Liu Chengyou naturally thought of the "Battle of Gaoping", a famous battle that played a pivotal and significant role in the history of the "Five Dynasties" war, and even affected the course of history.

His eyes fell on Guo Rong, who looked ordinary and had a serious expression in front of him, and Liu Chengyou's thoughts couldn't help drifting away.

At that time, it was the "Zhou Shizong" in front of him, who had just ascended the throne, the government was unstable, the people's hearts were not attached, and when Liu Chong of the Northern Han Dynasty united with the Khitan army, the two sides of the 100,000 coalition troops went south, and the momentum was violent, wanting to destroy the Later Zhou.

It can be said that under the internal and external troubles, Guo Rongli overrode public opinion, decided to go to the north to fight. In Gaoping, he braved the edge and went to supervise the battle, defeated first and then won, and won a great victory in Gaoping.

In that Gaoping battle, Guo Rong almost took the risk of Zhou Guoyun, and if he lost, he would be in danger of losing the country, but Guo Rong won the bet. A hearty victory opened the "prosperous era of virtue" in the Later Zhou Dynasty, Guo Rong began his great cause of "thirty years of peace", and Zhao Kuangyin also rose in the forbidden army in front of the palace.

Of course, that battle was not a purely military adventure, and Guo Rong considered many factors. But that kind of situation, that kind of pressure, that kind of determination, that kind of generosity and pride, that kind of determination to face up to the difficulties...... Compared with Guo Rong's courage and courage, he is hesitant at this time, looking forward and backward, and he is inferior.

Looking at Guo Rong in front of him, Liu Chengyou seemed to be able to feel his strong and strong personality and firm and fearless will under his ordinary appearance.

Retracting his gaze and taking a deep breath, Liu Chengyou turned to Han Tong, who was still standing in the hall: "What do you think?" ”

Han Tong obviously didn't expect Liu Chengyou to ask his opinion for such a small person, so he was stunned for a moment, and clenched his fists very decisively: "If Your Highness gives the order to attack, the last general is willing to charge for Your Highness!" ”

Hearing Hantong's statement, Liu Chengyou's expression returned to normal, and he was vaguely relieved. He realized that he couldn't fight, but he had people under his command who could fight. Zhang Yanwei, Ma Quanyi, Murong Yanzhao, and even the two commanders of the Second and Third Armies, plus Li Wanchao, really don't need to scruple to this extent.

Thinking about it like this, Liu Chengyou's thinking was also clear, and when he thought of the prospect of breaking the Khitan army in a war, he still couldn't help but move. However, even with that little impulse, Liu Chengyou still did not have a hot head, and directly ordered to march south.

Again, fighting a war is not child's play. Although it is now a confidant and a little bit of the other, the winning rate should be higher, but it has not yet reached the point of victory.

After only thinking for a while, Liu Chengyou's tone added a bit of obvious boldness, and Chao Han Tong ordered: "Han Tong, you rest in the city for a while, and then lead the cavalry to the south, kill the enemy scouts for me, and probe the enemy!" ”

Hearing the order, Han Tong's spirit shook slightly, his eyes widened, and he said directly: "Your Highness, you don't need to rest, the last general will take someone there immediately!" ”

Liu Chengyou was satisfied with his fighting spirit, and said in his mouth: "After days and nights of running around to investigate, I am already a tired soldier. Even if you can bear it, you have to consider the soldiers below. When you have recuperated your spirit and recovered your strength, it will be convenient for you to kill the enemy! ”

Liu Chengyou's words were plain, but Han Tong had some emotion in his heart, and he bowed respectfully and retreated.

"Your Highness, is this the plan?" At this time, Zhang Yanwei asked tentatively.

"Knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent, a hundred battles will not be defeated, now I know the enemy, and the enemy does not know me, there is no reason to lose the battle, why not fight!" After making a decision, Liu Chengyou threw away all the hesitations in his heart and said calmly: "However, how to fight this battle must be discussed carefully!" ”

Hearing Liu Chengyou say this, Guo Rong suddenly came to his senses, thought about Liu Chengyou's arrangement, and asked with his eyebrows: "What are your Royal Highness's plans?" ”

Liu Chengyou said directly: "Isn't Geng Chongmei going to come to Luzhou to take office, we are waiting for him in the party." Now, the soldiers of the Longqi Army have arrived, and the party is 'in danger', and Zhao Xingqian and the Khitan envoy should also quickly ask the Khitan people for ......help."

Liu Chengyou's words were full of cunning. Zhang Yanwei couldn't react for a while, and asked a little confused: "Haven't Zhao Xingqian and the others been killed?" How to ask for help, why to ask for help? ”

"Your Highness, is this trying to lure Geng Chong's US troops to the Supreme Party and then annihilate them?" Guo Rong asked.

Liu Chengyou said lightly: "Gaoping is hundreds of miles away from the party, and our army is going south, so it is better to let it come north, wait for work at ease, and attack it with the momentum of victory." ”

"Fortunately, after taking possession of the party, the whole city was under martial law. We are moving quickly, the news should not have spread yet, and Geng Chongmei is unlikely to know! Xiang Xun took the initiative to say something at this time, and explained the key point in one sentence.

Liu Chengyou nodded: "Send someone south immediately to find Geng Chongmei for help!" At that time, if Han Tong leads people to scare the snake to prove it, I want to see what choice Geng Chongmei will make! ”

"I'm afraid it's difficult for ordinary people to do this task. Your Highness, please be the messenger this time! Xiang Xun took the initiative to ask Liu Chengyou for his life.

Liu Chengyou shook his head: "You can't!" ”

"Why?"

Seeing that Xiang Xun was not convinced, Liu Chengyou said: "You Xiang Xun, at first glance, you are not a mortal!" In this matter, you have to find a loyal and reliable ordinary person! What's more, the enemy camp is not as good as the party, and I am reluctant for you to take this risk to the Xingmin. ”

After that, Liu Chengyou summoned a personal guard and gave an order. In terms of loyalty and reliability, there is no more trustworthy than Liu Chengyou's personal guard.

"Now, it's time for us to motivate the soldiers!" Getting up and breathing a sigh of relief, Liu Chengyou turned his head to look at Guo Rong: "Has the list ever been counted?" ”

How could this little thing stump Guo Rong, even if he gave Liu Chengyou a satisfactory answer.

......

In the Surui barracks, thousands of people in the whole army were gathered in the school yard and lined up in a neat queue under the leadership of officers at all levels. It was an orderly appearance, just looking at the appearance of the army, it can be seen that Li Wanchao has trained this army very well.

In the school field, from the officers to the non-commissioned officers, they all stared at the top of the platform. There were several large chests there, and under the flipped-open lids, there were copper coins one after another.

Li Wanchao stood behind, waved his hands, and proclaimed loudly: "Soldiers, His Royal Highness the prince has mercy on me and other hardships, and the money from the treasury will be specially distributed to reward the ...... of the three armies."

Li Wanchao finished speaking, and seeing the reward in front of him, all the soldiers suddenly burst into cheers. Soon, in the school field, according to the list, the reward money was distributed according to the rank. After the money is in place, it is to kill pigs and sheep, eat and drink, and treat yourself.

When the sergeant Su Rui was happily enjoying Liu Chengyou's reward, the other Luzhou soldiers in Shangdang City were the same, and the money and grain were basically distributed to the people, and there were no "middlemen" at all. Of course, as the Longqi Army, which is a descendant, is of course indispensable, a big sacrifice army, and the Luzhou Treasury has been consumed.

However, the effect is very good. Even if it wasn't for anything else, just rushing for money and food, the soldiers had a good impression of Liu Chengyou. And this reward, in a sense, can also be regarded as a "pulling fee".

"Master, this is sent by Inspector Guo, saying that it is a reward from His Royal Highness!" In the palace of the king of Shangdang, a servant carried a small box and walked diligently to Wang Shouen to report. The portion was not light, and the servant looked struggling.

But when Wang Shouen saw it, he was furious, and knocked over the money box with one hand, and scattered the silver money all over the ground. Wang Shouen paced back and forth, and said angrily: "How can this be reasonable! Outrageous! ”

According to the reward set by Liu Chengyou, there was one ordinary soldier, three captains, five captains, ten heads, twenty battalion commanders, fifty army commanders, and hundreds of them. However, in comparison, the soldiers of the Longqi Army have to be adjusted up.

According to Wang Shouen's level, he can also get a hundred yuan. Of course, a hundred taels of money is not a small amount, but where can it satisfy its gluttonous heart.

According to his thoughts, if Liu Chengyou has a reward, he needs to go out of the treasury and distribute it with him, so that he can make money during this period. It's a pity that Liu Chengyou's approach was too "disappointing" to him.

Wang is now very unhappy. However, he will be even more unhappy next, his command has been deprived by Liu Chengyou......
