Seven hundred and fortieth chapters: Yue Yang goes to war
But soon Guo Zihe immediately clapped his chest and shouted: "What are you afraid of? If the Turks really dared to enter, there would be no need for us to be their puppets in the first place. Besides, if the Turks really dared to come, , the worst I can do is fight with them,"
Seeing Guo Zihe's fearless look, Du Ruhui and Li Jing also looked at each other. Li Jing nodded lightly to Du Ruhui and agreed to let Guo Zihe solve the problems in Taiyuan and Liang Shidu. Du Ruhui immediately After thinking about it again and again, he finally said to Guo Zihe: "Since General Guo is willing to contribute, it is of course the best. However, General Guo must be careful to remember that if the Turks really go south, General Guo cannot fight with them. In a head-on confrontation, one should avoid the sharp edge. In the worst case, just retreat to Luoyang."
"I understand." Guo Zihe didn't care much. He waved his hands repeatedly, then turned his head and said to Li Jing: "After these battles are over, I will go back to Ziyun Temple with you. We haven't done anything in so many years. When I went back, I really couldn’t recognize the way, haha,"
"Uncle Master's orders, I must obey them," Li Jing also immediately clasped his fists and saluted. He knew very well that it was not that Guo Zihe didn't know the way, but it was just that he had left Ziyun Temple by himself back then, and now he wanted to go back. There was something on his face. He couldn't explain it away, so he just wanted to find Li Jing to embolden him. For such an uncle, Li Jing found it interesting, so he didn't expose his little charade.
Du Ruhui on the side frowned. He was not worried that Guo Zihe would not be able to take Taiyuan, or that he would not be able to deal with Liang Shidu. Now that Li Shimin had been defeated one after another, and there was a fire in the backyard, he was already focused on Chang'an. , where is the thought to take care of Taiyuan? As for Liang Shidu, although it is rumored that Liang Shidu is the strongest among the three anti-kings at the border, after the defeat of Jishui, although Liang Shidu's troops were not damaged, After this defeat, morale was damaged. Although Guo Zihe's troops were not as powerful as Liang Shidu, Guo Zihe's army had always been the most powerful among the three rebel kings at the border. With Guo Zihe's ability, he defeated Liang Shidu. There is no problem with both teachers and students.
But Du Ruhui was still worried about Guo Zihe's trip to the north. The reason was for no other reason than that Wan He had finally won over Guo Zihe, the Turkic people who were dominating outside the pass, not just to give Li Shimin a chance in the Hongnong War. It's just a surprise. In fact, Guo Zihe's reputation in northern Xinjiang is extremely high. With Guo Zihe, it would be easy for Wan He to unify the northern area of Xinjiang. Therefore, Guo Zihe's plan for Wan He to unify the world That's a very important part.
But since he had agreed, it was hard to go back on his word. Du Ruhui could only nodded lightly, and after a few more instructions, he let Guo Zihe go. After watching Guo Zihe leave, Du Ruhui He turned his head again and said to Li Jing: "General Li, I think we should send someone to inform the prince about this matter. It is best to ask the prince to follow him north, just in case."
Du Ruhui was a little careful when he said this. After all, Guo Zihe was Li Jing's uncle, and judging from their actions just now, it seemed that they had a very good relationship. And what he just said made it clear that he didn't believe Guo Zihe, so there was no way he could protect Li Jing. He won't go crazy after hearing this, but what surprised Du Ruhui was that after hearing Du Ruhui's words, Li Jing not only didn't get angry, but nodded, agreed, and said in a deep voice: "I am a martial uncle who is more than strong, but... It's a bit careless, it's best to ask the prince to send someone to deal with it, and there won't be any mistakes in pacifying the north."
Li Jing was so sensible, which made Du Ruhui breathe a sigh of relief, and secretly admired Li Jing's ability to distinguish between public and private matters. Then, he said to Li Jing: "General Li, what do you think the general will do during this trip to Tongguan?"
What Du Ruhui asked was how Li Jing should march westward this time. This westward march is not that simple. Li Shimin's strength is still there. If he is pushed too hard, there is no guarantee that Li Shimin will not jump over the wall and lead all the Tang troops with him.
Li Jing tried his best, but if he only occupied the front line of Tongguan, it would not have any effect. It was impossible for Li Jing to stay in Tongguan like this forever.
Li Jing certainly understood the meaning of Du Ruhui's words. He lowered his head and thought for a moment, then raised his head, took a few steps forward, put his hands behind his back, and said in a deep voice: "This time I advance westward, my goal is still the same.
Outside Yueyang City, a fierce battle is about to begin at this moment. In the direction of Yueyang City, an army of tens of thousands of people wearing brown armor is lining up in a neat queue. Opposite them, the enemy two miles away is separated.
For the two camps, one of the armies with neatly dressed black generals was also arranged in a neat queue. But next to this army, there was an army in a scattered formation, and the clothes and armor they wore were also
There are all kinds of people, and it looks like a miscellaneous army, but it is such a miscellaneous army that makes the other two armies feel a little afraid.
The officers and soldiers in this miscellaneous army are all crooked, and even their clothes and armor are not neatly dressed, but every soldier's face shows some kind of crazy and ferocious blood and murderous intention.
Although they were all shouting and yelling like hooligans, no one dared to despise the fighting spirit emanating from them.
At the forefront of the brown-armored army in the distance, the three generals were all frowning. Their eyes were all focused on the miscellaneous army at the same time. One of the generals with a beard frowned and said in a deep voice.
: "Zhu Can's troops are indeed an out-and-out bandit as the rumors say. It is simply unimaginable that in these years, such a bandit has caused trouble in the Jianghuai area, but no one has
I can do anything to get him,"
"King Qin, don't take it lightly." Next to the bearded general, among the three generals, a white-faced and long-bearded general frowned and said to the bearded general: "Nothing else.
He said that Du Fuwei's soldiers and horses alone are not easy to mess with. Du Fuwei is a man who is rough on the outside and subtle on the inside. He is not an easy opponent. His generals Kan Ling and Ximen Junyi are both civil and military generals.
Talent, and although Zhu Can is notorious, he is a ruthless man in fighting. His soldiers are all desperadoes, and they are not afraid of life and death in fighting. This battle is beyond imagination.
It’s so simple,”
Just as the white-faced and long-bearded general finished speaking, the bearded general showed disdain and snorted: "The King of Chu is too ambitious and has destroyed his own prestige. Isn't it just Du Fuwei and Zhu Can?"
They are just two thieves, what do they mean?"
"King Qin," at this moment, the last general who had been silent before snorted, but he was a middle-aged general with a short beard and a scar on his forehead. His face was cold.
, his eyes looking forward were full of coldness and arrogance, and he snorted coldly: "No matter whether Zhu Can is powerful or not, I will make him pay for everything he did in Jiujiang,"
After hearing what General Scar said, the other two generals who were still arguing fell silent. Jiujiang was conquered by Zhu Can before, and Zhu Can also followed the usual rules and launched a massacre in Jiujiang. When Zhu Can left, there was no living person in Jiujiang and it became a dead city. With such cruel methods, it is no wonder that in the south of the Yangtze River, whenever Zhu Can's name is mentioned, everyone can't help but spit.
These three generals are not ordinary generals. They are the three generals under Xiao Xian, the overlord who now dominates the south of the Yangtze River. The one with the beard is Lei Shimeng, who was named King of Qin. He has a white face and a long beard. The person in question was Zheng Wenxiu, who was named the King of Chu. As for the last general, Scar, it was Zhang Xiu, who was named the King of Qi. These three people have always been highly used under Xiao Mian, and because of At the beginning, they were a group of people who supported Xiao Mian's great achievements, and were named kings with different surnames by Xiao Mian.
The two armies opposite them were Du Fuwei's army that had just set out from Jianghuai to attack Jiangnan, and the Kodakhan bandits led by Zhu Can, King of Garuda.
Although Xiao Mian had occupied a large area of land in the south of the Yangtze River early, Xiao Mian's ambitions were not big. He only wanted to recover the Houliang Kingdom, but he had no interest in dominating the world. Therefore, Xiao Mian has always been He concentrated on managing this three-acre land in the south of the Yangtze River and never took the initiative to send troops to attack other places. However, just because Xiao Mian was so weak did not mean that he did not have the strength to dominate the world. Zhu Can and Du Fuwei teamed up to attack, and they were immediately attacked by Xiao Mian. Xiao Xian's counterattack, especially after Zhu Can's previous sneak attack on Jiujiang, turned the good-looking Jiujiang City into a dead city, which completely angered everyone in Jiangnan. In anger, Xiao Xian even sent three kings with different surnames to Yueyang. To resist Zhu Can and Du Fuwei's troops, on the other hand, Xiao Mian also actively mobilized his troops and prepared to completely annihilate this enemy who had panicked the people in Jiangnan.
As soon as Zhang Xiu mentioned the tragic situation in Jiujiang City, both Lei Shimeng and Zheng Wenxiu looked solemn. Lei Shimeng naturally put away his contempt for Zhu Can and Du Fuwei, while Zheng Wenxiu put aside the feelings in his heart. Worries were forgotten, so what if Zhu Can and Du Fuwei were difficult to deal with? Zhu Can had killed so many people in Jiangnan, could he just let him go? No matter how high the price was, he would definitely To capture Zhu Can and cut him to pieces was the unanimous wish of all the soldiers and civilians in Jiangnan.
Immediately the three generals looked at each other and nodded at the same time. Then, Zhang Xiu took a deep breath, raised his head and looked forward, and shouted in a deep voice: "Zhu Can, Du Fuwei, you are so audacious that you dare to attack." If you don’t surrender quickly to my royal city, how long will it take?”
