Dongchang Mansion, Xihe, when the mist gradually dispersed in the early morning, Dadong Town on the east bank of the West River suddenly heard a loud gong, which suddenly made the quiet Dadong Town boil like a pot of boiling water.

The West River is a boundary river, the east bank of the river belongs to Dongchang Mansion, Xihe County, the west bank of the river is the jurisdiction of Songling Mansion, the water surface of the West River is not wide, but there are more than 20 zhang wide in the flood period, the main bridge across the river has long been destroyed, and the fishing boats on the river have disappeared in the last half a year.

Dongchang Mansion, there is still a Tang army in, but this Tang army does not belong to the Tang Dynasty seventy-two Zhichong Mansion sequence, but the reserve house, temporarily organized as an auxiliary army, the Tang army in the south to occupy Guangling, Dongchang, Xiaoxiang and other counties, most of them are stationed in the reserve house to stay.

At the end of last year, when the big change of contract, the Tang army of Dongchang Mansion was not in this agreement, because Dongchang Mansion is adjacent to the Tianhe River in the north, and it is completely possible to cross the river and retreat to the north bank.

Because of this, the Tang army of Dongchang Mansion still stayed in Dongchang and did not retreat across the riverbank, and the Tang Dynasty did not have the idea of letting it return to the north, and it seemed that it still had the intention of interfering in Chuzhou.

Leng Zhuo did not recapture Dongchang Mansion in a hurry after seizing the land of the ten prefectures of Chuzhou, naturally he had his considerations, between Chuzhou and Yangzhou, separated by a mountain range, but here in Dongchang Mansion it is fully bordered by Yangzhou, and there is no natural danger, taking Dongchang Mansion means that it is connected with Yangzhou, and at this time, the south of Qingzhou and the north of Yangzhou are in the hands of the Qingzhou army.

Leng Zhuo didn't want to get into trouble with the Qingzhou Army, so he left Dongchang Mansion as a separation.

But obviously now that the geographical role of Dongchang Mansion has disappeared, the Qingzhou Army has returned to Qingzhou and abandoned Yangzhou, Leng Zhuo will not let go of this great opportunity, the idea of not fighting Yangzhou in the past is not enough, first, the strength is not enough, and the second is that he does not want to deal with those princes so early, and he is called by people as guns, but now these two points do not exist, and taking Yangzhou is also a good trend.

The sound of gongs in Dadong Town shook the sky and broke the peace that had lasted for more than a year, and the Nanwu Army stationed on the other side of the river, after receiving the order of General Li Mu, launched the Battle of the Transition River at dawn.

Dadong Town has not been idle for more than a year, but there are many horses sunk along the riverbank, and many wooden towers have been built on the bank to monitor the movement on the other side of the river, but these watchtowers have not played a role, although a river can prevent a large group of soldiers and horses from crossing the river, but for the water system spirit people, this river is their toy, not only does not hinder, but allows them to play better.

The sound of the gong in the town was the same as that of the people on the arrow tower at the entrance of the town, and by the time the gong sounded, hundreds of soldiers of the Southern Armed Forces had already climbed over the river embankment and rushed to the entrance of the town.

At this time, the patrol team in the town was the first to arrive, and at the entrance of the town, the soldiers of the Southern Armed Forces collided with each other knife to knife and armor to armor.

After the reorganization of the Nanwu Legion, it has been filled with a large number of elites from the Northern Forbidden Army and even the local legions, and these soldiers who came through the exchange contract have been adapted and trained for several months and have been integrated into the Chuzhou Army, but this time it is the first time they have confronted the Tang Army since they were captured.

Chen Wuyang has been a soldier in the Youzhou Army for five years, because he is not a psychic master, and he is a civilian, although he has made many contributions to the Beihu battlefield, he is still just a team leader, he is a battalion captain all his life, and the position of battalion captain depends on luck.

From the northern battlefield, to Zhongzhou to suppress the rebellion, he was captured for two years, I thought it was over, but I didn't expect to come to Chuzhou, his life is the life of the team, and he actually changed his luck all of a sudden, and he actually became the commander of the battalion directly.

And what excites him the most is that after he became a battalion captain, he received three pills, and it was these three projectiles that changed his fate again, fighting on the battlefield for eight years, and two years in Datang, and doing heavy physical labor, but he didn't expect his body to recover a little, and he actually broke through the limits of his body directly and became a samurai in the army.

"Kill!" "Kill!" Fighting again, Chen Wuyang's blood all over his body was boiling, he was looking forward to his first battle of rebirth, the bright bloody war knife in his hand slashed a red light, the air was like a piece of soft tofu, cut by the blade, the sound of the knife sounded in the ears, the knife flashed, the bamboo armor of the soldier on the opposite side was broken in response, and then the shoulder, chest, directly oblique knife, blood splashed from the chest.

In the past, although this kind of bamboo armor is simple, it is difficult to seriously injure the other party with this kind of chopping, but after breaking through, the knife is sharper, and there is even a faint layer of knife on the knife, and this kind of bamboo armor is chopping without hindrance.

Blood splattered, but Chen Wuyang roared loudly, the depressed depression in his heart was spit out, and then raised the sword, Chen Wuyang's men had no enemies, and the battle at the mouth of the town was approaching the end, but in the town, some soldiers had gathered.

Not all of these soldiers are Tang Army, many of them are actually young and strong in the town, but these have been trained by the Tang Army to become part of the Tang Army, not every place, are attached to the empire, and the Tang Dynasty has not implemented cruel rule over the occupied areas, on the contrary, the Tang Dynasty occupies the land, restores order, resumes production, and even rarely loots local households, but actively strives for it, as long as the Tang Dynasty is given time, the places occupied by the Tang Dynasty will be quickly digested.

If Tang Jun is allowed to stay in Dongchang Mansion for two or three years, when the time comes, Leng Zhuo may have to spend a lot of money if he wants to recover this piece of Chu land.

But it's only been a year, the Tang army can do a limited amount, these soldiers in the town did not disperse, did not defect, and obeyed the order to fight with the Southern Wu Army, this is enough to make the Tang army proud, but after all, this is not an important place for the Tang army, in a short period of time, the Tang army may not be using troops and horses towards Chuzhou, unless there is another change in Chuzhou.

The battle of Dongchang Mansion began from Dadong Town, which was just a clarion call, behind this Chen Wuyang's battalion, there were three battalions, they could only be regarded as a pioneer, and when they crossed the West River, the two divisions of the Nanwu Army under the command of Li Mu had completed their assembly and began to march towards Dongchang Mansion.

In the north, there is a Dongchang Mansion in the way, this may also be the only battle that needs to be fought in Yangzhou, and the scale is not too large, Li Mu's 50,000 soldiers and horses have to face only 10,000 Tang Army auxiliaries, and 30,000 Tang Army trained local guards, the strength of the two sides, Li Mu completely has the upper hand, and there is not much suspense in this battle itself.

And from the south into Yang, it is even easier, from Nanxing Mansion to assemble, and then through the weeping blood valley, directly to the Jinhe ferry, take a boat, enter Yangzhou Xiqian Lake, from the Nanhu County wharf ashore, and then 50,000 troops divided into two roads, all the way north, into Jinfeng Mansion, Songjiang Mansion, and then into Yangzhou, the other part to the east, occupy Fuzhou Mansion, Ningbo Mansion.

There will hardly be a war in the southwest and south of the five provinces, because most of these places are pro-Leng Zhuo's forces, or the areas that the Nangong family can control, and the northern part of Yangzhou, Suzhou, Taicang, and Hangzhou occupied by the Qingzhou army, as the Qingzhou army went north, Zhou Yu's operation over the years also began to play a role, and this part of the soldiers and horses also began to subdue the three provinces.

Basically, Leng Zhuo occupied Yangzhou and had no big battle to fight, because Prince Qing Situ Hao knew that if he wanted to seize the throne and go north to Yunzhou, Yangzhou would not be able to defend it by himself, so he simply gave up here, and used this place to talk to Leng Zhuo about the conditions.

Leng Zhuo doesn't know how big Situ Piaoxue's chess game is, but it is very real that he can easily occupy Yangzhou, Yangzhou is weak in people's customs, and the soldiers and horses are not of great use, but Yangzhou is rich and has a developed foundation, and occupying it here is equivalent to Leng Zhuo having another source of finance and taxes, grain and grass.

However, there will be no big battle to occupy Yangzhou, but it does not mean that it will be smooth sailing, although Prince Qing is gone, but the forces that originally threw themselves into Prince Qing are still not small, some of these forces have gone north, but there are still many of them left in the place, no matter what the purpose, these forces must also be cleaned up.

The occupation is not the end, but only the beginning, compared to Chuzhou, which has experienced several baptisms of war and swept most of the state capitals, Yangzhou's problems are more serious, the wealthy clan families are intertwined, and the land annexation is serious.

Yangzhou looks supple, but once it touches the interests of those forces, it will become a hedgehog, and it can be said that if Yangzhou is straightened out, it is the most troublesome.

"The battle in Dongchang Mansion will not drag on for more than half a month, the Tang Army does not intend to defend to the death, judging from the information sent back by our spies, the Tang Army in Dongchang Mansion has begun to return north, and the Nanwu Army is making rapid progress, it is estimated that at the end of this month, it will be able to enter Yangzhou Taihu County!"

"Everything is going well on the south road for the time being, Jinfeng Mansion is the place where we have been operating for the longest time, most of the nobles and wealthy families in Jinfeng Mansion have a good relationship with us, so when our army took over Jinfeng Mansion, there was no resistance, and the local guards were also very cooperative, and the other way, all the way to Fuzhou Mansion and Ningbo Mansion, encountered a little trouble, but the problem is not big, and it is currently steadily advancing, receiving the place!"

"And in Suzhou, General Zhou's soldiers and horses have begun to take over all parts of Suzhou, and Hangzhou is also going on at the same time, the only thing worth worrying about is Taicang Mansion, according to the latest news, the strength of the landlords of Taicang Mansion in the salt thief attack is likely to be a trouble, and the landlord power of the entire Taicang Mansion is gathered, it is likely that there are more than 300,000 elites, and the combat effectiveness will not be inferior to the average Tang Army!"

"It can be said that Taicang Mansion is one of the biggest problems in Yangzhou, for here, there is no conclusion yet, and there is no way to start participating in the internal government, but excluding this uncertain factor, the occupation of the entire Yangzhou will end before September, and during this period, the young master may have to go to Yangzhou to meet with the Nangong family, after all, Yangzhou is not better than Chuzhou, military occupation is easy, but power reception is not easy!"

Leng Zhuo nodded, he already had an understanding of Yangzhou's problems, and the biggest problem was actually none other than the Nangong family
