The army led by Huang Chao captured Tanzhou and Jiangling, 50,000 officers and soldiers were annihilated in Tanzhou, and the southern camp recruited the deputy capital Li to flee to Langzhou, and the defense line built by Wang Duo in Jingnan Jiedu was hit hard, and Wang Duo was forced to leave Jiangling and retreat to Xiangyang to resist Huang Chao's attack. This news caused an earthquake in the court, if Huang Chao took Xiangyang, the next may be to force the Guannei Road, the Tang Jingshi will suffer great danger, in the midst of the noise, the court once again thought of the Zhenhai Festival to make Gao Yu, many people think that although Wang Duo is the prime minister, but in the command of the war, there is still a deficiency.

However, at this time, the imperial court did not dare to adjust the candidates casually, after all, Wang Duo was in Xiangyang, if Liu Jurong, the envoy of the Shannan Dongdao Jiedu, the assassin of Zizhou, and Cao Quanyang of Jiangxi could defeat Huang Chao in one fell swoop under the command of Wang Duo, the situation in the south would be completely stabilized. Besides, adjusting the candidates at this time may not be able to order Liu Jurong and Cao Quanyang and others.

It was also under such circumstances that Lu Yanhong, the envoy of Shannan West Dao, led 15,000 soldiers to aid Xiangyang.

Lu Yanhong has a wishful abacus, although the army galloped to Xiangyang, but the degree of the march was not very fast, far from being handled according to Wang Duo's requirements, after all, Huangchao attacked Xiangyang, Liu Jurong would never dare to be sloppy at this time, he must be desperate, Cao Quanyang is also a famous general in the DPRK, and he has a very good set of battles, as long as the two work together, not to mention defeating Huangchao, at least they can keep Huangchao out of Xiangyang, as long as Shannan East Road is safe, Shannan West Road will be even safer.

It's a pity that Lu Yanhong's wishful thinking has long been calculated by Wang Duo, after the army came out, Lu Yanhong received three letters from Wang Duo in a row, all urging the trip, in this case, the helpless Lu Yanhong can only ask the army to speed up the trip, since he is ready to reinforce Xiangyang, don't fall into the army, but encounter the situation of complaining and reprimanding.

Liu Jurong and Cao Quanyang tried their best this time and were ready to fight hard.

Huang Chao is known as an army of 500,000, but after Liu Jurong and Cao Quanyang joined forces, there were only 40,000 people, and there were still a lot of foreign troops and foreign soldiers, and the combat effectiveness was not very strong, thinking of relying on 40,000 people to meet 500,000 people, it was undoubtedly looking for death, and it was impossible to achieve victory, and it was fortunate not to be annihilated, but Liu Jurong and Cao Quanyang, who had been on the battlefield for a long time, would not be frightened by Huang Chao's boasting, although they did not get sufficient information, but they were able to make a specific analysis, if Huang Chao really led an army of 500,000, How could it be possible to leave Lingnan in a hurry, not to mention how much grain, grass and supplies the 500,000 army needed, and where did Huang Chao raise so much grain and grass.

After the scouts' painstaking reconnaissance, Liu Jurong and Cao Quanyang made a judgment that the total number of troops led by Huang Chao would not exceed 200,000, to be precise, it should be about 150,000, and among the troops, many of them were newly joined peasants, and the number of people was okay, and the combat effectiveness was almost none, and the real elite soldiers were by no means more than 50,000.

After making such a judgment, the confidence of the two increased greatly, but they would not report these analyses to Wang Duo, which would sweep Wang Duo's face, as for Wang Duo to mobilize the army of Shannan West Road to come to reinforcements, that is a good thing, the more troops, the more guaranteed victory.

Just when the two were discussing how to fight and where to choose, the 15,000 soldiers led by Lu Yanhong rushed to Xiangyang after more than ten days of trekking.

Wang Duo praised Lu Yanhong for taking care of the overall situation, saying that he would definitely report to the imperial court, in this process, the careful Liu Jurong appeared, Lu Yanhong's expression has always been bad, and even when Wang Duo asked for unified command and put forward the plan of unified command of the battle by Shannan Dongdao, Lu Yanhong was also absent-minded and did not clearly express his opposition.

Liu Jurong muttered a little, to say that Lu Yanhong is unwilling to send a large army to reinforcements, this is normal, now in these years, who does not want to preserve the living force, unless it is a battle that can guarantee victory, people will come to reinforcements in a hurry, when they are really in danger, they are all hiding far away, and it sounds good, which is called icing on the cake, and it is not good to say, this is to fight for credit. However, Lu Yanhong has already led the army to Xiangyang, so there is no idea that he is unwilling to fight, otherwise there are many ways to deal with it, including delaying the march, finding many reasons to prevaricate, and so on.

When eating and drinking together, Liu Jurong asked Lu Yanhong in private, after all, there was some friendship between them, but Lu Yanhong was hesitant and said that he was not feeling well and was unwilling to say anything.

Lu Yanhong had already learned the news of the fiasco in the battle in Wuling County, he had thought about leading the army back to encircle and suppress the Iron Blood Army, but in the end he still led the army to Xiangyang, because in the follow-up letter, it was said that the Iron Blood Army only occupied Wuling County and Qingyuan County, and had no intention of expansion, let alone attack Bazhou and Liangzhou, coupled with the special shape shì, so that he could not lead the army back.

The matter of the iron-blooded army resting in the mountain to the rebellion, the court did not know, and Lu Yanhong did not plan to report it, which was regarded as a family matter, and the letter he wrote to Wang Duo did not explain the specific situation, but only asked to recruit sergeants on the grounds that there were quite strong bandits in Shannan West Road, which was also a decision he made after careful consideration.

If he recruits sergeants and strengthens his strength on the one hand, and says that the bandits are getting worse and worse and cannot be exterminated, wouldn't it cause an uproar in the court, and someone will definitely impeach him Lu Yanhong, without thinking about suppressing bandits, the purpose is to recruit sergeants and expand his strength, and even someone may impeach him for wanting to increase his strength and divide the territory.

Plant melons and get melons, plant beans and get beans, and the bitter fruit can only be swallowed by yourself.

Under such circumstances, where would Lu Yanhong still consider the matter of Huang Chao's attack on Xiangyang.

Liu Jurong is very smart, and when he saw Lu Yanhong's situation, he immediately reported to Wang Duo, saying that Lu Yanhong had traveled a long distance and was very hard, and the guide was unwell, so he didn't want to participate in the battle in person, and the sergeants under his command could participate in the battle.

Lu Yanhong knocked out his teeth again and swallowed it in his stomach.

The location of the decisive battle was chosen in Jingmen.

Liu Jurong and Cao Quanyang carefully arranged, took into account all the details, and devoted themselves to this life-and-death battle, and the two commanded more than 55,000 soldiers to open a huge battlefield in Jingmen, just waiting for Huang Chao to come.

Huang Chao led the army to take Tanzhou and Jiangling, the morale of the army was high, a little preparation, and swooped down on Jingmen, everyone thought that the officers and troops of Xiangyang must be frightened, where there was still the heart to fight, it was too late to escape, but unfortunately Huang Chao did not expect that after taking Guangzhou, all the way through Guizhou, Tanzhou and Jiangling and other places, there was no decent fight at all, people could not always be so smooth, otherwise the Tang Dynasty would have been taken by Huang Chao a long time ago.

The one-sided fight unfolded in Jingmen.

Liu Jurong and Cao Quanhui accurately grasped Huang Chao's thoughts, and adopted the tactics of deceitful defeat and ambush, they set up an ambush circle outside Jingmen City, and sent sergeants to the river to meet Huang Chao's army, pretending to be vulnerable, and the whole line was defeated as soon as they came into contact with the battle, desperately fleeing in the direction of Jingmen City.

After Huang Chao's army entered the ambush circle, he understood what the real arrow rain and bow and crossbow were, and the sergeants who were caught off guard suffered heavy casualties.

The fight all the way to the riverside.

The 150,000 army led by Huang Chao was defeated and retreated to the river, when he got on the boat, there were less than 50,000 people left, and more than 100,000 soldiers were exterminated.

When the Huangchao army was preparing to cross the river, Cao Quanyang was unwilling to give up the opportunity, and was ready to lead the army to continue the attack, striving to completely wipe out the Huangchao's army and eliminate the hidden dangers of the imperial court.

Liu Jurong came out from his own point of view, dissuading Cao Quanyang, Huang Chao has been defeated, and it is almost impossible to grow in a short period of time, if the two work together to completely exterminate Huang Chao, this huge merit may not bring good luck, on the contrary, it may encounter the calculations of the imperial court, Wang Duo, Gao Biao and other bigwigs, have not been able to completely exterminate Huang Chao, there is only Wang Duo's failure in front, for today's plan, is to let Huang Chao escape to Jiangnan Road, anyway, in the future, it is also a simple matter to think about cleaning up Huang Chao.

History is so cruel, Cao Quanyang listened to Liu Jurong's admonition and gave up the opportunity to pursue the victory to win, but unfortunately he later wanted to exterminate the Yellow Nest, but he had no chance at all, and he himself was killed in the battle against the Yellow Nest army, which has to be said to be a historical joke.

The battle was a huge victory, and the good news was quickly played by the imperial court, and Liu Jurong, Cao Quanyang and Lu Yanhong were waiting for the court's commendation or promotion.

At this time, Lu Yanhong couldn't wait for the imperial court's decree and insisted on returning to Liangzhou quickly.

Until he led the army to leave Xiangyang, Lu Yanhong never said anything about the Iron Army, but this does not mean that Liu Jurong could not guess.

In December, the imperial decree came, Cao Quanyang was transferred to the capital, and served as the right attendant of the military department, Liu Jurong and Lu Yanhong were not adjusted for the time being, but Liu Jurong was crowned with Pingzhang, which was equivalent to the prime minister, Wang Duo was transferred back to the capital because of the failure of the battle between Tanzhou and Jiangling, and was removed from the position of prime minister, and was reappointed as the prince's guest.
