Chapter 646 Risks and Benefits

Yang Guang wanted to transfer the Xiangyang Sailor from Jingzhou, but Yang Ming did not dare to stop him, and the situation in the south of the Yangtze River was so turbulent, if the Xiangyang Sailor could not go back, it would be a problem whether the Jiangdu could hold it.

Jiangdu can't be lost, if it is lost, it will really be a division between the north and the south.

So Yang Ming urgently ordered that the Xiangyang sailors return to Jiangdu as quickly as possible, and the Jiangling Shen family requisitioned ships from the people to prepare for Yang Xuan's award to cross the river.

"Zhang Xiu, the general under Xiao Miao, has now entered Ruyin County," Yu Juluo said solemnly:

"The military government in the south of Yuzhou has been taken away by the Xuanjiao, and several counties have no ability to defend against rebels.

Zhang Xiu left Jingzhou and returned to Jiangnan, cooperating with Du Fuwei and Feng Ang to encircle and suppress Laihu'er, but Laihu'er reacted too quickly and ran too timely to catch it, so he changed his route to the north, crossed the Huai River and attacked Ruyin County in Henan.

It is tantamount to provoking war in the Henan region again.

Xiao Mo didn't have the courage to do this, but didn't he run away? Wang Shichongyu's culture and the annihilation of the whole army again, the morale of the generals under his command has soared, and his fear of officers and soldiers is not as great as before.

Another point is to loot the canal, the county and Pengcheng county in the north of Ruyin County are the southward road of the Tongji Canal, Xiao Mo knows that if he wants to promote the imperial court to lose Jiangdu, he must cut off Luoyang's supply to Jiangdu.

So this trick is hit on seven inches.

"Xiao Miao, Du Fuwei, and Feng Ang have formed an alliance," Dou Kang said in a deep voice: "Looking at Zhang Xiu's movements, it is not difficult to think that the target of these three rebels is Jiangdu. ”

Yang Yichen shook his head and said: "It's not three roads, there are also Cao Shiqi, Lin Shihong, Wang Hua, if it weren't for the fact that Lai Hu'er hurried to Wujun to sit in the town, Xu, Wan, Guan, and Liu's generation, I'm afraid that they will also rebel, the entire south, the rebels are already monolithic, echoing each other from afar, resisting the imperial court, and now it is not a large number of troops, you can occupy an advantage, but it depends on the situation, and my current situation is extremely passive." ”

Li Jing nodded and said: "Hebei and Shandong, the chaos has just been removed, if the south can't be quickly suppressed, I am afraid that it will be used by people with intentions, and the north cannot be stable, I will lose the strength to go south, and now the situation is extremely serious, a defeat has shaken the foundation of my Great Sui, and it is the crime of the king of Qi." ”

Xue Shu said: "There must be no problems with the canal, Your Highness, we must send troops to suppress Zhang Xiu first." ”

"Li Jing!" Yang Ming said categorically.

Li Jing hurriedly got up: "The last general!" ”

"You take the left and right guards of the East Palace, immediately send troops, give you a month, and be sure to send Zhang Xiu back to the south bank of Huaishui," Yang Ming said.

Li Jing said: "The last general will take the order." ”

Yang Ming said expressionlessly: "At this time, the main force of the garrison in Luoyang must be moved, once the canal is lost, the river will not be protected, Dou Kang, Yujuluo, Yang Yichen, and Yang Xuanzong will stay in Luoyang, assist Huangfu, and lead the army south." ”

After saying that, Yang Ming got up abruptly and said, "Destroy Du Fuwei!" ”

There are still a lot of people in the Jiangdu garrison, in addition to Yang Ming's main force, there are still 110,000, but the customs around the eastern capital cannot be moved, so Yang Ming can only transfer 50,000 people to the greatest extent.

The question is, where does the food and grass come from?

The Dugu family, the Yuan family, the Zheng family, the Changsun family and other local wealthy families in Henan were all invited to the palace by Yang Ming.

These dozens of people in the hall stomped their feet, and the whole of Henan would be shaken.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the state affairs have fallen to this point, and I am lonely, and now I am cheeky to borrow grain from you to protect my army from going south," Yang Ming said: "Waiting for the day when the rebellion is quelled, I am willing to share wealth with all the princes." ”

To put it bluntly, it is a share, you are now a shareholder, give me a share, I will go down to clean up the rebels, and when the matter is completed, it will be divided proportionally.

Yang Ming's credibility is absolute, after the Hebei counterinsurgency, the first thing he did when he returned to Luoyang was to sit on the ground and share the spoils, and many people had benefited.

As the saying goes, if you borrow and repay, it is not difficult to borrow again.

Dugu Su was the first to stand up, willing to raise the strength of the whole clan to supply the army, and the other dozen or so also wanted to invest in a single investment, and the risk and return were proportional, although many of them felt that this investment might be in vain.

But if you make a profit, the income will undoubtedly be very huge, not to mention the return to the capital, just send charcoal in the snow, and you will get a lot of benefits in the future.

Yang Ming's hand-typed IOU was stamped with his own private seal.

The first batch of 600,000 stone grain was ready in ten days, and Li Jing had already left at this time.

Yang Ming took the Hedong army, as well as the elite he brought from Guanzhong plus 50,000 Luoyang garrisons, a total of 66,000 people, from Luoyang to Jiangdu.

This time, he wants to completely pull out the nail of Xiao Miao.

Without Yang Guang's will, he would not have been able to move like this, but coincidentally, according to the law of the Great Sui, those who are feudal and have chaos in their jurisdictions can send troops.

Zhang Xiu's crossing of the Huai River in the north and invading the canal was a very clever move, but this move provoked Yang Ming.

If he doesn't come to Henan, Yang Ming is really not good at sending troops, and now, there is no need to ask for an order.

Who is Yuzhou Fengjiang? It's the emperor who has no escape, and the people are staying in the eastern capital, but Yang Ming is here, so it is Yang Ming who is in charge, not to mention his identity as the prince, and the people's Shaanxi East Road is still there.

At the same time, Li Shimin, who entered Jingzhou, had also successfully arrived in Changsha County and fought with Guo Hua, Yang Daosheng, and Chen Puhuan under Xiao Miao.

If this kid weren't famous in history, just looking at his military operations, he would think that he was a stunned young man, he dared to fight any battle, and he could win any battle.

This is not stunned, this is a genius, a natural handsome.

After receiving the news, Yang Xuanyu on the north bank hesitated for a while, thinking about whether he should cross the river or not, after all, the navy was gone, and without the cover of the navy, he lacked courage.

Later, I received military information that the rebels on the other side of the river, with a large group of people and horses, urgently moved to the south, which can be seen to be aimed at Li Shimin.

If he doesn't save it, the prince will ask for his head.

So General Yang Xuan also went out, gathered all the 20,000 troops to withdraw from Hanyang, returned to Gangneung County, and with the help of the Shen family, began to cross the river.

"Changsha has been taken, my soldiers are tired, should I take a rest?" Li Mi is also a character, and he follows Li Shimin into battle to kill the enemy, and he is not ambiguous at all.

After all, this kid has also practiced martial arts, and he is much stronger than ordinary people.

Li Shimin sat on the steps outside the Changsha County Guard Mansion and gasped, the three-way rebels, Guo Hua, and Yang Daosheng were all wiped out by him, and only the remnants of Chen Puhuan were left to flee north.

"Can't stop, we're in Changsha now, after Xiao Mo receives the news, he will judge the timing of our march and the route of the march to make deployments," Li Shimin stood up, wiped his sweat and said: "The soldier is fast, we just want to catch him off guard, rest for an hour, all the cavalry will continue to go north with me, take the small road to bypass Baling County, I will go straight to Jiangxia." ”

Qiu He was dumbfounded: "Isn't it too risky?" ”

Li Shimin smiled: "You take the main force to storm Baling, attract the attention of the enemy army for me, as long as I can reach Jiangxia, Xiao Thief will definitely be in chaos." ”

The other young generals were also eager to try, they were all a group of young people, and they needed meritorious service to climb up, for them, there was nothing more tempting than making meritorious achievements.

Qiu He shook his head and smiled bitterly, according to the words of the prince, is it that there are talents in the country, and a new generation is better than the old? It seems that he is really old.

Zheng Shishan, who came from Hengshan County, hurriedly contributed all the war horses under his command, and in this way, Li Shimin put together a cavalry army of 7,000 people, 2,000 heavy armor and 5,000 light armor, and just rested for a short hour, and then left Changsha County with military rations.

Qiu He did not dare to slack off, hurriedly reorganized the army, and after resting for one night, he went north to the direction of Fuqiu Mountain to attract the main force of the rebels stationed in Baling County, so as to provide an opportunity for Li Shimin to pass Baling smoothly.

"The current situation in Jiangnan is not good for the imperial court, we are a family, what do you have to say, I am now taking refuge in the imperial court, not the right time," Shen Faxing secretly met his brother Shen Guang in his mansion in Wuchang County.

Shen Guang naturally didn't have a chance to meet Shen Shuyi, so he could only come to Wuchang to find Shen Faxing, who had been living here for half a month.

"I understand what my brother is talking about," Shen Guang nodded and said: "It's easy to put icing on the cake, it's difficult to send charcoal in the snow, brother is sincere, you should really choose a good time, now is really not the time, and you will suffer from it." ”

People are here to be lobbyists, not to find death, so they naturally know how to say things.

Shen Faxing said: "Li Shimin has gone north to Changsha, Jiangxia urgently transferred troops, Zhang Zhenzhou also dispatched, it can be seen that Li Shimin is powerful, not to be underestimated, the navy has withdrawn, Xiao Yingyang has been allied with Du Fuwei, what the future situation is, it is not yet known, we can only take one step at a time, take your time, the safety of my uncle, always have to scruple." ”

"That's natural," Shen Guang nodded and said: "The reason why the prince sent me here is also because he knows that his brother and uncle are being coerced by Xiao thieves and have no choice but to do so, now Shuyi is very favored by the prince, with the prince's help to speak, the family will not be affected, the younger brother will not persuade much, the elder brother should seize the opportunity himself, but be careful, don't delay." ”

"You can rest assured of this," Shen Faxing said: "I have been sending henchmen to collect news from all walks of life, what the situation is, I will grasp it, you just live with me with peace of mind and wait for my news." ”

He must have left a way back for himself, although his eldest son Shen Lun is by his side, his parents, daughter-in-law, and other children are still in his hometown of Wu County.

Wu County is Wuxing County, Shen Faxing used to be Wu County Taishou, and southerners are used to calling Wuxing County, which means that Wu is prosperous.

Shen Faxing's family is definitely not dead now, because if he dies, the court will definitely announce the world.

For a rebel like him, the court also left him a way to reform himself, mainly because he was not the leader.

Xiao Mo has few relatives and no sons, so the two daughters, Xiao Yuexian, Xiao Shaoqian, and the two daughters were sent back to him by Du Fuwei, which can be regarded as a good gift.

Walking on this road, Shen Faxing is ready for his parents to be killed, but people, it must be better to die than to live, if there is a chance to surrender to the court, he will not hesitate.

Even if you don't care about your parents' lives, you always care about yourself and your eldest son.
