Five Dynasties River Mountains Fengyue

Chapter 27 Shi Yanchao, Minister of Humerus

At night, the central army tent is brightly lit, with tooth flags standing in front of the tent, the tent is luxuriously decorated, and even the door cloth is embroidered with gold patterns, which is beautiful and meticulous.

Guo Rong was dressed in a loose red robe and sat on a tiger-skin bed. The table in front of him was a little messy, and there were picture scriptures (maps), pen and ink, and neat and hardcover books on the red sandalwood bookshelf next to him.

In the tent, in addition to the official Guo Rong, there was also Zhang Yongde, who had removed his armor and was in uniform.

At the front of the tent stands a general of about [-] years old, dressed in military uniforms, and the dust is everywhere.

"I was ordered to lead more than a thousand soldiers to stop the thieves in Jiangzhuling. I didn't think that there were so many thieves who were defeated that day. One had no choice but to hold on, and let the leader of the thief Liu Min go. Please punish the officials!" Kneel down and kowtow.

Guo Rong's eyes were tired, and he nodded without punishment, "Get up.

On that day in Gaoping, I ordered you to hoard your troops in Jiangzhuling. I didn't expect the thieves to be defeated so quickly, and there were so many people who fled. I don't blame you for this. "

The generals thanked him again and again, and then Guo Rong waved his hand and let him go down to rest.

Zhang Yongde said: "The official's house should rest."

Guo Rong rubbed his temples and shook his head: "No, Li Gu hasn't come yet. If I don't listen to his report, I won't be able to sleep."

Zhang Yongde didn't say much, and Mu Leng stood aside and waited.

Outside the tent, the night wind was howling, Guo Rongqiang was in high spirits, and the attack has not been smooth in recent days. The Zhou army in Taiyuan City suffered heavy casualties, but still no progress was made.

Guo Rong thought about it for a moment and said to Zhang Yongde beside him, "Don't let Zhao Kuangyin attack the city tomorrow, it's rare to be brave, and it's bad if it happens."

Zhang Yongde nodded in agreement.

Now that the official family has newly ascended the throne, they are hungry for loyal ministers and good generals.

For example, Guo Rong was very happy to find Zhao Kuangyin, but he didn't expect to have such a loyal and brave general by his side.

There are also many others, such as Shi Congyun, the son of Shi Yanchao. Although Guo Rong is not happy to talk to Xun repeatedly for Shi Congyun, he appreciates young people.

He is very assertive and can distinguish who he is against. He is dissatisfied with Xiang Xun and speaks for Shi Congyun, but his anger will not be spread on Shi Congyun.

This battle also made him see that Fan Aineng, He Hui and others were unreliable, and the troops of various Jiedushis were unreliable.

After waiting for a while, the soldiers outside came in to report that Li Xianggong had arrived.

Guo Rong nodded and called him in.

Li Gu was covered in dust, his gray hair and beard were a little messy, and he was obviously busy all day.

Guo Ronglian asked Zhang Yongde to set up a chair and invited Li Gu to take a seat.

Li Gu was not polite, and directly sat down and reported to Guo Rong: "Return to the official's house, the minister will count the provisions today, and it will be able to support the army for more than three months, so it will not be a problem for a long-term confrontation."

The official Guo Rong said happily: "With Duke Li here, I have nothing to worry about!
If it weren't for Duke Li this time, the army would not be able to last, and there will be a reward when the teacher is in class! "

"Many thanks to the official family." Li Gu stood up and thanked him, but there was no joy on his face, but he didn't look good.

Li Gu hesitated for a moment, then said in a low voice: "Official family, although there is enough food and grass, but the soldiers are tired, the weather is getting hotter and raining from time to time, I'm afraid it will be difficult to hold on any longer."

As soon as these words came out, the entire tent became quiet, except for the whistling wind outside the tent, there was no movement, and even Zhang Yongde held his breath.

The generals said this a few days ago. At that time, the officials were furious and withdrew Fu Yanqing, the king of Wei, and replaced him with Li Gu, even at the expense of driving north to the front.

Now I say it again, the people who say it are different, and I don’t know how it works.

The officials did not get angry this time, but said seriously: "These small hardships, the sergeants can overcome."

Li Gu continued: "I'm afraid that the Liao soldiers will come to help."

"Liao Kingdom?" The official frowned: "Is it a detective?"

"No, the old minister is just guessing." After Li Gufang finished speaking, the official's expression turned bleak.

"The old minister didn't say anything to the public. He discussed it with the officials in private, and only felt that there was such a possibility." Li Gu added quickly.

The official nodded, his face returned to normal, "Then what Mr. Li thinks, let me hear it."

Li Gu surrendered, and then began to argue: "The old minister came to talk about the importance of Taiyuan in the shape of mountains and rivers, the danger of rivers and mountains, and the must of Liao."

The core of it is the importance of the Northern Han Dynasty to the Liao Kingdom that Shi Congyun told him that day. The main points are generally the same, but the expression has changed slightly.

At the end, Li Gu said that there is a high probability that he will send troops to rescue when he leaves Liao.

The official Chai Rong fell into contemplation after hearing this, the candles flickered in the tent, Zhang Yongde and Li Gu did not make a sound, and waited quietly for the official.

After a while, the officials seemed to return to their senses, sighed and said, "I didn't think that Li Gong, in addition to dealing with all kinds of opportunities, also studied the shape of mountains and rivers, and was well versed in the general trend of warfare.

I have been thinking about it, and it is indeed reasonable. If the Liao Kingdom is not all mediocre, it will not sit idly by. "

Li Gu laughed and said: "The official family is wrong, and the old minister also heard the truth from a military academy on the way. He suddenly felt that it was reasonable. After thinking about it, he was more surprised that it might come true, so the Tao and the official family took precautions before it happened."

"Military school?" Guo Rong was curious, "A military school that can compete with Duke Li is probably unusual."

"If it is unusual, it is true. This person is the son of Shi Yanchao, the commander of the right wing of Longjie and the defense envoy of Zhengzhou. His name is Shi Congyun. He is a very talented junior, and he is brave and has the style of his father." Li Gu replied.

"Isn't that a combination of civil and military." Zhang Yongde interjected, he is a typical person who has no opinion.

The official family of "Shi Congyun" was stunned for a moment, and then read the name again: "It's a coincidence." After that, he didn't say more.

After a while, Li Gu withdrew.

Zhang Yongde and Li Chongjin are the real family members of the official family Guo Rong, and they usually ask their opinions when they have something to do.

Zhang Yongde was about to leave, but was stopped by the officials.

"How do you interact with Shi Yanchao on weekdays?"

Zhang Yongde was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Not much, Shi Qianfeng is arrogant, and there are not many friends with him in the Japanese army, but many people respect him and fear him."

"Respectful and afraid." The officials carefully chewed these words.

"Yeah, Shi Qianfeng is brave, and takes the lead when killing the enemy!

Sometimes the enemy would not dare to take a detour and take a detour. His cavalry charged, even the Khitan cavalry could not resist, and the battle collapsed. "Zhang Yongde said excitedly.

Shi Yanchao is an old general of Guo Wei, who has experienced hundreds of battles and has been promoted to the throne through exhausted military achievements.

But what Guo Rong knew was not complete, because at the beginning, what he did for the late emperor Guo Wei was to take care of the rear.

The official nodded: "In Gaoping that day, it was Shi Yanchao who defeated the Northern Han Army."

Zhang Yongde agreed and quickly defended Shi Yanchao: "Shi Qianfeng is a powerful person, but he is not good at speaking and interacting with people."

After all, force in the army is respected, and many people are afraid of Shi Yanchao, and some hate him, but Shi Yanchao's bravery has also gained a large number of "fans" for him.

The official smiled rarely, and immediately said: "Shi Yanchao is a minister of the arm, I know it in my heart, you can go back and rest, and we will make some arrangements tomorrow."
