Song Wensong's failure in Huainan's first use of troops made him very annoyed, and when he returned, he severely reprimanded his generals, and then he discussed the matter with Di Qinghai and the others.

Di Qinghai said: "Lord Wang, this time the failure of the army is really frustrating, speaking of the reason is that we are too light on the enemy, absolutely Huainan Sun Clan has been declining over the years, thinking that they are already vulnerable!" In fact, they were able to entrench in Huainan for so long, and even Lu Zheng coveted Huainan, but in the end, the Sun family was still able to entrench in that area, and they really had their own way of survival, and we despised them!

In addition, Lu Zheng is secretly putting pressure on us, this guy is too cunning, he makes Kuangzi move, makes us feel threatened at any time, and makes you suffer without spending a single soldier, hey! ”

Song Wensong also felt very depressed and said, "What now?" We are already in a bad situation, and now we have suffered another setback, which is really worse! For now, we have to find a way to live for ourselves! ”

Di Qinghai said with a smile: "Don't worry, Lord Wang, a decaying and wealthy family like the Sun family that everyone thinks is a dry bone in the grave is so difficult to deal with, we Shandong have 100,000 horses, if Lu Zheng really wants to tear his face with our Shandong, it will not be an overnight thing to defeat us."

Besides, the world is in turmoil, we Shandong are on one side, we have encountered an attack, and other forces are also cold, Lu Zheng may not be able to succeed! ”

Song Wensong frowned and said: "That's what I said, but the mood is really uncomfortable, we lost the best opportunity, and now we want to attack for the second time?" ”

"Of course not, now we have to ally with Long Zhaohuan and let Long Zhaohuan go to Huaiyang, so that we can show our sincerity!"

Song Wensong raised his eyebrows and said, "Give Huaiyang to Long Zhaohuan?" This...... This is a place that we can't afford to lose in Shandong! Huaiyang is the land of fish and rice, and I am short of grain in Shandong, if Huaiyang is gone, how can I ......"

"Haha!" Di Qinghai laughed and said, "Don't worry, Lord Wang, we can't take Huaiyang, let alone Long Zhaohuan!" Long Zhaohuan's Nanfu Army can also be regarded as an army?

They fought against the Huaiyang army, but they were afraid that the end would be worse than ours, not only could they not take Huaiyang, but they might also lose their own territory! ”

Di Qinghai said: "Actually, have you ever thought about it, Lord Wang, it is not us who really cares about Huainan, but Lu Zheng!" If Huainan is lost, there will be a city between us and Jiangnan!

We are forming an alliance with Long Zhaohuan and respecting Long Zhaohuan as Your Majesty, even if Long Zhaohuan is the rightful Emperor of Dakang! Lu Zheng has become a rebel and thief, and he is in a weak position morally, even if he has a strong army in his hands?

The people of the world do not return to their hearts, and they may fail after all when they turn back, this is the thorn in Lu Zheng's heart! Therefore, if Long Zhaohuan attacks Huaiyang, he can use the same method to let people cross Henan and pose a threat to Jiangnan in the back, so that the Jiangnan army will not dare to fight in Huaiyang, how can Huaiyang be taken? ”

Di Qinghai talked eloquently, and gradually said the key to the matter, Song Wensong's frowning brows slowly relaxed, to be honest, he has been dormant for so long, this time he used troops against Huainan to rush hard, but he never expected that he personally went out and did not take Huainan, at this time the frustration in his heart can be imagined.

But fortunately, Di Qinghai now gave him a plan, so that he stabilized his position, and immediately he did not hesitate to repair the book to Jiangnan, and let Jiangnan Long Zhaohuan take Huainan Road.

After all, after he formed an alliance with Shandong, he hoped to rely on the resources of Jiangnan to restrict Shandong, so that Shandong could not fail to obey his orders, so that he could not fail to obey his orders, so that he Long Zhaohuan could truly become a veritable Majesty.

But after Huainan Province was ceded to Shandong, Shandong could reduce its dependence on Jiangnan, and there was no buffer between Jiangnan and Shandong.

Now that Song Wensong was defeated in Huainan Province, Long Zhaohuan was really secretly happy in his heart! Now he waited for Song Wensong's two excerpts, one of which was Song Wensong's excerpt of respecting Long Zhaohuan as His Majesty, and he called himself a minister, saying that from now on, Shandong would respect Long Zhaohuan and respect Long Zhaohuan as His Majesty the Emperor of Dakang.

Moreover, Song Wensong also agreed to transport Emperor Xinde's coffin to Jinling and bury Emperor Xinde in the Jinling Emperor's Mausoleum, which made Long Zhaohuan very happy and satisfied.

Then Song Wensong's second excerpt is to let the imperial court send troops to attack Huainan Dao, in the excerpt Song Wensong was very polite, he first counted more than a dozen crimes of the Sun family in Huainan Province, and then he said that he was originally going to take Huainan Dao to share His Majesty's worries, but Sun was cunning, and more importantly, Lu Zheng, a traitor from the two rivers, coveted Shandong, so that Kuangzi frequently attacked on the Shandong border, so that Song Wensong fell short.

Now Song Wensong is no longer able to look south, and hopes that the imperial court can send troops to sweep Huainan Road, so that Shandong and Jiangnan can be connected to the city, and from then on, Dakang will have the convenience of north-south communication, and can deal with Lu Zheng's traitors safely and worry-free.

After Long Zhaohuan received Song Wensong's two excerpts, he greatly appreciated the first excerpt Long Zhaohuan, and immediately issued an edict to crown Song Wensong as the king of Shandong, giving him 50,000 stones of grain and 1,000 taels of gold, and invited Song Wensong to go south to Jinling.

Regarding Song Wensong's second excerpt, Long Zhaohuan convened the officials of the six ministries to discuss, and someone said: "Your Majesty be careful, Huainan Dao has always respected Your Majesty, and at this time, we have no reason to send troops to exterminate them!"

We can form an alliance with Shandong, and we can also form an alliance with Huainan Province, so why don't I prosper? ”

This statement was quickly refuted by his colleagues, because now Song Wensong is not allied with Jiangnan, but he respects Jiangnan Long Zhaohuan as the emperor, and Long Zhaohuan is also the emperor of the people of Shandong! In this case, how can the Sun clan of Huainan Province show their loyalty if they do not enter the Jinling tribute?

Also, if Song Wensong is on the fold and Long Zhaohuan does not send troops, how does Song Wensong think of Jiangnan? Could it be that Jiangnan really has no strength and can't take Huainan?

Huainan can't last, if Long Zhaohuan doesn't take it today, he will definitely take it for others one day. At that time, no matter which side takes Huainan Province, it will not be a good thing for Jiangnan!

For a while, the ministers were arguing about this issue, which really made Long Zhaohuan feel a headache, and in the end he could only put it aside temporarily, and then he returned to the palace by himself.

After returning to the palace, he kept thinking about this matter, and after thinking about it repeatedly, he still felt that this matter could not be decided hastily, so he immediately found Dong Yong again and asked Dong Yong to come to see what to do at this time.

Dong Yong did not serve as an official in the court, but has been cultivating in the inner palace, his identity is special, he usually lives in a simple place and never interacts with strangers, so his status is also quite transcendent.

Long Zhaohuan respects him very much, and will only invite him to come out and listen to his opinions on important matters.

Dong Yong listened to Long Zhaohuan's words, and he thought repeatedly: "Song Wensong really has a master under his hands, Song Wensong is sure to let His Majesty take Huainan Road, which will inevitably be difficult to get, so he deliberately gave it to His Majesty, the purpose is to let the Jiangnan Army also lose once!" ”

Long Zhaohuan was stunned for a moment, and suddenly said, "Why did Mr. Dong say this?" Why can't I defeat the Huainan Army? The Sun clan has now lost its vitality, and it should be very stable for us to go to Huainan Dao again! ”

Dong Yong shook his head and said: "Song Wensong's excerpt is not credible, this person is cunning, he must find that the Huainan Army is not easy to deal with, otherwise why wouldn't he take the Huainan Army in one go, why would he still ask His Majesty to send troops in such a pretend?"

Could it be that after His Majesty takes Huainan Dao, he still has interests? Shandong is a very cramped place, Song Wensong did not dare to act rashly for so many years, this time he was holding back his strength to take Huainan, because he had a granary after taking Huainan, which was tantamount to nectar in a great drought for him! In this case, he personally led his men and horses to attack Huainan Province but was defeated, what can we do when our Jiangnan Army goes to Huainan at this time? ”

Long Zhaohuan thought that what Dong Yong said was really like that, and immediately asked, "Then what should we do according to Mr.'s plan?" Didn't I respond to Song Wensong's excerpts? Song Wensong has just expressed his loyalty to me, if I don't respond, will it chill his heart, so that the world will also think that I am a mean person? ”

Dong Yong laughed and said: "What's so difficult about this, Your Majesty only needs to send an envoy to Huainan Province and make three requests to the Sun family, the first request is to be a minister, the second request is to pay tribute, and the third request is to let the Sun family send someone to Jinling!" If the Sun family agrees to these three demands, then Huainan Province will be my Dakang's territory from now on, and it will be the same as Shandong, how can we attack Huainan? ”

Long Zhaohuan thought that this was really the truth, but he asked worriedly: "Sir, this plan is indeed very high, but what if the Sun family doesn't know how to raise and refutes my face?" ”

Dong Yongdao: "The Sun clan of Huainan Dao has now become a frightened bird, Your Majesty, you know that they have long been at odds with Lu Zheng, they have no way to make peace on Lu Zheng's side, and now they have just fought with Shandong, and the two sides are still hostile!"

If they don't accept Your Majesty's recruitment, then they are surrounded by strong enemies on three sides, although the Sun family has been very decayed over the years, but their family is not a fool's family, they can stand for so many years without falling naturally There is a way to survive!

Therefore, if Your Majesty can take the initiative to recruit them, they will definitely be able to obey Your Majesty's orders and obediently submit to ......"

Long Zhaohuan carefully tasted Dong Yong's words, he felt that Dong Yong's treatment was really wonderful, so that not only could it be recognized by Huainan Province without spending a single soldier, but more importantly, it could also keep Huainan Province and Shandong in a delicate balance, so wouldn't the country be more stable?
