Xie Hui came from a well-known family. His grandfather was a prefect and his father was a long history. He also had outstanding abilities, quick wits and sharp talents. In the original history, he served as a soldier, a thief, and a ruler.

While serving under Liu Yu, he made suggestions to attack the Later Qin Dynasty and made many meritorious deeds. Later, after Liu Yu proclaimed himself emperor, he was named a minister and leader of the army, and later became Liu Yu's trusted minister.

Generally speaking, his ability focuses on making suggestions and he is Liu Yu's confidant.

It's a pity that Liu Yu entrusted him to someone else.

Xie Hui and several other ministers who cared about life deposed the Song Emperor after Liu Yu's death and supported Liu Yilong.

In addition to plotting to usurp the throne, there was only one case in the entire history where the minister Gu Ming deposed the emperor, Yi Yin Huoguang.

The example of Yi Yin is too old to be mentioned again.

Huo Guang was entrusted by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty to assist Emperor Zhao of the Han Dynasty Liu Fuling. Although he had great power, he was very respectful to Emperor Zhao of the Han Dynasty, and the emperor and his ministers respected each other.

After Emperor Zhao of the Han Dynasty died of illness, Liu He, the Marquis of Haihun, was deposed. There were no bloodshed or casualties in the entire process of abolishing the establishment.

However, the independent and important ministers left behind by Emperor Wu of the Song Dynasty Liu Yu were not loyal to the Song Emperor at all. Once Liu Yu died, several independent and important ministers lost their restraint.

First, he killed Liu Yu's son Liu Yizhen, and then deposed Song Shao Emperor... Song Shao Emperor also died suddenly after being deposed.

Judging from the fact that they killed Liu Yu's son at will.

They were only superficially loyal to Liu Yu, but deep down they didn't take Liu Yu seriously at all.

After all, Liu Yu lived in an era when powerful families were at their peak, and Xie Hui came from a famous family, so it was naturally impossible for him to be truly loyal to Liu Yu, who came from a rough background.

"No wonder you have to hide your name and don't dare to go south to join Liu Yilong and Liu Yu!"

Wang Jing couldn't help but frowned after seeing the other party's message.

Xie Hui is not weak in ability. In terms of ability, he is indeed a first-class talent in history. However, his character does not seem to be very good.

He is different from Hu Weiyong.

Hu Weiyong was just passionate about power and formed a party for personal gain. As for conspiring to rebel... it was most likely the reason for Zhu Yuanzhang to eradicate the Hu party.

So as long as Hu Weiyong can recognize himself and change his behavior. Wang Jing can promote and appoint him at all costs.

According to the news from Shen Yi in Sihong, Hu Weiyong had the courage to serve in Baize County and had extraordinary political achievements. At this time, he had been promoted to the county magistrate...

As for Xie Hui, even Liu Yu, who was kind to him, had no real loyalty, and his character had stains... It couldn't be said to be stains, but it was the aristocratic families in the Southern and Northern Dynasties, especially the early days. They uphold the belief that there are no poor families of the highest quality, and they are extremely repulsive to those with poor backgrounds.

Even if Liu Yu becomes emperor, in the eyes of these wealthy families, he is just a lucky guy who succeeded.

Wang Jing, like Liu Yu, started from scratch.

When Wang Jing thought of this, he immediately felt repelled by Xie Hui.

Perhaps Xie Hui also realized this, so he hid his name. When Wang Jing asked for the opinions of the ministers, he seized the opportunity and took the initiative to reveal his identity and show his abilities.

In order to get Wang Jing's reuse.

"If these so-called celebrities who come from aristocratic families meet the ruthless Zhu Yuanzhang and show off in front of Emperor Hongwu, the whole family will definitely shed a river of blood!"

"The one who occupies Jinling at the moment is Zhu Biao. Zhu Biao is much kinder than Zhu Yuanzhang, but this is also compared to Zhu Yuanzhang. His methods are more or less the essence of Emperor Hongwu."

"It's enough to deal with those famous families in Jiangnan!"

Although Wang Jing regarded the Ming army in Jinling as his enemy, he felt inexplicably relieved when he thought that those celebrities in the Wei and Jin Dynasties who were known to be romantic, exhibitionist and dissolute were suppressed by the Ming army.

During the Northern and Southern Dynasties, hundreds of years of fighting broke out, and countless people were crushed to pieces. The root cause was the disaster of aristocratic families.

"If we capture Yangzhou and march to the Yangtze River, we can't believe that these aristocratic families who have been suppressed by the Ming army will eat pots of wine to welcome the king's army and take the initiative to lead the way..."

Wang Jing thought to himself.

As for Xie Hui, he has good abilities, so he will be kept by his side as a counselor.

No matter how much credit Xie Hui makes in the future, Wang Jing will not promote him to the position of chief officer of the three provinces. It is very likely that he will keep working in the Ministry of War.



With Wang Jing's order, Xie Hui quickly made a marching plan.

Wang Jing sent a clipper to pass the plan to Fu Youde and Li Kaifang, and then he adopted the plan, began to mobilize his bodyguards, abandoned Gaoyou, and led his army southward by boat.

October 25th.

The mighty Huai army navy entered Shaobo Lake, and Wang Jing personally led the civil and military officials and the army ashore through Shaobo Lake.

Twenty-sixth day.

Wang Jing led his army to join Yang Kan. The densely packed army appeared outside Yangzhou City.

At this time, after Wang Jing and Yang Kan reunited, they already had more than 100,000 troops.

The Huai army was in neat formation and full of evil spirits.

Originally there were 30,000 cavalry besieging the city, which frightened the empty Yangzhou defenders. Now the number of troops increased to more than 100,000 in an instant, and the defenders and generals were all frightened.

Some of the generals' eyes began to twinkle after seeing the army siege the city.

"Prince Huai came so quickly!"

In Yangzhou City, Su Wei was faced with a difficult choice.

He originally wanted to wait until Yang Guang was defeated before opening the city to the Huai army, but now that the city was blocked, he had no way of knowing the news about Yang Guang.

Moreover, Wang Jing arrived so quickly that he had no time to think about it.

"Master, the matter has come to this, we can only give up the small to take the bigger! Also, King Huai may not only have written a letter to the master, but other generals in the city must also have been persuaded by the Huai army to surrender... If they have different intentions, the consequences will be disastrous. !”

Uncle Cai, the old butler, advised.

Su Wei paced around the study room, thought for a long time, and finally made up his mind, "Forget it, Yang Guangda is gone, the morale of the defenders in the city has collapsed, even if they have the power to recover, they can't cover up the defeat..."

"At this point, I can only put my family first!"

After he made the decision, he immediately called his confidants, wrote a letter with his own hand, and gave the other party a warrant to quietly leave the city with the letter.

"Yangzhou! It is indeed a strong city. Sui Ting was able to dominate Huaidong based on this, and He Shangshu's contribution is not small!"

After leading the army to Yangzhou.

Let his generals set up camp, and Wang Jing led all the civil and military officers to a high place outside the camp to observe the situation in Yangzhou City. In addition to the civil and military men under his command, He Chou, who was previously captured by Yang Kan, was also brought with him.

The city of Yangzhou is majestic and extremely solid.

However, Wang Jing didn't have the slightest worry on his face and was still interested in talking to He Chou.

He Chou's face turned slightly pale and his expression was decadent. He just smiled bitterly when he heard this.

On top of the city.

Wang Jingneng saw fear on the faces of the defenders, and many of them were obviously civilian men recruited temporarily... It was true that Yangzhou's military strength was empty.

This is why Wang Jing is not worried.

"Report..."

"Report to the king that a messenger has come out of the city to ask for an audience!"

When Wang Jing heard this, he laughed immediately and said, "Call the messenger quickly!"

Bu Zhi, Yang Kan and others around him also realized the situation and were a little excited. Among them, He Chou looked miserable and kept shaking his head and sighing.
