Li Yun, a native of Bingzhou, was good at riding and shooting, and Li Congrong, the son of Mingzong of the Later Tang Dynasty, joined the army when he was the king of Qin. When the Liao soldiers returned north after destroying Shi Jin, Li Yun and others were left in Changshan by the generals of Yelu Jieli to wait for their fall. The Later Han Dynasty was established, and Li Yun also took the opportunity to rebel and drove Yelu Jieli out of Changzhou, which saved many people, and Feng Laoxian was one of them. Feng Dao is in charge, and Li Yun is left behind in Changzhou. After that, Liu Zhiyuan only gave him a history of Bozhou Thorn. waited for Guo Wei to come to power, and then promoted Li Yun to the envoy of the Zhaoyi Army to guard Luzhou. It turns out that Guo Wei is Li Yun's Bole, and he has the grace of promotion and reengineering.

In April, an envoy sent by Zhao Kuangyin to Luzhou conveyed a holy decree to Li Yun to add the official Zhongshu Ling (Zhongshu Ling is the highest governor of Zhongshu Province and the position of prime minister. Why is it so worthless? The dead and the alive can be sealed with the Zhongshu Order) thought that with these rewards, Li Yun could be bought.

Li Yun was about to go crazy on the spot, he was pulled left and right, and reluctantly knelt to accept Zhao Kuangyin's holy decree.

But in the evening, when a banquet was held to entertain the envoys, Li Yun was eating and drinking, and suddenly took out a portrait, hung it on the wall, and cried at the portrait, which was even more sad and sad than his father's death.

This cry, no one on both sides was shocked, because that portrait was Guo Wei, the founding emperor of the Later Zhou Dynasty!

Left and right hurriedly explained: General Li drank too much, please don't be surprised by the envoy. Of course, the messenger will not be surprised, but this ear goes in and out of that mouth. As soon as he went back, he told Zhao Kuangyin everything he had seen and heard.

Zhao Kuangyin was surprised. I'm guarding against Li Chongjin, which way is this surnamed Li? What's your mother's surname?

Emperor Liu Chengjun of the Later Han Dynasty expected it. Secretary Shi: The lord of the Northern Han Dynasty knew that Yun had different ambitions, and lured Yun with wax books. Although Li Yun's eldest son Li Shoujie wept and admonished, Li Yun ate the scales and was determined to oppose the Song Dynasty.

But then Li Yun's actions made everyone incomprehensible. He actually handed over the wax book to Zhao Kuangyin. What is he trying to prove? It's a bit of a surprise, but it's something that needs to be dealt with once it's happened. Zhao Kuangyin awarded Li Shoujie as the envoy of the imperial city, and asked him to enter the court to thank him, in fact, he wanted to take him hostage. To be honest, Zhao Kuangyin didn't pay much attention to Li Yun's rebellion at the beginning, and the reason was always that person - Guo Wei's nephew, the former boss of the guards, the envoy of Yangzhou Jiedu, and Li Chongjin of Zhongshu Ling.

The biggest surprise came. Li Chongjin received the order and took the initiative to ask Zhao Kuangyin for instructions: Did he go to the capital to meet the new emperor as a festival envoy as a customary envoy and thank him in person?

Zhao Kuangyin was a little flattered. In return for the peach, Zhao Kuangyin also decided to give Li Chongjin a day of big face - replying to the decree "The head of the monarch, the ministers and the humerus." Although they are far apart, they are all one. The name of the monarch and the minister will remain unchanged for a long time. The ritual of Hajj, is it not for a while" So, at least on the surface, the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, who had just successfully usurped the throne, and the strongest feudal town of the Later Zhou Dynasty maintained the initial peace and quiet.

So Li Shoujie entered Beijing alone, and Zhao Kuangyin was in a good mood to greet him personally, and the first sentence almost made Li Shoujie faint, "Prince, why did you come"

The word 'prince' not only made Li Shoujie afraid, but also made the ministers around him puzzled: Why did he try his best to appease Li Yun before, but now he pointed out that Li Yun was going to rebel? Isn't that a paradox? In fact, there is no contradiction at all. It's just that the inside story can't be known to everyone. At this time, Zhao Kuangyin had also received a message that made him almost faint - Li Chongjin was reversed!

Li Chongjin weaved an incomparably beautiful illusion for Zhao Kuangyin on the surface, and kept recruiting troops and contacting the same party behind his back. The preferred comrade is, of course, Li Yun. It's a pity that Li Chongjin made a mistake, so that he was doomed to defeat before he could rise up to rebel.

From Yangzhou, the southernmost point of the Great Song Empire, to Luzhou, the northernmost point, almost crossed the entire territory of the Great Song Dynasty at that time. Li Chongjin, Li Chongjin, why can't you choose someone who is even a little more reliable?

The person elected by Li Chongjin is called Zhai Shouxun, this person did not hesitate at all, and directly entered Kaifeng City with a secret letter, and through Li Chuyun, he threw himself into the arms of the new Great Song Emperor.

Zhao: "I want to give the re-entry Danshu iron coupon, he believes in me" The first thing I thought of was to appease and dispel Li Chongjin's idea of rebellion. But Zhai Shouxun also has a small abacus in his heart, so what am I? Isn't it that the two sides are not human beings, and "they have no heart to return to the end"

All right. Zhao Kuangyin, who understood thoroughly, rewarded Zhai Shouxun and promised him an official title, and gave him a special task: return to Yangzhou, do not persuade Li Chongjin not to rebel, but to persuade him to be cautious and cautious.

After sending Zhai Shouxun away, Song Taizu fell into deep thought: Li Yun and Li Chongjin, no matter which one of them is the representative of the Later Zhou Domain, will become the vane of the entire domestic people's disobedience. Instead of raising tigers, it is better to eradicate them as soon as possible! However, it is very difficult to operation, and it is not possible to unite them, and it is not possible to send troops by themselves...... It is necessary to let the people of the world know that Song Taizu is as broad-minded as the sea and can accommodate all things. It has always been man who bears him, and he never loses him.

Then the only way is for Li Yun to have to rebel, and immediately rebel! As for Lee Chongjin... I hope Zhai Shouxun's level of lying and dragging his feet is first-class enough.

So there was the sentence "Prince, why did you come" poor Li Shoujie was so frightened that his soul flew away, "Why did Your Majesty say this? Someone must be saying bad things about my father and son," Zhao Kuangyin smiled, "I heard your advice, but your father didn't listen, so he sent you here and wanted me to kill you." Thou shalt return to thy father: When I am not the Son of Heaven, let thou do it myself. Since I am the Son of Heaven, you can't let Wu Ye "waved his hand and let Li Shoujie go, bringing these very "gentle and intimate" words to his father.

On April 14 of the first year of Jianlong (960), the former Zhou Zhaoyi Festival made Li Yun officially rebel! At this time, more than 100 days had passed since Zhao Kuangyin founded the Song Dynasty. Yell at the world: I, Li Yun, have reversed! Generals of the Zhou Dynasty, what are you doing?

Jianxiong Jiedu made Yang Tingzhang seem to have some changes in Jinju, and his sister is Concubine Chai Rong. Li Yun and Zhao Kuangyin both stared at him at the same time. Li Yun sent him a letter of invitation: to raise the great cause together and compete in the Central Plains. Zhao Kuangyin sent him a deputy official, and the Zhengzhou defense envoy Jing Hanru went to target Yang Tingzhang. But Yang didn't mean to stand up for his brother-in-law at all. Jing Hanru was a little disappointed, so he had to report to Zhao Kuangyin. Zhao Lingyang went to Beijing to report on his work. Yang was very calm, and after receiving the order, he rode out of Jinju.

One man rode into Shaanzhou alone. Zhao Kuangyin's political enemy, Yuan Yan, the former commander of the infantry of the guard army, and the envoy of the Baoyi Festival, is now the emperor of Shaanzhou. History said that this person was fierce and profit-seeking, and he was a soldier in armor, and he had already had the intention of rebellion. At the critical moment, Pan Mei stepped forward again. The first brave general of the Northern Song Dynasty did not know what means he used, but he actually brought Yuan Yan back to Kaifeng in person and expressed his submission to the new emperor in public. Zhao Kuangyin was overjoyed, "Pan Mei doesn't kill Yuan Yan, and becomes my ambition"

One person single-handedly calmed down a restless military state, and Pan Meizhen, who completed a dangerous mission for the second time, was a model in the supervising army.

But the following town and state supervisors have done a poor job. His name is Chen Siyu, and he gave Zhao Kuangyin a secret fold: Chengde Festival made Guo Chongwei often cry by calling the name of Taizu of the previous dynasty, and he may have an antipathy. And Zhenzhou borders the Khitan, in case something happens, it may take refuge in the Khitan. Preparations should be made in advance, just in case. Zhao Kuangyin said, "I know that Guo Chongwei is a person who knows how to repay his kindness", but Zhao Kuangyin still showed a cautious eye: send an envoy to investigate. This is in line with the common sense that the heart of defense is indispensable. Besides, as soon as Li Yun cries, you get nervous. As soon as Guo Chongwei cries, you think it's reasonable. Could it be that he looks down on our Guo Dashuai's tears? It is estimated that he didn't want to, and he didn't dare to move Guo Chongwei. At present, we are going all out to deal with Li Yun, and of course the others must be appeased. You can't afford to be overwhelmed.

When the envoy arrived in Zhenzhou, Guo Chongwei realized that it was also sinful for a person to shed tears. His subordinate Xin Zhongfu persuaded: "Mutiny, we were the first to express our sincerity." There are no irregularities in the dispatch of our troops. Although the court wanted to add to the crime, it had no words. As soon as the messenger arrives, let's entertain them well, and send them as soon as they deserve. When the messenger eats us, takes us, and will help us speak," and when the messenger arrived, he was comfortably entertained. Naturally, I went back to report that "there is nothing to do in Zhenzhou", and Shang Xi said, "I know that Chong is not opposed", Zhao Daguan, you are too fake, you know it, why did you send a messenger? You're afraid of stealing joy or something, right?

Someone reported that the Protector Army of Hezhong Province made Yang Chengxin rebel. It happened that Yang had a birthday, and Zhao Kuangyin asked Wei Pi to give a birthday gift. This is to buy people's hearts, and the other is to take the opportunity to probe. Soon, Wei Pi himself also had a lot of gifts and reported to the emperor: Yang Chengxin was fine.

Zhao Kuangyin is not a saint. He once borrowed wine to ask Wang Yanchao, "When I went to you that day, why didn't you take me in" Wang Shishu was really good at the world, "I am a shoal, how can I keep the real dragon" Zhao Kuangyin was relieved, and all the unhappiness was swept away. He forgave Wang Yanchao, and even repaid Dong Zunzhi for making things difficult for him back then. Not only did he not trouble Dong Zunzhi, but he found Dong Zunzhi's mother who was lost in Liao.

Zhao Kuangyin's strength is really at the emperor level. He has a bigger belly than the prime minister. Not only can it support a boat, but it can also put the whole world in.

It seems that these people are all unplanted, and they are all easily settled by Zhao Kuangyin. Cease! Ben didn't count on you either.

Zhang Yongde, the envoy of the Zhongwu Festival, was drinking with Zhao Kuangyin in the capital. You have a cup and I have a cup. You are attached to the horse, and I am the emperor. The monarch and the minister are very harmonious. The emperor suddenly asked, "Master Attached to the horse, didn't you have a very beautiful rhinoceros belt before?" Why is there no "Zhang" today, alas! In the past, when Huainan was levied, 200,000 yuan of public money was used, and there was no money to repay. I had to use it to mortgage "Zhao", so the public funds have been repaid, "Zhang is ashamed", and there is still a gap of 50,000 yuan. I'm sure I've made it up, and I'll go up, "Zhao waved his hand, "Why bother with Ma Ye." Although the world is mine, I can't let you be poor" The next day, Zhang Yongde wrote off the debt, and gave an additional 200,000 yuan. Get! With such a large amount of money thrown down, Zhang Yongde may be dizzy and delirious, and it is impossible to count on him.

Li Yun approached the water and found the Northern Han Dynasty. In his mind, the Northern Han Dynasty is closer to Luzhou and can be used as a large rear. And the power of the Northern Han Dynasty is always stronger than those festival envoys, right?

Li Yun kidnapped Zhou Guangxun, the prison soldier sent by Zhao Kuangyin to him, to prove to Liu Chengjun that he had been blinded by lard in the transfer incident that day, and now he was ruined and would never turn back. Then he sent troops to seize Zezhou in the south, killed the assassin Zhang Fu, and fired the first shot to challenge Song Taizu!

The strategist Luqiu Zhongqing planned for him: the public lone army moved things, although relying on the help of Hedong. But the elite of the Bianliang forbidden army is difficult to compete with. Now, the public can go west to Taihang Mountain and occupy the two states of Huai and Meng. Block the Tiger Prison Pass, guard Luoyang, and fight for the world in the east. This is indeed the best policy. Luoyang should also be Li Yun's best choice at this time. Capturing Luoyang can seize Yongfeng, Huiluo, Luokou, Heyang and other large granaries since the Sui and Tang dynasties, control the grain producing areas of the Great Song Dynasty in one fell swoop, and cut off the transportation of Bianliang. In this way, no matter how brave and fierce the forbidden army is, if there is no food, it can only become a sick cat. In addition to this material reason, there is also a more important spiritual reason: there are two very important figures in Luoyang City: Chai Zongxun and Empress Dowager Fu. As long as these two people are invited, they can justifiably raise the banner of opposing Song Fuzhou, and the response of the world will follow.

But Li Yun thinks that the appeal of the two orphans and widows will never be as strong as his own, and he is full of confidence: "I am a general of the Zhou Dynasty, and I am the same brother as Shi Zongyi." The forbidden army is all my old people, and they will turn back to return" and said, "I have Dan Jue guns, sweat horses, why worry about the world" Dan Jue is Li Yun's favorite general, good at spears, and has the courage of ten thousand people. The sweat horse is Li Yun's mount, the thousand-mile horse. This reminds me of Lu Bu on the White Gate Tower, "I have a Fang Tian Halberd, a red rabbit horse, who dares to approach me in the world" to bless Li Yun, I hope he also has the courage of the Three Kingdoms Lu Wenhou crown the world, otherwise his sweating horse may have only one purpose, hehe...
