After the opening, he was very busy for a few days, but Yang Lian became the shopkeeper, Wang Hu, Zhao Peng, and Xiao Erhei all had a handle in his hands, so they handled things, as for Li Xiongxin, Li Shu and his son, Yang Lian had a heart, and the two of them only assisted, and they couldn't touch deeper things.

The matter of the inn and the restaurant came to an end, Yang Lian continued to return to the Shenwu Army to serve, and soon, the news came that Yong'an Jiedu made Wang Chongwen the southeast capital to recruit envoys, Zhangquan pacified Wei Cen as the eastern military envoy, and Feng Yanlu as the southern military envoy, and the three of them had sent troops to Fuzhou to support Chen Jue. However, Yang Lian is not optimistic.

Long before getting the news, Yang Lian went to see the King of Qi and asked him to tell Feng Yanji that there were three commanders in the army, and there was a privy envoy Chen Jue in Fuzhou, so I was afraid that this battle would not go well. Sending troops to war, or doing business, the most taboo is that many people can take ideas, and now that the war in Fuzhou has four commanders, who do you want to listen to? When you think about it, everyone must be fighting for merit. If it's for the sake of merit, it's just a matter of killing the enemy bravely. What Yang Lian was worried about was that several people were standing still, waiting to reap the benefits of the fisherman.

If someone is a little too late and can't get military merits, I'm afraid they will kill the people and pretend to be, if so, unless Fujian is killed, otherwise this rebellion will never be put down. Li Jingsui listened to Yang Lian's words, and also found Feng Yanji, and personally said that Yang Lian was worried.

In this regard, Feng Yan sneered, a small general Yu Hou, talking about national affairs in vain, if he didn't have some relationship with King Qi, Feng Yan would have arrested him and put him in prison.

Yang Lian got the news and shook his head again and again. Most of these people sent by the Son of Heaven were literati, and they competed with each other for merit, and the Southern Tang Dynasty pacified Fujian at all, and they didn't want to use it at all, so it came to an end. Everything that should be said has been said, Yang Lian doesn't care about him, he is honest every day, the Shenwu Army drills, and the management of the inn and restaurant business is also fulfilling.

However, the county lord of Huairou came to him from time to time, which gave Yang Lian a headache. Distracted from time to time to deal with her. When she is free, Yang Lian will find out Zeng Yiling's identity, who is she? Thinking of the hosta sent by Zeng Yiling, Yang Lian rummaged through the cabinets, finally found it, and put it in the palm of his hand to observe, this is just a very ordinary hosta, no matter how you look at it, you can't see any difference. Yang Lian spent half a column of incense for a long time, all kinds of pouring, but he never saw it, so he gave up.

At the beginning of October, news came again that the Southern Tang Dynasty gathered in Fujian to meet with the privy envoy Chen Jue. Chen Jue was overjoyed and waved his troops to attack Fuzhou, Li Renda had already attached himself to Wu Yueguo at this time, and when he heard that the Tang army was coming, he actively prepared for war while sending people to take the sea route to ask Wu Yueguo for help.

The Fuzhou array made Ma Jie secretly lead the Southern Tang army to infiltrate, raid the Shanhuamen Bridge, repel a hundred defenders, and capture the outer city. The morale of the Southern Tang army was greatly boosted, and they took advantage of the situation to storm the inner city of Fuzhou. Li Renda led his troops to defend it, and the city wall changed hands several times, but Li Renda finally held the inner city.

Yang Lian firmly controlled these things, and for this reason, he also deliberately found Yao Feng, who had participated in the battle to destroy Fujian, to ask. Yao Feng entered Fujian the year before last and has a certain understanding of Fujian. Although he was proud, he thought of Yang Lian's identity, so he told him.

For many years in the Southern Tang Dynasty, the combat effectiveness of the army was indeed very poor, but it still had a great advantage over the small land area and barren land of Fujian. But even so, the Fujian State relied on its mountainous location to block the Southern Tang army. If it weren't for the infighting, it would have been impossible for the Southern Tang Dynasty to catch Wang Yanzheng.

Later, Chen Jue failed to recruit the rebellious Li Renda, and felt that he had no face, so he led the soldiers of Ting, Jian, Fu, and Xin to besiege Li Renda.

It's a pity that Chen Jue's ability to lead troops is not strong, and although there are many soldiers and horses, it is useless. The emperor saw that the situation had been completed, although he resented Chen Jue, but at that time, the Southern Tang State was strong, if he couldn't even take a small Fujian country, it would sweep his face, and finally decided to send troops to besiege Fuzhou.

After talking with Yao Feng for a while, Yang Lian clarified his thoughts, and was more sure in his heart that even if the war to destroy Fujian was temporarily achieved, it would eventually be a failure.

Wu Yueguo will definitely send troops to rescue Li Renda, who has already surrendered, and Wu Yueguo has a good sailor, so he can directly support Fuzhou without land. This will be a protracted battle, the side with strong national strength has a greater chance of winning, but considering the generals with troops, this battle should be five or five points, and considering the help of Li Renda, a native of Fujian, the hope of victory in the Southern Tang Dynasty has been reduced by two points.

Yang Lian could only smile at this, and secretly told Li Jingsui, the king of Qi, to pay close attention to Wu Yueguo's movements, and if possible, he might as well use sailors to harass Wu Yueguo's coastline - although the two countries did not directly use troops on the surface, the war in Fujian was no different from the two countries' troops. Now that the relationship between the Jin State and the Khitan people is not good, since the Tang Dynasty cannot go north and unify the south, it is also a way, and then the south of the Yangtze River will fight against the Central Plains, there is still a certain chance of victory, not to mention that the Southern Tang Dynasty has two Huai, and can seize Shandong at any time.

It's just that Yang Lian's ideas are difficult to realize, firstly, he is not in his position, and secondly, Li Lian is actually a short-sighted person.

The days passed plainly, but the court was very excited, Chen Jue led his troops to capture the outer city of Fuzhou, which was good news, and the main battle faction in the court suddenly walked sideways, arrogant, and looked at people with their nostrils. The pacifists are very low-key, walking with their tails between their legs, for fear of being stepped on.

In the midst of the cheers, Li Jingsui was also infected, and he was not so concerned about Yang Lian's words, Chen Jue won a big victory, the outer city of Fuzhou has been captured, the inner city is in danger, Li Renda is already frightened, Bi Ding's army is unstable, and the capture of Fuzhou is just around the corner.

The sky is getting colder, the leaves are falling to the ground, although Jinling is considered to be the south, but the winter here is still a little cold. Many people wrapped themselves in winter clothes and wrapped themselves into zongzi. Yang Lian also bought winter clothes, which were slightly thicker. After all, he is a martial artist, and his body is much better than ordinary people.

After three months of exercise, Yang Lian's body became stronger and stronger, the muscles in his chest bulged around, and by his favor, there were twenty subordinates, and everyone was in good spirits. There are powerful ones, and they also learned Yang Lian to take a bath with cold water, although he was not used to it at first, but later he felt the benefits.

On this day, it is the solar term of Xiaoxue, God is very cooperative with the light snow, the heaven and earth are dyed white, due to the bad weather, the Shenwu Army will also reduce the days of training, every one or five, only to train, if it is a rainy day to postpone a few days.

Yang Lian sat on the soft couch, with a pot of warm rice wine in front of him, and was drinking it slowly, outside the window, the Qinhuai River, where boats used to come and go, had become empty. Occasionally, one or two boats pass by, and mostly ships transporting goods. This season, it's really chilling to the heart.

Lin Renzhao has nothing to do, eating and drinking in Yang Lian's mansion, anyway, he is alone, and unlike Chen Tieai to drink flower wine, Yang Lian has a good relationship with him, so he often comes here to eat.

The two of them had a few dishes of side dishes, drinking rice wine, and chatting, although Lin Renzhao was young, he was familiar with the art of war, and he had been on the battlefield. Yang Lian chatted with him and benefited a lot, nodding his head from time to time and asking, Lin Renzhao knew that Yang Lian had never fought, so he patiently explained. The two talked for an afternoon.

After chatting for a while, Yang Lian suddenly led the topic to the war in Fuzhou, more than half a month ago, Jinling received the news that Chen Jue had broken through the outer city of Fuzhou, and now that so much time has passed, I don't know what the result is? Lin Renzhao felt that in the absence of foreign aid, it would be a matter of time before Chen Jue broke through a lonely city, but if Wu Yueguo sent troops, I am afraid that this battle would not be so easy.

The two were chatting, Chen Tie came in a hurry, saw Yang Lian, and said: "General Yu Hou really calculated, a few days ago, Wu Yueguo sent the unified army envoy Zhang Yun and Zhao Chengtai to lead the army with a total of 30,000 soldiers and horses, starting from Wenzhou to support Fuzhou. ”

Lin Renzhao was stunned for a moment and said, "Wu Yueguo finally couldn't help but send troops. ”

Yang Lian thought for a while and said, "Wu Yueguo's dispatch of troops is a big deal, I think King Qi already knows." ”

"Although King Qi already knows, I'm afraid it won't help." Lin Renzhao shook his head.

"This time, Wu Yueguo sent 30,000 troops, although the number is quite a lot, but compared with the Tang soldiers and horses in Fuzhou, the number is still at a disadvantage. As long as Chen Jue, Feng Yanlu and others did not venture and camped outside the city, they could cut off the connection between Wu Yueguo and Li Renda. Looking for an opportunity to break the enemy, Fuzhou can be determined. Yang Lian analyzed.

Lin Renzhao also nodded and said, "That's right." But I am afraid that Chen Jue and others will not be able to take Fuzhou, and Wu Yueguo will continue to send reinforcements, so this battle will be difficult. ”

Yang Lian stood up and said, "Wait a minute, I'll go to the Qi Palace." ”

Lin Renzhao asked, "What are you going to do to find the king of Qi?" ”

"Wu Yueguo is small, in fact, the soldiers and horses are limited, I want to persuade the King of Qi to order the Ning ** in Xuanzhou and the Zhen Navy in Runzhou to advance by land and water to coerce Suzhou, at least Qian Wenfeng can feel the pressure, Wu Yueguo in order to protect himself, the soldiers and horses who go south to support Fuzhou should be limited." Yang Lian was a little anxious.

Although Yang Lian went, even if he persuaded Li Jingsui, the king of Qi, Li Jingsui might not be able to convince the Son of Heaven, but if he didn't give it a try, how could he know whether he succeeded or not? Yang Lian changed into thick clothes, rode a newly purchased war horse, and ran out of the Yang Inn with the token of the Qi Wangfu in his arms.

Lin Renzhao and Chen Tie looked at Yang Lian's departing back, and shook their heads together, both of them couldn't guess Yang Lian, I don't know why he worked so hard?

"Go back and drink." Chen Tie saw that Yang Lian had disappeared, and said with a wave of his hand.

Lin Renzhao also nodded, and the two returned to the house, warming another pot of wine and drinking, until it was dark, Yang Lian came back, and there were still snowflakes on his head.

Without waiting for Yang Lian to shake off the snowflakes on his body, Lin Renzhao asked impatiently, "Brother Yang, how is the matter?" ”

Yang Lian smiled bitterly and said, "Although the King of Qi agreed, in my opinion, His Majesty may not agree." The great victory in Fuzhou made him forget what his surname was, and many people couldn't accept it at this time. ”

"Alas!" Lin Renzhao sighed deeply, and at this time he also felt that people were light-hearted, but they couldn't use their power.

Yang Lian waved his hand and said with a smile: "Don't say these frustrating words, let's drink!" ”
