Chapter 714 Jianghuai Army
Jiangdu City in Jiangdu County is one of the three capitals of the Great Sui Dynasty.
In order to complete the grand strategy of connecting the north and south, Yang Guang built the Yongji Canal from Luoyang to Youjing, from Luoyang to Jiangdu, and from Tongji Canal. From Jiangdu to the east, he could go to the Yangtze River to the sea to Japan and Ryukyu. When he was in full swing, the rice, grain and salt ships from the Jianghuai River were like carp crossing the river, and were transported from Tongji Canal to Luoyang.
Yang Guang attaches great importance to Jiang. After he defeated Chen for King Jin, he comforted Jiang Yang and fell in love with the customs and customs of Jiangnan. In addition, his wife Empress Xiao was a native of the Southern Dynasty. After Yang Guang ascended the throne, he used Jiangnan scholars to balance the great power of the Guanlong family in the court.
However, Yang Guang failed to balance the final balance, and Jiangdu became the last place for him to die.
After Yu Wenhe killed Yang Guang, he abandoned Jiangdu City and led 100,000 Xiaoguo Army to the north, passing through Peng and Xuzhou, and then crossed the Yellow River, attacking Liyang City in an attempt to seize food and grass. In the end, Yu Wenhe was defeated by Li Mi.
After Yu Wenji left, Jiangdu was handed over to the right imperial guard general Chen Len. Chen Len was a famous general who fought with Zhang Zhenzhou to defeat the enemy country. However, after Yu Wenji left, Chen Len could not resist Li Zitong's offensive against Jiangdu and finally gave Jiangdu to Li Zitong.
After Li Zitong won Jiangdu, he was defeated by Du Fuwei. In the end, the most prosperous place in Jianghuai was now owned by Du Fuwei.
Now the gate of Jiangdu Water City is wide open. The warships of the Jianghuai Army are flying out of the water city in a row.
Du Fuwei wore a golden crown on the warship and looked at the rolling river water with a cold expression. The river wind stormed, causing the Jianghuai Army flags to fly behind him. In addition to letting Zuo Xianyou guard Jiangdu, all the generals of the Jianghuai Army were around him at this moment, and there were many powerful generals and advisers among them.
The left and right warships were loaded with 50,000 elite soldiers of the Jianghuai army. Du Fuwei's direct line was the Danyang soldiers, and the people of the Jianghuai army were very powerful. They were good at martial arts and warfare, and they were strong. Among them, the Danyang soldiers were called the powerful troops of the Jianghuai army. It is said that after Sun Quan pacified Shanyue, he chose his strong army as his army. At that time, the most of the Shanyue tribes lived in Danyang.
In addition to their direct troops, the boat and navy are also powerful brigades. This powerful brigade is the Dongyang army of Chen Len, the General of the Right Imperial Guard. This Dongyang army was the navy army that went on a thousand miles to destroy the country.
When Yang Guang conquered Liao, he ordered Chen Len to lead this Dongyang Navy to take charge of Donglai as a supporter. Later, Yang Xuangan rebelled, and Chen Len led the Dongyang Navy to conquer Li Yang and kill his general Yuan Wuben. After Chen Len was defeated by Li Zitong, he led his troops to join Du Fuwei. After Du Fuwei pretended to accept Chen Len, he killed the other party and took his troops. This Dongyang Navy also fell into Du Fuwei's hands.
Now that the two powerful troops are in hand, and Du Fuwei's recruitment camp, the main army of Jianghuai is now following him in the north.
Du Fuwei said to the left and right: "Where are the men of Zhang Shan'an, Zhang Zhenzhou and Wang Shibian?"
Wang Shibian was the younger brother of Wang Shichong, who was in charge of Peng and Xuzhou. After Wang Shichong defeated him, he surrendered to the Tang Dynasty and was granted the title of governor of Xuzhou by Li Yuan. As for Zhang Zhenzhou, he was a famous general who fought against Ryukyu with Chen Len. After Yang Guang was killed, he surrendered to Xiao Xian, who was defeated by Li Xiaogong. He also changed his flag to surrender to the Tang Dynasty and was now the general manager of Shuzhou.
Zhang Shan'an was born in a rebel army. He was the former subordinate of Meng Rang, and now he also surrendered Li Tang. He was the general manager of Hongzhou. This time, Li Yuan ordered Du Fuwei to send troops to attack Li Chongjiu, and sent these three generals to lead the troops to assist Du Fuwei.
After hearing Du Fuwei's inquiry, Fu Gongyou reported on the side: "It's approaching Donghai County and fought several battles with the Zhao army's Song Jingang tribe, but they were all small fights."
Du Fuwei heard the look of contempt appeared on his face and said, "The crowd is full of chaos!"
Fu Gongyou said: "I still have to take action from the Jianghuai Army. Without our army, only a few snails will be able to attack Donghai County in what year or month?"
Du Fuwei smiled and said, "Fu Bo is right. This time, Li Chongjiu led the main force to Luoyang to fight the main force of the Tang army. The two of them fought lively. If we, Mr. Du, don't make a fortune at this time, we, wouldn't be too sorry for ourselves. I have to settle the land in Shandong. Then Song Jingang's less than 20,000 troops are not in my eyes at all."
Fu Gongyou smiled and said, "This is the fisherman who is fighting against snipe and clam to gain profit."
Du Fuwei said: "We don't care about the Tang army's attack on the Tang army, and they will not obey our commands. But you immediately ordered Wang Hua and Wenren Sui'an to lead the troops to come as soon as possible and tell them to conquer Donghai County. Everyone has meat to eat. If they are one step late, or make excuses to quarrel with me, don't blame me, Du, for turning against me."
Du Fuwei's eyes showed fierce light, showing the ruthlessness of the Jianghuai hero.
At this moment, Du Fuwei's 50,000 Jianghuai troops traveled north along the Tongji Canal and Shanyangdu section of the waterway.
The Tongji Canal is divided into two sections. The upper section connects the Huai River from the Yellow River. This section was called Honggou in ancient times, which was the Honggou at the Chu River and Han boundary. It was excavated by King Hui of Wei during the Warring States Period.
The lower section is Shanyangdu, which connects the Yangtze River from the Huai River. Yangdu was named Hangou in ancient times. This was the earliest canal in China and was dug by King Fuchai of Wu. Hangou connected the Huai River with the Yangtze River. This was an amazing project at that time. The Huai River and the Yangtze River were all four rivers, all of which were large rivers into the sea. Hangou connected the two rivers in one fell swoop, allowing ships from the south of the Yangtze River to enter the Qingyu and Henan provinces.
In order to get rid of the identity of a barbarian country, Fuchai entered the Central Plains and Qi, and the Jin Dynasty competed for power, so he dug the Hangou to facilitate transportation. When Emperor Wen of Sui attacked Chen, in order to transport troops, he dredged the Hangou again. After Yang Guang ascended the throne, he opened the Yongji Canal, further unblocking the canal, allowing the upper and lower sections of the Tongji Canal to be completely connected.
Du Fuwei's 50,000 troops traveled north from Shanyangdu, passed Gaoyou, and entered the Huai River. Donghai County and Jiangdu County were bounded by the Huai River. At that time, Li Chongjiu and Du Fuwei secretly agreed that the two families would not invade each other with the Huai River. At present, Du Fuwei took the lead in tearing the face and led the elite Jianghuai troops to land in Shanyang and directly into the Donghai County.
Now Donghai County was originally the territory of Zang Junxiang. After Zang Junxiang was destroyed, he was taken into account by Zhao State.
Du Fuwei led his troops to come, taking advantage of the fact that the Zhao army had just captured Shandong and attacked him with unstable foothold. If the Zhao army had gained a firm foothold in Shandong, then Du Fuwei would not have taken the risk easily this time.
Du Fuwei ordered the navy to be stationed in Shanyang to guard against the upstream of the Huai River, and he led 40,000 infantry to land. At this time, the governor of Shezhou, Wang Hua, and Wenren, a powerful Kunshan tyrant, also led his army to meet Du Fuwei.
These two people were both powerful in Jianghuai. For Du Fuwei, Wenren Sui'an killed the other party's confidant Shen Faxing, and Wang Hua was a member of the Wang clan of Shezhou. He took advantage of the chaos at the end of the Sui Dynasty and occupied the land. At that time, the Han clan of Shezhou and the Shanyue people were in great conflict. After Wang Hua occupied Shezhou, he was able to lead the two clans to be together.
Later, Du Fu was powerful, and Wang Hua expressed his surrender to Du Fuwei and preserved the stability of the whole place. This person's strategy was also highly appreciated by Du Fuwei.
Now the soldiers of the Jianghuai River gathered together, and the soldiers pointed directly at Shandong. (To be continued, please search for Piaotianwen, the novel is better, updated and faster!
