Chapter 3 The New Emperor's Conquest of Han Liao

[Today's second chapter is presented, and it is still a request for spit and collection! ] 】

An urgent military report came from the front line: the Left Army of the Northern Han Dynasty Striker was commanded to make Wuning Jiedu make Zhang Yuanhui set up an ambush, and he feinted to lure the enemy. As a result, Mu Lingjun was killed in an ambush, and thousands of soldiers were lost. Li Yun retreated to Luzhou, held the city with his fortification, and the Zhou army lost the first battle.

Now that Li Yun's army has been defeated, the Han lord has taken the opportunity to enter the Kou and attack the party. When the news reached Kaifeng, the capital of the Great Zhou Kingdom, the court of the Great Zhou Kingdom was suddenly in chaos, and all kinds of voices were endless, and the entire court was like a vegetable market.

Guo Rong on the dragon throne felt unprecedented pressure. The first emperor died, the situation was turbulent, the wind and rain changed, and he ascended the throne for only a few days, and the defeat of the Zhou army in the first battle had a bad impact on Guo Rong. In fact, Guo Rong knew that this war was a battle of life and death for both himself who had just ascended the throne and the turbulent Great Zhou State.

Guo Rong saw the ministers of His Royal Highness, they really had a lot of thoughts at this time, and he didn't know if he could rely on them. In addition, it suddenly rained heavily outside the hall, and the rain was heavy, overshadowing the ministers who were talking, Guo Rong had a lot of thoughts, listening to the heavy rain, and his heart was tangled.

Gambling has to lose and win, that's it, if you take your life to gamble, you naturally have to weigh it, but now that you have just ascended the throne, the throne has not been secured, the Han Kingdom will take advantage of the chaos to attack, it is a good time, but you are not a person who suffers, and you have a way out with an eagle strike.

victory, his throne will be secured, and the prestige of the country will also be greatly enhanced, which will play a powerful deterrent role for other countries that are watching openly and secretly; Defeated, their prestige will fall to the bottom, and even the throne is in danger, and their lives may also be in danger, and the surrounding jackals, tigers and leopards will covet the fat of the Great Zhou Kingdom, and the Great Zhou is like the fat on the chopping block, waiting to be slaughtered, and the loss of the Great Zhou land is inevitable. How can the country laid down by his father be handed over, the Great Zhou State finally stabilized the people of the Central Plains, and the people's desire is an opportunity to be revived.

The city of Kaifeng was occupied by the Khitan a few years ago, if the people in this city heard that the Khitan and the Han Kingdom went south, they must be panicked, the people's hearts are fluctuating, and the situation stabilized in the Great Zhou Kingdom within three years will be destroyed, and the people in Kaifeng City will suffer from the invasion of foreign enemies again, how can they watch the lives of the people be destroyed.

Guo Rong's fists were clenched, his fingernails were clasped into the flesh, blood flowed down from the dragon seat, looking at the ministers of the palace, Guo Rong, who had been pondering for a long time, suddenly showed a resolute gaze, and said to everyone confidently: "The Han family is small, why be afraid!" I want to drive the expedition in person, exterminate the bandits, and raise the prestige of my Great Zhou Dynasty! Ministers are ready to defend themselves against foreign enemies. "I thought in my heart, life or death, victory or defeat, and it was all in one fell swoop! However, he could not speak directly to the ministers in person.

After listening to Guo Rong's words, the ministers were noisy and eager, and then they wrote to oppose it.

Guo Rong wanted to drive the expedition in person, and at this moment, among the civil officials, there was a list of the imperial prince, Zhongshu Ling, and Prime Minister Feng Dao, Feng Dao's waist was straight, and he tried his best to admonish.

Guo Rong said: "In the past, Tang Taizong pacified the world, and he went out in person. ”

Feng Dao said: "Your Majesty can't be compared with Tang Taizong. ”

When Guo Rong heard this, although he was not very satisfied in his heart, he had just ascended the throne, so he naturally couldn't compare with Tang Taizong, but he was full of confidence and said: "The Han army is a rabble, if it encounters our army, it will be like Mount Tai crushing eggs." ”

Feng Dao still said: "Your Majesty is not Mount Tai. ”

Feng Dao and other ministers all thought that the new emperor had just ascended the throne, the people's hearts were not stable, and the coffin of the first emperor was still in Da Nei, if the emperor went out to fight at this time, the people's hearts would fluctuate, and it was not suitable to go to the expedition in person, so they should send capable generals to resist, but Feng Dao offended Guo Rong in his words, Guo Rong was furious and walked away.

But Guo Rong knew that if he could not defeat the Han Liao coalition army, then the national capital Kaifeng would fall, and the country would be in turmoil, and the entire Great Zhou would be catastrophic.

After repeated verbal battles with the ministers led by Prime Minister Feng Dao to no avail, Guo Rong ignored the opposition and set out from Kaifeng in Tokyo to command the forbidden army, and the commander of the forbidden army, Zhao Kuangyin, was also among the battles.

In March, Guo Rong wanted to personally conquer the Northern Han Dynasty, did not let Feng Dao accompany him, and ordered him to serve as the envoy of Emperor Taizu's mountain tomb, preside over Taizu's funeral, and let the minister preside over Kaifeng's affairs, waiting for his triumph.

In the Zhao Mansion in Kaifeng, when he learned that his child was about to go to the expedition, Zhao Hongyin hurriedly prepared his son for the expedition and prepared to see him off. Du's, He's, Zhao Kuangyi, Zhao Kuangmei, Yueniang and several others were very worried, and asked for warmth, Zhao Kuangyin comforted them that they were just going on an expedition, and they had experienced a hundred battles, and they would definitely come back safely, and then He gave his official a peace charm and let him wear it on his body at all times. When Zhao Kuangyin asked why Zhao Dezhao didn't speak, Zhao Dezhao replied: "Daddy, I will definitely return safely, I am a fairy, pinch my fingers, and I know that Daddy will definitely be promoted this time......" Zhao Dezhao was about to say that he was going to make money, so he kept silent.

Zhao Kuangyin heard his child's words, and was very happy, although this child talked nonsense, but he only had one son now, but this child was smart and clever, and he had the talent of Fan Litao and Zhu Gong, so he was relieved.

Zhao Dezhao knew that according to the development of history, the Zhou army was first in a state of disadvantage, and then it was the strategy of his father Zhao Kuangyin and Zhang Yongde, and the Great Zhou finally won. The battle of Gaoping in history, the early battle of the Zhou Dynasty was unfavorable, Guo Rong braved the arrow stone to the battlefield in person, and finally turned the tide of the war, the battle ended in the Zhou Dynasty, the Central Plains Dynasty has since turned from weak to strong, and his father has also shown his glorious side on this historical stage. Zhao Dezhao is just worried about whether he will intervene sideways and change history, but it is possible.

Thinking about my previous behavior, I don't know if I have fanned the tide of history, I am still too superficial and immature after all......

……

In the inn in the north of the city, the one-eyed Lao Jiu sat on the left side of Yang Meng, received a message from the flying pigeon, and hurriedly said to Yang Meng: "Lord, I received a line report from the eighth man of Jinyang, saying that the Han lord pulled troops from Jinyang in the first month, and now he has conquered several cities in the Zhou State and marched towards Kaifeng. “

Yang Meng listened to Lao Jiu's words, pondered for a long time, and said: "The pseudo-Tang Dynasty is insidious, and has repeatedly united with the Khitan to the south, that Xu Wei still claims to be the Li Tang royal family, and later changed to the surname Li, it is really shameless, and he thinks that he can fool the people, but now if the Zhou State is destroyed, the Tang State will be greatly strengthened, then you and I will be far away from the great cause of recovering the country, and the hatred of the country and the family will be hopeless for life!" Only when the Zhou State is here can the Tang State be destroyed, and even if the country cannot be restored, it can also avenge the national revenge and family hatred. I have observed that in the past three years, the strength of the Zhou State is thriving, and it still has a strength, if it can defeat the Han Liao army and go south, the strength of the Zhou State will naturally rise greatly. So we have to wait for the right time, and when necessary, we can add a handful of firewood and a fire. ”

The one-eyed Lao Jiu said: "What the Lord said is that the strength of Zhou Guo is still objective now, I don't know when to help?" ”

Yang Meng closed his eyes, and the past came to his mind again, the dust was like a cloud of smoke, as if it was yesterday, but he said in an instant: "Don't be in a hurry, the current situation, I think that Zhou Guo has a great chance of winning, this time I settled in Zhou, I saw the opportunity, and then I want to carry the general trend of the world, and when the time comes...... It's just that now the power of Changchun Hall is all over the country, and the talents are uneven, although I am the hall master of Changchun Hall, but if I am not careful, I will lose the chess pieces, but I don't know if I am a hundred years later, I don't know who can inherit my family business, I have no relatives under my knees, but Xin has a righteous son Song'er, but his qualifications, if he becomes a military general, it is more than enough, if he is a ruler's posture, it is not enough. Alas...... It's hard...... This kind of thing can't be rushed. ”

"Lord, in three days, Emperor Zhou's army will set off."

"Yes." Yang Meng nodded, and fell into deep thought again.

In late February, the weather was clear, the color was clear, the preliminary preparations were good, and the emperor drove the imperial army to command the forbidden army. The army was mighty, and the forbidden army Zhao Kuangyin set off from Kaifeng with Guo Rong's personal expedition.

The army went out of Beijing from the north city, the north wall had four city gates, and the main force of the vanguard took the Chenqiao gate. The people all stopped by the roadside to say goodbye to the army, and the army and their families were going out to fight, and the old and young of the family would of course be worried and worried, and they had to be congested on the side of the road to tear and part. Zhao Dezhao is also among them, watching his father set off with the emperor, Zhao Dezhao's heart is still quite complicated, all this is finally coming, it seems that this history can not be erased, this is joy or sorrow, if you can't change your fate, then you can still have your own world in the future.

Here, among the people's farewell procession, Yang Meng still maintained a posture of looking up at the city gate, his expression was unmoving, suddenly a strong wind blew, and a few strands of white hair were blown up by the wind, covering his forehead, revealing a desolate and profound, he was also among them, he saw that the army was solemn, the military discipline was strict, the emperor's guard of honor was quite clear and neat, and the people around him were all eating pot pulp, and the heart said that in just over three years, such soldiers could be trained, Guo Que'er was indeed a great emperor. Now that Guo Qi'er is gone, he doesn't know that his adopted son can inherit his legacy. Yang Mengshun looked at the army in the distance, and a faint smile flashed across the corners of his mouth.

Guo Rong's army left the national capital and went all the way north, and the people greeted each other on the way. On the way, Zhao Chao, the commander of the forbidden army to control Hedu, did not know much about current affairs, and sent people to continue to advise Guo Rong to dissuade him from conscription. Guo Rong was furious and threw Zhao Chao into prison and imprisoned him in Huaizhou.

As the saying goes, it is easy to regret the mountain, but it is difficult to shake my will! Guo Rong gritted his teeth, quenched it, and said, "Zhao Chao, who doesn't know current affairs!" This time, I will definitely step on the night of the mouse, and all Liu and Yelu will kneel at my feet. ”

The army continued to move forward, at this moment the Han lord did not know that the new emperor of the Zhou State dared to go out in person, the Han army saw that the city of Luzhou was strong, and it was difficult to capture it for a while, so it crossed Luzhou without attacking and took Kaifeng directly. Previously, the Zhaoyi Army in Luzhou made Li Yun fight a battle, and he was defeated. The Han lord thinks that Zhou ** is not strong, but also proud, this time the joint Khitan south, it is estimated that he is about to enter Kaifeng City, the dead Guo Que'er is about to be torn apart by me, the Han lord thinks, his heart is full of joy, triumphant, a Buddha ascends to heaven, think about the past three years, Guo Que'er is now a dead man, to deal with Guo Wei, he is willing to bow down, but to deal with his appearance, the Han lord is confident that he can not turn over his palm, now the two armies go south, I am afraid that he will not succeed, go south to Kaifeng, will be slaughtered, Wash away the shame.

In the Kaifeng Zhao Mansion, Zhao Dezhao looked at Gao Ping in the distance, and his heart was complicated.
