San Yisheng knew that the matter was troublesome after he failed to persuade him to surrender, so he hurried towards Xiqi.
After San Yisheng arrived in Xiqi, he ran into Jichanghou's mansion without resting and reported to Jichang how he went to persuade Su Hu to surrender. Ji Chang was shocked when he heard this. He didn't expect Su Hu to be so tough. He didn't know what Su Hu relied on, but he was not afraid of the crusade of the princes.
But in this way, he was in danger. He did not send troops to attack Jizhou, thinking that Su Hu would listen to his advice and send his daughter to Chaoge to plead guilty. Now that Chonghou Hu was defeated and he had not sent any troops, he immediately put himself in the limelight. If Chonghou Hu joined him again, he would...
Thinking of this, he sent someone to summon General Nangong Shi to prepare to send troops to Jizhou.
At this time, the memorial to Chonghou Hu had arrived. Chaoge Emperor Xin was furious after receiving the memorial from Chonghou Hu. The first one was angry, Su Hu didn't know what to do; the second one was angry, Ji Changyang followed Yin to disobey. The three wraths are caused by Chonghou Hu's failure to live up to expectations.
Fortunately, Chonghou Hu gave Fei Zhong and You Hun a generous gift when delivering the memorial. Fei and You interceded, so Chonghou Hu was spared from punishment. However, he was still fined half a year's salary, and allowed him to lead his troops to another expedition to perform meritorious service.
Emperor Xin thundered loudly in the court, and then immediately ordered the army led by Wucheng King Huang Feihu to meet with Chonghou Hu, and then ordered Ji Chang to lead troops to assist in the battle.
Although Huang Feihu was unwilling but could not disobey the military order, he had to gather Chaoge's 50,000 troops and march to Jizhou. At the same time, he sent military orders to Chonghou Hu and Ji Chang to reach Jizhou within a time limit.
At this time, Ji Chang's army was on its way to Jizhou. First, it received a reprimand and then a military order from Huang Feihu, so he led the army to rush to Jizhou non-stop because he knew that although Huang Feihu had a good impression of him, Huang Feihu was very strict in managing the army. Not like Chonghou Hu.
If I arrive late, the executioner may be waiting for me. The same goes for Chonghou Hu, who was ready to go out after receiving Emperor Xin's order to send troops to serve his crimes. Although his 50,000-strong army was not spared when he attacked Jizhou last time, he suffered a lot of losses, but he still managed to make up for it. Thirty thousand troops were sent out and marched towards Jizhou.
By the time he arrived outside Jizhou City, Wucheng King Huang Feihu and Xibohou Jichang had already arrived, and the camp was in a mess with injuries everywhere.
It turned out that Huang Feihu rushed to Jizhou day and night after receiving Emperor Xin's order. After arriving at the gate of Jizhou City, he set up camp and waited for reinforcements from Ji Chang and Chonghou Hu.
Because Huang Feihu knew that Jizhou could defeat the combined 80,000 troops of brothers Chonghouhu and Chongheihu, it was naturally not that easy to deal with. Now what he had to do was wait for the two reinforcements to arrive and then discuss how to break through Jizhou City.
But he didn't know that there were strangers like Gao Ming and Gao Jue in Jizhou City who had the magical power of clairvoyance. Therefore, Jizhou also attacked the camp at night. Fortunately, Chaoge's army was much stronger than the armies of other princes. Huang Feihu was not comparable to Chonghou Hu. In addition, Xiqi's army arrived on time, although it failed to deal a blow to Jizhou's army. But it still made the Jizhou Army have some scruples to withdraw their troops and return to the city early.
This prevented Huang Feihu from being defeated on the first day he came to Jizhou.
Chong Houhu couldn't help but be surprised when he saw the camp full of chaos. He had been obeying orders from Huang Feihu's tent during the expedition against Dongyi. He was very aware of Huang Feihu's ability, but he didn't expect that even Huang Feihu would be successfully robbed.
But then I thought that even Huang Feihu worshiped under Jizhou City, and it was understandable that he failed. Then the guilt of his own failure becomes lighter. I couldn't help but feel a little happy again.
Chonghou Hu came to the gate, ordered his generals to camp on the right and went into his tent to meet King Wucheng Huang Feihu. After Chong Heihu entered the tent, he clasped his fists and said: "Don't let Chonghou Hu pay homage to the general." It turned out that Huang Feihu once said: "In the army, there are no princes and no princes, only generals and generals." Chonghou Hu once served under Huang Feihu's tent. Ting Ling also knew about this matter. Therefore, after Chonghou Hu entered the tent, he called Huang Feihu the commander-in-chief instead of the prince.
Huang Feihu looked at Chonghou Hu and said, "You come and sit down."
After Chong Houhu sat down, Huang Feihu asked: "General Chong, can you tell me why you failed in the last battle?"
Chonghou Hu clasped his fists and said: "Commander Mo will come to Jizhou City last time..." He explained what happened last time in this way.
After listening to this, Huang Feihu pondered for a moment and said: "The first time the camp was hijacked, it was normal, but the second time it was hijacked, it was abnormal. Could it be that Jizhou has spies in your army? But it's impossible! Then it can only be in Jizhou City. I'm afraid we won't be able to break into Jizhou City if someone else helps us!"
Just then, I heard a spy running in from outside the camp gate and saying, "Commander, the Jizhou army is calling for battle outside the camp gate."
After hearing this, Huang Feihu stood up and said, "All the generals will follow me to the battle to meet the generals of Jizhou." After saying that, he led Ji Chang, Chonghou Hu, and his generals to the gate of the camp.
When he arrived in front of the two armies' formation, Huang Feihu looked up and saw more than ten generals standing behind Jizhou Hou Suhu in the Jizhou army formation. The two most eye-catching ones were standing on the left and right of Su Hu.
The general on the right is wearing a silver helmet and plain armor, and his tassels are red. A wolf-toothed arrow is stuck on the left, and a sword tip hangs on the right. The cross arm is an iron rod and the white horse is walking like a god. It was none other than Yuan Hong, one of the Seven Sages of Meishan.
I saw a person on the left with a face like a purple jujube and a beard like a golden needle, wearing a nine-cloud blazing crown, a big red robe, gold mail, armor, and a jade belt, riding a beast with flaming eyes and golden eyes, and two demon-conquering pestles. It was General Zheng Lun of Jizhou.
Huang Feihu looked at the two generals and thought: "The one riding the strange beast must be Zheng Lun. Chonghou Huyan said that he has strange skills, and he can make people fall off their horses with a hum. Please pay attention to the fight later. But the man on the right did not mention it; I heard Chonghou Hu mention it, but seeing that he is above Zheng Lun, he must be the mastermind of these two robberies; this should not be underestimated."
Thinking of this, Huang Feihu stepped forward and urged his five-colored sacred cows to come to the formation of the two armies and said: "Please ask the Marquis of Jizhou to come forward and answer."
Su Hu was about to step forward. Zheng Lun stopped him and said, "Please don't step forward. I'm afraid there may be some fraud involved!"
Su Hu said: "Huang Feihu has always been upright and aboveboard, but he didn't even bother to use such methods." After saying that, he clapped his horse and stepped forward. When he arrived at the battle, Su Hu cupped his fists at Huang Feihu and said, "Su Hu has seen King Wu Cheng, you and I are fighting. Su Hu apologizes for the inconvenience of saluting King Wu Cheng."
Huang Feihu also clasped his fists and said: "Your Majesty Feihu really doesn't want to fight with you, but the emperor has ordered Feihu to come. If there is any offense, please forgive me. There are some things Feihu doesn't know whether to say to the emperor or not..." "
Su Hu didn't wait for Huang Feihu to finish and said, "If King Wu Cheng wants to persuade Hu to surrender, there is no need to say more."
