At this stage, Zhao Xu was also living comfortably, and he had a hot fight with Gao Guiying, and he usually went to the front of the palace to report, and his life was okay.

No, he was instructing his guard Liu Hongqing to practice splitting muscles and bones, Liu Hongqing's light skills were good, but his melee ability was a little worse.

It just so happened that Zhao Xu got a lone book in his previous life, but no matter how he practiced, he couldn't succeed.

He saw that Liu Hongqing's melee combat ability was not strong, so he wanted to give it a try, but he didn't expect that this guy would be able to practice it.

This made Zhao Xu quite jealous, although he couldn't practice, but he could guide Liu Hongqing to practice.

With thousands of martial arts precipitation in Huaxia, the theory is good, I saw him explaining here, and Liu Hongqing practicing quickly.

I saw Liu Hongqing's hand constantly twisting, wrapping, and wrapping around a puppet in front of him one by one, aiming at the acupuncture points on the puppet and hitting it non-stop.

Even Zhao Xu had to admire the accuracy of the acupoint, it seems that this family was born to eat this bowl of rice.

After the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, Zhao Xu set up an organization called Shadow, which was responsible for espionage intelligence and interrogation, and the leader of this organization was Liu Hongqing.

At that time, he was divided into muscles and bones with one hand, and the interrogation was invincible, and he was nicknamed "Hades King Liu." ”

As for the black-faced man Dong Xuanye, he was also idle at this time, and under Zhao Xu's orders, he was constantly using his body to pretend to be a big tree to exercise his physical strength.

Later, his Henglian Thirteen Taibao had reached the top level, and he was invulnerable, and later became the commander of the forbidden army.

This is all an afterthought, not to mention for the time being, when Zhao Xu is training them here, the court here can be lively.

All this is because a few people from other places, to be exact, representatives of the people, came to Bianjing to meet the Great Zhou Emperor Chai Rong.

Originally, how could such a small emperor have a kung fu sword, but the representatives of these peasants were not ordinary representatives.

It's not that they're famous or handsome, it's just that they're farmers from other countries.

This other country is Houshu, which is the country established by Meng Zhixiang, and the capital is in Chengdu. At the height of the day, the territory was about most of present-day Sichuan, southeastern Gansu, southern Shaanxi, and western Hubei.

Speaking of which, this Meng Zhixiang is also a capable person, the word Baoyin, a native of the southwest of Xingtai, Hebei today, and the founding emperor of Shu during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period.

Meng Zhixiang was originally the niece and son-in-law of Li Keyong, the king of Jin, who was very much used in the Later Tang Dynasty Li Cunqiao, and successively served as the envoy of Zhongmen, Ma Bujun Du Yuhou, Taiyuan Yin, and Beijing to stay behind, and later served as the envoy of Xichuan Jiedu.

Later, Li Cunqiao was replaced by Li Keyong's adopted son Li Siyuan, and after Li Siyuan and Tang Mingzong succeeded to the throne, Sichuan Jiedu made Meng Zhixiang have the idea of self-reliance according to Shu.

Prepare to learn Liu Bei's idea of occupying Shu and cutting Shu as king. He trained the armor, expanded the troops, added Yisheng, Dingyuan, Xiaorui, Yining, Feiyi and other armies, and ordered Li Renhan, Zhao Tingyin, Zhang Ye and other cronies to command respectively.

Ignoring the orders of the Later Tang Dynasty, the imperial court also took them to have a way, who let him have money in his hands, and Li Siyuan had no way.

Subsequently, Meng Zhixiang's approach became more and more excessive, and later Meng Zhixiang wanted to annex Dongchuan. The Later Tang Dynasty finally raised troops to fight, but was defeated by Meng Zhixiang, and the Later Tang general Dong Zhang was killed.

In 933, Meng Zhixiang annexed Dongchuan and occupied the land of the two rivers, and the imperial court had no choice but to push the boat down the river and seal him as the inspector and the commander of the Zhongshu Order, and the envoy of the east and west rivers in Jiannan. At the same time, he advanced to the king of Shu.

In 934 AD, Meng Zhixiang proclaimed himself emperor in Chengdu, changed the Yuan Mingde, and established Houshu. But this guy has a thin life, and he only served as the emperor for six months, and then he died.

Subsequently, his third son Meng Chang inherited the throne and respected Meng Zhixiang as the ancestor, and the temple name was Wenwu Shengde Yinglie Mingxiao Emperor.

In February 954, the first year of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Hou Shu Zuo Kuang Shengma Budu commanded the envoy and Baoning Jiedu envoy An Siqian arrogantly disobeyed the jurisdiction.

Yue Wei killed Zhang Ye, the minister of Houshu, and he was ineffective in fighting, and he spoke disrespectfully to Meng Chang, and was warned by Meng Chang.

But An Siqian did not repent, but became more and more arrogant, and at the same time, his three sons were domineering, bullying others, and robbing the people's daughters.

It has caused public resentment to boil and brought great disasters to the people. Meng Chang executed An Siqian and his three sons.

At the same time, the Xiongwu Festival made Han Jixun know that Qinzhou was shocked, but Houshu's taxes in Qinzhou and other places were really heavy, and Han Jixun was also tyrannical, and the people couldn't bear it.

As a result, some of the people of Qinzhou secretly fled to Bianjing, explaining the wishes of the people of Qinzhou, and asking Chai Rong to recover Qinzhou and other places in the Central Plains.

Chai Rong originally believed that since ancient times, only the Central Plains was the orthodoxy of the dynasty, and the Great Zhou occupied the hinterland of the Central Plains.

At will, he thinks that he is the orthodoxy of the world, and in time he must rule the world, which is also his long-standing wish.

Later generations called Chai Rong "the first Ming Jun of the five generations", which is also for a reason, he is a Ming Jun with a sense of unity.

Now the people of Qinzhou came to Bianjing and asked the Great Zhou to recover Qinzhou, which means that the people of Qinzhou also think that the Great Zhou is orthodox.

This made Chai Rong very happy and ordered to reward the people from Qinzhou. After all, people all over the world say that Taizu Guo Wei was taken from the hands of Emperor Yin of Han.

This name is not right, it makes Chai Rong feel uncomfortable, and even Guo Wei was worried about it before he died.

Therefore, Chai Rongcai later went to the south and the north to fight, and he went into battle in person, in order to prove to the world that his Great Zhou was the destiny of heaven.

Now the people from Qinzhou have made his eyes shine, and this is an opportunity for this ambitious emperor.

Originally, he wanted to unify the world, and this is an opportunity, but this matter is not decided by him alone.

But he has decided that no matter what, he must be determined to cut down Houshu, take back Qinzhou and other places, and greatly expand the territory of the Great Zhou.

Thinking about the past year, he has vigorously rectified the forbidden army and forbidden army, eliminated the old and weak, and at the same time limited the power of the envoys, and his military strength has increased greatly.

Economically, he vigorously rewarded farming and weaving, reduced taxes, and the domestic strength surged, and the treasury was full. At the same time, he restricted Buddhism and recovered the land of Buddhism.

Severe punishment was given to the recalcitrant Buddhists, so that there would be more people to cultivate, and there would be more land.

At the same time, he also received a large amount of Buddhist wealth, which was enough to withstand the national treasury, and the income of several years and the military expenses were also available.

In the past year, under Chai Rong's active governance, the country has been peaceful and peaceful, and his prestige has also reached its peak, which makes him very satisfied.

This is the best time to regain the Central Plains, no matter how difficult it is, he must do it.

Therefore, he convened many ministers to discuss the feasibility of recovering Qinzhou and other places.

Of course, many generals want to be in Qinzhou, on the one hand, they are loyal to Chai Rong, and on the other hand, they are more because of the fact that only the generals who have fought in the war can have merit and benefits.

Li Chongjin is even more jumpy, and he must play as a striker, and his proposal has been approved by many generals.

Zhao Kuangyin's father and son didn't say anything, quietly watching this controversy, the generals can be said to be the main battle, the main battle, and there are also those who do not advocate the use of soldiers.

That is, some Wenchen led by Li Gu and Fan Zhen did not advocate the use of troops against Hou Shu.

His reasoning is simple:

"Since ancient times, it has been difficult for Shu to go to the sky, Qinzhou and other places have been occupied by Hou Shu for so many years, and they have already been integrated into Hou Shu, and there is no need to take it back."

"Besides, the invasion of Qinzhou is tantamount to making enemies with Houshu, and our relationship with the surrounding countries is not good, once the war with Houshu starts, will the surrounding countries take the opportunity to attack us?"

"At the same time, the military expenditure on sending troops to the northwest will also be huge, so it is recommended not to send troops, and it is not too late to send troops in a few years."

Fan Zhen's words made many people in the court deeply agree, and even some people who were clamoring to send troops nodded yes.

Chai Rong saw that the following ministers disagreed, so he asked loudly:

"Does anyone else have a different opinion, let's hear it." As he spoke, he looked in the direction where Zhao Kuangyin's father and son were.

Chai Rong's meaning is obvious, it's time for you to come out and say it, Zhao Kuangyin also understood, and was about to go out, but Zhao Xu stopped his father and stood up by himself.

Zhao Xu came out to worship and said:

"Your Majesty, Weichen has something to say." Zhao Xu saluted respectfully.

Chai Rong saw that it was Zhao Xu, he still liked this Zhao Xu, smart and clever, but also extremely heroic.

The scene of him killing Zhang Yuanhui still remains in Chai Rong's mind, and he smiled slightly:

"It turned out to be Xiao Zhao Aiqing, flat body, what do you have to say."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Saying that, Zhao Xu shook from the ground. At the same time, he said:

"Before I give my opinion, I want to tell a story."

Chai Rong was stunned for a moment, remembering that when he was personally recruiting before, this kid also told a story, so he nodded.

Zhao Xu began to tell his story;

"Once upon a time, because a landlord died, the family was fighting for the family property, and a property and servants of the landlord in the field were all occupied by others."

Zhao Xu bowed his head and said.

"Later, the landlord's son revived the family business, but where did the servants who had been in that property flee back at this time, hoping that the new lord's family would send someone to take back the property, and the former servants are waiting for the new owner to go?"

The people around him seem to have understood, what is this guy going to talk about again, isn't this an analogy?

"Does Your Majesty know what this landlord's son did? He agreed, and the servant's request, led all the nurses to go out to receive the property. ”

At this time, Zhao Xu turned to Fan Zhen and the others: "At that time, the housekeeper said, is it really worth it to waste manpower, material and financial resources if it is so far away?" ”

Fan Zhen and the others were thinking in their hearts, what are you doing looking at us like this.

"Guess what the family said? He said that what I care about is not those properties, but those people, people's hearts are the most important, and they must not be lost, otherwise my end will come, and who will be willing to die for me? ”

Zhao Xu knelt down again:

"So I think a country is the same, Qinzhou comes to the people, this is the people's will, the people's will must not be lost, I think Your Majesty not only wants to recover Qinzhou, but even Fengzhou, Chengzhou, and Jiezhou must be recovered, these have been the land of the Central Plains since ancient times, and we are speechless to our ancestors if we don't take it back."

Zhao Xu's voice echoed in the hall.......
