When King Li Jingda of Qi received the imperial decree, the emperor's younger brother, the deputy marshal of the various military troops from the Southern Tang Dynasty, was having a banquet and having fun in the palace, holding a beautiful concubine to appreciate the most fashionable singing and dancing in Jiangnan.

Seeing that Liu Shaojian from the palace came to the mansion to announce the imperial edict, Li Jingda quickly stood up to greet him, but when he heard that Feng Yansi was the general of his military commander, his face suddenly became gloomy.

Li Jingda, the fourth son who was once given high hopes by Liebing, was indeed overestimated by Liebing's war, but he always maintained a spirit of serving the country on the battlefield. He was naturally happy to serve the army when he led the army to fight. As for the grudges he had with Feng Yansi, he had to start with the past.

Li Jingda was born in the fourth year of Shunyi in Yangwu (924). At that time, Li Bing was also an auxiliary minister of Yang Wu. It was a severe drought in the Jianghuai River and the people worked hard. It was a coincidence that historical records record that "after July, I saw rain and rain." When the rain fell from the sky, it happened to be the day Li Jingda was born. This auspicious sign made Li Bing very much love for this fourth son, and he also named him the nickname "Rain Master".

It can be said that it is born with a halo.

When Li Jingda was a little older, he grew up much taller and taller than other children, and his words and deeds were quite good at being a father, which made Li Bing respect him more and more. Until Li Bing received Zen and became emperor, he immediately appointed Jing Da as King Xin, and even later had the idea of ​​becoming an heir. However, because Song Qiqiu and Sun Sheng and others advised him that the order of the elders and children should not be chaotic, he gave up this idea.

Li Jingda did not seem to be dissatisfied with the fall of the throne. He always had a friendly and humble attitude towards his brothers and sisters, and he respected the elder brother of Emperor Li Jing.

But since Li Jing became the emperor, he was good at speculating on people's hearts. How could he be so slackened by Li Jingda's behavior just because of his slackenedness?

Until one time, the two brothers were traveling to the back garden of the palace together. When they were rafting in the pond, Li Jing was riding in a boat accidentally flipped over. At that time, Li Jingda was on another boat. Although she couldn't swim, she still resolutely jumped into the water and lifted Li Jing out of the water, and finally almost drowned herself.

Li Jing was moved and finally let go. After the story came out, the people were impressed by the loyalty and pureness of the King of Qi. So Li Jing began to let Li Jingda participate in the government affairs. After learning that the Crown Prince Li Jingsu was not interested in the country, he "concerned" to share his worries, and specially established the position of deputy marshal for the fourth brother Li Jingda to share the military power of the Crown Prince.

Since then, Li Jingda's power has begun to grow day by day, and it has even gradually become more powerful than the crown prince. Some ministers in the court, such as Feng Yansi, Chen Jue and others, have always supported the crown prince Li Jing, who has been soft-hearted, and then inherited the throne. So he tried his best to suppress him, and often secretly stumbling about the various memorials submitted by the Marshal's Mansion.

Li Jing often held banquets in the palace and summoned the royal family and close ministers to drink together. Of course, the Feng brothers and Chen Jue and others would not miss this good time. They often flatter and ugly, and sometimes they would laugh out loudly by the alcohol. Li Jingda was straightforward by nature. Seeing that Feng Yansi and others' actions could not bear to look at them, he scolded them loudly many times, and repeatedly advised Li Jing not to get close to these treacherous ministers.

Feng Yansi relied on the emperor's favor and not only did not restrain himself, but even boldly said some stupid empty words, saying that Li Jing's suggestion was his own suggestion to be the king of Li Jingda. In other words, Li Jingda's ability to be today is thanks to him.

The fuse originated from a banquet in the East Palace. That day, Feng Yansi pretended to be drunk and actually stroked Li Jingda's back and said loudly: "You can't forget my credit!"

A minister dared to offend the King of Qi. How could Li Jingda bear it? He was furious and went to the palace to meet Li Jing and asked to report to behead Feng Yansi. But how could Li Jing obey? He just tried to persuade him for a long time, and the matter ended up in the end.

So at every recreational banquet after that, as long as Feng Yansi and others were present, Li Jingda would make excuses of being unwell and never attend again.

Li Jingda and Feng Yansi, from then on, both of them were incompatible.

Now Li Jing issued an order to let Li Jingda take charge, and also sent Feng Yansi, the enemy. The King of Qi suddenly felt numb and was nervous. He didn't know that Feng Yansi would deliberately make any disgusting actions during the war.

The emperor's order was there, and even though Li Jingda had no choice, he dared not neglect. He quickly put on his armor and rode to Beiyuan to dispatch troops and generals, summoned 60,000 imperial guards from Jinling and nearby prefectures, and led his army to take a boat to set off along the waterway.

Unexpectedly, the enemy was particularly jealous when they met, and the dispute between the two was soon revealed.

Since the Southern Tang had already transferred all the most elite soldiers in the country to the Northern Expedition, and Li Jing was too urged to transfer troops to reinforcements, so the 60,000 troops in Li Jingda's hands, except for the 10,000 imperial guards who defended the capital, were still called elite troops, most of the other weak brigades that had not experienced war for a long time.

Li Jingda looked at the boat's scattered military appearance, even if she was full of confidence, she would be greatly reduced at this time.

After thinking about it for a while, in order to avoid the fatigue of the army's expedition, he decided to take advantage of the soldiers' energy to recover Luzhou first, and finally go north to join Liu Renzhan and Li Yuan's troops to attack Shouzhou together.

But Feng Yansi's idea was completely opposite. For him, this trip was a great opportunity to make new contributions and win back the favor of Emperor Li Jing. Li Jing did not care about past grudges and still ordered him to supervise the army. Maybe this was the intention.

The most important thing is that Liu Renzhan and Li Yuan are leading the army to fight on the front line. Although these two men have had a relationship with him, they have to admit that they are good players in their use. If they follow Li Jingda's strategy, the army will have to delay for several days before they can reach Shouzhou. If Liu and Li have quelled the rebellion by then, wouldn't their great contributions to seeing their hands be vain?

Feng Yansi became more anxious and anxious as he thought about it. On the one hand, he wanted to fly to Shouzhou as soon as possible, and on the other hand, he prayed in his heart that Liu Renzhan and Li Yuan would be the best to fail in the war.

So they pretended to be a military supervisor and had a big argument with Li Jingda. Li Jingda also pretended to be the King of Qi to suppress it. The two of them went all the way, but thanks to the generals' timely stopping, they almost started to take action.

It was not until seven days later that the army finally landed on the north shore of Chaohu Lake and began to set up camps to prepare for the siege. At this time, the two of them heard that Shouzhou, Guangzhou and other places had long been recovered by Liu Renzhan and Li Yuan, and the Luzhou City in front of them had also been replanted back to the banner of the Southern Tang Dynasty two days ago. The fast horses who were heading to Jinling to report the victory were on the way, and they couldn't help but sigh!

In the commander's tent, Li Jingda gently put down the report in his hand and sighed happily at the generals: "It is a blessing for the national dynasty to have two famous generals of Liu and Li in the Tang Dynasty!"

Peng Shigao, who was summoned to serve as the deputy general, has been turbulent in his heart for several months when he heard about Li Yuan's various achievements. This time, he has been rushing thousands of miles to quell the rebellion and establish such merits. I believe the emperor will reward him again.

Peng Shigao suddenly remembered the oaths of the two before leaving that day, and secretly clenched his fists, with an unconcealed excitement on his face.

"Since the rebellion is settled, I will decide that the army will immediately set up the army-"

"No!" Before Li Jingda finished speaking, Feng Yansi couldn't help but suddenly stood up to interrupt.

The generals who were in the joy of victory were confused when they heard this, and Li Jingda was not angry either. He just narrowed his eyes and replied jokingly: "What do the military supervisors want? The Shouzhou rebellion has been quelled. Why, can there be any rebels?"

Feng Yansi was speaking hastily, and his face was flushed at this moment. After a while, he focused his eyes and said, "That's right!"

"Oh? That king wants to ask the military supervisor, where are there any rebels?"

Feng Yansi seemed to have already had a countermeasure, and then shouted loudly: "Although the three states have been recovered, the rebellion has been settled, and people's hearts are unpredictable, so there are still remnants of rebels! Liu Renzhan and Li Yuan, the two envoys, must return to their respective garrisons. According to our military supervisor's view, our army should immediately go to the three states to rectify all matters and appease the people's hearts. Only when Your Majesty's order is issued can we return to the court!"

Li Jingda frowned and thought about it carefully. Although the person in front of him had a deep grudge with him, these words were not without reason.

So he coughed and ordered: "Peng Shigao and Zhu Yuan, please lead 10,000 troops to be stationed in Guangzhou, Luzhou!"

Peng Shigao and Zhu Yuan were both tiger generals, but they had no choice but to be frustrated in Jinling for a long time. At this time, their eyes flashed and they came out and said loudly: "The last general obeys the order!"

"The other generals will follow the king to lead the army to Shouzhou immediately!"

"I will obey the order!"

After the military order was issued, the generals hurriedly came out of the tent and went to reorganize the army. At this time, Li Jingda turned his head and asked slowly at Feng Yansi: "Will the military supervisor be satisfied?"
