The one who arrived first than Yang Ming was the Xiangyang Sailor, because Jiangxia was not far from the south of the Yangtze River, not to mention that it was all down the river.

As soon as the navy arrived, the situation immediately changed.

The rebels who were crossing the river from Xuancheng County to Lujiang County were cut off in an instant, and this section of water was not very wide, which was suitable for building a pontoon bridge, and the pontoon bridge could not withstand the impact of a large ship at all.

As Xiao Shilian described, once the navy arrives, the past cannot be returned, and those who have not passed cannot get by.

The two-way army of Li Jing and Mai Tiecane completely defeated Zhang Shan'an and Kan Lingbu after 20 days of fighting, and both of them were captured alive.

The Xiangyang navy brought back by Shen Lun and the others began to disperse, and the seven Wuya fleets blocked various waters, swatting the boats on the river like swatting flies.

At the same time, Yang Ming led a large army to Huainan County, Zhang Xutuo Shi Huaiyi entered Jiangdu County, and two huge reinforcements from the imperial court arrived in time.

After receiving Yang Ming's order, Li Jing began to build a pontoon bridge on the left bank of Tong'an County, south of Lujiang County, and Yang Ming would cross the river from Tong'an County and copy the back road of Du Fuwei and Feng An.

Du Fuwei will certainly not sit idly by, and urgently mobilize Zhao Pozhen and Wang Xiongdan's troops, who have not yet crossed the river, to deploy on the other side of the Yangtze River to prevent the opposite side from crossing the river.

In fact, judging from the whole situation, the rebels are basically going to be finished, and the problem is the Xiangyang Water Division, Xiao Mo is unable to stop it, but he also did not send troops to support the Jiangnan war, why?

Because Li Shimin is in Jingzhou.

After entering Jiangxia, Li Shimin did not go to Wuchang, but went directly to Jiangxia County, 6,000 people, and went to fight Xiao Miao's lair, which sounds really incredible.

But Xiao Mo couldn't bear it, because Xuan Yuan crossed the river from Jiangling County, and after Xiao Mo learned the news, he transferred the army to Baling County on the other side of Jiangling County to deploy defenses, and he didn't expect that Li Shimin would appear in Jiangxia.

Because the south of Jiangxia City is full of their own army, and they are deployed layer by layer, they didn't expect that there would be fish that slipped through the net.

But if he wants to recall the army now, it is almost impossible, because Li Shimin is surrounded by all cavalry troops, and it is surrounded but not frozen, even if you send rangers to report to the various armies, you will not be able to send it out.

Li Shimin is waiting, waiting for the results of Baling County, where there are two main armies of Qiu He and Yang Xuan, if he can eat Zhang Zhenzhou, Xiao Mo will be completely finished.

There is a trick to fighting the rebels, that is, they must seize the position of the opponent's main general and attack it, because the rebels are originally scattered and not united, as long as the main general is taken, the rest will collapse themselves.

And under Qiu He's men, Li Shimin left him a few fierce men who attacked fortifications, Shan Xiongxin, Zhu Cang, and Duan Zhixuan.

Xiao Mill, who was besieged in Jiangxia City, couldn't wait for support for a long time, and decided to personally lead the 20,000 defenders in the city to break through, 20,000 against 6,000, the advantage was him, but Xiao Milling had no advantage over Li Shimin.

Forced a rush, 3,000 people died, and in desperation, they retreated.

On October 18, Zhang Zhenzhou was shot and killed by Zhu Cang in the midst of the chaos, and half of the more than 40,000 rebels in Baling County were killed or wounded, and the rest were scattered.

On October 25, when Yang Xuanxuan and Qiu He's army arrived outside Jiangxia City, Shen Faxing also came with 12,000 men from Wuchang.

The people are surrendering, and the news that Jiangxia is besieged, he knows it, but he doesn't move, because he is also observing, if the army in the south has signs of returning, he will also come back, because in that case, Xiao Mo still has to be saved, if not, then it is not worth saving.

Li Shimin did not accept surrender at that time, and was ready to destroy Shen Faxing, but fortunately, when Shen Guang came out in time, he narrated the prince's arrangements to Li Shimin, and Shen Faxing was able to save his life.

But it is obvious that his untimely surrender can only be regarded as icing on the cake, not a charcoal in the snow.

Li Shimin sent people to Jiangxia City to ask Xiao Mo to surrender, at this time Xiao Mo did not surrender, the generals below would kill him, and the battle of the trapped beast would stop struggling.

So Xiao Mo opened the city gate and took the civil and military officials under his command to surrender to the court.

Qiu He will continue to run around and sweep away the remaining rebels in Jingzhou, and the south bank of Jingzhou has actually settled the dust, Li Shimin rebelled against Jingzhou, and only Jiangnan was left in the Great Sui Rebellion.

"The situation in Jiangnan has come to this point?" Li Shimin sat in the county guard mansion of Jiangxia City with an angry face, his expression solemn.

He is sitting in the main seat, although his level is not as high as the Xuan Award, and the title is even worse, but this time in the Jingzhou Rebellion, it is obvious that he is the boss, and Qiu He is at his disposal.

The military has military rules, and people now have the highest prestige, so they are naturally the bosses.

Xuan Xuan nodded and said: "We need to support Jiangnan as soon as possible, the people of the world are treacherous and can fight tough battles, I will transfer 10,000 people from my command to you, you go west as soon as possible, there are me and Qiu He here in Jingzhou, it is enough." ”

Xuan Award will not treat Li Shimin as an outsider, because Li Shimin is Yang Rui's person.

Li Shimin said in a deep voice: "As long as the prince goes south, the matter in Jiangnan should be resolved quickly, without the Yangtze River to defend it, the land south of the Yangtze River is a horse and a flat river, Feng Ang, this dog thing, I know that he must be the opposite." ”

Yang Tan, the prince of Jingling County, was also afraid for a while: "Fortunately, the people of the world reacted quickly, otherwise we would have taken a step late, but I am afraid that we will not be able to go, Cangwu Chen Xiong, Gangzhou Feng Zhiji and others, it seems that they are staying to deal with us, but they didn't expect us to go so fast." ”

Murong Sanzang said: "The Lingnan rebels are strong, and they have formed an alliance with Du Fuwei and others, although there is no natural danger of the Yangtze River, they can also retreat to the south of the Jianghuai River, and the mercenaries can stand on their own. ”

Li Shimin said with a smile: "Don't think so much, we are all talking on paper here, the real situation can only be seen with my own eyes, and the truth will be known, I will leave in three days, and the matter here will be entrusted to Qinghe Gong." ”

"Although the people of the world are at ease," Yang Xuan said, "Jingzhou is absolutely foolproof." ”

Three days later, Li Shimin set off with a total of 30,000 soldiers and horses including Shen Faxing, Pang Tao, and Dugu Lingyun, rushed to the battlefield in Jiangnan, and sent people to spread the news of Xiao Miao's capture everywhere.

Jiang Du, Yu Wenshu has been worried too much recently, presiding over the overall situation day and night, and his body is exhausted, and now he is half lying in the meeting hall, arranging various deployments with his weak body.

The Yuwen brothers, who had already been exiled by the emperor's order, were not expelled because their father was seriously ill, and stayed behind to take care of their seriously ill old father.

This custom is relatively common in the Great Sui, because of the importance of filial piety, no matter how serious the crime, sometimes you have to fulfill filial piety first.

"The prince has arrived, and now there is a water army. Ahem cough there is a naval army to block the Yangtze River, it's time to take back Jiangyang County, the rebels who crossed the river are now hoarded in Jiangyang, Liuhe and Guabu Mountain, roughly estimated, there are 70,000 people, Dong Chun attacked Jiangyang, Xue Shixiong attacked Liuhe, Guabu Mountain handed over to Huaiyi, there will be a big battle after the prince crosses the river, we can't let the prince take risks, we must exterminate the thieves who cross the river as soon as possible, and then go south to support the prince. ”

After that, Yuwenshu looked at Zhang Xutuo and said, "You immediately lead the soldiers and horses of your headquarters to board the sea ship, go to Wu County to support Lai'er, and tell him to bring back Jinling and Wu County to me." ”

"The last general obeys!" Zhang Xutuo is colorful.

Yu Wenshu was so tired that he couldn't hold it anymore, waved his hand and motioned for everyone to hurry up and go to Zhang Luo, and then, he looked at his eldest son, Huaji, and said with a pale mouth:

"The prince has come, and when I see the prince, I will intercede for you, and I hope that the prince will look at the past and keep your brothers safe for the rest of their lives."

Yu Wenhua looked at his father's gray face, and couldn't bear to say: "Father, rest in peace, since the prince is here, you can worry less about it, King Qi once privately sent someone to tell his son that he will keep us safe." ”

Yuwen Shu was stunned for a moment, sat up with his body propped up, and said, "Confused, does he have that ability?" Does he have that credibility? You guys, it's too easy to trust him, and King Qi is the most unreliable. ”

Yuwen Zhihe said helplessly: "But the prince doesn't want to see our brother, and Shuyi hasn't said good things to us, but the prince still doesn't have a good face when he sees us." ”

"If you don't have a good face, it doesn't mean that you will be moved," Yuwen said: "The prince is a person who misses the old love, I went south to Jiangdu this time, and I didn't respect the king of Qi for everything, just to show the prince, Shi Wansui is dead, how long can I live?" If you don't want to throw yourself into the prince's door now, you won't have a chance in the future. ”

Yu Wenhua and whispered: "But the King of Qi hinted to us that His Majesty has the idea of moving the prince, and if we cling to the prince, we are afraid that we will be affected by the pond fish." ”

As if he had heard something extremely ridiculous, Yu Wenshu smiled and said, "Do you think that with the current power of the crown prince, Your Majesty has moved?" I tell you the truth, the clan is secretly on the side of the crown prince, and no one can pose a threat to him today. ”

Yu Wenhua and his brothers were dumbfounded: "What do you mean that the prince has the possibility of forcing the palace?" ”

Yu Wenshu sighed and said: "Your Majesty really dares to move the prince, the prince really dares to force the palace, with Your Majesty's eloquence, he will not take this step, you and my father and son, and Your Majesty's father and son, is different, the old man has never been wary of your brothers, and your brothers will not do unfilial things, but the father and son have always been wary of each other, the prince will not enter the urn, and His Majesty has no way to start." ”

Yu Wenhua was completely confused, he couldn't understand.

In the past, Yu Wenshu would not tell his sons this, but now, he is afraid that he will not live long, and his body knows that he has been fighting in the south and north for a lifetime, and all kinds of old diseases, once he is seriously ill and the old diseases recur, he will be almost the same.

"You all seal your mouths tightly, life is only four words in the world, think about advancing and retreating, if I am not there one day, you can only rely on yourself," Yu Wenshu slowly closed his eyes and said slowly:

"If you want to die without obstacles, first look down on it when you are alive, you guys, ask for more blessings, don't suffer losses and don't have a long memory, I can't teach it."
