Rome was not built in a day, and there was more than one reason for the collapse of the Southern Tang Dynasty, and Li Yu himself was to blame. Tie Xuan, a confidant minister, once commented on him: "In a world of war, there is a war-weary heart. Although Kong Ming is alive, it is difficult to protect the country. " Zhao Kuangyin faced many problems when he ascended the throne, and the territory under the jurisdiction of Dasong was not large. Take Jiangnan at that time, for example, there are still many places that have not been settled.
On the whole, the winning rate of sending troops to the south of the Yangtze River was higher, so Zhao Kuangyin made a detailed battle plan and pushed the division of tigers and wolves to the south. The soldiers of the Dasong Dynasty had strong fighting capacity and their opponents were too weak, and almost every battle was won. They never met their opponents in the First World War. In just a few years, they basically wiped out all parts of the south of the Yangtze River, and the capital of the Southern Han Dynasty was quickly breached by Song Jun, and the territory was placed under the territory of the Dasong Dynasty.
The news that Nan Han was destroyed reached Li Yuer, who was so scared that he was at a loss that he called his ministers to discuss countermeasures overnight. Finally, he listened to a person's suggestion and asked his younger brother to pay tribute to the capital of Dasong instead of calling him the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, which was equivalent to bowing down. Seeing that Li Yu was so sincere, Zhao Kuangyin decided to let him leave temporarily, instead of attacking the later Tang Dynasty. He had to deal with other enemies first.
In the seventh year of Kaibao, Zhao Kuangyin asked Li Yu to come to Beijing as soon as possible, and told him not to find someone to go instead of himself as he did last time. How clever Li Yu is. I guess this is Zhao Kuangyin's plan to invite you into the urn. Once in DaSong territory, it is almost impossible to leave. Then it won't be called every day, and it's invalid. Now that she knows what the other person is thinking, Li Yu won't leave without saying anything, and she still understands the truth that sheep enter the tiger's mouth.
So he politely refused Zhao Kuangyin's request under the pretext of physical discomfort, and the contradiction between the two sides intensified, which was tantamount to falling out. Zhao Kuangyin was a soldier and had a bad temper. He felt that Li Yu wouldn't give him a hard time, as if he had forgotten his last name. Enemy before enemy is a common strategy of the ancients. In front of Zhao Kuangyin, he has given Li Yu enough face, and he is not going to put up with it any longer.
Despite the desperate resistance of the soldiers in the later Tang Dynasty, due to the disparity in strength, the pace of Song Jun could not be stopped, and Song Jun soon reached the gate of Jinling. It is conceivable that it won't be long before you can break into the city. At this time, Li couldn't sleep well and racked his brains to find a way to retreat from the enemy. Even if Han Xin, the god of war, stepped over to help, it would be of no help.
What if I can't beat you? There are only two ways to go, either give in easily or fight for survival with the city. But Li Yu still has some illusions in his heart, so he chose the third way, that is, sending a special envoy to Zhao Kuangyin for peace. Zhao Kuangyin directly refused, and angrily shouted 10: "Can others sleep soundly by the sofa?" Li Yu lost completely and had to go out of the city to surrender. The domineering word 10 has become the mantra of many people.
