Back to the Song Dynasty: The Rise of an Empire

If the Tang Empire won, it would say to its opponents: "You damn well behave yourself in the future, or be careful that I wipe out your entire clan. Pay tribute obediently every year!"

Chapter 151 Jiangning Prefecture Transport Commissioner

Although scholars are much more refined in their dealings than these military bandits, they are all incredibly cunning.

For example, how did the Qian family take over? It was all thanks to Shen Tu Xin's strong support behind the scenes. Otherwise, Qian Jin, who had the desire but not the courage, would have coveted the position of family head but dared not make a move.

Shen Tu Xin not only brought all the imperial guards of Jiangnan East Road to his side, but even the prefect of Hangzhou now follows his lead, and even Prince Kang in Hangzhou has been sidelined.

"What else can we do? Tyranny is of course opposed by everyone. The dog emperor has slaughtered too many loyal and good people. Now our Prince Kang can no longer stand it. We, the loyal and righteous people, will gather together, support Prince Kang as the emperor, and march north to punish the tyranny."

Li Xiuxuan blinked and said, "But Prince Kang refused!"

"You have no choice but to comply. Send someone to bring Prince Kang to Jiangning, gather some laborers to renovate the old palace of the Southern Tang, let Prince Kang move in, and find some time, no, an auspicious day, to hold a coronation ceremony for Prince Kang."

"I've heard that Han Shizhong has led a large army south. How should we respond?"

Li Xiuxuan felt a little scared when Han Shizhong was mentioned. The Huaiyang army had been crushed and routed by Han Shizhong, and the screams of those dogs still echoed in the air along the Jingdong Road. Li Xiuxuan could hear them even in his dreams.

Do you think he's afraid or not?

Shen Tu Xin looked at Li Xiuxuan with the eyes of someone looking at an idiot. He really thought that all the military generals were brain-dead. What they ate was meat, but how did it turn into shit in their brains?

Damn it! You, Li Xiuxuan, have 100,000 troops and the Yangtze River is a natural barrier, what are you afraid of? Han Shizhong is a northerner, a landlubber leading a large group of landlubbers.

Have you ever read "Romance of the Three Kingdoms"? Wasn't Cao Cao awesome? He beat Yuan Shao so badly he was rolling on the ground begging for mercy!

Even if you go to the Yangtze River, you still have to kneel down!
