Qinjiang City, the seat of Qinzhou, is located on the edge of the Qinjiang River.
"This city was built in the Sui period, and the yellow-brown sand soil was rammed and square.
The city wall is fifty zhang long on each side, there are four city gates in the east and west, north and south, and there is a temple outside the south gate, which was built by Ning Mengli in that year. ” Standing on the bow of the boat, introducing Qinzhou City to Li Chao was Chen Zhiluo, the Duke of Hepu County, and next to him was Zhang Zhenzhou, the Duke of Huangguo.
Most people think that Li Jing was the first Tang general to pacify Lingnan, but in fact, this is not the case.
As early as the fourth year of Wude, when Li Jing had not yet pacified the southeast, Li Yuan had already decreed that Zhang Zhenzhou, the general of Zuo Wuhou, should be the head of the march of Huainan Road, and the general Chen Zhiluo should be the head of the march of Lingnan Road.
Zhang Zhenzhou is a wealthy family in Shuzhou, Huainan, originally a Sui general, Wude descended to the Tang Dynasty in three years, and Li Yuan awarded him as the head of the Huainan Road march to pacify Huainan.
And Chen Zhiluo is a wealthy family in Lingnan, like Ning Changzhen, Feng Ang and others, he is also a local chieftain, he is the leader of Duanzhou, and he leads seven counties such as Gaoyao.
During the Sui Dynasty, Yang Guang expanded the Xiaoguo Army, and he led more than 10,000 soldiers to recruit as a member of the Xiaoguo Army.
After the Jiangdu Palace changed, the Xiaoguo army returned to the north, Yu Wenhua and the army were defeated, Chen Zhiluo led his troops to descend to Wagang, and then descended to Tang in the third year of Wude.
Because he was the leader of Lingnan, he was appointed as the head of the march of Lingnan Road, and pacified Lingnan, much earlier than Li Jing.
At that time, the south was not quiet, thieves harassed the state and county, traffic was blocked, and Lingnan did not even know that the Sui room was located in the Tang Dynasty.
So Li Yuan ordered Chen Zhiluo to lead his troops back to his hometown, Jining Prefecture, announce Zhengshuo, and pacify the locality.
Chen Zhiluo and his soldiers just went south, and after more than a month, the Tang Dynasty officially started the battle of Pingxiao Milling.
It can be said that Chen Zhiluo is a pioneer.
However, the battle of Tang Ping and Xiao Milling can be described as too fast.
At that time, Qiu He, the governor of Jiaozhou, who had not heard of the Zhengshuo and descended to Xiao Milling, was leading his troops to Jiangling Road, but he learned halfway that Jiangling was defeated and Nanliang had been destroyed.
And Xiao Miao's Huangmen squire Liu Xun was ordered to take a little place and get more than 50 cities, but Liu Xun was also ready to return to Jiangling with these local troops attached to the Southern Liang, and it turned out that Xiao Mi had already surrendered.
So Qiu He and Liu Xun had no choice but to surrender to Tang.
At that time, Chen Zhiluo had not yet arrived home, and Li Xiaogong and Li Jing had already destroyed Nanliang.
The emperor's edict made Li Xiaogong the governor of Jingzhou and Li Jing as the governor of Guizhou.
Lingnan Feng Ang and others have joined the Tang Dynasty, and Chen Zhiluo didn't have to fight at all, so he returned to his hometown.
Duanzhou, that is, Zhaoqing on the border of Guangzhou in later generations, did not have to fight, returned to his hometown of Duanzhou, and Chen Zhiluo continued to be a assassin.
After a few years, it is also leisurely.
This time, Li Chao received the order to send troops, and did not transfer a single soldier from Jianghuai Lingnan, but transferred Zhang Zhenzhou and Zhang Zhiluo.
Chen Zhiluo is a native of Lingnan, and he is on the side of the imperial court, and Zhang Zhenzhou is not simple, it was he who attacked Liuqiu during the Sui Dynasty.
He also went south to Lingnan and participated in the attack on Linyi.
It can be said that the two generals Zhang Chen are still relatively familiar with Lingnan.
"The city of Qinzhou is now guarded by Ning Changzhen's son Ning Yu, but the city is empty, and there are only a few hundred people."
Li Chao looked at Qinjiang City and smiled as a hunter.
Ning Changzhen didn't expect the official army to arrive so soon, and it came from behind.
There was a panic in Qinjiang City, and Ning Changzhen attacked Jiangzhou and took away most of the soldiers and horses, leaving his son to defend the city with hundreds of people.
A small earthen city with a circumference of no more than two hundred zhang, in the eyes of the fangren, this is a big city, but in Li Chao's eyes, this is a small castle.
It is neither big nor high, and the garrison is still small.
Not to mention that Li Chao came with a strong ship and cannons, even if he only brought a few thousand people, this city would not be able to defend it.
The boat approached the shore smoothly, and there was not even a person to stop it.
At the head of Qinzhou City, Ning Ji stroked the battlements with his hands, looking at the huge ships on the river not far from the city, his face was pale.
"Is it a ship from Jiaozhou?"
A person next to him said, "It is impossible for Jiaozhou to have so many warships, looking at this, dozens of ships, at least five or six thousand soldiers and horses."
Jiaozhou has gathered so many soldiers. ” "Then these ships are from Guangzhou" The subordinates couldn't answer, Guangzhou, but they didn't hear any news from there.
If it was really from Guangzhou, it would be impossible for no one to inform them.
"Send a man out of the city and ask where they came from and who brought the soldiers."
Ning Yu called another person, "Go to Jiangzhou immediately to report to my father, and say that there is a fleet under the Tang flag to kill under the city of Qinzhou." ” The marines on the warship were disembarking in groups, and without the slightest interference, they disembarked easily.
In the distance, someone approached with a white flag.
Wang Xuance and Liu Renliangshi brothers, each with a group, are standing on the shore discussing how to take Qinzhou City.
"This is to surrender" "Didn't you say that the Lingnan people are fierce, why haven't they started fighting yet, so they want to descend first."

When someone brought it over, the man was wearing a silk robe and spoke a pretty good official language.
"If you want to surrender, hurry up and open the city gates, and don't talk nonsense."
The man swallowed his saliva and said cautiously, "Excuse me, where are you coming from, which general is under your command?"
Liu Renliang smiled, "You are Han" "The small ancestral home of Henan, with the Jin room to the south, later moved to Lingnan, has been more than 100 years."
"That's still a Han people, could it be that after staying in Lingnan for more than a hundred years, I forgot about the Central Plains Zhengshuo" The man scoffed.
"Tell you, this is the arrival of the king of Yue, go back and let the city open and surrender immediately, and give you half an hour.
If we don't open the city and surrender after half an hour, we will directly open the city gate with artillery and go back. ” The man hurriedly ran back to the city, but the city did not even dare to open the gates, so he hung a bamboo basket down and hung the man up.
"Do you know who is coming with the troops and where they are coming?"
asked Ning.
"They said it was the prince of Yue."
"Yue Wang Li Chao" Ning Yu was shocked.
Even if he is in Guangxi, Ke Ning knows Li's name very well.
Li Chao came in person, and it was over.
Who doesn't know that Li Chao is invincible and invincible.
"The lieutenant only gave us half an hour to take the test, so let's surrender."
"What can I do about this," Ning was as anxious as ants on a hot pot.
"Childe, why don't you run."
"Run, where to run" Ning Yu glared angrily at the guy who said to run, the Ning family's family members are all in the city, and now the army is coming to the city, they are not prepared at all, not to mention that they can't get out of the city now, even if they run out, they can't run far.
"Gather the men, women, and children of the city, and we will hold on to the end until my father returns."
Ning drew his sword and shouted.
Before he could finish speaking, a scream suddenly sounded.
Zhu Zhendong had already commanded the artillery on the shore, and fired at the city wall to test the artillery.
Ning felt his feet shake.
Someone exclaimed, "Thor is angry" Ning Yu still has some insight.
His face changed drastically, "Could this be the artillery of the Tang Army?"
"That damn Tang general, they said it would be considered for half an hour."
The man who went to deliver the letter shouted.
Under the city.
Zhu Tu looked at the city wall with only a piece of skin off the wall dissatisfied, "What the hell are you shooting, it doesn't work."
Aim at the city gate, why are you aiming at the wall?"
The artillerymen were holding various rulers and carefully correcting the angles, and there were gunners over there who were cleaning the barrels with cannons and were busy carrying shells.
"This time, I'm going to aim at it" Zhu Zhendong rolled up his sleeves and stood next to him and pointed at him.
The artillery commander dared to be angry and didn't dare to speak, who let this damn butcher be a disciple of King Yue.
Second shell.
With a bang, the shell hit the top of the city gate, and a corner of the city gate tower was blown off with one shot.
In the city, Ning Yu had already fallen to the ground.
His face was also cut by a piece of rubble, and his face was covered with blood.
His ears were buzzing, and he reached out to wipe his face, only to see blood on one hand.
Ning Yu felt weak and his feet were weak.
"Let the Tang Army stop."
He shouted, but several of his subordinates looked at a loss, how to make the Tang people stop "Playing the white flag, I want to talk to Li Chao" When the smoke cleared, Zhu Tu was still shouting for the artillery to aim again, but the artillery stopped.
"Go on" "I wish Captain, the white flag is raised on the head of the city, and there is no need to waste shells."
The artillery captain explained that guns are very precious, and one shot will lose the life of one round.
Li Chao came ashore, and Wang Xuance and the others pointed to the head of the city to report, "The Ning family has raised the white flag." ” "No, they've already lifted it twice, and I haven't opened the city gate, don't grind with them, keep bombing."
Zhu Zhendong excitedly said to the artillerymen, "Do you hear it, continue to bombard the damn, this time look carefully, bombard the city gate."

When we turned around, we took the city, and we still had to garrison it, and we had to repair the city wall by ourselves if it collapsed. ” A few more shots passed.
Ning Yu in the city is almost collapsing, and he has already raised the white flag, what else will Li Chao do.
"Open the gates."
Ning Yu finally gave the order helplessly.
Amid the sound of cannons, the gates opened.
Ning Yu came out of the city with a white flag.
Li Chao showed a satisfied smile, that's right.
A small Qinjiang city, he didn't want to waste more time.
At the end of May of the fourth year of Zhenguan, Li Chao led the fleet to break through from the sea, along the river to the city of Qinzhou, shelled more than ten rounds, and surrendered to Kaicheng.
Li Chao did not hurt a single soldier and captured the city of Qinzhou.
Under the city of Jiangzhou.
Ning Changzhen and Tan Dian, Feng Xuan will be under the city of Jiangzhou.
He was about to launch a final blow to Jiangzhou, and then went north to attack Hengzhou, Yongzhou, etc., and swept Guangxi Province.
A horse arrived in disarray, bringing shocking news that Li Chao led a large army to kill from the sea and had captured the city of Qinzhou.
His lair was attacked, and even his wife, son and daughter fell into the hands of Li Chao, what else is there to fight in this battle "Back to the teacher" Ning Changzhen roared angrily.
Tan Dian hurriedly said, "Wait, Jiang Zhou can go down at will, and it is not the best policy to return to the teacher in a hurry at this time."
It's better to take Jiangzhou first, solve the trouble, and then I'll wait for the division to go south. ” "Lao Tzu can't stay for a moment, Jiangzhou wants to beat you, I'll go back and recapture Qinzhou first."
Ning Changzhen shouted.
Feng Xuan said on the side, "I don't think it's better to do this, Tan Shuai will continue to attack Jiangzhou, and I will go with Ning Shuai to capture Qinzhou." ” "That's it" And so it was settled.
On the same day, Ning Changzhen and Feng Xuan withdrew their troops from Jiangzhou City to the south.
Halfway through the army, they got bad news again.
Li Chao relied on the advantages of the ship to enter the Hepu River from the sea and broke through the city of Hepu in Yuezhou.
Immediately afterwards, Li Chao sent troops and ships up the Jiuzhou River to take Luozhou. ” Only then came the bad news.
Li Chao has already captured Leizhou and Yazhou.
The southeastern states of Guangxi Road fell into the hands of Li Chao. t1706231537:
