The first prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 575
In Xiao Yanyan's arms was also lying a letter written by Zhao Xu, which could be regarded as a farewell. She reluctantly glanced at Kaifeng City, and finally disappeared into the vast sky.

Here, Murong Yanzhao has already rushed to the front line, his morale is greatly boosted, and the soldiers have already been waiting for the arrival of their general.

This time, Zhao Kuangyin has spent all his money. This is the first time his army has gone abroad. It is not for peace, but for rescue.

More precisely, they were sent to regain Jingnan, so the troops Zhao Kuangyin sent were several times that of Jinghu's Nanping and Wuping.

That is to say, he wants the lion to fight the rabbit with all his strength. Now that all the personnel are here, he will start to march towards Wuping.

Li Chugeng, deputy envoy of the Privy Council, had been waiting here for a long time, and when he saw the Lord arrived, he immediately saluted:
"My subordinate Li Chugeng has a meeting with the general. May I ask the general if we can start marching towards Wuping. After all, the battle there is very urgent."

"General Li is polite, General Li is not busy, I have something to tell you in your tent first, and then it is not too late to march."

Li Chugeng didn't know why, but he still carried out Murong Yanzhao's order earnestly. On the one hand, Murong Yanzhao was the commander of the army, and on the other hand, his prestige was extremely high in the army.

There is no way for Li Chugeng to compare with him. Although he is puzzled in his heart, why does the coach not start at this time, what else is there to say to himself.

"Master Li, do you know what our real mission is this time, presumably Master Li has also thought about it."

When Murong Yanzhao entered the tent, he ordered people to enforce the law around him, and told Li Chugeng not to let other people in.

"Didn't the emperor tell us to rush to help Wuping directly? Isn't it obvious that Zhang Wenbiao was captured alive? What does the general mean by that?"

"General Li, don't you want to think about how many troops there are in Jingnan. You and I can lead an army of [-] people here. Don't you think you think highly of them?"

Murong Yanzhao's words awakened Li Chugeng, he began to think about the emperor's thoughts, and he also knew some internal news.

A few days ago, Lu Huaizhong, a good friend of the vice-inner liquor shop, was sent to Jingnan as an envoy and came back. When drinking with him, Old Lu probably had a few too many drinks and told him something.

When the emperor sent him to Jingnan, he once said to him: "Jiangling's human relations, mountains and rivers, geography, I want to know everything."

Although he didn't say anything else, everyone knew what the emperor wanted to do. Knowing this doesn't mean he has the whole situation in Jingnan in his hands.

He also said that he returned to Kaifeng with him, as well as rescuers from Nanping and Wuping, all with letters of appeal.

When Zhang Wenbiao captured Tanzhou and attacked Langzhou, Zhou Baoquan sent Yang Shifan to quell the rebellion on the one hand, and sent people to the neighbor Nanping and the suzerain Song Dynasty for help.

When Zhao Xu was in Jingnan earlier, he also said that in Nanping at this time, the actual owner is Gao Jichong.

However, he had just turned 20 years old and had just inherited the throne of Gao Baoxu. The Song Dynasty named him Jingnan Jiedu envoy according to the old practice.

Nanping is a small country, but it has good relations with Wuping. Now that there is a rebellion in Wuping, I am also afraid.

But I don't have any extra troops to help Wuping, but I can't help my old neighbors if they are in trouble.

So he came up with a brilliant idea, isn't the envoy of Song Dynasty here, we can invite Song Dynasty to send troops together with Wu Ping.

As a result, as soon as he told Lu Huaizhong, Old Lu directly patted his chest and said, leave this matter to me, and I will take care of it.

That's why the emperors and ministers of the Song Dynasty saw it, and Zhou Baoquan's letter of pleading for help led to the dispatch of troops this time, which seemed to be the suzerain's love for the subordinate country.

These are all seen by ordinary ministers and known by others, but as a person who personally witnessed this incident, Lu Huaizhong certainly knows the internal news.

That's what he said in front of the emperor and the prime minister:
"Jingnan is a small country with few soldiers and few generals, and the people in the country are not well-known. The people all hope that our master Wang can incorporate this place into the administrative area."

Speaking of which, this guy really took out something similar to Wanmin Watch and dedicated it to Zhao Kuangyin.

Immediately afterwards, he gave the topographic map of Jingnan, which means that Zhao Kuangyin was asked to attack the land of Nanping.

Zhao Kuangyin is also in a dilemma. They donate tributes to the court every year and they have never stopped, so how can I attack them? This is not authentic.

So Zhao Kuangyin only agreed to rush to help Wuping, and didn't say what to do with them, but anyone with a brain knows what the emperor is thinking.

Thinking of this, Li Chugeng already knew in his heart that a smart general would not only be able to fight, but more importantly, he would be able to share the emperor's worries.

"I understand what the general means. Shall we take down this Nanping first, and ask the general to order everything."

Li Chugeng was not stupid, let alone stupid, he knew that his boss had already understood the emperor's intention, otherwise he wouldn't have asked him to come over and say something.

It seems that Jiang is still old and hot, and he is indeed not as good as General Murong, which is why he can only be a deputy.

"General Li, we are now helping the leader Wuping put down the rebellion, but we can't fly there, there is Nanping in the middle, what do you think we should do?"

Murong Yanzhao smiled.

"General, we are friendly with Nanping. We are going to Wuping now. The people in Nanping must give us a way to go. In addition, we have food and clothing. They should also contribute."

"Besides, we help Wuping to help him in Nanping. I don't know if the general understands this right?"

This guy Li Chugeng is not a simple person, he just opened his mouth and said such a thing, talent, absolute talent.

"Haha, General Li has the same idea as me. How about we send a letter to Gao Jichong to explain our situation. When we came, the emperor and the prince said that we are allowed to do things cheaply. You know what it means."

When Murong Yanzhao came, Zhao Xu told him that as long as you don't rebel, everything else is up to you.

That is to say, as long as you can win Jinghu, I don't ask about the rest. Murong Yanzhao feels that there are very few people in ancient times who dare to give such authorization to their subordinates.

After talking, these two people started to write a letter, and there was nothing there just to borrow a way, and we have to go through it.

In addition, you see that we are going desperately, you are our vassal country, you must show it, you must send us some food.

After the two finished writing, they handed over the letter to their subordinates and asked them to deliver it to Gao Jichong. Of course, their army continued to move forward.
