Chapter 82: It's worth the trip
Li Chongjin raised an army against the Song Dynasty on 25 July, and according to the original plan, he did not plan to raise troops so early.
First, the preparations on the Huainan side have not yet been made, and second, the assistance from the Southern Tang side has not yet been determined, so it should not be rushed. He didn't think it was funny to use the word on himself. originally planned to cooperate with Luzhou, but Li Yun was buried in the fire and turned into ashes for many days, and he was not ready......
After some hesitation, Li Chongjin began to be unhurried, preparing weapons and armor, military salaries, grain and grass step by step, and taking the road of accumulating grain and slowing down the rebellion. As for whether Zhao Kuangyin of Bianliang is aware of his ambitions, he doesn't seem to care at all.
As a feudal official who is ready to rebel, such a mentality is really a realm.
Even so, Li Chongjin's luck was still bad, there were always accidents, and a sudden situation made him have to act in advance and raise troops to rebel.
The matter was caused by a small supervisor of the Huainan Jiedu Embassy, this person was named An Yougui, who had accompanied Zhao Kuangyin to fight in Huainan in the early years. Now that Zhao Kuangyin has ascended the throne as the emperor, Li Chongjin is resentful in his heart, and naturally he does not like the rules of peace and friendship, and even has a lot of suspicion.
People are able to observe words and feelings, and An Yougui is very aware of this, and it is very dangerous not to be suspicious of a moody person like Li Chongjin. In particular, the relationship between Huainan and Bianliang is becoming more and more strained, and it will not end well if he is forced to be caught in the middle.
After thinking about it, An Yougui wanted to understand a truth, instead of losing his life at any time in Huainan, it was better to go to Bianliang. With the love of incense with Zhao Kuangyin in the past, he may be able to find an official and a half-job, and he may be able to find a bright future.
After making up his mind, An Yougui had the idea of leaving Huainan to join Zhao Kuangyin. Before leaving, he also wanted to persuade some of the deployments around him, but unfortunately the matter was not confidential and was discovered by Li Chongjin.
However, An Yougui was clever and escaped from Yangzhou City before Li Chongjin was rounded up, and successfully escaped into the range of the Song army.
In this way, Huainan's preparation for rebellion was finally leaked and known to the Song court. (In fact, everyone knows it, but due to their own difficulties, they did not immediately disclose it.)
An Yougui's escape made this tacit and close attention to each other, but temporarily withheld the contradiction public. When Li Chongjin saw this situation, he knew that he could no longer hide it, so he had to openly raise troops.
killed the dozen or so generals who An Yougui was persuading to surrender, raised troops from Yangzhou, and sent troops to fight in the name of Zhao Kuangyin's ingratitude and rebellion......
Things were a little hasty, the Huainan army itself was not well prepared (God didn't know when they would be ready), and the support of the Southern Tang Dynasty was far away, and Li Chongjin became more and more anxious.
He was expecting more and more from Han Wei, but he didn't know that Han Humpback was in the warm tent and was happy......
……
An Yougui arrived in Huaibei, Zhao Kuangyin may not seem to see him, but since he came, he couldn't turn him away. From now on, you can't stand still.
So he immediately arranged for Zhao Guangyi to stay in Da Nei, Wu Tingzuo and Lu Yuqing to stay in Bianliang, and personally led the army to the southeast to kill. The Song army marched south along the Bianshui Canal, and the march was very fast.
Within a few days, Zhao Kuangyin's warship arrived at Sizhou on the bank of the Huai River, which was Xuyi in later generations. With Shi Shouxin as the capital of Yangzhou as the camp, Li Chuyun as the capital supervisor, and Song Yanwu as the capital arranging envoy, he led the forbidden army to immediately launch an attack on Huainan.
One month, two months, three months, Zhao Kuangyin proposed these three time nodes for the war. Within a month, the battlefield superiority of the Song army could be determined and the counterinsurgency could be successfully guaranteed, but there was a premise that the Southern Tang would not send troops. Within two months, the overall situation of the meeting has basically been decided, and even if the Southern Tang Dynasty sends troops, it will be useless......
After March, Huainan can be completely pacified, the order can be stabilized, and the army can be on the river, and the south of the Yangtze River can be seen across the river......
At this time, it was very important for the Song army to fight bravely, and it was equally important for the Southern Tang Dynasty to stabilize its position.
Like Li Chongjin, Zhao Kuangyin did not receive exact news......
However, in contrast, the lack of news can be regarded as good news for the Song army, and it is a long and painful wait for the Huainan army......
However, Zhao Kuangyin is not very reassured, if there is a change in Jiangnan, the situation in Huainan will also become very bad. Don't take it lightly until you're completely sure of the results......
The secret edict has been sent to Jiangnan, whether Zhao Zheng can stabilize it is really worrying!
……
Zhao Zheng, who had just walked to the foot of Qixia Mountain, suddenly sneezed, and couldn't help but wonder in his heart, who was talking to me like this? Or has Jiangnan autumn arrived, and I accidentally caught a cold?
On the fifth day of the first month of August, there was a master in Qixia Temple to give a lecture, and Emperor Zhou E, the princess of Wu of the Tang Dynasty, made an invitation to invite Zhao Zheng, the envoy of the Song Dynasty, to come to the Buddha and visit the mountain. Of course, it is definitely impossible for Zhao Zheng and Zhou Ehuang to travel alone.
A dignified princess, how could Princess Wu, who will be the mother of the world in the future, contact men alone? If Li Congjia, the king of Wu, did not come, this activity would not be able to go on at all.
From the moment Emperor Zhou E made the invitation, Zhao Zheng had doubts in his heart, but it was difficult to refuse. At this time, it is not a wise move to offend Li Congjia.
It can be seen how much Li Jing and Empress Zhong love Li Congjia, and his identity as King Wu shows his influence in this country. If he offended, Li Congjia muttered a few words in Li Jing's ear, asking for troops. After a few contacts, it can be seen that this "genius" is not big-eyed, and he is a guy who is prone to jealousy. It can be seen from the examples in history that they killed several pillar countries because of suspicion, and it is necessary to be false and wronged.
Zhao Kuangyin is fighting fiercely in Huainan, and he can't make trouble for him at this time, so Li Congjia's face still has to be given.
In fact, if you talk about it carefully, I really want to thank Li Congjia.
If it weren't for congratulating him on his housewarming, it would be very painful to stay in Nantang now, nominally to celebrate Li Jing's birthday. Now that people's birthdays are over, what are you doing in Jiangnan?
With the excuse that Li Congjia stayed in the East Palace, he could justifiably stay in Jiangnan and complete the task assigned by Zhao Kuangyin. In this case, how can you refuse Li Congjia's invitation?
As for his purpose, it may be ill-intentioned, but it may also be to abandon his past suspicions and intend to repair it. Zhao Zheng received the news that Li Jing did have such a will, and specifically told Li Congjia. It's just that whether the dog can get rid of the problem of eating Xiang, it really makes people wait and see.
So let's take a look, anyway, I have to spend a lot of time in Jinling, and it's too boring to stay in the protocol every day. Autumn is high and cool, and it is the right time to visit around, so it is not pleasant. Qixia Mountain is one of the best scenery in Jinling, in the past several times to Nanjing have the intention to go, but in the end because of various reasons failed to make the trip, and now it is a dream of a different time and space!
Of course, it is necessary to be vigilant, and Zhao Zheng really wants to see if Li Congjia is playing tricks and has other plans? This can be regarded as a test, a test to see Li Congjia thoroughly.
When he arrived at Qixia Mountain and saw the lady of the kiln, Zhao Zheng felt that he might be disappointed. Li Congjia and Zhou Ehuang came to visit the Buddha and bring maids, so why bring dancers?
The lady is also excellent, and the dance is exquisite and beautiful, and it is really aggrieved to be a maid. But Li Congjia just took him, what was the purpose?
Zhao Zheng was a little more vigilant in his heart, and at the same time, he was even more curious, what kind of mystery did Li Congjia want?
Fortunately, with the glamorous and incomparable Emperor Zhou E as a companion, seeing beauties all the way is by no means boring, and it is worth the trip!

PS: Sanjiang only has one more chapter, which is a little unreasonable, and it is so late, Sanwen apologizes. I've been in the hospital from morning to night, and I'm upset when I come back at night, and I've only written so much, so everyone will read it first.
Who would have thought that a small neck pain would be so much, I thought that the strictest zhòng was nothing more than cervical spondylosis, but as a result, the doctor was alarmist, I hope he is alarmist. I'm going to have a check-up tomorrow, it's critical...... Good luck everyone, if it's okay, come back and update the code word, good night!
