Five Dynasties River Mountains Fengyue

Chapter 467
Jiangning Palace City is located to the east of Jiangning Fuya, and further east is Wuhui Mansion.

The Inner Qinhuai River crosses the inner city, and the painted boats move slowly and are very lively. Looking from a distance, it looks like a brilliant galaxy falling on the world.

From the northeast to the southwest, the imperial street crosses the Qinhuai River in the city. The lights are dim, people come and go, and it is very lively. The south corner of the imperial city is towering, with bright red lanterns hanging all over the corner, overlooking most of Jiangning City.

The Longguang Gate in the west of the city, and the Changqian Bridge in the south of the city, you can have a panoramic view of the prosperity. Compared with Daliang, this place is just smaller, Lu Duoxun thought to himself.

When I came back to my senses, there was a strong night breeze on the top of the turret, there was a staggering of wine and wine, singing and dancing, and laughter.

There are precious Sichuan brocades everywhere in the corners of the buildings in the distance, and there are many jeweled glass cups, grapes and wines, delicacies, and delicacies during the banquet.

He had never enjoyed such dignity and luxury in Daliang.

Lu Duoxun couldn't help thinking that most of these precious Shu brocades were bought from the land of Shu, which is a great thing for Qin.

There is no such enjoyment in Daliang, the official family will entertain them, but whether it is the dazzling array of dishes or the graceful beauty, the official family's ostentation is far inferior to that of Jiangnan.

But in terms of armored soldiers, taxation of fields, territory and population, Qin State is far superior to Tang State.

He didn't think about whether it was the decline caused by extravagant enjoyment, or the decline caused extravagant enjoyment, and he didn't think about making progress.

But when his thoughts returned a bit, Zhang Ji, Liu Cheng and others had already greeted them with wine, and Lu Duoxun immediately started talking with them enthusiastically.

When he came to Jiangnan this time, he made many friends. Among them, Liu Cheng was the confidant of the lord Li Yu, and so was Zhang Ji.

He has been traveling with the army all these years, and has seen many people, and he has a judgment in his heart. Liu Cheng is just a flattering person, but Li Yu thinks he is very talented and insightful, probably just right.

He only thought about these things in his heart.

After saying something, the king over there wanted to see him, and he passed by.

The most important part of this banquet is to see him off, because the government has already sent someone to ask him to return to Daliang at the end of the month.

He knew in his heart that this meant that the officials were preparing to attack Tang, so they would let him go first. Moreover, it was already summer, and when the water was dry in autumn and winter, it would be a good time for the army to cross the river.

But on the surface, she remained calm and chatted happily with everyone, and even when she came to the king and was treated by the honored guest, he showed a reluctant attitude and said: "Thanks to the hospitality of the king, if it weren't for the king's life, I would I am not willing to leave this land of gold and jade in the south of the Yangtze River, the land of fish and rice."

Everyone was also very touched. Lu Duoxun didn't have much official authority and airs in Jiangnan, so he got along well with them.

Originally, everyone thought that Ludoxun would be difficult to serve.

In the end, Li Yu personally raised the lamp to him, and then said: "I hope that the envoy will explain to the emperor our obedience and intention after returning to Daliang.

As a vassal state, Jiangnan has always looked forward to the leadership of a big country. If there is any order in the future, as long as the emperor expresses it, we will do it with all our heart.

Every year, I don't dare to neglect the yearly money for offerings, and I will definitely present it. If there is any delay, it may be due to road blockage, so I can send envoys to ask questions.

Furthermore, the king of Wuyue has enmity with us, he has always been treacherous, I hope the emperor will not trust them. "

Lu Duoxun nodded: "Don't worry, my lord, I receive a lot of hospitality in your country, I understand the situation here best, and I also know Jiangnan's sincerity, and I will definitely explain it to the officials when I go back.

Please also rest assured, the Lord, I have never sent troops to the court to bully the weak with guns, but with reasons and evidence.

Liu Wei was arrogant and conceited. The Liao Kingdom and the Northern Han Dynasty repeatedly provoked and sent troops on their own initiative.

But like today's Jiangnan, Wuyue, our dynasty has never intended to add troops, the name of the suzerain has been determined, and the king can feel at ease. "

Lu Duoxun comforted him one after another, feeling deeply moved in his heart. After being in Southern Tang for so long, he felt more and more that Li Yu had no ambitions and indecision. That way of killing and cutting decisively, opening up the frontier and expanding the territory.

He wants to have fun in peace, but he is unwilling to be inferior to others; he wants to restore Li's Tang Dynasty, but he doesn't have the ability and courage.

After thinking about it, I can only say that "the heart is higher than the sky, and the will is thinner than the paper". People who are so vacillating generally do not end well.

During the banquet, he comforted Li Yu again and again, and comforted him with various reasons, Qin would never send troops.

In such an atmosphere, it is natural for the host and guest to enjoy themselves.

On the surface, Lu Duoxun chatted happily with everyone, but he was thinking about how to make meritorious service. He had been trying to find a way to get the Tujing (map) of the Tang Dynasty, but it was unreasonable to ask Li Yu directly. will be exposed.

But he really wanted to make this contribution.

After the farewell banquet, he was going back to Daliang tomorrow. In the middle of the night, Lu Duoxun couldn't fall asleep thinking about it. When he was tossing and turning, he suddenly had an idea.

The next morning, the Lord of the Southern Tang Dynasty prepared many precious gifts for Lu Duoxun, including a box of gold.

Lu Duoxun refused again and again and accepted, and then Nantang sent soldiers to escort him across the river, and Liu Cheng, the confidant of the king, also came to see him off.

Many officials who got along well with him or wanted to please the Qin State all went outside Jiangning City to see him off.

His boat didn't set off until after noon, and when it arrived in the middle of the river, Lu Duosun suddenly seemed to remember something, slapped his head and said to Liu Cheng who was sending him across the river: "I almost forgot about the incident, turn back quickly!"

Seeing his posture, the other party even asked the soldiers to turn around, and then went back.

Afterwards, Lu Duoxun hurried back to meet Li Yu, and after apologizing again, he said: "Before, the officials said that they wanted to repair the Tianxia Tujing (map), but now only Jiangnan is missing. I told me to take it back, but I almost forgot it. Hereby Come back and ask the king for it."

He said it as if it was a casual thing, and he just remembered it.

Li Yu didn't doubt that there was him. When he heard that Shi Congyun called for it, he didn't dare to delay at all. He even ordered the people from the Imperial Academy to draw it, and he didn't doubt anything else.

First of all, Lu Duoxun got along very well with the monarchs and ministers of the Southern Tang Dynasty, like friends.

Secondly, he turned back suddenly when he arrived in the heart of the river, like something he remembered inadvertently, and no one became suspicious.

After waiting for another two days, the officials of the Southern Tang Imperial Academy finished drawing the scriptures and handed them over to Lu Duoxun, who then left and returned to Daliang.

In June of that year, after Emperor Shi prepared the army, prepared the plan for crossing the river, and prepared the logistics supplies, Lu Duoxun, who had returned from an envoy to the south, brought him great news. Don's map.

This matter can be said to have surprised Emperor Shi the most. After comparing it with the Privy Council and Wu Desi, he was also very pleasantly surprised. The map is so detailed!Just like works of art, the Southern Tang Dynasty is indeed a country with a strong artistic atmosphere. The king took the lead in art, and the officials of the Imperial Academy below were all good at it.

With this map written by the emperors and ministers of the Southern Tang Dynasty, their army attacking the Southern Tang Dynasty will no longer be afraid of getting lost!

Immediately after that, he ordered the people from the Ministry of Industry to reproduce it, and then distributed it to the various armies.

So far, after two years, the army, logistical supplies, logistical bases, plans to cross the river, enemy intelligence, and diplomatic paralysis have all remained intact.

Before the start of this great war, Emperor Shi had tried his best to achieve perfection.

And the time unknowingly arrived at the end of summer and early autumn.

Autumn and winter are the time to send troops.
