After Zhao Dezhao went back that night, he secretly sat in his study, and he knew that since the Battle of Gaoping, Guo Rong began to have the idea of unifying China.

Messages from Changchun Tang's line newspapers from Chengdu and Kaifeng said:

At the beginning of last month, some people in Qinzhou rushed to Kaifeng Mansion and wrote to Emperor Guo Rong's expedition to the west. Since Guo Rong's later Tang Dynasty and Later Jin Dynasty, Wu, Shu, You, and not subordinate to the Central Plains Dynasty, the world can not be unified, and he ordered his close ministers to write "It is not easy to be a king and a minister" and "Open Border Policy". Guo Rong asked Wang Pu to offer advice.

In Later Shu, in the same month, after learning that the people of Qinzhou had fled to Kaifeng, Emperor Meng Chang of Shu sent Zhao Jizha to Qinzhou and Fengzhou to inspect the frontier. Qinzhou and Fengzhou still took advantage of Guo Rong's inability to go south and took the opportunity to occupy them.

Zhao Jizha Mao recommended himself and replaced Han Jixun, the envoy of the Xiongwu Festival who was originally stationed in the local area, and Wandi, the assassin of Fengzhou, and assumed the position of the top military general in the local area.

Ten days later, Meng Chang sent Wang Zhaoyuan of the Privy Council to the Liangzhou region to arrange troops.

Yang Meng told Zhao Dezhao a few days ago that the branch of Changchun Hall in Chengdu had been set up by him ten years ago.

Inside the opening

Wang Pu has been thinking a lot recently, and he can't come up with any good way, today he was tired on the royal street due to illness, but fortunately he was discovered by Zhao Dezhao, so he had the following.

Zhao Dezhao thought that he really bumped into evil today, but he didn't expect to meet Wang Pu, the author of "Pingbian Ce", as soon as he went out, he talked about it with reference to Wang Pu's strategy, and said it to Wang Pu, why did Wang Pu ask himself, didn't he know? His own answer contributed to this policy.

Zhao Dezhao couldn't cry or laugh, and after saying that, Guo Rong started the road to the south.

As Zhao Dezhao expected, on the same day, Wang Pu of Nabi Langzhong proposed to Guo Rong the proposal of "easy first and then difficult, first south and then north, and each one to break through", and determined the unification strategy of attacking Shu first, then conquering the Southern Tang Dynasty, destroying the Khitan, and finally destroying the Northern Han

On that day, at the court meeting, Guo Rong's case was piled up with thick notes, all of which were the strategies of the army, but none of them he could see. He saw the civil and military officials sitting on both sides, all frowning and thinking.

At this time, Wang Pu of Bibu Langzhong came out of the column and said, "Your Majesty, the minister has this music!" ”

Guo Rong said: "Wenbo, what are you playing?" ””

"Your Majesty, the minister has a plan to destroy his country!" Wang Pu replied without exaggeration.

Guo Rong heard Wang Pu's performance and couldn't wait to know, so he urged: "Oh?!" Wen Bo said to hear it. ”

Wang Pu replied to Guo Rong everything Zhao Dezhao said.

"Your Majesty, the ministers think that they have lost Wu, Shu, You, and are all out of the way, all of them are evil to the king's secret ministers, the arrogance of the soldiers, the pride of the people, the traitor in the party, and the martial arts. Once the people's will is returned, the will of heaven will obey. As for the way to conquer, it is advisable to first take the southern Tang and Jiangbei states, and then get the north of the Jiang, and the south of the Yangtze River is easy to take.

Take the south of the Yangtze River, then Lingnan and Bashu can be passed on. If the south is established, then Yandi must be attached to the wind, otherwise the troops will be moved to attack it, and it will be flattened. As for the Han in the northeast of Hebei, since the battle of Gaoping, he has exhausted his strength and frustration, and he is not worried about the border troubles, so he should be drawn later, and after the world is peaceful, he can wait for the opportunity to capture ...... in one fell swoop."

All in all, in this strategy, Wang Pu proposed to attack the Southern Tang Dynasty first, obtain the Southern Tang Jiangbei, and then further control the southern countries. In the future, we will take Houshu and Youzhou, and finally solve such a clear strategic idea of the Khitan border troubles. All the ministers in the court listened carefully, Wang Pu's strategy was really wonderful, and it could be regarded as a model for the ages!

Guo Rong was amazed at the moment when he heard it, so he adopted Wang Pu's strategy.

He asked the ministers who could go west to capture Qinzhou and Fengzhou, and asked: "Ministers, who do you think is up to the task of this expedition?" ”。

Since the death of Feng Dao in the first year of Xiande, Guo Rong appointed Wang Pu as the prime minister, and returned to Kaifeng after the battle of Gaoping to appoint Wang Pu as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites and the supervision of the history of the country.

At this moment, Wang Pu came out of the queue and said, "Your Majesty, the minister has a play!" ”

"Qi Wu, what is it?" Guo Rongdao.

"The minister recommended the Xuanhui Southern Yuan Envoy and the Zhen'an Jie Du Envoy Xiang Xun (Xiang Gong Xingmin, a native of Hanoi, Huaizhou. The first name training, avoiding the Zhou Gong Emperor Chai Zong's training), this expedition. Training can be an important task. Xiang Xun this person, meritorious service. During the Guangshun period, he moved to the imperial city envoy and sent out the Zhaoyi Tun army. When the state was merged, the battle of Hutingnan, killed more than 300 people, captured 100 people, won its handsome Wang Fan, Cao Haijin, and defeated his army in Huguan. After the expedition to Murong Yanchao, after the thief was pacified, he moved to Shaanzhou for inspection. Not a few, changed to the provincial envoy and knew Shaanxi. Yanzhou Jiedu made Gao Yunquan pawn, and the imperial court ordered him to know the state affairs, and Russia moved to the guest province. In this northern expedition, Gaoping's victory, with merit and righteousness, became the military festival, and the former military capital of the Hedong camp. Therefore, Xiang Xun can be a great task in the west. ”

"Quasi-play!" Guo Rong agreed with Prime Minister Wang Pu's suggestion, and then sent Fengxiang Jiedu envoy Wang Jing and Ke Province envoy Zan Jurun to follow the Xuanhui Southern Yuan envoy to Xun Xi.

The Great Army prepares to begin its expedition to the west.

……

Zhao Dezhao listened to his father Zhao Kuangyin talk about the expedition of the Zhou army during the day, so it was night, Zhao Dezhao went to the Chengbei Inn, all the way to think about this expedition, Wan Song was also among the expeditions, last time he went to sign up for the forbidden army, and now he has become a member of the forbidden army.

In the feudal era, the forbidden army was directly subordinate to the emperor and served as an army to protect the emperor or the palace and the capital. To put it bluntly, it's a bodyguard troop.

But during the period of the five generations of soldiers, the martial artist was a fragrant glutton, the forbidden army can be described as an elite, and his father Zhao Kuangyin was also invested in the army of Zhou Taizu back then, and later became an officer.

The forbidden army was the regular army of the Great Zhou, and the main branch was stationed in the capital Kaifeng and nearby, guarding the safety of the Beijing division in peacetime and going to the front line in wartime.

In the court of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the forbidden army was divided into two major systems: the front division of the palace and the division of guards.

Among them, there are two main forces in the front division of the palace: the Iron Cavalry Army (Horse Army) and the Crane Control Army (Infantry Army); As well as the inner hall straight, scattered command and other soldiers and horses.

The Guards Division has two main forces: Long Jie Army (Ma Army) and Hu Jie Army (Infantry Army); and other soldiers.

After Gaoping, the majesty of Guo Rong, the son of heaven, became more and more heavy, and the ministers all bowed their heads to their ears. Last year, in the first year of Xiande, Guo Rong began to carry out drastic reforms, first of all, he ordered the abolition of the forbidden army. Lay off those old soldiers. Young master soldiers, and those who specialize in empty salaries.

Then Zhang Bang recruited strong soldiers from the people to join the forbidden army, and at the same time ordered that each feudal town select its elite soldiers to join the forbidden army.

Wan Song was considering whether to join the forbidden army at that time, firstly, in order to make meritorious contributions and repay the kindness of upbringing; the second is to fulfill the wish of the righteous father and destroy the pseudo-Tang; Third, in the name of entering the forbidden army, Changchun Hall can be brought into Gyeonggi and other places.

Then last year, he secretly signed up to join the arms of the forbidden army, and this matter was later known by Zhao Dezhao and Yang Meng, who blamed him very much for his willfulness, but then slowly listened to his explanation.

Wan Song's plan is very good, Yang Meng agrees very much when he hears it, but Zhao Dezhao is a little unpredictable, if he is now a teenager, it would be fine, but now he is only six years old, although he exercises every day, but this body is too weak and fragile to withstand the toss.

Yang Meng and Wan Song also knew what Zhao Dezhao was thinking, but he was now the young master of Changchun Hall, and the so-called son of a daughter did not sit in the hall, because of his noble status, so he was a key object of protection. Zhao Dezhao was also very helpless.

When the car arrived at the Liangcheng Inn, Zhao Dezhao blurted out: "Father-in-law! Brother-in-law! You insist on your decision, why don't you send the other cousins? ”

"Zhao'er, don't worry about it, I'm already planning to let Song'er join the forbidden army. Song'er is very reliable in doing things, if it were someone else, the father-in-law would not know where to find such a suitable person. ”

"Father-in-law, there are no eyes on the battlefield, my brother-in-law is here, Zhao'er is worried about my brother-in-law's safety!"

"Zhao'er doesn't have to worry about me, I'm willing." Wan Song puffed up his chest and said, "Now that I have a body of martial arts, it is a great opportunity to make meritorious contributions, and my father-in-law and Zhao'er, one is the master of Changchun Hall, and the other is the young master of Changchun Hall, both of whom are noble people, and I have nothing to do now, and when I enter the forbidden army, I can fulfill my father-in-law's wish and repay my father-in-law's nurturing grace." Song'er was more than willing to do so. ”

"Song'er—" Yang Meng shouted, his red eyes seemed to be dripping blood, and a cloudy tear dripped down.

"Father-in-law, Zhao'er, you don't have to worry about my safety, I will protect myself well, this expedition, I will definitely complete my mission."

"Brother Righteousness!" Zhao Dezhao shouted, and then he took out a peace charm from his sleeve and gave it to Wan Song, "This is what Zhao'er asked for from Xiangguo Temple, and it is very effective." ”

"Thank you Zhao'er!" After Wan Song finished speaking, Zhao Dezhao put the peace charm around Wan Song's neck.

The three of them talked a lot in the room, and then at this time Lao Jiu came in and said: "Lord, young master, Gongzi (called Wan Song), the news just came from Chengdu that Emperor Shu ordered Zhao Jili to serve as Qinfeng Erzhou, and our men and horses are in Chengdu at this time, waiting for Gongzi to go south." When the time comes, if the army invades Chengdu, Gongzi can join the men and horses there. ”

"It is naturally best to be able to break into Chengdu, but Song'er's safety is the most important, and this plan will temporarily let Song'er stay in the forbidden army, achieve merit, and win the trust of the emperor." Yang Meng said.
