There are mainly two kinds of generals in the Great Sui Army, one is capable of fighting, and the other is known how to control soldiers, that is, they are proficient in the art of military training.

Needless to say, what can be fought mainly occurs in war-torn times, and there is no war to prove that you can fight, so the generals in peacetime are mainly those who know how to train soldiers, as long as you have the ability to control the soldiers under your command, you can be a general.

The ability to train soldiers is either taught by the master or passed down from the ancestors, and it is impossible to expect to become a talented person by self-study, because if you are self-taught, you will not be able to go up even if you become a talent.

Of course, there are exceptions, the backstage is hard enough, and someone can praise it.

For example, Yuan Shikai, if his father was not Li Hongzhang's person, could Li Hongzhang let him go to Tianjin Station to be responsible for training the new army?

Yang Ming's current several generals are very unfortunate, they belong to those who can both fight and know how to train, and these people will feel a headache in Yang Ming's hands, not to mention Yang Ming.

He can't manage people at all, Yuwenshu can't do anything, Wei Xuan is perfunctory, and he is even more awesome to protect his children, so he directly disobeys the dispatch.

The remaining Wei Yunqi turned his face with Yang Yunqi.

Such a lineup is invincible if it is used well, and it is a plate of loose sand if it is not used well.

Laihu'er stopped fighting, but Yang Yin planned to continue, because he was afraid that Laihu'er would take all the credit, so he asked Wang Shichong, Cui Hongjun, Yu Wenhuahe, Yu Wenzhi and each to lead an army, with a total strength of 45,000 people, to attack Xuancheng County and fight a decisive battle with Du Fuwei.

Yuwenshu and Wei Xuan disagreed at that time, because there was no guarantee of logistics, there was not much grain in the Jiangdu Treasury, and half of the ordnance was used up by Laihu'er, and now was not the time to use troops on a large scale.

Yang Jun's answer at that time was: What are you afraid of? Does Luoyang dare to stop my army?

Huh~~~ Do you dare to guess?

The area of a Xuancheng County is twice as large as Danyang and Liyang, and the waterway of the Yangtze River on the left bank is more than 200 miles long.

Today, there are only three counties left in Du Fuwei's territory, Lujiang County to the west of Danyang, Tong'an County to the southwest of Danyang, and Xuancheng County to the southeast.

These three counties are just surrounded by Danyang, Liyang, Jinling, Wujun, and Yuhang, in other words, Du Fuwei is now the turtle in the urn of Laihu'er, and it is a matter of time before it is destroyed.

Yang Xuan couldn't call to protect his son, so he thought of a bad idea and ordered Lingnan Feng Ang to lead the army north and crusade against Du Fuwei with the officers and soldiers.

If it goes well, it is equivalent to the rebel armies between Jiangdu and Lingnan, and they will be attacked by the north and south, and the pacification of Jiangnan is just around the corner.

When Laihu'er learned of this situation, the whole person was confused.

"It's over, King Qi is really powerful, I obeyed him," Laihu'er raised his head and sighed in the camp.

Fei Qingnu, who didn't know why, frowned and said, "If Lingnan is willing to send troops, is it a good thing?" Why did Rong Gong lament? ”

Lai Kai gritted his teeth and said: "This is a big stupid move, the Lingnan Feng family has been watching, they have long been wrong, and now Yang Jian is tantamount to giving the Feng family a justifiable excuse to send troops, as for what people will do after sending troops, it is not something we can control." ”

Lai Hu'er nodded and said: "Li Shimin is also stretched thin in Lingnan, this place is not easy to manage, it is not easy for him to control Lingnan West Road without accidents, it is extremely difficult, if you want to involve Feng An, you are also powerless, what you are most afraid of is that if Feng Ang moves, there will be chaos in the Guizhou area, after all, he is the Lingnan leader appointed by Mrs. Xian, and it is a response in the Lingnan area." ”

Fei Qingnu said: "It seems that the opportunity to rebel at this time has been lost, the Feng family will not be so confused, right?" ”

Chief staff Shen Qian sighed: "This is not called confusion, Your Majesty's dissatisfaction with the Feng family is not overnight, it can be seen that General Zuo Wuwei who took over Feng Ang by Shi Wanshou can be seen, the Feng family knows that His Majesty will have to settle accounts with them sooner or later in the future, and it is expected that the army is dangerous, but it is such a big event, why did Duke Xu and Duke Wei fail to persuade King Qi?" ”

"They didn't tell them at all," Lai Hu'er said: "Yuwen Shu is also an afterthought, and now if he wants to redeem it, it's too late, now it's okay, Feng Ang can use the excuse to send troops to attack Jiangnan, Lingnan, who has been holding back for fifteen years, wants to play a big game with us." ”

"Father, please? Now the only one who has the ability to turn the tide is His Royal Highness the Prince, "Come to Kaidao."

Lai Hu'er shook his head: "The plea is useless, why bother?" Yang Yong's stupidity and incompetence can only force His Majesty to allow the prince to go south only by arousing the excitement of the crowd, but at that time, it is unknown what Jiangnan will be. ”

"I don't know the soldiers, why did I let him come?" Fei Qingnu complained: "Look at the prince, the battle of Zhuojun can still be handed over to Rong Gong with full power, knowing people, employing people, and believing people, impeccable." ”

Of course, Lai Hu'er didn't explain so much to them, but said, "I don't know what banner the Feng family will play when they send troops this time?" Now it's May, and Your Majesty is patrolling Jiangnan in June, because of this faint move of King Qi, I'm afraid that I can't make the trip, and what I'm most afraid of is that Your Majesty is already making preparations. ”

That's right, Laihuer still knows Yang Guang very well.

When Jingshi received the news and came to Hu'er to take back the eight counties in one go, Yang Guang had already begun to prepare.

Hebei is flat, Shandong is fast, Jiangdu is going well, Yang Guang's safety on the way south, there is no problem, he is naturally coming.

On the Jingshi side, Zhang Luo has already begun, and the 100,000 army will go south to Jiangdu with Yang Guang.

As for all the expenses of the army, they were provided by the counties along the route, which was tantamount to persecuting the magistrates along the route and skinning the civilians.

Yang Ming, who is in Luoyang, doesn't know about Lingnan yet, and his focus is now on Jingzhou.

The Xiangyang Navy passed over Xiao Miao's territory in a dashing manner, and all the big ships they saw on the road were sunk so as not to fall into the hands of the rebels, and the entire Yangtze River, no force could challenge this fleet.

"Xuan Xuan is already marching in the direction of Hanyang, and after joining forces with Murong Sanzang, he can cooperate with the naval army to recapture Jiangxia," Li Jiancheng said in Luoyang Donggong Road.

Yang Xuan shook his head: "It's not easy to do, Xiao Miao's soldiers and horses have all come over, and now they can only be confrontations, not suitable for fighting." ”

"Yes," Xue Shu said: "The situation in Jiangnan is unclear, Xuan Award is the last force in Jingzhou, there must be no problem, Xiao Miao's troops are too heavy, we can only use the advantage of the water division to delay the consumption, once the big war starts, our disadvantages will be exposed." ”

"If you can't gain control of the Yangtze River, Xiao Mo will definitely develop to the south," Li Jing said: "Baling County and Changsha County in the south are all rich lands, and Xiao thieves will inevitably take them as supplements." ”

Jingzhou is divided into two areas, the north bank of the Yangtze River and the south bank of the Yangtze River, both of which are rich in grain.

Xiao Mo didn't dare to cross the river to fight, and Yang Xuan's award didn't dare to pass, how many people did he have? plus Murong Sanzang and Shui Shi, there are more than 30,000, and Xiao Milling is 200,000.

The county south of the Yangtze River has a very large territory, Baling County and Wuling County have Dongting Lake, Changsha, Yuanling, Lingling, Hengshan, Guiyang, there are more than ten large rivers such as Xiangshui, Yuanshui, Leishui, Zishui, Fushui, Huanshui, etc., which is the absolute land of fish and rice.

Xiao Mo has already marched south, and once he takes these places, it will pose a direct threat to Li Shimin in Lingnan West Road.

If Feng Ang really reversed, Li Shimin would be sandwiched between two loaves of bread, and the situation would not be much better.

"This situation can't be avoided for the time being," Dou Kang said: "If you want to clean up Xiao Miao, you need help from Jiangnan, it is impossible to rely on Xuan Award alone, and the people of the world can't leave Lingnan, try it, let Qiu He lead the troops north, enter Lingling and Guiyang as soon as possible, and deploy a defensive line." ”

Li Jing nodded: "There is a Xuan Award involved on the north bank, Xiao Mo must not dare to divide the troops in a big way, then the strength of the southern expedition must be limited, and the pressure on Pingcheng County to go north will be a little less, give the rebels one less county, count it as a county, once it is recruited by Xiao thieves, we can't stop it." ”

"Do you want to say hello to the Feng family?" Li Jiancheng said.

Li Jing was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "By all means, they don't move, it's already a blessing for us, Feng An's general was deposed, Lingnan Dongdao has refused to implement the imperial court policy, His Majesty is very dissatisfied, the Feng family is a ball of dry firewood, just a little bit." ”

Yang Yichen said: "Then who should we send to deliver this letter?" This person must be reliable, and as soon as the people see it, they know that it is the prince's meaning. ”

"Xu Shiji is the most suitable," Li Jing said as he looked at the other party.

Xu Shiji got up and said, "I would like to go to Lingnan." ”

It was very dangerous for him to go south this time, because he had to cross Xiao Miao's control area to reach Guangxi.

Yang Ming nodded: "How many people do you need?" ”

"Twenty is enough," Xu said.

"Good!" Yang Ming said in a deep voice: "You set off for the south as soon as possible, and you must let Qiu He go north as soon as possible to compress Xiao Miao's expansion." ”

"Yes!" Xu Shiji is right.

Their deployment is based on the fact that Lingnan is fine, and everyone here does not know that something is about to happen in Lingnan.

Feng Ang was originally a very cautious person, and he didn't want to be an enemy of the imperial court, but now that the whole Jiangnan was reversed, he sensed a glimmer of opportunity.

After all, it has only been 25 years since the south was annexed to the Great Sui, and it is entirely possible that it will be split again.

Coupled with the arch fire of various forces in the clan, Feng Ang was already waiting, and as soon as Yang Yin's order arrived, it was equivalent to removing Feng An's last trace of psychological burden.

I am sending troops to quell the rebellion, I am not rebelling.

If it was his eldest brother Feng Xuan who took the lead, Lingnan would not be obedient much, but if it was Feng An, it would be completely different.

Because he is the legitimate heir of Our Lady of Lingnan, his words represent Mrs. Xian, and it is almost the same as the Holy Decree in Lingnan.

Yang Guang chose to alienate Feng Ang when he should not have been alienated, and finally completely detonated the explosives depot in Lingnan.

On May 15, Feng Ang sent troops in the name of exterminating the rebels, and 100,000 Lingnan children joined the battlefield.
