Chapter seven hundred and forty seventh red eyebrows ended
Jia Fu alone forced the three men in black to parry and had no power to fight back. Just as the three men in black struggled to hold on, Jia Fu suddenly pulled away.
Before the three men in black realized what was going on, they saw a mass of black soldiers appearing behind Jia Fu, all holding crossbows in their hands.
Bang, bang, bang! Without Jia Fu’s orders, the soldiers fired their crossbows in unison, and the sound of ejection was instantly heard.
Under the lance, all living beings are equal, and under the arrow array, all beings are even more equal. No matter how strong your martial arts skills are, you cannot withstand the storm of arrows.
The three men in black tried their best to block the crossbow arrows, but it was useless. Soon, all three of them were hit by several arrows. Two of them could not hold on and fell in a pool of blood.
The last man in black roared, struggled to stand up, raised his sword high, and charged towards the soldiers on the opposite side.
What greeted him was another round of volleys. In just a moment, the man in black was covered with arrows, like a hedgehog, and finally staggered to the ground, unable to move.
Under the arrow formation, the three people who had been alive just now were all turned into corpses covered with arrows and bleeding on the ground in an instant.
Jia Fu didn't even look at it. He picked up his long sword and continued walking deeper into the house. Going further, he reached the inner courtyard of the house, where Fan Chong and his family lived. Jia Fu walked into the house.
When they entered the courtyard, it was already filled with people. Among them were guards wearing black clothes and holding long swords, as well as female relatives holding children, and Fan Chong was among them.
Looking at Jia Fu walking in step by step from the outside, Fan Chong's face was ashen, his eyes were flashing with fire, he stared at him without blinking, and said word by word: "Jia Junwen, what do you mean?"
"Huh!" Jia Fu sneered and said, "Fan Chong, your Majesty treats you with great kindness, but you are plotting to rebel. Why do you ask me what I am here for?"
"You fart!" Fan Chong was furious and yelled: "Since I came to Luoyang, I have stayed safe and contented myself. When did I ever commit rebellion?"
Jia Fu shrugged and said, "Okay, okay, you don't admit it now, but sooner or later you will admit it!"
"Haha!" Fan Chong suddenly threw his head back and laughed, saying: "Liu Xiu coaxed us into surrendering, but now he wants to kill me. He is a shameless boy who goes back on his word and is hypocritical..."
Before he could finish speaking, Jia Fu's expression suddenly changed and he shouted: "Fan Chong, you are seeking death!"
As he spoke, he waved his hand forward, and the soldiers behind him swarmed forward, forming several rows. Then they all picked up their crossbows and fired a volley at the crowd on the opposite side.
Fan Chong's men stood in front, waving their swords and trying their best to block the arrow array. At the same time, they shouted to Fan Chong behind: "Lord, leave quickly!"
There are a lot of men in black, and all of them have good martial arts skills, but even so, some people still get hit by arrows from time to time.
Some fell to the ground on the spot, or staggered back. Seeing this scene, Fan Chong was heartbroken. He stamped his feet fiercely, and tried to run out of the back door with his family members.
But there were also soldiers in the alley outside the back door. When they saw Fan Chong coming out with his family, people swarmed up to him. Fan Chong roared and waved his sword and rushed towards him.
Fan Chong's martial arts were not weak. He was able to fight his way out from among the dead. Ordinary soldiers could not defeat him at all.
The besieging soldiers were killed in groups by Fan Chong. At this time, Fan Chong was already red-eyed, killing from one end of the alley to the middle of the alley.
Looking at the ground in the alley, the dead and injured were scattered everywhere. Just when Fan Chong was going on a killing spree, two men in gray robes suddenly jumped down from the top of the walls on both sides of the alley. Both of them used ring heads.
knife.
When he was falling, he slashed hard at Fan Chong's head with both swords. Fan Chong roared, and raised his sword to parry. Bang! With two crisp sounds, two men in gray robes fell to the ground, and Fan Chong was shaken.
Exit several steps in a row.
As soon as he stabilized his body, he heard a woman's scream from behind him. When he looked back, his face suddenly changed, and it turned out that his family members were already being held captive by several men in gray robes with swords.
"Let them go!" Fan Chong glared with red eyes, roared, and was about to charge towards them with his sword.
One of the men in gray robes raised his knife and dropped it. One of Fan Chong's concubines dropped her head without making a sound. The headless body stood on the ground, shook a few times, and then fell straight to the ground.
Fan Chong could see clearly that he opened his mouth so wide that he wanted to roar, but no sound came out.
At this time, a woman's soft voice came from behind him: "Fan Chong, when death is imminent, it is useless to resist stubbornly."
He turned around quickly and saw a woman slowly walking out from behind the two men in gray robes. The woman was dressed in black from top to bottom, with a black veil covering her face, revealing only a pair of bright, sparkling eyes.
.
Fan Chong didn't know this woman, but he could tell that these men in gray robes holding ring-headed swords were all her subordinates. He said in a solemn voice: "I, Fan Chong, are strangers to you and have no grievances. Why did you do this to me?"
This vicious hand?"
"Following orders, that's all!" the woman said lightly.
"It turns out it's Liu Xiu's minion again!" Fan Chong knew that he would not be able to win tonight. Instead of being passively beaten, he might as well become active and capture the thief first. As he spoke, he suddenly took a step towards the black man.
The woman in clothes rushed over.
The woman in black stood motionless, while the two men in gray robes beside her, holding ring-headed knives, faced Fan Chong and started fighting with him.
Fan Chong was more than capable of killing ordinary soldiers, but against these two masters, he seemed powerless. Fan Chong, who originally wanted to rush towards the woman in black, was forced back by the two men in gray robes.
Jia Fu chased her out the back door and saw exactly this scene. Fan Chong didn't know the woman in black robe, but Jia Fu did. He didn't need to look at her face, just her figure and aura. He immediately recognized her as a flower but not a smoke.
He didn't expect that Yunxi Pavilion would also be involved in this operation. Jia Fu saw Hua Feiyan, and Hua Feiyan also saw Jia Fu. She gave a salute to Jia Fu, and Jia Fu
He then raised his hand and returned the gift.
Hua Feiyan turned his eyes and looked at the people who were forcing Fan Chong's family members, and nodded at them. With Hua Feiyan's instructions, these people were no longer polite and killed Fan Chong's family members.
There were more than ten members of Fan Chong's family. They were all killed in an instant by the swords of the men in gray robes. Looking at the ground, there were corpses scattered everywhere, and the blood gathered together and flowed into a river.
Seeing this, Fan Chong's eyes almost started to bleed, and he roared: "I will fight with you!"
He waved his sword and rushed towards the gray-robed men again, but he was only halfway through when he was stopped by Jia Fu, who said, "Fan Chong, your opponent is me!"
Fan Chong had lost his mind, and he raised his sword to strike regardless of who was blocking him.
Jia Fu raised the sword in his hand and made a clang. Fan Chong was shaken so hard that his feet went weak and he sat down on the ground. The sword in his hand also flew far away. The palm holding the sword kept shaking, and blood flowed down his fingers.
The tip drips downward.
He sat on the ground, with distorted facial features and a ferocious expression. He looked up to the sky and roared: "Liu Xiu, after my death, Fan Chong turned into a ghost and wants to kill you..."
Before he could finish shouting, Jia Fu raised his sword and chopped off Fan Chong's head with one blow. The headless body was still sitting on the ground, and the head had already been rolled up far away.
A man in gray robe stepped on the severed head that rolled in front of him, then bent down to lift it up, walked up to Jia Fu, and handed it over respectfully.
Jia Fu didn't answer, but just shook his head at his soldiers. Then while wiping his sword, he walked up to Hua Feiyan and asked in a low voice: "Why is the Pavilion Master here?"
Hua Feiyan was blessed and said with a smile: "Feiyan came to help the general under your majesty's order. Looking at it now, it is really unnecessary for Feiyan."
Jia Fu waved his hand, cleared his throat, and said, "Master Hua Pavilion, you're welcome."
Hua Feiyan said: "The matter here is over, Feiyan still wants to go somewhere else to have a look. General, Feiyan says goodbye!"
Jia Fu wanted to say something more, but he swallowed it back. He nodded towards Hua Feiyan and watched her disappear into the night with a group of men in gray robes.
Fan Chong, the leader of the Red Eyebrow Army, was executed on the charge of treason less than a year after surrendering to Liu Xiu.
However, Fan Chong did not go on the road alone. He was accompanied by Xu Xuan, Feng An, Xie Lu and other leaders of the Red Eyebrow Army. None of these people escaped, and they were all executed. The charges were the same as Fan Chong's.
It's rebellion.
At this point, at the end of the Western Han Dynasty and the beginning of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the vigorous Red Eyebrow Uprising came to an end.
In its heyday, the Red Eyebrow Army boasted a force of one million, with a main force of hundreds of thousands, and countless other miscellaneous units. From Shandong to Chang'an, it could be said that it was rampaging across the Central Plains, unstoppable.
To destroy Wang Mang, the Red Eyebrow Army contributed a lot, and to destroy Liu Xuan, the Red Eyebrow Army was the main force. It can be said that the Red Eyebrow Army personally overthrew two dynasties.
But it is a pity that to destroy Wang Mang, the Red Eyebrow Army made a wedding dress for the Green Forest Army, and to destroy Liu Xuan, the Red Eyebrow Army made a wedding dress for Liu Xiu. The Red Eyebrow Army personally destroyed two dynasties, and in the end even himself
There is no foundation at all.
Maybe even God doesn't want to see the Red Eyebrow Army. After the Red Eyebrow Army occupied the Sanfu area centered on Chang'an, it just happened to catch up with the severe drought in Sanfu and the food harvest was poor. The hungry Red Eyebrow Army had to abandon Chang'an.
First he went west, but was blocked by Wei Xiao, and finally he had no choice but to go east and have a head-on confrontation with Liu Xiu. As a result, he embarked on the road to destruction.
As the saying goes, those who have gained the right will get more help, but those who have lost the right will get less help. Compared with Liu Xiu, the Red Eyebrow Army, which also holds high the banner of restoring the Han Dynasty, is far different from Liu Xiu in terms of strategic vision, overall planning for the future, or the ability to govern the place and the people.
They are all very different.
All the scholar-bureaucrats and knowledgeable people in the world went to Liu Xiu one after another, but only a few went to the Red Eyebrow Army. Even though the two sides were almost the same in terms of military strength, in terms of overall strength, the Red Eyebrow Army was far inferior to Liu Xiu's army.
Wu court, so Liu Xiu could withstand defeat, but the red eyebrow army was completely incapable of resisting the attack.
Eliminating these leaders of the Red Eyebrow Army was like removing a piece of Liu Xiu's heart. It was only then that he felt that Luoyang was peaceful.
Regarding the emperor Liu Penzi who was supported by the Red Eyebrow Army, Liu Xiu really did not kill him. On the contrary, he always treated Liu Penzi very well and did not even put him under house arrest.
Liu Penzi had been working as a doctor for Liu Liang. Later, Liu Penzi suffered from eye disease and became blind, so he could no longer work in Liu Liang's house. After Liu Xiu learned about this, he specially gave Liu Penzi two shops. Even if Liu Penzi didn't
Even if you don't work, you can live a life without worrying about food and clothing just by renting money from shops.
This is Liu Xiu's character. When he needs to be ruthless, he can be ruthless enough to kill everyone and eliminate future troubles forever. But his nature is also very tolerant, kind and considerate to others.
To achieve great things, one must have both a broad mind and lightning-fast skills. Liu Xiu undoubtedly possesses both of these qualities.
The remnants of the Red Eyebrow Army were wiped out. In the war on the southern front, Cen Pengzheng led the Han army to attack Qin Feng. The war on the eastern front also came to an end with Liu Yong's escape eastward. Next, Liu Xiu's eyes began to look towards
north.
In Youzhou in the north, there is another scourge that has not been eradicated, that is Peng Chong who rebelled in Yuyang County.
