Chapter 1241 Give me a reason

As the front line filled with smoke and wars, the rear of the Great Zhou finally couldn't hold back.

In the past winter, the people of Dazhou who lived in suffering accumulated their anger and resentment towards the aristocratic families little by little in their hearts, like a trickle of water, gathering into a volcano, ready to erupt and destroy everything at any time.

The war finally found the eruption point.

On May 10, the fierce general Qin Qiong led the Fourth Corps of the Hu Ben Army. After a series of fighting, he took the lead from the west to break through the Danyang Army's defense line and entered the hinterland of the eastern Shandong Province.

Once the gap is opened, it will never be blocked.

In the next few days, the Second Legion led by Hongying and the Third Legion led by Zhao She broke through the defense line of Shandong's eastern province from the east and followed it into the hinterland.

The left and right wings made contributions one after another, which made Sun Bin calm and calmly command the First Legion and the Fifth Legion, standing in the middle, dragging the main force of the Danyang Army, and confronting each other.

According to Sun Bin's plan, the left and right wings were arranged to encircle Pengcheng, and then cooperate with the central army to encircle the Danyang army, and then gradually encroach on the enemy and force it into a desperate situation.

Although the Danyang Army had a convenient location, Tian Dan was also a famous general. However, his strength was not good. More importantly, the army lacked food and grass and could not last long.

It was precisely because of the weakness of the enemy's army that Sun Bin adopted the siege tactic. After a long confrontation, when the only food and grass in Pengcheng were exhausted, the Danyang army had no choice but to surrender.

But what happened next completely changed the direction of war.

After the two wings broke through the defense line, they did two things. One was to continue to expand the results of the battle, cooperate internally and externally, expand the opening of the opening, and then completely destroy the entire section of the enemy's fortifications to relieve their worries.

The second is to send vanguard troops to capture the cities around Pengcheng and establish strongholds.

On May 13, the First Division of the Fourth Army of the Tiger Ben Army, as the left-wing vanguard unit, was ordered to come to Xia Pi City to capture the city and serve as the left-wing advance base.

Xia Pi City is located in the northwest corner of Pengcheng and is a must-pass place to Pengcheng. Although it is just a county town, the city is strong and there are 6,000 Danyang troops stationed in the city, which is not so easy to capture.

The result was beyond everyone's expectations.

At 9:00 a.m., the First Division launched an attack on Xia Pi City.

The shaking battle spread from the top of the city to the city, arousing the already restlessness of the people in the city.

Near noon, just as the two armies were fighting, a group of "mobs" suddenly rushed into the county yard, injured the yamen runners, seized the county magistrate, and raised the banner to resist the Great Zhou.

Affected by this, the entire Xia Pi City was in chaos.

The sudden riots spread rapidly around with the county government as the center. Seeing that the county government was invaded, more and more people joined the riots, opened the granary and ransacked the shops.

As the riot spread to the area near the city wall, the Danyang defenders were panicked. They didn't know whether to suppress the riot first or defend the city first.

Seeing this, the Daxia army launched a more fierce attack.

The Danyang Army suffered heavy losses without logistical support. The two sides fought fiercely until 3:00 pm. The surviving Danyang defenders were forced to surrender.

Xia Pi City was conquered by Daxia in one day, and its biggest contributor was the mob at the beginning. The Great Zhou Dynasty finally paid the price for their cruel rule and tasted the consequences.

And this is just the beginning.

The Xia Pi Rebellion was like a small flame, completely igniting the anger accumulated by the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty for a winter. Inspired by this, more than ten riots occurred in the eastern Shandong province within a day.

Affected by this, all the cities and ponds descended from the wind wherever the Daxia army went.

Upon receiving the news, Sun Bin made a quick decision and ordered the army on both sides of the left and right to not besiege Pengcheng, but immediately rushed to the north and took advantage of the rare "people's hearts" to conquer the entire eastern Lu area.

I have to say that Sun Bin's decision was very wise.

In the next week, the army of the Tiger and Ben Army, on both sides, plunged into the hinterland of the eastern Shandong province like two giant dragons, responding to the riots in various places and conquering one city after another.

The riots provided help to the Daxia army's siege. The arrival of the Daxia army inspired the riots and shocked the county and county governments and local garrisons. The two promoted each other, like snowballing, quickly conquered most of the territory in eastern Lu at the speed of counting cities a day.

Later, given the good war situation, the army on the left and right wings divided again, quickly advancing northward with divisions, and the siege speed increased greatly.

By May 20, except for the surrounding areas of Pengcheng, the entire eastern Shandong province had already returned to Daxia.

The sudden change came too suddenly. Chunshenjun was so scared that his face was pale. He gritted his teeth and simply ordered the main force of the Danyang Army to retreat into Pengcheng.

Then, Chunshenjun took the initiative to contact Ouyang Shuo and requested to join Daxia.

Looking at Chunshenjun in the video, Ouyang Shuo looked complicated. Chunshenjun, who was once arrogant and regarded him as his mortal enemy, was only respect.

The nature of a businessman allows Chunshenjun to quickly let go of his pride.

This call not only concerns the fate of Chunshenjun, but also the fate of the entire family. If Ouyang Shuo insists on not accepting Chunshenjun's support, it will undoubtedly be a disaster for their family.

Their six years of efforts have all turned into a bubble.

"Give me a reason to accept your support." Ouyang Shuo said lightly.

Chunshenjun's heart trembled and said with a forced smile: "The main force of the Danyang Army is still there. If we defend Pengcheng to the death, Daxia will also pay a huge price. Both sides will suffer losses. This is something you don't want to see?"

Ouyang Shuo smiled, "This may not be the case. I wonder how many days is the food in Pengcheng? Ten days or five days?"

"this……"

Chunshen Jun was stagnant again, knowing that he could not show weakness at this time, otherwise the only bargaining chip would be gone. He swallowed his saliva and said calmly: "As long as you stick to it, there will always be a solution."

"This reason is not enough." Ouyang Shuo shook his head directly.

Chunshen Jun was helpless and knew that there was no capital to bargain with Ouyang Shuo now. Ouyang Shuo said that it was not enough, so he thought for a while and then said: "As long as Pengcheng is not broken, the possibility of Qin, Tang and Song supporting Handan cannot be ruled out. Accept my surrender, the Battle of Great Zhou will be no longer variable."

After hearing this, Ouyang Shuo nodded.

The Hu Ben Army was in an unstoppable situation in the battlefield in eastern Shandong. The Hedong Army passed the Northern Frontier Army in Kyoto Province, but was very cautious and still dealt with the Great Zhou Imperial Army around the border.

There are two reasons.

First, the Kyoto Province is the foundation of the Great Zhou Dynasty, with relatively good welfare and stable people's hearts. Even if a large-scale riot broke out in the eastern Shandong province, the Kyoto Province is already very calm.

Second, it is because of the concern that the Three Kingdoms coalition forces reinforced Handan.

In order not to fall into the enemy's trap, the two armies could only make steady progress and would never dare to advance quickly.
