Yangzhou, March 5th, this day is very ordinary, but the entire Huainan is shrouded in drizzle, and there is a layer of heavy fog every day.

This is good and bad, but it is good news for Li Chongjin, who is now entrenched in Huainan and has a weak strength.

"Master, the ship from Lingnan has arrived. It is more abundant today than last time. There are many weapons, armor and equipment, but some are stained with blood and many incomplete ones. They said they gave it to us. I looked at it and it was still useful to repair it!"

A middle-aged man walked in quickly and was one of Li Chongjin's staff members. He was currently in charge of contact with Lingnan. He was a little wet. The literati was fragile and shivered when he spoke, and he was not very straightforward.

"I have heard of it for a long time. When the two Tang countries fought a war, they all said that the other party was fake. It was ridiculous! However, Lingnan won. These weapons may be from the Tang countries. Li Jing's old man has fallen to such a state, and it is the credit of the late emperor!"

Li Chongjin sneered and slowly fell into memories again. How powerful the Great Zhou was at that time. He fought against the Southern Tang three times and obtained the land of Huainan, and he was honored with it, enjoying compliments and wealth, rather than practicing troops so deliberately, and always worried about being killed by the Tokyo Imperial Guards.

As the former leader of the imperial guards, Li Chongjin knew the imperial guards very well.

"What, hasn't the rain stopped yet?"

"There was a shower this morning, and now it's drizzling. However, the rain in spring is not as urgent as summer. It's just that it's still continuous and continuous underground, which is really annoying!"

The staff member had a happy look on his face: "The spring rain is continuous, the ground is muddy, and the imperial guards will definitely not go out!"

In March, I couldn't sit down for a long time. After hearing this, Li Chongjin felt a little cold, so he ordered the maid to burn a bigger brazier, and her body was warm and comfortable.

He had been sitting in the study just now, slowly reading some old military order documents, all about Huainan, and he was also somewhat suspicious of the army under his command.

"There are more military weapons transported in Lingnan, so there will be less food and grass. In this moment of incompetence, there should be no sloppy!"

Li Chongjin suddenly opened the curtains again, blew the cold spring wind, and on the other side, the brazier was burning vigorously. This feeling of ice and fire was really refreshing, and his brain became more and more awake:

"In such weather, it is believed that people will not be able to travel easily, and it will inevitably be difficult to solve the problem of food and clothing. The job of recruiting soldiers should be simpler!"

"The weapons are relatively abundant now, but the swords made of 100 steel are indeed powerful, but the price is indeed dozens of times. The warehouse has almost been emptied by it, and only three thousand people have been assembled. It is difficult, difficult..."

"You have more contact with Lingnan and buy more people if you can, especially those with sharp weapons that were previously so sharp! "

After calming down for a while, looking at the trembling aide and servant, Li Chongjin closed the window and baked it next to the brazier.

"Yes!" The staff organized the language and continued: "The gentry seemed to have noticed something. Now they have spent a lot of money to go to the merchant ships in Lingnan. In these days, hundreds of families have been traveling!"

"It's good to leave, don't worry about them. It's the last thing I do for the people when I guard Huainan!" Li Chongjin sighed, his voice quiet:

"Since they all left, they sold all the things they left behind, whether they were land or shops. Those Lingnan people could buy them if they wanted to!"

"The money sold is all purchased from Wu Yue, Southern Tang, and even Nanping. What you need most now is food!"

Li Chongjin raised his head and looked calm and asked, "Is there anything else?"

"Chen Yang from Lingnan asked for a meeting and said that he would bring you some gifts to the master!" the aide continued.

"Oh? That brave businessman, let him come to see me!" Li Chongjin immediately thought of the Lingnan merchant who gave him a reminder. He was shocked in his heart. The news last time was not small, and this time it might be even bigger!

After sorting out his mood, Li Chongjin was even a little nervous about seeing this businessman.

"I've seen Envoy Li!" Chen Yang raised his head and walked in step by step, without any inferiority of a merchant. He is now the emperor's special envoy, and he is full of confidence in a local governor and a rebel.

"I wonder if I am satisfied with the gift I sent to congratulate your country last time?" Li Chongjin asked.

"The saint is very satisfied with the gift from the envoy, and it has greatly promoted the cooperation between us!"

Chen Yang said seriously, God knows how this is a promotion method!

Li Chongjin understood that it was the large number of weapons transported here this time, nodded and said:

"I don't know what advice is there for the noble envoy. The transactions on weekdays should be handled by his subordinates!"

"This matter is not big, nor is it small!" Chen Yang said jokingly: "Of course, in my opinion, it is very important to you, Jun!"

"Oh?" Then, Chen Yang handed over a letter, which stated his special envoy, Zhai Shouhan, the close aide of Li Yun, the governor of the Zhaoyi Army of Shangdang. He suddenly turned a corner on the way north and did not go to Shangdang, but came to the prosperous Tokyo.

The letter details the rewards and gifts that Zhai Shouxian met in Tokyo, and then received, as well as the orders he accepted.

"Let me maintain my power and be strong, but I can't send it lightly?" Li Chongjin was furious in an instant, but he had not lost his mind yet. After all, he was his close associate staff member and could not be punished for a letter from someone else. He still needed some verification.

"That's right!" Chen Yang sighed and said, looking at the military governor who is good at military affairs, has a very ambitious and talented person, and has short-sighted eyes:

"Now that Zhao Kuangyin has just ascended the throne, the imperial guards have not yet been fully controlled, and there are still chaos inside and outside Tokyo. I don't know how many dissidents are, so Grandmaster Li of Shangdang has only prepared his troops and may not be able to take action in a short while!"

Li Yun from Shangdang had a sharp vision, and he could see through the reality of Tokyo at a glance. He was preparing to rebel when the Song Dynasty was at its weakest, and his political vision was vicious.

"If Taiwei Li fought alone, he would be very likely to be annihilated by Zhao Kuangyin, but the envoy did not move. This would greatly shock the military towns around the world and establish the true prestige of the imperial court. At that time, the envoy would not only face the central imperial guards, but also the elite troops of the military towns in various places..."

Although he had not finished speaking, Li Chongjin could have thought about the situation where his whole family would be executed later, and his face turned pale in an instant.

"Master, Mr. Zhai is back!" At this time, there was a servant reporting, and Chen Yang beside him pursed his lips and chuckled. He had already calculated that the time was ready, but now he saw it was just right.

"Let him come here!" Li Chongjin said in a deep voice with anger.

"I've seen the envoy!" Zhai Shouhe looked at the merchant curiously, but he still bowed in a regular manner.

"Sir, more than a month ago, I wonder what happened to the Grand Marshal?" Li Chongjin asked with a forced smile.

"The Grand Marshal Li also agreed, but the time is not yet determined. After all, it is too hasty. After all, the Central Plains Imperial Army has a wide range of soldiers and generals!"
