Lin Renzhao was transferred back by Zhang Xun.

Zhang Xun finally hung up the power of a temporary governor, but before he could exercise it, he was restricted, leaving a false name. Later, he recalled Lin Renzhao on the grounds of admonishment and inquiry.

Lin Renzhao is strong in martial arts, burly, and has a tiger-shaped tattoo on his body, so he is nicknamed Lin Huzi. He was originally a general of the Min State, and after the fall of the Min State, he returned home to live idlely. Later, when the Zhou army attacked Huainan, he was invited out by Yuanzong to meet the battle. He came to the rescue of Shouzhou, in the battle of Zhengyang Bridge, personally led a thousand brave soldiers, against the wind to raise fire to the bridge, to prevent the Zhou army from attacking, unexpectedly, the wind direction changed unfavorably for the fire attack, after the Zhou army general Zhang Yongde took the opportunity to enter the battle, the Tang army was defeated. Lin Renzhao singled the horse behind the palace, and blocked all the arrows shot by Zhang Yongde, Zhang Yongde was shocked: "The enemy has capable people, don't underestimate the enemy", and he no longer pursued, this battle made him famous in a battle between the Tang and Song dynasties.

Lin Renzhao was first appointed as the envoy of Zhenhai Festival, and later changed to Wuchang. Wuchang has always been the northwest frontier fortress of the Southern Tang Dynasty, since the war of the Southern Tang Dynasty on Wednesday, the Southern Tang Dynasty ceded the fourteen states of Jiangbei, Wuchang's border status is higher, and the west and north are all Song land.

Lin Renzhao was born in the army, and although he later served as a general, he was still able to share weal and woe with the soldiers, so he won the hearts of the army. But because of this, it is also feared.

was ordered to return to Beijing, Lin Renzhao did not look aggrieved, on the contrary, he walked in a tiger's step, majestic, and heroic. In order to shorten the distance between the monarch and the minister, Li Yu deliberately retreated from the subordinates, leaving only the monarch and the minister in the palace to answer correctly, and Lin Renzhao responded appropriately after seeing Li Yu.

Li Yu had some complaints about him, but he couldn't help but be afraid of three points when he saw him today, how could such a talent not be supported by the soldiers? Shi Di was right before, Lin Huzi was a fierce tiger on the border, whether it was against the Song Dynasty or the Tang Kingdom. Sure enough, Lin Renzhao's words made him almost drop his jaw in shock.

"Your Majesty, the minister has been in the border army for a long time, and he has some control over the military movement of the Song State. Nowadays, the Huainan army of the Song State is very weak, and it has used troops for many years, successively pacified Xishu and Jinghu, and now attacked Lingnan, running thousands of miles, and the soldiers are tired, which is an opportunity to take advantage of. His Majesty only needs to give tens of thousands of soldiers and horses to the minister, and the minister can capture Huainan. ”

"Now that the Song State is powerful, the Tang and Song Dynasties are on good terms, how can they act rashly, once the matter is defeated, the Lingnan Song Army can turn its gun at any time and encircle the Jiangbei Song Army, and the Tang State will be in danger if it suffers from the enemy."

"Your Majesty rest assured, the minister has already thought of a way out for Your Majesty. Your Majesty can declare to the outside world that the ministers have rebelled, so if the ministers succeed, Huainan will be owned by the state, and if the ministers are defeated, Your Majesty will destroy my whole family, so as to show that Your Majesty does not know. ”

Li Yu almost couldn't sit steadily, as if it was him Lin Huzi who was sitting on the dragon chair at the moment and had the spirit of Wang Ba. This Lin Huzi launched a surge, and he didn't even care about the charge of rebellion, he had to pull Tang Guo to hit the stone with an egg, he hurriedly stopped: "You must not talk nonsense, this will affect the country." ”

Lin Renzhao repeatedly emphasized: "Your Majesty, the Liao State is sending troops to Dingzhou of the Song State, transferring troops from the north and south, and the Central Plains is empty, it is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and if you miss me, the Tang State will never have a chance to recover the lost territory!" ”

Compared to the pressure exerted by the behemoth of the Song Dynasty, the 14 states of Jiangbei are just a dispensable thing. Taking a step back, the most strategically important salt field in Jiangbei is not so important at the moment. Now that there is salt in the country, he is even more unpanicked, and as for the military significance, Li Yu thinks less about it.

"The Qing family has this intention, and I am very relieved. Previously, the Qing family stopped the soaring price of salt in Wuchang with a thunderous momentum, which was a great achievement. But now the more important thing in the country is not the border, but the south. Qingjiang County produced a salt mine comparable to the Huaibei Salt Field, which could supply the official salt of the Tang State, and it was the most important place in the Tang State. The Qing family is the humerus of the country, and I will arrange it properly. Let's go and rest first. ”

After retiring Lin Renzhao, Li Yu breathed a sigh of relief, the cold sweat from his palms was wet, and he also secretly praised his witty arrangement. Li Yu hurriedly asked people to go to Chengxin Hall to call Zhang Xun, and the bell must be tied to the bell.

Zhang Xun came to meet with Zhang Xun, and the commander of the Shenwei Unified Army was the envoy Huangfu Jixun. Li Yu seemed to grasp the reliance, and after seeing the salute, Li Yu asked simply and rudely: "Shi Di, now that Lin Huzi has been ordered to return to Beijing, how do you think it should be arranged?" ”

What seemed to be a simple question, but in fact, it inadvertently revealed Li Yu's intentions, Zhang Xun realized something, and asked: "Official, what's wrong with General Lin guarding Wuchang?" ”

"Lin Huzi has a plan, but there is no war at the border, so it is inevitable that it will be inappropriate."

This sentence was not said thoroughly, but the clues had been thrown, and afterwards Zhang Xun and Huangfu Jixun inquired from the guards, and learned the details, but they didn't expect Lin Huzi to be so bold. However, this is an afterword, which made Zhang Xun feel that Lin Renzhao was a thorn, which made Huangfu Jixun particularly uncomfortable.

"Official, General Lin is a pillar of talent, now that the Tang and Song dynasties are on good terms, it is indeed difficult to put him in Wuchang to make the best use of it, it is better to see where there is a more important position and transfer him to take over. General Huangfu is here, I don't know what he thinks? ”

Huangfu Jixun had a feud with Lin Huzi's subordinate Ma Chengxin before, and he was angry with Lin Huzi, and he was still angry with Lin Huzi, and he was in the strategy of facing the Song State. The two were almost in a state of hostility, and at this time he also heard the thoughts of the official family, and he did not beat around the bush like Zhang Xun, and said bluntly: "The official family, Weichen thinks that Lin Huzi leads the troops to dominate the party, and it is inevitable that he will become a follower, and it is time to move the place." ”

As soon as these words came out, Li Yu was secretly surprised in his heart. After the Fujian State was destroyed by the Tang State, it occupied the two states of Quanzhang, nominally subordinate to the Tang State, and was the envoy of the Qingyuan Army.

Lin Huzi mentioned that he regarded him as a rebel, could it be that he really had this idea? Comparing Lin Huzi and Liucongxiao, they are both former ministers of Fujian, and they also guard the frontier and have heavy troops, so it seems that they have to be transferred out of Lin Huzi.

Li Yu squeezed out a smile and said calmly: "Lin Huzi is dedicated to the country, so he doesn't have to worry. However, at present, there is an urgent need for a person with military and political talents to coordinate the overall situation, and the two secretaries can recommend anyone? ”

Zhang Xun and Huangfu Jixun glanced at each other, their faces rose slightly, and Huangfu Jixun preemptively said: "The minister thinks that General Lin Renzhao is suitable." ”

"The minister seconded the proposal."

"Since the two Qing families jointly recommended it, Lin Renzhao was ordered to stay in the southern capital, Nanchang Yin, and the envoy of the Zhennan Army, and go directly to the southern capital before the end of the month, without going back to Wuchang. Shi Di, you will go to Chengxin Hall to draw up an order. ”

"Wechen obeys."

"Official, this time General Lin entered Beijing, and he also brought his entourage to the generals. Now that the importance of Jiangning's city defense is increasing day by day, it is better to stay and be assigned to Jiangning City Defense, and there is no need to follow General Lin to take office. ”

As soon as Li Yu heard this suggestion to break up Lin Renzhao's subordinates, he nodded happily in agreement. How would he know that this is Huangfu Jixun's personal vendetta in the communiqué, and the Wuchang general he refers to is Ma Chengxin, who compiled Ma Chengxin into Jiangning City, and how to crush an ant to death in the future is not a matter of his words?
