Chapter 1010: Loyal and Righteous Warrior Yan (Sixth Shift, Ask for a Monthly Pass!) )


Yangzhou.

From Dengzhou to Yangzhou, Li Chao only spent five days, and the fleet marched smoothly, taking advantage of the wind.

However, when the fleet arrived at the mouth of the Yangtze River, people came to Hu Tuzhou.

It was Li Ji who was on Hu Tuzhou, and he brought bad news.

Yangzhou has changed flags.

"Emperor Taishang appointed Wu Shi Yan as the governor of Yangzhou, and Wu Shi Yan recruited troops and horses in Yangzhou, contacted the powerful clan, and now he is quite powerful."

Hearing the news, Li Chaozhi frowned.

He didn't expect that his in-laws, the warrior Yan, would actually get mixed up with Li Yuan again.

With a long sigh, he shouldn't have been.

Can't he see the general trend, even if Li Yuan's restoration can be lively for a while, it will still fail in the end.

It is impossible for him to turn the sky, this is not the time when the Xuanwu Gate has changed, and now it is the third year of Zhenguan.

Even because of the change of the law, there were many people who opposed the new law, and then opposed the emperor.

But the emperor still has the support of the military nobles, the support of the emerging merchants, and the support of many ordinary people, and the strength of these people is still strong.

For the time being, the Emperor Taishang was proud for a while, but the ensuing strangulation would besiege the Emperor and his rebels.

Wu Shiyan shouldn't be unable to see through this, he can only say that he has too close a relationship with Li Yuan.

In his early years, Wu Shiyan was just a broken household, making a fortune by going to the village to sell tofu, and later opened up the relationship between officialdom, became an official businessman, provided timber to Luoyang Palace, and made a lot of money.

Later, Li Yuan went to Taiyuan to take office, and Wu Shiyi intended to make friends and provided Li Yuan with a lot of financial support.

His investment was very rewarding, and later Li Yuan raised troops, he supported his family, Li Yuan won the world, and he soon became a high-ranking official.

In the change of Xuanwu Gate, the samurai was implicated and neglected for a while.

But because of his marriage with Li Chao, he was quickly reused.

In the Hanjing Rebellion, the samurai was the secretary of the Ministry of Industry.

"Samurai Yan, Samurai Yan, how come you live more and more and go back, there are some old feelings, can you always think about it" Li Chao shook his head and sighed.

Now that it has come to this point, Li Chao can no longer care about the relationship between his in-laws.

"Order, soldiers sent to Yangzhou" Yangzhou city head.

Standing at the head of the city, the Grand Canal is in the distance, and further south, the canal enters the Yangtze River.

Because of this canal connecting the Yangtze River and the Huai River, Yangzhou has become more and more prosperous.

Especially in the Sui Dynasty, because Yangzhou was the place where Yang Guang stayed for the longest time before ascending the throne, after he succeeded to the throne, he opened the canal, returned to Yangzhou, and finally died in Yangzhou, which made Yangzhou the most prosperous city in the southeast at that time.

Even after the Sui Rebellion, Yangzhou still continued to become the center of Jianghuai with his special position.

It is a large city of more than 200,000 people, and it is also one of the six major ports of the Tang Dynasty after the rise of commerce.

Guarding the mouth of the Yangtze River and communicating the Jianghuai Canal, Yangzhou has a large population and an important geographical location, especially the high fiscal and tax revenues.

After Li Yuan became emperor, he immediately sent his old brother Wushi Yan to guard Yangzhou.

Li Yuan knew that he was Li Chao's in-laws, but he still asked him to come to Yangzhou, which shows his trust in Wu Shiyi.

"Governor, the Huai army led by Li Chao is heading towards us."

A general reports.

Samurai nodded.

In fact, many people don't understand why he voted for the emperor, and he didn't know about this palace change after the incident.

But before the incident, he received a letter from Li Yuan, and then joined the Restoration Party and ran for it.

On the day of the incident, the prince ordered the ministers in Beijing to withdraw to the East Palace, but the warrior Yan went to the Daming Palace in the opposite way.

What is all this for Samurai Yan can't tell, maybe it's just because of the grace of the encounter.

Back then, he was a businessman and became friends with Li Yuan, an important minister, and Li Yuan did not just treat him as a businessman, but regarded him as a friend, which was quite rare and he would never forget.

When Li Yuan wrote him a handwritten letter asking this old brother to support him, he finally sided with the emperor.

Perhaps, this choice will make him ruined, but sometimes, he knows that it is so, and he does not hesitate.

The general behind him was a little nervous and said, "Can we stop Li Chao?"

The samurai stroked the battlements with his hands and did not look back.

Can he stop Li Chao Wu Shiyan is not sure.

The emperor crowned Li Chao as the king of Zhaojun, and also assigned Liaoxi to Li Chao as a fief, but now Li Chao is still leading the Huai army to march westward, it seems that Li Chao is also like him, he has already made his own choice, and will not waver.

Li Chao is a military genius, and he has not lost a single battle so far, which makes the generals in Yangzhou very nervous.

"Li Chao is good at fighting, but Li Chao only has more than 10,000 men, he comes from the water, and the main force is the imperial court sailor.

But after all, he doesn't have many soldiers, and we have Yangzhou Jiancheng to rely on, and it is not without the strength to fight.

It is not yet known who will win and who will lose. ” "But what if Li Chao doesn't come to attack the city, but only goes up the river and goes straight to Hanjing?"

"Don't we still have a barrage to the river, Li Chao's boat, and we can't fly over."

The captain turned around, and the samurai was still standing at the head of the city and looking into the distance.

He wasn't worried about the upcoming battle, he was thinking about his wife and daughter.

His wife Yang is his successor, middle-aged and widowed, the emperor personally acted as a matchmaker for him, and promised him the daughter of the former dynasty, and he also married a merchant to the golden branch and jade leaf.

He was thinking about his wife, Yang, and his three daughters.

Originally, he had already arranged it, but before the incident, he sent his wife to a manor outside the city.

But who knows, when the incident occurred that day, he was in Daming Palace, but his wife ran away to the East Palace with his three daughters.

Now he is a restoration party, but his wife and daughter are in the East Palace.

Because of this, there are still many people who suspect that he is from the East Palace.

The alarm bells rang loudly.

The city of Yangzhou was in a panic.

The name of the person, the shadow of the tree, the name of Li Chao's military god is powerful all over the world.

When Li Chao appeared on the river with the army of Qin Wang Huai, the restoration party in Yangzhou was already difficult to calm down.

On the river, a fleet of a hundred ships was mighty.

The white sails are dotted, and the scene is extremely spectacular.

"I can't believe that a hundred boats can be so spectacular."

The samurai pretended to be calm, and said with a smile to the nervous generals next to him.

A lieutenant's face turned pale, "I heard that Li Chao has five gunboats, and each ship has more than thirty naval guns, which is quite sharp." ” "It's not that exaggerated, the range of the naval guns is only more than 100 steps, and it is not much stronger than the catapult.

He has naval artillery, we have a slingstone, and we have a fortified wall, and we have the upper hand.

Samurai said.

The river breeze is blowing, and the sails are hunting.

Li Chao stood on the deck of the flagship Bashang, looking at Yangzhou City getting closer and closer in the distance.

"Teacher, will we be too risky, this canal is not as wide as the Yangtze River, and our fleet cannot be lined up, which is not good for me.

Why don't you just abandon Yangzhou City and go straight to Hanjing?"

Yangzhou City is very close to the Yangtze River, but it is not on the edge of the Yangtze River, and there are still dozens of miles away from the Yangtze River.

King Qin's Huaijun can just pass by.

"Yangzhou is an important town in the southeast, and he cannot be occupied by the Restoration Party."

Li Chao said casually. t1706231537:
