Chapter 639: Top Speculator

Xu Yuanlang is also fateful, just after withdrawing from Juancheng, Yang Xuanzong arrived with a large army, and as soon as he arrived, he sent a message to Li Jing, asking for instructions on how to fight next.

He wasn't familiar with the situation after all.

Li Jing is also an old yinbi, he guessed that Xiao Mo must want to cross the river as soon as possible, so he sent someone to Yuancheng to inform Xiao Miao, I was going to Hebei, and I accidentally bumped into you, my target is not you, let's go our separate ways.

Xiao Mo is not an ordinary person, as the so-called soldiers are not tired of cheating, it is impossible for him to believe Li Jing's words.

But Li Jing did withdraw.

The rangers sent by Xiao Mo found out that Li Jing's army had gone in the direction of Linhuang County to the west.

This time, Xiao Mi learned to be obedient, and sent people to erect three pontoon bridges on the river bank east of Yuancheng, and after the pontoon bridges were built, he first sent more than 1,000 scouts to cross the river, and then scattered to explore the traces of the officials and soldiers.

After making sure that there were no officers and soldiers, he began to command the army to cross the river.

At the same time, according to Li Jing's arrangement, Yang Xuanzong drove from Juancheng and walked downstream along the Yellow River.

In later generations, Fan County, north of the Yellow River, and the Great Sui was south of the Yellow River, the county magistrate and other chief officials had long since disappeared, and the city was now occupied by a gangster leader in the city, that is, HSH.

As soon as Xuanzong's army arrived, the hooligan leader Xu Min opened the city to greet him, this is a smart man, and he turned black to white.

In fact, Li Jing's deployment this time was an estimate, he estimated that Xiao Mo would continue to cross the river at a certain time, and he cooperated with Xuan Zong to attack each other from both sides of the strait.

The art of war is a combination of planning and calculation, and whether the calculation is accurate depends on the generals and half on luck.

But as long as there is a three-point possibility, it's worth a try.

After half of the army passed, Xiao Mo received the information, Li Jing came back with a special kill, and Xiao Miao, who knew that he was deceived, led his henchmen to cross the river first, leaving Xu Xuanche and Wan Zan to guard Yuancheng.

Li Jing was arrayed outside the city, motionless.

The other party reacted too quickly, Yuancheng had already put on a defensive posture, Li Jing was unwilling to forcibly attack the city, he was just here, he had already interrupted the other party's crossing of the river, and cut Xiao Miao's army into two parts, so the next thing could only be to rely on Xuan Zong to kill on the other side.

Xuanzong has a long way to go, and he came a little slower, although he collided with Xiao Miao's army, but people blindly ran to the south, he marched for a day and a night, and he really couldn't chase it, so he could only watch Xiao Mi slip away like this.

Continue to chase, it's impossible, Shandong is full of rebels, if he dares to go deep into the hinterland, he will become the target of everyone.

So Xuanzong was stationed on the other side of the river, which was equivalent to blocking the back road of the Xiaoguo army in Yuancheng.

There are still more than 15,000 rebels in the city, and in this situation, Xu Xuanche and Wan Zan know that the general trend has gone, and the best way is to surrender.

So Li Jing took back Yuancheng without spending a single soldier and subdued the rebels Xu Xuanche and Wan Zhan.

"These two are the first evil, and they must be killed," Han Hyo-gi suggested.

Li Jing smiled and shook his head.

Liu Hongji said: "You can't kill it, they surrendered on their own initiative, if they are killed, no one will dare to surrender to the imperial court, and they should be entrusted with a heavy task to attack Zhai Mohou stationed in Wuyang County with me." ”

Li Jing nodded and said, "Bring these two in first." ”

After a while, Xu Xuanche and Wan Zan were brought to Li Jing, both of whom were generals in the army, and they followed Hu'er to the north, but they were bewitched by Xiao Mo and became rebels.

In fact, they just chose life between life and death, just like this surrender to Li Jing.

"As long as the two of you assist the general to take Wuyang County, I can ensure that the two of you continue to lead the army by atonement," Li Jing said with a kind expression: "After taking Wuyang, you can go back to Jiangnan and assist Wei Ping to stabilize the south." ”

Xu and Wan glanced at each other and said in disbelief: "Can Manager Li trust us?" ”

Li Jing said with a smile: "Half a year ago, you and I were still robes, the world is impermanent, only to today's situation, today the two of them lost their way and returned to the court, it is a righteous move, Your Majesty treats the southerners well, you are clear, I will not want to embarrass you, the Wagang thief is the first evil of the country, and I will be ordered to suppress it. ”

I'm asking you to be cannon fodder, but I'm telling you plain.

Li Jing's frankness also made Xu and Wan feel at ease, as cannon fodder, it's not that they haven't done it before, this time with the support of the elite of the imperial court, it will definitely be easier to fight.

The reason why the two of them believe in Li Jing is also because the other party's reputation in the army is really good, and the two of them know that Li Jing is a person who keeps his promises.

If it were Yang Xuanzong, the two of them would not believe it easily.

"The two of us are willing to be the vanguard of the Governor's command, and the main attack on the fortified city," the two said.

Li Jing nodded and said to Liu Hongji: "Send a document to Xingyang Qu Tutong and allocate 50,000 stone of grain to Fan County." ”

After that, Li Jing looked at Xu and Wanduo: "These grains can be regarded as a strong march for the two of them to go south." ”

Xu and Wan glanced at each other and arched their hands: "Thank you Mr. Li for your kindness." ”

In this way, Li Jing took the lead and captured Guancheng in the south of Wuyang County in the second half of the first month, while Xu Xuanche and Wan Zan led the 15,000 Xiaoguo army to Guixiang.

As for the direction of Jijun, it has already been made into a pot of porridge.

After Shi Huaiyi landed in Tuwanxu, he supported Li Jing of Weixian County as quickly as possible, while Zhai Rang's main force was to smash Liyangcang.

At the beginning, Tu Wanxu and Su Lie couldn't bear it, but with the arrival of Huangfu Wuyi, they gradually regained some disadvantages.

Liyang Cang, one side must be defended, and the other side must be taken, so it will inevitably become a never-ending strangulation game.

Countless people were killed on both sides, and the fighting was dark.

At this time, Yang Ming was already preparing to leave Luoyang.

The snow melted, the sun was sunny and cloudy, and it was time for the main cavalry to come out.

Yang Ming transferred another 15,000 people from the Luoyang garrison army to form an army of 30,000 people and marched towards Xingyang.

In Xingyang City, Qu Tutong met his old acquaintance.

When Yang Ming was very young, he was already very familiar with Qu Tutong, because Qu Tutong was the head of the guards of Yong'an Palace at that time, and he shoveled for Yang Ming a lot.

"The tiger father has no dogs, and Ming Quan (Qu Tu Shou) is doing a good job this time," Yang Ming smiled at Qu Tu Shou and said: "In the future, follow Lonely, often under your father's wings, it is difficult for the eagle to spread its wings." ”

Qu Tushou was overjoyed and hurriedly bowed down to Yang Ming.

Qu Tutong laughed: "The minister doesn't feel sorry for him, serving the country is the purpose of the family, if he dies on the battlefield, the minister will only be proud." ”

"Haha." Yang Ming smiled: "Don't say this kind of thing in front of me, others don't understand you, I don't understand yet?" ”

The others laughed too.

The person who serves the top leader is the best at talking, Qu Tutong is such a person, Yang Ming has been very familiar with him since he was a child, what kind of person the other party is, he knows it very well, his mouth is not reliable, and he is very reliable.

Then, Yang Ming looked at Zheng Xu and said with a smile: "The public guards Xingyang, loyalty can be learned, now Henan Dading, the aftermath of Xingyang, you have to be good to assist King Xun, and after the canal is stable, Caoyun will continue, the grain depends on Luoyang, and Luoyang cannot do without Xingyang." ”

"Keep it in mind," Zheng Xu nodded, he already knew about Zheng Guanyin's entry into the East Palace, although he didn't have a reputation at the moment, but he knew that the reputation was a matter of time or time.

Yang Qingzhi, who was sitting below, was also very weak-hearted, as the Taishou of Xingyang, he did not do a good job, and after getting the news that the prince was coming to Xingyang, he did not sleep well, for fear that Yang Ming would scold him.

At his level, there are not many people who dare to scold him, after all, his father is Yang Hong.

Waiting to be scolded, it is better to take the initiative to admit his mistake, so Yang Qingzhi took the initiative to plead guilty: "The minister is at fault, he did not guard Xingyang well, so that the thieves are rampant, the luck is interrupted, and the country suffers serious losses, all of which are the fault of the minister." ”

"Brother is serious," Yang Ming raised his hand and said with a smile: "Wagang is powerful, this time, tens of thousands of elites were used to counterbalance the rebellion, but they still can't be quickly suppressed, brother has done his best to stick to Xingyang and not break the city." ”

Yang Ming really felt that there was nothing wrong with Yang Qingzhi, and the biggest advantage of the other party was that he knew that he couldn't do it, so he gave the power to Qu Tutong.

A person who has self-knowledge is a capable person.

Historically, this person was quite awesome, endured humiliation, and secretly lived eight words, which he used to the point of reaching the peak.

After Yang Guang was killed in Jiangdu, he first surrendered to Li Mi and changed his surname to Guo, and after Li Mi's defeat, he descended to Wang Shichong and changed his surname back to Yang, and took the lead in supporting Wang Shichong to kill Yang Tong, the king of Yue, who was of the same clan, usurped the throne, so Wang Shichong married his niece to him.

After Wang Shichong became the emperor, he changed his surname to Guo again, and he estimated that he knew that he was not doing personnel.

As a result, seeing that Li Yuan was powerful, Wang Shichong was about to be defeated, abandoned his wife and mother, took refuge in Li Yuan, was named the Duke of Xun Guo, and changed his surname back to Yang.

Having been on the left and right all his life, driving in all directions, this is a top speculator.

Yang Ming will definitely not believe such a person, and he will not treat him as his own, don't you like the surname Guo?

"Shi Wanbao first led an army of 10,000 troops into Fanxian County to replace Xuanzong, and Xuanzong immediately crossed the river to support Li Jing," Yang Ming, who received the latest military information, decisively ordered: "If you take Wuyang, it will become a situation of east-west attack, and the Wagang thieves will be destroyed soon." ”

Yang Xuanting said: "Nachen's cavalry, can you also set off?" ”

"You go now," Yang Ming nodded, "Immediately cross the river to support Liyangcang." ”

Xuan Ting was stunned, I shouldn't have this mouth, I haven't eaten yet, let me go now?

Glancing at Xu Shiji behind him, the two got up at the same time and left.

After the two of them left, the group began to eat.

The people in the city can't live anymore, but the food here is still very hard.

Yang Yichen Dou Kang, this time he didn't follow, and the two of them also knew in their hearts that the prince would not use them, mainly because they were not familiar with them.

They are not familiar with the prince, and the prince is not familiar with them, so it is not easy to work together.

Although Yang Yichen was also Shi Wansui's subordinate, this person was the first to choose to quit in the merit robbery incident that year, and at that time, Shi Wansui didn't recognize him very much.

Therefore, in ancient times, if you identify a big brother, you must be dead, otherwise you are not a person inside and outside.
