Warrior in Turbulent Han Dynasty

Guo Shao said, "Then Zhao Kuangyin was in the Northern Han Dynasty, and he unscrupulously vilified and abused the emperor's wife. After I destroyed the North Han Dynasty, I caught him and apologized to the emperor's wife."

Fu Jinzhan listened to him lightly, and smiled cooperatively at the moment, looking at Guo Shao's copper-colored face with a flowing gaze: "Is it like catching Meng Chang?"

"Zhao Kuangyin is different from Meng Chang. I can't forgive him." Guo Shao was also relaxed at first. As he spoke, his face gradually showed indignation. "He used to be my mortal enemy and threatened my life, family, and everything around me. People. I will get rid of them and hurry up! At the beginning, the situation in Tokyo was urgent and defeated. At that time, it was impossible to deploy the sky and earth nets and let this guy run away. Now it has become a great disaster.

He incited to provoke hidden dangers in the country and insulted the royal family. The last time an agent sneaked into Tokyo to try to steal military planes for an enemy country, I suspect he did it. Although this person has failed, his hatred has never been eliminated. "

Fu Ermei eloquently persuaded her by her side: "My husband calms down his anger."

Guo Shao was silent for a moment, and his anger faded a little, and then said: "I have asked the Privy Council to send someone into the Northern Han Dynasty to grasp the whereabouts of Zhao Kuangyin. If we can catch him this time, we must first let him taste the humiliation and fear. Then let him die!"

Fu Jinzhan faintly felt Guo Shao's brutal side, and he was not benevolent when dealing with Zhao Kuangyin's Yu Dang. However, he is usually a very generous person, and I heard that there is still a "woman's benevolence" evaluation in the military.

Fu Ermei also seemed to feel that the atmosphere was not right. The three fell silent and ate slowly.

Guo Shao finished eating and put down his chopsticks. Then he calmed down and said, "I have thought a lot about where to go now. In fact, we have enough. My decision to use troops against the Northern Han and Khitans was not entirely out of ambition and joy... …"

"What else?" Fu Jinzhan asked softly.

Fu Jinzhan was quite willing to listen to Guo Shaoqing’s thoughts. It was the emperor’s mind. Maybe he could no longer talk about his inner affairs except for himself... But Fu Jinzhan also really felt that between himself and Guo Shao The position has been reversed. Trust and affection have not changed, but now she is no longer in the active position; Guo Shao is no longer a subordinate of her and the Fu family, he has become the master.

"Safe." Guo Shao's voice made Fu Jinzhan, who was slightly distracted, come back to his senses.

Guo Shaodao: "There are nothing more than two types of forces that can pose a threat to our security. The first type is enemies with hatred, such as Zhao Kuangyin, and those who have always regarded Da Zhou as an enemy at the national level and believed that the Zhou Dynasty had robbed them. The Northern Han Dynasty (the descendants of the Later Han Dynasty). The second type is a force that is stronger than ours, such as the Khitan. They can oppress us and even coerce us into submission when they are strong. So if I stop here, I will feel uneasy."

...

At the southern gate of Jinyang (Taiyuan), Zhao Kuangyin turned his head and said to Li Jixun: "Guo Shao will attack the Northern Han Dynasty."

Li Jixun speeded up his horse and said, "Why is Brother Zhao so sure? Tiesmith Guo has just usurped the throne, why didn't he rule the country and dominate the world first?"

At this time they had reached the gate of the city, and a team of soldiers guarding the city stood at the gate. Zhao Kuangyin was silent, turned over and dismounted, leading the horse and a group of men to the city gate. He walked into the doorway and couldn't help but observe the city gate carefully.

The city wall is very thick. The bottom of the city wall at the gate is at least twenty steps (20 meters thick), so Zhao Kuangyin walked in as if he had entered a tunnel! The light in the cave was a bit dim, and the bright light outside the city gate was just ahead. At this time, Zhao Kuangyin seemed to see the sun again from the cave.

"Jinyang City is Xiongcheng!" Zhao Kuangyin casually praised.

After walking for a while, they left the city gate. After walking on the post road, there were not many people on the road, nor did they know them. Zhao Kuangyin said: "The Northern Han Dynasty has always been a deadly enemy of the Great Zhou, and the terrain hangs above the Central Plains; since the end of the Tang Dynasty for several generations, several new monarchs who replaced the previous dynasties are all envoys of Hedong Jiedu, Tokyo must respect Jinyang. It's a big trouble for the confidant. Besides, the danger of Jinyang lies in Xiongcheng. The first emperor (Chai Rong) defeated the Northern Han Dynasty and returned without success. He could not attack Jinyang City. Guo Tiejiang thought he was a sharp attack on the city. He didn't want to try?"

Zhao Kuangyin paused and said again: "Of course it is important to unify the world, but the two great powers of Shu and Southern Tang have disappeared, and it is no longer difficult to unify the world; other small countries cannot threaten and restrain the big Zhou. Those small countries cannot hold Guo Tiejiang’s northern expedition. Footsteps. As for governing the country? Brother Li thought, how else to govern?"

Li Jixun pondered and couldn't answer for a moment. After all, he was just a military commander, and he might rarely think about those things.

Zhao Kuangyin said: "In the present town of Jiezhen, the power to interfere in the government affairs of local officials has been taken back (an edict in Chai Rong's period, that Jiedu is forbidden to interfere in the government affairs of prefectures and counties), and all the elite soldiers have been taken away. Jiezhen has no power anymore. There is only one city left in the scope; if it is to be weakened, and only property rights are left, a transshipment agent can be set up to further recover the power of Jizhen to earn money. By then, Jidushi will really become an empty shell.

Guo Tiejiang’s throne is to pick the fruit of the first emperor! Since the Taizu and the first emperor, they have been restricting and weakening the local government officials, implementing the strategy of strong and weak branches; now in the Central Plains, the local festival towns cannot threaten Tokyo at all, and the central dominance has become in force when the first emperor. After Guo Tiejiang usurped the throne, the place had no strength, and there was no need to rush them. "

Li Jixun said, "So, Brother Zhao already knew that Li Yun could not achieve a major event?"

"Of course it can't be done, but he is an arrogant person who is so obedient this time and tuned in obediently. I was not sure at the beginning." Zhao Kuangyin said.

Knowing that I can’t do anything, why bother to instigate Li Yun, everyone stopped mentioning it... because Zhao Kuangyin and others are very dissatisfied with Guo Shao, and resent them!

Zhao Kuangyin sighed: "It was also because of Guo Shao's successive destruction of the two countries and the might of force. It is estimated that Li Yun was also a little afraid of this person who was too able to fight. Therefore, from the perspective of Guo Shao's regime, the stability of the position currently depends not on weakening the place, but on further Increase power; these are the reasons I judge Guo Shao to continue to attack the Northern Han Dynasty."

He thought for a while, then said in deep thought: "Guo Shao's threat is not the local festival town, but the generals of the Forbidden Army!"

Li Jixun nodded and said yes.

Zhao Kuangyin said coldly: "Guo Shao usurped the throne of the son of the first emperor as a general of the Forbidden Army; the Forbidden Army is dominant, and the generals are still strong. If there is a threat to the throne, only the General of the Forbidden Army is the only place that Guo Shao is focusing on now. , But the generals around him."

Li Jixun said: "I haven't heard the news so far. The Zhou court wants to weaken the generals of the Forbidden Army."

Zhao Kuangyin said: "I guess that servant (Guo Shao) is already overwhelmed. Maybe he will want to take Yanyun sixteen states."

"Tsk tut." Li Jixun said, "I am so ambitious."

Zhao Kuangyin hummed: "I'm just guessing, but the most likely thing to see is that Guo Shao will try to weaken the generals of the imperial army. In the throne, can you rest assured that those who might replace them? He also has to think about how he usurped the throne."

After talking for a long time, they rode their horses to a pass, and saw some soldiers from the Northern Han Dynasty looking at a few people who were in the dust. One of the big-bellied guys saw Zhao Kuangyin and hurriedly shouted: "Master! Master!"

"Li Dutou is back." Zhao Kuangyin responded.

Li Du said, "I have a seal on my body, but the people in the Northern Han Dynasty heard me have a wrong accent, and they didn't say I was a spy. I was sent here, and I just waited for the lord to come and rescue me."

Zhao Kuangyin stepped forward to negotiate with the military commander of the Northern Han Dynasty, and showed his name on the seal. The military commander of the Northern Han Dynasty looked at him and immediately believed him, because after all, Zhao Kuangyin had been the No. 2 general of the Great Zhou imperial army, and his reputation was quite good. The Northern Han Army knew that he had come to Jinyang and looked dark. It's easy to recognize.

Zhao Kuangyin took away with him to get out of Li Du and the others. He observed that the first three of Li Du were his own soldiers, and a middle-aged man was a stranger, so he asked, "Is this a craftsman proficient in armor making?"

After hearing this, Li Du's face darkened, and he sighed "Oh" and recounted the process of the trip. How to encounter an accident in Tokyo, how to be chased and intercepted; almost unable to cross the Yellow River, temporarily forced to find a broken ship to force the crossing...

"The storm was strong that night, and the child was in my hands. I almost didn’t get bumped into the river and accidentally dropped the child into the water. The boy was in a hurry, and he broke free and leaned on the side of the boat to get people, but was also lifted by the waves. Into the river... the Yellow River was so muddy and urgent that it drowned people in an instant! We only have one broken ship, how can we save it? When we reach the other bank, the person who fell into the water may have drowned long ago, and there is nothing to do. South Bank Zhou's army and officials chased him tightly. They didn't dare to look back, so they had to rush back."

Zhao Kuangyin looked very ugly in his eyes, but his face couldn't change because it was too dark. He kicked the stirrups and said immediately: "Now let's have an extra charge!"

Li Du said hurriedly: "Humble duty deserves to die, it has broken the lord's major event... but at that time it was really compelling."

"I asked you to sneak into Tokyo and slowly look for opportunities. It's good for you, and it took less than a month before and after! You martial artists are too impatient~www.readwn.com~..." Zhao Kuangyin said, "Yes. It’s not something that can collapse the sky. Anyway, our feud with Guo Tiejiang has been forged long ago. There will be no more for more and no more for less. Remember, Guo Tiejiang will never give us people a way to survive. ! Think about the brothers who stayed in Tokyo that year. What happened?"

Everyone looked sad.

Zhao Kuangyin pointed to the man detained in the middle and asked, "What did you bring back this person for?"

Li Dutou almost cried out: "He works as a handyman in the workshop..."

Zhao Kuangyin looked at Li Dutou seriously: "Are you serious about bringing such a person back all the way?"

Shi Shou next to him said: "Knock that guy on the spot!"

The craftsman surnamed Lu was anxious and said, "I have seen something that makes armor, and I know what it looks like!"

Zhao Kuangyin gave a wink, and the next one stepped forward to ask questions, but he didn't know one question, and he didn't even know the characters!
