Abstract: In the second year of Xiande, in December, Li Gu led the army to attack Shouzhou, and the rest of the month was not overcome. Hearing that the reinforcements of the Southern Tang Dynasty had arrived, they retired to Zhengyang. In the third year of Xiande, Zhou Shizong Chai Rong personally conscripted.

In "Heavenly Song Martial Arts", considering the historical facts at that time, Chai Rong was replaced by Guo Rong, so there was no need to be entangled.

Haoyue didn't expect that there would be such a relationship between Yang Meng and Liu Renzhen, dizzy, it was a waste of thought to write about Yang Meng's resurrection.

—————————————— Dividing Line——————————————

In Kaifeng, Guo Rong had already learned from the intelligence from the front that Li Gu's army was already outside Shouzhou City, and Li Jing Lao'er had already led the troops to the north to deal with it.

Guo Rong was very much looking forward to this battle, the Great Zhou was able to go south in one fell swoop and capture the territory of the Tang State, and the ministers above the main hall were also cheering for the Great Zhou.

In the Liangcheng Inn, Yang Meng also learned that the Li Gu troops of the Great Zhou Dynasty had arrived under the city of Shouzhou, and he immediately took out the map and looked at it.

When Liu Renzhen was in Wu State, his father Liu Jin, who served his father Yang Xingmi, went to Haozhou to train as an envoy. Liu Jin's eldest son, Liu Rengui, married the daughter of his father Yang Xingmi, that is, his relative, who was more expensive than his country, and tasted as the envoy of the Qinghuai Army. And Liu Renzhen has been relocated to the pseudo-right prison guard general, and he has been assassinated by Huang and Yuan Erzhou, and he has been ruled by him.

Shouzhou Chengyou then said worriedly: "I'm afraid that this war will be unfavorable. Liu Renzhen of Shouzhou City, his brother Liu Rengui and I are related. ”

"Huh?!" Zhao Dezhao's mouth was round.

Immediately, Yang Meng told Zhao Dezhao all these things, and Zhao Dezhao knew that there was such a relationship, but he said: "Father-in-law, even if there is a relationship between you, but now he is serving the Tang Kingdom, that is, your enemy country, and you are opposed." It would be nice if the father-in-law could impress Liu Renzhen. However, I heard that Liu Renzhen is brave and benevolent, and he is probably a difficult bone to gnaw. ”

"Father-in-law can give it a try, that's fine. Zhao'er, you go get some paper and pencils, and I'll let the fine work of Changchun Hall send a letter to Shouzhou. ”

"Well, since my father-in-law wants to give it a try, it doesn't hurt." Zhao Dezhao went out, and then went to get some paper and pencils.

Later, Yang Meng lifted the pen, and his heart was full of emotion, so he wrote a letter, and then flew to Huainan Shouzhou.

Zhao Dezhao knew that Shouzhou City would definitely be attacked, but now he couldn't capture it for the time being, so he comforted and said: "Father-in-law, this is unfounded, you can't come to the battlefield in person, you are too worried." However, Zhao Dezhao is now six years old, so naturally he can't go to the battlefield in person, so he can only see through the eyes of others, and he doesn't have to worry too much at this time, so he can only quietly develop his own power in secret.

However, it is also a good thing to be able to persuade Liu Renzhen to surrender, after all, he is a loyal minister and brave general in history.

And Bai Gucheng has already written a book during this time and went to Xifu (at that time, Hangzhou was called Xifu or Xidu, and the state was governed in Qiantang,), I believe that Uncle Bai, who was in the Bai family in Xifu, should be able to know the news and cooperate with each other.

Zhao Dezhao has found a few young people to teach these days, and he is relieved to hand over the cause of education to them, although several teaching gentlemen are very confused about Zhao Dezhao's education field, but when they hear Zhao Dezhao's knowledge, they are all full of admiration. Zhao Dezhao was also embarrassed, he said that this was what he learned when he was a child, so those teaching gentlemen admired his teaching philosophy very much, but did not drag his feet. If the pedantic old professor is replaced, it is estimated that Zhao Dezhao will be angry. And Zhao Dezhao is such a person, if someone makes him stumble on his education method, he will be in a hurry with whom, and then show his achievements and fight with that person, until he is convinced of the law.

Half a month later, the news finally came back from Wu Yueguo's Xifu, and then there was finally a Shanwaishan restaurant on the edge of the West Lake in Wuyueguo's Xifu to join the Guangwei Group, and that Shanwaishan restaurant was the Bai family's industry, and the first footprints were opened in Wuyue through the Bai family.

Zhao Dezhao was also relieved to hear the news, and then he sent a few experts who could cook from Changchun Hall, and went south to Wuyue, hoping to rely on the cooking skills that Zhao Dezhao personally handed over to them, and then mixed them into the mountain wine outside the mountain, pretending to be a cook, and collecting intelligence.

Yang Meng agreed to this idea, and then quietly, the three spies embarked on the road south.

……

The winter of this year was not cold, and Li Gu's army had already reached the Huai River.

The time has reached the third year of Xiande (956), and Zhao Dezhao was 7 years old this year.

Hundreds of miles away, by the Huai River. This time, the Huainan marching army and camp were all deployed, and the place where Li Gu's army wanted to seize was the important town of Tang - Shouzhou.

At this moment, the army is on the edge of the Huai River, Li Gu looks at Shouzhou City on the bank, and his heart is full of emotion, the land of Shouzhou, from the beginning of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period to the present, has always been a place for soldiers to fight.

Shouzhou, located in the upper reaches of the Huai River, is the Central Plains to the north and the Jiangnan to the south, and the location is extremely important.

Historically, during the opening of the Sui Dynasty, Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty, Yang Jian, in order to defeat Chen's military needs, in the eighth year of the opening of the emperor (588), set up Huainan Xingtai Province in Shouchun. In the ninth year of Kaihuang (589), in October, Emperor Wen of Sui Emperor Yang Jian ordered the withdrawal of Huainan Province and the establishment of the Shouzhou Governor's Office.

In the third year of Tang Wude (620 years), the governor of Shouzhou was changed to Shouzhou, which initially governed Shouchun and Anfeng counties, and later added Huoqiu, Huoshan and Shengtang (now Lu'an) three counties, which belonged to Huainan Province.

During the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, Wu took Shouxian as the loyal army, and the Southern Tang Dynasty took Shouzhou as the Qinghuai army.

The target of the Great Zhou army was Shouzhou City on the other side of the Huai River.

In order to cross the Huai River, he ordered people to build a pontoon bridge over the Huai River. Let the army smoothly cross the Huai River from the Zhengyang River, and the army crossed the river smoothly, and then he sent troops to besiege Shouzhou City, which has the meaning of catching turtles in the urn.

In the third year of Xiande (956), on January 25, thousands of Tang troops from Shouzhou went out of the city to attack the Zhou army, but they were defeated by Wang Yanchao, the envoy of the Zhongwu Army, and at the same time killed and captured more than 2,000 soldiers of the Southern Tang Dynasty.

On January 29, the vanguard army commanded Bai Yanyu to defeat several thousand troops of the Southern Tang Dynasty again at the town of Yamaguchi.

In a short period of time, the Zhou army had already won two victories, and the news of the victory was transmitted back to Kaifeng, Tokyo, through Li Gu's recital.

At the beginning of February, Guo Rong received good news again, he saw that the Zhou ** team had killed thousands of people in the Tang Kingdom this time, so he couldn't wait and wanted to drive the expedition.

On 17 February, Guo Rong dispatched the people of Kaifeng, Caozhou, Huazhou and Zhengzhou to build the outer city of Kaifeng.

On February 19, Guo Rong Guo Rong issued an edict to officially conquer Huainan, wanting to take the 14 Jiangbei states of the Tang State in one fell swoop.

Before leaving Kaifeng, Guo Rong appointed Xuanhui Southern Yuan Envoy and Zhen'an Jiedu Envoy Xiang Xun as the Tokyo Guard, Xiang Xun made great contributions to the trust of Emperor Guo Rong when he was in Qinfeng Four Prefectures, and this time he did not expect to be appointed as the Bianliang Guardian of Tokyo.

At the same time, Guo Rong asked Wang Pu, a scholar of the Duanming Palace, to assist in the training work, since the political affairs have been arranged, the military should also be well arranged, Guo Rong's cronies Zhangxin Jie Du made Han Tongquan serve as the inspection and guard department, responsible for patrols and inspections inside and outside the city.

Then, he ordered the guards to command the envoy, and the Guide Jiedu envoy Li Chongjin rushed to Zhengyang, and the Heyang Jiedu envoy Bai Chongzan led 3,000 soldiers and horses to camp on Yingshang.

Within the Zhao Mansion

Zhao Dezhao learned that his grandfather and father were going to go on the expedition, so he asked his father to recommend Liu Han to Guo Rong, the son of heaven, so that he could serve in the army, because Zhao Dezhao was worried about his grandfather's health in the Huainan War, because in the history of Xiande for three years, Zhao Hongyin died of illness in the Huainan War. And Liu Han happened to know him, so he told Liu Han that he should pay attention to his grandfather's body on the road, and Liu Han agreed.

The next day, Zhao Kuangyin recommended Liu Han, a doctor to Guo Rong, who had already heard of his name last time, so he asked him to serve as a medical officer in the army, and accompanied the army to the south together.

Liu Han thanked him, then went home to pack his bags, and was ready to go on the expedition.

A day later, on February 21, the army officially set out from Tokyo. Later, Zhao Hongyin, Zhao Kuangyin and his son, Wan Song and Liu Han all drove south.

……

At this moment, in the city of Shouzhou, Liu Rengan, the festival envoy of the Qinghuai Army, led his troops to garrison Shouzhou. Liu Renzhen, whose name is Shouhui, is a native of Pengcheng, and a famous general in the Southern Tang Dynasty during the Five Dynasties. Shi Nan Tang, tired official Wuchang Festival Envoy, Qinghuai Army Festival Envoy, Zhenshou Prefecture.

He saw that Zhou's ** team had sent troops twice, and they had already killed a lot of troops on their side, so he hung up the exemption card and did not send troops.

At this moment, Li Gu, who was in front of the battle, heard that Guo Rong led the forbidden army from Tokyo on the 21st and was rushing to the south at this moment, and he felt that if he rushed to Shouzhou City before His Majesty's personal expedition, Shouzhou City would be taken, and Shouzhou City could just provide His Majesty with a place to go, and he could also ask for merit and reward in front of His Majesty.

Thinking so, he immediately ordered the soldiers to attack the city and take Shouzhou City in advance.

However, the festival of the Qing Huai army of the Tang State defending the city made Liu Renzhen hang up the war-free card anyway, and did not dare to fight, Rao is Li Gu scolded under the city, and still stood still, so angry that Li Gu was about to vomit blood, and just wanted to scold his mother, and unexpectedly, the Tang reinforcements were going to Shouzhou City to help at this time.

ps. "Book of the Southern Tang Dynasty" records: Liu Renzhen, the word Shouhui, Huaiyin Hongze people, father Jin. King Wu Wu, who had military exploits, went to Haozhou to train the envoy. The eldest son, Rengui, married the daughter of the martial king, was more expensive than his country, and tasted the envoy of the Qinghuai army, and let him support Confucianism.
