Chapter 49 Whoever dares to refuse, find him to argue
Luzhou.
"Eat slowly, eat slowly!"
Luo Youdu looked at Dou Yi who was devouring food in front of him, feeling a little distressed.
The dignified Dou eldest son now looks like a beggar, with messy hair, wearing shabby baize clothes and bare feet, and his face is as black and gray as a coal digger.
When Luo Youdu met him just now, he didn't recognize him at all.
If he hadn't announced his name, Luo Youdu wouldn't have dared to think about Dou Yi.
How could a good and talented man end up in such a predicament?
Luo Youdu took him into the government office and prepared meals for him.
Although Dou Yi tried his best to maintain his final dignity as a scribe and did not directly take action, the food was so delicious that it was nothing more than a cow chewing peonies.
Luo Youdu waited until Dou Yi had filled his stomach before asking the reason: "Why did Ke Xiang end up in such a situation?"
Dou Yi stroked the oil stains on his beard and after hearing this question, he told what happened along the way.
Compared to the unlucky Zhao Pu, Dou Yi's luck is obviously better.
In order to appease the people, he left Chuzhou City and escaped disaster.
But obviously Guo Tingwei has no intention of letting Dou Yi go.
Compared with the Zhou Dynasty, which relied on military merit and status, the Southern Tang Dynasty obviously paid more attention to personal connections and literary talent.
It’s not that the Southern Tang Dynasty didn’t have generals who were good at fighting, it just didn’t have the people and the methods to discover them.
Guo Ting said that it was extremely difficult for a general like this who was away all the time to be promoted and would not miss any opportunity to make meritorious deeds. It would definitely not be enough to capture a judge alive, but adding a long history would be enough.
In particular, this long history is Dou Yi, and his father is Dou Yujun, a leading scholar in the Central Plains.
If you dedicate Dou Yi to Li Jing, you will definitely be praised.
Therefore, Guo Tingwei spared no effort to capture Dou Yi in Chuzhou.
Dou Yi was hiding in Tibet. As a scholar, he had neither the ability to protect himself nor the ability to survive in the wild, and he had to face arrest and pursuit.
It is a blessing to be able to come to Luzhou alive.
When Luo Youdu heard that Chuzhou had fallen, his expression changed slightly and he asked, "Who did it?"
Dou Yi shook his head and said: "It was Guo Tingwei from Haozhou. He went down by boat and cooperated with the gentry in the city to take the city by surprise." He said and sighed: "I was lucky enough to escape, but I don't know what to do with it."
What is happening now with Judge Zhao, who is also an official?"
He felt a little sorry.
Zhao Pu's cultural level is not high, but he has a good mind.
It is not easy for ordinary people to notice. Dou Yi went south with him and worked together, so she naturally understood his abilities.
Luo Youdu nodded, Guo Ting said, this is not surprising.
Guo Tingwei was one of the few capable generals in the Southern Tang Dynasty. Historically, Guo Rong went through a lot of hard work to capture Shouzhou. When he thought he could push Huainan to an equal footing, he suffered a big loss at the hands of Guo Tingwei.
, and lost two generals at the level of governor.
Guo Ting said that by going south from Haozhou, he was going to cut off Zhao Kuangyin's retreat!
Luo Youdu was muttering in his heart. Suddenly he thought of something and asked, "Is that Judge Zhao Zhao Pu?"
Dou Yi said: "It's him. Sir, you actually know him? This man is very talented. Now I'm afraid he has been captured by Guo Tingwei. It's a pity."
Luo Youdu was a little dumbfounded. This butterfly effect is a bit interesting.
Zhao Pu actually didn't see eye to eye with Zhao Kuangyin, and might even have become a prisoner of the Southern Tang Dynasty?
Luo Youdu still values Zhao Pu somewhat.
At present, it seems that Zhao Pu is the only one who can rival Wang Pu.
The great thing about Zhao Pu is not his strategy, but his customization of rules and regulations.
Many rules and regulations in the Song Dynasty were written by Zhao Pu.
Of course, from the perspective of Luo Youdu, who was ahead of his time, many systems created a lot of hidden dangers for the later Song Dynasty, resulting in military weakness, and were not considered clever.
But strictly speaking, it has nothing to do with Zhao Pu. On the one hand, he caters to the intentions of the old Zhao family. The old Zhao family wears yellow robes themselves, which is too serious for the generals to overcorrect. On the other hand, the generals of this era are affected by the times.
, it’s really outrageous.
If possible, find an opportunity to fish for him.
Luo Youdu looked at Dou Yi who was restless, and knowing that he had eaten and drank enough, he began to pay attention to his manners. He smiled and asked him to go down and wash up, and said: "Since Chuzhou has been lost, it is better for Xiang to take up a post in Luzhou.
I am also short of manpower here. As for the official appointment documents, I will prepare them for the officials, so it is not a big problem."
Dou Yi bowed in surprise and said, “I feel honored to serve under Mr.
Luo Youdu watched Dou Yi leave with a smile, then took out a map from the desk and pondered it carefully.
Although the possibility was slim, he couldn't help but think about how Zhao Kuangyin would continue to fight if he accidentally stumbled.
He thought evilly.
In fact, in his opinion, Zhao Kuangyin's failure is not a bad thing.
The national conditions of the Southern Tang Dynasty were different from those of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
In the Southern Tang Dynasty, literati were in power, and the temples were mostly filled with ostentatious people.
So I pushed all the way through the week and encountered almost no opponents.
But after clearing out a group of exaggerated people, the generals who are truly capable of fighting will step forward to take the lead.
Everyone in the Zhou Dynasty was obviously confused by the series of victories.
I really thought that the Southern Tang Dynasty, the strongest of the ten kingdoms, was just a piece of cake. Even the emperor Guo Rong might not be able to look at all this calmly.
When Guo Rong divided his troops, Luo Youdu wrote a book to persuade him not to be too radical.
But he also knew that Guo Rong would not listen, or he could not help himself.
Guo Rong was the emperor of Zhou Dynasty. Sitting in this seat, his gaze and thoughts were different from those of ordinary people.
He can be partial, but he cannot be exclusive.
Shouzhou has been unable to be conquered for a long time, and many of the generals who came to conquer have not made any achievements, but Zhao Kuangyin and himself are getting good news one after another. How can other generals see this and have no objections?
Therefore, it is the general trend to divide the troops and plunder the territory, and even Guo Rong cannot prevent this situation.
The reason why Luo Youdu wrote letters and revised books was just to gain a sense of presence. He asked his boss to say later, "I regret not listening to Youdu."
That's enough.
But in fact, even if he had to do it over again, Guo Rong would still have no choice.
Zhao Kuangyin's defeat would make Zhou Jiang, who had already turned his eyes to the sky, realize that the real war was coming. It would be a good thing.
This dead Taoist friend is not a dead Taoist, so he can't ask for a defeat on his own and let others remind him.
"Report! There is a man outside the city who claims to be Yang Guangyi, the Marquis of Yu, the Fourth Governor. He came here to borrow grain from you on the orders of Zhao Kuangyin, the Marquis of Yu in front of the palace!"
Suddenly, the guard's voice came from outside the palace.
"well!"
Luo Youdu sighed regretfully, but he rushed out immediately and shouted: "Where is Marquis Yang Duyu? Take me to see him quickly!"
In his heart, Zhao Kuangyin belongs to a hostile force, and Zhao Kuangyi is even less popular with him.
But he decided not to let anyone see that he had any prejudice against the Zhao brothers.
Although the contact was not deep, he, Luo Youdu, admired Zhao Kuangyin's brave military strategy, and he, Luo Youdu, admired Zhao Kuangyi's self-created invincible formation.
Anyone who dares to be dissatisfied can come to him to argue.
