Chapter 395 Hate to be a gopher

At dawn, the battle was basically over; the end of a war involving tens of thousands of people was a little hasty, and the officers and soldiers did not even exert much effort, and the thief soldiers disappeared, because more and more people defected, and the rest were scattered as birds and beasts, and there was no one to fight.

Ironically, Yang Hu himself ordered the closure of the gate, which was originally to prevent officers and soldiers from breaking into the gate, but now he lifted stones and smashed his feet. As a result, although he escaped from the battle, he could not leave the city and could only hide in the city.

Song Nan did not need to worry that they would escape. He only ordered to immediately remove the mud sandbags in the gate of the north gate, so that the army outside the city could enter the city smoothly. At the same time, the gate and city wall were strictly sealed, so that Yang Hu, Qi Yanming and other remnant soldiers would not have the opportunity to escape from the city.

The army spent two hours cleaning the battlefield. More than 2,000 officers and soldiers were killed and injured, and more than 5,000 thieves were killed and injured. More than 2,000 thieves were registered after being disarmed and distributed entanglement for them to return to their hometown.

Thousands of escaped thieves were found in the city. They did not surrender in time. Now they are prisoners, but in fact, they are still ordinary people, but what Song Nan said cannot be changed. Since they are obsessed with it, they have to pay the price.

These people will be detained for the time being. After the rectification is completed, they will be escorted to the capital for disposal. Some of them will be beheaded, some will be assigned to the border town, and some will become lifelong slaves. This is the price of the rebellion.

Qi Yanming's body was also found at the head of the West City. He is one of the important leaders of the thief soldiers. Liu Liu Qi is the second commander of heaven and earth, and Yang Hu, Zhao Yu, Liu Hui, Qi Yanming and Xing Tiger are the five tigers sealed by Liu Liu Liu. Qi Yanming will be killed, and his head will also be sent to the capital for credit.

However, Yang Hu seemed to have disappeared, and there was no trace of the private houses in the city. Li Daniu, who was in charge of the search, scolded his mother and sent more than 2,000 people into dozens of teams in the city. As a result, he found something strange in a small forest in the southeast corner of Gozhou.

Thousands of people secretly surrounded a small forest in the southwest corner. Song Nan came when he heard the news. Li Daniu pulled Song Nan and pointed to a field by the forest and said, "Brother, look at it."

Song Nan stared at the earth ridge with wide eyes. There was nothing for a long time. Just as he was about to ask, he saw a head on the ridge, a black face looking around warily, and then dumped a basket of soil into the depression under the ridge.

Song Nan whispered in astonishment, "What is this guy doing?"

Li Daniel was very happy and whispered, "We have been watching you for a long time when you come. These guys are holed in the local mice."

Song Nan almost laughed and sprayed: "Do you hit...hole? Is it possible that they plan to drill out of the city by drilling holes? This ambition is not small."

Li Daniu squeezed his eyes and said, "Should they wait for a few days to catch them or now?"

Song Nan rolled his eyes and said, "How can there be time to wait? The army will be pulled out immediately and pull the goods out. This time, I will give you a good job. Take Qi Yanming's head and escort the prisoners and Yang Hu to the city to ask for credit. This time you can show your face."

Li Daniu was overjoyed and stood up with soldiers to surround him. He saw that the barren grass under the pier had been dug a big hole in it, and a lot of loess had piled up in the depression beside him. Obviously, Yang Hu had been hiding here to dig a hole since the early morning.

"Hey, come out, don't dig." Li Daniu stamped a few feet above the mouth of the cave, and there was a sound from the cave, which obviously shocked the people in the cave.

"Come out, don't hide. I really plan to hide in it for the rest of my life." Seeing that there was nothing inside, Li Daniel was anxious.

After a long silence, Li Daniu got angry and waved to the soldier and said, "On fire, the way to deal with the ground mouse is very simple. Smoke will come out."

After the dead grass was ignited, several soldiers pouted and blew smoke in. Soon there was a dull cough from the cave. Soon after, someone shouted, "Don't blow, cough... Let's come out."

The soldiers moved the fire and slowly drilled out of the hole. One, two or three... Like a trick, seven or eight people were drilled out in a while. No wonder the hole was dug so fast, and it turned out that there were a lot of people.

These guys are all gray-headed, their faces are full of loess, and they can't see who is who, and they don't look like each other.

Li Daniu said anxiously, "Where's Yang Hu? Get it out by yourself."

Several guys were silent. Li Daniu asked several times, but no one recognized himself. Song Nan laughed and said, "This great hero who works for heaven is willing to drill a gopher. How can you expect him to admit it? After cutting off all his head, there is always one of Yang Hu's head. We can't recognize him. Those prisoners always know him. "

Li Daniu laughed and said, "That's right. Come on, hold them down and I'll cut my head."

Seven or eight thief soldiers were shocked and almost pointed to an unclear thief soldier and said in unison, "He is Yang Hu."

Song Nan laughed, Yang Hu cursed repeatedly, and stepped forward and said proudly, "I am, if I fall into your hands, you have to kill me."

Song Nan laughed and said, "Yang Hu, what's wrong with you? A few hours ago, you still had a beard. How did you become an eunuch in the blink of an eye? Unexpectedly, you didn't know the opposite side.

Yang Hu blushed with shame. In order to escape for his life, he shaved off his beard with a knife and changed from a powerful beard to a small white face. With several cronies, he fled to the fields in the southeast of the city, ready to dig a hole to hide for a few days.

He did not intend to dig out of the city, and he also knew that it was impossible. He knew that the army in the city would be pulled out within a few days. As long as he survived the search and arrest in these days, as soon as the army left, he could come out and quietly escaped, but unexpectedly, he was still found.

Song Nan's face was solemn and said coldly, "Tie it up and take it away."

Yang Hu shouted, "Please give me a good time and give me a whole body."

Song Nan sneered and said, "I'm afraid it won't come true. After the interrogation in Beijing, I guess you are either a broken car or Ling Chi, or you may be cut in half. In short, you must have died not so smoothly."

Yang Hu scolded, "Dog thief, I won't spare you if you die."

Song Nan slapped her in the face and scolded: "This is reserved to talk to the tens of millions of people who were killed by you under the spring, and to the women killed by you anti-thieves * that you can escape from the evil spirits under the spring and come back to revenge me; if there is such a day, I will sit and wait for you to come."

Song Nan left hundreds of brocade guards to maintain public security in the city, waiting for the court to send officials to receive Gunzhou City. At the same time, he immediately ordered Li Daniu to lead 2,000 soldiers and horses to escort the prisoners and the bandit leader Yang Hu to Beijing to ask for credit.

The army was renovated for one day and set out to the south in the afternoon of the next day. The battle on the south was in full swing. Liu's six armies were launching a fierce attack in the area of Feiyundu. The situation was critical and they had to quickly relieve the siege of Yundu.

A few days later, the capital received the good news of the victory of Gunzhou. Zhengde was overjoyed. Song Nan was praised at the court meeting, and all the officials were also relieved. Sure enough, Song Nan took extraordinary action and annihilated 20,000 thieves in the first battle, with few casualties. Sure enough, he did not brag.

Liu Jin forced a happy smile and was extremely depressed. Although the victory of the imperial army was also what they expected, this credit was very different from what Song Nan built. He and Song Nan have become deadly enemies, and Song Nan's gain is his failure. Song Nan forcibly forced the court to abolish several of his reform strategies before going on the expedition, that is If you don't quickly find a way to find your face in public and wait for Song Nangong to return to Beijing, it will be too late.

When Liu Jin racked his brains to prepare for a countermeasure, Song Nan's 37,000 troops had swept all the way to recover Jining and approached Pei County on the north bank of the Yellow River.

......

At the flying cloud ferry of the Yellow River 60 miles south of Pei County, Liu Muran stood on the bank and looked at the surging Yellow River without saying a word. Opposite was the officers and soldiers gathered in Xuzhou. Although he had hundreds of ships in his hand, after several attempts, he could not break through the ferry guarded by the officers and soldiers. If he had enough time, Liu Liu is completely sure that he can take Feiyundu and lead the army south of the Yellow River.

However, the news of the fall of Gozhou disrupted his plan. He wanted to have ten days to prepare more ships, which could invest tens of thousands of troops to cross the river at one time, and cross the river in seven or eight places downstream at the same time, which can break the blockade of officers and soldiers on the other side. However, after the fall of Gozhou, all this will become impossible, because The officers and soldiers of the team are trying their best to copy their own back road. Once they are entangled by a large number of officers and soldiers, the officers and soldiers south of the Yellow River will cross the river to reinforce, and their lives will be lost on the north bank of the Yellow River.

"Tianshuai, this fool Yang Hu lost Gongzhou in two days. We can't stay here for a long time. Pei County is not enough to defend it at all. Tianshuai should make a decision early." Liu Hui, one of the five tiger generals beside him, said anxiously.

Liu Liu's mouth was grinning, and the scar on his face looked more horrible. He said slowly, "Brother Liu, don't say that Yang Hu. He has done his best."

Liu Hui hurriedly said, "What Tianshuai taught me is that the main general of the officers and soldiers this time is not the rice bucket of the former leader. Our combat effectiveness is much worse than them, and our weapons and armor are much worse, which is really difficult to resist."

Liu Liu shook his head and said, "This is not the main reason. The reason is that we are too rampant to say something unpleasant to ourselves. We have done a lot of things that harm the people along the way, and I'm afraid we have lost the hearts of the people."

Liu Hui said in consteration, "Tianshuai, in this case, from today on, we will treat the people better and appease the people. After all, the people are still towards us from the bottom of their hearts. Aren't we also rebelling under the banner of robbing the rich and helping the poor for heaven?"

Liu Liu suddenly trembled and laughed, squinting at Liu Hui and said, "Do you want to rob the rich to help the poor? Do you also believe it? Is it for others that we rebel with our heads? Humph, it's enough for me to dominate for a while. No matter what the people's hearts are, our brothers just want to sleep with women all over the world and eat a big scale of wine to share the money. If anyone is not convinced, he will cut off their heads and do something for heaven? Why do you force yourself to rob the rich and help the poor? These people are a group of grass chickens, all of whom are skinned and cramped! Look at them, the government is bullying them, and we are also bullying them. They are simply a group of soft bones, and their hearts are useless!"

Liu Liu's voice was excited, and the foam splashed on Liu Hui's face. Liu Hui did not dare to reach out and wipe it. When Liu Liu took a breath, she quickly interrupted, "Tian Shuai Mingjian, please make it clear. What should we do now?"

Liu Liu's face was gloomy and gritted his teeth and said, "Naturally, there is a way to pass the order down, give up Feiyundu and withdraw troops to the north."

"To the north?" Liu Hui said, "Didn't you bump into the officers and soldiers?"

Liu Liu said, "Millions of soldiers can be hidden in Weishan Lake. Can't tens of thousands of people hide in our area?"

Liu Hui's eyes lit up and suddenly realized.
