    While the Sui army's counter-rebellion armies were progressing smoothly, Huang Mingyuan's main force was approaching the heart of Han Dynasty King Yang Liang, preparing for the final decisive battle.

    After Huang Mingyuan occupied Puban City, he spent a day repairing it.  On September 9, Huang Mingyuan handed over Puban City to Cui Hongsheng, who arrived from Zheng County, and ordered him to stick to Puzhou and lead his main force of 45,000 cavalry and infantry to the north.

    Another branch of the Sui army, Shi Xiang, also crossed the Yellow River from the direction of Fenglingdu, defeated thousands of Han rebels who stayed here, and occupied the Yellow River ferry.  Shi Xiangnai was ordered to go northeast along Shoushan and Baiti Mountains (today's Zhongtiao Mountains), and successively occupied Yanchi (today's Yuncheng Yanchi), Anyi County, and Xia County, and cleared out the southern rebels in Puzhou.

    Huang Mingyuan¡¯s main force of tens of thousands headed north in a mighty way.  The main force has not yet left the territory of Puzhou, and for more than 800 miles from Puban City to Jinyang, the rebels along the way are already in panic, and everyone in the grass and trees is fleeing.

    On the 11th, the Sui army descended on Wenxi City.

    On the evening of the 12th, the main force of the Sui army came to Jinzhou City. Pei Wen'an, the governor of Jinzhou, ordered his people to close the city gate tightly and hold on tight, preparing to fight stubbornly.

    Jinzhou¡¯s garrison is insufficient to attack, but if we choose to attack the city, it will take several days.  Huang Mingyuan was worried that the rebels of the Han Dynasty would block Queshu Valley, so he ordered Shi Xiang to lead 2,000 people to surround Jinzhou and take charge of the military affairs of Jinzhou, Jiangzhou and Luzhou. He also ordered Duan Wenchao and Yang Wanxiang to each  Lead two thousand people to surround Jiangzhou and Luzhou to prevent the three states from causing chaos behind the army.

    Huang Mingyuan planned to bypass these cities that refused to surrender and go directly to Jinyang.

    Army generals Cui Peng, Dugu Lan and others were all shocked.  Dugu Lan directly said: "The King of Han has been running Hedong for a long time. Although he is rebellious, there are countless rebels in the land east of Hedong. Now the general manager has tens of thousands of soldiers to fight against the Han King's rebel army of more than 100,000 soldiers. It is inherently difficult. Today  The general ordered the army to bypass the city and go deep into the city alone. If there is a slight setback, the whole army will be endangered. If it falls, there will be no way forward or retreat."

    Others also commented one after another, mainly saying that although the King of Han defeated Puzhou, his foundation was not damaged, and he still had more than 100,000 elite troops under his command, so he was not vulnerable.  Huang Mingyuan's move was actually a life-or-death strategy, which was too dangerous.

    Huang Mingxiang also suggested that Huang Mingyuan fight steadily, attack the enemy side by side, and at the same time wait for the soldiers from Bashu, Guanxi, Guanzhong and other places.

    Although everyone's suggestions are sound, the whole army will push forward step by step, which can buy enough time for the army, but it also gives the King of Han enough time to prepare. Huang Mingyuan does not want to fight a tough battle in Jinyang that will take several months.  .

    Chen Yuan also believed that Huang Mingyuan could choose to rush in at this time, and Han Wang Yang Liang would be unprepared.

    Huang Mingyuan said to everyone: "Today the King of Han has suffered a new defeat, the morale of the army is unstable, and civil strife continues. This is the time when morale is at its lowest. Our army marches straight in, attacking the heart of the King of Han. The King of Han will be unprepared and rush to fight. Our army will  It can be a great victory. If the troops were to attack Jinzhou City at this time, although the rear would be stabilized, it would also give the King of Han the opportunity to rectify the morale of the army and mobilize the troops. By then, the two sides would fight fiercely along the way, probably hundreds of miles from Jinzhou to Bingzhou.  The land is all scorched earth.¡±

    After Huang Mingyuan explained to everyone, he ordered everyone to break camp and go north.  He had no obligation to explain to everyone, but he was just afraid that everyone's opposition would disrupt the morale of the army.

    No one dared to refuse, so they immediately broke camp and headed north early the next morning.

    Huang Mingyuan¡¯s counter-rebellion army weathered the wind and rain without stopping. On the morning of the 15th, the main force of the Sui army entered Queshu Valley.

    Queshu Valley is a dangerous pass spanning dozens of miles between Jiexiu and Huoyi.  The implication is that it is so rugged and steep that only birds and rats can fly over it. It is the only way to march from Jinzhou to Taiyuan via Lingshi and Jiexiu.

    Huang Mingyuan stationed the main force at Gaobiling in the southeast of Lingshi County, waiting for the arrival of the Han army.

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? off out Huang Mingyuan's sudden stop and said bluntly that the army must get out of the Queshu Valley before the Han rebels, otherwise they will be blocked in the valley by the Han rebels, fearing that they will be in a dilemma.  Why did the General Manager do the opposite today?

    Even Chen Yuan was confused.

    Huang Mingyuan said to Chen Yuan: "The King of Han has more than 100,000 troops, all of whom are elites. If we stick to Jiezhou and our army is small, how can we win? Now our army is stationed in Queshu Valley, where the rebels of the King of Han are coming.  , it is bound to block the roads everywhere and disperse the troops. Moreover, the roads in the valley are narrow, making it inconvenient for large armies to deploy. No matter how many soldiers the Han rebels have, they will inevitably be able to deploy long formations, making it difficult to concentrate their forces to fight. By then, part of our army will be here  If we stand in a stalemate with the rebels of the King of Han, and one of them gets behind the rebels of the King of Han, we will surely annihilate them all."

    Queshu Valley is conducive to having fewer troops but not having more troops. The best arrangement is for 20,000 to 30,000 people to set up defenses based on the terrain, which can block hundreds of thousands of troops  But once there are more soldiers, those people are actually on the front line, and the rest become a burden.

    After hearing this, Chen Yuan exclaimed: "My lord, the divine calculation is far behind."

    After Huang Mingyuan stationed troops in Shuque Valley, Han Wang Yang Liang, who was far away in Jinyang, also got the news.  Yang Liang's heart was like five thunders, and he was in panic all day long.

    At this time, Wang Kun persuaded Yang Liang to send a large army to block the Queshu Valley to resist the Sui army. As for the prefectures and counties south of the Queshu Valley, they had no choice but to ask for more blessings.  Moreover, Yang Liang and others did not know that Huang Mingyuan had bypassed Jiangzhou and Jinzhou and headed straight for Jinyang City. They only thought that Huang Mingyuan was very fast and mighty. In a few days, he had defeated all the enemies in Jiangzhou and Jinzhou along the way.  States and counties.

    Yang Liang followed Wang Kun's suggestion and appointed the veteran general Zhao Zikai as the commander-in-chief of Jinzhou's march, leading more than 80,000 people straight to Queshu Valley.

    Queshu Valley is naturally dangerous. Once it is heavily defended, the Sui army will have to leap over.

    At this time, the Sui army, which was stationed in Queshu Valley, heard that the rebels of the Han Dynasty had marched towards Queshu Valley, and they all approached Huang Mingyuan with requests to leave the valley and set up formations before the opponent arrived, but Huang Mingyuan refused.

    Zhao Zikai is a veteran general in the army. He was born in the Zhao family of Tianshui. He followed Wei Xiaokuan in the campaign against Wei Chijun's rebellion, and later served as the governor of Yuzhou, the general manager of Daizhou, and the general manager of the march.  Although Zhao Zikai was not a famous general, he was cautious and carefully arranged his marches and battles. Although he did not win a big victory, he also did not suffer a big defeat.

    Yang Liang valued Zhao Zikai's stability, so he ordered him to lead troops to resist Huang Mingyuan.  Yang Liang's rebels have suffered repeated defeats, and he no longer dares to take the initiative.

    After Zhao Zi received the order, he hurriedly and slowly arrived at Queshu Valley.  However, I was shocked when I heard that the Sui army had arrived in the valley and was stationed in camp.  Zhao Zikai also heard about Huang Mingyuan's name, but he had never met Huang Mingyuan.  He did not doubt Huang Mingyuan's ability, so he did not dare to fight. Instead, he sent troops to occupy all the roads around Queshu Valley, blocked the mountain trails with fences, and stationed the main camp at Gaobiling.  The battle formation attempted to use the high mountains and heavy troops to completely prevent Huang Mingyuan's troops from being killed.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
