Aspiring to the Ten Kingdoms

Chapter 215 Zhu Yuan's Visit
Only mentioning the name Zhang Qixian, Luo Youdu couldn't remember so much.

But looking at his idiot appearance, he immediately remembered the deeds of the idiot prime minister Zhang Qixian.

Zhang Qixian grew up in a poor family, but he was born with a big heart and a fat body, and he had a big appetite. It is said in history that he has a "big physique and a good diet".

When I was young, whenever there were weddings and funerals in other families, I would join in to play the autumn breeze, and I never had enough food until I made a fortune.

It is said that after becoming rich, some people wonder how much he eats.So as much as he ate, the servants poured out as much, and then a big bucket was full.

The most interesting thing is that he can eat anything and dare to eat anything.

In Bianjing, Kaifeng, there is a kind of wind medicine, Heishen Pill, which is very effective in dispelling wind, activating blood circulation and dredging meridians.Every time a normal person takes a small pill, Zhang Qixian accidentally took it and thought it tasted good, so he made five or seven taels of pills and ate them in sesame seed cakes every day.

Maybe it's because he has developed the ability to be invulnerable to all kinds of poisons. This guy has been appointed nine ministers in two governments for four times, and died of no illness at the last age.

But don't look at this kid's rich face, claiming that he is harmless to humans and animals.

But when it's ruthless, it's really ruthless.

In the third year of Yongxi's reign, the Song army was defeated, the fierce general Yang Ye died in battle, and the generals of the Song army suffered serious losses.

Zhang Qixian invited himself to guard the border, creating a precedent for civil servants to guard the border.

The Liao soldiers approached the city, and Ma Zheng, the captain of the Shenwei, led his troops to line up outside the south gate. They were outnumbered, and Lu Hanyun, the second-in-command, was frightened and defended the camp.

Zhang Qixian was so angry that he directly ordered two thousand laborers to go to the regular army of the Liao Kingdom.As a scholar, with a fat body and strong arms, relying on the courage of blood, he desperately repelled more than ten thousand Liao soldiers.Later, he also captured the son of the Northern King of the Liao Army, relics in front of the tent, killed hundreds of enemies, and captured [-] horses.

In the Song Dynasty, there were many literati commanding troops, and there were also many commanding the army to win, but there were not many people like him, who rushed to the front line to kill the enemy.

The prime minister of the idiot is a derogatory term that can be used on others, but it is a great compliment to Qi Xian.

It's a pity that he is too young to use it now, and can only be used as an investment.

"belch!"

Zhang Qixian hiccupped and said, "Thank you, Mr. Xiang, for the meal. This is the first time the students are full."

Luo Youdu secretly said in his heart: "You are full, my wife and I are still hungry!" He smiled and said: "Finally understand what it means to be able to hold a big belly, just rely on your courage and appetite. You can come to my house to collect the tuition for studying in Beijing on a monthly basis. I hope you will succeed in your studies and serve the country."

When he said this, it actually hurt a little.

If it weren't for Zhang Qixian, a good-for-nothing prime minister, who has performed outstandingly in history, this deal would have been a loss no matter how you look at it.

Zhang Qixian got up in a hurry, with a strange look in his eyes, the circles of his eyes were a little red, and he could finally read with a full stomach.

It is miserable to say that it is the disease of the rich, but it is the life of the poor.

Zhang Qixian is talented and intelligent, but this natural stomach keeps him in a state of hunger all day long, making it difficult for him to calm down and study.

It was hard to get a lot of money from the bandits, and I didn't want to be caught.

Kou Xiangming Chaqiu did not convict him of any crime, but the stolen goods were confiscated.

I am worried and don't know what to do.

I don't want Luo Youdu to be so fancy.

Zhang Qixian bowed three times respectfully, and said: "Thank you for your kindness and virtue, the students must remember it in their hearts, and dare not forget it."

"It doesn't matter!" Luo Youdu felt the taste of being full for the first time, and was quite surprised. He asked Quan Xu to report to the Imperial Army Division, and told Zhang Qixian to work hard by the way.

Luo Youdu returned to the inner house and told Fu Qing'er that they had to eat later.

Fu Qing'er clicked her tongue and said: "That Zhang Qixian, did he really eat the food of more than [-] people in our inner house?"

Although Fengzhu and the others are women, the Eighteen Knights have practiced martial arts since childhood, and their appetites are no less than normal men.

Luo Youdu also had to sigh in admiration: "It's also an eye-opener for a husband, let alone Huyanzan eats a lot in the future. Compared with this Qi Xian, what is he?"

Because of Wang Yansheng's case, Zhao Kuangyin's reputation has been greatly affected, and he is much more honest.

Perhaps because Wang Yansheng was scared, Zhao Kuangyin not only strengthened the military discipline of the Dianqian Division, but also seriously advised relatives and friends who harbored the bad habits of the times, so as to be a law-abiding great Zhou Liangmin.

Guo Rong specially praised him for this.

Luo Youdu was secretly amused, and tricked his teammates twice in a row.

Zhao Kuangyin was bitten by a snake once and was afraid of well ropes for ten years.

Things are over here, and Da Zhou has entered the rhythm of recuperation.

It is no longer possible to expand the size of the former military department and the bodyguard department, and the changes are limited to internal adjustments.

Luo Youdu's imperial camp division has expanded by another 5000 people, and now there are a total of [-] people, which are allocated to the six armies.

There won't be much change in the short term.

The only change is the horse administration of Da Zhou.

The imperial court strengthened contacts with the Dingnan Army, Ganzhou Uighur Army, and Guiyi Army, and increased orders for the purchase of military horses.

But Guo Rong's main focus is on administration.

Start to eliminate the bad administrative habits of the Five Dynasties little by little.

But all of this has nothing to do with Luo Youdu, Luo Youdu has now completely transferred to the military.

Luo Youdu cannot meddle in government affairs at will unless Guo Rong asks.

Luo Youdu was still in Bianjing, and the barracks of the Imperial Camp Division ran on both sides, half each month.

But when he stayed in the imperial camp, he lived in his own manor in Qi County.

Luo Youdu and Fu Qing'er are intimately married, and they are reluctant to separate, they go together.

On this day, Luo Youdu's manor welcomed an unexpected visitor.

"Shu Yuan met Luo Tongjun, and regretted that he didn't have the opportunity to get to know him when he was in Shouzhou. Knowing that Tongjun is here, I came here to see him."

A handsome, well-mannered middle-aged man saluted Luo Youdu respectfully.

"You are? Zhu Yuan?"

Luo Youdu frowned and looked at the middle-aged man in front of him. If he remembers correctly, he was the one who set off a counterattack in the Southern Tang Dynasty, repeatedly defeated the Zhou army, and caused Guo Rong a big headache. Then he decisively led the crowd to surrender because of Chen Jue's frame Great Zhou, Zhu Yuan who established the victory of the Great Zhou.

It's just that he called himself Shu Yuan, which made Luo Youdu doubt his memory all of a sudden.

Shu Yuan hurriedly explained: "I am indeed Zhu Yuan, but now I am called Shu Yuan. Zhu Yuan's original surname was Shu. He was adopted by his adoptive father and changed his surname to Zhu. This time, he returned to Dazhou and decided to abandon the past and change his surname back to Shu. .”

It turns out that after Zhu Yuan cast Zhou in Zijin Mountain, instead of blaming Chen Jue, Li Jing attributed all the responsibility to Zhu Yuan and executed his wife and children.

Zhu Yuan felt guilty in his heart, and changed his surname unwilling to face the reality.

But the surname has changed, but the nature has not changed.

Shu Yuan was brave and good at fighting. Guo Rong loved his bravery and appointed him as the training envoy of the Caizhou regiment.

This position is not big or small, but the position is awkward.

Caizhou is located in the north of Huaihe River, east of Tongbai Mountain, and south of the upper reaches of Honghe River. It was called Runan in ancient times and is located in the center of Dazhou.

Here in the future, no matter whether Da Zhou goes south or north, he will not be able to reach the edge.

The military and political system of Dazhou has been very clear.

The Dianqian Division, the Guards Division, the Imperial Camp Division, the main force of the iron fight, and the teeth soldiers of the feudal towns, except for a few border towns that still retain their combat effectiveness, the rest are no longer able to compete with the Sansi Imperial Army.

In the future, when the Great Zhou sent troops, it must be the Sansi Imperial Army as the main force, and then the Jiedu Envoy Yabing near the conquest site would be the auxiliary.

Whether it is fighting Jiangnan, Wuping, Shu, Northern Han, or even Khitan, it is impossible to mobilize the soldiers and horses of Caizhou.

As a training envoy of the Caizhou Regiment, it was no accident that the soldiers in his hands could only deal with possible thieves, but could not really go to the battlefield.

What is the difference between a manly man and a fat pig in a pigsty if he does not make contributions?
Shu Yuan didn't want to die of old age to take up the post, so he found Luo Youdu specially, and brought a heavy bow to meet him.

Luo Youdu listened to the explanation and said, "So that's how it is!"

Then I turned around a cart of gifts brought by Shu Yuan in a carriage, and my eyes fell on a roll of ancient books. I reached out and took it. I took a closer look. Calculate".

Luo Youdu said: "I accept this! You can take the rest back!"

Shu Yuan said anxiously: "Luo Tongjun, these are some kind of intentions."

Luo Youdu said with a smile: "For exchanges between friends, this small gift is enough."

Shu Yuan was overjoyed: "The last general is terrified, I'm afraid he won't be worthy of commanding the army."

Luo Youdu led Shu Yuan into the house, and said as he walked, "But I admire Brother Shu very much. With my own power, I stirred up the situation and almost turned the tide."

Shu Yuan performed very well in the battle of Huainan, but in the battle of Huainan in history, Shu Yuan's performance was even more wonderful.

With [-] soldiers and horses in his hands, Shu Yuan overwhelmed Li Chongjin's bodyguard and pro-military commander, and directly broke the siege of Shouzhou.The soldiers and horses that surrounded Shouzhou by Li Chongjin were driven to the north of Shouzhou City.

It is also because of this that in history Zhang Yongde suspected that Li Chongjin was collaborating with the enemy, and even scolded Li Chongjin for conspiracy after drinking.

It's not that Li Chongjin has a conspiracy, it's that Shu Yuan is really not afraid of death in order to make contributions, and he is really ruthless in attacking.

Shu Yuan couldn't help but sigh.

The two sat down.

Shu Yuan said: "Will the command army look down on the last general because he joined the enemy before the battle?"

Luo Youdu shook his head and said: "It's not surprising that there is a monarch like Li Jing. I can understand Brother Shu's mood. I can be sure that Brother Shu was the biggest soldier in our army before he was persecuted by Chen Jue. Formidable enemy, not fake."

After Li Jing of the Southern Tang Dynasty went to the title of emperor, he was already a courtier of the Great Zhou in name.

Zhou Taizu Guo Wei's great-grandfather was named Guo Jing, so Li Jing changed his name to Li Jing to avoid taboo.

Shu Yuan was touched and said: "The commander knows me! As a man, the last general has the heart to pursue meritorious service, but he also knows the word loyalty in his heart, and he is definitely not a villain who only cares about profit. Li Jing... just don't say it!"

"The officials don't dislike the young general. They should be satisfied with the appointment of the young general as a training envoy for the Caizhou regiment. It's just that the young general thinks that his ability is not inferior to others, and he doesn't want to waste his life, even if he is shrouded in horse leather. He only wants to find someone to prove himself Opportunity."

Luo Youdu smiled and said: "Brother Shu's heart is touching. The officials have appointed you as a regiment training envoy, but still let you command the soldiers of a state. Naturally, there is no deep meaning. Go back and train well, there is room for you. "
