Chapter 11 Three Life (One)

In the Gantian Hall of Beijing (Taiyuan), Emperor Liu Chong of the Northern Han Dynasty stood behind the imperial desk, clenched his fists and his eyes were as sharp as a knife.

Guo Wei is dead! The evil thief who deceived his son Liu Yun on the grounds of inheriting the throne and then killed the enemy halfway, the sinister villain who usurped the Han Dynasty, forced a palace to pretend to behave, died of illness so quickly! And he has been accumulating strength to go south to take revenge in the past two years, and has been waving his tail to the Liao Kingdom for mercy, hoping that the other party can send an army to help the war when he sends troops!

He had accumulated strength all over his body, but before he could punch, his opponent suddenly disappeared out of thin air. This feeling was a hundred times more uncomfortable than smashing a cotton bag with an iron hammer. No matter how uncomfortable or disappointed he felt at the moment, he could not say it! If he said it, no one would understand it!

"The Guo family Que'er died ten days ago. The pseudo-Qi King Gao Xingzhou, the King of Wei Fu Yanqing, the governor of Zelu Chang Si, the Duke of Ying Feng Dao, the Grand Marshal Bai Wenke and other bandits supported their adopted son Guo Rong ascended the throne. The rebel thief Zheng Ziming was named the General of the Supplementary State and the Marquis of Guide. The rebel Zhao Kuangyin was named the commander of the front army in the palace, General Huaiyi, Hou Chenliu. The rebel thief Gao Huaide..." Zhao Huai was very responsible and explained to Liu Chong and the civil and military officials present.

"It's just a group of dry and stinky kids. Except for Fu Laolang and Gao Baima, no one else has to pay attention!" General Zhang Jun stepped forward a few steps and interrupted impatiently. "Your Majesty, I am willing to lead 30,000 troops to explore the false Zhouwei and reality!"

"Chang Kegong led his troops to save Guo Wei's life, and the Zelu prefectures were just empty. At this moment, it was indeed the best time to go south!" General Hu Degong also took a step forward and volunteered. "The last general is willing to order 10,000 troops to be the vanguard, and seize Luzhou for Your Majesty! Destroy Chang Si's lair!"

"My son is willing to take a sentry to take Zhaozhou!" The third prince Liu Hao had long forgotten the losses he suffered back then, and also shouted to join in the fun.

"It is better to take the prefecture than to take Zhaozhou. Take the opportunity to uproot the Zhe family, but you can cut off the pseudo-Zhou's arm!" The fourth prince Liu Kai was unwilling to live behind Liu Hao, and jumped out and shouted loudly.

"Your Majesty, it's ominous!" Right Prime Minister Wei Rong was cautious in his work. He heard the generals say it more and more relaxed. He quickly took a step forward and bowed deeply to Liu Chong. "Besides, it's winter soon, and you can't live outside the city for a long time. As long as the defenders of Zelu and the two states stayed closed, they could make Master Wang return in vain!"

"What's the ominous crime of destruction? The Guo family is a treacherous rebellion and usurpation. God took him away because he was full of evil deeds! How could he really treat him as the king of a country?" Ma Yuan, the Minister of War, was incompatible with Wei Rong and spoke in a tit-for-tat way.

"Your Majesty, although the Guo family's Queer has been wrong, he has given kindness to the people of the Central Plains. How can we underestimate his prestige between the civil and military officials of the Central Plains and the people because of personal grudges? If the Central Plains army and the people share the same hatred, even if our army has a million troops, it will probably be hard to get over the Yellow River!" Seeing this, Hanlin scholar Guo Wuwei immediately took action to Wei Rong's help.

"But the Yellow River can at least take over the entire Hedong?"

"How can you keep the territory if you can't take the people's heart?"

"Those who dare to secretly collude with the enemy will be punished!"

"Didn't there be few people killed in recent years? As soon as the people see the opportunity, they will inevitably escape?"

...

In a blink of an eye, civil officials and military generals started arguing, and the quarrel made the house beams fall!

"Enough, is there any end to it! Is there any emperor in your eyes?!" Liu Chong was so quarreled that he slapped the table and shouted loudly. ""

The dispute ended abruptly, and the civil officials blushed and retreated awkwardly. The military generals led by Zhang Yuanzheng also felt very bored. They all hugged Liu Chong and said, "I know the mistake, please calm your anger." Then they lowered their heads and stood on both sides of the imperial desk again.

Liu Chong waited silently for everyone to stand firmly, holding the table with his hands, and breathing, "I don't care whether I'm going to fight or not, nor do I care whether I can win the hearts of the people. I only care whether I can avenge my eldest son. Therefore, this soldier must be out. It's just that this winter will be out, and it will be out after spring is coming!"

He had never thought of becoming an emperor, nor did he think of becoming a saint. It was four years ago that Guo Wei usurped the throne of his nephew and deceived his son, which forced him to become emperor. The reason why he became an emperor was to restore his family and country, not to save the people, nor to unify the nine provinces. Therefore, as long as he could take revenge, he would do whatever he could do and pay any price.

"In winter, soldiers are prone to frostbite and frigidity, and are prone to colds. The Han family in Youzhou was defeated by this and became the name of Zheng for nothing!" After all, Jiang was still old, and Zhao Hua, deputy envoy of the Privy Councilor, was actually similar to that of civil servants such as Wei Rong. However, the effect of expression and discourse was completely opposite to that of Wei Rong and others.

The example of the tens of thousands of troops of the Han clan in Youzhou being dragged down by Zheng Ziming and thousands of village braves was more than once. The emperor and ministers of Northern Han had figured it out more than once, and of course they understood what the most important thing was. Immediately, the redness of Liu Chong's eyes quickly faded away. He turned his eyes to Zhang Yuanzheng, the leader of the general, and asked in a deep voice: "Zhang Shumi, what do you think? Are you sure to win if you send troops this winter?"

Although he had a fierce argument with Wei Rong and other civil officials before, when it was time to be serious, Zhang Yuanzheng immediately became cautious. After careful consideration, he stepped out and bowed to Liu Chong, "If you send troops in winter, it will be no big problem to capture Luzhou. It may be difficult to capture all the Zelu and Luzhou states. As for attacking Bianliang, Your Majesty, please forgive me for saying that with the power of our great Han country, even if we delay the time of sending troops until next spring, there is still no possibility!"

"Then you..." Liu Chong glared with anger, and instinctively wanted to question Zhang Yuanzheng how he was so arrogant when he had confronted the civil servants before. But when he spoke, he suddenly lost interest in questioning. He shook his head and sighed, "Then what can you do? Just say it directly. There is no need to go around with me! I don't want to steal anyone's territory. I just want to dig Guo Wei out of the grave as soon as possible and crush my bones and ashes!"

"Lian Heng!" Although Zhang Yuanzheng was a military general, his mind was more flexible than many civil servants. He gritted his teeth and responded loudly, "The most safe way was to take Luzhou or Prefecture as mentioned by the last generals and others, and then look for opportunities to eat southwards step by step. Since Your Majesty can't wait, then take advantage of Guo Rong's son's just ascending the throne and have no time to take care of others and send envoys to unite with the Great Liao, Mengshu, Southern Tang and Youzhou Han clans. The four families will attack the pseudo-Zhou together at the beginning of next spring!"
