Li Yu sent a secret letter to his father.

The letter reads: "The son will personally escort the tribute this autumn, and I hope that the father and the queen will not read it." ”

This can be regarded as informing the emperor, I will send you something, there are a lot of people, don't blame.

Not only that, he asked the Zhao Kuangning brothers to write letters to all relevant parties, exposing Zhu Wen's ambitions and strategic moves, and asking all families to jointly launch the Zhu Campaign to eliminate this scourge that provoked war in the world.

……

Huainan Yangzhou Guangling City.

Wu Wangfu.

Fifty-three-year-old Yang Xingmi sat on the couch, his face flushed, looking at the letter in his hand, and muttering.

"Mr. Yuan, look at this."

Yang Xingmi handed over the secret letter to Yuan Xian, who was in the hall.

This person is Yang Xingmi's staff and the first adviser, and has guided Yang Xingmi's development strategy many times, so that he can turn the crisis into safety.

This letter is a secret letter jointly signed by Zhao Kuangning's brothers.

Meet this autumn to force Zhu Wen under the city of Kaifeng.

"Your Highness, we in Huainan have not stopped in the past few years. In the north, Wang Fan fought against Zhu, and there was a Qian Biao in the south, who had been in friction with us. ”

Yuan Xi touched the beard on his chin and continued: "To the west is Jingxiang, Zhao Kuangning now also has Jingnan, the land is vast and densely populated, there has been no war for many years, and the strength cannot be underestimated. ”

"What's more, their brother has also climbed to the royal family, and now they are married to King De, which can be described as justifiable."

"Zhu Wen's wolf ambition is punished by everyone."

Zhao Kuangning has endured humiliation for many years and has always surrendered to Zhu Wen. Now that he wants to attack Zhu Wen, it must also be the royal intention, otherwise, with his guts, he will not dare to do it. ”

"When the days are two years old, isn't the saint also going to beat Zhu Wen?"

Yang Xingmi said lazily.

"Your Highness, our geographical location does not allow for reconciliation with Zhu Wen, if he wants to go south, he must pass through Huainan, and we are already in trouble."

"Taking this opportunity, with Jing Xiang's containment and Wang Shifan's echo, my Huainan may not lose."

"In my opinion, what should I do?"

"An army of 50,000 can be sent to attack Yingzhou, Bozhou, Xuzhou, and Sizhou, attacking from west to east. Jing Xiang attacked Yuzhou, Chenzhou, and Xuzhou, and reached the city of Bianzhou, so that they could withstand the pressure, let's go to the east to grab the territory, isn't it good? ”

"This ...... Can Zhao Kuangning be willing? ”

Yang Xingmi furrowed his brows and didn't believe it.

"Your Highness, since they begged us to contain it, then we have to show sincerity."

"Hmm...... It's okay for you to write back and tell him what it means. ”

……

Jinyang City, Taiyuan Prefecture, Hedong.

Jin Wangfu.

Forty-eight-year-old Li Ke squinted at the only remaining blue eyeball and put down the secret letter in his hand.

"Let's take a look."

Li Cunqiao (xù) was born to Li Keyong and his side concubine Cao, who was good at riding and shooting since he was a child, was brave and open-minded, and won Li Keyong's favor.

Nineteen-year-old Li Cunqiao was eager to try in the hall, and Li Ke smiled with a smile on his face.

"My son, take a look first."

Li Cunqiao took the secret letter and looked at ten lines.

"Father, Jing Xiang has always been subservient to Zhu Wen, and this anti-Zhu is probably related to the imperial court."

"Well, with his usual style, without this guts, he must have obeyed the will of King De."

"Father, King De has just been in the domain for a year, and he has instigated Jing Xiang to oppose Zhu, I'm afraid this person is not simple."

"Do you think we should respond to his offer?"

"Father, the two states of Jin and Jiang are already in my hands, of course, we must increase our efforts and take advantage of this opportunity to occupy more prefectures and counties, otherwise Zhu Wen will have a free hand, and it will be difficult for us."

"Hmm. After the autumn, the army took Hanoi directly. ”

The four square towns in the world began to lay out around Zhu Wen's secret, and a big war that shocked the world was about to begin.

Looking at Fang Fangzhen's reply, Li Yu's heart fluctuated.

He didn't expect these Fang Zhen to defeat Zhu Wen, but as long as they attacked in all directions and restrained Zhu Wen.

Jingnan, Jingxiang's tribute and the mighty waterway of the army reached Nanyang.

Li Yu welcomed his father-in-law, Zhao Kuangning, into the national mansion.

Public before private.

In the lobby of the national government, Li Yu was on a high platform, and Zhao Kuangning and Zhao Kuangming were separated from each other in the hall.

"Your Highness, the tribute has been prepared, please give the order to stop."

Zhou Kuan came out of the class and played.

During this time, the officials of the government and the royal palace were too busy.

Not only to collect grain, but also to prepare carriages and horses, and to recruit the young and strong accompanying them, they were so busy that they hit the back of their heads.

The grain ships of Jingnan and Jingxiang crowded the Nanyang wharf.

A large number of people have to help, these grains are tribute, to be stored in the granary first, although there is no rain now, but the morning and evening dew is still there, the grain is damp and mildew is a big sin.

Not only did the three counties under the jurisdiction of Nanyang recruit 40,000 strong people, but it also expanded to the entire Dengzhou and Tangzhou, recruiting 10,000 young and strong people.

"Changshi Zhou Kuan and Sima Zhangge guarded Nanyang, the government Peng Gaoshi managed the tribute grain and grass, the government subordinate Li Huaixian was in charge of military resources and entered Beijing with the army, and Wang Houxie, who joined the army in the secretary's office, entered Beijing with the army."

"Yes."

Everyone went out to receive orders.

The army that entered Beijing this time included 20,000 barbarians from Jingnan, 30,000 troops from Jingxiang, four regiments of new-style musketeers and four thunder car battalions formed by Li Yu.

Four rocket launch vehicles were produced some time ago, but they were still far from Li Yu's requirements.

Shenjifang is still stepping up production.

Some veterans were transferred from the minecar battalion and a rocket launch battalion was reorganized, although there were only four launchers, but the shelves were erected first.

In order to protect Nanyang, Li Yu appointed Wei Ai as the Nanyang defense envoy and Li Xiong as the deputy defense envoy of Nanyang, leaving a regiment as a hole card to protect the palace.

Leave a minecart battalion in Fangchengguan to help defend the city.

"Li Fu subordinates, bring more ammunition and reserve guns in case you need them."

"Yes."

Four months have passed since the arsenal was emptied in June this year, and the arsenal is about to be filled again.

Let's not talk about the fixed gunpowder and lead bullet, let's just say that the Nanyang six-turn gun can now produce up to 30 guns per day.

This time you can carry 3,000 pistols into Beijing.

The tribute grain brought into Beijing was 200,000 stones, plus the rations of 50,000 troops and 50,000 young people, at least 300,000 stones were required.

To travel by land from Nanyang to Chang'an, nearly 10,000 cars and horses are required.

In order to keep it secret and enter the Wuguan smoothly, these armies have to change their appearance and turn into civilians, and their weapons, bows, arrows, and armor must be loaded and hidden.

Think about how much logistical work this has to be?!

Although only 100,000 people entered Beijing, there were 80,000 or 90,000 people serving them in Nanyang.

After arranging the affairs of the family, Li Yu explained to his father-in-law: "Father-in-law, when the son-in-law enters Beijing, the most reassuring thing is Nanyang, and the key is Fangchengguan." ”

"You also know that there is still a fine work by my side that has not been dug up, and Zhu Wen may know our every move at any time."

"I'm worried that after Zhu Wen suffers losses in Jingshi and Luoyang, he will jump over the wall in a hurry and directly attack Fangcheng Pass, hoping that my father-in-law will send troops to help defend it."

Zhao Kuangning pondered for a moment and smiled slightly.

"Your Highness, don't worry, I will send troops to protect your family."

"Your Highness, I left two thousand sailors in Jingnan, if Nanyang is dangerous, I can take your family away, and you can rest assured that you can enter Beijing."

Zhao Kuangming also said.

In fact, the two fathers-in-law have no confidence in directly confronting Zhu Wen, and it would be good to be able to protect themselves, so they have been thinking about how to escape.

"Father-in-law, after I send grain to Beijing, you will lead the army to attack Langshan Mountain, you don't have to attack Yuzhou, and at the same time capture Luyang Pass. After the completion of the Beijing division, the decision will be made. ”

Everyone talked about some arrangements in the front hall again, and then they dispersed.

In the past few days, taking advantage of the sunny weather, the tribute was moved out of the granary and loaded into trucks ready to be shipped.

The young men and young men were each given 500 copper coins, which was their wages, and those who could take them home these days were busy sending money.

The 50,000 troops took off their armor and turned into people, and they also carried grain and grass.

That night, Li Yu and the princess accompanied their father-in-law to dinner, Li Yang and Li Jue's two little children came out to meet their grandfather, Li Jue was very energetic, staring at the black eyes, babbling and greeting the two grandfathers, Li Yang was drooling and falling asleep, as if he was dozing off endlessly.

"This kid is the sleeping boy, the sleepy worm."

"Eh, don't say that, Yang'er is a son-in-law, but she looks like a son-in-law."

Zhao Kuangning dotingly looked at his grandson, who was still playing games with Zhou Gong, with a smile on his face.

Zhao Kuangming hugged Li Jue and said: "Jue'er is so sensible, how happy she is to see us." ”

The two sisters were a little crying and laughing.

The two old men are now starting to divide yours and mine.

Li Yu pouted secretly, these two stinky boys don't have a good thing.

Last night, he gave him a big water to rush to the Dragon King Temple, and now he still has the smell of urine from these two boys.

After talking about some family life and sending away the two fathers-in-law, Li Yu had time to talk to the princesses.

"Embroidery Niang Biniang, you two take care of the palace with the children at home, a lot of hard work, I am going to Jingshi, far away from home, you have to take care of yourself, take care of our home."

As soon as these words came out, the eyes of the two little princesses turned red.

Bi Niang took Li Yu's hand and said with a crying voice: "Husband, can you come back soon?" You're not at home, I'm a little scared of ......"

"Don't be afraid, I'll be back as soon as I'm done."

"Husband, when you go out, you have to be cautious, there are no eyes on the battlefield, be careful, Bi Niang and I are at home...... Waiting for you ......"

Before the words fell, the embroidery girl couldn't hold back any longer, and tears fell down her eyes.

Li Yuyi hugged the two in his arms and kissed them on the face.

He also knew that going to Beijing was extremely dangerous, and he didn't know if he could successfully complete the goal, but he tore through his disguise, and the face-to-face battle with Zhu Wen was about to begin.

He knew how difficult the path he had embarked on, and what awaited him was not flowers and applause, but blood and butcher knives.

The end of the Tang Dynasty and the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period were extremely brutal of China's two great north-south divisions.

During this period, hunger, death, and war were the norm for these fifty years, and peace, prosperity, and stability were indeed a luxury.

Feeling the body temperature of the two little women in his arms, and listening to the snoring of the two breathing steadiers next door, Li Yu felt more and more that the burden on his shoulders was heavier.

He received information that the situation in Chang'an at this time was extremely complicated.

Since Zhu Wen captured the territory of Gyeonggi Province and part of Kannai Province in the third year of Tianfu, he divided his troops and garrisoned them and strictly controlled them.

There are 20,000 Su guards of Zhu Youliang in Chang'an City, Huazhou of Tongzhou in Jingdong is the 20,000 army of Zhu Youyu of the Zhenguo Army, and 20,000 troops of Shucong in the north of Jingbei.

At this time, Yang Chongben was taking 30,000 soldiers from Suining, Fengxiang, Jingyuan and other sections to confront Shucong, while Zhu Youyu left Huazhou with a large army to conquer Yang Chongben.

The chaotic Chang'an, the chaotic Guannei Road, and Li Yu will make the situation even more confusing.
