It's as easy as you imagined.

Especially with the participation of Qianjimen, the soldiers of the Great Sui seem to have an extra eye and become prophetic.

Before attacking Chen, Li Yan, the assassin of Jiezhou Prefecture of Sui, built "Wuya" (a large warship equipped with a slap rod) and "Huanglong" and other warships in Xiangzhou Road and Yang Su in Badong County to strengthen the naval division.

Shipbuilding scrap was deliberately floated down in the river to deter Chen Bing.

He Ruobi sold his old horses, bought a large number of Chen boats, hid them, and bought fifty or sixty dilapidated ships and moored them in the small river, so that Chen Jun thought that the Sui army had no warships.

Then, in accordance with the previous offensive strategy, the soldiers who changed the guard were gathered in Guangling many times, with large banners and camps all over the field, and the soldiers were also sent to shoot and hunt along the river, and the men and horses were noisy, so as to confuse the Chen army and make it unguarded.

In March of the eighth year of the emperor's reign, Emperor Wen of Sui issued an edict, listing the crimes of Empress Chen and sending a seal book to abuse his crimes 20 times, and distributed 300,000 copies of the edict in Jiangnan to win the hearts of the people.

In October, Huainan Province was set up in Shouchun, with Yang Guang, the king of Jin, as the Shangshu order, to coordinate the troops and horses of all roads, and Gao Xi as the marshal Changshi to decide the marching strategy, leading 80 governors and 518,000 soldiers to march south.

The so-called Eight Ways to Destroy Chen.

The first way was that he personally led the naval army from Xiangyang to Tunhankou to block the Chen army in the middle to support Jiankang, the capital of the Southern Dynasty in the lower reaches;

The second route marched Marshal Qinghe Gong Yang Su led the boat division out of Yong'an to the east;

The third route was to make peace with Yang Su from Jiangling, and finally arrived at Hankou to make peace with Yang Junjun.

Yang Su and Liu Renenjun were responsible for driving the Chen army in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River to Hankou to encircle and annihilate them.

Marching Marshal Yang Guang commanded the five roads downstream, he led Han Baohu and He Ruobi to specialize in Jiankang, and ordered Wang Shiji and Yan Rong to assist in attacking Jiangxi and Sanwu as the left and right wings.

On the first road, Yang Guang led the army out of Liuhe, on the second road, Han Baohu, the governor of Luzhou, went out of the Lujiang River, and on the third road, He Ruobi, the governor of Wuzhou, went out of Guangling, and these three roads concentrated on besieging Jiankang.

On the fourth road, Wang Shiji, the assassin of Qizhou, led the boat division out of Qichun to attack Jiujiang to cover Yang Guang's main army.

Yan Rong, the governor of Qingzhou on the fifth route, led the boat division out of the East China Sea, detoured south along the coast into Taihu Lake, attacked Wu County by surprise, and penetrated deep into Sanwu to support Yang Guang's main army.

This is the general policy of the Eight Paths to destroy Chen.

Before the Sui court marched into the army, it detained Chen envoys and cut off contacts in order to keep military secrets. and sent a large number of spies to infiltrate Chen Realm to carry out sabotage and disruptive activities.

Empress Chen was arrogant and politically corrupt, did not understand military affairs, and did not accept the advice of his generals. For the celebration of the Yuanhui, he ordered the two sons of Jiangzhou, the important towns of Jiangzhou and Xuzhou in the south, to lead the warships back to Jiankang, which made the river defense even weaker.

Yang Su seized this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and attacked decisively.

He led the naval army out of Badong and marched eastward along the Three Gorges, and Liu Renen, the assassin of Jingzhou, went west from Jiangling, and the two armies cooperated, using both land and water, to attack and occupy the Langwei Beach, defeating Qi Xin, the general of Chen Shou; Chen Nankangneishi Lu Zhongsu defended Qiting to the death, and blocked the Sui army from leaving the Three Gorges eastward with three iron locks across the river.

Yang Su and Liu Renen led the combined forces of water and land to attack until the first month of the ninth year of the emperor's reign broke through the Chen army and occupied the mouth of Xiling Gorge.

Chen Jingzhou assassinated Chen Hui Jitun Public Security, seeing that the general trend had gone, he led an army of 30,000 and more than 1,000 ships to the east of the river, trying to enter the aid of Jiankang, but he and Zhou Luohu were blocked by Yang Junjun to the west of Hankou, and Chen's army was unable to rescue Jiankang in the end.

Yang Su then went down the east of the river with the main force and joined Yang Junjun in Hankou, and after this meeting, he received the first good news from Yingquan.

Chen Shushen, the king of Yueyang of the Chen State, led 30,000 Chen soldiers to surrender and presented a thousand orders to inform Yang Su that he had already taken refuge in Yingquan.

The middle reaches of the Yangtze River fell to the state of Chen.

Chen Shushen told Yang Su that there were still two internal responses in Chen Guo that he knew, that is, Shi Wenqing and Shen Keqing, who were in charge of Chen Guo's confidential documents, and if nothing else, the news of the fall of the Yangtze River, I am afraid that Jiankang City would still know nothing.

In the ninth year of the emperor's reign, on the first day of the first month, the Sui army in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River crossed the river by Chen Huan on the occasion of the Yuan meeting.

He Ruobi's army crossed out of Guangling to the south, Han captured the tiger army out of the Lujiang River and crossed at night from the mouth of the Hengjiang River, attacked and occupied the quarry, and Yang Guangjun, the king of Jin, went out of Liuhe and entered Tun Taoye Mountain.

On the fourth day of the first month, Chen Shubao sensed that the situation was unfavorable and issued an edict to his personal commander Chen Jun to reject the enemy. He ordered the hussar general Xiao Maha, the general of the guard army Fan Yi, and the leader of the central army Lu Guangda to be the governor; and sent the Southern Yuzhou Assassin Shi Fan Meng to lead the naval army to defend Baixia (, to resist the Sui army in Liuhe; and to lead the troops to defend the Southern Yuzhou with the scattered cavalry Chang Gao Wenjuan.

After the Sui army broke through the defense line of the Yangtze River, it was actively promoted, and on the sixth day of the first month, He Ruobi's army captured Jingkou and captured Huang Ke, the assassin of Xuzhou in the south. More than 6,000 prisoners were released on a preferential basis.

Subsequently, He Ruobi entered Tunqu'a with a section to prevent reinforcements from the Sanwu and Chen armies, and led the main force to the west; Han captured the tiger army in the seventh month of the first month and captured Gushu and advanced eastward along the river, and the Gaowen army was defeated and retreated to Jiankang.

On the seventh day of the first lunar month, He Ruobi entered Baitugang south of Tunzhong Mountain, and Han Baohu and Du Yanjun, who crossed the river from Nanling, met in Xinlin;

After defeating Chen's army in Baixia, Yuwenshu's army entered and captured Stone Town.

The Sui army occupied the outlying cities of Jiankang and completely surrounded the capital of the Southern Dynasty Chen.

In order to cooperate with the main offensive of the Sui army, Wang Shiji's army also succeeded in capturing Qikou from Qichun, defeated Chen General Jichu, and approached Poyang Lake in Jiangxi;

The army of the Sui Dynasty has completely surrounded Jiankang, although Jiankang still has 100,000 male soldiers, but it fell into the hands of Chen Houzhu of different military affairs, and it has completely become a decoration.

Then Chen Shushen led the troops to open the city gate, and Yang Guangda waved his hand and pressed the whole army, and Jiankang City was broken.

Shi Wenqing and Shen Keqing, who secretly helped each other, disappeared after the city was destroyed.

......

"Wen Qing and Keqing are back. Inside the mountain gate of Qianjimen, the boy guarding the door immediately shouted loudly when he saw the two people slowly going up the mountain.

"Mrs. Xing'er!" As soon as the two entered the mountain gate, they saw Li Xing'er waiting for them on the side, knelt down first, and then said, "Chen is dead." ”

"Now that Chen is dead, isn't it time to concentrate on doing things for my palace?" Li Xing'er smiled lightly, these two were her subordinates.

Under Yingquan's arrangement, he entered the court of Chen, originally thinking that he was just seeking some convenience, but he didn't expect that in the battle to destroy Chen, he would also play such a big role.

It wasn't until the soldiers came to the city that Jiankang City knew that the Yangtze River had completely fallen.

"It's just the names of the two of us, I'm afraid we can't use them anymore. Shi Wenqing smiled bitterly and continued: "I didn't expect that in the end, I left an eternal infamy. ”

"Yes!" Shen Keqing nodded in agreement, and then said: "Mrs. Xing'er, the two of us have a pair of courtier's hats, I'm afraid we can't take them off!"
