In the sky above Wuyi Alley, a black cloud erupted.

It's like mushrooms.

This cloud lingered in the sky for a long time, and the whole city of Tokyo was talking about it.

"Oops!"

Zhao Guangyi had just woken up from a tired nap when he heard the violent explosion and quickly got up from the bed.

"What's the matter, Lord Wang......" Li Lianqiao's face was charming.

Zhao Guangyi put on his clothes and ran to the yard.

Seeing the cloud slowly rising into the sky, Zhao Er felt that time had slowed down.

He looked back at Li Forsythia.

"What is this?" Zhao Guangyi asked.

Li Lianqiao suddenly saw this mushroom cloud, and he was also shocked.

But the two people are not the same.

Zhao Guangyi was worried that the explosion would cause large-scale casualties, and he stayed in the capital to be beaten by his brother when he came back.

Li Lianqiao knew in his heart that this was the death of a wizard, and the explosion when the wizard died, would cause such a kill, this equivalent was either Huo Yizun or Yu Sanjiang, but Yu Sanjiang was not the kind of person who wanted to die easily, eighty percent of the old Yu Ye and the two of them put on Huo Yizun, a big fish.

But at the same time, martyrdom will definitely be cost-effective enough for someone to do, so how much his own people will lose, Li Lianqiao is also uneasy in his heart.

"Like, someone died." Li Lianqiao said faintly.

"Nonsense, I still have you to talk about it!" Zhao Guangyi said.

Zhao Guangyi will become very hard every time he and Li Lianqiao, as the saying goes: cheap as a dog before going to bed, and walking sideways after sleeping.

"Lead my horse!" Zhao Guangyi shouted.

"Is the prince going to the scene of the explosion?" Forsythia asked.

"What am I going to do there, of course, I hurried back to the palace to greet the queen mother, there are still two people waiting in the palace to have a child, you quickly tell me where the child is." Zhao Guangyi said.

"No, it looks like the child was taken away by them." Li Lianqiao said.

"All dead?" Zhao Guangyi was stunned.

"The place where the bombing was carried out is the direction in which the child is hidden, and eighty percent of it was blown up by the people of Shanzitang." Li Lianqiao said.

"Then how can I explain to Duan Meimei when I go back?" Zhao Guangyi said.

"Why, you still have to have an account with that little hoof, say, what do you have to do with it!" Li Lianqiao sneered.

"No kidding, I'm just scared." Zhao Guangyi said.

"Don't worry, she must not be with your mother anymore, and she has already gone to get the child." Li Lianqiao said.

"It's estimated that I'm going to be scolded by the queen mother now." Zhao Guangyi lowered his head and said.

"If you want to fight Duan Meimei's idea, I can also arrange it for you, but this girl is not clean, I suggest you forget it." Li Lianqiao said.

"Where is it!" Zhao Guangyi saw that the horse was coming, got on the horse and left.

"Hey, man." Li Lianqiao sighed.

Zhao Guangyi rode on the horse, but what he pondered was Li Lianqiao's words.

He actually really had thoughts about Duan Meimei, not because of Duan Meimei's appearance, but because he was jealous that Xu Jin had such a person around him.

Just like when he saw Xiaogui.

"The Queen Mother! Queen mother! You're all right, Queen Mother! Zhao Guangyi rode into the palace on horseback, crying and shouting all the way.

After the explosion just now, you have to pretend to be worried about your mother.

The exploding Di Bao was transported by a fast horse to Zhao Kuangyin's army, and on this day he had just arrived forty miles north of Yangzhou.

"Official, Lord Wang Pu's excerpt is also here."

Wang Pu's excerpt is similar to that of Di Bao, telling about the explosion in Wuyi Lane and the fragments of weapons and armor.

"The deceased is Huo Yizun, the treasurer of Shanzitang, who is said to have discovered the assassin and died in the enemy." Lord Wang Pu has a lot of this sentence.

Zhao Kuangyin sighed.

I am on the front line, there are still enemies watching at home, and the second child's vigilance is too weak.

"If only Eiyuki stayed in Tokyo." Zhao Kuangyin thought.

Hey, yes, this person went to Taihu Lake, what's wrong?

Suddenly, a gray bird landed lightly in front of Zhao Kuangyin's eyes, with a small foot hanging on his feet.

Zhao Kuangyin knows, this is Xu Yongzhi's parrot chirping ashes.

Zhang Dejun waited beside him, came over to untie the legs, and rolled the paper into Zhao Kuangyin.

"The minister has exhausted the Taihu Lake water army and will enter Yangzhou City under the banner of rebels. - Xu Jin. ”

Sure enough, it's still this godbrother who is worry-free.

"I know." Zhao Kuangyin replied to these two words and put them into the feet of the chirping ash.

We have to put down the matter of Tokyo Bianliang as soon as possible, after all, it is a big deal to conquer the enemy in front of you.

When many people later wrote about the battle of Yangzhou, they often thought that Shi Shouxin and Wang Xianqi were enough to be able to defeat Yangzhou, and Zhao Kuangyin came over just to punish Li Chongjin, just like the head teacher came to look at everyone from the back window.

Of course not.

Li Chongjin is quite powerful, and what is rare is that he has prestige.

This year, Li Chongjin is in his early forties, he is rich and powerful, and his somewhat curly steel hair and big voice make this person look like a rough man.

Of course not.

is also the most important feudal town in the Great Zhou, Li Yun is a fool, but Li Chongjin is a careerist.

He may be betrayed by those around him, but he has always pursued progress in his career.

If nothing else, let's just say that his ambition in these operations in the Huainan Army is not small.

A big old man actually went around persuading farmers to persuade mulberry, renting land and borrowing cattle, and arranging for his soldiers and officers to start a family in the local area.

Yangzhou is prosperous, we know that there are "fireworks in Yangzhou in March" in "Sending Meng Haoran to Guangling", and slowly envy, here are land and water wharves in the Sui and Tang dynasties, until the canal was silted up in the middle of the Qing Dynasty, and it became a third-tier city that looks inconspicuous today.

Let's put it this way, if Li Chongjin is allowed to stay in the Huainan army for twenty years, and there are no major floods and droughts in these twenty years, he may have the strength to resist the imperial court: his people will be scattered in the Huainan army, and many of his sons will grow up, and they will only know that there is Li Envoy, but not that there is a Zhao official family.

This is also why as soon as Zhao Kuangyin defeated Li Yun, he immediately ordered Li Chongjin to move.

You go to Shandong and hand over the land to my people.

Mobilization has been the means by which the Son of Heaven has mastered the princes since ancient times, and you have done a good job, so I will transfer you to a new region.

Tokugawa Ieyasu during Japan's Warring States period was once sent by Toyotomi Hideyoshi to Kanto, where birds did not at that time, and Hideyoshi pointed to a beach and said, "I think you can build a castle here." ”

Ieyasu honestly filled in that piece of sea into flat land, which is today's Tokyo, Japan. However, because he was arranged to reclaim the sea, he avoided the drudgery of invading North Korea.

Li Chongjin resisted the transfer, and finally had to tear his face with Zhao Kuangyin. First, he was afraid that Zhao Kuangyin would take the opportunity to take away the military power after transferring him to Shandong; Second, he has built Yangzhou so well in the past two years that he is reluctant.

As everyone knows, no matter how good the land is, no matter how much wealth, it is right to have the life to spend and enjoy. If safety becomes a problem, then no matter how big the world is, it is:

"I hate to press the gold thread every year and make wedding clothes for others."

Xu Yongzhi's eyes have already seen the city wall of Yangzhou.

Although Yangzhou is a big city, there is no strong pass or strong city.

Its greatest strength is wealth and population.

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, there was a big warlord named Yuan Shu, who once entrenched in the Huainan area, and even really called the emperor.

Today, whether we read novels, TV series or play the Three Kingdoms game, we all think that Yuan Shu is a fool, the generals under his command are so weak, and they actually want to be called emperors, who gave him the courage?

In fact, it is the land of Huainan, which can provide wealth, food and soldiers.

If you can still control the Yangtze River and control today's Ma'anshan, Wuhu, Nanjing, Huzhou, etc., it would be even better, Yuan Shu commented, "There are many elite soldiers here", this is the famous "Danyang soldiers" of the Three Kingdoms.

There is money, elite soldiers, and food, this is the confidence of Yuan Shu, people are the best city wall, and food is the best moat. The decline of Yuan Shu was also due to a deadly locust plague, and the year's grain harvest was almost lost, and the army began to feed on people and mulberries.

So if you want to fight Yangzhou, you have to cut off the connection between Yangzhou and Jiangnan, if you are fighting a city in Yangzhou, it is not difficult, if you want to fight Yangzhou and Jiangnan counties, then you have to fight for two years like Chai Rong last time.

After that, there were several battles of Yangzhou, and the results were all about the same, if Yangzhou had a naval army and could support the city from the south, Yangzhou would be able to hold for a long time.

If the northern army can cut off the river, or make a detour back to the south of the Yangtze River, Yangzhou will soon collapse. When later Shiyuan attacked Yangzhou in the Southern Song Dynasty, Jiedu made Li Tingzhi also defend it for more than a year.

This is also why Li Chongjin wants to take a lot of money to come forward to buy the Taihu Lake water thieves.

If the Taihu water thieves can smuggle grain, grass, weapons and medicines from the south, Yangzhou will be able to survive for a year.

As long as Yangzhou is kept for a year, Li Yu's heart will definitely change, and he will become an ally of Yangzhou from neutrality.

This is Li Chongjin's arrangement, he is going to use this shock therapy to drag down Zhao Kuangyin, the Song army of 100,000 troops, every day to consume a lot of food and money, and when there is another Khitan invasion in the north, Li Chongjin can take the opportunity to take back the Huainan counties.

"Water Army!"

On this day, Li Chongjin was patrolling the city, and the observation post in Yangzhou City reported loudly to Li Chongjin.

"Whose ship?" Li Chongjin asked.

"White flag, it says Qiu!" The Sentinel continued to report.

At this time, the Song army had already discovered this fleet advancing along the canal, and the drums and horns were loud in all directions, and the cavalry of the Song army Li Chuyun was chasing the fleet on the shore.

The two sides exchanged two rounds, but there were no casualties, more like a tentative attack.

"Anti-thief, come ashore and fight me for three hundred rounds!" Li Chuyun shouted loudly.

Li Chongjin watched this scene from the top of the city with great interest.

"Thief Qiu is afraid to die! Qiu thief is afraid to die! Li Chuyun's soldiers laughed loudly.

At this time, a man took the opportunity to jump onto the shore with a gun in his hand.

"The general over there, get off your horse and fight me!"

This one came to meet him, looking like a very typical water thief, wearing light gray clothes, wrapping his head in a handkerchief, and his calves were very strong, and he looked like a healthy black.

It's none other than our Xu Gongzi Xu Yongzhi.

Ever since he got this fleet, he has really dressed up as a water thief and tanned all the places where he should have tanned.

"You can't let Li Chongjin see the flaws." Xu Yongzhi said to Xiaogui.

This time when he entered Yangzhou City, Li Chongjin would inevitably have many doubts, and he had to let the officials and friendly troops cooperate to perform such a play together.

Li Chuyun is the person arranged by Zhao Kuangyin to act for Xu Yongzhi, but it is not enough to simply test shoot a few rounds of arrows, you must really fight and play wonderful, and Li Chongjin can believe it.

So there is this fight of guns.

Li Chuyun has always known the title of Xu Yongzhi's forbidden army gun king, so he also wants to try it out, and when he saw Xu Yongzhi coming to fight, he also stepped forward, and in the drum noise of the two armies, the two of them fought together.

Li Chuyun uses a standard horse lance, and there is no problem with foot combat, while Xu Yongzhi's gun is a bit of a beginning.

In order to prevent the enemy from recognizing his gun, he switched to a strange door gun, with two small blades on both sides of the spear head, which could be used to chop and bleed the enemy.

"Interesting, this gun is rare." Li Chongjin looked at the city and said.

Li Chongjin was surrounded by Liu Liangzuo, the governor of the navy, and he was also Li Chongjin's confidant.

"It's a crossbow." Liu Liangzuo said.

"Cross guns? Was it used in the Southern Army? Li Chongjin asked.

"It's from the east, it's a gun used by the monks of Fuso Kingdom, and it was introduced to the south with the Fuso pirates." Liu Liangzuo is really knowledgeable.

"I didn't expect there to be such a talent among the Taihu Lake water thieves." Li Chongjin couldn't help but be leisurely fascinated, wanting to meet this water thief.

"Don't you think it's a little strange, Ambassador-sama?" Liu Liangzuo frowned.

"How?" Li Chongjin said.

"This man's good skills, right?" Liu Liangzuo asked.

"It's not good," Li Chongjin looked at, "it's pretty good." ”

"Yes, this man is so familiar with guns, but many times he can just stab them and end the fight, why do he have to use the sprigs on the blade of the gun to chop? Li Chuyun was wearing armor, and the effect of chopping was almost none. Liu Liangzuo said.

Li Chongjin nodded.

They were already suspicious of the man.

Fortunately, Master Li and the army division Zhai Shouxun, Zhao Kuangyin's inside line, as we said earlier, the matter of contacting Li Yun was sabotaged by him and Li Chuyun.

"Do you cherish this young leader?" Zhai Shouxun asked.

"Well, it's talent." Li Chongjin said.

"Isn't it beautiful that these people are only good at boating, not spearmanship, and when he enters the city, call him over and let him recognize him as his father, be a righteous son, and teach him a gun and stick?" Zhai Shouxun said.

Well, in a word, Liu Liangzuo will say it in vain.

At this time, Xu Yongzhi became more and more courageous, and Li Chuyun was defeated and retreated.

It's a real fight, because Li Chuyun really can't beat Xu Yongzhi, so this scene is very good-looking.

At this time, a delicate voice came into Li Chongjin's ears.

"Master Li, how can you have time to watch the trick-style showmanship, what does this fake look mean?"

The eldest princess, Li Lianqiao, walked up to the city with a smile.

Li Chongjin hurriedly greeted him attentively, and Zhai Shouxun's heart rose to his throat.
