Luoyang.

When Luo Cheng heard the news from Jiangnan, he didn't quite believe it.

However, after seeing the letter written by Lin Shihong presented by Li Xian, he was skeptical.

"Saint, the heart of man is attached." Li Xian congratulated.

"Haha, it can only be said that this Lin Shihong is still relatively smart, although he has been a pseudo-emperor for a few years, he has not been dizzy because of this. In general, it is still better than Xiao Miao, Xiao Miao, and Xiao Miao, he still has to invite, but Lin Shihong took the initiative to ask to enter the court. Well, with such a good understanding of current affairs, I can't treat him badly. ”

Luo Cheng was in a good mood, and his fingers tapped on the table.

Although even if Lin Shihong does not take the initiative to enter the court, now the imperial court wants to recover Jiangxi, which is actually a matter of military action, but after all, his initiative to enter the court can avoid a war.

"Changed the title of Lin Shihong to the Duke of Yuzhang County, and I gave him a fiefdom of 100 miles in Yunnan, and a thousand households were really sealed. In addition, if he is willing to stay in Luoyang, he can also do it, and the fief can be taken care of by his children. ”

Wang Shichong, Li Mixiao, and those surrendered princes, but they are all feudal princes, and they are not actual feudal princes, what are the titles, and Lin Shihong can also have a county duke, and a good title, which is not ordinary.

On the same day, Luo Cheng immediately summoned several marshals of the Privy Council to discuss how to send troops to take over Jiangxi.

"Transferred Kan Ling to be the commander of the left governor of Jiangxi Province and the commander of Yuzhang Taishou, and transferred Ximen Junyi to serve as the commander of the right governor of Jiangxi and the commander of Poyang Taishou. Then Qu Tugai was transferred to Jiangxi Zuobu as the political envoy, and Dai Xuan was transferred to Jiangxi Zuo as the inspector. ”

Zhang Xutuo proposed to transfer the Weifu battalion from Huainan, Henan, Hubei, and Bahan to Jiangxi Province.

"Twenty-four battalions with a total of 12,000 soldiers will be temporarily dispatched to station."

"Sage, Xiao Mo and Lin Shihong have all been attached, and there is only one Jiangdong Shen Faxing left, do you want to urge him?"

Luo Cheng smiled.

"Don't ignore him for the time being, let's focus on taking over Jiangxi first, and when the imperial court takes over Jinghu and Jiangxi properly, then we will talk about Jiangdong, and also leave a little time for Shen Faxing to see if he can be smarter."

The trend towards unification is inevitable.

Originally, the imperial court planned to start a move on the three feudatories after three or five years, leaving more time, in order to minimize the resistance to reunification, to minimize the loss of reunification, and to minimize the cost of reunification.

But who would have thought that the three feudatories would weaken so quickly after making peace with the imperial court, especially Xiao Liang, after making peace with the imperial court, which exacerbated their internal contradictions.

And a once-in-a-century catastrophe finally caused its interior to collapse and return to it ahead of schedule.

Xiao Milling's annexation of Jinghu made Lin Shihong in Jiangxi even more uneasy, knowing that he was invincible, he no longer held on, and simply took the initiative to invite him into the court.

Now there is only one Shen Faxing left, occupying the Jiangdong area. Shen Faxing was born in the Shen family, one of the largest clans in Jiangnan, and the capital is still a lot, after he occupied Jiangdong, he had stronger control over the place than Lin Shihong and Xiao Miao.

At the same time, in the past few years, it has also been stained with the light of Daqin Sea Trade, and it has also started to trade, with Jiangning Port, Hangzhou Port, Ningbo Port, etc., which can be regarded as making a lot of money.

Shen Faxing did not have the slightest intention of surrendering, he tried to build a small court in Jiangdong, so after discussing peace, he did not say that the horses put the Nanshan sword soldiers into the warehouse, on the contrary, he also strengthened the training of soldiers and horses, and built equipment. He used to unite the local nobles in Jiangdong to form a strong local separatist force.

Solid this, Luo Cheng didn't bother to spend that effort to persuade him to surrender or anything, the situation was favorable to the imperial court, and the longer it dragged on, the more difficult it would be for Shen Faxing to resist the imperial court.

No matter how much he tried to win over the Jiangdong place, it was useless, after all, it was such a big place.

The imperial court is not in a hurry to unify the military, it is not that it can't be defeated, it just wants to solve it at the lowest cost, the imperial court is waiting for the best time, and after freeing up its hands, it will destroy the Jiangdong feudal towns in a war, and then have the ability to take over the Jiangdong place in time, so that Jiangdong will not be harmed by the war.

After all, no matter how much Jiangdong is divided, those people are still in the Central Plains and Huaxia, not Huyi. If it was Hu Yi, Luo Chengcheng would not have so many scruples.

Anton.

Between the mountains and forests, the grass and trees are withered.

Yuwen Chengdu led his scouts through the grass and trees, and the night dew was heavy, and his body was soon wet.

However, they have long been accustomed to it, and in the past month, Xu Shiji has divided the Andong Qin army into nine routes, and the nine routes have attacked, crossing the border line for autumn sweeps.

And Yuwen Chengdu's task as these scouts is to act as the eyes and ears of these deep into the army, and they are ahead of the army.

Advance pathfinding reconnaissance.

Andong's Qin army had penetrated hundreds of miles into Baekje's territory, and the army was scattered to attack, bypassing those large cities and fortresses, sweeping the countryside, looting grain, and plundering people.

As scouts, their task is to keep an eye on the Baekje army or Goguryeo people in the fortified fortresses, and as long as they are dispatched, they must pass the information to the sweeping soldiers and horses as soon as possible, so that they can grasp it in time, or get out of the way, or lure them to besiege and annihilate.

Of course, the Baekje people don't just stay in the castle hill, they also send out ranger scouts, although their scout rangers don't dare to leave the cottage castle too far, but this still poses a lot of threats to the Qin scouts who sneak near the enemy city.

The armies of the two sides were still far apart, but the scouts were already fighting in the mountains and forests and in the fields.

Ambush vs. counter-ambush, surprise vs. counter-attack.

The battle of a small group of scout rangers is more about courage and riding and archery skills.

Woomoon Seung-du stared ahead, it was a small camp, a temporary night camp for enemy rangers, and this camp was less than ten miles away from the nearby Baekje Fortress.

"What are you going to do?"

The team is asking three times.

"There are fewer and fewer lone enemies, and it's hard to meet a gang, how can you miss it." Yuwen Chengdu said. Although their mission is to scout, it is their task to kill the enemy's rangers and prevent the opponent's scout rangers from going out.

Intercepting the opponent's scout rangers will make the enemy in the city lose their eyes and ears, see nothing and hear nothing, and sit in the city with dark eyes and no understanding of the situation outside.

"Do it."

A shrill whistle sounded suddenly.

The two teams of scout light horsemen, who had already been ambushed in place, attacked left and right, and fiercely slaughtered the Baekje ranger night camp.

The Baekje people in the camp were awakened, but Qin Qi had already killed them.

Short-handed, sword-to-sword.

When the brave meet on a narrow road, it all depends on real ability.

In times of war, everyone wants to take the initiative, and to grasp the initiative, you must first have enough intelligence to provide judgment, so both sides will send a large number of scout rangers, at this time, the ranger scouts not only have to collect and spy information, but also intercept each other.

Whoever can take the initiative will depend on whose ranger is superior.

Obviously, tonight's battle between the rangers ended in the victory of Yuwen Chengdu and others.

They shoot sharply and act quickly.

It took almost a quarter of an hour to end the battle, and all the more than 30 Baekje Ranger scouts were killed, and some of the maps they were carrying were also scavenged.

Lu San and the others neatly cut off the head of Baekje You, hung it on the horse, and then took away their valuable weapons and equipment, etc., and finally took the uninjured horse away.

Leaving a trail of headless corpses, they quickly evacuated and disappeared into the night.

When the nearby Baekje rangers arrived, they only saw corpses in one place.
