The first-class concubine of the Song Dynasty

Chapter 514 Crusade against Wu Yue
Beijing.

There is an indescribable tranquility in the capital city in midsummer. Because of the heat, there are few pedestrians on the street.

The afternoon sun was so fierce that the boys in the shops in the streets and alleys rested their chins and yawned once and for all, and a cat was lying lazily on the season in front of the door.

The occasional humming of cicadas broke the tranquility, but it made the capital seem even more secluded.

But at this time, a sound like thunder suddenly came from somewhere in the capital, but after hearing this sound, the people in the capital all came out of their homes and shops. They looked at each other and discussed, not knowing what's going on.

"Just now... was that sound thunder?"

"It does sound like thunder, but why did the thunder appear somewhere in the capital?"

"And on a sunny day, how could there be thunder?"

There was a lot of discussion among the people, but no one could tell why, and when someone proposed to take a look at the place where the sound came from, they were told that the place had already been circled by the court, and no one could tell. Get close.

As soon as the sound came from the place enclosed by the imperial court, these people in the capital started to gossip, so the discussions became more bizarre, such as destiny and the like.

And when these people in the capital were discussing with each other, where the voice came out, Zhao Guangyi, dressed in casual clothes, frowned, with an indescribable look in his eyes.

"This is a bomb? This is a bomb, so powerful."

Zhao Guangyi smelled the smell of gunpowder smoke, but he didn't think it smelled bad. On the contrary, he felt that the smell was a hundred times better than the perfume on those concubines in his harem.

After the dynamite was ready, Zhao Guangyi came here to experiment. He placed ten tables around the dynamite, a bowl on each table, and some scarecrows under the table. Now these things have all been smashed. With this, I already know the power of this new weapon.

"Okay, okay, with this thing, I can see who would dare not submit to me."

Zhao Guangyi smiled wildly, and then ordered: "Decree Cao Bin, order him to bring a thousand guards, and then bring these bombs to persuade Wu Yue to surrender. If Wu Yue is willing to surrender, it's okay, if not, then Use these things to bombard Wu Yue."

At this time, Zhao Guangyi was ambitious, very ambitious, because he felt that he had the strength.

But when he thinks he can conquer everything, what else is there to be afraid of?

Wuyue Kingdom, after he destroyed the Northern Han Dynasty, he wanted to destroy Wuyue Kingdom, but because of the rebellion of King Wu Zhao Dezhao, he needed to clean up the mess in the capital, and Su Jiao was not around, so he never Really attack Wu Yueguo.

But now it's different, with the bomb developed by Liu Wei, what is Wu Yueguo to him?
After a round of bombs was thrown, he didn't believe that those people still had the ability to compete with Da Song.

Zhao Guangyi's order was passed on quickly, and Cao Bin heard that he was only asked to bring 1000 troops. This was definitely not a joke, but when he learned the power of the bomb, he felt that [-] troops were too many.

In fact, the kings of Wuyue Kingdom have always been cowardly. They would surrender if they lead troops to persecute them. Now that they have such weapons, if they are frightened, how dare they resist?
-
The news that Cao Bin went to Wuyue with a thousand soldiers and horses quickly spread to the capital of the Liao Kingdom.

Ye Luxian was not surprised when he heard the news. Now the Great Song Dynasty has wiped out the Southern Han, Southern Tang and Northern Han successively. The little Wuyue has been completely isolated by the Great Song Dynasty, and Wuyue is so rich. How could Song Tianzi's ambition allow them to continue to exist there?

It's normal to send people to destroy Wu Yue, but Cao Bin took a thousand soldiers to subdue Wu Yue. Zhao Guangyi underestimated Wu Yue too much, didn't he overestimate himself?

After Ye Luxian expressed his thoughts, the spy who came here said again: "Then Zhao Guangyi did only give Cao Bin a thousand troops, but before Zhao Guangyi ordered to attack Wuyue, a strange thing happened in the capital."

"Strange thing? What strange thing?"

"A thunderstorm."

"A thunderstorm?"

Ye Luxian couldn't understand the spy's words, but the spy still nodded: "Yes, it was indeed thunder, but it was artificially made, and now the capital of Song Dynasty is spreading this story everywhere, and It was passed on very well.”

Speaking of this, the spy frowned slightly, and then said: "Besides, there is one more thing. Zhao Guangyi carried a big box for Cao Bin's thousand soldiers and horses. The box was well protected and airtight." It’s leaking, what’s inside, I don’t know.”

Dynamite was originally a court secret of the Song Dynasty, and Zhao Guangyi deliberately concealed it. If it weren't for some officials with strong connections in the court and China, it would be impossible to know about the explosives.

Now even the spies of the Liao people can only find out these clues.

After Ye Luxian listened, he pondered for a moment, then looked at Li Yin and said, "Does Mr. Li have anything to say?"

Li Yin thought for a while and said: "Although Zhao Guangyi is not as capable as Zhao Kuangyin, he must be a very cautious person to win the imperial power in such a situation. This can be seen from the fact that he destroyed the Northern Han Dynasty. 1000 people went to attack Wuyue, presumably he must have been fully prepared, either he believed that the king of Wuyue would not dare to resist, or he had some magic weapon to win, we might as well wait and see the result."

Since the battles between the Liao Kingdom and the Song Dynasty failed one after another, the Liao Kingdom did not dare to use troops against the Song Dynasty, and the Yanmen Pass was guarded by Yang Jiye. It was basically impossible for them to break through the Yanmen Pass, so after Li Yin analyzed these , There is no mention of taking this opportunity to send troops to Song Dynasty.

Ye Luxian didn't mention this aspect either. Wuyue Kingdom was vulnerable to both the Liao people and the Song Dynasty. Whether they sent troops or not, they couldn't affect the outcome at all, and the soldiers and horses of the Song Dynasty were not defeated. They are restrained by Wuyue Kingdom, so they will not send troops hastily.

"Mr. is right. If Da Song is not sure of victory, it may be difficult to take action against Wu Yue, and Wu Yue is so vulnerable. Let's see what Da Song wants to do."

After saying this, Ye Luxian immediately ordered: "Send someone to keep an eye on Da Song, and make sure to find out what happened to the thunderclap, and what is behind the backs of the soldiers who followed Cao Bin to Wuyue Kingdom."

After Ye Luxian finished speaking, the spies nodded and accepted the order, but at this time, Li Yin suddenly said: "Also, send someone to investigate Liu Wei's whereabouts. It is impossible for Liu Wei to do such a major event as the Great Song's destruction of Wu Yue." There was no reaction at all, and I suspect that the thunder has something to do with Liu Wei."

Ye Luxian thought for a while, and finally nodded: "Do as you say."
