In early September, the autumn rain in the south is continuous. In the south of Jingzhou, the land of Chu, Li Hanqiong was stationed in Jiangling, where he pacified the people of Jingnan, accumulated grain and grass, and built ships to prepare for the war against Shu.

To the south of Jingzhou and Hunan, Pan Mei summoned Yin Chongke, Wang Yu and other generals to Tanzhou and ordered them to train soldiers and suppress the rogues. In addition to pacifying the old land, Pan Mei's mission in Hunan was to prepare for the recovery of Chenzhou and the war with the Southern Han Kingdom.

Taking advantage of the Song State to attack Xianghu Lake in one fell swoop, Lu Guangtu of the Han State led his troops to occupy Chenzhou. Chenzhou is located at the junction of Lingnan and Hunan, which is the junction of the Nanling Mountains and the Luoxiao Mountains, and the watershed of the Yangtze River and the Pearl River. In the first battle of the Qin State to unify Lingnan, it is recorded that the Ling Canal was dug here to communicate the two places.

Since ancient times, Chenzhou has been the "throat" of the Central Plains leading to the South China coast, it is "the place where soldiers must fight", it is the "south gate" of Hunan, known as "the hole of Chu and Guangdong", so the Great Song Dynasty is imperative to this terrain, Chenzhou is like guarding the gate, looking at the land of Lingnan.

At the request of Qin Zaixiong and the soldiers of the Song army, when Lu Guangtu led the troops of Chenzhou of the Han State to cross the water, the Song army cut off the back road of Lu Guangtu of Chenzhou in Yunyang Mountain, and then Pan Mei approached from the south of Tanzhou, surrounded and intercepted, and the Song army attacked in two places.

After the business plan war, Qin Zaixiong quickly returned to Chenzhou to gather troops and horses.

……

Three days later, the war in the south began, and the battle for Hunan between Lu Guangtu of the Southern Han Dynasty and the Song army began.

Lu Guangtu didn't know that Qin Zaixiong had surrendered to the Song army, and since Qin Zaixiong surrendered to the Song army, he told Pan Mei about the secret plot with Lu Guangtu to divide Hunan.

Lu Guangtu of the Southern Han Dynasty led thousands of soldiers and horses to march hurriedly along the peaks of the Han and Tang border mountains, while the Han army brought enough grain and ordnance, entered Wugong Mountain, and waded through Youshui in Youxian. The Han army stayed overnight and arrived at Liling smoothly. At this time, there were only a few hundred Song soldiers in Liling, and when they heard that the Southern Han army was coming, they had already fled.

At this moment, in Tanzhou City, Pan Mei's soldiers and horses were already waiting for work, and the thousands of men and horses led by Li Chao of the Song army rushed over like a gallop, killing the Han army led by Lu Guangtu by surprise, and scolded Qin Zaixiong for his treachery. The Han army could not hold it and began to retreat.

Seeing this situation, Pan Mei and Yin Chongke led an army of 20,000 to meet in Youshui, and then parted ways to the south, stopping at the first line of Leiyang, and the camp was set up outside Leiyang City, and accidentally got a map of Chenzhou from a down-and-out scholar, including the surrounding city of this state, Wenming Mountain, Dongshan, Xiangshan, Caowangzhai Mountain, Maling Mountain, Huangxiang Mountain, etc.

Got this good opportunity and made an immortal contribution to the Great Song Dynasty's attack on Chenzhou, and Pan Mei immediately ordered the Song army to attack Chenzhou City.

On the day of Renyin in September, Pan Mei and other Kechenzhou, this time they actually captured Lu Guangtu, the assassin of Chenzhou, Lu Guangtu was defeated and returned in history, but now Lu Guangtu was captured, which was facilitated by Zhao Dezhao.

Lu Guangtu is virtuous and wise, political and virtuous, and he is also a talent, Zhao Dezhao does not want Lu Guangtu to repeat the tragedy in history.

The Battle of Chenzhou made the entire Hunan during the Zhou Xingfeng period officially fall into the territory of the Song State.

……

The battle in the south is over, and the north is Kaifeng at this moment. At the beginning of October, at the beginning of winter, the weather began to be bitterly cold. Zhao Kuangyin has been thinking about who is handsome these days, thinking about it, and feeling that Wang Quanbin is still the main commander.

It was the time of the early dynasty of the Chongyuan Palace, and today the southern fast horse came to report, on the day of September Renyin, Pan Mei and other Kechenzhou, this time they actually captured Lu Guangtu, the assassin of Chenzhou, and the entire Hunan during the Zhou Xingfeng period began to be officially included in the territory of the Song State. Lu Guangtu is being escorted to the capital at the moment.

Officials also began to congratulate Pan Mei on winning the battle, but Zhao Pu and Dou Yi were still helpless because the officials insisted on Wang Quanbin as the commander yesterday.

While Zhao Kuangyin was happy, he was also secretly thinking about sending troops. On this day, it was announced that Wang Quanbin would be the main commander, and Cui Yanjin and Zhao Xin would be the deputy commanders......

At this moment, Zhao Dezhao, the king of Wei, suddenly proposed to let the students of the Great Song Military Academy sign up for this battle of Shu. This makes Dou Yi, Zhao Pu, Cao Bin and others? was taken aback, for Cao Bin, I don't know if his son Cao Can will participate in the battle of Shu State, as this is also an opportunity for Cao Can, who was born in Jiangmen, to exercise.

Zhao Dezhao looked at the ministers in the court and said: "My Great Song Dynasty founded the Military Academy to cultivate talents in the army, and this battle of Shu can be used as a test. ”

No one in the early dynasty had any objections, and most of them agreed with this matter.

After Chenzhou was pacified, Zhao Kuangyin couldn't wait to ask: "Everyone, when do you think it's good to send troops?" ”

"Your Majesty." Zhao Pu said, "The sooner the better, how is it already late September, and it is about to enter winter, and a moment later will delay the deployment of our army, and then it will also make Shu aware that things have changed." ”

"The northern part of Shu is steep and the Shu road is narrow, whether it is through the plank road or the upper reaches of the river, it is very difficult to transport and transport." Zhao Kuangyin said.

Zhao Dezhao said: "Father, the son thinks that the war of the great army, the grain and grass go first, and our army can transport the grain and grass from the waterway, and the baggage is heavy. I can immediately order Jingnan and Hunan to prepare warships, prepare all the food and ordnance, and when everything is ready, the army will set off again. ”

“……”

……

It was late at night, and at this moment in the capital of the Han Kingdom, the night market was bustling and the lights were brilliant. Unlike other restaurants, this one in the west of the city is starting to close.

"It's dry, watch out for the candles."

At midnight, the husband patrolled the streets, and when the husband walked away, a tall and thin black shadow immediately rushed into the back of a restaurant.

The restaurant is called Yangcheng Restaurant, and the owner's surname is Yang, and his name is Ming. has the same surname as Yang Meng, but he is not from the Yang Wu clan, but a guard under Yang Meng.

In order to expand his power, Yang Meng decided to let his ten old generals scatter and become strongholds.

In just 20 years, Changchun Hall has spread all over the place, and Zhao Dezhao was also stunned when he heard about it, but it is precisely because of Changchun Hall that what Zhao Dezhao wants to do has become more and more smooth.

Under the flickering candle flame, the candle flame flickered, and a black shadow flashed outside the house, and in the blink of an eye, it was in the backyard.

Yang Ming poked his head out and asked cautiously, "You're here, is there a tail in the back?" ”

The man in black said, "No." ”

"Come in."

As soon as the man in black entered, he said, "Our men and horses have received a tip-off that Lu Guangtu has been captured by Pan Mei, and the mission is going very smoothly. ”

Yang Ming hurriedly asked, "That's good, are there any other letters?" ”

"There are no letters." The man in black said, "There is a batch of goods from Liuzhou in the port tomorrow, and you will come forward to transport the goods outside the city when the time comes, remember that when this thing is transported, it must not be exposed to fire or water, otherwise an ......accident will occur."

"No fire, no water." Yang Ming muttered, "Could it be ......"

The man in black looked nervous, and after speaking, he went out.

The next day, the capture of Lu Guangtu, the assassin of Chenzhou, was transmitted back to the Han Kingdom, and the local officials ordered the news of the defeat to be blocked, but for some reason, all the people of Xingwangfu knew.

Lu Guangtu was captured, it was indeed a loss to the Han State, in recent years, the national affairs in the Han State, all the power of the imperial court fell into the hands of the eunuchs, and a mere Lu Guangtu did not cause any changes in the Han State. Liu Gang lingered in the flowers all day long, so he naturally didn't pay attention to this matter, and lost a Chenzhou, and the Song army dared to break through Lingnan.

As soon as Lu Guangtu was defeated, the news spread back to Xingwangfu (Guangzhou), and some loyal and righteous people had regret for the Han State and Lu Guangtu's regret, nothing more.

"Lu Guangtu is a loyal minister of the Han State, and the defeat of the Han State was also caused by Liu Gang, and he brought about his own destruction."

"Shhhh ”

The man suddenly burst out with momentum and said sharply: "That's it, this world is so big, there must be a place for grandpa." ”

……

Early in the morning, according to the instructions of the man in black, Yang Ming rented three donkey carts, hired a few powerful workers, and went to the port outside the city to transport goods.

On the wharf, people came and went, and began to carry goods from the ship, most of which were salt transported from the west coast of Liuzhou, and only the people on board knew that there were fifteen baskets of black boxes in the other cabin.

Yang Ming followed the instructions and loaded all the boxes onto the donkey cart, and then hid the goods in the cave in the north of the city.

In mid-October, at this moment in Shu, Meng Changjunchen was elated about the Wax Pill secret letter contacting the Han State, but they didn't know that the Wax Pill Secret Letter was just an excuse for the Song State to send troops to attack the Shu State in a dignified and justified manner.

"Estimating the day, Zhao Yantao and the three of them should also go to Jinyang, Hedong."

Wang Zhaoyuan was already triumphant: "Your Majesty, after this matter is successful, Shu and Han will have no worries." ”

"Is that a good thing?" Li Hao thought in his heart.

In Chengdu Mansion in Shuzhong, in a house at the mouth of Xiaoluo Lane in the west of the city, although it has been more than ten months now, there are still some flowers in Chengdu that are still blooming.

The fragrance of flowers was bursting, Wu Yongzi was meditating with his eyes closed in the house, An Deyu was reading a lot of books in the library pavilion, and An Dongye was practicing fist and foot kung fu in the backyard garden.

On this day, Qin Xi was still cooking for the three of them. Qin Xi came today, and naturally there was a letter from Zhao Dezhao, the king of Wei.

Qin Xi said: "Now Zhao Yantao of the Xingzhou Military Academy of Shu State has long been a member of His Royal Highness, so it also gives me a good excuse for the Great Song Dynasty to fight." ”

"It seems that in one or two months, my Great Song will have action." Wu Yongzi said, "By the time Meng Chang turned around, my Great Song army had already moved south from Fengzhou and broken through the Jianmen Pass." ”

Qin Xi immediately wrote to Wuyongzi, and Wuyongzi saw the letter and immediately read it. This time the task was more difficult than before, and this time their plan was to calm the people, let the people be undisturbed, and return to the Great Song Dynasty. This is the highest level of government.

Seeing Wu Yongzi's expression, An Dongye immediately asked, "Master, is His Highness's mission really so difficult this time?" ”

"Take a look at this." Wu Yongzi said, "If you want to save the people and the fire and water, although this matter is not easy, you still have to work hard." ”

When Antonye saw this task, he was stunned
