This news was sent by Li Yun, and it also confirmed the correctness of the news that Zhao Xu inquired about at the beginning, and the defeat was caused by Li Yun's underestimation of the enemy. （）

As soon as Chai Rong finished rewarding Zhao Xu, he was praising Zhao Xu with Zhao Kuangyin, and received Li Yun's recital. After reading it, Chai Rong's face was gloomy.

Chai Rong was furious and slammed the piece to the ground:

"This Li Yun has betrayed my trust in him and handed over the northern frontier to him, how can he be so light on the enemy, let me lose my troops in the Great Zhou, and come to issue an order to remove Li Yun from ......"

"Your Majesty, take care of the dragon's body, please calm your anger." It was Prime Minister Feng Dao, who was known as an officialdom tumbler, who spoke.

When Chai Rong saw him, his anger was suppressed slightly, after all, Feng Dao was old, and Sejong also wanted to give him three points of thin noodles.

Chai Rong's face softened slightly: "Feng Xiang, do you have anything to say?" ”

"Your Majesty, not only can you not deal with Li Yun now, but you can appease him even more, at this time, there can be no more accidents in the northern frontier, in case, the old minister said that if Your Majesty disposes of Li Yun at this time, will he ......?"

Feng Dao's meaning is very simple, if he deals with the responsibility for Li Yun's defeat at this time, he will force Li Yun to rebel.

After all, Chai Rong was a wise monarch of a generation, and he quickly stabilized his mood, and did not mention anything about Li Yun's temporary defeat, but discussed with his ministers how to deal with the invasion of the Northern Han.

Zhao Xu did know about this battle of Gaoping. The prelude to this war was actually laid a long time ago.

At this time, Gao Huailiang, who was beside Zhao Xu, asked why the Northern Han Dynasty wanted to attack our Great Zhou, not to mention that the Northern Han was so weak, could it beat the Great Zhou?

Zhao Xu looked at his favorite little Wu Chang, and took the trouble to see him. （）

Later that year, Zhou Taizu Guo Wei killed Liu Chengyun in Songzhou, established himself as emperor, and established Hou Zhou.

The Hedong Jiedu of the Later Han Dynasty made Liu Chong receive the news that his son was killed, and there was no one in the Liu clan, so he said that my son could not be the emperor, so let me be the emperor.

So Liu Chong was enthroned as emperor in Jinyang, he did not change the name of the country, and still used the name of the Han Dynasty, that is, the Northern Han Dynasty in history.

Liu Chong became the emperor under the banner of avenging Emperor Yin of Han, and after becoming the emperor, he naturally wanted to avenge Emperor Yin, but the soldiers of the Later Zhou Dynasty were strong and strong, and he was not able to defeat the Later Zhou.

So this guy remembered Shi Jingjiao, the ancestor of the Later Jin Dynasty, surrendered his identity and went to the Khitan for help, and the Khitan also agreed.

In the first year of Guo Wei's reign, the combined forces of the Khitan and Northern Han besieged Jinzhou in the Later Zhou Dynasty, but they were strongly resisted by the Later Zhou army and civilians, and they were not able to take Jinzhou smoothly, but suffered heavy losses.

With the reinforcements of the Later Zhou approaching, the Khitan took the lead in withdrawing the army, and the Northern Han was almost completely annihilated by the reinforcements of the Later Zhou.

Hearing this, Gao Huailiang seemed to understand; "Dutou, so you say, the Northern Han Dynasty and us are feuds?"

Zhao Xu nodded, and continued to tell the reason for this war.

But in 954 AD, that is, the fourth year of Guangshun, Taizu died as the current emperor, and changed the Yuan Xiande.

When this news was known to the Northern Han, Liu Chong of the Northern Han Dynasty jumped up and down, feeling that the current lord was young and could be bullied, so he groveled and asked the Khitan to send troops.

It was at that time that I went deep into the Northern Han to find out the information, but unfortunately none of my brothers came back. When Zhao Xu said this, his nails sank into the flesh fiercely.

Whether in his previous life or in this life, Zhao Xu is a soldier in his bones, and he has always had the friendship of a soldier, although it was not this Zhao Xu at that time, but now he accepts Zhao Xu's body and accepts Zhao Xu's past.

Brother, don't worry, I will enter the Northern Han again to avenge you.

The Khitan also thought that there was an opportunity to take advantage of this time, so they sent the envoy of Wuding Jie Du and the political affairs order Yang Gon to lead more than 10,000 cavalry and the Northern Han Dynasty to join Jinyang, ready to avenge the defeat last time.

The emperor of the Later Han Dynasty also personally led a large army and besieged Jinzhou together with the Khitans.

And the Zhaoyi Army stationed in Jinju Jie Du Shi, the inspection of the school Taifu, Tongping Zhangshi Li Yun Li general. The siege of Jinju by General Lee did not attract the attention of General Lee.

General Li only sent his subordinate Mu Lingjun to lead 2,000 men and horses to meet the Northern Han army, and he led the main force to camp behind.

Facts have proved that Mu Lingjun is just a brave and unscrupulous horseman, and with his 2,000 men and horses, he defeated the army of the Northern Han Dynasty one after another.

Mu Lingjun didn't feel anything wrong, his subordinates reminded him that the embankment was fraudulent, he reprimanded him, commanded the troops to continue the pursuit, thinking that if he defeated the Northern Han Dynasty this time, even if the imperial court did not crown himself as a festival envoy, he would be a deputy festival envoy, right?

With a good feeling in his heart, he ordered his subordinates to pursue with all their might.

And his opponent was Zhang Yuanhui, the commander of the Northern Han Dynasty forwards, and the envoy of Wuning Jiedu. Zhang Yuanhui is a resourceful and brave general, otherwise he would not have achieved moderation.

On the one hand, he sent people to investigate Mu Lingjun's person, and on the other hand, he actively deployed troops.

After learning that Mu Lingjun was a great achievement, but he was a brave and unscrupulous person, and he only brought 2,000 men and horses, Zhang Yuanhui formulated a strategy for him.

That is, to pretend to be defeated and flee, lead the army of Hou Zhou to chase after him, and then lead him to the ambush circle he set up, and when the time comes, ten thousand arrows will be fired, even a bird will not want to escape.

Sure enough, Mu Lingjun, a big general, was ambushed, and when he noticed it, he saw arrows flying all over the sky, and Mu Lingjun looked like a thorny hedgehog.

With Mu Lingjun killed, the soldiers could not be annihilated, and Jinju was occupied. And Li Yun retreated to Luzhou, the seat of the Zhaoyi Army, and could only rely on high walls and thick courtyards to block the Han army. In desperation, he had to ask the court for help.

After Zhao Xu finished speaking, he looked at the people around him who were looking at him, it turned out that he had raised his voice unconsciously just now, and the soldiers and ministers around him were commenting on him.

At this time, Zhao Kuangyin hurriedly knelt in front of Chai Rong: "Please atone for the emperor's sins, the child Zhao Xu is in front of the car." ”

Chai Rong did smile slightly: "Kuang Yin, you are making a big fuss, Zhao Xu, come here." ”

Zhao Xu, who was in a daze, hurriedly knelt in front of Chai Rong: "Your Majesty, the boy is disrespectful in front of the king, please punish the minister." ”

Zhao Xu was just appointed as the deputy commander of the battalion, and he can already be called a minister, he has also seen this kind of situation in his previous life, and knows that this is a loss of honor in front of the king, and he honestly pleads guilty.

At that time, he thought in his heart that in the feudal era, it was a sin to speak loudly in front of the emperor.

"Zhao Xu, if you want to tell who taught you to say that, not only will I not punish you, but I will reward you for getting up and replying." Chai Rong sat on the dragon chair, completely devoid of the anger that he had just now known about Li Yun's defeat.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, those are speculated by the ministers, the ministers are guilty, and they are talking about the government in vain." Zhao Xu pretended to be sincerely frightened and knelt down again.

Chai Rong was interested: "Oh, you said it was your guess, how did you speculate, I want to hear it." ”

"When the minister was in the Zhaoyi Army, he once knew Mu Lingjun's character, and he was General Li's favorite general, I think this time he must have failed because of his great achievements, and the minister had gone deep into the hinterland of the Northern Han Dynasty, knowing that Zhang Yuanhui was resourceful and good at using ambushes, so the minister boldly guessed......"

"Haha" Chai Rong walked down from the throne and personally helped Zhao Xu up.

"What a Zhao Xu, at such a young age, he has such a mind, so you can follow me from now on, Kuang Yin, you have a good son, this envy."

"Your Majesty has praised it falsely, and Xu'er has not thanked the emperor for his grace." Zhao Kuangyin knelt down to thank Chai Rong, but his heart was happy.

His son can follow the emperor's side, that is a lot of blessings, although the reputation says grade, but the people around the emperor, do you still need to talk about grade.

After Chai Rong drove back to the palace, the people behind him congratulated him. Only Han Tong, the deputy commander of the Ma Army, grabbed Feng Dao and asked why His Majesty valued this son so much.

Feng Dao told him: "What Zhao Xu said is similar to what His Majesty said in the chapter, this is top secret, but he can guess it, but His Majesty can't help but pay attention to it." ”.
