At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty

It's just that most people will do things like seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages, regardless of Hu people or Han people.

"If Qiu Liju really did this, using Zhang Ju's life as a bargaining chip to make us accept his peace proposal, general, envoy, what do you mean?"

Zhu Jun and the Zongyuan couldn't help thinking about it.

"This is naturally a good thing. It is naturally a good thing that this turmoil can be resolved without continuing to fight."

Zhu Jun thinks so.

"Qiu Liju is the co-lord of 30 Karasuma people. If the court does not want to cause turmoil among the Karasuma people, it probably needs their surrender. It is very likely that Qiu Liju will be forgiven after being reprimanded. He is the one who settles down and stops northern Xinjiang. Concentrate on Liangzhou, the rebellion in Liangzhou is even more dangerous."

The sect member knew a little more, then he looked at Guo Peng and asked, "Zifeng, if that's true, do you still want to destroy Qiu Liju?"

"Of course I want to destroy Qiu Liju."

Guo Peng nodded: "If there is one, there are two, there are three. Rebellion, plundering the people of Youzhou, cooperating with the rebels against the big man, and putting up a battle against the big man, any of these are enough to sentence him to death.

If the imperial court forgives Qiu Liju so easily, it will not make the people of Karasuma feel the court's kindness, but will only make them feel that the imperial court is weak and deceitful. Wouldn't it be enough to apologize? "

Both Zhu Jun and the clan members felt that what Guo Peng said was reasonable, but...

"The imperial court is struggling with expenses, and the battle in the northwest is raging. The imperial court is probably looking forward to the stars and the moon and hoping that we will end this war. At this time, the time is not with us, but with the enemy."

Zhu Jun let out a long sigh: "Why don't we understand the consequences of pampering Qiu Liju, it's just that right now is really not the time."

"It's not completely out of time."

Guo Peng said: "Qiu Liju killed Nanlou's family and relatives. Nanlou hated Qiu Liju to the bone, so he fought with our army. If Qiu Liju was forgiven, how could Nanlou be dissatisfied? What if Nanlou If you don't obey orders and attack Qiu Liju without permission, what will happen if another war breaks out?"

This... is indeed a problem.

Zhu Jun and Zong Yuan also had to admit the existence of this problem.

"We forgive Qiu Liju and won't punish him in any way. Qiu Liju may not be grateful, but if he can help Nanlou, Nanlou must be grateful. From then on, he will obey the imperial edict and will not violate it. Only in this way can northern Xinjiang be truly stable. Otherwise, who knows when Qiu Liju will rebel next time?"

Guo Peng spread his hands: "Could it be that the imperial court is really relieved?"

"I'm afraid I won't really feel relieved."

On this point, both Zhu Jun and the sect members can reach a consensus.

"So, the general thinks that Qiu Liju is quite powerful now. Judging from the current situation of our army, it is impossible to completely wipe out Karasuma, but at least let the Karasuma people see the might of the Han army. "

Guo Peng's words were so true that Zhu Jun and the Zongyuan didn't know how to refute them.

"Shoot once, hurt them, and avoid successive rebellions in the future!"

Guo Peng continued to persuade Zhu Jun, and finally made Zhu Jun make up his mind to find a way to show off his muscles in front of Qiu Liju, so today's military issue became how to solve Qiu Liju and the problems after that.

Of course, all of this is based on the fact that Qiu Liju really took action against Zhang Ju, and on this condition, he asked the Han court for peace, demanding that everything had never happened.

If Qiu Liju and Zhang Ju join forces to attack the Han army, it goes without saying, and they will do their best to fuck the fuck.

Chapter 136

Time passed bit by bit, not to mention Zhu Jun and Zong Yuan, Guo Peng was not really sure that Qiu Liju would do this.

It is not impossible for Qiu Liju to have a decisive battle with the Han army if he makes a mistake.

But the facts have proved that Qiu Liju's IQ is not low, and he is not such a kind and righteous person, otherwise he would not be able to be the co-owner of Karasuma.

There was a mutiny in Feiru City, Qiu Liju captured Zhang Ju, broke his legs and arms, and tied him into rice dumplings as a deterrent.

With 3 Karasuma soldiers as the confidence, he killed a group of rebel officers, and successfully forced more than [-] Hanhu rebels and more than [-] Hanhu coerced people not to resist, and achieved a smooth transition.

Taking this as confidence, Qiu Liju sent a request for a truce to the confronting Han army.

Qiu Liju can hand over Zhang Ju to the Han army, let the Han army take it for reward, and is willing to plead guilty to the emperor of the Han Dynasty, but asks the Han army to retreat, and what he gets now belongs to him, including the fat as tens of thousands of Han Hu All the people belong to him.

Then peace was restored in Youzhou, and everyone continued to do what they should do.

The development of the matter was as expected by Guo Peng. Both Zhu Jun and the Zongyuan recognized Guo Peng's intelligence, so Zhu Jun asked him for suggestions on what to do in the future.

Guo Peng put forward his own ideas.

"What you can't get on the battlefield, you can't get it on the negotiating table. If more than [-] people are handed over for the sake of a human head, making Karasuma stronger, it is inevitable that Qiu Liju will not be rebellious in the future. Continuing to plunder the people of Youzhou is a great loss and failure for the big man."

Guo Peng resolutely opposed this condition and put forward his own opinions.

Hand over Wu Yan, who had the audacity to attack him, and execute him, and then hand over Wu Yan's tribe to the commander of Nanlou as compensation for Qiu Liju's killing of Nanlou's relatives.

And from now on, Nanlou's tribes are independent and do not need to obey Qiu Liju's decree. Qiu Liju is not allowed to command Nanlou's tribes. Qiu Liju's punishment.

Of course, he can also name Nanlou Zuo Shanyu on the list, in recognition of Qiu Liju's action of correcting his mistakes.

"Karasuma divides the government... the government orders are not unified. This is a good idea, but Qiu Liju will definitely not agree."

Zhu Jun touched the beard on his chin: "Zifeng, if you say that, it means that we still have to meet Qiu Liju on the battlefield and have a showdown."

"Yes."

Guo Peng nodded: "In the last battle, we won the battle. If Qiu Liju refuses to agree, we will force him to agree. Then there will be no Karasuma riots in Youzhou within ten years."

"A tough battle, in exchange for ten years of stability, general, this battle should be fought!"

The Zong member was persuaded and expressed his opinion to Zhu Jun.

Zhu Jun took a deep breath, closed his eyes and meditated for a while, then opened his own eyes.

"Just do what Zifeng says!"

Zhu Jun made up his mind to strive for the stability of Youzhou in the next ten years here, which is more important than anything else.

So Zhu Jun arranged for the courier to reject all of Qiu Liju's requests, list Guo Peng's requests, and added the request that Qiu Liju send his son to Luoyang as a hostage.

This request was completely different from what Qiu Liju asked for. It was completely like the winner's request to the loser. Qiu Liju was very annoyed, and he directly ordered the Han army messenger to be pushed out and beheaded.

"I want to be Shan Yu, but you need to seal it?"

Qiu Liju knew Han Ting's plan immediately. He knew that Han Ting was upset with him and wanted to show him some color. He was a little flustered and felt that everything was different from what he thought before.

He used to think that as long as he threw out some peace signals from his side, the Han army would eagerly accept them.

Because the Han Dynasty is at war with the rebels in the northwest, it must be very difficult to fight him again, so the Han Dynasty must not want to continue to fight with him, so the initiative is in his hands.

In the end, they actually made such a request. Isn't it clear that they want to continue fighting with him?

Could it be that the Han Dynasty has resolved the rebellion in the northwest and is going to deal with him with all its strength?

Will there be other soldiers and horses in the Han Dynasty?

Where does their confidence come from?

Qiu Liju was suddenly confused, and he didn't know where to go to understand these issues. He is from Karasuma, not Han, and he has no relevant channels.

Right now, the Han army has almost [-] troops, and he has a total of [-] troops in his hands. If he continues to mobilize, he can still mobilize [-] to [-] troops.

But that would be tantamount to draining the war potential of the Karasuma people. No leader would do such a thing unless it was really dangerous.

Karasuma, like other prairie tribes, has a custom of honoring the strong and despising the old. Only the young and strong have the value of survival, and the elderly who cannot move are a burden to the tribe.

Young and strong are the most important, but young and strong may not be the most.

If the fight continues, if he loses another tens of thousands of people, it will be enough for him to breathe for several years, so he wants to plunder these more than [-] people to increase the population.

The larger the population, the more powerful it will be, the more pressure the Han Dynasty will feel, and thus more benefits will be gained. Karasuma people also understand this.

But why didn't the Han army on the opposite side play their cards according to common sense?

Qiu Liju was very annoyed and decided to show off his muscles. After killing the envoy of the Han army, he lined up his troops and set up a list of [-] cavalry to intimidate the Han army as if they were going to fight.

When the news came back, Zhu Jun was very angry.

Guo Peng also told Nanlou about this matter with embellishments, fanned the flames, some added rhetorical tricks, and said that Qiu Liju wanted Nanlou's life and all his followers.

Then Nanlou became even more angry.

"General! Nanlou requests to lead the army to fight! Personally cut off the head of Xiaqiu Liju and present it to the general!"

Nanlou went berserk.

"Qiu Liju must have fear in his heart. We didn't expect us to reject his request so simply. We lost our sense of control. That's why we made such a move, General. This further proves that Qiu Liju is not a difficult person to deal with. In the end, the general suggests sending out troops to fight back, and fight back head-on!"

Guo Peng's suggestion was in line with Zhu Jun's idea, and Zhu Jun immediately gave the order.

Zhu Jun ordered [-] cavalry, personally led the troops out of the battalion, and beat the trumpets to fight the Karasuma people.

The Han army first launched an attack, using cavalry and archery to mount archery, and hand-to-hand combat to melee.

Guo Peng led all the generals under his command to participate in the battle, and everyone was full of energy. Nan Lou also led the most elite troops to join the battle, vowing to cut off Qiu Liju's head to pay homage to his family.

On the other hand, Qiu Liju gave Wu Yan another chance, allowing Wu Yan to take the blame and make meritorious deeds. In order to save his status and life, Wu Yan also rushed into battle recklessly.

The 2-person battle between the two armies was extremely tragic, with horses neighing and soldiers roaring, a duel of pure bravery and command art.

Under Zhu Jun's experienced command and the young generals headed by Guo Peng fought bravely, the Han army defeated [-] Karasuma cavalry.

Guo Peng was very displeased with Wu Yan who took the initiative to attack him, so he ordered his generals to catch Wu Yan and beat him violently.

Zhang Fei was lucky. When he found an opportunity, he charged into battle with a spear under the protection of his subordinates. With one spear, he stabbed Wu Yan under the horse, cut off the general's banner, and then cut off Wu Yan's head.

After the battle was won, Zhang Fei held Wu Yan's head on a spear and ran around the whole army, showing off his might, demonstrating his bravery and motivating the morale of the Han soldiers.

The cheers of the Han army went straight to the sky, frightening the fat rebels and Karasuma soldiers. After Qiu Liju learned that his army was defeated and Wu Yan was killed, his expression changed drastically.

Chapter 137 The end of the Seven Rebellion

In order to demonstrate bravery and deter the enemy, Zhu Jun ordered the Han army to push all the more than 1000 captives to the front of the rebels, and behead them all in front of the rebels.

More than 1000 heads fell to the ground, and then they generously created a terrifying Jingguan in front of the formation.

The rebels were terrified, the number of deserters was increasing, and the morale of the Karasuma people was also unstable. Many Karasuma people were talking about Qiu Liju's unscrupulous actions. They took everyone through this muddy water. I can't walk, I can't fight, what should I do?

Qiu Liju was also really in trouble.

If you want to go, the Han army and Nanlou [-] cavalry are eyeing them, and they will definitely catch up. Let's continue to fight. He has just been defeated by the Han army head-on, and he really has no confidence to fight again.

At the time of the dilemma, the plundered food was not enough, and now they were really in big trouble.

At this stall, Cheng Li offered Guo Peng a clever plan.

Cheng Li suggested that Guo Peng drive a group of cavalry and food trucks outside the barracks at night, and then march into the barracks after dawn with banners and gongs and drums, so as to create a situation for the rebels to increase the Han army and increase the food. The illusion put enormous psychological pressure on the rebels.

Guo Peng was overjoyed, and immediately told Zhu Jun about this clever plan, and Zhu Jun was also overjoyed, and immediately put it into practice.

Then Qiu Liju got a report from the sentry, saying that the Han army increased its troops, increased its food, and expanded its barracks. It seemed that it was going to fight a decisive battle with them.

Qiu Liju didn't believe it at first, but after he disguised himself and went out to check the news, he was convinced that the sentry rider's report was true.

What can we do now?

Qiu Liju's heart was pounding.

Then, Cheng Li offered another suggestion, saying that at this time, Qiu Liju could be sent more stringent terms for peace negotiations, giving Qiu Liju the illusion that the Han army was confident, and causing him huge psychological pressure.

Guo Peng immediately told Zhu Jun, Zhu Jun was very happy, and sent Qiu Liju even more exaggerated terms for peace, such as asking Qiu Liju's followers to compensate Nanlou.

Qiu Liju was terrified when he saw it, and he was even more sure that the Han army was confident, which is why they were so confident.

On the other hand, he saw that the food was decreasing, he couldn't get away if he wanted to go, and he had no morale if he wanted to fight. The morale of the tribe was getting lower and lower, and there were more and more complaints. If I stay here, I guess I will be dragged down to death.

These people are terrible, if they don't leave, even they will die here.

This kind of worry became deeper and deeper, and the more he thought about it, the more fearful he became. After two consecutive nights of sleeplessness, Qiu Liju decided to discuss the conditions with the Han army, and discussed with the Han army in a tone that lacked confidence. request to negotiate a peace.

Zuo Shanyu is Zuo Shanyu, Wuyan's tribe is Wuyan's tribe, as long as he can let him go.

Han Jun's reply made him feel cold and cold. In addition to insisting on the original conditions, the Han Army even added some demanded troops. He also said that if Qiu Liju continued to bargain, he would increase the demanded troops. public.

Qiu Liju had lost his normal ability to judge. Under heavy pressure, he decided to accept the conditions of the Han army.

But he asked the Han army to keep his promise, otherwise he would fight the Han army to the death even if he didn't want his life.

Zhu Jun came to meet Qiu Liju in front of the battle as the commander of the Han army. After discussing the terms, the two swore to each other with the witness of heaven and earth. , the Han army definitely did not cross the position of his saber.

Qiu Liju felt relieved.
