Chapter 1390 Can Act
In desperation, Guo Wei had no choice but to pass the throne to Chai Rong, that is, Zhou Shizong.
At that time, a small monarch, Liu Chong, the Lord of the Northern Han Dynasty, heard that Zhou Shizong had just succeeded to the throne, so he wanted to take advantage of the fire to loot. He personally led 30,000 elite soldiers and strong generals and joined 10,000 Liao cavalry to invade Gaoping.
Zhou Shizong, surnamed Chai and named Rong, was the nephew of Guo Wei's wife and adopted son of Guo Wei.
Because Guo Wei had no sons, Chai Rong was able to ascend the throne.
At that time, Shizong was young and strong, and he was proficient in military affairs. When Guo Wei was alive, he was granted the title of King of Jin and concurrently served as a servant, in charge of internal and external military power.
When Chai Rong received the urgent report from the north, he did not panic. He immediately led the imperial army and traveled night and day. In less than two days, he arrived in Gaoping.
It happened that the Han army was swarming in, and I saw that the Han army was strong and strong, and the Liao cavalry were like tigers with wings, and they seemed to be encroaching on the mountains and rivers!
Zhou Shizong's army moved forward, and the two sides set up their camps. There was nothing to say, and a fight was imminent!
In less than a few rounds, suddenly a group of men and horses jumped out of Zhou Bing's camp, and they turned out to surrender to the Han army!
They disarmed and abandoned their weapons, shouting along the way: "I am willing to surrender, please spare my life!"
About a thousand infantry also followed, willing to be captives.
Zhou Shizong took a closer look and found that the generals who led the crowd to surrender were Fan Aineng and He Hui.
Zhou Shizong couldn't help being furious and furious, and immediately stood out from the camp, leading his army to chase, shouting and killing!
Liu Chong, the Lord of the Han Dynasty, saw that the Lord of Zhou had personally led his troops to kill him, so he ordered hundreds of crossbowmen to shoot arrows together, trying to pierce his heart with thousands of arrows.
The guards around Lord Zhou hurriedly used shields to protect him, and the shields were instantly filled with arrows, densely packed!
Zhao Kuangyin was in the middle army at this time. Seeing that Lord Zhou was in a critical situation, he said to his soldiers: "If the master is humiliated, the servants will also be humiliated; when the master is in danger, the servants will follow to die. Should we stand by and watch?"
After saying that, he rode his horse and jumped out, holding a stick to the sky, and charged towards the enemy formation! Not to be outdone, all the generals swarmed up, no matter what the arrows were like raining like rain, just kill the enemy and the savior.
These dozens of fierce generals and thousands of elites worked together to kill the enemy troops and they all retreated and fled.
The next day, Zhou Shizong led his troops to attack the city, and the city was unable to attack for a long time with arrows flying like rain, resulting in heavy casualties.
Zhao Kuangyin took the lead and attacked with fire. The soldiers on the city panicked and shot arrows to defend.
In an instant, thousands of arrows were fired, and Zhao Kuangyin was hit by an arrow in his left arm, bleeding profusely. After returning to the camp to bandage up, he wanted to attack again.
Lord Zhou saw that he was injured, and it was not a long-term solution to station troops under the city, so he withdrew his troops and returned to Biandu.
Because of Zhao Kuangyin's meritorious service in protecting the lord and his bravery in battle, he was promoted by the lord of Zhou to be the Marquis of Duyu and concurrently served as the governor of Yanzhou.
At this time, on a high mountain not far away, red light and golden light intertwined together, and then turned into an incomparably gorgeous light!
next moment!
In the light, two little dolls actually appeared!
They are all about three or four years old, with fair faces and tender skin, and even their appearances are exactly the same.
The only difference is that one is wearing a red apron and is barefoot, while the other is wearing a golden apron and is also barefoot.
They looked at each other with sly smiles in their eyes.
Then, they clapped their hands together and said with a smile:
"Hey, we can act now! I want to possess Zhao Pu!"
"I, I can only..."
······
In Zhao Kuangyin's camp, a counselor came, and Zhao Kuangyin talked with him very speculatively.
This counselor was later the founding father of the Song Dynasty, the prime minister of the Taizu and Taizong dynasties, and later the Wei Guogong Zhao Pu.
Zhao Pu, courtesy name Zeping, was originally from Youzhou.
He moved to Luoyang because he avoided the war, and he knew Zhao Kuangyin at first. Later, he was recommended by Fan Zhi, the Prime Minister of the Zhou Dynasty, to Chuzhou.
Meeting an old friend in a foreign land, the two were very excited and chatted all night.
But when the sky was about to dawn, Zhao Pu suddenly felt dizzy, and then!
His body froze, Zhao Kuangyin only saw a red light falling down, covering Zhao Pu's whole body!
However, after that, Zhao Pu did not behave strangely.
However, he stopped talking.
Coincidentally, Zhao Kuangyin's subordinates were ordered to clean up the town and captured hundreds of villagers. These people were accused of being robbers and were about to be executed in the street.
"Brother Zhao, how do you think these people will be dealt with?"
Zhao Pu rolled his small eyes, looked at them, and suddenly smiled.
"Behead them all without interrogation. If you wrong a good person, wouldn't it be a waste of life?"
Zhao Kuangyin said with a smile: "You scholar's views are too pedantic. You must know that the people here are all captives. I pardoned them all, which is an extrajudicial favor. Now they dare to be robbers who rob houses. If they are not strictly How can we establish prestige if we add punishment?"
Zhao Pudao: "Although the Southern Tang Dynasty is an enemy country, what is the crime of the people? Besides, Duke Ming has always had great ambitions and wanted to unify the Central Plains. Why did he distinguish between the enemy and us so clearly? The king's way is nothing more than a word 'benevolence', and hope Minggong, think twice!"
Zhao Kuangyin thought he was wordy, so he had to deal with it: "If you are not afraid of hard work, I will leave it to you for interrogation."
Zhao Pu took over the cases and investigated them one by one. He found that most of the people had no evidence to prove that they were robbers, so he reported to Zhao Kuangyin that all the people were released except those with solid evidence who were convicted.
This move made the people quite happy, and they all praised Zhao Kuangyin for his generosity and kindness. After this incident, Zhao Kuangyin believed more and more in Zhao Pu's foresight, and would definitely consult with him whenever he had doubts.
Of course, Zhao Pu is also extremely loyal, knowing everything and saying everything.
Zhao Kuangyin felt that after having Zhao Pu, he could make suggestions for everything.
The only thing is, sometimes he will show a sly smile, which makes people's skin crawl.
Next, Zhao Kuangyin led hundreds of warships to set off, and the wind went smoothly.
The army marched to Yingzhou and Mozhou, and the soldiers and people of the Liao Kingdom were unprepared. When they suddenly saw Zhou Bing coming, they were frightened and frightened, and they all fled. Wang Hong, the governor of Ningzhou in the Liao Kingdom, received news of Zhou Bing's entry and was preparing to move rescue troops to defend the city. Who knew that Zhou Bing had already approached the city.
Wang Hong guarded the empty city, knowing that he could not resist, so he opened the city and surrendered.
Zhao Kuangyin surrendered Wang Hong and asked him to serve as a guide to march into Yijin Pass.
General Zhong Tinghui, the guard of Yijin Pass, boarded the pass and looked south. He saw the warships of the Zhou Dynasty lined up, their banners fluttering, and the guards were heavily guarded.
When he was in a daze and astonished, he suddenly heard someone yelling under the switch: "Switch the switch quickly!"
He bent down and saw that it was Wang Hong, the governor of Ningzhou, so he asked, "What is the governor of Ningzhou doing here?"
Wang Hong replied: "I came here this time to negotiate with you for the sake of tens of thousands of lives in the pass."
Finally Tinghui invited Wang Hong into the pass. After meeting, Wang Hong said: "The Zhou army is too powerful to deal with, so let's surrender!"
