Cui Hong led his army to arrive in time. In order to chase the emperor, he also abandoned some of the troops and only led 4,000 elite troops to advance at full speed, and finally caught up with the Battle of Ao Cang.

It was already afternoon. Since Chai Yue led his army to join the war, the two sides had fought for more than three hours. The Chu army received two reinforcements, and finally surpassed the rebels and the Blackheads in terms of number.

Shangguan Sheng's army was at the end of his strength, and with the chaos behind him, he saw the newly arrived Chu army's flag, and the extremely tired thief army felt hopeless. First, the Blackheaded Army, then the Suwei rebels, turned around and fled.

Chai Yue also saw the reinforcements, and had no time to discuss with the emperor, so he quickly ordered the soldiers under his command not to pursue them, but to leave a passage for Cui Hong's army, and the later generations chased and died to the north.

After a long period of rapid marching and fighting, the Chu army was more tired than the rebels and had no spare energy to pursue.

Han Ruzi understood Chai Yue's intention and immediately sent someone to send an order to Cui Hong, telling him not to stop and to move his troops forward directly, and be sure to completely defeat Shangguan Sheng's rebels.

The new Chu army passed by in groups, and they also experienced a sudden marching, but for both sides of the war, they were the new forces.

Four thousand reinforcements were put into the battlefield. Cui Hong brought many generals, guards, officials, eunuchs and consultants to visit the emperor. The people behind were not from the army and tried hard to follow the team. They suffered a lot along the way. As soon as they saw the emperor, they knew that the trip was over, several people fell off the horse. The others were helped off the horse by the soldiers, but their feet were unstable and they knelt down from a distance.

Han Ruzi felt guilty, but she had no time to pay attention to the etiquette of the monarch and ministers. She greeted Cui Hong and said, "Shangguan Sheng is outside Aocang City. Others can be let go, and the main evil must not be tolerated."

"Please don't worry, I have already ordered the need to capture Shangguan Sheng." Seeing that the emperor seemed not very relieved, Cui Hong said a few words briefly, leading the generals to the battlefield and personally directed the pursuit.

Han Ruzi felt a little relieved, and then said to the civil officials and eunuchs who had kneeled all over the ground: "You all have a fair body, no need to be polite."

Liu Jie, Zhang Youcai and Niuqiu did not come with him. They stayed in the rear army according to the emperor's orders and monitored the Tan family who were traveling with him.

After a few greetings with the civil officials, Han Ruzi returned to the group of soldiers and arranged the post-war affairs with Chai Yue.

This was a tragic battle, with many casualties on both sides, and even the most elite South and North Army basically lost its combat effectiveness.

Chai Yue suggested camping on the spot and making plans after resting for a day or two, and by the way, it could also protect Ao Cang.

Cui Hong's army is sweeping the battlefield. Because it failed to form an encirclement, there were many rebels and the Blackheaded Army fled. Four thousand soldiers could not be caught in one place, so they could only choose key targets to pursue them. Especially Shangguan Sheng, the emperor and the general Cui Hong have ordered that it would be an amazing contribution to who could capture the leader of the rebels.

Nearly an hour later, there were no living rebels or blackheaded troops on the battlefield. The Chu army could camp with peace of mind. Some moved into the city and some set up tents outside the city. Everything was provided by Ao Cang City.

Han Ruzi summoned the guard general Ao Cang.

Although Ao Cang was important, the guard was just a seventh-rank small official. Qiao Wanfu served for many years without any merits and failures. He was attracted by the emperor in a battle.

The time to go out of the city to attack the rebels was very appropriate. Qiao Wanfu could be regarded as brave and resourceful, and Chai Yue also believed that this person was quite talented.

When he was summoned, Han Ruzi was a little disappointed. Qiao Wanfu's name was generous, but he was a middle-aged man with a short figure and a poor appearance. He was in his forties and did not look like a soldier, but rather a slight official who was mingling in the officialdom.

But when people came, they could not be without expression. Han Ruzi praised him in a few words in general and handed Qiao Wanfu to Chai Yue, but he had already concluded in his heart that Ao Cangjun's time was probably an accident.

As the evening approached, Shangguan Sheng was still not arrested, Cui Hong was still planning to pursue him. Han Ruzi was extremely tired and finally went to the city to rest. He wanted to take a nap, but he fell asleep as soon as he was touched by the pillow. The internal function of the practice allowed him to persist for a longer time, but it could not really replace sleep. He had to make up for it.

When he opened his eyes again, it was still dawn outside. Han Ruzi thought he had only slept for a while, but then suddenly woke up. It was early morning and he slept for the whole night.

Han Ruzi sat up and felt soreness in her waist and back. She felt nothing in her body. She couldn't help but hum a few times. The eunuch's question came from outside: "Have you got up?"

Han Ruzi nodded, and two eunuchs pushed the door and came in, one helped to wash and the other served to dress.

Only then did Han Ruzi have the opportunity to observe his residence. The room was not big, the decoration was not gorgeous, the tables and chairs were very old, but they were extremely clean. Logically speaking, this should be the best room in Ao Cang City. Han Ruzi speculated from this that Qiao Wanfu was probably a poor official, and even if he had no other skills, he should be promoted one or two levels.

While eating, Han Ruzi ordered people to summon the generals.

King Donghai lived next door and came to eat with the emperor. He looked tired and didn't sleep enough. He looked at the emperor from time to time. When the eunuch was not around, he whispered: "It's good to be an emperor. In the past, he used to rely on robbery and robbery to make plans. Now there is no need to say anything, but a group of people are trying to force themselves. "

He was also jealous of his uncle Cui Hong's timely arrival.

Han Ruzi laughed a few times. If it was the first time he was elected as emperor, Cui Hong and others would definitely be symbols of loyalty in his eyes. But now he can see it very thoroughly. These behaviors are also the "habits" of the court. The power he really uses for him is Chai Yue and a few others.

The yamen in Aocangcheng was very shabby. The lobby was just an ordinary house, and even the emperor's Yiwei could not accommodate him. Han Ruzi simply ordered someone to move the chair out, facing his back to the lobby, gathering civil and military ministers in the courtyard, guards and eunuchs guarded behind him, and the guards stood outside the gate, and the flags fluttered, almost covering the entire courtyard. The emperor's aura suddenly arose, and no one would doubt his identity anymore.

The accompanying civil officials and military generals lined up to enter, kowtowed on the ground, and said in unison: "I'm going to kowtow, I'm going to force me."

Han Ruzi was surprised that none of this was arranged by him. The only decision he made was to move the chair out of the lobby. The whole ceremony was ready-made, especially the uniformity of the ministers, which was likely to have been practiced in advance.

Officials from the Ministry of Rites followed, probably their credit.

But this is not what Han Ruzi wants now. Although the entire court ceremony was short, it took nearly two quarters of an hour before the generals had a chance.

Cui Hong has the highest position, so he is naturally the first to speak.

The rebels of Suwei were completely disbanded, and Shangguan Sheng had not yet captured it, but a team of Chu troops had found his trace and had been pursuing him, and could bring him back at any time.

The Chu army captured many prisoners and interrogated them overnight. Finally, they found out the origin of the Blackheads. They were bandits, the main force came from Yunmengze. They gathered more than a dozen mountain villages to form the Blackheads. They began to sneak into the mountains outside Luoyang City in batches a month ago. Three days ago, they decided to attack Ao Cang with the rebels of Suwei.

The big leader of the Blackhead Army is named Luan Banxiong, who calls himself a "Heavenly God General". He is well-known in the Yunmengze area, but this time he did not come in person. He sent a "saint military advisor" with unknown real name. He left two days ago and handed over all the Blackhead Army to Shangguan Sheng.

King Donghai stood beside the emperor and heard the three words "Saint Military Advisor". The two looked at each other and thought of the qi-seeker.

What made Han Ruzi even more angry was that the Blackheaded Army sneaked north from Yunmengze a month ago. She was prepared and was waiting for the opportunity to stir up trouble during the chaos in the capital.

Yang Feng may have overestimated the power of the qi-seeker, but he saw one thing very accurately. There was indeed a force that was secretly stirring up the wind and waves. For them, the more chaotic the Great Chu, the better.

There was also a news that made the emperor and the ministers uneasy. King Ying did not stay with Shangguan Sheng and disappeared with the Holy Military Advisor, like a hostage used to exchange for Blackheaded Army.

The King of England himself is not afraid of it, but it is likely to cause big trouble if he falls into the hands of the warlock.

The Chu army continued to stay in Aocang City for repair.

That afternoon, Chai Yue asked to meet the emperor and solemnly recommended Qiao Wanfu, "This man was not from a military rank. He studied literature in his early years and joined the army. He has been serving as a civil servant in the army. He was transferred to Ao Cangling five years ago. Whenever a grain ship arrived, he would invite people to deliver food. He would discuss the situation in Guandong in detail. He could be said to be very familiar with Luoyang, especially Qi.

Han Ruzi summoned Qiao Wanfu for the second time, but this time he only heard and said nothing.

Qiao Wanfu was a little nervous in front of the emperor, and did not dare to look up. He spoke a little stuttering and his words were a bit long-winded. He introduced the situation in various places in Guandong in detail, and finally concluded that the rebellion of the King of Qi was inevitable. Sooner or later, although Shangguan Sheng failed to lead his troops to the East China Kingdom, no matter whether he was alive or dead, there was still chaos in the eastern border of the Great Chu.

The conclusion was sensational, but Han Ruzi didn't understand the reason. After asking a few questions, he sent Qiao Wanfu away. Chai Yue kept listening and then stepped forward to apologize: "Qiao Wanfu is too nervous and didn't explain it clearly. I'll talk to him later."

Han Ruzi smiled and said, "No hurry. In short, I will send King Donghai to the middle school and take Qiao Wanfu with me. I will stay for a while and go to Qi by the way. I want to see why there will be chaos in the east of the Great Chu."

When Chai Yue retreated, he had to arrange an official position for Qiao Wanfu.

In the evening, the Chu army, who were pursuing defeated soldiers, returned one after another, and one of them brought back Shangguan Sheng's head.

Shangguan Sheng refused to surrender and led dozens of guards to fight against the enemy. He was shot by a Chu general, and another Chu general cut off his head. The two made their first contributions.

Han Ruzi personally checked the head and confirmed it correctly, feeling a little regretful.

Soon, another team of Chu troops returned to the city and captured a famous prisoner. Han Ruzi immediately ordered that the person be brought and he would interrogate him personally.

The qi-seeker Lin Kunshan followed Shangguan Sheng all the time, but he separated when he fled. He entered the nearby mountains with a group of black-headed troops, but lost his way and ran into the Chu army, and all arrested.
