Zhou Xingfeng's vision is very accurate. Not long after he died, Zhang Wenbiao sensed that the prophecy of his ancestors was reversed. Now that seniority is about seniority, it should be my turn to be the boss of Hunan. But Zhou Xingfeng is too little brother. He's just a temperance envoy. is dead, this son is naturally stronger and who is stronger. How can you be hereditary and pass on your own son? Zhang Wenbiao was very angry, and the consequences were serious. At this time, another soldier pushed him at the right time: "I had a dream yesterday. I dreamed that there was a dragon coming out of your collar" Zhang Wenbiao was overjoyed, and "the Mandate of Heaven also" sent troops to occupy Tanzhou and openly rebelled!

Zhang Wenbiao reversed, and Hunan shook. 11-year-old Zhou Baoquan summoned Yang Shifan with tears and relayed the last words of his ancestors to him, and Yang Shifan was also moved to tears: Look, our little boss has such a mind when he is a minor. Oh, yes! Sure enough, it's the son of a general. At the age of 11, he will be able to reason with facts and inspire people. After the little doll's speech and encouragement, all the troops worked hard. But after all, he was a child, and in the face of the enemy's menacing, he immediately made a wrong decision: to ask for help from the Song Dynasty.

The trick he left behind before his death was to take two steps, and Yang Shifan couldn't figure it out and then ask for help from the Song Dynasty. Zhou Baoquan was in a hurry, two steps and one step, and finally made a big mistake.

At the same time, Jingnan also reported the situation to the Song Dynasty. 2. The teeth and lips are attached to each other. Zhang Wenbiao caused chaos in Hunan, and of course the war is very likely to burn to Hubei. Jing Nan didn't want to be a fish in the pool, so he asked for the same thing.

Zhao Kuangyin has long been eyeing this piece of fat. What is Jingnan? Its capital, Jiangling, is bordered by the Yangtze River in the south, Hanshui in the north, Bashu in the west, and Jinling in the east. In ancient times, it was called the "thoroughfare of the seven provinces", when it was for Jingzhou, the two families of Sun and Liu tore their faces, the alliance was shattered, and they fought. 72 of the 120 episodes of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms were written in Jingzhou. It can be seen that this place is a battleground for soldiers. So why did the Gao family entrench in Jingnan for 50 years, and no one came to fight? Zhou Xingfeng didn't dare to take Jingzhou, didn't dare to push himself to the front of the front, and endured the fierce murderous aura of Chai Rong and Zhao Kuangyin. Meng Chang didn't want to take it, he didn't want his opponent to misunderstand that he had the ambition to take Jingzhou, and then go down the east of the river to win the world. Li Jing will not come either. He even cut off the strategic place and the grain production base Huainan, will he still want Jingnan? Those who fight for this place will have the will to unify the world! Of course, there is only one person at the moment: Zhao Kuangyin, the son of the Great Song Dynasty!

But Zhao Kuangyin has no excuse. The Gao family was very respectful to the Song Dynasty, and even reached the sincerity of "three tributes a year". People are such a soft-hearted and intoxicated smiling face, can you slap it hard? It just so happened that Hunan was a big help. The two help forms in Hunan and Jingnan were both in front of Zhao Kuangyin's case. It is estimated that he will wake up in the middle of the night. Ordered Lu Huaizhong to make Lu Huaizhong (Zhao Kuangyin really can't do without wine) to send an envoy to Jingnan "Jiangling people are back, mountains and rivers geography, I want to know as much as I want" (there are unspoken words below: I want to take it all) Lu Huaizhong came back and reported, "Gao Jichong soldiers are only 30,000. Although the valley of the year has climbed, the people are trapped in the tyranny. The trend of destruction has been revealed" Zhao Kuangyin was overjoyed, summoned the prime minister Fan Qian, and said a plan "Jiangling is divided, and this is a fake teacher, so it is down." Disdainful"

This plan is to "destroy Yu with false ways", and the Spring and Autumn Jin Dynasty wants to annex the two small countries of Yu and Yu. In order to protect themselves, the two countries formed an alliance. If one of them is struck, the other will come to the rescue. The doctor of the Jin Kingdom, Xun Xi, offered a plan, "False Dao and False Sword." borrowed the road from the Yu State to attack the Yu State. Of course, Yu Guo will not easily borrow the way to the Jin State to fight his allies. We gave generous gifts, and promised to just borrow the way, and never infringe on each other" Yu Gongguo was moved by the small profits in front of him and agreed to borrow the way. As a result, the Jin State took advantage of the passage to destroy the Yu State, and on the way back to the division, the Yu State was taken together.

Now in the name of rescue, he borrowed the road from Jingnan to Hunan. And the Gao family has long surrendered, isn't it justified that the Central Army borrowed the road of the place to quell the rebellion in another place?

On the 7th day of the first month of the 4th year of Jianlong (963), Murong Yanzhao was the commander-in-chief, and Li Chuyun was the supervisor of the army, and sent troops to attack Zhang Wenbiao! This is the first time since the founding of the Great Song Dynasty that he went abroad to conquer the world. Zhao Kuangyin has sent the strongest, even stronger military figures than himself. Gather troops from 10 states in order to defeat the enemy in one fell swoop and demonstrate in all directions. But no one expected that in this attack that was overwhelming and overwhelming, it was not Murong Yanzhao, who had been famous for a long time, but Li Chuyun, who was born in the staff and seemed to be a weak literati. History has proven that he is no less than even the most brutal and vicious enemy of mankind in human history...

Xiang Zhuang dances the sword, which is intended for Pei Gong. As soon as Li Chuyun's army goes, how can he be in Zhang Wenbiao?

In early February, Li Chuyun came to Xiangzhou. He sent the envoy Ding Deyu to see Gao Jichong, and the requirements were not high: when he arrived in Jiangling, let the army rest and recuperate, and give the army some grain and grass. Of course, such an old trick can't fool people. But the problem is that Gao Jichong didn't have the courage to refuse Zhao Kuangyin. So I took a compromise plan: you can borrow the road, but please don't go into the city. A hundred miles outside the city, we held a banquet for the army. The reason is very close to the people: the army suddenly entered the city for fear of causing fear among the inhabitants of the city. Li readily agreed. Just borrow it. A hundred miles away, the cavalry arrived overnight. As long as I enter the Gangneung realm, things will be easy to do.

However, there were disagreements within Jingnan about the entry of the Song Dynasty army. Li Jingwei, the deputy envoy of the soldiers and horses, said, "Although the current Wang Division is pretending to collect Hunan, but looking at this momentum, it is coming to Jingnan. It is better for me to lead 3,000 troops, set up an ambush in the steep place of Jingmen Middle Road, attack his general, and the king will retreat. Then he returned to his teacher to receive a document table to present to the imperial court. then you can make up for your mistakes and protect yourself, otherwise you will have the disaster of wagging your tail and begging for food" Alas, although Li Jingwei's words are heroic, they are not enough. With the power of Jingnan several states, how can there be a chance of winning against the hundred states of the Song Dynasty? Zhao Kuangyin doesn't take it, as long as he moves his heart, Jing Nan doesn't have to be honest. If you take the initiative to attack, you are afraid that you will give the army the truth, then it will not be a camp a hundred miles away, but you are afraid that you will go straight to Jiangling. Jingnan has long known this, and has occupied Jiangling for 50 years, and it is time to hand over this place. Judge Sun Guangxian sighed secretly: "Can Li Jingwei's plan succeed?" And since Zhou Shizong, he has the ambition to mix the world. In the Song Dynasty, it was even more large-scale. At present, Zhang Wenbiao is cut down, like Mount Tai pressing eggs, after pacifying Huxiang, he naturally wants to take us Jingnan. It's better to seal the inventory early, count the number of people, prepare the map, and ask the Song Dynasty to come and accept. In this way, the common people of Jingchu can avoid military disasters, and the lord can also continue to enjoy wealth and nobility" Gao Jichong felt that this was reasonable, so after all, there was still a way back. He didn't want to rush any further, so he nodded yes.

And the next thing surprised Jing Nan inexplicably. Li Jingwei saw that his plan was useless, and after retreating, he sighed and said Big deal, what am I still alive for. After saying that, he strangled himself to death. The historical record "strangled to death" General Li, why bother? The world has been in turmoil for a hundred years, and people are determined and the land is home. Your lord Gao's family has long been a minister of the Song Dynasty, and it is only a matter of time before he submits to him. The relationship between Jingnan and the Song Dynasty is just a domestic affair, why should you abandon a big country for a small family? So once you die, although you are also considered a loyal martyr, you are still inferior to Wu Zixu, let alone Qu Yuan.

Li Jingwei's death did not move Gao Jichong, and the army of the Song Dynasty had already entered the territory of Jingnan.

Gao Jichong's uncle Gao Baoyin and the general Liang Yansi came to the hundred miles of labor outside Jiangling City with wine and meat. On 9 February, the leaders of the central authorities met with the local cadres, and the atmosphere was very harmonious. Liang Yansi hurriedly called someone back to report to Gao Jichong: The comrades of the Central Committee are very reasonable, and they are really just borrowing the road, and the boss is relaxed.

In the evening, Murong Yanzhao, the commander of the army, came forward, and the two sides organized a reception, but Li Chuyun, the lord of the army, did not attend. However, Gao Baoyin and Liang Yansi were already drunk and dizzy, and they probably didn't notice it. But even if they find out, they are embarrassed to ask the central leaders about their private affairs.

In fact, Li Chuyun was leading thousands of people straight to Jiangling City at this time. All he had to do at this time was to suddenly appear in front of Gao Jichong and all the people of Jingnan and let them understand that there was no second way to go except for complete surrender. But Li Chuyun probably never dreamed that 15 miles outside Jiangling City, 21-year-old Gao Jichong was already waiting for him on the avenue with people from the Jingnan Small Imperial Court. What's going on? Why would Gao Jichong give up the capital Jiangling and run to 15 miles away to "greet" him? Is there an ambush? But how many soldiers can there be in the 3 states of Jingnan?

In fact, Li Chuyun is thinking too much. Gao Jichong's idea is very simple: I have never resisted, I have always been a good courtier of the Great Song Dynasty... Dear Emperor, are you embarrassed to rob me of anything anymore?

Excuse me? Zhao Kuangyin didn't know if he didn't know the way. But Li Chuyun absolutely not. He immediately gave Gao Jichong an order "stay put, wait for Yanzhao" So, General Jingnan was drinking, and Boss Jingnan was drinking halfway. Gangneung is an empty city. Li Chuyun easily entered the city. When Gao Jichong and Murong Yanzhao returned to Jiangling, the Song army had already divided the Chong Fortress and lined up the streets and alleys.

Jingnan 3 prefectures, a total of 142,300 households in 17 counties were successfully classified into the territory of the Great Song Dynasty overnight, with Li Bai's famous sentence is "a thousand miles of Jiangling in one day" on the 17th, the good news was sent to Kaifeng. Zhao Kuangyin still ordered Gao Jichong to be the envoy of Jingnan Jiedu, but the real power had fallen into the hands of a central official named Wang Renzhan from Kaifeng. Emperor Taizu sent three words to the martyr Li Jingwei: "Loyal ministers also", and ordered Wang Renzhan to show mercy to his family.

But how could the people of the Song Dynasty not follow the rules? It is said that "false ways to destroy the world" is not like this. It is necessary to destroy the main enemy, the Kingdom of Yu, first, and then return to destroy the Kingdom of Yu on the way. But how could the Song people reverse the order without authorization and start with the well-intentioned borrowers first? After all, that's not how the ball is kicked... So came a piece of news that disappointed all the Song Dynasty

At the end of January, the chaos in Hunan had been put down by Yang Shifan. Zhang Wenbiao was executed by Ling Chi, and his meat was cooked and eaten. I have to admire Zhou Xingfeng's cleverness. Before he died, he calculated the aftermath so clearly. It's a pity that the 11-year-old Gao Baoquan is still inexperienced and didn't act according to the plan. In order to expel the wolf Zhang Wenbiao, the tiger Zhao Kuangyin was brought in. This tiger is, of course, the real terrible enemy of Hunan.

On February 10, the day after Jingnan was recovered, Li Chuyun sent troops to Langzhou regardless of any excuse. Li Guanxiang said to Zhou Baoquan, "Now Zhang Wenbiao is dead, and Wang Shi is not returning." It must be to take all the Jing Lake. The Gao clan of Jingnan has been restrained and obeyed, and my Langzhou is not unique. It is better to learn from Gao Jichong and return to the imperial court to keep the wealth and dignity", but the person called Zhang Chongfu did not listen. Tear down bridges, sink ships, cut down trees and block roads, and refuse to defend them. It is necessary to fight a protracted war with the Song army.

Murong Yanzhao didn't dare to attack, but he couldn't figure out Zhao Kuangyin's thoughts. The emperor only confessed to take back Jingnan and pacify Hunan. But what now?

A few days later, the emperor's instructions came down, and he said to Zhou Baoquan, "Originally, you wanted to ask the division to rescue, so I sent a large army to help." Now why do you reject Wang Shi and take your own misery?" Zhou Baoquan finally knew what it means to invite God, it is easy to send God. Murong Yanzhao led the naval army to break the Hunan army at the mouth of the Sanjiang River and capture Yuezhou.

In early March, Li Chuyun led the army to meet Zhang Chongfu in Lizhou. Zhang fled without a fight, leaving Li with a large number of prisoners at Ao Shan Village. As a result, a tragic scene was staged in the battle of Jinghu in pacification.

Li Chuyun selected dozens of obese people among the captives, threw them into a cauldron, cooked and stewed them, and ordered the soldiers to share them in front of the other captives. There are just more than ten words in the history books, but what kind of tragedy is it? No wonder some people say that Chinese history books are a history of blood and tears. The importance of weight loss seems to have been and still is. If you are as fat as the author, it seems that you should also lose weight.

Li Chuyun also ordered dozens of young strong captives to be engraved on their faces and released to Langzhou. These lucky people fled to Langzhou, and immediately became dozens of loudspeakers, but in half a day, the news that the Song Dynasty army would eat people had spread throughout the city. Who is not afraid of this kind of wolf and tiger division? Langzhou City began to be in turmoil, and the people set fire to the city one after another, rushing to the valley.

On the 10th, Murong Yanzhao's army entered Langzhou. Capture Zhang Chongfu and take the head of the owl. Twelve-year-old Zhou Baoquan was hidden in a monk's house by the general Wang Duan. Li Chuyun sent Tian Shouqi to chase him. Wang Duan fled, and Tian Shouqi was returned by Zhou Baoquan.

There were 14 prefectures and 1 prison in Hunan, with a total of 97,288 households in 66 counties, which were incorporated into the jurisdiction of the Song Dynasty. On the 18th, Lu Yuqing came to Tanzhou; On April 25, Xue Juzheng came to Langzhou and took up the post of Hunan magistrate.

In just 2 months, the entire Jinghu land was in Zhao Kuangyin's pocket, but he couldn't be happy. This is a five-generation victory, not a victory he wants. He was reflecting on how the cannibalism incident of Li Chuyun happened. Before and after the reflection, he made a series of reforms.

On February 14, 962, before the war began, Zhao Kuangyin said to his close ministers that "I want to order the military generals to study and know the way to govern" In January 963, when the war was in progress, he began to appoint some civil servants as governors. On April 4, after the end of the war, a post of general judge was established in each state as a deputy to the governors, with civil servants as the deputy. The general judge has the right to administer all military and civilian affairs in the state, and can directly report the local situation to the emperor beyond the prefecture. At the same time, the jurisdiction of the sub-counties of the envoys of the Tianxia Jiedu (the sub-counties are within the jurisdiction of the Jiedu envoys, but not the other states where the Jiedu envoys are stationed) From then on, the Tianxia Jiedu envoys were left with only the rights within their respective states, and all other sub-prefectures were directly managed by the central government.
