Chapter 25 Shudi Raises the Banner 3

It is said that Li Tangdu recruited the commander and Gao Renhou to adopt the trick of disintegration, taking the captured volunteers as hostages, coercing the captured volunteers to return to Shuangliu, looking for their trusted volunteers, and surrendering to the Tang army.

After Gao Renhou sent more than 100 captured volunteers to Shuangliu, he led his army to set out. After arriving in Shuangliu, he came out to welcome Bai Wen. Gao Renhou looked around at the trench fence and said angrily, "A group of people are all people who cultivate the land. You have been unable to capture these thieves for more than a year. Now when you see that the trench fences here overlap so firmly, you can probably sleep safely and eat all day long to raise the thief bandits to ask for credit!"

After saying that, Gao Renhou ordered his own soldiers to pull Bai Wenxian out of the camp and behead him. The supervisor tried his best to rescue him. After a long time, Bai Wenxian was saved from death. Gao Renhou ordered all the trench fences to be leveled, leaving only 500 Tang soldiers guarding, and the rest of the Tang soldiers followed him, and ordered the Tang soldiers of each stockade to gather one after another.

The Rebel Detective Ma knew that Gao Renhou led troops into the double stream and reported the military situation to the leaders of the rebels such as Jianneng. Tian can allocate 10,000 horses to Luo Hunqing to set up five camps in the west of Shuangliu. Yan Neng, Ju Hu Monk, Luo Fuzi and Han Qiu set up more than 20,000 ambushes in the area of Yeqiao Jing to stop the Tang army.

After spying on this military situation, Gao Renhou led troops to surround Luo Hunqing's barracks and ordered not to be killed. Instead, he sent people to take off their military costumes and sneak into the volunteer camp to spread the message, as he said to the group of captured volunteers a few days ago.

The captured volunteers who were released by Gao Renhou suddenly killed the volunteers guarding the Zhaimen in Luo Hunqing's camp. Hundreds of other volunteers also betrayed the Rebels before the battle because they were influenced by the captured volunteers in advance. They shouted, scrambled to abandon their armor, threw away their weapons, and ran out of the village gate to surrender to the Tang army.

Gao Renhou seized the chaos of the camp and ordered an attack. The stone throwing machine of the Tang army was launched, and the large and small stones hit the camp like raindrops. Then, the Tang army's bow and crossbow hands fired a large number of rockets, and the camp suddenly ignited a raging fire!

The Tang army entered the Rebel Village like a tide. Luo Hunqing was shocked and fought to the death with his subordinates. As a result, he was shot by Mo Kuang in the melee. Luo Hunqing was trampled into meat and mud by the iron cavalry of the Tang army in a blink of an eye. In this battle, 10,000 people of the Rebels were lost. Gao Renhou ordered to burn all five camps of the Rebels and only stay. Put down the confiscated flag.

Gao Renhou continued to use the alienation method. He said to the surrendered volunteers, "At the beginning, I wanted to let you go home immediately, but the people of the stockades on the road in front of me did not know what I was thinking. Some people would have worries and questions. Now with the help of you, when I walked in front of them, passing through the area of Xinjin Village, to the people there Show the word "return" when you go north, tell them the reason for surrender, and let you go back when it comes to Yangong.

Gao Renhou ordered the volunteers to surrender and took Luo Hunqing's flag and hung it upside down. Every 50 people formed a team and shouted with the flag: "Luo Hunqing has been killed. We are the army of the Tang Dynasty. Those of you who live in the stockade, come out and surrender like us, and you can immediately become a good citizen of the court, so that your whole family will be safe!"

When the Tang army arrived at the mouth, Juhu monk set up eleven camps. The volunteers in the village scrambled to come out and surrender. Juhu monk panicked and pulled out his sword to stop him. The surrender soldiers hit him with tile stones and grabbed him together and dedicated him to Gao Renhou. Most of the more than 5,000 subordinates of Juhu monk surrendered. Monk Hu is usually stubborn and often beats and scolds his subordinates, which is the disaster.

Soon, Gao Renhou burned the camp and let the surrendered volunteers walk in front of them with flags, just like when Shuangliu set out. Arriving in Xinjin, most of the volunteers in the 13 camps set up by Han Qiu came out to surrender. Han Qiu jumped into the deep trench, and Tang Bing hooked him up. Han Qiu was dead, and Tang Bing cut off Han Qiu's head and gave it to Gao Renhou.

The generals of the Tang army wanted to burn down the camp, but were stopped by Gao Renhou. Gao Renhou ordered his subordinates to transport the heavy grain and grass out first, and then burn the camp.

Gao Renhou released the two-flow and surrendered volunteers back and reunited them with their families, while the volunteers who surrendered Xinjin walked in front with the flag and said to them, "If you enter the territory of Qiongzhou, you can also let you go back."

Rovzi set up nine camps in Yangong. His subordinates saw the fire of Xinjin the night before and could not sleep at night. When Xinjin's surrendered people rushed here, Luo Fuzi still fled to the stockade, and most of his subordinates surrendered to the Tang army.

Rovezi fled to the camp of Qineng. Qineng and Rovzi rode a war horse to inspect the camp. After returning to the big tent, Qoneng said, "Tomorrow morning, you and I will lead all the elite soldiers and horses to fight to the death with Gao Renhou!"

Gao Renhou led the Tang army to approach overnight. The next morning, Qianneng and Luo Fuzi only left more than 1,000 people to guard the village, leaving Zhang Rong to guard it, and the remaining 10,000 soldiers and horses all went straight to Gao Renhou's camp.

Gao Renhou, Mo Kuangshi and Bai Wenxian quickly organized troops and horses to fight, and the two sides began a war.

In the fierce battle, Qian was able to cut Mo Kuang under the horse with a golden back to cut the mountain knife; Rovzi waved the ice cold light knife and cut Bai Wenxian under the horse with a knife.

However, the number of the Tang army was obviously superior. Gao Renhou saw that Jian could rush left and right. If he entered no man's land, it was rumored that the Tang army's bow and crossbowmen fired randomly. Poor brave people died under random arrows.

Rofuzi was heartbroken when he saw that he could be killed by an arrow. A cold light knife was directly involved in the Tang array. He happened to meet the sword. When Luofuzi saw that he was a rebel traitor, he couldn't help burning with anger. He shouted, raised his hand and cut off half of the sword's head.

Gao Renhou ordered the Tang army to surround the remaining Rebels and began a crazy massacre. Rovezi and the remaining hundreds of nominal soldiers fought until the end, and all of them were killed.

Gao Renhou then ordered the Tang army to attack the village. Seeing that the general situation had gone, Zhang Rong drew his sword and committed suicide, and the vigorous uprising failed.

After Gao Renhou suppressed the Yaneng Uprising, he took the troops back to Chengdu. Chen Jingxuan ordered the heads of the five people, including Tianneng, Luo Hunqing, Han Qiu, Luo Fuzi and Zhang Rong, and nailed the Hu monk in the west of the city. Seven days later, he was executed by the Hu monk Ling Chi.

Zhuang Mengdie, the commander of Xia Road, was defeated by Han Xiusheng and Qu Xing, and retreated to Zhongzhou to defend. Hu Honglue, the support envoy, also failed to fight with the Rebel Army. In this way, the tributes around Jiang and Huai were intercepted by the rebels, and the hundreds of officials in the imperial court had no salary. The roads around Yun'an are blocked, and the people lack salt. So Chen Jingxuan ordered Gao Renhou to lead 30,000 horses to fight against Han Xiusheng and Qu Xing.

Zhuang Mengdie fought fiercely with Han Xiusheng and Qu Xing, and failed again. Zhuang Mengdie's defeated soldiers fled one after another, and Zhuang Mengdie comforted and persuaded them, but they could not stop them.

These deserters met Gao Renhou on the road and were shouted angrily by Gao Renhou, and the deserters immediately stopped; Gao Renhou killed a Du Yuhou and ordered the rectification of the team again.

After Gao Renhou found the local bully and asked them about the mountain and river paths in this area and the situation of Han Xiusheng and Qu Xing from the camp, the bullies hated the rebels to the bone and told Gao Renhou.

After asking clearly, Gao Renhou said to his subordinates, "The elite people and horses of the thieves are on the ship, and let those old and weak people guard the camp, and the heavy food are in the camp. This is what people say that they attach importance to attack and despise defense, and they will definitely fail!"

Gao Renhou then arranged an army on the surface of the river and set up a position to cross the river to attack. The rebels on the ship prepared for defense day and night. Han Xiusheng and Qu Xing sent troops to challenge. Gao Renhou held on and did not fight, but secretly sent 3,000 Tang soldiers with weapons and stalks on their shoulders. They went from a remote path to attack the camp of the Rebel army at night and set them on fire.

Han Xiusheng and Qu Xing saw this situation and immediately sent people back to the camp to rescue. It was too late. The heavy food of the rebels were destroyed, and the hearts of the righteous soldiers were shaken. Gao Renhou also recruited people who were good at swimming to chisel down the boats of the Rebels and sink them one after another. The Rebels were tired of running, panicked, and unable to rescue each other. Gao Renhou sent troops to intercept the Rebels on the traffic arteries and surrender. Some of the volunteers were lured by the Tang soldiers.

Seeing that the morale of Han Xiusheng and Qu Xingcong was low, Gao Renhou ordered to launch an attack on the volunteer camp. Han Xiusheng and Qu Xingcong led troops to fight fiercely with the Tang army. In the fierce battle, Zhuang Mengdie was killed by a volunteer stone. After dozens of rounds of fighting with Hu Honglue, they fell off the horse, pulled both of them, and rolled down the cliff and died.

Han Xiusheng led his own soldiers to the end and was captured. Tang Bing tied Han Xiusheng and untied it in front of Gao Renhou.

Gao Renhou sneered and said, "Why did you rebel?"

Han Xiusheng replied awe-inspiringly: "Since the death of Emperor Xuanzong, there has been no justice in the world. The ties that maintain the Tang Dynasty have been relaxed, and the court law has been abandoned. Is it just me, Han Xiusheng, who is plotting today? The defeated thief, I am already the meat on the table, let you cook and chop it into meat sauce!"

Gao Renhou couldn't help feeling sad after hearing this and ordered Han Xiusheng to wear torture tools after a good meal. Soon, Gao Renhou presented Han Xiusheng to Li Yong, Tang Xizong of Chengdu, and Han Xiusheng was killed.

Huang Chao, the emperor of Daqi, sighed after learning about the failure of the uprising of Yanneng and Han Xiusheng in Chang'an: "The uprising launched by these two heroes is very good, but unfortunately he did not contact Daqi in time, and a series of strategic mistakes led to a tragic defeat. Now that Chang'an's grain and fodder are in urgent need, Li Tang's all parties are stepping up the deployment of troops to Chang'an and Luoyang. If Daqi loses the next round of battle, it will be dangerous!"

If you want to know what's going on, let's take a look at the next chapter.
