Zhao Kuangyin hurriedly said: "Second brother is your brother, and so am I." The Zhou State was allied with the Ming State, and the Song State was able to. Why does the eldest brother favor the second brother? ”

Baili Wuji said: "The third brother is stubborn. This matter has nothing to do with brotherhood, only about the world. ”

Zhao Kuangyin said: "It is precisely because it is about the world that I would rather bear the infamy and replace Zhou." Does the eldest brother think that the Zhou State can prosper under the rule of a seven-year-old child? ”

Baili Wuji sighed, Zhao Kuangyin still didn't understand, this world must be together for a long time, and he didn't understand that Ming Guo wanted to win the urgency of Zhou Guo.

This qiē really has nothing to do with emotion, and the Ming State can only really devote itself to the Northern Expedition by including the Zhou State in the bag.

Baili Wuji said resolutely: "There are only two roads in front of you, descend or escape." ”

Zhao Kuangyin sneered when he heard this, and said, "Why didn't the eldest brother say that it was to descend or die?" ”

Baili Wuji's eyelids drooped, and he said, "I don't want to kill you, you and I will end up after all." ”

Zhao Kuangyin said angrily: "I have an army of more than 400,000, and the Ming army is only 200,000. Did the eldest brother ever think that the snipe and the clam competed with each other, and the fisherman profited. The northern Liao State and Zhu Bu are hoping to see you and my brother want to be disabled. ”

Baili Wuji still didn't raise his eyes, just stretched out a finger and shook it gently: "One, Xiang Xun and Zheng En have abandoned the darkness and turned to the light, and you only have a maximum of 350,000 people in your hands, and the military spirit is unstable, and the feudal towns have their own ghosts, and their combat power is self-evident; Second, the Liao State has been defeated by the Ming State, and now it is in civil strife, and for decades, it is difficult to climb to the sky if you want to be in trouble for the Central Plains again; Three. In front of the artillery of the Ming army, any fortified city will be a pile of ruins. ”

Baili Wuji used artillery to intimidate Zhao Kuangyin. He knew that Zhao Kuangyin was undoubtedly most worried about the Ming army's firearms, and what Zhao Kuangyin didn't know was that Baili Wuji was also most worried about the destructive power of artillery.

Baili Wuji is even willing to exchange a town festival with Zhao Kuangyin for the integrity of Kaifeng Mansion.

Zhao Kuangyin heard Baili Wuji's words, and knew in his heart that what he said was true, but today, he has been riding a tiger and has borne the name of ingratitude. didn't eat mutton but provoked a sao, Zhao Kuangyin couldn't accept this fact anyway.

Zhao Kuangyin would rather fight to the death than give up this throne that has not yet been covered.

Zhao Kuangyin shouted hoarsely: "Don't kill people too much." Could it be that the eldest brother really wants to kill me completely? Doesn't the eldest brother understand. The rabbit is in a hurry and bites? ”

Baili Wuji snorted coldly: "Look at it, my 200,000 new army is afraid of being bitten?" Besides, I'm afraid there are few generals in the capital who are willing to fight with the Ming army with you at this time, right? ”

On a cold day, Zhao Kuangyin's forehead began to drip sweat. He knew that what Baili Wuji said was true. He knew these generals too well, and he made up his mind one by one, and once he found out that the situation was not good, these people fled faster than rabbits. Those who can really live and die with him are probably those righteous brothers in the forbidden army.

But with only these tens of thousands of people, they want to fight hard with the 200,000 new army, and the results can be imagined.

Zhao Kuangyin was already desperate, he just stared at Baili Wuji in a daze. He really couldn't understand why Baili Wuji could tolerate Chai Rong's Zhou State. But he couldn't tolerate his Song Kingdom.

Seeing Zhao Kuangyin's expression, Baili Wuji knew that the heat was almost over. Baili Wuji is not afraid of Zhao Kuangyin's ruthlessness, in the face of absolute strength, a conspiracy is not enough to mention.

Baili Wuji is only so "arrogant", which is to shatter the only illusion in Zhao Kuangyin's heart, so that Zhao Kuangyin can accept his mention and achieve his strategic goals.

Baili Wuji said: "Third brother, I have a way out for you, but I don't know if you are willing to go." ”

Zhao Kuangyin sneered: "You want me to surrender? I'd rather fight to the death. ”

Baili Wuji said: "Surrender? No, I don't mean to make the third brother surrender. ”

Zhao Kuangyin was thrilled when he heard this, and hurriedly asked, "What does the eldest brother mean?" I'm listening. ”

Baili Wuji said: "I am willing to give the third brother a place to go, and the third brother can go to that place to be a king." ”

Zhao Kuangyin was stunned for a moment and asked, "I don't know what the eldest brother said?" ”

Baili Wuji asked people to take the map, pointed to the city of Luo and said, "This is where I said." ”

Zhao Kuangyin was shocked and said: "Tubo is powerful, how can you say that you can go?" ”

Baili Wuji said: "Third brother rest assured, I will naturally help you sweep the land of Tubo, when the time comes, you will be the king of Tubo canonized by the Ming court, you can display all your ambitions in this land twice as large as the Zhou State, I will never interfere, I don't know if the third brother is interested?" ”

Zhao Kuangyin thought for a long time, then suddenly raised his head and asked, "Will the eldest brother send the Ming army to garrison?" ”

Baili Wuji replied with a smile: "Never send a single soldier." ”

"Really?"

"You don't joke."

Zhao Kuangyin asked: "Big brother, aren't you afraid that when Tubo is strong, I will move eastward?" ”

Baili Wuji smiled: "Third brother, if there is really such a day, I will congratulate the third brother." ”

Zhao Kuangyin asked: "There are countless soldiers under my command in Bianjing City, I don't know how the eldest brother will deal with them?" ”

Baili Wuji heard Zhao Kuangyin ask like this, and his heart was relieved, it seems that Bianjing is interested in going to Tubo to be the king, if he really wants to be able to take Bianjing City without blood, that is victory, as long as Zhao Kuangyin is done, it will be a good start for the territory of Zhou to be included in the bag.

As for the land of Tibet, Baili Wuji originally wanted to leave an opponent for the Ming Kingdom, an opponent who was not light or heavy next to the couch, and would become the best whetstone for the continuous development of the Ming Kingdom.

Being born in sorrow and dying in peace is not necessarily a good thing to unify the whole world.

Perfection is not necessarily something to celebrate at some point.

Tubo is vast and sparsely populated, and population has always been its biggest drawback, so Baili Wuji is not afraid of Zhao Kuangyin making trouble according to it, and Zhao Kuangyin, a tiger, is entrenched in Tubo, which will be a pressure on the Ming government and the opposition.

Baili Wuji replied: "In the capital, all the generals under the command of the third brother belong to the third brother, and even after capturing some cities, the third brother can take them and their families to Tubo, and when the western expedition is made, the Ming State will fund the third brother 50,000 horses and 30 million catties of grain, which is enough for the third brother's 100,000 army for a year." ”

Zhao Kuangyin was a little moved, instead of fighting a fish in Bianjing and Baili Wuji, it was better to listen to what Baili Wuji said and go to Tubo to be a king of peace.

After Zhao Kuangyin thought about it, he said, "I need to discuss it with the brothers in the city, and I also ask the eldest brother to forgive this time." ”

Baili Wuji said: "Yes." It is limited to three days, and if there is no reply in three days, the Ming army will attack the city, and I hope that the third brother can seize the opportunity. ”

Zhao Kuangyin said helplessly: "I know." ”

After this meeting, there were more and more officials and soldiers of the former Zhou State who came to join him, and his position became higher and higher, and Zhao Kuangyin in Bianjing City did not seem to have any intention of stopping it.

Three days later, on the last day of Baili Wuji's regulations, Zhao Kuangyin led his henchmen and ministers out of the north gate of Bianjing City to offer the city to Baili Wuji and return to the ministers.

As a result, Zhao Kuangyin became the sixth of the five dynasties and the emperor who reigned the least, reigning for a total of fourteen days.

When Baili Wuji led the army into Bianjing, the first thing he did was to appease the subjects of the former Zhou State; The first decree is that all officials should retain their original positions; The first decree was that from then on, all the taxes of the people were based on the Ming Kingdom.

The next day, Baili Wuji issued an order to canonize Zhao Kuangyin as the envoy of the Western Regions, coerced 100,000 people, stationed in Weizhou, and sent troops to conquer Tibet from now on. As a result, Zhao Kuangyin and others were all driven out of the surroundings of Kaifeng Mansion.

In order to quickly stabilize the political situation, Baili Wuji deliberately set up the north and south courts as a temporary transition, retaining the pattern of the original Zhou court to slowly evolve.

Baili Wuji specially appointed Wang Pu as the official of the Northern Court, which was a temporary official position, but it was very powerful, even higher than Fan Zhen and other former prime ministers of the Zhou State, because Wang Pu could directly deal with a qiē matter in the territory of the original Zhou State on behalf of Baili Wuji, and there was no need to report to Baili Wuji.

Wang Pu is upright, loyal, resolute and good at arguing, and has a very unscrupulous temper.

Next year, the Northern Expedition will be made, and there are Xu Shiming, Sun Guangxian and others in Jinling Mansion, and Baili Wuji is not worried, but the territory of the original Zhou State that has just been swallowed by the whale has not had time to digest it, so he can only promote Wang Pu to guard it.

Leaving Wang Pu in the rear, he is talented and loyal, and Baili Wuji is very relieved.

It can also be proved that Baili Wuji did not despise the old ministers of the original Zhou State, showing a big mind and boldness.

Baili Wuji made a gracious decree and canonized Chai Zongxun as the king of Youzhou and Chai Zongrang as the king of Yunzhou. Baili Wuji's intention to canonize Chai Rong's two sons as Youyou and King Yun is to thank Chai Rong for the days he spent with him in Qianzhou, and also to comfort Chai Rong's feelings of loneliness.

However, the brothers of the Chai family are all distant princes, and they do not go to the territory to govern, and Baili Wuji concentrated all the Chai Rong family in the side hall of the palace of Jinling Mansion. It's not that Baili Wuji doesn't trust Chai Rong's family, it's just that he just included Zhou Guo in his bag, and in order to avoid being used by people with ill intentions, it is the safest thing to control them in Jinling Mansion.

Baili Wuji was awarded to the defense envoy of Xunling Prefecture at the same time; awarded Zheng Enxia Sui defense envoy; Wang Jingfengxiang defended the ...... and led his troops back to his original station on the same day.

In the spring of the tenth year of the liberation, the Ming Kingdom finally unified all the homelands of the Central Plains, and a new empire showed strong vitality.
