[Not long after Zhao Pu and Zhao Kuangyin talked, Zhao Kuangyin suddenly learned that his old father was seriously ill, but he couldn't leave the barracks at this time, and he was very troubled.

When Zhao Pu learned about it, he took the initiative to ask Ying to serve the old lady on his behalf, and served with all his heart and soul for three months.

The old lady was very grateful to Zhao Pu, and on his deathbed he recognized Zhao Pu as his godson.

At this moment, there was another layer of family relationship between Zhao Kuangyin and Zhao Pu, and since then Zhao Pu has naturally become an important member of Zhao Kuangyin Group. 】

[At the end of the fifth year of Xiande (959 AD), the Later Han Dynasty, which was located in the Jin Dynasty, sent troops to invade, and Chai Rong led an army of 100,000 to meet the battle.

But not far from Chai Rong's walk out of Kaifeng, a mysterious wooden sign appeared in the army, which reads "Check to do", and everyone thinks that it means to be the emperor.

Chai Rong thought it was a bad omen, so he returned to the court, but he couldn't afford to fall ill after he returned.

Chai Rong was still worried that Zhang Yongde, who was inspected in front of the palace at the time, would be unfavorable to the throne, so he removed him from his post and replaced him with his most trusted commander and Zhao Kuangyin, the envoy of Songzhou Jiedu.

Soon Chai Rong died of illness, and his seven-year-old son Chai Zongxun took over, known as Emperor Zhou Gong in history. 】

"Damn, Chai Rong couldn't even imagine that he was killed, it was because of the replacement of Zhao Kuangyin that his own throne was lost!"

"Properly lure the wolf into the house"

"Poor Chai Rong treats Lao Zhao as a brother, but Lao Zhao robs his brother's son of the throne."

"It's a bit unrighteous."

“.”

[In the first month of the seventh year of Xiande (960 AD), there was an invasion alarm on the border, which was the Khitan collusion with the Northern Han Dynasty to invade the border of the Song Dynasty.

Prime Minister Fan Zhen hurriedly sent Zhao Kuangyin to lead the army to the north, and when the troops marched to Chenqiaoyi, a key road forty miles northeast of Kaifeng, it was already evening, and Zhao Kuangyin ordered to camp.

At this time, there was a discussion in the army that "the emperor is young and no one knows about his meritorious service, so it is better to be the emperor first, and then go into battle to kill the enemy".

Seeing this, everyone must have guessed that this rumor of "spot checking" was actually concocted by Zhao Pu, Zhao Guangyi and others in collaboration with Zhao Kuangyin himself. 】

[Zhao Pu and others made plans for Zhao Kuangyin, but they couldn't do it for some reason, so they drunk Zhao Kuangyin.

The next day, Zhao Kuangyin woke up and saw that the barracks were full of people, and all the soldiers stood with swords, with a murderous atmosphere.

Zhao Pu came in and draped a yellow robe on Zhao Kuangyin's body, pushed him to the chair and sat down, and then led the soldiers to kneel down and shout three times!

This is the famous "Chenqiao Mutiny" in history!

As for whether Zhao Kuangyin is really drunk or fake, I'm afraid only he knows. 】

Zhao Kuangyin became the Taizu of the Song Dynasty, and after the establishment of the Northern Song Dynasty, because of Zhao Pu's meritorious work in planning the mutiny, the official worshiped the doctor and the privy councillor became the first prime minister of the Northern Song Dynasty. 】

[After Zhao Kuangyin, Taizu of the Song Dynasty, established the Song Dynasty on behalf of Zhou, including the traditional situation of military ministers taking power since the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, and at the same time there were various rebellions; Outside, there were fierce rivals in the north, the Liao Dynasty, and the Northern Han Dynasty under the control of the Liao Dynasty, and in the south, there were Wu Yue, Southern Tang, Jingnan, Southern Han, Hou Shu and other separatist regimes, and it can be said that the situation was extremely grim. 】

[Chen Qiao Mutiny, after the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, Zhaoyi Jiedu made Li Yun clearly oppose the new regime.

Li Yunnai was a member of the Later Zhou Dynasty, and he successively experienced the Later Tang, Later Jin, Later Han, and Later Zhou regimes.

After Guo Wei became emperor, he promoted Li Yun to be the envoy of the Zhaoyi Festival, sitting in Luzhou, Li Yun served as the envoy of the Zhaoyi Festival for a long time, and his position was quite stable, and he was a very powerful local prince.

After Zhao Kuangyin seized power in a coup d'état, he actively attracted local forces.

In this era of "the city head changing the banner of the king", many local forces have expressed their allegiance to the new central power, but Zhaoyi Jiedu made Li Yun not move at all.

Song Taizu knew that Li Yun's strength was strong, so he took the initiative to win over, and Xu sent envoys to Luzhou with a high-ranking official and a good lord, and crowned Li Yun as the Zhongshu Order. 】

[But after the arrival of the envoys in Kaifeng, Li Yun unexpectedly invited a portrait of Guo Wei, the founding emperor of the Later Zhou Dynasty, at the reception banquet.

Li Yun ordered the painting to be hung on the wall of the hall, and then cried over Guo Wei's portrait.

This move shows that Li Yun is unwilling to submit to the new imperial court, and the reason is not that he is only loyal to Hou Zhou, but that he thinks that Zhao Kuangyin is a junior, and now he actually climbed on his head like this, and he is very dissatisfied in his heart.

Moreover, Zhao Kuangyin granted him the post of Zhongshu Ling, ostensibly to promote the officer, but in fact to reduce his military power, Li Yun did not know the reason. 】

"Huh. I didn't think of it at the time. Zhao Kuangyin smiled awkwardly.

[After learning of Li Yun's resistance to the Northern Song Dynasty, the Northern Han Emperor Liu Jun secretly sent an envoy to meet Li Yun and invited him to join forces against the newly established Great Song regime.

In April of the first year of Jianlong (960), the war between Li Yun and Zhao Kuangyin broke out! 】

[Zhao Pu saw that the situation was grim, so he strongly persuaded Taizu Zhao Kuangyin to drive the expedition in person, and at the same time he also went with him.

Zhao Kuangyin obeyed his proposal, drove the expedition in person, and ordered Zhao Pu to stay in Beijing, but Zhao Pu still asked to go with the army, and Zhao Kuangyin had to agree.

On Li Yun's side, with the support of the Northern Han regime, he seemed full of confidence.

At the same time, in his opinion, "the generals of the Zhou Dynasty, the same brothers as Shizongyi, and the guards are all my old people." He believed that as long as he carried the banner of Guo Wei and Chai Rong as a call, the old generals of the Later Zhou Dynasty and the officers and soldiers of the forbidden army would inevitably defect and overthrow Zhao Kuangyin's regime.

But Li Yun's judgment was completely wrong.

Zhao Kuangyin gave both grace and power to the old generals of the Later Zhou Dynasty, and the official Zhaodang was even promoted, and he was still led by Yu Lu, how many people would still want to be loyal to the Later Zhou?

For Li Yun's rebellion, Zhao Kuangyin was fully prepared, and when the war broke out, he immediately sent the generals Shi Shouxin and Gao Huaide to lead his troops to investigate. 】

[Although Li Yun received assistance from the Northern Han, his contradictions with the Northern Han were soon exposed.

The Northern Han Dynasty and the Later Zhou Dynasty were originally feuding, and Li Yun kept claiming to be the relics of the Later Zhou Dynasty, which made the Northern Han Emperor Liu Jun very dissatisfied.

At the same time, Liu Jun sent another supervisor to Li Yun's army, which also caused Li Yun's dissatisfaction.

Based on this situation of mutual distrust, the joint combat strength of the two sides has been seriously weakened.

After Zhao Kuangyin sent Shi Shouxin and Gao Huaide, they quickly made progress.

The army of Shi Shouxin and Gao Huaide defeated Li Yun and the Northern Han coalition army of more than 30,000 people in the south of Zezhou, captured the Northern Han general Fan Shoutu alive, and killed the prison army Lu Zan.

After losing the battle, Li Yun had to retreat in Zezhou and hold on to the city.

However, in June, Zhao Kuangyin, Taizu of the Song Dynasty, arrived in Zezhou and personally sat on the front line and commanded the siege.

The emperor's presence caused the morale of the soldiers to skyrocket, and the Song army sent a death squad to attack the city and climb the city walls, and Zezhou fell.

Li Yun did not want to become a prisoner of the Song army, and after the fall of the city, he chose to self-immolate and die, and it took less than two months for the Zhaoyi envoy to be defeated from the beginning of the army. 】

"In fact, the combat power of the Northern Song Dynasty army was still very strong at the beginning, otherwise it would not have been able to win consecutive battles in the southern and northern wars."

"It's a pity that after the release of military power with a glass of wine, the Northern Song Dynasty set a national policy of suppressing martial arts and respecting literature, which led to the Song Dynasty's weakness for a hundred years."

"I hope that Song Taizu can make changes after seeing the live video, and I also hope that the 'shame of Jingkang' will never be repeated."
