The war in the southern border has undergone earth-shaking changes in just a few days.

Tai'an Road was attacked by surprise, and all the garrison troops were beaten into sieves by the light cavalry led by Dugu Nan. One city after another was defeated by the official army.

Fifteen thousand cavalry is not a small number in the Central Plains, it is enough to sweep through the rabble.

Qin Xiaotian's 50,000-strong army was stationed in Yanzhou City and did not dare to make any move. The soldiers and horses under their command that were stationed in Tai'an Road were also attacked and suffered heavy losses. Some people have fled back to Yanzhou City one after another.

The military order from Ling Palace is to stick to the city and never leave the city without permission.

In Ling Gong's consideration, the army's sneak attack on Tai'an Road was just a temporary measure. A mere 10,000 cavalrymen could not defend such a city at all.

The ultimate goal of the officers and soldiers should be to attract Qin Xiaotian to come out, and then surround and annihilate him, so the best way now is to stand still. Ling Gong commanded the army to attack the officers and soldiers, in order to attract the officers and soldiers to return to Nansidaohe.

The main battlefield on the Jiuchang Road front line.

The city of Yanzhou has high walls and plenty of food and grass. It is absolutely impossible for the army to attack it in a short time.

On the other side, Huang Ji, who had disappeared for four or five days, suddenly came back. Originally, his men thought that Huang Ji was killed in a sneak attack by the army, so they vaguely meant that the tree fell and the hozens scattered. Now that Huang Ji is back, these

People immediately have a backbone.

As soon as Huang Ji returned to the army, he began to gather troops non-stop and surrounded Taizhou City. The officers and soldiers in the city saw the incoming army and were forced to withdraw. The chaos that ravaged the entire Tai'an Road slowly came to an end.

.

On the surface, it seemed that the army first occupied Taizhou City and then lost it. It seemed that they had gained nothing. But in fact, Wu Xinrou had only one purpose this time: to conquer Huang Ji and bury a secret in Chen Tiansheng's heart.

A nail!

At the foot of Taizhou City, a large group of soldiers and horses slowly entered the city. The flags of the official army at the top of the city were violently thrown to the ground by the soldiers. They were replaced by yellow-shirted army flags with yellow backgrounds. Shouting and cheering resounded throughout the city.

superior.

Huang Ji was swaying on his horse, looking around. In just two or three days, he gathered 20,000 to 30,000 soldiers and horses, and finally recovered Taizhou City.

He seemed a bit brave, but no one knew that this leader, who was a private salt dealer, had already defected to the government. Recovering Taizhou City was just a plan agreed between him and the government army, in order to regain the trust of Ling Gong and others. After all,

After disappearing for several days, you will always be suspicious.

Huang Ji climbed up the familiar tower step by step, with a slight haze in his eyes.

It was here a few days ago that he suffered a huge defeat, became a prisoner for the first time in his life, and almost lost his life here.

He thought a lot these days, and finally made up his mind to join the army, because he felt that he had to at least be on the side that could win, right? The Fifth Heart Rou across from him was really terrifying, and even Ling Gong might not be his opponent.

.

Since we are all working hard to fight, wouldn't it be better to gain a future for ourselves? What's more, Fifth Xinrou also promised himself the position of Protector, that's enough!

A soldier walked slowly behind Huang Ji, bowed and said: "General, everyone is here~"

"Yeah~ Got it." Huang Ji let out a long breath, then turned and walked towards the city.

…

In the mansion, four or five generals stood respectfully in front of Huang Ji, with a hint of doubt in their eyes. Why did Huang Ji suddenly summon them?

Huang Ji glanced at everyone and slowly said: "You five have been with me the longest. You are all men who fought together on the battlefield, but I don't know if you are really loyal to me!"

Several people were shocked, and they all knelt down on one knee and said: "I swear to serve the general to the death!"

"Not bad~"

Huang Ji nodded with satisfaction: "Let me tell you something, please keep it in your heart."

Several people pricked up their ears. Their general was really weird today. What on earth was he going to say?

Huang Ji's eyes turned cold and he said in a deep voice: "King Huai Chen Tiansheng slaughtered the people just for personal gain and not for any great cause. I have made up my mind to abandon the dark side and turn to the bright side to serve the imperial court!"

"Hissssss~"

There was a series of air-conditioned sounds in the room. This news was so shocking. Why did they suddenly defect to the imperial court? They were at loggerheads with the government and the army two days ago.

Several people looked at each other, no one dared to speak. Which one of them would not be secretly killed if he didn't carry the lives of the officers and soldiers under his command and took refuge with them?

Huang Ji said softly: "I know what you are thinking in your hearts. Don't worry, the imperial court has given me a promise. As long as we surrender, the past will be forgotten. After the rebellion is suppressed, high officials and generous salaries are waiting for us.

Brothers, after working hard for half your life, aren't you just trying to live a comfortable life? King Huai has declined and cannot achieve anything, so it's time to find a way out for yourself."

This makes sense. Ever since Wu Xinrou took command of the frontline war, the Yellow Shirt Army has not made any progress for a long time, and its territory has been compressed around Huaijiang Road.

"How about it? Are you willing to follow me?" Huang Ji asked coldly.

Several people looked at each other, clasped their fists together and said:

"We will follow the general to the death!"

"Not bad~"

Huang Ji smiled slightly: "In the future, as long as I, Huang Ji, have a bite to eat, you will have something to eat. I, Huang, will never treat you badly!"

The reason why Huang Ji dared to tell these people openly was because they had been with him for many years and he had never treated them badly.

One person asked cautiously: "General, are we going to attack Chen Tiansheng's headquarters now?"

"Of course not~"

The corner of Huang Ji's mouth curled up: "Let's continue to be coy and coy, and cooperate with them for the time being. When the time is right, we will give him a fatal blow!"

There was a hint of viciousness in Huang Ji's eyes. Chen Tiansheng had been suppressing him all this time. One day, he would take revenge.

A few people understand.

"Papa~"

Huang Ji suddenly clapped his palms a few times, then pointed behind him and said: "I would like to introduce a person to you, Tong Hai, a military commander of the imperial court. His official position is kept secret for the time being."

A middle-aged military general slowly walked out from behind the screen.

Several people looked at the general in his thirties with wide eyes. This was the first time since the rebellion that they saw a court official face to face.

Tong Hai had a smile on his lips, raised his hands and saluted, "Everyone, we will be our own people from now on~"

Huang Ji said calmly: "From now on, all important military matters in the army do not need to be kept secret from General Tong. Do you understand?"

"clear!"

This Tong Hai was placed by Ruan Zhixiong's side before Huang Ji was released by Wu Xinrou, saying that he would help him with military affairs. In fact, Huang Ji knew that this was just an informant placed by the army around him.

But there was nothing he could do. Now that he was under someone else's care, he could no longer make the decision himself.

Huang Ji took a step forward and said in a deep voice: "Next, we will recruit troops and expand our military strength in preparation for the war!"
