"Sister, does Xiao Wu have any news back?" I asked quietly.

"Well, I just sent someone back a few days ago to send a secret letter." Xinning suppressed her throat and whispered.

"Letter? Where is it. "Xiao Wu is mostly a flying pigeon on weekdays, and then when Sister Xinning visited me in the palace, she relayed it, and she has never written a letter so formally, I don't know if it's a big deal!

Thinking all the way into the inner hall, Xin Ning used the excuse to send others away, and then took out a brocade box from an inconspicuous cabinet, and took out a wax pill from the mezzanine of the brocade box.

I was anxious to open the wax pill, only to see that it read: "

Xiao Wu worships Mrs. Flowers:

The minister received his own order, and now he is hidden in the army of the Zhou Dynasty, and belongs to the small guard of Zhao Kuangyin, the marquis of Yu in front of the palace......

What the? Xiao Wu is actually in Zhao Kuangyin's army now?

Xiao Wu said in the letter that shortly after Chai Rong succeeded to the throne, Liu Chong of the Northern Han Dynasty and the Liao State took the opportunity to go south, intending to take advantage of the internal instability of the Later Zhou Dynasty to attack the power of the Zhou Dynasty. In February of the 17th year of Guangzheng, the Khitan sent Yang Gon to lead more than 10,000 cavalry and more than 50,000 infantry to Jinyang (now Taiyuan), and joined the two armies of Liu Chong of the Northern Han Dynasty in Jinyang, all the way to Luzhou (now Changzhi). Liu Chong, the lord of the Northern Han Dynasty, led the Chinese army, Zhang Yuanhui led the left army, and Yang Gon was the right army.

Zhao Ning Jiedu of the Zhou Dynasty sent Li Yun to send his subordinate general Mu Lingjun to lead 2,000 men and horses to meet the attack, not wanting Mu Lingjun to be killed in an ambush and lose more than 1,000 people. Li Yun retreated to Luzhou. Chai Rong was furious when he heard the news and decided to personally lead the army to resist the attack of the Northern Han.

When the two armies of the Northern Han Dynasty and the Later Zhou Dynasty met in Gaoping and fought in array, the commanders of the right army of the Later Zhou Dynasty, Fan Aineng and He Hui, were cowardly against the enemy, and they were defeated in a battle, and thousands of infantry surrendered. However, when the battle was unfavorable and the right flank of the Zhou army retreated, Chai Rong risked his life to come to the battlefield in person, taking the lead, and Zhao Kuangyin's soldiers made a surprise attack, which reversed the tide of the battle and defeated the Northern Han army on all fronts.

After the First Battle of Gaoping, the Zhou Dynasty army pursued the victory and attacked all the way to Taiyuan. On March 23, Chai Rong led his army to temporarily Tun Luzhou (now Changzhi, Shanxi).

Subsequently, Chai Rong beheaded more than 70 famous generals such as Fan Aineng and He Hui to correct military law. At the same time, he began to rectify the forbidden army, select the elite, eliminate the old and weak, recruit the strong men of the world, and enrich the forbidden army.

Xiao Wu Xinzhong said: After Chai Rong's comprehensive rectification, the military strength of the Zhou Dynasty has been greatly improved, especially the forbidden army, which has become an elite army that enforces orders and prohibits and fights bravely.

When I gently closed Xiao Wu's letter, my mood fell to the bottom again.

The heart is like a cat scratching...... I know who Chai Rong is, and I vaguely remember what kind of achievements he made in the historical records, not to mention Zhao Kuangyin, who founded the Song Dynasty......

It was as if there was a huge chariot in front of me, carrying my loved ones and family towards the cliff, and I didn't know when it would be broken...... What to do? What should I do, what can I do?

I want to change, but I, a weak woman in the deep palace, am so small in the face of the giant wheel of history rolling forward! However, I can't watch my loved ones be swallowed up by history in ignorance, I have to do something, I have to do something.

My heart was in turmoil, and my fingers trembled involuntarily.

Sister Xinning said anxiously on the side: "Rui'er, Rui'er, what's wrong with you?" ”

"No, nothing!" I forced myself to calm down, pulled the corners of my mouth and said, "Xu got up early and accidentally suffered some cold, and now I feel a little uncomfortable."

"Then, you lie down and rest, I'll call my eldest brother to see you." Xin Ning said that she was going to look for Ling Xuan.

"Sister, no need. I'm better now, if you go to Mr. Ling, it won't be good to alarm the emperor for a while. I snapped.

Xin Ning looked at me suspiciously, reached out and tried my forehead again, and said nervously: "Is it burned or not, but your face is so pale, it must be bad, let the eldest brother take a look......"

"Sister, there's really no need, you make me a cup of hot tea to drink, and it'll be fine in a while." I grabbed Xinning and tried my best to dissuade her, and my heart was also turning a thousand times.

Change history! Is it possible? If so, what will the future look like? Even if history can change, what do I do?

These thoughts kept churning through my mind, but I couldn't figure it out.

Bao Yuan saw that I was not willing to give up, and asked me many times with concern, so I had to infer that I was uncomfortable.

In the following days, I devoted all my energy to studying historical materials related to Shu, and even asked Jingyi to find a topographic map, and specially inquired about the economic and trade situation of the counties in Shu from Xinning and Ji'er.

Shu has always been rich, although natural disasters have continued in recent years, but the accumulation of years has allowed the people to live and work in peace and contentment, and the business and trade are prosperous, and the treasury is also sufficient. I use copper coins for trading and circulating in Dashu.

In this way, if we want to expand our armaments and strengthen border defense, there should be no problem in terms of the country's financial resources.

However, shortly afterward, Xiao Wu sent another message.

The letter said that Chai Rong relied heavily on Zhao Kuangyin, and he served as the history of Ma Zhijun before the Battle of Gaoping. Because he was born in the emperor's domain, he became one of Chai Rong's military cronies, and he had to lead the guards and soldiers together with his noble relative Zhang Yongde. After the Battle of Gaoping, he was promoted to the palace capital Yu Hou and led the Yongzhou defense envoy. Now he is also in charge of the selection of the forbidden army of the Zhou Dynasty.

Xiao Wu also mentioned that Zhao Kuangyin was a heroic and righteous person, and often made friends in the army, and the ten brothers of the Yishe headed by him were all people who held military power and had a certain status in the Zhou army.

From this point of view, he has begun to have his own power, and by reckoning, he is only twenty-eight years old today.
