Seeing Li Chongjin's eyes gradually becoming firm, Chen Yang continued, "Yangzhou has the spirit of a royal family!"

Afterwards, Chen Yang explained the importance of Yangzhou. The supply of Tokyo Taiban was transported by Huainan. The salt shortage of the Southern Tang Dynasty was also supplied by Huainan. It was rich for thousands of miles and was the capital of the king.

He also gave an example that the prosperity of the Southern Tang Dynasty began in Huainan, without Huainan, and now the Southern Tang Dynasty.

"Besides, even if you can't beat Tokyo, you can defend yourself!"

The last sentence made Li Chongjin make up his mind and start waiting for the opportunity to prepare to restore Da Zhou.

In April of the first year of Jianlong in the Song Dynasty (960 AD), news of Li Yun colluding with the Northern Han Dynasty and launching a rebellion came to Tokyo.

"Li Yun is really unbelievable!" Zhao Kuangyin sighed, wearing a dragon robe, put down the memorial in his hand, and sighed.

"Your Majesty is wise!" Zhao Pu sat on the chair and said, "Li Yun was rebellious when he was in the previous dynasty. Now that the Holy Dynasty is newly established, he naturally dissatisfied!"

"The treasury is not rich now. If I have been with me for a few more days and have been in the summer harvest, I will not be afraid of him!"

Zhao Kuangyin was not anxious. How could the matter of Zhou be calm? Besides, if there was no war, how could he intimidate those vassal states with different minds?

"Li Yun has been in Shangdang area for many years, but he has always been arrogant and doesn't even take Emperor Shizong seriously. He often faces the Khitan and the Eastern Han Dynasty. He has a wide range of soldiers and generals and sufficient food and supplies, no less than that of an imperial guard!"

Zhao Pu thought about it and felt a little tricky. Li Yun was also the most powerful vassal state in the entire northern region. If he sent too few troops, he would not achieve the effect. If he had too many troops, he would be taken advantage of by others.

"There are not many people in the world who can beat the imperial guards. Li Yun is also considered one, but his ambition and talent are not considered an opponent. You can also take a look!"

Zhao Kuangyin waved his hand, feeling quite disdainful.

When Zhao Pu took over, he found that Li Yun had been acting constantly in recent months, connecting with the Eastern Han Dynasty and Khitan, but his own army's training was as slack as ever, and the pass was abandoned. In this way, he couldn't say that he could not go even if he was loose on the outside and tight on the inside!

"Li Yunjiao is disdainful. Congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty!" Although Zhao Pu was only good at conspiracy and had little understanding of military affairs, he still had common sense and quickly congratulated him.

"I don't care about Li Yun. The only thing I value is the Khitan. The cavalry travels like the wind, and even Emperor Shizong can't do anything. Yanyun's land is still in his hands!" Zhao Kuangyin's face turned darker, and he was obviously very afraid.

"Li Yun's rebellion must be decided quickly. If there is insufficient money and food, outside, the Khitan soldiers will be in a stalemate, and the world will be in ruins!"

"Your Majesty said so much!" Zhao Pu nodded. He would not doubt the emperor's military talent. He felt a move in his heart and immediately said:

"The Khitan threatens the Central Plains, which is nothing more than Yan Yun. The Central Plains where Yan Yun is located is nothing but a disease of tinea scabies."

"Didn't sir say that it is easier than the north, easier than the north? Since that's the case, how can Yan Yun be taken back?" Zhao Kuangyin's black face was full of doubts.

"First the south and then the north is the national policy, but the Khitans are barbarians, and they only care about the small profits in front of them. If they spend a lot of money, they will definitely be able to redeem Yan Yun!"

Zhao Pu said casually.

"If not, you can also recruit warriors to capture the money!"

"Where does the money come from?" Zhao Kuangyin asked.

"Your Majesty will sweep the states and unify the world, and go to their local vassal states. The treasury will be surplus, and the surplus that the court spends every year can also be surplus!"

"Oh? This plan is very wonderful!" Zhao Kuangyin took a few steps, his eyes shining, and said, "This kind of money must not be moved lightly. It is stored in another warehouse and is called a pile sealing warehouse!"

"What should I do if I use military force to go to the Party?"

"Li Yun is a person with a wide range of popularity and has many friends in the imperial guards. If you send troops to suppress him, you must choose a close friend!" Zhao Pu said again.

"There are no more confidants than my brothers!" Zhao Kuangyin lowered his head and thought, "Only they can make me feel relieved!"

The Yishe brothers were the key to Zhao Kuangyin's seizure of the throne and the main connection to control the imperial guards. These brothers who rebel together are trustworthy at present.

"Then send Shuixin as the head coach and Huaide as the deputy head coach, and lead the army to suppress it!" Zhao Kuangyin felt a little in his mind, and decided to send Shi Shouxin and Gao Huaide to lead the troops.

Shi Shouxin was the first general of the Imperial Army and the commander of the Palace Front Office. Among the "Ten Brothers of Yishe" headed by Zhao Kuangyin, he was the third one to establish a festival after Li Jixun and Zhao Kuangyin. He has always served as Zhao Kuangyin's deputy. He can be said to be the leader of the six major founding fathers (Yi Dai heroes). His ability is unquestionable.

Gao Huaide was the son of King Gao Xingzhou of Qi. He was brave enough to be the three armies. He was appointed as the deputy chief of the palace and was transferred to Huazhou. He served as the deputy chief of Guannan.

When Zhao Pu heard that it was these two people, he felt relieved and said, "Li Chongjin, Huainan, his intentions are different. If he marched into Shangdang, he would also echo. What should he do?"

"The Tokyo Imperial Guards are more than 200,000. If Huainan acts rashly, I will destroy them, and it is nothing more than money and food!"

Zhao Kuangyin sneered several times: "At that time, Li Chongjin will not blame me for disregarding the friendship of his former colleagues!"

The Central Plains beacons set off for a while, and the battle of establishing a country in the Song Dynasty, all the eyes of the world gathered in Shangdang, looking at whether this new imperial court could truly stand up.

Although the former local vassal regime of the Later Zhou Dynasty was not satisfied with Zhao Kuangyin replacing the Later Zhou Dynasty with a mutiny, they were afraid of the power of the Song Dynasty and felt that they were unable to compete with it, so they had to obey orders. At this time, they heard about the war and were all excited.

In response to this, in order to fear that the war would spread everywhere and the world would be corrupt, Zhao Kuangyin used his kindness and power to ensure that most of the north was stable.

For example, Yuan Yan, the former governor of the Baoyi Army of the Later Zhou Dynasty, learned that Zhao Kuangyin renovated military weapons and trained soldiers day and night, and wanted to fight against the Song court, and called Zhao thieves endlessly every day.

However, when the Song court sent Pan Mei to supervise the army and ordered him to enter the court, Yuan Yan had to bow his head and ride alone to the capital, and speak one by one. His Majesty, he was so kind.

Since there was a war in the Central Plains, Li Jia naturally refused to let him calm down. He helped Huainan with the arms and doubled the transportation, hoping that he could last longer.

Subsequently, a large number of merchant ships were dispatched to set off from the coast to attract poor fishermen in coastal areas and a large number of tenants and poor people on the condition of distributing fields and seeds.

Especially Huainan and Shandong, it is the top priority.

Huainan is rich. Although the exploitation of the feudal states is heavy, life is full of life. When war comes, military disasters come, so naturally it is necessary to escape, because these people are either rich or skilled, and are of high-quality immigrants.

There is no need to say that Shandong is very rare in the Five Dynasties, and there are many local big households, so the poor are naturally willing to improve their lives.
