    Huang Mingyuan left Liucheng with Deng Hao and Yang Linfu.

    Deng Hao has gone through many ups and downs, but he is also a person who can take things up and let them go. He knows that he may not be able to return to Liucheng. From then on, his honor and disgrace will all hang on Huang Mingyuan, so he does his best to please him.  As for Yang Linfu, he did not have the magnanimity of his in-laws, and was still unwilling to lose the power of the prefect.  Huang Mingyuan didn't get used to him, so he handed him over to Du Ruhui and treated him as an idle worker.

    Soon after Huang Mingyuan left Liucheng, his cousin Huang Mingxin led more than 10,000 troops and a group of officials to Liucheng and took over the defense and civil affairs of Liucheng.

    The soldiers were pressed, and the person who lost leaders in Liucheng County was unable to stop at all.

    Huang Mingxin took this opportunity to make drastic changes, eliminating the original civil and military officials in Liucheng and replacing them with Fengzhou officials he brought with him. Soon the entire county of Liucheng was named Huang.

    Huang Mingxin also followed Huang Mingyuan¡¯s instructions to upgrade Luhe Town (today¡¯s west of Jinzhou City, Liaoning Province) to a county, serving as the core hub to defend the Western Liaoning Corridor.

    At this time, Huang Mingyuan had already followed Bailangshui to the southwest and arrived at Linyu Pass.

    Linyu is a place built on the fast-flowing Yu River. It was actually stationed by the Imperial Guard before. There is Linyu Palace not far to the west.  However, after Yang Guang's second expedition to Goguryeo, he no longer came to Liaodong, and the place was gradually abandoned.  During Huang Mingyuan's third expedition to Goguryeo, he stationed 500 officers and soldiers here to ensure road traffic.

    This time back to the Central Plains, Huang Mingyuan left another order for Huang Mingxin to build a new pass at the Jieshi Pass, sixty miles away from Linyu Pass, with Yanshan Mountain in the north and Bohai Sea in the south. Huang Mingyuan named it Shanhaiguan Pass.

    Linyu Pass, together with Shanhaiguan Pass, will become the most solid barrier guarding the North China Plain.

    After passing Linyu Pass, we entered Beiping County, officially entering the land of Yanzhao.

    Hebei is currently in the most chaos, with countless bandits everywhere.  The counties in Yannan are better off, but there are also groups of bandits, large and small, wreaking havoc.

    At this time, the general manager of Pingzhou was Li Jing.

    Li Jingguan paid homage to General Youwuwei and the general manager of Pingzhou.  Li Jing was originally Yang Guang's confidant, favored and favored. When Yang Guang inspected Hexi, he authorized Li Jing to sit in front of Qi King Yang Jian, and his status in the army was only lower than Huang Mingyuan and Yu Wenshu.

    But later, Yang Guang carried out large-scale hunting in Longchuan Palace. Both Li Jing and Guo Yan made dissatisfied remarks, which were later reported to Yang Guang.  Yang Guangmao was angry and ordered Guo Yan to be dismissed. Li Jing was also implicated and dismissed.

    Although Li Jingguan was later reinstated, he performed many meritorious deeds during the Eastern Campaign against Goguryeo and was promoted to Duke Hua, but he lost the trust of the emperor.  Yang Guang's attitude towards Li Jing was also far worse than before.  Although he did not take the position of general, he was actually placed in Beiping County and has not moved. It is seen that rising stars such as Lai Huer and Xue Shixiong have surpassed him.

    At this time, Beiping County was not stable. There were two gangs, Yang Zhongxu and Gao Kaidao, wreaking havoc in the county.

    Although the Pingzhou general manager was appointed in Beiping, there were not many soldiers and horses.  Because of the Eastern Expedition to Goguryeo, Huang Mingzhen transferred a large number of veterans with combat experience from Beiping County to Liaodong, and there were very few troops left in the territory.

    Li Jing took office alone.  After the Yang Xuangan Rebellion, the main force of the Youwu Guards was transferred back to Luoyang by Yang Guang, and was led by Youwu Guard General Huangfu Wuyi as the Luoyang Guards.

    After Li Jing took office, he faced internal and external troubles, so of course he had to tighten his military power.

    Zhao Shiti, the general of Hu Benlang in Pingzhou's general administration, held eight thousand elite troops and stationed them in Lulongsai to accept the command and supplies from Youzhou.  Li Jing ordered him to lead his troops south several times, but Zhao Shiti refused on the grounds of guarding Lulongsai. Later, Li Jing pressed harder, and Zhao Shiti did not respond at all.

    Li Jing had no soldiers, so he had no choice but to recruit them.

    But Beiping County only governed Lulong County, which was already sparsely populated and had depleted troops. Li Jing had no place to recruit troops.  He managed to recruit three to four thousand people, but the bandits everywhere gave Li Jing no chance to breathe.

    There are no soldiers in Beiping County to suppress the bandits, and the bandits are becoming more and more fierce.

    Li Jing conquered the rebel bandits several times and was severely defeated. However, each time the bandits were defeated but not destroyed, their power became more and more powerful.

    At the end of the ninth year of Daye, two bandits from Beiping County, Yang Zhongxu and Gao Kaidao, joined forces.  Li Jing led an army to conquer and surrounded the two men in Fuzhou Mountain.

    Yang and Gao failed to break through the encirclement many times, so Gao Kaidao ordered Xie Leng to surrender to Li Jing and claimed that he could open the camp gate to provide internal support for Li Jing.

    Li Jing did not believe Xie Leng's false surrender, but seeing that the attack was not going well, he prepared to use his plan to defeat the rebels.  Unexpectedly, Gao Kaidao did not believe Li Jing, so he took the opportunity to set up an ambush and ordered his troops to bypass Li Jing's troops and attack Li Jing's camp directly.

    Li Jingzheng was fighting fiercely with Gao Kaidao, when he suddenly heard that the campThere was chaos, and I was shocked.  The majority of his troops were new soldiers and could not be restrained, so many of them collapsed.

    Li Jing could not control it, so he had to retreat to Lulong City under the influence of a group of defeated troops.

    Yang Zhongxu and Gao Kaidao won and took advantage of the situation to surround Lulong City.

    Li Jing led the remaining troops to retreat to Lulong City. His army was trapped in the isolated city, with no strong army inside and no reinforcements outside.  For nearly half a year, the two sides fought several battles, and the Peking Army had to barely hold on.

    When winter came, the weather was cold and freezing, and six out of ten officers and soldiers in Lulong City died of swollen feet and illness. If Li Jing had not comforted them one by one, so that the soldiers in the city did not mutiny and defect, Lulong City would have been destroyed long ago.

    Before Yang Guangdong conquered Goguryeo, he accumulated a large amount of food and cloth in Lulong City. Li Jing relied on these supplies and generously rewarded the soldiers to defend Lulong.

    In fact, Pingzhou is not without troops. In addition to Zhao Shiti's tribe, who is stationed from Linyu Pass to the west of Linyu Palace is Fan Yuan, the captain of Beiping County. His tribe has more than 2,000 people, all of whom are elite.

    Li Jing also recruited Fan Yuan to go to Lulong, but Fan Yuan refused on the grounds that he was guarding Linyu Palace.  Guarding the emperor's palace was an obligatory task, and Fan Yuan refused openly.

    When Huang Mingyuan arrived at Linyu Palace, Fan Yuan hurried out to greet him.  For more than a year, he had lived a comfortable life in Linyu Palace. The palace was rich in reserves and there were two thousand veterans. The bandits from Beiping County did not dare to attack this place.

    After Huang Mingyuan entered the palace, Fan Yuan told Huang Mingyuan one by one about the situation in Beiping County.

    Huang Mingyuan did not blame them for not following Li Jing's orders.  It's not that Huang Mingyuan has any objections to Li Jing. The relationship between the two parties is actually very good, but no matter how good the relationship is, the rights cannot be given away.

    But Huang Mingyuan couldn't just sit back and watch Li Jingchuan kill Lu Long.  Li Jing was trapped in an isolated city, and the final result could only be death.

    " Moreover, the two thieves Yang Zhongxu and Gao Kaidao are not weak. It is not a good thing to let them continue to wreak havoc south of Yanshan Mountain.

    Huang Mingyuan then ordered to turn back to Lulong. Du Ruhui hurriedly advised Huang Mingyuan to focus on rescue and not to delay along the way.

    Huang Mingyuan said: "I have written to Zhongchang and asked him to mobilize the troops. This will also take time. We are in a hurry to go to Youzhou, and we have to wait when we get to Jixian. We might as well rescue Lulong. Besides, Li Jing is the surviving member of the Sui Dynasty.  Save the few veterans if you can." (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
