The veteran Zhao Hongyi drove 8,000 troops, went out of the fortress for 1,000 miles, and burned the Dading Mansion in Khitan Zhongjing.

When the good news reached Youzhou, it was not just boiling, everyone exploded.

Hanlin bachelor Wang Pu ran out of the house barefoot, wearing single clothes, when he was sure that the good news was true, he burst into tears, danced with his hands, ran to the kitchen, took out two jars of wine, not only drank himself, but also called the guards around him, the family members, to drink wine together.

"Go, go to the street, buy more wine and come back, it's gone if it's late!"

As the family ran out, more and more explosions could be heard on the road, not a fight, but an excited crowd that lit fireworks and celebrated the victory.

The number of fireworks in Youzhou is limited, and the gang of bastards in the army actually took out the gunpowder in the warehouse, wrapped it in red paper, and ran to the shooting range to light it...... Everyone went crazy, exhausted all means, and expressed the joy in their chests, which was ten thousand times more enthusiastic than a year ago!

On the streets of Youzhou, an old Taoist priest with a white beard is walking, he is the son of Fuyao Chen Shu!

Lao Dao narrowed his eyes and smiled happily.

The rock-like solid Dao heart is also blooming at this moment.

Chen Jian subconsciously touched an iron inkstone in his arms, which was given to him by Sang Weihan, the former prime minister.

Speaking of which, there are only two people in the world who can best understand the current situation, one is the old lady Feng Dao in Yecheng, and the other is Chen Tuan, the son of Fuyao!

After all, the two of them know best what has happened in the past few decades, and both of them are the most critical witnesses!

It all starts with Sang Weihan...... This person's father is called Sang Gong and has been a petty official, Sang Weihan is also from a family of eunuchs, and he has been ambitious since he was a child, but Sang Weihan has a shortcoming, he looks too ugly.

In the future, you will need an interview to find a job, but in fact, you will also need to look at your appearance in the imperial examination.

Because the officials represent the emperor and govern the people, if they are too ugly, it is equivalent to losing the face of the court.

The figure of the word "same" in the first place is about a burly man with big ears and a majestic majesty.

The "Tian" font is broad-shouldered and thin-waisted, with slender limbs.

The font shape of "Guan" is tall and thin, similar to a model.

The "day" font is short and concise, capable and shrewd.

These four body shapes are all good materials for officials.

As for Sang Weihan, he is the same, he is short and ugly, and he has a big long face, so he has repeatedly hit the wall in the imperial examination. But this guy is full of toughness, he told people that "a seven-foot body is not as good as a one-foot face", and he also cast an iron inkstone with his own hands, swearing that only when the iron inkstone is worn through, will he give up the imperial examination.

After countless encounters and countless ridicules, Sang Weihan finally entered the Shi and the first, that year he was twenty-six years old, after the Jinshi, Sang Weihan transferred to Shi Jingjian's subordinates, served as the secretary of the Jiedu envoy, and became Shi Jingjian's confidant and strategist.

The so-called Jiedu envoy is an official position that is very easy to develop, as long as you follow the right person, you can ascend to the sky in one step, for example, Wei Renpu is Guo Wei's secretary, and Wang Pu is Chai Rong's secretary.

Sang Weihan's luck was not as good as these two, and the people he was with were targeted by the emperor.

Shi Jingjiao is the son-in-law of Li Siyuan of Mingzong of the Later Tang Dynasty, and after the death of his father-in-law, Li Conghou, the third son of Li Siyuan, succeeded to the throne, but as soon as he became emperor, he was seized by the stronger Li Congke, the adopted son of Li Siyuan.

In order to show his loyalty, Shi Jingjiao even handed over his brother-in-law Li Conghou to Li Congke in exchange for the trust of the new monarch.

However, as a general under Mingzong Li Siyuan, Li Congke was afraid of Shi Jingjiao for a long time, and wanted to get rid of him quickly.

Faced with an increasingly dangerous situation, Shi Jingjiao gathered his civil and military subordinates to discuss countermeasures day and night. With his strength, he couldn't compete with Li Congke, and after thinking about it, there was only one way left, and that was to ask the Khitan for help.

But if you want the Khitan to send troops, you can't do it without paying the price.

Among the civil and military forces at that time, only two people stood up, one was Sang Weihan, and the other was Liu Zhiyuan, the boss of Guo Wei, the ancestor of the Later Han Dynasty!

And among these two people, the one who supports Shi Jingjiao the most is Sang Weihan!

This person with Shi Jingjiao's letter, ran to meet the Khitan Emperor Yelu Deguang, and strongly argued the necessity of aiding Shi Jingjiao, saying that "he will do his best to serve the great country with China's wealth", and "knelt in front of the tent, from dawn to dusk, weeping and fighting", Sang Weihan's hard performance finally moved the Khitan.

Yelu Deguang sent troops and helped Shi Jingjiao destroy the Later Tang Dynasty and establish the Later Jin Dynasty.

As the first hero, Sang Weihan reached the pinnacle of his life, he was appointed as the Zhongshu Shilang Tongping Zhangshi and the Privy Envoy of Quanzhi, and later served as the Hanlin Bachelor, the prime minister, and became a veritable minister of the Later Jin Dynasty.

Sang Weihan has a ruthless energy that will never give up until he reaches his goal!

This was tormented by the failure of the imperial examinations.

Therefore, he would not hesitate to support Shi Jingjiao and betray Yan Yun. But if it is because of this, it is wrong to think that Sang Weihan is bent on betraying the country.

Chen Jun remembered that when Sang Weihan was drunk, he cried bitterly several times and sweated through his clothes. He told Chen Jun that if he betrayed Yanyun, if he could not recover his homeland, he would be scolded by all generations after a hundred years.

Sang Weihan in the prime minister's office, active action, farming Sang to the real warehouse, trade Jia to abundant goods, accumulate strength, he in the song, suggested Shi Jingjiao: "Your Majesty is willing to train farmers to practice war, raise soldiers and rest farmers." If the country has no internal worries, the people have spare strength, and then they will watch the provocation and move, then the move will be successful. ”

Sang Weihan wanted to wait for the time to be ripe and take back the land of Yanyun...... If he succeeded, he might have become a model of lying on his back, but God didn't favor him again.

At this time, there was a "joke" in the Later Jin Dynasty, and this person was called Jing Yanguang.

He is Shi Jingjiao's lonely minister, in the face of the Khitan, Jing Yanguang put forward the most famous proposition "Sun can, call the minister can't", Shi Jingjiao recognized the Khitan Emperor as his father, that is a family matter, we admit it, we can let the Great Jin Dynasty call the Khitan a minister, that is a state affair, absolutely not work!

Of course, the Khitan was furious, and in the face of the Khitan's questioning, Jing Yanguang shouted the bold words of "100,000 horizontal grinding swords".

It's just that when the Khitan really sent troops, the Later Jin Dynasty sent Fu Yanqing and Gao Xingzhou two generals to defend against the enemy, but Jing Yanguang, who had spoken a lot, became extremely cowardly, and even didn't have the courage to lead the troops into battle, and Gao Xingzhou almost died because of it.

Needless to say, the Khitans entered Kaifeng and destroyed the Later Jin, Jing Yanguang died by choking his throat and suffocating himself, and Sang Weihan died at the hands of the rebels...... Yelu Deguang changed the name of the country to Da Liao in Kaifeng and ascended the throne as emperor.

In the past few decades, countless people have been in turmoil.

Only the rise and fall of the Later Jin Dynasty is the most lamentable, and it also leaves the greatest shame!

The loss of Yanyun, the humiliation of the emperor, the fall of Kaifeng, and the trampling of aliens...... People who are a little bloody, when they think of this passage, their blood will boil and they will be furious!

A year ago, Guo Wei drove a personal expedition to recover Youzhou, washing away half of his shame.

A year later, the veteran Zhao Hongyin burned down the Dading Mansion and avenged the loss of Kaifeng!

What was missing in the past is complete at this moment!

People can celebrate the victory, the sons of the Han family, the subjects of the Great Zhou, all can puff up their chests and be a proud and proud husband!

What's even more exciting is to drive troops to attack and run rampant in the desert, which is a feat only in the Han and Tang dynasties, and now the Great Zhou can also carry the banner, and the revival of the Han family is just around the corner.

As the Son of Heaven, Chai Rong laughed heartily and was ecstatic in the face of the good news.

"Congratulations to Your Majesty, the victory in this battle is enough to compare with the Han and Tang Dynasties, and the champion Hou is like a god with soldiers, making people throw themselves to the ground." Wang Pu, who was drunk, said excitedly.

Chai Rong forcibly suppressed his excitement, "Master Wang, my Great Zhou has not yet dominated the world, and the national strength is weak, although I won, it is still far from the Han and Tang Dynasties, and it will take time to completely pacify the border and eliminate the Khitan threat." ”

Chai Rong said, glancing at Ye Hua, "Champion Hou, what do you think is the most lacking in Da Zhou right now?" ”

Ye Hua said: "Your Majesty, it is gratifying to burn down the Dading Mansion in Zhongjing and wash away the shame before the snow." It's just that after losing Zhongjing, the Khitans will be reduced to an ordinary nomadic tribe, living in pursuit of water and grass, living in no fixed place, and erratic, but even more difficult to deal with. The minister thinks that in the future, my Great Zhou should focus on cavalry, raise more war horses, select elite soldiers, sweep out of the fortress, and attack the barbarians, so as to play a real peace! ”

"Good!"

Chai Rong stretched out his thumb, "Ye Qing thinks long-term, and is not fascinated by the victory in front of him, he is really a rare pillar of the country, my share!" ”

Chai Rong said happily: "If you want to develop cavalry, you must raise more good horses, but although the world is big, good horses are hard to find!" Chai Rong smiled and said, "Ye Qing, have you thought about how to get a war horse?" ”

Ye Hua muttered: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the easiest good horses to get at the moment are all in the Western Regions, can you send heavy troops to open the road to the Western Regions and get war horses!" ”

Chai Rong laughed, "This method is not bad, it seems that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty once sent troops to attack the Dawan Kingdom in order to seek sweat and blood, but is there such a thing?" ”

"Yes!" Wang Pu immediately said: "Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty once sent an envoy to carry a horse of pure gold, wanting to exchange it for a bloody horse, but Dawan refused and killed the Han envoy. Emperor Wu was furious and sent Li Guangli to lead tens of thousands of cavalry to drive 4,000 miles, but the initial battle was unfavorable, and less than one-tenth of the men and horses fled back. A few years later, Emperor Wu sent Li Guangli to attack Dawan again, leading 60,000 soldiers, 30,000 horses, 100,000 cattle, and also brought two Soma masters to Dawan. Finally, dozens of good horses were obtained, and 3,000 male and female horses below the middle level were obtained. After a long journey, when they arrived at Yumen Pass, there were only more than 1,000 bloody horses left. ”、

Wang Pu sighed: "Emperor Wu went on two expeditions for the sake of sweat and blood, which took several years, and killed and injured no less than 100,000 people, which can be described as a heavy price...... But since then, the Central Plains good horse BMW has emerged in endlessly. The Han family's iron cavalry looked at it, expeditioned into the desert, and shocked the world. The old minister secretly thought that Emperor Wu's move was really far-sighted and extraordinary! ”

Ye Hua adheres to the same point of view, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty may not be able to lead the army in person, but when it comes to the vision of martial strategy, his courage is great, and he is the best emperor of the past dynasties.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that even if he pays a greater price, he will get a good horse and sweep the desert!" Ye Hua said seriously.

Chai Rong bowed his head, "What Ye Qing said is extremely true, but I am much luckier in Da Zhou, because the Khitan people have already done it for us!" ”

Ye Hua took a breath and expressed puzzlement.

Chai Rong stuffed the good news into Ye Hua's hand, "Look! ”

Ye Hua hurriedly unfolded, and Wang Pu also poked his head and came over.

One article and one martial arts, one old and one young, the two of them read to the end, and they all widened their eyes and showed a look of surprise!

The Khitan got a good horse from the Western Regions, and before he could cover the heat, he was captured by Zhao Hongyin!

"God bless Great Zhou, God bless Your Majesty!" Wang Pu knelt on the ground excitedly, and the mountain shouted long live.

Ye Hua was equally excited, but he still kept calm.

"Your Majesty, Xiao Siwen knows that the war horse is lost, and he will definitely attack the old general Zhao with all his might, and the top priority is how to protect the old general and the war horse to return to Youzhou safely!"
