Han Shizu

Chapter 47 Lure him north
Liu Chengyou naturally thought of the "Battle of Gaoping", a famous battle that was pivotal and significant in the history of the "Five Dynasties" war, and even affected the historical process.

His eyes fell on Guo Rong, who had an ordinary appearance and a serious expression in front of him, and Liu Chengyou's thoughts couldn't help drifting away.

At that time, it was the "Zhou Shizong" in front of him. He first ascended the throne, the government was unstable, and the people were not attached. When Liu Chong of the Northern Han Dynasty united with the Khitan army, the [-]-strong coalition army from both sides went south, aggressive, and wanted to destroy the Hou Zhou.

It can be said that under the internal and external troubles, Guo Rong defied the public opinion and decided to go to the north to fight.Just in Gaoping, he was willing to take the sharp arrow, and came to supervise the battle in person.

In that battle of Gaoping, Guo Rong almost took the risk of raising Zhou Guoyun, and if he lost, the country would be in danger of subjugation. In the end, Guo Rong won the bet.A hearty victory opened the "Golden Age of Virtue" in the Later Zhou Dynasty. Guo Rong started his great cause of "30 years of peace", and Zhao Kuangyin also rose to the ranks of the Forbidden Army in front of the palace.

Of course, that battle was not a pure military adventure, and Guo Rong considered many factors.However, that kind of situation, that kind of pressure, that kind of resoluteness, that kind of generosity and pride, that kind of determination to overcome difficulties. Compared with Guo Rong's courage and courage, he hesitated at this moment, looked forward and backward, and was humble. More than one.

Looking at Guo Rong in front of him, Liu Chengyou seemed to be able to feel his sturdy and strong character and firm and fearless will under his ordinary appearance.

Looking back, taking a deep breath, Liu Chengyou turned to Han Tong who was still standing in the hall: "What do you think?"

Han Tong obviously did not expect Liu Chengyou to ask himself the opinion of such a small person. He was stunned and clasped his fists very decisively: "If Your Highness orders an attack, the last will be willing to charge for His Highness!"

Hearing Hantong's statement, Liu Chengyou's expression returned to normal, vaguely relieved.However, he realized that he could not fight, but there were talents under his command who could fight.Zhang Yanwei, Ma Quanyi, Murong Yanzhao, and even the two commanders of the Second and Third Armies, plus Li Wanchao, really didn't need to be so concerned.

Thinking of this, Liu Chengyou's thoughts were clarified, and he couldn't help but be moved when he thought of the prospect of defeating the Khitan Army in the first battle.However, even with that impulsiveness, Liu Chengyou still did not have a fever, and ordered to march south.

Again, war is no child's play.Although now they are acquainted with themselves and know a little about the enemy, the winning rate should be higher, but it is not yet to the point of winning.

After only thinking for a while, Liu Chengyou's tone added a bit of obvious courage, and he instructed Han Tong: "Han Tong, you rest in the city for a while, and then lead the cavalry to the south, kill the enemy scouts for me, and investigate the enemy's situation! "

Hearing the order, Han Tong's spirit trembled slightly, his eyes widened, and he said directly: "His Royal Highness, you don't need to rest, the commander will take you there immediately!"

Satisfied with his fighting spirit, Liu Chengyou said in his mouth: "After running around day and night to investigate, you are already exhausted. Even if you can handle it, you should also consider the soldiers below. After you have recovered your spirit and physical strength, it is convenient for you to Kill the enemy!"

Liu Chengyou's words were flat, but Han Tong's heart was filled with emotion, he respectfully bowed and stepped back.

"Your Highness, is this your plan?" At this time, Zhang Yanwei asked tentatively.

"Know yourself and the enemy, and you will be safe in a hundred battles. Now I know the enemy, but the enemy doesn't know me. Why don't you fight a battle that has no reason to lose!" After making a decision, Liu Chengyou put aside all the hesitations in his heart and calmly said: "However, how to fight this battle? , let's discuss it carefully!"

Hearing what Liu Chengyou said, Guo Rong suddenly came to his senses, thinking about Liu Chengyou's arrangement just now, frowning and asking, "What are your plans?"

Liu Chengyou said directly: "Isn't Geng Chongmei going to come to Luzhou to take office? We are waiting for him at Shangdang. Now, the front of the Longqi Army has arrived, and Shangdang is 'in danger'. Qian Shi, you should also quickly ask the Khitan people for help."

Liu Chengyou's words were full of cunning.Zhang Yanwei couldn't react for a while, and asked a little confusedly, "Didn't Zhao Xingqian and the others have been killed? How did they ask for help, why did they ask for help?"

"His Royal Highness is trying to lead Geng Chong's U.S. troops to the Shangdang, and then annihilate them?" Guo Rong asked.

Liu Chengyou said lightly: "Gaoping is hundreds of miles away from Shangdang. If our army is heading south, it's better to let him come north, wait for work, and attack him with a certain victory."

"Fortunately, after taking over the party, the whole city was under martial law. We moved quickly, and the news should have not yet spread, and Geng Chongmei would have no way of knowing!" Xiang Xun took the initiative to say something at this time, and the key point was revealed in one sentence.

Liu Chengyou nodded: "Immediately send someone to the south to ask Geng Chongmei for help! At that time, Han Tong will lead people to fight the grass and startle the snake to prove it. I'll see what choice this Geng Chongmei will make!"

"This matter, I am afraid it is difficult for ordinary people to take the task. Your Highness, please be ordered to be the messenger this time!" Xiang Xun took the initiative to ask Liu Chengyou for his order.

Liu Chengyou shook his head: "You can't!"

"Why?"

Seeing Xiang Xun's dissatisfaction, Liu Chengyou said: "Xiang Xun, at first glance, you are not a mortal! For this matter, you have to find a faithful and reliable ordinary person! Besides, the enemy camp is not as good as Shang Dang, I can't bear you to take this risk to Xingmin. risk."

After speaking, Liu Chengyou summoned a personal guard and gave some orders.In terms of loyalty and reliability, there is nothing more trustworthy than Liu Chengyou's personal guard.

"Now, it's time for us to motivate the soldiers to fight!" Standing up and letting out a sigh of relief, Liu Chengyou turned to look at Guo Rong: "Has the list been counted clearly?"

How could Guo Rong be stumped by this trivial matter, and even gave Liu Chengyou a satisfactory answer.

The Surui Barracks, with more than a thousand people in the entire army, was concentrated on the school grounds and lined up neatly under the leadership of officers at all levels.The appearance of an orderly appearance, just by looking at the appearance of the army, you can see that Li Wanchao has trained this army very well.

In the school grounds, from the officers to the soldiers, they all stared at the stage.There were several large boxes there, and under the opened lids, there were piles of copper coins.

Li Wanchao stood behind him, waved his hand, and proclaimed loudly: "Soldiers, His Royal Highness, please take pity on me and wait for my hard work, and specially distribute money from the treasury to reward the three armies."

After Li Wanchao finished speaking, seeing the reward in front of him, the soldiers burst into cheers.Soon, in the school grounds, rewards were distributed by level according to the list.After the money is in place, it is time to slaughter the pigs and slaughter the sheep again, which is delicious and delicious.

While the sergeant Surui happily enjoyed Liu Chengyou's reward, so did the other Luzhou soldiers in Shangdang City. The money and grain were basically distributed to people, and there were no "middlemen" at all.Of course, as the direct line of the Long Qi Army, of course, it is also indispensable. A big reward army has consumed the Luzhou government treasury.

However, the effect is very good.Even if it is not for other reasons, it is aimed at money and food, and the soldiers have doubled their affection for Liu Chengyou.And this reward, in a sense, can also be regarded as an "opening fee".

"Master, this is sent by Guo's inspection inspector, saying that it is a reward from His Highness!" In Shangdang's palace, a servant carried a small box and diligently walked to Wang Shouen to report.The servings are not light and the servants seem to be struggling.

But when Wang Shouen saw it, he was furious. He knocked over the cash box with one hand, and the money was scattered on the ground.Wang Shouen paced back and forth, and said angrily, "How can there be such a reason! How can there be such a reason!"

According to the reward set by Liu Chengyou, there are one general soldier, three senior officers, five captains, ten chiefs, twenty battalion commanders, fifty army commanders, and there are hundreds of them.However, in contrast, the generals of the Long Qi Army had to be raised a bit.

According to Wang Shou'en's level, he can also get a hundred.Of course, a hundred taels of money is not a small amount, but where can he satisfy his gluttonous heart.

According to his ideas, if Liu Chengyou has a reward, he needs to go out of the treasury to him and distribute it to him, then he will only make money in the meantime.It's a pity that Liu Chengyou's actions made him too "disappointed".

Inspection Wang is very upset now.However, he will be even more unhappy next, his command right has been deprived by Liu Chengyou.
