Chapter 51: Liu Guangguo

Wang Bing patrolled the construction site. This was the east of Bianliang, his future battlefield. Now a few of the soldiers on this battlefield were brought back from Hedong, and most of them were brought back from the bank of the Yellow River. At least one had been following him for ten days. Hedong and the soldiers of Hedong broke up and knew each other. The whole army knew that Wang Bing and others fought fiercely, Taiyuan, Fenzhou, and Longde, the cities that fought bloody battles, made the soldiers of Hedong establish their confidence in Wang Bing, and this confidence was also passed on to the Hedong Army.

Therefore, the construction of Wang Bing's construction site was the most smooth. At noon, a young general asked Wang Bing to report it. Wang Bing was surprised and didn't hear that someone would be transferred today. The general came to Wang Bing and bowed: "The last general Shan Tinggui met Jieshuai."

Wang Bing reached out to signal him to get up and asked in detail. It turned out that Wang Bing asked for an official who was proficient in Kaifeng hydrology in the morning. Zhang Shuye had to go to the Dushui Supervisor to invite him, but Liu Bing was familiar with the military officials in the capital, knew that Shan Tinggui was best at digging water, and was familiar with hydrology and geography. He was also responsible for patrolling the Yellow River every year to prevent water damage. He was known as the "Holy Water General", so he sent him to Wang Bing's tent to listen.

Wang Bin everything went well here, and Jie Qian from the Shenwu Eastern Army did not encounter any trouble. After the orders of the Third Yamen, Kaifeng Imperial Army followed the orders, but it was just a slower move.

Zhe Yanzhi encountered some minor troubles. The basic Zhe family troops he led from the Linfu Army were dispersed at Baimadu. Although they had been collected, it would take some time to restore morale. Only by being the backbone of the Zhe Family Army can Zhe Yanzhi master the two Beijing archers who have no connection with him.

Liu Yanqing encountered great trouble. Because his Liu family's troops, the army pieced together by Huanqing Army and Luyan Army, suffered a heavy blow in the Youyan Battle. They are currently stationed on Jingxi North Road or Chenzhou Prefecture to recover from injuries. They are currently led by Xin Qizong's brother Xin Yongzong. In this short term, it is still a rare thing to lose so many people since the Western Army formed its army. It has suffered such great losses and should be compensated from the Shangfeng, which seems to have become an unwritten law in the officialdom.

But without compensation, even their biggest backer, Tong Guan, fell down. Liu Yanqing was unable to protect himself, so how could he talk about compensation? On the second day of the Privy Council military discussion, Liu Yanqing sent Liu Guangguo and Xin Qizong to Chenzhou to ask him to bring the army back to Bianliang.

Liu Guangguo went to Chenzhou to find Xin Yongzong. After finally finding some officers, Liu Guangguo read out the order of the Xuanfu Department of the two capitals. Before the order was finished, the officers scattered and ran away without a trace. Of course, no one was found in the army, and there was no trace of their temporary residence. For more than a year, they had been in kilns, tramples, gambling caves, and boufangs for eight or nine out of ten. The officers were hiking into these old nests and living a leisurely life, and refused to come out easily. It was impossible to meet the enemy. The subordinates of Liu Yanqing could not consider it and could not accept the order. Whether it is your old boss or Xuanfu Department, you can discuss anything else. You can confront the Jin people like wolves and tigers. You can never do it.

This army came down from the life and death field of Baihegou and never wanted to do their jobs again. They wanted to live in a gentle village in Chenzhou Prefecture, and no one was happy to go to the front line to work hard for anyone!

"It's just that our army's military pay is short and the officers and soldiers are penniless, how can we make a journey?"

"This is right!" The other officers also cheered together and shouted: "The military salary of our army is extremely low, and the officers and soldiers all owe a lot of debts. Where can they get out?"

"If you can't get out of it, you can't get out of it." This may be true. The officers owed restaurants, restaurants, boufangs, and trash all over the restaurants, prostitution, debts, debts for compensation, and debts for drama. But these debts are not due to the shortage of military pay, but on the contrary, it is because the military pay is particularly

"It's just that our army lacks military rations, and the officers and soldiers are all pale and thin, and they are weak and have no strength. Where can they have the strength to protect the capital?"

Someone raised the issue of horses, horse feed and weapon equipment. One question was not explained clearly, and the second question followed one after another, making Liu Guangguo overwhelmed.

Liu Guangguo patted his chest and promised:

"Everyone is an old brother who has been following my father all year round. Whether in the west or when he was conquering Fang La, my father did not treat everyone badly." This is the truth. At that time, Liu Yanqing's command strips of local women were stripped away as spoils, and then killed these women and hung them on the tree, saying that they committed suicide. The bodies were hung for more than a hundred miles. "This time, the government will naturally not be stingy."

Then he said that the Fengchun Curtain in Bianliang stored enough weapons and armor to assemble a hundred thousand troops, and two hundred bed crossbows and one hundred seven-pin cannons, which were all powerful tools to defeat the enemy. With Liu Yanqing's face, these can be used by our army.

Everything that could be proposed at the venue as an excuse to oppose the expedition was dispelled. Liu Guangguo announced seriously that the entire army would start within three days.

Time passed quietly. The army had no sign of exercising the order to go out. The troops that should have set off from the capital city to the outskirts to concentrate, and the troops that should have been gathered from other counties to the capital city were still unrecognized. The soldiers could not find the officers, and the officers were still hanging around in their own nests, singing and singing, shouting and shouting, and being as passionate as ever. Only a few soldiers could be found in the military camp, and they were not notified to go out.

Liu Guangguo and Xin Qizong Er had to "cut off a few donkey heads" before they could get things done. They wanted to spread rumors and confuse the public when they conveyed the order that day, and obstructed several officers who came out of the army, beheaded on the spot, and ordered the gate.

The situation deteriorated rapidly and the officers had not yet obtained it. That night, a warrior was shaking flags and shouting, and rushed to the hall. The warrior had surrounded the hall.

"Take those two stupid donkeys out and chop off his two donkey heads to vent their anger!"

At a critical moment, Liu Guangguo and Xin Qizong bowed respectfully and finally sent the warring force back. This small episode only had the nature of a demonstration and did not lead to a real rebellion or bloody incident. But Liu Guangguo and Xin Qizong knew that things had become deadlocked and could not complete the task, so how could they get a job? What should I do if Liu Yanqing's plan to get the military power back? Liu Guangguo drove back to Bianliang. Instead of looking for his father, he went to Hu Yantong, who had already had some alcohol and meat relationships.

Hu Yantong was only in his twenties, and at the age of being a hero, he didn't say hello to his father. He called Liu Guangguo alone and left: "Look at my ability."

As soon as dawn, a large army of tricky and strict and distinct barriers appeared in Chenzhou, and all the situations outside the city were controlled by it. This fact alone constituted a stable force. It stood outside the city like a mountain that flew from somewhere overnight, and immediately suppressed the chaos and arrogance of Liu Guangguo's subordinates. The army captured the disturbers and beheaded the public. Therefore, Liu Guangguo's mission was no longer difficult, and everything was promoted according to the rules.

Three days later, Liu Guangguo and Hu Yantong stood side by side, watching the army leave the city and head towards Bianliang. Liu Guangguo thanked someone beside Hu Yantong: "Thank you for your help. If Han Dushu had not managed the vitals inside and outside Chenzhou, these bastards would not know when they would make trouble."

"Liu Yanei is polite. I, Han Tao, came from Long Jiejun. Brother Tong asked me for help, and I will definitely give you face." Liu Guangguo's official position is obviously much higher than that of the military commander, but Han Tao called him Yanei. The meaning is very clear. You, Liu Guangguo, are just relying on your father's conscience.

Han Tao was originally the commander of Long Jie Army, and later served as the Chief of Military Control Commissioner of Chenzhou under the recommendation of Hu Yanzhuo. After Liu Yanqing's troops conquered Fang La, they rested in Chenzhou and frequently had conflicts with Han Tao's local army and Han Guo. Tong Guan favored Liu Yanqing and the Chenzhou Xiangjun retreated to Liu Yanqing's troops. Hu Yantong dared to agree to Liu Guangguo, because Han Tao would definitely help him. Chenzhou army finally had the opportunity to avenge this time.

The Chenzhou Xiang army did not have to go to Bianliang, but rushed to Yingchang to meet with Yingchang Xiang army. Yingchang generals were used as strongholds in the south of Bianliang to echo Bianliang. Peng Yan, the chief military commander of Yingzhou, was also from the Long Jie Army. Like Han Tao, they were both disciples of Hu Yanzhuo. Hu Yantong did not go north with Liu Yanqing, but waited for Han Tao to set off together in Chenzhou, and conveyed some of Hu Yanzhuo's explanations to him and Peng Yan.

When Hu Yantong finally returned to Bianliang, it was November 28, the first year of Jingkang. The houses around Bianliang had been demolished, and the bricks, tiles, woods and stones that could be removed were transported away. The trees that could be used as siege equipment were also cut down.

When Huyantong was about to reach the south bank of Kaifeng moat, he saw a trench. From Huyantong's perspective, these trenches extended northward to the north bank of the moat. The "trench area" outside Bianliang City had been formed on three sides, especially on the south side, the trench was like a chessboard and earth trench was like a chess piece, extending south from the Bianliang city wall along the Cai River and Huimin River, all of which were Wang Bing's defense areas. The river water had not yet frozen, and Huyantong and other ships carried him across the river. He saw teams of soldiers, each striking small flags, some practicing jumping upwards by the trench, some holding spears and piercing upwards according to the orders, and some holding broken blades in the trench, and they were moving around in the trench.

After a lot of effort, Huyantong passed through the area covered with trenches and camps. He saw that the Bianliang city gate was wide open, but there were no people entering and leaving the city. Huyantong reported his name at the city gate. After a while, the city gate official came over and reported: "You are the one who asked you to go to the city to talk."

Hu Yantong came to the city with confusion and saw a military officer dressed in Xiuwulang's clothes speaking to everyone: "If you can't make cement now, don't do it now. Take the time to make more mud balls and square bricks for use for the scribble."
