    In this battle, the Sui army beheaded two giant bandits, Zhang Jincheng and Sun Xuanya, beheaded nearly 10,000 people, and captured more than 200,000 bandits alive.  The two giant thieves killed, especially Sun Xuanya, who usurped the king's title, were also registered in the court.  Although their heads had long been trampled to death in the rebellious army, Huang Mingyuan still ordered his men to cut off their heads and send them all to the emperor's camp.

    No one thought Huang Mingyuan would cheat on such a trivial matter.

    As for the three men's troops, they were all captured by the Sui army, totaling 200,000 people.  Although there are both men and women, old and young, most of them are young and strong.

    "If these 200,000 people report to Yang Guang, the end will definitely not be good given Yang Guang's character.  But Huang Mingyuan hopes to use these 200,000 people to enrich the population of Liaodong.

    In the land of Liaodong, there are too few Han people, which is not conducive to governance.

    Huang Mingyuan then left 5,000 cavalry and handed them over to Huang Mingli, ordering him to guard the 200,000 people. He also ordered Huang Mingjun's navy, which had been cruising in the Bohai Sea, to go through the Yongji Canal to the historical entrance of the Haihe River, and then to  Liaohe River, all transported to Liaodong Shibian.

    Huang Mingli was a little worried about this. Although 200,000 people could enrich the population of Liaodong, the consumption would also be huge. Where would they get so much food.

    Huang Mingyuan smiled and patted Huang Mingli's shoulder and said: "Fifth brother, don't worry, your second brother is coming back from Linyi. He has brought back countless amounts of food, not to mention two hundred thousand people, two million  It¡¯s enough.¡±

    Huang Mingyuan ordered his younger brother Huang Mingcong to run Linyi for almost ten years. Huang Mingcong successively captured the Mekong Delta, the Gulf of Thailand, Malaysia and other places in history, and stored enough food. Now is the time to support Huang Mingyuan.

    And Huang Mingyuan's navy was also divided into two, serving as an army, a caravan, and a pirate. It almost completely monopolized the entire trade routes in the East China Sea and the South China Sea.  To put it bluntly, even if Huang Mingyuan loses the battle with Li Tang, he is still the overlord of the sea and has no worries about his future.

    After leaving Huang Mingli behind, Huang Mingyuan went to Li Yangcang without stopping.  From Huanshui to Liyang, it was less than 200 miles away. Huang Mingyuan's troops marched in a hurry and arrived there in a day and night.

    At this time, Huang Mingyuan was not familiar with the situation in Liyang, and his cavalry was not good at attacking cities, so he did not approach rashly.

    When the army arrived in Neihuang County (which governs the southwest of Neihuang County in present-day Henan Province), Huang Mingyuan met soldiers from Wuyang County who were also reinforcements from Luoyang.  Wuyang County is close to Ji County and is the junction of Hebei, Shandong and Henan in later generations. Although it was a poor place in later generations, it was also a prosperous and splendid place at this time.  After Yang Xuangan's rebellion in Liyang, many counties and counties also spontaneously organized troops to rescue, and Wuyang County was one of them.

    There were no more than a thousand soldiers in Wuyang County, and their commander was Wei Deshen, the magistrate of Guantao County.  Wei De was an honest official and popular among the people, so he was deeply feared by Cheng Yuan Bao Bao of Wuyang County.  Yuan Baobao deliberately ordered Wei Deshen, a civil servant, to rush to Luoyang's aid, hoping to get rid of the opponent with the help of the rebels.

    Huang Mingyuan didn¡¯t have time to pursue the matter between Yuan Baobao and Wei Deshen, but with more than a thousand people like Wei Deshen, Huang Mingyuan took it into consideration.

    Because of Lu Mingxing¡¯s attack, Yuan Wuben concentrated his main force in Liyangcang.  Despite this, he was still the governor of Lizhou appointed by Yang Xuangan, and Liyang City was also his administrative seat.  Once there is a problem in Liyang City, Yuan Wuben will rescue it no matter what.

    If it was an elite cavalry like Huang Mingyuan, Yuan Wuben would certainly not dare to attack, but if Wuyang County soldiers were asked to pretend to be bandits, Yuan Wu would have dared to attack.

    At this time, Yuan Wuben was also worried in Liyangcang.  It is true that when he joined Yang Xuangan's rebel army, Yuan Wuben accidentally boarded a pirate ship and was a little hot-headed. However, when he saw Yang Xuangan's huge momentum, Yuan Wuben was still full of hope.  But now after his mind had completely cooled down, Yuan Wuben discovered that although Yang Xuangan was very powerful, he was still enjoying himself, and there were not many people in the world to support him. In a moment of recklessness, he boarded a pirate ship.

    But the problem now is that it is easier to get on the pirate ship than to get off the pirate ship.

    Although Yuan Wuben was appointed as the governor of Lizhou by Yang Xuangan, he still only had Liyangcang and Liyang City in his hands, and the other counties did not obey his orders at all.  However, Yuan Wuben had only 3,000 men, more than enough to defend the city. It would be impossible for him to attack city by city.  Before Yang Xuangan left, he tricked Yuan Wuben. All the troops in Liyang were taken away by Yang Xuangan, and Yuan Wuben could not recruit any troops in Liyang.

    Yuan Wuben had to lead 2,500 people to guard Liyangcang, and ordered his cousin Yuan Wujing to lead 500 people and the old and weak in the city to guard Liyang City.

    After Lu Mingxing retreated, Yuan Wuben was in panic for a long time before Liyang City came to ask for help. It turned out that a group of nearly a thousand bandits was attacking Liyang City.

    Yuan Wuben was shocked. Although Liyang City had few resources, it was as strong as Liyangcang in guarding it. Once Liyang City was breached, Liyang City would be destroyed.Yangcang became an isolated city.  And the most important point is that Liyangcang is beside the Yongji Canal, which is the only place that Liyangcang must pass to the north.  Yuan Wuben had already thought that if Yang Xuangan was defeated, he would lead his men to Hebei to become bandits.  Hebei's giant bandit, no matter how many times, he can always survive, so Liyang City cannot afford to lose.

    Yuan Wuben quickly mobilized 1,500 people to go to Liyang City. In his opinion, he could still defeat more than a thousand bandits.

    Yuan Wuben and his party hurriedly left Liyangcang and headed north. Liyang City was only more than ten miles away from Liyangcang and would arrive in an instant.

    Yuan Wuben was worried about Liyang City and was unprepared.  At this time, a cavalry force suddenly rushed out and rushed straight into Yuan Wuben's army formation.

    Yuan Wuben was shocked and quickly organized his troops to form a formation. However, the two sides met suddenly while marching, and Yuan Wuben had no time to form a formation.  The opponent just rushed into his formation and destroyed the Yuanwu headquarters like chopping melons and vegetables.

    Yuan Wuben was more knowledgeable than Zhang Jin and said that as soon as he saw the flag, he recognized it as the flag of Zuo Wuwei.  Yuan Wuben was surprised that Huang Mingyuan was back.

    How could it be so fast?

    At this time, Yuan Wuben had no time to think.  Just when he was surprised, the opponent was already in front of him. Yuan Wuben raised his sword to block it, but was knocked down by the opponent.  Yuan Wuben also threw himself straight into the other party's arms.  The opponent relaxed his ape arms and captured Yuan Wu Bensheng.

    Without Yuan Wuben¡¯s command, his troops would have no resistance.

    Xi Jie led 3,000 cavalry and quickly annihilated Yuanwuben's troops. Yuanwuben was also tied up by Wuhua Da and sent to the Chinese army.  Huang Mingyuan had no interest in seeing pawns like Yuan Wuben, so he ordered people to escort Yuan Wuben to Liyang City to summon the city.  There were only a few hundred defenders in the city. Seeing that Yuan Wuben was captured, there was no hope of resisting. Someone had already killed Yuan Wujing and opened the city gate to welcome the Sui army into the city.

    Xi Ding followed suit and escorted Yuan Wuben to the city of Liyangcang. There were no more than a thousand soldiers in the city. Seeing that the commander was captured, he surrendered immediately, and the Sui army occupied Liyangcang City.

    Afterwards, Huang Mingyuan ordered people to behead Yuan Wuben and send his head to Yang Guangxing's camp.  He also ordered Wei Deshen to lead his troops to guard Liyangcang and wait for the return of the main army.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
