"Lu Feng is really a waste, he was afraid of wolves and tigers, and he didn't even dare to go out of the city."

Cheng Xisi cursed in a low voice.

After learning that Huang Qian would come to sneak attack, Cheng Xisi immediately made full preparations, planning to annihilate Huang Xi and his own soldiers and horses, but he was cautious, in addition, he still sent someone to Jinyang to inform Lu Feng and asked him to send someone to ambush in the rear.

If Huang Zhi did not take the ambush route, then after Huang Zhi arrived in Jinyang, he would deceive all his troops into the city, and in the middle of the night, he would secretly open the city gate and lead the army into the city.

How did Lu Feng do it?

He neither led the army out of the city to ambush in the rear, nor did he let the Huang Zhi army enter the city, he took Jinyang too seriously, cherished himself and tried for small profits, he had no courage, and he was even more clever, wanting to trick Huang Zhen into the city, and then kill him, there is a good saying, there must be a demon when things go wrong, Lu Feng's actions and abnormalities suddenly aroused Huang Zhen's vigilance and suspicion, and finally pushed the originally simple things to be complicated.

Cheng Xisi can now be sure that the person who came to tell the whistle was probably not sent by Lu Feng, and what Huang Xi did was very likely to be improvised, and then acted decisively, without notifying Lu Feng at all.

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

A general walked over and shouted a loud report.

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

"Yes, Marshal."

The general gave up his order and was about to leave, when Cheng Xisi grabbed his arm and whispered: "After entering the city, pay close attention to Lu Feng's every move, where your army is stationed, you must be close to the city gate, and don't be at the mercy of others." ”

Lu Feng did not listen to Cheng Xisi's suggestion, and always stood still, not only because he valued Jinyang City too much, but also because he did not trust Cheng Xisi, on the contrary, Cheng Xisi also distrusted Lu Feng, to put it bluntly, the two of them united only because of interests, and other than that, they had nothing to do with it.

"Understood."

The general nodded his head in understanding, then turned to leave.

Another general suggested in a low voice at this time: "Great marshal, Jinyang City is now within reach, it is better to ...... Lu Feng"

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

Cheng Xisi was silent, and after a while, he shook his head and said: "I just started an incident, and it was the time to win the hearts of the people, and I killed my allies for no reason, and other people who want to vote for me will definitely have suspicion and scruples in their hearts, which is not good for me." ”

When the general saw that Cheng Xisi said this, there was some truth, so he didn't say more.

Cheng Xisi's eyes looked at the Huang Zhi garrison in the distance, squinted and pondered for a moment, and then gave an order: "Immediately assemble the army, surround the Huang Zhen to me, send people to collect hay, and attack with fire first to shake the opponent's army." ”

Cheng Xisi has already made up his mind, and he will launch a strong attack tonight, strive to solve the trouble of Huang Xuan before dawn, and then take Jinyang as the center and call on all parts of Hedong to raise troops to raise troops to raise a major event.

Hedong is the foundation of the Wing King Zhao He, which has been operated for many years, and the forces here can be described as detached from the imperial court, Cheng Xisi believes that as long as he takes Jinyang and makes a call, he will definitely be able to get a group response, and when the time comes, many forces will gather in Jinyang, and his strength will be greatly improved, so that there will be strength and space to confront the imperial court.

Cheng Xihei rebelled in the name of the Qing monarch's side, and his main purpose was not to overthrow the current emperor, the wing king Zhao He was dead, and Zhao Xun became the emperor, which is already an established fact, not one or two edicts that can be changed.

Cheng Xihe's real goal was to occupy Jinyang, force the imperial court to compromise, and let himself occupy Hedong.

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

But what Cheng Xisi didn't know was that there was a good word, the praying mantis catching cicadas and yellow finches were behind.

Just when Cheng Xisi was triumphant all the way and victorious, his lair, the big rear, Yizhou, had been breached.

Wang Huailie still did not move, and Huang Baichuan, the envoy of Caizhou Jiedu, suddenly sent troops to attack at night when Cheng Xisi broke through Qizhou and the army went to Jinyang, and took Yizhou in one fell swoop.

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

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

Of course, it's not that Cheng Xisi doesn't pay attention to Yizhou, here is his nest that he has been operating for many years, how can he not pay attention to it, but Cheng Xisi has already calculated accurately, Wang Huailie and Huang Baichuan, before the situation is favorable to the imperial court, will never send troops, because if the imperial court loses in this war, the pressure and control of the local jiedu envoy will be greatly reduced, as the jiedu envoy of the supporting army, Wang Huailie and Huang Baichuan, who doesn't want to take away the hat that is pressed on their heads?

In fact, before Cheng Xisi led the main force to the north, he sent people to find Wang Huailie and Huang Baichuan, wanting to test the attitude of the two, of course, there was no response, but there was one point, the people he sent returned safely, and Wang Huailie and Huang Baichuan, although they did not agree, but they did not refuse, this is actually a statement.

There is also a threat, that is, Zhao Bo'an, Zhao Bo'an is now in Jiangnan, although he has no official position, but he has been in Jiangnan for many years, his prestige is extremely high, the old department is all over Jiangnan, he can quickly assemble a strong army in a short period of time, but there is one point, the current situation in the Lingnan region is also very unstable, and the task and focus given to Zhao Bai'an by the imperial court is the Lingnan region.

The rebellion launched by Cheng Xisi did not attract enough attention from the imperial court, Zhao Xun felt that with the existing strength in Hedong, plus 30,000 forbidden troops, it was enough to solve everything, and there was no need to use Zhao Bo'an, Cheng Xisi saw through this, so he chose a desperate and quick strategy, and took Jinyang as quickly as possible before the imperial court did not react.

But Cheng Xisi forgot a truth, take it for granted, how can you be clear and fully understand the true thoughts and thoughts of another person?

It is precisely because of this that the defenders in Yizhou City also thought that Wang Huailie and Huang Baichuan were not threats, and relaxed their vigilance, so that Huang Baichuan easily took Yizhou in a night attack.

"Dashuai, Cheng Xihe's family and the entire Cheng clan, a total of more than two hundred and thirty people, have all been arrested."

A general strode into the Yizhou Governor's Mansion and reported to Huang Baichuan.
