    On October 1, Zheng Yanqing, Li Jing, Liang Mo and others who came from the north also rushed to Jinyang City.

    After Zheng Yanqing and Li Jing defeated Qiao Zhongkui, they gathered nearly 30,000 troops and headed straight for Lanzhou.  Lanzhou is the northern barrier of Bingzhou. Once the three northern towns capture Lanzhou, they can directly threaten Yang Liang's hinterland.

    Liang Mo, who had been watching in Shuozhou at this time, saw that Zheng Yanqing had solved the siege of Daizhou, and he didn't look good on his face.  We are all in the northern military town, and we all rely on each other. If you have a bad relationship with Daizhou this time, if something happens to you in the future, others may not take care of you.

    And this time it involved the court's rebellion, it belongs to the problem of standing teams, and it must not be sloppy.  If someone tells me that my heart is for the King of Han and I am defending the city, no matter what, I am afraid it will be too much for me.

    Having figured this out, Liang Mo immediately became nervous. He immediately mobilized 10,000 troops and went south to pursue Zheng Yanqing, hoping to reunite Zheng Yanqing and Li Jing in time. Even if he could not make meritorious deeds, at least he would not be held accountable.

    Shuozhou was not far from Daizhou, and Liang Mo quickly caught up with Zheng Yanqing and Li Jing in Nao County (now Naoyang Town, Yuanping City, Shanxi Province).

    When the three of them met, Liang Mo kept accompanying them.  Although Zheng Yanqing looked fine, whether he rescued Daizhou or not had little to do with him, but Li Jing was annoyed by Liang Mo.

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? How can such a fatal matter be acted upon by one's will? Do you want me to die like this?

    The three armies moved southward tacitly, and Zheng Yanqing took the initiative to take the initiative to separate the two armies.  Although it is difficult for Zheng Yanqing to qualify for this position, Daizhou Army and Shuozhou Army cannot be allowed to get into trouble again.

    The main force of the Sui army arrived at Xinkou, where General Mo Bi under Qiao Zhongkui was stationed.

    Mo Bi was a brave general under Qiao Zhongkui. When Qiao Zhongkui attacked Daizhou, Mo Bi, as a partial force, was ordered to sweep the southern counties of Daizhou.  After the news of Qiao Zhongkui's death came, Mo Bi knew that it would be difficult to resist, so he immediately led his troops south and stationed at Xinkou to stop the Sui army.

    Xinkou is located at the break of Xinkou Mountain, leaning on Yunzhong River on the left and Wutai Mountain on the right. It is the northern barrier of Bingzhou and the key pass to the north of Jinyang.  Although Qiao Zhongkui died in the battle at this time, Mo Bi was brave and guarded the place with three thousand troops and refused to surrender.

    The main force of the Sui army attacked several times, but was repelled by Mo Bi.

    The terrain of Xinkou is extremely dangerous. The main hill is surrounded by undulating mountains and ravines. The ridges divide the twenty-mile frontage at the entrance of the Xinding Basin into two tunnels. The roads are narrow and the Sui army cannot use its strength at all.  Due to its superiority, its main cavalry was unable to participate in the decisive battle.

    Mo Bi divided the main force into three. Except for the main hillock, nearly half of the force was deployed in the two small villages of Nanhuaihuazhuang and Xinkouzhuang.  Nanhuaihua and Xinkou, as two small villages on the left and right passages, are like two bird's-eyes overlooking Xinkou. The strategic throat position is self-evident.

    Seeing that the manpower advantage could not be used, Zheng Yanqing suggested that the entire army be divided into three and attack separately.

    Zheng Yanqing led the Fengzhou Army to attack the frontal hills, while Li Jing and Liang Mo led the Daizhou Army and Shuozhou Army to attack Nanhuai Huazhuang and Xinkou Village respectively.  Such an arrangement diluted Mo Bi's defensive forces, making Mo Bi's arrangement stretched.

    Fengzhou Army and Mo Bi launched a fierce tug-of-war on the front hill. They attacked the hill three times and were suppressed again.

    Zheng Yanqing was unwilling to fight Mo Bi for his life, so the main force of the Sui army was blocked here by Mo Bi for several days, and it was always difficult to advance.

    At this time, Zheng Yanqing, under the guidance of local people, found a path covered by weeds from the front of the hill.  Forty miles above Xinkou there are empty solitary mountains, covered with weeds and few people.

    Zheng Yanqing ordered Cai Zhiyun to lead hundreds of elite soldiers to secretly pass through the path behind Mo Bi, and take advantage of the fierce battle between the Sui army and Mo Bi's troops to launch a sudden attack.

    Mo Bi had few troops and had already suffered heavy losses after these days of fierce fighting.  At this time, Cai Zhiyun suddenly came out, cutting off Mo Bi's retreat, and Mo Bi had no remaining troops to stop Cai Zhiyun's troops.  Mo Bi fought bloody battles for a day, but failed to repel Cai Zhiyun's troops. On the contrary, the number of troops became less and less as the battle progressed, and they suffered all losses.

    On September 26, Mo Bi died in Xinkou, and the entire army was wiped out.  Although this battle was not a big one, it was actually admirable compared to the overwhelming defeat of hundreds of thousands of the main force of the Han rebels.

    After the Sui army captured Xinkou, Zheng Yanqing, Liang Mo and Li Jing discussed that the main force would first capture Lanzhou to the west, clear out the rebels on the flanks, and then attack Jinyang southward.

    The army headed straight towards Jingle County, the seat of Lanzhou, and surrounded the officials of Lanzhou who were caught off guard.

    After Qiao Zhongkui went north, Lanzhou's troops and horses were mobilized and they were unable to defend them. Lanzhou officials then invited the imprisoned former Lanzhou Sima Taomo to report to the Sui army.Please surrender.

    Tao Mo was imprisoned because he opposed Qiao Zhongkui's rebellion with Yang Liang.  This process lasted for more than a month. When the pottery mold came out, things and people had changed, and the world had changed.

    Tao Mo didn¡¯t want Lanzhou to suffer another military disaster, so he accepted the recommendation and led people to Zheng Yanqing¡¯s army.

    Zheng Yanqing, Li Jing and others discussed how to deal with a group of die-hard loyalists of Han King Yang Liang, and ordered Tao Mo to temporarily manage Lanzhou, and then led the main force to continue southward to Jinyang.

    ??Everyone hurriedly hurried, but they didn't expect that Huang Mingyuan had conquered Jinyang and put down the rebellion of the Han Dynasty. They were all shocked.

    In one month, running thousands of miles and annihilating hundreds of thousands of enemies is impossible even for famous generals in ancient times.

    The troops from the three towns moved south, which made Huang Mingyuan breathe a sigh of relief. This time the rebellion of the Han Dynasty was controlled within the Great Wall and did not spread beyond the Great Wall.

    At this time, Zheng Yanqing presented Qiao Zhongkui's head. Huang Mingyuan looked at this fierce general who followed him into the battle last year and felt really sad.

    It is expected that during the Northern Expedition, Huang Mingyuan did not trust Qiao Zhongkui and was always wary.  But Qiao Zhongkui is a rare general who has a sense of the overall situation and is not lacking in courage and strategy. He has been fighting for several months and made many military exploits. Huang Mingyuan also admired him in the end.

    Especially after Yang Jian's death, Huang Mingyuan was afraid that Qiao Zhongkui would follow the Han Dynasty to rebel, and he was also worried about the disaster and the nearly 10,000 Bingzhou elites under his command who had experienced the Northern Expedition. Therefore, he sent several letters to Qiao Zhongkui in a row, hoping to persuade Qiao Zhongkui to turn back. Unfortunately, he failed.  In the end, Qiao Zhongkui followed Yang Liang all the way to the dark side and died on the battlefield, which was regarded as being loyal to Yang Liang.

    "How important a soldier who has experienced the grassland fighting and returned alive is to the country. For the sake of ambition, the King of Han killed nearly 10,000 of our elite soldiers. When will the Sui Dynasty be able to make up for these lost talents?"

    Zheng Yanqing also reported the news of Yang Sien's death in battle. He had seen this kind of thing so many times that he could only sigh.  Huang Mingyuan sighed helplessly and asked Zheng Yanqing to deal with Yang Sien's funeral affairs. If necessary, his family could be moved to Fengzhou so that his children and parents would not be left helpless.

    In this battle, too many people died, both on one¡¯s own side and on the other side, just because of some people¡¯s ambitions, which is really not worth it.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
