"Your Majesty, Gao Ji Chong is here, we should support him and let him continue to defeat the Song army." Privy Councilor Wang Zhaoyuan entered the palace when he got the news and told the emperor Meng Chang about this good thing.

"This boy is indeed very brave, what should we do?" Jiangling can be regarded as the gateway to the east of Shu. Once Jiangling falls into Zhao Song's hands, Shu will face the attack of the Song army at any time. If it is spent some money and can help him withstand the pressure from the east, it would be great.

"Send all money, food, and weapons to him, it's best to hit the other party in shame." Wang Zhaoyuan felt that the Song army was just like this. If Gao Ji Chong got their support, he might have a greater surprise.

Jiangling City was built on the Yangtze River. If the Northern Song Navy wants to enter Jiangling, it needs to pass the test of the Southern Tang, Nan Chu and Nanping three naval troops. With the current strength of the Northern Song Navy, it still does not have this qualification. Just one Nan Tang Navy is enough. Murong Yanzhao besieged the city, but it is only on three sides, and it is still unobstructed by the river.

Sun Yu, who was far away in Jianpu, received the news that Gao Ji rushed to the battlefield and killed Murong Yanzhao. He gave the other party support before, but he thought that he could delay the Song army for a few more days, but he did not expect that there would be such a big surprise. Li Chuyun's life and death were not important. What was important was that he made the surrounding forces' fear of the Northern Song Dynasty's imperial guards collapse in an instant.

Especially for the Southern Tang Dynasty, I believe the court should be very uneasy to get this news. After all, a few years ago, Zhou Shizong's southern expeditions, and the sixteen prefectures in Jiangbei were lost. The entire Southern Tang elite was vulnerable under the attack of the Northern Zhou imperial guards. The current Northern Song imperial guards are in line with the Northern Zhou imperial guards that year. The first battle was directly destroyed by a group. Even the general Li Chuyun, the leader, died on the spot. This news is no less than a big victory for the Southern Tang Dynasty.

As Sun Yu expected, Li Yu did not write poems and paintings, nor did he watch dances and listen to music today. Instead, he asked the imperial kitchen to make a few exquisite side dishes and drink alone in the house. What he had on hand was the memorial that the Wuchang Jiedushi had just arrived in a hurry for 800 miles. He was originally afraid of the Northern Song Dynasty as a tiger. The southern plains were only one prefecture and two counties, and the soldiers were only 20,000, and he could still achieve such a large amount. He was under the natural danger of the Yangtze River and had hundreds of thousands of armors, and he might not have no power to fight.

"Lao An, go and invite the King of Han here." Li Yu felt that drinking alone was a little boring, so he was ready to bring the King of Han here to accompany him.

"Your Majesty, then you have to wait until the King of Han comes before drinking." An Jinhai kindly advised, Feitian is too strong, if you drink like this, you will go to sleep before the King of Han arrives.

"I know, let's take a look first. King Han wakes me up." Li Yu nodded, and since he drank Feitian, he rarely drank other wines. Lao An was right, and he was indeed easy to get drunk.

King Li Congshan of Han didn't know about Nanping yet. His secret guards didn't have many people, and they were all concentrated near Jiangning Mansion. He was originally listening to the song in Wenxiang Pavilion, and when the eunuch came to report, he went straight to the palace by carriage.

"King Han is waiting for a moment, Your Majesty is resting. I'll go and invite him now!" An Jinhai was waiting outside the door. Seeing King Han coming, he bowed and went in. After a while, he came out to invite King Han in.

"My brother is here, sit down quickly. This memorial was delivered from Wuchang, look." Li Yu signaled An Jinhai to hand the memorial to King Han, and he poured a glass of wine first.

"Are the Northern Song Dynasty imperial guards so down and out?" King Han looked carefully twice, but he still couldn't believe it. This was the most elite cavalry among the Song Dynasty imperial guards, and it was as large as 6,000. In the Battle of Jiangbei, the Southern Tang army did not dare to go out of the city to fight under the impact of the Northern Zhou cavalry, and could only be defeated by each one.

"If this Gao Jichong, the general, can't be used by me, the Northern Song Dynasty is afraid!" Li Yu felt that this Gao Jichong could only obtain the little manpower of Jiangling.

This great victory. If the elites of the Southern Tang Dynasty were transferred to their commands, how many imperial guards would have to die in the Northern Song Dynasty to take down Jiangling.

"In this battle, the Northern Song Dynasty imperial guards were too careless, so they were defeated. From my brothers, I was most likely to attack the city with light cavalry and unexpectedly, but I didn't expect that the other party would catch a turtle in a jar." Although there was no clear statement in the letter, Li Congshan could still guess. After all, since ancient times, none of them have attacked the city with cavalry.

"Whether careless or not, this is a great victory. What should we do? We must do something and not cause any confusion for the Northern Song Dynasty. It is unreasonable." Li Yu felt that if Nanping could always attract the attention of the Northern Song Dynasty, his life would be much better. For his own good life, he should always make a difference.

"I think that when the river is blocked to prevent the Northern Song Dynasty from entering Nanping from the water, the reason is to suppress bandits. In addition, organize a group of merchant ships to enter Nanping trade. Of course, the price must be cheaper." This matter needs to be done, but it cannot be verbal. After all, the Northern Song Dynasty was nominally the sect leader of the Southern Tang Dynasty, and it would be almost done to secretly make trouble. I didn't expect that Shu Kingdom had never surrendered and didn't need to worry about these things.

"Yes, my good brother said this very well." Li Yu felt that this idea was good. Although Nan Tang was not well off now, he had to tighten his belt and support Nanping. It was much more comfortable than holding his head to beat him.

Gao Jichong was not idle either. He knew that the other party would not give up and strengthened the city defense every day. From a distance, he could see that the other party was building siege equipment to prepare for the near future battle.

"General, someone from Shu Kingdom is coming." Just as Gao Jichong was thinking about how to defend the city, his navy commander came to report.

"Shu Kingdom? Go and have a look." Gao Jichong was stunned. He knew what the Emperor of Shu Kingdom knew, but he had never dealt with each other, and he had a bad impression of each other because he stopped the Shu Kingdom caravan from going south.

The person who came was the confidant of Wang Zhaoyuan, the Privy Councilor of Shu Kingdom, and was named Shengmingtai. This time, he was instructed by Wang Zhaoyuan to send supplies to support one or two, and he also had a relationship with Gao Jichong.

"The official is Shengmingtai, and I have seen a general." Shengmingtai saw a young man from afar, thriving in his heroic posture, surrounded by his left and right, and walking towards him, he must be the famous Gao Jichong today.

"Mr. Shan has worked hard all the way, and I will be in a position of no way. I will be in a position of rudeness! I will be in a manner!" Although Gao Jichong was very arrogant, since he was marching with Zhao Song, it was not suitable for the rest of the forces to have a rift. This etiquette still needs to be in place.

"If the general is not there, it will not be hard work. Your Majesty of Shu and the Privy Councilor Wang Zhaoyuan, heard that the general defeated the Song army and admired him. He specially asked the subordinates to bring some supplies to work hard." Shengmingtai did not continue to go around the circle. Gao Jichong was already a young man and a military general, so it would be more appropriate to be straightforward.

"Why is this? I don't know if there are other requirements? I may not be able to do it." Gao Jichong asked immediately, showing his kindness to the point of being traitor or stealing. He had no intention of smearing and not admitting his account. He would rather ask clearly first and take it before taking it. If he really couldn't take it, he could only let the water bandits do it for him. The duck that was in his mouth could not fly anyway.

"If the general is not there, it's just a labor force, so how can we ask for it? The Song State is powerful, and we are all oppressed and can't breathe. Now the general has severely destroyed their prestige, so we should watch over each other." Shengmingtai was a little surprised. Didn't everyone say that Nanping is ugly? He felt that this was not the case at all. Maybe it was spreading rumors. The new general was still very honest.

"Since that's the case, I'm better obey my orders than respect. Lord Shan, follow me and take a step forward and go to the mansion to drink, and leave it to them here." It was really a waste of money. I just wanted to fight the Song army more hard, so I must accept it. Anyway, even if I don't accept it, the Song army outside the city will not retreat, and I will fight sooner or later.

"I thanked the general." Shengmingtai was quite happy. Now Gao Jichong is famous all over the world. He drank with him and was also a boastful capital when he went back. Even the Privy Councilor Wang Zhaoyuan should trust him more.

"You go to Jianzhou Commercial Bank and ask Manager Su to prepare. I will bring Mr. Shan to eat hot pot later and let him cook it by himself." Gao Jichong ordered his personal soldiers that he also had ingredients, but compared to what Manager Su made, the one in his mansion was always almost the same. People should always express that a good meal was the minimum treatment.

"General, this Jianzhou Commercial Bank?" Sheng Mingtai looked surprised. He either went to your mansion or went to a restaurant. What does this commercial bank mean?

"You don't know that the manager of this business is very good at cooking and eating. I will go to eat often. They don't want to operate this externally and have no intention of being a chef. They can't eat it at any time." Gao Jichong patted Shengmingtai's arm, you're benefiting from it.

"This Jianzhou Commercial Bank is the business opened by the Jianzhou Governor in the south?" Although Shu is remote, Sun Yu has a great reputation. Before Gao Ji rushed to the battlefield to kill Li Chuyun, the most popular young man in the world was Sun Yu. Not only was his poems very good, but his reputation spread throughout the world, the key was also very good. I heard that Zhang and Quanzhou have been taken back to the Southern Tang Dynasty. This is something that the Southern Tang Dynasty wanted to do for many years but had never done.

"Oh, Lord Shan knows you?" Gao Jichong was quite content. Both of them are now famous all over the world.

"How can I not know him? He is a top-notch young hero like a general." Shengmingtai quickly flattered. By the way, Sun Yu had three states and his strength under his command should be far superior to Gao Jichong, and he is located in the south and the sea, so his life is much more comfortable.

"That's my brother, haha, let's go." Gao Jichong was happy. He used to feel that he was not as good as Sun Yu, but now that he has done this big thing, he can finally stand side by side.

Manager Su from Jianzhou Trading Company quickly made arrangements when he received the news. While arranging people to buy meat, he took out the copper furnace to clean it and prepared to make a fire.

"I have seen the general, and the arrangement has been almost done. The general will follow me." Manager Su stood at the door and waited. Seeing Gao Ji rushing off his horse, he quickly approached to salute.

"Manager Su, this is Shanda from Shu Kingdom, this is Manager Su from Jianzhou Trading Company." Gao Jichong introduced the two.

"The little Su Lie has seen Mr. Shan. If Mr. Shan can come, the bushes will shine brightly." Manager Su opened his body and led the two in.

"Manager Su, I have recently received a batch of good wine from Shu, called Feitian. Is it the business of a business in your business?" Shengmingtai was thinking on the way, always feeling that the Jianzhou Commercial Bank had dealt with him. Later, he finally remembered that someone gave him two jars of wine a few days ago, saying that it was an amazing good wine, and it was the product of this Jianzhou Commercial Bank.

"Mr. Shan said very much. My business originally planned to open a semicolon, but because the road was not up, it was delayed. For the time being, I only did some simple sales and cooperated with some merchants in Shu." Originally, Jianzhou Business Company planned to open a semicolon in Shu, but later Sun Yu felt that this was unreliable. If Jingchu was occupied, it would be a question whether the goods could be left behind. In that case, it would be useless to open a semicolon. It would be better to contact merchants in Shu directly and sell the goods directly to them.
