In February of the first year of Xiande, Northern Han Emperor Liu Chong borrowed 12,000 cavalry from the Great Liao Kingdom, and led 30,000 troops to attack the Great Zhou Dynasty, and the army rushed straight to Luzhou.

The border was in urgent need, and the documents flew into Beijing with 600 miles.

The hatred between the Northern Han and the Great Zhou Dynasty is really a waste of time.

When Emperor Yin of Han killed the powerful ministers, he did not do anything, but stopped, and killed Guo Wei's family. Guo Wei raised an army to rebel, and Emperor Yin of Han died and the country was destroyed.

As Liu Chengyou's uncle, after Liu Chong learned that Guo Wei was emperor, he followed closely behind, proclaiming himself emperor and establishing a country, and fighting against Guo Wei. Historically, this regime was called the Northern Han Dynasty.

At first, when Guo Wei first broke the imperial capital, he claimed to the world that he would make Liu Yun, a son of the royal family, the emperor, and Liu Yun was Liu Chong's son. Liu Chong was very happy when he heard this news.

But later, Guo Wei became the emperor himself and imprisoned Liu Yun. Liu Chong was furious and became emperor. Guo Wei was afraid that it would be a disaster for him to keep Liu Yun, so he poisoned him to death.

There are both national hatred and family hatred. Last time you killed my relatives, this time I will also kill your relatives.

The hatred accumulates deeper and deeper.

Liu Chong has been waiting for the opportunity to take revenge on the Great Zhou.

Now, a good opportunity has appeared. Emperor Taizu of Great Zhou has a new mourning, and the Emperor of Northern Han took advantage of the great mourning of the other party to raise an army to attack Zhou!

In his eyes, Chai Rong, a young man, was just a useless wine bag. At least that's what he thought.

The troops of the two countries first fought at Lianghouyi. The Northern Han army cleverly designed a strange plan and set up ambush to kill Zhou general Mu Lingjun, captured him, and killed more than 1,000 Zhou troops. The chief general of the Zhou army, Li Yun, was defeated and overturned the army, led his army back to Shangdang, and defended himself in Yingcheng.

The news spread to the imperial capital.

In the palace hall, Emperor Chai Rong of the Great Zhou Dynasty was wearing a dragon robe and a beaded flat crown on his head. He sat upright on the imperial throne, and shouted long live the mountain of his ministers.

After the ceremony of Your meeting was over, Chai Rong said seriously: "The Lord of Northern Han took advantage of the funeral and started a quarrel, and regarded me as nothing. I want to command the emperor to personally fight to eliminate this thief!"

The ministers were afraid of making mistakes and tried to advise them.

The governor of Dingliang, general, and emperor Chai Xing advised: "Your Majesty is the lord of all saints, how can you go to danger in person? I want to lead an army to be your majesty's predecessor!"

Prime Minister Feng Dao also argued repeatedly and wanted to stop the emperor from traveling north.

Chai Rong was stubborn: "In the past, Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty pacified the world and always came to the enemy in person. How dare I feel at ease!"

Everyone was secretly shocked when they heard this. It turned out that in the emperor's heart, he compared himself with Emperor Taizong of Tang.

The people in the Mo Sect were named Chai Xing by the emperor at this time and all attended the military meeting. Hua Qingshuang was still dressed as a man. Seeing that the Emperor of Great Zhou was so ambitious and was not similar to all the foolish monarchs in other countries in the past, they all admired him.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, Feng Dao, the super elder of the twelve dynasties and the prime minister of the Great Zhou, actually spoke out loudly: "Your Majesty cannot be compared with Emperor Taizong of Tang!"

In the court, he dares to say such words!

Hello, old guy, you dare to let the Lord of Nine Five come down in public!

Han Fei, a representative of the Legalists in the Spring and Autumn Period, once said: A dragon has a reverse scale, and it will be angry when touched, and anger will kill people! A human king also has a reverse scale!

The Great Zhou Kingdom was the most powerful country during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms periods.

Feng Dao dared to speak to the arrogant emperor of the Great Zhou in this tone!

The ministers held their breath and didn't even dare to let out the atmosphere. The palace hall was so quiet that even a needle could be heard.

Yang Yifeng, a master of the Mo Sect, was frightened and sweated in a cold sweat on his back, fearing that the emperor would be furious, so he killed the old minister on the spot.

The two palace maids standing behind the emperor with a long fan were so scared that their faces were pale, and their hands holding the fan were trembling.

Sure enough, the emperor's face looked very ugly.

The air was filled with suffocating tranquility.

After a while, the emperor said: "The Han army is a mob. How can we compare to me in terms of the strength of the army? Cracking Liu Chong is like Mount Tai pressing an egg!"

Feng Dao was really unstoppable and refused to stop until he could not stop. He immediately advised: "Your Majesty is not Mount Tai!"

This time Hua Qingshuang was also scared and sweated.

Chai Xing lowered his head and no longer dared to look directly at his emperor brother.

"presumptuous!"

Long Yan was furious!

Everyone's hearts were trembling, and they lowered their heads at the same time, feeling the entire palace trembling!

Wang Pu, the old minister of Taizu, quickly found a way for the emperor and persuaded the emperor to personally expedition and eliminate the arrogance of the Northern Han army. The emperor then stepped forward and followed his opinions.

"The edict: Chai Xing, the governor of Dingliang, Fu Yanqing, the governor of Tianxiong, led his troops from Guzhen, Cizhou, and detoured the rear to intercept the return route of the Northern Han army. The governor of Hezhong, Wang Yanchao, went out to the east of Jinzhou and attacked the Northern Han army. The commander of the cavalry army, Fan Aineng, the commander of the infantry army, and He Hui, the governor of the Qinghuai, led his army to Zezhou. He ordered the envoy of Xuanhui to be the supervisor. All the troops and horses brought all the food, grass and supplies to advance within a specified period of time. If there is any delay, they will be executed immediately and will not be forgiven!"

"Abide by the order."

Before the emperor sent troops, he issued an edict to pardon the world. He ordered Feng Dao to send the coffin of the late emperor to the tomb and appointed Zheng Renhui as the one who stayed behind in Bianjing (note: Bianjing, Tokyo, Daliang, imperial capital, Kaifeng, referring to the same place).

The emperor led the Imperial Guards and set out from Daliang and marched towards Huaizhou.

The routes of troops and horses are different, and the main attack directions are also different. They cannot be discussed separately and talk about them one by one.

Chai Xing and Fu Yanqing quickly divided the troops along the way, each leading 5,000 troops and advanced separately.

There is no way to do this. Both of them are royal relatives. Chai Xing is the emperor's brother and Fu Yanqing is the emperor's father-in-law. They are not in charge of each other and cannot command each other.

In the Great Zhou court, Chai Xing's wish to make contributions to the country was stronger than anyone else. Other heroic generals had either followed the two generations of heroic rulers of the Great Zhou Kingdom, or had been through the battlefield for a long time and made countless contributions. They had made a brilliant future with one knife and one shot, and were sincerely supported by the soldiers.

Only Chai Xing's official position was airborne. Others dare not say much, but the jealousy and dissatisfaction in their hearts can be imagined.

Chai Xing appointed Hua Qingshuang as military advisor, Yang Yifeng, Ruan Haotian, and Zhou Guowang remained the position of deputy general unchanged, but Zhou Guowang also served as the chief supervisor of the intelligence battalion.

The cavalry of Chai Xing's troops marched twice, and he was too eager to fight a beautiful attack and annihilation battle!

God did not disappoint him. Although his attack position was destined to be away from the main force of the enemy, God still brought him a very important opponent, an opponent that would be enough to remember for his life.

At dusk, the two sides met in Jiajian Mountain.

The other side was the subsequent grain transport team of the Northern Han Army, with extremely scattered people and horses, and the clothes and armor of the soldiers in the army were not the same. The Northern Han regime can be said to be the most desolate and poorest regime during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms periods, with extremely scarce gold, silver, food, and war preparation materials.

Chai Xing quickly scanned the surrounding terrain. The area here is wide and not suitable for ambushing. It is getting late and the opponent has no follow-up reinforcements. If you don’t attack at this time, when will you wait?

Chai Xing did not wait for Hua Qingshuang, who was escorting food and grass in the rear, and could not wait to issue a general attack order.

This war was fought smoothly. Yang Yifeng and Ruan Haotian showed their skills and killed more than a hundred enemies, while Zhou Guowang commanded his soldiers to grab the grain truck.

Chai Xing defeated the enemy's unsuccessful grain escort soldiers without any suspense and confiscated 150 grain vans. The general in charge of grain escorts in the Northern Han Dynasty only fled when he was defeated, and even threw away the flag in a hurry.

On the flag, there is a big word "Yang".

"Brothers of Momen, you are all good!" The first battle was a good start, and Chai Xing was excited and clasped his fists and bowed.

The people in the Mo Sect were in a very good mood, and the others just shouted: "It's so satisfying to kill!"

It was Zhou Guowang who would say the scene: "General Chai, we have been traveling around the world for many years and are looking for wise rulers. A hero like our Great Zhou Emperor is really rare in the world. It is our brother's honor to be able to protect the Great Zhou Emperor to conquer the world!"

Chai Xing was even more happy when he heard this.

"We don't have the convenience of transporting so much food. Why don't we set up camp nearby?" Zhou Guowang just finished suggesting and said, "How about we wait for Miss Frost?"

Chai Xing was not as cautious as before. This victory gave him great confidence and immediately became careless: "Miss Frost is too weak. After walking for several days, I was afraid of getting tired of her. Let's decide for yourself about this small matter and don't let her waste her mind."

"Okay." These gangs of gangsters who don't know how to plan the temple made a decision in this way.

The Lord General Chai Xing thought in his heart: "It's not easy to take so much food anyway. Everyone is tired. It's better to have a meal first, rest, and then stop tomorrow."

Chai Xing had fought many wars before, but he was not dead, so he was lucky. But at most he had only served as deputy general in the small country of Nanhan, and never as chief general in a big country.

Actually, there is too big difference here.

The deputy general only needs to follow the command of the main general and kill the enemy bravely. The main general has to think about the overall situation. As long as there is a mistake, he has to bear all the responsibility. With the credit, he will naturally give it to the main general first, but if there is a mistake, the first person to go to the emperor to get a knife is also the main general.

At present, Chai Xing is not a qualified chief general. He wants to make contributions too much, which leads to his impetuousness and a big taboo in military strategists.

At night, just as he was sleeping soundly in the central army tent and dreaming that he was holding his five beautiful wives intimate, the shocking shouts of killing woke him up.

"Brothers, kill me!"

"Chai Rong's children are hard to make a difference, so why don't you go quickly!"

"Those who surrender are exempt from death! Those who resist are killed without any hesitation!"

...

In the fire, I couldn't tell how many enemies there were in a hurry, but I heard the sound of horse hooves, followed by the screams of Zhou soldiers before they died.

Chai Xing's army was quickly destroyed. He put on his armor randomly. When he ran out of the tent, he saw the enemy soldiers coming to the central army's tent from three directions. At this moment, he suddenly envied the father-in-law Fu Yanqing who was slowly working behind him.

Yang Yifeng and Ruan Haotian's face were covered with blood. They fought and retreated, shouting to the soldiers: "Protect General Chai first."

The Zhou army soldiers gradually gathered together and hurriedly fled with Chai Xing. Don’t say that the robbed grain trucks were not even the food and supplies in their own army.

Just as he was anxious to be a broken dog, someone shouted behind him: "Listen, brothers! Each head is rewarded with fifty taels of silver!"

"Swoosh!" The man finished shouting, but his hands didn't stop. He just came up with an arrow, which was a seamless connection.

A sharp arrow broke through the air, hit Chai Xing's right shoulder, and knocked off the horse.

Judging from the appearance, the main general's armor is obviously much more noble than other people. But it is precisely because the main general is too conspicuous that he is the most likely to become the enemy's target for gathering fire when he arrives on the battlefield, especially when escaping.

In the swaying fire, when the Northern Han Army saw the enemy's chief general fall, they were all excited and shouted: "Yang Wudi's magical arrow is unparalleled!"

The pursuer arrived in an instant, Chai Xing stood up with pain and was about to turn around to look for the horse, but the general with golden armor and golden helmet and a mighty Xianglin rushed over with a big sword in his hand, shouting: "Boy, when you arrive at the Hall of Hell, you will say that it is the golden sword Yang Ye who sent you back to the west!"

Seeing that the situation was urgent, Yang Yifeng slapped Yang Ye to fight against Yang Ye. The big knife in Yang Ye swung it like a flying battle. After three rounds, he turned the back of the knife and hit him on his shoulder, knocking Yang Yifeng off the horse.
