Chapter 36: The Pavilion

Luzhou, Yuting, Liu Chengyou led the Longqi army stationed here, has been stationed here for several days. On the same day, the soldiers came to the south and set up camp, which caused Luzhou to shake, and after that, there was no quiet, it seemed that it was stagnant, Liu Chengyou's plan seemed to be a little difficult to understand.

Yuting south Qinlu, Ze, north and Fen, choke the throat of the northern part of the city. The town is a thousand-year-old town, reflecting the civilization of the Three Jin Dynasty, with fertile land and sufficient resources, and has always been rich.

The Longqi army camped outside the town, occupied the surrounding key passes, and assumed a defensive posture. Under Liu Chengyou's strict orders, not a single soldier dared to enter the town without permission, but it was rare to do nothing in autumn.

For a few days, the army stationed outside the town did not act in a way that made the people in the town gradually relax their vigilance. Of course, even if you are wary, you can't luan......

It is rare to see such a disciplined army, and the people in Yuting Town, under the leadership of several elders and Zhenwang, really came to eat pot pulp once to reward the king. Although there are not many things, they are also a part of the hearts of the people in the town, and Liu Chengyou personally accepted them on behalf of the soldiers under his command and distributed them to the battalions.

To this day, hearing the murderous drill sound coming from outside the town on time every day, the people in the town are no longer frightened. At the same time, they also knew that the army outside was a righteous army under the orders of the Son of Heaven, and it was going south to crusade against the Khitan Hukou who bullied and ravaged the Chinese people.

The original town general of Yuting Town, who borrowed Yelu Deguang's "Money Inclusion Order" before, wantonly carried out money collection in Yuting Town, plundering the town's property and goods to enrich himself.

In fact, under the Khitan "money order", it was not only the Khitan army and officials who plundered the people's property. At the same time, the Khitan army was better at fighting grass valleys, which was much easier and faster than "bracketeering". In various prefectures and counties, there are many local officials, military generals, and even bandits who take the opportunity to embezzle people's property, and anyway, all the black pots are thrown to the Khitans.

The envoys sent by Yerod Guang were able to gather in the state city, but they rarely affected the local area. In this respect, in addition to their own crimes, the Khitans also bear the blame for those who take advantage of the opportunity to collect wealth......

Liu Chengyou couldn't take care of it in the distance, but the evil beetle in the place in front of him was directly punished. And he seized the town, counted his crimes, showed the whole town, and killed them according to their crimes, and then raided his mansion, and took his family money for military expenses.

Liu Chengyou's move not only earned an eyeball, but also won a wave of people's hearts, and also won a profit. Of course, the fate of the general of Yuting Town seems a little aggrieved, after all, it is not a person who does it like him, and there are more excessive than him.

However, he was unlucky and happened to bump into Liu Chengyou's hands.

In front of a rather dilapidated ancient pavilion, several figures stood on its side, standing silently. Liu Chengyou was among them, his eyes calmly staring at the ruined pavilion corner in front of him.

The origin of the pavilion should be traced back to the Spring and Autumn Period, when the place name was Tiger Pavilion, the doctor sheep tongue red to this place as an official, with the taboo of "sheep into the tiger's mouth", looking for a suitable place to build a pavilion to town the tiger, and renamed "Pavilion".

According to the people of this town, the remnant pavilion in front of you is the pavilion built by the sheep's tongue in the past. Liu Chengyou didn't believe this statement, he walked around the town and around the town a few times in the past few days, surveyed the terrain, and didn't even see the ruins of such a large building as the Yuqi Palace, and he didn't think that a small ancient pavilion could survive.

"The Tiger of Guting Town, but today's Yuting can't stop my Hedong Tiger Division!" After a while, Liu Chengyou said something, with a little confidence in his faint tone.

"Your Highness is right, now the soldiers of our army are just like tigers out of the cage, screaming, eager to establish meritorious ......careers," Zhang Yanwei was beside him, and immediately echoed.

Liu Chengyou glanced at Zhang Yanwei beside him, who seemed to be a little more blessed, muttered for a while, and asked leisurely: "But why do I think that the morale is a little impetuous?" ”

"This ......," a flash of embarrassment flashed across Zhang Yanwei's face.

At this time, Guo Rong took the initiative to speak: "His Royal Highness has been stationed in Yuting for six days, not advancing, not retreating, strictly restraining the army, and concentrating on training new soldiers. The soldiers below didn't understand His Highness's meaning, so they were naturally unbearable. ”

Liu Chengyou took a few steps forward, sat between the remnant pavilions, and looked at Guo Rong. After a few days, Guo Rong's words were more than at the beginning, and Liu Chengyou asked him to talk about the political and military frequencies.

At the same time, Liu Chengyou found that although Guo Rong was calm and dignified, he was actually a little sullen, and when it came to the topics he was interested in, he was very interested in talking.

"How many days has it been? I was disgusted, how to talk about the army of a hundred refinements. Liu Chengyou said calmly: "Longqi Army, it is still not sharpened!" ”

"Your Highness, Shi Hongzhao has broken through Daizhou, beheaded Wang Hui, and captured the city in triumph. The official family also led the division to Jinyang, only our army went south, and the progress was slow, so I am afraid that others will look down on it! Looking at Liu Chengyou's indifferent face, Zhang Yanwei couldn't help but remind.

After a pause, with annoyance in his tone, he continued: "Then Shi Hongzhao asked the official family for his life, wanting to replace you and march south for the vanguard!" ”

Liu Zhiyuan's scene of "going east to rescue the driver" was finally finished, and the Jin Emperor was expensive, of course, it was impossible to save it. The army led by Liu Zhiyuan did not even come out of Taihang. When he was in Shouyang, Liu Zhiyuan was very "disappointed" to receive that Shi Chonggui's family had already been sent north by the Khitans......

And Shouyang is only 100 kilometers east of Jinyang. However, Liu Zhiyuan's eastward march was not just an armed parade, he easily defeated the Khitan army operating on the edge of Taiyuan Province, and recaptured Tumen (Jingcheng) by the way.

As for Shi Hongzhao, he led his division to the north, went down to Daizhou in a battle, and beheaded Wang Hui. This is not a difficult thing, with Yi as a baht, under Liu Zhiyuan, any general with a little courage can do it.

But Shi Hongzhao didn't have this self-consciousness, as if he had made some immortal achievements, his tail cocked, and he began to point fingers at Liu Chengyou's "Southern March". actually asked Liu Zhiyuan to go south and made a military order to go to Luzhou in five days.

When this news reached the front line, it naturally aroused the dissatisfaction of Zhang Yanwei and others, and they have been a little impatient recently.

Hearing him mention this, Liu Chengyou looked as usual, and he didn't even blink his eyelids. Instead, under Zhang Yanwei's surprised gaze, he looked at Guo Rong: "I am stationed here, and the soldiers below don't understand what they mean, do you understand my plan?" ”

Hearing this, Guo Rong took two steps forward lightly and replied calmly: "The way to use soldiers is to attack the heart and attack the city." Psychological warfare is the top, and military warfare is the bottom. With the current situation in Luzhou, it is not necessarily necessary to take it by force. After returning from the previous training, His Highness sent him out of the camp again...... I'm afraid that I'm ready, and I'm ready to join the party! ”

Looking at Guo Rong, Liu Chengyou was very calm in his heart, after all, "Zhou Shizong", it is not surprising that he can see his intentions, even if Liu Chengyou has never confessed to Luzhou.

And the fact is just as Guo Rong said, from the beginning, Liu Chengyou did not have the heart to fight and attack. Although he is confident that even if he fights a battle, he can capture Luzhou, but if he can go down the whole state, why do he need to use force and lose soldiers and horses.

In the past few days, Liu Chengyou has not done nothing, in addition to the actions of the state city, the nearby three counties of Xiangyuan, Licheng, and Lucheng have quietly offered their sincerity.

"Let's go, go to the Fourth Army......" gave Guo Rong an approving look, Liu Chengyou got up, patted the ash on his buttocks, and walked towards the north first.
