Sun Yu held Wei'er in his arms and sat down on his lap. They had known each other since they were young, and now they have been together for more than ten years. It is really not easy for them to reach this point.

"Husband, it's still daylight." Being stared at by Sun Yu, Zhou Wei panicked and buried her head in Sun Yu's chest.

"What are you thinking about? My husband just wants to see you look good and look at it twice more." Sun Yu lifted up Zhou Wei's hair on the temples. In two years, it will be fully grown, and I'm afraid the moon-shy flower will not be able to compare with it.

of.

"Husband, by the way, I'm here. I have something to ask for." Zhou Wei raised her pretty face and said if she liked it, she might as well take a few more glances.

"But it has something to do with King Pingyang?" Sun Yu smiled. Apart from this, he didn't seem to have anything to ask for.

"I can't hide anything from my husband. Zhong Yu said that he doesn't want to be the leader of the country and wants to study the art of studying things." When Zhou Wei said this, she thought of her sister. Unfortunately, she left early. She had to take care of such a child.

It's thorough.

"Shit, he is the only one who knows how to study things? Everyone can study the method of studying things thoroughly? Just put his little thought into it. If we lose, we will retreat to Da Liuqiu Island, and he will become a rich man.

Okay. If you win, I will keep him safe, and the idle prince will have no worries about food and drink for the rest of his life." Now that things have happened, Sun Yu has no intention of hiding his ambitions. King Pingyang is a banner to use.

Let everyone have a transition between each other, and it is impossible to really help him conquer the world.

Li Zhongyu has been following Fang Hao and the others around these days, and Sun Yu inquired about it. He found out that this guy had no talent at all and was just a cheat. The most he did was pay money.

He probably also wanted to imitate King Liu Shao of Jinjiang and live a carefree life, but he was only seriously interested.

"That being the case, I will thank you husband on behalf of Zhong Yu." Zhou Wei's heart was shattered. With her husband's status, speaking out was considered to be a guarantee.

"You and I are husband and wife, so why should we not thank you? In the past, the queen and I also had a kindness, and we should always repay the kindness. But in this world, everything is difficult to grasp." Sun Yu squeezed Zhou Wei's hand, and he

Why don't you want everything to go smoothly and live a stable life, but fate has played a trick on people, and you have reached where you are now step by step.

"Don't worry, husband, I don't have any great talents, so I'll just stay at home." Zhou Wei plucked up the courage to put her arms around Sun Yu's neck and looked up at Sun Yu.

"Just guarding the house? You have to spread your wings." Sun Yu gently tapped the tip of Zhou Wei's delicate nose. Now he has two wives and three concubines, but he only has one daughter, Wanxi. It really doesn't make sense. He should work hard.

.

"This is not what I have the final say. No matter how hard you work, you will gain something..." After Zhou Wei said this, she squeezed into Sun Yu's arms.

Sun Yu was very excited, but she had to suppress her anger. The messy footsteps outside the study told her that someone was coming.

The person who came was none other than Xiao Huan, still holding Wan Xi in her hand. Before knocking on the door, Sun Yu and Zhou Wei opened the door and came out.

"Husband, Madam, it's time to have dinner!" Xiaohuan took a look at Zhou Wei's face, which was white and rosy, delicate and shy, and immediately guessed that this Mrs. Wei'er was really pampered.

"Come Wanxi, daddy hugs you!" Sun Yu stepped forward, picked up Wanxi, and walked forward immediately.

Sun Yu made various deductions for many days in a row, but the final result was not optimistic. Because he lacked actual control over the states of Yue State, he had too many problems in recruiting personnel and allocating materials, and was unable to compare with the Southern Tang Dynasty.

And the materials he currently controls cannot last until the moment when the Southern Tang Dynasty is wiped out.

If you want to control these states and counties, the best way is to use your own people, but you can't go too far, otherwise it will inevitably cause the backlash of the old forces, causing his decrees to fail to reach the places.

Now under Sun Yu's rule, among other things, the number of people who are qualified as swordsmen and pensmen is definitely far superior to other places. As long as these people are spread to all states and counties, no one will be able to make a big splash under his nose, but this will take time.

Just when Sun Yu was at his wits' end, he received a letter from Xu Yi. There were only four words on it: Use defense instead of attack!

Sun Yu suddenly understood why he had been thinking about how to capture Jiangning. The ones who were most anxious at the moment were Li Congshan and the others. If they wanted to prove their legitimacy, they had to deal with the King of Pingyang supported by Sun Yu, and

Shezhou was in hand, and Lin Zhaoqing's army was stationed there, like a knife on his waist, making him panic and uneasy.

He can completely strengthen the city's defense, consume the opponent's combat power, and take the opportunity to free up his hands to reorganize the place.

What he has to do now is to increase his troops in Huzhou and Shezhou. These two places will put great pressure on the Southern Tang Dynasty, making them have to be extremely vigilant and have no energy to think about other things.

In the spring of 965 AD, Li Zhongyu, the eldest son of the old Southern Tang lord Li Yu, ascended the throne as king in Hangzhou City, and his country was named Qi.

King Qi was the title given to Li Sheng, the martyr of the Southern Tang Dynasty, before he ascended the throne as emperor, which made it clear that he was the orthodox one.

On the day Li Zhongyu ascended the throne, he issued a proclamation against traitors, rebuking Li Congshan for betraying his country and seeking glory, humiliating his father and harming his brother, and vowed to kill him to avenge him.

At the same time, Sun Yu, the Duke of Fujian, conquered the world, and for his meritorious service, he was granted the title of King of Zhongyong and made a general of Tiance, commanding all the troops of Qi in the Northern Expedition.

The spring rain continued to fall, and Li Congshan looked at the raindrops dripping from the eaves. He had not stopped to watch like this for a long time.

"Your Majesty, this is an urgent report from the Xin'an Army!" Now, the biggest celebrity in this palace is Li Xin, the former steward of the Han Palace, with greater authority than Xiao Yi or An Jinhai before.

many.

"Old Li, you said that Gu is not a mean person. Why are they not willing to talk to Gu?" Li Congshan took the envelope from Li Xin's hand. If Sun Yu and the others were willing to join hands with him, so what about Da Song?

Even if his brother is released, as long as he controls the military power, what is there to fear?

"Your Majesty, everyone is ambitious. This loyal and brave king is no longer what he was when we first met him." Li Xin said it very tactfully. He conquered the territory by himself, but you want to pick peaches?

It is inevitable to be willing to give in.

If Li Yu were here, he would probably be able to suppress his ambitions. After all, he has great righteousness. He now holds King Pingyang in his hand. No, the current King of Qi's reputation is not weak at all.

"Is the ambition to make this world continue to be in ruins?" Li Congshan felt uncomfortable. If he hadn't recommended it himself, how could he be where he is today?

That incompetent nephew is also a bastard. He actually allowed a foreigner to get the throne, and also brought in an admiral named Tiance. Was that just a random title?

Who was the last general Tiance? It was Li Shimin of the former Tang Dynasty, the second emperor of the Tang Dynasty. Is he clearly preparing to abdicate in favor of someone more worthy?

In fact, Li Congshan really guessed it right. The matter of adding General Tiance was really Li Zhongyu's own intention. He told everyone unambiguously that this was the next King of Qi or the emperor of the country. He wanted to embrace it.

Take advantage of your thighs and don't disturb your purity.

"What does Sun Yu want to do?" Li Congshan read the letter and slapped it heavily on the railing.

Kuang Zhonglei's letter was asking for help. In one or more events, the Southern Tang Dynasty dispatched 30,000 elite troops to Shezhou, and the Xin'an Army recruited 20,000 new soldiers on the spot to intensify training. The total number of troops was 50,000, but it was still not enough.

"Your Majesty, what is going on?" The spring plowing has not started yet, so what's going on?

"The State of Qi has sent more troops to She County, with more than 10,000 troops and horses, but the exact number is unknown." Li Congshan was worried. Lin Zhao from She County

Qing already had more than 50,000 elite troops in hand, and with this batch of reinforcements, there were 70,000 troops. Their manpower in Jixi and Yi County of Shezhou was stretched thin.

The most hateful thing is that She County has sufficient food and grass, but their logistical pressure is much heavier.

"The two armies in Zhennan and Fenghua were ordered to dispatch 10,000 horses each to station in Jixi and Yi County respectively in case of unexpected events." The Divine Guard Army has already deployed 30,000 horses. Any further deployment will not be conducive to local stability.

And if the guards are too weak, who knows whether the Song Dynasty will take advantage of the situation to attack.

As for the troops of the Zhaowu Army, he did not dare to transfer them because Chen Decheng, the military governor of the Yong'an Army stationed in Jianzhou, and his son Chen Qiba were Sun Yu's generals.

This Chen Decheng is a slippery man. He expressed congratulations so early that it was hard for people to find fault. However, Li Congshan did not dare to believe him no matter what, but he also did not understand his true intentions. He did not dare to force him, so he could only maintain

status quo.

As for Zheng Yanhua, he personally led 60,000 elite troops to garrison Xuanzhou to face Chen Qiba in Huzhou.

Today, in addition to the Second, Fifth, and Ninth Regiments of the Zhongyong Army, the Huzhou garrison also has the First and Second Regiments of the Shence Army led by Han Qingfeng and Wu Xingquan. Together with the original Huzhou City Defense Army, the total strength is as high as 60,000.

.

The Third Regiment and the Sixth Regiment of the Zhongyong Army were stationed in Xiuzhou to prepare for the Suzhou Dragon March.

The First Regiment, the Seventh Regiment and the Cavalry Battalion are stationed in Hangzhou, which is relatively weak. The battle has not yet started, and most of Sun Sandao's baggage regiment is still stationed outside the city, but its number is quite large.

The Southern Tang Dynasty claimed to have hundreds of thousands of elites. With the departure of Sun Yu and Lin Zhaoqing, and the large number of elites annihilated by the Song Dynasty in Jiangning, they were now stretched thin and could only recruit young men on a large scale to train a new army.

Under the rule of the Southern Tang Dynasty, the population base was large and there was no problem with the supply of troops. What was lacking was equipment. If there were not enough weapons and armor, they would be nothing more than superficial goods on the battlefield.

Now, under Sun Yu's rule, all major mines and workshops have maximized their production capacity to prepare ordnance for the upcoming war.

"Your Majesty, I think this administration should not be carried out too hastily, lest the place become unstable." Xu Yi was really afraid. Now this was like a snake swallowing an elephant. He was used to being followed and disobeyed in Hangzhou.

If there is a big move, people will incite riots at any time. No matter how many heads and six arms you have, it is impossible to cover everything.

"In troubled times, heavy punishments should be used. If these people are hidden, they will cause endless troubles. Now, what we lack is strength, so we should expand our strength. I want to set up a recruit training camp in every state, with a recruitment scale of about 10,000.

How about using the veterans of the Loyal and Brave Army as the backbone to ensure that they obey the command. From now on, the policy strategies of each state should be repeatedly preached to the recruit camps first, and they must be explained thoroughly to prevent them from being deceived, and then handed over to the government for implementation. "Sun Yu has already said, "How about that?"

I have thought about it and plan to solve local problems in the shortest possible time.

Those who can compete with others in the local area are aristocratic families who control the local land and wealth. His policy strategy is precisely to weaken these people and is the most likely to cause their resistance.

People at this time had a strong sense of local sentiment, and when they deployed troops to encircle and suppress people from other places, they could easily fall into the people's war. Even if they won, their vitality would be severely damaged.

Sun Yu planned to use local people to maintain local stability. These nearly 10,000 recruits came from various prefectures and counties. As long as they agreed with Sun Yu's policy strategy, once there were local changes and there were familiar people to deal with them, they would usually be able to resolve them.

Much easier.

"Your Majesty, this is a brilliant move!" Xu Yi nodded. This was considered as a way to build a group of people loyal to him on the local level by recruiting troops to eliminate those wealthy families who wanted to resist.
