Chapter 12 Disapproval
Under the guidance of Cui Yan, Luo Youdu entered the Zhou Palace from the side door of Xihua Gate.
The Imperial Palace of the Zhou Dynasty is not as majestic and luxurious as imagined, but rather simple and full of traces of history.
Luo Youdu thought to himself that it seemed that the two emperors Guo Wei and Guo Rong lived relatively frugally. When he became rich in the future, he should not be too extravagant. If he was in the hands of others, he would have to be like them.
On the other hand, Luo Youdu also saw that Dazhou's economy was indeed not very good.
Otherwise, no matter how frugal Guo Wei and Guo Rong are, their appearance will have to be whitewashed.
After all, this is not an ordinary place, it is the face of Dazhou.
Passing through the corridor, Luo Youdu actually heard the shouts of "stab", "kill", "stab", "kill". The sounds were getting closer and louder.
Luo Youdu felt a chill in his heart and was confused. What kind of situation was this? Could it be that he was forced to have a baby?
Cui Yan smiled when he saw this and explained: "This is the imperial guard training! Luo Zongzheng must have heard of the military training in Wude Hall, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty."
Luo Youdu suddenly felt at ease.
He knew that history.
Li Shimin, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, conquered the world by virtue of the Xuanwu Gate Incident, and the prince Li Jiancheng who was executed by him happened to be the person in charge of the northern defense line of the Tang Dynasty.
Once the boss died, every soldier on the northern defense line was in danger and could be defeated without attacking.
The Turkic Jieli Khan seized this opportunity and directly led an army of 200,000 troops to the city, aiming directly at Chang'an City.
Li Shimin devised a suspicious strategy and personally led Gao Shilian, Fang Xuanling and other six cavalrymen to the Wei River to sign the Wei River Alliance with the Turks.
After the Turks retreated, Li Shimin regarded this as a great shame and humiliation. He set up a training ground in the Wude Hall of the imperial palace and trained his soldiers day and night in order to avenge his humiliation.
Guo Rong followed this example, obviously to make those soldiers who defected in the Battle of Gaoping become anxious and to train a real iron-blooded force.
Luo Youdu looked at the direction where the sound came from. In this palace, how could the soldiers trained under the emperor's nose be any worse?
He vaguely remembered that during Song Taizong Zhao Laoer's Northern Expedition, the Song army's combat effectiveness was terrifying.
Zhao Laoer, this bastard, led the Song soldiers to destroy the Northern Han Dynasty in five months.
Then Zhao Laoer went back on his promise. Before the war, he said that after the Northern Han Dynasty was destroyed, he would reward the three armies. However, after the Northern Han Dynasty was destroyed, he said that after the Northern Han Dynasty was captured, he would reward the three armies again.
An emperor talks like farting.
This war is not a trip, and the soldiers are not fools.
After destroying the Northern Han Dynasty, the soldiers survived by luck. No one knows whether they will survive if they go to attack Youzhou again.
Even if he wins the battle and dies in battle, is it possible that the general's salary will be sent to the King of Hell's Palace?
Zhao Laoer's words directly caused the Song army to collapse, and the soldiers had no intention of fighting.
Even so, after a month's long journey, the Song army still dispatched the Liao Kingdom's Beiyuan King Yelu Xidi, Xiao Tuogu, Yishi Wang Sahe, Yelu Xiezhen and beat them all with hammers at the outskirts of Youzhou.
They can't find North.
Han Derang was so frightened that he cowered in Youzhou City and did not dare to move.
Yelu Xiezhen and Handerang are both rare generals.
The Song army then began to besiege Youzhou, and Zhao Laoer made another foolish move.
Originally, a unit of the Song Army bypassed Youzhou to encircle the fortress for reinforcements. However, Zhao Laoer saw that Youzhou City could not be captured for a while, so he recruited this army back and attacked the city together.
This time it's a joke.
The Song army besieged Youzhou, and there were no soldiers and horses to guard the perimeter. The Liao reinforcements directly attacked the Song army with a thousand-year kill, stabbing the Song army in the chrysanthemum.
To be honest, the Song army was really strong at this time. They used foot against cavalry. Under such a disadvantage, they withstood the charge of the Liao reinforcements and cavalry and drove the Liao soldiers back.
It's just that the Song army has fierce men, and the Liao army also has them.
Brother Yelu Xiu and Yelu Xiezhen led the cavalry around the back of the Song army. They attacked the Song army at night and directly killed Zhao Laoer's headquarters, shooting him with two arrows on his butt and thigh.
Zhao Laoer had never seen this battle before, so he was so frightened that he abandoned the three armies and ran away.
This guy had an arrow wound on his butt and couldn't ride a horse, so he got into a donkey cart and ran south with sparks and lightning, leaving behind the myth of the God of Chariots in the Gaoliang River.
Luo Youdu heard the deafening shouts of killing, and he couldn't help but secretly thought: The spirit of the Song army must have started from here!
It's a pity that I met Zhao Laoer.
While passing by the training ground, Luo Youdu suddenly saw a man, tall and mighty in armor, who was inspecting the training of soldiers.
Zhao Kuangyin!
Zhao Kuangyin suddenly looked outside the hall and saw a familiar figure.
Luo Youdu!
The two looked at each other, one outside the palace and the other inside the palace. Their field of view was not wide, and soon the figures disappeared in each other's eyes.
Zhao Kuangyin withdrew his gaze, thoughtfully.
Luo Youdu stopped thinking wildly and followed Cui Yan honestly to the Yanhe Hall, where Guo Rong governed after he left the court.
After waiting outside the palace for a while, Luo Youdu received a message from the eunuch: Guo Rong wanted to see him!
Luo Youdu straightened his clothes and strode into the hall.
"Your Majesty, Fa Cao, is here to pay homage to His Majesty."
Luo Youdu bowed his waist, a little lower than usual.
Cui Yan has already explained the rules to him in detail.
If it is a formal court meeting, all civil and military officials should respectfully salute and say hello.
In this kind of private situation, just a long bow is enough.
Guo Rong looked at the audience with interest and said, "No courtesy, please sit down."
Stools and chairs have become popular in this era.
There are two ways to sit down. One is to sit down directly, that is, kneeling on a mat and futon like the ancient method. The other is to specifically emphasize sitting on a chair, which is to sit on a chair normally.
Luo Youdu obviously hasn't reached that level yet.
A strange color flashed in Guo Rong's eyes. He knew that Luo Youdu was not old, only in his early twenties, but seeing the other person's calm demeanor and bright eyes without any fear at all, he couldn't help but feel a little happy.
Just Luo Youdu's magnanimity added a lot of points to the heart of the Emperor of Zhou Dynasty.
How did Guo Rong know that Luo Youdu would reach sixty in his two lifetimes combined?
What's more, Luo Youdu was a successful businessman in his later life. He had seen a lot of big things in the world, and his ability to withstand pressure was first-rate.
Guo Rong was just guessing whether Luo Youdu was hiding his clumsiness. Whether it was true or not was not very important to him. He also had another intention, which was to point Cui Yan a little bit and scold him to let him know that the dispute between Zhang Yue and Lu Bin was not
Because what both of them said was reasonable, but he, the top leader of the Kaifeng Mansion, was too indecisive and lacked the courage to make a decisive decision, thus condoning the fight between them.
But judging from the first impression, Guo Rong felt that his guess was right.
"Cui Daizhi held three meetings, and you attended all of them. I called you here today to ask what you think about Zhang Yue and Lu Bin's attitude towards torture. To be honest, I never think so.
Speech is a crime.”
