Chapter 2253 Tang Jun enters Jing

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    After Li Shimin accepted the order, he sent troops from Kuizhou and went straight to Nanjun.  Although he had 150,000 troops, he only had 50,000 troops on this trip.  On the one hand, it takes time to recruit various armies, but on the other hand, Li Shimin was also afraid of bringing too many troops, which scared Xiao Xian.

    Although he wanted to annex Jingxiang, Li Shimin had already planned it.

    The Jingjiang River twists and turns, and the Li and Tang navy does not have an advantage. If they attack Xiao Mian with great fanfare, they will not only encounter desperate resistance from the other side, but also alarm the Sui army on one side.

    Therefore, Li Shimin wanted to use the name of aiding Xiao Liang from the beginning, and tried to hide his sword under a smile and occupy the magpie's nest.

    Anyway, Xiao Liang asked for them himself.

    Li Tang's army went straight down the river, and the journey was smooth. Soon Li Shimin arrived at Yiling City.

    Anguo Gong Xu Shao, the governor of Jiazhou, was Li Yuan's classmate when he was young. After the great chaos, he surrendered the four counties of Yiling, Qian'an, Wuling and Liyang to the Tang Dynasty.  Later, with the rise of Xiao Mian, Xu Shao defended Yiling City for a long time without external aid and defeated Liang Jun many times.  If Xu Shao hadn't blocked Yiling so hard that Xiao Liang couldn't communicate with the east and west, Xiao Liang's army of more than 100,000 would have poured into Bashu.

    It¡¯s hard to say whether Li Yuan, who is newly defeated, can stabilize the situation.

    Yiling is only about 200 miles from Jiangling. It has been managed by Xu Shao for a long time and can be regarded as Li Shimin's rear area.

    After arriving at Yiling, Li Shimin sent people to Jiangling and asked Liang Jun to release his defense line so that he could enter smoothly.

    At this time, Xiao Liang's situation was different from before.  After the Battle of Yuzhang, the main force of the Sui army did not attack Xiao Liang in a large scale. Instead, it had retreated due to internal chaos, so it was not so urgent for Li Tang's reinforcements.

    And Xiao Xian didn't have much trust in Li Yuan. Facing the wolf-like Tang army, he was afraid that the other party would make a false attack on Guo and annex him.

    This is not unfounded. Liu Bei has a bad reputation. He was invited by Liu Zhang to fight against Zhang Lu in Sichuan, but Zhang Lu didn't fight much. Liu Bei killed Liu Zhang with his backhand.

    But for Xiao Mian, Li Tang's reinforcements were requested by him, and he couldn't refuse them for fear of offending Li Tang and forcing the reinforcements away.

    After having no choice but to let go of the defense line, Xiao Mian had to let Li Shimin enter.  Of course, it is impossible for Jiangling City to let Li Shimin enter.

    Xiao Mian vacated a Ziling County (east of the old city of Jiangling County, Jingzhou City, Hubei Province today) and handed it over to Li Shimin, asking him to station troops here.

    Li Shimin originally wanted the public security, but if that didn't work, he would have to go to Anxing (ruling the east of the ancient city of Jiangling County, Jingzhou City, Hubei Province today). Ziling was too remote and isolated. He had to face the Sui army in Mianyang.  Jiang Ling grabbed his neck from behind again.

    So Li Shimin deliberately pretended to be unhappy and threatened that Xiao Liang did not trust him and would withdraw his troops and return to central Sichuan.

    Xiao Mian was afraid that Li Tang would come in, but he was even more afraid that Li Tang would leave.

    In the battle of Yuzhang, the four kings Zhang Xiu, Zheng Wenxiu, Wan Zan, and Xu Xuanche either died or surrendered, and 150,000 elite troops were lost, which really frightened Xiao Xian's courage.

    Seeing that Li Shimin was leaving, he panicked.  After all, if the Sui army doesn't come now, it will come again in the future.  And if Li Shimin leaves because he is angry, he will not come again next time.

    People are poor but have short ambitions, and horses are skinny and have long hair.  We cannot count on our own people, we can only count on outsiders.

    &#24378&#29306&#32&#98&#120&#119&#120&#46&#99&#111&#32&#35835&#29306&#12290At this time, Huangmen Minister Liu Zi suggested that since Li Tang thought Ziling County was too small, he should not  If Yingzhou (Jingling County) and Xiangzhou in the north are handed over to Li Tang, Li Tang can guard the northern border for them.

    Xiao Mian was a little reluctant.

    After Xiao Mian's uprising, he never thought about going north to conquer Xiangyang and recapture the north gate of Jingxiang.  After conquering Nanjun, Xiao Mian sent Dong Jingzhen on a northern expedition. Dong Jingzhen successfully occupied Jingling County and fought all the way to Ledao County south of Xiangyang (now north of Yicheng City, Hubei Province).

    However, Dong Jingzhen was unprepared and was defeated by Xiangyang County soldiers.  Later, when Huang Mingyuan went south, Xiangyang, Chunling, and Handong counties were all attached, and Xiao Liang could no longer reach Xiangyang.

    Seeing that there was no hope of regaining Xiangyang, Xiao Liang established Xiangzhou in Hannan County (now Yicheng City, Hubei Province).

    Ying and Xiangzhou are Xiaoliang's last barriers to the north. If these two places are abandoned, Jiangling will become a frontier.

    Seeing that Xiao Mian was reluctant to leave the two states, Liu Zi advised: "The soldiers in Ying and Xiang states are small, and if the Sui army goes south, they will not be able to protect it. It is better to hand it over to Li Tang to gain the other party's trust."

    After Li Tang occupied Ying and Xiangzhou, he separated our army from the Sui army in the north.  When the Sui army goes south, it will attack Li Tang first.  If Li Tang wanted to defend his territory, he would have to fight to the death with the Sui army, but Jiangling would be safe.  "

    After hearing this, Xiao Mian felt that it made sense, so he followed Liu Zi's words.

      Li Shimin was overjoyed when he won the two prefectures of Ying and Xiang. Of course he knew that Xiao Mian wanted to divert trouble to the east, but he was still willing to accept it.

    Having captured the two states of Ying and Xiang, Jiangling will be surrounded from both sides. It will be easier to capture Jiangling in the future.  And by occupying the two states of Ying and Xiang, Li Shimin could build a border defense line as soon as possible to prevent the Northern Sui army from taking advantage of him while he was trying to destroy Xiao Xian.

    Therefore, occupying Ying and Xiangzhou is simply a matter of killing two birds with one stone. How could he not be willing?

    Li Shimin then ordered several people to be the governor of Xiangzhou and Li Changqing to be the governor of Yingzhou.

    This time 75z*w*.com Zhang Si.  In the Li and Tang Dynasties, the Dudu's Mansion and the General's Mansion were combined. The full name of the Dudu was "in charge of the soldiers and horses, armor, city emperors, towns, grain and farm affairs of the states, and the affairs of the General Magistrate's Mansion". It was only responsible for the military, while the General's Mansion was responsible for military and political power.  Dominated.

    In addition, Li Shimin also ordered Li Xiaogong to garrison troops in Dangyang, while Li Shimin himself led the main force and was stationed in Ziling.

    Although there are all kinds of disadvantages in Ziling, there is only one thing that cannot be compared with it. It is close to Jiangling.  It is almost sixty miles from Ziling County to Jiangling City. It starts in the morning and arrives in the evening.

    After Li Shimin led 30,000 troops to Ziling, he was not polite to Xiao Mian.

    Originally, both parties had agreed that Li Tang would send troops and Xiao Liang would give up Qiazhou and Chenzhou and Xizhou in central Guizhou. At the same time, all the expenses of Li Tang's army in Jingxiang would be paid by Xiao Liang.

    "My Healing Game"

    "Xiao Liang had no soldiers, but he had money.

    So after Li Shimin set up camp, he asked Xiao Xianshi for 500,000 dan of food, 2,000 horses, 50,000 armor collars, 300,000 pieces of cloth, 100,000 weapons of all kinds, and 5 million bows and arrows.  , five hundred warships.

    Xiao Mian almost couldn't hold in his breath after hearing this.

    " Xiao Mian is indeed a wealthy businessman and rich, but Li Shimin is not conceited at all. This bite can bite off half of Xiao Liang's body.

    Of course Xiao Mian would not give it, but he did not dare to refuse it directly, so he had to send someone to Li Shimin's army. He said that the treasury was insufficient and it would be difficult to make enough money at the moment. Please reduce some supply and demand.

    Li Shimin immediately became unhappy and said bluntly: "I risked my life for the Liang Kingdom, but Liang Jun was so stingy that he only cared about a few supplies. What's the use of having more supplies in Liang Jun's camp? If the Northern Sui army comes, wouldn't it mean that all the supplies are for the Northern Sui Dynasty?"  The army makes wedding clothes.¡±

    Li Shimin also threatened that if Xiao Liang continued to pick on Sosou and did not treat them as his own, they would return to Sichuan and would never tolerate this cowardice.
