Qinzhou was called Anzhou in ancient times.

During the Southern and Northern Dynasties, Song Shou County was established, and Nanliang was changed to Anzhou. In the 18th year of Kaihuang in the Sui Dynasty, Anzhou was changed to Qinzhou, and the meaning of Qinshun was adopted. In the fifth year of Wude in the Tang Dynasty, Ningyue County was changed to Qinzhou General Administration, and in the first year of Zhenguan, it was changed to Huiqinzhou.

Qinzhou Bay is also the most convenient seaport in the southwest.

The Ning family, the three chief commanders in Lingnan, has its base for a century in Qinzhou.

Qinzhou is adjacent to Yongzhou, Guangxi Road Prefecture, the south is adjacent to the sea, and the southwest is Jiaozhou.

The southwest of May is the season for southeastern trade winds and rainy seasons.

North of Qinzhou, Jiangzhou.

The Ning family's troops besieged Jiangzhou.

Jiangzhou was originally a state divided into Hepu County. It was not big, but it was stuck between Qinlian and Luobai Prefectures.

Ning Changzhen, the governor of Qinzhou, Ning Chun, the governor of Lianzhou, and Ning Daoming, the governor of Yuezhou, are both from the Ning clan of Qinzhou.

The territory of Gaozhou Governor Feng Xuan and Tan Dian are on the east side of Jiangzhou.

When they captured Jiangzhou, several rebels broke up with one army.

The rebels marched on the muddy ground, with heavy rain and strong winds on their heads.

Thousands of rain hit my face, as if a big hole had been broken into the sky.

Ning Changzhen raised his head, and the big raindrop hit his face, which made him feel a little painful. He cursed in his heart that the ghost weather was endless. The continuous rain made the attack much more difficult.

The bowstrings were no longer used, and the arrows were soft after the strings were put on. Moreover, the rain left the camping places without water and mud everywhere, and it was difficult to make fire, so there was no dry gauze on the body.

"Feng Xuan and Tan Temple have worked together to capture Nanyue Prefecture, but we still haven't even taken down Jiangzhou."

Nanyue Prefecture is located on the east side of Jiangzhou, on the north side of Lianzhou and on the west side of Baizhou.

In the fifth year of Wude, the county was changed into a prefecture, and the Hepu County was divided into three prefectures, Yuezhou, Nanhezhou and Jiangzhou. At the end of the Sui Dynasty, the prefect of Hepu County was Ning Xuan, and also the Ning clan of Qinzhou. His son served as the governor of Nanhezhou.

"This damn Ning Chun."

Ning Changzhen looked at the city and cursed. Dingxuan was his uncle and Ning Chun was his cousin. But this time, Ning Xuan was so angry that he refused to respond. Ning Changzhen was angry and attacked Jiangzhou. Ning Xuan refused to defend the city. Ning Chun came to help from Nanhezhou.

This rebellion against the Tang Dynasty first became an internal struggle of the Ning family.

The head of the Ning clan, Ning Changzhen, the governor of Qinzhou, fought against Ning Xuan, the governor of Jiangzhou, and his son Ning Chun, the governor of Nanhezhou, with his nephew, Ning Daoming.

Ning Changzhen, as the head of the Ning clan of Qinzhou, was not a second-generation ancestor who was established. In his early years, he followed his father Ning Mengli, uncle Ning Xuan and others to conquer various Liya tribes in the Qinzhou area, explored local areas, established county seats, and incorporated many Liya into their ancestral homes and became citizens.

Later, Ning Changzhen followed the Sui generals to conquer Linyi in the south, and defeated Linyi and returned. He followed Yang Guangdong to conquer Liaodong, and after several wars.

The Ning family came down for several generations, and the lands near Qinzhou belonged to the Ning family, and Ning Changzhen also made great contributions. He also fought with his uncle Ning Xuan to open up Hepu County. At the end of the Sui Dynasty, the Ning family owned the two counties of Ning Yue and Hepu, and now they have lands in several states.

"At the beginning, Ning Chun was following me behind, thinking that this elder brother was an example everywhere. Unexpectedly, he would have the courage to go against me now."

My uncle Ning Xuan took the land of Hepu and the three prefectures in his hand and did not take him as his nephew, the patriarch, seriously. His loyalty to the Tang Dynasty was actually just unwilling to obey his orders.

It's a joke.

Feng Xuan and Tan Dian had already captured Nanyue Prefecture, but Ning Changzhen didn't even capture Jiangzhou.

Feng Ang was still waiting for the movement here. This time the uprising was a test of their Tang court. They also used this uprising to show the attitude of their Lingnan tribes to the Tang court.

But if they have internal conflicts and even they can’t even deal with Ning Xuan and his son, how can they give Tang Ting a little bit of color? Even if they can’t deal with their own people, how can they make Tang Ting afraid of them?

A group of soldiers retreated in shame, dragging their tired and wet bodies and looking weak.

"Continue attack!" Ning Changzhen drew his sword and shouted at them.

Nanzhou Governor Pang Xiaogong and Lezhou Governor Zhou Xiaojian came over to advise, "The boys are exhausted. It's so heavy that they are really unable to attack the city. It's better to retreat first and rest and wait until the rain stops before attacking."

Both of them were also the chief commander of the side and were dependent on the Ning family. The two responded with soldiers, but they were not willing to contribute much when siegeing the city.

They have been attacking Jiangzhou City for more than ten days, but they have not yet captured it.

"When the sky clears, the troops of Tan Shuai and Feng Shuai have arrived. At that time, we will join forces and this lonely city in Jiangzhou will not last long." Pang Xiaogong said.

Seeing that the generals were unwilling to attack again, Ning Changzhen had to order a temporary cession.

Gaozhou.

Feng Ann, the patriarch of the Feng family, sat in the study and studied. The weather in Lingnan in May was already hot, and it seemed hot even if it was wearing a thin robe.

The study was burned with incense and the precious ambergris.

But no matter how expensive ambergris is, it cannot calm him down.

I held the book in my hand for most of the day, but I didn't turn a page.

A knock on the door sounded.

"Come in."

"Mr., I have a letter."

Feng Ann nodded, took the letter and waved it away, carefully checked that the seal was not damaged before opening it. But after just a few glances, he slapped the table with a palm.

“Useless waste!”

"I shouldn't believe Ning Changzhen, this waste."

The letter was from his elder brother Feng Xuan, who told him about the situation in the west. The situation was worse than expected. Ning Xuan, Ning Chun and his son refused to raise an army, and Ning Changzhen sent troops to attack, but he could not conquer for a long time.

The west side has not settled, but the east side is not peaceful.

In the northeast of Gaozhou, the territory of the Chen family of the three major families in Lingnan, Chen Longshu, the current governor, had a grudge against the Feng family. During the Sui Dynasty, Chen Longshu's father Chen Fozhi and others raised an army to rebel against the Sui Dynasty and sent troops to attack Guangzhou.

However, the Feng family in Gaozhou behind the Chen family sent troops to attack. Chen Fozhi was defeated and killed by Feng Ang, and the Feng family also took away the Feng family. Chen Longshu fled to Ning Changzhen's father Ning Mengli, who wanted to ask him to send troops to attack the Feng family to take revenge, but Ning Mengli kept ruling.

A few years ago, the chiefs of Lingnan returned to the Tang Dynasty. Chen Longshu surrendered to the Tang Dynasty and was appointed as the governor of Longzhou by the Tang Dynasty, and was able to return to Longzhou. As soon as he returned to his hometown, Chen Longshu fought against the Feng family everywhere.

This time, the Feng Ning and his two families secretly planned to raise an army and contacted the Chen family, but Chen Longshu was firm in his attitude.

In the end, Feng Ang decided to let Feng Xuan and Ning Changzhen take action in the west first. He did not raise troops in the east for the time being to restrain the Tang army in Guangzhou and the Chen family in the Longzhou.

But this matter couldn't be delayed for long. Now Chen Longshu is actively recruiting troops and preparing to reinforce Ning Xuan Ningchun. Longzhou is not far from Jiangzhou. It is across Yunkai Mountain in Douzhou, and the sphere of influence of the Ning family is to the west.

"Even Lingnan people can't unite themselves, how can they protect the interests of each family? A group of short-sighted guys, Ning Xuan, Chen Longshu, the scum of Lingnan!"

After scolding, Feng Ang called his subordinates.

"What's going on in Guangzhou? Did Li come to Guangzhou?"

"The Guangzhou side is still the same as before, and Li's troops have not arrived yet." The servant replied.

Feng Ang frowned. According to the saying, the order had been issued for many days. Li Congliu went south and was following the southeast trade wind and should have arrived in Guangzhou soon.

Li only had five thousand soldiers. When he came south, he must first go to Guangzhou to enter the port, take supplies and rest, and even add some troops in Guangzhou.

"Li hasn't arrived in Guangzhou yet, what is he dragging?" Feng Ang was a little confused.

······

Above the vast sea, a fleet is sailing through the wind and waves.

There were storms at sea, but fortunately, the storm was not big, and the fleet still maintained its formation sailing.

"This ghost weather is not very time." Li smiled and felt the ups and downs of the cabin.

When sailing at sea, I encountered such stormy weather and even lost my deck activities, so I could only stay in the cabin and listen to the sound of wind and waves, so bored.

"It's almost done, we've arrived at the Cliff of Heaven." Zhang Zhongjian lay in the hammock, holding a small dried salted fish in his mouth, and said calmly. People who have been running on the sea for many years are nothing to him at the moment.

"I have arrived at the Yazhou Strait, but unfortunately I can't see anything."

Feng Ang thought that Li and his fleet and troops were still on the way from Liuqiu to Guangzhou. But in fact, Li had already passed Guangzhou, but he had not stopped in Guangzhou at all. Even after Li left Liuqiu, he had never stopped at a port.

Taking advantage of the southeast trade wind, this fleet carrying 5,000 troops and supplies headed straight for Guangxi.

The fleet's goal is Qinzhou Bay.

A trip that no one could imagine.

Even Feng Ang thought that Li must first enter Guangzhou, but Li secretly headed straight to Qinzhou.

To hit a snake, you have to hit seven inches.

The rebels were mainly in Guangxi, and Qinzhou was another must-fight place. Although Li only had 5,000 troops, as long as he captured Qinzhou, Li could continue to obtain supplies and reinforcements from the sea by defending Qinzhou Port.

By capturing Qinzhou and directly dismantling the Ning family's main force in the rebels, they can also gain a solid stronghold, which can attack and retreat and defend. At that time, the old fox Feng Ang could only drink Li's foot wash water.

Thanks to today's navigation technology, you don't have to rely entirely on the coast.

"I am really looking forward to seeing the reaction of the Ning family in Qinzhou." Zhang Zhongjian chewed the small fish road.

Ning Changzhen was leading troops to attack Jiangzhou. He would never have expected that an elite Tang army would come out from behind and even directly raid his lair.

A few days later.

After the wind and rain, the blue sky is as clear as a clear sky.

At the Qinjiangkou of Qinzhou Port, a fleet arrived quietly.

"King Yue, the Qin River is full, just right for our fleet to enter."

Li stood on the deck of the boat and stretched his body. After sitting on the boat for a few days, he was not seasick, but he also felt uncomfortable all over. "Then go up the river and drive the boat directly to the city of Qinzhou!"

The fleet sailed into Qinjiang in a mighty manner.

There were fishing boats fishing in the river. Seeing the huge fleet that suddenly appeared, I was stunned.

Soon, Qinzhou City had already appeared on the distant riverside and came into Li's eyes.

The alarm bell sounded loudly, and the Ning family in Qinzhou also saw the arrival of this guest.
Chapter completed!
