In March of the fourteenth year of the Great Cause, the whole world was conservatively shaken by waves of news. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

On the fifth day of the first month of March, Yu Wenhua and a contrarian party, Yu Wenzhihe, Sima Dejiao, Pei Qiantong, Meng Jing, Yuan Li, Yang Lan, Tang Fengyi, Niu Fangyu, Yuan Min, Xue Liang, Ma Ju, Yuan Wuda, Li Xiaoben, Li Xiaozhen, Zhang Kai, Xu Hongren, Linghu Xingda, Xi Defang, Li Fu and others killed Yang Guang in Danyang Palace, Jiangdu.

Yang Guang is dead, and there is no emperor in the world. Everyone thought that the Yuwen valve would rise and run rampant. But I didn't want to come with even more surprising news just three days later.

On the eighth day of the first month of March, the general of Danyang Town, when Tu Hou Li Qin and Li Yuanhua raised troops to fight against thieves, entered Jiangning City.

On the ninth day of March, Li Qin led 10 ships with 20,000 troops from the 2nd Naval and Land Division, and more than 100 merchant ships crossed the river to attack Yu Wenhua. After an afternoon of fierce fighting between the two sides, Li Qinzhen beheaded Yu Wenhua and Yu Wen Zhihe, severely damaged Yuwen Chengdu, occupied Jiangdu City, rescued a cadre of civil and military ministers who were imprisoned by Yu Wenhua and captured almost 80,000 soldiers of the Xiaoguo Army. Yuwen Valve's dream vanished.

On the 10th day of the first month of March, Li Qin ordered the people of Jiangdu to move south on the grounds that Jiangdu City was unfavorable for defense in the north of the river. With the support of the Jukun Gang and the Haisha Gang, one of the three major gangs in the Jianghu and East China Seas, Li Qin transported 600,000 Jiangdu people to Jiangnan in just ten days.

On March 11, Du Fuwei, who was close to Jiangdu, heard the consequences of the Jiangdu Incident, and sent his son Wang Xiongdan to lead 30,000 troops south to attack Li Qin, intending to interrupt Li Qin's move to seize the population, but he did not want to encounter Su Dingfang under Li Qin's command a hundred miles north of Jiangdu.

At that time, it was rumored that Li Qinjun's soldiers were good at bows and crossbows, knew how to use thunder and fire, and tried to use a four-foot-long iron pipe to spit thunder and fire, and easily destroy the enemy from a hundred paces away.

On 21 March, Li Qin moved the people of Jiangdu to Jiangning, and Li Qin led troops from Jiangdu to return south.

On March 23, Wang Xiong returned to Jiangdu City and got a ghost town with a population of only 20,000 or 30,000.

On the first day of the fourth month, Li Qin set up an altar at the foot of the Purple Mountain outside Jiangning City, and paid tribute to the first emperor Yang Guang with the heads of Yu Wenhua, Yu Wenzhi and his brothers, and killed Yuan Li, Sima Dejiao, Ling Hu Xingda and others in front of the altar to comfort the spirit of the first emperor.

On the same day, Li Qin proclaimed himself the Duke of Wu Guo, rebelled against the governor of the capital, and established the title under the Purple Mountain, and his army placed red flags all over the place, called the "Red Army".

At that time, the counties of Biling, Wujun, Yuhang, Huiji, Xuancheng, Xin'an, Sui'an and other counties near Danyang all belonged to Li Qin. In the land south of the Yangtze River, the color changes overnight.

Li Qin has owned several counties here, received millions of orders, and even got all kinds of thieves and commanders in the south of the Yangtze River, such as Wang Hua, Tie Qun, Xie Yun, etc., to lead troops to surrender.

At that time, Shen Fa, a great clan of Wuxing in the south of the Yangtze River, wanted to compete with Li Qin, but he did not want to break through Li Qin's subordinate Li Jing with the elite soldiers of Maoshan Town and surround Shen Faxing Yu Mountain. Shen Faxing was besieged for three days, hungry and thirsty, and finally surrendered.

So far, Li Qin has more than 100,000 troops and has become the strongest force of Jiangyou's generation. In the world, the king of Jiangnan regards him as having the power to go north to the Central Plains to dominate the world.

When the news came, the world shook, and even Li Valve, who was far away in Guanzhong, heard about Li Qin's reputation.

"Another tiger is coming down!" Li Yuan, the Tang King in Daxing City, heard that Li Qin had taken the essence of Jiangnan in January, and couldn't help sighing: "Li Yuanhua is really a very human being who can set up such a foundation as a town general." ”

"The general of Jiangnan, occupying several counties, is just a pride of one side, just looking at his occupation of Jiangdu and not guarding, you know that he has no big ambitions, at most he is a figure like Sun Zhongmou, just a corner of peace. The king need not be too worried. The biggest thing now is not on Li Qinqi, but on Your Majesty! ”

Pei Lian, who was following Li Yuan, heard his master sigh like this, but he smiled lightly.

There was a lot of news in March, and all the things that shook the world were basically related to Li Qin. But Pei Lin didn't look down on Li Qin, nor did he look down on Li Qin's move to occupy Jiangnan. For him, the most important thing at the moment is not Li Qin's occupation of the Jiangnan secession side, but the fact that Yang Guang died.

No matter how disgusted people in the world are with Yang Guang, they have to admit that Yang Guang is the emperor of the world. As for the people after Yang Guang, such as Yang Yu set up by Li Yuan, they are just so-called puppets. The master of Guanzhong is Li Yuan, not Yang Yu, and everyone understands this.

Li Yuanli Yang Yu is a façade erected in order to target Yang Guang. Now that Yang Guang is dead, it seems that there is no need for this façade to exist.

"It's time for that kid to make room for King Tang." After hearing the news from Jiangnan, Pei Lin first thought of this. So he hurriedly ran to see Li Yuan.

"What's wrong with Your Majesty?" Li Yuan was a little stunned for a while when he heard this.

"Yang Guang is dead, and there is no master in the world. All the people and the people hope that there will be a Ming Lord coming to the world, good morning to the world, conquest of non-subordinate, and the reunification of the sea.

If today's son is young and weak, he can't take on such a big event, only the king you have the ability and prestige, for the sake of the world, your subordinates implore Tang Guogong to accept the Sui family's Zen concession, and accept the mandate of heaven to calm the world. ”

Hearing Li Yuan's question, Pei Lian straightened his appearance, prostrate on the ground and kowtowed loudly.

"Zen Jean?" Li Yuan was stunned for a moment, but immediately understood, he nodded slightly, and whispered to Pei Lian: "For such a big thing, you have to do it without leakage." ”

"Your Majesty understands!" Pei Lin kowtowed and left with excitement on his face.

In April of the fourteenth year of the great cause of Emperor Sui and the second year of Emperor Yining of Sui Gong, in May, Yang Yu gave Li Yuan twelve crowns to build the banner of the Son of Heaven, and sent the police into the army. The name of the queen and the princess obeys the old code.

On the afternoon of Wu, Yang Yu sent an edict to send an envoy to hold the festival, and sent Xiao Zao, the prince of Liang County, and Pei Zhiyin, the secretary of Sinong Shaoqing, to serve the emperor's seal in Li Yuan. Li Yuan still gave way, and hundreds of officials persuaded him to advance, so he repeatedly followed it.

Emperor Sui was inferior to the old residence, Li Yuan changed the Daxing Hall to the Taiji Palace, that is, the emperor's throne, the founding name of the Tang Dynasty, with Li Jiancheng as the crown prince and Li Shimin as the king of Qin.

The Sui room was changed, and Li Yuan was called the emperor, which caused a lot of shock in the world.

After that, Yang Tong, the king of Yue who stayed in the eastern capital of the Sui Dynasty, was proclaimed emperor under the support of Wang Shichong and Dugu Valve and other ministers, and changed to Yuan Huangtai.

This is also a partial security regime in the eastern capital.

In fact, with the death of Yang Guang, the rebel armies of the world changed from uniting with each other to defeat the Great Sui to being hostile to each other and competing for hegemony in the world.

In order to minimize the enemy, Du Fuwei of Jianghuai and Li Mi of the Central Plains unanimously proclaimed themselves vassals to the eastern capital, and Li Mi accepted the canonization of the eastern capital and was appointed as the chief lieutenant, Shang Shuling, the marshal of the Daxingtai march in the southeast province, and the Duke of Wei. And Du Fuwei was appointed as the governor of the host, the king of Chu.

At this time, Du Fuwei, who originally wanted to go south through Jiangnan, did not dare to face Jiangnan after knowing Li Qin's power. In order to expand his power and territory, Du Fuwei decided to move westward and attack Jingling.

When the news came, Li Qin was a little anxious.

Jingling County is not an important place, but it is an important port leading to Xiangyang County and Nan County, and more importantly, there is still an important war horse resource production area such as Pegasus Ranch in Jingling County.

Li Qin received the news and hurriedly summoned his senior generals.

After experiencing the battle of Jiangdu, he was taken refuge by those ministers and generals who stayed in Jiangdu in the Sui Dynasty, and the talent pool under Li Qin's command was suddenly much richer, especially in terms of senior talents. For these newcomers, Li Qin may not trust them 100% at the moment, but he can use their ability and experience as a staff member to make a staff member for himself, and Li Qin feels that this is still okay.

Therefore, after the Battle of Jiangdu, Li Qinyi set up the Seniority Bureau and the Senate Bureau under his own rule, stuffed these officials and generals whom he felt were not very reliable, and while constantly educating them, he also gave them preferential treatment and made them make suggestions for themselves.

At present, Du Fuwei's westward advance is a military affair, and Li Qin naturally convened the Senate Bureau in charge of military affairs, which was headed by Rong Guogong to protect his son, a veteran of the Great Sui, which gathered Wu Xing, Shen Faxing, Jiangdu garrison Chen Ling and other famous generals of the Great Sui.

Li Qin asked them to sit in the lobby, and then waited for Su Dingfang, Shen Luoyan, Li Jing, Wang Hua, Tie Qun, Xie Yun, Ling Zhigao, Maozao and others.

Li Qin and the others sat down, and when they were fine, they let Feng Tianqing, who was in charge of intelligence, share the information with everyone.

"Du Fuwei went west, looking as if he was going to take Jingling, attack Pegasus Ranch and compete with the Central Plains, but I always felt that he was not so simple...... Think for me what Duvowe was doing this. After Feng Tianqing explained the information, Li Qin asked the puzzle in his heart.

"Jingling?" Lai Hu'er heard Li Qin talk about this place, and his eyes couldn't help but widen: "Du Fuwei's move must be to take Xiangyang and Nanjun...... Xiangyang is rich, and Nanjun is near the river, all of which are in our upper reaches. If Du Fuwei took Jingling and Xiangyang first. In Nanjun and other places, we can send warships down the river to attack Jiangning, and it will be difficult for us to resist Du Fuwei's troops at that time. You must know that the Yangtze River Naval Division in Nanjun is one of the three major naval divisions of the Great Sui, with dozens of building ships, nearly 100 fighting ships, and countless warships, with a total strength of about 50,000, which is a very powerful force. ”

"Nanjun still has such power? So who is in charge of South County now? Li Qin was slightly taken aback and hurriedly asked.

"Now I am afraid that the people in charge of Nanjun are Nanjun Taishou and Chen Guogong Dou Qing. He is a member of the Dou clan in Henan and the younger brother of Dou Kang. Laihu'er recalled.

"Dou Kang? I remember that a few days ago, Li Tang was the founding of the country, and he seemed to be named a master craftsman and a master by Li Yuan. Feng Tian Qingyi, who was in charge of intelligence, recalled that he found this name from his memory.

"That's him!" Lai Hu'er nodded heavily: "The title of Duke Chen Guo was originally Dou Kang's, but at the beginning of the first emperor's succession, Yang Liang, the king of Han, conspired against him, and Dou Kang was accused of conspiring with Yang Liang, so he was removed from the title. Dou Kang has an old relationship with Li Yuan, and is a member of Li Yuan's wife, the Dou family. ”

"Then what is the relationship between Dou Qing and his brother?" Li Qin asked again.

"Neither good nor bad. After all, Dou Qingke got the position of Chen Guogong because of Dou Kang's sins. If...... If Hou Ye intends to go west, I am sure to persuade Dou Qing to vote. Laifu smiled slightly and said something that surprised Li Qin.

"Are you sure?" Li Qin's eyes lit up.

"You have no jokes!" Laihu'er nodded heavily.

After seeing Li Qin's strength, he was very optimistic about Li Qin. Now Yang Guang is now, he is under Li Qin's account, although he did not directly join Li Qin's army out of various scruples, but for the sake of his family's descendants, he is still willing to contribute to Li Qin.

"In that case...... Then let's get ready to go west! Li Qin made a decision with a smile.
