Within reach.

If there is one word to describe the process of Liu Ruoshui getting Jingling City, it is only "at your fingertips".

For Liu Ruoshi, the Yin Kui faction is simply a "living Lei Feng", not only is Fang Zetao, the lord of Lingcheng City, dead, but the generals under him are almost all dead. In addition to the puppet named Ma Qun, there were only five or six second-level leaders still alive.

Although the Yin Kui faction also carried out a dying struggle and wanted to send troops to kill Liu Ruoshui, but it was only a mere three or four hundred scattered soldiers and horses, and Liu Ruoshui only spent some effort to kill them. And after Liu Ruoshui rescued the only remaining generals in Jingling City, he quickly swept away the forces of the Yin Kui faction.

Then, Liu Ruoshui easily took over Jingling City.

Although Liu Ruoshui is not "Long Aotian", it really doesn't take much effort to recover this group of remnants of the defeated generals. After all, over the years, Liu Ruoshui has already beaten his reputation. For this group of remnants of Jingling City, it is definitely a very lucky thing to have a "strong stock" like Liu Ruoshui to take refuge in.

For Liu Ruoshui, the only trouble to worry about is Jianghuai's Du Fuwei.

After all, in order to be able to recover Jingling City as soon as possible, Liu Ruoshui had already been informed of Fang Zetao's death and announced that he had become the new owner of Jingling City.

Liu Ruoshui did this, but there were pros and cons. On the one hand, Liu Ruoshui was able to control Jingling City at a faster speed, but on the other hand, the hearts of the people in Jingling City were completely chaotic. As long as Du Fuwei's army captures Jingling, Jingling is afraid that it will be defeated directly by a blow.

However, after the 20,000 troops led by Li Jing moved into Jingling. The restless hearts of the people immediately calmed down.

After all, although the high-ranking military of Jingling City was killed by the Yin Kui faction. But there was not much to lose from the bottom and the civilian staff. After all, the purpose of the Yin Kwai Sect was only to control Jingling. Instead of turning Jingling into a white field. Therefore, it only took Liu Ruoshui five or six days to re-stabilize the situation in Jingling City.

After Jingling City was initially stabilized, Liu Ruoshui called Li Jing over and asked,

"Now that Yang Guang is dead, the world is in chaos, and it is a good time to chase the Central Plains. Pharmacist, if I want to compete with the heroes of the world. Where do you start?"

Li Jing thought for a moment, and then said, "My lord, in my opinion, my lord should quickly control Nanyang and control the counties of Hannan as a foundation. After all, Xiangyang is not suitable as a place for the lord's foundation.

Liu Ruoshui did not comment on Li Jing's strategic thinking, but asked with interest, "Pharmacist." In your opinion, why can't Xiangyang become a place of foundation?"

Li Jing said solemnly, "Xiangyang is connected to Bashu in the west and Xiangchu in the south. Beixiang Heluo, so every time there is a war, it will inevitably look at each other. Three Kingdoms. Wei, Shu, and Wu fought hard for this city, causing Guan Yu to die here. Later, the Western Jin Dynasty invaded Wu. The Northern Expedition of Huanwen in the Eastern Jin Dynasty was based in Xiangyang. Therefore, Xiangyang is really the place of four wars. Therefore, the current situation of the lord seems to be very good, but in fact it is like an egg. ”

Liu Ruoshui said with a smile, "What the pharmacist said is indeed good, but you forgot a little. ”

Li Jing was slightly stunned, and then said solemnly, "My lord, please speak." ”

Liu Ruoshui said with a smile, "Xiangyang is indeed connected to Bashu in the west, Xiangchu in the south, and Heluo in the north, otherwise I would not have taken Xiangyang as my starting place." It's just that although Xiangyang is the land of the four wars, and the Bashu side, although it is nominally based on Xie Hui, it is a plate of scattered sand inside, so naturally you don't have to care. On Heluo's side, Li Mi and Wang Shichong are struggling to the death, and before the two decide the winner, they naturally can't divide their forces to capture Xiangyang. The only thing I need to deal with is Du Fuwei of JAC. ”

Hearing this, Li Jing pondered for a moment, and then said convincingly, "The lord is smart, and his subordinates are ashamed." ”

Liu Ruoshui said with a smile, "However, what you said is not bad, pharmacist, I called you over this time, in fact, I hope that you will guard Jingling, and I will personally lead my troops to capture Nanyang and control the counties of Hannan." I wonder how many troops you need to be able to defend Jingling?"

Li Jing thought for a moment, and then said, "Only 20,000 elite soldiers from the headquarters are enough to defend Jingling." ”

Hearing this number, Liu Ruoshui couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and then said, "Is this true? He had entrenched sixty or seventy thousand soldiers and horses near Jingling. ”

Li Jing said solemnly, "My lord, my subordinates are willing to lead the army." ”

Liu Ruoshui said with a smile, "Well, Lingcheng will be handed over to you." However, 20,000 elite soldiers are still a little less after all. In fact, Lingcheng was taken by my soldiers without blood, and the 30,000 soldiers and horses who dominated the villa were also absorbed by me, and I will hand them over to you. ”

"Don't worry, my lord, as long as I, Li Jing, am here, the city is here. I, Li Jing, will definitely live and die with Jingling City!" Li Jing arched his hand and said solemnly.

Hearing Li Jing's words, Liu Ruoshui couldn't help but smile and said, "Pharmacist, don't be so serious. When people die, they die, and they die. If people survive and die, then at least people are still there. In any case, the most important thing is to keep a useful body. Still, I believe it. With your ability, just one Du Fuwei can't capture this mausoleum city. ”

For Li Jing, Liu Ruoshui is naturally relieved. At the end of the Sui Dynasty, although Du Fuwei was an extremely powerful character, his ability to lead troops in large battles was still much worse than Li Jing, the famous military god through the ages. Therefore, although Li Jing's strength was only half of Du Fuwei's, Liu Ruoshui believed that his ability was enough to easily resist Du Fuwei, and maybe even make Du Fuwei suffer a big loss.

In fact, the only thing Liu Ruoshui needs to worry about is Du Fuwei's personal force. Although Li Jing's strength is good, his strength is also the level of a first-class player in the rivers and lakes, and compared with Du Fuwei, a veteran grandmaster, it is too different. If Du Fuwei was cheeky, then Li Jing might not be able to resist.

It's just that although Li Jing's strength is far less than Du Fuwei, his wife Red Whisk is an extremely powerful character. Liu Ruoshui once made a move to discuss with her, but she received more than 50 moves under Liu Ruoshui's hands before she was defeated. Although this is because Liu Ruoshui did not use a killing move, it is enough to prove her strength. With her ability, it is not difficult to resist a "good man in his sleeve" Du Fuwei.

Therefore, Liu Ruoshui reached out and patted Li Jing's shoulder and said, "Okay, Lingcheng will be completely handed over to you." Let's talk about how to take Nanyang down. (To be continued.) )
