Li Luan and his son were angry and the soldiers went ashore and turned around, and drove to Wujun to govern Suzhou with great fanfare, and the people on both sides of the Grand Canal did not know why, so they followed and watched, and its lively scene was where there was a little tension about the war, but it was like the lively and crowded market of the Shangyuan Festival. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

However, Li Lan's Chinese army was already slaughtered at this time, and the first battle of the army arriving in Jiangnan could not be sloppy, and the generals discussed the details of the march with nervous and serious faces, and before that, Wei Zichun had already prepared the text of the crusade against Li Xiyan, and reprimanded Li Xiyan for refusing to obey the tune, and resisting the military order of the official who held the Son of Heaven Fu Festival had already been conspired to rebel, this reason is absolutely reasonable.

Ji Guangchen, the former army commander, is the Qingxu Festival envoy, with the highest status and the oldest qualifications among the generals under Li Lan, and he has his own momentum.

At this time, they were waiting for the return of the horses, and once the defense measures and the state of the troops of Wu County were determined, it was time for the army to storm on.

Now Ji Guangchen is only worried about one thing, that is, the people who are watching the play behind him, once a war starts, the sword and arrow have no eyes, and it is not his wish to hurt the innocent.

But Li Hao, the king of Xiangcheng, listened to Ji Guangchen's worries, but his face was full of disapproval, pointing out the kindness of his wife, if he dispersed the people, he would have to delay a day and a half of his efforts, in case he missed the best fighter, who would be responsible for this?

Of course, Ji Guangchen can't afford to pay the responsibility for losing the first battle, and he feels that Li Wei's words are not completely unreasonable, sometimes he does have to make a decision to kill, although it is a little too ruthless, but it is much better than being defeated and dying.

Soon, Tanma brought back the news of Wu County, the news was so detailed that it was beyond imagination, there was not a single soldier in the four fields of Suzhou, and even there were only more than a thousand old and weak soldiers in Suzhou City, and the army could go down with a drum as long as it arrived.

At this time, Li Lan had already returned to the bedroom to rest on the grounds of fatigue, and his son Li Hao, the king of Xiangcheng, presided over the military meeting on his behalf, and jumped up excitedly when he learned that Suzhou's military equipment was so fast.

"It's really a godsend, you can embrace the red and green in Suzhou tonight, and bathe in the fragrant soup......"

After saying that, he laughed and laughed unscrupulously.

Li Wei laughed for a while and found that no one echoed him, and immediately turned cold and asked:

"Are you cowardly?"

Ji Guangchen replied as usual:

"The subordinates came from Qingxu to defect, in order to assist King Yong to calm the troubled times, how can they be afraid of the enemy and cowardly?"

Li Wei nodded with satisfaction and said:

"Then what's the hesitation, the whole army will attack and go down to Wu County in a battle!"

"No, that's not the right thing. The following officials planned, garrisoning Guangling is the best policy, the main force of the army should rush to Yangzhou overnight today, if Guangling is obedient to listen to the tune, if someone has bad intentions, lead the troops to attack, and use the soldiers at the speed of God, so as not to dream too much at night. ”

Hearing Ji Guangchen's plan, Li Wei was stunned for a moment, before his attention was all on Wujun and Suzhou, and he only regarded Li Xiyan, the county guard, as the first opponent to be defeated. But now it seems that his thoughts are still too thoughtful, Li Xiyan is hateful, but holding Guangling in his hands is the most important thing, so he asked tentatively:

"In the sense of the marshal, the top priority of our army is Yangzhou?"

Ji Guangchen nodded solemnly.

"Suzhou is already vulnerable, just send Hun Weiming to lead a partial division to attack to achieve success, as for most of our army, go upstream, straight to Yangzhou. With the intention of the king of Xiangcheng, what about the red and green in Yangzhou City, and the fragrant soup bath?"

In the end, Ji Guangchen's smile had a special meaning, which caused Li Wei to pat his head and echo:

"Yes, yes, it's better to go to Suzhou at night than to Yangzhou!"

Yangzhou is not only the capital of the river, is the county of Guangling County, a large number of Han people moved south during the Wuhu Rebellion, which brought unprecedented opportunities here, and this place not only occupies the important benefits, but also has the convenience of the waterway, it is like a tiger with wings, and has become the first prosperous metropolis in the south of the Yangtze River for more than 100 years. Until the Sui Daye period, Yangzhou reached its heyday, and Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty even took this as the capital, lived for many years and did not return to Guanzhong, and even died here.

Li Lan was confused and hazy, he only felt that the hull of the boat was shaking badly, and when he opened his eyes, he felt that the sky was spinning, and his abdomen was also turning over the river and the sea, he resisted the desire to vomit, and looked at the window, through the thin curtain, it was vaguely visible that there were starlight spots outside. At this time, he suddenly realized that the ship was moving rapidly.

Thinking of this, Li Lan suddenly turned over and sat up, now the fleet should stop at the shore and wait for the army to attack Suzhou, why did it actually start at night, and the speed was so fast?

Not knowing what was happening, he exclaimed:

"Come on, come on, come on!"

The voice was anxious and nervous, and several eunuchs trotted in in a panic when they heard the sound, and because of the hurry of running, coupled with the unstability of the ship, and one of them was unsteady on his feet, and fell and gnawed on.

"Tell me, where is the fleet going now?"

Several eunuchs blinked their eyes and looked at each other for a while before they muttered:

"Slave maid, slave maid heard that the army wants to go to Jiangdu. ”

"Jiangdu?"

Li Lan was inexplicable, and he became angry again, saying that he would go to Suzhou at dawn, why did he rush to Yangzhou now?

"Where's Wei Zichun? What about Li Wei?

In less than a moment, Wei Zichun and Li Hao arrived at the bedroom of Yongwang Li Luan. Li Hao complained angrily:

"In the middle of the night, the third watch doesn't let people sleep well, and they say that there is any emergency military situation!"

I saw Li Xuan with a blue face, glaring at his eldest son Li Hao, and didn't speak for a long time.

In the process of glaring, Li Hao also sensed his father's dissatisfaction, so he said:

"My father summoned him overnight, I don't know, I don't know what is important......"

Li Lan pointed at his son for a while, then let out a long sigh, and his tone softened.

"You, you, you don't distinguish between the old and the young, do you still want to learn from those unscrupulous sons, and plan to steal their father's soldiers?"

"Father, the son is wronged......"

"Are you wronged? Then let me ask you, yesterday I planned to capture Suzhou and enter the city early in the morning, but now how did you divert Jiangdu again? Have you asked me a word about such a large army mobilization?"

Li Lan counted endlessly with one mouth, and his mouth was dry, and then he remembered to ask the eunuch to boil water and make tea.

Wu sat by himself, gasped for a while, Li Lan looked at Li Hao again, and said with hatred:

"How many times have I said that you want to grow, you want to grow, but you are still so obedient, don't you know how the word rules are written......"

After taking a sip of the freshly brewed tea soup, Li Luan quenched his thirst and began to chatter again. On the contrary, Wei Zichun sat awkwardly awkwardly, lowered his eyebrows, and didn't say a word, as if he hadn't heard a word.

Finally, Li Lan realized that he had neglected Wei Zichun, so he apologized to him:

"Sir, this unscrupulous son won't let my grandfather worry for a day!"

At this time, Wei Zichun's eyes were opened.

"King Yong is angry, it is indeed wrong for the King of Xiangcheng to make his own decisions without reporting to him, but it is a proper move for the army to take the river at night, and it is also very necessary!"

This sentence was very plain, but Li Lan heard Wei Zichun's voice-over, and leaned forward and asked:

"Could it be that Jiangdu has changed?"

Wei Zichun shook his head.

"It's hard to say whether there has been a change now, but seven or eight times out of ten, the situation in Jiangdu is not much different from Suzhou!"

Although he said it tactfully, it was equivalent to telling Li Lan that the officials in Jiangdu were also unwilling to obey him.

Li Lan was a little depressed, and his body was a little atrophied.

"Why, why do you have to go against this king?"

He began to ask questions, and as if he were talking to himself, he suddenly straightened up.

"What about Ji Guangchen, let him come to see me!"

"Ji Du has already led the front army to rush to Dantu first, just wait for dawn, King Yong can enter Dangtu City to rest, and then the army will attack Jiangdu again!"

Dantu and Jiangdu face each other across a Yangtze River, Danyang is on the south bank, the river is on the north bank, if the army wants to take the Jiangdu, it must go down to Danyang.

After a long time, Li Ling suddenly asked:

"What about Suzhou? Who did Suzhou send?"

"Please rest assured that King Yong, the commander of the left army, Hun Weiming, led the division to attack Suzhou, and at this time he may have conquered the city. ”

Li Lan nodded a little distractedly, and seemed to be a little comforted, finally these subordinates still took care of their feelings.

Early the next morning, Danyang Taishou Yan Jingzhi abandoned the city and fled westward, and Dantu City went down with a drum. By the time Li Ling and the Chinese army arrived at the city of Danyang, Ji Guangchen had already led the army across the river to the north to attack Jiangdu. stayed in Dantu for one night, and there was news from Wu County, and Suzhou also went down in one go, but it was a pity that it was the same as Danyang, so that Li Xiyan ran away.

And Li Lan's residual anger towards Li Xiyan did not subside, so he ordered Gao Xianqi, the commander of the right army, to lead his troops to pursue. At that time, Li Xiyan, the Taishou of Wujun, echoed Yan Jingzhi, the Taishou of Danyang, and the soldiers were in Dangtu.

Gao Xianqi used a surprise attack to defeat Li Xiyan and Yan Jingzhi's men and horses respectively, but it was a pity that Li Xiyan was as cunning as a fox and escaped from the tiger's mouth again, while Yan Jingzhi was not so lucky and was captured in a battle.

On the day when Gao Xianqi returned to Dantu in triumph, Ji Guangchen also sent people to cross the Yangtze River south to report the victory, and the main army led by him defeated Guangling Changshi and Huainan interview envoy Li Chengshi, and successfully conquered Jiangdu.

A series of victories made Li Lan a little overwhelmed, and the previous anxiety was also swept away. Although it is a small pity that Li Xiyan, who spoke disrespectfully to him, was not captured alive, it was also exciting to catch Yan Jingzhi, the Taishou of Danyang, who was in the same stream as him. He has never changed his idea of killing chickens and making an example of monkeys, but the chicken has changed from Li Xiyan to Yan Jingzhi.

When Wei Zichun heard that Li Lan insisted on killing Yan Jingzhi, he came out to dissuade him in a timely manner.

"If King Yong can understand his reasoning, move him with affection, convince Yan Jingzhi, and make him submit, then he can easily win the hearts of Jiangnan officials!"

Li Lan accepted the advice and decided to condescend to the noble person to persuade this Danyang Taishou to surrender.

When he saw Yan Jing, Li Lan almost couldn't believe his eyes, the black fat man in front of him had his clothes in tatters, and he was covered with blood, and his face was covered with dust and filth.
