Chapter 182: Mountains and rivers split, the army returns north

"On the third day of the first month of December, Zhou Faxing and Xu Shiji, two generals, the Shuai Shui Division, went south along the canal, defeated Zhu Xie's army in Wu County, killed more than 20,000 enemies, captured 10,000, the next day the soldiers came to Yuhang, besieged the city for two days, Liu Yuanjin led the crowd to break through to Jian'an to defend to the death, was lured out of the city by General Xu Shiji's design, with the cooperation of the soldiers and horses of Poyang and Linchuan counties, Liu Yuanjin and Guan Chong's soldiers were defeated and died, and more than 30,000 people surrendered."

"On November 25, Li Zitong fought against Xu Yuanlang, Li Zitong was defeated and killed, Xu Yuanlang was mainly anti-guest, with 100,000 troops, called the King of Huai!"

"On November 27, Du Fuwei captured Lujiang, and his sphere of influence rose again, and there were signs of being the king!"

"On the first day of December, Xiao Mo claimed to have 200,000 troops in Xiangcheng to rebel, and the next day he captured Xiangyang in one fell swoop, and the army looked at Jiangling!"

On the same day, Liu Wuzhou killed Ma Yi Taishou, opened a warehouse to help the poor, and got more than 10,000 soldiers, calling himself Taishou. Send envoys to attach themselves to the Turks. Chen Xiaoyi and Hu Ben general Wang Zhi of Yanmen County won a big victory in Sangqian Town. Now threaten Fenyang Palace! ”

"The emperor's grandson was proclaimed emperor by Kong Yingda and hundreds of civil and military officials, and the text was passed on to the world, ordering the local princes and vassal kings to enter Beijing to pay respects!"

"On December 5th, Yue Wang Dong was enshrined as emperor in the east by Wang Shichong, Yuan Wendu and Lu Chu, and also announced to the world that the vassal kings from all over the country were invited to pay their respects!"

Everyone looked at the news in their hands, and their hearts were both shocked and really like this, Yang Xuan had already told them that the world would be chaotic sooner or later, and they could guess one or two, but they didn't expect it to come so quickly, and the time was so concentrated, it seemed to be a good discussion, which caught people off guard, of course, Pei Ju and the courtiers of Yuan Yang Guang couldn't believe it, they didn't expect that a good country would fall apart overnight, and this shock came too suddenly. And what shocked them the most was the channel through which Yang Jun got the news, and he was able to get the news so quickly.

"Tell me, whatever you think, you can say it!" Yang Yun also got the news last night, and he also habitually convened everyone to discuss it together, but Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and Li Jing, who had an overall strategic vision, were missing, and even Xu Shiji was not there, and he didn't expect these people to have any clever opinions.

"Lord Wang, Xu Yuanlang escaped from the hands of my old Cheng, and I have an unshirkable responsibility, but he knows that the prince is in Jiangdu but still dares to call the king, obviously he doesn't put the prince in his eyes, his subordinates ask for war, and give me Lao Cheng a team of men and horses to definitely dedicate Xu Yuanlang's head to the prince!" Among these news, the only thing that could directly relate to him was Xu Yuanlang's escape from him, so he was the first to come out and ask for war without hesitation.

"This is not in a hurry, Xu Yuanlang can't set off a big wave, let him jump for two days first, and wait for the Mao Gong class master to clean up Shen Faxing before cleaning him up." Now that he has obtained Jiangdu, it is impossible to let go of the surrounding rich area, although it has only just begun to develop at this time, but the geographical advantage is definitely much stronger than Licheng, and even Qingzhou can become prosperous, not to mention the Jiangnan area. However, Yang Jun has been angry that Shen Faxing has not come to return to obedience, and even Yang Yichen, who is in charge of 100,000 troops, is interested in surrendering, does he Shen Faxing still want him to invite him personally? For this kind of uninteresting, Yang Jian can only beat him to obedience.

"Lord Wang, let your subordinates go down!" Qin Shubao and Luo Shixin both asked for battle.

"No need, this king has already passed the book to Mao Gong, let him bring Shen Faxing back by the way when he is a teacher!" Yang Jian waved his hand, Xu Shiji and they should also be a teacher, so they will destroy Shen Faxing by the way, saving him from sending another team.

"I don't know what Boss Pei thinks is wrong?" Seeing Pei Ju frowning and thinking, Yang Jun asked.

"The minister has two doubts!" Pei Ju heard Yang Jun's inquiry, and replied after coming back to his senses.

"Oh? But it doesn't hurt to say it! "Yang Jun is not surprised at all, Pei Ju is a little expected after all, otherwise he would not have such a reputation inside and outside the court.

"First, the emperor's grandson and Yue Wang Dong have both been proclaimed emperors, I don't know what the prince has planned? Is it going to meet or ......" Pei Ju's words were asked in everyone's hearts, and they all waited for Yang Jun's answer calmly, as for the words that were not explained later, everyone also knew that they were asking Yang Jun if he wanted to be the emperor.

"Second, I don't know what the change in the customs mentioned in this news means?" Pei Ju pointed to the situation in Guanzhong mentioned above and asked.

"Regarding the two nephews of this king to be called emperors, they are not right, there is no edict left before the death of the emperor, they are like Yang Hao who was forced to the throne of God, so this king will not recognize their legitimate throne, not to mention that they are still young, how can this king know if they are controlled by others? Did Kong Yingda, Wang Shichong and others have Cao Mengde's moves? Of course, if I can prosper again in their hands, this king will also choose one to support, after all, it is his own nephew! ”

The first half of what Yang Jin said is still very reasonable, but he despises the second half, you Yang Jin is now the existence of a hegemon, the strength of the entire Great Sui has few opponents, and the implementation of benevolent government, if you want to establish yourself as the emperor, presumably the responders are even worse, in other words, even if Yang Jin is willing to give up the existing rights, but who is willing to have such a threat? Not to mention that his subordinates were the first not to allow him to hand over power.

"As for the news in Guanzhong, it is because after the rebellion of Yang Xuangan in Guanzhong, this king paid special attention to the situation there." Yang Jian is reluctant to say it explicitly, and only he can know what the abnormal movement in Guanzhong refers to, but it is obvious that Li Xiuning (the original name is not examinable, borrowing the name given to Qi'an by Master Huang Yi) is still a little girl, so there is someone else in Guanzhong, but Yang Jin is not sure if that person is Li Shimin.

Since Yang Jun refused to say, everyone was not easy to ask, and Yang Jun seemed to have no intention of becoming the emperor for the time being, although they wanted to be the ministers of the dragon, but Yang Jun did not express his position, and the current situation was not clear, and they did not feel pity.

Five days later, Jiangdu ushered in a heavy snowfall, and riding the wind and snow, the sailor also returned triumphantly. Seeing that the more the year passes, the soldier's heart to return to his hometown is also stronger, Yang Jun also misses his wife at home, the matter here has basically been dealt with, Yang Jun can return to Licheng with confidence, just when the heavy snow is coming, when the sailor returns, Cheng Yanjin and Zhang Xutuo led the army to take advantage of the cover of the heavy snow to go out to Xu Yuanlang, although the heavy snow is not conducive to the march, but there is an advantage that Xu Yuanlang can be surprised to give a surprise attack.

"The matter of Jiangdu will be handed over to General Zhou and Mao Gong, Du Fuwei's side can surrender as much as possible, and if there is less war, it can reduce the disaster of the people, if it really can't be done, defend first, if you have the opportunity, you can cut it first." He is still very relieved to hand over Jiangdu to Xu Shiji and Zhou Faxing, as long as they do not rush in, and there are no forces around that can threaten Jiangdu, as long as Xu Yuanlang is exterminated, Licheng and Jiangdu can be connected, and then Yang Jin's sphere of influence can go from Shandong to Fujian, becoming the largest warlord in the entire Great Sui, and then it will look better from the perspective of territorial area.

"Yes, the subordinates (the last general) will definitely live up to the prince's trust!" Zhou Faxing and Xu Shiji both solemnly promised.

The New Year was approaching, and as soon as the snow stopped, the weather was still gray, so Yang Yun handed over Jiangdu to Xu Shiji and Zhou Faxing, and then led the remaining 100,000 troops and 200,000 surrendered troops to return to the north, leaving only 50,000 sailors and 50,000 soldiers in Jiangdu.
