After the Tang Dynasty in the south and the Ye in the north, after the two countries and the whole country were in the melee, they all entered the stage of their own cultivation.

The state of Ye and the Southern Tang Dynasty were similar, both countries were born on the periphery of the empire, and until now, they have experienced many wars on such a scale.

The war cost the people and money, and the people also complained, especially in the later national melee, whether it was the Ye State or the Southern Tang Dynasty, they did not survive in it.

So in the future, the two countries did not provoke disputes, one south and one north, and it seemed that they could be quiet forever.

But everyone knows that there will not be two masters in this world, and this master will never be Ji Hao, the son of heaven, and the final lord of the world will be produced in the two of Ye King Zhao Kuanyi or Tang King Wang Dantian.

But who it is, no one can guess.

And the war between the two countries, returning to its original origin, was also provoked by the Southern Tang side.

In the fifteenth year of Zhengyang, the Southern Tang Dynasty took the lead in waging war with the Later Song Dynasty, and the Later Song Dynasty, as a long-term ally of the Ye State, or as a unified reason for war, the Ye State had to fight.

Zhao Kuan, the king of Ye, worshiped Chu Yujia as a general, led the Northwest Army of 150,000, and the Ye army of 200,000 rushed to aid the Later Song Dynasty.

On the Southern Tang side, Pu Chengshuang was the general, leading 300,000 in the south and 200,000 in Yu Yun's army to invade the Later Song Dynasty.

The contest between the two great powers also began.

And how difficult the conditions of the war were, and how tragic the war was, are clear only to those who really participated.

In this war, the Northwest Army can almost be said to have no advantage, because there are even more mountains and hills in the Later Song Dynasty than in the former Shu, and the light cavalry of the Northwest Army cannot play an advantage at all in the war.

Even if the Northwest Army's Modao Heavy Armored Cavalry has grown to 10,000 now, Chu Yujia does not dare to make this big gamble with Pu Chengshuang.

The battle lasted for more than two years, and the battle was extremely difficult, with countless casualties among the soldiers at the front.

Finally, according to Ye Guo's own statistics, within two years, there were high-level generals such as Yang Renqi and Yan Tianrui who died on the battlefield in the Northwest Army alone, and middle-level generals such as Ben Le and Liao Hao were also killed or wounded, and more than 50,000 soldiers were killed.

Of course, the Ye State suffered heavy losses, and the Southern Tang Dynasty did not take advantage, and their casualties were equally huge.

It can be said that this battle was a catastrophe for the Ye Kingdom, for the Southern Tang Dynasty, and even for the Later Song Dynasty, which finally fell to the country.

The battle ahead was unfavorable, the advance was slow, and even in the end it had become a stalemate, and Zhao Kuan had no choice but to lead the army again to help the northern battlefield.

As a result, he himself led his army to the battlefield, but still could not turn the situation around, but fell into a deeper quagmire.

Moreover, in a war, Zhao Kuan and Chu Yujia had a disagreement, and they insisted on leading the army to advance, and almost had no intention of fighting.

Chu Yujia had to send Yan Jusheng Guang two escort generals to help, and in the end Zhao Kuan was rescued, but these two escort generals who had followed him for many years also fell.

This battle almost completely destroyed the fighting spirit of the Ye army, even the Northwest Army had no intention of fighting, and the soldiers only wanted to return to their hometown as soon as possible.

Ye Jun, who had lost his fighting spirit, was like a tiger with teeth and claws pulled out, and he no longer had any advantage against Yu Yunjun.

This battle has been fought so far, the Ye army has become the end of the crossbow, and similarly, the Southern Tang Dynasty is also exhausted, Wang Dantian had to send envoys to the Ye army to promise to ask Zhao Kuan for peace.

During the peace talks between the two sides, Zhao Kuan's attitude was still tough, and in the end, he forced the Southern Tang Dynasty to cede the land of the three counties to Ye Guo, which brought the war to an end.

This was the First Ye-Tang War.

The second Ye-Tang War was provoked by the Southern Tang Dynasty, and after the cession to the three counties of the Ye State, the Southern Tang Dynasty has always considered this matter a great shame, and the second Ye-Tang War broke out due to the invasion of the three counties that were ceded by the Southern **.

For this war, Zhao Kuan still appointed Chu Yujia as the commander and sent troops to resist Nan**.

The early days of the Second Ye-Tang War were not smooth, and Chu Yujia and Pu Chengshuang, the two old enemies on the battlefield, had their own victories and defeats, and the war had been in a state of stalemate.

At this time, people in Ye State generally did not support this war, thinking that Ye State should not have forcibly occupied the three counties of the Southern Tang Dynasty, and should return it to others, and continue to make friends with the Southern Tang Dynasty to maintain peace in the world.

In the case of unfavorable operations in front and no domestic support, Zhao Kuan also felt that his prestige had been greatly affected, and if he wanted to save his prestige and face, this battle must be won, and it must be a quick victory.

Chu Yujia and Pu Chengshuang both knew each other too well, and it was almost impossible to expect Chu Yujia to defeat Pu Chengshuang.

But in the territory of Ye State, who else can compete with Pu Chengshuang except Chu Yujia?

I'm afraid that there won't be a single one in the entire court who can wrestle with Chu Yujia, let alone fight against Pu Chengshuang.

In the end, it was Meng Feihang who came up with a plan to ask Zhao Kuan to ask for help from the generals who had been defeated and captured by Chu Yujia before.

In desperation, Zhao Kuan could only listen to Meng Feihang's advice and set his sights on the generals who had been defeated by Chu Yujia.

But these generals were all defeated by Chu Yujia, he went to find it, who could be willing?

It only works if Chu Yujia lowers his body to beg.

In the end, Chu Yujia also returned to Yueling City at the suggestion of Meng Feihang and found Dong Haoyu, who had been under house arrest for several years.

After Chu Yujia and Tao Beisheng said again, Dong Haoyu also gave face and promised to go out of the mountain to help Chu Yujia.

But it was only to help Chu Yujia, not to help Ye Guo.

Since then, Dong Haoyu led the Second Route Army of Ye Guo to aid the southern battlefield, and in the mutual battle with Chu Yujia, the two have already understood each other, so in the war, the two cooperate quite tacitly.

After several successive victories, the whole army of Ye State was greatly inspired, and Chu Yujia and Dong Haoyu also seized the opportunity to defeat Pu Chengshuang in the southern battlefield in a row and expelled him from the territory of Ye State in one fell swoop.

Then the two of them worked together to kill the Yangtze River and fought three battles with the South ** in the territory of the Southern Tang Dynasty.

No matter how strong Pu Chengshuang is, it is still difficult to use his fists in the fourth hand, and the final outcome is that Nantang is defeated again and again.

There was no suspense about the ensuing battle.

After Pu Chengshuang stopped the decline, he led the army to set up a southern defense line and confronted Chu Yujia again.

In the end, the Southern Tang Dynasty also sent envoys to Yueling City again to negotiate peace.

This peace negotiation made the two countries live in peace for more than 20 years, and it was not until Zhao Kuan was middle-aged that he once again provoked the third war with the Southern Tang Dynasty.

This war Zhao Kuan did not fight for himself, but for his son.

Zhao Kuan's second son, among his children, is the most liked by him.

He also had the intention of abolishing the elders and establishing the young in his heart, so the third war against the Southern Tang Dynasty was completely a war to accumulate merits for his son.

It's just that when this war began, looking back, the people of the past were long gone......

Zhao Kuan raised his eyes and looked around, as if the people who fought side by side with him back then, and the people who fought with him, were already old.
