Chapter 1423: The Great Zhou Clan Scatters the Wild
From Hongzhou to Jiangzhou, at least two large rivers must be crossed, one is Ganshui and the other is Xiushui.
However, Jiangzhou's logistics supply has a total of two source directions, one is Jinling and the other is Hongzhou.
After Li Zhongyi led the naval division to attack Jinling and marched west to Chizhou, the eastern source of supplies for Lin Renzhao had been completely cut off.
The remaining supply channel to the south was also basically cut off because of the fall of Hongzhou.
If Lin Renzhao was not a fool, he would either choose to fight Yang Lie as soon as possible, or simply take refuge in Li Zhongyi.
However, when Li Zhongyi had just crossed Xiushui, he suddenly received a military report from Yang Lie: After Lin Renzhao received the news of the fall of Hongzhou, since he did not choose to surrender, he did not take the initiative to start a decisive battle with Yang Lie, and actually led all the sailors of the Southern Tang Dynasty to drive to the west.
According to Yang Lie's guess, Lin Renzhao should have wanted to take refuge in Meng Chang, the lord of Shu, and the big gift he brought was the 80,000 elite Southern Tang Sailors!
Li Zhongyi let out a long sigh, Nima, he and Yang Lie have been busy for so long, who would have thought that Lin Renzhao was as cunning as a fox, and he actually came up with a "good idea" of taking the water division to join the Shu Kingdom.
According to Yang Lie's instructions, although Zhao Laoqi led the Li family sailors to chase after him, since Lin Renzhao dared to pull out the camp to the west, he must have prepared in advance, and the hope of catching up can be described as very slim.
Li Zhongyi turned his head to look at the tiger iron rider who was following behind him, and couldn't help but exhale a long breath of turbidity, come on, it's a busy day!
"Pass my military order and return to Hongzhou!" Li Zhongyi has always been thinking about Li Yu and the Great Zhou family, and since Lin Renzhao has run away, he simply went back to pick up Liu Heyang.
Whether it is running away from Li Yu or injuring the Da Zhou family, if there is a mistake, it will cause lifelong regrets.
Fortunately, Liu Heyang was very safe, and when Li Zhongyi rushed back to the edge of Ganshui, the 5,000 iron cavalry led by Liu Heyang happened to escort Li Yu and other ministers and their families across Ganshui.
Hearing that Lin Renzhao led his troops to take refuge in Meng Chang, Liu Heyang couldn't help but stomp his feet fiercely and scolded: "Thief Lin Renzhao, don't fall into the hands of a certain family, otherwise, you have to skin him!" ”
After the army returned to Hongzhou, about half a month later, Yang Lie led the southbound army to meet him.
"General Zhengnan, the general of the Jingyang Dao march, the minister Yang Lie respectfully invites Sheng'an!"
In front of the officers and soldiers of the three armies, Yang Lie beat his chest and saluted heavily, his expression was extremely solemn and solemn.
Li Zhongyi stretched out Yang Lie with a smile and helped Yang Lie up, and said with a smile: "Bai Xing, thank you for your hard work." ”
"Alas, please the Holy Ruler for the sin of incompetence!" Yang Lie suddenly knelt on one knee and respectfully pleaded guilty.
Li Zhongyi smiled and helped Yang Lie up, and said gently: "Lin Renzhao is a fierce rival in my life. He was able to come up with this trick to throw himself into Shu, and I and the people in the General Staff Department didn't expect it in advance, wow, why are you guilty? There is no need for such a mother-in-law's courtesy! ”
"This time to the south, in addition to Lin Renzhao and the 80,000 Southern Tang Sailors who ran away, the entire anointed land in the south of the Yangtze River has fallen into our hands, and most of the strategic tasks have been successfully achieved, which is really gratifying!" Li Zhongyi's mind is unusually broad-minded, and his mind is also very peaceful.
Many things, the plan is in the people, the success is in the sky, and it cannot be forced!
However, then again, in this southern expedition, Li Zhongyi first won Wu Yue and then the Southern Tang Dynasty, and most of the strategic tasks formulated before the war have indeed been completed.
As for Lin Renzhao running away with 80,000 sailors from the Southern Tang Dynasty, it was just a small episode in the process of unifying the Central Plains.
After the complete annexation of Jiangnan, Li Zhongyi will definitely do his best to conquer the country, advance by land and water, and extinguish Houshu in one fell swoop.
Between Li Zhongyi and Meng Chang, in addition to the national feud, there is still a private festival that has not been counted so far.
This account must be calculated, not that it will not be reported, and the time has not yet come!
Yang Lie led the main army to break through the Jiangzhou defense line and drive away Lin Renzhao's news, and after the news spread, the surrender documents of various states and counties in the entire Jiangnan were sent to Li Zhongyi's hands like snowflakes.
What does it mean that the tide is over? What is it called?
That's it!
However, just when Li Zhongyi was proudly suffering from horseshoe disease, Li Yu suddenly reported that he was seriously ill.
Li Zhongyi blinked, he knew very well in his heart that it must be Lin Renzhao who led his troops to run to Meng Chang's ears to reach Li Liulang's ears.
According to Li Zhongyi's estimation, Da Zhou's family should come to him again to help see the disease, after all, the relationship between the couple is very deep.
Unexpectedly, before Li Zhongyi's thoughts were finished, he heard a voice from outside the hall, "Your Majesty, the Zhou family is here, and he is waiting outside." ”
"Oh, I got it!" Li Zhongyi sat back in front of the throne, picked up the pen in his hand, and began to bury his head in reviewing the recitals sent from all over the country.
For the sake of Li Yu's condition, the Great Zhou family came to trouble Li Zhongyi again, and Li Zhongyi was inevitably a little uncomfortable.
Your sister, the kind of man who doesn't deserve to be an emperor, is he so desperate?
However, then again, if the Da Zhou clan really threw himself into his arms so easily, Li Zhongyi is really not uncommon!
With Li Zhongyi's current identity and status, what kind of woman can't get it?
Li Zhongyi Cheng wanted to dry the Da Zhou family and let her know that he was definitely not a vegetable garden gate that he came and went casually.
However, outside the palace gate, a woman's scream suddenly came, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I beg you for the concubine, please save Liulang!" ”
"Bold slut, dare to make a loud noise outside the temple gate, come, take it!" Zhang Sanzheng, who has been guarding outside the hall, naturally cannot allow the Great Zhou clan to continue to make trouble, otherwise, it will be his Zhang Sanzheng's serious dereliction of duty.
Li Zhongyi wanted to stop Zhang Sanzheng, but after thinking about it, it doesn't seem to be a bad thing to make the Da Zhou family suffer a little?
"You guys, what are you going to do? It's only been a few days, and you dare to go wild in front of this palace? ”
The Da Zhou clan outside the door seemed to recognize the old palace people in the past, and she was in a hurry, and she actually resorted to the wild way of Sapo.
However, under the premise that Li Zhongyi didn't make a sound, Zhang Sanzheng wouldn't care so much, and the Da Zhou family was quickly covered by the former palace maids and escorted to the side hall.
In Li Zhongyi's impression, Da Zhou is a graceful and luxurious woman, she has always spoken slowly, smoothly and legally, and can be described as having a good demeanor.
It's only been a few days? The Great Zhou family has changed from the former queen of the Southern Tang Dynasty to a vulgar woman on the streets and alleys, which is really a pity!
Just as Li Zhongyi stopped writing, Zhang Sanzheng quietly walked in and stood beside him.
Li Zhongyi ignored Zhang Sanzheng, and after thinking through what was on his mind, he said lightly: "You did it right." Whoever sows wild before my gate, male or female, let him do the same. ”
"Whoa!" Zhang Sanzheng bowed in response, and then lowered his voice and said, "Fang Cai, when the palace maid took people, she accidentally tore Zhou's skirt......"
