Warrior in Turbulent Han Dynasty

Li Yu has just taken the throne, and the throne has not yet been firmly established, the situation has become very chaotic. He paced back and forth in the royal study room, unable to conceal his inner wandering.

Compared with other countries, the civil service system of the Southern Tang Dynasty is more mature; it is difficult for Wuyue country to easily initiate a coup by military commanders, and it is not easy to change dynasties like the Central Plains dynasty. But because of this, the internal game is more complicated. In the raging world, the arrogant soldiers are still not easy to control.

Lin Renzhao, a surrender from Fujian, often makes his own claims and is unscrupulous. Who knows what he thinks in his heart?

Li Yu pondered: Lin Renzhao, a Fujianese, didn't look at the national community at all. He just regarded the Southern Tang State as a place to shelter temporarily. That's why they pretend to be loyal to the fame and fame, and are ready to climb the other side at any time.

But Lin Renzhao is indeed a good general to some people. Li Yu didn't want to make himself betrayed and left alone, and the situation would be even worse.

...So when the minister was summoned for discussion, Li Yu said: Lin Renzhao and Zhennan Jiedu made Zhu Lingyun have a disagreement, let him go to the Southern Capital Left-behind Association and Jiedu Zhu Lingyun had a dispute with Zhu Lingyun, which is not conducive to urging Zhu Lingyun's rate. The army rushed to help.

This reason is reasonable and the ministers have no objection. Chen Qiao, the assistant governor of Guangzhengyuan, wanted to arrange another dispatch for Lin Renzhao and recommended him to lead the army to quarry and deploy defense.

Li Yu heard this in his heart, and Chen Qiao obviously failed to appreciate the Sacred Heart... The discord between Lin Renzhao and Zhu Lingyun was just an excuse. The fundamental reason was that Li Yu did not trust Lin Renzhao. Quarrying is a very important place in the defense line of the Yangtze River. If the quarry was offered by the gang, wouldn’t it be a great achievement in the Zhou court?

Li Yu pondered for a moment, ostensibly agreed to Chen Qiao's proposal, and decreed: "Lin Renzhao should be appointed as the capital of the Guardian Army."

The intention of this order is very delicate, because the commander of the Guardian Army is Huangfu Jixun, and even if the quarrying is to be reinforced in the future, the chief commander is Huangfu Jixun; nominally he followed Chen Qiao’s suggestion and used Lin Renzhao for In quarrying, the person in charge of the military is his boss. Compared with Lin Renzhao, Huangfu Jixun is much more reliable... After Huangfu Jixun was Zhongliang of the Southern Tang State, his father and brother all sacrificed their lives for the war in the Southern Tang State. Even for his brave father and brother, Huangfu Jixun could not betray Nantang.

……

Guo Shao led more than 10,000 elite troops from the front of the palace to Yangzhou, and made a sign that the key attack direction was at Jingkou; the Huben army went another way to the central Huainan area. Along the way, the Jiedu envoys of the towns were ordered to send troops to strengthen them, and they formed a corps of more than 30,000 soldiers, and countless people gathered from various states and counties. The East Route Army was known as the land and water 400,000 to gather in Yangzhou.

Guo Shao ordered the first arrivals to be spread as wide as possible along the river, so the north bank of the Yangtze River even camped for dozens of miles, with flags like clouds and horses everywhere, and the momentum was very strong.

After he finished these things, he went to see Han Tong at the East Coast Water Village in Yangzhou.

"General Han, don't stand still, continue to attack Jingkou and put pressure on the Southern Tang Army." Guo Shao directly urged upon meeting.

Han Tong frowned: "The Southern Tang Army gathered heavy navy troops at the mouth of the capital. The waterway of the canal is narrow, and the storm may be difficult to achieve... A while ago, I was urged several times, but it was anxious that I lost the first battle and was burned by the Southern Tang Army. |A large ship was destroyed, and the river was blocked for a few days."

Shi Yanchao, who followed Guo Shao, listened and snorted: "Han Duzhi is negligent. He doesn't look at the direction of the wind and he shirks the responsibility in one sentence. It's really light."

Han stared, his eyes widened suddenly, and his face was annoyed: "You can do it, you come to fight the water!"

Shi Yanchao sneered, not afraid of anyone at all, and said: "Lao Tzu is a member of the palace, but he never said that his opponent is too strong to dare to rush. The surname is Han, you are in the battle. Still want to find some prestige in front of Lao Tzu?"

Han Tong was so angry that his fists were clenched. Guo Shao said in a timely manner: "It is common to win and lose, and it is not a big deal to lose. However, General Han should be a little more cautious in the future. Soldiers have families and families. Although fighting is inevitable, it is best not to let everyone die. The child was killed because of the general's misjudgment."

Han Tong is still in anger, and he has no good attitude in front of Guo Shao. He said with a displeased expression: "Now the offense is to let the soldiers die without profit!"

"Do you want to resist?" Shi Yanchao sneered at Han Tong.

"Shut up, you!" Guo Shao cursed, took out a few pieces of paper from his arms and handed it over, "General Han may not figure out the court's strategy, you keep this copy. Remember, This is a military plane, and only important generals can refer to it."

Han Tong took things to look through.

Guo Shaodao: "We made a strong presence on the other side of the Jingkou port in order to attract the main force of the Nantang navy. Although General Han made a small mistake, he achieved the strategic goal in general, and he did not conceal his merits. I placed the army on the river bank, and This was the intention of urging General Han to attack the surface... Li Chuyun was relieved of the pressure in his department to free up his hands for aggressive quarrying.

Fighting will kill people. The navy soldiers paid a small amount of casualties to attack the Southern Tang Army, but they ensured the safety of more than 50,000 people including Li Chuyun and Gao Yanjian. This price is not a judgment error, but a cost-effective approach. Both General Han's subordinates and Li Chuyun's subordinates were killed.

The court judges merit, no matter how much it kills, the most important thing is to win the battle of Southern Tang Dynasty. Whoever played an important role in this battle will have the greatest credit! "

Han Tong listened silently, without saying a word.

Guo Shao said to this general who was much older than himself: "Soldiers have a bearing on the survival of the country, and the lives and deaths of countless people. General Han should not act arrogantly, and take the decisions made by the court as important."

Han Tong clasped his fist and said: "The final general is willing to follow General Guo."

Guo Shao heaved a sigh of relief. Both Shi Yanchao and Han Tong present were not friendly people, and their tempers were not good. Getting along with them really affects the mood... But Shi Yanchao doesn't support him recently. When he is too big, he only pretends to be big in front of others, which makes Guo Shao much easier. Although these two people are difficult to get along with, they do have abilities. Shi Yanchao's martial arts is very strong and brave, and he is the first strongman in the big week. Han Tong is not a vain name. This man has experienced many battles. Starting from the battle of Huainan, he presided over the navy by Chai Rong's will. He has done many things very reliably. There will be no major problems in handling things, which makes people feel more at ease.

Guo Shaodao: "Wars are ever-changing, and General Han does not have to wait for a reply to make a decision on his own when he is facing the opportunity. An explanation will do afterwards. As long as the general intention is considered, everything will not be questioned."

Han Tong listened, seeing that Guo Shao's eyes were somewhat different, and he bowed and obeyed.

Guo Shao stood up: "I won't stay any longer. General Han looks for an opportunity to launch an attack as soon as possible to make the Southern Tang Army truly feel threatened."

...Guo Shao rode back to Yangzhou's army, and suddenly heard that Li Chuyun had an urgent report from the army.

Li Chuyun said in the letter that the Southern Tang Army discovered that the quarrying (southwest of Nanjing) was slack in defense at this time, and fighters were rare. He wanted to seize the opportunity to get in for quarrying as soon as possible. He planned to mobilize Gao Yanliang's Jiannan Army to the west of Wankou, leaving Luoyanhuan to lead thousands of people to defend Chizhou; he would take the lead on land and water and attack and quarry.

Guo Shao passed the memorial to Wang Pu after reading it. Wang Pu said he had read it by himself a long time ago and then passed it to other civil and military personnel.

Wang Pu bluntly said: "Li Chuyun wants to transfer Gao Yanliang to Wankou (Chizhou west line) because he does not trust the Shu army to drop troops. Otherwise, he is currently short of troops and should not be transferred to Gao Yanliang for more than 20,000 yuan. Heavy soldiers."

Zuo You said: "The Shu army stays near Chizhou. In case of a backlash, it will not only not help Li Chuyun, but also threaten his stomach and back. Li Chuyun is probably worried about this."

Guo Shao frowned and said: "It is proved that there are heavy soldiers at the mouth of the lake. Nandu (Nanchang) is the accompanying capital of the Southern Tang State. The nearby land and water forces are no less than 100,000. If they want to advance eastward, they are most likely to take the waterway; What is lacking is not soldiers, but reliable warships. Gao Yanjian’s foot cavalry went to the land of Wankou, and it was useless; Li Chuyun even let them stay in Jiangbei, which was a waste of troops. Li Chuyun deployed like this, Chizhou was empty, just in case. When the Hukou Army arrived, he didn't even have a way to retreat after losing the city..."

Wang Pu said: "Li Chuyun may think that the enemy forces in Hukou can't come in time, and the old man thinks so too."

Guo Shao thought for a long time, and said, "Quick horse ordered Li Chuyun to let Gao Yanjian join the offensive quarrying sequence. This place is very important. If you want to fight, you must have sufficient troops. In addition, he ordered the fourth and fifth tigers of Luzhou. The Sixth Army rushed to Chizhou immediately."

Zuo You reminded: "Gao Yanjian won't hold back?"

Guo Shao said without hesitation: "I wanted to understand it a long time ago. If you think that the gang is completely unreliable, then there is no need for the Jiannan Army to spend its military supplies! Gao Yanjian and his deputy Hou Mao, in the battle of Shu Performance is not clever, but it is by no means a sloppy. Don't worry, he won't let me down in the quarrying battle."

Wang Pu also supported Guo Shao’s statement at this time: “Gao Yanjian has just been reused by the court~www.readwn.com~ This time he is an opportunity to do meritorious service and establish his status. As long as Gao Yanjian is not a mediocre person, he should seize it. This rare opportunity."

Since the privy envoys in charge of the "Jiangnan Qianying Military Mansion" all support Guo Shao's decision, the military order can be issued immediately.

Guo Shao said again: "Add an attachment to Li Chuyun's letter, and ask him to write a memorandum of all the news collected in the quarrying, and report it to the Chinese Army."

Because the water surface of the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River has always been controlled by the Southern Tang State, the information on the southern bank that Jiangbei wants to understand is quite troublesome. It is all intelligence from a long time ago. It is difficult to understand the movements of the Southern Tang State in Jiangnan in time. However, it is easier for Li Chuyun to send scouts in Chizhou directly by land.

Wang Pu went to order people to write the military order, and then took the signature of the seal. Guo Shao turned around and took a closer look at a long and narrow picture of the Yangtze River on the wall. He stroked his finger along the thick line to the right along the place marked Chizhou (Many ancients used to draw pictures from south to north, sitting by themselves. The direction is north, facing south; but Guo Shao still draws the picture from north to south), then he took the ruler to measure the approximate distance. r1058
