The first prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 50 Vortex Lure the Enemy
The reason why Zhao Xu was shocked was that he didn't care about the oath, but people in this era valued the oath very much.

It is very important to be able to say the oath of striking five thunders from the sky. The ancients believed in ghosts and gods very much, that is to say, they will definitely do what they say.

Zhao Xu's eyes were also a little moist. He used to treat these two as ordinary subordinates, but he didn't think that these two treated him like this.

He personally helped these two people up and called them brothers. Since then, these two people have become more sincere to Zhao Xu.

Li Chongjin who was sitting in the tent was still angry;

"Mom, why didn't I kill you last time? Your life is really big. Even gunpowder can't kill you. There will be another chance in the future."

Li Chongjin's eyes were full of fierceness. Fortunately, Zhao Xu was not here at this time, otherwise he would definitely have killed Li Chongjin on the spot.

Zhao Xu didn't know that Li Chongjin was going to kill him. At that time, he was still wondering why gunpowder, which was only available in the army, appeared on his way home.

Chai Rong had already arrived in Yongning Town and knew the news of Zhengyang's victory, but he still removed Li Gu from his post.

Appointing Li Chongjin as the deployment of the Huainan Thousand Army Camp, in fact, he replaced Li Gu's position.

Li Gu was appointed by Chai Rong to do things related to coming out of Shouzhou, which is actually a idle job, because Shouzhou is still a city in the Southern Tang Dynasty.

That is to say, there is no Shouzhou on the administrative map of Dazhou, which is a disguised punishment. Li Gu is also a smart man, he knows the emperor's intentions, and has no dissatisfaction.

Chai Rong ordered the soldiers who besieged Shouzhou to surround Shouzhou again, and he himself came to the city of Shouzhou.

Chai Rong camped on the south side of Feishui.Feishui is also known as Feishui, also known as Fei River. Its source comes from Jiangjunling between Feixi and Shouxian.

It is divided into two branches: those that flow to the northwest, after 200 miles, leave Shouxian County and enter the Huaihe River; those that flow to the southeast flow into Chaohu Lake.

There is a reason why Chai Rong chose to camp here. Chai Rong looked at the continuously flowing Fei River, his thoughts drifted to the distance, and suddenly he turned around:
"Do you know that there was a war here? What do you think of the result of Zhen and Da Zhou this time?"

Everyone knows that his emperor is talking about the Battle of Feishui.

The Battle of Feishui, which took place in 380 A.D., was a war waged by the former Qin Dynasty, the unified regime in the north, during the Eastern Jin Dynasty.

The former Qin who unified the north was not satisfied with the existing territory. In order to unify the world, he wanted to eliminate the Eastern Jin Dynasty and then unify the world.

So the former Qin Emperor Fu Jianqiang conscripted the people of all ethnic groups in the area he ruled, claiming that 80 troops sent troops to attack Jin.

The two sides fought at the Feishui River at the foot of the first place. In the end, under the command of the famous Prime Minister Xie An, the Eastern Jin Dynasty defeated the former Qin army with only [-] troops.

The unexpected result is that the absolute advantage of the former Qin Dynasty was defeated by the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and the country also declined and perished. All ethnic groups in the north broke away from the rule of the former Qin Dynasty and established sixteen small countries successively.

The Eastern Jin Dynasty took advantage of this Northern Expedition to push the border of the Eastern Jin Dynasty to the Yellow River, and there was no foreign invasion in the Eastern Jin Dynasty in the following decades.

It can be said that this battle had a great impact on the Eastern Jin Dynasty and the former Qin Dynasty.Now that the emperor asks this question, does he compare himself to Fu Jian in the former Qin Dynasty or Xie An in the Eastern Jin Dynasty?
According to the two sides in the Battle of Feishui, our Great Zhou attacked the Southern Tang Dynasty in order to unify the great cause. This is the former Qin Dynasty, and the Southern Tang Dynasty is like the Eastern Jin Dynasty.

But the result of the war... This is not yet a big battle, the emperor asked everyone this question, who dared to answer.

The answer is not good, and the emperor has not yet killed the flag. For a while, no one dared to speak, only the sound of gurgling water.

Zhao Kuangyin saw that no one was talking, so he took a step forward, and everyone thought that this was a stunned young man.

Although you are the emperor's favorite general and brother who worships you, you can't talk nonsense about this matter, just wait to be reprimanded by your majesty.

At any time, there are people who want to see other people's jokes. This is a common problem of human nature, no matter where it is.

But they failed in the end. Instead of blaming her, the emperor rewarded him. They didn't see Zhao Kuangyin's joke.

"Your Majesty is not Fu Jian. Your Majesty is a sage monarch. There is an emperor in the Five Dynasties who can compare to Your Majesty. Your Majesty loves the people like a son, and everyone supports him. How can he be compared to the blind Fu Jian of the former Qin Dynasty."

Zhao Kuangyin saw that Chai Rong didn't have any strange looks before continuing:
"Besides, the Southern Tang Dynasty is not the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and the Southern Tang Dynasty does not have the talent of Xie An, so His Majesty will definitely win the Southern Tang Dynasty in Feishui, paving the way for His Majesty to rule the world."

What kind of flattery is still very useful to people who know that it is a flattery, which is what Zhao Kuangyin said.

As an emperor, the most important thing is the world. Look at what Lao Zhao said, although it is a compliment, the emperor is very useful.

After hearing this, Chai Rong laughed, patted Zhao Kuangyin on the shoulder, and went back to the big tent in the army with him.

At this time, the people below reported that there were tens of thousands of people cruising on the Huaihe River in the Southern Tang Dynasty, and they were stationed at the foot of Mount Tu.

You are stationed at the foot of Tushan right under my nose, what if you come to attack me when I attack Shouzhou?
Besides, Tu Shan, Chuzhou, and Shouzhou formed a corner. Once they attacked Dazhou at the same time, Dazhou would really be dumped.

Chai Rong couldn't take it anymore, he must pull out this nail, who should he send?No one wants to send troops in person.

Why, because there are not many soldiers and horses that can be mobilized at this time.No one dared to lead the army easily, it would be another matter if they won't win, but if they won, it would damage their reputation.

At this time, Zhao Kuangyin stepped forward because he had something to do. All he could use was two thousand imperial troops, which meant that he would use two thousand troops to fight the tens of thousands of Southern Tang troops.

Everyone is not optimistic about Zhao Kuangyin, only Zhao Kuangyin thinks in his heart that he must win, which is also a way to prove himself.

Zhao Kuangyin led the troops and set off. Zhao Xu, who was still outside Shouzhou City, heard that his father only led 2000 troops, so he went to face Tushan's tens of thousands of horses.

He was not worried, he knew that the history of Haihuasi would develop according to its original track, and Zhao Kuangyin would definitely win.

Liu Qinhu and Dong Zhenhai also advised Zhao Xu:

"My lord, is it possible for Mr. Zhao to lead such a small number of troops to Tushan? Besides, it's a long-distance raid. Why don't we go too? The emperor won't blame us?"

"It's okay, my father will definitely win this time. Our imperial army is the emperor's pro-army, and we are not allowed to act rashly without the emperor's order."

Zhao Xu said with a smile.

"Just now I received an order from His Majesty, ordering us to feel that Feishui is on standby, so we are going to leave."

After speaking, he took the two of them to inform the troops and set off.

Here, Zhao Kuangyin set off from the direction of Shouzhou and went straight to Tushan in the northeast. The two thousand forbidden troops of the Zhou Dynasty marched towards Tushan with high spirits.

But with 2000 troops against tens of thousands of troops, it is not enough for one imperial army to kill ten. Besides, not everyone in the imperial army can count as ten.

Zhao Kuangyin also knew about this. Although he didn't have many books, he was familiar with the art of war.

These are not what he learned in military books, but what he learned in actual combat. He will never do anything head-to-head.

Fighting is not only about numbers, but more importantly, resourcefulness. After several years of training, Zhao Kuangyin has become an excellent general.He decided to win with odd.

Tushan, also known as Dangtu Mountain, commonly known as Dongshan, is the seat of the ancient Tushan Kingdom. It is said that it was originally a mountain. Dayu controlled the water and split the mountain into two, diverting the Huaihe River to flow from south to north.

It is also the place where Dayu married his wife and met the princes for the first time.Qishan is located in the western suburbs of Bengbu City, Anhui Province, on the east bank of the Huaihe River, facing Jingshan across the river.

It can also be said that it is a place that is easy to defend but difficult to attack. Zhao Kuangyin decided to set up an ambush at a place called Wokou in the southwest of Tushan.

After some investigation, he found that this place was an excellent place to set up an ambush, so Zhao Kuangyin decided to fight a battle here.

So he only sent more than a hundred imperial troops to challenge the army of Tushan Nantang, which was a bit like hitting a stone with an egg.

When the Southern Tang army saw that there were hundreds of Zhou troops, they immediately sent hundreds of people to fight, but they were defeated by the Zhou army.

There was no way to send more soldiers to besiege Zhou Jun, but when Zhou Jun saw so many people, he ran away immediately.

While running, they looked back at Tang Jun's movements. If Tang Jun stopped chasing him, they would immediately turn around and continue to harass Tang Jun.

After being harassed all day and night like this, Tang Jun was also annoyed by the harassment. He Yanxi was in Tushan's capital prison, and he couldn't sit still.

Going out of the camp gate, putting on the battle armor and stepping on the horse, he must kill all these Zhou troops, so that he didn't sleep all night.

He Yanxi was really angry, no matter whether there was a conspiracy or not, maybe it was because he just woke up, and he chased him out without any hesitation.

There were more than 1 men and horses behind, and the mighty Tang Jun could overwhelm these Zhou Jun in an instant.

But when Zhou Jun saw this, he immediately ran away. This time, Nantang was chasing after him, and he didn't relax at all.

And Zhou Jun shouted in horror while running for 100 years:

"There is an ambush in front of us, do you dare to come, I know you dare not hahaha." A Zhou Jun turned around and shouted, making faces.

If He Yanxi could keep a clear mind normally, now his brain is blinded by anger.

He didn't care about Zhou Jun's self-righteous reminder, and led more than 1 Tang soldiers to chase after him, and even beheaded several Zhou soldiers.

But Zhou Jun in front was still running desperately, He Yanxi was determined to catch these guys and tear them to pieces.

At this time, Zhou Jun was also panting after being chased, but they smiled triumphantly, and there was a vortex in front of them, so they kicked the horse's belly hard a few times.

The war horse under his crotch ran forward quickly with a whimper, and entered the ambush circle of the whirlpool ahead, where was the elaborate feast prepared by Da Zhou for Nan Tang.
