The strongest among the rebels was still the one led by Pu Huan. In more than a month, the number of his rebels reached 100,000. However, under Hu Sanniang's encirclement and suppression, it only took a few
Within days, only 60,000 of the 100,000 people were left, and the rest were either killed or fled to other places.
Pu Huan was leading the army deep in the mountains at the moment. He stood on the top of the mountain, frowning. Next to him stood a Korean woman. The Korean woman looked at him strangely and said, "Sir, you are worried.
What's the matter?"
Pu Huan nodded and said: "Winter is coming, and our army may not be able to survive without enough food."
The Korean woman couldn't help but laugh and said: "Sir, is this issue worth worrying about? Our people will support us, and they will take out their own food and give it to us."
Pu Huan smiled bitterly and shook his head without saying anything. He knew that he would not be as optimistic as the woman said. In this era, the life of ordinary people in Goryeo was also very difficult, even much more difficult than that of the people of the Song Dynasty. Here we are.
In winter, it is difficult for ordinary people to survive the winter. How can we give them the only food we have?
Pu Huan knew where there was food. There were almost all granaries in those tall cities. As long as those cities were conquered, enough food could be obtained.
But with the strength of the resistance army, it would be as difficult as climbing to the sky to conquer those cities, basically impossible! How could a group of peasant soldiers armed with wooden sticks and hoes defeat the Liangshan army?
Pu Huan was worried about this problem when suddenly several young men ran over from below. These young men were all members of the resistance army. At this moment, all of them had smiles of surprise.
"What happened?" Pu Huan asked.
"My lord, I'm so happy, the imperial envoy from the imperial court is here!" a young man said excitedly.
"What? The Imperial Envoy? Is this true?" Pu Huan also had a rare smile of surprise on his face.
"Of course it's true. He also brought the king's imperial edict." The young man said.
"That's great. It seems that the court has not forgotten us, and the king has not forgotten us! Come on, let's go see the imperial envoy!" Pu Huan also said excitedly.
During this period of time, in addition to the siege and suppression of Liangshan, there was another thing that made him feel extremely stressed, and that was the inability to contact the Goryeo court. Pu Huan knew that without the support of the court, it would be difficult for the rebels to sustain themselves. Now the court
When the imperial envoy came, Pu Huan's first reaction was that the imperial court would strongly support them, and the imperial court's aid must be coming!
"We in Goryeo still have hundreds of thousands of troops. They must have returned home now. Then it will be the end of the Liangshan invaders!" Pu Huan said with some excitement. "Please familiarize yourself with the domain name."
He once served in Yeongju City and has a certain understanding of Goryeo's military strength. Goryeo initially had more than 100,000 troops. In the first half of this year, another 100,000 troops were recruited. Now the total strength has exceeded 200,000. However, those 200,000 troops are
It was in the north. Some time ago, they achieved a "brilliant" record and conquered all the cities of Daliao. Pu Huan believed that the 200,000 army had strong combat effectiveness. He believed that as long as the 200,000 army came back, Liangshan would definitely not be an opponent.
It was time to restore their homeland. And they, the rebels, would assist the 200,000-strong army to completely wipe out Liangshan's army. Thinking of this, he became more and more excited.
"By the way, did the Imperial Envoy tell us any assistance?" Pu Huan asked as he ran forward.
"I didn't say anything. The imperial envoy just asked you to come and read the imperial edict to you." The young man next to him said.
"Okay, let's speed up." Pu Huan said.
Deep in the ravine, Pu Huan finally saw the imperial envoy, a second-grade civil servant in his 40s, accompanied by dozens of imperial guards.
With a smile on his face, Pu Huan immediately fell to his knees on the ground and said loudly: "The humble minister Pu Huan has seen the Imperial Envoy. Do you know what the Imperial Envoy's surname is?"
The imperial minister was Li Mi who went to Quanzhou to announce the imperial edict. He nodded lightly and said: "I am Li Mi, the Privy Councilor. I came to the south to announce the imperial edict on the order of the king. You accept the edict."
At this moment, not only Pu Huan knelt down, but also all the resistance members here knelt down. No other sounds could be heard except the sound of wind. Everyone was excitedly waiting for Li Mi to announce the decree.
Li Mi began to read out the imperial edict. The content of the imperial edict could not be that the southern part of Goryeo had been ceded, and then all the officials, soldiers and horses in the southern part of Goryeo were asked to return to the north.
After reading the imperial edict, Li Mi said: "Do you all understand the imperial edict? Pu Huan, you should disband the resistance army now and follow me back to the north."
Pu Huan couldn't believe it and said: "How is this possible? How could the king have such an imperial edict?"
Li Mi frowned and said, "What's the matter? Don't you want to obey the order?"
Pu Huan shook his head and said: "I don't believe that the king would have such an imperial edict! Liangshan invaded our Goryeo, and the king not only did not send troops to destroy the Liangshan bandits, he even surrendered to Liangshan?! This can't be true. You must not be an imperial minister.
!Come here and kill them!"
Pu Huan's body retreated quickly towards the rear, but his face showed great pain. As his order was issued, the rebels who were kneeling on the ground rushed toward Li Mi and the imperial guards.
come over.
Li Mi and the imperial guards were stunned at this moment. They had been announcing decrees in various places. This was the first time they encountered such a situation.
"Do you want to rebel?" Li Mi shouted loudly, but his voice was soon drowned out by the crowd.
Although the fighting strength of the rebels was very weak, they were extremely numerous. Due to the arrival of the imperial ministers, many people came to the valley to listen to the imperial edict. At this moment, there were almost tens of thousands of people here. Soon, Li Mi and the imperial guards
was submerged.
The imperial edict had been completely trampled on, and finally passed into Pu Huan's hands.
Pu Huan looked at the imperial edict and felt extremely painful in his heart. He basically confirmed that the edict was true. He didn't understand why this happened? Why did the King of Goryeo and the ministers of the imperial court make such a decision?
However, his face was calm and calm, and he just said coldly: "The imperial edict is fake, and you must not believe it. This must be Liangshan's plan. They used fake imperial edicts and fake imperial ministers to deceive us! We must
Keep fighting!"
By the end of October, with the help of Goryeo's "imperial ministers", all the cities in the south belonged to Liangshan, and the number of rebels was reduced by more than half. Of course, the remaining rebels were particularly stubborn, and some
Not only did they rebel against Liangshan, they even rebelled against the King of Goryeo.
However, the combat effectiveness of the rebels is not worth mentioning. If Liangshan encircles and suppresses them vigorously, it will be easy to eliminate them.
"Sanniang, you don't seem to be in a good mood?" Hu Sanniang led the army to Zhongzhou City in Goryeo. At this moment, he was having dinner in the city lord's palace. Sister-in-law Gu, Sun Xin, Sun Li, and brothers Xie Zhen and Jie Bao
Everyone is here.
They were all friends who met in Dengzhou and had a good relationship with Hu Sanniang's relatives. Now that the war has come to an end, everyone gathered together to celebrate.
"Well, how can I feel better after killing too many people?" Hu Sanniang said with a bitter smile.
Just this afternoon, the Third Army executed another group of Koreans who tried to attack Liangshan. Several of those Koreans were children around ten years old, which suddenly made Hu Sanniang feel bad.
"Sister of the Hu family, you are a soldier now, so you must not be benevolent to a woman." Sun Lida said.
Sun Li was very satisfied with Hu Sanniang, the commander of the army. Although Hu Sanniang was young, she was an expert in using troops. When attacking the south of Goryeo this time, Hu Sanniang made almost no mistakes in her troops. Under Hu Sanniang's command, the entire army seemed to become a
He picked up an iron fist and hammered the enemy hard. The only thing he was dissatisfied with might be Hu Sanniang's so-called "compassion".
Sun Li felt that there was no need for mercy towards these Goryeo barbarians. Kindness to the enemy was cruelty to oneself. All Goryeo who dared to attack Liangshan's army must be brutally massacred. No matter whether they were men, women, old or young, no one could be left behind.
, Only in this way can the other Koreans be frightened.
"That's right, Commander, how can there be no reason not to kill people in a war? We captured the southern part of Goryeo. What a glorious achievement this is? We Han people have never achieved such a result in more than two hundred years! Killing a few enemies is not enough.
What does it matter?" Xie Zhen said with a smile.
This time, the soldiers of Liangshan were very excited to conquer the south of Goryeo. Originally, Liangshan practiced militarism and promoted hatred against foreigners all day long. This made the soldiers of Liangshan have little sympathy for the Goryeo people. So Xie Zhen, Jie Bao, etc.
People also don't understand Hu Sanniang's "compassion" and find it meaningless.
Hu Sanniang shook her head and smiled bitterly, thinking that maybe she was really a woman, and her compassion was a bit too much. But no matter what, it was difficult for her to accept the scene of those children being killed, which made her feel very sad.
"Sanniang, should we go to the north?" Sister-in-law Gu ate a big mouthful of meat. She felt her stomach was full, so she stopped, wiped the lard from her mouth, and couldn't help but ask.
"Well, go to the north soon. I believe there will be a war in the north." Hu Sanniang said.
"A war? Isn't the Korean army north of the Yalu River? Our navy is on the Yalu River. They can't come back at all. How can there be a war?" Sister-in-law Gu said in surprise.
"Sister, it's winter now, the Yalu River has frozen, and our navy has returned to Incheon Port a long time ago. I believe that the Korean army will return home soon." Hu Sanniang said with a smile.
"Ah! It turns out to be like this! It's so wonderful!" Sister-in-law Gu said.
Not only Sister-in-law Gu said this, but the rest of the people also said "Great!" It turned out that this time the southern battle greatly boosted the morale of the army, including Sun Li, Sun Xin, Xie Zhen, Xie Bao and others were eager to have
A new war has arrived! The Goryeo army has returned, which means that they can have a good fight, which can relieve everyone's "war addiction".
"But the war in the north is not that easy. Goryeo's army is vulnerable, but the real woman is powerful." Hu Sanniang said.
"Nv Zhenren? Will they come to Korea?" Sun Li said in surprise.
"Well, you should come back. Master Nv has formed an alliance with the Koreans. They definitely don't want to see Korea fall into the hands of the Han people." Hu Sanniang said.
"The Governor often says that nv is really powerful, but I don't believe it! This time I will fight with nv to see how powerful they are." Sun Li laughed.
The rest of the people also laughed, and Hu Sanniang said: "The governor must be right when he says they are powerful. We must be more careful when the time comes."
"This is natural. We must despise the enemy strategically and pay attention to the enemy tactically. Haha, on the battlefield, I will not underestimate any enemy. Sun Lidao."
The officers and soldiers of the Third Army were all ready to go north. Unexpectedly, when Hua Rong led the army to the north, he actually asked the Third Army to stay in the south.
