Chapter 944 The key to victory

General Cai said: "As far as I know, the Southern Tang has just received the news of Emperor Sejong's death, and is planning to send [-] troops to attack Zhou together with Dongying, Northern Han, Western Shu, and Tubo! I heard that this is what they negotiated a long time ago. Alright, the date of dispatching troops is marked by the death of Emperor Sejong!"

Feng Jiuxiao said: "When did Nan Tang know about Shizong's death?"

General Cai said: "As far as I know, it should be three days ago!"

Feng Jiuxiao said: "Doesn't that mean that Southern Tang is three days later than other dynasties when it wants to send troops?"

General Cai said: "It's more than three days late? Emperor Sejong actually passed away a month ago! And the spy who was in ambush in Da Zhou only flew a pigeon to deliver the letter three days ago!"

Feng Jiuxiao remained calm, "This spy's ability to inquire about information is a bit poor."

General Cai said: "The spy said that the news of Da Zhou was tightly blocked, and it took a lot of effort to find out!"

Feng Jiuxiao said: "Do people in Southern Tang believe it?"

General Cai had a strange expression on his face, "Commander, it's strange to say, they believed it!"

"Oh why?"

"Because the spy agencies of the five countries exchanged information in the past two days, they all came to a conclusion. The spies of the five countries only found out the news one after another in the past few days, and their calibers were surprisingly consistent! No one believed that they would be in collusion!"

Feng Jiuxiao snorted, "Well, it seems that Da Zhou's ability to block news is not bad!"

Pang Shiwu looked disdainful!It's just that Feng Jiuxiao saw it, but General Cai couldn't.

General Cai said: "However, what is strange is that the final confirmation from the Khitans in the Southern Tang Dynasty was that the Khitans had known the news of Sejong's death long ago, but they gave up their plan to attack Zhou together. According to Empress Dowager Xiao, it is now The son is weak and the minister is strong, so we have to settle the family first."

Feng Jiuxiao said: "Khitan said he would stop playing if he didn't play, and he didn't say hello to Nan Tang?"

General Cai said: "Exactly. I heard that the Emperor of the Southern Tang Dynasty was very angry. He was already seriously ill. He vomited blood on the spot when he heard the spies report what Empress Dowager Xiao meant!"

Pang Shiwu said: "Damn, this year is not good. Several emperors have died. Maybe the Southern Tang emperor will not live for a few days."

The emperor of the Northern Han Dynasty was "lost" by Liancheng, the emperor of the Southern Han Dynasty was "sent away" by Zhu Wu. It's really bad luck!
General Cai said: "The current situation that needs to be broken is that the [-] troops of the Southern Tang Dynasty are ready to go! They will attack the southern border of the Great Zhou in a few days!" This is really a big deal!

Feng Jiuxiao said: "Don't worry about this, they won't be able to fight for a while!"

General Cai's eyes flickered, "The commander seems to have a plan in his chest!"

Feng Jiuxiao said with a smile: "Of course! But this matter involves many military secrets, and it is not convenient to reveal them to you for the time being!" At that time, the secret envoys of the five countries had a secret meeting, and the secret envoys of the Southern Tang Dynasty were wearing purple clothes and hanging from their waists. Superb and proud of the Southern Tang Dynasty, Ramakrīrti!
Now Ramakrī and the secret envoys of the other four countries have become Feng Jiuxiao's bond slaves!
Naturally, he will not pass the news of Emperor Sejong's death back to Southern Tang in time!

Naturally, the other four people also "have a tacit understanding" and "advance and retreat together".Who can find the flaw between them?Who would have thought that five people would collude to confess?

The reason why Feng Jiuxiao has confidence is that even if the Five Kingdoms launch an attack, it doesn't matter. Information about every move of the Five Kingdoms soldiers and horses will appear in front of Wei Qiansui in time!
Feng Jiuxiao said: "What I want to do most now is to find that Li Yu!"

"Catch the thief first to capture the king?"

"That's right, he is the key among the keys. If you control him, whether it's Yue He or Geng Chuanshan, they're all wary. No matter how sharp the knife is in its sheath, it loses its function!"

"Like a tiger without claws, there is nothing to worry about, ha ha!"

"Then do you know where Li Yu is?"

"Everyone in Qingzhou City knows where Mr. Li lives! Naturally, I know better!"

"Okay, you will lead the way in a while! Fifteen, are you going to the city with me to find Li Yu first, or are you rushing to Yunmen Mountain for revenge?"

"Brother, you have the final say!"

"Catch Li Yu, first solve the major issue of the Southern Tang Dynasty, as for that Geng, Mr. Wu, they can't escape!" Even if the two of them run to the ends of the world, they can be caught!The most urgent task at the moment is how to resolve the problem of Southern Tang's attack on Da Zhou.

General Cai said: "I see that you still have six carriages, and there may be more than one friend in them, right? It's best to find a place for them to settle down and join them when we come back from work."

Feng Jiuxiao said: "It makes sense. So how about it, they all stay, and we go."

General Cai stared wide-eyed, "Just the two of us? There are so many masters around him, I think I will be killed if I can't make a move!"

Feng Jiuxiao said: "How can I increase the ambition of others and destroy my prestige?"

General Cai laughed at himself: "I still have self-knowledge!"

Feng Jiuxiao said: "I punched their Mr. Lu Lu, didn't you see?"

General Cai said: "I see."

Feng Jiuxiao said: "Then don't you see that my martial arts are very high?"

General Cai said: "I thought yours was not martial arts, because I didn't expect a person to be beaten into a blood mist! This does not conform to my perception! I have fought bloody battlefields for many years, and I have experienced hundreds of battles. I have never seen a person blown up. Turned into a blood mist! Even with bombardment, it’s just blown to bits and pieces, at least you can form a human shape. What kind of martial arts are you? It’s simply evil magic, too monstrous!”

Feng Jiuxiao said: "So you don't believe this is martial arts?"

General Cai nodded and said: "That's right! Mr. Lu's martial arts are extremely high. He has killed many people with a single palm. Those people's five internal organs were at most shattered and their seven orifices bleed. But I have never seen someone else be beaten into a blood mist with one palm." A windy scene!
Feng Jiuxiao chuckled and said, "I'll get used to it when I see it too much. Then let's do this first. General Cai and I went to catch Li Yu, and you stay put!"

Pang Shiwu said: "What about the antidote for pepper?"

Feng Jiuxiao said: "I almost forgot the antidote for chili peppers, why don't you go to Yunmen Mountain with Brother Wang and Brother Duanmu?"

Wang Sheng said: "Brothers Fifteen are injured. The three of us ventured into the mountains and some of us are alone. The risk is very high. Moreover, it is very dangerous for us to leave only Miss Yuan and Miss Xiong. Miss Xiong was also seriously injured. I It means that everyone better not act separately!"

Pang Shiwu thought about it, and said to Feng Jiuxiao: "Brother, hurry up and come back, I'll wait for you."

Feng Jiuxiao said: "Good!"

Raise the whip and spur the horse, and the two ride away!

Ye Liqing said: "Why do you seem to know everything? As a Southern Tang person, why don't I know that Southern Tang is going to fight Da Zhou?"

Lao Zhang said: "In fact, this battle will be fought sooner or later!"

"why?"

"Because the foreshadowing was laid two years ago!"

"What do you mean?"

"Emperor Shizong of the Great Zhou Dynasty had the same ambition to dominate the world as the Lord of the Southern Tang Dynasty. Zhou Shizong adopted the minister Wang Pu's strategy of going south and then north, and led the army to attack our Southern Tang Dynasty. That time we led the army to meet the enemy. Liu Yanzhen, the Emperor Shizong of the Great Zhou Dynasty, marched in person, and the whole journey was like a broken bamboo. Zhao Kuangyin, the capital of Yu in front of the Great Zhou Palace, also joined the battle, attacked Qingliu Pass and Chuzhou, and captured Huangfuhui and Yao Feng alive. The horse troops of the Great Zhou Dynasty all commanded Han Lingkun to capture Yangzhou. The Southern Tang Dynasty lost successively and sent envoys to seek peace, but Zhou Shizong wanted to get all the land in the north of the Yangtze River, so he would not allow it. The lord of our dynasty, Li Jing, appointed Qi Wang Li Jingda as the marshal, the privy envoy Chen Jue as the envoy of the supervising army, and Bian Hao as the envoy of the reinforcements , led [-] troops to fight against the Zhou army. In April, he entered Liuhe and was defeated by Zhao Kuangyin. In May, Zhou Shizong left Li Chongjin and others to continue to besiege Shouzhou. Shouzhou has not fallen for many years, and finally withdrew its troops. In that battle, I lost all my soldiers and generals in the Southern Tang Dynasty, and lost all the northern lands, so the king swore to avenge this! Now that the five-nation alliance is participating in the charitable act, it is naturally a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity in the Southern Tang Dynasty! "

Ye Liqing frowned and said: "In terms of comprehensive national strength, the Southern Tang Dynasty can be said to be the top of the ten kingdoms. Yang Wu, Western Shu, Southern Chu, Southern Han, Wuyue, Fujian, Northern Han, and Nanping are simply one. A country is not as good as a country, only Da Zhou and us are roughly equal, we may not lose if we wrestle with Da Zhou, why did we really lose?"

Lao Zhang also said with emotion: "I have traveled far and wide, and I feel that the economic strength of Nantang is even far higher than that of Dazhou. If two tigers compete, it is reasonable for me to lose in Nantang. Now I don't understand!"

But Pang Shiwu interjected: "If you have seen the Northwest Wolf and Luoyang Tiger of Dazhou, you will naturally know the reason."

Ye Liqing looked at Pang Shiwu with some doubts and said: "You mean that the northerners are martial artists, which is why there is such a big difference in military strength between the north and the south?"

"I don't dare to say whether this is the reason, but since ancient times, wars unified from north to south won nine out of ten battles, and wars unified from south to north lost nine out of ten battles. Although this is not all determined by the differences in the combat power of individual soldiers. , but the combat power of individual soldiers does account for a large part of the factor! This is also the reason why the Khitan cavalry is the most powerful in the world! They are tall and powerful, with strong bows and arrows. Eight out of ten Khitans can fight On the battlefield, if you pick up a hoe, the peasants can farm the land, and if you pick up the bow and arrow, the soldiers can kill! And our soldiers in the Central Plains are soldiers, and farmers are farmers. The city is destroyed and the country is destroyed! A soldier is defeated, and the country is completely destroyed! Therefore, it is not necessarily a good thing for the common people to be rich. Swords and guns are stored in the warehouse, horses are released in Nanshan, singing and dancing every day, in the eyes of the ambitious wolf-like Khitan people. It's like a big piece of fat meat ready to be slaughtered! If their covetous heart is not dead, the Central Plains will never be peaceful! Therefore, every wise king should actively expand the army to prepare for war, increase strength, improve the combat effectiveness of the army, and improve the ability to defend the country! "

"It seems that Emperor Sejong has taken the lead in this aspect. The army of the Great Zhou Dynasty is much stronger than the army of the Southern Tang Dynasty!"

Duanmuyan suddenly thought of Zhang Zilu.

"Don't you know he borrowed the five thousand cavalry?"
