General Cai said: "As far as I know, the Southern Tang Dynasty has just received the news of the death of Emperor Shizong, and is preparing to send 50,000 troops to attack the Zhou Dynasty together with the Japanese, Northern Han, Western Shu, and Tubo! I heard that this was something they had negotiated long ago.
Okay, the date for dispatching troops will be marked by the death of Emperor Sejong!"
Feng Jiuxiao asked: "When did the Southern Tang Dynasty know that Shizong had passed away?"
General Cai said: "As far as I know, it should be three days ago!"
Feng Jiuxiao said: "Doesn't that mean that the Southern Tang sent troops three days later than other dynasties?"
General Cai said: "It's not just three days late? Emperor Sejong actually passed away a month ago! But the spy who was ambushing Da Zhou only sent the message three days ago!"
Feng Jiuxiao remained calm, "This spy's ability to find out information is a bit poor."
General Cai said: "The spy said that the news in Dazhou was tightly sealed, but it took a lot of effort to find out!"
Feng Jiuxiao asked: "Do people in the Southern Tang Dynasty believe it?"
General Cai looked strange, "Commander, strange to say, they believed it!"
"Oh why?"
"Because the intelligence agencies of the five countries have exchanged information in the past two days, they have come to a conclusion. The spies of the five countries have only found out the information in the past few days. Their voices are surprisingly consistent! No one believes that they are colluding!"
Feng Jiuxiao exclaimed, "Well, it seems that Da Zhou's ability to block information is pretty good!"
Pang Shishi looked disdainful! But Feng Jiuxiao saw it, but General Cai couldn't.
General Cai said: "But what is strange is that the last confirmation the Southern Tang Dynasty got from the Khitan was that the Khitan had long known the news of Shizong's death, but they gave up their plan to jointly attack Zhou. According to Empress Dowager Xiao, now
If the son is weak and the minister is strong, the family must be settled in advance."
Feng Jiuxiao said: "Khitan stopped playing if he said he didn't want to, and didn't even say hello to Southern Tang?"
General Cai said: "Exactly, I heard that the Emperor of the Southern Tang Dynasty was very angry and was seriously ill. As soon as the spy reported what Empress Dowager Xiao wanted, he vomited blood for several liters on the spot!"
Pang Shishi said: "Damn, this year is going to be unlucky. Several emperors have died. Maybe the Emperor of the Southern Tang Dynasty won't be able to live for a few days."
The Emperor of the Northern Han Dynasty was "lost" by Liancheng, the Emperor of the Southern Han Dynasty was "sent away" by Zhu Wu, Emperor Shizong of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and Emperor Jingzong of the Great Liao Dynasty died in their "own posts" successively. This year, for those who are emperors,
It’s really a bad year!
General Cai said: "The situation that needs to be broken now is that the fifty thousand soldiers and horses of the Southern Tang Dynasty are ready to set off! They will soon attack the southern border of the Great Zhou Dynasty!" This is really a big event!
Feng Jiuxiao said: "Don't worry about this, they won't be able to fight for a while!"
General Cai's eyes flashed, "The commander seems to have everything in mind!"
Feng Jiuxiao smiled and said: "Of course! But this matter involves many military and national secrets, and it is not convenient to reveal them to you at the moment!" At that time, the secret envoys of the five countries had a secret meeting. The secret envoy of the Southern Tang Dynasty was dressed in purple and had a British sword hanging from his waist. It was the swordsmanship.
The superb and proud Ramajie of the Southern Tang Dynasty!
Now Ramajie and the secret envoys from the other four countries have become Feng Jiuxiao's slaves!
Naturally, he would not have sent the news of Emperor Sejong's death back to the Southern Tang Dynasty in time!
The other four people are naturally "in tune" and "advance and retreat together". Who can find the flaw between them? Who would have thought that the five people would actually collude in confessing?
The reason why Feng Jiuxiao is confident is that even if the five countries launch an attack, it doesn't matter. Information about every move of the troops and horses of the five countries will appear in front of Wei Qiansui in time!
Feng Jiuxiao said: "What I want to do most now is to find that Li Yu!"
"To capture the thief first, capture the king?"
"Yes, he is the key among the keys. If you control him, whether it's Yue He or Geng Chuanshan, all of them will use rat-proof weapons. Once the sharpest knife is sheathed, it will lose its own effect!"
"Like a tiger without its claws, there is nothing to worry about, haha!"
"Then do you know where Li Yu is?"
"Everyone in Qingzhou City knows where Mr. Li lives! Of course I know even more!"
"Okay, you will lead the way later! Fifteen, do you want to follow me to the city to find Li Yu first, or are you anxious to go to Yunmen Mountain for revenge?"
"Brother, you have the final say!"
"Seize Li Yu and solve the major issue of Southern Tang's attack on Zhou first. As for Geng and Mr. Wu, they can't escape!" Those two people can be captured even if they run to the ends of the earth! The top priority is how to resolve the problem of Southern Tang's attack on Zhou.
.
General Cai said: "I see you still have six carriages. I'm afraid there's more than one friend in them, right? It's best to find a place for them to settle down, and then join them when we come back from our work."
Feng Jiuxiao said: "That makes sense. Let's do this. They all stay, and we just go."
General Cai's eyes widened, "Just the two of us? There are so many masters around him, and I will probably be killed without even being able to deliver a single move!"
Feng Jiuxiao said: "How can you increase the ambition of others and destroy your own prestige?"
General Cai laughed at himself: "I still know myself!"
Feng Jiuxiao said: "I beat up their Mr. Lu Lu with one punch, didn't you see?"
General Cai said: "I saw it."
Feng Jiuxiao said: "Then don't you see that my martial arts are very high?"
General Cai said: "I thought that was not martial arts, because I didn't expect that a person could be beaten into a bloody mist! This is not in line with my knowledge! I have fought bloody battles for many years and experienced hundreds of battles, and I have never seen anyone explode.
It turns into a blood mist! Even if you use artillery bombardment, it will only explode into pieces. At least it can be transformed into a human form. What is your martial arts? It is simply evil magic, too evil!"
Feng Jiuxiao said: "So you don't believe this is martial arts?"
General Cai nodded and said: "That's right! Mr. Lu's martial arts is extremely high. He has killed many people with one palm. Those people's internal organs were shattered and the seven orifices were bleeding. But he has never seen anyone beaten into a bloody mist with one palm.
A scene blown away by the wind!
Feng Jiuxiao chuckled and said: "You'll get used to it after seeing it too much. Then let's do this for now. General Cai and I will go and arrest Li Yu, and you guys will stay where you are!"
Pang Shishi asked: "What about the antidote for chili pepper?"
Feng Jiuxiao said: "I almost forgot the antidote for pepper. How about you, Brother Wang, and Brother Duanmu go to Yunmen Mountain?"
Wang Sheng said: "Fifteen brothers are injured. Some of the three of us went into the mountain alone, so the risk is very high. Moreover, it is also very dangerous for us to leave only Miss Yuan and Miss Xiong. Miss Xiong was also seriously injured. I
I mean it’s best for everyone not to act separately!”
Pang Shishi's mind was spinning and he said to Feng Jiuxiao: "Brother, please go back quickly. I'll wait for you."
Feng Jiuxiao said: "Okay!"
Raise the whip and spur the horses, and the two riders ride away!
Ye Liqing said: "Why do you seem to know everything? As a Southern Tang person, why don't I know that Southern Tang is going to war with Dazhou?"
Lao Zhang said: "In fact, this battle will be fought sooner or later!"
"Why?"
"Because the foreshadowing was laid two years ago!"
"What's the meaning?"
"Emperor Shizong of the Great Zhou Dynasty had the same ambition to unify the world as our leader of the Southern Tang Dynasty. That year, Shizong of the Zhou Dynasty adopted minister Wang Pu's strategy of moving south first and then north, and led his army to attack our Southern Tang Dynasty. That time we were led by Shenwu Tong.
The army was led by Liu Yanzhen, and Emperor Shizong of the Great Zhou Dynasty personally led the expedition. The march was unstoppable. Zhao Kuangyin, the Marquis of Yu in front of the Great Zhou Palace, also participated in the battle, attacked Qingliuguan and Chuzhou, and captured Huangfu Hui and Yao Feng alive. The commander of the horse army of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Han Lingkun, captured Yangzhou. I
The Southern Tang Dynasty suffered successive defeats and sent envoys to sue for peace, but Zhou Shizong wanted to take all the land north of the Yangtze River and refused. Li Jing, the leader of our dynasty, ordered Qi King Li Jingda to be the marshal, the privy envoy Chen Jue to be the supervisor of the army, and Bian Hao to be the envoy to support the capital army.
, led 20,000 troops to fight against the Zhou army. In April, he advanced to Liuhe and was defeated by Zhao Kuangyin. In May, Zhou Shizong left Li Chongjin and others to continue the siege of Shouzhou. He returned to the capital of the Zhou Dynasty, built a large number of warships, and organized naval forces. The Zhou army surrounded
Shouzhou has not been conquered for many years, and finally withdrew its troops. In that battle, our Southern Tang Dynasty lost troops and generals, and lost all the northern territories, so the leader of the country vowed to avenge this! Now that the five-nation alliance has participated in the righteous deed, it is naturally a golden opportunity for our Southern Tang Dynasty!
"
Ye Liqing frowned and said: "In terms of comprehensive national strength, our Southern Tang Dynasty can be said to be proud of the world, ranking first among the ten countries. Yang Wu, Western Shu, Southern Chu, Southern Han, Wu Yue, Fujian, Northern Han, and Nanping are simply the same country.
A country is not as good as another country. Only Dazhou is roughly on par with us. We might not lose in a fight with Dazhou, but why do we really lose?"
Lao Zhang also said with emotion: "I have traveled all over the country, and I feel that the economic strength of the Southern Tang Dynasty is even far greater than that of the Great Zhou Dynasty. If two tigers compete, I shouldn't lose to the Southern Tang Dynasty. I don't understand it now!"
Pang Shiwu interjected: "If you have seen the northwest wolves and Luoyang tigers of the Great Zhou Dynasty, you will naturally know the reason."
Ye Liqing looked at Pang Shiwu with some doubts and said: "Are you saying that the northerners are martial artists, which is why there is such a huge difference in military strength between the north and the south?"
"I dare not say whether this is the reason, but since ancient times, wars unified from north to south have won nine out of ten battles, and wars unified from south to north have been defeated nine times out of ten. Although this is not entirely determined by the difference in combat power of individual soldiers.
, but the individual combat prowess of the soldiers does account for a large part of the factor! This is also the reason why the Khitan cavalry's combat prowess is the best in the world! They are tall and powerful, with strong bows and sharp arrows. Eight out of ten Khitan people can go up.
On the battlefield, if you pick up a hoe, you will be a farmer who can farm, and if you pick up a bow and arrow, you will be a soldier who can kill people! And our soldiers in the Central Plains are soldiers, and farmers are farmers. Scholars, farmers, industry, and commerce students all perform their duties and keep their duties. A defeat is like a mountain.
The city is destroyed, the family is destroyed! The defeat of the soldiers, the country is completely destroyed! Therefore, it is not necessarily a good thing for the people to be rich. Swords and guns are stored in the warehouse, horses are released in Nanshan, and people sing and dance every day. In the eyes of the ambitious wolf-like Khitan people, we
Like a piece of fat meat that is ready to be slaughtered! As long as they continue to covet it, there will never be peace in the Central Plains! Therefore, any wise king should actively expand the army and prepare for war, strengthen its strength, improve the combat effectiveness of the army, and improve the ability to defend the country!
"
"It seems that Emperor Sejong is taking the lead in this regard. The army of the Great Zhou Dynasty is much stronger than the army of the Southern Tang Dynasty!"
Duan Muyan suddenly thought of Zhang Zilu.
"Don't you know he borrowed the five thousand cavalry?"
