Chapter 119: Nantang's reaction

Zhang Chongxu felt that he was beginning to be reused, and finally he was no longer a nobody, hmph, Zhai Shouxun was not trampled under my feet now.

"Since your lord listened to what Chen Sizhi said, it should be true, this court may already be dissatisfied with you, besides, you are a clan relative of the previous dynasty, the Great Song Dynasty has probably regarded you as a thorn in the flesh and a thorn in the eye, even if you surrender, you will inevitably die."

When Li Chongjin heard this, this also made sense, and now the ministers loyal to the Zhou Dynasty have thrown themselves into the arms of the old man Zhao Kuangyin, and the only loyal minister Li Yun was slaughtered.

His relationship with the previous dynasty is closer than Li Yun, and there have been rumors that the imperial court is going to do it to himself, and he has also received news that the imperial court is ready to prepare the army before the war.

Don't say that this news is also said by Chen Siyu in "Drunk", or accidentally said that he missed his mouth reads;.

Li Chongjin thought for a while and then said:

"What should we do then?"

Zhang Chonghe pretended to be dressed in deep clothes: "City wall."

Two words make Li Chongjin very strange, or rather puzzled, the city wall? What are you doing with the city wall at this time?

"Yes, I'm talking about the city wall, first of all, Yangzhou is our base camp, we can't lose it, we must hold it firmly, and again we must have a safe and stable rear, which is the most important thing."

The city wall of Yangzhou is the weak place of Yangzhou, and Yangzhou is a very easy place to be breached, otherwise Chai Rong would not have easily taken Yangzhou when he conquered Huainan.

Now it is Li Chongjin's turn to have a headache, and he is also very worried in the face of the tall and not solid city wall, in case it is attacked by the army of the imperial court, it is really vulnerable.

Therefore, it is really necessary to build the city wall, and this suggestion immediately received Li Chongjin's attention, so he also very much agreed with the construction of the city wall, but the problem came again, he had no money to repair the city wall by himself.

Since there is news that the imperial army is ready to prepare, it means that they are also paying attention to their own, so they must act as soon as possible, money, money.

At this time, Zhang Chonghe, the dog-headed military advisor, said again, isn't it money, we have it, we Yangzhou lacks everything, but there is no shortage of money.

Yangzhou has now slowly become a trade distribution center, there are a lot of businessmen here every day to stop and transit, Yangzhou's wharf is busy every day, a lively and extraordinary scene.

What businessmen don't lack is money, and according to Zhang Chonghe's meaning, the people here can "borrow" money from them. As for building the city walls, the people of the city can build them!

Originally, Li Chongjin was still thinking about it, but at this time, there was news from a celebrity around an emperor in the capital that His Majesty accidentally said something dissatisfied with Li Chongjin, which meant that Li Chongjin had to speed up his pace.

He still wants to count on this Khitan, but after so long, there is still no news from the Khitan, and now he can't count on the Khitan, so he still relies on himself.

But with such a small number of troops, he really has no ability to compete with the Great Song Dynasty, not to mention the elite soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty, and there are a large number of fierce generals who followed Zhao Kuangyin to conquer the south and the north. It's hard to stand alone.

What does a strategist do, a strategist is a strategist, Lao Zhang has now fully done what a strategist should do, and he has given Li Chongjin a clever plan, that is, to cooperate with Nantang.

His reason is very simple, the Southern Tang Dynasty was forced to cede the fourteen states of Jiangbei to the Great Zhou, and he was unwilling, if he united with the Southern Tang Dynasty now and opposed the Great Song Dynasty together, the odds of victory would be great.

And if he can really defeat the Great Song Dynasty, he promised to return the fourteen states of Jiangbei to the Tang State, so that there will be nothing to do?

So Li Chongjin happily wrote a letter and sent someone to quickly send it to Li Jing, the lord of the Southern Tang Dynasty, which probably meant that.

Dear Emperor of the Southern Tang Dynasty,

I, Li Chongjin, is the imperial prince of the Great Zhou, how can I help my emperor Zhao Kuangyin, who is young and has wolf ambitions, it is he who took away the Jiangshan Sheji of my Great Zhou, as the imperial prince, I can't sleep at night.

Always thinking about restoring the artifact of my Great Zhou, now I, Li Chongjin, am determined to oppose the Song Dynasty and restore the world of my Great Zhou, hoping to get the help of the Southern Tang Dynasty, and after the matter is completed, I promise to return the ten states of Jiangbei to the Tang Kingdom.

This is a win-win-win thing, I hope you can consider it carefully, and I am here to wait for your good news.

Anyway, the general meaning of this letter is that I, Li Chongjin, am a close relative of the Zhou family, and I am favored by the first emperor, and I can't bear to see the imperial power of Sheji fall into the hands of others, so the court is ready to send troops to Kaifeng to conquer Zhao Kuangyin.

I also hoped that Li Yu, the lord of the Southern Tang Dynasty, would send a righteous army to send troops with me, and Li Chongjin also promised Li Jing that after the matter was completed, he would return the fourteen states of Jiangbei to him.

The following inscription is the commander of the Great Zhou Ma Bu Army, the Huainan Jiedu envoy, and the school inspector Li Chongjin. These official positions were all Li Chongjin's positions in the Zhou Dynasty, and now he calls himself so to draw a line with the Great Song Dynasty.

When the lord of the Southern Tang Dynasty received this letter, he was also very hesitant, now Li Jing is very old, in fact, his age is not very large, but he is like an old man in the twilight, he has long lost the momentum when he first ascended the throne.

In the place where he usually reviews the chapters, he was silent for a long time holding this letter, and the loss of the fourteen states of Jiangbei was an eternal pain in his heart, for which he lost a large part of his homeland and the people of Li.

What's even more infuriating is that he was also forced to recognize the Great Zhou as Zhengshuo, and later the Zhou Dynasty was replaced, and the Great Song Dynasty was established, which continued unabated, and he felt that he was really a wretched emperor.

Now that Huainan Jiedu has made Li Chongjin write a letter hoping that he can join forces with him to attack the Great Song Dynasty, Li Jing is really a little moved.

But this is also a big thing at first sight, not that he agrees with him, and he still needs to discuss it with the ministers, Li Jing is still quite democratic, in fact, it is better to say that he is a little incompetent.

He had already ordered someone to invite King Wu and some important ministers in the court to come and discuss what to do about this matter.

It didn't take long for Li Congjia to take the lead in and salute his father, and then Feng Yansi, Feng Yanlu, the two brothers, Li Deming, Han Xuan, Chen Qiao and other ministers also came in, these people were already the pillars of the imperial court.

"See the emperor and meet King Wu."

Since the death of Li Jing's eldest son Li Hongji, Li Congjia is the de facto eldest son, and now he is named King Wu, that is, the prince of the East Palace, and the world of the Tang Kingdom will be his in the future.

Li Jing didn't have any nonsense, just said the purpose of letting them come, and also browsed the letter sent by Li Chongjin in his hand to everyone, and Li Jing asked them to talk about their opinions.

Everyone, look at me, I'll see if you didn't have anyone to say it first, at this time Han Xizai stood up:

"Your Majesty, Weichen thinks this is an opportunity."

"Oh, Han Xizai, you said this is an opportunity, tell me your reasons." Li Jing seemed a little impatient.

"Weichen thinks so, the current Song Dynasty was also established on behalf of the Zhou Dynasty, the foundation is still shallow, the internal is very unstable, Zhou Shizong Chai Rong is loved by the people, and people are still at home with his tablet."

"That is to say, there are many people who miss the Zhou Dynasty, there is Li Yun in front of them, and now there is Li Chongjin, there must be a lot of people in the back to wait and see, as long as we promise to unite with Li Chongjin, the Song Dynasty will be in chaos, we can take the opportunity to recover our fourteen states in Jiangbei, and if possible, we can also occupy some of the land of the Song Dynasty."

As soon as his words fell, Chen Qiao immediately agreed, and they were all in favor of suing for peace with the Zhou Dynasty before, that is to say, they were the main battle faction.

Chen Qiao jumped out to support it, and some people objected, this person is Feng Yansi, who is now the boss of the Lord and the faction:

"What Lord Han said is also good, but Lord Han knows that Li Yun raised troops against the Song Dynasty and lasted less than a month before being pacified by Zhao Kuangyin, Li Yun's soldiers don't know how much more than Li Chongjin, and they are also a lot stronger, how much chance this Li Chongjin can win."

Feng Yansi said that everyone really ignores this problem, yes, Li Yun has been stationed at the border all the year round, it can be said that he is not a veteran of a hundred battles, and now he has also died in Zhao Kuangyin's forehead, this Li Chongjin is far worse than him.

Seeing everyone's pensive looks, Lao Feng continued:

"I also heard that this Li Chongjin is now short of soldiers and food, and it is tantamount to a fool's dream to think about it with the walls of Yangzhou City, I think he did this to pull us into the water, don't eat mutton at that time, but get into trouble."

"Lord Feng is inevitably a little alarmist, the so-called wealth is in danger, how can we know if we don't try, besides, we are still less persecuted by the Song Dynasty?"

Han Xizai said this with anger in his eyes, and the last time Zhao Kuangyin sent an envoy to the Southern Tang Dynasty when he ascended the throne, he mistakenly replied that Zhao Kuangyin wanted him to put on the demeanor of a great country.

This envoy thought that there was no taboo with the support of the emperor, and he was really domineering when he was in the Southern Tang Dynasty, and even Li Jing called himself me at that time, but he was said to be trespassing, not to mention other people.

"So the minister Han Xizai implored the emperor to send troops to Jiangbei." Saying that, Han Xizai knelt on the main hall.

Feng Yansi also knelt down: "The emperor's ministers ......"

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Li Jing: "Okay, you all calm down, Congjia tells me what you think." Li Jing saw Li Congjia, the old god on the side, thought he had something to think, and asked.

"Yes, father, what the two adults just said is reasonable, but the sons still think that it is better for us not to fight, so it is the people who will suffer in the end, and besides, our strength is far from the Song Dynasty, and it is not wise to conflict with them now."

Seeing that Li Jing was not unhappy, he continued: "Our main task now is to recuperate, gather strength, and when we have the opportunity in the future, we will definitely restore our homeland, not now." ”.
