Five days later, the Ning Yuan army, which was closest to Xingwangfu, had arrived at the city of Xingwangfu.

In the past five days, Yun Yang and Baili Yi's troops did their best to stage a good show of attacking the city. The 40,000-strong army exercised no less than 20 sieges under the city of Xingwangfu, but all of them ended in vain.

Every battalion in the army took turns fighting.

This made Liu Yan think that the Black Flag Army was nothing more than that.

As long as the reinforcements of the Jianwu and Ningyuan armies arrive, I will be able to turn defeat into victory and completely drive the Black Flag Army out of the Han Dynasty, and I will lead the army to pursue, capture Shaoguan and Dunzhou. This is what Liu Yan said to the Manchu Dynasty civil and military today.

In the afternoon, the arrival of Ning Yuanjun confirmed Liu Yan's words.

When Wang Dingbao and Ning Yuanjun led by him were warmly welcomed into the Xingwang Mansion from the West Gate.

The war was over.

March 20.

The Southern Han Emperor Liu Yan and his seven sons in Xingwangfu were killed by Wang Dingbao, the envoy of Ningyuan Jiedu, and from then on, the Southern Han Dynasty perished.

The king of Chu, Baili Wuji, had just received a battle report from Yuanzhou today and was shocked.

Baili Wuji was shocked that it was not Ding Sijin who dared to change orders without permission and make his own opinions, but he was shocked that there were such arrogant generals and talents, and they were really indispensable talents for the special operations army.

Baili Wuji naturally wouldn't have thought that this Ding Siji at first just wanted the soldiers under his command not to give their lives under Bailikang, and then wanted to make up for it by occupying Yuanzhou.

Baili Wuji immediately ordered Baili Kang to quickly assemble the Benlei Chamber to help Ding Siji's department.

Tell Bai Likang that if Ding Sijin succeeds in attacking Hongzhou, he will defend Hongzhou and wait for help. If he can't succeed, he will cover Ding Sijing's troops to withdraw to Yuanzhou.

At the same time, he ordered Zhou Xingfeng to lead the forbidden army to rush to Yuanzhou and wait for the news of Bailikang.

Li Yu, I want you to know what it means to steal chickens and rice. Baili Wuji sneered in his heart.

March 21.

Jianwu Jiedu made Pan Chongche lead an army of 20,000 to rush to the outside of Xingwangfu, and Ningyuan Jiedu, who controlled Xingwangfu, made Wang Dingbao welcome him into the city.

March 22.

Jianwu Jiedu made Pan Chongche and Ning Yuan Jiedu make Wang Dingbao open the north gate of the palace to welcome the Yunyang and Baili Yi of Chu to station.

Since then, the Second Chu-Han War has ended.

All the territories of the former Southern Han Dynasty were incorporated into the Chu State.

……。

On this day, Ding Sijing's troops came to the outside of Hongzhou after three days of marching, and with the military uniforms of Yuanzhou's 1,000 Southern Tang troops, they successfully deceived the city gate, and the city gate defenders were quickly controlled by 1,000 forwards. In the night, the successor army entered the city instantly, and the poor five thousand southern troops of Nantang Town who were left behind had just fallen asleep, and they became prisoners in a hazy sleep.

After dawn, the special operations army had taken control of the entire Hongzhou city.

The whole army was extremely excited, and this was a great achievement, and for this group of recruits who had only been training for a month after reorganization, what could be more exciting than establishing such a miraculous feat.

But at this time, the adjutants of the original Black Flag Army began to be secretly alarmed, such a victory seemed brilliant, but Jiangzhou was not as good as Yuanzhou, Yuanzhou was adjacent to Chu, and after it was captured, it could be supplied at any time. Hongzhou is different, deep into the hinterland of the Southern Tang Dynasty, if the Southern Tang Dynasty notices it, it quickly counterattacks and besieges it from all sides, and its lone army will be in danger of being wiped out by the whole army at any time.

Without waiting for the adjutant to remind him, Ding Sijin had already begun to be afraid. He was a veteran, how could he not know the danger of the road, so he quickly sent three cavalry scouts to report in the direction of Yuanzhou and Tanzhou, asking for support. At the same time, he ordered the whole army to be divided into two roads, each with 2,000 people, along the way to the north gate to garrison against the Jiangzhou Fenghua Jiedu envoy in the north, and along the way to the south city gate to resist the Fuzhou Zhaowu Jiedu envoy, he led the rest of the soldiers to sit in the middle of the town.

At this time, the 5,000 Benleixiang cavalry led by Baili Kang had already crossed Yuanzhou and marched towards Hongzhou.

More than 10,000 forbidden troops led by Zhou Xingfeng have arrived in Pingxiang.

……。

March 25.

The king of Chu has no taboo order.

He ordered the First Army to command Yun Yang to mix the Black Flag Army, the First Army, Jianwu, and Ningyuan.

The original Jianwu Army was reorganized into the Fifth Army of the Black Flag Army, and the original Ningyuan Army was reorganized into the Sixth Army of the Black Flag Army.

Ren Yunyang is the defense envoy of Panyu, with jurisdiction over the first army, and is stationed in Xingwangfu.

Ren Pan Chongche was appointed as the Jianwu Defense Envoy, with jurisdiction over the Fifth Army and stationed in Yongzhou.

Ren Wang Dingbao was the defense envoy of Ningyuan, with jurisdiction over the Sixth Army and stationed in Dungeon Prefecture.

He ordered the commander of the Fourth Army to make Bailiyi immediately lead his troops north to Liling to stand by.

……。

When Zhennan Jiedu annihilated the 30,000-strong army, Zhou Zong was captured, and the news of the fall of Yuanzhou reached Jinling Mansion, the government and opposition of the Southern Tang Kingdom were shaken.

In Li Yu's opinion, the 30,000-strong army is just standing still and making people slaughter like dogs, so it can be killed for a few days, how can it be so vulnerable.

But Li Yu has never seen a real scene of defeat like a mountain.

Thirty thousand? Even if 300,000 are scattered, it will only be a matter of hours.

Cavalry. Above the entire southern flatland, it is a king-like existence.

Li Yu quickly issued an order, ordering Prime Minister Zuo to move the Fenghua Jiedu under the command of Song Qiqiu to make the 20,000 Fenghua troops under his jurisdiction go south to Hongzhou, and the Zhaowu Jiedu of Fuzhou made the 20,000 troops under the command of Li Jianxun go north to Hongzhou.

At the same time, he ordered Wuchang Jiedu to make Liu Renzhen lead an army of 30,000 to the west and attack Yuezhou in the southwest.

The news reached Tanzhou.

Baili Wuji summoned Jiangling Sun Shixu with carrier pigeons, and ordered him to lead the reorganized 20,000 Jingnan troops to the east of Yuezhou to fight against the Southern Tang Army. Baili Wuji deliberately added a sentence at the end of the letter, if the resistance is successful, the Jingnan Army will be reorganized into the Seventh Army of the Black Flag Army.

Baili Wuji is not worried about the Second Route Southern Tang Army that is attacking Hongzhou, as long as Bailikang's headquarters successfully arrives in Hongzhou, and the whole army of the special combat army is defended until Zhou Xingfeng arrives at the two forbidden armies, there should be no problem, and after the two armies converge, there will be no problem.

What needs to be worried is that the 30,000 Southern Tang Army attacking Yuezhou made Baili Wuji rest assured, and the commander of the Southern Tang Army, Liu Renzhen, was a famous general in the Southern Tang Dynasty. After thinking about it again, Baili Wuji still asked Liu Yan to lead the forbidden army north to defend Yuezhou.

……。

The Chu-Han War was flat, and the prelude to the Chu-Tang War began.

March 26.

Bai Likang led 5,000 cavalry into Hongzhou City, and immediately took over the command after entering the city. Ding Sijin was ordered to defend the city with all his might, but he took 5,000 cavalry to replenish dry food for three days, and went out of Dongcheng without a trace.

March 26.

Fenghua and Zhaowu two road troops are under the city of Hongzhou.

When Li Yu issued the order for the Second Army of the Southern Tang Dynasty to enter Hongzhou to converge, he did not know that Hongzhou had been lost.

Now the two armies are under the city of Hongzhou, but they can't converge.

Li Jianxun could only send messengers to report on the one hand, and send scouts around the city to contact the Fenghua army on the other hand, in order to reunite in the city, or the two armies cooperate to attack Hongzhou City.

This half-day delay once again caused the Fenghua army in the north to encounter the bloodbath of Bailikang's department.
