After the New Year, spring begins, the breeze blows, the earth revives, withered grass sprouts, and many wild flowers bloom, filling the fields, refreshing the heart and mind.

After discussing with Yang Ling'er, Han Xizai and others, Su Chen decided to personally lead an army of 30,000 people and march north.

Because the main force of Wu Yue has returned to Hangzhou, and the two armies of Lu Chaoqun and Wei Dongqiang are fighting on their own, and their current morale is too proud, it is easy for them to suffer defeat in the final critical battle. Therefore, Su Chen is prepared for a rainy day and plans to go north earlier. If the front line

After suffering a defeat, he could provide support from behind and fight against Wu Yue's army.

Han Xizai and others agreed. After all, they recognized Su Chen's ability to lead troops. Su Chen had also made great contributions in the battle of Runzhou City.

Now is the time to show personal abilities and establish the prestige of the three armed forces.

Su Chen left 10,000 Shence troops to Quanzhou, led by Jing Hong, who were responsible for guarding Citong City and protecting Yang Ling'er and other ministers.

This is Su Chen's trusted general, leaving others uneasy. After all, this is a base camp with his own family members, as well as many official kilns, shipping companies, etc. Military power must be handed over to trusted generals to ensure safety.

Then, Su Chen led Peng Jingjing, Taishi Zhao, Hu Chengxian, and Lin Juyi from the Shence Army camp outside Citong City, with 20,000 troops, and arrived at Fuzhou City, where they met Lin Renzhao.

After everyone sat down in order of priority in Fuzhou General's Mansion, Lin Renzhao said to Su Chen: "General, I have an idea, I don't know whether I should talk about it or not?"

Su Chen respected Lin Renzhao very much and said, "General Lin has something to say, but there is no harm in saying it."

Wu Yue brought Jiang Tao, Liu Dong, Xia Baosong and others with him and placed them in Wenzhou, Taizhou, and Chuzhou as local officials responsible for managing state and county affairs, such as relieving refugees, appeasing the people, restoring social order, and ensuring that the people lived a normal life.

, checking household registration, accepting some prison laws, etc., can allow criminals to be released without being punished and cause harm to others.

"It's worse than you expected. The main force of the Shence Army rushed back to the front, found the right opportunity to attack, and severely damaged the rebels at the back. It's time for me to take action."

"Can General Lin recruit and persuade the old generals from various states and counties in the Tang Dynasty to surrender?" Wu Yue asked. He must be able to do it. This is naturally a bad thing.

At this time, they drove Su Chen across the river, and then took Jingnan and Changsha Mansion to conquer the Southern Han Dynasty. The entire south belonged to the Wu State, and a situation of Song, Shu, and Wu was formed, just like the Eight Kingdoms period.

Wei, Shu, and Wu are all in the sky.

Wu Yue's eyes were firm and determined, and he decided to lead his troops to meet him. The little war god marshaled his troops and showed his edge.

After staying for a few days, Wu Yue continued to move north on behalf of his troops. On the way, he suddenly received news that when the Wu Yue Army and Qi Ying generals were attacking Wuzhou City, they were attacked from behind by Gu Yiliang's main force. The Song Army's reinforcements finally attacked.

, a small defeat of the Wu Yue army and Qi Ying's army caused the soldiers and horses led by the seven men to lose their helmets and armor, suffering heavy losses, and were fleeing towards Chuzhou.

Just as the Buddhists say: "Vajra's angry eyes subjugate the seven demons, and Bodhisattva's high eyebrows bring compassion to the eight ways." Whether it is Vajra's angry eyes or Bodhisattva's high eyebrows, they both need to cooperate with each other to be able to light up and be kind, otherwise there will be no way.

To protect so few evil people, one must not have the scowl to intimidate some young people, so that some innocent people dare to do good deeds.

Whether there was fighting along the way or not, when passing through some prefectures and counties captured by the rebels, we had to help the people, provide relief to the people, and restrain the Eighth Army. We had to let the rebels harass the people wantonly.

Gu Yi nodded when he heard this, thinking that this method was very bad. He had thought about it himself, but unfortunately he was unfamiliar with a small number of garrison generals. Han Xizai and others were also civil servants, and they also knew a lot about the military governors and generals from various places.

After the fall of the Southern Tang Dynasty, all dragons had their own leaders, and many generals had no intention of proclaiming themselves kings, and they became a powerful local separatist force.

If you follow a lord like that these days, you will definitely become a wise lord!

However, when those rebellious and docile generals saw Wu and Yue's 20,000 Gu Yiliang, weak soldiers and strong horses, high-spirited soldiers, and well-equipped weapons and equipment, they dared to say nothing and became obedient.

"Yes!" Wei Dongqiang felt happy when he saw that Wu Yue agreed to my proposal, because it showed that Wu Yue, although he had learned a lot, was proud at all, could listen to other people's suggestions seriously, and also trusted me. That was

Very rare.

But now the Shu Kingdom is very powerful and has no way to compete with the Song Dynasty and Wu Dynasty. It is impossible to say whether the Song Dynasty or Wu Dynasty will be unified.

Wu Yue thought for a moment and felt that this method was feasible. Wei Dongqiang must lead the troops there. By opening up the situation, the soldiers and horses scattered in various places in the Southern Tang Dynasty could be united and connected. They were all regular troops. As long as they changed their flags and submitted to the Wu Kingdom, so the Southern Tang Dynasty would

The endgame of the Tang Dynasty instantly became the support point of the Wu State, and its territory was expanded. Before merging the Southern Tang and Song armies, the strength of the Wu State would be greatly reduced.

Wu Yue led Lin Renzhao's 20,000 soldiers and horses, led his generals, went north from Fuzhou, retreated into the territory of the Song army, and marched slowly to push back towards the capital of the Song army.

Two days ago, Wei Dongqiang and Wu Yue divided their troops in Fuzhou City. Wei Dongqiang led 20,000 elite troops and led generals Lin Yuan, Lin Xing, Zhou Cang, Gan Ping and others to retreat towards Jianzhou of Tang State in the northwest, leaving behind Liu Ren.

Liu Chong, the son of Zhan, was stationed in Fuzhou. He was also a loyal man and could not be entrusted with the important task of guarding the city of Fuzhou.

Gu Yi also assigned a thousand troops to each of the eight people as a force to manage public security. At the same time, he ordered us not to continue to recruit new soldiers in the state capital, to develop and expand the army regularly, and placed his own people in seven places to let these people on the island.

Next, the generals who were accustomed to being pirates, Du Yuhou and others, acted recklessly in the local area to avoid forcing the Song army officials to force the people to rebel.

[At the beginning of the month, please give me your monthly ticket!] In those troubled times, it was possible to rely solely on benevolence, justice, and morality, but only if there was not enough force to protect it.

When Wu Yue thought of that, he suddenly lost confidence in resisting the Song Dynasty and said to General Wei Dongqiang: "I will ask General Lin to go there personally and lead an elite army of 20,000 Lin Renzhao to go out and retreat into the territory of the old Tang Dynasty to recruit troops from various states and counties. But

To make a temporary appointment, please invite Lord Yang and Han Xizai to issue an edict to appoint them. They will all be formally conferred generals and transformed into generals and governors of Wu State."

Lu Chaoqun and Gu Yiliang's assistant generals were stationed in various states, counties, Wenzhou City and other places. We led thousands of defenders there to show off our power. I heard that General "Chen Su" was coming from the front. Did you let me go?

In the eyes.

Gu Yiliang replied respectfully: "You can't try. After all, you have been a young general in the army and do not have a certain prestige. You can lead 20,000 elite soldiers and go to Jianzhou first. The governor and governor of Jianzhou is your old friend.

Chen He. You take it

The soldiers passed by and stationed themselves in Jianzhou first to observe the situation. At the end of the day, the Su Chen group was led by Li Jixun and Liu Guangyi to attack the Yong'an Army in the north of Jianzhou. Jianzhou City was damaged. The general was unable to come to aid, so he defeated the Su group first.

Chen.”

Wei Dongqiang said: "At present, there are wars everywhere in the Southern Tang Dynasty. Many old Tang generals are willing to give up the country, but the Tang royal family has not yet died, and there is no way to issue orders again. How about you take the opportunity to contact the Tang army generals in various prefectures and counties?

Gathering them together and absorbing them, we can't raise a small army in an instant and drag Su Chen into the quagmire. Once Su Chen is driven out of the territory of the Tang Kingdom, those places will be able to successfully submit to the Wu Kingdom."
