    At the same time, Yang Xuangan's march was not smooth either.

    Tang Yi had already sent people to various places in Hanoi to inform Yang Xuangan of the rebellion and order him to defend the city against the enemy.  Although most counties did not have that ability, Yang Xuangan was unlucky and encountered a tough nut to crack on the road he had to pass.

    At that time, the order of Xinxiang (now Xinxiang City, Henan Province) was Zhang Jixun, the son of Zhang Xiang, the former capital water supervisor.  Zhang Jixun's father, Zhang Xiang, was the former Bingzhou Sima who followed Huang Mingliao to resist Yang Liang's rebels in Hengzhou.  Zhang Jixun was a generous and determined young man who was only twenty-two years old at this time. Hearing that Yang Xuangan was rebelling in Liyang, he spent his family wealth and recruited local people to prepare for the crusade against the rebels.

    Zhang Jixun is just a county magistrate, with only two to three hundred government officials and soldiers, and the rest are just a group of common people.

    Everyone in the county was not optimistic about his intention to attack Yang Xuangan's rebels.  If these rabble alone could succeed, wouldn't the Sui army become a joke?

    Everyone also advised Zhang Jixun that if he was determined to serve the country, he would be loyal to the city and not accept the enemy's troops. There was no need to die in vain.

    Zhang Jixun said with determination: "If everyone only thinks about protecting themselves when facing rebellion, then when will the rebels be defeated? Ji Xun is not afraid of death, but he is afraid that he will not be loyal to the country."

    Everyone was encouraged by it and followed him one after another.

    Zhang Jixun¡¯s wife is Huang Mingyuan¡¯s eighth cousin and the eldest daughter of his fourth uncle Huang Lu.  Huang Mingyuan is familiar with "Book of Sui". In the thirty-seven years of the Sui Dynasty, there were countless able people and countless loyal ministers. However, the only ones who were capable and extremely loyal at the same time, who could be called chastity and righteousness, were Zhang Xutuo, Yao Junsu, and Yang Shanhui.  and Zhang Jixun.

    Zhang Jixun led hundreds of soldiers to defend Luokou Cang for three years, against Li Mi's army of more than 100,000, but he was determined and vowed to die.  Zhang Jixun loved his soldiers as much as his own son, and none of his soldiers rebelled. He fought to the last soldier and was captured by Li Mi.  Zhang Jixun faced strong captives and was not afraid in the face of danger. He shouted loudly at the thieves and looked forward to death. In the end, he moved Li Mi and was later killed by Zhai Rang.

    Whenever Huang Mingyuan¡¯s descendants read this, they would marvel and burst into tears.

    His father Zhang Xiang was later transferred to the capital water supervisor. Huang Mingyuan was determined to conquer this loyal man, so he married into the Zhang family and married his cousin to Zhang Jixun.

    Huang Mingyuan's eighth sister, Wanniang, was one year younger than Zhang Jixun. When she heard that Zhang Jixun was going to use her family wealth to recruit rebels, she also gave her dowry to her husband.

    "You and I are one and the same. Since your husband is determined to serve the country and is willing to give up his family and career, as his wife, I can't help but hold him back." When the whole city heard about it, they were all moved by the husband and wife's generosity.

    Zhang Jixun then recruited 1,500 nominal troops, together with government officials, officers and soldiers, and rushed to Linqing Pass (now northeast of Xinxiang City, Henan Province, on the north bank of the ancient Yellow River, not Chaoguan Pass in Linqing, Shandong Province during the Ming and Qing Dynasties).

    The fastest way for Yang Xuangan to go south is to lock the Yongji Canal at the customs clearance.

    Zhang Jixun certainly knew that his strength was insufficient to defeat Yang Xuangan, but if he relied on the natural danger of clearing the customs, he could stop the rebels heading south.

    At this time, the guard general of Linqing Pass was Liu Kui, the general of Ying Yanglang. He was shocked to hear that Yang Xuangan's rebels were moving south along the canal, and he didn't know what to do.

    At that time, an envoy sent by Yang Xuangan to persuade Liu Kui to surrender went south and advised Liu Kui that his small army was not enough to stop Yang Xuangan's army. If he surrendered, he could still enjoy wealth and honor.

    When Liu Kuai was struggling, Zhang Jixun came to Linqing Customs.

    Hearing that Liu Kui was willing to surrender, Zhang Jixun was furious and rushed straight to Liu Kui's camp.  Zhang Jixun is so brave that no one can stop him.

    Zhang Jixun entered Liu Kui's tent and happened to encounter Yang Xuangan's envoy who was persecuting Liu Kui.  At this time, Zhang Jixun broke in, and both of them were surprised.

    Yang Xuangan¡¯s envoy was displeased and asked, ¡°Who are you?¡±

    Zhang Jixun said: "Xinxiang Order Zhang Jixun, who are you?"

    The envoy said with some pride: "I am the envoy of the Duke of Chu, and I am here to persuade you to surrender. Since you are the order of Xinxiang, you and Liu Lang will go to see the Duke of Chu together."

    Zhang Jixun raised his eyebrows when he heard this. He suddenly pulled out the saber from his waist and stabbed it into the man's chest.  Zhang Jixun drew out the horizontal knife again, and then chopped off the man's head with one knife.

    The incident happened so quickly that no one could react.

    Liu Kui was stunned for a moment, then said angrily: "Zhang Jixun, you are crazy!"

    Zhang Jixun and Liu Kui were officials in the same place, so they were familiar with each other before.  Zhang Jixun pointed at Liu Kui's nose and said, "It's not that I'm crazy, but that you are crazy. General Liu Lang, are you going to follow the rebels? You have to think clearly about the consequences of disobeying?"

    Liu Kui got excited and sat down on the stool.

      Suddenly he woke up with a start, and quickly stood up and said: "No, no, no, this traitor messenger came to persuade me. I was also going to kill him, but you came just in time, so I fell one step behind you."

    Zhang Jixun didn¡¯t want to force the other party too much to avoid further troubles, so he could only say coldly: ¡°This is best!¡±

    Zhang Jixun carried the envoy's head to inform the three armies, but Liu Kuai had no choice but to follow Zhang Jixun, like a defeated rooster who had lost his soul.

    But Liu Kui also knew that once the envoy died, he would have no way out, so he had to follow Zhang Jixun to resist the rebels.  Zhang Jixun was Wei Gong's cousin-in-law and had a direct relationship with Tianting. He did not dare to fight against him, so the leadership of Linqing Pass fell completely into Zhang Jixun's hands.

    There are thousands of soldiers at Linqing Pass. Counting the recruits brought by Zhang Jixun, the number is close to 3,000.

    It was impossible for these people to leave the city to fight in the field, so Zhang Jixun ordered everyone to dig deep trenches and prepare rolling logs and stones on the city wall to wait for the rebels to arrive.

    Yang Xuangan went all the way south and arrived outside Linqing Pass. At this time, he found that the head of the envoy he sent was hanging on Linqing Pass.  Yang Xuangan was furious and ordered an attack on Linqingguan.

    Zhang Jixun was not afraid and ordered his troops to respond calmly.  Although most of Zhang Jixun's troops were a group of common people, the border crossing was steep and the Yellow River was the backing. Therefore, rolling logs, stones, and bows and arrows were used to attack the rebels, which caused heavy casualties to the rebels.

    Yang Xuangan didn¡¯t have any siege equipment in his hand, so he could only stare.

    " Moreover, Yang Xuangan only had 10,000 soldiers in Liyangcang who could fight, and they were divided into several parts. He did not dare to waste his money here.

    At the same time, Yang Xuanting also sent a letter to report that Tang Yi had returned to the river and Hanoi City had not been captured.

    Everyone was shocked, and Li Mi was even more worried that Tang Yi would inform the court, which made the Luoyang court take precautions. By then, Yang Xuangan's army would not only fail to make a surprise attack, but would also be surrounded and suppressed by the troops recruited by the court. Therefore, they could no longer spend time at Linqing Pass.  Too much time.  Li Mi had no choice but to persuade Yang Xuangan to cross the Yellow River south and take a detour to Xingyang.

    At this time, Yang Xuangan could only regret that he had mistrusted Tang Yi and mistook a treacherous minister for a loyal minister.  He looked longingly at Linqing Pass on the opposite side, knowing that it would be difficult to conquer in a short time, so he had to turn south.

    Seeing Yang Xuangan's rebels turning south, Zhang Jixun wanted to pursue them, but was powerless.  Zhang Jixun knew very well that if he relied on the city, his group of farmers could still hold on for a while. If they pursued from behind and fought with the rebels in the field, they would collapse immediately, so he had no choice but to watch Yang Xuangan and others leave.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
