Chapter 65 Hunan Turmoil, Waiting for the Opportunity
At the banquet that day, Zhang Wenbiao was already drunk, Ke Wufu shook Zhang Wenbiao with his hand, saw him collapse on the table, and immediately ordered the general to send him to the room.
Ke Wufu's face was flushed, and he used the excuse to go to the thatched house, branch out of the surrounding people, and when he turned the corner, he suddenly threw a strip of cloth full of words from his chest to the outside of the assassin's mansion.
At this moment, outside the wall, there were already people in ambush looking for cloth strips in the weeds, and when they found it, they immediately sent people to the north to deliver the news.
And Ke Wufu pretended to be fine, and came out of the thatched house and went to the west wing room arranged by Zhang Wenbiao to rest.
After seven or eight days, the news was transmitted back to Kaifeng. 、
"Your Highness, Hengzhou Secret Report."
Zhao Dezhao spread out the secret report and read it. Zhao Dezhao saw that there was no Yongzi in the military newspaper and said: Zhang Wenbiao has a lot of trust in him now, and they are planning to go further, so that the contradiction between Zhou Xingfeng and Zhang Wenbiao will deepen and disturb the local situation in Hunan.
"Ke is useless, why is there no Yong, there is no Yongzi, haha-" Zhao Dezhao was playing land chess with Wu Lingqing in the villa outside the city at the moment, and he received a secret report from Changchun Hall, saying that Wu Yongzi was in Hengzhou Zhang Wenbiao's assassination mansion at the moment.
"Xiao Zhao, why are you laughing? I'm about to win this game, and if you go on like this, you're going to lose badly. "Wu Lingqing has already eaten the other party's son.
"Don't worry, you can eat as much as you want, I can't play land chess anyway. I have something important to share with you today, I have just received the secret report from Hunan, everything is in the plan, and I believe that soon the Jing and Lake areas will return to my Great Song Dynasty. ”
"Yo roar - that dare is good, anyway, sooner or later it will be merged into the Great Song Dynasty. That's right, the two Gao Zhou families are really bad this year, and this day is still here after all. Wu Lingqing ate Zhao Dezhao again, "Anyway, this is a good thing, the world will still be unified after all, but the process is really difficult, I didn't expect that I, a military cadet, will be reborn here now, but I have become the young owner of the martial arts car dealership. ”
Zhao Dezhao listened to Wu Lingqing's nagging, and said: "Don't mind, this world is so big, there is always a place for you, not to mention that the Liao Kingdom in the north is the henchman of the Great Song Dynasty, and the Jiangnan countries should let the old-timers go to war, Sao Nian, we are still young, and we have seized the time to accumulate strength in the past few years." ”
"Ahhh Wu Lingqing sang in his Beijing accent.
“……”

Thousands of miles away in the Hengzhou Thorn History Mansion, since Zhang Wenbiao woke up the next day, his words with Mr. Ke last night made him full of pride, and they went to Ke Fufu's room to discuss important matters together.
Ke Wuwu This person is Wuyongzi, Zhang Wenbiao pushed open the door, and saw him sitting cross-legged on the bed, so he asked: "Wenbiao is a vulgar martial artist, since he became this assassin, the habits developed in the army for many years have not been changed, so he opened the door abruptly, which made Mr. Ke smile." ”
Wu Yongzi opened his eyes, immediately stood up, bowed and said, "Ke has seen the 'lord', why did the lord see me so early?" ”
"Oh, I see that Mr. has a great chest in his chest, and he is naturally like a fish in water like Uncle Liu Huang got Zhuge Kongming, so I want to ask Mr. if you have something." Although Zhang Wenbiao was born in the army, he has become a lot more literate when he speaks in recent years.
Wu Yongzi was on a mission this time, and on the surface, he naturally groveled to Zhang Wenbiao, but in fact, he was also guilty in his heart, so he deceived people and felt that he couldn't go, so since Zhang Wenbiao wanted to ask for his own opinion, he would implement it according to Zhao Dezhao's plan.
Wu Yongzi said: "Lord, you are too anxious, I have learned the art of face-to-face, last night to watch the sky, the destiny of heaven can not be violated, Zhou Xing will die within the year, and what the lord has to do now is to accumulate strength, according to the soldiers, and wait for Zhou Xingfeng to die, immediately attack, with the prestige of the lord in the Wuping army, will inevitably get the support of the old department of the Wuping army." At the same time, he asked the Great Song Dynasty to send troops, and the great cause of the lord could be accomplished at that time. ”
"Well, sir, I'm right, I'm too anxious." Zhang Wenbiao nodded, and then said goodbye to Ke Wufu.
After Zhang Wenbiao left, Wu Yongzi smiled at the wall.
_______________________________________________________
To the north of Hengzhou, the Wuping army was in the palace, and Zhou Xingfeng was very vigilant since he heard the news of his death outside, and asked people to arrest the rumor-mongers everywhere. In order to curry favor with the envoys of Zhou, the officials below wantonly arrested the suspects, which made the city boiling, and the people complained, and some people fled north from Hunan.
When Zhou Xingfeng heard about this, he planned to come forward to dispel the doubts of the people outside, so he endured his illness and Shen Ke, and at the same time punished the officials below, and released all the suspects from the cage.
Zhou Xingfeng thought that this matter must have been done by Zhang Wenbiao, among his ten brothers back then, now only he and Zhang Wenbiao are alone, presumably Zhang Wenbiao is also because he did not become a mulberry marching army, so he is resentful and dissatisfied. As soon as he died, Zhang Wenbiao was bound to rebel, and now although the Wuping army was canonized by the Great Song Dynasty, but it was divided into one side, and now the Wuping army only relied on Yang Shifan, if Yang Shifan could not help himself, I am afraid that when the time comes, there will only be a closed city to hold on, and the land will be returned to the Song Dynasty.
When the people saw Zhou Jie's face, they also thought it was just a rumor, but the sharp-eyed officials saw that Zhou Jie's face was not good, and they also had a trace of doubt in their hearts.
Zhou Xingfeng came forward to resolve a crisis, and Zhang Wenbiao was also glad that he did not rush to send troops. The matter between Zhou Xingfeng and Zhang Wenbiao, the two sworn brothers, has not yet begun, and the face is torn openly.
Therefore, they can only fight in secret, and the task of Wu Yongzi and Changchun Tang is to speed up the speed of the fight between Zhou and Zhang, so that Wu Pingjun can have internal friction, and at the same time, they are also waiting for the moment when the contradiction between Zhou and Zhang breaks out.
If Zhou died and Zhang rebelled, the four states of Hunan would definitely fight for the leadership of the Wuping army, and after a period of fighting, the imperial court took advantage of the road of Jingnan to quickly rehabilitate, and then forced Zhou Baoquan to hand over the military power with a counterinsurgency, and completely uprooted the Wuping army.
And all this was expected by Zhao Dezhao, who also wanted to speed up the pace of the unification of the Great Song Dynasty, and he did it just as a catalyst to let history appear in advance.
In Kaifeng, during this time, Zhao Kuangyin has been thinking about the situation in Hunan, and he also learned about what happened to Wupingjun from the secret agent of Wudesi.
The imperial court is already preparing to send troops south, and there is no reason to send troops at this moment, and the army will also consume a lot of grain and grass to go on the expedition, while Fan Zhen, Zhao Pu and others are asking the emperor to wait for the opportunity.
Zhao Kuangyin then calmed his heart, and at the same time began to step up the training of the forbidden army, this month, Zhao Kuangyin was fortunate to build a ship, and once again watched the water battle, hoping to stimulate the ambition of the soldiers.
Zhao Kuangyin suddenly received a fold from the Northwest High Defense, saying:
At the beginning of June, in the northwest of Qinzhou, a place called Fuqiang County, when Gao Fang served as the governor of Qinzhou in the past, he suggested that the imperial court set up mining and manufacturing services in this place. After Zhao Kuangyin agreed, Gao Fang sent soldiers to take turns into the mountains to cut timber to supply the capital.
There are also many Qiang tribes living in Fuqiang County, and when the Qinzhou soldiers entered the mountains to harvest wood, they competed with the local tribal chieftain Tubo Shangbo for timber. The Tubo Qiang chieftain Shang Boyu tribesmen cut down many soldiers, and Gao Fang arrested many Qiang tribesmen for this.
In June, Renzi, the Tibetan Department Shang Boyu and others competed for the construction of affairs, and committed Weibei with soldiers, and knew that Qinzhou was highly defended and shot away.
Zhao Kuangyin held this note in his hand, and was furious in the court, and the various ethnic groups in the northwest lived together, and the situation in the northwest that was finally stabilized If the situation in the northwest was lit because of a small Tubo Qiang tribe, then the Great Song Dynasty would send troops to the northwest, and it would fall into the pond of the northwest, and it would fall deeper and deeper.
The emperor was furious, and the courtiers came forward to persuade and offer advice, and finally at the suggestion of the courtiers, Wu Tingzuo replaced Gao Fang, and at the same time issued an edict to pardon Tubo Shangbo Yu and others, after which the local ethnic minorities were happy and convinced.
A brief rebellion in the northwest ended.

And above the ocean, there are many trials to endure, and the crew also takes on the mission of finding a new continent, which is an iron mission, irresistible, and at the same time the task is difficult, but it is also glorious.
Passing the compass and sextant at sea, the three fleets each headed for the destination marked on Zhao Dezhao's map. After going through thousands of rivers and mountains, hardships and dangers, the three fleets finally discovered something according to the established route, and on this route, they each found something surprising.
At the beginning of July, at this moment, at sea, the eastward fleet had now reached the Hawaiian Islands.
After much suffering, the southbound fleet reached what would become an island near East Timor for resupply.
The westbound fleet rounded the subcontinent and reached a deserted island near the Red Sea.
