The sound of "stop" was loud and vigorous, obviously a person with a strong body and strong martial arts, and the sound of gongs and footsteps that came one after another showed that there were a lot of people behind this person.

Although Zhou Zhuocheng was bent on killing Xu Yongzhi quickly, he also knew that there was a strong man, and this person was friend or foe, so he had to figure it out first.

Outside the door, a group of soldiers wearing red tassels and white felt hats and leather cuirasses entered.

There were people with spears, knives and shields, and archers, but they blocked Zhou Zhuocheng's No. 100 soldiers and dozens of people in the courtyard.

These soldiers are not their own soldiers!

Zhou Zhuocheng's brain buzzed.

Moreover, this is not the uniform of the Southern Tang either!

", surrounded by enemies!"

"No, this is Longhu Mountain, the rear of the Southern Tang Dynasty, where is the enemy?"

Zhou Zhuocheng hurriedly tried to sort out the current chaotic situation.

These soldiers wore the uniform color of the Great Zhou.

Soldiers from the North, what are you doing here?

Zhou Zhuocheng was deeply impressed by this army.

The year before and the year before last, the Southern Tang Dynasty lost two Huai lands in a row, both of which were defeated by the army of the Great Zhou.

There is an old saying, called "guarding the river must guard the Huai", without the Jianghuai as a buffer zone, let the opponent in the Jiangbei shipbuilding training army, the Yangtze River has no natural danger at all.

This is also why Sun Quan and Cao Cao repeatedly tug-of-war between Jianghuai back then.

Today's Southern Tang Dynasty and the Great Zhou Dynasty are divided and ruled, in fact, there is no capital for confrontation.

Having lost the Jianghuai region, Nantang also had much less money.

Today, when we talk about Jiangnan, we always feel that it is a rich place, but when we talk about Jiangbei, there is always an illusion of backwardness, which is actually wrong.

As the old saying goes, "It is better to go on both sides of the Huai River than to go thousands of miles." ”

As long as there will be no rebellion in 20 years and no floods and droughts in 10 years, the Jianghuai River will become fertile and fertile.

The area between the Huai River and the Yangtze River can be grown with rice, grain from the north, and salt, a resource that is very lacking in the south of the Yangtze River.

Until today, more than 1,000 years later, Dingyuan in Anhui, Lianyungang in Jiangsu, and Zigong in Sichuan are all important salt producing areas, and the first two are in Lianghuai.

As long as there is salt between Jianghuai, Li Yu can transport it to Jiangnan and sell it to merchants and ordinary people at a high price.

Without the land between Jianghuai and Huai, he will import salt to the Meng family in Houshu, and let others earn this money.

There is Jianghuai, Nantang and Da Zhou are opponents, without Jianghuai, Nan Tang will become the son of Da Zhou, and he will look up to people.

Zhou Zhuocheng looked at this group of soldiers of the Zhou Dynasty, waiting for their leader to come out.

Zhou Bing was surrounded by a general, in his thirties, wearing a hat and soft armor, with a big red face, long eyebrows and a big mouth, and a broad waist and a round waist.

When everyone saw this person, they couldn't help but praise secretly:

"What an imposing general!"

The man had no blade in his hand, but a scroll of silk.

"The Divine Decree has arrived!" The big-faced general's voice was majestic, "Which one is Zhang Qianren Zhang Zhenren?" ”

"Don't dare, poor road is." Zhang Qianren said.

"Zhang Qianren Zhang Zhenren takes the order!"

Before the main master could start, Sun Yijin couldn't wait to kneel down in front of the holy decree.

"Hooray! Hooray! ”

A group of Jiangnan Qunhao and Southern Tang soldiers who didn't know the truth in the back also knelt down in a group of hulala.

"Bastard!" Zhou Zhuocheng scolded, "Get up for me!" ”

Zhou Zhuocheng turned to the general.

"Where is the Divine Decree? Why haven't I heard? What is the part of the ride? ”

It is rare for such a domineering person to use honorifics.

"This official is Zhao Kuangyin, the Taibao of the Great Zhou Inspection School and the Loyal Military Festival!"

"Ahh You are Zhao Yuanlang, the god of the Kaifeng army! Sun Yijin just got up and knelt down again.

This registration also frightened Zhou Zhuocheng a lot.

Zhou Zhuocheng once almost died at the hands of Zhao Kuangyin.

The year before last, the Battle of Shouzhou, and the Later Zhou and the Southern Tang Dynasty fought for Shouchun City.

At that time, the old emperor Li Jing was still there, and Zhou Zhuocheng led his troops to fight with Zhao Kuangyin's troops, and unexpectedly found that this army was completely different from the army he had encountered.

The army of the five dynasties has not changed much from the feudal towns after the middle of the Tang Dynasty, and there is a particularly important characteristic, that is, "unreliable".

For example, the core of Zhou Zhuocheng's army is probably a team of about 1,000 people, these people have heavy armor and horse harness, and they are generally not easily dispatched.

There are also about 2,000 archers, who can not be used as much as possible.

When fighting, give priority to those people and miscellaneous soldiers, cut down bamboo poles, and issue spear heads to them, which is pikemen.

Some people have a cuirass, and some have only a helmet at all.

When it's time to make a move, let the cavalry force this group of miscellaneous soldiers to go up and consume the enemy's combat power.

On both sides were miscellaneous soldiers fighting miscellaneous soldiers, and bamboo poles were fighting each other.

Its practical archers will be better, but everyone has calculations, this is a war for the emperor, it is a business, but bows and arrows cost a lot, a row of archers put a round, and hundreds of arrows will go out, and military spending is controlled by the festival, and if you spend money on archery, you may lose money.

Seeing that the enemy side could not hold on, Zhou Zhuocheng sent the cavalry out to fight the vulnerable side, and as soon as he rushed, the enemy ran away.

In the past, the destruction of Fujian, Ma Chu, and the conflict with the Southern Han Dynasty were all like this.

But the army of the Great Zhou is completely different, especially Zhao Kuangyin's army.

From the main general to the small soldiers, all of them are not bad for money.

As soon as the miscellaneous soldiers of the Southern Tang Army went up, they were shot in the face by the archers, and they ran back crying, and they also messed up their own archers.

Before, you could let the cavalry whip him, but if you shoot a person who is not dead by a rain of arrows, you will have no effect on him with a whip, and he would rather you cut him than go under the rain of arrows again.

The Southern Tang Army was in such a big mess, and once the Later Zhou Forbidden Army under the command of Zhao Kuangyin began to rush and kill, their eyes were red, and they all seemed to have enmity.

"The northerners are fighting, and they are all coming for real!" The Southern Tang Army was quite panicked.

It's not just about getting it real, it's about business progress.

Zhou Jun's hobby is archery, everyone is practicing when they are resting, and each arrow is close and accurate.

Zhao Kuangyin led the troops and had to lecture every day:

1. Defend the great Emperor His Majesty Chai Rong

2. End troubled times with me

3. After this battle, we will divide the money

A little political correctness, a little ideal calling, and finally a promotion to make a fortune, this soldier is getting more and more powerful.

One word:

People really want to fight, they really want to kill.

This is why the Great Zhou Dynasty banned an army of 2,000 people and dared to surprise the 10,000-strong army of the Southern Tang Dynasty.

When Zhou Zhuocheng was killed by a big-faced general riding a white horse in the battle for the first time, he was still very unconvinced.

Zhou Zhuocheng also asked left and right: "Who is that man?" ”

After inquiring left and right, he went back and forth: "That's Zhao Kuangyin, the commander of the enemy army." ”

Zhao Kuangyin's golden armor and red robe that day was dressed in eye-catching.

"Zhao Yuanlang is here! Zhou Zhuocheng, come out and fight me to the death! ”

Zhou Zhuocheng was really about to rush forward, but was quickly stopped by the left and right.

"General, this person once rushed into our army with a horse's neck and captured General Huang Fuhui alive at once...... The general's golden body ......"

Zhou Zhuocheng saw that his army line was scattered, and hurriedly gathered the knights, so as not to lose all his capital.

"General, there are not many cavalry losses, you are still our number one god of war in the Tang Dynasty!"

Of course, none of the infantry or archers returned.

In that battle, Zhou Zhuocheng's loss was still the lightest.

The Southern Tang army suffered more than 10,000 casualties, and Li Jing sent envoys to sue for peace and call him a minister, but from then on he only dared to call himself the "lord of Jiangnan", and changed the clan of the Great Zhou.

When Li Yu succeeded to the throne, this emperor was just an emperor who came to do it behind closed doors.

Zhao Kuangyin, Zhao Kuangyin, I didn't expect to meet here.

"By the holy decree of His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Zhou, I came to Longhu Mountain to invite Zhang Zhenren to Bianliang, what is your title? Need to report back to you? ”

Zhou Zhuocheng knelt down on one knee and gave a military salute.

"The subordinate Zhou Zhuocheng is in armor, and he can't give full courtesy, and the general will atone for his sins."

"Oh."

Zhao Kuangyin didn't even say hello to him, and went straight to the holy decree.

"The edict said: Please ask Zhang Qianren and Zhang Zhenren to come to Bianliang to talk to me. Chin this. ”

Not a word of nonsense.

It's all emperors right away, and there's no need for so much nonsense.

After the third emperor, the founding emperor was Guo Wei, and Guo Wei was the commander of the Later Han Dynasty, and was forced to rebel by the emperor.

Although he became the emperor himself, his sons were all killed.

When Guo Wei was critically ill, he finally passed the throne to his wife, Chai Rong, the nephew of Empress Chai.

Emperor Chai received the throne from his brother-in-law, and he did not have any royal blood, which made his throne quite unstable.

Everyone is a colleague, you suddenly became a leader because you are a relative of the leader, don't the old colleagues look at your jokes?

The internal rebels, the invasion of the Northern Han, when the test comes, the people around you are watching your jokes.

You can only mobilize those you trust the most to go to the front, and you have to be very careful with the others.

Guo Wei has a nephew, Li Chongjin, who is Chai Rong's cousin, and has always been a strong heir to the throne before.

Who said that the emperor is easy to be.

If you want to be an emperor in the fifth generation, you must be very strong and able to fight.

But Chai Rong was such a fierce man, he took all the troops he could mobilize to Shanxi to fight the combined forces of the Northern Han and Khitan.

There were 30,000 people in the Northern Han Dynasty, and how many Khitans there were, I can't count them.

Nomads fought wars, and people joined them along the way, so it was really difficult to count the troops.

When the Northern Han army came up, it broke through the position of Fan Aineng, the general of the Later Zhou Dynasty.

In fact, running away was the norm in the five dynasties of the Tang Dynasty.

The monarch can't control the powerful feudal town, and when there is a war, it is fate that you can come, and if you escape, as long as you can come back after the battle, then the boss will have to say thank you.

It's just that Chai Rong, the boss this time, is a ruthless man himself, and there are also two ruthless people under his own hands.

At this time, Zhao Kuangyin, a general of the forbidden army with a low status, loudly encouraged the soldiers in the army:

"The saints are fighting in person, we can't collapse, all rush me!"

He even began to command generals of higher rank than himself, and he asked the general Zhang Yongde to lead archers to guard the high place and fight against the Northern Han army.

The servants carried the army of the Northern Han Dynasty, and Emperor Chai personally led the troops to assault.

Li Chongjin also showed his loyalty and showed his might.

Before dark, reinforcements came, and everyone was on Chai Rong's side.

Emperor Chai was thirty-three years old, and the defeated Khitan army of the Northern Han Dynasty remembered this pioneer in a dragon robe.

Maybe everyone has merit, but the person who showed loyalty at the most critical moment was Zhao Kuangyin.

Zhao Kuangyin was ready to attack the city with injuries, and Chai Rong cherished him.

Fan Aineng also came back, thinking that Chai Rong would be like the emperors in the past, saying "It's good to come back", or scolding him and asking him to hand over some food and pull him down.

Chai Rong asked Fan Aineng to kneel down and beheaded him with a sword.

The more than 70 generals who fled outside the account were also beheaded.

"Change the stinky rules of the past, and those who abandon their generals and their lords will die!"

Chai Rong put his arm around Zhao Kuangyin's shoulder, "Look at this person, he shed blood for me!" He is the new Temperance Envoy! ”

The generals dispersed, and Chai Rong told Zhao Kuangyin:

"I didn't expect to survive."

"Me too."

The two are monarchs, comrades-in-arms, and brothers.

"I want to establish a strong forbidden army, you go and recruit people for me, the emperor himself must have soldiers." Chai Rong made up his mind.

The most important thing for the forbidden army organized by Zhao Kuangyin is that there is a strong team of coaches, and he personally goes down to fight with people, and the best people become the head of guns and sticks, and the head of bows and arrows.

These instructors then went to train instructors and soldiers, and in this way, the Later Zhou Forbidden Army became a highly professional army.

This is also why Zhao Kuangyin sent troops to Huainan, all of which were 2,000 soldiers fighting 10,000 people.

Zhou Zhuocheng looked at Zhao Kuangyin, and he was also an enemy.

But Zhao Kuangyin came to the Southern Tang Dynasty, and it was obvious that there was a note between the two courts.

Zhao Kuangyin came to invite Zhang Zhenren with the Great Zhou Holy Decree.

Even if Zhou Zhuocheng had a hundred guts, it was impossible to gather soldiers and horses to kill Zhao Kuangyin, and ......

"Where are my soldiers?" Zhou Zhuocheng suddenly had a question mark in his head.

He didn't know that hundreds of people were scared away by Ah Crisp's projection when Xu Yongzhi entered the mountain.

Zhou Zhuocheng was even more frightened when he thought that Zhao Kuangyin had disarmed his soldiers and horses without realizing that he had brought two or three hundred people.

"General Zhao ......" Sun Yijin looked flattering, "Down is the Jiangnan Martial Arts Health Force Sun Yijin ......"

"Get out!" Zhao Kuangyin said.

"Yes, yes, yes."

Zhao Kuangyin's temper is not so bad, most of the time, this is a gentle and firm fat man.

His attitude towards Sun Yijin was because he quietly saw the whole process of the competition in the crowd.

The team led by Zhao Kuangyin was about 200 people, mainly to protect dignitaries, and the purpose was not to fight.

When the small team arrived outside the town, they saw that the Heavenly Master's Mansion was brightly lit and noisy, but there were no soldiers on the road, so Zhao Kuangyin asked the soldiers to stop and go in to see first.

So, General Zhao mixed in the crowd and coerced Zhou Zhuocheng into coercing Zhang Tianshi and Ge Laodao to call Xu Yongzhi, Xu Yongzhi stabbed Lao Dao with a wooden sword, and the Longhushan brothers killed each other, all of which were finished.

Zhao Kuangyin was born in Luoyang, grew up in the army compound, practiced martial arts since he was a child, and fell in love with listening to stories on the street since he was a child.

I've never heard such a wonderful book in my life.

forced the young man to hand over his sister, and the wooden sword could pierce people through (Zhao Kuangyin thought that he couldn't do it himself), and then the senior brother turned against him, and there were three people who liked a woman......

Romance, fantasy, suspense, martial arts, cultivating immortals (there is also a girl who can rain there), all kinds of elements are there.

But listening to it, Zhao Kuangyin understood.

Xu Yongzhi, this young man, is righteous, and now he is being bullied.

So seeing Ah Crisp break through the haze array, Zhao Kuangyin hurriedly went out.

Bring in the soldiers and recite the decree.

If you want to save Xu Yongzhi, you have to be a messenger, and you have to recite the holy decree!

As soon as he came back, just in time for Zhou Zhuocheng to make a move, he quickly asked the soldiers to surround the group of people and control the scene.

After listening to the holy decree, Zhang Tianshi received the decree and thanked him.

Zhao Kuangyin opened his mouth and said: "Heavenly Master, save your disciples first, then take them, let's go north together!" ”

When Zhang Qianren heard this, he hurriedly pulled out his legs and ran down, and the Dragon and Tiger Soul Turning Pill fed Xu Yongzhi, clicked on the acupoints around his wound, and gave him crossbow arrows, Qingfeng and Mingyue helped to bandage the wound.

Lao Dao hurriedly ran to Duan Zishou's side again, fed him medicine to heal his wounds, and looked at the wounds of the two people, all of them were red blood, and he was relieved to know that the arrows were not poisonous.

"General, these two people are not lightly injured, are they going to ...... tomorrow" Zhang Tianshi whispered to Zhao Kuangyin.

"Heavenly Master, don't hesitate, these people are coming back, don't say it's you, I can't leave!" Zhao Kuangyin also replied in a low voice.

"Look at me old fool!" The old heavenly master called his son, "Seal the treasury and the door of the mansion, please bury the dead in this town, you take your disciples, let's go north together and go to Kaifeng Mansion!" ”

The old heavenly master picked up Xu Yongzhi with his own hands, and as soon as he got up, he heard Zhou Zhuocheng shouting: "Old man, put this kid down!" ”

"Zhou Zhuocheng, is it your turn to speak here?" Zhao Kuangyin said, he began to catch this subordinate defeat off guard, and now he understands that the other party is going to fight back, so he hurriedly takes the lead.

"General Zhao, you are the envoy of the Jiedu, I am also the envoy of the Jiedu, you are the Qincha of the Shangguo, I respect you for three points, but this kid is the prisoner of our Jiangnan Kingdom, if you want to mention it, you also have to ask the lord of Jiangnan, and my lord will give me an order."

It's okay to say that. The holy decree is to let Zhang Zhenren enter Bianliang, you take Zhang Bei and bring the disciples of Longhu Mountain, no problem, but Xu Yongzhi is a disciple of Longhu Mountain, if you want to take him away, you must have a reason.

Xu Yongzhi said at this time: "General Zhao, I understand your kindness, today my limit has arrived, please take this little brother of mine A Shou......"

Zhao Kuangyin approached Xu Yongzhi.

"Little brother, I like you, I Lao Zhao takes a fancy to a man like you, today Lao Zhao will protect you, which turtle grandson dares to keep you, I will beat him!"

Sun Yijin hurriedly covered his ears: "Oh, don't say such vulgar words, vulgar words." ”

Zhou Zhuocheng didn't dare to hit Zhao Kuangyin, but he looked at the crossbow in his hand.

Shoot Xu Yong's arrows and give him a dead one.

He adjusted his breathing, suddenly aimed at Xu Yongzhi, and pulled the crossbow machine!
