One Piece of Song Dynasty

Li Qingzhao was rejoicing when she saw that he was more handsome than ever before. Suddenly, a group of crows flew over her head. Li Qingzhao suddenly had an ominous premonition, as if she knew she was about to lose her husband. She shouted with tears in her eyes: "What if Chizhou falls?" manage"

Zhao Mingcheng chased the boat and shouted: "Then you have to run to a crowded place as a last resort. Abandon the baggage first, and then the books, scrolls and ancient utensils."

Li Qingzhao asked: "Isn't it all thrown away?"

"In the end, just keep Zhao's magical post. You can throw away everything else except this." Zhao Mingcheng gradually fell behind and finally became a small white dot. Li Qingzhao nodded in tears at the bow of the boat, waving goodbye until Zhao Mingcheng's figure gradually blurred and disappeared.

Wan Yanchang set out from Yanjing before the beginning of autumn. Empress Dowager Wei knew that the Jin army's intention to go south was to occupy Jiangsu and Zhejiang, pursue Zhao Gou and destroy the Song Dynasty, and she felt extremely sad.

She also knew that Wan Yanchang originally disagreed with this expedition, and it was not even Jin Taizong's original intention, but now the most powerful person in Jinting was Zong Han of the Western Court of Taiyuan, and the emperor often even had to accommodate the junior Zong Han. As a result, in the recent imperial meeting, Zong Han stubbornly insisted on sending troops. The emperor had no choice but to win over Wan Yanchang and Wu Shu to fight against Zong Han. The court struggle between the two factions has begun to become public.

From the perspective of occupying the Central Plains, capturing Huaidian, and finally occupying Jiangnan and completing the ultimate goal of unifying China, there is no essential difference between the two factions. It is nothing more than a difference in the method of unification. As for the method of unification, the most cost-effective way is to make the Song Kingdom a vassal state of the Jin Kingdom through peace talks. But Zong Han's group had tasted the sweetness from the process of herding horses in Lianghe the year before last and Huaidian last year. The main reason is that only through constant wars can Zong Han's Western Court firmly control the growing power in its hands.

What worries Wan Yanchang the most is that his own Wushu sect is also resolute in fighting. Wu Shu proposed at the meeting that Zhao Gou was confronting me across the river in Jiankang. By the time I managed the Central Plains well, it would be too late to go south of the Yangtze River. Wan Yanchang objected to sending troops on the pretext that Zhao Gou had already reconciled with the Xixia Kingdom. If I went south, Zhang Jun from the northwest would send troops to contain our army. He thought he would persuade Wu Shu. Unexpectedly, Zong Han intervened and proposed to join forces and focus on one area. From the northwest, break through Shaanxi and enter Sichuan, and go down the river. The strategic concept of Jiangnan can be determined in one go.

Wan Yanchang couldn't help but secretly admire that Zong Han was really a military genius who abandoned the Jianghuai River and focused on the northwest. This seemingly strategic strategy of abandoning the near and looking for the far coincided with the strategy of the Three Kingdoms period when Wei wanted to conquer Wu and must first conquer Shu and then flatten the south of the Yangtze River. Moreover, if the Eastern Imperial Army enters the Western Imperial Court, they will definitely obey the Western Imperial Court's command, which will undoubtedly enhance Zong Han's strength.

But in the end Wu Shu did not agree to this plan, because he was not willing to be subordinated to others, and he also wanted to make meritorious deeds, so he finally decided to divide his troops into four groups, each fighting one side. Wan Yanchang had no choice but to emphasize that the Central Plains were thousands of miles away and the population was depleted. The people in the Central Plains must be returned to work on crops to restore vitality so that there would be no worries in the south. Emperor Taizong of the Jin Dynasty then issued an edict that those who were plundered as slaves in the Central Plains should be redeemed by their families.

Empress Dowager Wei knew that once this edict was issued, it would directly save the lives of millions of people in the Central Plains. This was entirely the result of Wan Yanchang. But Wan Yanchang still avoided seeing her before leaving. Empress Dowager Wei watched the Jin army go out for battle. Amidst the dusty and deafening sound of horse hooves, she bit her lip with a mixture of love and hate, her heart felt like a knife.

The news that the Jin soldiers were going south again soon reached Li Xin. Li Xin looked at the secret message in his hand and said excitedly: "The heat has finally arrived."

Liang Hongyu wondered: "Why this time?"

Li Xin replied: "Because this time will be the most dangerous moment for the Song Dynasty. Judging from the current news, it is very likely that the Jin army will cross the Yangtze River. This time will be our only chance to mutiny. If we miss it, If this happens, there will no longer be this opportunity to take over the Song Dynasty at the minimum cost."

Liang Hongyu shook her head and said, "The slave family still doesn't quite understand."

Li Xin smiled and said: "Haha, you will understand after a while."

Then Li Xin immediately summoned Ruan Xiaowu, Liu Fa and others. Li Xin took a secret letter and said to them: "Everyone, our opportunity to mutiny has come. This is also our only chance to take over the Song Dynasty at the minimum cost."

After everyone read the secret message, Liu Fa asked: "Judging from the current situation on both sides, the Jin Army will definitely cross the Yangtze River and enter Jiangnan this time. However, the terrain in Jiangnan is not suitable for Jin Army cavalry operations, but I don't know where the opportunity mentioned by the lord is." where"

Li Xin said: "Don't worry, you will know soon. From now on, the fifth general will allocate half of the ships of the transport fleet to stay on Xinghan Island on standby."

Ruan Xiaowu replied: "Yes, Lord."

Li Xin asked: "Wei Yuan, how many Dayu- ships do you have available for battle?"

Wei Yuan replied: "Your Majesty, ten ships can go into battle."

Li Xin nodded and said: "Okay, from now on the navy will enter a state of combat readiness, and a fleet of sixty Gonggong II and ten Dayu I will be on standby at any time."

Wei Yuan cupped his fists and said, "This is my order."

Li Xin then said: "Shuai Liu, we have also mobilized men from the infantry and cavalry from General Zhai and put them on combat readiness, ready for action at any time."

Liu Fa replied: "Yes, I understand."

Li Xin signaled: "Okay, please leave now."

Everyone left, but Liu Fa did not leave. Seeing that Liu Fa did not leave, Li Xin sighed and said: "Liu Shuai, regarding your son, I can only say sorry."

Just when Li Xing was about to explain Liu Zhengyan's matter, Liu Fa waved his hand and said, "No, my lord, I am not here for this matter. It is his fate that Dalang ends up like this. He cannot blame others."

Li Xin pretended to be confused and said: "What about Liu Shuai?"

Liu Fa replied: "My lord, I want to personally participate in this operation. I hope your lord agrees."

Li Xin asked: "Liu Shuai, have you thought about it? I remember that Liu Shuai was unwilling to fight with him. Although there may not be a big battle this time, he might also fight with Liu Shuai's old friend. "

Liu Fa cupped his fists and said: "Liu Guangshi, Zhang Jun and others are not considered old friends of X, nor do I take them seriously. My lord, I have thought about it, and my lord will give the order."

Li Xin nodded and said: "Okay, as long as Liu Shuai is so determined, with Liu Shuai's help, suppressing those Western generals will not be a problem."

After leaving the city guard's house, Zheyan asked: "Zichong, Yongxi, Liangsi, do you know what medicines are sold in the lord's gourd? From the list of secret letters, I really don't see where the opportunity is."

Ma Kuo shook his head and said, "I don't know either, but my lord never fights an unprepared battle. I think it will become clear after a while."
