Guo Rong received Luo Youdu's latest battle report. He looked very happy and couldn't help but said to his left and right: "These good news are being passed on one after another. Are the two of them competing?"
At this moment, he didn't even know how to speak.
Guo Rong scratched his head, wondering if it was because I couldn't convey my will well?
Block the reinforcements!
As long as the reinforcements are resisted, it is a great achievement.
Why is this one more cruel than the other?
Not only did they turn the blocking war into a war of annihilation, but they also took advantage of the situation and captured Chuzhou and Luzhou?
One came with 200,000 stones of grain and grass and a Qingliu Pass, and the other directly disarmed a fleet of 20,000 battleships, and also intercepted the 500,000 stones of grain and grass prepared by the Southern Tang Dynasty for Shouzhou, including 20,000 sets of skins.
A also has more than 50,000 swords, bows and other weapons... If these materials are transported to Shouzhou, it will not be a problem for Shouzhou to defend it for another year.
These two are so capable at fighting!
Guo was happily suffering from a headache. Other masters had headaches and their subordinates could not be beaten, but he seemed to be too capable of beating his subordinates.
Wang Pu said with a smile: "The biggest headache for this large army is to transport food and grass. Now it's good, it's 700,000 dan, and I won't have to worry about food for half a year."
Guo Rong laughed: "Youngdu has Zhuge's strategy, Kuangyin has the power of filial piety, I have these two civil and military people, why worry about the world being uncertain. Qiwu, you can draft a decree in my name and let them know Chuzhou and Lu respectively.
State affairs are based on the two places, allowing them to act as they see fit."
Wang Pu said: "Yes!" Then he asked: "Should we prepare some troops for them?"
Guo Rong slapped his head and said with a smile: "That's true. I almost forgot that they only have five thousand soldiers in their hands. Give them another five thousand each to see what surprises they can bring to me."
Luo Youdu led Zhang Qiong, Zhang Xiong and a group of untrained recruits into Luzhou.
The first thing Luo Youdu did when he entered the city was to find Shi Shouxin, Cao Bin, Zhang Qiong, and Zhang Xiong, and make a three-part agreement with them, asking them to restrain the soldiers and strictly prohibit disturbing the people, especially not to rob people's property. Anyone who violates the order will be punished by military law.
Shi Shouxin was mentally prepared and didn't say much.
Cao Bin, Zhang Qiong, and Zhang Xiong definitely agree.
Especially Zhang Xiong, although he is not from the city of Luzhou, he is a villager from a small village in Luzhou and is also a native of Luzhou.
Luo Youdu can protect the people of Luzhou, which is great news for him.
Pan Mei, who was sorting out the battlefield in Zhengyang, Zhao Jue, who was transporting prisoners, and Chang Side, who was guarding the ships, led their troops to Luzhou to join together.
Soon Guo Rong's appointment also spread to Luzhou. Luo Youdu gained the power to dominate Luzhou and was able to act according to the situation.
Luo Youdu looked at the palm of his hand, a trace of excitement and determination flashed in his eyes.
The first thing Luo Youdu did after getting this power was to call Shi Shouxin, Cao Bin, Pan Mei, Zhao Jie, Zhang Qiong, Chang Side, and Zhang Xiong, and take him to the Luzhou Prefecture Treasury.
"Brother Luo, what's wrong! Why did you ask me to come here?"
Shi Shouxin was in a bad mood, not because Luo Youdu was too strict, but because Zhao Kuangyin was pressuring him a little too hard this time.
In Shi Shou's confidence, Zhao Kuangyin was his best friend, not even one of them.
Also because of his best friend, Shi Shouxin never regarded Zhao Kuangyin as his boss.
The two have been together for many years, and Shi Shouxin has always been one step ahead of Zhao Kuangyin, unable to compare with him no matter what.
Shi Shouxin was dissatisfied and wanted to surpass him once.
In history, Shi Shouxin began to be convinced of his friend and brother because of Zhao Kuangyin's incredible performance in the Battle of Huainan, and he also corrected his attitude.
Zhao Kuangyin was able to wear the yellow robe because the Battle of Huainan was so dazzling that everyone in the army was convinced of him.
Now Shi Shouxin did not follow Zhao Kuangyin as in history, but followed Luo Youdu to win consecutive battles, thinking that he could compete with Zhao Kuangyin.
It turned out that my performance was indeed good, but compared with Zhao Kuangyin, he was my younger brother.
The one who could compare with Zhao Kuangyin was his brother Luo, who turned an enemy into a friend, not himself, so he was naturally depressed.
Naturally, Luo Youdu also learned about Zhao Kuangyin's feat of beheading a general on his own, defeating 30,000 with five thousand, and he was greatly impressed in his heart: "Zhao Kuangyin deserves to be Zhao Kuangyin..."
At the same time, I feel very excited. Being able to compete with such competitors is a blessing in life.
Although he hopes that his opponents will be like "Zhuge Hanxin" like Zhao Jizha and Liu Yanzhen, he is not afraid of those who are really powerful.
Others only saw Zhao Kuangyin's extraordinary martial prowess, but Luo Youdu saw it more deeply.
Zhao Kuangyin's riding alone to Huangfu Hui's army was not just a risky gamble, he had accurately guessed Huangfu Hui's psychological state.
Huangfu Hui was brave and fierce, and had thirty thousand troops behind him, so he despised Zhao Kuangyin who came alone.
Let him come closer without letting the crossbowman take any precautions.
His words, "Only kill Huangfu Hui, and the rest get away!" were such offensive words that they provoked Huangfu Hui, who relied on his bravery, to confront him head-on.
Zhao Kuangyin's skill, boldness, meticulousness and absolute confidence in himself were matched by Huangfuhui's arrogance and carelessness, and he was able to achieve the feat of beheading generals.
This was not a hasty act, but a tactic that Zhao Kuangyin formulated based on the situation and the enemy's weaknesses, which only a peerless general of his level could execute.
Luo Youdu ignored Shi Shouxin's question, but opened the door of Luzhou's treasury, revealing all kinds of gold and silk goods stored in the entire state: various types of leather, various brocades and silk cloths, as well as coins and lacquerware.
Wait for valuable things.
"From the battle to kill Liu Yanzhen to the Qingqi expedition to Luzhou, Brother Shi made the greatest contribution. Without your help, I may not have been able to fight such a beautiful battle. Go in and get whatever you like, you deserve it."
Luo Youdu gave up his position.
Shi Shouxin looked at Luo Youdu in surprise.
Luo Youdu said sincerely: "I have never objected to my brothers getting rich. They are all fighting with their only lives. It is only natural for them to survive by chance and receive corresponding rewards."
"Brother, what I object to is just the means of making money. A gentleman loves money and gets it in a proper way. What kind of skill is it to snatch a few Tongbao copper characters from the people who are so poor that they can't even afford to eat? Wealth must be made openly and openly...
...Now I have the final say in Luzhou. All the property in this treasury will be used to reward the brothers. Not a single copper will be left behind, and not a single soldier will be spared."
Shi Shouxin nodded solemnly and said: "I understand, the same means of getting rich are just different."
Luo Youdu's military order made those in his army who were accustomed to making a fortune from fighting more or less have some opinions, but he suppressed them.
I was slightly worried about this. It was fine once or twice. In the long run, morale and fighting spirit would be affected to a certain extent, but now I feel relieved.
Shi Shouxin looked at the gold and silk treasures in the treasury, strode in, picked out a big yellow cowhide, and said with a smile: "I'm worried about not having any shoes to wear, so I went back to get a pair of shoes." He paused and said: "
Brother Luo, I'm afraid I won't be able to win against my brother, so if I help you win against him, I will win."
