The imperial court of the Southern Tang Dynasty was immersed in the festive atmosphere of annexing Fujian. This festive peace only lasted for half of the time. Two hidden dangers in Fujian emerged one after another - Fuzhou and the three "swing states".
The origin and specific process of the incident have been detailed in the previous topic on Fujian, but they are briefly mentioned here: In April 946 AD, Li Renda of Fuzhou used the excuse that Wang Jixun of Quanzhou did not respect him enough, and brazenly sent troops to conquer Quanzhou with the intention of annexing Quanzhou, which gave birth to the Quanzhou soldiers. The Quanzhou general Liu Congxiao deposed Wang Ji, took over Quanzhou, and went to Shunan to report the whole cause of the mutiny.
Li Jing followed suit and formally appointed Liu Congxiao as the assassin of Quanzhou, and sent troops to reinforce Quanzhou.
In the name of aiding Quanzhou, this Central Army of the Southern Tang Dynasty legitimately infiltrated into the local areas and improved the central government's vertical control over the local areas. Therefore, if the Fuzhou Li Renda issue can be solved comprehensively and properly, it will have positive significance for the Southern Tang Dynasty to rule the entire Fujian.
When the central reinforcements arrived, the Fuzhou soldiers were already attacked by Quanzhou Liu Congxiao, who therefore gained actual control over Quanzhou. In order to prevent further changes in the other two states, Li Jing transferred Wang Jicheng, the governor of Zhangzhou, to Hezhou as governor, and transferred Xu Wenzhen, the governor of Tingzhou, to Qizhou as governor. Wei Cen was sent to pacify Zhang and Quan states and patrol the "swing states" to appease them.
As for the most troublesome Li Ren from Fuzhou, Chen, who was in the prime of his life and ranked first among the "Five Ghosts and Four Evils", volunteered to relieve his master.
In fact, when Jianzhou was conquered and the three "swing states" voluntarily surrendered, the "warrior faction" headed by Zha Wenhui, Feng Yansi, Feng Yanlu, etc. planned to move forward with Jianzhou and take Fuzhou with them. Take the breath away.
Li Jing, who was dazzled by the victory, also very much agreed with this mighty and domineering proposal. At that time, the main force of the Central Army was resting in Jianzhou, so Li Jing appointed Feng Yanlu as the supervisor of Jianzhou, preparing to destroy the country and go down the river.
However, at this critical moment, one person stood up and shouted no. This person was Chen Jue, who ranked first among the "Five Ghosts and Four Evils". The reason why Chen Jue suddenly opposed the continued use of troops was simple. He was jealous of Cha Wen, who was at the end of the "Five Ghosts", and did not want him to exclusively enjoy the credit for conquering Fujian.
Chen Juemao then said that he could persuade Li Renda of Fuzhou to go to Hajj and regain his blessings without using a knife. Isn't it wonderful?
All civil and military officials unanimously opposed Chen Jue's proposal. Seeing that the only thing left to regain Fuzhou was the call for an expedition, why bother with it? Li Jing also expressed doubts about Chen Jue's ability.
At this critical moment, an important figure made an important speech, which changed the development of things. This person was the old man in the political world-Song Qiqiu.
Song Qiqiu was very grateful to Chen Jue for welcoming him back from Jiuhua Mountain, so he decided to repay his kindness.
Song Qiqiu made favorable arguments for Li Jing. Firstly, the war had ended so far that the national treasury had been depleted and it was not suitable for another war. Secondly, he used his personal reputation as a burden, saying that Chen Jue was talented and could fight without blood. Lure Li Renda to Shengzhou.
As a result, Li Jing urgently stopped the Central Army that was preparing to move south, and sent the privy envoy Chen Jue to express condolences to Fuzhou, carrying heavy gifts and going to lobby.

The "Five Ghosts" fought to destroy Fujian, and from then on, internal strife broke out.
Chen Jue arrived at Fu with confidence and paid tribute to an allusion - Jiang Qian went to Soochow.
Fuzhou Li Renda had known about his arrival for a long time and deliberately treated him with a cold shoulder. He also invited him to watch a military parade that was heavily intimidating. After a few operations, Chen Jue was so frightened that his legs went cold, and tears of disappointment flowed from his waist and crotch. First\./issued\./updated\./new`..mobile version
From entering the palace to leaving in despair, Chen Jue did not even dare to mention the word "go to the Hajj".
What a shame. Moreover, the ranking of the "Five Ghosts" will also be updated, and his and Zha Wenhui's seats will be exchanged.
To endure the calm for a while, take a step back and the more you think about it, the more you will lose. The more Chen Jue thought about it, the angrier and more unwilling he became. When he walked to Danzhou, south of Jianzhou (which had been changed to "Jianzhou" by the Southern Tang Dynasty at this time, but for convenience, "Lanzhou" was still used), Chen Jue finally became so angry that he became , did an earth-shattering event - dispatched troops according to the imperial edict!
In August 946 AD, Chen Jue pretended to be a saint and ordered Li Renda of Fuzhou to immediately go to Shengzhou Dynasty. At the same time, he claimed to be "temporarily responsible for Fuzhou affairs (with the right to know Fuzhou affairs)" and recruited local armies from Jianzhou, Tingzhou, Fuzhou, Xinzhou and the central government. stationed in the city, ordered Feng Yanlu, the supervisor of Jianzhou, to be the commander. He was fully armed and rushed to Fuzhou with great momentum.
Feng Yanlu half believed this "edict", if so.
Really, how could Chen Jue be allowed to have "right to know about Fuzhou affairs"? According to custom, if force continues to be used, it should be someone from the "warrior faction" who is responsible, and Chen Jue advocates peaceful negotiations. If it is false, it doesn't matter. Anyway, it is Chen Jue who falsely preached the saint, and he will bear all the consequences.
Therefore, Feng Yanlu had an extra thought from the moment he set out. He first wrote a letter to Li Renda of Fuzhou, asking him to reason with him and persuade him to surrender, otherwise he would be attacked by a military attack.
If Li Renda surrenders, Feng Yanlu will take most of the credit.
Li Renda replied to the challenge and sent troops to fight.
Chen Jue initially had no intention of actually attacking Fuzhou, but wanted to use military force to force Li Renda to surrender. Unexpectedly, Li Renda was so stubborn that he took the initiative to send troops to meet him. For example, the arrow had already left, and he couldn't even think about fighting.
Real-life wars are different from computer games. They require material supplies, weapons and equipment, food and military pay, etc. Chen Jue can rush in and mobilize a large amount of supplies, but he cannot continue to mobilize material supplies. He couldn't help it, and had no choice but to show his cards to Li Jing: No matter what, the war has broken out anyway, and - Fuzhou Li Renda is isolated, and the capture of Fuzhou City is just around the corner, as long as you give me a little support , guaranteed to win Fuzhou!
After receiving the memorial, Li Jing found out that Chen Jue had falsely conveyed the imperial edict and mobilized the army without authorization. However, when the matter was over and it was not time to investigate the responsibility, Li Jing fired his bow without looking back. Li Jing was forced to be involved in this incident. war. You can only add additional guarantees or force liquidation.
Li Jing weighed the rights and decided to make the appointment by herself, and she had to finish the fight with tears in her eyes. So Wang Chongwen, the envoy of Jianzhou Yong'an Army, was appointed as the commander-in-chief of the southeastern front army, and Wei Cen was appointed as the eastern military supervisor to lead his troops to support Fuzhou.
