Chapter 612: The Falling Star

Qianqian, the fastest update of the latest chapter of Han Tianzi!

Liu Xiu didn't take the rebels in Mi County seriously, and Liu Zhi didn't take the rebels in Mi County seriously either. The strength of the rebels in Mi County is only about 2,000 people in total, Liu Zhi set off from Yuncheng just after he was defeated, leading 5,000 troops, and they are all elite soldiers who have been on the battlefield for a long time, and the combat strength of the two sides is very different, and there seems to be no suspense in this battle, with Liu Zhi's

Military talent, pacifying the rebels in Mi County, is simply an easy thing to do.

After Liu Zhi led the army to Mi County, the battle was indeed very smooth, and the rebels in Mi County were defeated by Liu Zhi's army and were powerless. A total of more than 2,000 rebels, outside the secret city, were annihilated by Liu Zhijun's more than 1,000 people.

The remaining rebels, less than a thousand, fled into the city in a hurry.

Liu Zhi was also not polite, and ordered a strong siege of the secret city. In the face of the fierce offensive of the Han army, the rebels could not resist it at all, the city defense was torn apart, and the rebels ran into the city in a hurry. Liu Zhi led his army into the city and pursued the fleeing rebels.

At this point in the war, the overall situation has been decided, and Liu Zhi's nerves have also relaxed.

He led his subordinates to chase and kill a group of rebels of more than 100 people and came to Datong Street in Micheng. This is one of the main streets of the city, and it is lined with shops, but it is now closed.

When Liu Zhi chased the enemy army to the central section of Datong Street, dozens of black-clothed people stood up on the roofs of the shops on both sides of the street, and they were holding crossbows in their hands.

After these black-clothed men appeared, without saying a word, all the crossbows were aimed at Liu Zhi, who was in the lead.

Immediately afterwards, dozens of crossbows were fired in unison, and more than a hundred crossbow arrows were concentrated on Liu Zhi.

No matter how strong Liu Zhi's martial arts were, he couldn't resist the powerful shooting of so many crossbow arrows at close range. Liu Zhi realized that it was not good, and tried his best to wield a big knife to block the arrows shot around.

But he can't block up and down, and he can't block left and right. After only one round of arrows, Liu Zhi and the war horse under his crotch fell to the ground, and the human body and the war horse's body were full of arrows.

The Han soldiers present were frightened, and a group of people rushed to rescue Liu Zhi, while the other group went to attack the ambush soldiers on the roof.

When people carried Liu Zhi off the battlefield, Liu Zhi was already dead, and in the first aid of the medical officers, Liu Zhi didn't even say a last word, and he died of anger.

Liu Zhi is one of Liu Xiu's great contributors to the pacification of Hebei, he followed Liu Xiu, fought in the south and the north, and his achievements were brilliant, in addition, Liu Xiu and the marriage of Liu Yang, the king of Zhending, Liu Zhi also played a decisive role. At the beginning, it was Liu Zhi who went to Zhending alone, successfully persuaded Liu Yang, and facilitated the marriage between Liu Xiu and Guo Shengtong, so that Liu Yang, who was wavering at the time, unswervingly stood on Liu Xiu's side, and also provided Liu Xiu with 100,000 Zhending troops

, laying a solid foundation for the growth of Liu Xiu's power.

These exploits also made Liu Zhi among the twenty-eight generals of Yuntai. Under Liu Xiu's command, there are many talents, strange people, countless people, and the twenty-eight generals of Yuntai who have been screened out from so many capable people are all dragons and phoenixes among people, but it is a pity that Liu Zhi finally died in the chaos in Mi County, which can be described as so

Capsized in the gutter.

This year was the second year of Jianwu, and in the twenty-sixth year of AD, Liu Zhi became the earliest to die among the twenty-eight generals of Yuntai.

Although Liu Zhi died, the rebels in Mi County were also successfully quelled by the Han army. Liu Zhi's soldiers transported Liu Zhi's body back to Luoyang.

When Liu Xiu heard the news of Liu Zhi's death, he didn't come back to his senses for a long time.

He sat on the couch in a daze, motionless for a long time. Zhang Kun, who reported the news, bowed down and said cautiously: "Your Majesty, people can't be resurrected after death, please mourn Your Majesty!" ”

"Get out!" Liu Xiu said without raising his head.

"Your Majesty......"

"I'll let you out!" Liu Xiu glared at Zhang Kun angrily. Zhang Kun shrank his neck in fright, didn't dare to say a word more, and quickly exited the hall. After Zhang Kun left, Liu Xiu's eyes were wet and red.

Since Liu Xiu arrived in Hebei, although there have been countless battles, and the generals under his command have also been injured and defeated in battles, they have really never lost the generals, and Liu Zhi's death is a big blow to Liu Xiu.

He was the one who sent Liu Zhi to Mi County to quell the rebellion, if he had sent others to quell the rebellion at that time, would there not have been such a result? Liu Xiu was both saddened and blamed for Liu Zhi's death.

Originally, Liu Xiu thought that Liu Zhi's death was just an accident, but when Liu Zhi's body was transported to Luoyang and saw the crossbow arrows taken from Liu Zhi's body, Liu Xiu realized that the rebellion in Mi County was by no means simple.

He summoned Guangluxun Fu Di, put the crossbow arrow that shot Liu Zhi in front of Fu Di, and asked, "Zhiwen, look at these crossbow arrows, are they familiar?" ”

Fu Di picked up a crossbow arrow, looked at it closely, his face suddenly changed, and blurted out: "It's Mosleeve Hall!" ”

Liu Xiu narrowed his eyes and said, "Sure enough, it's the repeater used by the Ink Sleeve Hall!" ”

After a pause, he said: "Boxian was killed by this kind of crossbow arrow, and the person who attacked Boxian must have come from Mosleeve Hall, so the rebellion in Mixian County must be related to Liu Yong." Fu Di nodded and said: "What Your Majesty said is extremely true, the Ink Sleeve Hall has already taken refuge under Liu Yong's command, since the rebellion of the Mixian County soldiers is involved in the Ink Sleeve Hall, then this matter must be inseparable from Liu Yong!" Weichen thought that the county soldiers of Mi County

Rebellion, nine times out of ten, it was provoked by Liu Yong! ”

Liu Xiu took a deep breath, he had already sent Gai Yan to command an army of 50,000 to garrison Kaifeng, beware of Liu Yong taking advantage of the situation. As a result, Liu Yong still put his hand into Henan and quietly arranged the people of the Ink Sleeve Hall in Mi County, in other words, he sent Liu Zhi to quell the chaos, and he would suffer from the black hand of the Ink Sleeve Hall, and he would also suffer from the black hand of the Ink Sleeve Hall if he replaced someone else to quell the chaos. Irrespective of

Whoever is sent there may not end up better than Liu Zhi.

Thinking of this, Liu Xiu slapped the table case fiercely and said angrily: "Liu Yong should be punished!" ”

Fu Di lowered his head and didn't dare to answer. Liu Xiu took a deep breath and tried his best to calm down his emotions, he called, "Zhang Kun! ”

"The slave is here!" Zhang Kun hurriedly walked into the main hall and bowed down.

"Summoning Feiyan to meet me!"

"Yes! Your Majesty! Zhang Kun agreed and walked out quickly.

After a short time, Hua Feiyan hurriedly walked in from outside, she first looked at Fu Di, and then saluted Liu Xiufu, and said, "Your Majesty!" ”

Liu Xiu waved his hand and said: "Mi County is in turmoil, Bo Xian died, presumably Feiyan has already heard about it, right?" ”

Hua Feiyan bowed his head and said, "Please also ask Your Majesty to mourn." ”

Liu Xiu said: "We must investigate thoroughly! No matter how many subordinates Liu Yong has placed in Henan, the two of you will find out for me, I don't want the incident in Mixian County to happen a second time. ”

Fu Di and Hua Feiyan bowed in unison and responded: "Weichen (subordinates) obey orders!" ”

Liu Xiu waved his hand, and the two of them bowed and withdrew from the main hall. When they got outside, the two looked at each other and smiled bitterly. Fu Di said: "Under Liu Yong's command, there are many people in the rivers and lakes, and it is not easy to find out the huge Henan. ”

Hua Feiyan said: "Fei Yan thinks that the Ink Sleeve Hall is the most harmful, and it is imperative that all the Ink Sleeve Hall gangs lurking in Henan be captured!" ”

Fu Yin nodded thoughtfully.

The people of the Ink Sleeve Hall, the martial arts may not be very strong, but they are all masters of hidden weapons, and the crossbows of the Ink Sleeve Hall are domineering, but there are many similar hidden weapons, these people are lurking in the shadows, waiting for the opportunity to move, and the harm is indeed immeasurable.

He asked, "Is there a good way to smoke non-smoke?" ”

Hua Feiyan said: "Feiyan doesn't know much about the Ink Sleeve Hall, if you want to find out the people of the Ink Sleeve Hall, you need a lot of help from adults!" ”

"It's not a smoke, I'll do my best!" The two talked, side by side.

Liu Zhi was killed in battle, and Liu Xiu ordered a thick burial. Liu Zhi's title was the Marquis of Changcheng during his lifetime, and after his death, the title of Marquis of Changcheng was inherited by his son Liu Xiang.

In addition, Liu Xiu also summoned Liu Zhi's younger brother Liu Xi and asked Liu Xi to take over the position of Liu Zhi's cavalry general.

Liu Xiu is indeed very interesting to the ministers under his command, after Liu Zhi's death, the official position was inherited by his younger brother, and the title was inherited by his son. Even if Liu Xi died of illness later, Liu Xiu asked Liu Zhi's cousin to continue to serve as the general of Xiaocai. In the edict to the ministers, Liu Xiu repeatedly said that they were all the founding heroes, for the Han dynasty, they had made efforts, shed blood, and made great contributions, and he had all kept it in mind

If you want to be proud, you should clean yourself and love yourself, pass on the title from generation to generation, and always be a vassal of the Han family, and always enjoy fine clothes and jade food.

That's what he said, and that's exactly what he did.

The meritorious ministers died in battle, and if they were replaced by other emperors, I am afraid that the first thing that came to mind was to take back the rights as soon as possible, Liu Xiu never did this, but did his best to take care of the loyal martyrs' families and continue to delegate power to them.

Liu Xiu's approach reassured the families of the deceased, and also made the living ministers feel more heartwarming, and they became more and more loyal to Liu Xiu.

In the next few days, Hongnong and Nanyang sent back war reports one after another. Jing Dan led his troops to defeat the Red Mei Army in Hongnong, and now he has occupied most of the towns in Hongnong, basically blocking the eastward advance of the Red Mei Army.

Compared with Hongnong's battle report, Nanyang's battle report is more interesting. Jian Rong and Wan Xuan led their troops to Wancheng, according to Liu Xiu's meaning, the two asked Nanyang Taishou Liu Duo to go out of the city to meet, but of course Liu Duo refused to go out of the city.

When Jian Rong and Wan Xuan were discussing how to storm Wancheng, Dong Xun in the city suddenly rebelled, captured Liu Ji alive, and took control of the military and political power of Wancheng in one fell swoop.

Dong Xun's rebellion was not to seek refuge in Liu Xiu, but to seek personal interests for himself. After he took control of Wancheng, he thought about establishing himself as king.

Taking advantage of the internal changes in Wancheng, Jian Rong and Wan Xuan launched an attack on Wancheng overnight. Jian Rong personally led a group of death squads, touched the city wall of Wancheng at night, and then led this group of death squads to open the city gate.

The Han army outside the city swarmed in, and Dong Xun saw that the situation was not good, so he fled in a hurry with the remnants and fled back to his hometown of Duyang.

Jian Rong and Wan Xuan captured Wancheng, in fact, it didn't take much effort, of course, thanks to Dong Xun's sudden rebellion, if there was no such a big chaos in the city, it would be so easy for the two of them to forcibly capture Wancheng.

After Dong Xun fled back to Duyang, he began to recruit troops with great fanfare, preparing to regroup and return to Wancheng.

The power of the two of them expanded rapidly and strengthened, and in addition, Qin Feng, the former minister, also caused chaos in the south of Nanyang, and the situation in Nanyang took a sharp turn for the worse.

The situation in Wancheng is tense, and Luoyang cannot sit idly by. After careful consideration, Liu Xiu finally decided to send the great Sima Wu Han to lead an army of 80,000 Han troops in Luoyang to gallop south to aid Wancheng. There were 80,000 soldiers and horses under the command of Wu Han, and there were 20,000 soldiers and horses stationed in Wancheng, totaling 100,000 people. With an army of 100,000 to pacify the rebels in Nanyang, Wu Han was very confident in this battle.
