When Huang Baichuan learned that Zheng Ze and Liu Xiang led 15,000 soldiers from their headquarters to Xiangzhou without even saying hello, he was completely angry, roared and hung heavily on the table: "Two men."

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

Huang Baichuan said unwillingly: "We still have 30,000 troops. We will enter Hongzhou through Shangou Pass. It's not that there is no chance. As long as we defeat Huang Su, the situation of the battle will come back to our hands."

“We have no chance”

Huang Zhiwen said affirmatively: "Baichuan, you should look at it from the overall situation, not just paying attention to Huang Su's side."

Huang Baichuan looked at Huang Zhiwen in confusion. He trusted Huang Zhiwen's talent and character very much. 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 Suo was tricked, and the group of assassins deceived him again, which led to his being deceived and even defeated him.

Huang Zhiwen sighed: "With our current military strength, we do have the ability to fight Huang Suo for another battle, but have you ever thought about it? Yingzhou City is now in the hands of the other party, and Huang Suo can completely divide his troops to attack Ezhou. Even if Yang Liecheng let go, he did not take into account his foundation and took down Liangcheng with all his strength, but the main force of Huang Suo and others still existed and did not lose anything, and..."

Speaking of this, Huang Zhiwen walked to the table and took out a map to spread it out. It turned out to be the whole picture of the map between Jiangnan and Huainan.

"At the beginning, the situation of the battle here was not clear, and the major military governors were still waiting for the fisherman's benefits, but what about now? Huang Qi seized Yingzhou City and defeated our army, and his morale was greatly boosted, and the situation had begun to become clear."

Huang Zhiwen stroked the map to analyze the situation, pointed his fingers at Chuzhou, and continued, "When the Chuzhou governor Wang Huailei just started fighting, he had already written to the court, expressing his willingness to send troops to help and gather 20,000 troops to Chuzhou. It seems very active, but the actual situation is that the march is slow. After three days of travel, after more than ten days, he has not entered Xiangzhou yet. Wang Huailei is actually watching the changes in the situation here. If Huang Sue is defeated, he will march into Xiangzhou to stabilize the situation and wait for the next action of the court. If Huang Sue defeats, he will also march into Xiangzhou, trap Zheng Ze and others in the city, wipe out them, and seek rewards for the court with merits."

After listening to Huang Zhiwen's analysis, Huang Baichuan nodded repeatedly. He understood in his heart that Huang Zhiwen had said so much, but it was actually just a truth. The initiative in the war situation in Jiangnan is now in Huang Qiu's hands. The major military governors in the world have made a judgment, that is, to send troops to help the court encircle him and others. Even if he now leads his troops through Shanyang Goat Pass and joins forces with Yang Liecheng to capture Liangcheng, as long as Huang Qi cannot be destroyed in a short period of time, the final result will not be changed. That is, the major military governors will lead the troops to form a siege and besiege him and Yang Liecheng with absolute superior forces.

Huang Baichuan sighed to the sky: "Zheng Ze and Liu Xiang must have seen this, so they left without saying goodbye, preserved their strength, retreated to Xiangzhou, and defended the city in order to ask the court to let them go."

Huang Zhiwen sneered: "Zheng Ze and Liu Xiang have a good idea, but unfortunately the final result will only make them feel desperate."

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

Zheng Ze still had 15,000 soldiers in his hands. Xiangzhou city was high and thick. If he tried his best to defend himself, the major military governors would have always cherished the soldiers in their headquarters and would probably not attack the city. In the end, the court was afraid that the loss of too many troops was caused by the Xiangzhou city, and there was a great possibility that he would still reach a compromise with him.

Huang Zhiwen said in a deep voice: "Jiangnan has always been valued by the current emperor Zhao Zhi and regarded it as the foundation of the court. However, the existence of Yang Liecheng, Zheng Ze, Liu Xiang and others has always been a threat. For so many years, I have been looking for opportunities to get rid of them and then quickly. Now, the great opportunity is in front of me, and all the future troubles can be eliminated once and for all, so that the land of Jiangnan is completely calm. How could Zhao Zhi give up such a good opportunity?"

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

Huang Zhiwen looked around and saw that there were no outsiders, so he approached Huang Baichuan's ear and said softly: "Zheng Ze and others will surely die, but we still have a chance."

“Where is the opportunity?”

Huang Zhiwen sneered coldly: "We can lead the army to catch up with Zheng Ze, join forces with them in an open position, retreat to Xiangzhou, kill Zheng Ze and Liu Xiang secretly, take their heads and accus the court of guilt, and retreat back to Caizhou at the same time. You are in Fengjing as your legitimate son, and we may be able to survive."

Huang Baichuan frowned and said, "We were born in the White Turban Army and have always been jealous of Zhao Zhi. Now it is a great opportunity to solve our problems. How could he give up?"

Huang Zhiwen sneered and said, "Everything has two sides. It is precisely because we are not well-known, and are despised by the gentry. Instead, we will not become a major concern for the court. Wang Huailio has been in Chuzhou for more than eight years and his troops are becoming stronger and stronger. In recent years, he has no longer obedient to the imperial edicts of the court. Zhao Zhi must have been guarded against him. Caizhou is close to Chuzhou, and our existence is also a restraint for Wang Huailio. If Zhao Zhi can think clearly about this, he will never simply eliminate us and clear obstacles for Wang Huailio."

Huang Baichuan narrowed his eyes, thought about it in his heart, and finally nodded, and said coldly: "Since Zheng Ze, Liu Xiang and the others are unrighteous and abandon me, then don't blame me for being ruthless."

......

Huang Zhiwen's guess was not wrong at all. After learning that Huang Xian captured Yingzhou City and defeated Huang Baichuan, the governor of Chuzhou immediately ordered the army to accelerate its sneaking and advance to Xiangzhou.

Wei Wennan, the governor of Qianzhou, and Lu Siyao, the governor of Chenzhou, led the army to move quickly, and passed through Tanzhou to attack Yuezhou, occupying Yang Liecheng's nest. The situation in Jiangnan completely turned to Huang Xiang's side.

Huang Qian and Zhao Baian led 25,000 troops, defended without fighting, blocked the road from Hongzhou to Yuezhou, trapped Yang Liecheng in Hongzhou and could not return to Yuezhou. The result of his defeat was a foregone conclusion.

Although Yang Liecheng was in charge of the governor of E and Yue prefectures, all his money, grain and foundation were in Yuezhou. Now the road to Yuezhou has been blocked, and he has only one way to go, that is, retreat to Ezhou. However, most of the soldiers and generals under him are in Yuezhou. Once Yuezhou is broken, they still have the intention to continue fighting with the court?
