Chapter Twenty-Four: The Palace is Waiting and Thorn History

(I sent it late today, so I'm sorry to keep you waiting.) )

In Kaifeng City, Zhao Dezhao went to visit Yang Meng again today, Yang Meng's body was almost better than yesterday, and he could get out of bed and walk, but his body was still weak, and he was holding the table with his hand at this time.

"Father-in-law, I have here a plan that I wrote after I went back and thought about it last night, I don't know what my father-in-law thinks?" Zhao Dezhao took out a plan from his cuff and gave it to Yang Meng.

Yang Meng took a copy of the plan transcribed in Zhao Dezhao's hand, and he looked at it intently, examining every word very carefully, and his eyes stayed on the words on it.

This plan is clearly organized, Yang Meng remembered it without any effort, and he finally let out a sigh of emotion, saying: "Zhao'er's plan is more and more exquisite, and there are no loopholes at all. It's so clever that my father-in-law can't figure it out. ”

"That's it, but you have to rely on the power in the hands of your stepfather to operate, so you have a better chance of success."

"Zhao'er, how is this business plan of yours going?" Yang Meng asked, he didn't know anything about business, but if the business was well managed, it could help him do great things, so he still knew this truth.

"The father-in-law doesn't have to worry, the child has already sent his right-hand man, and I believe that the good news will be harvested soon." Zhao Dezhao said confidently, according to the time, the time that Bai Gucheng promised him to return to the capital was about the same, and Bai Gucheng still had the business ability, and the task he gave him was quite arduous.

"Zhao'er does things, don't worry! You just go to do your big thing, and your father-in-law can let someone take care of it. ”

"Father-in-law, by the way, here's a 'martial arts cheatbook' from Zhao'er, if the father-in-law is bored, he can use it to practice, and it will also have certain benefits for the body."

"Haha, Zhao'er, what martial arts secrets, Zhao'er don't want to be happy with his father-in-law, when his father-in-law sees Zhao'er, his illness will be more than half better." Yang Meng joked, and then opened the so-called "martial arts cheats" that Zhao Dezhao said, he wanted to see the content of this book.

In fact, the book that Zhao Dezhao gave to Yang Meng is the boxing book of Taijiquan, which was drawn by himself according to the tricks and styles learned by later generations, memorized in his heart, and then drawn.

"Father-in-law, this fist is Tai Chi, you learn it slowly, and Zhao'er will go first." Dezhao said goodbye to Yang Meng and went to take care of Guangwei Lou's affairs.

Yang Meng looked at this book, read it, and thought that it was Zhao'er's book, which must be extraordinary, so he concentrated on reading it, and then his face changed greatly, and he praised: "This book should not be underestimated!" ”

……

Over there, the army of the Zhou State marched in a hurry, day and night, and left Luoyang, Xijing.

More than five months of the lunar calendar, at the beginning of July of the Gregorian calendar, since the army left Luoyang, three days later, the Zhou army arrived at Chenqiaoyi (southeast of Fengqiu County, Xinxiang City, Henan Province, Chen Bridge was built in five dynasties, and there was already its village in the Later Jin Dynasty, according to legend, there was a small bridge in disrepair, and the surname Chen donated money to repair, so it was named Chen Qiao. After the Zhou Dynasty, set up a post station, named Chenqiao Station).

In the evening, Guo Rong saw colorful auspicious clouds rising in the sky, tied his horse and got down, his heart was joyful, and he asked Where is this?

The entourage replied: "Chen Qiao! Then he told me where it came from.

Guo Rong heard his subordinates say the origin of this Chen Bridge, it is rumored that in the Later Liang period, the yellow water flooded, and the bronze medal came out at the bottom of the thousand waves, which was engraved: "Jizhou real people, close your mouth and open the bow on the left and right, and your children and grandchildren will be thousands of years." "The bronze medal is out, and the people of the north and the south" are all connected with the word 'Hong', and they look forward to it.

Guo Rong then smiled, myths and legends are nothing more than that, then turned over and dismounted, followed by Zhang Yongde, he asked: "In this battle, the good and the bad in the army are uneven, and the general in front of the battle escaped from the battle and defected to the enemy camp. It's a pity that the victory was obtained, and the Han State would have this opportunity to survive again, while the Liao State was unscrupulous. Hug Yi (Zhang Yongde, the word Hug Yi), why do you think our army failed? ”

Zhang Yongde replied to Guo Rongdao: "Back to the official's house, the military generals are chaotic, which is a harm." Since the Tang Dynasty, turbulent times have occurred frequently, and the country has been unbearable and the people have suffered for several years. If this goes on for a long time, the country will be shaken and the country will not be protected. Think twice! The generals are chaotic in the country, and the country is also taboo! ”

Guo Rong said: "Don't I know what it's like? Now that the army will return to Kaifeng, I plan to reward the army for three days. Who do you think is brave in battle! He had long planned to reward the meritorious deeds and commend the soldiers who went north to fight against the Han Liao army and fought bloodily for the army. Since the end of the Tang Dynasty, the generals have supported the army and respected themselves, which is a major taboo for the country, and it is difficult to unify the world's major diseases.

"The official family is benevolent! The soldiers all received orders! As for the brave man in battle, this person must be Brother Yuen Long, that day Ba Gongyuan, the front of the palace is waiting for Zhao Kuangyin, and the last general led the left and right wings to protect the official family, and then rushed into the Han army camp and solved the crisis. The situation was critical that day, and Ma Renyu, who was straight in the inner hall, shot a shot and rushed regardless of his life. ”

Guo Rong nodded, expressing his agreement with Zhang Yongde's opinion, and said: "The second brother Yuen Long is good, he is a fierce general. But what position does Bao Yi think Zhao Kuangyin will give? ”

"It is advisable to wait in front of the palace!" Zhang Yongde said.

Guo Rong listened to Zhang Yongde's words, and was thinking at that time that after Zhang Yongde's war, he was careful to govern the army, look at the overall situation, measure the situation in a moment, and judge the time in an instant. As a general, Zhao Kuangyin is not afraid of death, and he has made miraculous achievements in danger.

These seemingly simple, but in fact esoteric governance strategies, from the mouth of a 36-year-old former general, are indeed commendable, and their talent and wisdom are evident.

As for the position of Du Yu Hou, since the late Tang Dynasty, the feudal town has taken the military attache of his cronies as Du Yu Hou and Yu Hou, and is the chief of law enforcement in the army. In the fifth generation, Yu Hou was a high-ranking officer who guarded the pro-army.

Under it, more than one minute is the main and deputy chief general of an army, with the titles of Yu Hou in front of the palace, Yu Hou in the army, Yu Hou in the box, etc., at this time, Zhao Kuangyin is the front of the palace, and the front division of the palace is equivalent to a military commission, under the jurisdiction of many armies. The front of the palace is obviously bigger than the inner hall.

When Guo Rong heard it, he thought it was good, he didn't refute it, but acquiesced to Zhang Yongde's suggestion, and then he thought of Zhao Kuangyin's son, so he laughed, last time he helped me solve a big siege, this time his father came to the rescue, which played a very important role in reversing the overall situation.

Guo Rong smiled, and then summoned the soldiers and summoned the generals to talk in the emperor's tent.

The barracks were erected from the ground, the drums were noisy, and a fire was lit, and the kings were happy. In the big tent in the army, at this moment, the civil and military are divided on both sides, and all the generals are waiting for the emperor's training.

then

This time he went north to fight, and Zhao Chao, the commander of the control crane, persuaded the official family to say the wrong thing before the war, and was relieved of military power and imprisoned in Huaizhou, and was also reinstated by the official at this moment.

continued, Guo Rong gathered the pro-army soldiers around him, treated the army with wine and meat, and rewarded them for their merits in the army.

"Ladies and gentlemen, now the army has successfully returned to Beijing, in March this year, Bagongyuan, our army reversed the trend of decline, and wiped out the main force of Liu Min Lao'er of the Han State in one fell swoop, and then broke the decline of the Han-Liao alliance that was not conducive to our army, and then besieged Jinyang, although it was not down, but all the generals were fighting bloodily for the Great Zhou, and the generals threw their heads and spilled their blood, in exchange for the peace of the north." Guo Rong looked at the soldiers on both sides and said proudly.

"Long live the official family, we will wait for the soldiers to fight to the end for the Great Zhou!" The soldiers are full of spirit and ambition.

The reward began, and all the soldiers were happy when they heard this canonization.

Then

The news that Guo Rong's army was in Chenqiaoyi was transmitted back to the capital through Chenqiaoyi at this moment.

Within half a day, the fast horse was transmitted back to Kaifeng, and in the imperial court, Zheng Renzhi and other officials who stayed behind received the emperor's report, discussed the agenda, and scheduled to invite the army back to Beijing tomorrow morning.

A day later, the emperor led the forbidden army to leave Chenqiaoyi and go straight to Tokyo.

Summer, dog days, scorching sun, no wind.

The earth was baked and looked hot, and so did people, impatient, Zhao Dezhao learned through the secret agents of Changchun Hall that his father Zhao Kuangyin was about to return to Kaifeng with the emperor's army.

Zhao Dezhao came out of the house, his whole face was red with heat, beads of sweat on the tip of his nose, and his body was full of sweat.

On the same day, the army entered Kaifeng, and Zhao Dezhao saw his father, whom he had not seen for several months.

After that, Zhao Kuangyin was named the former capital of the palace and the history of the Yanzhou assassin.

Two and a half days after Guo Rong's army returned to Beijing, Yang Ningshi and Bai Gucheng finally rushed back to Kaifeng from Luoyang, and the two went to Guangweilou along the way.
