    At that time, Hanzhou, Luzhou, Jinzhou, and Luzhou were all under attack. Jiangzhou could be said to be the last battle to suppress the rebellion. Zhou Luohu's death in Jiangzhou was really an accident.

    That day, after Zhou Luohu and Zhang Wenyuan defeated Yu Zhengzhi, they sent their troops north to attack Luzhou.  Luzhou is located in the heart of the Shangdang Basin, rich in products and strategically located. It is the most fertile land in Hedong after Bingzhou.

    When Liang Bodhisattva, the governor of Luzhou, saw Yu Zongzheng¡¯s head, he was so frightened that he lost his mind and felt terrified.  At this time, news of the destruction of Jinyang City also came from the north, and Liang Bodhisattva's only thought of waiting for reinforcements was shattered.  Liang Bodhisattva obviously did not want to be buried for Han King Yang Liang, so he made up his mind and decided to surrender to the counter-rebellion army.

    On October 4, Liang Bodhisattva led his troops to surrender to Zhou Luohu, and Luzhou was restored.

    The next day, Zhou Luohu continued to lead his troops north to Hanzhou.

    At the same time, Liang Mo and Duan Wenzhen, who were going south from Jinyang, also went south to Hanzhou with a letter of surrender from Han Wang Yang Liang.  The two sides met at the foot of Hanzhou City.

    Wei Daozheng, the governor of Hanzhou, saw that the king of Han had surrendered, so it was meaningless for him to continue to resist.  Regardless of surrender or city destruction, as a traitor, Wei Daozheng is a dead man.  Therefore, Wei Dao committed suicide by hanging a beam in the backyard of the state government office, and ordered the civil and military officials in the city to surrender to the anti-rebellion army.

    On October 6, Hanzhou officials opened the city gates and surrendered to the counter-rebellion army, and Hanzhou was restored.

    Among the generals, regardless of status or official position, Zhou Luohu was the leader.  At this time, Zheng Yanqing, Li Jing and others were besieging Jinzhou, so Zhou Luohu decided to head west to join forces with Zheng Yanqing and others.

    Zhou Luohu's army marched westward. On October 15th, Zhou Luohunai, Zheng Yanqing, Li Jing and others met at the foot of Jinzhou City.

    At this time, Jinzhou had not yet recovered, and Zheng Yanqing and Li Jing had been besieging Jinzhou for several days.

    The governor of Jinzhou was Pei Wen'an. Although Zheng Yanqing had already persuaded Pei Wen'an to surrender with the letter of surrender from the King of Han, Pei Wen'an seemed to be determined to die and resisted stubbornly, refusing to surrender until death.

    "Perhaps Pei Wen'an was really disappointed with Yang Liang, so he directly executed the official of the King of Han who held the letter of persuasion to surrender.  He also knew that his final fate would be to destroy the city and die, but Pei Wen'an was very unwilling to do so. Therefore, although a moth was rushing to the flame and a mantis' arm was like a chariot, Pei Wen'an remained determined.

    After Pei Wen'an withdrew his troops from Pu Ban, he knew that the defeat of the Han Dynasty was only a matter of time. Therefore, after Pei Wen'an arrived in Jinzhou, he ordered the reinforcement of the city wall, recruited civilians, and accumulated grain and grass to prepare for a protracted war with Huang Mingyuan in Jinzhou.  Who would have thought that his wish would not come true, Huang Mingyuan walked around Jinzhou City, and actually chose to bypass Jinzhou and go north.

    Pei Wen'an only had a few thousand men at his disposal. He had more than enough to defend the city but not enough to attack, so he had to watch Huang Mingyuan go north.

    Later, Shi Xiang led his troops to besiege Jinzhou, but they also stayed in the camp and could not leave.  Pei Wen'an repeatedly attacked, trying to pull out this nail, but he was still unable to break through Shi Xiang's camp.  Shi Xiang clung to Jinzhou City like a piece of brown candy.  If Pei Wen'an wants to pursue Huang Mingyuan, if he leads more soldiers, Shi Xiang will attack Jinzhou City in turn; if he leads fewer soldiers, Shi Xiang will take the opportunity to attack the attacking troops.

    Pei Wen'an and Shi Xiang battled wits and courage, but in the end there was no way to defeat the enemy.

    This battle lasted for more than ten days until the king of Han surrendered.

    Zheng Yanqing led his troops south and joined forces with Shi Xiang at the foot of Jinzhou City. Their strength completely overwhelmed Jinzhou City.  It's a pity that Pei Wen'an was not afraid at all, but instead made up his mind to stick to it.

    After Pei Wen'an killed the officials of the Han Dynasty sent by Zheng Yanqing, Zheng Yanqing sent people to find Pei Wen'an's wife and asked her to persuade Pei Wen'an to surrender.

    Pei Wen'an's wife came to Jinzhou City and said loudly to Pei Wen'an: "The king of Han is unrighteous and has already perished. Why do you bring trouble on yourself?"

    Pei Wen'an said: "The affairs of the world are not something women can know." Then he drew his bow and shot at his wife. His wife was hit by the arrow and fell down.

    The generals in the city were shocked when they saw this. They knew that Pei Wen'an was determined, so no one dared to persuade him.

    Seeing that there was no hope of persuading him to surrender, Zheng Yanqing decided to attack Jinzhou City.  However, Zheng Yanqing did not want the ants to attack the city and cause heavy casualties to the army, so he dug a trench outside Jinzhou City and prepared to trap Jinzhou City.  He also ordered his subordinates to build siege equipment and artillery carriages.

    Li Jing is also very injured, so he has no objection.

    On October 10th, Zheng Yanqing was fully prepared and ordered artillery vehicles to bombard Jinzhou City.  The Sui army's artillery carts bombarded the Jinzhou city wall for five hours. The Jinzhou city wall collapsed in several places, causing heavy casualties. More than 30 Sui army artillery carts were damaged due to non-stop use.

    Early the next morning, Zheng Yanqing ordered his army to attack Jinzhou.  The Sui army first used a ladder to climb the city. Pei Wen'an ordered the soldiers to use a hook pole to topple the ladder, and then threw fire from the city.??Ladder.  Later, Zheng Yanqing ordered the Sui army to attack the city with hook carts and wooden horses. However, when they approached the city wall, they were smashed to pieces by stones thrown from the city.  The Jinzhou armies were simply going crazy.

    Seeing that the Sui army suffered heavy losses, Zheng Yanqing ordered a halt to the siege, dug trenches around the city, and built fences outside the trenches for a long-term siege.

    This siege was not very large-scale, but it fully exposed the weakness of the Fengzhou Army and Daizhou Army, which were not good at siege.  Especially the Fengzhou Army, due to the influence of the environment, is better at field battles, field battles, and even defensive warfare, but it has no experience in siege warfare.  Although its troops are well-equipped, the infantry mostly serve as auxiliaries to the cavalry, and the cavalry is the main force in decisive battles. The ability to siege the city is naturally much weaker.

    Zheng Yanqing also knew that if he continued to attack Jinzhou, he would suffer heavy casualties without adequate preparation.  These people were all veterans of many battles, and of course he was reluctant to lose his troops here, so Zheng Yanqing decided to continue to besiege Jinzhou and harass it with artillery attacks from time to time.

    After that, the Sui army deployed hundreds of artillery carriages on all sides of Jinzhou City to bombard the Jinzhou City Wall. The Jinzhou City Wall continued to collapse in countless places.

    Later, Zhou Luohu¡¯s troops arrived at Jinzhou City and took over the siege.

    At this time, Jinzhou City was already crumbling, and Zhou Luohu was shocked when he saw Jinzhou City. Zheng Yanqing wanted to wipe Jinzhou off the map.  I can't help but envy the number and level of Fengzhou military craftsmen.

    However, thanks to Zheng Yanqing¡¯s artillery attack, the Sui army defeated Jinzhou effortlessly.  Pei Wen'an led the remaining soldiers to start a street fight in the city, and finally died due to exhaustion.

    At this time, Yang Wanxiang, who was besieging Luzhou, also received news that Luzhou surrendered.

    At this time, a large army gathered in Jinzhou, totaling more than 100,000 people. Among the states in Hedong, only Jiangzhou did not attack.  Seeing that the army was severely depleted and there was no need to all go south to Jiangzhou, Zhou Luohuang decided to defeat the rebellion with the Xiaoguo Army, and ordered Zheng Yanqing, Liang Mo, and Li Jing to lead the army back north.

    On October 21, more than 30,000 troops under Zhou Luohu arrived at Jiangzhou City.

    Xue Cui, the governor of Jiangzhou, also refused to surrender.  Xue Cui was a wise general and knew that there was a disparity in strength between the two sides, so he deliberately ordered people to fake surrender. When Zhou Luohu entered the city unprepared, he suddenly ordered people to assassinate Zhou Luohu. Zhou Luohu was unprepared and was hit by several arrows.

    Zhou Luohu was rescued by everyone and treated for several days. Finally, he could not be saved and died on the 26th.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
