Pharmacist Li sighed secretly in his heart and said: "There is a saying in "Sun Tzu": 'Those who make good use of soldiers, avoid their sharp energy, and attack their laziness, and those who cure qi are also.'" At this time, he took a deep look: "His Royal Highness Shang Wang is observing." ”

It's just that because of the previous successive battles, all of which were won quickly, Li Xiaogong couldn't help but be a little underestimated at this time.

He only smiled at Li Yaoshi, leaving this "No. 1 general in the world" admired by Li Shimin, the "God of War" and "God of War" admired by Putian in the future, and led the elite of the Haiyu to anchor on the south bank of the Great River to suppress the formation, and he led the army and giant ships to attack.

As Pharmacist Li expected, Xiao Mill's army fought to the death.

Li Xiaogong was defeated and retreated.

Xiao Milling won, and the armies waited for the opportunity to take a boat to collect the ordnance left in the river, and everyone carried the burden and rushed around.

Seeing that the other party was in chaos, Pharmacist Li immediately gave an order, and his division attacked, breaking the Liang army scattered in the river.

Pharmacist Li led the elite of the Sea Falcons to pursue the victory, and Li Xiaogong led the army to follow.

The Tang division arrived in Jiangling and landed in the camp.

After resting, he continued to attack, defeated Xiao Liang's digital generals, and captured more than 4,000 soldiers.

Then he took the dock of Shuicheng and captured countless ships.

Pharmacist Li asked Li Xiaogong to scatter all the boats he had into the river.

The generals did not know why, and they objected one after another: "The military funds obtained by destroying the enemy should be used by me." Now that they are scattered into the river, will they not fall into the hands of the enemy again? ”

Pharmacist Li patiently explained: "Xiao Milling has jurisdiction over the south of the Lingtable, and the east is based on Dongting, and the area is extremely vast. If we can't quickly break through Jiangling, once the other side's reinforcements arrive, our army will be exposed to the enemy in front and back, and we will be in a dilemma. When the time comes, what's the use of hugging the boat? It is better to scatter the ships in the river and make them plug the river, so that Xiao Miao's reinforcements will see it, and they will think that the capital is lost and dare not enter lightly. In this way, the time was right for our army to take down Gangneung, which was waiting for reinforcements. ”

This kind of suspicious tactics have been used many times in ancient and modern times.

However, with such a huge amount of military funds to lure the enemy, I am afraid that except for this only one in the world, Li Shenxian Medicine Master, there is really no one before and no one after him.

Li Xiaogong did not listen to Pharmacist Li's advice in the previous battle, and lost as a result.

At this time, it was decided to follow the advice of the elders and wise men, and disperse all the captured Liang military boats into the river.

As Pharmacist Li expected, Xiao Liang's reinforcements from all walks of life saw that the boats and ships in Jiangzhong were scattered, thinking that Jiangling was lost, and did not dare to advance rashly.

Li Xiaogong and Li Yaoshi besieged Gangneung.

Xiao Mo was blocked inside and outside, and it was difficult to decide whether to fight or surrender, so he discussed with Cen Wenwen.

Cen Wenwen believes that the well-being of the people should be the most important thing and advises him to surrender.

Xiao Mo accepted his proposal and said to the ministers: "If God does not help Xiao Liang, the country cannot be restored." If they must be succumbed, the people will suffer. But why did I fall into misery for the sake of me! ”

So he set up a prison, sued the temple, and then ordered the door to open and surrender.

The soldiers defending the city and the Jiangling soldiers listed the roads, kneeling and weeping.

Xiao Mill led the ministers to carry the cloth and came to Li Xiaogong's military gate to pay respects: "I am the only one who should be deceased, Xiao Mill is the only one, the people are not guilty, and I am willing not to kill." ”

So the Tang army entered Jiangling, and the generals prepared to loot on a large scale.

Although Cen Wenwen was to treat the crime and surrender to the ministers, he only thought about the people of the homeland, and said with concern: "The people of Jiangnan have been trapped in abusive government since the end of the Sui Dynasty. After that, the heroes fought, and the survivors of this day were all sharp, and they craned their necks to look at Allah. Now that the Xiao monarchs and ministers and the Jiangling fathers and elders have decided to join them, they really hope that the people can rest and recuperate. If the Tang army captures and plunders and disappoints Shishu, I am afraid that from now on, there will be no intention to revert to the south! ”

The second policy of the "Ten Strategies" is "diligent production and accumulation", and Li Yaoshi has already discussed, "Once our army takes Xiao Liang, the subjects of Xiao Milling today are the subjects of my Tang Dynasty", Li Xiaogong naturally knows.

At this time, listening to Cen Wenwen's invitation, he immediately said: "From now on, the subjects of Xiao Liang who have been in the past are the subjects of my Tang Dynasty, and they should strictly prohibit looting in order to live in peace." ”

Cen Wenwen was grateful.

The generals also said: "The generals of Liang, who died by refusing to fight with the officers and soldiers, are guilty of a very deep crime, and ask for no home to reward the soldiers." ”

Pharmacist Li said: "The teacher of the king, the righteous existence is hanging. Liang Zhi's generals died fighting for their lords, but they were loyal ministers, how could they be regarded as rebels and have no family? Our army is newly settled in Jing and Ying, but it is advisable to carry forward leniency to comfort the hearts of the near and far. ”

Lee Hyo-gung agreed.

So Qiu did not commit any crimes, and the city was safe.

When the states and counties in the south heard about it, they looked at the wind one after another.

A few days after Xiao Mian's surrender, when he saw the boats and ships scattered in Jiangzhong, he thought that the reinforcements that had been lost in Jiangling had just arrived one after another, and there were more than 100,000 people.

Seeing that Jiangling was "sure enough" lost, they all released their armor and asked for surrender.

Li Xiaogong and Li Yaoshi leveled Xiao Milling and sent Xiao Liang Junchen to Chang'an.

Li Yuan listed Xiao Miao's crimes, and Xiao Miao's reply: "Sui lost its deer, and the world chased it." Xiao Milling is not destined for heaven, so that Si; If you sin it, you will not escape death! ”

was beheaded in Chang'an.

The emperor appointed Li Xiaogong as the governor of Jingzhou.

The "state" of the Tang Dynasty was divided into Shangzhou, Zhongzhou, and Xiazhou, and Jingzhou not only belonged to Shangzhou, but also was originally Jiangling, the capital of Xiaoliang, and was changed to Jingzhou after returning to the Tang Dynasty.

Its political importance is much higher than that of other states in Shannan.

Li Xiaogong was transferred from Kuizhou to Jingzhou, and he was promoted.

Pharmacist Li was awarded the title of Pillar State and the Duke of Yongkang County.

His great-grandfather Li Huan was the Yongkang County Duke of the Northern Wei Dynasty, his grandfather Li Chongyi was the Yongkang County Duke of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and his father Li Quan was the Yongkang County Duke of the Sui Dynasty.

At this point, Pharmacist Li finally obtained the title of this family that has been passed down for several generations.

Zhang Baoxiang and Xi Jun were awarded the generals, and Xue Guwu and He Bi were awarded the guards.

Lu Zesheng had no intention of pursuing a career in public service, but he needed an official position in order to continue to assist Pharmacist Li, and at this time he became a member of the military.

In addition to the officials, the meritorious soldiers also received rich financial rewards, and Pharmacist Li received 2,500 official silks.

"Bartering" is an eternal mode of trading, from the pre-Qin to the Sui and Tang dynasties, and has always maintained a financial system of "money and silk at the same time".

These 2,500 pieces of official silk were used as currency, especially at the beginning of the monetary reform, and official silk was even more practical than coins.

In addition, Pharmacist Li also received a rare treasure: a gold and jade belt offered by Khotan.

The "sash belt" was originally a practical belt of the grassland people, and a hook and loop were added to the belt to facilitate the attachment to carry around.

During the Northern and Southern Dynasties, this kind of belt was widely popular in the Northern Dynasties, and in the Tang Dynasty, it became the belt of official uniforms.

The belt is composed of a belt, a crotch, a head, and a tail.

The belt is often made of leather, and the crotch, head, and tail are made of metal or jade and fixed to the leather belt.

Head and tail for lacing; The crotch is located in the middle of the leather belt, and each crotch has a hook and loop to tie the object.

When the strap is tied around the waist, the crotch and the object of the belt are on both sides and behind the waist.

It is not only the belt of the official uniform, but also the shape and material of the belt have their own specifications.
