- After Zhou Faming died, Zhou Shao asked people to secretly reward Zhou Faming's boat ride, and then blocked the news and kept the funeral secret. At the same time, he also asked people to falsely claim that Zhou Faming had suffered a minor injury and was recuperating.
Zhou Shaoze himself took Zhou Faming's body and rushed to Mianyang, preparing to lead his troops to retreat.
The Zhou family navy, under the command of Zhou Faming's cousin Zhou Faji, moved towards Mianyang, preparing to meet up with the Mianyang defenders and return eastward.
It¡¯s just that both Zhou Faming and Zhou Shaoze underestimated Li Shimin.
Since Li Shimin has sent a killer, there will certainly not be only one move. After the killer was dispatched, Li Shimin mobilized the army and prepared for attack.
Of course, Li Shimin didn't know whether the killer would succeed, but he had a clever way. He sent spies lurking in Mianyang City to monitor the county government day and night and observe Zhou Shaoze's movements.
Sure enough, Zhou Shao left the station in a hurry, and it didn't take long for the news to reach Li Shimin's army.
When Li Shimin learned the news, he already knew Zhou Faming's situation. If Zhou Shao did not move, Zhou Faming would naturally have nothing to do or a minor matter. But today Zhou Shao left in a hurry. Unless Zhou Faming was seriously injured in an assassination or died directly, Zhou Shao would never leave his post without any reason.
At this time, something happened to Zhou Faming and Zhou Shao left. It was the time when the Zhou family's troops were in the most chaos, and it was also a good opportunity for him to seize the opportunity to defeat the enemy.
So Li Shimin ordered all the troops to attack Mianyang City. At the same time, he ordered the only naval force in his hand to attack the navy of Zhou Jiajun.
Although Zhou Shaoze rushed back after Zhou Faming's death, he was still a step too late.
The Tang army suddenly launched an attack, and the defenders of Mianyang City suffered heavy losses. At this time, Zhou Shao was away, and the Tang army on the opposite side spread the news of the death of Zhou Faming and his son, which immediately caused chaos in the Zhou family army.
By the time Zhou Shaoze arrived, Mianyang had already been defeated.
Xu Shang, the general of Zhou Faming Department, led the remaining troops to escape from Mianyang City.
After Zhou Shaoze made peace with Xu Shang, he did not dare to go to war with the Tang army, so he had to evacuate eastward with the remaining troops.
At the same time, the Zhou Jiajun Navy was also attacked. At this time miaoshuy*uan.com Zhang Si
After Zhou Faming died, even his confidant Zhou Ju died. Although Zhou Shaoze temporarily arranged for Zhou Faji to command the army, he was suddenly attacked and Zhou Faji did not control the various ministries, so the three armies inevitably broke into chaos.
If Zhou Fa had not made a decisive decision and led his troops to break out of the encirclement, the entire Zhou family navy would have been completely wiped out.
Zhou Shaoze and Zhou Fa both fled back to Jiangxia in embarrassment. They lost their armor and armor and were in chaos. Their combined strength was reduced by more than half, and their vitality was severely damaged.
Li Shimin took advantage of the victory to occupy Mianyang County and pursued Jiangxia.
¡¤¡¤¡¤¡¤¡¤¡¤¡¤
News of the Mianyang Incident quickly spread to Huancheng, and Chen Kedi, who was training the navy in Huancheng, couldn't sit still.
After Huang Weiyang returned to Jiangnan to quell the chaos, Chen Kedi was never idle. The next target of the Sui Dynasty must be Xiao Liang, who has also been studying the strategy of advancing westward.
The fact that Li Shimin led his army to support Xiao Liang could not be hidden from the Sui Dynasty. Chen Kedi had already judged that Huang Mingyuan's intentions were similar, and moved the tiger away from the mountain, so he was not too nervous and did not react.
With Zhou Faming standing in the way, it would be inappropriate to do anything. After all, Zhou Faming was very strict with his territory, and Chen Kedi did not want to rush into the five counties of Yong'an and arouse Zhou Faming's suspicion.
Furthermore, Zhou Faming had 50,000 troops and was very powerful. Chen Kedi also wanted to use Li Shimin to consume Zhou Faming's strength, so he would not take the initiative to go west to support him.
Chen Kedi expected that Zhou Faming might lose, after all, his opponent was Li Shimin. But he never expected that Zhou Faming would be assassinated by several assassins disguised as fishermen.
Once Zhou Faming died, the people within the Zhou family were in turmoil and they were bound to lose. If Li Shimin took the opportunity to advance eastward and take the five counties of Yong'an directly, it would be troublesome for the Sui Dynasty. 强牺 miaoshuyuan.com 读牺
In particular, the five counties of Yong'an have a very special location. They connect Jiangnan to the east, Jingxiang to the west, and Henan to the north. They are the heart of the south. If this place is lost, the Sui army will lose the bridgehead for the western expedition to Xiaoliang and the forward base for the decisive battle with Li Shimin. If they want to recapture this place in the future, they may not know how much effort it will take.
At this time, Chen Kedi had no time to report to Huang Weiyang, so he ordered the 59th Army under his command to assemble and standby. Together with the 5,000 navy in hand, Chen Kedi was ready to rush to Jiangxia to support the Zhou family.
Mianyang can be lost, Yong'an, Anlu and even Qichun can be lost. Only Jiangxia, where the great river is flourishing and the thoroughfare to the south, must not be lost.
Chen Kedi has 12,000 soldiers, the main force of which is the 59th Army of the Left Leading Guard.
The Zuo Lingwei are the four troops of the original Tiance Guard, with different origins. The Fifty-seventh Army was adapted from Chen Botu's troops captured by Huang Weilie; the Fifty-eighth Army was adapted from the former Zuo Tiancheng's troops; the Fifty-ninth Army was adapted from the former Chen Leng's troops; and the Sixtieth Army was adapted from the former Du Fuwei's troops.
At this time, the lieutenant general of the 57th Army was Mai Mengcai.
Mai Mengcai has been sinking for a while since Shen Guang's death, but his ideals have been reflected in reality, and people always have to survive, especially after learning that it was Empress Xiao who informed Shen Guang about his raid on the rebels.
Later, Mai Mengcai served as General Huyalang of Tiance Guard, and after the Battle of Jiangxi, he was moved to General Zhonglang.
The Fifty-ninth Army is not weak in combat strength. It is a force formed by Chen Leng. Most of its soldiers are from Huainan and are more adaptable to the environment in the south.
This is also an important reason for keeping the 59th Army in Huancheng.
The day Chen Kedi received the news, he completed the assembly of the army. The Sui army set out from Huancheng and headed five hundred miles west, approaching Jiangxia.
Chen Kedi stood on the bow of the boat, looking to the west with a gloomy face and no laughter.
Although Zhou Faming's death gave him the opportunity to intervene in the five counties of Yong'an. As long as he is given time, he can take over the five counties of Yong'an from the Zhou family.
But Chen Kedi really couldn't laugh. He was too worried about Jiang Xia's situation.
