Chapter 645 The people of the world go north

From active to passive, the change is so fast, and the good situation in Jiangnan has plummeted, just because of Feng An's appearance.

Either that the family rebelled, the most insidious thing, Feng Ang not only bowed down to the master, but also took the initiative to show favor to Du Fuwei, claiming to be his subordinate, and also sent a messenger to contact Xiao Miao, willing to become brothers of the opposite sex.

The rebels from all walks of life in the south of the Yangtze River, who were already lifeless, were revitalized by Feng Ang alone.

There are large armies hoarding in the Jiangdu, but they can't cross the river, in vain.

Li Shimin, who was in Ningyue County, was also burning his eyebrows, and in the already unstable Guizhou area, many tribal slang people began to attack and kill officers and soldiers, and the government's control over this place was further reduced, and it no longer existed only in the county seat.

The connection between his side and Jiangdu has been completely broken, and the latest news is also brought by Xu Shiji, allowing Qiu He to go north and compress Xiao Miao's expansion.

"As soon as Feng Ang left, Guizhou was in chaos, something was wrong," Xingtai left servant shot Li Mi and said: "The horse specially sent someone to test Cen Mingxiu and ordered him to lead the army to the north with Qiu, but he refused under the pretext of rebellion in the jurisdiction, in my opinion, Feng Ang may have changed." ”

Li Shimin said with a smile: "It's not that I'm afraid, it's certain, I've been sitting in Lingnan for two years, calming down the local calm and calm, Feng Ang just went north, there was a problem in Guizhou, guess who is doing ghosts, Cen Mingxiu has always been obedient, but this time he didn't obey my orders, it can be seen that someone has said hello, the riot of the Guizhou slang bureaucracy is trying to drag me down, we can't wait, immediately prepare the troops and horses, three days later, set off to Yulin County, I want to see how Cen Mingxiu will entertain me." ”

Cen Mingxiu was originally a member of the Ning family, the Cen family was the leader of the western Guizhou tribe for generations, when Guizhou rebelled, Cen Mingxiu and Ning Chun and others fell out, surrendered to the imperial court, and was named Yulin Taishou.

He is an indigenous, and local problems are very easy to solve here, but this time, it is clear that he is perfunctory to Li Shimin and refuses to send troops.

Li Shimin made up his mind to leave Lingnan this time, in his opinion, if Feng Ang really reversed, he would continue to stay here and wait for death, because the contact with the imperial court was completely cut off, and sooner or later he would be consumed to death by the surrounding Lingnan slang.

Qiu He and Pei Xuanji have already gone north, and if he leaves Lingnan, it is best to take this line and go to Feng An's Guangzhou? I'm afraid that they will keep their hands on him, so they can't go east.

In fact, no one knows whether Feng Ang is against it or not, but Li Shimin himself is very sure that as soon as Feng Ang left, he was already preparing on his side, and when Xu Shiji rushed to Lingnan with all his hard work, he was even more determined, Feng Ang wanted to rebel, and now was the best time.

Thinking of himself and others, if he were replaced by Feng An, he would not miss this opportunity.

So Li Shimin personally put on armor for his wife Yang Qi, and his two-year-old son Li Chengye was handed over to his cousin Li Daozong for protection, mobilized the only remaining 8,000 soldiers and horses in Ningyue County, and left Qinjiang County.

As for Ning Changzhen's eldest son, Ning Huanzao, he was also taken by Li Shimin.

After receiving the news that Li Shimin was about to arrive in Yulin, Cen Mingxiu urgently summoned his subordinates to discuss countermeasures.

"Eight thousand troops poured out, what is he trying to do?" Cen Mingxiu frowned and said, "Don't want Guizhou?" ”

A cronie said, "Did he see through it?" It shouldn't be, what the situation will be after Feng Gong goes north, we still don't know, and Li Shimin definitely doesn't know either, but his reaction is a little wrong. ”

"It can't be for me, is it?" Cen Mingxiu said with a solemn face.

The cronie said: "It's unlikely, the person he sent said that let's prepare grain and grass, as for what we want to do, I didn't explain, it is in line with Li Shimin's consistent style, mysterious and secretive." ”

"Are you ready for food and grass?" Cen Mingxiu said.

The official in charge of requisitioning materials nodded and said, "It's all ready, 10,000 stone of grain, and it's been put into storage." ”

The cronie said: "Just in case, we can't let his soldiers and horses enter the city, we should meet him outside the city, and leave his army outside the city, so that it is safe." ”

Cen Mingxiu nodded: "This kid has a few tiger generals under his hands, and he really needs to be careful." ”

He is a thief, Li Shimin has not been to Yulin before, he was not nervous at that time, but this time it was different, the Feng family said hello and asked him to drag Li Shimin in Lingnan.

He can turn his face with the Ning family, but he will not turn his face with the Feng family, because he recognizes the Feng family's token, and there are five words engraved on the token: Mrs. Qian Guo's order.

This order can mobilize the soldiers and horses of the six states of Lingnan.

The next day, Li Shimin's army arrived outside the city, and Cen Mingxiu, who had been waiting for a long time, stepped forward with a group of officials to greet him.

In the past, he greeted him at the yamen, but this time at the gate of the city, the corners of Li Shimin's mouth curled, and he made a look left and right, and Wei Chi Jingde and Shan Xiongxin immediately surrounded Cen Mingxiu and others with dozens of people, and tied them up with their backhands.

Cen Mingxiu was shocked: "What are you doing here? What did your subordinates do wrong? ”

Li Shimin did not pay attention to him, but ordered Zhu Cang to lead two thousand soldiers and horses into the city and go straight to the treasury.

The defenders in the city without the leader were at a loss, they were of a low rank, they didn't know what Cen Mingxiu would do, and they didn't know what Li Shimin was doing, they were confused, and they didn't make any moves.

However, Cen Mingxiu's family members were killed by Zhu Cang, and after emptying the treasury in one day, he joined Li Shimin, who was waiting outside the city, and the army continued to the north, without entering the city to rest.

When he saw the heads of his wife and children, Cen Mingxiu's eyes were split.

Li Shimin sat on the horse, looked at Cen Mingxiu, who was dragged by Wei Chi Jingde, and said with a smile:

"I'd rather kill by mistake than let go, if Feng Ang didn't rebel, then Cen Taishou was meritorious in defending the land, he was attacked by the rebels into Yulin and died on the spot, if Feng Ang rebelled, then I killed your whole family, it's not wronged, right?"

Cen Mingxiu, who had already scolded all the way, really couldn't scold anymore, his body was extremely embarrassed, and he just glared at Li Shimin fiercely:

"At such a young age, with such a heavy murderous intent, you will not die well."

Li Shimin smiled and gave Wei Chi Jingde a look, and the latter flicked his horsewhip, sat down and galloped wildly, dragging Cen Mingxiu's entire body to pieces.

Li Mi sat on horseback and said on the side: "We are short of troops, after meeting with the Pingcheng County Duke (Qiu He), we only have the share of the guard, and we are unable to go north, so we can only discuss with the Qinghe Gong, if he can cross the river to the south, we may be able to clean up Xiao Mi." ”

Wei Fusi frowned and said: "Our contact with the imperial court has been blocked, Xu Shiji has worked hard all the way south, it can be seen that the news is passed on, and then the deployment is made, I am afraid that it will be too late, so I can only improvise." ”

"That's right," Li Shimin nodded and said: "We are too far away from Yang Xuan, we can only rely on tacit understanding, if I can go all out to the north to compress Xiao Milling, Yang Xuansheng will definitely cross the river as soon as possible after learning the news, there is a Xiangyang Sailor, Xiao Milling can not advance an inch to the north, and the south road is blocked by me, the situation is unfavorable to him, this thief is from a high family, and he must not be compatible with Du Fuwei, so he will not return to Jiangnan, reluctant to go, then Jingzhou is his burial place." ”

"Now it seems that Feng Ang should really be reversed," Jingling County Gong Yang said frankly: "I don't know what Jiangnan looks like now, whether Your Majesty has gone." ”

Xu Shiji said: "Calculate the time, it should have come." ”

On August 15, Li Shimin's army entered Lingling County and joined Qiu He and others, while at the same time, in Changsha County in the north, Zhou Faming was almost unable to bear it.

Qiu He didn't dare to support, because he only had 4,000 people, and there were 20,000 rebels besieging Zhou Faming, while Zhou Faming was estimated to have two or three thousand people.

After Li Shimin arrived, he directly dispatched Shan Xiongxin, Liu Wuzhou, and Duan Zhixuan to lead 1,000 foot soldiers each, and Yongxi Taishou Guo Jingshan led 2,000 heavy cavalry to the north.

As for himself, he took his brother-in-law Pei Xuanji and Wei Chi Jingde, led 3,000 light cavalry as the vanguard, and traveled under the stars to support Changsha at the fastest speed.

Changsha County is the largest county in the entire Jingzhou territory, but there are only four counties: Changsha, Hengshan, Yiyang, and Shaoyang.

Between the four counties, the distance is very far, from north to south is Yiyang, Changsha, Hengshan and Shaoyang are one east and one west, on a line, now Zhou Faming is in Shaoyang, his second son and third son, Zhou Xiaojie and Zhou Shao are in Hengshan.

Why aren't they together? Because the enemy army is too large to stop, they must go separately, because Hengshan County is Hengshan County, and Zheng Shishan, the Taishou, has recruited more than 3,000 troops and went north to support.

Hengshan County belongs to Changsha County, and the capital of Hengshan County is Hengyang County.

After Li Shimin left the Guizhou area, the place became even more chaotic, and within a few days, his mansion was burned down by the locals.

He was completely right to run, after Cen Mingxiu was killed, the leaders of Cangwu, Chen Xiong, Feng Zhiji of Gangzhou, Deng Song of Lianghua, Li Guangluo of Tengzhou, and Pang Li of Luozhou, recruited an army of 60,000 slang people in Lingnan and also went north.

However, they did not go after Li Shimin, but to find Feng An.

Fortunately, when Li Shimin left, he sent someone to say hello to other Taishou, like Wei You, Chen Zhiluo, Yang Meng, Yang Wen and others, who slipped away in time and were not caught.

At this point, the whole territory of Lingnan rebelled against the imperial court.

And Yang Ming, who was in Luoyang, didn't know anything, he just received the news from Jiang Dulai, Wang Shichongyu's culture and ministry, and the whole army was wiped out.

Yang Ming sat in the East Palace with an expressionless face, looking at the officials below who were arguing fiercely.

Dugu Su was robbed of his official position, but the title of the Duke of Guo is still there, so he can naturally participate in major events.

Right now, he scolds the hardest, who is he scolding? Yang Junbei, he is an official because Yang Yongbei lost, who else can he scold?

"I don't know why it was Wei and Wei who were punished, and the culprit was King Qi, and Your Majesty was too protective."

That is, Yang Guang is not there, he dares to say so, this old boy is also a group of cowards in front of Yang Guang.

Dou Kang closed his eyes and sighed: "Your Majesty has arrived, I'm afraid that the big war is just around the corner, there is not enough food and grass, so you can only fight quickly, but the current situation in the south, it is impossible to quell the rebellion in the short term, if you forcibly use troops, I am afraid there will be a big defeat." ”

"Prince, do you have something to say?" Yu Jura was also in a hurry.

As soon as Jiangdu's military situation arrived, Rao was the calmest of the few people in peacetime, and he couldn't sit still, could he not be in a hurry? Luoyang didn't have much food to supply Jiangdu.

Yang Ming's face was not shocked, and he slowly raised his hand and said, "You guys sit down first, it's useless to be anxious, things have to be calmed down and discussed slowly." ”
