The moonlight gently sprinkled a cold glow, and the cold air gave a piercing feeling.

After the man in black came out of Lin Renzhao's mansion, he turned left and right into the alley, and then hurried to Qianjin Yixiao Building, wanting to meet Zhao Dezhao.

As soon as the door of the Qianjin Yixiao Building opened, the man in black took off the black scarf covering his face, took off the black night clothes outside, and turned around to go to a side room.

As soon as the door of the wing room opened, Zhao Dezhao saw Wan Song, who had been away for several days, and immediately said excitedly: "Brother Yi, you are here." ”

Wan Song had already entered the room, half-bowed over the fire, he told Zhao Dezhao about the Lin Mansion and said: "Well, Brother Zhao, Lin Renzhao no longer suspects it, I also used Li Yu's letter to appease this person, and in the future, Lin Renzhao may be able to stab Li Congqing in the back a few times, making the situation in Jinling more and more turbulent." ”

The expression on Zhao Dezhao's face was very excited, and he pressed the thick stack of secret letters on the table and said: "Brother Yi, I just received the news from my father-in-law, and now my father-in-law has arrived in Chuzhou, and he will arrive in Jinling in a few days, and Brother Tanhua is also on the way south, and we will be able to meet again in a short time." ”

After hearing the news, Wan Song nodded and said: "It seems that my father-in-law is very concerned about the matter of ghosts, and I don't know what kind of ability is behind this ghost-seeing sorrow, so that my father-in-law cares so much." ”

The candle flame in the room was very bright, and the charcoal fire in the brazier also made people feel warm, Zhao Dezhao sat cross-legged on the soft couch, one hand had already pressed a few secret music on the table, and the smile on his face was also very bright, without the slightest intention of concealment.

"It's been a lot of good things lately!" Zhao Dezhao paused for a moment and continued, "My Great Song Navy has been moving on the entire river surface of the Song and Tang borders for a while now, one is to deter the Tang State, and the other is to prepare for the southern attack on Jinling. ”

"In addition, I also sent someone to measure the water level near the quarry, and the hydrology and topography of the river near the quarry rock are being surveyed. Strive to measure the accurate water situation, and find a way to find a fixed pontoon bridge on the south bank, waiting for the arrival of our Great Song Heavenly Soldiers. ”

"The whole north, now the Liao country is also a mess, the northern nomads are fighting all over the place, fighting for the vast steppe; And our merchants of the Great Song Dynasty also exchanged salt, iron, coal, and honeycomb coal for horses, cattle and sheep of the northern nomads, and opened horse markets with each other, and exchanged ginseng, Haidongqing, mink, and other things from the Jurchen people; In Changbai Mountain, Goryeo and the Khitans in the eastern part of the Liao State have already fought a group, and the Liao Emperor Yelujing also had to fight in person......"

In the northwest, an agreement was also reached between the various ethnic groups and the Great Song Dynasty, and the entire northwest was relatively peaceful for the time being, and the Great Song Dynasty was currently at peace in the northwest. And in the Northern Han Kingdom, there are also the eyes and ears of Zhao Kuangyin's father and son in Jinyang City, one by one to explore every move of Jinyang City, and now the lord of the Northern Han Dynasty is seriously ill, and his righteous sons are also fighting for the throne with each other......"

"Wu Xiaowu and others also returned from overseas, bringing a lot of local potatoes, corn, black slaves, gold and silver and other minerals......

"Everything in Liuzhou is also in progress, and now it has also provided a lot of large and small warships, swords and artillery for our Great Song Naval Army."

“……”

Wan Song listened to all this quietly, at this moment his heart was a little excited, blood bursting, for him, in the Northwest War, and in the Huainan War, he had also participated in the battle several times, and now a big war is about to start, for the manly husband to make contributions, Wan Song can't wait to stretch out his hands and plunge into the war of the unification of the Great Song Dynasty.

Wan Song patted the table, and he laughed and said, "Brother Zhao, I should congratulate you, but I don't know that there is good wine and wine in this Qianjin Yixiao Building, I haven't been so happy for a long time, and I should really celebrate today." ”

"Hmm!" Zhao Dezhao saw that Wan Song was so happy, so he immediately ordered a cronie outside the house to go to the cellar to find a pot of ten-year-old wine.

The cronies had already come with a small jar of drunken Taibai, which was tightly sealed on the outside, which was a high degree of wine, so that one jar was enough to make people feel fascinated and tremble on all fours.

Wan Song didn't say a word, immediately opened the sealing mud at the mouth of the altar, and instantly a strong aroma of wine gushed out from the jar, which immediately made people fascinated and drunk.

"Good wine!" Wan Song took a sharp sip and began to pour wine into the large-caliber bowl.

The crisp and sweet liquor slipped out of the jar, and a part of it accidentally splashed into the brazier, and suddenly the bamboo charcoal caused a burst of flames to fly around, and the flame as high as a candlestick was ignited, Zhao Dezhao smiled and said nothing, so he asked his cronies to take the brazier aside to avoid accidents.

At this moment, the room was already filled with a strong aroma of wine, and the smell of wine had made people more and more intoxicated.

Sprinkled with two glasses of wine, Wan Song and Zhao Dezhao picked up the bowl, raised their necks, and began to drink. Although the degree is not higher than that of later generations, after a sip of wine, it gradually blends into the limbs from the throat down, even so, but it also makes the necks, ears and half of their faces red, like Guan Gong of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, only a green dragon glaive knife is missing.

"Good wine, dry—" The two of them touched each other, and the wine collided and came out of the bowl, and then the two began to drink again.

"If I don't drink, I can't drink." Zhao Dezhao waved his hand and said, he is not good at drinking, and drinking too much is not good for his health, as if he has watched a pirated copy.

A small jar of wine has been drunk, the two of them are already slightly drunk, and they are both lying on the table, but Zhao Dezhao pointed to the map and began to talk about his life ideals, waking up to the power of the world, drunk and lying on the knees of beautiful women. After that, Zhao Dezhao took the bowl and sang while playing the bowl:

"Wine into the bowels,

Seven points made into moonshine,

The remaining three points roared into sword qi,

Embroidered mouth spit,

It's only half of the Tang Dynasty......"

"Good poetry!" Wan Song also raised his head from time to time, very excited in his words, after listening to Zhao Dezhao's ambition, he couldn't help clapping his big hands, and as Zhao Dezhao began to sing, only a violent applause and echoes were intertwined in the room.

"Brother-in-law, this is my piracy of others...... Haha, uh. Zhao Dezhao took a sip of wine, burped, and accidentally spit out the truth, but Wan Song was already drunk and didn't know what he was talking about.

In this way, the two of them had a night of partying about it...... Always preparing to end the troubled times, fighting for the world......

Except for Jinling, in the whole world, everything is going on in an orderly manner.

From Kaifeng down, on the cement road from Kaifeng to Yangzhou and Kaifeng to Jiangling Mansion, the messenger from the capital also conveyed the emperor's secret decree, intending to send the secret decree to the south of the Great Song Dynasty.

The speeding wheels were already galloping along the gallop road, and the horses were pulling some important things south, and they had been galloping south from day to night, trying to reach the south by November.

Since Zhao Kuangyin understood Zhao Dezhao's thoughts, Zhao Kuangyin used the case of the disappearance of King Wei and the death of Li Yu, the lord of the Tang State, to inform the Southern Border Army of the Great Song Dynasty and the Huainan Army to prepare for the preparation of the generals of the Panmei, Shudi and Huainan armies of Langzhou to prepare for the south and deploy troops on the border.

After that, the Great Song Dynasty began to accelerate training in Shanghai Port, Yangzhou Port, Yingluan Town, and Jinghu Naval Army. The Great Song army had already launched operations around the northern and western borders of the (southern) Tang Dynasty, preparing to wait for the situation of Jinling City to change and act immediately.

On the quarrying side, when the Tang navy patrolled the water fortifications and other water conservancy matters near the water surface every day, a fishing boat was on the river every day in the name of mourning the wrecked fishermen nearby, and near the river bank, a young bald monk set off from the Guangji Temple of Niuzhu Mountain near the quarrying every day, and took a boat into the river as a monk, or playing, or fishing, or practicing for other reasons to hide people's eyes and ears, measured the depth of the river with fishing rods and other measurements, recorded the river water and the geology on both sides of the river near Guazhou and quarrying, and planned to lay a pontoon bridge here. In this way, the Song army can quickly cross the river near the quarry, capture the quarry rock at the fastest speed and the shortest distance, and besiege Jinling.

This plan was previously negotiated between Fan Ruoshui and Zhao Dezhao, and it is said that now the situation in Jinling is in a mess, and Fan Ruoshui wants to speed up the survey and mapping, and then set off to the north to dedicate the river water survey sketch to Zhao Kuangyin. Fan Ruoshui was also followed by several officials from the Ministry of Water sent by the Great Song Dynasty, since Zhao Kuangyin knew Zhao Dezhao's plan, Zhao Kuangyin collected water conservancy officials from all over the Great Song Dynasty and dispatched important officials from the Ministry of Water to visit the Tang State to visit and mourn on the occasion of Li Yu's death, and secretly Chen Cang, Fan Ruoshui was very satisfied with this, and from time to time sent the news to Zhao Dezhao in Jinling City.

Since these days, the situation in Jinling has become more and more chaotic, and Li Congqing thinks that he has completely mastered the situation in Jinling, but some people have not done what he wanted.

The coffin of the lord of the Tang State has not yet been mourned, and the coffin has been moved to another palace to mourn, the emperor's funeral is very cumbersome, and it will take a while to complete, and Li Congqing can't wait to ascend to the throne as soon as possible, but due to the etiquette and law, he temporarily leads the government as a supervisor.

After that, Li Congqing wanted to recruit a group of generals to serve, but Lin Renzhao had already left Jinling City in advance, and secretly took away his family members and relatives in Jinling City, and went to Runzhou. Li Congqing vaguely felt that this Lin Renzhao was a little different in his heart, and Huangfu Jixun had been monitoring in front of the generals' mansions in the capital, and then reported the news of Lin Renzhao's farewell to Li Congqing, Li Congqing heard about it, he was furious, and he immediately sent a hundred men and horses to chase after him, hoping to leave Lin Renzhao in Jinling City, but the men and horses he sent were killed in the northeast of the city, and only one of the fish that escaped fled to the palace of Qi in a hurry.

Ninety-nine people were killed, and only one was left alive, it was really a heavy number of casualties, was Lin Renzhao's behavior a provocation or disregard for his authority, or something else, or did he already know his intentions. Li Congqing was furious, and immediately sent more men out of Jinling to surround and intercept Lin Renzhao.

——

In Runzhou City, Lin Renzhao had already returned to the station, and some of the men and horses sent by Li Congqing were also surrounded outside Runzhou City for a while, refusing to retreat, hovering outside Runzhou City day and night, shouting loudly for Lin Renzhao to leave the city.

Lin Renzhao is sitting in the mansion at the moment, he is thinking about the current situation, he doesn't know how to break through, how to attack? Now Runzhou is separated by a Yangtze River moat in the north is Yangzhou, he took out Li Yu's handwritten letter and a jade pendant from his cuffs, and now he has Li Yu's handwritten letter, but he doesn't know how to recruit the army, rebel, how to write a letter, and ask the thief to help the king.

Lin Renzhao sat on the stool, looking extremely restless, and the generals on the side were also secretly planning for Lin Renzhao in their hearts.

At this moment, suddenly three Taoist priests in Tsing Yi appeared at the door of the mansion, and their six legs began to step neatly into front of the mansion.

One of them said, "Master, this is General Lin's mansion." ”

"Well, this is it."
