"Prime Minister, the army is ready, waiting for the Prime Minister to send troops." Cheng Yanjin, who was outside, walked in and said loudly: "The Son of Heaven has also left the palace and is ordering the platform." ”

"Have Pei Yuanqing's soldiers and horses already set off?" Li Xin nodded and asked.

"Arrived in Nanyang before." Cheng Yanjin hurriedly replied.

"Let's go!" Li Xin nodded, hugged the eldest grandson Wujian, then hugged the daughters in turn, and finally touched Li Chengzong's head and said: "Chengzong, you are sitting in the capital teacher, the most important thing is to study, Pei Shiju and Du Ruhui are both important ministers of the country, you have to follow behind and study seriously, and when your father is the teacher, your homework will be examined." ”

"The retainers obey." Li Chengzong also fell to the ground like a little adult.

"Okay, let's go on the expedition!" Li Xin nodded with satisfaction, his eyes swept over the women, and then he walked out of the hall, this is why Li Xin did not ascend the throne and claim the emperor, if he is called the emperor, the opportunity to conquer in person like this is almost rare, unless it is a battle to destroy the country, or when the soldiers are approaching the city, it is Li Xin's turn to go on the expedition. Where is it as casual as it is now.

However, this time it was to lead the army to exterminate Jiangnan Xiao Milling, and the momentum was huge, so Pei Shiju and others also played one after another, and they wanted to hold a departure ceremony, after all, this is a battle to destroy the country, which is much more important than the previous battle in Guanzhong and the capture of Bashu, Li Xin did not stop it, so Pei Shiju and others prepared an expedition ceremony.

Yining Tianzi also walked out of the dormitory very cooperatively, standing in front of Yining Tianzi, Li Xin felt a trace of awkwardness, Yining Tianzi had a peaceful face, there was also a Bao Siam master by his side, the great monk since Bashu met the Son of Heaven, never returned to Bashu, stayed with Yining Tianzi as a child, explained Buddhism to Yining Tianzi, and even Yining Tianzi asked Li Xin to build a temple in the harem. Li Xin also asked people to build a temple for Yining Tianzi for Yining Tianzi and Master Bao Xian to study Buddhism.

"If the prime minister goes here, he will definitely be able to wipe out the remnants of the south in one fell swoop, and I look forward to the prime minister's triumphant return as soon as possible." The Son of Heaven Yining said to Li Xin: "I will pray for the prime minister day and night in Chang'an. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Li Xin's impression of Yang Yu is still very good, unlike Yang Tong, Yang Yu is a grateful person, he can position himself very well, the cooperation between the two is very pleasant, Li Xin also maintains the etiquette that a courtier should have in front of Yang Yu, Yang Yu is not embarrassed Li Xin. If there is nothing important, he always asks Li Xin to see him, and rarely asks for anything.

"The queen mother has chosen a queen for me, she is a woman from a small family, she gave birth well, and on the day of the prime minister's triumph, I will get married." Yang Yu's voice was very calm, as if he was just saying it casually.

Li Xin also knew about this, and even Wei Fuer personally let himself check it. Li Xin didn't pay too much attention to this matter, and after asking Jin Yiwei to investigate the situation of the woman's family, he quickly allowed it. I believe that it won't be long before that small family surnamed Gao will become a relative of the Great Sui Dynasty. It's just that now I look at Yang Yu's expression. I don't seem to be very keen on this family business.

"Congratulations to the emperor." Li Xin was stunned for a moment, and quickly said.

"Let's go! The generals are waiting for you! Yang Yu didn't speak, but pulled Li Xin down the steps, above the square. Tens of thousands of soldiers stood there respectfully, Li Jing, Wei Chigong, Pei Renji and other generals stood aside, and Pei Shiju, Du Ruhui and other civilian officials dressed in Zhu Zi had smiles on their faces. This was the first war of national destruction initiated by Li Xin, and it also marked that Li Xin officially set off a war to unify the world. This is the same as the previous seizure of Liangzhou and the hegemony of the Western Regions, which is also to expand their own living space, maintain the smooth trade routes in Guanzhong, seize Bashu in order to get the granary of Bashu, and strive to gain geographical advantages in the war to occupy the south of the Yangtze River.

Now that he is finally going to attack Daliang and defeat Xiao Milling's battle, who is not happy about the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, even Li Jing also sighed slightly, such a battle to destroy the country is very rare, but it is a pity that the Turkic attack is imminent, Li Xin and Li Jing must have one person to stay in Guanzhong, the Turks killed by Li Jing at the beginning fled in embarrassment, if it were not for Shibi Khan personally leading the army to rescue, I am afraid that there would be nothing to do with Jieli Khan on the grassland. It was a good choice to let Li Jing deal with Jieli Khan.

"The rebel Xiao Mill, who disobeyed the emperor's orders, seized the south of the Yangtze River, and was ordered by the Holy Father to conquer Xiao Mill, and he will definitely defeat the enemy." Li Xin took the tiger talisman from Yining Tianzi's hand, raised it in his hand and roared loudly.

"Ten thousand wins, ten thousand wins."

The soldiers below let out a roar, the army rested for several months, the morale of the army was greatly boosted, and the soldiers who were eager to make contributions wanted to follow the commander behind him to fight the world, Li Xin from the conquest of the world to the present, there are few times when he fails, except for the last time he was fooled by the enemy, which led to the death of Shen Guang, there is no time to fail, and now it is even more to attack a second-rate military force like Xiao Miao, it is difficult to succeed, these soldiers naturally raise their hands to support.

"General, Lone is not in Guanzhong, and I also ask the General to lead the three armies, hold this sword, and come in person." Li Xin beckoned Li Jing, untied his sword from his waist, and handed it to Li Jing.

"The last will obey." Li Jing didn't dare to slack off, he quickly bowed to the ground, took the sword with both hands, holding this sword, Li Jing could dispatch the soldiers and horses left behind in Guanzhong, as for Li Xin's own soldiers and horses, there were only 60,000 soldiers. It shows that Li Xin's trust in Li Jing is not under Du Ruhui at all, but Li Jing can also be Li Xin's trust.

"Send troops." Li Xin nodded, patted Li Jing's hands, and then waved his hand and said.

In the autumn of the second year of Yining, Li Xin led 60,000 troops to set off a war to march into the south of the Yangtze River, more than 100 well-known or unknown generals in the accompanying generals, Li Xin's strength in Guanzhong for several years of painstaking management for the first time sent out a strong combat effectiveness, as a pioneer general Pei Yuanqing had already rushed to Nanyang, Nanyang guard general Guo Xiaoke also led the civil and military forces of Nanyang City outside the city Li Xin's arrival, outside Nanyang City, the flag covers the sky and the sun, stretches for more than ten miles, a black between heaven and earth, and the atmosphere of slaughter fills the sky.

"What has Wang Shichong done recently?" Li Xin looked at the east on the city wall, where there were Wang Shichong's soldiers and horses, which made him very annoyed, Wang Shichong is a flea, if he wants to destroy it, he will be contaminated with trouble, if he doesn't want to destroy it, the other party is jumping around in front of him, which makes him very disgusted.

"Prime Minister, why don't you destroy Wang Shichong's prestige before destroying Xiao Mill?" Guo Xiaoke's nature jumps out, after being the main general of one party all these years, he still has not changed his character, he is in charge of Nanyang, is Li Xin's back road, but Wang Shichong is always making trouble in front of him, and he is extremely dissatisfied in his heart.

"General Guo, your task is to take care of the prime minister's back road, at this time to challenge Wang Shichong, I am afraid it will attract Wang Shichong's attention, Wang Shichong's soldiers and horses will soon come to their senses, his soldiers and horses will be killed, and the prime minister's grain and grass will be in danger." Ma Zhou persuaded him.

"Wang Shichong's courage is really big, aren't you afraid that King Gu will give him a visit before attacking Xiao Miao?" Li Xin said indifferently. He now has 60,000 soldiers and horses in his hands, plus Nanyang's soldiers and horses, sudden attack, may not be able to attack Wang Shichong, you must know that although Wang Shichong has some soldiers and horses, but in fact his soldiers and horses are not as elite as Li Xin, after Li Shimin attacked Luoyang, Luoyang was broken, Wang Shichong got Li Xin's help, only to defeat Li Shimin, but Wang Shichong himself also suffered heavy losses, up to now, Wang Shichong has not recovered much, in order to expand the army, the army is not very good, even in Nanyang, Hongnong and even Tongguan have many Zheng people who fled to Guanzhong, which was caused by Wang Shichong.

"He was worried that the prime minister's soldiers and horses would suddenly go east and attack his territory, and last year, the prime minister's soldiers and horses attacked Luoyang from Nanyang and attacked Li Shimin." Liang Shuo said with a smile.

"If it weren't for the fact that he was useful, how would Lone keep him until now?" Li Xin said disdainfully.

"These leaders are Wang Renze, Wang Renze is fierce and brutal, I heard that he has a fight with Zhu Cang." Guo Xiaoke said disdainfully.

After Li Xin heard Zhu Cang, his face was much gloomy, in the last years of the Sui Dynasty, the war was not stopped, and the war was to kill people, this is nothing to say, and it is possible to eat at some point, but Zhu Cang is a strange person, he likes to eat human flesh, his army does not produce, and there is no base, so Zhu Cang's army has nothing to plunder, and there is a lack of food in the army, so Zhu Cang asked the soldiers to cook women and children to eat, and said to his subordinates: "There is no better food than human flesh, as long as there are people in other towns, Why worry about starvation! "Such a person is a beast, and Li Xin has a very bad impression of him.

"Can you find Zhu Cang's whereabouts?" Li Xin asked very calmly. Guo Xiaoke and the others were stunned, but they didn't dare to speak, although Li Xin's voice was very calm, but there was a faint hint of murderous intent.

"Prime Minister, Zhu Cang has 200,000 troops, plundering between the Han River and the Huai River, and his subordinates have no regular migration, each time they break through a state and county, and before they have eaten up the grain accumulated in the state and county, they will move again. This time should be in Dengzhou. Shen Qianqiu hurriedly said to Li Xin: "However, Dengzhou is just before our army, and now it is possible that he has left Dengzhou, but Zhu Cang does not have the courage to resist the prime minister's army." ”

"Then find where Zhu Cang is, before we destroy Xiao Miao, we will destroy Zhu Cang, pass on the will of the king, kill Zhu Cang, seal the Marquis of Longzhong, capture Zhu Can, and seal the Marquis of Xinye." Li Xin's face was gloomy and he said, "For such a man-eating maniac, it's not a pity to die. ”

"Yes." When the generals heard this, they were also sad for Zhu Cang, and Li Xin's will, I am afraid that Zhu Cang will face endless assassinations. (To be continued......)
