Chapter 1 Hurricane 1

Let's say that Li Fu was seriously injured and died in the Jingmen official residence. Liu Jurong, Qin Zongquan, Zhao Xuan, Cui Xuan, Cao Quanyu and other Li Tang generals were very sad, especially Liu Jurong, which really made him cry.

For a long time, Liu Jurong stood up with tears, looked at the generals in the room, and said, "This is a fierce battle with the Huangchao bandits in Jingmen. Although the number of casualties in our army is lower than that of the bandits, it is also greatly damaged. Fortunately, the three commanders, Qin Zongquan, Zhao Yu and Cui Xuan, sent troops to rescue him, and Huang Chao retreated to Jiangling. Xiangzhou is temporarily safe. Jurong asks you to continue to station troops in the Jingmen area and try your best to stop the bandits from going north to ensure the safety of Xiangzhou!"

Cao Quanyi said excitedly, "I think that if everyone goes south and attack Jiangling, the Huangchao thief will not stop piercing in Jiangbei. If the Tang Dynasty recapture Jiangling, it will certainly defeat the fierce flames!"

Liu Jurong waved his hand and said, "Otherwise, the court often doesn't keep its word. When there is a crisis, it will comfort the soldiers and reward officials and others. When the matter calms down, it will abandon us aside. Some people may even offend them because of their merits. It's better to keep the thieves as the capital of our generation to seek wealth and nobles." Hearing this, everyone thought that Liu Jurong's words were reasonable, so they stopped mentioning the attack on Jiangling. They only camped around Jingmen and guarded against the Qi army going north to capture Xiangzhou.

After Huang Chao led the Chinese army to cover the third village soldiers and horses and retreated to Jiangling, he immediately organized personnel to treat the wounded soldiers and soldiers in the battle, and sent Meng Kai to lead the first village soldiers and horses to camp in the north of Jiangling City, closely monitor the Tang army in Jingmen and beware of the Tang army's sneak attack.

Huang Siye came to the middle army tent with the main general of the third village and knelt on the ground. Huang Siye said, "uncle, Siye underestimated the enemy and was ambushed by Li Fu and Liu Jurong's army, causing heavy losses. Uncle, please deal with us according to the military law!"

Huang Chao scolded: "You have learned military tactics with me since you were a child. Don't you know that the enemy is unknown, so it's great to go deep into the military. Things have happened. You must learn a profound lesson. When something happens, you should use your brain more and listen to the opinions of the generals. Even ordinary soldiers often have a lot of good ideas. You should also listen to their reactions and brainstorm to increase the proportion of success!"

Huang Siye listened and slapped himself several times and sobbed: "The fallen soldiers of the third village of Daqi, you sprinkle your blood on Jingmen. Huang Siye is the biggest sinner. I must avenge you!"

Wang Yu said, "Thanks to Liu Wei, Zhang Quan and Peng Yu's full rescue, the main general of the third village was able to withdraw to Jiangling. We must remember the shame of Jingmen, expand our army and training, defeat the Tang army in Xiangzhou, and promote the prestige of our great Qi!"

Soon, Huang Chao ordered the main generals of the Chinese army of Daqi, the first village and the third village to gather in the Jiangling government office to discuss the action plan. After the generals arrived at Qi, Huang Chao said, "Brothers and sisters, according to the intelligence of the reconnaissance, at present, several Tang army's army gathered in Jingmen area is very obvious, which is to work together to stop the main force of Daqi from attacking Xiangzhou in the north. After careful analysis, I think that the previous advance plan proposed by the Chai Cun brothers is quite smart. It's a pity that I was overwhelmed by victory at that time and didn't take the advice of the Chai Cun brothers. Now I think about it, and I'm very regretful!"

Chai Cun shook his fan and said peacefully, "Brother Huang's plan to attack Xiangzhou may not be bad. The key is that our army underestimated the enemy, was ambushed by the Tang army, and lost a good fighter to attack Xiangzhou. Now we can only adopt the eastward plan."

"Yes, Chai Cun brothers, this time the main force of Daqi will move eastward according to your deployment. Just tell everyone about your Dongjin plan!" Huang Chao urged.

The generals agreed with Huang Chao's opinion and urged Chai Cun to talk about the eastward plan.

Chai Cun stood up and shouted, "Dearing the trust of Brother Huang and all the brothers and sisters, Chai Cun told all the plans of Daqi's main eastward. Please be sure to operate according to this plan. I firmly believe that Daqi will be able to develop and grow, and the military flag of Daqi will be planted in the vast areas on the second bank of the Yangtze River! Li Tang's main force wiped out the ashes and smoke, and the great Qi Xiongshi went straight to Luoyang, and the uprising storm swept the land of China!"

Everyone stared breathly, and there was a brief calm in the council chamber.

Chai Cun took a sip of tea and continued to say, "This expedition to the east is to attack Ezhou with the autumn wind sweeping away the fallen leaves, and instead to attack Raozhou, Xinzhou, Chizhou, Xuanzhou, Shezhou, Hangzhou and other places. To occupy the vast areas around these cities, expand the influence of Daqi, and absorb the children of excellent poor families to join the army, it is expected that the Eastern Expedition of Daqi will take about half a year, and the total strength will reach 56,000. During the Eastern Expedition, the main forces of Gao Yu and Dong Chang should be eliminated. After the victory of the Eastern Expedition, he transferred his troops to the west and took Xiangzhou, Ruzhou, Mengzhou, Bianzhou, Xuzhou and other military important places north of the Yangtze River. Then there is the capture of Luoyang and Chang'an! Everyone can meet in the Golden Luan Treasure Hall, hehe!"

Huang Chao smiled and said, "The Chai Cun brothers are so clever that they can be regarded as the first think tank of Daqi. This is the Eastern Expedition of Daqi. Next, I will announce the specific candidates for the Eastern Expedition. Mengkai's army, the first village of Daqi, was mainly responsible for attacking Ezhou, the soldiers and horses of the third village were responsible for the perimeter of Ezhou, and the Chinese army was responsible for attacking the enemy who reinforced Ezhou. Sun Mei and Yue Lingfei sent troops from Hongzhou to attack Jiangzhou and cooperate with Daqi's main actions. Soldiers are fast, let's take action!"

A few days later, all the soldiers and horses from Daqi left Jiangling and began the eastern expedition. Yu Lu had nothing to say. After the army arrived at the periphery of Ezhou, Huang Chao ordered to attack Ezhou as originally planned.

Meng Kai ordered Huang Kui's army to attack the east city of Ezhou, Zhu Wen's army to attack Nancheng, Zhu Zhen's army to attack the west city, and Pang Shigu's army to attack the north city. Meng Kai led the army to attack the inner city. After the arrangement was completed, the first village soldiers of Daqi launched a fierce attack on Ezhou!

Duan Yanmo, the Tang general of Ezhou, was frightened and said to Zhu Jingmei, the eunuch of the army, "I didn't expect that the Huangchao thief came to Ezhou so soon. This time, the thief came out. It seems that we have to take Ezhou. Our army must not be able to hold it. Let's kill the circle of the thief and escape for your life!"

Li Sui, a staff member, said, "I agree with General Duan's opinion, concentrate the elite soldiers and horses of the whole city, kill them out of the city in the middle of the night and retreat to Anzhou."

Duan Yanmo nodded: "It's not too late. Prepare urgently now and start to break through at midnight tonight!"

In the middle of the night, Duan Yanmo, Zhu Jingmei and Li Sui led 20,000 elite soldiers in Ezhou to open the north gate and break through the siege. After a scuffle, the Tang army lost 6,000 to 7,000 people, and the remaining 10,000 soldiers and horses were taken to Anzhou by Duan Yanmo, Zhu Jingmei and Li Sui, and joined forces with the Tang army there to strengthen the city fortifications and resist the Qi army. Attack Anzhou in the north.

The next day, Meng Kai ordered the first village soldiers and horses to launch a general attack on the remnants of Ezhou. Less than three hours, the rebels occupied Ezhou!

After fighting down Ezhou, the Rebel forces quickly expanded and swept across the vast areas around Ezhou. The Tang army fled when they heard the wind, and the power of the Qi army spread all over Hubei.

However, some civilian armed forces near Ezhou refused to surrender to the rebels and resisted stubbornly due to the steep terrain. In particular, the two brothers, Liao Zhong and Liao Shu, the landlords of the Tang year, gathered nearly 10,000 soldiers and sent troops to attack the rebels, causing great casualties to the rebels.

The two brothers of Liao were very arrogant and set up ambushes near today's Chongyang Mountain and Tongcheng Tiezhu Port to stop the Huangchao Uprising Army. The Rebels attacked head-on, repulsed the ambush of the Liao brothers, and chased them to the defeated Liao brothers in Maling. Li Gongdi killed Liao Shu, and Liao Zhong led the remnants to retreat in the direction of Mai City.

Liao Zhong led the remnants and retreated to Maishi, which coincided with the storm and difficulties. Liao Zhongxing asked why it was halfway, and his subordinates said, "It's not far from Mai City, and the name of this place is Luomapo." Liao Zhong looked up to the sky and sighed, "I have been defeated so far. My wings will be broken, and there will be heavy rain. This day will also destroy me!" While waiting to get off the horse and escape, the Huang Chao brigade chased and killed him. Huang Chao's Rebel Army chased from Zoumaling to here for exactly seven miles, and later generations called this place Qili Mountain for the record.

At that time, there was another gentry Zhang Ying in Tanghu, southeast of Tongcheng. He was familiar with military books, liked to dance with guns and sticks, recruited soldiers and horses to establish a civil group, and claimed to be the hero. One day, Tanghu is a dangerous Huai Liao Village. The three sides of Chongyang Gaoshui in the southeast and Jiangxi Xiushui are steep cliffs. Only the southwest of Tongcheng has a way to pass through. Famous fairy ridges can climb to the peak by chiseling ladders from the rocks. He is guarded here and has 100,000 elite soldiers, known as 100,000.

Zhang 100,000 heard that the Liao brothers died at the hands of the Daqi army and planned to take advantage of Huang Chao's division to march and hit the Qi army heavily when he was unfamiliar with the situation. Unexpectedly, not only was his team defeated by the Daqi army, but also the dangerous Huai Liaozhai fortress was completely destroyed by the Daqi army, and Zhang 100,000 killed himself. After eliminating the local armed forces, Huang Chao ordered the whole army to rest for three days. All the officers and soldiers took off their robes and dried them on the rocks. Since then, Huailiao Village has been renamed "Huangpao Mountain".

Acacia Mountain in the southwest of Tongcheng is a natural barrier in Hunan and Hubei provinces. After the Qi army stationed in Tongcheng, it wiped out the Tang army guarded at the Qinglong blockage card of the Yellow Flag Pass on this mountain, and planted the Yi flag on the eastern boulder, leaving a large bowl of flag stone holes so far. The main peak of Acacia Mountain is the place where the white-clothed soldiers of the Huangchao Rebel Army are stationed, so it is also called the white-clothed pass by the people.

After the rebels occupied the whole territory of Ezhou, Sun Mei and Yue Lingfei also led their troops to capture Jiangzhou and rushed to Ezhou to win the victory of the division with the main force of the Rebel Army. The flag of the flag hunted in Ezhou. The generals of Daqi were extremely powerful, and there was no crime in autumn. They were deeply loved by the people. The children of the people enthusiastically joined the army. The strength of the Rebel army were like lions rolling snowballs. More and more, it is not what it used to be.

Huang Chao was overjoyed and ordered to kill chickens and sheep in Ezhou to reward the three armies. During the banquet, Huang Chao held Yue Lingfei's hand tightly and said happily, "Lingfei, you have worked hard. Since the main force of our army entered southern Xinjiang, it has not been easy for you and Sun Mei to stand alone in the south of the Yangtze River! Today, we will join together. Daqi will march all the way east, sweep the Jianghuai and Tang army, eliminate the main forces of Gao Yu and Dong Chang, and relieve the worries of the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains!"

"Yes, for more than a year, it has been a turning point for Daqi to change from weak to strong, which is really worthy of our happiness." Yue Lingfei smiled.

Sun Mei said, "Brother Huang, I'm worried about Lu Qi, Wen Ying, Huang Hao, as well as Xianzhi and your children. I have to take troops to Qilu to see them!"

Huang Chao nodded: "What Madam said is that I will allocate 50,000 horses for you to go to Qilu on a starry night, meet the soldiers and horses of Lu Qi, Wen Ying and Huang Hao, and cooperate with the main forces of the Rebels to capture Jianghuai!"

The next day, Sun Mei led 50,000 horses to Qilu and soon arrived in Caozhou. When Lu Qi and Wen Ying heard the news, Sun Mei personally led troops to Qilu to assist them. They were very happy and took Huang Hao, Huang Xiong, Huang Ying, Wang Ying, Wang Yan and other young generals from Yunzhou and came to Caozhou to meet Sun Mei.

Sun Mei watched the volunteer military training at Caozhou campus and saw Lu Qi and Wen Ying coming with horses and whips. She took three steps and two steps and walked towards Lu Qi and Wen Ying. Lu Qi and Wen Ying came to Sun Mei's side, turned over and got off the horse, knelt on the ground together, and shouted, "The adoptive mother is on the top, please be worshipped by the child!"

Sun Mei came forward to help Lu Qi and Wen Ying, and greeted Huang Hao, Huang Xiong, Huang Ying, Wang Ying, Wang Yan and others. Wang Ying and Wang Yan rushed into Sun Mei's arms and shouted, "Mom, we miss you!"

Sun Mei had tears in her eyes and said excitedly, "Good boy, mom misses you as much as you!"
