The first prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 472

This big man was Zhou Xingfeng, and now the local tyrant in Hunan, a piece of information immediately appeared in Zhao Xu's mind, which was about Zhou Xingfeng.

This is the detailed information Su Yiwei collected about Zhou Xingfeng. Fortunately, Zhao Xu imprinted him in his mind.

Zhou Xingfeng is from Wuling, Hunan. He is an out-and-out person from the bottom of the lower ranks to become the actual ruler of Hunan. We have to admire him for this.

When he was young, he didn't do his job properly, he did all kinds of bad things like fighting and fighting, and he was tattooed for committing crimes, with words carved on his face.

Later, he may know that it is not a big deal for him to do this, he has no great prospects, and he must find a job to do it, so he went to join the army.

At that time, it was still under the Ma Chu regime, which was a dynasty centered on Hunan.

Because his name is Ma Yin, the history of this regime is called Ma Chu, also known as Nan Chu, Ma Chu State, and Ma Chu Regime, and Tanzhou is the capital of the king.

It is also a big regime among the ten countries, with a total of 24 states and 5 towns including Wu'an, Wuping, and Jingjiang.

Zhou Xingfeng was a small soldier in the Jingjiang Army at that time. Don't think that Zhou Xingfeng is not good at farming, he is a good fighter, and he is also very brave in fighting, and he has slowly risen.

And all the way from a small soldier to a military academy, he gradually became the deputy commander of this army, and became "ten brothers" with Wang Jinkui, Pan Shusi, Zhang Wenbiao and others, and slowly cultivated his own power.

Originally, being so honest could make him a general, but the times are too early to be a hero. For him, Zhou Xingfeng, the times make heroes, but for the King of Chu at that time, it was just that people would not die if they did not die. die.

Ma Xie, king of Chu, is licentious and immoral, and does everything. As the lords of a country, these guys just don't do practical things.

At that time, his mansion of King Chu was destroyed by fire, so he ordered Xingfeng, Wang Kui and others to lead soldiers to repair the mansion of King Chu that was destroyed by fire.

This is normal, but this guy requires that the work must be completed within one month, isn't this nonsense, this is simply impossible.

He also sent out a supervising army to monitor, and the soldiers worked hard, and if they were negligent, they would be beaten and kicked. The soldiers couldn't stand it, so they killed the supervising army.

Wang Kui and Xing Fengsui led their troops to flee back to Langzhou (now Changde, Hunan), and elected Ma Guanghui as Wuping Jiedu envoy. Later, because Ma Guanghui was ignorant and cowardly, Liu Yan was elected as Wuping Jiedu envoy temporarily after Quan Wuping stayed.

Zhou Xingfeng came up with these ideas, was it also for survival at that time, and it was just because of this that civil strife broke out in Chu State.

At this time, Southern Tang took the opportunity to send general Bian Hao to attack Southern Chu, the capital Changsha was captured, Ma Xie and others surrendered to Southern Tang, and the Chu regime perished.

Zhou Xingfeng followed Wang Jinkui to become Liu Yan's general who occupied Langzhou, so Zhou Xingfeng said to Liu Yan:
"Although we have different political views from the king of Chu, our country has been destroyed, and we have to take revenge and restore the country."

This proposal was approved by most people, so Liu Yan ordered Wang Jinkui and others to attack Bian Hao, the general who destroyed Chu in the Southern Tang Dynasty.

It was easy to regain Tanzhou, the old capital of Chu that was occupied by the Southern Tang Dynasty, and Zhou Xingfeng led other troops to attack Yiyang, and captured his general Liu Jianqi and others.

Liu Yan then surrendered to Hou Zhou, and Zhou Xingfeng was appointed governor of Jizhou and Wang Jinkui's marching Sima.

Zhou Xingfeng and Wang Jinkui are sworn brothers, of course they have a good relationship and wear a pair of pants, you Liu Yan are only their boss.

Liu Yan also couldn't see that their strength was developing too fast, so he deliberately restricted them, of course mainly targeting Wang Jinkui.

Wang Jinkui is also the overlord of one side, how can he be allowed to be bullied by you at this time, the conflict between the two is getting more and more intensified.

"Brother Wang was the one who pushed him to this position at the beginning. It's fine if he doesn't thank us, but he is always on guard against us. I can't swallow this breath. It seems that our situation is not very good. Why don't we act first?" powerful."

"Brother Zhou, what do you say? Brother listens to you. You are more intelligent. What do you say? Brother will listen to you."

Wang Jinkui is also just a reckless person who doesn't have much brains at all. It's okay to let him fight in the battlefield, but he can't use his brain to plot tricks.

"Brother Wang, I think it is better for us to take the initiative to attack than to sit and wait for death. The younger brother leads people to hold Liu Yan in the front, and the elder brother leads people to sneak attack from behind and capture Liu Yan. By then, the big event will be decided. The imperial court will also logically designate elder brother as Jiedu envoy."

Wang Jinkui heard that this is not bad, it is a good thing, it sounds very good, and he can still be a Jiedu envoy, how can he disagree with this good thing.

So under Zhou Xingfeng's persuasion, Wang Kui teamed up with Zhou Xingfeng and finally succeeded in capturing and killing Liu Yan. Later Zhou Taizu Guo Wei appointed Kui as Wuping Jiedushi, and Xingfeng was appointed by Kui as Zhitanzhou Affairs.

Later, after knowing that Wumin's change of master was planned by Zhou Xingfeng, Zhou Xingfeng was appointed as the envoy of the Wuqing army in the later Zhou Dynasty, and he had the right to know the affairs of Tanzhou.

Later, when Pan Shusi killed Wang Jinkui, he couldn't convince the crowd, and he didn't dare to be a military envoy. His prestige was not enough. Now only Zhou Xingfeng can bear this burden, so he sent people to Tanzhou to meet Zhou Xingfeng Enter Wuling.

After Zhou Xingfeng took power, in order to calm down the dissatisfaction of the subordinates, he directly killed Pan Shusi, and he truly became the local tyrant of Hunan.

Now that this person was standing in front of him, Zhao Xu also looked at him seriously. He looked like an ordinary person, nothing special.

Such a person is the scariest, making you not care about such a person, once you make a move, you will be hard to guard against.

"It turned out to be Zhou Jianjun from Wuping. I'm being polite. I don't know what General Zhou meant by shooting arrows at us just now?"

Even if you are Zhou Xingfeng, so what, you were planning to destroy your Wuping, but now you still order people to shoot arrows at me, do you think I'm easy to bully?
"Hehe, the subordinates are reckless. I don't know the son's name, why are you here?"

Zhou Xingfeng didn't say he was angry because of Zhao Xu's questioning. If other people were questioned by a young man like this, they would definitely not let it go.

But Lao Zhou greeted him with a smile, which gave Zhao Xu a slight liking for him. Such a person could really bear it.

In fact, he didn't know that Zhou Xingfeng was worried about the hundreds of people around him. With his many years of fighting career, he could feel that these people were not simple.

I'm afraid that people like myself are not their opponents at all. In this case, people like me may stay here, so it's better to greet them with a smile.

If Zhao Xu knew this, he would have to feel that Zhou Xingfeng is really a hero!
