Good birds choose trees to perch on, and good ministers choose their masters.

Lin Jianlu, Guo Jikang couldn't help but be moved.

When they were in Longdi, they had heard that the king of Qin cherished his talents, sprinkled hero stickers, and invited talents from all over the world to enter Qin.

Longdi, Jingxiang, and the wise men from all over the East heard the news, like carp crossing the river entering Qin one after another, and many people were hired to display their ambitions in the Qin State.

Their colleague Xu Wenda, after entering Qin, abandoned Ram Yue and defected to Qin.

The king of Qin appointed him as the head of the court, and deliberately recruited talents for the Qin state, and was regarded as a cronie, entering and leaving the imperial court, and giving advice to the king of Qin.

Ram Yue was defeated in Tucheng, and in a panic, he and Lu Yanzhang led the remnants of the defeated army and fled west in a panic.

A few days ago, I heard from the jailer that the ram was recruited by Zhao Chen and was willing to be a minister.

In the past, the heroes galloped on one side, and in the competition of the heroes, they have lost the qualification to compete in the Central Plains.

What's more, they were imprisoned in Changchuan City, and Ram Yue never sent anyone to rescue them, for fear that they would have forgotten about them.

Now the King of Qin is full of sincerity and lobbied them to surrender to Qin, which is an excellent opportunity for them.

Pushing the boat down the river to Qin is much better than the brazen Mao Sui recommending himself when life and death are at stake.

Lin Jianlu's thoughts were flying, his face was like the water of a quiet lake, and he said loudly: "If the king of Qin is honestly recruited, Lin is willing to surrender, saddle the horse and fight for the king." ”

He did not have much contradiction with the King of Qin, on the contrary, the King of Qin also gave him advice when he was in Luling City, so that he led the army to retreat.

Speaking of which, I am grateful to him!

At the same time, Guo Jikang's expression and thoughts also changed.

Glancing at Lin Jianlu, he bowed down and said to Ji Xuanling: "Thanks to the love of King Qin, I am willing to surrender to Qin and serve the king!" ”

The struggle for hegemony among the nations and the rivalry of kings has just begun.

Descend to Qin!

defected to Ji Xuanling, under the leadership of Ji Xuanling, there is also an opportunity to display his talents and realize his ambitions.

Ji Xuanling heard that Guo and Lin were willing to surrender to Qin and be loyal to him, his face blossomed, he got up and walked forward quickly, and helped Guo Jikang and Lin Jianlu.

I couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "With the assistance of the general, when the Qin army marches south, it will inevitably be invincible and invincible." ”

Guo Jikang, Lin Jianlu breathed a sigh of relief, and his attitude was much more relaxed.

"The king is wise and martial, the Qin general is fierce and fierce, without the help of the last general, the king seizes Jiangnan, it is still like a bag to get something!" Lin Jianlu said that it tasted of flattery.

Ji Xuanling laughed heartily, and still said righteously: "A good general uses soldiers, if a good doctor treats the disease, the disease will change and the medicine will also change, and those who have not sought eternity since ancient times will not be able to do it for a certain time; Those who do not seek the overall situation are not enough to seek a domain. If there is no support from good generals, no matter how powerful this king is, he still can't turn the tide and change the situation alone. ”

He was full of confidence, but he knew the weakness of the Qin State, so he didn't dare to hold it up.

Banquet Lin Jianlu, Guo Jikang had a meal, and when leaving, Ji Xuanling said: "This king has arranged a mansion for the general, and your family has already sent it over, you can go back to the house to rest for the time being, and before the march, this king will send someone to announce your position in the army." ”

"Thank you, the king!"

Guo Jikang, Lin Jianlu nodded in unison, bowed and thanked him.

Recruit Guo Jikang, Lin Jianlu, and the Qin army is like a tiger with wings.

On the same day, Ji Xuanling arranged for Xu Wenda to go to announce the royal order, Bai Lin Jianlu was the left general of the Southern Expedition, and Guo Jikang was the right general of the Southern Expedition, and the former general Shen Tuxiu and the later general Lu Linxuan were listed alongside, collectively known as the four generals of the Southern Expedition.

With this, Ji Xuanling gathered all the concubines in Changle Palace, comforted Ji Shaohua, Ruan Chengcheng, and Princess Mengluo to quietly raise the fetus, and instructed Zhao Huanxi and Princess Wuyang to preside over the harem.

Before leaving, he planned to go alone, but Princess Fuyao married Qin for the first time, and was lively and active, so he didn't want to stay in Changle Palace alone.

He simply took Princess Fuyao, Princess Ruyi, and Princess Qingyue to lead the army to the south.

In this battle, the Qin army was well prepared, and it was inevitable to win the two states in the south of the Yangtze River controlled by Sun Ming.

Ji Xuanling led the troops to set off, and immediately sent scouts to Jiangnan one after another to investigate.

The Qin State was not familiar with Jiangnan, and only by knowing oneself and knowing oneself could one win all battles.

During the march, the scouts gradually sent back news that they had a preliminary understanding of the distribution of troops in Jiangnan.

The officials of the counties and counties in the south of the Yangtze River received the order from Sun Ming and learned that the Qin army was on the way south, so they quickly deployed defenses and called on the people to join the army.

However, Shendu is far away from Jiangnan.

After arriving in Qianzhou, the sailors led by Jing Hongyang, Han Daochang, Xing Buying, and Liu Muyue launched an attack on the sailors formed by Zhao Chang and Sun Ming.

Although several attacks have been launched and there have been considerable gains, it is a pity that they are not familiar with the terrain of Qianzhou and have not been able to completely annihilate the naval division of Qianzhou.

After getting the news, Ji Xuanling didn't care.

In the Qin army, there was Wu Jiling, and Yu Changxiong led the army to fight, and he was much more relieved.

To this end, he urged the army to speed up its march.

At the beginning of March, it had been nearly half a month since the Qin army left the Shendu and had arrived at the boundary of Jiangnan.

At this time, the scouts sent back a lot of news, and they had a specific understanding of the situation in Jiangnan and the distribution of troops.

Everyone says that the scenery in the south of the Yangtze River is good.

However, relying on the terrain, Sun Ming deployed a large number of elite soldiers in various places to form a defense like vines. He called on all localities to spontaneously organize troops and deploy checkpoints and traps in various counties and counties in an attempt to stop the pace of the Qin army.

Knowing the situation in Jiangnan, Ji Xuanling, Shen Tuxiu, Lu Linxuan, Lin Jianlu, Guo Jikang and other generals, instead of the slightest fear, became enthusiastic and high-spirited.

Occupy Jiangnan and establish great military achievements.

The generals were gearing up, and they came out one after another to ask for help, asking to lead the army to the south and set foot in Zhangzhou and Wuzhou in the south of the Yangtze River.

Ji Xuanling acted cautiously and ordered the former general Shen Tuxiu to lead the Qin army to advance step by step, spy on Sun Ming's defense in Wuzhou, and understand the reality of Jiangnan.

Sun Ming had a good plan, trying to turn Jiangnan into a killing battlefield, calling on the people of Jiangnan to hold back the pace of the Qin army, so that the Qin army would fall into the quagmire of war and weaken the Qin army.

It's a pity that Sun Ming overestimated the courage of Jiangnan's soldiers and underestimated the Qin army's determination to seize Jiangnan.

Compared with the huge territory of the Qin State, the boundaries of Jiangnan are too narrow.

The confrontation and attrition of the army, after a long time, not only destroy the prosperous economy of Jiangnan, but also reduce the population of Jiangnan, when Sun Ming fought against the Qin army, if he could not win quickly and drive away the Qin army, it would endanger the prestige of the Sun family in Jiangnan.

Besides, some of the most brave and warlike sailors in Jiangnan are currently stationed in Qianzhou to fight against the Qin and Chu sailors who are taking the initiative to attack, greatly weakening the living forces in Jiangnan.

The Qin army pressed the border, and as the scouts continued to send back news, they could thoroughly understand the distribution of troops in Jiangnan, so that the whole army could attack, quickly decide, destroy all Sun Ming's deployments in Jiangnan, and quickly seize Jiangnan.

If the lightning strikes quickly, the wind and clouds are in a state of turmoil, and he occupies Zhangzhou and Wuzhou in the south of the Yangtze River, it will not be in vain for him to spend his time deploying.
