"Grandma, the Song army is outside the city, and there are only a few people. Why don't we fight out of the city and defeat them in one fell swoop!"

In Lizhou City, a general complained that since Yang Shifu led his troops to support, they had a lot of confidence. After all, the Song army had only 10,000 people, while they had 30,000 people.

The deputy general next to him looked around and whispered: "Didn't you even see this? The three generals are obviously preserving their strength. Zhang Wenbiao rebelled. Now there is no leader in Hunan. No one stipulates that this governor must be done by his surname Zhang!"

The general was speechless when he heard this. He originally thought that Zhang Wenbiao could control the situation, but who thought that the arrival of the Song army would make the situation complicated.

Zhang Wenbiao guessed this situation, but he had no choice. This is the case in Lizhou and the same in Sanjiangkou. Zhang Wenfu also stopped him and refused to attack.

Liu Tingrang had not noticed such a subtle change at this time. He was still wary of Wuping's counterattack, so he couldn't sleep well every day.

"Where are the reinforcements from the court? It should be time."

"Return to the general, the imperial army is still thirty miles away from us and will arrive soon."

Liu Tingrang breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this. As soon as reinforcements arrived, he could let go!

"Damn it, Zhang Wenbiao reacted quickly enough. I don't know how he convinced Zhang and Yang. If they united, it would be really troublesome to fight!"

Liu Tingrang didn't know what was going on there, but both generals appeared but Zhang Wenbiao was not seen, which shows that Zhang Wenbiao was likely to take over Zhou Baoquan's position.

In Langzhou City, Zhang Wenbiao was writing a letter to the Southern Tang, hoping that the Southern Tang could send support. The intention of the Song State was obvious. However, if Wuping was destroyed, no one in the world would be the opponent of the Song Dynasty.

When Wang Quanbin's army arrived, Li Yu also received the letter. Zhang Wenbiao said it very clearly in the letter, and Li Yu also knew the truth that the lips were dead and the teeth were cold.

But Guo Hao left a deep impression on him. He really didn't have the courage to go against Guo Hao. Now Guo Hao is so powerful that he is afraid.

"Husband, what's wrong with you? Cough cough..."

"Ehuang, why are you getting up? Your illness has not yet recovered."

"I'm fine, come and see my husband. I heard that the war has started in the west, and Wu Ping may not be able to escape the fate of being destroyed. Cough cough..."

"Hey, I know it will be the result, but I don't want to see this result. Zhang Wenbiao wrote to ask me for help and asked me to send troops to help. Do you think I want to send troops?"

When Zhou Ehuang heard that he wanted Li Yu to send troops, he subconsciously wanted to shake his head, but he saw the unwillingness in Li Yu's eyes and swallowed it back when he spoke.

"No matter what decision you make, I support you. Even if I die, I will die before you!"

As soon as these words were said, Li Yu was greatly moved and hugged Zhou Ehuang into his arms, as if the beauty in his arms had given him courage.

"Come on, I'll send a command to deploy Yang Shou, Sun Zhen, the chief of the military commander of the horse and military commander, and lead 20,000 troops to march westward to support Wuping..."

In the end, Li Yu decided to send troops, which Guo Hao did not expect. The joining of the Southern Tang represents the full war between the South and the South. Now he will mobilize 70% of the troops in the country to go to war with the two countries!

...

Bianliang, the imperial palace.

Bang, Guo Hao threw the report on the table. He didn't expect Li Yu to send troops, which obviously did not take him seriously.

"Come on, send an envoy to ask Li Yu to enter the court. I will give him another chance. If he doesn't come, don't blame me for being rude!"

With the addition of Southern Tang, Wu Ping was confident, and the originally clear situation suddenly became uncertain.

Ten days later, Li Yu rejected Guo Hao on the grounds of being sick. Guo Hao was completely angry and resigned that Li Yu refused to come to the court. He sent more than 100,000 troops and advanced three directions to attack the Southern Tang Dynasty!

Qian Chu, the King of Wuyue, was appointed as the commander of the camp in the southeast of Shengzhou. He led tens of thousands of troops from Hangzhou to the north to support him, and sent the Song general Ding Deyu to supervise his army.

Cao Bin from the middle road and the governor Pan Mei led a 100,000 naval and army troops from Jiangling to advance east along the Yangtze River.

Wang Ming from the West Road was the Chi, Yuejiang Road inspector, Zhanzhaodu was deployed to restrain the Tang army in the south of Hukou and ensure the main force's advance eastward advance.

Wuping sent Zhao Kuangyin to take charge of the war in Hunan, while Guo Hao planned to handle some matters in the court and supervise the battle himself!

The 300,000 troops are all in the south, and Guo Hao is really here this time.

In June of the third year of Jianlong, the Song army captured Lizhou with the benefit of cannons, and Yuezhou was also captured. Two large armies attacked Langzhou, the Wuping capital, and captured Zhang Congfu and Yang Shifu.

Sixty thousand soldiers were approaching the city of Langzhou, and Zhang Wenbiao had only 40,000 soldiers. As for the reinforcements from the Southern Tang Dynasty, they had long been transferred back to protect themselves by Li Yu.

In July, Zhao Kuangyin captured Langzhou, Zhang Wenbiao drew his sword and committed suicide. The Song army quickly went south to control the situation, and Wuping was destroyed.

At the same time, in order to protect himself, Li Yu surrendered and secretly prepared for war. While sending envoys to Song to request a ban, he deployed his troops at key points in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River to prevent the Song army from attacking.

Guo Haozhi was unifying Jiangnan, and remembered Zhao Kuangyin's words, "Where can you let others snore while lying beside the bed?" He simply did not do anything and unified Jiangnan in one fell swoop.

In August, it was ordered to build a large ship and several Yellow Heilong warships in Jinghu for the purpose of erecting the Yangtze River pontoon bridge.

On October 18, Cao Bin's troops headed east along the north bank of the river and ordered Bazuo to lead the ship to follow up.

The Southern Tang army mistakenly made the Song army a routine tour of the river without intercepting it, causing Cao Bin's army to pass through Hukou smoothly. On the 25th, Cao Bin led his army to suddenly attack Zhanxiakou Village.

On the fifth day of the leap 10th month, he easily defeated Chizhou. On the 13th, he defeated a unit of the Southern Tang Army in Tongling and obtained more than 200 warships.

In the end, Yu Caishiji defeated more than 20,000 troops from the Southern Tang Dynasty, captured Yang Shou, the deputy commander of the Cavalry and Infantry Army, and more than 1,000 troops from Sun Zhen, the chief of the military commander of the horse and horses, and seized the key pass.

He then ordered Hao Shourong to lead his troops to connect the craftsmen across the river at Caishijijiao to ensure that the follow-up troops cross the river.

Upon hearing the news, Li Yu urgently sent Zhenhai Jiedushi Zheng Yanhua to lead 10,000 naval troops and Du Zhen, the Marquis of Yu of Tiande, to lead 10,000 infantrymen to block the attack. He encountered the Song army and was defeated in Xinzhai.

Guo Hao personally supervised the battle, and the war went smoothly. On November 15, the West Road attacked Ezhou, defeated more than 3,000 people from the Southern Tang Dynasty, and the East Road Army besieged Changzhou and captured Lichengzhai.

The fourth year of Jianlong, the eighth day of the first lunar month.

All the troops attacked from all directions, and the Huangzhou military commander Wu Ningqian and others crossed the Yangtze River and captured Fanshan Village, which is now west of Hubei Echeng.

The left wing of the camp, Tian Qinzuo, the chief minister of the capital, led his army to defeat Lishui, defeated more than 10,000 troops in the Southern Tang Dynasty, and killed his chief Li Xiong.

On the 17th, Cao Bin led a large army to attack Jiangning, the capital of Southern Tang. More than 100,000 troops from the Southern Tang Navy and Army were lined up to defend against the Qinhuai River and backed by Jiangning City.

In order to avoid losing the opportunity to fight, Pan Mei ordered the infantry and cavalry to attack without waiting for the ferry ships to be prepared.

Li Hanqiong, the commander of the Ma Army, also led his troops across the Qinhuai River, carried out a fire attack on the Southern Tang Water Village with large ship-borne reeds, annihilated tens of thousands of Southern Tang troops, and advanced to the city of Jiangning.

Soon after, the Southern Tang army counterattacked again, trying to go up the river and seize Caishifu Bridge. It was defeated by Pan Mei's army and Zheng Bin, the leader of the Shenwei Du Army, was captured.

On the 20th day of the first lunar month, Guo Hao ordered Li Fuyi, the transfer envoy from the west of Beijing, to transport the rations of Jinghu to Jiangning City to supply the Song army.

In May, the Song army occupied Yuanzhou, Bailuzhou, Jiangyin and other prefectures, and the Eastern Army also captured Changzhou. Wang Ming's troops were in Jiangzhou, Wuchang, defeated more than 10,000 Southern Tang troops and captured 500 warships.

The Song army besieged the city for several months. Li Yu knew that the situation was critical and dispatched Zhu Lingyun, the Duke of the Shenwei Army, to lead 100,000 troops from Hukou to aid. Zhu Lingyun was afraid that Wang Ming's army would cut off the food route from behind and dared not advance eastward.

The form of war was obviously unfavorable to the Southern Tang Dynasty. On the second day of June, Cao Bin's army defeated more than 20,000 soldiers of the Southern Tang army under Jiangning City and seized thousands of warships.

In August, Ding Deyu defeated 5,000 Southern Tang troops in Runzhou, and joined forces with the Wu and Yue troops to capture Runzhou City on the ninth day of the ninth month.

After Li Yu repeatedly urging, Zhu Lingyun led 150,000 troops in October, boarding a 100-meter-long raft and a large ship that could accommodate a thousand people out of the lake, moving eastward, trying to break the quarry cushion bridge.

At that time, the Yangtze River was shallow and the waterway was narrow, and large ships could not move in parallel. In addition, Wang Mingjun, who was stationed in Dushukou, erected mast-shaped wooden stakes by the river, causing the Zhu army to dare not advance rashly.

On the 21st, Zhu Lingyun was alone in a large ship to Wankou, but was intercepted by Liu Yu's troops, the commander of the Song camp, and then attacked with tinder oil, as if God was favoring the Song army to turn, and the fire burned, and the Zhu army collapsed without fighting.

During the melee, Zhu Lingyun was burned to death, Zhanzhaodu Yuhou Wang Hui and others were captured, and tens of thousands of weapons were seized by the Song army.

At this time, Li Yu finally realized that he was wrong, but unfortunately everything was too late and it was too late to regret it.
