A river of clear water flows eastward, countless ancient figures, how many sunsets?

Galloping thousands of miles, rolling eastward, no matter how big the disputes in the world are, they will eventually be calmed down.

Li Deming, the envoy of the Southern Tang Dynasty, and his entourage had returned to Jiangning Mansion, the western capital of the Tang Dynasty, and they did not know that the monarchs and ministers of the Wei Dynasty on the other side had made preparations with both hands, and decided to threaten with force, and the iron cavalry would sweep the river.

"Your Majesty, the land of Jianghuai can never be ceded, the ancestors opened up the territory and laid down this large area of mountains and rivers, it is not easy, every inch of rivers and mountains is soaked in the blood of tens of millions of people, how can you give it up!" Prime Minister Song Qiqiu burst into tears, and persuaded him not to cede Jiangbei's homeland.

"Your Majesty, the minister seconded the admonition of the Duke of Song, thinking that my Tang Dynasty soldiers are more generals, the land is large, and the land is rich, especially the naval division is the best in all countries, across the river, and according to the Yangtze River natural danger, ninety percent of the Wei army's soldiers and horses are not accustomed to water, even if the Wei army is million, what is our dynasty afraid of, when Wei Wu Emperor Cao Cao wrote poems, raised millions of troops, and the warships were connected for dozens of miles, with the power of victory, how prosperous the army was, and the result? Defeated by the Sun-Liu coalition army, once completely destroyed, our dynasty is far superior to Eastern Wu, the lord of Wei wants to destroy my dynasty, it can really be described as a fool's dream, but Li Yuanjun repeatedly praised the Wei army's strong appearance, admonished to cut the land and seek peace, and took my dynasty to Lu, but he wanted to let the king cede the land to the enemy country, and the king humiliated the ministers to death, so that the king was so vain in the emperor's grace, it was really a thief of my dynasty! The privy envoy Chen Jue ignored Li Deming's angry and blue-skinned appearance, and accused Li Deming of collaborating with the enemy and treason, and his crime should be punished.

"You...... You don't want to spew blood! Li Deming pointed at Chen Jue, trembling with anger. Chen Jue's heart-wrenching words were intended to kill himself.

"Your Majesty, as a courtier of the Tang Dynasty, Weichen always abides by his duties, and has no rebellious heart, please Your Majesty Mingjian, Your Majesty Mingjian!" Li Deming hurriedly knelt on the ground to argue.

Prime Minister Song Qiqiu has been in the Southern Tang Dynasty for nearly 30 years, and his protégés and former officials are all over the government and the opposition, even Chen Xu, who is now a privy envoy, is also his former protégé, and has a lot of relationship with him.

"Your Majesty, the minister has a word." Behind Li Deming, a middle-aged civil official in his thirties came out of the line.

"Say." Li Jing silently looked at the wonderful dramatic scene below, and simply said a word. Li Deming said what Li Jing was not happy to hear, who was willing to give up the good land to others, and promised to cede the land, where will the face of the royal family be in the future?

"Although what Li Zhijun said is somewhat inappropriate, but there is no half selfishness, it is true that our naval division is across the north and south of the river, and its strength is by no means comparable to the Wei army composed of northerners, but now most of the land in the north of the Yangtze River has fallen into the hands of the Wei army, and there are only a few cities that our country can control, and besides, most of the cities that are still under control have fallen into the encirclement of the Wei army. The situation is extremely unfavorable for our army. If you want to get it back, the price you have to pay will be even greater. Since the beginning of the war, our country has lost its troops and nearly 100,000 people have fallen into the sand, and today's peace is just an expedient measure. Although the country is big, the belligerent will die, the Wei lord is reckless, fighting for many years, and the domestic economy is not as rich and prosperous as my Tang Dynasty, how can its treasury support the huge expenditure? Ministers look at the Wei lord of the world, the north is as soft as a fish in the throat, Rouran is the heart of the Wei country, the future will definitely be conquered, our country might as well take a step back, wait for the Central Plains incident in the future, wait and see the changes! "This civil official's name is Wang Sheng, and he is a scribe who accompanied Li Deming to the Wei military camp.

"What a sharp tooth and sharp mouth, it is really a lie, Your Majesty must not believe this person's words!" Li Zhenggu, the deputy envoy of the Privy Council, spoke, "Li Deming and Wang Sheng are thinking about the court one by one, but what they say is all deserving words, Li Deming is frivolous and exaggerates the facts, if the Wei army is really so invincible, how can Chai Kehong defeat the elite of the Wei army's forbidden army with the old and weak division that day, what Wang Sheng said is even more nonsense, can you exchange peace by cutting the land, if the Wei army takes the rich land of Jiangbei, and the national strength is greatly increased, who can assert that the Wei lord will not covet my Tang Dynasty splendid rivers and mountains, it is ridiculous!" Li is really ashamed to be an official in the same dynasty as Er! Li Zhenggu didn't remember the fact that he had deducted and made things difficult for Chai Kehong's weapons and armor in the past, and used Chai Kehong's record of defeating Li Jixun to give evidence to refute it, and after he finished speaking, he waved his sleeves with a look of disdain, as if he didn't want to be with Li Wang.

Li Deming, who was kneeling on the ground, and Wang Sheng, who had just finished speaking, looked at Li Zhenggu one after another, and saw that he didn't blush at all when he opened his eyes and said nonsense, and they had a new understanding of how shameless he was.

Privy envoy Chen Jue and deputy privy envoy Li Zhenggu have always been at odds with Li Deming and Wang Sheng, and regard them as political enemies. Who will show you a clear and tall look, and who will you do if you don't die?

There were ministers of peace in the court of the Southern Tang Dynasty, and naturally there were ministers of the main war, and with the matter of King Li as the fuse, a fierce controversy began.

……

Although Li Jing read the edict written by Lu Rong asking the Tang State to cede the land and claim the status of ministers, he was very unhappy, and the main war lord above the court was arguing, so he dissolved the court first, and the two groups of people in the province were annoying under their noses.

Even if he was unhappy with Lu Rong's aggressive posture, there was still some superficial effort between the two countries, Li Jing endured his unhappiness and wrote a letter of thanks to Lu Rong in reply.

……

The other end.

Lu Boss stayed in Yangzhou for a period of time and couldn't be idle, decided to leave Yangzhou, personally conquered Haozhou, the army rushed to the front line, Chen Xu, who made great contributions in the siege of Shouzhou, also went with the emperor to attack Haozhou.

At this time, Chen Xu's men were still stationed in Shouzhou, so he first had to take the generals and staff who came to Yangzhou with him to return to Shouzhou first.

Chen Xu, who got the order, set off the next day and embarked on the road back to Shouzhou. He planned to return to Shouzhou first, take the men and horses on the left wing of the Hujie army, and then take the waterway to join the men and horses on the right wing of the Hujie army in Tushan. Chen Xu, who was promoted to the commander of the infantry and military divisions of the guards, nominally controlled a quarter of the strength of the forbidden army of the Wei Dynasty and an elite division of 40,000 people.

It's autumn, and the leaves are rolling in the slight wind, with a bit of coolness that has never been seen in summer.

The Southern Tang Dynasty appointed Chai Kehong, who had shined on the battlefield between the Southern Tang Dynasty and Wuyue, as the chief general, and was fully responsible for the mobilization of Tang soldiers and horses in the Haozhou region and the deployment of the city, and the heavy burden fell on this young general who was only in his early twenties.

The emperor's earnest words are still in his ears, and the young and vigorous Chai Kehong not only did not get tired because of this heavy hope, but was full of fighting spirit.
