New Wagang

Chapter 939
"But my lord, don't worry, my Jiangling City is the capital city of our Daliang Kingdom. Together with the previous dynasty, it has been operated for dozens of years. Besides, apart from the main city of Jiangling and the outer city of Jiangling, we will definitely guard Jiangling to the death to prevent the Daxin soldiers and horses." No matter how far we advance, as long as we persist for three months, Yan Wang Xu Xuanche and Lu Wang Wanzan will be able to gather the newly recruited soldiers and horses to rescue them, and at that time, Daxin soldiers and horses will retreat!"

Lei Shimeng, like Wen Shihong, is Xiao Mian's confidant, seeing Xiao Mian's panic-stricken look, he quickly comforted him.

Xiao Mian stared at Lei Shimeng suspiciously, Xiao Mian knew about Xu Wanche and Wan Zan recruiting troops in other places in the south of the Yangtze River, but could they really come to Jiangling within three months?
If this is the case, then there is still a fight. After all, if you want to fight against Daxin Kingdom, you may not be able to win, but if you stick to Jiangling, if you have enough food and soldiers, you should be able to fight in three months. No worries.

Seeing that Xiao Mian seemed to have calmed down, the two of them felt a little relieved. After all, under the current situation, if Xiao Mian could not stabilize first, then the other forces would be even less likely to have a chance if they fell apart again. Heli has fought with Daxin Kingdom, and it is no wonder that everyone has not been defeated by Daxin Kingdom one by one.

Therefore, Zheng Wenxiu has already discussed with Xu Wanche, Wan Zan, Qi Wang Zhangxiu, and Song Wang Yang Daosheng, that this time, no matter what, we must go all out to resist the Daxin Kingdom's attack first, and then we will talk about how to distribute it among the various families. A question of power.

Hence, in Jiangling City, Zheng Wenxiu, Yang Daosheng, Lei Shimeng, and Zhang Xiu stayed behind, and the rest of them rushed to various places in the south of the Yangtze River to recruit soldiers and horses, with the idea of ​​fighting Daxin Kingdom to the end.

"My lord." Zheng Wenxiu bowed again and said: "At present, the former army is actively preparing for the battle. King Song, King Qi, and General Yang Junmao are guarding the outer city of Jiangling together. The last general will guard the inner city of Jiangling with King Qin. The last general will be with King Qin today. The King of Qin came to the palace to see the lord, because he has a request and hopes that the lord will agree."

"Oh?" Xiao Mian was slightly surprised, glanced at the two of them, and said, "It's okay to speak up if you have anything to say."

Zheng Wenxiu glanced at Lei Shimeng, this time Lei Shimeng took the initiative to speak up, and said: "The general will discuss with General Zheng to ask my lord to go to the outer city of Jiangling to patrol and defend, so as to increase the morale of the soldiers!"

"At this time, I share weal and woe with all the people, the soldiers and the common people. It is natural to go to the outer city to patrol and defend to boost morale." Xiao Xian also sighed deeply, and said: "Tomorrow at the beginning of the morning, I will personally go to the outer city to inspect. You wait and make arrangements first."

"My lord is wise!" Zheng Wenxiu and Lei Shimeng praised at the same time.

Seven days later.

Li Jing's soldiers and horses arrived at the outer city of Jiangling smoothly, but they did not launch an attack immediately. Instead, they set up a large camp in the water. Because Yichang City was behind them as a backup support, Li Jing was not in a hurry to attack the city. After all, Jiangling City However, it has been operated as the capital of several dynasties, and its geographical location is extremely superior, especially after several generations of repairs and reinforcements. In terms of defense, Jiangling City is actually really difficult to capture.

Thinking back to the founding of the Sui Dynasty, when the army was strong and the horses were strong, the invincible prestige of the nine elders of the Sui Dynasty was even more powerful. Han Qinhu led hundreds of thousands of troops to attack Jiangling, but he had no choice but to take advantage of the Empress Chen. The stunning beauty was surrounded by Yingge Yanwu all day long, and rarely involved in Jiangling's defense. Finally, Han Qinhu found a loophole to sneak across the river and broke through Jiankang Mansion in one fell swoop, thus taking down Jiangling City.

Li Jing does not think that the current situation of Daxin is stronger than that of the original Sui Dynasty, and that Daxin is currently using troops in many places. Xu Shiji also divided half of the previous troops when he went to Bashu. Therefore, Li Jing did not dare to do it. It's dangerous, you need to be careful every step of the way, because Li Jing knows that he is taking office halfway this time, and he has never had any meritorious service with generals or soldiers before. If he loses, he will never have a second chance and also.



When Xu Shiji arrived in Xiazhou, he was stopped by Xu Shao's troops.

Although Xu Shao was an official of the Sui Dynasty, he was secretly bought by Chai Shao before, and he was already a member of the Li family in Taiyuan Prefecture. Shao took the opportunity to donate Xiazhou, so that Datang could use Xiazhou as the base point to smoothly advance to the south of the Yangtze River.

However, Xu Shao never expected that the Li family, which he had always hoped for, would be defeated three times in a row after raising the flag, and finally retreated back to Taiyuan Mansion. In Luzhou City and Fuzhou City, the Li family had nothing to do.

At this point, Xu Shao already had the idea of ​​giving up Taiyuan Mansion and choosing other forces to join him. Originally, Xu Shao was thinking of Jiangnan, after all, Jiangnan was too close to him, so if Xiao Xiao wanted to beat him, he would follow the river for a few minutes. The day was coming, but when it was discovered that Daxin Kingdom had suddenly sent troops to the south of the Yangtze River, Xu Shao changed his mind again, that is, he should go to Daxin Kingdom.

But sometimes he's just so weird.

Xu Shao's intention to join the Daxin Kingdom was noticed by his deputy Zhang Zhiyuan. Zhang Zhiyuan was indeed a die-hard loyalist of the Li family. When Chai Shao bought people's hearts, he didn't just buy one Xu Shao. Also bought it.

But Zhang Zhiyuan wanted to be loyal to the Li family willingly, so after Zhang Zhiyuan noticed Xu Shao's thoughts, he found an opportunity to kill Xu Shao, but no one knew about it. Zhang Zhiyuan said it was Xu Shao Occasional cold, dysentery, and now the whole body is exhausted and the wind is not visible in the house, so he dare not go out of the house, he needs to recuperate well, all military affairs are in charge of by Zhang Zhiyuan himself.

Zhang Zhiyuan and Xu Shao were sworn brothers in the first place, and Xu Shao often handed over important tasks to Zhang Zhiyuan many times, so almost no one doubted the subtlety of this.

Zhang Zhiyuan tried his best to stop Xu Shiji in Xiazhou, and caused Xu Shiji great difficulties. Finally, Lu Mingyue dispatched the Water Ghost Camp to sneak into Xiazhou City against the undercurrent of the sewage that was being sent from Xiazhou City to the river in the dark. Then they found an opportunity to seize the city gate, and such a large army entered Xiazhou City.

Zhang Zhiyuan died in battle when he rushed to guard the city gate. After Zhang Zhiyuan died, the soldiers and horses in Xiazhou City surrendered one after another, and finally Xu Shiji also found Xu Shao's body in the government office.

After conquering Xiaxia Prefecture, Xu Shiji ordered the troops to recuperate in the city for a few days before reorganizing and mobilizing. After all, the soldiers and horses needed to adapt to the environment and climate of different regions, and then sent troops to Jinzhou. There are many mountains and forests in the state, and the undercurrents in the valleys and caves are even more complicated. The Lord General of Jinzhou, Xue Yi, went out of the city to offer his seal when Xu Shiji's troops arrived, but it created a new thorny problem for Xu Shiji.
