Chapter 344 Convergence
The current situation of the Sui army is very dangerous. The reason for this situation is that the Sui court is too famous. After all, it was a unified dynasty. When other princes expanded, they would subconsciously regard the Sui army as their primary enemy.

The other princes didn't say anything.

Wang Jing, who developed in Sihong, after hearing that Yangzhou was taken by the Sui army, regarded the Sui army as the primary enemy to pacify Jianghuai.

The second is Yang Guang. Maybe he is really talented, but his reputation has been slandered, but it is true that he does not regard the people and his subordinates as human beings.

The famous ministers and generals left by Yang Jian, such as He Ruobi, Shi Wansui, Yang Su, and Gao Ying, these people are the top talents in any era, and Gao Ying is also the talent of Xiao He and Zhang Liang.

It is easy for Yang Su to command hundreds of thousands of troops, He Ruobi and Shi Wansui are also top generals.

But these top talents were either forced to death or given to death by Yang Guang.

There is also a westward tour of Zhangye Qinghai, which caused more than half of the palace maids and soldiers accompanying the army to freeze to death, and even the princess was lost.

In the construction of the Sui Ten Palaces, Daxing City, and Jinyang Palace, every time such a large-scale project was built, hundreds of thousands of people died of starvation.

The most serious thing is the three attacks on Goguryeo and the construction of the Grand Canal... Tens of millions of people, the Sui Dynasty, which was in its heyday, was forcibly destroyed by him.

People all over the world say that it is too much to keep one out of ten, but there are still people who don't keep one out of five.

Yang Guang is very smart. It is not appropriate to say that he is a faint king, but a tyrant is well deserved.

Such a king, in the later generations of the Yuan World, there are still people who whitewashed him, saying that he built the Grand Canal to provide relief with work, conscripted the people to dig the canal and paid back their wages...

Those who laundered Bai Yangguang may not have known that, although relief with work sounds simple, it did not take shape until the Song Dynasty.

Before the Song Dynasty, people who encountered natural disasters either fled from the famine, or received relief and tax relief. There had never been such a disaster relief strategy.

The scholars, scholars, and generals of various dynasties who came to the mainland of China are not blind.

After they knew that the current emperor of the Sui army was Yang Guang, they had already given up the idea of ​​taking the initiative to join the Sui army.

Who is willing to defect to a notorious king of subjugation?
To be honest, if Yang Yong appeared in Yangzhou, Yang Shuang wished to abolish Yang Guang's throne directly and help Yang Yong up.

Even if this move violates Yang Jian's taboo, he will not hesitate.

The Sui army seems to be monolithic at the moment, and it has continued to expand externally before. In fact, there are internal and external troubles, and any accident will be a big trouble.

"I hope the saint will come soon!"

He Chou followed with a sigh.

Yang Shuang said: "Your Majesty and Duan Wenzhen are in charge of matters in Yangzhou. The north depends on you and me. This king is responsible for guarding Gaoyou. The defense line of Yinggou, the leader of Jiezi in the north, is based on you. You must not let the Huai army cross Ziyang. Baby ditch!"

Gaoyou City is personally guarded by Yang Shuang, who believes that with his own ability, he can block the Huai Army navy in Gaoyou Lake and cannot go ashore.

The north of Gaoyou's line of defense against the main force of the Huaijun North Road relied on the natural dangers of Jieshou and Ziyinggou.

Ziyinggou connects Gaoyou Lake and Sheyang Lake, while Jieshou is located on the east side of the intersection of Gaoyou Lake and the canal.

The gully runs through this place, and the water surface of Gaoyou Lake in the west of Jieshou is very shallow, which is a large swamp, and the right side is also a large swamp extending from Sheyang Lake.

Only one sentry post needs to be set up on the left and right sides to prevent the passage of the army.

Originally, it was only a small place in the source world, but it became a natural barrier at the junction of the canal and Gaoyou Lake in the mainland of China.

As a top craftsman, He Chou's specially built defense system has armed this natural danger to the teeth.

Just like when the Huai army faced the former Qin army in Wuhe, they specially set up a defense line behind a big ditch, waiting for the former Qin army to take the initiative to attack, and easily harvest it.

He Chou said: "Don't worry, my lord. I personally built ten god-breaking crossbows, which are designed to break the generals' qi. Together with the various equipment fortresses in Ziyinggou, they can hold back for at least three months."

"it is good!"

Yang Shuang showed a gleam of joy on his face, and patted the battlements, feeling better at last, he looked up at the vast cloudless sky, and said: "I have a feeling that in just three or four months, the world may come back again." Change!"

"At present, our army is in danger, but this is only temporary. As long as the world changes and affects the surrounding forces, our army may be able to trap the dragon and ascend to the sky, and even sweep Huaidong..."

He Chou also laughed.

Although he didn't believe what Yang Shuang said about the changes in the world, but Yang Shuang, as the general in the north, could lift his spirits and boost his confidence, which would be beneficial to the morale of the army.

When they were in Gaoyou.

Wang Jing had already headed north with his warship, crossed the small islands on the lake, carefully crossed a bay, and then went to the north, the water surface began to become shallower visible to the naked eye.

There are many swamps and silts on the north side of Gaoyou Lake, and a lot of silts have crossed the swamps and become dry and hard, forming the prototype of a small island.

There are endless reeds growing in the large swamp, which seem to cover the sky.

Such waters are only suitable for small boats.

Like the warships built by the Huai Army, it is impossible to pass through.

"This is Jieshou... Originally, there were only [-] soldiers and horses here, but recently more than [-] soldiers and horses went north from Gaoyou and deployed defenses along Ziyinggou... The defense system of Ziyinggou was built by He Choudu !"

"It is said that in order to hurry, the Sui army forced more than 30 young and strong to build a fortress, and built a bastion on the Jieshou embankment..."

The fleet did not continue north.

Instead, approaching Jieshou, Wang Jing and all the civil and military officials began to observe Jieshou's situation.

Han Xizai still followed Wang Jing, introducing the information here to everyone.

Among the people on board.

Only Bu Zhi and Han Xizai know more about this place.

As the leader of the Huai Army, Wang Jing has countless things to deal with and places to pay attention to every day. Regarding the intelligence from the Military Intelligence Department, he just glanced at some less important information.

Not much is known about the more detailed situation.

At this time, Han Xizai, who is called the Minister of the Ministry of War and is actually a close friend of the Secretary Lang, is needed to investigate doubts and fill in the vacancies.

While listening to the other party's introduction, Wang Jing observed it himself.

His current vision and ability to command troops are already comparable to first-class generals. From a distance, he can detect that Jieshou and Ziyinggou are heavily defended and very tight.

If you want to break through, you have to lose the lives of a large number of soldiers.

What's more, this place is different from Baoying's city walls. It's like an ordinary city. Generals like Fei Ju, Lu Zhongheng, and Yang Kan attack the city in person. If the enemy army doesn't have strong ones, it will be difficult to defend.

And the defense line in front of him is based on a ravine with a width of ten or twenty feet, even for a strong general like Yang Kan, it is difficult to cross it for a while.

Not to mention ordinary soldiers.

Wang Jing pondered for a while, and began to think about how to break the Jintang defense line set up by the Sui army in Gaoyou and Jieshou.

"Your Majesty, General Jianwei and General Yang are here!"

At this moment, Han Xizai paused and reported.

Wang Jing and all the civil and military officials immediately shifted their gazes and saw more than a dozen fast boats approaching rapidly. On board were Li Kaifang, Yang Kan, Liu Wei, Wang Maozhang, Lu Zhongheng and other generals.

Ever since Li Kaifang went to Shanyang to set up the northern army, Wang Jing hadn't seen them for several months.

Except for Li Kaifang and Yang Kan.

It was the first time for Wang Maozhang, the surrendered general, to come to see him.
