Although the Xia and Song dynasties had already started a full-scale war, due to the sudden occurrence of the incident, the two sides were not ready for a big war, and for a long time in the future, the two sides were still mainly trying and preparing, and the main thing was the preparation of troops and materials.
Jiangning Mansion, in the palace of the Great Song Dynasty.
Emperor Zhao Xu of the Song Dynasty was discussing the battle situation in Hedong with his courtiers, and after Zhao Xu, the king of Zhao, had already reported the situation in Hedong to the Great Song Dynasty after gaining an advantage in Hedong; Zhao Xu said to several important ministers: "I have received a report from the emperor's uncle, our army has achieved a preliminary victory in the Hedong battlefield, and the emperor's uncle hopes that I can increase my investment in the Hedong battlefield, use the Hedong battlefield as a breakthrough to capture Taiyuan, and then regain the lost territory. ” "Your Majesty, now that the Great Xia Kingdom has declared war on us, a new war is inevitable, in this case, Wei Chen thinks that we should indeed increase our support for the Hedong battlefield."
Zhang Dan said first; "Turn Hedong into a major breakthrough and completely crush the Xia army's plan to attack the Song Dynasty; Turn passive defense into active offense. ” "Wei Chen also agrees with Master Zhang's proposal."
Zeng Bu stood up and said; "Now that no one knows the war situation in the north better than His Royal Highness King Zhao, my Great Song Dynasty court is far away in the south of the Yangtze River, Your Majesty might as well hand over the decision-making power of the front line to His Royal Highness King Zhao; And the imperial court only needs to provide a steady stream of soldiers and material supplies for the front-line army. ” "Minister's Reconsideration" The army on the front line was originally trained by Zhao Xu, and Zhao Yan knew the battle situation on the front line best, so it was better to have full command of it, and all the supplies of the millions of troops on the front line needed to be supplied by Jiangnan, and Zhao Xu was equivalent to mastering Zhao Yan's lifeline, and he was not afraid that Zhao Yan would not obey orders.
After some careful consideration, Zhao Xu issued an order: "Spread my will, for the needs of resisting Xia, divide the army stationed on the border of Song and Xia into two parts, the Northern Army and the Western Army, the Northern Army will be handed over to the commander of King Zhao, and the Western Army will be handed over to the commander of the Seed Division; The whole army was overseen by King Zhao, and he was given the right to act cheaply. ” "Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live, long live" The news of the Song-Xia War soon spread all over the world, the north of China once again ignited the flames of war, some of the northern people began to move south in order to avoid the war, the entire Great Song Dynasty was actively preparing for war, a large number of grain, grass, weapons, armor and other materials were continuously transported to the north through the Grand Canal.
Yangzhou City Longtai Inn.
Li Qing, the king of Yan, received the news of the resumption of the war in Song and Xia at the first time, which was not good news for Li Qing, because Li Qing was not ready for the arrival of war; Zhou Hai said beside Li Qing: "Lord Wang, now that the two countries have started a war, it will be miserable if your identity is exposed, let's leave as soon as possible."
"I want to leave as soon as possible, but I also have to hurry up and get things done, and without further ado, tonight," Li Qing said.
Li Qing's purpose in coming to Yangzhou is actually to see his father-in-law, although Li Qing did not go during this period of time, but he has already sent people to investigate, Chen Jinbao's family has been investigated, and he has also sent people to survey all the shipyards in the Jianghuai area.
Although the war in the Xia and Song dynasties has been restarted, but it has not affected the south of the Yangtze River, the war in the north is just an interesting story in the mouths of the people in the south of the Yangtze River, for them the war is still far away, the people here are still living a luxurious life, unlike the Great Xia Empire, the Great Song Dynasty did not have a curfew system, and Yangzhou at night was as prosperous as the day.
At night, Li Qing came to the back door of Chen's mansion with Chen Shu under the protection of more than a dozen people, Li Qing Zhou Hai went to knock on the door, and after a while, a subordinate opened the door and asked Li Qing and others: "Who are you looking for?"
"Ah Fu, you don't know me anymore."
Chen Shu stood up and said.
"Miss, why did you come back, didn't the master say you" Ah Fu reacted and said; "Are they?"
Ah Fu was subdued by Zhou Hai before he finished speaking, Li Qing smiled and said to the disgraced Chen Shu: "Don't worry, this king won't hurt them." ” Li Qing didn't say a word and walked towards Chen's mansion with Chen Shu in his arms, at this time, there were already family members who reported the news here to Chen Jinbao, and a group of family members pointed at Li Qing and others with sticks, but they were still forced to retreat step by step; In the lobby of the front yard of Chen's house, Chen Jinbao was discussing business with the shopkeeper Sun of Yangzhou Longtai Commercial Bank, which was also arranged by Li Qing in advance.
"Master, master, it's not good, a group of thieves broke into our house through the back door."
A subordinate hurriedly ran to Chen Jinbao and said.
"What kind of system is it in a panic, don't you see that I am talking to Shopkeeper Sun?"
Chen Jinbao reprimanded his subordinates and said; "Isn't it just a few called Hanako and it's worth making a fuss, just hit it out."
"Master, it's really not called Hanako, and Miss is still with them," the servant said very nervously.
"What," Chen Jinbao said in surprise; Although Chen Jinbao claimed that his daughter died overseas after he came back, the people in the Chen Mansion basically knew that Miss was robbed by pirates, and now that Miss is back, it goes without saying that she is a pirate "Take me to see it, and then report to the official."
Chen Jinbao said.
"Wait."
Shopkeeper Sun said; "Brother Chen, it is impossible for these people to have no backhand, if these people are arrested, I am afraid that your family will be in trouble in the future, it is better to go and see the situation first and make a decision."
As soon as Chen Jinbao heard that what he said was reasonable, he said to the shopkeeper Sun: "What Brother Sun said makes sense, then do what Brother Sun said."
Soon under the leadership of the next person, Chen Jinbao came to the backyard, in the backyard Chen's mother was pulling Chen Shu with her family, so long her daughter has no news at all, but Chen's mother is worried, although her daughter fell into the hands of pirates, but Chen's mother still hopes that her daughter's life can be better.
Seeing that Chen Jinbao had arrived, Li Qing smiled and said, "Father-in-law, don't come unharmed."
"You are not afraid that my Chen family will report to the official and arrest you pirates."
Chen Jinbao threatened Li Qingdao.
"If you dare to report to the official, it is estimated that the end of the Chen family will come."
Li Qing said with a smile; "I'm not here to rob this time, but I have something to discuss with my father-in-law, I wonder if my father-in-law can take a step to speak."
"I'd like to see what tricks you can pull up."
After Chen Jinbao finished speaking, he walked inside, Li Qing and Zhou Hai followed, and Shopkeeper Sun also followed.
In Chen Jinbao's study, Li Qing said to Chen Jinbao: "I know that in your eyes, I am a heinous pirate who robbed your goods and daughter; But I tell you today, it is the honor of your Chen family to be able to follow me, I am far from being an ordinary pirate, as for my identity, I think Shopkeeper Sun can tell you completely. ” Chen Jinbao was shocked when he heard Li Qing's words, and turned his eyes to look at Shopkeeper Sun, only to see Shopkeeper Sun's nod and smile.
