Between the valleys, the water in the Qingzhang River is very fast.
A strong black man led the horse carefully sideways and walked and slid to the river. He was Zhao Kuangyin.
Zhao Kuangyin reached out to pick a handful of water and poured it on his face. He turned around and said to the stone on the hillside: The water is biting cold and as if it is about to freeze.
Shi Shouxin didn't know how to answer, but Zhao Kuangyin just said casually and quickly turned around to look at the mountains and rivers.
The gravel on the mountain fell down, and a large stone fell into the water on the ground. The entire valley seemed to be in turmoil slowly and unstoppably.
Just like the general trend!Zhao Kuangyin sighed.
Another general on the hillside said: If we go to Li Jixun's army in the future and continue to fight against that woman, will she be detrimental to our family?
Zhao Kuangyin silently refused to answer, and bowed a few more handfuls of water. Seeing that the horse beside him was drinking, he waited.He turned around and said loudly: Go to Li Chong to enter the camp first!
Shi Shouxin hurriedly advised: Li Chongjin and Zhang Yongde had a holiday, and Brother Zhao was once Zhang Yongde's person... He couldn't trust Li Chongjin too much.
Zhao Kuangyin said: I just don’t believe in Li Chongjin very much, so I went to vote for him first!However, I didn’t think he would be unfavorable to me, but I was worried that the guy would hold his troops and watch the fire from the other side of the river!
It’s already this time, what else can Li Chongjin wait and see?Shi Shouxin said in confusion.
People's hearts... Zhao Kuangyin raised his head and sighed, "What are the temperaments of those people in the imperial guards? I have been together for so many years, and I have figured it out for a long time."
Shi Shouxin thoughtful.
Zhao Kuangyin pointed to the turbulent rock opposite: In the world, the most sinister thing is not the high mountain cliffs, but the human heart!We regard loyalty and sincerity as our lives; in more people's hearts, they are lighter than a feather. They can be abandoned for a little profit, and for greater power and convenience, they can regard loyalty as a joke!
Zhao Kuangyin snorted coldly: A letter cannot be told to Li Chongjin to act decisively.If he still did not move his troops, Li Jixun would add some temporary recruits to the 20,000 people, and it would be difficult to take Jinzhou.
Shi Shouxin said: Brother Zhao said very well, and I also think it is difficult for Li Jixun.Jinzhou is a strong and important city, and the guardian is Xiang Xun; this person is not a mediocre person, but a good general.Only at least five times the strength of the troops can break through the important city he defends.
Zhao Kuangyin sighed: Jinzhou is not broken, it is like accused of throat.He led the horse and turned to the slope, shouting, Let's go!Go to Liaozhou.
...The city of Liaozhou is only twenty or thirty miles away from the border of Northern Han.Zhao Kuangyin led the horse soldiers to arrive in half a day. Because he was blocked at the city gate with his troops, he had to report his name and wait for someone to report it.
It took a long time for a general to come and they were put into the city.
The military general took Zhao Kuangyin and his three brothers to the headquarters of the Central Army, and Zhao Kuangyin left Shi Shouxin in the horse army.
At this time, Li Chongjin personally welcomed the trip.
The entrance to the Liaozhou Central Army Headquarters is a very old archway.
The paint on the thick wood on both sides had long since fallen out, and even the wood began to decay; there were eaves on it to cover the rain and prevent the pillars from being damp, but it still turned into this, which took many years.
Under the ancient plaque, the warriors wearing armor on both sides held their fists and saluted each other, and the scene was full of ancient style.
Brother Zhao, come on good health!Li Chongjin smiled.
Zhao Kuangyin said: I dare not, my lord is older, brothers, please see my lord.
Li Chongjin was slightly stunned when he heard the name "Lord".Zhao Kuangyin smiled and said: I have heard that Li Jixun is the leader of you. I have long been incompatible with the authoritarians in Tokyo, so I should be the leader of you.
Hahaha... Li Chongjin raised his head and laughed, General Zhao please!
When they arrived at the lobby, Li Chongjin sat only above, Zhao Kuangyin sat at the lower head, and the two brothers stood behind.Li Chongjin casually said: General Zhao stayed in Northern Han for a while, how about it?
At that time in Tokyo, the queen and his family general Guo Shaoli were in a mutiny, and I knew it was in danger and ran away early.I wanted to join Li Jixun, but Tokyo had not yet slaughtered all the generals. I was afraid that he would implicate him, so I didn't dare to stay, so I had to pass through Heyang to visit Beihan.Zhao Kuangyin sighed and said, "The Northern Han wants to use us and guard against us, and life is difficult."Except for the personal soldiers I brought from Tokyo, the rest of the three hundred cavalry were borrowed by Li Jixun, and they were not useful in the Northern Han Dynasty.
Zhao Kuangyin said seriously: Liu Jun and the civil and military officials of the Northern Han Dynasty could not trust the people from the Zhou Dynasty, let alone give military power!We still cut off our thoughts.
After hearing this, Li Chongjin pondered.
Zhao Kuangyin said calmly: Please don’t blame me, lord, it seems that two years ago, the lord of Southern Tang sent an envoy to win over the lord?
Li Chongjin snorted coldly: Li Jing is just a counter-espionage plan, and he wants to alienate the trust of me and the emperor's ministers.If I really throw myself over, can Li Jing give me good fruits?
Li Jing was quite kind. If it weren't for the consideration that the Southern Tang would be forced to hand over by the Great Zhou... The Southern Tang Lord might have given him an official position, and it would be fine for those who had voted for the past to be rich and frugal.Zhao Kuangyin said calmly that the Northern Han Dynasty would not even give him idle positions.If he really breaks with the Great Zhou Dynasty, his life may be preserved in the Northern Han Dynasty... but he can only survive.
Li Chongjin frowned immediately.
Zhao Kuangyin took advantage of the hot railroad: The lord may feel that there is a way out and he can retreat to the Northern Han at any time in Liaozhou.But you have to think a little more about it. Do you have to bring nearly 30,000 troops to the Northern Han together?The Northern Han Dynasty was barren, and he was willing to allocate money and food to support so many people... so many people under the lord's command who were not completely under their control?
But if you don’t have any soldiers in your hands, your lord will look at my current situation.Now I can still vote for my brother Li Jixun. If Li Jixun is defeated, who will we vote for?
Li Chongjin's face became increasingly ugly.
Zhao Kuangyin knew that he had already told him.Because Zhao Kuangyin did not rely on verbal words, he just made clear the real truth.
The Northern Han Dynasty is now still holding its troops and just wants to see the internal friction between the Zhou Dynasty.Zhao Kuangyin said that if the lord does not seize the opportunity as soon as possible and decisively raise an army with Li Jixun at the same time, the more he drags on, the less he can't confront Tokyo.The Northern Han Dynasty's retreat is that there is no way out; will the Tokyo side let you go because your lord has not raised an army now?Guo Shao has already conducted inspections in front of the palace...
When talking about Guo Shao, Li Chong was angry.
Zhao Kuangyin stopped talking and sat there silently, waiting for Li Chongjin to think about it.
After a long period of dismay, Li Chongjin slapped the armrest of the chair and said: General Zhao sent someone to tell Li Jixun that he would set up his army from Zezhou, so I immediately mobilized westward and attacked Jinzhou together!
Zhao Kuangyin was not happy, but said: Very good, I happened to follow the army and I would meet with Li Jixun in Jinzhou at that time.
Li Chongjin said: As soon as I learned that Li Jixun’s main force had arrived in Jinzhou, I immediately washed away Liaozhou, robbed all my things and rewarded the army and set off.
Zhao Kuangyin pondered: Liaozhou has a long detour to Jinzhou by Northern Han, and now we can do it.Lord, don’t worry, if you arrive in Jinzhou and Li Jixun still hold your troops, you will take the head of my neck and sacrifice the flag!I stayed in the army, and you sent someone to watch me and let it go.
Haha... Li Chongjin said, I am definitely not worried that Li Jixun will not hold back, you are misunderstanding me.
Don't dare or dare.Zhao Kuangyin said, I have no intention of this, and the road here is indeed far, so I suggest this.
Neither of them admitted their mental calculations, but Zhao Kuangyin thought that Li Chongjin was thinking that way... Not only was he worried about the issue of letting go of pigeons, Li Chongjin's main abacus should be: he wanted to make sure that Li Jixun took the lead, and most of the loss and consumption of strength were to be borne by Li Jixun; and Li Chongjin also wanted to monopolize Jinzhou because he had no place to settle down after leaving Liaozhou.
It is normal for Zhao Kuangyin to be used to this mutual distrust.
Not to mention people like Li Chongjin who were already very distant, when he was in Tokyo, Zhang Yongde, who was so close to him, even planned to plot against him.Everyone is considering themselves, who cares about others' life or death?
However, Zhang Yongde didn't want to ask for his favor, and he was seized from military power just two months later... He thought that if he was the son-in-law, he could save his life?Didn’t he resign by taking care of his illness? Zhao Kuangyin was waiting for the news of Zhang Yongde’s death.
A strong black man led the horse carefully sideways and walked and slid to the river. He was Zhao Kuangyin.
Zhao Kuangyin reached out to pick a handful of water and poured it on his face. He turned around and said to the stone on the hillside: The water is biting cold and as if it is about to freeze.
