When Chang Gui, who had been missing for a long time, led a group of Yueyang City Guardians who had been replaced by Situ Biao to appear in important areas such as Yueyang City Head, the County Guardians, and the City Guardians, the security division, which was originally under the jurisdiction of Yueyang City Guardians, quickly stopped resisting after seeing their old superiors. They had no confidence to resist at all. They did not know where the Western Frontier Army came from and how many of them had come. With the County Guardians and Yuancheng Guardians, their surrender was a natural thing to be happy.

Perhaps Situ Biao would regret why he didn't make up his mind to imprison Chang Gui. At least he should force the other party to resign as his brother did to Liao Qichang. In this way, at least he could avoid Chang Gui lobbying everywhere as an official identity. Moreover, in the battle of Yueyang, he even publicly called on the people of Wuhu to support Li Wufeng and overthrow his rule. With Chang Gui's decades of foundation in Wuhu County, his official identity as the county magistrate of Wuhu County, the impact of this can be imagined, and these are all later stories.

The golden peng flag floating in Yueyang Prefecture City marked that the largest and most important capital city of Wuhu County finally fell into the hands of Xijiang. The Western Xinjiang army that controlled Yueyang had actually taken the initiative in the entire Five Lakes situation, and formed a situation that echoed the Cheng Dayou army, who was still persisting in Jiujiang, exacerbating the chaos in the entire Five Lakes situation. The only thing that made the Battle of Yueyang a little regretful was probably that the Dongting Lake naval army stationed at the Lingji Wharf of Yueyang fled to the Dongting Lake area when Yueyang fell, and occupied the islands in Dongting Lake to continue to fight stubbornly, but this had already had a substantial impact on the battle situation of Wuhu.

Just when Yueyang announced its fall, something even more desperate happened to Situ Biao, who had already broken his heart. The First Division of the Fifth Army stationed in Huanggang and an independent division jointly rebelled, announced their acceptance of the leadership of Western Xinjiang and welcomed the Fourth Fifth Division of the First Army of Western Xinjiang, which was descending from Jincheng, to enter Huanggang. The sudden upheaval almost made everyone understand why the First Division of the Fifth Army, which had always been regarded as a confidant by His Highness Xiang, suddenly launched a rebellion. This drastic change made Huanggang, who was originally as a solid person, suddenly headed towards the gate of Western Xinjiang, and was ready to go.

The river quickly moved eastward. The originally located in Huanggang Fucheng was completely in chaos because the troops stationed in the city were stationed by changes. The army led by the 1st Division of the Fifth Army and the 5th Independent Division firmly controlled the west gate of Huanggang Fucheng. The two divisions of the First Legion of the Western Xinjiang took this opportunity to rush in. The Fifth Legion, which had been panicked by this sudden rebellion, suddenly collapsed. With Qiu Zicheng's admonition, the remaining three divisions of the Fifth Legion were stationed in Huanggang, except for the Fourth Division who refused to accept the revenge and retreated eastward, the other two divisions announced their surrender and accepted the leadership of His Highness the King of Qin.

At the same time, Cheng Dayou in Jiujiang officially announced to the outside world that in view of the empire's failure to respond to the open force invasion of Situ Biao of Xiang, Jiujiang and Huzhou would be under the jurisdiction of the Great Protectorate of the Western Xinjiang, and the army would also accept the reorganization of the Western Xinjiang. Li Wufeng in Hanzhong Prefecture also issued a notice announcing Cheng Dayou as the commander of the Eighth Corps of the Western Xinjiang, and the subordinate departments were reorganized into the Eighth Corps of the Western Xinjiang, and officially issued a public order to the troops and prefectures and counties under Situ Biao in Wuhu District, requiring the army to lay down their weapons and accept the reorganization. The officials continued to maintain the status quo and manage Chang Gui, the current county magistrate of Wuhu County, and waited for the arrival of the officials of the Western Xinjiang Protectorate to cooperate with the Western Xinjiang officials to do a good job in the later post-care work.

This series of actions like a storm is dazzling. Cheng Dayou's sudden surrender to Western Xinjiang seemed to be expected. At that time, the Qin Palace issued an opinion on opposing the change of any current situation within the empire by force. However, many people at that time regarded Li Wufeng's declaration as a verbal warning without attracting enough attention. Unexpectedly, after such a silence, Western Xinjiang would use such a blow to completely destroy its dominance to fight back and forth with Situ Biao who dared to despise Western Xinjiang. The surprise attacked Wushan, Yueyang concluded by lightning, and Huanggang suddenly changed. All this seemed to be the huge change like acting on the stage.

It happened around him, from the imperial capital to Jiangnan, from Yanyun to the East China Sea, almost everyone could not believe that Situ Biao, who had once made the mission of unifying the five lakes, was defeated in just a few days. The fall of Huanggang and Yueyang was equivalent to handing over half of the five lakes to the hands of Xijiang. Relying on Guanxi behind him, coupled with Jiujiang who had surrendered to the Western Xinjiang, the First Legion, known as the First Army of Xijiang, and the Cheng Dayou team, who had been awarded the Eighth Legion of the Western Xinjiang, can unscrupulously join forces to attack the Sixth Legion and the Division of the Two Eleventh Legion. The situation is so fast that it is dazzling.

The lost Hu Tingzhi was taken to Qu Bo and Shan Yao without any elegance and dashingness as before. His blue and white face represented his frustrated mood at this moment. The wrinkled Tang shirt showed that the night was obviously spent by His Royal Highness Xiang's think tank. His slightly swollen eyes and a face that seemed to have aged a few years proved that this wise man who once pointed out the country and waved his courage and ruthlessness still did not recover from this unexpected hit. However, in front of the enemy general, Hu Tingzhi still maintained his due self-esteem. His neither humble nor arrogant attitude and his calm manner made Qu Bo and Shan Yao admit that this guy's calmness in his mind was indeed better than many soldiers who had always shown courage on the battlefield.

"Come, come, come, Mr. Hu, please sit down. I didn't expect to meet Mr. Hu in this situation. We have been the name of Mr. Hu for a long time." Qu Bo and Shan Yao's attitude towards the visitor was obviously not as contemptuous as other surrendered generals. The expression on their faces showed that they should be quite sincere to the person in front of them.

Perhaps infected by the sincere expressions on the other two faces, Hu Tingzhi found that the arrogant and unyielding look he tried his best to maintain seemed a bit pretentious. He was defeated and he had done his best. Although he tried his best to oppose His Highness Xiang's transfer of the independent division to Baling, he said in a realistic manner that he did not expect that Xijiang would send out a surprise troops from Wushan. It should be said that this battle was not unfair. It is considered an insurmountable natural danger that Western Xinjiang could cross over. It is easy to say that it has been planned and prepared for it. He did not expect this to be a dereliction of duty. As for whether to draw the division or not, he believed that even if he kept this division, it could only be said to delay the fall of the Five Lakes. For the overall situation, since Xijiang dared to send troops, it means that they already had the confidence and determination to win the Five Lakes.

A long sigh, put away the unruly look on his face, replaced by a look of confusion and loss. This is the true portrayal of Hu Tingzhi's heart. The seemingly powerful Five Lakes giant collapsed in just a few days. The overall situation of Five Lakes has been settled. Hu Tingzhi knew that Yueyang had completely fallen, and the attack in Xijiang would never be just this move. This is the conclusion that Hu Tingzhi came to after carefully studying Li Wufeng's strategic and tactical arrangements over the years. He found that the other party had a very obvious characteristic, that is, to plan and move.

The enemy must be killed. Unless he has other intentions, it will be difficult for the enemy to have a chance to turn around under his design. From Li Wufeng's beginning to occupy Qingyang to suppress the bandits, to seizing Northern Luzon, regaining the Western Regions, fighting against Tengri repeatedly, fighting against Yinde'an, and suppressing the Taiping Army, almost no battle was not carefully planned, and the enemy almost surrendered to his feet without exception. This time, since Li Wufeng dared to march into the Five Lakes, it was obvious that he wanted to seize the Situ family's world, and the existence of Situ Biao's rule had no value to him, so he would not leave any opportunity for the other party.

After collecting his sadness and loneliness, Hu Tingzhi stood up and bowed, and said lightly: "A person who defeated the army was a prisoner. His fame in the past was nothing but a false reputation, and it was not worth the attention of the two generals. Tingzhi could probably guess the meaning of the two generals, but Tingzhi is now calm and has no intention of anything else. Please forgive me."

"Where is Mr. Hu? The two countries have their own military commanders. Moreover, we are all from Tanghe. Who wins and who loses is just a different creation. Brother Zong Xi and Lord He Jing have both mentioned the talents of the great masters. Good birds choose trees to live on. Mr. Hu's revenge fell into the hands of mediocre people like Situ Biao. I believe that Western Xinjiang is the great stage for Mr. Hu to display his talents. At this best opportunity for our Tanghe nation to rise on the mainland. Is Mr. Hu willing to be lonely and desolate, but he is unwilling to help His Highness the King of Qin achieve great achievements and allow himself to leave a mark in history books?"
