The battle of Nanping was much smoother than imagined, and even Pan You and others never thought that the annexation of Nanping would be so smooth, which also shows from the side that in the period of the Five Dynasties of Rebellion, it was not a period that needed good people.

After the first battle of the Longxiang Army annexed Nanping, the elite of the Tianzi Battalion who stayed in Jinling Longqian Mountain was also in an uproar, and the first victory also told the ministers of the Jinling Dynasty that in the period of chaos, it is true that only through a stable and strong army can a country be able to establish its monarchy, and the young monarch of the Tang State chose to develop the militaristic system against the public is indeed wise.

This joy did not last long, at least, in the eyes of Pan You, Han Xizai and others, the Tang State is not proud at present, judging from the current situation, the land of Jingxiang Sanzhou, which has belonged to the Tang State, borders the Song State in the north, Fuzhou, Fangzhou, Yingzhou and other military important places; And the western border of Guizhou is close to Western Shu, of course, Shu is not worth worrying about at present.

Since Li Yu became emperor, Xishu has no sense of existence except for promising to form an alliance with some soldiers and horses; And Wuping in Jingnan also needs to be worried, just because (you are too beautiful) the land of Wuping claims to be the envoy of the festival, and Zhou Xingfeng was awarded by Zhao Kuangyin to be the envoy of the Wuping festival degree and the fourteen states were sealed at the same time, that is to say, while Wuping hated the Tang Dynasty, he resisted the Tang State with pro-Song Dynasty, so it is not difficult to predict that the land of Jingzhou of the Tang State will be attacked by the Song army and Wuping at an appropriate time.

It is precisely at this point that on the seventh day of August in the second year of Jianlong in the Northern Song Dynasty, when Li Yu was still on his way back to Jinling, the political hall had already begun to compete for the next move of the Tang Kingdom, and the focus of the dispute was very different, some said to take the opportunity to take Wuping, some said to take the opportunity to invade the Southern Han Dynasty, and some said that Wu Yue was sent to Wu Yue when the country was numb, or to take the Southern Min Qingyuan, which should have belonged to the Tang State a long time ago, of course, the development of things is also inseparable from Li Yu's conjecture, that is, whether it is a civil minister or a military general, there is one thing in common, That is to ignore the Western Shu Kingdom first.

That is, on the second day of Li Yu's return, the courtiers still have different opinions, as for Li Yu's current plan, it is difficult for the ministers to find out, and only Wang Huan, Pan You and others guess that Li Yu is still inclined to send troops to Wuping, in order to end the disputes in the court as soon as possible, Li Yu also followed the wishes of the ministers to hold a debate in the Taiji Palace, and the topic of the debate is, where the Tang State will attack the south next.

First of all, Shang Shu Cheng Pan You, Zhongshu Ling Han Xizai, Wei Weiqing Li Ping, Household Squire Feng Yanji and others formed a party that if they wanted to defend Jingzhou for a long time, they must get rid of the trouble of Jingnan, Wu Ping.

Then Zhang Xun, a scholar of the Qinghui Palace, Xu Xuan, the chief of Shangshu, and Yan Xu, Tongping Zhangshi, and others believed that they should first concentrate their forces to solve the great trouble of the Qian clan of Wu Yue State under the belly of the Tang State when the Song State had no time to look south, and even if they fought hard with the Song State and relied on the danger of the Yangtze River moat, they were not without the strength to fight.

What needs to be mentioned here is that in the official history, Pan You and Li Ping were both the main battle factions against the Song Dynasty, and it was precisely Li Yu who was mediocre at that time, using Zhang Xun as an important minister, and listening to Zhang Xun's words to force Pan You to kill, and also forced Li Ping to hang himself in prison, until after the death of the country, Zhang Yu deceived Chen Qiao to death, and then went to the Northern Song Dynasty to enjoy happiness, Li Yu hugged Xu Xuan and cried sadly, and regretted killing Pan You and Li Ping.

Of course, the rest of the factions are not worth mentioning, of course, it should also be noted that Wang Huan also wanted to persuade Li Yu and Pan Youcheng to persuade Li Yu to take Wuping Changsha Mansion, which had declined due to more than one rebellion, but he was afraid that Li Yu suspected that he was also following the battle of the Xing Dynasty and the Chinese Party, so he insisted on the previous practice and led Tang Yue to "make peace with the mud"

"Initiation! In recent days, the northern spies have ascertained that Zhao Kuangyin has been transferred to Fuzhou from the southwest road of Jingxi to Suizhou, Shenzhou, and Anzhou, so it can be seen that the Song State wants to do it in Jingzhou, not only to prevent Wuping from echoing the north and south of the Song State Fuzhou Army, but also to prevent the resurgence of the old clan in Jingzhou! After a moment of silence in the court, Pan You got up and said expressionlessly.

"When I left Jiangling, I killed the entire family of the king of Nanping on the grounds that the Gao clan of Nanping killed the Tang envoy without permission, and ordered Lin Renzhao to kill all the troops of the Guizhou guard Li Jingyan, and Nanping revived, I don't think they still have that ability." Li Yu hesitated for a while, but first dispelled Pan You's doubts that Nanping would resurge, and Li Yu's methods were tough, and Pan You also knew, he knew whether Nanping would resurge, but he thought that the current priority was still in the west, so he said a lot of words, and tried to make Li Yu increase his troops to the west again.

"Xu Xuan, you are the main conquest of Wu Yue, but do you know how many troops I have and how long I can take Wu Yue."

"Returning to the saint, Wu Yueguo is now a foreign powerhouse, the lord of the country, Qian Hongyu, imprisoned the courtiers who were strong against the Song State, although this person is beneficial to the people, but it is also extreme..."

"Xu Qing said if he has something to say, since it is for the sake of the country, I will not cure you for the crime of covering up your mouth!" Li Yu was curious when he saw this, but he raised his finger and asked him to finish his words, since ancient times, half of what he said was annoying and uncomfortable, and Li Yu was often uncomfortable by these courtiers now.

"The minister had the courage to say it, and the old friend of Wu Yue sent a letter, and the letter said that Qian Hongyu, the lord of Wu Yue, had a mediocre appearance, just because, in recent years, he has worshiped Buddha too much, and built temples and preached with the treasury, and expanded the courtyard to raise monks. Then Wu Yue must be taken by Tang! Pan You raised his voice, but still replied with a slight trembling.

"Worship Buddha? Do you mean to let me send him a Buddhist monk to paralyze him with preaching, and take the opportunity to capture Wu Yue? ”

"Exactly, the saint can imagine that the Song State will take the Northern Han Dynasty in the near future, and my Tang State will only have the land of Jingxiang rich in grain, and there will indeed be a steady stream of grain and grass to lose, however, once the Song State soldiers reach the Yangtze River moat, although my Tang State has natural dangers to defend, it must also invest all its troops, and if Wu Yueguo takes the opportunity to sneak attack my Xinzhou and Changzhou; Even if he colluded with Qingyuan to attack Jianzhou, my Datang is still in danger of losing the country! "It is undeniable that although Xu Xuan's plan is a little greedy and bold, taking Wu Yue Kingdom is indeed beneficial and harmless to Tang Guo.

Qian Hongyu's temperament is well known to everyone, at that time Li Yu sent Bao Ying to form an alliance, and he also expected that he would agree, and the purpose of his promise was also very simple, wait and see, because the Tang State's strength was still strong in the south at this time, so for Qian Hongyu, the Tang State could not openly exonerate, otherwise the Northern Song State would have an accident against the Liao State, and the Tang State would still have a chance to defeat Wu Yue.

Of course, Qian Hongyu also played two hands of cards with Sun Guangxian at that time, that is, wait and see, if you Tang State blocked the Song army, we are still allies, but if Tang State was taken by Song State and the land of Erzhou was approached by Jinling, then Nanping at that time could cater to Song soldiers into Tang State, and Wu Yueguo could also take advantage of the situation to stab Tang State in the back to make amends to Song State.

That's why Pan Youxian suggested that Li Yu go to various countries to form an alliance, and it is inevitable that the southern countries will have their own ghosts, but they can seek common ground while reserving differences, the same is that everyone does not want to be the first to be destroyed, and the best way not to be the first to be destroyed is to hold a unity alliance.

"Qian Hongyu worships Buddha and builds a temple, I can do what he likes, but if I go to take Wu Yue, Tang will also hurt myself, and the land of Wu Yue is in danger of losing the country to the Tang State, but the military strength is still fierce, and I still need to think about making a decision!"

"Holy God decisive! After all, Wu Yue has thirteen states, cut the western capital of Hangzhou, Yuezhou is seriously ill, and it is close to Jinling, the capital of my Tang Kingdom, solid, and the minister thinks that he still can't tear his face with Wu Yue at present! ”
