The Tang defenders of Xuanwu Lake had been here for several months, and after the last defeat, the scouts had not found the location of Lin Renzhao's army, and Lin Renzhao seemed to have disappeared from this world in an instant.

The entire Xuanwu Lake near the place where people can hide has been searched, and the Yuanlian Temple has also been searched because of its proximity to Xuanwu Lake, but as soon as the Tang army came, Lin Renzhao's army hid in the tunnel, so that the Tang army could not find it.

After several unsuccessful searches, the Tang soldiers at Xuanwu Lake had already reported the situation of the rebel Lin Renzhao to Li Congqing through a fast horse, and at the same time, the battle report from the direction of Jurong was also transmitted back to the city.

In Jinling City, Jiangning Prefecture, the battle report of Jurong's loss was like a broken zither string, this break made Li Congqing's chest dull, Jurong's loss was regained, regained and lost, again and again, making Li Congqing, who had just recovered from his condition, feel disappointed again.

What made him even more uncomfortable was that Li Congqing didn't know why, a little bit of red spots suddenly appeared on his body, it was very itchy and unbearable, sometimes he scratched it with his nails, it was a blood mark, the scab and the blood mark that had just been scratched were mixed together, and over time, there was a blur of flesh and blood behind his body, but the itching never healed, sometimes when he saw Li Yannian, the itching was unbearable, he couldn't wait to vent on Li Yannian's body, but his body was a little weak recently, and he had to stop this thought.

Moreover, according to the imperial doctor, there is no way to do this, and you can only bathe in hot spring water every day to eliminate some itching.

Now, as soon as the battle report from the front came, Jurong Cheng broke, his chest was cramped and uneasy, and then his throat was sweet, and a mouthful of red blood had spurted out of the corner of his mouth unscrupulously, making the tabletop, the corner of the table and the entire ground.

As soon as the waiters of the Yellow Gate and the sergeants who had snatched the battle report on the side saw it, they immediately hurried out to announce the imperial doctor of the Hanlin Medical Academy.

Li Yannian immediately moved the fainting Li Congqing from the table to the dragon bed, he looked at Li Congqing with a face as white as paper nervously, and nervously held Li Congqing's cold hand when there was no one around.

Under the summons of the inner servant, the imperial doctor Liu Deren hurriedly came with a medicine box on his back, and at this moment he was lying in front of the dragon bed, checking his pulse.

When Liu Deren saw Li Congqing's appearance, he immediately pressed his finger on the acupuncture point under Li Congqing's nose, and not long after, Li Congqing, who was asleep, woke up leisurely.

Li Congqing saw everything around him, and the imperial doctor Liu Deren was treating himself.

"Imperial Doctor Liu, what's wrong with Your Majesty?" The waiter on the side asked urgently.

Liu Deren said: "Your Majesty is in a hurry, and the weather has been hot recently, and there is a heat in Your Majesty's body, and now Your Majesty's condition, it is better to be less angry, and the minister has just diagnosed His Majesty's vein, and found that His Majesty's kidney yuan is missing, whether it has been ...... recently" Liu Deren did not give obvious instructions, because the emperor favored someone, and the spring night every day, resulting in kidney loss.

However, what made Liu Deren's heart beat even more was that Li Congqing was not just a kidney loss, he found that Li Congqing's body seemed to have an unspeakable hidden, and he didn't have any way to solve it.

"Thank you, Imperial Doctor Liu." Li Congqing is still lying on the dragon couch at the moment, waiting for Li Yannian next to him, Li Yannian doesn't know why, recently there are suddenly a lot of rashes on his body, sometimes he wakes up in the middle of the night because of itching, and there are many nail marks on his back.

Then Liu Deren took out acupuncture from the medicine box and pricked it on several key acupuncture points of Li Congqing.

"Wait for the minister to prescribe a few pills for His Majesty to eat, and His Majesty's body can recover."

After the diagnosis was completed, the imperial physician Liu Deren had already left the Zhaoqing Hall with the medicine box on his back.

……

The road to the palace is long, and after the imperial doctor Liu Deren set off from the palace, he went back to the mansion directly, and then he changed into his usual clothes, and went out of the back door of the mansion and took a donkey cart to the direction of the Qinhuai River.

The most lively place in Jinling City is the Qingyin Pavilion, where the two-story platform is arranged, and the Tingchao Hall is more important.

Since entrusting Zhao Dezhao, the clansmen of the merchants in the merchant village have been working here.

Qingyin Pavilion was as lively as ever, and the literati and eunuchs who listened to the music rushed here all the time.

Because it is a place of ointment and a place of romance, although Liu Deren is an imperial doctor, he sometimes likes to rush here.

The donkey cart had already arrived at the door of Qingyin Pavilion, and Liu Deren instructed his subordinates to park the cart aside, and then he swaggered inside.

In today's listening tide hall, only Zhao Dezhao is a few people, but in the rest of the halls, the rest of the literati and eunuchs who listen to the music will gather.

Liu Deren carried his steps, hummed a little song in his mouth, and arrived at the door of the listening tide hall alone.

Soon after, Liu Deren knelt down in front of Zhao Dezhao and reported Li Congqing's physical condition in the palace one by one.

"I heard that this guy likes male pets, but I didn't expect it to come to this point, hum. However, it's better that this guy is sick, so that I won't have to go through the trouble of killing, and you can let him suffer and destroy himself. Zhao Dezhao understands that the consequences of that kind of disease, he is secretly glad at the moment, maybe this is the legendary incurable disease, it should be similar to venereal diseases, and Li Congqing and Li Yannian will also die of this disease in the future.

Liu Deren stood in the Tingchao Hall for a while, and at this moment he arched his hand and said: "Your Highness, the minister has retired first, otherwise it will make people suspicious." ”

Zhao Dezhao immediately said at the moment when Liu Deren turned around and pushed the door out: "Liu Deren, you go down first, remember that Li Congqing's medicine still has to be taken, you must not let him die." ”

"Deren remembered." He had already stepped out of the listening hall, respectfully closed the door and walked away.

At this moment, Zhao Dezhao wanted to laugh a little, he single-handedly arranged to promote the good things of Li Congqing and Li Yannian, but now it has become the source of the two of them dying here in the future, but Zhao Dezhao did not feel that he had done anything wrong, Li Congqing's life can be worth the lives of many people, and such a person is not worthy of sympathy at all.

Immediately afterwards, Chen Yuan, Ouyang Yuntian, Yang Meng, Black-clothed Tanhua, Wan Song, Yang Che, Yang Guang and others arrived in the Tingchao Hall one after another, today is a confidential matter in Changchun Hall, and Lin Renzhao and others are naturally excluded.

Changchun Hall has a deep foundation in Jiangning Mansion, and everyone who entrusts everything to himself must naturally rest assured.

Now on the western front, Cao Bin and Pan Meibu have advanced the battle line step by step, and they are fifty miles away from Jinling, and it won't be long before Cao Bin and Pan Mei can come to the city, poke Li Congqing's chest and poke at the important place, in quarrying, the pontoon bridge built by the soldiers of the Song Army with their lives, at this moment, the south is connected to quarrying, and the north is connected to Hezhou, like a water lifeline, and the Song army and horse infantry on the north bank of the river are also continuously supplied from the north bank, and the navy is also guarding this lifeline.

Through the quarrying pontoon bridge, the grain, straw, ordnance and other materials of the Great Song army made the support of Cao Bin and Pan Mei sufficient and strong, and also made the balance of the war more and more inclined to the Song army.

It's just that now, the closer the war is, the more worried Zhao Dezhao's heart is, for the war situation, the battlefield is changing rapidly. Zhao Dezhao must be fully prepared to prepare for the battle.

In addition, he also learned that on the river on the north side of Jiangning Mansion, the Song State Navy has led the elite Navy of the Song Division to lie across the river, from the map, it is like condescending, overlooking the entire Jiangnan area, where the east is Jingkou, and the south is Jinling City, Jiangning Prefecture, and on the south bank of the Yangtze River, the Song army has clearly seen the Tang State Navy swimming in the river, they came out of that estuary, surrounded by a semicircular defensive zone, according to the map, Behind that defensive belt is the Qinhuai River Front and the Xuanwu Lake Tang Army's naval army station.

The Song Army's Chizhou to Yuezhou River Road Patrol Battle has deployed Wang Ming and Hao Shourong, the eight envoys, to lead the Song Army's naval division, forming a peripheral copper wall on the north side of the Jiangning Mansion, and this line of defense also makes the Tang Shenwei Naval Army west of Jingkou and south of the river feel pressure.

The Chizhou to Yuezhou River Road Patrol Battle was deployed Wang Ming and Eight Envoys Hao Shourong were holding the clairvoyant mirror in their hands one after another at this moment to get a glimpse of the Shenwei Naval Army on the south side of the river.

After Hao Shourong saw the Tang Shenwei Naval Army at the ferry and the mouth of the river in the distance, he said to Wang Ming: "Wang Deployment, you see that the Shenwei Naval Army can't shrink out, and has been compressing the battle line in Xuanwu Lake, Qinhuai River and other places, I don't know what to pay attention to?" ”

Chizhou to Yuezhou River Road Inspection Battle Deployment Wang Ming listened to Hao Shourong's words, according to what he observed, but he felt that the Tang State's Shenwei Naval Army was now at the end of the strong crossbow, because a few days ago, the Song Army's Eastern Front Naval Army had successively captured the entire Jingkou, and the rest of the naval reserve forces from the capital Kaifeng also entered the river through the Cao Canal, and now landed in Runzhou, intending to join the army of Ding Deyu and Qian Yu in Jurong.

Wang Ming said slowly: "Now that I, the Great Song Water Division, I am going to defend the Shenwei Naval Army to the death in this Hekou ferry and other places, so as not to let the other party have a hole to drill out of the river defense line of my Song Army." ”

Hao Shourong asked rhetorically: "When does the siege need to wait, and what should we do if the other party strikes at our army first?" ”

"All the way to the north of our army, Your Majesty has sent a large army, and has successively arranged a defensive line near Chuzhou, Liuhe, Yingluan Town, Yangzhou, Runzhou and Shanghai Port, the purpose of which is also to prevent the Tang State Shenwei Naval Army from flowing."

Hao Shourong nodded: "Your Majesty's hand is indeed clever, and now with this defense, even if the Tang army tears a hole from our army, the other party will become a fish and turtle in the urn, and sooner or later it will fall into the hands of my Great Song army." ”

"It's too early to say, now it's a matter of waiting for the rabbit, until our army in the upper reaches launches an attack, and then I can encircle it from the upstream and downstream, and I think this Qinhuai River is where they are buried." Wang Ming stared at the south, his eyes skimmed over the Shenwei Water Army station, and his thoughts had drifted farther to the southern hinterland, "It's just that now, I don't know if they have reached Jurong?" ”

Hao Shourong also understood Wang Ming's worries, and at this moment he was also looking forward to the actions of Jurong City upstream.

After the afternoon, the weather was a little hot, but fortunately a south wind had blown at this moment, and the water on the river was already splashing everywhere, so that the heat had temporarily subsided.

Rolling the Yangtze River to the east, Wang Ming immediately ordered all the sails on the ships to be raised, the wind blew the white sails high, along the south wind, the Song army's large and small warships, lined up all the ships of the Song army have withdrawn to the south bank of the river.

Hao Shourong was anxious and agile, and immediately understood what Wang Ming meant, and he secretly thought in his heart: "If it is pressed, I don't know what the Tang army will do to die with the enemy." ”

The Song army had arrived at Yingluan Town at this moment, temporarily gathered its forces here, and stationed along the riverbank.
