Aspiring to the Ten Kingdoms

Chapter 314 Retreat
As soon as Zhang Yongde boarded the building boat, he said, "Luo Tongjun, hurry back to the camp, Zhao Kuangyin has already falsely accused you of colluding with Han Tong, intending to kill the king and seize the throne, and led the Dianqian commander to the Yellow River army camp."

Zhang Yongde is at home at home, enjoying himself.But being stimulated by Li Zhongjin, the state of mind he had cultivated was completely broken.

For several days, Zhang Yongde's mind was full of the phrase "stupid like you, appearance like you".

I was almost stunned, and I didn't dare to eat meat for several days, feeling sick.

Zhang Yongde was already a bit petty, and the more he thought about it, the more angry he became, so he had to teach Zhao Kuangyin a lesson.

Zhang Yongde was the first chief of the Dianqian Division. Even after leaving the Dianqian Division, he still has his own group of hardcore members.

Zhang Yongde didn't want to do anything to Zhao Kuangyin, but let his confidant look at Zhao Kuangyin a little bit, and find a chance to vent his anger.

As a result, I got this shocking news.

Zhang Yongde panicked at the time, hating himself for being nosy, for a while he didn't know what to do, and he didn't even know whether what Zhao Kuangyin said was true or not.

After sending people to stroll around the imperial city, they realized that Zhao Kuangyin was deceiving the soldiers in the barracks.

He wanted to send someone to notify Luo Youdu to make him take precautions, but he had no idea where Luo Youdu was stationed.

His previous news about Luo Youdu still existed in the siege of Jizhou City.

It wasn't until Luo Youdu's people came to invite him that Zhang Yongde knew that he had actually arrived in Bianjing.

In this desperation, Zhang Yongde galloped his horse and rushed all the way to Lishan Water Gate.

Zhao Pu and Zhang Jin looked at Luo Youdu with some respect.

Seeing that Luo Youdu was not panicked, Zhang Yongde thought he didn't believe him, so he hurriedly said, "The source of the news is absolutely reliable."

Seeing his misunderstanding, Luo Youdu explained: "Not long ago, I sent Hu Yanzan to the barracks, and asked Pan Mei and Cao Bin to take precautions."

Zhang Yongde was stunned, and sighed in admiration: "The commander of the army has a wonderful plan, but I am unnecessary."

Luo Youdu stepped forward and pulled Zhang Yongde and said: "The son-in-law is so unnecessary. This is a great help. Before the son-in-law came, everything I did was guesswork. I only knew one or two things about the current situation. The son-in-law came , brought the most accurate news, based on this news, I was able to make the most correct decision, and I was able to avoid fighting in the same room as much as possible, which is a remarkable achievement."

Zhang Yongde had a good face, and when Luo Youdu said this, he immediately smiled.

Luo Youdu immediately said: "Renzhao, leave me [-] soldiers, and you will take all the rest. Now immediately lead the navy to go north, deploy defenses along the Bian River, and never allow Zhao Kuangyin to cross the Bian River. In addition, you send dozens of people Going out of Biankou to the Yellow River, I demolished all the pontoon bridges in the lower reaches of the Yellow River."

Zhang Yongde is also a veteran, instantly understood what Luo Youdu meant, and said, "Do you think he might run away?"

"It's not possible, it's certain!" Luo Youdu resolutely said, "Zhao Kuangyin has the arrogance to fight to the death, but he is not a fool who knows that he will fight to the death. No matter how powerful the Dianqian is, it is impossible to easily defeat my [-] to [-] troops. What's more, there are brave fighters in the army."

"He put all his eggs in one basket. The bet is that we are undefended and defenseless, and give them an opportunity. As long as he finds that we are on defense, he will react immediately. We already know everything, and it would be foolish to force an attack."

"Instead of fighting to the end, it's better to lead the soldiers to join the Northern Han Dynasty and fight for a chance to make a comeback."

When Luo Youdu said this, he also sweated for himself.

If Zhao Kuangyin didn't make so many bells and whistles, he would go directly to the military camp in front of the palace to do this.

I am afraid that I will fall into the opponent's hands.

In order to arrive at Bianjing one day earlier, they crossed the Yellow River overnight.

This is in the heart of my family, the camps and patrols have not slackened, but they have not spent any time to set up camps and build fortifications.

In that case, meeting Zhao Kuangyin, an unrivaled general who is good at fighting in the field, is no different from a sieve.

Zhang Yongde thought about Zhao Kuangyin's character for a moment, and there really was some truth in it, so he stopped talking.

Luo Youdu ordered again to have Fan Zhi, Wei Renpu, Xiang Xun, Zhang Mei, Li Jixun, Wang Shenqi, Shi Shouxin, Han Chongyun and other generals be invited.

The reason for adding a standard is to deliberately reveal the established fact that he has rebelled in front of others.

The first to arrive was Wang Pu, followed by Wei Renpu, Xiang Xun, Shi Shouxin, and Han Chongyun.

These people have a good relationship with Luo Youdu, and they all have a certain degree of confidence in him.

As for Zhang Mei and Li Jixun, it's not surprising that they didn't show up.

In this kind of situation where there is no distinction between the enemy and the enemy, it is the best choice to stand still.

Especially Li Jixun is one of the Yishe brothers.

Wang Pu, Wei Renpu, Xiang Xun, Shi Shouxin, and Han Chongyun listened to the reason.

Wang Pu remained silent, never expecting such a big change in the situation.

Wei Renpu cursed loudly. He had a strong personality and hated ministers who betrayed the Lord the most.

He scolded Zhao Kuangyin a lot in history...

Xiang Xun just sighed slightly, didn't say anything, and took it easy.

Shi Shouxin and Han Chongyun had the most complicated expressions. They were brothers of the Yishe with Zhao Kuangyin. Although there was some friction and estrangement, they still missed each other's friendship.

If the words hadn't come from Luo Youdu and Zhang Yongde, they would never have accepted this reality.

Luo Youdu looked at Wang Pu and Wei Renpu, and said: "The two gentlemen must have understood what happened. Next, a certain person needs to mobilize all the powers of the forbidden army to deal with Zhao Kuangyin's rebellion."

Wang Pu will not hesitate.

Wei Renpu even said: "Be sure to capture and kill the leader of the bandit, and tell the world."

Luo Youdu didn't respond, and said to Zhang Yongde: "My son-in-law, the front division, the imperial camp division, and the guards' division are the three divisions, and there may be conflicts at ordinary times. But after all, on the battlefield, you are the brother Paoze who is trustworthy and entrusted to your back. I really can't bear to attack my brother...I will set up a circle and surround Zhao Kuangyin. I don't know if the son-in-law can take the risk of telling the truth to the former minister of the palace so that they don't want to be with the traitors. This move will be risky , I can only try my best to ensure the safety of the consort."

Zhao Kuangyin is the general of tigers and bears, unparalleled in the world, he has [-] strong troops in his hands, if he really wants to break through with all his heart, it will be extremely difficult to kill him.

Moreover, Zhao Kuangyin is very popular in the army, even in this situation, Luo Youdu is not sure whether they will release water during the pursuit.

Such as Zhang Yongde, Han Lingkun, Shi Shouxin, Han Chongyun and even Gao Huaide.

You can't fight hard, you can only divide and outsmart.

Luo Youdu knew very well how powerful Zhao Kuangyin was, and no matter what, he didn't intend to leave him a way out and add another rival to himself.

Without a moment's hesitation, Zhang Yongde said, "I also don't want to see my roommate fight each other."

Shi Shoudao: "I'll go too!"

Han Chongyun has always followed his elder brother's example, and said, "Count me in!"

Luo Youdu nodded to them, and then said to Han Tong who had already returned: "Marshal, you immediately use the order to dispatch the soldiers and horses of the guards' pro-military division to Chenqiaoyi, and set up defenses along Caozhou."

Han Tong: "I'll go right away!"

Luo Youdu looked at Xiang Xun and said, "Teacher Xiang, you are the great general Yuan Cong, please calm down the emotions of the generals in Beijing and explain your relationship with them. Now the empress is trapped in the hands of thieves and rushing to attack the imperial city. It hurt the lives of the emperor and empress. If someone can persuade the generals in the city to open the door, they will be rewarded in the world. As for the generals in the imperial city, those who are above the fourth rank can intercede for his majesty and the queen, and those below the fourth rank, The Marquis will reward you a lot."

Luo Youdu did not explain the rescue of Empress Fu and several princes.

Fu Yanqing went to Beijing with his armor without obeying the edict, and he was guilty of conspiracy.

Moreover, Luo Youdu believes that even Wei Renpu and Xiang Xun have some doubts in their hearts.

It's just that the current situation is all pointing to Zhao Kuangyin, but if they really want to show that everything is prepared in advance, it will inevitably be self-defeating.

It's Fu Yanqing and the others' business how to lie. They will definitely show up tomorrow, and Luo Youdu will pretend that they don't know anything.

Xiang Xun's eyes lit up, and he understood the brilliance of it, and said with a smile, "Let's go now."

From the beginning to the present, Luo Youdu is in charge of everything.

He didn't consult anyone's opinions, and he gave orders throughout the process.

But no one from Wang Pu and Wei Renpu, down to Shi Shouxin and Han Chongyun felt that there was any problem.

**********
The Dazhou military camp on the south bank of the Yellow River.

After receiving the order, Cao Bin and Pan Mei acted immediately.

They couldn't find suitable wood at night, so the general's grain carts surrounded the camp, and they dug the ground directly to get soil, covered it on the cart, and used it as an earth wall, and the pits dug in the ground acted as traps...

Both Cao Bin and Pan Mei have the tools of famous generals, and they have accumulated experience and developed naturally in history.

After Luo Youdu's brainwashing of expanding the territory, Cao Bin and Pan Mei are now full of ambition, self-disciplined early, and devoted themselves to learning military affairs, and their abilities are far better than themselves in the same period of history.

In the absence of conditions, the two cooperated with each other and found their own way.

Based on the existing conditions, a simple set of fortifications was built on the ground.

It is three quarters of Yin time, the eve of dawn.

Zhao Kuangyin, Wang Shenqi, and Luo Yanyu prostrated themselves on the ground, looking at the barracks ahead.

Looking at the heavily guarded barracks, Zhao Kuangyin unconsciously clenched his fists and grabbed a handful of dirt.

Luo Yanxuan said: "It seems that the southeast can be attacked."

Wang Shenqi frowned and said, "This is a trap, I left it on purpose."

Zhao Kuangyin pondered for a moment, and said, "I'm going to Beihan, are you going to come with me?"

Luo Yanyu said without hesitation: "The last general swears to follow the commander-in-chief to the death."

Wang Shenqi said: "Let's go together!"

Zhao Kuangyin nodded and said: "Okay, we will go south later, pretending to go to the south of the Yangtze River. Go to the vicinity of Songzhou, go west, and go north along Songshan Mountain. You may encounter guards and military officers on the way. Follow me as much as possible. If they get separated, they will meet up in Beihan."

Luo Yanyu asked in surprise, "Why do you go around?"

Zhao Kuangyin gritted his teeth and said, "Based on what I know about Luo Youdu, he must have arranged a naval force in Bianshui in the west, and the pontoon bridge on the Yellow River will not be left to us, so don't waste time. Han Tong has the ability, but lacks prestige, so he can't do it." Like Luo Youdu, it's like a finger. I didn't arrange the encirclement in the south so quickly, and going south is the only way to survive..."
