The Passionate Guns of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 655 Lin Shihong Proclaims Emperor

Li Zitong and others pretended to surrender to Yang Yong, and almost lost their heads. After being released, they broke out in a cold sweat, and the timid ones wet their pants.

Yang Yong and Xu Maogong did not treat Li Zitong and others badly after they knocked the mountains and shook the tiger. Although they did not let them become the main generals who led the army to guard the side, they also had their own uses. Let's go, the rest of the people are also appointed according to their talents. For a while, they are really grateful to Yang Yong, and they have been honest for a while.

Yang Yong was very happy to have more than 3 horses from Li Zitong, and he was resting in Yuhang.

Wu Wang Du Fuwei, Fu Gong Er, Huzhou Wang Shen Faxing, Wujun Wang Wenren Suian, Nantong Wang Li Zitong and other Jiangnan warlords were defeated one after another, disappeared in smoke, and their sphere of influence belonged to Yang Yong.According to the administrative map of the 21st century, Yang Yong's territory suddenly has more vast areas such as Anhui, Jiangsu, and Zhejiang.

This time the whole country was shaken, and there was an endless stream of people from all over the country who came to surrender and sign up to join the army. In addition to the remnants of the major warlords, Yang Yong had more than 60 troops in the south of the Yangtze River, and the navy alone reached 12.

Yang Yong was overjoyed, and stepped up his training in Yuhang to prepare food and grass. The next step was to march westward to deal with Lin Shihong in southern Jiangxi, and then marched northward to attack Xiaoliang with Li Jing's troops. After Jiangnan was settled, he should deal with his old opponent Li father and son.

Just when Yang Yong was sharpening his sword and was full of ambitions, Chu Wang Lin Shihong was not idle and was also stepping up his preparations.

It turned out that after the failure of the alliance of five kings, King Lin Shihong of Chu realized that Yang Yong would not be able to finish his calculations with him. When he returned to Yuzhang County, he recruited troops and bought horses. While Yang Yong was fighting the four kings, he recruited wise men everywhere. .

During this period, some counselors paid attention to him. Shen Faxing, Wenren Suian and other four princes retreated successively, and asked him to send troops to attack Yang Yong's rear. Not only did he kill Yang Yong, but he also saved the four princes. They must be grateful , kill two birds with one stone.

Lin Shihong didn't accept it, and scolded the four kings as short-sighted people, it would be difficult to achieve great things, and said, you fight, the more fierce the fight, the better it is for the king, and it would be best if Yang Yong could kill you all.

Lin Shihong was very discerning and saw very accurately. Sure enough, he was the beneficiary, and a large number of refugees fleeing the war fled to his territory.Lin Shihong took them all in. Those who lacked clothes had to be given clothes, and those who had no place to live had officers and soldiers help them repair their houses. If the refugees had no food to eat, he ordered his officials to open warehouses for relief. At the same time, he reduced rents within his sphere of influence. tax cuts.

In this troubled world, these measures are very popular. Lin Shihong suddenly became a Bodhisattva in people's minds, attracting people from all walks of life to vote, including landlords, farmers, old bureaucrats, monks, Taoists and other monks, and There are thieves who steal chickens and dogs, and there are even green forest heroes who occupy the mountains as kings. There are endless streams of people who sign up to join the army.

Lin Shihong never refused anyone who came, regardless of his background, and collected them all under his own name.As a result, his strength soared, and in just two months, his military strength doubled to over 20 in total.With the strength, of course we need to expand the territory, the north and the west are Xiaoliang's territory, he can't expand, he can only expand east and south, at this time, Yang Yong and the four kings' troops are fighting in the southeast coast, and there is nothing to worry about.Therefore, by August, Lin Shihong's leaders covered all of Jiangxi and Fujian, as well as the vast areas of eastern Guangdong.

Now Lin Shihong has many generals under his command. In addition to the original Four Great Swordsmen and Eight Great Swords under his command, there are also Zhao Sihai, a shovel general who was born as a farmer, Ma Yuan, a fake monk who became a monk halfway, and Yu Changqing, a three-handed real person. Therefore, Lin Shihong's back suddenly hardened. .

An auspicious day was picked, and Lin Shihong proclaimed himself emperor in Yuzhang County, with the title of Taiping and a hundred officials.

When the news reached Yang Yong, Yang Yong was furious, "My day, all the bricks and tiles want to become elites these days. I run across Mobei, drink horses and Yangtze Rivers, own more than half of Kyushu, and have more than 100 million soldiers and horses. I don't even say anything." Emperor, you also call yourself emperor, and that person also calls you emperor, you don't take Lao Tzu seriously!"

At this time, Yang Yong had been in Yuhang for a month to rectify the army and horses, and completed the preparations for dispatching troops and condemning generals and the first batch of food and grass, and he had the intention of conquering Chu.Lin Shihong's proclaiming the emperor gave Yang Yong an excuse to ask Zhao Chun, the ten thousand leader, to lead troops to defend Yuhang, and then he and Xu Maogong, the military adviser, raised an army of 40, including 12 sailors, to attack the King of Chu.

Apart from a few beauties, the accompanying generals also included Luo Song, Yu Chigong, Li Zitong, Hou Junji, Lin Wenyuan, Le Botong, etc. General Zhang Gongjin was still responsible for supervising the transportation of grain and grass, and the navy consisted of Liao Yong, Bai Yu, and Bier. He Zhuer and other four people were in charge, and the 40 troops left Yuhang, passed through Jinhua Mansion, walked to Quzhou, and marched westward along the way.

Along the way, it is unstoppable to attack states and counties.On this day, Yang Yong's army marched to the boundary of Poyang County and encountered Lin Shihong's main force. The two sides set up a battlefield in Pingshan Town, [-] miles east of the city.

A battlefield of tens of 10 people is quite a huge scene.Yang Yong immediately stood in front of the volunteer army and looked at the opposite camp. The distance between the two sides was about 200 meters. He saw that the Chu army's camp was neat and orderly. .

In the middle, under the canopy of the yellow umbrella, stood a fat yellow horse, and immediately sat a tall man, wearing a dragon crown, a rolling dragon robe, and a sword of heaven hanging from his waist. Look at Yang Yong.

Yang Yong took a look, this must be Lin Shihong, he is really stylish, it seems that this means that he is personally recruited by the imperial driver.

At this time, a horse from Lin Shihong's army flew out, and immediately a general with a bronze helmet and a bronze armor rushed to the formation of the two armies. Zhang Sanbaihe is extremely arrogant.

"There is no one who can fight against Lao Tzu against Sanbaihe yet!" Yang Yong didn't turn his eyes on him at all.At this time, the male and female generals around Yang Yong asked for orders to fight.

Yang Yong didn't know the details of the enemy generals, this first battle was very important, if he lost the morale of the three armies, Yang Yong looked at the generals who were begging for orders, and ordered Yu Chigong to fight. Take the enemy general.

The two of them reported their names to Yang Yong and found out that this general was called Zhang Jiuzheng. Yang Yong had never heard of this name, so he already guessed the result without typing.Therefore, Yang Yong just looked at the battlefield absent-mindedly.At this time, the two generals were killed in one place, and after a few hedges, the two horses were entangled in one place.

Yang Yong saw that Zhang Jiuzheng really had two tricks, and his horse sank quickly, whistling and hanging.Yu Chigong was even more unambiguous, the big gun in his hand was flying up and down, elusive, [-] rounds, no winner.Yang Yong couldn't help nodding his head, he could be regarded as a fierce general if he could fight like this with Yu Chigong.

At this time, the two horses started to push off by mistake, Yuchigong had a sharp eye, put the gun in one hand, and quickly pulled out the leopard-tailed steel whip. As soon as the two horses kicked off, Yuchigong's steel whip fell from the air, and Zhang Jiuzheng couldn't dodge it. With a scream, the head was smashed, the dead body was cut under the horse, and the horse ran away without an owner...
