    Zhu Xie withdrew his troops, and Liu Yuanjin, who was still in Yuhang, did not advance smoothly. He was blocked by the main force led by Ou Yan at Dongqian City (now Jiuguan Town, Nanxun District, Zhejiang Province).

    After Liu Yuan attacked and captured Yuhang County, counselor Zhuge Yin advised Liu Yuanjin to go north to capture Wu County as soon as possible, and then capture the coast of the Yangtze River to build a defense line along the Yangtze River and mark the territory as king.  After all, if you take Jiangnan and defend it without crossing the river, it will be useless even if you occupy the entire Jiangnan.

    Liu Yuanjin trusted Zhuge Yin very much and seemed to obey his words.  Liu Yuanjin originally did not believe in Taoism, but Zhuge Yin miraculously captured Qiantang City, which made Liu Yuanjin have a blind sense of trust in Zhuge Yin, which made him admire Taoism somewhat.

    Liu Yuanjin originally had no overall vision, let alone any plan to conquer the world, but Zhuge Yinbei's suggestion was exactly what he wanted.

    Although Liu Yuanjin's ability is average, he is very ambitious. If Zhuge Yin hadn't stopped him, he would have become the king after occupying Yuhang. Now he is no longer satisfied with being the king and hegemony in Yuhang County.  Wujun and Piling are both rich places. If you get them, you can become the serious master of Wuyue. Liu Yuanjin is also very coveted.

    However, before Liu Yuanjin could go north, General Yuanyou of Hu Benlang in Kuaiji County led his troops to the west from Kuaiji County, preparing to attack the rebels in Yuhang County.

    Although Yuanyou is actually independent and not bound by Ou Yan, he is still a general in the arrest division, so he still has to obey Ou Yan's orders in name.  Moreover, as an official of the imperial court, he had the responsibility to suppress bandits. He should have prepared to march westward after receiving Ou Yan's order to attack Yuhang.

    However, Yuanyou didn¡¯t pay attention to the rebels in Yuhang County. It is common for Nanchen¡¯s remnants to miss their homeland and have evil intentions. In the past two years, he has wiped out how many Nanchen rebels he has.

    Yuanyou did not discuss with Ou Yan a joint march, so he directly ordered his troops and headed for Qiantang City.

    Yuanyou plans to attack the Yuhang rebellion first and make Ouyan look bad.

    When the rebels in Yuhang County heard the news, they were all a little panicked.  At this time, although Liu Yuanjin raised a banner and granted a group of official titles in a decent manner, which looked a bit like a regular army, these people were still a group of bandits in essence, and they still had a fear of the official army.

    At this time, facing the menacing counter-rebellion army, everyone was panicked. Many people advised Liu Yuanjin to abandon Qiantang City and temporarily avoid the front line.

    Zhuge Yin tried his best to persuade Liu Yuanjin to take the initiative to fight.  Zhuge Yin's explanation was very provocative. If he couldn't defeat the first batch of conquering officers and soldiers, how could he truly establish a king's hegemony in the future?

    Liu Yuanjin persuaded Zhuge Yin, mainly because Zhuge Yin's career as a king was too tempting for Liu Yuanjin.

    Liu Yuanjin then decided to defend Qiantang City and fight the Sui army.  He also ordered that anyone who dared to retreat would be executed.

    At this time, Zhuge Yin was worried that the Sui army was approaching the city, the soldiers were afraid, and the battle would become more difficult, so he persuaded Liu Yuanjin to take the initiative to attack. After all, field battles could better utilize their manpower advantages.

    Liu Yuanjin led tens of thousands of troops to attack the Sui army. The two sides met at Fenggongdi (southeast of today's Hangzhou City, Zhejiang Province) and started a fierce battle.

    Between the two sides, each has its own advantages and disadvantages in terms of strength.  In terms of soldiers' combat effectiveness, Yuanyou's regular army is naturally stronger, but Liu Yuanjin's troops are larger in number.

    Liu Yuanjin defended Feng Gongdi against the river. Yuan You attacked repeatedly but was unable to advance.

    The two sides fought fiercely all morning, with no winner or loser.

    By this time both sides were exhausted, and the battle had reached a critical juncture.  At this time, Huyalang general Shen Faxing, who was flanking the Sui army, suddenly led his troops to retreat.

    It turned out that Shen Faxing's general Jiang Yuanchao saw that the two sides were fighting fiercely and his own troops suffered heavy casualties, so he advised Shen Faxing to fight and retreat to preserve his strength.  At the same time, retreating at this time can also trick Yuanyou.

    Yuanyou and Shen Faxing are deputy chiefs, but they have deep conflicts.  Yuanyou was a descendant of the Guanlong family, No. 8 Zheng'er, who was equivalent to someone in the center, a dragon crossing the river; Shen Faxing was a powerful man in the south of the Yangtze River, a local hegemon with deep roots, so the two sides disliked each other.  But Yuanyou relied on the court, and even though Shen Faxing was a local snake, he was overpowered by Yuanyou.  The two fought each other, and Yuanyou relied on his background to make Shen Faxing repeatedly frustrated in front of Yuanyou.

    Hearing Jiang Yuanchao's words, Shen Faxing was a little hesitant. Of course he wanted to withdraw, and it would be best to trick Yuanyou to death. But if he just retreated like this, although Yuanyou would lose, he would definitely report it to the court, sue him for escaping from the battle, and deal with it.  Own.  If you retreat, you will be harming others and not benefiting yourself.

    Jiang Yuanchao saw Shen Faxing's worries, but said: "Don't worry, general. Even if Yuanyou really reports to the court to accuse General Lang, he will have to wait until Yuanyou survives. This war is in chaos, who knows whether Yuanyou will  Died at the hands of some rebel army.

    ?Besides, why did Yuanyou have the nerve to complain? The imperial court was just going to deal with it in this battle, and it had to first hold Yuanyou responsible for the defeat. What's more, Yuanyou couldn't cover up the sky with one hand. He had an arrest warrant officer above him.  "

    Shen Faxing was overjoyed after hearing this. He used to be a member of Yuanyou Tiantian's court, but he had forgotten about the arrest department.  He is not a person without roots. Shen Faxing's biological niece married Huang Mingxiang. What should he be afraid of?

    Thinking of this, Shen Faxing could not care about anything else, let alone whether his retreat would lead to a complete defeat for the entire army, so he immediately ordered the entire army to retreat.  In order to shirk responsibility, he sent someone to report to Yuanyou that his unit had collapsed and asked for support from the Chinese army.  Then, regardless of Yuanyou's situation, he withdrew.

    Yuanyou had insufficient troops and was fighting hard against the rebels. He was too busy to take care of himself that he could control Shen Faxing.  Hearing Shen Faxing's request for help, he immediately cursed.

    Shen Faxing was also ruthless and didn't give Yuanyou any time to react. He retreated so quickly that even the rebels couldn't catch up.  But as soon as Shen Faxing retreated, the Sui army's left wing was immediately completely exposed.

    Although Liu Yuanjin on the opposite side was not very good at commanding, and he had no idea why the Sui army in front of him suddenly ran away, it did not affect him from beating the drowned dog.  He immediately ordered his troops to cover up the killing, and ordered General Li Junfan to lead his troops to outflank the Sui army from the left flank.  Yuanyou was unable to withstand the enemy in the Chinese army, the Chinese army's defense line was breached, and the entire Sui army's situation finally collapsed.

    At this time, Yuanyou saw that the situation was not good and had no choice but to retreat.  Liu Yuanjin pursued them all the way, but most of the Sui army was lost and they fled back to Kuaiji City in embarrassment.

    There is no mention of how Yuanyou, who escaped, went to court with Shen Faxing, but Liu Yuanjin's rebels defeated Yuanyou's troops, which can be said to have boosted military morale.

    For bandits, defeating the main force of the official army for the first time is of great significance. This will greatly enhance their confidence, dispel their fear, and enable them to complete the transformation from bandits to regular troops.

    Seeing the victory, Liu Yuanjin planned to take advantage of the situation to attack Kuaiji, but was dissuaded by Zhuge Yin.  Zhuge Yin suggested that Liu Yuan just send a partial army to attack Kuaiji, and the focus of the strategy should be on the Yangtze River defense line.

    Liu Yuanjin ordered general Li Junfan to lead ten thousand people to attack Kuaiji, and he led his army back to Yuhang.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
