Jiangyin, formerly the Imperial Palace of the Southern Qi Dynasty.

At this time, the palace was acting as Wang Jing's residence. In the early spring, the grass was growing and the warbler was flying. The scenery of exotic flowers and plants in the palace was pleasant, and there were many maids in the palace.

After hundreds of thousands of troops crossed the south of the Yangtze River and gathered here, it became the temporary core of the Southern Expedition Army.

The palace, which was originally full of the gentle misty rain in the south of the Yangtze River, is now full of awe-inspiring evil spirit.

Outside the main hall of the palace, groups of guards, wearing armor and holding spears, guarded the surroundings, and no one dared to approach.

Inside the hall.

Wang Jing, dressed in ordinary clothes, was dealing with thick memorials with his ministers.

Among them, there are memorials transferred from Yangzhou, and there are also memorials closely related to the Southern Expedition...

As a privy envoy, Gao Yan mainly dealt with the military affairs of the 50 elite Chinese army after the Southern Expedition. Whether it was the allocation of food and grass or the replenishment of supplies, he was required to handle it.

Zhang Juzheng was in charge of the secret literature supervisor, helping Wang Jing handle the internal affairs transferred from Yangzhou.

As for Xie Hui, who served as a staff officer, and Gu Yong, the chief envoy of Zhenjiang Province, they also had their own tasks.

After coming to Jiangyin, no one is idle.

"Report! There is an urgent military report from the Zhenjiang camp!"

There was a report from outside the hall.

Wang Jing, Gao Yan and others were immediately attracted by the sound of the report. The urgent military information was conveyed first. After the guards at the gate of the hall asked for instructions, they immediately delivered the military report.

"Fu Youde's memorial... Could it be that he has already repelled Xu Da and captured the Jurong camp? It shouldn't be so fast!"

When Wang Jing took over the military situation, he still had some doubts in his heart.

On the military report, there are three red feathers, which represent the haste of thousands of miles.

Wang Jing quickly opened it, his eyes swept away, and his face changed slightly.

"His Majesty……"

Gao Yan looked over, Xie Hui and Zhang Juzheng were also a little curious.

"Look at it!"

Wang Jing sighed slightly, and handed over the military situation to Gao Yan.

"Xu Da set up thirteen camps in a row on the outskirts of the Jurong Camp. General..."

"Now that the Jurong camp is still there, our army has defeated the generals first. We don't know whether we won or lost this battle!"

After Gao Yan read it, he handed the memorial to Xie Hui and Zhang Juzheng.

After they finished watching, Gao Yan said: "Of course our army won! General Fu led his army to capture [-] camps of the enemy in a row, beheading nearly [-] prisoners, and threatened Jurong. If he can capture another camp , we can advance all the way to Jinling City..."

"This kind of record is naturally a big victory for our army... As for General Tang Shengzong's death in battle, it is fate. His Majesty will chase him down and treat his family and children generously!"

Gao Yan was the leader of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, although he knew a little about the generals and schools of the Huaixi Department.

But the main concern is Fu Youde. For the generals whose strength has not reached the ninth rank, they only know the opponent's name and general deeds.

Besides, the two sides didn't have much contact, so Gao Yan was very calm after seeing the battle report of Tang Shengzong's death.

In his opinion, death on the battlefield is inferior to others, there is nothing to say, and he is not a veteran like Mu Hong and Li Kaifang.

An eighth-rank general died in battle.

"Ah... pass on my decree, posthumously designate Tang Shengzong as Duke of Jurong County, and enroll his son in the Guozijian..."

Wang Jing gave the posthumous title.

According to the current rules of the Great Xia Dynasty, there are county and county dukes for dukes, and the limit of civil and military officials is dukes, and there are third-class marquises under dukes.Among them, if the civil servants are granted the title of marquis, they are Chengenhou.

A general who is named a Marquis is a mighty Marquis!
Dukes are mainly named after places, such as the posthumous Jurong County Duke of Tang Shengzong. Marquises are only divided into three classes, and they all have the same name.There is no difference between place names and auspicious names.

"Your Majesty has treated you so generously, Tang Shengzong must be grateful underground!"

Gao Yan sighed.

At present, the highest titles in the Great Xia Dynasty are Shen Yi's Sihong County Duke, and Fu Youde's Shouchun County Duke. Tang Shengzong's contribution is absolutely incomparable to these two.

But the others are all dead, and it's not the same as being knighted alive.

For example, among the founding heroes of the Ming Dynasty, only six were dukes alive, but more than a dozen dukes died in battle, such as Hu Dahai, Duke of Yue, and Liao Yongan, Duke of Xun.

The same is true for Wang Jing's succession to Tang Shengzong. He was promoted to a higher rank after his death in battle.

However, thanks to Tang Shengzong's contribution, it is definitely a favor for his son to get the title of Marquis!

Zhang Juzheng's expression remained unchanged. After Wang Jing finished speaking, he had already written the imperial decree.

"Now that the Zhenjiang battalion is coming to Jurong, in your opinion, do you want to send more elite soldiers to help out, so as to break through the Jurong camp as soon as possible?"

Wang Jing didn't feel too sad because of Tang Shengzong's death in battle, at most he was a little regretful.

What he is concerned about now is the current situation of the Great Xia, the Ming army, and the Southern Song Dynasty.

Gao Yan immediately said: "Jurong Camp is the important area to the east of Jinling. If there is any danger in Jurong, the eastern gate of Jinling will be open, which is very dangerous. Therefore, Jinling will definitely send more reinforcements!"

"In my opinion, the current situation of the Zhenjiang camp is very good, and it can divert Jinling's attention. What our army has to do now is to send the main force to the south and take the initiative to attack Changxing!"

"Changxing is at the mouth of Taihu Lake. The Military Intelligence Department has reported that the Song Army has dispatched hundreds of thousands of troops to the north. The most beneficial route for the Song Army to go north is to go to Huzhou and Changxing and attack Changzhou from the south!"

"According to the original plan, we first snatched Changxing, blocked the Song army's way to the north with some soldiers and horses, and then used tens of thousands of elite troops to stab Gaochun obliquely and cut off the Ming army..."

When Wang Jing was sitting in Jiangyin, the three major battalions took the initiative to attack.

The Southern Song Dynasty has already begun to mobilize the forbidden army.According to the spy's intelligence, the Song army will dispatch more than 50 soldiers and horses this time, which has already moved the bottom line.

With an army of 50, although the strength of the Song army is questionable, with the number of soldiers and horses, Daxia cannot be negligent.

Therefore, Gao Yan slightly revised the plan.

Prepare to transfer 20 elites to the south, and seize Changxing first.

Changxing and Huzhou were originally the territory of Liu Bi in the Western Han Dynasty, but were later annexed by Liu Song... After Da Xia captured Zhenjiang, Danyang and other places, he was eager to digest the rich land in the north, and neglected Huzhou in the south.

After Liu Bi escaped from Danyang, he joined the Southern Song Dynasty, and Huzhou and Changxing were also taken over by the Song army.

Among them, Changxing is located on the side of Taihu Lake, which is one of the two routes for the Song army to go north.

The other route is to go to the land of Jiaxing, but there are soldiers and horses from the Jiangdong camp along the many mountains and rivers to block the defense, and it is difficult for the army to pass through here...

"While dispatching troops to capture Changxing, the plan to capture Gaochun can also be carried out..."

Gao Yan said.

Wang Jing thought for a moment, then nodded in agreement with his plan.
