martial law

Li Yuan, Li Mi, Dou Jiande, there are two people who suffered a big loss from Yang Lin.

Under this ups and downs, the world situation has undergone key changes.

"The weather has turned cold and winter is about to begin. We must get rid of Li Zitong and Shen Faxing before the spring of next year, so that we can live with the people. Otherwise, another year of spring farming will be wasted, and the loss of people's power will be huge."

There are no civil and military ministers here, and there are also some guys who have just surrendered, such as "big talents" such as Dou Wei and Li Gang.

Therefore, Yang Lin didn't ask everyone for their suggestions, let alone put on a face that accepts advice.

Instead, he directly put on a posture and ordered everyone to do some things.

"After acquiring the ranch's [-] horses, Li Jing was in charge of forming elite cavalry, and Xiuxun coordinated in this regard.

Mr. Lu returned to Jiangdu with the king. Now, the six departments of the palace have not yet been set up. First, let's start with the Ministry of Industry. The smelting and manufacturing of some armor, as well as the improvement and research and development of bows and crossbows must be stepped up quickly.After harvesting the grain next year, it is necessary to prepare for the army. "

This is to get ahead.

Yang Lin knew in his heart that although Jiangnan was rich, the war potential in the Central Plains and Guanzhong regions was actually stronger.

How big is the gap?

The difference in combat power between the north and the south is the difference between the fighting nation and the farming nation in this era.

In the Jiangnan area, the common people are mainly farming, and their professional skills will not be used for fighting.

As for the men from the north, they fight all the year round, with a big battle every ten years, and a small battle every three years. With the Hu people outside the Great Wall, they fight every month and every month, and there is no time to completely stop.

The combat quality of an army that grew up in this atmosphere must be higher than that of the southern army.

With Yang Lin's operation, although he gathered the troops in the south of the Yangtze River ahead of time.

However, the gap in combat power between the north and the south did not close. On the contrary, they were alerted in advance and began to hold together to keep warm.

For example, in Luoyang, Yang Lin heard the news that the Dugu Clan joined hands with Wang Shichong for some reason and jointly elected Yue Wang Yang Yu as emperor, and Wang Shichong was named Zheng Guogong to command the army and horses in the city.

The army under his command has a full 20 elites from the Sui Dynasty, and in the Luoyang area, he recruited more than 50 troops, claiming to be [-] soldiers, including the extremely elite [-] Xiaoguo.

Yang Lin killed Yang Guang, although he gained a great reputation, but the biggest sweet fruit was captured by Wang Shichong.

This one has now raised the banner of revenge. On the surface, he wants to train his troops to strengthen himself and go south to counter the rebellion. In fact, he is confronting Li Mi's Wagang Army frantically, probing and attacking. Take advantage.

As for Li Mi, needless to say, after getting the food, the strength of his subordinates is growing every day.

It seemed that the Central Plains people who could not afford food all over the world had gathered under his hands.

Any army drawn out at random is more than [-].

The generals under his command are all brave and brave, and anyone who faces him will have a headache.

In addition to Wang Shichong and Li Mi, of course, Li Yuan, who had swept through Guanzhong at this time and was about to proclaim himself emperor, must not be forgotten.

The Li family also had no opponents in the Guanzhong area at this time. After entering Chang'an, they no longer concealed their ambition to rebuild the world. The 20 army changed into a 50 army.

From this, it can be seen how powerful the powerful families of the Guanlong Group really are.

As long as they support one person, they can pull out hundreds of thousands of troops anytime, anywhere.

Although the strength has greatly increased, Li Yuan's forces can't be separated, and he temporarily confronts Hebei Dou Jiande.

The world is in turmoil, and the northern lands are fiercely fought. Under the situation of confrontation between the two, no one has the intention to manage the southern forces for the time being. Even if there are, they will be completely wiped out by Yang Lin.

Therefore, the South has a valuable opportunity for development.

However, if they don't hurry up, they will unify the south.

When the winners and losers are determined among those armies, if anyone gathers other people's soldiers and horses, and then gathers a million strong soldiers to go south, the problem will be serious.

Therefore, Yang Lin must intervene in the situation in the north before Wang Shichong and Li Mi decide the winner, and before Li Yuan destroys Dou Jiande.

In this way, no matter who wins or loses, I will reap the benefits of the fisherman.

The million soldiers in Wagang Village cannot be swallowed by Li Yuan and the others as fat.

Otherwise, the opponent has both the source of troops and the support of the aristocratic family, who can send people and money, and can lure Turks into the customs anytime and anywhere. This battle is not easy to fight.

"I'll give you a month to build up [-] cavalry, use battle as a substitute for training, and clean up Jiangdong. Can you do it?"

A cold light flashed in Yang Lin's eyes, and he felt a little anxious in his heart. He looked directly at Li Jing and said.

"Your Majesty, don't worry, Li Zitong and Shen Faxing and his like, although they became king early, their fighting strength is not necessarily very strong. It is not difficult to destroy them, but the subordinates need the help of two people."

Li Jing suddenly half-kneeled and saluted, and received the military order.

Some people, once reused, will immediately glow with dazzling brilliance.

Li Jing is such a person.

He became famous when he was young, but half his life was poor, he has been sinking into the position of a low-level official, working hard for a little salary, and bowing his head in the file, speaking of it, he is simply wasting his life.

Later, when he arrived in Mayi, the frontier, he was also a small military officer without much autonomy, not to mention training troops and fighting, basically just waved flags and shouted along with him.

Maybe it was because there were too many civil servants and generals in the Sui Dynasty, or maybe Yang Guang had no eyes, anyway, such a talent was put there, waiting for him to die of old age, and he was not reused at all.

"Xiao Zhong can lead troops to cooperate with you, but Xiao Ling may not be able to do so for the time being. He has already led troops to Luoyang."

As soon as Yang Lin heard it, he understood what Li Jing wanted to say.

When it comes to fighting, Li Jing is not afraid.

However, he also knew that his own Jiangdu forces had plenty of soldiers, food, gold, silver and treasures. The only thing that was lacking was talents.

Especially the low-level officials who manage the place and appease the people.

That's surprisingly rare.

This has something to do with Yang Lin's power composition. After all, he claims to be born in a reckless family. Not only the Guanlong family in the north look down on him, even the smaller and rich families in the south may not necessarily look up to him.

People's prejudices are terrible. Even if you show the strength to swallow the world, people will still be unable to turn their minds around for a while and regard you as a bandit.

What is Yang Lin's situation now?

In the Bamboo Flower Gang, or among the refugees, look for some people who can read a hundred characters, and let such people be low-level officials.

At least, this kind of people can understand the notices, understand people's words, and can still understand and implement the various policies issued by the palace.

For the time being, they can still survive, but as the territory grows bigger and bigger, if you let these unlearned guys occupy high positions, face various complicated situations, or intrigue with the gentry of various counties and counties, it will be difficult for them. up.

Of course, Li Jing took a fancy to the large number of infantry under Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling's command. The cavalry could attack all the way, but he didn't have time to sit down and defend the city to digest the results of the battle.

If you want to take down local forces like Li Zitong and Shen Faxing and occupy a vast territory, you can't do it without more than [-] infantry.

"Ziling, what is he going to do in Luoyang? Now that Wang Shichong is on fire, he might be in danger."

Although Li Jing joined later.

Maybe it's because they didn't know each other, he and Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling often played against each other and drank together.

Hearing this, I became a little worried.

"It's okay, it's not going to fight, or it's just picking up a person with an elite."

Yang Lin laughed and said: "That person refused to go to Mayi at the beginning, saying that he couldn't afford to lose him. If he was a small military officer's wife, he would be laughed at by others. City looting land, tell me, will she talk about it every day?"

"Red whisk?"

Li Jing was surprised, but also happy.

For a moment, the circles of his eyes were slightly red, and he suddenly bowed down: "I am willing to die for the king."

"Not that serious."

Yang Lin helped him up with a smile: "Hongfu girl is a hero among women, with extraordinary talents in literature and martial arts, she is also a general's talent on the battlefield.

It is understandable that she is impatient with pots, pans, rice, oil and salt, there will always be complaints, women all over the world are like this...

What I am curious about is that you have been a petty official for 20 years, and even your livelihood is difficult, but she didn't run away with others, haha..."

Li Jing does not look old, only in his 30s, but in fact he is already in his 40s, considered middle-aged and elderly.

How many 40 years are there in life?

Now hearing that he was able to get together with his old wife, command thousands of troops, and conquer great powers, Li Jing had mixed feelings in his heart.

He felt that deciding to report to Jiangdong on that day was undoubtedly the most correct choice in his life.

In that wild forest and wild village, he met Yang Lin, which made his life embark on another magical track.

A man should be like this, so that this life will not be in vain.

Thinking of the broken-mouthed woman at home, what would she say when she saw her current appearance?

Will he be still beating people with the soles of his shoes, scolding himself for being worthless, saying that following him is a bad luck for eight lifetimes...

Li Jing thought about it, and became a little crazy.

Chapter 363

Jingling and Pegasus Ranch are in decline.

Yang Lin and Li Jing acted separately, and with the momentum of thunder, they quickly expanded the territory under their command.

For the major families in the north, it may not be so conspicuous.

It hasn't been as shocking as the rebel army broke out again.

However, on the southern land, it was like a thunder blasting in winter.

Especially people in the world, and those who care about who belongs to the world and think they are superior.

When Yang Lin came, he rode fast and had no entourage. When he returned, although Wei Zhenzhen was still with him, he was followed by five hundred elite cavalry.

Of course, besides Wei Zhenzhen, there were also some more prisoners who were not planned.

Now, he can't be called a prisoner, he can be regarded as one of his own in name.

Shang Xiuxun posted a post to give her time to prepare a dowry, which is [-] horses, so she didn't follow to Jiangdu for the time being.

Lu Miaozi will stay in the ranch for a while, and will rush to Jiangdu immediately after a few days to take over the work of craftsman and establish the Ministry of Industry.

And Li Xiuning, Dou Wei, Li Gang, Shen Luoyan, and Li Tianfan, who had been deprived of martial arts, all followed the army.

Dou Wei and Li Gang are well arranged, they are mainly talented in martial arts, Yang Linzheng is worried that he has too few capable men, and these two just happen to enrich his shogunate.

You can only manage the place after returning to your heart in the future. Now, it is enough to make a plan from time to time.

But Li Xiuning and Shen Luoyan are rare military division-level talents, and they are very good at fighting.

Although they are women and beauties, Yang Lin has no prejudice against them.

He has not yet figured out how to use these two people.

Let's put it aside for now. In normal times, it's good to talk about the world.

At least, these two people look very seductive, don't they.

……

Xiaoxing all the way overnight.

One day, I was walking through a barren hill.

Old crows are everywhere, and on the withered grass wasteland, the corpses of refugees can be seen from time to time.

I don't know whether he died of military disasters or bandits, or starved to death.

The faint smell of corpses is always lingering in the nose, which makes Yang Lin really unhappy.

I just wanted to hurry up and go over this war-torn barren hills and wasteland early.

Just after driving three miles away, Yang Lin pressed the horse's head and stopped.

Listening carefully, there was a faint groan coming from the wind on the sunny side of the hill at the corner ahead.

It seems that someone is singing with a sword.

"...The ice and snow cut the skin, and the wind blows endlessly.

If you don't see people in a hundred miles, no one will be late.

Ascend the city to look at the pavilion, and fly the garrison flag.

The traveler ignored the opposition and went out to say goodbye to his family.

There are so many prisoners, weeping endlessly..."

After hearing a few words, Yang Lin called out bad luck with a bah sound.
