Chapter 90: Veterans Available
The curtain was lifted, and the icy winter wind took the opportunity to pour in, sending a wave of damp cold from Huaishui, and Wang Jun couldn't help but shudder. After coming back from the words of the Son of Heaven, I looked up and saw that there was still Liu Chengyou's figure, only the curtain remained, still shaking slightly.
Seeing this scene, Wang Jun's expression was extremely gloomy. In the tent, there was also Zhang Dejun, who quietly stepped forward and picked up the music that Liu Chengyou had left behind.
"Wang Dushuai." Zhang Dejun maintained respect for Wang Jun.
Seeing this delicate chamberlain, staring at the two impeachment notes in his hand, a wave of anger surged into his heart, Wang Jun wanted to tear them up, and then threw them on Zhang Dejun's face fiercely to vent the dissatisfaction in his heart.
However, he finally held back and threw it in Zhang Dejun's hand, Wang Jun snorted coldly and walked away. Also looking at his back, Zhang Dejun smiled faintly, as if sarcastic, and then carefully put the music away, sorted it out, and withdrew respectfully.
From beginning to end, Liu Chengyou did not communicate with Wang Jun on the issue of military power and command. There is no need, it is easier than he imagined, when the royal driver is here, the Son of Heaven is now in front of the soldiers, Liu Chengyou is the only commander, and there is no chance for Wang Jun to play his majesty.
In fact, Liu Chengyou came to Xia Cai in a hurry to seize power. Hearing Wang Jun's movements in a hurry to get down to Shouchun a few days ago, Liu Chengyoujin ordered an edict to stop military operations, which was also for this purpose. If the soldiers are approaching the city, in front of the enemy, Liu Chengyou will not dare to make a big move.
Of course, the goal is reached. Facts have also proved that Liu Chengyou's rectification and transformation of the forbidden army over the years have been successful, and he, the son of heaven, is not rootless, and his prestige in the army, not to mention the sky, can also be regarded as the rising sun.
Although Liu Chengyou was already very dissatisfied with Wang Jun, after a little disclosure, there was no more action. Wang Jun is still the commander of the capital, but he has become the capital of the Huainan camp, and the difference of one word has greatly changed in nature.
The Son of Heaven personally pawns soldiers and horses, and the gold content of his "boss" is not high. At the same time, Liu Chengyou deployed Murong Yanzhao as the deputy capital of the Huainan camp, although it was a deputy position, many military affairs of the camp were delegated to him for disposal.
Quietly, Wang Jun was actually set aside, and the commanders of the armies were also very accustomed to reporting military affairs directly to the emperor and obeying the holy order. The anger that had been discordant in the army suddenly dissipated.
One thing to say, with his personality and style, Wang Jun is really unpopular.
In the imperial tent, the Huainan map is hanging, and next to it, is a big Han map, Liu Chengyou is now no matter where he goes, he will not leave his body.
Holding his hands in his arms, staring at the map of Huainan, holding a piece of bread in his hand, the cake eaten by ordinary soldiers in the battalion, although it was a little hard, it also had the effect of grinding teeth.
Zhang Yongde and Pan Mei, now by Liu Chengyou's side, in addition to serving as the guard, have become operational staff officers, and at this time, they are on the map of Huainan, supplementing and marking the front-line battlefield situation.
Wang Pu, Liu Chengyou has not let him go to Haozhou to take office, and is still waiting for the imperial front. The importance of Shouchun lies in Shouchun, where the Tang army is still considered a heavy army, but Liu Chengyou's gaze has crossed Shouchun and gone along the upper reaches of the Huai River Valley.
"I have sent Guo, Zhao Jingluosi, Chu, here in Shouzhou, I don't plan to be tied up by a Shouchun City!" Liu Chengyou clapped his hands, wiped off some of the powder, and said.
"Your Majesty wants to divide the troops?" Wang Pu reacted quickly and asked.
Pointing to the upper reaches of Huaishui, from the west of Shouzhou to Gwangju further west, Liu Chengyou said: "It's not that there is still a naval army in Shouzhou that is making trouble, invading the Zhengyang pontoon bridge at any time, and there are also sailors going north from the tributaries. It's a cold winter, and there is no need for more soldiers and horses, as long as you go north along the Huaishui River to fight me, occupy the city, clean up the ferry, and curb the threat of the enemy's naval army! ”
"However, who should be sent to lead the teacher, and who has the talent for strategy?" Liu Chengyou asked: "You see people accurately, is there a suitable candidate?" ”
Glancing at Liu Chengyou, Wang Pu thought seriously for a while, and said, "Your Majesty, the Yingzhou regimental training envoy Si Chao Si can be appointed!" ”
"Si Chao?" Liu Chengyou's mind turned and said, "I have some impressions of this person, it seems that he is an old general in Hedong!" ”
"Your Majesty, the envoy Jun has been in battle for a long time, served in Yingzhou for three years, Jingping place, familiar with the situation of Shou and Guangdi, at the beginning of the war, led the Yingzhou regiment training, lured the enemy in Zhengyang, and held the pontoon bridge, so that it was not hindered by the Huai thief water division, and showed its ability. From the minister's point of view, although the envoy does not have a great reputation, but he has real talent and the ability to strategize, His Majesty may be able to use it! Wang Pu said.
"It's not bad that you can get your Wang Qiwu to be so evaluated!" Liu Chengyou immediately said: "Chuan Sichao! ”
All along, Si Chao has been ordered to have his back against Yingzhou and garrison Zhengyang Fuliang to cover the rear of the army. This time, after Si Chao arranged the defense of Zhengyang, he also came to the north to meet him, and he was in the camp, so there was no need to wait for a long time.
Soon, the chamberlain reported that the Yingzhou regimental training division was sent to meet him.
Si Chao's age is not too young, his beard is a little gray, and it is not too much to say that he is a veteran. It seems that he has a decent face, leading the army to fight, but he has less of the evil spirit of the general army. In the face of Liu Chengyou, he also seemed obedient and respectful, and Liu Chengyou had a very good impression of him. For three generations, such generals are really a minority.
Liu Chengyou sat down, looked at Si Chao who was standing respectfully, and raised his hand to signal: "Si Qing, please take a seat!" ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Si Chao saluted, and then sat down slowly.
With a full view of his performance, Liu Chengyou said: "Si Qing, if I remember correctly, when Jinyang was in Jinyang, you were the general of Hedong!" ”
Si Chao arched his hand and replied: "Your Majesty Lao remembers the ministers. When Gaozu Town Taiyuan, he admired his fame and defected to Jinyang as a junior colonel of the Wujie Army. ”
Nodding, Liu Chengyou said in a reminiscing tone: "Si Qing has always been introverted and modest, although he is not famous in the army, but his achievements in the Han Dynasty are not a lot at all. As far as I know, when the emperor entered the Central Plains, you were also among the pioneers. At the beginning of the country, you went to Zhenzhou County, bandits were rampant, and you also had the merit of suppressing and pacifying the people. Huainan has something, guarding Yingzhou, one station is three years, conscientious, hard-working, unswerving, very rare! ”
Seeing that the Son of Heaven told his resume like a few treasures, Si Chao was surprised, and he was even more moved, got up and bowed and said: "The minister only eats Lu and is loyal, His Majesty praises it, and he is ashamed!" ”
"The victory of those who are good at fighting has no wisdom and no bravery. In my opinion, he is talking about an old minister like Si Qing! Liu Chengyou said: "I summoned you to come, that is, to have something to entrust, let you make a name for yourself, and live up to your meritorious deeds!" ”
"Your Majesty, please! Ministers will die! Seeing this, Si Chao bowed. Similar words, from Si Chao's mouth, Liu Chengyou just felt different, and experienced a "real" feeling.
got up, led him in front of the map, pointed to the target, and said to him: "I take Qing as the Huang and Guang patrol envoys, and lead the Yingjun army to the west!" ”
Si Chao looked at the map, did not respond immediately, but thought about it for a while, and said, "The minister has a please!" ”
Liu Chengyou was even more satisfied with his reaction, and said, "Si Qing, please speak!" ”
"Please ask Your Majesty to allocate thirty warships and one thousand sailors for the use of your ministers!" Si Chaodao.
Looking at this veteran, there was a kind of calm and confidence in his old face, Liu Chengyou waved his sleeves and said directly: "I have agreed!" ”
Immediately turned his head and instructed Li Fang: "Draw up an edict, hand it over to Si Qing, and go to find Xiang Xun, the commander of the Jingjiang army, and he will dispatch the navy!" ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
"The minister still has a please!" Si Chao said again.
With a slight glance in his eyes, Liu Chengyou said, "Speak!" ”
This time, Si Chao's face revealed a kind of sadness, and he bowed to Liu Chengyou: "Kang Yan, the deputy envoy of Yingzhou regimental training, was killed by the commander of Cai Fuliang because of his ineffective supervision, which affected the transfer of the army, and was killed by the marshal of the king. His sin is fixed to death, and the minister is only for his family, please have some mercy, and he will be full of affection! ”
Hearing his words, Liu Chengyou was surprised, looked at Si Chao, and saw this veteran with a calm face. replied to him and said: "Si Qing has this intention, how can I not be perfected!" ”
After Si Chao thanked him and retreated, Liu Chengyou still had a satisfied look on his face, and said to Wang Pu: "Although I haven't marched yet, I am already full of confidence in this envoy!" ”
Hearing this, Wang Pu smiled lightly: "The envoy is calm and loyal, which is very admired by the ministers!" ”
"In the past few years, I have been in the forbidden army and promoted young and strong men, but a loyal and brave veteran like Si Qing is still worth using!" Liu Chengyou sighed and sighed.
After a pause, Liu Chengyou asked again: "Do you know what happened to Kang Yan, the deputy envoy of the Yingzhou regimental training?" ”
