The rebellion in central and southern Guanzhong is divided into three parts

Fucheng rebels in the east, rebels in the middle, and rebels in the south

Among them, the most powerful is the Fucheng Group. The main force is more than 5,000 people and the equipment is relatively well-equipped, mainly because the drought in the eastern region is lighter, and with the support of local landlords, there is sufficient money because Fucheng has food. Many victims in the central region have heard the news and gathered to the east to join the rebels in Fucheng. The scale of this rebel is gradually expanding. However, because of the brutality of Fucheng's rebels, they often kill landlords and civilians. Therefore, many landlords migrate northwards as if they were redeemed after paying the food payment.

The central area is the largest, with many rebel branches, but the power is small mainly because it has not formed a system. Many people are attacking the county town under the banner of Fucheng today, but maybe tomorrow they will be replaced by the local famous bandits and plunder the landlord's manor. This part has four or five thousand rebels, scattered in the area of ​​hundreds of miles in the central area.

The number of rebels in the southern Lu Jiuyi Group was the smallest, about two or three thousand, but it was the strongest of these three rebels. Because Lu Jiu himself was a lieutenant in the local regiment and had the ability to manage and train troops. Therefore, under his rule, this rebel army was strict in military discipline and did not kill the elderly, weak, women and children, which was very popular among the locals. This was also related to the most serious drought in the southern region.

The Fucheng rebels mainly faced the suppression of the Dongshui camp army, while the southern rebels were blocked by the Qi side Zhang Wuzhu army. In terms of the suppression of the imperial court, the central rebels were relatively comfortable. They mainly faced the disturbance of the landlord armed forces. What Liu Yu had to consider now is that it was not realistic to quell which side of the rebellion was first to do three-pronged approach.

The rebels in the middle are mixed, and it is not suitable to immediately quell the rebellion. The first thing to do is to steadily fight the rebels steadily is the main force of the rebels. These people usually get among the refugees and get porridge in the porridge yard opened by the court. Once there is a lead, they will rob them and even attack the government and the army. If they go to pacify the rebels in the middle first, a situation may occur. In the past, many refugees who have just been pacified have no food and have to look back.

Because of the uncertainty of the situation of the rebels in the south, Liu Yu decided to advance the three armies to the eastern area where the Fucheng rebels were located, and cooperate with the food for disaster relief and slowly move forward.

On the seventh day of September, the army entered the first county town of the eastern rebel area. This was the northernmost city occupied by the Fucheng rebels. The officials and landlords inside were killed. From a distance, you can see some rebels wearing red turbans on the city tower looking out.

Red Turban Army?

Liu Yu smiled bitterly, in front of him was a city that looked like a pass, easy to defend but difficult to attack.

The city wall is high and dangerous, and it doesn't look like the city tower of a county town at all. It's even more majestic than the city walls of an ordinary county town. Liu Yu thought it was impossible for him to be blessed and have the ability to be in the sky and be able to raise the city wall in a short time after the rebellion?

After asking, I found out that it was the county lieutenant in Weicheng who was very fond of merit. After becoming a county lieutenant, in order to get political achievements as soon as possible, he has recruited civilians to build city walls many times in recent years. Local people complained. When Fucheng rebels came, the towering city walls did not form an obstacle. The people in the city could not survive and directly opened the city gate and surrendered to the enemy. The county lieutenant died without a place to bury him.

God can still forgive evil, but God can't live

Liu Yu was full of infantry and lacked supplies. If it was a siege, it would be very difficult to attack the city. Liu Yu did not dare to advance. Eight thousand troops were stationed outside Weicheng City. On the one hand, they were waiting for the double-team of the 4,000 troops in Dongshui Camp, and on the other hand, they were also waiting for news from the south.

On the seventh night of the September 19th, in the tent of the central army of the rebels, Qi Fang rushed through the central area under the escort of dozens of guards. After arriving here, he also brought the most news from the south.

"The King of Shu seems to have sent people to join forces with Lu Jiu's people. Not only are they transporting grain from Hanzhong, but there are also many military generals dressed up as civilians. Now the army is stationed in Kaicheng, and it is not allowed to go south." Qi Fang couldn't wait to say when he saw Liu Yu.

The King of Shu supports the rebels, and it is not a rare thing.

The southern part of Guanzhong is connected to Hanzhong, and Hanzhong is connected to Shu. A part of Hanzhong is also under the rule of the King of Shu. The Shu Kingdom itself is only a vassal state of the court, and its autonomy is even better than that of Huai. It is difficult to form restrictions on the regime. Now it is on the eve of the official war between the court and the vassal kings. The King of Shu supports the rebels and just wants to open a channel facing Guanzhong.

"How many people have your army recruited now?" Liu Yu asked

"More than 1,300 people, all stationed in Kaicheng. Now there are many homeless refugees gathered outside Kaicheng. We have also gone out many times to find Lu Jiu's main force to fight in one fell swoop. But in the south of Guannan, Lu Jiu's main force seemed to disappear out of thin air. As long as we divide the troops, they will gather one to fight more and beat us off guard. After several explorations, we basically dare not leave the city now."

Liu Yu looked at the terrain of Guannan. There was no big mountain obstacle here. The Lu Jiuyi rebels did not have any invisibility techniques. To put it bluntly, they were hidden among the refugees, and they could seize the opportunity to hit the army at any time.

Liu Yu sighed and said, "The rebellion of refugees is the court's ineffective disaster relief. The people have a happy meal and no one wants to risk beheading and extermination of the clan. Brother Qi may as well go back first and continue to provide disaster relief around Kaicheng. Be careful of the raids of Lu Jiu's rebels."

Qi Fang nodded and took the order. Now that the rebellion in Guanzhong is getting worse and worse, he can only take one step first.

"General Liu, are you planning to use Fucheng Rebels as a breakthrough?" Qi Fang couldn't help but ask when he saw Liu Yu being looking at the map around Weicheng.

"Yes, what do Brother Qi think?" Liu Yu looked at Qi Fang

Qi Fang said with a heavy expression: "The rebels led by Fucheng are famously cruel. Fucheng is a bandit. I am afraid that he will force him to be impatient. He will attack ordinary people." Qi Fang changed his mind, "Why didn't General Liu consider quelling other scattered rebellions first?"

Liu Yu thought about Qi Fang's meaning and roughly understood that the soldiers' utilitarianism was more important. The priority was that a whole central region was large, and it was easy to calm the people's hearts after pacifying. After the overall situation stabilized, the blessings were calmed down.

"It is precisely because of Fucheng's rebels that he must be pacified as soon as possible," Liu Yu pointed to the military map and said, "If we avoid him going south, Fucheng's only way out is to go north. Now Chang'an City's defense is empty, so it is easy for him to take advantage of it. Then it will no longer be to suppress the rebellion, but to cause trouble for oneself."

Qi Fang thought about suppressing the rebellion as soon as possible, and Liu Yu thought about stability

This is the backyard of the Dashun court. It moves all over the body and catches mice in the rice warehouse, so that the rice cannot be destroyed.

The night was quiet, but Liu Yu didn't sleep. He stared at the military map and the sand table and considered the feasibility of various counter-rebellion strategies. Xu Xuanzhu had already stayed with him until very late, perhaps because he was used to being a home-based woman, and by the middle of the night he had already crawled on the desk and fell asleep on the desk in the middle of the night

After four days, Liu Yu was about to squint for a while when he heard a noise outside and then beat drums. This was the warning of a change in the camp. Lu Chu'er hurriedly ran in. His eyes were red because he stayed up late, like a little female leopard.

"Son-in-law, I'm sorry, something happened...Is something wrong"

Liu Yu lifted the curtain and looked out. The noise was coming from the east of the camp. The fire suddenly rose. He instinctively thought that Fu Chengjun came to attack the camp at night and felt a sudden slap in his heart. But after thinking about it carefully, the army's food and grass were not stored in the east of the camp.

"Speak directly about what's going on." Liu Yu glanced at Lu Chu'er and shouted

"Oh, that's it. I saw a few arrows shot from afar, and then several camps were burned. It was probably like that."

Liu Yu glared at her: "What about?"

"Then?" Lu Chu'er was stunned, "Then my subordinates came to report to my son-in-law."

Liu Yu really wanted to kick her. Sometimes this girl was so reckless. She asked her to stay overnight. When she encountered a rebel attack on the camp, she didn't know how many people came, whether she was chasing her, whether she was chasing her, whether she was luring her tigers away from the mountain, etc., so she came to fuss

Liu Yu knew that asking her again would be futile, so he immediately brought the guards to the scene with Xu Xuanzhu, who had just been awakened. At this time, the guards also came over with a few thin, thin and small figures.

There were four people coming to the camp. Except for one of them, the other three probably had just taken off their crotch pants and the tall boy. The four of them might not have been ashamed and angry as the boy who was thirty years old. His hands were tied up and escorted over, and his mouth was cursed and said, "The accent is local."

"Kneel down" The young man was kicked by the sergeant. He knelt on the ground and saw him kneeling down. He hurriedly knelt on the ground.

"General Liu, arresting a few boys who attacked the camp at night." Yang Lie was responsible for the night watch, and he also brought the people back.

Liu Yu frowned. He clearly remembered that there were sentry detectives four or five miles outside during the camp's defense. There were ten steps one or two miles outside the camp. This made the experienced sentry detectives come over and shoot two arrows, but could these little heads come over?

"Commander Yang Zuo, what's going on?" Liu Yu pointed at the four kids kneeling on the ground in surprise.

"No need to ask, it's all done by me." Yang Lie didn't say anything, but the older boy spoke, "You soldiers who don't care about the lives of the people, don't forget that you came out of the people and are still coming to kill the people. They are really worse than pigs and dogs, beasts."

There was a lot of cursing there, but the guards were immediately pressed to the ground and could only struggle

Liu Yu pointed at them and looked at Yang Lie again: "There is no one else?"

Yang Lie smiled bitterly and said, "It's gone, only these four bold ones. The boy is in charge of the matter. He shot three rockets and ran away. His archery skills are good, and he shot very quickly. Fortunately, there were soldiers watching outside the tent. They found it early, and there were no casualties. They just burned the three tents." To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Qidian to vote for recommendations. Monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation.
