Taking advantage of the favorable opportunity of Sun Rujun's rescue, Yang Xingmi readjusted his deployment and took advantage of the situation to capture Runzhou (now Zhenjiang), Changzhou, and Suzhou (now Suzhou).

However, the strength of Caizhou Diao's soldiers was indeed not in vain, after driving away the troublesome Pang Shigu army, Sun Ru attacked again, and his powerful offensive made Yang Xingmi's hard-working defense line collapse as fast as a bony mino. Runzhou, Changzhou, and Suzhou were all lost again.

There is a reason why Sun Ru always chooses to move first in the east. Runzhou, Changzhou, and Suzhou are all big states, and it is not a joke to let Yang Xingmi take root. Moreover, crossing the river from Yangzhou can transport troops and materials along the canal, and the army can wait for work.

If the eastern front is solved, Yang Xingmi will become a turtle in the urn. Because from the topographical point of view, Gucheng Lake, Shibai Lake, and Nanyi Lake east of Xuanzhou blocked his escape route to the northeast, and the only two remaining roads in the middle of the three lakes only needed to control the key points of Lishui (now southeast of Nanjing) and Dangtu (now Dangtu County); To retreat to the southeast, you can choose to go through Xuanzhou-Ningguo-Hangzhou all the way, but Qian Biao in Hangzhou is making a feud because Yang Xingmi had captured Changzhou before, and I am afraid that he will not show mercy to villains like Yang Xingmi; To the west, you can enter the Yangtze River through Xuanzhou-Chizhou, and then go to Huangzhou, Hubei or Jiujiang into the hinterland of Jiangxi, but Du Hong of Wuchang and Zhong Chuan of Hongzhou are not good men and women, and this kind of beating of water dogs will not be missed.

After completing the offensive on the Eastern Front, Sun Ru's army swept through like a whirlwind, and the cities and garrisons everywhere were overwhelmed, and the front army had advanced to the Lishui-Huangchi (now Dangtu County, Anhui) line. Fortunately, the general Li Shenfu commanded properly, and took advantage of the enemy's unstable foothold to attack the enemy village in Lishui at night, which barely blocked the advance of Sun Ru's army.

In short, at that time, Huangchao established Daqi, the country name Dashun, and the second year of Dashun was a year of many disasters and difficulties for Yang Xingmi. Several major wars were lost throughout the year. Liu Wei and Zhu Yanshou led 30,000 troops to fight Sun Ru in a decisive battle in Huangchi, and fled back in defeat. It was only fortunate that the rainy season in the south of the Yangtze River had destroyed all of Sun Ru's military camps, so that the plague god Sun Ru withdrew.

In the battle of Guangde (now Xuanchengdong), if it were not for the manpower battle of the general Li Jianshuai, Yang Xingmi's life would not be guaranteed, and I am afraid that the battle for hegemony in Huainan would have ended. In such an unfavorable situation, even the real heroes will be short of breath. Yang Xingmi persevered with tenacity, expecting the enemy to reveal his fatal weakness.

In order to completely defeat Yang Xingmi, Sun Ru, who was brutal and ranked in the top five in the five dynasties, issued an order that completely devoid of people. He burned down all the houses in Yangzhou, adopted a policy of sweeping the numbers into soldiers, and forcibly conscripted all Ding Zhuang and women into the army.

In order to make up for the lack of military rations, he also imitated Qin Zongquan to kill the old and the weak as military rations, and then left Yangzhou. This act of exterminating people finally made Sun Ru's beast soldiers come to an end (you can compare Yang Xingmi's actions, I believe that no one will support a beast like Sun Ru.) Yang Xing's secret department infiltrated Zhang Xun and Li Decheng into Yangzhou, extinguished the remaining fire, and collected hundreds of thousands of people from Degu to help the hungry, which won the hearts of the people. At that time, Zhang Ji, the assassin of Sizhou (now Sizhou), asked for food to survive the hunger in the army, and Zhang Xun received tens of thousands of Hu from him according to Yang Xingmi's order.

In the eyes of the warlords at that time, food was the root of life, and the so-called borrowed grain was often borrowed but not returned, not to say that it was difficult for non-subordinates to get food, even if they were fathers and sons, and brothers would fight for food. Yang Xingmi received so much food from Zhang Ji, who was not his subordinate, and he couldn't help but make Zhang Ji grateful.

This incident laid the groundwork for the future battle of Qingkou. Let's go back to Sun Ru. Things that are dying always come back for a while. This time, in order to ensure that there were enough Jīng sharp troops on the forward line, he transferred Liu Jianfeng and Ma Yin's subordinates, who were guarding Changzhou, to attack in a wide frontal manner along the line of Su and Changzhou-Xuanzhou. His beast attacks were always very fierce at the beginning, and once again they approached Xuanzhou, and successfully surrounded Xuanzhou for the first time in December of the second year of Dashun, and it seemed that they were about to be done once and for all.

However, Yang Xingmi listened to the correct opinions of Liu Wei, Li Shenfu, and Dai Yougui, and defended Shangtun according to the danger, and the strong wall cleared the field with the old division, and the light cavalry copied its salaries and captured its prisoners; escort the people of Huainan back to their hometowns, restore their normal lives, and psychologically disintegrate the fighting spirit of Sun Rujun; In addition, Li Shenfu was sent as the envoy of Xuanchi Du, Tao Ya guarded Runzhou, Zhang Xun attacked Chuzhou (now Huaiyīn), and then attacked Changzhou with light troops.

Sun Ru's battle plan is actually clearly a one-shot deal, if it succeeds, Huainan is in hand, if it is not successful, it will inevitably die without a place to be buried. He was fighting completely by force, neither on the flanks nor at the rear, not even in reserve.

In this way of fighting, once the battle under Xuanzhou City is stalemate, supplies and reinforcements will become a problem, and morale will definitely decline. His roguelike style is too serious and too serious, how can the local people support him when he burns and loots a place? On the contrary, his opponent Yang Xingmi attached great importance to the construction of the base area, although he was repeatedly at a disadvantage in the confrontation with Sun Ru, he was always able to rely on the base area to launch a counterattack, and he also paid great attention to the struggle for the hearts and minds of the people in various places in the campaign (even if this is an image project, it is really rare).

In the fourth year of neutralization, the long battle for hegemony in Huainan has finally come to an end, and the battle of Wang Mandu has been over for three months, at this time Duan Mingyu has already formed his right army of the Shence Army in Chang'an, and Huang Chao has also been awarded the head. In May, Sun Rujun's army was already in a predicament, they had no way out under the double blow of Yang Xingmi's military and politics, it can be said that Yang Xingmi was already in control, but as a heroic figure in Jianghuai, what he wanted was a real name. Yang Xingmi issued an urgent document to the imperial court at this time, requesting the imperial court to increase troops, and he knew that the imperial court was unwilling to meddle in Jianghuai affairs for thousands of miles.

Sure enough, as he expected, not long after, Sun Ru Xuanzhou lost repeatedly under the city, and the Guangde camp was broken, and Zhang Xun tun Anji again, cutting off the grain route. In June, Sun Ru couldn't retreat if he wanted to, in this case, the rain in June in the south of the Yangtze River was raining, the original road was muddy, and the original Su, Chang, Run, and Yang strongholds were occupied by Yang Xingmi and Qian Di, and the weakness of not paying attention to the base area was finally completely exposed.

Due to the large number of troops in the camp, Sun Ru's troops not only ran out of food, but also broke out of malaria due to health problems. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Yang Xingmi broke Sun Ru's camp and beheaded Sun Ru. Sun Ru's troops surrendered to Yang Xingmi, only Liu Jianfeng and Ma Yin led the remnants of 7,000 people to escape, Jianghuai after several years of turmoil, the deer died in the hand, and finally the dust settled, Yang Xingmi became the biggest winner. ，
