    When the Xingtai was first built, Huang Mingyuan decided to locate the Xingtai in Jixian County.

    Although it is located in the north, the land of Zhuojun has important sea and land routes and convenient transportation.  It is connected to Liaodong in the east, Feng and Dai in the west, grassland in the north, and Hebei counties in the south. It can also effectively integrate Huang Mingyuan's current troops.  At that time, if there is any trouble anywhere, support can be easily provided.

    This time, Huang Mingyuan did not take the Yongji Canal waterway, but went north from Jijun, along the official roads of Weijun, Wu'an, Xiangguo, Zhaojun, Hengshan, Boling, Shanggu and other counties at the eastern foot of the Taihang Mountains.  Go north.  Although it is hard work, it is flexible and easy to check the situation in each county.

    On September 26, Huang Mingyuan and his party entered Shanggu County. At this time, the Sui army Liu Yunfang's troops had recovered Shanggu County.

    When Huang Mingyuan went to the west to aid Yanmen, Wang Xuba led his troops to besiege Yi County. At that time, Huang Mingyuan was eager to rescue Yanmen and was unable to rescue Shanggu, so he left General Liu Yunfang to lead his troops to fight against the thieves.

    Wang Xuba was from Shanggu. When he was young, he gathered a group of teenagers from the county to become thieves.  Because of his extraordinary courage, thieves from all over the world joined him one after another, and Wang Xuba became the leading bandit in the area.

    The government encircled and suppressed him several times, but Wang Xuba had his back to the Taihang Mountains and knew the geographical advantage, so he was never wiped out.

    After Yang Guangdong was defeated in his campaign against Goguryeo, bandits arose everywhere, and Wang Xuba also took advantage of the situation and became a tycoon.  His troops fought in Shanggu, Hejian, Boling and other places, and their power continued to grow, reaching tens of thousands.

    So Wang Xuba called himself King Mantian, and his founding name was Yan.

    After Lu Mingyue was defeated by the Youzhou Army, the southern area of ??Shanggu occupied by him became a power vacuum.  Wang Xuba then took the opportunity to lead his troops to occupy Suicheng and other counties, becoming the largest rebel force in the Shanggu area.

    In the tenth year of the great cause, Wang Xuba was short of food, so he took the risk to attack Yixian County, the prefecture of Shanggu County.

    Shanggu County is a place severely ravaged by bandits in the North. Hebei thieves Lu Mingyue, Wang Xuba, Wei Daoer and others were all born here.

    The Shanggu area is close to the Great Wall, with barren land and strong folk customs.

    Although Guo Xuan was a good official, he had no soldiers or food. Faced with the raging bandits, he had to barely support him.  When Wang Xuba besieged Yi County, Guo Xuan, who had only two to three thousand men in his hand, could not resist, so he had to close the city and defend himself.

    Fortunately, although Wang Xuba's troops were numerous, except for a few core soldiers, they were mostly a ragtag group.  Facing the fortified city, although his troops attacked day and night, they were never able to attack the city.

    After besieging the city for several months, many of his troops were slack, so Wang Xuba laid siege to the city without attacking, and had no choice but to order his troops to plunder everywhere in Shanggu County.

    At this time, Liu Yunfang was ordered to lead his troops southward from Zhuojun. His army crossed Laishui and approached Yixian.

    Wang Xuba¡¯s general Wei Daoer¡¯s troops met Liu Yunfang west of Yixian County.  There was a fierce battle between the two sides, but Wei Daoer's troops were defeated and retreated south.

    Wang Xuba saw the main force of the Sui army arriving for reinforcements. He knew that his divisions were tired of veterans and far inferior to the elite Youzhou soldiers, so he led his troops to relieve the siege and retreat south.

    Wang Xuba wanted to flee south, but Liu Yunfang was not ready to let him go.

    Huang Mingyuan¡¯s order to Liu Yunfang was to take all Shanggu County, so Liu Yunfang could not let Wang Xuba continue to occupy the southern part of Shanggu County.

    At this time, it was the best opportunity to defeat Wang Xuba's troops, so Liu Yunfang led his troops to pursue south.

    Wang Xuba¡¯s troops marched slowly because they plundered a large amount of property.  His troops fled south for dozens of miles before being overtaken by Liu Yunfang's main force.

    The king had to pull out the weak followers under his command, defeat them with one blow, and scatter them in all directions.

    Wang Xuba saw that he was about to be defeated, so he fought tooth and nail against the Sui army.  He had tens of thousands of elite troops, forming a square formation to defend against the enemy.  He also ordered General Zhen Zhai'er to lead thousands of cavalry on both wings.

    Shanggu is prolific in cavalry and is a famous source of cavalry in Hebei.  Wang Xuba rebelled for a long time, and his core troops fought in various places for several years. After many battles, they were all elite.

    Liu Yunfang saw that the thieves were strong and knew that his troops might not be able to defeat the group of fierce bandits on the opposite side, so he ordered General Wang Junkuo to lead more than a thousand elite soldiers as the vanguard to attack to weaken the enemy's spirit.  Using thousands of strong crossbows as cover, Liu Yunfang led the main force behind him.

    The vanguard king Junkuo was also a fierce general. He was a horse dealer and his courage was astonishing.

    At this time, Wang Xuba on the opposite side was overjoyed to see that the Sui army's vanguard had few soldiers and most of them were infantry. He ordered his cavalry to charge the Sui army, trample on the enemy formation, and attempt to defeat the Sui army in one fell swoop.

    At this time, Wang Junkuo led the selected vanguards of the army to lie down calmly under the shield. When the cavalry under Wang Xuba rushed to a place only a few dozen steps away, everyone armed with spears and heavy axes, all attacked the bandits together.

    At the same time, Liu Yunfang ordered the troops in front of the formation toThousands of powerful crossbowmen fired thousands of arrows at the bandits' cavalry.

    Although Wang Xuba's cavalry was brave, not many of them wore armor. Facing the airtight arrows, they were shot one after another and fell off their horses. As a result, a group of people fell off their horses in the bandit formation.

    At this time, Wang Junkuo led his elite troops and rushed into the bandits, killing the rebels' headquarters.  Wang Xuba's cavalry was defeated and the whole army fell into chaos. The cavalry and infantry were all scrambling to escape.

    "The more the battle, the more brave Wang Junkuo's troops became. They killed Wang Xuba's general Wang Gang and beheaded countless people.

    Seeing that Wang Junkuo was victorious, Liu Yunfang ordered all his troops to pursue the enemy and annihilate all the bandit troops.

    Although there are many ruthless bandits under Wang Xuba's command, they are all a group of troops who can fight with the wind but not against the wind.  Seeing that the army was defeated, everyone only cared about themselves. Whoever cared about others fled.

    Wang Xuba could not be restrained, and he was threatened by the rebel army and fled south.

    The Sui army pursued them all the way and killed the bandits until they cried for their fathers and mothers.

    At this time, the army was pursuing south. Liu Yunfang led his army slowly behind, carrying only dozens of powerful crossbows and more than a hundred guards with halberds.

    Because the army had won and the main force was pursuing them, Liu Yunfang led his troops to a bridge to dismount their horses and unsaddle their horses and take a short rest.

    Unexpectedly at this time, more than 2,000 cavalrymen from Wang Xuba's troops suddenly appeared on the right side of Liu Yunfang and his party.  There were many people on the other side, so they swarmed up and surrounded Liu Yunfang's men.

    The opponent's arrows rained down like rain, and everyone fought and retreated, retreating to a low slope.

    The subordinates asked Liu Yunfang to retreat to a low slope for a while. Liu Yunfang slammed his helmet on the ground and said loudly: "A man would rather rush forward and die in battle than retreat. How can he survive by hiding behind the slope?"

    So Liu Yunfang commanded the crossbowmen to fight and killed many of the opponent's cavalry.  The bandits under Wang Xuba did not recognize Liu Yunfang. Seeing that the opponent's defense was strong, they gradually retreated.

    Soon after, Zhang Zhi led his troops to catch up and rescued Liu Yunfang and his party.

    Although there was such a small episode, which caused Liu Yunfang to be in danger, it did not actually affect the encirclement and annihilation of Wang Xuba's troops.

    The armies were in chaos, and Wang Xuba was wrapped in the chaos and rushed forward.  He didn't know who he tripped over, he shouted loudly, but of course no one cared.  Finally, in the chaos, Wang Xuba was killed among the rebels.

    "It's a pity that a generation of heroes ended up in pieces.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
