Chapter 1308: Sweeping the World (8)
Liu Chengren was full of admiration for Li Qingxuan, but he didn't expect her wrist to be so smart. Vertex. Fastest updates
He remembered the allusion of buying a horse with a thousand dollars, Li Qingxuan gave these people such a heavy reward, and he would barely be able to spread the praises in the future.
Which city to attack again, it is conceivable to take the initiative to open the door.
"High!"
He sighed in his heart, since he has surrendered, then adjust his mentality and prepare to help the new imperial court make contributions!
Li Qingxuan arranged him to the logistics department, gave full play to his expertise, and became a senior engineer to build ships and artillery for the army.
He was originally a disciple of the Mo family, and he was good at these things. Let him defend the city and fight, it is still difficult for him.
The first task Liu Chengren took over was to build the first bridge across the river.
The supplies of the army, which were transported by naval warships, were far less convenient than those transported by bridges.
This bridge between the two sides of the river, which is thousands of miles away, was put in the past, but no one dared to think about it.
Li Qingxuan gave him plenty of time, and he was not in a hurry to let him build it. Anyway, ask for money for money, ask people for people, and strive to complete it in the shortest possible time.
Originally, Liu Chengren was not sure, but Li Qingxuan gave him a cheat book and helped him a lot.
That is the bridge building book brought from the earth, which really opened Liu Chengren's eyes.
In the past, the bridges were all wooden structures, and no one thought that they were made of steel.
If this is the case, the service life of the bridge can be greatly enhanced.
Moreover, Gillian, the general of the navy, also told him about the water god seal. When building a bridge, you can use the Water God Seal to help him mobilize the water veins at will.
Piles were needed to build the piers, and she was able to open half of the waterway so that the water of the river could flow through the other half.
Build this half, and start building the other half.
Liu Chengren was very excited in his heart, with these two things, his confidence increased greatly, and he also contacted his former disciples, as well as his fellow disciples to come over to help.
During these days, the old man was in good spirits, as if he had returned to his youth, and he didn't even know how to sleep at night.
On the issue of dealing with the defeated army, Li Qingxuan was also extraordinarily generous.
The city is known as a million defense army, with more than 500,000 regular troops and 500,000 militiamen.
Among the regular army, 100,000 chose to return to their hometowns, and each of them received ten medium-grade spirit stones as travel expenses.
It's equivalent to, a thousand dollars.
Everyone praised the benevolence and righteousness of the Qing Emperor, and within three days, the crowd outside the city dispersed.
These people are all free propagandists arranged by Li Qingxuan.
Without them, the ghost would have known how Jingzhou had been defeated. As soon as they advertised, the other cities were mentally prepared.
At the very least, let everyone know that the Southern Tang Army is a benevolent and righteous army, and will not kill innocents indiscriminately, and will also give money and land.
As soon as Jingzhou City was taken, the county towns on all sides surrendered and those who abandoned the city were all taken.
The territory within a radius of 10,000 miles was occupied by the Southern Tang Army in less than a week.
The landlords were powerful, and the land, houses, and everything of the local sects were confiscated and confiscated.
The land annexation problem of the Tang Kingdom all started because of them, and naturally ended because of them.
The forces of resistance in various places basically belong to them.
Half a month later, the Southern Tang Army gained a firm foothold on the northern bank. As Li Yuancheng expected, it will not work without a decisive battle.
If you choose to defend the city, the Southern Tang Army will take Jingzhou as a base and encroach step by step, and sooner or later it will be a death.
If it is a decisive battle, there may be a glimmer of life.
Chang'an edict was issued, and the armies from all over the country gathered together, and there were already more than three million.
Li Yuancheng is preparing to fight this time, and is leading the army to Jingzhou.
After discussing with the generals, Li Qingxuan decided to set up a defense at Qingshan Pass in the north of Jingzhou and fight a decisive battle with the enemy here.
Qingshan Pass is the gateway to the north of Jingzhou, located between the two mountains, and the two sides of the pass are flat, which is very conducive to the decisive battle.
From Chang'an to Nanyang County, and then from Nanyang County back to Chang'an.
Li Qingxuan has walked this step for hundreds of years, and she is about to return to the place where she grew up, and her heart is full of ups and downs.
The night general, Li Qingxuan stood on the top of the mountain, looking at Chang'an City in the north, his eyes shining.
Blue Phoenix found her and draped her over a white cloak.
The weather in Jiangbei is colder than in Jiangnan, and the wind is strong on the mountain, and it is cold on the body.
Li Qingxuan sighed at her, "Phoenix, do you want your hometown?"
Blue Phoenix smiled, "Of course I think about it, even after so many years, I don't know what my hometown has become!"
Li Qingxuan said with a smile, "Although your little world is smaller, it is very easy to live in it." It's not like here, it's so big that you can't see the edge! ”
Blue Phoenix smiled, "Blue Emperor, why are you so emotionally moved today?" ”
Li Qingxuan said, "It's nothing, it's just that I feel that things are wrong, and it's just a little nostalgia!" ”
Blue Phoenix smiled and said to her, "By the way, the sect master is coming over later, do you want to greet the Blue Emperor?" ”
"Is he coming?"
Li Qingxuan's eyes widened and said happily, "You girl, why didn't you say it earlier!" ”
She pulled the blue phoenix and immediately stepped down the mountain.
Stepping on the lotus flower is like walking on a road paved with lotus flowers.
Blue Phoenix was surprised for a while, and her heart always regarded Li Qingxuan as a mortal monarch, forgetting that she was also a monk.
Not long after the two returned to the camp, auspicious clouds suddenly fell from the sky. There is a petal fantasy when it falls in the air, and then the figures of Qin Feng and Lin Nan are revealed.
The generals below immediately bent down to pay homage, and Li Qingxuan looked at them and smiled, excited in his heart.
After so many days, I finally looked forward to this guy.
After Qin Feng and Lin Nan landed, they waved their hands to let the generals get up and entered the military tent under Li Qingxuan's greeting.
Shuang'er immediately served tea, and Li Qingxuan personally served it to the two of them, and asked them, "Husband, sister, why are you here?" ”
Her little mouth is really sweet.
Lin Nan smiled and said to her, "The husband calculated that the enemy has a master who will be revealed in front of the battle, so he specially came over to help!" ”
"Superior?"
Li Qingxuan frowned and said, "Isn't it just a bunch of Confucian disciples, what other masters will there be?"
Qin Feng took a sip of tea and smiled softly, "Confucian disciples are not powerful, but the seventy-two disciples of the Confucian sage are combined, and the strength is not so simple!" ”
Li Qingxuan scolded, "These sour and stinky Confucian students, when I take Chang'an, I have to smash their Confucian Temple!" ”
Qin Feng and Lin Nan smiled and instructed her, "I heard that you just recruited two Water and Fire Dao people and brought them over, I have something to tell them!" ”
"Okay, husband, wait a minute!"
Li Qingxuan came out of the military tent and asked people to immediately notify the water and fire people to come over.
She was depressed for a while, and finally came to visit, not talking to her daughter-in-law, but looking for two men. This husband is a big wood.
