Since learning that the township army near Kaifeng participated in the review of the township army led by Li Zhongyi himself, the monarchs and ministers of the Southern Tang Dynasty were like frightened birds.

However, the Southern Tang Navy Division on the Yangtze River defense line, after three months of continuous guard, did not even see a single military flag of the Great Zhou.

Lin Renzhao, the governor of the Southern Tang Dynasty Water Division, commonly known as Lin Huzi, did not dare to slack off at all, and divided the water division into two parts for rotation and vigilance.

The combat effectiveness of the Southern Tang Infantry Army is simply incomparable to the elite forbidden army of the Great Zhou, and it is more than eighteen streets away.

However, the Southern Tang Dynasty Naval Division mastered by Lin Renzhao only had a total of 80,000 people, but they were extremely elite, going into the water like a dragon and going ashore like a tiger, and even Li Qiong was defeated by his men at the beginning.

To put it bluntly, Lin Renzhao has always had the intention of going on a northern expedition to recover the homeland of the Tang Dynasty that fell under the iron hooves of the Hu and Khitans.

However, Lin Renzhao did not agree with the Southern Tang Dynasty as an enemy with Li Zhongyi at this juncture.

According to the idea of the lord of the Southern Tang Dynasty, Liu Han of Jinyang, Meng Chang of Shu, Khitans, Li Chongjin and Li Yun jointly attacked Li Zhongyi, and the Tongstinzi would be defeated.

Lin Renzhao thought that the only way to do this was to train an elite infantry army of 100,000 people according to Li Zhongyi's method of military training. Then, even if Li Zhongyi leads the army to attack Datang from the sea, he will have a strong capital to fight back!

However, the lord of the Southern Tang Dynasty mistakenly believed that Lin Renzhao had a backbone in the back of his head, and wanted to use the military power he held to do things that were not subordinate.

During the period of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, the rebellion of the military generals on the lower Ke was staged almost every year.

Don't talk about anything else, it's just Li Yu, the ancestor of the Tang Dynasty, who was originally Xu Wen's adopted son and renamed Xu Zhihe. However, the rebellious minister who robbed the Xu family and the Yang family was none other than him, Li Yu.

To put it bluntly, the two Song Dynasty courts have always pursued the national policy of emphasizing literature and suppressing military force, which is also related to the chaos of ministers and thieves during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, and the ambition and power of the generals must be strictly controlled.

In fact, Lin Renzhao really guessed correctly, Li Zhongyi deliberately pretended to be empty, and turned the 14 states of Jianghuai into undefended fat, just to lure the enemy deep and lure Lin Renzhao's Southern Tang Navy Division ashore to fight.

Who would have thought that Lin Renzhao had been stationed in Chizhou all along, and he had no intention of marching north.

As Lin Renzhao expected, Li Zhongyi divided his troops and put down the rebellion of Li Chongjin and Li Yun very quickly. However, the central lord Li Jing was still obsessed, and issued an edict urging Lin Renzhao to send troops north.

Lin Renzhao is also a donkey, so he likes to admit a military death, and refuses to send troops and horses to the north.

As a result, Li Jing, who was originally very jealous of Lin Renzhao, thought more and more that Lin Renzhao had different intentions.

It's just that at the moment of the great enemy, Li Jing doesn't dare to change the commander without authorization, and sooner or later he will settle the score.

Li Zhongyi in the north is a bad-hearted guy, who completed the review of half of the township army near Kaifeng in the spring, and then requisitioned the township army within a radius of 500 miles near Kaifeng.

The news that Li Zhongyi was likely to send troops made the monarchs and ministers of the Southern Tang Dynasty panic like ants on a hot pot!

Lin Renzhao just smiled and said: "This is a small technique that deliberately scares the grass and snakes, how can it be enough?" ”

When these words passed through the mouths of N people and finally reached Li Jing's ears, they had changed greatly. As a result, Li Jing's little black book made a big note to Lin Renzhao.

Lin Renzhao in the south has always had only 80,000 people in his hands, but Li Zhongyi in the north is not in a hurry to carry out the action of reviewing the township army, and even Zhao Laoer, who thought that he would send troops to the Northern Han Dynasty at first, was a little unable to understand his thoughts.

"Zeping, tell me, what kind of medicine is sold in the lord's gourd?" Zhao Lao Er looked at Zhao Pu very puzzled.

Zhao Pu was demoted to a foreign post a few years ago, and he was recently recalled to the capital.

"In the opinion of a certain family, the virtual is real, and the real is virtual." Zhao Pu picked up a few rat whiskers and sneered, "This is a tired soldier's plan!" ”

Zhao Lao Er pondered carefully, and immediately opened his mouth, and said with a smile: "Confuse the tired water master of the Southern Tang Dynasty!" ”

"Definitely. If a certain family's expectation is good, then the copper stinker should soon attack Jinyang in the north. Zhao Pu saw Zhao Kuangyin staring at his face with a serious face, and couldn't help but sigh faintly, "Tong Shizi is proficient in the emperor's mental arts, and he completely holds the entire Li family army in his hand, and the needle can't be inserted, and the water can't be splashed." A certain family secretly contacts many scholars, but as the copper stinker said, it is useless. ”

"In addition, when a certain family is in a foreign office, whether it is going out on an errand or living at home, there is a hidden eyeliner in the dark." When Zhao Pu said this, he couldn't help but smile slightly, "How can the flaws of a certain family be easily obtained by ordinary people?" ”

Zhao Kuangyin nodded and said, "As soon as you arrive in the capital, you will come to me to eat and drink, that's right!" ”

Zhao Pu and Zhao Laoer, the two old irons, looked at each other and smiled, many things, for them, there is no need to say so plainly.

Li Zhongyi knows Zhao Lao Er and Zhao Pu very well, and in the same way, Zhao Lao Er and Zhao Pu are also very clear about Li Zhongyi's temper and temperament.

This so-called, the tiger has the desire to eat people, and people have the heart to fight the tiger!

Only the enemy is the one who knows you best!

In the decisive battle under Kaifeng City, Zhao Kuangyin chose to sacrifice the city, Li Zhongyi followed closely and spared him, and in the first round, Li Zhongyi won.

Although Zhao Kuangyin lost, as long as Qingshan is here, are you still afraid that there will be no firewood?

As for Zhao Pu, when he accompanied Li Zhongyi into Beijing to meet the first emperor Chai Rong, he had already murderous intentions towards Li Zhongyi.

It's just that Zhao Kuangyin was much younger than he is now at that time, and his mind was full of benevolence and morality, which prevented Zhao Pu from secretly poisoning Li Zhongyi.

At that time, Zhao Pu was mainly worried that Li Zhongyi would be used by Zhao Kuangyin, which would shake his position as the chief strategist in Zhao Laoer's mind.

Who would have thought that looking back on it was already a hundred years old, and after Li Zhongyi led his troops into Kaifeng City, Zhao Pu had already been demoted out of the capital before he understood the taste.

was recalled to the capital this time, with Zhao Pu's understanding of Li Zhongyi, he didn't think that Li Zhongyi would spare him so easily.

Obviously, the best is yet to come!

Zhao Pu boarded Zhao Kuangyin's door as soon as possible, with only one purpose, to confuse Li Zhongyi and make the copper stinker think that he Zhao Zeping was still the affectionate and righteous Songzhou Jiedu judge more than a year ago.

Li Zhongyi is a man, insidious and cunning, and proficient in the emperor's mental arts, and always holds the power of the military and police firmly in the palm of his hand, which makes Zhao Pu hate it so much, but he has nothing to do.

However, Zhao Pu got an amazing good news, Zhao Xueniang has been elected to the palace, although she has not been summoned by Li Zhongyi for the time being, it is only a matter of time.

"Ming Gong, a certain family's plan is all on the Snow Lady, no matter whether it succeeds or fails, the Snow Lady is afraid that it will ......" Zhao Pu didn't dare to continue.

Zhao Kuangyin couldn't help but smile and said: "The elders of the children can't make a big deal!" ”
