Chapter 1210 Adding the Yellow Robe (The Finale)

"Wife~ well done."

Zhao Kuangyin broke into a cold sweat suddenly, if Lei Fang made a sneak attack at this time, even he might not be able to survive.Just enough energy, while resisting Fan Zhi's swordsmanship, while looking back.Lei Fang stood still in the distance, only then did Zhao Kuangyin realize that he had been fooled by Fan Zhi again.

"There is a flaw~!"

Lishu sword, the sword technique is open and close, the sword law is neat, the sword spirit is square and round, and the sword momentum is full of twists and turns.Zhao Kuangyin was suppressed by Fan Zhi again because of his distraction, and this time Fan Zhi's sword qi was enhanced, which made Zhao Kuangyin's body guard hurt.

Zhao Kuangyin immediately distanced himself and looked at Fan Zhi angrily.His skills are good and his swordsmanship is also very exquisite, but if he fights head-on, he is no match at all.It's just... Fan Zhi's cheap skills are so powerful. He knows every one of his weaknesses and can distract himself with just one sentence. This kind of fighting style has never been seen before.

Zhao Kuangyin can say bluntly that Fan Zhi is much cheaper than Zong Xin.In the past, Zhao Kuangyin always thought that Zong Xin was cheap enough, but he never thought that there would be someone more cheap than Zong Xin in the world.

In a battle between masters, even a single negligence could be fatal.Experts like Zhao Kuangyin were frightened into cold sweat twice. The reason was that Fan Zhi was too cheap. He deliberately used his weakness to hit the most vulnerable place in his heart, so that Zhao Kuangyin dared not turn his head back, but turning back would give Fan Zhi something to take advantage of. machine.

Fan Zhi's performance today really surprised Zhao Kuangyin. Fan Zhi, who is extremely upright, is so wretched when he is fighting.

If it wasn't for Zhao Kuangyin's skills being several notches higher than Fan Zhi's, I'm afraid Fan Zhi would have succeeded in his sneak attack by this time.Zhao Kuangyin was really afraid. If Zong Xin or Tianya used Fan Zhi's shrunken style of play, he would be dead.

"Zhao Kuangyin, now you know how powerful I am."

"Amazing, really amazing." Zhao Kuangyin used his skills secretly, preparing to let Fan Zhi know the difference in level between the two.Although Fan Zhi has worked very hard, some things cannot be achieved with hard work.Just like the current situation, tens of thousands of troops have completely controlled Bianliang City, and the palace is also filled with Zhao Kuangyin's people. Not to mention Fan Zhi, even ten Yelvzhen cannot retreat.

Fan Zhi's complexion changed, and he suddenly shouted: "Yeluzhen? Are you here to seek revenge from Zhao Kuangyin?"

Zhao Kuangyin resisted not looking back, but instinct is difficult to control with consciousness.Since it was Fan Zhi's move, it was completely false, but if there was a real move, Zhao Kuangyin would die if he didn't turn around.Moreover, Zhao Kuangyin didn't have a chance to think about this situation, and looked back directly out of instinct.

"There is a flaw~!"

The cursive sword is like a sharp knife cutting through the mess, and there is no way to find it.There are almost no moves in this sword, and it is all from the heart, attacking wildly with a fast sword.

This time, Zhao Kuangyin had exercised enough skill, and a golden light all over his body directly bounced off Fan Zhi's sword.The whole person is covered in the sitting statue of Tathagata whose true energy is condensed.It's definitely a difference in level. In Zhao Kuangyin's state, even if Fan Zhi stood still, he couldn't attack at all.

Zhao Kuangyin didn't want to bear it anymore, so he just pushed away with his palm, and the giant sitting Tathagata stretched out his palm to hit Fan Zhi.Although Zhao Kuangyin didn't want to bear it, but he also took Lei Fang's feelings into consideration, so he deliberately reduced the force, hoping that this palm would hurt him as much as possible, and it would be better not to kill him directly.

Fan Zhi exclaimed, "My wife~ it's now."

Zhao Kuangyin turned back to defend, and suddenly found that Lei Fang was still motionless in place.It has been used four times in a row, and Zhao Kuangyin will be fooled every time. There is no way to do it. If Lei Fang really rushed over when he happened to ignore Fan Zhi, it would be miserable.

"There is a flaw~!"

Fan Zhi had already jumped up high, and a sword shot straight at the swastika on Tathagata's chest, and that was where Zhao Kuangyin was.Fan Zhi's sword was accurate and ruthless, it was inserted in the center of the swastika, between Zhao Kuangyin's chest.

All of Fan Zhi's sword energy was condensed on the sword edge, and he just pierced through the golden body of the Tathagata sitting elephant and Zhao Kuangyin's true energy, and the sword edge penetrated into the flesh.

Zhao Kuangyin quickly grabbed the sword with quick eyes and hands. The blade penetrated less than an inch into the flesh. Although there was blood, it was just a little skin injury.But this time Zhao Kuangyin really couldn't help it anymore and kicked Fan Zhi away with his kick. Fan Zhi's body hit the ceiling of the Golden Palace and rushed in.

"Xiao Zhao, strike softly." Lei Fang called out from a distance, and Zhao Kuangyin also slowly undid his kung fu, feeling uncomfortable when he was hit by a sword in his chest.But this kind of injury is not worth mentioning to him, he just feels upset.

Zhao Kuangyin's skills are much higher than Fan Zhi's. It stands to reason that Fan Zhi has absolutely no chance of hurting Zhao Kuangyin.But Fan Zhi's low skills are much more powerful than sword skills, and he kept using psychological tactics to distract Zhao Kuangyin, and the last sword almost killed Zhao Kuangyin.

Lei Fang stepped forward and asked concerned: "Xiao Zhao, are you seriously injured?"

"It's just a skin injury..."

"You are such a waste, you were actually injured by Fan Zhi, and if you had reacted a little slower with that sword, you would have been dead." Lei Fang said depressedly: "I think it should be easy to kill Fan Zhi with your skills. That's right, why are you being suppressed and beaten all the time? Is this some kind of tactic?"

Zhao Kuangyin said awkwardly: "I didn't expect Fan Zhi to be so despicable and shameless. You heard it just now, right? He would scare me before he made a move."

"It's fine if you don't listen... You clearly know it's a lie, as long as you don't listen to him once, you'll be finished, and there is no chance to attack."

"Don't dare not listen..."

"You are all mentally ill."

Zhao Kuangyin said embarrassingly: "Okay, okay, go and see if Fan Zhi is dead, if he is not dead, tie him up with a dog chain at home, don't let him come out casually to scare people."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for not killing me."

"This... such a good elder sister, why did you fall in love with Fan Zhi?" Zhao Kuangyin said: "Elder sister Lei Fang, in fact, I have never understood why you fell in love with him? He is upright on the surface, but despicable behind his back Shameless, although the mind is quite clever, and the martial arts are not bad, most of the time the character is not bad... Forget it, I didn't say it."

"Oh~Your Majesty, you said just now that you want to confer on me as a First-Class Mrs., right? Then my husband-in-law or the First-Class Prime Minister?"

"Yes, yes, as long as he doesn't cause trouble. Fan Zhi's mind is indeed a little smarter than mine. If possible, I certainly hope that he will continue to serve in the court."

Lei Fang said: "You don't have to be so polite. My husband-in-law is much smarter than you. But he is a bit stubborn and likes to get into trouble. I can't do anything about him."

"Okay, you'd better go see if he's dead or not."

"Then first congratulations, Your Majesty."

"Thank you."

"Farewell."

Lei Fang immediately went to find her husband in the ruins of the palace, she really couldn't do anything about it.She could have stopped him, but Lei Fang knew Fan Zhi's temper very well. If she really stopped Fan Zhi by force, Fan Zhi would really threaten her by wiping her neck with a sword.

Lei Fang didn't know why he fell in love with such a scoundrel. Although Fan Zhi was the second best man in the world most of the time, except for his younger brother Zong Xin, Fan Zhi was the best man, but at this critical moment his Persistence... makes people speechless.

Some things cannot be persuaded, that's why Lei Fang tied down Fan Zhi, since she couldn't be persuaded, the only way to stop it was by violence.It's just that Fan Zhi ran out unexpectedly and found a sword.

However, Fan Zhi's performance just now made Lei Fang's eyes light up. He never expected that Fan Zhi could beat Zhao Kuangyin like that.If Fan Zhi's skill had been a little higher, perhaps Zhao Kuangyin would have died by now.Fan Zhi is a man of culture. He only practices relaxation after getting tired of studying. He almost killed a top master like Zhao Kuangyin... How can people not admire him?

Although Fan Zhi's behavior this time caused Lei Fang a headache, it also won Lei Fang's admiration again.Lei Fang believes that her vision has never missed it, and Fan Zhi is indeed the best man besides Zong Xin.

Of course, the tactics used by Fan Zhi were indeed a little low, it was simply despicable and shameless to the extreme.But no matter how despicable and shameless it is, as long as it can win, it is a good move.It's a pity that Fan Zhi's skill was a little weaker, that time he only hurt the flesh, if the sword could penetrate a little deeper, he would have won.

Zhao Kuangyin himself has never seen such nonsense, the wound on his chest is not deep, just stick a piece of cloth on it.It's just that Zhao Kuangyin felt that it was very dangerous. If Fan Zhi's sword stabbed a little deeper, his little life would be gone.

The difference in skill is far from one level, but Fan Zhi almost beat Zhao Kuangyin to the point where he had no chance to fight back.Although the means are a bit despicable, but in the battle of life and death, who cares whether your means are mean or not?Fan Zhi's tactics were successfully used, this is his ability.

Zhao Kuangyin has never missed Fan Zhi. Fan Zhi is a genius that surpasses ordinary talents. Although Fan Zhi's level is lower than Zong Xin's, he is also a person with dual development of mind and martial arts.If Fan Zhi only develops martial arts, Zhao Kuangyin has absolutely no confidence that he can beat him. If Fan Zhi only develops his mind, his mind may be on par with Zong Xin...

This is why Zhao Kuangyin endured Fan Zhi's patience. Zhao Kuangyin cherishes talents very much, and he knows very well how much benefit a person's ingenuity can bring.Just like people like Zong Xin, Zhao Kuangyin would rather exchange half of the country for Zong Xin's absolute loyalty, because as long as Zong Xin's loyalty is there, the half of the country can be taken back soon.

As for Fan Zhi, although he is inferior to Zong Xin, Fan Zhi is also a rare genius.In the past, Zhao Kuangyin thought that Fan Zhi was not as arrogant as Zong Xin, and that he was too calm and calm, so he tried to use tactics to win in a stable manner.As a result, Fan Zhi went crazy once today, and this time it really opened Zhao Kuangyin's horizons.

This incident was just a small episode. Zhao Kuangyin quickly rectified his spirits and directly led his troops to completely control the entire palace, and at the same time controlled the young emperor Chai Zongxun.

960

On the fourth day of the first lunar month, Zhao Kuangyin led his army back to Kaifeng, forced Emperor Gong to abdicate, easily seized the power of Hou Zhou, and demoted Emperor Gong of Zhou, Chai Zongxun, to King Zheng.From ancient times to the present, the rebellion and proclaiming the emperor is the only example that has gone so smoothly without bloodshed.Zhao Kuangyin kept his promise with Guo Xin, did not lay hands on anyone, and became emperor so easily and gracefully.

Because Zhao Kuangyin and Song Yan had a conversation first, they took Song as the title of the country and established the Zhao and Song Dynasty in Kaifeng Bianliang as their capital.

In the process of Zhao Kuangyin's rebellion, because Zhao Kuangyin paid attention to strict military discipline, he ordered the troops to return to the barracks as soon as he returned to Kaifeng. support.

At the beginning of the establishment of the Song Dynasty, some generals who led heavy troops to patrol the border in the later weeks, such as Murong Yanzhao and Han Lingkun, expressed their support for Song Taizu's ascension to the throne.

In this mutiny, there was no bloodshed in the palace gates, corpses lying everywhere, and there was no war, and the soldiers were in trouble. It was almost bloodless.

It is generally believed that this is just the result of deterrence by military power and strength. In fact, strength can only guarantee the ultimate success of the mutiny. Intangible, turning his hands into clouds and turning his hands into rain, this in itself fully reflects Zhao Kuangyin's extremely superb political means and ability to lead troops.

Only a few people were dissatisfied with this whole process of dynastic change, and Li Chongjin was the most dissatisfied among them.Li Chongjin is Guo Wei's nephew, and besides Guo Xin, he is Guo Wei's only blood relative. In Li Chongjin's eyes, Jiangshan should belong to him long ago, and Guo Wei shouldn't even give Jiangshan to Chai Rong. After all, Chai Rong is only an adopted son.

Just when Zhao Kuangyin was solving the problem of the previous dynasty, Li Chongjin colluded with Li Jun, the Jiedu envoy of the Zhaoyi Army, to rebel.

After Zhao Kuangyin established the Northern Song Dynasty, he strengthened the centralization of power, reformed the military system, developed production, and consolidated the rule.After two years of political, economic, and military preparations, the strategic decision of 'first the south and then the north, and the easy before the difficult' was determined.

Jingnan and Hunan are located in the center of the middle reaches of the Yangtze River, adjacent to the north and south, to the east of the Southern Tang Dynasty, to the west of Houshu, and to the south of the Southern Han Dynasty.Occupying Jing and Hu can split the Jiangnan countries and create conditions for each to be defeated.

In September 962, Zhao Kuangyin sent his troops to the south and started the unification war.

In October 962, Wuping Jiedu envoy Zhou Xingfeng died of illness, and 10-year-old Zhou Baoquan succeeded him.Zhang Wenbiao, the governor of Hengzhou, took the opportunity to mutiny, occupied Tanzhou, and threatened Langzhou.Zhou Baoquan asked Song for help in order to dissuade Zhang Wenbiao.Zhao Kuangyin decided to use the "false way to destroy Guo" strategy and set out in Hunan and Jingzhu on the false way to achieve the goal of killing two birds with one stone.

In the first month of 963, Murong Yanzhao led soldiers from ten states and took the route to Jingnan in the name of helping Hunan to fight against Zhang Wenbiao.On the ninth day of February, Murong Yanzhao captured Jiangling City and forced Gao Ji, the Jiedushi envoy, to surrender, and Jingnan perished.

In the first month of 965, the Song army broke through the dangerous point of Jianmen and defeated the Shu army. After occupying Jianzhou and approaching Chengdu, Meng Chang surrendered the city, and Shu was destroyed.

In February 971, they entered Majing and defeated the [-] troops of Guo Chongyue, the envoy of the Southern Han Dynasty, with fire, and then captured the Xingwang Mansion. Liu Yu surrendered, and the Southern Han Dynasty perished.

On the third day of the first lunar month in 975, the Song army broke through Lishui, and then fought fiercely with 27 Southern Tang troops on the Qinhuai River, defeated the Southern Tang navy, and approached Jiangning City.With the cooperation of the Wuyue army, they wiped out the [-] reinforcements led by Zhu Lingyun, the capital of the Southern Tang Divine Guard, and broke through Jiangning on November [-]. Li Yu surrendered and the Southern Tang Dynasty perished.

After Zhao Kuangyin established the Song Dynasty, he spent 15 years in the Southern and Northern Wars, unifying the Central Plains and making great achievements in the world.
