Chapter 70 The Lord of the Tang Dynasty was in a hurry to order troops.
The north wind is blowing, the cold night is cold, and it invades the body and bones. The night sky above the Tang Palace is as dark as a black curtain, with almost no light. The sky seems to be sinking, the clouds are fluctuating, and behind the black curtain there seems to be a giant beast with teeth and claws, open and bloody
Big mouth...
In the main hall of the Tang Palace, the important ministers of the Southern Tang Dynasty gathered together, and the atmosphere was gloomy. Both the North and the Jianghuai Group looked serious. The national crisis was definitely not a good thing for them, high-ranking officials and nobles who had enjoyed the prosperity and benefits of the Tang Dynasty for a long time.
.
Han Xizai sat aside, with a look of worry on his face. The thing he had always been worried about and urged to be on guard against had finally happened. Thinking that he had been ignored before, and his foresight was not taken seriously, until now, the Han army had done something for him.
It was proved, but at this moment, Han Xizai was not happy at all.
Li Jing did not sit down, but was wandering around in the hall in front of the ministers, walking in a hurry, muttering: "We are really calling! How dare the Northern Han Dynasty? They communicated with me as envoys before.
We have gone back and forth, and now we are going to war without declaring it. How can we behave like a great country? It is just like the habits of a jackal..."
"Your Majesty, it seems now that all previous interactions between the Northern Han Dynasty and our dynasty were all deceptions. Their greedy desire has long been focused on our land in Huainan, and they have united with Pingchu. They clearly want to use Chu land to seduce me and consume me.
The strength of our government affects the strength of our army." Han Xizai stood up and told Li Jing what he had "understood" in a short period of time. He guessed that Li Jing had not yet understood the circumstances.
"It's no wonder that before our army marched westward to Pingchu, the Han army didn't move at all. But now Chu is in chaos, and the Han army has conquered me in the north of the Yangtze River. There is absolutely no such coincidence in the world. This is what the Northern Han Dynasty has done.
It’s a big game!”
"The jackal of the Central Plains harbors evil intentions and is not a son of man!" Hearing this, Li Jing scolded her again like a resentful woman.
"What about the Khitans? Are they not afraid of the Khitans?" Li Jing said suddenly.
Han Xizai shook his head and sighed: "Obviously, the situation in the north has changed. Han and Liao will no longer be able to fight. Otherwise, even if the Han Emperor is greedy and covets our land north of the Yangtze River, he will definitely not dare to go south with his army and start a rebellion.
Station!"
Many times, everything is clear, and when the Han army really moves south, all previous doubts are solved, everything disappears like a fog, and all doubts and speculations are supported.
"Hey..." She lamented heavily, and the sadness on Li Jing's face became even more intense.
At this time, an official in purple robes hurriedly entered, but it was Li Zhenggu, deputy envoy of the Tang Privy Council who had been transferred from Yuanzhou to Jinling. He held a document in his hand and presented it to Li Jing in person: "Your Majesty, this is the Han army.
The Han Emperor's edict was issued in Jiangbei, please ask me to express it!"
Regardless of any etiquette, Li Jing directly took it and opened it, moving his head up and down, and quickly read through it. Soon a look of shame and anger appeared on his face, and he said angrily: "The Lord of the Han Dynasty raised an unknown master, how dare you do this?"
To slander me, the Tang Dynasty, is to bully others too much, to bully others too much!"
"I have inherited the basic structure and governed the world. Only then should I be respectful to my court and cultivate virtues. Why do I want to raise troops and mobilize the masses to show off my martial arts! This is a country in chaos, and it is necessary to raise defiance. Stupid Er Huai
Dian, dare to resist the big gang, because the tomb of the Tang Dynasty was delayed, and the chaos caused by the Huang invaders, they became domineering and domineering for sixty years, stealing a place and assuming a false name..."
The "Edict on the Huaihe River" was written by Fan Zhi, the prime minister, and has more than 500 words in total. It clearly shows the majesty of the Han Dynasty, extremely contemptuous of the Southern Tang Dynasty, insulting the ancestors, and labeling them as thieves and bandits. This is opposite to
For someone from the Southern Tang Dynasty who was named Zhengshuo of the Tang Dynasty, it was no different than giving him a slap in the face, spitting on his face, and then stepping on the ground and rubbing him. It was an excessive insult.
When the Han Emperor's edict was circulated, the emperor and his ministers of the Southern Tang Dynasty immediately exploded into an uproar and cursed each other. No matter whether they were ashamed or angry in their hearts, this behavior was politically correct.
Sikong Sun Sheng stood up and said excitedly: "Your Majesty, the Han soldiers have arrived in front of the door. The matter has come to this. It is useless to say more. The Tang Dynasty should fight back immediately!"
Mentioning this, Li Jing nodded, still showing a loss of perspective on his face, and asked: "First Hunan, then Jiangbei, both sides are enemies, what should we do?"
Having said this, most of the officials of the Southern Tang Dynasty were silent. Just as the Northern Han Dynasty had to choose between the Northern Expedition and the Southern Expedition, the Southern Tang Dynasty also had to choose between aid to the west and relief to the north. Of course, their
Determination is easy, all you need is a little bit of brainpower.
This time, it was Feng Yansi who stood up and spoke first. In fact, after learning that the Northern Han Dynasty was invading the south, Feng Yansi was a little panicked. At this time, he had no intention of quarreling with Han Xizai, and he knew that things would get serious.
The Pingchu issue was strongly advocated by their party. Now it has been proved that it was indeed a conspiracy of the Northern Han Dynasty... When Min was pacified, it was just Wu Yue who came out to cause trouble, and the problem was still controllable. Now Pingchu and the Northern Han Dynasty are
When it pops out, it has fangs and a big mouth, the kind that wants to eat people.
However, the matter has come to this point, and there is no use regretting it. We can only try our best to save it. I saw Feng Yansi admonishing Li Jing: "Your Majesty, the Huainan states are the foundation of our dynasty, where the army and the people are located, and where the finance and taxation are based. There is absolutely no room for any mistakes."
.Shouzhou is an important town in Huainan. If it is lost, the situation in Jiangbei will inevitably deteriorate. The Han army suddenly launched an attack this time. It was obviously well prepared. I was afraid that He Gong would be difficult to defeat. The imperial court should immediately send troops to rescue him to relieve him.
Surround! We can’t take care of the Hunan side for the time being!”
"What Prime Minister Feng said is true! Hunan is a new land after all, and it is already in dilapidated condition. Now that there is something going on in Huainan, the court's energy should be concentrated on dealing with the Han army!" Rarely, Han Xizai spoke up to support Feng Yansi.
Just like the incident in Hunan during the day, Han Xizai also gave several suggestions in response to the Han army's southern invasion: "In this emergency, the court's first priority is to strictly order the states in Huaibei, especially Shou, Hao, Si, Chu
, Strictly wait for reinforcements, and find out the situation and trends of the Han army; secondly, stop all actions to aid Chu, mobilize troops and horses from Jiangnan, Jiangbei and Jinling, raise money and food, recruit civilians, and dispatch troops as soon as possible. Winter has just begun, Huaihe
The water has not yet frozen, which can be used to the advantage of our navy. At the same time, we must recruit warriors from home to fight against the Han soldiers. The land in Hunan involves a lot of troops, money and food for our army."
"Thirdly, in the land of Hunan, the imperial court has no power to look westward. It can observe the rules, but it cannot protect the army and abandon it. Those people in Lang's army are vulgar warriors who forget their loyalty when they see profit. They must be envoys from the Han Dynasty behind their backs.
, once our troops withdraw, with a little guidance, they can cause civil strife and not disturb our court!"
"Fourth, in front of Run, Chang, Xuan and other prefectures, be careful to prevent Wu Yue from invading from behind. This year Qian Hongchu is married to the Northern Han Dynasty, so there is no guarantee that he will not send troops from Su and Hu. The same goes for Ezhou, to prevent the Gao family in Jingnan
Taking advantage of the situation, Liu Renfan is a famous general, and as long as he is guarding it, there will be no serious problems. The Han army is invading south, Jingnan, and Wuyue. I am afraid that we do not want our country to defeat it, but we have to guard against it."
"Fifth, send envoys to contact Western Shu, Khitan and even the Li family of the Dingnan Army, and invite them to attack the Han from behind!"
"Han Qing is a true official of the country!" Li Jing calmed down, looked at Han Xizai, his expression became a little kinder, and he sighed from the heart, recalling the friendship of more than ten years in his mind. At the critical moment, it was Han who stood up for him.
Make plans.
Han Xizai, however, was not proud of Li Jing's praise. He raised his hands and said: "Now, I only hope that Jiangbei's general can defend it to the death, waiting for reinforcements from the imperial court."
"Who should be sent as commander to go north to rescue?" Li Jing asked.
When it came to military power, Feng Yansi winked at Wei Cen, and Wei Cen stepped forward and suggested: "Your Majesty, Shenwu Commander Liu Yanzhen is from a famous family. He is good at riding and shooting, and is both wise and courageous. He can use troops to govern the people. He can be regarded as a general."
Great Wall!"
After listening to Wei Cen's words, Li Jing thought about it and had an impression of this person. He had always been praised by many officials in the court, and his talent and reputation were very good.
Han Xizai, who was standing by, heard this, but couldn't help but feel nervous. He was not very familiar with Liu Yanzhen, but he always felt that he was a bit of a celebrity.
Feeling uneasy, he spoke immediately, but before he could speak, he heard that Li Jing had already spoken: "Deploy Liu Yanzhen, the commander of the Shenwu army, as the camp capital to the north, and lead an army of 30,000 Shenwu, Xiongwu, Tianwei, and Jingjiang to cross the river and go north to rescue.
Shouzhou."
"How many soldiers and horses are there in the Han army here? The garrison of Huainan provinces and the soldiers of various villages, plus 30,000 forbidden troops, and 780,000 to 80,000 troops guarding it. It's safe!" Li Jing looked around, as if he wanted to find some confidence.
His deviousness is clearly evident at this moment. How can he actually treat this as a war, a competition of military strength?
"Your Majesty!" After hearing this, Han Xizai couldn't help but warned Li Jing: "The army of Hao and Si must not be moved lightly. Zhang Quanyue, the military envoy of the Luzhou Baoxin Army, has always been steady and is close to Shouzhou.
We can use him to lead the army northward, contain the Han army, and look for opportunities to fight, waiting for the imperial troops. Gao Bi, the governor of Chuzhou, must strictly guard Qingliu Pass to prevent the Han army from sneak attacks and guard the passage for the northern reinforcements!"
"Just do it like this!" Li Jing agreed directly without thinking.
"Your Majesty, the invaders from the north invade the south, and border troubles arise suddenly. The court cannot lack prestigious ministers. Song Gong has always been wise and wise. He has been in Hongzhou for many years. Do you want to call him back to the court for consultation?" Before leaving the late court, Feng Yansi carefully asked
suggested.
He couldn't stand it any longer and wanted to recall Song Qiqiu, another big boss in the party. Otherwise, looking at the situation in the court tonight, the Northerners would be strong.
Li Jing frowned, looked at Feng Yansi who was full of reverence, thought for a moment, waved his hand and said: "I appointed the Duke of Wei as Grand Master, joined the Duke of Chu, and returned to the court to conspire against each other!"
"Your Majesty is wise!" Seeing that Li Jing agreed to his request, Feng Yansi breathed a sigh of relief and bowed.
