To assist Lu Zhi, he led thousands of horses out of Handan and went down to Quyang. The troops under his command, Wuhuan Colonel Zongyuan, Julu Prefect Guo Dian, Changshan Prime Minister Feng Xin, Zhongshan Prefect Zhang Chun and others, when they heard that Taizu had arrived, all marshaled their troops solemnly, knowing that
The battle was about to begin. For three days, Taizu's army gathered 70,000 men and forcibly crossed the Hutuo River to capture Quyang. At that time, Zhang Bao's army of 100,000 people lined up with their backs to the city and the river. They wanted to attack halfway across the river, but Bao Zi took control of the mountain to wait and see. Taizu ordered
Gongsun Yue led his ten thousand cavalry to cross the river in a detour, and ordered Dian and Chun to rush across and set up fortresses on both sides to lure the thieves to attack. Zhang He led hundreds of Euphorbia soldiers to cross first, and then led his white horse followers to follow closely, and stormed Baoben's formation. The thieves swarmed.
When they came to attack, Taizu ignored them and moved three honor guards forward. When the Han army saw it, they all fought hard and risked their lives. They died in the formation. He's tribe was completely dead and wounded. He went to the treasure formation alone and killed his deputy commander with a spear.
Bao was frightened and fled, and the bandit army collapsed. Yue attacked from behind, overtaking more than 80,000 bandits, and less than 20,000 escaped. Dong Zhao, Xi Zhong, Feng Xin and others watched the battle from across the river and were fascinated by it. Taizu then moved forward to besiege the city.
Bao Bao was unable to do anything, so he built a fortification and did not attack. He also made the army enjoy Cuju, and also prepared the camp, eliminated the weak and selected the best, and selected the brave soldiers in the army to serve as white horses. After more than a month, the bandits were in civil strife, and Bao burned himself.

In the past, Dong Zhuo, the commander-in-chief of Hebei Province, besieged Zhang Jiao at Guangzong, but failed to defeat him for a long time. In order to delay the war machine's entry into Luo, he ordered Huangfu Song to take his place. When Song arrived, Jiao died of illness, and Guangzong was shaken. Song took the opportunity to send troops and defeated Jiao's younger brother Liang Tai.
After Zu conquered Quyang, he joined forces with Song to besiege Guangzong. Liang became more frightened, so he concealed his troops at night and rushed to Juluze. Taizu and Song Li sent troops to break the city with infantry and cavalry to cut off the beam.
At the Zhanghe River, when the battle reached the end of the day, everyone was defeated. The beams were chopped off, the coffins were cut open, and the corpses were slaughtered and passed on to the capital. Guangzong accumulated 30,000 soldiers, and about 50,000 people died in the river. The world was at peace. Worship Taizu Guang.
