Human pressure and fear are gradually coming. It is like a person sentenced to death feels scared, but it is definitely not as strong as when he is really pulled to the execution ground; and when the gun is pointed at him, he becomes even more desperate; if he fires the gun, unfortunately he gets stuck and wants to hit him again... Brother, please strangle me to death, it's so scary!

This is how Li Yu felt at this time, and his sense of panic was gradually increasing.

A few months ago, he heard that the Zhou army was going to attack the Southern Tang Kingdom, so he knew that it was very likely that he could not defeat it. He was worried every day and lived like years in the fright of the country's destruction. But the feelings at that time were not intuitive after all. Now, he learned that Tongling, Wuhu, and Dangtu were defeated one after another, and the Zhou army had arrived at the Caishi Ferry. He gradually felt that the enemy was approaching and was about to hit the nose.

A scene appeared in front of Li Yu: "Eighty-hundred Thousand Army" rushed across the Yangtze River from the Caishi Ferry like a tide, rushing towards Jiangning Prefecture, and his territory was full of enemy troops.

Caishi Ferry is only 120 miles away from Jiangning Mansion where Li Yu is staying!

Not long ago, the people who crossed the river in the Zhou army were still far away in Chizhou, four or five hundred miles apart, and within just over half a month, there was no danger in the middle... Jingkou, Chizhou, and Wuchang were all attacked, and I don’t know where the Zhou army would break through. Jingkou may be the largest, and it is closest there; and now, Li Yu has realized the seriousness of the quarrying situation no matter what.

There was a sharp arrow pointing at Li Yu's chest. Li Yu felt that his butt could not sit firmly, and there was needle and needle felt on his seat.

Today is cloudy, and the light atmosphere in the palace is very gloomy, which makes people feel depressed inexplicably... There are more rainfall in the south of the Yangtze River, which is the least rainy in winter; the temperature is a bit low now, but it is suitable for infantry and cycling activities in the north, and the rivers are shallow and rain less.

At this time, the ministers came to the palace one after another. The king arrived first, but the ministers arrived less often. Li Yu was in a hurry today.

After some etiquette, Li Yu couldn't wait to ask: "Who has a plan to retreat when the Zhou army arrives in Caishi?"

Everyone else has fought, and he can't send people to persuade the Zhou army to withdraw with his words. In the end, he can only fight! Li Yu knew that he could only send troops to Caishi war, so he turned his attention to Huangfu Jixun... I hope that this general can volunteer to share his worries for the leader.

Among the generals in Jinling and those with sufficient status and position, Li Yu is most optimistic about Huangfu Jixun. After loyalty and good, he is loyal and reliable; his military power is also high enough, so he is the commander-in-chief of the Shenwei Army. He is always respectful and commendable in front of Li Yu, and he is not the arrogant and fierce person.

But at this moment, Huangfu Jixun pretended to be deaf and did not come forward to share his worries. Li Yu thought to himself: Although he was not proactive enough, he might be worried that he could not beat him. After all, the Zhou army was too strong; people who were steadfast would be more humble, which was also the advantage of caution and reliability. Loyal ministers were often not the kind of self-boasting and self-recommendation!

At this moment, Chen Qiao, the assistant to the Guangzhengyuan, came out and said: "For the current plan, there is only one strategy to mobilize troops to reinforce and quarry. I have two words to say: First, use good generals and capable people; second, be quick and never delay.

Previously, I offered my strategy and advised Your Majesty to send troops to strengthen the defense of quarrying as soon as possible. At that time, Li Chuyun's people were still hundreds of miles away... I had no use to say much inadvertently before. Today, Li Chuyun's troops in the Zhou army are weak, and Dangtucheng is also in my hands. It is not too late to fight back with heavy troops as soon as possible. It is not too late to make up for the sheep! I recommend Lin Renzhao to lead the army to quarrying and preside over this battle."

After hearing this, Li Yu said that Chen Qiao's words meant to blame the king in public, and he felt a little unhappy. It was normal for anyone to be criticized. Besides, was it my negligence to enter Caishi? If you remember correctly, Chen Qiao's original strategy was to divide the troops from Jingkou, and the focus of strengthening Caishi was on the water surface; if he did what he said early, and Jingkou was lost at that time, they would say that the main attack direction of Zhou's army was in Jingkou, and would they blame me for making mistakes in judgment?

These ministers who have been in high positions for a long time, Chen Qiao, Han Xizai, etc., are very brave, and they don’t take the new king seriously, intentionally or unintentionally. However, Li Yu does not intend to argue with him. After all, fighting with ministers is not a good thing; Li Yu also wants to act humbly to accept advice.

He said: "Mr. Chen made a point, but although there were few people from the Zhou army, Li Chuyun's troops, they had mastered the water surface near the quarrying, and they might increase troops from the river. Our country should advance heavily to quarrying. Lin Renzhao could be the vanguard of the army... General Huangfu."

Huangfu Jixun hurriedly said, "The last one is here."

Li Yu said: "Lin Renzhao, the commander of the commander of the Shenwei Army, is the vanguard. You are the commander of the Shenwei Army, how about you go to the war as the commander?"

"No!" Chen Qiao did not wait for Huangfu Jixun to answer, and suddenly gave a blunt advice, "Although General Huangfu was a loyal and kind descendant, he had never made any outstanding achievements, nor had he made any insightful remarks. It is probably not a good move to grant military and national responsibilities based on his background and position. On the battlefield, no matter the noble and low background, it has the same effect. Lin Renzhao was different. At least Weichen knew him better. This person was the better candidate to preside over the battle of quarry."

When Li Yu heard Chen Qiao say bad things about Huangfu Jixun in person, although his words were quite tactful, he had a clear meaning: he was born and had no ability! Li Yu remained calm and thought that this might inspire Huangfu Jixun instead.

Unexpectedly, Huangfu Jixun was not angry and said with a fist: "Mr. Chen's words are not unreasonable. The last general has not taken on a great responsibility... But Lin Renzhao may not be a good person. Neither of me is suitable for taking on this great responsibility!"

Chen Qiao said: "Then why didn't General Huangfu recommend someone?"

Li Yu said at this time: "The civil and military disagreement is useless. You quarrel like this. Why not listen to me?"

Chen Qiao hurriedly said: "I am all advocating, but the one who issued the order is Your Majesty. I wish to respect Your Majesty's will." Huangfu Jixun also expressed his obedience to the authority of the king.

Li Yu said: "If you disagree, you should give in to each other. So according to my wishes, Huangfu Jixun is the head coach and Lin Renzhao is the striker. According to my opinion, Huangfu Jixun is calm and Lin Renzhao is brave. The two of them discuss and cooperate with each other, and they are each of them for their strengths..."

After hearing this, Chen Qiao said nothing, but he did not object. Huangfu Jixun had just said that he was willing to obey His Majesty's imperial edict, and immediately clasped his fists and said, "I will follow the order."

Li Yu thought about it and said something wrong... Huangfu Jixun had said bad things about Lin Renzhao many times before. He just said that Lin Renzhao was not a good general, obviously not in harmony, saying that "mutual discussion and coordination" was to speak lies with lies. So Li Yu changed his words again: "Lin Renzhao is a striker and can directly obey the court and not be subject to the limitations of the head coach. As long as he is brave enough, no one will limit his ability."

"Your Majesty is wise!" Chen Qiao said with satisfaction at this time. Granting Lin Renzhao certain autonomy was obviously a good result for Chen Qiao... Chen Qiao has always recommended Lin Renzhao, and such an order should make him slightly satisfied.

Li Yu also thought it was better to do this... Although Chen Qiao kept saying that he was loyal and virtuous, Li Yu still believed him; but Chen Qiao was considering his identity as a minister. Li Yu was the king and had to be wary of a middle-level general who was not originally in the central government. Moreover, he was very unfamiliar with Lin Renzhao and did not know much about it. He made Huangfu Jixun the main general, mainly because Huangfu Jixun was a person in the circle, and at least he would not sell his masters and seek honor. If Lin Renzhao, the general of the Fujian Kingdom, wanted to use the Southern Tang army as the capital for surrender, Huangfu Jixun could also restrict him.

Next, he discussed the issue of sending troops with the ministers, and Li Yu urged Huangfu Jixun to prepare for the expedition as soon as possible. Huangfu Jixun's main general led the second wing of the imperial guards to more than 40,000 troops, and Lin Renzhao's vanguard would also receive more than 10,000 people. Nearly 60,000 people were reinforced to quarry, and the troops were far greater than Li Chuyun's troops... Because Li Yu felt a strong threat from more than a hundred miles away, he did make a grand plan this time.

Then Li Yu chose another official and took the imperial edict to Hukou again, urging Zhu Lingyun to rush to the capital as soon as possible!

...Li Yu was so tired after dealing with a lot of urgent matters that he could finally leave the front hall and go to the harem to take a break.

He favored Zhou Xian alone in the harem... because he could not favor other women, and Zhou Xian knew about his physically damaged private affairs when Li Hongji mutiny. Anyway, there is no need to hide it, and he is more comfortable with Zhou Xian.

But when Li Yu saw Zhou Xian, he felt like a bucket of cold water was poured on him, and he was very unhappy.

Zhou Xian painted boringly in the bedroom, his hair and face were not dressed up, and even his clothes were very lazy, as if he didn't care about his appearance at all. Li Yu sighed "ah": "Humans say that women are to please themselves. Is Ehuang's appearance no longer me?"

Zhou Xian stood up and said lazily: "I and the king have been married for many years. You have been with me all day long. Over time, I naturally don't care so much. Besides, I don't want to go out today. It's so boring to dress up so much. It's so boring to take off when it gets dark."

"I have to worry about military and national affairs. When I am not here, Ehuang can go out to meet other concubines and find someone to accompany me." Li Yu said.

Zhou Xian looked lazy and said boredly: "What's there to talk to them? It's just trivial things, and it doesn't mean to say anything to others."

Li Yu said: "My sister has entered the palace in the palace, and she is at her mother's place. You can walk around more often and you can meet your sister."

Zhou Xian said: "The queen of mother loves her. In her heart, the queen of mother is even more close to me, so let her go."

Li Yu talked with Zhou Xian for a few words, and heard her words "boring" several times. Her spirit was also boring. She has been staying in the bedroom like this for a while and she has been entertaining herself, drawing and reviewing music scores.

Li Yu felt that this woman not only lost interest in her husband, but also seemed to not care much about the survival of the country. Humanely, only women and villains are difficult to raise. Women are like cats, and they are indeed loyal but not so reliable.
