In the silence of the whole audience, Zhao Kuangyin tore off the white cloth with his right hand, revealing a young face, with heroic spirits between his eyebrows and eyes; his expression was refreshing and refreshing.

In this way, Zhao Kuangyin stood upright on Huangfu Hui's horse alone, as if he had entered a no-man's land, looking down at thousands of soldiers from the Southern Tang Dynasty at the top and bottom of the pass.

Legend is a legend, although it is not as dazzling and brilliant as in the original history.

When Zhao Kuangyin defected to the Later Zhou Dynasty, he first showed his strength and made his mark. During the Battle of Gaoping in the Northern Han Dynasty four years later, he won the attention of Zhou Shizong Chai Rong for his bravery and good plans, and began to become Chai Rong's favorite capable general.

When the Later Zhou emperor Chai Rong was ambitious and began to launch the plan to unify China, the Southern Tang was the first target of attack selected by the Great Zhou. At that time, Chai Rong personally led his army south to besiege Shouzhou, an important military city in Jiangbei, Southern Tang. After a long time, he began to surround the points and attack aid, and successively won four major victories in the Junkou, Qingliu Pass, Chuzhou and Liuhe. In each battle, Zhao Kuangyin charged forward, defeating the more with few, laying the foundation for the final capture of Shouzhou and the capture of the fourteen prefectures in Jiangbei, Huainan and Jiangbei. Among them, the two victories of Qingliu Pass and Chuzhou were the most important.

First, it was a sneak attack on Qingliu Pass. It is said that there was a three-dragon monument in Shenshan Temple, which was about the three emperors of Chai Rong, the Later Zhou emperor Zhao Kuangyin and Zhao Kuangyi, who took off the path to Dingyuan when attacking Qingliu Pass and settled in Shenshan Temple, and then surrounded and sneaked down Qingliu Pass. The temple was claimed to have ruins such as Chai Wangjing.

The Chuzhou victory was immediately followed.

Ouyang Xiu once wrote in "Fengleting Records": "Chu was a place where martial arts were used during the Five Dynasties. Emperor Taizu once used the Zhou army to defeat 150,000 Li Jing's troops at the foot of Qingliu Mountain, captured his general Huangfu Hui alive, and Yao Feng outside the east gate of Chu, and then pacified Chu."

A more detailed record is that after the Later Zhou army surrounded Qingliu Pass, the army focused on blocking the retreat route of the Southern Tang army. The guard general Huangfu Hui wanted to retreat immediately to Chuzhou City and defend himself with the broken bridge, but it was too late. In desperation, he sent someone to send a message to Zhao Kuangyin: "Everyone is the master of his own, I hope to fight with you." Then the whole line of remaining soldiers came out with the crowd.

At this time, the time for the brave Zhao Kuangyin's performance was up.

According to history, he saw him holding a horse's neck in his hand, and he rode alone into the enemy's formation, shouting repeatedly: "I want to capture Huangfu Hui alone, others are not our enemies." One man and one horse broke into Huangfu Hui, drew out a sharp sword, and slashed his head, and captured him. Yao Feng quickly jumped into the horse to fight, and was captured by Zhao Kuangyin. At this time, another Chuzhou governor Wang Shaoyan, who abandoned the city and fled, was added. Later, the Zhou army easily captured the Chuzhou city without a leader.

Chinese people have always loved to be the venerable. As for the top venerables who climbed the dragon and entered the house, they should not only be the venerable, but also be honored.

Because he later became the founding emperor of the Song Dynasty, among the various records in later generations, Zhao Kuangyin had countless mythological colors out of thin air since he was born:

For example, it is said that when Zhao Kuangyin was born, there was a red light shining all over the room. The strange fragrance did not dissipate overnight. His body was golden and had not changed for three days. In fact, there was no way to verify such things as red light. As for the fragrance, who has just given birth to a child without frankincense? As for the body being golden, scientifically speaking, it is very likely that it is just the most likely jaundice for children to suffer from infancy.

Since then, Comrade Zhao, who has been growing up, often encounters scary things, such as riding a fierce horse on the city wall, and hitting his head suddenly on the city wall. There is nothing wrong with the fact that his magical death in his later years has something to do with the blood stasis left in his head. He once went out with Han Lingkun to catch sparrows, but the house collapsed as soon as he left the door. Only then did he know if two and a half-sized friends were playing and tossed the house, and then he casually made up such a reason to escape from the crime.

Later, when Lao Zhao was traveling around the world, he actually didn't go to work or found a job and wandered around. He fell into a temple in Xiangyang. It is said that an old monk who was good at seeing Lao Zhao took the initiative to come forward and said, "I will fund all my property to you. If you go north, you will have an adventure." This is even more impossible to verify. Who witnessed this kind of thing on the spot? Only then did he know if the poor and poor Comrade Lao Zhao stole other people's money and concealed the story of beautification for himself.

However, Lao Zhao, who went north, surrendered to Guo Wei, the then Privy Councilor, in the first year of Qianyou in the Later Han Dynasty (948 AD), and followed the team to fight against Li Shouzhen and made many military achievements.

As for his famous works, the battle between Qingliuguan and Chuzhou, Comrade Zhao became even more brave, and captured Huangfu Hui and Yao Feng alone, and went to Chuzhou. After several major battles, all of them became his own contribution. I am afraid that it was the other people who later learned about his unparalleled future and took the initiative to hide and avoid giving in and not compete for merit with him.

In any case, the two great victory in Qingliuguan and Chuzhou were not only the profit of Chai Rong, the Later Zhou emperor, but also an important starting point for Comrade Zhao Kuangyin to make his fortune later:

First, Lao Zhao made consecutive contributions in the Huainan battle and was finally promoted from Yu Hou (Fifth Commander) in front of the Later Zhou Palace at that time to the inspection (Third Commander); later, the brave Comrade Lao Zhao received the order to rectify the army, which would not find a good opportunity for his own backbone team to be able to play lanterns in the future. The last and most important ones were that Lao Zhao obtained great trust from Emperor Chai Rong, and laid a solid foundation for the later command of the imperial guards step by step (Ren Du Jian and Rong was promoted to the top command), and thus became a minister who was ordered to entrust orphans.

Returning to the main story, just as Zhao Kuangyin showed his domineering spirit and Weizhen, Wu Qing's thick voice sounded inappropriately: "Don't panic, the soldiers of the Tang Dynasty, the King of Qi of the Tang Dynasty had an edict to me, so everyone can hold on to the city."

"brush".

When Wu Qing's voice just started, almost everyone's eyes turned to the troublemaker and found that the thick black man was holding a piece of yellow satin cloth in his hand, shaking desperately. The color of the cloth was somewhat similar to the legendary imperial decree.

"Don't move, believe it or not, I will kill Huangfu Hui with one knife." Zhao Kuangyin roared in anger when Wu Qing came out to make trouble, and his right hand was pinched into a knife and slashed twice.

"I have thousands of generals from the Tang Dynasty, and there is one general Huangfu, Yao Dujian, and the governor Wang. However, if Qingliu Pass and Chuzhou are lost, there will be no defense on the North Bank of Jinling. You have figured out what is the most important thing." Wu Qingshi walked to the closing door, shouted loudly, and spread the yellow cloth in his hand and shook it twice. "When the King of Qi left, he gave Wu a face-to-face advice. If Qingliu Pass changes, everything is to defend the pass and Chuzhou. If necessary, Wu will be allowed to act according to the opportunity. Now, I order to close the door and the soldiers out of the city to fight with me."

After saying that, Wu Qing put Huang Bu in his arms and rushed towards Huangfu Hui's horse.

Zhao Kuangyin did not expect Wu Qing to do it as soon as he said that, so he had to kick the horse's belly and force the horse to sideways to avoid it.

Wu Qing looked like a crazy tiger, and slashed at the sword. He took the time to stare at Huangfu Hui and shouted: "The person surnamed Zhao does not dare to kill the old general. If you don't protect the master, if you don't rescue the old general, the old general and Qingliu Pass will be finished, and we will be finished."

Hearing this sentence, Huangfu Hui, who had been blushing and closed his eyes and cried, opened his eyes and glanced at Wu Qing in a hurry, and suddenly shouted: "Listen to Wu Qing, do it." Because of the violent struggle, the blade suddenly cut a hole in his neck, and blood suddenly flowed.

Several personal guards looked at each other and began to drive forward, and the knife in their hands also waved.

Zhao Kuangyin roared wildly, his fist came out and hit Huangfu Hui's temple, knocking him out in an instant, then his left hand moved, slashed Huangfu Hui's thigh, then quickly moved back to his neck, roaring: "Don't force me to kill people now."

The actions of several personal guards were frozen again.

Zhao Kuangyin kicked Wu Qing away, who was rushing towards him again, and drove his horse back.

At this time, there was only a "clang" sound, and the south gate of Qingliu Pass fell, and the soldiers on the wall also pulled the bowstrings and pointed them at Zhao Kuangyin and Zhou Bing under the city.

"He killed General Huangfu and avenged General Huangfu." Wu Qing roared angrily and rushed towards the retreating Zhao Kuangyin. Tao Chun and Zou Shengping also rushed towards the Zhou soldiers with their soldiers.
