Chapter 142 Who will win? (Five)

Hou Dayong walked to Hu's table and casually drew lines on the silkworm paper. Soon, a terrain map appeared on the paper, which was the shape of a hump.

Seeing that Chen Ziteng was a little confused, Hou Dayong explained: "This is a map of the Tang Dynasty." While he said, he used a dotted line to draw a few more strokes on the map of the Tang Dynasty. The dotted line was only one-tenth of the solid line. This time, Hou Dayong did not need to explain it. Chen Ziteng already understood that Hou Dayong had drawn the Dazhou map.

Hou Dayong pointed to the south bank of the Yangtze River on the map, "When he attacked Chuzhou that day, he formulated a three-step strategic plan. Do you know about this?"

"Knowing about this, Your Majesty has also talked about the unified plan set by Chuzhou many times at Waqiao Pass." Chai Rong suddenly fell ill during the Northern Expedition, and had no choice but to recuperate at Waqiao Pass. He had always been resentful about not being able to personally command the attack on Youzhou, and repeatedly expressed regret in Chen Ziteng.

"After regaining Youzhou, the second step is to deal with Western Shu, Southern Tang and other separatist forces located in the south. The Great Zhou army is as powerful as the peak of its peak. I believe that the Great Zhou army will soon be able to regain the land of Southern Tang and recreate the magnificence of the Tang Dynasty that day."

Hou Dayong pointed hard on the map, "This is the homeland of the Richie tribe. If the Zhou army captured this place, the members of the Richie tribe can return to your century-old homeland as long as they are willing. Of course, you can stay in Shishan." Hou Dayong said this, paused and emphasized, "I once promised Elder Liu to find a way out for the Richie tribe. I have sent someone to send it to Elder Liu what I said to Chen Lang just now."

With the current economic and military strength of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the goal Hou Dayong mentioned is completely possible.

Chen Ziteng did not expect Hou Dayong to make such a promise suddenly. His mind was like a herd of cattle from the Richie tribe, and he was as chaotic as the tide.

In the darkest era of the Tang Dynasty, great scholars in the water towns in Jiangnan were punished out of thin air. The clan members brought the elderly and helped the young, and they came to the north of Hetao in tears. When they finally got used to the bitter and cold land in the north, the giant Tang Dynasty suddenly fell to the ground. The children of Jiangnan found in pain that the Hu army led by the Khitan crossed the Yellow River and galloped freely in the Central Plains. Their new home in Hetao has become the back garden of the Hu people.

The disciples of Jiangnan once wanted to return to Jiangnan, but the Central Plains were filled with troops that occupied the land as kings. Killing and setting fires were common. The Central Plains was no longer a place of etiquette and righteousness, but became a place where tigers and wolves were rampant. Instead, there were still many peaceful places deep in the grassland.

At this time, the children of Jiangnan had been reborn and reborn in Hetao for more than 20 years. Most of the children of Jiangnan were born and raised in Hetao. The wind and sand in Hetao had made these children of Jiangnan as strong as Hu people. They rode war horses and walked northward, after countless hard battles. They finally won Shishan, a treasure land given to them by God.

From then on, the children of Jiangnan became the Richie tribe.

The prosperous Tang Dynasty was a dream, a dream that remained in the hearts of everyone in the Richie tribe. Although they were once sinners of the Tang Dynasty and were demoted by the Tang Dynasty. They were forced to come to the border desert from the Jiangnan water town, but more than a hundred years have passed, and their memories of the magnificent prosperous tribe have not weakened, but have become the collective consciousness of the Richie tribe in subtle influence.

After entering the courtyard, everything was prepared, red fruit wine, special dishes, calligraphy, maps, and everything could impress Chen Ziteng.

Chen Ziteng flashed countless thoughts, and another question arose in his mind: the leader of the Richie tribe is Liu Jiangqing, and Liu Jiangqing's father Liu Hongye is the elder of the Richie tribe. But why did Hou Dayong tell me such a major event?

Hou Dayong seemed to see Chen Ziteng's thoughts clearly and said, "Chen Lang must be thinking. Why tell you this? I have always been a wise man who does not do secret things, so I open the skylight and say something bright. Liu Jiangqing has the highest status among the philosophers of Richie. Now, the Nanwei of Rencheng and the left-wing inspector of the capital city are extremely important. He did a good job. Kaifeng Prefecture praised him many times. He will be promoted again soon. Chen Lang is a close minister of the emperor, and although his rank is not as good as Liu Jiangqing. As the saying goes, the moon will be obtained first when approaching the water tower, but his position is much more important than Liu Jiangqing."

"At present, Daliang City seems to be sunny, but it is actually facing a heavy storm at any time. Before the Northern Expedition, when he repaired the river channel, he dug out two stone tablets with rebellion. His Majesty was hunting in the suburbs and actually met an assassin. The Privy Councilor Wang Pu died in an unknown way. The mastermind behind these matters has not been seen yet. His Majesty has not recovered for a long time, which really makes me unable to sleep or eat."

Chen Ziteng knew that the following words were the theme of tonight. He pointed his ears, for fear of missing a word.

Hou Dayong's eyes were as sharp as a knife, "Stability in Daliang City overwhelms everything. If stability is stable, the world will be peaceful. If chaos arises, the chickens and dogs will be unstable. I need to communicate with Chen Lang to meet the unexpected needs."

Chen Ziteng's heart was already shiny: His Majesty may die at any time. As a close minister of the emperor, he has a large amount of top-secret information, which are all important weapons related to the country. Fan Zhi, Hou Dayong and other powerful ministers naturally flocked to him.

Hou Dayong was kind enough, and the preparations were extremely meticulous, but in fact he did not leave any way out for Chen Ziteng.

After Chai Rong returned to Daliang from Waqiao Pass, he already had the intention of entrusting his orphans. Fan Zhi, Hou Dayong, Wang Bo, Wei Renpu and Zhao Kuangyin were all ministers who entrusted his orphans. After Chai Rong, the Dazhou court of the Great Zhou Dynasty was in the hands of these five people. Hou Dayong was the queen of the empress dowager and a great hero in the recovery of Youzhou, and he would inevitably be in a core position in the new court.

Chen Ziteng saw the situation very clearly, and he did not hesitate: "The Prime Minister Hou is the pillar of the country and is also the benefactor of the Richie tribe. If Xia Guan Dan knows anything, he will definitely report it in time."

Since ancient times, China has had a tradition of having the emperor and the emperor. Whoever is the master or compares talents and political achievements is important. If you stand in the wrong team, you can only sigh at Yuekong. As soon as Chen Ziteng's words are expressed, it can be regarded as a statement of the local position.

After seeing Chen Ziteng off, Hou Dayong entered the house and slowly drank a glass of sour red stone fruit wine.

The bedroom in the courtyard is on the left side of the main hall. Hou Dayong pushed the door open with an oil lamp. In the front room was a young girl in her teens who bought it specifically to serve Liu Jiangjie. At this time, she had already fallen asleep.

Hou Dayong suddenly remembered that he had first arrived in the Great Zhou Dynasty. He was rewarded for his military achievements and received Liu San's house and countless maids and servants out of thin air. Out of passion, he took the initiative to dismiss many servants. With his understanding of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Hou Dayong gradually realized that in the Great Zhou Dynasty, where wars were constant and wealth were uneven, being a servant was also a good profession. At least he had clothes, food, and a place to sleep. Many people wanted to be servants but were reluctant to be servants. He used to stand in another era to look at the problem, which was not in line with the current situation of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Since he understood this truth, Hou Dayong did not object to buying servants and maids. The number of servants and maids in the Marquis' mansion increased day by day. In the Marquis' mansion in the south of the city, Hou Dayong often found some unrecognizable servants and maids, especially in the backyard, where there were more and more maids. Hou Dayong walked through the flowers and often felt like walking in the Grand View Garden of Dream of Red Mansions.

After entering the inner room, under a weak oil lamp, Liu Jiangjie fell asleep on Hu's table, and next to her a book of Tang Dynasty legends given to him by Hou Dayong. These legendary stories are really pediatrics for Hou Dayong, and are extremely lethal to Liu Jiangjie. She originally thought that recuperating in a small courtyard was extremely upset, but with several thick Tang legends, Liu Jiangjie was addicted to it and found that quietness had its own wonders.

Hou Dayong patted Liu Jiangjie on the shoulder gently. Liu Jiangjie raised her head in a daze and asked, "Did Chai Shao marry Princess Pingyang in the end? This book has dropped a few pages, and I feel very anxious after reading it."

Hou Dayong had a deep impression of Chai Shao. Chai Shao was a general of the Tang Dynasty and one of the twenty-four heroes of Lingyan Pavilion. He was a hero in his youth and was famous in Guanzhong for his bravery. Li Yuan had great eyesight and married his daughter, Princess Pingyang, to Chai Shao.

Hou Dayong knew all the historical facts, but he didn't know much about Chai Shao in the Tang legend. He coaxed: "I will send someone to find you tomorrow. It's getting late today, so let's take a break soon."

"Your Majesty is also surnamed Chai today, I don't know if it has anything to do with Chai Shao." Liu Jiangjie was young and young, and was in the era of fantasy and worshipping heroes. At this time, she was still immersed in the story of Tang legends. In Liu Jiangjie's eyes, Hou Dayong, who commanded the imperial guards to capture Youzhou, was also a hero like Chai Shao.

After Hou Dayong came to Daliang, he met many women, first of which was Ajige, Baitou Mountain, and secondly, he met Qiu Ju and Chunlan, who had an unfortunate life experience in Cangzhou. Then he married Fu Ying, a daughter of a famous family. In the battle to attack Tongxin, he also put Gao Yueming, the local division master of Tongxin City, into the room.

These women have different characteristics. Ajige is generous and passionate, Qiuju is gentle as water, Fu Ying is heroic, and Shi Gao Yueming has a strong personality. However, Liu Jiangjie in front of him is smart, skilled, good at chess skills, and likes Xuan Jiaochuan. Now he is fascinated by the legend of the Tang Dynasty. He is used to seeing a woman who is respectful to him and has a down-eyed look. Liu Jiangjie's simplicity is naturally like a spring breeze, making Hou Dayong seem to have seen a woman from later generations.

The maid from the outer room heard the voices in the room and walked in with sleepy eyes. When she saw that it was the Hou Prime Minister, she quickly retreated.

"Go to bed quickly. You have injuries on your body, don't be naughty." Seeing that Liu Jiangjie was still lying on the table, her face was still full of fascination.

While persuading, Hou Dayong picked up Liu Jiangjie and asked her to lie on the bed. When Liu Jiangjie fell asleep, Hou Dayong left the courtyard and returned to the Hou Mansion in the south of the city. After being tired outside for a day, Hou Dayong was about to go into the bath room to take a bath, and several people came to the Hou Mansion in panic.
