Feng Tinglu, the word Shuwen, is less famous, quite literate, and even won the favor of Li Jing, the emperor of the Southern Tang Dynasty.

Two years earlier, he supervised the army to attack Fuzhou, made a mistake in command, lost his troops and lost his generals, abandoned hundreds of thousands of military weapons, and wasted the state funds. Under the joint efforts of his brother Feng Yansi and Song Qiqiu and others, he was saved from death, first exiled to Shuzhou, and then found an opportunity to pardon his crimes.

Seeing that someone came in violently, he first snorted coldly at the concubine who was trembling in his chest, and then raised his head and said angrily: "Who are you waiting for, so rude." ”

The general first wiped the blood sword on the concubine's smooth jade back, and then patted Feng Tinglu's cheek with the sword, and said: "I have heard that Feng Shilang is literary and graceful for a long time, but it turns out that he is as stupid as a pig, which is really disappointing."

A family surnamed Cao Mingbin, by the order of the saint, took over Yangzhou City from now on. Oh, I forgot to explain, it's the order of my Great Zhou Sheng. ”

The iron cavalry armorer who followed in laughed, Feng Tinglu didn't believe it, turned his face sideways to avoid the sword blade, and said angrily: "The sword blade is very sharp, you have to hurt a certain beautiful hair, the joke has passed, and you still don't accept the sword?" ”

Cao Bin slashed it off with a sword, Feng Tinglu only felt a cold scalp, and then saw the messy hair falling one after another, only then did he understand that it was not a joke, and asked with a trembling tongue: "You...... You guys are really ...... Zhou Jun? ”

"The Emperor of the Great Zhou rode the dragon and tiger in front of him, and he came to take the life of the dog......"

Before Cao Bin's words fell, Feng Yanlu's knees had fallen heavily to the ground, "The general spares his life, Feng is willing to surrender." ”

Cao Bin looked at this very well-maintained important minister of the Southern Tang Dynasty, and mourned in silence for the emperor of the Southern Tang Dynasty who had never met before, and was speechless for a long time.

……

In front of Yong'an Palace, Jia Yin hovered on horseback, looking at the earthen wall of the city wall, and the rows of towering sharp cones on the wall, his face full of disbelief.

"This is Yong'an Palace?"

The unlucky ghost guide who caught him cried and said: "This is, it is said to be Yong'an Palace, it is a prison, you see that the wall of this courtyard is higher than the city wall, have you seen this hole?" This is the food mouth, the people inside have not been out of this gate for twenty years, I heard that ...... I heard that the brothers and sisters in it are married, and they give birth to children with dementia......"

Qin Yue's face was full of anger, his eyes were red, and he shouted violently: "Enough...... Open the door ......"

The guard who was being held by Li Xing trembled and said, "The little one has no key, the key is in the Jiangning Palace." ”

"Smash me, smash ......"

Tie Zhan dismounted, held the big axe, cut off the iron lock on the door a few times, pushed hard, but did not move, thinking that there was a mystery behind the door, simply used the axe as a hoe, along the mouth of the food, a fierce split, cut open a large mouth that can accommodate people in and out.

Qin Yue wanted to go inside, but was pushed away by Jia Yin, and said in a low voice: "I'll go in with the flower gun, and you will answer outside." ”

Qin Yue pursed his lips and nodded.

Jia Yin and Hua Gun drilled into the cave, and saw that it was a large lawn, overgrown with weeds, and the palace inside had fallen into disarray, and a group of men, women, and children were looking at them with blank eyes.

Jia Yin shuddered, turned to the cave and shouted, "Clothes, find clothes." ”

……

……

The news of Yangzhou's surprise attack spread to Runzhou City across the river in just half a day, and Li Hongji, the Governor of Yan, who was stationed in Runzhou, almost dropped his jaw, but the nineteen-year-old Metropolitan Governor quickly calmed down and immediately beat the drums and gathered the generals.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the East has been attacked by the Reverse Zhou, how should we deal with it?"

Strategist Huang Gong said: "The enemy situation is unknown, our army should be prepared for battle, and the scouts will find out the exact news before making a decision." ”

General Zhao Duo said: "Otherwise, if the enemy army attacks from afar, it will be a light cavalry, and there will not be many soldiers. ”

"Well, Lone and General Zhao think the same way, I don't know which general dares to cross the river to attack the enemy?"

"The last will go."

Li Hongji saw that he was about twenty-five or sixteen years old, with sharp eyebrows and a heroic spirit, and it was Chai Kehong who heard about the war, that is, he resigned from the post of Fuzhou assassin and asked for war.

Although his late father Chai was brave and good at fighting, and accumulated merit to the Desheng Army Festival, but because Chai Kehong usually behaved debauched, he only liked to drink and never speak of soldiers, the court hesitated, or his mother wrote from the top, saying that Kehong had a father's style, and could be a general, and was willing to guarantee with his life, so the court took Chai Kehong as the right military general.

However, Li Zhenggu, the privy deputy envoy, looked down on him, and the soldiers he gave were all old and weak, and the ordnance he received was all rotten and rusty.

When I first came to Runzhou, I was called Huazi Army.

Such an army......

Li Hongji hesitated a little, thought about it and asked bluntly: "General Chai, your department has just been formed, although there are 3,000, but they are all weak and old, and the armor is not complete, how can you meet the enemy?" ”

Chai Kehong said: "Soldiers are not in their fineness, but in their use." Yangzhou is my eastern capital, long inherited peace, Fang was taken advantage of by the reverse Zhou, think about it is now an awakening, as long as my reinforcements come to the city, the city will inevitably counterattack, even if the Zhou army is fierce, how can the enemy our army and people be together. ”

"Okay."

Li Hongji took the case and said loudly: "That's it, you lead the people of the headquarters to rescue Yangzhou immediately." ”

"No."

Chai Kehong led his troops across the river overnight, but he didn't know that Zhou Bing had already left the city. can only report the victory quickly, saying that the Zhou soldiers are afraid of fleeing far away, and the ordnance and money in the city have lost a few clouds, and as for the remnants of the former Wu Yang clan, they are powerless to chase after them.

……

Jiangning, Imperial Palace, Chonghua Palace.

The clouds are thick.

The military conference has been going on all day, but the conclusion is still inconclusive.

Now the Jiangbei battlefield has become a pot of porridge, Luzhou and Shuzhou have been lost one after another, and Huang Fuhui's reinforcements and water divisions have been ambushed again and suffered heavy losses.

On the south road, Qian Yu's army is storming Changzhou.

On the west road, Wuchang was being attacked by Wang Jinkui, the envoy of Langzhou Jiedu.

Enemies on three sides, wolf smoke everywhere.

And the remnants of the former Wu Yang clan were captured by Zhou Bing, which made matters worse. But those who are not strong-minded have the name of contribution, and this kind of crisis is not worrying.

Although the ministers offered many suggestions, the main battle and the main peace, each said their own reason, and the noise was as straight as the fang market, it seemed that if the voice was not loud, it was not enough to show loyalty.

Li Jing sat paralyzed on the dragon chair, watching the various farces of his subordinates, a weak feeling of dizziness hit, and he felt a burst of blackness in front of him.

At this time, a voice that was most reluctant to hear sounded again: "Don't worry, brother Huang, brother is willing to lead the army to resist the enemy." ”

Li Jing shook his head tiredly, and said in a hoarse voice: "Master Yu, I have figured it out, then Guo Rong has to drive the expedition in person, and I have to drive in person." ”

"Never."

Qiao Kuangshun, a scholar from the middle school, admonished: "Break the formation to resist the enemy, and have your own commander, why do you need to be personally recruited." Besides, how can the saint endure the hardships of wind and sand......"

"Presumptuous."

Li Jing slapped the handrail heavily and shouted: "Those who dare to stop my relatives will be killed." ”

Song Qiqiu had a thorough understanding of Li Jing's thoughts, and immediately went out to play: "The Holy Lord is personally conscripted, and the ministers are all excited, but the spring is still cold, so it is better to wait until March, spring and Jingming, and then it is not too late to go on the expedition." ”

“…… Song Qing is reasonable, but now that Jiangbei is in an emergency, Changzhou is in an emergency, what is the solution? ”

"This ...... The minister's meaning is to negotiate peace with the reverse Zhou first, and in case of disagreement, it can also slow down the enemy's troops. ”

Li Jing nodded and said, "Well, I don't know who is going to make the mission?" ”

Song Qiqiu said: "The minister recommended Zhong Mo, the head of the household department, whose appearance is majestic, and he is knowledgeable, and he can be the main envoy, and Li Deming, the waiter of the Ministry of Works, is quick and quick-witted, and has long sleeves and is good at dancing, so he can be the deputy envoy." ”

"Very good, where are Zhong Mo and Li Deming?"

Zhong Mo and Li Deming looked at each other, reluctantly got out of class, and saluted and agreed: "The minister is here." ”

"With the two of you as the chief and deputy envoys of the Qin Mission, you will set off tomorrow and go to the Zhou camp to discuss peace and strike the army."

"Minister...... Compliance. ”

Han Xizai said: "Since you are negotiating peace with the reverse Zhou, why don't you also send an envoy to talk to Qian Yu?" ”

"Good. How about Qiao Qing take a trip? ”

Qiao Kuangshun came out of the class and said: "The minister is willing to go." ”

Feng Yansi's face was swollen, and he didn't say much for a whole day, when the news of Yangzhou's raid reached Jiangning, he entered the palace late at night to plead guilty. I slapped myself dozens of times, and was kicked and fought by the saint, crying bitterly, and suffered a lot. That's how the phase was saved.

Seeing that things are going in the direction of a turning point, he went out and said: "Shengshang, the minister thinks that when the eastern capital is taken as a ring, now Wu Yue soldiers and horses are besieging Changzhou, Runzhou is close at hand, King Yan is young and shallow, and his status is noble. ”

Li Jing thought for a while, and said happily: "This is the words of Lao Cheng's plan for the country, and it is quasi-discussed." ”
