Zhongli County Guard, Cen Wenwen hurriedly came to Yang Tong's side, and said in a deep voice: "Shengshang, General Zhang Zhenzhou sent a letter, saying that many dock forts in Wu County refused to go out, not only did they not cooperate, but also emptied the official warehouses and Yicang in various places. Even if he persuaded him politely, he was unwilling to return the money and grain from the official warehouse and the righteous warehouse. ”

The fort was originally a stronghold established by the people of the north to escape the war and thieves, and was surrounded by fences or walls, some of which were based on villages and some of which were of a clan. There are dozens of small households, and large ones have hundreds or thousands, almost a city in disguise. However, this kind of dock fort is really rare in the south of the Yangtze River, but since the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the world has been in turmoil, and there are countless anti-thieves and thieves, and some families in the south also have similar places to avoid trouble. As early as the Taiping years of the Great Sui Dynasty, all parts of the south of the Yangtze River were under the control of the scholars, and the officials who were in the same mood also turned a blind eye to many dock forts that were out of courtesy, as long as these did not rebel, they naturally didn't bother to pay attention to them.

"Expected." Yang Tong smiled coldly, "Zhang Zhen encountered countless conspiracies and tricks on the road on Monday, what is this kind of thing." ”

"The saint is saying, let General Zhang kill the dock fort?" Cen Wenwen understood what Yang Tong meant.

Yang Tong smiled: "The army is on the side and dares to rob the official warehouse and the righteous warehouse, how greedy these people must be." If an army is transferred back, I'm afraid it will be a hundred times greater, since they handed over the handle of the knife, why didn't I stab it? ”

Zhang Zhenzhou divided his troops to recover the eight southern counties occupied by Li Mi, and the counties were intimidated by the military might of the Great Sui, and the people's hearts were inclined to the Great Sui, so many restless people did not dare to touch it, but there were many intrigues and tricks in the secret. Zhang Zhen's trip only relied on military might, and he recovered the entire territory of Danyang, Xuancheng, and Biling counties, and almost did not encounter decent resistance, but most of the wealthy families in many places had bad intentions. Zhang Zhenzhou stationed the army outside the city, first, he was worried that the army would enter the city and cause unnecessary panic and trouble; The second is also to give these people a chance to plot, so that the court has a reason to clean them up, after all, it is related to the stability of their own country, if the army sweeps all the way, every county surrenders, and after the army leaves, these people will immediately remain the same, do not know how to restrain the local people, and continue to disobey the imperial decrees.

At present, there is an army that is not yet tight, but if the army retreats, it will be much more difficult for the local officials to bring them to justice after taking office, and besides, for the sake of their own political achievements, the local officials have always only sought local stability, as long as these people cause a big problem for themselves, most of them will not see it, as for the trouble, it will be left to the next term, and even many officials have befriended them and obtained money from them. Everyone has this heart, so the local heroes and unscrupulous people can sit big, and the suffering people think that the court officials are like birds, so they naturally aim their hatred at the court.

In short, local tyrants and bullies are related to the reputation of the imperial court, and many local officials are heading for the point of no return, also because these people's sugar-coated shells are too sharp, so how dare Yang Dong take it lightly? And since these people have died themselves, then there is a reason to clean them up.

"Send an eagle letter to Zhang Zhenzhou." Yang Tong thought for a while and said: "I am very dissatisfied with these outlaws, no matter what he does, as long as it is beneficial to the court and the people, I will not interfere, and even give him the greatest connivance!" The dead soldiers of all families and ethnic groups were all moved to the Central Plains for resettlement, and those who dared to resist were slaughtered. ”

"Whoa."

Cen Wenwen felt silent in his heart for these people who did not know the general trend, the current emperor was not the first emperor, he had no gentle patience for the family lords in Jiangnan, these people really believed the content of the thief's inscription, thinking that the imperial court wanted to seek justice for the Jiangnan Dashi clan who died at the hands of Li Mi, don't they know that the emperor they believe in is the culprit behind Li Mi's massacre of the Jiangnan Shi clan. And those family gate valves and local heroes in Jingzhou have no reason to be killed by the military department from among the people, and these people in Jiangnan are not aware of the emperor's attitude towards the family gate valves due to the lack of information, and they actually have the audacity to encroach on official property, what is this not looking for death? In the end, greed hurts people.

Not long after Cen Wenwen left, Fang Xuanling walked inside, handed over a battle report, bowed and saluted: "Qi Qi Sheng, the left servant has sent good news." ”

"So fast?"

Yang Tong took the battle report, browsed it, and said with great joy: "Jiang is still old and spicy, the veteran is a top two, Xu Shiji was captured, and Li Mi can be decided." ”

Xu Shiji's 'surrender' means that Huaibei no longer has any forces that can affect the stability of the Central Plains except for Li Mi, who is shrinking in Huaiyang. He knew that Yang Gongren, who had a lot of soldiers and generals, could easily deal with Xu Shiji, but he didn't expect that Xu Shiji, who was famous for thousands of years, was caught like this, and the big stone in his heart finally fell.

At this time, he was like Cao Cao before Chibi, his power ran through the Yellow River, dominating the world, but Cao Cao was defeated in Chibi, and Yang Tong was also worried that he would become a failed Cao Cao, but with the name of Xu Shiji will be captured, Li Mi is almost the elite is lost, Li Mi is no longer worth mentioning, as long as Li Mi is completely defeated, he can focus on the battle of Sui and Tang, as for Lin Shihong, Meng Haigong, Feng Ang and others, only need to send a general to be flattened, and there is no need for him, the emperor.

"Holy." At this time, Yin Mingyue suddenly walked in quickly, and said in a crisp voice: "I just received a message from General Qin, please take a look." ”

"Oh?"

Yang Tong was stunned for a moment, could it be Lin Shihong who caused trouble?

So I took it and looked at it closely, and my expression was weird.

This was an unexpected success.

However, because Qin Qiong sent 30,000 troops to support General Yao Junsu in the battle, in order to hide people's eyes and ears and deceive Li Mi's meticulous work, he declared with great fanfare that the Tang army was attacking; With the departure of the army, Lin Shihong mistakenly thought that Tang and Wei joined forces to attack the Sui, and the Sui army was not in a good position, which also made the Jiujiang army, which had been strictly defended for more than half a year, slack. Seeing this, Qin Qiong simply planned with General Pei Renji, the secretary of the military department, so he set up a suspicious formation, claiming that General Duan Decao was defeated, and the two pretended to support, and Lin Shihong believed it to be true. Five days ago, General Qin crossed the river overnight, settled Jiujiang in a battle, and severely damaged Lin Shihong's army in Huangcheng Water Village, chasing and killing hundreds of miles all the way, killing more than 20,000 enemies, capturing nearly 60,000 Lin Shihong's sailors, and seizing weapons, grain, grass and countless warships.

When Lin Shihong fled to Wangfu Mountain, where Jiujiang and Yuzhang were at the junction, he learned that Pei Renji sent troops from Baling and captured the capital Yuzhang City, and the vast land west of Ganshui belonged to the Great Sui. After this battle, Lin Shihong's main force was mourned and there would be no more action. His army was concentrated in Poyang County, and Qin Qiong was at ease, and there were almost no soldiers to fight in Yichun, Linchuan, Luling, and Nankang that he occupied, as long as Pei Renji waved his troops south from Yuzhang, the effect was almost the same as that of Zhang Zhenzhou, just take over.

"Holy ......?" Fang Xuanling next to him was in a hurry, and his heart was hanging.

The Great Sui is now powerful in the world, making Xiao Xiao look at it and be afraid, the key is that the Sui army has never been defeated, and the momentum of the world makes people feel cold, since the rise of Yang Tong, the Great Sui has maintained a complete victory in internal and external records, and what has been killed are hard bones that are difficult to gnaw.

Whether it is the Eastern Turkic, Western Turkic, Goguryeo, Tuyuhun of the external enemy, or the internal Dou Jiande and Li Yuan, they are all the overlords of that field, and they are all famous, but when the Great Sui cleaned them up, it was like the autumn wind sweeping away the leaves, which can be described as attacking the city and plundering the land, invincible. Therefore, the alien races respect the Great Sui and fear the Great Sui, and in the face of the flower world of the Great Sui, they no longer dare to covet it at all. And Li Yuan and other rebels, because of the Great Sui's series of brilliant achievements, never dared to take the initiative to attack, but if the Great Sui was defeated, the awe and fear of the internal and external enemies would be reduced, and there would even be the idea of 'the Great Sui is nothing more than this', which directly led to the occurrence of war.

Of course, the Great Sui is not afraid, with the current strength of the Great Sui, and there are no strong internal and external enemies, he is not afraid of any forces at all, but half of the territory of the Great Sui is a mess, and there are too many places that need money, so everyone does not want to waste financial and material resources to fight some unnecessary battles. Therefore, the Great Sui must not be defeated now, only by always being undefeated, can we always deter the world, always grasp the initiative to wage war, fight whoever we want, and wait until the world is unified and recovers to a certain extent, it doesn't matter how many defeats we have.

Fang Xuanling was silent when he saw that Yang Tong received Qin Qiong's battle report, with a strange and shocked look on his face, and even mistakenly thought that Qin Qiong had been defeated, so he was very anxious.

"Shubao annihilated Lin Shihong's main force in Jiujiang, Pei Shangshu fought together and captured Yuzhang, Lin Shihong is not far from death." Yang Tong said with a smile.

"Lin Shihong is also defeated?" Fang Xuanling said overjoyed.

"That's right." Yang Tong read Qin Qiong's battle report, and then said: "Shu Bao and Pei Shangshu only destroyed the enemy and captured 120,000 people with less than 10,000 injuries, this battle is not not brilliant. ”

"Great." Fang Xuanling rejoiced, with Zhongli's 'big victory', the forces of all parties seemed to be collapsing step by step, and the unification of the world was not far away, he suggested: "Shengshang, Lin Shihong has been defeated, he can't let him grow again, the minister suggested that this news should be passed on to General Zhang Zhenzhou immediately, and let him personally lead the main force to attack Poyang from Xuancheng County, and unite with General Qin to annihilate Lin Shihong here, while Pei Shangshu is to seize the four counties of Yichun, Linchuan, Luling, and Nankang, which are empty of troops. ”

"Xuan Ling's words are extremely true, this Lin Shihong has been rampant for a long time, but it's not just Lin Shihong, the world has been chaotic for too long, and I don't want to delay anymore if I don't have time. Tell Shubao, Pei Shangshu, and General Zhang respectively: I want the whole south, let them destroy Lin Shihong, and leave Pei Shangshu to sweep the tail, and Shubao and General Zhang will take advantage of the great victory and take down Meng Haigong. Rest for a month in Jian'an County, and enter Lingnan by land and water. ”

"Whoa"

Fang Xuanling responded, and then said: "Holy Lord, since all walks of life have won great victories, Li Mi should also die, as long as Li Mi is finished, we can annihilate Li Yuan in Xiangyang with the absolute strength of hundreds of thousands of heroes, and strive to unify the world at the end of the year." ”

"Holy Lord, you can indeed launch a general attack on Li Mi." Yin Mingyue on the side also said.

As soon as Li Mi died, more than 400,000 troops led by Li Jing, Yang Gongren, Wei Chigong, Du Fuwei, and Yao Junsu could all be assembled in Huai'an and Nanyang.

Hearing this, Yang Tong thought for a while, and said to Fang Xuanling: "Xuanling, I plan to rush back to Huaiyang overnight, meet Li Mi, the hero of the Central Plains, for a while, and then go to Nanyang to prepare for the Sui and Tang wars. ”

"Whoa." Fang Xuanling was ordered.
