Chapter 1185 The Courage

"Second brother, second brother, you finally woke up."

Zhao Kuangyin woke up from the coma again, and then saw Zhao Kuangyi worried.Zhao Kuangyin's condition is much worse than Zong Xin's. Zong Xin is at most injured but he is overdrawn, and he has overdrawn a lot to barely consume Yeluzhen.

"It's okay, it's just too much overdraft." Zhao Kuangyin said: "Please hurry up, Your Majesty, I have something important to report to him."

"Yes~!"

Zhao Kuangyi immediately invited Chai Rong. Although Chai Rong was the emperor, he was still willing to condescend to visit Zhao Kuangyin under such circumstances. It can be said that more than half of the victory this time was due to Zhao Kuangyin. His strategy was very good and he successfully restricted the Khitan. Iron cavalry, and holding Yelvzhen down by himself is no small matter, because Yelvzhen's skill is too high, and he may die at any time.

In fact, most people thought that Zhao Kuangyin would not be able to come back. Unexpectedly, he was carried back to the barracks by two strong men. Zhao Kuangyi also wanted to investigate who saved Zhao Kuangyin, but after asking to no avail, he went to the place where they carried Zhao Kuangyin. People go to the empty building.

However, Zhao Kuangyi already had the answer, there were not many people who could rescue Yeluzhen from him, and this person was unwilling to reveal his identity, and only Zong Xin would do this.Since Zong Xin doesn't want to show up, then don't continue to investigate, just ask the second brother when the time comes.

Not long after, Chai Rong brought a group of civil and military ministers to visit Zhao Kuangyin. This time, Zhao Kuangyin made a remarkable achievement, so of course he should boast about it, after all, this is not something ordinary people can do.Zhao Kuangyin not only let the Han people know that the Khitans were not as powerful as imagined, but also almost broke the myth of Yeluzhen's invincibility.

Yeluzhen claimed that standing outside the city gate of Cangzhou could stop the Central Plains' [-] troops. No one doubted this person, because Yeluzhen was really powerful, and ordinary people couldn't get close to him at all.But now this myth has been broken, Zhao Kuangyin alone can hold Yeluzhen back, and he can come back alive, the confidence of the Han people has returned.

"General Zhao... General Zhao..." Chai Rong rushed into Zhao Kuangyin's camp screaming all the way, and grabbed Zhao Kuangyin with excitement in his eyes.The relationship between Chai Rong and Zhao Kuangyin is actually not bad. We have known each other for so many years, and Zhao Kuangyin has been protecting Chai Rong for so many years of fighting. Chai Rong really treats him as a brother. Chai Rong is really happy to come back alive.

"Shuchen is seriously injured and unable to salute."

"No gift, no gift, what else should I do at this time? I am the happiest thing that you can come back alive." Chai Rong said excitedly: "General Zhao, before this, you have always said that you would challenge Yelv Zhen alone, but I don't believe it. , and it turned out that you really dared to go and came back alive, General Zhao is indeed a man of extraordinary skill."

"Back to your majesty, I don't dare to claim credit. I am just doing my duty as a Han." Zhao Kuangyin said: "I also brought back a piece of good news. Yelvzhen's injury is no less serious than mine. Judging from Yelvzhen's injury, it lasted no more than a year and a half. If it cannot be cured, our army can drive straight in, take Youzhou first and drive the Khitan people out of the Great Wall."

Everyone present was dumbfounded, Zhao Kuangyin's martial arts is so high?He was able to beat Yeluzhen seriously, and there was no serious injury that could not be healed in a year or so, it shouldn't be...

Many people know Zhao Kuangyin's level, his martial arts is indeed very high, at least few people in this world can beat him.But compared to Yeluzhen, he was far worse than Yeluzhen. It was absolutely impossible for him to seriously injure Yeluzhen.

But since Zhao Kuangyin dared to say that, then Yeluzhen should also be hurt badly.No matter how brave Zhao Kuangyin was, he would not dare to tell this lie, after all, it was related to the life and death of tens of thousands of Da Zhou's army.And this time Zhao Kuangyin has already made extraordinary achievements, so there is no need for him to deliberately exaggerate his own achievements.

It is definitely impossible for Zhao Kuangyin to beat Yeluzhen seriously by himself, maybe someone helped him.And everyone knew that Zhao Kuangyin was carried back to the barracks by two people, and he was powerless to fight any more.The person who rescued him was unwilling to give his name...

Many people suspected that it was Zong Xin, but they had no evidence and were just guessing.Even Chai Rong thought it was possible that Zong Xin was still alive, and it was Zong Xin and Zhao Kuangyin who defeated Yeluzhen together.

It's no wonder that Zhao Kuangyin has the courage to single out Yeluzhen. In fact, Zongxin has been hiding in the dark and is ready to respond at any time.It's just that the battlefield between the two of them was more terrifying than the battlefield of tens of thousands of people. No one dared to watch the battle, let alone reinforce it, so no one knew what happened at that time.

"General Zhao, is this serious?"

"In front of His Majesty, how dare I speak half a lie?" Zhao Kuangyin said: "Please also organize the Northern Expedition immediately, and don't let Khitan have a chance to recover the Sixteen Youyun Prefectures all the way north."

"Zhao Kuangyin, this matter needs to be considered in the long term. You can't send troops just because you say it." Li Chongjin said: "I admire you very much for challenging Yelvzhen alone, but even if Yelvzhen is seriously injured, the Khitan army is not a vegetarian. Let's go north and leave Cangzhou. If so, what should we do if we encounter the Khitan cavalry? The Khitan cavalry moves extremely fast and we cannot catch up. If they keep harassing them nearby, we can make us retreat."

They are all aware of the speed advantage of Khitan iron cavalry, especially because they are almost invincible troops on the grassland.It doesn't take much. Three thousand cavalry can kill tens of thousands of troops in the Central Plains just like playing.The main reason is that they can't catch up, and if they can't catch up, they can't fight. The Khitan cavalry keeps a distance and uses the trick of cavalry and shooting to make the Central Plains troops helpless.

"Don't think about it, Wei Renpu ordered the three armies to march northward tomorrow without any mistakes."

"The minister obeys the order."

In fact, most people trust Zhao Kuangyin very much, and Wei Renpu also thinks that Zhao Kuangyin is right to do so.As long as Yeluzhen is seriously injured, the Central Plains can go straight.Although the Khitan is brave, but if its self-confidence is damaged, coupled with the inability to organize troops to fight for a while, the Khitan will surely retreat steadily.

The reason why the Khitans are brave is not without reason, their self-confidence and Yeluzhen's excellent command.Now that Yeluzhen has fallen, Khitan must be in a mess, how can they organize a counterattack?Your Majesty's judgment is very accurate.

"Your Majesty is wise!" Zhao Kuangyin has never liked Li Chongjin very much. If he hadn't wanted to usurp the throne in the future, he would have killed Li Chongjin long ago. Unexpectedly, he would hinder him at this time.

Fortunately, Chai Rong is still relatively smart, he knows that attacking Khitan at this time can be said to be the best opportunity.If you miss this opportunity, it will be more difficult to go north to counterattack.

"Your Majesty, the second brother is seriously injured. It is not appropriate to say too much now."

Chai Rong nodded and said: "That's right, General Zhao has a good rest, and leave everything to other people, you just need to rest in peace and recuperate."

"Congratulations, Your Majesty."

Zhao Kuangyin really couldn't get out of bed, and it was very difficult to even move his hands.Although I have rested for several days, I still feel empty in my body, completely devoid of true energy and internal strength.Now Zhao Kuangyin can't do anything except sleep and recuperate. He even needs help from others to eat and go to the bathroom.

After Chai Rong led the people away, Zhao Kuangyi sat by the bed and fed Zhao Kuangyin soup and medicine.This is made by Chai Rong's express orders. The ingredients in it are all the good medicinal materials that Chai Rong usually uses as snacks. Most people will spurt blood after eating them, but for people like Chai Rong and Zhao Kuangyin who lack internal energy It is a great supplement.Of course, Zhao Kuangyin's skill is that it doesn't matter how much he eats, but Chai Rong can't make up for it. He can improve his body in a short period of time, but in the long run it will only increase the burden on his body.

"Second brother, those people just now were all human beings. It's not easy to deceive them. It's just that no one except Li Chongjin is willing to expose them." Zhao Kuangyi said: "Of course, you didn't lie. It's just that you didn't say it in detail enough. You definitely can't beat Yelu Zhen to serious injury by yourself, there must be someone helping you, right. And we all know this person..."

Zhao Kuangyin asked curiously, "Does everyone think this way or...you are the only one who thinks this way."

"I guess most people think this way, because there are not many people who can compete with Yeluzhen in this world. At most, you are delaying Yeluzhen and consuming part of his skills. But I guess you can consume at most five of his successes." Yeluzhen, who still has [-]% strength left, is still invincible in the world. You can count how many people can deal with him with your fingers. If it is Lei Hong or Bu Xiangyang, Yeluzhen is not as simple as being seriously injured. In this case, there is no other possibility for him to be seriously injured except Zong Xin."

Zhao Kuangyin nodded, indeed Zhao Kuangyi was right.But as long as this matter is not revealed, it will be fine. Everyone will believe that he was the one who severely injured Yeluzhen. Even if these people don't believe it themselves, they can't tell it.

"Second brother, I want to discuss one thing with you. I did something wrong, but I did it very well."

"Say~ I can't move anyway, so what else can I do besides talk?"

Zhao Kuangyi said: "Do you remember that Zong Xin gave Zhang Yongde three kits, but he only opened one to see?"

"Of course I remember this. Everyone is very curious about what is in his three kits, but no one dares to dismantle it without Zhang Yongde, because they all know how powerful Zong Xin's mana is. It's not worth dying for yourself." Zhao Kuangyin's face suddenly changed, and then he said in surprise: "Grandson, you must have secretly dismantled the remaining two kits."

Zhao Kuangyi nodded, and looked at Zhao Kuangyin proudly, but Zhao Kuangyin looked depressed.This grandson is too courageous, he even dared to dismantle this kind of thing privately, what if he suffers some retribution?
"Second brother, you don't have to worry. I think Zong Xin told Zhang Yongde this way on purpose. The purpose is to keep Zhang Yongde from dismantling it. I'm sure I will dismantle those two kits, so those two kits are actually reserved for you. Mine." Zhao Kuangyi said: "Anyway, I will take it apart if I don't want to take it apart, I already know the contents inside, this is a very important piece of information, luckily I took it apart and read it."
