Chapter 58: Chai Rong, I Call You Brother
Zhao Hongyin's death was a big blow to Zhao Xu, he had experienced the death of Lao Dao and her death in his previous life. (.)
They were the closest people to them at that time, and they came to this world to have a grandfather who loved them the most. Parents.
Now that his grandfather has died suddenly, Zhao Xu is of course very sad, and at the same time he is determined to get rid of Lin Renzhao.
Originally, it was just a cold, but it further caused an arrow wound, so the elderly Zhao Hongyin was not able to survive.
Zhao Xu originally thought that when he came to this world, he would change some things, but he didn't expect his grandfather to leave.
Grandpa's last wish when he died was to see Zhao Xu get married, but he couldn't see it.
This pain of losing a loved one, Zhao Xu has tasted it for the third time, which is a very bad taste.
Chai Rong heard that Zhao Hongyin had died, which was also a pity, so he issued an edict posthumously gifting Zhao Hongyin as the envoy and captain of the Wuqing Army.
At the same time, in order to commend Zhao Kuangyin's military exploits, worship him as the envoy of the **** festival. Zhao Xu's resignation was not sealed.
But he made a request to Chai Rong and asked Chai Rong to be the officiant for him, which is also for the wishes of his grandfather.
Chai Rong heard that this was Zhao Hongyin's last wish, and nodded and agreed.
Seeing the sky, Zhao Kuangyin sent envoys to send prisoners of war such as Huang Fuhui and Yao Feng to Zhou Shizong.
At this time, Huang Fuhui was almost dying, after all, Zhao Kuangyin's stick should not be underestimated.
Although after some treatment, Huang Fuhui was angry, so the old man was still seriously injured and bedridden.
Zhou Shizong also knew about this Huang Fuhui, a veteran, with great achievements, but he didn't say anything, so Chai Rong also went to meet this Huang Fuhui on purpose.
After seeing Zhou Shizong, when Huang Fuhui mentioned why he was defeated, he sighed and said:
"It's not that I'm disloyal to Nantang, it's that the gap between my soldiers and your army is too great. I have never seen such an opponent when I fought against the Liao army before. ”
At the same time, he also highly praised Zhao Kuangyin's bravery. Zhou Shizong released Huang Fuhui, and a few days later, Huang Fuhui died.
Both the Southern Tang Dynasty and the Later Zhou Dynasty strongly praised Huang Fuhui. Then the Zhou army won several battles.
The Zhou army here is overwhelmed, and the southern Tang and Jiangbei are constantly occupied, and Li Jingjunchen is a little scared, so he has the idea of seeking peace.
However, he was lucky, wanted to seek peace, and hoped that he could win a battle and then negotiate peace, so he did not really send an envoy to sue for peace this time.
Li Jing only symbolically sent Wang Zhilang, the general of Sizhou, to Xuzhou with his own handwritten letter to find out Chai Rong's tone.
The tooth general is the general who leads the tooth army, and the tooth army is the name of the personal soldier of the Tang Dynasty. The city where the main general of the tooth army lives is called the tooth city because of the tooth flag.
In the Tang Dynasty, the official office of the Jiedu envoy was called the envoy, and the Jiedu envoy specially organized an army to protect the tooth city and the envoy, called the Tooth Army.
The Yuya army held an important position in the army of the feudal town, so the rewards were extremely generous. They often inherit from father to son, have been in the army for generations, and their marriages are connected, forming an unruly and arrogant military group, and some of them are under their control.
When the tooth soldiers were a little unsatisfactory, they gathered to make trouble, abolished the commander, and had the same child's play.
According to the military system of the Five Dynasties period, five people were one captain, twenty people were chiefs, one hundred people were centurions, and five hundred people were small capitals. ()
1,000 people are the majority of the generals, 3,000 people are positive, partial generals, and 5,000 people are positive and partial generals.
This Wang Zhilang will also die a senior official with thousands of people, but he is Li Jing's most relied on cronies, so he was sent to deliver the letter.
Just when Wang Zhilang set off, Li Jing still hoped to win the battle in Jiang, so he asked Wang Zhilang not to act so fast.
Wang Zhilang really did this, and it was really similar to sightseeing along the way, stop-and-go, stop-and-go, and finally came to Xuzhou after more than half a month.
Originally, according to Li Jing's meaning, you Wang Zhilang just went to Xuzhou to find someone and handed the letter to Chai Rong, you can wait yourself, you can find out the truth of Zhou Jun.
Wang Zhilang's head was dizzy, and he immediately went in person, and he went to see Chai Rong in person.
"Your Majesty, General Wang Zhilang, the Sizhou general of the Southern Tang Dynasty, said that he was crazy and the Southern Tang Emperor ordered him to see His Majesty, do you see it or not?"
The soldier who reported asked worriedly.
"Wang Zhilang of the Southern Tang Dynasty, did he come alone, or did he come with a large group of people?" Chai Rong didn't say whether he could see it or not, this is how many people Wang Zhilang brought here.
"Your Majesty, he brought a few guards with him, and the other Taoist priests didn't have anything, but he was accompanied by local Tang officials in Xuzhou."
The soldier who was asked replied honestly.
Chai Rong also muttered in his heart:
"It seems that he didn't come privately, then Li Jing must have asked him to come, so what is he doing here?"
Chai Rong thought for a long time and didn't have a clue, so let him come in and take a look.
After a while, Wang Zhilang was led in, of course, he was the only one, and of course it was impossible for the others to see Chai Rong.
"The Emperor of the Southern Tang Dynasty drove Wang Zhilang to see the Emperor of Zhou." Wang Zhilang was not an official of the Zhou State, and the Southern Tang Dynasty was not a subject of the Zhou State, so this Wang Zhilang just bowed and saluted.
The guards around Chai Rong can't stand it, the so-called lord humiliates the ministers to death, you just bow your hand, don't you just look down on me Da Zhou?
The guard immediately shouted loudly:
"Bold, Wang Zhilang, why don't you kneel when you see our majesty?" Several guards in the tent looked at Wang Zhilang with sharp eyes.
Wang Zhilang is not a straw bag, otherwise it would be impossible to be a tooth general, even if he is valued by the emperor, the tooth army will not accept it.
"Xiaguan is not a subordinate official of the Zhou State, and the Xiaguan represents the emperor of my Tang State, so the Xiaguan does not have to kneel."
In fact, Wang Zhilang is also exaggerating, if he can represent Li Jing, he will definitely come here with the honor guard of Qincha, where can he come secretly like this.
Chai Rong also waved his hand, he didn't care, but he really wanted to know why he came here.
"General Wang, what are you doing here?"
"Emperor Qi of the Great Zhou, the petty official sent our Majesty's handwritten letter by our Majesty's edict." As he spoke, he took out a letter.
Zhang Dejun, who was beside Chai Rong, took the letter with a hunched body and handed it to Chai Rong respectfully, and Chai Rong did not doubt it.
opened it directly, only to see that it was still a beautiful small letter, Chai Rong was still secretly thinking, this Li Jing's calligraphy is still good.
Unfold the letter in your hand, and it begins:
"The Emperor of Tang greets the Emperor of Zhou." Chai Rong read the letter with a smile on his face, and he was in a good mood.
The meaning of the letter is, the emperor of the Great Zhou, let's stop fighting, I am willing to send gold and silver treasures every time, that is, I hope that our two countries can get along.
Isn't it good to value peace, why do you have to fight and kill? Isn't it just about money to fight wars for five generations!
Okay, don't beat me, I'll give you the money directly, isn't that okay, and I won't let you work hard.
I don't have to work hard to stop you, and the ministers below me don't have to bother me every day.
Hello and I'm good, if it really doesn't work, I'll call you brother, let's become a brotherly country, in this case, we won't have any career.
This Li Jing actually wants to serve Chai Rong's brother in order not to fight, which is also too funny, Li Jing is five years older than Chai Rong.
Actually calling himself a younger brother, isn't this a shame, Li Jing can do it, Chai Rong thought of the "child emperor" Shi Jingjiao, he looked down on this kind of person the most.
So Chai Rong didn't have any reply and sent Wang Zhilang away, he didn't think of retiring at all.
Where do I use the money Zhao you give, I want land, I want your land in the Southern Tang Dynasty, can you give it?
So I only believe in my own strength, and I will rest assured that I will occupy it with my own strength.
There is an emperor like you in the Southern Tang Dynasty, and the destruction of the Tang Kingdom is not far away, just give me some money and want to send me, what about you and me as Huazi?
You still call me brother, even if you call me uncle, I won't retreat, I won't reply to you, you slowly capture your city.
Li Jing didn't expect that he wanted to call Chai Rong a brother, but people didn't agree, he was really depressed, of course, he didn't know it yet.
