Chapter 655 Thirty Years Later, He Is a Hero Again

I understand that I understand, and I was a little bit moved, but I didn't seem eager, and asked hesitantly, "This king has little talent, I'm afraid it's inappropriate?"

Long Xiu: "My lord is the Great Sima of the Yan Kingdom. He commands the army to put down the rebellion. His name is justified. No one is more suitable than you."

Shang Yongzhong smiled bitterly, "Palace Master, I'm afraid this matter will be difficult to handle. I don't have the hundred thousand cavalry in hand, and I can't shout the slogan of not suppressing the rebels, but only suppressing the princes, let alone do it. Clearly, I can't command the princes of the five routes at all, asking me to replace Shang Chaozong is making things difficult for me."

Long Xiu: "You don't have to worry about this. At this moment and at that moment, the Wugongling rebel army is nothing more than that. The princes of the Five Routes are very confident that they will be wiped out. At present, they are just afraid that they will fight on their own and need someone to coordinate. The prince does not care about his status. They are all the most suitable candidates, and I have already greeted Gong Lince and Meng Xuan."

Shang Yongzhong understood, it was not for him to order the princes of the five routes, but for him to coordinate in the middle.

But he still didn't dare to agree easily, hesitatingly said: "How does the Palace Master plan to deal with Shang Chaozong?"

Long Xiu: "The elders of Xiaoyao Palace can't die in vain. This palace has to give an account to Xiaoyao Palace. The army in the east has already dispatched people from Xiaoyao Palace to rush there. They will wait for the opportunity to take down Shang Chaozong and take him to the capital to be dealt with by His Majesty." !"

Shang Yongzhong reminded: "Shang Chaozong has 100,000 cavalry by his side, once something happens..."

Long Xiu waved his hand to interrupt: "You don't need to worry about this, the matter will be settled on my side, and it won't cause trouble for you to take over. Now I just ask if you want to?"

Shang Yongzhong immediately cupped his hands and said, "How dare you not obey the palace master's order."

Long Xiu pointed out: "Switching generals just before the battle is a big taboo for military strategists, for fear that someone will object. You should find a way to deal with the people in the court, and I will cooperate with you in the rest."

"Okay, I understand." Shang Yongzhong responded.

After the two parted, Shang Yongzhong immediately went to the important place of the center, found Da Sikong Tongmo and Da Situ Gao Jiancheng, explained his intentions, and hoped that the two could help and cooperate. As long as these two help, naturally there will be nothing wrong with the court Criticism.

Tong Mo and Gao Jiancheng didn't object to this, they both knew Shang Jianxiong's intentions, and now that Long Xiu had spoken, the matter would be easier to handle.

The three then begged to see Shang Jianxiong together.

Shang Yongzhong didn't hide it from Shang Jianxiong either, knowing that it was impossible to hide it from Shang Jianxiong when he met Long Xiu in the palace, so he told the truth.

In the end, there was no surprise. The impact of the momentum of the Shang Dynasty's suppression of the rebellion had already made Shang Jianxiong feel like a stick in his throat.

However, he was more cautious. He did not make a decree rashly. The decree was given to Shang Yongzhong first. The premise is that Xiaoyao Palace can settle the matter and confirm that it will not cause trouble. When the emperor makes this decree, he is a fool...

The speed at which the Yan rebels were defeated, or the speed at which the people of Yan put down the rebellion, surprised all forces in the world.

The troops from Wugongling attacked all the way to the east, led by almost all the troops from the headquarters of Cangzhou, all of them were battle-tested troops. It was difficult for the state capitals along the way to block their momentum, so they avoided fighting with them. However, Wugongling didn't follow them at all. Entanglement, leave quickly.

As for the counter-insurgency army chasing after them, after Wu Gongling gathered 500,000 troops, he appointed a newly promoted general as commander.

The newly promoted general was named Tu Mingguang, who was originally a tyrant in the market. After the rebellion, he decisively gathered a group of refugees and turned them into bandits. During the heyday, he gathered more than 100,000 people. Later, he saw that the Cangzhou rebels were defeated by the court. In fear, he took refuge in Wu Gongling, and followed the siege of cities and land, burning, killing, looting, raping women, drinking heavily, and eating large pieces of meat.

However, a common man, no matter his ability or knowledge, was no match for Wu Gongling, this time Wu Gongling took full advantage of him.

Hearing that he was promoted to the commander of 500,000 people, it was really a bloody rush, as if the opportunity to become a prince was at hand, he patted his chest on Wu Gongling to express his loyalty, and promised to stick to it for a day.

So he led 500,000 people to guard the pass. According to his thinking, there are so many people who can hold on casually for a day, and then quickly run to join the general.

As a result, Xinmao, the governor of Fuzhou, personally led an army of 50,000 to come.

When he fought Wu Gongling earlier, he did not try his best to protect himself. Now that he is doing his best and his morale is high, Shi Xinmao will not pay attention to this group of mobs.

It was indeed a mob, almost all of the Cangzhou rebel headquarters went with Wu Gongling.

But after all, there were so many people, Shi Xinmao didn't dare to underestimate the enemy, so he stood up and observed for a while.

But looking at the opponent's formation, he didn't know anything about it. After Shi Xinmao understood the situation, he sneered, and the army immediately launched an attack.

He sent two groups of men and horses to go left and right, and directly attacked with rockets, burning the forest, the flames soared into the sky, and burned the large group of rebels who were ambushing in the forest, crying and howling.

Tu Mingguang originally wanted to rely on the cover of the left and right mountains and forests to block the enemy's attack, but he didn't know that the burning of his own personnel was messed up, and the personnel rushed and ran in disorder.

Taking advantage of the chaos, Shi Xinmao's main force attacked by force and broke through the pass in one go, and the disorganized mob was defeated in one fell swoop.

The monks from Korea and Song Dynasty who were sent by Wu Gongling to cooperate were also in bad luck. They were also taken advantage of by Wu Gongling, not to mention many casualties. To attack, he could only flee in panic.

Tu Mingguang failed to escape and was captured alive by Shi Xinmao.

Hundreds of thousands of rebels should be called rioters. They didn't even have a formal uniform. They wore all kinds of clothes, put down their weapons, and squatted on the ground.

Tens of thousands of people were burned to death in the flames, some were killed, and some fled. The remaining almost 400,000 people surrendered. At a glance, they were in a mess, and everyone was terrified. What fate.

Shi Xinmao rode on a tall horse, looking back and forth among the mob, with a heavy heart, how to deal with these people would be a problem.

kill them all? He cannot afford the reputation of this massacre.

Released all? Once they get together again, he will not be able to bear that responsibility.

If it is raised, how much food and grass will be consumed.

Just taking care of these people is a drag, because the hundreds of thousands of people in front of him have held back his pursuers, and they can no longer pursue Wu Gongling's troops.

He knew very well in his heart that these people could not be compared with Wu Gongling's troops. The real troops in Wu Gongling were all battle-tested. It was impossible for him to send a small group of troops to pursue them. It would be like sending people to death.

At this time, the other party found out that they seemed to have been tricked by Wu Gongling, and these people were used by Wu Gongling to delay the pursuit of the army.

This dragged on for almost a day, and the sky was still bright at night, and the fire on the mountain was still not extinguished, spreading and burning all the way.

In the early morning of the next day, the sky was still covered by wildfire smoke, the air was full of burning smell, and there were continuous ashes visible to the naked eye floating down from the sky, like snow.

There was a rush of roaring horseshoes, and upon receiving the news, Shang Chaozong led the cavalry to rush over.

Hundreds of thousands of rebels could not have been squatting all night. They had been lying on the ground in a mess after a night, and they had survived the whole night. At this time, they were all awakened by the sound of rumbling horseshoes.

Knowing that Shang Dynasty Zong was coming, the Elder Zu Ande of Lingjian Mountain avoided it.

Goodbye to Shang Chaozong, Shi Xinmao had a complicated expression on his face. How could he not know Shang Chaozong when he was under King Ning, and he was very familiar with it.

Seeing Meng Shanming who came with the army, who was much older, and was stared at by Meng Shanming, Shi Xinmao felt ashamed and ashamed, he did not dare to look at Meng Shanming, and slowly lowered his head, many generals in Fuzhou They all lowered their heads.

Shi Xinmao finally bit the bullet and went to see him.

Afterwards, Tu Mingguang, the bandit leader, was brought over, and all the bandit leaders were forced to kneel down. Only Tu Mingguang stood there stubbornly and refused to kneel, and roared loudly: "If you want to kill, you can kill, if you want to cut, you can cut it. Thirty years later, it will be done again." A good man!"

Shang Chaozong, who was sitting on horseback, said coldly: "Burn, kill, loot, rape women, commit all kinds of crimes, and deserve to call himself a hero? If you drag it down, you will be executed by Ling Chi! The rest of the gangsters will all be the leaders!"

Tu Mingguang roared: "Shang Chaozong, how dare you fight grandpa..."

Before he finished speaking, he was slapped on his mouth by the blade of a saber, smashing his teeth, bleeding from his mouth and nose, and his eyes were blurred. He was dragged down without a sound.

"My lord, spare my life! My lord, spare my life..."

A group of bandit leaders were dragged away screaming miserably, and then bursts of wailing sounded, Ling Chi's feeling was not good.

"Your department will continue to pursue immediately!" Shang Chaozong turned around and gave Shi Xinmao an order.

"Take the order!" Shi Xinmao took the order and left with all his troops. Hundreds of thousands of captives were handed over to Shang Chaozong.

After half a day, several groups of counter-insurgency troops arrived one after another. Apart from Shi Xinmao's remaining troops, Shang Chaozong sent another two groups to continue chasing them.

The rest of the people discussed how to deal with the prisoners, and they had different opinions.

What Shi Xinmao was worried about was similar to what Shi Xinmao had worried about before. What Shang Chaozong meant was that they were all innocent people who were trying to survive, and it was fine if they were not held accountable. The places where the war had ravaged needed population recovery.

Ga Miaoshui did not agree. To the imperial court, they were all rioters. What if they rebelled again?

But if he said they were all killed, he wouldn't dare to say that. No one can bear the reputation of massacring hundreds of thousands of rioters...

In the mountain, a golden wing fluttered down. Guan Fangyi took the letter and went to the silent Niu Youdao under the tree.

"News from the red-faced monkey." Guan Fangyi waved the letter in his hand and greeted him.

Niu Youdao took a look at the letter and found that it was written in words that only he and Yuan Gang could understand. After carefully reading the content, he slowly tore the letter to pieces, his eyes flickering, as if he was thinking about something.

Guan Fangyi knew that whenever she saw a secret letter in this kind of writing, there must be something urgent, so she couldn't help asking, "What's the matter?"

Niu Youdao supported the sword in front of his body with both hands, and sighed, "Something happened to Sha Shi Sheng, Xiaoyao Palace is going to attack the prince."

Guan Fangyi showed suspicion, "How do you know that Xiaoyao Palace is going to attack the prince? Do you still have eyeliner in Xiaoyao Palace?"
