At Yang Guang's repeated insistence, although Gao Ying reluctantly agreed that he would cross the river from Liuhe with the main force of the Sui army led by Yu Wenshu and go to Jiangzuo to command the battle, not long after Yang Guang crossed the river, Gao Ying quietly ordered Yu Wenshu to ensure the safety of the generalissimo and not to let him come to the battlefield in person. And he himself, on the grounds of coordinating and commanding the soldiers and horses of the east and west to encircle Jiankang and the east and west, took the lead in rushing to Xinlin, joined the Han Capture Tiger Army, and launched the first wave of attacks on Jiankang City.

Because Pei Yunchong was the internal response, he successfully persuaded Ren Zhong, the general of Southern Chen, to open the Vermilion Bird Gate and guide the Sui army into the city, so Gao Ying followed the men and horses led by Han Baohu to rush all the way into Jiankang City.

When the Sui army approached outside the gate of Taicheng, Gao Ying was reported in the army that there was a general of the Nanchen forbidden army, who claimed to be the internal response of the imperial court placed in the Nanchen Palace, and asked to see him.

Gao Ying ordered someone to bring Pei Yun to him, and listened to him report his name and title, only to know that he was the Pei Yun who had never met Pei Yun, who had heard his name for a long time and had never met Pei Yun, who first revealed the "Goose's Nest" and Guan Zizai news to the imperial court, couldn't help but be overjoyed, and heard Pei Yun come to tell Chen Shubao that he had taken two favorite concubines to hide in the imperial garden, so he ordered Pei Yun to lead the way, and personally led hundreds of soldiers straight to the imperial garden to arrest Chen Shubao.

Li Hun was with Gao Ying at that time, and heard Pei Yun come to report that Chen Shubao, the emperor of Southern Chen, fled into the imperial garden with his two favorite concubines, and remembered the secret messenger given to him by Yang Guang, so he followed Gao Ying and rushed to the imperial garden to arrest Chen Shubao.

Gao Ying led Li Hun and hundreds of other Sui army soldiers to ignore the scattered and fleeing people in the Nanchen Palace along the way, and soon came to the gate of the Imperial Garden. Gao Ying immediately ordered his sergeants to surround a royal garden, and personally led Li Hun and others into the garden to capture Chen Shubao.

After inquiring with the palace people and eunuchs who were hiding in the imperial garden, it was learned that Uncle Chen's treasure was hidden in a dry well. Gao Ying took Li Hun and others to the dry well, and ordered the sergeant to shout to the well, asking Chen Shubao to come out of the well and surrender. However, several sergeants took turns shouting for a long time, but they could not hear a single human voice in the dry well.

Later, Li Hun came up with an idea, stood by the well in person, put his hands to his mouth, and shouted loudly into the well: "Listen, if you don't come out again, we can throw stones into the well." ”

Before he could finish speaking, he heard a man's voice from the bottom of the well, and hurriedly said, "Don't throw stones, please ask the general to throw down a rope and pull me up." ”

Hearing that Chen Shubao was dying, he still didn't forget to call himself a bow, including Gao Ying, and the Sui army soldiers who surrounded the well burst into laughter. According to Gao Ying's order, a sergeant threw a rope into the well, and the two sergeants worked together to pull Chen Shubao out of the well at the bottom of the well.

But these two strong Sui army sergeants used all their strength, but they couldn't pull Chen Shubao out of the well.

"This emperor of Nanchen turned out to be a big fat man!" Seeing this, the other Sui sergeants grinned and stepped forward, joining forces with the two sergeants to pull the rope up.

As soon as the people pulling on the rope came out of the well platform, the Sui army sergeants who were surrounding the well platform saw that it was not only Chen Shubao who was hanging at the other end of the rope, but also two women, a total of three people, and couldn't help but let out a burst of laughter.

"Whoever you are, each of them will report their names!" Gao Ying waited for the three people in the well to crawl out of the well in embarrassment, collapsed to the ground, and shouted at them.

Chen Shubao and Kong Guifei trembled and reported their names, but when Zhang Lihua reported their names, Gao Ying's face sank, and before Li Hun next to him could react, he turned around and pulled out his sword from the waist of a sergeant beside him, and couldn't help but say that when he saw a sword in his chest, he pierced Zhang Lihua's chest.

Li Hun let out an exclamation almost at the same time as Chen Shubao, and hurriedly stepped forward to stop him: "Leave people under the sword ......."

Gao Ying looked back at Li Hun in surprise, pointed at Zhang Lihua's body with the tip of her sword, and explained to the entourage: "In the past, the Taigong masked and killed Da, so that the Zhou Dynasty would not be bewitched by such evil in the 800 years of the country. ”

The entourage of the sergeants was passionate, and they all raised their arms and shouted: "Kill the demon queen, level the south of the Yangtze River, and restore the unification of China." I, the Emperor of the Great Sui, am a saint, and a high servant is wise. ”

Among them, Li Hun was the only one who looked at Zhang Lihua's beautiful face and swallowed bitter water silently.

Gao Ying led people to capture Chen Shubao, the queen of Southern Chen, alive next to a dry well in the back garden of Taicheng. At the same time, Han Baohu, Du Yan and others also led the army to rush into Taicheng, captured Jiang Zong, Shi Wenqing and other Southern Chen courtiers alive, and escorted them to Guangzhao Hall to meet Gao Ying and others.

And Kong Fan, who had sworn in front of Chen Shubao to lead the army to defeat the Sui army and was promoted to the rank of official, was also recognized by the Southern Chen general under He Ruobi when he took advantage of the chaos to disguise himself and wanted to sneak out of Jiankang City, and he was arrested and returned to Taicheng.

Gao Ying saw that He Ruobi and Han Baohu had a smooth meeting in the Guangzhao Hall in Taicheng, and on the one hand instructed the sergeant to treat Chen Shubao and a group of captured Southern Chen courtiers, and on the other hand sent Li Hun to the outside of the city to welcome Yang Guang into the city to be surrendered.

Li Hun was negligent for a while, and did not stop Gao Ying from swinging his sword and beheading Zhang Lihua in time, and with a nervous mood, he was ordered to go out of the city and rushed to the Sui army camp to meet Yang Guang, and reported to him that the Sui army had captured Jiankang, captured Chen Shubao alive, and Gao Ying swung his sword to kill Zhang Lihua.

Yang Guang was not only happy that the two strange soldiers had captured Jiankang, the capital of the Southern Chen Emperor, in the first few months after crossing the river, but also felt quite embarrassed by Gao Ying's sword and beheading Zhang Lihua, and couldn't help but have a trace of doubt in his heart about Gao Ying's true intention to kill Zhang Lihua.

In view of the fact that although Jiankang City has been captured by two strange soldiers, and the upper reaches of the river are still garrisoned by the heavy troops led by Zhou Luoyu, the general of Nanchen, and the important towns along the river such as Nanyuzhou in the lower reaches are still in the hands of the Nanchen army, Yang Guang received the news from Li Hun, and immediately sent 600 li to rush to Jiangling, and ordered Yang Jun of the Middle Route Army to send troops to launch a fierce attack on Jiujiang, and at the same time ordered Yu Wenshu to lead a total of 20,000 troops from the headquarters of the army, starting from Xinlin outside Jiankang City, immediately reinforcing Yanrong all the way to the east, and taking Nanyuzhou from Nanchen as soon as possible. In order to completely annihilate the defense force of Nanchen on the front line along the river, it will create favorable conditions for the army to occupy the entire territory of Nanchen.

After passing the order downstream, Yang Guang led 10,000 soldiers and horses, and with the attitude of a victor, specially bypassed the Vermilion Bird Gate and entered Jiankang City, to meet Gao Ying, He Ruobi, Han Baohu and others.
