The first-class concubine of the Song Dynasty

Chapter 246 Commands
The autumn wind is bleak.

Qingyuan County.

Chen Hongjin stood on the tower and looked at the Southern Tang soldiers in the distance, and couldn't help but spit: "*****, we haven't provoked Li Yu in these years, why would he send someone to besiege us?"

An old man stood next to Chen Hongjin. The old man had a short beard and he stroked it before speaking: "My lord, then Li Yu was very helpless by the envoys of the Song Dynasty recently. He wanted to provoke them because he didn't want to go to Bianjing city." .”

Chen Hongjin frowned slightly: "Then don't provoke us!"

The old man smiled: "It's okay, from the point of view of his subordinates, Li Yu doesn't want to fight a tough battle with us. I don't know if my lord has discovered it. Li Yu didn't order anyone to cut off our water source, and there is a chance of survival in everything."

"So what? We're living well here, but he suddenly came to attack them, what's the matter?" Chen Hongjin was a little angry. Over the years, he had been dealing with the Song Dynasty and the Southern Tang Dynasty, and his life was already very difficult. But now there is a conflict between Southern Tang and Great Song, but he is used as a shield.

However, even though Chen Hongjin said so, he calmed down quickly. To be able to survive under such conditions, it is impossible without some skills. After thinking about it, Chen Hongjin said: "Mr. Liu, what do you think we should do now? "

The old man thought for a while: "As long as Nantang doesn't go too far, we don't have to fight with it. In today's world, we can only preserve our strength. If Nantang wants to destroy us, then we can only ask Song for help. With our strength, we won't last long."

Chen Hongjin nodded: "Mr. Liu is very thoughtful, just to understand our situation, why don't we ask Da Song for help now?"

"No!"

"Why not?"

"Now Southern Tang doesn't really intend to destroy us. If we ask Da Song for help, it's one thing whether Da Song is willing to send troops. It's another matter if Southern Tang really wants to destroy us. Now ask for help. Too risky."

Chen Hongjin thought for a while, and felt that the old man's words were reasonable, and said, "Okay, let's spend time with Nan Tang first."

Chen Hongjin wanted to spend so much time with Nantang, except that it was inconvenient for the people in the city to go out of the city, they didn't lack for anything.

But what they didn't expect was that on the second day, the soldiers of Nantang suddenly launched a violent attack, which was powerful enough to destroy the city.

Chen Hongjin was furious, he quickly sent people out of the siege to seek help from Da Song, while on the other side, he quickly organized the soldiers in the city to block Nan Tang's attack.

When the war started, the killing continued.

When the news that the soldiers of the Southern Tang Dynasty suddenly attacked and killed Qingyuan County reached Li Yu's ears, Li Yu was shocked. Didn't he order people to just surround the city of Qingyuan County? Why did they suddenly kill them?
Li Yu was very angry, and he ordered Lin Renzhao to be called.

"General Lin, what's going on?"

Lin Renzhao had already been arranged by Li Congshan, so he quickly knelt down and said, "Master, when Chen Hongjin saw that he was surrounded, he wanted to break out of the siege and killed many soldiers in the Southern Tang Dynasty. It's not whether we want to fight, but whether we want to fight or not." Had to fight."

Li Yu didn't care about political affairs, and he didn't care much about the military. Now that he heard what Lin Renzhao said, he understood what was going on. After understanding what was going on, Li Yu was a little angry and said coldly: "This Chen Hongjin is really brave, Lin General, send an order to destroy Chen Hongjin and take back Qingyuan County, but... don't take it too fast, we still have to deal with Liu Wei."

Lin Renzhao said again and again that he was very dangerous when he went down, but fortunately nothing happened.

But it said that not long after Lin Renzhao left the palace, Zhang Ji rushed into the palace in a hurry.

Zhang Ji was very anxious, he never imagined that the plan that was originally planned to encircle Qingyuan County suddenly changed, how did it really become a plan to destroy Chen Hongjin?

No, Zhang Ji is one of the few people in Southern Tang who knows the situation well. Southern Tang and Chen Hongjin can't fight to the death, not to mention that doing so will seriously damage Southern Tang's vitality, and it may also bring disaster to Southern Tang.

After entering the palace, Zhang Ji immediately asked what was going on. Li Yu had never seen Zhang Ji so flustered, so he quickly said what Lin Renzhao said just now, and said that Chen Hongjin didn't know what to do, so he could use this kill him.

Zhang Ji's expression was slightly condensed, and he said: "My lord, Chen Hongjin can't be destroyed. He has already surrendered to the Song Dynasty. If we destroy him recklessly, he can only stick to it. At that time, our Southern Tang Dynasty will definitely suffer heavy losses. The Song Dynasty used an excuse to attack me in the Southern Tang Dynasty, this battle must not be fought like this."

"Ah!" Li Yu was a little shocked. He didn't expect the matter to be so serious, so he quickly asked, "Zhang Aiqing, you...what do you think we should do?"

Zhang Ji thought for a while, and didn't answer Li Yu's words first, but said: "Although Chen Hongjin took refuge in Song Dynasty, he never thought of going to Bianjing to be a courtier, so as long as we don't launch a violent attack on him, he will definitely not follow us." Desperate, I'm afraid there will be something wrong with this matter."

"What does Zhang Aiqing mean?"

"I'm afraid that our people attacked the city first, and Chen Hongjin fought with us."

Hearing Zhang Ji's words, Li Yu's expression immediately changed. He has no intention of political affairs, but this does not mean that he is a political idiot. From Zhang Ji's words, he can't hear that someone wants to fight with Chen Hongjin, and then draw out Great Song's First Battle.

"Damn it, who dared to disobey the order of the country's lord and fight Chen Hongjin at will?"

"Lin Renzhao!"

"Lin Renzhao?"

"That's right, Lin Renzhao had long wanted to fight Da Song and take back Huainan, but the lord of the country has been reluctant to start a war with Da Song, so he thought of such a way."

"Damn it, this country mainly killed him."

Zhang Ji hurriedly stopped and said: "No, you must have evidence to kill him, otherwise the king will kill people casually, and it will be difficult to convince the public."

"What should I do?"

"Send someone to monitor the Lin family."
-
Liu Wei soon found out that Nantang and Chen Hongjin were really fighting.

After Liu Wei knew about this, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth. He felt that this was a great opportunity to eliminate the main combat faction of the Southern Tang Dynasty.

After calling Zhugepi, Liu Wei hurriedly wrote a letter, handed it to Zhugepi, and ordered: "Let the people who have been wandering around Linren Zhaolin's mansion take this letter to wander around again, but this time we must show It is more urgent, so that people can clearly see that he wants to enter the Lin residence."

"My lord, this is it?"

"Murder with a borrowed knife."

After hearing this, Zhuge Pi immediately understood.

"Don't worry, my lord, this subordinate will do it now."

After Zhugepi left, Liu Wei smiled slightly. Originally, he wanted to get rid of Lin Renzhao, but his original method was not this way, and it would not be so early. He originally wanted Li Congshan's people to get the letter he wrote to Lin Renzhao. The content of the letter was nothing more than these, so Lin Renzhao hurriedly persuaded Li Yu to attack the Song Dynasty, and as a vanguard, he could turn against him before the battle and so on.

In other words, Liu Wei wanted Li Congshan to believe that Lin Renzhao had already surrendered to the Song Dynasty, and his main battle behavior was just to lure the emperor into the urn.

Originally, this method would be used when the reputation of the main combat faction of the Southern Tang Dynasty was greatly enhanced. Liu Wei didn't know when, but because of the great battle between the Southern Tang Dynasty and Chen Hongjin, he could implement his plan in advance.

The letter was written to Lin Renzhao, and the content was somewhat different from Liu Wei's previous plan. The content of this letter was as follows: Lin Renzhao was asked to intensify his attacks on Chen Hongjin, and then forced Chen Hongjin to seek help from Song Dynasty first. , Song just had an excuse to send troops to Southern Tang.

In the letter, Lin Renzhao was still regarded as someone who had surrendered to the Song Dynasty early, and everything Lin Renzhao did was done in accordance with the requirements of the Song Dynasty.

However, Liu Wei knew very well that the letter he wrote would not fall into Lin Renzhao's hands, but Li Yu's. As long as it fell into Li Yu's hands, Lin Renzhao would be finished.

It was late autumn, and everything began to wither, but Lin Renzhao liked this season very much. He felt that this season was very bleak, and reminded him of gold and iron horses on the battlefield.

Just when Lin Renzhao was thinking this way, what he didn't know was that a spy from the Song Dynasty was arrested by the people Li Yu sent to monitor the Lin family.

And a letter was found from such a big Song spy.

The letter was quickly sent to the palace. Li Yu was furious after seeing it, and immediately sent someone to arrest Lin Renzhao and put him in prison.

Lin Renzhao didn't understand what was going on at all, but he vaguely felt that it might be that Li Yu realized that it was exposed that he violated the order and let the soldiers of the Southern Tang Dynasty attack Chen Hongjin.

And because of this feeling, he didn't cry out for being wronged, he just thought that Li Congshan might save him.

Li Congshan soon learned the news that Lin Renzhao was imprisoned. When Li Congshan heard the news, the first thing Li Congshan thought of was that they let the Southern Tang soldiers attack Chen Hongjin. Li Yu felt that someone dared to violate his order, so The very angry celebrity put Lin Renzhao in prison.

When Li Congshan had this idea, he was at a loss. Should he save Lin Renzhao or not?

If he saves, how should he save it? If he makes a move, will Li Yu consider him an accomplice?
He was still very puzzled, didn't he already teach Lin Renzhao what to say when he saw Li Yu, but how could he still be found out? Could it be that he is so stupid that he can even say this?

Just when Li Congshan thought this way, the palace sent someone to invite him into the palace.

Li Congshan was taken aback, and quickly asked the eunuch who came from the palace: "Who did the lord call?"

"Basically all the ministers of the court and the central government have called. The king is very angry today. After the prince has gone, he should be careful."

Li Congshan's heart sank, and he thought to himself, could it be that Lin Renzhao had confessed himself, if that was the case, this trip to the palace would be extremely dangerous, could it be a Hongmen banquet?

"Thank you eunuch for reminding me, eunuch please go first, after I have made some preparations, I will rush to the palace immediately."
