Chapter five hundred and eighty first: Reunion
"Haha, Dabiao, I didn't expect you to arrive so soon!"
In the early morning of the 16th day of the twelfth lunar month, in Yangma City outside Hailongdun, they saw Hu Dabiao leading the Shenshu camp from Yamen Pass and Cao Xibin and other generals from Yongning. Wang Bing, who had been chasing here from Yonganyi all night, couldn't help but feel happy.
Laughed loudly.
It only took half a month since the official launch of troops in Bozhou on the first day of the twelfth lunar month. In addition to Tongyuanzhen Road, four armies of the Eighth Route Army had already joined forces outside Hailongdun. After the remaining three armies joined forces, the final battle could be carried out.
The battle of 'Batu' begins.
In fact, although the terrain of Hailongdun is dangerous, with the combat power of Yulinwei and Jingying, Wang Bing is confident that he can win it quickly even if only four groups join forces here.
However, for this last battle, Wang Bing finally planned to wait for all the armies to arrive before proceeding. After all, he had already declared that he would celebrate the New Year with the generals at Hailongdou. And more importantly, 'The actor
'Not all are here yet!
"How fast? After we joined forces with General Li at Erlangba, we hurried and took our time. Didn't we still fall behind you?"
Hearing Wang Bing's praise, Hu Dabiao couldn't help but look depressed.
Speaking of which, it was really possible that Hu Dabiao and Cao Xibin could reach the outskirts of Hailongdun before Wang Bing.
However, because of Wang Bing's "Three Execution Orders" and the fact that the emperor, Little Fatty, had long issued an edict not to accept prisoners, Tao Hong, An, and Luo Village, who were summoned by Wu Guang and Cao Xibin in the original history, were also surrendered this time.
And was beaten down. That's why Wang Bing was a little slower.
"It's okay, aren't there Xianzong and the others who will be at the bottom for you? Hahahaha!"
Looking at Hu Dabiao with a depressed look on his face, Wang Bing couldn't help but start teasing him with a joking expression.
…
"The last general Zhu Heling, An Jiangchen, please see the General Manager!"
On the seventeenth day of the twelfth lunar month, following the two groups of Hu Dabiao and Cao Xibin, Zhu Heling, who was ordered by Wang Bing to be controlled by Qi Xianzong, and Shuixi'an Jiangchen, arrived outside Hailongtun before Qi Xianzong.
After being ordered by Wang Bing that day, Qi Xianzong sent people to the west of Shuishui to question him. An Jiangchen, who had no rebellious intentions, did not dare to neglect, so he immediately led the Shuixi soldiers to cross the river. Then he conquered Xinguan, Dahongguan, Heishuiguan, etc.
Pass, and then conquered Luomeng Pass.
After conquering Lomeng Pass and garrisoning troops in the paddy fields, he circled to the north of Wujiang Pass and cut off the retreat route of the rebels deployed along the Wujiang River by Yang Yinglong.
Then he and Zhu Heling attacked from both sides and defeated the Wujiang rebels. After retaking Laojun, Wujiang, Hedu and other passes, the two went north again to kill Yang Yinglong's hometown, Hailongdun.
However, Qi Xianzong, who was ordered by Wang Bing to control Zhenxiong, Wujiang and Shuixi tribes, and Li Fu, who was walking along the Bainisi route, were the two soldiers and horses farthest from Hailongdun among the several groups, so at this moment
But he is still on his way to Hailongdun.
In fact, the reason why Qi Xianzong and Li Fu have not yet reached Hailongdun to join the army is not only because of the distance, but the most important point is because they are not like An Jiangchen and He.
No matter how old you are, just defeat the enemy and get through.
Whether it was Wang Bing's "Three Killing Order" or Little Fatty's order not to accept prisoners, the two of them were very strict in executing it. Along the way, the army led by the two of them had to spend time building the capital after each battle.
, so the speed is naturally not much faster.
However, the area in Bozhou is only so big, and Yang Yinglong was defeated, and all the rebels fled and scattered. So after waiting for another two days, the two armies of Qi Xianzong and Li Fu finally killed them.
Arrive at Hailongdun.
At this point, the Eighth Route Suppression Army, with the exception of the Wujiang First Route Army in Tongyuan Town, and the other Seven Route Army, all met outside Hailongdun in a victorious manner.
Counting it all together, from the first day of the twelfth lunar month when Wang Bing ordered the official march to Bozhou to the end of the twelfth lunar month when Qi Xianzong and Li Fu's troops arrived at Hailongdun, it only took a total of 19 days. Compared with the Eighth Route Army's two days in original history
For someone who only joined forces with Yu Hailongdun after more than a month, this speed can be said to be worlds apart.
…
"General Qi, the leader of the thieves, Yang Yinglong, sent people to ask for peace!"
On the second day after the last two armies, Qi Xianzong and Li Fu, arrived at the Horse Yangcheng outside Hailongdun, just when Wang Bing was about to order a full siege and plan to attack the last stronghold of the Bozhou rebels, Yang Yinglong sent
His men came to seek peace.
"Seek peace? Haha, bring people here!"
Hearing that Yang Yinglong actually sent people to sue for peace, Wang Bing couldn't help but smile jokingly.
"Third brother, we have all come here. Do you want to..."
Seeing that Wang Bing actually received the envoy Yang Yinglong who came to seek peace, Hu Dabiao and other generals suddenly looked over with some confusion.
You must know that they strictly followed the orders of Wang Bing and the emperor all the way here. All the envoys who came to ask for peace or surrender were beheaded by them.
"Haha, don't worry, I know what's going on!"
Wang Bing naturally knows very well what everyone is worried about.
After fighting bloody battles to bring the war to this level, the soldiers' merits need to be rewarded, their hard work needs comfort, and their hatred needs to be vented.
What's more, those innocent souls floating on the Qijiang River also need revenge and comfort. Therefore, under such circumstances, how could Wang Bing agree to Yang Yinglong's request for peace.
The reason why I agreed to meet the envoy sent by Yang Yinglong was firstly because I was curious about Yang Yinglong's peace terms under the current situation. Secondly, I naturally wanted to make some plans for the next general attack on Batun.
"The sinner Ma Zhong has met the champion prince!"
Soon, under the leadership of Shuerhaqi, a middle-aged scribe in his forties knelt down in front of Wang Bing in fear for the country.
"Ma Zhong? Haha, one of Yang Yinglong's advisers is also one of the masterminds of the Bozhou rebellion!"
Looking at the middle-aged scribe kneeling in front of him, Wang Bing couldn't help but smile coldly.
In front of the all-pervasive spies of the Ming Dynasty factory guards, Wang Bing naturally knew the ins and outs of important figures like Ma Zhong who acted as rebel advisers.
"Master Hou, the guilty minister, the guilty minister was also coerced by Thief Yang..."
Hearing that Wang Bing directly identified himself as the mastermind of the Bozhou rebellion, Ma Zhong was so frightened that he hurriedly cleared the relationship for himself, not even bothering to ask for peace for Yang Yinglong.
"Tell me, what conditions did Yang Yinglong offer you, and you actually want to make peace under such circumstances?"
However, Wang Bing paid no attention to Ma Zhong's "self-proven innocence". Instead, he changed the conversation and asked Yang Yinglong about the peace talks conditions offered by Yang Yinglong.
"Back to the Marquis, Thief Yang said that as long as the imperial court is willing to withdraw its troops, he is willing to pay five million taels of silver to the imperial court to atone for his previous sins. He will also donate 200 beautiful trees to the imperial court every year..."
Hearing Wang Bing's inquiry, Ma Zhong had no choice but to stop proving his innocence and quickly told Yang Yinglong's conditions.
It has to be said that the conditions proposed by Yang Yinglong are indeed quite 'sincere'. Not to mention that it is equivalent to the huge ransom of the imperial court's tax revenue for one year before the New Deal reform, but it is that he donates two hundred beautiful trees every year.
Xiang, if he had been replaced by a fat guy, he might have agreed.
You must know that Yang Yinglong only donated dozens of large trees and was highly rewarded by the court. And for the Ming Dynasty, which had frequent projects, such beautiful timber could not be bought with money.
But it's a pity that Yang Yinglong met Wang Bing. He was not as concerned about these things as the little fat man, so his efforts were in vain.
"Hey, that's all? What kind of conditions did I think he could offer! Go back and tell Yang Yinglong that not all sins can be redeemed with money, otherwise why would the court need laws?"
After listening to Ma Zhong's relay of Yang Yinglong's peace terms, Wang Bing sneered and waved his hand, pretending to drive Ma Zhong out.
"Master Hou, I am guilty. I was really coerced by Thief Yang. I beg you, Master Hou, for a clear warning!"
Seeing that Wang Bing was not interested in suing for peace, Ma Zhong quickly opened his mouth again to exonerate himself.
