Zhao Kuangyi closed the formation diagram in his hand and felt a trace of doubt in his heart.
Zhao Kuangyi's position in the Palace Front Department was not high, he was just doing chores, and he could do whatever he needed.
Zhao Kuangyin's purpose is very clear, which is to deliberately cultivate his extremely talented younger brother, so that he can do more things and interact more with grassroots officials and generals.
Guo Rong was preparing to go to war with the Khitans, and Zhao Kuangyi started arranging supplies early in the morning, and skillfully arranged for officials to distribute the dry food for the battle.
After doing everything well, I found that there was no sign of the army being mobilized.
Zhao Kuangyi organized his military equipment again, but he hadn't received the news yet, so he simply read military books and studied formation diagrams in his military tent.
He found that the more ideas he had, the larger the array became.
So far, the large formation he has put together requires 40,000 soldiers to take care of all aspects, which makes him a little irritated.
When can I lead an army of 40,000?
Zhao Kuangyi secretly thought to himself that although he hated Luo Youdu, he was filled with envy and jealousy at the thought that Luo Youdu could command the Imperial Camp Division as a civilian official. If he really had the opportunity to command an army, he would definitely do as well as him.
Somewhat impatiently waiting, Zhao Kuangyi asked outside the tent: "The commander-in-chief has not returned yet?"
Knowing that Zhao Kuangyin had been back for a while, Zhao Kuangyi was even more surprised. He put down the formation map in his hand and walked towards Zhao Kuangyin's tent.
In broad daylight, the tent of Zhao Kuangyin's tent was rarely closed.
Zhao Kuangyi directly opened the tent and entered.
It was dark inside the tent, and there were no lights on.
His brother was sitting at the top. Zhao Kuangyin was originally dark and blended in with the darkness.
Zhao Kuangyi trembled with fright and said with lingering fear: "Brother, what are you doing? You scared me. Didn't you agree to go out today? Why is there no news at all?"
Zhao Kuangyin did not speak, but looked directly at his brother.
Zhao Kuangyi was even more confused and frowned: "What happened?"
Zhao Kuangyin did not speak, but strode outside the tent, glanced left and right, and did not take down the tent. Instead, he pulled Zhao Kuangyi aside and said with a solemn expression in a low voice: "Don't say anything, brother, I have lost my head."
Let me tell you about it.”
Zhao Kuangyi's pupils shrank and he nodded slightly.
Zhao Kuangyin hesitated for a long time and then said: "If the official family is gone, what will we do?"
Even though Zhao Kuangyi was mentally prepared, he was so frightened by his brother's words that he couldn't stand still.
Zhao Kuangyi knew very well that his brother was full of ambition and was a man who could do great things and could lead the Zhao family to the top, but he never knew that he had the ambition to swallow the sky.
"You're crazy!"
Zhao Kuangyi suppressed his voice as much as possible and screamed: "Do you want our Zhao family to bury you with you?"
Zhao Kuangyin's own body was trembling a little, with fear and a little excitement.
Before today, he had never thought about such a thing.
Guo Rong's ability, prestige and means are obvious to all.
Zhao Kuangyin didn't have any other thoughts about Guo Rong. Even if he took the blame for some reason and was questioned by Guo Rong, he didn't dare to be dissatisfied at all.
But today when Guo Rong fell down, Zhao Kuangyin suddenly realized a problem.
The oldest of Guo Rong's sons is only five years old...
With his fall, what will be the future of Da Zhou?
Let a baby sit in that position?
Guo Rong's fainting this time was definitely not the only one who had a change in his mentality.
Zhao Kuangyin, who had always had his heart as high as the sky and could not tolerate others sleeping soundly on his bed, was the first to experience fluctuations in his mentality.
Zhao Kuangyin ignored his frightened brother, but told Zhao Kuangyi what happened today in detail word for word.
Zhao Kuangyi was still frightened and uneasy.
Guo Rong's ability is recognized by the world in this era.
Zhao Kuangyi did not dare to think about rebellion, and said in a trembling voice: "The officials trust Wang Pu the most, so it is reasonable for him to faint when he is stimulated. Unless..."
There was a flash of panic in his eyes,
But my whole body felt inexplicably hot.
The two brothers are essentially the same type of people, and neither lacks ambition.
It's just that compared to Zhao Kuangyin, Zhao Kuangyi hid it deeper, and even he didn't even notice it.
Zhao Kuangyin said: "Brother Wei suspects that Guan Jia's indifferent behavior after he woke up was just pretending. He really had some disease, but he didn't realize it. He was stimulated by Wang Pu's death and had an attack."
Guo Rong pretended very well.
He hid it from many people, but when Guo Rong passed by him, he clearly noticed that his actions were slightly uncoordinated and unnatural.
Such tiny details are difficult for ordinary people to detect.
But Zhao Kuangyin was different. He was a rare master in the world. His six senses were so sharp that few people in the world could compare with him. The slightest difference in Guo Rong did not escape his eyes.
Zhao Kuangyin was very confident that Guo Rong was trying to support him.
He wanted to conceal his situation. Only if he, the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, was alive and well, could the Great Zhou Dynasty avoid any trouble.
Zhao Kuangyi looked at his brother blankly and thought of something.
"The Emperor's soldiers should be those who have strong soldiers and horses. He would rather have the talent!"
In this world, the Zhu family can sit, the Li family can sit, the Shi family can sit, the Liu family, and the Guo family can also sit.
Then why can’t the old Zhao family do it?
Zhao Kuangyi was a little crazy and his body was trembling slightly. He forced himself to calm down. He walked out of the tent and looked around, then returned to the tent and said, "This matter is too important. No one must know about it."
Zhao Kuangyin nodded and said, "As long as you and I, the two brothers, know about it, we don't even need to tell my father to avoid irritating him."
Zhao Kuangyi said: "We can't move in the short term. If His Majesty is really suffering from a serious illness, his style and attitude will definitely change. The current situation is that the first bird will be shot. Whoever takes the lead will suffer."
Zhao Kuangyin praised: "Sanlang's words deeply touched my heart."
"And!" Zhao Kuangyi looked at Zhao Kuangyin and said: "No matter how Zhang Dianjian treats his brother, he must not show mercy to him anymore. The brother must sit in the seat of inspection in front of the palace. Only by controlling the front department of the palace can the brother have the strength to deal with
Changes in the future.”
Zhao Kuangyin did not hesitate this time.
**********
Luo Youdu did not go back to Youzhou directly, but found Han Tong, the infantry commander of the Guards and Military Division.
"Han Bushuai, I have something to ask for advice, and I hope you can give me some advice."
Han Tong's spirits were a bit low, and today's stimulation was too great.
Even though Guo Rong finally woke up, nothing seemed strange.
It was too scary after all.
After all, anyone with a discerning eye can see the situation in Dazhou, and Guo Rong is the only one who supports him.
As soon as Guo Rong fell, the sky of Zhou Dynasty collapsed.
A trace of vigilance flashed in Han Tong's eyes and he said, "I wonder what the commander-in-chief has to do?"
Luo Youdu heard the intention of rejecting people thousands of miles away, but he didn't care. Instead, he directly took out the map he carried with him and said: "For the safety of the official family, this battle cannot be fought. There is no danger on all sides of Youzhou."
, it cannot be defended without a large army. What's more, the Yanshan defense line is in the hands of the enemy. The Khitan can invade Youzhou City anytime and anywhere, plunder the people and destroy crops. It is impossible to prevent it..."
"By then, Youzhou City will become useless. Not only will the people's livelihood be unable to be guaranteed, but it will also greatly increase the burden of military expenditures."
"Instead of falling into the quagmire, it is better for a strong man to cut off his wrist and abandon Youzhou City directly."
"A certain person plans to forcibly move the people of Youzhou southward and give the Khitan an empty city."
"As for Yizhou and Zhuozhou, I think they can still be defended."
"Han Bu Shuai is the best at border defense affairs. How to ensure the maximum results of the Northern Expedition after withdrawing troops depends on whether Bu Shuai can create a new border defense line for us in the Great Zhou Dynasty."
When Luo Youdu saw his purpose, he told him everything.
Guo Rong suddenly fainted. This situation was unexpected for him.
Regarding this irresistible accident, Luo Youdu also felt that Zhuge Liang had to retreat because Ma Su and Li Yan missed the opportunity to fight.
In addition to being helpless, it is still helpless.
Luo Youdu did not have Zhao Kuangyin's terrifying six senses of a warrior, but he knew that if something went wrong with Guo Rong, it would definitely not be a trivial matter.
It was impossible and impossible for him to force Guo Rong to fight to the death here in Youzhou and risk his life on Youzhou.
The only thing that can be done is to ensure the results of this Northern Expedition as much as possible.
When Han Tong saw Luo Youdu coming because of this matter, he felt inexplicably relieved. Then he felt a sense of respect and thought to himself: "No wonder the official family is headed by him."
"Thanks to the trust of the commander-in-chief, I hope I can do my best."
Han Tong clasped his fists in greeting and said, "Please enter the account and discuss in detail."
Surrounding Dafang Mountain and Zhuoshui in Zhuozhou, Baima Mountain and Laishui in Yizhou, and the three passes of Yukou Pass, Yijin Pass and Waqiao Pass, Luo Youdu and Han Tong discussed how to build an attackable and attackable pass.
line of defense.
Nightfall!
The royal tent in the army.
Guo Rong received the reply in his hand. He checked the mud seal on one side and confirmed that no one had opened it privately. Then he took out the letter inside and read it carefully.
If Luo Youdu saw the contents of the letter, he would definitely be shocked.
The letter contained his general itinerary for today, as well as the transfer status of the Imperial Camp Division.
The details of his whereabouts are not precise, but he has certainly been there.
The dispatching movements of the Royal Camp Division are clearly described.
The letter stated that after Luo Youdu received the news about Zhang Yongde, he came to the military camp with only a dozen cavalry.
No instructions were given to anyone in the Royal Camp Department. Guo Rong lay down on the chair a little weakly and breathed a sigh of relief. A smile finally appeared on his solemn face.
At the end, Guo Rong couldn't help but feel confused when he saw that Luo Youdu returned to Youzhou around dusk.
Luo Youdu and his party left around noon and returned to Youzhou in the evening?
Could it be that he stayed in the camp all afternoon?
Guo Rong immediately asked someone to find out who Luo You was spending the afternoon with.
I got the news soon.
"After the commander-in-chief left the imperial tent, he went to see Han Bushuai!"
Hantong?
Guo Rong frowned slightly, and then called Han Tong directly to the imperial court.
Guo Rong looked at the confidant who was specially selected by his confidant in front of him and said: "When I return to Bianjing this time, I want to make you the commander of the Imperial Camp and Sima Infantry Army. Are you confident that you can do the job?"
Han Tong said loudly: "I will definitely live up to His Majesty's respect!"
Guo Rong asked casually: "The army will be led by Mr. Youdu. What do you think of Mr. Youdu's character?"
