After August, climate change in the Yellow River Basin has become extremely obvious. Although it is still hot during the day, the temperature drops a lot at night.

The temperature difference between day and night is extremely large, and it also makes people feel the impact of the small ice age we are currently in on the climate. The north is more serious than the south. As the temperature drops, Hebei, which has been drought for many days, finally ushered in several rainfalls.

This round of rain is naturally a good thing for ordinary people. It can just sow a round of crops and harvest a crop before the cold winter comes. But this vitality only exists in theory, because the current situation in Hebei really makes people see no hope of living and working in peace.

The noisy and bustling domestic strife in Jie finally came to an end. Cheng Xia and others who were trapped in Xiangguo were eventually defeated by Shi Hu. Among the important officials of Xiangguo, a hundred of them, including their relatives behind them, were killed. As for the young king Shi Daya, who was supported by Cheng Xia, they were directly banned and deposed by Shi Hu.

In the end, Shi Hu did not choose to directly impose the rule. Instead, he formally supported the King of Nanyang Shi Hui before the former lord Shi Le Mausoleum to inherit the Grand Priest, while Shi Hu used the title of Prime Minister and Da Shanyu as the title of governor and the military and political affairs of the internal and external affairs, but the title of the king has not been changed.

This is really embarrassing. The Shi Zhao Kingdom was originally the Xia Zhao Kingdom, and the old state of Wei. Zhao had become the name of the country, and the title of King of Wei had long been taken by Shi Kan. Although Shi Kan had completely defeated, and the old Wei territory was mostly obtained by the Huainan army, this king's name is a bit ominous at present. As Shi Hu was unwilling to pick up people's wisdom, so he simply did not change it.

After all, the young master Shi Hui was just a pure puppet, and people at that time knew that Shi Hu would replace him in the future. However, because of the strong enemy in Huainan, he had to temporarily suppress it.

After taking charge of Xiangguo, Shi Hu's first thing was to issue an edict to summon the Six Yi soldiers to gather the troops in the south to attack the Huainan army, seize the city of Ye, and restore all the land in Hebei.

For a time, not only were the winds and clouds around Xiangguo, but even the sounds were heard even further north. In addition to the Hu Yishen who were originally in the Shihu Army, the Hu tribes in Yan Dynasty also had many Hu tribes in correspondence. The acting lord Tuoba Yihuai personally led 3,000 iron cavalry to come south to help the battle, and Murong Ye from Liaodong also sent two thousand cavalry to come south to his brother Murong Ke.

These two Hu tribes are already among the best in the north. After they clearly expressed their support for Shihu, few tribes of all sizes dared to disrespect orders, either to help soldiers or to cows and horses.

Soon, Xiangguo gathered a huge army of 300,000. For a time, Shi Hu's popularity in Hebei also reached its peak, becoming the only choice recognized as able to revive Jie Kingdom.

Relatively speaking, the Huainan Army in the south was weaker and there were almost no major moves or declarations. Of course, they didn't need to say anything else. Just entering Hebei with strong force, annihilated Shikan's public, and capturing Yecheng at the same time, these points are enough to demonstrate the strength and unstoppable power of the Huainan Army.

Speaking of which, a considerable part of the reason why Shi Hu created such a huge momentum in such a short period of time is also thanks to the oppression of the Huainan Army for making the miscellaneous Hu feel a sense of crisis of losing his lips and cold teeth, so he gathered around Shi Hu.

After the end of the Liyang War, Shen Zhezi naturally no longer stayed in Henan Sourjujube, but went north to Liyang. Liyang also became the base camp of the Huainan Army in Hebei, gathering nearly 50,000 soldiers of the Huainan Army, and several divisions were also found in Yecheng and other places.

Advance north in March and Liyang in August. After half a year of hard fighting, the Huainan army was fruitful. First, the entire territory of Yuzhou was recovered, and the Chen Guang riot army, which was originally lingering in Chenliu County, also disappeared. Second, the troops entered Hebei, recovered Ji County, Wei County and other large areas of Hebei lost their territory, and directly pointed to Xiangguo, the capital of Jie Kingdom!

Especially the latter is a unique and great initiative of the King's Army after Yongjia. After more than ten years of fighting the King's Army, the King's Army's battle flag floated again in Hebei, and it was an unprecedentedly powerful posture!

After Shen Zhezi arrived in Liyang, he was not in a hurry to announce his next combat goal. The only military action was to continue to reinforce Yecheng with cavalry and order as many as possible to comfort and recruit as many Jin people from Hebei as the center and to the kingly way.

After more than half a month of sorting out and summarizing, the results of the battle in Liyang were finally sorted out. It was not considered useful, but the number of soldiers and civilians captured in Liyang alone reached more than 30,000! Most of them were Ding Zhuang, Jin, and Hu Shanban from Hebei.

Taking advantage of the strong power of the Liyang victory, Shen Zhezi directly ordered the more than 30,000 prisoners to be transported back to Henan in batches, and at the same time, he ordered the rear to send civil affairs officials to the north to quickly return to the new land between Henan and Yan.

Such tough measures by the Huainan Army also caused strong resistance among the prisoners. It was one aspect that they did not dare to fight when the army gathered, but it was another aspect that forced them to leave their hometowns.

In addition, those who surrendered to the enemy at the last minute did not receive appropriate treatment after a little contact with the Huainan Army. There was inevitably a gap in their hearts, and many people wanted to incite prisoners to rebel.

So in just over ten days, riots from all over the Liyang Camp occurred frequently. However, Shen Zhezi was not Shi Kan's temperament of being kind. No matter who participants were involved in these riots, they had only one attitude, that is, iron-blooded suppression!

Originally, both sides suffered heavy losses in battle in Liyang, but in just over ten days, more than 30,000 prisoners were killed because they were involved in the riot!

Such a brutal suppression finally made all these prisoners terrified and no longer dared to cause trouble. So the remaining people could only be sent to Henan obediently.

At the same time, Shen Zhezi added nearly 10,000 troops to Guo Song to suppress these prisoners and subsequent surrenders. If there are no major changes in the future, Guo Song will be responsible for guarding Xingyang, Chenliu and other places, so he will practice in advance now.

More than 30,000 prisoners did not have all gains. Because Xie Ai took the lead in occupying Yecheng, the original Shikan ruled the people and almost all the goods were obtained by the Huainan army.

The so-called rotten ship also has three kilograms of nails. Although Hebei has been in turmoil for many years, Shikan is still one of the original three giants in Hebei, and its occupation is the essence of Jie Kingdom.

The Huainan Army confiscated the local area, and the rough statistics of the people alone were as high as 200,000 households. Moreover, this was only around several large cities such as Yecheng and Liyang, and many powerful walls between the countryside had not been counted yet. If the detailed control level of the Huainan Governor's Office was reached in the future, Shen Zhezi would not feel surprised if the number doubled.

This alone made Shen Zhezi feel that even though Hebei has collapsed now, the vitality accumulated by the people is still much higher than that of Jiangdong. At present, due to frequent wars and severe waste of people's strength, but as long as the situation is slightly calmer, Hebei's blood recovery speed is still extremely fast.

Shen Zhezi was still a little dissatisfied here, but he didn't know that Shi Kan, who was imprisoned in the army, was already shocked after learning about this Huainan Army. He ruled Ye for so many years, and he didn't even know that there were so many people under his rule. In his concept, 100,000 households were the best. But in the past, there were not even 100,000 households that could be truly ruled and covered.

Originally, he thought that the powerful village sects were only doing some small moves to restrain themselves, but in fact they were brave enough to be limited. But he did not expect that the courage of these people was far beyond his imagination. The strength they had hidden was far greater than that of him, the nominal Lord of Ye!

Shen Zhezi was also surprised to be able to capture Shi Kan alive. To be honest, in such a large-scale battle, even if one side was completely defeated, it would be extremely difficult to capture the enemy's chief general alive. Especially when the Huainan Army fought away in Hebei, it was not familiar with the mountains and rivers of Hebei. Even if Shi Kan could not win, it would be very simple to escape.

Especially the one who captured Shikan this time was Xiao Yuandong again! This fellow Zaozhuang villager was so lucky that he was amazing. Even Shen Zhezi was jealous and even doubted whether this person was blessed by the plane son of the plane.

However, this son of the plane is only keen on bragging at the moment. The man aroused countless resentment in the army, so that Shen Zhezi had to send him out to avoid swaggering around in the camp.

Shi Kan was considered the highest-ranking official in the Jie Kingdom that Shen Zhezi had received since the Northern Expedition, so he naturally could not be killed simply. Therefore, no matter whether a person does good or evil, as long as he can reach a height that most people cannot reach, it will always be different. Scarcity is precious, and people are inevitable.

Just in terms of crime, the heads of the Hebei rich and military soldiers were definitely not as good as Shi Kan. As Shen Zhezi knew, the generals with famous surnames in the Xuzhou army died in Shi Kan could not count them with one hand. As a result, Shi Kan is still living well in the Huainan army camp and has no worries about food and drink, but the heads of the army were thrown into the river for inciting prisoners to rebellion and fed fish and shrimps.

Shen Zhezi didn't have much psychological burden for this difference. He did evil and was incompetent. If you don't die first, who will die first!

After Shi Kan joined the army, he was very peaceful and willing to accept his fate. Although Shen Zhezi scolded him fiercely before, he did not deliberately treat him harshly. Although this guy has a lot of old evil, he is still loyal to the Huainan Army. If he has improved his skills, the Huainan Army will be more difficult to win this time, and the income may not be so generous.

However, there is something strange that Shi Kan was imprisoned several times and expressed his intention to meet Shen Zhezi, but he didn't know what he was going to do. But Shen Zhezi was too lazy to pay attention to it. For him, the only meaning left of this guy is to save his life and send it back to Jiangdong to kill him in public, so that the people of Jiangdong would also be happy.

He didn't believe that anyone was about to die and said good things. Shi Kan would offer him any good strategies to disrupt Hebei. One was not that heart, the other was not that mind.
