Five Dynasties River Mountains Fengyue

However, he quickly pulled his legs up and rushed to the south road with confidence. As a general, he took the lead, and the morale of the soldiers behind him doubled, and they rushed north after him.

Fifty steps away, on the riverside avenue, more than 100 soldiers from the Southern Tang Dynasty gathered at this time, all of them looked hesitant, and the swords and guns in many people's hands were trembling.

Li Chuyun could see clearly and understood that the opponent had no intention of fighting, so he didn't immediately organize people to rush over, and the commander under his command couldn't help but wanted to lead people to rush over, but he stopped him.

The commander was puzzled and asked him: "Gushi, the opponent has no intention of fighting, let's just kill them, and we can kill them in a while."

Li Chuyun shook his head, "I've seen this kind of thing a lot. Their fighting spirit has already collapsed and they don't want to fight us. It's best not to see blood at this time.

To put it bluntly, when people are scared to the extreme, some people will run away, and some people will fight you desperately.Let them see the blood and arouse their blood, some of them will definitely fight with us to the death, and if they leave room for them to survive, they will surrender themselves. "

After a while, after hundreds of people gathered at the beach, Li Chuyun ordered the crowd to form an array, shouting "surrender, don't kill", "disarm, don't die" and marched towards the Nantang army garrison on the side of the road.

The garrison who had been frightened by the warships covering the sky and the earth on the river, except some fled, the rest dropped their weapons and surrendered. The Zhou army occupied the garrison next to the road without a single soldier.

Then Li Chuyun saw that there were many temples and Taoist temples on the mountain to the southeast of the avenue, and most of those temples and Taoist temples were luxuriously decorated.

Li Chuyun's mind turned quickly, and he realized it in an instant, and hurriedly called several commanders over: "Don't rush to gather the army before going ashore, surround this mountain, and arrest everyone on the mountain!"

"Respect the command of the capital!" Several commanders couldn't understand why Li Chuyun suddenly changed his mind. He originally said that after landing, he would ensure the safety of the beachhead, although he later set up camp and built trenches and stationed there.

Why is it suddenly changed to arresting people now?However, Li Chuyun is very good at fighting, especially when he was in Tushan, everyone was convinced by him and immediately executed it.

Li Chuyun was very excited in his heart, he couldn't wait to lead people to the foot of the mountain himself, and then he found the surrendered Southern Tang soldiers to point out the exit of the mountain road and lead people to block it.

He has never been to Jinling, and he doesn't know the geographical situation around Jinling, but there are white jade guardrails on the mountain road, and the temples and Taoist temples are colorful and luxuriously decorated. It doesn't look like a place for ordinary people to burn incense and worship Buddha!In all likelihood, it was the place where the nobles of the Southern Tang Dynasty burned incense and worshiped Buddha.

In this way, most of the high officials and nobles on the mountain, if they are lucky, they will not only climb to the south of the Yangtze River, but also capture many high officials and nobles in the Southern Tang Kingdom in one fell swoop, that is a great achievement!It must be able to intimidate the Southern Tang Kingdom even more...

Chapter 164: How to please Shi Congyun + Jiangnan's national beauty

"What is the name of this mountain, and what kind of people come to the mountain on weekdays?" Li Chuyun hurried on the road, and asked the Southern Tang general beside him, who was the commander of the Jiang'an garrison.

"This mountain is called Foling Mountain. There is a very famous Foling Temple on the mountain. The dignitaries and dignitaries in Jinling City often come here to burn incense and worship Buddha.

During this period of time, the battle in the north was not going well. When the Northern Army reached the north of the Yangtze River, many people would not dare to come. If we go there for two years, this place will be full of traffic, and all the dignitaries and dignitaries that we can't afford to offend will come here... "

"Do you remember any noble people who came to the mountain today?" Li Chuyun asked as he walked.

They are stationed at the foot of the mountain, and all passers-by are checked, and they generally know the people who come and go.

The commander turned pale and hesitated to answer. Li Chuyun immediately understood that there might be big fish on the mountain!

Li Chuyun didn't threaten, but whispered: "Just say it, it's you who said I won't get rumored."

The commander then whispered: "The sixth prince and his relatives and friends will go up the mountain in the afternoon..."

Six princes!

When Li Chuyun heard this, he immediately became excited and rushed over quickly.

When he was out of breath and led his troops to the foot of the mountain, he immediately sent troops to guard the main roads down the mountain under the leadership of the Southern Tang troops.

Afterwards, he personally led the troops to rush up the mountain along the road, and soon met many gorgeously dressed and panicked noble children on the steps halfway up the mountain.

Li Chuyun roared: "I don't want to die and squat on the ground and don't move!"

Facing Sen Han's sword and spear, these pampered noble children suddenly panicked and couldn't calm down at all. Li Chongjin immediately opened his bow and set up an arrow, shot one person to death with one arrow, and roared: "I want to die!"

Instantly frightened everyone, "Move if you want to die!"

The white jade stone steps were stained red with blood, and everyone on the mountain path was frightened. Li Chuyun immediately ordered the soldiers to guard these people and send them to the foot of the mountain to gather. He himself led his troops to the mountain to arrest the rest.

Stepping on the white jade steps all the way to rush up the mountain, the armor all over his body was so heavy that he was exhausted. Li Chuyun simply ordered the armor to be removed, leaving a whole army to guard the armor on the mountainside, and the rest were lightly armed to arrest people. Anyway, they were all pampered and wealthy children , not afraid of their fierce resistance.

As he was on his way, he couldn't help feeling emotional, "This mountain is tens of miles away from Jinling, and the mountain roads are paved with white jade stone steps. I don't know how much money and manpower it will cost. Where did the monks and priests spend money to repair it? Those noble children want to come here to have fun, the North is still eyeing them, but they are leisurely and happy.

I'm afraid that even if we can't cross the river this time, the Tang Kingdom won't last long. "

A well-mannered official with a knife next to him said with a smile, "Dushi, since ancient times, the southern kingdom has not been the opponent of the northern kingdom, and it didn't last long for the southern kingdom to reject the northern kingdom. The emperor counts one day, just enjoy yourself."

"What you said makes sense..." Li Chuyun nodded. The difference between him and ordinary generals is that he has read a lot of books and experienced many things. reckless.

"This will hurt the people of the Tang Kingdom..." he sighed.

Soon, someone reported catching a big fish in a pavilion on the mountainside.

When Li Chuyun rushed over, a young couple was guarded by more than a dozen guards with knives in a small pavilion. In the pavilion, the warships covering the river could just be seen. The two of them were dressed in extraordinary clothes, especially the young woman. People, even he was amazed just by looking at it.

A large number of soldiers from the Zhou Army surrounded them, and when Li Chuyun came, they all made way for them.

Li Chuyun glanced at the flustered young man. He was about the same age as Dashuai Shi, but his bearing and size were much different. At this time, his face was pale and his hands and feet were trembling.

More than a dozen guards had their blades facing outwards, but none of them had good looks on their faces.

Li Chuyun stepped forward, pointing to the densely packed fleet behind the river where he could not see the edge and tail, and said: "My army of [-] is at the foot of the mountain, and you dare to resist in the corner and seek your own death! If you are wise, throw down your weapons and surrender, I will be spared." You die!"

Several guards looked at each other, dropped their weapons and surrendered, the young couple turned pale with fright, the man was almost crying, tears were spinning.

Li Chuyun had roughly guessed the identities of the two, and said tentatively: "The sixth prince."

Seeing that someone recognized him, the young man hurriedly said: "That's right, King Gu is the sixth prince of the Tang Kingdom, titled King Zheng, who are you, don't be rude to Gu!"

Is this a fool, does he think that his noble status is also useful now?Li Chuyun sneered in his heart, and immediately ordered, "Take it, show it to someone, and bring it to the foot of the mountain to wait for the commander to deal with it."

As promised, the soldiers immediately held him down, ignored his shouts, and took him away.

Looking at the pitiful and charming young woman left, Li Chuyun immediately thought of all kinds of rumors about the commander-in-chief Shi Congyun, and immediately became excited, thinking that this might be a great opportunity to please the commander-in-chief!

So he whispered to the many soldiers around him: "Send her politely to the commander's boat, do you understand what I mean?"

Everyone immediately understood, with an expression that everyone understood, "The commander-in-chief will definitely be happy!"

........

Shi Congyun stood at the bow of the boat and looked at the beach in the south. Li Chuyun took the lead and led the troops to the beach and landed. Instead of quickly gathering as planned, he led the troops to the mountains in the east.

He was a little puzzled at first, what is Li Chuyun doing?

After a while, Tantou sent people back in a small boat to report that it turned out that there were dignitaries from the Southern Tang Dynasty on the mountain, and it was said that there was even a prince, and Li Chuyun took people to arrest him.

Shi Congyun didn't come here in vain, and was immediately overjoyed. If he could capture a prince and many nobles just after he arrived in Jinling, wouldn't he be able to demand a large amount of ransom.

Then he ordered Si Chao to lead a hundred warships to march eastward to explore the waters, and at the same time occupy Nanjiang Zhongzhou in Jinling City. Jiangzhongzhou Island, just south of Jinling City.

Guo Ting said that he was familiar with the nearby waters and served as Si Chao's deputy.

Later in the afternoon, he saw from a distance that Li Chuyun had caught many people from the mountain and was escorting them down the mountain.

Someone came to the Chinese army by boat to report that Li Chuyun had captured Li Congjia, the sixth prince of the Southern Tang Kingdom.

Shi Congyun was overjoyed, praised Li Chuyun several times in succession, and told him that he would remember all the credit for capturing the sixth prince of the Southern Tang Dynasty and work hard.At the same time, I carefully recalled in my heart, who is Li Congjia?Is there such a prince in Southern Tang Dynasty?

To be honest, he didn't have much impression.

The only thing he knew about the royal family of the Southern Tang Dynasty was Li Jing, the lord of the country, and Li Jingda, the king of Qi who had fought against them, was beat up by him and Zhao Kuangyin one after another.

The other is Li Yu, the queen master, but he should not have ascended the throne at this time, and he is also a prince.

To be honest, he can't appreciate Empress Li's Ci, but it's true that he can recite his Ci very well when he was studying.

If you can meet him, you must educate him well, manage the country more if you have nothing to do, write less words, and seek benefits for future generations of young people.

By the way, I also want to help him share his worries, take care of the big and small Zhou queens, so that he will not indulge in wine and sex, and cause the country to perish. This is for the sake of the people in the south of the Yangtze River, and sacrifices are inevitable.

As for Li Congjia, who Li Chuyun lived in, I don't know who it is, anyway, he just locked him up and exchanged credit for the ransom. Capturing the prince of the enemy country is a great achievement!

So he ordered that Li Chuyun can decide and deal with it by himself, and there is no need to give more face just because he is a prince. Who is not a life in front of a sword.

The most important thing is to build a camp along the riverside avenue after arresting people to prevent the Southern Tang army from counterattacking and to ensure their own safety.

The soldiers who reported the news rowed back to the south bank quickly.

After about two quarters of an hour, he came back again, this time it was no longer military, but he said with sly eyebrows: "Marshal, General Li said that he caught a beautiful woman from the Southern Tang Dynasty, she is the princess of Li Congjia, she is beautiful and beautiful, and I want to present it to you." To the handsome..."

Shi Congyun immediately regained his energy when he heard this, but there were still many soldiers and personal guards on the deck, so he immediately scolded the person who carried the letter loudly, "What nonsense, I am such a person!

Military and state affairs come first, so how can I have the time to mess with women? What kind of little girl?

This commander has always focused on the military, and he is not a bandit, so why would he want to rob a woman when he goes to a place?Back then in the Kingdom of Shu, they didn't even ask for a gift. "

As he said, he retreated from the left and right guards, "Retire first, and I will teach him a lesson."

Everyone understood and retreated, and Shi Congyun asked in a low voice: "Is that woman really beautiful?"

"Ah......" The messenger was a little confused, and then said: "I am so beautiful, otherwise General Li would not want to dedicate it to you. Who is the commander, he must have a high vision. How can ordinary women see it in their eyes."

"Well, so I want to see and see her. It's not that I'm greedy for her beauty. You all said that she is so beautiful. You must see her. Go and bring her to a certain flagship. You must appreciate her. Have a long talk with her, understand."

The messenger nodded seriously: "I understand, I understand completely! The commander admires her and wants to have a long talk with her."

"A child can be taught, go!"

Shi Congyun smiled and patted the messenger on the shoulder.

He is not a good person. Xiaoyun has long missed Zhao Shijian and Fu Liu, but before the Huaihe War, the whole of Huainan was on his shoulders. He was under a lot of pressure, and he didn't have the time and energy to take care of it. Man, of course, is also very animalistic. They say that there are many beauties in the south of the Yangtze River. They have long planned to come to Nantang to blackmail, but they didn't expect to deliver the goods to their door first.

No matter how much a human being is whitewashed, how majestic and lofty it is, it is still a living being in the final analysis. As a living being, survival and reproduction are the primary goals.

So someone said that a man's life is all about fighting for the lower body; although this statement is vulgar, it is concise and clear, vivid and sums it up in place.

It is always for survival and reproduction, and people cannot jump out.

Shi Congyun never thought of himself as a sage or a god-man. He was just that kind of person, with strengths and weaknesses, and a person who dared to speak and act.

.......

On an autumn day, Han Xizai and his friend Xu Xuan, the official censor, sat opposite each other in the private room on the fifth floor of Wangjiang Building in Jinling.

Looking from this high place, you can see Zhongshan Mountain in the east and the Yangtze River in the south. In addition, there is only one floor in the city, and the price of watching seats is quite high. Therefore, it is often an elegant interest pursued by literati and poets. In the past, this place was overcrowded, but today it is A little deserted.

However, their eyes did not fall on the distance, but on the sparsely pedestrianized streets below.

Last year, the bustling Jinling, which was full of traffic and people coming and going, has become like this now, because the army of the Northern Dynasty won consecutive battles, and the envoy Shi Congyun was unstoppable. He has already sent soldiers to the north of the river, and Jinling is only separated by a river.

At this time, people in the city and even in the palace were already panicked, and naturally few people dared to come out and walk around.

Han Xizai sighed, he is now Tang Guozhong's secretary, the servant of the household department, and the envoy of money casting. It can be said that he has a high position and authority, but he has failed to prevent many things from happening.

"Brother Xu, do you still remember that in August of the fourth year of Baoda, the privy envoy Chen Jue dispatched troops from Ting, Jian, Fu, Xin and other prefectures to attack Fuzhou without authorization.

Fearing that something might go wrong, His Majesty ordered Wang Chongwen, Wei Cen, Feng Yanlu and others to lead the army to attack Fuzhou together.In March of the following year, due to the struggle of the generals and the reinforcements of the Wuyue army, the Southern Tang army was defeated and suffered heavy losses. "

"You and I corrected that Song and Feng formed cronies with Chen Jue and Wei Cen, secretly dispatched troops, disrupted state affairs, and requested that Chen Jue, Feng Yanlu and others be killed in order to rectify the law of the country.

At first, His Majesty agreed, but he was also very angry, thinking that several people should be killed, but the prime minister at that time went around and tried to guarantee his life, but only released him. Since last year, he has actually appointed Chen Jue as the supervisor of the army, and went north with the army of King Qi to resist the enemy.

At that time, the old man advised His Majesty, Chen felt that he was a man of great ambition and lack of talent, he was jealous of the virtuous and capable, the former commanded the army to attack Fuzhou and lost his troops, now that he was hired again, the scars and pain were healed, but His Majesty did not listen at all... "Han Xizai said helplessly.

"Actually, the old man has known since then that His Majesty is not a person who does great things. He is indecisive, cowardly and difficult to make decisions. It's just that he doesn't dare to say what he says in his heart. He can only complain in front of Brother Dingchen."

Xu Xuandao: "Speak carefully, uncle. It's useless to say what happened now. The army of the Northern Dynasty almost occupied Jiangbei. King Qi and Chen Jue have already fled back to Jinling. Your Majesty is planning to use Chen Jue as an envoy to meet the Zhou army commander. , what can I wait for.

But Shi Congyun is really powerful. I heard that he is only eighteen or nineteen years old this year, and he commanded the Huainan army in the Northern Dynasty, and beat Zhu Yuan, Chen Jue, King Qi and others to the point where they were powerless to fight back. "

Han Xizai drank a glass of wine, shook his head and said, "It is an indisputable fact that the Northern Army is strong. I don't think he is so powerful. On the contrary, Li Gu, who is coordinating Huainan and mobilizing taxes, is indeed capable of raising the army."

Xu Xuan didn't argue with his old friend about Shi Congyun, but asked: "I heard that Shu Yan was a good friend with Prime Minister Li Gu of the Northern Dynasty when he was young."

Han Xizai was in a trance, and nodded slowly, "Young classmate, when I was young, I parted ways with Li Gu in Zhengyang, and once drank a toast. I said to Li Gu, if Wu uses me as the prime minister, I will definitely drive me to the Central Plains." Li Gu promised me that if the Central Plains uses him as a chancellor, taking the country of Wu is like picking something out of a bag.

Now it seems that he won, I am not as good as him..."

"It's also luck, and it's not all your fault. The emperor of Zhou in the Northern Dynasty used him heavily, and there are good fighters like Shi Congyun, Zhao Kuangyin, Shi Yanchao, and Li Chongjin in front of him. It's easy to take Huainan." Xu Xu Hyun comforted.

Han Xizai smiled wryly, poured wine for his old friend, then picked up the glass and walked to the window, chanting:

"Throwing Nanyang is the main concern, and the north and the east are the best plans.

Time comes and the world has the same force, and it is not free to transport heroes.

Thousands of miles of mountains and rivers despise children, and the crown of the two dynasties hates Qiao Zhou.

Only the passionate water under the remaining rocks, I still know that every year is next to the post...

Brother Dingchen, it will be rare for a Beichen like me to be reused in the future. It is a great blessing to be able to live a rich life and end up well. "

Xu Xuan was silent for a long time before he said: "Uncle Yan, don't be so pessimistic, things will always turn around. Thousands of sails pass by the side of the sinking boat, and Wan Muchun is ahead of the sick tree. Who knows what will happen in the future."

"It's reasonable for us northerners not to be trusted after this war in the Northern Dynasty." Han Xizai shook his head, "It's a blessing to be able to live in peace and stability in the future. The old man thinks that the Southern Kingdom may not last long, and the Central Plains is in dire straits. If it is blocked, there will be no peace in Western Shu, Southern Tang, Jingchu, Wuyue, Northern Han, and Southern Han.

I don't want to and dare not be in it now, I just want to protect myself. "

Xu Xuan also understood that the old friend's ambition was determined, so he didn't say any more: "Then Shuyan can come to me, the old man is also a person with no ambitions, and he wants to write a book and talk about it."

The two looked at each other and laughed loudly.
