Aspiring to the Ten Kingdoms

Chapter 216

Luo Youdu seemed to have said this, but also seemed to have said nothing.

But Shu Yuan understood, and with a happy expression on his face, he said: "Shu Yuan thanked the commander for his guidance, and hoped that the leader of the commander would follow suit."

For Shu Yuan's arrival, Luo Youdu was extremely happy from the bottom of his heart.

Under Guo Rong's special arrangement, the military of the Great Zhou was presented in the form of a tripartite confrontation.

If the Wei, Shu and Wu families are divided, Li Chongjin belongs to the Great Wei, with a deep foundation and the most powerful bodyguard division, and the third division is the strongest.

Zhang Yongde is Sun Wu, and he is also the strength of a time-honored brand. Dianqiansi is the strongest combat force in Dazhou.

Luo Youdu is Liu Shu who has just established a team. Although he has a strong team, his foundation is actually weaker.

Not to mention Li Chongjin and Zhang Yongde, he is not as good as the fourth brother Zhao Kuangyin in this respect.

Zhao Kuangyin has the network resources of several generations of the old Zhao family for decades.

Don't look at Zhao Kuangyin's desperation and embarrassment because of Wang Yansheng's incident.

That's because the disaster is not as good as himself. Once something happens to Zhao Kuangyin, these network resources will play a pivotal role.

Luo Youdu gained a firm foothold in the military by virtue of his generosity and charisma, as well as his amazing performance in the Battle of Huainan, and was recognized by most people.

But there is still a difference between closeness and closeness. Accepting and convincing does not mean that he is on his side.

Over the years, Luo Youdu has been constantly running his own circle, and Luo Youdu has also attracted Han Lingkun, Shi Shouxin, Gao Huaide and others, but his core members are still rising stars with unlimited potential, such as Pan Mei and Cao Bin.

Unlimited potential refers to the future, not the present.

Pan Mei and Cao Bin are much more famous than Han Lingkun and Shi Shouxin.

But now if they really want to fight one-on-one, Pan Mei and Cao Bin may not be able to beat Han Lingkun and Shi Shouxin.

Han and Shi, who are at their peak, have many years of combat experience enough to feed Pan Mei and Cao Bin.

At present, Luo Youdu urgently needs some experienced backbones who can play and fight.

But it is clear that most of the backbones of Da Zhou are close friends and subordinates of Li Chongjin, Zhang Yongde or Zhao Kuangyin.

In the absence of exceptional opportunities, it is difficult to prize them over.

Zhu Yuan, Lin Renzhao, and Guo Ting said that this group of surrendered generals who were able to fight and fight in the Southern Tang Dynasty was Luo Youdu's goal.

Lin Renzhao is now training the navy in the Huaihe River, and the captured general is equal to him.

Zhu Yuan and Guo Tingzhi have never been able to find an opportunity to cut in.

Meng Lang's post in the past to buy the hearts of foreign generals was too pretentious, and it didn't have a good influence.

He could cheat Zhao Kuangyin calmly, maybe the other party also prepared a trick.

If it reaches Guo Rong's ears, the loss outweighs the gain.

Now that Shu Yuan posted it himself, even if Guo Rong knew about it, it would be a matter of course.

With Luo Youdu's status, if he doesn't accept a little brother who can fight, how can he check and balance Li Chongjin and Zhang Yongde, two old fritters?
Luo Youdu hid his thoughts.

It is a different concept to beg and be begged.

What Luo Youdu wanted was this kindness of support and knowledge, and he said calmly: "They all work for Da Zhou, why should they be separated from each other? They are both for the same goal, and it is also necessary to help each other. You and Guo Tingwei still have contacts. ?”

Shu Yuan said truthfully: "I have never had any contact with him, but I had a good relationship with him when we were in the south of the Yangtze River, so I can introduce him or her to the commanding army."

There is no doubt about the ability of these generals, but their status is very embarrassing.

What the Great Zhou lacked were civil servants, not generals.

Originally, there was more porridge and less meat, so let outsiders get a share?

Isn't that not enough to eat?

Coupled with the Battle of Huainan, the Zhou army more or less suffered at the hands of Shu Yuan, Lin Renzhao, and Guo Tingzhi.

There were four generals who died at the hands of Shu Yuan. Lin Renzhao used the Southern Tang Navy to force Zhang Yongde to scold his mother.

This gathering in one place is inevitable.

So in history, whether it was the Great Zhou or the Great Song, Shu Yuan and Guo Ting said that these generals who could fight were not reused.

The pinnacle of their lives was the Battle of Huainan.

Shu Yuan and Guo Tingzhi must also know this.

Guo Ting said that he is respectful by nature, and will work hard to wait for the opportunity.

Shu Yuan was unwilling to wait.

Compared with old-school powers like Li Chongjin and Zhang Yongde, Shu Yuan knew that Luo Youdu's new rising power would be the best one to integrate into.

Luo Youdu said: "There is no need to communicate deliberately, just let nature take its course. After all, you are working together, the relationship between you should not be too rigid."

Guo Ting said that he is not in a hurry to subdue this kind of people, as long as he is given a chance, he will gather himself.

Shu Yuan is different.

In Luo Youdu's eyes, this guy is a hungry wolf, he must be trapped with a harness, and he must be fed, but he cannot be fed at the same time.If you don't feed him, he will go for food by himself. If you feed him, he will either lack motivation or have a big appetite.

This kind of person has to be held in the palm of your hand. After making meritorious service in the future, the first thing to do is to enroll him in the Imperial Army Division.

Otherwise, it is very likely to run away with someone.

It's normal for the subordinates to have small thoughts.

Everyone has a different personality, and it is impossible to expect everyone to be as obedient as Bai Qi.Let him kill people, lay down millions of corpses, don't want him, in a word, wipe his neck directly, clean and tidy.

How people like Shu Yuan use them, how they check and balance, depends on the methods of the superiors.

Luo Youdu is still confident that he can be restrained.

Shu Yuan was even more excited when he saw that Luo Youdu was worried that he would not get along well with Guo Tingzhi, which would affect the internal harmony. Don't worry, the final general will never fail to command the army's expectations."

There was a gleam in his eyes, and he was already fantasizing about his bright future.

Luo Youdu smiled when he saw this, he still admired Shu Yuan's drive.

As long as you have the ability, you can convert the momentum into corresponding combat achievements.

After sending Shu Yuan away, Luo Youdu was in a happy mood. Being able to absorb Shu Yuan and Guo Tingwei into his camp would undoubtedly increase his strength by a notch.

Shu Yuan's residence is not far from Qi County, and it takes only a day's effort to ride a fast horse.

Back in Caizhou, Shu Yuan immediately wrote a letter to Guo Tingwei.

The content of the letter is roughly an exchange of heartfelt meanings, which mainly explain their own difficulties, not because they are unrighteous, but because Jiangnan Li Jing and Chen Jue are too stupid.

As for the news of the meeting with Luo Youdu, he didn't mention a word.

Shu Yuan would not be kind enough to tell Guo Ting that their future is settled.

Tell him in advance, wouldn't there be one more person competing for favor with him?

Shu Yuan has always been selfish, so he would not do such a stupid thing.

But what Luo Youdu told him had to be done seriously, after all, his future depended on him.

If you don't listen to him, who will you listen to?
Is it possible to listen to the high-ranking Emperor Guo?

What benefit did he give himself?
Shu Yuan's character is a typical general of the Five Dynasties, and there is no emperor in his heart at all.

Whoever treats him well, whoever gives him the opportunity to make contributions, he will hang out with whoever.

Let him do whatever he wants.

Guo Tingwei, who got the letter, looked at the disgusting words in Shu Yuan's letter strangely, smiled and handed it to his younger brother Guo Tingzan.

Guo Tingzan said with a bit of exasperation: "Zhu Yuan, the thief, still has the nerve to defend himself?"

Guo Tingwei glanced at his aggrieved younger brother and said, "Brother, I am also a thief!"

"No!" Guo Tingzan hurriedly said: "Brother is different, you were captured by Zhou Bing first, and you were forced to."

Guo Tingwei shook his head and said: "Is there any need? The unification of the world is irresistible. It is enough for my brother to ask himself that he is not ashamed of Jiangnan. This Zhu Yuan is also not ashamed of Jiangnan. I will stop talking about the two thieves in the future. It's just Zhu Yuan. Personality, I will never write this letter to me rashly, there must be another reason. You said that in today's temple, who can give Zhu Yuan what he wants?"

Guo Tingzan was startled and said, "It's just those three."

Guo Ting said with a smile: "It's one. As a brother, he was captured by his subordinates. That's fine, the lintel of Guo's family has long been dimmed, and it's time to wipe it off. Even if you can't do what Grandfather did, At least not like today."

In fact, Shu Yuan's letter to Guo Ting was superfluous.

Because Lin Renzhao was training in the Huaihe River, it was only an hour away from Bozhou where Guo Tingzhi was.

The relationship between Lin Renzhao and Guo Tingzhi is much closer than that of Shu Yuan, and they communicate with each other from time to time.

Lin Renzhao admired Luo Youdu very much, and Guo Tingzhi also saw and acted clearly. Compared with the xenophobic Li Chongjin and Zhang Yongde, Luo Youdu's subordinates were undoubtedly the best.

Huaihe Naval Barracks.

Commander Jiao Jixun of the Great Zhou Navy entertained Lin Renzhao for a drink.

Jiao Jixun raised his wine glass and said, "There are only three heroes in this world."

Lin Renzhao raised his glass and said, "This subordinate would like to hear more about it."

Jiao Jixun said: "Firstly, Zhao Kuangyin, the commander in front of the hall, is unparalleled in the world with a pistol and a club. In the world, anyone who can catch his three moves without dying is a first-class master. Commander Gao Huaide, with a white horse and a silver spear, is invincible. The third is Lin Xiandi, who goes up and down the mountain as if walking on flat ground, and is omnipotent on horseback and archery. I think it is hard for anyone to compare with you as a hero in the world."

Lin Renzhao's eyebrows danced brightly, he raised his glass and said, "I am so ashamed to be loved by the superior, I am ashamed not to be worthy."

Had a few drinks.

Jiao Jixun asked: "Brother Lin Xian is in his late thirties, why hasn't he married yet?"

Lin Renzhao sighed, "The late wife has been dead for three years and never remarried."

Jiao Jixun frowned and said: "How can a man be without a wife? If you don't think about yourself, you have to think about carrying on the lineage of the Lin family."

Lin Renzhao suddenly smirked and said, "Actually, my subordinate already has someone in mind, but I'm worried that she thinks I have bad breath, so I dare not tell."

Jiao Jixun was dumbfounded for a moment, unable to utter the words that came to his mouth.

Jiao Jixun has a very good relationship with Zhao Kuangyin, this time he was entrusted by Zhao Kuangyin to marry his sister.I thought it would be a matter of course, but I didn't want to have another favorite person, so I said awkwardly: "I don't know which girl has such luck, and is favored by my virtuous brother."

Lin Renzhao said: "The Guo family's younger sister is the younger sister of Guo Tingzhi, the defense envoy of Bozhou!"

In fact, Lin Renzhao didn't know if Guo Ting said he had a younger sister. No matter what, even if he didn't have one now, he had to get one.

Jiao Jixun couldn't continue to sell.

Guo Ting said that he may not be as powerful as Zhao Kuangyin, but he is a descendant of Guo Ziyi. When it comes to lintels, the Zhao family can't compare to the Guo family.
