Chapter 983 Return to the State Camp

The army led by Li Jing was stationed in Daying outside Guizhou City. From Guizhou in Yiling County to Ba County, there were several counties and more than ten Chengyi in hundreds of miles, all swept by Li Jing with the momentum of the autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves.

Nowadays, all the prefectures and counties along the Yangtze River have been conquered by Li Jing. This is his strategy. From west to east, along the Yangtze River coastline, the navy and cavalry and infantry marched together, heading east along the river, with unstoppable momentum.

Qingjiang County, Badong County, and Yiling County have been appeased, and their next target is Nanjun Xiazhou City. As long as it is taken down, the eastern gate of Jiangling will be completely demolished. If Liang State and others go to one-third of the territory, the west will be completely destroyed. Only the east and south and the remote areas in the southwest are still under their jurisdiction.

In fact, the Liang State seems to have a large territory, and many of them are superficially dependent and governed. In fact, in the southwest area, the Nanling area, etc., they are all local chieftains and tribal management, and no rebel army has been called kings. Therefore, the city lords of all cities all expressed their dependence on the nearest Liang State to protect themselves.

However, the Xiaoliang regime was just two years old, and it was far less than Dahua. It implemented new policies and regulations, and intensively operated the state machine, and re-appointed local officials in the jurisdiction. It was very easy to control it. However, the Xiaoliang court did not issue policies in detail and did not have enough talents to appoint localities. Therefore, many counties seemed to be the territory of the Liang State, but in fact they were just named.

Guizhou Daying.

Li Jing received the imperial edict, with His Majesty's holy intention, and dispatched Hou Jun to gather tens of thousands of troops to reinforce, attacked Jiangling, the capital of Liang from Jiangbei, cooperated with cooperation to accelerate the elimination of Liang.

"Your Majesty is indeed very talented. More than 100,000 infantry and cavalry have defeated twice the Turkic army and stabilized the northwestern border. Now only the Jiangnan area has not been settled. It seems that I have to speed up the deployment." Li Jing sighed with a little emotion. When he met Luo Zhaoyun in Chang'an City, he never expected that the young man would be able to turn his hands and turn his hands into rain in the chaos in the future.

After hearing this, several generals seemed excited.

Xue Wanbei comforted his hands and said, "After the increase in troops, we will attack each other in a row, and we will be able to capture Jiangling City this year. Next year, we will occupy the states of Liang Kingdom in the south and complete the important tasks entrusted by the court."

"When it should be!"

Li Jing looked calm and his mood was not revealed, and he said, "Xiazhou City is easy to defend but difficult to attack. It is a hard bone when it is leaning against the river and the mountains are blocked by mountains. However, we have been planning for many days. Scouts and meticulous workers have successively entered the city, and have arranged many people. They have instigated several commanders and lieutenants to cooperate with us. Once this city is taken down, Jiangling will be in front of us."

"Haha, King Liang Xiao Xian is probably afraid now. His troops have not yet come to serve the king. There are already differences within it and it is difficult to compete with our Dahua army."

Li Jing sighed: "The two countries have many factors to compete, including national strength, food and grass, soldiers, generals, the trust of the king, the unity of the court, etc., all of which have a great influence. You have also seen that the Liang Kingdom is now a mess, which is related to their unstable establishment. Although Xiao Xian is a descendant of the Lanling royal family and some talented women, he is not a direct royal family member, nor does he have a real talent for governing the country. Although he runs a consortium and has some good reputation in the Xiaoliang area, compared with our Majesty, he is also a fancy move and looks at it but is not useful. Suddenly, he established a country and mastered such a large territory. However, he did not study politics and law carefully, and still supports the society according to business."

"The people who have been surrounded by him have gained benefits. The people who surrendered do not trust and have deep suspicion. Moreover, they have no experience in military management. They have actually wanted to deprive the generals of their military power. Some generals stationed in various places have gradually become dissatisfied with the court. Last year, we sent scouts to spread news and use discord to make plans to target this."

"What the general said!" The deputy generals all nodded, showing admiration.

Li Jing not only used troops to marches and arrange formations, but also was proficient in scouting. He paid attention to the military plan and sent out detailed operations to mingle into the enemy city to rebel, or destroy, spread news of discord, etc., to disintegrate the enemy's combat power. Therefore, the advancement eastward was quite smooth and there were not many soldiers."

A strategist wearing a round neck robe smiled and said, "According to the latest news from the spy, Dong Jingzhen's younger brother Dong Jingyi was extremely dissatisfied with Xiao Xian's disguised weakening of the generals. He gathered together and complained. The general had to send a detailed work to mingle into Jiangling City and began to spread the news, claiming that Dong Jingyi and others planned to rebel. In this way, if we were not allowed to take action, the conflict between Xiao Xian and Dong Jingyi was aggravated. At that time, no matter whether Dong Jingyi wanted to start a rebellion or not, they would be forced into a desperate situation. As long as the court had suspicious actions and turbulent movements, Dong Jingyi and others would be scared. If they did not rebel, they would have to rebel. No matter who wins, they would have a fatal blow to Liang State. At that time, we could surrender Dong Jingzhen, who was guarding Changsha, and the generals of other state governors, and they could take down many cities without much military force."

When many generals heard this, they felt a little cold all over and knew that this plan was very good, but it was also very vicious. Those who were generals were most afraid and taboo, that was the suspicion of the king, did not die on the battlefield, and were finally killed by the court with an order. This was the most shameful and innocent.

Therefore, as soon as the counselor's vicious plan was released, the generals were all silent, and they felt sad.

Li Jing's face was deep, and he did not express his opinion immediately or showed joy. He also knew that this plan was very good, but it was a bit vicious. As an experienced general, he could not show any enthusiasm for this conspiracy. Therefore, although he accepted this opinion in his heart, he did not agree immediately and planned to execute it privately.

He changed the topic and said, "I will consider it. But now the food and grass and military preparation are the top priority. The army's food and grass will be empty in half a month. According to the instructions of His Majesty, the food and grass will be collected by Bashu, and will be successively passed through the Han River, the Minjiang River enters the Yangtze River, and then supplied. In this way, it will take at least twenty days to transport the first wave of food and grass. In this vacant day, we need to find a way to send people to collect grain in the conquered city, and temporarily requisition the granary warehouses in those cities. As for money, two-fifths are taken as military supplies and used for purchases, leaving three-fifths of the stock, so that the garrison will be kept in good hands, and left to the garrison and county magistrates who are in charge, and handed over to the court. We must not loot without authorization. Those who violate the order shall be dealt with by military law."

"We understand!" The generals stood up and bowed.
