In Yecheng of Zhao State, the people of the whole city were talking about the situation of the rebels in Liang, and all the people were very afraid of the rapid advance of the rebels, especially those who were rich, and they were the most afraid in their hearts.

Li Nong was defeated and fled, Luoyang was broken by the rebels of Liang Li, and then Xingyang and Chenliu were also lost, and these unfavorable news spread to Shi Hu's ears one after another, making Shi Hu, who was already in poor health, even weaker.

Shi Hu is not a timid person, but in the face of Liang Li's fierce offensive, he also felt a little fear in his heart, but he would not admit defeat at will, in order to exterminate the Liang Qian rebels, Shi Hu endured his physical discomfort and convened the ministers in the hall to discuss the matter.

On the top of the palace hall in Yecheng, all the ministers had been gathered, and Shi Hu sat on the dragon chair with difficulty with the support of the inner servants.

The ministers looked up at Shi Hu and felt the changes in Shi Hu in just a few months, now Shi Hu is terminally ill, and he no longer has the fierce anger of the past, and he seems much gentle.

Shi Hu gasped, looked at the ministers, and asked softly: "Ladies and gentlemen, since I ascended the throne, my health has deteriorated, and the Liang Qian rebels are becoming more and more rampant. After saying that, he coughed dryly twice.

"Your Majesty, the most elite men and horses under Liang Qian's command are the 10,000 East Palace guards who were degraded by the emperor, and the reason why these 10,000 guards obeyed Liang Qian's orders was entirely because they were degraded to the frontier for no reason and had resentment. If the emperor decrees to pardon the crimes of the guards of the East Palace and allow them to return to Yecheng, I believe that the core strength of the rebels will collapse, and I hope the emperor will think twice. A minister said.

"Yes! Your Majesty, now that the rebel army has a strength of one million, its strength cannot be underestimated, and only appeasement can resolve the crisis. Another minister said.

When Shi Hu heard this, he was very unhappy in his heart, and if he was polite to appease him. It is to admit mistakes to the rebels. Admitting that it was wrong to belittle the guards of the East Palace at the beginning, this is obviously difficult to do, you must know that those in power always know their mistakes and correct them, but they never admit their mistakes. Blatantly admitting mistakes is a sign of weakness. It is the most taboo thing for those in power.

"I am the king of a country. Even if the disposal is heavier, Liang Calf and they shouldn't be in trouble, besides. They robbed and killed our officials all the way, and if they were to be pardoned, where would the power of heaven be, and where would my face be. Although he was terminally ill, Shi Hu's eyes could still reveal a trace of domineering and majesty.

Seeing that Shi Hu did not agree to the pardon, the ministers stopped persuading and turned to think of other strategies.

Yan Wang Shi Bin took a step forward, hugged his fists and said: "Father, a rebellious person like Liang Qian must not be spared, and the son is willing to personally lead the troops to exterminate the rebels and speak out for his father." ”

Seeing that his son was going to lead the troops to quell the rebellion, a smile appeared at the corner of Shi Hu's mouth, Shi Bin's words were very to his heart, however, the fierce general Li Nong led an army of 100,000 people who were defeated by Liang Li, Shi Bin's ability is not as good as Li Nong, let Shi Bin fight, Shi Hu believes that there is not much chance of winning, however, if you let the fierce general of the DPRK and China assist Shi Bin to fight, then the situation will be different.

"If my son wants to fight, he needs a few capable generals, Yao Gezhong and Pu Hong are all famous generals of our dynasty, and they should fight with you." Shi Hu said softly.

When Shi Bin heard this, he hugged his fists and said: "Father Xie trusts, with the help of the two generals Yao and Pu, it will be easier for the sons to break through the Liang calf." ”

"Okay, Shi Bin, you go back and prepare!" Shi Hu waved his hand and motioned for Shi Bin to go and prepare.

"Yes, Father." Shi Bin responded with a fist clenched, and turned to leave the main hall.

In view of the strong strength of the Liang Qi rebels, the ministers agreed that they should gather the most powerful corps around Yecheng and go to quell the rebellion together, so as to capture and kill Liang Qian in a battle.

After the two defeats of Shi Bao and Li Nong, Shi Hu also realized the strong strength of the Liang Calf rebels, for this reason, he decided to transfer all the most elite legions in China to pacify Liang Li, Shi Bin as the main general, Yao Gezhong, Pu Hong, Shi Min, Li Nong, Zhang Hedu and other fierce generals as deputy generals, and all the elite legions of all departments were killed against the Liang Calf rebels.

After Shi Hu's order was issued, all the elite legions of Zhao moved closer to Yecheng, and the champion general Yao Gezhong was the first to arrive in Yecheng and personally went to meet Shi Hu.

However, at this time, Shi Hu's condition deteriorated even more, in order to prevent his fierce generals from seeing him dying, Shi Hu refused Yao Gezhong's request to meet in person, and rewarded him with the food he ate for Yao Gezhong to enjoy alone.

Unexpectedly, Yao Gezhong was furious, not only did he not eat the food rewarded by Shi Hu, but also scolded the palace people, and asked to meet Shi Hu in person.

The palace people had no choice but to ask Shi Hu for instructions, and Shi Hu had no choice but to endure the discomfort of his body and let Yao Gezhong meet him in his bedroom.

Yao Gezhong, under the leadership of the palace people, arrived at Shi Hu's bedroom, and when he saw that Shi Hu really looked sick, he hurriedly hugged his fists and said, "Why is the emperor so sick?" The prince must have been executed, I feel sad! If the emperor let a good person educate the prince when he was young, he would never have the idea of rebellion when he grew up, and now that the prince has been executed, what is the use of the emperor's sorrow? Today's crown prince is too young, the emperor should take care of the dragon body, in case the emperor has a good one, the world will be in chaos! ”

Seeing Yao Gezhong speak so rudely, the palace people all sweated, but Shi Hu didn't mean to blame him, because Yao Gezhong was such a straightforward person, and Shi Hu trusted and understood him.

"Yao Aiqing, what I'm most worried about now is the traitor Liang Qian, what are you talking about?" Shi Hu still showed a hint of anger.

Yao Gezhong hugged his fists and said: "Your Majesty, the rebels of Liang Qian gathered to rebel because they were poor and homesick, they burned, killed and looted along the way, and did all kinds of evil, what can such a rebel army do, even if there are millions, what is there to fear, the general will definitely be able to destroy them." ”

Seeing Yao Gezhong's majesty, Shi Hu was very satisfied, and immediately appointed him as the general of the expedition to the west, and rewarded him with war horses and armor.

Yao Gezhong was naturally very happy when he was rewarded, and put on his armor in front of Shi Hu, stepped on the war horse, and then walked away.

It didn't take long for Pu Hong, Shi Min, Li Nong, Zhang Hedu and other legions to arrive near Yecheng and prepare for the expedition one after another.

After the armies were ready, Shi Bin personally led 10,000 elite cavalry, and gathered Yao Gezhong, Pu Hong and several other legions, and slaughtered the area of Xingyang, where the Liang Qian rebels were active.

In order to fight the rebels with all his might, Shi Bin divided his troops and ordered Shi Min's army to be the left flank to attack the rebels in the direction of Chenliu County, and Li Nong's corps to attack in the direction of Luoyang City, while Shi Bin himself led the main army to kill Xingyang County where Liang Qian was located.

The various legions under Shi Bin's command are all the most elite field legions of Zhao State, and they are the core force of Zhao State, and their combat power is second to none, which is not comparable to Liang Qian's rabble.

The general Shi Min first entered the area of Chenliu, defeated the rebels of Chenliu County and fled, and the army under Li Nong's command also entered the vicinity of Luoyang, and defeated one after another, avenging the previous one-arrow revenge.

Shi Bin's main army was even more unstoppable, and after crossing the Yellow River, he went straight to Xingyang City.

Although the army under the command of Liang Qian is known as a million heroes, but they are a group of rabble, the reason why they followed Liang Qian to rebel, is nothing more than to survive and rob the property of the rich, now, after arriving in Xingyang, Chenliu area, many bandits and bandits and other strong armed forces that joined the team, have robbed almost, many have begun to consider the back road, large-scale deserters have also begun to appear, many of the bandit leaders who have robbed enough property, have taken their original team to the mountains with their men, continue to be the emperor of the soil.

The reason why the rebels were strong in the beginning was because only by fighting with all their strength could they survive and grab enough property, but now, they have everything they should have, and the successive victories also made the rebel soldiers feel proud, thinking that the army of the imperial court was vulnerable.

In order to resist the counterinsurgency army of the imperial court, Liang Qian gathered the main force of troops and horses east of Xingyang City and prepared for a big battle.

After Shi Bin's main army arrived in Xingyang, he unceremoniously launched an attack on Liang Qian's main army, Yao Gezhong's army and Puhong's army were all elite divisions of Zhao State, they were divided into left and right wings to quickly kill Liang Qian's rebels, Shi Bin led a thousand elite cavalry and several elite legions, and killed Liang Li's rebels from the front.

Liang Li was wrong this time, the main army under his command was not the opponent of the most elite army of Zhao State at all, and it didn't take long for the battle to occur, and the main army under Liang Li had a large-scale rout, and even the most elite Donggong guards couldn't resist it.

In desperation, Liang Qian had no choice but to order a retreat, and led part of the troops to flee into Xingyang City to defend it, Shi Bin led the main army to follow, under Xingyang City, surrounded Liang Li's rebel army in the city.

There was not enough material reserves in Xingyang City, tens of thousands of troops were stationed in Xingyang City, and the military rations were quickly exhausted, and the hungry rebels surrendered out of the city one after another.

Liang Qian naturally would not sit still, he led the most elite 10,000 horses under his command, and took advantage of the dark night to open the quiet city gate, wanting to break through.

The generals of the Zhao army who surrounded Xingyang City naturally expected that Liang Qian would lead the army to break through, so they had already set a trap around the city, and Liang Li led the army not far from the city, and was surrounded by the soldiers and horses under the command of Yao Gezhong, the general of Zhao State.

Liang Qian had no way to escape, and led the core of 10,000 soldiers and horses under his command to fight with all his might, but his strength was limited, and he was finally killed by Yao Gezhong's soldiers and horses, Yao Gezhong ordered his subordinates to cut off Liang Li's head, ready to bring it back to Yecheng to be rewarded.
