When he learned that Zheng Ze and Liu Xiang led their 15,000 soldiers to retreat to Xiangzhou without even saying hello, Huang Baichuan became completely angry. He roared, stretched out his fist and dropped it heavily on the table: "Two ordinary man."

Huang Zhiwen said from the side: "Zheng Ze and Liu Xiang retreated to Xiangzhou, and Yang Liecheng fought alone. It is difficult to succeed. Defeat will be a matter of time. We should make plans early."

Huang Baichuan said unwillingly: "We still have 30,000 troops entering Hongzhou through Yangguan Pass. It's not without a chance. As long as we defeat Huang Zhen, the battle will be back in our hands."

"We have no chance"

Huang Zhiwen said firmly: "Baichuan, you should look at the overall situation, not just pay attention to Huang Chong's side."

Huang Baichuan looked at Huang Zhiwen doubtfully. He had great trust in Huang Zhiwen's talents and conduct. Of course, he had just experienced a big defeat a few days ago, but Huang Baichuan did not think it was Huang Zhiwen's fault. After all... Huang Zhiwen Following the plan, the assassins told lies to deceive themselves, which led to their being deceived and ultimately defeated.

Huang Zhiwen sighed: "With our current military strength, we are indeed capable of fighting Huang Zhu again, but Baichuan, have you ever thought about it, Yingzhou City is now in the hands of the opponent, and Huang Xi can definitely divide his troops to attack Ezhou, even if Yang Liecheng Give it a try, ignore your own foundation, and go all out to capture Liangcheng, but the main force of Huang Zhen and others is still there, and nothing has been lost, and..."

Having said this, Huang Zhiwen walked to the table, took out a map and spread it out. It turned out to be a complete map of Jiangnan and Huainan.

"At the beginning, the situation of the war here was unclear, and the major military governors were still waiting for their advantage, but now? Huang Shen captured Yingzhou City, defeated our army, and boosted morale. The situation has begun. Clarity.”

Huang Zhiwen analyzed the situation while stroking the map, pointed at Chuzhou, and continued: "When the war just started on our side, Wang Huailie, the military governor of Chuzhou, had already written to the court, expressing his willingness to send troops to help and gather troops. Twenty thousand troops left Chuzhou, which seemed very positive. However, the actual situation was that the advance was slow. After more than ten days of walking for three days, we have not yet entered Xiangzhou. Wang Huailie was actually waiting to see the changes in the situation here. Huang Jiuruo If Huang is defeated, he will march to Xiangzhou, stabilize the situation, and wait for the court's next move. If Huang Chu wins, he will also march to Xiangzhou, trap Zheng Ze and others in the city, and exterminate them, hoping to reward the court for their merits."

After listening to Huang Zhiwen's analysis, Huang Baichuan nodded repeatedly. He already understood in his heart that what Huang Zhiwen said was actually the same truth. The initiative in the battle in Jiangnan was now in the hands of Huang Zhi, and all the major military governors in the world had already Judgment, that is to send troops to help the imperial court encircle and suppress himself and others. Even if he now leads the army into Hongzhou through Yangguan Pass, join forces with Yang Liecheng, and capture Liangcheng, as long as Huang Sheng cannot be destroyed in a short time, his final The result will still not change, that is, the leading armies of the major military governors will come to form an encirclement, and they will besiege themselves and Yang Liecheng with their absolute superior strength.

Huang Baichuan looked up to the sky and sighed: "Zheng Ze and Liu Xiang must have seen this, so they left without saying goodbye, conserved their strength, retreated to Xiangzhou, and defended the city, hoping that the imperial court would let them go."

Huang Zhiwen sneered and said: "Zheng Ze and Liu Xiang have good ideas, but unfortunately the final result will only make them despair."

Huang Baichuan asked in confusion: "How do you say this?"

Zheng Ze still has 15,000 soldiers in his hands. The city of Xiangzhou has high walls and thick walls. If he defends it with all his strength, the major governors always cherish their own soldiers and may not attack the city with all their strength. In the end, the imperial court is afraid that because of a Xiangzhou city

, and if too many soldiers and horses are lost, there is a high possibility that a compromise will be reached in the end.

Huang Zhiwen said in a deep voice: "Jiangnan has always been valued by the current emperor Zhao Zhi and regarded as the foundation of the imperial court. However, the existence of Yang Liecheng, Zheng Ze, Liu Xiang and others has always been a threat. For so many years, they have been looking for opportunities.

Get rid of it quickly, now there is a great opportunity before you, you can get rid of all the troubles once and for all, and make the land of Jiangnan completely peaceful, how could Zhao Zhi give up such a good opportunity?"

Huang Baichuan nodded, feeling that what Huang Zhiwen said was very reasonable. At the same time, he thought of his current situation and said worriedly: "In such a dangerous situation, where should we go?"

Huang Zhiwen looked around and saw no one else, so he leaned close to Huang Baichuan's ear and whispered: "Zheng Ze and others will undoubtedly die, but we still have a chance."

"What's the opportunity?"

Huang Zhiwen sneered and said: "We can lead the army to catch up with Zheng Ze, join forces with them secretly, retreat to Xiangzhou, kill Zheng Ze and Liu Xiang secretly, use their heads to plead guilty to the court, and at the same time retreat to Cai.

Zhouzhou, if you use your legitimate son as a hostage in Fengjing, we may be able to survive."

Huang Baichuan frowned and said: "We are from the White Turban Army and have always been tabooed by Zhao Zhi. Now is a great opportunity to deal with us. How can he give up?"

Huang Zhiwen sneered and said: "Everything has two sides. It is precisely because we have a bad background, a bad reputation, and are despised by the nobles that we will not become a serious problem for the court. Wang Huailie has been in Chuzhou for more than eight years, and his military strength is getting stronger.

, In recent years, he has no longer been so obedient to the imperial edicts. Zhao Zhi must have taken precautions against him. Caizhou is close to Chuzhou, and our presence is also a check on Wang Huailie. If Zhao Zhi can think clearly about this

A little, and they will never simply eliminate us and remove obstacles for Wang Huailie."

Huang Baichuan squinted his eyes, made some calculations in his mind, and finally nodded, saying coldly: "Since Zheng Ze and Liu Xiang are unjust and abandoned me, don't blame me for being cruel."

...

Huang Zhiwen's guess was not wrong at all. After learning that Huang Sheng had captured Yingzhou City and defeated Huang Baichuan, Chuzhou Jiedushi Wang Huailie immediately ordered the army to speed up and sneak into Xiangzhou.

Wei Wennan, the governor of Guizhou Province, and Lv Siyao, the governor of Chenzhou Province, who had been holding back their troops, both led their troops in a hurry, passing through Tanzhou and heading towards Yuezhou, seizing Yang Liecheng's lair. The situation in Jiangnan completely shifted to Huang Shen's side.

Huang Zhen and Zhao Bo'an led an army of 25,000 men and defended without fighting. They blocked the road from Hongzhou to Yuezhou, trapping Yang Liecheng in Hongzhou and unable to return to Yuezhou. His defeat was a foregone conclusion.

.

Although Yang Liecheng led the governors of E and Yuezhou, all his money, food and foundation were in Yuezhou. Now that the road to Yuezhou was blocked, he had only one way to go, which was to retreat to Ezhou, but he had a large number of men.
