-- "Information Governance Guide; Yongji III

Chuzhou scenic spots, in the city of Zhenhuai Tower, Han Hou Temple and the suburbs of the drifting mother Temple, Han Hou Diaoyu Tai is the most famous, Chuzhou County guard Gu Yuanyong was the most fond of Zhenhuai Tower, not only often in the city here to summon banquets in the city, last night was here to command the Chuzhou defenders to resist the attack of the Yong army, but within one night, came to the town Huai Lou again, he is already a prisoner under the steps, although the Yongjun sergeant supervised by him did not have the slightest rudeness, but the bitterness and fear in his heart can not get rid of.

Yesterday at dusk, outside the city came to the Chuzhou camp that lost its armor and broke the army, he learned that the original Yong army had captured the Chuzhou camp, Luo Louzhen had been killed, he hurriedly opened the city gate to let these defeated troops enter the city, the person headed by Huang Shenjun, this person often helped himself ease his cheeks in front of Luo Louzhen, so he did not have suspicions. Unexpectedly, it was the evil star that entered the city, and Huang Shenjun was forced by the Yongjun army to earn the city, and Chuzhou, which was still barely able to fight, fell inexplicably. Finally, Gu Yuanyong was still a little wary, although he was entered by the Yong army, but he retreated to the town of Huailou under the protection of his own soldiers, and started a street battle with the Yong army, the Yong army was strong, but the defenders of Chuzhou were familiar with geography after all, and the two armies fought for a long time, and the victory was not divided. But when the night, 20,000 reinforcements from the Yong army poured into Chuzhou City, Gu Yuanyong's last hope was also shattered, seeing that the city of Chuzhou was full of Yongjun banners, and the remaining more than 1,000 defenders were surrounded under the Zhenhuai Tower, and he had no choice but to raise the city to surrender. After that, he was forced to lead the Yongjun to settle the people, and by the dawn, Chuzhou City had been truly owned by Dayong.

Gu Yuanyong, who had not slept all night, was summoned to Zhenhuai Tower by Pei Yun, the commander of the Yongjun Army, and walked up to the top floor that he was most familiar with, and he saw Pei Yun standing in front of the window, standing with his hands in his hands, overlooking the scenery downstairs. Although Gu Yuanyong didn't know the special surnames of these guards, he could also see that they were all very powerful, not like ordinary sergeants. He stepped forward with a bitter expression and said, "Gu Yuanyong, the minister of Southern Chu, paid a visit to Lord Jiedu. ”

Pei Yun turned around, stretched out his hand to hug each other, and after he got up, Pei Yun smiled slightly, and said: "Pei Mou was ordered by His Majesty Emperor Dayong to attack Huaidong, and the people of Chuzhou were offended, and the bloody battle last night inevitably hurt many innocents. ”

Gu Yuan Yongnuo agreed, but there was a heart of expectation in his heart, could it be that the Yongjun army was not ready to put himself to death, he resisted the Yongjun army for nearly half the night, and in the dark night, the damage of the Yongjun army besieging the city was not small, there were always about a thousand people, he originally thought that as long as he waited until Chuzhou was pacified, he would be settled by the autumn queen, if it wasn't for the fear that Chuzhou City would be slaughtered and revenged, he would not surrender, but this Huainan Jiedu envoy, the main general of the Yongjun army didn't seem to blame himself.

Gu Yuanyong had no experience in fighting with the Yongjun army before, so he naturally didn't know that in the eyes of the Yongjun, it was normal for the enemy to resist, and if he didn't resist, he would surrender, which would make them feel strange?

Pei Yun comforted Gu Yuanyong a few words, and his words were gentle, so that Gu Yuanyong gradually calmed down, at this time, Du Lingfeng walked upstairs angrily, gave a salute to this Pei Yun, and said: "General, that Chu Governor Shi is too rude, his subordinates were ordered to collect the documents and seals, but he refused to hand them over, and scolded you, saying that you used fraud to earn the city, and you are a sinister villain." ”

Gu Yuanyong chuckled in his heart, that Chu Governor Shi Jing Changqing was a Jinshi of the second class in the autumn of the second year of Tongtai, and he came to Chuzhou to take office four years ago. This person is a child of the Jiaxing family, originally according to his background and talent, he should have a higher official position, at least he can enter the Hanlin Academy, but he has a bumpy career, for many years in various places to join the army, Sima and other positions, never allowed to be promoted, and the people in the same department as him have been Jintang Yuma, only when he is not confused was appointed as the governor of Chu Prefecture. After he arrived, Gu Yuanyong paid careful attention, this person acted reasonably, appropriately, conscientious, honest and honest, and indeed a good talent, he once asked about the reason for his bumpy career, this person just sighed and was silent, which naturally has hidden secrets, but Gu Yuanyong doesn't like to probe other people's ** in his life, so he just puts it in his heart. Unexpectedly, this person is so stubborn, if he offends Yongjun, wouldn't he have lost his surname, his wife, concubines and children are all in Chuzhou City, if it is not good, it is possible for the whole family to be destroyed, thinking of this, he can't help but be secretly anxious in his heart.

Pei Yun's expression did not move, and he said lightly: "Ling Feng, what did you do?" ”

Du Lingfeng said: "I am angry, I have already asked people to tie him downstairs, please allow the general to allow his subordinates to behead this person to show the public, thinking that those who dare to be enemies with my Dayong will be rejected." ”

Thinking of the benefits of Jing Changqing's words, Gu Yuanyong hurriedly stepped forward and said: "The general forgives the sin, the general forgives the sin, Jing Changshi's surname is upright, or if he is offended, the general is a lot of tolerance, and please forgive his surname." ”

Pei Yun smiled: "Bring him, I want to see this strong long history." ”

Du Lingfeng was overjoyed, and the order went down, and after a while, the guards escorted a person up, this person was about forty years old, with a gentle appearance and a peaceful bearing, but at this moment he was covered in dirt, and his official hat had fallen somewhere, and there were blood stains on his forehead, which showed that he had suffered a lot along the way.

When he came upstairs, the man stood up and didn't kneel, but just glared angrily, Du Lingfeng saw him like this, and said angrily: "When I see my general, I don't kneel down and ask for guilt." ”

The man said coldly: "Jing is a courtier of Southern Chu, why do you want to worship Dayong's general?" ”

Pei Yun smiled when he heard this: "Gu Junshou has already led the officials of Chu Prefecture to surrender to my Dayong, you are now a minister, why don't you kneel?" ”

The man said angrily: "The county guard asked to surrender, I didn't ask for surrender in my long history, you invaded my country's land, hurt my Li Shu, and the people of Southern Chu all hated it to the bone, although they were forced to temporarily succumb to the situation, when the royal army went north, ploughed the court and swept the holes, and never let you escape from Huaidong." ”

Du Lingfeng was furious, stepped forward and slapped the man, knocked the man to the ground, pointed at the man and scolded: "I don't know who the people of Nanchu hate to the bone? Who doesn't know that Luo Lou Zhen is wreaking havoc in Huaidong, robbing the people's daughters, forcibly requisitioning food and wages, today our army posted a notice, mentioning Luo Lou's true subjugation, the people of Chuzhou are all happy, since you are so hard, why don't you have the courage to resist Luo Lou's truth, I hate you the most in my life, since you refuse to surrender, then you are a prisoner of our army, I will not kill you, you will be in front of the county guard mansion three times, see if you still have the strength to scold. His punch was extremely heavy, so that half of the man's face was swollen, and the corners of his mouth were bleeding, and the man seemed to be out of his mind, scolding bitterly, although his speech was slurred, but Du Lingfeng was even more angry when he heard it, he pulled out his saber and pointed at the man: "Okay, since you seek death by yourself, I will fulfill you." ”

Pei Yun originally just watched Du Lingfeng act lightly, and when he saw that he really wanted to wield a knife to kill, he stopped: "Forget it, he is also a loyal person, it is ominous to kill, put him in prison, don't be too embarrassed for his family." ”

Du Lingfeng said happily: "The subordinates obey the order. With that, he dragged the man downstairs.

Gu Yuanyong was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat, although Du Lingfeng was beating and scolding that disrespectful Changshi, but the eyes of the rest of the people were obviously spinning on themselves, and they clearly meant to kill chickens and set an example. Seeing that the capable subordinate officials were humiliated by the arrogant and domineering Yongjun sergeant, Gu Yuanyong felt a sense of humiliation in his heart, and he couldn't wait to scold these people too, and then let Pei Yun order him to be dragged out and beheaded, which could be regarded as loyalty to the country. His face was blue and red, and he was naturally seen by Pei Yun, but now the most important thing is to deter the officials of Chuzhou so that they dare not resist, so he pretended not to see Gu Yuanyong's face, the senior officials of Nanchu in Huaidong are all children of the Nanchu family, even if they ask for surrender, they are absolutely unreliable, Pei Yun only waits for Guangling to capture, and he will cleanse Huaidong and use it as the front line for Dayong to attack Nanchu, and now it is just a temporary forbearance.

After a while, Pei Yun left Wei Ping with 5,000 men to guard Chuzhou, and he led the army to join He Ying's troops and go to Guangling, and at the same time, Zhang Wenxiu's troops, who successfully captured Sizhou, also joined Guangling.

Guangling is the last gateway of Yangzhou, this place originally belonged to the jurisdiction of Yangzhou, and Yangzhou was called Guangling in ancient times, at the end of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the county was set up here, and then Guangling was changed to Yangzhou, and then changed to Guangling, and now it has been decades, and people have long been accustomed to this name. Guangling was used as a barrier to the north of Yangzhou, and if Guangling was captured, Yangzhou could be taken down in one fell swoop, so Nanchu set up a Guangling camp here.

Although Cai Lin, the deputy general of the Guangling battalion, is also Shang Weijun's lineage, but this person is born with an upright surname, he is Shang Weijun's nephew, if it is not for Shang Weijun's disagreement, I am afraid that the position of the Huaidong general will not fall to Luo Louzhen, so Luo Louzhen respects it and stays away, and ignores the Guangling battalion in his hands, Cai Lin's training is quite unique, restraining the soldiers, never disturbing the people, and there are many actions to help the poor, so the reputation in the Guangling area is very good, after the defeat of the Chuzhou camp and the Sizhou camp, there are many remnants of the army fled to Guangling, He was included in the camp, and after rectification, there were more than 30,000 people. After he reported the military intelligence to Jianye, he led the army into Guangling City, and he knew in his heart that if he wanted to confront the Yong army head-on, it would be a fiasco, so he was ready to rely on Guangling City to resist the offensive of the Yong army. He was self-aware, knowing that he could not defeat Pei Yun, and only hoped to be able to defend until the arrival of reinforcements from Southern Chu.

On October 9, Pei Yun's army arrived at Guangling, 100,000 Yongjun Chen soldiers under the city of Guangling, at a glance densely packed, Yongjun's camp horns are connected, and the bearing is solemn, just looking at it has made people feel that they can't win. Cai Lin pointed to the Yongjun camp and said: "If Guangling is lost, the Yongjun army can drive straight into Yangzhou, threatening Jingkou and Jianye, if you don't fight hard, the prestige of the Huaidong Army will be lost, this general has submitted a letter to Jianye, asking for help from Shang Xiang and General Lu, we only need to guard for ten days and a half months, we can wait for reinforcements, and you can be willing to die." The soldiers of the Guangling battalion were deeply favored by Cai Lin, and they all said loudly when they heard the words: "I am willing to die for the general." ”

The howling sound was far away, and the Yongjun under the city could hear it clearly, Pei Yun frowned, and said to He Ying and Zhang Wenxiu behind him: "It seems that Guangling City is not easy to capture!" He Wenxiu was a handsome young general, and he laughed loudly: "Why should the general worry, even if Guangling is difficult to attack, can he still stop my Dayong Iron Cavalry?" All the soldiers also shouted: "Please give the general an order to attack the city, do not conquer Guangling, and swear not to be a man." ”

Hearing this, Pei Yun whipped and pointed at Guangling City and said, "In that case, He Ying, you haven't made any achievements this time, how about letting you go first?" ”

He Ying was overjoyed, Pei Yun rushed to be the pioneer along the way, but he could only follow behind with the people and horses of the road, he had already been eager to fight, and when he heard that he was awe-inspiring, he rode his horse and walked towards the army, and after a while, the horn sounded, and the first wave of siege of the Yongjun army began.

No one thought that this attack would be a full half a month.

Cai Lin in Guangling can be said to be very popular with the people, he is not as incompetent and slack as Luo Louzhen, these years of preparation for the war is sufficient, the grain and grass in Guangling City is very sufficient, under his leadership, Guangling City unswervingly held out for half a month, the city and the city, are all in a mess, the Yongjun catapult, the arrow tower does not know how much damage, the Southern Chu army does not know how many arrows were shot, how much boiling oil and gold water was spilled, and the rolling stone and sassaloa are countless, and later, the houses near the city wall were demolished, and the stones and wood were used to defend the city. The Yongjun sent death squads to attack the city several times, but they were unsuccessful. The closest to success was on October 19, Pei Yun sent all the white-clothed battalion guards, a full sixteen people with three hundred death-daring warriors to the city, Cai Lin took his personal guards to meet the enemy in person, and fought hard for a long time, if it weren't for the sudden reinforcements from Gaoyou Lake in the east of Guangling City, I was afraid that Guangling City had been lost, this vicious battle, two people died in the white-clothed battalion, three hundred warriors did not survive, and Cai Lin's personal guards were also killed and wounded. But under the afterglow, the bloody Guangling City is still standing.

Pei Yun's expression was a little cold, although he was not prepared to capture Guangling in a few days, but the current situation was too unfavorable, and he had to end this battle at any time. Du Lingfeng walked over with a tired expression, although he was young, his martial arts were also among the best in the white-clothed camp, and the two were uncles and nephews, so Pei Yun was very concerned about him, seeing that he was covered in blood, Pei Yun frowned and asked, "How is it, is the injury serious?" ”

Du Lingfeng said: "I was only stabbed twice, and I didn't hurt my muscles and bones, but it's a pity that these brothers, the guards around Cai Lin are very clever in martial arts, and if the guards around Luo Louzhen were so clever, I am afraid that my uncle and I will be buried in the Chuzhou camp." ”

Pei Yun sighed and said: "Jianye Cai's family is a famous family in Southern Chu, so naturally there are some masters to escort it, and Cai Lin is Cai's sister-in-law, so it's no wonder." ”

Du Lingfeng said: "General, the Gaoyou garrison actually has the courage to come to the rescue of Guangling, is it that the reinforcements of Southern Chu have already prepared to cross the river." ”

Pei Yun shook his head and said: "Si heard the news from Cao, now Lu Can is asking Jianye to take over the military power of Huaidong, but Shang Weijun still refuses. ”

Du Lingfeng was stunned and said, "Doesn't Shang Weijun know that Huaidong is already in danger now?" ”

Pei Yun said with a smile: "This matter is a bit strange, it seems that someone cut off the news exchange between Huaidong and Jianye, and Guangling's request for help did not reach Jianye at all." ”

Du Lingfeng was at a loss, but he quickly put the matter behind him and said, "Uncle Shi, what should I do now, the Gaoyou defenders dare to go out of the city to fight?" ”

Pei Yun was about to answer him, and a scout came over to report: "General, it has been found out that those people are not Gaoyou defenders, but Gaoyou Lake bandits, the leader is named Guan Feng, this person surnamed Shui is outstanding, second to none in Gaoyou, because he resisted Luo Louzhen's forced levy of food and salary, he was forced to enter the lake as a bandit, and he robbed the rich and helped the poor, and won the hearts of the people of Gaoyou, but he and Cai Lin of the Guangling camp are friends of life and death, if it weren't for Cai Lin's cheeks, I am afraid that Luo Louzhen would have mobilized the navy to clear Gaoyou Lake, and now it is he who led his troops to rescue Guangling. ”

Pei Yun said with a smile: "This person is also righteous, but it's a pity that it's just a mantis arm as a car, He Ying, you said that you will go to get Gaoyou, Ling Feng, go to Chuzhou to pass on my military order, and transfer a battalion of the navy to Gaoyou to standby, and then under the protection of the navy, He Ying will cross the water to attack the east side of Guangling. ”

The generals suddenly received the order, October 20, He Ying attacked Gaoyou, October 21, a battalion of the navy arrived at Gaoyou Lake, originally before the capture of Yangzhou was not ready to use the navy, so the navy was on standby in Hongze Lake in Chuzhou, now the situation has changed, so I had to transfer a battalion of the navy to Gaoyou Lake to deal with the bandits.

October 22, the decisive battle of Guangling began, this time the Yong army was prepared, when Guan Feng went out of the city to attack the Yong army on the shore, the Dayong water army suddenly appeared, Dayong in Jianghuai and Nanchu confrontation for many years, the elite of the water army is not much worse than Nanchu, and these rabble of water bandits are really a world of difference, after a hard battle, the water bandits were wiped out, except for Guan Feng escaped back to Guangling, no life survived. The Yongjun army had already cut off the passage between Guangling and Yangzhou, and now the Gaoyou Lake in the east also fell into the hands of the Yongjun army.

October 23rd, under the continuous onslaught of the Yong army, Guangling City finally lost the ability to resist, although the soldiers of the Yong army strongly asked Pei Yun to capture Guangling in one fell swoop, and it was best to slaughter the city to vent his anger, but he was stopped by Pei Yun, and people shot arrows to the city to surrender.

Cai Lin, who was already more than ten years old in the middle of the month, looked at the arrow book in his hand, his expression was strangely indifferent, looking at the generals in front of him, they were all exhausted, and almost everyone was injured, now there are only more than 10,000 remnants in Guangling City, and a full 20,000 soldiers died on the city, and the Guangling soldiers and civilians were killed and wounded, and they really couldn't fight anymore. On the contrary, the Yong army outside the city, relying on sufficient siege equipment and strong combat power, although it was the besieging side, only lost more than 15,000 people, and the main force was still undamaged. Why haven't reinforcements come yet? Cai Lin can see such a question from the eyes of the soldiers under his command, the city defense is broken, there are no reinforcements outside, the soldiers are tired, and it is difficult for a famous general to continue to defend the city, not to mention that Cai Lin thinks that he is just a mediocre talent, and he smiled slightly bitterly, and he said gloomily: "Please surrender when you go out of the city." ”

Seeing the relieved expressions of the generals, Cai Lin knew that they were not happy because they could save their lives, and no one knew whether the Yongjun army would retaliate for heavy losses, but as long as they could be freed from the endless siege battles, this was enough. If there is no soldier who must be saved, there is no city that must be defended, and the morale of the army and people in Guangling has collapsed, and there is really no possibility of defending it.

After the generals left, a bronzed-skinned young man standing in the corner of the house came over and said, "Brother Cai, do you really want to surrender?" ”

Cai Lin glanced at him and said, "Brother Guanxian, you are already benevolent and righteous to Cai, take advantage of tonight, you can escape from Gaoyou Lake." ”

The young man said angrily: "Brother Cai, if it weren't for your help, my father and mother would have been killed by the government a long time ago, and when the second elder was dying, he ordered me to sacrifice my life to repay my kindness, how could I get out alone, if you die, what face do I have to see my father and mother." ”

Cai Lin said gloomily: "I should say that it is just a gesture, why should you take it to heart, besides, I am asking you to ask to see General Lu, and ask him to prepare to meet the enemy in Jingkou as soon as possible, I clearly said that I am just asking to surrender, with Pei Yun's reputation, I will not embarrass me, this matter is very important, and it is better than my surname, you take my token and go." ”

Guan Feng hesitated again and again, and said: "Since Brother Cai said so, I will go to see General Lu, big brother rest assured, when I see General Lu, I will go back to Huaidong and think of saving you." ”

Cai Lin smiled: "Okay, I'll wait for you to save me, you can leave at night, I'm tired, get ready to take a rest, it's rare that you don't have to worry about the Yongjun attacking the city one night, I should also have a good night's rest." ”

Guan Feng saw that he looked haggard, so he said goodbye: "Big brother cherishes, then I won't come to resign at night, don't worry, I will be able to come back in five or six days at most, and I will definitely come to look for you when the time comes, in Jianghuai, I can come and go freely alone, and I will never be discovered by the Yongjun." ”

Cai Lin nodded, turned around and went back to the inner room. That night, Guan Feng took advantage of the night to leave Guangling, and the Dayong Navy only had one battalion, and the precautions were not strict, so Guan Feng successfully dived into Gaoyou Lake, swam all night, and landed and went south.

October 24th, Cai Lin slept soundly for a night, after trimming his face, bathed and changed clothes, and changed into a green coat, he was born in a famous family, and also had a meritorious reputation, although he changed his military position, but he still did not take off the popularity of the literati, put on a green shirt, not like a military general who defended the city in blood, but like a scribe who traveled to study, not like the embarrassed appearance of the previous days, looking at the emaciated but energetic appearance in the bronze mirror, he smiled slightly. After breakfast, the generals and Guangling officials were already waiting outside, he glanced at everyone, and said with a smile: "You don't have to worry, the one who leads the people to resist is Cai Mou, if Yongjun wants to ask for the guilt, Cai Mou deserves it." Everyone looked at each other, and seeing Cai Lin with such a frank expression, everyone was much more relieved.

At the beginning of the time, Cai Lin let people open the north gate, and he led the generals and Guangling officials to walk to Yongying to ask for surrender, at this time, Pei Yun had already received a report, for the general of Southern Chu who resisted the army for half a month, he admired it in his heart, in order to show his respect, he also led the generals to line up to welcome, and the two sides were twenty zhang away from each other before stopping. The generals of the Yongjun looked at Cai Lin, they were all secretly surprised, this person looked like a white-faced scholar, and he couldn't imagine that he could defend the lonely city for half a moon under the onslaught of the Yongjun army.

Cai Lin looked at the solemn Yongjun army formation in front of him, and smiled faintly, he was a child of a family, a scholarly family, and he has always admired literature and light martial arts. He raised his hand, stopped the pace of the generals of Southern Chu, stepped forward alone, a few feet away from the Yongjun army formation, he stopped, looked at Pei Yun, the chief general of the Yongjun army, and said loudly: "General Pei, Cai Lin is delusional, leading the crowd to resist your army, between half a moon, blood spattered in the lonely city, if the general is to blame, Cai Lin bears it, please forgive the Guangling army and civilians." ”

Pei Yun also said loudly: "The war between the two countries should be like this, Pei is not talented, and he will not retaliate against the military and civilians of Guangling for this matter." ”

Cai Lin smiled loudly, drew his sword out of the sheath, and the deputy general Huang Cheng only said that he wanted to offer the sword seal, expressing his intention to surrender to sincerity, and then held the seal over, and Cai Lin led the sword to the neck and said: "Cai is the minister of Southern Chu, there is no reason to ask for surrender, and now he will apologize for his crime with death, and the matter behind him will be decided by Vice General Huang." "Anyway, in Pei Yun, "No!" The sword was drawn in the voice. Blood dripped down, and Cai Lin fell to the ground.

The people in Southern Chu were all stunned, and Vice General Huang screamed even more, and threw himself in front of Cai Lin's corpse and wept bitterly. Even though the generals of the Yongjun army originally had hatred, they were also resentful at this moment, looking at Cai Lin's corpse and sighing.

After a long time, the deputy general burst into tears, took Cai Lin's blood sword and sword seal, and bowed down and said: "Huang Cheng, the deputy general of the Guangling battalion of the Southern Chu Huaidong Army, on behalf of the Guangling army and the people, I would like to ask General Pei to surrender to the Huainan Jiedu envoy, but please forgive the soldiers and the people, and the last general and others are all at the disposal of the general." ”

Pei Yun stepped forward immediately, took the sword seal and said: "Pei Yun, the envoy of the Great Yonghuai Southern Festival and the general of Pingwei, I would like to accept the surrender of the Guangling army and people on behalf of our emperor, the general is relieved, Pei will not kill the Guangling army and the people to vent his anger." ”

The lieutenant general kowtowed and said, "The last general bows to thank the general for his forgiveness." Behind him, the generals and officials of Guangling bowed down and apologized. At this point, the bloodiest scene of the Battle of Huaidong finally passed.

After Pei Yun comforted Guangling to surrender to the generals, he returned to the camp and was about to arrange to march into Yangzhou, when a messenger from Chuzhou sent a letter from Wei Ping, Pei Yun opened it, frowned, and handed the letter to the generals for circulation.

Du Lingfeng was on the side, and he also read the letter, his surname was the most anxious, and he exclaimed: "How is it possible, Jing Changqing is obviously already in prison, and there are still family members involved, and the family has disappeared without a trace, how is this possible?" ”

Zhang Wenxiu, He Ying and other generals also looked at each other, Pei Yun said lightly: "A Jing Changqing is nothing, but this matter shows that our army is too hasty, pass my general's order, He Ying will take Yangzhou with me first, Wenxiu is responsible for cleaning all the towns in Huaidong, all those who are close to Nanchu must be checked clearly, and no more troubles can be left, you might as well leave some gaps, let those officials and people who are loyal to Nanchu flee south, so that Huaidong is also quieter, the emperor's intention is to hold Huaisikou steadily, even if you can't cross the river smoothly, Huaidong can no longer be lost. The generals agreed.

After the Yongjun repaired in Guangling for three days, Pei Yun led the army to Yangzhou, on October 29, the Yongjun soldiers arrived at the outskirts of Yangzhou, Yangzhou County abandoned the city and fled, the Yongjun soldiers attacked Yangzhou without blood, so far, the whole territory of Huaidong fell.
