I will never be Renzong

Chapter 202
Outside the city of Kaifeng, on the flat cement road, a group of cavalry was galloping at high speed carrying eight hundred miles of urgent military reports. They brought bad news to Zhao Zhen, and Zhao Zhen had to put aside the matter of minting coins for the time being.

In the Chongzheng Hall, Zhao Zhen also urgently summoned a group of civil and military ministers, and even Cao Wei, the Duke of Qi who was sick at home, was invited by Zhao Zhen.

The civil servants saw that the generals who were rarely seen were summoned by the officials today, thinking that there must be a problem in the frontier, and they were all wondering whether the problem was in the north, the south, or the west.

Since the sixth year of Tiansheng, Zhao Zhen has implemented the separation of military power, executive power, and legislative power. Therefore, except for the Zhengdan Grand Court Meeting, military generals are not in the court, and they meet Zhao Zhen alone when they have something to do. Therefore, civil servants can see military generals throughout the year. few.

"His Majesty is here!"

The servant Zhang Mao shouted loudly.

"Your Majesty, please pay my respects! Your Majesty Wan An!"

The civil servants and military generals who were urgently summoned paid homage in unison.

"All the ministers are exempted from gifts!"

After Zhao Zhen took his seat, he said directly: "There is a problem in the west, let's make a long story short, Yang Wenguang, please read the eight hundred miles urgent military report from Qinzhou to all the ministers!"

"It's Your Majesty!"

Yang Wenguang hurriedly said respectfully, then opened the military newspaper and read it aloud.

After Yang Wenguang finished reading, everyone realized that it was the Qingtang Tubo tribe who had a problem.

In the fourth year of Tiansheng, Zhao Zhen crusade against the party Li Deming, Qingtang Tubo Zanpu Zanpu sent troops to occupy Liangzhou, and cut off Li Yuanhao's retreat. Relying on the Song Dynasty, so the Tubo tribes in the land of Xihe relied on Jisiluo one after another.

As a result, Zongsiluo expanded its territory, owning large areas including Qingtang City, Xunhua City, Xige City, Zongge City, Langzhou, Huangzhou, Diezhou, Taozhou, Minzhou, Hezhou, Xizhou, etc. In the territory, there are nearly 60 Tubo tribes with more than [-] soldiers.

Zusiluo was in his prime and wanted to unify Tubo and rebuild the Tubo Empire during the prosperous Tang Dynasty. Therefore, he left Prime Minister Wen Buqi to station in Qingtang, while he personally led an army of [-] towards Luoche.

In 842 A.D., Zanplandama of Tubo was assassinated by a monk, and his son Yundan competed with Esong for the throne.Yundan took Wuru as its base, and Esong took Yunru as its base. The supporters of both sides fought on a large scale, which was known as the "Wuyue War" in history.

In the great chaos in Tubo, the overwhelmed slaves and subjects rebelled, and finally turned into a nationwide uprising.The leaders of the rebel army dug up the tombs of Zamp and the nobles and massacred the nobles and royal families.Most of these rebels were spontaneous and blind, and were eventually suppressed or used by the nobles, and all failed.But in the end, Tubo could no longer build a unified country and became a fragmented situation.

After Zhao Zhen succeeded to the throne, Tubo was roughly divided into more than ten separatist regimes, including the Lhasa royal family, the Guge royal family, Ladakh, Yalongjue'a, Pulan, Yaze, and Qingtang Jisiluo.

Hesiluo is indeed a rare hero, but he believed in Wen Buqi wrongly. Not long after he led the army to set off, Wen Buqi launched a rebellion, took control of Qingtang City, established himself as Zanpu, and sent Zanpu to Zanpu. Si Luo's supporters were all beheaded.

After Zongsiluo received the news, he hurriedly withdrew his troops to counter the rebellion, but Wen Buqi and Li Yuanhao colluded and set up an ambush halfway to attack Zongsiluo. Zongsiluo died in battle, and the [-] Qingtang troops either surrendered to Li Yuanhao or surrendered Yu Wen Buqi.

After Wen Buqi took control of Qingtang and Tubo, he implemented high-pressure rule internally. All the tribes that refused to surrender were wiped out, and the army was quickly expanded to 10. Under Li Yuanhao's instigation, Wen Buqi commanded 3000 troops to surround Qinzhou, Qinzhou's defenders are less than [-] people, and they are in danger.

After Gansu Road Governor Zhong Shiheng heard about it, he immediately led [-] cavalry to rescue, but he didn't want to meet Li Yuanhao who was marching eastward, so the two armies fought in Huizhou.

It is worth mentioning that Li Yuanhao used some kind of trick to catch up with the Wei Mu family, and then together with the Wei Mu family, killed the general Yeli Wangrong, and took control of Liangzhou, Zhuoluo Prefecture, Suzhou, Xuanhuafu, Guazhou, In Shazhou and other places, there are more than [-] soldiers and horses under his command.

After Zhao Zhen received the report from Jin Yiwei's secret agent, he couldn't help being taken aback. He didn't expect Wei Mu to choose his lover in the end between his lover and his son. It's just a pity that Yeli Wangrong died, and he didn't die. On the battlefield, he died by his own sword instead.

After Yang Wenguang finished reading the military newspaper, the civil servants present glanced at each other and did not reply. They just began to think about the odds of winning this battle, how much it would cost, and whether it would affect people's livelihood and other issues.

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Qi Guogong Cao Wei coughed a few times, then bent his body and said: "Officials! There is a kind-hearted general like Shiheng on Gansu Road, and Li Yuanhao can't take advantage of him. What I am worried about is Qinzhou. Although Di Qing, the commander-in-chief of Qinzhou, is brave and good at fighting, he only has more than [-] men under his command, and [-] of them are heavy armored cavalry, who are not good at defending the city. The situation is heavy, and I ask Your Majesty to send troops to rescue Qinzhou as soon as possible."

At the beginning, Zhao Zhen didn't want the heavy armored cavalry of the Song Dynasty to be pampered all the time, so he sent a battalion to garrison Qinzhou, in order to adapt to life in the west and prepare for the future attack on the whole territory of Tubo.

Prime Minister Wang once said: "Your Majesty! At present, our dynasty focuses on the development of internal affairs. If a war breaks out, I am afraid that all previous efforts will be in vain. I believe that Wen Buqi led the army to come here just to ask our court. The title of title is so convenient to control the various ministries of Tubo, I think that I should appease Wen Buqi right now, and after the imperial army defeats Li Yuanhao, it is not too late to settle accounts with Wen Buqi!"

Cao Wei reasoned and said: "Your Majesty! Previously, Zong Siluo had good relations with our dynasty, and all ethnic groups in Tubo traded with the people on our border, and people's minds were settled. But now Wen Buqi and Li Yuanhao killed Zong Siluo, relying on It is a time when people's hearts are uncertain, and it is definitely an excellent time to send troops to conquer Wen Buqi, and I hope Your Majesty will think twice!"

After the civil servants and generals had finished expressing their opinions, Zhao Zhen pondered for a while, and then said: "All the people in Tubo are soldiers, and I must not be Wen Buqi who is hostile to our dynasty to control Qingtang. Otherwise, the border of the Song Dynasty will never be peaceful. Furthermore, I can send troops at this time to avenge Qingtang Hou's righteousness."

"Your Majesty is wise!"

A group of generals hurriedly worshiped.

Seeing that Zhao Zhenyi had made up his mind and couldn't say anything more, the civil servants vassalized one after another.

Zhao Zhen glanced at the crowd and said, "I plan to send 16 troops from the left and the right to go out!"

"Hou Taiyuan!"

"Chen is here!"

Wang De hurriedly walked out from the crowd of generals, and then worshiped.

"I ordered you to be the commander-in-chief of the army on the right, leading an army of [-] to conquer Li Yuanhao!"

"Chen Wang Deyong takes orders! Willing to die for His Majesty!"

Wang Deyong is in his prime of life, it is a great opportunity to make contributions, and he is also the most suitable person to be in command among the generals in Beijing.

"As for the commander of the army on the left."

Zhao Zhen glanced at the generals, a little hesitant.
