It is said that the Tang army under the command of Li Yu marched into two roads, one route was led by the Jiangzhou guard general Zhu Lingzhu to lead the troops of 50,000 tun in Xiapheasant, and one route was led by the hussar general Liu Renzhen to lead the troops to 60,000 troops in Yuanzhou, and Jingzhou Jiedu envoy Lin Renzhao led the troops to Lizhou in the north of Wuping, and personally led a group of personal guards, has entered the Sanjiangkou in Wuping, sent a line of troops to Wuping to boil the cottage, and approached Langzhou, the capital of Wuping, and Zhang Chongfu, the guard general of Langzhou, saw that the elite of the Tang army was fierce, and hurriedly reported to Zhou Baoquan after Wuping stayed, and asked Zhou Baoquan to order, Let Zhang Wenbiao lead the army north from Hengzhou to rescue Langzhou.

However, just when Zhou Baoquan wanted to issue an edict to ask Zhang Wenbiao to lead the troops north, Li Guanxiang, the secretary of Changsha Prefecture, immediately advised Zhou Baoquan to beware of Zhang Wenbiao's wolf ambitions, Zhou Baoquan was a child under the age of ten after all, and at this moment he listened to Li Guanxiang's suggestion and fell into a dilemma.

At the same time, Li Yu's soldiers divided into two routes, coupled with Lin Renzhao's strategy of going south, was also to strictly prevent Wu Ping from asking for help from everywhere, especially beware of Wu Ping asking for help from the Song generals Li Chuyun and Murong Yanzhao.

At the beginning, Li Yu set the first step to dominate the strategy, and the first pacification of Jingxiang Sanzhou was also to guard against the current annexation of Wuping's fourteen states, Wuping could ask for help everywhere unscrupulously, and now the Jingzhou land north of Wuping was tightly defended by the Tang army, which naturally cut off Wuping's route to the Song State for help.

Then ordered Liu Renzhao to lead his troops to Yuanzhou, the first purpose was to enter Wuping Prefecture and move Zhang Wenbiao north to rebel, and the second purpose was to prevent Zhang Wenbiao from jumping over the wall in a hurry and send people to Chenzhou in the Southern Han Kingdom for help. In fact, the weak country of the Southern Han Dynasty also made a difference in the turmoil at that time, but it was not big, and the "glorious deeds" of the Southern Han State were to take advantage of the war between the Southern Tang Dynasty, Ma Chu, and the Northern Zhou Dynasty to play a comfortable game of fishermen and profits.

When the Northern Zhou Dynasty invaded the Tang Dynasty, Li Jing, the lord of the Tang Kingdom, was beaten and begged for mercy, and went to the emperor's name, at this time Liu Yan, Uncle Pan, and Zhou Xingfeng of Chu took the opportunity to regain the lost land, but did not completely regain the lost land. Chenzhou, the second place of Lianzhou also belongs to Chu, the Southern Han Dynasty took advantage of the fire to rob at this time, and after entering Chenzhou, the anti-guest was the main thing, and Zhou Xingfeng became the envoy of the festival, and he felt that Wuping was waiting for production, and the population was very small, so he did not dare to send troops to return Chenzhou and Lianzhou.

It is precisely because of the continuous civil strife in Wuping that the population has reached less than 90,000, and the number of soldiers who can fight is less than 50,000, so Zhou Xingfeng did not dare to massacre Zhang Wenbiao's entire clan with great fanfare because he was afraid of another civil strife.

Let's say that Wuping's current situation is that it will not work to go north to seek the Song Dynasty, and it is certain that the Western Shu State will not send reinforcements, and at this time, the enemy of the South Han still has the possibility of sending troops, so Li Yucai sent Liu Renzhen to divide troops in Yuanzhou and go all the way south to keep an eye on Zhang Wenbiao's general to ask for help from the Southern Han.

"Pass the order, the whole army will stop going south, first line up at the mouth of the three rivers, and wait for the order of the Son of Heaven!" Jingzhou Jiedu made Lin Renzhao stand at the mouth of the river with a dragon stick in his hand, and looked at the fleeing Wuping army with a rebellious look.

"Father, the Son of Heaven asked me to wait to persuade Wu Pingliu to surrender, and our army directly divided the troops into two ways to take the Xishan Cottage and Sanjiangkou, isn't this wrong, and the order of the Son of Heaven?" Lin Yan's expression was suspicious, and he asked inexplicably.

"Persuasion is naturally to persuade surrender, but the Wu'an army in this Wuping land has always regarded itself very highly, unlike the Jingzhou army, if it is not for the fierce military merits, the people of Changsha Mansion are not willing to let me wait to enter the city to persuade me to surrender!" Lin Renzhao frowned slightly. For the matter of persuasion, Li Yu has formulated different persuasion strategies since he attacked Jingzhou, there is a way that it is difficult to persuade damned ghosts with good words, such as Gao Jichong, people will be obedient after two sentences of persuasion, which is also related to Sun Guangxian, who saw the wind and steered the rudder.

Li Guanxiang in the land of Wuping, Zhang Chongfu are both weak people who are different from Gao Jichong, and they have always been hostile to Tang Guo, so the best way to persuade Wuping to surrender is to beat him up first, and to influence him with words, but also to imply that at present, the Song State has no time to look south, and it is only a matter of time before Tang Guo takes Wuping, Tang Guo can take Wuping, but now he is willing to talk to you well, so you had better open the door and let Tang people in, otherwise Wu Ping will not even have the last chance to speak.

"The Tang army stopped at the mouth of the Sanjiang River and stopped fighting? Why? Li Xianggong thinks that Lone should listen to General Zhang Chongfu's words and pass on the obituary again to let Zhang Wenbiao go north? In the city of Changsha Mansion, Zhou Baoquan, who still looked like a child, was standing at the entrance of the hall, just looking at Zhou Baoquan's appearance, but he did not seem panicked.

"When Zhou Gong was still able to speak, he instructed that if he wanted to stabilize Wuping, he must first get rid of Zhang Wenbiao, and this person must not be trusted! At present, the Tang army is arrayed at the mouth of the three rivers and does not attack, it must be... I want to talk to me Wu Ping..."Li Guanxiang stopped thinking for a moment, and said to the young lord Zhou Baoquan.

"The Tang people took my Hunan land before, and now they are raising troops again, they must have wolf ambitions, and the minister can lead the troops north to confront the Tang army!" Zhou Baoquan wanted to open his mouth to speak again, but Yang Shiwan suddenly held a knife to speak.

"General Yang, don't be brave, Wuping's soldiers are only 50,000, and the Tang State now has 200,000 people in the western border army alone, and I don't know how many elite troops in Jinling are, openly confronting Tang, Wuping will not be long in coming!" Li Guanxiang was suddenly startled by Yang Shiwan's words, and then said with three points of respect.

"The Tang State lined up at the mouth of the three rivers, and it was bound to rely on the soldiers and generals to blackmail the lord into surrendering! If there is no war, the death of Wuping will be tomorrow! Yang Shiwan knew that Wu Ping would not be able to escape this catastrophe no matter what, so he immediately rebuked Li Guanxiang.

"The Tang Kingdom is now very fierce, and our army is outnumbered and dull and difficult to resist, in my opinion, it is better to wait for the Tang envoy to enter Changsha Mansion and listen to the conditions of the Tang Kingdom! Maybe it's... Li Yu wants to ask for some money, grain and grass, if so, then give it to him! When the matter was disputed, Wang Duan, the governor of Langzhou, entered and persuaded Zhou Baoquan slowly, and at the same time, in order to appease Yang Shiwan, he said again, "Brother Yang is also at peace first, if the Tang State wants to pay tribute to Wuping Sui, this is understandable, if it is, the ambition of the wolf son of the Tang State really wants my lord to cut the land, then I will lead the troops to the Sanjiangkou with the Yang brothers to fight to the death with the Tang army." ”

Some time ago, Li Yu openly sent envoys into a group, and held high the Tang flag all the way into Quanzhou of the Qingyuan Kingdom, and the lord of the Qingyuan Kingdom left Congxiao personally went out of the city to meet the Tang envoys and led the way into the city, and Liu Congxiao did make a gesture of submission.

After the envoys of the Tang State stayed in Qingyuan for a few days, they stayed in the Qing Dynasty and issued an edict from the Qing Dynasty that the ministers were attached to the Tang State, and half of the national taxes would be paid to Jinling, and the Tang envoys were satisfied to go out of Quanzhou and return to Jinling.

Therefore, Wang Duan guessed that Li Yu of the Tang State sent envoys to Qingyuan with great fanfare to support the inexhaustible money and grain that could be used to resist the Song Dynasty in the future, and Li Yu must not want to raise swords and soldiers at this time and damage his national strength. After all, he is already so thick-skinned that he directly and blatantly asks for money, and it is impossible to ask for money and fight again in a serious way, which is also a move to damage his reputation.

"What Wang Zhizhou said, Lone also feels reasonable... After all, Li Yu had previously expressed his determination to resist the Song Dynasty, and he only came to Wuping to borrow troops, and this time he directly sent envoys to Qingyuan to ask for money and food..."

"Not bad! Li Yu didn't borrow it this time, he was cheeky enough to reach out and ask for it! From Qingyuan to half of the national wealth, the minister left from Quanzhou satisfied, this time the formation of the Sanjiang Estuary, inevitably... It also wants me to Wuping national wealth! Wang Duan thought for a long time and replied to Zhou Baoquan.

"My Hunan land is not richer than Quanzhou businessmen and people, if the envoys of the Tang State open their mouths, there will be a lot of them, then the generals will kill the Tang envoys to show my Wuping attitude." Yang Shiwan heard that it was inevitable to let the Tang envoy enter Changsha Mansion, so he once again went out to hold a knife and reprimanded him.

"General Yang! It's easy for you to kill the Tang envoy with a knife in your hand, have you ever thought about the situation of the lord! The sect leader also knew that a few days ago, it was because of the audacity of Gao Jichong, the king of Nanping, that he killed the Tang envoy Chen Qiao in Jiangling, which caused Li Yu to cry and be angry, and in less than a day, he wiped out the three states of Nanping with strong soldiers and horses! Facing the scorching sun outside the city, Li Guanxiang, the secretary in charge, was frightened by Yang Shiwan and sweated profusely, and hurriedly took his hand and persuaded Zhou Baoquan.

"Li Xianggong is safe, although he is young... But... I also know that I can't cause the disaster of destroying the country! Solitary... Naturally, he would not kill the envoys of the Tang State without permission..."Perhaps he was frightened by the destruction of the entire Gao clan in Nanping, Zhou Baoquan also wiped the sweat on his forehead, after all, the extermination of the clan is not a trivial matter, Li Yu is also widely known to do what he says, and if he can destroy the entire Gao Jichong clan, he must also be able to destroy the entire Zhou clan of his own family.

"What kind of money does the Tang State want, the general doesn't know, if the general is not allowed to kill, then it is not impossible to frustrate the spirit of the envoys of the Tang State!" Yang Shiwan disagreed with Li Guanxiang's words, and once again stepped forward to face each other. "When the Tang State sends an envoy to enter the gate of Changsha City, let my son Yang Xingjian order the Tang envoy to remove his sword and remove his robe! It's good to teach this Tang envoy to understand that when he enters my Changsha Mansion, he doesn't dare to hold his Tang country's shelf! ”

"So... It's also possible! Kill its sharp spirit first, and you can also prevent the Tang envoy from thinking that my Changsha ministers are weak and can be bullied, and the lion opens his mouth! Langzhou Zhizhou Wang Duan said softly with his beard, and Zhou Baoquan on the side remained silent, and seemed to acquiesce in Yang Shiwan's behavior. At this time, Li Guanxiang gradually realized that the military generals of Wuping were full of vigor and extreme behavior, and the Wenchen had no real power, and after leaving the hall, he turned around and sighed heavily in the hall, "The Zhou family started from the military generals... It will also... Die to a general! ”

Let's say that after Li Guanxiang asked for orders to go to Sanjiangkou to seek peace with the Tang State, Yang Shiwan used a military order to let the defenders under the city of Changsha change their defenses, and the head of the defense was his son Yang Xingjian. After listening to his father Yang Shiwan's instructions, he raised his sword and looked down on the north, thinking that once the Tang envoy came here, he would definitely kill his sharp spirit.

Zhou Baoquan received the news that the Tang army was arrayed at the mouth of the three rivers, and immediately ordered Langzhou, Yuezhou, and Chenzhou not to take the initiative to attack, let alone cross the Jiangkou to fight a decisive battle with the Tang army, although Zhang Chongfu, the defender of Langzhou, was dissatisfied, but also knew that Zhou Baoquan was forced to do so, and the Tang army was sharp, and crossed the Lishui in less than a day, and went straight to the cottage, Shakou Pass and other places, although there were generals who wanted to lead the troops to recover the lost territory, but if Zhang Wenbiao did not lead the troops here, the defenders would be conquered by the Tang army sooner or later.

Although Zhou Baoquan ordered that all localities were not allowed to fight against Tang Qige, Li Guanxiang was deeply aware that Wuping was a general, and he had the courage and no strategy, and sooner or later he would cause trouble in Wuping, so he quickly rode to the north of Tanzhou, and just arrived at Yiyang Pass, he strictly ordered the defenders of Yiyang Pass not to raise swords, and he only took a group of followers to travel quickly to Sanjiangkou again.

That is to say, although the generals of Wuping were a little surprised that the Tang army captured the three passes at such a fast speed, they still had the will to fight at this time, but even Zhang Chongfu of Langzhou never thought that the commander of the Tang army in the north would be Lin Renzhao, one of the fierce generals of the Tang State, Lin Renzhao stood at the mouth of the Sanjiang River and released cruel words to the defenders in various places, Sanjiangkou is now the garrison of the Tang army, if everyone is dissatisfied, although they come to attack, if they want to return to Sanjiangkou, Lishui Pass, Shakou Pass and other places, then ask Zhou Baoquan to come to Sanjiangkou in person to negotiate.

"Father, the Changsha government has sent an envoy over, and my son has placed him outside the camp." The Tang Army was in the camp at the mouth of the three rivers, and Lin Yan entered the account and handed over to his father Lin Renzhao.

"This Wu Ping... It's also a lift! Lao Tzu is a rough man, but he doesn't have so much patience, if it's half a day late, Lao Tzu will have to negotiate with Wuping in Yuezhou again, since Zhou Baoquan is so anxious to talk, we don't need to put a shelf for him, let him enter the account! Lin Renzhao hesitated for a moment, and then replied in a loud voice.

After only a moment, the panicked Li Guanying trembled and entered the Tang army general's camp.

"It's not Li Guanxiang, the secretary of Changsha Mansion, who knocked on the Tang General!"

"No! If you want to kneel, you must go to Jinling and kneel with my son! I, Lin Renzhao, can't stand the kneeling of a civil servant! Lin Renzhao hurriedly helped Li Guanxiang up, if he wanted to say that he still had this idea of playing a prestige, but the courtesy of kneeling has always been good for the king, and he did not dare to overstep his authority, and Li Yu acted ruthlessly and decisively, if there were ears and eyes to Jinling, his knees might not be able to be saved.

"Your Excellency is General Lin Renzhao Lin? I had already heard ......" Li Guanxiang heard the name of this person, and slowly bowed his head to show his respect, but his words were interrupted by Lin Renzhao again.

"These long-admired words, there is no need to say them again! The old man really has something important to find your Zhou family's children, so let Zhou Baoquan come out to see me quickly! ”

"General Hui, my lord... Still in Changsha. ”

"Mr. Li, this... But I don't know how to lift..."Lin Renzhao's eyes were fierce, his teeth gritted out, and he stared at Li Guanxiang, and immediately frightened Li Guanxiang into weakness for a while, "General, don't be angry!" The ancestor of my family is now sick, and he can not rest assured that the young master is suffering from a leg disease, so he cannot travel long distances..."

Li Guanxiang saw that Lin Renzhao's expression became more and more gloomy, and he said nervously again, "I also teach the general to know that my Changsha Mansion has no grudge against the Tang State now, and I can't make any swords!" It can also accept the canonization of the Tang State, and... If Tang Guo has any requirements, just mention it! But as long as I can do it in Changsha Mansion, I will never refuse! ”

"Mr. Li is serious... Our Tang State sent troops for only one purpose, which was to resist the Song Dynasty in the future. ”

"It's... I am not stupid, and I dare to ask the general, whether I, Wuping, have blocked the road of the Tang State to resist the Song Dynasty. ”

As soon as Lin Renzhao's words came out, Li Guanxiang really couldn't understand it, and wondered in his heart that you Tang Guo has the ability to fight with the Song State, that is your own business, you fight your Song State, I Wuping cultivates my land, everyone has nothing to do with each other, your Tang State suddenly hit the door of my Wuping house, and it almost took Changsha Mansion, and made a sentence that the army pressed the border to resist the Song Dynasty.

"You and other literati are still shallow, in the future, when the Song State pacifies the Northern Han Dynasty, the army will definitely go south to attack my Tang Kingdom, and your young lord Zhou Baoquan is not worthy of the position, but my Tang Emperor does not want to get involved in your Wuping's family affairs! It's just that... Zhang Wenbiao in Hengzhou, Xiangnan, will be a disaster in the future! Lin Renzhao looked disdainful and said to Li Guanxiang again.

"What does that Tang mean..."

"Mr. Li, let the juniors solve the puzzles, Zhang Wenbiao wanted to seize the throne earlier, but he was forced down by Zhou Xingfeng, the ancestor of Wuping, to shrink to the south, at this time Zhou Xingfeng is critically ill, Zhang Wenbiao must have been planning to kill Zhou Baoquan and replace him!" Compared with his father Lin Renzhao, Lin Yan has a bit of humility, which also makes Li Guanxiang a little more relaxed.

"Zhang Wenbiao is indeed a wolf with ambitions, but... If Zhang Wenbiao rebels, our Wuping Northern Army will not be unstoppable. ”

"Mr. Li, I, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, am worried that Zhang Wenbiao will take advantage of Zhao Kuangyin's southward attack on the Tang Dynasty to start a rebellion! At that time, it will be a big deal, and Mr. Jiao will know that my Tang Kingdom has no intention of annexing Wuping, I just want to help your young master Zhou Baoquan stabilize Wuping first! At that time, my Tang Kingdom and Song Kingdom will have a decisive battle, and Wu Ping must also send 30,000 troops to help my Tang Kingdom! At this point, Lin Yan's sincerity, coupled with the closeness between his own actions, also made Li Guanxiang trust a lot.

"So... Tang Guo entered Wuping, did he want to make a deal with my Wuping? Li Guanxiang suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and asked again.

"What Mr. Li said is true, this matter is a transaction! I, Tang Guo, will help you quell the rebellion, and don't take any money, don't take any land, as long as the Zhou family promises, that is, in the future, I will join hands with my Tang Dynasty to fight the Song Dynasty, and you can't have two hearts! Lin Yan also bowed his head and said frankly.

"That being the case! Also invite General Lin in... No, please General Lin send an envoy to my Changsha Mansion to make a clear statement to my young master! Even if we are allies, we must not be angry! General Lin also needs to know that the young master of my family is not putting on a show, but... But there is an inconvenience. Li Guanxiang's face was happy, and he asked Lin Renzhao for his life, his attitude was sincere, and his actions were respectful.

"I, Tang Guo, am not here to take advantage of the fire! You Wu Ping are willing to believe in my Tang Kingdom, and my Tang Kingdom is naturally not unreasonable, Mr. Li will be at ease, wait for the old man to explain, and personally enter Changsha Mansion with you to see Zhou Baoquan! Lin Renzhao instantly sighed in his heart, if you want to talk about the basket people, you have to have an honest person to come to the basket, Lin Yan's words are easy-going, and in a few words, Li Guanxiang's basket is full of joy.

It's just that Li Guanxiang at this moment is full of joy, and Lin Renzhao is ecstatic in his heart at the moment, Tang Guo must not be as Lin Yan said, the army is pressed and does not take any good intentions to give you Wuping to quell the chaos, according to Li Yu's temperament, it is impossible to give Wuping this injustice, and now Sanjiangkou, Shakou Pass, and the Tang army in the three places of the cottage will get a hundred stone of grain for the eclipse.
