After the Political Affairs Hall and the Criminal Department reported the current affairs, Luo Zhaoyun asked about the Ministry of War and the Privy Council, how many battles are currently in place, and the matter of garrisoning troops in Tuntian at the border pass, which is a matter of national defense strength and war, which is related to the life and death of the imperial court.

Qu Tutong, the secretary of the military department, stood up and said: "Back to Your Majesty, according to the latest battle report, Li Jing's army has just achieved a great victory in Jingmen Mountain, encircled and annihilated the Liang army in the Jingmen Mountain camp, Hou Junji has crossed the Yangtze River with his troops, the two armies converge in the north and south, the prestige is huge, and it has reached 150,000 troops, and now it has collected 30,000 surrendered troops, stationed in the area of the Qingjiang Estuary, waiting for the follow-up supply of grain and grass, and after repairing, it can march to the capital of Liang State. ”

"Jingmen Mountain Victory!" When Luo Zhaoyun heard the news, he showed a look of relief.

It is worthy of Li Jing, a master of the art of war in the Sui and Tang dynasties, and he still has a unique way of using soldiers, and he has been approaching Jiangling, the capital of Liang State, from west to east.

"Do you have any details about the use of soldiers?"

Qu Tutong replied succinctly: "On the letter, Chen Zuo first led his troops to cross the Qingjiang Estuary to attract the main force of the Liang Army's naval division, and then sent cavalry to log in from the downstream and attack the barracks on the shore, so that the naval division suffered from the enemy's back, and after taking the remaining troops at the Qingjiang Estuary, he cut off the rear supply route of the Liang army in Jingmen Mountain. Li Jing sent troops to surround on three sides, and sent a naval division to attack the ferry on the back of Jingmen Mountain, restraining each other's troops, and fighting a propaganda war at the same time. ”

Luo Zhaoyun nodded, he had a grasp of Xiao Liang's situation, according to this momentum, if he destroyed the Liang State, he might be able to do it within a year, as long as he smashed Huanglong and took Jiangling City, it would be almost enough, and the rest of the southern cities, lacking the control of the royal family, were like a plate of loose sand, and it was easy to sweep over.

It depends on the Lanling Xiao clan, whether there is still a killer weapon and hole cards, if it is based on the current combat strength, it is difficult to resist Li Jing's 150,000 army.

Luo Zhaoyun pondered for a moment and said: "The Privy Council is in the center to coordinate the household department, and it must meet the materials, grain and grass required by General Li Jing on the front line, and there must be no delay, delaying the military situation and fighter planes, and Weier and others will be held accountable. ”

"The minister understands!" Officials from the Privy Council, the Ministry of Households, and the Ministry of War all bowed in response.

"Xu Shiji led his troops south, where did he arrive?" Luo Zhaoyun asked about the progress of the other army going south.

Chen Qi, the deputy envoy of the Privy Council, stood up and said: "Your Majesty, according to the latest march report from Luoyang yesterday, Xu Shiji led 80,000 horses and horses to set off from Luoyang for three days and arrived in the Pengcheng area, where he reorganized the troops and horses, and recruited some new troops, and then entered the Huainan area to face to face with Du Fuwei. ”

"What is Duvowe's strength?" Luo Zhaoyun asked.

Chen Qi replied: "Back to Your Majesty, Du Fuwei used 150,000 troops, known as 200,000, and had territory in Huainan and Jiangzuo, and had the greatest momentum in the south. Last year, the imperial court was busy fighting with Li Tang and had no time to look south, so in the Huainan and Jiangzuo areas, these four teams were often competing. ”

However, Fu Gongtuo was separated from Du Fuwei's account, Shen Faxing and Du Fuwei were also old friends, and only Li Zitong was an opponent with these three teams. Two months ago, Li Zitong led his troops to attack Shen Faxing's Wu County, and the team was already strong, but it was defeated and retreated by Wang Xiongdan, the general sent by Du Fuwei, so at present, Li Zitong has shrunk into the eastern corner of the Jiangdong and is no longer able to compete with Du Fuwei's team. ”

After Luo Zhaoyun heard this, he pondered, Du Fuwei's prestige is great, can Xu Shiji defeat them?

Although he has a certain degree of confidence in Xu Shiji, and knows that he will inevitably become the main general of Dahua in the future, after all, Xu Shiji is still young and has not had enough experience.

Other ministers of the DPRK and China are also concerned about this, and some imperial historians have already come forward to express their opinions.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Xu Shiji was born in a poor family, standing in Wagang, a reckless general, before attacking Jinyang, he did not have the experience of leading the army alone, even if he was a general under Li Mi's account, he was stationed in Liyang Cang, instead of charging into battle, and Wang Shichong led the troops head-on, therefore, the minister felt that it was a little inappropriate to use Xu Shiji as the commander of the first army alone to pacify Du Fuwei, Shen Faxing, and Fugongtuo in Huainan Jiangdong."

"Soldiers, the major affairs of the country, Xu Shiji's reputation is not known, his qualifications are not enough, and it is indeed worrying that one person is handsome at present, and it is safe enough to send all the old generals to sit in the town."

"The minister also agreed, and then sent the generals and supervisors to Huainan to supervise the war."

Some people from the Yushitai, the Criminal Department, and the Hanlin Academy all stood up and opposed Xu Shiji's entry into Huainan to fight Du Fuwei on behalf of Xu Shiji, and they all thought that he was not qualified enough, and compared with Du Fuwei's fame, he was much inferior.

Luo Zhaoyun swept the ranks of military generals, and above the court, there were old generals such as Lai Hu'er, Qu Tutong, and Chen Qi, but they all hung up their posts in the Privy Council and the Ministry of War, and they were too old to be easily unsuitable for appointing expeditions.

Pondering and leaning less, Luo Zhaoyun's mind suddenly surged with the idea of the imperial conquest, this time it may be the last big battle to pacify the world, solve Huainan and Jiangdong, and get the rich land of Jiangnan, so as to connect the old land of Wuyue and completely divide the southeast coast into his own rivers and mountains.

Another reason was his intention to establish shipyards, naval divisions, and naval divisions along the coast, and the beginning of the establishment of maritime trade and navigation in the new trading cities and maritime surveillance bureaus.

Guanzhong has been in for a year, Luoyang has also been stable, the north can be said to be his territory, but the south, since returning to the Sui and Tang Dynasties, he has not been there, Yang Guang went to Jiangdu, he did not follow, this time through Luoyang, and then south to Jiangdu, not only for the purpose of conquest, pacification of the south, but also an investigation of Jiangnan, to appease the local people, to get more support and support from the south.
