Han Shizu

Chapter 981 Daily Life
As for the time to send troops, it is still early. It was originally planned to be in the autumn of this year, and there is still about half a year, which is enough for the Han court to prepare.On this point, Liu Chengyou can't help it. The climate in the south, especially Lingnan, according to Pan Mei's suggestion, it is best to send troops in winter.

As for Liu Chengyou, he is not a monarch who goes against the trend and acts arbitrarily, so he still has to wait.Therefore, when the Southern Expedition really started, the big man had already rested for nearly four years.

"For specific matters, if you have any doubts, the generals involved can consult the Privy Council in detail. Especially the generals who have returned to Beijing, they have some opinions, and the Privy Council also needs to communicate more, comprehensively adjust the situation of the military and the enemy, and properly adjust and improve the Pingnan military strategy!" Scanning After a lap, Liu Chengyou looked at Privy Envoy Li Chuyun.

"Yes!" Li Chuyun, who held great power, had always kept his posture low in front of the emperor. Hearing the order, he immediately responded: "There is no constant strategy, and you should adapt it to the changes of the times. I have something to ask the generals! "

Nodding his head, Liu Chengyou stood up, and with his movement, all the people left the table closely. Seeing this, Liu Chengyou said to Chai Rong and others: "You all have traveled thousands of miles to return to Beijing. You are exhausted from the journey and just need to rest. Let's go. Accompany me to Qionglin Garden, and I will treat you well!"

The four of them were just thanking, but Zhao Yanjin took it out and said: "Your Majesty, I have a question about Pingnan strategy!"

"If you have any questions, the privy envoys and deputy envoys are all here, ask them!" Looking at Zhao Yanjin, Liu Chengyou smiled slightly.

But Zhao Yanjin said: "Your Majesty, I am afraid that the two privy envoys will not be able to answer your questions!"

"Oh?" Liu Chengyou raised his eyebrows slightly, looked at Li Chuyun and Zhao Kuangyin who were also a little surprised, turned his head to look at him, with a slight smile on his face, and said, "Just tell me!"

"May I ask Your Majesty, the imperial court will use troops on four routes, and the other three routes will be cleared by the generals. I don't know who is the commander of the Jianghuai army with the heaviest and strongest strength?" Zhao Yanjin said in a deep voice, facing the gazes of the monarchs and ministers.

Hearing his words, Liu Chengyou fell silent. He was still hesitating about this issue, so it was reflected in the plan of the Privy Council.If Li Gu is in good health, there is no doubt that he will be a commander in chief, but he is not in good health after all, military wars, united fronts and the destruction of the country cannot tolerate such risks.

Of course, in this situation, if Liu Chengyou feels indebted in his heart, he and Li Gu can probably be the commander in name, and send another general to take charge of the army to actually command Pingnan.However, as far as Li Gu is concerned, is such compensation necessary?

The promise made back then allowed him to show his lofty ambitions and lead the northern army to flatten Jiangbiao, but he couldn't let him take the last step. Liu Chengyou was afraid that this veteran minister would feel bad.Speaking of it, Li Gu has been in Yangzhou for more than three years for the Pingnan War, if all the preparations are in place, it would be unfair to Li Gu to send other people to pick the fruit.

However, it still needs to refer to Li Gu's own opinion.Furthermore, maybe Li Gu's health has improved by the time the troops are dispatched.Of course, Liu Chengyou is not optimistic in his heart, he is afraid of the cold and damp weather due to wind arthralgia
Zhao Yanjin's question caught Liu Chengyou a little bit, but he was very quick-witted, his expression did not change, and he said with a light smile: "As for Pingnan's coach, I already have someone in my mind, and I will know when the time comes!"

On the way to Qionglin Garden, Pan Mei congratulated Cao Bin: "Congratulations to General Cao, leading an army alone, showing your talents, this is the time to reward your hero's ambition!"

The two walked side by side, turned their heads to look at Pan Mei who was smiling and seemed to be in a good mood, Cao Bin also smiled a little, and said indifferently: "Compared to the general who destroyed a country by himself, I am ashamed of myself! "

Hearing this, the smile on the corner of Pan Mei's mouth rose a little more.It can be said that Pan Mei beat Cao Bin in the battle of Pingnan.During the time of the two famous generals in Hunan, it is inevitable to compare. Although Cao Bin is modest and prudent, it does not mean that he is weak. In his actions and on the battlefield, he has the performance of competing with Pan Mei.From the Han-Cantonese War of 12 years, it can be seen that when Cao Bin moved his army to capture Lianzhou, it was after learning that Pan Mei had taken Guizhou that he made the decision.

Therefore, in the selection of General Pingyue, Liu Chengyou chose to separate the two and use Pan Mei as the main strategy for Guangdong.Compared with Pan Mei's destruction of Guangdong, Cao Bin's appointment as the upstream commander is also of great use, but after all, he just sided with the army all the way and cooperated with assisting Jiangnan. Compare.

This is also the reason why Cao Bin said so. Pan Mei also understands this truth, so she is happy.Moreover, from the tone of the two, it can be heard that the lingering countries in the south of the Yangtze River are just military exploits for them.
"The garrison troops of Chen and Company, I hope the general will treat them kindly!" Cao Bin took the initiative to say to Pan Mei.

Hearing this, Pan Mei immediately said: "The army led by Guohua is a rare strong man. The strong soldiers in the army can be reused. As long as they don't violate military discipline and military orders, they should be regarded as brothers!"

Compared with Cao Bin's generosity, Pan Mei is actually a ruthless person who dares to kill and is willing to kill, regardless of the enemy or himself. In fact, in the process of fighting against Guangdong, she has already shown a certain degree of cruelty.Of course, as the commander-in-chief of the first army, in order to ensure military victory, you can't do anything too much. None of the senior generals who founded the country were murderous.

Using Pan Mei is precisely because of his prestige to the Cantonese, and the Cantonese fear him more than Cao Bin.

"This Qionglin Garden is the only royal garden built by His Majesty. It is located on the bank of Jinming Lake. Starting the scientific research this spring, maybe we can also take the opportunity to acquire some literary spirit." With a little more leisure and elegance, Pan Mei took the initiative to introduce it to Cao Bin.

In Qionglin Court, bathing, banquets, and sex were naturally provided. For the returning generals, Liu Chengyou rewarded each of them with two dancers.

It was a cool spring night, sitting by the desk, Liu Chengyou subconsciously tightened the unlined clothes on his body.The bright candle flame flickered slightly, and the light shone on Liu Chengyou's face, but it looked serious.

Liu Chengyou was still thinking about how to arrange Chai Rong. As far as the court was concerned, it seemed that there was no suitable position, and it would definitely not work if he was low-level, and there were no vacancies for high-level positions.

It seems appropriate to put him in the Pingnan War, but Liu Chengyou is not very at ease in his heart.It's not that he suspects that he will rebel, but if he has too much prestige in the army and has too much power, it will not be a good thing for any aspect.

In the end, Liu Chengyou picked up the pen and wrote these five words.

"Officials!" A gust of fragrant wind hit, and the pleasant voice seemed to seduce his soul.

Looking up, the beauty came out of the bath, wrapped in a single silk, with a pretty face and a mature and seductive figure, she was the concubine Zhou Shu who was accompanying her.Putting down the pen, Liu Chengyou showed "appreciation" in his eyes, and waved to her. The beauty Pingting came and entered her arms lightly, her delicate buttocks were in close contact with his thigh.

Concubine Zhou Shu is now 27 years old, her face and body tend to be perfect, but what remains unchanged is the temperament of a talented woman who is knowledgeable and courteous, and she gave birth to a boy and a girl for Liu Chengyou.

Perhaps it was because of the sense of accomplishment of conquering a talented woman, or because of some other psychology. Recently, among the concubines in the Han Palace, Concubine Zhou Shu was the most favored by Liu Chengyou. Concubine Shu was moistened to a point of beauty.

Unable to bear the frivolity, and hearing Liu Chengyou's slightly sloppy words, Da Zhou's lady breathed a little bit, her face was rosy, and she was even more charming, and said: "What's wrong with the official family recently? Why is it so, so."

Seeing that she seemed a bit embarrassed to speak, Liu Chengyou became more interested, staring at her radiant face, and asked, "So what?"

"Frivolous! Impatient!" Tan spit out two words.

Liu Chengyou was slightly stunned, retracted his hand, stroked his beard, and looked at her suspiciously: "Is there any?"

However, he quickly laughed, picked up Concubine Shu, and went to the couch, saying forcefully: "Then be more anxious."

During this time, the emperor's desire seemed to be particularly strong.
