Chapter 43: The Harem (click on the last page to read)

"How could the land of Dengzhou fall so easily? The last time Li Yu's troops went out of Luzhou and invaded Suiyang, I sent the fierce Wusheng army over! ”

On the ninth day of the month of melon, Zhao Kuangyin's army since the end of the Chuzhou War, all the way to the north, all the way along Chu, Chengzhou to Tokyo, at this moment has arrived at Jingdong Road, it is necessary to know that the Northern Song Dynasty since the founding of the country will be the original Zhou land all the way, Xuzhou Picheng is subordinate to Jingdong Road.

Moreover, the Song State brought part of the main elite to the south to attack the Tang Dynasty, and in the border between the Song and the Northern Han Dynasty, although there was a remote forbidden army, if the Northern Liao State Yeluxian led the cavalry south, then the Bianjing Outer Defense was in danger of trapping the city.

Although a lot of troops were placed on Jingzhao Road, after all, the army was an army composed of foreigners, and it was impossible to determine whether it could defend the city for the Great Song Dynasty, Gu Zhao Kuangyin was both surprised and a little dull when he saw the Han documents in Li Yu's hands, the Northern Han Dynasty was not destroyed, the Tang Kingdom was prominent, and the clear and clear situation suddenly became confusing again, I thought that this southern expedition was at the end, but it didn't come to pass, and Li Yu gave him an unexpected worry again!

"Wu Shengjun is also the elite of my Great Song Dynasty, and it has always been a must-conquer and a defensive! How could it be so easy..."Wang Quanbin, the envoy of the Loyal Army, took the military report, carefully examined it, and even suspected that the military report was wrong.

It is necessary to know that the territory of Dengzhou, after being divided into the southwest road of Beijing, has the five jurisdictions of Qicheng, Neixiang, Nanyang, Shunyang, and Xichuan, and the city is Zhao Kuangyin to Dengzhou Tiandi, the source of grain and grass, it can be said that the city is the core of Dengzhou, once the city falls, the grain and grass tax is lost, and the other four counties have no city to rely on. Therefore, when Li Yubing sent Suiyang, Xue Juzheng, the governor at that time, guessed that Li Yu's real target was not Suiyang or Songzhou, but the city of Dengzhou, which was known as the "grain city".

When Suiyang fell, Xue Juzheng did the opposite, advising Zhao Kuangyin not only to strengthen Suiyang's city defense, but to transfer all the main forces of Wusheng's army to Dengzhou, for fear that Li Yu would seize the grain production of the north to enrich the country and strengthen the army.

"Can you find out which country's army attacked the city?" Although he already had an answer in his heart, Zhao Kuangyin at this time could no longer accept that Li Yu's battle not only did not fall a city, but also took the grain and grass in the north.

"According to the words of the defeated army, the enemy army is wearing my Great Song Bu Man armor, close to the city gate but pretending not to attack, coaxing the Wusheng army to make Jia Zhen out of the city..."

"Jia Zhen went out of the city and was defeated? I know that Jia Zhen has always been cautious, how could he be so careless? Zhao Kuangyin snatched the general report back again, and said with doubts on his face.

"The other party said that it was the subordinates of Wang Wei, the general of Suiyang, and General Jia had always been friends with Wang Wei..."

"I see, it's still this Li Yu! I said that before Zhongzhou Li Lian was defeated and killed, the Suiyang guard Wang Wei has never been afraid of death, how could he lead his troops to flee without a trace..."

Hearing the word Wang Wei, Zhao Kuangyin just sobered up, it turned out that the fall of Dengzhou Grain Land and the city had laid the groundwork when Suiyang fell before.

"So this Li Yu, before the last sneak attack on Suiyang, had already planned to take the grain and grass tax from Suiyang!" Since Wang Xianqi saw Li Yu for the first time, he deeply felt that this person must be a great disaster for the Song Kingdom, and when he heard the explanation of Zhao Guanjia, he realized the authentic way.

"Li Yu is still young, how can he be so calculating! There must be someone from a high level to mention it, is it difficult to make it a big official Han Xizai from the north of the Tang Kingdom? Or is it Hu Ze? Wang Quanbin didn't know how to persuade the Zhao official family like this, so he could only use these words to make Zhao Kuangyin not think of himself as inferior to Li Yu.

"Nope! I saw that although this person is still young, he has a clever mind! Do whatever it takes! This seizure of the city's grain and grass tax must have been planned by him! Zhao Kuangyin became more and more curious about this Li Yu, and at this moment he had forgotten the pain of the city, and only wondered where he had gone wrong, and he was calculated by a young emperor.

"Shi Shouxin! When you and I met Li Yu in the pavilion, did you notice anything wrong with this person, or, it didn't look like a weak crown year..."

"Could it be that what the official family said was a seizure of ancient books? I didn't believe in this stuff since I was a child! Maybe it's a coincidence, the good instructor knows that the little general beside Li Yu also has an extraordinary posture..."

"The official family still don't have to worry about themselves, maybe Li Yu is really in a hurry as General Shi said..."Wang Quanbin seemed to be afraid that Zhao Kuangyin would think of something evil, so he hurriedly persuaded him.

"That's it! You don't know him, when it comes to hypocrisy and cruelty, he doesn't lose to his father Li Jing; When it comes to cunning and hypocrisy, he is not inferior to Shizong Chai Rong, such a person has the posture of a hero, but his scheming is too heavy and murderous, and he has seized the opportunity of heaven in every way, either dying young or dying unexpectedly! ”

......

However, when Zhao Kuangyin retreated north with his army to Picheng, Li Yu did usher in the biggest crisis in the emperor's career, who was this crisis, Pan You, Li Yuanzhen and others who accompanied him saw Li Yu sad and miserable along the way, and they all thought that he was worried about Li Huaijin and the remaining 20,000 Song troops, but this was not the case.

Let's say that Li Yu brought his own troops back to Jinling, and saw that the people of Jinling were greeted by the road, and the city not only resumed the previous cars to sell away, but the Tang people and the city guards all looked at Li Yu, the emperor of the Tang State, with admiration. Besides, Lin Renzhao, who returned to Beijing from Shouzhou to restore his life, has changed his views on the emperor upside down, seeing the emperor enter Jinling City, thinking about what to say along the way, but always seeing the emperor sad, looking at Li Yuanzhen, Pan You and others, but his face was full of doubts, I don't know what the situation is, I only stand beside the Son of Heaven and dare not speak.

"What happened to our son? Zhao Kuangyin went south to attack the Tang Dynasty with great fanfare, but instead of occupying the land of one state and one city, he gave away 20,000 soldiers and horses of our Tang Dynasty in vain, who can ...... this alone" Lin Renzhao saw that Li Yu had been full of sadness, and was silent, and quietly slowed down his pace and approached his old comrade-in-arms Liu Renzhen.

"Liu Shouhui! Why do you say the Son of Heaven is sad? After winning the battle and destroying the military prestige of the Song State, how can our emperor still look like a loser! ”

"Be quiet! The Son of Heaven is shrewd, the old man feels that maybe it was Bao Ying's death in Chuzhou..."Liu Renzhen directly pulled Lin Renzhao to his ear and whispered.

"As soon as Bao Ying died, the guards of Chuzhou each received a reward, especially that Ling Su, who was not only crowned with the rank of general, but also brought back to Jinling by our emperor! It can be said that Bao Ying died, and the chicken dog in Chuzhou City ascended to heaven! ”

Lin Renzhao also looked at Ling Su, the young general of Dingyuan in the rear, and found that this young general's nose was like a hanging gall, and he did have some bearing. And Ling Su saw that the style of Jinling City was so prosperous after the emperor's new dynasty was renovated in the rear, and he was a little amazed, and saw the two old generals whispering together, and wanted to bypass his gaze, but found that General Lin Renzhao directly aimed his eyes at himself, and looked up and down without any disguise, which made him a little humble, and hurriedly raised his hand to make a gesture to him, and when he raised his restrained hand, he found that Lin Renzhao's smile at himself became more and more obscene.

"Han Qing, how can you make your own decisions and send the queen back from Yuzhang!" Li Yuzheng didn't know how to relieve his boredom, and looked at Han Xizai's old face that had been happy since he came up from the imperial city, and suddenly felt a little impatient.

It stands to reason that although the emperor did not win the battle, but he was in person to retreat Zhao Kuangyin, in recent days, Jinling City has poured back tens of thousands of people, and the Son of Heaven in the teahouse has repelled Zhao Kuangyin's hundreds of thousands of troops with his own heavenly might, and the ministers in the imperial city are from the north Han Xizai, Hu Zewei guards the city to greet each other, all with a smile on their faces, which can be described as high-spirited, but Li Yu saw these people, he did not give a good face at all, but came up and reprimanded Han Xizai for making his own opinions.

Let's say that when Li Yu went north from Jinling a few days ago, Zhou Eying, the queen's sister, dragged Li Yu's clothes to the end, and cried to go north with him, but Li Yu was ruthless and ordered the female officials in the palace to pull her back to the imperial city and put her under house arrest in Ganlu Palace. Along the way, he was full of sorrow, and everyone thought that he was really worried about how to deal with Li Huaijin's soldiers and horses, but in fact, Li Yu had been worried about how to coax Zhou Eying and how to deal with the relationship between Zhou Eying and Empress Zhou Ehuang.

This is to be modern in modern terms, but it is properly broken by the code of ethics! How do I explain this to Emperor Zhou E, I am afraid that this queen will be angry for a while but will take the life of the child in her womb, Li Yu is sad, but let Han Xizai, who has just come up with the civil official, turn around.

"Holy forgiveness... The old minister also saw that the saint and the queen have always been in love, and the queen is pregnant with a dragon heir, and there is a lot of inconvenience in Yuzhang, so the old minister is..."

"That's it! You don't have to meet here, quickly let the guard of honor in the rear withdraw, so as not to mess up Jinling Fang Road! Li Yu sat on the big car book brought from the palace, and was about to leave for Ganlu Palace, thinking about how to explain to Emperor Zhou E, when there was another blockage in the rear.

"Holy! Do you still remember the promise to the old man before the expedition? ”

"What's the matter? I... I really don't remember what I promised, General Liu wants some mansion diners? I will not be stingy! As soon as Liu Renzhen's voice came out, Li Yu shouted in his heart that it was not good! I thought in my heart that this old guy might have a bad memory, and he forgot about the fact that he was going to give his daughter to Li Yu into the harem some time ago, but he didn't expect that when this old thing went south from Shouzhou, he kept thinking about it.

"Don't pretend to be confused with the old man! If the saint doesn't make it clear to the old man today, then the old man will keep bothering with the saint about the military! Liu Renzhen said nothing, but directly disregarded his identity, drove away the person who carried the big car, and lifted the big car on Li Yu's left side, which immediately made Li Yu cover his forehead impatiently. This old thing is still playing impatient in the street.

"Old General! How can you ignore your identity and drive with the palace people! This... "Han Xizai saw that this old general actually raised his big car directly with the eunuch at the same level regardless of his face, and he, the person who cared most about the emperor's platform, hurriedly went up to dissuade him, although he didn't know what the Son of Heaven promised him, he didn't care about anything else, and he had to drag it back when he went up, but his strength was limited, and he couldn't pull back Liu Renzhen, who was reluctant to do so.

"I remembered! Why is the old general in a hurry to do this, wait for me to go back to the palace for a day of rest, and choose a day! Choose a day to let Liu Weixuan enter my side! ”

"The old man knows that as the words of the Son of Heaven and the sage, he will not regret it! The old man will go back and let the little girl prepare! Seeing that the goal had been achieved, Liu Renzhen put down the big car with a smile on his old face.
