Chapter 896: The world of beasts, the weak eat the strong!

On the tenth day of the ninth lunar month, the Changfeng garrison built Yi Zhonglang general Wu Ziqina to surrender, and he was supposed to receive the Han army into the city. The garrison was caught off guard and was defeated. The general He Qing died in the chaos.

The overall situation has also changed drastically!

The news was reported to Yong and Yang Yanzhang. Yang Yanzhang quickly mobilized his cavalry, company commander Feng Wangguang's troops, and then ordered Wen'an and Chen Mengren's troops. The three armies galloped south to Taoqiu. They met on the road and gathered Zhou Zi'ang and Chen Mengren's troops, with a total of 20,000 men and horses.

More than eight thousand.

Tao Qiu was killed in less than three days. Zhao Shuming had no idea that the thirty thousand cavalry were washed away by a torrent. Zhu Biao took the opportunity to rush out with his troops in the city. The army had no fighting spirit and the morale of the more than one hundred thousand Qi army was defeated like a mountain.

Collapse and lose.

Thirty thousand people died, more than 80,000 people were captured and surrendered, and the rest were scattered. Zhao Shuming only escaped with his body!

At the same time, Yonghe and Wen'an's Shi Jiajun noticed the changes in Changfeng and the changes arranged by the Han army. Wen'an's Shi Jiajun quickly left the city, and Chen Mengren left a small number of troops. It was okay to bluff, but in real battle, they were no match for the 10,000 or 20,000 Wen'an troops.

Yong and Shi Tianlei also gathered forces to storm the Han army camp outside the city, which was the remnants of Yang Yanzhang's troops and Zhu Biao's personal camp, with more than 20,000 people. Naturally, they suffered frequent setbacks and were unable to attack at all. After Wen'an's army arrived, Shi Tianlei's

The military strength has increased to more than 80,000 people, but Yang Yanzhang still does not have such good teeth to gnaw down 20,000 people from Yang Yanzhang's army.

September twenty-two.

Zhu Biao led 30,000 cavalry to Yonghe City, and Shi Tianlei withdrew his troops back to the city and continued to defend the city. But his old lair was already doomed at this time.

Zhao Shuming's army was almost completely wiped out. Puzhou, and even the entire northern and central areas of Qi, no longer had the power to resist the advance of the Han army.

Hu Yanqing used tens of thousands of troops to guard as many as 110,000 prisoners of war. He established eleven prisoner of war camps of the same size and configuration outside Taoqiu City. At the same time, Xia Yunqing's army sandwiched

Part of the infantry of the Huyanqing tribe went south to attack Puzhou Prefecture, the home base of the Shi Jiajun.

In late September, the foundation land of Shi Tianlei was captured. The Shi family relatives fled to Zibo along with Zhao Shuming and some iron rods.

In October, a food shortage crisis began to appear in Yonghe City. At the same time, the Han army began to withdraw from the battle circle, waiting for the remaining forces of Qi State, and all kinds of intensive contacts came and went.

There will be a war between Han and Qi. All forces in Qi will form a final coalition to fight the Han army. If it still fails, then the old forces of Qi will be completely swept into the dust of history.

中.Who asked them to resist the Han army? The Han army had orders from the King of Tang.

If Zibo had compromised from the beginning, it would have been difficult for both Zhu Biao and King Qi to make a move. But if they chose to fight, they would have put the label of 'rebellion' on their heads.

They will be loyal ministers of Tianjing, but they will never belong to the Tang Dynasty.

As for Shi Tianlei in Yonghe City, he just resigned himself to his fate.

If he is lucky, he can wait until next spring when the ice and snow melt. If he can wait until the coalition forces are formed and the internal conflicts between the various forces in Qi are temporarily settled, that will be Shi Tianlei's luck.

By then, the Han army, which was greatly restrained in strength, would inevitably reduce the number of troops outside Yonghe City. That would be the best time for Shi Tianlei to escape.

But if Shi Tianlei couldn't survive that time, everything would be over.

In a word, Shi Tianlei and the others no longer care. Whether he is dead or alive, everything depends on his own fate.

It's winter.

When the first heavy snow came, the counter-rebellion in Wenzhou came to an end. More than 40,000 rebels came to the end of their lives. Wang Shan and other prominent figures were either killed or captured. More than 40,000 people were captured and captured.

More than 30,000 people surrendered. The fighting spirit of the rebels was beyond imagination.

It is ironic that Zhou Yiwen played a big role in this. The flag raised by the rebels at the beginning entered September and after seeing what the disbanded rebels did, he felt extremely regretful in his heart.

Bai Er and others did not expect that even if Zhou Yiwen surrendered and rebelled, they would dare to seek death and contact the Wenzhou authorities. Little did they know that Zhou Yiwen, who was suffering in his heart, had already put his own life and death at risk. He and Wang Renqing,

Wang Shao's letter made it clear that he knew he had made a big mistake and did not dare to ask for redemption. He asked the army and the army to sweep the countryside as soon as possible, stabilize Baixin, and atone for his sins.

When Wang Shao led his troops to defeat the last organized army of the rebels, Bai Er took Zhou Yiwen and fled, intending to return to Zibo and continue to use Zhou Yiwen as a banner. Zhou Yiwen suddenly rose up with his bodyguards and attacked and killed Bai Er and his party.

Although not all of them could be left behind, they still killed and wounded seven or eighty-eight. Then he killed himself with a horizontal sword!

Zhou Jinwen's death gave Zhu Biao a big trouble. After all, he was the rebel flag. Although he lost his way halfway and found his way back, it was impossible to let him go as he originally wanted.

Zhu Biao later wrote a handwritten document to Wang Renqing, asking him not to implicate Zhou Yiwen's family.

In mid-October, there was not a grain of food left in Yonghe City, and reinforcements outside the city were still far away. Shi Tianlei finally ordered the surrender, and 80,000 people surrendered their weapons.

The capture of more than 200,000 prisoners is the best proof of Zhu Biao's great martial arts in the eleventh year of Yuanwu.

"The winter here in Qi is not as cold as ours. Why are the soldiers and civilians so immobile and unable to raise troops?"

The snow is falling heavily.

In the governor's office of Langxiang County in Langzhou Prefecture, the generals of the infantry and cavalry armies of the Hedong Army gathered together. It was not an easy year, and after going through a lot of fighting, a good situation finally emerged.

Since the fighting began in the second half of the year, they finally had the opportunity to get together.

Zhu Biao looked at his generals with relief, all of them were very good.

As for the conversation between Li Panlong and Hu Yanqing, he also smiled silently. The whole Qi State did have this subconscious "thinking" that it was not necessary to mobilize troops in the cold winter.

Zhu Biao just smiled disapprovingly. This shows that Qi State was far from being cornered by the Goryeo army at the time.

If the pressure exerted by the Goryeo army on Qi was as heavy as the pressure exerted by Hu Di on the Northern Han Dynasty, Chen Yan and other countries, this 'custom' would have been thrown out of the window by the people of Qi long ago.

Zhu Biao was also unwilling to raise troops in winter. The cold weather and heavy snowfall would have a disastrous impact on the transportation of baggage, the march of the troops, and the treatment of the wounded. But this is by no means a reason not to raise troops. There are only opportunities to take advantage of them.

When we were fighting on the prairie, many battles were won in the ice and snow.

"Yunzhou. Feng Lei. Fengleijun——"

"Although it is currently stated that Feng Lei has no intention of joining the Qi Allied Forces, his existence is a threat that cannot be ignored for our army."

"If our army fights the Qi army in Puzhou next year, and Fenglei's army suddenly breaks out from Yunzhou and attacks our army's rear, it will be able to change the direction of the war."

"Has the commander sent an envoy to persuade Feng Lei to surrender?"

"But they didn't come to surrender. Although Zhou Jinwen was sent back politely, his mouth was tighter than steel."

"Then speak with a knife. Kill him——"

"Destroy him——"

"Destroy him——"

The agreement was clear. Zhu Biao didn't need to say anything more. "Each of the pro-barracks and the cavalry of the three armies will allocate one cavalry. Cizhou and Wenzhou will each allocate 5,000 cavalry. Langzhou and Puzhou will each allocate 20,000 infantry. From

Wu Ziqi led the cavalry rear army and advanced into Yunzhou——"

In the history of Zhu Biao's previous life, there is an allusion to Li Shuoxue's night attack on Caizhou. After a series of dazzling military maneuvers, Zhu Biao perfectly raised 30,000 cavalry in hand and 40,000 infantry behind. When 30,000 cavalry

When he rushed down to Yunzhou, he also exceeded everyone's expectations and achieved no less effect than Li Shuo's night attack in his previous life.

There are seven counties in Yunzhou, the four central and southeastern counties are in the hands of Feng Lei's Fenglei Army, and the three counties in the northwest, central Xiangping, Zhangqiu, and Shangping are in the hands of the Yunzhou governor and a prefect. On weekdays, it is a combination of two families.

Yi Yi struggled to support the pressure of Feng Lei Army.

While Zhu Biao sent envoys to persuade Feng Lei's army to surrender, he also sent people to meet with the governor of Shangping and the governor of Yunzhou. Both of them smiled and accepted the olive branch offered by Zhu Biao, but they kept making excuses after hearing the announcement. They just maintained a relationship.

In name, but in essence, we are still waiting for further clarity on the situation.

In the eleventh year of Yuanwu, the Han army achieved extremely dazzling results. But the four desperate families joined forces and it was quite possible to gather an army of 300,000.

The outcome of the war with the Hedong Army was still uncertain. Neither of them wanted to make their position clear too early. Of course, they also did not want to offend Zhu Biao, so they respected Zhu Biao on the surface.

However, when 30,000 cavalry marched straight into Yunzhou and were spared when they encountered the city, and when the magic soldiers descended from the sky and arrived at the gate of Shangping County, the prefect of Shangping was speechless. Less than two-quarters of an hour after Zhu Biao showed up, tens of thousands of people

The garrison in Shangping City declared no resistance.

The surrender of the Shangping prefect opened the door for Zhu Biao to lead his troops eastward and to the Feng Lei Army.

When Feng Lei knew something was wrong and hurriedly mobilized his troops to gather in Qinghe County, Yanggu County had already stepped on Zhu Biao's feet.

They marched five hundred miles in two days and nights. Under the heavy snowfall, the quality of the Han army was evident. On the third day, Zhu Biao left 10,000 Cizhou cavalry and Wenzhou cavalry to garrison Yanggu, and he led 20,000 Hedong Jing cavalry to kill them.

Entered Qinghe County.

Zhu Biao personally destroyed the city gate, and the army poured in. Before dark that day, they captured the first of the two counties separated from Qinghe County and Yanggu County.

To this day, Feng Lei has only two choices: resist or surrender!

Feng Leijun chose the first one.

On the afternoon of the fourth day after dispatching troops, when Zhu Biao led 20,000 Hedong elite cavalry to the city of Qinghe County, about 30,000 rebels had already gathered in the city.

"My lord, the news that generals Huang An and Liang Qingchen have been captured has been confirmed. Dongping County and Ninghe County were both captured by Zhu Biao."

It has been the tenth day since Zhu Biao sent out troops. Five days ago, he led his troops to suddenly receive news from Qinghe County. The news they obtained was that they were heading east. Within two days, a message came from Dongping County in the east saying——

Huang An was captured, and Dongping fell into Zhu Biao's hands.

Feng Lei couldn't believe it. His Fenglei Army originally had more than 50,000 people, but as the threat from the Han army gradually increased, the number had grown to nearly 80,000 before the war began. He placed 30,000 troops in Yanggu County.

To prevent threats from the west. As a result, Yanggu fell in just two days. Dongping was the center for gathering the second force of the Fenglei Army, and faced the threat of the Lu Army. As a rebel, Feng Lei's enemies were not only the Qi court in Zibo.

There is no guarantee that when Qi borrows troops from Lu, the Lu army will stab them in the back.

The northernmost Ninghe County is also threatened. It is the Lieshui Kingdom outside the territory. Seeing the ruin of Qi State, Lieshui Kingdom is also ready to make a move. They have always wanted to move Lieshui into their own territory.

For those people, if possible, they would be satisfied if Yunzhou was changed back to Liaozhou, or at least Ninghe was changed back to Lelang. So Feng Lei placed 10,000 and 50,000 troops in Ninghe. On the contrary, among the four counties

Qinghe County, where he himself was located at the heart of the central government, had the thinnest troops.

Because of this, Feng Lei, who had nearly 80,000 troops, only had time to assemble 30,000 troops before Zhu Biao blocked the door.

Yesterday, Zhu Biao's elite cavalry appeared again at the foot of Qinghe City. The hearts of everyone in the city suddenly tightened. The news of the bad news seemed to spread with the movement of the Han cavalry. Ninghe County was defeated.

News of the capture of guard general Liang Qingchen began to spread in the city.

Today, the Fenglei Army really got the exact news. Huang An and Liang Qingchen were indeed captured by the Han army. The two counties of Ninghe and Dongping were also lost! The reason is that Zhu Biao's strong strength, without any

People can stop it.

The heavy city gate was shattered with a sword, and even the thousand-jin gate dropped by Wengcheng could not stop his continuous bombardment. And Zhu Biao was so strong that he could storm the city in broad daylight. Like the battle at Ninghe, the city was destroyed by tens of thousands of people.

The arrows were fired in unison, but they failed to achieve his original impact.

The defender Liang Qingchen, who was standing at the city gate tower commanding and supervising the battle, failed to pass through Zhu Biao's men and was captured. The morale of the defenders in the city was so low that it reached the valley. The Han army outside the city took the opportunity to attack the city and defeated it in one battle.

.

Xu Yunting quietly looked at Feng Lei's face, and the gloomy look on his face made him tremble: "Just now, the young general saw the two of them on the west gate tower, and in addition, the Han army shot in from outside the west gate.

A letter saying that I wanted to..."

Feng Lei's heart moved slightly, but his expression was still uncertain, and he said coldly: "What did you say in the letter?"

Xu Yunting said cautiously: "The letter said that Qinghe City has now become an isolated city. All the external reinforcements have been wiped out. It said that our army's foreign aid has been exhausted and it is impossible to do anything. Please let the lord stop fighting with trapped beasts to avoid the hundreds of thousands of people in Qinghe City.

Both soldiers and civilians were destroyed.

"A battle between trapped beasts? One hundred thousand soldiers and civilians will be killed together?" Feng Lei's cheeks twitched, and he said sadly after a while. "Besides dying together and fighting to the death, does this commander have any other choice? Isn't this all their fault?

Was it forced out by the Han army?"

If the commander of the army outside the city were to be replaced by someone else, Feng Lei would definitely have the intention of leaving the city and surrendering. But the person in front of him was Zhu Biao. Feng Lei had rejected Zhu Biao, so he could not trust Zhu Biao now. Besides, Zhu Biao also had Yi

The 'notoriety' of the three human tribes.

As soon as Feng Lei finished speaking, Zhang Xiaogong suddenly ran into the hall from outside. He was panting and said urgently: "My lord, Zhu Biao sent an envoy to see you!"

"Zhu Biao's envoy? He must be here to force him to surrender." Feng Lei snorted, with a look of deep resentment on his face.

"Let him in!" Feng Lei waved his hand and said to Zhang Xiaogong in the most impatient tone. At the same time, several more guards appeared in front of the hall steps.

Zhang Xiaogong hurriedly turned around, waved his hand, and shouted loudly to the waiting disciples outside the hall: "My lord has an order, and the envoys of the Han army are sent to see you."

Announcements were heard from the hall to the outside of the Sheriff's Mansion in a matter of seconds. Standing in front of the gate, Zhu Zhenguo smiled slightly as he watched the doorman walking down the steps quickly, and walked into the gate of the Sheriff's Mansion with a calm attitude.

There was a sound of footsteps, and a young man who was young but high-spirited stepped into the hall. He raised his fists towards Feng Lei who was sitting on the throne, and Zhu Zhenguo said in a smooth voice: "Zhu Zhenguo, I have met General Feng."

"Zhu Zhenguo...are you a member of Zhu Biao's tribe?"

Feng Lei was shocked. The people sent by Zhu Biao turned out to be his own relatives!!

Zhang Xiaogong and Xu Yunting looked at each other with surprise and a hint of joy. It was obvious that Zhu Biao valued Qinghe City. Otherwise, he would not risk his own relatives.

"My commander-in-chief sees that the general is someone who truly cares about the people and is in urgent need of the people. He is not a traitor or bandit like the King of Liang or King of Dingyang who pretends to be a rebel but actually poisons the people. He is sincerely willing to recruit him.

, and work together to benefit the people of Qi.

General Feng, please think twice! Don’t act out of your own will, harming others, yourself, and the people.”

Feng Lei's anger welled up in his heart. He had always thought that the Han army had harmed him. He thought that if Zhu Biao hadn't bullied others too much and didn't even say hello, he would have jumped on his horse and swung his sword to kill him. All four people in Yunzhou would have been killed.

The county is still peaceful and stable.

Now that he has lost three of his four counties, leaving only Qinghe, an isolated city, trapped in poverty and almost at the end of its rope, the only one to blame is Zhu Biao.

If it weren't for him, I would be fine.

Now that I heard Zhu Zhenguo's persuasion to surrender, my heart was filled with anger that I couldn't suppress.

"It harms others, harms myself and harms the people! If it weren't for your Han army to kill me, how could I have done so much harm in the four counties?"

"I've killed all the harmful bitches long ago. It's all your fault-"

"If the king of Tang and the king of Xia don't fight for the world, I won't be able to join the army. My sixth brother has killed all the sluts Dinu, and the Northern Han Dynasty will be too safe. Who wants to live a good life all day long?

Are you licking blood from the knife edge and worrying about your life?"

"It's just because the Tang King is strong and the Northern Han Dynasty is weak. The Northern Han Dynasty has already boarded the Tang King's boat. If he doesn't want his family to be smashed to pieces by the Tang King's court, he has no choice but to follow the Tang King and push the boat out.

The relationship between your Fenglei Army and our Hedong Army is like the relationship between our Northern Han Dynasty and the King of Tang. The weak must listen to the strong and do whatever they want. There is not so much benevolence, justice and morality in troubled times!"

"If you don't obey, you will be beaten!"

"That's what I'm saying. General Feng, just think about it yourself. Think about whether this is the way the world is. My commander-in-chief has given you one day. If you don't abandon Zuna City tomorrow, our armies will fight.

Only you die and I live.

I wish you farewell!"

Zhu Zhenguo has walked out of the hall for a long time, and Feng Lei and the other three are still immersed in it. "The weak must obey the strong, and those who disobey will be beaten!"

"The world of beasts, the world of beasts!"

"The weak eats the strong, the weak eats the strong."

"Just like those landlords who exploited us poor people back then, they started a rebellion with us, pulled out the troops, and in turn killed those landlords..."

"It's all the same. It's all the same..."

The weak eat the strong! (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature for better novels and faster updates!
