Aspiring to the Ten Kingdoms

Chapter 110 Disagreement
Shi Shouxin was worried that he didn't read much, so he couldn't talk to people like Luo Youdu.

But he didn't want to talk to each other without any barriers. When Luo Youdu talked to them, he never pretended to be profound, and what he said was the most straightforward thing.

Especially when it comes to cavalry, it is easy to understand such things as deep penetration, division of the battlefield, and galloping for thousands of miles.

Shi Shouxin is a good cavalry player, he knows a lot of things, he knows how to fight, but he can't say it.

When Luo Youdu said this, Shi Shouxin was enlightened, and it turned out that he could still explain it this way.

Shi Shouxin finally understood why Han Lingkun said that getting along with Luo Youdu was like drinking fine wine, with a long aftertaste.

Drinking and chatting with my rough friends, it's for drinking, laughing and cursing, bragging and farting, most of which are nonsense that ordinary people can't listen to.

But drinking and chatting with Luo Youdu, drinking is the next best thing.He can always find something to talk about, and it's not an awkward chat with one person bragging. He can get people around him involved and stir up the atmosphere, so that when he regains consciousness, time passes unknowingly.

The key is that Luo Youdu talked about nutritious topics, and he could learn something in retrospect.

This surprised Shi Shouxin.

For two consecutive days, he dragged Han Lingkun to drink with Luo Youdu.

Luo Youdu didn't refuse either, and called Gao Huaide, Cao Bin, and Pan Mei together to let Shi Shouxin fully integrate into his circle.

Or talk about military affairs, or talk about the next Huainan battle, or talk about whether you are happy or not.

Shi Shouxin didn't like Gao Huaide very much at first, he disliked his own way of doing things, and felt that he didn't give him face.

But under Luo Youdu's mediation, Shi Shouxin changed his view of Gao Huaide a little bit, knowing that the other party didn't give him face, but that when his temper came, no one would give him face.

Of course, when discussing martial arts, it would be better for him to be lighter.

Shi Shouxin didn't say he was Da Zhou, even if he looked at the world, he was a first-class general, but the gap between this first-class and super-first-class was an insurmountable chasm.

Seeing Gao Huaide knock Shi Shouxin down, Luo Youdu couldn't help but think to himself: Brother Gao's strength is so terrifying, how tyrannical is Zhao Kuangyin, who is only as powerful as him?
Wait and see!
Shi Shouxin was ready to lose face, but he soon realized that he seemed to be thinking too much, and no one laughed at him at all.

On the contrary, the vast majority of people think that he knows his mistakes and can correct them, and he has the style of the ancients.

A few narrow-minded people only dare to complain behind their backs. With Luo Youdu's current momentum, most of the generals are afraid to talk openly.

Luo Youdu's military exploits in Xishu have silenced most people's mouths.

In the face of military exploits, everything is false.

On this day, Guo Rong suddenly ordered Luo Youdu to enter the palace urgently.

Luo Youdu knew in his heart that it must be for military reasons.

Compared with the good news that came like snowflakes before, there has been no good news in recent days.

Of course there is no defeat.

But Shouzhou City is really difficult to fight.

Sun Tzu's Art of War will not write the sentence "siege is the next step" for no reason.

With the advancement of fortification technology, but firearms have not kept pace, siege warfare is the most terrible.

There are countless fortified battles against cities in history. As long as there are individual fortified cities, it is possible to fight for more than ten or twenty years as long as they go all out to defend.

In particular, Shouzhou City was specially reinforced by Li Min, the founding emperor of the Southern Tang Dynasty.

Li Min, the founding emperor of the Southern Tang Dynasty, can be described as a hero of his generation.

During his reign, he insisted on eliminating troops and truce externally to protect the environment and the people, and promoting advantages and eliminating disadvantages internally.The superior can be courteous to the corporal, but the inferior can accept advice with an open mind.Due to successive years of wars, many refugees from the Central Plains were displaced in the Jianghuai area. Li Min actively and properly resettled them, and developed the Southern Tang Dynasty into the strongest existence among the ten countries.

But it would be a big mistake to think that he is the master of success.

Li Min is not only not the master of success, but has a particularly long-term vision.

His success can be compared with Zhu Yuanzhang's extensive accumulation of grain and slow proclaiming king.

He is gathering strength and waiting for the world to change.

It's just a pity that Li Min didn't wait for the world to change.He died at the age of 56 due to sores on his back due to the poisoning of the elixir.

Before he died, Li Min gave his son Li Jing a great plan to influence the world: "The enemy is in the north now, and the north is at peace, so the countries can summon him with a book. Why do soldiers do it? It is a big taboo for soldiers to do it lightly. It is better to save money." Cultivate sharpness to wait for the time."

As a result, Li Jing didn't listen. After assuming the throne, he began to use troops abroad on a large scale to eliminate Chu and Fujian. Although they robbed a lot of land, they missed a great opportunity to win the world.

Yelude of the Liao Kingdom was defeated by the Central Plains, and the people of the Central Plains were driven out.

During this period of time, the Central Plains had no masters, and the Southern Tang Dynasty could recover the Central Plains rebels as long as they sent out a strong force at will, and seized the Central Plains without any effort.

At that time, the Southern Tang Dynasty had the wealth in the south of the Yangtze River and the Central Plains. Who in the world could stop it?
Even Liu Zhiyuan of the later Han Dynasty had no chance, let alone Guo Wei, the general under Liu Zhiyuan's command.

However, Li Jing fell into the quagmire of war and had no time to go north, missing the opportunity.Only then did the Hou Han, and even the present Hou Zhou.

This Shouzhou is Li Min's specially reinforced base camp to resist the Central Plains going south, or going north to the Central Plains.

Historically, the Later Zhou Dynasty fought against Shouzhou for a full year and a half. In the end, the generals of the Southern Tang Dynasty were at odds, the reinforcements of the Tang army in Zijin Mountain were defeated, there was no food in Shouzhou City, and Liu Renshan, a famous general of the Southern Tang Dynasty, was suddenly seriously ill and unable to command. It happened at the same time, which made Shouzhou lose its backbone, and the deputy general Xiancheng surrendered.

Guo Rong conquered Jianghuai three times, and both times were for Shouzhou.

From Da Zhou to Guo Rong and above, they failed to win Shouzhou even if they broke their heads. Even if Li Gu is both civil and military, how could he capture Shouzhou in a short period of time?
But Guo Rong is impatient, Luo Youdu waited here, he definitely can't do it.

Arriving at the Hall of Yanhe, Guo Rong scolded Li Gu angrily in the hall: "The general is not accepting the order of the king outside, and he is playing with me. How can this be reasonable, otherwise it will not work."

The prime ministers Wang Pu and Fan Zhi shrank their heads, not daring to say a word.

Wang Pu was seriously looking at the military newspaper in his hand, seeing Luo Youdu coming, he handed the military newspaper to him.

Luo Youdu received the military newspaper, and it was exactly as he had imagined on the way.

After Li Gu pulled out the square nails in Shouzhou, he began to launch an offensive against Shouzhou City.

After more than ten days of probing, he found that Shouzhou could not be attacked by force, and proposed the strategy of besieging the city and cutting off food, and besieging points to fight for aid.

Use Shouzhou to lure the reinforcements of the Tang army to rescue them, and constantly eliminate the reinforcements of the other side, so as to weaken the strength of the Southern Tang Dynasty and seize Shouzhou.

However, Guo Rong was impatient and couldn't wait. He didn't want to surround Shouzhou and let Li Gu divide his troops to attack other places in Jianghuai.

At this time, Li Guwen's stubbornness came to the fore. He felt that dividing his troops to fight other places would reduce the strength of the besieging troops, which led to the opportunity for Southern Tang to send grain and grass materials to Shouzhou, so he rejected Guo Rong's opinion.
