Since then, a lot of important information has been obtained from this, and this situation has continued until the founding of the Great Song Dynasty.

At the same time, the hot pot of Yuxianglou is still loved by everyone, whether it is the princes and nobles, or the common people.

After Chai Rong heard about this again, he also came here to eat hot pot on a private visit, and he was also full of praise.

Although there was no beer in this era, the alcohol content of liquor was still not high, and it was about the same as beer.

Although this place can not only collect money for Zhao Xu, but Zhao Xu uses this place more to collect news.

In addition, he also sold a large amount of spirits to the Khitan, and most of the liquor in this era was not high, and it didn't feel good to drink.

For the Khitan in the bitter cold land, spirits are their favorite, so Zhao Xu distilled spirits and specially supplied them to the Khitan.

Of course, not only the Khitan, the Northern Han and several other countries also sold his spirits.

Moreover, the price of this spirit is several times that of ordinary wine, or even dozens of times, but it is still in short supply.

This gave Zhao Xu the rapid accumulation of a large amount of wealth and provided a lot of financial support for future plans.

Zhao Xu didn't know that at this time, Chai Rong was discussing with several important ministers about sending troops to the Tang Kingdom in Jiangnan.

During the period when Zhao Xu was injured and recuperating at home, Chai Rong also came and told him to recuperate well.

Chai Rong was very angry with Tang Guo, and actually dared to pull the hind legs of Da Zhou when Da Zhou took back the four states of Qin and Feng.

actually colluded with the Khitan in the north around the waterway, which made Chai Rong very angry, in fact, the Tang State did not do this, and Chai Rong also had to find an excuse to attack the Tang State in the south of the Yangtze River.

Previously, according to Wang Pu's "Pingbian Policy", he first set foot in the south, and later because the people of Qinzhou's hometown petitioned to recover the lost land, Chai Rong temporarily attacked Houshu.

Recently, Zhao Kuangyin retold Zhao Xu's benefits of taking the land of Huainan in the Southern Tang Dynasty, as a monarch who wants to dominate the world, how can he not be tempted?

At this time, the emperor of the Southern Tang Dynasty was Li Jing, the successor of Li Yu, the founding emperor of the Southern Tang Dynasty, but this Li Jing was inferior to his father.

Li Jing is kind and weak by nature, likes to write articles, and lyrics are a must, if she is a literati, she will be even better.

This Li Jing often drinks and has fun with ordinary literati, and lives a carefree and carefree life.

In addition to liking poetry, he also likes others to say flattering words, that is, he likes others to exclude him.

So he promoted a large group of people who could only speak good things, and the Southern Tang Dynasty became increasingly chaotic, and the country was declining.

Prior to this, the Southern Tang Dynasty had already destroyed the Min and Chu states, and the territory had greatly increased, and the strength had also greatly increased.

Therefore, Li Jing began to become more and more arrogant, and he was also high-spirited, and even had the idea of annexing the world.

For this reason, when Hou Shu asked them for assistance in attacking the Great Zhou, Li Jing agreed without thinking about it.

Li Jing sent envoys by sea to bypass the Later Zhou to Liao and the Northern Han Dynasty, and discussed with them about the joint attack on the Later Zhou.

When Li Shouzhen and Murong Yanchao rebelled, the Southern Tang Dynasty sent troops and supported them at the same time.

At that time, there were a lot of things in Hou Zhou, so they didn't bother with Nan Tang for the time being, and now they have their hands free in Hou Zhou, and now Nan Tang has to pay off the debts they owe.

As soon as Chai Rong opened his mouth to attack the Southern Tang Dynasty, he immediately got the support of all the people, after all, when the Southern Tang Dynasty attacked Houshu in the Great Zhou, he actually dared to offend the Great Zhou, which was worth it.

The crowd in the court was excited, and no one objected, even the prime minister Li Gu, who had opposed the Western Expedition before, was also strongly in favor.

So there was no doubt, and the army began to send to the Southern Tang. On December 17 of the second year of Xiande, Chai Rong ordered an attack on the Southern Tang Dynasty.

Chai Rong appointed Prime Minister Li Gu as the former army camp of Huainan to be deployed and commanded the relevant matters of the army at this time.

At the same time, he was appointed as the governor of Luzhou and Shouzhou, although these are still the lands of the Southern Tang Dynasty, but Chai Rong was confident that he would be able to take it, so he appointed the governor in advance.

At the same time, he also appointed Wang Yanchao, the envoy of Zhongwu Jiedu, as Li Gu's deputy general, and assisted Li Gu in arranging his troops.

In addition, he also sent twelve generals including Han Lingkun to lead the southern expedition of the forbidden army.

Chai Rong's smartest place, while he was mainly attacking the Southern Tang Dynasty, he issued an edict to let Wu Yueguo send troops to help.

Wu Yue, who was outnumbered, had no choice but to send troops to jointly crusade against the Southern Tang Dynasty.

Of course, so far, Zhao Kuangyin and Zhao Xu's father and son have not been appointed by Chai Rong to go on the expedition, Zhao Xu is injured, Zhao Kuangyin is in command, how can he leave reads easily;.

Zhao Xu was not worried about this, he believed that Zhou Shizong Chai Rong would definitely reuse their father and son, and when the war was not going well, it was the time to show that they had talent.

In the Southern Tang Dynasty, there is still a song and dance, or an undercurrent surging, and it is still fighting for the position of the prince.

When Li Jing ascended the throne, he didn't want to be the emperor and gave way to his younger brother Li Jingsui.

But Li Jingsui is also unwilling to live or die, in fact, he is also pretending, he wants to wait for his own humility once, but he didn't expect that Li Jing was no longer giving in, and he sat on the throne.

Later, after Li Jing ascended the throne, he said that his brother and brother were the last photos of the former emperor Li Sheng, so he issued an edict to crown Li Jing as the emperor's younger brother.

The imperial brother, a kind of prince, referred to as the imperial brother, is the younger brother who is selected to inherit the throne and is the successor in the future.

Usually, the place where the prince lives is also called the East Palace, but the officials of the East Palace will change their names accordingly, for example, the prince and the prince will be renamed the prince and the prince will be renamed the prince and the horse.

It is said that the emperor did not appoint a prince but a younger brother, originally because he had no children or his son was still young, partly because the emperor had the intention of passing on his younger brother from the beginning.

This is also for the stability of his own country, anyway, his family is the emperor, and there are no outsiders.

But in history, there are very few people who can inherit the throne, or no, and those who were canonized as crown princes at the beginning did not end very well.

As the emperor has a son, or his own son gradually grows up, the competition for the throne becomes more intense.

Moreover, Li Jing's son and Li Jing's younger brother are not a few years apart at all, which makes Li Jing's eldest son Li Hongji very unconvinced.

Li Hongji is a calm and quiet person, but he has extraordinary military talents, and his prestige in the army is very high, and the army is very convinced of Li Hongji.

In the battle to destroy the Chu State, Li Hongji was even more indispensable, because he was named the King of Yan because of his merits.

In the court of the Southern Tang Dynasty, the ministers were reporting the latest news to their emperor Li Jing, and it was the emperor's younger brother Li Jingsui who spoke first.

"Your Majesty, the Zhou army is leading my army to invade my Jiangbei;."

Li Jing frowned when he heard this:

"Zhou Imperial Court? We and Da Zhou have always been well water and do not invade river water, why did they invade my Jiangbei? ”

Li Jingsui played again:

"Yes, and Wu Yue's Qian Yu also invaded my border."

"Why is there a war between the north and the south all of a sudden, and he Qian Yu has such courage?" Li Jing actually asked these questions at this time, the key is how to deal with it.

At this time, his eldest son, Li Hongji, who was named the king of Yan, expressed his opinion:

"Father, I think this is the Zhou court's flanking policy, which is intended to divert the attention of our army." In fact, this Li Hongji still has a certain vision.

All of a sudden, he hit the nail on the head, and now everyone in the court also came back to their senses, and King Yan was still powerful.

Li Jing also nodded.

"Father, the sons of the ministers please order to lead the troops to Jiangbei to resist the Zhou army, and the sons will definitely be able to stop the Great Zhou and triumph."

Li Hongji saw that his father also agreed, and his opinion immediately invited troops to go to the army to make meritorious contributions.

But Li Jing will also worry about his son, although he is brave, he is not familiar with the situation in Jiangbei:

"You're not familiar with Jiangbei, just in case you ......." Li Jing's sons all died early, and now there are only six sons and seven sons left, so he still cares about his sons.

"Your Majesty, since King Yan wants to make meritorious contributions to the imperial court, let King Yan lead his troops to defend Wu Yue, and Wu Yue's army is easy to deal with."

Nantang is also almost finished, and he is still fighting at this time.

Sure enough, when Li Hongji heard Li Jingsui's words, he was furious;

"Uncle Huang, you said that Wu Yuejun is easy to deal with, do you look down on me?"

"King Yan, you have too much heart, I'm just ......" Li Jingsui didn't dare to show weakness.

"The younger brother suggested sending Yao Feng and Huang Fuhui to lead the troops to Jiangbei."

"Father, Emperor, and Minister......"

"Enough, what do you think, Sun Sheng?" Li Jing stopped the quarrel between his younger brother and son, and turned his face to ask his minister.

Sun Sheng, whose original name was Sun Feng, also known as Ji, is a native of Mizhou. is Li Jing's favorite minister.

Sun Sheng was diligent and studious when he was young, and he was even better at composing poetry, and his writing was very good, but he had a slight stutter.

He was a Taoist priest when he was young, and in 928 A.D., he went to Wu, and waited until Li Sheng established the Tang Kingdom.

Li Sheng appointed him as Tongping Zhangshi, that is, the prime minister. Li Sheng's son Li Jing still appointed him as prime minister after he ascended the throne.

At this time, when he heard Li Jing ask him, he immediately knelt down and said:

"Your Majesty, the minister agrees with the suggestion of the emperor's younger brother and sends Yao Feng and Huang Fuhui to Jiangbei, and the king of Yan leads his troops to resist Wu Yue's army."

In fact, this Sun Sheng is a person from Li Hongji's faction, and he said this with his own intentions, precisely to let Li Hongji make meritorious contributions and not let him take risks.

Another prime minister, Feng Yansi, also nodded yes.

So Li Jing ordered:

"Huang Fuhui and Yao Feng are the commanders of Jiangbei, Feng Yanlu and He Yanxi are the capital supervisors, and Hongji leads the troops to break Wu Yue, so be it."

Li Jing's decree is only an approximate meaning, and many people's original positions still need specific arrangements.

Specifically, Li Jing appointed Liu Yanzhen, the commander of the Shenwu Army, as the capital of the northern camp, and led an army of 20,000 to Shouzhou to garrison;

At the same time, the envoy of Fenghua Jiedu and the emperor of Tongping Zhangshi were appointed as the support envoys, and Yao Feng, the envoy of the Changzhou regiment, served as the reinforcement supervisor, and the two led 30,000 troops to Dingyuan.

In addition, Li Jing recalled Song Qiqiu, the envoy of Zhennan Jiedu, and discussed with him the command of the army;

He also appointed Hanlin Chengzhi and Yin Chongyi, the secretary of the household department, as the secretary of the ministry and the management of the Privy Council.

The Great War is on the verge of breaking out.
