Sun Sheng said: "I, Sun Sheng, am just a humble Confucian scholar from Shandong. I am not as good as you in writing, not as witty as you in conversation, and not as good as you in flattery and cunning. However, the Lord allows you to act and live together with the King of Qi."

Chu, I want you to teach him with benevolent words and deeds, how can he just be a friend of sensuality! Sun Sheng does not have any ability, but your ability is just to cause disaster to the country."

Soon, the emperor of the Southern Tang Dynasty developed a carbuncle on his back. He blocked the news so that no one would know about it, and secretly asked doctors to treat him. When he went to court to listen to political affairs, it was still the same as before. On February 22, the sixth year of Tianfu, his condition deteriorated seriously.

, the imperial physician Wu Tingyu sent his trusted people to summon King Qi Li Jing into the palace to attend to the disease. The Lord of the Southern Tang Dynasty said to King Qi: "I took the gold and stone elixir originally to prolong my life, but I didn't expect that it would harm my life even more. You must be vigilant and guard against this."

Something!" That evening, Li Min died. The important officials of the imperial court kept the funeral secret and issued an order: "Appoint the King of Qi to supervise the country and implement a general amnesty."

In the Southern Tang Dynasty, Li Jing ascended the throne, implemented a general amnesty, and changed the reign title to Baoda. Secretary Lang Han Xizai requested that the title be changed after the New Year, but Li Jing did not comply. He respected the queen as the empress dowager, and named Princess Zhong as the empress.

Li Jing, the leader of the Southern Tang Dynasty, was modest and prudent. When he first came to the throne, he did not call his ministers by name. He invited ministers several times to discuss political measures. Li Jianxun said to people: "The Lord is tolerant and generous, and is better than the previous emperor. But his character and habits

It has not yet been finalized, and if there are no decent people to assist it, I am afraid that it will not be able to maintain the foundation established by the late emperor."

The director of the Southern Tang Dynasty used Zhennan Jiedushi to make Song Qiqiu the Taibao and Zhongshu Ling, and Fenghua Jiedushi Zhou Zong to serve as the minister. The king of the country used Song Qiqiu and Zhou Zong as meritorious old ministers of the previous dynasty, so he obeyed and called them

He was the prime minister, but all political decisions were made by himself. Li Jingsui, the king of Shou, was transferred to be the king of Yan, and Li Jingda, the king of Xuancheng, was the king of E.

When the leader of the Southern Tang Dynasty was the King of Qi, he was involved in political affairs. Whenever he made a mistake, Chang Mengxi often spoke out and corrected him. Although Li Jing was annoyed at first, he always forgave him for speaking out and praised him in the end. When he ascended the throne, he was named

The emperor, that is, made him a Hanlin bachelor. Song Qiqiu's party members hated him, charged him with refuting the emperor's book making, and demoted him to Chizhou judge. Chizhou had many demoted officials in the Southern Tang Dynasty.

At that time, Jiedushi Wang Yanchou was very strict in guarding and controlling them, and could hardly make a living, but he still treated Chang Mengxi as he did when he was in the court.

Song Qiqiu always treated Chen Jue kindly, and the leader of the Southern Tang Dynasty also believed that Chen Jue was a capable person, so he entrusted him with important tasks. Although Feng Yanji, Feng Yanlu, and Wei Cen were former subordinates of the Qi Palace, they all attached themselves to Chen Jue.

They colluded with Zha Wenhui to manipulate and corrupt political affairs. People in the Southern Tang Dynasty called Chen Jue and others the "Five Ghosts".

Feng Yanlu was promoted from a member of the Ministry of Rites, Wailang, to a scholar of the Central Academy of Sciences, a bachelor of the Qinzheng Hall, and Jiangzhou Observer Du Changye heard about it. He sighed and said: "What the country uses to drive and control the ministers is to control the appointment and dismissal of officials. If there is a saying

The words caught the Lord's mind, and he was suddenly promoted to a prominent position. Then if there are people who have made great contributions to the country in the future, how will they be rewarded?" A few days later, the Lord of the Southern Tang Dynasty brought Wei Cen and

Zha Wenhui was promoted to Deputy Privy Envoy. After Wei Cen succeeded, when Chen Jue came home to observe mourning after his mother's funeral, Wei Cen exposed Chen Jue's faults and evil deeds and ostracized him.

Zhou Zong, the minister of the Southern Tang Dynasty, was old

, respectful and self-restrained, Zhongshu ordered Song Qiqiu to establish his own cronies extensively and do everything possible to exclude him. Zhou Zong tearfully complained to the emperor of the Southern Tang Dynasty, Chen Yu, who therefore despised Song Qiqiu. Soon, Chen Jue was alienated, so he sent Song Qiqiu to him.

Qi Qiu was sent out as Zhenhai Jiedushi. The Song envoy Qiu was very resentful and asked to return to his old retreat in Jiuhua Mountain. The Lord of the Southern Tang Dynasty knew of his deception and approved him. He gave him an edict saying: "Tomorrow's itinerary is

I promised you in the past. I really know you, so I will not go against your will." He was still given the title: Mr. Jiuhua, he was named Qingyang Gong, and he enjoyed the tax of a county. Song Qiqiu built a large mansion in Qingyang.

, banners, soldiers and horses, generals and civil servants are all the same as princes.

The Lord of the Southern Tang Dynasty sent an envoy to congratulate the Khitan for defeating the Later Jin Dynasty, and asked the Khitan to allow him to go to Chang'an to repair the tomb. The Khitan refused and sent an envoy to reply. Huangfu Hui, the governor of Mizhou of the Later Jin Dynasty, and Wang Jian, the governor of Dizhou Prefecture, avoided the Khitan and led their troops to defect.

The Southern Tang Dynasty; the bandit commanders in the Huaibei area also often asked to submit to the Southern Tang Dynasty and obeyed the orders of the Southern Tang Dynasty.

Han Xizai, a member of the Yu Department of the Southern Tang Dynasty, came up and said: "Your Majesty wants to restore the great cause of the ancestors, and now is the time! If the leader of the Huru goes north to return to his country, and there is a new master in the Central Plains, it will not be easy to deal with." At that time, the Southern Tang Dynasty was in full swing.

Fuzhou gathered troops and had no chance to take care of the north. The Southern Tang Dynasty hated this, and the later Tang Dynasty rulers also regretted the missed opportunity.

Later, the Lord of the Southern Tang Dynasty heard that the Khitan Lord Yelu Deguang had died, and Xiao Han abandoned Daliang and fled to the north. So he issued an edict: "I am attached to the Central Plains, which is the homeland of this dynasty." He sent the left and right guards to lead the army, Zhongwu.

Jiedu envoy Li Jinquan recruited envoys to camp in the north and planned to conquer the north. Hearing that Liu Zhiyuan had entered Daliang, he did not dare to send troops.

After receiving the news that Li Shouzhen had sent people to ask for help, the Lord of the Southern Tang Dynasty immediately ordered Li Jinquan, the envoy to the north, to lead his troops to rescue the people in the river. He also sent Liu Yanzhen, the envoy of the Qinghuai Festival, as his deputy, Zha Wenhui as the military supervisor, and Wei Cen as the inspection envoy along the Huaihe River.

When the Tang army arrived in Yizhou, when Li Jinquan and other generals were eating together, reconnaissance reported that there were hundreds of Han soldiers in Jianbei, all of whom were sick and weak. He requested to attack them.

Li Jinquan ordered: "Who dares to say that Jian beheads!" At night, ambushes appeared everywhere, and the sound of Ming Jin's drums could be heard for more than ten miles. Li Jinquan said: "Can we fight them just now?" Tang soldiers were tired of fighting and had no fighting spirit;

The city in the river was far away and geographically far away, so the Tang soldiers retreated to Haizhou. The emperor of the Southern Tang Dynasty sent a letter to Liu Chengyou to accuse him, requesting trade, and requesting pardon for Li Shouzhen, but the court did not reply.

Wang Jingchong repeatedly sent letters to Shu to ask for help. The Lord of Shu ordered An Siqian to send troops again to rescue. An Siqian led the troops to station in Fengzhou and requested that 400,000 hu of dendrobium be transported before leaving the country. The Lord of Shu said: "Look at An Siqian.

How can he be willing to attack for me?" But he still mobilized Xingzhou and sent tens of thousands of dendrobium from Xingyuan. An Siqian marched and stationed at Sanguan, sent horse infantry envoy Gao Yanqian, and Meizhou governor Shengui to attack

And captured the Jian'andu Village of the Later Han Dynasty.

An Siqian defeated the Han army again at Yunvtan. The Han soldiers retreated to Baoji, and An Siqian marched to station in Mobi. Han Baozhen, the general of Later Shu, sent troops from Xinguan and stationed in Shenqian, Longzhou. The Han soldiers did not go out to fight, and Han Baozhen did not dare to attack.

.

Zhao Hui asked Guo Wei for help, and Guo Wei rushed to Huazhou himself. At this time, Li Shouzhen sent deputy envoy Zhou Guangxun, deputy generals Wang Jixun and Nie Zhiyu to guard the west of the city.

Guo Wei warned Bai Wenke, and Liu Ci said: "If the bandits cannot break out of the siege, they will eventually be captured by me. If they break out of the siege, we can no longer stay here.

.The key to success or failure lies here! The elite troops of the rebel army are concentrated in the west of the city. They will break out as soon as I leave. You must be careful and guard against it!" Guo Wei came to Huazhou and heard that the Hou Shu army had run out of rations.

After retreating, Guo Wei hurriedly returned to the river. When Han Baozhen heard that An Siqian had left, he also retreated.

At night, Li Shouzhen sent Wang Jixun and others to lead more than a thousand elite troops south along the Yellow River to attack the barracks of the Later Han army. They dug holes on the embankment and climbed up, then entered the barracks and set fire to them, shouting loudly, and the barracks was in a panic. Liu

Ci, however, looked at ease and gave the order: "Young thieves should not be alarmed." He led the soldiers to fight back. Yan Jinqing, the envoy of the Hakka Province, said: "The thieves have yellow paper on their armor, which is easy to identify when illuminated by fire; but the soldiers did not

What to do with fighting spirit!"

Lieutenant General Li Tao said: "How can there be a king's salary in peace and peace, but not risking his life to fight in a crisis!" He raised his spear and led the charge, and the soldiers would follow. The soldiers in the river retreated and fled, and seven hundred people died.

Wang Jixun was seriously injured and only survived. A few days later, Guo Wei arrived, and Liu Ci went out to greet him and apologized in front of the horse's head. Guo Wei gave him a heavy reward and said: "This is what I am worried about. Without the bravery and good fighting skills of my brothers,

He was almost laughed at by the enemy. However, the enemy's tricks only ended there."

Li Shouzhen planned a sneak attack on the camp in Hexi. He first sent people out to sell wine in the village, and some were given on credit without paying. Most of the patrolling cavalry in the Later Han Dynasty were drunk, so the soldiers in the river were able to sneak into the camp and the camp was almost lost. So Guo Wei

He issued an order: "Generals and soldiers are not allowed to drink in private unless they are rewarded with a banquet!" Guo Wei's favorite general Li Shen drank some wine in the morning. Guo Wei said angrily: "You are under my account and take the lead in violating military orders. How can you unify the country?"

Everyone!" Immediately beheaded in public display.

Liu Chengyou issued an edict and ordered Jingzhou to be subordinated to the Dingnan Army. Li Yiyin submitted a petition to accuse him. Because of the troubles in the Central Plains, Li Yiyin was arrogant and arrogant. Whenever there was rebellion in the feudal town, he often helped and supported in secret.

He hoped to get a generous bribe. The court knew these things and used favors to win over him.

The food in the city in the river was about to be exhausted, and five out of ten people died of starvation. Li Shouzhen sent more than 5,000 troops, armed with ladders and bridge-building equipment, to attack the northwest corner of Changwei in five groups. Guo Wei sent the governor Wu

Qianyu led his troops to block the attack from the side. The soldiers in Hezhong were defeated and fled, killing more than half of them and taking away their offensive equipment.

Soon, Li Shouzhen sent troops again, but was defeated again. The Han army captured his generals Wei Yanlang and Zheng Bin alive. Zhou Guangxun, Wang Jixun and Nie Zhiyu led more than a thousand people to surrender. General Li Shouzhen and soldiers surrendered one after another. Guo Wei took advantage of Li Shouzhen's men to surrender.

They fell apart, and the governor led his armies to attack in the middle of the river.

Zhao Siwan liked to eat human livers. He once cut open a person's abdomen, took out the liver and cut it into thin strips. After cutting the liver, the person was still alive. He also drank people's gallbladders with wine and said to people: "Eat a thousand of these and you'll be fine."

He is so bold and invincible." When there was no food in Chang'an City, he relied on eating women and children as military rations. He had a certain amount of supply every day. Every time he rewarded the army, he slaughtered hundreds of people to eat, just like killing pigs and sheep. Zhao Siwan

I have exhausted all my strategies and I don’t know where the way out is.

When Zhao Siwan was a teenager, he asked to be the servant of General Zuo Xiaowei Li Su, but Li Su refused to accept him and said: "This man's eyes are wandering and his words are absurd. He will definitely be a traitor in the future." Li Su's wife Zhang said: "You
