The first prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 571 Foodie Liao Jian
Although Zhao Kuangyin gave the order of the court to send troops, he still played a trick, that is, he did not announce it to the court.

Only these few people know that he wants to take down Jingnan at the lowest cost, not only Wuping, but a small force like Nanping.

He had to be cautious, once and for all was what he wanted to see most, so he didn't announce it in the court.

So behind him, he and his counselors are discussing what to do, how to make the loss smaller, how to make sure that the battle will determine the world.

But procrastinating like this is not a solution, is it? Zhao Kuangyin made two preparations, while dispatching Hu Yanzan to take people to Wuping.

With the edict, whoever continues to let Zhou Baoquan serve as the military governor, and also tells him to settle the matter of entering your internal affairs first, and tells them not to fight.

But he knew that this was impossible. Since Zhang Wenbiao had already rebelled, he would not care about anything, so he could not be persuaded.

Zhao Xu and Miao Xun laughed loudly:
"This Zhang Wenbiao really has a certain ability. He actually took Tanzhou down. It seems that Zhou Xingfeng was the only one who could hold him back in Wuping. Now he is a tiger out of the cage."

What Zhao Xu held in his hand was Zhang Wenbiao's recent detailed information, including his recent battle results and Zhou Baoquan's reaction.

"My son is a bit wrong. Zhang Wenbiao is certainly capable, but what's more, this Tanzhou stayer is too incompetent. Otherwise, this Zhao Baoquan would not be so passive."

Miao Xun knew that Tanzhou was an important hub between Langzhou and Hengzhou, but he didn't expect it to be taken by Zhang Wenbiao, which made Zhou Baoquan want the court for help.

It turned out that Zhang Wenbiao sent troops from Hengzhou to attack Tanzhou, an important town in Hunan. After Tanzhou was known, Liao Jian didn't take Zhang Wenbiao to heart at all, and didn't even take the necessary precautions.

Liao Jian is Zhou Xingfeng's confidant, and has always been at odds with Zhang Wenbiao.If Zhang Wen leads the army to openly go north, then Liao Jian will definitely try to stop him, which will not only delay the time, but also lose his own strength.

This was also an important pawn that Zhou Xingfeng made before he died, and it seems that he really used it today.

But this time, Liao Jian really took the lead this time, and with Zhang Wenbiao behind him, he approached Langzhou.

Liao Jian's heart is higher than the sky, but this but this ability may not be so high, and he is also arrogant.

When Zhou Xingfeng let him stay here, he warned him not to take it lightly, but what was Liao Jian doing?

They even had a big banquet for guests in the mansion, just inviting local officials and gentry to drink, chat and brag, and the atmosphere was very lively.

The spies came to report that Zhang Wenbiao's soldiers and horses had arrived at the city, but Liao Jian didn't take it seriously. He told the guests, Zhang Wenbiao is a yellow-mouthed boy, when he comes, I'll take him down immediately, let's continue drinking and ignore him.

The arrogance can be seen in general, it is this kind of arrogance that made him not have a good end, and gave Da Song a chance.

Zhang Wenbiao's spies also found out the news, so he naturally knew what this old brother's character was like.

Since you are looking for death, don't blame me, Zhang Wenbiao, for being cruel. This Wenbiao is not a reckless man.

?His eyeballs rolled, and his brows frowned, thinking about it.He immediately selected more than a hundred elite soldiers, put on white mourning clothes, and pretended to be a mourning team going to Langzhou City.And the main force of their own army concealed their whereabouts and quietly followed behind the team.

You can't stop me from going to the funeral, right? If you stop me, it's unreasonable, because you are disloyal and unfilial.

Liao Jian soon got a report from the guards of the city, saying that there were more than a hundred mourners coming from Hengzhou, all wearing white mourning clothes, and the leader was Zhang Wenbiao, governor of Hengzhou.

Liao Jian was taken aback for a moment, and said to the surrounding cronies:
"Even if that piece of paper still has some conscience, the lord was really kind to him that day, but today he actually came to express his condolences in person. It's okay, so you open the city gate immediately and welcome them into the city."

"But Zhang Wenbiao has a false name. I really look down on him. You will receive all his condolences. I won't go!"

Liao Jian ordered the guards of Tanzhou City to open the gate, let Zhang Wenbiao in, and treat them well.

When his subordinates left, Liao Jian took out a jar of wine from under the table and drank it silently.Not only that, but also eat and drink.

He's just an idiot. This is how the people around him judged him. Damn, you eat as much as you want. Look at your ugly appearance.

Surrounded by people he had invited over, no one had a higher official position than him, and no one dared to talk about God, so they could only smile and accompany him.

The important thing is that Liao Jian stopped and ate, because now he couldn't walk anymore, he was no different from a pig.

He was still belching incessantly, and there was a sour smell coming from his mouth, which made everyone feel sick.

At this time, even more unfortunate news came. Zhang Wenbiao didn't want to go to the funeral, but pretended to go to the funeral and occupied the city gate.

Liao Jian was half sober, and immediately asked someone to bring his weapon, and he wanted to teach Zhang Wenbiao a lesson himself.

At that time, he forgot that he just ate and drank a lot, and now he can't hold his weapon or mount a horse at all.

So when Zhang Wenbiao led the soldiers to attack him, Liao Jian could only sit on the ground and yell at Zhang Wenbiao.

In the case of not being able to use a knife, this is also a way of fighting, and of course it also reflects a kind of courage, but this scolding can only increase the other party's disgust towards him.

The moment Zhang Wenbiao raised the knife and dropped it, Liao Jian was not afraid, but felt that it was a pity that he hadn't had time to digest the good wine and food in his belly.

In this way, Tanzhou was occupied by Zhang Wenbiao, and of course the heavy troops deployed by Tanzhou were also taken down by him.

Now Zhang Wenbiao's strength has greatly increased, and he is marching towards Langzhou in a mighty way, and he is likely to take down Langzhou in one fell swoop.

"This Liao Jian is really a foodie. He can't walk on his own. This is probably the first time in ancient and modern times that he died like this. It can be passed down to future generations."

Zhao Xu couldn't help feeling that Liao Jian's fate was that he lost his life and even changed the fate of his country because he was too greedy. He really didn't know what to say.

"After we unify the world with him, I will definitely let the official historian record this matter. Liao Jian is a foodie, and he is a greedy eater who harms the country."

This was just a joke by Zhao Xu. I didn't expect that Liao Jian, a foodie, would actually appear in the "History of the Song Dynasty" revised later.

This caused headaches for historians of later generations. Why did the word "foodie" exist at that time? It is really a headache.

Da Song has also started to act here, and Hu Yanzan has rushed to Wuping at full speed.
