Besides, after reading the preface, Chai Rong, the color of Zhou, calmed down a little, and said to Hu Li: "He asked me for peace, but his feelings are still understandable. But he should not be polite to me, so I cannot answer her. Can I know the situation in Shu for many days?" Hu Li kowtowed, and tried to declare the absurd things of Shu Lord. He also asked for the crime of failure. Chai Rong said: "Now there is something in the south, and I will let Shu last for a year or two. It is not too late to conquer the Southern Tang Dynasty and visit Western Shu again. I have forgiven you for your sins, so you can withdraw!" Hu Li withdrew thanked him.

The reply from Shu lord Meng Chang and others to the Later Zhou Dynasty never came, so they pointed to the east: "I worship the world in the suburbs. When I ascended the throne, you were just a thief in the rat. Why are you entrusted to her here today?" So they were still very close to the Later Zhou Dynasty and became an enemy country again. Shu lord Meng Chang sent a letter to ask for peace. Although Zhou lord Chai Rong did not reply, he temporarily stopped the western expedition for the south and ordered the generals to revive the brigade. He also ordered the prime minister Li Gu to deploy the front army camp of Huainan Road, and also the governor of Lu and Shou, and the governor Wang Yanchao was the deputy, and the commander Han Lingkun and other twelve generals followed the expedition together, marched to the south, and issued a manifesto first.

Soon this decree was introduced to the Southern Tang Dynasty, and the Jianghuai area was of course shocked. The Tang lord Jing only trusted the two Fengs, and Feng Yanji had once been punished and dismissed. Within a few months, he received an order to be reinstated. Feng Yanlu was appointed as Minister of Works, and Chen Jue, Wei Cen, deputy deputy to the Eastern Capital, and he also appointed him one after another. He was treacherous and treacherous, and the country's government became increasingly chaotic. Every winter, the Huai River was shallow and the Tang lord sent troops to guard the troops, calling him the Qian soldiers.

Wu Tingshao, the general of Shouzhou, thought there was nothing wrong on the battlefield, so he asked to remove the garrison soldiers, but he actually got the answer from the Tang Lord. Liu Renshan, the governor of the Qinghuai River, was unable to fight. Suddenly, he heard that the Zhou army was coming, and it was time for the cold water to dry up, and the people on the Huai River were very panicked.

Only Liu Renshan looked calm and partially guarded, exactly the same as usual, so everyone felt at ease. Liu Yanzhen, the Shenwu Army, was ordered to deploy the northern camp capital, and led 20,000 troops to Shouzhou. The Fenghua Jiedushi Tongpingzhang served as Huangfu Hui, the north camp commander, and Yao Feng, the Changzhou Tuanjian, was the support commander, and led 30,000 troops to Dingyuan County. He summoned the Zhennan Jiedushi Song Qiqiu and returned to Jinling. He was appointed as the Minister of Revenue Yin Chongyi, the Minister of Revenue, and was appointed as the Minister of Revenue, and was responsible for the military planning with Qi Qiu, and was dispatched in the middle.

The Later Zhou Du deployed Li Gu and others to lead troops to Zhengyang Town. Seeing that there was no one on the defense of Huai, they rushed to build Fuliang. After a few days, they crossed Huai and went east, and pointed directly to the city of Shouzhou. There were only more than 2,000 Tang soldiers, and they were blocking halfway, but they were not opponents of the Zhou army. They confronted them for a little while and then collapsed. Bai Yanyu, the commander of the Zhou Du, took advantage of the victory and advanced to Shankou Town. They met more than 1,000 Tang soldiers, which were not worthy of the attack of the Zhou army.

However, when attacking Shouzhou, he encountered difficulties in the city, and used many troops, but he did not achieve any results. Li Gu repeatedly wrote to Zhou Ting to report the truth. The Zhou Lord planned to personally expedition, and the Privy Councilor Zheng Renhui died of illness. The Zhou Lord sighed very much and went to mourn. The close minister reported that the direction of the year and month was not good. Zhou Lord shook his head and said, "The king and his ministers are very righteous, how can they care about the direction of the year and month?" So Chai Rong went to Zheng's house in person and cried and returned.

At this time, King Qian Hongchu of Wuyue sent a tribute envoy to offer local goods. Zhou lord Chai Rong summoned the envoys and ordered them to bring the imperial edict back to the country, asking King Wuyue to send troops to attack the Tang Dynasty. The King of Wuyue sent troops to Pingzhang and specially served Wu Cheng and attacked Changzhou. Chai Kehong, the general of the Right Wugu Guard of the Later Tang Dynasty, led his army to attack, defeated the Wuyue army, beheaded more than 10,000 levels, and Wu Cheng returned. Chai Kehong moved to Shouzhou again, but suddenly met on the way.

He died suddenly.

Shouzhou was still defending, but Li Chu failed to conquer it for a long time, so he celebrated the New Year in the camp. The New Year was already three years after the Zhou Xiande. When Zhou heard that Shouzhou was not in trouble, he decided to personally fight. He ordered Xiang Xun, the envoy of Xuanhui South Court, Quan appointed the left-behind, Wang Pu, a scholar of Duanming Palace, Han Tong, the governor of Zhangxin, to serve as the inspector of the inspectors, and to inspect the capital inside and outside the capital. He sent Li Chongjin, the commander of the guards, to go to Zhengyang, Bai Chongzan, the governor of Heyang, to camp on Yingshang, and to respond to Li Chongjin. The two of them started and supervised the imperial guards to start their journey.

At that time, Liu Yanzhen, the general of Tang, had already led troops to support Shouzhou, and had hundreds of warships, ordered him to sail to Zhengyang and destroy Zhou Fuliang. Li Chu found out the enemy's plan and summoned generals to discuss: "Our army cannot fight in water. If Zhengyang Fuliang is destroyed by bandits, he will be attacked by the enemy from both sides and have nowhere to retreat. It is better to return to Zhengyang, wait for the arrival of the carriage and follow the order to seize it." So while reporting to Master Zhou, he burned the grain and drove the camp and retreated together.

When the Lord Zhou arrived at Guzhen, he received a report from Li Chu, but he did not agree. He rushed to Chu camp and ordered the retreating troops. Li Chu had arrived in Zhengyang before he received the order, saying: "The thief general Liu Yanzhen came to save Shouzhou, but I was not afraid. I only wanted the thief ship to cover the attack along the river, cut off my Fuliang and intercept my retreat, so I had to retreat to Zhengyang. Now the thief ship is advancing day by day, and the Huai River is rising day by day. If the car is coming in person, if the food route is cut off, it is dangerous and unexpected. I hope Your Majesty will be stationed in Chenying and wait for me to check if I can make any progress again!" After reading it, Chai Rong, Zhou, felt unhappy and urged Li Chongjin to go to Huai to meet with Chu. He also told the edict: "The Tang army is here, and you must attack quickly and do not lose it!"

Li Chongjin was ordered to resist Zhengyang. When the Tang general Liu Yanzhen arrived in Shouzhou, he saw the Zhou army retreating, and wanted to pursue him. Liu Renshan advised and blocked him: "Before the public army arrived, the enemy had retreated first. I thought he was afraid of the public's power, so he fled immediately. But he could strengthen my border, so why should he fight quickly? If the pursuit fails, the major event will be reversed." Liu Yanzhen said: "Fire comes to block the water, and the soldiers come to defend the general. The enemy is already afraid to retreat. It is just right to take advantage of this attack, so what can't we do!"

Zhang Quanyou, the governor of Chizhou, tried his best to advise him, but Yanzhen was determined not to follow and drove the army forward quickly. Liu Renshan sighed: "If you meet the Zhou army, you will definitely be defeated! It seems that Shouzhou is difficult to protect. I should die for the country, and the city will survive, and the city will die." After crying, the troops were excited, so they entered the city to climb the tower, repaired the army, and decided to defend the enemy to the death.

Liu Yanzhen, who was ignorant of advancing and retreating, was originally incompetent and incompetent, and was not good at military affairs. Usually, he relied on the means of being mean to the people, and he accumulated a huge amount of wealth every day, half of which were filled with official bags, and half of which were required to obtain bribes. Therefore, Feng Yanji, Chen Jue, Wei Cen and others rushed to claim that he was governing the people like Gong, Huang, Gong Sui, Huang Ba, and Xun officials of the Han Dynasty. He also praised him for using troops like Han, Peng, Han Xin, Peng Yue, and a good general of the Han Dynasty. The Tang Dynasty believed that it was true. When he heard that the Zhou army had entered the country, he handed over the military power to him. He took it upon his resignation and rashly devoted himself to the throne. The subordinate general Xian Shilang and others were also rashly and incompetent. At that time, he was adversary and advanced to Zhengyang, with flags and baggage, and hundreds of miles.

When Zhou vanguard general Li Chongjin saw the arrival of the Tang army, he crossed the Huai East. Before he could answer Yanzhen, he led the army and rushed into the Tang army. The Tang general Xian Shilang relied on his bravery and rode his horse and danced his sword. He raised his weapons and fought for 40 or 50 rounds. He did not distinguish between the winner and the defeat. Chongjin pretended to lose and ran around the formation. He didn't know that this was a plan, so he chased him suddenly, with about 200 steps. From Chongjin, he held the knife, pulled the bow and took the arrow, and played a target.

Shi Lang had just caught up with him, only a few steps apart, and was anxious and had no way to dodge, so he caught an arrow on his left shoulder, unable to bear the pain, and knocked down his horse.

The Tang soldiers came to rescue him, but was killed by Chongjin's horse. He captured Shi Lang and sent his troops to the Gu camp. He heard that Chongjin had won the victory, so he also sent Han Lingkun and other soldiers to Yue Huai to respond. Chongjin was in charge of the Tang formation, and with a big knife, he slashed left and right, killing many people.

Although Liu Yanzhen was with many soldiers, he was unable to stand the battle. Suddenly, he met a group of people and horses. He was like a tiger entering the flock of sheep, rushing to escape. In addition, Han Lingkun and others came one after another, but they dared not to resist the enemy. In an instant, they ran around and escaped in various ways. Only Liu Yanzhen's personal army was left, how could he support it? Of course, he hugged Liu Yanzhen and walked in the desert. How could Li Chongjin be willing to forgive him? He chased him tightly. There was a small pond in front, which was not high, but it was very sharp.

The Tang army fled over the pond, and Liu Yanzhen also jumped onto the pond, not preventing the horse from losing its hooves and retreated. At the same time, he sent Yanzhen to fall off the horse and rolled down to the pond. Coincidentally, Li Chongjin chased him and chopped Yanzhen into two pieces with one knife! In addition, the Tang soldiers who fled four times were killed by the Zhou army, beheaded more than 10,000, and buried their bodies for thirty miles. The military supplies and equipment were abandoned everywhere. The Zhou army slowly moved away, and a total of more than 200,000 pieces were obtained.

The governor of Tang, Zhang Quan, made an appointment with the army to transport grain to pay for the front army. When the defeated soldiers fled, he reported that Yanzhen died in battle and rushed to Shouzhou. All the disabled Yanzhen fled to the city of Shouzhou. Liu Renshan submitted a letter to Quan as the commander of the Mabu Zuoxiang, guarding the city of Zhou. Huangfu Hui and Yao Feng heard that Yanzhen had defeated his troops, so he did not dare to stay in Dingyuan County, so he retreated to Qingliu Pass. Wang Shaoyan, the governor of Chuzhou, had already entrusted the city to escape.

When the Zhou Lord learned that Zhengyang was victorious, he also went from Chenzhou to Zhengyang and ordered Li Chongjin to serve as the recruitment envoy. However, he ordered Gu to be the governor of Shouzhou, and he supervised the army to attack Shouzhou. He moved south to the Feishui River and moved to Fuliang, Zhengyang to Xiacai Town. He also summoned hundreds of thousands of places, including Song, Bo, Chen, Ying, Xu, Su, Xu, Cai, etc., to besiege Shouzhou day and night. Liu Renshan had prepared enough to guard the equipment, and fired arrows and stones in the city every day, and fired cannons to raise ashes, so that the Zhou army could not lose its city. Although there were many Zhou troops, they had no way to make progress, so they had to stay at the city; the Zhou Lord had nothing to do.

Suddenly, the governor of Tang Dynasty, He Yanxi led more than a hundred warships to camp in Tushan to support Shouzhou. He summoned Zhao Kuangyin, the tent of the capital in front of the palace, and said, "He Yanxi came to support Shouzhou, but he set up a camp at the foot of Tushan. He dared not come here, and he did not think he could have any ability. However, the guards in Shouzhou City, who have received this support, are not easy to shake. You can lead the troops to destroy this camp."

Zhao Kuangyin took the order and led 5,000 troops to Tushan. He saw the Tang army under Zhoushan from a distance, but there was a row of orders. There was only one battalion on the shore. He Yanxi was stationed, so he said to his generals: "Our army is an army, and the enemy is a navy. The host and guest are different in shape. How to defeat the enemy! I used a plan to eliminate him." Then he selected more than a hundred old and weak soldiers, taught him secret words, and went to lure the enemy camp, and led the spirit cavalry to ambush the vortex entrance. He Yanxi was sitting in the camp, thinking that he was lonely and dangerous in Shouzhou, and he couldn't save him immediately, and he felt like a wheelbarrow.

Suddenly, a military officer came in to report: "The Zhou army is here!" Yan Xi immediately got on the horse, recruited the navy, and went out to fight. There were only more than a hundred cavalry and Zhou soldiers outside the camp, and they were both old and young, either long or short. Yan Xi couldn't help laughing and said, "I tell you how the Zhou army is profitable and bad, how could I know it is such a person! Do you also want to kick my camp?" Then he led the soldiers to kill him.
