In September, Zhao Kuangyin made a move and finally began to take over Huainan. The first step was to ask Li Chongjin to move. As long as he understood the history of the Five Dynasties, he knew that all emperors started to deal with the disobedient Jiedushi from this step. Zhao Kuangyin appointed Li Chongjin as the Jiedushi of Pinglu Army in Qingzhou. Then Zhao Kuangyin sent Chen Sihui to give Li Chongjin with an iron coupon. However, Zhai Shouxun had long said that the iron coupon could not be bought by Li Chongjin. But to be honest, when Li Chongjin saw this black iron coupon in the first day of the first lunar month, and with Chen Sihui's mouth, he was really true at first. I had such an impulse to go to Beijing to report my work, and then take office in Qingzhou. But as soon as he was about to move, someone dissuaded me. Secretary Shi: The left and right were frustrated, Chongjin was hesitant. I guess there was a very likely one of our excellent agents Zhai Shouxun. The so-called undercover is not afraid of the boss being shady to the end, but afraid that the boss will become a good person. Li Chongjin finally failed to seize this last opportunity. He detained the envoy Chen and stepped up his military preparations. He also sent someone to ask for help from Li Jing of the Southern Tang Dynasty. Li Jing did not dare to accept it, so he handed the letter over and handed it over to the Song Taizu case.

On September 26, Zhao Kuangyin issued an edict to remove all his official positions from Li Chongjin, ordering Shi Shouxin, Wang Shenqi, Li Chuyun and Song Yanwo to lead the imperial guards to the expedition.

Next, Li Chongjin made a major problem, which instantly disintegrated his morale. The reason was that Yangzhou governor An Yougui was unwilling to sit on the Yangzhou anti-ship sank to the end and ran away. Li Chongjin was furious and launched a rectification campaign. He arrested dozens of military academies who he thought were suspected of running away, and cut off his head without asking for the reason.

Li Yun was too confident, while Li Chongjin went to another extreme: he had no confidence at all, and felt that there was no one around him who could trust him. So after this killing, everyone in the army was heartbroken. It would be strange if Li Chongjin could be the emperor like this.

Let’s take a look at Zhao Pu’s evaluation of Li Chongjin: Li Chongjin defended the inferior strategy of Xue (Ying Bu rebelled, and Emperor Gaozu of Han Liu Bang asked about the advice of Xue Gong. Xue Gong claimed that Yingbu had three strategies: the best strategy, Shandong was not Han. The middle strategy was not known. The victory or defeat was unknown. The worst strategy was not allowed to be taken. Your Majesty can be free from worries), the distant plan of Wuhou (Zhuge Liang) was based on the long-standing plan, and repairing the lonely building. Without Zhuge Dan’s kindness and trust, the soldiers were disinterested. With Yuan Benchu’s strong beam, he did not use the strategy. He did not use the external rescue, but lacked resources. He also took the urgent attack, and he also took the slow attack. The military strategy is still fast, so it is better to take it quickly. Who said that Zhao Pu only ruled the world with half of the Analects of Confucius? This call quotes classics and shows that Li Chongjin’s analysis is full of talent.

On October 21, the first year of Jianlong (960), Wu Tingzuo was appointed as the leader of Tokyo, and Zhao Guangyi deployed for the Da Nei Capital, and issued an edict to personally fight again. On the 24th, the army left Kaifeng City. On November 11, Zhao Kuangyin personally visited the city of Yangzhou. On that day, Yangzhou City was broken. Li Chongjin, who was invincible in the battlefield, was so depressed when he was defeated that he did not even make Song Taizu pay the price of blood.

In Yangzhou City, another raging fire was greeted by Song Taizu. Li Chongjin also chose to be buried in the sea of ​​fire. So far, the three people in "History of the Song Dynasty: Biography of Zhou Sanchen": Han Tong, Li Yun, and Li Chongjin have all been reported to the book.

The envoy of Chen who was detained in Yangzhou City, Li Chongjin released him before the clan (brother Chongxing, younger brother Chongzan, and son Yanfu) went to the fire. However, his freedom and life were only a few hours, and he was killed by the rebels in the chaos. However, Song Taizu did not owe another meritorious minister, Zhai Shouxun. He asked him to make up for the official position and soon promoted to a tribute official, becoming a close minister of the emperor.

On November 24, Zhao Kuangyin met with Yan Xu, Li Congjian and Feng Yanlu's three-member group sent by Li Jing in Yangzhou. The first sentence was to reproach "Why did your king communicate with my traitor?" Unexpectedly, Feng Yanlu remained calm and refused to change his face and said, "Your Majesty only knows how to communicate, but he did not know how to incur his rebellion." He added fuel to the fire! The angry Zhao Kuangyin still asked: What do you mean by saying this? Feng "Li Chongjin sent the envoy across the river to live in my home. The words of our king were conveyed to me. The king said, "Rebellion is understandable, but you lost the opportunity. When Li Yun rebelled, you should rebel with him. Now you use the power of a state to fight against the elite soldiers of the entire court. Even if you are Han Xin reborn, Bai Qi will not succeed. I South

The Tang Dynasty dared not help you. That's it. Li Chongjin failed. What's wrong with our Southern Tang?" At this time, Zhao Kuangyin was obviously unprepared and could not speak out the words that passed down from generation to generation like he was 15 years later. He just lowered his face and asked, "Even if it's right. But all the generals advised me to cross the river. What do you think?" "Li Chongjin is invincible, but he is not in front of you. What's more, our Southern Tang? But the late emperor also left us tens of thousands of elite soldiers. If you are willing to fight with tens of thousands of soldiers, then we have nothing to say. However, the Yangtze River has been in danger since ancient times. If you enter the city without conquering and retreat to the lack of food, you want to end the debate by yourself." Zhao Kuangyin smiled slightly and ended the debate with his last sentence. "I'm just a joke with you, but I didn't expect you to be a lobbyist."

On November 29, Zhao Kuangyin ordered Li Chuyun to take over all affairs in Yangzhou. He set off on December 4 and returned to Kaifeng on the 21st. When he returned to Kaifeng, he became listless all day long. Someone asked him, and he shook his head and sighed, looking very distressed. "Do you think it's good to be the emperor, right? Alas... it's far worse than being a Jiedu..." How could others comfort him? Could it be that he fulfilled his wish, and everyone worked together to rebel and beat him back to the original form of Jiedu? This joke was a bit big, so Zhao Kuangyin could only continue to be depressed until his mood became very bad.

I was so annoying that he could only have fun by himself, and used a slingshot to shoot birds in his back garden. One day in December, an official suddenly asked for an emergency. Zhao Kuangyin did not dare to be negligent, thinking that something big happened, so he met immediately. As a result, this guy said that it was common things. Zhao Kuangyin became angry and asked him what he was doing. But this guy didn't care at all, and he said it back, "I think no matter how small the matter is, it's more urgent than playing birds." Zhao Kuangyin was angry and raised his axe (this record shows that Song Taizu was always holding a handful of
