Late Tang Dynasty Floating Life

Chapter 524 Learning
"Marshal!" Fu Cunshen rushed to Longchi Palace with two cronies.

"Sit down and talk." Shao Shude waved.

Chen Cheng and Zhao Guangfeng were also called from the Yaohua Palace Office to discuss matters together.

"General Fu towned Hu Guo. He fought dozens of times, and the bandits were not allowed to enter. His merits are great." Shao Shude stopped Fu Cunshen's words of loyalty, and said, "Needless to say, I will remember all your achievements. There will be a chance."

"Thank you, Marshal, for cultivating it."

"What do you think about Li Han's matter?"

"Marshal, the last general knows that Li Han's ambitions are extremely great, and he is not a person who is inferior to others." Fu Cunshen obviously thought up his words on the way, and he only heard him say: "This time, Xue Zhiqin is under the control of Lu Han. Zhou, drove Li Hanzhi to Zezhou. According to his heart, he should have rebelled long ago. If he has not rebelled at this time, he has nowhere to go."

Luzhou is a natural place for Zhaoyi, with a population of nearly 40 in its heyday, but only 10,000+ in Zezhou.The two places have been plagued by Li Hanzhi for many years, and the remaining half of the people are considered too many.That is to say, Zezhou only has a population of tens of thousands at this time, and it is absolutely impossible to exceed 1. The more than [-] soldiers who support Li Hanzhi must not be able to support them, and they must be helped by Hedong.

To the east of Zezhou is Weibo, to the west is Hezhong, and to the south is Heyang.

Wei Bo is Zhu Quanzhong's sphere of influence, he is not qualified to accept surrenders, and he will not give up his territory to Li Hanzhi.

Huaizhou in Heyang was Li Hanzhi's former residence, and Mengzhou was Sun Ru's territory. It is conceivable that there are not many people left.Shao Shude even bought a lot of people from Sun Ru's men, and he recruited them privately, so the population was even smaller.

After Huai and Meng prefectures were merged by Zhu Quanzhong, the common people had a chance to recuperate. Can there be 10 people at this time?Probably not.

To Li Hanzhi, there was no difference between Zezhou and Heyang.

The land of Jin Jiang had already been annexed by Shao Shude, so of course it was impossible to give it to Li Hanzhi, presumably he knew this very well.

Therefore, Li Hanzhi had no one to surrender to.

Neither Zhu Quanzhong nor Shao Shude could give him autonomy, but Li Keyong gave it to him, so no matter how ambitious Li Hanzhi was, no matter how dissatisfied he was, he could only put it away and forbear in dormancy.

"I can't satisfy Li Hanzhi's appetite. But with his ambition, something will happen in the future, and he will come to beg me at that time. Contact him in advance, so as not to bring Zezhou to surrender Zhu Quanzhong hastily." Shao Shude said.

"The general understands." When Shao Shude said this, Fu Cunshen immediately understood and stepped forward.

Seeing that he understood, Shao Shude said, "Just send someone to do this, don't put yourself in danger."

Any instigation of rebellion, unless the other party voluntarily surrenders, most of them are not started in a hurry, nor can they be effective in a short time.

In history, in the fourth year of Tianfu (904), Zhu Quanzhong killed the king. Ding Hui, who guarded Zelu, heard the news of Zhaozong's death and ordered the entire army to die, crying bitterly.Is this crying for Zhaozong?Not necessarily, maybe Weishi Shucong and other veterans who were killed without authorization.It has not been a year or two since Zhu Quanzhong suppressed his old brother, and Ding Hui also expressed his dissatisfaction.

But if he dared to do this, he obviously had no fear. He had no private contact with Jinyang, so he left a way out. Who would believe it?
In the third year of Tianyou (906), when the Jin army attacked Luzhou, Ding Hui directly surrendered without any pressure, which caused a reversal of the situation between Liang and Jin.From 904 to 906, what happened in the two years is not difficult to guess.

Is Dinghui the only one of Zhu Quanzhong's subordinates who was recruited?Obviously impossible.

Does Zhu Quanzhong know?Most of them know.

But this is nothing at all, because there is no absolute loyalty in the world, let alone this era when martial arts ruled the country.

Fu Cunshen is standing in front of Shao Shude at this moment, respectful, but has anyone ever wooed him in private?there must be.

Li Tangbin has tens of thousands of soldiers, Zhu Quanzhong has not sent the old Chaojun to win him over?Even if you think about it with your toes, you know it's impossible.

But Li Tangbin has only reported once so far.What about the rest?Maybe he had an old friendship with him, and couldn't bear to harm him, so he let him go in private.

Shao Shude didn't believe that Zhu Quanzhong had only wooed him once, but he also didn't think that Li Tangbin couldn't be used, it was all human nature at this time.

When An Xiuxiu defected here, all his family members were in Hedong. Li Keyong didn't kill him, but secretly sent people to contact him to persuade him to return.

Yang Yue, who guarded Shuozhou as a guest army, was also wooed several times by Li Keyong.

This is normal.As a ruler, if you turn your back on someone because of this, you will lose trust in someone. If you really demand absolute loyalty, there will be no one in the world to use.

"Also, if Li Hanzhi really brings Zezhou to surrender, he can't agree to it for the time being. His subordinates may contact him in private. I don't believe that Li Hanzhi is monolithic." Shao Shude warned again.

Poaching people is the basic operation of the major forces, and it belongs to the unspoken rules that everyone knows well. No one will turn their face for this matter, but blatantly incorporating Zezhou is going to cross the line.

Anyway, get acquainted in advance, and you don't need to pay any cost. If you have dates or not, you can make a shot. What if Li Hanzhi really went to plunder Heyang on a whim?
After saying these words, Shao Shude left Qingliang Palace and asked Chen Cheng and Zhao Guangfeng to explain the details to Fu Cunshen, while he left Longchi Palace with his son and headed for Jiangzhou.

The first family members of the Chishui, Wuxing, and Guzhen armies have arrived in Jiangzhou by boat.

Jiangzhou has been invaded by Li Hanzhi for many years, and the main losses are the counties in the east and Longmen in the west. The agricultural conditions are good and the population is large. county.

"Wuling Road leading to Zelu, there is a second north-south line. I have learned it in the past few days, but do you still remember?" After Shao Shude's car arrived in Quwo (now the county), the family members had already lived in tents.

Fortunately, the weather was not cold, and in a month or so, the wooden house was almost completed, which was more than enough to house these military families.

"The North Road starts from Linfen County, Jinzhou, travels 78 miles east to Shenshan County (now Fushan), and then 44 miles east to Wuling."

"The South Road starts from Yicheng County, Jiangzhou, and goes northeast for 75 miles to Wuling. The Ling Road is forty miles long from east to west, and it is the lowest point among the hundreds of miles of mountains between Fen and Qin, so there is a post road."

The two sons knew each other very well, and said separately.

"Do you still remember Zhi Guandao before?" Shao Shude asked suddenly.

The two were a little embarrassed: "I still remember some..."

Shao Shude smiled, and forgot the front after reciting it, but it was normal, and comforted him: "It's okay, homework needs to be reviewed from time to time. From now on, I will fight with my father and get in touch with him more, so I won't forget it."

"Wuling is now under the control of Li Han. Zelu's army can go down to the ridge at any time, and raid the Jin and Jiang plains with a condescending attitude." Shao Shude said: "Wuling Road should belong to Jinzhou, Wuling Go eastward for [-] miles after going down the mountain to Qinshui. On the west bank of Qinshui is Jishi County (more than a hundred miles southeast of Guxian County, Linfen City), which is also in the hands of Li Han." Shao Shude said: "Li Han's invasion of Jin , Jiang, and even hundreds of miles of uninhabited areas rely on this area under control. If Li Keyong attacks me in the future, he can also take this road, and he will go to the plains as soon as he goes down the mountain, and I have no danger to defend."

"Can't you recruit Li Hanzhi?"

"He won't surrender, and Ze Lu can't satisfy him, unless the situation is exhausted, but he will only vote temporarily." Shao Shude said: "There is a kind of person in this world who is extremely ambitious and doesn't pay attention to anyone. Opportunity, for this reason, even family members can be abandoned. This kind of person is wolf-hearted, father and son and brother will not hesitate to kill each other, my son must not learn from it."

"Yes." The two agreed in unison.

"Grandpa still has the strength and ambition." Shao Shude held his son's hand vigorously, and said as he walked, "In the future, as grandpa gets old and his strength declines, it will be up to you to walk by holding grandpa's hand. Between father and son, there is nothing that cannot be said. Between brothers, there is nothing that cannot be solved. In this world, we father and son travel together, and wherever we go, it counts. Li Hanzhi, if you are hungry, you will vote, if you are full, you will go Go, nothing can make him worry about. This kind of person can only be used, not reused. He keeps his promises for his father all his life, and never breaks his promises. My son also wants to do the same, but don't make promises lightly. If the matter is important , You can ruin the promise once or twice, but you must think about whether it is worth doing. In this matter, Liu Bei took advantage of his reputation and value to the extreme, and took Xichuan, and he was also infamous for this. Therefore, destroying Before you promise, you must think about it, is it worth it?"

The two seemed to understand, but still nodded in unison.

"Let's go, let's see where the sergeants' families are going to live." The father and son got into an empty grain carriage, Chengjie and Siwu raised their heads and looked out, Shao Shude asked people to fill a few bags of grain into the carriage , sat on it by himself, held his two sons in his arms, and let them watch as much as they wanted.

"Did you see that mountain? There are few plants and trees, and the soil is red. It's called Jiangshan, which produces copper." Shao Shude pointed to a hill and said, "The country casts money, and there are 99 furnaces in the world, but Jiangzhou's Furnace [-], unfortunately less copper is produced now, but there is still a small improvement. There is Zheyao Mountain in Yuan County, Shaozhou, which also produces copper. In ancient times, copper was mined to make coins. Because of the long-term mining, the ridge was damaged, so it was named. Now After the heyday, copper should still be there, but the local people are scarce, and it will need to recover slowly. There is also a copper mine in Wenxi County, Jiangzhou, called Tangshan, which is still being mined. If the three copper mines are all restored, Useful."

"That's hot spring, also known as Qixinghai. In the third year of Yonghui, there was a Xinjiang canal, which irrigated more than a hundred hectares of fields. After Li Han's invasion, there were no people left, and the canal was half abandoned. It was taken for my father, and hundreds of people can be placed there. Hu Sergeant's family."

"That's Shaqu, also known as Tangqu, which was excavated by Guangjiao Temple during the Zhenguan period. It was very large at first, but now it only irrigates more than a hundred acres of fields. It is not too little for a father. It is also possible to use it to resettle a few families. If it is done well Refurbishment, maybe more."

"That's Jiangshui, and there are a lot of fields on both sides..."

Within a day, the carriage traveled all over the place, and Shao Shude explained carefully every time he arrived at a place.

"Army, you must hold it firmly in your hands, watch it under your nose, and don't give it to others lightly. If there is any benefit, don't think about it for yourself, you must share it with everyone. Even ordinary soldiers must share it. Benefits." Shao Shude continued: "People fight for you, why do you come here? Martial arts don't understand the truth, emperors can be robbed, scholars can be killed, and it's not for money and fame? Uncle Li of the two of you Restricted use, hang the whip on the willow branches, nine out of ten hits, such force still needs the support of soldiers. The power of the superior lies in gathering the crowd. If the hearts of the crowd are absent, there is nothing to do. It is Li Hanzhi and other rotten people. There are more than 1 warriors following him, who are brave and good at fighting, use their skills as vanguards, and repeatedly defeat powerful enemies. The soldiers are willing to fight for Li Han's death, which shows that he has gathered the strength of everyone."

"For my father, I spent a lot of money to relocate the families of the three armies of Chishui, Wuxing, and Guzhen this year, but this is still a small head. Next year, the two armies of Tielin and Wuwei will be the big heads. This is not easy to handle. But it must be done, understand?"

"Understood, Wufu must keep an eye on it." Shao Chengjie replied: "We must share the benefits with them."

"Take it with you wherever you go." Shao Siwu added, and said, "As long as it is beneficial, they are willing to go with you."

"This is just the most basic." Shao Shude said with a smile: "A little more advanced is prestige. Remember, martial arts don't understand the general trend of the world, and they are also very aggressive. Don't think that they can't do things like a feudal town against the whole world. Come out. At this time, you need some advanced things to calm them down."

After going around and returning to Quwo County, Du Honghui and Zhao Guanwen had been waiting for a long time.

It was already dark, and the second son would continue to study cultural knowledge after dinner.

In the past few days, I have been talking about martial arts a lot, and my kung fu has fallen behind.Zhejia martial arts masters are still waiting, and their martial arts homework has to catch up with the progress.

The top-level learning resources, the busy schedule of courses, and the constant observation of politics and martial arts, the time of the two sons is really occupied.

"Marshal, I hope Judge Si Pei has an urgent message." As soon as he entered the palace, he was about to play with Xiao Shi or Pei Shi when he received an urgent report.

Shao Shude didn't dare to be negligent, so he read it carefully after disassembling it.

The troops garrisoned behind Youzhou Mountain rebelled, and Li Keyong hurriedly led his troops to the expedition.

Ying and Mo Erzhou colluded with Wang Rong and rebelled.

Zhuozhou surrendered and rebelled again. Chu Cun, king of Yiding, responded to Li Keyong's invitation to send troops to conquer.

Youzhou is so lively!Shao Shude slapped the letter on the table.

It's not that easy to swallow a big town.Li Keyong, I'm afraid he's stuck there.

"Come on!" Shao Shude said loudly.

"Master."

"Send an envoy to Hedong County, meet with Wang Yao, the Jiedu Envoy of the Protectorate Army, and order him to recruit a large army, bring food and grass, and attack Wangwu County and Qiziling, with no less than [-] paces." Shao Shude said.

"As ordered."

This year we have to relocate the families of sergeants, arrange their lives, sort out the internal affairs of Jinjiang, and reorganize the army, so we don't have much time to do other things.

Wang Yao is so free, there are still more than [-] people in the Hezhong army, why don't you use it a bit, save it for the New Year?

This guy, with the [-] Jiangzhou army he brought over as the backbone, desperately digested the old government army in the river.This ambition is normal for a martial artist, but it doesn't mean he can tolerate it.

Some domineering big-headed soldiers are useless in reasoning, and can only be sent to the battlefield to be consumed.It doesn't matter if you win or lose, but you must fight.

"There is one more thing." Shao Shude said again suddenly: "Wang Jian and his troops guard Qianqiu City from the left side of the Baoyi Army, and eight thousand people from the right side of the Baoyi Army and their relatives to attack Xiashi Fortress. I will give Li Tangbin an order to make them mutiny. If you don't mutiny, those who make meritorious deeds will be rewarded, transferred to Huguo City, and handed over to Fu Cun's trial command. Fu Cun's trial department has [-] party Xiangshan people. I heard that they have trained well, and they can form an army alone. .”

"As ordered."
