    It was not easy for Feng Gongxiao and Su Jin to regain their power. The main reason was that Zhang Wenyuan controlled the military power, making them unable to deal with Zhang Wenyuan.

    Feng Gongxiao and Su Jin decided to join forces with the hussar general Bao Gong and take the risk.

    After the rebellion of the King of Han, Zhang Wenyuan also knew that the tide was surging in Zezhou City, and many people were preparing to kill him to welcome the rebels of the King of Han into the city.

    Zhang Wenyuan did remember how Huang Mingyuan dealt with Liang Xing and others in Datong City, so he deliberately weakened his position and gave Feng Gong a chance to show his loyalty to the party.  After Feng Gongxiao and Bao Gong led their troops to show off their cards against Zhang Wenyuan, Zhang Wenyuan immediately ordered Xu Huzi to lead a counterattack, and successfully captured Feng Gongxiao, Su Jin, and Bao Gong.

    At this time, any emphasis on issues such as appeasement and suppression was already futile. Zhang Wenyuan was not merciful and directly ordered Feng Gongxiao, Su Jin, and Bao Gong to be killed on charges of treason. Together with their families, Zhang Wenyuan directly ordered generals to be killed.  The barbarians were destroyed, and the chickens were killed to scare the monkeys.

    In an instant, heads were being killed, and Zezhou City was immediately frightened.  Although the wealthy families were dissatisfied with Zhang Wenyuan, no one dared to take advantage of it.  It is in this moment of turmoil that the traditional legal constraints are reduced to the lowest level. No matter how noble and prominent you are, your death is really in vain.

    At this point, Zhang Wenyuan has all the rights in Zezhou.

    At this time, Zhang Wenyuan also received news that the main force of the Han Dynasty's rebels was coming. Zhang Wenyuan immediately decided to go to Changping Pass (forty miles south of today's Gaoguanzi County, Shanxi) to defend against the enemy.  Zezhou is full of basins, and only Changping Pass is the best place to stop it.  Moreover, Changping Guanxiao is full of troops, which is conducive to defense.  If this battle is really fought in Zezhou, who knows where the hidden enemy is?

    Zhang Wenyuan ordered all the troops in the state, a total of more than 4,000 people, to follow him northward, and the city of Zezhou was handed over to Zezhou Governor Shi Gao Xiaoda.  In fact, Zhang Wenyuan knew very well that the Han Dynasty's rebellion would not last long, so he wanted to completely block the Han Dynasty rebels outside Changping Pass.  As for whether anyone in Zezhou City would rebel, or even whether it would fall, he was not worried.  He even hoped that another blind person would jump out so that he could harvest a bunch of heads again.

    And Zezhou itself is Hanoi's last line of defense, and the main force of the rebels must not be able to cross Zezhou.

    Zhang Wenyuan and Xu Huzi led their troops northward, leaving behind an empty Zezhou. Everyone in Zezhou was stunned.  Zhang Wenyuan just gave up on Zezhou?

    "But Zhang Wenyuan took away all the troops. Even if everyone wanted to rebel, they couldn't just pull a group of farmers to rebel temporarily.

    Many people who hold conspiracy theories believe that Zhang Wenyuan is playing hard to get and is worried about the situation, but Zezhou is fine.

    The terrain of Changping Pass is dangerous and it is built on the mountains. The army coming from the south has no other choice but to attack the front, which is a natural danger.  In the original Changping battle between Qin and Zhao, it was Bai Qi who ordered his cavalry to surprise Changping Pass behind Zhao Kuo, and the Zhao army was defeated.

    Zhang Wenyuan guarded Changping Pass with 4,000 troops. Although the number was ten times less than that of Yu Zhengzheng's troops, he was still confident in guarding this place.

    Yu Zhengzhi drove all the way straight to Changping Pass, but Zhang Wenyuan could not get out.

    Yu Zhengli was furious and ordered his men to attack Changping Pass day and night.  The terrain in the Changpingguan area is dangerous, and the Danzhu Ridge directly ahead is narrow and long. The attacking troops can neither spread out the terrain nor effectively avoid the critical blow.  The Han rebels launched more than thirty attacks in the next six days, but they were all repelled by Zhang Wenyuan's troops.  The entire narrow mountain road was covered with corpses. The Han army was bleeding like a river, and it was too horrible to see.

    At this time, in the south of Zhang Wenyuan, Zhou Luohu was also coming with his troops.

    On that day, Zhou Luohu led his troops to garrison the Shaanzhou area eastward to prevent the Han rebels from taking the opportunity to cross the river and occupy Shaanzhou, thus severing the connection between Chang'an and Luoyang.

    But unfortunately, Huang Mingyuan had a good look at the deployment of the Han army. Pei Wen'an's main force was focused on attacking Guanzhong, so he did not deploy troops in the direction of Ruicheng at all.  After Pei Wen'an's defeat, the remaining troops in southern Puzhou dispersed and were all annihilated by Shi Xiang's troops, leaving no troops to cross south.

    It would be meaningless for Zhou Luohu to continue to defend the Yellow River in Shaanzhou, so Huang Mingyuan ordered Zhou Luohu to continue eastward to reinforce Jiguan.

    Zhou Luohu arrived in Luoyang and invited Yuwenshu to go north with him.  But Yu Wenshu was unwilling to go north, so Zhou Luohu had no choice but to lead his army across the river from Mengjin and headed straight for Jiguan.

    At this time, I heard that Empress Chen died of illness in Luoyang, but Zhou Luohu was unable to attend the funeral of Empress Chen because of the march, so Zhou Luohu cried bitterly and wore mourning clothes for Empress Chen for three days.

    Afterwards, Zhou Luohu went north. Hearing that Zezhou had not been lost at this time, he was overjoyed and immediately led his troops to Zezhou.  When Zhou Luohu entered Zezhou City, he found that there was no army in the city. It turned out that all Zezhou troops had been transferred to Changping Pass by Zhang Wenyuan to stop the enemy.  Zhou Luohu¡¯s heartHe was shocked and secretly sighed that Zhang Wenyuan was "very brave and careful, which is rare in reality."

    ? And everyone in the city was relieved to see Zhou Luohu heading north. Fortunately, they didn't take advantage of the lack of troops in the city to cause trouble, otherwise they might not be buried with the King of Han.

    Zhou Luohu led his troops to continue southward and met Zhang Wenyuan at Changping Pass.  At this time, Changping Pass was still firmly in the hands of the Sui army, and Yu Zhengzhi tried his best but could not take a step beyond Changping Pass.

    Changping Pass is narrow. In fact, if you want to defend this place, you only need a few thousand people to stop thousands of troops. This is why Zhang Wenyuan dared to fight here. He didn't even worry about losing Zezhou City, because he knew that as long as  If he holds on to this place, there will definitely be reinforcements.

    But now that Zhou Luohu and tens of thousands of people are heading north, they cannot strengthen the defense in Guanzhong.

    At this time, Zhang Wenyuan proposed a plan to Zhou Luohu. Yu Zhengzhi was unaware of the arrival of reinforcements from the Sui army, and always thought that he would face no more than a few thousand Zezhou troops.  Instead of using the Zezhou army to continue to guard Changping Pass, Zhou Luohu's main force of more than ten thousand people in Guanzhong took the opportunity to maneuver from the flanks to behind Yu Zhengzheng and annihilate his troops.

    There are many mountains at this time, and it seems that there is no road, but in fact there is a road.  Zhang Wenyuan knew a road in a ravine that could perfectly bypass Changping Pass.  Zhang Wenyuan deployed 300 soldiers to form a garrison here, but Yu Zhengzhi did not discover this place.

    "Yu Zhengzhi is reckless and has no strategy. He relies on numbers and is arrogant. He is easily defeated. If he really could have thought of our army going back behind him, he would have taken this path long ago."

    Zhou Luohu agreed with Zhang Wenyuan's judgment, so he followed the plan and quietly led more than 10,000 main troops from dozens of miles to the west into a valley, then followed a shallow and narrow river between two mountains, and indeed came to the Han Dynasty Rebellion.  Behind the army.

    Yu Zhengzheng was concentrating on breaking through Changping Pass, so how could he be prepared for the Sui army appearing behind him.

    That night, the rebels of the Han Dynasty were exhausted from fighting for days and had already slacked off.  In order to facilitate the attack, Yu Zhengzhi divided the camp into two. The main camp was more than 20 miles north of Changping Pass, while the front camp was located in Danzhu Ridge.

    At this time, Yu Zhengzhi was unprepared, so Zhou Luohu went straight to Yu Zhengzhi's main camp.

    Yu Zhengzhi was suddenly attacked and the whole army was in chaos. At this time, there were Sui troops behind and Changping Pass in front. Yu Zongzhi had no way to advance or retreat and was blocked in Danzhu Ridge.

    Yu Zhengzhi fought a bloody night, but Si was unable to break through the Sui army's siege.  Yu Zhengzheng died in battle, and the rest of his troops surrendered.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
