The next day, the Turkic troops divided into eight routes and rushed towards the position of the Sui army, and the Eighth Route Army came in eight directions, but none of them came towards Yang Ming's Chinese army.

Because Jieli's purpose this time is to test and see how many soldiers and horses Yang Ming has.

Knowing yourself and knowing that the enemy has won a hundred battles, if you don't even have a rough estimate of the opponent's strength, you will never take the liberty of a decisive battle.

In fact, Jieli was already weak in his heart, he didn't believe that Ge Qian was finished, if Ge Qian was not finished, there should not be so many Sui troops going north, so this time the temptation is to judge what happened to Ge Qian.

If the Sui army is really as large as the camp they arranged, then Ge Qian is more auspicious and less auspicious, as his internal response in Hebei, he is finished, and basically declares that Jieli's strategy of going south to the Central Plains is dead.

He was tempted, but Lai Hu'er didn't know, Lai Hu'er thought that this was a decisive battle, so he prepared carefully, and instructed Su Lie, Yang Yuanqing, Pei Xingyan, Lai Quan, Yang Xuanting, Hou Junji, Xu Shiji, and Han Shige's Eighth Route Cavalry to avoid the impact of the enemy, and then met the enemy with an infantry army, and the cavalry covered and responded, and put Jieli's Eighth Route Army in.

Halfway through, the Kang Sheoli people took the lead in sounding the horn of retreat, because his eyes had already seen clearly how many Sui troops there were.

What's the matter, what is the situation with Ge Qian, is this to put in the main force of the Sui army?

He ran fast, but no one else reacted.

Jieli's younger brother wants to set up, and the cavalry under his command has already made a momentum, and it is not easy to turn around like Maguire, so he can only rush and kill for a while, and then wait for an opportunity to turn.

Lai Cheng will not give him this opportunity, directly like a knife, cut off the cavalry of Desire Gu She, and those who are still behind will not care, those who have entered the range of the bow and crossbow will be flanked by the infantry of Lai Cheng and Zhang Dinghe, and they will be eaten like this, and Desire Gu She will be cut into minced meat.

Lai Hu'er is not good at defense, but this time he is not using miscellaneous soldiers, about the elite of the Zhongwei Mansion, the left and right guards of the East Palace, the Luoyang garrison, and the Hedong soldiers, which is not much different in the Great Sui, and the left and right Yiwei and the left and right Reserve Mansion.

The quality of the soldiers is too high, and it will undoubtedly improve the defensive ability of Laihu'er, and you put Maldini, Cannavaro, and Cafu in the back line, and you let Li Tie be the coach, and it is not easy to lose.

This tentative onslaught of the Turks resulted in heavy losses, and 6,000 people were thrown on the battlefield, never to return.

Lai Hu'er did not stop there, but commanded the army to continue to move forward, this is called taking advantage of your illness to kill you, he is already good at organizing large corps to fight, and he is also one of the few people with this ability in today's Great Sui.

Li Jing is not good now, and Xu Shiji is even worse.

Jieli was already panicking, Zhao Deyan advised him to avoid the edge for the time being, but he didn't listen, because the Turks are heavy warriors, and he has not completely controlled the Eastern Turks now, if he runs away like this, his face will be damaged after he returns, and the royal court will inevitably be turbulent.

The Turks are not afraid of defeat, they are afraid that you will not fight.

So Jieli commanded the army, marched on all fronts, and a super-large-scale plain decisive battle was staged in Zhuo County.

The sound of killing shook the sky, and blood flowed everywhere.

This decisive battle lasted two days and two nights, and on the Sui side, Chen Junbin, Xiong Bao, Han Xiaoji, and Lai Hong died in battle.

The Turks were defeated, the three leaders of Suni, Qi Jishe, and Simo were killed, Sijie and Kang Sumi were captured, and the remnants of the remnants fled to the direction of Yanshan.

The chieftain of the Yan Dynasty suddenly surrendered, and the Khitan army fled to the northeast.

In this battle, the Eastern Turks lost 35,000 casualties, captured 13,000, and the rest fled in all directions.

With Gao Kaidao arriving at the Juma River with Geqian's head, the Hebei Rebellion came to an end.

Su Lie was the main general, and took Liang Shidu, Luo Shixin, Qin Shubao, and Cheng Yanjin over the Yanshan Mountains, went deep into the grassland, and chased Jieli.

On September 21, the army went north and entered Jixian County, the capital of Zhuo County, and Yang Ming ordered Luoyang Dugu to immediately transfer ships to the north along the canal, and during the time when the ships arrived at Zhuo County, the army would rest here, and then it would go south along the river to sweep Shandong and Jiangnan.

Zhuojun County guarded the mansion, and the generals were in a good mood, and Yang Ming ordered the people to offer wine and meat to reward the three armies.

This folk is not the common people, the common people have no wine and no meat at home, mainly those landlord class, to put it bluntly, it is Yang Ming who changed the landlord to the landlord.

If you ask for it, if you don't give it, the people below will definitely rob it, so you should be decent.

The soldiers have won a big victory, you have to give benefits, less, and you have to give less, after all, everyone is trying to be a benefit.

If you can't appease the soldiers under your command, it will be very troublesome.

"What do you think should happen to this person?" Yang Ming sat on the main seat and smiled at everyone.

He was talking about Gao Kaidao, Yang Ming was polite to Gao Kaidao, gave him a seat cushion, and let him sit in the center of the lobby.

Gao Kaidao didn't feel embarrassed, he sat down with a butt, he felt that he must be a death, what about the death row inmates in the big prison who gave him a good meal before he died, I can't sit down yet?

In the lobby, the high-ranking generals were full, and more than 100 people had just come down from the battlefield, and they were vicious.

Yang Xuanzong was already able to sit, no longer had to lie on his stomach, he sneered:

"I thought that if we carried Geqian's head, we would spare him, this person's brain is not very good."

The third brother laughed: "What the second brother said, if the brain is not good, people will not appear here, I think this person is very smart, are you right, Qi Guogong?" ”

Gao Shengdao also came, he was the one with the most complicated mood in the entire hall, and his younger brother Gao Biaoren and son Gao Zhan were also ashamed and drooped their heads.

Gao Shida of Sinto County also surrendered, and is now being held outside.

In the face of Xuan Ting's ridicule, Gao Shengdao looked at Yang Ming and said ashamedly: "It's all the minister's fault, it's the minister's failure to restrain the children of the clan, and the minister is willing to accept the guilt." ”

Yang Ming smiled: "Sheng Dao's prestige in the clan is actually not enough to be the head of the family, when they elected you, you should have guessed that they were playing a trick on you, it is difficult for a clean official to judge family affairs, and you are at most a crime of lax family style." ”

Gao Zhan heard that the prince exonerated his father, and hurriedly pointed at Gao Kaidao and scolded: "You were picked up by your grandfather, and you were entrusted with a heavy task by your grandfather, how can you do such a rebellious thing?" harm my relatives. ”

Gao Kaidao and Gao Shida were both cultivated by Gao Xi, so in the Hebei Rebellion, there were many voices complaining about Gao Xi in the Jingshi.

Although Gao Xi did not say bad things about Yang Guang in front of the children of the clan, Gao Shida and Gao Kaidao both knew that Gao Xi was unhappy with the emperor and complained very much, and the two of them inherited Gao Xi's grievances.

Gao Kaidao is also a smart person, and in the face of reprimand, he said with a look of grievance: "I was also bewitched by the thief, so I made this big mistake, but fortunately, I repented in time, so that the blood would not flow into the river." ”

If you have committed a serious crime, you must not admit your guilt, no matter what kind of punishment you receive, because it is not a question of killing you, it is a question of how much you die.

If you dare to admit the great crime of rebellion, you will dare to destroy your three clans.

As long as you bite your mouth to death, someone will help you get rid of your crimes, and you can die as little as possible.

Gao Kaidao recognized forty righteous sons among the rebels, but his own son was hidden in his hometown of Beixian, and he changed his name and surname, just to deal with today's situation.

In ancient times, if you are not afraid of a dead wife, you are afraid of killing your son.

"The rebellion in Hebei, the dust has settled, and the minister thinks that Hebei needs to be appeased, and the fewer dead people the better," said Laihu'er.

People see that Yang Ming will not completely destroy the old Gao family, and to be honest, too many people have died in Hebei, the knife should be stopped, if you can't kill it, let's not kill it again.

What he meant was not to let Gao Kaidao go, Gao Kaidao was bound to die, so how many of those who were implicated by Gao Kaidao could be killed or not, it was negotiable.

Yang Ming nodded, looked at Gao Sachs and said, "How many sons does he have?" ”

Gao Kaidao was suddenly shocked, and looked at his clan brother, hoping that the other party could save him.

But how could Goldman Sachs deceive Yang Ming?

"Four sons, two daughters," Goldman replied honestly.

The high opening of the road is like dead ashes, and close your eyes.

"Not only the children, but also the three clans, none of them can be let go this time," Zhang Dinghe said: "Such a thief, killing him is not enough to make the people angry." ”

Pei Xingyan, who was injured, also gritted his teeth and said: "If you want me to say, except for Dugu Gong's lineage, the other rooms should be killed." ”

The corners of Gao Biaoren's mouth twitched, are you trying to ruin my court?

Dou Jiande took a deep breath, got up and said: "The last general thinks that Gao Kaidao has made meritorious contributions to the army, and he can be exempted from his crimes as appropriate." ”

"After all, it is a surrender, and the handling is too ruthless, which is not conducive to our army's southward movement," Xue Shui also suggested.

"You fart!" Yang Yuanqing said: "Is this also called Toucheng? The turtle in the urn crawled out of the urn, this is surrender, the difference between one word and the difference is big. ”

Xue Shui suddenly rolled his eyes: "I said Da Lang, can we stop scolding?" ”

Yang Yuanqing is this habit of speaking, everyone is used to it, and they don't care, because they all know that Yuanqing is not really scolding, it is a mantra.

Gao Kaidao surrendered, he surrendered with 100,000 rebels, and there are a lot of generals, if you do him too ruthlessly, I'm afraid the people below will think too much.

But if you don't do it ruthlessly, you can't do it, after all, this is a thief.

Don't look at Ge Qian, everyone knows that Ge Qian is just a puppet.

Dou Jiande in history can't be killed, because the rebellion is made by the Yang family, and it has nothing to do with Li Yuan, Li Yuan can be kept for an idle errand to appease Hebei, but this life is different, they are all the rebellion of the old Yang, and the Yang family has not fallen yet, so Gao Kaidao will not be allowed to live.

Yang Ming pondered for a moment and said: "Keep his eldest son, the remaining son will be killed, the two daughters will be reduced to slaves, and the others will not be held accountable." ”

"Your Highness," a group of people stood up one after another to persuade Yang Ming, and they felt that Yang Ming had done it too lightly.

Yang Ming also has his own considerations, Shandong Jiangnan has not stopped yet, you are too ruthless in Hebei, and if you go to Jiangnan in the future, no one will necessarily be willing to surrender.

These are times of war, and there are some things that need to be handled with caution.

"Resolute has been decided, there is no need to persuade again, Gao Kaidao will show the public, and pass on the first Jingshi," Yang Ming looked at Gao Kaidao and said: "All the generals under your command, those with high surnames will be killed, and the rest will be exempted from punishment as appropriate, so as not to harm their descendants." ”

Gao Kaidao gritted his teeth and kowtowed heavily to Yang Ming:

"Bohai is open high, thank you."

Yang Ming left him an eldest son, this is kindness, he will not be cut off from his children and grandchildren, and he can be regarded as blind.
