September in the fourth year of Jianlong.

Li Yu also ordered the guard Du Yuhou Liu Cheng to lead his army to Runzhou to strengthen defense east of Jiangning.

Liu Cheng arrived in Runzhou and surrendered fearlessly. The Wu Yue army occupied Runzhou, and the situation in Jiangning became even more critical.

Li Yu hurriedly sent envoys to the Song army camp, begging Song Yanhe to stop the troops, and at the same time strictly ordered the Hukou defenders to enter the aid quickly.

On October 19, Zhu Lingyun led a reinforcement number 150,000 minutes to take a giant ship, and went east along the river to attempt to burn the quarry cushion bridge and lift the siege in Jiangning.

After Guo Hao learned about it, he secretly ordered Wang Mingjun, who was stationed in Dushukou, to erect long woods in Shazhou as sails.

Seeing this, Zhu Lingyun suspected to be an ambush and led his army into Ankou. He was ambushed by the Song army. The Southern Tang army set fire to attack the Song army. Because the wind direction suddenly changed, it was burned and destroyed.

The Song army took advantage of the situation and attacked fiercely. Zhu Lingyun was captured and the remaining troops were defeated and retreated to Hukou and annihilated.

In the lonely city in Jiangning, Li Yu sent another envoy to the camp to ask for a delayed army. Guo Hao refused to say "The world is a family, and how can others snore on the side of the bed?"

Facing the three-way attack of the Song army, Jiangning City was broken on November 27.

When they saw Li Yu again, both of them felt very unfamiliar. At this time, Guo Hao's anger had been vented, and all that was left was pitiful.

"Congjia, do you know that I actually wanted to regain Jiangnan for a long time, but because of the past relationship, I have never made up my mind.

You should know my character very well. I am not the kind of person who doesn’t miss the old love. Li Hongji was not killed by me at all. I don’t need to lie to you today!”

Guo Hao sat on the chair, Li Yu stood in front of him, like a child who made a mistake. Guo Hao didn't want to make things difficult for him, but he didn't allow threats to exist.

"I heard that you and Ehuang got married, but you are really not suitable to be an emperor. This time you did it right. It's a pity that your opponent is me, and Zhang Wenbiao is not a reliable partner, so you are not unfair to lose.

Now that things are coming, don’t think about the things that are gone. Take your wife and children to Bianliang and be a rich man!”

After Guo Hao said that, he turned around and left. He was actually a little tired. In the past two years, although he successfully unified Jiangnan, he also had all his family background.

Others would not know that because he started the war in advance, the Song Dynasty was already strong outside and the middle. The 300,000 army was like a monster, and was about to drink his blood.

Fortunately, the Jiangnan region is relatively wealthy and has a lot of food, but the court's deficit cannot be compensated by Jiangnan. If you don't think of a good solution, it will take at least three to five years for the Song Dynasty to restore its vitality!

Wuping and the Southern Tang Dynasty were recovered. Qian Hongchu saw the situation clearly, took the initiative to submit and chose to accept the land and return to the Song Dynasty!

At this time, the Song Dynasty had a momentum, but she did not dare to fight again. The Wu Yue Kingdom in the southeast corner was strong and had the resources to compete.

Qian Hongchu, the grandson of King Qian Liú of Wu Yue, followed the family motto of King Qian Liú of "Good work in the Central Plains and maintain unity". In order to protect the lives and property of the people from major losses and avoid misfortunes from being lost, he made a great abandonment - abolishing the throne of Wu Yue!

Respecting Guo as the emperor, leaving the family back to the general, and offering all the thirteen states, one army, eighty-six counties, fifty-six households, and 115,166 soldiers to the Song Dynasty!

This action moved Guo Hao very much, and at the same time filled the emptiness in Guo Hao's heart and made him feel at ease.

Today, only the Qingyuan Jiedushi and the Southern Han are left in the south. In the eyes of many people, Guo Hao is almost unifying the world, but he knows that the territory of China in later generations is much more than that.

...

When the troops returned to the camp, Guo Hao did not rush back. He sent someone to bring all his family over and planned to take them to travel to Jiangnan.

It was winter at this time, and the south was much warmer than the north. Before Qiunan and the others came, Guo Hao returned to the small village he had lived in. Unfortunately, the hut was gone.

When I revisited the old place and walked on the country road, the scenery in the south of the Yangtze River was still the same, but Guo Hao's mood was no longer the same as before. The five-year imperial career was enough to change a person.

On the Qinhuai River, Guo Hao was rafting and fishing. The influence of the war faded, and the surroundings were still singing and dancing. Guo Hao closed his eyes and snoring soon came. He was too tired during this period.

"Life has been endless from generation to generation, and the rivers and moons look similar every year..."

Just then, a singing came, Guo Hao opened his eyes, and Li Hui next to him immediately stood up.

"His Majesty……"

Li Hui felt that the song disturbed his rest, but Guo Hao raised his left hand and listened to the song with his ears.

"On there, let's go over and take a look!"

Following the direction of Guo Hao's finger, I saw a pleasure boat docking in the river, singing faintly, and after singing a few lines, the sound of the piano came out again.

Guo Hao's boat slowly approached the pleasure boat, and saw a girl sitting on the boat and a maid standing beside him. The faint fragrance made people feel energetic.

Seeing the girl, Guo Hao was a little stunning, with a beautiful appearance and a quiet and tranquil appearance. Only the word "national color" can be described.

Guo Hao stood at the bow of the boat and did not bother her. After playing the piano music, the girl raised her head and the two of them touched her eyes. The girl was like a frightened little beast and immediately lowered her head.

Seeing this, Guo Hao thought he was scared to others. He was about to apologize, but saw the girl blushing again and looking at Guo Hao curiously.

"I'm not attracted by the lady's singing, but I just feel it's so beautiful and pleasant, so I came to search for it unconsciously. If I have any trouble, please don't blame the girl."

Guo Hao bowed and gave a gift. The girl smiled shyly and said, "If you like it, please listen. If you don't play well, don't blame me."

"oh?"

The girl was originally polite, but Guo Hao thought she was inviting him, so he jumped onto the boat, which scared the girl.

"Young Master, you are..."

"Miss, don't be afraid. There is no malice in the future. It's just that you're closer and you can hear it more clearly!"

After saying that, Guo Hao looked back at Li Hui, and Li Hui also jumped over. Both of them were tall, which was not common in the south, so the girl was a little panicked.

Seeing that the girl was a little scared, Guo Hao smiled and said, "Miss, don't be afraid, we are not bad people. I'd better sing a song for the lady just now?"

When the girl heard Guo Hao wanted to sing, she was a little moved. She was originally a person who loved music, but naturally she would not refuse when she met like-minded people. She just saw Guo Hao not like a literati, so she looked at him with some doubts.

Feeling the girl's suspicious eyes, Guo Hao was speechless. The founding emperor of the Song Dynasty was actually despised by a girl.

Guo Hao smiled and shook his head, walked to the girl and said, "Miss, borrow the piano!"

The girl stood up and stood aside. Guo Hao sat down and took a deep breath, stretched out his hands and placed it on the guqin.

"Zheng..."

The sound of the piano sounded, and the girl's expression was a bit abnormal, because she heard that the song Guo Hao played was actually a song "Phoenix Seeking the Phoenix"!

At this time, Guo Hao focused on playing the piano. Since he ascended the throne, his piano skills have improved greatly. The reason why he played this song was just because it was relatively simple.

After playing the song, Guo Hao looked up at the girl. He wanted to say, don’t look down on others, I can also play the piano.

However, at this time, another piano sounded, and a pleasure boat came next to him at some point. A young man in white sat on it. In front of him was a guqin. His fingers flew up and down, showing his not only piano skills.

"Young Master, do you want me..."

When Li Hui found someone to make a fuss, he immediately asked Guo Hao whether to take action to drive him away. However, Guo Hao shook his head and listened to the other party's piano sound, it was obviously provoking.

"Look, it's Mr. Zhu!"

Not only did anyone shout, there were many people watching on the shore. Unexpectedly, the young man in white was still a celebrity, and Guo Hao's face suddenly turned dark.

"Young Master, there are many people leaning towards this side. Are we..."

Li Hui was worried about Guo Hao's safety, so he wanted to persuade him to leave, but Guo Hao was not a person who was afraid of trouble. The young master Zhu actually provoked him. How could he leave at this time?

"Tell us people, be careful. These people should not know my identity. If you find suspicious people, don't act rashly."

"yes!"

Guo Hao originally wanted to play music and show it in front of the beauty. Who would have thought that Cheng Yaojin would be able to kill halfway through, how could he bear it?

Mr. Zhu bowed to the girl and said, "I hope this song is given to the lady, I hope the lady likes it."
