Although Youzhou and Luoyang are far apart, the speed of the six-hundred-mile urgent official document is still quite fast, and it only took four or five days for Wei Qian to send the official document before receiving the reply.

Almost the same as everyone expected, this time to counterbalance the rebellion, Wei Qian and Wang Qi made great contributions, and were appointed by the imperial court as the governor of Youzhou and the assassin of Youzhou, and added Wei Qian as the general of the expedition to the north, and Wang Qi as the general of Duliao, Gong Zun changed the title of Yuyang Taishou, Liu Mao changed the title of Youbeiping Taishou, and the rest of the meritorious ministers were also rewarded.

Biqiu Jian was deprived of all the Juelu, because Biqiu Jian was dead, the imperial court specially ordered the body to be whipped 300, exposed for three days to show the public, and then abandoned the body in the mass grave, let the wild dogs devour it, not buried.

And within the three clans of Biqiu Jian, all of them were killed, and their cronies and henchmen were slaughtered together.

The officials of Youzhou congratulated Wei Qian one after another, and after quelling the rebellion of Biqiujian, Wei Qian was already the acting governor of the capital, presiding over the overall military and political situation of Youzhou.

As for Wang Qi, he couldn't accept everyone's congratulations at this moment, after the Youzhou rebellion was pacified, Biqiu Jian and Biqiu Dian, Biqiu Zong, and Biqiu Ao were ambushed successively, but Biqiu Xiu and Biqiu saw that the situation was not good, and they fled early and escaped from Youzhou City, so these two failed to kill.

After getting the news that Biqiu Xiu and Biqiu Chong fled westward, Wei Qian thought that the two were likely to be preparing to go west to Cao Liang who went to Bingzhou, and if the remnants of the two Biqiu families escaped, it would inevitably cause big trouble.

When he evacuated Youzhou City that day, Biqiu Xiu was quite decisive, because he had already seen the situation clearly and thought that no matter how long they delayed, they would not be able to leave if they wanted to.

Facts have proved that Biqiu Xiu's decision is quite wise, after the Youzhou army lost its mastermind, it has already become a plate of scattered sand, almost no combat effectiveness, and after the army of Liaodong entered the city, it quickly controlled the situation in the whole city, Biqiu Zong and Biqiu Ao were because of the untimely retreat, and when they found out that the situation was wrong and wanted to escape, it was too late, and they both died in the encirclement of the rebels.

After Biqiu Xiu escaped from Youzhou City, he gathered a part of the troops stationed outside the city, and the situation outside the West Gate was naturally better than that inside the city, because the city gate was blocked, the army in the west of the city did not get the news of Biqiu Jian's death, so all the soldiers and horses stayed in the corresponding military camps, each in peace.

However, Biqiu Xiu knew that the Liaodong army in the east of the city had entered the city, so the news of Biqiu Jian's death would soon spread, so he didn't dare to stay outside the west gate at all, and only gathered a part of the army, so he immediately drove west and headed in the direction of Daijun.

When Biqiuxiu fled, he didn't have time to make any preparations, so this army only carried clothes and weapons with them, not even food and grass, let alone other supplies and provisions.

Although after leaving the city, some supplies were swept up in the military camp outside the city, but for such a team of tens of thousands of people, this amount of materials is completely a drop in the bucket.

In this icy and snowy environment, without warm clothing, no food to wrap around, and no tent to camp in, it is indeed difficult to survive in the wild.

During the day, the situation may be better, but at night, the cold wind is howling, the temperature plummets, and there is no tent to protect against the cold, so many soldiers can only huddle together, huddle together to keep warm, and shiver from the cold.

Compared with the cold, what is more difficult is the shortage of grain and grass, and the army will be chaotic if there is no food, which is an eternal law, if an army cannot even guarantee the basic rations of the soldiers, then the army will quickly collapse.

Biqiu Xiu doesn't seem to have a good way, after escaping from Youzhou, the road is barren mountains and mountains, almost no people can be seen, even if you occasionally pass by a village, it is just a small mountain village with only a few dozens of households, not to mention that the people here are so poor that even if they are rich gentry and nobles, they can't meet the needs of so many people.

If the problem of food and grass for the army is not solved, it is estimated that he will not be able to merge the state, and his army will completely collapse.

"Second grandfather, how is this good?" Biqiu was furrowed and helpless.

Biqiu Xiu groaned for a moment and said, "Kill the horse!" ”

The army brought out by Biqiu Xiu this time is a mixed army of infantry and cavalry, of which the cavalry also occupies a relatively large proportion, and the war horses also need to be fed, if it is another season, the war horses can also go to the grass to eat some fresh grass, and at this moment everything in the wilderness is buried by heavy snow, not to mention the grass, even the hay is nowhere to be found.

In order to survive, Biqiu Xiu chose some war horses to kill, and after killing the horses, he finally won some rations, and reluctantly let the soldiers eat their stomachs, and persisted in the territory of Bingzhou, maybe it will usher in a turnaround.

However, at this time, the news of Biqiu Jian's death had already spread, and the spiritual pillar that maintained the entire army was gone, and the entire army fell into a state of confusion.

By the next morning, Biqiu Xiu found that many of the soldiers had frozen on the spot, and the number of soldiers who had fled was even greater, and the entire army, overnight, had been reduced by half.

Biqiu was furious and wanted to raise troops to chase those deserters, but Biqiu Xiu stretched out his hand to stop them, saying: "Chong'er, there is no need to chase, these deserters have dispersed, even if they chase back, it is useless." ”

Biqiu said incomprehensibly: "Grandpa has always been strict in governing the army, and those who flee in battle will be beheaded, so that the military discipline can be strict, and now these deserters will not be punished, I am afraid that more and more people will escape." ”

Biqiu Xiu sighed: "Everyone has their own ambitions, why do you need to be reluctant, in the current situation, what is the point of talking about military discipline?" What's more, it takes time to pursue deserters, and the pursuers of Wang Ji and others must be imminent, so let's think about how to speed up and go to Bingzhou. ”

Biqiu Xiu didn't say that he didn't want to deal with the deserters, it was true that he was a little powerless, and the top priority now was how to get rid of the pursuit of the rebels and rush to the state as soon as possible, which is the most important thing for them now.
