Having learned from previous lessons, the Southern Tang Dynasty did not rashly send out an army to attack the city this time. Instead, it sent out a professional HR team to dig out socialist corners, gather up socialist sheep, and recruit surrenders and rebels on the north bank of the Huaihe River.
Since ancient times, war has been multi-dimensional and has never been just a physical collision of blood and flesh.
For example, today's familiar financial wars and trades have been put into practice by our ancestors during the Spring and Autumn Period. The most talked about one is Qi's use of food wars to conquer Lu, Chu and other countries without bloodshed. What is horrifying to think about is that at the end of the Cold War of the last century, Eagle Sauce also made a big fuss about food and became one of the important factors that brought down Big Brother. However, the specific method of Eagle Sauce is actually the same as that of more than two thousand years ago. Duke Huan and Guan Zhong of Qi did exactly the same thing.
Another example is recruitment and surrender, finding or cultivating opposition forces in the target country, and providing them with funds, weapons, intelligence, instructors, etc. In short, I pay and you pay to harm your own government. Looking at the current hotspots of lighthouse countries, including some sensitive places in our country, do you also feel a familiar feeling?
In short, war has never been limited to military confrontation in the traditional sense, and the Chinese have long been familiar with it. They have been proficient in its use for at least two thousand years. \./hand\./machine\./version\./no\./wrong\./first\./post~~
At that time, due to the harsh rule of the Later Han Dynasty and the civil war centered on the "Three Towns Rebellion", many people in the Central Plains chose to leave their homes and become refugees or hooligans. It is detailed in the main line of the Later Han Dynasty in the previous article.
The refugees on the north bank of the Huaihe River often made eye contact to the other bank, begging for protection from the Southern Tang Dynasty. Due to the political situation, Li Jing secretly supported them in continuing to cause trouble in Huaibei.
The destructive power of a rabble is limited. Because what they lack most is not funds or weapons, but a tight organization, a complete structure, and unified guidance, which can condense the scattered sand and allow them to exert the effect of 1+1>2.
Li Jing decided to recruit and surrender in depth. He wanted to formally incorporate these miscellaneous people, give them deep organizational care and guidance, and let these opposition groups form a fighting force.
In 949 AD, Li Jing sent the Central Plains surrendered general Huangfu Hui to lead the 10,000-strong army, together with Zhang Luan, Xiao Chuyun, Zhang Yifang and others, to set up "mobile recruitment and security offices" in Haizhou, Sizhou and other border areas. , Sizhou as the hub, went deep into the territory of the Later Han Dynasty, and integrated the local bandits and bandits.
The parties involved are definitely unwilling to admit such dirty, dirty, and dirty hands. They often have to wrap up a layer of seemingly reasonable and sanctimonious outer coverings. These outer coverings include but are not limited to human rights, freedom, democracy, nation, Religion will also cooperate with certain public opinion assistance, such as using "a beautiful scenery" to beautify the riots launched by the thugs they support.
Of course, Li Jing also had to whitewash it. According to the explanation of the political propaganda agency of the Southern Tang Dynasty: At that time, the Central Plains was empty and bandits were running rampant. As a descendant of the Tang Dynasty clan, he really couldn't bear to see the people of the Central Plains living in dire straits, so he opened his heart and did not distinguish between enemies. , provide humanitarian care...
Under the sugar-coated cannonball offensive, Xian Shilang and others defected to the Southern Tang Dynasty from Mengcheng Town in Bozhou during the Later Han Dynasty. This was a huge achievement in the political offensive work of the Southern Tang Dynasty. When a large number of miscellaneous troops and bandits were recruited, some regular troops actually rebelled and surrendered.

After the incident of Xian Shilang's treason and surrender to the enemy was also greatly shocked, Xuzhou general Cheng Deqin immediately went out and defeated the Southern Tang army in Dong'e Town, capturing and killing 600 people.
Huangfu Hui and others of the Southern Tang Dynasty immediately returned to the Southern Tang Dynasty.
He directly sent troops to attack, but was dissuaded by an attempted ambush; he wrote a letter to appeal, but was ignored; he tried to infiltrate and dig walls, but also failed... This made Li Shouzhen in the river say that the great descendant of Li Tang was pushed to the end and continued to rise and fall. How embarrassing is Comrade Jing's love?
Fortunately, Li Jing was not too embarrassed, because half a year later (July 949), Li Jing received the latest news: Li Shouzhen's army was destroyed, and the whole family was killed.
After learning from the pain, Li Jing did some more work, appointing Zha Wenhui as a military retainer in Jianzhou Yong'an, and transferred Wang Chongwen, the Jiedushi envoy of Jianzhou, to be in charge of Luzhou. To the north of Luzhou is Shouzhou. According to the previous analysis, Shouzhou is the best gathering place for the Northern Expedition of the Southern Tang Dynasty, and Luzhou is the strategic depth of Shouzhou. By transferring Wang Chongwen here, it should be said that at least in terms of personnel arrangements, Li Jing has achieved a passing standard.
After several months of turmoil, on October 10, Li Jing's Northern Expedition army made a comeback, crossed from Shouzhou and attacked Zhengyang under the rule of Yingzhou in the Later Han Dynasty, but was defeated by Bai Fujin, the defender of Yingzhou.
This is the fourth provocation of the Southern Tang Dynasty against the Later Han Dynasty in the past year, taking advantage of the "Three Towns Rebellion". Although they all failed to sue, Southern Tang did.
The Dharma is like a dung beetle lying on its feet - it doesn't bite, it's disgusting.
The Hou Han fought back.
12. Wang Wangang, the governor of Mizhou in the Later Han Dynasty, led his troops to attack Dishui under the rule of Haizhou in the Southern Tang Dynasty, and then systematically destroyed the town of Dishui and razed it to the ground.
Wang Wan dared to go to Shu Liu Cheng and ask for more troops so that he could take advantage of the victory in the south and teach the Southern Tang a greater lesson.
The Later Han Dynasty immediately sent Guo Qiong to lead the Central Forbidden Army and Qizhou soldiers to assist. As mentioned in the introduction to the Later Han Dynasty in the previous article, the real purpose of Guo Qiong's trip was not to reinforce Wang Wan, but to coerce Qingzhou Jiedushi Liu Zhu into Beijing on the way (Qingzhou).
Although the "Three Towns Rebellion" was put down, the internal problems of the Later Han Dynasty were still very serious. The threat to Liu Chengyou from the general groups such as Guo Wei, Yang Bin, Shi Hongzhao, etc. would only increase. If a large-scale military operation was launched against the Southern Tang Dynasty, it would obviously be further increased. Because of the power of the general group, Liu Chengyou had no intention of expanding the scale of the "self-defense counterattack against Huaihe River".
Li Jing accepted the teaching humbly, completely gave up the idea of the Northern Expedition, and removed Li Jinquan from his position as "Commander-in-Chief of the Northern Expedition".
Never won a fight, never lost verbally. On the first day of the year 950 AD, Li Jing issued a New Year's address and issued an edict to defend himself. The general idea was that there have been frequent disasters such as solar eclipses and earthquakes recently. Is it just that the ruler is immoral? In fact, God is benevolent and uses this to convey to me that I want peace and not war. In the past, when Fujian was born, warriors and strong generals did not listen to me, went out to fight, violated God's will, and seized farmers. Who is responsible? I declare that I am responsible for this. So - this mistake cannot be made again. Northern Expedition, no.
Li Jing also announced an amnesty and distributed relief grain and relief funds to poor households.
