Yue Fei must have known to everyone that a hero who was loyal to the country and the people fought all his life and defended the peace of the party with his own blood. However, in the end, he was framed by thieves, because of the emperor's fainting and incompetence, which led to the unjust death of a generation of famous generals.
The emperor of the dynasty at the time of Yue Fei's tragic death was Zhao Shuo, and during his reign, yue Fei had handled more than one unjust case. Looking at his ancestors, it is really the same lineage, there was a general in the founding of the Northern Song Dynasty, who once sacrificed his life to save Zhao Kuangyin twice. Later, he was framed by thieves, and Zhao Kuangyin only said two words in the face of this matter.
Zhao Kuangyin's conquest path
Speaking of this Zhao Kuangyin is also a strange person, he was born with a vision when he was born, and her family felt that her child was not an ordinary person. And the things behind it are even more magical, Zhao Kuangyin can kill Ji every time, as if someone is helping him.
When Zhao Kuangyin was young, he was familiar with reading and reciting, was very knowledgeable, and was good at archery on horseback, and learned eighteen martial arts. During a trip, Zhao Kuangyin met a monk, who said that when the time came, you could go to the north to make meritorious achievements.
Zhao Kuangyin believed in Buddhism, so he immediately went home to pack his bags and go all the way north. Zhao Kuangyin began to make steady progress from here, because at that time in the post-Han period, the Han Dynasty was in decline, and the crowd of heroes and deer wanted to set up a career.
Zhao Kuangyin had the ability to lead soldiers to fight since he was a child, and soon made some meritorious achievements and became an official on one side, but Zhao Kuangyin's opportunities were far more than this. Zhao Kuangyin defected to Guo Wei, a secret envoy of the Later Han Dynasty, to help him recruit Li Shouzhen.
Zhao Kuangyin can be said to have chosen the right person, he assisted Guo Wei in building a meritorious career, and as a result, Guo Wei really supported the army and established the Zhou Dynasty. Because of his outstanding military achievements, Zhao Kuangyin was given the title of Yin of Kaifeng Province, and was also the direct military envoy of Kaifeng Province.
Not long after, Guo Wei died, and Chai Rong took the throne. Chai Rong preferred Zhao Kuangyin and directly put him in charge of the forbidden army, at this time the Northern Han Came to invade, and the great general given by Chai Rong directly escaped from the battlefield, leaving a mess.
Zhao Kuangyin was ordered to become a great general in command of a large army, and dispatched troops to defend the Northern Han Dynasty, that is, here, Zhao Kuangyin began to move step by step to the throne, and it was inseparable from a soldier who sacrificed his life twice to save him.
The battlefield was in distress, and the general Zhang Qiong sacrificed his life to rescue him
From zhao kuangyin being reused by Guo Wei, it can be seen that Zhao Kuangyin has extraordinary command ability and the courage to charge forward. After defeating the Northern Han Dynasty, Zhao Kuangyin was appreciated by Chai Rong and made him the commander of the three armies, commanding all the armies.
After the Northern Han Dynasty was defeated, Zhao Kuangyin led an army to attack the Southern Tang. In the war with the Southern Tang, Zhao Kuangyin encountered two dangers. The first time was at the Battle of Eighteen Mile Beach, when Zhao Kuangyin was young and vigorous, and led his generals to kill left and right.
The enemy commander wanted to surround and kill Zhao Kuangyin, so he sent his own guards to block Zhao Kuangyin. Because Zhao Kuangyin's position of charge was too deep, the large army was still a few miles behind him, and the enemy army was directly between himself and the troops, cutting off his contact with the troops.
The guards held shields and held short knives to surround Zhao Kuangyin, and Zhao Kuangyin took several henchmen to rush left and right to kill, but they could not help the other side's many people, and gradually only Zhao Kuangyin was left.
Suddenly a soldier knocked down Zhao Kuangyin with a shield, another soldier took a knife and stabbed, at this critical moment, a feather arrow shot, shooting the soldier with the knife on the spot, Zhao Kuangyin took the knife and turned over, at this time the large army arrived, only to relieve the siege of Zhao Kuangyin.
Zhao Kuangyin looked to the rear, and there was a soldier riding on a horse with a crossbow in his hand, which showed that this person saved his life. After this battle, Zhao Kuangyin learned that this person's name was Zhang Qiong, and his arm was strong and strong, and he was good at riding and shooting.
Zhao Kuangyin loved Cai, so he left him by his side and let him be his own guard. It was also this decision that Zhao Kuangyin escaped another disaster, and it can be said that he is really blessed with a great fate.
Next, during the attack on Shouchun, Zhao Kuangyin ordered his generals to attack strongly. However, the enemy army had heavy weapons to defend the city, and for a while the two armies were deadlocked, and Zhao Kuangyin knew that it would be difficult to break the city in this way, so he personally went to beat the drum to let the soldiers improve their morale.
But at this moment, the enemy army had quietly aimed at him with a huge tower, and with a loud noise, crossbow arrows were fired at Zhao Kuangyin, and at this critical juncture, Zhang Qiong directly strode forward, and a flying body pushed away Zhao Kuangyin. However, he was shot by a crossbow arrow and fixed on the wooden frame on the spot.
But this Zhang Qiong was also a person with a big life, and this arrow did not shoot Zhang Qiong to death, but was seriously injured. A few years later, Chai Rong fell ill and died, his younger son became emperor, and Zhao Kuangyin directly launched a mutiny because he held military power, became emperor himself, and established the Song Dynasty.
Open guns are easy to hide, and dark arrows are difficult to defend
The first thing Zhao Kuangyin did after he ascended to the throne was to elevate the military power of other military generals, because he knew very well how he had become emperor. Therefore, these generals with heavy troops are very jealous, and it is forbidden in the DPRK to form parties for personal gain and pull up mountains to engage in gangs.
However, there was only one person, and Zhao Kuangyin did not limit his military power, that is, Zhang Qiong. After Zhao Kuangyin became emperor, he even put him in charge of the forbidden army. However, Zhang Qiong accidentally offended two people, these two were Zhao Kuangyin's important ministers Shi Jue and Shi Hanqing after the founding of the country.
Zhang Qiong had publicly confronted the two people above the court because of disagreements, but both of them had small hearts and wanted to find a reason to rectify Zhang Qiong. It just so happened that Zhao Kuangyin's faction gave them a task, that is, to secretly investigate who was pulling gangs behind their backs.
The first thing these two people thought about was not to investigate, but to think of a plan to murder Zhang Qiong. To say that this Zhang Qiong is also a bitter fate, because he is a military general, usually used to speak rude language, once said a dirty word to Zhao Kuangyin's brother, which made the two seize the handle.
One day, the two of them consulted Zhao Kuangyin, saying that Zhang Qiongla had formed a gang and raised more than a hundred people in his own home, and had recently become more and more arrogant, not even taking his own brother in his eyes, and his expression was disdainful.
Zhao Kuangyin listened, this is also a matter of it, you not only pull gangs and factions, but also look down on those with the surname Zhao. So Zhao Kuangyin first brought his brother and asked Zhang Qiong if he had scolded in front of him, and his brother said that he had scolded.
Zhao Kuangyin summoned Zhang Qiong into the palace again, and when Zhang Qiong came to the imperial study, Zhao Kuangyin asked him what kind of people he usually interacted with, but Zhang Qiong said that in addition to going to the upper court every day, he went to the army to train soldiers and check the garrison soldiers in the capital.
Zhao Kuangyin was furious, saying that Zhang Qiong had done things to this point, and he was still hiding it, so that he had recruited them all. But Zhang Qiong was confused, he didn't do anything, explained what to do. In this way, Zhao Kuangyin thought that Zhang Qiong refused to admit it.
Zhao Kuangyin immediately summoned the soldiers to the temple, said to the soldiers, "Beheaded", and executed Zhang Qiong for the crime of deception. But after the incident, when Zhao Kuangyin sent someone to investigate, he found that Zhang Qiong's family had several maids in the nursing home, and there were a hundred or so people from there.
Zhao Kuangyin knew that he had killed someone by mistake, so he let Zhang Qiong's brother enter the palace as an official, and then gave Zhang Qiong a title. It can be said that this Zhao Kuangyin is quite powerful in fighting, but as a king, he is not very wise.
