One hundred and thirty-seven the end of the rebellion
In order to show his courage and intimidate the enemy, Zhu Jun ordered the Han army to push all the more than a thousand prisoners captured to the rebel formation and behead them all in front of the rebels.
More than a thousand heads fell to the ground, and then they made a terrifying Jingguan in front of the formation openly.
The rebels were shocked, the number of deserters was increasing, and the morale of the Wuwan people was unstable. Many Wuwan people were talking about Qiu Liju's inauthentic work and took everyone to this muddy water. Now they can't leave and can't beat them. What should I do?
Qiu Liju is really in trouble.
If you want to leave, the Han army and the 20,000 cavalry in Nanlou are eyeing each other, they will definitely catch up. Let's continue fighting. He was defeated head-on by the Han army, so he really didn't have the confidence to fight another battle.
In a dilemma, the plundered food was not enough, and I was in big trouble now.
At this stall, Cheng Li offered Guo Peng a clever plan.
Cheng Li suggested that Guo Peng drive a batch of cavalry and car-carred food outside the military camp at night, and then after dawn, he would enter the military camp with flags and swaying his might, creating the illusion of the Han army increasing troops and increasing food for the rebels, and putting huge psychological pressure on the rebels.
Guo Peng was overjoyed and immediately told Zhu Jun about this trick. Zhu Jun was overjoyed and immediately put it into practice.
Then Qiu Liju got a report from the provoy, saying that the Han army increased its troops and grain and expanded its barracks, and it seemed that it was going to fight a decisive battle with them.
Qiu Liju didn't believe it at first, but after disguising himself, he went out to check the news, he was sure that the report of the whistleblower was true.
What should I do now?
Qiu Liju's heart was full of anger.
Then, Cheng Li offered another suggestion, saying that at this time, he could send more stringent peace talks to Qiu Liju, which would give Qiu Liju the illusion that the Han army was confident, and put him in great psychological pressure.
Guo Peng immediately told Zhu Jun that Zhu Jun was very happy and sent more excessive peace talks to Qiu Liju, such as asking Qiu Liju's subordinates to compensate Nanlou.
After seeing this, Qiu Liju was frightened and was even more sure that the Han army was confident, so he was so confident.
As his food was decreasing, he wanted to walk away, but he had no morale. His morale was getting lower and lower, and he complained more and more. The number of riots between the Han and Hu rebels and the people also increased significantly. If he stayed here, he would probably be dragged to death.
These people are so amazing. If they don’t leave, they will probably die here.
Such worries became deeper and deeper, and the more I thought about it, the more I became more and more afraid. After not asleep for two nights, Qiu Liju decided to talk to the Han army about conditions and discussed with the Han army in a tone of insufficient confidence whether to negotiate peace according to the previous requirements.
The left Shanyu was the left Shanyu, and the Wuyan tribe was the Wuyan tribe, as long as he could let him go.
The Han army's reply made his heart feel cold. In addition to insisting on the original conditions, the Han army even added some requesting tribes, saying that if Qiu Liju continued to bargain, he would add more requesting tribes.
Qiu Liju had lost his normal judgment ability. Under heavy pressure, he decided to accept the conditions of the Han army.
But he asked the Han army to keep his promise, otherwise he would fight to the death with the Han army without his life.
Zhu Jun came to the front of the formation as the commander of the Han army to meet Qiu Liju. The two discussed the conditions and swear to each other with the testimony of heaven and earth. Zhu Jun pulled out his waist and inserted it on the ground, saying that when Qiu Liju withdraws, the Han army will definitely not pass the position of his sword.
Qiu Liju was relieved only then.
So on July 17, Qiu Liju led his troops to leave Feiru quickly and fled towards Liucheng.
Zhu Jun kept his promise and did not let his troops pursue him. Then he led the Han army to recover Fei Ru and gained more than 100,000 Hanhukou people who were disarmed and lost their combat capabilities.
Nanlou was originally very sad and angry because he failed to kill Qiu Liju.
But Guo Peng comforted him and said that Wuyan's troops would follow him from now on, as compensation given to him by the great man, and hoped that he would consider the overall situation. Now is not the time to turn against Qiu Liju.
When they all have enough strength, they will wipe out Qiu Liju. Now they are just slandering him.
Qiu Liju betrayed the great man once, and the great man will no longer trust him, so the great man will definitely find a way to wipe him out in the future. Now Nanlou and the great man need to work hard to accumulate strength.
Guo Peng also said that he would submit a report and asked the court to enthrone Nanlou as Wuhuan Youshanyu, so that Nanlou could command the Wuhuan tribe west of Youbeiping, while Qiu Liju led the Wuhuan tribe east of Youbeiping, and realized the situation of Wuhuan's east of East-West division.
He will station in Shanggu, give Danlou enough help and confidence to help Danlou stabilize the situation, and be equal to Qiu Liju. Qiu Liju will not be able to hurt or threaten Danlou.
Nanlou shed tears and said that he would always be grateful to Guo Peng's kindness, and he would not refuse as long as Guo Peng needs it again.
After Qiu Liju's problem was resolved, Guo Peng found Guan Yu and Zhang Fei again with guilt and expressed his apology to them.
"In this situation, I can't do it if I want to kill Qiu Liju to avenge Senior Brother Xuande. Yun Chang, Yide, I have not fulfilled my promise to you, I'm sorry for you."
After saying that, Guo Peng bowed to Guan Yu and Zhang Fei.
Guan Yu was shocked and immediately returned the greeting. Zhang Fei was a little at a loss. Seeing Guan Yu bowing to return the greeting, he did the same.
"Don't dare! The general avenged his former master and led the way to fight the rebels without retreating. He has done his best. How can Guan blame the general? To put it in detail, this matter is related to our failure to appease the morale of the army in time, causing damage to the general's subordinates. According to military rules, we should be executed."
Guan Yu cried and said, "General Meng refused to abandon him, and Yu and Yide were able to take revenge on the battlefield for the former master. Although they had not done their best, things had come to this point and were no longer possible. Generals were in charge of affairs, Yu worshipped him and Yu was willing to follow the general to fight on the battlefield. This is the general who can be driven by this. I only hope that the general will not forget the former master's hatred!"
After saying that, Guan Yu bowed to the ground.
Zhang Fei also cried and went to the ground with Guan Yu bowing.
"General! Fei is the same! May the general not forget the hatred of his former master!"
Guo Peng sighed deeply, helped Guan and Zhang up, stroked their backs, and said with a sad expression: "Senior brother comes to join, but I can't protect my senior brother. I don't know what face to face the teacher. If you can understand me, I am ashamed. Yun Chang, Yide, I will never let you down in this life."
Then, based on Guan Yu and Zhang Fei's outstanding performance in this battle, Guo Peng appointed Guan Yu as the military marquis, leading 500 troops, and Zhang Fei as Guan Yu's deputy.
Earlier, Guo Peng sent someone to find Liu Bei's body and sent it back to his hometown Zhuo County, giving Liu Bei's clan some compensation. This time, he sent someone to bring ten Wuwan's heads to Zhuo County to pay tribute to Liu Bei.
