The Sui lord Yang Jianxing marched south to attack Chen, fearing that Luo Yi, who had occupied Beiping Province, would send troops to rescue him. He ordered Yang Fang (Zi Yichen), the king of Yingyang, to lead an army of 100,000 to block Luo Yi's southward support. Luo Yi received a report from the spies, and the Sui army divided into three major armies and went south to cut down Chen. Luo Yi already knew the news of his brother-in-law's death in battle, and now his father-in-law Qin Xu was still in Jiankang City.
At present, he had not received Lord Chen's call for help, and he should lead his troops south and intercept the rear road of the Sui army. Immediately Luo Yi passed on the order, leading an army of 100,000 to leave. Mrs. Qin had not heard from her father for a long time, and her heart was very worried. Luo Yi's army came to the Yingzhou territory, and Yang Yichen had already led the army to come. Yang Yichen's task was mainly to drag Luo Yi, so no matter how Luo Yi sent people to scold the war every day, Yang Fang just insisted on not fighting.
Yang Fang was originally from Yingzhou, and since he was a child, he loved knives, guns and sticks, and the young Yang Fang often saw righteous courage in the local area. He once lost his hand and killed guan cha, because yang Fang's family only had such an only son. Yang Fang's parents were worried that the incense would be cut off, so they had to ask Yang Fang to go out to escape the pursuit of the officials.
Yang Fang first ran to his uncle Zhang Qian's house, and Zhang Qian saw that it was not a way to hide it, so he arranged for Yang Fang to go to his friend Master Guangfa to learn art. After studying art with Master Guangfa for three years, Yang Fang was always worried about the comfort of his parents. The homesickness was self-evident, and master Guangfa also saw it. He said to Yang Fang, all my skills have been taught to you, and you will not be able to learn any skills when you stay on the mountain in the future. You go back, Yang Fangyi heard Master say this, knelt down to bid farewell to Master, and thanked Master Guangfa for his grace in teaching art.
Yang Fang, who came down the mountain to Yingzhou City, ran all the way home, and the neighbor saw that Yang Fang had returned. He said to Yang Fang, That year you beat the official messenger to death, the government came to your house to ask for people, and your parents were forced to die by them. Hearing this, Yang Fang roared like five thunderbolts. The neighbor also said that after your parents were forced to die, it was still a few neighbors who helped them handle their affairs. He immediately pointed out to Yang Fang the place where Yang Fang's parents were buried, and after Yang Fang thanked him, he came to his parents' grave.
Because he lost his hand and killed people, and his parents were tired, Yang Fang cried for a while and swore that he would definitely repay this vendetta. On the way back, Yang Fang got acquainted with the Xiangma of Taoyuan Mountain, the so-called no fight and no acquaintance, Yang Fang had a good martial art, and then he and Xiangma went to Taoyuan Mountain. The officials of Yingzhou City wantonly oppressed the people, and Yang Fang learned that the people were complaining and led a group of horses from Taoyuan Mountain to attack Yingzhou City.
The news of Yang Fang's rebellion in Yingzhou City reached Chang'an, and Yang Lin led a large army to suppress it. The people of Yingzhou City said that Yang Fang was persecuted by the local governor and had to be rebelled in order to avenge his father. Yang Lin xingbing came to Yingzhou and saw that Yang Fang was a rare fierce general. Eventually, Yang Lin influenced Yang Fang, who surrendered to the Sui Dynasty, and Yang Lin wrote to Emperor Wen of Sui after Yang Jian. Feng Yangfang was made the King of Yingyang and guarded Yingzhou for the Sui Dynasty.
Moreover, the news that the Sui army was moving south reached Jiankang City, and the servant Yuan Xian suggested increasing the strength of troops at Jingkou and Quarry. The two traitors beside Lord Chen Hou jumped out and said, We have the Yangtze River Graben, and it is difficult for the Sui army to fly over. Persuading Lord Chen Hou did not need to raise the army and mobilize the masses, it must be that the frontier soldiers deliberately said that the Sui army was three heads and six arms in order to ask for credit.
When Chen Hou heard What Jiang Zong said, he said that with the natural barrier of the Yangtze River, it was simply a fool's dream to want to cross the Yangtze River. The servant Yuan Xian wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by Lord Chen Hou, and then said to Shi Wenqing, a confidant next to him, asking General Shi to go to the town to guard Wuhu. After saying that, no matter whether Shi Wenqing stayed in the same place and was stunned, Shi Wenqing could still pat himself on the back, and it was simply a joke to really ask him to go to war.
Shi Wenqing secretly hated the servant Yuan Xian for giving himself a pit, in case the Sui army really came to attack, how could he resist. Empress Chen ordered Shangjiang Zong, Kong Fan, and a bunch of ministers to continue drinking and having fun. Regarding the imminent threat of national subjugation, it was completely unconcerned, and the helpless Shi Wenqing had no choice but to take orders.
Lord Chen Hou had heard that the Sui lord Yang Jian looked strange, so he wanted to know what Yang Jian looked like, so he sent an emissary to Sui to see the Sui lord Yang Jian. After the emissary returned to Jiankang City, Lord Chen Hou found a famous painter from the Southern Dynasty to draw the appearance of yang Jian, the lord of Sui, according to the emissary's dictation. After the painting was completed, Chen Hou ordered people to take the portrait to see, but this look scared Chen Hou lord half to death. He cried out that there was such a strange-looking person in the world, and he did not want to see him, so he immediately asked someone to take the portrait away.
It is said that the large army led by Gao Ying and Wu Jianzhang came to the mouth of the Han river in Guangling. Jiang Chao, the chief soldier who guarded Guangling, was scared half to death when he heard the spies coming to report that he did not expect the Sui army to come so quickly. Since Jiang Chao squeezed Ding Yanping away with the former commander-in-chief's double gun, he has changed the size of the original military officials over and over again. The ones who were planted were all their own confidants, but none of the generals under Ding Yanping were reused, which also made these generals hate Jiang Chao.
Jiang Chao was originally frightened when he heard the arrival of the Sui army, and then listened to the spies say that the flag did not look like Yang Lin's soldiers and horses. Hearing that it was not Yang Lin who led the troops, Jiang Chao's hanging heart also fell, not Yang Lin, what else was he afraid of. Immediately ordered five thousand troops to go to the Sui army, Gao Ying saw chen army in battle, and immediately ordered five thousand soldiers and horses for the vanguard officer Ling Huda to meet the battle. Gao Ying and Yang Jun, the King of Qin, led an army of 30,000 men to press the front in the rear, while the deputy commander Wu Jianzhang remained in the camp.
The two armies lined up outside Guangling City, causing Fox Da to rush to the middle of the field, holding a machete in his hand. Jiang Chao saw the situation and asked hurriedly, and the general went to meet the Sui army. Meng Guangyu, a confidant next to him, said to Jiang Chao, "The last general is willing to go and wait for me to go and take his head." Jiang Chao said, General Meng is careful, if the first battle is successful, I should play Your Majesty ming and promote you to deputy commander-in-chief.
Meng Guangyu was overjoyed and urged the horse to carry a gun to the middle of the field. Ling Huda pointed at Meng Guangyu and said, Come and report the name, Meng Guangyu laughed and said, I am Meng Guangyu, the vanguard officer of the Guangling General Army, before Chen Zhao drove. After the two exchanged names, they fought together, and Meng Guangyu raised the big gun in his hand and threw it at Ling Huda with all his strength.
This Meng Guangyu used a gun, did not play cards according to the routine, and did not stab the gun but used the gun as a knife. It turned out that Meng Guangyu was fighting for his own strength and wanted to defeat Ling Huda with one blow. However, he was blocked by Ling Huda with a knife raised his hand. After Ling Huda finished blocking this blow, he changed the direction of the large knife in his left hand, and the blade slashed in the direction of Meng Guangyu's neck. Meng Guangyu struck a blow but was blocked, and his heart was instantly shocked. Before he could look back, he saw the big knife coming at him, and immediately stood the big gun in his hand, and the weapons intersected and splashed around.
Ling Huda's strength was much greater than Meng Guangyu's, and although he blocked this knife, his arms were also numb. At this time, the two horses were wrongly pedaled, but Meng Guangyu had no intention of fighting again, and wanted to beat the horse and escape. When he made the fox reach the wrong horse, he slashed with a backhand, and the blade passed through the armor on Meng Guangyu's back, almost cutting him into two pieces.
Jiang Chao saw meng Guangyu fall from his horse and die, and immediately called the left and right generals, which general was willing to fight. The henchmen who came with him saw that Meng Guangyu was killed in two or three rounds, and he did not dare to fight. The generals who had followed Ding Yanping earlier had originally complained about Jiang Chao, and they did not fight at this time. Jiang Chao even asked several times, but no one agreed, and the Lord would do what he did.
Jiang Chao saw that no one was going forward, and his heart was irritated, and he raised his sword to shoot the horse to fight Ling Huda. Jiang Chao relied on his brother Jiang Ton, who was always a close subordinate of Lord Chen Hou, to be promoted all the way to become a general soldier. Although it is said to be a related household, Jiang Chao himself still has two brushes. Jiang Chao, who rushed up on his horse, did not say a word, raised his knife and slashed at Ling Huda. Ling Huda and Jiang Chao were both large knives, and the two large knives were facing each other, only listening to the sound of Dangdang.
Yang Jun, the King of Qin, watched the battle from behind, and couldn't help but clap his hands and applaud, making General Fox really superb in martial arts. In the blink of an eye, the two fought for more than thirty rounds without winning or losing, making Fox Da pretend to be invincible, shoot the horse and leave. Jiang Chao saw that Fox Da was leaving, and he chased after him on horseback, shouting that the thief would leave. Ling Huda saw that Jiang Chao was chasing close, and suddenly strangled the war horse reflexively slashed at Jiang Chao. Jiang Chao chased after him in a hurry, this sudden change, so that he did not have time to react, so that Fox Da's big knife was already coming at him.
Ling Huda slashed Jiang Chao to death with a knife, and Gao Ying, who was pressed by the rear army, saw the situation and immediately ordered the whole army to attack. Chen Jun saw that the commander was killed in battle, and the Sui army rushed to kill them, and all the brains fled to Guangling City. Gao Ying led the troops to the city, at this time several of the defending generals were originally Ding Yanping's subordinates, and when Yang Lin and Ding Yanping fought, Gao Ying came to be a lobbyist. Therefore, several people had also met Gao Ying and knew that Gao Ying and General Ding had a friendship.
Lian Lian shouted to Gao Ying, but under the city was Prince Gao of Anyang. Gao Ying said, it is the king, since he knows my name, he has not yet surrendered Kaesong. The general Luo Gan said, Lord Chen has no way, I am willing to submit to the Sui Dynasty, and I also ask the King of Anyang to ensure that I will not hurt the people in my city. Yang Jun, the king of Qin, urged him to go forward immediately, and the general could rest assured that our Sui army had come to cut down the people of the Southern Dynasty, how could it hurt the innocent.
Luo Gan ordered the soldiers to open the city gates and let the Sui army enter the city. Gao Yingbing attacked Guangling City without bloodshed, and immediately posted a list to appease the people. Luo Gan knew that the Sui army was about to attack Zhenjiang, and handed over all the Chen Army warships at the mouth of the Han River to Gao Ying. Luo Gan said to Gao Ying that the Zhenjiang Shou general was named Wang Yao, who was as timid as a rat. When the official Xiu Shu was sent, he would inevitably abandon the city and flee, and Gao Ying immediately let people write and ink to serve.
After Luo Gan finished writing, he ordered people to be sent to Zhenjiang and handed over to the defending general Wang Yao, who heard that the mouth of the Han River had been breached by the Sui army. The 200,000-strong Sui army was about to attack Zhenjiang, and Wang Yu thought to himself that Guangling City had fallen into the hands of the Sui army. How could I resist the Sui army, and immediately ordered my men to pack up their things, abandon Zhenjiang and flee to Jiankang.
Gao Ying led a large army to occupy Zhenjiang, and passed orders to the left and right, and the army first recuperated in Zhenjiang. Subsequently, scouts were sent to investigate, and liaison officers were arranged to investigate the situation of the other two armies.
