Aspiring to the Ten Kingdoms

Chapter 72 The Most Regretful Thing
Du Yuhou Mansion.

Martial Arts Arena!
Zhao Kuangyin stood upright like Yuan Tingyue, he circled the iron rod in his hand, and suddenly slammed it into the head, just a simple upward and downward strike, unexpectedly made a sound like an explosion piercing through the air.

With a sound of "Puff", the iron stick was three feet away from the ground, but the strong wind from the stick hit the ground with a whistling sound, kicking up a cloud of dust.

Zhao Kuangyin's eyes were full of murderous intent, the iron rod hovered left and right, the shadow of the rod was heavy, the sound of piercing through the air was like a ghost whistling, and the strong wind whipped up gusts of wind and waves, unexpectedly forming small tornadoes, rolling up dust and sand on the ground.

The iron rod suddenly barreled forward, and accurately penetrated into the hollow of the ring handle of the stone lock on the right side. With a flick of the wrist, the twenty-jin stone lock rose into the air.

"middle!"

The iron rod circled and danced in his hand, and with a cry, it hit the center of the stone lock.

Vigorous strength poured out.

The stone lock exploded directly.

Putting the iron stick on the ground, Zhao Kuangyin let out a long breath.

Zhao Kuangyi, who arrived at the side without knowing when, handed over the sweat towel.

Zhao Kuangyin took it with his hand, wiped it on his face indiscriminately, and hung it on his shoulder.

Regarding his brother, Zhao Kuangyin ignored any manners, directly put the two stone locks upright, and sat on a stone lock.

Zhao Kuangyi also sat down beside him and asked, "Who offended brother?"

He knew his elder brother, whenever he was upset, he would practice martial arts like this, venting all his unreasonable thoughts through sticks.

Zhao Kuangyin didn't answer the question, just looked up at the sky, and said after a while, "It's just that I feel uncomfortable in my heart!"

Zhao Kuangyi showed a hint of mockery at the corner of his mouth, and asked with certainty: "Is it Luo Youdu?"

Western battle reports have arrived in Kaifeng, Bianjing.

For such a brilliant victory on the front line, Guo Rong looked at the battle report and said six "good" words in one breath.

The civil servants of the Manchu Dynasty were in an uproar.

The generals of the Manchu Dynasty were silent for a while.

Not long ago, they heard that the war in the west was unfavorable, and the Council and the Privy Council had the intention of withdrawing troops.

For this reason, their generals even gloated over other people's misfortunes, and secretly released rumors that the reason for the failure on the front line was that Luo Youdu was holding back.Otherwise, with the abilities of Wang Jing and Han Lingkun, it would be easy to recover the land of the four states.

Unexpectedly, in a short period of time, the military situation has undergone earth-shaking changes.

The four prefectures were won one after another in just over a month, and Luo Youdu, whom they looked down upon, actually shined brilliantly. In Fengzhou, he wiped out almost twice as many enemies with his weak force, forcing the enemy general to commit suicide.

The battle reports from Wang Jing and Han Lingkun also praised Luo Youdu's performance.

The slap came so fast.

The biggest habit of literati is to flatter.

Luo Youdu is one of the few civil servants who have made military achievements since the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty. He has received unanimous praise, boasters spread all over the court and the public, and his reputation is loud. He has the momentum of a new generation of Confucian generals.

And Zhao Kuangyin was born brave, his martial arts are the best in the three armies, and he has great ambitions.Since he joined the army, he has made up his mind to show off his ambitions, become a general and a prime minister, and become an eternal figure who can be compared with Li Jing and Su Dingfang.

In the Battle of Gaoping, he got an opportunity and seized the opportunity, and successfully entered the ranks of senior generals in the Great Zhou Dynasty.Although the status of the Dianqian Division is lower than that of the Guards' Guards Division, which governs most of the Forbidden Army, the Forbidden Army under its jurisdiction is the emperor's personal guard, and he has naturally become one of Guo Rong's most trusted generals, and even entrusted all the Forbidden Army to him Training is the first step to success.

Although Da Zhou has many generals with higher status than him, not many can fall into Zhao Kuangyin's eyes.

Because when one reaches a certain position, politics will never be avoided.

A military general who does not understand politics will never be able to become a general.

Compared with most military generals who do not understand politics, Zhao Kuangyin's own political talent is exceptionally outstanding.

Therefore, in Zhao Kuangyin's eyes, the only real opponents are Li Chongjin, Zhang Yongde, and Li Yun.

These people are currently the top generals in the Great Zhou, and their status cannot be compared with the current Zhao Kuangyin.

But compared to these people, Zhao Kuangyin knew that he had a unique advantage, and that was Guo Rong's direct lineage.

Li Chongjin is the nephew of Zhou Taizu Guo Wei and the son of Princess Fuqing.

Zhang Yongde is the son-in-law of Zhou Taizu Guo Wei.

Li Yun is the best friend of Zhou Taizu Guo Wei, and also a servant of the Great Zhou Liguo.

This kind of people are old ministers left behind by the former emperor Guo Wei, most of them are founding meritorious service and do not belong to Guo Rong's own direct line.

Since the Battle of Gaoping, Guo Rong has been wooing him, giving him many promises, and even vaguely revealing that he will replace Zhang Yongde and take charge of the Forbidden Army.

Zhao Kuangyin is also full of expectations for the future.

Until now Luo Youdu turned out to be born.

Zhao Kuangyin discovered that an existence that he had easily trampled to death had received such a high praise and evaluation, surpassing himself who had shined in the Battle of Gaoping.

In particular, Guo Rong's overrated praise made Zhao Kuangyin feel a lot of resistance in his heart.

He saw that Guo Rong wanted to raise Luo Youdu to suppress generals, thinking that one day, Luo Youdu would step on his head.The personality that has always been unwilling to be reconciled to the queen inevitably gave birth to a rebellious mentality, and said to his younger brother jokingly: "I didn't punch him to death at that time, maybe it was the thing I regret most in my life."

When Luo Youdu took Zhao Kuangyi away in front of him, he was murderous.

It's just that he thought that Guo Rong didn't like military generals who were too arrogant, thought that Luo Youdu should have someone behind him, thought that Luo Youdu might be an abandoned son who was used to intensify the conflict, and the purpose was to make Guo Rong further realize that their generals' purpose was beyond their reach. Ji, arrogant and reckless.

Faced with this complicated relationship, Zhao Kuangyin chose to endure.

In the end, he discovered that all this was an illusion deliberately created by Luo Youdu. The other party took advantage of his political knowledge and took Zhao Kuangyi away in front of him.

Judging from the results, Luo Youdu's handling is not bad.

Zhao Kuangyin was open-minded and didn't feel that he was being teased. Instead, he thought that the other party was worthy of friendship and might be an assistant in his official career, so he graciously brought Zhao Kuangyi to his door to thank him.

Zhao Kuangyin never imagined that Luo Youdu, a civil official, would actually break into their territory after gaining power, and even made military exploits, becoming Guo Rong's trump card for using literature to control military affairs.

This difference in thinking made him have a competitor who could step on his head at any time in his official career, even the open-minded Zhao Kuangyin felt bored and panicked.

Zhao Kuangyi said with emotion: "What's the use of talking about it now? It's only been half a year... Half a year ago, brother killed him, it was as easy as crushing an ant. Now we can't touch him."

Zhao Kuangyin said solemnly: "Then we brothers, work harder, it is really unbearable for a latecomer to step on the shoulders of you and my brother."

Zhao Kuangyi snorted softly, "Who were you and my brother afraid of when we teamed up?"

Zhao Kuangyin laughed loudly: "It makes sense! Life is boring even if everything goes smoothly, but now that you have an extra opponent, it's exciting."

Zhao Kuangyi rolled his eyes and said, "It's really not a skill to win Meng Shu. My enemy is still Nantang. If you want to regain the initiative, you and my brother must not miss this opportunity. At the same time, we must not let him get this opportunity." Chance."
