Shizhou official hall, the generals will be separated on both sides, Di Qing after the case. A pair of sharp eyes glanced at everyone, and said in a deep voice: "The party commander Yinzhou abandoned the city and fled, and after saving the party army in Mida Cave, they fled into the desert together. The party members in the desert are nothing more than An Qingze and Huang Yangping, who live as nomads. The rebellion of the party in that year was a comeback from Jinze and other places after the relocation and deception and booby-trapping Cao Guangshi. It is this party member who must not be underestimated! Today, the army is here, and the party members should be completely wiped out, so that the court will not have any worries! ”

The generals sang a promise with their hands crossed.

Di Qing said: "I want to use an army of 100,000 people to go north to Anqingze and Huang Yangping to exterminate the party members." I brought 50,000 soldiers and went north from Shizhou to fight the thieves. Zhang Yu led 30,000 troops, starting from Xiazhou from the left road, passing through Wangting Town, and blocking the road to the west. Yang Sui led 20,000 troops to the north along the Mingtang River to block the road for the party members to go east. Three ways together, meet in Huangyangping! ”

Zhang Yu and Yang Sui went out together, and they took the order.

Di Qing's eyes swept over the generals, and said in a deep voice: "The party has been destroyed, and the people under Hengshan are all people of the court, and they must not be harassed." The armies successively gathered in Xiazhou and Shizhou to wait for military orders. The occupied city was handed over to the soldiers and horses of Huanqing Road and Yanyan Road. If anyone robs the people, they will be severely punished according to the law! Since passing through Youzhou, the resistance of the party members has become more and more resolute, and we must take it as a warning! ”

The generals sang a promise with their hands. Jiao Yong listened, and everything was relieved. Although Di Qing's words were harsh, another meaning was that the past was not to blame. and he that robs the people is considered to have gained.

After giving the order, Di Qing said again: "Xiazhou and Shizhou are too far away from the Zhenrong army, the Baode army has a rugged mountain road here, and Yanzhou has to cross the Hengshan Mountain, which is inconvenient to transport. These days, there is not enough food and grass, and the armies are patient. After destroying the remnants of the party, he went south to Yanzhou and took the train back to Beijing. The troops who stayed in Xiazhou and Shizhou were tightly guarded by the barracks, and they were not allowed to go out unless they had a military order! ”

The generals said yes, and the atmosphere was not as good as just now. It seems that the continuous rebellion in the rear a few days ago made Di Qing very annoyed. As soon as the army was concentrated, it began to be managed in a closed manner, and the army was directly locked up in the barracks. Now that Liu Chang is in Shizhou, it is difficult to find an excuse for the looting of the army again.

After the order, Di Qing ordered the generals to leave, leaving Zhang Yu and Yang Sui alone.

Ordering the two generals to sit down, Di Qing said: "The remnants of the party are 20,000, plus the households of An Qingze and Huang Yangping, and thousands of soldiers can be gathered." We count 30,000 people, and 100,000 people will win all of them if they hit one with three strikes! There is no city here, and it is purely a field war with the party. In addition to light artillery, it was not necessary to carry the rest of the guns. Bring more cavalry, don't let the party run away, we can't catch up. ”

Zhang Yudao: "The remnants of the party, the will to fight against the imperial court is extremely suspicious. They fled to Huangyangping, but they were afraid that the idea of fighting would be that after our army withdrew, they would come out again to make trouble. The army went north, and they were afraid that they would not think of it. ”

Yang Sui said: "Don't underestimate the party members. Following the relocation of the rebellion, Cao Guang attacked Jinze and obtained his wife and mother, and this area was all owned by the imperial court. As a result, he moved and surrendered, killed Cao Guangshi, and the party members were difficult to control from then on. The current party deserters may not have such thoughts. ”

Di Qing nodded: "I am afraid that there will be troubles, so I must dispatch a large army to completely exterminate the party members." Since the founding of the country, the imperial court has mostly appeased the party members, and they have been moved around, which eventually became a major disaster. This time, the imperial court made a painful decision, the army came north, and there could be no hidden dangers! ”

Zhang Yu was silent for a while and said, "If the party members resolutely refuse to surrender, what should they do?" ”

Di Qing said in a deep voice: "Kill!" These party members would rather abandon the big city of Yinzhou and run into the desert, they are determined to oppose the imperial court! If you don't kill them, what do you keep them for! In this area, most of the people are cultivating the fields, and as long as the imperial court is lightly taxed, they will not rebel. The party members in the desert are different, they are originally grazing cattle and sheep, and once the court can't control it, they will gather people to make trouble. This heavy punishment can ensure peace for decades to come! ”

Zhang Yu and Yang Sui crossed their hands together and sang loudly.

Di Qing said: "We went out of the Zhenrong army, attacked all the way, broke the party in more than a dozen states, and destroyed hundreds of thousands of enemies. Speaking of which, this military feat is rare in the imperial court. It is even more rare to defeat the party. It's just that, in addition to us, there is also Captain Han Tailai from the east, and compared with their army, our combat exploits are a little bleak. In addition, after entering Hengshan recently, the troops were divided into different parts, and the good and bad generals were uneven, which caused many incidents. Although the imperial court did not blame, it was still dissatisfied when I thought about it. Liu Chang is here, and he will definitely watch us finish the fight, so he has no intention of supervising the army. ”

Zhang Yu was taken aback: "What does the captain mean, is Liu Zhihe spying on our army?" ”

Di Qing shook his head: "It can't be said to be surveillance, but in addition to rewarding the army, Liu Chang must also observe the discipline of our army." Jiao Yong slaughtered Longzhou, as well as the chaos of many walled cities, where are so many party members in chaos! But the army is outside, and they can't investigate it in detail, so they can only do it. Not now, when Liu Chang was in charge of Shizhou, if this kind of thing happened again, the court would be furious. It was a large army that entered the barracks of the two states and was not allowed to go out. You are all people I can trust, and this time you must strictly restrain your subordinates, and you must not harass the people on the road. ”

Yang Sui said: "Obey the decree of Taiwei Jun!" However, when you engage the enemy, you don't have to be bound by this anymore, right? ”

Di Qing said: "No need. The last remaining party members are determined to rebel against the court to the end, and they must be severely punished! In this attack, unless the party members take the initiative to surrender, they will all be killed! ”

Zhang Yu said: "If you start killing, I'm afraid that the imperial court will-"

Di Qing waved his hand: "Don't worry about the imperial court. What the hell are we doing, the court has already decided, and there is no need to think about it. In this war, many soldiers did not get many military merits, and although the imperial court said that they were rewarded again, the soldiers were always dissatisfied. In the final battle, then let go of their hands and let them fight to the death with the party members. Gaining military merits will be of great benefit to the future. ”

Zhang Yu and Yang Sui glanced at each other, and they both felt that Di Qing seemed to be unhappy in his chest, venting in the last battle.

Of course, Di Qing was not satisfied. Originally, attacking the party, according to the arrangement, his own department was the main force of course. In the end, the ghost made the god worse, and the biggest credit was robbed by Han Qi. Xingxing Gorge to Xingqing Mansion, thousands of miles away, Han Qi was invincible, and he went straight to Xingqing Mansion without a big war. On the contrary, he ran into Lingzhou Jiancheng and fought extremely hard. In the end, everything was fine when he attacked Hengshan, but some of his subordinates couldn't control it, robbed the people, and let the court send Liu Changlai. The military merits were discounted, and the military discipline also made the court dissatisfied, and Di Qing was furious.

Without Han Qi's subordinates to make comparisons, Di Qing's military exploits are beyond doubt. The extermination of the party is not much different from Du Zhongxiao's exploits. But with Han Qi's department there, Di Qing's merits were greatly reduced. In the end, his generals plundered the army, which made him lose face. Although he didn't say it, he felt extremely worn. There is no way, except for those who have solid evidence, there is no way to control the generals sent out.

At this time, Di Qing was finally able to understand the purpose of Du Zhongxiao's military system. No matter how strong a person's ability is, he can manage everything, and he can only rely on the system. But relying on the system is indeed not what Di Qing is good at. As the war drew to a close, Di Qing felt lost and didn't know where his future path was. A general like himself is no longer what the imperial court needs.
