Gao Chibang and Huang Biao made up their minds, and when they set off with an army of 20,000, they made a detailed plan, and the dark line of Jiangnan Province had already marked the place where Huang Chao was located.

Huang Chao's army has always been active in the Hongzhou, Yuezhou and Raozhou areas of Jiangnan West Road, this place is relatively wealthy, but compared with Suzhou, which belongs to Jiangnan East Road, there is still some gap, it may be that Huang Chao considered that the repercussions caused by the attack on Suzhou were too great, so it has not been developed in the direction of Suzhou.

This is a very strange tactical idea, according to the ideas of Gao Chibang and others, Huang Chao should be moving towards the Lingnan Road area, and even occupy Guangzhou again, the Lingnan Road area is relatively poor, and it is also a very desolate place, Huang Chao's army can be well concealed in these places, even if the iron-blooded army comes to attack, Huang Chao can also rely on the terrain to maneuver around, and preserve its own strength to the greatest extent.

But then Li Rupei broke through this layer.

Huang Chao is familiar with Lingnan Road and knows the poverty of Lingnan Road, so he will not go to Lingnan Road easily, after all, the sergeants under his command do not always want to endure hardships, if he lives a poor life, then what is the attraction of his Huang Chao, and Huang Chao has been stationed in Huainan Road for a period of time, the conditions are still good, and the sergeants under his command have also enjoyed it in these places, because of the attack of the Iron and Blood Army, they will immediately withdraw to Lingnan Road, and Huang Chao may not be able to stabilize all the sergeants.

Under such circumstances, it is natural for Huang Chaoxuan to be active in Hongzhou, Yuezhou and Raozhou.

Of course, Huang Chao's approach has changed, not thinking about continuing to consolidate a place, but operating in the area between Hongzhou and Suzhou, constantly plundering wealth, the government of these places, all day long, in a state of fear, for fear that the state city will be taken by Huang Chao, and it is in this situation. The Yellow Nest plundered everywhere and harvested a lot.

After Li Rupei commanded Shannan West Road and Shannan East Road, because of the rest with the people, it attracted a lot of people, and under word of mouth, many people went to these places, and Jiangnan Province, which was still quite prosperous, saw that it was dilapidated.

The government had to pay taxes to maintain it. The people could not bear the exploitation of the government, so they chose to leave in desperation, so it was difficult for the government to maintain.

This situation has led to Huang Chao being able to recuperate well in Gangnam Province.

After mastering a lot of information, Gao Chibang and Huang Biao carefully studied and made a decision, the two each led an army of 10,000, and Gao Chibang attacked from the front, that is, directly to Hongzhou, Yuezhou and Raozhou. In a face-to-face fight with Huang Chao, Huang Biao went towards Qianzhou, which was close to Lingnan Road, and the two armies attacked from the north and south, blocking Huang Chao's retreat route.

In this way, the two armies of Gao Chibang and Huang Biao formed an encirclement. In this way, Huang Chao can be blocked in Jiangnan Road and prevent Huang Chao from escaping in the direction of Lingnan Road.

This time, Gao Chibang made up his mind that he must completely exterminate Huangchao, and he didn't want to fight for too long.

Needless to say, Huang Biao is even more so. Huang Chao has long been a defeated general under the Iron Army, if he can't completely defeat and exterminate Huang Chao this time, let Huang Chao continue to flow. Not to mention that Li Rupei's deployment will suffer difficulties, and the Iron and Blood Army will not be able to bear such a reputation.

The coach has the determination to break the boat, not to mention the soldiers below, originally during the Spring Festival, the soldiers were a little uncomfortable in their hearts, but this kind of resentment was vented to Huang Chao's body, if it wasn't for Huang Chao's chaos in Jiangnan Road, if it wasn't for the unstable situation in the south, the iron-blooded army would not have to conquer during the Spring Festival.

Needless to say, the morale of the army was as strong as that of an army of 100,000, although it was only 20,000 men.

After the army entered Jiangnan Province, Li Rupei sent a letter and tactfully warned Gao Chibang and Huang Biao.

What Li Rupei is worried about is the extraordinary morale of the Iron Army, after all, there are only 20,000 troops participating in the conquest of Huang Chao this time, but under the command of Huang Chao, 100,000 troops have been gathered again, 20,000 against 100,000, although the Iron Blood Army is well-equipped, all of them are cavalry, but the disparity in numbers is huge, in this case, the battle must be precisely deployed, every step must be taken into account, and the opponent must not be underestimated. That would have an unpredictable outcome.

Another point is that the news has leaked out, Huang Chao should know that the Iron Blood Army has entered Jiangnan Province in a big way, and Huang Chao, who knows the news, will definitely make relevant preparations and will never wait for the Iron Blood Army to attack.

Huang Chao did know the news, although it was not very accurate, because he didn't know how many soldiers of the Iron Blood Army had entered Jiangnan Province, and he didn't know what the purpose of the Iron Blood Army was this time, whether he wanted to drive him out of Jiangnan Province or think about starting a decisive battle in Jiangnan Province.

Yellow Nest has a hard time making decisions.

There are no very good generals under his command.

Shang Rang, Zhao Zhang, Huang Kuo and Zhu Wen, who were once known as the Four King Kongs, can be said to have all been disintegrated by the Iron and Blood Army, and Zhu Wen has become a general under Li Rupei, and now he is the general of the Iron Army.

After the fall of the Four King Kongs, Huang Chao once wanted to find outstanding generals, but unfortunately this matter was not so easy, thinking that when Huang Chao was in the limelight, the generals under his command gathered, including Bi Shiduo, Qin Yan and Li Hanzhi and others, all of them were very good, but since they met the Iron Blood Army, all the former glory is gone, the battle of Luoyang was defeated, and there has been no chance of recovery since then, and they have been struggling in panic.

The reason why Huang Chao did not go to Lingnan Road was also because the conditions there were too difficult.

After the army entered Lingnan Road, it may not be able to adapt, after all, no one wants to go to a place where the conditions are difficult.

The biggest blow to Huangchao is the stability of Shannan East Road and Shannan West Road, since the Iron Blood Army controlled these places, the people were able to settle down, and no one thought about rebellion, Huang Chao rebelled at the beginning, because many people could not survive anymore, and became homeless, in order to be able to survive, he was forced to join the command of Huang Chao, so that he could be defeated and fought repeatedly, and he could continue to grow and develop, but now the situation has changed a little, and his army does not dare to enter Shannan West Road and Shannan East Road, The people of these places rejected him, and many people began to flee to Shannan East and Shannan West Provinces, and the first choice of the displaced people was not to join his Huangchao, but to Liangzhou and Xiangyang.

This is a huge blow to Huang Chao, and it is also something that shakes his fundamentals.

The situation in Jiangnan Province is far inferior to that of Xiangyang and Liangzhou, and even inferior to Huainan Province, and it is precisely because of the poverty of the common people that Huangchao can temporarily gain a foothold in these places.

Huang Chao has always believed that after Li Rupei gained a foothold in Xiangyang and Liangzhou, he should have developed towards the north, and later the Iron Blood Army entered Huainan Road, Huang Chao still thought that after the Iron Blood Army occupied Huainan Road, it would attack the north, after all, the situation in the south was very bad, far less rich than the north, and Li Rupei's identity was not ordinary, maybe he wanted to occupy the capital Chang'an and the eastern capital Luoyang, so as to finally claim the emperor.

Therefore, Huang Chao is still relatively relieved in Jiangnan Province, thinking that the Iron Blood Army will not enter Jiangnan Province.

But the reality of the situation made him at a loss, he and his advisers specially discussed, some people think that Li Rupei entered Jiangnan Province, just for show, and will not make a big move, and some people think that the Iron Blood Army may be thinking about occupying Jiangnan Road, so that the territory will be larger, and some people think that the Iron Blood Army entered Jiangnan Province purely to show its power, and the intention is not on the body of the Huangchao army.

There are many opinions, and it is difficult for Huang Chao to make a decision, I don't know what the iron-blooded army means, and the news of the iron-blooded army's attack on Yangzhou has already spread to Jiangnan Province, which makes Huangchao even more confused, is Li Rupei ready to attack on two fronts, this is a taboo for soldiers, how many troops can the iron-blooded army have, and there are 100,000 troops stationed in Yangzhou, which is not a small number, is it possible that the iron-blooded army has such a heroic spirit and can ensure the total annihilation of Yangzhou's 100,000 army.

Huang Chao really wanted to find out the situation in Yangzhou, but unfortunately his team was too mobile, and it was not very possible to completely figure out the situation in Yangzhou.

It was between these hesitations that Huang Chao did not make a final decision, but in his heart, Huang Chao was still ready, that is, after encountering the Iron and Blood Army, he immediately retreated in the direction of Lingnan Road, once he entered the mountains of Lingnan, Huang Chao would not be afraid, and at that time, the strong Iron Blood Army was helpless.

When the iron-blooded army entered Jiangnan Province, Huang Chao made a decision, or in Hongzhou, Yuezhou and Raozhou and other places to loot, this time is the first month, the common people have some food stored in their homes, and they are all at home for the New Year, looting can get a lot of grain and grass.

This time Huang Chao was not polite, he ordered the sergeants to attack everywhere, as for whether the people can survive, it is not something he needs to care about, the people who can't survive just join his army.

Huangchao's move made the people of Hongzhou, Yuezhou and Raozhou fall into dire straits, and many people began to flee their homes, fleeing their homes in the first month, and it was very miserable under the freezing conditions.

Huang Chao didn't want to do this, there were some rebellious armies in Jiangnan Province, bandits were looting everywhere, and the government didn't care about the people, they couldn't take care of it, Huang Chao's looting this time was equivalent to the last straw that crushed the people, and the rabbit was in a hurry to bite.

In Hongzhou, Yuezhou, Raozhou and other places, there were some small groups of displaced people, these displaced people specially dealt with the plundering army sent by Huang Chao, they were very mobile, familiar with the local terrain, so that Huang Chao suffered a lot.

Of course, Huang Chao would not take these people who had been put together temporarily, and he couldn't have imagined that these small groups of homeless people later helped the Iron Blood Army and put him in a desperate situation. (To be continued......)
