"Why? At this time, Huang Chao still has hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses, and it is impossible for us to defeat him easily! Lin Feng turned his head to look at Yuan Biao puzzled, and said the doubts in his heart.

"It's not what it seems!" Yuan Biao shook his head slightly to say that he didn't agree with Lin Feng's opinion, and then began to analyze Lin Feng: "Brother Feng, although Huang Chao still has hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses under his command, Huang Chao is a horseman, who can only fight, not govern the country. When he invaded Chang'an City, he was busy organizing his enthronement ceremony and did not issue any measures to reassure the people in the city, which also led to the killing of many court officials in Chang'an City, including almost all the merchants and magnates. And Huang Chao did not reward his subordinates in time, and this wrong move led to his subordinates to burn and loot unscrupulously in Chang'an City, and finally caused more than half of the people in the city to flee from the city in a hurry, and most of them hid in the deep mountains and old forests, so that a large area of farmland near Chang'an City was put on hold. ”

"The hearts of the people! You mean the hearts of the people! Lin Feng immediately understood the meaning of Yuan Biao's words, and shouted out with a pat on his thigh.

"Well, the people's hearts are a point! And there's one more important point! After Yuan Biao nodded and agreed with Lin Feng's point of view, he changed his words and said another reason: "Food!" The shelving of a large area of farmland led to no harvest within a year, and Huang Chao's military food at this time also relied on the grain that the Tang Dynasty had placed in Chang'an, after more than a year of consumption by hundreds of thousands of soldiers under Huang Chao's command, those grains were basically eaten up, and the army without grain and grass was a group of refugees fleeing the famine! ”

At this time, Lin Feng was raising his hand and pinching his chin and kept rubbing it to recall Yuan Biao's words just now, these situations were unknown to Lin Feng, who rushed to the front line in Fengzhou, after listening to Yuan Biao's words, Lin Feng gradually had a new view of the current situation, perhaps, Huangchao's days are really numbered.

Judging from the combat effectiveness of the Qi army under Huang Chao alone, it is far less than **, coupled with the gap in equipment and weapons between the two sides, this also leads to the situation that the Qi army only sticks to the city and does not go out of the city to fight a decisive battle.

Originally, at the beginning of the Huangchao Uprising, the current Qi army was only a rebel army, and most of the members were peasants who could not eat a full meal. When they knew that they could eat every meal if they joined the rebel army, they joined in without hesitation.

In every battle that followed, they rushed to the front without hesitation and without fear of life and death, just to capture the city in front of them that blocked their food, and then make themselves more full and better.

But when they invaded Chang'an and soon became officers and soldiers who could eat every meal, the spirit of their uprising had gradually disappeared. Especially when they are faced with the slaughter and looting of those unarmed and helpless people, the hatred they hide in their hearts for ** has gradually disappeared.

The reason for all this is actually very simple, that is, they can eat every meal, and they don't have to work. They no longer had to be bullied by corrupt Tang officials, and they could even bully and kill them.

When these wishes are satisfied, they have already got what they want, so they don't want to continue to fight with **, after all, it is still a war, and they need real knives and guns to fight the battlefield, and if they are not careful, they will die and cry.

Especially after thinking that if the Qi army had no food and grass, the Qi soldiers would not have enough to eat, Lin Feng understood, nodded to Yuan Biao suddenly realized, and said with a slight smile: "I see, I don't know these situations yet!" If it's really like you said, this Yellow Nest really hasn't been bouncing for two years! ”

After finishing speaking, Lin Feng also felt strange in his heart that Huang Chao would die in 884 as it was just now, and even felt that it was very possible.

"Just like us back then, we were actually driven up the mountain from the village by the Qi army and began to flee to life!" Saying that, Yuan Biao shook his head and continued with a wry smile: "I really didn't expect that I would have such a day!" Hehe.. ”

"Hey!" Lin Feng let out a long sigh, first shook his head alone, then slowly lay down, and pulled the quilt on his body a little tighter before saying to Yuan Biao: "It's not early, I'm going to sleep first, you should go to bed early, it's been a tiring day!" ”

"Hmmm! I'm feeling a little sleepy too! Yuan Biao also stood up beside the bed, and said to Lin Feng while stretching his waist: "Brother Feng, then go to bed early!" ”

"Hmm." Lin Feng vaguely agreed and then went silent, because when he just lay on the pillow, he first felt that the world was spinning in his head, and then he fell asleep groggily.

Yuan Biao glanced at Lin Feng, who was already snoring slightly on the bed, and then walked to the table and blew out the candlelight, and then put on another bed in the room with his clothes closed.

When the sky was only slightly bright, that is, when Yin Bo returned to Hechi County with Huang Hua's body, Zhou Liang, who led 3,000 cavalry to chase Huang Hua, also returned to Liangdang City.

However, the difference between the two is that Yin Bo returned victorious after getting the body of Huang Hua, the main general of the Qi army, while Zhou Liang led more than 1,000 remnants of the army to return defeated.

As Lin Feng said to Uncle Li Huang, after Zhou Liang led three thousand light cavalry to chase after Huang Kuo, who had fled, he was arrogant not to cover up from the periphery of the Qi army's camp, but to charge and kill the five or six thousand Qi army with three thousand light cavalry, wanting to defeat the Qi army in one fell swoop as quickly as possible.

Under normal circumstances, Zhou Liang's method might still be able to achieve his military exploits. But at this time, ** had just won, and his three thousand subordinates were even more arrogant, and they didn't take the Qi army in their eyes at all.

And the Qi army originally had no intention of fighting, but when they faced the ** who rushed into their camp and was about to slaughter themselves, they clenched the weapons in their hands one by one and resisted desperately. After all, everyone in the Qi army is here to survive, so it makes sense that they would do this.

When the three thousand light horsemen rushed into the camp of the Qi army and encountered the stubborn resistance of the Qi army, they found that they were underestimated, but they were already surrounded by the Qi army at that time. At the critical moment, thanks to Zhou Liang, who did not lose his senses, decisively gave the order to retreat, he led everyone to fight desperately to get out of the encirclement and get out of danger.

When Zhou Liang returned to the county government of Liangdang City in despair and saw Uncle Li Huang, he did make up excuses such as the number of Qi troops was too large, so he did not succeed.

Uncle Li Huang, who had already been mentally prepared, did not expose Zhou Liang's lies in person, and not only did not punish Zhou Liang, but also commended Zhou Liang's courage in public, and also made a big note for Zhou Liang in the credit book.

Facing Zhou Liang, who did not capture Huang Hua alive but came back from the rout, the rest of the generals also sighed secretly in their hearts, and they were all secretly glad that Uncle Li Huang didn't let him go.

Although Zhou Liang was credited with a credit in the end, the meager credit was far less important than his own life in the eyes of everyone, so everyone did not have any objections, and this matter was turned over so lightly.
