After Gao Buer and Feng Ang signed an alliance, he immediately rushed back to Nanhai County, and told the officials who came to Nanhai County to do Feng An's work well, and at the same time to try to grow sweet potatoes in Nanhai County, because the world is about to be unified again, and when the time comes, food is the key to restoring the population.

The reason why I chose to try planting in Nanhai County is because the climate here is similar to Luzon, and it should be the most suitable for sweet potato planting.

Gao Buer told Nanhai County Shou Yin Qiao about the high yield of sweet potatoes and the situation of suitable grain and vegetables, and Yin Taishou immediately assured: "Please rest assured, this kind of good things that benefit the country and the people will be planted all over the world, otherwise the officials will not return to their hometowns." ”

This is the heavier vow of the year, Gao Fuji patted him on the shoulder as a sign of encouragement. Then he and Li Jing led the army to march towards Jian'an, and it was reported that Yu Shinan and his army were about to arrive in Jian'an.

Just as Gao Buer broke through the two counties of Longchuan and Yi'an all the way, and marched from the waterway to attack Jian'an, Xiao Milling in Baling took the lead in calling the emperor and founding the country Liang, and then Dou Jiande of Hebei also ascended the throne and called the emperor, and the country was called Xia. In this way, among the stronger anti-kings in the world, only Li Yuan, Wang Shichong, Yu Wenhua and others have not yet ripped off the last veil and are still supporting the puppets.

When the army led by Gao Buer, Li Jing, and Hongfu Nu arrived near Jian'an by boat, Yu Shinan had already led the army to occupy some fortresses on the periphery of Jian'an.

Jian'an, as Shen Faxing's lair, gathered no less than 150,000 troops at this time, he has an advantage in numbers, and many fortresses are controlled in hand, and he is very confident in the battle against Gao Fuji.

Gao Buer held a pre-war meeting in the barracks, and Yu Shinan said first: "Lord, the last general thinks that we don't need to divide our troops to capture other fortresses, although the thief army claims to be 150,000, but there are only 80,000 people in Jian'an City, as long as our army besieges Jian'an City, and then blocks the Minjiang River and its outlet with the water army, attracting enemy troops outside the city to rescue, if the other party comes to rescue, we can do a great thing." ”

Li Jing said: "General Yu is a good strategy, this is a tactic for encircling points and sending reinforcements, and his subordinates also agree." ”

Gao Buji said: "Since you have no opinions, then implement it accordingly." ”

The military strategy is certain, and the arrangement of troops is naturally completed by Li Jing and Yu Shinan, two great experts, and Gao Buer never intervenes.

In Jian'an City, Shen Faxing was also gathering generals to discuss tactics. At this time, Shen Faxing had already written to Yang Tong in Luoyang, calling himself the Great Sima, and set up a hundred officials, appointing Chen Guoren as Situ, Sun Shihan as Sikong, Jiang Yuanchao as the left servant of Shangshu, and Li Baiyao as the record of the Great Sima Mansion to join the army.

Chen Guodao: "Da Sima, our army has an advantage in numbers, and we are waiting for work, I think we should immediately attack on all fronts, take advantage of the enemy's unstable foothold, take him by surprise, and take him by surprise." ”

Sun Shihan said: "This move is not appropriate, although the other party is tired of the expedition, committed a taboo in the army, but the other party is well-armed, and the cavalry is the majority, we have not yet had a good strategy to deal with the cavalry, I think it is better to send men and horses from outside the city into the city, and it is the best policy to defend the city together." ”

Chen Guodao: "Although it is excellent to defend itself, but now the grain and grass in the army are enough for a month at most, if the other party does not retreat, it will still have to be short-handed, rather than this, it is better to take the initiative to attack while the morale is booming now." ”

Jiang Yuanchao said: "What Lord Situ said is not unreasonable, but our army lacks grain and grass, and the enemy army may not have enough grain and grass, and it is still the rainy season, and it is even more difficult to supply grain and grass over the mountains and mountains, as long as we send a cavalry to cut off the enemy's grain route, we are not afraid that the enemy army will not retreat." ”

Li Baiyao also said: "What Lord Servant Shot said is very true, and our army has already explored the enemy's northern grain transportation route, as long as Da Sima gives an order, I can command the men and horses to act." ”

Although Shen Faxing was a county guard before, but marching and fighting was not his forte after all, listening to what everyone said, it made sense, but he felt that it was more risky to take the initiative to attack, since his own side was blessed with unique conditions for holding on to the city, there was no reason to abandon it.

So he gave an order: "Li Baiyao led an army of 10,000 to attack the enemy's grain road, Sun Shihan is responsible for mobilizing 30,000 troops from outside the city to enter the city, we will stand in the city, and wait for the other party's grain road to be cut off and show chaos, immediately lead the army out of the city, and be sure to defeat the enemy army in a battle." ”

And they obeyed, and went and prepared to each other.

Gao Fuji found out that the other party mobilized people and horses into the city, which seemed to be preparing to stand in the city and stick to it, and he was in the middle of it. For the group of men and horses who went out of the city and prepared to attack their own grain routes, they had been handed over to Yu Shinan to deal with.

All the way south, there are few mountains and roads, and it is the rainy season, how can Gao Fuji take the land transportation supply? He gave full play to the advantages of sea ships, and all military supplies were supplied by sea, and the grain transportation team detected by the other party was just a suspicious soldier, specially used for fishing.

Just when Gao Buer and Shen Faxing were preparing for a big battle, Gao Buer received a letter from Li Yuan who was preparing to become emperor and asked for his opinion.

Gao Buji immediately replied: "When it is broken, it is broken, and it follows the trend." In order not to make the south of the Yangtze River regenerate new chaos, Gao Buer still continued to regard himself as the king of Chu, and after pacifying Xiao Milling, the two groups of people and horses merged again, and respected your brother as the emperor. If the war in the north goes well, I hope to send troops south as soon as possible to help, you can first take Shu from Hanzhong, if the war is erosive, the younger brother will lead the army north to help the war after pacifying the south. ”

After Li Yuan of Chang'an received Gao Buer's letter, he immediately ascended the throne and called the emperor, the founding name was Tang, and the Yuan Wude was changed.

Wang Shichong in Luoyang and Yu Wenhua in Jiangdu heard that Li Yuan was the emperor in Chang'an, and the heart of the emperor became stronger and stronger, and they all raised their respective puppet emperors as Ah Fu.
