Chapter 24 Wandering

Zhao Kuangyin was very hesitant, but he couldn't help but go??? ?? ?? Although Guo Rong transferred him from the front line back to Kaifeng Mansion, he did not put it on the shelf, let him rest at home and retire with honor. On the contrary, Guo Rong not only did not let Zhao Kuangyin be a duke on this, but instead gave him a heavy responsibility, let him command the front of the palace, control the left camp of the Kaifeng Forbidden Army, not only named Zhao Kuangyin the Marquis, but also worshiped him as the right attendant of the military department, Kaifeng Mansion Yin.

The right attendant of the military department is not enough, but the power of Kaifeng Mansion Yin is not small, helping the emperor to control the capital. In the original history, Guo Rong himself served as the Yin of Kaifeng Mansion, and Zhao Kuangyin's younger brother Zhao Kuangyi also won the world in the position of Yin of Kaifeng Mansion. It can be seen that Zhao Kuangyin was recalled, not abandoned, on the contrary, Emperor Guo Rong had high hopes for him.

However, Shi Xubai didn't see it that way, the boat of Da Zhou was already broken and could not be saved. He made a dangerous move, wanting the imperial court to invite the Uighurs of Ganzhou to send troops to cause the emptiness of Hexi, and then Zhao Kuangyin could suddenly return to Hexi and seize the foundation of Hexi. Continue to compete with the state of Chu. In Shi Xubai's heart, once the Great Zhou perished, the focus of contradictions in the entire world would immediately shift from the Great Zhou, and the situation of the Four Kingdoms attacking the Great Zhou, or the situation of the North and the South attacking the Great Zhou, would become the Chu State and the Khitan fighting for the land of Hebei. Just as the Central Plains Dynasty never forgets Yanyun Sixteen, it is absolutely impossible for the Great Chu to seize the Yellow River Valley, and it is absolutely impossible to sit back and watch the Khitan own the land of Hebei, and a new round of war will inevitably start between them. As long as it works properly, Hexi will naturally be able to survive between the two powerful enemies and wait for the opportunity. However, man is not as good as heaven. At a critical moment, Guo Rong actually drew his salary from the bottom of the kettle. A holy decree is going to recall Zhao Kuangyin.

Shi Xubai is naturally unwilling, but there is no way to be unwilling. Guo Rong is the emperor, he stands on the moral high ground, and Guo Rong has a high prestige in the army. Zhao Kuangyin wants to break away from Guo Rong at this time, it is undoubtedly a dead end, except for people in Hexi, there are not many people who are willing to follow. Even in the army of Hexi, between Guo Rong and Zhao Kuangyin, not everyone necessarily chooses Zhao Kuangyin.

The two of them were speechless and could only return to Bianjing silently. When the two of them arrived in Jingshi, they realized that the whole situation had changed dramatically. The main change was that the Chu army finally lost its gentle veil, and Chiguoguo annexed Shu. Under the threat of Ma Guangmeng's army, Han Baozheng's 100,000 Shu troops surrendered. The Fengxiang area all fell into the hands of the Chu State; At the same time, Guo Rong also adjusted the deployment of the sergeants of the Great Zhou, and he sent his cousin, Li Chongjin, the original commander of the palace, to the front line of Huaibei to replace Zhang Yongde in command of the Huaibei Zhou army; Zhang Yongde and Zhao Kuangyin were appointed as the inspectors and commanders of the palace, commanding and controlling the forbidden army in Kaifeng Mansion. Gao Huaide was still appointed as the head of the Guanzhong Xing Battalion, and he supervised the military affairs of the Guanzhong states. Shi Shouxin was appointed to supervise Yanyun's military and command the war against the Khitans. There is no doubt that Da Zhou hopes to delay time with his solid defensive ability, so that the Chu army and the Khitan army will not be able to continue fighting.

"The last general will meet Your Majesty!" As soon as Zhao Kuangyin arrived in Beijing, he was received by Guo Rong. And this kind of move undoubtedly shows Guo Rong's respect and attention to Zhao Kuangyin.

"Seventh brother, get up. Between our brothers, we don't need to pay so much attention. Guo Rong said weakly, he stretched out his hand like helping Zhao Kuangyin.

Zhao Kuangyin stood up, raised his eyes and looked at Guo Rong, seeing that Guo Rong was pale, thin, and the clothes on his shoulders bulged out a big bag, presumably there were plasters and other things, although the hall was spacious, but the strong smell of medicine could not be concealed.

"Your Majesty, are you alright?" Zhao Kuangyin held Guo Rong's right hand and asked with concern. It stands to reason that courtiers can't hear about the emperor's illness so bluntly, especially the military generals of the foreign domain. However, after all, it has been a friendship for more than ten years, and seeing that Guo Rong is so in good spirits, Zhao Kuangyin has a trace of pain in his heart, and he can't take too much care of it for a while.

"When the country is in crisis, I will recall the seventh brother from the front line to Beijing, seventh brother, do you have any complaints in your heart?" Guo Rong glanced at Zhao Kuangyin.

The words were fluttering, and the tone seemed to be his brother's casual chatter, but the content of those words surprised Zhao Kuangyin. Do you have complaints? Can he be without complaints? Zhao Kuangyin asked himself, he can be regarded as a loyal person, although there are many brothers in the army, and those who are willing to live and die for him do not say, but Zhao Kuangyin asked himself if he was worthy of Guo Rong. When the country is in great difficulty, he is better at the front than at the rear. Could it be that his arrogant brother has become so suspicious after being injured?

"Don't dare!"

"Don't dare. Hehe. Don't dare, it's not nothing! Guo Rong said with a wry smile, seeing that cold sweat seemed oozing from Zhao Kuangyin's forehead, Guo Rong couldn't help but smile and said, "Seventh brother, do you blame your brother for being suspicious?" ”

"Weichen didn't dare. His Majesty has far-sightedness, and the minister does not dare to speculate. Zhao Kuangyin added an explanation to himself.

Guo Rong waved his hand, turned his head and said to the eunuch who was waiting on the side: "Bring the folds on the table!" Take a look at my seventh brother! ”

Zhao Kuangyin took those pieces in surprise, opened them and saw that his heart was suddenly extremely cold. These pieces are all impeachment of Zhao Kuangyin, and there are no other reasons, the most critical one is that Zhao Kuangyin colluded with the Chu State, and Ya is not credible at all. The reason is also obvious, Ya and Ma Yun, the emperor of Chu, are relatives, and Ma Yun can be said to be Zhao Kuangyin's brother-in-law. When Chu and Han met in Tangzhou, Ma Yun also personally told Prince Han about Zhao Kuangyin, hoping that Prince Han could take more care of Zhao Kuangyin.

Zhao Kuangyin's cold sweat flowed down. He knelt on the ground and said, "Your Majesty, your minister... ”

"Seventh brother、、、" Guo Rong interrupted Zhao Kuangyin's confession and said: "Since the first battle of Mayi, Brother Wei has felt that you are by no means a general who is responsible for you, but a handsome talent who can preside over the overall situation at a critical moment!" I transferred you back from the front line to let you take charge of the overall situation! ”

"I'm afraid it's hard for the minister to take responsibility." Zhao Kuangyin knelt at the head of Guo Rong's bed.

"I think you deserve it!" Guo Rong said: "In the future, you have to be brave in the affairs of the military!" ”

"Minister... The minister dares not to smear his brain to repay the emperor's kindness! Zhao Kuangyin said. Although her sister is the queen in Dachu, Zhao Kuangyin really has no idea of surrendering.

However, Zhao Kuangyin may not have expected that as soon as he left the hall with his front foot, Wang Pu's back foot turned from behind the screen and said, "Your Majesty, what do you think?" ”

"I have been friends with Kuang Yin for many years, and he will definitely not fail me!" Guo Rong said.

"When Emperor Taizu was in Taiyuan, I am afraid he never thought of losing Han Gaozu!" Wang Pu unceremoniously pushed back, but he still sighed and said, "However, since General Zhao has returned to Kaifeng, then Shi Xubai's suggestion can be used!" ”

"Well, just do what you said, choose the messenger well and rush to Ganzhou!" Guo Rong waved his hand and said.

Wang Pu nodded, looked at Guo Rong quietly, and had no intention of leaving. Guo Rong looked at Wang Pu in surprise and said, "Mr. Wang, is there something else?" ”

"Your Majesty, Wei Chen is not calculating, so that I fell into such a situation. The minister is guilty! Wang Pu knelt on the ground and pleaded guilty. In fact, Wang Pu wanted to say this for a long time, but he has always hoped that there will be a turnaround, which can help Da Zhou turn the danger into a disaster, but unfortunately, not only did this turn not appear, Da Zhou is indeed becoming more and more dangerous.

"Hey. People are not as good as heaven, what do you dare to do? Guo Rong said, he faintly regretted it in his heart, but, judging from the situation at that time, the chance of winning the first crusade against the Khitan was still the greatest, but no one thought that when the Khitan people were facing collapse, there were still strange soldiers quietly watching on the side. Waiting for the best time.

"If the situation continues to deteriorate like this, I wonder what Your Majesty's plans are?" Wang Pu hesitated for a long time, and he finally asked this sentence.

Guo Rong was stunned, and his enthusiasm for more than ten years gradually cooled down. Yes, if this situation continues to deteriorate like this, where will I go, and where will I go from here?

"Yanshan was not recovered, but Fengxiang was lost again. Hebei has no danger to defend, and Guanzhong is always under the watchful eye of the Chu army. The previous plans all fell through. It will be extremely difficult for my Great Zhou to continue to confront the Khitan and Chu States in the Central Plains. “

Guo Rong understood what Wang Pu meant, what was extremely difficult, basically there was no hope! He asked, "Then what do you do?" ”

"The minister thought that if he couldn't do anything, he could go west. Take the land west of the river to defend themselves, throw the Central Plains to the Khitan and Chu states, and let them fight on their own. Wang Pu actually put forward the same idea as Shi Xubai.

This time, Guo Rong did not immediately agree. In the next few days, he secretly discussed with Zhang Yongde and Zhao Kuangyin, and the two had their own opinions, which made Guo Rong a little confused. Zhang Yongde agreed, but Zhao Kuangyin objected. The reason for his opposition is also reasonable: it is easy to go to Hexi, but it is difficult to return to the Central Plains! This sentence aroused Guo Rong's ambition again, making it difficult for him to break off.

After Zhao Kuangyin went back, he took out the matter and discussed it with Shi Xubai, but Shi Xubai was shocked and said, "General, it's wrong." You're wrong. You shouldn't object to moving west. On the contrary, you should support the westward migration. ”

"This... Why is that? Zhao Kuangyin asked.

"General, in my guess, Wang Pu is the only one who can make this suggestion in the Manchu Dynasty, after all, Wang Pu proposed it when he was in Guanzhong, let the land of Shandong retreat to Guanzhong and watch the gap in the world. The general guarded Hexi and should have a very good understanding of the situation in Hexi. Even if you want to oppose the westward migration, you can't say the words of returning to the south of the Central Plains, this kind of thing should not be said by a person like the general, let alone by the general so happily. Wang Pushan guessed people's hearts, and through the words of the general, he would definitely guess that the general had broad ambitions. If... If the emperor is healthy, then naturally everything will be fine. Once the emperor is gone, and the general has such great ambitions, who in the world can govern? As soon as the general said this, I was afraid that Wang Pu would deal with the general. ”
