The first prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 1191 Zhao's Enemy

"Young Master, if you want to successfully take down Nantang, I suggest that one person must be removed. If this is the case, the son's big business will be half done."

The person Feng Yanlu wanted to meet was Zhao Xu. At this time, they saw Zhao Xu like a child who made a mistake and met his teacher.

"Oh, who is the person you are talking about? This person covers half the sky of Tang Kingdom. Why have I never heard of such a person? Feng Yanlu, tell me who this person is. I really want to meet him."

Zhao Xu was also very interested in the person Feng Yanlu was talking about. Who was this person that made Feng Yanlu say that.

"It's such a young master. The person Yanlu mentioned is Lin Renzhao, the Marshal of the Southern Tang Dynasty. He holds military power and advocates active defense against the Song Dynasty. Therefore, we believe that this person is the number one enemy of the Song Dynasty to destroy the Tang Dynasty. "

Lin Renzhao, it was really him. Zhao Xu was really familiar with this person, and he had fought against him before. Not to mention these, Zhao Xu's family wanted to kill this person.

"Lin Renzhao, it turned out to be him, it turned out to be him, it seems that I have to pay more attention to this person." Zhao Xu murmured.

He is familiar with Lin Renzhao, even if he is not familiar with him, he still knows his information, whether it is real or obtained from later generations, Zhao Xu probably knows more details than Lin Renzhao himself knows.

Back then, Lin Renzhao was just a little unknown person. At the end of the Five Dynasties, his ancestral home was Fuzhou. When Fujian was destroyed, he lived in exile in Jianyang.

At this time, Li Jing, the new king of the Southern Tang Dynasty, was also very ambitious. He was vigorously increasing his army and expanding its strength. It was at this time that Lin Renzhao enlisted in the army.

Lin Renzhao has a strong physique, superb arm strength, brave and good at fighting, and has tiger stripes tattooed all over his body. He is known as "Lin Huzi".After he joined the army, he showed extraordinary courage and talent, and slowly started to be promoted step by step.

In the second year after Zhou Xiande, Zhou Shizong Chai Rong led his army south to Huainan, attacking Shouzhou in the Southern Tang Dynasty in an attempt to destroy the Southern Tang Dynasty.The general of Shouzhou asked Li Jing, the lord of the Southern Tang Dynasty, for help.Li Jing sent two troops to reinforce.There are [-] reinforcements along the way, which are the main force, led by the emperor's younger brother Li Jingda, and the real power is in the hands of the supervising army Chen Jue.

The other reinforcements were side divisions, that is to say, when the main force failed, they would go in, and this small force was led by Lin Renzhao.

The main rescue force is actually controlled by Chen Jue, but this person is both incompetent and afraid of death. He deliberately finds excuses and shrinks back, making the situation in Shouzhou even more severe.Lin Renzhao used his troops skillfully. He knew that his troops were limited. If he went straight to Shouzhou for rescue, it would be like moths flying into the flames and killing himself.

This kind of support has no effect, so he chose the Xiacai Floating Bridge as the attack point according to the strategy of encircling Wei and saving Zhao. This is the only way for the Hou Zhou army to provide supplies.

When Lin Renzhao led his army to appear on Xiacai Floating Bridge, Zhou Yongde, who was guarding here, was taken aback.In the decisive battle between the two armies, Ren Zhao single-handedly entered the enemy's formation, rampaging and extremely brave.Later, Zhou's army fired all arrows, but they were all knocked to the ground by Ren Zhao's left and right swing of his gun. Zhou Yongde was also a fierce general, but Ren Zhao was afraid when he saw the leaping horse and spear in the formation.

At this time, Zhao Xu also participated, and the two were still fighting at this time. At that time, Zhao Xu was just a Du Yuhou.

In this fierce battle, the Southern Tang army was finally defeated due to being outnumbered.When retreating, Ren Zhao was alone and covered the retreat of his subordinates.Later Zhou's army wanted to take advantage of the victory and pursue it, but Zhou Yongde did not dare to underestimate the enemy, and shouted: "There are people there, so don't take it lightly."

With outstanding military exploits, he was promoted step by step from a soldier who charged into battle to become a naval governor of Nantang Town.In the Southern Tang Dynasty, Renzhao was regarded as a general of "the life and death of the south of the Yangtze River".

At this time, he had become a hot figure in the Southern Tang Dynasty. It was worth mentioning that he was also Zhao Xu's enemy, because Zhao Hongyin died of a relapse after being shot by Lin Renzhao.

In the first month of 960 A.D., Zhao Kuangyin and Chen Qiao mutinied, added a yellow robe, and changed the name of the country to Song.The newly established Song Dynasty actually only controlled the territory of the original Hou Zhou, and the division of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms did not end.In the following year, Li Jing, the lord of the Southern Tang Dynasty, spent his life of inaction, and his son Li Yu ascended the throne as the post-lord of the Southern Tang Dynasty.

Li Yu, courtesy name Chongguang, first named Congjia, was the sixth son of Li Jing, the lord of the Southern Tang Dynasty. Because his five elder brothers all died young, Li Yu was named King of Wu, became the prince, and became the heir to the throne. .He was called Empress Li in history.

Li Yu is versatile and outstanding in his articles. He is also good at calligraphy and painting. He still loves to write lyrics and has profound attainments.But Li Yu was not made to be an emperor. He was 25 years old when he succeeded to the throne, and he was addicted to the love of the same Xiao Zhou.

Li Yu also believed in Buddhism very much and recruited monks widely. At that time, there were as many as ten thousand monks in Jinling.After Li Yu retired, he changed into monk's clothes and read scriptures.When monks commit crimes, they are only punished by reciting Buddhist scriptures, and then pardoned.

Lin Renzhao was always thinking about ways to restore the country.He believed that Zhao Kuangyin's mutiny usurped the throne, people's hearts were fluctuating, coupled with the expedition in all directions, and the troops were exhausted. This is a good opportunity to regain the lost land of the Southern Tang Dynasty.However, Lin Renzhao handed over the battle memorials again and again, but there was no news, and once he was punished by "thinking about mistakes behind closed doors".

These were not intended to stop Lin Renzhao's patriotism. Since then, he has been thinking about serving the country. No matter how much he has been wronged, it is nothing to him as long as he can lead the army.

"Lin Renzhao is now your commander-in-chief. It seems that he is really capable and a great enemy of our Great Song Dynasty. What's more, my grandfather died because of him. I don't think so. I will let him go, Lin Renzhao, Lin Renzhao."

Zhao Xu still respects his grandfather very much. It can be said that the first relative he saw in this world was his grandfather Zhao Hongyin, but Zhao Hongyin passed away because of Lin Renzhao's arrow. Increased dislike for Lin Renzhao.

"Don't bother with this matter, you two, as long as you perform your duties in Nantang properly, and you must properly pull the officials belonging to your camp to help us at the most critical time Da Song, when the time comes, it will be considered a great achievement by your brothers."

"Thank you son, don't worry, son, we will leave this matter to our brothers. Our brothers will definitely handle this matter beautifully. If it can't be done, you will kick my head as a ball."

Feng Yansi also expressed his opinion. In fact, he was more happy in his heart. The task Zhao Xu entrusted to their brothers was extremely simple, and it would be even more effortless to complete it.

"But you'd better restrain your people, don't oppress the people, vilify me and say it first, or don't blame me for being rude. I hope you can remember this."

The two Feng Yanlu brothers were taken aback for a moment, and then nodded directly like chickens pecking at rice. Zhao Xu has already said not to harm the people, do they dare not obey?
