The Passionate Guns of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 808 Unifying Jiangnan
One month later, that is, in mid-September 619 A.D., the good news came that Xiao Xian from Jiangnan surrendered and became a minister.Yang Yong was overjoyed when he heard this.

It turned out that Li Jing led an army of 5 to Yichang, together with Qin Qiong, Zhang Ying and Zhao Sheng's 15 horsemen, a total of [-] horses, besieged Jingzhou from two routes. Along the way, led by Qin Qiong, he cooperated with Li Jing to attack Jingzhou from the west from Zhijiang.Jingzhou is Xiao Mian's strategic location, and also the gateway to the northwest of Xiao Liang. Jin Wang Dong Jingzhen, Xiao Mian's favorite general, led [-] elite soldiers to garrison here.

Dong Jingzhen fought against Li Jing not once. In the battle of Dongting Lake, Li Jing was defeated by him. Dong Jingzhen followed up all the way. After more than half a year, the two went to war again. Dong Jingzhen made the mistake of underestimating the enemy this time.

However, Dong Jingzhen, as the king of Jin, was in command of the three armies and had rich combat experience. Seeing that the rebel army was coming fiercely and with a large number of people, he would not fight, but relied on the fortified city and the natural danger of the Yangtze River to defend.

Li Jing and Qin Qiong launched a fierce attack with superior forces. The two sides fought fiercely for five days, but Jingzhou could not be captured.Li Jing saw that a strong attack would not work, so he and Qin Qiong still feinted to attack Jingzhou from the north and west, and at the same time sent General Shan Xiongxin and a team to attack Bailizhou.

Bailizhou is a large island in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River, covering an area of ​​more than 200 square kilometers. Dong Jingzhen ignored the strategic importance of this place, and there is no garrison on the island.After Shan Xiongxin's horse took Bailizhou with ease, he dispatched a surprise army to quickly flatten several counties in the south of the Yangtze River, such as Yidu, Songzi, Gong'an, and Jiangling, and then crossed the Yangtze River from the south and went straight to the east of Jingzhou. Enemy on all sides.

Seeing that Jingzhou had become an isolated city, Dong Jingzhen panicked and abandoned the city overnight, intending to take a shortcut and flee to Wuchang. As soon as he arrived in Mianyang (today's Qianjiang City, Hubei Province), the news of Wuchang's fall came. After the 10,000+ army won Hanyang, they took Wuchang in one fell swoop, and Song Wang Yang Daosheng was killed.

Dong Jingzhen had no choice but to divert south to Yueyang with the remnant soldiers and defeated generals.Soon, Li Jing and Xu Maogong's army chased after Yueyang.

Yue Yang is Xiao Mian's lair, but Liang Wang Xiao Mian is not in Yue Yang at this time.It turned out that after Xiao Xian's personal conquest was defeated by Yang Yong, Chu Wang Zheng Wenxiu was killed, and he retreated to Changsha with the injured Qi Wang Zhang Xiu.Xu Xuanche, King of Yan under Xiao Mian who is currently guarding Yueyang, has an army of 12.

Dong Jingzhen ran to Yueyang with the remnants of the defeated generals. Together with the troops of Yan Wang Xu Xuanche who guarded Yueyang, Liang Jun gathered a total of 16 troops to fight against the rebels, which was called the Battle of Yueyang.Half a month later, the city was broken, Xu Xuanche, the king of Yan, died in battle, Dong Jingzhen was desperate and was killed by his generals, 16 Liang died, and the whole army was wiped out.

After Li Jing and Xu Maogong took Yueyang, they joined forces and gathered 30 troops to attack Changsha, where they surrounded Changsha City.

Yue Yang fell, and Xiao Liang shook the whole country.Xiao Mian is now exhausted, besieged on all sides, even the capital Yueyang is lost, only Changsha is left in the big prefecture.It turns out that Xiao Liang, who is rich and powerful, has a vast territory, many soldiers and many generals, and his strength can be described as strong.But now there are only a few states and counties left in the south, and there are only more than [-] soldiers and horses. The key point is that more than a dozen princes under him have died or been injured. Now there is only Zhang Xiu, the king of Qi who has just recovered from his injuries. It is a major general who is short of soldiers.

Xiao Mian saw that the general situation was over, and his ally Datang could not count on it, because the news of Princess Kaiyang and Yang Yong's marriage also reached his ears at this time, Xiao Mian knew that if the fight continued, there would be no second kind As a result, after some painful thinking, he ordered the city guards to abandon their swords and guns, and he personally took Qi Wang Zhang Xiu and other civil and military officials to surrender the city with the jade seal.Xu Maogong and Li Jing tied him up, and the brigade marched into Changsha.

At this point, Xiao Liang was officially defeated.In this way, it took less than three years from Xiao Xianluo County’s rise of troops in 617, to his proclaiming emperor in Yueyang in 618, and to the surrender of Changsha in 619, which was two years earlier than the five-year-old Xiao Liang who was recorded in history. The stage of history, of course, is due to Yang Yong's crossing over, but whether Xiao Liang is three years old or Xiao Liang is five years old, they all belong to short-lived local separatist dynasties, which are at most short-lived in the long river of history.

On the one hand, the two military divisions reported the victory to Yang Yong, and on the other hand, they rested their troops and reorganized the prisoners. After handling the post-war affairs, they left elite soldiers and strong generals to guard Changsha, Yueyang, Wuchang, Jingzhou, Yichang and other strategic places, and brought 20 troops to escort them. Major prisoners of war such as Xiao Mian and Zhang Xiu moved triumphantly.

At the beginning of October of the same year, Li Jing, Xu Maogong and other 20 rebel soldiers came outside Daxing City. After Yang Yong heard the news, he opened the city gates and personally led military adviser Wei Zheng, six beautiful wives, and general Zhao Sihai out of the city to greet them.

After meeting Yang Yong, Li Jing and Xu Maogong hurriedly saluted Yang Yong with all the generals. Yang Yong smiled and asked the generals to excuse him. These generals hadn't seen each other for a long time, especially Qin Qiong hadn't seen Yang Yong for more than two years Yong waited for someone, and it was very cordial when we met today.

After the greetings, Li Jing and Xu Maogong briefly reported to Yang Yong the process of pacifying Xiao Mian this time, and the rest of the generals talked about their parting feelings to each other, talking and laughing, it was very lively.

Li Wan'er traveled south with her father, and it's only been three months since she left Yang Yong, but it seems like a few years have passed, and Bai Yu, Bi'er, and Zhu'er have been separated from Yang Yong for even longer, and seeing each other every day is like three autumns, the pain of parting Urgent need to talk.But at this time there were too many people, and Yang Yong was too busy arguing with Li Jing and Xu Maogong, and they couldn't talk to their beloved ones, so they could only come and chat with Yang Yuling and other sisters.

There are three women in one play, not to mention that they have a total of ten women now, and if you count Yang Yimeng, there are eleven.A group of three, a group of two, twittering.

Li Wan'er and Bai Yu found Li Feng'er in a white dress standing not far away. She was very handsome, but they didn't recognize her. At this time, no one chatted with her. She stood there alone and didn't care about others. , with a calm expression, lonely, a bit out of tune with the festive and joyful atmosphere of the crowd.

"Sister Yu'er, who is she?" Li Wan'er glanced at Li Feng'er and asked Bai Yu.

"Sister Wan'er, if you ask another person, we both know." Bai Yu also cast a strange look at her.

"Could it be the prince's new concubine!" Li Wan'er blinked at Li Feng'er.

This was heard by Princess Yujing, who was chatting enthusiastically with Nangong Saihua and Yang Yuling next to her. Princess Yujing came to Li Wan'er, glanced at Li Fenger, and said loudly on purpose: "Sister Wan'er doesn't understand now, what? Little concubine! Let my sister tell you, she is not a concubine, she is Princess Kaiyang of Tang Dynasty, she is famous, by the way, what is her name?" She said and looked at Li Feng'er jokingly.

"Princess of the Tang Dynasty?" Li Wan'er's eyes widened in shock. She also heard about the marriage between the Great Tang and the Rebel Army. She was a little unhappy when she arrived today, so she couldn't help but sneer, "How many princesses does the Tang Dynasty have, Pingyang The princess has only been killed in battle for a few months, so here is another Princess Kaiyang?"

Li Feng'er had noticed these unfriendly eyes and words a long time ago, Liu Mei raised her eyebrows, and was about to get angry, but when she considered her situation, she held back again.

But this subtle movement was caught by Princess Yujing, "Oh, you have such a big temper, as expected of a princess, you can't cry!"

Didi, giggling, the beauties covered their mouths and laughed.

"You want to bully people?" Li Feng'er sternly said, a flash of murderous intent flashed in her eyes, and she inadvertently touched the sword at her waist... Come on.)
