Chapter 393 5 Dragons in the Sea

Chapter 393

There is water everywhere outside Jiangling City, which is the place where rivers and rivers converge, and it is also the hub of water and land routes for Jingxiang.

At the gate of the city, Wang Sengbian held a saber in his hand and stared at a group of soldiers being escorted out of the city with unfriendly eyes.Don't get me wrong, this is not the private army that Xiao Huan belongs to, but an out-and-out "one of my own".

And they were not ordinary soldiers, but Xiao Yi's personal guards, led by Xiao Yi's "brother-in-law" Wang Lin.

The gang of Qiu Ba robbed all the way after they entered Jiangling City, and finally the law enforcement team sent by Wang Sengbian captured them one by one and brought them to their eyes.

Although Wang Sengbian didn't understand why Xiao Huan gave up his fief, the important city of Jiangling, to Xiao Yi, but it was a good thing after all.Occupying Jiangling, Xiao Yi's private army can calmly train in Dongting Lake, and the team on the Eastern Expedition does not have to worry about being cut off.

Besides, Jiangling is rich and has plenty of money and food, so it's really not too exciting.

Wang Sengbian came to take over Jiangling in the name of Xiao Yi, originally he was elated and full of ambition.Unexpectedly, the robbery by Wang Lin and his subordinates was indeed too unpleasant.

"Cut off all the looting soldiers and report to King Xiangdong (Xiao Yi)."

Wang Sengbian said to the soldiers in a deep voice.Jiangling City is the foundation of Xiao Yi's eastward expedition to Jiankang, and there must be no loss.Why don't rabbits understand the truth that they don't eat grass beside their nests?
Wang Sengbian secretly hates Wang Lin for being domineering because of Xiao Yi's backing.

At this moment, a group of cavalry came galloping, as if the visitors were not friendly.All the soldiers around him were on guard, only Wang Seng Bianben watched the leader of the cavalry team intently.

Soon, the team of cavalry reined in and stopped. The leading general, Qi Yu, looked quite elegant with long hair.

"Wang Dudu, those brothers under the command of the last general cannot be killed!"

This person is Wang Lin, Xiao Yi's brother-in-law, who is the leader of loyalty and is very popular in the army.Xiao Yi made him the captain of the personal army, and he managed the entire military team like an iron bucket, and did not listen to Wang Sengbian's dispatch at all.

The two had conflicts on weekdays, but because of Xiao Yi's face, there was no open conflict.

"They plundered Jiangling City and destroyed the lord's foundation. Do you think they should be killed?"

Wang Sengbian asked with a grim expression.

Wang Lin looked disapproving, and said boldly: "It's just looting. Did you kill me? Kill me and let the killer die. If you don't kill me, this matter will be exposed. I will use my salary to fill these pits in the future. How about it?"

For the sake of talking about it, what else can Wang Sengbian say?Furthermore, the entry of those under Wang Lin's command into the city was indeed robbery, not murder or arson.It seems that killing people is not enough.

"My lord's ambition is in the world, how can you ruin the morale for such a small profit. Don't you know what it means to destroy an ant's nest if the embankment of a thousand miles is destroyed?"

Wang Sengbian continued to scold with a fierce face, not wanting to let Wang Lin go easily.

"I have never heard of those principles. All I know is that before the army goes out, the strong will be killed first. Who will die for the general in the future? Serving as a soldier is just food. If you don't fill your stomach, how can you go to war?

Jiangling is still in the process of receiving it. The soldiers under my command accidentally plundered it, and those who don't know it will not be guilty.In the future, I will be bound by the steps, so it's okay, right? "

After all, Wang Lin was subdued, after all, it was unreasonable.But those people under him must be rescued.He covers his subordinates, and when fighting, his subordinates will serve him to death, it is such a simple reason.

Take a ten thousand step back and say that you can't let Wang Sengbian kill you, you have to clean up the door yourself, otherwise who will obey yourself in the future?
"Okay, okay, let's take it away!"

Wang Sengbian said impatiently.Wang Lin is not a playboy, he has his own way of doing things.Although Wang Sengbian is not used to it, he cannot deny that the other party's trick is also effective.

Xiao Yi's personal guards are the elite of the elite, among which Wang Lin's commander-in-chief is indispensable.If there is any secret, I saw it just now, those people are his younger brothers, Wang Lin is extremely defensive, when fighting, those people are risking their lives to fight.

Coupled with Xiao Yi's deliberate support, Wang Sengbian felt that Wang Lin was faintly fighting against him.

Sure enough, after entering Jiangling City at night, Xiao Yi punished Wang Lin without pain, and beat the fifth army stick to finish the matter.The law enforcement is the pro-military team. How much strength can they use to beat their own boss?
Of course, this is just a trivial matter, Wang Sengbian still has major matters to discuss with Xiao Yi.

"My lord, the last general thinks that taking Xiangyang first is the best policy to protect the future without worries, and marching into Jiankang is the middle policy. Returning to Xiangzhou is really the worst policy. Xiao Huan took the initiative to give up Jiangling City. It was lax defense, thinking that we would not send troops.

It's better to take advantage of the unpreparedness and attack Xiangyang quickly! "

Wang Seng argued for three strategies of "upper, middle and lower".He didn't say why he wanted to "fight without declaring", and Xiao Yi didn't question why the other party said that, everything was tacit.

"Attacking Xiangyang is too time-consuming. Once we fail, the morale of the army will be frustrated. Instead, let the people from the elder brother's family gather together to hold us back. This is not good."

Xiao Yi categorically rejected Wang Sengbian's "best policy".

This doesn't seem to be surprising, after all, Xiao Yi has been thinking about that position in Jiankang City for a long time.

"Retire for a few days and see what's going on in Xiangyang. If there is no preparation to send troops there, we will set off for Jiankang." Xiao Yi said in a deep voice, his gloomy face did not seem to be affected by Xiao Huan's dedication of Jiangling City Feel elated.

"My lord, what's on your mind?"

Wang Sengbian asked cautiously.

"Liu Yishou of Lianghuai, what is he doing? He is suspected of regicide, why didn't the crowd rise up and attack him?"

Xiao Yi was a little puzzled, it seemed that only Xiao Gang had followed his strategy of "killing two birds with one stone".Now Liu Yishou in Lianghuai is terribly quiet, and he doesn't know what he is preparing.

"My lord, I'm sorry to be blunt. Nowadays, people from all walks of life are rushing to Jiankang, and the one who enters Jiankang first is the king. Who has the heart to talk to Liu Yishou? As long as Liu Yishou doesn't take the initiative to jump out, then he will only be in the dust. When it was settled, someone asked him to settle the score."

Wang Sengbian said with a sigh.

Xiao Yi is like this, he must do what he decides no matter what.And a little moody, even angry at the time, it is not uncommon to feel regret afterwards.

Since you can't listen to it, you have no choice but to stop talking.

Wang Sengbian immediately kept silent.

"When we arrive in Hefei, we will write a letter to Liu Yishou and invite him to hold important events together."

Xiao Yi said with a cold light in his eyes.

These words were like a fairy tale, if Liu Yishou knew what Xiao Yi had done behind his back, let alone cooperation, he might turn his face on the spot.Wang Sengbian asked with a strange expression: "My lord, Liu Yishou is definitely not the kind of person who would be willing to be inferior to others. He is unlikely to be used by me, right?"

"At that time, he can't be left alone. His reputation is not right. Does he want to go to Jiankang to take that position?"

Xiao Yi asked coldly.

Wang Sengbian was speechless, and Liu Yishou's biggest weakness was his identity.If Xiao Gang succeeds the emperor in Jiankang, and there are still so many people who support him, Liu Yishou taking that position is tantamount to making enemies of everyone in the Liang Kingdom!

It was hard for Wang Sengbian to imagine that someone as intelligent as Liu Yishou would choose such a path.

"My lord is very true..." Wang Sengbian felt that Xiao Yi's words had no flaws at all, but for some reason he felt a little uneasy.He has dealt with Liu Yishou before, he is extremely powerful, he is excellent in both literature and martial arts.

If such a person can be used for himself, it will be like a tiger with wings added.But in fact, because such a person is too good, no one in Liang Guo's clan can grasp it.

This is the sad part of Liu Yishou. He wants to turn to no one to turn to. If he wants to go it alone, he can't see the prospect of winning strategically. He just makes a noise and listens.

"How many soldiers and horses can we gather for this expedition?"

Xiao Yi asked calmly, with an indescribable sense of oppression.

"Returning to the lord, there are 1 vanguards and 3 soldiers in the central army. The auxiliary soldiers will not be brought along, and they will take over the supplies from the states and counties along the way. Everything is ready. At the end of the day, Yingzhou will be the base camp and will be responsible for the supplies of the armies."

Yingzhou (Wuchang) is an important node in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River. Not only is the transportation extremely convenient, but there is also no shortage of money and food.Yingzhou is not controlled by Xiao Yi now, but by Xiao Clan's offshoots.Xiao Yi believes that the other party will cooperate with him very sensibly.

"Well, you can do everything according to your discretion. Remember to tell me if you have anything to do, don't act without authorization, understand?"

Xiao Yi's tone was vaguely suggestive, and Wang Sengbian quickly agreed to resign.

……

Early in the morning, in the study room of Liu Yishou's mansion in Shouyang City, Chen Yuankang put a thick stack of letters on the table, and then said to Liu Yishou with a helpless smile: "My lord was in Xiangyang a few days ago. Yes. Letters from all walks of life are pouring in like snowflakes, and even Xiao Gang said that what happened before was purely a misunderstanding, and I hope the lord will lead the army to serve the king.”

Shouyang is an important town in Huaihe River, it can even be said to be the core.Shouyang garrisoned heavy troops and remained motionless.Although Liu Yishou did this in a low-key manner, but a huge monster is not far away, even if he does nothing, it will give people a great sense of oppression.

Everyone knows that today's Liu Yishou seems to have become Han Xin who led the Han army to capture Qi during the Chu-Han conflict.Attack the king of Han, and King Xiang will win; attack King Xiang, and the king of Han will win.If no one attacks, the world will be divided into three parts.

Now which feudal lord can persuade Liu Yishou to join him in sending troops to Jiankang, then there is a great possibility that he will sit in that position.Of course, whether we can sit still and sit firmly depends on the future development.

Liu Yishou looked at the mountains of letters, covered his forehead and said, "Let me take it easy, just come and tell me."

Last night, a few ladies went to battle together, indulged wildly like dry wood and fire, and they didn't fall asleep until the middle of the night.Early this morning, Liu Yishou was called up by Chen Yuankang and others to discuss important matters. Fortunately, he was young and in good health and often boxed and exercised, otherwise the iron man would have to hang himself on the southeast branch.

"Xiao Gang said that what happened before was all a misunderstanding. My lord, please lead the troops to serve the king, and make my lord the commander of all Chinese and foreign military forces, grand master, Kaifu Yitong three divisions, etc."

Chen Yuankang read with a suppressed smile.

"Did you add Jiuxi?" Liu Yishou yawned boredly and asked.

"Uh, of course there is no such thing as Xiao Gang doesn't want to be Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty either." Chen Yuankang said with a helpless wry smile.Liu Yishou really thought too much.

"Nine tins are not willing to join, no sincerity at all. Passed, next one."

Chen Yuankang put down the letter embarrassingly, and re-read the beliefs written by Xiao Lun, Xiao Xu, Xiao Yi and others, feeling that they were not as sincere as Xiao Gang.

"It seems that I am too low-key in my daily life."

Liu Yishou said with a sigh.

Although these letters are all waste paper to me, it's too hard to wipe my ass.However, up to this juncture, he hasn't been properly wooed, and he seems to be losing face.

"By the way, how is Xiao Fan now?"

Liu Yishou asked curiously.In this wave, he has severely tricked Xiao Fan, Pei Zhigao and the others. Could it be that these two have already sent it?

"Uh, although the situation in Liyang is very embarrassing, Xiao Fan and Pei Zhigao seem to be quite resolute in resisting, and Liyang City is also holding on to the crumbling."

Chen Yuankang also felt very strange, could it be that Pei Zhigao really used soldiers like a god?
"Xiao Fan and Pei Zhigao fought their backs. Anyway, their first protest against rebellion is already famous in history. As long as they survive this wave, it will be enough to honor the lintel. Since you can't surrender, why not give it a go?"

Liu Yishou has already seen the plot of Xiao Fan and others, and they are just waiting for Xiao Gang to stumble.Then those who initiated the initiative will be treated preferentially by the new monarch.This can be regarded as a kind of alternative "one does not do two endlessly".

"Order Peng Le and Yang Zhong to lead the cavalry to attack Liu Zhongli's army and break the siege of Liyang. Although we don't express our position now, we might as well give a hint. Now that the anti-Xiao Gang team is gradually gathering, it's time to show our strength."

At the beginning it was said to "cover" Xiao Fan and others, now it is time to "fulfill" the promise.Liu Yishou feels like he is a New Yorker policeman, who only shows up after the criminal and the victim have finished their work.

"My lord's words are very true. What we're doing is trying to push the boundaries. Many things can be done practically, but we don't say a word, and we understand everything we know."

Chen Yuankang said calmly.

"Who asked Xiao Gang to sit in that position? He is in Jiankang, so I can't help him. Otherwise, his position will be secure, and at least he will be transferred from the prince to the emperor. There are some rules of etiquette, and it will be difficult for me to operate later.

Only let other people help us break through Jiankang and replace it.That was the time to take out Xiao Yan's edict. "

Liu Yishou's plan was clear, and all arrangements had been made long ago.

"It's just, why did my lord go to Jingxiang in person this time? In fact, it can be done if I go down."

Chen Yuankang asked worriedly, Liu Yishou is a very adventurous person, as long as he thinks it is possible, he will go to the front without hesitation.

"Nowadays the flames of war are raging, and those in the Xiao Clan who don't want to make trouble are like frightened birds. Only by being there in person can I win people's trust. This is a major matter involving succession to the throne. How can it be done by others?"

If possible, Liu Yishou didn't want to go to Xiangyang either.But if they didn't go, it would be hard for the members of Xiao Tong's family to believe in the sincerity of Shouyang. After careful consideration, Liu Yishou felt that he had to go.

"By the way, for Xiao Huan, don't monitor too much. It would be bad if you scare him."

Liu Yishou couldn't help but make a point.
