1090 Large-scale water battle is inevitable after all

"The Gyeonggi Army Department has dispatched a separate army to escort Lu's son Lu Yanchang and Lu Yanzhang, and to Shuzhou on the north bank of the Yangtze River with Mr. Tan. To this day, they can finally return to their hometown. When our army arrives in Qianzhou, Mr. Tan and others can head south to recruit local soldiers and civilians."

Li Tianqu ordered again, thinking that because Qianzhou was taken over by the Wu Kingdom, he was the governor of the local area. Lu Guangchou, who was known as King Lu, and his family, was defeated and rushed east to the State of Min. King Shenzhi of Fujian, was a leader who had never liked to cause trouble, so he arranged for Lu Guangchou and his group to ferry north to return to the Wei Dynasty... At that time, Li Tianqu treated Lu Guangchou and others with great courtesy, and was given the above-mentioned prefectures, official positions and titles, and respected them as the old man who loved the people as a son and was highly respected, which deeply moved Lu Guangchou.

Now it is almost time to use Lu Guangchou's influence in the southern border of Jiangxi to encourage the southern territory of Zhennan Army to return to the Wei Dynasty as soon as possible.

Although Lu Guangchou, who was peaceful and retired in Bianjing, had already died in his sanctuary a few years ago, Li Tianqu personally issued an order to carry out funerals by the court, and even posthumously named him King Zhonghui Guangli according to the historical trajectory, allowing Lu Guangchou to be buried with great prosperity... His eldest son Lu Yanchang and second son Lu Yanxun were naturally willing to use it for the Wei Dynasty. What's more important is that Lu Guangchou's close friend and confidant had outstanding political achievements during his tenure in Qianzhou, and his reputation in southern Jiangxi was second only to King Lu. Tan Quanbo, who was still alive.

Li Tianquxin said that Qianzhou was renamed Ganzhou during the Song Dynasty, and its territory included the southern boundaries of Jiangxi Province in later generations, but it was a real big prefecture. Lu Guangchou was concerned about the welfare of the Han family, She, Miao and other ethnic groups in the local area, and played an important role in the formation of the Hakka tribes in southern Jiangxi. He was grateful to the people and could also be summarized as respectful to the gods.

After all, after Lu Guangchou passed away, the people of Qianzhou built temples and statues for him everywhere, and even incense was still very popular in later generations. At this time, local people have personally received his kindness and favors. What effect will happen when Lu Guangchou's descendants and his most trusted close friend return to their hometown?

At present, Xu Wen had a shallow foundation for the rule of the Zhennan Army, including the southern Gan area. Li Tianqu thought that if at this time, Lu Guangchou's descendants, and even the confidant Tan Quanbo, who was loved by the people in the local area, returned to his hometown under the guidance of the Wei Dynasty military, and raised his arms, the soldiers and civilians of Qianzhou would also respond. If the prefectures of Jiang, Ji and Qian were captured one after another, the morale of the Wu army in other territories of Zhennan Army was further hit and he would be more likely to give up resistance directly.

If the war goes well, we will first capture Jiangzhou and then conquer Jizhou and other places, and then attack Qianzhou as soon as possible... The Wei Dynasty also has another purpose, which is to cut off the connection between Wu and Chu State in the west. When Ma Yin's second son Ma Xisheng, who was in charge of Hunan and Chu State, moved, the army gathered in Jiangling of the Wei Dynasty will immediately send troops, and it will be more beneficial to defeat Wu and Chu sides.

However, Li Tianqu was also very clear that even if he took over the entire Zhennan Army, it would not be enough to destroy the Wu Kingdom. After all, the central government of Wu Kingdom was Shengzhou, which Xu Wen had managed well in recent years, and even his adopted son Xu Zhigao took charge of the court. Now Xuanzhou Xuancheng, which is still the capital... Realizing that the Wei army was moving south in a large scale, Xu Wen would never wait to die.

The key to the national war between Wei and Wu is who can gain the initiative in the Yangtze River waters. The biggest reliance of Wu is the navy. Li Tianqu thought that as the saying goes, ten years of hard work, I made arrangements and deployments a long time ago. After years of improvement and development, the navy's naval naval can be equipped according to conventional conditions, and can be used in war-scale weapons... Now it must be a weapon to win...

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

Located in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River, Sun Wu moved his capital here during the Three Kingdoms period. During the Southern and Northern Dynasties, the territory of Shengzhou, which had a population of one million. According to Xu Wen's plan, it was about to be promoted to Jinling Prefecture in the near future.

Although there were constant chaotic times in the late Tang Dynasty and chaotic times in the world, since the Wu Kingdom captured Shengzhou, which was originally dominated by Feng Hongduo, and then became the hinterland of its own forces. Even though Yang Xingmi had fought with King Qian Liu of Wu Yue, and then Xu Wen attacked each other with Liu Wei, Tao Ya and others, the war had not affected the territory of Shengzhou.

In addition, although Xu Wen was a conspirator, he had some political talents... He was well-managed, and with his unique geographical advantages, there are now endless ships to and from the port, with tens of thousands of merchants and crowded with people in the city. It is naturally the most prosperous city under the rule of the Wu State.

However, in the past few days, the city and neighborhoods in Shangyuan City were still prosperous, but the city was panicked. No matter rich, gentry, peddlers and pawns, most of the faces looked worried when talking to people who were familiar... After all, the Wei Dynasty suddenly sent troops to attack Hukou and seized the river. The news that Ji and Jizhou had also spread to the boundaries of Shengzhou, which shocked the whole country of Wu.

The enemy who launched troops to invade the territory this time was not the Wu Yue Kingdom, which had eased the situation between each other in recent years, nor was it the warlord who usually occupied one town and one state and wanted to confront Xu Wen... This time, the army had already been sent out and large-scale attacks were the formerly across the river and staked the Central Plains, claiming the truth, and in the past, our side had to pay tribute to express their surrender to the other side... It was the Wei Dynasty that was about to storm that was about to come, and the wind was filled with the tower, and the black clouds were about to destroy the city. After most people in the state of Wu learned about this news, their fear would of course spread immediately.

Located in Shangyuan, Shengzhou, the Qinhuai River in the south, the Houhu Lake in the north, and the Yangtze River in the west, the Jiankang Palace, which was originally recorded in history books, although the palace gardens were flattened in the Sui Dynasty during the fall of the Southern Chen period, the palace gardens were flat, but with the Yang and Wu regime in charge, Xu Wen built Jinling City on the former site of Jiankang. Now, three layers of inside and outside the palace walls have been built, with the establishment of an official institution and the inner courtyards. Since the palace pavilion is overwhelming, the palaces and the palaces are beautiful. Compared with the capital of the Wu Kingdom, Xuancheng, it is more like the palace palace where the king of a country is located.

In theory, even though Xu Wen was named the Prince of Donghai, he also had a prime minister, general of military affairs in China and abroad, commanders of all the thrones, governors of the various states, governors of the towns, and even the Grand Marshal and the Secretariat, he was nominally not the king of a country. The palace size that he intended to build Jinling City had exceeded the palace where the King of Wu was, and of course it was enough to cure his arrogance.

But now Xu Wen has defeated all the forces in the country that oppose him, and he is also firmly controlled by the king Yang Longyan. All the civil and military officials in the court are well aware that the Wu Kingdom has now formed a pattern of "sacrificing the Yang family, and politically coming from the Xu family in the East China Sea". Who dares to jump out and scold him for surpassing his duties as a minister and being disrespectful to the king?

However, even if Xu Wen sat upright on the head of the palace, the bureaucrats in front of him stood in a few rows, and he was like a courtier in the court senator, making him look like a king in charge of the country's affairs... But Xu Wen's face was gloomy and his chest was fluctuating. He was obviously angry, and he was so shocked that all the ministers did not dare to take a breath. However, a look of panic and anxiousness flashed in the eyes of the pair of sinister tests...

The Wei Dynasty actually launched a fierce attack and launched a large-scale attack. It’s a pity that Li Tianqu didn’t come early or late, but he was coming now! Could it be... I secretly interacted with the Khitan, intending to jointly attack the Central Plains in the future, and change the plan of our Wu Kingdom surrendering to the Wei Dynasty?

At this time, Xu Wen was still thinking angrily... Of course, he knew that the Khitan king Yelu Abaoji was now heading east and wanted to annex the Bohai Kingdom in one fell swoop. However, it was important to deal with the Wei Dynasty together, and he had to join the line and make more contact. When the Khitan had the spare time to look south on the Central Plains, he could only respond with it as soon as possible... During this period, he would inevitably pass through the Maritime Port under the Wei Dynasty's rule, and of course he would be inhabited with some risks. But Xu Wen certainly would not know that Li Tianqu had already foreseen that the Wu Kingdom would have plans to collude with the Khitan, so he made arrangements early... Once he really wanted to implement this plan, the possibility of the conspiracy being exposed would be quite great...

However, what Xu Wen knew very well was that the conspiracy planned secretly was conspiracy, and although it was not appropriate to start a war with the Wei Dynasty now, Li Tianqu had sent troops to enter the territory of Wu, so he could only break up with him!
