On the first day of the first month of the seventh year of Xiande (960)...

According to the current parlance, it is the first day of the Lunar New Year. However, this day was indeed a very extraordinary day.

Although the whole Zhou Dynasty was immersed in a quiet and peaceful atmosphere, everyone was celebrating the arrival of the New Year.

It has been half a year since Emperor Zhou Gong ascended the throne, and the civil and military ministers in the court have also tried their best to assist. Although it does not have the martial arts of Zhou Shizong's reign, it is also a rule.

The opening of the new year is full of lights.

The palace was completely renewed, and the young Empress Dowager Fu and the young Emperor Gong had already put on their costumes and greeted the worship of hundreds of officials in the hall.

Prime Minister Fan Zhen, Deputy Commander Han Tong, and Zhao Kuangyin in front of the palace all bowed down in front of the king.

However, the next memorable thing happened.

At this moment, before the early dynasty ended, there was emergency army intelligence: the Northern Han and Liao States had formed a coalition to attack the Great Zhou, and tens of thousands of troops were killing Zhenzhou and Dingzhou!

The beautiful atmosphere was disturbed by this sudden message, which was supposed to be very festive before the news arrived. But as soon as the news came, everyone was not calm. I can't calm down anymore.

Although the enemy army came to calm the two cities, at this moment, no one can calm down.

Now where does it matter if he is calm or not, hurry up and think of a way, what can I do? Send troops to resist!

The calm court immediately became chaotic, and everyone blamed the Liaohan coalition army for choosing a very uncomfortable day.

So without asking for verification, several prime ministers began to discuss and sent generals to fight.

So who exactly should be sent? It seems that there are not many people who can send it.

After discussion, everyone elected a person, and this person is "Zhao Kuangyin".

Everyone agreed that Zhao Kuangyin was feasible, and Zhao Kuangyin followed Chai Rong to fight in the south and the north, and made great achievements, so he was recommended as a general, a pioneer general, and took command of the expedition.

At the same time, there is another team stationed there in Chenqiaoyi, and this team is the "Hulu Army" led by Mei Xiaohan.

At this time, Zhao Kuangyin, who had served as the supreme commander of the forbidden army for half a year, quickly made a deployment for the battle:

Ordered the former deputy capital of the forbidden army palace to check Murong Yanzhao to lead the front army as the vanguard and take the lead in going north.

ordered the guards and horses to command Gao Huaide, and the guards and infantry to command Zhang Lingduo to go with him.

In front of the palace, he commanded the envoys, and his righteous brother Shi Shouxin and Wang Xianqi, the marquis of Yu, led troops in Beijing to assist the deputy commander Han Tong in the capital.

All the work, and the combat deployment, seemed to be perfect.

However, another rumor began to spread.

"Check and be the son of heaven."

The people of Kaifeng City began to spread this sentence everywhere.

Ordinary people who don't know the truth naturally think of the tragic past that happened in the city ten years ago, and many people began to pack their bags and flee out of the city. Hiding from the impending disaster.

Ten years ago...

Emperor Yin of the Later Han Dynasty was suspicious of the ministers of the auxiliary state, and after an agreement with Guo Yunming, in 950 A.D., he sent Guo Wei to guard the capital of Ye on the grounds of the Liao army Kou Hebei, and then killed Yang, Shi and Wang and other ministers, and killed Guo Wei's family, and summoned Murong Yanchao of the Taining army to enter Beijing quickly.

Guo Wei followed Wei Renpu's advice to raise troops and went south, and sent his adopted son Chai Rong to guard the Yedu. The following year, he defeated Murong Yanchao and invaded Kaifeng, and Emperor Yin of the Later Han Dynasty was finally killed by Guo Yunming and others.

Guo Wei originally intended to set up Liu Chongzi, Liu Yun of the Xuzhou Army, as the emperor, and first took the Empress Dowager Li to the court. At that time, it happened that the Liao army invaded, and Guo Wei sent out his army to defend against the enemy, but when the army arrived in Lanzhou, the sergeant supported Guo Wei as emperor, and the army returned to Kaifeng.

In 951 A.D., Guo Wei was proclaimed emperor, and after the founding of the Zhou Dynasty, that is, the Taizu of the Later Zhou Dynasty, and the Later Han Dynasty died.

Of course, Zhao Kuangyin also heard this rumor, and his psychological pressure was also very great. So I planned to go home and discuss it with my family and communicate well.

When he told his sister about it, not only did he not get his sister's sympathy, but he was scolded and beaten by his sister.

"When the husband is facing a big event, can he make self-determination, what is the reason for coming to the house to terrorize the woman!"

So Zhao Kuangyin fled gloomily.

This life is very short, and the time of one or two days is even shorter, and soon the time will be the third day of the first lunar month.

In front of the palace, Zhao Kuangyin led his troops to the north, preparing to meet the invasion of the Han-Liao coalition army.

"Hey!"

Zhao Kuangyin couldn't help but sigh, although he had fought countless battles, but this time he seemed worried, and his heart was very unsteady.

Murong Yanzhao saw that Zhao Kuangyin was in a bad mood, so he said, "Why is the general like this? ”

Murong Yanzhao was a famous military general from the end of the Five Dynasties to the beginning of the Northern Song Dynasty, and his father Murong Zhang was also a very famous general.

Mu Yanrong fought horses all his life, he was good at attacking, and fought in the south and north all his life. As a military commander, he participated in several major unification wars of the Later Zhou Dynasty and the Northern Song Dynasty, and made great achievements.

This year, he is 47 years old, 15 years older than 32-year-old Zhao Kuangyin.

Zhao Kuangyin said: "I don't know why this heart is always unsteady. ”

After saying this, Zhao Kuangyin stopped talking.

The army commanded by Zhao Kuangyin went out of the city, with a regular lineup, high morale, and no offense against the people.

In the afternoon of the same day, the team arrived at Chenqiaoyi, which was 40 miles away from Feng.

At this moment, Mei Xiaohan has been waiting at Chenqiaoyi for a long time. He never imagined that he would become a witness to history, to witness a very important piece of history.

At this moment, the sunset has not yet sunset, the sunset is like fire, reflecting half of the sky, it is a strange red, it is difficult to explain clearly in words.

The third day of the first month, the third day of the new year. Many people have never been to Chenqiaoyi, and they will not know that this place will be remembered by history forever.

The afternoon of this day is the afternoon of the third day of the first lunar month.

It is both the end of an era and the beginning of an era.

There will be no two suns in the sky, as if yesterday has passed and will surely welcome a new beginning.

The wind was still blowing, Mei Xiaohan took a sip of wine, he naturally wouldn't say anything, and he wouldn't say anything to the soldiers around him.

The next thing to do will be remembered forever and ever.

Chen Qiaoyi! Chen Qiaoyi!

However, today's evening, there are really two suns, and no one knows whether it is in Chenqiaoyi, the evening of the third day of the first lunar month every year.

When you look up at the stars, no... The night is far from coming, and it should be the time to look up at the sky.

There will be two suns in the sky.

On the third day of the first month of this year, that is, the third day of the first month of the seventh year of Xiande, someone really saw it.

Maybe they've heard the story of Hou Yi shooting the sun, but it's just a legend.

There was another sun under the sun, and this strange phenomenon surprised everyone, and the whole army saw it. Everyone started talking about what was going on?

Mei Xiaohan wanted to laugh a little after looking at the two suns, because this is a bit like one sun becoming two suns after the QQ upgrade.

Where is Zhao Kuangyin at this time?

He was drinking with people and leading the army on an expedition, but he was drinking, which has to be said that he was very bold.

But he was indeed drinking, and he was drinking happily with others, and he was drinking heartily.

It stands to reason that the Liaohan army should be launching a fierce attack at this moment.

However, Zhao Kuangyin didn't seem to care about all this.

So did the Liaohan army launch an attack?

Perhaps this will forever be a mystery.

That's right, Zhao Kuangyin is indeed drinking, and the person who drank with him is Mei Xiaohan, which is also in line with historical records.

Because it is recorded in history that he was very drunk, as for who he drank with, I don't remember very clearly.

There is no clear record of how many glasses were drunk.

It is not clearly stated whether it is white wine, red wine, or sorghum wine to be drunk.

In short, drinking is drinking, no matter what kind of wine it is...

Mei Xiaohan asked with a smile: "At this moment, the Liaohan army is attacking, and General Zhao doesn't seem to be in a hurry!" ”

Zhao Kuangyin laughed, but did not answer.

The two of them pushed the cups and changed the glasses, cup after cup, and kept drinking in the military tent.

The sky was getting darker, and the night was getting late.

Some people are beginning to worry at the moment, what is about to happen, what kind of scene will it be to interpret in front of their eyes?

This night will be a, forever, for many... A night that will be remembered for a lifetime.
