On October 27, 689, the largest peasant slave uprising in the empire in the past decade broke out in Beiyuan County, north of the Tanghe Empire.

The uprising occurred in Qinghe Prefecture, in the southern part of Beiyuan County. Since the local officials did not pay enough attention to it, they thought that like the small riots in the past period, they neither reported to the central government of the empire nor quickly took powerful measures. Therefore, the uprising spread in just one week, affecting the neighboring Pinglu Prefecture, Laizhou Prefecture in Yanyun County, Heishan Prefecture and Longquan Prefecture in Heshuo County. The number of peasants and slaves participating in the uprising also grew from less than 3,000 to nearly 60,000, and there was a trend of continued development.

The rebels successively captured several large market towns in Qinghe Prefecture, defeated the two regiments of the Qinghe Prefecture Guard Division who came to suppress the attack, and the private armed coalition forces of the local landlords and merchants. They also seized the property of several large landlords and merchants, as well as a small armament warehouse of a local security force, and obtained a large amount of logistics supplies. The momentum was even more powerful. Small groups of rebel troops from nearby prefectures also moved closer to this side, hoping to meet with them. Seeing that the situation could no longer be controlled, the officials of Qinghe Prefecture and Beiyuan County woke up as if they were dreaming and hurriedly reported to the Central Committee of the Empire and sought help from the Second Corps of the Imperial Army stationed in Anyuan Prefecture, the capital of Beiyuan County.

The Dezheng Hall of the Empire City. The hall was silent, with only the deep voice of the Interior Minister Lu Wenfu; "At present, the mob mainly gathered in the Da'anji, ancient town and Taihe Town in Qinghe Prefecture, which bordered Longquan Prefecture in Heshuo County, and the terrain was relatively complicated. Because they defeated our local security forces and robbed a lot of weapons and supplies, they developed very quickly, and the number of people was estimated to be close to 80,000. Now the first and second security divisions of Longquan Prefecture are ready and are on standby in the prefecture city. Due to the extremely unstable situation in the neighboring counties, Anyuan Prefecture, Qinghe Prefecture, Pinglu Prefecture, Longquan Prefecture, Heshuo County, Heishan Prefecture, and Yanyun County, have all declared a state of emergency. Beiyuan County has requested assistance from the Second Corps stationed in the local area, but because there is no order from the military headquarters and the Northern Military Region, the Second Corps has not yet made a reply."

Situ Mingyue, the 31st emperor of the Empire, who was sitting on the imperial chair directly above, looked gloomy and his eyes were half closed. After Lu Wenfu's words stopped for a while, he continued to speak in a cold tone. "He Aiqing, you can say it too."

The emperor refers to the military minister He Zhiqiu, a thin old man about fifty years old, ranks out. "Your Majesty, the reports of the Second Corps and the Northern Military Region have been reported to me, and I am preparing to report to you. In addition to this situation, I have some situations to report to you."

"speak."

"According to the information we have, the three countries' armies of Kaman, Sisro and Poole on the northern border have been abnormally mobilized. Several main corps of the Three Kingdoms Army have moved south to the border area bordering our country and are in a state of attack. Two corpses and three independent divisions under the Northern Military Region have all entered a state of alert. We have issued a notice to the Three Kingdoms Embassy in my country. The ambassadors of the Three Kingdoms are called routine military mobilization and drills. But we suspect that the Three Kingdoms operations are related to the riots in northern my country. In addition, Sir Lanmon, the Minister of Military Affairs of the Principal of the Trilock, also informed us that Sisro and the armies of Kaman were conducting large-scale military exercises in the border area with their countries, and requested our Western Military Region Third Corps to move northward in case of an accident."

"Dear friends, what else do you think?"

"The last general believes that the most urgent task at present is to quell the riots. The military mobilization of the three northern countries is nothing more than trying to make trouble. As long as we are ready to fight and fight the riots of the unruly people, I think they will only be happy for a while." The person who spoke was a military general in his forties. He spoke with a southern accent. He was the commander of the Imperial City Guard Legion.

The emperor's eyes were aimed at another military general next to him, and Ma Yuan, the commander of the Imperial Guards Corps, hurried out of the line. "The last general also believed that he should be installed first, but if the army was to be drawn from the northern military region or the eastern military region, it should be carefully considered to prevent foreign enemies from taking advantage of the situation."

"Dear friends, you have other opinions."

After looking at His Highness, no one else said anything, the emperor frowned, "He Aiqing, let me talk about the opinions of the military."

The opinions of the two generals just now are very reasonable. I have discussed with Lord Lu. There is a plan, please let Your Majesty decide."

"speak."

"I discussed with Lord Lu. Five security divisions from the four governments formed a chain in the north and west, and took a defensive force. Two divisions of the City Guards were drawn to the east and south to attack. The three divisions of the Third Army of the Western Military Region approached the north to the junction with the Principality of the Trilogy in order to prevent accidents. All troops in the northern Military Region remained highly alert to deal with emergencies. At the same time, the Foreign Minister Su can protest to the three countries to protest against their destruction of the border situation and may trigger a war between the two countries. Is it OK, please decide."

"Everyone, I have any opinions and opinions, I will say something."

"Your Majesty, I think it can be announced in some areas of the three northern counties that are indeed difficult to pay taxes and open warehouses to provide relief, so that the people can be comforted and the mob morale will be dismantled." Minister of Agricultural Affairs Qin Yuedong made a list and suggested.

The emperor nodded with satisfaction and said, "Qin Qing's words are reasonable. I will let you and Tian Aiqing do this. The rest will be arranged immediately according to what He Qing just reported, and strive to win completely."

On November 15, 689, the Second Division of the Imperial City Guards set out from the western suburbs of the imperial capital and advanced from south to north. The Third Division set out from the northern suburbs of the imperial capital, first marched in the northeast, and then encircled from southeast to northwest.

Before the war, the Third Division held a combat meeting with all the leaders of the division and above. At the meeting, the head of the Hawkell Division conveyed the spirit and key points of the military meeting held by the military headquarters, and asked everyone to cheer up and strive to show the majesty of the Third Division. This was also a rare opportunity to train and make meritorious contributions. I hope everyone would do it themselves. Then, the chief of staff arranged the tasks of each regiment. After the meeting, Wufeng returned to the brigade and immediately held a meeting of all the soldiers of the brigade on the playground. At the meeting, he briefly summarized the training results and talked about the severe situation facing the northern part of the empire. Wufeng once again displayed his unparalleled speech talent.

"Brothers, happiness always comes suddenly. I have received the order that we are about to go to the north to welcome our first battle. The fruits of success are waiting for us to taste, promotion and wealth, and returning home in glory is no longer a dream. The enemy is nothing more than a group of country bumpkins who have never been properly trained. As long as we destroy them, gold coins, slaves, and beauty will have everything, and we must not miss the opportunity. Times will never come again. Let us stand up and welcome our first glory."

The words were so exciting that everyone couldn't help but shout loudly, and the deafening roars resounded throughout the sky. Even Liang Chongxin, who had always been calm, couldn't help but feel excited and wanted to set off immediately.

After five days and nights of rapid march, the Third Division had reached the junction of Laizhou Prefecture in the Empire Yanyun County and Pinglu Prefecture in Beiyuan County. The troops were a little tired, so the division ordered a day off. Wufeng was sitting in the tent and was carefully observing the map on the table.

"Report."

"Come in."

A figure came in.

"It's Chongxin, come and sit down."

Before Liang Chongxin arrived at the case, he did not sit down, but looked at the map on the case carefully.

"Sir, this seems to be the map of the area where we are, but it seems that it is not the military map sent above, it is much more detailed than the one sent."

"I have a good vision. This was made by me when I was traveling around a few years ago when I was looking for private scholars everywhere."

"Does the Lord know that we will fight in this area?"

"I am not a god, so how could I predict the funeral? However, I am quite interested in geography, so when I traveled to various places, I asked local geography scholars and asked them to make a detailed local map for me. Although it was not standardized enough, it was much more practical than what was posted above. I had traveled to the Western Continent and found that the map production there was much more advanced and better than ours, and the empire was already much behind in this regard."

"Sir, I don't know what action will happen tomorrow."

"I just got the latest news in the wing. The Second Division and three local security divisions had already fought with the enemy in Qinghe Prefecture two days ago. I heard that the initial battle was not going well, but it has already gained an absolute advantage. I am afraid that good news will come soon."

"It may not be good news for our division. The second division has taken all the fat meat. I wonder if we can still get some soup."

"According to my analysis, the enemy may not be eaten by the Second Division and the others in an instant."

"Oh, why do you think so?"

"Because the Second Division has only more than 20,000 people, plus three local security divisions with less than 90,000, at best, three of which have uneven combat capabilities, and the riots have about 80,000. Moreover, these military troops are familiar with the local terrain and are very supportive in the local area. Although they have not undergone formal training, they have defeated local security forces, which means they still have certain combat effectiveness. So even if they are defeated, the Second Division and the others will not be able to catch them in one go. I guess if the enemy is defeated, they will most likely flee to us separately. At that time, our division will be just waiting for their work and give them a urn to catch turtles in a jar."

"Sir, I hope that our Third Division can make achievements and not let everyone have a happy time." Liang Chongxin breathed a sigh of relief. He had an indescribable sense of trust in his superiors.

"Don't worry, you will have the opportunity to make contributions at that time. Go back and take a break early, keep your energy in full, and prepare for battle."

Two days later, Wufeng received a notice from the superiors in the corps that the Second Division and the local security forces defeated the main force of the chaos in the Wanjiaji area of ​​Qinghe Prefecture, eliminated more than 20,000 chaos in the corps, captured nearly 30,000. The remaining corpses had been divided into more than ten groups and fled towards the Third Division.

"It's true that it's not as expected, it's finally here." Wu Feng said to himself in his heart.

After receiving the notice, the Third Division immediately made arrangements, using the corps as the combat unit, five corpses set off to fight and strive to wipe out the entire battle. The Fourth Regiment also made arrangements, placing the five brigades in the combat area, maintaining a certain distance in the middle, and maintaining contact at any time to prevent any fish that escaped from the net from escaping. Wufeng took the initiative to ask the Fifth Brigade to patrol the central hilly areas that other brigades do not want to go to and obtain approval. After the meeting, the five brigades immediately launched an action and entered a combat state.

"Why are we divided into this route? This road is difficult to walk? Will the enemy be busy escaping? Will he take this road?"

"Zhongxin, you see that this road is a bit remote and very hidden, but not narrow. There must be locals familiar with the terrain among the enemies. They definitely didn't expect us to appear here, so the enemy commander should go on this line. I'm a little worried that if the enemy is too many, we can't eat it."

"Sir, the enemy is already a stray dog. After running away so far, we must be very tired. We are in a strong morale and are waiting for our hard work. No matter how many, we can take it."

"More ants bite the elephant to death, so everyone should be more cautious and keep in touch with the wing at any time. All scouts will be dispatched and report any situation quickly."

"Yes." Wufeng led the Fifth Brigade to maintain high alert and conduct searches in an orderly manner.

"Report." A quick voice rang out.

"speak."

"A large number of enemy troops were found fifteen miles ahead, with unknown numbers, estimated to be more than 3,000 people. The enemy is moving in our direction."

"Order the whole team to enter the combat state. The first squadron is circling to the rear of the enemy. The second squadron is marching in front and each sends two squadrons to ambush on both sides of the valley. The third squadron, the fourth squadron, the fifth squadron and the second squadron are marching in front and are ready for combat. They immediately report to the gang that encountered the enemy and request support." After Wufeng calmly issued the order, the squadrons immediately took action.

With all kinds of preparations, Wufeng observed the riots coming like locusts. The riots did not send scouts at all. They probably did not expect to be ambushed here and were only concerned about running away. Looking at the riots getting closer and closer, Wufeng's calm heart couldn't help but feel a little excited. After all, it was his first battle.

"Arrow ready, listen to my order." Wufeng whispered the order.

As we got closer, we could even hear the enemy's voice. Wufeng raised his right hand, and the archers all drew their bows and arrows, holding their breath.

"put."

With Wufeng's order, "Swoosh swosh swosh swosh swosh swosh." The arrows shot out like locusts. The chaotic army was caught off guard. It fell down like harvesting wheat. At that time, a large area fell down, and some fled to both sides of the valley, and they were attacked by bows and arrows, and some fled back. There were troops behind them shouting to chase them, which made the chaotic army even more chaotic.

At this time, Wufeng stood up and stood at the highest point of the ambush, cheering loudly: "Listen to the Luan Army, we are the Third Division of the Imperial City Guard Corps. You are already surrounded. Put down your weapons immediately and surrender. You can avoid death, otherwise you will be killed." Although the voice was not very loud, it was clearly heard in the ears of every enemy soldier.

The panicked enemy suddenly calmed down, but a hoarse voice immediately roared: "Brothers, don't listen to them. Surrender is a dead end. There are not many people in them. Rush me, only if you rush out can you live."

Then several voices shouted, "Running." "Don't listen to them." The situation where the rant army had already calmed down became commotion again.

Wufeng saw the person who took the lead and shouted, probably the leader of the rioters. He took a hard bow from a soldier next to him, bent his bow and arrow, and made it all in one go. With a scream, the guy who was shouting his subordinates were rushing forward was penetrated by Wufeng's heart and killed him on the spot. Liang Chongxin and two other officers also shot the guys who were clamoring to the ground. The rioters suddenly became headless flies, and they didn't know where to go.

Wufeng's cold voice sounded again: "Submit immediately and give you a way out. Those who resist will be stubborn will be killed immediately. Those who just now are role models."

"Clang!" With a sound, I don't know who was the first to drop the weapon, just like contagion. "Sigh-up." All the chaotic troops put down their weapons in an instant. "Hold their heads in their hands, lined up in a column, waiting for the handling." Wufeng issued an order again, and at the same time signaled some troops to closely monitor and some troops to step forward and disarm.
