Chapter 41 Meeting Zhao Pu and Chuzhou at night

(I went out today and hit my car.) Alas - it's too late to code words every day~ ask for collection! )

On March 25, the Zhou army took Chuzhou City here, and now the city of Chuzhou has been captured by the Zhou army, and the commander of the Tang army was captured by Zhao Kuangyin and sent to the Son of Heaven.

Guo Rong, the son of heaven, heard that Chuzhou City had been captured, and deliberately set up a simple congratulatory banquet in the army, but now that the army is marching and fighting, there is no wine.

After the celebration, the Son of Heaven ordered Ma Chongzuo, the general of Zuojin Wuwei, to serve as the governor of Chuzhou.

He also sent Dou Yi, a scholar from Hanlin, to Chuzhou to inspect the property in Chuzhou City.

On March 26, the city of Chuzhou was captured on the second day.

Zhao Dezhao, Zhao Xin, and Lao Jiu, who secretly followed the queen of the palace, were on the way south at the moment, because the battle ahead was urgent and frequent, so when they passed the customs, they were strictly investigated, and if they were mixed with the enemy's spies, they would be arrested immediately.

The soldier guarding the door said, "Who are you?" Why did you ride a carriage and horse, is it a spy of the Tang Kingdom? ”

and blocked the road of Zhao Dezhao's carriage and horses, Zhao Dezhao poked his head out and asked: "This Yanei, I am the family of Zhao Kuangyin in front of the palace, and this is the degree that proves my identity." ”

And Zhao Dezhao fortunately carried a sign that could prove his identity, which was given to him by Guo Rong when he was the king of Jin and the Yin of Kaifeng Mansion.

And when the guard saw the sign, he was sincerely frightened, and let them pass the pass at the moment.

Immediately, Zhao Dezhao and the others went all the way south, while the old nine behind them were secretly tracking, and they could only wait until the night to pass through the pass.

Fortunately, on the second day, Lao Jiu, the secret agents of Changchun Hall, were able to follow him, and Zhao Dezhao deliberately marked the road in order to let them find themselves better, so that Lao Jiu and they would not lose themselves.

Zhao Dezhao and the others went south along Feishui, passed through Xia Cai Town, and then crossed the river, bypassing Shouzhou City, specially selecting remote roads, and saw dead bodies everywhere on the road. Soon after, the group finally arrived at a small village five miles outside the city of Chuzhou, not far from Qingliuguan.

Not long ago, Qingliu Pass had been taken by Zhao Kuangyin, and Zhao Dezhao only learned the news from the mouths of the villagers, and soon after, Chuzhou City was also taken down by Zhao Kuangyin.

That night, Zhao Dezhao and his family stayed in this small village, and Lao Jiu and they followed them and also stayed in the villagers' homes.

After a few days and nights of travel, Zhao Dezhao was very bored in his heart, perhaps because he was not accustomed to the water and soil. He ran out of the door and went outside to relax.

The moonlight was very soft, as if there was no war here, and the silver-white moonlight was not terrifying and cold to see. Zhao Dezhao walked to the bottom of a big tree, this tree is probably very old, and several people can't hug it.

Zhao Dezhao then went to the bottom of the tree, then stretched his whole body, and slowly started tai chi. Whenever he was depressed, he would slowly start this boxing technique, and because he was very focused, he never saw anyone standing next to him.

It wasn't until Zhao Dezhao put away his boxing skills that he saw a person standing behind him, dressed in old clothes, but his expression seemed to be worried.

He turned his head, and then saw this person, but he was younger than before, Zhao Dezhao was very puzzled, he could see Zhao Pu in a village not far from Chuzhou City.

Zhao Pu is a person, Zhao Dezhao naturally knows him, but Zhao Dezhao can only pretend not to know him at the moment.

He said, "This gentleman, who are you?" ”

Hearing Zhao Dezhao calling him, Zhao Pu quickly came back to his senses and said: "I saw the little brother boxing just now, I felt that the little brother's boxing method contains many philosophies in the world. ”

Zhao Dezhao said: "Mr. Zeping is really a good vision, not bad. Mr. Zeping could see the essence of this boxing method, and the kid Dezhao was convinced. ”

Zhao Pu said at this moment: "Little brother, I hear that your accent seems to be from the Kaifeng area of Luoyang, I don't know why you are outside Chuzhou City?" ”

"Mr. Zeping has good ears, yes, the boy started from Kaifeng this time, and went all the way south to the front line to find his grandfather and father, and they are in the army at the moment."

"I don't know the grandfather and father of the little brother, do you know each other?"

"The boy's surname is Zhao Mingdezhao, his grandfather is Hongyin, and his father is Kuangyin." Zhao Dezhao introduced.

Zhao Pu exclaimed: "It turns out that you are the son of General Zhao!" ”

"How does Mr. Zeping know about his father?"

"General Zhao once came to Zeping's house yesterday, so he was very impressed."

"Oh? Mr. Zeping, I don't know where my father is at this time? ”

"General Zhao has already led the army to capture Chuzhou City yesterday, and I am afraid that he is in the city now."

"That's great, thank you, Mr. Zeping."

Zhao Dezhao learned from Zhao Pu about the whereabouts of his father Zhao Hongyin, and planned to leave for Chuzhou City tomorrow.

Early the next morning, March 27, the morning light was slightly dewed.

Zhao Dezhao, Zhao Xin and his entourage rushed to Chuzhou City.

Chuzhou is in the hands of the Zhou ** team at this time, several of them arrived at the city of Chuzhou, yesterday under the city wall just experienced the baptism of war, is carrying the dead body under the city wall, everywhere there are blood stains and bloody smell, you can see the cruelty of the war.

Immediately, Zhao Dezhao and his entourage got down from the carriage, and then walked straight to a sergeant and asked, "This Yanei, I don't know if General Zhao Kuangyin is in Chuzhou City, I will pay a visit." ”

As soon as the sergeant heard that he was looking for his general, he said, "General Zhao is indeed in the city, but what are you looking for him?" At this time, the general was going to the city with Dou Yi, a scholar from Hanlin, to count the goods. If you are looking for him, go to the government office in the city. ”

Zhao Dezhao thanked him: "Thank you." ”

Zhao Dezhao and the others went to the government, and along the way saw that the shops and people's homes were all closed, Zhao Dezhao shook his head, he knew that the city had just been captured, and the people in the city would suffer.

Originally, they were all the people of the Tang Kingdom, but now they have become the people of the Zhou Kingdom, but the war is still burning on them, which is really prosperous and the people are bitter; Death, the people suffer.

Zhao Dezhao and the others inquired and left, and now they want to see their father.

And in the palace, Zhao Kuangyin is in the warehouse with Dou Yi at the moment. Before, Zhao Kuangyin sent his cronies to take away the silk inside the treasure.

"General Zhao, the lower official wants to ask, according to the account books, how is there a lack of 100,000 yuan of property here, is it ......?"

"This ......" Zhao Kuangyin had nothing to say, because on the day of the capture of Chuzhou, the officers and soldiers in the army rushed up and robbed the property, so there was less. Because of the marching war, this kind of thing is not strange, so it is considered normal.

Dou Yi learned of this as soon as he entered Chuzhou City, he was very angry, and he said to Zhao Kuangyin: "You can take whatever you want when you first come to the city; Now Your Majesty wants to return it to the treasury, and if you don't have an edict, I can't give it to you anymore. ”

"This ......" Zhao Kuangyin thought about it like this, and he understood that Dou Yi is worthy of being Qingjie and upright, and the Feisi people cannot be banned.

After Dou Yi finished speaking, he still had a righteous face, and Zhao Kuangyin had no choice but to write to Guo Rong, the son of heaven.

Since then, Zhao Kuangyin has begun to treat Dou Yi well.

Zhao Kuangyin and Dou Yi were still taking stock of the liquidated property, and at this moment, they overheard a report from the sergeant outside the door, saying that someone wanted to see Zhao Kuangyin and General Zhao.

Zhao Kuangyin said: "Who wants to see me?" ”

The sergeant shook his head and said, "He said he was going to surprise you, and the general went to know that he was now at the gate of the mansion." ”

Surprise? Frightened. Zhao Kuangyin said to Dou Yi and went to the door.

Immediately, Zhao Kuangyin was stunned, the person in front of him was not his son. Surprised, he asked, "You and Zhao Xin, why did you come to Huainan?" ”

Zhao Dezhao made up an excuse and said, "I'm bored at home, so I'll take a look at the front line in person, and I'll see you." ”

Zhao Kuangyin was speechless: "Bored? If you don't stay at home, you want to run here, and it's child's play to march and fight. The front line is in danger, Zhao'er, if there is any disaster, what will you do at home? ”

Zhao Dezhao said: "Daddy, don't you think I'm good, because I believe in Zhao Xin, so I left the capital." ”

"You wait at the gate of the government for the time being, I will enter first, and I will count the treasury."

Zhao Dezhao asked, "By the way, Daddy, what about Grandfather?" ”

"He's still in Shouzhou City."

"Oh, Shouzhou. However, Shouzhou City has still not been attacked. ”

Here, Zhao Kuangyin's request was reported to Guo Rong, and the next day Guo Rong issued an edict to take out a part of the pension for military families.

This time, Zhao Hongyin also came to Chuzhou, and Guo Rong issued an edict to let Zhao Hongyin sacrifice the army.

Zhao Hongyin led people to Chuzhou, but when they came to Chuzhou, it was already night.

On the night of March 30, the surroundings were quiet, and Zhao Hongyin was outside Chuzhou City, at this time Zhao Kuangyin was patrolling the city tower, and Zhao Dezhao was also on the city tower.

At this time, Zhao Hongyin shouted towards the city tower: "I am Zhao Hongyin of the Zhou army, please open the city gate!" ”

But Zhao Kuangyin heard it, but said: "Dad, although you and I are father and son, but we are the courtiers of Da Zhou, I can't let you in at night, this is my Da Zhou's decree, children can't break the law." ”

Hearing Zhao Kuangyin say this, Zhao Hongyin really didn't ask to open the door, but praised his son, "Kuangyin has done a good job, he is worthy of being a descendant of the Zhao family and a loyal minister of the Great Zhou." ”

Zhao Dezhao saw his grandfather at this moment, and he said, "Grandpa, I'm Zhao'er!" ”

"Zhao'er, why did you come to Chuzhou? Why don't you stay in Kaifeng! ”

"Grandpa, it's a long story! Tonight, the three of us will accompany us under the castle tower. ”

"Okay, Zhao'er."

……

As soon as dawn, Zhao Kuangyin immediately opened the door and asked his father for guilt, but Zhao Hongyin was not angry but happy.

Zhao Hongyin's eyes were about to narrow into a line.

When he looked at Zhao Dezhao, although he had a stinky face on his face, he still blamed him in his words: "Zhao'er, you kid, I really don't know how many people will die in a war, how can you let grandpa and dad rest assured!" ”

"Grandpa, I was wrong." After Zhao Dezhao finished speaking, he saw his grandfather's arm, but Zhao Hongyin frowned, and his mouth also let out a muffled snort.

"Grandpa, what's wrong with you?"

"It's okay, I was shot by Lin Renzhao's people from the Tang Kingdom, and the injury hasn't healed yet, so ......"

"Let's go inside." With the support of Zhao Kuangyin, they entered Chuzhou City.

But that night, Zhao Hongyin began to have a high fever, according to the doctor, he was old and suffered from wind chills.
