Chapter Twenty-Eight: Xiao Milling Lost His Fear
The court meeting in Jiangdu Palace lasted for about half an hour, and the two things of rewarding the generals under Yang Gao and mobilizing the army to protect the children had no conflict of interest for most of the officials in Jiangdu City, so they didn't pay much attention to these two things.
Only Yuwen said that after the court meeting dispersed, his whole person was trembling when he walked out of the Daxing Palace.
Yuwenshu has followed Yang Guang for decades, and from Yang Guang's actions today, he has seen that Yang Guang has plans to pass on the throne to Yang Gao. What's more, Yang Gao is leading the troops outside, and the Xiaoguo Army is no longer under his control, and the things he has painstakingly planned for decades now seem to be getting farther and farther away from him!
No, I will never let my decades of hard work go to waste, Yang Gao, you must die no matter what!
Yu Wenshu clenched his fists, and a terrifying murderous intent appeared on his originally sick face at this time!
........
In Jiangling City, the news of the annihilation of Dong Jingzhen's entire army has come back, which is tantamount to an eight-magnitude earthquake for the entire Xiaoliang high-level.
Xiao Mo held the information with trembling hands, and said with a slightly hideous face: "What is this Dong Jingzhen doing, the 100,000 army, and the benefits of the city, are actually wiped out in less than a month, what is in his mind?" ”
Although Xiao Mo did plan to destroy Dong Jingzhen with the hands of the Sui army, what he hoped was that the Sui army and Dong Jingzhen could fight and lose both, and the winning side would also be greatly injured. But the current situation is that the Sui army almost wiped out Dong Jingzhen with a flat push, and also incorporated nearly 70,000 surrendered troops, and his power increased instead of decreasing, which made him a little crazy!
The subordinates also looked at each other, all of them dumbfounded, looking incredulous.
Xiao Mo glanced at the people at the bottom of the stairs with some dissatisfaction, and said sharply: "The Sui army is pressing the border, and I ask you, how to resist the Sui army going south?" ”
Xiao Miao's chief strategist Cen Wenwen came out of class and said: "Liang Gong, although the Sui army has achieved a great victory in Dangyang, they have collected nearly 70,000 soldiers, and it is impossible to completely collect these tens of thousands of troops for their own use, so Wei Chen thinks that the Sui army will not go south for the time being." ”
"That's great!" After listening to Cen Wenwen's words, Xiao Mo let go of a hanging heart slightly, "Order the garrisons of the five counties of Yueyang, Hengshan, Changsha, Guiyang, and Wuling to immediately go north to defend Jiangling, and they want to fight Yang Gao Xiao'er to the death..."
"Report, Liang Gong, it's not good!"
Before Xiao Mo finished speaking, a scout suddenly broke in, "Qi Liang Gong, Yang Gao has led an army of 100,000 people to leave Dangyang City, and its front vanguard Long Zhi is already less than one hundred and fifty miles away from Jiangling!" ”
"What?"
Xiao Miao's eyes widened, and he shouted in disbelief.
"Report, Qi Liang Gong, urgent military situation, Jiangxia Lai Hu'er led 30,000 troops down the river and approached Yueyang!"
Boom, another thunderbolt struck Xiao Miao's head, and Xiao Miao's ruddy and shiny face turned gray in an instant. After standing in a daze for a long time, Xiao Mo suddenly yelled at Cen Wenwen as if he was crazy: "Mr. Cen, didn't you say that it would take at least two months for the Sui army to reorganize and surrender to the south, what is going on?" ”
"It's... This..."Cen was speechless for a while, not knowing what to do.
"Hmph." Xiao Mo glanced at Cen Wenwen with great dissatisfaction, "It seems that Gu'er attacked Yueyang to cut off Gu's back road and trap Gu in Jiangling. How could Lone let them get their wish, and ordered the whole army to retreat to Yueyang, and take advantage of the Yuanjiang River to resist the Sui army. “
When Cen Wenwen heard this, he was immediately shocked, and hurriedly admonished: "Lord, Jiangling City is high and deep, there are still 40,000 defenders in the city, most of the Sui army is our Liang army, and the combat power is not strong, only we are holding the city, and the Sui army will definitely fall under the city!" ”
"Liang Gong, what Mr. Cen said is very true, Jiangling is my old capital of Xiao Liang, don't lose it!" Xu Xuanche, the general of the military generals, came out of the ranks and echoed.
"Quack, quack!"
A burst of yin and yang strange laughter suddenly sounded in the hall, and Zheng Wenxiu, who had always disagreed with Cen Wenwen and Xu Xuanche, came out and said to Cen Wenwen: "Why is Mr. Cen so sure that the Sui army can't take Jiangling, I remember just now Mr. Cen swore that the Sui army would not go south, if Mr. Cen made a mistake in judgment, wouldn't it put Liang Gong in danger?" “
"You..." Cen Wenwen trembled angrily, pointing at Zheng Wenxiu speechless.
"No need to say it!" Xiao Mo suddenly stood up and said loudly: "The lonely mind has been decided, the whole army will withdraw from Jiangling and move the capital to Changsha!" ”
"Liang Gong is wise!" Zheng Wenxiu glanced at Cen Wenwen and Xu Xuanche quite proudly, and said.
Xu Xuanche and Cen Wenwen glanced at each other helplessly, and then arched their hands and said, "We obey orders!" ”
。。。。。。。。。。
On the same day, Xiao Mo withdrew from Jiangling City in a hurry with tens of thousands of troops and a group of Xiao Liang civil and military forces, and crossed the Yuan River in the starry night. The generals Xu Xuanche and Zheng Wenxiu were left to garrison Yueyang, and he withdrew to Changsha County with a group of Xiao Liang elders.
Xiao Mo fled without a fight, and Yang Gao immediately led the army to occupy Jiangling City, while going out to settle the people, and cleaning up Xiao Miao's spies left in Jiangling. He also escorted Dong Lin, who was imprisoned in Dangyang County, to Jiangling and beheaded him to show that he had won the hearts of the people.
Jiangling is the former capital of Xiao Liang, and Xiao Mian also has plans to make this the capital, so he hoarded a large amount of ordnance materials in Jiangling City. And when Xiao Mo retreated to Jiangling, he was too anxious, so all the materials he hoarded were cheaper than Yang Gao.
Looking at the mountains of granaries in front of him, the arsenals lined with swords and guns, Yang Gao couldn't help but turn around and smile at the crowd of civil and military personnel: "This Xiao Mo is really considerate, first sent 70,000 soldiers to Gu, and was afraid that Gu would not be able to raise 70,000 horses, and also sent so much grain, grass and ordnance to Gu, what a lonely transport captain!" ”
"Hahaha, what Your Highness said is extremely true!"
Xue Rengui, Li Siye and others all echoed and laughed. Only Yu Yunwen frowned, and arched his hand and said: "Your Highness, although Xiao Mo left in a hurry, he could have burned these things in one go, but he abandoned so many strategic materials, which means that he probably still has a large amount of food and ordnance in his hands, and we can't relax our vigilance!" “
Yang Gao nodded and said: "What the military advisor said is very true, my father has always been committed to the development of the south, and it is not uncommon for him to have a large amount of military supplies, but..."
Yang Gao suddenly changed his words, "No matter how good the equipment is, it needs to be used, he Xiao Mill has so many materials and has not been driven out of Jiangling by Lone, Lone believes that with your help, the elimination of Xiao Mill is just around the corner!" ”
"What His Highness said is very true, the last general is not talented, I am willing to lead an elite army as a vanguard to capture Xiao Miao's traitor alive for His Highness!"
As soon as Yang Gao's words fell, he saw a general who was more than eight feet tall and had a tiger's back and waist standing tall from the ranks of military generals, and bowed down to ask for orders.
