Chapter 419: Dry Bones Below
Because the people of Ezhou opened the city gate, the process of recruiting the soldiers of the division to conquer Ezhou City was extremely smooth.
After the city gate was opened, the soldiers of the Recruitment Division shouted the slogan of "only punish the first evil, not as good as the soldiers and the people" and rushed into the city of Ezhou. Although they encountered the desperate resistance of Huang Yuan's cronies' soldiers, after all, the difference in numbers was too great, and Huang Yuan's soldiers were quickly wiped out.
In just half a day, the soldiers of the Recruiting Division had already taken control of the city gates and city walls of Ezhou, and surrounded the so-called Pingyong General's Mansion, which was the last retreat of Huang Yuan and his cronies.
What made the recruiting generals feel strange was that the last place where Huang Yuan retreated was not a turret that was difficult to defend, but a mansion on the flat ground. Such a place, no matter how defended, is the easiest to capture.
Why did Huang Yuan retreat here, could it be that there was something wrong with this?
Gu Dacun and Zhang Ge, who had bloodstains on their faces, glanced at each other, thought in their hearts, and then were shocked. They chased Huang Yuan here with the soldiers of the Recruitment Division, and at this juncture, Huang Yuan couldn't be allowed to escape no matter what!
Just as they gave the order to attack the General's Mansion, suddenly a thick smoke rose from the General's Mansion. Immediately, the General's Mansion was lit with a raging fire, and under the reflection of the day, the flame became even more intense.
Now is the time of late autumn, Ezhou has continued to drought, and the firelight has a momentum to the sky, and the sound of "crackling" houses burning to the ground sounds. It was so fast that people didn't have time to react, and the General's Mansion turned into a sea of fire in an instant!
Under such circumstances, of course, it is impossible for the soldiers of the Recruiting Division to attack it! Gu Dacun stood outside the Great General's Mansion, looking at the fire in the sky. It's complicated.
To this day, he doesn't know why his former subordinates rebelled, but he does. Because of this fire, there is no answer to his question.
After the fire, the soldiers of the Recruiting Division found nearly 300 charred corpses in the embers of the General's Mansion. After careful searching, there was no secret passage secret room under the General's Mansion, and Huang Yuan and his subordinates had no possibility of escaping, and they believed that they had died in this fire. ββThis is the unanimous judgment of Gu Dacun and Zhang Ge.
Huang Yuan rebelled, retreated to the General's Mansion, and died. He who started the fire together. And the generals he relied on. This was the final end of the rebels on the West Road of Hanoi Province.
With Huang Yuan dying. The soldiers of the Recruitment Division controlled most of Ezhou, although there was still sporadic resistance. But it can't be the climate, where the soldiers of the Recruiting Division arrive. Invincible.
At this point, the overall situation of Ezhou has been decided.
The overall situation of Ezhou has been decided, and this does not mean that the task of recruiting Si to suppress the rebellion has been completed. In fact, they have only just taken the first step in their counterinsurgency path. There are still many things to do next, to clean up the post-war mess in Ezhou, and more importantly, there are rebels on the North Road led by the traitor Liu Liang in Hanoi Road!
The Northern Route Rebels, based in Jinju, consisted of thieves, robbers, and outlaws from Hanoi Province. They have been licking the knife to live, and their bravery may not be as good as the rebels on the Western Road, but they are more insidious and vicious than the rebels on the Western Road. For the soldiers of the Recruitment Division, the rebels on the North Road are also a big problem!
As long as Jinju is pacified, the counterinsurgency of the Recruiting Division in Hanoi Province will be half completed. The remaining half, of course, is to clean up the post-war chaos and consolidate and stabilize the situation in Hanoi Province.
Although there were still rebels on the northern route to deal with, the soldiers of the Recruitment Division did not feel any fear, but their momentum was like a rainbow, and their morale was even more inspiring than before the attack on Ezhou.
The smooth pacification of Ezhou has boosted their morale, and the drill trumpets they sang are not only weakening the morale of the Ezhou rebels, but also raising their own blood and courage!
From the main general to the soldiers, they all firmly believe in their hearts: the Recruitment Division will definitely pacify Hanoi Province!
When the soldiers were cleaning up the battle situation in Ezhou, Gu Dacun, Shen Huashan and Zhang Ge and other main generals were already arranging the pacification of Jinzhou.
Going up from Gangnam Province, you will arrive first in Eju and then in Jinju. Now that the overall situation of Eju has been decided, without further ado, the sooner Jinju is pacified, the more stable the situation in Hanoi Province will be. The Jinju rebels led by Liu Liang, more precisely, are the Jinju rebels, and now they are a thorn in the heart of the recruiting division, and they must be pulled out as soon as possible!
"Originally, Ben expected that when the Recruiting Division attacked Ezhou, Liu Liang of Jinju would come to help, after all, they were grasshoppers on the same rope. But I don't want Liu Liang to be unmoved, so if that's the case, then act according to the original plan! Leave 20,000 soldiers in Eju to clean up the chaos here, and the other 50,000 soldiers will rush to Jinju! β
This is an arrangement that they have negotiated before entering Ezhou. After capturing Ezhou, the Recruiting Division had to rush to Jinju immediately to continue dealing with the rebels on the North Road.
"This envoy led Duan Hong, the third battalion of Zhonglang, and Zhai Ren, the second battalion, to stay in Ezhou! The rest of the soldiers, followed by the general and the envoys of the camp, galloped to Jinju! Be sure to show the head of the anti-thief Liu Liangxiao to the public and pacify Jinju! β
Shen Huashan explained the arrangement in more detail. He stayed in Ezhou because there must be a chief officer in charge of the removal of prisoners and the maintenance of stability here.
Moreover, it is most appropriate to go to Jinzhou here, pay attention to the speed of marching, and deal with outlaw bandits, Gu Dacun and Zhang Ge, who are strong in martial arts, and lead the troops to go.
People are used for their own purposes, and people are used to the best of their ability, this is the way of using soldiers.
Let's say that Gu Dacun and Zhang Ge marched to Jinzhou with 50,000 soldiers of the Recruitment Division, and Shen Huashan took Zhonglang to leave Duan Hong and Zhai Ren in Ezhou.
After Gu Dacun, Zhang Ge and others set off, Shen Huashan knew about Feng Wanshi from the Huang Yuan soldiers who surrendered to Cheng. This person's talent and weirdness made Shen Huashan pay special attention.
Feng Wanshi is Huang Yuan's advisor, and that essay is his handwriting; Many of Huang Yuan's actions in Ezhou were suggested by him; The sound of the gong was what he came up with......
Although the soldiers of the Recruitment Division said that Feng Wanshi was missing and might have followed Huang Yuan to die in the fire, Shen Huashan was convinced that this person must still be alive. The so-called strategists must have a way to protect themselves. What's more, he studied under Mr. Chaotang?
Did Feng Wanshi really learn from Mr. Chaotang? If it was true, why did he help Huang Yuan rebel? Was Mr. Chaotang involved in any of these things?
These questions lingered in Shen Huashan's mind. Seemingly. After returning to Jingzhao, I had to send a letter to Yu Zhengdao, Shen Huashan thought. As far as he knew, Yu Zhengdao's vertical and horizontal technique. I learned it from Mr. Chaotang.
Before Shen Huashan could think too much about Feng Wanshi's matter, Duan Hong rushed in like the wind, so nervous and fast, that Shen Huashan was stunned. What happened? Could it be that there are rebels in Ezhou again?
"Your Excellency...... A military order came from Jinju...... Jinzhou ......" Duan Hong looked sad, and said the news of Jinzhou in a choked tone.
When he heard Duan Hong's words clearly, Shen Huashan was stunned at first, and then like Duan Hong, his eyes were red.
70,000 people, that's 70,000 people! Liu Liang, a traitor, if you don't kill him, heaven will not tolerate it!
Liu Liang took advantage of the great drought in Jinju and the surging people's feelings. He killed Jinju Assassin Shi Wang Lin. Incitement to the people of Jinju. Raise the anti-flag, saying "cure the corrupt officials, level the granary, and exempt from taxes", so as to win the hearts of the people. It also became a rebel army on the North Road.
However, the formation of the North Road rebels. Most of them are bandits, how can they really think about the people? Their nature is to plunder, and this cannot be hidden!
At the beginning, in order to gain a firm foothold in Jinzhou, Liu Liang would restrain these bandits and give benefits to the people, and would distribute grain to the people of Jinzhou.
However, when the 70,000 Recruiting Division headed for Ezhou, Liu Liang knew that the more than 10,000 bandits he led were by no means the opponents of the recruiting Division's soldiers.
The difference between him and Huang Yuan is that Huang Yuan is a sergeant, and he is a bandit! Bandits, when they encounter officers and soldiers, can't beat them, so they naturally want to escape. When the Recruiting Division went to Ezhou, he planned to escape.
Sure enough, Liu Liang heard that Ezhou had been conquered within half a day, Huang Yuan** was killed, and he also heard that 50,000 soldiers of the Recruitment Division had marched to Jinzhou. When these two news reached Jinju, Liu Liang and the thieves had packed up all the finesse, and the treasures they had plundered from the family had already been transported out of Jinju City.
Immediately, Liu Liang and the thieves abandoned the city and fled. It's just that before they left Jinju, they committed a heinous evil deed and slaughtered Jinju!
Unarmed people, men, women, and children, all fell one by one under the butcher's knife of the thief, and there were also people who wanted to resist, but they never escaped this bloody killing.
70,000 people of Jinju, no one was spared, including the Qiao family, which has existed for more than 200 years, and the Qiao family, who came out of Ying Nantu's maternal grandfather Qiao Zhiheng, is also among them.
These people, they once believed in Liu Liang's banner of "curing corrupt officials, leveling granaries, and exempting taxes", and they once believed that Liu Liang would bring them food, clothing, and warm clothes. But in the end, what?
What is terrible is not the danger that comes to them, but the killing that covers up all kinds of beautiful temptations. Under the surface of harmony, there are layers of dry bones! - How can the people of Jinju know this?
When Gu Dacun and Zhang Ge hurried to Jinzhou with the soldiers of the Recruitment Division, what they saw was this corpse! These corpses are stacked one on top of the other, almost filling the Jinju vacant space!
The moat of Jinju has been stained red with blood, and the vultures that have come from chasing the breath of death in the sky above Jinju keep spinning, and then fall on the corpses, pecking at those human flesh.
It's a feast for vultures, but it's a terrible human condition!
The country is in turmoil, and human life is better than a dog! The people who killed these people of Dayong turned out to be the people of Dayong, this is the sorrow of Dayong!
The soldiers of the Recruiting Division had the intention to calm the chaos, but they were powerless to reverse the tragedy. Even though they made a contribution to quelling the chaos in Ezhou, the souls of the 70,000 people in Jinju became their grief for a lifetime.
Even if within a few days, the soldiers annihilated Liu Liang and more than 10,000 rebels, this tragic situation and this grief still could not be erased from their hearts.
