Li Congshan sighed and said with a wry smile: "The military department will start to assemble troops today, and it will go out in ten days." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info" Xiao Han sneered: "The Great Song Dynasty is not as good as Nanping and Wuping, now that the two countries have just been lowered, they don't know how to recuperate the troops, but they will start a war privately, the Great Song Dynasty will definitely send elite troops to resist, not only that, Wu Yue Qian's clan will definitely send troops, and even Chen Hongjin and the Southern Han Liu clan in Zhangquan Erzhou will not miss the opportunity, and they will definitely take the opportunity to attack our border under the instruction of the Zhao clan, let me ask you that the Tang army is invincible, can you resist the wolves?"

Li Congshan said with a pale face: "This king persuaded the imperial brother in this way, but the imperial brother insisted on not listening, and he must be ashamed of the first king." Now that the decree has been given, what is it to do?"

Xiao Han pondered for a while and said: "It is understandable that the courtiers were excited for a while, but Li Yu did this, but it was a move to set himself on fire. For today's plan, the only way to start with the minister, Yan Xu and Tang Yue as prime ministers, dizzy for a while, when they wake up, they will be afraid, you can visit them tomorrow, just say that you have received accurate information, the Southern Han, Wu Yue, and the Great Song Dynasty are coming to Huainan with 280,000 troops, to see how they respond. ”

Li Congshan shook his head and said, "What if the imperial brother insists on fighting?" Xiao Han sneered: "Then you will take your place and just complete the plan that you and I have already made." ”

Li Congshan's face changed drastically: "The imperial brother has been on guard against me for a long time, and he launched it in a hurry, I am afraid that it will be difficult to achieve a big thing." Xiao Han said with a smile: "I'll say it casually, don't take it seriously, everything is decided and then acted, now that your brothers are in harmony and the political situation in the court is gradually stabilizing, it is indeed not the time to launch." In fact, the best strategy is to take the harem route, although Emperor Zhou E never asks about political affairs, but I heard that Li Yu is obedient to her, you can send your princess to lobby her, both prongedly, to see if Li Yu can still go his own way?"

Li Congshan looked at the sky, and immediately got up and said: "Now the time is right, I will immediately visit the important ministers, and at the same time send the princess to visit the imperial sister-in-law to see if there is a turnaround." Xiao Han said with a smile: "In fact, there is still a road, the Great Song Qianlong personnel can send back the news of the Song army in time, with a three-pronged approach, Li Yu is not scared to pee, and he dares to send troops to fight for Huainan?"

In fact, Xiao Han wanted to see how the real combat power of the Southern Tang Dynasty was, and it was a wonderful opportunity to compete for Huainan. However, the Southern Tang Dynasty has been training for less than a year, and the experience is not sufficient, and the pacification of Wuping and Nanping has revealed many flaws, such as insufficient cooperation, poor implementation of military regulations, and looting of materials, which made Li Congshan and Xiao Han sigh and be disappointed.

The two met for the first time after the war and talked about rectifying the army, but they didn't expect that the Tang army would start a war again before Li Yu had rested, and this time they were going to fight against the powerful and invincible Great Song soldiers in the world, and the consequences could be imagined. Even if the final victory is won, there will be heavy casualties, and the future troubles are endless, not to mention the great loss of the Southern Tang Army, Dashu, Southern Han, and Wu Yue will also take advantage of the fire to rob, and the soldiers will be in trouble, and Jiangnan will fall into the abyss, and there will be no return.

The two had already decided, and Li Congshan left in a hurry and went to lobby the courtiers overnight. The princess also entered the palace at night to meet the imperial sister-in-law Zhou Ehuang, the queen heard that Princess Zheng came to see, and immediately went out of the palace to greet her, it happened that Li Yu was in the study and Feng Yansi to appreciate the poems, and the two concubines had a harmonious relationship, and sat down in the harem to discuss. The princess is also a smart person, after greeting the mention of sending troops, Emperor Zhou E has never cared about politics, listening to her try to talk about the terrible things against the Great Song Dynasty, frightened to the face, immediately agreed to Li Yu to return to the descendants for persuasion.

Xiao Han naturally rested in the Li Mansion. On the morning of the second day, as expected, Yan Xu, Tang Yue, Chen Qiao, Xu Xuan and other ministers changed their attitudes and began to tell Li Yuchen about the harm of sending troops, and followed the coach Sun Zhen to resign on the grounds of physical discomfort.

Li Yu's eyes wandered, obviously he had wavered, and at this moment, an eight-hundred-mile urgent express came from the north, and he was immediately sent to the court to dismantle it.

Li Yu took the letter, only glanced at it, and almost scared out of the, his hands trembled, and he almost threw it to the ground. Li Congshan stood at the head of the court class and hurriedly came over to ask. Li Yu said in a trembling voice: "The Great Song Dynasty sent Cao Bin, Wang Quanbin, Liu Guangyi, and Pan Mei to join the Wu and Yue army with a total of 300,000 troops to send troops to Huainan, saying that I want Jiangnan to withdraw from Nanping and Wuping, otherwise the soldiers will meet each other." ”

The courtiers all changed their faces, and immediately became a mess, everyone knew that although the Southern Tang Dynasty trained troops with the new method, the trained elite soldiers were only more than 100,000 people, and they had to defend the surrounding countries, and now the Great Song Dynasty sent 300,000 troops, and it was really difficult to resist with the military strength of the Southern Tang Dynasty.

Li Congshan immediately suggested that a special envoy be sent to explain the situation to the Great Song Dynasty, and at the same time, the elite naval troops should be deployed along the river for defense. The Great Song Dynasty naval army was not successful, as long as the Southern Tang Dynasty did not set foot on the land of Huainan, the Great Song Dynasty could not be attacked.

Li Yu was frightened, and immediately sent an envoy Xu Xuan to Huainan to negotiate, and sent Zhenhai Jiedu envoy Zheng Yanhua to lead an army to guard the Yangtze River. Everything was arranged, Xu Xuan went north, and after a few days, the news came back, stating that the Song army adopted the strategy of attacking the east and attacking the west, and only 50,000 or 60,000 people defended Huainan, and the rest of the men and horses were led by Wang Quanbin from Fengzhou down the Jialing River to start the battle of exterminating Shu.

Li Yu had to report the great news, Shu has its own Shu Dao natural danger, and it is not easy for the Great Song Dynasty to attack Chengdu, and the Great Song Dynasty sent troops to Western Shu, which also relieved his worries. The heart of retracting Huainan also faded, and he went back to continue to study poetry, calligraphy and painting.

When Xiao Han went north with Xu Xuan, he had already taken Murong Qiuyu and Li Yueying to the north, and went west to the border of Junzhou through Huainan all the way.

Xiao Han returned to the mountain again and saw that all the temples had been built, and the momentum was magnificent, and he had to fight with the future generations. In this era, there is no cutting corners, the main hall is paved with bluestone, the top is covered with golden Liuliu, and countless bells are hung on the four walls, which jingle in the wind, and are pleasant to the ear.

Xiao Han sighed for a long time, and under Ye Zixuan's guidance, he checked the palaces one by one, and couldn't help but praise it, praising the majesty of the palace on the one hand, and praising Ye Zixuan for her hard work with everything, and praised a newlywed young woman to make her jade face red.

Then back to the council hall, all the middle-level leaders gathered and listened to Xiao Han talk about the expedition with the Tang Army. Li Yueying has never been interested in this, and she quarrels with the seven sons of Wudang, talking and laughing, and having fun, but no one dares to step forward to stop her.

Xiao Han saw that she was happy, so he naturally wouldn't spoil her and let her play and laugh there. Just asked Murong Qiuyu to invite them outside to play.

Meng Wanxi is not a subordinate of Wudang, so she can only stay outside, and when she saw Li Yueying coming out with her seventh son, she immediately smiled and said: "I know that Xiao Han will not allow you to make trouble, if it weren't for feeling sorry for your sister, I would have beaten your ass." Bai Xiaoqi said happily: "As long as my sister is happy, my master will be happy, so he won't beat us." ”

Everyone in the hall heard the conversation outside the door and laughed together. Murong Qiuyu closed the door of the hall and sat back beside Xiao Han. Xiao Han glanced at her and said with a smile: "Everyone has worked hard for the past few months, and now there are a few things that need to be solved, you can discuss them." ”

Then say it one by one, the first thing is to send people to Putuo Mountain in the South China Sea to take over Wudang, and you can't lose Wudang in the South China Sea because of the Wudang faction in the Central Plains. Now Chu Tianshu is sitting in Tokyo to take care of the business, Bai Jiuxiao and Sima An are responsible for teaching the seven sons and defending Wudang, the four elders of Wudang can't get away except for Xiao Han, and none of the four masters of Wudang are willing to sit in the south, so they have been arguing for a long time without any result.

Xiao Han is also a little troubled, although his Nanhai Wudang didn't cost much money, it is also a foundation, and it is a good memory of him and Li Yueying, Murong Qiuyu, and Li Yueying to create a foundation together, and nothing can be wasted.

Seeing that everyone was in a dilemma, Li Yuexuan hesitated for a while, and finally stood up and said: "Although my martial arts are low, I am willing to take on this important task for me, as long as the head of the family agrees, I can take people to Putuo to protect Wudang." ”

Xiao Han was overjoyed, these old men of the original Jiuhua faction followed him all the way, and they didn't enjoy much welfare, because their martial arts were low, and they looked down on them in their hearts, so they did some inconsequential work for a long time.

Seeing that Li Yuexuan volunteered to go to the South China Sea to protect Wudang, Xiao Han sighed for a long time and said: "Seeing heroes in danger, Bandang knows loyal ministers, Minister Li can take the initiative to share the worries of the gang, and he is really a model for my Wudang faction." After a while, Xiao Han instructed Li Yuexuan to go to Tokyo first and bring Tian Chengzhi, Ye Qingshu, and Ye Fei together, and the top priority after arriving there was to marry the three of them.

The request was quite new, and everyone was surprised. Xiao Han instructed Ye Zixuan to take out 200 taels of silver and hand it over to Li Yuexuan, and give another 200 taels to the three of them for marrying.

Li Yuexuan immediately agreed to sit down, and Xiao Han continued to say the second thing. Now the Wudang faction deserves its name, return to Wudang Mountain to build a faction, the demon sect is far away from Western Shu, and the Great Song Dynasty wants to destroy Shu, even if they are unlucky, there will be no trouble for a while, the world's rivers and lakes have been briefly peaceful, Xiao Han proposed to hold a grand ceremony to improve the popularity of the Wudang faction.

Ye Zixuan immediately objected, saying that the finances could not make ends meet, and he had already lost 10,000 taels, and now he had no money to hold a ceremony at all.

She was the Minister of Finance, and Xiao Han had expected her to object, so he just smiled and said nothing. Although everything is in favor of holding a ceremony, it is also worried about money. The hall masters naturally agreed, and Xiao Han saw that most people agreed, so he immediately smiled and said: "Minister Ye don't worry, the silver is not enough, naturally someone will send it up the mountain, you only scatter flowers, not enough to me." ”

Ye Zixuan said angrily: "You are not the God of Wealth, where did you conjure up the silver?" Xiao Han laughed and said: "Don't say it, this head is the God of Wealth, since someone comes to curry favor, he will receive 30,000 taels of silver and 3,000 brocade cloths in less than three days, and Minister Ye is waiting to receive it." ”

Everyone was overjoyed, and Ye Zixuan also came to her senses, and smiled like a flower: "As long as you have money, you can toss it as you want." Everyone laughed, Xiao Han followed and ordered all the members of the Wudang faction to reward ten taels of silver, and the disciples of Qinglongtang to reward fifteen taels of silver, although it was not much, everyone was still very happy.

After the deliberations are over, everything is done and Ye Zixuan is responsible for handling this matter. Everyone came out of the hall, went back to their own houses, and did their own things. Xiao Han was led by Ye Zixuan to the three-story building specially built for him and Li Yueying in the north, Xiao Han looked at the bustling three-story building in a daze, and couldn't help blurting out: "Corruption." ”
