Before Zhang Chao could leave, his father came back first.

"Uncle Li will go back to Hebei in two days, saying that he was ordered to go with the imperial army to jointly suppress Liu Heita. Uncle Li insisted on taking me with him, saying that he was going to pick up some merits..." Zhang Chao honestly told the matter.

"This is a good thing." The father took off the sheepskin robe outside, took off his shoes and went to the kang, and sat there crossed his legs. Before Zhang Chao could say that he didn't want to go, the father was already very happy to applaud.

The dad's one-eye showed an excitement.

"Your Uncle Li is a capable person. When he was in Wagang, he was very amazing. As for Liu Heita, when he was in Wagang, he was just an ordinary deputy general. You are not just one of your adopted father, Cheng, Uncle Luo, Uncle Niu, etc., and you don't get rid of him for more than ten miles. Liu Heita is ignorant of the current affairs. Dou Jiande is dead, but they still insist on making trouble again. Isn't this arbitrary death? Sanlang, just follow your Uncle Li to Hebei. With your Uncle Li to take care of you, you will definitely earn a merit."

My father rubbed his wounded eyes and smiled happily.

"Dad, do you really think this Hebei war will be easy?"

"Then you need to say that your adoptive father also said this that day. The court sent 50,000 troops to conquer the battle. Hebei provinces sent troops to respond, not to mention that there were two troops and horses in the county of Yan and your Uncle Li to jointly fight. I am also familiar with Liu Heita. It is good to be brave, but fighting is not a fight. It is useless to be brave alone. You also need soldiers, horses, money, and food, and command strategies. Liu Heita cannot do it."

"Dad, our family's pastry business has just started..."

"You don't have to worry about this. If I have me at home, you can go to Hebei first."

"I'm not a soldier..."

"It's nothing. You can follow the election as your uncle Li's son and family general. If you make merits, you will be rewarded."

Although Zhang Tieqin usually listens to Zhang Chao's ideas for many things, some things have their own ideas. Selling pastry is not as important as earning merit. Under normal circumstances, my father is unwilling to be a soldier in the palace, but now with Li Shiji, it is not an ordinary way.

Li Shiji is a general manager of four states. He takes a few children or family members to the battlefield to follow the battle, which is not contrary to any system. If the children's family members make contributions on the battlefield, of course they must be rewarded according to their merits. This is also the privilege of officials, especially the welfare of top officials like Li Shiji.

My father is just a small ninth-rank official now and can't give Zhang Chao any sect. If he can follow Li Shiji to Hebei to gild and earn some merits, that's of course the best.

Seeing my father so excited, Zhang Chao couldn't even express his true thoughts.

He originally wanted to get his father's support so that he could go to Zhongnan Mountain to avoid it for a few days. Now it seems that this matter can only be done quietly and cannot be told to his father.

Just now, Zhang Chao took the time to open the locked large wooden box, took out his bag from it, opened the notebook with electricity, and found a lot of historical materials from the Tang Dynasty from his hard drive. Although the old and new Tang books were just a few simple notes about the Battle of Hebei, Zhang Chao still found many detailed records from the biography of important figures in the battle of Hebei in the early Tang Dynasty, and integrated these related records. Then the entire process of the Battle of Hebei is quite clear.

Li Shiji, a famous general in the early Tang Dynasty who destroyed the Three Kingdoms by one, was really defeated by Liu Heita.

According to the information he found, it should be that in these few days, the governor of Beizhou and the governor of Weizhou joined forces to resist Liu Heita, but in the end, the entire army was wiped out in one battle, a large number of soldiers were captured, and countless weapons, food, and supplies were captured by Liu Heita.

After this battle, Liu Heita called himself a general, and then attacked Liting, Beizhou, and defeated Wang Xingmin, the general of the Tang army guards. Then, Liu Heita would contact Xu Yuanlang in Shandong to rebel.

Xu Yuanlang was originally a rebellion against the king at the end of the Sui Dynasty, but later surrendered to the Tang Dynasty and still supported the troops. This time he would respond to Liu Heita, and the eight states in Shandong would respond to kill local officials assigned by the Tang Dynasty.

As for Li Shentong, although the court had long sent him to command troops to fight, he had been slow on the road for almost two months before he arrived in Shenzhou and missed the best opportunity to suppress the rebellion.

It will not be until September 30 that Li Shentong will fight Liu Heita in Raoyang. With 50,000 or 5,000 troops, Li Shentong will be defeated by the entire army, and Li Yi will be defeated by the attack with Gao Yaxian and his adopted son Su Dingfang.

Li Shiji would arrive in Hebei later with King Li Xiaochang of Yi'an to save the downturn, but his army would be wiped out one after another.

No one stopped Liu Heita's momentum. By the end of the year, Liu Heita would sweep over more than a dozen states in Hebei and make his capital Mingzhou the king.

When Zhang Chao read the history book, he was quite shocked. He was not so impressed before. After all, Liu Heita was quick to rise and defeat, and he was quickly pacified when he rebelled against the Tang Dynasty twice.

But now I look at it, but I feel it very different.

It is hard to imagine that the Tang army that swept the world would end up being defeated repeatedly in Hebei and would fail again and again.

It is obvious that Li Shiji did not catch up with the first decisive battle between Li Shentong and Li Yi and Liu Heita, but he still did not escape the result of a big defeat.

According to historical records, Li Shiji was defeated by Li Xiaochang and dared not defend the city and led his army to escape. As a result, Liu Heita led his army to chase him urgently, but Li Shiji was unable to escape and had to turn around and fight.

The two armies fought fiercely, Li Shiji was beaten and abandoned his armor, and all five thousand soldiers were wiped out, and he was saved only by his own life.

According to historical records, whether it is Li Shentong, King Huai'an, Li Yi, King Yi'an, Li Xiaochang, and Duke Cao's Duke Li Shiji, all of these four Li family generals were defeated.

Only when Li Yuan was helpless in the end, he had to take out the final ace and sent Li Shimin to the war, so he finally withstood the offensive of the Han army and finally won a victory to quell the rebellion.

Before Li Shimin takes action, anyone who plays will lose.

After reading these historical materials, Zhang Chaoyue became determined not to go to Hebei.

I'll give it to you when I go.

When my father went out to discuss with the cellar in Xinkong again, Zhang Chao carried his bag and called Shuanzi to run away. Before he ran away, Zhang Chao left a letter to Li Shiji.

He originally didn't want to leave this letter, but thinking that Li Shiji took care of him so much, he kept it.

The letter stated that he was unwilling to go to Hebei, and then reminded Li Shiji that Liu Heita should not underestimate it. Zhang Chao was not able to explain too much, but said that Dou Jiande was extremely prestige in Hebei and was very popular with the people. After the imperial court captured Dou Jiande this time, he killed him directly, which made people in Hebei feel resentful.

After the imperial court killed Dou Jiande, the governor and other officials sent to Hebei were unable to appease the strategy. Instead, they conducted a post-liquid and searched the soldiers of the original pseudo-Xia who had already returned to their hometown, which led to everyone's own danger. After the imperial court killed Dou Jiande, they summoned the civil and military officials of the original pseudo-Xia to Beijing, which was the last straw that forced them to rebel.

Now Liu Heita and others rebelled under the banner of revenge for Dou Jiande, but they were actually forced to have no way out. As the saying goes, he will die and live. The rebels in Hebei are fighting on the back, so although they have few soldiers, they will have a strong fighting spirit. Especially when there were many soldiers in Hebei at the beginning, these people scattered and returned to their hometowns after Dou Jiande was defeated. However, when Liu Heita, a spark, and the wind blows, it will inevitably lead to a prairie fire.

"The tougher the court suppressed it, I am afraid that the Hebei people will resist more fiercely. At this time, it will not work just by relying on toughness. Only by extermination and pacification can these former Xia soldiers in Hebei let go of their resistance."

Although Zhang Chao believed 100% of what he wrote, Li Shiji would not believe even if he saw it, but he still wrote it.

It's done my best.

After all, I am just an ordinary civilian. When talking about military and national affairs, why should I believe Li Shiji and others?

Originally, he shouldn't say a word, but Zhang Chao thought about it, what if Li Shiji became a little vigilant after reading it?

Zhangjiagou is located on the Bashang Plateau, with flat slopes, and there is only one valley between the north and south plains. Both sides of the ditch cannot be considered mountains, but can only be said to be some small forests.

However, dozens of miles south are the Qinling Mountains divided into Guanzhong.

Zhang Chao rode his old Bai, followed by Shuanzi, Xiaoba, Xiaoshisan, Ke Shan and Ke Wu. A group of six people walked in the north wind where the cold wind was howling.

"Sanlang, all the beasts are hidden in this weather, it is not a good time to hunt."

"Yes, it's best to hunt in autumn, and then the prey was rich. Even if you hunt something now, you don't have much meat."

Ke Shan and Ke Wu have been very busy recently. The Zhang family class has expanded to ten groups. The two of them lead five groups, and ten kang stoves can be built at the same time every day.

But Zhang Chao insisted that they let go of their things and follow him to hunt in Qinling Mountains. This is not too strange.

"Don't worry, you go hunting with me. The money you earned from Zhangjiaban is still worth a lot of money."

"Sanlang, we don't mean that."

"that is."

Zhang Chao immediately turned his head, "Oh, so that's it, so I won't give that money these days."

"Don't!" Ke Shan and the others shouted hurriedly. They are now the deputy head of the Zhang family squad, each leading a team. Zhang Chao gave them a good treatment. Zhang Chao divided them into one bucket of each other when they built a kang stove. Although the price of grain has dropped, a bucket of grain is still real.

As long as they have work to do, they can get a dou of grain every day. Such profits have greatly increased their status at home and they have become much tougher in their words. Especially Ke Wu, who now has to look up to him.

"Then stop talking nonsense, hurry up and hurry up."

Zhang Chao looked back from time to time, afraid that his father would find out that he had run away, so he came to chase him back.

Fortunately, after rushing for a long time and walking for dozens of miles, I finally arrived at the foot of the mountain on the northern foot of the Qinling Mountains. In front of me was no longer an endless plain, but a continuous and towering mountain range.
