The first prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 1289 Li Yu's Rejection

"Brother, do we still have contacts with Da Song?" Although Feng Yanlu is also an official, he is really far behind his brother.

"No, let's do it as usual. We can neither offend Song Dynasty nor Nantang. Now Nantang is uncharacteristically. To be honest, I have no idea, so let's wait and see." Feng Yansi also watched at this time. I don't know the situation anymore. In the past, he was optimistic about Da Song because of his strength. Now he thinks that Da Tang also has potential, and he took Dali down at once. You must know that the land of Da Tang is not small, and he will not let Da Song in the slightest. of.

"The envoy of Song Dynasty asked us to help, what should we do?"

"Second brother, we just report based on the facts, you know, otherwise it will be very troublesome in the future, so don't show any favoritism!"

Liu Qinhu didn't know what Feng Yansi and his brothers were saying here. He had already returned to the Song Dynasty's camp. They were going to see Li Yu tomorrow. Time was running out and they didn't have so much time on the road Moji, and our Li Yu is entertaining the hero of the Tang Dynasty, Lin Renzhao.

"Lin Aiqing, you are really a hero of my Tang Dynasty. Come here to offer a toast to you. Without you, my Tang Dynasty can't be proud, so I want to thank you."

Li Yu was indeed happy, and drank a few more glasses, his face was a little rosy, and he was very happy.

"The lord has praised you. These are what veteran officials should do. It is already a great blessing for the lord not to blame the lord for violating his authority. How dare the lord deserve the praise of the lord." Lin Renzhao immediately knelt down in fright .

"Liu Aiqing, what are you doing? Hurry up. I never said I blamed you. Hurry up." After speaking, Li Yu pulled Lin Renzhao down.

"In fact, some ministers in the court said that you, Lin Renzhao, dispatched troops without permission to destroy a country. If this was a capital offense before!"

"My lord..." Lin Renzhao wanted to kneel down again.

"Hey, I ordered you to sit like this. I didn't say you were guilty. I just said some opinions of the ministers, but they didn't know that the general really had a gap in his heart."

"The general's orders are not accepted. You can take Dali back to my Tang Dynasty without hesitation. This is all thanks to the general. Tell me quickly how you took back Dali without bloodshed. You didn't mention it in the memorial. explain."

Instead of blaming Lin Renzhao, Li Yu asked him to talk about the specific details of the war, as if this was what he cared about, and Lin Renzhao heaved a sigh of relief.

I talked to Li Yu about the specific details of this soldier's Dali, but it's actually nothing. Datang really didn't bother this time, and these are Lin Renzhao's proud works.

"You mean that all the members of the royal family in Dali have become monks, and those ministers are now on their way to Jinling. That's good. You've done a good job. I will confer you the title of Grand Master in the Golden Palace tomorrow to commend your deeds." Merit."

Taishi was the head of the ancient Sangong, most of them were empty positions, and did not have much authority. It was just a title of honor, and it could be said to be the most expensive.

"Thank you, my lord."

"Get well, I want to remind you that this kind of private deployment of troops must never happen again in the future, otherwise I will not be able to protect you. General Lin, do you understand what I mean?"

Taking advantage of this time, Li Yu actually gave him a straightforward warning, which was considered a beating from him.

"I will keep in mind the teachings of the lord, and I will devote myself to being loyal to the lord." Lin Renzhao also did not hesitate, and directly began to express his loyalty.

"Okay, I believe in you, otherwise I wouldn't be here to prepare these dishes for you, come and sit down, these dishes are made by the imperial chef according to your taste, you can't live up to my heart. "

Not to mention that Li Yu sometimes really buys people's hearts. This sentence has a lot of lethality. Can the courtier not be grateful?

"If we have anything to say, let's finish eating first. Besides, even if there are important things, it's not at this moment, right?" Li Yu immediately said such a thing when he saw Lin Renzhao wanted to say something else.

After drinking for three rounds and eating five flavors, Lin Renzhao couldn't bear it anymore, and said directly to Li Yu: "Is there anything you want to say?"

"Haha, I just found out that you have something to say all the time, okay, do you have something to say, I'm all ears."

"I don't dare, I just want to know that the king didn't have any ideas when the Song Dynasty attacked the Southern Han Dynasty. In the previous stage, the king even wrote a letter to the Han emperor Liu Yu. I think this is very inappropriate."

"What's wrong? I just wrote a letter to Liu Yu, and I just wrote a letter instead of Da Song as a messenger. Why did the general say that?" Li Yu wondered, didn't he just write a letter? letter?
"My lord, please forgive me for being rude. My lord is a bit rash in this matter. This is not good for us Tang." Lin Renzhao said angrily.

"Oh, I really don't feel it, you might as well talk about it."

"My lord, it's easy to understand. Look, if the Song Dynasty in the Northern Kingdom wins, the next target should be our Tang Dynasty. Is this obvious? If the Southern Han Dynasty wins, we have persuaded them to surrender. Do you think the Southern Han Dynasty will respond? Do we have a good face? At that time, we had wolves in front and tigers in back, and the situation was more dangerous than the current situation."

What Lin Renzhao said was very simple, but Li Yu understood it. He didn't think of such a simple truth at the time!
Seeing Li Yu's serious face, Lin Renzhao took the opportunity to say:
"I sent people to observe it. The Song Dynasty in the north is now attacking the Southern Han with all its heart. The Huainan army is very weak. The Song Dynasty has used troops year after year to pacify Xishu, Jinghu, and Lingnan successively. Traveling thousands of miles, the soldiers are tired. This is just a good opportunity. It is an opportunity. Your Majesty only needs to give the minister tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, and the minister will be able to capture Huainan."

The Huainan mentioned by Lin Renzhao was the territory ceded by the Southern Tang Dynasty to Hou Zhou, and it has always been a pain for the Southern Tang Dynasty.

"Your Majesty can declare to the outside world that your ministers rebelled. If you succeed, Huainan will be owned by the state. If you lose, your majesty will destroy my whole family. This means that your majesty does not know."

Lin Renzhao even thought about Li Yu's future. If he wins, Datang can recover his own land. If he fails, he is willing to take all the responsibilities. Such people are really rare. If Zhao Kuangyin hears such words, he will definitely I will be moved, but Lin Renzhao's master is not Zhao Kuangyin, but Li Yu.

"What, no, this will bring disaster to the whole country. I think Song Dynasty will not be unprepared. Maybe he will wait for us to go. I will not allow you to do this. I will be responsible for the entire Tang Dynasty, General Lin You are tired too, go and rest quickly."

Li Yu didn't even think about it, and refused directly. Li Yu was still afraid. He didn't know that his fear caused him to lose a good opportunity. This opportunity is really rare, that is, as Lin Renzhao said, Da Song really The troops are weak, but these are not what Li Yu can grasp. If he sends troops at this time, maybe Da Song will be in trouble, but he doesn't.

Li Yu's refusal not only rejected Lin Renzhao, but also rejected the rise of his own country.
