It is said that Li Yu of the Tang State decided to take advantage of Jiangling, intending to go from the waterway to Nanpingxia Prefecture, enter Jiangling Mansion in Jingzhou, the capital of Nanping State, and then make a detour from Jiangling Mansion to the north to attack Jingling in Fuzhou of the Song Kingdom.

To say that this Nanping, although in history the successive kings of Nanping such as Gao Jixing, Gao Baorong, Gao Jichong has never dared to claim to be independent of the country, but in terms of the domestic institutions and state consuls, the independence is indeed independent, although the surface was named the king of Nanping, but Gao Jixing during his reign many times took advantage of the fire to rob, Ma Chu, Xishu, the Southern Han Kingdom to pay tribute to the north, must take the road through Nanping Jiangling to enter the north, so many tribute coins were taken by Gao Jixing to kill people and take away the goods.

Nanping Gao's family also made a fortune because of this, Gu Li Yu was not only determined to quickly annex Nanping because of its weakness, but Nanping's treasury was thick and full, once Nanping's abundant treasury was seized, it was conducive to militarism and continued to expand the army to balance the Northern Song Dynasty.

He also said that the land of Jingxiang can support the population of 140,000 households in Nanping with three states, and it also has unique production conditions, which not only makes Li Yu think more and more that if he wants to dominate, the land of Jingxiang and the three states must be contested, followed by the Xishu Kingdom.

Imagine that when the Three Kingdoms were fighting for hegemony, if it weren't for the careless loss of Jingzhou by the martial saint Guan Yu and being beheaded by Lu Meng, Liu Han would have the strength to resist Cao Cao, and even the peak of Liu Bei's military strength, that is, because of the key guarantee of Jingzhou, if Jingzhou is not lost, it is really possible that history will be rewritten by Zhuge Liang, who advocated the Northern Expedition in the later period.

However, he said that Lin Renzhao and Liu Renzhen both wanted to make meritorious contributions, and they saw Li Yuzuo in the camp and said: "Shengshang, if you want to capture Nanping, do you want to use the elite of the Son of Heaven Battalion as the vanguard army!" ”

As for the vanguard army that annexed Nanping, Li Yu had already planned it, if Nanping insisted on refusing to open the way, and could not enter Jiangling Mansion, it was bound to attack from the east of Nanping, but the battle line could not be stretched too long, otherwise the two-faced beast of Wu Yueguo in the belly of Tang State would react, even if he killed Princess Yongning, who had just been sent over to make peace, he would have to send troops to attack Xinzhou in the southeast of Tang State.

Therefore, the vanguard army is divided into two situations, the first situation is that the Beifu army, which is still fierce in combat, makes a feint on the eastern front to attract Li Chuyun, so the Beifu army cannot move, so to attack the eastern border of Nanping, it is necessary to dispatch the elite of the Longxiang army to quickly attack Nanping and take Jiangling.

The second situation is that Wang Huan really grasped the character of Gao Jichong, the king of Nanping, greedy for life and afraid of death, and greedy for small profits. When he entered Jiangling, he already represented that the entire territory of Nanping had returned to the Tang State, so at this time, he only needed to send Li Huaijin's swimming army to block the sword.

"All good ministers are at ease, the matter of capturing Nanping should not be too consuming of military strength, and now that my Tang Juntian system has been established, except for the Beifu army to rob the grain production of the Song State, there is no overly abundant grain stock, and the solid attack on Nanping will be destroyed, if it does not fall for five days, the Tang State must also withdraw its troops!"

Of course, Li Yu knew that these two barbarians wanted to fight seriously, although these two fierce generals were really good at attacking, but from the level of realism, Tang Guo did not have the family background to let them fight seriously.

"Holy Lord, Chen Qiao has gone south from Shengzhou to Nanping by water yesterday." Zhang Yu was worried, and greeted Li Yu and said quietly.

"By water? Isn't that? Li Yu was suddenly shocked, Chen Qiao's envoy to Nanping, he just named him, and didn't ask too much, but when he heard that Chen Qiao actually walked along the waterway to Nanping, he immediately had an ominous premonition in his heart.

Moreover, the Tang State itself has a waterway from Runzhou in the east all the way through Nanping and up to Xishu, but this waterway is close to the Song State when it passes through Ezhou, once Chen Qiao's envoy to Nanping is discovered by the Song State Jie Du envoy, then the intention of annexing Nanping may have been known to the Song Dynasty, and it will not be a simple one-to-one at that time.

"Holy rest assured! Chen Qiao has already explained clearly, Chen Qiao went all the way south to Qizhou, then quietly went down the river, and then took Jinghu North Road into Nanping! It is impossible for the Song people to detect it! Qinghui Hall Scholar Zhang Xun was opposite each other, and said without panic.

Li Yu looked at Zhang Xun closely, and really couldn't figure out why Chen Qiao was sold in the history of this product, and he ran to Zhao Kuangyin to enjoy happiness. Recently, observing Zhang Xun, I found that this person is proficient in the geography of various parts of the southern country, and has a good plan for the conquest and the country, so he really does not look like a greedy person who is afraid of death.

"Master Zhang, this method is wonderful! From the pheasant into Jinghu North Road to Nanping Jiangling Mansion, it is not only undetectable in Songjing, but also bypasses the eyeliner of Wuping Guoyuezhou! At present, the news of my Datang plot against Nanping, presumably Wuping will not know! Wonderful! It's wonderful! Shang Shufu shot Xu Xuan and praised again and again, this is this praise that Wang Huan really can't click, it's not that he doesn't want to like it, it's that there is really no one to point it.

The knowledge of the geography of the country was originally learned by the officials, and it is said that now the Tang Kingdom has restored the old system of Chinese culture in Jinling, Wutong Academy, Songzhu Academy, Dongjia Academy and even Xingcha Academy have taught geography knowledge, and no one in the hall knows who knows. So it's just a bit of cleverness, not a ploy at all.

Wang Huan instantly set his eyes on Li Yu again, and found that Li Yu's expression was as expected... Unsightly. Just because the emperor made it clear a few days ago that he should not start a party struggle again, this unprovoked praise by Xu Xuan inevitably made the monarch suspicious again.

Besides, Li Yu's heart is indeed as Wang Huan thought, Xu Xuan's promotion to the chief of the Supreme Book is already the biggest limit, if it weren't for Bao Ying's meritorious service in the battle against Chu Prefecture, he would not have made Xu Xuan bigger among the cardinals because of his sympathy, and thus won over the same party to control the civil government under the guise of recommending talents to the country.

But for Han Xizai, this person is a famous man from the north, and the reuse of him is that on the one hand, he still has the talent to govern the country, but his talent is not as good as Pan You, and the reason why he was promoted to the Pingzhang matter under the Tongzhong Shumen is to give a signal to the courtiers, that is, don't always think about Kuang Li Yu's father Li Jing's set, three or two sentences are inseparable from moving the capital to Yuzhang, and the whole country is going south. The purpose of reusing the Beishi is very simple, I intend to be in the north, not in the south, otherwise it will be difficult for these courtiers to unify and plot against the Central Plains.

"Holy! If you cut down Nanping, the minister thinks that Li Huaijin can be used! At this moment, the atmosphere of the monarch and the minister was delicate, Li Yu did not say a word with a gloomy face, Wang Huan saw that the situation was not right, and immediately opened the topic, regardless of whether the accuracy of the topic was too high, but it was finally in line with Li Yu's intention and bypassed the topic.

Xu Xuan noticed that he suddenly sank his head, and Li Yu looked at Wang Huan with a look of appreciation, as long as he is not a fool at this moment, he can see that Wang Huan's role is the emperor's push to prevent the monopoly of a minister.

"Wang Qing just said that my heart is on the road! Li Huaijin has some talents. ”

"Holy Lord, is that... Summoning Li Huaijin into the camp! Lin Renzhao heard that he was going to take the Swimming Army as the vanguard, although he was dissatisfied, but at this moment, he also realized that no one could displease the emperor anymore, so he hurriedly surrendered.

"General Lin is in such a hurry... It seems that he also agreed to use Li Huaijin? Li Yu was a little relieved by Wang Huan's words, but after listening to Lin Renzhao's words, he said expressionlessly again.

This made Lin Renzhao a little confused, Wang Huan said that he wanted to use Li Huaijin, and he also intended to use Li Huaijin when he looked like the emperor, why did he follow the words, and the atmosphere became a little subtle.

"General Lin, the Holy Lord naturally wants to use Li Huaijin... It's just..."This military general is a military general after all, and it is still difficult to react to the political aspect, Wang Huan only reminded Lin Renzhao to be enlightened.

"Holy Lord, the minister lost his words, the ministers lost his words... All decisions should be made by the Holy One! ”

Don't you know this, Wenchen's formation of a party has annoyed the emperor a little, you are a military general who is in a hurry to summon Li Huaijin, not to mention that it seems ill-intentioned, this Li Huaijin is a general, whether he can win the trust at the moment is not known, you have this pass, the outside knows the military secrets in the camp, if the matter of Nanping is not completed, the first thing to deal with is the crime of leaking secrets.

However, Lin Renzhao's move did remind Li Yu that after all, it was the first time that he planned such a big thing, in case someone who couldn't keep the door with honey on his mouth, and leaked the matter of deceiving Nanping to open the way for a while, the consequences would be unpredictable.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I will make it clear today, this time I annexed Nanping, only I and everyone in the camp knows, if anyone leaks the military... I can't be Renjun anymore! ”
