In Huainan, Li Shenfu's water and land army advanced towards Xu Si.

Wherever there are waterways, you can see the Tang Dynasty naval army.

In order to further expand the advantages of the navy, Li Shenfu also ordered the civilians to broaden the waterway.

Since the destruction of Chen Zhang and Wang Jingren, the Liang army has not been established. Taiyin Yu Tianyou died of injury and illness in Suzhou in the seventh year.

In fact, since the recovery of the four prefectures of Huai Shang, the Liang army has been in a comprehensive decline in Huaibei. The Tang army has led the army but has not been triggered, but it is only for the sake of overall considerations.

Li Shenfu's family was all from Jianghuai, the third person in Huainan after Gao Pian and Yang Xingmi. All the soldiers in Huainan were willing to serve him.

When Zhu Wen was alive, he also tried to instigate Li Shenfu to be the King of Huainan.

Li Shenfu hung the head of the envoy of Bianliang on Shouzhou City.

When Huainan was in a drastic change, he had many choices, but he chose the most difficult path and defected to the Tang Dynasty.

He did not let down the Tang Dynasty, nor did the Tang Dynasty let him down.

Li Ye entrusts the entire Huainan military affairs to him. The father and son are all important generals. Needless to say, their honor and favor have become the newly rising generals in Chang'an.

"How did Jiang Yin respond?" At this moment, Li Shenfu had led hundreds of light cavalry to gallop in Huaibei, inspecting the situation in the north.

The Liang army arranged heavy troops in Suzhou to strengthen the defense in southeastern Bianzhou.

Jiang Yin was originally the adopted son of Wang Chongying. Zhu Wen broke into the river and killed the Wang brothers, surrendered Zhu Youqian, Jiang Yin, Wang Zan and others for his own use. Because Jiang Yin had political talents, he moved to the deputy envoy of Xuanhuiyuan and the governor of Xuzhou.

However, Jiang Yin has political talents, but he is also ambitious and has always been very close to Zhu Yougui.

Zhu Youzhen was in power, and was worried about internal and external troubles. He either Li Cunxu invaded or rebelled in the mainland, and he had no time to deal with Jiang Yin.

"Jiang Yin said he was willing to return to the Tang Dynasty, but thieves rose up in the territory and asked for the title of the governor of the Jieshi Army." Wu Yuan, the commander of the Imperial City Department, headed the way.

Li Shenfu frowned, "This person is really ambitious."

The governor of the Invasion Army was the vassal of Shi Pu. Shi Pu had the merits of pacifying Huang Chao and encircling Qin Zongquan, but what did Jiang Yin have to do?

"Insatiable!" Li Shenfu sneered, "Don't he know that this is the way to die?"

"He knew, but Hedong General Zhou Dewei swept Shandong and appointed Zhu Youqian as the governor of Pinglu. This man took grain from his desire, and the last general found out that Jiang Yin was also actively contacting Zhou Dewei." Wu Yuandeng said with a smile.

Xu Wen, the Huainan Transportation Commissioner, said: "It is better to come from the important towns in Huainian, Xuzhou, and quickly enter Shandong, seize Yan and Yun! Then visit Jiang Yin."

The current situation is that the Tang army and the Jin army compete for Shandong.

This is also the main purpose of the emperor's order to advance north by Li Shenfu.

Li Shenfu looked around everyone and said, "No, since Xuzhou is an important town, it must be in the hands of our army. Otherwise, if Jiang Yin had two hearts, our army would not be able to return to Huainan by the army. When Zhu Wen destroyed, Pu took Xuzhou and then it would be able to sweep Shandong. If Jiang Yin was not a minister of the Tang Dynasty, he would be the enemy of the Tang Dynasty. The Xuzhou Siming belonged to him and could not be held by others!"

Xuzhou was the ancient Pengcheng. Xiang Yu destroyed Qin and slaughtered the world, and Pengcheng was the capital.

Wu Yuandeng glanced at Xu Wen, "The governor is the authority of the state. It is easy to give people, but it is difficult to recover. Once this example begins, the generals in the army will be filled with their hearts. Now that the revival of the Tang Dynasty is about to begin, how can they be coerced by a small Jiang Yin?"

Xu Wen also bowed and said, "I am ashamed."

Li Shenfu didn't care, "As long as Xuzhou is in hand, even if Zhou Dewei takes Shandong, he can still use this place to visit Shandong again in the future! He told me that the army would immediately set off and enter Xuzhou north!"

All parts of Huaibei have long been infiltrated by the Tang army.

Since Zhu Youzhen ascended the throne, the Bianliang court was in chaos and the military leaders in various places acted recklessly, levying miscellaneous taxes, labor and heavy taxes, sweeping over like a flood. The people could not bear it and began to flee to Huainan.

Survival is always the top priority of people in this era.

The Tang army in Huainan advanced northward in a large scale, and was actually welcomed by the people along the way, and local forces also actively cooperated.

Just arrived at the city of Xuzhou, the prefectures and counties south of Mount Tai took the initiative to join.

This made Jiang Yin very embarrassed. Zhou Dewei was still in the Ziqi area. Although Zhu Youqian joined the Jin army, no other local forces were there.

Dai Siyuan's remaining troops were still resisting stubbornly, and Yunzhou's tooth general Wang Yantong still led the remaining troops to resist Zhou Dewei.

Wang Yantong is the younger brother of Wang Yanzhang's clan and is from Yunzhou.

In short, Zhou Dewei's journey south was strongly obstructed.

Jiang Yin's Xuzhou became an isolated city, and reinforcements from Bianliang were impossible.

He originally wanted to use Xuzhou as political capital, a military governor, etc., which could be discussed completely.

I asked for a price to pay back the money.

Unexpectedly, Li Shenfu, a warrior, did not give him any face at all, and he came up with a knife, which made him unable to get out of trouble.

Outside Xuzhou City, flags and flags are evaded in the sky, and iron armor is on the sun.

There are always war drums and shouts that shake the sky and the earth.

The Xuzhou army was just nervous and went up to defend the city, but found that it was just the Tang army's training.

As time goes by, more and more Tang troops gathered under the city of Xuzhou.

Finally, on a clear day, a heavy stone of 30 kilograms hit the south city tower of Xuzhou, and the Tang army's war drums sounded like a shocking sound.

"The scholars and people in Xuzhou obeyed the orders, and the royal army of the Tang Dynasty punished the people and attacked them, and they refused to conquer the ministers. Those who resisted the stubbornly destroyed the city will be slaves. Those who know the current affairs will be rewarded..."

A series of books of persuasion were shot into the city, and a huge storm soon caused.

The Hexi area of ​​Niliang was located in the Central Plains such as the Bian and Song dynasties.

When Zhu Wen conquered Xuzhou, he fell down like burning, killing, looting and looting.

It is already a well-known fact that Bianliang became a broken ship. The people of Xuzhou were so stupid that they were buried with Zhu.

Even the few martial sons recognized by Jiang Yin always had cold eyes.

After persuading surrender, he threw a stone feather arrow.

Jiang Yin couldn't stand it anymore, or Xuzhou had no intention of resisting at all, but it was just Jiang Yin's own selfishness.

The Xuzhou city gate finally opened.

Li Shenfu breathed a sigh of relief. It was not that he could not conquer Xuzhou, but that he was burned with both jade and stone under his sword and weapon. Xuzhou was the number one city in Huaibei, with a population of more than 200,000, with abundant money and grain, and a strong city. In Li Shenfu's idea, Xuzhou was the base for the next battle.

After Jiang Yin surrendered, he was immediately controlled and sent to Yangzhou in the rear, far away from the foundation.

Wu Yuandeng looked at Jiang Yin's distraught look and couldn't help but sneer in his heart. He didn't want to eat the toast. If he had less thought, he would return to Tang as soon as possible, and he might have the opportunity to establish himself in the court in the future.

After all, Xuzhou was well managed by him.

Now he is frightened, and at most he will be a magistrate in the future.

After the Tang army controlled the entire city, they built camps outside the city, moved the surrendered troops outside the city, eliminated the old and the weak, and obtained 10,000 elite troops.

Li Shenfu treated him with the specifications of the auxiliary army, and the Xuzhou army was overjoyed.

The news reached the city, and young and strong soldiers flocked to the city.

He was taken over by Xu Wen as the auxiliary army.

Since the end of the Sui Dynasty, the ground in Shandong has been unruly, with loud horses, bandits, local thieves, and private salt dealers rising one after another.

Wang Xianzhi, who brought the Tang Dynasty to the end, was both from Shandong.

Li Cunxu's strategy of taking Shandong first was very clever, but it was by no means possible overnight.

Zhou Dewei's army fought on the front line, and the horses and thieves robbed food, grass and supplies in the rear, which made the Jin army unable to overcome them and could not advance to Yun and Yan.

Zhou Dewei returned to the army to clean up, and the thieves avoided the mountains.

Eight hundred years ago, the bandit Zang Ba of Mount Tai, and Sun Guan was an existence that even the hero Cao Cao was afraid of.

Bandits and private salt dealers are promising professions in this era.

Zhu Wen was also a thief at first, pulled up a group of people, and then defected to Huang Chao.
