Chapter 41: Negotiate to take Huainan

"Zhongqing is flat," said Chai Rong and sat on the dragon chair.

The ministers shouted: "Emperor Xie." He stood up.

Every time he kneels and stands, Zhao Xu is annoyed by this set of etiquette.

After Chai Rong saw that the ministers were all standing in line, he ordered:

"Zhang Dejun, you come to announce the decree." Chai Rong immediately got to the point without a word of nonsense, and Zhang Dejun slowly unfolded a yellow silk, that is, the holy decree.

Zhao Xu thought about it again at this time, and he was an antique at that time. When did he still think about this thing.

Zhang Dejun read slowly: "Fengtian carrier, the emperor's edict said:

"For five generations, the martial arts have been cholera, the wars have continued, the Central Plains has been robbed, Qin Feng has become a rank, the four states have been occupied, and I have inherited the unification and am determined to recover.

Today, there are generals Wang Jingxiangxun and others, who fought bloodily, and there are also forbidden army Zhao Kuangyin and his son who led the army to the west, and their achievements were impressive.

"Tejia Feng Wang Jing is deployed for Jingzhen Qinzhou and the western edge of the border, and he also serves as the crown prince. The capital supervisor Xiang Xun was crowned Taibao, Zan Jurun was promoted to Qinzhou Assassin History, and the rest of the Fengxiang army had their own rewards. ”

Wang Jing immediately knelt on the ground and took the generals of the Fengxiang Army to write Chai Rong's imperial grace, vowing to repay the emperor with death.

Chai Rong encouraged Wang Jing and motioned for Zhang Dejun to continue reading, Zhang Dejun cleared his throat and continued:

"The father and son of the former forbidden army Zhao, who led the northwest and made outstanding achievements, specially promoted Zhao Kuangyin to the commander of the front division of the palace, and awarded the general Huaihua under the three products. Zhao Xu, the deputy marquis of Yu, was promoted to the marquis of Yu, the former commander of the palace, the strong general of the four grades, and the commander of his son Enyin Battalion. ”

It turned out that Zhao Kuangyin was the Marquis of Duyu and the deputy commander, and he was a general of Guide under the third grade, but now his actual position is promoted by one level, and the loose official is also promoted by one level.

Zhao Xu was originally the deputy Marquis of Duyu, from the general Xuanwei under the fourth grade, and now he has also been promoted by one level, becoming the Marquis of Duyu, a strong general under the fourth grade.

But what's even funnier is Enyin's son, how old is Zhao Xu, and he hasn't married yet, so he has Enyin.

Grace is given to future generations, and in recognition of the merits of certain officials, the grace of her descendants is specially left to show grace.

Zhao Xu still wondered, how old am I to have a son, and my son doesn't know where it is.

Now he kind of understands why there will be redundant officials and redundant personnel in the Song Dynasty in later generations, and any courtier who has made great contributions can have the opportunity to have a place of grace.

Is it strange that there are not many officials? The officials in the court were all shocked in their hearts:

"This father and son are really, both father and son are very young, but they are already in a high position, especially Zhao Xu, a fourteen-year-old boy, is actually the Marquis of Duyu, this is the position that many people dream of."

"It is undeniable that Chai Rong deliberately cultivated him, but he is also a great achievement, this time I heard that the recovery of the four states, the Qinzhou that he recovered alone, and the other three states, he also played a major role."

Therefore, although everyone is surprised by his age, they are more envious of his military exploits.

In the envy of everyone, the Zhao father and son knelt down to thank the court for their grace, unable to hide the joy in their hearts.

Chai Rong awarded Zhao Wei as the assassin of Yingzhou, which was regarded as a reward for his surrender and persuasion to surrender the city.

Since then, this Zhao Wei has been the history of the three states of Ru, Mi and Ze. After Hou Zhou was replaced, he entered Zhou again and was appointed as Zong Zhengqing.

In the early years of Qiande, he was the assassin of Qinzhou, and he was changed to the general of the left prison guard and sentenced to three divisions. Sexually manic and intolerant. But faithfulness is the same.

Since the fifth year of Qiande (967), the prime minister Zhao Pu has been impeached many times for privately violating the ban of the imperial court and buying timber from Qin and Long to build houses, which was rewarded by Taizu Zhao Kuangyin.

Later, he was impeached by the former prime minister Wang Pu, and Song Taizu deposed him as the Ruzhou Dental School, but it was still used later.

When Zhao Xu was in power, he was in an important position, and he was jealous and hateful, and he was honest and honest.

Even Wang Huan, who desperately resisted in Fengzhou and was later captured and surrendered, was also awarded the post of General of the Right Xiaowei, and Zhao Chongpu would rather die than surrender, starving to death.

In view of Zhao Chongpu's loyalty, Chai Rong ordered a thick burial and was posthumously awarded the title of Tai Lieutenant. After the news arrived, Meng Chang of Shu also posthumously crowned Zhao Chongpu as the Taishi, and his son Enbu was the secretary of the country.

After Chai Rong rewarded the meritorious courtiers, he met with the envoys of Hou Shu to sue for peace, and after some consultations, Chai Rong agreed to Hou Shu's request for peace.

However, Hou Shu had to agree that the four prefectures of Qin, Feng, Cheng, and Jie were the territory of the Great Zhou, and the two countries should demarcate their borders and not be harassed.

At the same time, Hou Shu undertook the military expenses of the Great Zhou Dynasty, 200,000 taels of silver, 20,000 taels of gold, and 100,000 stones of grain and grass.

Meng Chang is not stupid, there are so many things, you have to play them when you open your mouth, do you want me to give them? So he asked the envoy to continue to negotiate with the Zhou court.

Chai Rong originally wanted to take the opportunity to extort you, and besides, you asked for peace, and you bargained with me.

Chai Rong was reminded by Zhao Xu, Chai Rong ordered the troops on the front line to enter the situation of Houshu, and Wang Zhaoyuan's troops and Da Zhou were about to collapse.

Frightened, Meng Chang immediately accepted Chai Rong's suggestion, and quickly sent what Chai Rong needed to Da Zhou and declared himself a vassal to Zhou.

The army of the Great Zhou only withdrew from the territory of Shu, but it was not completely evacuated, and it has been monitoring the movements of Shu, and this situation has been until the Great Song Dynasty conquered and destroyed Shu.

At this time, in the backyard of the Zhao family, Zhao Hongyin's family ate and chatted together, saying that they were chatting, but they were chatting about national affairs.

Zhao Hongyin looks old, many, when he was young, he fought on the battlefield, and he had a lot of injuries on his body, and when he was old, he would suffer.

But he is still very satisfied, his son and grandson are now in high positions, why is he not satisfied?

The relationship between the emperor and their family is also extraordinary, at least their Zhao family will definitely be a famous family in the Great Zhou Dynasty for decades to come.

Whenever he thought of this, he smiled like a blooming chrysanthemum. At this time, he, Zhao Kuangyin, was discussing the next move of the imperial court, and Zhao Xu listened to him all the time beside him, but did not speak.

"I think the next step, my Da Zhou should attack Huainan." After listening to his grandfather and father talk for a long time, Zhao Xu suddenly expressed his opinion.

That's right, it was Zhao Xu who spoke, and before they could react, Zhao Xu said slowly;

"Your Majesty today, Shengming is far superior to other emperors after the fall of the Tang Dynasty, it can be described as a great talent, these years of conquest in the south and north, in order to unify the world, am I right?"

Zhao Hongyin, father and son, did not speak, but did not object, but Zhao Kuangyin nodded.

"The unification of the world must first solve its own problems, and we must first settle the inside before the outside, and our Great Zhou must first solve our own threats, and our Great Zhou has always been threatened by the attack from the north and the south.

The Battle of Gaoping Great Zhou has resolved the safety of the northern part of Great Zhou, and the four states of Qin and Feng have also been recovered, but the threat from the south still exists. So Huainan must be obtained. Zhao Xu said slowly.

Over there, Zhao Kuangyin and Zhao Kuangyi seemed to be pondering, Zhao Hongyin stroked his beard with one hand, and laughed:

"Xu'er can see this, it's really good, you deserve to be my Zhao family's son, but you are still young after all, and you don't see the problem thoroughly......"

Zhao Hongyin, as a soldier, is not too good at strategy, but he also has a strategic vision, and what Zhao Xu said he also understands reads;.

Zhao Xu knew that Zhao Hongyin would say this:

"Grandpa, I haven't finished talking yet, those things just now are just superficial things, and the most important thing is that we want Huainan's grain.

War depends not only on the army, but also on grain and grass, and the three armies have not moved grain and grass first, which can be seen the importance of grain and grass.

Huainan is the land of fish and rice, and the people of Yuhang even claim that Yuhang is prosperous and prosperous, and it is the heavenly palace on the ground, which shows that its wealth is extraordinary.

The 14 prefectures in Jiangbei that first attacked the Southern Tang Dynasty, and with Huainan, the national treasury could increase its income by 10 million taels every year, and only when the treasury was full could it be able to dominate the world. ”

After Zhao Xu finished speaking in one breath, Zhao Hongyin's father and son were already dumbfounded, this is a thirteen-year-old child, this is Zhao Xu, the Zhao Xu who didn't learn before.

Zhao Kuangyin's eyes were even more golden, because this was originally his original words, but he was said by his cheap son.

"Xu'er, who taught you this?" Zhao Kuangyin thought that someone was teaching him behind Xu'er's back, and that person was the real "military advisor".

Zhao Xu had long expected what his father was thinking: "Father is above, child, I have recently read "Historical Records" and "Sun Tzu's Art of War", combined with the situation of my Da Zhou, the child said it, please grandfather and father don't be surprised." ”

Zhao Xu said very modestly.

I heard that Zhao Hongyin came up with it by Zhao Xu himself, and his face was full of red light:

"Back then, Emperor Wu of Wei said that if you have a son, you should be a grandson, and now it seems that my grandson is not too much, hahaha, the ancestors of the Zhao family are blessed."

Mrs. Du and He next to her were also happy for their grandson and son.

The scene of this banquet echoed with Zhao Hongyin's laughter, happy on time, that was joy.

Zhao Kuangyin also looked at his son with great appreciation, what more could he ask for if he had a son like this?

Zhao Kuangyin was very happy, not only for the sake of having an outstanding son, but also for the opportunity to strengthen the strength of the Zhou State, so he jumped into the palace to see Chai Rong.
