Zhao Kuangyin and Zhao Kuangyi looked at each other calmly.
Run away! Defeat!
These are two concepts.
Victory and defeat are common matters in military affairs. If you really can't defeat him, you will be demoted at most according to the severity. But if the general loses the battle because he is cowardly and escapes, he will be beheaded.
Zhang Lingduo patted the table and said: "Han Bushuai intends to keep things official, but Minister Li does not agree. I am caught in the middle, how difficult it is!"
Zhao Kuangyi's eyes flashed with excitement, and he shouted from the bottom of his heart: "God help me!"
These days, Zhao Kuangyi has been thinking about how to overthrow Zhang Yongde and let his brother sit in the seat that is inspected in front of the palace.
It's just that since the last "check to be emperor" incident, Zhang Yongde has completely changed his temper.
Originally, Zhang Yongde was proficient in astronomy and often interacted with alchemists. However, after the incident, he dismissed all the alchemists and lived in seclusion, rarely seeing guests.
Even during this expedition, Zhang Yongde behaved very low-key and Buddhist-like.
Seeing Li Chongjin being arranged to defend against the Northern Han Dynasty, and seeing Luo Youdu advancing so triumphantly, Zhang Yongde actually remained silent.
Facing Zhang Yongde like this, Zhao Kuangyi really couldn't think of any way.
It wasn't until Chanyuan was resting that he unexpectedly heard that something had happened to the Guards and Military Division.
Zhao Kuangyi suddenly had an idea. He couldn't move Zhang Yongde, but he could move Li Chongjin!
Li Chongjin and Zhang Yongde have been hostile to each other for many years, but their actual relationship is one of mutual prosperity and mutual loss.
Li Chongjin fell. Can Zhang Yongde, who is the only one in the family, still be able to secure his position?
The two brothers worked together and invited Zhang Lingduo to reminisce about the past.
Learn more.
I didn't want to hear this news.
In the Guards and Military Department, Li Chongjin was the top leader, followed by Han Tong, Han Lingkun, and Zhang Lingduo.
Now Li Chongjin is facing off with Han Tong.
One is an old boss, and the other is the new favorite of the imperial family. How can Zhang Lingduo have the confidence to stand up?
The two of them were really annoyed by the quarrel, so the two juniors invited him to drink. As soon as he got up, he said everything that should be said and shouldn't be said, and he passed out drunk in the pub.
Zhao Kuangyin carried Zhang Lingduo back to his residence.
The two brothers also returned to their residence.
Zhao Kuangyi suppressed his voice and said: "That's great. I'm afraid Ambassador Li will never recover this time."
Zhao Kuangyin did not reply immediately, but clenched his fists and thought to himself: "Is this God's will?"
In fact, under normal circumstances, no one would care about Li Chongjin protecting Cai Shenting.
Even if it reaches Guo Rong's ears, Guo Rong will laugh it off.
After all, Li Chongjin saved the situation, and the top man in the military must be given face.
At most, remembering the name Cai Shenting would completely cut off his chance of promotion.
But now it's completely different. Guo Rongzheng is worried that he can't catch Li Chongjin's pigtails.
If Li Chongjin, who was resisting the Northern Han Dynasty on the front line, had known about Guo Rong's situation in advance, he would not have shielded Cai Shenting and put himself on the line with his political sense.
The key is that when Li Chongjin defeated Liu Jiye, Guo Rong was still fighting an offensive and defensive battle in the north of Youzhou City.
At that time, no one knew that Guo Rong would fall down immediately.
**********
Youzhou City.
Grain straw
Luo Youdu received a report that day.
The registration was at Lin Renzhao, Jingu.
Looking at the content of the letter, Luo Youdu's expression suddenly changed and he secretly shouted: "What a danger!"
It almost ruined something big.
It turns out that May has entered the rainy season. Jingu is located on the coast of the Bohai Sea, and the humidity is too high. A small part of the grain stored in Jingu has become damp.
Food like food is prone to rot as long as it gets damp, and once it rots, it will spread throughout the country if not discovered in time.
However, there is a general named Zhang Xiong in the navy. He is the most attentive. Every time it is his turn to be on duty, he will carefully check the entire Dazhai and not miss any details.
When the food got damp, he discovered it immediately.
Their navy has sorted out the damp food and eaten it first.
But in order to prevent such things from happening, Lin Renzhao wrote a book to ask whether Jingu grain should be transported to Youzhou City for storage, just in case.
Luo Youdu thought for a while, knocked his hand on the case, and said to himself: "If there is no fighter plane, then create one!"
The two sides have been engaged in small battles these days, with each other winning or losing.
Luo Youdu saw it.
He didn't dare to let go and fight because it was the first time he was commanding an army and he was worried about losing control of his troops and losing troops for no reason.
But the other party didn't dare to fight, for what specific reasons.
Luo Youdu didn't know about it. He guessed that the sleeping emperor Yelujing was unpopular in Khitan. Once the losses were too great, it would be difficult to explain when he returned, causing political turmoil.
Anyway, both sides are tied up, so dragging it on is not a problem.
It's better to take this opportunity to actively seek a fight.
"Come here, call all the generals for a meeting at Youshi."
Murong Yanzhao and Gao Huaide should be traveling outside during this period, so they chose to meet when they returned home.
At the eleventh hour, Murong Yanzhao hurried over.
In the past few days, Luo Youdu allowed him to go out to fight, venting a lot of the anger he had been holding in his heart, and his mood became relieved.
For the commander-in-chief Luo Youdu, he was naturally convinced and said: "Everyone has made arrangements, but the general is late in coming back. I'm sorry, but I'll just keep you waiting!"
Luo Youdu laughed and said, "It's not difficult to guess the expression on Commander Murong's face. I gained a lot today."
Murong Yanzhao said hurriedly: "Everyone deployed Ji Yan and beheaded a Khitan Taoist commander. Unfortunately, his head was so hot that he didn't think about capturing him alive."
Luo Youdu's eyes lit up and he said with a smile: "Yes, it's a great achievement!"
The organization of the Pishi Army is different from that of the Khitan's Five Capitals and Han Army. They have a team of between five hundred and seven hundred, ten teams form a lane, and ten lanes serve as one side. Each team, lane, and side has a commander.
A Taoist commander is at least a commander with five thousand soldiers.
When Luo Youdu saw all the generals gathered, he explained in detail the situation of Jingu's food supply.
Hearing this, Gao Huaide immediately said: "Everyone has arranged for General Mo to patrol the enemy in these days. He went a hundred miles deep in the direction of Jingu. He found a lot of scout horses on the way. General Mo thought they had been watching our food and transportation.
It is impossible to avoid their eyes no matter what."
Luo Youdu secretly praised that Gao Huaide's move was obviously to prepare for the support of the grain team in the future.
Plan the war before it starts.
Luo Youdu said: "So this time we will use food to attract them to fight..."
He looked around and said: "The trials these days have proved one point. The Khitans are young and do not dare to fight."
"If they don't dare, then we will take the initiative and use food as bait to lure them into our predetermined battlefield."
He put his finger on the map and said: "Our grain team will start from Jingu and travel on the south bank of the Haihe River. At Wuqing, we will turn to the Sanggan River and continue to march along the south bank of the Sanggan River towards the Gaoliang River.
They all go along the river."
"My idea is that it is the rainy season and the river is relatively fast, so it is inconvenient for the Khitan cavalry to cross the river directly to attack. They can only intercept our army's food team by crossing the river in advance. And our main task this time is to keep these Khitan cavalry crossing the river behind.
