Chapter 1113 Raise the army!
Qinzhou Qinjiang City, Yuezhou Hepu City, Luozhou Shicheng, Leizhou Haikang City and Yazhou Shecheng. These five cities captured by Li Chao all have one characteristic, namely near the sea and near the river.
Another characteristic is that the city is not large and the garrison power is insufficient.
Moreover, the defenders in these cities are generally lagging behind in equipment. Li Chao is the most advanced warship of this era, with the most fierce firearms, and his soldiers are well-trained and well-equipped.
Taking advantage of Ning Changzhen and Feng Xuan's besieging Jiangzhou, Li Chao quietly appeared from the sea and attacked their nests. After Li Chao captured Qinjiang City, he did not rush to go north to rescue Jiangzhou. Instead, Li Chao divided his troops into several groups and captured four prefecture cities in a row.
Li Chao's strategic plan was also very simple and crude. He used the advantages of the warship to seize several cities along the coast and riverside, but he only captured a few cities and did not go deep into his stomach to capture other cities and towns.
After hitting the snake and hitting Qicha, Li Chao wanted to deal with the rebels and occupied their lairs.
After controlling several prefecture cities near the coast and along the river, Li Chao strengthened the city defense while transferring Feng Ning and his family's families to Yazhoushe City on Hainan Island.
Now, Li Chao only needs to guard a few cities and wait for reinforcements from Guangzhou and Jiaozhou.
Gaozhou.
Feng Ann received a military order from Li Chao, ordering him to assemble 20,000 troops to attack the rebels in Nanzhou and Lezhou.
If it were just this order, Feng Ann would not have had such a headache.
The key point is that Li Chao also issued a military order to Chen Longshu, the governor of Longzhou, to lead his troops into Douzhou. Douzhou has always been the center of the competition between Chen and Feng families, and it is also the center of Yunkai Mountain and the barbarian land in the past.
If Chen Longshu entered Longzhou, he would be only one step away from the Feng family's Gaozhou. Once Feng Ang leads his troops to leave Gaozhou, no one can guarantee that Li Chao and Chen Longshu will seize his way out.
The most headache was that Li Chao arrived in Qinzhou unexpectedly, and he captured five cities with no speed. Five cities were captured. Among them, the city of Leizhou was the city guarded by his second son as the governor.
As soon as he transferred his second son to Gaozhou to gather, Li Chao sent troops to occupy Leizhou City.
This was simply staring at his son's actions.
Feng Xuan's Luozhou and his second son Leizhou were lost.
The situation was much worse than expected, especially Li Chao appeared quietly in Qinzhou, which was even more guarding against him.
Shoot yourself in the foot.
Originally, this rebellion was just a test, but now it's better to invite the wolf into the house.
Li Chao came, and then a group of monsters and monsters appeared. Chen Zhiluo, Chen Longshu, Chen Longshu, Jiangzhou Ning Xuan, and Ning Chun from Nanhezhou all followed Tang Ting to fight against them.
"Father, it's better to just raise an army. Li Chao is only 5,000 troops. If we raise an army, we can capture Li Chao alive and turn to capture Guangzhou, and then seize Lingnan..."
"Enough!"
Feng Ang scolded his son Zhidai, who was his second son, but he also liked the son he liked the most. Back then, he entered the Central Plains and was the general in the Yang Guang court, so the son was also with him and served as a guard in the palace.
Later, when he returned to Lingnan, the road was blocked, so he sent his son to take the lead all the way.
His other older sons served as governors of Chunzhou, Enzhou, Donghezhou and other provinces. His brother served as governors of Luozhou and his uncle served as governors of Yazhou. But he stayed with him for this son.
Everyone in the Feng family knew that the next head of the family must be Zhidai.
Compared to his father, Zhidai is more rough.
"How many times have I told you that I have used my brains when encountering problems. Li Chao is indeed only 5,000 people, but Guangzhou, Jiaozhou, Duanzhou, Longzhou, Jiangzhou and other soldiers who are willing to be loyal to the Tang court are not loyal to the Tang court. Besides, what if I defeat Li Chao? The Tang Dynasty has unified the Central Plains and has even destroyed the Turks just now. We, Lingnan, are all fighting together, so how can we fight against the Central Plains?"
"But what should we do?"
Feng Ang sighed.
Yes, what should I do? The person he respected most in his life was his grandmother, Mrs. Xian. He went through Liang, Chen and Sui throughout his life, but was highly respected and maintained the stable situation of the Lingnan people. In the three dynasties, Lingnan was the Lingnan people of Lingnan.
His biggest goal in his life was to maintain the situation of his grandmother at that time and to join the Central Plains, but the people of Lingnan were autonomous. I am afraid that this situation could not be maintained anymore.
When the army rises, Lingnan will be in chaos. With the current situation, they will definitely be the ones who will lose in the end.
Sigh.
Stop it!
"Zhi Dai, I hope you will go to the Central Plains for your father, go to Hanjing to meet the emperor, and submit a letter to me."
"Father?" Feng Zhidai suddenly understood what his father meant. When he went to the Central Plains to enter Beijing, he was actually going to be a hostage.
"Did we just give in?"
"Stay your strength and wait and see what happens." Feng Ang said to his son.
After saying that, he began to hold a pen and write a seal to the emperor.
After writing the form, he called his fourth son Feng Zhiyu, the governor of Leizhou. As soon as the son left Leizhou with his troops, Li Chao occupied Leizhou City.
"I will give you a task, and you will take your subordinates to Li Chao, Qinzhou to obey the orders."
Feng Zhiyu was stunned on the spot after hearing this.
"Did my father ask me to go to Li Chao as an insider?"
Feng Ann shook his head, "The situation has changed, we can only adapt to the situation. Now, for your father, you must accept Li Chao's military order to send troops to quell the rebellion. If you go to Li Chao's command, you will follow his orders."
"Put down the rebellion? Uncle and the others?"
"I will send someone to secretly inform them of my decision. They can only surrender, and hope the court will not investigate it in depth." In the past, various troops in Lingnan rebelled and Central Plains sent troops to quell the rebellion. As long as the chiefs surrendered, the Central Plains rarely investigated it in depth. At most, they only talked about the mastermind, and the rest were not counted.
This plan has failed.
A worst result was tested.
Qinzhou.
As usual, Li Chao and Zhang Zhongjian and several students had a meal together.
"Why is there not a single snail meat in this screw powder?"
Zhu Zhendong copied the chopsticks several times and found that there were no snails except powder, so why is it called screw powder?
Wang Xuance said bluntly, "When you eat your wife's cake, do you have a wife inside?"
"There is no fish in the shredded meat." Shangguan Yi also finished the fight.
Zhang Zhongjian also smiled as they joked. "But this screw powder does have the smell of snail meat."
"That's natural, because this is a soup made of secretly made of snail meat, pork bones, medicinal materials, spices, etc. The rice noodles cooked with this soup taste not ordinary delicious." Li Chao had questioned the lack of snail meat like them before, but after learning to cook, he also understood that the relationship between screw noodles is the taste, rather than just putting screw meat on it. Of course, some people do this.
"The most important thing about a good bowl of screw powder is its soup. My soup is made by myself, especially the Nanzhao wild pepper, which tastes the most positive."
"The Grand Marshal is so leisurely and calm. We are now focusing on tens of thousands of rebels outside, but the Grand Marshal still has the intention to be a screw fan by himself." Gao Kan admired his teacher's calmness very much.
There were only 5,000 people, and they were divided into troops to guide various places.
There are only a thousand defenders in Qinzhou City now. Even if the sailors on the boats in Qinjiang outside are only a few hundred more.
"What are you afraid of? Wars are not about winning by number. Besides, we now have cities, and there is a fleet on the river, with artillery, sufficient food and sufficient weapons. What about the rebels? There are indeed a lot of numbers, which sounds scary, tens of thousands. But if you look closely, you will know who are the rebels?"
"The main players of Ning Feng and other companies are actually not many. Their elites are well equipped, but they are still a few levels worse than us. As for the rest of the slang, they are just hunters, barefoots, straw raincoats, and long spears and short swords. These people are just mobs."
"But they are dozens of times more numerous than theirs."
"A dozens of times the amount will consume more food and grass."
"Qinzhou rice noodles are very good. The soil here is good. There are fertile fields along the Qin River. The rice grown is the most suitable for processing rice noodles. Using this Qinzhou rice noodles, whether it is screw noodles, pork feet noodles, or dog meat noodles, or fried noodles, it is also very good to eat. Pack it well, and Qinzhou noodles will definitely be very popular in the future." Li Chao picked up a chopstick rice noodles, added red oil and bamboo shoots to the screw noodles, and it was spicy and sour, which really made him feel very popular.
In addition to the good rice and noodles in Qinzhou, it is located on the river and sea, and seafood is also a major specialty.
Qinzhou big oysters are very delicious. The oysters here are large, thick meat and delicious. Whether they are roasted or done, they are very delicious.
Add some garlic and vermicelli and it will be even more delicious.
Lao Zhu used his butcher's strengths to make a roasted suckling pig for everyone today. The roast was golden and crispy, and cut it piece by piece, which was quite refreshing.
"Before I came, I heard about the smoke and smoke in Lingnan. I said that this place will be like a life of death when I come here once. Damn, I really came. I found that this place has beautiful mountains and rivers and is quite beautiful. Although it is indeed more rainy than the hot spots in the Central Plains, it is not unacceptable."
Everyone had a very happy meal.
Remove the cup and tray and change to refreshment.
"Have Feng Angn responded yet?" Zhang Zhongjian asked.
"It should be soon. In this situation, what else can he have to wait and see. If Feng Xuanning finishes his life, then Feng Ang will be finished. As I expected, Feng Ang should have made a statement in the next few days."
Zhang Zhongjian smiled.
Blowing the floating tea leaves, "Then don't rush to get reinforcements from Weizhou Island to come?"
Weizhou, the later Weizhou Island, is located on the Zhumu Sea, not far from Qinzhou, Luozhou, etc. There is now a fleet anchored there, including the Tang army from Jiaozhou and the Nanyang Trading Company's fleet.
There are not many people, only a few thousand people. But this hidden power can definitely be a fierce attack at the critical moment.
"If Feng Ang accepts your military order to send troops, what should he do next?"
