"Brother, let's run!" Xiao Lu instantly experienced the feeling of going from heaven to hell. He thought he was going to escape with silver, but the one who waited for them was actually a prisoner and tied up with a rope as if he was a livestock.

"Run, go up, you'll die the birds facing the sky." Dalu threw the knife in his hand on the shore, raised his hands and walked forward. So many powerful crossbows were facing them, let alone the water was not good, even if they could fly, it would be useless.

"Oh, that's right. You know the times and be a hero. Don't wait for your life. Otherwise, why bother with this? Come on, take out all the money first and put it in. Don't make trouble. You can earn it again if the money is gone. Life is the most important thing." Hou Bingxian looked at the two people who were honestly ashore and nodded with satisfaction. He was afraid that those who couldn't think of it would have to seek death for dozens of taels of silver. Hou Bingxian didn't like fighting and killing, it was too bloody.

On the other hand, at the water outlet in the north of the city, Yao Peiyu was the same. He brought a group of followers to catch those who escaped from the city one by one. They could be so honest, so naturally they were the elite loyal and brave army soldiers who were under the formation behind them and their sharp crossbows left them inextricably.

Sun Yu, who led his troops to support him, received news from the cavalry halfway through the way. Minqing County had already taken over the last nail on the south bank of the Minjiang River, and now the entire southern bank is in control.

As the news came, there was also the news that Chen Qiba led the people to attack Minhou County. Sun Yu immediately decided to lead the people across the river and go to Minhou County first.

A few days later, the good news came to Jiangning and the city was full of excitement.

Sun Yu, the Marquis of Zhenhai, defeated the enemy in Fuzhou. Currently, half of the city of Fuzhou is under the rule of the Tang Dynasty.

Li Yu's hand trembled with the news of the victory. This was not a front line, it was half of Fuzhou and the three counties. What made him even more excited was that Sun Yu was already preparing to cross the river to fight. If he took over the city of the state again, the revival of the Tang Dynasty was expected.

"Your Majesty, the imperial physician has heard news that the Empress Dowager's side, I'm afraid His Majesty must be prepared." The Empress Dowager was already old, and the last time the Empress and her second son Zhongxuan passed away one after another, it was a big blow to the Empress Dowager, and she became much worse afterwards.

Now that the weather is getting colder and colder, the empress dowager's body is getting worse day by day. The imperial doctor has tried many methods, but it is not satisfactory.

"I know, prepare for it, and go and see it later." Li Yu suddenly felt a little sad. When he first ascended the throne, he was anxious, thanks to the support of his mother and Ehuang. Now that he saw that the revival was expected, the two people he cared about the most were one who had passed away, and the other was soon. Perhaps this was called impermanence in the world.

Zhao Pu, who was far away in Kaifeng, also received news. He only knew that Sun Yu defeated Qian Renjun by the river, and he didn't know that the entire Nanban had been lost.

Although most of the gifts given by the South Vietnamese country were taken away by the officials last time, he still had to do this.

Since he suffered a loss at Jiangling City last time, Zhao Kuangyin has always felt that it was his strategic deployment problem, which led to Li Chuyun's defeat and death. Since taking Jiangling, Zhao Kuangyin has been deducing the strategy of attacking Nan Chu next year, striving to be impeccable.

"I'm sorry to report it to you, and I have important matters to meet the officials." Zhao Pu, as an important official of the Song Dynasty, was also the kind of Privy Councilor who could not command a single soldier. Zhao Kuangyin treated him with

I feel very relieved. I don’t have to report it and go straight to the inner palace.

"Sir Zhao wait, the young one will report it now." The little eunuch quickly bowed in. Although Zhao Pu was not very famous, in the eyes of the little eunuch, he was also a big shot in the clouds.

Zhao Kuangyin looked at the sand table in front of him and sighed. If the navy could not gain an advantage, the risk of crossing the river was indeed extremely high. If Murong Yanzhao's tens of thousands of elite troops were also crushed to Chu, the Song Dynasty would probably have no power to conquer.

"Old Zhao, sit down, what's the matter?" Zhao Kuangyin left the sand table, took a sip of tea, and lay on the couch. This deduction was too brain-consuming, so he had to relax.

"Your Majesty, the south is not calm again. The Zhongyong Army has raised all the elite troops to attack Fuzhou. The Nanyue Kingdom has found me here to complain again." Zhao Pu thought to himself, you have taken away all the gifts you gave last time, and it would be fine if you didn't let the Southern Tang Dynasty spit out Yongtai County. Now the Zhongyong Army is actually trying hard to seize Fuzhou. You have to give an explanation.

"The South Vietnamese Kingdom suffered another loss? Is it still so good to occupy the geographical advantage? How many troops did this loyal and brave army dispatch?" Zhao Kuangyin was overwhelmed. The envoys sent last time were not ashamed of face. The sky was far away and the earth was not reachable.

"On the bank of the Minjiang River, the opponent was attacked by a large-scale cavalry halfway through, and the army was defeated. Now I am afraid that I can only hide on the north bank. I don't know how long the three counties on the south bank can last. According to the letter from the South Vietnamese Kingdom, the opponent sent 80,000 troops, and they didn't know how many defenders they had in Fuzhou. However, this number is not very reliable. In the previous news, the loyal and brave army had only about 40,000 people." Zhao Pu also shook his head. The South Vietnamese Kingdom was too unpredictable and was beaten up by a military governor.

"Eighty thousand? I don't know what's up." Zhao Kuangyin didn't believe it. It was impossible to raise an elite army of 80,000 with just that little territory and population.

"When it comes to this cavalry, I'm just like, hey!" Zhao Kuangyin felt his chest was blocked. These were all elites he had finally cultivated. They were used to hold the box, just like Cao Mengde's Tiger and Leopard Cavalry. As a result, in the battle of Jiangling, he lost a small amount of money. Now most of the lost war horses have been under the command of the Zhongyong Army.

As a general who led the cavalry, ravaged the infantry, and led the infantry phalanx, and was ravaged by the Khitan and the Northern Han cavalry, Zhao Kuangyin knew how powerful those war horses could exert in the south.

"Otherwise, I will ignore it first? After all, Chu is the most important thing." Zhao Pu did not dare to interrupt in this matter. Li Chuyun was recommended by him, and he was jointly and severally responsible.

"It's not appropriate. It's because I want to attack Chu, so Nan Tang must be calmed down to avoid having delusions." Zhao Kuangyin felt that it was time to hit him well. After all, Nan Yue must be obedient and willing to pull Nan Tang's hind legs from behind and cannot ignore it, as it would be cold.

"How should I hit it?" Zhao Pu asked tentatively. Now Zhao Kuangyin's thoughts are becoming more and more difficult to guess. The key is that the loyal and brave army is high and the emperor is far away, so he doesn't even miss them.

"Cao Bin and Pan Mei, each leading 50,000 elite troops to Yangzhou and Hezhou respectively, and made a crossing of the river." Zhao Kuangyin felt that he did not have any plans to cross the river at the moment, but as long as he made a move, the Southern Tang would definitely not dare to gamble.

original

Because they were all in peace, Cao Bin and Pan Mei led a large army to station in Shouzhou and Chuzhou. Such a large-scale force would inevitably make the Southern Tang Dynasty panic.

"Come here, Master Xuan Dou Yi." Zhao Kuangyin did not intend to start a war directly to the Southern Tang Dynasty. It was just a gesture to dispatch troops and generals. He also had to send envoys to obtain the effect he wanted.

Although Dou Yi was on an envoy last time, although it did not achieve any results, Zhao Kuangyin thought afterwards that the conditions were indeed a little harsh and he could not blame him. Moreover, he raised his own funds last time and brought back the new carriage from the Southern Tang Dynasty. Unfortunately, the foolish people who were the generals have not yet copied it. Now all the Song Dynasty are proud of riding in the four-wheeled carriage from the Jianzhou Trading Company, and have made a lot of money in vain.

Whenever he thinks of this, Zhao Kuangyin wishes to ban the carriage, but now that he is used to riding a four-wheeled carriage, he can't stand it when he goes back to ride the broken carriage of the past. He has to give up.

Dou Yi entered the imperial study room and saw that Zhao Pu was also there, and he looked unhappy. How could he respect Zhao Pu, who considered himself a celebrity?

"Dou Aiqing, I have to ask you to go to the Southern Tang Dynasty again." Zhao Kuangyin treated the well-educated people with no shortage of courtesy, and invited the eunuchs to bring the brocade stool.

Zhao Pu looked at his legs standing upright and could only say inwardly, "Don't cry, baby."

"Turn a stool for Lao Zhao, do you have to ask me to explain?" Zhao Kuangyin found Zhao Pu's embarrassment and felt that he was indeed not doing this, so he quickly gave another order.

Zhao Puqian sat down with gratitude, only dared to gently put half of his butt. This posture was much worse than Dou Yi, who was old god.

"Your Majesty, I don't know what happened to the south this time?" Dou Yi bowed his hand. Since there was an order, he would definitely have to go there.

"It's the Sun Yu you met last time, the Zhenhai Marquis of the Zhongwang Army of the Southern Tang Dynasty, don't stop. Dou Aiqing, you said that the Southern Tang and Nan Yue are both my great Song vassal states. This person repeatedly attacked Fuzhou and provoked wars. I should come forward and let them calm down." Zhao Kuangyin thought for a moment, and he had to stand on the moral commanding heights, otherwise he would be despised by Dou Yi.

"It's him again?" Dou Yi felt a headache. The last time he went to Jianzhou was not a good experience. The first fine in his life was in Jianzhou. Now his reputation in Jianzhou has become a joke.

"I don't have to go that far, just go to Jiangning. I will issue an order to let Li Yu come to Kaifeng to defend himself. Why did he repeatedly provoke disputes?" Zhao Kuangyin looked indignant and had a stance to make decisions for his younger brother.

"Your Majesty, it was the last time that Nanyue provoked it, and they fought back in self-defense." Dou Yi thought, do whatever you should do, and you should not turn the black and white into the black. Even if you are the emperor, you have to do things within the rules.

"Well, last time, it was initiated by the loyal and brave army. And last time, the South Vietnam suffered a loss. The Southern Tang side must give an explanation." Zhao Kuangyin was a little embarrassed, but he was used to it. Most of these well-read poets and books like this and like to be serious.
