Chapter 93 Southern Tang attacked Fuzhou City again
Nan Tang spent a lot of military, material and financial resources to successfully eliminate the Wang Min Kingdom, but due to the emergence of unsuccessful moves, half of the cooked ducks flew away and only captured Jian and Ting states.
The original territory of the Fujian Kingdom was divided by three military forces. Wu Yue lived in the northeast, Liu Congxiao lived in the southeast, and the west was controlled by the Southern Tang Dynasty. Fujian began to enter a new era, a small era of Romance of the Three Kingdoms!
In December of the seventh year of Baoda, the land of Fujian, which had been calm for more than two years, was stirred up again, and something happened in Zhangzhou. After Lin Zanyao launched a rebellion, Dong Si'an, the general of Liu Congxia, was appointed as the governor of the government. Dong Si'an's father was named Dong Zhang. In order to avoid his father's name, Dong Si'an specially applied to the Southern Tang Dynasty to change his name, and Li Jing changed Zhangzhou to Nanzhou.
After the First Battle of Fuzhou, Dong Si'an keenly noticed the situation of three-point Fujian. Dong Si'an did not express his clear opposition or support for his old superiors' separatist independent practice. He just wanted to live his life as a governor safely. However, the complex situation in Fujian could not allow Dong Si'an to protect himself.
Zhangzhou is located on the coast of Fujian and is close to Quanzhou. It is also a city dominated by maritime trade. Quanzhou's influence on Zhangzhou cannot be underestimated. Zhangzhou is nominally the prefecture of the Southern Tang Dynasty, but the Southern Tang Dynasty also did not arrange troops to be stationed in Zhangzhou. Zhangzhou was still the former former minister of the Fujian State, especially Liu Congxiao, and arranged for his brother Liu Cong to serve as the deputy envoy of Zhangzhou, and he had secretly prepared to annex Zhangzhou.
For Dong Si'an, the wisest choice should be to take the initiative to give up the position of governor of Zhangzhou to Liu Congyuan and actively express allegiance to Liu Congxiao. However, Dong Si'an is more concerned about loyalty and righteousness. In the Jianzhou rescue war, Dong Si'an persisted until the last moment of the demise of the Fujian Kingdom in order to rescue Wang Yanzheng.
Although the Min Kingdom was destroyed, Dong Si'an believed that Nan Tang should be his new master. However, Liu Congxiao was his former senior. Dong Si'an was a little hesitant about how to take the team. It was his attitude that caused him to be killed.
In December of the seventh year of Baoda University, the deputy envoy Liu Congyuan was idle and invited the governor Dong Si'an to drink and chat. It was normal for the two chiefs and deputy leaders to have a party to drink together. Of course, Dong Si'an was not prepared at all, but Liu Congyuan prepared poison wine for Dong Si'an. After Dong Si'an finished drinking, he died immediately.
After Dong Si'an was killed, Liu Congyuan immediately occupied Zhangzhou, and then announced that he would rely on his younger brother Liu Congxian. Liu Congxian, who had always been very particular about not bleed or killed, was cruel to Dong Si'an's issue. He got the whole of Zhangzhou after a bloody and cruel time. Of course, Liu Congxian was a good deal!
Originally, he was not weak in strength, and he obtained Zhangzhou and controlled the two prefectures of Fujian to further enhance the strength of Liu Congjing. This is not good news for the other two major military forces in Fujian. Although Liu Congjing's efforts to be separatist and independent made both the two groups hate it, the existence of Liu Congjing made the Southern Tang and Wu Yue dared not easily attack Quan and Zhang. The smart Liu Congjing was very clear about his current value.
For the Wu and Yue Kingdom, if they sent troops to attack Quan and Zhang, it would inevitably lead to weak defense in Fuzhou, and the Southern Tang would never miss this opportunity. For the Southern Tang Kingdom, if they sent troops to attack Quan and Zhang, the areas they controlled would also be empty in defense, and Wu and Yue would of course take the opportunity to take the opportunity.
send troops.
Liu Congxiao was able to defeat Zhu Wenjin and Li Renda in the two Quanzhou defense battles respectively. Of course, there was some military command ability. In real fighting, Southern Tang and Wu Yue might not be able to gain much advantage. Southern Tang and Wu Yue did not attack Liu Congxiao easily, but on the contrary, they were looking for opportunities to win over Liu Congxiao.
The Southern Tang worked very actively in winning over Liu Congxian. Dong Si'an was poisoned to death by Liu Congyi. The Southern Tang did not see that Liu Congyi was dependent on Zhangzhou, and the Southern Tang also said that there was no problem. Li Jing also took the initiative to upgrade Quanzhou to the Qingyuan Army, and Liu Congxia was appointed as the governor of the Qingyuan Army and Quan, and the observer of Zhangzhou. He was high and powerful.
Li Jing is not a fool. He spared no effort to win over Liu Congjie because the Southern Tang was actively planning the second battle for Fuzhou. Before that, Liu Congjie must be comforted. The tragic defeat at Fuzhou City two years ago made Li Jing very unwilling. He has been preparing for his troops and accumulating strength, waiting for the opportunity to attack Fuzhou City again.
As the new governor of the Yong'an Army, Cha Wenhui, who stayed behind, has also been paying close attention to the dynamics of Fuzhou City. In order to successfully break through Fuzhou City, Cha Wenhui secretly bribed a group of former Fujian soldiers from Fuzhou City to serve as his spy eyewitness in Fuzhou City and provide him with military intelligence.
In February of the eighth year of Baoda, the governor of the Yong'an Army, Liu Hou, Cha Wenhui, received an important military intelligence about Fuzhou City. His spies in Fuzhou reported to him that the main force of Wu Yue had abandoned the city and returned to Wu Yue. The former soldiers of Fujian from Fuzhou City planned to dedicate Fuzhou City to the Southern Tang Dynasty, hoping that Cha Wenhui would send troops to occupy Fuzhou City as soon as possible.
Cha Wenhui did not learn from the failures of his colleagues. He was eager to make contributions and was eager to achieve meritorious deeds. He blindly believed such an important military intelligence without any analysis or judgment, and then quickly arranged the dispatch of troops to Fuzhou. Chen Hui, the governor of Jianzhou, was appointed by Cha Wenhui Committee, responsible for leading the navy and attacking Fuzhou from the Minjiang River. Cha Wenhui led all the infantry and cavalry troops, marched by land, and the target was also Fuzhou City.
Chen Hui participated in the Fuzhou Battle two years ago, but as a surrendered general of the Fujian Kingdom, he was not valued. He ended up doing nothing and was submerged among the defeated generals of the Southern Tang Dynasty. After being valued, Chen Hui was determined to prove his military command ability on the battlefield. On the day Chen Hui led his troops, heavy rain suddenly fell in Jianzhou area, and the water level of the Minjiang River suddenly surged, which brought great difficulties to Chen Hui's marching.
Chen Hui was not afraid and personally directed the warships to sail on the front line, cleverly avoiding the dangerous reefs and shoals, and went downstream overnight, marching for more than 700 miles. The next day, he arrived on the Nantai River outside Fuzhou City. However, Chen Hui found that the Wu Yue army did not seem to have evacuated Fuzhou. On the Nantai River, the Wu Yue army was waiting for his arrival.
When Li Ruyun's head was sent from Fuzhou to Hangzhou City, Qian Hongneng was not happy, but a feeling of regret! Li Ruyun, who trusted him extremely, Qian Hongneng had more of helpless regret. On the issue of Li Ruyun's rebellion, Qian Hongneng thought of another problem, Hu Jinsi's problem.
At the beginning, Hu Jinsi tried his best to help Li Rubin say good things and let Li Ruyun return to Fuzhou. Now that Li Ruyun has made such a big mistake, Hu Jinsi is to blame. Qian Hongnei even suspected Hu Jinsi and believed that he was suspected of colluding with Li Ruyun to conspire to rebel.
You want to be the best-in-class official
, arrogant and domineering, playing with the government and conspiring to rebel, do you want to be so arrogant, so I, the king, just let it go, so I don’t need to endure, and I have to take action first! Concerning about Hu Jinsi’s complex and huge forces in the Neiya army, Qian Hongnei decided to take the first gentle plan first to persuade Hu Jinsi to retreat.
Qian Honggui ordered Hu Jinsi to leave the Neiya Army and work in the local prefectures, in the name of "living for the elderly and enjoying happiness", but in fact he planned to undermine Hu Jinsi's military power, but was rejected by Hu Jinsi. Hu Jinsi knew very well that giving up the Neiya Army's military power would be equivalent to abolishing his martial arts and waiting to be slaughtered.
The king's orders were not good, and Qian Hongnei was very depressed. He finally understood Hu Jinsi's status and weight in Wu Yue Kingdom. A gentle plan was not feasible, so he could only implement a rough plan. Qian Hongnei had only been the king of Wu Yue for half a year, and had not had time to cultivate his confidant forces in the Neiya army. Except for his uncle who served as Lu Guangxuan, Qian Hongnei had almost no generals of the Neiya army that he could fully trust, so he could only find reliable partners based on his intuition and feeling. He Chengxun, the commander of the Neiya army, and the commander of the Neiya army, Shui Qiu Zhaojun, became the two generals that Qian Hongnei had high hopes for.
The reason is that He Chengxun is usually unknown in the Neiya army, and does not show any signs of dew. On the surface, he does not rely on Hu Jinsi. Shuiqiu Zhaoquan is an old foreign relative of the Qian family. He has always been loyal to the Qian family. Qian Hongneng's intuition and feeling is only 50% accurate.
The conspiracy meeting to eliminate Hu Jinsi by force was held under the leadership of Qian Hongnei. For He Chengxun, who had low qualifications and prestige, helping Qian Hongnei eliminate Hu Jinsi was indeed an excellent opportunity to be promoted and promoted. The premise is that Qian Hongnei has enough strength to kill Hu Jinsi, so He Chengxun has no big objection to the plan to eliminate Hu Jinsi by force.
But as another conspirator, Shui Qiu Zhaoqiu was more cautious in his consideration. Shui Qiu Zhaoqiu saw all the misconduct of Hu Jinsi for half a year. Seven years of bloody internal struggles by the Neiya Army have caused many generals who are capable of confronting Hu Jinsi. Just by relying on his own and He Chengxun's strength to kill Hu Jinsi, if the plan fails, everyone will suffer a catastrophe.
Shui Qiu Zhaojun suggested: "Hu Jinsi's party flanks are strong and they can't be caught off guard. It's better to let him go and wait for the future." After listening to Shui Qiu Zhaojun's suggestion, Qian Hongnei fell into a state of contemplation and wanted to quickly eliminate the hateful Hu Jinsi, but he was worried that he would not be able to deal with Hu Jinsi, which would harm him. Qian Hongnei, who was impatient and decisive in doing things, rarely had a tangle. The manifestation of confusion is hesitation, and the consequence of hesitation is delaying major events!
He Chengxun is not Hu Jinsi's persuasion, but it does not mean that he really has the courage and strength to challenge Hu Jinsi. If He Chengxun dares to try it out with Qian Hongnei's secret support, then if Qian Hongnei hesitated about it, He Chengxun naturally has his own way of thinking. The conspiracy meeting has been held, and Qian Hongnei is still hesitating. If Hu Jinsi knows the content of this conspiracy meeting, he will sooner or later be killed by Hu Jinsi.
Qian Hongnei seemed unreliable. Maybe he should be self-protection. Standing on Hu Jinsi's side, he seemed to have a better chance of winning. So He Chengxun decided to report the content of the conspiracy meeting to Hu Jinsi secretly. Qian Hongnei was busy preparing to eliminate Hu Jinsi, and Hu Jinsi would certainly not be indifferent and let him slaughter.
