Aspiring to the Ten Kingdoms

Chapter 153
Five miles west of Luzhou City.

Zhao Kuangyin sat on the horse with a little fatigue, looked at the surrounding soldiers who were lying on the ground, and couldn't help but said: "It's all my fault that I fell into such a situation."

Zhao Kuangyi said reluctantly from the side: "In order to deal with elder brother, Li Jingda mobilized many soldiers and horses on Huaixi East Road to encircle him from multiple sides. The strength is too disparate. This is not a crime of war. No one can do better than elder brother. Why do you need to blame yourself, brother?"

Zhao Kuangyin shook his head and said: "In this battle, I really underestimated the enemy first and dragged my brothers down."

As he fought all the way, the Southern Tang army was like a mustard, and even ran to the city of Yangzhou to show off their might with a lone army, and Yangzhou was so frightened that they stayed behind and closed the city gates, not daring to come out.

You must know that in the Southern Tang Dynasty, Yangzhou used Jinling as the western capital and Yangzhou as the eastern capital.

Faced with such humiliation, Nan Tang still did not dare to fight, it was really difficult for people not to despise him.

Zhao Kuangyin dared to use [-] soldiers to stop Li Jingda's [-] soldiers from the Southern Tang Dynasty in Hengshan and Dayi Town, because he unconsciously started to underestimate the enemy.

Zhao Kuangyi said angrily: "It's all the fault of Dou Yi and Zhao Pu. Even if they can't defend the city, it's good to let them know. As long as we are prepared, Guo Tingzhi is my opponent? We still have food and supplies. , and would not come here to ask for help.”

Compared with Zhao Kuangyin's responsibility, Zhao Kuangyi obviously prefers to throw the pot away.

"I don't know if he is willing to borrow food!" Zhao Kuangyi muttered anxiously.

Zhao Kuangyin couldn't be sure either.

I have always been forthright and friendly in my life, love to make friends, and love to make friends.When I brought Zhao Kuangyi to thank Luo Youdu, I also wanted to make him a friend.

But as Luo Youdu was promoted step by step and his talent was revealed little by little, Zhao Kuangyin found that he couldn't think of making friends with him.

What is the reason, Zhao Kuangyin also asked himself.

Obviously I don't hate him, obviously I appreciate his talent and courage, agree with his strength, and even have sympathy for him, but I just don't like him instinctively.

I don't know why, that feeling is indescribable.

It was as if the two were born to be hostile.

Especially when he heard that his good brothers Han Lingkun, Shi Shouxin, and Gao Huaide, whom he had a crush on, were all inseparable with Luo Youdu, he felt that something that belonged to him was taken away by others.

Zhao Kuangyin's roughness has subtleties, and he seems to act rough and crazy, but he has a certain degree of certainty, but Luo Youdu is not sure about it.

In the distance, two black shadows galloped towards them.

Zhao Kuangyin squinted his eyes, and set up an awning to see who came: Luo Youdu and Shi Shouxin.

Zhao Kuangyin informed Zhao Kuangyi and greeted him together.

"elder brother!"

Shi Shouxin rushed forward anxiously, grabbed Zhao Kuangyin's arm with both hands, looked him up and down, and looked for any injuries on his body.

A warm feeling surged in Zhao Kuangyin's heart, he punched him, and said, "Okay, you don't know what skills I have? Few in this world can hurt me."

When he said this, Luo Youdu was walking into his sight with a smile that made people feel like a spring breeze.

"Brother Zhao!"

"Brother Zhao!"

Luo Youdu bowed to Zhao Kuangyin and Zhao Kuangyi respectively.

Zhao Kuangyin smiled and nodded in response.

However, Zhao Kuangyi was touched and thought to himself: If there were no such kicks, we might be able to become friends.

Zhao Kuangyin made friends all over the world, and almost everyone felt that Zhao Kuangyi was Zhao Kuangyin's younger brother, not Zhao Kuangyi himself.

It's like living in the shadow of your own brother.

Just like Shi Shouxin, he didn't take him seriously at all, and only cared about his safety with Zhao Kuangyin.

On the contrary, it was the person he hated who regarded himself as Zhao Kuangyi.

Luo Youdu didn't mention the battle situation, but said: "The sun is so vicious, the two brothers Zhao might as well go to the city to rest together with the soldiers."

Zhao Kuangyin shook his head and said: "Brother Luo kindly accepts it, and the defeated general dares to enjoy it. I just hope that Brother Luo will subsidize some military rations for someone to go back to Shouzhou and plead guilty to the officials."

He was sure that Li Jingda would not come to trouble Luo Youdu.

The key to the battle lies in Shouzhou, and the survival of Shouzhou is directly related to the survival of Huainan.

How much food there is in Shouzhou City, this Zhou Jun has no way of knowing.However, it has been half a year since Li Gu besieged the city.Even if it is an important military area, the food and grass are well prepared, and there will be moments when they run out.

And Daluo Youdu has to eat the three cities of Luzhou, Hezhou, and Shuzhou. How long will it take?
It is safest to skip Luo Youdu, who is already standing on Huainan Middle Road, and directly rescue Shouzhou.

Zhao Kuangyin also has to give in now, compared to his blind pursuit of war for merit.Luo Youdu fought with strategic intentions, obviously superior to himself.

Maybe that's why I'm in the situation I'm in now.

Luo Youdu said without hesitation: "Brother Zhao is too polite, you and I are both serving His Majesty, why should we divide each other? Now that Brother Zhao has made up his mind, then I will not force it. Before I came, I had people prepare food, tents and The medicine for knife wounds and the medicine for relieving summer heat will be delivered together after the quantity is counted."

Zhao Kuangyin was stunned for a while, not knowing how to answer.

After a while, he just bent down that vigorous bear waist, and gave a deep bow with some difficulty.

He was dressed in armor, and bowing so deeply was hundreds and thousands of times harder than ordinary people's bowing.

There was even a cut in the nail plate on the abdomen.

"Kindness without saying thanks!"

Luo Youdu hastily supported Zhao Kuangyin and said, "Brother Zhao, you are welcome."

If Zhao Kuangyin could be killed if he didn't borrow food, Luo Youdu would definitely not borrow it.

But Zhao Kuangyin broke through here, which meant he was out of danger.

Even if he can't get food support, he can solve the food problem by just grabbing a village and town with five thousand soldiers and horses in his hands.

He didn't do this because of military regulations, but when it came to the point of life and death, how could Guo Rong blame his beloved general for this?

He would only point the finger at himself who didn't borrow the rations.

Whether to borrow or not, Zhao Kuangyin is not affected.

On the contrary, he would be given the name of not helping the friendly army.

Since this is the case, why not be generous and prepare everything for him.

There is a lot of food, camp tents, and wound medicines, and he fully shows his bearing, so that the world can see his kindness and friendship to the Zhao brothers.

Luo Youdu didn't care whether the Zhao Family Brotherhood would appreciate it or not.

It is enough for the world to know.

In the future, no one will doubt Zhao brothers if something bad happens to them.

Zhao Kuangyin left, took the food, tents, medicine for knife wounds, and summer heat medicine that Luo Youdu had prepared for him, and left Luzhou to the north.

Shi Shouxin watched Zhao Kuangyin leave, and said, "Brother Luo, it's really interesting. I didn't make friends with you, Old Shi, in vain."

Luo Youdu smiled and said, "I'm not familiar with Brother Zhao, but Brother Zhao is my brother's brother, and my brother's brother is my brother. What are these supplies?"

Shi Shouxin immediately felt proud of himself, and felt that his life was worth it!
