Chapter 473

First Jitou pass, then Jigu. After Huan Wen decided to recruit and subdue the rebels, the Han Army became very smooth in the next promotion. Most of them were accepting the surrender of the defenders, and only some sections needed to be conquered.

There are many reasons why most of the defenders in the north of the Han dynasty fell without fighting. After the invasion of the Han Army, the offensive was too fast and too fierce, which was more or less the dominant factor, and the most important was Li Yi's backwater.

The reason why Li Yi turned against the water is quite simple. His identity is high enough to know the current situation of Li Chenghan and the long-term internal turmoil. After the new king ascended the throne, there has been more than one rebellion. Most of the civil servants and military generals who are really the country have been killed. There are not many national cities in Li Chenghan, and some are speculators like him.

A useless and more stupid king, a high-level state composed of speculators, will sooner or later be overthrown by the people when there is no external threat. It is natural to be attacked and destroyed when there is an external threat and the strength of the foreign enemy is strong.

As a Taibao, Li Yi decided to give up the secret and turn to the light. He didn't spend much effort at Jitou pass. He just set up a game and killed the pass captain. As soon as Fu An died, the garrison was immediately in his hands, and the next moment was to surrender.

The competition process of Ji Gu was not too complicated. Li Yi took the Han Army in Li's Chenghan military uniform and easily captured most of the Guancheng along the way. The fierce battle only occurred when he captured the main camp of Ji Gu. However, because Li's Chenghan army could not recover from the rapidly changing situation, the competition for the main camp seemed fierce, but it could not change anything.

In April of the fourth year of Yuanshuo, the Han Army protruding in front was only 27 li away from Nanzheng. They dressed up as Li's Chenghan army. They had just left the mountain from the Baoxie road and faced a small town called Huangsha in front of Nanzheng.

Huangsha is less than six miles away from the exit of Baoxie road and is located within ten miles of the East Bank of Baoshui. As a city established during the Shu and Han Dynasties, it was originally a military fortress. With the continuous flow of a long history, it gradually became an ordinary city for resettling people, once evolving in prosperity and decline.

As the main general min Jian who resisted the Han Army in the north, he arranged 8000 garrisons in the small town of Huangsha. After all, the exit of Baoxie road where Huangsha is in place is not far away. The importance of this position has been shown in the Shu Han period, otherwise he would not build the city.

Because Li Yi's backwater is not only min Jian in Nanzheng who doesn't know the development of the war, but also the garrison of Huangsha doesn't know the situation ahead. There are not many Han troops disguised. It's easy to let the garrison of Huangsha open the gate with Li Yi's warrant.

Li's Chenghan soldiers guarding the city gate are full of doubts. The average height of Shu is about 1.6 meters, but some Guanzhong immigrants are generally more than 1.7 meters. However, Li's Chenghan is a Di people's regime, so Li's Chenghan gives priority to the same ethnic group of Hu people when recruiting troops. Most Hu people are about 1.5 meters in size, Relatively tall Jin people are rarely recruited.

The average height of the Han and Miao people in the Central Plains is more than 1.7 meters. The soldiers of the Han Army are the Han and Miao people in the Central Plains. When they are far away, they don't seem so abrupt. When the two sides are close, it will become very obvious.

"Do it!"

Just like the previous times, it is the height gap that makes the camouflage appear huge loopholes after approaching. As a result, you can't completely rely on the camouflage to enter the city at all. You can only do it directly at the city gate.

At the beginning of the fighting, the cries of killing in different languages rang out, which spread from the gate to the city. After controlling the city, a small number of Han troops gradually drove inward.

A fierce battle broke out in Huangsha, and the Han army without camouflage appeared in the area that could be seen at the head of the city.

On the horizon with the mountains as the background, banners appeared first, and a long black shadow moved forward. There were enough soldiers to form a large black shadow.

There is a saying that Wangshan runs a dead horse, and Wangcheng will also run a dead horse. However, due to the factors of the plank road, the Han Army along the way does not have many cavalry. They can clearly see the city in the distance, but it is not so easy to arrive in a short time.

"Be at ease." Liu Rui was following the troops, trotting and talking: "Lin Feng brought all the front selection, and he will firmly control the gate."

There's nothing wrong. Liu Rui's Department was once again selected as a striker. Lin Feng was Liu Rui's accustomed Marquis and was sent to capture the city gate of Huangsha.

Every Han sergeant is trotting. They still need to run six or seven miles to reach Huangsha. There are more than 700 robes fighting in front.

Huangsha is really a small city with a resident population of no more than 10000. Most of them are Qiang and Di people, and a few are zahu and Han Miao people. After 8000 garrison troops settled, the city became very crowded.

Fierce fighting broke out on the north wall, and the news soon spread all over the city. Of course, the defenders rushed to support immediately, and the people's reactions could not be described one by one.

Honest head is a Han Miao descendant living in Huangsha city. His family has six people, a daughter-in-law, three sons and one daughter. The oldest son is 19 years old and the youngest daughter is only three years old.

The news that the Han army is going to fight has long been heard, and the news that the Hu people launched racial hatred and killing has long been heard. The racial hatred and killing situation in Li's Chenghan country is not serious compared with that in the Central Plains. That is because Shu was the current situation of multi-ethnic coexistence long ago, and then Li's Chenghan ruling class was not interested in racial hatred and killing.

During the outbreak of the war, any movement around him would be very abrupt. Honest head hid behind the porter with a kitchen knife. He heard a small knock on the door, but he seemed to hear thunder.

His real name was Li Chengcheng. His 19-year-old son and his 17-year-old second son leaned against the wall with farm tools. His younger children were hugged by his daughter-in-law and hid in the inner room.

A few quiet taps on the door shocked almost everyone in the family. As the honest head of the family, he almost cleaved the kitchen knife to the weak door.

"Honest head, it's me."

The voice is a little rough. The people who make the noise have dark and rough skin like ordinary people. The simple and honest face looks a little excited at the moment. Others call him Lao Zhang tou, whose full name is Zhang San.

The honest head looked outside from the crack of the door. When he saw that people didn't open the door, he responded in a stuffy voice: "war is in chaos. Don't hide from disaster. What are you doing here?"

There are not only Lao Zhang outside the door, but also several familiar old neighbors.

"Open the door first." Lao Zhang's head continued to knock on the door board again. He seemed to be gasping for breath. He said excitedly or nervously, "Master Wang is coming. It's time for us to fight for the future for the young man."

To be honest, I know what Lao Zhang said. There is too much ethnic hatred in the Central Plains. The fight between Hu and Han can be said to be a river of blood and millions of corpses. It's hard to know. Under the large-scale ethnic vendetta, the newly rising leader of the Han state offered a reward. The reward was not only for the Hu people in the Central Plains, but also for the countries around the Central Plains. The Hu people took their heads to the Han territory to ask for a reward. In Huangsha small town, there was really a Han man who had enough to eat and the whole family was not hungry, killing his enemy. The Hu people cut their heads and ran away, resulting in many crimes for the Han people who did not run away.

It's very straightforward to fight for the future for the young man. If the Han Army didn't kill them, as long as they didn't die but were bullied, they could endure the pain and survive. Anyway, they survived for decades. But now that the Han army is killing, it's one thing to take advantage of the chaos, take revenge and complain. The more important thing is that killing Hu can get a reward. Shouldn't he earn a few acres of thin fields for his family and fight for the possibility of young men joining the Han army?

In the sound of "babbling", the door opened and several people poured into the small house.

"When Master Wang kills here, all the passes in front of him have been captured." Lao Zhang's simple and honest face was both nervous and excited. He trembled his lips and said, "ah Liu is just like playing when he sees shizai Wang. He is sure to capture the city."

Ah Liu in Lao Zhang's mouth is actually one of the soldiers in Huangsha county. He is a hybrid of Hu and Han. After the outbreak of the war, the hybrid chose to run, sneak home, take off his blue uniform, and then sneak to the neighbor's head Zhang's house for a burst of encouragement.

"Really killed?" Honest head's hand was shaking. He subconsciously glanced at the eldest and second in the family and swallowed: "if it's true that we should be the masters of the country and reward fields and officials... Let's fight?"

It seemed to echo each other from a distance. Bursts of noise and fighting suddenly came. It was the people with faster hands and feet who were already fighting.

Seven or eight people poured out of the honest boss's house. What they saw was a chaotic street. Usually honest neighbors twisted all kinds of things as weapons to fight each other. It was the Han and Hu people who were fighting hard.

When the Han people saw the Han Army coming, they felt that the sky above their heads was going to change. They should have the courage to earn something for themselves. They will contact and collude with each other, gather enough people and start looking for opportunities.

When the Hu people learned that the Han Army had killed them, too many rumors may not be true, but they believed that the Han army would clean the Hu people. They were worried and afraid that they must want to live. Running away has become the choice of most Hu people. They have to help each other when they run.

People from two different camps suddenly encounter on the road. The first moment may be stunned and stunned. Both sides stare at each other for a short time. It is no need to study who rushed to each other first. The fight begins like that.

"Get it!" Lao Zhang shouted with a vibrato: "kill them!"

I don't know when the battle began to erupt in a large area, and the first was between the non military forces. After the reaction of the garrison came, the Chinese people were mobilized to suppress the Han people. Soon after, the defenders did not know what was what they had killed.

When Liu Rui led his troops to the ground, he went up the city tower and looked into the city. One smoke after another floated from the city to the sky. Within his sight, there were fighting scenes everywhere.

"The people in the city killed Hu spontaneously." Lin Feng didn't personally participate in the fight. He had no blood on his body and no mess in his hair. He held the hilt of the sword at his waist in one hand and the helmet in the other hand. He grinned and said, "the garrison also fought by himself."

The Huangsha garrison will fight on its own. It is the contact partners of some people who have surrendered, and the Han and Miao people in the Garrison who stand on the side of their parents and villagers.

The Han Army constantly pushed into the city from the gate. What they have to do now is to put out the rebels and send people to contact those who revolt.

In the afternoon, the fighting in Huangsha city had completely stopped, and the flags of the Han army were flying at the head of the city.

When Yuan Qiao's figure appeared in Huangsha, Liu Rui had made things clear.

"Naturally, the reward of the people is to verify the statistics and issue the reward as quickly as possible." Yuan Qiao had the right to reward the land, but it should be the batch of ownerless land after he got it, which was usually held by the killed Hu people. He asked Liu Rui, "have you sent scouts?"

Huangsha is less than 20 miles away from Nanzheng. The mountains still account for the majority all the way. There is only a small plain within seven miles of Nanzheng.

"Sent." Liu Rui spoke face to face with Yuan Qiao for the first time, and his attitude was very respectful: "the first batch of scouts have paid off. About 15000 enemy troops left the city in Nanzheng, went out for four or five miles, and then turned back."

Yuan Qiao just uttered "ha ha" twice.

There are 50000 Li's Chenghan garrison in Nanzheng. It is normal for min Jian to send 15000 to rescue Huangsha. Unless he confirms that Huangsha is lost, it is abnormal to withdraw later.

Yuan Qiao's judgment is that Min Jian's psychological pressure is huge. Even min Jian doesn't understand how the Han army appeared in Huangsha so quickly. The huge psychological pressure and the inability to grasp the situation make min Jian choose the most conservative strategy, that is, he would rather let the Huangsha garrison fall than take any risks.

[it seems that this is a win.] yuan Qiao's expression on his face shows his inner thoughts, and Liu Rui on the side also shows a relaxed smile. He finds that Liu Rui is smiling, restrains his mood, and says, "select some prominent representatives, and I will personally issue rewards to them."

Ah Liu became a hero. Most of the people involved in the uprising said that ah Liu contacted and organized the rebellion. It doesn't matter whether it really matters.

Yuan Qiao saw Ah Liu as a 24-year-old mixed race. In fact, as long as ah Liu didn't say it himself, he couldn't see that he was a mixed race with no difference from the Han and Miao people, and ah Liu said it himself at the first time.

"The blood of Han people is more in the blood vessels of villains, and a heart beats completely for the children of Han family." Ah Liu's attitude seemed very humble. As soon as he saw yuan Qiao, he pushed Jinshan down to Yuzhu and bowed down. He spoke in a singing tone: "I had the intention to go to master Wang early in the morning. Now I finally achieved my wish."

On the surface, Yuan Qiao was full of dignity. He nodded while listening. In fact, he was stunned.
