After Zhao Dezhao returned to the house, he closed the door and entered the study, thinking carefully about the words of today's prince Guo Zongxun, but he didn't expect Guo Zongxun to have such a means at a young age, and he really underestimated the royal children. And this year, Guo Zongxun is about to ascend the throne as the emperor, and he will come out of the hidden mansion at that time. If you live a peaceful and stable life, you may become a celebrity around the Son of Heaven in the future, but the world will change after all.
As long as Zhao Dezhao believes in what he can do, he will definitely go back to do it, open roads in the mountains and build bridges in the water.
After that, Zhao Dezhao entered the palace every day, served the prince Guo Zongxun, and left the palace at sunset, day after day.
One day, when he saw three children come to the gate of Guo Zongxun's palace, Zhao Dezhao saw that it was Guo Zongxun's younger brother Guo Zongrang (Cao Wang Chai Xirang), Guo Zongjin (Ji Wang Chai Xijin) and Guo Zongzhi (Qi Wang Chai Xizhi). Seeing these three children, Zhao Dezhao's heart was entangled. The change of dynasty is also fate, and the royal family of the previous dynasty is the biggest obstacle.
Then the three children, after visiting their brother, saw a person older than their brother, and asked curiously, "Brother, who is this?" ”
Guo Zongxun introduced: "Zong Rang, Zong Jin, Zong Zhi, this is Brother Zhao, who was just sent by my father to accompany me, and his father is General Zhao Kuangyin in front of my father. ”
"It turned out to be the son of General Zhao, Zong Rang (Zong Jin, Zong Xu), who had seen Brother Zhao. Brother, I will also serve as well. ”
Guo Zongxun smiled and said, "After Daddy goes down to court, my brother will go and tell Daddy and let the three of you children also go to class." ”
"Okay—"
It turns out that the emperor's family also has family affection, but will his own uncle become bloodthirsty because of power in this life? Zhao Dezhao thought like this, and looked at the four children in front of him, their fates will be very different in the future, and from now on, life and death will be difficult to see.
After the quarrel, the three children went back to their palaces.
But history still moved along the track, and soon after, the famous historical battle finally broke out - the battle of Liao, and the three passes of the north.
In the sixth year of Xiande and the ninth year of the Liao Ying calendar, on March 11, Guo Rong attempted to attack the Liao State, decided to go on a northern expedition, and appointed the privy envoy Wang Pu to stay in Tokyo before the expedition, Wu Yan from the Xuanhui Southern Yuan, and Zan Jurun from the Xuanhui North to stay behind, and the three divisions to make Zhang Meiquan Da Nei deploy and retain the capital.
In late February, all things were properly arranged, and after the rear was stabilized, after the ministers of the court and the central government discussed the matter, Guo Rong, a generation of male lords, embarked on the road of the imperial conquest.
Since Huainan and the three conquests of the Tang Kingdom, the forbidden army of the Son of Heaven has become warriors in a hundred battles, and groups of generals have risen from the reckless, and their combat effectiveness has become more and more intimidating.
On the day of leaving the division, Guo Rong personally led the forbidden army out of Chenqiaomen.
On that day, Zhao Dezhao got Guo Rong's promise to strike for a day and personally bid farewell to Zhao Kuangyin in the send-off procession, but at this moment Zhao Dezhao was not worried about his father at all, so he did not send a secret agent from Changchun Hall.
After seeing his father Zhao Kuangyin out of the city, he finally had a day of leisure today, so Zhao Dezhao returned to Zhao's mansion, and then went to find Wuyongzi outside the city to answer the doubts in his heart.
During this time, Zhao Dezhao's mount was also upgraded, from a donkey cart to a carriage, in the days when he went out to Huainan, it was really miserable to ride in a carriage every day, and his butt was the most unbearable, so some days ago, he tossed and improved his mount, and obtained a car with excellent stability performance, shock absorption, braking, and steering. And then he wanted to introduce the model to the public.
Today he drove his car, Zhao Dezhao went out of the city and rushed out of the city to see Wuyongzi.
Outside the city, Zhao Dezhao got out of the car and saw Wuyongzi holding his hands on the ground, head down, upside down. He watched curiously.
Wu Yongzi knew that Zhao Dezhao was coming, so he hurriedly changed his posture, got on the ground with both feet, stood up, and said, "Little brother, it's here." ”
Zhao Dezhao looked preoccupied, so he got straight to the point and said: "Dao Chief, Dezhao came today to ask Dao Chang about something, he has been troubled a lot recently, and I hope that Dao Chang will solve Dezhao's doubts." ”
"Alas, little brother, I'm just an outsider, what my little brother is worried about should be benevolence, righteousness and morality, I don't know how to face it in the future, but those who become big things are not informal. The so-called 'benevolence' is big and small, and the great benevolence is the common people, all things in the world; the small benevolence is just for someone or something, and those who have achieved great things, should think of the common people, not because of one person and lose the great benevolence, the so-called 'small loss of greatness', this is the principle. Therefore, little brother, we should practice great benevolence and righteousness and great morality. ”
"Thank you for your advice! Dezhao understood and knew what to do. ”
"Little brother, you're just a fan of the authorities, just understand. The general trend of the world is still unified after all, when the six countries were destroyed, the Qin country was one, and the people were safe. Now the male lord Guo Rong conforms to the general trend of the world and wants to unify China, but unfortunately his life is thin and he collapses halfway. Some things should go with the flow, and some things can go against the trend, but you can't force it, the key is up to you. ”
Zhao Dezhao stood aside silently, and soon after, he said goodbye to Wuyongzi and went to the Liangcheng Inn. Now that his righteous brother Wan Song has become an official under his father, Yang Meng is very happy, and the righteous sons he received are all talents.
After entering the inn, I saw Yang Meng practicing Tai Chi in the courtyard, and Yang Meng stopped when he heard the sound and asked, "Zhao'er, why do you have time to see your father-in-law recently." ”
"Father-in-law, Zhao'er has been going to the palace to study these days, if it weren't for His Majesty's permission to take a day off today, I'm afraid I'll be tired."
Yang Meng said with a smile: "It's a good thing to be able to work as an errand in the Qiandi, Guo Zongxun is the eldest son of the current emperor, and the future prince will be the emperor, with Zhao'er's talent, I am afraid that he will be a marquis in the future." ”
"My father-in-law made fun of him, Zhao'er is still young, it is not a big deal, and he is an idle person who is not interested in being an official."
"Zhao'er, is this true?"
Zhao Dezhao complained: "I say it in my heart, but the reality is so cruel, and I am responsible." There have been too many things recently, and the father-in-law is okay, and Zhao'er has to share some of it for the father-in-law. ”
Yang Meng said: "This is a bitter child, you have been a father in the past few years, you have grown up day by day, and you have to endure what ordinary people can't bear, and bear what others can't bear, you said that your father-in-law was not like this when he was young." But Zhao'er, don't complain about everything in the world, you must do a good job of what you should be asked to bear. ”
"The father-in-law looked up to him, and Zhao'er had no choice but to do it." Zhao Dezhao looked preoccupied.
During this period of time, Zhao Dezhao was depressed in his heart, suffering from what was about to happen, he found that he was reborn in this life, and there were more worries and sorrows, and there were some things that he had to do.
After bidding farewell to his father-in-law, he returned to sleep and continued to enter the palace tomorrow to accompany his studies, hoping that he could change the fate of others with his own strength, and try to hope that good people have a good life.

After leaving the city on March 11, Guo Rong ordered the army to step up the march on that day, and asked the generals to lead the horses, troops, and sailors to Cangzhou (southeast of Cangxian County, Hebei).
The army went north, and the army marched in the direction of Youzhou.
Out of Gyeonggi Fudi, Guo Rong's army took a boat up the river
If the Zhou State Naval Division went north, it would have to pass through the Ying and Mo Erzhou waterways, so Guo Rong then issued an order to deploy Hantong by land to enter Cangzhou first, repair the embankment, and dredge the Ying, Mo (Hebei Hejian, Renqiu North Zhengzhou Town) two state waterways.
On 15 April, the Hantong garrison was stationed south of the Qianning Army (Qingxian County, Hebei).
On April 16, the army marched all the way north to Cangzhou. After arriving in Cangzhou, the Zhou army rested for a while and set off again.
The next day, on the 17th, Guo Rong led his army to the Qianning Army. At dusk, Guo Rong led tens of thousands of infantry and cavalry north. Soon after, the Liaoning Prefecture Assassin Wang Hongju opened the city and surrendered.
On the 20th, he ordered Hantong to deploy for the land route, and Zhao Kuangyin to deploy for the waterway.
On the 23rd, the Liao Emperor Yelu Jing ordered Xiao Siwen to be the head of the soldiers and horses, and led the army to intercept Zhou **, but Xiao Siwen was defeated.
The next day, the Zhou army passed through Duliukou (Jinghaibei, Tianjin), transferred troops against the current to the west, the army quickly arrived at Yijin Pass (Hebei Ba County), the guard general Zhong Tinghui surrendered to the city, so far south of Waqiao Pass is owned by the Zhou State, Zhou has three states, 17 counties, 18,360 households, and tens of thousands of Zhou divisions have not sent a target.
In Guo Rong's army, he is celebrating the recovery of three states and seventeen counties at the moment.
"Congratulations to Your Majesty, you have recovered three states and seventeen counties!" The generals in the army celebrated Guo Rong, the son of heaven.
Guo Rong drank this cup and said with a smile: "Since Shi Jingjiao offered Yanyun Land in Sixteen Prefectures, the northern captives take advantage of the situation to invade the south every time, kill my people, rob my cattle and sheep, who can bear it?" Thanks to the generals, they fought bravely to kill the enemy, and in recent battles, the strong men swayed, the soldiers pointed everywhere, invincible, and raised the prestige of our country. Kill the northern Khitan and flee. I hope that you will continue to make more military contributions. led a group of soldiers and horses to the north to storm Youzhou City. ”
"Your Majesty, long live Your Majesty, long live Da Zhou!"
Then Guo Rong discussed with the generals in the army to recover Youzhou (southwest of Beijing), and the generals thought that the land of Yannan was not advisable now, because the Liao cavalry were all gathered in the north of Youzhou, and the Zhou army should not go deep.
Guo Rong didn't listen, and before long, the vanguard of the Zhou army approached Waqiao Pass (south of Zhuozhou, Hebei), Yao Neibin, the Liao defender, surrendered, and Guo Rong entered Waqiao Pass.
Following the advance, due to the gradual narrowing of the waterway, the movement of the huge ship was blocked, Guo Rongnai ordered the abandonment of the ship to land, led tens of thousands of troops to attack bravely, and even went down to Waqiao Pass (southwest of Xiongxian County, Hebei), Sikou Pass (Dongxin'an Town, Baxian County, Hebei) and Mo and Yingzhou.
The Liaowaqiao guards Yao Neibin, Mozhou Assassin Liu Chuxin, and Yingzhou Assassin Gao Yanhui surrendered successively, and recovered Guannan (east of Baiyangdian in Hebei, south of the Daqing River Basin to the area between the rivers).
The Zhou State took Waqiaoguan as Xiongzhou, Yijin Pass as Bazhou, and Dingfu of Fabin and Di Erzhou built Bazhou City.
The Liao Emperor Yelu Jing was shocked and hurriedly sent an envoy to Jinyang (Jinyuan Town, Taiyuan, Shanxi) for 700 miles, and dispatched Han troops to attack and harass the border of the Zhou State in order to contain the Zhou army.
Guo Rong ordered the guards to command Li Chongjin to lead his troops to the Tumen (southwest of Houlu, Hebei) to meet the Han army. Yu Baijing (northeast of Yangqu, Shanxi) defeated the Han soldiers and beheaded more than 2,000 ranks.
In just 42 days after Guo Rong dispatched his troops, he quickly recovered Sanguan, counted 17 counties in 3 prefectures, and completely obtained the territory of Guannan.
