[170] Song Jiang appeared

The wind was blowing in the sky, and it hurt like a knife on the face, and occasionally snowflakes fell, in the treetops, on the shoulders, and then swirled and fell to the ground, and in an instant they were stained by the dirty dirt, and these trampled dirt, mixed with snow water, showed a very rich brown, and then some blood fell out of nowhere, dyed dark red, and then, a human head rolled down, with a hideous eyes that had not yet dissipated, and a scarred face. But no one cares, this happens here all the time, and the deafening shouts of killing startle the jackdaws, and they fly even higher, staring down with palpitating eyes, and when these people are gone, they can come down for a good meal.

When the cavalry fights, the best way to see the strengths of the Zhangba spear and the like, but in close quarters white-knuckle combat, there is no better weapon than the wide-backed broadsword, the spear can not move the body, the long sword is not lethal enough, it is inconvenient, and the heavy broadsword is waved, and there is a person on the Huangquan Road.

They are all Chinese people, and they are all of Yanhuang blood, but at this moment, they represent different forces, different beliefs, different desires, and cannibalism.

There is no skill to speak of, in fact, it is impossible to show skill in so many people, everyone just holds the weapon in their hands, looks at the six ways, listens to the eight directions, and if anyone can threaten their lives, the broadsword will not hesitate to greet whom.

The snow on the ground had melted, mixed with rotting leaves and the corpses of soldiers, and there was a strong fishy smell, and the crows were shouting for the delicious food that was coming.

From morning until noon, then into the afternoon. At night. Late at night. For two days and one night, this place became a hell on earth, and hundreds of thousands of lives passed, and Huangquan Road was overcrowded.

But in the end, the Song army won, even if the combat effectiveness is low, the numerical advantage is still there, and the duty as a Great Song soldier is still there, they spent two days and one night. Give a bloody lesson to these rebels who dare to provoke the imperial power of the Great Song Dynasty.

Then Fang La retreated with the remnants of the defeated army, they were already very tired, they couldn't walk steadily, they couldn't get on the horse, not only physically tired, but also mentally tired, in the past few months, they abandoned the crops in the fields, left their wives and children, and lost the New Year. But in the end, nothing was gained. They feel that maybe they should be at home now, even though they can't live a life of eating meat. But every month, I can go to the street to bring some good things back to the children's tooth sacrifice. But now that all this is gone, the living may still have the option to go back, but the sacrificed cannot even find the complete bones.

In short, they retreated, Fang La also left, he did not die, maybe in the near future he will raise the banner of righteousness again and make a comeback, or maybe he will become honest after this experience, find a place, cultivate a few acres of thin fields, and live a life where chickens and dogs smell each other. Although he made mistakes, but the world is so big, there will still be a place for him.

Zhou Yi and the Huotou army had already prepared a sumptuous delicacies to welcome these Great Song Dynasty soldiers who had returned triumphantly, and they had once again made meritorious contributions and defended Zhao Ji's will.

Then, at the top of the mountain, a very deep pit was dug out, and then the corpses, whether they belonged to the rebels or the Great Song soldiers, were invited in, and then they were filled in, and a high grave was built, even higher than the hill next to it. Then a stone tablet was erected, and on the stone tablet was written the sacrificial text of Tong Guan's handwriting.

In this battle, the soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty sacrificed a total of 170,000 people, more than half of the losses, only more than 120,000 people were left with combat effectiveness, and the opposite Fang La was almost wiped out, and the defeated rout was less than 10,000 people.

No matter how big the loss is, in short, it is a win, even if there is only one person left, when the news reaches Zhao Ji, he will be happy, as long as he has the result, he will not consider anything else.

The war is over, at least for Zhou Yi, the 50,000 people he recruited are now 40,000 left, which has to be said to be a miracle, but he has to give an account to them and their families about the 10,000 people who died, so after separating from Tong Guan, Zhou Yi took people back to Zhending Mansion. Tong Guan tried his best to invite him into the capital to ask for merit and reward, and Zhou Yi said that these credits were first attributed to Guogong, and I was just by the way, and did not contribute. So Tong Guan was very happy, saying that he would definitely fight for enough benefits for Zhou Yi in the capital.

Zhou Yi rode a horse and walked at the front of the team, as long as he didn't fight, he felt that the world was still very beautiful. Behind him, there were these recruited soldiers, Zhou Yi was thinking about what reason to use to leave Yue Fei behind, this talent must not be missed.

All the way to Zhending Mansion, it was already March when the grass was growing and the warbler was flying, the weather was warm, and hundreds of people poured onto both sides of the road to greet the heroes who returned triumphantly. Subsequently, Zhou Yi made a detailed report on the battle in the open space in the industrial zone, and the families of those sacrificed soldiers received a pension of fifty yuan, which has exceeded the standard of the imperial court, but Zhou Yi still felt that it was less, a life, fifty yuan, it was really cheap. But he knew that this could not be measured so much, if he was really serious, the 10,000 people who sacrificed were all found by himself, and now that they are dead, then he should commit suicide 10,000 times. It can't be counted that way.

After dealing with the matter of pensions, some of these recruited people dispersed and became farmers again, while those who had the ambition to serve the country, or those who wanted to become officials through this road, Zhou Yi kept them and incorporated them into the army team of Zhending Mansion.

Even Yue Fei is no exception, although Zhou Yi knows that he is a powerful character, but Bao Jianfeng is sharpened from the sharpening and follows him as a small follower, which is definitely to say that a talent like Yue Fei is ruined.

Zhou Yi felt that soldiers are soldiers, and businessmen are businessmen, and the two cannot be confused, so the soldiers of Zhending Mansion have been banned from doing business since Zhou Yi came, and they practice every day, according to Zhou Yi's training method, with Guo Sheng and Lin Chong, plus the previous Yi Yingfeng, Zhou Yi believes that such a lineup is definitely the first in the Great Song Dynasty. The soldiers trained in this way are absolutely strong in combat. Those old and weak soldiers with low combat effectiveness, Zhou Yi did not hesitate to send them home, and those who mixed the army's salary, no matter how big the background, drove them away directly - as a small soldier in this Zhending Mansion, the background of the family is estimated to be no bigger than Zhou Yi's back.

After dealing with all the things, Zhou Yi returned home, Tang Huan immediately came out to greet her, she had a happy smile on her face, Zhou Yi had not yet entered the door, her whole person was already hanging on Zhou Yi's body, she has the gentleness unique to Jiangnan women and the reserve of Chinese women, but she also has unreserved direct admiration and fiery emotions.

"Our family celebrates the New Year today." Tang Huan said.

Zhou Yi pinched her nose with a smile and said, "Okay, today is today, I declare that today is the Chinese New Year's Eve of our family." ”

The words of the head of the family were the supreme order, and the entire Zhou Mansion immediately took action, and if there was really an atmosphere of the New Year, Tang Huan waited for Zhou Yi to take a bath and clothes, and then there was a lot of charm.

Not long ago, Tong Guan ordered his staff Dong Yun to make an edict in the name of Song Huizong, announcing the dismissal of the Suzhou and Hangzhou Yingfeng Bureau, the Creation Bureau and the Huashi Gang. Song Huizong also dismissed Zhu Mian's father and son and their relatives.

Besides, this Fang La, he is really not a peaceful person, not long after fighting with Zhou Yitong and them, he regained his strength and made a comeback.

When the Fangla rebel army on the east and west routes to the north suffered serious setbacks, the main force of the rebel army in the south won many victories, successively capturing Wuzhou and its Kaihua, Jiangshan, Changshan and other counties, as well as Quzhou, Chuzhou and most of its rural towns, and its strength reached hundreds of miles of Rao and Xin.

However, due to the defeat of the rebel army on the north side, it lost the strength to prevent the official army from moving south, and the loss of Hangzhou lost the barrier to prevent the official army from advancing south. In March of the third year of Xuanhe, the Song Dynasty sent Liu Guangshi, Zhang Sizheng, Yao Pingzhong and other soldiers and horses to the south to suppress the rebels.

In April, in half a month's time, the officers and troops not only captured Wuzhou and Quzhou one after another, but also caused serious losses to the main force of the rebel army, and fell into a very passive situation.

On 19 April, when the food was exhausted, the rebel army had to abandon the county seat of Qingxi and retreat to the mountainous area of Bangyuandong. On 24 April, the officers and troops of the two routes met and launched an attack on the rebels at the same time.

More than 200,000 rebel troops fought fiercely with the officers and troops for three days under the condition of being attacked by the enemy on their backs, and most of the rest died heroically except for some who broke through the encirclement. Fang La, Ba Dawang and other leaders of the rebel army were captured by Han Shizhong, who was still a small military academy at the time.

After being captured, Fang La was taken to Hangzhou, and then escorted to Kaifeng, where he was killed on August 24.

After coming back for a few days, Zhou Yi dealt with all the things accumulated in the mansion and was about to take a good rest, but he got another piece of news that made him have to rush to Shandong again, this time with Lin Chong and a group of other people.

The news he got was that Song Jiang had rebelled, and it had failed, in the spring of the third year of Xuanhe.

Although the peasant rebel army led by Song Jiang was small in number, they rampant in Hebei and Shandong dealt a heavy blow to the rule of the Song Dynasty. At the beginning of the third year of Xuanhe, Hou Meng, the governor of Haozhou, wrote to Song Huizong, thinking that Song Jiang could be so rampant in the world, and the officials and soldiers had no choice, and their talents must be outstanding, so it was better to recruit them to surrender. Huizong immediately appointed Hou Mengzhi Dongping Mansion to be responsible for recruiting the Songjiang rebel army. But Hou Meng died of illness before he could take office. In February of the third year of Xuanhe, the rebel army arrived in Haizhou and was attacked by the ambush set up by Zhang Shuye of Zhizhou, and the losses were very large, Song Jiang and part of the rebel army surrendered to Zhang Shuye, and the uprising failed.
