Chapter 1361: The Solid Wall Clears the Wilderness

"From Jiankang to Hangzhou, we can't let the other party drive straight in, we should clear the wilderness, and then use the sailors to constantly harass the other party and cut off their food routes, and secondly, we can also identify the Datang secret guards, send people to kill these secret guards, and make Li Jing deaf and blind." Yue Fei opened the map and said, "Although we are doing the things of the strong wall and clearing the wilderness, some ordinary people oppose it, and the effect is not too great, so these need the support of Yan Shenggong." ”

Yue Fei had already calculated how to deal with Li Jing, and the sailors did not send out all of them, but only left the quarry rock sailors just in case, most of the main forces of the sailors were scattered between the rivers, in order to cut off Li Jing's grain route. As long as all the personnel active in the south of the Yangtze River and north of Hangzhou are secret guards, whether it is the Six Gates, or the sentinels of the Yue Family's army, they will hunt and kill the secret guards.

It's just that although Yue Fei is doing it, and Zhao Huan also gives him full power, Yue Fei's influence on the gentry is obviously not as good as that of Kong Duanyou, the Yan Shenggong, as long as Yan Shenggong has a letter, these gentry will definitely follow the arrangement of Yan Shenggong, you know, at this time, the control of the people by the imperial court depends more on the gentry. The imperial court controlled the state capital, and the state capital controlled the county, and the power of the county was mostly concentrated in the hands of the gentry. The policy of co-governing the world with scholars and scholars in the previous dynasty gave scholars a high prestige among the people and made the gentry the basis of power in the world. Kong Duanyou's influence in Jiangbei is relatively small, but among the gentry in Jiangnan, his influence is very large.

"That's as it should be." Kong Duanyou nodded and said, "The gentry in Jiangnan don't like Li Thief, and I believe they will definitely support the people to move south." The old man made people travel all over the country, and I believe that even if he can't move south, it is very difficult for Li Thief to get grain and grass. ”

"Then there is the Holy Father of Laoyan." Yue Fei suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, with the help of these literati, although it could not help much in terms of combat effectiveness, but it could bring a lot of help to Yue Fei in the supply of grain and grass, you must know that most of the wealth in the world is in the hands of merchants, but most of the grain and grass are in the hands of the gentry, these gentry buy land as soon as they have money, and then get a lot of grain. The common people had nothing to eat, but there was never a shortage of grain and grass in the homes of these gentry.

"General, the old man has taken his leave." Kong Duanyou arched his hand and left the General's Mansion.

"Go, send someone to inform Qin Hui, once Li Jing's soldiers come to the city, please ask Your Majesty to move in the direction of Jingzhou." Yue Fei said in a low voice: "Once Li Jing gives up attacking Hangzhou, he will definitely turn around and attack Lin'an, and it will be difficult to evacuate at that time." Yue Fei still didn't have the confidence to block Li Jing under Lin'an City. The best way is to let Zhao Huan withdraw a little more, as long as he holds out until winter or next spring, when Jiangnan enters the rainy season, Li Jing will have to withdraw his troops.

And at this moment, on the wharf of Jiankang City, the flag is unfurled, countless soldiers are standing on the wharf, there is a pontoon bridge across the two banks of the river in the distance, and a Phnom Penh blood dragon sword and shield flag is slowly moving with the army. Li Jing's army finally arrived in Jiankang City, and Wu Jue and Han Shizhong personally led the three armies to meet them.

"Minister Wu Jue (Han Shizhong) led the forward general to meet Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty, long live Long live." Wu Jue saw Li Jing riding a war horse slowly coming in the distance, and there were Li Dingbei, the king of Qin, Li Fu, Zongzheng, Li Daniu of the Guards, and others on one side.

"The two Aiqing led the army south, took the lead in seizing Jiankang City, killed 20,000 enemies, and two generals, shocked the enemy's courage, strengthened the prestige of our army, and I was very relieved." When Li Jing saw the two of them, he immediately laughed, jumped off the horse, stepped forward to help the two of them up, and said to everyone: "Get up!" The generals have worked hard. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Wu Jue and the others all showed excitement on their faces. Being praised by Li Jing is the biggest reward.

"Jiankang, hehe, I'm afraid Yue Fei vomited blood this time." Li Jing looked at Jiankang City in the distance, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, the fighting process between Wu Jue and Yue Fei, Wu Jue had already sent someone to tell Li Jing, Li Jing also felt a burst of relief, although he did not kill Yue Fei, although he suffered heavy losses, but the blow to Yue Fei, Li Jing could still guess.

What could be more cruel than watching one's robe being slaughtered by the enemy! Li Jing couldn't wait to kill Yue Fei now, but unfortunately, he could only collect some interest now.

"Your Majesty is very true." Han Shizhong also laughed, and said proudly: "What about Yue Fei's bravery, his courage is just his bravery, and he can't play any role in the military formation." ”

"I can't underestimate Yue Fei, I have already received the news that Yue Fei has implemented the war strategy of fortifying the walls and clearing the wilderness in Jiangnan, and the gentry in Jiangnan have responded to the call of the other party, and we will not be able to fight in the next step." Li Jing took Li Dingbei's little hand and said: "Although General Xie Yuan destroyed the Quarry Rock Water Division, it was only a partial division, and the main force of the Southern Song Dynasty Water Division was hidden in various rivers, on the one hand, to intercept and kill our secret guards, and on the other hand, to deal with our grain routes, Yue Fei, is not so easy to fight." ”

Wu Jue and Han Shizhong's faces changed when they heard this, they had also heard about the affairs in Jiangnan, Yue Fei had actually implemented such a plan a long time ago, Wu Jue and the others thought that Yue Fei could not succeed, after all, the number of people who migrated was quite large, and it was not a simple matter to let these people leave their homeland, but now after listening to Li Jing's words, maybe this matter really made Yue Fei successful.

"Although I don't want to admit it, I have to say that the power of the gentry in Jiangnan is too strong and threatens the prestige of the imperial court." Li Jing's face was gloomy, and the power of the Jiangbei gentry was also very strong, but it was still under the control of the imperial court, but Jiangnan was different, the Central Plains War, a large number of gentry crossed the Yangtze River, and strengthened the power of the Jiangnan gentry, the Jiangnan gentry had a vast land, and the population was increasing, and at the same time, the influence on the Tang Dynasty was also increasing.

"Your Majesty, isn't it just a strong wall? The minister thinks that no matter how many enemies there are in front of us, how many enemies are secretly ambushed, as long as we move forward bravely and destroy Yue Fei, or directly enter the city of Lin'an and destroy the Southern Song Dynasty, those gentry will definitely turn to us and submit to us, where will they support the Southern Song Dynasty? Han Shizhong said loudly: "The enemy has thousands of changes, I only have one way, kill him and turn the world upside down." ”

"Okay, General Han is heroic." Li Jing couldn't help but clap his hands when he heard this.

What Han Shizhong said makes sense, the reason why those gentry in Jiangnan agreed to Jianbi Qingye is only because Yue Fei is still there, Zhao Huan is still there, as long as Yue Fei is defeated and Zhao Huan is killed, the so-called Jianbi Qingye will naturally not count.
