Yan Licheng trotted to roll two rice balls, stuffed some pickles in the middle, wrapped them in a handkerchief, and rushed back to hand them to Yan Xu.

Yan Xu sat in the sedan chair, gnawing on the rice ball while thinking about how to gain authority for Kuang Zhonglei and others.

After Jian Sui died in battle, Yan Xu originally felt that he had no chance to get involved in military power for the time being, but he did not expect that it would be bright.

In terms of qualifications and fame, Kuang Zhonglei was much stronger than Jian Sui. After all, he was able to restrain Lin Zhaoqing. Jian Sui didn't want to take him with him just when he went on the battle, so he could only stay in the camp and live a life.

Kuang Zhonglei was able to deliver the secret letter to him, which clearly meant that he wanted to surrender to him. Both sides took the needs, so Yan Xu naturally had to do his best.

Li Congshan has finally been able to sleep more peacefully these days. Now the navy is firmly held in his hands, and Zheng Yanhua leads elite troops to station near Jiangning.

Tan Qihan reorganized the soldiers from Jiangbei Camp, eliminated the unqualified people, and recruited some young and strong people, barely gaining the power of a battle. Now even if the Song army suddenly surrendered outside the city, he would not be left without anyone.

"Your Majesty, I'm asking for your opinion!" Li Congshan was having a meal. Even if he was the king of the country, he had only half a duck for meat dishes.

The one who came in to report was Eunuch Li, a popular man in the palace.

If Sun Yu were here, he would definitely know him. This was the former manager of the Han King’s Mansion.

As for the original An Jinhai and Eunuch Gao, after the palace was stable, they lost their value.

"Please!" Li Congshan did not neglect at all. This time he was able to quickly stabilize the situation and Yan Xu worked hard and made great contributions.

"I have seen Your Majesty. Your Majesty, something is wrong!" Yan Xu said in a burning voice as soon as he entered the imperial study.

"What big thing happened?" Li Congshan was not surprised when he changed things. He had experienced enough things these days.

"Lin Zhaoqing, the general stationed in Jiande, intends to surrender to the rebel Sun Yu. Once he is occupied by She County, something big will be wrong!" Yan Xu tried his best to express the situation, so that Kuang Zhonglei's value can be reflected.

"Wolf ambition! No wonder he has been slow to make an appearance or lead his army back. He actually wants to surrender." Although Li Congshan had long speculated in his heart, he still felt it was difficult to accept it. This was questioning his position as the lord.

A Sun Yu, plus a Lin Zhaoqing, made Li Congshan, who originally felt a bright future suddenly become dark again.

"The Prime Minister thinks, what price can I offer to stabilize Lin Zhaoqing?" Although Li Congshan wished he could kill him quickly, he was really unable to conquer him now. The best way to win over this person is to win over him.

"Your Majesty, Lin Zhaoqing is a decisive person in the killing. As long as Sun Yu doesn't make any mistakes, we may not be able to pull him back." Yan Xu shook his head. If he was willing to look back, he would have made a statement long ago.

Besides, Sun Yu can afford to pay for the price they can offer.

"Are you just watching it threaten the hinterland of the Tang Dynasty?" Although Jiangning is prosperous, its current supply of materials is very dependent on the Jiangzhou area of ​​Raozhou. If land traffic is threatened, you can only change to water routes.

But if this has been the case, the Southern Tang Dynasty would inevitably lose control over the Jiangnan West Road area, which Li Congshan could not tolerate.

"Your Majesty, although Lin Zhaoqing is ambition, Sima Kuang Zhonglei, who is loyal and righteous, and has nearly 10,000 elite troops, is willing to share his worries. This is a handwritten letter he sent to send." Yan Xu took out the letter from his arms and handed it to Eunuch Li.

Li Congshan was originally worried

When my eyebrows were not spreading, my heart suddenly felt relieved when I heard this. As long as I had the opportunity to recover.

"I gave the order, Lin Zhaoqing was ambitious and intended to rebel, and marched Sima Kuang Zhonglei to take down this villain and kill him!" In Li Congshan's view, as long as he issued an order, Kuang Zhonglei would find an opportunity and send his confidant general Lin Zhaoqing to siege and kill him, and the rest of the people would inevitably fall and scatter.

"Your Majesty, let's take a look at the letter first. Lord Kuang has some plans in the letter, and the old minister thinks it's not bad." Yan Xu ran over with ten thousand horses in his heart. Lin Zhaoqing wanted to surrender to Sun Yu. At this time, it was a panic. How could he be easily designed by Kuang Zhonglei?

"Wouldn't this plan be given up to the elite under Lin Zhaoqing? These are all supported by my Tang Dynasty military pay." Li Congshan was not very satisfied with this plan. If he could kill Lin Zhaoqing and conquer his subordinates with the will of the court, he would be able to stand firm in Jiande and have a different offensive and defensive momentum.

Moreover, the land of Nanyue is in a turmoil now, so it is not impossible to attract all parts of Muzhou by relying on a large army.

Li Congshan is now growing in ambitions, how could he be willing to be a puppet that will be subverted by the Song Dynasty at any time? If he can quickly pacify Jiangnan, then he will be the legitimate king. Even if his brother Li Yu comes back, he will still be able to sit firmly on his position with his achievements.

"Your Majesty, you don't want it, but you really can't. Then Lin Zhaoqing is a long-time general on the battlefield. How could he be so easily plotted against? If he is seen through, not only will Lord Kuang and his subordinates be unable to protect them, but Shezhou will be in danger." Yan Xu cursed in his heart. It is enough for others to do this, so why do you still want more?

"Since that's the case, what should I do?" Li Congshan sighed in his heart. Once Lin Zhaoqing voted for the other side, it would be a great blow to the strength and prestige of the court.

"Your Majesty, Lord Kuang is unparalleled in loyalty and righteousness, so naturally he should give rewards to calm people's hearts. As for Lin Zhaoqing, the rebellious people, the whole family should be executed to serve as a warning!" Yan Xu felt that this was a good time to show his attitude, so that people all over the world could see that only by following the court was the right way.

"Shan! In addition, Zheng Yanhua was divided into 10,000 troops and rushed to Shezhou at night." Li Congshan was also afraid that Kuang Zhonglei would not be able to defend She County. Since Jiangning was safe enough at the moment, let Zheng Yanhua send someone to reinforce.

As for the death of Lin Zhaoqing's whole family, Li Congshan ignored it directly. He could not do anything and should leave a way out for himself.

Under the night, Kuang Zhonglei held the imperial edict in his hand and was so excited that he could not add to it.

This time, Li Congshan was generous enough to directly named him the governor of Xin'an. As for everyone under his command, he also had rewards. For example, the captain Dou Ling directly gave him a fourth-rank General Xuanwei, which was considered a fish leaping at the dragon gate, and it was not an exaggeration to reach the sky in one step.

"General Dou, congratulations!" The joy on the corner of Kuang Zhonglei's mouth was hard to hide. What a glory it would be to become a governor of a town.

The Xin'an Jiedushi's residence is in Shezhou, which means that if he wants to be worthy of his name, he must firmly occupy the land in Shezhou.

"It's a blessing for congratulations to the general. It's a blessing for the last general to listen to it under the general!" Dou Ling suppressed the joy in his heart. Based on the principle of being close to the water, he would be the most valued general in the Xin'an Army in the future. Even if Pan Wushuang is still on the front line.

"You and I should do our best now." Kuang Zhonglei rubbed his hands straight, and he was in the officialdom for half his life, and now he is only half a step away from his dream.

"The General said, the last general thought, this matter was

, it is better to go early than late." Dou Ling pointed outside, and it was better to retreat earlier than to have long nights.

"General Dou's words are very consistent with my wishes!" Kuang Zhonglei was also impatient. Since he had obtained the will of the country, then do so.

Kuang Zhonglei changed into a guard outfit and asked Dou Ling to take his token out of the yamen and return directly to the north gate of Jiande City.

Dou Ling ordered a team of scouts to go to search for Pan Wushuang with Kuang Zhonglei's personal guards, and asked him to take his people away overnight.

Until the second hour of Yin, Kuang Zhonglei and Dou Ling crossed mountains and ridges. This place was originally the border between the Southern Tang and Yue Kingdom. There were many mountains and barriers and few residents. Lin Zhaoqing's soldiers crossed the border and directly removed them all. Now it is convenient to hide their whereabouts.

"General, climb over the hill ahead and go to the pagoda." Dou Ling saw a pointed top of the mountain in front, which was where they agreed to gather with Pan Wushuang.

"Why haven't the scout sent back the news yet?" Even though the night marched urgently, I still let the scout go far away. Only when I live can I have everything.

"It's hard to walk on the mountain road, so it's probably delayed." Dou Ling was much more relaxed. Their evacuation tonight was just a temporary idea, and it was impossible for them to be plotted against.

Kuang Zhonglei was worried all the way and finally waited for the scout. Everything was normal under the tower.

He immediately entered Taxiaguan and waited for Pan Wushuang to lead the army to join. At present, these two thousand people would be difficult to seize power even if they entered She County.

The dilapidated stone tower is eight stories high. Standing on the top of the tower, the movements around it cannot be concealed at all.

Kuang Zhonglei and Dou Ling personally climbed to the top of the tower and prayed in their hearts that Pan Wushuang must be fast.

If nothing unexpected happens, Lin Zhaoqing will definitely find out that they have left Jiande County and will definitely send troops to chase after them in another half an hour.

"General, here we are!" When the sky was slightly bright, a team of elite soldiers marched quickly from Jiande County to Taxiaguan.

When Kuang Zhonglei heard this, he looked at it and he was indeed here, but his expression was still very nervous. At such a long distance, it was impossible to tell whether it was Pan Wushuang.

"General, let's go down first. General Pan arrives later. Let's set off immediately!" Dou Ling was already impatient. This place is not far from Jiande County. They must arrive at She County as soon as possible to have the chance to seize the city.

"Don't worry, wait!" Kuang Zhonglei suppressed his excitement. It was not yet a certain moment.

After waiting for another stick of incense, I finally could see the front of the team clearly. It turned out that two flags were running side by side. This was the secret code agreed by Kuang Zhonglei and Pan Wushuang.

"Go down!" The big rock fell in my heart, and Kuang Zhonglei's steps down the tower were filled with lightness.

Pan Wushuang led his troops and walked along the way, and was also worried. After joining Pagodaxiaguan and Kuang Zhonglei, he became much lighter.

Although She County is a county town, it is close to the borders of the two countries. The Southern Tang Dynasty built it as a military town. The city is tall and sturdy, and it is built on mountains and ridges. It is easy to defend and difficult to attack according to the terrain.

The garrison of She County was Xu Daizheng, and under his command were 5,000 elite troops brought by Jiangbei Daying, and 5,000 former She County defenders, totaling 10,000 troops.

Being able to be kept by Lin Zhaoqing to guard She County is naturally a person worthy of entrusting. He is not only loyal to Lin Zhaoqing, but also a steady and good person.
