On the 5th day of the first lunar month of the first year of Xiande in Zhou (954), Chai Rong obtained the entire military power of the Great Zhou Dynasty. On the 11th, Guo Wei issued an order to ignore the minor matters, and Chai Rong reported to him to be buried in the big matters. He also told Chai Rong that he would be buried in the second half after his death. He also told Chai Rong that Li Hongyi should let him be the governor, and Wei Renpu should leave him in the Privy Council. On the 15th, he ordered Zhou Xun to go to control the broken Yellow River. On the 17th, Wang Pu, Feng Dao, Fan Zhi, and Li Gu were appointed as prime ministers of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and Guo Wei said, "I have no hatred", which made him die in the Zide Hall that day.

On the 21st day of the first lunar month of the first year of Zhou Xiande (954), Chai Rong was sitting on the throne at this time and accepted the worship of all officials. Although all officials lowered their heads, they probably muttered in their hearts: The late emperor is really. Although your biological sons were killed by Liu Chengyou, you still have a daughter (if there is a daughter, there is a son-in-law: Zhang Yongde) and a sister (if there is a sister, there is a nephew: Li Chongjin). Why choose such a yellow-haired boy who has no blood relationship with you and no military merits and prestige to succeed him? The late emperor! What did you think? In fact, Guo Wei on the hospital bed did this: He sent Zhang Yongde out of the capital, pressed Li Chongjin's head to the ground, and asked him to kowtow to Chai Rong!

Of course, later we all knew that Chai Rong would be the most dazzling meteor in the chaotic times of the Five Dynasties. He was the first hero among all the emperors of the eight surnames and thirteen kings of the Five Dynasties (Zhu, Zhu Xie, Miao Jilie, Wang, Shi, Liu, Guo, and Chai were the eight surnames. Speaking of the 13 kings, I had to complain to King Ying Zhu Yougui: Why don’t I take me to play? I have been the emperor for more than 8 months, and I have been longer than Li Conghou and Chai Zongxun. Why are they all ranked among the 13 kings, but I was removed from the list? Could it be because I killed my father and seized the throne?)! But now none of the officials would think so, and their mortal enemy Liu Chong would not...

In Taiyuan City, a eunuch quietly entered the palace. He gently called out: Emperor, great news. The emperor immediately opened his eyes. This was not an ordinary thing. Usually, eunuchs came to him and said that the envoy of the Liao Kingdom had come. Should they prepare some gold beauties or something? The good news is too strange. So the emperor stared at the eunuch. If you can't say anything good news worth disturbing my rest, I will lock you in a brothel to make you feel uncomfortable. The eunuch report: Guo Wei is dead.

OK, great! The emperor was energetic. We all know that this emperor is Liu Chong from the Northern Han Dynasty. He thought excitedly: Guo Wei, the old fox, played our Liu family all the way, but he eventually lost, losing to his own life. Next, there is an unknown boy (of course, referring to military achievements), and it is time for the father to pay off his debts and sons.

In February of the first year of Zhou Xiande (954), Chai Rong succeeded to the throne for only half a month. Liu Chong ordered 30,000 soldiers and more than 10,000 Khitan cavalry from Yang Gun sent to him by his second uncle Yelu Jing. Zhang Yuanhui, the first general of the Northern Han Dynasty, took the lead and deceived the soldiers in Luzhou. He attacked the soldiers in Luzhou City, and killed the general Mu Lingjun and 2,000 soldiers. Li Yun, the governor of Zhaoyi, who was stationed in Luzhou (real name Li Rong, changed to avoid Chai Rong's taboo. Later, Zhao Kuangyin's Chenqiao mutiny, he was the first governor to jump out of the confrontation) avoided the enemy's edge, retreated to Shangdang, and sent a document to the capital Bianliang. As a result, a debate that was destined to be recorded in history forever was staged...

Chai Rong sat alone in the palace, facing all officials alone. When the news of Liu Chong and Liao Kingdom invasion came, the officials were a little panicked. Chai Rong was angry at first, and he obviously didn't take himself seriously. However, when he thought about it, he was a little happy. Maybe he had been waiting for this news since the first day he became emperor. He needed this war so much that it would help him gain military merits, establish prestige, and prove himself. So he told the officials that he was preparing to fight in person. But the officials had opposed it all. Chai Rong had long expected someone to oppose it, but he did not expect that the one who took the lead in the 5,000-year history of China

, the old man Feng Dao Feng Laoxian, who will not offend people the most. If it were others, it would be fine, but Feng Dao is old, and the late emperor Guo Wei is his student. So Chai Rong could only bear the anger and reason with Lord Feng. However, who is Feng Laoxian? How many emperors have he met? He can publish a book on the way of the emperor. Whatever he said, Chai Rong, who was 34 years old and nameless, had to listen! In desperation, Chai Rong moved a reinforcement from history. "In the past, Emperor Taizong of Tang pacified the world and went to war in person. How dare I steal the peace?" When he heard this, all the officials laughed. What? I have been doing this for only two days.

The emperor compares himself to Emperor Taizong of Tang? Who is Li Shimin? You are also comparable to you? Emperor Taizong of Tang joined the army to kill enemies at the age of sixteen. Most of the Tang Dynasty was defeated by Li Shimin. What were you doing when you were 16? Probably selling Tieguanyin in Jiangnan? The Great Zhou Dynasty fell into your arms. What do you have compared with Emperor Taizong of Tang? The officials stopped talking, afraid that they would laugh out loud without controlling their mouths. But it is not possible to never speak. The emperor above had already noticed the ridicule of the officials, and his face began to be a little angry. Feng Laoxian, who was the deepest Taoist master, took three deep breaths, breaking the embarrassing and somewhat funny silence. "I don't know

Can Your Majesty become Emperor Taizong of Tang? "Have courage! All officials secretly gave Feng Dao a thumbs up from behind. But the admiration of all officials only lasted for a while because they all discovered bad signs. Boss Feng might have made things worse this time, and the emperor would get angry. Chai Rong was silent for a while and decided to win people with virtue. He asked Mount Tai to help the punch again. "My army is strong, and defeating Liu Chong is like Mount Tai pressing eggs." When Chai Rong said Emperor Taizong of Tang, some officials thought the emperor was playing humor. When he came to Mount Tai, he had already burst into laughter in the hall. Old Xian Feng subconsciously fought back, "I don't know if Your Majesty can do Mount Tai."

Silence, very bad silence. Feng Dao regretted it as soon as he spoke. He saw the emperor's face and thick neck, and Feng Dao's forehead had sweat. This is not regretting the fear of sweat coming out, it is sweating, sweating when he was sick. Feng Dao was 73 years old this year and was seriously ill. At this time, there were two months before Feng Dao's last death... Wang Pu, the prime minister appointed by Guo Wei before his death, broke the horrifying deadlock in the debate. He saved Feng Dao, otherwise Feng Laoxian's five-generation Guinness record that had not fallen for 50 years would end on the spot. Chai Rong and the Great Zhou Dynasty also saved Chai Rong and the Great Zhou Dynasty. Otherwise Chai Rong would lose his mind in anger and forget that his purpose was to defeat the enemy, rather than practice with the ministers.

Wang Pu stood up and gave high praise to the emperor's idea of ​​facing a strong enemy and going out for war. He also criticized the ministers' conservatism. This is how the Chinese people are. It is difficult to unite, but it is easy to disband. When they see that there are traitors inside, some people immediately turned against each other, and changed from boycotting the emperor to boycotting Feng Dao. In the end, Chai Rong won the victory of this verbal battle. On March 11, Chai Rong successfully set out from Bianliang. Before leaving, he summoned Liu Ci and entrusted his fate: General Liu quickly assembled all the reserve forces of our army and followed me as soon as possible! Be sure to be fast! Liu Ci, who had been through the battlefield for a long time, did not look excited, but just nodded calmly.

On March 19, 954, Chai Rong met Liu Chong in Gaoping. The Battle of Gaoping in history is quite famous. Chai Rong relied on the Battle of Gaoping, while Zhao Kuangyin made his fortune by relying on the Battle of Gaoping. However, Chai Rong was determined to lose in this battle. It was entirely because of the personal performances of Chai Rong and Zhao Kuangyin that the Battle of Gaoping was so dramatic, which also made us convinced that these two emperors were indeed the dragons among people, the destined king...

Chai Rong was really pitiful at this time (the military governors in the world, except for Liu Ci and others, were all still and did not like the end of the Battle of Gaoping) and were successfully lured to Ba Gongyuan by Liu Chong. Chai Rong's troops were arranged into four square formations: Bai Chongzan on the left, Li Chongjin on the right, Fan Aineng and He Hui on the middle, Xiang Xun and Shi Yanchao's elite soldiers. The last square formation was the commander Zhang Yongde who led the imperial guards of the palace to protect the emperor. The enemy opposite was divided into three square formations. Zhang Yuanhui, the first general of the Northern Han Dynasty, was in the east, and Yang Gun's Liao army was in the west. Liu Chong's central army was in the Ba Gongyuan. Liu Chong himself

There were 30,000 soldiers, plus more than 10,000 Liao troops, and nearly 50,000 coalition forces. What about Chai Rong's side? Through an episode in the battle, Liu Chong could roughly estimate the opponent's strength. During the battle, the entire right phalanx surrendered to Liu Chong. Liu Chong went to count, and there were less than 2,000 people. Through a simple calculation, Liu Chong knew that Chai Rong's full army was only about 8,000. Seeing that there were so few Zhou soldiers, Liu Chong regretted, "I can defeat the Han army. Why should I use the Khitan? Today, not only defeated Zhou, but also convinced the Khitan." So he asked Yang Gun to watch the battle, and he and Zhang Yuanhui attacked each other and swear to wipe out the Zhou soldiers!

Zhang Yuanhui, the first general of the Northern Han Dynasty, led the cavalry to attack Fan Aineng and He Hui's infantry formation. With few enemies and more enemies, they defeated the cavalry with their brains? Is his brain broken? What's more, Chai Rong, who has been oppressed by Wang Jun, why should I let me work hard for him? Fan and He turned their horses and fled! They had horses to escape, but those infantry only had two legs and could not escape far, so they were caught up by Zhang Yuanhui. They were very enlightened and immediately threw away their weapons, took off their armor, knelt on the ground, and shouted to Liu Chong in the distance: Long live long live long live long live long...

Liu Chong heard this, and the voice was even more charming than those beautiful concubines called out. Chai Rong also heard this voice, and he hated Yasuo in his heart, and at the same time, more of Feng Dao's constantly squirming mouth appeared in front of him: You are not Emperor Taizong of Tang, you are not Taishan...

The sound of "Long Live" resounded throughout the battlefield, and all the other Later Zhou soldiers were shocked. Chai Rong's fatal wound was fully exposed in the first battle he faced! His army was right in front of him, the emperor, and immediately rebelled as soon as he fought with the enemy. The already unstable morale was extremely shaken! The most fatal thing was that he had no prestige, no military merit, and no capital to turn him over! The only thing that was beneficial to him now was the wind direction, which gradually changed from the northeast wind at the beginning of the war to the south wind. In this way, the Zhou army attacked the Han army with a smooth wind. It was not easy for Han army to attack the Zhou army. This was not easy! Can you grasp this only advantage, Chai Rong?

Liu Chong smiled. A battle will determine the country! I, Liu Chong, want... No! I, Liu Chong, have already won! The world is still our surname is Liu! But what he could not even dream of was that almost the next moment, he met Chai Rong face to face!

Chai Rong, who was in desperate situation, passed through the chaos of the battlefield, and looked at the center of the Northern Han Army in the distance - Liu Chong's place! Very good and very good! Suddenly, Chai Rong made an action that stunned everyone on both sides. He rode his horse and rushed towards Liu Chong!

The great emperor was so desperate and beating in the battle of his career. When he rode his horse out, he didn't even know what he would be, but he knew he had to do this - because he didn't want to be a prisoner, or live as a loser in humiliation! Even if he died, he would fall on the road to charge! In this way, he rushed through layers of people and split all obstacles, and Chai Rong rushed to Liu who began to celebrate his victory without hesitation.

Chong! However, Chai Rong was extremely sad at this time, because he clearly heard that he did not follow too many horse hooves and shouts of killing behind him, which means that not many people were following him! Chai Rong, who was struggling with all his might, was helpless about this, but what he never expected was that a decisive change to him and Chinese history had happened behind him at this time. Another extremely heroic and great person also stood up at this time and broke out in an instant! (To be continued)
