Zhao Kuangyin interceded for Shi Shouxin in front of Guo Rong.
"Your Majesty, Shi Duxiao is a reckless person, and it is now known that he was wrong. For the sake of his loyalty to Your Majesty, regardless of his own life, please forgive him and give him a chance."
"The waterways in Huainan are criss-crossed. Our army currently has no navy, and its maneuverability is far inferior to that of the Southern Tang Dynasty. Shidu School is best at using cavalry. With him, our army can make up for this shortcoming with the speed of the cavalry."
Zhao Kuangyin starts with emotion first and then talks about reason.
The combination of emotion and reason.
Guo Rong looked at the general he trusted most in front of him with a bit of displeasure, "That's enough, don't say any more. I know Shi Qing's loyalty and have never doubted it. But as long as you are loyal to me, you can
How can I govern this world if I do whatever I want?"
"I agree to kill Wang Jixun!"
"It is also my intention to arrange for Luo Qing to serve as the governor."
"The Imperial Camp Division was also arranged by me in front of the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty!"
"You do whatever you want if it doesn't suit his wishes? Seven are dissatisfied and eight are dissatisfied? Do you still have me as the emperor in your eyes?"
"Luo Qing is magnanimous and doesn't care about him at all. What's the result? They all started to break into Kaifeng Mansion. I haven't dismissed him from his post, so I'm very tolerant. Don't mention this matter again, otherwise the crime will be increased. Please forgive me,
Treated with the same crime.”
Guo Rong threw up his sleeves and left without giving Zhao Kuangyin a chance to speak.
Zhao Kuangyin looked at Guo Rong's back, opened his mouth, but finally said nothing.
Returned to Shi Shouxin's mansion.
Shi Shouxin had woken up and was lying on a chair holding the wine jar.
Zhao Kuangyi sat aside, and the two of them did not speak to each other.
Seeing Zhao Kuangyin enter, Shi Shouxin stepped forward quickly, grabbing Zhao Kuangyin as if grasping for life-saving straws, and looked at him pitifully, as if he were a puppy.
Zhao Kuangyin shook his head and whispered: "Your Majesty was furious and said that if anyone pleads for mercy, the crime will be increased and they will be punished with the same crime."
Shi Shouxin took two steps back, at a loss as to what to do.
Zhao Kuangyin still wanted to talk.
Zhao Kuangyi said: "This is all the fault of Luo Youdu, and now he is the most favored. With him here, I'm afraid no one can persuade the officials to change their minds. It's better for School Shidu to look away and seek another opportunity."
He was afraid that his brother would be burdened by friendship and force himself to come forward.
Luo Youdu had already surpassed them. If he lost the chance of this battle because of an irrelevant Shi Shouxin, he was afraid that there would be no possibility of catching up.
As members of the Palace Front Division, it was a foregone conclusion that they would follow Guo Rong on his own expedition, but they didn't want anything to happen.
Shi Shouxin smiled miserably. The next chance would be easier said than done.
There are so many opportunities in life.
This battle in Huainan is a once-in-a-lifetime battle.
How many opportunities will arise and how many achievements will be made.
As long as they win, the generals of their generation will make further progress, and the new generals will emerge and gradually replace their current status.
At that time, should I try to catch up with my current friends? Or should I have fun with a group of juniors who are younger than me?
Shi Shouxin has an impulsive personality and is too obsessed with grudges, but he is not stupid. It's not that he doesn't know many things, but his personality is limited, and he can't think about things when things happen. Afterwards, when he thinks about it alone, there will be something called regret in his mind.
It reverberated, but I couldn't help but feel embarrassed, making the same mistake over and over again.
"Let's go!"
Shi Shouxin waved his hands pessimistically, unwilling to talk to the two of them anymore.
Zhao Kuangyi took Zhao Kuangyin and left.
Zhao Kuangyin hesitated for a while, but finally chose to leave without speaking.
What Shi Shouxin could think of, how could Zhao Kuangyin not think of it?
The Battle of Huainan will bring unprecedented changes to the military officials of the Zhou Dynasty.
Military generals are not as good as civil servants, they compete for connections and qualifications.
Of course they also need qualifications and connections, but in the end they have to rely on merit to rank according to seniority.
If you miss the Battle of Huainan, the situation of the military officials will change drastically, which is almost equivalent to missing the future.
Zhao Kuangyin was full of ambitions, how could he be willing to miss this opportunity?
As soon as Zhao Kuangyin left, Shi Shouxin's stubborn body collapsed on the ground, his eyes blank. Even Zhao Kuangyin left, and no one could help him anymore.
As the good news from the front continued, Guo Rong could no longer sit still.
The emperor Guo Rong longed for most was Li Shimin.
In the past, when Feng Dao prevented him from going to the Northern Han Dynasty, he compared himself to Li Shimin: "I saw Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty pacifying the world, and all the enemies, big and small, were conquered by himself."
Feng Dao directly retorted: "Your Majesty is incomparable to Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty."
General Guo Rong was so angry that his blood surged.
Now that the military situation is coming like snowflakes, Guo Rong is itching and unbearable.
Arrangements for the aftermath of the personal expedition began. Han Lingkun performed well in the Western Expedition and was appointed as a guard in Tokyo. Wang Pu, a bachelor of Duanming Palace, assisted him in his work. Han Tongquan, the envoy of Zhangxin Jiedu, served as the inspection and guard department, responsible for inspections and inspections inside and outside Kaifeng.
examine.
When Guo Rong was preparing for his personal expedition, intelligence reports about Dazhou's lurking in the Southern Tang Dynasty came to Li Jing and he responded accordingly.
After Guo Rong received the news, he immediately summoned Wang Pu and Luo Youdu.
"Two gentlemen, this is news from Jiangnan."
Guo Rong looked serious and said: "I have Xiao He and Zhuge. I didn't expect that the Southern Tang Dynasty also had Han Xin. There is also Song Qiqiu who can serve as a hundred thousand soldiers."
With that said, he handed the information in his hand to Wang Pu.
After Wang Pu read it, he passed it on to Luo Youdu.
Luo Youdu took it and took a look. The information was very brief, conveying three messages in just a few words.
First, Li Jing sent Liu Yanzhen, commander of the Shenwu Army of the Southern Tang Dynasty, to lead 20,000 naval troops north to support Shouzhou.
There is another note behind this news: Liu Yanzhen, the first general of the Southern Tang Dynasty, is said to be as good at governing the army as Han Xin and as governing the people as Gong Sui.
Second, Huangfuhui, the envoy of Huajun Jiedu, was sent to lead 30,000 troops to support Shouzhou by land.
Third, the prime minister Song Qiqiu, who had been demoted and punished, was recalled to take charge.
Wang Pu said: "Except Song Qiqiu, neither of them should be afraid."
Luo Youdu praised: "Mr. Wenbo's eyes are as bright as a torch. Your Majesty, I agree with Mr. Wenbo's opinion. However, if I add more words, none of the three have anything to fear."
Guo Rong felt at ease and said, "How can I say this?"
Luo Youdu made a gesture of invitation.
Wang Pu said with a smile: "This reincarnation of Han Xin is just like the current Zhuge of Meng Shu. Who is Han Xin? If Han Xin really had Han Xin in the Southern Tang Dynasty, would the situation be like today? Li Jing was ambitious. After he came to the throne, he began to use troops to destroy foreign countries.
The two kingdoms of Chu and Fujian pushed the Southern Tang Dynasty to its peak. But if you think carefully about their method of victory, it was nothing more than crushing strength, with no strategy or tactics at all. If Han Xin really existed, how could he have fought like this? I think bragging is more important than anything else.
fact……"
"As for Huangfu Hui, I know this man a little bit. He is indeed brave and good at fighting. However, he is just a soldier and his tactics are old-fashioned. Our army can easily capture him if we send out a large general at will."
Luo Youdu went on to say: "Song Qiqiu was a man of great talent. In his early years, he served as the mastermind for the Xu family. The Xu family in Jiangnan replaced Yang Wu. He made the most of his contribution. However, this man had a bad character, no respect, and extremely powerful methods.
He likes to have a false reputation. As long as he spreads rumors that Song Qiqiu cannot stop the Zhou soldiers, Song Qiqiu will crawl into the tomb without us taking action."
The Xu family is the Li family in Jiangnan. The founding emperor of the Southern Tang Dynasty, Li Min, originally changed his name to Xu Zhigao with his adoptive father Xu Wen, and changed his surname back to Li after he became emperor.
