"So, Quanzhou City was taken just like that?"

On the first day of April, Changsha City was still a bit chilly and cold. Li Jia put on a fur coat and sat in a pavilion in the middle of the lake where dew could be seen, enjoying the sunshine and fishing.

Several eunuchs held their breath and held fruits and tea, cautiously for fear of disturbing the emperor's mood.

On the side, Wang Ning, the minister of the Military Aircraft Department, and Wu Qing, the commander of the Sound Department, who came in a hurry, stood quietly and spoke softly.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Wang Xianggong said happily: "According to the plan of the Military Aircraft Department, the Acoustics Department cooperated and borrowed a boat to break into Quanzhou, and then captured Chen Hongjin, Liu Shaoci and others in one fell swoop, but Chen Hongjin

, leaving two people to flee, and only occupied Quanzhou City."

"Chen Hongjin led the Qingyuan Army to attack the city with tens of thousands of people, and the city was not at peace, making it difficult to maintain. However, the Qingyuan Army and their families were all in the city. Chen Bing tied their family members to the city. In just half an hour, the Qingyuan Army could not

The battle is over!"

At the end of the sentence, Mr. Wang couldn't help but stroke his beard and laughed.

"The Qingyuan Army is completely destroyed!" Li Jia held the fishing rod in his hand, shook his head and sighed: "Peace has lasted for so long, and I don't even know how to deal with this kind of formation."

"A few family members, gritting their teeth and working hard, can take over the city. It won't be too late to take revenge when the time comes. It would be a bad idea to collapse without fighting!"

"What your Majesty said is absolutely true!" Wang Ning nodded in agreement: "But, this time and the other time!"

"Liu Congxiao has just passed away, and Chen Hongjin has not yet completely controlled the Qingyuan Army. If those generals make a fuss, it will only be easy to take his head!"

"That's right, you can't just take it lightly!" Li Jia looked at the calm and rippled lake surface, abandoned the fishing rod rather impatiently, and threw in some fish food to attract the attention of the fish.

Although the lake is small, there are many fish, and they are fat and strong. Ordinary fishing rods cannot do anything to them. Li Jia had nothing to do, so he started fishing and kept feeding them. They grew so plump that it would be a pity not to eat them.

"The only things that the Qingyuan Army focuses on are Quanzhou City and Zhangzhou City. Now that Quanzhou has been conquered, what about Zhangzhou?"

"In order to avoid alerting the enemy, we launched the attack on the same day. The brothers lurking in the city joined the army outside the city and easily captured the city gate, and Zhangzhou was in control."

Wu Qing smiled faintly and said, in this siege, their archery department put in a lot of effort, which was of great effect, and the credit cannot be erased.

"Let Huang Yang defend Zhangzhou City well, and after the army has rested for a while, according to the established strategy, they will immediately attack Tingzhou to catch him off guard!"

Huang Yang was a general of the Forbidden Army in the Southern Han Dynasty, and he was also an eunuch. It is said that the senior officers of the Forbidden Army at that time were all eunuchs, so in addition to their rich experience, Li Jia was also extremely confident in using them on this point.

.

After all, the possibility of rebellion is too low.

Therefore, after Li Wei, Li Xin, Pan Chongche and others left the imperial army to guard the place, this person served as the guard general of Lingdong Mansion. Then, according to the dispatch of the Military Aircraft Department, he secretly dispatched troops and generals near Chaozhou, which is close to Zhangzhou.

Wait for the opportunity.

But this time, the opportunity came to capture Zhangzhou City by surprise, and then set its sights on Tingzhou.

In this operation, the Qingyuan Army alone might not be able to mobilize the troops of the Southern Tang Dynasty. After all, the finances were not sufficient, and they had lost troops and generals year after year. It would be difficult to mobilize the army again.

Moreover, Li Yu has a relatively weak character and is very talkative, but hesitant in his actions.

Therefore, adding Tingzhou will definitely enable the Southern Tang Dynasty to send troops southward.

"General Huang has outstanding abilities. It is not difficult to capture Tingzhou, but it is very difficult to defend it. Tingzhou has been in the puppet country for more than ten years, and the people have already surrendered. However, our soldiers are not familiar with the place, and it is difficult to use the people's hearts. With the army alone, it is

It is difficult to resist his soldiers."

Mr. Wang frowned and said in a deep voice.

"Don't take Tingzhou too seriously. This is just a bait to scare the tigers. It's important to defend Zhangzhou!" Li Jia said:

"The Ordnance Department must ensure the consumption of the army, and the Military Aircraft Department must coordinate the distribution of baggage!"

"promise--"

…………

In April in southern Fujian, the sky is still clear and the scenery is green and red, making it an alluring scenery.

But Chen Hongjin had many thoughts on his mind. He sat on the donkey cart and looked up at the sky with an expressionless face.

Surrounding him were a group of dusty troops who had followed him out of Quanzhou.

On the other side, hundreds of disheveled soldiers sat dejectedly. They had escaped from Zhangzhou and were about to march to Quanzhou. As a result, the two groups met and bumped into each other.

"Commander Commander, our Zhangzhou City has been wronged." Commander Liu Wei sighed and sat on the grass, dressed in rags, as if he were a beggar.

Looking at Chen Hongjin's appearance, although he was dissatisfied in his heart, he could only bite the bullet and said: "We have tens of thousands of people scattered in various counties. There are only four to five thousand people in Zhangzhou City."

"And there are also internal thieves who set fire to the city at night to divert our attention, and then suddenly took over the city, as fast as lightning."

"There are so many soldiers in Zhangzhou City, what were you doing at that time?" Chen Hongjin asked.

"The last general, the last general is leading people to destroy the country, so that thieves can take advantage of it."

Liu Wei looked at Chen Hongjin, then at the young Jiedu envoy, and suddenly knelt down and cried: "The general will be loyal to the commander-in-chief..."

"Okay, I understand!" Chen Hongjin spit, stood up, and took a look at the green trees.

At this time, aren't they just like a group of lost dogs? The prosperous and bustling Quanzhou and Zhangzhou no longer have a place for him. What can they do with these more than a thousand people? They can be wiped out easily.

For the current plan, we can only survive by getting out of trouble.

"Let's go to Tingzhou!" Chen Hongjin immediately said energetically: "There are thousands of Tang troops in Tingzhou. We can borrow troops to suppress the bandits. How can some Lingnan thieves be the opponents of the Tang Dynasty?"

As soon as the words came out, everyone was instantly shocked.

That's right! The Tang Dynasty was the overlord of the Southern Kingdom, and its military power should not be underestimated. Although it was often defeated by the Central Plains, its status could not be concealed.

He defeated Chu, divided Fujian, suppressed Wu and Yue, and became strong.

Seeing that his morale had finally recovered, Chen Hongjin sighed secretly. Without these troops, his family would not be able to survive.

The Tang Dynasty became their hope for recovery.

Tingzhou was originally owned by the State of Fujian. Later, the State of Fujian was divided. The Southern Tang Dynasty occupied Jianzhou and Tingzhou, and Jianzhou was separated from Jianzhou.

Tingzhou is located at the southern foot of the Wuyi Mountains, adjacent to Lingnan to the south and Jiangxi to the west. It is the hub of ancient roads and border crossings in the three provinces of Fujian, Guangdong and Jiangxi, and is known as the "Western Gate of Fujian".
