On August 20th, the sixth year of Qianfu, Shao Shude had just finished a day of training when Chen Cheng came.
"General, I have met Qiu Jianjun." Chen Chengfu said as soon as he sat down: "The envoy said that he was not familiar with Li Fenggao and had not heard about the plan to move the prison to the river. However, he soon sent someone to the capital to inquire about the news.
I believe there will be a response in a few days. The envoy also specially asked that Li Shuai is a very strong man. If there is a change in Jinyang and things cannot be done, he should be protected and retreated to Zelu. The former Shaanxi and Guo observation envoy Gao Xun has already
If the Supreme Party lasts for a long time, it may be able to provide assistance."
"Since Gao Xun has been in town for many days, why don't we see Shangdang's troops coming to Jinyang?" Shao Shude walked around the barracks impatiently. Moving the prison to the river was a major event that he and Qiu Weidao had planned for a long time. If this matter failed,
Where else can we go? Zhaoyi Town cannot, Datong Town cannot, Zhenwu Army has no interest, so only Xia Sui Town can be chosen. However, there are 37 counties in the four prefectures of Hezhong, and only 14 counties in the four prefectures of Xia Sui.
There is Pingxia Dangxiang, so there is a huge gap, okay?
How about killing Li Fenggao? As soon as this idea came into his mind, Shao Shude suddenly became alert. Unknowingly, he actually considered the problem from the perspective of a rebellious warrior. The ancients said that he should examine himself three times a day, which is indeed a wise saying.
That's all, let Qiu Shijun take care of this matter. He is not familiar with Li Fenggao, so he is probably not a godfather. The factors of this competition are much more complicated. Even if he kills Li Fenggao, he may not be able to achieve his wish. Now think about it, at the beginning
I was so focused on going to Hezhong that I didn’t think about what to do if I failed. It’s impossible for everything in the world to go as planned. My own fortune was already dizzyingly fast. So what if I couldn’t go to Hezhong? Tielin was there, so the lower limit was
Guaranteed.
In the worst case, just go to Xia Sui. Tielin Du Formation beheaded Cheng Huaixin. This achievement is real. Qiu Shijun will then go to Xia Sui to serve as the supervisor of the army, and he will have a Zhizhou Town General Dangdang, one internal and one external, which is quite good.
Later, I will think of ways to go further and become the governor of Xia Sui Yinyou. There is the Yellow River in the east, Hengshan Mountain in the south, desert in the north, and the Wuding River system for irrigation. In the west, I will take Lingzhou. I can attack, retreat or defend.
Isn’t the boss’s situation a happy one?
At this time, he inexplicably thought of the young lady of the Zhe family. In fact, Song Le was right. If he was based on Xia Sui, then asking to marry the daughter of the Zhe family would be a coup. At the critical moment, he might be able to provide him with the power to compete for power in the town.
A powerful help. But this is a matter for the future, and the matter of Daibei in front of us is even more serious.
"Mr. Chen, Yi Zhao was defeated by Li Keyong in the Battle of Tuoshui half a month ago. It is said that he suffered heavy losses. Li Keyong marched in with his army and looted Xin Dai continuously. Urgent official letters from all over the place poured into the commander's house like snowflakes.
People in the three cities of Jinyang are panicked and rumors are spreading. What do you think about this matter?" Shao Shude decided not to worry about the matter between Hezhong and Xia Sui, and told Chen Cheng about another major event.
“It’s a bit too much for the generals of Hedong to act like this,” Chen Cheng said sharply.
Shao Shude nodded, understanding his voice-over. Li Guochang and his son had been fighting on the Daizhou front for a year, and there was no major progress at all. In the end, they themselves gave up on this most convenient way to Jinyang——
Along the Guituo River all the way south, the basin has developed agriculture and a large population, making it easy to raise grain and grass.
But as soon as Li Kan killed two generals, he asked for reinforcements from the Daibei front line. Yi Zhao, who was sent to reinforce, also lost his troops and lost his generals. He did not dare to fight again, so he just sat back and watched Li Keyong's cavalry go deep into Xinzhou and plunder the countryside. This is no longer a simple act of rebellion.
It can be described that they simply took military and national affairs as a trivial matter and used Xin as a hostage on behalf of the people of the two states to force Li Kan to take the step they hoped for.
"This is not easy to handle." Shao Shude and Chen Cheng said together: "The rebels went south to plunder, and when the court heard about it, they would definitely issue an order. It might not matter once or twice, but what about three or five times? Li Shuai might not be able to withstand it.
."
“Can you choose suitable soldiers and horses for the northern expedition?” Chen Cheng asked again.
"The Hedong Army is unreliable and can only be a guest army. In fact, if Gao Xun leads the Shangdang Army, what if the Zhongwu Army and the Rebel Army inside and outside the city are handed over to him? There are more than 10,000 troops in total.
, go north to urge all the ministries to fight to the death, and it is not a problem to repel or even defeat Li Guochang and his son." Shao Shude slammed the table and sighed: "It's a pity that the master of the Shangdang has not yet arrived."
It sounds a bit ironic to say this, but it is indeed the truth. Now I really can’t believe Sergeant Hedong. These people’s record of mutiny is so bad that it’s a headache. The Jinyang generals are not reliable either. They may be planning secretly.
If he wants to kill Li Kan, he must at least drive him away - no, this is almost certain.
Chen Cheng was also sighing at this time. But he quickly thought of something, and after a moment of hesitation, he said: "Is it feasible if Zhang Yanqiu is allowed to command the army?"
"Zhang Yanqiu may not be willing to get involved in this mess. Wouldn't it be better for him to wait and see what happens?" Shao Shude thought for a while and said: "Besides, I can't guarantee Zhang Yanqiu's position. If the recommendation is wrong,
The army has not even reached Wuchengyi, but they have rebelled against me. Where will they leave me, and where will they leave the general?"
Now Chen Cheng has nothing to say. Indeed, everyone must avoid such a mess. As long as Zhang Yanqiu still wants to continue working in Hedong, he will not break up with other generals. At most, he will be neutral and not help each other.
It's already pretty good.
“Forget it, it’s useless to think so much. It’s been three months since I started serving as a teacher in Bei. Mr. Chen, how do you feel about Tielindu now?” Shao Shude asked.
"It's a bit impressive." Chen Cheng thought carefully, as if comparing it with the strong soldiers in other Fang towns in his memory, and then cupped his hands and said: "General, he is indeed a well-trained soldier, with high morale, and is brave and good at fighting.
We also have all the equipment. If we face the same number of Hedong troops in a frontal field battle, it will not be difficult to win."
"Sir, I still have something to say." Shao Shude pointed at Chen Cheng with a smile and laughed at himself: "The soldiers are all good soldiers and their morale is high enough, but I am not that qualified as a general. At least, if Li Shuai
I dare not lead an army of 10,000 to the north of Daizhou. It would be a small thing to take my own life, but I would really feel sorry for causing the deaths of so many innocent soldiers. Now, if I die, I will only know how to fight in a stronghold.
Just a mediocre general."
“The general is too humble. Who else in the world can achieve so much at this age and command so many soldiers and horses?”
"Li Keyong..." Shao Shude sighed.
Chen Cheng was also speechless. This man was really an anomaly. He was only 23 years old, but he could command tens of thousands of troops and win battles. In addition to his father's officer corps who supported him, and Zhu Xie's family in Shatuo Sanbu
In addition to his appeal, Li Keyong's own ability is also beyond doubt. Alas, is there really anyone who knows this from birth?
After parting with Chen Cheng, Shao Shude took Li Yanling and Lu Huaizhong to the commander's mansion to discuss matters. After finishing their work, he met Li Shao, the deputy envoy of supply and demand in Hedong, on the way back. In the past few months, he had been taking good care of Tielindu, and the relationship between the two
Not bad, so Shao Shude took the initiative to come forward and greet him.
“Oh, I didn’t expect to meet General Shao, but you’re here to have a banquet with an old man like me?” Li Shao burst out laughing as soon as he met him. After speaking, he glanced at He’s Mansion, which was not far away.
Shao Shude didn't expect to be near He Mansion. Hearing this, he laughed and said, "Since the envoy said so, I'll invite you."
There are now only a dozen servants in the He Mansion, all of whom were recently hired by Li Yanling to cook for the sergeants guarding the mansion. When Shao Shude and Li Shao entered the mansion, the kitchen was already empty, so they had no choice but to let people make tea.
.
“General Shao, I heard a bad statement.” Li Shao was not here to have a drink. Seeing that the backyard was deserted, he said as soon as he sat down.
“Your Majesty, please speak.”
“I heard rumors in the army that Kang Chuangui, the general of Shiling Town, might send Shatuo soldiers into Taiyuan to force Li Shuai.”
"Is Kang Chuangui crazy?" Shao Shude was also very surprised when he heard this, and then became furious. This is because he does not take the people of Hedong seriously. He is doing it for his own selfish interests, just like Zhang and Guo.
While he was annoyed, a woman came over with a tea set. Shao Shude glanced at it, and was about to look away and continue talking, but he unconsciously took another look: oval face, big eyes, fair skin; wearing loose high-rise clothes.
The waist skirt has a plump and straight chest. When Shao Shude bends down to pour tea, he can see the perfect upward arc of the skirt.
But these are not the key. What surprised him the most was the generous, dignified, and quiet temperament displayed by this woman, and she also had a bit of pitifulness and sadness, which made people feel quite moved. Who is this woman? Shao Shude will ask
Inquiring eyes turned to Li Yanling.
“This is He Gongya’s wife.” Li Yanling replied.
"Didn't you ask her to remarry in the first place?" The words rushed to his lips. Shao Shude swallowed them back and said stiffly: "That's it. He Gongya was a general during his lifetime. Since Mrs. He lives here, there must be no shortage of expenses.
.In addition, select reliable soldiers to guard the backyard so that no one is disturbed."
Li Yanling nodded yes.
Shao Shude glanced at Mr. He Zhao who was slowly leaving again, and then he felt that it was time to continue talking about business, so he asked: "Where did you talk about just now?"
"Ahem..." Li Shao cleared his throat and said, "General Shao still needs to inform Li Shuai to make plans in advance."
