Just in case, Li Yue also asked Xu Cheng to lead a battalion of 2,000 Xiao cavalry to the south to avoid a collective riot.

However, Liang Xiao handled it cleanly, and a Hongmen banquet quickly uprooted Du Neng, and more than 4,000 parts under his command were also controlled.

Du Neng and his cronies were escorted to the Chinese army camp.

Li Yue originally had the right to fake Ran Min's festival, and he could behead people who violated military law in wartime.

If you don't check, you won't know, but if you check, you'll find that what you see is the tip of the iceberg.

The appearance of a praying mantis means that there is a nest of praying mantis in an invisible place.

Killing good people and risking merit is nothing new, and the righteous soldiers have done it more or less, and some people even cut off the heads of the robes who died in battle, pretending to be the head of the enemy army, just in exchange for those buckets of food.

It's just that Du Neng did it with great fanfare, and his hands and feet once went deep into Beihai, Qi County, Mount Tai and other places.

On the one hand, he took the opportunity to coerce the young and strong, plundering grain and grass, and on the other hand, he beheaded those who refused to give in as enemy troops, and exchanged their heads for food for the Black Cloud Army.

At the time of the dispatch of troops, Du Neng had less than 3,000 troops, but now there are more than 4,700 people, and a large number of looted women, food, and money and silk have been found in the camp.

Earn a lot of money.

The evidence is conclusive, and the argument is irrefutable.

"If you don't kill such thieves, it's not enough for the people to be angry, and it's not enough to uphold military law." Jia Jian sighed.

Chen Duan was furious, "The face of the beggar army was thrown away by such people, and it should be cut with a thousand knives." ”

Ding Rao and Sun Yuan looked ugly.

Zhu Bald was originally invited to this trial, but this person was weak and did not dare to come.

Ding Rao and Sun Yuan, who were close to him, came instead.

If you dare to come, you will have a clear conscience, and if you dare not come, you will have a problem.

"What else do you have to say?" Li Yue's face turned pale.

It's just that the Hu people brutalized the Chinese people, but they didn't expect their own people to be more ruthless.

Of the scouts and school affairs that could be found, there were more than 3,600 people who died at the hands of Du Neng, and I don't know how many were not found.

"The subordinates were stunned for a while, and the crime was unforgivable, but I hope that the governor will give him a chance to let his subordinates go into battle and fight to the death with the Hu people, and make meritorious contributions!" Du Neng is also a person who has experienced strong winds and waves, and knows that it is useless to beg for mercy, so he changes his way.

However, this kind of person, Li Yue didn't dare to believe him anymore.

When he really arrives on the battlefield, who knows if he will defect.

"If you wear the crime and make meritorious service, you will be exempted, and if you come to drag it down, all of them will be cut in half, and the heads of all departments will join the army." Li Yue's heart was already like a stone.

It was the first time since the descent from the mountain that such torture had been used.

But it is also a last resort, in fact, many people are not afraid of death at all these days, especially these people who lick blood at the tip of the knife, and they can't be suppressed without torture.

"You...... If you dare to kill someone today, someone will turn against you tomorrow! Du Neng burst into flames and wanted to pounce up, his eyes were about to pop out of his sockets, and the three guards held him down.

Li Yue sneered: "Oh? Tell me who is going to be against? Pontus wished they were jumping out now! ”

Du Neng refused to give up the last chance, "Say it, can you exchange my life?" ”

"Drag it off." Li Yue waved his hand, too lazy to ramble with him again.

Since you dare to do it, you are not afraid of others rebelling.

After a short time, there were bursts of screams outside the camp, and Du Neng and fifty-six of his cronies were all beheaded.

They are absolutely worthy of this torture compared to the evil deeds they have committed.

Ding Rao, Sun Yuan and others were silent.

Subsequently, Du Neng's head was sent to all parts of the Righteous Army, which did not cause much shock, and Du Neng died under military law in a dignified manner, and no one found fault with it.

Only five or six detachments of men and horses led the people to say goodbye.

Li Yue did not force him to stay, the war itself is a screening process, those who left were not fellow travelers, and those who stayed could be fought for in the future.

As long as the Cui family, the Zheng family, and Jia Jian, the great heroes of the Dashi clan, do not leave, the situation is still under control.

After killing Du Neng, the rebel army had more rules, but they were also much more cautious, and no longer took the initiative to attack Yao Xiang and Shi Kun, and began to get by.

The battlefield is at a stalemate.

Yao Xiang and Shi Kun have 300,000 horses, and with such a scale, it is impossible to decide the winner in a short period of time.

The Battle of Guanggu was not isolated, it was closely related to the Battle of Weichang and the situation in the south.

Domino effect.

Zhongshan soon sent a secret report that after Ran Min won three battles and three victories, he won two more games, and also killed the rebel general Duan Gong, pressing Murong Ke's tens of thousands of troops to fight.

However, although the Wei army won, the situation is not optimistic.

The 10,000 elites who went out on the expedition were lost by three percent, and the soldiers fought one after another, and under the disturbance of Murong Ke's light cavalry, they could not get rest, the rear supply was difficult, the army was short of food, the war horses were not well fed, and they became weaker and weaker, and the horsepower gradually became weak, and there were three or four hundred war horses killed every day.

Coupled with the attrition on the battlefield, the original 7,000 elite cavalry can only maintain 2,000 cavalry now, and it is still declining.

Dong Yan and Zhang Wen persuaded Ran Min several times to accept it when he saw it and go back to defend Xiangguo or Yecheng, but Ran Min was immersed in the pleasure of five battles and five victories, and vowed not to give up if he did not kill Murong.

With the experience of Wei Hu and Wang Tai, Dong Yan and Zhang Wen did not dare to persuade again, and if they persuaded again, they would have to die, and if they didn't get the lives of the whole clan, they would have to accompany them.

"Governor, Zhu Bald sent envoys to Yao Xiang and Xiapi last night!" The school affairs came early in the morning to report.

"Okay." Li Yue was not too surprised.

Du Neng was killed, the biggest impact was Zhu Bald, the two had a good relationship before, one was in Leling, the other was in the plain, they were each other's lips and teeth, advancing and retreating together.

His lips are cold and his teeth are cold, and Zhu Bald's betrayal is sooner or later, so the scouts and school officials have long been watching his every move.

This person has never had a good reputation in the lower reaches of the Yellow River.

During the trial of Du Neng, Li Yue summoned him to come, but he excused himself on the grounds that he was injured.

"The governor wants to take two Huai, and the key falls on Zhu Bald!" Chang Wei got up earlier, and got up every day at dawn to freshen up and deal with various official duties.

"Jiangdong has always been timid, but I'm afraid that Xun Xian may not dare to go north." Li Yue said with a smile.

"Ordinary times must be unwilling, but Yin Hao's Northern Expedition failed, Wang Xie Xunyin and other Jiangdong scholars urgently need to save face, otherwise Huan Wen will not be able to pass that pass, subordinates feel that Yao Xiang and Shi Kun 300,000 people, our army may not be able to annex them all, it is better to drive them south, Yao Xiang is ambitious, Jiangdong scholars have always been afraid of the northern generals, Yin Hao, Xie Shang since they squeezed out Zhang Yu, they will not be able to tolerate Yao Xiang!"

Sun Tzu has a saying in the Art of War: Move if it is in line with profit, and stop if it is not in line with profit.

Yao Xiang and Shi Kun, these 300,000 people can't hold out, they have been consumed, and the outcome is unpredictable.

The Yan Kingdom is eyeing the north, and the Black Cloud Army is so elite.

Ran Min is a good example, fighting for the sake of war, winning big victories again and again, but Ran Wei is getting weaker and weaker the more he fights.

Li Yue sorted out his thoughts, "Mr. is generous, but it also depends on the movements of Yao Xiang and Shi Kun." ”

It can only be said that Zhu Bald has brought a chance to break the situation, but how the situation develops depends on how Yao Xiang, Xun Xian and others choose.
