Warrior in Turbulent Han Dynasty Chapter 430: People who are difficult to trust
lnmao.org, the fastest update of the latest chapters of the Ten Kingdoms Qianjiao!
Li Yu has just taken the throne, and the throne has not yet been firmly established, and the situation has become very chaotic. He paced back and forth in the imperial 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 to produce such things as Wu Yueguo that is easily coup by military commanders, and it is not easy to change dynasties at every turn 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 survivor from Fujian, often makes his own claims and is unscrupulous. Who knows what he thinks in his heart?
Li Yu pondered: Lin Renzhao, a native of Fujian, didn't even look at the national community at all. He just regarded the Southern Tang State as a place for temporary shelter. That's why they will pretend to be loyal to the fame and fame, and at the same time, they are ready to make another climb.
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 to discuss matters, 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's dispute, which is not conducive to urging Zhu Lingyun. Led the army 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 was only muttering in his heart when he heard this, Chen Qiao obviously failed to appreciate the Sacred Heart... What Lin Renzhao and Zhu Lingyun's disagreement 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, wouldn’t it be a great achievement in the Zhou court?
Li Yu pondered for a moment, and ostensibly agreed to Chen Qiao's proposal, declaring: "Reappoint Lin Renzhao 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 it wants to reinforce the quarry in the future, the chief commander is Huangfu Jixun; nominally he followed Chen Qiao’s suggestion and used Lin Renzhao. 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 brothers 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 soldiers from the front of the palace to Yangzhou, indicating that the focus of the attack was at Jingkou; the Huben army went to the central Huainan area on the other side. Along the way, they ordered the Jiedu Envoys of the towns to send reinforcements, and they formed a corps of more than 30,000 soldiers. There were countless people mobilized by the states and counties. The East Road Army was known as the water 600,000 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 when meeting.
Han Tong said frowning: "The Southern Tang Army gathered heavy navy troops at the mouth of the capital. The waterway of the canal is narrow, and the attack may not be effective... A while ago, I was urged several times. Burning destroyed a large ship, and the river was blocked for a few days."
Shi Yan, 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's eyes widened and his eyes widened suddenly, with an angry look on his face: "You can do it, you come to fight the water!"
Shi Yan sneered, not afraid of anyone at all, and said: "Lao Tzu is a person in front of the palace, but he never said that his opponent is too strong to dare to rush. The surname Han, you are in the battle. Still want to find some majesty in front of Lao Tzu?"
Han Tong glared with anger, his fists 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 it is unavoidable to die in war, it is best not to let everyone. My son died because of the general's misjudgment."
Han Tong is still in anger, and he has no good attitude in front of Guo Shao, with a displeased expression: "Now the offense is to let the soldiers die for nothing!"
"Do you want to resist?" Shi Yan sneered at Han Tong.
"Shut up, you!" Guo Shao cursed, and 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 aircraft, 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 minor mistakes, he achieved the strategic goal in general, and he did not conceal his merits. I put the army on the river bank. He also urged General Han to attack the water, and that was the intention... 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 is much older than himself: "Soldiers are related to the survival of the country, and the lives and deaths of countless people. General Han should not be arrogant, but take the decisions made by the court as the most important thing."
Han Tong clasped his fist and said: "The final general is willing to follow General Guo, General."
Guo Shao heaved a sigh of relief. Shi Yan and Han Tong who were present were not friendly people, and they had bad tempers. Getting along with them really affects the mood... But Shi Yan hasn't been in front of him recently. So, only pretending to be big in front of others, this made Guo Shao a lot of worry. Although these two people are difficult to get along with, they do have abilities. Shi Yanwuyi 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. People don't have big problems when doing things, and they feel more practical.
Guo Shaodao: "Wars are ever-changing, and General Han does not need to wait for a reply to make his own decision when the opportunity arises. It is enough to explain after the fact. As long as the general intention is considered, everything will not be questioned."
Han Tong listened, seeing that Guo Shao's eyes were a little different, and he bowed and obeyed.
Guo Shao stood up and said, "I won't stay any longer. General Han is looking for opportunities to attack as soon as possible, so that the Southern Tang Army will truly feel threatened."
......Guo Shao rode back to the army of Yangzhou, and suddenly heard that Li Chuyun had an urgent report from the army.
Li Chuyun said in the letter that it was discovered that the Southern Tang Army's 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 led the main force of water and attacked quarrying.
Guo Shao passed the memorial report to Wang Pu after reading it. Wang Pu said he had read it by himself and passed it to other civil and military officials.
Wang Pu bluntly said: "Li Chuyun wants to transfer Gao Yanliang to Wankou (Chizhou Western Route) 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. Multiple pawns."
Zuo You said: "The Shu army stays near Chizhou. In case of reversal, 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 Shui-6 troops are no less than 100,000. If they want to advance eastward, they are most likely to take the waterway; The thing that lacks the most is not soldiers, but reliable warships. Gao Yanjian’s riding to Wankou 6 was useless; Li Chuyun even let them stay in Jiangbei, which was a waste of troops. Li Chuyun deployed like this and Chizhou was empty. In case the Hukou Army arrives and loses the city, he will not even have a way out..."
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 4th and No. 5. The Sixth Army rushed to Chizhou immediately."
Zuo You reminded: "Gao Yanjian won't hold back?"
Guo Shao didn’t hesitate to say: “I’ve long since thought about it. If you feel 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 were in the battle of Shu. His 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. This time he is an opportunity to establish his status. As long as Gao Yanjian is not a mediocre person, he should seize 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 information he collected in the quarry, and report to the Chinese Army."
Because the water surface of the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River has always been under the control of the Southern Tang State, the information on the southern bank that Jiangbei needs to understand is quite troublesome. It is all intelligence from a long time ago, and it is difficult to understand the movements of the Southern Tang State in Jiangnan in time. However, if Li Chuyun wants to send scouts to work in Chizhou, he can go directly from No. 6, which is even easier.
Wang Pu went to order people to write the military order, and then took his own signature. 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 north to south, sitting down 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.
