The cold wind has subsided and the warm sun shines brightly...

Li Jing had made up his mind and immediately led his army back to Huaibei to seize Xuzhou with Huang Chao. However, the two states of Chu and Hao were also very important to capture Chu and Hao. If he occupied Chu and Hao, he could defend the enemy south of the Huaihe River and directly threatened Yangzhou, making Xu Si stable, and Gao Pian could not go north. With such an important territory, Li Jing finally decided to leave Zhao Quan, the commander-in-chief of the Right Army, to station in Huainan, and to serve as the commander-in-chief of the Jianghuai camp, and to guard Shanyang, Chuzhou.

He was also appointed as the deputy commander of the Yingyang Army and the defensive commander of the Jianghuai Army and the general of the Haozhou Defense Envoy, and the general of Zhongli Town. He was appointed as the deputy commander of the Jianghuai Army and the defensive commander of the Chuzhou Defense Envoy, and the general of the Xuyi Town. Xuan Cheng, the chief of the Feixiong Army, served as the Sima of the Jianghuai Army and the envoy of the vanguard Youyi, and the general of the Dingyuan Town Envoy of the Haozhou. He was also appointed as the chief of the Anlan Army of the Navy, as the judge of the Jianghuai Army and the general of the Jianghuai Army, as the commander of the Anlan Army of the Navy, as the commander of the Jianghuai Army, Anyi, Yancheng Town General, Huaihe and Hangou Parade.

The five left-behind generals, Zhao Feng as the main general, controlled all the troops and horses in Huainan. Li Wei and Qiu Shengong were the deputy, guarding Zhongli, Haozhou and Xuyi, Chuzhou. Xuancheng guarded Dingyuan, Li Xu guarded Anyi, and Yancheng.

Li Jing left Zhao Yuan not many soldiers and horses. Zhongli, Xuyi, Shanyang, Dingyuan, and Anyi had 3,000 soldiers and horses in each city, totaling 15,000. In addition, Zhao Yuan had 3,000 mobile soldiers and horses. Li Jing only gave Zhao Yuan 18,000 people. The task was not light, and he had to defend the two states of Chu and Hao, relying on the three towns of Shanyang, Xuyi and Zhongli to fight against the Gaopian army in Huainan.

However, Li Jing had confidence in Zhao Hun and did not have many soldiers. Zhao Hun's attacks sharply, but he defended the city even more powerfully. In history, he had experienced the 200,000 Huang Chao's army to defend Chenzhou for ten months. Moreover, Zhongli, Xuyi, and Shanyang were all important military centers. In addition, Li Wei, Xuancheng, Qiu Shengong, and Li Xu who remained were also veteran generals of the Qin army, so Li Jing was relieved to lead his army to leave.

Li Jing wanted to keep more troops, but this time he went north and wanted to snatch Xu Su and two states back from Huang Chao. At this time, he had only 22,000 troops. In addition, the village soldiers of the four new troops mobilized south from Shandong, the total number was only 42,000 troops, which was really difficult.

However, Zhao Qing did not think that there were few soldiers. After receiving the order to stay, he confidently shot ** and said that this 18,000 soldiers were enough. Jing Xiang and Gai Yu both felt that Zhao Qing's words were a bit exaggerated and underestimated the enemy, and they were a little worried. However, Li Jing smiled and waved his hands without saying anything in the face of their private concerns. Regarding defending the city, there is probably no one who can surpass Zhao Qing in the Qin army.

Before Li Jing left, he ordered hundreds of boats to be loaded with stones and drove them to the Hangou Canal south of Anyi, and then drilled the boats, sinking all hundreds of boats into the river, blocking the canal boat path of nearly ten miles.

The road to return north was very long, and after the rainy season, the road was muddy and difficult to walk. Li Jing chose a water route to return north, and the navy warships transported the troops to return north one after another.

Li Jing, Meghan, Julie, and Gongsun Lan stood on the deck of the Tianlang, under the protection of the Navy warship, surrounded by several boats and fighting ships. The five-story building ship wrapped the ship's side with iron armor and painted with silver paint, making Li Jing's shipboard unique.

"This time the battle is good." Megan said that although the tall Megan is married, her huge chest seems to be growing up every day, and at the same time, she inherits her mother's skin color, golden hair, and the blue eyes of her mother's family. Since she got married to Li Jing, she has not changed much, and she has the same charm and unparalleled style. "Actually, I think that if we persist, it is very likely that this time it will be possible to win Shouzhou, Guangzhou and even Tuzhou in one fell swoop. In this way, the entire southern bank of the Huai River will be under our control."

"No." Julie said quietly, "You are just wishful thinking. Gao Pian is not casual. Whoever underestimates Gao Pian will inevitably bear the bitter fruits that come with it. The troops we went south this time were too few. Even if we could take advantage of the great victory of Huaiyin to swallow the empty Shouzhou and Guangzhou in one fell swoop, but what followed was that we had to divide our troops to guard the prefectures and counties. In the end, we would repeat Gao Pian's failure and be defeated by Gao Pian one by one. In the end, we would have to retreat to Huaibei, and it might even be impossible to defend Sizhou."

Julie's blue eyes are as weird as cat's eyes. Although on the surface she is as cold as an iceberg, in fact, few things can escape her observation. She is as close as a sister to Meghan, but the two are very different in surnames, one is unparalleled and the other is as iceberg as an iceberg. Meghan has a blonde hair and blue eyes, and Julie has red and blue eyes. Meghan is passionate, strong and quick in her movements, carrying a sword and a knife, and her tight leather armor never leaves her body. Julie has a large sleeve robe and a palace outfit, with elegant manners but a fatal danger.

Gongsun Lan disagreed.

"Gao Pian is old, and no matter how cunning he is, he is not as good as before." She chuckled and said, "I have received news that Gao Pian has built a new army of 20,000 left and right Moye Army in Guangling for his own Yajun Army, but he has appointed a gangster, the sages and villains Lu Yongzhi and Zhang Shouyi as left and right army envoys. And these two taels, which are higher than the salary and treatment of other Huai Army, are mostly gangsters and gangsters recruited by Lu Yongzhi and the two men. From this we can see that Gao Pian is indeed no longer the same as before."

Li Jing looked at the three of them and smiled and said, "There is nothing wrong on the road, so why not play mahjong together. If you lose, I will warm my bed tonight."

"What if you lose?" Gongsun Lan said with a smile full of **, biting her red lips lightly.

"If I lose, then we four will be sleeping together tonight." Li Jing laughed.

"Bah, you can think well." Gongsun Lan laughed and scolded. "If you want to lose, I will tell us the Three Kingdoms tonight."

"A word is determined." After Li Jing finished speaking, he opened his hands, held Megan with his left hand and held Julie with his right hand, and hugged them back to the cabin. Gongsun Lan laughed and scolded from behind and chased after him. The four of them entered the fifth-floor cabin and found the jade carved mahjong. The four of them began to play mahjong in the cabin.

The three women were determined to beat Li Jing, but this mahjong was originally made by Li Jing when he was free, and they played games for his mother and women at home. This rule was made by Li Jing. How could Li Jing be proficient in several women? As a result, after half a night, each of them lost to Li Jing. In the end, Li Jing asked to lose to pay the bill. Later, the coats on the three beauties were all gone, leaving only thin shirts and small clothes. The whiteness appeared under the light, and the indescribable **.

"I touched my bra, all of them are the Jiulian Treasure Lantern, I'm so lucky, I'm so lucky!" Li Jing slapped the second tube in his hand on the table with a snap, laughing proudly.

"Three ladies, after 88 years of service, give up and surrender. All three of you have to warm up my bed tonight, hahaha."

Meghan, Julie and Gongsun Lan looked at me, I looked at you, and after watching for a long time, I couldn't believe it. This Nine Lotus Treasure Lamp is the largest Hu card, a specific card type composed of a suit ordinal card according to 111234567**99. Any ordinal card in the same suit will be a sum card. This kind of bell is rare to see, but Li Jing suddenly became a fool, which made the three of them completely unable to turn over.

When they thought of what Li Jing said just now, if the three of them lose again, they would be sleeping together tonight, a few red glows appeared on their faces. Even though the three of them were Li Jing's women, even if the three women served one husband together, Meghan and Gongsun Lan and other women who were more open-minded, they could not help but be stunned at this time.

Li Jing was thinking about the chance tonight that he would have a chance to pay for the blessing of the Qi people who were sleeping together. Unexpectedly, after the awkward atmosphere, Gongsun Lan, who had always been open, escaped with a gust of fragrant wind. Then Megan ran away like a rabbit. In the end, Julie wanted to escape, but her wide robe and big sleeves affected her movements. As soon as she got up, she was picked up by Li Jing in the waist, hugged her in her arms, and hugged her towards the couch.

The red candle shines brightly all night, and the red waves are turned red, and they are short and fallen a few times, and they are lingering until dawn.

After dawn, Julie was abnormal and lay in Li Jing's arms like a tamed kitten, not thinking about getting up. As a result, Li Jing was so excited that she was stirred by her lazy expression. She pressed the beauty down early in the morning and did something shameless for the whole morning.

In the next few days, I took the warships to walk on the waterway. I first took the Hangou Canal waterway from Anyi to Shanyang of Chuzhou, then entered the Huaihe River, then entered Sizhou from Sikou, entered Sishui, and went all the way north, passed Suyu, and finally arrived at Xia Pi.

During the marching days of a few days, Li Jing was on the boat. Li Jing also relaxed himself rarely and handed over the military affairs to Jingxiang, Gaiyu, Li Zhen and others. Li Jing played mahjong with three beauties, Gongsun Lan, Megan and Julie, and occasionally played chess and checkers. He was a little happy for a while and was content. Every day, everyone hugged each other at night, but the only thing that made Li Jing feel a little regretful was that although one of the three beauties would accompany him every day, the expected four people would never happen, and even the three people would not be able to sleep together.

After the fleet arrived in Xia Pi, Li Jing also knew that this rare and relaxed journey was finally over.

After getting off the warship and boarding the dock, many military affairs came again.

As soon as Li Jing entered Xia Pi City, Lin Wei immediately asked for a meeting.

"After the Qi army captured Xu and Suzhou, the pseudo-Qi Xuzhou governor Huo Cun and Bianzhou governor Zhu Wen were joining forces to send troops to Songzhou, the pseudo-Qi Yingzhou governor Zhang Guihou, the pseudo-Qi Yingzhou governor Ge Congzhou, and the Suzhou governor Zhang Guiba joined forces to attack Haozhou."

At present, the Qin army has handed over to the new Xuanwu Jiedu governor Xin Xi. The new Xuanwu Jiedu governor was under the jurisdiction of Song, Ying and Hao, but Ying and Hao were all in Huang Chao's hands, and Xin Xi was under the jurisdiction of Songzhou. Xin Xi transferred from Datong to Songzhou and brought 5,000 tribes. In addition, the 5,000 new recruits Li Jing helped him recruit in Songzhou, Xin Xi had 10,000 troops. However, although Xin Xi was the world's number one swordsman, Songzhou was almost half surrounded by Huang Chao, and the situation was not optimistic.

Now Xuzhou, east of Songzhou, is occupied by Huang Chao, and Songzhou is surrounded on three sides. Zhu Wen and Huo Cun sent troops to Songzhou, and Xin Xi sent his nephew Shan Monk and his elders to break through to Sizhou to invite reinforcements.

Xin Xi had no son. Although the mountain monk and the elders were Xin Xi's nephews, they were actually like father and son with Xin Xi, and learned good swordsmanship with Xin Xi. After breaking through, they saw Li Jing and talked about the situation in Songzhou. Zhu Wen and Huo Cun had many soldiers. Although there were tens of thousands of soldiers in Songzhou, most of them were new soldiers and insufficient equipment. They begged Li Jing to send troops to seek help.

Li Jing nodded and said, "I should say that when I was in Chang'an, I had received Xin's sword from him to rescue him. Now, Xin's Songzhou has a siege, which is entirely because I asked the court to transfer him to Songzhou. Now there is a siege in Songzhou, and I should send troops to rescue him immediately for public or private purposes. I have worked hard and rest here for a while. I will say a little while, and I will rectify my troops and immediately send troops to Xuzhou."

While he was talking, Gongsun Lan came to report quickly.

"Sanlang, the Military Information Department suddenly received news from Huainan that the troops stationed in Hu Douzhou were not killed in the entire army, and more than 500 soldiers survived."

Li Jing was shocked when he heard this and asked in detail.

After hearing Gongsun Lan's detailed explanation, I realized that Wu Qian and Lin Song, Deng Huan and more than 500 generals were still there. Not only were they still there, but they also first received the help of Qian Liu, the deputy general of the Badu Shijingdu of Hangzhou. Later, they were rescued by Yang Xingmi in Luzhou. They were already out of danger. With the help of Yang Xingmi, they had arrived in Zhongli, Haozhou, entered the Qin army camp, and completely escaped.

"Qian Liu, Yang Xingmi." Li Jing chanted these two names several times in a low voice, and couldn't help but smile. "You said Qian Liu and Yang Xingmi were coming to Xiapi City, wanting to see me?"

Gongsun Lan nodded, "One of these two people is under Zhou Bao and the other is under Gao Pian. Is there any fraud among them?"

Li Jing just chuckled when he heard this, "I'm very interested in these two people. You can bring people to welcome these two people in person immediately. By the way, did they come together or separately?"

"I came separately, both sides don't know each other."

"Well, then send two teams to Xia Pi separately, so don't let them meet."

Gongsun Lan didn't understand why Li Jing was suddenly so interested in these two people. You must know that Qian Liu was only a deputy general of a village troupe in Hangzhou, Zhejiang at this time. Yang Xingmi was just a businessman. Although she had checked the details of the two before coming, she learned that Qian Liu was also a personal figure, the same age as Li Jing, had been a gangster and salt dealer, and later joined the village soldiers, and now became a deputy general of a town. This time Gao Bao attacked Liang Zhang. He commanded Hangzhou Eight Du to annihilate Liang Zhang and 20,000. Although it was a surprise attack, it was quite good to achieve this battle. But how could Qian Liu be just a small deputy general at the moment.

She also knew some of Yang Xingmi's background. She had also sold private salt in her early years and went to the mountains to steal. After being captured by the government, she became a garrison in Shuofang Town. When Li Jing defeated Li Keyong in the Battle of Daibei, Yang Xingmi led his men to capture a group of defeated soldiers in Shatuo. She once went to the town to receive rewards. She also wanted to join the town, but was rejected. Later, she became a deserter and returned to Huainan. She changed her appearance and became a merchant in Luzhou. However, she secretly recruited soldiers and trained a private soldier of thousands of people.

This time, Qian Liu and Yang Xingmi secretly released Wu Qian and five hundred captured soldiers, and the other one rescued Wu Qian and others. Now, they rushed to Xia Pi in person to see Li Jing, but their purpose was not simple.

Li Jing just chuckled and did not explain anything to Gongsun Lan. Li Jing was interested in Qian Liu and Yang Xingmi because he clearly remembered that in history, Yang Xingmi and Qian Liu, the two former salt dealers, were not conspicuous now, but in the future, they became heroes, separating the other side, founding the country and dynasty, and having a place among the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms.

Yang Xingmi later occupied Huainan, Jiangxi, Xuanxi and other places in Jiangdong, and called Wu. Although Wu was finally usurped by Xu Wen, he was still a hero. Qian Liu was not simple, and occupied Liangzhe and founded Wuyue. His Wuyue Kingdom was passed down until after the founding of the Northern Song Dynasty, he surrendered to the Song Dynasty.
