"Big brother, where are we going? Go back to Chang'an? "On July 23, the second year of the Apocalypse, Li Xuanqing took Qiaoxi and others from Tianjin to take the Fuxing to the south. But it's strange that Li Xuanqing didn't tell Qiaoxi where to go, which made Qiaoxi very curious.

"The old man left the Yellow Crane Tower in the west, and the fireworks went down to Yangzhou in March." Li Xuanqing said with a smile: "Let's go to Jiangnan in July, so the destination has to be changed, let's go to Hangzhou to have a look, if it's not bad, by the way, visit Suzhou and Shanghai." ”

"Big brother is planning to build the Yangtze River Delta? It's a bit too early, right? Shanghai is estimated to be inferior to the scale of a fishing village now, right? The two of them built a pergola on the bridge of the Fuxing, watched the coming and going of the ship, and frowned and said: "At this time, I am afraid that the financial situation will not be able to bear the construction again." ”

Li Xuanqing took a ladies fan and shook his head while fanning Qiaoxi: "I won't mention the construction of the Yangtze River Delta for the time being, let's just go and have a look." However, Hangzhou, as the end point of the southern line of the Grand Canal, can be developed in advance, and Hangzhou can take advantage of its own location advantages when shipping has not yet risen, bringing together the resources of the entire south, and carrying out urban development one step ahead of schedule. When shipping is booming, you can also take advantage of your own sea advantage to develop shipping, and Hangzhou may become the leading city of the delta at that time. Li Xuanqing smiled, Hangzhou in this era really has greater advantages and geographical location, if you give some advice, maybe it will really become a reality.

"But these things can not be achieved until the south is unified and the resources of the south are integrated." Li Xuanqing is not so impatient, and the current Tang Empire is not only approaching the idea in his heart little by little on the map, but even the economic development and industrial and commercial layout are also filling the idea in his heart little by little. The ten-year livelihood and ten-year cultivation that I said to Cen Tianshi and others at the beginning can basically be said to be realized while unifying.

When Li Xuanqing and his wife went south along the canal, the war in Lingnan and Quanzhou also began to enter the countdown. The Xuanying Guard and the Flying Eagle Brigade under the command of Hu Xiaosi decided to act immediately after nightfall. They picked a particularly good time, Fan Hui wanted to discuss with Wang Chao how to face the attack of the Tiance army, according to the time agreed between the reinforcements outside the city and themselves, tonight the two reinforcements will choose the opportunity to sneak attack the Tiance army outside the city, and the defenders of Quanzhou will also go out of the city to support at that time. But now Wang Chao and Fan Hui's minds are focused on beware of each other, so they will not rest assured that they will put each other alone in the city no matter what. So after thinking about it, the two decided to discuss this matter properly.

But Hu Xiaosi was sure that the two of them would definitely break up unhappily, and how to save themselves to fight the opponent when reinforcements were about to arrive was the biggest problem. In fact, Hu Xiaosi guessed well, Fan Hui and Wang Chao knew that the other party thought the same as themselves, but there was still no way to reach an agreement on the opponent's vigilance, in their opinion, the Tiance army outside the city was doomed to fail under the sneak attack of the coalition army, but the night attack has always been a matter of killing the enemy and losing eight hundred, how to let the other party go to death, and it is the king to reap the benefits of the fisherman.

After Fan Hui came out of Wang Chao's station, he was angry, and his heart was also full of murderous intentions. He was originally a person who did not hesitate to kill without the slightest hesitation, so immediately after walking out of the other party's station, he planned in his heart how to get rid of Wang Chao.

However, Fan Hui's idea may never be realized. Su Xiaohu hid in the corner of one side, and on the chain crossbow in his hand, a shining arrow glowed with cold light, which was already aimed at the backbone of the Min army after Chen Yan's death. It's just that the arrows used by Su Xiaohu are not the standard of the Tiance Army, and even this time all the weapons of the Flying Eagle Travel are the same, and all of them are the weapons of Wang Chao's army. What Hu Xiaosi has to do is to blame Wang Chao. After estimating the time and distance, Su Xiaohu quietly pulled the trigger, only to hear a slight sound suddenly sound in the air, and Fan Hui, who was sitting on the horse under heavy protection, quietly fell.

The chaos caused by Fan Hui's fallen figure has already made Hu Xiaosi, who was hiding on a tall building in the distance and watching, unable to make any waves, and the strength of the Flying Eagle Brigade has almost no resistance for Fan Hui's guards, so almost at the moment when Su Xiaohu succeeded, Hu Xiaosi's Xuan Yingwei also started to act, pretending to be a Fujian army soldier to go to the Fujian army camp in Beicheng to ask for help, reporting that Fan Hui was seriously injured by Wang Chao's sneak attack.

"Quanzhou City is destined to be in chaos tonight." Hu Xiaosi threw down a sentence and began to take the remaining Flying Eagle Brigade soldiers to meet Su Xiaohu's retreat, and at the same time threw down several corpses of Wang Chao's personal guard soldiers in the place of fierce battle, so that it seemed to be ironclad evidence in the Fujian army soldiers who came to reinforce later, and Wang Chao's army, which was so good to die, also rushed over after hearing the hustle and bustle in the city. Even if Wang Chao arrived in person, he couldn't stop the officers and soldiers of the Fujian army who were already red-eyed, and in desperation, he began to order his army to guard the camp, and at the same time began to inform several generals who had been bought by himself to start annexing the Fujian army on the spot anyway.

However, in this way, the cause of Fan Hui's death was also completely exposed, and the soldiers of the Fujian army who grabbed Fan Hui's body immediately attacked Wang Chaojun's camp under the leadership of Fan Hui's family, and the two sides fought in Quanzhou City. This scene made Wang Chao, who had grabbed part of the command of the Fujian army, anxious, and the time agreed with the reinforcements outside the city was getting closer and closer, but he fought with the Fujian army, if he missed the time, wouldn't he have to die together? This was unacceptable to Wang Chao, so after hesitating for a while, he made a decision that he would not be able to see later, sending his troops out of the city to participate in the night attack, relying on the Min army he had subdued to deal with Fan Hui's descendants who had already killed the red-eyed.

Maybe Wang Chao himself didn't expect how happy Xue Wanli, who had been on standby outside the city, when his troops drove out of Quanzhou City, Tiance Army, who had been acting, instantly made a gap to let Wang Chaojun, who did not know the truth, enter the camp, and then surrounded them on all sides, completely cutting off all ties between them and the city.

This scene also made Yang Tiancheng and Wang Houchun, who were sitting in the rear, cheer in unison, sometimes this opponent's assist was really more accomplished than his own plan, and immediately ordered Xue Wanli to encircle and suppress the main force of Wang Chao's army at all costs, and at the same time ordered Chen Yu's main army to immediately go south to Quanzhou, and be sure to sweep the entire Fujian before the reinforcements from other Lingnan feudal towns arrived.

At this time, news also came from other roads on the front line that Qian Ning had not waited for Lu Guangchou's follow-up men after fighting a battle near Fuzhou, and had already gone south to join Li Tianyi's cavalry corps to participate in the plan to attack Lu Yanchang. Chai Jia's army was preparing to continue southward and prepare to attack Lu Guangmu's second army.

"What about Little Four? Haven't come back yet? Yang Tiancheng looked at the sky, and he didn't have much interest in the things in the city.

"I just received the news that Fan Hui's descendants have been inseparable from the people in the city who are controlled by Wang Chao. Xiao Si said that he still had a plan, and asked me to wait two hours before attacking the city. Wang Houchun said with a smile: "This guy wants to make the Fujian army kill each other, and it is best to kill Wang Chao in the chaos army." ”

In fact, Wang Houchun's speculation was right, Hu Xiaosi began to implement this plan after learning that Wang Chao had made a mistake in his busy schedule and transferred his army out of the city, sending people to secretly infiltrate Fan Hui's descendants, instigating his generals to summon the lower-level officers and soldiers of the Fujian army controlled by Wang Chao to defect and completely disintegrate this force, and at the same time give Fan Hui's family ideas for them to open the city and surrender. The latter had no effect for the time being, but the first move made Wang Chao frightened, realized that there was a problem with his deployment, and began to think of a way to retreat.

But at this time it was too late, Wang Chao anyway, the generals at this time could not control the officers and soldiers below, a large number of Fujian soldiers after learning of Fan Hui's death will be directly aimed at Wang Chao, this time Wang Chao was forced to a corner, Wang Chao, who had only a handful of troops around him, was quickly broken through the camp by the other party, and the army around him was immediately killed and wounded in the fierce battle, and soon only one of them was captured alive.

At the moment of life and death, Wang Chao flatly denied that he had killed Fan Hui, but the arrows that were immediately pulled out of Fan Hui's corpse and the corpses of several personal guards who were carried up made him unable to defend at all, and he was finally dismembered by a random knife. At this time, Xue Wanli outside the city had also surrounded Wang Chao's army at this time, and Wang Chaojun, who was not clear about the situation, suffered heavy losses at the beginning, and Wang Chaojun, who had too many casualties over time, kept raising his hand to surrender.

"Marshal, the command asked us to immediately send the captives to Fuzhou and transport them to the northeast with the transport ship." After receiving the order, Xue Wanli immediately took action, tied up groups of captured Wang Chaojun soldiers, and sent people to Fuzhou overnight.

The battle outside the city lasted even shorter than inside the city, and Xue Wanli immediately prepared to attack the city after eliminating the main force of Wang Chao's army. After killing Wang Chao, the Min army in the city originally planned to hold a funeral for Fan Hui overnight, but the shouting and killing outside the city made some of the generals sober up, and Fan Hui's death meant that the last backbone of the Min army had fallen, and the rest of the people didn't know what to do for a while. But immediately after the siege force of the Tiance Army was ready, the voice of Toucheng gradually gained the upper hand. Fan Hui's son Fan Changlong persuaded all the Wenchen generals present to lead the team to open the gate of Beicheng and raise a white flag to surrender. As a result, he became the first person in Chinese history to hold a white flag and surrender, opening a historical precedent.

After Fan Changlong led his team out of the city, he met Xue Wanli, and he had no opinion on the Tiance army entering the city, and his only request was to allow him to lead the Min army to participate in the encirclement and suppression of Wang Chao's remaining men and horses to avenge his father. At this time, Xue Wanli had no opinion on this, and directly asked the remaining personnel of the Fujian army to be reorganized into three battalions on the spot, one battalion stayed in Quanzhou to assist the command to pacify the people in the city, and the remaining two battalions followed the large army that came after and set off to Zhangzhou, Tingzhou and other places to participate in the follow-up battles. It's just that Xue Wanli didn't expect that an unintentional move by himself at this time led to the birth of a famous general. Fan Hui's son, Fan Changlong, won all the way in the ensuing battle and made many contributions to the reunification of Lingnan.

However, with Fan Changlong's surrender, all the secret guards and all the soldiers of the Flying Eagle Brigade who participated in the Xuanyingwei Attack this time were issued a gag order, and everything that happened in Quanzhou City during this time was covered up forever, and even the secret files of the Xuanyingwei headquarters did not record this action at all.

However, at this time, the head of the command Yang Tiancheng and Wang Houchun were planning the next task, after Quanzhou City was taken over by Xue Wanli, the army almost immediately moved from Quanzhou towards Zhangzhou, and Chen Yu's brigade also drove immediately, and the main army began to attack Wang Chao's territory north of Zhangzhou. The battle of Lingnan was in full swing after Quanzhou was breached, and the rapid reversal of the situation gave the surrounding princes no time to react. On the way south, Lu Guangchou and a detachment of Liu Shizheng's army received the news that Quanzhou had been breached, and urgently retreated. However, Lu Yanchang, who was between Fujian and Lu Guangchou, was attacked by Qian Ning and Li Tianyi, Tingzhou was besieged, and the surrounding people and horses were quickly defeated by Li Tianyi's main cavalry force and became an isolated city. And Lu Guangmu's army was ambushed by Chai Jia again north of Zhangzhou, facing the same opponent twice, Chai Jia was the bigger the more experienced, but Lu Guangmu's army could no longer support it, and almost fled all the way back to Chaozhou.

At this time, no one expected that Xue Yang's brigade, which was tasked with the flowering task of the southern line of the Tiance Army, suddenly appeared in Yongzhou and Shaozhou, making the empty city defense of the two places change three times a day, and the messengers who chased Liu Shizheng back were going towards Hengzhou one after another. And Xue Yang decided to take the lead in attacking Yongzhou after weighing, using the brutality of the explosives bag, Yongzhou was successfully taken after a day and a night of rapid attack, and Liu Shizheng's army retreated urgently in the middle of the siege of Hengzhou, preparing to return to Shaozhou.

It's just that what he may not have expected is that Xue Yang, who was in Yongzhou City at this time, had also turned his attention to him. This general, who is the best at raiding and fighting big roundabouts, will once again stage a miracle in the northern Qianbei region this time.

However, these headquarters in Quanzhou are not known for the time being. Wang Houchun and Yang Tiancheng began to enter the city after deploying all the troops on the front line, first paying their respects to the late Fujian envoy Chen Yan, and then giving false advice to his family about Fan Hui's death. After pacifying the basic affairs in the city, he immediately summoned the rear and asked Li Jipeng to urgently come and take over all affairs in Fujian.

"Little four, tell everyone below about today's incident to strictly implement the confidentiality system, and you are not allowed to disclose half a word to the outside world." After Wang Houchun found Hu Xiaosi and arranged this, he stretched his waist and said with a smile: "The battle of Quanzhou is almost the end of the battle of Lingnan Domain. The rest of the army will just push all the way. ”

"Summons the Navy Department to go south as soon as possible, I heard that the Jing Navy in the Jiaozhi area has a good naval force, if we fight Guangzhou, we will definitely fight them." Yang Tiancheng arranged for the staff officers to urgently draft an order and send it to the rear to mobilize naval warships to go south, and then said with a smile: "In the early years, I heard Xu Xingxia say that Guangzhou has recovered a little bit of vitality, and I don't know how much of the former prosperity is still there. ”
