Liaozhai Great Sage

But it seems that his own army can't catch him by surprise, otherwise Li Liangjin will probably die without knowing how he lost.

"But it's okay, since you can't catch him by surprise, then defeat him in an upright manner." Li Xiuyuan received the god's eye technique, and no longer peeped at Li Liangjin's camp. It's useless to peek even though he hasn't arrived in Yangzhou yet.

"The army advances to Yangzhou City, and after three days of repairs, it will attack Li Liangjin."

He wins steadily, not in a hurry.

He is confident that he can defeat Li Liangjin, but who knows what will happen on the battlefield.

Don't rely too much on ghosts and gods for everything, mortal affairs should be resolved by mortal people, especially when encountering wars. The ancients said that victory or defeat is a common matter in military affairs.

He Li Liangjin can't be defeated, how dare he be defeated?

After marching for several days, Li Xiuyuan's army arrived at Yangzhou City.

Yangzhou City is also a big city, famous since ancient times. Although it is not as good as Jinling, it is also the most important city in the south.

And because of the developed water conservancy, Yangzhou is also extremely prosperous.

Seeing merchants coming and going on the road, and cargo ships going back and forth on the river, Li Xiuyuan couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "If Li Liangjin took Yangzhou City and became the King of Nine Mountains that day, it would not be easy to destroy him."

Occupy the mountain as king, but the meaning of occupying the city as king is different.

Occupying the mountain as king is nothing more than robbers and bandits. If occupying the city as king, it is a traitor.

Although rebels are also thieves, if there is a force that sweeps the world, it will be a rebel army. At that time, there will be many people who will rush to join them.

"It's a pity that Li Liangjin couldn't help himself. He was instigated by ghosts and gods to rebel in a hurry, thinking that he would be invincible in the world if he captured dozens of small cities and counties in a row. In the end, he attacked Jinling City by mistake, so that the power has not yet reached the momentum of sweeping , The soldiers under his command do not have weapons and armor, and even enough food and grass to support them. If he seizes Yangzhou first, uses Yangzhou as the foundation, and slowly plans to build it, it will take at least several years to destroy him." Li Xiuyuan said again.

Wang Ping next to him nodded and said, "Yes, Yangzhou is rich and rich. Even if you can't hold on to Yangzhou, you can keep it for three years. You can make Li Liangjin the King of Nine Mountains for three years."

There is a large grain depot in Yangzhou City, as well as the military armor depot of the imperial court. The tax revenue in the south of the Yangtze River is transported to the north through Yangzhou's canal.

Taking this place is equivalent to having the potential to become king in the south.

It's just that the ghosts and gods behind Li Liangjin were too eager to kill Li Xiuyuan, thinking that Yang Biao and other [-] heavenly soldiers and generals would be able to accomplish things, but they didn't know that they relied too much on the power of ghosts and gods so that they were completely defeated.

"Yangzhou City Li Liangjin won't take it, I'll take it."

Li Xiuyuan said suddenly: "Yangzhou's Sun Zongbing is still lying outside Jinling City. The defense of Yangzhou City should be surprisingly empty now."

"Brother Li, be careful, this is an important city of the imperial court, you and I should not mess around here." Wang Ping urged hastily.

Li Xiuyuan smiled and said: "I just want to take over the city defense here, how can I interfere with the government affairs of Yangzhou City, I heard that the magistrate of Yangzhou City is a relative of Li Liangjin, if this place is not stationed, I am afraid that there will be chaos at that time."

"That's reasonable." Wang Ping nodded in agreement.

On this day, Li Xiuyuan stationed troops outside Yangzhou city.

He led Dutong, soldiers, Wang Ping, staff and others into Yangzhou City.

The magistrate of Yangzhou City was Li Liangjin's third uncle, named Li Bing.

As the magistrate, he originally wanted wind to win wind and rain to win rain. In Yangzhou City, he can be said to be better than princes, not to mention beautiful wives and maidservants. Relatives are not afraid of attacks from any political opponents.

The tree is big to enjoy the shade.

However, Li Bing, the magistrate of Yangzhou, was not doing very well during this time. He heard that Li Liangjin had rebelled against the reality, and was so frightened that he was almost to death. He went, and he was about to take down Jinling City, which made him excited again.

If Li Liangjin really had the ability to change the world, then it would not be a problem for him to sacrifice the city and surrender, and follow his nephew to become a marquis and a prime minister in the future.

Not long after he had a good dream, Li Bing heard the news that Li Liangjin had defeated Jinling City, and he broke out in a cold sweat.

It's good that the rebellion succeeds, but if it fails, the nine clans will be punished.

Li Bing huddled in the official office these days and shivered, feeling that the yamen servants and soldiers in the yamen were not looking right at him.

It seemed that he was waiting for the imperial decree to scare him, and immediately arrested himself for questioning and beheading.

"My lord, it's not good, it's not good, a general surnamed Li suddenly came to the outside of Yangzhou City today, and now he has set up camp, and now he is rushing here with hundreds of soldiers." A servant Said hastily.

"What?" Li Bing was startled: "General Li is stationed outside the city?"

He felt dizzy for a while. Could it be that his nephew Li Liangjin really led the army here?

How can this be good, isn't this forcing myself to rebel?

Li Liangjin, Li Liangjin, you've made uncle miserable.

Chapter 476 There's Someone Above

Within the government office of Yangzhou City.

The guards here are heavily guarded, and the armored soldiers stand tall. The passers-by looked inside curiously, but they were blocked by the fierce armored soldiers. People can't help but wonder what happened in the government today.

It's not really anything serious.

It's just that Li Bing, the magistrate of Yangzhou City, and Li Xiuyuan, who just entered the city, are drinking a few cups of leisure tea.

I thought that the General Li that the servants were talking about would be Li Liangjin, but when they actually met, they found out that this General Li was actually Li Xiuyuan who was a guerrilla general.

This made Li Bing even more uneasy.

"I don't know why General Li was stationed outside the city, and why did he enter the city to meet you?" He asked cautiously, fearing that the imperial court ordered him to be arrested.

Li Xiuyuan said: "It's not for anything else, just to take advantage of the expensive place to rest for two days. By the way, I want to ask the magistrate for some food and ordnance. I remember that the autumn Fu in Yangzhou City has just been collected not long ago. The ordnance in it has not been opened for a long time."

It turned out to be for the autumn wind.

Li Bing breathed a sigh of relief.

It is normal for the passing army to temporarily station in a city, and it is normal to send them off according to the rules, there is no need to be too polite.

Thinking of this, Li Bingzheng said seriously: "Although General Li has made great achievements in attacking thieves, but the imperial court's taxes are high, how can he take out the armor in the treasury casually? This is a crime of beheading, so let me As the magistrate of Yangzhou City, he is responsible for delivering food for General Li's army for [-] days. How do you think?"

Li Xiuyuan shook his head and smiled, "It seems that the magistrate regards me as a beggar? It's just that the magistrate, do you know that you are dying now?"

"What does General Li mean by these words?" Li Bing said seriously, although he knew the meaning of Li Xiuyuan's words, he still pretended to be confused.

Li Xiuyuan said: "I led the army here to pacify Li Liangjin. As far as I know, Li Liangjin proclaimed himself King of the Nine Mountains and openly rebelled. According to the law, not only should he be executed, but he would also implicate the three clans, and even the nine clans. Maybe, the magistrate is Li Liangjin's uncle, no matter if it is from the three clans or the nine clans, the magistrate is bound to die."

These words directly hit Li Bing's weakness, and he fell silent immediately.

Although the imperial decree of the imperial court has not yet come down, he can already think of his own ending, so these days he struggled extremely, and wanted to put all his eggs in one basket for Li Liangjin, and simply rebelled, but he was afraid of implicating his wife and children. The first defeat has already exhausted its edge, and it was still defeated by an unknown guerrilla general. The generals from all over the country and the imperial army have not yet arrived.

That's why Li Bingcai never dared to act rashly.

Seeing his expression, Li Xiuyuan knew that this Li Bing was also a smart person, but his situation was a dead end.
