Chapter 442: Striking West
Lin Renzhao ran out of Jiangning Mansion overnight and rode south to the old land of Fujian. The west is the activity area of the Zhou army, and the east is the territory of Wu Yueguo, and Jinling really has an ambush situation on all sides...... Sure enough, something went wrong.
As soon as he arrived on the east bank of Danyang Lake the next morning, he met the Zhou army scouts. After chasing for half an hour, he encountered the Zhou army again, the horse was shot dead, and the people were caught.
Lin Renzhao was quickly guessed by the generals of the Zhou army because he had a tattoo on his back. So he was tied up by Wuhua and taken to the Zhou army camp at the quarry ferry.
After a lot of tossing and turning, it was dark when I got to the place. The young general Zhou Jun next to him said in a northern accent: "You guys look at it, I'll go in and report it." A soldier smiled and said: "This guy is tied like a dumpling, and in the big camp, I am afraid it will not be easy to run." ”
Lin Renzhao didn't struggle at all, he was already disheartened, he knew this was the case, why did he waste his strength to escape from Jinling? Both left and right are dead, and dying in the prison of the Southern Tang Kingdom also saves the enemy from being humiliated in vain. was originally Guo Shao's defeated general, and it was not enough to be defeated on the battlefield...... He also knew that he was "absconding in fear of sin", and then came to the door to die!
In addition to being ashamed, he was also a little curious, what was that person like? Although he was an enemy, Lin Renzhao did lose quite convincingly, and finally did not lose in the hands of a person he looked down on...... The commander-in-chief of the Zhou army was very flexible in his troop steps, and he grasped the timing very accurately.
Lin Renzhao waited outside the door for a while, but the young general who went in to report still did not come out. At this moment, I saw a young man with his hair combed in a bun and no hat walking out, as if he was in a hurry, dressed as if he had just come out of the bedroom, without even wearing boots, and pedaling on a pair of clogs.
"I'm Guo Shao." The young man said directly.
Lin Renzhao was stunned for a moment, he really didn't expect that the Lord of the Zhou Army would look like this, and he would be so young. He didn't feel humiliated, maybe it was rude for people to be disheveled when they saw guests, but at this moment, it reminded him of things like Zhou Gong spitting out the food he ate.
Before he could think about how to speak, Guo Shao said again: "This person is not Lin Renzhao, he is a pretending person." I saw him during the Battle of Huainan. ”
Lin Renzhao was misunderstood, and just wanted to defend himself, but then thought about what's the use of talking about it? I wondered when the Battle of Huainan had a confrontation with Guo Shao......
He didn't say a word, and was led into the line.
"Hurry up and loosen the ties for General Lin!" As soon as Guo Shao entered the hall, he hurriedly said, "I have admired General Lin's name for a long time, and I really have a heroic spirit when I see it today." ”
Lin Renzhao blurted out, "Why did General Guo say that I was a pretender?" ”
Guo Shao said: "Although it is in the camp of the Zhou army, there are many people outside after all. General Zeng Wenlin is a solid person who values love and righteousness, and attaches great importance to his family; If it spreads too soon, you will be captured by the Great Zhou army, and it may not be good for your family. ”
"This ......" Lin Renzhao glared at Guo Shao. For a while, he was really a little moved, thinking of all the dangers he had encountered in Jinling, and now he felt really different.
Lin Renzhao is a strong and burly man, very rough, and he really doesn't have too many fancy intestines, but rough men also have feelings. He immediately replied: "I am a defeated general under General Guo, and now I am captured, and if I want to kill him, I will not surrender, and it is useless to say more!" ”
Guo Shao just smiled at him and didn't answer. The momentary silence made Lin Renzhao feel as if he had been seen through...... Guo Shao was a person who left a deep impression on him after meeting him for a while. He looked at Guo Shao, this person looked very ordinary at first glance, and his complexion was a little tanned by the sun; But if you pay a little attention, you will find that this person is very neat...... All parts of the body are well-proportioned, the face is tanned copper but the face is smooth, and he wears a gray robe, but it is very smooth and clean. There are more details that Lin Renzhao didn't pay attention to, just by feeling.
Lin Renzhao pondered in his heart that Guo Shao's eyes were as ambitious as a hunter, and the goal of the war was very clear, so he could unswervingly implement the established tactics; He is also a very meticulous person, so he can grasp the timing very accurately and the steps are very clear.
"Do I care about my family? General Guo also knows? Lin Renzhao asked a little curiously.
Guo Shaodao: "The Southern Tang Kingdom is a big country with thousands of military generals, but there are not many people who are really worthy of our efforts. I have long been clear about General Lin's details, and now the Great Zhou Army Military Mansion still has your file archived. ”
"I'm a little surprised......" Lin Renzhao frowned and muttered. At this moment, he felt strange. After being captured, there was no sense of humiliation at all, but I felt very dignified by chance! There are not many people who can understand fame and fortune, but fame is ranked before profit...... When someone you don't know, especially someone in a high position, looks at you differently and shows respect, it's really hard to think about it.
…… Guo Shao said: "I didn't persuade General Lin to surrender in a hurry, why don't we get acquainted with each other first?" ”
Lin Renzhao said: "What is there to get acquainted with the generals of the defeated army?" ”
Guo Shao smiled and said nothing, from the first time Lin Renzhao emphasized the general of the defeated army, he had already seen that this person was a very face-saving person...... Maybe the more you flaunt your husband, the more you value your face.
Lin Renzhao is indeed capable, not only brave in battle, but also has a lot of insight and keen judgment in his understanding of war tactics; He is stubborn and wants to be Tu Cheng, and he has a good eye for tactics. Of course, if he doesn't have the ability, Guo Shao will never let go of his body and waste time on him.
But Lin Renzhao may be more difficult to control than Shi Yanchao, and one day if he disobeys the military order, Guo Shao will not be surprised. is a very difficult martial artist, Li Yu can't use it, so using him is counterproductive.
In any case, he has weaknesses, but he also has real skills; Huangfu Jixun and others have no ability, so Guo Shao is not interested...... Moreover, if a capable person has no weaknesses, it will also be very stressful to reuse.
"It's getting late, and General Lin is resting here." Guo Shaodao and ordered his subordinates not to treat him badly. Guo Shao opened and closed his mouth to General Lin, and his respect was beyond words, of course Lin Renzhao would not be treated rudely, let alone dragged into a small black house like in Jinling and beaten indiscriminately.
At this time, Li Chuyun, Shi Yanchao and other generals heard the movement, Guo Shao originally wanted to sleep, but now he had to sit with them for a while and talk.
Shi Yanchao also seemed to look up to Lin Renzhao, sat down and said: "That guy has two hits, and he can stop me in the chaotic battle formation, and he can run away, and he is very cunning if he has skills." ”....
Guo Shao said with a smile: "There are really not many people who can make General Shi look up to it. ”
Li Chuyun and the others looked at each other after hearing this, and smiled bitterly with a bit of teasing.
Shi Yanchao snorted at the person next to him, and turned his head to look at Guo Shao: "The Southern Tang Kingdom Lord over there in Jiangning Mansion can't shake the scene, and the infighting is fierce, why don't we take Jiangning City directly?" ”
Guo Shao looked at Li Chuyun with an inquiring face.
Li Chuyun pondered for a long time: "I'm afraid there are still risks." Shi Vicedu said that the Southern Tang Kingdom was in chaos, but until now, their strength has not been broken, but the situation is not good; The problem of our Great Zhou Army was that Tokyo and the north contained a lot of troops, and they could not use all their strength, resulting in a shortage of elite troops for the Battle of the Southern Tang Dynasty.
Jiangning Mansion has a large number of troops, and the surrounding Runzhou, Jingkou, and Jiangmian are still under the control of the Southern Heavy Army; The strength of a large area of Southern Tang land in the southwest also threatens my belly. Therefore, when the end of the city is not a siege, it is still in a hurry. ”
Guo Shao nodded and said directly: "I think the next target should be the Jingkou South ** Water Division." ”
He reviewed several generals and said: "The biggest result we have achieved so far is to stabilize the quarrying and open up the big river moat; And there are not many occupied territories and destroyed southern ** strength. To stabilize quarrying and forge ahead, the vision is still based on quarrying......"
The generals nodded frequently when they heard this, and Guo Shao continued when he saw this: "A large number of Southern Tang naval forces in Hukou have always threatened quarrying, and may work with the Jingkou naval army to cause a flanking attack on Li Chuyun's naval division. We must not underestimate the combat power of the Southern Tang Naval Army. Once we lose the quarrying army, we will lose control of the river and be blocked from retreat and grain routes. The stakes are high for control of the river.
However, the enemy forces in Jingkou were also in danger of being flanked from the front and rear. The offensive and defensive momentum only depends on who takes the initiative and who seizes the fighter...... Therefore, I think the next step should be to deploy the siege of Jingkou as soon as possible. ”
Li Chuyun said: "The Great Zhou army can also enter Jiangning Mansion on the shore and pretend to take the enemy's capital directly. When the troops are approaching the city, the south may mobilize heavy troops to return to defense, thinking that it is a plan to attack the east and the west. ”
Guo Shao thought so, and issued several preliminary military orders that night. ordered Wang Pu to move the shogunate of the Chinese army to quarrying; He also ordered Luo Yanhuan to lead the right wing of the Longjie army that remained in Chizhou to move northward, and the Zhou army's battle line shrank to the northeast to alleviate the situation of insufficient troops.
Then he sent people to Wu Yueguo, and asked Cao Bin to urge Wu Yueguo to send troops to attack in the direction of Runzhou (Zhenjiang) and cooperate with the Great Zhou army to fight.
