Pan Mei defeated Du Zhen, and the army did not stop, just like thunder, Xinlinzhai, Bailuzhou, and Xinlingang in the southwest of Jinling City were quickly taken.

In fact, at this time, if Song Jiu's military ability is a little stronger, and he remembers more historical knowledge, he can see a serious crisis, that is, the cooperation between the two styles, which has caused a serious derailment.

Pan Mei uses soldiers like a tiger going down the mountain, like a dragon going to sea, the speed is amazing, Cao Bin uses soldiers on the contrary, extremely steady, once he seeks stability, the speed will inevitably not be fast. Pan Mei's front army seemed to fly, Cao Bin dragged it out in the back, and it was not easy to say, even if Zhao Kuangyin's murderous edict in the envelope he gave him was true, he could only behead Pan Mei, but Pan Mei couldn't behead. It happened that the Southern Tang Dynasty attacked Chizhou, why Chizhou, the first thing the Song Dynasty occupied was Chizhou, which was a little far away from the main battlefield, but the river came and went, Chizhou was upstream, the Song Dynasty occupied Chizhou, and only left a section of the Nanjiang River from Chizhou to Hukou to the Southern Tang Dynasty, and the threat to the rear was not very big, at least the threat to the pontoon bridge was reduced. But let Nantang take it back, and the threat will increase.

Moreover, the defender of Chizhou is Fan Ruobing, a traitor of the Southern Tang Dynasty, and he must also kill Liwei. But was easily defeated by Fan Ruobing, this battle was not fought by Fan Ruobing, but by his generals and horses to detain Wang Yu, this person is the son of Wang Pu, a famous minister of the former Zhou Dynasty, it is rumored that Zhao Kuangyin passed by the meritorious pavilion after ascending the throne and saw the portrait of Wang Pu, stood still, sorted out the royal robe, and said, if this person is here, I can't wear this robe.

Because of this brilliant background, Wang Yu will inevitably be reused, and he is not a eunuch, which made Song Jiu misunderstand, so he thought to the eunuch in the palace, where is Wang Yu from the palace? The reason why it was later reused. It is also for its own reasons, after the battle of Chizhou. Cao Bin ordered Fan Ruobing to divide his troops in Xuanzhou, and Fan Ruobing knew the interest. asked Wang Yu to divide 4,000 troops to attack Xuanzhou, and actually let him take Xuanzhou, the important land of the Southern Tang Dynasty.

Cao Bin divided another part to attack Lishui in the south of Jinling City, Xuanzhou and Lishui are separated, the west is the Wuyue army, the south is isolated, Jiangbei is the territory of the Song people, the quarrying rock Dangtu has been pocketed by the Song Dynasty, Jinling will become a lonely city.

One is to cooperate with Pan Mei.

The second can also see Cao Bin's military style, that is, stability.

If you don't understand. Looking at Pan Mei's style of using troops, the two are compared, is there a siege on all sides? Even if Pan Chongche led his troops to surrender, he only ordered him to lead his troops still, and did not ask him to lead his troops from the west to cooperate with Pan Mei's army.

But the two styles are always in conflict.

At the end of the year, Wu Yue was not idle, and surrounded Changzhou layer by layer. Jinling City declared martial law, and 100,000 troops were drawn from the city to follow the Qinhuai River and Jinling City to the north. According to the water, wait for Song Shi.

The Song army stopped, the Qinhuai River was still very wide, and if you wanted to cross the river, you must prepare boats to carry the army across the river. But wait until the seventeenth day of the first month. Cao Bin hasn't moved yet, Pan Mei can't wait, he will summon the generals. shouted: "Pan Meiti has tens of thousands of fruits, and the battle will be won." If you attack and take, how can you not cross because you have a strip of water? ”

What the old brother said was not bragging. In just one sentence, the soldier made his blood boil, Pan Mei mobilized his subordinates, rode on his horse, and jumped into the Qinhuai River at once. Although Jinling City is in the south of the Yangtze River, this is the first month, and the weather is still very cold. But seeing that the main general himself went down to the river, these soldiers and generals jumped into the river one by one, and then rushed to the opposite bank.

There are many fierce brothers in the Song army, and another fierce brother Li Hanqiong saw Pan Mei doing it, looked at the wind direction, it was the north wind, and it was blowing very strongly, so he took the giant ship, which was filled with dry reeds, set fire to the wind, and burned the Nantang Water Village at once.

The two sides flanked, and the 100,000 Tang army was defeated.

However, before he could be stationed on the north shore, Pan Mei made a surprising move, attacking quickly and withdrawing quickly. Because he saw that the Song army was out of touch, Nantang asked Zheng Bin to lead the army out of the city, and drove the boat and the navy straight to the pontoon bridge. Once the pontoon bridge was destroyed by Zheng Bin, the consequences were unimaginable.

Pan Mei retreated very quickly, and finally came under the pontoon bridge before the arrival of the Southern Tang ships, met the Tang Dynasty naval army, easily defeated them, and captured Zheng Bin and other seven generals.

The process made many people sweat coldly, and it can be said that Pan Mei advanced too fast, which led to Cao Bin's continuous changes in the whole plan, and this loophole appeared. But it can also be said that Cao Bin is too steady and unrealistic, and it can also be said that Cao Bin did not cooperate with Pan Mei, Pan Mei charged on the front line, and you governor the whole army, and this huge loophole should not appear in the rear, if Pan Mei did not make up for it in time, big trouble appeared. However, the two had a good relationship, and they did not get too entangled in this matter, and afterwards covered each other up for each other in the recital, but did not attract attention.

Pan Mei was helpless, so she had to slow down the pace of the army and cooperate with Cao Bin's steadiness. To fight a protracted war, it is necessary to prepare sufficient grain and grass materials, Li Fuyi rushed to Jinghu and transferred troops to eat under Jinling City. The Northern Han side was still unwilling, Liu Jiyuan and Ma Feng attacked Jinzhou, and let Wu Shouqi defeat him. Yang Linggong was defeated repeatedly, so much so that Song Jiu doubted Yang Ye's combat effectiveness. Zhu Dong was defeated for a while and was not convinced, but he was a capable minister, and quickly reflected, so he let his general Shi Xi lead the troops, and the two countries fought under the city of Yuanzhou, and this victory was defeated, and two thousand Jiangnan soldiers were defeated. Pan Mei withdrew, the Southern Tang Dynasty took advantage of the situation to regain Bailuzhou, and Cao Bin fought Bailuzhou in World War II, beheaded 5,000 people and captured 50 warships. Zhiyang Houzhi defeated more than 1,000 people in the south of the Yangtze River in Xuanhua Town. Wang Yu was lonely in Xuanzhou, and Xing Qi, the governor of Luzhou, led the troops to cross the river to help him, and allocated Yi'an Village. Cao Bin fought with the Southern Tang Dynasty in the middle of the river and defeated 3,000 Southern Tang naval troops. Blocking the Southern Tang Navy in the city and preventing them from coming out is a stable word. The Song Dynasty saw two invasions by the Northern Han Dynasty, so that Luzhou Yao Jineng led the troops to counterattack and take Yingjian Fort. Zhao Kuangyin led thousands of soldiers to Jiangnan with the favored eunuch Wang Jien to supervise morale.

There were many sporadic battles, but they were negligible.

In the overall situation, the two armies continue to stalemate.

Song Jiu was puzzled when he heard Pan Weide finish the news ahead.

Pan Mei once served as Chai Rong's personal guard officer, Chai Rong's military strategy had a deep impact on Pan Mei, Song Jiu participated in several military operations, not counting in Bashu, it was in the Southern Han Dynasty that really participated in learning something, and was also influenced by Pan Mei. Therefore, seeing Song Jun's slow pace made him feel very puzzled. Could it be that Cao Bin still holds the idea of forcing Li Yu to surrender, so that the property and the people will not be harmed more?

But if Li Yu does not fall, there will be a bigger loophole. The 100,000 troops under Jinling City cannot be counted, and those soldiers are just temporary troops that Li Yu hurriedly armed the people in the city. Just like Liu Gang's 200,000-strong army, or the famous general Feng Changqing organized a 60,000-strong temporary army in Luoyang. What if his subordinates were 60,000 Anxi troops at that time? Then it will be defeat, and it will also make An Lushan hurt to the bones!

Therefore, Pan Meiqiang crossed the Qinhuai River, and it cannot be said that the Southern Tang army was useless, so once the 100,000 Tang troops at the mouth of the lake woke up, what should be done with the pontoon bridge in the river?

In fact, this is really not a big crisis, Zhao Kuangyin can't see this? What is Wang Ming doing?

The biggest crisis is not the 100,000 Southern Tang Army, but the extreme incompatibility of Cao Pan's use of troops......

Song Jiu thought for a long time, and suddenly said, "Eldest brother, second uncle." Third uncle, what do you think of Shi Shouxin? ”

"Famous generals."

"Then why is he deducting the people's salaries in Luoyang?"

"I'm getting old and becoming greedy." Pan Weigu said.

"Think about the story of Xiao He's self-defilement. Is Xiao He that kind of person? ”

"Brother-in-law, what do you want to say?"

"When the moon is full, it will be lost, and when the water is full, it will overflow, no matter what, my grandfather has made a great contribution to this southern expedition." But Song Jiu sighed deeply in his heart, if the lord would be Pan Mei, maybe Nan Tang would almost be able to take it at this time, but then Pan Mei would be able to wash and sleep. What is the credit for the destruction of the two countries, when it reaches the peak, it is not lower, when will it be lowered. That's why Liezi said that good and bad depend on each other. It's a good thing to be dissatisfied. So he said, "Besides, how much money has your family made over the years?" ”

"Brother-in-law is talking about ......"

"Rich and expensive This year, your family is almost to the extreme."

"My father's credit is real. Our money is earned above board. ”

"That's what you think, but outsiders think that?"

"Brother-in-law is trying to say ......"

Song Jiu whispered the thoughts that had just come to his heart. The three brothers of the Pan family were a little unconvinced. Pan Weide said: "Song Jiu, think about it. There are a lot of brothers. The mother is much more powerful than the little sister. ”

Pan Li'er went up and pulled his ears. But the fact is that the Tian family is beautiful, although the people are not yellow, Pan Mei works diligently, and after having four brothers, Pan Weide, Weigu, Weizheng, and Weiqing, he brought two younger sisters and a younger brother to Pan Li'er in the south. Because of the hot weather in the south, seeing that Song Jiu took good care of Pan Weiqing at home, Tian sent his two daughters and young son to Song's house, and it was not until Tian returned to Beijing from the south last winter that he took a few children back.

Song Jiufu persuaded: "How much money can you make on the river island, why bother?" I'm going to fight four more ships, two for 4,000 and two for 3,000, and you can compare them again. It's still money, but that's at sea, and it's not about anyone. ”

The brothers of the Pan family are still reluctant.

Song Jiu said again: "Three brothers-in-law, either we occupy an island, the cane sugar technique is about to mature, and the domestic is only run by the imperial court, what if it is overseas?" Isn't it easy to want money? Besides, I have other methods. ”

"yes, when will that sugar technique succeed?"

"There are also some of the last steps, mainly dilute sulfuric acid, which has matured, and can even be combined with the original sulfuric acid technique to become the second method of making sulfuric acid. Now there are only a few techniques left to clarify the color of sugar that have not been conquered. I believe that there will be no good news this winter, and there will be good news at the beginning of spring next year. ”

Only Song Jiu knows when it will succeed, in fact, the progress of research and development is very slow, otherwise it would have been successful a long time ago. Moreover, there will be more taxes for the Lingnan Conference this year, and Song Jiu will make up for the loss of the treasury at that time. Isn't it just burning a lot of money? But Guangnan brings 5 million to the imperial court a year, can it make up for it? Although the wealth that may be burned by that fire is ten times or more than ten times that of it, this income is long-lasting, and the Song Dynasty will gain one day in one day. Moreover, the other invisible thing is that the result of the large-scale development of the south is to bring the southern wilderness to the era of civilization ahead of schedule, and more than 1 million hectares of cultivated land in the two regions are enough to feed millions of households. It leaves room for the future reproduction of the population in the country.

"Well, we agreed," the brothers said, glancing at each other.

Only then did Pan Li'er speak: "Big brother, second brother, third brother, don't be unhappy, and third brother, you work hard to learn for another year, maybe the court will reuse it in the future." Officials are doing the right thing, and they can't be too full. Look at Zhao Pu, if he is not too greedy, why not leave the phase? (To be continued......)
