Chapter 4 Soldiers approaching the city

ps: Insert a piece of news. The country name in the previous article was "Qian". Today a book friend reminded me that Qian Chaoyin was waiting for the previous dynasty. It was very embarrassing, so it was specially changed to "Yu".

Bianjing Zhangzhai.

Luo Youdu left the palace for the first time after he ascended the throne, and his purpose was the Prince Consort's Mansion, which gave Zhang Yongde great face.

Seeing that the original plaque of the Prince Consort's Mansion has been taken down and replaced by the simple Zhang's Residence.

Zhang Yongde naturally went out of his house to greet him in person.

Luo Youdu did not pretend to be an emperor, and affectionately called him "the emperor's consort".

After arriving in the hall, after a short chat, Luo Youdu talked about the current situation: "Shizong died of illness, Zhao Kuangyin and Fan Zhi rebelled, and Zhou Si lived in northern Xinjiang, coerced by barbarians, and even more humiliated and humiliated, causing turmoil in the Central Plains and unrest in all directions. .I don’t have enough reliable generals in my hands, so I would like to ask my consort to come out and serve as the commander of the capital of Jingnan. What do you think of my consort?”

Zhang Yongde had been hanging out in the temple for many years. As soon as Luo Youdu came to the door, he knew the purpose of his visit. He had already thought of an excuse, and without thinking about it, he blurted out: "The common people are now free of clouds and wild cranes..."

ha?

Jingnan is deployed!

Zhang Yongde was halfway through his words when he suddenly came to his senses and said loudly without any hesitation: "Thanks to your majesty's respect, I am willing to help your majesty solve your problems and accept this heavy responsibility."

His words were full of smiles.

Luo Youdu added: "This Jingzhou is located in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River, in the west of the Jianghan Plain, bordering the Yangtze River to the south, Hanshui River to the north, controlling Bashu to the west, and Xiangling to the south. It needs to face three-thirds of the enemy. If you are brave, you will be brave, and you will be brave. Not enough. I feel that this position belongs to no other than the Prince Consort."

Zhang Yongde's eyes sparkled and he said quickly: "I will never disappoint His Majesty's high expectations."

Casually chatting with Zhang Yongde about the situation, Luo Youdu discovered that Zhang Yongde had his own opinions on the current situation.

Zhang Yongde said: "Most of the thieves in the four directions are defeated generals, so there is nothing to fear. If you want to fight, fight the strongest. The weak will look forward and backward due to lack of strength, and will not dare to move because of the power. On the contrary, it will not be beneficial to fight the weak and win. The power is increased. If the opponent resists stubbornly, our army will not be able to win for a while, but the power will be weakened."

Luo Youdu praised: "My consort and I have the same view of heroes! In this battle, we must not pick on the weak, but go straight to the strongest."

After seeing Luo Youdu out, Zhang Yongde walked into the study step by step with a sullen face, closed the door, immediately twisted the corners of his mouth, jumped up and danced like a child.

After thinking for a while, Zhang Yongde strode out of the study and said loudly: "Old Jia, you go to the market and pick a black pig for me. Forget it, I'll go by myself!"

Luzhou.

Li Jun had just received the envoy from Khitan and quietly sent him out of the government office. He was a little flustered and couldn't make up his mind.

Li Jun actually didn't have much ambition, nor did he want to rebel.

But he has been really frustrated these past few years.

The dignified feudal officials and local governors only have military and financial power, and have no autonomy in arranging local officials.

What is this thing called?

Moreover, there was also a supervisor in the army, Zhou Guangxun. Li Jun disliked Zhou Guangxun no matter how he looked at him, and wanted to kill him several times.

In fact, Guo Rong still respected Li Jun, a veteran Jiedu warlord. The local supervisory army only had the power of supervision and had no real power at all, so it could not affect Li Jun at all.

Guo Rong's intention was to give Li Jun a warning not to do any evil when he was stationed abroad.

Just like this, Li Jun was extremely dissatisfied and often missed Taizu Guo Wei's benevolence.

In fact, this kind of kindness is indulgence. It is true that Guo Wei is also a wise master, but he seeks stability, so he treats the arrogant and powerful generals under his command with a conniving attitude.

One side can do whatever they want, and the other side can make laws like a mountain.

An old warlord like Li Jun naturally likes the former.

Li Jun called his son Li Shoujie and his confidant Lu Qiu Zhongqing to discuss matters together.

Li Jun opened his mouth and said: "The Khitans just sent an envoy!"

Li Shoujie and Lu Qiu Zhongqing were shocked.

Li Shoujie exclaimed: "Father, are you going to rebel?"

Li Jun said angrily: "It's not that dad wants to rebel, it's Luo Youdu who forces dad to rebel. Dad thought that Emperor Guo's death would mean the death of the emperor, so he discussed with Luo Youdu to restore the power that the Jiedushi should have. As a result, within a few days, he

When I became emperor, he knew what I wanted. But he only gave me the title of Zhongshu Ling, making it clear that he did not intend to restore the power that Jiedushi had. If he continues to be emperor, his life may be lost.

.”

Li Shoujie said: "Commander Father, no, how can we with the troops of a few cities stop the power of the whole country in the Central Plains?"

Lu Qiu Zhongqing also said: "I hope the commander will think twice. Lang Jun's words are not unreasonable. Now the Central Plains has made countermeasures. Guo Tingwei was sent to guard Zezhou, and Shi Shouxin was stationed in Weizhou. We have the opportunity.

If you fail, raising your troops to rebel is like seeking your own death."

Li Jun said with some excitement: "What if there is more than just me waiting for a military horse?"

Luqiu Zhongqing said: "It won't work if you add the troops from Hedong. As for the Khitan, unless they are willing to invade in a large scale. I think it is unlikely. They have just experienced a major defeat of the rebellion. How can they have the strength to launch a large-scale attack?"

Li Jun asked: "What if Dingnan is added? What about Bashu and Jiangnan?"

Li Shoujie and Lu Qiu Zhongqing looked at each other. If this is the case, it is not hopeless.

Li Shoujie knelt on the ground and said: "Father, we are the people of the Central Plains after all, foreigners of the Khitan. We came to the Central Plains many years ago and the evil deeds we committed are still vivid in our minds. I know that my father is wronged, but once we decide to fight with him,

The Khitan conspired, regardless of victory or defeat, they will definitely be infamy for thousands of years, just like Shi Jingtang back then."

Li Jun was a little hesitant at first, but when Li Shoujie and Lu Qiu Zhongqing said this, he became even more confused and agitated.

After all, this is a matter of family life. As for his posthumous name, a military commander like him doesn't care at all.

Hesitating until nightfall, Li Jun was still unable to make a decision. He wanted to sleep, but had no intention of sleeping, so he lay on the bed tossing and turning.

Sudden!

Li Jun was awakened from his thoughts by a rapid knock on the door.

Li Jun shouted: "What are you doing calling the soul?"

He was already irritable, so he rushed out of the bedroom wearing single clothes and exposing his bare legs.

When he saw his son Li Shoujie coming out of the house, he looked panicked and hurriedly retracted his fist and cursed: "Why are you panicking? Could it be that the Central Plains is coming?"

Li Shouxin nodded and said: "Shi Shouxin is leading the army just outside Luzhou City. I would like to ask my father to see me."

Li Jun was furious, "Damn it, I haven't rebelled yet! Does this bastard still want to change the world? When I led the troops to fight, this little kid was still playing with urine and mud. He forgot that I led him to fight in the past.

?His title of Shi Gandang was given to him by me."

Li Jun came to the city tower angrily. Hundreds of torches outside the city reflected the densely packed army.

Shi Shouxin is at the forefront of the army.

Seeing this, Li Jun shouted: "You Shi DaDa, what do you want to do?"

Shi Shouxin ignored him, but shouted: "Li Shuai, His Majesty is here, please open the city to welcome him."

When Li Jun first heard this, his expression changed drastically.

There were discussions and uproar from all directions.

In the darkness, the soldiers behind Shi Shouxin made way for a passage.

Luo Youdu, wearing imperial Mingguang armor and a yellow cloak, rode a tall and handsome white horse step by step to the front of the army.

Looking at Li Jun on the tower, Luo Youdu said loudly: "Could it be that Marshal Li asked me to keep my head raised to talk to you?"

Li Jun was at a loss and had no idea what to do.

Luo Youdu actually came to the front line without knowing it?

Regicide?

Li Jun was completely unprepared mentally.

Li Shoujie pulled his father, but when he saw that he didn't respond at all, he didn't care anymore and shouted directly: "Open the city gate and welcome His Majesty Wan Sheng!"

Hearing Li Shoujie's shouting, the surrounding soldiers shouted: "Your Majesty is victorious!"

Imperial power still has a certain degree of deterrence in such special times.

Li Jun had no choice now, so he quickly walked down the city gate. When the city gate opened, Li Jun, Li Shoujie, and Lu Qiu Zhongqing all came out of Luzhou to greet him.

"Your Majesty, Li Jun, leads Li Shoujie and Lu Qiu Zhongqing to pay homage to Your Majesty."

Luo Youdu got off his horse and helped Li Jun up, saying: "I have heard for a long time that the commander in chief is a famous general in the world. When I see him today, he is indeed very powerful."

The strongest!

Which country is the strongest in this era?

There is no doubt that it is Khitan.

In order to defeat the Khitan, we must first pass the two hurdles of Li Jun and the Northern Han Dynasty.

It's easy to say that the Northern Han Dynasty can be beaten to death. After all, he is the son-emperor of the Khitan.

But Li Jun and Luo Youdu did not want to sit back and watch him rebel like he did against the Song Dynasty in history.

Regardless of the reason, soon after the emperor ascended the throne, his ministers rebelled, which was a challenge to the authority of the new emperor.

Even if it is suppressed, it will still be the same.

Therefore, Luo Youdu mobilized troops to Zezhou and Weizhou, ostensibly to defend Li Jun and warn Li Jun, but the actual purpose was to quickly attack the city.

As for Luo Youdu, he took a boat directly out of Bianjing, rushed along the Yellow River to Weizhou, and went north to Luzhou with Shi Shouxin.

Historically, Li Jun looked down on Zhao Kuangyin. When receiving the envoys from the Song Dynasty, he specially took out a portrait of Guo Wei, cried and humiliated the envoys from the Song Dynasty.

Even so, it took him several months to make up his mind.

This should be even more true now.

After all, this rebellion cannot be decided on a whim.

Luo Youdu's purpose was to personally force him to surrender before he made a decision.

If he doesn't surrender, we can fight him early or late.

Instead of waiting for Li Jun to discuss with the Northern Han, Khitan, Dingnan Army and other people and then passively fight back, it would be better to strike first.

Li Jun looked at the young new king of the Central Plains in front of him, sighed in admiration and bowed again: "Your Majesty is wise and powerful, and the sinner Li Jun apologizes to your Majesty."

Luo Youdu said magnanimously: "What crime is the commander-in-chief guilty of? You have guarded the border for many years and are powerful in Hedong. A few days ago, you even captured Liaozhou. Cheng is a rare general in our court. I want to fulfill Shizong's wish and destroy Hedong."

The commander-in-chief of the Han Dynasty has been at war with the Liu family in Hedong for many years and has a deep understanding of them. Please gather your troops and horses and come with me to fight!"

Li Jun said loudly: "I am willing to listen to your Majesty's arrangements!"

He said that he directly asked Li Shoujie and Lu Qiu Zhongqing to go into the city and mobilize their troops.

He himself stood motionless in front of Luo Youdu, pledging his body as a pledge.

Luo Youdu nodded slightly with satisfaction.

This kind of general from the Five Dynasties is the most knowledgeable, no matter how angry he was before or how indignantly he wanted to fight for his own interests.

Once the overall situation is stable, we will no longer mess around and give in willingly.
