I could see the enemy, but the enemy could not see me, and I won without a fight.

Baili Wuji took Yang Tingshi, Gui Shengbin, Xu Shaolong, Chen Ke, and Yang Yongyi as the backbone to form this team, and ordered several armory workshops in the Ming Kingdom to organize forces to improve the load, height and safe landing of hot air balloons.

For safe landing, Baili Wuji gave the construction of a parachute, because the altitude of the hot air balloon at this time is only thirty or forty zhang, and the enemy does not have such a distance of long-range weapons to attack the hot air balloon, so the small fixed bracket parachute, just like the simple parachute like an umbrella, can be convenient and effective to ensure the escape of personnel.

As long as the wing bone is strong enough and the surface is slightly enlarged, it is enough to support one person's weight.

And the subsequent improvement, which requires the armory workshop to adjust according to the actual use situation.

The remaining months passed in a blink of an eye in the peaceful situation of the Ming, Zhou, and Liao kingdoms.

The days of peace passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye it was the end of the year.

On the 20th day of December of the ninth year of the liberation.

The army on the western border of the Zhou State began to make abnormal movements, and quickly assembled in the three prefectures of Ci, Jin, and Dan, while Zhao Kuangyin's army of 30,000 was also transferred from Xiazhou to Suizhou to assemble.

Baili Wuji's first reaction after receiving the flying pigeon transmission was to make the 200,000 new troops of Jiangdu Prefecture enter a state of combat readiness, and order Peng Xiao's fleet to assemble in Jinling and Jiangdu ports to stand by.

However, Baili Wuji did not issue any precautionary measures against the surrounding borders of the Ming Dynasty, and even withdrew the garrison troops of Xuzhou to Haozhou in the south.

Baili Wuji has waited too long for this day, and he doesn't dare to put a little pressure on Zhao Kuangyin. I was afraid that Zhao Kuangyin would shrink back as soon as he was afraid, so he didn't know what year Ma Yue would have to wait until he would have another chance.

Baili is in a hurry, and Zhao Kuangyin is even more anxious. He naturally didn't want to wait until Chai Zongxun grew up, in case he was also a British lord like Chai Rong, wouldn't Zhao Kuangyin's ninety-five dream be a mirror?

Zhao Kuangyin already had enough strength, Xiang Xun and Zheng En had agreed to his approach, and Chai Rong's early death made these generals in charge of heavy troops suddenly lose their allegiance and hope for the future. Once a son of heaven and a courtier. Moreover, now he is only succeeded by a seven-year-old son, who can guarantee that he will be as wise as his father, even if he is wise. That would be 10 or even 20 years away.

This unforgettable disappointment made Xiang Xun, Zheng En, and Feng Xiang Jiedu make Wang Jing and others agree to Zhao Kuangyin's request and unite to fight for their future.

This method is too normal in this era, and the normal one is like changing jobs in later generations. Later, Zhou Taizhou was also surrounded by this group of generals and "petitioned" to become the emperor? Now it's just one more time.

The first day of the first month of the tenth year of liberation.

Just when the Zhou Dynasty was welcoming the New Year. Suddenly, I received an urgent military report from Ling and Yanzhou: The Obstruction Army has once again invaded the south. The frontier is in a hurry!

Coincidentally, Zhao Kuangyin, the envoy of Xiazhou's difficult festival, also sent an urgent military report: tens of thousands of people who blocked the army from the south.

In this way, the two sides corroborate, and the Zhou Dynasty naturally believed it.

The little Empress Dowager Fu and the little emperor Chai Zongxun orphans and widows in the Linzhao Dynasty know what military information is.

I thought that half a year had passed since the smooth transfer of power, and I could sit on the throne safely, but I didn't want such a big change to happen on the first day of the new year.

The Empress Dowager Xiaofu and the little emperor Chai Zongxun were frightened, so they summoned the prime ministers to come to discuss the matter, and Fan Zhen had any good ideas. It can only be "the soldiers come to block, the water comes to cover the earth, please send troops to ask for it." ”

When Empress Dowager Xiao Fu asked who to send to lead the army. The ministers disagreed.

Li Gu and Wang Pu agreed that Zhao Kuangyin's post of inspection existed in name only, but in order to appease him, he did not issue an order to recall, and now he should be reinstated and led the army to the expedition.

Fan Zhen, Wang Pu, and Wei Renpu unanimously recommended Taiwei Li Yun to lead the army to the army, and at the same time believed that at this time, the war was imminent, and it was probably inappropriate to remove Zhao Kuangyin from his post of inspection at this moment, and the matter of removal should be discussed after the war.

Originally, Li Gu and Wang Pu could not be stronger than Fan Qian, Wang Pu, and Wei Renpu even if they insisted, but the Empress Dowager Xiaofu and the little emperor Chai Zongxun received Chai Rong's last order before Chai Rong's death, "Ask Fan if you don't decide on internal affairs, and ask Wang Pu if you don't decide on foreign affairs", plus Zhang Yongde is Chai Rong's brother-in-law, and he has always been loyal.

Therefore, Empress Dowager Xiaofu chose to obey Li Gu and Wang Pu's construction, and ordered Zhang Yongde to lead 100,000 forbidden troops to the expedition, while only 150,000 forbidden troops remained around the capital of Kaifeng.

Zhang Yongde regained his military power, and naturally had great ambitions in his chest to establish meritorious deeds on the battlefield.

He led 100,000 forbidden troops all the way west without stopping, but unfortunately it backfired, and eight days later, as soon as the army entered the border of Jinju, it was surrounded by a large army from all sides.

This army is naturally composed of Zhao Kuangyin, Xiang Xun, Zheng En, Wang Jing and other departments.

Zhang Yongde originally wanted to resist, but as soon as the generals and soldiers of the forbidden army led by him saw Zhao Kuangyin and others, they unanimously asked for surrender.

In fact, as soon as Zhang Yongde saw Zhao Kuangyin, he knew that the general trend had gone, Zhao Kuangyin has always been famous for his righteousness in the Zhou State Forbidden Army, and he is loved by the soldiers, it can be said that in addition to Chai Rong, the second is him. And now that Chai Rong is gone, who else can fight him?

Zhao Kuangyin took over the command of the 100,000 forbidden army, and he did not disadvantage Zhang Yongde, but respected him as a guest. On weekdays, the personal relationship between the two is good, but in Zhao Kuangyin's heart, Zhang Yongde is just a brave general, and he can't threaten his status at all, which is not good for him, and it is not beautiful to increase his notoriety.

The army under the control of Zhao Kuangyin has reached nearly 300,000 people, including 30,000 by himself, 40,000 by Xiang Xun, 20,000 by Zheng En, 30,000 by Wang Jing, and more than 50,000 troops in each section, plus 100,000 forbidden troops who have now surrendered.

After a little rectification, Zhao Kuangyin sent a large number of scouts south to investigate the reaction of the Ming Kingdom, and at the same time ordered the army to go south from Jinzhou to Mengzhou through Zezhou, and amass troops in Luoyang, Xijing.

A few days later, Zhou Kaifeng heard that Zhao Kuangyin had conspired against several towns, and the 100,000 forbidden army led by Zhang Yongde surrendered to Zhao Kuangyin, an ungrateful man, without a single shot, and the government and the opposition were shaken, and you must know that the only thing that the imperial court could fight abroad was the forbidden army, and the 250,000 forbidden army was lost 100,000 at once, which had completely shaken the foundation of the imperial court. Moreover, Zhao Kuangyin added 100,000 troops in vain.

The four prime ministers in the court were frightened, Li Gu and Wang Pu were remorseful and annoyed, and they were so anxious that they were about to cry.

Li Gu emotionally shook Wang Pu's hand and said, "Brother Wang, blame me for being too careless, and as a result, I caused this catastrophe!" ”

Wang Pu screamed: "Brother Li, you pinched me." (To be continued......)
