Chapter 54 Section 6 Red Eyebrow Defeated

Besides, Feng Yi, who was dragged into the water by Deng Yu alive, followed Deng Yu's disastrous defeat, separated from the army, abandoned his horse and walked back to Xiban, escaped with his life by chance, returned to the camp with several people under his command, collected scattered soldiers, recruited camp security, They gathered together tens of thousands of people and made an appointment to fight again with the Red Eyebrow Army. Feng Yi selected three thousand strong men, put on the clothes of the Red Eyebrow Army, and ambushed on both sides of the road in advance.At dawn, the Red Eyebrow Army drove tens of thousands of vanguards to fight, and Feng Yi sent thousands of people to meet them.Seeing that Feng Yi was weak, the red-browed army thought that their strength was no more than that, so they tried their best to swallow Feng Yi in one go.Only then did Feng Yi learn that he sent out his army to fight.

Fighting until the sun slanted to the west, the red eyebrow army's energy was weak, Feng Yi's ambush was exhausted, and the clothes were messed up. The red eyebrow army could not recognize them, and the crowd was shocked.Feng Yi pursued all the way, defeated the Red Eyebrow Army at Weidi, and surrendered 80,000 men and women. When the good news came, Liu Xiu was overjoyed, and gave a special edict to comfort Feng Yi, saying: "The red eyebrows broke the level, and the officials worked hard. Although they hung their wings back to the stream at first, they were able to fly their wings to the Strider Pond. It can be said that the east corner was lost, and the mulberry elm was harvested. Fang. Discuss the merits and rewards, and answer Daxun."

In the first month of the twenty-seventh year of AD, Liu Xiu came to Yiyang to sit in the town, waiting for the red eyebrow army to throw themselves into the net. The Red Eyebrow Army was defeated at the end, and there were still more than 100,000 people left in the army, but they had already lost their elites. Coupled with the lack of food, they were more eager to return to the east.When the Red Eyebrow Army marched to Yiyang, they met Liu Xiu who personally reined in the Sixth Army and waited for it. The Red Eyebrow Army was no longer the original Red Eyebrow Army. They were suffering from hunger and cold, and were frightened. When they met the army suddenly, they were shocked and didn't know what to do, so they had to send Liu Gong to negotiate and surrender. Of?"

Liu Xiu replied: "I will treat you with immortal ears." The red-browed army is desperate, and there are only two consequences if they don't surrender, they can either die in battle or starve to death; if they surrender, at least they can save their lives.The leader, Fan Chong, led the emperor Liu Penzi and the prime minister Xu Xuan and more than 30 people to surrender, presenting the Imperial Jade Seal and the Falling Star Sword seized from Liu Xuan.Liu Xiu kept the Jade Seal of the Chuan Kingdom for himself, and buried his elder brother Liu Yan with Luoxingjian. Liu Xiu ordered the soldiers of the Red Eyebrow Army to dismantle all their weapons and armor, and pile them in the west of Yiyang City, as high as Xiong'er Mountain.He also ordered the county cook to give food, so that all the soldiers of the red eyebrow army would have a full meal.

In the early morning of the next day, Liu Xiuda Chen Bingma was on the bank of Luoshui, and ordered the Red Eyebrow Army to watch.Liu Xiu looked at the leaders of the red-browed army provocatively, and said, "Do you regret surrendering? I can let you go back now, return to the camp and rein in the troops, and have a showdown with me, lest you will not be convinced." Among the leaders of the Red Eyebrow Army, Xu Xuan was the only one who could read and respond well, so Xu Xuan was recommended to answer.Xu Xuan kowtowed and said: "Your ministers will go out of the East Capital Gate of Chang'an. The monarchs and ministers will discuss and return to the holy virtue. The people can succeed with happiness, but it is difficult to start with the picture, so I don't tell the public. If you have to surrender today, it is like going to the tiger's mouth to return to your loving mother. Sincerely Be happy and have nothing to hate.”

Seeing Xu Xuan's answer, Liu Xiu's words were impressive, and he laughed and said, "Your so-called iron is the best among mediocrities." He also pointed to the leaders of the red eyebrow army, and said, "You are so immoral. Wherever you go, destroy the old and the weak, drown the community, and pollute the wells and stoves. However, there are still three virtues: breaking down cities and traveling all over the world, and the old wives and wives remain unchanged. This is the first virtue; The rest of the thieves established themselves as kings, and when they were in a hurry, they all held their heads and surrendered, thinking of themselves as meritorious, and the lords alone paid me completely, which is the three virtues." So all the soldiers of the red eyebrow army were collected, and the leaders of the red eyebrow army and their wives were placed in Luoyang. Each person is given a house and two hectares of land.

This summer, Fan Chong and Pang An rebelled and were executed.When Yang Yin was in Chang'an, he was kind to Liu Xiu's uncle Liu Liang, so he was granted the title of Marquis of Guannei, and returned to his hometown with Xu Xuan.Xie Lu was stabbed to death by Liu Gong to avenge Liu Xuan.Liu Xiu pitied Liu Gongzhi's righteousness, pardoned but not punished. As for Liu Penzi, the emperor who was supported by the Red Eyebrow Army, Liu Xiu saw that he was young and ignorant, and felt very sorry for him, so he was rewarded quite generously and named Zhao Wang Langzhong.Liu Penzi lost his eyesight in the future, and Liu Xiu specially set aside a piece of land in Xingyang, built it as a market, and supported Liu Penzi for life with the tax of the market.

The red-browed army, which had been vertical and horizontal for a while, was wiped out in ashes. Its scale is huge and its disaster is fierce. It has never been seen before, and it is rare in the future.The astonishing treasures stolen by the Red Eyebrow Army from the imperial tombs of the Western Han Dynasty disappeared mysteriously with the disappearance of the Red Eyebrow Army, becoming a major mystery in Chinese history. After the red eyebrow army was destroyed, Liu Xiu's army withdrew to Luoyang and began to fully manage the Central Plains.The entire Guanzhong area was entrusted to Feng Yi with full authority.

Although the Red Eyebrow Army had gone, Guanzhong was still in chaos: Yancen was in Lantian, Wang Xin was in Xiagui, Fangdan was in Xinfeng, Jiang Zhen was in Baling, Zhang Han was in Chang'an, Gongsun was in Changling, Yang Zhou According to Taniguchi, Lu Tuan according to Chencang, Jiaohong according to Jian, Ren Liang according to Gu, Ruzhang according to Huaili, each called a general, with more than ten thousand soldiers and thousands of fewer, they turned to attack.Among them, Yancen is the most powerful and ambitious. He claims to be the king of Wu'an, worships Mushou, and intends to dominate Guanzhong for himself.

Feng Yi fought and marched, stationed in Shanglinyuan.Yancen led Zhang Han and Ren Liang to attack Feng Yi, who defeated Feng Yi and beheaded more than a thousand ranks.Yan Cen was defeated and went to attack and analyze, Feng Yi pursued and defeated them, sending down more than 8,000 men.Yancen was so devastated that he escaped from Wuguan to Nanyang and escaped from Guanzhong.Since then, Feng Yi has shocked Guanzhong, and heroes from all directions have surrendered one after another. Feng Yi's foundation in Guanzhong gradually strengthened, and his army was prosperous day by day, so he punished heroes who did not obey orders, and rewarded those who had meritorious deeds, and dispatched his generals to Luoyang, scattered them all to their own business, and worked in farming and mulberry fields, and Guanzhong was flattened .Shu Emperor Gongsun Shu always had the heart of plotting Guanzhong, and sent troops to attack several times, but Feng Yi defeated them all.

Feng Yi was in charge of Guanzhong, Huaifu prefectures and counties. He applied for reason in vain. He was three years old and went to Lincheng.
