Chapter 71: Spot check to be the Son of Heaven

Looking at this person who didn't know where he came from, the man in black was in a commotion, and he didn't know what to do?

I also have weapons, but people have crossbows that have been facing us, and we don't dare to act rashly, and we will die at every turn.

However, some people think that it is better to die anyway, so it is better to fight, so that there is likely to be a glimmer of life.

Didn't Zhao Xu say it just now? It's one of our talismans that we want to catch alive, so let's fight for it.

So some people ran towards Zhao Xu, and some people attacked the people who came behind, fighting for a chance.

It's a pity that they chose the wrong place, this time they were destined to be tragic, and the people who rushed towards Zhao Xu were killed by him in anger.

And those who rushed to those who followed Miao Xun were even more looking for death, although Zhao Xu said to let him stay alive, but if you look for death, you are a different matter.

When the rest of the people saw the terrible situation of their companions, they couldn't help but be afraid, and obediently surrendered.

At this time, Ling'er had already fainted from crying, and Zhao Xu put him in his arms afterwards, his face was full of tears, and people were very pitiful when he saw him.

"My subordinates and others have finally found you." Liu Hongqing and Dong Xuanye's words were full of joy.

Of course, for Zhao Xu's title, Miao Xun will always be a special one, always calling the lord, and others do not have this power.

Zhao Xu also felt very kind when he saw them, but he didn't show it, just nodded.

"There is Mr. Lao, please take someone to interrogate these people, see who they are, why do you want to stab me, Liu Hongqing, you go to help, your muscles and bones can be used this time."

After Zhao Xu finished speaking, he carried Ling'er into the house, gently placed him in the house, and gently wiped the tears from his face.

Zhao Xu has a lot of things to do now, first to let the old man change into clean clothes, and then to prepare a good coffin for the old man.

Someone went to procure all of this, and even the local government was alarmed and killed, and being a magistrate was also a headache.

However, when they heard that it was the Marquis of Yu in front of the palace, they walked away in dismay, and at the same time there was endless chagrin. He is a small county official who is only seven grades, how can he compare with this master.

A few months ago, this lord disappeared for several months, and at that time, the central government issued an approval document to search for his whereabouts, and there was a heavy reward. I didn't expect him to be right under my nose.

At this time, Miao Xun came over and saluted Zhao Xu:

"Lord, I am incompetent, these assassins seem to have received special training, and they refuse to confess......" Miao Xun said a little embarrassed.

After all, he prides himself on knowing astronomy and geography, but he can't even do the trivial matter of interrogation, which makes him a little embarrassed.

"Sir doesn't have to be like this, how can Sir understand this, wait for me to see how hard their mouths are."

Zhao Xu had a frost on his face, not at Miao Xun, but at those assassins. Miao Xun was also cold in his heart, he had known Zhao Xu for so long, and he had never seen him like this.

Zhao Xu walked into a room that was temporarily used as a torture room, and more than a dozen people felt a little crowded inside.

There were a few people lying on the ground, looking soft, as if all the bones in their bodies had fallen apart.

These people were torn apart by Liu Hongqing's staggered hands, and some of the people next to them were beaten to the ground.

These people are quite tough, and none of them say who instructed them, and I don't know if they are really hard or something else.

"I'll just ask you once, who asked you to come, otherwise I will make your life worse than death." Zhao Xu's face was calm.

Anyone could hear the calm expression underneath, a determination that could not be doubted, but still no one opened his mouth to reads;.

But Zhao Xu noticed that everyone's eyes drifted to the second person on the left, intentionally or unintentionally, it seemed that this guy was their head.

Zhao Xu walked up to him: "You say? "The eyes reveal a substantial light, which makes people dare not look directly.

But this man twisted his head to the side, and his mouth made a snorting sound.

According to Zhao Xu's previous character, he would definitely be gracious and powerful, but after a series of plots, his heart has changed, completely changed.

Seeing that this man was still working for his master at this time, in a fit of rage, he drew the sword he carried with him, and a great mind rolled to his feet.

Several bound assassins shuddered when they saw this, Zhao Xu did not stop because of this, and cut off the heads of two people with his hands, looking at him like an executioner.

And when I asked again, someone began to beg for mercy, because if he didn't beg for mercy, he might be the next one, so he said everything like a bamboo tube pouring beans......

Chai Rong, the emperor of the Later Zhou Dynasty, after forcing the Southern Tang Dynasty to become a vassal, obtained the fourteen northern and southern states of the Southern Tang Dynasty.

That is, Guangzhou (now Huangchuan, Henan), Shouzhou (now Shou County, Anhui), Haozhou (now Fengyang, Anhui), Sizhou (now Si County, Anhui), Chuzhou (now Huai'an, Jiangsu), Haizhou (now Lianyungang, Jiangsu), Taizhou (now Taizhou, Jiangsu), Yangzhou (now Yangzhou, Jiangsu), Chuzhou (now Chuxian, Anhui), Hezhou (now Hexian, Anhui), Luzhou (now Hefei, Anhui), Shuzhou (now Qianshan, Anhui), Qizhou (now Qichun, Hubei), Huangzhou (now Huanggang, Hubei)

As a result, the territory of the Southern Tang Dynasty was reduced from 35 states at its peak to 21 states, and all of them were in the old land of Wu and part of Fujian south of the Yangtze River.

However, the territory of the Zhou Dynasty was greatly expanded, and its strength would increase rapidly, so Chai Rong, the lord of Zhou, was not satisfied, and began to conquer the Khitan in the north to recover the sixteen states of Yanyun.

In order to seek help from the Khitan, Shi Jingjiao, the ancestor of the Later Jin Dynasty, became the "child emperor" and ceded sixteen states in the north, including Yanzhou and Yunzhou, to the Khitan, which greatly enhanced the strength of the Khitan.

With this large outpost position, the Liao State invaded the Central Plains again and again, bringing great disasters to the people of the Central Plains.

Chai Rong's determination to recover this old land is also in response to the people, and the military and people of the Great Zhou are actively supporting.

So on March 11, the sixth year of Xiande Xiande (959 AD), Chai Rong left the capital and began the northern expedition to the Khitan.

Wu Yanzuo, the envoy of the Xuanhui Southern Academy, was appointed as the guard of Tokyo, Zan Jurun of the Xuanhui Northern Court was appointed as the deputy guard, and the three envoys Zhang Meiwei were all deployed and retained in the capital.

On April 16, he came to Cangzhou and rested for a while. In the evening, Chai Rong led tens of thousands of infantry and cavalry in military uniforms to the north and drove directly to the enemy border.

King Hongju of Khitan Ningzhou opened the city and surrendered. The army soon reached Yijin Pass (present-day Baxian County, Hebei Province), and the Khitan defender Zhong Yanhui also surrendered.

Chai Rongyi and Zhao Kuangyin deployed for the waterway, and Hantong was deployed for the land, advancing by land and water, and continued to continue to the north.

Soon, the vanguard troops approached Waqiao Pass (now south of Zhuozhou City, Hebei), the Khitan guard Yao Neibin surrendered, and Chai Rong entered Waqiao Pass.

Under the deterrence of the Zhou army, the Khitan guards in various places surrendered one after another, and after Liu Chuxin, the assassin of Mozhou, surrendered, Gao Yanhui, the assassin of Yingzhou, also surrendered with the city and passed the pass.

In just 42 days after Chai Rong dispatched his troops, he quickly recovered Sanguan, counted 17 counties in Sanzhou, and completely obtained the territory of Guannan.

Nantang also thought that this time the Zhou Dynasty's northern expedition to the Khitan would definitely fail, and at that time he would be able to take advantage of the situation to recover the land of the fourteen states in Jiangbei.

But the information they received was all about the army of the Great Zhou, how brave they were, many Khitan cities surrendered without a fight.

Li Jing also lamented that Chai Rong of the Zhou Dynasty is now an incomparably wise emperor, and the soldiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty are really unstoppable, which makes him completely lose the confidence to recover Jiangbei.

At the same time, in order to celebrate the victory of the Great Zhou, he also sent people to the Northern Expedition soldiers of the Zhou Dynasty and sent gold and silver to celebrate.

"This Li Jing is quite sensible." Chai Rong smiled very happily when he saw these gold and silver, can he not be happy?

The eunuch Zhang Dejun was immediately afraid of sycophants: "The Southern Tang Dynasty is afraid of our Great Zhou, thanks to Your Majesty's wise and holy martial arts, ...... throughout the ages."

"Okay, you don't have to pat my ass, I ordered to go down to the three armies today to reward the three armies, and you go and pass the decree."

Zhang Dejun ran to deliver the decree after listening to the fart, leaving Chai Rong alone in the military tent.

"Li Jing, since you want to treat me as a soldier, I'm disrespectful ha"

On May 2, Chai Rong held a wine conference, feasted all over the ministers, and discussed continuing to march to recover Youzhou.

The generals congratulated Chai Rong and said: "Your Majesty left Beijing for 42 days, and the soldiers are bloodless, and the land of Yannan is taken, which is an immortal achievement." ”

Even Emperor Qin and Han Wu don't have the power of His Majesty! Although this is suspected of being a sycophant, Chai Rong gladly accepted it.

Who can compare with the emperors of the five dynasties is mostly to avoid the Khitan, and there is anyone like the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, who personally conquered the Khitan.

The most important thing is that everywhere he goes, the Khitan department is fleeing from the wind, which can't help but make him unhappy.

"Please drink this cup to the fullest, and then continue our great cause, recover Yanyun, it is my Great Zhou to become famous in all directions."

"Regain Yanyun and make a name for yourself."

Regain Yanyun and make a name for yourself.

Regain Yanyun and make a name for yourself.

The next day, Liu Chongjin, the commander of the vanguard, set out with his troops and soon occupied Gu'an (present-day Gu'an County, Hebei). Chai Rong then led his troops to the Anyang River in the north of Gu'an County, and ordered the construction of a pontoon bridge to facilitate the attack.

On this night, Chai Rong suddenly felt dizzy, and then fainted on the ground, and after some treatment by the imperial doctor, he finally woke up.

However, his body was very weak and his condition was very serious. I can't go to the front line in person, but there is a general on the front line, just follow his deployment.

But at this time, Chai Rong ordered the class to return to the dynasty and not attack the Khitan. At the same time, he ordered the whole army to retreat, and ordered Zhao Kuangyin to come to meet the driver immediately.

Zhao Kuangyin would also be unknown, but he still rushed back, and only Chai Rong himself knew why he withdrew the army.

He knew that he might not be able to get better this time, and his body knew it by himself, and at the same time he held a wooden board in his hand with five words written on it:

"Check to be the son of heaven".
