In Huangfu Jixun's letter to Jinling, he stated that someone leaked military information, which led to the entire army being attacked. He was not afraid of danger, and led his soldiers to continuously charge a bloody road, killing countless enemies, and was exhausted. Only then did he arrive at Qianzhou City and serve as a member of the Divine Guards.

Saved some strength.

These words, coupled with the joint signatures of many generals, were actually believed by those in Jinling. Coupled with the statements of the generals' forces, the court quickly decided not to hold them accountable, but only asked them to protect Qianzhou City.

Even, under the influence of this group of veteran generals, the imperial court was preparing to send another army to fight against the puppet country.

However, Huangfu Jixun was so secretive that he never expected that the day after his defeat, the Changsha Prefecture urgently printed tens of thousands of Di newspapers, and most of them were distributed to Jiangxi and even Jinling to attack the enemy.

Party morale.

As a result, the details of this defeated battle had been completely leaked. The princes of Jinling were very angry and quickly sent people to recover the messenger. They even wanted to kill such a shameful general.

It is a heinous crime to blatantly deceive the imperial court and deceive prime ministers who have worked hard for the country.

However, the power of the generals was too great, and the army in the center of the place was so densely packed that the order to kill them was still not issued.

Li Yu was originally indignant, but he had a soft temper and was criticized. In order to consolidate his rule, he could only choose to be lenient and hold his nose and agree with Huangfu Jixun's statement.

Removed from office and imprisoned for three years.

This was the consensus reached in the court after an hour of discussion, and it was also a result recognized by almost everyone.

However, even Huangfu Jixun, who had high hopes, failed. Who else can take on this important task?

A son of a general? No, Huangfu Jixun was too bad. As a bad example, he showed that the second generation of generals who have not been trained are completely unfit to fight against the enemy. It is better to help the emperor control the army.

There was only one general left who could gain the emperor's trust and was capable - Lin Renzhao.

As a defender of the Southern Capital, he trained tens of thousands of troops in Hongzhou under the emperor's order, working hard and without complaint. Moreover, as a surrendered general, he had no foundation in the army, which was very reassuring.

The loss this time was too great. It can be said that nearly half of the efforts made in the past few years have been lost.

The Later Zhou Dynasty went south three times, and the soldiers of the fourteen states in the north of the Yangtze River were completely annihilated. Together with some of the divine guards, it can be said that the Later Zhou Dynasty Guorong had broken the bones of the Southern Tang Dynasty.

Over the years, Southern Tang looked very respectful on the surface, but in fact they had been secretly training their troops and recharging their strength, but they still had not reached the level of a few years ago.

After all, soldiers are easy to come by, but veterans are hard to find. Those who can fight and dare to die are almost gone, and the Divine Guards are even more exhausted.

Now there is another loss of 20,000 elites. In the past two years of training, the total number of the Divine Guards has returned to 100,000, but the actual combat effectiveness is questionable. The loss of 20,000 elites is not a big deal.

"This time, we must pacify the puppet country in one fell swoop and wash away the shame." Li Yu made the final decision and decided to let Lin Renzhao, an action man, command his divine guard army, seize Lingnan, regain the lost territory, and thus revitalize the country.

Moreover, Chen Qiao was appointed as the supervisor.

The Imperial Court of the Southern Tang Dynasty is now a shabby house with leaks from all sides. Not only can the Central Plains easily obtain his information, but the Sound Department can also obtain such military aircraft information as long as they spend this money.

It can be said that the Southern Tang Dynasty, which was founded only a few decades ago, valued literature over military affairs. He looked like a middle-aged man, but in fact he was strong on the outside and capable on the inside. Especially after losing the fourteen states in Jiangbei, he no longer had any ambition and could only survive.

Anyone with a little knowledge knows that to defend the river, you must defend the Huaihe River. Without Huainan, the Southern Tang Dynasty would have no choice but to be slaughtered by others. Most people wanted to leave this broken ship and find a good one again.

Therefore, it is natural for the news to leak out.

Soon Li Jia learned of Jin Ling's move and couldn't help but be overjoyed and said: "It's done!"

Immediately, he sent a message to Huang Yang, Chen Bing and others, asking them to act according to the plan and guard the city well and not to lose it easily.

The Dongting Lake Navy is already ready to go. Many shipyards are constantly building ships. New ships are launched every day for trial sailing. There are already more than a thousand ships in Dongting Lake. In addition to being able to carry 10,000 people, the Navy

, and can also carry at least 30,000 troops and supplies.

The ships near Jiangling City are just superficial, just to confuse the Central Plains and the Southern Tang Dynasty.

"Wait a little longer, wait a little longer, as long as the Imperial Army enters Shu, that's it."

Li Jia murmured while checking the memorial.

The fierce competition has become dull. Now, it is time to wait again. As long as the Central Plains takes action, it will be the rise and fall of the Southern Tang Dynasty.

Qianzhou.

This was supposed to be a city under siege, but in the courtyard of General Huangfu, in such a place, the elegant and beautiful sound of silk and bamboo gradually sounded, and dozens of slender girls danced one after another. They had beautiful faces, brightly colored clothes, and elegant styles.

The dancing posture and flowing belt are mesmerizing.

Huangfu Jixun drank wine and admired the beauty, feeling extremely happy.

He thought that if his memorial was sent to Jinling, and if the brothers of the generals made peace, the emperor and the court would definitely believe it. When the time comes, the officials would be reinstated, and even if they added more soldiers and horses, they would be able to

The gang of thieves outside the city were wiped out in one fell swoop.

"General, general, the enemy is attacking the city again."

At this time, a sudden voice sounded, and a messenger ran in.

"I'm so afraid. Our Qianzhou City is so impregnable that with three thousand elite troops, how could it be captured? Let everyone be on guard duty and don't make any mistakes."

Huangfu Jixun admired the dance and gave instructions without hesitation.

promise--

The ordering soldier reluctantly agreed.

Outside the city, the Tang army conducted another siege. Of course, Qianzhou City was too low and small to be defended. Huang Yang did not really want to capture it, but was just bluffing and training his troops.

The real defense should be Tingzhou City.

Poyang Lake.

It was already bright, but the sky was gray and the sun was not visible. It was a cloudy day, and there was still mist on the ground, making it difficult to see clearly.

Big man Zhang has forgotten how long he has been a member of the Jinfan Army, but since he put on these clothes, was trained, and has no worries about food and drink, he has forgotten the time.

There is fish to eat every day, and pork and mutton every other day, with a lot of salt. This is a much better life than those rich people. The real defense should be Tingzhou City.
