Chapter 602 Pingding Yizhou
Chen Chao was killed, and 1,000 cavalry and 5,000 infantry returned to Zhonglang General Zhang Ren, who was stronger, and it was more difficult for Lu Yi to conquer the Jianmen Pass.
The army trained by Yan Yan was originally used to deal with the barbarians in the Nanzhong Mountains, so it was particularly suitable for mountain warfare.
The small force sent by Koji Yi to explore the road of Yonechang Road was all captured; They themselves were unwilling to rebel, and Yan Yan was unwilling to kill on a large scale, so after surrendering, they were disarmed and temporarily placed in centralized custody.
The situation is becoming more and more unfavorable for Koji.
After arriving in Wudu County, he issued an order not to blame those who surrendered, but only to punish the head of the Koji family.
As soon as Gao Shun ascended the throne, there was a rebellion of a general-level person like Lu Yi, and it was in the previous jurisdiction of the frustration, he was under great psychological pressure, and he was eager to quell the rebellion in the fastest time, reduce the loss to a minimum, and persuasion was the magic weapon to win.
Hu Zhen, who was stationed at Yangping Pass, took the lead in leading the soldiers to surrender, and easily recovered Yangping Pass, opening the passage to Hanzhong County and Yizhou.
Fu Zhu did not reproach Hu Zhen, and after comforting him, he ordered Hu Zhen to lead 3,000 cavalry to take the lead through the Jianmen Pass and enter Bashu, claiming that Lu Yi had been pacified.
Hu Zhen was very moved.
The Yizhou rebels were shocked, and the military advisors were frustrated, and in a few days, they pacified the tens of thousands of horses and horses in Hanzhong County, and although the number of their soldiers and horses was very large, there was a big gap between them and the combat effectiveness of the soldiers and generals, so that pessimism spread among the rebels, and many people fled.
There are also many small families, under pressure, who led people to surrender to Zhang Ren.
The frustration took advantage of the lack of information, the slow speed of transmission, and the spread of false information to increase the panic of the rebels.
Coupled with the fact that Zhao Yun, the governor of the state, had put down Jia Long's rebellion in Ba County and Chen Chao was killed, the situation in Yizhou was clear, and more people surrendered.
The arrival of Fu Zhu also had a huge effect, that is, it stabilized the barbarian forces such as Qingqiang, Baimaqiang, and Wolf Qiang in the southwest of Wudu County and the northwest of Zitong County, so that they did not dare to make any changes, and they took the initiative to send 6,000 light cavalry to befriend Fu Zhu.
In the past 20 years, he has supervised the war in the northwest and established a high reputation among the ethnic minorities in the northwest.
In the face of this situation, he was not stingy, and all the expenses in the army were the same as those of the existing troops, and after the war, they would definitely report to the emperor and be rewarded greatly.
The barbarians were happy in their hearts, not to mention anything else, just a good diet every day, which made their morale high.
At that time, most of the barbarians were attached to the Han court, and they did not have high requirements, just hoping that the Han people would treat them equally, and not bully them.
The arrival of the barbarian cavalry made the rebels even more depressed.
Under the arrangement of Fu Zhi, Zhang Ren used those surrendered families and barbarian cavalry as the backbone to quickly recover Guanghan County.
Zhao Yun led his troops back quickly, and with the assistance of the officers and soldiers of Yangjiang County, he quickly recovered Qianwei County.
The private soldiers in the rebel army are well-equipped, have more training, have a certain combat effectiveness, and have a relatively high loyalty to Zhao Yun and others; However, the combat effectiveness of those slave soldiers did not dare to compliment, and under the propaganda offensive of the government, all of them were quickly thrown into the arms of the government anyway, and the speed was so fast that it was smacking, and it was as sharp as destroying it.
At this time, Lu Yi was in distress, if he wanted to attack the rich areas of Guanzhong, not to mention that there was a large army stationed in Chang'an City in Guanzhong, just that the plank road had been burned out, and if he wanted to repair it, it would not be completed in a short time.
Yangping Pass in the west was frustrated as a war leader, and if the officers and soldiers were forced to attack, they had to be forced to rebel.
The southward movement was blocked by Bashan, and Yizhou had already prepared, so it was impossible to deploy a large force at all, and a small force was not an opponent when it went forward.
If you go east into Chuzhou, it will be even more self-defeating, there are few people there, it cannot meet the logistical needs of officers and soldiers at all, and it is easy to be surrounded by large armies.
He regretted that he had rebelled too hastily and was not well prepared; At that time, it was only considered that Hanzhong County would facilitate the uprising, but the long-term consequences were not considered.
His killer weapon was the 5,000 warriors who arrived in the camp first, but this army was better at fighting cavalry than at long-distance attacks; The cavalry is good at running, but it is not suitable for the terrain of Hanzhong and Yizhou; Those infantry were just ordinary infantry, and they were used to defend the city.
Lu Yi thought for a while and decided that only by entering Yizhou could he fight for a chance to live, and that the war leaders Ba County and Jiangzhou County could restart negotiations with the imperial court, otherwise, there would be no bargaining chips in his hands, and it would be difficult to survive, let alone his relatives at home.
So he made a decision to make his younger brother Lu Sheng sit in the south of Zhengcheng, the county of Hanzhong County; He personally went to the camp first to open up the rice cang road to Yizhou.
Who knows, three days after Lu Yi sent out his troops, the senior generals and commanders who were placed in Lu Yi's troops had a simple consultation, and they killed Lu Sheng, controlled all the cavalry and infantry, controlled Nanzheng City, cut off Lu Yi's logistics supply, and made him a lone army.
When he heard the news, he was happy in his heart, and immediately moved into Nanzheng City, and cleared the walls around Nanzheng, so that the 5,000 officers and soldiers under the jurisdiction of Lu Yi did not even have the opportunity to plunder.
Subsequently, he sent the servants of the Koji family to give the head of Koji Sheng to Koji Yi and ordered him to surrender as soon as possible.
The first battalion belonged to the heavy infantry, and it was difficult to move in the mountains, and it was difficult to trek, and there was not much success in five days.
At this time, the servant sent the head of Lu Sheng, and he knew that his subordinates had rebelled and Nanzheng City was lost, and he sighed: "God won't help me!" ”
A large gulp of blood followed.
He didn't understand why so many people's hearts were towards the court and their hearts were high and smooth; Among his existing 5,000 Xiandeng battalion and the auxiliary 5,000 infantry and 5,000 cavalry, he didn't know how many people were concerned about the imperial court and were waiting for an opportunity to counterattack.
And without the logistical supplies, he couldn't move forward, he couldn't retreat, the defeat was decided, and Lu Yi finally fell ill.
The news spread, and the morale of the army was in turmoil.
The military marquis, military Sima and others in the army took the opportunity to cause an incident, killed Lu Yi and the Lu family in the army, and then sent someone to send the head of Lu Yi to Nanzheng City first, announcing surrender and avoiding the war.
Fu Zhu didn't expect things to go so smoothly, and hurriedly sent the head of Lu Yi to Zhang Ren's office, so that he could pass on the head of Lu Yi to Yizhou and break the will of the rebels in Shu County; And immediately send someone to report to the imperial court.
In fact, these were already expected by Gao Shun; At the beginning, he just used the Koji family, but he never trusted the Koji family, and after the Koji family became bigger, he had no excuse to suppress the Koji family, so he kept dragging it out. Besides, at the beginning of Gao Shun's army, he didn't trust anyone except the system people, and there were a large number of system people in the troops under anyone's jurisdiction, and these people were his bargaining chips, and they would play a vital role at critical moments.
The rebellion in Hanzhong County was put down so easily, and Guo Jia was not showing weakness, but united with Zhao Yun, Zhang Ren and others, and sent troops at the same time; He sent a trap camp from inside the city, and cooperated with the officers and soldiers from outside, and the rebels were powerless to fight back.
When Zhang Ren and others learned that Lu Yi was killed, they had no worries, no longer worried about fighting on two fronts, and their morale was even higher.
Those barbarian people felt that the government was strong, and their choice was correct, and this was a good opportunity for them to perform, so they fought bravely and bravely, hoping to get a generous reward from His Majesty the Emperor after the war.
Those small families also regarded this as a good opportunity to establish war exploits, hoping to compensate for their mistakes by virtue of their war exploits, and the government would let them go after the war to avoid being settled by the autumn queen.
In the face of this situation, the morale of the various departments is high, and there are not many opportunities to beat the water dogs, so they are all desperately competing for military achievements, how can the rebels resist?
Lu Yi was executed, not only Zhao Wei and others lost confidence, but also those private soldiers were also demoralized.
