At the end of March of the twelfth year of Tianfu, Li Tang sent 80,000 troops to the north, besieging Suzhou for nearly a month, without the slightest progress, in mid-April, the Han army under the leadership of the emperor's younger brother Liu Chengxun and Guo Wei went south to rescue Suzhou. 81 Chinese Network

When the news came, ** Marshal Li Jingsui panicked, and was ready to quickly cross the Huai River to flee south, but unfortunately, Wei Cen, who had never been on the battlefield, but also made meritorious contributions, not only did not agree with Li Jingsui's escape doctrine, but instead advocated the battle, forcing Li Jingsui to send troops, to take advantage of the Han army's arrival and not yet set up camp, to raid the Han army, give the Han army a blow, let them taste the power.

It's a pity that as soon as ** was dispatched, he ran into the front of the Han army, the white-clothed cavalry led by Zhao Kuangyin. Zhao Kuangyin is like Zhang Liao who fought Xiaoyaojin in the big war, commanding the army, in his own play, the left wing is Gao Huaide, the right wing is Murong Yanzhao, the middle rushes, echoing left and right, rushing towards the **. **Mainly infantry, the cavalry suffered a loss, but there were many soldiers, as long as he stabilized his position, it was not impossible to give Zhao Kuangyin a certain blow.

On the ancient battlefield, the two armies charged, fighting desperately, relying on the courage to fight, the two armies were entangled, and the entire battlefield sometimes forward, sometimes backward, this is a very normal phenomenon. Just like the martial arts movies that are often watched, two kung fu masters compete to test their internal skills, the teacup in the middle will sometimes go to the left, sometimes to the right, it is not the first time that the teacup is pushed to the left, and the person on the left will definitely lose. It's a pity that the soldiers are one and the bears are in a nest, and at the critical moment when the two sides are in a tug-of-war, Wei Cen, the superintendent who has never seen a tragic battlefield, saw ** retreat slightly, and mistakenly thought that ** had been defeated, and in a panic, he abandoned the army and fled alone. The coach is gone, and the fighting spirit immediately disappeared without a trace, and it was only a temporary retreat, ready to take a breath and fight again, and they fled with Wei Cen one after another. Wei Cen was defeated like this, and Li Jingsui, who wanted to flash people under the city of Suzhou, hurriedly packed up his things and went south in a hurry.

Zhao Kuangyin is like driving a tiger and driving a sheep, chasing all the way, retreating all the way, as a result, Zhao Kuangyin defeated 80,000 ** with 1oooo men and horses in the front of the Han army, cut more than 2oooo levels, and captured more than 4oooo people, including Wei Cen, Guo Wei's army has not yet arrived under the city of Suzhou, and the siege of Suzhou has been resolved.

Liu Chengxun was surprised, such a warlike general could be wrapped up in his sleeve. After he arrived in Suzhou with the army, he immediately sent people to Zhao Kuangyin to send wine, pigs, cattle and mutton, rewarded the front soldiers and horses, and celebrated the victory. and also personally summoned Zhao Kuangyin.

"The last general, Zhao Kuangyin, has seen His Royal Highness the Prince." In the prince's tent, Zhao Kuangyin, who had just been summoned, bowed down and saluted. He didn't squint, his expression was natural, neither humble nor arrogant, as if what he had just defeated was not Li Tang's elite troops, but a rabble.

"Ahem, ahem... Liu Chengxun coughed a few times, calmed down, walked over quickly, helped Zhao Kuangyin up, and said, "General Zhao, don't be so polite." cough cough cough, today's general broke Li Tang's 100,000 male soldiers with 1oooo soldiers and horses, which is the biggest victory in the history of our Han Dynasty. The widow is very happy, God bless my great man, to be such a fierce general. General Zhao, please be seated. ”

Liu Chengxun saw Zhao Kuangyin sitting down, and he said: "Who does the general think is the enemy of our Han at the moment?" ”

Zhao Kuangyin said without hesitation: "His Royal Highness Prince Bing, the last general thinks that the Khitan is the real enemy of my Han Dynasty, and the rest of the countries are insignificant. ”

Looking at Zhao Kuangyin's confident appearance, Liu Chengxun laughed, but when he smiled, he felt that his throat and eyes were itchy, and he couldn't help coughing a few times, and after waiting for a long time, he was quieter, but his face was already swollen and red, and he said: "The husband should be like this!" The Khitan is indeed a strong rival of my Han Dynasty, but the southern countries should not be underestimated, especially the Chu State. I think the King of Chu is a person who is frolicking and sexless on the surface, but he is a deep-minded person. Does the general know what Ma Yun said to the widow after the Han and Chu peace talks? ”

Zhao Kuangyin suddenly remembered Ma Yun's sneaky appearance at that time, and his brother-in-law didn't say anything good about himself, but Zhao Kuangyin's face didn't move, and he just bowed his hand and said: "I don't know." ”

Liu Chengxun held the teacup and said softly: "He recommended the general to the widow, he said that the general is a hero, and he is definitely not a thing in the pool." It is Xiang Yu, Ran Min and the like. ”

Everyone knows who Xiang Yu is. This Ran Min is a great figure in the era of the Sixteen Kingdoms of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, during the Sixteen Kingdoms period, Wuhu entered the Central Plains and oppressed the Han people, at this time Ran Min was born out of thin air, issued the "Hu Killing Order", claiming to kill all the Hu people who entered the Central Plains (because his move was a bit against the historical process of the great integration of the Chinese nation, the middle school history textbook deleted all the things about him, only the introduction of Shi Le, the founding emperor of Zhao after his grandfather, and the emperor Ran Min of Ran Wei did not mention a word). These two people have three common characteristics, one is that they are brave and unparalleled, they are both brave and ruthless masters, at that time, if the two of them ranked second, no one dared to rank first; The second is that there is a backbone in the back of the head, Xiang Yu slaughtered the king of Chu Huai and became the overlord of Western Chu, and Ran Min slaughtered his godbrother and became the emperor of Ran Wei; The third is that neither of them ended well, Xiang Yu was defeated and killed, and Ran Min was defeated and killed.

When Liu Chengxun said this, Zhao Kuangyin didn't think that Ma Yun was patting his own sycophants and saying that he was a world-famous general, but felt that Ma Yun was framing himself and saying that he was Xiang Yu, wasn't he hinting to Liu Chengxun that he would become the king of Chu Huai in the future?

No one has too much good reputation, and no one wants to wear this rebellious hat. Zhao Kuangyin stood up in a panic, knelt down and said, "This... This is Jack Ma deliberately framing me. The loyalty of the last general can be seen by the sun and the moon. I couldn't help but feel a strong hatred for Ma Yun in my heart. The relationship between him and Ma Yun was not very good, and the last time he negotiated peace, Ma Yun deliberately got close to him, Zhao Kuangyin felt that it was wrong, but he didn't expect Ma Yun to be so ruthless and wanted to trap himself to death.

Liu Chengxun smiled at the corner of his mouth, stepped forward quickly, helped Zhao Kuangyin up again, and said: "General rest assured, the widow is by no means a mediocre person, Ma Yun intends to separate my monarch and ministers, and the widow can see it at a glance." ”

Zhao Kuangyin looked grateful and was about to speak. Liu Chengxun stopped him and said, "The general just said that Khitan is my great rival. This is not bad, but the Khitan is just invading the Han Dynasty and looting some money and grain, just to take advantage of the Central Plains, and the Chu State is the fierce enemy of our Han Dynasty, and he wants to plot against our Han Dynasty. Dengzhou and Tangzhou were ceded to the Chu State, and our Han lost the natural shield in the south. The widow has always thought, who can be sent to serve as the assassin of Caizhou (now Xincai, Henan), and watch the tiger in the south for our Han Dynasty? The widow thinks about it, General Zhao, you are the most suitable person in the heart of the widow. ”

Zhao Kuangyin was a little excited, if it was someone else, even if it sounded good: trust you, believe in you, and secretly adjust you to a Qingshui Yamen to see the gate, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince actually let himself serve as the assassin of Caizhou, which... What a trust. Dengzhou and Tangzhou are lost, and Caizhou is the closest to Tangzhou. That's a lot of trust in yourself.

Zhao Kuangyin was very grateful, and was about to agree, by the way, to express his fierce loyalty to the Han Dynasty, but Liu Chengxun stopped him and asked him to go back, think about it, and don't rush to agree.

The little Caizhou is not important at all in Liu Chengxun's opinion, but Zhao Kuangyin is indeed a talent, if only he could pull him to his side. And the best way to win over Zhao Kuangyin is to let Zhao Kuangyin know that he thinks differently about him and trusts him very much. As for Ma Yun's words, Liu Chengxun didn't take it to heart at all, in this era, the daughter who married out was like water spilled, and she was not taken seriously at all. In the troubled times, how many women have been married off for political reasons, according to Ma Yun's meaning, everyone is a relative, what kind of work are you doing.

Zhao Kuangyin returned to his military tent with some emotion, and when he raised his eyes, Wang Pu didn't know when, but he actually came. He adjusted his mood and said with a smile: "Mr. Wang, what kind of wind is blowing you." The third brother respects you very much, and can't wait to follow you all the time, learn from you, and chat with you. Why are you here alone today. ”

Wang Pu sneered and said, "General Guo has already gone to the barracks to comfort the soldiers, but it's General Zhao, you, who are full of spring breeze, seem to have a happy event." ”

This Wang Pu is a little stubborn, but he is really good, although Zhao Kuangyin can't get used to him, he doesn't dare to offend easily, just said casually: "Just now, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince summoned him and rewarded the meritorious soldiers. ”

Wang Pu said coldly: "The general should be promoted to the position of assassin for this great achievement." Let the old man think about it, it should be the history of Caizhou's assassination. ”

Zhao Kuangyin was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously asked, "How do you know?" He knew that Wang Pu was powerful, but he didn't expect this person to be able to guess what others were thinking.

Wang Pu sat down on the chair with a grin and said, "What's so hard to guess about this." A few days ago, when Han and Chu were discussing peace, I saw that in the end, Ma Yun pulled His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and whispered a few words, in my opinion, it must be that General Zhao is his relative, let His Royal Highness the Crown Prince take care of you. ”

Zhao Kuangyin said angrily: "This guy compares me to Xiang Yu and Ran Min, hum... Hum... One day, I will capture him alive to make him look good. ”

"The general is brave, Ma Yun is afraid in his heart, that is inevitable, but how can you say that you are Xiang Yu and Ran Min? All he has to do is say that you have a good relationship with him, and that's enough. What you want is a suspicion, a suspicion, if you say it so bluntly, will anyone be fooled? In addition, the relationship between you and Ma Yun, general, is nothing more than a relative, or the weakest kind, everyone knows this. Relying on this relationship, who would believe that you, General Zhao, would be treasonous? You must know that in the present, kinship is far less than clan relationship. Your Zhao clan is all in the Central Plains, all in Bianjing, how can you rebel? ”

Zhao Kuangyin was stunned, but...

"As for Caizhou, hehe... You don't have to think about how Ma Yun framed you, think about it calmly, is Caizhou really important? If you are the king of Chu and you want to go on a northern expedition, will you go to Caizhou? ”

Zhao Kuangyin was silent for a while, suddenly, gasped, damn, I was deceived by Liu Chengxun, if Lao Tzu is the king of Chu, the Northern Expedition must go to Fangcheng, take Xuzhou directly, and then go straight to Bianjing, how can it be possible to go east first and fight Caizhou, you must know that there is Shenzhou of the Han Dynasty in the south of Caizhou, and Xuzhou of the Han Dynasty in the north, attacking Caizhou, isn't it easy to be surrounded?

Wang Pu looked at Zhao Kuangyin's gloomy face and relieved his heart: You kid, it's better to stay by General Guo's side honestly.

Not long after, Guo Rong walked in from outside, he took off his cloak casually, was still on the chair on the side, and said to Zhao Kuangyin with a smile: "Seventh, the prince is looking for you, hehe... What kind of reward for you, you have made a great contribution this time, so that our army can only follow behind and watch the play, and there is no credit at all. ”

Zhao Kuangyin looked embarrassed and said, "Prince, if you want me to be the assassin of Caizhou, what do you think, third brother?" As he spoke, he glanced at Guo Rong intentionally or unintentionally.

Guo Rong, as usual, still looked so kind, he thought about it carefully, and then said: "Old Seven, you have made such a great contribution and become a assassin, it is more than enough." However, this Caizhou may not be the place to use. You think, Caizhou is adjacent to Tangzhou, but the twelve brothers have returned south with their troops, and I am afraid that they will not go north in a few years, and we Han may not be able to go south in the near future. Seventh brother, you are a famous general at that time, and this good steel should be used on the blade. The prefectures of Hebei are still in the hands of the Khitans, and Du Chongwei has a heart of disobedience. After the army returns north, it is inevitable to crusade against Du Chongwei and recover Hebei, which is the time for heroes to make meritorious contributions, and there is no future in Caizhou. ”

Zhao Kuangyin answered: "What the third brother said is reasonable, and the younger brother is not willing to stay in Caizhou, but the prince said so, how should I refuse." ”

Guo Rong frowned, and seemed to feel that this matter was not easy to do, offending the prince was not a wise move, but after listening to the prince's words, his seventh brother's future was much darker.

Wang Pu said: "General Guo, what you just analyzed is that if General Zhao is left in Caizhou, it will be completely a pearl secret investment. It's hard to say, easy to say. After all, this Caizhou assassination history was privately promised by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. If he wants to officially issue an official document, he must go to Bianjing to face the saint, we can do something from Marshal Guo, let Marshal Guo go to the Ming Sheng, and still use General Zhao as the vanguard to crusade against Du Chongwei! Guo Wei is Liu Zhiyuan's confidant, this idea can still be done, and Liu Chengxun's intention is nothing more than to win over Zhao Kuangyin, let Zhao Kuangyin understand the importance he attaches to him, and buy a good one for Zhao Kuangyin, therefore, Liu Chengxun will not desperately prevent Zhao Kuangyin from going north.
