Aspiring to the Ten Kingdoms

Chapter 116 Liu Yanzhen's Brilliant Deeds
Zhao Kuangyin returned to the tent in high spirits.

Zhao Kuangyi paced back and forth impatiently.

Like his elder brother Zhao Kuangyin, Zhao Kuangyi was also eager to make contributions.

He didn't want to live under Zhao Kuangyin's shadow for the rest of his life, being Zhao Kuangyin's younger brother wherever he went, and he didn't want to be compared to someone who kicked his ass and made him lose face.

After all, the deeds that Luo Youdu has done now are enough for him to leave a mark in the history books.

How would the history books record that he kicked himself at that time?

Only when his future status is higher than that of Luo Youdu, can the impact of this matter be minimized.

If you can control the authority and erase this matter, it would be the best.

Seeing Zhao Kuangyin came back, with a little excitement on his face, Zhao Kuangyi said: "Brother, has the official arranged a mission?"

Zhao Kuangyin nodded heavily and said, "The officials gave me five thousand soldiers to stop Huangfuhui's reinforcements."

Zhao Kuangyi was astonished and said, "Only five thousand?"

Zhao Kuangyin punched his right palm with his left fist, and said: "That's enough! The five thousand soldiers for my brother are different from Luo Youdu's. The five thousand soldiers for my brother were all trained by my brother. They are all brave men. Shanghuangfuhui will not suffer."

Zhao Kuangyi said in a deep voice, "Luo Youdu also received the military order?"

Zhao Kuangyin nodded solemnly, and said: "The officials clearly want to reuse the two of us, and they gave us a chance respectively. Each of us will lead five thousand soldiers. He is responsible for blocking Liu Yanzhen, and I am responsible for blocking Huangfuhui."

Zhao Kuangyi said happily: "That's great, Liu Yanzhen's reputation is enough for Luo Youdu to drink a pot. Fake Zhuge meets the real Han Xin, I'm afraid he will reveal his secrets..." He thought for a while, and said: "I'm afraid of this Han Xin, It's also fake. But even if it's fake, our army doesn't have a navy, so we have the upper hand in everything."

"Never mind him!" Zhao Kuangyin said with fierce fighting intent in his eyes, "No matter how Luo Youdu fights, this time you and my brother must seize this opportunity and perform well."

Zhao Kuangyi resolutely said: "It should be so. Elder brother will charge forward, and younger brother will set up an formation for elder brother. You and I will meet that Huangfu Hui for a while."

Early the next morning, Guo Rong's order was conveyed.

Zhao Kuangyin acted vigorously and hurriedly led five thousand soldiers to leave the barracks and headed straight for Huangfuhui.

Luo Youdu ordered the soldiers and horses in a calm manner.

Looking at the [-] soldiers under his command, Luo Youdu knew that Guo Rong had put a little effort into the personnel arrangement.

Shi Shouxin, Cao Bin, and Zhao Yu are all people Luo Youdu can mobilize.

Needless to say, Shi Shouxin and Cao Bin, Zhao Ting was Han Jixun's deputy general in Qinzhou when he conquered Shu in the west.

After the Zhou Dynasty, he worked hard in the hands of Luo Youdu, and together with Zhang Jianxiong, they flanked the Shu general Gao Yanchou on Chencang Road, and performed well.

Guo Rong rewarded him for his merits, transferred him to Bai Chongzan's subordinates, and participated in the battle with Bai Chongzan.

Guo Rong transferred him from Bai Chongzan to Luo Youdu.

Obviously, he didn't want to see people in the army dragging Luo Youdu down because he refused to accept Luo Youdu's dispatch.

Luo Youdu acted according to plan and stayed at Zhengyang Bridge.

Cao Bin, Shi Shouxin, Zhao Ting, and Zhang Qiong firmly believed in Luo Youdu's magic calculation, but Pan Mei was a little flustered.

Pan Mei is good at military affairs. Although she has almost zero actual combat experience, she has one set of tactics in her mind.

This attack on Zhengyang Bridge is indeed a possible attack method, but besides Zhengyang Bridge, there are several attack directions that can fully utilize the advantages of the navy.

If the prediction is wrong, wouldn't it be a shame?

Facing Pan Mei's question, Luo Youdu could only say: "Trust me!"

The spring rains are continuous, and above the Huaihe River, there is smog.

The looming warships headed upstream against the Huai River in the thick fog.

Wearing gorgeous bright armor, Liu Yanzhen stood at the bow of the ship facing the spring breeze, feeling agitated, and said to the generals beside him: "I, Liu Yanzhen, and all the troops became famous in this battle."

Cheng Shilang said loudly: "I would like to die with the general."

Zhang Yanhan also said: "It is an honor to be able to defeat the enemy with Han Xin of the Tang Dynasty."

Liu Yanzhen was full of fighting spirit, and said again: "I heard that the northern thief has a little Zhuge recently, who is in the limelight. The officials have talked about him, why did the southerners follow the northern thief? Since the officials appreciate him, if there is a chance, he will be captured by the officials. In front of the family, let him work for the government."

Cheng Shilang smiled and said: "It should be so, Zhuge Yan is Han Xin's opponent? What's more, he is still a little Zhuge!"

Liu Yanzhen's heart was full of enthusiasm for the praise, and her spirits were high.

Only Wu Yanhui hesitated to speak, with a bitter face.

He is Liu Yanzhen's close friend, and his ability is not outstanding, so he can become a commander thanks to Liu Yanzhen's recommendation.

Of course he didn't dare to spoil Liu Yanzhen's interest, and to make him unhappy, he would have nothing to do as a commander.

But he was beating drums in his heart, always feeling that something was wrong.

Others don't know who Liu Yanzhen is, how can he not know at a young age.

Liu Yanzhen is the son of Wu Gongchen Liu Xin.

Liu Xin was a gangster who was born as a thief. He couldn't get along in the Central Plains and defected to Yang Wu.

Tang Zhuangzong destroyed Liang and sent envoys to advise senior official Xue Zhaowen to go to Fujian as an envoy, pretending to go to Hongzhou. Liu Xin rewarded Xue Zhaowen enthusiastically. During the meeting, he said to Xue Zhaowen: "The emperor knows whether there is faith in the world."

Xue Zhaowen replied honestly, "The Lord is in Xinping Henan, and the name of the Lord is unknown."

Liu Xin said domineeringly, "Han has Han Xin, Wu has Liu Xin, first-class people."

Zhuge Huohuo in Western Shu, it's Han Xin's turn here.

Liu Xin's cowhide died without being pierced.

Then his son Liu Yanzhen moved to Tuntian Yuanwailang by virtue of his father's achievements.

Liu Yanzhen's archery skills are very good, and his arrows are worthy of the target. He is nicknamed "Liu Yijian" in the army. In addition to archery skills, he also has another specialty, which is making money.

The ability to make money is superb, not to mention the loan sharks himself, but also secretly digging the dams, letting the flood flood thousands of hectares of fertile land, and then buying these fertile land at a low price.Then, in the name of the imperial court, the dam was repaired to remove the flood, and the land was sold at a high price.Once back and forth, he made hundreds of millions.

He can use all kinds of money-making methods that you can't think of.

But if you want to say that he is greedy for money, it is a big mistake.

Liu Yanzhen was not greedy for money at all. He sent all the money he earned to Jinling to bribe Southern Tang officials.Regardless of the rank, as long as the officials who are greedy for ink, they can receive more or less money from him.

When it comes to Liu Yanzhen, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty are full of praise, such as famous generals in the world, comparable to Sun Wu Hanbai, how to brag about it.

These three became tigers, not to mention that Li Jing, who lived in the palace, was deceived, even those loyal officials in the temple heard too much, and thought Liu Yanzhen was a great talent.

Following everyone's opinion, the whole Southern Tang knew that Liu Yanzhen was such a number one figure, and he really boasted that he became the No. 1 general in the Southern Tang Dynasty, who governed the army like Han Xin and governed the people like Gong Sui.

When Li Jing went south to Shouzhou this week, the first thing Li Jing thought of was Liu Yanzhen, and he gave him the command of the most well-equipped navy in the Southern Tang Dynasty, so that he could defeat the enemy.

As the saying goes, if you wear a mask for a long time, you can't take it off.

Listening to the flattery of the people around her, Liu Yanzhen gradually regarded herself as Han Xin.

The only one who was sober was Wu Yanhui, who didn't understand anything, but he didn't dare to speak.
