Since ancient times, Fujian has been like an isolated island, less developed than Bashu, and the land is not fertile. The only way to survive is by doing business.

Fujian is full of mountains, with Wuyi Mountain on the left and the sea on the right. Only Zhejiang in the north and Guangdong in the south can be considered a thoroughfare.

Fuzhou was the territory of Wu and Yue, and Lingnan was occupied by the puppet state. Huangfu Jixun was very pitiful and could only pass by Jiangxi.

First, we need to take a boat, go up the river to Poyang Lake, arrive at Hongzhou, then go up the Gan River to Jizhou, then to Qianzhou, and then go east, from Zhangshui to Tingzhou, so troublesome.

In Hongzhou, the mighty army naturally made the people of Hongzhou sweat. After all, the talk of soldiers and bandits was not a lie. Robbery and oppression of the people was a common thing.

And our Nandu stayed behind, how could we let them enter the city? Lin Renzhao directly refused to let the Divine Guards enter the city, but still left a leeway and vacated a military camp.

"Damn it! This Lin Renzhao is so lawless!" Huangfu Jixun glanced at the dilapidated military camp and couldn't help but cursed: "I have worked hard for the country and fought on the battlefield, but I am not even allowed to go to the city to have a drink. It is simply unreasonable.

."

After taking the boat for several days, Huangfu Jixun was really disgusted and wanted to go to a brothel to have some fun. Lin Renzhao actually refused to let him enter the city, which really made him angry.

"Commander, this Hongdu is the place where our food and grass are transferred. If we offend him, we will have no food to eat!" The captain on the side quickly persuaded.

"Bah, I'll put up with him for a while. Go and send someone to tell him that he wants a hundred pigs and five hundred jars of wine."

"What a shameless bastard!" Lin Renzhao was really surprised when he heard Huangfu Jixun's words. He heard that some people asked for food and grass, and some asked for arrows and weapons during the war, but he really never saw anyone asking for wine in the middle of the war.

"How can such an incompetent general be a commander?"

Lin Renzhao felt that sending such a person to Tingzhou was simply a wrong choice, but what could he do after the imperial appointment?

It’s not just about cooperating and actively providing food and grass.

After eating and drinking, Huangfu Jixun continued on the road. Ganshui River was quite wide, so many difficulties were avoided along the way, and the transportation of food and grass was convenient.

When they arrived in Jizhou, Huangfu Jixun heard another bad news: Jianzhou had also been captured by the puppet state.

The five states of Fujian, Quan, Zhang, Ting, and Jian, were all occupied by it. Only Fuzhou, which was occupied by Wu Yue, was still there, and Jianzhou, which was separated from Jianzhou, was no exception and was captured.

"That is to say, I went to Fujian and fought alone without reinforcements?" Huangfu Jixun was silent, not knowing how to describe his own mood.

Fighting alone, the terrain is rugged, and the soldiers are weak. How can we fight?

Of course, it was his own imagination that the soldiers were weak. In fact, as the main force of the Southern Tang Dynasty, the Divine Guards, although they had been busy training, but as an elite built by the whole country, they were only afraid of the Central Plains and not afraid of the small countries in the south.

In the eyes of these soldiers, the only place in the world that can fight is the Central Plains. It is unclear how big the puppet country is and how many troops it has, but it is proud of being the largest country in the south.

After staying in Jizhou for more than three days, Huangfu Jixun remained unmoved until the people in Fuzhou were anxious.

This is a time of drought, and there is not much food in the warehouse. Who of your 20,000 soldiers can stand eating from horse chews?

Helpless, Huangfu Jixun still wanted to lose face. The prestige of the Huangfu family could not fall, so the army set off again. In two days and hundreds of miles, they sailed up the Gan River and arrived at Qianzhou.

This is the place where Huangfu Jixun lost his first battle.

Of course, he had reasons for failure. Everyone was afraid of Pan Chongche's reputation.

Qianzhou has been occupied by Pan Chongche since Huangfu Jixun failed and fled two years ago. Since all the money was swept away by Huangfu Jixun, Pan Chongche moved the grain in the warehouse and thousands of people to Lingnan.

So far, two years have passed in a blink of an eye. Qianzhou has lost a large number of people, but it has also vacated a lot of land to recruit displaced people who lost their land. In two years, most of it has recovered.

The Gongshui and Zhangshui merged into one here, forming the Ganshui. The ancients went from right to left, paying tribute from the left to the right, and thus became the Ganshui.

From Tingzhou, head east against the Zhang River. In just one day's work, you can reach Tingzhou and the two armies will fight.

Huang Yang specially fortified Tingzhou City and deployed a large number of equipment, so the Divine Guards had to lose a few teeth.

However, he got news that Huangfu Jixun was wandering in Qianzhou and hesitated to move forward.

"What a waste, coward!" Huang Yang spat, and couldn't help but curse: "I have been in the army for decades and have never seen such a cowardly thief."

"The general's power has shocked several states in southern Fujian and more than a dozen states in Jiangxi. Huangfu Jixun must be afraid. After all, he was defeated at the hands of Uncle Lizhou. It is normal for him to have lingering fears." His subordinate flattered him.

"Bah, how can someone be so powerful?" Huang Yang laughed and cursed, and then said: "We have always imagined that he would go south to Fujian, but we never expected that there would be such a coward. It is really unexpected."

"If you wait a few more days, I won't believe it anymore. Let the people from the Shesheng Department go to Jinling to spread the rumors. I'll see how long you can endure."

The Archery Department was very capable, and soon, word spread in Jinling City that Huangfu Jixun was afraid of the battle and had retreated from the battle. The whole court was extremely shocked.

As the saying goes, changing generals at the last moment of battle is extremely unforeseen. There is also a saying that when generals are away, the emperor's orders will be ignored.

In the court, people came and went and quarreled endlessly.

Only fools can play with things like formation diagrams. Fighting is a test of a general's ability to adapt to changes in circumstances, and it is extremely absurd to be desperate for a sword.

"In this case, send someone to find out what is going on!"

The emperor also had a headache and was noisy. He believed in Huangfu Jixun's loyalty, but still had some doubts about his ability. However, the saying that there is no tiger in a general's family made him believe it, so he could only make peace with him.

"But, Your Majesty, the summer grain has not been harvested yet, and the court is really in trouble."

"No matter how difficult it is, you have to persevere." Li Yu said solemnly, showing the majesty of the emperor.

Tokyo, Bianliang, Ouchi.

The Imperial Palace in Tokyo was originally transformed from the Jiedu Residence. It is narrow and irregular. Unlike the obsessive-compulsive neatness of the Tang Dynasty, the Imperial Palace of the Northern Song Dynasty was awkward, just like the imperial court, and there was always an awkwardness.

Zhao Kuangyin was a soldier. He got the throne by accident. He didn't care about enjoying happiness. He was so happy that he needed a bicycle!

Time management is also very strict and orderly.

"Hahaha! Two puppet countries are fighting, it's so exciting!"
