Chapter 206 Zhao Kuangyin led the troops to the south
Compared with Yue Fei's triumphant return to concentrate on farming, Zhao Kuangyin, who was far away in Jinling, had a bit of a torment these days.
If you want to rebel, you don't feel completely sure, whether it is morality or timing, you are all controlled by the little emperor Guo Zongxun.
"Marshal, there must be a master beside Your Majesty."
Since Zhao Pu disappeared from Zhao Kuangyin's side, Shen Yilun has become Zhao Kuangyin's chief strategist.
"Guo Zongxun himself is a master, but he hates me and does not fake me, since he gave birth to me Zhao Kuangyin, why bother to have another Guo Zongxun."
In the military tent, there are only Zhao Kuangyin and Shen Yilun, and Zhao Kuangyin has no scruples when he speaks.
"Today, the marshal's troops have exceeded 200,000, and it is not impossible to completely pacify the Southern Tang Dynasty or even go all the way east to the south to pacify Wu Yue and the Southern Han.
Zhao Kuangyin smacked the handsome case and said angrily:
"Going south, whether it is going south or being difficult to enter, it really makes Zhao Mou difficult to say."
Shen Yilun smiled bitterly:
"If the marshal finds it difficult, then the subordinates will not have the backbone, and the subordinates will have the courage to advise the marshal, even if it is peaceful for the subordinates, it is absolutely impossible to say."
Zhao Kuangyin glared and said:
"Could it be that Mr. Shunyi will change his mind of loyal assistance because of a few complaints from Ben Shuai?"
Facing Zhao Kuangyin's criticism, Shen Yilun said angrily:
"Marshal, before leaving, he repeatedly told his subordinates that he must let his subordinates advise the marshal more, and a group of strategists will plan for the marshal, and the marshal himself must not have the intention of retreating, and his subordinates think that the admonition is unnecessary, the marshal has a firm heart, and there is no need for his subordinates to worry, but the subordinates do not have such a firm heart as the marshal."
Shen Yilun's words are very clear, whether it is against it or not, we are following you Zhao Kuangyin, you Zhao Kuangyin can't help but talk about the difficulty of rebellion, you still want us to have a firm belief in following you to rebel, this is a bit too difficult for us.
Zhao Kuangyin stared at Shen Yilun for a while, then laughed and said:
"Ben Shuai always felt that Mr. Shunyi was not as good as Zeping before, but now it seems that Mr. Shunyi is the one who understands me best."
After speaking, Zhao Kuangyin got up and bowed to Shen Yilun:
"Zhao has been taught, thank you Mr. Shunyi for reminding me."
Shen Yilun hurriedly got up and bowed to Zhao Kuangyin, and said:
"The marshal has lofty ambitions and a firm heart, and his subordinates are willing to follow him to the death."
Zhao Kuangyin stretched out his hand to help Shen Yilun up and said:
"Ben Shuai will not disappoint you."
After showing their loyalty to the monarch and ministers, the two continued to conspire.
"Marshal, now that Yue Fei is still in the court, His Majesty directly divided the Hug Army into pieces and put it in the military reclamation around Kaifeng, even Yue Fei was taken to farm, if the marshal does not continue the southern expedition, I am afraid that His Majesty will also use this method to treat the marshal, and his subordinates suggest that the southern expedition should be carried out as soon as possible."
"The southern expedition is imperative, Mr. Shunyi, you send someone to inform Mr. Zeping that the Yangtze River stretches for hundreds of miles along the Yangtze River, and it is impossible to rely on the Yangtze River to fight against the Great Zhou army, so that he doesn't have to plan for those water bandits, and take people south as soon as possible, it is best to sneak into Nanchang or even Huiji in advance, so as to pave the way for the southern expedition of the Marshal army in advance."
"Subordinates obey."
"The property in Jinling City, all the things that can be moved away, the grain and grass are also removed, these things are best carried out in secret, even if they can't be kept secret, but they must not make too much movement."
"The marshal is actually more worried, since the marshal left Kaifeng, His Majesty's precautions against the marshal have begun, before we lost the opportunity, just captured Jinling was taken by His Majesty, now I have understood His Majesty's thoughts, want to prevent, it is not impossible, the property and grain in Jinling City, the subordinates think that the generous transport is it, the marshal and His Majesty This is a game, only a layer of window paper, whoever pierces first will lose the first hand, the subordinates believe that even if Your Majesty knows about it, it is helpless."
"Sir is really scheming, this is indeed a game between Ben Shuai and His Majesty, it depends on whose means are more clever."
"The subordinates also suggested that the army left behind in Jinling should leave only the old, weak, sick and disabled soldiers, and tell them that His Majesty will never treat them badly."
Since Zhao Pu left temporarily, Shen Yilun seems to have broken out in the small universe, and his repeated strategies have given Zhao Kuangyin great confidence.
"Okay, that's it, this southern expedition, in the name of the Great Zhou court, collect a lot of grain and grass, confiscate all horses, and wherever you cross the river, all the boats that can be collected will be collected, and those that can't be taken away will be destroyed on the spot."
"The marshal is wise."
Zhao Kuangyin is also ruthless, since the little emperor, you play with me, morality is supreme, and you always want to seize the commanding heights of morality, then Zhao will play with you.
Since ancient times, if Zhao has become a king, how to write and say this history book is controlled by Zhao.
If he loses, Zhao will not complain, people die like lights go out, and they will admit that they will be left for 10,000 years.
The next day, Zhao Kuangyin was promoted to discuss matters in Jinling City.
"This marshal in accordance with His Majesty's will, the conquest of the Southern Tang Dynasty, now Jinling has been broken, my Great Zhou forbidden army has also rested for a period of time, at this time is the spring ploughing season in various places, it is said that the expedition should not disturb the people, but His Majesty's will, we must obey, all the soldiers, listen to the orders of the general, the army will be drawn in three days, continue the southern expedition."
What Zhao Kuangyin didn't expect was that Guo Zongxun seemed to have seen through all of Zhao Kuangyin's calculations, after Zhao Kuangyin's army was drawn from Jinling, but on the fifth day, Yang Ye led an army of 100,000 to cross the river and enter Jinling.
Guo Zongxun sent all the troops in the camp of the palace front division stationed in Kaifeng, and added some soldiers of the Hanzi army, and 70,000 people of the guard division completely took over the defense of the entire Kaifeng City.
Around Kaifeng, there are hundreds of thousands of Great Zhou Hanzi troops set up camps and reclaimed, and they can throw down their hoes and pick up knives and guns at any time to enter the battle sequence again.
Yang Ye didn't expect that he could be so trusted and valued by the little emperor as a general, so he directly sent an army of 100,000 to himself, and asked him to cross the river south to receive the city attacked by Zhao Kuangyin's army as soon as possible.
Li Chongjin is leading his troops to help Dugusheng exterminate the water bandits along the Yangtze River, and their main destination is the mouth of the Yangtze River.
Since Guo Zongxun drew a big pie for Li Chongjin, to build a big Shanghai that can accommodate tens of millions of people on both sides of the Yangtze River estuary, Li Chongjin is now full of longing that after the completion of the big Shanghai, he will have enough capital and strength to divide one side.
The materials needed for the construction of Greater Shanghai, and the silver money allocated by the little emperor from the internal funds, were all spent in an orderly manner according to the plan, and there were clear requirements that each expenditure should have a detailed account.
To this end, Guo Zongxun also specially transferred officials who were good at managing accounts from the household department to form the financial management group of the Greater Shanghai Construction.
What is this big Shanghai Construction Financial Management Group, Li Chongjin doesn't know, and he doesn't care, as long as the little emperor doesn't send someone to take over his position, he, as the boss here, doesn't do whatever he wants.
However, will the little emperor Guo Zongxun let Li Chongjin get his wish?
