At midnight, the originally quiet camp suddenly became lively.

The whole army ordered to pull out the camp and go straight to the direction of Suicheng. Although the soldiers were ordered not to sleep that night and to be ready to go, they did not expect a hurried march in the middle of the night.

The night fire in Suicheng was somewhat bright, and the fire was full of light.

Liu Yu looked at it from a distance outside the city, thinking that it was in a bitter battle inside, but when he arrived, he realized that the four gates of the city were wide open, and the city had already presented a mess.

The first charge was launched by more than 400 Kingsman soldiers who climbed the wall, and almost all the soldiers who were keeping vigil on the city wall were killed. After opening the city gates, the cavalry entered the city, and then the rebels of Fucheng were in disarray.

After the rebels of Fucheng suffered a sudden blow, the dog jumped over the wall and tried to escape from the south gate by fire, but he was blocked by Huo Yi with more than a dozen people. An encounter was said to be very tragic, and Fucheng was captured alive by Huo Ill.

"I didn't let you open the east gate, why did you go to the south gate?" After listening to Huo's narration, Liu Yu frowned.

"Wouldn't it be better to leave the doors open? It's easy to get in and out. Huo Yi said, reminding, "That captain ......"

Liu Yu ignored it, looking at Fucheng, who was dragged like an animal by Huo Yi with a rope, and the clothes on his body were worn out badly, like a native flower. It is not easy for a very thick mountain bandit to be captured alive. Originally, such a bandit leader had a deterrent effect by killing in front of the rebels, but Liu Yu did not have such a cruel heart.

"Rectify the Fa on the spot!"

Since the rebellion, the Fucheng rebels have been notorious, and countless civilians have died at the hands of Fucheng. Liu Yu gave an order and pronounced the death sentence of this famous local bandit leader.

It was only five or six days before the army set out. A rebellion has been put down. Success. The greatest credit should be given to Huo Disease. Liu Yu didn't say anything, and Huo didn't know about it, and repeatedly shouted for his captain.

Liu Yue knew that the rebellion of Ludao could not continue to drag on, and if the rebels were not eliminated for a day, they would not be able to free up their hands to fight the Huai King in an all-round way. The local army alone could not compete with the Huai army, which had been preparing for many years.

The army regrouped in Suicheng, and although Fucheng and his main rebel army had been eliminated, after all, the remnants of the rebellion in the east remained, and these rebels occupied most of the cities in the eastern part of Guanzhong. It doesn't happen overnight.

The bloody siege has terrified the rebels everywhere, and more civilians have begun to flee from the rebels, and now is the perfect time to appease the rebels. Liu Yu asked a part of the original Fucheng to complete the task of appeasement, on the one hand, he left Dong Shu and led the 4,000 soldiers and horses of the Dongshui Battalion to continue the rebellion in Zhidi, while the army turned west and advanced to the center of the rebellion.

There are many branches of the rebels in the center, and the number of rebels is not a few, because of the severe drought, the army saw many corpses of refugees along the way. Most of them starved to death. Originally, the imperial court sent food for disaster relief. It was also basically captured by the rebels to expand the army, and after the rebellion, the relief of the imperial court basically came to a standstill. As a result, the drought is not very serious, and the central part of Guanzhong is full of hunger.

This was something Liu Yu did not expect, and he did not dare to imagine the situation in the southwest of Guanzhong, where the drought was most severe.

If there is a local rebellion, it cannot be suppressed blindly, and Liu Yu and Han Sheng also talked about this when they discussed this rebellion. What was supposed to be a two-pronged approach to pacify the victims and quell the insurgency now seems to be empty talk. The local displaced people were full of distrust of the imperial army, and even if there was a porridge field for disaster relief, few of the affected people dared to go over to receive the porridge to drink.

The rebels basically used food as bait to lure ordinary people to join the rebels, only to find that the treatment was not as good as they advertised, and the food they could eat every day was only enough to keep one person from starving to death. The rebels' scandalization of the imperial army made these people more afraid of the imperial army, together with their relatives and some ordinary people who did not know what was going on, they also thought that the imperial army would only be more ferocious than the rebels, and this image positioning was also related to the disconnection between the people in power and the ordinary people.

As the army advanced, Liu Yu received Su Yan's distress letter almost twice a day.

The army of the king of Huai marched very quickly, but the Huai army advanced for three days after crossing the Yangtze River but suddenly stopped, and at this time the envoys of the vassal kings who were called into Chang'an had arrived around Tongguan.

Liu Yu couldn't help but smile helplessly when he saw the battle report, and he began to be a little unclear about King Huai's intentions.

On the one hand, he sent a large army to attack the city and plunder the land to make a rebellion, on the other hand, it was like repentance, and a "letter of request" was sent to Chang'an City every day, in which King Huai did not recognize Su Yan's throne, and only referred to him as "imperial nephew", and everywhere it seemed that he was older, and what he did was to defend the territory for Sujia Town.

Liu Yu read the transcript of the "Letter of Invitation to Guilt" passed by Su Yan, and felt that Su Yunyao, the king of Huai, was persuading Su Yan to abdicate and make way for Xian, and his rebellion seemed to be eradicating evil for the imperial court.

Liu Yue knew that in the eyes of King Huai, he must be the most evil one around the new emperor. If you want to "clear the monarch's side", he must be the first to be cleaned up.

Without Liu Yu by his side, Su Yan couldn't bear the predicament around him more and more, and kept urging Liu Yu to go back.

Liu Yu was also pinching his fingers to calculate the time when he would return to Chang'an City.

After the army entered the central region, the first batch of siege baggage arrived at the front line, and with the help of these baggage, it was relatively easy to siege the city, and there was no longer a need for primitive methods to climb the wall. After all, not every city can be attacked by a few elites, and the rebels have learned to be smart after suffering a loss, and have tightened the protection of the city walls.

Within two days, they captured three recalcitrant rebel cities in succession, and then in the back, the rebels also learned wisely, and when they saw the banner of the imperial army, they simply abandoned the city and fled, and no one could recognize them in the ranks of the refugees, most of them were originally ordinary people.

On September 19, Liu Yue counted the days and it was time to return to Chang'an City. He planned to hand over the remaining counterinsurgency tasks to Yang Lie, and he had to return to Chang'an City with Xu Xuan to fully deal with the envoys of the vassal kings entering Beijing and the open rebellion of the Huai king.

That night, Liu Yu asked Xu Xuanzhu to pack up, and this time when he returned to Chang'an City, in addition to bringing his personal guards, Liu Yu did not plan to bring a soldier or a general. Together with the female army, they will also cooperate with the Chinese army under Yang Lie's jurisdiction under the leadership of Xu Caihua.

Liu Yu saw a shadow at the door, lifted the curtain, and saw Huo Yi sitting at the door, holding a halberd in one hand and a dry cake in the other. Hearing the sound, Huo Yi raised his head and glanced at Liu Yu, and continued to nibble on his dry cakes.

"Come in."

Liu Yu said a word, Huo Yi took the dry cake into his arms, patted his butt and entered the tent.

"Are you going to go back with me or continue to work here?" Liu Yu asked.

Huo Yi chewed the cake that he didn't swallow and said inarticulately: "That captain ......"

"I won't rely on you." Liu Yu smiled, these days he has basically been relied on by Huo Disease.

"Hmph, let me write some military order, but you won't honor it."

And Xu Xuanzhu, who was packing up on the desk side, couldn't help but smile when he heard Huo Yuan's words, and said, "Silly boy, are you really your general asking you to set up a military order?" ”

"What's not a military order?" Huo said angrily.

"It was a suicide note." Xu Xuanzhu explained, "The general was afraid that you wouldn't be able to come back, and he was afraid that your three younger brothers would ask him for someone, so he wrote a suicide note in your tone, ready to read it when they grew up." The general doesn't intend to ignore the lives of your three younger brothers. ”

If Liu Yu said this, Huo Yi would definitely not believe it, but Xu Xuanzhu treats him fairly kindly on weekdays, and he is a female army marshal and does not have too many frames, so he has a good impression of him, so he will be suspicious of this.

"I can't read, how do I know if it's true or not?"

Liu Yu said: "Then follow me back to Chang'an, go to read and learn the art of war, and you will recognize it when you learn it." ”

Such a heroic young man, Liu Yu didn't want to miss the opportunity to cultivate this priceless jade. (To be continued......)
