In the early years of the Northern Song Dynasty, Zhao Kuangyin successfully established the Northern Song Dynasty through the "Chenqiao Mutiny" and the "Yellow Robe". However, the Northern Song Dynasty faced the challenge of a number of separatist regimes in the Central Plains and Jiangnan, such as Nanping, Later Shu, Later Han, Southern Tang, Wuyue, and Northern Han. In order to unify the world, Zhao Kuangyin worked tirelessly to wage war, adopting the strategy of Prime Minister Zhao Pu's "first the south and then the north, first the easy and then the difficult", and successfully destroyed the Jingnan, Houshu, Southern Han and other regimes.
Next, Zhao Kuangyin prepared to attack the Southern Tang Dynasty. Although Li Yu, the queen of the Southern Tang Dynasty, was known for his literary talents, his ability to govern the country was highly controversial. Most people thought that the Southern Tang would be easily annexed by the Northern Song Dynasty. However, there was a tiger general in the Southern Tang Dynasty, Lin Renzhao, who made Zhao Kuangyin deeply jealous with his bravery and strategy.
Lin Renzhao, a native of Nanping, Fujian, was resolute by nature and strong in martial arts, and was a famous general of the Southern Tang Dynasty during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period. In the second year of Later Zhou Xiande (955), when facing the Later Zhou army, he bravely resisted and turned the situation around. However, the situation of the war was ultimately unfavorable, and Lin Renzhao was appointed as the envoy of the town and navy.
After the establishment of the Northern Song Dynasty, Zhao Kuangyin adopted the policy of "easy first and then difficult", and did not plan to make a move against the Southern Tang Dynasty. However, Lin Renzhao put forward a strategy, suggesting that he should take advantage of the weak and difficult forces of the Northern Song Dynasty and Huainan to raise troops to attack the Northern Song Dynasty in order to recover the lost territory. This strategy aroused the vigilance of the Northern Song Dynasty, and Zhao Kuangyin felt deeply threatened.
After careful planning, Zhao Kuangyin formulated a counter-plot and bribed Lin Renzhao's entourage to obtain his portrait. In a tributary exchange with Li Congshan, King Zheng of the Southern Tang Dynasty, Zhao Kuangyin displayed a portrait of Lin Renzhao and claimed that Lin Renzhao was preparing to surrender to the Northern Song Dynasty. After Li Congshan returned to China, he reported to Li Yu, which eventually led to the tragedy of Lin Renzhao.
In the eighth year of Kaibao (975), the Song army invaded Jinling, and Li Yu surrendered. Three years later, Li Yu was killed by Zhao Taizong with poisoned wine. Lin Renzhao's death made the Southern Tang Dynasty no longer able to resist, and was finally annexed by the Northern Song Dynasty.
