Zuo Cao Wang Chang was named General Hanzhong by Liu Xiu.
Zuo Cao and the general, it is not possible to talk about who is big and who is small, but the former is a civilian, and the latter is a military general.
In addition, there is another difference that Zuo Cao is a person next to the Son of Heaven and a close minister of the Son of Heaven.
A person who has the ability to command the army and has repeatedly made military exploits can be promoted to general, but it is difficult to be able to do Zuo Cao, but all the ministers who can do Zuo Cao are the most trusted people by the Son of Heaven.
Wang Chang is a straight man, he has always disliked to be a civilian, and he has complained several times in front of Liu Xiu, saying that he wants to lead the troops to fight. This time, Liu Xiu named him the general of Hanzhong, which can be regarded as satisfying Wang Chang's wish, and the vacancy of Zuo Cao that Wang Chang gave up was also logically taken over by Jianrong.
