"Wang Junkuo told me that Qing had official dealings with the nobles of Guanzhong, intending to rebel."

In the Temple of Manna.

Luo Cheng sat down and played chess against Li Jing, the secretary of the Ministry of War, and the emperor's words made Li Jing's hands tremble.

"I don't dare."

Luo Cheng smiled, "I also believe that it is impossible for you to rebel, although you once wanted to go to Jiangdu to expose my rebellion, but after that misunderstanding, your performance has always been good." And now at this time, you have no reason to rebel, right? Therefore, I accepted Wang Junkuo Fan Yang Jiedu as an envoy and made him a squire in the military department, just to knock him up. ”

Li Jing faced this smiling young emperor, but he only felt sweat on his back.

"Pharmacist, how much do you know about Lingnan?" Luo Cheng knocked Li Jing and turned to Lingnan. Li Jing is loyal, although sometimes he is rigid, but his character is still relatively reliable, Luo Cheng also knows that he will not rebel, but sometimes for the monarch, it is still necessary to properly knock down the courtiers.

Li Jing lowered his head and let out a long breath.

"Lingnan is now divided and chaotic. As early as the time of the Southern Dynasties, the land of Lingnan was actually dominated by the Han people and the chieftains of the Slang Yue, although they also called the court of the Southern Dynasty, but they had extremely strong personal power, had their own soldiers and horses, and even no matter which dynasty, they had to appoint these people as local assassins. ”

The strongest strength is naturally Feng Ning and Chen.

Among them, the Feng family has been married to the local handsome Xian family for generations, and they are in a strong alliance.

Mrs. Xian in the Southern Chen period was the daughter of the Xian family, married to the Feng family, and once became the representative of the local heroes in Lingnan at that time. Nan Chen Chen Ba first established the Chen Dynasty, and Madame Xian supported it. The Sui Dynasty destroyed Chen, and Mrs. Xian expressed her support again, so that Lingnan did not go through any major wars.

Feng An, who is now the dominant party in Lingnan, is the grandson of Mrs. Xian.

Lingnan is called Lingnan because it is located in the south of the five mountains, and because the five mountains are continuous, blocking the Central Plains, so the land of Lingnan has always been a wild place.

After the Sui Dynasty entered Lingnan, the center of the business was to Guizhou in Guilin, Guangxi, Xunzhou, Guangzhou, and other governors in Huizhou, Guangdong, as the backbone of the rule, under which a number of states were managed, and the governors were served by the generals sent by the imperial court.

However, Yang Guang later abolished the governor's office and set up more than 20 counties in Lingnan, but there was no higher organization above the county level, which made the situation in Lingnan more and more chaotic.

After that, although Lingnan Province and Annam Province were established, at this time, the Central Plains was in turmoil, and the imperial court was already unable to actually manage and control Lingnan.

Gaoliang County Tong Shou Xian Baoche made a mess, and Lingnan Xidong responded to it, and this Feng Baoche was the leader of the Slang clan, the Xian family.

After that, Feng An, who had served as a general by the side of the Emperor of the Central Plains, returned to Lingnan and was based in Gao and Luo.

Deng Wenjin is based in Guangzhou, while the slang handsome Yang Shiluo is based on the tide and the tide, and Ning Changzhen is based on Yulin.

Li Xianzhi stuck to Shi'an.

Xun, Chao Erzhou in the easternmost part of Lingnan, here has always been a relatively independent area, Fan Zigai has been here for a long time, after entering the dynasty, after the Central Plains chaos, Yang Shiluo took the opportunity to occupy.

Because of the small territory and weak power, Yang Shiluo has now surrendered to Lin Shihong, who occupies Jiangxi.

Gao Facheng is based in Xinzhou, and Deng Wenjin is based in Guangzhou.

In the area of the Beibu Gulf of Guangxi in later generations, it was occupied by the Ning family, who was originally a Qu Shuai in the Qianyu area, and later was Ningyue Taishou (later Qinzhou) at the end of Chen, and the Ning family was the governor of Ningyue because of this.

At this time, under the leadership of Ning Changzhen, the Ning clan owned most of Ningyue and Hepu County, but it was to the Liang Dynasty Xiao Milling.

He once wanted to expand to Annam, but was defeated by Luo Yi and his subordinate Qiu He, so he turned to expand to Yulin County in the north, and laid down a lot of castle territory.

In addition, there is a strong separatist force in Lingnan is the former Yongping County Guard Li Guangdu, Li Guangdu is also the same as Ning Feng and others, he is the Lingnan Hao Chieftain, he took advantage of the chaos to occupy Yongping, as well as most of Yulin, Hepu and the northern part of Ningyue, and his strength is very strong.

"Get the map." Luo Chengdao.

Then an attendant immediately took a map, "Look for someone from Lingnan." ”

A huge map was placed in front of Luo Cheng, Li Jing, Junchen, and the two.

"Your Majesty, there are more than 20 counties in Lingnan, from east to west, and now the separatist forces of all parties are Yang Shiluo of Zhuxun and Chao Erzhou, Deng Wenjin of Guangzhou, and Gao Facheng of Xinzhou."

"Then there are Gao Liang's Xian Baoche and Feng An."

"Then there is Li Guangdu in Yongping, then Ning Changzhen in Hepu, and Li Xizhi in Guilin."

"Further south, the king of Yan is guarding Annan."

Among these nine forces, Luo Yi is the Yan King of Great Qin and the envoy of Annan Province.

And Li Xizhi has also expressed his submission to Luo Cheng, so he was awarded by Luo Cheng as the governor and governor of Shi'an County.

In addition to these two people, among the other seven major forces, only Feng Ang is now attached to Great Qin, and was awarded Gao Liang Taishou and Governor by Luo Cheng.

Most of the land is still in the hands of Feng An's uncle's relative, Xian Baoche.

Yang Shiluo has been attached to Jiangxi Lin Shihong, and Ning Changzhen has been attached to Jianghan Xiao Milling.

The remaining four people, Xian Baoche, Deng Wenjin, Gao Facheng, and Li Guangdu, were still unconvinced.

As for the area of Fujian further east, it is now under the control of Shen Faxing, which is not within Lingnan.

"If the imperial court wants to take Lingnan, what do you think is a good way?" Luo Cheng asked.

Li Jing looked at the map, and now Daqin's forces stopped at the north bank of the Yangtze River, and it was still too far away from Lingnan.

You must know that at this time, there are generally only three routes from the Central Plains to Lingnan, the most mature route is from Hunan to Guilin, followed by Jiangxi to Guangzhou, and the last route is from the sea to Guangzhou.

However, sea routes are not mature and stable, and militarily they are generally mainly taken by land.

But now Jiangxi is in the hands of Lin Shihong, and Hunan is in the hands of Xiao Milling.

"Your Majesty, if you march from the sea, although our army now has a lot of experience at sea, but there is no experience in this route in Guangzhou, especially if you go south, there are too many soldiers, horses, money, and food to be transported, it is not easy, and the most terrible thing is that there are thousands of miles in between, and there is no guarantee of logistics and supplies, which is too risky."

Luo Cheng nodded, "But if you want to fight by land, it's not easy, and Xiao Mo and Lin Shihong are in the way." ”

Lin Shihong and Xiao Mo can be said to occupy a more favorable situation, and they are now also vying to enter Lingnan first, but they are also in trouble, and the trouble that Xiao Mo encountered is Li Xizhi.

Li Xizhi occupied Shi'an County, controlled Guilin, attached himself to Luo Cheng, and blocked the way for Xiao's army to go south into Lingnan.

Although Lin Shihong was attached to Yang Shiluo, he was stuck with Deng Wenjin and Gao Facheng as well as Yang Shiluo, and the road was also blocked.

And the three forces of the Lingnan Qin Dynasty, Luo Yi, Li Xizhi and Feng An, were divided again.

"If I give you the title of Lingnan Jiedu envoy, and let you take a fleet to sail from Jiangdu Port to Lingnan, would you be willing to go?"

Li Jing looked at the map.

If this is the case, Nachen led the fleet to choose to land in the southwest of Gaoliang County first, where Feng Ang is the territory, first unite with him to defeat Xian Baoche to the east, capture Gaoliang County, and then use this as a base camp to destroy Gao Facheng and Deng Wenjin to the east and take Guangzhou. Then go against the depressed water, and Guilin Li Xizhi to attack Li Guangdu in the north and south, and then block the Wuling passage, and then turn around and unite with King Yan to concentrate on destroying Yang Shiluo and Ning Changzhen, then more than 20 counties in Lingnan can be leveled. ”

Luo Cheng was very satisfied with Li Jing's words, "Very good, then I will grant you the envoy of Lingnan Dao, and pull out all the 6,000 Jiangdu sailors to you, and give you 12,000 elite soldiers and cavalry, passing through Lingnan." ”
