"Xiaojiu, what did you think of?" Pan Mei saw Song Jiu's face change drastically and asked. He still trusted Song Jiu very much. Although the military was not Song Jiu's strength, he was clever and weird in other aspects.

Am I suspicious? Song Jiu thought to himself. Is there any suspicious or whether Li Chunfeng's words easy to prove. He took out Chen Tuan's true words and knew it, but Song Jiu dared? Therefore, he answered casually: "Although herbivores are gentle, they cannot avoid being killed by wolves. No matter how big it is, although they are a little cruel and do not want to be a carnivorous animal, they must at least be an omnivorous animal, such as a bear, which is equally gentle, but will tigers and wolves dare to invade?"

"Not necessarily..." Song Jiu replied casually, Pan Mei was too worried. Strictly speaking, it cannot be said that Zhao Kuangyin completely valued literature and derogated from military affairs. For example, the priest was a good minister, Chen Yilun and Chu Zhaofu were also military officials. So far, only one real Song Dynasty civil servant entered the two palaces, that is Lu Duoxun!

In the past, Zhao Kuangyin and Zhao Pu joined forces to clean up Chai Rong's old troops in order to consolidate the rule of the Song Dynasty. Only then did Wang Quanbin, Cui Yanjin, Cao Bin, Pan Mei, and Ding Deyu really urge him. Ding Deyu did not do well in Xichuan, and the rest were Pan Mei and Cao Bin. But Pan Mei's expression was a little unnatural. He was not an important official and general in Chai Rong's hands, but Chai Rong's personal guard was very grateful to Chai Rong. Cao Bin is the nephew of Guo Wei and Zhang Guifei, and he is also related to Chai Rong.

Why is it more important? When Pingnan Han and Khitan were in a feud, they could not separate their troops to go south to Lingnan. They were not familiar with the southern climate and had no other choice but to choose from it. Pingnan Tang was even more difficult.

Even if the son-in-law's statement is wrong, if he and Cao Bin don't get it well, they will cook like Shi Shouxin.

If the son-in-law is right, it will be even more terrible. Since then, the general has said nothing. This is probably impossible, and the fact is possible! If these two reasons are the same, it can be understood that Song Jiu is a civil servant, but he has also made military achievements in the south, and he is his son-in-law...

There are two reasons, so the emperor hesitated and refused to apply.

Anyway, she was idle at home, Song Jiu was still willing to contribute to the Song Dynasty.

This will make sense.

He was wrong, and Song Jiu didn't understand it. The truth was not that Zhao Kuangyin didn't need it, but that another person blocked it in the middle.

However, Pan Mei’s guess is not accurate. If Zhao Kuangyin did not die, how would Cao Pan be used if he destroyed the Northern Han Dynasty? However, one proved Zhao Kuangyin’s sense of smell, that is, it was determined that Pan Mei’s military talent was above Cao Bin after spending so long to pacify Jiangnan, so Pan Mei was asked to attack Taiyuan. After Zhao Kuangyi took office, the situation was completely different. The Chai family had no influence anymore. He had a relative with the Chai family, so he turned Pan Cao upside down in sequence.

But it is unlikely that these two generals will be able to be loyal to Zhao Kuangyin.

The reason is very simple. He was able to seize Chai Zongxun's throne, but he could not die inexplicably. The death of this young man had a profound impact, but historical books deliberately downplayed and erased the influence of this matter step by step, so later generations did not pay attention, and Song Jiu did not pay attention.

Song Jiu was thinking too.

But the various relationships and the thoughts of these fierce men were extremely complicated, which made him unable to understand no matter how much he thought about it. So he changed the topic: "Father-in-law, no matter what, the father-in-law can make achievements again in this trip."

But Pan Mei was not very interested this time.

...

In October, Li Yu was worried and sent Li Congyi and Gong Shenxiu to bring heavy coins to the tribute and buy a banquet. Zhao Kuangyin was too lazy to receive him, so he directly detained the two of them and was a companion with Li Congshan and Zhaofu, while Li Yu didn't even know whether he was alive or dead.

Zhao Kuangyin gave a banquet to Cao Bin, Pan Mei and others in the Martial Arts Hall.

After drinking for three rounds, Zhao Kuangyin took out an envelope from his arms and said to Cao Bin: "For the affairs of the south, please do not slander the people. Be sure to be prestige and surrender yourself, and do not need to be attacked quickly. The punishment is in fact. Those below Pan Mei are guilty, but if you open this, you will be killed directly without reporting."

In other words, except Pan Mei, other soldiers, even the military supervisors or the military transferees, such as Li Hanqiong and Tian Qinzuo, can be killed. This means that Cao Bin has the right to be granted to the order of the outside king.

This incident was widely circulated, and even reached the end, saying that Zhao Kuangyin gave Cao Bin a sword of the emperor. Where did the emperor's sword come from, and Bao Zheng's dragon and tiger slaughter. This is not an opera. Cao Bin took away most of the Song Dynasty's army. Can Zhao Kuangyin rest assured?

So what is the one in the bottom of this real seal?

There is nothing!

The reason why Zhao Kuangyin did this was because the generals of the Northern Song Dynasty were too violent and were afraid that Cao Bin could not suppress it. But Cao Bin really dared to open it and use it to kill Tian Qinzuo and Li Hanqiong and other generals, which proved that Cao Bin was too ignorant. Once he opened it, he would be blank letters and he would not be able to kill them even if he wanted to!

Or later generations continue to praise this, but after the war, what would Cao Bin think after knowing the truth? He must be happy first. Fortunately, I didn’t open it and didn’t use it, and then I thought, it turns out that this is how the emperor trusts me!

The two generals who commanded the soldiers were in this mood. The other generals who commanded the soldiers gradually became less prestige. Zhao Kuangyin took the initiative to clear the last obstacle for Zhao Er...

But neither Cao Pan knew about it at that time.

I was very moved and frightened at that time. With such rights and so many soldiers and horses, the emperor actually trusted me so much. How could I not be nervous? I leaned in front of the dragon couch, took it tremblingly, and slowly retreated.

Song Jiu went to see him off, and Pan Mei also said, "Song Jiu, you are wrong."

Song Jiu was also confused. Could it be that Zhao Kuangyi did it? He thought half of it, including Zhao Kuangyi's contribution, and another person's contribution, the one from Luoyang!

Pan Mei asked again: "Is your concubine back?"

"Just just got the news, Yuping arrived at her father's house safely, but the father and daughter had not met for a long time, and they cried when they met. Her father wanted to stay for a while. It was cold in the north and the door was covered with ice and snow in winter. I wanted to come back, and it might be until next spring when flowers bloom."

"It's better to write a letter and let him join our court. No matter what, it's better than being a little Guoyi in the Khitan."

"I'm afraid that his wife is from the Ma family. Once she joins our court, her wife will not agree. If she reports, Yuping and his daughter will be in danger. If she doesn't report, her wife's wife's family is the Wangmen of Youzhou. In order not to implicate her mother's family, she will also stop her. Just like Han Xizai, his wife, children, and children are in the Southern Tang Dynasty and can only return to the Southern Tang Dynasty."

"What will happen to his father when I recover Youyun from now on?"

"Only God knows this," Song Jiu said helplessly. There is another thing he did not say. The Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun are not that easy to recover. In the future, the Khitan will have a general, and its military talent is still above you! He also said: "By the way, father-in-law, Han Xizai has two sons. After his death, his family was poor. If you find it this time, please treat it well and bring them back to the capital, so that I can meet you."

"This is subject to General Cao's permission. Please ask General Cao. If he disagrees, you can join forces with Weide and the others to deal with his boys."

Cao Bin could only smile bitterly when he rode his horse. There was no way, his sons were many, but he was not as old as Pan Mei's son. He had to take his eldest son to Jiangnan for training. The remaining children with egg age could not beat Pan Mei's son. Finally, he let out a long sigh: "All of them are old men."

The generals led their troops southward, and Cao Bin was the Battle of the Horse and Army in the southwest, that is, the Marshal, Pan Mei was the Chief Supervisor, Cao Han was the vanguard, commanding 100,000 troops and a thousand warships. He joined forces with Wu and Yue to attack the Southern Tang Dynasty. But these people were not together, but divided into five groups.

Cao Bin, Tian Qinzuo, and Li Hanqiong led the Jinghu army from Jiangling, which was the main force, captured the fortress along the river in the Southern Tang Dynasty such as Chizhou, and pointed his sword at Jinling.

Pan Mei and Liu Yu, Liang Jiong led the horse army to Hezhou, gathered on the riverside, and then ignored everything, and a miracle would happen where...

The navy trained in Jinmingchi, the capital city, went down the Bian River, entered Yangzhou from the Grand Canal and then went down the Yangtze River, and joined the Wu Yue army in Runzhou, threatening the east side of the Southern Tang Dynasty. This was the third army.

Qian Chu, the Grand Marshal of the World, was appointed as the commander of the Punishment and Control in the southeast of Shengzhou. He led the Wu and Yue army to attack Changzhou, and then joined the capital navy of the Song Dynasty who went south in Runzhou and arrived in Jinling. However, for "care and guidance", Ding Deyu was sent to Hangzhou as a vanguard and military supervisor.

Wang Ming was appointed as the governor of Huangzhou, Chizhou and Yuezhou Jianglu, and the patrol was deployed to contain the Southern Tang garrison in the direction of Hukou in Wuchang, blocked the southeast and went to aid, and ensured the main force of the Song army to advance eastward.

Since Li Yu was about to break the dead, then prepare, but at this point, Nan Tang didn't know anything about it. Cao Bin led countless warships down the river, and the garrisons at Hukou in Nan Tang thought that the Song army was a routine patrol of the river. But is this a patrol of the river? Countless ships were close and far away, and there were no ends of it. In addition to the fleet, there were endless huge wooden rafts behind, civilian ships filled with ropes, and countless strange ships that were not known for what they were used for. But in the face of this strange scene, the Tang army in Hukou, with 100,000 troops, closed the gates to avoid trouble, and did not report to the garrisons in various downstream, and even a strange scene occurred in Chizhou.

When Cao Bin's vanguard arrived in Chizhou, because the Hukou garrison did not report it, the Chizhou garrison Ge Yan took the initiative to open the city gate and took out the wine and meat to welcome the Song army. It was not because he wanted to rebel and surrender, but in the past practice that the Song army's fleet of patrols of the river sometimes leaned to the south bank, and would leave after eating, drinking and extorting. When he found that something was wrong, he could only escape, so the Chongzhai of Chizhou was easily obtained by Cao Bin.

After hearing this information, Song Jiu was ridiculous and screamed. He shook his head and sighed: "Liang'er, don't talk about your father and General Cao, I'm afraid that even if I serve as the head coach, I can take down Nan Tang."

Cao Bin continued to lead his army to Tongling.

But the tail behind him disappeared. Before breaking through Chizhou, he dragged it into the mouth of the Anhui Stone Monument (between Anqing and Huaining). At the same time, the Bazuo Envoy Pashoujun, Ruzhou Defensive Envoy Lu Wanyou, and a large group of craftsmen.

Where, it will be a miracle to begin.

All this has nothing to do with Song Jiu, and no one can see the relevant ones. This industry is because of the increase in iron production, the quality of steel is improved, and the weapons are sharper, but it is difficult to detect, so the rest is irrelevant. No matter what, Song Jiu is still happy with it. The Battle of the Southern Tang Dynasty means that the Song Dynasty gradually completed the unification and he can also enjoy peace.

Song Jiu stayed at home, still the same as before, either hugging his child and telling stories, enjoying family happiness in advance, or studying. The reflector and textile machinery still have no progress, but another thing has taken shape, that is, the wall clock.

It is impossible to make a watch. As before, it is difficult to succeed in large things, and it is equally difficult to succeed in micro things. So far, the difficulty of reducing steel bearings and mass production has not been overcome.

The wall clock is not big or small, but many devices are also hand-made and costly, and the one that comes out is a sample.

It is still early to mass production, and countless money has been piled up, but with samples, there is a direction for improvement. You are not afraid of high costs. If this thing comes out, no matter how high the cost is, it can be sold at a price.

It was timed, so it was the first to be dedicated to Zhao Kuangyin.

This thing is very strange and attracted the attention of many ministers. Song Jiu thought that the Southern Tang was easy to take over, but others did not think so. The miserable battle in Shouchun that year still made the Song Dynasty's monarchs and ministers remember it all. Although Li Yu was incompetent, he was not cruel. As long as two Shouchun cities came out, the Khitan and the Northern Han were waiting for an opportunity to move, the Southern Tang would not be easy to conquer them, and even provided an example for Wu Yue, and the consequences were worrying. So before the troops were issued, Zhao Kuangyi wrote a letter saying that the Kaifeng bans cleared the prisons, and no one left the prisoners, which was to seek a good omen. This was also a good omen. Zhao Kuangyin rewarded one thousand gold and five thousand pieces of silk. The eunuch sent gold and silk to the Song family, and Song Jiu was dumbfounded. Why do I want money?

Shortly after the eunuch left, a servant came to the Song family with a famous assassin. Lu Duosun invited Song Jiu to Yu Shundian to talk to him. The two had little friendship. Lu Duosun's status was impossible to visit Song Jiu's family. It was called a loss of etiquette and would be impeached by ministers. But there was no way that even Zhao Pu was afraid of Song Jiu to visit his house, and it was not convenient to date. Therefore, he thought of a way to stay and talk to Yu Shundian.
