    While Huang Mingyuan pursued the remnants of Yang Xuangan to the west, the Sui troops around Luoyang also launched counterattacks against the rebels around Luoyang.

    Although Yang Xuangan's rebellion was massive and far-reaching, the combat effectiveness of the rebels was actually very limited.  In particular, a group of elites had been selected by Yang Xuangan a long time ago. Therefore, the more than 100,000 rebels in Luoyang were just a group of farmers who did not know how to fight and a group of old, weak, sick and disabled, and could not be considered an army at all.

    ¡°These people are partly opportunistic and partly coerced, and cannot be completely treated as rebels.

    When Huang Mingyuan arrived in Luoyang City, he was worried that Fan Zigai, a butcher, would become red-eyed and massacre all the rebels regardless of good or evil, so he took away his military power and dealt with the aftermath in the name of his defeat in Jiagou.  The power of affairs is only ordered to maintain the operation of Luoyang City.

    Fan Zigai was also unreasonable and had to hand over his military power in frustration.

    Huang Mingyuan handed over all the defense of Luoyang City and the aftermath of Henan County to Zhang Fangyi.

    Zhang Fangyi was originally a Henan Shaoyin and was familiar with the situation. He arranged for the rebels and civilians to be arranged in batches and categories, minimizing killings, reducing disputes, and eliminating incidents before they happened.

    Soon after, the Sui army from the east also captured Xingyang and Hulao Pass, and arrived in Luoyang. The puppet generals Han Shi'e, Gu Jue and others were captured.

    Among the people who followed Yang Xuangan in the rebellion, the one with the highest status and the most famous reputation, besides Li Zixiong, was Han Shi'e.

    As the son of the famous general Han Qinhu, Han Shi'er once served as the general manager of Liangzhou and was considered a general.  At first, he lost his title because Yang Guang changed the title system and had no official position, so he was very angry with Yang Guang.  This time, when he heard that Yang Xuangan was revolting, he didn't understand the situation, so he became angry and launched an army.  He originally thought that he could restore the glory of his ancestors, but Yang Xuangan did not trust him and did not entrust him with important tasks. He only sent Han Shi'e to lead three thousand troops and march eastward to Xingyang County.

    When Han Shi'e heard this, his heart became cold. He was the mainstay and the pillar of the country.

    It¡¯s just my own rebellion, so I have to continue crying.

    ?? Han Shi'e is also a capable person. At this moment, he bites the bullet and marches eastward until he reaches the foot of Xingyang City.

    The gates of Xingyang City were closed tightly. In order to protect their own lives, the county guards in the city and the local aristocratic families chose not to accept Han Shi'e or fight with Han Shi'e.  Xingyang is the gateway to the east of Luoyang and was originally an important place to defend Luoyang. However, the local aristocratic families were worried about the risks of changing dynasties and had no choice but to wait for the results of the battle in Luoyang.

    With 3,000 men and horses in hand, Han Shi'er could hardly break the city, but he was not willing to wait for the defenders in the city to show kindness.  In order to break the city, he secretly contacted his cousin Han Xiaofan, the Prime Minister of Xingyang County.

    Han Shi'e was originally adopted by Han Qinhu. His father was Han Qinhu's younger brother, the famous general Han Senshou. Han Xiaofan and Han Shi'e were actually brothers from the same mother.

    Han Xiaofan was also bold. While everyone in the city was still arguing, he took advantage of the chaos and suddenly took action, leading his followers to open the city gate and welcome Han Shi'e into the city.

    After Han Shier occupied Xingyang City, he coerced the big families in the city headed by the Zheng family to help him defend the city.  At this time, the Zheng family was headed by Zheng Shanyuan, the second brother of the patriarch Xin Gong Zheng Yuanxuan, the prefect of Wencheng County. They did not dare to fight against Han Shi'e, so they had to obey Han Shi'e's orders and sacrifice their lives and property for him.

    With the help of Sasuke from a noble family in the city, Han Shi'er's strength greatly increased. The number of troops at his disposal increased to more than 10,000, and he even once sent troops eastward to attack Dongjun.

    However, the good times did not last long. At this time, the general came to protect the children from the west, and Xingyang City was the first to bear the brunt.

    ????????? Han Shi¡¯er is a second-generation official who is a serious official, and he once served as a high-ranking official in charge, so he doesn¡¯t look down on Hu¡¯er at all.  Seeing that Hu'er was rising up the ranks as the emperor's confidant, this time Han Shi'er tried his best to give Lai Hu'er some color.

    The nurse came to the west in a hurry, and the equipment was not complete.

    ??????? Han Shi¡¯e took possession of the city, while Lai Hu¡¯er led his army to attack the city. The two sides launched an offensive and defensive battle in Xingyang City.

    Han Shier had the geographical advantage, and Lai Huer had the advantage of having more troops, so for a while, no one could defeat the other.  The two sides fought for nearly ten days in Xingyang City, each with their own victory or defeat, but Lai Hu'er did not capture Xingyang City.

    At this time, news from Luoyang broke the stalemate between the two sides.

    Yang Xuangan was defeated and fled westward.

    Soon the news spread secretly in Xingyang City, and all the major families in the city knew that it was time to abandon Han Shi'e.

    At this time, the aristocratic families headed by the Zheng family gathered in secret, gathered private soldiers, contacted Lai Huer from outside the city, opened the gates of Xingyang City again, and lured Huer into the city.

    Han Shier, who was still thinking hard about countermeasures, heard that the Zheng family had rebelled., the news came that Hu'er had entered the city, and I was shocked.  But Han Shi'e is not stupid either. He knows very well that the Zheng family and others are the local gangsters in Xingyang. People's hearts are with the Zheng family, and they are not comparable to him.  At this time, the city of Xingyang had been broken, and Lai Hu'er's troops were far superior to his. If he fought with Lai Hu'er again in Xingyang, he had little chance of winning, so Han Shi'e hurriedly ordered the entire army to break out.

    At this time, Han Shi'e rushed to the barracks and mobilized his old troops to go west. He also abandoned the newly recruited troops.  In Han Shi'e's view, many of these newly recruited soldiers were members of the Zheng family, and they were completely unreliable.  Therefore, Han Shi'e broke out and took only the 3,000 troops he brought to Xingyang.

    However, Han Shier still overestimated the cohesion of his troops.

    After his troops escaped from Xingyang, when they heard the news of Yang Xuangan's defeat, they fled one after another.  These troops were all newly recruited soldiers, and most of them were farmers. They had no loyalty to Yang Xuangan.  At this time, when he heard that Yang Xuangan was defeated, he still fled for his life, fearing that he would not be able to lose contact with the rebels.

    Before Han Shier arrived at Hulao Pass, more than half of his troops had already fled.

    Han Shi'er hurriedly and slowly arrived at Hulao Pass. He thought he could breathe a sigh of relief, but he didn't expect that Luoyang's soldiers had already divided their forces to attack Hulao Pass.

    The main general in Guanzhong is Gu Jue. Although Gu Jue is Yang Xuangan's confidant, he is obviously not a good general.

    Pei Renji and Lai Zheng came west from Jinyong City on Huang Mingyuan's orders. After occupying Yanshi, they approached Hulao Pass.  Although Hulao Pass is a dangerous pass in the world, it actually protects against the east but not the west.

    Because Hulao Pass is actually one of the outer defense lines of Luoyang, the imperial court was naturally prepared for the danger of rebellion by someone occupying the pass.  The Sui army easily broke through the city wall and barracks to the west of Hulao Pass, and held a stalemate with Gu Jue at Hulao Pass.

    Although the arrival of Han Shi'e supplemented some of Gu Jue's troops, it was of little significance.

    Han Shi'er also tried his best to help Gu Jue defend the city, but the soldiers and horses in Guanzhong had long been demoralized and had no fighting spirit. No matter how Han Shi'er and Gu Jue encouraged them, it had no effect.  Many people even lowered themselves from the city walls at night and defected to the Sui army.

    When the main force came from the east to protect the children, the two sides attacked. Hulao Pass fell into the hands of the Sui army, and Han Shi'e himself was captured.

    So far, the connection between Luoyang and Shandong counties has been completely opened.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
