Spoiling History: Starting from the Three Kingdoms

Zhao Kuangyin moved his chair to the door and sat down. There was indeed a cool breeze here that alleviated the stuffy heat in the room.

But at this moment, thin beads of cold sweat suddenly broke out on his back.

Even the anger his brother had caused him was temporarily put aside.

System refers to the principle, and degree refers to the law. From this, the system can be said to be the foundation of a country.

Later generations said that a group of people who were forced into desperation launched a challenge against these important weapons of the emperor.

It was like a mantis using its arm as a cart, or a mayfly shaking a tree. To Zhao Kuangyin, this kind of news should have been laughed off.

After all, the consensus among the emperors who fought hard in the turbulent times of the late Tang Dynasty was completely opposite to this:

It is better to be grudged against the people than to be displeased with officials.

However, judging from the debate between Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty and the attitude of later generations to judge this, it is still open to question whether this consensus in troubled times can be used to govern the world.

Moreover, I wonder if the Song Dynasty suffered frequent defeats in foreign wars after him. In the end, only one young emperor was able to make a difference. Is this related to the strategy of strengthening the branches and strengthening the weak branches?

After all, he also noticed the changes brought about by the replacement of Zhe Hui.

Change the law, change the law, what is the method of change? It has changed the rules of the previous dynasty.

I just don’t know who is the descendant of Zhe Zong, the only accomplished person?

Looking at his younger brother lying on the ground with a smile on his face, Zhao Kuangyin snorted coldly:

If it hadn't been for this brother's trouble, there wouldn't have been such many changes!

After all, if he can really unite the world, he will definitely live with the people... right?

But these things are quite far away. The most urgent task is to call the imperial doctor to check the body to ensure that there will not be another collapse in two years.

Zhao Guangyi really had a smile on his face at this time. Whether it was helpful to open the book or to provide help in times of need, the words were good at first sight.

From this point of view, even if he loses his martial arts, it is not bad if he can practice martial arts.

Moreover, the tea monopoly was known as the predecessor of the Tea Introduction Law. It was a clever strategy since it could be used by future generations. Therefore, Zhao Guangyi came to a logical conclusion:

Although future generations will criticize me a lot, it seems that I am not bad at being an emperor.

I just don’t know, in the end, did they find a suitable place for Guangmei...oh no, a suitable place for Tingmei that would not be criticized?

…

Kong Ming and Liu Bei couldn't help but look at each other.

Pang Tong licked his lips but still felt his mouth was dry. He picked up the tea in front of him and drank it all in one gulp.

Seeing that Kong Ming was still looking thoughtful, Pang Tong took the lead and said:

Could I wait...

Before Pang Tong could finish speaking, Kong Ming shook his head and said:

With the technology of future generations, ten acres of land can be used to cover the expenses of a family, not to mention all kinds of magical and convenient methods.

If I do it, it is tantamount to annihilating myself.

Liu Bei made the final decision and said slowly:

Now we should not rush to achieve success, but first cultivate the principles.

Pang Tong certainly understood that one should not be eager for quick success, but when he thought about it, even if he spent his whole life, he might not be able to see Yan Han chasing after the next generation, he couldn't help feeling regretful.

Since all he could do was to concentrate on the matter in front of him, he said softly at the moment:

Since the Lord has said so, let's repair it first.

I will make good repairs with that thief Cao this year.

Zhang Fei's eyes lit up and he couldn't wait to ask for orders:

I will catch that Cao A secretly, and let the elder brother and the military counselor teach him the principles of life!

Kong Ming nodded hesitantly, okay, this can be regarded as a kind of repair.

[However, Wang Xiaobo's uprising was at the end of Zhao Guangyi's career, and in a sense it can be regarded as Zhao Er's career score.

Before that, we might as well take a look at how Zhao Er, who rose to power through abnormal means, left a mark in his imperial career.

After he ascended the throne, generous monks and nuns built temples extensively, which was just a way for Zhao Er to increase his right to speak in the legal system.

Since ancient times, those who can make the emperor more famous are those who open up new territories and rule the roost on horseback.

How capable Zhao Da was in fighting can be seen in the history books, and in order to prove that he was no worse than the dead ghost brother, Zhao Er frequently showed off his military talents by personally conducting military expeditions.

To be fair, Zhao Guangyi can undoubtedly be called a military strategist.

It’s just that before this, we need to add the word “pseudo”. 】

Zhao Guangyi, who was lying on the ground, frowned slightly, feeling that this future generation was so rude.

Forget it, what I'm talking about now is what happened when he became emperor, so why not call him Zhao Jiong?

As for the display of military talents, it is both expected and expected.

After all, he had also seen the territory map of the Northern Song Dynasty at a glance and compared it with the current map. The biggest difference was of course the inclusion of the Northern Han Dynasty.

But if I do some mental calculation, my brother is still busy catching Li Yu this year, and it seems that the war will probably not end until next year.

And the things that happened a few months before my brother's death were not included in the war. Could it be that it was the destruction of the Northern Han Dynasty and the opening of the border...

But before he could finish his reverie, he heard the comments from later generations and couldn't help but be stunned for a moment:

Pseudo...military strategist?

At this moment, he heard his brother behind him sigh quietly:

“If we don’t regain the territory of the Han and Tang Dynasties, how can we dare to say that we have made great achievements in opening up new territories?”

[For Zhao Er at that time, if he wanted to use troops, he had almost only one choice: the Northern Han Dynasty.

Among the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, the Northern Han Dynasty has always firmly guarded Taiyuan and reached an offensive and defensive alliance with the Liao Kingdom.

Starting from Chai Rong, if you lead your army northward, you will have to face the fortified city that the Northern Han Dynasty has been operating for a long time. If you cannot capture it in a short time, you will have to face a pincer attack from the Liao reinforcements.

Even Chai Rong, who was praised as a military genius, did not solve this problem. Zhao Da's attack on the Northern Han Dynasty in 968 failed without success. At the time of his sudden death, he actually planned to attack the Northern Han Dynasty again, but the imperial army had not yet been transferred to Taiyuan. , Our own people were the first, so in the end we had no choice but to withdraw our troops again.

So after Zhao Er came to power and initially sorted out the internal affairs, he began to sharpen his sword towards the Northern Han Dynasty, planning to fight to strengthen his reputation. This can be said to be a painstaking plan.

In order to resolve the alliance between the Northern Han Dynasty and the Liao Kingdom, Zhao Eryi changed Zhao Dashi's approach and took the initiative to send envoys to show goodwill to the Liao Kingdom and frequently gave gifts to express goodwill.

This behavior soon gained the trust of Liao Jingzong. This Liao emperor had a gentle temperament and was an out-and-out conciliator towards the Song Dynasty.

In this situation where the man was in love with the concubine, the Liao and Song Dynasties also changed the tense situation when Zhao Da was alive and began to communicate with each other in the trade market.

Under such circumstances, Zhao Er began a diplomatic offensive. Before the official expedition to the Northern Expedition, he sent envoys six times to the Liao Kingdom to give gifts to express goodwill and promote the friendship between the two countries. However, at the same time, he also sent small groups of troops to attack the Northern Han Dynasty, forcing the Northern Han Dynasty to attack the Northern Han Dynasty. Liao asked for help.

This strategy is not unfamiliar to us modern people. It is a typical wolf is crying story.

Faced with repeated requests for help from the Northern Han Dynasty, the Liao Kingdom rushed to rescue at starry night and found that there was something bigger going on. The relationship between the two parties became increasingly bad, and the Liao Kingdom became more and more convinced of the weakness of the Song Dynasty.

When he planned to officially launch the Northern Expedition in 979, Zhao Guangyi sent envoys to inform the Liao Kingdom: I am going to attack the Northern Han Dynasty.

In this situation again and again, even a good old man like Liao Jingzong got mad and was determined to show some color to this restless little brother.

Although they decided to send troops to rescue again, everyone in the Liao Kingdom was convinced of the weakness of the Song Dynasty. The leader of the army, King Yelu Dilie, even broke away from the rear army and openly crossed the river in front of the Song army, which simply showed his contempt on his face.

The Song army defending here, led by the famous general Guo Jin, did not hesitate to cross the border and attack, achieving a great victory.

According to historical records, five generals of the Liao Kingdom were killed in battle, and more than 10,000 people were killed in battle.

Moreover, according to the History of the Song Dynasty, Guo Jin led a partial army. He achieved a great victory with a small number of victories. He was a rare famous general in the Song Dynasty.

In addition, according to historical records, Guo Jin served as the governor of Zizhou when he was a general in the Later Zhou Dynasty. He made outstanding achievements in local affairs.

Unfortunately, the endings of such generals in the Song Dynasty were often not very happy. Guo Jin died before the war was over. The records of his death in the Song Dynasty could not even give a unified statement.

Some say that he was jealous of his merits, and Tian Qinzuo falsely accused him of treason and committed suicide. Others say that Tian Qinzuo was secretly instigated by Zhao Er and bribed his own soldiers to assassinate Guo Jin while he was sleeping.

But in short, Guo Jin's victory completely repulsed the Liao reinforcements. Zhao Guangyi personally conquered Taiyuan and finally succeeded, and the Northern Han Dynasty was destroyed.

If things ended abruptly here, then this script would be perfect for Zhao Er.

But unfortunately, Zhao Er's repeated weakness caused the Liao State to misjudge the Song Dynasty and underestimated the enemy, leading to a major defeat.

The victory of Guo Jin's partial division also made Zhao Erzhi very satisfied. He neither rested nor rewarded, and directly ordered to attack Liao.

For Zhao Guangyi, if he could destroy the Northern Han Dynasty and regain the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun within one battle, then his prestige in the Song Dynasty would reach its peak, and those who chewed his tongue behind his back would spontaneously sing his praises. , the dark cloud hanging over his head about his brother's death will also disappear.

At the moment when he was riding north, he probably also thought of the emperor of the Tang Dynasty who, despite his despicable behavior, turned around his reputation because of his martial arts and martial arts...

In June 979, the Song army surrounded Youzhou City with a sure-to-win attitude. However, the defenders inside Youzhou City and the Liao army outside the city cooperated and defended the city very resolutely, and the two sides entered a tug of war.

Faced with this situation, Emperor Jingzong of the Liao Dynasty had no doubts about his employment and ordered Brother Yelvxiu to lead 100,000 troops. The most elite troops of the Five Academy were all commanded by one man, and rushed to the front line to fight the Song army for a decisive battle.

In the end, the Song army encountered enemies on three sides outside, and there were strange incidents of plotting to establish Dezhao inside. In the end, it was defeated unexpectedly.

The history of the Song Dynasty records this battle as defeat. Jiashen, Banshi, Zhao Da's hard-earned family fortune was completely lost.

After this battle, the Liao cavalry began to frequently go south to plunder, and the Song Dynasty's expectation of dominating the world completely turned into an unrealistic dream.

The record of this battle by the victorious Liao Kingdom is very clear. For example, it is recorded in the Chronicles of Liao Jingzong:

The Lord of the Song Dynasty only escaped with his body. He went to Zhuozhou and escaped in a donkey cart.

There are also records echoing this in the biography of Brother Yelvxiu:

The Lord of the Song Dynasty fled away. Brother Xiu was unable to ride because of his injuries. He chased him as far as Zhuozhou with his light chariot, but he returned before he could catch up.

There is also a poem praising this matter today:

The mourning master was hit by an arrow in Youyun's butt, and a donkey cart carried you back. 】

Zhao Guangyi in the palace was already ashamed and ashamed.

Zhao Kuangyin can only say that he is not surprised. After all, he is his younger brother. How can he not be clear about it?

Just thinking that these soldiers were all trained by me and my former Yishe brothers, but ended up being buried under Youzhou City, I couldn't help but feel pain in my heart.

For a moment, Zhao Kuangyin angrily paused twice on the ground with his jade ax, then stood up and kicked Zhao Guangyi over, who was lying on the ground, and said angrily:

You're a killer who won't die of hunger or cold, but you're not afraid of being cursed by the soldiers who died unjustly in Youzhou City and your flesh will fly in pieces!

Zhao Guangyi groaned in pain and finally couldn't help but wailed:

If you hit me again, you will die.

And why can't the Northern Han Dynasty take credit?

As soon as he said this, Zhao Kuangyin became even more irritated. He hit the chair with his palm and said loudly:

In the second year of Kaibao, I personally conquered the siege of Taiyuan, and then sent generals to fight the Khitan.

He Jiyun defeated the Khitans at Shiling Pass, and Han Chongbin even drove his horses and horses with the Khitans in Dingzhou, causing a huge defeat.

It's just that the Khitan was determined to aid the Northern Han Dynasty at that time, and there was a shortage of food and grass at that time, so they had to retreat.

There is no conspiracy or deception, and there is victory. How dare you, a turtle, boast about it?

This annoyance was also related to Guang Mu's relationship with Chen Bing in Taiyuan before his death.

If this bad thing can happen later, and the Southern Tang Dynasty is destroyed and the troops are well-equipped, why can't the Northern Han Dynasty be broken?

At that time, he conquered and destroyed the country that the Lord of Later Zhou Dynasty could do nothing about. However, he did not expect that it was only a step too late, and he actually became part of his brother's praise.

And it’s still like this…

A donkey cart carries you back. Later generations call you a fake general. It's true.

Zhao Guangyi suddenly lost the energy to say anything, although deep down he felt that this was probably a forgery.

After all, where can he find a donkey cart among the reasonable and rebellious army? He must have grabbed a mount from beside him and escaped. A donkey cart is not as useful as a carriage!

But seeing that his brother was still angry, Zhao Guangyi did not dare to say more, only hoping that the final Golden Chamber Alliance could restore some brotherhood.

Now that his life is not in danger, then King Jin’s treatment should be more reserved, right? There is also the governor of Kaifeng who wonders if he can keep one or two.

…

In the palace of General Chang'an of the Han Dynasty.

When it came to military affairs, neither Zhang Fei nor Ma Chao said anything. They stared closely at the light screen for fear of missing a word. After seeing the battle clearly, Zhang Fei couldn't help but sigh:

I think this Zhao Er is really a good brother. He has so many elite soldiers and generals to help him...

Seeing Liu Bei looking over with suspicious eyes, Zhang Fei quickly waved his hand:

I don't mean to complain about brother, there's nothing I can do about it...

Liu Bei felt as if a mouthful of old blood was stuck in his throat, and he felt extremely uncomfortable.

If he had known this, he shouldn't have looked at this third brother. He would have just assigned him some work after the light screen was over. So why couldn't he say a word that he was blocked now?

His expression changed several times, and finally Liu Bei could only say dullly:

I know.

Seeing that his elder brother didn't think much, Zhang Fei continued to shake his head and said:

Not to mention that Guo Jinzhi died. There was no reward or rest for conquering the fortified city. Instead, the soldiers were driven north to attack the fortified city again.

This soldier is not Zhao Er's slave, so why is he working so hard? The defeat of Youzhou was not unjust.

But this donkey cart can be faster than a horse carriage? Let's try it tomorrow.
