Three days after that, 500 elite teams of 500 people from all over the Southern Tang Dynasty who participated in the army competition arrived one after another. Without exception, all the highest commanders of each army who came with the team to observe were invited to the palace by the King of Qi to have a banquet. The governors of Jiangyin Army, Ningguo Army, Anhua Army, Yumeng Army and other places were invited by the King of Qi to return immediately.

At noon on February 28, King Li Jingsui of Qi, Minister of War Chen Jun, General Yunhui Lin Feng and others came to the imperial guard training ground and secretly held a "mobilization meeting" before the expedition.

The horse's hooves flew, and the King of Qi in a bright silver military uniform rode to the high platform of the training ground, rolled over and got off the horse, climbed up the steps with a majestic spirit, and stood on the edge of the high platform.

The intense drums and thick horns sounded at the same time. The warm spring breeze swept the black dragon battle flag around the platform, making a strong sound, making the tall King of Qi become more powerful.

The sound of drums and horns stopped. King Li Jing of Qi looked around and the elites from the 13th Army of the Southern Tang Dynasty and the 7,000 troops from the land of Chu, Zhensheng said:

"Dear elites in the Tang army, on behalf of the current emperor, I would like to express my condolences and thank you to you. You have come from afar, traveling through mountains and rivers, and have worked hard all the way.

Since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, people have been talking to me: You have no strength and military strength of the former Tang Dynasty at all, and you have not even fought the Huaihe River. You have only the reputation of the Tang Dynasty. However, it is the heroic, good at fighting and wise Tang elites who have broken this judgment with practical actions. You have conquered Chu land no less than the area of ​​the Tang Dynasty, you have conquered the Khitan Palace Army, and you have given Zhou a bloody lesson in Jinzhou City. I believe that a more brilliant record is waiting for you to fight and strive for, and the glorious future of the Tang Dynasty is in your hands."

The simple and powerful oath-taking poem was designed by Lin Fengcao for the King of Qi, which made the seven thousand elites straighten their bodies and their eyes shine.

In the past few days, Lin Feng has already been well-known in private by these elite soldiers in the Chu, Liao and Northern Han, which naturally aroused envy and competitive spirit. It has always been the second best martial arts. Lin Feng and the others can do it, but there is no reason why they can't do it themselves.

Li Jingsui pointed to the southwest and announced loudly: "This competition in the army competition has changed. It is divided into two parts of the competition content. The scores of the two results are combined. The top three are awarded the world's No. 1 Xuanjia Camp, Huben Camp, and Shenwei Camp. I will act with everyone throughout the whole process. The content of the first part of the competition is full of armed marches, set out before the time, and the destination is Jianzhou. The general commander of the operation is: Lin Feng, General Yunhui of the Tang Dynasty."

The sudden change in the content of the game made these elites feel a little disturbed and quickly returned to peace. The hard training over the past few months naturally made these elite soldiers in the army feel full of confidence.

Lin Feng, who was on stage, did not talk nonsense, said the detailed requirements of the first stage of the competition one by one, and then ordered the entire army to cook meals and set off on time at Yinshi. During the meal, Lin Feng pulled several special forces soldiers to follow him out of the camp, then pulled back two large wooden boxes of carriages and sent them directly into the command post.

At the time of Yin, when the elites of the Southern Tang Dynasty on the imperial guards were exhausted, all the important officials of the Southern Tang Dynasty were invited into the palace until it was dark, and these people left the palace with a heavy face.

Early in the morning of March 1st, Li Jing, who was wearing bright yellow military uniforms, scared all the court officials. Immediately, the first sentence read by Si Li made everyone completely stunned:

"Wu Yue Qian Liu was a rogue when he was young and started his business. Later, he managed to steal the land of Wu Yue and repeatedly violated the majesty of our dynasty. From Yang and Wu, he took over the rebel general Tian Fu. When he arrived in the battle of Fujian, he injured more than 10,000 soldiers, captured my general Yang and Cai Yu, and stole my Fuzhou, and privately contacted Qingyuan, and violated our Tang Dynasty in yin and yang, and was so evil that it was difficult to write about..."

The ministers with a shocked face didn't even dare to breathe. The whole court was so quiet that a needle could be heard even if it fell to the ground.

Tian Feng defected from Yang Wu and Wu to Wu, but it was the case when Yang Xingmi was in power. In the battle against Fujian, it was originally the case that King Yanyi of Fujian and Wang Yanzheng of the brothers fought against each other. Southern Tang took the opportunity to take advantage of it. As a result, under the attack of Wu Yue, the two countries attacked each other, and the victory and loss were discussed. Now, what was the situation suddenly mentioned?

"The sins of Wu and Yue are jealous of Gods and are not tolerated by heaven and earth. Now our Tang Dynasty and Chu are united, and we vow to fight against Wu and Yue together, and we will never return..."

Hearing this, the ministers in the court opened their mouths wide. This, this was actually a manifesto to attack Wu and Yue. A war that concerns the life and death of the country was announced by the current emperor without any warning.

The voice of the Sili Officer had already stopped, but the whole court was still silent. Many important officials were talked alone in advance, and they all looked at their noses and their hearts silently. Other officials lowered their heads and swept their eyes around, trying their best to see what other ministers reacted.

Li Jing swept the court and still no one answered. He said directly: "This battle is of great importance. I personally inquire about the logistics and supplies. The King of Qi was on the front line to command all the troops. During the war, anyone missed the military plane and added a higher level.

The Jiangyin Army, Ningguo Army, and Anhua Army commanded all the soldiers to send troops immediately, and the three groups of soldiers forced Wu and Yue;

The chief general of Shiji, Ma Cungui, was promoted to the commander of the Zhanzhao Metropolitan Commander, and led 300 Chu and Tang warships, descending from the river, sweeping the coast of Wu and Yue from north to south;

He immediately sent someone to send a letter to Wu and Yue; Xiao Yan, the minister and minister of the Dali Temple, rushed to the Qingyuan army and ordered the troops from Quanzhou and Zhangzhou to be safe and not leave the country at all."

Below, there is nothing below.

The court officials followed and did not hear Li Jing's words. They all raised their heads in surprise and looked at the Dragon Boat. People with a little military knowledge frowned. The plan for the war was so simple, and they could be said to be full of flaws.

The attack is a surprise. You should tell others in advance, what kind of gentlemanly style is used to attack on the land? Who is the main attack? The two closest armies of the three armies are more than 200 miles apart. How to echo? The combined attack of water and land, and the Wuyue Kingdom is separated by a Wuyue Kingdom. How can the two cooperate? Besides, if you are obedient, it is not the Qingyuan Army of the independent kingdom. What should you do if someone secretly sends troops to help Wuyue?

After waiting for a while, the excited Li Jing began to arrange specific responsible personnel for food, grass and supplies, and specially arranged for the Ministry of War to focus on the maintenance of the ordnance of the huge warships.

When Li Jing finished his speech, a Censor named Qian fell to the ground and shouted: "Since the founding of the former emperor, he has established his country with kindness and confidence, and has cultivated his neighbors, and the inner world will be at peace. Now our Tang Dynasty has newly acquired the Chu State. It is a good time to rest and accumulate strength. Warriors have been a major issue of the survival of the country since ancient times. Please consider it carefully and not to start a war."

Finally someone stood up, and all the ministers sighed lightly and looked at Li Jing.

Li Jing laughed loudly and pointed at the censor and said, "Qian Aiqing, if I hadn't understood your character and understood your patriotism, I would have thought you were pleading for the Qian family of Wu Yue."

The emperor's cold joke made several ministers grin subconsciously, but then they pursed their lips and stared forward with all their hearts.

"Someone once told me that a prosperous country is like a car that climbs a hill with a load. The most dangerous moment is not when the first to go uphill or when the car is halfway, but the steps before the top." Li Jing stood up, stood up with a sword in front of the imperial case, and said loudly.

"My Tang Dynasty has accumulated national strength for more than ten years, just like a car when it first started to go uphill; when we start to change, it is like a car going to the middle of the way; now, we have newly collected Chu land, just like a car before it reaches the top of the slope, it is the easiest time to slack off, and it is also the most dangerous time. If you take a step back, you may be doomed."

Li Jing looked at the court officials who were all listening with their faces raised, and suddenly realized that what he was learning to borrow was Lin Feng's explanation using metaphors to argue. This effect was quite good. Such an idea flashed through Li Jing's mind.

"Many of you don't know yet. The Zhou Dynasty in the north once discussed the "Pingbian Ceremony" written by a scholar named Wang Pu. He believed that the Zhou Dynasty should adopt the strategy of first being easy and then being difficult to pacify the world. He said bluntly that he would first take me Huainan and Jiangbei first, and then safe in the south and then turn to the north. In other words, as long as the Zhou Dynasty calms the chaos in the country, he will inevitably go south to attack our Tang Dynasty. How much time will they give us, half a year, one year, or two years." Li Jing's tone gradually became harsh, and he said with his fingers on the north:

"The important town of Shouzhou is the gateway to the Huaihe River defense line of the Tang Dynasty. However, the soldiers are unbearable and the people are harmed. What obstacles can we use to resist the Zhou army of the Khitan?"

Speaking of this, Li Jing suddenly hated Liu Yanzhen, the former governor of Shouzhou who had let down his trust.

A few days ago, Liu Yanzhen knelt in front of the palace gate all day, and finally fainted on the ground, without a chance to meet Li Jing. He was directly thrown into the Dali Temple prison that night. Shangshu's right servant Sun Sheng received the order to interrogate many villagers who came to Anfengtang to file a lawsuit overnight. The facts were revealed one by one, and there was no flaw to find. Li Jing, who obtained the interrogation result, had already believed Lin Feng's accusations. Now, Sun Sheng has led a team to Shouzhou to further investigate the truth, but no matter how he thought about it, Lin Feng would not have fabricated the lie that the Shouzhou soldiers had low combat power for no reason.

Li Jing coughed lightly, slowed his tone down, and said in a deep voice: "What I left for the Tang Dynasty is the period before the Zhou army headed south. Whether the Tang Dynasty became a flying dragon or a difficult dragon depends on this period of time. If the great troubles of Wu and Yue are eliminated, the Tang Dynasty will be in danger in the future, and you and I will be in danger. I have decided on this war. If anyone has any irresponsible comments, they will be expelled from the court immediately and will never be used."

Li Jing's voice echoed in the hall, and no one answered again. The important officials in the court were called into the palace in advance for vaccination. They also understood the real purpose of the battle, and were banned again. No one would make any trouble for themselves. Other officials were frightened by the four words "never speak".

Since Lin Feng appeared in the Tang Dynasty magically and made the great achievements of Qi Tian calmly, many people have long recognized one of the most understood trends in the entire Southern Tang Dynasty: the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty, every official in the Tang Dynasty, seems not as important as he imagined, and no one is indispensable. At this time, it is still important to protect himself. Besides, once the battle against Wu is lucky, it will be a good thing; if you lose, it will have nothing to do with you.
