Luo Youdu seemed to have said this, but also seemed to have said nothing.
But Shu Yuan understood it, and said with a happy face: "Shu Yuan thanks the army for your guidance, and is willing to act as a leader for the army."
Luo Youdu was extremely happy for Shu Yuan's arrival.
Under Guo Rong's special arrangement, the military of the Great Zhou Dynasty appeared in the form of a tripartite confrontation.
If we divide the three families of Wei, Shu and Wu, Li Chongjin belongs to the Wei Dynasty, with a deep foundation, the Guards and Qinjun Division is the most powerful, and the three divisions are the strongest.
Zhang Yongde is Sun Wu, and he is also a time-honored force. The Dianqian Division is the strongest combat force in the Great Zhou Dynasty.
Luo Youdu is Liu Shu who has just established a team. Although he has a number of strong generals, his foundation is actually a bit weak.
Not to mention Li Chongjin or Zhang Yongde, he is not as good as the fourth child Zhao Kuangyin in this aspect.
Zhao Kuangyin has decades of personal connections spanning several generations of the Zhao family.
Don't look at Zhao Kuangyin who was very worried and embarrassed because of Wang Yansheng's incident.
That's because the disaster will not affect him. Once something happens to Zhao Kuangyin, these connections and resources will play a decisive role.
Luo Youdu relied on his generous and generous personality and his stunning performance in the Huainan War to gain a firm foothold in the military and was recognized by most people.
But there is still a difference between the close and the distant. Accepting and believing does not mean that you are on his side.
Over the years, Luo Youdu has continued to run his own circle, and has also attracted Han Lingkun, Shi Shouxin, Gao Huaide and others, but his core members are still Pan Mei and Cao Bin, rising stars with unlimited potential.
Unlimited potential refers to the future, not the present.
Pan Mei and Cao Bin are much more famous than Han Lingkun and Shi Shouxin.
But now if they really have to fight one on one, Pan Mei and Cao Bin may not be able to defeat Han Lingkun and Shi Shouxin.
Han and Shi were at their peak, and their many years of combat experience were enough to defeat Pan Mei and Cao Bin.
At present, Luo Youdu is in urgent need of some experienced backbones who can fight.
But it is obvious that the backbone of the Zhou Dynasty were mostly close friends and subordinates of Li Chongjin, Zhang Yongde or Zhao Kuangyin.
In the absence of special opportunities, it is difficult to pry them over.
Zhu Yuan, Lin Renzhao, and Guo Ting said that these surrendered generals who were capable of fighting in the Southern Tang Dynasty were Luo Youdu's targets.
Lin Renzhao is currently training naval forces in the Huaihe River, and the general he captured is one of his own.
Zhu Yuan and Guo Tingwei have never been able to find an opportunity to break in.
Meng Lang's post was too contrived and had a bad impact on winning the hearts of foreign generals.
He could trick Zhao Kuangyin quietly, and he might have prepared a trap.
If it reaches Guo Rong's ears, then the gain outweighs the loss.
Shu Yuan is now here by himself. Even if Guo Rong knows about it, it is just a matter of course.
With Luo Youdu's status, how can he check and balance Li Chongjin and Zhang Yongde, two old guys, if he doesn't recruit some younger brothers who can fight?
Luo Youdu hid his thoughts on this face.
Asking for help and being asked for help are two different concepts.
What Luo Youdu wanted was this gift of supporting others. He said calmly: "We are all working for the Zhou Dynasty, so why should we distinguish each other? We have the same goal, so we should help each other. You and Guo Tingwei still have contacts.
?”
Shu Yuan said truthfully: "I have never had any contact with him, but I had a good relationship with him when we were in Jiangnan. I can introduce him to the army."
There is no doubt about their ability as a group of generals, but their status is very embarrassing.
What the Great Zhou Dynasty lacked were civil servants, not generals.
There is more porridge and less meat, but why do you want outsiders to get a share of the pie?
Wouldn’t that make it even less edible?
In addition to the Battle of Huainan, the Zhou army suffered more or less at the hands of Shu Yuan, Lin Renzhao, and Guo Tingwei.
Four generals at the provincial level died at the hands of Shu Yuan. Lin Renzhao used the navy of the Southern Tang Dynasty to force Zhang Yongde to curse his mother. Guo Tingwei even beat Zhao Kuangyin's father Zhao Hongyin to nowhere and bullied Zhao Kuangyi.
Being together in one place is bound to cause some discomfort.
Therefore, in history, no matter whether it was the Zhou Dynasty, the Song Dynasty, Shu Yuan, or Guo Tingwei, these capable generals who were surrendered were not reused.
The pinnacle of their lives was the Battle of Huainan.
Shu Yuan and Guo Tingwei must also know this.
Guo Tingwei is respectful by nature and will work conscientiously and wait for opportunities.
Shu Yuan was not willing to wait.
Compared with the old-school forces like Li Chongjin and Zhang Yongde, Shu Yuan knew that Luo Youdu, a new force in the Great Zhou Dynasty, was the best to integrate into.
Luo Youdu said: "As long as you don't use the introduction, just let it take its own course. After all, we are working together, and the relationship between you should not be too rigid."
Guo Tingwei is not in a hurry to conquer such people. As long as he is given a chance, he will gather them himself.
Shu Yuan is different.
In Luo Youdu's eyes, this guy is a hungry wolf. He must be trapped in a trap, and he must be fed without feeding him enough. If you don't feed him, he will look for food on his own. If you feed him, he will have to eat.
Either I lack motivation, or I have a big appetite.
This kind of person should be kept in the palm of your hand. After making meritorious service in the future, the first thing to do is to recruit him into the Imperial Camp Division.
Otherwise, it is very likely that he will run away with others.
It's normal for people under my command to have petty thoughts.
Everyone's personality is different. It's impossible to expect everyone to be as obedient as Bai Qi. Let him kill people and lay down millions of corpses. Don't let him go. In one sentence, just wipe his own neck, cleanly.
How to use people like Shu Yuan and how to check and balance them all depends on the methods of those in power.
Luo Youdu was still confident that he could control him.
Shu Yuan saw that Luo Youdu was worried that he and Guo Tingwei would not get along well, which would affect internal harmony. He also heard that the young commander of the imperial camp in front of him wanted to conquer them all together. He was even more excited and said with high spirits: "Commander the Army
Don’t worry, the general will never disappoint the commander’s expectations.”
His eyes were shining brightly, and he was already imagining his bright future.
Luo Youdu smiled when he saw this. He still admired Shu Yuan's impulsiveness.
As long as you have the ability and can transform the momentum into corresponding military achievements, it will be enough.
After sending Shu Yuan away, Luo Youdu was in a happy mood. Being able to absorb Shu Yuan and Guo Tingwei into his camp would undoubtedly increase his strength to a higher level.
Shu Yuan's station is not far from Qixian County, and it only takes a day to ride a horse.
After returning to Caizhou, Shu Yuan immediately wrote a letter to Guo Tingwei.
The content of the letter was roughly a heart-to-heart exchange, and it mainly explained his own difficulties. It was not that he was unjust, but that Jiangnan Li Jing and Chen Jue were too bastards.
As for the news of his meeting with Luo Youdu, he didn't mention a word.
Shu Yuan would not kindly tell Guo Ting that their future was settled.
If you tell him in advance, won't there be one more person competing with you for favor?
Shu Yuan has always been selfish, so he would not do such stupid things.
But you have to do what Luo Youdu told you seriously, after all, your future depends on him.
If you don’t listen to him, who will you listen to?
Is it possible to listen to the superior Emperor Guo?
What benefit did he give himself?
Shu Yuan's character is typical of the Five Dynasties generals, and he doesn't even have an emperor in his heart.
He will follow whoever treats him well and gives him a chance to make contributions.
Just do whatever you are told.
After receiving the letter, Guo Tingwei looked at the disgusting words in Shu Yuan's letter strangely, smiled and handed it to his brother Guo Tingzan.
Guo Tingzan said with a bit of anger: "Zhu Yuan, the thief, still has the nerve to defend himself?"
Guo Tingwei glanced at his aggrieved brother and said, "Brother, I am also a thief!"
"No!" Guo Tingwei said hurriedly: "Brother, it's different. You were captured by the Zhou soldiers first, so you had no choice but to do so."
Guo Tingwei shook his head and said: "What's the last resort? The unification of the world is unstoppable. It's enough for my brother to be worthy of Jiangnan. This Zhu Yuan is also worthy of Jiangnan. I won't mention the traitor in the future. It's just Zhu Yuan."
Because of my character, I would definitely not write this letter to me rashly. There must be another reason. Who can give Zhu Yuan what he wants in the temple today?"
Guo Tingzan was startled and said: "It's just those three."
Guo Tingwei said with a smile: "He is a brother, and he was captured by his subordinates. That's good, the lintel of the Guo family has long been dimmed, and it's time to wipe it clean. Even if he can't be like his great grandfather,
At least not like this today."
In fact, Shu Yuan's letter to Guo Tingwei was unnecessary.
Because Lin Renzhao was training troops in the Huaihe River, it was only an hour away from Bozhou where Guo Tingwei was.
Lin Renzhao and Guo Tingwei had a much closer relationship than Shu Yuan, and they corresponded from time to time.
Lin Renzhao highly respected Luo Youdu, and Guo Tingwei also saw things clearly. Compared with the xenophobic Li Chongjin, Zhang Yongde, and Luo Youdu's subordinates were undoubtedly the best.
Huaihe Navy Military Camp.
Jiao Jixun, commander of the navy of the Great Zhou Dynasty, entertained Lin Renzhao for a drink.
Jiao Jixun raised his wine glass and said, "There are only three good men in the world."
Lin Renzhao raised his glass and said: "I would like to hear the details."
Jiao Jixun said: "Firstly, Zhao Kuangyin, the commander in front of the palace, has a pistol and stick skill that is unparalleled in the world. If he can take his three immortal moves, he is a first-rate master. Secondly, Hujie left the capital
The commander is Gao Huaide, with his white horse and silver spear, he is invincible. The third is Lin Xiandi, who can go up mountains and down rivers as if walking on flat ground. He can do anything on horseback and shoot arrows. I think there are no heroes in the world who can compare with you."
Lin Renzhao's eyebrows danced with joy as he raised his glass and said, "I owe you the favor of my superior. I feel ashamed that I don't deserve it. I feel ashamed that I don't deserve it."
We had a few drinks together.
Jiao Jixun asked: "Brother Lin Xian is in his thirties, why hasn't he gotten married yet?"
Lin Renzhao sighed: "My deceased wife has been dead for three years and has never remarried."
Jiao Jixun frowned and said, "How can a man be without a wife? If he doesn't think about himself, he must also think about continuing the lineage of the Lin family."
Lin Renzhao suddenly burst into giggles and said: "Actually, I have fallen in love with someone, but I was just worried that she would think I have bad breath, so I didn't dare to tell her."
Jiao Jixun was stunned for a moment and couldn't say the words that came to his mouth.
Jiao Jixun had a very good relationship with Zhao Kuangyin. This time, he was entrusted by Zhao Kuangyin to tell his sister that the marriage was coming. He thought it would be a matter of course, but he didn't want to find another person he liked, so he said awkwardly: "But I don't know which girl is so lucky to have a good brother.
Favor.”
Lin Renzhao said: "The sister of the Guo family is the sister of Guo Tingwei, the defense envoy of Bozhou!"
In fact, Lin Renzhao had no idea whether Guo Tingwei had a sister. No matter what, even if he didn't have one now, he would have to get one.
It’s hard for Jiao Jixun to continue promoting.
Guo Tingwei may not be as powerful as Zhao Kuangyin, but he is a descendant of Guo Ziyi. When it comes to lintel, how can the Zhao family compare to the Guo family.
