Even though it was the Shangyuan Festival, there were still imperial doctors on duty in the imperial city.
In order to verify his conjecture, Luo Youdu immediately invited the imperial doctor on duty at the Imperial Medical Office.
"Congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty. You are indeed very happy. Zhou Xiuyi is pregnant with a dragon heir. I am very happy to congratulate you..."
Luo Youdu hugged Chou Chou and looked at Zhe Saihua and Zhou Ehuang's belly, feeling very happy.
Originally, he was a little envious at Xuandemen when he saw that the people in the distance could enjoy the Lantern Festival freely.
As an emperor, I am really not as free as the people at this time.
At this time, I received the news that Emperor Zhou E was pregnant. Looking at the concubine beside me, I felt that God was still treating me well.
Guessing lantern riddles caused quite a stir in Bianjing.
This simple, educational and interesting little activity has aroused enthusiastic responses.
The ancients also knew how to capitalize on traffic, and someone had already started making lantern riddles and lanterns the next day.
People with dexterous thinking also began to compile puzzles. On the night of the 16th, many people followed the trend in Bianjing City, making the Shangyuan Festival end in a successful way.
Too many people are still not satisfied and want to extend the celebration time.
Within a few years, Luo Youdu had no such intention.
Three days is enough for this kind of nationwide carnival; any more would be too much.
On the first day after the Lantern Festival carnival, a piece of news came out: the lantern riddle guessing activity was proposed by Emperor Luo Youdu, and many of the riddles were created by him in order to have fun with the people.
Especially on the Lantern Festival on the 15th, most of the children's puzzle gifts were made and prepared by the Queen, Zhaoyuan and Xiuyi themselves, which caused quite a stir.
Those who don't like it say behind their backs: "Playing with things to lose one's ambition, regardless of priority, is unbecoming."
But he had to say something contrary to the truth: "Your Majesty loves the people like a son, and there is no one who can compare with him throughout the ages."
As for Zhao Pu, Lu Duoxun and others, they have long praised Luo Youdu as an unparalleled king in the sky and unparalleled in the earth.
But no matter what, Luo Youdu's move really created a wave of goodwill in the hearts of the people.
Just when Luo Youdu was about to take the opportunity to regain his presence, the war situation in the south changed slightly.
After the Shangyuan Festival, the Southern Han Dynasty sent troops directly from Guiyang to Hengyang and attacked Zhang Wenbiao's rear area.
Almost at the same time, the navy from the south of the Yangtze River also sent troops to Taizhou with the intention of attacking the Hailing Salt Farm.
Zhang Wenbiao's strength was limited, so he sent out all his troops to capture Changsha. Hengyang's rear defense was weak. Hengyang was taken advantage of by the Southern Han Dynasty, and Hengyang was already lost.
The person in charge of the Yangzhou defense line is Zhang Xiong, who is the most calm. Since the relationship with Jiangnan deteriorated, he has strengthened the defense. Even during the Lantern Festival, he led his son to guard the front line.
As soon as the Jiangnan Navy sent troops to Taizhou, Zhang Xiong had received the news and led his troops to attack. Relying on the advantage of the upper reaches, he repelled the Jiangnan Navy. He sank three fighting ships and the Sea Falcon, and took away more than ten ships.
After hearing the news, Luo Youdu immediately called Cao Bin and Pan Mei.
"Guohua, it's time to leave. Give Jiangnan a hard time. In addition, I will ask Lin Renzhao to cooperate with you and advance troops in two directions. Let Jiangnan know that a tiger's butt cannot be touched."
According to the original plan, Cao Bin went south in February. On the one hand, he was preparing food and supplies, and on the other hand, Luo Youdu had prepared a big surprise for Jiangnan, which needed to be prepared secretly.
But now that Jiangnan has been bullied to the point of being bullied, how can the Central Plains have the dignity to aspire to the world if they don’t fight back?
Luo Youdu immediately changed his mind and asked Cao Bin to lead his troops south in advance.
As for Lin Renzhao, Luo Youdu originally planned to rely on the Jiangnan navy to control the Jingnan river channel to capture Jingnan.
However, the progress in Jingnan is extremely smooth.
Zhang Wenbiao chose to surrender and helped the Central Plains capture Changsha, Shaoyang, Chenzhou and other places.
There is no need for naval forces in the next place. On the contrary, if there is a navy other than Zhang Xiong's navy in attacking Jiangnan, if there is a navy that can move down the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, it will give Jiangnan a fatal blow.
With Jiangnan and Southern Han joining forces, Luo Youdu immediately thought of whether Bashu would be together.
Although Meng Chang had been living in a state of drunkenness and dreaming for many years, the ruling and opposition parties in Shu were always filled with pride.
It's not impossible.
Luo Youdu did not want to be attacked from three sides, so he changed his intention and decided to destroy a country as quickly as possible.
Then deal with the other two countries...
A gang fight!
As the party being beaten by a group, the best way is to beat one of them to death first.
Only in this way can you free up your hands and feet to deal with other people.
Cao Bin received the order loudly: "I obey the order!"
Cao Bin excused himself and left, preparing to leave immediately.
Luo Youdu looked at Pan Mei and said, "How much do you know about the situation in Jingnan?"
Pan Mei bowed and responded: "I have always paid attention to the fact that Prime Minister Li stationed troops at Dongting Lake to contain Zhou Xingfeng's army. Zhang Wenbiao was allowed to attack the city and seize the territory, because he had the intention of releasing it first and then closing it."
Luo Youdu said: "Yes, but Zhang Wenbiao has a better understanding of the general situation than Zhou Xingfeng. He has sent someone to contact Li Shixiang, stating that he was forced to raise an army by Zhou Xingfeng. It was Zhou Xingfeng who killed Zhongliang, which led him to fight for his life.
He had no choice but to raise an army. He was willing to hand over all the cities he captured to the imperial court... This Jingnan was about to fall into a trap. The Han Kingdom in Lingnan sent troops to Hengzhou, which was like a fisherman picking peaches. This cannot be tolerated... I
Now I will appoint you as the envoy to Jingnan, and I will set off southward today."
"You hand over Zhou Xingfeng of Wuling to Li Chongjin and Zhang Wenbiao to deal with it. You go directly to capture Hengyang and capture Guiyang as well. Between Hengyang and Guizhou, make preparations and defend first. As for whether to attack Lingnan, wait for the order.
act.”
Luo Youdu did not rush to divide his troops into two groups to attack Jiangnan and Southern Han Dynasty. Instead, he asked Pan Mei to lead a small force to defend first, and then decided how to use troops when the situation became clear and the food and fodder count was completed.
Before Cao Bin and Pan Mei arrived at the front line.
The Jiangnan navy and the Yangzhou navy have fought against each other many times, with each winning and losing.
As for Jingnan, Li Chongjin responded promptly.
After learning that the Southern Han Dynasty suddenly sent troops, he immediately arranged for Lin Renzhao to go down the river and pass through the Xiang River to Hengshan Mountain.
The general of the Southern Han Dynasty planned to set up defenses on the banks of the Xiangshui River, but Lin Renzhao was superior.
This navy general is not only good at water, he is also good at woodland warfare.
He disembarked from the ship in the middle, led his troops and horses directly around to the rear of the Southern Han Army's position, and attacked the Southern Han Army from front to back with the navy. He defeated the Southern Han Army and recaptured Hengyang.
As a frontline commander, Li Chongjin's reaction was obviously one step faster than Luo Youdu in the rear.
Luo Youdu received the news from Li Chongjin's fast horse. Before he could be happy, another piece of news came.
Meng Chang died of illness!
Meng Xuanzhe, the crown prince of Sichuan and Sichuan, succeeded to the throne.
Luo Youdu received another statement here.
Meng Xuanzhe, with the support of Wang Zhaoyuan, forced Meng Chang to abdicate.
Meng Chang was so frightened that he fainted on the spot and died that night.
In this situation, Meng Xuanzhe died suddenly on the pretext that Meng Chang was drunk and injuring himself.
