Aspiring to the Ten Kingdoms

Chapter 50 Zhao Kuangyi who gave the pillow

"asshole!"

Hearing the rumor that Luo Youdu was Fu Yanqing's future son-in-law, Zhao Kuangyi couldn't help but curse.

"This bastard is my nemesis! Ever since I met him, nothing good has happened to me."

The more beautiful Luo Youdu is, the deeper the feeling of that kick on his buttocks.

Now even the shortcut to promotion that he had planned was preempted by the other party.

One after another, one by one, everything was on his head.

That kind of feeling made the arrogant Zhao Kuangyi feel depressed.

"Kang Yi, let's go, you are on duty today, don't be late."

The sonorous voice of elder brother Zhao Kuangyin came from outside.

Zhao Kuangyi suppressed the depression in his heart, and replied, "Here we come!"

Zhao Kuangyi straightened his clothes and strode out of the house.

The two brothers got on their horses and went to Miyagi together.

Zhao Kuangyin said: "This time our army's westward expedition is just an outpost. The real battle is coming later, so don't worry. Luo Youdu is a civilian, no matter how fast he is promoted, it is useless. These days, it is true to have military power in your hands. .After you have made military achievements and hold the soldiers and horses that control the situation in your hands, how can Luo Youdu compare with you?"

He knew that his younger brother had been dissatisfied with Luo Youdu, so he held his breath in his heart.

It's just that Luo Youdu's promotion is too fast, and he has to be compared with himself, so he can only comfort him softly.

Zhao Kuangyi's eyes lit up, and he said, "Is there really going to be a big war?"

Zhao Kuangyin glanced left and right, and said softly: "Naturally, once Meng Shu is attacked, he will definitely ask for help from Liu Han and Nantang. Liu Han was defeated by our army in the last battle, and there was not much support for the garrison. Luzhou's Zhaoyi Army Jiedu made Li Yun enough to deal with it. The Southern Tang Dynasty is different. They sit on the north and south of the Yangtze River, and their strength is no less than ours. If they move, the officials will definitely go out in person. You and I are both in front of the palace. As a general, you have a lot of opportunities to show yourself in front of the officials. With my younger brother's talent, he will definitely be valued by the officials. What's the difficulty if the favor surpasses Luo Youdu?"

I don't know if it's the dark under the lights, or something else.

Anyway, Zhao Kuangyin felt that his younger brother Zhao Kuangyi was very powerful, even more capable than himself.

Of course, Zhao Kuangyi thought so too.

My elder brother, apart from martial arts, has nothing better than himself.

Gathering up his energy, Zhao Kuangyi murmured in his heart that he must let his subordinates practice the formation he invented, and perform well in the Southern Tang battle.

The two brothers entered Miyagi together.

When the patrolling soldiers on the road saw Zhao Kuangyin, they all became energetic and whispered: "Marquis of Du Yu!" to show their respect.

Envy appeared in Zhao Kuangyi's eyes.

The imperial army system of the Great Zhou Dynasty was mainly divided into two categories, namely the Dianqian Division and the Pro-Army Guard Division.

Among them, the Dianqian Division belongs to the soldiers in front of the emperor's palace, the elite of the elite.As for the guards of the emperor, the army guards are far more numerous than the Dianqian division, but they are also one of the best elites when it comes to strength.

As the deputy chief of the Dianqian Division, Zhao Kuangyin participated in Chai Rong's rectification of the Dianqian Division, and was mainly responsible for military training.

And Zhao Kuangyi acted as the guard in front of the palace, standing guard for the emperor.

The two brothers also parted ways in the palace.

Zhao Kuangyin continued to train soldiers.

And Zhao Kuangyi went to the inner hall to direct the barracks, and arranged more than a hundred soldiers in his hand to patrol and stand guard in each hall.

Before reaching the barracks in the inner hall, Zhao Kuangyi heard voices coming from the barracks.

Frowning, Zhao Kuangyi stepped forward lightly and listened carefully.

Only one person said: "Don't take Judge Luo as an ordinary literati. He is our brother, not a cowardly scholar. He is a man who drinks a lot and eats a lot of meat. He is so bold. Otherwise, you think that a hero like King Wei Will the character write a letter of recommendation for him? And marry his daughter to him?"

Zhao Kuangyi recognized this voice, it was called Zhang Qiong, and his martial arts was the strongest among all the guards under his command.He has always wanted to subdue him and make him the core of his formation, but he is extremely stupid, and he has been trying for a month, and he has not mastered the trick at all.

Hearing Luo Youdu's good words at this moment, a wave of anger welled up in my heart.

"Blow it!" Someone said in disbelief.

"I think so, as long as you are fat and big-eared, even if he is not an ordinary literati, he will not call you brother and brother!"

Zhang Qiong's voice came into my ears again: "Don't you believe it, our eldest brother Zhang Jin is under Judge Luo's command. He will rest another day and bring you to drink at home. We will invite Brother Luo and introduce you to each other."

When Zhao Kuangyi heard this, a stern look flashed in his eyes. If he learned his own formation, wouldn't it mean giving it to Luo Youdu for nothing?

**********
The imperial court is already preparing to send troops to Qinchuan, but there is no clear statement on when to send troops.

After all, going out with a large army is not a game, just move as you say.

It takes time to deploy troops and prepare food, and to recruit and dispatch laborers.

This wait lasted for more than a month, and Luo Youdu took advantage of this time to arrange the affairs of Kaifeng mansion one by one.

It was not until the first ten days of January of the following year that Luo Youdu received the exact date of expedition, which was February [-]st of the second year of Xiande.

February [-]st is a good day to go out.

March and April are the seasons for spring plowing. Sending troops at this moment can just destroy the opponent's spring plowing, and the first batch of servants who withdraw can also catch up with the spring plowing.

Originally, Meng Shu's grain had to be transported from Hanzhong to the front line, and had to pass through the long and narrow Shu Road.Now that they can destroy the opponent's frontline spring plowing, they have a certain advantage in this food before the war begins.

Luo Youdu leisurely looked at the military book "Sun Tzu's Notes" written by Cao Cao.

Compared with the esoteric "Sun Tzu's Art of War", Boss Cao's "Sun Tzu's Notes" is more appetizing to Luo Youdu.

"Sun Tzu's Art of War" is too general, but based on his own experience, Boss Cao summarized the theory of the original text, and attached actual combat cases, geographical environment and other factors for analysis, which made him enjoy it.

"Judge!"

Zhang Jin appeared outside the office.

"Come in!" Luo Youdu looked at Zhang Jin with a bit of grief and indignation, and called him in.

"Pfft!"

Zhang Jin suddenly knelt down in front of Luo Youdu, and said, "I beg you to save my second brother!"

"What's wrong?" Luo Youdu hastily stepped forward to help him up: "Speak slowly, what happened to Zhang Qiong?"

Zhang Jin said indignantly: "I don't know where my second brother offended Zhao Kuangyi. He has been making trouble for my second brother for nearly a month. My second brother has been punished by military law four times in a row. It's getting worse each time. Just yesterday, he suffered For twenty army sticks, his skin was torn apart, and if he went down again, I was really afraid that he would be beaten to death. Our brothers have no relatives in Kaifeng, and the only thing we can ask is you."

Luo Youdu didn't know whether to laugh or not, and said: "If you really want to sleep, someone will give you a pillow. This time, I happen to be short of a confidant with high martial arts skills, so let Zhang Qiong go with me."

Zhang Jin looked happy, then worried: "I'm afraid Zhao Kuangyi won't let him go."

Luo Youdu was not worried at all, and said, "I'm going to ask Zhao Kuangyin for someone, and he will sell me."
