- ??
Although Li Deyi severely punished those who defected, the defection trend in Pingyuan City continued to intensify and could not be stopped at all. Killing was no longer enough to deter everyone. After all, only a few people were caught, while the majority fled to the Sui army's positions.
People's hearts are in chaos and the situation is over. Li Deyi is also very worried about this, but there is nothing he can do.
Facing the Sui army, Li Deyi also wanted to surrender, but his family knew about his family affairs and he had done too many evil things. Even if he surrendered, the Sui army would never let him go.
But he is also afraid of being captured, and Du Yanbing is a role model.
So Li Deyi had no choice but to hold on in Pingyuan City, still full of fear.
Li Deyi found it difficult to defect, but what he didn't know was that a greater crisis was approaching him.
Sui Jun wants his head, not someone else¡¯s. If he can¡¯t make a choice, someone will make it for him.
That night, Li Deyi had just executed several captured defectors. He was so angry that he couldn't sleep. He lay awake for half the night. When it was almost dawn, Li Deyi fell asleep in a daze. He didn't know what time he was when he heard his cousin Li Degu hurriedly asking for a meeting.
This cousin is responsible for guarding the west gate and is one of Li Deyi's generals.
Li Deyi knew that his cousin was usually very cautious, so if he came to see him at this time, something big would happen.
Sure enough, Li Degu reported to Li Deyi that "General Zhu He of the 'Uncle Army' attempted to surrender to the Sui army and was captured by him. He also asked Li Deyi to go and deal with the funeral arrangements."
When Li Deyi heard about this, he immediately yelled that Zhu He was not a thing. He treated Zhu He with kindness and promoted him from an unknown soldier to a general in the army, but the other party dared to betray him.
So Li Deyi went to Li Degu's army with great popularity.
Li Deyi came to the Zhongjun tent and saw Zhu He being tied up, gagged, and kneeling on the ground. Li Deyi became angry at that time, took out a whip and whipped Zhu He hard, scolding Zhu He for his disloyalty and unrighteousness.
At this moment, the cloth in Zhu He's mouth fell to the ground due to struggle, and he shouted loudly: "Big leader, run quickly, Li Degu surrendered to the Sui army."
Li Deyi was stunned for a moment. Before he could react, a long sword suddenly penetrated Li Deyi's chest and came out. The person who did it was Li Deyi's cousin Li Degu.
Li Deyi was stunned when he was hit hard suddenly. When he turned around, he saw that it was Li Degu who had succeeded. His face was blue and purple, as if he was eating someone. He tried his best to catch the opponent, but Li Degu was not afraid at all. He drew his sword, turned around and kicked him down. Li Deyi twitched twice on the ground, but there was no more movement.
Li Degu had long wanted to trade Li Deyi's head for wealth, but because of the confidant guards around Li Deyi, he didn't dare to do it easily.
As for brotherhood, it does not exist.
Li Deyi's general Zhu He was loyal and devoted to Li Deyi.
Li Degu invited Zhu He to a banquet. Zhu He was unprepared and was captured by Li Degu at the banquet. At this time, Li Degu lied that Zhu He led his troops to rebel, and asked Li Deyi to deal with Zhu He, and finally lured the unprepared Li Deyi into his army.
Li Deyi was suddenly attacked and was killed by Li Degu without any precautions. He died pitifully and humbly. As for Li Deyi's guards, they were also killed by Li Degu's officers and soldiers who rose up.
At this time, Zhu He, whose hands and feet were trapped, watched helplessly as all the people were killed, and could only curse.
Li Degu came to Zhu He with a sword and asked Zhu He with a cold face if he wanted to surrender. Zhu He was really loyal to Li Deyi. He spat a thick mouthful of phlegm into Li Degu's face with a "bah" sound and continued to curse.
Li Degu did not speak, but wiped the dirt on his face with his sleeves, then raised the knife with both hands and hacked Zhu He to death.
¡°Those who stubbornly resist will suffer the consequences!¡±
So Li Degu sent people to summon the generals, held a Hongmen Banquet, and announced the surrender of the Sui army. All the generals of the "Uncle Army" who were unwilling to follow Li Degu in surrender were executed.
Of course, only a few people are unwilling to surrender. Even Li Deyi's cousin surrendered. Who is willing to die in exchange for that humble reputation?
Li Degu gathered the troops, and sent people to contact the Sui army outside the city, and exchanged the former Pao Ze's head for the fame and wealth he had gained.
Hearing that there had been changes in the city and that some people had surrendered, Hu Lusheng was quite surprised. If these bandits were truly unwavering, they would no longer be bandits.
He ordered people to enter the city, take over the defense, collect the weapons and equipment of the remaining troops of "Uncle's Army", and reorganize his troops.
At this point, the famous "Uncle's Army" across Hebei was destroyed.
After Li Deyi was defeated, there was no longer a large number of people in Qinghe and Pingyuan counties.There are only sporadic bandits scattered throughout the country.
These bandits may number three to five thousand, or hundreds. Most of them are local black and white characters. They occupy cottages, towns, and cities, and defend themselves by danger, which is very difficult to clean up.
Hu Lusheng, Yang Yuanhong, Yang Shanhui, Wang Bian and others initially attacked the bandits separately, but they achieved half the result with twice the effort and the effect was not good. Although these people are not strong, they occupy almost all the local resources, including soldiers, food and even people's hearts. They are very difficult to deal with.
So Hu Lusheng decided to start a war that would divide and disintegrate from within, just like how he destroyed Pingyuan City before.
In fact, after so many years of banditry, the common people have long seen the true colors of these so-called rebels. Although there were all kinds of heavy corvee during the Sui Dynasty, they were miserable, but at least they could still live. But now there are so many bandits, burning, killing, looting, and wreaking havoc everywhere. Ordinary people don't even have the right or chance to live.
Hu Lu Sheng sent people everywhere to carry out rebellion propaganda, saying that as long as the tribes were willing to surrender, they would submit to the Sui Dynasty. Not only did the imperial court not punish them, it also distributed food and land to them.
"The only thing the Sui army wanted to deal with was the leader of the thieves.
The Sui army used Li Deyi's example as propaganda to encourage people to rebel.
Li Deyi died, and Li Degu and other bandits who surrendered to the Sui Dynasty were promoted to high positions and had a good future.
The propaganda of the Sui army pitted the bandit leaders against ordinary bandits, which greatly divided the general-general relationship between the bandits and bandits, allowing the government and army to take the initiative.
Hu Lusheng ordered people to sneak into the bandits' stronghold and spread the strategy of recruiting and surrendering to create chaos.
Bandits everywhere had to guard against the Sui army on the one hand, and civil strife on the other.
And in order to force the bandits, the officers and soldiers pulled and beat the bandits. Those who actively surrendered received good treatment, while those who stubbornly refused to obey were all killed by the Sui army.
Therefore, under the attack of the Sui army's carrots and sticks, various bandits scrambled to surrender, and some big thieves who had been wreaking havoc for a long time were either captured or killed by their party members.
In an instant, the entire Qinghe and Pingyuan counties were cleared of bandits.
Seeing that the Sui army was so powerful and all the bandits were destroyed, Hao Xiaode, a big bandit who was entrenched in the southern part of Qinghe County, did not dare to stay in Hebei anymore, so he led his troops across the river south and defected to the Wagang army.
