Peng Yibin said to Liu Qingfu and others: "You can rest assured. Not to mention that it is unlucky to kill someone who surrenders, but to say that today's officials are benevolent and generous. For serious crimes such as Shi Miyuan's conspiracy to dethrone, officials have not killed their families. Therefore,
This shows the official’s heart.
Now Zhao Shanxiang is in charge of Huainan. He is a member of the official family, and he represents the official family. If Zhao Shanxiang kills and surrenders, the official family's reputation will also be ruined. Can the official family spare him?"
Wang Yishen, Yan Tong, Guo Bing and others were moved, but only Liu Qingfu remained stubborn and unmoved.
In the end, Peng Yibin had to use himself as a guarantee. He said: "If you are not at ease, then I will stay with you alone. If the day comes that I will be killed, you should kill him first."
This time Wang Yishen and others were speechless and all agreed to surrender their weapons.
Seeing that no one supported him, Liu Qingfu had no choice but to agree obediently. However, he helplessly looked at his severed finger and thought to himself: "Oh my God, one of my fingers was chopped off in vain."
Chuzhou was pacified, and two copies of the good news were sent. One was quickly sent to Lin'an, and the other was quickly sent to Yangzhou.
At the same time, Zhao Shanxiang also mobilized troops and horses and marched towards Yangzhou, intending to join forces with Zhao Fan to kill Li Quan.
News of the pacification of Chuzhou soon spread to Yangzhou. When Zhao Fan heard the news, he raised his head and laughed.
"The overall situation has been decided, the overall situation has been decided."
Zhao Fan did not dare to neglect, and made every effort to deploy and summon the generals.
When all the generals arrived, Zhao Fan raised his hand and ordered his people to pass the news of Chuzhou's success to everyone one by one.
After seeing this, all the generals were excited. They all knelt down and asked for battle, threatening to go out of the city and kill Li Quan.
Zhao Fan appeased everyone and said: "Generals, don't be anxious. I think Li Quan doesn't know what happened in Chuzhou yet. Now we can just wait and wait for him to know. When his army's morale is in chaos, it won't be too late for our army to attack again."
What I want you to do now is to select elite soldiers and generals, recharge your batteries, and when I give the order, you can capture the leader of the thief and make great achievements."
"Yes, General."
All the generals responded in unison, the sound was like a roaring bell, and their fighting spirit was high and powerful.
After the meeting ended, all the generals followed Zhao Fan's words and sorted through their subordinates, selecting the elite soldiers and generals who were the most capable and daring to fight, waiting for the last moment to come.
At night, Zhao Kui was excited and felt that he could not wait for a moment. He found Zhao Fan and said: "Brother, why don't we order people to shout now to make the rebels' morale chaotic? By then, the rebels are very likely to have a camp roar, and our army will
It can be easily won."
Zhao Fan smiled slightly, patted Zhao Kui on the shoulder and said: "Don't be anxious. Remember, the most taboo thing about marching and fighting is to be too hasty and impetuous. The roar of the camp will occasionally be huge. How can you rely on victory?
?
And if we take the initiative to tell the news, the rebels' first thought is not to believe it, or to be doubtful, but when they actually get the news, they will already be mentally prepared, wouldn't it be even more difficult to win over their military morale?"
Zhao Kui understood and raised his hand to Zhao Fan, saying that he was reckless.
Zhao Fan ignored it and walked to the top of the city and inspected it. Zhao Fan turned around and said to Zhao Kui: "Zhao Kui, I order you to quickly lead three thousand elite soldiers out of the city to attack at night. After fighting for a while, you don't have to stay."
Zhao Fan estimated that Li Quan's rebels would receive news from Chuzhou in the next two days, so during these two days, the enemy and we would still maintain a tense and high-pressure situation.
In this way, when the news comes from Chuzhou, the spirit of the rebels can no longer be sustained and they will definitely collapse completely.
"Yes, General."
Zhao Kui solemnly agreed and led his troops out of the city for a night attack.
Soon, there was a burst of shouting and killing outside.
Because the main force of Li Quan's rebels was stationed in Tucheng and protected by Tucheng, Zhao Kui could not attack at night and could only sneak attack the small group of rebels outside Tucheng.
These rebels were used to defend Tucheng. If Li Quan did not release people outside Tucheng, he might be surrounded by Zhao Fan at any time.
The sound of fighting was very fierce. Zhao Kui fought bravely to take the lead. He was extremely brave. Under his leadership, everyone dared to fight and was not afraid of death. The only one who killed the rebels outside Tucheng was Crying Dad.
Call me mother.
Their cries put a lot of pressure on the rebels in Tucheng, and they couldn't sleep well even if they wanted to.
Although they also know that it is unlikely that the government troops will invade, but in the case of rebellion and failure, who can calm down?
When Li Quan learned of Zhao Kui's sneak attack, he was furious and ordered people to come out of the city to rescue him. The two sides fought fiercely.
Zhao Fan listened to the fierce and passionate fighting and smiled with satisfaction. The decisive battle was not far away, it was just two days ago.
Dragging Li Quan under Yangzhou City, all this is finally coming to an end.
When Zhao Kui returned, Zhao Fan personally visited the injured soldiers. Seeing a soldier's wound that was bleeding and not bandaged, Zhao Fan even bandaged the soldier's wound himself and put his own cloak on him, leaving only the soldier's wound.
He was so moved that tears filled his eyes, and he cried and said that if the general asked him to die in the future, he would go too.
The morale of Zhao Fan's army was high, but the morale of Li Quan's rebels over there was getting lower and lower day by day, and many soldiers even began to complain openly.
In the past, there were people who would take care of such complaints, and they would be beaten with military sticks, and many people were even executed. However, as more people complained later, no one took care of them.
Seeing that the army was dragged tightly by Zhao Fan in Yangzhou, unable to move, but Zhao Fan refused to leave the city for a decisive battle. To attack the city, Yangzhou City has high walls and thick walls, and Zhao Fan is in charge. It will be difficult to conquer the city, and the future is becoming increasingly slim.
.
Seeing this situation, many of Li Quan's generals could not sit still. On this day, they approached Li Quan one after another and asked to withdraw to Chuzhou and stop fighting. If the imperial court persisted in pursuing him, they would defect to the Kingdom of Jin.
Faced with the turbulent public sentiment among his generals, Li Quan cursed: "Can we just leave now? As soon as our army moves out, Zhao Fan will come up to cover him up and attack and kill all the way. How can we stop it then?"
General Zong Xiongwu said: "General, if I am willing to cut off the queen, I will be willing to die as long as I can give my brothers a way to survive."
"fart."
After hearing this, Li Quan pulled his face and scolded him, saying: "If someone can leave after breaking off his queen, do you think I won't let you break up his queen? Zhao Fan works steadily, step by step, how can it be so easy to get rid of him?
Yes, if we didn't have this earth city as a cover, I'm afraid we would be surrounded by him instead."
Zhao Fan is the son of Zhao Fang. After becoming a famous general, he truly inherited Zhao Fang's mantle. He knew the essence of the battlefield well, was neither arrogant nor impetuous, and acted step by step. He never made rash advances or compromised. This made Li Quan very distressed.
Li Quan's words made the generals even more frustrated. Now that they really can't move or attack, is it possible that the army can only be wasted here?
