    Huang Mingyuan continued to advance westward. Zhao Junyong, the governor of Weizhou appointed by Yang Xuangan, did not dare to fight at all, so he abandoned Wei County and fled westward.

    Zhao Junyong was a smart man. When he discovered the traces of the Sui army's reinforcements, he knew that Yang Xuangan would definitely be defeated.  He did not want to be buried with Yang Xuangan, so he fled decisively.

    Zhao Jun fled to the west and had to flee into the Taihang Mountains to become a bandit. Huang Mingyuan did not pursue him, but led his troops to continue southward along the Yongji Canal.  When the army arrived in Anchang County (today's Wude Town in the northeast of Wen County, Henan Province), they happened to encounter the son of the guardian who came north from Xingze to fight.

    After Lai Huer arrived at Donglai County, he was preparing to lead his army to attack when news of Yang Xuangan's rebellion came from Luoyang.  At this time, Donglai County was isolated in Shandong and had no contact with Liaodong. He came to protect his children and prepared to return to Luoyang to aid Luoyang without waiting for the emperor's order.  At that time, the general Zhou Fashang and others were worried, thinking that it would be a serious crime to return to the army without permission from the court.

    Lai Huer said sternly: "The siege of Luoyang is a personal problem, related to the foundation of the Sui Dynasty, and Goguryeo is just a scabies disease. I will bear the crime of specialization and has nothing to do with others. Anyone who dares to stop me will be engaged in military law!"  "

    The navy commander has always been the guardian of children, and most of them are his confidants.  No one dared to speak out about the attitude of the generals when they came to protect the children.

    Some of Lai Hu'er's confidants persuaded Lai Hu'er that the melons and plums were under the melon fields at this time. Yang Xuangan also said that Lai Hu'er was rebelling. If Lai Hu'er led troops into Luoyang at this time, it might make the emperor suspicious.

    However, Lai Huer said resolutely: "I am a minister of the emperor, and I should die for the emperor. How can I ignore the national affairs just because I may be suspicious?"

    Lai Huer sent his fifth son Lai Hong to Liaodong to meet the emperor, and he himself led the troops to put down the rebellion.

    When Lai Huer arrived in Xingyang, Yang Xuangan's general Han Shi'er had already been stationed in Xingyang.

    Han Shi'e was a veteran general. He came to protect his son and was anxious to protect him. He laid siege to the city with heavy troops. He also ordered his son to lead a partial army to cross the Yellow River and go to Heyang to join forces with Qu Tutong and wait for an opportunity to rescue Luoyang.

    Lai Zheng is the sixth son of Lai Huer. He is only twenty years old this year, but he is brave and good at fighting. He has conquered many times and is successful in everything he does. He is a fierce general.

    Huang Mingyuan was a generation older than him, so he treated him as a nephew.

    When Lai Zheng saw his idol, he was even more respectful.

    Huang Mingyuan asked: "I heard that your brother came to Yuan to rebel against Yang Xuangan, what can your father say to me?"

    Lai Zheng said hurriedly: "My father once said that Lai Yuan is no longer his son. If we meet on the battlefield, we will definitely kill him. Please also ask Wei Gong to clearly understand my father's heart."

    " Lai Yuan and others will definitely not survive, no matter who his father is.  Although Huang Mingyuan was very clear about Lai Huer's position, it was better to talk about some things in advance.

    It has to be said that Yang Xuangan's rebellion directly brought down the second generation of officials in Luoyang, including Yu Shiji, Lai Huer, Pei Yun, Yang Xiong It was really difficult to deal with.

    When Huang Mingyuan arrived at Heyang City, Qu Tutong had already come to greet him.

    Qu Tutong originally led his army to garrison at Tongguan. When Wei Xuan led his troops to march eastward, he ordered him to cross the river from Puban to Heyang.  Heyang is Luoyang's northern barrier. Occupying this place can give the reinforcements from the north a place to breathe.

    After Yang Xuangan arrived in Luoyang, he sent general Yang She to lead thousands of troops across the river from Mengjin to seize Heyang.  But after Yang She crossed the river, he happened to meet Qu Tutong.  The two sides fought fiercely north of the Yellow River. Yang She was defeated and retreated to Henan.  And Heyang City was occupied by Qu Tutong.

    After Qu Tutong occupied Heyang, he overlooked Luoyang from a high position. Although his troops were not strong enough to break the siege of Luoyang, he threatened Yang Xuangan's flanks and made Yang Xuangan vulnerable from both sides.

    Yang Xuangan followed Li Zixiong's suggestion and decided to divide his troops to stop the attack. He ordered his younger brother Yang Minxing to lead 15,000 soldiers and horses to station at Poling Ferry to prevent Qu Tu from sneaking across the river.

    Yang Min marched with many troops and occupied a favorable location. Qu Tutong blocked them and could not cross the river, so the two sides became stalemate.

    At this time, Yang Xuangan's army, located under Luoyang City, was surrounded by enemy troops on all sides, and the pressure doubled. In front of it was Luoyang City, with tens of thousands of defenders from Fan Zigai; on its flanks, it was necessary to block the remnants of Wei Xuangan's troops in Longtan Gorge; to the east, it was necessary to watch  Jin Yong City prevents Pei Renji from merging with Luoyang City; and behind Luoyang City, we must also guard against Qu Tutong crossing the river.

    But Yang Xuangan simply couldn't afford so many troops.

    Attacking from all sides and getting punished everywhere, this is what Yang Xuangan was like at this time.

    At this time, Fan Zigai in Luoyang City also discovered the weakness of Yang Xuangan's small number of soldiers, so he deliberately ordered people to go out of the city to harass Yang Xuangan. When Yang Xuangan led his troops to attack Luoyang City, Fan Zigai could not hold on.  Yang Xuangan's troops were exhausted.

    Yang Xuangan then ordered to attack the city day and night, and must attack the city in the shortest possible time.The city of Luoyang was captured within a short period of time.

    At this time, Yang Xuangan, who was still under Luoyang City, did not know that his biggest enemy Huang Mingyuan had arrived on the other side and took over the command of Qu Tutong's headquarters.

    Although Qu Tutong was upright and resolute, his commanding ability was average. This was why Yang Xuangan dared to divide his troops. He looked down on Qu Tutong from the bottom of his heart.

    "And if Yang Xuangan knew that Huang Mingyuan had arrived, he would probably run away immediately.

    And if this time is missed, Yang Xuangan will not be able to leave.

    On June 5th, at dawn, Huang Mingyuan summoned the generals to prepare for war.

    The people lined up on both sides of the commander's tent. At this time, in addition to the 25,000 cavalry in his hands, Huang Mingyuan also had 10,000 people under his command, 10,000 people under Qu Tutong's command, and more than 20,000 soldiers from various prefectures in Hedong and Hebei. A total of  The 70,000 troops were more than four times the number of rebels on the opposite side.

    After learning that the coach of the opponent was Yang Minxing, Huang Mingyuan prepared to attack.

    There were countless elegant birds in the big tent, and the atmosphere was extremely tense.

    Huang Mingyuan looked at the crowd and said: "Yang Xuangan, the Duke of Chu in the Sui Dynasty and the son of Yang Taipu, actually rebelled. At the critical moment when Goguryeo was about to be destroyed in the Sui Dynasty, he rebelled against Heaven's grace and for his ambition. I don't care about you.  What do you think? I have to kill him to pay homage to the brothers who died on the battlefield in Liaodong. Therefore, I will not show mercy in this battle, and I hope you will not show mercy. Everyone is crossing the Yellow River today. Unless Yang Xuangan is killed, it will be impossible.  If you don¡¯t retreat, I hope you won¡¯t let me down in this battle!¡±

    "No!"

    Everyone shuddered when they heard the chill in Huang Mingyuan's voice.

    Huang Mingyuan has never hated a person so much, including Yang Xian before. He only had contempt for him.  Yang Xuangan's betrayal ruined Huang Mingyuan's second expedition to Korea. This kind of anger cannot be dismissed at any cost.

    Huang Mingyuan ordered the generals to cross the river from Poling Ferry (in the east of today's Mengjin County, Henan Province), encircle and annihilate Yang Minxing's troops, and then attack Luoyang City directly.

    When he was young, he was angry at Yang Xuangan for slandering his father, so he asked Huang Mingyuan to be a pioneer. Huang Mingyuan agreed to his request and ordered Zhang Jixun, who came from Linqing Pass, to assist him.

    Zhang Jixun is Huang Mingyuan¡¯s eighth brother-in-law, and he has outstanding talents, so Huang Mingyuan is willing to support him.

    That day, the three armies had a good meal and prepared to set off.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
