Chapter 113: Crossing the River and Crossing the Northern Expedition

The Danyang soldiers raised by Wang Lang seemed to be inferior to Li Ming's guards in terms of force, and under their suppression, these three hundred Danyang soldiers were either killed or captured, and there was no other situation.

The news of the government also spread out one after another, alarming Xu Huang and Zhao Yun who were resting outside the city, not to mention that Xu Chu almost immediately led the guards to kill them. In the end, when they saw that Li Ming was fine, they were relieved.

At Li Ming's signal, the large army quickly took over the defense of Wanling, temporarily placed the county lieutenant and his 500 soldiers under house arrest, and at this time, Wanling County also officially changed hands.

At the same time, Li Ming had already ordered someone to take Liu Miao down first, and together with his family, he was strictly guarded. Then he looked at Wang Lang and said with a look of pity: "In my impression, Jingxing (Wang Lang's cousin) has excellent governing ability, not to mention a county, it is only a matter of time before he becomes the third duke." Seriously, how much Li hopes to get your allegiance......"

Wang Lang has checked his information in modern times, mainly because the section where Zhuge Liang killed Wang Lang was too classic. Later, I found out that this person is a talent, and the key is that he has a grandson Queen Yuanji, who is Sima Zhao's wife and Sima Yan's biological mother. Wang Yuanji herself is still a strange woman, dignified and virtuous, and can act as a mastermind, which is a good match for her children and grandchildren.

But the problem, now Wang Lang has just gotten married, and it is said that he had a son two years ago, but he died a year ago. As for whether it is Wang Su I don't know, but it should not be. The son was not born, and of course the granddaughter was ethereal.

When Wang Lang heard this, he didn't show an expression of eagerness or pleading, he was even a little worried, worried that Li Ming's next sentence would be reversed. After all, he designed to kill Li Ming, so there must be someone to take this responsibility.

"Jingxing, you shouldn't use assassination! If you are upright, then even if you lose, then I still have an excuse to let you live. But what do you want me to do now? Spare you, or even reuse you? If I do that, I'll face endless assassinations in the future, and there will be no end to it! Li Ming sighed, "So you can only die, there is no second choice!" ”

Yes, Wang Lang used the wrong means. Liu Biao used this method, killed those disobedient generals, and then seized the military power of Jingzhou, and appointed Cai Mao as a military advisor, and relied on the Kuai brothers to quickly consolidate the position of assassin in Jingzhou.

Liu Miao and Wang Lang obviously planned to play this trick, but they didn't think about it at all, this trick can only be criticized if it works. If the assassination fails, what awaits them?

"Come on, send Wang Taishou on the road!" Li Ming gritted his teeth, Wang Su and Wang Yuanji were still very interested, but it was a pity that someone had to bear the price for this matter.

"Regret not being the ...... at the beginning" Wang Lang sighed, and was carried out by the guards, and after a while, the guards brought his head back.

"Buried according to the identity of Taishou!" Li Ming sighed, Wang Yuanji was gone.

Liu Miao and his family took good care of him, and when he learned that Wang Lang had been killed, he naturally realized this result. Sending someone to assassinate the county guard under his command, especially if Li Ming and Wang Yu have not raised the anti-flag, then he will not be reasonable.

The next day, when he saw Li Ming and Wang Yustill coming to pay a visit, he knew that this was the time for reckoning.

"The promise is still valid!" Liu Miao gave the price code, "Li Ming is engaged in other driving, and Wang Yu is engaged in governance." Liu knew that he would not escape death, and begged Riyao to spare my family......"

"Yes, but for the first five years, they must live in Huiji County, and after five years, I will naturally give them their freedom!" Li Ming nodded, and offered his own price.

Liu Miao had no choice at all, and five years of house arrest was not unacceptable, and the key was that Li Ming promised to give Liu Miao's three sons (Liu Ji, Liu Shuo, and Liu Shang) enough learning environment, and they could even enter Huiji Academy. Promise that in the past five years, they will be given regular monthly living expenses, at least so that they can have no worries about food and clothing.

Seeing this, Liu Miao had nothing to say, he could only obediently be this puppet, and officially appointed Li Ming as a separate driver, and Wang Yu was engaged in governance, directly monopolizing the No. 1, 2, and 3rd positions.

At the same time, Li Ming announced to the public that Wang Lang conspired to kill the Dahan county guard, and was defeated and ambushed. As for the position of county guard in Danyang County, Li Ming appointed Xun Biao to hold it. Xun Biao is already very familiar with the work of the county guard in the position of the county chief bookkeeper, and it was originally intended to replace Gu Yan of the county guard, but it is not impossible to serve as a county guard.

After Liu Miao took office, he determined the new administrative office of Yangzhou, which was changed from Shouchun to Zhuji County, which was of course Li Ming's meaning. In other words, it is the result of the discussion between Li Ming and his subordinates.

The defenders of Danyang County came to the various passes to announce almost immediately with the order of the assassin. Most of them chose to surrender, and the few who chose to resist were also quickly defeated under the crusade of Huang Zhong and Xu Huang.

At this point, the four counties of Jiangdong have completely fallen under Li Ming's actual control. As for Lujiang County, which is across the river, Lu Kang also expressed enough goodwill. He respected Liu Miao as a assassin, in other words, he recognized Li Ming's right to rule, but obviously he only intended to be an uncle who listened to the tune and did not listen to the announcement, which made Li Ming very dissatisfied.

Lu Jun persuaded this younger brother, but Lu Kang was unmoved and was still entrenched in Lujiang County.

Li Ming and the others did not forget their purpose of going north, Liu Miao went out with the army under his arrangement, but he and Wang Yu led the army to the Yangtze River.

A fleet of boats had quickly arrived at the scene, and at the same time, the fleets had quickly begun to connect, and a pontoon bridge had been quickly erected. This pontoon bridge can directly allow two horses to move forward side by side, but in order to be safe, Li Ming will only let the horses pass one by one.

"My subordinates have seen the lord, and the sailor has blocked the Yangtze River according to your orders!" A tower-like man of more than 1.9 meters came to Li Ming and asked for instructions, he was Zhou Tai, the ruler of the water master.

The former Pengzehu bandits, but he didn't expect that he was now a qualified naval general.

"Well, hard work! Escort us across the river at once! Li Ming nodded and immediately gave an order.

"Whoa!" Zhou Tai was originally a taciturn person, and immediately arranged it after receiving the order.

The army began to cross the river, and now the time was approaching November, so it was not suitable for the expedition. However, what Li Ming lacked most was warm materials and fur clothes, and the south was not so cold, so the soldiers still persevered.

Five days later, the large army entered the county of Zhishu in Lujiang County. Lu Kang had already learned the news of Li Ming's arrival, and knew that the other party was coming today, so he had already gone out of the city thirty miles to greet him.

"How's the situation at the front?" After Li Ming met Lu Kang, he immediately asked.

"Yuan Shu has stirred up disputes in the border areas of Jiujiang County and Lujiang County many times, and during this period, he also promised many high-ranking officials under his subordinates, but his subordinates are the Taishou of Lujiang, which is the result of the appointment of the imperial court. Now that the imperial court has no other orders, then Lu Kang has the obligation to protect Lujiang County for the imperial court and not be occupied by Xiaoxiao!! Lu Kang said solemnly.

Betting on both sides is probably what it means. The Lu family already has Lu Jun as Li Ming's person, so he can't also join Li Ming's command, and the family can continue to carry out this tradition.
