The first prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 27 The End of Zhao Jizha

Meng Chang looked up to the sky and sighed while heartbroken:
"I also know that the abilities of the two of them are limited, but who else can serve the country besides them?"

Meng Chang acted like I already knew that the two of them couldn't do it, but the country had no choice but to use them when it needed people.

As soon as Meng Chang's words fell, Zhao Jizha immediately flattered him, it should be a big flattery, and Meng Chang felt ecstatic in an instant.

At this moment, Zhao Jizha took the opportunity to push himself out, saying that he could completely replace them in serving the Kingdom of Shu.

Meng Chang's talents are limited, but he's not too stupid. He knows that Zhao Jizha is flattering, but he can really do things, no!

But after Zhao Jizha memorized "Sun Tzu's Art of War" in front of him, Meng Chang was a little shaken!

When Zhao Jizha once again revealed that his ancestor was Zhao She in the Warring States Period, Meng Chang gave up insisting and immediately removed Han Jixun and Shi Wandi from their positions.

Zhao Jizha, who was "after the famous general", was appointed as the military supervisor of the Xiongwu Army, and he was in charge of the military forces of Qin, Feng and other four states, and encouraged him to serve the country well.

Zhao Jizha immediately assumed the position of the highest local military general.

Lao Zhao's happy mouth almost went behind his ears this time, and he really deserved to memorize "Sun Tzu's Art of War" backwards.

Now Lao Tzu is also a powerful official in the frontier, let's celebrate!

When Lao Zhao returned home, he would have a big banquet for the guests, so as to save others from knowing.

Just like that, he went to the border slowly after a few days. The most amazing thing is that he brought a few concubines with him.

Meng Chang, who was having fun in the palace, didn't know this, but he was still a little worried.

Ten days later, Meng Chang dispatched Wang Zhaoyuan from the Privy Council to arrange troops in the two prefectures...

When Zhao Jiza went to Qinzhou to take office in a hurry, Wang Jing led the army to Sanguan in Shanxi in May of the second year of Zhou Xiande.

Wang Jing ordered the troops to speed up, and soon crossed Sanguan Pass and entered the territory of Qinzhou.

Without hesitation, he immediately asked the troops to rest where they were, and they were not allowed to burn fire for cooking, and only ate the dry food he carried with him.

The Fengxiang Army was trained by him, and they carried out Wang Jing's orders meticulously.

The two prison guards didn't know the reason, so they came forward to ask Wang Jing what was going on.After some explanation from Wang Jing, they finally understood.

Wang Jing wanted to take the opportunity to sneak attack on the Yellow Bull Fort ahead. According to the information from the front, the Yellow Bull Castle's defense was extremely lax.

The general guard there was an incompetent man, and he only got a post of general guard with Wang Zhaoyuan's help because he had bribed Wang Zhaoyuan, an important minister of Hou Shu, with a lot of money.

He himself doesn't have much military talent, so he was asked to guard Qinzhou's first pass. It seems that Meng Chang's head was really caught by the gate.

In fact, there is another important reason. At this time, Li Song (a good friend of the good friend) who is the guard of Huangniu Castle is enrolling.

This guy is almost forty now, and today he is going to marry a concubine who is less than 13 years old. I don't know how many times he has been admitted to the imperial examination.

This guy has a hobby, he likes to play with young and beautiful women, he can't marry a concubine for more than a month.

When he gets bored, he will quit, or reward his subordinates to play with. Up to now, not many girls have been played to death by them.

This concubine was recently snatched from a nearby village!

At that time, the woman's parents did not agree, so he killed him with a knife.

This was not over yet, he also ordered soldiers to surround the village and ordered that all men, women and children in the village be burned alive.

The method can be described as extremely cruel, it may be that he often does this kind of thing, he has no influence on him at all, and he will hold a worship ceremony when he goes back.

I really don't know this old guy, this is the first time he's been a groom, and he seems to be addicted to being a groom, so he's starting to mess around again.

He also sent out wedding invitations widely, inviting his friends to come to congratulate him. Among them, the guards of the seven nearest military villages must be invited.

The eight of them are sworn brothers, and rely on each other, and more importantly, they have the same stink.

In response to the saying that things of a kind flock together and people are divided into groups!

This guy, Li Song, didn't know whether he drank too much this time, or he was too smart, but he got into his head and gave the night watchman a lot of alcohol and meat.

The soldiers who didn't keep watch all drank all over the place, lying on the ground in a mess, and the whole Yellow Bull Fortress became an unguarded army stronghold.

When the Great Zhou army came, there were many local people who wanted to serve as guides for the Great Zhou army.

They hated Li Song so much that they gritted their teeth, and now that Da Zhou sent troops to recover Qinzhou, they were all overjoyed.

They revealed an important message to Wang Jing and the others, that tonight was Li Song's big day, and suggested that Wang Jing and the others could pretend to be banquet organizers and get involved.

Wang Jing felt that it was feasible, so he sent a few people to the Yellow Bull Castle with the local old farmers, and assembled an army to attack at any time.

It didn't take long for the scouts to come back, and the information they reported made Wang Jing, Xiang Xun, and Zan Jurun very surprised and very happy!

All the people in the Yellow Ox Castle fell down, isn't this too ridiculous?

Even when the army celebrates its victory, the guards should be left behind, right?

Is this Li Song stupid or stupid?The three chief generals in the Zhou army felt incredible.

Waking up from the shock, Wang Jing, the eldest among the three, made a decisive decision and entered the Yellow Bull Castle!

He was also dumbfounded once he entered the Yellow Bull Castle:
The entire Yellow Bull Fort was filled with the smell of alcohol, and there were soldiers lying all over the ground. The soldiers of the Fengxiang Army would have fought many battles, but it had never been like this time.

It was effortless at all, and even the weapons were saved, and the victory was won.

Wang Jing found ropes and asked the soldiers to tie up all these people.

When the soldiers found Li Song, he was already drunk and collapsed under the table. I have never heard of anyone who was newly married drinking like this.

Of course, there were a few soldiers in the middle who woke up, and before they had time to shout out, their heads had already been chopped off by Zhou Jun.

When everyone woke up in the cold wind, they found that they couldn't move, and there were soldiers from Da Zhou standing around them.

At this time, Li Song was so scared that he peed his pants, he really was an idiot!

What a shame.

Wang Jing spat hard and said.

After some interrogation, I learned that there are actually seven other generals guarding the military village here!
At this time, Wang Jing's eyes rolled and he had an idea.

Then the soldiers of Da Zhou took advantage of the absence of the general guards and the chaotic command of the other seven military strongholds, and directly occupied the other seven military strongholds.

Later generations recorded that Wang Jing, the envoy of Fengxiang Jiedu in the Later Zhou Dynasty, was ordered to attack Qinzhou in Later Shu. On the first day of May in the second year of Xiande in the Later Zhou Dynasty, Wang Jing arrived at Sanguan.

Then he ordered the soldiers to raid Huangniu Castle, captured the defender Li Song alive, and then captured the seven neighboring military strongholds with lightning speed.

That is to say, within one day, Wang Jing captured eight military strongholds including Huangniubao in Houshu, and Wang Jing's prestige resounded throughout Houshu.

Wang Jing was not dazzled by the temporary victory. While reporting his victory to Emperor Chai Rong, he ordered the army to continue to advance to Qin and Fengzhou.

At this time, we have to mention our Zhao Jizha, Supervising Army Zhao, who is still on his way to Qinzhou.

Our proud Zhao Jizha is still dreaming of his dream of plundering, and he has already plundered an unknown amount of gold and silver treasures along the way.

He walked very slowly on the road, staying at the post station every time, waiting for the local officials to visit, and of course he was filial to them.

Along the way, his purse became more and more bulging, and his expression became more and more excited. The laughter of him and his concubine kept coming from the carriage.

This is not going to war, it looks like he is traveling in mountains and rivers, how can he bring a concubine with him to the front line, this Zhao Jizha is really weird. .

Zhao Jizha, who was proud of the spring breeze, dragged his feet along the way, and arrived in Deyang after more than ten days.

This is a place that can be reached in two days at most, but this lazy guy actually walked for half a month, what a talent.

As soon as he arrived in Deyang, he heard that Hou Zhou's army had arrived on the battlefield, and it was so powerful that it broke through eight military strongholds including Huangniubao in one fell swoop.

Now heading towards Qinzhou, Qinzhou, isn't that where I'm going?What can I do?Zhou Jun's brave progress scared him so much that he didn't dare to move on.

He likes money, but he understands better that no amount of money is useless when life is gone.

So he hurriedly sent someone back to Chengdu with a lot of money to give gifts to those high officials in advance, so that they could speak good words for him so that he could go back.

At the same time, he cursed in his heart that those high-ranking officials with good looks were greedy vampires, and he didn't know how he knew this word, but he just used it.

This group of vampires didn't know why the lions opened their mouths. My "income" this time may have fallen into their pockets for no reason.

Zhao Jizha was really not reconciled in his heart, he had earned it through hard work, and it was hard work, and everyone despised him.

But for the sake of his life, he reluctantly gave away most of his money.

At the same time, he wrote to Meng Chang, saying that he had a disease and was afraid of delaying military affairs.Ask for dismissal.

While sending the memorial, he asked the army to escort his concubines and actors back to Shu.

And he hurried back to Chengdu by himself. When his memorial arrived in Chengdu, Zhao Jizha had already arrived in Chengdu.

Zhao Jizha returned to Chengdu alone. Everyone thought that the Houshu army had suffered a defeat on the front line, and the whole city fell into panic.

Meng Chang then asked about the front-line warfare, but Zhao Jizha couldn't answer anything.Meng Chang was very angry and directly arrested Zhao Jizha and put him in prison.

Within a few days, Meng Chang killed Zhao Jizha in order to quell public anger and boost morale.

Then Meng Chang dispatched Li Tinggui, the commander of Pengsheng Controlling Hedu and Baoning Jiedu envoy, as the leader of the North Route Army.

The commander of the Zuowei Holy Infantry, Gao Yanchou, served as the envoy, Lu Yanke, the governor of Wuning, served as the deputy general of Li Tinggui, and Zhao Chongtao, the envoy of the Hakka Province, served as the supervising army, and rushed to support the front line.

He rushed to Qinzhou in a mighty way, and the poor Zhao Jizha turned around and lost his life, but this was not a bad idea for Hou Shu.
