Countless torches under the night sky were particularly gorgeous, and cheers resounded throughout the fields.The passion for victory burns in the sea of people.
Such a scene and atmosphere seemed to be like the war had ended and everything people asked for was within reach.
Zhu Gaoxu breathed a long sigh of relief, and his face faintly showed relaxation and fatigue under the light of the torch.
He rode his horse, and every time he walked to a place, the cheers of the soldiers suddenly became louder.King of Han!The King of Han... The voices rose and fell.
At this time, Qu Neng rode his horse towards him from the west.Amid the noisy sound, Qu Neng stepped forward and clasped his fists and said: Report to King Han, Governor Liu and the generals have led their troops to chase them out, and more and more soldiers are captured.
In such an atmosphere, Qu Neng looked extra calm and calm.
Zhu Gaoxu took a breath and stared at Qu Neng's face very seriously.Zhu Gaoxu's eyes were filled with the light of torches, which made him look brighter.
Governor Qu used his victory on the battlefield to regain his reputation.Zhu Gaoxu said that victory or defeat cannot be judged by heroes, but heroes can only be verified by victory or defeat.
A hint of gratitude and excitement flashed through Qu Neng's calm eyes. He thought for a moment, then he held his fists and saluted: The King of Han is planning and taking charge of the overall situation, and the general dares not take credit for the final result.
Zhu Gaoxu nodded slightly in praise: I know what I know in my heart.
After he said that, he looked back and said: Send more troops to gather defeated enemy troops.
The generals clasped their fists and said: I'll get the order!
drive!Zhu Gaoxu gently kicked the horse's belly and rode his guards onto the north.They rode a horse and ran, and soon they saw the Pacific Field appearing in sight.
Many houses in the market have not yet burned out, and the beams that have turned into charcoal are still shining with a dark red light; the embers everywhere are like cracks in the night.
The smoke smell was very strong, and there seemed to be a layer of mist in the air.
It was noisy around Taiping Field.
When Zhu Gaoxu rode his horse close, he saw many soldiers squatting on the ground through the firelight everywhere, and everyone had no weapons... People learned very quickly, threw away weapons and squatted, and they expressed surrender. This conventional rule was formed within a day.
Killing prisoners is strictly prohibited!Zhu Gaoxu shouted loudly, "The brothers from Sichuan garrisons have followed my king to live and die in Annan Kingdom."The soldiers are definitely unwilling to be enemies with me, but now they are just frightened by the tyranny of the brutal generals and forced to fight!
Many squatting surrendered soldiers followed the reputation, and countless eyes gathered on Zhu Gaoxu's side, and the noise became louder. Thank you for your kindness of not killing... Brothers are willing to follow the Han King...
Zhu Gaoxu took the guards to wander around the place, shouting such words from time to time.
Then he ordered in public: Tell the fleeing people that the entire Sichuan Provincial Administration will be governed by the Han Palace!Starting this year, all households in Taiping Field who suffered war will be exempted from land tax and labor service for three years; the government treasury will open warehouses and release grain, and allocate grains to each household until the autumn harvest next year.
...Not long after nightfall, the battlefield collapsed; but the battle was far from over, and tonight was destined to be a sleepless night.
Escape, pursuit, resistance, surrender, things are still happening everywhere.
The army scattered in the vast night can no longer be controlled by anyone.The situation is like a flood after heavy rain, flowing everywhere.
Bang!Bang!Several huge impacts came, awakening Xue Lu from his trance.
Xue Lu looked up and saw that several soldiers had just broken open the wooden door of a tile house.
Then the swearing voices came from the soldiers. I saw the lights on here just now, and we were wiped out as soon as we came over!Find water quickly!
The barking of dogs in the distance became more and more intense, and many dogs barked one after another, which made people feel upset.
Many people around turned over and got off the horse and stood in the yard to rest.Xue Lu still sat on the horse without saying a word or saying a word.
He felt like his limbs were out of control. He couldn't help but move his arms and found that he had not lost consciousness... Perhaps he just felt that he had lost control of the military strength he had.
The sense of failure seems to come slowly.
It seemed that his heart fell into the ice cave was gradually burning with anger almost burst; the anger burned for a while, and the depression and helplessness poured on him like cold rain, leaving him with nowhere to vent, and his anger and shame and fear...
In fact, when the front army collapsed, Xue Lu had already expected the result!But at that time he could only watch it. It was too late to do so!
Xue Lu was wondering when did it take to recover it? Perhaps thinking about these things is useless now, and there is no medicine for regret in the world.
He was still in shock, and then he gradually realized the situation in front of him.
In the torch light, there were more than a dozen military generals and some cavalry around; Xue Lu observed the faces coldly, most of them were more handsome.
Thinking of countless people on the battlefield who easily surrendered and turned against each other, Xue Lu was filled with resentment and caution when he saw these people around him.
Xue Lu saw the hilt of the knife around his waist and said coldly: Now that things have come to this, don’t you want to take my head and surrender to the rebel King of Han?
Many people's expressions suddenly changed, and there was no voice around them, only dogs barking in the distance and restlessly restless.
Finally someone said: Victory and defeat are common, but the rebels only won a battle.Millions of soldiers in the court will sooner or later quell the rebellion of the King of Han!As soon as this statement was spoken, several people agreed one after another.
At this time, the soldiers came out with buckets, and everyone walked up to scoop the water and delivered it to Xue Lu first.
The person who brought the water was Tan Ji, the cousin of Tan Qing, the new commander of the Jinyiwei.
Both of them came from the capital, and they were born and died together in the Battle of Jingnan, so Tan Ji made Xue Lu feel more at ease.
Xue Lu took a sip of water, then turned over from the horse's back and handed the reins to the soldiers beside him: Feed some water to the horse.
Yes, Grandmaster.The sergeant replied.
The generals then surrounded the bucket and drank water.Some people took advantage of the night to go to the corner to go to the toilet.
Tan Ji came up and whispered: The Grand Marshal is the Prince of Yangwu personally named by the emperor. These Sichuan generals have no courage to touch you.
Xue Lu walked out for a while and greeted Tan Ji to speak.
Tan Ji then whispered: However, the Marquis was defeated and lost 100,000 troops. I am afraid that many people in the court will impeach us.The most dangerous place is the capital.
Is Qu Neng's family still in Chengdu?Xue Lu suddenly asked.
Tan Ji thought for a while and said: It seems to be!During the Jianwen period, Qu Neng was transferred to Sichuan before he was transferred, in front of the commander; in the beginning of Yongle, Qu Neng and his son were detained in Peiping, and later rumored to be burned to death by fire.But some people in the court didn't believe it very much, so they sent Jinyiwei and traitors to Chengdu to guard Qu Neng's mansion, with unknown intentions.The rest of the Qu family should have been in Chengdu Prefecture all the time.
Xue Lu said with a blue face: Go back to Chengdu City and destroy the Qu family first!
Tan Ji looked surprised and frowned: The general wants to kill the Qu family and vent his anger?Don’t report to the court first?
Xue Lu said coldly: If they die, we will live.
Tan Ji still frowned, and for a while, he didn't say anything, lowering his head to think about something.
The soldiers rested for a while and then continued to ride their horses towards Chengdu Prefecture.
At this time, the round moon had already reached the horizon of the western plain, and the sky in the east was gradually turning white, and the light was brighter than the moonlight.
Everyone's torches were burned out of rosin and were thrown away one after another.
When it was just dawn and before dawn, the scenery seemed to have no color.The white mist, the gray sky, and the towering black shadows of Chengdu city towers have already stood hazy in the fog.
When Xue Lu came to Sichuan to serve as the commander-in-chief and general, he accompanied him with a cavalry in the Beijing camp.
After dawn, most of the cavalry fled back to the city and did not surrender to the rebels... After all, their families were all in the Gyeonggi area, and the soldiers wanted to go back to reunite with their families.
The Qu Mansion suffered a disaster early in the morning. Xue Lu transferred the cavalry into the mansion, drove the Jinyiwei out of the door, and then killed everyone!
Qu Neng's other son, Qu Yu, and his whole family, were cut off and hung on the city gate, lined up in a row, and the scene was very terrifying!
While Xue Lu was dispatching troops to destroy the Qu family, he went to the yamen of the governor's office to meet Guo Zi and advised Guo Zi to go to Chongqing Prefecture with him.Wait until the reinforcements from Huguang arrive, and then attack Chengdu Prefecture!
At this time, Guo Zi had learned the outcome of the war ahead, but he did not mention it at all. He did not comment on whether Xue Lu could still mobilize reinforcements.
Guo Zi said calmly: There are still 30,000 defenders in Chengdu. I will gather some troops and young men to help with defense. I can still defend the city with the city defense fortifications; then I will immediately submit a report to the court to request reinforcements to enter Sichuan.
He in turn advised Xue Lu: Why don’t Mr. Xue stay in Chengdu and defend this city together.As long as you wait until the reinforcements arrive, you may be able to make up for your mistakes, there is still a glimmer of hope!
Xue Lu thought for a while, shook his head and refused.
At this moment, a green-robed official walked out of the study door to ask for a meeting.With the permission, the green-robed official walked in quickly and whispered a few words in Guo Zi's ear.
Did Mr. Xue send someone to kill the Qu family?Guo Zi's face changed.
Xue Lu did not say a word and agreed to this matter.
Guo Zi stood up from the chair and waved his hand gently to the green-robed official to go out.
He paced back and forth a few steps next to the desk, and suddenly said in a deep voice: "Marquis Yangwu is unwilling to stay and defend the city to the death, but he thought he had found such a way to survive?"
Xue Lu gritted his teeth and said: There are too many old subordinates of the Sichuan Provincial Administration Office on the territory of the Sichuan Provincial Government (Zhu Gaoxu) and Qu Neng, and it is very unfair to fight like this!What's more, there are only 30,000 left to fight against the rebels, and this battle cannot be fought!When I will survive this level, I will definitely make a comeback. I will not be a human being without avenging this revenge!
Guo Zi said: If Marquis Yangwu takes advantage of his merits and mistakes, can the court still avenge you?
Xue Ludao: I have my own way.
Guo Zi sighed and shook his head and said: Everyone has their own ambitions, and I can't force Yangwuhou.
After hearing this, Xue Lu didn't say much, and clasped his fists and said: So, say goodbye!
Such a scene and atmosphere seemed to be like the war had ended and everything people asked for was within reach.
Zhu Gaoxu breathed a long sigh of relief, and his face faintly showed relaxation and fatigue under the light of the torch.
He rode his horse, and every time he walked to a place, the cheers of the soldiers suddenly became louder.King of Han!The King of Han... The voices rose and fell.
