Chapter Eighty-Nine: Know Yourself and Know Your Enemy

From the very beginning, when Zhao Zheng got out of the misunderstanding of contacts, he began to think about who did Huainan Li Chongjin have contact with?

He made an analysis that this person must have influence in the Southern Tang Dynasty, and he must be able to influence his subjects, as well as the lord Li Jing. There are many such people, Zhong Mo, Han Xizai and even Huangfu Jixun are all possible.

In addition, this person must also be a main battle faction, and it is likely to be a hawk in the army. It is best to have military power in hand and extraordinary strength in order to really play a role.

As soon as the two are combined, there are not many people, needless to say those civil servants in the Southern Tang Dynasty, there are not many people who have foresight and courage in the Northern Expedition. Huangfu Jixun seems to be one, but Zhao Zheng feels that he is more for personal vendetta, and his essence is still a coward.

At this time, a person entered Zhao Zheng's field of vision, and that was Li Jingda. As Li Jing's younger brother, the king of Qi, before the official establishment of the crown prince, can be said to be above 10,000 people under one person, needless to say his own strength and influence.

Moreover, he is also the first person in the Southern Tang Army, with military power and prestige, great military achievements, convincing soldiers, and there must be many cronies of the generals, with great energy.

Both overt and covert news show that Li Jingda has repeatedly sent troops to Li Jingjian to Huainan to recover the 14 prefectures in Jiangbei. There is no doubt that he is a main battle faction, and the suspicion is naturally greater.

Before that, Zhao Zheng was just suspicious. Today in Qixia Mountain, his son Li Congqing appeared by a very coincidental coincidence, and his appearance was too positive, which made Zhao Zheng more suspicious, and this matter was not simple.

So, as soon as he returned to Jinling City, he and Li Yuan disguised themselves as gift courtyards and secretly followed Li Congqing. Originally, I didn't have much hope, I just hoped to find some clues along the vine, but now there are clues.

did not go back to the palace, but came to this small courtyard itself strange. After careful observation, I found that the location of this small courtyard is unique, but it seems very hidden in the downtown area, which is extraordinary.

When Li Congqing entered, they wanted to sneak in, but they didn't expect Li Congqing's guards to be very vigilant and tightly defended. In order to startle the snake, he had to restrain the curiosity in his heart and quietly monitor outside.

Li Congqing left, his expression was still so solemn, but the corners of his mouth had stretched a little, and the mood was completely different. The more it shows that there is something greasy in this!

This small courtyard is extraordinary, Zhao Zheng wants to sneak in to have a look, but he is afraid of startling the snake. It is absolutely stupid to alarm the other party at this time, and you must be extra cautious.

With a slight groan, Zhao Zheng ordered: "Li Yuan, mobilize our manpower in the shadows to monitor here." ”

"Yes!"

Seeing the starry sky, Zhao Zheng knew that tonight's harvest was only here. So the two hurried back to the concierge, taking extra care along the way, lest they leak their whereabouts......

……

Han Wei didn't know that across the wall was the great enemy Zhao Zheng, the person he was planning to put to death.

The trip to Jinling did not go well, Li Chongjin had already rebelled, but the Tang State sent troops to rescue him was still far away. Tang Lord Li Jing's cowardice and fear made him at a loss, so he had to go off the rails with his sword and pin all his hopes on Li Jingda.

But the result is still unsatisfactory, although Li Jingda is very tough on the Song Dynasty, but in his bones he is the same as his brother Li Jing, and he is a little indecisive.

has thoughts about the throne, but cares about brotherhood, and doesn't dare to gamble. Knowing that according to such a rhythm, the fall of the Southern Tang Dynasty was inevitable, and he wanted to turn the tide, but he didn't dare to take that crucial step directly. just blindly tried to force Li Jing, but every time he failed.

Why are the descendants of the Li family so virtuous? Do you have to see the coffin and not cry? This made Han Wei very distressed, but his purpose was only to let the Tang State send troops, and it didn't matter who would do it in the end. The key is that Li Jingda has made no progress here, which makes him very anxious.

Is it really providence? Why is it so unfortunate every time? Can Zhao Zheng successfully avoid a catastrophe? Han Wei's heart was very uncomfortable. In this era of paying attention to the induction of heaven and man, the psychological pressure caused by such a situation is definitely not small, and sometimes it even makes people suspicious and even shakes their beliefs.

However, as soon as he remembered the tragic death of his family, Han Wei would once again strengthen his belief that he would not overturn Zhao Song in this life, and swore not to kill Zhao Kuangyin and Zhao Zheng that he would not be a human being, which has become the motivation for him to live and the whole meaning of life.

Keeping Li Chongjin and constantly creating trouble and disasters for Zhao Song was the means, and it was imperative to prompt the Southern Tang Dynasty to send troops. It's still too late, and the troops will be dispatched before September, and the unfavorable war situation in Huainan will still have a turnaround.

Time is pressing, he is in a hurry, why is Li Jingda not in a hurry? missed this opportunity, and the countdown to the death of the Southern Tang Dynasty began!

This is a favorable condition for him, and Li Jingda's baby son is still young and eager for quick success, but he is much better than his hesitant father.

Li Congqing is already ready to move, what is the matter of Qixia Mountain, does Li Jingda have any other choice? It's a desperate gamble, and whether it can succeed or not depends on the will of God.

Han Wei secretly prayed, hoping that Li Jingda would have good luck...... Tang sent troops, plus Zhao Zheng's head is the most perfect.

……

In the concierge courtyard, Zhao Zheng sneezed, and at night, I don't know who was talking about himself like this.

The room was pitch black, but his eyes were open, and he didn't feel sleepy. There are so many things going on today that we have to take care of them.

After determining Li Jingda's true face, Zhao Zheng had even more worries in his heart. This person's status in the Southern Tang Dynasty is extraordinary, and his influence is also very great, what if he convinces Li Jing?

Zhao Zheng pondered for a moment and shook his head slightly, at this point, his worries were superfluous, and Li Jingda should have lost the opportunity to convince his brother. Otherwise, how could he let his son frame Li Congjia?

If he fails this time, what else will he do? "The Art of War" says that knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent will not be defeated in a hundred battles, and the most important thing now is to know Li Jingda's next move.

Publicize today's events in Qixia Mountain? Ruining his own and Li Congjia's reputation? It's possible, but the results are not painful.

Years of career as a lawyer have helped Zhao Zheng a lot, and speaking in court often goes around in a big circle, and the real purpose is ultimately the end. When formulating countermeasures, the first thing to consider is the true intention and core purpose of the other party.

So what is Lee King-tat's purpose? Sending troops to Huainan, this is a specific answer. How, can he achieve this?

Zhao Zheng analyzed several possibilities, either he could mobilize more ministers, persuade Li Jing, or even openly persecute him. Moreover, it made the relationship between the Song and Tang dynasties sharply antagonistic and irreconcilable...... Specifically, it is to let his side hurt the important interests or dignity of the Southern Tang Dynasty, such as hurting Li Congjia or violating Emperor Zhou E, or publicly killing the Song envoy and forcing the Song and Tang dynasties to make enemies!

Suddenly, Zhao Zheng found that he was so unsafe!

What about other than that? If Li Congqing's methods are successful today, can Li Congjia still move to the East Palace? If you want to kill two birds with one stone, aren't you interested in that dragon chair? Obviously, if Li Jingda is the emperor of the Tang Kingdom, he can naturally do whatever he wants, and sending troops is not a matter of words?

Will he take a risk? Zhao Zheng pondered for a long time and felt that it could not be treated as a question. At this critical juncture, you have to prepare for the worst.

Even if Li Jingda didn't have this mind, he had to help him, add some firewood in the back, and then let Li Jing put out the fire.

provoke civil unrest......

Zhao Zheng thought of the methods that have been used indiscriminately by countless people in all dynasties. As long as there is a rebellion and instability within the Southern Tang Dynasty, will they still have the energy to send troops to Huainan?

This can also weaken the strength of the Tang State and prepare for the pacification of Jiangnan in the future. More importantly, there are hidden dangers, people like Li Jingda are always in danger, and it is not good to say what will happen in the future. If he does not die, if he takes power one day, he will always be a threat to the Song State.

Now is an opportunity, simply borrow Li Jing's hand to completely bury him, and never suffer in the future. This can be regarded as a little compensation for Li Congjia, after all, he brought him a green hat......

Thinking of this, Zhao Zheng thought of Emperor Zhou E again, the incomparably beautiful appearance, the soft and moving body, and the beautiful smile......

After a long time, Zhao Zheng collected his mind, and the top priority was to deal with Li Jingda. Li Jing didn't have the slightest vigilance against this younger brother, which was the most annoying thing.

It seems that he must think of ways to direct Li Jing's attention to Li Jingda and force him to show his fox tail. There is also the small courtyard in Qinhuai River, which is not simple!

Thinking of this, a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in my mind, maybe this is the solution......
