This is the first time that Liu Yu has officially led his troops to fight since he joined the army.

In the past, he used wild ways, but it was not so formal. As the first expedition since the emperor ascended the throne, the emperor should have personally left the city to practice it for Liu Yu, but because this trip was an internal war, everything was mainly low-key. Even the imperial guards left the city in batches.

The troops called were transferred 2,000 infantry from the South Chang'an camp to the Right Army, 2,000 infantry from the Imperial Guard to the Left Army, and 4,000 female army to the Central Army. This was all the troops brought by Liu Yu. The logistics was mainly responsible for the South Chang'an camp. The march and deployment of various routes highlighted the slow pace. They rushed to the road and slowed down after entering the rebellion area.

This time, the rebellion was basically dominated by infantry. After all, the cavalry of the Dashun Dynasty now gathered in the northern border to prepare for a battle with the Turks. The cavalry that Liu Yu could call was less than 500 cavalry.

The rebellion has spread to most areas south of central Guanzhong, causing disaster relief in southern Guanzhong to stagnate. Many refugees gave up their homes and migrated northward to avoid war. Many refugees also joined the rebellion.

Among the rebels, the more prestigious ones are Fucheng, located in the eastern Huicheng area and Lu Jiu, who is relatively south. His subordinates have relatively military disciplines, and in the Ming robbery, they only deal with the government and wealthy families. They also distributed food to expand their troops in the face of disaster victims. Because the rebels of Fucheng and his group were relatively north, they were the first to be wiped out after the Dongshui Camp went south. In the two battles with the Fucheng rebels, the Fucheng rebels basically ended in defeat, but because the court ordered that the rebels not be treated with slaughter, the Dongshui Camp army did not pursue the pursuit. The Fucheng rebels had been scattered to six or seven county towns around and collected the city.

As for the southern Lujiuyi Group, due to the severe drought, the food shortage was added, and the development to the north was blocked by the troops recruited by Qi and Zhang Zhu. Although the military equipment was not complete and the use of basically all armed forces trained by local regiments, these armed forces were much more advanced than the rebels. Local rebels did not dare to fight when encountering troops, and they were basically guerrilla warfare. There were rebels everywhere, and it was not just Fucheng and Lujiu. In addition, local droughts and refugees were everywhere. This added a lot of difficulty to the imperial court's counter-rebellion.

When the Dashun Dynasty arrived, the disciples in Guanzhong were the most fertile and raised two to three million people. Although the drought in many areas was very mild, the spread of this rebellion made the entire Guanzhong area in a state of chaos. The further south the army went, the more unbearable the situation they saw. Therefore, this rebellion was carried out together with disaster relief, and the subsequent food and grass were transported to the disaster area. The bright spot for the rebellion to be sent to the rebellion was that Liu Yu cooperated with the local area to distribute the food and rice for disaster relief.

Due to the issue of refugees, the army was not very fast. It was originally planned to arrive at the severely affected area in two days, but on the afternoon of the third day, the central army passed by the city of Lucheng in central Guanzhong. Outside the city of Lucheng, the army was the first time to stop at night. Liu Yu also had to summarize all aspects of the news and determine the final strategic issue. Now all the rebels are mixed, and it is a problem before him that clear which route to first or how to quell the rebellion.

For the civil war, Liu Yu tried his best to focus on appeasement. Most of the rebels were disaster victims who could not survive. As long as they had a good meal, they did not need to continue to fight against the court. But now Liu Yu not only had to face some hungry people who could not survive but had to face those rebel bandit leaders with political purposes. People from the Huai King were secretly interfering and providing support for these rebel weapons and equipment. After all, iron weapons are still fewer among the people, and they can't kill the enemy with a kitchen knife, and it is not suitable to fight against regular troops. The weapons used by the rebels are basically used by local regiments to train used old weapons in warehouses. Some even use farming equipment such as iron pestles and shovels as weapons as weapons, and they don't need to be advanced. They rely on a breath of energy to rush up and grab them, gathered back to distribute the food, and then prepared for the next robbery.

Many county towns were closed after the rebels were affected, so even in the severely affected areas, many cities were still under the absolute jurisdiction of the court. There are only two development directions for local rebellion. One is to continue to move northward and advance northward in central Guanzhong. This road is full of difficulties. First, it is to approach Chang'an City at the foot of the emperor, and the forces of local regiment training are also prepared. The attacks they face are more severe, so many county towns are also allowed to enter. Second, it is to develop southward, that is, Hanzhong. This road is also full of thorns. After all, there are natural barriers between Hanzhong and Guanzhong, and some dangerous passes and key passes cannot be broken by ordinary rebel peasant soldiers.

Now the counties that can be looted in the local area have been plundered by the rebels. In order to survive, the rebels continue to expand their scale, and now, in order to survive, the rebels have focused more on the landlord manors under the high walls outside the county town. Therefore, at this time, the rebellions were mostly confrontation between landlord armed forces and refugee armed forces. In these manors, there were weapons, food, people and wealth, which were Feng Shui treasure lands that ordinary people dared not think of before, and were like paradise. Now they have organizations and those who take the lead, they are more afraid. Anyway, they are starving to death. It is better to fight with these landlord classes who are usually arrogant.

Some landlords were forcibly breached, either from the main gate or from the surrounding high walls. In short, these victims also had their own ways. After forcibly breached, the people inside were killed, and most women were not spared from the insults of beasts. This is also related to the hatred mentality of the two classes on weekdays. However, the methods used in some areas are relatively mild. In order to avoid the disaster, many landlords took the initiative to take out food to help local rebellious forces. On the one hand, they could help them develop and strengthen their forces, and set up conditions for non-aggression. In this way, the other party's indulgence in the rebellion also led to the rebellion developing very quickly.

In fact, what Liu Yu is most concerned about is the situation of Nanyang Gan that was originally grown in the local area. Judging from the efforts of the imperial court's extensive development, many places only planted this type of crop, and now there are about two months left before the harvest season. No one cares about the large-scale Nanyang Gan in the field. Obviously, the victims did not think that the imperial court promoted anything good, and the Nanyang Gan seedlings were not delicious. They just thought that the imperial court encouraged them to plant some useless grass during the disaster year. This made Liu Yu feel very distressed when he saw Nanyang Gan abandoned in the field.
