Luoyang.

When the eyes of the monarchs and ministers of the Liang State were focused on the north, the south was surging.

All kinds of news are sent in snowflakes.

"Sima Pi is so young, he is about to die so soon?" Li Yue was happy in his heart, Emperor Jiangdong was really a high-risk industry, and few people lived longer.

Since ancient times, the succession to the throne has been a reshuffle of power.

Even if Sima Pi is just a puppet, he can set off monstrous waves.

Wang Meng said: "Jiangdong celebrities are more happy pills, Sima Pi is good at the way of immortality, poisoned for a long time, this time Huan Wen's old skills are repeated, and he wants to regain his prestige with the establishment of the king, but he doesn't want the praying mantis to catch cicadas and yellow finches behind." ”

Although the situation is favorable to Liang.

But after all, Xiangyang is one of the best fortified cities in the world.

Qin Biao and Mi Jin used the method of water attack to force back the Jiangdong naval army, successfully crossed the river, and besieged Xiangyang, but after many days of fierce attack, Xiangyang was as strong as usual.

Although there are a large number of school affairs in the city, it is the nest of the Huan family after all.

"If you want to unify the world, you should break Xiangyang first, now Jingxiang is in chaos, without further ado, immediately raise troops, bring a new catapult, I want to give Huan Wen a big surprise!"

There are days, people and people, and Huanwen's only advantage is the location, that is, Xiangyang City.

"This battle does not require Your Majesty to personally conscript, and the minister can lead 40,000 Chinese troops." Wang Meng arched his hand.

Li Yue also wanted him to go, but as soon as he came, he was already hard enough in Shangshutai, and he had to lead the army to the expedition, and his body might not be able to bear it.

Second, Wang Meng's credit is already big enough, Li Yue doesn't want the Shi clan to monopolize his career, and he doesn't want the power of the Hanmen Shu clan to expand too much.

Third, only Li Yue, the Emperor of Great Liang, went in person to make Jingxiang Shimin completely return to his heart.

"Jingluo's chief Shangshutai is still shallow, and it is not suitable to make a big move, only if I go there in person, the heroes of the Xiangyang clan will rest assured." Li Yue smiled and declined.

Wang Meng nodded, "Since Your Majesty has made up his mind, the minister will not say much, but there is one point, the minister has to say." ”

"It's okay to say it."

"Jingxiang can go down, but Jiangdong is not advisable." Wang Meng's words were concise and to the point.

This battle took advantage of the political instability in Jiangdong and the rebellion in Jingxiang, which caught Huan Wen off guard, but it did not mean that Jiangdong could be destroyed by taking advantage of the situation.

Li Yue has not been ambitious to this extent, and in the past two years, Jiangdong has also made a Beifu army, plus the naval army, which is still quite combat-powerful.

Wei Wu and Cao Cao all took Jingxiang, but they suffered a big loss in Chibi and lost the opportunity to dominate the world.

This group of people in Jiangdong has a characteristic, the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains, the combat strength is stretched, but once faced with the crisis of the collapse of the country, they are unprecedentedly united.

"What Jing Luo said is very true, I only take Jingxiang in this battle, then Bashu, and finally Jiangdong."

The meal should be eaten one bite at a time, and those who walk a hundred steps are half ninety, and the more the last moment, the more they cannot be taken lightly.

Liang Guoguo is not resting at home.

In terms of population proportion, Huaxia accounts for 60 percent, Yidi accounts for 4 percent, once experienced a defeat of Chibi or the defeat of the water, there will definitely be people in the country to rebel.

Don't underestimate the courage of people in these years, thousands of people dare to call themselves kings, and thousands of people call themselves the Son of Heaven.

Although the Great Liang will not collapse like the former Qin, the pattern of the Northern and Southern Dynasties will be established.

Taking the two strategically important places of Xiangyang and Jiangling, there is no need to rush to attack at all, and Jiangdong will just survive.

The military situation is urgent, and Li Yue will not wait for the decision of the imperial court, and when it is time to act arbitrarily, there can be no hesitation.

As last time, the crown prince Li Jian supervised the country, and Wang Meng assisted him.

Of the 50,000 Heiyun troops stationed in Luoyang, Li Yue took 40,000 and marched south, and at the same time ordered Deng Yao of Luzhou and Liang Xiao of Huaizhou to attack Dongguan and put pressure on Jiangdong so that they could not rush to the aid of Jingxiang.

After moving the capital to Luoyang, it was much more convenient for the army to move south.

As soon as he got out of Yique, he entered Nanyang in a few days, joined Xu Cheng's subordinates, and went south together.

As soon as Nanyang passes, it is close to Hanshui.

After less than seven days of marching, the forward had reached the front.

At this time, Huan Wen returned to Wuchang and was in a dilemma.

In the south, Wulingman and Changsha demon thieves are getting more and more fierce, besieging the county, more and more people join it, this gang of people is making trouble, it has become the climate, and the threat to Jingxiang is not small.

To the north, the Liang army is storming Xiangyang.

In the east, the Jiangdong Shi clan, who was about to become a law, stood up again, pushed the Queen Mother Chu Garlic to the front, and resolutely promoted Sima Yi to the throne.

Emperor Sima Pi was abandoned before he died on the sickbed......

At a critical time, Huan Wen hesitated to make the old mistake again, so he simply stationed troops in Wuchang to wait and see the changes in Xiangyang and Jiangling, and at the same time put some pressure on Jiangdong.

Looking at Jing Xiang, who was messed up in a pot of porridge on the map, Li Yue sneered, "Huan Wen is so stupid, he didn't come to support Xiangyang at this time, but instead sent troops to Wuchang, and delayed the fighter, Jing Xiang will be taken by me!" ”

Xu Chengdao: "Huan Wending wanted to use Xiangyang to consume our army, and when our army was tired, he waited for work at ease, and led the elite to go up the Han River to defeat our army." ”

The solidity of Xiangyang City has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Qin Biao and Mi Jin besieged for many days without success, and Huan Wen did have the confidence to stand still in Wuchang, but this was more from a political point of view.

It's just that there is no such good thing in the world.

"It's different now, Xiangyang City can't protect him." Li Yue looked at the ox cart behind him, which made deep marks on the ground, and on top of it was a newly built counterweight trebuchet.

Of course, a big war that has a bearing on the situation in the world cannot put all hopes in one basket.

The key to victory is the soldiers' desire for victory.

Huan Wen did not come to help, and Li Yue's tens of thousands of troops calmly arrived in Fancheng.

Qin Biao and Mi Jin came to greet them, "The ministers are incompetent, and they still failed to break through Xiangyang, please ask Your Majesty to surrender." ”

"The two of you have a total of only 20,000 troops, and it is reasonable that you can't take Xiangyang, what is the crime?" Li Yue did not blame them.

Not only is he not guilty, but he has the merit of severely inflicting a blow on the Jiangdong Navy and firmly holding the Han Water in his hands.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" The two of them gave up, but the atmosphere was a little gloomy.

Li Yue's gaze swept over the generals and fell on his son Li You, who had not seen him for a few years, and he had the demeanor of a general, with a resolute face, and he was already a qualified soldier.

However, he didn't see Meng Kuan's figure, "Where is Meng Kuan?" ”

Li You took a step forward with a sad face, "Father...... Some time ago, I crossed the river, hit by a cannon, and was buried...... Buried in the Han water......"

"What?" Li Yue's body trembled.

Meng Kuan can be regarded as bringing it up by himself, and a few years ago, it was said that he had the assets of 10,000 enemies, and it was clear that he would be reused in the future, but it was gone?

For a while, I couldn't accept it, and I felt sorry for the dead Meng Kai.

Li Yue suppressed the pain in his heart, glanced at everyone, and always felt that it was a little too sudden, and it was also a little strange, according to his identity, Qin Biao should take care of it secretly.

Meng Kai's corporal was a corporal, and there was no less blood on his hands back then......

Li Yue rubbed his forehead, maybe he was suspicious, the general would inevitably die before the battle, not to mention that Meng Kuan was not a general.

The two armies fought, and he rushed so fiercely that death was inevitable.

Other soldiers can die, why can't he?

After many years of riding horses, Li Yue has long been accustomed to life and death, but fortunately, Meng Kai has two sons, and he will stay in Luoyang to live a stable life in the future......
