Ji Han Grand Commander

Chapter 174 168. Huang Yuan's Defeat
The person who spoke was Yang Hong, an official of the Yizhou government. He was a man of great ability and had been recommended for appointment by the Minister of the Chancellery Li Yan.

"Your Highness, the traitor Huang Yuan is just a minor scourge. He only heard that Your Majesty is seriously ill and that the Prime Minister and the generals are not in Chengdu, so he dared to act so recklessly. This clown can be pacified in a short time with General Zhuo's command of the troops."

Yang Hong bowed and answered slowly.

"This... this, I wonder who can take on this important task?"

Although Liu Chan still looked at a loss, he was obviously more confident because of Yang Hong's advice, so he continued to ask Yang Hong.

"Your Highness, please understand. There is a man who is famous for his bravery and fighting skills around Shu County. Why are you abandoning him?"

"Brave and fierce……?"

Liu Chan's eyes were dull, as if he couldn't remember anything. But suddenly, a gleam of light flashed in Liu Chan's eyes, as if he had thought of something.

"Could it be that Ji Xiu is talking about..."

"That's right, but I'm afraid that the troops are insufficient, so I ask Your Highness to send some of the best troops in Chengdu City and promote Generals Chen Yu and Zheng Chuo to assist us in defeating the traitor Huang Yuan."

Liu Chan looked at Yang Hong, who nodded and continued.

"Yes, yes. Immediately have Chen Yu and Zheng Chuo lead the elite troops in Chengdu and go down the river to stop Huang Ni. At the same time, send an envoy immediately to have my brother... have that general prepare something."

Liu Chan instantly became happy, no longer looking flustered, and nodded repeatedly.

The ministers seemed to be infected by Liu Chan's mood and calmed down. They were no longer anxious and just performed their duties conscientiously.

The efficiency within Chengdu City was still very fast. On that day, several fast horses left the city and headed southeast to convey orders from within Chengdu City.

As for Huang Yuan, after burning Linqiong with great force and demonstrating his power, Huang Yuan did not stop, but headed east, preparing to take the water route, down the Minjiang River and then merge into the Yangtze River. By then, the world would be so big, and it would be up to him whether to go east to Dongwu directly before Jingzhou received the news, or go north to Cao Wei, or go south to Jiaozhou.

However, Huang Yuan did not expect that his good days would soon come to an end.

Before he reached the Min River, Huang Yuan was stopped by someone. The person who came was Chen Yu and Zheng Chuo, who were floating downstream, and led 3,000 elite soldiers from Chengdu to intercept Huang Yuan.

"Brothers, since we have already started the war, Sichuan will no longer be able to accommodate us. Don't be complacent! These should be the last soldiers in Sichuan that can be used. Let's defeat them and go down the river to enjoy the good life!"

Seeing that the soldiers who had been forced to rebel by him were a little panicked because of the arrival of the Chengdu army, Huang Yuan hurriedly spoke to comfort the soldiers. With the communication from officers at all levels, the soldiers calmed down a little and settled down.

There was no need for both sides to say much, they started fighting as soon as they met.

The soldiers coming from Chengdu were elite troops with extraordinary combat effectiveness, while Huang Yuan only prepared local county soldiers, who were brought together and forced to rebel. Although they had received a little training, there was still a big gap between them and these elite soldiers.

However, Huang Yuan's rebel army was almost twice as large as the troops of Chen Tuo and Zheng Chuo, so the two sides were in a stalemate for a while.

"Kill!" However, the stalemate did not last long. In just half an hour, another army went upstream from the lower reaches of the Siming River.

The Huang Yuan rebels knew that they would have no support from inside or outside after the uprising, so no one would come to support them, so the only people who would come would be those who suppressed them. Therefore, the Huang Yuan rebels inevitably wavered, and the soldiers were inclined to collapse.

The support army was led by a majestic general, riding a chestnut horse, holding a large spear in his hand, and wearing a brocade robe, looking extremely heroic.

"Kou Feng is here! Huang Yuan is a traitor and he still refuses to surrender! If you dare to resist, you will die without a burial place!"

Kou Feng pointed his spear and shouted, which made Huang Yuan's rebels waver. Kou Feng, also known as Liu Feng before, was Liu Bei's adopted eldest son and was famous for his bravery. People in Sichuan had heard of his reputation. His appearance here at this moment really made many ordinary soldiers despair.

"Kou Feng...why are you here at this time!"

Huang Yuan bit his back teeth, wishing he could bleed. In his opinion, Kou Feng was a criminal, and if he encountered such a thing, he should at least stand by and watch, not to mention collude with him. Why did he lead the army here so decisively?

However, Huang Yuan's cursing in his heart was of no use. Although Kou Feng only brought soldiers from Jianwei County, the general is the courage of the soldiers. With a fierce general like Kou Feng leading the way, these soldiers who only dared to suppress bandits and catch petty thieves seemed to have been injected with hormones. They rushed forward with a roar and followed Kou Feng.

The balance between the two sides was broken in an instant. Under the attack from both sides, the Huang Yuan rebels immediately scattered like birds and beasts, and some soldiers even knelt on the ground with their heads in their hands, not daring to resist anymore, just hoping to save their lives.

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible! You bastards! It's all your fault!"

It has been just over ten days since Huang Yuan started his rebellion. Although the burning of Linqiong seemed unstoppable, his motley crowd dispersed in less than an hour after they actually fought with the regular army.

Of course, Huang Yuan would definitely not care about these. He would only think that these soldiers were useless and unfit for the task. With a talent like Huang Yuan, how could he make mistakes?
Yang Hong's evaluation of Huang Yuan was that he was "elementally violent and without any kindness or trust." Huang Yuan also relied on rebellion and promises about the future to control these soldiers. Now, facing the real life and death situation, these soldiers would definitely not be able to withstand such pressure and naturally collapsed.

Huang Yuan had no plans for his future. At this moment, he drew his sword and looked around in confusion among the defeated army. Even if he wanted to run, he didn't know where to go.

"Huang Yuan, traitor, where are you going!"

Here, Kou Feng was charging through the formation like a tank. Any soldier who dared to block his way was turned into a unrecognizable corpse and flew aside when he touched the spear in his hand.

Seeing such a mighty Kou Feng drilling through his army like a drill, Huang Yuan had never seen such a scene before.

"Stop him! Stop him now! You bunch of rubbish! Come on!"

Huang Yuan yelled hysterically twice, but the soldiers were already frightened out of their wits, so how could they pay any attention to his crazy words? They all fled for their lives, and no one dared to stop Kou Feng.

“Hmph, hmph…Ahhhhhhhhhh! Don’t come over here!”

Huang Yuan saw Kou Feng rushing towards him, and let out a scream in despair, waving the sword in his hand, trying to scare Kou Feng away.

However, Kou Feng had been on the battlefield for a long time and could smell the aura of weakness emanating from Huang Yuan from a long distance away. He ignored Huang Yuan's half-hearted threats and rode his warhorse even faster. He went straight forward and knocked the sword out of Huang Yuan's hand with just one move. Then Kou Feng picked him off the horse like a chicken.
