Chapter 335: Yangzhou Story

When Qin Shi Huang toured Yunmeng, his subordinates were extremely skilled in the Dao of the Fang Shi Chang Sheng and the Immortal Dao once again found that the tiger was in the dragon here, and there was a king's spirit, so he reported to the First Emperor, Qin Shi Huang's courage was much better than that of King Chu Wei, and what kind of king was buried in Jinren Town

The first emperor gave an order, directly summoned people to cut off the dragon vein of Fangshan, and led the Huaishui through Jinling City to vent the king's anger, from then on, Fangshan broke the Huaishui, ran through the stone city of the tiger and the dragon, and lost the king's domineering spirit

The quiet Huai water flows silently, flowing out of the ten miles of Qinhuai River and the gold powder of the six dynasties, and the Jinling at this moment is the world of Yang Xingmi

Yang Xingmi's real name is the source of Luzhou Heqi people, it is said that he is tall, capable of lifting 100 catties, rì line 300 li, he originally came from Jianghuai group thieves after throwing into Luzhou (now Hefei) local army, although Yang Xingmi Dou big words do not know a few, but he is open-minded and generous, doing things very righteously, and soon he has a small prestige in the army, forming a small group of Luzhou people with him as the core, these people include Tian Hao, Tao Ya, Liu Wei, etc., they later became his right-hand man

Due to his bravery in the battle against the cannibal demon king Qin Zongquan, Yang Xingmi was promoted to captain, but this caused the suspicion of the general of his army, and he was also sent out in the third year of Zhonghe

And asked him what he needed with kind words, he replied: "Zhengsu Ru Tou'er" took the opportunity to cut off the head of the capital, and took advantage of the chaos and his group to control the army, claiming to be the eighth battalion of the Du Zhi soldiers and horses, Tian Hao for the eight battalions, Tao Ya for the left Chongshan, the then Luzhou Thorn Shi Lang Youfu was completely overhead, and was forced to recommend Yang Xingmi as his successor to Gao Biao, the envoy of Huainan Jiedu

Gao Biao was originally a famous general at the end of the Tang Dynasty, but at this time he was indulged in the treacherous fairy elixir combined medicine to govern the government, and the appointment of Jiān people was originally an unforgivable crime to kill the boss, it is likely that Yang Xingmi used a lot of money to impress Gao Biao, Gao Biao actually thought that he was in charge of Huainan and knew the affairs of Luzhou, and the imperial court recognized this matter

In the second year of Guangqi, Gao Biao gave Yang Xingmi a new name that made him famous all over the world, and since then he gave up Xingmi's real name, and Yang Xingmi's prestige is in the world, after getting the new name, Yang Xingmi's luck seems to have become so good that he can't stop it, and he can't go to the front of history

After the death of Gao Yu, Huainan Jiedu led to Yang, Chu, Chu, He, Lu, Shou, Shu Qizhou is a plate of scattered sand, although Yang Xingmi actively selected talents after serving as the assassin of Luzhou, and actively selected talents to crusade against the township thieves and Li Jīng Tuzhi, but at that time he was not the only one who was equal to his strength, like Shouzhou Zhang Ao's strength was also very strong, in the battle for Shuzhou, Yang Xingmi also lost to him, but at this time, God gently sent him an opportunity to control the whole of Huainan in the third year of Guangqi, Yangzhou gave birth to a mutiny, the left side of the army knew that the soldiers and horses made Bi Shiqi and the party henchmen Gao You suppressed Zhang Shenjian, Huaining Jun made Zheng Hanzhang drive away the Jianghu warlock Lu Yongzhi, who had been in trouble for several years, and imprisoned Gao Yu

When Lü Yongzhi launched a mutiny in Bi Shiyi, he asked Yang Xingmi for help in the name of Gao Piao, and Yuan Xian, a native of Lujiang, Yang Xingmi's adviser, thought that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to seize Huainan, and suggested that he go all out to attack Yang Xingmi, so he gathered all the troops in his hands, and also borrowed a part of his troops from Hezhou (now Hexian County) to assassinate Shi Sun Duan, and the soldiers were sent to the desperate Lü Yongzhi to lead the remnants to annex

At this time, the mutinous army also had a new movement, and Qin Yan, the Xuanxi Guan envoy who was cited by Bi Shiyi as an Austrian aid, was on the road, and if he entered Yangzhou, then everything Yang Xingmi did would become someone else's wedding dress; And Bi Shiyi's henchman Zhang Shenjian fell to Yang Xingmi in anger because of the issue of sharing the spoils, and the situation became very delicate

After Zhang Shenjian's defection, the future of the mutinous army seemed to be worrisome, and some of the old generals who were watching Gao Xiao, such as Hailing, suppressed the Gao Ba and local heroes, such as Liu Jin, a native of Quxi, and Jia Lingwei, a native of Xuti, all defected to Yang Xingmi's banner, and his strength also swelled to more than 17,000 people, which was enough to fight the mutiny army in Yangzhou

However, heaven is not as good as people, although Qin Yan was strongly blocked by Zhao Hui, the former Suzhou assassin Zhang Xiong's general, but still arrived in Yangzhou before Yang Xingmi

Yang Xingmi was forced to embark on a grueling siege

This battle was very hard, several victories and defeats almost changed hands, Yang Xingmi withstood the huge pressure, and finally welcomed the long-lost victory after half a year, in this half year, Qin Yan, Bi Shidi, most of the dozens of battles lost, and also killed Gao Piao, but what was announced to the outside world was Gao Piao's death, but it still made Yang Xingmi gain a moral advantage in vain, under this situation, Yangzhou could no longer hold on, Qin Yan, Bi Shidi, and the remnants fled to Dongtang

Before the war, there were 77,150 households in Yangzhou, with a population of 467,857, but after the war, there were only a few hundred left, and they were all tortured by hunger like living skeletons, and the brutal Xuanzhou army slaughtered living people like pigs and sheep as military food, and the city was full of corpses and blood, Yangzhou became a hell

Yang Xingmi used his own military rations to help the refugees in this situation, which can be said to be a good governance after the catastrophe, Yangzhou is regaining prosperity, as long as it continues like this, it seems that there is no problem with his throne as the king of Huainan

But there are unforeseen circumstances in the sky, when Yang Xingmi secretly rejoices, the biggest star in his life is approaching, the biggest cannibal demon king of the five generations, Qin Zongquan has repeatedly lost in the contest with Zhu Wen, and decided to come to Huainan again to change his luck, this time he has invested a lot of money, the whole army has a total of more than 50,000 people, the commander is the general, Sun Ru is menacing

Because Yang Xingmi was not wary of Qin Zongquan, and his subordinates were already tired from a long battle, they were forced to retreat in Yangzhou

At this time, Qin Zongquan could not resist the fierce offensive of Luo Houfang, Wen Chong, Cheng Zhiyuan, and Sanzhou, so he had to order to recruit Sun Ru's department, but the ideal was very plump, the reality was very skinny, Sun Ru knew that Qin Zongquan could no longer become a climate, and wanted to set up his own door in Huainan, and took the opportunity to kill Qin Zongheng's herald, and followed Sun Ru to fight Jianghuai, another member of Qin Zongquan's army, An Renyi, surrendered to Yang Xingmi

The brutal Sun Ru burned and robbed in the rich Huainan, and his strength soared to tens of thousands, and the Tang Dynasty was known for being tough in the Caizhou Diao army, and now there is a Xiao general, Sun Ru is the commander, which has caused great pressure on Yang Xingmi, Sun Ru's army moved along the canal, Gaoyou (now Gaoyou), the whole city was slaughtered, and the situation in Hailing (now Taizhou) was also urgent for a while, and several key points on the periphery of Yangzhou were in a hurry, and if the periphery was all swept away, Yangzhou would become an isolated and helpless dead city
