Tang Dynasty Mingyue Song Dynasty Pass

Chapter 693
Yang Shou himself also fell into the water, and was lifted up by his subordinates who knew how to water, and put him on a wooden door, thus escaped unharmed.

He watched the two big boats sank just like that, drowned countless people, and their bodies floated on the surface of the river, and were rushed downstream by the river, breaking out in a cold sweat.

This time, my task is to escort Li Yu and other royal family members to Bianjing City, where they will be inspected and entrusted by the emperor of Song Dynasty. This is a ceremony of surrender.

The emperor of the Song Dynasty forgave Li Yu and others, and made him a marquis, which can reflect Zhao Kuangyin's vision, and it is also for the rest of the princes who have not surrendered.

Now, all of them died in the river, how does this make other princes think about this matter?

It will make people think that this is because the Song Dynasty did not have the capacity to tolerate people, and secretly sent people to destroy it, so that the surrendered Southern Tang monarch and royal heirs were all killed to avoid future troubles.

This will have a very bad impact on the image of Da Song.

Yang Shou felt that he couldn't explain it, and he couldn't explain it clearly, so how could he ask the Emperor of Song Dynasty?
He was very worried that in order to stop Youyou's mouth and anger the Tang people, the Zhao family would kill him and tell the world.

"It's over, it's over."

Yang Shou couldn't wait to cry, let the small boat rowed to catch the heirs of the Li family immediately, to see how many people are still alive, if he can save one, it is one.

Immediately, a large-scale corpse-hunting scene appeared on the entire river.

The boats of the Song Army continued to fish for the bodies of Li Tang's royal family members in the river.

However, most of the royal family members of the Li family have drowned.

For example, the bodies of Li Congshan, Li Congyi, Queen Mother Zhong, Princess Daning, and Li Yu's concubines were salvaged and drowned.

Including Li Yu himself, unfortunately died.

"Cough cough!"

Zhou Ehuang here is proficient in water, and out of the desire to protect the child, he forcibly rescued his youngest son on a wooden board, holding on to the wooden board, and when he was rescued into the boat, he was already exhausted and could not drink. The water of the Yangtze River, but life is saved
She looked at the river, many corpses floating, many familiar faces, former family members, relatives, and her husband, the eldest son drowned and died, causing Zhou Ehuang to suffer a great blow.

Fortunately, neither Zhou Jiamin nor Princess Yongning followed, otherwise, they would have been doomed.

After more than half a day of rescue and salvage, less than [-]% of the members of the Li royal family were lucky enough to survive.

Nearly seventy or eighty corpses were salvaged, brought ashore, and placed together, which was very miserable.

There are also some people who were washed away by the river and lost their bodies, which means they are missing, and the chance of survival is also not high.

"what--"

There were cries everywhere, and the surviving members of the Li family were wailing and crying.

"Our Li family is a dignified royal family, but it ended up like this. God, my ancestors, my ancestors, please open your eyes and see."

A surviving man surnamed Li is considered to be Li Yu's cousin and the royal family, and they are all descendants of Li Min.

And Gong'e and Wangfei survived, crying sadly while vomiting the river water in their stomachs.

At dusk that day, news of the shipwreck was sent to Jinling City by fast horses.

Cao Bin was also extremely surprised when he heard the news, and for a while, he didn't know what to say.

"Snapped!"

Pan Mei slapped the table and said angrily: "This Yang Shou, what is he doing to eat? He cannot absolve himself of the blame for such a disaster."

"Yeah, this Yang Shou has caused a catastrophe, how will it end!" Li Jixun was also deeply moved.

No one dared to get involved with this matter, because Li Yu and the Southern Tang royal family almost drowned in the crossing river within a day. The people of the Southern Tang Dynasty would definitely be emotional when they heard the news, and suspected that it was Song Jun himself. What I did was not to let the royal family of the Southern Tang Dynasty enter the Song Dynasty alive, so as to avoid future troubles.

As long as it is incited, it will definitely trigger the officers and soldiers of various states and counties in the Southern Tang Dynasty to continue to resist and continue to fight against the soldiers of the Song Dynasty in the name of revenge for Li Yu and others.

"This matter is indeed unexpected, unexpected, who did it behind the scenes?"

Cao Bin was full of doubts, but he couldn't guess who did it.

They are all military generals, not conspirator or strategist. It is difficult to guess this kind of conspiracy.

Li Jixun said: "Would it be the Khitan people who did it, or the people from the Shu Kingdom and the Southern Han Dynasty? Song Rong can't accept the surrendered king, this will make all the princes resist to the death, and it will also make the remaining dozen states of the Southern Tang Dynasty unite with the enemy."

"This is unknown. Send people to investigate all the boatmen and sailors that day, to see who are suspicious people, their origins, follow the clues, check the mastermind behind the scenes, and also explain to the officials. Otherwise, if our officials are furious in Bianjing, they will blame us too." Cao Bin sighed softly, feeling that things had become complicated and difficult.

Pan Mei analyzed: "This time the attack was too ruthless. It should be due to enmity with Li Yu and others, and the family will be exterminated directly. If you just want to blame Song Dynasty, you can assassinate Li Yu. There is no need to attack the entire Li family. Catch them all, and kill them."

Wang Shenqi said: "Jinling Ferry is guarded by Wuyue soldiers. It would be most convenient for them if they could change the manpower. Could it be that the Wuyue people hated the Li family and had feuds for generations, so this time they took the risk and asked the dead soldiers to kill them?"

He suspected that he fell in love with Wuyue people. After all, Wuyue Kingdom and Nantang had a feud, and they had been fighting each other for decades, and the grievances were deep.

"It's all possible, but we need evidence, so let's send someone to check it out."

Cao Bin feels that there is no basis for such analysis and suspicion, and there is no way to count them.

"Next, first control the ministers and generals in the city to prevent them from having extreme reactions after they get the news!"

"In addition, the people inside the city and the prisoners outside the city must be guarded, so as not to spread the news and cause mutiny and mutiny."

Cao Bin was worried that this incident would arouse the grief and indignation of the people in Jinling, and they would be emotionally agitated, and accidents might happen.

Pan Mei nodded: "What General Cao said is that what we are going to face is the people in the city and those ministers who surrendered."

Wang Shenqi stood up and said, "I'm going out of the city right now, and I'll lead people to take the captured Tang Army camp, strengthen the protection, and prevent the soldiers from getting news and making trouble."

After Cao Bin nodded, he looked at Li Jixun and said, "Mobilize people, strictly guard the gates of Jinling, and strengthen inspections in all streets. If you find any rioters, arrest them immediately and suppress them quickly."

"Yes!" Li Jixun embraced his orders.

Cao Bin glanced at Pan Mei again, and said, "Let's go and tell the surrenders of the Tang Kingdom. The news cannot be kept secret. Let us tell it on our own initiative, lest they become suspicious and be fanned."

"Okay, that's the only way to go." Pan Mei also got up and agreed to Cao Bin's suggestion.
