As soon as Zhang Yongde boarded the building boat, he said: "Luo Tongjun, return to the camp quickly. Zhao Kuangyin has falsely accused you of colluding with Han Tong, intending to kill the king and seize the throne, and led the palace commander to the Yellow River Army Stronghold."
Zhang Yongde was idle at home and enjoying himself. However, when he was provoked by Li Chongjin, the state of mind he had cultivated was completely broken.
For several days in a row, Zhang Yongde's mind was filled with the phrase "I am as stupid as you, but my appearance is as good as yours".
I was so stunned that I didn't dare to eat meat for several days because I felt sick.
Zhang Yongde already had a small belly, and the more he thought about it, the more upset he became. No matter what, he had to teach Zhao Kuangyin a lesson.
Zhang Yongde was the first chief of the Dianqian Division. Even after leaving the Dianqian Division, he still had his own group of hardcore supporters.
Zhang Yongde didn't want to do anything to Zhao Kuangyin, he just let his confidants look at Zhao Kuangyin for a while and find an opportunity to vent his anger.
As a result, I got this shocking news.
Zhang Yongde panicked at that time and hated himself for being nosy. For a moment, he didn't know what to do, and he didn't even know whether what Zhao Kuangyin said was true or false.
After sending people to wander outside the imperial city, they found out that Zhao Kuangyin was deceiving the soldiers in the military camp.
He wanted to send someone to notify Luo Youdu so that he could be on guard, but he had no idea where Luo Youdu was stationed.
His previous news about Luo Youdu also existed during the siege of Jizhou City.
It wasn't until Luo Youdu's people came to invite him that Zhang Yongde knew that he had actually arrived in Bianjing.
In this desperate situation, Zhang Yongde galloped on his horse and arrived at Lishan Water Gate at lightning speed.
Zhao Pu and Zhang Jin looked at Luo Youdu with some respect.
Seeing that Luo Youdu was not panicked, Zhang Yongde thought he didn't believe him, so he hurriedly said: "The source of the information is absolutely reliable."
Seeing his misunderstanding, Luo Youdu explained: "Not long ago, I asked Hu Yanzan to go to the military camp and asked Pan Mei and Cao Bin to take precautions in advance."
Zhang Yongde was stunned and said in admiration: "The commander of the army has a wonderful plan, but I wasted no time."
Luo Youdu stepped forward and pulled Zhang Yongde and said: "How come the prince-in-law is doing something unnecessary? This is a great help. Before the prince-in-law comes, everything I do here is just speculation. I only know one-tenth of the current situation. Now that the prince-in-law comes,
, brought the most accurate news. In response to this news, I was able to make the most correct decision, and I was able to avoid conflicts with my roommates as much as possible, which is a wonderful feat."
Zhang Yongde was so proud that when Luo Youdu said this, he immediately burst into laughter.
Luo Youdu immediately said: "Renzhao, leave me five thousand soldiers, and you take the rest with you. Now lead the navy northward and set up defenses along the Bianshui River. Zhao Kuangyin will never be allowed to cross the Bianshui River. In addition, you send dozens of people
After leaving Biankou and going down the Yellow River, I demolished all the pontoon bridges on the lower reaches of the Yellow River."
Zhang Yongde was also a veteran. He instantly understood what Luo Youdu meant and said, "Do you think he might run away?"
"It's not possible, it's certain!" Luo Youdu said decisively: "Zhao Kuangyin has the courage to fight to the death, but he is not an idiot who will fight even if he knows that he will die. No matter how powerful the front secretary is, he cannot easily defeat my army of 70,000 to 80,000 people.
Fortress, not to mention that the army is full of brave men who dare to fight."
"He made a desperate bet that we would be undefended and unprepared, giving them an opportunity. As soon as he found out that we were on guard, he would react immediately. We already know everything, and it would be stupid to attack reluctantly."
"Instead of fighting to the end, it is better to lead the troops to surrender to the Northern Han Dynasty and have a chance to make a comeback."
When Luo Youdu said this, he also felt nervous.
If Zhao Kuangyin didn't do so many bells and whistles, he could go directly to the Dianqiansi military camp and do this.
I am afraid that I will fall into the opponent's hands.
In order to arrive in Bianjing one day early, they crossed the Yellow River overnight.
In the heart of their homeland, the forts and patrols did not relax, but they did not bother to set up camps or build fortifications.
In that case, when you encounter a great general like Zhao Kuangyin who is good at fighting in the field, he is no different from a sieve.
Zhang Yongde thought about Zhao Kuangyin's character for a moment and realized that it really made sense, so he stopped talking.
Luo Youdu ordered again to invite generals such as Fan Zhi, Wei Renpu, Xiang Xun, Zhang Mei, Li Jixun, Wang Shenqi, Shi Shouxin, Han Chongyun and others.
The reason why he added a prefix was to reveal to others the established fact that he had conspired to rebel.
The first to arrive was Wang Pu, followed by Wei Renpu, Xiang Xun, Shi Shouxin and Han Chongyun.
These people all have a good relationship with Luo Youdu and have a certain degree of confidence in him.
As for Zhang Mei and Li Jixun, it's not surprising that they didn't arrive.
In this situation where we cannot distinguish between ourselves and the enemy, the best choice is to stand still.
Especially since Li Jixun is one of the Yishe brothers.
Wang Pu, Wei Renpu, Xiang Xun, Shi Shouxin and Han Chongyun heard the reason.
Wang Pu remained silent, never expecting that such a big change would occur.
Wei Renpu cursed loudly. He had a strong personality and hated ministers who betrayed their master the most.
Throughout history, he often scolded Zhao Kuangyin...
Xiang Xun just sighed slightly and didn't say anything. He was no longer surprised.
Shi Shouxin and Han Chongyun had the most complicated expressions. They and Zhao Kuangyin were brothers from the charity society. Although there was some friction and estrangement, they still cherished each other's friendship.
If the words had not come from the mouths of Luo Youdu and Zhang Yongde, they would never have been able to accept this reality.
Luo Youdu looked at Wang Pu and Wei Renpu and said: "The two prime ministers must have known what happened. Next, it is necessary to mobilize all the power of the imperial army to deal with Zhao Kuangyin's rebellion."
Wang Pu will not hesitate.
Wei Renpu even said: "We must capture and kill the leader of the thieves and tell the world."
Luo Youdu did not respond and said to Zhang Yongde: "The Prince Consort, the Front Division, the Royal Camp Division, and the Guards and Military Division are all three divisions. There may be friction in normal times. But on the battlefield, after all, it is the brothers Paoze who can be trusted to support them.
I really can't bear to do anything to my brother... I will set up an encirclement and surround Zhao Kuangyin. I wonder if the prince-in-law can take the risk and tell the former secretary the truth so that they will not associate with the traitors. This move will have certain risks.
, I can only try my best to ensure the safety of the consort."
Zhao Kuangyin is a tiger-bear general, unparalleled in the world. He has 20,000 strong troops in his hands. If he really wants to break through, it will be extremely difficult to kill him.
Moreover, Zhao Kuangyin was very popular in the army. Even in this situation, Luo Youdu was not sure whether they would let him go during the pursuit.
For example, people like Zhang Yongde, Han Lingkun, Shi Shouxin, Han Chongyun and even Gao Huaide.
You can't fight hard, you can only divide and outwit.
Luo Youdu knew very well how powerful Zhao Kuangyin was, and he did not intend to leave a way for him to survive under any circumstances and create another powerful enemy for himself.
Zhang Yongde didn't hesitate for a moment and said: "I don't want to see my roommates fighting each other either."
Shi Shouxin said: "I'll go too!"
Han Chongyun always followed the lead of his big brother, so he also said: "Count me in!"
Luo Youdu nodded to them, and then said to Han Tong who had returned: "Commander Bu, you immediately mobilize the soldiers and horses of the Guards and Military Division with the troop deployment order to Chenqiaoyi and set up defenses along Caozhou."
Han Tongtong: "I'll go right away!"
Luo Youdu looked at Xiang Xun and said: "Master Xiang, you are General Taizu Yuancong. Please calm down the mood of the generals in the capital and explain the relationship to them. Now that the emperor and empress are trapped in the hands of thieves, and they rashly attack the imperial city, I'm afraid
If someone can persuade the generals in the city to open the door, it will be a great achievement. For the generals in the imperial city, who are above the fourth rank, someone can intercede for the Majesty and the Queen on their behalf. For those who are below the fourth rank,
Be granted the title of Marquis and rewarded heavily."
Luo Youdu did not explain the rescue of Queen Fu and several princes.
Fu Yanqing went to Beijing with soldiers and armor without obeying the imperial edict, and was guilty of conspiracy.
Moreover, Luo Youdu believes that even Wei Renpu and Xiang Xun have certain doubts in their hearts.
It's just that the current situation points to Zhao Kuangyin, but if they really want to show that they have prepared everything in advance, it will inevitably be self-defeating.
It's Fu Yanqing's business to tell the lies. They will definitely show up tomorrow. Luo Youdu just pretends they don't know anything.
Xiang Xun's eyes lit up and he understood the cleverness of it. He smiled and said, "I'll set off now."
From the beginning to the present, Luo Youdu has been making all the decisions.
He did not consult anyone for their opinions and gave orders all by himself.
But no one from Wang Pu to Wei Renpu to Shi Shouxin or Han Chongyun thought there was any problem.
**********
The Zhou military camp on the south bank of the Yellow River.
After receiving the order, Cao Bin and Pan Mei took action immediately.
They couldn't find suitable wood this night. The general's grain carts surrounded the camp. They dug directly into the ground to take soil and covered it on the carts to serve as earth walls. The holes dug in the ground served as traps...
Both Cao Bin and Pan Mei are famous generals. Compared with history, they accumulated experience and developed naturally.
After Luo Youdu's brainwashing to expand the territory, Cao Bin and Pan Mei are now full of ambitions, self-disciplined early, devoted themselves to studying military affairs, and their abilities are far better than themselves at the same time in history.
In the absence of conditions, the two cooperated with each other and each found a way.
Based on the existing conditions, a simple set of fortifications was built on the ground.
At three o'clock in the morning, just before dawn.
Zhao Kuangyin, Wang Shenqi, and Luo Yanyu were lying on the ground, looking at the military camp ahead.
Looking at the heavily guarded military camp, Zhao Kuangyin clenched his fists unconsciously and grabbed a handful of soil.
Luo Yanxuan said: "It seems that we can attack the southeast."
Wang Shenqi frowned and said, "This is a trap. It must have been left on purpose."
Zhao Kuangyin pondered for a moment and said, "I'm going to Beihan, will you come with me?"
Luo Yanxuan said without hesitation: "I will follow the commander to the death."
Wang Shenqi said: "Let's go together!"
Zhao Kuangyin nodded and said: "Okay, we will go south later and pretend to go to the south of the Yangtze River. When we get to the vicinity of Songzhou, we will cross to the west and go north along Songshan Mountain. We may encounter obstacles from the guards and military divisions on the way, so try to follow me.
If we get separated, we will meet up in the Northern Han Dynasty."
Luo Yanxuan was surprised: "Why go around in a circle?"
Zhao Kuangyin gritted his teeth and said: "Based on what I know about Luo Youdu, he must have arranged naval forces in the Bian River in the west. The pontoon bridge on the Yellow River will not be left to us, so there is no need to waste time. Han Tong has the ability, but lacks prestige to do it.
Like Luo Youdu, he was like a master. He didn't arrange the encirclement in the south so quickly. Going south was the only way to survive..."
