Aspiring to the Ten Kingdoms

Chapter 312 Zhao Kuangyin

The attic of Donghuamen.

Zhao Kuangyin's face was ashen, looking at Liu Guangyi who was lying in front of him without breathing, his eyes were slightly red.

As soon as he entered the palace, he immediately learned that a group of thieves had kidnapped Empress Fu and Guo Zongxun.

Zhao Kuangyin's agitated heart went cold in an instant, and he rushed to the scene angrily, only to see the old seventh Liu Guangyi dead for a long time.

Zhang Dejun stood aside in embarrassment, cowering and at a loss.

He and Wang Zhengzhong went back to the imperial city first.

Wang Zhengzhong ran around the gates of the palace, arranging soldiers to seal off the imperial city.

Zhang Dejun went all the way to Wende Hall, wanting to return to Queen Fu's side and control her when necessary.

When he arrived at Wende Hall, he learned that Empress Fu had left. Zhang Dejun instantly realized that something was wrong.

Hearing that Guo Rong was going to kill Zhao Kuangyin for the first time, Zhang Dejun was also in a panic.

He and Zhao Kuangyin have already boarded a boat, and if they want to capsize, they will all have to capsize.

He made a mistake in the chaos, so he went straight to Wang Zhengzhong in a panic.Now that I think about it carefully, I also realize that I am so afraid of Guo Rong that I didn't even try to hide it.

With a glimmer of hope, he went to the back hall to find Empress Fu, and learned that Empress Fu took several princes to Zichen Hall to put Kongming lanterns to pray for Guo Rong.

At this moment, Zhang Dejun knew that something was wrong.

There must be a demon in the abnormal situation.

Here, Guo Rong just asked Queen Fu to kill Zhao Kuangyin, and turned around to ask Queen Fu to pray for Guo Rong?
There is clearly a problem.

Zhang Dejun hurriedly came to Zichen Hall, what he saw was already a mess.

Wang Zhengzhong was one step ahead of him, and had already led his troops out of the city to find the whereabouts of the kidnapped Empress Fu and Guo Zongxun.

Zhao Kuangyin and Fan Zhi also followed.

Listen to the whole story.

Fan Zhi's face turned pale, and he whispered: "It must be Fu Yanqing. No one can do this except him, and a saint will not just follow someone casually... It's over, it's over!"

Empress Fu and Guo Zongxun are their trump cards, and without them the game would be impossible.

Guo Rong's prestige was too high, Zhao Kuangyin and Fan Zhi didn't dare to control him even if he was alive.

The control character queen and Guo Zongxun are the only choices.

Guo Rong let him go into a coma normally, never woke up, and had no other thoughts,

Then use the lives of Guo Rong and Guo Zongxun to threaten and control Empress Fu.

As long as Luo Youdu, the only one who can pose a threat, is removed, they can turn defeat into victory.

The loser has no power to influence public opinion.

But now the most critical killing move is gone, and all their calculations have come to nothing at this moment.

Fan Zhi was trembling, his eyes were confused, and he only thought that tomorrow would be his death day.

Suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, and he said, "Hurry up, don't worry about beating grass and scaring snakes, you can't sit and wait for death. First, send people to Luo Zhai and Han Zhai to control Luo Youdu's family members, and control Han Tong and his family members." stand up."

At this moment of life and death, Zhao Kuangyin didn't care too much, and immediately arranged for his confidants to go to Luo Zhai and Han Zhai.

After waiting for half an hour, Luo Yanyu, who went to the Han's house, returned empty-handed: "The Han's house is already empty."

Fan Zhi was dumbfounded: "How could this happen?"

Even Han Tong was on guard, let alone Luo Youdu's Luo Zhai?

At this time, Luo Yanlu showed a little panic on his face, and said: "I passed Tianshui Lane on the way. I didn't see many patrolling soldiers from the Guards and Military Division on the street, which is a bit abnormal."

There is no curfew in Dazhou now.

Since the end of Tang Dynasty, the system of curfew has existed in name only.

Because it was too chaotic, the curfew policy of the imperial court could not be implemented smoothly at all, so they simply opened it up generously.

It is also true that the embryonic form of the night market was formed during this period of time.

Small shops selling fried food, snacks, and gadgets have sprung up like bamboo shoots after a spring rain...

Dazhou was governed by two generations of Guo Wei and Guo Rong, and the politics has become very stable. In order to maintain public order, a curfew was imposed for a period of time.

It turned out that the law and order was indeed improved, but the tax revenue was much, much less.

It's a bit of a loss.

After research and discussion, the court compromised with the tax and canceled the curfew again.

This Tianshui Lane is a well-known red-light district, crowded with noisy people, and it is a key area patrolled by the Guards.

Now the patrol soldiers in Tianshui Lane are gone, which is enough to show that someone is secretly gathering troops.

Besides Han Tong, who else has this ability?
Zhao Kuangyin's chest was heaving and unsteady. Looking at his hands, he felt that he was like a pawn. Wherever he went, he was always one step ahead of others, and he was at the mercy of others.

This feeling made him very manic.

Han Tong was already preparing to fight back, once Luo Youdu reacted, joining forces with Han Tong, the only thing waiting for him was death.

Slapping his hands violently on the face, Zhao Kuangyin's eyes flickered with madness, and said: "Lao Liu, continue to seal off the imperial city, no one can enter or leave, if someone attacks by force, try to defend... Yanyu, come with me."

Fan questioned, "Where is Commander-in-Chief going?"

Zhao Kuangyin said: "Go and kill Luo Youdu!"

The simple five words are full of domineering and decisive.

Fuck the fucking plot!

Fuck you, look around!

The world is big and the fist is the biggest.

In this world, the victor is king.

Fan Zhi said anxiously: "Didn't you plan to trap and kill him?"

Zhao Kuangyin mocked: "Do you think you can succeed?"

Fan Zhi was stunned all of a sudden.

They discussed and discussed, everything was agreed, and the plan seemed to be seamless.

In the end, it was a blow to the head, and the most important two living people, Empress Fu and Guo Zongxun, were robbed in the palace.

Can't play at all.

All calculations have become a joke.

Zhao Kuangyin said angrily: "Your brain is similar to mine. You are a pig's brain. You are restrained everywhere, and you are treated like a monkey. If you can't play with others, don't be ashamed. I stopped playing. Luo Youdu colluded with Han Tong to mutiny Rebellion, cooperating internally and externally, intending to overthrow the Great Zhou, I am now going to gather troops to punish the rebels."

He said striding away.

Fan Zhi stared blankly at Zhao Kuangyin's figure, a flash of light suddenly flashed in his eyes.

The current situation is like a chess game, playing games openly and secretly.

They are the most disadvantaged party, with few ways to survive.

Zhao Kuangyin's move directly overturned the chess game and muddied all the water.

What follows is bound to be a chaotic battle, and the one who survives will be the final winner.

Maybe win!

Fan Zhi respectfully bowed to Zhao Kuangyin and said, "Fan Zhi respectfully wishes the Commander-in-Chief a triumphant return!"

**********
The south bank of the Yellow River!

West of Huazhou City.

Zhou army barracks.

Luo Youdu did not rest, but was looking at a pile of information on the table, thinking about the duel with Fan Zhi tomorrow.

It is not difficult to win Fan Zhi, the real difficulty is how to involve Zhao Kuangyin.

How could Zhao Kuangyin be pulled off the horse by taking the opportunity.

Fighting against Fan Zhi is not the goal, Zhao Kuangyin is the real opponent.

Luo Youdu originally admired Fan Zhi. He had been prime minister in Dazhou for many years and had done many great things.

Guo Rong, a militant, was able to conquer Western Shu, fight against Southern Tang, and defeat Khitan in a short period of time. Fan Zhi contributed a lot.

But Luo Youdu couldn't understand or understand the series of operations after taking power.

The same is true in history, seeking skin with Zhao Kuangyin, but playing tricks to the Zhao family brothers, and finally making Zhao Kuangyi mock and owe Guo Rong a death.

But no matter what, Luo Youdu didn't take Fan Zhi to heart, all he thought about was how to take the opportunity to press Zhao Kuangyin to death.

At this moment, the voice of the guard came from outside the tent.

"Tongjun, Beijing has sent a horse riding post, please see me."

When Luo Youdu heard that the post was riding a horse, he didn't dare to be negligent, he put away the information in front of him, and said: "Ask him to enter the account."

Simply speaking, the post horse is the post messenger.

The post stations of the Five Dynasties were not as large as those in the Tang Dynasty because of the wars. They only had three classes: step, horse, and express delivery. The express delivery was the fastest, and it could travel four hundred miles a day. It was only used in emergency military situations or major events.

Among them, the post-riding horse is the name of the urgent messenger. There is a copper bell on the collar of the post-riding horse. When galloping on the road, it rings the bell during the day and raises the fire at night. It is not responsible for killing people.

This dispatching post and riding horses is the most important event.

Not long after, Yiyi rode into the tent on horseback, folded his hands together, and said, "Command the army to fold."

Luo Youdu curiously took the handbook, opened it for a closer look, and directly opened it for a closer look, but it was the handbook under the meeting hall, with six words written on the front, "Your Majesty is critically ill, return soon."

Looking at the folding hands, Luo Youdu's heart trembled, and there was an urge to leave immediately.

Immediately, doubts arose.

Without the series of news from Wang Pu and Zhao Pu in Beijing and the news from Fu Yu, Luo Youdu might not hesitate to lead the guards south at this moment.

As he got closer and closer to Bianjing, the depressive situation in Beijing was reflected in Zhao Pu's letters.

An urgent edict from the Council Hall in the middle of the night made him hesitate a bit.

In this situation, it is too dangerous for Qingqi to rush to Bianjing.

But if you really don't want to go, if there is nothing wrong with it and Guo Rong really wakes up, then it will be troublesome.

At that time, a hundred mouths will not be able to speak clearly.

"Why don't you just transfer the army back?"

This thought flashed through Luo Youdu's mind, but he dismissed it quickly.

It is too unreasonable to lead the army back, it is completely unreasonable...

"That's right! Sailors!"

Luo Youdu suddenly thought of the navy.

The road is dangerous, but the water is very safe.

Moreover, the boats go down the river, and marching at night is the most normal thing.

Walking with [-] sailors, no one can say anything about themselves.

"His Majesty!"

Luo Youdu let out a mournful cry, rushed out of the tent quickly, and shouted: "Come on, I want to leave immediately and return to Bianjing."

He got on the horse in a hurry, but seemed to be too eager, stepped on a gap, fell to the ground, hurt his hands and feet, and rolled on the ground in pain.

The surrounding guards were all stunned, and rushed to help him in a hurry.

Luo Youdu tilted his feet and wanted to get on the horse, but he couldn't get on, and was so anxious that he was sweating profusely.

Hu Yanzan, Cao Bin, and Pan Mei heard the movement and hurried over, seeing Luo Youdu's miserable appearance, they were all at a loss.

Hu Yanzan forcibly held Luo Youdu down.

Cao Bin said: "Commander, what's the matter?"

"Back to Bianjing, His Majesty is critically ill, and he wants to go back to Bianjing."

Compared with Guo Zongxun's flamboyant acting skills, Luo Youdu's acting skills are master-level, trembling with pain, and there are some tears in the corners of his eyes.

Hearing that Guo Rong was critically ill, there was a moment of silence around him.

Guo Rong, the emperor, also has a very high prestige in the Imperial Camp.

Especially in the hearts of Cao Bin and Pan Mei, both of them have been with Guo Rong.

Pan Mei stepped forward to rub Luo Youdu's feet, and said, "But how can Tongjun ride a horse like this?"

"By boat, yes!" Luo Youdu pulled Pan Mei and said, "You can't ride a horse, but you can take a boat. Let's go, take me to Biankou, I want to go back to Beijing by boat."

**********
At the junction of Kaifeng and Zhengzhou, there is a Dianqian army camp.

Zhao Kuangyin spoke impassionedly about Luo Youdu and Han Tong's crimes.

"The traitor Luo Youdu is highly valued by His Majesty, and he gave him a heavy responsibility. As a result, this thief took advantage of His Majesty's serious illness and wanted to do something against his minister. He sent someone to contact me yesterday, asking me to support his rebellion, and use His Majesty to grant us the power of guarding the palace. , Let me open the imperial city, so that he can easily enter the city, kill the king and proclaim himself emperor. After the matter is completed, he will make me the king of Zhao."

"Brothers, tell me, can I agree to this?"

Although in this era, the strong soldier is king.

But the emperor Guo Rong is still very popular.

Hearing what Zhao Kuangyin said, all the soldiers of the Dianqian Division were filled with righteous indignation, furious, and shouted in unison: "No, no!"

Zhao Kuangyin's voice suddenly rose: "I didn't say I couldn't..."

Whether it was the general or the soldiers of the Dianqian Division, they all looked at each other in blank dismay. No one would have thought that the Dianqian Division would suddenly say such a sentence.

All of a sudden, the morale that was excited, calmed down.

Zhao Kuangyin said: "I cut off his head directly."

In an instant, the mountains roared and the tsunami roared.

"Good kill!"

Zhao Kuangyin waved his hands down to silence the soldiers, and said with a sad smile: "I never thought that Luo Youdu, a thief, would also buy Han Tong, and the infantry commander of the guards' pro-military division. Now Han Tong is Luo Youdu's dog. Leading the guards to surround the imperial city and slaughter our brothers in front of the palace..."

Suddenly, his eyes were wide open, and he said loudly: "I wish I could eat the flesh of these two thieves and drink the blood of these two thieves!"

"Now Your Majesty and the saint are trapped in the imperial city. There are guards and army officers inside, and Luo Youdu, a thief outside, making trouble!"

"Brothers, we are alone now, do you dare to follow me to kill the thieves, and together with the brothers trapped in the imperial city, rescue your majesty and saint!"

"Chop off the heads of the two thieves, Luo Youdu and Han Tong, and hang them on the city of Bianjing."

The war drum was sounded again, mighty and majestic, full of killing spirit.So far, the atmosphere of the audience has reached its peak.

"Swear to kill Luo Youdu", "Fight to the end with Han Tong's dog thief".

The roars of the tens of thousands of soldiers present were one after another, deafening...

The commander in front of the hall is a rare elite in the world. Under the instigation of this atmosphere, his morale reached the peak, as if he could crush all enemies.

Zhao Kuangyin looked at this group of mighty and majestic troops under his command, with great pride in his chest, he shouted: "Let's go!"

The place where his stick was pointing was exactly where Luo Youdu's military camp was located.

Han Tong is just a clown.

Luo Youdu is the real enemy, as long as Luo Youdu is killed, as long as Luo Youdu's army is dispersed.

Then relying on the contacts of the old Zhao family, they can subdue many scumbags.

As for right and wrong!

Win, who cares? ?
