Eight hundred and fiftieth chapters an empty six
Huang Qiu led his army to the Gushan Mountain to force Cheng Xisi to come for the decisive battle and delay the upcoming imperial guards. Cheng Xisi did guess this, but he did not guess one thing.
As a military governor on one side, Huang Ci was not poor, had a small territory, and had a military governor who provided material assistance to the court. His military strength was only over 10,000. This was not that Huang Ci could not afford more soldiers, nor that the source of troops was insufficient, but that Huang Ci's military management philosophy was that the soldiers were elite but not too many. Therefore, although Huang Ci didn't have many soldiers, he was definitely an extremely elite force. In addition, Huang Ci's character was rigorous and did not distinguish between high and low, and treated the soldiers in the army equally. He only paid a lot of food and salary. With these factors, Huang Ci was naturally widely loved and supported by the soldiers in the army, and everyone was willing to serve him.
So Cheng Xisi did not expect that Huang Su's army had just experienced a big defeat and lost more than half of it. Now, facing an enemy that was several times higher than his own, he still had great morale and courage, and still had extremely strong combat power.
Cheng Xisi was feeling a little relaxed when he saw Huang Qiu garrison Gushan. He was also tired. So he divided five thousand soldiers into Jinyang City first, and ordered people to find flammable things to attack Huang Qiu with fire. At the same time, he asked someone to burn the fire to cook. The whole army had a full meal. After dark, he launched a general attack to completely eliminate Huang Qiu's remaining troops.
Cheng Xisi did not underestimate Huang Su, but after a series of victories and the smooth progress from the uprising to the present, he still relaxed a little and underestimated Huang Su's courage and ability.

Huang Sui has been in the army for many years and has experienced many battles. He has never seen any kind of formation. A mere defeat cannot shake his mind. He led the army to trap Gushan, forcing Cheng Xisi to fight to the death with him, but he is definitely not waiting to die.
In fact, Huang Qi divided the 7,000 soldiers in his hand into two parts. The main force was garrisoned by 5,000 soldiers, and the remaining 2,500 soldiers were ambushed five miles away. Huang Qi's idea was to delay time as much as possible. If Cheng Xisi led the army and launched an attack immediately after he arrived, there were more than 2,000 soldiers ambushed outside as foreign aid, and they would not be trapped.
However, after Cheng Xisi's arrival, Huang Sui, who was extremely sensitive to military affairs, immediately captured the fighter opportunity. He was a veteran of many battles and would never lack decisiveness and courage. So Huang Sui immediately changed his original plan, gathered 5,000 soldiers, and immediately launched an attack without any hesitation.
Cheng Xisi's elite main force all went to ambush the 20,000 imperial guards who rushed to Jinyang. At this moment, the 20,000 troops in his hands were not strong in combat. In addition, he was not prepared, and was immediately caught off guard by Huang Sui.
The army was broken into pieces, and a big defeat was about to happen, but the incident happened too suddenly. The general sent by Cheng Xisi to enter Jinyang City and Lu Feng himself did not know that a fierce battle had begun outside the city.
Just as Cheng Xisi was about to be unable to support the army and was about to lead the army and was defeated, Lu Feng's subordinate was a Lang general named Chen Hui. Although he was young and low, he had great courage. He immediately opened the city gate and led a thousand soldiers in the headquarters, holding Lu Feng's flag tent, and rushed out.
Huang Su was surprised that Lu Feng had reacted so quickly. Could it be that he had been alert to his own movements? If so, he would underestimate this person.
There were more than 15,000 soldiers in the city. If they all rushed out, the disparity between the two sides would be too great. Huang Su knew that he had no chance of winning, and had already rushed out, so it was impossible to go back. After thinking about it, Huang Su did not dare to fight, so he gathered his troops and left north.
Cheng Xisi did not order to pursue Huang Su, and the army was scattered and could not catch up.
Cheng Xisi had a gloomy face, but he was still careless. Huang Su is indeed a veteran who has experienced many battles. His small negligence and carelessness were immediately seized by the other party and attacked decisively. He almost explained all of his more than 10,000 people here.
"General Cheng, Huang Su has left, please go to the city to rest quickly."
Chen Hui came on a horse and bowed his hand and said.
Cheng Xisi looked at him and said politely: "Can you tell me the name of the general?"
"I dare not, under Lufeng's defense envoy, Lang general Chen Hui."
Chen Hui reported his name, and his expression was neither humble nor arrogant.
Cheng Xisi looked at Chen Hui, his eyes full of admiration, and his heart was even more moved by the love of talents. If there were more such talents, how could a big deal be accomplished?
"General Chen can go into the city with me."
Cheng Xisi was very polite and entered Jinyang City with Chen Hui.
Chen Hui glanced at Cheng Xisi, but slightly widened his distance.
Lu Feng participated in this rebellion, and many of his subordinates were actually unwilling to do so, and many of them were still kept in the dark for unknown reasons.
Chen Hui was very opposed to Lu Feng's rebellious behavior. He had this idea, not to say that Chen Hui was so sincere to the court, but in Chen Hui's view, the best ending of this rebellion was just to force the court to compromise and then separatist the side. However, even if the matter succeeded, the person who benefited the most was Cheng Xisi, and it had little to do with Lu Feng. Jinyang City was the core of this rebellion. As the defensive envoy of Jinyang, once Cheng Xisi was accomplished, he might be the first person to deal with.
Lu Feng and Cheng Xisi conspired to conspire with him, and he was simply trying to find a way out, and the fate would probably be quite miserable.
Chen Hui persuaded Lu Feng several times, but unfortunately Lu Feng was arrogant and arrogant, and he couldn't listen at all. He was still dreaming of dreaming and believing in the promise that Cheng Xisi gave him. After the matter was accomplished, Lu Feng would be the governor of Jinyang and dominate the country. He would no longer have to be afraid because he was the former subordinate of the Wing King.
After two hours of marching on Huang Su, it was already dark.
At this time, the scout who went to inquire about the news finally came back and brought the battle situation there.
Chuang Yuan led the main force of the rebels with 30,000 ambushed halfway and suddenly attacked. Kou Xiong and others were unable to react in time. The army was in chaos. Fortunately, Kou Xiong himself was also a tiger general. Huang Hui and Sima Zhong, who were with the army, were also good at leading the army. These three men were well commanded and stabilized the army in time. They fought and retreated. With the loss not too much, they were defeated and walked more than 100 miles to retreat to Hong County.
After defeating Kou Xiong, Chuang Yuan led his army to Jinyang and met with Cheng Xisi and others.
