Great Warriors of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 1239
"This is rebellion, it's bullying!"

In Nanjun, in Jiangling City, Xiao Mian cursed loudly.

The Yi flags of Jiangxia County and Mianyang County were like a sharp knife, piercing his heart fiercely.The most worrying thing of all time still happened.

"Call Xu Sheren to come to draw up an order, and I will send troops to fight against rebellion!"

Du Zhisong hurriedly persuaded him.

"Zhang Zhenzhou and Zhou Faming were Sui generals. At the end of Daye, they led the army to attack and surrendered because of defeat. However, they were not loyal to the king. In their early years, they wanted to return to Qin with Lei Changying, Xu Shao, Dong Jingzhen, etc. At that time, Qin was surrounded by foreign enemies. And deliberately did not intend to cause chaos, so the San Francisco was retained. But now, look around, who else is Qin's opponent?"

Du Zhisong previously served as Xiao Xian's Zhongshu Minister, in charge of secrets.Later, the three feudal clans professed their vassals to Qin and exchanged their lands for kingship. Xiao Xian, the emperor of Nanliang, had actually lost the title of emperor.

Therefore, Du Zhisong was changed to Sima, the governor of Hunan Province.

"Your Majesty, Zhang Zhenzhou and others changed flags. This is definitely ordered by the Qin people, otherwise they would not dare to do so with the lesson of Lei Changying. But since the Qin people ordered it, how can we attack?"

"Zhen Zhen Zhen..." Xiao Mian called out three words of "Zhen Zhen Zhen", but couldn't continue.

Du Zhisong reminded Xiao Mian, "Your Majesty should call himself Gu and call himself Zhen. If the news spreads, it will be treason against Qin."

After proclaiming himself a minister to Qin, Xiao Xian has indeed not called himself Zhen for a long time, but always called himself Gu.But now, the rebellion in Jiangxia and Mianyang counties has made Xiao Xian unable to calm down.

No matter how difficult the past few years have been, he is still the Lord of Jingxiang in name, who would be willing to give up this status until the last step.

"Report, Your Majesty, please see Xu Zhiren, the procurator."

"What is he here for?" Xiao Mian frowned.

Xu Zhiren, the governor of Hunan Province, was not from Xiao Xian. His father, Xu Shao, was the governor of Yiling County at first, and he and Li Yuan were classmates.When Xiao Xian attacked Jianghan, Xu Shao insisted on refusing to submit, united the four counties to resist, and finally submitted to Qin.

After the San Francisco became a minister to Qin, the emperor granted Xu Shao the title of Duke of Anlu County, the commander-in-chief of Hubei Dao Youdu, and his son Xu Zhiren the inspector of Hunan Dao You Ti Xing.Xu Zhiren, actually in Jiangling, was a nail planted by the emperor to monitor Jiangling.

"not see."

Sima Du Zhisong persuaded, "Xu Zhiren is the emperor's man, why not listen to his intentions."

After Xu Zhiren entered the palace, he straight to the point explained the purpose of his visit.

In Luoyang, the emperor heard that Hunan Province was not good for locust eradication and disaster prevention, which led to the widespread hunger in Hunan Province, and the hungry people in Jiangxia and Mianyang counties even crossed the river and entered Anlu County.Anlu County had to urgently dispatch food relief to the victims and provide temporary resettlement.

The emperor was very dissatisfied with Xiao Xian, thinking that he had not fulfilled his due responsibilities as a Jiedushi.

"His Majesty's oracle!"

Xiao Mian stood there motionless.

Xu Zhiren laughed twice and raised his voice.

"The sage's oracle, Nanjun Wang Xiaomian received the sage's oracle!"

In the end, Xiao Xian had no choice but to kneel in front of Xu Zhiren to accept the decree.

"The holy man said, I have already reminded you several times, Xiao Mian, that there will be a severe drought and even a large locust plague this year. I asked you to take precautions early and prepare in time. I also gave you many ways to eliminate locusts, so you should step up your preparations." Food and disaster prevention, but what have you been doing? Now Hunan is full of hungry people, and the people are running to the surrounding counties and counties. Are you asking me to wipe your ass? After receiving my order, immediately go to Luoyang to see me, and I will let the court The Secretary will discuss with you how to treat the disaster victims in the counties of Hunan Province, and enter Beijing immediately without delay, if there is any delay, you will bear the consequences!"

Xiao Xiao crossed his hands.

"The minister accepts the oracle."

Standing up, Xiao Mian looked ugly.

"Your Majesty, the lower officials have ordered people to get off the horses and horses. Please leave immediately to Luoyang along with the officials of the various departments in Jiangling City."

Xiao Xian snorted coldly, "How can Gu leave at this time?"

"Could it be that the county king himself has the ability to help the victims? If at this time, the imperial court does not provide food relief to Hunan, as long as there is an order to block the border, Hunan Road will be in chaos. What will the county king do at that time? What will he do to face millions of hungry people?"

"Does the observer know that Jiangxia Zhou Fashang and Mianyang Zhang Zhenzhou have rebelled?"

"Rebellion? Where do you start?" Xu Zhiren chuckled. "Why did the officer receive the news that the two prefects were dedicated to helping the victims and working hard. The two couldn't get support from Jiangling, so they could only ask the neighboring Anlu County for help. Now Anlu is borrowing food again. , and to receive disaster victims, how can the county king say that about those who do practical things?"

The words were not speculative, and Xiao Xian didn't want to argue anymore when faced with Xu Zhiren's obvious lies.

"I ask the observer Xu to go back to the yamen first, there are still some things that need to be dealt with first."

"Also ask the King of Nanjun to leave early!" After Xu Zhiren finished speaking, he shook his sleeves and left.

When the figure disappeared at the entrance of the hall, Xiao Mian directly smashed Yu Ruyi in his hand.

"Call Scholar Hong and Gai Yan to come!"

Du Zhisong still wanted to persuade, but Xiao Mian didn't want to listen at all.

Both Wen Shihong and Gai Yan are Xiao Xian's confidantes, and they are also relatively reliable generals under his command these years. It is because of these few generals that they can barely survive the domineering leaders of the towns.

"The Qin people are too deceitful, I can't just sit and wait for death, you two, I want you to use up the Jiangling navy, send troops to Jiangxia and Mianyang, and bring Zhang Zhenzhou and Zhou Faming to justice!"

Wen Shihong and Gai Yan were awarded the post of general manager by Xiao Mian, and promised that after the two insurrections were settled, Wen Shihong would take over the post of Mianyang prefect, and Gai Yan would take over the post of Jiangxia prefect.

A few days later, the two generals assembled more than a hundred large ships such as the five-tooth battleship, and each counted more than 800 small and medium-sized ships.Among them, the large building ships such as Huanglong, Wuya, Feiyun, Gaihai, and Chang'an are all five-story building ships. The largest can carry [-] soldiers, and the small one can carry [-] people.

This huge fleet of more than 3000 ships, consisting of large and small warships and merchant ships, has as many as 10 people.

The fleet led by the second general was only [-] miles away from Jiangling, so it anchored at the police station in Youjiang Estuary and did not leave.

Sima Du Zhisong, who Xiao Xian sent to supervise the army, asked the second general.

"Why stop?"

Wen Shihong and Gai Yan stood on the deck, pointing to Jiangkou's mighty fleet, "What does Du Sima think of this fleet?"

Du Zhisong didn't say a word, this fleet was really big, but it was mobs, many merchant ships were conscripted, and nearly [-]% of the soldiers on board were not soldiers.

Even those high-rise ships such as Wuya and Feiyun were actually built in the Sui Dynasty. These ships looked very large and majestic, but he knew that on the Jingjiang River, these bulky high-rise ships were not at all. The opponents of the soft-sail treasure ships of the Great Qin Yangtze River Fleet, those ships are fast, flexible, and equipped with better equipment on board, not to mention the elite soldiers on board.

"It seems that Du Sima is also clear."

Du Zhisong asked, "What are you planning to do when you stop here?"

Gai Yan said unabashedly, "Zhang Zhenzhou and Zhou Faming are smart, we plan to learn from them, Yi Zhi!"
