Aspiring to the Ten Kingdoms

Chapter 155
"Your Majesty, Commander Luo Du outside the tent is asking to see you!"

Guo Rong, who was thinking about the battle situation in the tent, suddenly got unexpected news.

I have heard a lot about losing battles recently, and in a split second, a thought flashed through my mind: You must also lose if you don’t know how to be young!

Pooh!
Guo Rong couldn't help but spit at himself, and didn't call out, but strode out of the imperial tent.

Seeing Guo Rong coming out in person, Luo Youdu hurriedly bowed to say hello.

"I have seen Your Majesty!"

"No need to be too polite!" Guo Rong laughed, took Luo Youdu's hand and said, "Let's talk about it in detail."

Even though I feel like I'm worrying too much.After entering the account, Guo Rong still couldn't help asking: "Youdu came to see me here, is Luzhou all right?"

Luo Youdu nodded and said: "I have made all the arrangements. Guohua guards Hezhou, Zhongxun guards Shuzhou, Shidu Xiao and Kexiang are respectively in charge of Luzhou's military affairs. I will leave for a while, it will not hinder the matter."

"That's good, that's good!"

Guo Rong was at ease in his heart. Cao Bin and Pan Mei had followed him in the early years, so he naturally knew the potential of the two of them, and said: "The two of them showed a lot of talent back then, and it is my great talent to be able to practice it in your hands." Happy Monday."

As he spoke, he praised, and said: "If everyone in the army is as young as you are, then it will be fine. How can there be today's situation."

The corruption of Huainan East Road and Huainan West Road and General Zhou's underestimation of the enemy, besides the excellent ability of the current general in charge in the Southern Tang Dynasty, the most important thing is that he could not stabilize the people's hearts and fell into the quagmire of the Baijia Army.

Zhu Yuan defeated Si Chao when he was tired of dealing with the white armored soldiers.

Luo Youdu regarded it as deaf, so he didn't continue the topic.

This is taboo.

When Luo Youdu was in business in his later generations, he understood that he should not fight against his boss.

The boss is always right.

Bosses are like this, let alone the emperor?

Even if you didn't listen to you and did the multiple choice questions wrong, that's still right.

Holding the correct answer and squatting in front of the emperor is no different from courting death.

Naturally, Luo Youdu would not do such a thing. He didn't reveal the slightest intention of being superior, and he never mentioned the old things. Instead, he talked about his reason for coming, and said: "Your Majesty, I chatted with Lu Mengjun for a few words today. From his mouth Got something useful out of it..."

Guo Rong was very interested and said, "Speak quickly, sit down and talk."

Luo Youdu asked: "Your Majesty should have heard the news of Wu Yue's defeat!"

Guo Rong nodded and said, "Not only Wu Yue was defeated, but Wang Kui was also defeated."

Luo Youdu was surprised.

Guo Rong said with a wry smile: "Wang Kui was ordered by me to lead the army to attack Ezhou. His subordinates passed by Yuezhou while transporting grain and grass, and asked for bribes from Pan Shusi, the governor of Yuezhou. Pan Shusi disagreed. The generals filed a complaint with Wang Kui, who reprimanded Pan Shusi indiscriminately. Pan Shusi led his troops to attack Wuling while Wang Kui was attacking the Southern Tang Dynasty. After hearing the news, Wang Kui led his troops back and was killed by Pan Shusi. .”

Ok!

Originally, there were three routes to attack Southern Tang, but now Da Zhou is the only route left.

Luo Youdu said helplessly: "Fortunately, we really didn't put our hopes on them." He paused and said, "I learned some interesting things about the Southern Tang's defeat of Changzhou from Lu Mengjun. This time, the Southern Tang can defeat the first place in Changzhou The hero should be Li Hongji, the governor of Xuanzhou Runzhou, the king of Yan, the second hero is the veteran Chai Kehong, and the third is Lu Mengjun. This guy still thinks that he is the number one hero."

"In the face of Wu Yue's advance, some of the soldiers in Lu Mengjun's hands are Yuanzhou's defenders, and some are brave men temporarily recruited from the local area."

"The veteran Chai Kehong has only a group of old and weak soldiers in his hands, and the oldest is even over 50 years old."

"Chai Kehong is very capable. He used these three melons and two dates to command the soldiers of the Southern Tang Dynasty to smash Wuyue. It is said that tens of thousands of heads were chopped off. But this is a legend, and Lu Mengjun lied to his ministers. , they just took 7000 heads, and the remaining [-] people were messed up and sent to various armies. The so-called tens of thousands of heads are fake..."

"As soon as they defeated Wu Yue, Li Jing immediately transferred Lu Mengjun to Jiangbei to join Li Jingda."

Guo Rong understood, and with a burning light in his eyes, he said, "Jiangnan has no soldiers!"

Luo Youdu said solemnly: "There should be no source of troops. Under His Majesty's command, since last November, our army has captured or killed more than [-] Southern Tang soldiers."

"The 5 in Li Jingda's hands now, Zhu Yuan has recruited Li Fu's soldiers in Qizhou, and also has [-] in his hands. These [-] should be the last offensive force in Jiangnan."

"As long as we eat them, the entire Jianghuai will be ours."

"Southern Tang no longer has any force to organize an offensive force, unless the last force to defend Jiangnan is also transferred to Jiangbei. If Li Jing dares to do this, then I will congratulate Your Majesty for taking all of Jiangnan."

Guo Rong clenched his fist and tapped the case lightly: "I understand what you mean. If they want to save Shouzhou, let them come to save them. We will shrink our troops and recharge our batteries. We will fight them decisively under the city of Shouzhou. As long as we win, Jianghuai will be ours. There is no need to attack Shouzhou, as long as they are trapped until they run out of food."

Luo Youdu said: "Your Majesty is wise. But in fact, we don't need to rush to a decisive battle with them, we just wait for them to attack."

"Shouzhou has been surrounded by us for half a year. Although I don't know how much food is left in the city, I don't believe that the remaining food is enough for them to last for a year or so."

"It's not us, it's them who are in a hurry. We just need to guard, and when they get tired from fighting, it will be our chance. We can also take advantage of their attack and spend time training a navy that can compete with them. The navy of the First World War. To prevent them from seeing that the momentum is wrong and fleeing directly by boat."

"Therefore, I implore Your Majesty to return to Bianjing for the time being. Train the sailors in Bianshui, and when the time is right, go south again to determine the overall situation."

Guo Rong looked at Luo Youdu and said with a smile: "Do you think I can't bear the pain of joining the army?"

Luo Youdu hurriedly shook his head and said: "Not at all, your Majesty's next generation of heroes, since he ascended the throne, has shouldered the responsibility of my Great Zhou's civil and military affairs, which is comparable to an extraordinary conservative lord."

"I just feel sorry for Your Majesty. The frontline environment is harsh, and it's scorching hot now. The climate in the Jianghuai River is weird, and there are heavy rains from time to time. Your Majesty has to worry about the military and deal with state affairs. Under such circumstances, it is so hard. , it's really not easy."

Guo Rong's face was a little moved, and he said: "I also want to enjoy it. It's just that if I don't sit here in person, Li Chongjin and Zhang Yongde, the enemies, can't turn the world upside down?"

"I'm a mature man, for the sake of Da Zhou, it doesn't matter if I'm tired."

"However, the matter of training the navy must not be sloppy, and it must be put on the charter as soon as possible!"

"You came at a good time today. I appointed you to be the envoy along the river and the captain of the navy to train the navy in Chaohu Lake."
