This time it was not a vassal state that rebelled, but the Northern Han Emperor Liu Chong led his troops to attack. Guo Wei seized the Liu family and killed Liu Chong's son. The two countries were as deep as the sea of ​​hatred.

Last time, Liu Chong relied on the support of the Khitan "uncle" to lead his troops to attack, but it was snowing heavily. When he retreated, Wang Jun stabbed the chrysanthemum and felt really uncomfortable.

Now that Guo Wei has passed away, Chai Rong ascended the throne, how could Liu Chong let go of such a good opportunity? He almost showed a stance of winning the country. The Khitans also sent 30,000 troops to accompany him. A total of 60,000 or 70,000 people on both sides claimed to be 100,000, and went out of Tuanbai Valley to approach Zelu and the two states.

Li Yun, the governor of Zhaoyi, led 2,500 people to resist the coalition forces, and was defeated and retreated to the city. The Han and Liao coalition forces left a small number of troops to besiege Luzhou and then drove south.

Luzhou is the gateway between the Han and Zhou dynasties. Once the Han and Liao coalition forces cross the Yellow River, both the Western Beijing Luoyang and Tokyo Kaifeng are just meat at their mouths and can be swallowed in one bite at any time. The Great Zhou Dynasty can be said to be in danger.

Chai Rong is worthy of being a glorious emperor and does not show any panic or timidity. He threw the military newspaper he received yesterday to the ground with disdainful expression on his face.

"Old Liu Chong deceived me and established a new position. This southern invasion was to destroy our Great Zhou. I am not so easy to share with you!" Chai Rong stood up from the dragon throne and said aloud to the ministers: "I want the emperor to personally fight against the pseudo-Han to capture Liu Chong alive!"

When the ministers heard this, they looked at each other and felt like they were eating a fly in their hearts, as if they heard a peddler clamoring to kill a strong military man.

The wars of the Five Dynasties sometimes did not mean that whoever had more soldiers and whoever had a larger territory could win. Moreover, the Han army had Khitans to help, and its strength was not weaker than that of the Zhou Kingdom.

After all, Liu Chong had been with the army for many years and suffered several defeats. Although Chai Rong had also stayed in the army, he was just the "Changsui" beside Guo Wei. He had no chance to even lose. Why did he dare to clamor for defeating Liu Chong?

The ministers began to whisper, and some even made soft sneers, but no one stood up to answer. At this time, Feng Dao, who had been silent, suddenly stood up and said to Chai Rong:

"Liu Chong is not a wise and brave general. It is just because he was the brother of Emperor Gaozu of Han (Liu Zhiyuan) who was lucky enough to take charge of Hedong. He was often dealt with by the late emperor in the past, but now the late emperor has returned to heaven, and Your Majesty has just ascended the throne and the subjects are not at peace. It is really not appropriate to mobilize all the emperors to fight in person."

Feng Dao's suggestions are just a bit concise, but the sarcasm in his words is something that everyone can hear.

Liu Chong is a bad person. Is Chai Rong the hero? Is it because you have a good aunt?

As a famous weather vane, Feng Dao spoke up and agreed. After all, what he said was indeed the safest way. Even Li Gu had the same opinion even as Fan Zhi, who Chai Rong had high expectations.

Chai Rong's face changed, but for only a moment, he smiled again: "In the past, Emperor Taizong of Tang established a foundation and established a career. He did not charge forward with a strong and sharp force, how could I dare to secretly safe in Kaifeng City?"

If Chai Rong's previous words were just arrogance, then this sentence was simply ignorant and arrogant.

Before Li Shimin ascended the throne, he had already made great achievements. Chai Rong was considered a garlic onion or garlic. If Guo Wei hadn't, he might have been selling tea. How dare he compare with Emperor Taizong of Tang?

When the ministers heard this, their eyes changed when they looked at Chai Rong. In their eyes, Chai Rong was so ignorant and absurd. At this moment, they even felt a little embarrassed and blushed for their loyalty to such a monarch.

Chai Rong was doing business in the past and had many people who had seen it. How could he not see the meaning of the eyes of the ministers? Suddenly, a sense of shame and anger surged from his chest to his head, and his throat seemed to be stuffed, and his face turned red.

But someone continued to make things difficult for him, and Feng Dao smiled and said, "Your Majesty, you may not be able to learn from Emperor Taizong of Tang."

Lao Feng's words are nothing wrong. It is not so easy to learn the emperor of the ages. For the fledgling Chai Rong, this criticism is already quite implicit.

However, it was really a surprise to all officials when he accuses the emperor of Tai Shi Feng and suddenly jumps out to slap the emperor in the face. Could it be that this new king is really an A Dou who can't help him?

Chai Rong was really annoyed. He slapped the handrail heavily, "Liu Chong is just a mob. When my army arrives, he will be gone like a mountain of Tai's eggs."

He was helpless and made a harsh statement just to allow himself to save the face that the emperor should have, but Feng Dao still did not let him go, "Can Your Majesty do it?"

...

The important dynasty meetings related to life and death since the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty were under such an embarrassing situation. As long as Chai Rong spoke, someone would jump out to criticize him. The leader was Feng Dao, the most respected elder at this time.

Chai Rong did not get angry at the court meeting, nor did he raise his sword to kill people to establish his authority. He just stubbornly persuaded all officials to support him in his personal expedition.

The officials actually didn't have much opinion on this. After all, the country belongs to your family. At worst, Chai Rongguo will be destroyed and die. But they just turned to the other emperor and were loyal to another emperor. If the new emperor takes Kaifeng, they will inevitably reward and win over the hearts of the people.

The court meeting ended, and all the officials left Chongyuan Hall one after another, with wonderful expressions on their faces. Some sighed, some gloated, and some were numb. In short, they all returned to the yamen to do things according to Chai Rong's order.

Xu Xian, who was guarding the gate outside the hall, greeted his father-in-law, and saw Feng Dao slowly step out. He walked forward two steps and said, "Can the Grand Master come to the side and talk!"

"You have any shameful words, so you can't say it here... I just go with you, don't drag me away, this old bone has been pulled apart for you."

The two arrived at a corner outside Chongyuan Hall, and Feng Dao sorted out his official uniform and asked, "You can say anything if you have anything."

Xu Xian bowed and asked, "I don't know what the Grand Master wants to ask. The Grand Master has always been easy-going and humble. Even a rough man like the Grand Master is treated equally and never pretends to be a respectful elder. But why did he speak rudely to Your Majesty in the palace just now!"

Feng Dao stroked his beard with one hand and held the stone railing with the other hand and looked out at the palace gate, "Don't say you are an official, even if you are a white slave, as long as you can do your duty, I will not look down on you. But I am the most shameful and arrogant person. Even the emperor dares to give advice directly in person. This is my duty."

Feng Dao's previous words were true, but there was no need to take those behind them seriously. All the emperors who had served Li Cunxu have never been as "directly advised" as they are today. He looked down on Chai Rong from the bottom of his heart.

"Your Majesty has just ascended the throne and has not been revealed yet, how can you know that he has no real ability?"

Feng Dao shook his head and sighed, "Even if he is talented as you said, he has no chance. At that time, the two armies will face each other without waiting for close forces to join forces. I have seen many such things and I cannot be wrong. Your Majesty personally fights, you must be with you at any time. You are still young. I can only advise you to keep the green mountains and not be afraid of burning firewood."

After saying that, Feng Dao turned around and left, went down the steps and walked towards the arch with his hands behind his back.
