(I'm about to speed up the plot.) ）

In Chuzhou City over there, because Zhao Kuangyin's army had just captured the city, and the original Chuzhou City belonged to the Tang Kingdom, after it was captured by the Zhou army, the bandits have been rampant, and Zhao Kuangyin has to deal with so many things every day, and his head is big. He only knows about fighting, and he doesn't ask about anything else.

Soon after, Zhao Kuangyin asked the Son of Heaven to send a capable person to manage the affairs of Chuzhou City.

After Guo Rong received Zhao Kuangyin's report, he began to think about who would be responsible.

And Fan Zhen followed the son of heaven Guo Rong to conquer Huainan, and most of the edicts were drafted by him, and the Wu Chinese scholars were not unconvinced. Every time Fan Zhen issued an edict, he never disobeyed the law, ordered the assassination of Shi County, and must take the household registration as the top political matter, Guo Rong has always been full of praise for Fan Zhen's work.

Now Fan Zhen happened to be drafting the edict under his seat, and he raised his head and saw Fan Zhen conscientiously drafting documents and edicts,

Guo Rong then asked Fan Qian's opinion and said: "Wensu, Chuzhou City has been down, I don't know who to send to the management position?" ”

Fan Zhen thought for a while, and suddenly remembered Zhao Pu who was originally recommended by Liu Ci, and he said: "After Liu Ci died in Yongxing Jiedu, he recommended Zhao Pu to the imperial court. Zhao Pu is resolute and resolute and has a calm temperament. It's up to the task. He requested the appointment of Zhao Pu as a military judge. ”

After Liu Ci's death, he once recommended Zhao Pu to himself, and now Fan Zhen also recommended Zhao Pu.

For Zhao Pu alone, he is not very clear. But the person recommended by Fan Zhen will not be wrong, so later Guo Rong issued an edict to let Zhao Pu serve as the military judge of Chuzhou City.

In fact, since Zhao Dezhao left the village that day, Zhao Pu also went to Chuzhou. Then after the edict was issued, Zhao Pu set off from the village outside Chuzhou City and went to report to Chuzhou City after receiving the order.

On April 6, it was noon in Chuzhou, and the Zhao family was having lunch at the moment.

After seven days of recuperation, Zhao Hongyin's body and bones have improved a lot, and Zhao Dezhao's ancestors and grandsons are all in the city, and they are in the house at this time.

Zhao Dezhao saw that Zhao Hongyin could eat, sleep, and be in good spirits, so he asked, "Grandpa, how does your body feel?" ”

"It's a lot better, and I'll be able to play again in a while." Zhao Hongyin replied.

Zhao Dezhao knew that Zhao Hongyin died this year in history, so he was still not at ease.

A quarter of an hour ago, Zhao Pu was in the east of Chuzhou, and yesterday Zhao Kuangyin also received an edict from Guo Rong, the son of heaven, and Zhao Pu served as the military judge of Chuzhou.

A quarter of an hour later, after Zhao Pufeng inquired about the residence of Zhao Kuangyin in Chuzhou City, and listened to the advice of the soldiers who accompanied the army, Zhao Kuangyin came out of the house, and then he saw the person in front of him, he was still wearing old clothes, but he was in good spirits.

Isn't that the man ......

When Zhao Pu appeared in front of Zhao Kuangyin, both of them were stunned.

Zhao Pu said: "General Zhao, we meet again." ”

Zhao Kuangyin smiled: "Yes! If there was no advice from Mr. that day, I am afraid that Qingliu Pass would not be able to be captured, and Chuzhou City would not be in the hands of Da Zhou. ”

"General Zhao praised it falsely, then Ping is the minister of the Great Zhou, and he must serve the Great Zhou!"

"Sir, don't you know you've eaten? It's better to go in together and have a meal. ”

"Thank you General Zhao, it's better to be respectful than to obey your fate."

After the two entered the house, Zhao Dezhao heard that someone was coming, so he raised his head and saw the person in front of him, Mr. Zeping, who he saw that night.

Zhao Dezhao looked surprised and said, "Why is Mr. Zeping here?" ”

Zhao Pu was also taken aback, but then put away his exclamation and said, "It turned out to be a little brother." We met again, this time at the behest of His Majesty, to succeed in Chuzhou as a military judge. ”

"Congratulations, Mr. Zeping."

"Little brother doesn't dare to be."

When Zhao Dezhao saw that he forgot to ask Zhao Pu if he had eaten, he felt very out of shape and said:

"Sir, please be seated! The gentleman dined with us. ”

……

At the dinner table, several people talked very happily, Zhao Hongyin and his son thought that Zhao Pu was unusual, and Zhao Dezhao naturally knew Zhao Pu's personality and talents, so he just listened to Zhao Pu and the three of them talking, and he didn't say anything at the moment.

On the same day, the following officials reported that a group of thieves with more than 100 people had been arrested in Chuzhou City recently, but Zhao Kuangyin said that all these people who were caught were beheaded for public display, and Zhao Pu, who was having dinner at the moment, heard about this, so he asked Zhao Kuangyin not to talk about these people's beheadings for the time being, maybe there were some innocent people among them.

And Zhao Kuangyin felt that when Zhao Pu said this, he should have considered it, so he temporarily imprisoned these bandits in prison, and then Zhao Pu said: "General Zhao, Zeping is the new military judge of Chuzhou, and this matter will be handed over to Zeping for trial." ”

Zhao Kuangyin said: "That's okay, after all, I'm not very good at this aspect, so I'll leave this matter to Mr. Zeping." ”

Zhao Dezhao knew that Zhao Pu's ability was good, and in the end, these bandits who were supposed to be sentenced to death were supposed to be sentenced to death, but after Zhao Pu decided to interrogate first and then sentence, the result was that seven or eight out of ten robbers survived.

And Zhao Dezhao is now in Chuzhou City, and Uncle Nine is already in the city, so have they seen the mark they left secretly.

That night, Zhao Dezhao was not asleep, he was walking in the courtyard, and suddenly someone sneaked into the mansion.

"Subordinates, see the young master!" The man in black arched his hand.

Zhao Dezhao has not received Lao Jiu's whereabouts recently, and he has been staying in the Chuzhou mansion, and he has been accompanying his grandfather for the past few days, he hurriedly asked: "Hurry up, are you all in Chuzhou City now?" Uncle Nine is okay. ’

"Thank you for your concern, it's all in Chuzhou City now."

"Where do you live now? I'll be there tomorrow. ”

"Among the gathering inns in Chuzhou, it is in the east of the city."

"You go down first, and we'll meet there tomorrow."

"Yes, the subordinates are retired!" With that, the man in black disappeared.

That night, Zhao Dezhao immediately flew a pigeon to pass the book and reported to Kaifeng.

The next day, I went to the gathering inn to discuss things with Lao Jiu and them.

Two days later, Yang Meng in Kaifeng received a letter from Yizi, who had been nervous before, worried that Yizi had made a mistake. Now that he is safe, in Chuzhou City, he is relieved.

Then the book flew over, and the flying pigeon went out of Kaifeng and flew to the direction of Chuzhou.

……

Not far from Shouzhou City, the Son of Heaven is stationed here.

On March 31, Guo Rong, the son of heaven, rejected Li Jing's letter of seeking peace, and he was full of spirit and was bound to take the land north of the Yangtze River.

However, Guo Rong's army suffered a lot under the city of Shouzhou, and he held Liu Renzhan several times, but this Shouzhou was still in the hands of the Tang army.

Guo Rong is said to have heard that Liu Renzhan is a man who is light on wealth and heavy on soldiers, serious in the art of war, extremely strict in governing the army, sharing weal and woe with soldiers, proficient in tactics, and in the Tang Kingdom, he is very highly valued by Li Jing. At the beginning, Liu Yanzhen did not listen to Liu Renzhan's advice, stretched the battle line, and was finally killed by General Zhou.

He has been trying to take Chuzhou City as well.

Liu Renzhan saw that the Zhou army was still attacking the city, so he responded here, swore to defend it to the death, and did not let the Zhou army get the slightest advantage.

Guo Rong's army has been outside Shouzhou City at the moment, but there is nothing to be done, and Shouzhou City is still immovable.

On April 4, Guo Rong sent Hou Zhang, the envoy of Wusheng Jiedu, to lead an army to attack Shouzhou Shuizhai and dug the northwest corner of the Shuizhai ditch, and all the water in the ditch was channeled into the Shuishui.

The army began to fight under the city of Shouzhou.

However, Shouzhou City is still like this......

In the past few days, because of the stalemate in Shouzhou City, Guo Rong, the son of heaven, has no patience, and from the intelligence collected by the scouts on the front line, he learned that Yangzhou City, the land of the Tang Kingdom, did not have any military garrison, and at this moment he suddenly felt that this matter might be a breakthrough.

So he summoned the soldiers and the ministers in the camp, and after discussion, sent Han Lingkun to attack Yangzhou City.

On April 5, Guo Rong, the Son of Heaven, sent Han Lingkun to lead his troops to attack Yangzhou City, and on the occasion of the siege, he issued an edict that Han Lingkun should not harm the lives of the local people.

And because of the mausoleum of the Tang royal family in Yangzhou, Guo Rong sent people to guard this mausoleum with the people of the Li family.

Han Lingkun's army set out from the city of Shouzhou and headed all the way east, heading towards Yangzhou City on the north bank of the Yangtze River.

……

At that time, in Jiangning Mansion, Li Jing received a report from the front that Emperor Zhou had rejected his request for peace, and at this moment, the Tang army had suffered repeated setbacks, and Li Jing was afraid that he would be forced to flee Jinling.

Li Jing had no choice but to send Zhong Mo, a bachelor of Hanlin and a waiter of the household department, and Li Deming, a waiter of the Ministry of Engineering and a bachelor of the Academy of Arts and Sciences, to go to the emperor of Zhou Jun.

Of course, there were 1,000 taels of imperial clothes, tea and medicine, 1,000 taels of gold, 5,000 taels of silverware, 2,000 horses of brocade, 500 head of military cattle, and 2,000 taels of wine sent by Li Jing.

In order to sue for peace with the Zhou army, hoping that the two sides would stop the army and make peace.

On April 8, Zhong Mo and Li Deming escorted the tribute to Zhou Tianzi, not far from the city of Shouzhou.
