- Hu Lusheng took Yingchuan County and left Song Junming's troops to manage this area, while the main force turned southeast and attacked Huaiyang County.
The prefect of Huaiyang County is Zhao Tuo, a veteran Sui official, the pursuer of Li Mi's whereabouts, and the only two prefects in the Sui Dynasty who defected to Li Mi.
However, although Zhao Tuo surrendered, Li Mi did not trust him. At this time, most of the military power in Huaiyang County was in the hands of Fang Yanzao's general Shen Yue.
After Li Mi's defeat, Zhao Tuo wanted to surrender to the Sui Dynasty, but he did not have military power and did not dare to move at all.
But after all, Zhao Tuo has been running Huaiyang County for many years and has great influence in the county. Although he can't defeat Shen Yue, he can do bad things.
After Hulu Sheng entered Huaiyang County, he surrounded the city of Wanqiu (now Huaiyang County, Henan Province).
Shen Yue held on and waited for Fang Yanzao's rescue.
At this time, Zhao Tuo took the opportunity to conspire with the big households in the city, opened the Wanqiu city gate, and led the Sui army into the city.
The army of Long Xiangwei entered the city and quickly broke through the city. Shen Yue died in the battle, and the rest of the tribes surrendered. At this point, the Sui army recovered Huaiyang County, an important area in Henan.
For the Sui army, Zhao Tuo naturally could not stay, and some large households who could open the city gates were also a source of danger. Although these people surrendered, their loyalty was almost zero and they were not trustworthy.
Hu Lusheng still used the same trick, follow the army.
Bringing these people into the army, it¡¯s up to him how to deal with them in the future. Although those big families couldn't use this method, Hu Lusheng took away their private soldiers, domestic slaves, and tribes, which greatly weakened the strength of these people.
Huang Mingyuan has only occupied most of the counties in Henan, and there is still a long way to go before he can truly control all places.
And according to Huang Mingyuan's previous methods, I'm afraid it will be another bloody storm.
¡°It¡¯s no wonder that Huang Mingyuan had to clean it up many times. If he didn¡¯t do this, he really wouldn¡¯t be able to deal with the gangsters entrenched in the local area.
After conquering Huaiyang County, Hulv Sheng continued to attack Qiao County from the side. At this time, Hu Lusheng had two troops and horses in his hands, as well as seven or eight thousand surrendered troops.
For Hu Lu, whether it is Yingchuan County or Huaiyang County, apart from the real control of the county governance, the counties below are only nominally affiliated. Then when new officials took office, appeasement of local areas, reorganization of household registration, and land surveying were the affairs of local officials, but they were also inseparable from the army.
Each of the two counties retains an army, with neither too many nor too few troops, enough to suppress possible chaos. It only affected the strength of the main force, and Hu Lusheng had to drop his troops to fill the role.
Hu Lusheng made rapid progress, which solved Wang Bian's problem.
Although Fang Yanzao has strength, he does not have enough available troops. He has tried his best to resist Wang Bian's troops in the north with the main force, and there is no spare power to guard against Hu Lusheng in the west.
Soon Longxiang Guards broke through Guyang, and Konghe Guards completely surrounded Fang Yanzao in Qiao County.
Because of Li Mi's flight south and the unfavorable war situation, the situation in Qiao County was not good. The two armies of the Sui army totaled forty to fifty thousand, and the main force of the direct line alone numbered more than thirty thousand.
Such an army surrounded the small town of Qiao County, and its deterrent power alone was astonishing.
Soon, a large number of deserters appeared in the city and surrendered to the Sui army.
Fang Yanzao is a ruthless man. He sees that people's hearts are losing ground day by day, and the army has no fighting spirit. If this continues, it won't be long before the entire Qiao County city surrenders without a fight.
So Fang Yanzao used torture to strictly control everyone.
Fang Yanzao ordered that if a person in the family escapes, the whole family, young and old, will be implicated in being killed. Fathers, sons, brothers, and husbands and wives can be exempted from guilt as long as they report. He also ordered the five families to act as one protector and supervise each other. If someone defected as a whole family without the neighbors noticing, the surrounding neighbors would be executed.
Fang Yanzao made such a move, and the entire Qiao County immediately went into panic.
But no matter how severe the punishment is, it cannot stop those who want to escape. As a result, people were executed one after another, and the defections of the residents in the city became more and more serious. Fang Yanzao's heart is as hard as iron, and he will kill everyone without mercy, so he puts both public and private people in danger, fearing that he will be punished.
But this could not prevent armies from surrendering in droves.
In the end, Fang Yanzao had no choice but to order the generals to fight on the city wall, while his relatives were detained in the county government as hostages. The entire county became a prison. In the end, as long as a small leader, even the corps commander or the fire chief, had to place his family members in the county.
Qiao County has a small population and a small city. With the sudden influx of a large number of troops, the food supply was immediately insufficient.
However, the Sui army strictly sealed off the outside, completely cutting off the inside and outside, and there was no way to replenish the city. 强牺 bxwx.co 读牺
Fang Yan?Then he ordered that all the people's food be collected and supplied uniformly. Anyone who disobeys the order will be put to death. The people were afraid of Fang Yanzao's butcher knife, so they had to hand over the rations to survive.
But this still leaves insufficient food.
So at first, the government provided food rations to the people as agreed, but soon began to reduce the proportion of food supplies. In the end, food became increasingly scarce and could only meet the needs of the officers and soldiers guarding the city. Fang Yanzao ordered to cut off civilian food supplies and only provide food to the army.
For Fang Yanzao, the officers and soldiers had to resist the Sui army, so they were the first priority, but the common people had no choice.
Soon, countless people in the city died of hunger because there was no food.
In order to survive, ordinary people will eat anything alive. Some people collect soil and put it into an earthen jar, wash it with water, wait for the sand and gravel to sink to the bottom, take out the mud floating on the top, mix the bran into it, and make pancakes to eat. Because of eating dirt, everyone's body was swollen and their legs and feet were weak. They were skinny but had a swollen belly. They had to lie on the road waiting to die.
In the end, the people in the city could only survive by eating human flesh, and later they almost ran out of human flesh.
Originally, food was provided to the hostages in the county government. Later, the food was insufficient and had to be provided exclusively to the army. As a result, many of the hostages in the county government starved to death.
When the news came out, it exploded.
For these generals, Ben Jiu was very angry because of the hostage situation. Now that his family members were all starved to death in the county, there was nothing else they dared to do.
So more and more people agitated to surrender to the Sui army.
At this time, Fang Xianbo of Ruyin County led his army to support.
Fang Xianbo was a younger brother of Fang Yanzao. He led his army to capture Ruyin County for Li Mi and was appointed as the general manager of Yingzhou.
It¡¯s a pity that it¡¯s useless for anyone to come now. This time bx wx .co Zhang Si
Fang Xianbo led his troops to be ambushed by Hu Lusheng's army twenty-five miles southwest of Qiao County. His troops were greatly defeated, and Fang Xianbo also died in the rebellion.
There are no more reinforcements in Qiao County.
Maybe the defenders were really desperate, or maybe Fang Yanzao's strong oppression finally angered everyone. Two days later, turmoil broke out in the city, starting with the army, and then spread to the whole city. Zhida z.com Zhixiao
Fang Yanzao fought desperately and was killed by the rebel army. Finally, he was chewed to pieces by the common people in the city, one bite at a time.
When the Sui army entered the city, they saw corpses scattered all over the city, like ghosts.
However, this battle can be regarded as the complete annihilation of the main force of Fang Yanzao. Soon after, the Sui army completely recovered Qiao County and Ruyin County
