After Liu Feng arrived in Nanyang, he followed Xun You's instructions and handed over the defense of Nanyang with Li Feng and Chen Lan of Nanyang, and at the same time appointed Xu Huang to lead the Xiaoguo Army, Zhang Ren to lead the Flying Tiger Army to garrison Nanyang, and at the same time appointed Wen Ping and Zhang Liao to lead 50,000 Nanyang defenders to return to Hangu Pass, and practiced day and night.

After that, Liu Bei asked Chen Lan and Li Feng to find out all the military households in Nanyang County who went to Yangzhou with Yuan Shu, waited in Wancheng, Nanyang, and sent them to Yangzhou in batches after Xun You's envoy had results.

A few days later, Xun You returned to Nanyang from Runan, then returned to Chang'an, and then sent 5,000 horses from Chang'an City, and then Xun You sent another envoy to Yuzhou, sending 4,000 horses and 100 stallions to Yuzhou.

Then Liu Feng ordered Huang Xu to lead 10,000 Flying Tiger Army and 2,000 Tiger and Leopard Cavalry to send the military households that had been gathered to Yangzhou through Yuzhou, and it took half a year to escort these people to Yangzhou alone.

……

Ningliang County, Ningzhou.

Since Liu Bei escaped from the valley, he inspected the entire Ningliang County, and then discussed with Gu Yong and other Ningzhou ministers how to govern Ningliang County.

It is no different from Ningliang County, of which Haixi County has a large area, but the per capita density is low, but there are many high mountains, so the troubles are mostly hidden in the high mountains;

Yushu County, east of Ningliang County, is more densely populated, but there are fewer mountain peaks, so the horse bandits are mostly hidden among the people;

In the end, the remaining thousands of horse bandits in Ningliang County had been killed by Liu Bei, and Ningliang County, who had already fled, hid west in the mountains of Haixi County.

And the horse bandits in Huangnan County, one of the four southern counties, have been wiped out by Huang Zhong, of which nearly 3,000 horse bandits were directly killed, and the rest of the horse bandits were all imprisoned in the army, waiting for Liu Bei to be disposed of when he arrived in Huangnan County.

Now that he knew the location of the various horse bandits, Liu Bei did not wait, but divided the 7,000 army that had just been mobilized into two routes.

An army of 3,000 and an army of 600 women was led by Liu Bei himself, and Pang De, Yan Rui and Na Duo went to Haixi County to conquer several horse bandits in Haixi County;

On the other hand, an army of 4,000 led by Zhao Yun, and Wen Chou, Wang Wei and others will go to Yushu County to prepare to conquer several horse bandits in Yushu County!

…………

Liu Bei led more than 3,000 troops to Haixi County ten days later, and the largest horse bandit in Haixi County at this time was just 4,000 people.

"My lord, there are about 4,000 horse bandits in the bandits' den ahead, and they are the horse bandits who escaped from the valley before! Since the previous battle with the lord, these horse bandits no longer have the courage to go out of the mountains to plunder! "The scouts who went to probe have returned!

"In this way, there should be no suspense in this battle, pass my order, and order Yan Rui, Pang De, and Naduo to lead an army of 1,000 each and attack the horse bandits on the left, right, and the rear of the horse bandits.

And only list the momentum, no need to really attack, I want to try to see if I can recruit this bandit first! Liu Bei ordered!

Then, Liu Bei led 600 women's troops along the way to attack like a cottage, Ningzhou's horse bandits have a characteristic, in order to facilitate their own horses, the selected camps are open peaks on all sides.

Although it is still easy to defend and difficult to attack, because it is open, there are slopes on all sides that allow the enemy to attack the camp of the mountain peak, so this also makes Liu Bei besiege on all sides.

In addition to Liu Bei, Na Duo, Yan Rui and Pang De also had different tactics for attacking the hillside, Na Duo obeyed Liu Bei's orders and attacked the mountain with a thousand cavalry, showing full momentum, but not attacking at all;

Pound divided the 1,000 cavalry into four groups, and tied several horses to the tails of each group, and slowly killed them on the mountain, creating a situation of 10,000 troops killing the horse bandits on the mountain;

And Yan Rui took advantage of his relationship with Yan Yan to bring many banners from Yan Yan's army, and one thousand people insisted on playing the banner of six or seven thousand people, and then slowly attacked the mountain, which also gave the horse bandits a situation where the army was approaching!

Liu Bei led the army to the halfway up the mountain, because the mountain road in front of the net would be slightly steeper, so Liu Bei sent people to the cottage to recruit the horse bandits!

The surrender of the horse bandits is not because Liu Bei can't defeat them, but because these horse bandits are the future of Ningzhou, and they are Liu Bei's future soldiers, and the second rebellion is mainly because of the drought and the demagogy of some aristocratic slave owners, Liu Bei believes that as long as Chengping is four or five years old, these people can truly integrate into the Han!

The envoy entered the mountain without dishonoring his mission, and successfully made more than 4,000 horse bandits on the mountain descend the mountain and surrender! Liu Bei's conditions for this group of horse bandits are also very simple:

First, if they do not surrender, one of the horse bandits on the mountain will be counted as one, and all of them will be executed along with their families, and none of them will be left;

Second, those who take the initiative to go down the mountain and surrender, whether it is the bandit leader or the ordinary horse bandits, can not be blamed in the past, but the bandit leader needs to go to the hinterland of the Han Dynasty!

Third, ordinary horse bandits were sent home after surrendering, but they needed to be registered, and after they married a wife and had children in the future, they needed to join the army and fight for Liu Bei in the world, of course, all the treatment was the same as ordinary people!

Fourth, in this great drought, Liu Bei will give each family enough food so that they can survive safely, and will not pursue this rebellion in the future!

Through these four points, more than 4,000 horse bandits on the mountain have seen hope, originally the bandit leader was not very willing to surrender, and wanted to have a duel with Liu Bei, but he couldn't stand too many ordinary horse bandits, and finally when he saw that he was going to be tied up, the bandit leader reluctantly agreed to surrender!

With the surrender of these more than 4,000 horse bandits, it will be relatively easy to exterminate Zhao'an of more than a dozen horse bandits in Haixi County, except for two shares, a total of almost 2,000 horse bandits who resisted stubbornly and were all killed, the other more than 9,000 horse bandits all surrendered to Liu Bei!

In a month and a half, Liu Bei put down the rebellion in Xihai County, and at the same time, Liu Bei also complied with the conditions previously prescribed, and all the horse bandits who stubbornly resisted to the end were beheaded for public display, along with their families, a total of six or seven thousand!

At the same time, Liu Bei also transferred a large amount of grain from Ningliang County to solve the food shortage caused by the drought in Haixi County.

At the same time, the 4,000 army led by Zhao Yun went to attack Yushu and was indeed met with stubborn resistance from some horse bandits!

The horse bandits in Yushu County learned that Liu Bei had arrived in Ningliang County, and at the same time wanted to exterminate the horse bandits from all walks of life. Therefore, there are three groups of horse bandits with about 2,000 people, but they are united and ready to resist stubbornly!

In this regard, Zhao Yun was not angry, but directly set up a formation, and then prepared to fight with six thousand horse bandits with a dignified and upright army!

Wen Chou and Wang Wei led 1,500 cavalry to break through the horse bandit formation from the right and left respectively, while Zhao Yun led 1,000 troops to attack the enemy camp from the front!

The three thieves of the same horse bandit camp also saw Zhao Yun's intentions, so they also led two thousand people to meet them, but Wang Wei, Wen Chou and Zhao Yun were too fierce, and after two or two faces, in just one round, the three thieves were cut to the ground!

Then where were the remaining 6,000 horse bandits who were uncommanded by Zhao Yun and the others, and they were slashed and killed for a while, and finally the remaining 4,000 horse bandits knelt on the ground to Zhao Yun and begged for mercy, so that Zhao Yun easily won the first battle!

After Zhao Yun followed Liu Bei's order, all the families of the 2,000 horse bandits who died in the stubborn resistance were shown to the public, and the 4,000 horse bandits who surrendered were temporarily incorporated into the army, and they were registered and repatriated home after the pacification of Yushu County!!

After that, Zhao Yun's road to quelling the Yushu rebellion was much easier. There was the deterrence of the whole family who resisted stubbornly, and the propaganda of surrendering 4,000 horse bandits, and the horse bandits surrendered one after another almost without any further fighting!

Then Zhao Yun, like Liu Bei, led the army back to Ningliang County!
