Chapter 84: Bloody Counterinsurgency

Early in the morning of the second day, after Liu Xiu knelt down to thank Ouyang Xuan again, he took Zhong Zhao and more than 100,000 'elite' elite divisions out of the mountain pass and killed the lands of Hebei. kxs7.com, the latest chapter access:. Ouyang Xuan watched Liu Xiu and the others disappear from view on the mountain beam before returning to the base of Taihang Mountain.

Liu Xiu took these more than 100,000 men and horses, rushed all the way to kill, and pacified the Hebei provinces in less than half a year, so that the Red Mei Army gave up going to Hebei. In March 25 AD, Liu Xiu waved his army to the south, garrisoned in Shanxian County, summoned the generals to inquire about the situation in the Quartet, and the generals also told the truth, Liu Xiu Feng Zhong Zhao was the general of the unified army, commanding the men and horses, and the Mengjin general Feng Yi was stationed in Hanoi County together to deter Luoyang. Deng Yu led his troops westward, surrounded Anyi, and directly deterred Hangu Pass. Zhu Kun originally wanted to take advantage of Liu Xiu's northward advance to attack Hanoi County, but was defeated by Kou Xun and Feng Yi, and in the end he had to hold Luoyang tightly and did not dare to act rashly. The Red Eyebrow Army walked to the line of Hua'yin' Yingchuan and went straight to Hanzhong to kill. Liu Xiu ordered Deng Yu to deliberately let the Red Mei Army advance westward.

In June 25 AD, under the persuasion of the generals, Liu Xiu ascended the throne as the emperor with the south of the county, changed the Yuan and Jianwu, and granted amnesty to the world. After Ouyang Xuan learned that Liu Xiu was proclaimed emperor, he gave a generous gift in the name of the Holy Emperor of Huaxia in a high-profile manner, with millions of stones of grain and grass, 10,000 catties of gold, and 10,000 high-quality horses. At the same time, there is a lion ornament carved by Ouyang Xuan personally carved the best Hetian 'jade', Ouyang Duo also sent a congratulatory gift as the emperor of China at the same time, and the gift team started from Juyong Pass, stretching for several miles, so that passers-by were all surprised by the wealth of China. Ouyang Xuan admired Ouyang Duo's move very much, such a blatant gift, but it was announced to the world that Huaxia only recognized the Jianwu regime and only recognized Liu Xiu, the emperor. The Chang'an regime, which was already in turmoil and bloody rain, became even more uneasy. In the case of the Red Mei Army's army pressing the border, Zhang Wei and others proposed to Liu Xuan: The Red Mei is coming, and soon after seeing the annihilation, the Huaxia State will hold the Jianwu, it is better to plunder Chang'an and return to Nanyang in the east; If you don't collect, you will re-enter the lake and pool for stealing your ears! Such a ridiculous suggestion, of course, was rejected by Liu Xuan. In the end, these people 'wanted' to capture Liu Xuan as a hostage, ready to implement the plan, but were discovered by Liu Xuan, when they wanted to kill Zhang Wei, Liao Zhan, Hu Yin, Shen Tujian and others, they were detected, and hurriedly killed Shen Tujian, Zhang Wei, Liao Zhan, Hu Yin led the troops to attack Weiyang Palace, Liu Xuan fled to the east to Zhao Meng in Xinfeng, Kui Huan led the troops to Tianshui and Gaoping, and stood on his own with troops.

The first emperor Liu Xuan in Xinfeng suspected Wang Kuang, Chen Mu, Cheng Dan and others, in the name of setting up a banquet, beheaded Chen Mu and Cheng Dan, Wang Kuang Dexin immediately led the troops to flee, and in Chang'an and Zhang Wei and others joined forces to reject Liu Xuan, Liu Xuan united Zhao Meng and Li Song to besiege Chang'an for several months, defeating Wang Kuang, Zhang Wei and others. Wang Kuang and Zhang Wei led the troops to flee, surrendered to the westward Red Mei Army in Gaoling, and jointly attacked Chang'an, and in September 25 AD, the Red Mei Army captured Li Song alive, broke through Chang'an, Liu Xuan fled, and then surrendered the Red Mei Army in desperation, and offered the 'jade' seal of the country. Under the protection of Liu Gong, the elder brother of Liu Penzi, the emperor of the Red Eyebrow Army, he was successively named the Marquis of Weiwei and the King of Changsha.

Zhu Kun and Li Yi, who were guarding Luoyang, were 'confused' by several letters from Feng Yi before the 'rebellion' in Chang'an, and finally Zhu Kun sent someone to assassinate Li Yi. Leaving Zhu Kun alone to guard Luoyang, in September Liu Xiu sent Zhong Zhao and Feng Yibing to surround Luoyang, under the persuasion of Cen Peng, Zhu Kun surrendered, and in October Liu Xiu entered Luoyang, at this time Liu Xuan surrendered to the Red Mei Army. The Red Eyebrow Army started another raid in the land of Guanzhong, which made the people who had been plundered by the Green Forest Army miserable, and regretted that they should not have immigrated to China in the first place. In December, the grain in Guanzhong ran out, and after scraping the ground for three feet and finding nothing, the people began to miss the first emperor again, which made Zhang Wei and others very frightened, and dragged the generals of the Red Mei Army to kill Liu Xuan. Because of the lack of food, the Red Mei army had to go west to attack Kuihuan, defeated, had to return to Chang'an again, at this time Liu Xiu ordered Deng Yu to lead the troops to attack Chang'an, Deng Yu was defeated, only with more than 2,000 people fled back to Luoyang.

In January of the 26th year of AD, due to lack of food, the Red Mei Army had to withdraw from Guanzhong again, return to Shandong from the north, and was defeated by Zhong Zhao, Feng Yi and others on the way, Deng Yu once again went west to occupy Chang'an, appeased the few people. () But he was defeated by the Red Mei Army who returned from defeat, and several defeats made Deng Yu's prestige decline day by day, and many of the counties and counties originally occupied turned to the Red Mei Army. The Red Eyebrow army became more violent when they returned to Chang'an this time, and began to excavate the imperial tomb, especially insulting the corpse of Empress LΓΌ. But when the Red Mei Army wanted to dig Yangling and Maoling, it was defeated by unknown forces, and the corpses of the Red Mei Army around Yangling and Maoling were piled up like a mountain, and when the Red Mei Army was about to set fire to the palace, they were also dizzy by the sudden attack, so they had to camp their troops under the city. After Deng Yu's repeated defeats, Liu Xiu had no choice but to order Zhong Zhao to lead 100,000 'elite' soldiers to Guanzhong. This is Zhong Zhao's first independent battle, with 100,000 'elite' divisions, swept through Guanzhong, and killed more than 500,000 Red Mei Army, Red Mei Army under the joint suppression of Zhong Zhao and Yulin Army, had to return from Hangu Guandong, and was intercepted and killed by Liu Xiu on the road, and the Red Mei generals took Liu Penzi and the 'jade' seal of the country to surrender in front of Liu Xiu. Liu Xiu agreed to the surrender of the Red Mei Army, collected the looted goods of the Red Mei Army, and disbanded the Red Mei Army on the spot, and a few months later, Liu Xiu beheaded many generals of the Red Mei Army on the charge of rebellion, and the peasant rebel army, which was second only to Huangchao in history, withdrew from the stage of history.

Liu Xiu did not move the capital to Chang'an, but continued to stay in Luoyang and began the process of conquering the whole country. Zhong Zhao defeated the Kui Huan tribes in Guanzhong, killed Kui Huan, recovered Tianshui County and Gaoping, and pacified Guanzhong in one fell swoop. At the same time, Liu Xiu sent all the soldiers and horses to the road is also overwhelming, in August of the twenty-seventh year of AD, the entire Han land except Shu is all Liu Xiu leveled. According to Ouyang Xuan's deployment, the Huaxia army stationed in Shu in September withdrew from Shu after Liu Xiu sent someone to take over, and returned to Guizhou through Changsha County, and there was no war in the whole territory of Han since then.

After Liu Xiu was settled in the world, and in October of the 27th year of A.D., Liu Xiu was a great hero in Luoyang, and Zhong Zhao was named the Taifu, Xianyang Hou, and was rejected by Zhong Zhao, and went away with the Yulin Army under his command, and disappeared in the Han Dynasty since then, Liu Xiu built an edict pavilion in Luoyang in order to commemorate Zhong Zhao's merits. According to the agreement, Liu Xiu sent Deng Yu as an envoy to Xiagu in Huaxia to discuss border and tribute matters.

Now Huaxia is also in a bunch of troubles, and he has no time to pay attention to the envoy of the Han Court, so he just sent an official of the Ministry of Rites for a brief discussion. Ouyang Duo now has no time to separate, the people of Xingzhou, under the instigation of Confucianism, gathered 200,000 soldiers and horses led by 10,000 retired veterans, killed the officials of various counties in Xingzhou and rebelled, Ouyang Xuan had to recall the troops stationed abroad in the country of rest to return to China to quell the rebellion, because most of those veterans were retired from various departments in the country, but there was no foreign army, and the conscripted troops could not do anything to these people for a while, Ouyang Xuan had to transfer the foreign army back to counterinsurgency; The Xianbei people also took the opportunity to send troops to the West Sea (Qinghai Lake); The most hateful is the Roman Empire, when the foreign troops withdrew, united with the rest of the country, led by the Roman Guards general Pudava, with 100,000 troops to attack the border of Xingzhou and Zhanzhou in China; The Huns, who were not willing to be subordinated to others, did not know which tendon was wrong, gathered 500,000 troops to launch a fierce attack on the border of Muzhou, at the cost of losing 300,000 people, conquered the important town of Heyang Pass on the border of Muzhou, and went deep into Muzhou for 100 miles, and was strongly resisted by the Chinese army and people, and now the war is maintained on the line of Heyang County (now Makat City, Kazakhstan), and all this 'chaos' situation occurred in June 27 AD.

Ouyang Xuan urgently returned to Xia Gu from the Taihang base, and ordered as the Holy Emperor of Taishang that Li Mu led the troops stationed abroad to exterminate the rebels, and Peng Fei led the western army to resist the Roman coalition along the Great Wall, waiting for an opportunity; Zhao Yan led the Flying Tiger Army, the Headquarters Army and the Qiang Army to suppress the Xianbei people; Ouyang Xuan led the Yulin Army and part of the northern army to conquer the Xiongnu. In the twenty-seventh year of A.D., in August of the one hundred and forty-sixth year of China, the armies were assembled, and Ouyang Xuan personally killed the Roman, Xiongnu, Xianbei envoys and Kong Yi, the leading figure of Chinese Confucianism, and swore to go on the expedition. Ouyang Xuan stood on the platform of the generals, and said loudly to the emperor Ouyang Duo, the generals who went out on the expedition, and the officials at all levels stationed in Beijing: "Since the founding of the country, I have often said that those who offend my Huaxia Tianwei will be punished even if they are far away. Now that many places have despised my existence and started wars, and I am still alive, I will not be allowed to have any more people who have ruined my Chinese people. I solemnly promise here: to kill the enemies who intrude, the people who do not obey, and not hesitate to stain the rivers with blood, and the corpses are like mountains. Now the generals will go out on the expedition, and I will order, not to leave prisoners, and not to accept surrender. (Read the novel to update it as soon as possible) those who do not submit will punish their clans, and those who intruder will slaughter their clans and destroy their country. The generals understand."

The soldiers and officials in the audience are also enthusiastic now, this is the voice of the strong. Sentence: I'm alive, it's a deterrent. Huaxia has never been merciful to the enemy, so this time it is likely to be another battle of corpses and blood. shouted in unison: "Respect the order of the Holy Emperor, Huaxia is mighty!" ”。 The loudest shouter was Ouyang Duo, who was originally going to drive the expedition in person, but because he had to arrange logistics supplies, he had to stay in Xia Gu temporarily, and let Zhao Yan lead the troops to settle the judgment first.

Ouyang Xuan's high-profile move really made the Xianbei people and the Huns fearful, they had all experienced Ouyang Xuan's ruthlessness. In October, when Liu Xiu's envoy Deng Yu arrived in Xia Valley, the Chinese army began a full-scale counteroffensive. The first to attack was the Flying Tiger Army and the Qiang Army led by Zhao Yan, in the mountains of Haibei County on the east side of the West Sea. On the vast grassland of Yin' County, the two armies lined up to fight each other, the Xianbei people used 300,000 troops, almost all of their soldiers and horses, this battle, Zhao Yan took the lead, led the Flying Tiger Army as the Chinese army, launched a fierce attack on the Xianbei army array, Xian Yu obediently returned from the Han land, temporarily acting as the governor of the Qiang Army, but also not to be left behind, from the flank into the enemy formation, this battle Huaxia sent 400,000 troops, launched a comprehensive attack on the Xianbei army in a vast area of nearly 100 miles. As the commander, while leading the troops to rush and kill, Zhao Yan also constantly arranged the offensive line and speed of the soldiers and horses of each department through the flag. Under the command of the Chinese army, the Huaxia Army sometimes encircled, sometimes attacked in parallel, sometimes advanced with sharp arrows, and constantly changed its tactics when marching and fighting. The various departments echo each other in an orderly manner, and the offense and defense are coordinated. The battle lasted for a whole day, from sunrise to moonrise. The 300,000 Xianbei army collapsed in front of the unpredictable Huaxia army formation, and until the end of the battle, all the 300,000 troops were killed, and none of them escaped the net, and Ouyang Xuan's order not to leave prisoners was well executed. The losses of the Huaxia Army were also not small, with 30,000 killed and more than 100,000 wounded, including more than 20,000 seriously wounded.

After the end of the war, Zhao Yan ordered Xian Yushun to be responsible for the transportation and treatment of the wounded, reorganized the army, and assigned 100,000 people to be responsible for transporting and treating the wounded. Because Connecticut is mountainous, Ouyang Xuan sent Zhao Yan, who knew more about the mountainous areas, to command. Zhao Yan really lived up to expectations, leading the army in the mountainous area sometimes combined attack, sometimes divided the troops, out of the ghost, first slaughtered the Xianbei tribe out of Qiangzhou, and then entered the territory of Kangzhou, Xianbei troops fled in the wind, and the slightly slower became the ghost of the Chinese saber. Wherever the army passed, as long as it was a Xianbei person, there was no survivor. The Xianbei people had no choice but to cross the border between China and Han to enter Shudi, and settled in Tianshui County and Qinling Mountains arranged by Han officials, and the Xianbei people who fled into Han Land were millions of people, and then entered Beidi County through Tianshui County, and gradually divided into several large tribes, and since then they have been living in the Shanxi Mountains until four hundred years later, when the disaster 'chaos' in China.

The Xianbei clan in Kangzhou was suppressed by Zhaoyan's army and quickly emptied in less than a month. Xian Yushun, who has always been his deputy, admired it very much, especially the elusive way of fighting, and later simply followed Zhao Yan to become a student willingly. At the end of the Battle of Kangzhou, the army on the Xingzhou side was still marching on foot under the obstruction of the people. It was also a mountainous area, and under Xian Yushun's strong recommendation, Ouyang Xuan had no choice but to negotiate with Ouyang Duo to recruit the Flying Tiger Army and cooperate with Li Mu to go to Xingzhou to quell the rebellion. When heading to Xingzhou, Zhao Yan chose to cross the Green Ridge from the sandbank and directly raid the rear towns occupied by the Xingzhou rebels.

In November, Zhao Yan led the army from Qiangzhou by train in the name of military maneuvers to Yecheng County on Shazhou, where he crossed the Green Mountains. It was a challenge to climb over the snowy mountains in winter, but for Zhao Yan, who was extremely familiar with the mountains, it was not a difficult task, and after Yecheng was equipped, he led the five thousand Flying Tiger Army to the west into the vast green mountains.

When Ouyang Xuan, who was far away in Muzhou to clear the invasion of the Huns, heard the news, he also sweated for Zhao Yan, it was better to cross that section of the green ridge in summer, but it was difficult to cross there in winter. But Ouyang Xuan admired Zhao Yan's courage very much, whether it was the battle in Qiangdi or the clean-up in Kangzhou, through the battle report and Xian Yushun's report, it was completely the demeanor of a general. If this time it is successful to cross the green ridge, it will be a classic battle that can go down in history.

There were no big 'waves' on Ouyang Xuan's side, and the Huns had already scattered and fled before Ouyang Xuan's army arrived, and most of them withdrew from the pass. Those who had not had time to withdraw from the pass were divided and surrounded and annihilated by the Huaxia army, and their bodies were hung on the edge of the buffer zone outside the pass. Ouyang Xuan did not give the order to go out of the customs to pursue, because this year's winter was too cold, and the snow did not fall much. Ouyang Xuan left part of his troops to continue to clear the remnants of the Huns in the pass, defend the border pass, and led the Yulin army south along the Great Wall to support Peng Fei's battle against the Roman coalition army. But in Manzhou (the area east of the Caspian Sea) was blocked by the local people, which made Ouyang Xuan's anger reach the extreme, standing in front of the military train, looking at the people who blocked the movement of the train, the anger in Ouyang Xuan's heart has reached the extreme, if nothing else, it is because these people are dismantling the railroad tracks and completely cutting off the train line to Xingzhou.

Ouyang Xuan rode the Xuanyuan horse and shouted: "Ouyang Xuan is here, how dare you make a mistake?" This sound of breaking off made the hearts of those people who were buried in destroying the railway tremble, and some of the timid 'legs' were already paralyzed as mud. Ouyang Xuan then shouted loudly: "You and others obstruct the rebellion of the army, and you are guilty of complicity in rebellion, and you should punish the nine clans according to the law." I don't wait for you on weekdays, but I still have to support the rebels, don't blame me for being ruthless, I hate people who eat inside and outside the most in my life. Today, there are Roman coalition troops outside the territory, and there are Confucian scholars who 'bewitch' the civilian rebellion', and anyone who obstructs the march of the army will be killed. I will give you half an hour to disperse quickly, otherwise I will not blame me for being ruthless. Back then, I killed 50,000 wealthy families in the capital, and if you break the law, I will kill them the same." After Ouyang Xuan finished speaking, he turned his horse back to the train and ordered the entire Yulin Army to prepare for an attack.

With the transmission of the order, the 50,000 Yulin troops were neatly draped, lined up in front of the formation and the car, ready to attack at any time. And the people who were obstructing them were about to disperse, when suddenly one of them shouted: "Don't be afraid of the threat of demons, those who have lived for a hundred and eighty years have never heard of it." If you want to surpass the Yellow Emperor, it is the sin of great rebellion. We are the ancestors of the ancients, and we have the obligation to crusade against evil. You are unarmed, how dare you kill? Don't be alarmed, follow me to the demons." No matter what the man said, the people dispersed, and at last less than a thousand people were left standing in front of the army. They were not afraid of anything, but out of respect for Ouyang Xuan, after all, the life in China today was brought by Ouyang Xuan. They were not faithful Confucian defenders, and they were not guilty of martyrdom for Confucianism.

As time slowly passed, these thousands of people trembled in front of the military formation, they were gambling, betting that Ouyang Xuan had never slaughtered the people of Huaxia all these years. But they were wrong, and they were very wrong, when half an hour passed, the sword in Ouyang Xuan's hand pointed forward, and the Yulin Army did not hesitate to charge forward, raising the butcher's knife against these Confucian scholars, and killing 1,700 people, the shouter was captured alive, and after interrogation, it was learned that it was a Han war. During the turmoil, the Confucian scholars of Nanyang who fled to China through Connecticut settled in Xingzhou with their families, but because of Ouyang Xuan's policy of exterminating Confucianism and paying attention to the national law of equality in life, it was difficult for him to adapt, so he listened to the 'bewitchment' of other Confucian scholars, and pulled the refugees who had just settled here without knowing the truth to rebel. But they never imagined that the Huaxia army would be so strong and move so fast, and he had to be sent to the marching route to block the advance of the army, and even destroy the railway artery connecting the north and south of the west, which shows that these people do not understand Huaxia, and even have some fear of these products that transcend the times. Ouyang Xuan did not give the scholars who were captured alive a good time, but hung a sign for them that read in support of the rebel Confucian students, tied to the pillar in a large font, and lit candles on the lower part of the upper arm and the lower part of the inner part of the big 'leg', and roasted them alive, and the location was located in a city not far from here. The clansmen of more than 1,000 scholars were also captured by the Yulin Army overnight, and in front of them, both men and women, young and old, were all beheaded, and there were 10,000 people. Let these captured Confucian scholars wail again and again, begging bitterly, but Ouyang Xuan was unmoved. As the number of people who needed to be killed increased, Ouyang Xuan gave another order to bury him alive. Although this order was cruel, but the shock to Confucianism was strong, since then the Confucian scholars did not dare to set foot in China for three hundred years, because of the influence of China, Confucianism in the Han land also declined day by day, until Xianbei 'chaos' Hua, those captured Confucian students were burned by candles for four days before they died.

Ouyang Xuan urgently ordered Nie Sheng to repair the damaged railway, which ensured that the troops stationed abroad arrived on time in the mountainous area where the rebels were entrenched. Adopt a point-by-point clearing method to compress the rebel territory little by little. For these rebels, the troops stationed abroad were also killers, and they strictly implemented Ouyang Xuan's orders, and the rebels' clans were also wiped out. The 200,000 rebels and their families were also taken to the occupied area of the Xingzhou rebels before the uprising. Whenever the garrison occupied a place, the rebels' families were screened and arrested, and then sent to the desert to be buried alive, with extremely cruel methods. Zhao Yan also lived up to expectations, and after entering the Green Ridge for a month, he successfully led the Flying Tiger Army out of the valley, launched a surprise attack on the rear of the rebels, occupied the rebels' grain and grass base and arsenal, and burned the fire. Then he drove straight into the rebels' lair, a small town in the mountains of Xingzhou. There, the Flying Tigers captured the leader of the rebels, Huo Mao, a Confucian master who had been chased from Jizhou to Xingzhou by Huang Tingzhong, and a 'bastard' who took more than a dozen wives in spite of Huaxia's laws. In this small town, Caspian captured many wealthy families who fled from the Han land, including the Li family who fled to the Han land, and they were the biggest financiers of the rebellion. Also seized and the Xiongnu Shan Yu, the Roman Hao family, the Xianbei chieftain, the Murwei chieftain correspondence, as well as several letters with a person named Liu De, judging by the content of the letter, the initiator of the Chinese 'rebellion' is this Liu De, and the executor is a person named Ouyang Pa, but this person's whereabouts are now unknown.

With the gradual advancement of the encirclement and suppression armies from all directions, the rebels were driven to a barren mountain and deep valley, after Zhao Yan and Li Mu converged in the town, replenished their equipment, and after reconnoitring along the valley, they finally suggested to Li Mu that they should use fire to attack, Li Mu really couldn't do anything to these Chinese veterans, so he had to ask Ouyang Xuan. Ouyang Xuan, who was fighting with the Romans at the border pass, understood Li Mu's feelings very well, even if he couldn't do it himself, it was more appropriate to let the fledgling Zhao Yan do it, and finally Ouyang Xuan ordered Zhao Yan to be fully responsible for the final purge. Zhao Yan's approach is actually very simple, using the direction of the wind to open the 'spring', in the upwind port ignited a kind of artemisia grass with poisonous 'nature', blown to the valley under the action of the wind, five days later, after the oxidation of the poisonous smoke lost its poisonous 'nature', the army entered the valley, the poisoned weak rebels were wiped out. The leader was none other than Ouyang Pa, who bit his tongue and committed suicide while being captured. The rebels' families were also punished because of Ouyang Xuan's orders. This time there were a large number of people, Ouyang Xuan showed no mercy at all, and buried the families of these rebels alive in a desert in Xingzhou in front of the rebels, and the rebels were also sentenced to death after screening and interrogation. The 200,000 rebels were buried alive in the desert west of Heungju. Counting their families, nearly a million people lost their lives in this counterinsurgency, and many of them were Chinese meritorious people. This time, the bloody thunderous means of quelling the 'chaos' completely disintegrated the power of Confucianism in China, and since then no one has dared to touch Confucianism for 400 years, and people out of awe of Ouyang Xuan, even when the war is 'chaotic', they do not dare to move the railway in the slightest.

After the internal settlement was completed, Ouyang Xuan began to deal with the Roman coalition forces and the Huns from the outside. However, Zhao Yan's 'handover' of the seized letter gave Ouyang Xuan a headache, and he had to urgently recruit Zhong Zhao, who was still on vacation in Australia, to set up an intelligence bureau and begin to investigate this person named Liu De. This reminded Ouyang Xuan of the one-armed man who had been secretly against him.

Just when Ouyang Xuan was still worried about the one-armed man, in the autumn of 28 AD, Liu Xiu passed through the base of Nantaihang and transferred a letter to Ouyang Xuan, and history opened a new chapter.
