    At that time, Zhou Fa was still far away in Luoyang, but Huang Mingcong, who came down the river from Luzhou, led three thousand Jiannan soldiers and galloped southward towards Jiaozhou.

    At that time, the morale of the Southern Expedition Army was low because its coach Liu Fang died of illness and could not return to his hometown for a long time. Only Chief Shi Jingdeliang reluctantly restrained everyone in the army.

    After Huang Mingcong led his army to Jiaozhou, because Zhou Fa had not yet arrived, he temporarily acted as the commander-in-chief of the army.  Huang Mingcong's military orders were strict and neat, and those who violated the military orders would be beheaded. At the same time, he was kind and caring to the soldiers. He personally comforted and cared for the soldiers when they were sick, and all the soldiers were willing to serve him.

    At that time, Qin Xiong, who was accompanying the army to Kaifu, was seriously ill and could not see anything.  When Huang Mingcong saw that Qin Xiong was critically ill and difficult to recover, he burst into tears and took care of Qin Xiong himself.  The soldiers of the Southern Expedition felt Huang Mingcong's benevolence, so Huang Mingcong won the hearts of the soldiers of the Southern Expedition. Liu Fang's old generals Qin Xiong, Song Zhuan, He Guang, Yan Yuan and others were all used by him.

    Huang Mingcong originally planned to wait for his coach Zhou Fashang to go south before sending troops, but not long after he stayed in Jiaozhou, he received a request for reinforcements from the marching Sima Li Gang who was still in Linyi but had not returned.

    At that time, after Liu Fang went north, he left a force of troops in Bijing and ordered Li Gang to garrison it here and handle the affairs of Linyi.  At the beginning, Li Gang, the right minister of Shangshu, disobeyed Yang Su and Su Wei because of several different opinions. Yang Su recommended Li Gang to Emperor Wen and asked him to be Liu Fang's marching commander.  Liu Fang was from Yang Su's old army. He was deeply trusted by Yang Su and understood Yang Su's intention of sending Li Gang.  He provoked several times and took the opportunity to insult Li Gang, but Li Gang was almost killed by Liu Fang.

    This time Li Gang was put to death by Liu Fang.

    After Liu Fang left, King Fanzhi of Linyi left and returned, but he led a heavy army to besiege Bijing Port.  At this time, Li Gang only had more than 2,000 Lingnan soldiers. He was trapped in Bijing Port and was isolated and helpless, so he had to ask Jiaozhou for help.

    At that time, the commander-in-chief Zhou Fa was not there yet, and no one in the army could make the decision. Therefore, everyone was at a loss when they received Li Gang's request for help.  Li Gang was ostracized by Liu Fang's leaders, so no one in the army was close to him, and no one even asked to rescue Li Gang at this time.

    Huang Mingcong knew that Bijing Port was the last base of the Sui army in Linyi and the forward base for the second expedition to Linyi. It could not be lost, so the rescue of Li Gang could not be delayed.

    Huang Mingcong decided to send troops to conquer Linyi in advance, despite all opinions.

    Huang Mingcong¡¯s identity was not qualified to be the commander of the army, but as Huang Mingyuan¡¯s cousin, he had Huang Mingyuan¡¯s support in the court. In addition, he continued to win people¡¯s hearts in the army these days, so no one disobeyed him.

    Huang Mingcong led his troops and Liu Fang's old troops, a total of more than 9,000 people. He also gathered Li Yun, the governor of Huanzhou, and recruited the troops of General Zhang Xun in Lingnan, and rushed to Bijing Port.

    Huang Mingcong's troops advanced all the way, and the army stationed in Anyuan County, approaching the main force of Lin Yi's army heading north.

    In fact, the combat effectiveness of Lin Yi's soldiers this time was much lower than before.  Liu Fang's first southern expedition almost wiped out all the main forces of Lin Yi, and all Lin Yi's decades of savings fell into Liu Fang's hands.  This time King Fanzhi of Linyi made a comeback. Although he seemed to have sufficient troops and was as powerful as before, he was actually a ragtag group of people.

    Huang Mingcong's vanguard had less than 2,000 men. Seeing that Huang Mingcong's men were few, Linyi's soldiers gathered together and surrounded them.  In order to boost the morale of the Sui army, Huang Mingcong ordered his deputy general Yang Hongli to lead his army to defeat the forward of Lin Yi's army and behead thousands of them.  He also joined forces with Li Huan to attack Jiaogu City (now south of Ha Tinh, Ha Tinh Province, Vietnam).

    Jiaogucheng is Linyi's last stronghold north of Hengshan and has sufficient troops.

    Huang Mingcong deliberately ordered Yang Hongli to lead a small number of troops to attack the city, and pretended to attack the main force elsewhere to paralyze Lin Yi's army.  In the dark, Huang Mingcong ordered his confidant Kuai Yunlie and others to lead the daring soldiers, each holding a torch and a copper horn, to cross the trench and use ladders to climb the city at night.

    The fierce general Song Zuan took the lead and entered the city first. The soldiers followed him one after another, then blew the horns and raised thousands of torches.  The troops under the city shouted and advanced like thunder, and then attacked the city.

    The Sui army captured Jiaogucheng, severely damaging the morale of Lin Yi's army.

    At this time, King Fanzhi of Linyi used his trump card elephant soldiers again to prepare to attack the attacking Sui army.

    Huang Mingcong used a painted lion on his horse to charge, deliberately beat drums, and killed the elephant with crossbows.  The elephants of Lin Yi's army all turned back and retreated, and most of Lin Yi's army was defeated.

    In this battle, Huang Mingcong beheaded more than 7,000 people, captured countless soldiers, and almost wiped out the remaining main force of Lin Yi.

    Fanzhi, who had lost his army, was frightened and frightened, so he led his troops to flee south.  Huang Mingcong led his troops to continue the fierce attack, pursuing all the way to the Dayuan River, destroying all the wooden fences along the river, and once again captured and killed countless Lin Yi troops.

    If Huang Mingcong had divine help when he advanced, he would pursue him relentlessly and take advantage of his victory to attack.Linyi was the capital of the country, and he appeased the officials, people and converts. Tens of thousands of people came to submit every day.

    In order to prevent Fan Zhi from returning this time, Huang Mingcong ordered Yang Hongli, Song Zhuan, and He Guang to pursue Fan Zhi and defeat the reinforcements from all over Linyi.

    Fan Zhi panicked, burned the palace and warehouse and fled to the sea.  He originally thought that he could escape this time like before, but he didn't expect that Huang Mingcong had expected that Fanzhi would go to sea after his defeat, so he ordered his general Zhang Zhenzhou to lead the boat division to lie in the sea east of Linyi.

    After Fan Zhi went to sea, Zhang Zhenzhou discovered the opponent's traces and immediately attacked, defeated Fan Zhi's remaining troops at sea, and captured Fan Zhi.

    At this point, the Linyi Kingdom began to be at peace.

    Huang Mingcong¡¯s advance was like a whirlwind, too fast.  When Zhou Fashang arrived at Jiaozhou, Huang Mingcong only left him with Linyi, which had been pacified.

    When the good news reached Luoyang, Yang Guangma was overjoyed. Huang Mingyuan took the opportunity to persuade Yang Guang to move some Han people here, so that the land of Linyi would be included in the Sui Dynasty forever.

    Yang Guang implemented Huang Mingyuan's suggestion.

    In order to better manage the south, Yang Guang appointed Zhou Fashang as the governor of Jiaozhou and the pacification ambassador of Jiaozhou, responsible for the management of Jiaozhi and Linyi.

    Huang Mingcong was appointed to be the governor of Yitong Sansi of Kaifu, governor of Dangzhou, and in charge of Nongzhou and Chongzhou.  Although Linyi has three prefectures and twelve counties, there are no grassroots officials, and the teams of the three prefectures cannot be raised at all. The official department cannot send hundreds of people to Linyi to serve as officials, so they have to make the most northern ones.  The prefecture takes charge of Nongzhou and Chongzhou. As for the subordinate counties, there is only one Dianchong city.

    And Chang Shi Shen Ying was appointed governor of Huanzhou.

    Huang Mingyuan took the opportunity to designate his cousin Cui Renhan as the Order of Jiaozhi. At this point, the entire Vietnam basically fell into Huang Mingyuan's hands.

    Huang Mingyuan wrote to his cousin Huang Mingcong, saying that he would tilt resources towards Linyi and order him to go south to attack the savage tribes in the Lancang River Delta, develop agriculture, and save food.  And Huang Mingyuan will also immigrate to Linyi from the interior of Sui Dynasty.

    Linyi itself has superior natural conditions. Although it is not the foundation of Wangba, once it is developed, it will become a small Jiangnan.  In the future competition for hegemony in the north, Lin Yi will play the role of blood transfusion.  And even if the struggle for hegemony in the north really fails, Lin Yi will still be the family's retreat in the south.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
