After beheading Zhang Baiqi, defeating and surrendering the rebel soldiers, Lu Yan led the army towards the Yi clan.

When he came to the distance of Yi's City, in order not to startle the snake, Lu Yan took out his binoculars and began to observe the situation from a relatively far away place.

Through the binoculars, Lu Yan saw the tragic situation under the city wall at a glance. Those corpses had piled up to half the height of the city wall, and the entire city wall had been stained dark red by blood!

Looking from a distance, the rebel army had already begun to gradually suppress the defenders on the city wall. Lu Yan estimated that if he came half a day later, Yishi County might be declared lost.

Lu Yan couldn't help but gasp at the tragic situation of the Yi clan's siege battle.He never expected that a little Yi clan could fight so fiercely.

After observing again, Lu Yan found that at least half of the rebels were on the city wall, and the people below the city had no defense against their backs.

This was a good opportunity for a surprise attack, so Lu Yan no longer hesitated, and immediately ordered Huang Zhong to lead the Xiongnu cavalry to raid the enemy's central army, and then ordered Zhang Xiu to lead the Xiliang cavalry to attack the rebel army from the rear.Because Pound broke the back alone, he was exhausted, and his physical strength has not yet recovered, so he can only rest in the rear.

The cavalry attacked from both sides of the army, and Lu Yan immediately led all the remaining infantry, followed by the cavalry and launched a surprise attack on the rebels.

Under Yi's city, Fan Xian and Wei Gu had already given up everything, and they even came to the front line to direct the siege.

Seeing that the city was about to break down, Fan Xianweigu even had a triumphant smile on his face...

Unexpectedly, there was a sudden sound of horseshoes and shouts behind him!

"Boom!!!"

"kill!!!"

"Kill the traitor!!"

Fan Xianwei turned around abruptly, staring fixedly at the dust rising in the distance!

At this time, a scout came galloping on horseback, "General! General, run! Zhang Baiqi is dead, and the whereabouts of senior officials are unknown! Lu Yan's army is coming!"

"what?!!!"

"Even Zhang Baiqi is dead? Gao Gan is also missing?!"

After hearing the bad news, Wei Gu felt dizzy suddenly, and was about to fall off his horse immediately.

Fortunately, Fan Xian, who was standing beside him, had quick eyes and quick hands, stretched out his hand to pull Wei Gu, and said, "Brother Wei, now is not the time to pass out, it is true that we should run away quickly!"

"Ah!" Hearing this, Wei Gu regained consciousness instantly. He nodded hurriedly and said, "Run! Run!"

Zhang Baiqi died in battle, and Gao Gan's whereabouts are unknown... On the premise that the [-] Cao army led by Lu Yan came to help, even if Wei Gu and Fan Xian took the Yi clan, it would be meaningless. There is no time to reorganize the city defense.

Fan Xian, Wei Gu and others knew that the situation was over, so they made a decisive decision, directly left the soldiers who were attacking the city, and fled to the southwest with only their personal guards.

On the other side, the rebel soldiers who were desperately attacking the city were originally just mobs, and it was only with the stimulation of money that they burst out with unprecedented potential and determination.

Suddenly being attacked at this moment, the momentum and morale of this group of soldiers suddenly plummeted... and the commander ran away again, and they soon fell into chaos by themselves, led by Zhang Xiu's cavalry and Lu Yan The pawns were defeated in one charge.

Several leaders of the rebel army followed Fan Xianweigu and fled to the southwest, but their horses were not as fast as those of the Huns, and their riding skills were much worse than those of the Huns...

Before the group of rebels ran for three or five miles, they were quickly overtaken by the Huns cavalry led by Huang Zhong and Hu Chuquan!

......

When it was just getting dark, Huang Zhong and Hu Chuquan, who were covered in blood, returned to the camp outside the city with three or five heads each.

And Du Ji, who has been sticking to Yi's City, also brought a person to the camp at this moment, ready to meet Lu Yan.

Lu Yan was inspecting the battle damage and captured items in the large tent of the Chinese army, when suddenly the curtain of the big tent was lifted, and Huang Zhong and Hu Chuquan walked in with the head in hand.

As soon as the two came in, an extremely strong smell of blood penetrated Lu Yan's nose, making him frown unconsciously...

At this time, Du Ji and a handsome young man dressed as a scribe also walked in together.

"Oh!"

As soon as he entered the big tent, Du Ji saw Huang Zhong and Hu Chuquan carrying their heads.

In addition, the two people's hair was disheveled, and their hair and body were covered with dark red blood stains, like evil spirits crawling out of hell, which immediately startled Du Ji and let out an "ahhh".

Seeing Du Ji coming, Lu Yan immediately said to Huang Zhong and Hu Chuquan: "Take these dead heads and bury them. If you hold them in your hands, you won't feel sick when eating..."

Hu Chuquan said with a silly smile: "It's not in the way, it's not in the way, we used to make human heads into wine glasses to drink!"

Du Ji's face turned blue when he heard that, and he yelled in his heart: "Sure enough, he is a barbarian! He really is worse than a beast!"

Lu Yan's face also sank, and he narrowed his eyes slightly and asked, "Whose head do you use to make wine glasses for drinking?"

Hu Chuquan was excited by Lu Yan's bone-chilling voice, and hurriedly explained: "The head of the wine cup is from the Xianbei people. General Hussars, please don't misunderstand!"

"Is it really Xianbei and not Han?" The corners of Lu Yan's mouth curled up slightly, but his whole demeanor was even more stern.

"I, the Southern Huns, have always surrendered to the Han court, how could we treat our brothers like this!"

"Hehe, I hope you didn't..." After Lu Yan sneered, he finally turned his head to look at Du Ji and resumed his normal smile, and said, "Hedong County has been able to persist until now, thanks to Bohou! I have sent a letter to Duke Cao, and I believe that the imperial court will give you the recognition and rewards you deserve."

Taking advantage of Lu Yan's distraction, Huang Zhong and Hu Chuquan threw the dead man's head out of the big tent.

Du Ji distanced himself from Huang Zhong and Hu Chuquan, then cupped his hands and said to Lu Yan: "Thank you Lu Hushi for your kindness!"

"This is what you deserve."

"But Xiaguan was able to hold on to the last front this time, in fact, thanks to the help of the people around him!" Du Ji said, pointing to the young man beside him.

In fact, Lu Yan had already noticed the person next to Du Ji, but Du Ji didn't introduce him, and Lu Yan was not very good at asking directly.

Seeing Du Ji mentioning himself to Lu Yan, the man immediately took a step forward, bowed and said: "Sinner Jia Kui, pay homage to General Hussars!"

Jia Kui? !

When Lu Yan heard this person's name, he was a little surprised and asked, "But Jia Kui, the county magistrate of Jiang County, Jia Liangdao?"

"It's the lower official!" Jia Kui didn't expect Lu Yan to know him, and he was a little surprised, but he said calmly on the surface: "I never thought that the general Hushi would know the lower official..."

"Hehe! I've heard about Guo Yuan's deeds forcing you to surrender...You are loyal, courageous, civil and military, you are very good!"

"Jia is ashamed of Lu Hushi's praise!"

Chapter 348 Recovering Hedong, a thousand wastes await

Jia Kui, courtesy name Liang Dao, was born in Xiangling, Hedong.

Jia's surname was originally a common surname in Hedong, and Jia Kui's ancestors were also rich... Unfortunately, his family has fallen into poverty. In Jia Kui's generation, their family is almost impoverished.

Speaking of poverty, how poor is Jia Kui's family?

There is such a saying, "There is no hakama in winter, and when his wife and brother Liu Fu lived there, there is nothing wrong with it, so I go with Fu hakama." When it gets cold in winter, he doesn't even wear pants, which shows how poor Jia Kui's family is. ...

However, just like the protagonists in many inspirational stories, although Jia Kui's family was poor, he had great ambitions since he was a child, and wanted to join the army and conquer the world.When he was a child, other children were playing with mud, but Jia Kui often used other children as soldiers to form troops...

Jia Kui's grandfather saw Jia Kui's behavior by chance, and was very optimistic about him, predicting that he would become a general.

Although the Jia family was in decline and poverty, their knowledge was still passed down.

Jia Kui's grandfather was even able to dictate tens of thousands of words on the art of war to Jia Kui, which shows the profound origin of Jia's family learning.

After Jia Kui grew up, he first served as a county official in Hedong County by virtue of his extraordinary ability, and later he was promoted to be the county magistrate of Jiangyi because of his outstanding work.

Later, the coalition forces of Gao Gan, Guo Yuan and the Huns attacked Hedong County.

Jiang County was jointly attacked by Guo Yuan and the Huns. Jia Kui knew he was powerless to resist, so he had to open the city and surrender to protect the people in the county.

Because he refused Guo Yuan's offer to surrender, Jia Kui was imprisoned by Guo Yuan and Gao Gan in an earthen kiln in Huguan County.

Until Guo Yuan died in battle, Jia Kui's earthen kiln was closed and left unattended.Jia Kui was also released by a righteous man who broke the gate of the kiln.

Because Jia Kui missed his hometown in Hedong, Jia Kui went back to Hedong County on foot, and planned to return to Jiangxian County to continue to serve as his county magistrate.

It's a pity that not long after he came back, he encountered a rebellion from the native family of Hedong.

Jia Kui saw that these rebels would have to stretch their hips sooner or later, so he led hundreds of county soldiers and fled out of the county in advance before the rebels sent people to recruit him.

Later, Du Ji issued a convening order, calling on people with lofty ideals to come to help him fight against the rebels. Jia Kui rushed over as soon as he received the news.

Du Ji was able to lead the army to deal with the rebels in the wild for so long, at least half of the credit for this must be attributed to Jia Kui.

Whether it is training the militia or making suggestions, or even leading the battle, Jia Kui did it himself.

It is precisely because of this series of hard experiences that he has honed a great talent with both civil and military skills.

Lu Yan was recalling historical information related to Jia Kui in his mind, when Huang Zhong came back.

After Huang Zhong came back, he bowed his hands to Lu Yan and asked, "Sir, the rebel army still has more than ten thousand prisoners. What should they do with them? There is not so much food in Yishi County, we can't afford them."

"Don't worry, I have sent a letter to Cao Gong, and I believe that a large amount of grain will be shipped to Hedong soon." Lu Yan came back to his senses and replied.

Huang Zhong grinned when he heard this and said, "Sir, you have your own rules and regulations for handling affairs, so the general will not worry too much."

"It's not a bad thing to think more. At least until the food arrives, we still need to take care of these captives and not let them cause chaos."

"Here!" After Huang Zhong agreed, he clasped his fists and retreated.

Lu Yan's words undoubtedly made Du Ji and Jia Kui feel relieved.

To be honest, neither the Yi family nor the nearby Yuncheng had much food left.

If it weren't for the fact that the rebel camp had seized some food and grass, it would have been very difficult to support Lu Yan's army, and it would have cost Du Ji his life to support this group of captives.

But so many captives can't be kept for nothing, no matter what, there are more than 1 people.

Therefore, Lu Yan said to Du Ji: "At the beginning, the Central Plains implemented work-for-relief to feed countless refugees and improved many infrastructures. Therefore, these captives can't be kept for nothing. We give them a bite of food, and they have to Use your own labor in exchange for a chance to survive."

As soon as Du Ji heard this, he immediately felt sorry, and he cupped his hands and said, "Lu Hussar is wise! Before the rebellion, the lower officials actually wanted to recruit people to reclaim wasteland and build canals... This is great, there are enough people! "

"Very good!" Lu Yan thought for a while, and added: "There are a group of engineering students graduating from Taiyuan College, and it is just right for them to come here to show what they have learned. These people are all valuable talents, you can't let them What happened to them."

Du Ji had long heard that the Tai Academy had cultivated a group of great talents, and when he heard that Lu Yan was willing to send some people to Hedong for training, he was overjoyed and clapped his hands repeatedly: "

Hedong County has experienced two major turmoil, and there is a huge gap in grassroots officials.It is really great to have them come to lead the people to do things!

Don't worry, Lu Huanqi, even if I, Du, are hacked, I will never let the precious lump of the Tai Academy get hurt! "

Du Ji's words reminded Lu Yan, "Not only are the experienced students, but also the imperial court has to send many more officials... The Hedong family must complete a batch of cleaning. Although the local area can supplement some, but the key positions You still have to use your own talents." However, Lu Yan didn't say this, but secretly remembered it in his heart.

Lu Yan shook his head and replied: "There is no need to overcorrect. What we want to cultivate is talents who can really do things. We must let them suffer the hardships that should be endured. After making mistakes, we must also be punished accordingly. We must not just because it is Taiyuan Academy The students will be given special preferential treatment. Remember, you only need to ensure their personal safety, and let them fight for the rest according to their ability, so as to achieve the purpose of training talents."

After Du Ji heard Lu Yan's words, his face became serious, and he replied respectfully: "What Lu Huqi said is the way to seek the country, I have been educated."

......

After the recovery of the Yi family, Lu Yan and Zhong Yao split up into two groups and headed south without stopping.

Five days later, Lu Yan and Huang Zhong recovered Dayang; Zhong Yao, Pang De and Zhang Xiu recovered Hebei County.

When Lu Yan's army came, the rebels in Hongnong County saw that Zhang Baiqi was killed in battle and the senior officials were missing. They felt that the situation was over, so they finally chose to surrender to the court.So far, the rebels in Hedong County have been completely wiped out, and Hedong County has once again ushered in a rare peace and tranquility.

After the road to Hongnong County was opened, Hedong also got some grain and grass as a supplement.

But the food and grass are still far from enough, and life is still tight.

Fortunately, after another ten days, the first batch of grain and grass transported from Yin and Hanoi counties in Henan finally arrived in Anyi County.

The visitor also brought letters from Sima Lang, governor of Henan Yin, and Wei Zhong, governor of Hanoi County.

They said that 10,000+ shi grains and grasses are being prepared one after another, but only [-] shi grains were sent first because there were not enough ships.

In the county guard's mansion, Lu Yan finally let out a long sigh of relief after reading the letters between Sima Lang and Wei Zhong.

Don't panic if you have food in your hands...With these 10,000+ stone grains, the people of Anyi County can at least survive this winter safely.Moreover, Yanchi near Yuncheng has been taken over by Lu Yan and has been nationalized.In the future, when the Chamber of Commerce expands, there will be no problem with the livelihood of Hedong County.

Chapter 349 I deserve Wang Yan's prosperity!

In addition, Gao Gan was able to escape from the battlefield because of Zhang Baiqi's death for him, and headed south alone.

After losing his war horse, the high-ranking officials who were terrified along the way did not even dare to go where there were people to take the mountain trails, for fear that they would be recognized and arrested.

Gao Gan later mixed with the refugees and followed them across the Yellow River.

After entering Hongnong County, he walked for countless days and nights, and finally reached Jingzhao.

Along the way, when Gao Gan was hungry, he could only eat wild fruits to satisfy his hunger, and when he was thirsty, he could only drink dew and stream water to quench his thirst. He was exhausted and almost reached his limit, having barely eaten a decent meal.

this afternoon,

It was really a high-ranking official who was hungry and tired. He walked to a hillside for leisure and fell asleep unconsciously.

While sleeping soundly, Gao Gan only felt a sharp pain in his calf, as if someone had kicked him hard.

When Gao Gan woke up in a daze, he saw a dozen strong men standing in front of him, and realized that he was not dreaming, but was really kicked hard on the calf... .

These ten or so people are county soldiers responsible for patrolling the surrounding area.It is their job to inspect law and order and check suspicious persons.

"Is there an identity book (the identity book has evolved from the identity card)?" The leading county soldier asked the high-ranking officer.
