Chapter six hundred and ninetieth life and death contest four

In the next military strategy, Wang Kui and Su Chi quarreled.

The current situation is that Huang Sui, the governor of Yunzhou, led 15,000 troops and advanced to Qiyang City with the remaining power of the victory. Yun Ji, the governor of Puzhou, also led nearly 20,000 troops, stationed ten miles south of Qiyang City. What's more serious is that although the 20,000 troops of Chuzhou, Wang Huaili, the governor of Chuzhou, entered Huzhou. Although the troops were still in control, Huzhou's geographical location was important and it was the only way to enter and exit Henan and Huainan. Wang Huailii occupied Huzhou, which was equivalent to cutting off the last retreat of the rebels.

Wang Kui was brave but not scheming. His previous victory made him extremely arrogant, arrogant and despised the court. In his opinion, he retreated from Luojing to Qiyang City as an voluntary retreat, not a defeat. He still had more than 60,000 troops in his hands, with enough weapons and abundant food and supplies. The total strength of the official army was less than 50,000, and his troops were weaker than him. He had the power to fight. Therefore, Wang Kui resolutely defended Qiyang City despite everyone's opposition and was ready to decide the victory and defeat with the official army here.

Su Chi disdained Wang Kui's decision and plans. In his opinion, the generals who led the army to quell the rebellion this time, Huang Su and Wang Huailei, were both famous generals who were in charge of the four directions. Although Yun Ji, the governor of Puzhou, was from a civil servant, and was not as famous as Huang Su and Wang Huailei, they had long held local military power and should not be underestimated.

Moreover, regardless of the comparison of the forces of the two sides or the combat effectiveness of the soldiers, Wang Kui's military strength does have the upper hand in the current local battle situation, but this is only temporary. The army of rioters has no base and is entangled in several small cities such as Qiyang City, and has no way to flee. Moreover, the local army of various states is still rushing to Henan. Once time is delayed for a long time, the army of rioters has no way out.

Su Chi suggested that Wang Kui should not fight, immediately abandon the city and flee eastward, pass Qinshan into Laizhou, and then take a boat to sea from Dengzhou. Whether it is going to Goryeo or to the northeast Uro, there is also a rioter in Dengzhou. Although it is not strong, most of them are local fishermen, with a large number of fishing boats in their hands. As long as they can escape to Dengzhou and go to sea by boat, the government army will be in a strong position.

Su Chi's advice is very good. He jumped out of the encirclement of the government army and walked away from the border. As long as the troops in his hands remained unshakable, he would have a chance to make a comeback.

Unfortunately, Wang Kui was stubborn and did not listen to good words. He insisted on defending Qiyang City to the death of the government army here. He thought simply that as long as he defeated the government army here, the overall situation in the world would definitely change. His idea was good, but if he wanted to succeed, there was almost no possibility.

The two armies of Huang Su and Yun Ji quickly joined forces and immediately launched a fierce attack on Qiyang City. The two sides fought fiercely until the evening, and they would rest for a while and fight again in the future.

Late at night, Wang Kui opened the city gate and led 30,000 troops to raid at night, intending to defeat the official army outside the city in one fell swoop. This move is surprising and the idea is indeed good. Unfortunately, he faced Huang Sui and Yun Ji. Both of them were not ordinary people. Huang Sui was strong in the army and was known for his bravery. Yun Ji was rigorous in the army and was known for his rigorous in the army and steady. After the two retreated to the camp, they did not relax their vigilance and remained tight in defense. Obviously, they were guarding against Wang Kui for such a move, and hoped that he would come. Sure enough, when he came to attack whatever he wanted, Wang Kui came to attack at night and attacked Yun Ji's camp. He fought for nearly half an hour without any progress. At this time, Huang Sui's entire army was dispatched and killed from the side. Yun Ji also took the opportunity to open the camp gate and lead the army to fight. Wang Kui did not last long and was defeated. The 30,000 troops were damaged, and less than 10,000 people retreated to Qiyang City.

After that, Wang Kui did not dare to fight and defended the city to the death.

The war in Henan lasted for five days, but it didn't take so long. That night, the night attack, the rebels were defeated, and the morale of the entire army was almost collapsed. The next morning, Huang Su organized a large army to launch a fierce attack, almost capturing Qiyang City, and quickly ended the war. At this moment, news came from Huzhou that a small county town near Huzhou occupied by the rebels. The governor of Chuzhou, Wang Huailei, captured this city, but refused to allow the rebels to surrender. He killed all the thousands of surrendered soldiers and burned and killed the soldiers. Most of the tens of thousands of people in the city were killed and injured.

When Wang Kui received the news, he immediately spread the news throughout the city and spread rumors that the court had issued an order not to accept surrender and kill him. As soon as this news came out, the soldiers of the entire army were frightened. The morale that had collapsed to the extreme was, but under the instinct of survival, they began to give it a try and decided to fight the official army to the death and never stop.

The people in the city were very disgusted and disgusted at first by Wang Kui and others. After receiving the news that Wang Huailio massacred the city, they were also afraid that after the official army broke through the city, they would start a massacre of Qiyang City. Therefore, some people began to take the initiative to help Wang Kui's army.

As a result, the whole city was united and defended desperately. Huang Sui and Yun Ji attacked fiercely for five days, but it became increasingly difficult to fight, and the war was in a stalemate.

Fengjing.

An eunuch led the way in front, and followed Lu Bojiang behind him.

Lu Bojiang frowned, his face was gloomy, and his mood was obviously very bad.

The atmosphere in the palace has seemed a bit strange recently. There are many more Royal Guard soldiers on duty and patrol than usual and are much more rigorous. This sudden change has made Lu Bojiang guess. Is something wrong in the palace? This situation started three days ago. Lu Bojiang also asked Zhao Xun about this, but the latter found a reason and did not say much about it.

The reason why Lu Bojiang hurried into the palace today and took the initiative to pay homage to Zhao Xun was because, just two hours ago, Zhao Xun issued an order document, which was not internally but externally, with the target pointing to Henan. The content of the order, which recruited the rebels of the rioters, was only to pursue the serious crimes of the chief evil Wang Kui. The rest of the people, as long as they gave up resistance and took the initiative to put down their weapons, the court would open the door and pardon everyone's sins.

Lu Bojiang was extremely surprised to get this news. In his opinion, the overall situation in Henan was decided. Although Qiyang City had not been compromised for the time being, the rebels had been surrounded and could not last long. The war ended, at most three or five days. However, at this time, Zhao Xun suddenly issued an order to open the net, which really puzzled Lu Bojiang, so he hurried into the palace just to ask for a clear answer.

When he arrived at the gate of the Prince's East Palace, the eunuch stopped and bowed to Lu Baijiang and said, "Mr. Lu, the villain is waiting for you here."

"It's been a labor."

Lu Bojiang nodded and walked into the gate of the East Palace.
