During the twenty-fifth day of the siege of the rebels, countless people were killed by fratricide and starvation. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info At this time, the rebels' camp was full of corpses, white bones, and skinny rebels could be seen everywhere, and groups of people were crazy to rob the corpses.

In order to grab an extra piece of human flesh, the former comrades did not hesitate to draw their knives against each other, and after one party was killed, his body immediately became the target of other people's crazy robbery. The entire rebel camp has become a huge purgatory on earth.

At this time, many rebels had reached their limit and could no longer hold on, and began to surrender to the Zhenjun Army and the Central Army in large numbers. When dealing with the surrendered army, the Zhenjun Army and the Central Army agreed that they would be killed.

On the periphery of the camps of the Zhenjun Army and the Central Army, large pits were dug one after another. Tens of thousands of rebels were pushed into the pit, and the Zhenjun army and the central army outside immediately filled in the soil, and the big pit was filled in at the time of a cup of tea. The rebel army of 10,000 men disappeared.

As more and more rebels surrendered, dozens of mass graves were dug up by the Zhenjun Army and the Central Army, and the rebels were buried alive in batches.

After the rebels were trapped for a month, there were no rebels willing to surrender, and the rebel camp in the encirclement was as silent as death.

At Shangguanxiu's suggestion, the rebels were besieged but not attacked, and the Zhenjun Army and the Central Army, which lasted for a month, finally began to carry out a comprehensive clean-up of the rebel camp.

On the outskirts of the rebel camp, there was not a single living person in sight, except for the decomposing corpses and the white bones of the forest. When I walked into a quarter of the rebel camp, I finally saw the rebel soldiers who were dying of hunger and like ghosts.

These rebels who refused to surrender were the hardest diehards, and when they saw the enemy coming, the people got up from the ground tremblingly, grabbed their weapons, and could not stand still, but they still had to continue fighting.

The Musketeers who were walking in front did not give the rebels a chance to rush forward at all, and the Musketeers opened fire as they pushed forward.

After the soldiers in the front row shot the projectiles in the gun, they stood in place in a hurry, picked up the long-pole iron brush, cleaned the residue in the barrel, and then refilled the gunpowder and projectiles. The soldiers behind passed them and continued to push forward, firing, reloading, and so on.

Under the long-range attack of the firebolt, the rebels who stood up were quickly knocked to the ground again, unable to stand up again. The soldiers stepped on the corpses of the rebels, advancing methodically step by step, using their firearms to kill and injure all visible enemies in sight.

There was no fighting, it was a one-sided massacre, and a large number of cultivators in the rebel army did not have a chance to rush to the front of the firecrackers, and they were shot and killed indiscriminately from a distance of 100 meters, and their spiritual armor was shattered, and their bodies were beaten to a thousand holes, like a human sieve.

More than 600,000 rebels trapped in the northern area of Shangjing were wiped out by the Zhenjun Army and the Central Army after a month of being trapped. This time, the Sixteenth Route rebels surrounded Beijing, totaling millions of people, except for the tens of thousands who fled to Shenchi, all the rest were killed.

In the hundreds of years since the establishment of the Wind Country, the suppression of internal rebellions has never been so cruel and bloody. After this battle, it not only annihilated the main forces of the rebels in various parts of the Wind Country, but also suppressed the arrogance of the rebel forces in various counties.

The suppression of the rebellion was far from over, and the princes of all parts of the Wind Country, seeing the power of the imperial court, stood up to support the imperial court and Tang Ling, and carried out retaliatory strikes against the local rebel forces.

With the destruction of the main force of the 16th Route rebel army, the rebel forces in various places have been greatly damaged, and now the princes in various places have organized government troops and local armies to further suppress them, which is undoubtedly another fatal blow to the rebel forces.

But this is not the end, the most severe blow to the rebel forces, it can be said that the blow to fundamentally eradicate the rebel forces has followed one after another.

Shangguan Xiu went to the imperial court and proposed to severely punish the rebels' families, and the immediate family members of the rebels should all be used as labor to repair the cities and facilities damaged by the rebels. The collateral family members of the rebels should also be implicated and given an additional 40% as punishment.

This sparseness was quickly approved by Tang Ling and implemented nationwide. The impact of this policy was so widespread that it was tantamount to a rebellion by one person and the destruction of the whole family.

As a servant, it is no different from being a slave, even if you are not tired to death, you have to be starved to death, as for the increase of forty percent, it is not something that ordinary people can afford, so there are countless people who have lost their families and died and their wives are separated.

Shangguan Xiu's policy is not only a punishment for the rebels, but also an example to the people of the whole country, so that the people of the whole country can clearly see that once you participate in the rebellion, what serious consequences you will have to suffer, it is not as simple as you being killed alone, but the nine clans of Zhulian, and the entire family will suffer a catastrophe.

After the cold and brutal iron fist suppression of the imperial court, the rebellion in the counties of the Wind Country was finally quelled, and when the people heard the words of the rebellion again, their faces changed drastically and they avoided it. Losing the support of the people is tantamount to losing the soil for the growth and growth of rebel forces.

Of course, the Wind Country has been in turmoil for so long, and the rebel forces have not been able to completely eradicate it, but it is no longer possible for the rebel forces to set off strong winds and waves.

After completely annihilating the main force of the rebels in the north of Shangjing, the Zhenjun Army and the Central Army returned triumphantly and returned to Beijing together.

When approaching Shangjing, the army was welcomed by the people of Shangjing, especially after the generals of the various armies entered the city, the attics on both sides of the street were sprinkled with petals all over the sky, from the streets to the alleys, all of them were cheers, applause was thunderous, and the whole Shangjing City was in a boil.

No matter how chaotic other places are, Shangjing is the capital after all, the feet of the Son of Heaven, the people in Shangjing are still more supportive of the imperial court, and they have been besieged by the rebels for so long, and the lives of the people in the city are also extremely difficult, for the people, it is not the imperial court that makes them unable to live, it is the rebels who make them unable to live, and now the Zhenjun Army and the Central Army have joined forces to quell the rebels, and the fear in the hearts of the people has disappeared, and they have a big breath of evil, and they are naturally quite satisfied with the performance of the Zhenjun Army and the Central Army, and they are happy.

It's a pity that the people didn't get to see the legendary commander of the Zhenjun Army, Shangguan Xiu, and similarly, Shangguan Xiu didn't get to see such a lively welcome scene in Shangjing.

Shangguan Xiu did not return to Shangjing with the main force of the Zhenjun army, and before returning to Shangjing, an edict from Shenchi first summoned him urgently, the edict of the saint.

In the minds of the wind people, the status of the saint is similar to that of the emperor, the difference is that the latter is the administrative ruler, and the former is the spiritual ruler. There is not much difference between the edict of the saint and the decree of the emperor.

The Holy Maiden summoned that even if Shangguan Xiu was unwilling to go to Shenchi, he had to take this trip hard, not to mention, he did have plans to go to Shenchi, after all, tens of thousands of rebels were still hiding in Shenchi, and this problem could not be dragged all the time, and it had to be properly resolved.

Before entering the territory of Shenchi, Shangguan Xiu first went to the camp of the Second Army stationed outside Shenchi to learn about the recent situation of Shenchi from Zhan Xiong. Seeing Shangguan Xiu, Zhan Xiong's bitter water in his stomach could finally be poured out. He shook his head and said, "Our army has besieged Shenchi for so long, and it is almost the target of the people of the whole country. As he spoke, he raised his hand and pointed to the side, and on one side of the tent there were several large bamboo baskets, which were full of letters.

Shangguan Xiu walked to the bamboo basket, picked up a letter casually, and looked down, the content inside was roughly a sharp verbal criticism, and another letter, the content of which was similar.

It can be seen that these large baskets of letters are basically to scold the Zhenjun army, and they are all righteous, righteous and awe-inspiring, because the person who wrote the letter is standing on the position of Shenchi and is not afraid of anyone's retaliation.

"It's good. Shangguan Xiu threw the letter back into the bamboo basket and grinned at Zhan Xiong.

Zhan Xiong wondered if he had misheard, and he asked in disbelief: "Brother Xiu, the people from all over the country have scolded the eighteenth generation of our ancestors of the Zhenjun Army, which is quite good?"

"Because of the assistance to the imperial court to quell the rebellion, the people everywhere have a lot of resentment against my Zhenjun army, but people dare not speak out, but now they have finally found a channel where they can scold my Zhenjun army in the name of righteousness, let them scold it happily, this is not a way to vent. "It is better for the people to vent their grievances against the Zhenjun Army than to hold their grievances in their hearts.

To be precise, Shangguan Xiu is not a cold-blooded and brutal person, and he treats people and things very peacefully on weekdays, but don't touch his bottom line, once he steps on his thunder point and blows him up, then no matter how terrifying it is, Shangguan Xiu may be able to do it.

He led the massacre of millions of rebels, and then advocated severe punishment of the rebels' families, which is a bloody example.

But at this time, in the face of the bitter abuse of hundreds of people, he acted indifferent, laughed it off, didn't take it to heart at all, and didn't plan to carry out any retaliatory actions, even if he had the ability, he could do it easily.

He changed his words and asked, "Recently, what has the Shenchi side moved?"

"Dissatisfied, extremely dissatisfied. Zhan Xiong smiled bitterly: "The people of Shenchi have expressed their dissatisfaction and protested to our army many times, and just yesterday, an elder of Shenchi came to our army's camp and asked our army to immediately lift the blockade of Shenchi, otherwise they will bear the consequences." ”

Shangguan Xiu smiled and said: "Shenchi has always been respected and held by people, when has he been treated like this, his dissatisfaction with our army is understandable. ”

"Brother Xiu, besieging Shenchi is not a long-term solution!" Zhan Xiong asked curiously: "What ......is it that Brother Xiu came over this time?"

"It was the Holy Maiden who summoned me. Shangguan Xiu shrugged his shoulders and said in a calm tone.

Hearing this, Zhan Xiong and the others all changed their faces, and the Holy Maiden came forward in person, this matter is too big, right? Hao Shu said cautiously on the side: "Brother Xiu, as far as I know, the Holy Maiden has never summoned anyone outside the Divine Pool, and Brother Xiu should be the first." ”
