Chapter 89 The east wind crosses the river and spring is not too late, Jingnan is in trouble, and the north returns

Today, a guest came to the Qin Palace, she got off the carriage outside the corner gate, and went straight to the inner house, the servants and maids in the house, from afar and near, saw this noble lady who entered the Qin Palace's mansion to follow up her own door, and the reaction was surprisingly unanimous, and they all bowed down and saluted, and said "Her Royal Highness the Princess".

The person who came was none other than Princess Yongning of the Empire.

When Li Yongning saw Ren Wanru, the latter was teasing the children in the courtyard, and the sun was comfortable on a March day, so he took off his brocade hat and ermine fur, changed into light clothes, and it was the right time to play. Seeing Li Yongning, Ren Wanru leaned over with a smile and asked her to hug her.

Picking up the one-year-old Zheng'er, Li Yongning, who was facing the sky, freed up a hand to stop Ren Wanru, who was about to salute, while teasing the babbling child in his arms, and said to Ren Wanru: "What do you want so many politeness between you and me, I told you a long time ago, you are good at everything, but you are too formal." ”

Ren Wanru smiled gently, there was a rattan chair in the courtyard, she beckoned Li Yongning to sit down, the latter saw that she was melancholy between her eyebrows, although she forced a smile and couldn't hide the past, she couldn't help but sigh slightly, handed Zheng'er to the maid, took Ren Wanru's hand and said, "Still worried about Congjing?" ”

Ren Wanru smiled and said, "Your Highness has always been unfavorable when he goes on an expedition, and there is no need for others to worry about it. ”

"You're holding your breath." Li Yongning glanced at Ren Wanru, and then realized that Ren Wanru was afraid that he couldn't help but say this, so he didn't know what to say, so he could only blame Li Congjing, "This guy has always known that he is reckless and has never cared about the feelings of others, but now he is a dignified prince, and he still can't change his love for risking his life, which makes people worry, and it really makes people don't know what to say about him!" ”

Ren Wanru knew that Li Yongning was comforting her, although she appreciated it, she had to defend her husband and monarch, "Your Royal Highness said that danger is always equal to harvest, and said that it will be the courage of the army, and at that time, the three armies were encouraged to be vigorous, and also said that the Han and Tang dynasties were heroic and the spirit of the country"

"Alright, alright, stop!" Li Yongning had a headache for a while, raised his hands in surrender, and his face was full of "I obeyed you".

Ren Wanru smiled, no longer compared with Li Yongning, just when the tea came up, she beckoned the other party to drink tea.

"I sent my righteous son at the palace gate to wait for news from Jingnan, once it is transmitted back from Jing Youxin, you and I will know immediately." Li Yongning picked up the tea bowl.

"My sister is thoughtful." Ren Wanru had also thought about this, but she was the princess of Qin, but it was not good for her to act like this, but she didn't expect Li Yongning to have no scruples, and what did she think of, Ren Wanru asked: "Is it the noble waiting?" ”

Li Yongning nodded, "It's Shi Chonggui's kid." After saying that, he added: "I didn't plan to call him about this at first, but I don't know where he heard about it, and he took the initiative to ask me to take on this errand."

Many years ago, Ren Wanru rescued a pair of brothers and sisters who almost starved to death on the side of the road in Youzhou, and later the pair of brothers and sisters went to Luoyang, and the girl called Heya was left by Cao's side, and the boy was thrown to Shi Jingjiao by Li Siyuan as a righteous son, and Shi Jingzhen named him Shi Chonggui.

Before Li Yongning finished speaking, a young man who had not yet reached the crown ran like a gust of wind, and shouted at Li Yongning at the moon gate: "Your Highness has pacified Jingnan, and His Royal Highness King Qin has pacified Jingnan!" ”

With two snaps, the tea bowl in the hands of Ren Wanru and Li Yongning slipped from their hands and fell to the ground.

The two of them came back to their senses, and they didn't plan to hide anything, and Li Yongning even asked, "How is King Jing Qin?" Is it okay? ”

"Jiangling dedicated the city, His Royal Highness King Qin won Jingzhou without blood, and now he is presiding over all the affairs of Jingnan!" Shi Chonggui, who came to report the news, looked excited and excited, held his head high, and looked honored.

After Liu Xun led the Xiangzhou army to Jiangling, the next day, Guo Wei also arrived in Jingzhou. The latter sent troops in the direction of Kui, Gui, and Gorge, and before Gao Jixing's order to give up resistance was conveyed to Kuizhou, Guo Wei had already captured Kuizhou by surprise attack, and was on his way back from the campaign.

has been the master of the gentleman's capital for many years, Guo Wei used to lead the gentleman to travel and attack for long distances, so he gradually developed a style of using soldiers as fast as the wind and aggression as fire. This time, although there were not many Fangzhou troops led by him, they marched all the way and attacked by surprise, and before the garrisons in Kuizhou could react, he had already approached the city, so he was able to sweep the entire territory of Kuizhou with a small number of elites, and further forced to return to the state.

When talking to Guo Wei, Li learned from Jing Fang that the strategy of this guy's use of troops turned out to be that the elite was sweeping the land and opening the way in the front, and always maintained an indomitable momentum, just seeking to break the enemy quickly, and as for the rear, it was lost to the rear army that followed up for digestion.

As for the two fatal problems of such a battle: supply and wounded, Guo Wei's solution was to "give food to the enemy", and the wounded were placed on the spot and waited for backup. In this way, it seems that the wounded cannot be properly handled, but in fact, the absolute battle damage is not large, because there are very few fierce battles, and the elite of the strikers break the enemy, and most of them win by surprise.

As for the attrition of the war, Guo Wei drew capable replenishments from the defeated army - because the absolute number was not large, and the war was urgent, the newly replenished soldiers were like being swept into a very fast torrent, and there was no other chance to react except to fight with the current. And when these new pawns eased up, they had already gone through several battles at that time, and they were really assimilated and integrated with the Fangzhou army!

In Guo Wei's original plan, after the night attack on the city of Zhouzhou, he planned to go down the river to Yiling, the city of Zhouzhou, and then break through Yiling City, and then go down the river to support Li Congjing! Yes, when Gao Jixing's order to give up resistance arrived at Guizhou, the Guizhou defenders were still in the clouds, and when the Guizhou defenders opened the city gate after dawn, they found that Guo Wei had taken the elite of the Fangzhou army and was already waiting for him outside the city to open the door and surrender!

After listening to Guo Wei's narration, Li Congjing sighed, except for praising him as a "genius", he really couldn't find any other words to describe such a crazy move.

However, this also gave Li Congjing some inspiration, he immediately took out a map of Shu, studied it carefully with Guo Wei, and asked Guo Wei to explain in detail how he could use similar tactics to obtain unexpected military results if he was allowed to attack Shu from the southeast.

The two talked about it for a day and a night, and it was a shame that this map was not very detailed, otherwise the war deduction between the two would be refined, and there would really be no problem at all in discussing it for three days and three nights.

Jingzhou is the bridgehead for guarding against and marching into Hunan and Wu, Li Congjing has planned to suggest that Li Siyuan let Ma Huaiyuan serve as the envoy of Jiedu and the prime minister, while the military commanders of Kui, Zhong, Wan and other prefectures are responsible for the heavy task of marching into Shu in the future.

After discussing everything with Guo Wei, Li Congjing was about to go back to his residence to rest, but as soon as he went out, he saw Lin Ying kneeling in front of the door, and when he looked up, he could see that his eyes were bloodshot.

This time the battle of Jingnan, Guo Wei in the west made rapid progress, Kekui Prefecture and returned to the state in the middle of the day, Ma Huaiyuan in the east fought in Shishou, and insisted on not retreating in the face of several times the Wu army, which won valuable time for Li Congjing to take Jiangling, but Lin Yingqi failed to attack Changlin, but was blocked outside the city for several days, delayed a lot of time, and finally even needed to inspect Wang Pu, who was in Xiangzhou for spring ploughing, rushed to enter the city alone to persuade Changlin to surrender the guards, which allowed him to continue to go south.

All sides won, but Lin Ying was defeated, and this is the reason why he was guilty.

Since the Xiangzhou army arrived in Jiangling, Li Congjing first met with Ma Huaiyuan, and then met with Guo Wei, but he did not go out during the period, but he turned a blind eye to Lin Ying every time, and stopped in front of Lin Ying, and said lightly: "General Lin, what are you doing?" ”

Lin Ying grabbed the ground with his head and wept bitterly, "The last general fought ineffectively, so that the army missed the deadline, and almost missed His Highness's plan, the crime deserves death, please punish His Highness!" ”

Li Congjing said coldly: "The general's conquest is unfavorable, and he has his own military law to deal with it, General Lin only needs to wait in the camp, why bother to come to Lone." ”

"The last general knows that his sins are not forgiven, and now he has no other intention to treat His Royal Highness with shame, only to ask His Highness to be kind to the last general to stay in the Junzi Capital, even if it is a horseman, the last general is grateful!" Lin Ying gritted his teeth and said.

Li Congjing snorted coldly and walked past Lin Ying's side, without agreeing to the other party.

Guo Wei saw that Li Congjing was resolute, and it was not easy to persuade him, and he knew the military law very well, no matter what Lin Ying's disadvantage was a fact, when he passed by Lin Ying's side, he could only sigh and pat the other party's shoulder for comfort.

"Your Highness," Lin Ying shouted in pain behind him.

Keeping up with Li Congjing, Guo Wei still couldn't hold back after all, and asked, "Your Highness, Lin Ying"

Li Congjing waved his hand and signaled Guo Wei not to say much, "Since the night attack on Changhe and the gentlemen have set up their flags, they have almost been invincible and invincible, and the soldiers will inevitably have a lot of arrogance. In the past, when I was in Youzhou, this trend was not obvious, but now the situation is different, and this trend is growing. The reason why Lin Ying had the setback of Changlin was that he was defeated because he was self-conscious and careless about the enemy. If the jade is not cut, it is time to knock and carve. ”

Guo Wei was awe-inspiring and didn't dare to say more.

The matter of Jingnan is gradually coming to an end, not long after Li Congjing returned to Jiangling from Shishou, that is, in the middle of March, the aftermath officials sent by the imperial court arrived one after another, and the Qin Wangfu handed over all the affairs, and Li Congjing was ready to return to Luoyang, when Gao Jixing and his son, Xu Zhihe and others, and loaded with hundreds of carts of goods, will set off together.

Li Siyuan issued an edict, changing the Jingnan Jiedu envoy to the Jingzhou Jiedu envoy, governing the land of Jingzhou and a state, with Ma Huaiyuan as the Jiedu envoy, Gui and Xiazhou as the states directly under the imperial court, and the officials directly appointed the assassin from the center, and the other three states of Kui, Wan, and Zhong placed the Wanzhou defense envoy, and Guo Wei served as the first - it may also be the only defense envoy.

The imperial court's treatment of Jingzhou and other places was in line with the current new policy of the empire. If it weren't for the plan to send troops to Shu in the future, there would not even be a defense envoy from Wanzhou.

In addition, Lin Ying was dismissed from his post and investigated due to the unfavorable battle, and Lin Xiong replaced the commander of Junzidu.

By the time she returned, the fifth girl had largely recovered from her injuries and was able to ride her horse on horseback. Unlike her, Lin Anxin, the head of the Tsing Yi Yamen who was seriously injured in the battle that night, still looked sick.

By the last day of staying in Jiangling, Li Congjing took everyone out of the city to play, at this time it was already full of rich spring, flowers were in full bloom, and the river breeze was also cool but not cool.

Fifth, after hearing Li Congjing's words, his head shook like a rattle, and he rejected Li Congjing's kindness without thinking about it, which made Li Congjing quite puzzled, and he persuaded: "After returning to Luoyang this time, the head of Taoda will also resign from the military intelligence department, take this opportunity, you will also get out of the military intelligence department, and you will not have to make any more dangers and fights in the future, and live a life in An'an, isn't it a good thing?" ”

The fifth was unmoved when he heard this, puffed up his chest and said, "Sister Tao, that's old, I'm still young!" ”

Li Congjing had a black line, "If she hears this, she has to pick your skin!" ”

The fifth giggled out loud, the small body on horseback was in full bloom in front of Jiang Tao, "Anyway, the days of embroidering and playing the piano in the boudoir are not suitable for me, I don't want that!" ”

Li Congjing still didn't give up, and said in a rare way: "You have been in the military intelligence department for five years, and the merits you have made are enough for the future, and now, you are no longer the little lady who was at a loss for the beginning, no one dares to have any thoughts about you, tell Gu, why do you insist on fighting?" ”

Thinking of the past, there was an indescribable halo on the fifth little face, she suddenly looked at Li Congjing seriously, her crystal clear eyes were pitiful, "Since His Highness saved me in the blood and fire of Changhe, since I beat my hand and held the knife, I am destined to fight for His Highness in this life." Your Highness, be your warrior, fight with you, go through successes and failures together, until you die in battle or grow old, this is me! ”

After saying these words, which took great courage to speak, the fifth girl bowed her head shyly, smacked softly, and galloped away.

Li Congjing froze in place, looking at the back of the fifth far, forgetting to make a move for a long time, until the river breeze ruffled his long hair.

However, no matter how messy Li Congjing's long hair is, he can't catch up with Taoyao, the latter stepped on the horse and walked over leisurely, looked at the fifth glance who fled in embarrassment, and looked at Li Congjing with suspicious eyes, and said quietly: "This little girl has been quite abnormal since she woke up, but what's going on?" ”

"This time, I finally caught Xu Zhihe in the hands of the Tsing Yi Yamen, which is a shame, and it is normal to hear that you are going to resign, and it is normal for your mood to change a little." Li Congjing is talking nonsense.

It's strange that Tao Yao believes this nonsense.

"After leaving MI, I'll think of a place for you." Li Congjing changed the topic and pretended to be mysterious, "You may be able to guess?" ”

Tao Yaoyao sniffed at it, and leaned at Li Congjing and said, "I don't know how many chess pieces you have in your hand?" I don't have to guess at all, I also know, you plan to let me go to the Martial Arts Academy to be a gentleman, yes or no? ”

The Military Intelligence Department will be set up in the Martial Arts Academy, and the Military Intelligence Department will also surface to a certain extent in the future, and it is not a matter to always hide it, Li Congjing rubbed his eyebrows, "It's really tiring to deal with smart women." ”

Tao Yaoyao pouted, "Compared to these, I'm very curious, Lin Anxin, this woman, what are you going to do?" Do you want to let her go back to Yang Wu with Xu Zhihe and Song Qiqiu? ”

"Yang Wu wants to redeem Xu Zhihe and Song Qiqiu, it is not feasible to have less sincerity, and the same is true for Lin Anxin, as long as Xu Zhihe is willing to bleed and the price is right, why not sell it back to him?"
