[After defeating the pursuers, Li Jing led the army straight to Jiangling City, and along the way, he broke through the outer city of Jiangling and the water city in one fell swoop, surrounded the inner city, and captured a large number of boats and ships during the period.

But then Li Jing ordered the ships to be lowered into the river and let them go down the river.

This made his subordinates very confused, and asked: "What is the reason why the loot that was finally obtained is not used to attack the enemy, but abandoned to fund the enemy?" ”

Li Jing explained: "The land of Xiao Milling is vast, with a ridge table in the south and Dongting in the east. The Tang army is alone in the depths, Jiangling City is strong, if the attack is not overcome, the enemy reinforcements are four sets, then their own side will fall into the dangerous situation of being attacked by the enemy, and at that time, no matter how many ships and ships there are, it will be in vain.

If they are abandoned in the river and left to flow down the river, the enemy's reinforcements will see that Jiangling has fallen, and they will not dare to enter lightly, and when they hesitate, they will send people to verify the situation, and at least a month has been wasted between the exchanges, and when the reinforcements learn the truth, our army has taken Jiangling. ”】

[The result was as Li Jing expected.

After cutting off Xiao Miao's reinforcements, Li Jing led 5,000 elite soldiers as the vanguard until the city of Jiangling.

Xiao Milling sent Yang Junmao and Zheng Wenxiu to fight, but was defeated by Li Jing, capturing more than 4,000 soldiers.

Xiao Mo wanted to fight, but his troops were insufficient; I wanted to hold on but reinforcements didn't come.

With nothing to do, Xiao Mo discussed with his subordinates, and finally put on mourning clothes and led hundreds of civil and military officials to open the city and surrender.

After Li Jing led the army into the city, many soldiers wanted to loot the property, but Li Jing was resolutely opposed, saying that we still have a lot of territory in the south that has not been laid, and if we burn and humiliate and plunder now, then other towns will resist desperately. 】

[Under the leadership of Li Jing, the Tang army did not burn, kill, humiliate and plundered, and adopted the Huairou policy to appease the people, which was well received by the people, and soon other cities in the Liang State also surrendered.

A few days after Xiao Mill surrendered, his hundreds of thousands of reinforcements arrived, and they heard that Xiao Mill had been defeated and the Tang army was lenient, so they surrendered without a fight, and later Xiao Mill was escorted to Chang'an to be executed.

Li Jing became famous after this battle, and Li Yuan was also impressed by Li Jing's military talent, and named Li Jing as the prince of Shangzhu State and Yongkang County, and then sent Li Jing to Lingnan with a wave of his hand, "degrading" further. 】

"Okay, you sixth, you shout to be careful, but you are more ruthless than anyone else!"

"Hahaha! I'm laughing to death, how much Li Yuan hates Li Jing! ”

"Li Yuan said: I can spare your life and give you a stage to display your talents, but I still want to mess with you if I have nothing to do, otherwise I will feel really uncomfortable!"

[Although he was "demoted" to Lingnan, Li Jing was still conscientious, he crossed Lingnan, recovered 96 prefectures, and gained more than 600,000 households.

In August of the sixth year of Wude, Huainan Dao's servant Auxiliary Gong Qi took the opportunity of Wu King Du Fuwei to enter the court, falsely claiming that Du Fuwei was imprisoned, and falsely claimed that Fu Weishu ordered the army to raise troops, so Jiangnan was all opposed.

Li Yuan immediately made Li Xiaogong the marshal, Li Jing as the deputy, Li Tao, Ren Gui, Zhang Zhenzhou, Huang Junhan and other seven governors and were tempered, and sent troops to quell the rebellion.

Fu Gong Yi sent Feng Huiliang and Chen Dangshi to lead 30,000 sailors to Tun Bowang Mountain, Chen Zhengtong and Xu Shaozong led the 20,000 Tun Qinglin Mountain, and connected the iron lock in Liangshan to cut off the river road, built the Moon City, extended for more than ten miles, and built a base in Jiangxi to resist the Tang army. As a result, the naval divisions of Feng Huiliang and Chen Dangshi's subordinates and Chen Zhengtong and Xu Shaozong's armies were in a position of horns, and their defenses were very tight.

For this reason, the Tang army was also divided into two routes, Li Xiaogong and Li Jingshuai were stationed in Shuzhou, and Li Shichang unified 10,000 infantry to cross the Huai River, attack Shouyang, and garrison Kipshi. 】

[Li Xiaogong convened the generals to discuss countermeasures, and all the generals thought that Feng Huiliang's troops were stationed in Bowang Mountain, and Chen Zhengtong's troops were stationed in Qinglin Mountain, which not only had strong troops, but also occupied the dangerous terrain of land and water at the same time.

Moreover, the opponent's water and land divisions are each other's horns, and the defense is tight, and it is difficult to capture it for a while. That being the case, it is better to bypass the enemy's frontal defense line and take Danyang directly.

Danyang is the base camp of the enemy, as long as Danyang is taken, Feng Huiliang and Chen Zhengtong's troops will naturally collapse without a fight.

Xiao Gong was about to adopt this strategy, but Li Jing objected, he believed: Feng Huiliang and Chen Zhengtong were indeed the elite divisions of Fu Gong Qi, but the Danyang troops that Fu Gong Yi personally left behind must also be a lot.

Danyang City is strong, and our army can't even conquer passes such as Bowang Mountain, and Fugong Yi is defending the city strongly, how can it be conquered overnight?

If Danyang can't attack for a long time, and Feng Huiliang and others take the opportunity to attack from behind us, then our army will fall into the danger of being attacked by the enemy on the back of the belly, and I am afraid that the whole army will be in danger of being annihilated.

Moreover, Feng Huiliang and Chen Zhengtong are both battle-hardened generals, and this time they did not come out of the wall, not cowardice, but the auxiliary prince strictly ordered them to hold out, intending to dampen the spirit of our army and delay our army's attack.

For the sake of the present, it is necessary to show weakness, lure the enemy into battle, and annihilate the enemy army in the field. 】

"Li Jing's ability to analyze the situation is really terrifying."

"It's like two people facing each other, one side is a normal perspective, but the other side can see you through the front and back, left and right, inside and out. How can this be fought? ”

"It is precisely because of a comprehensive grasp of the situation that Li Jing has the prestige of being invincible and invincible."

[After a thorough analysis, Li Jing successfully persuaded Li Xiaogong.

Therefore, the Tang army first deliberately sent weak troops to attack the defense line built by the other side to show the enemy weakness, and then secretly gathered elite troops to wait for fighters, intending to catch them by surprise. 】

"Hey! This trick is familiar with Han Xin! ”

"Sure enough, the strategy of showing the enemy weakness and luring the enemy deep will not be outdated at any time!"

[The Tang army attacking the opponent's defense line is a weak brigade, so naturally they can't attack, they pretend to be defeated and retreat (in fact, it is almost a real defeat), Chen Zhengtong really hit the plan!

Chen Zhengtong led the defenders in pursuit, but after only a few miles, he happened to encounter Li Xiaogong's main elite soldiers and suffered a crushing defeat.

Tang general Kan Liang was Du Fuwei's subordinate before, and many of Chen Zhengtong's infantry were his old subordinates.

As soon as the two sides exchanged troops, Kan Liang took off his armor to identify himself, and the enemy soldiers saw that they had no fighting spirit and fled or surrendered, Li Xiaogong, Li Jing and other generals took advantage of the victory to expand the results of the battle and take Boshan and Qinglin. 】

[Speaking of Duvoway, I want to mention two more sentences here.

As we all know, there were the troubled times of the Three Kingdoms in the past, and the Sui and Tang dynasties in the back, and heroes were born in the troubled times!

During the chaos at the end of the Sui Dynasty, Du Fuwei took the opportunity to rise up and form a peasant rebel army, and he also developed his rebel army into the strongest peasant army at that time, surpassing Wagang!

Du Fuwei was also a poor boy when he was a teenager, and after being accused of stealing from the official mansion, he and Fu Gongqi went to the end of the world, gathering people to steal halfway, that year, Du Fuwei was only 16 years old, and then he organized an uprising.

In the ninth year of the Great Cause (613 AD), Du Fuwei and Fu Gongqi went to the area of Changbai Mountain, and then moved to the Huainan area.

In the second year of Wude, Li Yuan sent an envoy to surrender Du Fuwei, and Du Fuwei also judged the situation and submitted to Li Yuan, and for Du Fuwei's surrender, Li Yuan also gave enough sincerity to seal Du Fuwei as the king of Wu and gave him the surname Li. 】
