Chapter 2153 Pacification of Henan (Part 2)

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    After a bloody battle in Qiao County, Hu Lusheng and Wang Bian finally defeated Wei Guo Zuo Shi Fang Yanzao and removed the biggest obstacle to pacifying Henan.  After the war, Hulu Sheng ordered Wang Bian to strategize Qiao County and Ruyin County, and then led his army westward to attack Runan and Huai'an County.

    The two counties are the land of Huaixi in later generations (Huaixi is a geographical term, and its location is different in different periods. Before the Northern Song Dynasty, Huaixi generally referred to southern Henan), a truly chaotic place in Chinese history.  Let¡¯s put it this way, from the beginning of the pre-Qin Dynasty to later generations, there has never been a shortage of strong soldiers, such as the Gepo Yellow Turban, the Runan soldiers of the Three Kingdoms and Two Jin Dynasties, the Huaixi rebels of the Tang Dynasty, the donkey and mule soldiers, the Caizhou soldiers of the Song Dynasty, the Dabie Mountains, etc.  .

    At this time, these two counties were controlled by three people, namely Yang Zhongda in the western part of Runan County, Yang Shilin in most of Runan County and Huai'an County, and Tian Zan in the western part of Huai'an County.

    These three people were all subordinates of Garuda King Zhu Can. Later, they betrayed Zhu Can and became heroes.

    After Li Mi became stronger, the three of them surrendered to Li Mi. After Li Mi was defeated, the three of them prepared to surrender to the Sui army.

    The three of them are from powerful local backgrounds and value profits rather than justice. For the three of them, as long as they can keep their rights, it doesn't matter who is the father.

    However, after the three surrender letters were sent out, they ran into trouble.  The Sui army's reaction was different from what they expected.  Of course the Sui army accepted their surrender, but there were conditions. They could surrender, but they had to hand over their troops and territory.

    ?? &#24378&#29306&#32&#121&#117&#110&#120&#117&#97&#110&#103&#101&#46&#111&#114&#103&#32&#35835&#29306&#12290This hit the weak spot of the three of them.

    For this group of people, territory may not be important, and official positions may be acceptable.  But there is only one thing that belongs to this group of people, and that is the army.

    It can be said that the army is not father and mother, but it is closer than father and mother.  The army is not my wife, but it is more important than my wife.

    Getting these people to hand over their troops almost cost them their lives.

    "This group of people also know that they have no ability to govern the country, nor do they have a prominent family background.  It is scary to think about surrendering the army and losing the current power and status. I can only become a small official in the corner of the Sui army. I will be a small person for the rest of my life.

    So the three of them unanimously chose to reject the Sui army.

    I would rather have a chicken head than a phoenix tail.

    But it is easy to refuse, but it is difficult to survive the attack of the Sui army.

    Although the three of them believe that their strength is not weak, if they want to resist the Sui army, it is probably an extravagant hope.

    So the three of them planned to join forces and look for an opportunity to defeat the Sui army for a while, and then negotiate terms with the Sui army.  If it didn't work out, he would go south and seek refuge with Emperor Liang Xiao Xian. Anyway, he couldn't give up the capital of saving his life.

    Among the three, Yang Shilin is the most powerful and has the most say. He is the leader among the three.  For example, Tian Zan was originally Yang Shilin's old subordinate.

    At this time, Hu Lusheng marched westward and attacked Xincai County, Yang Zhongda's hometown. Yang Shilin and Tian Zan led their troops to rescue.

    Hu L¨¹sheng had more than 20,000 troops, and he stationed his troops at the foot of Xincai City.

    Before Hulv Sheng marched westward, Huang Mingyuan wrote to him, saying, "The soldiers in Runan County are fierce, and they are often the source of unrest, so they need to be dealt with carefully." He asked Hulv Sheng to attack carefully, and at the same time, stabilize the place as much as possible to prevent repeated attacks.  .

    The bandit army was indeed powerful. With Xinchaicheng as the core, they deployed defenses along the Pianshui River (the Hong River below Shangcai County, Henan Province).  The Sui army attacked many times but could not defeat the enemy.

    In the end, Hu Lusheng had no choice but to order people to block the Caishui River and drain the Caishui River to flood Xincai City.

    I have to say, this move is really cruel.  Although it is winter now, there is still a lot of water in the river.  The bandits' position was on the west bank of the Pishui River. The rolling flood came from the south and was blocked by the east bank embankment. It flowed into the west bank and broke through the bandits' camp.

    The main force of Longxiang Guard took the opportunity to cross the river, quickly defeated the enemy on the opposite side, and surrounded Xincai City.

    The Sui army numbered only 20,000, and Er Yang and Tian Zan had more than 30,000 in their hands. However, they were trapped in the city and were frightened by the Sui army's cavalry, so they did not dare to fight.

    Hu Lusheng then ordered the cavalry to attack the hinterland of Eryang to the west to disrupt the morale of his army.

    The hometowns of these soldiers are unstable, but they can still hold on patiently.

    Soon, the morale of the army was in chaos, and the thoughts of Er Yang and Tian Zan began to change.

    It has to be said that bandits value military power the most, but if compared with their own lives, it is far behind.  At this time, Er Yang still wanted to continue to resist, so he prepared to concentrate his troops and break out of the encirclement and go south, but Tian Zan had other ideas.

    Everyone was trapped in Xincai and suffered heavy losses. They may not be able to save their old nest.  Now even if we can really break out of the siege, what's the point of going south to Jingxiang and defecting to Xiao Xian.

    Can it be possible to establish a foothold in Jingxiang with just these few thousand people?On the contrary, it is better to take advantage of the fact that the territory in hand has not been occupied by the Sui army, and there are still thousands of troops left, and surrender to the Sui army, at least to ensure peace and security.

    Tian Zan therefore proposed to the two of them, but was blocked by Yang Shilin.

    "Old Tian, ??you have forgotten how many people we killed when we followed Zhu Can. The Sui army has always been strict with the rebels who massacred the common people. Even if they surrender, they will not end well."

    Among the three, Yang Shilin was the eldest, and Tian Zan had always followed him. Seeing Yang Shilin's opposition, Tian Zan didn't dare to mention it anymore.

    However, Tian Zan did not give up this idea.

    Although what Yang Shilin said is true, Tian Zan did not massacre the city on a large scale, so his reputation is not bad.  Coupled with the credit for surrender, the Sui army could really not give him a way to survive.

    At this time, Tian Zan¡¯s counselor cousin Tian Xingyi suggested that since Er Yang was determined to carry him to death, it would be better to use Er Yang¡¯s head to change his future with the Sui army.

    Tian Zan¡¯s territory and strength are insufficient, so he cannot get any good officials, but if Er Yang¡¯s head is added, the result will be different.

    Tian Zan was a little tempted after hearing this.

    For people like Tian Zan, no matter how close they are to each other on weekdays, they are actually a group of fair-weather friends. It is impossible to be sincere.

    Tian Xingyi suggested that the last resort is to secretly capture the two men, then control Xincai, and then surrender.

    But Tian Zan wanted to do this, but after calculation, he was really powerless and unable to control Xincai.

    This time z.com Zhang Si.  So Tian Zan used Tian Xingyi as an envoy to go to the Sui army to discuss surrender.

    Sure enough, Hu Lusheng was looking forward to it. That night, Tian Zan opened the gate of Xincai City and led the Sui army into the city.

    Er Yang was still discussing how to break out of the encirclement when he was stunned by the sudden intrusion of the Sui army.

    Zhida z.com Zhixiao.  During the chaotic battle, Yang Zhongda was killed by the rebel army and Yang Shilin was also captured.

    In the end, Hu Lusheng chopped off Yang Shilin's head in Xincai City and held it as a warning to the captured soldiers.

    In the past, Yang Shilin, Yang Zhongda, and Tian Zan joined Zhu Can's army as local powerful men, and then turned back because of Zhu Can's brutal killing. After many twists and turns, they have the strength they have today.  In the end, Tian Zan survived alone and traded his brother's head for a new career. This can be regarded as proving that those who understand current affairs are heroes.

    After the Battle of Xincai, the main force of Longxiang Guard was divided into small groups, and the two counties and sixteen counties were quickly conquered.

    Later, Lu Zushang, who occupied Guangzhou (Yiyang County), led the entire county to surrender to the Sui army; Zhou Yu, the prime minister of Yiyang County, also surrendered the entire county to the Sui army, and all counties in Huaixi were peaceful
