Hou Junji's tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, starting from Chang'an, have arrived in Jingling County after half a month, approaching the north bank of the Yangtze River in Jingmen Mountain.

The soldiers and armor were fluttering, and the number of people reached 50,000 or 60,000.

Although he attacked some cities along the way and exterminated some local rebels along the way, he did not delay much, because the Liang army stationed here, whether it was the soldiers and horses of the feudal towns, basically had no combat power, and most of them fled in despair, or the local county guards, directly opened the city and surrendered, and surrendered to Li Tang.

Most of the territory north of the Yangtze River also naturally became the territory of Dahua, and did not encounter strong resistance.

At present, only part of the area south of the Yangtze River is entrenched by Liang Guo, Du Fuwei, Fu Gongtuo, Li Zitong and others.

The largest thing, Xiao Liang, is currently led by Li Jing to attack along the river from the west, and Du Fuwei's territory is led by Xu Shiji to go south to conquer.

Hou Junji's soldiers and horses mainly came to reinforce Li Jing's army and work together to take Xiao Liang.

There are many talented people in the land of Lanling, and Xiao Liang in the south was also very prosperous in the south, and finally saw that the general trend had gone, and returned to the Great Sui without blood.

Many descendants of the Lanling Xiao family, many of whom came down incognito, engaged in business to cover, develop their power, and formed a huge chamber of commerce, some bright and dark, originally just to protect the clansmen and have a place to settle down; But I didn't expect that there would be chaos in the later period of the Great Sui, and this huge Xiao force took the opportunity to restore the country, and its wealth, armor, and personnel were better than other rebel armies in the south, and even much richer than the vassal states temporarily formed by Li Mi, Dou Jiande, Wang Shichong, etc.

Hou Junji stood on the top of the cliff and looked into the distance.

The river is surging, and the opposite bank is an important river beach at the mouth of the Qing River, and if you want to force the river beach, it is destined to be a bloody battle.

However, if you don't attack, it will be useless to spend it here, and you need to open the stalemate and contain the troops on the river beach, so that Li Jing's army can launch an attack on the Jingmen Mountain camp.

"General Hou, the scout who delivered the letter is back."

"Bring it here."

"Whoa!" He went out with the guards to lead people, and a moment later a soaking scout came over, running and running, and his clothes were soaked in the river water, and they had not yet been steamed.

"General Hou, this is General Li Jing's handwritten letter."

Hou Junji took the letter and opened it, and the content on it was the time and place for him to send troops, storm the river beach, attract Liang troops, create the illusion of crossing the river and inserting it behind the camp of Jingmen Mountain, confuse the enemy, and affect the morale of the Liang army.

In addition, some warships were sent to transport thousands of cavalry, to cross the river downstream, and then rush to the rear of the camp in Jingmen Mountain, block the rear road, spread false news about the loss of the rear city, and hit the enemy's confidence.

This is all psychological warfare, but if it is used well, it can indeed trap the defenders of Jingmen Mountain here and become a lonely army that is worried about it.

Then Li Jing attacked again, and the Liang army would be difficult to resist.

"It is worthy of General Li Jing, these strategies do not seem to be tricks or priorities, but when united, they can be crushed by the enemy." Hou Junji was a little impressed, thinking that after this merger, if he followed Li Jing by his side, he would definitely learn some art of war from him with an open mind.

..........

On the opposite side of the Jingmen Mountain camp is the camp of Li Jing's army, which is densely packed with stars and arranged in an orderly manner, implying a formation.

During the day, the drills continued, and in the open space of the wilderness, the Phalanx armor soldiers walked with the same steps and shouted the same slogans, like a moving mountain, walking forward with an invincible momentum.

"Hey! Hi! Hi! "Thousands of people roared like thunder, shaking the valley trees and birds flying in panic, beasts running in terror, and all beasts were terrified in the face of the mighty momentum of the army.

There are phalanxes holding four or five meters long, there are phalanxes holding two or three meters long spears, and there are phalanxes holding shields in one hand and Mo knives in the other.

The sound of shouts, the neighing of horses' hooves, the sound of wheels clattering the ground, and the sound of bows and arrows breaking through the air are intertwined, and there is also a sense of majesty.

Li Jing and Mai Mengcai, Cui Weida and other generals discussed the battle plan, walked out of the camp, looked at the training ground, nodded slightly, after repeated training, the soldiers and horses mobilized from all walks of life were finally able to be integrated, in the same pace, training as one, forming an organic whole.

However, what made him sad was that the daily consumption of grain and grass was not small, and the rear supplies had not yet come up, which was a thorny problem.

At this moment, a guard who held Ge came in to make a report, and found a baggage team coming to the camp.

"Could it be that the grain is being transported from Bashu?"

"The food from the imperial court has finally arrived, and the general doesn't have to worry."

Tian Shikang, Zhou Faming and others were very excited when they heard the news of the baggage team and grain and grass.

Li Jing will be suspicious, because according to the scout's report, the second wave of grain and grass requisitioned from Bashu will not arrive in five days at the earliest, and it is impossible for it to appear today, will there be fraud?

He personally took the generals and armor soldiers to wait at the gate, and sure enough, he saw a baggage team slowly coming, after several checkpoints in the rear, he was able to come here smoothly, the probability of the enemy pretending to be should not be large, Li Jing felt a little at ease, and looked ahead.

After a while, the sound of the wheels became louder and louder, and the baggage team arrived in front of the camp.

"Where is the leader of the escort, come and report to General Li Jing." Mai Mengcai came out with a gun and took the guards to check.

"Xu Shao, who is lowly and has raised 50,000 stone grain and grass in Guizhou, has been specially sent to relieve the urgent need of the general." A middle-aged man stood out from the team, this person's name is Xu Shao, who was the local county guard of Dasui, because of the arrival of troubled times, in order to protect himself, he stuck to a city in the southwest, and waited for the new court to be attached after stability.

After returning to the state to take, he kept it as the history of the state assassin, this person is very set in rectifying the state border, he opened a warehouse to help more than 100,000 displaced people who ran here, so that the state border quickly stabilized, and there was a rare arrest.

"It turned out that Lao Xu was here." Li Jing smiled slightly, he didn't expect that Xu Shao would lead people to transport a batch of grain and grass from Guizhou, so as to make up for the gap, so that the whole army would not affect morale and mutiny because of the shortage of grain and grass.

"See General Lee!" Xu Shao walked over and waved his hand, although he was a civilian official, but today he was wearing armor, and he also looked a little military.

"Xu Tingshi, come at the right time, bring food and grass for our army, and crusade against the Jingmen Mountain camp, you can advance it." Li Jing smiled slightly, as if he was confident.
