Aspiring to the Ten Kingdoms

Chapter 143

As May approaches, the wheat in the Jianghuai fields is gradually taking shape, and the autumn harvest is gradually on the agenda.

Given the chaos in Huainan, the ownership of the autumn grain will be a big problem.

Zhao Pu is very capable of seeing through this in advance.

But looking at the faces of these two people, Zhao Kuangyi felt uncomfortable in his heart.My brother is competing with Luo Youdu, and he still has to learn his policies with a shy face?
"You can figure out how to do this!"

Zhao Kuangyi knew that what Zhao Pu said was reasonable, and he had no reason to refuse, but he also lost his desire to have a deep talk with Zhao Pu.

After handing over, Zhao Kuangyi went directly to his brother Zhao Kuangyin.

Zhao Pu, who was inexplicably caught by Luo Youdu's little fan, felt extremely upset when he learned that Zhao Kuangyi didn't pay him much attention at all.

Historically, because Zhao Kuangyin's father, Zhao Hongyin, happened to be ill at this time, Zhao Pu served Zhao Hongyin as a drug bait day and night in order to please Zhao Kuangyin.

Zhao Hongyin was moved as if he had an extra son, and he treated him with affection from the same clan.

Because of this, Zhao Kuangyin became more fond of Zhao Pu, and found that this guy who didn't read much and didn't have much talent on the surface had a big strategy in his chest, so he took it as his heart.

Now the bridge of Zhao Hongyin is missing, and because of Dou Yi, Luo Youdu's real little fan, it is misleading.

Zhao Pu, a utilitarian, was directly ignored by Zhao Kuangyi.

Zhao Pu didn't even know the reason, he just thought that Zhao Kuangyi didn't like him.

Poor and wronged.

Shuzhou.

Luo Youdu officially took over Shuzhou City, and this battle was the most difficult one he had fought since entering Huainan.

Although the disadvantage of ascending the city was erased by virtue of the earth-mountain warfare, they paid a heavy price in the battle for the tower in the face of Zhu Lingyun's desperate resistance.

The number of dead and seriously injured was as high as [-], and the wounded were more than [-].

Such a price was paid for beating Shuzhou. One can imagine how tragic the city of Shouzhou was.

Luo Youdu also wants to take Shouzhou City as soon as possible, as long as he takes Shouzhou City, everything in Huainan will be settled.

The current chaos in Huainan is not a problem.

But Luo Youdu has nothing to do with Shouzhou City, even though he is a time traveler, the time traveler is not omnipotent.

Luo Youdu thought more than once, if he had several mortars, or the Italian artillery of the second battalion commander, it would be so troublesome to use them.

With this cross-age thing, let alone attacking Shouzhou, he dared to bring soldiers and horses to bombard the gate of his mother's Youzhou.

Don't scare the Khitan emperors so much that they can't take care of themselves, write the three characters Luo Youdu upside down.

Reality doesn't come cheap.

In this era, for a strong city like Shouzhou, there is really no way but to force it.

As for black powder.

Luo Youdu also thought that black powder was born less than a hundred years ago, without the development of the times, and without the support of purification technology, black powder is no different from fireworks.

Even if you really get a few tons of black powder from this era, it's just a big firework.

As a businessman, Luo Youdu didn't have the ability to purify black gunpowder or make yellow gunpowder, and he didn't know if it could be done in this era.

While Luo Youdu was thinking wildly, Shi Shouxin strode into the Shuzhou government office.

Luo Youdu poured him a glass of water and handed it over.

Shi Shouxin drank it all in one gulp, and said: "The other party is very thieves. Judging from the footprints, it seems that they marched in a hurry, in a mess, and occasionally there are some discarded heavy objects. It is obvious that we will pursue them. They ran into Dabie Mountain first. The environment there is complicated and not conducive to cavalry combat, so I came back."

Luo Youdu flashed the topographic map near the Dabie Mountains in his mind, and said, "Are you familiar with the Si Zhaoan inspector and the Qi Liuzhai envoy?"

Shi Shouxin nodded and said, "They're both members of the army, so they're somewhat related. It's just that both of them are foreign generals, and they don't have much contact with each other, but they can talk."

Luo Youdu said: "Brothers please write a letter to each of them, telling them to be on guard, saying that there is an army of four or five thousand with good fighting power coming towards them."

He can't write this letter, because writing it may have the opposite effect.

Shi Shouxin also understood this, and said, "I'll start writing now." He paused and said, "Is it four or five thousand?"

"That's right!" Luo Youdu said, "From the very beginning, I didn't think that they only had 1000 people. This number of people was not enough to grab a ship and attack Luzhou. After the battle in Shuzhou was over, I asked Zhang Xiong to send some people to search around. Traces of other soldiers lurking. He found traces of troops hiding in the north of Taoxi Town. About four or five thousand."

"This number shouldn't be the rout of Guangzhou and Huangzhou who retreated and consolidated. Most likely they came to rescue Shuzhou, but I don't know why they refused to save them."

"However, judging from his desire to attack Luzhou, this person is very capable and courageous. He gave up Luzhou and Shuzhou, and then withdrew to the Dabie Mountains. In all likelihood, he had the idea of ​​Huangzhou, Guangzhou, or Qizhou. "

"That's not the area we're in charge of, and we don't have enough troops to support it. We can only notify you..."

Shi Shouxin laughed and said, "It's only four or five thousand. We really have to make a big fuss to support it. We might even get ridiculed! Qi Zangzhen, I don't know, this Si Chao, I know a thing or two. When I was a soldier in the early years, He followed Liu Zhiyuan in the former Han Dynasty to attack Heyang, and made great achievements. He was in charge of defending Huaihai in the former Han Dynasty, and it was the same in the Taizu period.

Luo Youdu also nodded slightly. What the Great Zhou lacks are civil servants, and there are really many generals who can recruit good fighters. Maybe he was too worried, so he stopped thinking about it, but looked at Shi Shouxin with a smile, and said: "After writing Xin, you take your brothers to the Shuzhou government treasury to receive the military salary, and your share will be arranged first. Then..."

"Brother Hard Work will go to Hezhou again. The fight there is probably already started. I have to make arrangements for the autumn harvest in Shuzhou. This is a major event and cannot be separated from me."

"It takes more work for those who are capable. After much deliberation, only my brother's cavalry battalion can support Hezhou at the fastest speed, and has enough strength to win."

Luo Youdu is now really glad that he didn't choose to kill Shi Shouxin in the first place, this guy is really easy to use.

The cavalry team under him can run and fight, but the donkeys of the production team are not so effective.

It's a model worker!

He sighed distressedly and said, "Oh, thanks to your presence, brother, otherwise this situation would be really hard to deal with."

Luo Youdu wears this top hat.

Shi Shou confidently said, "It's alright, I've had a few chances to show off, and I've long been unhappy in my heart. Boy Cao is also likable, prepare some fine food for me, rest the horse, and leave immediately."

Luo Youdu said sternly: "Don't worry, brother, I have prepared bran and cooked beans for the horse, and they will be full of energy on the road and run like flying."

Before Shi Shouxin arrived, Luo Youdu had arranged for Chang Side to lead part of the imperial camp and two thousand soldiers to Luzhou to prepare for any unexpected events.

As long as Hezhou is not lost, Huainan Middle Road will be as stable as a rock.
