Chapter 11 Thirty Years of Blood in the Past, Now I am the Emperor of Tang (11)

After Huangchao, the world was in turmoil, and it was Liu Yin who was the king in Lingnan. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info Liu Yin swept Lingnan, established the foundation of the great cause, and was canonized as the king of the South China Sea by Hou Liang. After Liu Yin's death, his younger brother Liu Yan inherited the foundation and took advantage of the opportunity of the Liang and Jin dynasties in the Central Plains to become emperor, and it has been more than 15 years.

Liu Yan governed Lingnan, had proper policies, was good at employing people, and like Wang Shenzhi governed Fujian, he greatly promoted maritime commerce, and the conditions of the two Guangxi lands were better than those of Fujian, and the development of agriculture and commerce was better than that of Fujian, and the national strength was a level higher than that of Fujian.

At present, Liu Yan has not yet reached the time when he is violent and unreasonable in his old age, although he has some bad habits, but on the whole he is a wise person. At present, the Southern Han Dynasty is also a time of economic prosperity, people's livelihood stability, and national strength.

The Southern Han Dynasty called Guangzhou Panyu and Xingwangfu, and took it as the national capital.

Xue Wenjie was ordered by Wang Yanjun to come to Panyu to form an alliance with Lingnan and ask for reinforcements.

After Liu Yan met Xue Wenjie, he convened the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs to discuss countermeasures and discussed for a long time, and finally came to a unified opinion: form an alliance with Wang Yanjun and support Wang Yanjun to resist the Tang army, but not send troops to support.

The Lingnan monarchs did not have the courage to go to war with the Tang army.

Su Zhang, the general who led the army north to support Wu, reported in detail to Liu Yan about the battle situation in Wuhu Town, and the battle record of 30,000 soldiers and horses of the Wu army defeated in one day by the Hundred Battles Army made the Lingnan monarchs and ministers chill.

In fact, even without Su Zhang's report, Lingnan Junchen does not have the capital to be arrogant.

How big is Lingnan? In a place as big as Jiangbei and Jiangnan, with such powerful princes as Chu and Wu, the Tang Dynasty will be pacified when it says it will be pacified, and it will be destroyed when it is said to be destroyed, how can Lingnan have the confidence to compete with the Tang Dynasty?

Besides, no matter how full the calculations are, it has been less than ten years from Li Siyuan's accession to the throne to the current Datang Dynasty.

Lingnan can seek to consolidate the land and protect itself, but it must not provoke trouble in front of the Tang army.

In particular, the sentence of Meng Ping relayed by Su Zhang at the end made Lingnan monarchs and ministers uneasy day and night.

"Go back, eat and drink, and indulge in pleasures. It's not been many years, and if the world is unified, it will be unified! ”

When the Tang army came to unify Lingnan, it was also the end of the wealth of Lingnan's monarchs and ministers.

Liu Yan sighed for this reason, and finally could only hold on to such a hope: "I hope that Fujian will be able to defend itself, resist the Tang army for more time, and consume more combat power of the Tang army, so that the pressure on my Han will be less." ”

However, the heavens did not grant people's wishes.

Before Liu Yan organized the envoy team and went to Fujian to meet Wang Yanjun, news came from Fujian one after another: Changle was captured by the Tang army, Quanzhou was captured by the Tang army, and Wang Yanjun fled to Fanyu.

Counting up, from the Tang army entering Fujian to Wang Yanjun's escape from Fujian, it was less than a month.

More than ten counties in the five prefectures of Fujian were all captured by the Tang army in less than a month.

After Liu Yan heard the news, he hadn't eaten for a whole day, "It's too useless, and Wang Yanjun is too useless!" ”

"It's not that Wang Yanjun is useless, but that the Tang Army is too powerful." Zhao Guangyin, the secretary of the Ministry of War, said, "Those shrimp soldiers and crab generals in Fujian can't stop the Tang army, not to mention that Wang Yanjun is unpopular in Fujian, and he was the first to flee in both wars, where can Fujian still resist the Tang army's soldiers?" ”

Liu Yan slapped the case hard, "Now that the matter is over, Shangshu should not grow up to the prestige of others and destroy his own ambition!" It's better to quickly think of ideas and come up with a strategy to deal with the Tang Army! ”

"It's nothing more than repairing the city defenses, putting them on strict alert, and the water and earth are coming to cover the troops, so why should Your Majesty panic?" Yang Dongqian, the squire of the military department, said, his words were heroic, quite hard, "The Han Dynasty has been established for more than ten years, Your Majesty and the first emperor have governed Lingnan for decades, the foundation is solid, the people's hearts are obedient, the Tang army has come from afar, and I am waiting for work, and there are mountains and rivers as a barrier, why be afraid!" ”

"Well said the squire! Although the Tang army is powerful this time, my Han is not a person who can be slaughtered, I want to pour the strength of the country into a decisive battle with the Tang army! Liu Yan stood up and was a little arrogant, "Those who follow the trend win the world, and the world is broken by those who go against the trend, success or failure has not arrived, and it is immediately unknowable!" The two armies are fighting, and who will die must be seen after the battle! ”

Although Lingnan has no intention of teasing the tiger whiskers of the Tang army, since the Tang army has already arrived at the doorstep, Lingnan has no reason to sit still.

Lingnan, which was already stepping up preparations for war, has become more and more vigorous from now on, recruiting young and strong, repairing armored soldiers, dispatching scouts, collecting grain and grass, and all affairs are in full swing.

A few days later, Wang Yanjun arrived in Panyu.

Liu Yan did his best to be a landlord and entertained each other in the palace.

At the banquet, Wang Yanjun's concubines Chen Jinfeng and Li Chunyan saw Xie Yiqing for the first time.

The history books contain: "Shangyi Xie, the name is Yiqing, the appearance is beautiful, the ancestor is elected, the love is loved, and the job is Shangyi." ”

Liu Yan and Wang Yanjun feasted in the main hall, and their concubines were in the side hall.

Chen Jinfeng is now in exile with Wang Yanjun in other countries, and in addition to being desolate and sad, he also has to plan for the future. Before coming, Wang Yanjun instructed her to pay attention to getting along with Liu Yan's concubines, if she could get to know one or two sisters, it would be of great benefit to their life in Panyu in the future.

Therefore, Chen Jinfeng did not dare to slack off, and Xie Yiqing was one of Chen Jinfeng's goals. The reason why Xie Yiqing was chosen as the target is also for a reason.

"Xie Shangyi was born in a famous family, and his ancestor was the Yangxia Xie family, that is, the descendants of Xie An and Xie Xuan, who defeated Fu Jian in the Battle of Weishui. His father used to work in Guangzhou, and Xie Shangyi was a serious official eunuch. Not only was she born beautiful, but it was rare to know the books, and it was rumored that she was proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. But it seems that her temperament is relatively cold, and she belongs to the kind of woman who is lonely and self-appreciating. ”

On the way here, Chen Jinfeng introduced Xie Yiqing to Li Chunyan like this, Chen Jinfeng is conceited and has a bit of talent, good at music and rhythm, and can write poems, so he consciously has a little closeness to Xie Yiqing, "I heard that Xie Shangyi is not good at people, and he is unwilling to pull down the shelf and get along with Liu Yan...... That Liu Yan is a rough man and has no knowledge, so the two can't talk. It is rumored that the reason why Liu Yan chose Xie Shangyi into the palace is also to covet the other party's family background and want to make a good name for himself. So within two days of Xie Shangyi entering the palace, he 'parted ways' with Liu Yan, and he hardly looked at him on weekdays. ”

"Such a person is not favored, and it is useless to win him over, right?" Li Chunyan said strangely.

"You are stupid, Xie Shangyi has a family background, Liu Yan still expects to use her to improve his reputation, although there is no favor, but there must be a response...... Moreover, after Xie Shangyi is an official eunuch, his family can speak in Panyu, which is very good for us in the future! Chen Jinfeng said.

Li Chunyan reacted, "I see. ”

When he saw Xie Yiqing for the first time, Chen Jinfeng couldn't help but feel ashamed when he saw an immortal.

In front of the small case under the curtains, there is a woman in white clothes sitting quietly, the makeup is extremely simple, the side face is delicate and charming, like a hibiscus out of the water, in the hall full of gold and silver warblers and swallows, there is a temperament out of the mud but not stained...... Sitting quietly in front of you, but it is like being far above the flowing clouds, beautiful and refined, indescribable; Ethereal, lonely as duckweed, as if forgotten by the world, tranquil and quiet, although lonely and self-appreciative, but regardless of self-pity.

What Chen Jinfeng didn't know was that Xie Yiqing had also heard about her famous "Wan'an Niangniang".

"Chen Jinfeng is a native of Fuqing, his father's name is Chen Houlun, he once observed Chen Yan's subordinates in Fujian, Chen Yan has a habit of breaking sleeves, often gets up and lies with Chen Houlun, and regards him as a male concubine. Chen Yan had a concubine Lu, and he also liked the young and handsome Chen Houlun, so he secretly fornicated with him. After Chen Yan's death, his brother-in-law Fan Hui inherited Chen Yan's inheritance, claiming that after staying, Lu was committed to Fan Hui, and at this time Lu was already pregnant with Chen Jinfeng. ”

Later, Wang Xianzhi rose up in Fujian and attacked Fan Hui, who was defeated, and the Lu family and Chen Jinfeng went to the people and were adopted by the clansmen. Wang Shenzhi occupied Fujian, and selected a woman from a good family to fill the harem, Chen Jinfeng was seventeen years old, and was fortunate enough to be selected, so he became Wang Shenzhi's favorite concubine. As for when Wang Xianzhi was ill, Chen Jinfeng hooked up with Wang Yanjun, which is really quite Lu's 'family style'. ”

To tell the truth, Xie Yiqing can't look down on Chen Jinfeng.

So in the face of Chen Jinfeng's closeness, Xie Yiqing has always been lukewarm.

But Xie Yiqing is actually a lonely person, there is not even a person around her who can speak on weekdays, although the palace maid can relieve boredom, but she doesn't know poetry and books, she has no common language, she can't communicate deeply, and naturally she can't enter her heart.

Xie Yiqing is a lonely person with no companions.

Every lonely person, no matter how accustomed to loneliness, actually looks forward to being accompanied by someone to some extent. It's just that their requirements for choosing companions are too narrow, and it is difficult to have a real appetite, so they choose to be alone.

Chen Jinfeng was quite talented, and finally moved Xie Yiqing. When Chen Jinfeng left a message saying that he would come to the palace again in the future to greet him, Xie Yiqing did not refuse.

Not long after Wang Yanjun arrived in Panyu, the Tang army, which was advancing both land and water, completed its assembly in the southern part of Fujian and marched towards Lingnan without stopping.

From Quanzhou and Zhangzhou in the south of Fujian, take the land route to Panyu, the road is full of mountains, the road is really not easy to walk, it is very delayed, and it will make the defense of Lingnan easier.

Therefore, the main force of the Tang Army mostly took ships and ships, went east along the coast, avoided the endless mountain dangers, and went straight to Fanyu.

Earlier, when the guards and the army built a camp in Yangzhou to the north of the river, Li Congjing had asked the guards to select and compile the elite soldiers of Huaibei who were proficient in water, and the effect of this measure was shown at this time.

But there are many Central Plains soldiers in the guards and pro-army, and they suffer more at this time.

Fortunately, not all Central Plains soldiers were seasick.

For soldiers who do not get seasick, it is much more comfortable to sit on a ship and travel than to walk on two legs.

After passing Chaozhou, the Tang Army's naval division, which had nearly 5,000 ships, approached the Yujiang Estuary (Pearl River Estuary) day after day.

However, the Tang army did not choose to directly enter the Yujiang estuary to attack Panyu, but in the area of Red Bay and Daya Bay, many soldiers of the Mabu Army were successively laid down, and all kinds of baggage.
