Five Dynasties River Mountains Fengyue

Chapter 259
In the tenth month of the East, Shi Congyun held a light snow, and personally bid farewell to Wang Shenqi outside Fengqiu Gate.

Wang Shenqi is now in his prime, at the age of 34, but now he is famous, without him, Wang Shenqi has a calm personality, has the ability to walk through Yang with a hundred steps, and is a person who moved from other places, and Shi Congyun trusts him the most.

As long as Shi Congyun has fought battles, Wang Shenqi is basically credited. In many cases, Wang Shenqi is one of the most confidant leaders under Shi Congyun's command.

Shi Congyun looked at the mighty generals around him, and felt very reluctant. In his heart, Wang Zhong, Shao Ji, Wang Shenqi, Dong Zunhui, and Luo Yanhuan were the first to follow him, and they were also loyal. Don't worry about those few people.

The two rode forward side by side, surrounded by many personal guards. The yellow grass and withered trees on the side of the road stretched far into the distance.

"General Wang, this time Heyang will be handed over to you." Shi Congyun said slowly, "The three cities of Heyang block the way out from the southeast of the river, guard Luoyang, and defend Tongguan. If Li Yun has two hearts, he will make a big deal , Only go south to occupy Heyang, cross the river to occupy Luoyang, and cut off Guanzhong.

If he is really like that, it will become a serious problem. "

Shi Congyun said seriously: "Among the most trusted generals under a certain subordinate, Shao Jixiaoyong can't stand alone; Wang Zhong is too frivolous; Dong Zunhui doesn't get along with everyone; Luo Yanhuan is loyal, but not talented enough.

Only you can lead one party alone, and also make a certain party the most. "

"Big guy!"

Shi Congyun turned his head and said, "I don't worry about handing over this place of Heyang to others, but I don't worry if you go. You have to train the soldiers in the three cities of Heyang well. There must be a battle between Li Yun and the court.

Restricting Li Yun, defending Luoyang, and the heavy responsibility of Tongguan are all entrusted to you. "

Hearing what he said, Wang Shenqi looked very excited, which is not like Wang Shenqi who has always been calm.

"King Qin, don't worry, a thief is in Henan, and the thief will not dare to go half a step south."

Shi Congyun nodded reassuringly: "With you here, I am really relieved."

Looking at the back of Wang Shenqi going north, he actually didn't say anything.

Most of the military generals in the Zhou Dynasty had a deep family background. Murong Yanzhao's father was the governor of Kaizhou and the leading general;

Zhao Kuangyin, behind Zhao Chao, Han Lingkun, Zhao Hongyin and other Zhao Group;
Behind Li Chongjin and Zhang Yongde is the royal family; Dong Zunhui, Gao Huaide and others are also a family, and Gao Xingzhou's Gao family is behind them.

Not to mention the places, the Fu family in Hebei, the Li family on the east side of Taihang, and the Zhe family of the Jingnan Army.

Their historians, Shi Yanchao, Shi Congyun, Wang Zhong, Shao Ji, these are all members of the direct line and a group.

And Wang Shenqi is from the west of Liaoning, moved to Luoyang, had no one to rely on, and got up entirely by bravery and ability, and there was no group behind him to support him.

The same goes for Si Chao. Si Chao is from Hebei, and he also made his fortune alone, relying entirely on his ability.

There is an unspoken rule in officialdom, high-ranking officials are all followed, and it has nothing to do with ability.

Generals like Si Chao, Wang Shenqi, and Li Chuyun, even if they have the ability, can't go far because they have no support behind them. Historically, Si Chao and Wang Shenqi have never reached a very high position; Ability, but conflicts with Murong Yanzhao, although Li Chuyun is reasonable, he is for the sake of the people, the Northern Song Dynasty chose Murong Yanzhao and gave up Li Chuyun.

The reason is simple, there is no one behind Murong Yanzhao.

This is the embarrassment of these generals. They don't have a deep background behind them, they don't have a huge group, they have to be careful everywhere, and no one will speak for them, so they won't get better opportunities. If they want to rise, they all depend on themselves, and the chances are slim.

This is also the reason why Shi Congyun pays special attention to Wang Shenqi, Si Chao, Li Chuyun and others. They are weak and weak, and they urgently need to rely on others.

Both emotionally and rationally, they are the group of people that Shi Congyun relies on and trusts the most.

Wang Zhong, Shao Ji, Wang Shenqi, Si Chao and other lonely generals are the ones he relies on the most, which is why he trusts Zhao Shijian so much. Shi Congyun never thought of asking others to be moral saints, to be loyal to the emperor more than self-interest, etc. of.

That's impossible, it's just nerdy talk.

People think about themselves first, but after thinking about themselves, these lonely generals without family background will definitely put him in the second place, and those with huge interest groups will put him in the second place. It's hard to say.

For their trust, emotions are mixed, and interests are also involved. There are emotional and rational considerations.

After a while, a handsome soldier came up slowly on a pony behind him, and put a purple ermine cape on him. When Shi Congyun turned his head, it was Zhao Shijian who came up.

"Wang Shenqi is guarding Heyang. I don't have to be afraid of Li Yun for the time being. I have to deal with one of my major concerns." Shi Congyun said.

"Can't bear him?"

Shi Congyun nodded, "I really don't have many talents like Wang Shenqi under my command. He is the one who can easily command and dispatch an army of more than [-] in formation, calmly and calmly. The other is Wang Quanbin and Li Chuyun.

Shao Ji is a strong general in the army, and he is best at charging into battle; Wang Zhong has a flexible mind, which is suitable for him to lead surprise soldiers;Luo Yanhuan is loyal, honest and prudent, but relatively mediocre, I like to let him guarantee the rear.”

As Shi Congyun rode back slowly, he chatted with Zhao Shijian. When talking about the war, he could talk for hours without shutting up.

Zhao Shijian was listening, like a curious baby.

"I really don't want Wang Shenqi to leave Beijing. I feel that it is too easy to lead troops with him. But apart from him, I can't find a general who can be alone and be my own." Shi Congyun was quite emotional. , There are many fierce generals who fought with him, but some of them still cannot be classified as confidantes.

For example, Gao Huaide, Han Lingkun, Murong Yanzhao, etc., these people are fierce generals, but they are not his confidantes, and their ability to stand on their own is definitely not as good as Wang Shenqi who fought with him all the way.

Wang Shenqi was present in all the wars he participated in.

"When talking about these generals, I think you are like a treasure." Zhao Shijian said, and then curled his lips, "It's like a baby."

Shi Congyun is so smart, he immediately understood that Zhao Shijian was jealous, but he didn't know what happened here. After all, women are not sure why.

Lian coaxed: "No matter how precious you are, there is no such thing as your baby. You are the biggest baby in my family. I will call you big baby from now on."

Zhao Shijian laughed: "What are you talking about, you don't feel ashamed, a man wants big things, of course he can't focus on small things, as long as you know how to go home when you have free time."

On the third day of October, Shi Congyun's second serious problem was also solved.

On the same day, Guo Tingwei and Shao Ji came back, and someone immediately went to the Shifu to report to him. Li Chongjin and his army also came back together.

Guo Ting said that people from all walks of life came to report to him, or to ask for credit.

After arriving at the ferry of the Yellow River, Shao Ji led his army to control the ferry. Guo Ting said that he rowed a small boat across the river to meet Li Chongjin in the camp on the other side of the Yellow River, without even the boatman.

Even going to the meeting alone is far better than going to the meeting alone, because in history, Guan Yu's going to the meeting alone was actually an agreement between Lu Su and Guan Yu's generals.

But Guo Tingzhi went directly to Li Chongjin's camp alone.

"The subordinates just told him how powerful they are. If he doesn't come back, the imperial court only needs a piece of imperial edict to designate him as a traitor. Will the [-] to [-] troops listen to him then? If the commander-in-chief leads the troops north again, When the soldiers saw the commander-in-chief, they were afraid that the one who killed him would be the soldiers of the Forbidden Army.

At the same time, he also assured him that as long as he returned to Daliang, he was a relative of the emperor, and he was also the head of the bodyguards, so he would be able to keep him safe, high-ranking, rich, and rich. "

"Did he mention any conditions?" Shi Congyun asked.

"He said he wanted to go back to Yangzhou and continue to serve as the Jiedushi in Huainan."

"What do you think?" Shi Congyun continued to ask.

"Master, you must not let him go back.

Although it is said that Li Chongjin has no strategy, but his prestige is too high. What he did this time is very detrimental to the commander. What if he returns to Yangzhou to do it again?

In my opinion, it is best to leave him idle in the capital, and then slowly find a reason to get rid of him. "Guo Ting said:" Marshal, this man will be a serious worry in the future. "

Shi Congyun was hesitant. At this moment, someone came in and reported that the eunuch came to the palace, and the queen invited King Qin to the palace.

Shi Congyun immediately understood: "The empress doesn't know how to deal with this matter, and she doesn't dare to deal with it herself, so she came to ask me."

"Li Chongjin is a foreign general. After he comes back, he has to go to the palace to meet the queen and hand over the military talisman. Maybe he can do what he did to Han Xin." Luqiu Zhongqing, who had been standing by the side, added in a low voice.

Shi Congyun and Guo Tingwei looked at him at the same time.
