The impact of Yang Guang's death is undoubtedly far-reaching.

The world, which was originally relatively peaceful, was completely chaotic, and there were beacons everywhere.

Let's talk about the north first, Xue Ju, the overlord of Western Qin, held the founding ceremony on the third day after receiving the news of Yang Guang's death and ascended the throne as emperor.

Under the influence of Xue Ju, Dou Jiande, Liu Wuzhou, Liang Shidu and others also called the emperor one after another.

Zhai Rang did not claim the title of emperor, because he and Li Mi were nervously attacking Xingyang, and finally attacked Xingyang in one go, and the troops pointed directly at Luoyang, with great momentum.

The north has become a mess, and the south is also changing.

The most prominent is not Li Zitong as emperor, but Xiao Mo of the Baling Gang and Lin Shihong of the Poyang Society, who were proclaimed emperors respectively and established the states of Chu and Liang.

Before this, although these two people had huge power, they had never raised an army against Sui.

But this time, after Yang Guang's death, he established the two countries separately with lightning speed, and basically carved up the area south of the Yangtze River.

Li Yizhi didn't pay attention to the chaos in the outside world and concentrated on dealing with internal affairs.

After Yang Guang's death, he did not claim the title of emperor, but supported Yang Guang's nephew Yang Hao as the emperor, appointed himself as the prime minister, and controlled all the military and political power of the imperial court.

To put it bluntly, it is to support the puppet so that he can occupy the reputation and righteousness.

After that, Li Yizhi divided the subordinates who had been following him in the name of the imperial court

After all, they were waiting for such a day.

Among them, Li Jing was named a general and controlled the Xiaoguo Army; Luo Tong was named general and transferred to the head of the Yangzhou Army; Yin Kaishan was the commander of the Praetorian Guard; Tian Wen is the imperial historian; Other Xue Zhen, Gao Shouyi, Shao Lingzhou and others, all kinds of rewards and appointments.

As for Shi Long, he was not interested in the official position, and he still only became a personal guard commander and sat in the palace.

However, Li Yizhi gave him the title of the founding county marquis, which was regarded as compensation.

Under Li Yizhi's strong combing, Jiangdu County quickly recovered, and just as he was about to gather everyone and decide to take the initiative, a series of bad news came one after another.

Jiangdu Palace, a side hall.

Li Yizhi convened Tian Wen, Li Jing and others to discuss the matter, and asked Shao Lingzhou to announce the news.

He is now Li Yizhi's newly established commander of the Jinyi Guard, integrating the elite forces of the Bamboo Flower Gang and the Beggar Gang, and absorbing many military masters, specializing in the collection of intelligence inside and outside the imperial court.

Shao Lingzhou said in a deep voice: "According to reliable information, Shen Faxing, Li Zitong, Lin Shihong, and Xiao Mo have reached an alliance and are ready to jointly send troops to attack Jiangdu from the east, southeast, south, and southwest, totaling nearly 400,000 troops. ”

"Not only that, but they seem to be lobbying Wagangzhai to send an army from the north to besiege us. At the same time, Du Fuwei's Jianghuai army was also preparing to take the opportunity to counterattack and regain its original territory. ”

Speaking of this, Shao Lingzhou paused and continued: "There is also news, Yuwen Valve Family Master Yuwen has been injured, and it is said that his strength has greatly improved. He has now issued a war letter to the prime minister in Luoyang, and he wants to fight a decisive battle with the prime minister in a month. You Chuhong, the Dugu valve, spoke out in support and said that he would be present to watch the battle. ”

Although the previous news seemed to be critical, it was very dangerous for the four strong enemies to attack.

However, even the 400,000 army is a rabble united by all parties, which is the opponent of Jiangdu's current 300,000 elite army.

But the latter one is extremely heavy.

You must know that Yuwen was injured, he was once a supreme powerhouse on the same level as Heavenly Sword Song Que, and now no one knows how far he has cultivated.

Even with the strength that Li Yizhi is showing now, it is difficult to be the opponent of the other party.

Tian Wen frowned and said: "Qianjinzi, if you can't sit down, with the current identity of the prime minister, how can you accept the challenge of Yuwen injury like a martial artist." ”

Xue Zhen and other civil officials naturally nodded in agreement and dissuaded Li Yizhi from refusing.

"It's so simple, the prime minister is originally a martial artist, if he doesn't accept the challenge, then he will be looked down upon by the world, and even the prime minister himself will leave demons in his heart."

Shi Long shook his head and said in a deep voice: "Besides, Yuwen Injury's challenge has been supported by Dugu Valve, once the Prime Minister does not agree, I am afraid that the next step will be to face the joint efforts of Yuwen Injury and You Chuhong, and the Prime Minister will be even more dangerous at that time." ”

Yin Kaishan and Shao Lingzhou nodded heavily, they naturally knew what was at stake.

For a while, the atmosphere in the field began to be depressed.

Li Yizhi looked at everyone's heavy expressions, couldn't help but chuckle, and said slowly: "Regarding the matter of Yuwen's injury challenge, I have my own opinions, and you can't help but worry." Shao Lingzhou, you will reply to me later, saying that I have taken the challenge and will wait in Jiangdu in a month. ”

Although Yuwen is injured very strongly, the strength he has shown before is not all of him, and it is not known who will die in the end.

Besides, it's not a month away.

In a month's time, with the help of the general momentum, Li Yizhi believes that his martial arts can be improved again.

So, he said to Li Jing: "General Li, you don't have to worry about the decisive battle. What you have to do now is to strike. What I want is not only to repel their attack, but also to take the opportunity to pacify Jiangnan in one fell swoop, so as to raise troops to the north. ”

Shi Long and the others saw that Li Yizhi seemed to have the confidence to deal with Yuwen's injury, although they were a little confused, but their mood was also a lot more relaxed.

Li Jing said in a deep voice: "Prime Minister, in fact, a few days ago, I had a plan to pacify the surrounding rebels, but I didn't expect that they would take the initiative to attack. So it's just right, we in the province are fighting siege warfare. ”

Next, Li Jing began to elaborate on his strategy.

According to Li Jing's prediction, Wagangzhai had just captured Xingyang, and it would definitely suffer heavy losses, and it would be impossible to send troops south in a short period of time.

Moreover, Wagangzhai now not only has to face the threat of Luoyang, but at the same time, Li Mi's power has grown again, and he and Zhai Rang can no longer coexist peacefully.

Therefore, in the next few months, Wagangzhai will definitely have civil strife, and there is still energy to go south.

As for Du Fuwei, he was already a lost dog, and as long as he left 20,000 Yangzhou troops to defend, he would not dare to move.

In this way, there is basically no threat from the north, and it is enough to deal with the south.

"Among the four major forces in the south of the Yangtze River, although the Chu State and the Liang State are huge, because they raised troops in a hurry and have never passed through the battlefield, even if there are many Sui troops among them, their combat effectiveness must not be strong."

"For them, we can occupy Danyang first, defend it, and then solve Li Zitong and Shen Faxing first."

"Shen Faxing is a former Sui general, self-reliant after rebellion, has been in battle for a long time, and his combat power is not weak. Although Li Zitong was born in poverty, he was the first to participate in Wang Bo's Changbai Mountain Rebellion, and the combat effectiveness of the army under his command was not under the Jianghuai army. ”

"Therefore, our first priority is to attack them, and after destroying them, we will turn around and march westward to pacify Lin Shihong and Xiao Miao. Their power is just beginning, and their foundation is unstable, as long as their main force is defeated, Jiangnan can fight down. ”

After talking about the strategy, Li Jing talked about the specific battle plan.

It is specifically divided into two parts, one part is that he personally led most of the Xiaoguo Army to sweep away Shen Faxing and Li Zitong.

The other is that the Yangzhou army and part of the Xiaoguo army crossed the river to occupy Danyang, and then echoed the north and south of Liyang to blockade the Yangtze River, so as to defend Lin Shihong and Xiao Miao.
