Tang Dynasty Mingyue Song Dynasty Pass

Chapter 629

Great Song Dynasty, Bian capital.

After Zhao Kuangyin approved the papers in the imperial study, he sent people to announce Zhao Pu and Zhao Guangyi into the palace, and asked about the progress of the divorce plan.

Zhao Pu replied: "At present, it has been carried out according to the plan. It is said that Li Yu has sent Zheng Wang Li Congshan and Deng Wang Li Congyi to serve as supervisors on the two fronts. Obviously, the divorce plan has worked.

"At present, Li Congshan has entered Caishiji, divided Lin Renzhao's military power, and sent Lin Renzhao to fight against the Song army in the south of the Yangtze River. He fought on land, while Li Congshan was mainly in charge of the water army on the upper river in Caishiji. As I expected, he was not bad. They will definitely win over the generals and secretly investigate Lin Renzhao, this matter will cause a split in the army."

Zhao Kuangyin smiled slightly when he heard the words: "Lin Renzhao is good at navy, and he suddenly fought against Li Jixun and others on land. He was fighting on his own merits. As long as Lin Renzhao had an accident, the Southern Tang Dynasty would have no powerful generals to stop Cao Bin and Pan The U.S. Army. Therefore, this plan of alienation must be realized, and it must be effective. Only by getting rid of Lin Renzhao will it be truly effective."

Zhao Pu nodded and said, "Understood."

Zhao Kuangyin continued to ask: "Then the eastern front will be effective? Has Su Chen been squeezed out?
Zhao Pu replied: "Due to the siege of Jinling City, Li Congyi led 3000 troops to break through the siege at night two days ago and broke into the city. What is the specific situation in the city? I don't know yet, but it will definitely restrict Su Chen. At this time, We can speed up the advance and intensify the fission.

Zhao Kuangyin asked: "How to advance?"

Zhao Pu replied: "We can send envoys southward to Jinling to ask for Su Chen in the name of a peace negotiation. As long as we let the wind out, we can even send an envoy to Tang to drive away the wolves and tigers. Even if the peace negotiation fails, it will be shaken." The morale of the army is disintegrated, which is conducive to our army's siege and disintegration of the opponent."

Zhao Kuangyin nodded, thinking it made sense.

Zhao Guangyi asked from the side: "If the other party agrees to hand over Su Chen, will our army retreat?
Zhao Pu analyzed: "At present, the two fronts are in a fierce battle. If the Tang army does not make mistakes, it is possible to fight for another three months or half a year. Then, in this half year, our army will suffer heavy losses. Chen will definitely cause the parties in the Tang Dynasty to fight and divide the interior. Once Li Yu surrenders Su Chen for the sake of the royal power and the small court, it will inevitably chill the hearts of scholars in the world and make many Tang soldiers feel worthless. The resistance of these soldiers will inevitably be weak in the future. It is not a bad idea for us to temporarily suspend our troops for a period of time when we get Su Chen. We only talk about a truce and rest for half a year, but it does not mean that we will give up the land that has already been fought, nor does it mean that we will Retreat across the board."

Zhao Kuangyin understood what he meant, he only said to stop the attack, he didn't say that he would hand over the acquired land, he would live in the Tang country first, and let them divide, once Su Chen was handed over, then the morale and defense of the Tang country would drop, and then attack again, In one go, there is no truce or restraint.

After thinking about this, Zhao Kuangyin laughed loudly and said: "This strategy is sinister enough, but it is in line with the law of war and the principle that soldiers are not tired of deceit. Let's stabilize the Tang State first and divide it so that there are internal contradictions and cannot be united. In this way , when they hand over Su Chen, when Su Chen crosses the Yangtze River and goes north to Bianjing, they can let the two armies rest, and then find an excuse to launch a second attack, take it in one fell swoop, and it is impossible to escape destruction!"

Zhao Pu replied: "Yes, that's what I mean, then let's choose an envoy."

Zhao Kuangyin nodded and asked, "Who do you think is suitable for this trip to Tang?"

Zhao Pu felt that this matter was a bit tricky, and he didn't think of a suitable candidate for a moment, Zhao Guangyi next to him blinked his eyes and said, "Brother Huang, I recommend someone who can complete this matter.

Zhao Kuangyin glanced at his second brother and asked, "Guangyi, who do you choose?"

Zhao Guangyi said: "The minister recommends Cheng Dexuan. This person is currently in charge of the Kaifeng government office. He is stable in his work and has a fickle eloquence. He is most suitable for this kind of thing."

"Cheng Dexuan!" Zhao Kuangyin was not very impressed, but his brother recommended him, and he agreed without thinking too much.

"Well, this person is a candidate for the leader of the envoy. Tomorrow, I will announce him to the palace. I will explain a few more words. If there is no problem with the ability of thinking, I will lead the envoy to the Tang Kingdom in the south of the Yangtze River to complete this task."

.........

Zhao Guangyi's residence!
At this time, he has not yet been conferred the title of King of Jin, but has been conferred the title of Grand Neidu Deployment. With Tong Ping Zhang Shi, Kaifeng Governor, and Zhong Shu Ling, he is definitely a minister of the court.

At this time, Cheng Dexuan, Zhao Guangyi, and other counselors Cheng Yu, Jia Yan, Chen Congxin, and Zhang Ping sat in a secret room in the backyard to discuss the trip.

Zhao Guangyi said: "Mr. Cheng, recommending you to enter the Southern Tang Dynasty this time can also be regarded as a formal appearance in the official career, entering the eyes of officials and prime ministers, grabbing a share of credit, accumulating resumes and achievements. We don't take advantage of our people and generals, we can only grab this mission.

"If you can get in touch with Su Chen in advance, you can also win him over. As long as he opens his mouth and agrees to get closer to us, he can become my staff, or do things for us. Gold and silver beauties, various official positions, I will They will do everything they can to please him.”

Cheng Dexuan and others knew that Zhao Guangyi had big goals in mind. After all, after Zhao Kuangyin ascended the throne, he immediately made his brother the governor of Kaifeng, which was a signal to send a quasi-crown prince.

In the past few years, Zhao Guangyi has worked hard, and he has established a firm foothold in Bianjing City, and has installed many forces of his own. Among the three religions and nine streams in Bianjing, he has his eyeliner.He is also wooing some ministers of the DPRK and China, and summoning many aides to give advice to his Nan Yamen.

According to Zhao Guangyi, before the death of his mother, Empress Dowager Du, she had confessed that there was an alliance of golden chambers, that the elder brother would pass on to the second younger brother after being the emperor, and the second brother would pass on the emperor to the third younger brother, and finally return to Zhao Kuangyin's heirs. , This is what his mother said before she died, and Zhao Kuangyin personally agreed.

Therefore, Zhao Guangyi still has ideas about the Ninth Five-Year Supreme, and it depends on whether his elder brother will keep his promise to his mother.

At the beginning, Zhao Guangyi, the ten brothers of Yishe, Zhao Pu and others staged a scene where Chen Qiao was dressed in a yellow robe, pushing his elder brother Zhao Kuangyin to the throne.

Zhao Kuangyin's enthronement as emperor also has a lot to do with Zhao Guangyi's behind-the-scenes participation. Part of his contribution and credit is due to him. Everyone is happy.

But Zhao Guangyi knew in his heart that he must develop his own power. Only when his own power reaches a certain level will the resistance of ministers be reduced. After all, in terms of succession, it also involves the Confucian tradition of passing on the eldest son. Without an eldest son.

At present, his brother Zhao Kuangyin obviously has two princes, and the future is full of variables, so Zhao Guangyi is constantly collecting various talents.Since this Su Chen already has the title of the world's number one talented person, Zhao Guangyi still hopes to win him over.

Cheng Dexuan frowned and shook his head, and sighed: "To be honest, after entering the palace, the minister felt that the officials were particularly interested in this Su Chen, and even repeatedly explained that he must treat this person well, take him back to Bianjing, and even want to canonize him Su Chen, first entered Hanlin to be an editor, and at the same time let him be the tutor of the first prince and the second prince, so you may not be as strong as the official to win Su Chen, he may not be on your side, he may become Your great resistance."

This is Cheng Dexuan's analysis, and it is also a kind of inner jealousy of literati. If Su Chen comes over, all their counselors will be overshadowed, so Cheng Dexuan has some resistance to Su Chen.
