Chapter 406 The Sea of ??Fire
Yu Zhen did not expect that things would go so smoothly, and he immediately felt confident. He immediately ordered the arrest of the soldiers loyal to Cui Tianyou in the army, and the generals also followed the order. In fact, the news had already spread by this time, but because the matter was too serious
It was so shocking that many soldiers loyal to Cui Tianyou had no time to react. When they realized it, it was already too late to organize a counterattack. People sent by Yu Zhen had already arrested them one after another. In the end, only some small-scale conflicts occurred in the army.
, were successfully suppressed by Yu Zhen. In just one day, Yu Zhen took command of nearly ten thousand troops.
At that time, Yu Zhen almost went crazy with joy. If he had known that it was so simple, he would have done it a long time ago. Why would he have to fight openly and secretly with Cui Tianyou until today? But he also knew that it was not time to feel completely relieved yet, so he immediately made a decision to put a
Cui Tianyou's loyalists were executed on the spot to avoid future troubles, and with a character like Yu Zhen's, he certainly would not let go of this opportunity to retaliate against others. He beat up a group of people who were usually at odds with him as Cui Tianyou.
Tianyou's "accomplices" were questioned and executed together. Although many people knew that this was an injustice, there was no room to reason about it. As a result, a large number of wronged souls were added to the army overnight.
At this time, Yu Zhen had basically controlled the military power, but he understood that the nights were long and the dreams were many. Over time, he had to fake the imperial edict and had to work with other gangs. The only solution now was to quickly send troops to fight the rebels. If he won, everything would be over and he would take a step back.
Yan said that even if he lost, with Liu and Wang here, he would imitate Ning Xiaoquan and raise his troops to surrender. Even if he did not get the glory and wealth, it would not be a problem to save his life. Therefore, Yu Zhen immediately ordered the entire army to pursue him.
Many generals in the army did not agree with this decision. They knew how to use troops. Although Cui Tianyou's previous strategy was conservative, it was very safe. Now, taking the initiative to attack would be unpredictable, but Yu Zhen had the military power at this time.
, who dares not to listen to him, I will accuse you of Cui Tianyou's "accomplice" at that time. Everyone is greedy for life and afraid of death, so they have no choice but to do it. In fact, this is also the reason why Ning Sixiao killed his father to seize the throne, which caused the disintegration of the hearts of the rebels.
, most people are only thinking about themselves now, and have completely lost the energy and spirit they had when they followed Ning Zeen in raising an army.
Finally, after a day and night of chasing, the vanguard of the rebel army finally encountered the rebel army in Hulu Valley. The two sides fought a battle. The rebel army collapsed at the first touch and retreated quickly. This made Yu Zhen's confidence suddenly increase, and he ordered the entire army to pursue them fiercely.
, worked hard to win a big victory, but after the main force of the rebels entered Hulu Valley, many generals realized that something was wrong. The terrain was very suitable for an ambush. One of the generals had a good personal relationship with Yu Zhen and felt it necessary to remind him.
So I went to him and explained my concerns.
Although Yu Zhen was not born in the military, he had seen all kinds of wars in the past few years, and he knew a little bit about how to use troops. When he saw the terrain, he felt something was not good. At that time, he was a little hesitant to stop advancing. The result was
At this moment, I suddenly heard a trumpet sound, and then there were ambushes all around. Sure enough, all of this was a trap set by the rebel army.
At this time, Yu Zhen also realized that he had been fooled, but it was too late. He immediately had to order the entire army to retreat. However, the terrain in Hulu Valley was too immoral, and there was only one way to go. The army was in chaos and crowded with each other.
The retreat was slow, only to be met with a head-on attack by the rebel army.
At this time, the rebels were at a disadvantage in terms of numbers, terrain, and morale. The result can be imagined. In the end, most of the 10,000 rebels were killed or injured. Most of the survivors chose to surrender. Yu Zhen didn't know what to do.
Whether it was good luck or not, he was lucky enough not to die on the battlefield. He crawled to the entrance of the Calabash Valley with a few of his cronies. They originally thought of escaping once they got here, but at this time a group of people stopped them.
"Yu Shijun, where are you going?" A young woman in the lead sneered at Yu Zhen. When the latter heard that the voice sounded so familiar, he looked up and saw that it was Liu Qian.
"Liu...Miss Liu, why are you here?" Yu Zhen already understood that the other party was a spy and that all of this was a trap for him. However, although he regretted it, he saw that the people behind Liu Qian were more powerful than himself.
Many, at that time, I still decided that a good man would not suffer the immediate loss.
"Of course I'm waiting for you, envoy. You are really lucky to be able to escape from such a huge battlefield."
When Yu Zhen saw that he had no choice now, he immediately knelt down and begged: "Miss Liu, no, Miss Liu, please do it for the sake of General Li, and for the sake of you, I didn't do it when you were in the camp.
I'm sorry, please spare my life. From now on, I am willing to be your slave."
Liu Qian nodded upon hearing this: "Yu Shijun is serious. You have helped us so much, how can we repay kindness with hatred? By the way, do you think who is that?"
Liu Qian said and pointed at Yu Zhen behind him. The latter really didn't think of anything else this time and subconsciously turned around to look. Unexpectedly, Liu Qian pulled out her sword and pointed it at Yu Zhen's back, directly stabbing Yu Zhen.
Shocked, the latter screamed and fell to the ground. When Yu Zhen turned his head and looked at Liu Qian who was wiping the blood on the sword, Yu Zhen's eyes were full of surprise.
"You...you..." Yu Zhen died of anger before he even had time to issue the final question. He never closed his eyes until the end.
Liu Qian looked at him and sneered: "Don't be dissatisfied. Who dares to keep a person like you who has harmed your colleagues for your own selfish interests? If you are to blame, just blame yourself for your many unjust actions."
In the end, the rebel army paid the price for their selfishness and short-sightedness just like Yu Zhen. After this great victory, the rebel army held a celebration party internally. Liu and Wang went deep into the enemy camp and carried out counterintuitive tactics. Naturally,
Being promoted as the first contributor, the two of them were quite modest about this and were not arrogant at all. Ning Xiaoquan, who proposed the plan, was considered the second contributor. In addition, in order to draw a clear line with the rebels, he had already changed his name back to his original name.
Zhang Xiaoquan, although everyone was very happy to win this time, the celebration did not last long. After all, everyone knew that there was a bigger goal waiting for them, and that was Xinjing, which had almost opened its door to them. If they win
This was the greatest achievement in the world. To defeat the rebels, they didn't even have time to rest and recuperate, so they marched straight towards Xinjing.
This time, Luo Tianbao was still the vanguard. In order for his son to perform meritorious service, Lin Yunfei assigned almost all his elite soldiers to him. Luo Tianbao also thought about it. Xinjing is Dayou's hometown, so this is bound to be a rare event
It was a tough battle, so he discussed several siege plans with Li Bu, Wu Xun and others during the march.
Seeing that Xinjing was getting closer and closer, Luo Tianbao's fighting spirit became stronger and stronger. However, when the army was about to attack the city, the scouts sent out brought back shocking news that Xinjing had been burned.
When Luo Tianbao first heard about this, he thought he was dreaming, but several scouts came back and said so. He realized that the situation was right. When he led his men to the outskirts of Xinjing, he saw that the whole of Xinjing had already turned into a sea of flames.
Thick smoke was rising straight into the sky. After asking locals nearby, I realized that Ning Sixiao had abandoned the city and left.
It turns out that after the news of the defeat of Hulu Valley spread back to Xinjing, Dayou was in an uproar. These 10,000 people were almost the last force that Ning Sixiao could mobilize. This defeat meant that Xinjing's eastern front was no longer able to continue.
