Zhao Kuangyin sat up on his horse slightly tiredly, looking at the soldiers lying on the ground scattered around him, he couldn't help but said: "It's all my fault that I fell into this situation."
Zhao Kuangyi said reluctantly at the side: "In order to deal with his brother, Li Jingda mobilized many troops on Huaixi East Road and encircled him from many sides. The strength is too disparate. This is a crime that is not a war. No one can do better than my brother.
Why should my brother blame himself?"
Zhao Kuangyin shook his head and said: "In this battle, I really underestimated the enemy first and dragged down my brothers."
He was fighting all the way, and the Southern Tang Army was like a fool. Even a single army went to Yangzhou City to show off its power, so frightened that Yangzhou stayed behind and closed the city gate tightly, not daring to come out.
You must know that in the Southern Tang Dynasty, Yangzhou had Jinling as its western capital and Yangzhou as its eastern capital.
Faced with such humiliation, Nan Tang still did not dare to fight. It was too difficult for others not to despise him.
Zhao Kuangyin dared to use 10,000 troops to intercept Li Jingda's 30,000 troops in the Southern Tang Dynasty at Hengshan and Dayi Town, but he unconsciously had the idea of underestimating the enemy.
Zhao Kuangyi said angrily: "It's all the fault of the two idiots Dou Yi and Zhao Pu. Even if they can't defend the city, it's okay to let them know. As long as they are prepared, who is Guo Tingwei's opponent? Our food, grass and baggage are still there."
, I wouldn’t come here to ask for help.”
Compared with Zhao Kuangyin's responsibility, Zhao Kuangyi obviously prefers to pass the blame.
"I don't know if he is willing to borrow food!" Zhao Kuangyi muttered a little anxiously.
Zhao Kuangyin couldn't be sure either.
Throughout my life, I have always been forthright and friendly in my dealings with others, and I love making friends. When I took Zhao Kuangyi to thank Luo Youdu, I also wanted to make him a friend.
But as Luo Youdu rose through the ranks and his talents gradually emerged, Zhao Kuangyin found that he couldn't think of making friends with him.
What is the reason? Zhao Kuangyin also asked himself.
Obviously I don't hate him, I obviously admire his talent and courage, recognize his strength, and even feel sympathy for him, but I just don't like him instinctively.
I don't know why, I can't describe that feeling.
It's as if the two of them are inherently hostile.
Especially when I heard that my good brothers Han Lingkun, Shi Shouxin, and Gao Huaide, whom I had a crush on, were all on bad terms with Luo Youdu, I felt as if something that belonged to me was being taken away from me.
Zhao Kuangyin is rough but subtle. His actions may seem rough and arrogant, but he has a certain degree of confidence. The only thing he is not sure about is Luo Youdu.
Two black shadows flew towards me in the distance.
Zhao Kuangyin squinted his eyes and used the awning to see clearly who was coming: Luo Youdu and Shi Shouxin.
Zhao Kuangyin informed Zhao Kuangyi and went up to greet him together.
"elder brother!"
Shi Shouxin rushed forward anxiously, holding Zhao Kuangyin's arm with both hands, looking up and down to see if there were any injuries on his body.
Zhao Kuangyin felt a warm feeling in his heart, punched him and said, "Okay, you still don't know what my skills are? There are not many people in this world who can hurt me."
When he said this, Luo Youdu walked into his sight with a smile that made people feel like spring breeze.
"Brother Zhao!"
"Brother Zhao!"
Luo Youdu bowed to brothers Zhao Kuangyin and Zhao Kuangyi respectively.
Zhao Kuangyin smiled and nodded in response.
However, Zhao Kuangyi was deeply moved and thought to himself: If it weren't for those few kicks, we might be able to become friends.
Zhao Kuangyin has friends all over the world, and almost everyone thinks of him as Zhao Kuangyi as Zhao Kuangyin's younger brother, rather than Zhao Kuangyi himself.
It's like living in the shadow of your own brother.
Just like Shi Shouxin, he didn't take him seriously at all and only cared about reminiscing with Zhao Kuangyin and caring about his safety.
On the contrary, this person whom he hated thought of himself as Zhao Kuangyi.
Luo Youdu did not mention the situation of the war, but said: "The sun is so fierce, it is better for the two brothers Zhao to go to the city to rest together with the other soldiers."
Zhao Kuangyin shook his head and said: "Brother Luo's kindness is appreciated. I am willing to enjoy the defeated general. I just hope that Brother Luo will fund some military rations for me to return to Shouzhou and plead guilty to the officials."
He was sure that Li Jingda would not come to trouble Luo Youdu.
The key to the war situation lies in Shouzhou, and the survival of Shouzhou is directly related to the survival of Huainan.
The Zhou army had no way of knowing how much food there was in the city of Shouzhou. But it had been half a year since Li Gu besieged the city. Even if it was an important military area and the food and grass were fully prepared, there would still be a time when it would be exhausted.
And Daluo Youdu will have to gnaw at the three cities of Luzhou, Hezhou and Shuzhou. How long will this take?
It is safest to skip Luo Youdu, who has already secured his position in the middle of Huainan Road, and directly rescue Shouzhou.
Zhao Kuangyin had to accept it now. Compared with blindly seeking war for merit, Luo Youdu fought with strategic intentions, which was obviously one step ahead of him.
Maybe this is the reason why I am in such a situation now.
Luo Youdu said without hesitation: "Brother Zhao is too polite. You and I both work for His Majesty, so why should we distinguish each other? Since Brother Zhao has made up his mind, I won't force it. Before I came, I had already had people prepare food, tents and tents."
Medicine for knife wounds and anti-summer medicine will be delivered together after the quantity is counted."
Zhao Kuangyin was stunned for a long time and didn't know how to answer.
After a moment, he bent down his strong and pine-like waist and gave a deep bow with some difficulty.
He was wearing armor, and he bowed so deeply that it was hundreds and thousands of times harder than ordinary people's bows.
There was even a cut on the nail plate on the abdomen.
"Kindness without saying thanks!"
Luo Youdu hurriedly helped Zhao Kuangyin up and said, "Brother Zhao, you're welcome."
If Zhao Kuangyin could be killed if he didn't borrow food, Luo Youdu would definitely not borrow it.
But Zhao Kuangyin broke through and arrived here, which meant that he was out of danger.
Even if he can't get food support, he still has five thousand soldiers and horses, and he can solve the food problem by grabbing a village or town at will.
He didn't do this just because of military regulations, but when it was really a matter of life and death, how could Guo Rong blame his beloved general for this?
He would just point the finger at himself for not borrowing military rations.
Whether he borrows it or not, Zhao Kuangyin will not be affected.
On the contrary, he will be known as a person who does not help friendly forces.
In this case, why not be generous and prepare everything for him.
There was also a lot of food, tents, and medicine for wounds. He thoroughly showed his magnanimity and let the world see his goodwill and friendship towards the Zhao brothers.
Luo Youdu didn't care whether the Zhao brothers would appreciate it or not.
It’s enough for everyone in the world to know.
If anything bad happens to the Zhao brothers in the future, no one will doubt him.
Zhao Kuangyin left, taking the food, tents, medicine for knife wounds, and heat-relieving medicine that Luo Youdu had prepared for him, and headed north to leave Luzhou.
Shi Shouxin watched Zhao Kuangyin leave and said, "Brother Luo, that's really interesting. I paid my dues to you, Old Shi, for nothing."
Luo Youdu smiled and said: "Brother Zhao and I are not familiar with each other, but Brother Zhao is my brother, and my brother's brother is my brother. What does this little material mean?"
Shi Shouxin immediately felt more honored and felt that his life was worth it!
