Chapter 51 The Brave General Kan Ling

Chang'an, Wu Wangfu, the layout is regular, the craftsmanship is excellent, the pavilions are staggered, there is both the glorious and rich style, and the charm of elegance and elegance. The whole mansion is not only large-scale, but also has a high architectural specification, faintly with the momentum of one person under the identity of Wu Wang Du Fuwei, above ten million people.

Du Fuwei, the king of Wu, said to Kan Ling, who knelt in front of him and said goodbye to him, in the study: "I have decided to be loyal to the Tang Dynasty. This time, when you go to Jianghuai, you must mobilize the old Jianghuai Department to work together to eradicate the traitor and Fugongyou, and avenge the birthday of my righteous son Wang Xiong. I have two sons, and now you are the only one left, so I hope you will be more careful. ”

Kan Ling swore an oath: "King Wu rest assured, I will do my best to assist the Tang Dynasty, eradicate the traitor and assist Gongyou, avenge the birthday of the right general Wang Xiong, and also show the Tang Dynasty King Wu's loyalty to the Tang Dynasty." ”

Du Fuwei slowly walked to Kan Ling's approach, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Take care." ”

Kan Ling's eyes were red, and he knelt down to Du Fuwei and said, "Please take care of King Wu, Kan Ling will go." ”

After that, he got up and said goodbye and left the palace of King Wu.

More than ten days later, Li Feihu arrived at Yueyang City with the eunuch who announced the decree and Kan Ling.

After the eunuch read the emperor's will to Li Xiaogong, the governor of Jingzhou and the king of Zhaojun, he got up and returned.

Li Xiaogong looked at Kan Ling.

Kan Ling is thirty years old, left and right, eight feet tall, with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, a leopard's head and eyes, a swallow's jaw and a tiger's whiskers, and a sound like a huge thunder, like a galloping horse, majestic. He wore a bright silver helmet, bright silver armor, and a plain robe, white as snow, bright as silver, and extremely powerful.

Li Xiaogong secretly said in his heart: "True heroes", I can't help but love the abnormal.

Soon, two generals walked into Li Xiaogong's study.

Of these two generals, one Li Xuan has seen, it is Li Xiaogong who followed Li Xiaogong behind him and protected Zhang Liang's ordinary appearance and bright eyes Zhendong General - Li Ji; The other general was thirty-four or five years old, wearing a cooked bronze lion helmet with a large red tassel behind the helmet, straight and pointed; Wearing a beast-faced head swallowing armor, a delicate lion belt at the waist, two bronze heart goggles on the front and back, a red brocade robe with flowers, and tiger stripe gold-eyed boots on his feet, he is majestic and extraordinary. Long white face, three locks of slight beard, broad shoulders and round waist, wise and mighty.

After the two generals saw Li Xiaogong, they bowed and saluted:

"Shi Lijing, deputy governor of Jingzhou and marching commander of Jingzhou, visited the governor."

"Zhendong General Li Ji visited the Metropolitan Governor."

Li Xiaogong said with a smile: "The pharmacist (Li Jing's character) and Mao Gong (Li Ji's character) are here, sit down." ”

After the guests were seated, Li Xiaogong introduced Li Xuan and Kan Ling to Li Jing and Li Ji, and also introduced Li Jing and Li Ji to Li Xuan and Kan Ling.

Looking at Li Jing and Li Ji, Li Xuan couldn't help but feel happy. The two generations of military gods of the Tang Dynasty are fortunate to see them today. At the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, the reason why the Tang Dynasty was able to sweep the world and be invincible was that these two could be said to have contributed a lot, especially Li Jing, who was good at using soldiers, good at strategy, and never defeated in his life. Nanping Xiao Milling, Fu Gongyou, the north to destroy the Turks, the west to break the Tuguhun, for the Tang Dynasty has made great achievements, is one of the top ten famous generals in Chinese history, descendants commented that "the Tang is good at soldiers, as good as Li Jing." Li Jing led the army, so Yi Di was afraid of submission, and the universe was peaceful".

Li Xiaogong invited Emperor Li Yuan's holy decree and read it out: "Your Majesty has a decree to order the southern army to quell the rebellion of Fu Gongyou and capture and kill the rebel Fu Gongyou." ”

After reading it, Li Xiaogong said to everyone: "Let's discuss it, see how this battle is fought?" ”

As soon as the words fell, Li Jing stood up and said: "What Fu Gongyou relies on is the Yangtze River, if our army can break through the thief general Zhang Shan'an stationed on the Yangtze River in one fell swoop, it will give Fu Gongyou a heavy blow to the thief army." It is not only conducive to breaking the morale of the thief army, but also conducive to our army to quell the Jianghuai rebellion as soon as possible and end the war at an early date. ”

Li Xiaogong looked at Li Ji and said, "Pharmacist, you have a plan?" Defeating the thief general Zhang Shan'an is indeed a lot of benefits, but I don't know what the pharmacist's plan is, and he can cross the Yangtze River safely? ”

Li Jing said confidently: "Night attack." ”

Li Xiaogong asked, "Night attack? ”

Li Jing replied: "Zhang Shan'an, the thief general stationed on the Yangtze River, was originally the biggest water thief in Jianghuai, and after Fu Gongyou was recruited, his military discipline has not been rectified. Its military discipline is sloppy, the quality of its soldiers is low, and its notoriety spreads far and wide. The night attack, surprise, and unpreparedness, will definitely be able to break the thief Zhang Shan'an in one fell swoop and take down the Yangtze River natural danger. ”

Li Xiaogong looked at Li Ji, Li Ji got up and said, "The last general approves of the deputy governor's style of play." ”

After Li Xiaogong groaned, he said, "Okay, let's just fight like this." ”

As soon as the voice fell, Kan Ling suddenly stood up and petitioned: "The last general asked to be the vanguard and lead the team to attack Zhang Shan'an at night. ”

After thinking about it, Li Xiaogong replied: "It is rare that General Kan Ling is eager to fight and accurate."

A few days later, in the middle of the night, the night was dark and the wind was high, and the earth was already asleep, except for the gentle breeze blowing, and the empty water was silent. There was nothing but silence around. The sky was bright, the ground was dark, and the aggressive cold seemed to block out the light. The dark night seemed to be smeared heavily on the sky, and there was not even a glimmer of stars. The night fog hit, and the early spring night added a little coolness, and under the hazy moonlight, there were not a few stars in sight. The sky was not pure black, but a vast deep blue that spread into the distance.

Kan Ling secretly crossed the Yangtze River in a small boat with 500 Tang Dynasty daring people and arrived at the stone city that Zhang Shan'an urgently constructed. When Zhang Shan'an's subordinates noticed it, Kan Ling had already led his soldiers to climb to the top of Stone City. The two sides immediately engaged in hand-to-hand combat. After a bloody battle, Kan Ling's troops were less than 300, while Zhang Shan'an's troops stationed in Stone City had nearly 40,000 people, and Kan Ling's troops would be besieged in a corner of the city and could not move.

A Tang Dynasty general Zuo suggested to Kan Ling: "General, withdraw." The thief is powerful, what can he do? ”

Kan Ling stepped forward from the guard of the daring man, and said angrily: "If you are not in danger, how can you show a strong man?" My generation joined the army to kill the enemy, and it should be this time. ”

With that, he took the lead and slashed at the enemy's dense place, and the enemy fell one after another wherever he passed.

With a brave general like Kan Ling taking the lead, the morale of the Tang army's death-daring soldiers was high, and they followed closely behind, slashing and killing everywhere, the city head was empty, and the city gate was finally occupied by the Tang army.

Li Xiaogong and others on the other side of the river, when they learned that Kan Ling had succeeded, immediately led 200,000 Tang elites to cover up, poured into the city through the city gate occupied by Kan Ling, and launched a fierce street battle with Zhang Shan'an's troops. At dawn, the Tang army completely cleared the Zhang Shan'an troops who were defending the city, captured the thief Zhang Shan'an, and captured more than 30,000 people.

The Yangtze River Natural Insurance, which has since changed hands, is owned by Datang.
