From Suizhou into Anzhou, to which Huainan Province belongs, Gao Chibang is ambitious, although he led only 40,000 soldiers of the Iron Army, in the face of the 100,000 troops under the command of Huang Chao, there is too much disadvantage in numbers, but he has fought outside Luoyang City, so that he has full confidence, and the Iron Blood Army is trained under his personal direction, and is trained in strict accordance with the requirements put forward by Li Rupei, the quality of the soldiers is extremely high, and the combat effectiveness is extremely strong, even if it is out of disadvantage, there will be no rout. Almost every soldier fought to the last moment.

has been following Li Rupei for several years, and the more he came later, the more Gao Chibang felt the correctness of his choice, although Li Rupei was very young, but those veteran civil and military ministers in the court, compared with Li Rupei, were nothing at all, let's just say that important ministers like Cui Anqian and Liu Yunzhang also came to Li Rupei's side and served with peace of mind.

Gao Chibang's view of Zhu Wen is also not ordinary, after Zhu Wen came to his command, he showed a restless nature, Li Rupei, who knew all this, didn't care, but promoted Zhu Wen, who made meritorious contributions in the war, and now Zhu Wen, the unruly spirit on his body still exists, but he is extremely honest in front of Li Rupei, people like Zhu Wen are talents, only in front of more powerful people, will they be obedient and obedient, and such a person, once they decide on a thing, they will not come nonsense.

Li Rupei's subordinates cannot be said to be full of talents, but everyone can play their own role, which makes Gao Chibang extremely emotional.

In terms of intimacy, Song Hu and Zhao Laibao helped Li Rupei the most, and the relationship was also extraordinary, but when arranging many important tasks, the two generally couldn't take their turns, after all, the level of the two was limited, and Li Rupei did not ignore the interests of the Iron Blood Army because of his past friendship. But for Zhu Wen, Xie Guoxi, Xie Yuxin, Qin Erhei and others, Li Rupei did not doubt that he did not use suspicious people, gave him heavy responsibilities, and showed unusual courage.

However, Gao Chibang can also feel Li Rupei's anxiety, that is, there are still too few talents around him, after all, many talents are either in the capital, or they are around many feudal towns and festival envoys.

As the number of places occupied by the Predators increases, the issue of talent becomes particularly important.

During the march of the Iron Army, Gao Chibang maintained the same tradition. Going with the soldiers, there is nothing special about it.

The march of the army was very fast, starting from Suizhou, and entering the territory of Anzhou in less than two days.

Boldness is boldness, prudence is still necessary, Gao Chibang sent a large number of scouts to reconnoiter along the road, and the speed of the march also slowed down after entering Anzhou.

Gao Chibang is looking forward to a decisive battle with Huang Chao, but he will not be reckless. In any case, there are 100,000 soldiers under Huang Chao's command, and his strength should not be underestimated, and what is more critical is that. Yangzhou still has an army of 100,000 led by Bi Shiduo, and if it is mixed in at this time, it will still be very troublesome.

It's been three days since I entered Anzhou, and I didn't find the army of Huangchao at all.

Gao Chibang was a little anxious. and Huang Biao continued to discuss, and at the same time ordered the army to temporarily encamp, so that there was no goal to find. The soldiers are tired, and the coach is also anxious.

"General Huang, why can't you always see Huang Chao's army, if it goes on like this, it will be difficult for the 40,000 army to wander around in Anzhou."

Huang Biao was also anxious, he was responsible for sending scouts to investigate, and in the past few days, he reprimanded all the scouts one by one.

"The high school guard, the last general is also in a hurry, the scouts reconnoiter every day, sometimes they go out to the range of a hundred miles, but there is no trace of the Huangchao army at all, can it be said that the Huangchao has withdrawn to Huangzhou and Gwangju, Wang Xu has left Gwangju City, will Huangchao take the opportunity to occupy Gwangju City."

After a moment of thought, Gao Chibang shook his head.

"The army of the Iron and Blood Army has entered Anzhou, Huang Chao must know, it's all this time, what is the role of Huang Chao to occupy the city of Gwangju, if the Iron Blood Army occupies Shenzhou, Anzhou and Chuzhou and other places, how can he curl up in Gwangju and Huangzhou and other places, when the eyebrows are burned, Huang Chao still knows the severity."

Hearing Gao Chibang say this, Huang Biao also shook his head.

The two of them thought of Li Rupei in unison, if Li Rupei was here, he would definitely be able to make an analysis.

Analysis doesn't have much effect, the only thing they can do is to send more scouts to investigate, as for the attack on the city, the Iron Blood Army will not do it for the time being, they can't clear the soldiers under the command of Huang Chao in Anzhou, occupying the city is just to make themselves a target, and there are signs of restlessness, and maintaining law and order in the city also requires energy.

Huang Chao is in Huangzhou at the moment.

He had already gotten the information about the entry of the Iron Blood Army into Shenzhou and Anzhou.

What he didn't expect was that the iron-blooded army actually took the initiative to attack, and it was divided into two ways, directly into Shenzhou and Anzhou, and the people did not wait in Suizhou and Tangzhou, but killed them.

Huang Chao, who has learned the power of the Iron and Blood Army, will not take any action for the time being, and will not take the initiative to fight a decisive battle with the Iron Blood Army, let alone attack Suizhou, at this time, if he still thinks about sneaking up on Suizhou, it is equivalent to looking for death, Li Rupei will definitely make proper arrangements, once the army enters Suizhou, it may not be able to withdraw, and it may be made dumplings by the Iron Blood Army.

Huang Chao is waiting for news from Shenzhou to see if the direction of Shenzhou has caused a heavy blow to the Iron Army.

Huang Chao is in Shenzhou, Anzhou, Chuzhou, Huangzhou, Qizhou and Gwangju, and the mass base is very good, and he can get a certain amount of support, but those gentry and rich households are not very interested in him, and Huang Chao doesn't care about this.

With a good mass foundation, it will be much easier to get things done, and you will be able to get a lot of information, and you will be able to get a lot of support from all localities.

When the intelligence from the direction of Shenzhou arrived, Huang Chao was thinking about whether to send some sergeants to harass the officers and soldiers of the Iron Blood Army stationed in Anzhou, so that they knew that it was powerful, after all, it was not okay to always retreat, either completely abandon the place that had been occupied, or let the Iron Blood Army leave Huainan Road as soon as possible.

In Huang Chao's consciousness, he thought that the Iron and Blood Army would eventually evacuate Huainan Province, after all, there were 100,000 troops under the command of Bi Shiduo stationed in Huainan Province, and these 100,000 troops were also the army of the imperial court.

It's a pity that Huang Chao's analysis this time made a major mistake.

After listening to the information from Shenzhou, Huang Chao finally suppressed his panic, he never imagined that the elite troops left behind in Shenzhou would suffer another crushing defeat, but fortunately, this time the iron-blooded army did not desperately pursue.

Luoyang's fiasco left too much impact on Huang Chao, and in his heart, he was actually afraid of Li Rupei and the Iron Army.

This time, Huang Chao locked himself in the house for a full day.

His time is already very precious, the iron-blooded army of Anzhou, once they find that the situation is not right, will definitely enter Huangzhou, and the iron-blooded army in the direction of Shenzhou, after winning the victory, will also go to Gwangju, there is no doubt about it, really at that time, he Huangchao will face the iron-blooded army attacking in two directions, which is fatal for the sergeants under his command, after all, there are not many elite sergeants left, many of the sergeants are re-recruited after the Battle of Luoyang, and most of them are homeless, There is not much combat power at all.

Huang Chao must make a choice, either leave Huainan Province or face the Iron Army.

At the critical moment, years of experience helped Huang Chao, and he suddenly thought of Yangzhou's 100,000 army.

That is, between the calcium carbide firelight, Huang Chao figured out a lot of things, he stayed in Huainan Road, then he became the target of the two armies and strikes, once he left Huainan Road, if the Iron Blood Army was unwilling to withdraw from Huainan Road, then the contradiction was transferred between the Iron Blood Army and the 100,000 army in Yangzhou.

When it was dark, many sergeants received orders to retreat from Huangzhou in the direction of Qizhou, and there was no detailed order as to where to retreat in the end.

Huang Chao made up his mind, left Huainan Road, left this land of right and wrong, and went to Lingnan, where the mountains are high and the emperor is far away, although the land is a little barren, but he can always live a stable life.

Gao Chibang finally made up his mind, not striding towards the direction of Huangzhou, since Huangchao's army has not been found in Anzhou for so long, it means that Huangchao has been transferred, and the battle report in the direction of Shenzhou has also been sent, Li Rupei led the iron-blooded army soldiers have advanced in the direction of Gwangju.

The movements of the officers and men of the Iron Blood Army were very fast, and once the goal was clear, the whole army began to tell the march, heading in the direction of Hwangju, and the army had no sign of attacking the city at all, and galloped along the official road in the direction of Gwangju.

Two days later, the Iron Army entered Huangzhou.

The information of the scout reconnaissance was also sent, which was sent by the scout who had been sent to Huangzhou to investigate.

After reading the information, Gao Chibang's face turned blue.

Huang Biao on the side also read the information and was also very angry.

"General Huang, tens of thousands of troops entered Huainan Dao, originally thinking that they would teach Huang Chao a good lesson, and they would fight at least a few times, but you see, this Huang Chao actually ran away."

"Huang Chao withdrew in the direction of Qizhou, and the army went to chase after him, maybe it would be too late."

Gao Chibang shook his head slightly.

"Huang Chao must know the battle situation in Shenzhou, and he must have made a decision, Huang Chao is going to run away, and it won't be of much use to catch up at this time."

"Do you want to ask the prince?"

Gao Chibang nodded, I don't know if it's okay.

After the letter was sent, Gao Chibang was particularly depressed, he led 40,000 iron-blooded soldiers, and Li Rupei led only 10,000 iron-blooded soldiers, but because of caution and friction, he lost too many opportunities, on the contrary, Li Rupei's side won a major victory, and the gap in this was immediately manifested.
