Chapter 264 Jiangnan Attack

When Li Yin was appointed as the general of Tiance, the atmosphere in Chang'an immediately became a little delicate.

Because the power of Admiral Tiance is too great, not to mention the nominal command of the whole country's soldiers and horses, just the establishment of Tiance Mansion and the establishment of hundreds of officials of Tiance Mansion by himself are almost comparable to those of the East Palace.

Li Jiancheng felt that his strength in the military was too weak, so he asked Li Yuan to make Yang Wengan, the guard of the Eastern Palace, the governor of Gyeongju, the governor of Gyeongju, and commanded the troops in the northwest of Chang'an, and then began to prepare for a strategy to deal with the Tiance Mansion.

In order to hide his clumsiness and prevent everyone from focusing on himself, Li Yin announced to others that because the world was gradually calming down, he decided to set up a museum on the west side of the palace to receive learned people from all over the world, and from then on, he began to focus on literary affairs.

In this regard, Li Yin soon issued a prince's decree, appointing the Qin Wangfu as Song Zhengben, the secretary room Fang Xuanling, Yu Shinan, the literary Chu Liang, Yao Silian, the main Bo Li Xuandao, Cai Yungong, Xue Yuanjing, Yan Xiangshi, the consultation of Su Xuan, Tiance Mansion engaged in Zhonglang Yu Zhining, the military advisory wine Su Shichang, the secretary Xue Shu, Cangcao Li Shousu, Guozi's assistant teachers Lu Deming and Kong Yingda, Xindu people Gai Wenda, and Song Prefecture Governor's Mansion Cao Xu Jingzong, all of whom served as bachelors of the Literature Museum in their official positions, and were on duty in three shifts every day to provide delicacies. The courtesy and grace are extraordinarily generous.

When Li Yin was in court and working, he always came to the Literature Museum to discuss articles and classics with scholars, and sometimes went to bed in the middle of the night. Li Yin also asked Kuzhi and Yan Liben to paint portraits of everyone respectively, and Chu Liang praised him, known as the "Eighteen Bachelors". Scholars were able to become candidates for bachelors in the Literature Museum, and at that time they were called "Dengyingzhou", which was a metaphor for them becoming immortals in one step.

……

At the beginning of this year, Li Zitong crossed the Yangtze River to attack Shen Faxing and capture Jingkou. Shen Faxing sent his servant Jiang Yuanchao to resist Li Zitong and fought at Yuting, Jiang Yuanchao was defeated and died, and Shen Faxing abandoned Biling and fled to Wu County.

As a result, Danyang, Piling and other counties surrendered to Li Zitong. Li Zitong appointed Li Baiyao, the former Shen Faxing's mansion, as the internal history waiter and the national son's sacrificial wine.

Since Du Fuwei returned to Tang after hating Jiangdu last year, he has been looking for an opportunity to defeat Li Zitong again. Although Du Fuwei had no ambition to dominate the world at this time, he wanted to go to Chang'an to enjoy Qingfu after pacifying Jiangnan.

At this time, Du Fuwei saw that Li Zitong had just finished the battle with Shen Faxing, and the soldiers were tired, which was a good opportunity, so he sent the left servant of Xingtai to shoot Fu Gong Qi and lead thousands of soldiers to attack Li Zitong, and appointed the generals Kan Ling and Wang Xiong as the deputy generals of Fu Gong Qi.

Fu Gongyi crossed the Yangtze River to attack Danyang, and after conquering Danyang, he marched and stationed in Lishui, and Li Zitong led tens of thousands of soldiers and horses to resist the enemy.

Fu Gongyi selected a thousand elite soldiers with long knives as the vanguard, and ordered a thousand people to follow behind, and said to the thousand: "If there is a retreat, behead it immediately." "And he led the rest of the men and horses, and he was behind the thousandth.

Li Zitong advanced in a phalanx, and Fu Gongyi's forward troops fought to the death, and Fu Gongqi attacked Li Zitong's phalanx with his left and right flanks.

The two sides had been fighting fiercely for several hours at this time, and Li Zitong's soldiers had not yet cultivated enough because they had just fought with Shen Faxing, so they were gradually not the opponents of the Auxiliary Gong Army.

Li Zitong was defeated and fled, Fu Gong Yi took advantage of the situation to chase, Wang Xiong Tan advised Fu Gong Yi to be careful of the enemy army to set up an ambush on the way to escape, but Fu Gong Qi did not listen to Wang Xiong Dan.

As Wang Xiong expected on his birthday, Li Zitong had been on the battlefield for a long time, although he was defeated, he still had the power to counterattack, and set up an ambush in favorable terrain on the way to escape.

At this time, Wang Xiongdan suggested to Fu Gongyi; "Li Zitong has no camp barriers, and he is satisfied with a small victory, if we take advantage of him to launch an attack without defense, we can defeat him."

Fu Gongqi said with a gloomy face: "This is too risky, this marshal has his own plan to defeat Li Zitong, General Wang will wait and see!" ”

Because Fu Gong Yi has stopped leading the army for a long time, so in the Jianghuai Army at this time, the prestige of the warlike and resourceful Wang Xiong Dan in the army has actually caught up with Fu Gong Yi, and Fu Gong Yi has a rare opportunity to lead the army to fight this time, and he does not want Wang Xiong to be in the limelight, so he refuses all his suggestions.

Wang Xiongdan frowned and retreated, and then, he led hundreds of his soldiers to attack Li Zitong at night, taking advantage of the wind and setting fire, Li Zitong was defeated and fled, and thousands of soldiers surrendered.

After this battle, Wang Xiongdan's prestige was greatly boosted, and when Fu Gongyi saw that Wang Xiongtan ignored him as the coach and went to war without authorization, his heart was already angry......

After learning of Wang Xiong's defeat of Li Zitong, Du Fuwei personally led 20,000 troops to join the Fugong army, and then besieged Jiangdu City.

After Du Fuwei's army besieged Jiangdu for more than a month, Li Zitong's grain and grass were exhausted, and there was an army that could not defeat Du Fuwei, so he had to abandon Jiangdu and defend Jingkou

As a result, all the land in Jiangxi was owned by Du Fuwei, and Du Fuwei also moved his governance office to Danyang, near Jiangdu.

Li Zitong felt weak at this time, and felt that Jingkou was relatively close to Du Fuwei's forces, so he led his troops to flee east to Taihu Lake, collecting scattered soldiers all the way, and finally got 20,000 people.

After recuperating in Taihu Lake for more than a month, Li Zitong suddenly attacked Shen Faxing in Wu County and defeated Shen Faxing's army.

Shen Faxing took hundreds of his relatives to abandon Wu County City and fled, Wu County thief handsome people heard that they sent his general Ye Xiaobi to meet Shen Faxing, Shen Faxing regretted it halfway, wanted to kill Ye Xiaobian, and went to Huiji instead.

Ye Xiaobi found out Shen Faxing's intentions, so he planned to secretly get rid of Shen Faxing, Shen Faxing felt embarrassed after learning that Ye Xiaobi was going to kill him, he didn't want to be humiliated, so he threw himself into the river and died.

Li Zitong's army was strong again, so he moved the capital to Yuhang, and took over all the territory of Shen Faxing, from Taihu Lake in the north, to Wuling in the south, Baohuiji in the east, and Xuancheng in the west.

The "Three Kingdoms Struggle for Hegemony" in the south of the Yangtze River has become a game of two tigers, attacking each other back and forth, but no one can help anyone.

Du Fuwei was a little tired of this, and Li Yuan wanted to leave Jiangnan and return to Chang'an as an official, but Li Yuan refused on the grounds that Jiangnan was undecided.

After learning of this situation, Fu Gongqi often met with his friend Zuo Youxian, and he didn't know what he was planning.

Wang Xiongtan was wary of this, and vaguely expressed his concern to Du Fuwei, but Du Fuwei did not care, thinking that Wang Xiongdan was too worried, and Wang Xiongdan had to give up.
