Chapter 176: Zhao Kuangyin invited troops

Good things don't go out, bad things spread thousands of miles, and everything that happened in the river north of Runzhou has spread to the whole world.

In Jinling City, Jiangning Prefecture, Zhao Dezhao and others have also learned about the water battle on the Runzhou River, and now the Shenwei Water Army Zhu Lingyun has lost a part of the water army, and the victorious side temporarily belongs to the side of Lin Renzhao of the Runzhou Water Army.

Zhao Dezhao estimated that the envoys of the Song State had already arrived in Wu Yueguo, the Southern Han Dynasty and Quanzhou, after all, it was a fact that Li Congqing was plotting rebellion, which could not be changed, and now Li Yu's family was also sent to Kaifeng as a key protection object to be protected, Li Yu was in hand, and the Great Song Dynasty had a trump card.

In Jinling City, in a hall of the Protocol House, Wang Pu, Cao Bin and other envoys of the Song Kingdom also learned about the situation in Runzhou, and suddenly Wang Pu felt something, he keenly sniffed out all this, and then he slapped his thigh, and said to Cao Bin with a clear look on his face: "Why is the old man so confused, now that he thinks about it, he actually knows where His Royal Highness is?" ”

"What?" After Cao Bin listened, his eyes stared at Wang Pu who was sitting in the seat, and hurriedly asked, "Old Master Wang, do you know where His Highness is?" ”

Wang Pu stroked his long beard and said with a smile: "With the old man's understanding of the King of Wei, how could this King of Wei disappear so easily, I'm afraid he is in this Jinling City at the moment, maybe this battle in Runzhou was also caused by the King of Wei?" ”

Cao Bin didn't believe it when he heard it, he looked at Wang Pu curiously, and said suspiciously: "Why does Old Master Wang think so?" ”

"He is the King of Wei, but he is not a cloth man." Wang Pu looked at Cao Bin, shook his hand and said with a smile, "King Wei is a person who does great things, and God will not look at King Wei missing like this, this Li Congqing has sent a lot of people to be stunned that he has not found King Wei, King Wei must have hidden it and deliberately did not find it for him, Your Majesty will send us to Tang State to send envoys and dignitaries, if King Wei has not come out, this is not Your Majesty's anger, it is the people of Tang State who want to be angry." ”

"Mrs. Wang is right to say this, if it is as you said, I will definitely be able to grasp this opportunity." Cao Bin listened to Wang Pu's words, and suddenly figured out that the disappearance of King Wei caused a lot of public opinion, and now Song Guo didn't treat Tang Guo like this.

The two of them sat in this hall and did not speak for a long time, as if they had realized something. The little nobleman on the side had been serving them water and tea, and when he heard the conversation between Wang Pu and Cao Bin, he smiled but didn't say anything. Since this period of time, he has been staying in the protocol house, although King Wei Chitose has also been staying in Jinling City, but Xiao Guizi does not let others know about the whereabouts of King Wei, and Zhao Dezhao did not go to Xiao Guizi and them, and Xiao Guizi has been pretending to be worried every day.

……

In less than three days, time turned to the beginning of the fifth year of Qiande (967) of the following year, at this moment in Jiangnan and other places, in the eastern coastal country of Wuyueguo, which occupies 86 counties of 13 states and 1st army. In the western mansion of Wuyue Kingdom, the envoys sent by the Great Song Dynasty brought the national letter of the Song Emperor. The envoys of the Great Song Dynasty took a boat and went along the Grand Canal to the Xifu (Hangzhou) of Wuyue Kingdom.

On the side of Xifu, the water of Wulin is rippling, a large number of temples, pagodas, prayer buildings and grottoes are built around, Zhaoqing Temple, Jingci Temple, Li'an Temple, Liutong Temple and Taoguang Nunnery, etc., list the surroundings, there is the name of the Buddha country. The river water of the Qiantang River on the periphery of Wulin Water is also rolling eastward, and on the bank of the Qiantang River, a stone pond about 338593 zhang long defends the thoughtfulness of Wuyue Xifu.

Xifu, west from Qinwang Mountain, along the Qiantang River to Jianggan, near Qiantang Lake (West Lake) to Baobao Mountain, northeast to Genshan Gate. There are more than 100,000 homes inside and outside the city, surrounded by lakes and mountains, and the left and right are reflected.

At the foot of Phoenix Mountain, in the prosperous Xifu Palace, Qian Yu (Qian Hongyu), the monarch of Wuyue Kingdom, had already received Zhao Kuangyin's letter of state at this moment.

Qian Yu was thoughtful, combined with the military report sent by his subordinates, he already knew what happened in the Tang Kingdom before, and now the Great Song Emperor sent an envoy to come, also because of this matter, but he didn't know what the Great Song envoy was going to say.

The Great Song Dynasty sent Wu Yue's envoys to present Zhao Kuangyin's handwritten letter and national letter, Qian Yu spread out the letter and read it, the letter has learned some things that happened in the Tang Kingdom, but the news that Li Yu is still alive makes him unbelievable, and even more Zhao Kuangyin also stated the news of Li Yu in Tokyo in the letter.

Li Yu is still alive, which means that Li Congqing's usurpation of the throne is intolerable, and Zhao Kuangyin asked Qian Yu in a letter to send some soldiers and horses north to help, jointly crusade against the puppet emperor Li Congqing, and help the Tang Dynasty.

And for Qian Yue, due to the narrow land and few soldiers, Wu Yue has always been loyal to the Central Plains as the main military strategy. At present, the Great Song Dynasty wants to send troops to help each other, and Wu Yueguo's national policy has always been to respect the Central Plains and pay tribute to the Central Plains dynasties, which is rare in the sea. Qian Yu understood that he had to send troops as well, so that the Great Song would be blessed by the Great Song Dynasty and effectively defend against the (Southern) Tang Dynasty's invasion of Wu Yueguo.

He already knew a rough idea, and as described in the letter from the Song Emperor brought by the Song envoy, Li Congqing had done all the crazy things for the throne

"Since Emperor Song is like this, I, Wu Yue, will inevitably send troops to help, crusade against the puppet emperor Li Congqing, and help the Tang Kingdom." Although Qian Yu said so, he thought in his heart that if he went north to send troops to the Tang State this time, Wu Yueguo would also have to grab some territory from the Tang State, so that he could also expand the territory of Wu Yueguo.

"In that case, I, Da Song, are waiting for news from King Wu Yue." The envoys of the Great Song Dynasty retreated.

……

At the same time, after Lin Renzhao won a battle in Runzhou, he began to preach to the world what the puppet emperor Li Congqing had done, and he led the army of King Qin to be stationed around the Qinhuai River for a long time, and began to confront the forbidden army inside and outside the city of Jiangning Mansion.

Li Congqing also ordered the defenders outside Jinling City in Jiangning Mansion to guard the side of the Qinhuai River day and night, and put an iron bucket inside and outside Jinling City.

Lin Renzhao, as the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses, proclaimed the king's way outside Jinling City day and night, and criticized Li Congqing with words and writings.

In the last battle of Runzhou, although he won, he understood that if the current situation was a defeat for both sides, it would be the Song State that would get the cheapest, Lin Renzhao deeply believed in this truth, but this Li Congqing may not think so, if he wants to sit on the throne, he must send an army to kill himself to calm down.

It's just that Lin Renzhao naturally won't let Li Congqing succeed, and now what Lin Renzhao is doing is to disturb the hearts of the people of Jinling, and he believes that with Li Yu's people's will, the people of Jinling should be loyal to Li Yu.

……

Half a month later, the fleet of the Great Song Dynasty envoys from Quanzhou Thornton Port also got off Thornton Port and went to Quanzhou Qingyuan Jiedu Embassy.

Along the way, the envoys of the Great Song Dynasty also saw the changes in Quanzhou, and since a few years before Liu Han's envoy, everything in Quanzhou has quietly changed again, all of which surprised Liu Han and others.

In the city of Quanzhou, there is a plant full of thorn trees, and the branches and leaves are luxuriant, and Liu Han is full of praise when he sees it.

The tavern tea shop next to the street is very neat and clean, and it is mixed with the style of other countries, and there are many small merchants selling along the street, etc., all of which have witnessed the prosperity of Quanzhou, especially the development of Guangwei Restaurant in Quanzhou in recent years, the taste of Guangwei Restaurant integrates the northern cuisine, the cuisine of the south and the taste of Champong, Arab countries and other countries, so that the people of Quanzhou also taste the flavors of various countries, and there is Liu Han in Tokyo City can not eat delicious food.

The feudal merchants of various countries are also walking on the streets, some of them have been living in Quanzhou for many years, Liu Han and others looked up step by step, and saw a feudal merchant leading a Han mother-in-law walking on the street, and a mixed-race child shopping on the street, and fluent Chinese also came out of the mouth of the feudal merchant.

Not long after leaving, Liu Han and other envoys also arrived at the Jiedu Embassy.

In the palace, Chen Hongjin has already learned of the intention of the envoys of the Great Song Dynasty, and the special city and maritime merchants that have been implemented in Quanzhou in recent years have made Quanzhou's economic development more rapid and the people of Quanzhou to live a very good life.

Chen Hongjin understood that he was just a feudal envoy, and since he succeeded him as the governor of Quanzhou and Zhangzhou after his death, Chen Hongjin has been reforming the fields, building water conservancy, and continuing maritime trade. Quanzhou and Zhangzhou are only a corner of the country, and they are still weak in the whole world, and there are only Quanzhou, Zhangzhou and the fourteen counties under his jurisdiction (including Putian County and Xianyou County, which were later separated from Quanzhou).

In order to protect the two states of Quannan, he still attached himself to the Southern Tang Dynasty on the one hand, and sent Wei Renji to the Song Emperor Zhao Kuangyin as a minister, expressing his willingness to return to the Song Dynasty. Chen Hongjin knows very well that the land of Quannan is thin and there are few people, so this army is naturally not good, and the tax in Quannan is indeed the most profitable piece in the world, and Chen Hongjin plans to sacrifice the army.

The envoys of the Song State understood Chen Hongjin's thoughts, so they gladly accepted it, and Chen Hongjin took Quannan's wealth from the treasury and transported it to the sea.

On the one hand, the officials of the common people of the Great Song Dynasty operated in Liuzhou, vigorously developed the Liuzhou area, built new factories, shipyards, roads, planted many crops, and vigorously developed the breeding industry. The economy of the Liuzhou region also provided a lot of help to the Great Song Dynasty, and this time the Great Song Dynasty's warships, weapons and part of the Champa rice were transported from here.

This time, Liuzhou also received an edict from the emperor, and he had to transport a batch of ships, weapons, rice and other goods over.

After seven or eight days, on the side of the Southern Han Dynasty, in the city of Guangzhou, the envoys of the Great Song Dynasty finally arrived here belatedly.

Today's (Southern) Han has long become a vassal state of the Great Song Dynasty, this credit is none other than Wei King Zhao Dezhao, these few months of management, Erwazi has been silently performing the duty of pretending to be Liu Gang's identity, in terms of internal affairs so that the (Southern) Han This small affiliated country has been stabilized, and the people's lives are also a lot more stable.

After the envoys of the Great Song Dynasty arrived in Guangzhou, they conveyed Zhao Kuangyin's will, and Erwazi also received a secret letter from Zhao Dezhao, the king of Wei, this time the Song envoy came, and Erwazi naturally supported it all, and also let the forbidden army palace in charge of military power check that Zhi Tingxiao was ready to recruit some troops in Guangzhou to go north to support the Song State.

The envoys of the Song State were very surprised, originally they thought that they would have to take a lot of time, but this (Southern) Han lord was so docile, which was beyond their expectations.

However, the last time the King of Wei sent an envoy to the (Southern) Han Dynasty, he finally let Liu Gang contribute the land of Bazhou to the Great Song Dynasty, which may be the foundation laid by the King of Wei for them.

After some envoys, the countries and regions in the south have agreed to the request of the Song State, and jointly sent troops to the north to crusade against Li Congqing, who committed unrighteous acts and became the emperor, and supported the Tang Dynasty.

The army began to move north, and began to set off along the border, and a storm was coming.
