Chapter 228 Going South to Destroy Chen(1/2)
After venting, Yang Jian returned to the palace again and admitted his mistake to Queen Dugu that he should not be a mistress or a housekeeper.
Queen Dugu also apologized, saying that she should not kill the little bitch and took the initiative to recruit some beautiful concubines for Yang Jian, but the subtext remains unchanged. It is okay to raise a concubine, but it is not possible to raise an outdoor room.
The landlord collected three or five dou per mu of land, and they were all thinking about taking concubines, and they were the emperor.
Sure enough, men become bad when they have money, and women become bad when they have money.
Men are prone to wandering when they have money. Some men have become "bad" because of money, while others don't even want their wives.
When a woman becomes "bad", it often means that she will soon be rich. Through this "bad", she will destroy other people's families and even destroy her own body. She will soon be able to get along with the rich. Even if she can't get along with the rich, she can "follow herself"! It seems that women who have become bad are very rich!
There are clear cases in the palace.
It was like when the Northern Zhou emperor Yuwen Yun was the crown prince, he was a virtuous and good man; but after becoming emperor, he became drifty and became bad.
Therefore, Empress Dugu also disliked the scumbags very much; she was extremely disgusted with the favor of his wife and deprived her concubines and became the first concubine, and directly bullied the wife very much.
In the eyes of Queen Dugu, a minister who even a good husband is unqualified must be not a good minister.
After apologizing to each other, we got along harmoniously again.
Not long after, the engagement was made.
The fiancée is the Xiao family of Lanling. Not long ago, she was a princess from Xiliang. She has a prominent family background, outstanding appearance and virtuous personality. She is simply a copy of Queen Dugu.

In other words, when Queen Dugu chose her son, she mainly used herself as a template to choose.
As for the shortcomings, no discovery has been made yet.
After the two met, they got along well.
...
In March, Xiang Yu left Chang'an and headed for Huaibei.
At the same time, a large number of troops were transferred to Huaibei, with large troops gathering and food and grass gathering.
More than 500,000 troops, if there are more than one million people transporting food and grass, they gather north of the Yangtze River. This is a long gathering process.
Xiang Yu estimated that starting from the plan, to the gathering of food, intelligence exploration, and the start of the attack, it would take at least three years.
It takes three years to complete the preparation work.
It takes three years to launch a large army attack.
If you summon troops like Fu Jian, you may have fallen apart before you attack the enemy.
The army was gathering, and Xiang Yu was patrolling various places in Huaibei, often in various situations.
Gao Ying accompanied him, patrolling the situation in various places, checking for omissions and filling in the gaps.
At this moment, he is the commander of the Huaibei Military Region, and Gao Ying is the chief of staff of the military region.
"What's the situation in the south?"
Xiang Yu asked.
Gao Ying said: "Over the years, we have been harassing and constantly attacking the east and west, causing the Chen Dynasty army to be exhausted!"
Xiang Yu asked again: "What is the chance of winning in this battle?"
Gao Ying said: "Of course I will win!"
Xiang Yu said: "What a pity, I feel a little sympathetic to Chen Shubao. My subordinates don't want to fight and want to surrender. They only have an army of 300,000, but they can't command!"
Gao Ying sighed and said, "The people's hearts are dispersed, and the team is hard to lead!"
Xiang Yu nodded.
It was as if Deng Ai destroyed Shu and Deng Ai went to Chengdu. The ministers of Shu did not want to resist and surrender.
At the same time, civil and military ministers from all over the State of Chen did not want to resist and wanted to surrender.
No wonder Chen Shubao was addicted to the beauty of the harem and did not want to interfere in the government affairs, because the people were dispersed and the team was difficult to lead. This situation was like the 1949th century. The Communist Party may have a regiment, which would defeat the Guo Army.
...
Dongdongdongdongdongdong!
Not long after, the Sui Dynasty's 500,000 troops launched an attack along the Yangtze River.
On other battlefields, they were gradually in a melee.
Xiang Yu led a large army to cross the Yangtze River directly, quarry and land in Taoye Mountain, waiting for labor here.
Chen Shubao felt uneasy and sent 30,000 troops to attack.
The Sui army had more than 30,000 cavalry, and 7,000 infantry; the Chen Dynasty had more than 30,000 infantry, and most of them were infantry, with fewer cavalry.
The two sides fought together, and soon after, the Chen Dynasty army was defeated.
The Sui Dynasty troops crossed the river one after another, with as many as 50,000, and successively occupied the cities outside Jinling.
Jinling is isolated.
In the court, Houzhu Chen wanted to send troops to attack and attack the Sui Dynasty army without firm foothold. But in the court, everyone was silent.
Houzhu Chen sent a large army again and failed again.
When Xiang Yu led the army to Jinling City, the city gate automatically opened and many ministers knelt down to greet him.
Xiang Yu sighed and rode his horse into Jinling.
It took less than a month from crossing the river to capturing Jinling City.
The battle is over.
The fierce battle is really just two.
But in these two battles, the intensity of the battle is not high at all.
The Sui army came prepared, and the army was elite and had strong attack power; but the Chen Dynasty rushed to summon troops and horses, all of which were a group of mobs.
The Sui army was dominated by cavalry, the Chen Dynasty was dominated by infantry, and field battles were dominated by field battles. If the Chen Dynasty gathered three times its strength, it might win by then.
Unfortunately, I can’t do it even if I don’t say one to three at a time.
This battle is better like fighting less with more, fighting the mob with elite forces, fighting the slow with fast, and fighting the infantry with cavalry.
This battle has no technical content.
However, Xiang Yu liked it very much.
The less technical the battle, the more I like it.
Ask Han Xin if he likes a classic battle where he defeats 100,000 or an ordinary battle where he defeats 200,000 troops.
Han Xin must have said it was the latter.
...
When he arrived in the dry well, he pulled out Houzhu Chen and two concubines.
"What a pity!"
Xiang Yu sighed.
"What a pity?" asked Houzhu Chen.
"What a pity, Chen Ba's generation of heroes was a tiger father who gave birth to a dog son!" Xiang Yu said: "The world has finally been unified, and we can live a peaceful life!"
"The people who come to protect the palace and protect King Chen, and do not insult the queen, concubine, etc. The entire army is not allowed to plunder or kill. If anyone kills, they will be killed without mercy."
"Warning all generals to be obedient. If they are disobedient, they will be killed without mercy!"
"Seal the treasury and take over the picture album!"
"Later, register the meritorious soldiers and give rewards!"
Xiang Yu directly gave an order.
These days, the military discipline of the army is not good. It is almost normal to capture cities, directly rob, force sexual intercourse, kill, etc. Many marshals directly encourage soldiers to massacre cities or rob, to boost morale.
"yes!"
Gao Ying nodded and began to give orders.
The Military Supervision Office began to act, and some soldiers were plundered and caught and killed on the spot.
Three hundred heads were cut off in a row, and demonstrations were conducted directly in the city, and finally hung them on the city wall, so many soldiers' looting stopped.
Somewhat ridiculous!
In the destruction of Nanchen, the battles lasted for one month, with less than 3,000 soldiers casualties.
But in order to strictly enforce military discipline, he directly killed 300 people.
Many soldiers looked at King Jin, respectful and awe-inspiring.
Xiang Yu was very satisfied.
As a marshal, you should love soldiers as your son, but you are not a proud son.
