"Lu Feng is really a waste. He is afraid of wolves in front and tigers in the back. He doesn't even dare to leave a city."

Cheng Xisi cursed a few words in a low voice.

After learning that Huang Suo would come to attack, Cheng Xisi immediately made complete preparations and planned to wipe out Huang Suo and his troops in the headquarters. However, he was cautious. In addition, he sent someone to Jinyang to inform Lu Feng and asked him to send someone to ambush the rear. If he met Huang Suo's army and retreated, he could ambush and kill him.

If Huang Sue did not follow the ambush route, then after Huang Sue arrived in Jinyang, he would trick all his troops into the city. At midnight, he secretly opened the city gate and led his army into the city. The two of them worked together to kill Huang Sue, making it difficult for him to escape.

How did Lufeng do it?

He neither led the army out of the city to ambush behind, nor let Huang Qiu's army enter the city. He valued Jinyang too much, cherished himself and tried to make small profits, and did not have any courage. He was even more clever and wanted to deceive Huang Qiu into the city and then kill him. There is a saying that something is good, there will be evil when something abnormal happens. Lu Feng's actions and abnormalities immediately aroused Huang Qiu's vigilance and suspicion, and eventually pushed the originally simple matter to complexity.

Cheng Xisi is sure now that the person who came to inform the news was probably not sent by Lu Feng. Huang Su's actions were probably a temporary intention and then acted decisively, without notifying Lu Feng at all.

"Master, Lu Feng sent someone out and invited us into the city."

A general came over and reported loudly.

Cheng Xisi pondered for a moment, then said, "You lead five thousand soldiers into the city first."

"Yes, Grandmaster."

The general bowed his order and was about to leave, Cheng Xisi grabbed his arm and whispered: "After entering the city, pay close attention to Lu Feng's every move. The place where your army is stationed must be close to the city gate and not be merciless at the mercy of others."

Lu Feng did not listen to Cheng Xisi's advice and remained silent. This was not only a manifestation of his distrust of Jinyang City, but also a manifestation of his distrust of Cheng Xisi. On the contrary, Cheng Xisi also distrusts Lu Feng. To put it bluntly, the two of them were united only because of interests, and there was no connection besides this.

"Understood."

The general nodded, expressed his understanding, and turned around and left.

Another general whispered: "Master, Jinyang City is now within your reach, so why not put Lu Feng..."

He stretched out his hand and secretly made a killing move.

Cheng Xisi pondered without saying a word. After a moment, he shook his head and said, "We have just started a crime and are very popular. We have killed allies without reason. Others who want to vote for me will definitely feel suspicious and scruples, which will be detrimental to me."

Seeing that Cheng Xisi said this, there was something wrong with the general, so he stopped talking.

Cheng Xisi looked at Huang Qiu's garrison in the distance, squinted his eyes and pondered for a moment, and then issued an order: "Immediately assemble the army, surround Huang Qiu, send someone to collect hay, first attack with fire, shake the morale of the other party."

Cheng Xisi had made up his mind to launch a strong attack tonight, striving to solve the problem of Huang Su before dawn, and then with Jinyang as the center, he called on all parts of Hedong to raise troops and carry out major events.

Hedong is the foundation of the wing king Zhao He. He has been managed by him for many years. The forces here are disconnected from the court. Cheng Xisi believes that as long as he takes over Jinyang and issues a call, he will definitely get a response from the group. At that time, many forces gather in Jinyang and his strength will be greatly improved. In this way, there will be strength and space to confront the court.

Cheng Xisi raised an army to rebel in the name of Qing dynasty. His main purpose was not to overthrow the current emperor. The wing king Zhao He was already dead and Zhao Xun became the emperor. This was already an established fact, and it could not be changed by one or two wills.

Cheng Xisi's real purpose was to occupy Jinyang, force the court to compromise, and let himself seize Hedong.

Cheng Xisi thought the overall situation was firmly in his hands, and the whole situation was moving towards his own planning, and it was not far from success.

But what Cheng Xisi didn't know was that there was a good word, the mantis stalked the cicada and the oriole behind it.

Just as Cheng Xisi was singing triumphantly and winning streaks, his lair, the rear of Yizhou, had been broken.

Wang Huailio still kept his troops, while Caizhou Jiedushi Huang Baichuan, when Cheng Xisi captured Qizhou and the army headed to Jinyang, suddenly sent troops to attack Yizhou in one fell swoop.

The 20,000 troops left by Cheng Xisi in Yizhou were not the main force, and he took them away.

Most of the 20,000 troops left in Yizhou were refugees and bandits who surrendered, and their combat effectiveness was not strong.

Of course, it is not that Cheng Xisi does not attach importance to Yizhou. This is his old nest that he has been running for many years. How could he not pay attention to it? It’s just that Cheng Xisi has calculated accurately. Wang Huailii and Huang Baichuan will never send troops until the situation is beneficial to the court, because if the court fails in this war, the pressure and control of the local military governors will be greatly reduced. As the military governor who is in charge of the troops, who would not want to take away the hat that was pressed on his head?

In fact, before Cheng Xisi led the main force north, he sent people to find Wang Huaili and Huang Baichuan to test their attitudes. Of course, he did not receive any response, but one thing is that the people he sent returned safely, and although Wang Huaili and Huang Baichuan did not agree, they did not refuse. This is actually a statement.

There is another threat, that is, Zhao Baian. Zhao Baian is now in Jiangnan. Although he does not have a formal position, he has been in Jiangnan for many years and has a high prestige. His old subordinates are spread all over the south of Jiangnan. He can quickly assemble a powerful army in a short period of time. However, one thing is that the current situation in the Lingnan region is also very unstable. The task and focus given by the court to Zhao Baian is the Lingnan region.

The rebellion launched by Cheng Xisi did not actually attract enough attention from the court. Zhao Xun felt that with the existing troops in Hedong and the 30,000 imperial guards, it was enough to solve everything, and there was no need to use Zhao Bai'an. Cheng Xisi saw through this point, so he chose the strategy of taking all the bets and quick battles. Before the court could react, he took Jinyang as quickly as possible.

But Cheng Xisi forgot a truth and took it for granted. How could you clearly understand another person’s true thoughts and ideas?

It is precisely because of this that the defenders in Yizhou City thought that Wang Huaili and Huang Baichuan were not threatening, so they relaxed their vigilance, so that Huang Baichuan easily captured Yizhou with a night attack.

"The Grand Marshal, Cheng Xisi's family and the entire Cheng clan, have a total of more than 230 people, all of whom have been captured."
