royal robes

Chapter 573 Go to Weizhou
Chai Rong knew that Zong Xin was really capable. The first time he saw that he had predicted what would happen in the future, he would board the plane and proclaim himself emperor.Chai Rong is actually very clear about this point. Considering the character of his adoptive father, if he really can only live for three years, it is absolutely impossible for the throne to be handed over to the third brother who is not yet mentally sound, so he will definitely be able to ascend the throne, and he is a little ashamed...

From ancient times to the present, the person who has passed the throne to the adopted son but not to his own son... probably only the adopted father.Moreover, he and his adoptive father have no blood relationship at all, and Chai Rong doesn't know how to describe his feelings. He feels sorry for the Guo family.

Zhao Kuangyin and Chai Rong just had a brief chat, and it was mainly to explain to Chai Rong what he was going to do in Kaifeng. Chai Rong was also shocked after hearing it.

What Zhao Kuangyin had to do when he returned to Kaifeng was very simple. He really wanted to kill people, and those who killed were officials who might be fools.Moreover, the inscription 'Yan Wang' was left behind after the murder, but anyone with discerning eyes could tell at a glance that it was done by insiders. Murong Yanchao was leading troops to fight in Xuzhou, how could he come to Kaifeng in such a good mood to kill people?
The biggest advantage of doing this is to let most people share the same hatred, and the second is to stabilize Queen Yang's rule, because now Guo Wei and Chai Rong have left, I believe Cao Yun and Cao Bin were also taken to Weizhou by Guo Wei, these two fathers and sons are very useful, so At the critical moment, Guo Wei will never let the two of them idle.

No one in Kaifeng can control the overall situation, so what Zhao Kuangyin has to do this time is to summarize all the forces he can contact, let these people unite, and first unify the outside world to stabilize the situation in Kaifeng. Only in this way can the soldiers on the expedition They have no worries.

First of all, we need to find the left and right prime ministers, Wang Jun, the prime minister of the right, and Wang Pu, the prime minister of the left.Wang Jun has been following Guo Wei and acting as the supervisor. This time Wang Jun has no need to go, and the emperor has left, and the two prime ministers can't go again, so Wang Jun was left in Kaifeng this time.

Wang Pu was the prime minister picked up from the mountains when Guo Wei was in trouble. Guo Wei didn’t understand at first, but Zong Xin said that this person was a prime minister, so he kept it by his side and used it. Wang Pu was more useful than Wang Jun. Too much, although I haven't read any books, but although I have a clever mind and often come up with some very dirty methods, I can effectively manage those officials who don't do things well.

Of course, there are many things related to agriculture that Wang Pu can do at his fingertips, because Wang Pu has been farming his whole life, and he is naturally intelligent and has been thinking about how to better develop agriculture.It's just that Wang Pu has never had the opportunity to display his talents.Guo Wei gave him a chance, and Wang Pu did not disappoint Guo Wei's trust.

Agriculture is the foundation of a country. If the people do not have enough to eat, no matter how strong the military is, it is all false prosperity.Nowadays, the Dugu clan in Jinling is the one with the highest grain output, but Guo Wei very much hopes that Da Zhou's grain output can be self-sufficient, and even the excess grain can be exported to other places.

As the prime minister, Wang Pu introduced many policies to give the people a lot of convenience and let them grow food with peace of mind.This also made Dazhou's food no need to import, because there was no official war for nearly a year, so the food problem of Dazhou was completely resolved.Wang Pu played a very important role, and other people also admired him, because Wang Pu didn't look like a prime minister at all, and he was a farmer in court clothes, but he punched and kicked in the hall, leaving everyone dumbfounded.

In addition to these two, Zhao Kuangyin also wanted to find Guo Wei's nephew Li Chongjin, and now only Li Chongjin can hold the stage.After all, he is Guo Wei's own nephew, and he is in charge of the front of the palace. Li Chongjin is responsible for protecting the safety of the entire palace. He has most of Kaifeng's military power in his hands. Only with Li Chongjin's cooperation can Yang Shu make orders without hesitation.

Zhao Kuangyin still needs to find Wei Renpu, who is very talented, has a photographic memory, and can speak well.Just by asking casually, you can tell the names of Jiedushi and troops in any place, and know how many troops there are.Now officials and privy officials all accept orders, and Zhongshu waits for Lang.Zhao Kuangyin had to ask Wei Renpu who should be killed, who should not be killed, and who should inherit this person's position after killing. Wei Renpu had too many things in his head, so it would be much more convenient to have his suggestions.

Of course, there is also Pan Mei, the prefect of Kaifeng, who Zhao Kuangyin needs to consult.Because Pan Mei and Li Chongjin controlled the entire Kaifeng force, as long as these two were on Zhao Kuangyin's side, it would be useless for others to resist.

...There are too many things to do, Zhao Kuangyin is tired just thinking about it.However, these people are related to Zong Xin, and they will fully cooperate as long as they express their intentions.These people must be united, otherwise if Kaifeng is in chaos, the whole Dazhou will follow. Therefore, even if the knife is covered with blood, the officials in the capital cannot be dissatisfied, otherwise the situation will be out of control.

Although Zhao Kuangyin has many things to do, the main thing is to find people. After finding all these people, he will explain the current situation. These are old fritters, and they know what to do.The next thing for Zhao Kuangyin is to kill secretly, to kill anyone who has turned his back on him. In fact, the workload is not that big.

………………

Zong Xin and his party lived in Xuzhou for three days. Although the weather was cold, it had a special flavor. This time it snowed for three days, and there was countless snow in the warm south, which made everyone's eyes shine.

Three days later, Chai Rong arrived in Xuzhou smoothly. Although the road was blocked by heavy snow, Chai Rong still arrived at the destination within the specified time and never delayed the military situation.

After Zong Xin and his party joined Chai Rong, they immediately set off for Weizhou.Prior to this, Zong Xin had already asked Zhao Pu, a frail scholar, to lead the three thousand brothers from the Ao Gang to take the first step. These three thousand gangs were not ordinary infantry, each of them had horses, and they were well equipped, because Yandao was so rich , I don't know where to spend it at all, and if I spend a day's proceeds to buy weapons and equipment for the helpers, they can be armed to the teeth.

You get what you pay for, there is nothing wrong with spending money.The members of the Ao Gang also felt that their combat power had improved in a straight line. The weapons and armor were all imported from the Wang Clan, and the Wang Clan also sent people to the Salt Gang to teach them how to wear and maintain these weapons and armor.

The horses under the crotch are also top-grade horses, cold-resistant, fast, durable, and heavy-duty. Not to mention these gangsters, even the horses have a layer of scales on their bodies. This is the latest batch of armor produced by the Wang Clan , covering the whole body like scales, reducing the weight, but the defense is better than the whole piece of armor.

This whole troop galloping on horseback is also an extremely shocking scene, Zhao Pu likes to run from one end of the Salt Island to the other very much.Now the opportunity came. I ran directly from Yandao to Xuzhou, and then from Xuzhou to Weizhou. I don't know how long it will take.

Zong Xin and his party were different. They were riding mounts and did not need any armor at all. Their fur was already harder than the armor.The sharp claws and teeth are far better than the sharp edges of spears. Coupled with the original agility of wargs and their huge bodies, they are originally killing machines on the battlefield.

The speed of the wolf is far better than that of a horse, so Zong Xin let Zhao Pu and his party go on the road first. When Zong Xin arrived in Weizhou, Zhao Pu and his party had not yet run halfway.The flag of the Ao Gang can guarantee them unimpeded movement in the territory of Dazhou, because the Ao Gang is the only unit directly under Zongxin, and everyone knows the purpose of the Ao Gang going north. They are to help Guo Wei guard Weizhou.

In addition, Zong Xin also asked Gu Guozhang to escort food, grass, military pay, and all applicable things to Weizhou in advance. Although Gu Guozhang is the head of the bodyguard, he has a long-term cooperative relationship with Zong Xin. Of course, he will help with this small favor.Anyway, I have to escort salt to various places, and it's okay to escort some other things by the way.

Of course, Bai Yunfei will fully support Zong Xin, because Zong Xin is their only source of income now.Even if the salt-drying method is made public, the income from Yandao will be a great fortune, perhaps not as much as before. However, both Bai Yunfei and Gu Guozhang directly benefited from Yandao, not from Lei Hong. So they are partners, and of course they treat Salt Island's affairs as their own business.

Zong Xin asked Han Lingkun to follow him, because the heirs of the Legalist family were very virtuous in governing the army. Since it is the current Weizhou and Song Clans, if there is no strict military discipline, and if there is no talent like Han Lingkun who controls the overall situation, these people are like a mess. So Zong Xin led Youyun Eighteen Cavalry and Han Lingkun to ride the mount wolf together.

…………

The wolf was very fast, and arrived in Weizhou after running for a few days.At this time, Weizhou was like a frightened bird, even the slightest turbulence would scare off all the feathers. When Zong Xin and his party rushed over, someone's hand shook, and thousands of feathered arrows shot towards Zong Xin and his party. If the people flew over, if it wasn't for the high skill of this group of people and the distance is too far, the whole army would be wiped out if they couldn't reach Weizhou at all.If it were other troops, even if they managed to make it to Weizhou, more than half of them would die first.

After recognizing Zongxin's warg, everyone was relieved, and the few people standing on the wall stacks also breathed a sigh of relief, because they finally got Zongxin's reinforcements.It's just... Zong Xin brought such a small number of people here. These reinforcements are not worth mentioning in the face of the Northern Han and Khitan alliances.

Even so, everyone in Weizhou felt at ease. As long as Zong Xin was there, no matter how different the military strength was, they would feel at ease.Zong Xin is like an undefeated myth, he is the god who controls victory, as long as Zong Xin's balance is on one side, the victory will be on that side.

After entering Weizhou City, Zong Xin took a quick look. Weizhou was rich in supplies and towering walls, but its military strength was indeed not strong. Everyone felt that this war had nothing to do with them, and they had no sense of fighting at all. They just wanted to leave here earlier, but With things like this, they can only bite the bullet, and the morale of the entire Weizhou is quite low.

Zong Xin also knew that this was to drive ducks to the shelves, but he had no other choice.Guo Wei's troops were only enough to stop one of them, and of course he had to stop the stronger Tang army. As for the Northern Han and Khitan coalition forces, their numbers were naturally not as large as the Tang army. Xin can think of the only way.
