Compared with the fierce battles of Jiuchang Road, Tai'an Road and Shouyan Road are much quieter.

Ever since Dugu Nan withdrew his troops and Huang Ji led his troops to retake Taizhou City, the battlefield here has fallen into silence, and even Zhao Zhongtian, who retreated to Shouchun, has ceased his activities.

There is no other reason than that most of the soldiers and horses under him who can fight have been lost, so he can only hold on to the city.

But no one knew that the Yanzhou City where Qin Xiaotian was stationed had quietly gained tens of thousands of troops. Even King Huai Chen Tiansheng appeared in the city, but without any flags.

At the gate of the city, Huang Ji led hundreds of light cavalry and rushed into the city, heading straight for the main camp in the city.

As soon as he entered Yanzhou City, Huang Ji smelled a strange smell.

He knew that the garrison in Yanzhou City was only about 50,000, but looking at the soldiers coming and going on both sides of the street and the size of the garrison camp, the number was probably more than 50,000.

There are many flags on the top of the city, and the soldiers are majestic. At first glance, they are all elite infantry. How can they look like they are about to start a war?

A few days ago, Huang Ji received a message from Qin Xiaotian, inviting him to come to Yanzhou City to discuss military affairs. Naturally, he came without hesitation.

After all, he has joined the army, so it would be right to inquire more about the military situation.

Soon, the cavalry stopped outside the camp, and Huang Ji strode into the meeting hall of Yanzhou City. As soon as he stepped into the door of the mansion, Huang Ji's eyes froze.

The person sitting in the main seat is not Qin Xiaotian, but Chen Tiansheng. According to Huang Ji's information, Chen Tiansheng should stay on Huaijiang Road. Why does he appear here?

Chen Tiansheng, who had rested for a long time on Huaijiang Road, was a little fatter and his face was rosy.

Chen Tiansheng glanced at him and said with a meaningful smile: "Why, General Huang doesn't recognize me anymore?"

"thump!"

Huang Ji, who had a ghost in his heart, trembled. He knelt down on his knees, bowed respectfully, and shouted loudly:

"My subordinate Huang Ji has met the king!"

Huang Ji pressed his face firmly to the ground, not daring to raise his head for fear that Chen Tiansheng would see the strange expression on his face.

If Chen Tiansheng knew that he had surrendered to the enemy, it would be easy to cut him into pieces.

This appearance made Qin Xiaotian, who was sitting aside, frown a little. This Huang Ji didn't respect Chen Tiansheng so much before. What's going on today?

"Without courtesy, General Huang, please take a seat." Chen Tiansheng waved his hand gently, and there was nothing strange on his face. Like Ling Gong, he had no good impression of Huang Ji from the first time he saw him.

Huang Ji sat on the side obediently, with his back straight, a smile on his face and said: "I didn't know that King Huai is here, so I'm rude."

"Haha~" Chen Tiansheng smiled: "The spies of the government and army are everywhere, so we have to be on guard~"

"Exactly, it's better to be careful."

"Previously, Tai'an Road was attacked by government troops. How was the situation?"

"Thanks to King Hongfu, my subordinates have repulsed the official army and recovered all the cities they belong to."

The two chatted casually, and after a while, Chen Tiansheng said casually: "I heard that General Huang is recruiting troops on Tai'an Road. I wonder how the army expansion is going?"

Huang Ji's expression froze. Ever since he was released by Fifth Xinrou, he had begun to expand his army. He finally recognized the reality that no matter who he sacrificed his life for, he would only be confident if he had soldiers in his hands.

"The officers and soldiers are powerful, haven't my subordinates made preparations in advance? Haha~" Huang Ji smiled awkwardly.

In fact, he had tried his best to keep the recruitment of troops secret, but he didn't expect to be discovered.

"How many people have been recruited?"

"About 30,000, and we are still training intensively."

Huang Ji deliberately concealed some of the number of people. In fact, in just two months, he had expanded the number to more than 40,000 people, but the combat power of more than 40,000 people was really not on the table.

"Well, quite a few~"

Chen Tiansheng smiled: "It just so happens that I have military affairs to discuss here, and General Huang's newly recruited troops can also be put to use."

Huang Ji was stunned and asked cautiously: "May I ask what your Majesty's orders are?"

Chen Tiansheng walked slowly to the map, pointed with his hand and said: "The war on Jiuchang Road is intense. I want to send out a large number of troops to occupy the entire Shouyan Road and encircle Shouchun!"

Huang Ji was shocked. He didn't hear any news about such a big event in advance. No wonder there were many more soldiers and horses in Yanzhou City. It seemed that they were preparing to capture Shouyan Road.

However, although he was surprised in his heart, Huang Ji still echoed: "It's a good plan to attack from both sides and make the officers and soldiers exhausted!"

Chen Tiansheng turned to look at Huang Ji and said: "The general's 40,000 to 50,000 troops and horses can be moved. Let's divide our troops into two groups and attack Shouchun from a flank!"

Huang Ji replied almost without thinking: "The general will always obey the king's orders. This time, the general is willing to personally lead the army to attack Shouyan Road and attack Shouchun City with General Qin!"

Chen Tiansheng frowned. When did Huang Ji become so obedient and wanted to personally lead his troops to conquer Shouchun?

In fact, Huang Ji was afraid. The tens of thousands of soldiers and horses he allocated to Chen Tiansheng before were like meat buns beating a dog. They would never come back. This time he had worked hard to recruit so many soldiers, but he didn't want Chen Tiansheng to take them for himself again.

.

"Your Majesty, please trust me and I will serve you to the death!" Huang Ji said in a more serious tone.

After hesitating for a long time, Chen Tiansheng finally nodded: "Okay, since General Huang has the courage and courage, it's up to you to go back and mobilize troops as soon as possible. We will send troops in ten days!"

"promise!"

Huang Jida breathed a sigh of relief, bowed and retreated. He still had to pass this news to Fifth Xinrou as soon as possible.

Looking at Huang Ji's retreating figure, Qin Xiaotian snorted coldly: "He has become smarter and knows that he cannot let go of the military power."

They could guess Huang Ji's thoughts with just a little thought.

Chen Tiansheng murmured softly: "If the officers and soldiers hadn't been pressing forward step by step, I would have dealt with this guy long ago."

Qin Xiaotian said softly: "Brother, even if he leads the troops to fight in person, if he doesn't get enough protection, he will drag his feet and delay our war~"

The plan to attack Shouchun this time was discussed by Chen Tiansheng and Ling Gong. The battle on Jiuchang Road was not going well, so they could only start the battle on Shouyan Road.

Now Chen Tiansheng and Qin Xiaotian join forces, with a total of 100,000 troops, plus Huang Ji's troops, isn't it more than enough to deal with a disabled Zhao Zhongtian with more than 100,000 troops?

"Hmph~"

Chen Tiansheng sneered: "If he dares to play tricks, we will directly take over his troops. If he serves us well, he will be able to leave a place for him on Tai'an Road in the future and become a rich man."

Qin Xiaotian's eyes narrowed: "I will send someone to keep an eye on him. If he is not honest, hehe~"

"Okay~"

Chen Tiansheng stretched a little tiredly: "Get ready to go, this battle is the breakthrough for us to defeat the official army!"
