In fact, Xu Huang has never said anything to the outside world, but his pressure has always been quite high.

The pressure of his duties and interpersonal interactions often made him feel that it was not easy to deal with.

And he is not very good at communicating, he does not have many friends in the army, Guan Yu is counted as one, but Guan Yuyuan is the person in charge of the Jiangnan Military Region and is not with him.

Xun You admires Xu Huang very much and has a lot of dealings with him, but Xun You is in Luoyang, and he will not meet Xu Huang often.

So Xu Huang is actually in a relatively isolated state in the army, and his colleagues are mostly colleagues, and he is quite harmonious with his subordinate soldiers, and he also has a lot of love, but it is difficult to say that the relationship between his subordinate soldiers and him is a friend.

He is also not a person who likes to drink to escape reality, so he often resorts to solving math problems to relax his mind, wanting to escape from the stress of heavy military affairs and interpersonal contacts for a while.

But after escaping, the pressure is still pressure, the problem is still the problem, and he still has to try his best to coordinate, solve, supervise, and rectify.

There are contradictions and disputes between his subordinates, and he needs to deal with and coordinate them.

If the imperial court has any requirements, he must also give a response and solution as soon as possible.

The Privy Council needs him to provide some information about the army and the topography and hydrology of the town guards, and he will also arrange for it.

He also had to bear the kind of jealousy of the military commanders of the various units that were frequented by the frequent battles in the areas he was guarding.

It is not easy to be an official under Liu Bei.

This time in the battle, it was not surprising that the pressure on the Central Plains was the greatest, and Xu Huang even felt that this was Liu Bei testing whether he could afford that trust, so he didn't dare to slack off at all.

After learning that the matter in Jizhou was getting bigger, Xu Huang directly led his troops to the north to crusade, and curbed the expansion trend before the situation further expanded.

Despite this, Liu Yu and Liu Zhong's successive rebellions were also unexpected by him, not to mention that what Liu Zhong is doing now is almost a political storm, and it involves the throne.

If this is placed in the previous Luoyang City, the high and low will also have to sacrifice a faction as a sacrifice, and then it can be solved.

If this can't be pacified by him personally, I don't know what kind of cool things those who are angry with his power will say to him, and it is even possible to involve him and hold him accountable for his failure to maintain stability, which will cause him some trouble.

The Han army is indeed quite united, and the internal struggle is relatively benign, and there is no vicious factional struggle that has to put the other party to death.

But no matter how benign the internal contradiction is, it is also a contradiction and a bit confrontational, Xu Huang, as a not so senior young and middle-aged general, has walked in front of many old-timers, which has always been grasped by many people.

He must behave more capable, more combative, and better than other generals of the Yuan Cong and his relatives, in order to block the mouths of some people, in exchange for a peaceful night's sleep.

Of course, he is not completely without means of releasing pressure, such as pouring all the stress and negative emotions on the enemy, which is a good way to balance the mind.

As far as he knew, many generals and soldiers who felt a lot of pressure even used the thrill of going to the battlefield to cut people to relieve stress, so war was not only a means of pursuing fame for them, but also a way to relieve daily stress.

For Xu Huang, Liu Zhong brought him so much pressure that he felt that he had to use Liu Zhong himself to relieve this pressure.

Then the opportunity came to him.

After Liu Zhong's army was crushed, Liu Zhong himself was "unlucky" to be caught.

It is said that he wanted to escape, but because the armor he was wearing was too conspicuous, and he had enough guards to protect him, he was targeted by the Han soldiers at the first word, so they surrounded him to the death, just to prevent him from running back to all kinds of sieges, and killed all the guards around him.

So the guy was caught.

The guy who was ashamed to question the legitimacy of Liu Bei's throne was caught like this, so that Xu Huang tripped over while walking happily, accidentally fell a dog and ate, and didn't care at all, and rushed over to see Liu Zhong with a smile on his face.

Contrary to Xu Huang's expectations, Xu Huang thought that Liu Zhong, such an arrogant guy, should be a relatively hard-headed opponent, the kind that would never admit defeat even in the face of his army, and maybe the kind that would clamore for another decisive battle with Xu Huang.

But after Liu Zhong was caught, he actually cried directly and urinated.

When Xu Huang came to interrogate him, Liu Zhong cried with snot and tears, saying that he was persecuted, deceived, and deceived, and he didn't know what was going on, and he participated in the rebels for some reason, and was pushed to the position of leader by them, all of which was not his intention, he didn't want to do such a thing at all.

"They lied to me, saying that I would be killed, that I would be questioned, and that if I didn't participate in them, I would definitely be beheaded by Your Majesty, I have no past friendship with Your Majesty, I only know that Your Majesty is coercive in the world, thunder means, I'm afraid!

I had no choice but to join them, I didn't know anything before, they did everything in my name, and it had nothing to do with me! It's really irrelevant!

Can the general defend me? I have a lot of money, a lot of money, as long as the general is willing to defend me, I will give whatever the general wants, and I can give the general the money in the entire palace! I just ask the general to help me say a few kind words! ”

Liu Zhong looked at Xu Huang with tears and snot on his face, and looked at Xu Huang with extremely expectant eyes, which made Xu Huang very speechless.

This is completely different from the arrogant style of your guy in the intelligence, which one is true?

Xu Huang was a little helpless.

But he really didn't have much interest in it, and he didn't feel the need to get involved.

"This matter has nothing to do with me, if you want to ask, just ask Your Majesty, and Your Majesty will answer you."

After speaking, Xu Huang left with a look of contempt, scolding as he walked, feeling that this guy was really a complete soft egg.

Leaving Liu Zhong to cry bitterly with a collapsed expression-

He really didn't expect the Han army to be so capable of fighting, and he himself was so wasteful, it only took an hour to stand upright, the 30,000 army completely collapsed, and he almost didn't even have the strength to fight back, and the strength of the Han army was far beyond his imagination.

This huge gap completely crushed his confidence and will, especially after being caught, his sense of security was also completely destroyed, and he immediately thought of the miserable fate he would face, so he instinctively wanted to ask for mercy and wanted to live.

Everyone loves money, and no one doesn't love money, and he thinks that he can spend money to buy the top brass of the Han army in exchange for the hope of survival.

But what he doesn't understand is that although everyone loves money, not everyone who loves money has no brains, and there are always some people who will use their brains before loving money, ask themselves if they can take the money, and then make a judgment.

Obviously, Xu Huang made an accurate judgment and knew that the money could not be taken.

After this encounter ended, Xu Huang did not stay for too long, but immediately ordered the army to attack Ganling City, not to give the rebels time to regroup, at his request, a shock force of 3,000 people was quickly organized, and without taking a break, they attacked Ganling City.

Then Ganling City was attacked by this force.

When the main army launched a surprise attack, the old, weak, sick and disabled left behind in Ganling City were transporting grain into the city, and after Liu Zhong led the elite to go on the expedition, the order left behind was to leave a back hand and transport more grain to Ganling City in case of emergency, so many people were transporting grain.

The Han army came too fast, the attack was too direct, the defenders of Ganling City did not have time to react, the city gate was taken by the Han army, and the old, weak, sick and disabled people who had no combat effectiveness and will to fight in the city scattered in a hurry, and there was no resistance, so they scattered and fled.

The rebels actually had more than 20,000 nominal troops at that time, and at the time of the Han attack, there were still more than 10,000 armed troops stationed inside and outside the city.

But after the Han army launched a surprise attack, these people were not organized to counterattack, but fled directly.

In the end, the Han army successfully recaptured the city of Ganling, which was garrisoned by more than 20,000 rebels, with a force of 3,000 troops, and also captured the families of many of the main organizers of the rebels, especially the families of Liu Zhong, the king of Ganling, who were all wiped out by the Han army.

Xu Huang rushed to Ganling City a day later, received the results of the battle, and looked at the culprits who were arrested, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

In the end, the war did not go in a more unpredictable direction, and the political incident triggered by Liu Zhong was stopped, and so far, it has not caused more chain reactions.

Seriously, Xu Huang was really worried that those sect kings in Jizhou would rise up against Liu Bei as soon as Liu Zhong pounced on them, if that was the case, the entire Han Empire's sect king system would really have a big earthquake in a short period of time.

At that time, his jurisdiction will also have the most unpredictable rebellions due to the largest number of suzerains.

Indeed, they are all military exploits, but when it comes to King Zong's military exploits, Xu Huang really feels hot.

He is a general who pursues military merits, but he is also a calm person, after cleaning up the rebellion of the two kings in a row, Xu Huang has begun to feel a little bad, he feels that if he continues to get more military merits, or the military merits brought by the king of the sect, he will add some unnecessary political risks to himself.

This level of military merit should definitely not be that he is alone in the front, at least it should be the five tiger generals who come together, sit in rows, share the fruits, share the profits, and bear political risks together.

And the royal affairs, it is better for him not to get involved.

So Xu Huang didn't touch anything about Liu Zhong, he learned to be obedient, and he was not as arrogant as when he dealt with Liu Yu, so he and his family were directly packed up and escorted to Luoyang, and then the Ganling Palace was closed, no one was allowed to enter, and waited for the imperial court to send someone to seal it.

He himself did not set foot in the Ganling Palace.

In the next few days, Xu Huang liquidated the powerful landlords who had joined the rebels in the Ganling Kingdom, exterminated many families, confiscated a large amount of real estate, gold, silver and jewelry, and a huge number of slaves.

Subsequently, at the end of July of the first year of Zhenguan, Xu Huang learned of the war report sent by Cao Ren - the rebellion in Bohai County was successfully put down, the main official groups and the main economic base of Bohai County were still intact, and the damage caused by the rebels was limited.

The performance of the collective farm guards in Bohai County was very good, and quite a few rebels were eliminated by the collective farm's self-defense forces during the autumn breeze, and the excellent performance of the collective farm self-defense forces greatly relieved the offensive pressure of the official army, so Cao Ren suggested that Xu Huang take credit for the self-defense forces of these collective farms.

Cao Ren's suggestion reminded Xu Huang that he went all the way north and conquered all the way, and indeed found that although the scale of the Jizhou rebellion was large and the number of people was large, the damage caused to the local area was quite limited.

In the past, the rebels did limited damage to the city, and the damage to the peasant villages was great, often after a rebellion, the city may not be breached, but the agricultural villages around the county town are absolutely a mess, full of dead and displaced people who have lost their homes, and the local agricultural production will be greatly damaged, and it will not be able to recover for a long time.

Such secondary disasters of war are often a huge burden on the imperial court and local government after the war, and if one is not operated well, it is very easy to trigger a second round of civil uprising.

But this time, Xu Huang noticed that the damage to the city was limited, and the damage in other places was also very limited, and the number of displaced people he saw along the way was quite limited.

When asked again, he learned that because of the excellent organization of the collective farm, it was able to organize a farm self-defense force of more than 100 people when the rebels launched a rebellion, and relying on the weapons and defense facilities in the farm, they were able to deal well with the small rebel teams outside the large rebel army who went out to fight the autumn wind, and even caused great damage to them.

When he was in Wei County and Zhao State, some people from the collective farm self-defense forces of Wei County and Zhao County came to him with rebel heads and prisoners to ask for merit, and then they arrived in many places and found similar situations.

The rebellion of the past has been curbed to a considerable extent by the fact that some of the breached cities have been destroyed on a larger scale.

Xu Huang was very happy about this happening, and he immediately began to write a war recital, writing down the results of the war and some things on the battlefield, especially the excellent performance of the collective farm self-defense forces, and sent them to Luoyang to Liu Bei, waiting for Liu Bei's further commendation and instructions.

The war reached this point, and the rebellion caused by the Dutian Order in the Jizhou area basically came to an end.

This rebellion, which involved the fate of the two kings, has almost exhausted the strength of the reactionary forces, and the reactionary forces in Jizhou no longer have the strength and courage to launch a new round of action.

In this battle, when the huge rebel army faced the elite of the Han army, the appearance of being weak and weak did once again refresh people's concepts, making them realize that the martial arts of the Han army were indeed not ordinary.

In addition to the rebellion in the Jizhou area, the largest rebellion appeared in Yuzhou, which is directly under the Central Military Region.

But unfortunately, Yuzhou is also the radiation range of the strongest military strength of the Central Military Region, and as soon as the rebellion occurs, the army of the Central Military Region begins to spontaneously quell the rebellion, killing it quickly and quickly -

It was as if the local garrison was afraid that they would be a little slower and that other armies would rob them of their hard-won military achievements.

Coupled with the high agricultural collectivization organizations under the control of the Central Military Region, although the wealthy clans in the Yuzhou area organized more manpower, these rebel teams were a little smaller than the turmoil caused by Jizhou-

It is not even as large as the rebellion of the thieves in the southern counties and Jiangxia counties in the north of Jingzhou, which are smaller in number but have a greater impact.
