The first prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 1666 Zhao Xu Visits Tanzhou ([-])
"It's very simple to see that there is no request from the people. Even a word can make people feel boiling. This is our people. No matter how hard or tired they are, they are not afraid. The only fear is not having a sense of belonging!"

Zhao Xu looked at the people in front of him and said with emotion, these people have been under the rule of the Liao Kingdom for a long time, and to a large extent they are already considered as people of the Liao Kingdom, but they did not give up and always reminded themselves that they are Han people , The blood flowing in the blood is the blood of the Han people, so they can persist until now. When they saw Zhao Xu coming, they cheered enthusiastically.

They all have a natural affection, or a sense of belonging. The imperial court was weak and did not give up on them. Now the imperial court has begun to settle accounts with Khitan, and it belongs to a heavyweight figure named Zhao Xu.

The legendary prince of the Song Dynasty, these people are all boiling, just like what Zhao Xu said, these people already feel very happy like this.

"How about this, let's distribute some of the food in our big camp to the people. It must be difficult for them to live for so many years. It is equivalent to giving them some compensation."

"The prince has caused the people of Tanzhou to be harassed and invaded by the Liao Kingdom for many years. He deliberately opened up the army's military rations to compensate everyone. Don't you want to thank you?"

Tao Bing is now sent to be the magistrate of the state, his father Tao Gu still doesn't agree, how dangerous it is here, but Tao Bing's attitude is very firm, in the end Tao Gu has no choice but to agree.

"Thank you, Your Highness, for your kindness."

When these people heard that the court was still so righteous, not only did the court not give up on them, but they were still thinking about them in their hearts.

"The Great Song Dynasty is mighty!" Someone shouted at this time, it was like a drop of oil falling into the fire, and it ignited a fire that soared into the sky.

Long live the Song Dynasty, these four words shook the city of Tanzhou. Tao Bing never thought that such a casual sentence would cause such a big reaction, and this was also unexpected to him.

"Have Tao Bing seen it? This is the people's will. The previous court was too cowardly. Otherwise, it would be impossible to take back the entire Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures with the current people's support. These people have suffered so much for nothing. This is all our court's fault!"

Tao Bing finally persuaded these common people to go back, but even after persuading them to go back, many people came to the state government office to express their desire to see His Highness the Crown Prince, many of them came with their belongings.

"What a simple people. By the way, you have to personally handle the matter of letting the people come here to receive food. It must be implemented in every household, and there must be no one less."

Song Dynasty has plenty of food now, and there is no bad harvest at all in the harvest year. There are more corn and potatoes, so Zhao Xu doesn't worry about the food problem at all, even in the year of catastrophe There is no problem.

"Don't worry, I will definitely do it. I will supervise these things all the way, and there will be no problems. If there is nothing to do, I will go to this period."

Tao Bing was also a man of action. He acted when he said he would act, and he disappeared in a blink of an eye. Zhao Xu also shook his head helplessly.

"Brother-in-law, my father was very beautiful this time, and defeated those coalition forces. This time we prepared so much kerosene, and the kerosene caused them to lose tens of thousands of people at once. Fire oil has been buried outside the city, otherwise it would not have achieved such good results."

Gao Qiong walked in excitedly, holding the battle report that Gao Huaide said in his hand, the [-] coalition forces lost [-] to [-] at once, and the real people in Goryeo and Liao were basically reimbursed, and the rest were basically People from the Wanyan tribe, and Wanyan Bahai really grew up after this battle.

"Okay, I already know that it's because those coalition forces are at odds with each other, otherwise we wouldn't be able to win so easily. Now we should have a chat with those races under the Khitan rule. In fact, they also want to get rid of it. Khitan's control."

The distance between Zhao Xu and Gao Huaide is not far. He also knows these things. He has his own ideas. To defeat the Khitan will not only require sacrifice, but more importantly, it can also be disintegrated from the inside. After all, the Khitan ruled such a vast land and there are many tribes. But will they pull together, the answer is no.

For example, isn't that what the Wanyan tribe is like this time, so Zhao Xu also sent people to contact those tribal leaders with ulterior motives, and I believe they will come soon.

The place where Zhao Xu saw them was definitely not here, but in the big tent of the Chinese army. After all, this was where the Song army was based, and it was here that Zhao Xu took command.

"This is politics. In war, you must not only have an agile back, but also have a political mind. Gao Qiong, you have to learn more, otherwise you can only be a reckless martial artist, understand?" Zhao Xu is teaching Gao Qiong Joan, you must not just be a martial artist, you must have a brain.

"I don't know so much. I only know how to fight every battle well. I don't care about other things. I don't want to touch politics. I still enjoy being a general."

Gao Qiong shook his head, he also doesn't like those adults in the court, they can't learn their own way, so let's be your own general honestly, it's so simple, don't need to think about other things, just obey the above Just direct.

"Hey, I don't know what to say about you. Anyway, there is no need to wait for the Liao Kingdom to be cleaned up now, and then we can make a decision. Let Wang Yansheng, Wang Yanchao, and Hu Yanzan come over. I want to talk to him."

The few people Zhao Xu said were all generals guarding the border. They were not famous, because you were not here often, but they were all famous generals.

Let's just talk about Wang Yanchao. Before Zhao Kuangyin made his fortune, he was already a member of the party.

Zhao Kuangyin wanted to seek refuge with Wang Yanchao, who was then the defense envoy of Fuzhou.Zhao Kuangyin's father, Zhao Hongyin, and Wang Yanchao are colleagues and friends, and are family friends.

However, Wang Yanchao didn't take him in. He just gave Zhao Kuangyin ten pennies of money and sent Zhao Kuangyin away.After Zhao Kuangyin left Fuzhou, he went to Suizhou (now Suixian County, Hubei Province) and took refuge in Dong Jingben, the governor of Suizhou.

After Zhao Kuangyin established the Northern Song Dynasty, he never forgot this unsatisfactory past.Once, Zhao Kuangyin and Wang Yanchao hosted a banquet and hunted, and when they were drunk, they said, "I have come to Fuzhou to vote for you in the past. Why didn't you accept it?" It is God's will to stay in Xiaojun!" Zhao Kuangyin laughed after hearing this, and stopped pursuing the past.

In other words, these people were all veterans, and they had been guarding the border for so many years because of their ability. Zhao Xu's instructions were also very simple, just let them rest in place to prepare for the future war.
