Han Hai Tang Ergui

Chapter 410
In the fifth year of Tianfu in the Later Jin Dynasty and the third year of the Khitan Huitong, it was June 940 AD.

After Zhang Zhao led the army to the local tyrants in Liner Prefecture, the capital of the Luotuoyan Conference, he immediately disbanded the Yin, Xia, You, Sui, Qing, Hui, and Wei Qizhou Dangxiang cavalry in Xiazhou. superior.

In early July, Zhang Zhao passed through Yanzhou and arrived in Lingzhou for the first time.

Zhang Xichong, the chief lieutenant of the school inspection and the Jiedu envoy of the Lingwu Army, was sick at the main gate, and greeted Zhang Zhao with the courtesy of a courtier.

Zhang Xichong, the envoy of the Lingwu Army, can be said to be a rare normal person among warriors in this era.

But in fact, what he is good at is not leading troops to fight, but stabilizing the place, and being a privy envoy or prime minister is the most suitable for him.

Historically, because Shi Jingtang betrayed Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures, Zhang Xichong shattered all the glory he had in leading the people back to the south. His hometown fell and could not be saved, and finally died of depression.

But in this time and space, although Zhang Zhao failed to prevent the Khitan from capturing the Yanyun Sixteen States, he showed the ability and desire to compete with the Khitan. Therefore, although Zhang Xichong suffered a serious illness, he did not die of depression.

For such a heroic figure, Zhang Zhao must of course treat each other with courtesy.

Zhang Xichong deserves Zhang Zhao's respect just because of Zhang Xichong's heroic spirit of not forgetting the country, not being a governor of Khitan, and returning south with 20,000 people.

Zhang Zhao took Zhang Xichong and Pei Yuan's hands and walked into the office of the Lingwu Army Jiedu envoy together. He first went to the back hall to meet Zhang Xichong's old mother and Pei Yuan's parents.

Especially Pei Yuan's parents, wife and children were rescued all the way from Tokyo, which was extremely thrilling.

If Zhang Liecheng hadn't mobilized the temples around Luoyang to cover him, Shi Chonggui would have almost discovered him.

After meeting their families to show their closeness, Zhang Zhaocai followed Zhang Xichong and Pei Yuan to the Jiedu Office of the Lingwu Army to meet the generals of the Lingwu Army.

The Lingwu Army currently has 8000 people, of which 1000 people have been assigned to Youzhou by Zhang Zhao, and 2000 people are still in Zhang Zhao's army.

Most of the remaining 5000 people are stationed in various places, and their combat effectiveness is not strong. There are less than 1000 people. They are commanded by a military commander named Wang Yanzhong, and they are fairly effective.

Zhang Zhao immediately rewarded all the soldiers and generals, established a new Shizhou in the north of Lingzhou, that is, in the area of ​​Shizuishan City in later generations, and appointed Wang Yanzhong as the envoy of Shizhou Town to lead the army to garrison.

Zhang Zhao had already received a report from Pei Yuan. This Wang Yanzhong was the leader of the Han army in Lingzhou, and he was always dissatisfied with his treatment.

Of course, it is also related to Zhang Xichong's temperament of admiring scholars and despising warriors. Wang Yanzhong felt that he was not valued, so he complained quite a bit.

This is a normal phenomenon, so Zhang Zhao didn't plan to do anything to Wang Yanzhong. Instead, he gave him the post of Shizhou town envoy, and also rewarded him with thirty pieces of colored silk and ten catties of tea and sugar.

If he can serve faithfully, he can be appeased. If there is still resentment, it is not too late to clean it up.

After the banquet, in the evening, Zhang Xichong and Pei Yuan came to Zhang Zhao's room. The old and the young came to persuade them to come in.

That's right!It is persuasion.

Because of Zhang Zhao's current situation, a somewhat funny King Han and Hexi Longyou Jiedu Ambassador are completely unsatisfied.

For example, he currently occupies the three states of Lingwu Jiedushi, the four states of Dingnanjun, Qingzhou belonging to Binning Jiedushi, Yuanzhou and Weizhou belonging to Jingyuan Jiedushi.

These places are not in Longyou Hexi territory, according to the rules, Zhang Zhao can't control these places.

Now there are only two choices, or Zhang Zhao will go to the court and continue to ask the imperial court to concurrently serve as the Jiedu Envoy of the Lingwu Army, the Jiedu Envoy of the Dingnan Army, and the Jiedu Envoy of the Qingyuan Army.

But this is just thinking about it, unless Zhang Zhao puts the knife on Shi Jingtang's neck, otherwise he will never agree.

Then there was only one choice left. Zhang Zhao followed Jingnan, Ma Chu, and Qian Yue and became an independent vassal state, calling himself the lord of the country, and even becoming a king like Later Shu, Southern Tang, and Southern Han.

Zhang Xichong said solemnly to Zhang Zhao: "Nowadays, the son has lost his virtue, especially when he issued an edict to let Wu Luan and others leave Yunzhou City, he has even lost the hearts of the world.

If the king does not let go of his hands and feet at this time, and still regards himself as a subject of the Central Plains, the road ahead will become more and more difficult.

It is also impossible to explain the actions of the king, as a minister of the country, to take down Lingwu, Dingnan, Qingyuan and other places. "

Pei Yuan also nodded, "This is the best opportunity, Your Majesty just took advantage of Shi Jingtang's loss of virtue to the world, and raised the banner of the Great Dynasty.

Explain that returning to the country after thousands of miles of return to the righteous army is to return to the great dynasty, not to be a generation of traitors seeking glory.

In this way, the shackles of the Guiyi Army can be released, and the hearts of the dissatisfied Khitan heroes can also be won. "

Guo Tiance was already very excited. If Zhang Zhao was to establish the country independently, then he must at least be one of the privy envoys, right?
"Your Majesty, time is waiting for you! You are already the younger brother of the Khitan Emperor, how can you be subservient to others? Or are you subservient to the emperor there?"

"Please, Your Majesty, enter the throne and lead us to restore the dynasty!"

As soon as the three persuaded them to enter, the generals behind them all started clamoring loudly, and Zhang Zhao looked in front of him.

Whether it's a general like Ma Yaozi, a confidant guard like Man Xiong and Dunzhu, or a fake like Murong Nobunaga and Li Cunhui, or even a general like Zhe Deyuan who counts outsiders, his eyes are sparkling .

As long as Zhang Zhao becomes the lord of the country, they can go one step further!It's not just that he, Zhang Zhao, is going to be the lord of the country, but that these people are waiting to be the founders of the country!
"Okay!" Zhang Zhao gritted his teeth. This is not the time to make concessions. At this time, we must express our attitude as soon as possible.

"Since all the ministers and workers recommend it, then our father will not be a courtier to Emperor Na'er, but let him call me uncle!"

Seeing that Zhang Zhao agreed, the crowd burst into cheers, and it was only then that Zhang Xichong stepped forward and presented an edict to Zhang Zhao.

"Two months ago, the imperial court dismissed the minister's Lingwu Jiedushi and Yuying's Lingzhou Inspector. Feng Hui, the new Jiedushi, has already led hundreds of soldiers here."

Only then did Zhang Zhao know that Zhang Xichong and Pei Yuan were serving him with an imperial decree and not obeying the edict, so he couldn't help but be greatly moved, but Zhang Zhao immediately took a deep breath.

But instead of taking a breath for Zhang Xichong and Pei Yuan, he was taking a breath for this guy named Feng Hui.

Where is this stupid boldness?

The Lingwu Army is like this, is it fake to be the tens of thousands of cavalry under the command of King Zhang Zhao?
Li Yiyin has tens of thousands of soldiers and horses in his hands. How dare he come to take office with a few hundred soldiers?

"Does Your Majesty know who Feng Hui is?" Zhang Xichong asked while looking at Zhang Zhao with a smile.

"I don't know yet, could there be some kind of heel?" When Zhang Zhao heard it, it seemed that there was something else going on, and he suddenly became a little interested.

Zhang Xichong stroked his beard, with a look of memory in his eyes.

"Feng Guangzhao is from Weizhou, he should be in his forties this year, and he had a few encounters with someone a few years ago.

He was born in the famous Wei Bo Yabing. He was originally a member of Yinqiang Xiaojiedu. He was a general of Yang Shihou at first, and later belonged to the former Emperor Li Keyong, and then rebelled to Houliang and became Wang Tieqiang Wang Yanzhang. Will.

After Zhuangmiao entered Luo, anyway, he participated in the pacification of the Yangli Rebellion in Luzhou and the battle to destroy King Shu.

Since the massacre of Wei Bojun, Feng Hui and his henchman Wu Jixing and others are the only remaining members of the Silver Gun Effect Festival who have achieved great achievements in the past. "

Good guy, this resume is really rich enough, he was born in the famous Wei Boya soldier, the famous silver gun effect Jiedu.

He has been with Li Keyong, and also with Wang Yanzhang. From the end of Tang Dynasty to the present, after Wei Bo Yabing was almost killed, Feng Hui can still survive until now.

"Has Your Majesty seen Feng Hui's temper?" Zhang Xichong asked with a smile.

"Whoever has milk is a mother! Isn't this Wei Bo Yabing's usual style?" Zhang Zhao said with a smile.

Zhang Xichong's face turned serious, "Your Majesty is right, Wei Boya soldiers are indeed mothers if they have milk, and because of this, they were slaughtered three times, and even their family members were killed.

But Feng Hui is different. He likes money, but he gets it in a proper way.

The other Wei Bo Ya soldiers committed murder because they didn't have enough money, but every time Feng Hui wrote down the reason respectfully, he would leave with his party members straight away, and never killed anyone randomly.

Although it has been repeated several times, it can still be reused, and its people are more talented, whether it is leading the army or governing the local area, they all have the means.

He is as brave as the king, and regrets that the mountains around him are all elites, and they are also born in a wealthy family. They can read and write poetry. "

"Oh? So that's the case! There are some tricks."

Zhang Zhao was really surprised. The so-called Emperor of Chang'an, Wei Bo Ya Bing, such bad breeds as the model of military democratization in the late Tang and Five Dynasties, can there be such an outlier as Feng Hui?

"Besides, the silver guns are so powerful in combat, and since the decline of the Tang Dynasty, there is no one comparable to them.

Zhu Liang relied on them to defeat Emperor Wu in Hebei, and Zhuang Miao also relied on them to break through Daliang and destroy the Zhu family.

Although the king's regrettable mountain is brave, but in terms of combat power, it is still a bit inferior. "

Zhang Zhao laughed a few times, he knew exactly how much he had, and how much Yan Jin, Ma Yaozi and others had.

His Sad Mountain Capital is armed with golden finger weapons such as cloth armor, magic arm bow, and pear flower gun, and is fed with generous treatment.

It can be called a rare and powerful army, but it is definitely not as good as a monster like a silver gun that can be called a war machine.

"Mr. Defeng is still concerned about a certain face!

The silver gun effect festival started from the powerful vassals in the world. Generals like Li Cunxiao and Wang Yanzhang could not help them. They could control the situation of the Liang and Tang dynasties. "

After finishing speaking, Zhang Zhao stared at Zhang Xichong, "Could it be that Mr. Defeng wants someone to recruit Feng Hui? How can Mr. Defeng not know that silver guns are always in violation of integrity?"

Zhang Xichong bowed to the end, and then said: "Of course the sharp weapon of the magic weapon must be held in the hands of the hero of the sky, and the silver spear is only followed by Luo Shaowei, Yang Shihou and other mediocre people, so it is natural to hurt others and oneself.

But Your Majesty is different, because of His Heavenly Power, Feng Hui and others are far away from their homeland. If you can make good use of these people, let them teach the method of spears and sticks and military formations, use their bravery and abandon their bad habits, then these people will be great. It will become a sharp sword in the hands of the king! "

Zhang Zhao's heart was moved. The biggest problem with Hexi's troops was that they had never fought against the top troops in the Central Plains. Neither the Dingnan Army nor the Lingwu Army were actually the strongest.

Now Zhang Zhao can basically confirm that the cavalry of Guiyi Army should be the top one at this time, but what about the infantry?Not sure.

The people under him are all from low backgrounds, Yan Jin, Ma Yaozi and others all climbed up at the rank of team leader, Zhang Zhao himself is even half-understandable.

To be able to mix until now, to be honest, a large part of it is because I have been abusing food.

With the constant arrival of fresh chickens, the Guiyi army has always had ample opportunities to level up, thus increasing their combat effectiveness enough.

But soon, he will embark on the journey of formally fighting for world hegemony, and he needs to improve the combat effectiveness of the Guiyi Army from all aspects. Thinking of this, Zhang Zhao stands tall.

"Then please invite Lord Defeng to go with me. Let's meet Feng Hui. If you really want to be talented, you must value him!"

Zhang Xichong was overjoyed, and knelt down on the ground, "I dare to ask the king for a favor!"

"But it doesn't matter!" Zhang Zhao pulled Zhang Xichong up and said.

"The Binning Jiedu envoy Jing Nan Junya General who followed He Chuan's rebellion in the past, and the Binzhou defense envoy Wu Yanwei and others were some township party members brought from Youzhou.

Although they are guilty, please ask the king to forgive them because they have a family and cannot return, and let them work for the king. "

Zhang Zhao remembered that the Wu defense envoy who followed He Chuan's rebellion and more than a thousand Jingnan troops were used as cannon fodder by him when he beat Li Congzhen, but not many people died at that time.

Zhang Zhao hated them for looting the land, and threw them to the high mountains of Shanzhou to eat the snow.

He originally said that he would not kill these people, so he let them destroy themselves.

But I didn't expect it to be brought by Zhang Xichong, yes!It seems that Zhang Xichong is the former envoy of Jingnan Army Binning Jiedu.

"Okay! When I return to Liangzhou, when a certain country is founded, I will pardon them."
