Chapter 58: Yang Guang Returns to Heaven
Big things happened.
For Liu Ruoshui, there are not many things in this world that can be taken to heart, but this matter has to be shocked.
Because this one thing is indeed an earth-shattering event.
Originally, Liu Ruoshui wanted to stay in Pegasus Ranch for a few more days, and wait for Lu Miaozi to clean up his homes before setting off together.
But after hearing the news, Liu Ruoshui couldn't wait any longer, so he just confessed to Shang Xiuxun and rushed back to Xiangyang non-stop.
Because, Yang Guang is dead.
Although the news from Pegasus Ranch is somewhat vague, it can be judged that Yang Guang is indeed dead, dying at the hands of Yu Wenhua.
Compared with "history", Yang Guang died much earlier, which caught Liu Ruoshui off guard.
However, although Liu Ruoshui was not prepared, the pros still outweighed the disadvantages.
No matter what the situation in the world is, as long as Yang Guang is alive, then he is a veritable co-master of the world, and as long as he is alive, the Sui Dynasty has not perished.
Now, he is dead, which means the end of the Sui Dynasty, and it means that those heroes who pretend to be loyal ministers have finally begun to show their fangs.
If it is said that before Yang Guang's death, all the heroes were enduring it, and they could hibernate better than anyone.
But since Yang Guang's death, it is who is faster than him. The fast one can swallow the world calmly, and the slow one can only sigh that "it was not at the right time".
The big wild dragon is stinging, and the Central Plains deer is fat.
It's time to start the real race for the Central Plains.
After Liu Ruoshui returned to Xiangyang non-stop, he immediately took the void and Wei Zheng. Bai Wenyuan, Fengyun and other classes were summoned. Discuss big things.
When everyone gathered, Liu Ruoshui couldn't help frowning slightly.
Because he found. In the midst of the multitude, there was one more and one less.
The one who is missing is Bai Wenyuan. However, Bai Wenyuan should still be recuperating from his injuries at this time, if he can't come here, it would be normal, but the extra person made Liu Ruoshui feel stunned.
You must know that those who can sit here are the core people of Xiangyang City. Even Zheng Shuming was excluded by Liu Ruoshui.
Liu Ruoshui looked up and found that this person was a tall and majestic man who was between twenty-three and four years old.
He was not handsome, with a rough face, but a well-bridged nose, a broad forehead, and sparkling eyes, giving the impression of being both steady and resourceful.
When Liu Ruoshui gestured with his eyes, he took a step forward above the void. introduced, "Lord, this is General Li Jing, who you have been waiting for for a long time. It's just that the lord is not there, so I don't dare to arrange it without permission. can only wait for the lord to make his own decisions. ”
Hearing this, Liu Ruoshui couldn't help but be slightly stunned, and then overjoyed.
Li Jing. The word pharmacist was born in the family of the eunuchs. The nephew of the Sui general Han Baohu. His grandfather, Li Chongyi, was the assassin of Yinzhou and was named the Duke of Yongkang, and his father Li Quanshi Sui. The official is too shou of Zhao County.
Li Jing looks burly, because of the influence of the family, he has had a "literary and military talent" since he was a child, and he is quite enterprising. ”
When Li Tang attacked Wang Shichong's campaign, the Later Liang Xiao Milling regime sent a boat division up the river in an attempt to capture Bashu, and Li Yuan transferred Li Jing'an to Xiao Mill.
Li Jing was ordered to lead several cavalry to take up his post, and Ran Zhao, the leader of the Kaizhou barbarians, rebelled against the Tang Dynasty, and Li Jing led 800 soldiers to attack his camp and break the barbarians. Later, he set up an ambush in a dangerous place, killed Zhao Ze in a battle, and captured more than 5,000 people.
In the fourth year of Wude, in view of the situation between the enemy and us, Li Jing presented ten strategies to defeat Xiao Miao, Li Jing organized manpower and material resources to build boats and ships, organized soldiers to practice water warfare, and prepared to go down to Jiangling.
Li Jing defeated the Xiao army, killing and drowning nearly 10,000 people, and obtaining more than 400 ships. After capturing Yiling, Li Jing did not stop, led 5,000 light cavalry as the vanguard, and went straight to Jiangling, the capital of Houliang, so that Xiao Mo surrendered. Li Jing Sasuke Li Xiaogong came out of the army, and it took only two months to eliminate the Houliang, the largest separatist force in the south of the Yangtze River, and he made outstanding achievements.
If there is one person who can be called the god of war in contemporary times, it is Li Jing.
According to the original "history", Li Jing should have defected to Li Shimin, and now he can be taken under his command, which is not only to add an arm to himself, but also to break one of Li Shimin's arms.
Very good!
Liu Ruoshui said with a smile, "Okay, good! I once mentioned that General Li Ruolai will appoint a general to lead an army, I don't know what the general wants?"
Hearing this, Li Jing's heart couldn't help but be slightly shocked.
It has been some time since he came to Xiangyang, and Li Jing naturally knows that the soldiers and horses in Xiangyang City are divided into three armies. It also means that as soon as Liu Ruoshui's servants met, he entrusted one-third of his soldiers and horses to him.
Although Liu Ruoshui did mention this matter in his letter, otherwise he would not have been able to attract Li Jing, a general, but hearing this, Li Jing couldn't help but feel excited. After all, before he came to vote, he was just a member of Duvoy's command.
However, although he was excited, Li Jing has always been cautious, and after a little hesitation, he said, "The lord is very loving, and Li is grateful, but Li has just arrived, and he doesn't dare to take on this heavy responsibility." ”
Before Li Jing finished speaking, Liu Ruoshui smiled and said, "Haha, how can I not know the pharmacist's ability?
Hearing this, Li Jing could only happily accept the order.
After hearing Liu Ruoshui's words, everyone couldn't help but feel a shock in their hearts. Because according to Liu Ruoshui's words, the next step is obviously to capture Jingling.
However, Jingling is adjacent to Xiangyang, and it is a rare large county near Xiangyang, if it is not Liu Ruoshui's first target, it is a strange thing.
After Liu Ruoshui arranged Li Jing's position properly, he opened his mouth and said to Xu Xingzhi, "Okay, what is the situation in Jingling?
Void Xingzhi replied, "Lord, because of the Wanwan Demon Girl, Fang Zetao has been addicted to wine these days, and has been ignoring government affairs for a long time, although he is not dead, I am afraid that he is not far from death." ”
Xuan Xingzhi paused, and then said, "Judging from the current situation, Lingcheng can go down directly with one blow. However, Jianghuai Du Fuwei has already sharpened his troops and horses, and has already sharpened his sword against Jingling. If you want to capture Jingling, I am afraid that Du Fuwei will make a profit. ”
Liu Ruoshui smiled, "If that's the case, it's still a little troublesome." Pharmacist, if I entrust you with all my soldiers and horses, will you be able to resist Du Fuwei?"
Li Jing was slightly stunned, thought for a moment, and then said, "If you can take Jingling City, think that it is dependent, this matter is not difficult." ”
Liu Ruoshui smiled, "That's good." Xuan Cheng, what's going on with the Dongming faction? Is Mrs. Dongming willing to join me in Xiangyang City?"
Wei Zheng showed a wry smile on his face, and then said, "Chief, I have sent someone to try Mrs. Dongming. At first, Mrs. Dongming seemed to be moved. But for some reason, there was no follow-up the other day. ”
Liu Ruoshui said with a smile, "Good things are grinding, that's normal." Let me go to Jingling to explore the roots of Mrs. Dongming and Fang Zetao. ”
Wei Zheng showed a hint of surprise on his face, and said, "Don't be in charge! Lingcheng seems to have become the nest of the Yin Kwai Sect, I'm afraid it will be unfavorable to the lord." ”
Liu Ruoshui said with a smile, "Why not! Although the world is big, how can there be a place where I can't go." (To be continued.) )
