Qianqian, the fastest update of the latest chapter of Han Tianzi!

The Qingcalf Army now removes the dead and seriously injured during the breakout, and then removes the soldiers who died of starvation and those who were too hungry to move, and the remaining combatable soldiers are less than 10,000 people.

The commander of the Qingcalf Army knows that by now, he has fallen into a desperate situation.

In desperation, he could only agree to the request of his subordinates, and led his subordinates to come out of the deep mountains and surrender to Liu Xiujun, who was stationed in the west of Qinshan.

The scale of the Qingcalf Army is larger than that of the Fifth School Army, with as many as two or three hundred thousand people, and if you add family members, the number must be about 500,000.

The tens of thousands of Qingcalf troops that appeared in the Liang period of Wei County were only a part of the Qingcalf Army, not the main army. The main general, named Zhang Tong, is the confidant of the leader of the Qingcalf Army.

The remnants of the Qingcalf Army, led by Zhang Tong, were escorted into the camp by the Han army. Liu Xiu also went to inspect it on purpose, and he was also quite curious, how could these tens of thousands of young calves survive in Qinshan for so long.

When I saw the remnants of the Qingcalf Army, my first feeling was miserable. From top to bottom, all of them have yellow muscles, sunken eye sockets, and sunken cheeks. When he approached the wounded soldier, a pungent stench suddenly came.

Liu Xiu frowned, drew his saber, and picked up the strip of cloth wrapped around the wound of a wounded soldier, and everyone around looked at it intently, and almost spit it out.

It turned out that the hideous wound was full of white and fat maggots, and the skin and flesh around the wound had rotted black, and the stench emitted was disgusting.

Long Yuan pulled Liu Xiu back two steps and reminded in a low voice: "Lord, be careful of the epidemic!" "By epidemic, we mean plague.

When Zhang Tong broke through for the second time, he encountered Jia Fu's running army, and he himself was injured under Jia Fu's halberd.

He was supported by two soldiers and walked to Liu Xiu's approach, knelt on his knees, kowtowed forward, and said: "King Xiao, we will take the initiative to surrender, and I hope that King Xiao can open the net and bypass our lives!" ”

Liu Xiu looked at Zhang Tong, who was kneeling on the ground, and said, "Take the initiative to surrender?" You say it lightly, but if you have another way out, will you go out of the mountain and surrender? ”

Zhang Tong's face was ugly and he was silent.

Liu Xiu continued: "So, don't say to Gu that you are taking the initiative to surrender, in fact, you are forced to have no choice but to surrender!" ”

After speaking, he flicked the sleeves of his robe, turned back to the Chinese military tent, and said without looking back: "Send it all to Xie Shangshu's camp and hand it over to Xie Shangshu for disposal!" ”

Killing these thieves seems to be too cruel, sparing these thieves is wasting their own food in vain, it is better to push it to Xie Gong and let Xie Gong do it himself.

Liu Xiu pushed all the surrendered Qingcalf Army to Xie Bow, Xie Bow was quite happy about this, and felt that Liu Xiu's handling method was enough to give him face, and he just found Liu Qing's defeated face.

Xie bowed to ask Liu Qing's opinion and asked, "General Liu, do you think our army should deal with these thieves like this?" ”

Liu Qing's face sank, and he said fiercely: "The thief army is hateful and hateful, but it can also be hated to the extreme, the crime is unforgivable, and they should all be executed!" ”

Xie nodded and said lightly: "Just do what General Liu wants!" ”

"Thank you, sir...... cough cough ......" Liu Qing looked excited and intervened to give a salute, but soon coughed violently.

When he was besieged by the Qingcalf Army, Liu Qing was also injured in many places, and he said that it was okay, but in fact the injuries were not light.

Seeing that Liu Qing was coughing badly, Xie Gong was about to ask other generals to execute these young calf soldiers, Liu Qing suppressed his cough and arched his hand and said: "Please hand over these thieves to the last general, and the last general will personally send them on the road to eliminate the hatred in his heart!" ”

"But General Liu's injuries ......"

"Don't worry, sir! The end will be fine! ”

"Since this is the case, then, the matter of dealing with the thief army will be handled by General Liu!"

"Thank you, sir!" Liu Qing bowed to the ground.

The remnants of the Qingcalf Army led by Zhang Tong did not run away, and all of them were finally killed by Liu Qingkeng. Even the big pit that killed them was forced by Liu Qing to dig it out by himself.

The annihilation of the entire army of Zhang Tong's army was also a big blow to the Qingcalf army, and the rest of the Qingcalf army who were wandering in Wei County no longer dared to run around, and moved to the south of Wei County one after another.

As long as there is the slightest mistake, they can evacuate Wei County and return to Hanoi as soon as possible.

Liu Xiu and Xie Bow led the army, all the way south, and arrived at the county seat of Wei County, Yecheng.

Wei County Taishou Chen Kang personally went out of the city to greet him, and after seeing Liu Xiu and Xie Gong, Chen Kang respectfully saluted the two of them and said: "Xiaguan Wei County Taishou Chen Kang, meet King Xiao!" Meet Xie Shangshu! ”

Xie bowed and waved his hand, signaling him to excuse himself. Waiting for Chen Kang to straighten up, Xie bowed and asked, "Recently, in Wei County, the thief army has been rampant, I don't know what the situation in Yecheng is?" Chen Kang's face was straight, and he said: "Back to Xie Shangshu, some time ago, the thief army was indeed rampant, and even frequently appeared near Yecheng, wanting to plot against Yecheng. But since King Xiao and Xie Shangshu won a great victory in Qinshan, the thief army has heard of it

Frightened, its rampant behavior has also been restrained a lot, and now, it has not been found in the vicinity of Yecheng for several days! ”

Speaking of this, he said with a smile on his face: "This is all the blessing of King Tuoxiao and Xie Shangshu!" Xiaguan represents the people of Yecheng, thank you King Xiao and Xie Shangshu! As he spoke, he bowed deeply.

Xie bowed and nodded, Liu Xiu took a deep look at Chen Kang, and didn't say anything.

Chen Kang gave him the impression that he was an old fritter in officialdom, such a person, who talks about people when he sees people, talks nonsense when he sees ghosts, is exquisite, left and right, and is not reliable.

Liu Xiu is very strange, for such a person, Xie Gong did not replace him in time, and continued to keep him in such an important position as the Taishou of Wei County, Xie Gong's employment skills are still to be discussed.

When he thinks so, he really knows that a man is hungry and a man is hungry. Liu Xiu has both fame and prestige, and is very popular among the scholar class and scholars, so there is an endless stream of capable people and wise men who come to seek refuge in Liu Xiu, and the number is extremely large.

Wu Han killed Miao Zeng, and Liu Xiu immediately sent Zhu Fu, who had been his chief bookkeeper, to Youzhou and let Zhu Fu take over as Youzhou pastor.

Geng Yi killed Wei Shun and Cai Chong, Liu Xiu didn't have to worry about Shanggu County and Yuyang County going to be leaderless, Geng Jing and Peng Chong, the two former Taishou, were all ready-made candidates.

So here in Liu Xiu, he has never been worried about the problem that no one is available.

On Xie Gong's side, it is the opposite, although he is a member of the imperial court, but here in Hebei, there are not many people who support Liu Xuan, and there are even fewer people who are willing to take refuge in Xie Xuan.

Xie Gong is really unavailable now, and if he dismisses Chen Kang's official position, he can't find a suitable candidate to take over the post of Wei County Taishou.

After Liu Xiu and Xie Gong led the army to Yecheng, they did not leave immediately and stayed in Yecheng for rest.

Not long after, Xie Gong's wife Qin Ziwen also came to Yecheng.

After learning about this, in a discussion, Liu Xiu also deliberately joked about Xie bowing, and said: "It's interesting for Xie Shangshu to lead the troops to fight, and the family still has to follow, but Mrs. Xie is worried that Xie Shangshu will mess with flowers outside?" ”

Hearing this, the old man's face turned red, and he hurriedly waved his hand and said, "King Xiao said he laughed." ”

He changed his words, changed the topic, and said: "King Xiao, at present, the thief army in Wei County has all gone south to the area of Dangyin, and it is reported that there are more than 100,000 people!" ”

Dangyin, which is the Tang Yin of the scene, is located near the junction of Wei County and Hanoi County. The various units of the Qingcalf Army are gathering in Dangyin, and the purpose is obvious, shrinking their forces, and wanting to fight a decisive battle with the Han army in Dangyin.

Liu Xiu nodded and said, "The Qingcalf Army is now planning to fight to the death with our side!" ”

Xie took a breath and subconsciously asked, "King Xiao thinks that the thief army of Wei County has the strength to compete with our army?" ”

Liu Xiu shook his head, as long as the battle was not over, it was difficult to say who would have the last laugh.

He said: "This battle, for the thief army, is to fight, and it must be fought!" After all, in Qinshan, they lost tens of thousands of people, and if they didn't fight a battle, they fled back like this, and they couldn't explain to their leaders. ”

Xie bowed and nodded as he listened, feeling that Liu Xiu's analysis made sense. Liu Xiu continued: "It is also very interesting that the thief army chose the location of the decisive battle in Dangyin. If they win this battle, it will naturally be the best, not only have they made great contributions, but they can also control the entire Wei County by taking advantage of the situation, and their forces can even take advantage of the situation

Expanded to the north to Zhao County, Quang Binh County, and Qinghe County. If they lose, that's fine, they can still run. After the Dangyin, further south, is Hanoi. They can escape back to their lair in Hanoi at any time. ”

So that's it! No wonder all the departments of the thief army have retreated to the yin, it turns out that the thief army still has such calculations! Xie Gong suddenly realized, and while admiring Liu Xiu, he also had to sigh: "This group of thieves is really cunning. ”

"Yes, the thieves are cunning, but they are not so easy to pacify." Liu Xiu twisted his neck, and his neck bones made a crunching sound.

Liu Qing, who had not recovered from his injuries, opened his mouth and asked, "King Xiao, should we fight this battle of Dangyin?" ”

Liu Xiule was happy, and asked rhetorically: "The thief army has already put on a posture of wanting to fight a decisive battle with our army, General Liu thinks, should our army avoid the battle, or should it fight a decisive battle with it?" ”

Liu Qing didn't think about it, and immediately said: "Of course our army should fight a decisive battle with it!" ”

Liu Xiu nodded and said, "What General Liu said is exactly what I think in my heart. As he spoke, he looked at Xie and asked, "What about Xie Shangshu's opinion?" ”

Xie bowed and said: "The thief army is so rampant, how can our army avoid it without fighting and show weakness to the thief army?" King Xiao, the lower officials think that our army must fight this battle, and moreover, it must be won! ”

Liu Xiu turned his head to look at Long Yuan and asked, "How many thieves are gathered in Dangyin?" ”

Long Yuan said: "It is reported that there are 150,000 or 60,000 people, but some of them are dependents of the thief army, so they cannot be counted as a combatable army!" ”

Liu Xiu said: "The thief army entered Wei County to loot, and the family members will not bring too much, among the 150,000 or 60,000 people, the family members should not exceed 20,000." ”

Xie Gong agreed with Liu Xiu's judgment, he frowned and said, "In this way, the strength of the thief army is not much different from our army!" ”

If his side fights more and less, he is still confident, but the current situation is that the enemy and us are equal in strength, which makes Xie Bow's heart a little bottomless.

He asked with a solemn face: "The thief army has such a large number of troops, and the reinforcements from Hedong may also arrive in Dangyin at any time, this battle is extremely dangerous for us!" Liu Xiu smiled indifferently and said meaningfully: "In a war, no matter who is strong or weak, whether it is a big battle or a small battle, there is no one who is not dangerous, and there is no one who is not immortal." Since you have decided to fight, you have to make up your mind to fight the enemy to the death

and never back down! ”

Xie bowed deeply, nodded heavily, and said, "What King Xiao said is extremely true, the lower officials have been taught!" He took a deep breath, looked at the generals under his command, and said in a loud voice: "In this battle, the soldiers of our army should fight to the death with the thief army, and if they are not successful, they will become benevolent!" ”
