"The king, the old minister thinks that what the two of them say is reasonable, the key to whether to move the capital or not is whether Yue and Lang can block the Qingzhou army from going south, if it can be blocked, there is no need to move the capital, if it can't be stopped, the capital must be moved. Therefore, the most important thing at the moment is to step up contact with the two states to get the latest battle report, and then to send reinforcements to the two states to support. Although the Gyeongju army is strong, but Gyeongju is small and sparsely populated, as long as the Chu State can withstand its edge, it can turn the tide of the war with the strength of Great Chu. He also asked the king to send envoys to Shu, Southern Tang and other countries to ask for help, as for the Jin State, Chu State and Nanping were in the same Jin State, and the King could send an envoy to ask the Jin Emperor to mediate. ”

Ma Xifan wanted to move the capital very much, he was afraid, he was very afraid in his heart, he was afraid to death.

But Ma Xifan really didn't want to move the capital, because the wealth of the Chu State was exhausted, and the newly built Tiance Mansion and Huichun Garden were handed over to others, which made Ma Xifan's heart hurt more than killing him.

So, Mahifan spoke.

"What Li Xiang said is very true, so according to what Li Xiang said, arrange it immediately."

The monarchs and ministers of the State of Chu did not know what to do, and when they were discussing how to deal with the southward movement of the Gyeongju army, how to consolidate the city defenses of Yue and Lang, and how to ask for help from various countries, the headquarters of the Black Flag Army had already left the south gate of Yuezhou and was swimming across the Pingjiang River. The Black Flag Army Yu Cunzhong's headquarters had captured Langzhou and marched towards Yiyang, and Wuping Jiedu, who was stationed in Langzhou, made Liu Yanzheng retreat to Yiyang with the remnants of the army. The Yunyang Department of the Black Flag Army has arrived at the predetermined position a hundred miles outside Tanzhou City, camped and lurked and waited. Bailikang's department has left Yutan and sneaked into Xiangxiang.

December 25 of the fourth year of Jin Tianfu.

The governments of various countries have already closed their holidays, and the people are preparing for the New Year.

The state of Chu was caught in the flames of war.

Facing the Gyeongju army moving south.

The state of Chu made the following responses after the military meeting.

Ordered Jingjiang Jiedu to make Ma Xizhan lead the 30,000 Chu troops under his jurisdiction to rescue Tanzhou.

Ordered the old minister Li Tinggui, the former assassin of Yuezhou, to recruit envoys for Yuezhou and lead 20,000 forbidden troops to Yuezhou to support.

Ordered Mingwei general Wang Kui to lead 10,000 forbidden troops to Langzhou to support.

Messengers were sent to various countries to ask for help.

At this time, only 30,000 forbidden troops were left in Tanzhou.

December 27, noon.

On the second day of the departure of the 20,000 forbidden army led by Li Tinggui, Yuezhou recruited Li Tinggui to collide head-on with the Black Flag Army that was crossing the river and heading south.

The scouts of both sides spotted each other at the same time ten miles away, and at the same time rushed back to report to the boss.

The coaches of both sides who received the report made different countermeasures.

After Baili Wuji got the report, he immediately ordered Xiong Jiben to lead 3,000 soldiers as the vanguard, and he led the rest to the Chinese army, without a rear team, and the whole army assaulted.

This is a gamble, and now is the time of the flop, which is called "all or nothing".

There was no mobilization, no preparation, and if it was encountered, it would be a decisive battle.

More than 10,000 Black Flag troops are like wild horses out of the border, surging along the official road like a tide.

After Li Tinggui got the report, the first thing he thought of was that since he encountered the Black Flag Army here, Yuezhou City must have fallen. It is impossible to complete the task of reinforcing Yuezhou by himself, and the 20,000 forbidden troops he brought with him are the foundation of Chu State, and he must bring them back to Tanzhou in their entirety and hand them over to the king.

So, Li Tinggui issued a ridiculous order, and the whole army retreated and returned to Tanzhou.

The 20,000-strong army marched on the official road, and it was a black and oppressive giant snake, stretching for dozens of miles.

There are also convoys of grain, ordnance, and utensils.

How can such a behemoth be withdrawn when it is said to be withdrawn?

Order.

The front army turned and collided head-on with the Chinese army, and the rear army didn't know what was happening on the road, so they .......

And here, the Black Flag Army has begun to speed up more than ten miles away and start an assault towards the Chu army.

Ten miles to say that it is not close, it is not far away, according to the speed of the Black Flag Army's assault, it will not take half an hour.

However, the Chu army had a riot at this time.

From surprise and confusion to riots and then to slowly subsidence, the Chu army wasted the only time it had for layout.

When the Chu army had just calmed down from the riots, the Black Flag Army had already appeared in the field of vision and roared.

At this time, if there was no striker rushing out of the city to temporarily resist the delay time, the outcome would be quite tragic, but Li Tinggui's order was to withdraw and retreat quickly.

As a result, the Chu army fled from dozens, hundreds, and thousands of people.

The generals of the forbidden army had no way to command at all, so they could only join the ranks of the fleeing.

The consequences of this rout were devastating, with a single person hitting someone, a person stepping on someone, a car crashing, and countless people being killed or injured by a car, not to mention the pursuit of the Black Flag Army that was close at hand.

The army of 20,000 disappeared without firing a single arrow.

There is only one word that can be described - "smell the wind and run away".

Li Tinggui is actually very innocent, he is just a civilian official, and he was ordered to lead the army to Yuezhou to support.

The mistake is the mistake, he gave the wrong order at the wrong time, in the wrong place.

I want to cry without tears.

Li Tinggui was already dead.

The tragic situation on the official road made his heart cut like a knife.

Lives that had just been alive turned into dead bodies in a breath, or wailing and wailing for treatment. This kind of misery is like hell on earth. The soldiers of the Black Flag Army who caught up with him held their swords in their hands, harvesting the heads of the Chu army like chopping vegetables, and when they saw Li Tinggui, they glanced at his official uniform, and they didn't bother to look at him a second time before running wildly to continue chasing.

A civil official has never seen such a tragic situation, and the collapse is not unreasonable.

Only a cry of grief was heard.

"Heaven is dead, I am ...... Chu."

Li Tinggui casually pulled a knife in his hand, put it horizontally on his neck, turned his head suddenly, and killed himself.

Yes, the 20,000 troops of the Chu army fled back to Tanzhou City, and only 8,000 people.

No more than 600 people were killed by the Black Flag Army.

More than 5,000 people were injured.

The rest were submerged in the four fields.

A forbidden army of Chu State, known as the elite, collapsed without firing a single arrow.

This battle is known as the "Battle of Pingjiang".

Ironically, there was no one to fight in this battle.

December 28.

Wang Kui, the general of Mingwei who went to Langzhou to support, arrived in Yiyang with 10,000 forbidden troops, and met with Liu Yanbu, the envoy of Wuping Jiedu, who had retreated from Langzhou.

The Black Flag Army, which followed Yu Cunzhong, arrived outside Yiyang City.

After a short rest, the offensive and defensive battle of Yiyang began.

Yu Cunzhong is a steady person, and his combat style is also conservative.

Ever since the Black Flag Army used firearms on the battlefield, he began to secretly speculate on the command of Baili Wuji.

In the campaign to conquer Langzhou, he slowly formed a set of his own operational ideas.

For sieges, it was the first few rounds of artillery fire, followed by a charge of soldiers.

If that fails, a few more rounds of cannon rounds, and then the soldiers charge.

And so on .......

Although there is nothing to remark, the effect is obvious.

Hundreds of cannonballs exploding at the tower at the same time were enough to break the will of the defenders.

And then according to the way of Baili Wuji, the cart is blasted at the city gate, and the probability of being blocked by the defenders of the city tower will be greatly reduced, which is very effective for capturing small and medium-sized cities.

So after only three rounds of volleys of artillery fire, Yiyang City fell.

Liu Yan and Wang Kui in the city retreated again with the Chu army.
