The first prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 1396 Homecoming
"Everything in Jinling is now in our hands. As for when to attack the city, you must follow my commander's instructions. During this period, I hope that all the generals will strictly discipline the soldiers under each banner and not kill innocent people indiscriminately. Harm the people, do you understand?"

"Follow the general's orders!"

Cao Bin and the others didn't know why Zhao Xu gave the order not to attack Jinling. If they didn't understand, they didn't understand, but they still carried out the order.

Cao Bin was reiterating his order, because some people had become irritable recently, and some soldiers wanted to attack Jinling directly, so Cao Bin had no choice but to issue an order today.

"Your Highness, if this continues, it will really be a blow to our morale. We can't wait like this forever?" Cao Bin also vomited bitterness in front of Zhao Xu.

"Don't worry, do you think there is still a way to survive in Jinling? Let me tell you, within ten days Li Yu will naturally go out and surrender, and come to you obediently. Do you believe it? It's us who won't fight without fighting. In the end, I don't think Li Yu can last long."

Zhao Xu just didn't want to do anything anymore, so he surrounded Jinling without attacking it, and didn't restrict the lives of the people in the city. He just exhausted the savings in the city little by little.

Isn't Jinling City a dead city without food and grass? It's hard for Li Yu not to surrender.

"By the way, what happened to Cao Bin's Zhu Lingyun? It's been so long, hasn't he surrendered yet?"

At the beginning, the main force of the Song army broke through the Qinhuai River and encircled Jiangning in the Southern Tang Dynasty, and then conquered the peripheral states with the strategy of besieging the city and fighting for aid.

Li Yu, the lord of the Southern Tang Dynasty, urgently dispatched Zhu Lingyun who was stationed in Hukou to rescue him. Zhu Lingyun immediately led his army to reinforce after receiving the order.

However, the Song army had made sufficient preparations so that Zhu Lingyun would run into obstacles everywhere, and he was afraid to go east because he was worried about the end of the Song army.

At this time, Chen Hongjin occupied Jiangning with his army. At this time, Zhu Lingyun led an army of 15 from Hukou, boarded a raft with a length of more than [-] feet and a large ship with a capacity of [-] people, and went down the Yangtze River in an attempt to burn down the pontoon bridge quarried by the Song army.

Zhu Lingyun sailed alone on a large ship to Wankou and was suddenly intercepted by Liu Yu's army. Zhu Lingyun was unable to break through the Song army's defense at all, and the two sides launched a big battle

During the fierce battle, Zhu Lingyun used kerosene to attack the warship of Song Dynasty, and the Song army was almost out of support; when the wind turned, the fire turned back and burned Zhu army, and they collapsed without fighting.

Zhu Lingyun fled, but his army was still fighting against the Song army. Although these people could not shake the foundation of the Song army, they were still a troublesome matter.

"Your Highness, he has been surrounded in Wankou now. I have sent someone to make him surrender, but this person is still loyal to Southern Tang and refuses to surrender. We are going to eliminate these people?"

Cao Bin didn't care about Zhu Lingyun before, but at this time he has become the most loyal person.

"He also said that the tens of thousands of people he leads are ready to sacrifice their lives for their lord. I think these people are stubborn people. I don't think His Highness needs to keep such people."

Cao Bin suggested, it's not that Cao Bin is cruel. On the battlefield, such an opponent is not the most terrifying, and he is not afraid of death. When Song Jun faced him, he suffered a lot.

"Such people are loyal on the one hand, but they are foolish and loyal. Zhu Lingyun has no general talent, but he will bring us a lot of trouble. Just figure it out."

If Zhu Lingyun had some talent, Zhao Xu might let him go, but he really doesn't have much talent, and his reputation is not good, so he will die if he dies.

"Cao Bin asked Zhu Lingyun to surrender, otherwise let him go where he should go, and give Li Yu an ultimatum to let him go out of the city and surrender."

After Zhao Xu finished speaking, he walked out without ordering anything else. He came here temporarily.

"Deputy General Fan, you can arrange this matter. Jinling is your hometown. I heard that Li Yu didn't reuse you and put you in prison. Now I will send you to Jinling City. How dare you go?"

For Li Yu to surrender, Fan Ruoshui couldn't be more suitable. Cao Bin also wanted to give Fan Ruoshui a face, or a chance to return home. He knew something about Fan Ruoshui.

"Thank you, General. What is there to fear in a small Jinling City? Fan Ruoshui is willing to enter the city alone and persuade Li Yu to surrender!" Fan Ruoshui's entry into the city was only a secret a few days ago, but this time he can be aboveboard.

"Did you instruct Cao Bin to let Ruoshui go, or why did Cao Bin ask Ruoshui to go by name?" Wanwan and Zhao Xu did not go far, and heard their conversation.

"This is always a stone in Ruoshui's heart. I just let him stand in front of Li Yu openly, and Li Yu still has nothing to do with him, and I want one person to see that the person she despises can influence South China to a certain extent. Don's fate."

The person Zhao Xu was talking about was Zhou Ehuang's mother and also Zhou Jiamin's mother. She had saved Zhao Xu's life, but she had a fatal flaw that she looked down on people. When Fan Ruoshui went to the city to see Zhou Jiamin a few days ago, He was scolded as a toad wanting to eat swan meat.

In fact, he is not the first one, there is another person that is Zhao Kuangyin. Zhao Kuangyin liked Zhou Ehuang back then, but Zhao Kuangyin was still a poor boy at that time, and he was also ridiculed.

Now it was Fan Ruoshui's turn. Zhao Xu couldn't say anything to such an old man, he could only show him the facts.

"There can't be too many people going this time. We can follow. I want to see Li Yu's expression when he sees Ruoshui. Liu Qinhu, you go with Ruoshui and protect him personally."

Although Fan Ruoshui was the representative of Song Dynasty, Li Yu didn't dare to do anything to him, but he couldn't guarantee that someone would do everything to kill him. Liu Qinhu was safe by his side.

Liu Qinhu would not disobey Zhao Xu's orders in any way, so he reported to Fan Ruoshui directly.

"Ruoshui this time, you really returned home in good clothes. Your Highness said that this time you will show the majesty of my Great Song. No matter what you do, he will support you. From now on, you will represent the Great Song."

Fan Ruoshui was moved. It was Zhao Xu who made him famous in Jinling and let Li Yu know how blind he was back then.

At the beginning, Fan Ruoshui wanted to follow Li Yu, but was treated like that by Li Yu. If Fan Ruoshui appeared in front of Li Yu now, what kind of expression would Li Yu have?

"Ruoshui, you just need to know. Can you tell Li Yu directly what you want to say this time? You represent the Song Dynasty, your majesty, and the prince. Your highness said that you will return home in good clothes."

Liu Qinhu continued.

Fan Ruoshui knew that it was Li Yu who was helping him, and returned home in good clothes, so that people could see how much that young man had achieved at this time, and it was Mr. Zhao who treated me better.
