Chapter 1391 The Art of Darkness
Yujing demon city.
Li Chuwei, who took a long time to finally give birth to a child, watched her child turn into two rays of light and disappear into the air. She was startled and anxious, and shouted loudly.
Qin Hao, who was full of joy, was looking forward to seeing his child, but in the end, the child disappeared!
He wanted to catch up, but he was worried about the little wife who had just given birth, so he stopped and went into the house.
In the room, Li Chuwei was covered in sweat and lay weakly on the bed. Due to excessive force, her hair was wet and stuck to her scalp.
"Hao Lang, where is our child?"
Seeing Qin Hao, Li Chuwei was in a hurry. If Li Chuxuan hadn't pulled her, she would have gone to find the child herself.
This is a newborn baby who disappeared out of thin air, isn't he going to be scared to death?
"Hurry up and find our child, don't have any accidents!"
Hearing Li Chuwei's nervous words, Qin Hao smiled calmly: "My Qin Hao's child, can there be an accident?"
nonexistent!
······
Blue Star, the city head of Ningzhou.
Finally Yanhui couldn't think of a good way, so he had to follow Wang Hong's advice and switch to surrender.
Seeing this, Zhao Pu laughed out loud. In fact, this Wang Hong was already his.
He put a lot of thought into it and reversed the strategy.
Now, it's just going with the flow and successfully capturing it.
Zhao Kuangyin comforted Zhong Tinghui with kind words, and asked him the way here.
Zhong Tinghui replied: "It is only tens of miles from here to Waqiaoguan, but the waterway is narrow and it is not convenient for boats. If the commander wants to move on, he must abandon the warship and go ashore."
Zhao Kuangyin decided to follow Zhong Tinghui's words, and sent his general and Wang Hong back to garrison Ningzhou, and left hundreds of soldiers to guard Yijin Pass with Zhong Tinghui.
Considering that Han Tong had not yet arrived, Zhao Kuangyin should not stay here for a long time, so Zhao Kuangyin simply ordered all the soldiers to go ashore and march towards Waqiaoguan in the west.
In less than a day, Zhao Kuangyin led his army to Waqiao Pass.
Yao Neibin, the general guard of Guanshang, led thousands of cavalry to intercept, wanting to take advantage of Zhou Bing's unstable foothold and be caught off guard.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Kuangyin had already seen through his intentions and set a trap on the shore, waiting for him to come and die.
Yao Neibin was plotted against by Zhao Kuangyin and fled back to the pass in a hurry.
Zhao Kuangyin took advantage of the victory and pursued the attack. After attacking for a day and a night, he still failed to capture Waqiao Pass.
The next day, Han Tong led the army to arrive, and the two armies were densely packed, and the momentum was huge. The guard, Yao Neibin, dared not resist, and obediently surrendered.
Soon, Lord Zhou arrived, and Zhao Kuangyin invited Lord Zhou to enter.
Zhou Bing marched forward triumphantly all the way, and pulled several passes in Liao Kingdom. The Lord of Zhou was very happy, and ordered the soldiers of the three armies to drink for three days, and set up a banquet for the officials to discuss the matter of seizing Youzhou.
During the banquet, the soldiers expressed their worries: "Although His Majesty left the capital for more than 40 days, he took down the Yannan states in one go. The Liao Lord lost Yannan, and he will definitely mobilize his troops to defend Youzhou. I hope your Majesty will think twice." Then go."
Although Master Zhou didn't speak, there was already a look of displeasure on his face.
After the banquet was over, Zhou called the vanguard to command Li Chongjin to enter the account, and said to him: "My ambition is to unify the Central Plains and level the north and the south. Now I have arrived here, and I have already captured the Yannan states. Do you want to stop now? You lead 10,000 horses, set off tomorrow, I will lead the rear army, and I will never go back unless I break into the capital of the Liao Kingdom this time!"
Li Chongjin saw that Master Zhou's attitude was so firm, so he had to agree to retreat.
The Lord of Zhou ordered Sun Xingyou to lead 5,000 cavalry to attack Yizhou immediately, and Sun Xingyou also followed the order.
The next day, Li Chongjin led his troops to Gu'an. All the soldiers guarding Gu'an fled, and the gates of the city were opened wide, and Zhou soldiers poured in. In a blink of an eye, Lord Zhou also arrived, and Li Chongjin drove forward.
When I walked to the north of Gu'an County, I saw a long river in front of me. This river was gurgling and unfathomable.
After Li Chongjin asked the locals, he learned that the name of the river was Anyang River, and all the rafts on the river were hidden by the Liao army.
The vast river blocked the way for the army to advance.
Lord Zhou ordered the troops to cut down trees and build bridges, and the bridge was built in less than two days.
The weather in the north is cold at night, coupled with the heavy humidity by the river, Lord Zhou worked hard day and night, and even caught wind and cold.
After a day, Lord Zhou's condition still didn't improve.

After a day, Master Zhou's condition still didn't improve, and he stayed in bed for another two days. At this moment, Sun Xingyou's success came, and Li Zaiqin, the governor of the Liao Kingdom, was escorted.
Master Zhou interrogated him with illness: "Would you like to surrender or beheaded?"
Li Zaiqin was also considered a good man, and shouted with glaring eyes: "If you want to kill, kill it, why are there so many nonsense!"
The Lord of Zhou ordered him to be beheaded. After the interrogation, Master Zhou felt dizzy and hurriedly retreated into the dormitory.
After another two days, the condition still did not improve. The generals wanted to invite the holy chariot to return to the capital, but they were afraid of angering the Lord Zhou, so they dared not ask for a performance. Only Zhao Kuangyin excitedly said: "Master is sick, so stay here for a long time. If the Liao army arrives, what should I do? I will invite Your Majesty to return to Beijing immediately."
After speaking, he went straight into Lord Zhou's bedroom and asked him to return.
Zhao Kuangyin entered Master Zhou's bedroom, came to the bed and greeted Ann.
Zhou Lord talked to him about military affairs, and said: "I originally wanted to take this opportunity to pacify the Liao Kingdom, but unexpectedly fell ill and delayed the opportunity. What should I do next!"
Zhao Kuangyin replied: "Your Majesty, it may be that the power of the Liao Kingdom is not exhausted, so it is God's will. If Your Majesty can act according to the sky and stop for a while, good luck will come from heaven, and His Majesty's condition will naturally recover."
Master Zhou hesitated for a long time before he said: "Aiqing is right, I will return to the capital temporarily. Aiqing will immediately call back the troops from all over the place. Let's set off for Beijing tomorrow!"
After Zhao Kuangyin withdrew, he immediately sent an order to transfer Li Chongjin and Sun Xingyou back to Beijing.
The next day, Lord Zhou ordered to change Waqiao Pass to Xiongzhou and ordered Han Lingkun to stay behind; Yijin Pass was changed to Bazhou and ordered Chen Sirang to stay behind;
On the way, Master Zhou's condition improved, so he took out the documents to review.
Suddenly, I saw a piece of wood, about three feet long, with five big characters written on it, which was exactly a paragraph of the sixteen characters given to Zhao Kuangyin by the old monk: "Check to be the emperor".
Master Zhou pondered for a while, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong.
After returning to Daliang, Lord Zhou dismissed Zhang Yongde without saying a word.
Zhang Yongde was Guo Wei's son-in-law. Zhou Shizong was afraid that he would secretly rebel, so he dismissed him and replaced him with Zhao Kuangyin as the capital inspector and the inspector.
Since then, Zhao Kuangyin's prestige has grown.
It really has its own destiny!
