On April 17th, the news of Li Yun's anti-Song Dynasty reached Kaifeng, and on the 19th, Shi Shouxin and Gao Huaide's front army were quickly dispatched, and Zhao Kuangyin ordered: Don't let Li Yun go down to Taihang Mountain, and march quickly to block the pass! Ordered the third division to make Zhang Mei raise military rations. Promote Huaizhou as a group training, and take Huaizhou Thorn Shi Ma Lingcong as a group training envoy to prevent Huaizhou from losing again after Zezhou is lost. On May 2, Murong Yanji and Wang Quanbin led their troops to meet Shi and Gao from the East Road. On the 3rd, Guo Jin was ordered to be the defense envoy of Zhaozhou and the patrol of Xishan to guard against the Northern Han Dynasty.

And Liu Chengjun, the emperor of the Northern Han Dynasty, also came out of Taiyuan to fight this big war. But himself, Li Yun, and Zhao Kuangyin, this is one of the three missing. Liu Chengjun immediately thought of his old partner Liao Guo, let him come and make up for it, right? But Li Yun refused, let's not play mahjong this time, change to the landlord, three people are enough. In Taipingyi, the moment Li Yun saw Liu Chengjun's "Northern Han Army", I wonder if he was aware of the prospect of his rebellion? There are only a few thousand, and the guards are still weak. But the emperors are here, and no matter how few soldiers and horses there are, they are still emperors, and they can't take the village chief as a cadre. Li Yun reluctantly went to greet him. But this meeting brought the alliance to the brink of existing.

First of all, Li Yun came up to show his loyalty to the Zhou Dynasty and the first emperor, but Liu Chengjun was silent. Everyone knows what the relationship between Hou Zhou and the Northern Han Dynasty, Guo Wei and Liu Chong is. Liu Chengjun was displeased, but he didn't have a good seizure. At present, I want to take advantage of this person, so I have to endure my dissatisfaction and say something substantial-I want to give Aiqing three hundred horses, a title of King Xiping, and: a big living person.

Liu Chengjun sent a prison soldier named Lu Zan to Li Yun. How can you say that your Li Jiajun is all my Han's soldiers, and it is also appropriate to send a prison guard to take care of it. Li Yun, the king of Xiping, couldn't wait to slap himself in the mouth. After the last end, he couldn't bear it anymore, leaving his eldest son Li Shoujie to guard Luzhou, leading 30,000 soldiers and horses, bringing 300 horses sent by Lu Zan and the Northern Han Dynasty, and coming south to Zezhou.

At this time, the Great Song Dynasty was not only turbulent in the north and south borders, but even the undercurrent of rebellion lurked in the capital. Zhao Kuangyin never imagined that danger would suddenly happen to him.

At that time, Zhao Kuangyin was sitting on the imperial chariot and slowly marched on the Daxi Bridge in Kaifeng City. A cold arrow suddenly fired. The arrow missed, but the scene was chaotic. No one knows where this arrow came from, let alone whether there is a second arrow. At this time, I saw Zhao Kuangyin slowly standing up in the imperial chariot, looking at the direction of the arrow and sneering, he suddenly opened his shirt and shouted, "Teach him to shoot, teach him to shoot" Although Zhao Kuangyin's body was not hurt in the slightest, the emperor's psychology was hit hard. It seems that there are not only those who oppose him, but they are all around him. What to do? Will you continue to be lenient and ignore it, or will you immediately search the whole city and start killing? The Emperor was silent for a long time, then sat down slowly, as if nothing had happened.

But I think this incident should have contributed to Zhao Kuangyin's determination to pro-conquest. I can't help it, I can do my own thing. Only the royal driver will fight in person to put down the rebellion as quickly as possible! The year 960 was the busiest year for Song Taizu. He is not like Chai Rong, who must fight in person every battle. In his 16-year career as emperor, he only went on three expeditions in person. But in the year 960, he had to personally conquer twice to quell a rebellion in the north and south.

On May 19, the first year of Jianlong (960), Wu Tingzuo was ordered to stay in Tokyo, Zhao Guangyi was ordered to inspect the capital of Ouchi, and Han Lingkun was ordered to lead troops to Tunheyang. On the 21st, the sun rose in Daliang City and embarked on the road of pro-conquest and counterinsurgency. Before leaving, he explained to Zhao Guangyi, "Yes, I win, needless to say." If it is unfavorable, then make Zhao Pu divide his troops to guard Heyang, don't be a family" carefully analyzed, for what is Zhao Pu is not someone else? Because Zhao Kuangyin himself has decided to fight to the death with Li Yun, if he doesn't win, he will die! And he knows very well that his family is too tender. Even Zhao Guangyi, the 22-year-old and eldest, is difficult to pick. If you really want to get to that point, you have to rely on the 39-year-old Zhao Pu to support the crisis! In this way, Zhao Kuangyin was desperate and went straight to the majestic and dangerous Taihang Mountain!

On the 24th, the army came to Xingyang. Luoyang stayed behind to see Zhao Kuangyin in the arch: "Your Majesty, hurry up and cross the river." Taking advantage of the fact that Li Yun's army was not assembled and attacked, it will be successful in one fell swoop" Zhao Pu also said, "Li Yun will definitely think that the country will be newly built, and the emperor will not personally conquer it." If you do it day and night, you can't attack it well, but you can overcome it in a battle" I can't help but think of Chai Rong's attack on the Northern Han Dynasty back then, and the ministers were mostly dissuaded. And when it came to Zhao Kuangyin, everyone said go ahead. As soon as you go, Emperor, you will win the battle. Zhao Pu may be loyal. And Xiang Gong and Wu Tingzuo, the two former ministers of the former dynasty, do they want to try the martial arts of the new emperor and see if the people who sit on the throne still have the courage when they were generals before?

Shi Shouxin and Gao Huaide's forbidden army were unrelenting to Li Yun. On May 5, they first defeated Li Yun's vanguard in Changping, beheaded more than 3,000 enemies, and pulled out their assembly village. On the 29th, he broke the 30,000 people who went south to break Li Yun's southward movement in Zezhou. Lu Zan was killed, and Li Yun saw that the situation was not good, so he fled into the city of Zezhou and refused to hold on to the city. We didn't have a chance to see if the Dan Jue gun was about to be fast, this man had a very sharp leg and feet, and he had already stolen an empty city and fled.

In this way, outside the city of Zezhou on June 1, Zhao Kuangyin's pro-conquest army who had crossed the Taihang Mountain was ushered in. Song Taizu didn't say a word, and besieged day and night for more than 10 days, but he couldn't attack it. Time began to be unfavorable to Zhao Kuangyin. Envoys from all over the country, especially Li Chongjin in Yangzhou in the south, are staring at Zezhou City. And Zhao Kuangyin's chips are all pressed on Li Yun, and the rest of the places are empty. In other words, Li Yun is now going to drag Zhao Kuangyin to hell together. The situation requires that even if Song Taizu himself bites it with his teeth, he must immediately gnaw through the city wall of Zezhou!

Ma Quanyi stood up. led a group of death squads to finally break through the city of Zezhou on June 13 under the condition of "arrows raining down, flying arrows through the arms, and Quanyi pulled out the arrows to enter the battle, and the emperor led the guards to follow". Song Taizu was greeted by a raging fire. Li Yun announced his disagreement with the Song Empire with his death! There is a special biography in the history of the Song Dynasty "The Biography of Wednesday Chen", Li Yun, you repaid Zhou Taizu's kindness with death, and practiced the brotherhood with Zhou Shizong. You are the second Zhou minister to be martyred after Han Tong! General Li, who would rather eat Zhou Su than Song Lu, go all the way! Slow down on the Huangquan Road, and we'll let a third person come down to accompany you immediately. Don't you often say that there is your brother in the forbidden army? This person is a person in the forbidden army, and you have the same surname: the fate of Li Chongjin, who is thousands of miles away in Yangzhou, has also been determined with this fire.

On May 17, the army marched north to attack Luzhou. On the 19th, Li Shoujie opened the city and surrendered to the Song Dynasty. Zhao Kuangyin pardoned him and gave him a state regiment training envoy. Liu Chengjun, the emperor of the Northern Han Dynasty, was waiting for the news of Li Yun's victory at Taipingyi, but what he was waiting for was the destruction of Zezhou City, Li Yun**. hurriedly retreated to Taiyuan, and secretly rejoiced, "Sure enough, I still listened to Zhao Hua Aiqing's words, and my army did not suffer, but it was a pity that Lu Zan was killed and Wei Rong was captured in Zezhou."

On June 29, Song Taizu set off from Luzhou to return to the dynasty after exempting Zelu 2 Prefecture's tax for the year and buying people's hearts. On July 10, he returned to Kaifeng. First reward the meritorious ministers: Shi Shouxin added a prime minister, Gao Huaide became the captain of the school, and became the Zhao family's own person. The little sister princess who chased Zhao Kuangyin with a rolling pin married Gao Huaide after her ex-husband Miaford died. Such a fierce Yanfu will be left to Gao Huaide to slowly lose his kidneys. Murong Yanyan added a part-time servant, Wang Quanbin awarded the Anguo Army Festival Envoy, and Zhao Guangyi led the Taining Army Festival Envoy. Zhao Pu was promoted to the rank of squire and deputy privy envoy of the Ministry of War. It seems that this is another happy situation.

Otherwise. Zhao Xingfeng, a member of the Zhongshu House who climbed Taihang Mountain with Zhao Kuangyin that day, felt that the mountain was high and the road was far away, and the soldiers were fierce and dangerous, so it was better not to go. So he pretended to fall off his horse and broke his leg, and stayed in Huaizhou and didn't leave. Waiting for the army to triumph, Zhao Xingfeng was ordered to write a certificate of merit. He simply faked to the end, and wrote a letter saying that his leg injury had not healed, and asked to be at home in Baidu. Zhao Kuangyin was furious and immediately removed his official.

There is also a person who seems to be eight lives away from Li Yun on the surface, but he also died because of Li Yun's death. This person is Li Gu, a former important minister of the dynasty.

Li Gu's home is in Luoyang after retirement. And Li Yun was ready to occupy Luoyang as a base, so he quietly sent 500,000 yuan to Li Gu. I hope that the former famous minister will go out of the mountain to preside over the overall situation after he enters the city. Li Gu accepted the money. But then Li Yun rebelled, the emperor personally conquered, and Li Yun **. Li Gu couldn't help but sleep and eat. On July 17, he went with Li Yun on Huangquan Road.

The unlucky Wei Rong became Li Yun's funeral object with the respect of the prime minister of the Northern Han Dynasty. On this day, Zhao Kuangyin personally interrogated Wei Rong, "You teach Liu Chengjun to help Li Yun rebel, and he also" Wei Rong has no fear, and the dog barks is not his master. Chen Cheng couldn't bear to bear Liu. His Majesty will not kill the ministers, and the ministers will not use them for His Majesty" Zhao Kuangyin was furious, hit his head with an iron tart, and the blood flowed all over his face. Wei Rong shouted, "The minister has to die", Zhao Kuangyin suddenly woke up, "This loyal minister also" gave Wei Rong medicine to treat his injuries, and wrote a letter to Liu Chengjun, wanting to exchange Wei Rong for Zhou Guangxun. But the Northern Han did not respond, perhaps Zhou had been killed. After the most reluctant, Zhao Kuangyin left Wei Rong and appointed him as the secretary of Taifu.

At the end of July, Zhao Kuangyin began to reform the forbidden army and enacted a change law. Gradually, the military system of "no special soldiers, no soldiers will be arrogant" with the characteristics of the Zhao and Song dynasties was realized.

On August 17, Song Taizu appointed his second wife, the daughter of Wang Rao, as the empress.
