In late March, the soldiers under Luoyang King Xiao Jingyao divided into three groups and began to capture Chuzhou, Danyang and Jingkou.
Wang Mian, the cavalry commander of the King of Luoyang, personally led his army to Langya Mountain in Chuzhou. With the help of Wang Shangrou, the widow of Guanglu Dafu, he met his brother, Wang Yu, the official of Chuzhou Prefecture. After half a day of discussion,
Let's go together to persuade the prefect of Chuzhou to surrender.
At the same time, Xie Youan, the Xie family of Chenjun, who was named General of Guard, followed the orders of King Xiao Jingyao of Luoyang and immediately set off to lead troops to capture Danyang.
Xiao Jingyao personally led his troops to capture Jingkou, using Wei Dongting as the vanguard of the navy, preparing to cross the river with the wind, while Hou Chong, the captain of Yueqin, led thousands of elite troops, and together with the navy, took advantage of the situation to attack Jingkou at night.
The person guarding Jingkou was Xiao Heng's confidant, former general Fu Chang, who did not dare to relax at all day and night. When he noticed that there were fires on the river at night, he quickly ordered someone to shoot arrows.
At night, Fu Chang didn't know how many casualties and injuries of the team crossing the river were. He just stood on the city wall and looked out at the river. Seeing everything calm, he thought that the team crossing the river was repelled by them and ordered the stop to shoot arrows.
.
In order to prevent them from continuing to cross the river in the dark, Fu Chang specially instructed his subordinates to lead a team of troops out of the city quietly and guard the riverside.
Not only was the river calm, but even the team of people stationed outside the city was silent.
Fu Chang secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing that the soldiers were exhausted, he rubbed his eyebrows and told everyone to rest for a while and wait for the day to come.
However, Fu Chang never expected that when the dawn was about to begin to emerge, Hou Chong led thousands of iron cavalry to attack Jingkou, and caught Fu Chang's soldiers off guard.
And it was also at this time that he realized that the team he sent to guard the riverside had already turned against the team of Luoyang King Xiao Jingyao before he could even notice it!
Fu Chang hurriedly led his troops to resist. There were tens of thousands of troops guarding Jingkou, and no matter what, they would not be able to match thousands of iron cavalry!
But he never thought that following thousands of iron cavalry were hundreds of thousands of troops led by Xiao Jingyao.
Fu Chang fought stubbornly, but after a few days and nights of fierce fighting, the soldiers were exhausted. In addition, Ye Zhiqiu secretly sent people to promote the Luoyang King in Jingkou to win the hearts of the people. Today, the emperor Xiao Heng lost his hearts, and the situation in the imperial capital has changed even more.
The soldiers under Fu Chang were even more influenced by these statements and lost the confidence to fight against Luoyang King Xiao Jingyao and turned against each other.
Seeing his soldiers turning against each other, Fu Chang had no other choice but to send someone to the imperial capital and ask the emperor for more troops. However, the messenger he sent was intercepted by Hou Chong's iron cavalry before he left the entrance of the capital.
.
Fu Chang knew that there was no way out and asked to see King Xiao Jingyao of Luoyang. However, Xiao Jingyao did not see him, but sent Hou Chong, the captain of Yueqin.
Fu Chang stared at Hou Chong thoughtfully for a while, then shook his head in disbelief and said, "I remember correctly. You should be stationed in Jizhou, how could you join the command of the King of Luoyang?"
Hou Chong smiled faintly, and an elite light shot out from his eyes: "General Fu, why do you think Hou is willing to station in Jizhou?"
"You..." Fu Chang suddenly understood something and said with a sudden realization: "You have already planned to join the King of Luoyang, just waiting for one opportunity?"
Hou Chong did not deny his speculation and nodded and added: "Yes, what Hou is waiting for is an opportunity to help the Lord Gong take revenge!"
