Qinzhou, known as Anzhou in ancient times. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

During the Northern and Southern Dynasties, the Song Dynasty placed Songshou County, and the Southern Liang was changed to Anzhou. In the eighteenth year of Emperor Kaihuang of Sui, Anzhou was changed to Qinzhou and the righteousness of Qinshun was taken. In the fifth year of Wude of the Tang Dynasty, Ningyue County was changed to the Governor's Office of Qinzhou, and in the first year of Zhenguan, it was changed to return to Qinzhou.

Qinzhou Bay is also the most convenient outlet to the sea in the southwest.

The Ning family, the three major chieftains of Lingnan, has been based in Qinzhou for a hundred years.

Qinzhou is bordered by Yongzhou, the capital of Guangxi Road to the north, the sea to the south, and Jiaozhou to the southwest.

The southwest of May is the season of the southeast trade winds, and it is also the rainy season.

Qinzhou North, Jiangzhou.

The soldiers and horses of the Ning family besieged Jiangzhou.

Jiangzhou was originally a state divided from Hepu County, which was not large, but it was stuck between the prefectures of Qinlian and Luobai.

Qinzhou Thorn Shi Ning Changzhen, Lianzhou Thorn Shi Ning Chun, and Yuezhou Thorn Shi Ning Daoming are all Qinzhou Ning clan.

The territory of Gaozhou Thorn Shi Feng Xuan, as well as Tan Dian, is in the east of Jiangzhou.

The capture of Jiangzhou was the opening of several rebel armies.

The rebels marched on muddy ground, with torrential rain and strong winds on their heads.

Bursts of rain poured in the face, as if the sky had broken a big hole.

Ning Changzhen raised his head, and the big raindrops smashed on his face, and he was a little painful. He cursed in his heart for this ghost weather, this continuous rain is endless, which makes the attack much more difficult.

The bowstring is no longer needed, and when it is wound, the arrow is also soft. Moreover, the rain made the camping place gone, there was water everywhere, there was mud everywhere, it was difficult to even make a fire, and there was not a wisp of dry yarn on the body.

"Feng Xuan and Tandian have joined forces to capture Nanyue Prefecture, but we haven't even taken Jiangzhou."

Nanyue Prefecture is just east of Jiangzhou, north of Lianzhou, and west of Baizhou.

In the fifth year of Wude, the county was changed to a state, and Hepu County was divided into three prefectures: Yuezhou, Nanhezhou, and Jiangzhou. At the end of the Sui Dynasty, the Taishou of Hepu County was Ning Xuan, and he was also the Ning clan of Qinzhou, and his son was the assassin of Nanhezhou.

"This damn Ning Chun."

Ning Changzhen looked at the city and cursed. Dingxuan is his uncle, Ning Chun is his cousin, but this time the army was raised, Ning Xuan was generally unwilling to respond because of his bad head, Ning Changzhen was really angry and sent troops to attack Jiangzhou, Ning Xuan refused to defend the city, and Ning Chun sent troops from Nanhezhou to help.

This rebellion against the Tang Dynasty first became an infighting among the Ning family.

The patriarch of the Ning clan, Qinzhou Thorn Shi Ning Changzhen, and his nephew Yuezhou Thorn Shi Ning Daoming fought against Jiangzhou Thorn Shi Ning Xuan, and his son Nanhezhou Thorn Shi Ning Chun.

Ning Changzhen, as the patriarch of the contemporary Qinzhou Ning clan, is not the second ancestor who sits on it. In his early years, he followed his father Ning Mengli and his uncle Ning Xuan to conquer the slang fangs in the Qinzhou area, open up the localities, set up county governance, and incorporated many slang fangs into the subordinate nationality and became subjects.

Later, Ning Changzhen also followed the Sui generals to the south to conquer Linyi and returned after breaking Linyi. He also followed Yang Guangdong to conquer Liaodong, and fought several battles.

The Ning family has been down for several generations, and the places near Qinzhou belong to the Ning family, and Ning Changzhen also has a lot of credit. At the end of the Sui Dynasty, the Ning family owned Ningyue and Hepu Counties, and now it has several states.

"At the beginning, Ning Chun was still behind Lao Tzu's buttocks, and he thought that this big brother was an example everywhere, but he didn't expect that now he has the courage to go against me."

Uncle Ning Xuan held the land of Hepu Sanzhou in his hands, so he didn't take him, the nephew patriarch, very seriously. What is loyal to Datang, in fact, is just unwilling to obey his orders.

It's a joke.

Feng Xuan and Tandian had already captured Nanyue Prefecture, but he Ning Changzhen had not even captured Jiangzhou.

Feng Ang is still waiting for the movement here, this time the army is a test for them to the Tang Dynasty. They also used this army to show the Tang court the attitude of their Lingnan wealthy clans.

But if they are infighting, and even they can't even clean up Ning Xuan's father and son, then how can they give Tang Ting a few colors? can't even clean up his own people, how can he make Tang Ting afraid of them?

A group of soldiers retreated in a gloomy manner, dragging their tired and wet bodies with a weak appearance.

"Keep attacking!" Ning Changzhen drew his sword and shouted at them.

Nanzhou Thorn Shi Pang Xiaogong and Lezhou Thorn Shi Zhou Xiaoji came over to advise, "The sons and daughters are exhausted, and with such a heavy rain, they are really unable to attack the city." It's better to retreat and rest first, and then attack when the rain stops. ”

These two are also chieftains and are attached to the Ning family. The two responded with soldiers, but when they attacked the city, they were not very willing to help.

They have been attacking Jiangzhou City for more than ten days, but they have not been defeated until now.

"When the weather is clear, it just so happens that Tan Shuai and Feng Shuai's soldiers and horses have also arrived, and at that time, we will join forces together, and this Jiangzhou is a lonely city, and it won't last long." Pang Xiaogong said.

Seeing that the generals were unwilling to attack again, Ning Changzhen had no choice but to order a temporary truce.

Gaozhou.

Feng An, the patriarch of the Feng family, sat in the study and read, the weather in Lingnan in May was already hot, and it looked hot in a thin robe.

There was incense burning in the study, precious ambergris.

But no matter how expensive ambergris is, it can't calm him down.

I held the book in my hand for most of the day, but I didn't turn a page.

There was a knock on the door.

"Come in."

"Lang Jun, there is a letter."

Feng Ang snorted, took the letter and waved it back, carefully checking that the seal was undamaged before opening it. But after only two glances, he slapped his palm on the table.

"Useless waste!"

"I shouldn't believe that Ning Chang is really, this waste."

The letter was sent by his eldest brother Feng Xuan, informing him of the situation in the west. The situation was worse than expected, Ning Xuan and Ning Chun's father and son refused to raise troops, and Ning Changzhen sent troops to attack, but he couldn't attack for a long time.

The west side has not yet settled, but the east side is not flat.

In Luzhou, northeast of Gaozhou, the territory of the Chen family, the three major families in Lingnan, Chen Longshu has a grudge against the Feng family. During the Sui Dynasty, Chen Longshu's father, Chen Fozhi, and others raised troops against the Sui and sent troops to attack Guangzhou.

But he was attacked by the Feng family in Gaozhou behind the Chen family, Chen Fozhi was defeated and killed by Feng An, and Luzhou was also captured by the Feng family. Chen Longshu fled to Ning Changzhen's father, Ning Mengli, and wanted to ask him to send troops to attack the Feng family to take revenge, but Ning Mengli kept using excuses to shirk it.

A few years ago, the chieftains of Lingnan were attached to the Tang Dynasty, Chen Longshu descended to the Tang Dynasty, and was appointed by the Tang Dynasty as the Assassin of Luzhou, and was able to return to Luzhou. As soon as he returned to his hometown, Chen Longshu went against the Feng family everywhere.

This time, Feng Ning's two families secretly planned to raise troops, and they also contacted the Chen family, but Chen Longshu was resolute.

In the end, Feng Ang decided to let Feng Xuan and Ning Changzhen raise affairs in the west first, and he did not raise troops in the east for the time being, so as to contain the Tang army in Guangzhou and the Chen family in Luzhou.

But this matter will not last long, and now Chen Longshu is actively recruiting troops and horses, preparing to reinforce Ning Xuan and Ning Chun. Luzhou is not far from Jiangzhou, past the Yunkai Mountains in Douzhou, and the west is the sphere of influence of the Ning family.

"Lingnan people can't unite themselves, so how can they protect the interests of each family? A group of rat-eyed guys, Ning Xuan, Chen Longshu, the scum of Lingnan! ”

After scolding, Feng Ang called his subordinates.

"What's going on in Guangzhou, did Li Chao go to Guangzhou?"

"Guangzhou, as always, Li Chao's soldiers and horses have not yet arrived." The servant replied.

Feng Ang frowned, according to the decree has been issued for many days, Li Chao is going south from Liuqiu, and he is following the southeast trade wind, and he should arrive in Guangzhou soon.

Li Chao only had 5,000 soldiers, and when he came south, he must first go to Guangzhou to enter the port, replenish supplies and rest, and even replenish some soldiers and horses in Guangzhou.

"Li Chao hasn't arrived in Guangzhou yet, what is he dragging?" Feng Ang was a little puzzled.

・・・・・・

On the vast sea, a fleet is sailing through the wind and waves.

The sea was stormy, but fortunately, the storm was not large, and the fleet still maintained a formation sailing.

"It's not the right time for us to come here." Li Chao smiled and felt the ups and downs of the cabin.

Sailing at sea, encountering this kind of stormy weather, even the deck activities are gone, so I can only stay in the cabin, listening to the sound of the wind and waves, and I am bored.

"Come on, we've reached the Heavenly Cliff." Zhang Zhongjian was lying in the hammock, holding a small dried salted fish in his mouth, and said very calmly. A person who runs the sea all year round, this little wind and waves is really nothing to him at the moment.

"I've arrived at the Yazhou Strait, but unfortunately I can't see anything."

Feng Ang thought that Li Chao and his fleet, soldiers and horses were still on their way from Liuqiu to Guangzhou. But in fact, Li Chao had already passed Guangzhou, but he didn't stay in Guangzhou at all. Even after Li Chao left Liuqiu, he never docked at a port.

Taking advantage of the southeast trade winds, this fleet, carrying 5,000 soldiers, horses and supplies, went straight to Guangxi.

The target of the fleet was Qinzhou Bay.

An itinerary that no one could have imagined.

Even Feng Ang thought that Li Chao would definitely land in Guangzhou first, but Li Chao secretly went straight to Qinzhou.

If you hit a snake, you have to hit seven inches.

The rebels are mainly on the Guangxi side, and Qinzhou is another battleground. Although Li Chao only had 5,000 soldiers and horses, as long as he captured Qinzhou, then holding the port of Qinzhou, Li Chao would be able to obtain a steady stream of supplies and reinforcements from the sea.

Capture Qinzhou and directly disintegrate the main force of the Ning clan in the rebel army, and you can also get a strong stronghold, which can be attacked and defended, and then Feng An, the old fox, can only drink Li Chao's footwashing water.

Thanks to today's navigation technology, it is possible to sail completely off the coast.

"I'm really looking forward to seeing the reaction of the Ning family in Qinzhou now." Zhang Zhongjian chewed on the small fish.

Ning Changzhen was leading his troops to attack Jiangzhou, he definitely didn't expect that an elite Tang army would come out from behind him, and even directly copy his lair.

A few days later.

After the wind and rain, the sky is clear and clear.

At the mouth of the Qinjiang River in the port of Qinzhou, a fleet quietly arrived.

"King Yue, the Qinjiang River is full, and it is suitable for our fleet to sail in."

Li Chao stood on the deck of the ship and stretched his waist, and sat on the boat for a few days, although he did not get seasick, he also felt uncomfortable. "Then go up the river and drive the boat directly to the city of Qinzhou!"

The fleet sailed into the Qinjiang River.

In the middle of the river, there were fishing boats fishing, and they were stunned when they saw the huge fleet that suddenly appeared.

Not long after, Qinzhou City had already appeared by the river in the distance, and it caught Li Chao's eyes.

The alarm bell sounded, and the Qinzhou Ning family also found out about the arrival of this uninvited guest.

Li Chao ordered loudly, "Raise the banner of Datang and prepare to land!" ”
