The two ordered a large table of dishes, and without waiting for the dishes to come up, they directly lifted the wine jar and took a sip first. It is impossible to directly dry a jar, and although the two of them have a lot of food and drink, they also don't want to drink a belly of wine.

After taking a big sip happily, Tianya put down the wine jar and looked at Zhao Kuangyin with a depressed face. It's been so many years, Zhao Kuangyin is still so young, it is estimated that he will be like him in a few years.

But this is also a matter of no choice, who let everyone eat the blood of the unicorn? It is estimated that it will be many years before Zhao Kuangyin begins to age.

"Uncle Zhao, you have been covering the sky with one hand in the court recently, except for my brother, no one dares to provoke you, right? Tianya Yin and Yang said angrily: "When are you going to rebel and become the emperor?"

"Don't talk nonsense, am I like that?"

"It's not like ...... You simply are. Tianya said: "Anyway, I have nothing to object, I just hope you don't provoke me." I don't care if you become the emperor, don't hurt my family, otherwise even if you become the emperor, you won't have a good life. ”

Zhao Kuangyin said: "You are the heir of the Great Zhou, you can say anything." Anyway, I'm too lazy to talk to you, so let's not talk about it, okay? By the way, what have you been up to lately? After hearing about you in Luoyang last time, His Majesty also sent my younger brother Zhao Kuangyi to Luoyang to look for you, but he didn't find anything, you can say that there is no news at all. ”

Tianya said: "No wonder, I was not in the territory of Da Zhou, so I went to Nantang to play for a while." ”

"What are you playing?"

"In fact, there is nothing serious about it, just teach the two brothers Li Hongmao and Li Hongji well, and let them seize the government/power of Jiangxi with their own strength, but these two boys really did it. Although the means are a bit shady, Yang Ying, the king of Zhennan, was captured alive and returned to Jinling to be beheaded to show the public, and the party members completely surrendered, and they did a good job. ”

Zhao Kuangyin took a deep breath and said, "Grandson, what do you want to do? These two straw bales were actually taught by you? Did they really kill Yang Ying?"

"Don't be so ugly when you speak, anyway, I have something unspeakable, and you can't control this. The two brothers, Li Hongji and Li Hongmao, are actually very talented, but they didn't teach them well when they were young, and they can't cause any big trouble if they start learning now. ”

If Yang Ying is killed, Jiangxi will completely fall under Li Jing's control, and it will have a great impact on our capture of Shouzhou. Zhao Kuangyin said: "Tianya, why are you doing this?"

"I'm happy, I'm happy, what do you do with me?"

Zhao Kuangyin took a deep breath and said, "If I hadn't promised Zongxin not to hurt you, I really wanted to strangle you to death with my hands now." ”

Tianya said: "It doesn't matter, anyway, I've never been afraid of death, not to mention that you don't dare to kill me now, you're afraid that my master is still alive." Actually, I'm afraid if I let him know that I've done these things...... What if he scraps me?"

Tianya said so, but Zhao Kuangyin knew very well that he wouldn't care even if Zong Xin was there, because this is how he taught Tianya, how happy he was, and he didn't have to mind the eyes of others. As long as Tianya doesn't do trivial things like stealing chickens and dogs, Zong Xin will never be angry.

"Speaking of which...... Zongxin: Is he dead or alive? Give me a quasi-letter. ”

Tianya smiled: "It's useless to say anything now, you won't believe me anyway." By the way, I'm going to marry my daughter-in-law, do you want to come and have a glass of wine?"

"Who are you marrying?"

"Do you remember the mother and son I saved back then?"

Zhao Kuangyin nodded and said, "Oh~ It's Xiang'er." I knew you weren't so kind, you thought about this when you saved people, right, it's as bad as your master. ”

"Don't speak ill of my master, believe it or not, I'll turn my face against you?"

"Don't come to this set, you know better than me how bad he is. Besides, it's not a bad word for him, and I'm sure it's definitely a compliment. Don't you know the character of these of us? I dare to say this in front of Zong Xin, and he won't be angry. ”

Tianya nodded, there was no problem with what Zhao Kuangyin said. Zongxin is such a shameless person, he knows very well in his heart, the habit of thanking him immediately after being scolded is what Zongxin taught him. And Zong Xin absolutely doesn't care how others scold, because in his eyes, ordinary people are not at the same level as him at all, and their scolding is just a barking dog, and he can't listen to it at all.

Of course, people of the same level will not be angry when they scold Zong Xin, and they have to admire Zong Xin's psychological quality. As long as you don't do anything to Zong Xin, you can scold as much as you want, but it also depends on Zong Xin's mood, even if he says good things when he is in a bad mood, it's useless.

"By the way, when are you going to attack Shouzhou again?"

"We still have to wait for the river to recede and the water level to drop before we dare to send troops. The Southern Tang Dynasty naval army was strong, so how easy was it for us to attack Shouzhou? The city wall of Shouzhou was extremely strong and towering, and the defense was reasonably constructed, and the city wall was like an iron arm, and no matter how much we hit it, we could not move a single bit. It is really difficult to capture Shouzhou, the last time it has used hundreds of thousands of strong men to attack the city, although these people are very amateur in combat, but after all, there are many people, and the result is that they can't get on the battlements of the city wall at all, they are all knocked down, and the city gate is not broken at all. ”

Tianya said: "Actually, I also went to Shouzhou to see, Shouzhou's defense is too strong, it is definitely not possible to take it by force, unless everyone is dead, and my imperial brother is only to capture Shouzhou, he doesn't care about the life or death of the soldiers, maybe he can capture Shouzhou after sacrificing most of them, but if he does that, Nantang will immediately counterattack, their army has been watching the battle not far from Shouzhou, although they can't directly confront, but they will never give up Shouzhou, an important military base." ”

Zhao Kuangyin didn't know that although it was difficult to attack Shouzhou, it was not impossible. But if it really attacked, the casualties would be heavy, and after the war, our army might not have the strength to resist the regular army of the Southern Tang Dynasty.

So the only way to capture Shouzhou is to slowly encroach, but there is a problem...... The other party is not a fool, as long as the spring water rises in the big week, he will definitely withdraw from the army, and everything will be in vain at that time. Let Nantang rest for half a year, and when he goes to attack again, Shouzhou's defense will only be stronger, not weaker.

"Tianya, do you have any good ideas? Help your eldest brother and Uncle Zhao a little, we really can't do Shouzhou. It is almost impossible to attack Shouzhou in these few months, and the troops must be withdrawn before the tide rises, and if the fight continues, I am afraid that the existing advantages of Da Zhou will be scattered. ”

Zhao Kuangyin also knows very well where the advantages of Da Zhou are now, but if he can't attack for a long time, his morale will be frustrated, and he will not be able to win at that time. Although it will not turn the advantage into a disadvantage, but if the confrontation continues for a long time, Nantang will have no fear, and Da Zhou will be too passive.

Zhao Kuangyin knows how much ability he has, and this kind of task that requires brains can be handed over to others. Because it is this kind of method that can only be come up with by people who have a very good view of the overall situation, in the whole world, except for the two masters and apprentices of Zongxin, Zhao Kuangyin really doesn't know who can put forward really valuable opinions.

Fan Zhen is indeed very smart, but what he has is only a little smart, and this kind of overall view is still far inferior to Zongxin's two masters and apprentices, and he has never made a really constructive proposal at all.

I happened to see the end of the world today, and it was still necessary to ask him for advice. What if Tianya came up with a very good solution? Maybe he could directly defeat Nantang, but it was not necessarily.

Tianya said: "Uncle Zhao, Master once taught me that if a person's hand is strong, he will fight his hand, and if a person's foot is strong, he will hit his foot." Just like Huangfu Jixun, he has a pair of iron claws that are very powerful, but if the iron claws are injured and cannot be used, his combat power can be negligible. The same is true for conquering cities and conquering cities, wherever the Southern Tang is powerful, just stare at which side to fight. ”

"What do you mean...... Or take Shouzhou by force?"

Although Zhao Kuangyin heard Tianya's words, he didn't understand them. Wherever it is powerful, it will be hit, Shouzhou has a strong defense, is it just staring at Shouzhou to fight? Isn't that the same as not saying?

Tianya shook his head and said: "Shouzhou only defends and does not attack, just like two martial arts masters fighting, one side only defends and does not attack, do you need to have a headache for him? The main reason for the retreat of the Great Zhou is that the Southern Tang Navy is strong, and if you can find a way to kill the Southern Tang Navy, it is not difficult to besiege Shouzhou until you run out of ammunition and food. ”

When Zhao Kuangyin heard this, he suddenly had an inspiration. He felt that he knew how to attack Shouzhou, although everyone in the world thought that Shouzhou was the key point to capture the Southern Tang Dynasty, and Zhao Kuangyin did not doubt this. But if you want to break through Shouzhou, you must take another place, that is, the Southern Tang Water Army.

Shouzhou is hard to take, but it's okay to take your time. The problem is that we can't take our time, because as long as the tide rises, the Southern Tang Navy will occupy the Huai River Valley, and when the time comes, our army will cut off the retreat of our army, and our army can only be trapped between the Navy and Shouzhou, the situation is completely opposite, and in the end it is a dead end.

But...... If there was no naval army in the Southern Tang Dynasty, it would be easy to capture Shouzhou.

After figuring out this problem, Zhao Kuangyin had already determined that if he wanted to capture Shouzhou, he must first attack the Southern Tang Army. However, the problem is that the Southern Tang Dynasty Navy is strong, so how can it be attacked? The Southern Tang Navy had about 200,000 troops, but the average number of troops dispatched was about 100,000, and no matter how much the Huai River could not fit.

If you can do something on the Huai River, trap the Southern Tang Navy in the Huai River, and then set fire to burn all the warships, then it is possible to succeed.

At this time, Zhao Kuangyin remembered the battle of Chibi, didn't Zhuge Liang use this trick to borrow the east wind to burn the battle......? The other party should not be so easy to fall for the trick. What's more, it was also a question of whether there would be wind at that time, the Huai River was so big, even if it burned, it might not be able to burn all the warships.

It's okay to think about some things and look at them, but it's very difficult or even impossible to actually do them.

Zhao Kuangyin was also thinking, in fact, they had the advantage of the upper reaches of the Huai River and the Wei River, so they could fight the water army first. But the question is how to fight. Since Tianya can hit the key point in one sentence, it is not impossible to ask again.
