Lu Yuan left Li Ruozhen's small courtyard and returned all the way to the Heart Cultivation Palace, and halfway through, a personal guard hurriedly ran over.

"Your Majesty, the envoy of the Ning Guojun asks to see you."

"Got it." Lu Yuan sent Lu Yutong back to the Heart Cultivation Palace, and then returned to the Wende Palace.

The last time the Hui'an army attacked Hangzhou, the Tang army took the opportunity to sneak attack, and Qin Youyu asked the Ning army for help in his name.

Lu Weiyi showed great righteousness and sent reinforcements to support, although it didn't help much, but this friendship Lu Yuan remembered in his heart.

In the Wende Palace, Lu Yuan connected with Xu Da, the envoy of the Ning Army.

After seeing the ceremony, Xu Da said: "His Royal Highness King Wu, my family marshal plans to build a military army against Xinzhou, hoping to get His Highness's permission. ”

Lu Yuan was silent, he understood what Ning Guojun meant, and the other party was worried that he would also intervene in it, so he sent someone to say hello and ask him what he thought.

Lu Yuan did not intend to intervene, his goal was to unify Jiangnan, whether it was Chizhou or Shinzhou, it would be his goal in the future.

Thinking of this, he spoke: "Even if your army does it, I will not interfere." ”

"Thank you, Your Highness King Wu." Xu Da bowed and retreated.

After he left, Lu Yuantan leaned back in his chair and began to think about the direction of future expansion.

First of all, give priority to attacking the three northern states, which does not need to be much like. Xiuzhou, Huzhou and Suzhou are all commercial states, especially Suzhou, whose population and taxes are not much worse than those of Hangzhou, and will greatly enhance the strength of Wu after it is laid.

The question is whether he should continue to use troops against Wu Yue in the south or Tang in the north after taking the three states in the north?

While thinking about it, the guards came to report, and Yuan An asked to see him.

Yuan An's purpose in coming over was still about the arms deal, and he told Asakura Naokaka that he wanted to buy weapons, and Lu Yuan agreed, but this time he asked the other party to buy them with minerals.

Although Wu also has a lot of minerals, these are national resources, and he doesn't want to consume them excessively.

After the discussion, Yuan An was ordered to retire.

Lu Yuan stood up and prepared to return to the Heart Cultivation Palace. All the way back to the lobby of the main hall, Lu Yuan looked around and found that Yu'er was the only one sitting on a chair eating alone.

asked her, only to know that Lu Yutong went out as soon as she went home, at her age, she was at the stage of fun, and Lu Yuan didn't want to control her too strictly.

Qin Youyu and Sun Shaoqing also went out, although they didn't have as much to do as Lu Yuan, they were diligent in their work, but they seemed to be busier than Lu Yuan.

Su Liuying also went out of the palace to see her sister Su Wan, and in the main hall, only Lu Yuan and a few maids were left.

In the side hall, a chair was moved to the corridor outside the main hall, and Lu Yuan lay on it, holding a folding fan in his hand, fanning the wind comfortably.

While he was leisurely, in the south, a great war was poised to start.

……

At the beginning of June, the Han State, the Tang State, the Wu Yue State and the Jianwu Army launched an attack on the Min State at the same time, and the five prefectures and counties of the Min State were all plunged into the flames of war.

Among them, Jianzhou was attacked by the Jianwu army, Tingzhou was invaded by the Tang State, Fuzhou faced the army of Wu Yueguo, and the Han State Navy and Army came out to attack Quanzhou and Zhangzhou, the foundation of the Fujian State.

This battle completely dispelled the dream of staying as an emperor, and as a last resort, he reactivated Li Ziqian.

Li Ziqian lived up to his trust, defeated the Han Navy in Quanzhou, defeated the Han Army in Zhangzhou, and defeated the famous Han general Pan Chongche.

However, the battle situation in other states was extremely tragic, and Liu Congxiao personally led Chen Hongjin and Wang Baoshan to defend Fuzhou, although he resisted the attack of Li Yan, the general of Wu Yueguo, by land, but the naval army was defeated by Tang Bian, and was landed by Wu Yueguo from the sea, and Fuzhou was recaptured by Wu Yueguo again.

Xuanfei's Jianzhou was defeated by the Jianwu army, and Zhao Kui's Tingzhou was defeated by the Tang Guo'an Army.

Quanzhou, Qingyuan Military Festival Mansion.

Since retreating to Quanzhou, Liu Congxiao once again snubbed Li Ziqian and Chen Hongjin, pinning all his hopes on Li Xingfu.

"Your Majesty, don't worry, although I have some disagreements with Lu Yuan, after all, he has received my great favor, as soon as the letter I wrote arrives, he will definitely promise to form an alliance with you and march to Wu Yue Kingdom!" Li Xingfu pretended to be full of confidence.

He is now suffering words, originally after the defeat of the Liucongxiao army, he planned to find a chance to slip away, who knew that Liucongxiao actually pinned his last hope on him, and did not give him a chance to escape at all, and urged him to find a way to let Wu Wang Lu Yuan send troops to Wu Yueguo all day long.

The idea of staying effective is very simple, although it is embattled on all sides at the moment, the real trouble of the henchmen is Wu Yueguo's way, and the other roads are not to be feared.

As long as Wu Guo sent troops to Wu Yueguo, Wu Yueguo would inevitably return to the division to rescue, he was confident that he would repel several other enemy troops, and as long as Quanzhou and Zhangzhou were not lost, he would have the confidence to make a comeback.

"Li Aiqing, it's all up to you this time, as long as you can help me repel this attack, I will make you the prime minister of Fujian." Stay and stare at Li Xingfu.

“…… Haha, Your Majesty, don't worry. Li Xingfu said reluctantly.

"No, your prime minister can't do it!" A deep voice came from outside the study.

With a "bang", Chen Hongjin kicked open the door and led a group of people into the study, carrying a white package in his right hand.

"Chen Hongjin, what are you doing here? Want to rebel or not? Liu's voice was sharp.

Chen Hongjin said angrily: "I just want to ask you, now that the army is pressing, you don't think about retreating from the enemy, but you are with this kind of minister all day long, what do you want to do?" ”

"Bastard, I'm naturally trying to retreat from the enemy!"

Chen Hongjin sneered: "Hiding in the Jiedu Mansion can retreat from the enemy? I think you might as well abdicate and make way for Xian. ”

Stay with a shiver all over your body.

Hearing this, he understood that Chen Hongjin was already planning to rebel. His eyes swept behind him, and he was not surprised to see Wang Baoshan, but Wang Baoshan was still standing next to Zhao Kui, Feng Xie and Xuan Fei, which made him feel cold.

"I think I treat you well, why do you all betray me?" He hissed.

Zhao Kui said loudly: "Brother Liu, the brothers have only one way to die if they follow you, and I can't help it." ”

"You only know how to reuse Li Ziqian, where do you still listen to the words I am waiting for." Feng Xie said coldly, before Li Ziqian came, he was the first strategist of Qingyuan.

Xuan Fei sighed and said, "General Liu, if you don't listen to people's persuasion, you have to be called emperor, and we really can't follow you anymore." ”

Chen Hongjin threw the white package on the ground and said coldly: "Brother Liu, don't blame the brother for being ruthless, if you didn't have to reuse Li Ziqian and let him take our Qingyuan army to waste, I wouldn't have lost to Tang Bian, and the situation wouldn't have become what it is today." Now I plan to surrender to Han with my brethren, and I need to borrow your head. ”

The white wrap rolled on the ground, revealing Li Ziqian's head, and he looked at the ground silently.

Chen Hongjin didn't say anything more, his eyes sharpened, he pulled out his waist knife, and walked towards Liucongxiao.

Liu's eyes were closed, and there was no resistance.

With a click, Chen Hongjin wrapped the severed head and looked at Li Xingfu with a cruel gaze.

"Slow...... Wait, I'm an official of the Wu State! Li Xingfu was frightened, screaming as he retreated.

"Do you think I'm a three-year-old baby?" Chen Hongjin slowly approached and raised his long knife.

"This is an official certificate, you can see it!" Li Xingfu hurriedly took out the official certificate.

However, Chen Hongjin's knife still fell.

With a sound of "dang", a sword held Chen Hongjin's knife, and it was Xuan Fei who shot it, and he hurriedly said: "The official certificate seems to be real." ”

Chen Hongjin frowned, took a look at the official certificate, and saw the words "Forbidden Army General" written on it, and Li Xingfu's name and the word "Wu" written on the back.

"It's true." Chen Hongjin said in a deep voice.

Zhao Kui hurriedly spoke: "Brother Chen, Wu Guo is not easy to mess with. ”

Feng Xie also nodded again and again: "If you kill this person, you will definitely cause big trouble." ”

Wang Baoshan said: "Brother Chen, it's better to take him to the Han Kingdom and listen to the fall of the Han Emperor." ”

"Okay." Chen Hongjin put the knife into the sheath.

Three days later, Chen Hongjin offered Zhangzhou and Quanzhou to surrender to the Han State, and the Han Emperor Liu Sheng was happy and accepted the surrender, Chen Hongjin and Wang Baoshan were both made marquis, and other people who surrendered were also sealed.

Since then, the siege of Min has ended, and Min has disappeared in this war.

Several countries participating in the war had their own gains, Wu Yue won Fuzhou, Tang won Tingzhou, Han won Quanzhou and Zhangzhou, and Jianwu Army won Jianzhou.

In addition, during the period when the Jianwu Army sent troops, the Ningguo Army raided Xinzhou, and half of Xinzhou fell into the hands of the Ningguo Army.

The war was stalemate, and in the end, the two sides each occupied half of the land in Shinshu.
