Chapter 267
【After defeating the pursuers, Li Jing led his army straight to Jiangling City. Along the way, he broke through the outer city of Jiangling and the water city in one fell swoop, surrounded the inner city, and captured a large number of ships during the process.

But then Li Jing ordered these boats to be put into the river and let them go down the river.

This approach made his subordinates very confused, and asked: "What is the reason for not using the spoils that you have obtained so hard to attack the enemy, but abandoning it to benefit the enemy?"

Li Jing explained: "Xiaomian's land has a vast territory, with mountains in the south and Dongting in the east. The Tang army is alone and goes deep, and the city of Jiangling is strong. If the attack is not defeated, the enemy's reinforcements will gather four times, and one's own side will be trapped by the enemy. At that time, no matter how many boats there are, it will be in vain.

If they are abandoned in the river and let them go down the river, the enemy reinforcements will see that Jiangling has fallen, and they dare not enter lightly. Before hesitation, they will send people to verify the situation. During the exchange, at least one year has been wasted. In a month's time, when the reinforcements learned the truth, our army had captured Jiangling. "]

【The result was just as Li Jing expected.

After cutting off Xiao Mian's reinforcements, Li Jing led [-] elite soldiers as the vanguard to the Jiangling city.

Xiao Xian sent Xiao generals Yang Junmao and Zheng Wenxiu to fight, but they were defeated by Li Jing and captured more than [-] soldiers. Li Xiaogong led the army to advance and surrounded Jiangling tightly.

Xiao Xian wanted to fight, but his troops were insufficient; he wanted to hold on, but no reinforcements came.

In desperation, after discussing with his subordinates, Xiao Mian finally put on mourning clothes and led all civil and military officials to surrender.

After Li Jing led the army into the city, many soldiers wanted to rob property, but Li Jing firmly opposed it. He said that we still have a lot of land in the south. If we burn, kill, humiliate and loot now, other towns will desperately resist. 】

[Under the leadership of Li Jing, the Tang Army did not let go of the viciousness of burning, killing, humiliating and looting, and adopted a gentle policy to appease the people, which was well received by the people, and soon other cities in Liang State also surrendered.

A few days after Xiao Mian surrendered, his 10,000+ reinforcements arrived. They heard that Xiao Mian was defeated and the Tang army was generous, so they surrendered without a fight. Later, Xiao Mian was taken to Chang'an to be executed.

Li Jing became famous after this battle, and Li Yuan was also impressed by Li Jing's military talent, and named Li Jing the Duke of Shangzhu Kingdom and Yongkang County, and then sent Li Jing to Lingnan with a big hand, "relegating" even further. 】

"Well, you old six, you say you're a little bitch, but you're more ruthless than anyone else!"

"Hahaha! I laughed so hard, how much Li Yuan hates Li Jing!"

"Li Yuan said: I can spare your life and give you a stage to display your talents, but I still want to mess with you if I'm fine, otherwise I'm really uncomfortable!"

[Although he was "relegated" to Lingnan, Li Jing still devoted himself to his responsibilities. He crossed Lingnan, recovered 96 prefectures, and gained more than [-] households.

In August of the sixth year of Wude, Huainan Daoxing Taifu Shefu Gong Er took the opportunity of Wu Wang Du Fuwei's entry into the court, falsely claiming that Du Fuwei was imprisoned, and falsely claiming that he had obtained Fuwei's letter to order the army, so all Jiangnan rebelled.

Li Yuan immediately ordered Li Xiaogong to be the marshal, Li Jing to be the deputy, and Li Ji, Ren Gui, Zhang Zhenzhou, Huang Junhan and other seven generals to be ordered to send troops to quell the rebellion.

Feng Huiliang and Chen Dangshi of Fu Gong Er sent [-] sailors to station Bowang Mountain. Chen Zhengtong and Xu Shaozong led [-] troops to ride on Qinglin Mountain. For more than ten miles, they formed a base in Jiangxi to resist the Tang army.As a result, the naval forces under Feng Huiliang and Chen Dangshi and the army under Chen Zhengtong and Xu Shaozong were like horns of each other, and the defense was very tight.

For this reason, the Tang army also divided into two groups. Li Xiaogong and Li Jingshuai sailed in Shuzhou, and Li Shiji unified ten thousand infantry across the Huaihe River, attacked Shouyang, and stationed in Kipshi. 】

[Li Xiaogong summoned the generals to discuss countermeasures, and all the generals believed that Feng Huiliang's troops stationed at Bowang Mountain and Chen Zhengtong's troops stationed at Qinglin Mountain not only had strong troops, but also occupied dangerous land and water terrains at the same time.

In addition, the opponent's water and land are horns of each other, and the defense is tight, so it is difficult to attack for a while.That being the case, it is better to bypass the enemy's frontal line of defense and go straight to Danyang.

Danyang is the base camp of the enemy army, as long as Danyang is captured, Feng Huiliang and Chen Zhengtong's troops will naturally collapse without a fight.

Xiao Gongzheng was planning to adopt this strategy, but Li Jing objected. He believed that: Feng Huiliang and Chen Zhengtong were indeed the elite troops of Fugong Er, but there must be a lot of Danyang troops left by Fu Gong Er.

Danyang City is strong, but our army can't even conquer the passes such as Bowang Mountain. How can it be possible to conquer the fortified city in a short time?

If Dan Yang was unable to attack for a long time, and Feng Huiliang and others took the opportunity to attack from behind us, then our army would be in danger of being attacked from the front and back, and the entire army might be in danger of being wiped out.

Moreover, Feng Huiliang and Chen Zhengtong are both veteran generals, and they are not cowardly to hold on to the wall this time. It is just that Fu Gong Er strictly ordered them not to hold on, with the intention of dampening our army's spirit and delaying our army's attack.

For the current plan, we should show our weakness, lure the enemy into battle, and annihilate the enemy in field battles. 】

"Li Jing's ability to analyze the situation is truly terrifying."

"It's like two people confronting each other. One side has a normal perspective, but the other side can see you through. How can you fight?"

"It is precisely because of his comprehensive grasp of the situation that Li Jing has the prestige of being invincible in all battles."

【Analyzed, Li Jing successfully persuaded Li Xiaogong.

Therefore, the Tang army first deliberately sent weak soldiers to attack the defense line built by the opponent to show the enemy's weakness, and then secretly assembled elite soldiers to wait for the opportunity, intending to catch them by surprise. 】

"Hey! This trick is familiar to Han Xin!"

"Sure enough, the strategy of showing the enemy to be weak and luring the enemy to go deeper is never out of date!"

[The Tang army attacking the opponent's line of defense are all weak troops, so they are naturally unable to attack. They pretended to be defeated (in fact, they were almost really defeated), and Chen Zhengtong really fell for it!
Chen Zhengtong led the defenders in pursuit, but within a few miles, they encountered Li Xiaogong's main force and suffered a disastrous defeat.

Tang general Kan Leng was Du Fuwei's general before, and many of Chen Zhengtong's infantry were his old subordinates.

As soon as the two sides fought, Kan Leng took off his armor to show his identity. After seeing this, the enemy soldiers lost all fighting spirit and fled or surrendered one after another. 】

[Speaking of Du Fuwei, here are a few more words.

As we all know, there were troubled times of the Three Kingdoms before, and Sui and Tang Dynasties later, and heroes came out of troubled times!

During the chaos at the end of the Sui Dynasty, Du Fuwei took the opportunity to rise up and formed a peasant uprising army, and he also developed his own uprising army into the strongest peasant army at that time, surpassing Wagang!

Du Fuwei was also a poor boy when he was a teenager. After he was accused of stealing and went to the government, he and his assistant Gong Er went into exile. Halfway through, Du Fuwei was only 16 years old, and then organized an uprising.

In the ninth year of Daye (613 A.D.), Du Fuwei and Fu Gong Er went to the Changbai Mountain area, and then moved to the Huainan area. Due to his bravery and skill in fighting, Du Fuwei quickly stood out and became the leader. He called himself a general, and began to expand his territory and troops. .

In the second year of Wude, Li Yuan sent an envoy to recruit Du Fuwei, and Du Fuwei also judged the situation and surrendered to Li Yuan. For Du Fuwei's surrender, Li Yuan also showed enough sincerity, and named Du Fuwei the king of Wu, and Give the surname Li. 】
