Li Yu is a very smart person. He thought everything after leaving Chuzhou. Zhao Er is really damn reasonable!

Zhao Er has a good father, a capable elder brother, and a famous master all over the world. He has everything. If such a person is a general and a prime minister, who can suppress him? There is no way, Zhao Er can only be an embroidered messenger and do some dirty work to have the value of existence. Otherwise, it would be a playboy like the young masters of other wealthy families, which would be quite helpless to be a playboy.

In fact, I am also a yamen, and I am the biggest yamen in the world. My father is the emperor and my eldest brother is the crown prince. In my life, I will be the wise king of Taiping, and there is no other possibility.

As a result, the eldest brother usurped the throne and drove himself to the Great Zhou.

In recent years, I have worked as a coolie, sing, feeding horses, being an embroidered messenger, killing people... I have done everything, and there is no royal dignity. But it's okay, the Southern Tang Dynasty is about to be destroyed, so what kind of royal dignity do I need?

Just in time, I completely abandoned this damn identity.

Some people may think that Li Yu is a survivor of the Southern Tang royal family and cannot be used very much. This idea is just the knowledge of ordinary people. Chai Rongxiong is talented and clever, and he can even use Han Delang, so how could he let Li Yu go?

What ability does a survivor of the Southern Tang Dynasty have to threaten the Great Zhou court? What really threatens the security of the country are those important civil and military officials. They are mixed up and powerful, and quietly take away the power of the court. They are said to be the emperor, but in fact they are just the founding monarchs. The emperor behind them is no different from the statues in the temple, they are just decorations! If the IQ is not enough, they will be played around.

Li Yu, who had no much connection with the civil servant group of the current dynasty, could just balance the dynasty and restrain the civil servants in the north.

"It is precisely because I have nothing that the emperor of the Great Zhou can use me!"

Li Yu muttered twice, and suddenly smiled elegantly. Zhao Er is also fooling people and is still a good person! Let's break through the level in front of him first!

There are salt workers everywhere, and there are people who are doing things everywhere. They are in chaos and may lose their lives at any time. Isn’t it too painful to dream of other things?

Li Yu shook his head hard and devoted himself to the great cause of understanding the local people's sentiments... In fact, the most important success factor for the salt workers to do things is still Ye Hua.

In order to cover Wei Renpu's journey south, Ye Hua mobilized his troops to station troops near Taizhou and then advanced to Shouzhou. The main force of the Southern Tang Dynasty was firmly held back by the Great Zhou, and the rear was empty, so that the salt workers could succeed smoothly.

Now all the troops in Jiangbei of Southern Tang have retreated into the city to defend the city, and the decisive battle has been formed!

"The champion Hou went south for only a few months. He turned his hand and turned his hand and turned his hand and made rain, stirring up a pool of spring water in the south of the Yangtze River, creating an excellent opportunity. I decided to send troops immediately to conquer Jinling and destroy the Southern Tang Dynasty!"

Chai Rong announced murderously.

The emperor's decree was unanimously supported by officials, especially the generals, who screamed.

Among them, the most fierce one is Zhao Kuangyin.

Last year, Ye Hua blocked his plan to move south from the middle and upper reaches of the Yangtze River, and the imperial guards were sent outside the Great Wall to capture slaves.

After a few months, Zhao Kuangyin achieved fruitful results. He captured nearly 100,000 slaves in total, which was equivalent to two people per soldier.

Most of these slaves were sold to Hedong.

Farms need people, mines need people, and workshops need people.

One hundred thousand people were stolen almost in a blink of an eye.

Zhao Dadu was worried, "Your Majesty, the barbarians in Yunzhou have almost been arrested. If you want to arrest people, you must go deep into the grassland for hundreds of miles, which is getting more and more difficult. Now there is only one Yunzhou City left, and there are still tens of thousands of people in it."

Chai Rong smiled and said, "Zhao Qing, since that's the case, why don't you take down Yunzhou?"

Zhao Dahan smiled and said, "Your Majesty, I have two considerations."

"Oh? Tell me."

Zhao Dadao: "This happened several years ago. I went to the house of Champion Hou. At that time, His Highness Xing Ge was still wearing open-crotch pants, but he could recite some poems better, but he didn't know money. Every time he memorized a poem, I took out a lot of money. He only knew how to take copper plates, one poem and one copper plate. Not only me, but everyone else was the same."

Chai Rong chuckled and said, "Zhao Qing, there are people in that sect who don't know money? I think you're fooled. Brother Xing wants to get more copper coins, right?"

Zhao grinned bitterly, "I asked the Champion Hou later, and he said the same thing, but I was confused for a while and suffered heavy losses!"

"How to say it?" Chai Rong said curiously.

"The day before yesterday, I received the reward from His Majesty, so I took out such a large golden ingot and put it in a pile of money. Brother Xing asked me to choose. I wonder if he would still take the copper plate!"

"Bah!" Chai Rong spat at Zhao Da and cursed with a smile: "Are you a fool to be my brother?"

Zhao Da hugged his head helplessly, "Anyway, since then, I won't bet with the people of the Ye Mansion, one hundred taels! Such a big gold ingot... Alas, just buy a lesson!"

Chai Rong likes Zhao Kuangyin's instinctiveness. He smiled and said, "I understand what you mean. I am using Yunzhou as a bait. As long as Yunzhou is present, the Khitan will send people here. If there are merchants and materials transportation, we will get benefits."

"Yes, that's what it means. I thought, if Yunzhou has no value and is completely taken back, the days will not be too far away, at most one or two years. After all, the Khitan is not a fool."

Chai Rong nodded with a smile, "What else, what about the second point?"

"The second consideration? I am thinking about the big thing about restoring Yunzhou, Your Majesty should be in charge of the army. I am willing to serve as a front pawn for Your Majesty!"

"You!"

Chai Rong smiled silently and gave Zhao Da three words "flattery", Zhao Kuangyin accepted it calmly, without thinking anything wrong. He had heard in Ye Hua Mansion that flattering the emperor, there was a special term called "Song Sheng", which was one of the duties of his subjects. He was loyal and loved his every job!

Chai Rong pondered and said, "I satisfy your wish, but it's not about regaining Yunzhou. Yunzhou is still too small! What I want is the entire Jiangnan!"

Chai Rong waved his hand suddenly, "I will send an order to order a hundred thousand imperial guards, and you, Zhang Yongde and Han Tong, will take the vanguard, immediately go to Chuzhou, obey the order of the champion Hou, I will personally lead the army, and then arrive!"

"My memory... obey the order!"

The wrinkles on Zhao Da’s face were all smiling. Although many were seized in the battle, it was a small scene after all. Zhao Dake didn’t see it. He was ready to raise troops to go south!

At this moment, the Great Zhou can be regarded as a gathering of stars. If you choose one, you will be the only general.

Needless to mention the three pioneers, the other generals include Gao Huaide, Yang Ye, Murong Yanzhao, Shi Shouxin, Pan Mei, Han Lingkun, Fu Zhaoxin, Chen Shi, Wang Tingyi, Liu Yanqin, etc. This list alone is enough to make people dizzy.

Chai Rong personally led the army to fight, leaving Wang Pu as the capital.

As he went south, there were Privy Councilor Hou Yi, Wenhua Hall Grand Secretary Li Gu, Wuying Hall Grand Secretary Han Xizai, Han Lin Bachelor Li Si... These five people, a veteran who knows about military affairs, a financial star who is familiar with finance, a bachelor who understands the situation in the Southeast, and a newcomer who is good at making suggestions, and the lineup is absolutely perfect.

Important civil and military officials and elite soldiers and generals came out together.

Flags are flying, people shout and horses are neighing, swords and guns are bright, and there are crowds of people.

The momentum of going to the battle is simply unstoppable.

Li Gu rode on the horse and smiled and said, "With the military power of the Great Zhou Dynasty, if Li Hongji's son is smart, he should avoid his edge and retreat to Jinling, rely on the natural danger of the Yangtze River to survive. If he dares to resist the heavenly soldiers, he will seek death! Do you think so?" Li Gu looked at himself on the horse's back. Obviously, getting Chai Rong's holy family again made Li Xianggong more than ten years younger, and he said more than he was older!

No one said anything, Li Si smiled, "Grandpa Li, ask me to tell me that this time Li Hongji will not only not retreat, but will also fight to the death with the Great Zhou!"

"Oh? Does he have this ability?"

Li Si smiled and said, "He has to do it for Mr. Li, why don't we make a bet? If I win, you can change into a woman and sing a song for the soldiers of the three armies?"

Li Gu thought for a while and said aloud: "Stop raping, even if you play one song, I might as well just play it and sing it myself! But what if Mr. Li loses?"

Li Si was about to speak when a messenger rushed over. Li Si raised his eyebrows and smiled, "I'm afraid I won't lose!"

The messenger rolled down from the horse's back and knelt down on one knee, "I call your Majesty, Chuzhou urgently reported that Li Hongji raised 300,000 troops to rescue Yangzhou."

Three hundred thousand?

What a big deal!
