    While Lai Huer and Qu Tutong broke through Hulao Pass, Zhang Fangyi and Huang Mingpu, who set out from Luoyang and attacked southward, also led their troops to pacify Han Xiangguo's rebels.

    Han Xiangguo was a native of Liangjun. Yang Xuangan rebelled and besieged Luoyang, which shocked the world. Han Xiangguo also rebelled in Liangjun.  At this time, Yang Xuangan was hoping that people all over the world would respond, so he didn't care that Han Xiangguo was just a local tycoon from Liang County, and directly appointed him as the Marching Marshal of Henan Province.

    Huang Mingyuan has never been the first marshal in this land since Yang Zhao.

    Liang County is located in the southeast of Xingyang County. Tongji Canal runs through the entire Liang County, so the labor of the local people is extremely heavy.  The people were miserable, and conflicts between the government and the people were prominent. The famous cannibalism incident of Ma Shumou occurred in Liang County.

    At this time, after several years of hard work, Liang County was like a pot of boiling hot water. Although the people had not yet rebelled on a large scale like Hebei and Shandong, public dissatisfaction had already reached its peak.

    Han Xiangguo raised his arms in the local area, and the people in Liang County followed suit one after another.

    Even Han Xiangguo himself did not expect that in less than half a month, more than 100,000 people would join him. Han Xiangguo suddenly became an overlord with more than 100,000 soldiers from a local tycoon.  .

    Although his identity has changed, Han Xiangguo himself is still a rich man.

    Han Xiangguo led his army and quickly captured Songcheng County, the seat of Liang County (now southwest of Suiyang District, Shangqiu City, Henan Province). Then Han Xiangguo was very satisfied and prepared to dominate Liang County and become a local bully.

    Fortunately, the envoy sent by Yang Xuangan was good at deception. He told Han Xiangguo that if he only conquered Liang County, Han Xiangguo would be just a prefect of Liang County at best, and it would be difficult for him to achieve great success.  If Han Xiangguo takes the opportunity to lead his troops from Liang County to attack Yingchang County and Xiangcheng County, and join forces with Chu Guild at the foot of Luoyang City, Han Xiangguo will be a hero who helps the world, and he will be awarded the title of king at that time, which is especially promising.

    Thinking that one day he could be crowned king, Han Xiangguo, a rich man, couldn't sit still.

    As a rich man, no one wants to become a noble family. This rich man has money, power and people, but he just doesn¡¯t have the awe and admiration that makes people feel spontaneous.

    ?? Han Xiangguo thought that if he was granted the title of king in the future, his family would also become a wealthy family, so he decided to gather his troops and go to Xiangyang.

    Although there are more than 100,000 people in Han Xiangguo's army, the total number of troops and horses is only 50,000, and most of them are farmers who have not experienced battles.

    The army set out from Songcheng and arrived at Xiangcheng County. They did not capture much of the city, but suffered serious casualties.  Moreover, Xiangguo Han set out from Liang County, which was across from Yingchang County, and the supply of food and grass was not available. Therefore, the morale of the army soon became unstable and the soldiers wanted to return.

    Seeing that it was really difficult to move forward without supplies, Prime Minister Han decided to attack Chengxiu County (now Ruzhou City, Henan Province), the seat of Xiangcheng County, to plunder food and grass.

    There were not many troops in Xiangcheng County. Han Xiangguo surrounded the county and attacked day and night. If his troops' combat effectiveness was not too weak, they would have defeated Xiangcheng County long ago.

    Zhang Fangyi received a request for help from Xiangcheng County. He was mopping up the remnants of the rebels in southern Luoyang and immediately led his army south to rescue Xiangcheng County.

    Zhang Fangyi took Huang Mingpu as the vanguard, with a total of 3,000 cavalry and 5,000 infantry under his command.

    The troops are valuable and fast, so Huang Mingpu led three thousand cavalry to Xiangcheng County day and night.

    The fact that Han Xiangguo was able to gather tens of thousands of troops was not really because of his ability, but because he was really lucky. The people south of the river had been waiting for someone to raise their arms and rise up, and Han Xiangguo happened to be at the center of the storm.  That¡¯s all.  But this does not mean that he can control hundreds of thousands of people.

    Huang Mingpu followed lightly and simply, all the way to Chengxiu City.  At this time, Huang Mingpu discovered that the entire rebel camp was almost like a slum. People, horses, and food were mixed in the camp. There were no fences or patrols, and it was almost completely undefended.  Han Xiangguo and his generals had never organized troops at all. Marching and fighting were like fighting between men on the street. There was no way to set up camps.

    This was a good opportunity to attack the camp, but Huang Mingpu did not take action. He wanted to annihilate this army instead of defeating the opponent and leaving the defeated troops scattered everywhere.

    Huang Mingpu suppressed his mood and waited until night, when Zhang Fangyi also arrived from behind with his infantry.

    Huang Mingpu saw Zhang Fangyi and said: "I saw that in the rebel camp, tents were set up everywhere, and food and fodder were everywhere. Tonight in the south, I led the cavalry to detour to the southeast, then raided the rebel camp and burned it, while my brother-in-law  Lead the infantry to intercept from two directions in the northwest, and by then we will be able to encircle the enemy."

    Zhang Fangyi was overjoyed when he heard this, so he followed Huang Mingpu's plan.

    At the third watch of the day, Huang Mingpu led two thousand cavalry to leave the stopping place and bypass theThe army camp headed straight to the southeast.  Han Xiangguo's troops had no soldiers and horses patrolling the camp at night, so they were never discovered at all.

    At the fourth watch, Huang Mingpu, who was already in the attack position, saw that the time was up, so he waved his long spear, and the cavalry behind him followed him forward like a rolling torrent.

    At this time, in the rebel camp, everyone was already exhausted after attacking the city for a day.

    "Kela (a common nickname for dirt in the dialect, commonly used in rural areas), what kind of noise is this? It feels like the earth is beating a drum. It makes people have a headache."

    "What about playing drums? You want to go crazy for the New Year!"

    "Then what did you say it was?"

    "We have angered Grandpa Tutu by staying here. Grandpa Tutu must be driving us away!"

    "What?"

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Everyone is talking a lot, and they don't know what is going on.

    At this time, Han Xiangguo also noticed the shaking of the earth, but he didn't know the reason.

    Is it possible that the earth dragon is about to stand up?

    At this time, there was a general in the army who had served in the Sui army. His expression changed and he suddenly said: "Marshal, could it be that there are cavalry attacking the camp?"

    "kill!"

    At this time, the Sui army had already reached the outside of the camp, and the camp without any obstruction was directly defeated by the Sui army.

    Huang Mingpu held a long spear and led the cavalry, charging forward. Anyone who blocked the way was killed.  Then the cavalrymen of the rear army all held two torches and threw them at the grain, hay piles and tents one after another.

    Soon the fire broke out and filled the entire rebel camp.

    These rebels had never seen such a scene before. They were so panicked that they dropped their weapons and fled in all directions.

    Han Xiangguo rushed out of the tent and wanted to command the army to counterattack, but at his level, he had no such ability.  The Sui armies arrived, and Han Xiangguo was swept away like a headless fly. Even though he was so angry that he yelled and cursed, it was of no avail.

    At this time, there was chaos, and the Sui army who had been killed long ago caught up with him and cut him in two with one knife.

    The entire camp has almost become a slaughterhouse.

    There were fleeing soldiers who were blocked outside the camp by Zhang Fangyi and his troops.  These people had no intention of resisting and surrendered one after another.

    By daybreak, tens of thousands of rebels were dead or surrendered, and the entire army was wiped out.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
