In the battle situation in Jiangnan, there is one place that is the most important, and if you take here, the situation will basically be stable.

Laihu'er won it two months ago, and everyone thought that the situation had been controlled, but no one thought that Lingnan was reversed, and Yang Yong made frequent tricks and buried the main army.

This place is Jiangning, northwest of Jiangning City, there is a very wide area of ruins, full of ruins, but you can see from this ruins how prosperous this place used to be.

In the ninth year of the emperor's reign, Yang Jian ordered the destruction of this place.

Yes, thirty miles northwest of Jiangning City, it is Jiankang City, the capital of the old Chen, Jianye City, the capital of Wu, and Nanjing City in later generations.

The battle of Sui to destroy Chen ended with the attack on Jiankang, because at that time, the main force of Chen's army was all concentrated on the Yangtze River, and the emperor Chen Shubao was in the capital, and taking this place was equivalent to leveling Jiangnan.

And now, Du Fuwei is here, he knows the importance of this place, and the most elite 50,000 people under his command are hoarded in Jiangxia City.

After Yang Ming crossed the river from Tong'an County, he would enter Xuancheng County, and Xuancheng County would go north to Danyang County, which was where Jiangxia City was located.

So whose hands will the south fall into depends on the final battle between Danyang and Xuancheng.

Crossing the river was unfavorable, Feng Ang turned to the south and touched in the direction where Yang Ming was, he and his son-in-law would have a life-and-death battle.

The 50,000 army under Yang Ming will face the 100,000 allied forces of Du Fuwei and Feng An.

"General, don't hesitate any longer, now only you can control the entire battle situation, if you do this, the history books will wait," Xiao Shilian persuaded Lin Shihong after receiving the news.

Lin Shihong frowned and said: "Cao Shuai is eyeing me in the north, if I change, I'm afraid he will attack me behind my back, quickly send someone to contact Lai'er, let him leave Changshu and go north, help me drag Cao Shi to beg, I will send troops to save the prince." ”

used to be called Yang Ming, but now he plans to surrender, and he has changed his name to the prince.

Xiao Shilian was overjoyed: "Send my entourage, the prince knows him, and he will know the general's sincerity." ”

Lin Shihong took a deep breath: "Becoming a king or defeating a king is in this dynasty." ”

After that, Lin Shihong summoned the generals, and then added fuel and vinegar to describe how unfavorable the current situation is, the brothers want to live, the only way to surrender to the prince is to surrender with me, among them, Guan Chong is really afraid, he has already been a traitor once, and he doesn't dare.

However, Xiao Shilian stood up and comforted him: "General Guan, don't worry, I will do my best to protect you in front of the prince, if you violate this word, heaven and earth will not tolerate it." ”

is equivalent to swearing, at this time, even if Xiao Shilian doesn't like the other party anymore, he has to stabilize the person first, and everyone must agree to effectively help the prince solve the crisis.

And he is the son of the famous Xiao Maha, and his oath is still very golden.

A day later, Lin Shihong's army of more than 50,000 troops marched to Xuancheng County and joined the largest decisive battle in the south of the Yangtze River.

The 60,000 reinforcements from Lingnan also arrived, and the entire northern part of Xuancheng County was crowded with people.

The battle around here lasted for twenty-four days, and Yang Ming held on to it until the moment when Li Shimin, Lai Hu'er and Zhang Xutuo arrived because of the support and supplies from the Yangtze River and the fact that his subordinates were all elite soldiers.

At this point, the protracted war that occurred in the south of Liyang County and the north of Xuancheng County to determine the ownership of Jiangnan has come to an end.

Du Fuwei's army was annihilated, Feng Ang was defeated and captured, and Yang Ming entered Jiangxia City.

As Lin Shihong entered the lobby, Yang Ming got up and walked down the steps, quickly stepped forward to hold the person before Lin Shihong knelt on the ground, and said with a smile:

"If there is no Shihong, you are lonely, please take a seat!"

After that, Yang Ming personally took the other party's hand and let Lin Shihong sit in a higher position than Laihu'er.

Lin Shihong proved himself to be an extremely discerning speculator, and the time he chose to take refuge in the imperial court was wonderful.

Yang Ming's 50,000 against 100,000 was already at a disadvantage, but as a result, Lingnan's 60,000 new force army also came up, if it weren't for Lin Shihong, he would really be very choked.

Because of Lin Shihong's move, Laihu'er was liberated, most of the army of Caoshi begging crossed the river, and the rest were no longer Laihu'er's opponents, and they were defeated by Laihu'er very easily, and then hurried south to support Yang Ming.

This time, Yang Ming is indeed too risky, but this risk is worth it, if there is no Lin Shihong, he has the ability to drag Li Shimin to come, but he will definitely lose a lot, Lin Shihong's appearance has avoided this loss and maximized the fruits of victory, this credit is definitely great.

But it is definitely not enough to be crowned king, Xiao Shilian has fooled Lin Shihong a little too much.

Fortunately, Lin Shihong has nothing else, and he definitely has self-knowledge.

Lai Hu'er also looked at each other with a smile at this time, and said: "Poyang is an outstanding person, it is not surprising that there is a character like Shihong, and the old man has to thank your subordinates for their mercy." ”

Yang Ming was stunned: "What do you say?" ”

Lai Hu'er smiled, and then told Lin Shihong about the secret letter to him, and the eldest son Lai Kai suddenly said: "No wonder my father refused to leave, it turned out that someone left a way back, and you hid me from me?" ”

The crowd burst into laughter.

"Shihong has already set his heart on the imperial court, and he will definitely report to His Majesty and ask for credit for you, but before that, there is one more thing to entrust to you," Yang Ming said.

In fact, he also knew in his heart that Xiao Shilian must have made a great effort behind Lin Shihong's choice, but this is the case, some people can only dedicate themselves in secret, and they can't give him a lecture.

gave Xiao Shilian a lecture, he wronged Lin Shihong, he can't do this now, it doesn't matter, Xiao Shilian is his own person, and he will always make up for it in the future.

Lin Shihong said with a straight face: "Please ask the prince to command." ”

Yang Ming said: "Canonize you as the chief of the march of Jiangnan East Road, Xiao Shilian as the chief of the history, continue to go south to quell the rebellion, appease the rebels from all walks of life, and wait for you in Beijing on the day of success." ”

Lin Shihong got up respectfully and said, "The last general will obey the order." ”

If he does this well, he will meet the conditions for the title of king.

"Li Shimin!" Yang Ming said.

Li Shimin got up and said, "The minister is here." ”

Yang Ming said: "The Feng family is finished, and it will be canonized as the general manager of the Jiangnan West Road March, and the Lingnan Town Envoy will be pacified immediately." ”

It is equivalent to Li Shimin and Lin Shihong going east and southwest to use troops to deal with the south, and Li Shimin still has a task, that is, to completely suppress Lingnan.

Li Jing asked, "What should be done with the rebels who surrendered?" There were 23,000 people in Du Fuwei's department, and 60,000 in Feng An's department. ”

Lai Hu'er suggested: "The minister thinks that the sores of Lingnan will be cut off today, and if the people want to pacify Lingnan, these rebels cannot be let go, and as for the surrendered army under Du Fuwei, they can be dispersed on the spot." ”

What he meant, Lingnan surrendered the army, and all of them were killed.

It is not an easy task to kill so many people, and in history, Bai Qikeng killed 300,000 Zhao troops, which was also a long time to kill.

It can only be buried alive, and if you use weapons, all weapons can be wasted.

Yang Ming didn't want to kill like this, but as Lai Hu'er said, if these people don't kill, the problem in Lingnan will never be solved, just like if Bai Qi didn't kill Zhao Jun, how can it be so easy for Qin to kill Zhao Guo later.

At that time, there were two famous generals in the Zhao State, Lian Po and Li Mu, if the troops were enough, and the King of Zhao did not mess around, the Qin State was really difficult to deal with.

Long pain is better than short pain, and Li Shimin is also in favor of killing them all.

After being silent for a long time, Yang Ming nodded: "Leave this matter to Zhu Cang." ”

On the Jiangdu side, the fight was still in full swing, but a five-tooth big ship suddenly appeared on the river, and on the mast of the big ship, Feng Ang was tied with a cloak.

Seeing this scene, Feng Xuan's army suddenly collapsed, and they knelt down towards Wuya, crying and shouting Feng An.

Feng Xuan surrendered, he knew that he was finished, and if he didn't surrender, his Lingnan disciples would be killed.

In fact, whether he surrendered or not, the result was the same, but his surrender also led to chaos in the positions of other rebels crossing the river.

At this point, less than two months after Yang Ming arrived in Jiangnan, Du Fuwei, Feng An, and Cao Shiqi rebels were all wiped out.

At the end of November, Yang Ming entered Jiangdu City.

Before the collapse of the illness, Yu Wenshu seemed to be returning to the light, a long-lost flush appeared on his face, holding Yang Ming's hand, and said with tears in his eyes:

"Jiangnan is determined, and the ministers are blind to death."

In fact, Yang Ming has always admired Yuwenshu, but he only dislikes his three sons.

But now, he can't hate Huaji anymore, because he suddenly feels that the historical Huaji and the killing of kings are somewhat tinged with justice.

Even if he didn't kill Yang Guang, there would be other people who would kill him, because Yang Guang at that time was really angry with people and gods.

Yang Ming patted the back of Yu Wenshu's hand and said: "Xu Gong should take care of his life, I hope that you and I will have the opportunity to sit down and drink, don't you like to sit on the ground with me the most, a lonely lamp, a pot of hot wine, about the heroes of the world?" ”

Yuwen Shu forced a smile: "Yuan Tiangang is still powerful, the minister privately looked for him, he once said that the old man is transported from the water, and it will fall in the water, and he will not enter the river after seventy, and the old man is exactly seventy-one this year, and this son is in the middle." ”

After that, Yuwen Shu summoned his three sons, held Yang Ming's hand and said:

"The minister is the only three sons, I hope His Royal Highness will have mercy" Yuwen Shu's eyes were full of tears.

Yang Ming remembered his deceased master Shi Wanzai, looked sad, borrowed the four words of Yang Guang in history, and replied:

"I won't forget."

With a sigh of relief, he insisted on Yu Wenshu, who wanted to see Yang Ming and entrust the future, and finally got his wish, two teardrops slid down, his mouth was open, his neck was crooked, and he fell into Huaji's arms.

The three brothers broke down and wept.

Yang Ming covered his face with both hands

During the great cause, the only two military first people who had the merit of destroying the country passed away, and the moment Laihu'er learned the news, he was like being struck by lightning, and after being stunned for a moment, he fainted to the ground.
