Great Warriors of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 886

"A commander in chief is not appointed, but born."

Under the city of Yanmen, the emperor said at the military meeting in front of the imperial court.

Today's emperor is in a particularly good mood, with a spring-like smile on his face.The young emperor specially wore a relatively solemn silk armor today, which was bright in color and straight as real.

The tall and straight emperor wore a long sword made of jade at his waist, and on the shoulders of the emperor's silk armor, there were also epaulets with five gold stars on each shoulder.

Information is constantly being collected.

The Secret Service Division of Weiwei Temple, the Staff Division of the Ministry of War, the inspection room of the Privy Council, and the four major intelligence departments of the Pro-Army Captain's Mansion each used their own channels to compile the intelligence snowflakes from all over the place.

Almost all good news.

"Your Majesty, is there any good news?"

The prime ministers who came from Luoyang were worried about the war before the war, but now the situation is going very smoothly, far exceeding everyone's expectations.

Even Du Ruhui, who has always been conservative, no longer has a tense face.

"Lingnan has good news." The emperor told everyone with a smile.

He previously selected Li Jing to lead an army from Jiangdu to the sea from Jiangdu, and headed for Lingnan by sea.In fact, many people disagreed with the emperor's arrangement at that time.For one thing, after Li Jing voted to Qin, although he was highly valued by the emperor, he never saw any truly decent achievements, nor did he fight any tough battles.

Several short-term commanders also assisted Shi Xin, Cun Xiao and the others, and were quickly transferred away.

When he went to Lingnan, he took so tens of thousands of people, thousands of miles away from the Central Plains, even if there was Yan Wang Luo Yi, Li Xizhi, the Prime Minister of Shi'an County who was attached to him, and Feng An, who was professed as a vassal, it was too far away after all.

A famous general like Luo Yi has been in Annan for several years, but he has never been able to pacify Lingnan, and he can barely maintain the area of ​​Annan. So what if Li Jing is gone?
In their view, the emperor sent Li Jing there just to express the Great Qin court's attitude towards Lingnan, and to intimidate the separatist chiefs.

"Before, I worshiped Li Jing as commander-in-chief. I set out to conquer Lingnan at sea, and I specially granted him the privilege of entrusting him with entrustment, and let him conquer and appease Lingnan. Now it has finally paid off."

Li Jing landed from the sea to Gaoliang County in Lingnan. It was not smooth at first. Many soldiers drifted at sea for a long time, and many died of illness.When they arrived in Lingnan, they faced the counterattack of Xian Baoche from Gaoliang County.

Fortunately, Li Jing adopted the strategy of Zhenwu Weiwei to demonstrate etiquette, military conquest and attack, and at the same time win over and appease, the effect is not bad.Originally, Feng An was a powerful man for generations in Lingnan, and his local prestige was not small. He also served as a general in Yang Guang's court when he went north. He has a certain prestige among Han people and slang people in Lingnan.

However, there is Xian Dingche in Gaoliang County. Feng Xian has been married for generations. This Xian Baoche is from the Xian family. The Xian family is from the slang.

Fortunately, Li Jing is here. Li Jing not only has a high level of strategy, but the most important thing is that he also brought an elite army. Although the number is not large, there are only more than [-] people, but these [-] people are well-equipped and have been fighting for a long time. veteran.

With Feng An as the guide, Li Jing adjusted his tactical thinking, using both water and land, and quickly defeated Xian Baoche several times in succession, beating him into a panic.

The land of more than ten prefectures that Xian Baoche originally controlled was quickly taken by Li Jing to the eight prefectures including Gao and Luo.

It was under such circumstances that Li Jing's reputation in Lingnan was greatly shaken, and he sent envoys to recruit those military leaders everywhere, and the effect was much better.

Li Xizhi of Shi'an County was granted the title of Founding Duke of Shi'an County, and he was appointed as the commander of Zuo Dudu, Jialing Nanxi Road, the prefect of Shi'an County.Li Xizhi set off to fight in Guilin, defeated Li Guangdu, the prefect of Yongping County's separatist regime, and recruited his troops, and then went south to join forces with Li Jing and Feng An.

After the two groups of people joined forces, their military power was greatly boosted.

After that, the allied forces eastward surrounded Guangzhou and attacked Chaoshan.

April.

Ning Changzhen, the former Minister of Honglu Temple in the Sui Dynasty, surrendered the land of Ningyue and Yulin to Luo Yi, and Deng Wenjin, the head of the Guangzhou Army, asked to surrender to Li Jing.

May.

Ning Xuan, the prefect of Hepu in the Sui Dynasty, and Li Jun, the prefect of Rinan, successively asked Luo Yi to surrender.

By the beginning of June, all the large and small separatists in Lingnan and Annan were defeated successively by Li Jing, Luo Yi, Li Xizhi, and Feng An, either dead or surrendered.

Lingnan was settled.

The news was sent to Yanmen after several rounds, so the emperor was so happy.Although it is said that at present, Annan in Lingnan is only temporarily pacified on the surface, and has not really grasped it yet.

But at least, no one dared to openly confront Great Qin, and they all recognized the rule of the Qin Dynasty.

Li Jing was in Lingnan, and according to the situation, he gave Ning Changzhen, Deng Wenjin, Yang Shilue, Ning Xuan, Li Jun and others a lot of power, and they were divided into prefects and other positions. Many of them still controlled a lot of soldiers and horses. But these are only temporary stopgap measures.

In any case, Daqin has pacified Lingnan and Annan.

"Luo Yi, the King of Yan, Li Xizhi, the Duke of Shi'an County, and Feng An, the Duke of Geng Guo, have all set out to go north. They also dispatched more than [-] troops from Lingnan to go north. Geng Guogong led an army of more than [-] people from Guangzhou to the north, entered Nankang County from Dayuling, and attacked Jiangxi Lin Shihong. .”

Li Jing sits in Lingnan, while Luo Yi and others mobilize the army of the original warlords in Lingnan to make a three-way northern expedition.

This is not only a draw from the bottom, but also a strategy to drive away tigers and wolves.

How could the emperor be unhappy?

Luo Cheng had sent a commendation edict to Li Jing, and also made Li Xizhi the Duke of Kang.

"There are a few more good news. Zhao Gui beheaded Gao Kaidao in Zhuojun and took back Zhuojun, and marched into Yunzhong. And Feng Xiaoci beheaded Zhen Zhaier, who was attached to the Xia army, in Shanggu, defeating a large-scale attack by the Xia army. The attack cut off their connection with the Taihang Shanxi Turkic Army and Liu Heita.”

"After Hu Dayen, the general of Liu Heitai of the former Xia Army, returned to Qin, he and the warrior Yu successfully instigated Liu Wuzhou's general Gao Manzheng in Shenwu City, Mayi. There were more than [-] Turkic nobles, more than [-] ranks were killed in battle, and more than [-] were captured."

The good news came from the emperor one by one, and all the ministers who participated in the military meeting were excited and cheered in unison.

"Everyone, the stage of stalemate has passed. Now, we have fully occupied the initiative in the war, and Jieli is now about to become the turtle in our urn. Zhao Gui has already arrived in Yunzhong, Feng Xiaoci has also arrived at Lingqiu, Gao Manzheng and Luo Danen have occupied the gods. Well, now, it's time for us to fully counterattack!"

"Your Majesty, the preparations for Yanmen City are complete, and as soon as His Majesty gives an order, Yanmen City can be breached in one fell swoop."

"The war has been going on for two months, it's time to end!" the emperor said passionately!
