Zhao Jiza's death was a shock to many people, and this Zhao Jizha was Meng Chang's favorite minister.

is also one of Meng Chang's favorite courtiers, even the most virtuous monarch also likes the flattery of his courtiers;.

What's more, Zhao Jiza, the best at flattery, is the villain who slaps horses? But Meng Chang killed him when he said he would kill him.

At this time, everyone remembered that this emperor of his own family was also a master who did not kill people, and what he did was still vivid.

Meng Chang ascended the throne at a young age and did not personally handle political affairs, in fact, it was not that he did not want to, but that he could not control the government.

The people who held the power of the court were the old ministers of Meng Zhixiang's time, and Meng Zhixiang was generous and quite conniving at them.

When Meng Zhixiang was alive, he could still suppress them, after all, they were all brought out by Meng Zhixiang.

After Meng Zhixiang's death, these arrogant soldiers and fierce generals became even more difficult to control, Meng Chang was young, and they didn't have any respect for Meng Chang.

They treated Meng Chang even more arrogantly and untamed, did not abide by the law and discipline system, built houses on a large scale, seized people's fertile land, and dug people's graves, and Li Renhan and Zhang Ye were especially arrogant.

Meng Chang was also helpless about this, but Meng Chang could pretend to be obedient, but secretly trained the dead.

Finally, a few months after Meng Chang's reign, he arrested Li Renhan and killed him, destroying his clan.

At that time, Li Zhao came from the local feudal town to visit Meng Chang, and this Jiedu envoy was breathed out of the same nostril as Li Renhan.

He didn't like Meng Chang, the young emperor, and deliberately came to the court with a cane in his hand, and claimed that he was sick and couldn't bow down.

But when he heard the news of Li Renhan's death, he immediately put down his crutches and fell to the ground, trembling with fright, and Meng Chang began to hold part of the power from then on.

In 946 A.D. (the ninth year of Guangzheng), Zhao Jiliang, who supported Meng Chang's accession to the throne, died, and Zhang Ye was not suppressed, so he became more authoritarian.

Zhang Ye is Li Renhan's nephew. When Li Renhan was killed, Zhang Yezheng was in charge of the forbidden army, Meng Chang was afraid that he would rebel, so he appointed him as prime minister, Zhang Ye concurrently served as the judge branch, set up a prison at home, and used the cruel criminal law to extort tyranny from the people of Houshu, and the people hated him very much.

In 948 A.D. (the 11th year of Guangzheng), Meng Chang and Kuang Sheng commanded An Siqian to design the arrest and execution of Zhang Ye.

Wang Chuhui and Zhao Tingyin successively dismissed the prime minister, and since then the old ministers have no reads;. Meng Chang only began to be pro-government and really grasped power.

Perhaps it was from that time that he also restrained his murderous spirit and was generous to others, and the minister slowly forgot about the emperor who came out of blood.

But now Meng Chang has killed a minister again, as if to give them a wake-up call, as if to say don't forget that I can also kill.

The leader of the Northern Route Army held the commander of the Shengkong Hedu and the envoy of the Boryeong Festival, Li Tinggui. Gao Yanyan, the commander of the Left Guard Shengbu Army, Lu Yanke, the envoy of Wuning Jiedu who served as Li Tinggui's deputy general, and Zhao Chongtao, the envoy of the provincial envoy of the supervising army, did not dare to slack off.

After they heard that Zhao Jizha had been beheaded, they rushed to Qinzhou without stopping, without any stops along the way.

Wang Jing here will also die without any stay, and they will continue to advance towards Qinzhou, and the morale of the Great Zhou is now booming, and the marching speed is very fast.

In June, the Houshu army, under the leadership of Li Tinggui, came to the mighty city of Qinzhou and formed a confrontation with the Zhou army.

Both of them strictly guarded their respective camps, without a trace of movement, which was the precursor to the coming storm.

Everyone knew that there would be a big battle next, probably the biggest battle since entering the Qin Dynasty, and the vanguard of the Great Zhou was already not far from Weiwu City.

At this time, the pioneer officer was the training officer of the army, Puzhou Thorn Shi Hu Li, who was Wang Jing's favorite and was appointed as the pioneer by Wang Jing this time.

He led his troops to the city of Mighty Warriors first, and stationed his troops ten miles away from the city of Mighty Warriors.

At the same time, he sent a large number of spies to spy on the situation in the mighty city, and when Li Tinggui of Houshu came, he strictly blocked the news.

So much so that Da Zhou only thought that there were only a small number of troops in Weiwu City, so Hu Li led the vanguard army alone.

Hu Li is also a brave and resourceful general, otherwise he would not stand out in the Fengxiang army and is highly used.

Anyone who is proud will inevitably be affected in his judgment, and this is the case with Hu Li.

Along the way, he led his vanguard army, opened mountains and built bridges when encountering water, and was invincible along the way.

Wang Jing was very satisfied with him, and even Chai Rong, who was far away in Bianjing, was also rewarded, and Hu Li could be described as proud.

He pondered how to get himself promoted when he returned to Bianjing this time, and he didn't dare to think about it, but the rest was still okay.

He smirked at the thought of this, and then his guards came in to report that the spies who had gone to spy on the information had returned.

A man dressed in black walked over, he was the captain of the army's spy intelligence team, his name was Zheng Lirui (friend cameo).

"Lord Qiyu, we have found out that there are only 3,000 men and horses in the city at this time, and our brothers have killed the soldiers guarding the city gate and controlled the city gate."

Zheng Lirui, who spoke, was dressed in black all over his body, only his eyes were still exposed, if it weren't for his familiar voice, Hu Li wouldn't be sure if he was Zheng Lirui.

"Captain Zheng, are you sure you have found out clearly, there are only 3,000 people, and you still control the city gate?"

Hu Li couldn't believe it, and deliberately confirmed it.

Then Zheng Lirui patted his chest and promised:

"Master Hu, don't you still believe me and other brothers? Now let your lordship immediately lead your army into the city, and when the day dawns, the brothers will be discovered. ”

Zheng Lirui glanced at Hu Li and continued:

"Your Excellency is a good opportunity this time, if your Excellency takes the opportunity to win the Mighty City this time, the credit is not small, not to mention our Wang Jieshuai, will reward you heavily, even Your Majesty will have a rich reward, so your Excellency must seize the opportunity."

Zheng Lirui threw a huge bait again.

Hu Li was also bowing his head and pondering:

"This Zheng Lirui has followed him since he was a capital leader, and it has been many years now, and every time it is the spies he leads to give him accurate information."

"And I have never missed it, so I have been on the rise for so many years, and Zheng Lirui has contributed a lot."

"This time, if it is really as he said, his five thousand people can easily take the mighty city, it will be the first big city since entering Qinzhou, and the credit will be all his own."

Thinking of this, Hu Li's eyes flashed with **, and he didn't blame him, who can resist this kind of low-hanging fruit.

After figuring out this, Hu Li immediately called over to the heralds, ordering the whole army to pull out the camp, not to light torches, and to take the mighty city directly.

Zheng Lirui looked at the corner of Hu Li's mouth with an imperceptible sneer after giving the order, Hu Li was still fantasizing about his dream of being a high-ranking official, so he would pay attention to these.

After Hu Li's order went down, the entire vanguard battalion moved, and the battalion of more than 5,000 people immediately prepared for departure. Hu Li also specially prepared a short speech:

"Brothers, our brothers have found out that there are only 3,000 old and weak soldiers in the mighty city ahead, and we can take us in one fell swoop. As long as you make meritorious achievements, you can also get rewards and promotions from above. Taking advantage of the fact that the main force of the Shu army has not yet arrived, let's hurry up and make some military achievements first! ”

"Besides, if you have made meritorious contributions and promoted official positions, what gold and silver treasures you have, you don't have a beautiful wife and concubine."

Hu Li's incendiary speech really worked, and all the soldiers' eyes lit up.

The soldiers, with their dreams of promotion, immediately quickened their march and quickly advanced towards the mighty city.

Soon came to the mighty city, Hu Li looked at this tall city, full of pride, this city is about to be beaten down by me.

Zheng Lirui immediately walked out of the star team, came to the city gate, and knocked lightly on the city gate, he knocked on the city gate very regularly, three long and two short.

It seemed that it should have been a code they had negotiated, and sure enough, it didn't take long for the city gate to slowly open.

A few people came out from the face and saluted Zheng Lirui, Hu Li estimated that this was a member of their spy team.

Zheng Lirui beckoned to him, which means that there is no problem, my lord, let's enter the city quickly.

Hu Li didn't have any doubts, he actually waved his hand to let the soldier enter the city, and he didn't let a few people in first!

Carried away by victory, he would have thought so much, he was in a hurry to occupy the mighty city.

Soon the 5,000-strong army all entered the city, and this time he also broke his previous style, without any reserve force from Liu Xi.

After they all entered the city, he found a trace of strangeness, although the intelligence said that there were only three thousand old, weak, sick and disabled here, but the sound of his own entry into the city was not small, how could there be no one.

It's not good, it's a trick. Hu Li seems to have smelled the conspiracy of Wei Dong

"There is an ambush and retreat"

His shout resounded through the night sky, but his horse's head had not yet turned, the city gate had been closed, and many Houshu soldiers quickly emerged around him.

Looking at their dress, where are the old, weak, sick and disabled, they are clearly elite divisions of a hundred battles, because the murderous aura emanating from them is overwhelming.

The leader of the Shu army was the leader of the Northern Route Army, the commander of the Shengkong Hedu, and Li Tinggui, the envoy of the Baoning Festival.

He was dressed in shining armor, which glittered in the light of torches, and at the same time his heart could not contain his joy:

"It's really hard to find a place to step on the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get it, and the generals of the Great Zhou Dynasty are so stupid that they fell into an ambush, and they should make their own merits.

Lee Jeong-kyu happily stroked his beard with his hands, although the battle had not yet begun, but he was confident.

His own tens of thousands of horses are not the opponents of the three of them, these Zhou Jun are all turtles in the urn, boiled ducks.

Your own men should be able to defeat or even annihilate them with ease. Besides, a few days ago, Shu had just experienced the defeat of being connected to the cattle fort and other Bazhai.

Now the morale in the country is low, otherwise His Majesty would not have killed Zhao Jiza, a favored minister.

That is to say, now, the country needs a victory to boost morale, and His Majesty Meng Chang needs a victory even more.

If I win this time, and then report the results of this battle, perhaps to exaggerate it appropriately, Your Majesty will definitely be happy to add an official to me and look at it differently.

For the temptation of high-ranking officials, no one is an exception, and it is normal for Li Tinggui to die as mortals.

Thinking of this, he ordered to surround these Zhou troops, and he personally moved forward, persuading him to surrender if he could, and killing him if he couldn't.
