sweeping the world

Chapter 473

First Jitouguan, then Jigu, after Huan Wen decided to recruit and accept the rebels, the Han army's next advance became extremely smooth, most of them were accepting the surrender of the defenders, and only some areas needed to be conquered.

There are many reasons why most of Li's defenders in northern Han surrendered without a fight. After the Han army invaded, the offensive was too fast and too fierce. The most important factor was Li Yi's betrayal.

The reason for Li Yi's rebellion is quite simple. His status is high enough, and he knows the current situation of Li Chenghan, the long-term internal turmoil, and more than one rebellion after the new king ascended the throne. Killing, the entire Li family Chenghan has not many state cadres, and some are opportunists like him.

A king who is useless is even more stupid, and a high-level country composed of opportunists will sooner or later be overthrown by the people after causing anger and grievances when there is no external threat.

As the Tai Bao, Li Yi decided to abandon the dark and turn to the bright. He didn't expend too much effort at Jitouguan. He just set up a game and killed the captain of the pass. Fu An's defenders were immediately in his hands, and the next moment was the switch. surrender.

The process of fighting for Jigu was not too complicated. Li Yi led the Han army wearing Li's Chenghan military uniform and easily captured most of Guancheng along the way. It was only when they captured the main camp of Jigu that the fierce battle broke out. However, because Li Shi Chenghan's troops really couldn't recover from the rapidly changing situation. The competition for the main market seemed fierce, but nothing could be changed.

In April of the fourth year of Yuanshuo, the Han army in the front was only 27 miles away from Nanzheng. They disguised themselves as Li's Chenghan troops. There is a small town called Huangsha in front of Zheng.

The yellow sand is less than six miles away from the exit of Baoxie Road, and within ten miles of the east bank of Baoshui.As a city built during the Shu Han Dynasty, it was originally a military fortress. It has gradually become an ordinary city for the settlement of ordinary people in the long history of uninterrupted flow.

As the main general Zan Jian who resisted the Han army in the north, he deployed [-] defenders in the small town of Huangsha. After all, Huangsha is located not far from the exit of Baoxie Road. The importance of this location has been shown in the Shuhan period. Otherwise, the city will not be built.

Because of Li Yi's betrayal, not only was Zan Jian in Nanzheng ignorant of the development of the war, but also the defenders in Huangsha didn't know what the situation ahead was. There were not many Han troops in disguise. The warrant easily allowed the Huangsha defenders to open the city gate.

The soldiers guarding the city gates of the Cheng Han family of the Li family were full of doubts. The average height of the Shu land is only about 1.6 meters, but some immigrants from Guanzhong are generally above 1.7 meters, but the Cheng Han family of the Li family is a Di people regime. As a result, when Li's Chenghan recruited soldiers, he gave priority to ethnic groups who were also Hu people. Most Hu people were about 1.5 meters tall, and Jin people who were relatively taller were rarely recruited.

The average height of the Miao descendants of the Han family in the Central Plains is over 1.7 meters. The soldiers of the Han army are the Miao descendants of the Han family in the Central Plains.

"Go!"

Just like the previous few times, the difference in height caused a huge hole in the disguise after approaching. As a result, it was impossible to enter the city completely relying on the disguise, and could only do it directly at the city gate.

At the beginning of the fighting, the shouts of killing in different languages ​​resounded from the city gate to the city, and the small number of Han troops gradually rushed inward after controlling the city.

A fierce battle broke out in Huangsha, and the undisguised Han army appeared in the area that could be seen from the top of the city.

On the other side of the horizon with the mountainous area as the background, banners appeared first, and a long black shadow moved forward. It took enough soldiers to form a large black shadow.

There is a saying that Wangshan ran dead horses, and Wangcheng also ran dead horses. However, the Han army on this road did not have many cavalry due to the factors of the plank road. They could clearly see the city in the distance. Getting there is not that easy.

"Don't worry." Liu Rui was trotting along with the troops while talking: "Lin Feng brought all the forwards, and he will definitely firmly control the city gate."

That's right, Liu Rui's troops were once again singled out as the vanguard, and Lin Feng, a military commander Liu Rui was accustomed to, was sent to seize the city gate of Huangsha.

Every soldier of the Han army is trotting, and they still need to run six or seven miles to reach Huangsha. There are more than 700 Paoze in front of them who are fighting bloody battles.

Huangsha is really a small city, with a permanent population of no more than [-]. Most of them are Qiang and Di people, and the minority are Zahu and Han Miao. After the [-] defenders settled in, the city became very crowded.

A fierce battle broke out on the northern city wall, and the news spread quickly throughout the city. Of course, the defenders immediately rushed to support, and the reactions of the people cannot be described one by one.

To be honest, he is a Miao descendant of the Han family living in Huangsha City. There are six people in his family, a daughter-in-law, three sons and a daughter. The oldest son is 19 years old, and the youngest daughter is only three years old.

The news that the Han army is going to fight over has been spreading for a long time, and the news that the Hu people launched a racial vendetta earlier has long been there. Compared with the Central Plains, the situation of racial vendettas in Li's Cheng Han is not serious. That's because Shu was a multi-ethnic coexistence long ago, and the ruling class of Li's Chenghan was not interested in racial vendettas.

During the outbreak of the war, any movement that happened around me would be very abrupt. To be honest, I was hiding behind the porter with a kitchen knife in my hand. When I heard a small knock on the door, it seemed like I heard thunder.

Honesty’s real name is Li Laoshi. His 19-year-old eldest son and 17-year-old second son are leaning against the wall with farm tools, and the younger sons and daughters are hiding in the back room with their daughter-in-law in their arms.

A few small knocks on the door shocked almost everyone in the family. As the honest head of the house, he almost slashed the kitchen knife at the door that looked weak.

"Honestly, it's me."

The voice sounded rough, and the person who made the voice had dark and rough skin like ordinary people, and the simple and honest face seemed a little excited at the moment. Others called him Old Zhangtou, and his full name was Zhang San.

To be honest, he looked outside through the crack of the door, and when he saw that no one would open the door, he responded in a muffled voice: "You don't want to hide from the disaster, what are you doing here?"

The people outside the door are not just old Zhangtou, besides him, there are also a few old neighbors who are familiar with him.

"Open the door first." Old Zhangtou continued to knock on the door panel again, he seemed to be panting slightly, and said excitedly or nervously, "Master Wang is here, and the time has come for us to fight for the young man's future."

To be honest, I know what old Zhang is talking about. There is too much vendetta in the Central Plains. When Hu and Han fight, it can be said that blood flows into rivers and millions of corpses are buried. It is hard to know.Under the large-scale vendetta, the newly-emerged Lord of the Han Kingdom issued rewards. The rewards were not only for the Hu people in the Central Plains, but also for the countries around the Central Plains. Take the heads of the Hu people and go to the Han territory to ask for rewards. The small town of Huangsha is really One Han Chinese who had enough to eat and the whole family was not hungry killed his enemy, the barbarian beheaded and twisted away, causing the Han Chinese who did not run away to suffer a lot.

Fighting for the young man's future is very straightforward. If the Han army didn't kill them, as long as they didn't die but were bullied, they could endure the suffering and survive. Anyway, that's how they survived for decades.But now that the Han army is here, it is one thing to take advantage of the chaos to have revenge, to complain, and to complain. The more important thing is to get a reward for killing Hu. You shouldn't earn a few acres of Susukida for your family, and you shouldn't fight for the possibility of the young man joining the Han army. a handful?

The door opened with the sound of "Yiya", and several people poured into the small house.

"When Master Wang kills this side, it means that the pass in front has been captured." Old Zhangtou's simple and honest face was both nervous and excited, and he said with trembling lips: "Ah Liu sees Master Wang slaughtering people as if he was playing , will definitely capture this city.”

The Ah Liu in Lao Zhangtou's mouth is actually one of Huangsha's county and county soldiers, and he is a mixed race of Hu and Han.After the war broke out, the mixed race chose to run, slipped home to take off his blue jersey, and then sneaked to the neighbor's old boss's house for agitation.

"It's really killing?" Honestly's hands were shaking, he subconsciously glanced at the eldest and second child in the family, and swallowed: "If it is really replaced by our own people as the masters, rewarding the fields and officials It's all true...then let's fight it out?"

As if echoing each other from afar, bursts of noise and fighting sounds suddenly came over, it was the people with quicker hands and feet who were already doing it.

Seven or eight people poured out from the honest man's house. What they saw was a chaotic street. The usually honest neighbors used all kinds of gadgets as weapons to fight each other. It was the Han people and the Hu people who were fighting each other.

When the Han people saw the Han army coming, they felt that the sky above their heads was about to change, and they had to muster up the courage to earn something for their own family.They will contact and collude with each other, gather a certain number of people and start looking for opportunities.

When the Hu people learned that the Han army had killed them, too many rumors may not be true, but they believed that the Han army would cleanse the Hu people, and they were worried and afraid that they would definitely want to survive.Escaping has become the choice of most barbarians, and they have to form gangs when they run.

People from two different factions suddenly encounter each other on the road. At the first moment, they may be stunned and dazed. The two sides stare at each other for a while. There is no need to pay attention to who is the first to charge towards each other. The fight begins like that. .

"Get it!" Old Zhang's voice trembled loudly: "Kill them!"

I don't know when it started, a large-scale fighting broke out in the city, first among the non-army, the defenders reacted and mobilized to suppress the Han people in the city, and it didn't take long for the defenders to kill themselves without knowing what was going on.

When Liu Rui led the army to the field, he went up to the tower and looked into the city. One after another smoke was floating from all over the city to the sky, and there were fighting scenes everywhere within sight.

"The people in the city killed Hu on their own initiative." Lin Feng did not participate in the fight himself. He had no blood on his body and his hairstyle was not messed up. He pressed the hilt of his sword with one hand and held his helmet in the other. He grinned and said, "The defenders also killed themselves Get up."

The defenders of Huangsha will fight on their own. Some people who surrendered earlier contacted their partners to fight back, and then the Han and Miao descendants in the defenders stood on the side of their fathers and villagers.

The Han army continued to advance from the city gate into the city. What they want to do now is to wipe out the rebels and send out people to contact those who rebelled.

In the afternoon, the sound of fighting in Huangsha City had completely stopped, and the banner of the Han army was flying above the city.

When Yuan Qiao's figure appeared in Huangsha, Liu Rui had already figured out the matter.

"The rewards of the people are naturally to be verified and counted, and the rewards should be handed out as quickly as possible." Yuan Qiao has the right to reward land, but it should be the batch of unowned land after getting it, and unowned land is generally The Hu people who were killed originally held it.He asked Liu Rui, "Have you sent scouts?"

Huangsha is only less than [-] miles away from Nanzheng, and the mountainous areas still account for most of it along the way. There is only a small area of ​​plains within seven miles of Nanzheng.

"Sent." It was the first time Liu Rui spoke face-to-face with Yuan Qiao, and his attitude was very respectful: "The first batch of scouts have already returned, and about [-] enemy troops from Nanzheng left the city first, and they went out for four or five times. Then turned around and went back."

Yuan Qiao just let out two "hehe".

There were [-] Li clan defenders in Nanzheng, and it was normal for Zan Jian to send [-] to help Huangsha. Unless he confirmed that Huangsha had fallen, otherwise it would be abnormal to withdraw later.

Yuan Qiao's judgment is that Zan Jian's psychological pressure is huge, and even Zan Jian didn't understand how the Han army appeared in Huangsha so quickly. The huge psychological pressure coupled with the inability to grasp the situation made Zan Jian choose the most conservative The strategy is that he would rather let the Huangsha defenders be destroyed than take any risks.

[It seems that this game is a win. 】The expression on Yuan Qiao's face revealed his inner thoughts, and Liu Rui, who was watching from the side, also showed a relaxed smile.He noticed that Liu Rui was smiling, calmed down his emotions, and said, "Select a few outstanding representatives, and I will reward them personally."

Ah Liu became a hero, and most of the people who participated in the uprising said that the reason for the rebellion was that Ah Liu contacted and organized it. It doesn't matter whether it is true or not.

The Ah Liu that Yuan Qiao saw was a 24-year-old mixed-race kid. In fact, as long as Ah Liu didn’t mention it himself, his appearance, which was no different from that of Han Miao descendants, could not tell he was a mixed-race kid at all, and Ah Liu said it himself at the first time. come out.

"There is more Han blood in the villain's veins, and his heart beats completely for the son of the Han family." Ah Liu's attitude was very humble, and when he saw Yuan Qiao, he pushed gold mountains and jade pillars to bow down, and spoke It is the tone of singing: "I had the idea of ​​defecting to Master Wang in the early morning, and now I finally got my wish."

On the surface, Yuan Qiao was full of majesty. He nodded while listening, but he was actually stunned for a while.
