In 588 AD, Emperor Wendi decided to destroy the Southern Chen Dynasty and realize the great cause of reunifying the whole country. Emperor Wendi of Sui Dynasty took up 500,000 troops to attack Chen, and attacked Chen in eight routes from the upper reaches to the lower reaches of the Yangtze River. He Ruobi was the chief marching officer and led his troops out of Guangling, concentrated on the north bank of the Yangtze River. At present, Chen is a bohemian and arrogant person, and he has no sense of crisis of national subjugation and extinction. He thinks this is another kind of liberation for Sui Jun, and he relies on the natural barrier of the Yangtze River. Instead of following the generals' advice, he actively prepared for the upcoming Yuan Dynasty celebration at the end of this year. In the face of eyeing up, Chen's originally weak fortifications are even weaker. Soon, the army of Sui Dynasty suppressed the border of Chen Dynasty. As a strategic location, the situation of Jingkou and Quarry is very critical. However, Chen Houzhu, who is absurd, listened to rumors and thought that the transfer of warships from Beijing at this time not only affected the ostentation and extravagance of the Yuan Dynasty celebrations, but also made the country timid. Moreover, with the natural barrier of the Yangtze River, it is impossible for Sui Jun to fly there, so it did not send reinforcements to Jingkou and quarrying in time. At this time, the general stationed on the north bank of the Yangtze River opposite Jingkou was the marching general He Rebi, who defeated Chen with a trick of "crossing the sea".

On the first day of the first month in 588 AD, He Rebi, who had done her homework in the early stage, suddenly crossed the river in dispatch troops to attack Jingkou. And Chen, because of He Ruobi's plan of "crossing the sea", didn't even notice it himself, and he regretted it until the army was besieged. He Rebi led the troops to attack Jingkou and captured the military town in one fell swoop. Quarrying was also occupied by another general in Sui Jun, Han Qinhu, who attacked Jiankang and captured Chen Houzhu alive. Since then, the Chen Dynasty has perished.
