Turbulent Times Chapter 1686: Liang Guo is in a hurry


For this expedition against Liang, Wang Junlin used three generals, Xu Shiji, Qin Qiong, and Yuchi Jingde, and seven land and water legions, totaling 350,000 horses,

100,000 troops, on the surface of the sea, overwhelming ships almost cover the sea surface, standing on the tall command ship of the Sea Lion, which is full of 10,000 materials, Yuchi Jingde and Gan Ziqi are in high spirits. Strategic goals are full of confidence.

Liang Guo does not have a navy, but it is absolutely impossible to be in Renxiao City, the southernmost city.

So, the entire South China Sea is now completely under the control of their Da'an Empire Navy.

The sea lion battalion sailors appeared in the outer sea of ​​Nanhai County, and the whole process was truly as if they had entered no one's land.

For countless years in Renxiao City, except for a small number of pirates who landed on remote coasts and entered villages to loot and plunder, no army from the sea has ever attacked the port of Renxiao City and then attacked the city.

The Kingdom of Liang has been established for seven years, and has fought many battles with Shen Faxing of Hangzhou and Lin Shihong of Yuzhang in these years, but Renxiao City is in the far south, far away from the battlefield.

So, Ren Xiaocheng has not been vigilant and guarded against the invading enemies for many years.

"General Gan, after your ship approaches, use a giant catapult to attack from a long distance to cover our Tiger Legion's landing on the shore to seize the beachhead. We will attack the outer defense line of Liang Guocheng as quickly as possible." Before the vicinity of Renxiao City, Yuchi Jingde and Gan Ziqi didn't decide on a specific tactic. Just now they used binoculars to observe the enemy carefully, coupled with the information sent by the secret agents of the Military Intelligence Department, they immediately decided on this tactic.

"Don't worry, General Yuchi, there will be no bad things in our sea lion battalion!" Gan Ziqi said with a smile.

Da'an Empire, the second year of Tianxiang, January 21st, Nanhai County of Liang State, the army of Da'an State South Road easily captured Renxiao City, and in just seven days, Yuchi Jingde captured the entire Hainan County .

At the same time, the Nanzhao tribe rebelled, killing all the officials of the six Nanzhao tribes of Liang State, and gathered 30,000 troops to attack Guiyang County of Liang State.

So far, Wang Junlin's four-sided attack plan has been completed.

……

……

On January 24th, the bad news of the fall of Nanhai County arrived in Baling City via 800 li. On the same day, the news that Xin'an County fell in the east and the main force of the army was trapped in Xin'an County was also sent to Baling. .

The next day, Xu Shiji's army invaded Ba County, and the news that Huang Shaoqiu's army was approaching Mingyang Mansion also reached Baling.

It was half a day later than the news from Berkshire. The news that the Nanzhao tribe had rebelled and had gathered 30,000 troops to attack Guiyang was also sent to Xiao Ju.

Liang Guo, the imperial palace, and the hall of discussion, there was deathly silence. The officials who had just arrived were shocked by the news one after another. soon.

So, apart from heavy panting, there was no sound in the hall.

Xiao Juan sat on the dragon chair with a very ugly expression on his face.

For Wang Junlin's attack on their Liang Kingdom, Xiao Ju had already made full preparations, such as mobilizing 200,000 troops in Xin'an County, just to defend against Wang Junlin's troops coming from Dongyang and Yangzhou in the east.

150,000 troops were mobilized in Berkshire to prevent Xu Shiji and Huang from taking over Sichuan and Sichuan.

Shaoqiu called from the north.

But who would have thought that a total of 350,000 horses plus the local county soldiers, a total of more than 400,000 horses in the two directions, would be so unbearable in front of Wang Junlin's army, even for a month. Even if they didn't stop them, they lost the city and lost the land, and they lost consecutive battles.

Forget it, even Nanhai County in the south is lost. Although he knew that Wang Junlin's navy was powerful, Xiao Ju never thought that Wang Junlin would send a navy to carry a legion of cavalry across the river. Thousands of miles of sea routes, attacking from the southernmost point.

And this is not over yet, the damned Nanzhao Six Clans actually rebelled at this time, Xiao Ju thought he was pretty good to the Nanzhao Six Clans, and he didn't insult them too much, at least during the Sui Dynasty!

But these **** Nanzhao monkeys suddenly rebelled at this time, if there is no shadow of Da'an, Xiao Ju would never believe it.

"Dear dears, now that my beam is at the point of life and death, how will you plan to come out?" Xiao Yu took a deep breath, suppressed the fear in his heart, swept his eyes to everyone in the hall, and asked solemnly.

Except for a few important ministers, everyone else bowed their heads.

But even these important ministers frowned, unable to speak for a while.

Obviously they don't have a good plan, or they can only mobilize the 200,000 elites from Baling City in the capital, but now that the enemy is blooming in all directions, the country has begun to be turbulent, and there is already a faintly besieged situation. With one hundred thousand elites moving, if one of the four directions is not defended, the enemy army will drive in, and the consequences will be disastrous.

In addition, there is another matter that Liang Guojun and his ministers did not take seriously before, but thinking about it now feels like a stab in the throat.

These days, several groups of bandits in the territory of Liang State, who were quite stable before, are ready to make a move. .

The most important thing is that these rebellious bandits are not far from Baling County, the capital of Liang Kingdom. Who knows if they will do anything crazy.

However, if you don't deploy troops to support the Quartet, and wait for the opponent's army to attack the city and plunder the land, and advance step by step, especially at the speed of losing the city and land, it will only be a matter of time before the country is destroyed.

Finally, Liang Guojun and his ministers discussed four ways to save the country.

First, send envoys to Datang to try to persuade Li Shimin to form an alliance with him, let Li Shimin do things behind, and contain the people of Da'an.

Second, envoys were sent to see Shen Faxing in Hangzhou and Lin Shihong in Yuzhang, and persuaded Shen Faxing and Lin Shihong to form an alliance to attack the Da'an Kingdom.

Third, send envoys to negotiate with the six tribes of Nanzhao. No matter what the price is, they must first agree to each other and hold back the Nanzhao monkeys.

Fourth, send envoys to recruit some rebel bandits in the country, and then fool them into using them for their own use, and use them as cannon fodder for Liang Guo to fight the army of Da'an.

The speed of Liang Guojun and his ministers was very fast, and the huge institutions of the court were also running at high speed. Many messengers set off at the first time, but Xiao Ju and his courtiers really did not have much confidence in the effect.

……

……

Yangzhou, Daan Empire, Imperial Palace, Dazheng Hall.

"Your Majesty, the general trend of attacking from all sides at the same time has come.

According to the latest news from Anzi from the Ministry of National Security, the entire state of Liang is already in turmoil. Many local aristocratic families and even some powerful families who are officials in the court have sent people to Yangzhou to secretly serve us. Da'an country. "

Wang Junlin was discussing with Du Ruhui, Fang Xuanling, Liu Ziming, Xu Jingzong, Pei Shiju, Yu Shiji and other important officials. At this time, it was the left minister Du Ruhui who was speaking.

Wang Junlin said with a smile: "This is what was expected. According to the previous practice, we will accept them one by one and give them some promises to reassure them. Get in touch with the family and forces, and give these people the opportunity to make meritorious deeds."

Du Ruhui immediately said respectfully: "I obey the order."

Fang Xuanling said again: "Your Majesty, the current situation, as far as Liang Guojun and ministers are concerned, must find a way to find foreign aid, but looking at the world, that is, Li Shimin from Tang Dynasty, Shen Faxing from Hangzhou, and Lin Shihong from Yuzhang. It must be guarded against."

Wang Junlin nodded slightly, agreed, and said lightly: "Fang Qing is right, but Guanzhong and Luoyang have Luo Shixin, Pei Yuanqing, Shangguan Hu, Zhou Hu, Wu San, and Wu Si staring at them, and Li Shimin dare not act rashly at all. , Burning his body, he only wants to close the door to recharge his energy, and then he will compete with me in a few years."

"On the contrary, Shen Faxing and Lin Shihong should not be underestimated. They each have 200,000 soldiers and horses. They have fought for many years, and they are still heroes. They must also know that after we destroy Liang Guo, it will be our turn. Most of them will agree to form an alliance with Liang Guo and do something to contain our army."

When Wang Junlin said this, he paused for a moment, and said again: "Now Yuchi Jingde has led the Tiger Army with 50,000 troops to occupy Nanhai County, and has received more than 10,000 soldiers. Therefore, there is no need for Gan Ziqi's 50,000 sailors to stay there any longer."

"Shen Faxing in Hangzhou and Lin Shihong in Yuzhang both have territory near the sea. In this case, pass an order to Gan Ziqi to wait for an opportunity to attack Shen Faxing and Lin Shihong's Linhai city in the East China Sea and South China Sea. Just keep these two forces in check."

………

………

Changsha County and Badong County of the State of Liang are now completely in chaos. The court of the State of Liang still controls half of the counties, and the rest is controlled by some powerful rebel bandits, the largest group of bandits The leader called himself a black dog because he captured Changsha County.

"General, what should we do next? Are there any new instructions?" At the head of Changsha County City, Heigou whispered to a few of his confidants around him, all of them looked indifferent , there was a shocking inexplicable chill deep in his eyes.

"Your Majesty has already established the country and proclaimed himself emperor. The person contacting us now is the people from the Guoan Mansion. There was news yesterday that the Emperor Xiao Juan of the Liang Kingdom will send envoys to summon us. Your Majesty means that we might as well accept it. Liang Guo's recruitment, and then he is waiting for the opportunity."

The black dog said lightly, and the others laughed and nodded in agreement.

They were one of the hundred groups of dead men sent by Nie Xiaoyu and Wang Junlin from Snake Island back then. There were ten of them at the time, and five are still alive today. More than ten thousand. The capture of this Changsha county city a few days ago was due to a group of people sneaking into the city in advance to act as a response, and kidnapped the county guard. With the help of the county guard who was afraid of death, they captured the county city.
