In 960 AD, on the stage of history, Zhao Kuangyin, the capital inspector of the Later Zhou Dynasty, directed a mutiny in Chenqiao, which quietly changed the fate of the country like a spring breeze and rain. He replaced Hou Zhou and became the founding emperor of the Northern Song Dynasty, opening a new chapter in history. However, the alternation of power is always accompanied by waves and strife.
Soon after, Li Yun, like an enraged tiger, stepped forward to challenge Zhao Kuangyin's authority. However, Zhao Kuangyin was not an idle person, he was like a calm hunter, accurately and decisively put down Li Yun's rebellion. Li Yun's rebellion had just been put down, and those disgruntled Jiedu envoys also reined in their edges and obediently went to the capital to worship Zhao Kuangyin.

Among these worshippers, there is one who stands out as a festivaler. He was expecting to be received by Zhao Kuangyin, but Zhao Kuangyin turned a blind eye to him. This cold reception added fuel to the fire, completely angering the Jiedu envoy, and finally forcing him to embark on the path of rebellion.
Shortly after Zhao Kuangyin put down Li Yun's rebellion, Huainan Jiedu made Li Chongjin also set off a storm. Unlike Li Yun, Li Chongjin is not without respect for Zhao Kuangyin. He once had hope and hoped to defect to Zhao Kuangyin, but Zhao Kuangyin's indifference and rejection made him feel disappointed and helpless. Eventually, anger and despair drove him to the path of rebellion.
Li Chongjin is quite special in terms of identity, he is the nephew of Guo Wei, the founding emperor of the Later Zhou Dynasty, and has a deep blood relationship with Chai Rong of Zhou Shizong. In the Later Zhou Dynasty, he served as the boss of the Guards Division, which was equivalent to the status of the former division of Zhao Kuangyin's Palace. However, after Emperor Zhou Gong ascended the throne, fate played a joke on him. He was appointed as the envoy of Huainan Jiedu, far away from the capital, and when Zhao Kuangyin launched the Chenqiao Mutiny, he was still in distant Yangzhou, unaware of the impending coup.
We have no way of knowing what Lee Chongjin thought during the rebellion. But we can imagine how in the face of Zhao Kuangyin's indifference and rejection, the disappointment and resentment in his heart are increasing day by day. And when he was stripped of his military power, and even his request to see the new emperor was denied, the anger in his heart finally exploded. He ordered the walls to be raised and the moat dug deep in preparation for the coming war. It's all about fighting for survival and dignity, and he was forced to take this thorny path.
At the same time, Li Yun also launched a rebellion under the Zhaoyi Army. After Li Chongjin heard the news, he immediately contacted his confidant Zhai Shouxun and tried to join forces with Li Yun to fight against Zhao Kuangyin. However, unexpectedly, Zhai Shouxun betrayed him and sent the secret letter to Zhao Kuangyin. This allowed Zhao Kuangyin to grasp the evidence of Li Chongjin's collusion with Li Yun to rebel. With all the human and material evidence, the conspiracy between Li Chongjin and Li Yun finally surfaced, and it became a powerful ** for Zhao Kuangyin to quell the rebellion.
