    When Huang Mingyuan defeated Pei Wen'an and occupied Puban City, several other armies of Han King Yang Liang also suffered major blows to varying degrees.  The original plan for fifty states to join forces to oppose Chang'an actually resulted in only nineteen states responding to Yang Liang's call, which dealt a heavy blow to Yang Liang's party.  Coupled with the defeat of all the troops, the originally confusing situation began to become clearer.

    The entire imperial court¡¯s counter-rebellion army, apart from Huang Mingyuan¡¯s main force in Guanzhong, the second most important one is the three general offices of Fengzhou, Daizhou and Shuozhou located in northern Xinjiang.  Originally, Yang Guang was worried that the northern states would rebel, but Liang Mo, Li Jing, and Zheng Yanqing, all of whom had Huang Mingyuan as guarantee, would not respond. Yang Guang then issued an order to the Third General Manager to mobilize troops to attack the rebels.

    Yang Liang also saw the importance of the three general administrations in the north. They can raid Bingzhou from behind at any time and threaten Yang Liang's rear area. This is the biggest hidden danger to his power at present.

    Yang Liang raised his troops and recruited all states and counties to rebel.  Li Jing, who was from his former army, not only did not raise troops to respond, he actually chose to kill the envoys, kill the rebellious people in the army, and attack Yang Liang.  Li Jing's actions made Yang Liang furious, so Yang Liang sent general Liu Song to attack Li Jing, and ordered Qiao Zhongkui, the general manager of Shizhou, to lead 30,000 elite troops to attack Daizhou.

    At this time, the Shizhou Governor's Mansion has been short of troops since the defeat of Han Hongheng'an Town, and the troops lost in the previous Northern Expedition have not been replenished.  Later, when the Anbei Protectorate was built, the imperial court transferred a group of veterans from Daizhou. At this time, Li Jing could only command a few thousand elite troops, and the total strength was only over 10,000.

    Huang Meng, the governor of Daizhou, was Huang Mingyuan's third uncle. In the past, Li Jing respected him quite a lot because of Huang Mingyuan.  At this time, the rebels of the Han Dynasty came to the city. Huang Meng handed over all the troops and horses that the state government could mobilize to Li Jing, while he organized the people in the city to prepare to hold on.

    Liu Song, who came from afar, had less than 10,000 troops and was stationed in the east of Daizhou City.

    Li Jing ordered people to build a high platform in the east of the city, and ordered elite crossbowmen to climb up the high platform and draw their bows and arrows to shoot at the rebels. Liu Song's troops fell to death one after another, and their morale dropped sharply.

    After a day of fierce fighting between the two forces, Liu Song suffered heavy losses.

    Liu Song was unable to defeat him, so he retreated for more than twenty miles.

    At night, Li Jing ordered his brave general Daizhou Hussar General Liu Yunfang to lead more than a thousand elite cavalry to attack Liu Song's army.

    These more than a thousand cavalrymen were all veterans who had participated in the Northern Expedition.  The force was as powerful as a mountain and Liu Song was unable to defeat him. The entire army collapsed and was swept back by Liu Yunfang. Liu Song himself also died in the fighting.

    Liu Song died, and his troops fled south and were annexed by Qiao Zhongkui, the general manager of Shizhou.

    Qiao Zhongkui was an old general in the Northern Zhou Dynasty. Although he was not well-known at that time when there were many famous generals, he also experienced dozens of large and small battles such as conquering Qi, destroying Chen, and conquering Turks in the north, and accumulated meritorious service to the Zhu Kingdom. In fact, Qiao Zhongkui was Yang Liang.  His first general.

    During the Northern Expedition, Qiao Zhongkui¡¯s relationship with Huang Mingyuan was not good because he was born in Bingzhou, and both sides were wary of each other.

    However, during the Northern Expedition, whether it was the decisive battle against Bujia Khan, the rescue of Dong Chun, or even the battle against Weilu City.  Every time Qiao Zhongkui faced the enemy, he risked his own life and fought bravely, finally winning Huang Yuan's trust and friendship.

    When the Han King Yang Liang rebelled, Huang Mingyuan wrote a special letter to Qiao Zhongkui in Chang'an, telling him to stay rational and act cautiously and not to follow the Han King in rebellion.

    Qiao Zhongkui thought about it again and again. Although he was not convinced by Huang Mingyuan, he was still full of hesitation.

    However, the soldiers and horses of Shizhou and Lanzhou are all close followers of the King of Han.  Although Qiao Zhongkui wanted to be neutral, due to his relationship with the King of Han and being coerced by the generals in the state, he finally chose to follow Yang Liang in rebellion.  Huang Mingyuan later heard that Qiao Zhongkui had followed the Han Dynasty in rebellion, and he lamented that the court had lost a good general.

    At that time, when the King of Han rebelled, everyone in Lanzhou threatened to obey, but Tao Mo, the Sima of Lanzhou, opposed it.

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? together out of Tao Mo said to everyone: "The Han King Yang Liang has evil intentions. You are favored by the country and should serve the country wholeheartedly. How can you get into trouble?"

    Qiao Zhongkui¡¯s expression changed several times after hearing this. The generals also threatened the pottery model with weapons, and some even shouted, ¡°Is Sima going to rebel?¡±

    But Tao Mo remained unmoved in the face of the crowd's intimidation, and he did not give in to his words or deeds.

    Qiao Zhongkui admired Tao Mo in his heart and did not want to kill Tao Mo. However, all his generals demanded that Tao Mo be killed to sacrifice the flag, saying, "If I don't kill Tao Mo, I won't be able to convince everyone."

    Qiao Zhongkui had no choice but to resist the pressure of everyone and choose to imprison him.

    After Qiao Zhongkui rebelled in Lanzhou, he received Yang Liang's order and diverted to Daizhou before he had time to join Bingzhou.

    "Compared to the average level of Liu Song, Qiao Zhongkui's level isMuch higher.

    Qiao Zhongkui knew that Li Jingnai was a good general and Daizhou's defense was complete.  Therefore, after the troops arrived in Daizhou, they did not take the initiative to engage in battle with Li Jing. Instead, they dug deep trenches, built fortifications, and built equipment under Daizhou City.

    Li Jing in the city also knew that Daizhou City was isolated in the north, and who knew when reinforcements would arrive.  Therefore, in order to ensure the connection between Daizhou and the outside world, Qiao Zhongkui could not be allowed to complete the blockade of Daizhou City so easily, so he sent troops several times to attack Qiao Zhongkui's fortifications.  But Qiao Zhongkui had already taken precautions. Every time the Daizhou Army attacked, Qiao Zhongkui shot back with a powerful bow and crossbow.

    Li Jing suffered from insufficient troops and had no choice but to hold on.

    Although Daizhou is an important town in the North, it has a sparse population and insufficient resources due to poverty, including not many young people.  Huang Meng simply could not recruit enough young men to participate in the defense of the city, so even women and children were mobilized.  After Qiao Zhongkui outside the city was fully prepared, he ordered his subordinates to push the ladder, set up the crossbow and trebuchet, and attack Daizhou City.

    Daizhou is an important border defense town and the city wall is relatively strong, but it cannot stop Qiao Zhongkui's sharp attack. Ballistas and artillery carts bombard the Daizhou city wall day and night.  Several parts of the Daizhou city wall collapsed and were destroyed by bombardment, so Li Jing had to build the city while fighting.

    Qiao Zhongkui¡¯s troops attacked the city of Daizhou several times and started street battles with the Daizhou army.  The soldiers in the city all fought desperately against the enemy, severely defeating the enemy's strength time and time again, and then managed to hold on to Daizhou City.

    Because Daizhou is a border county, even civil servants can kill the enemy with a sword.  Daizhou's Sima Feng Xiaoci and Fa Cao's military officer Lu Yu were very brave and good at fighting. The third commander of Yitong, Mo Chenyi, was good at making plans and defensive tactics. Together with the governor Huang Meng and the hussar general Liu Yunfang, the small Daizhou city was  The defense was watertight.

    Li Jing understood that the officers and soldiers could be used with confidence, and he treated them sincerely and no longer participated in anything. He only sat in the Chinese army tent and only went out to patrol occasionally to appease the soldiers to calm the morale of the army.

    " When the soldiers and civilians in Daizhou City saw Li Jing's posture, they felt at ease.  Li Jing even told everyone that reinforcements from Fengzhou, Shuozhou and other places were on the way. The morale of the soldiers and civilians was even higher, and they were more determined to defend the city.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
