The next day, Jin Xiangdian was in the meeting, and Wang Pu put forward his opinion: "It is difficult for Hukou Nan** to threaten Chizhou.

The ministers heard that Li Jing was seriously ill in the southern capital, and Li Yuwen, the lord of the Southern Tang Dynasty, was weak and had just succeeded to the throne, and his prestige could not deter the ministers. Although there are many civil and military generals in the country, there are many factions, including the northern scholars who moved south, as well as the locals such as Huainan, Nandu, and Jiangdong, as well as the civil and military forces of the subjugated Fujian and Chu countries, these people cannot trust each other and attack each other; Its royal center cannot be suppressed. In such a situation, it is difficult to respond in time to besiege Li Chuyun with all his might.

On the other hand, in our dynasty, the forbidden army all inherited the (later) Han Dynasty, and the two generations of heroes of Taizu and the first emperor worked hard to govern the country, and the inside and outside were integrated; After the death of the first emperor, the queen mother became regent, quelled the rebellion, and the government was clear.

Chizhou's distress is due to the fact that our dynasty regards the Southern Tang Kingdom as a political and harmonious country. If the Southern Tang Dynasty cultivates both at home and abroad, with its strength, how can I take it lightly?

The enemy water division at Hukou belongs to the command of Zhu Lingyun, the envoy of Nanjiedu in the town of the Southern Tang Dynasty...... The Queen Mother, please see the third volume of the file submitted to the enemy generals, with Zhu Lingyun's preparation. This person, the son of Zhu Kuangye, has no achievements; His father was a little stronger, and he didn't have much of an enterprising spirit. During the Battle of Huainan, Li Jing asked for advice, and Zhu Kuangye replied that the general trend was gone, and there was nothing to be done. If the father is like this, how much courage does the son have?

Therefore, Li Chuyun has no worries in Chizhou. ”

The figure in the curtain inside swayed, Guo Shao couldn't see Fu Jinzhan clearly, and she didn't speak.

Guo Shaodang said: "The minister agrees with the inference of the king's envoy, and Gao Yanyu and Xiangzhou Jiedu can contain the west, and Han Tong can contain the east to intimidate the south...... But you can't leave anything to chance, and you should be prepared just in case. ”

Guo Shao and Wang Pu have different thinking patterns, Wang Pu pays attention to reason, and Guo Shao pays attention to logic. He said: "If Zhu Lingyun's troops (the Nantang Hukou Water Army) go east desperately, there is indeed a possibility of cutting off Li Chuyun's retreat. We can't let the situation reach a dead end, we need a plan to prepare early...... First, to transport grain to Chizhou to support the long-term defense of Li Chuyun's troops; Second, the minister recommended Yuan Yan to train the navy in Jiangling Mansion, and suggested that Xiang Gong and Wang Pu, who were stationed in Shu, should mobilize two Sichuan warships to gather in Jiangling Mansion (Jingzhou).

In case Li Chuyun is cut off from the waterway in Chizhou; The military government then adjusted its deployment and stopped its aggressive strategy. The main force of the forbidden army crossed the river from Jiangling Mansion, joined Yuan Yan's navy and went eastward by land and water, opened up the connection with Li Chuyun's army, and changed the main strategy to advance slowly from west to east......"

Fu Jinzhan finally spoke: "The strategy you presented, the mourning family agreed, so let's follow this plan first." Send someone to the capital of the Southern Tang Dynasty to spread the edict and persuade Li Yuna to surrender. ”

……

The city of Tokyo was completely shrouded in the atmosphere of war. Many of the soldiers who were recuperating returned to the barracks, truckloads of money were transported from the imperial city to various barracks to reward the soldiers, and many pigs and sheep were slaughtered to improve the food of the warriors...... This kind of scene is a habit, and generally when the forbidden army is to go out to sell their lives, the imperial court will give extra rewards to the soldiers, so that the warriors will be grateful to Dai De and be willing to die.

Since the Zhou Dynasty, the imperial court has more control over the army; The Later Han Dynasty was even more exaggerated, Guo Wei entered Tokyo, and the forbidden army not only did not resist, but also opened the city gate to lead the way, which is said to be the reason why the Later Han royal family was reluctant to reward money before the war (misinformation by the martial artists).

The most rewarding is the left wing of the Sihu Ben Army in front of the palace, the bow and arrow of the Crane Army, and the horse army, this force wants to go with Guo Shao to conquer the Southern Tang Dynasty; There was also Zhang Guanghan's division on the left side of the Long Jie army, who was to be transferred to Xiangzhou on the north bank of the Yellow River, and Fu Yanqing, the king of Wei, was appointed to deploy in the north, and Zhang Guanghan was required to obey the moderation of the deployment on the north bank of the Yellow River...... Jinju Jiedu made Murong Yanzhao be transferred to the three towns of Heyang to command the Heyang army, as well as the Huainan native Gande army stationed there. Tokyo also left heavy troops, and the fierce general Yang Biao was asked to stay in the front of the palace to command the right wing of the tiger army.

Guo Shao feels that Yang Biao's comprehensive ability is much worse than Li Chuyun, but he is also a relatively smart person, and the key is to be reliable. He wants to keep a reliable general so that the Queen Mother has someone to use if necessary.

Most of the soldiers of the forbidden army were in the city of Tokyo, and they were mobilized relatively quickly. Some of them were already on duty in the barracks, and some of them were also in the city. The whole process only takes a few days, first gather to reward the money and share the meat, then take the things home to say goodbye to the family, and then assemble in the barracks...... It is similar to the process when Guo Shao was a top ten general.

Everyone was elated after rewarding the money, but it couldn't be compared with sharing money in Chengdu Mansion, after all, not always able to get rich.

However, it is already very rich for Yao Erniu, he did not catch up with the last time he made a fortune, although all the soldiers of the forbidden army were rewarded during the celebration, but it was obviously less than the soldiers who hit Chengdu Mansion. Yao Erniu was originally a soldier of the "lower battalion" of the front division of the palace, and he was the inferior soldier who was eliminated to Tuntian when Zhao Kuangyin presided over the rectification of the front division of the palace a few years ago...... However, later, the army of the palace division fought for many years, and after defeating Li Chongjin to fight the Shu Kingdom, some people died; In addition to sending elite soldiers from local festivals and towns to supplement the soldiers, the relatively young and strong soldiers who had been eliminated before returned to the establishment of professional soldiers, and Yao Erniu was one of them.

He's younger, but he's not as tall and strong as the average soldier, barely qualified. Last time, the front division of the palace went to the camp to select troops, Yao Erniu used the force of milk to pull out a strong bow, so he was absorbed.

The lives of professional soldiers and those of the cantonment soldiers are completely different things, and the professional soldiers have money and food, which are directly supplied by the state treasury. Yao Erniu originally wanted to do a good job, but he talked too much on the school field last time, which made him very stressed...... He said in front of the inspection of the front division of the palace that Guo Shao would not be a general in the future, and he would be good if he could go to strike iron. Then the commander from above made Zhang Jiankui very dissatisfied with him.

Yao Erniu pondered, if he eliminated redundant soldiers and re-selected them next time, would he be sent by that Zhang Jiankui to farm?

But it's okay now, and I can breathe a sigh of relief after receiving the bounty...... When they return home and pay the money and share of the pork, the family should be happy that they can finally pay off the rent. Yao Erniu has just been selected, and his family background in Tokyo is relatively thin; In this troubled era, the land and houses everywhere are worthless, and the land in Tokyo alone is expensive, and Yao Erniu can't afford it.

Originally, the military salary was a lot, but the Yao family really ate too much rice. Yao Erniu's parents are here, and his father is very old; There was once an eldest brother who died and left behind a sister-in-law and nephew; There is also a younger sister's husband who also died, and brought back a little girl. There are seven people in the family, and Yao Erniu alone can make money...... Yao Erniu is not big, but he can eat it very well, even his mother and sister are the same, and they have a lot of food.

Yao Erniu walked to the door of the house and saw that there was no one at his father's vegetable stall, and the house was very noisy. thought that the whole family was waiting for him, but when he entered the door, he found a room full of people in the hall, and he stood at the door and was stunned.

"Erniu, this is your aunt!" The old lady reminded her.

Yao Erniu came back to his senses at this time, and hurriedly called out in a daze, the woman who had just stood up from the bench was his aunt...... The old lady's sister. Not only that, but there are two other people by my aunt's side, the eldest is my cousin and the younger one is my cousin.

So the number of people in the hall increased to ten.

The aunt said happily that she hadn't seen her for a few years, and the two cows had grown so big, and she was very affectionate when she asked for warmth. Then she complained: "There is a famine in my hometown, and everyone in the village has gone out to flee the famine, and most of them are heading west, and two months ago I heard that my sister's family moved to Daliang, so I came to see you......"

Yao Erniu's temperament is a little wooden, but his brain is still not stupid, and he suddenly understood: the three members of his aunt's family want to eat at Yao's house.

Yao Erniu was helpless, he couldn't take his aunt away, and he didn't say anything at the moment. He handed over the money bag and a large pork leg to the old lady, and suddenly the eyes of the aunt and cousin lit up...... They must have thought that Yao Erniu was a rich man.

In fact, his wife can't say if she is suffering, the ordinary military salary and reward are a lot more than ordinary people, but ordinary people don't need to feed seven to ten people alone, and there is no land or house in Tokyo. Yao Erniu is doing a desperate job, in case he dies in battle one day, the family is old, weak, women and children.

The pork leg brought back here can only be left in one piece, and the others should be taken to the market to exchange for money to buy grain.

When it was time for lunch, a plate of thin slices of meat was placed on the table, of course, this was enough for my aunt and their family, and there was still meat! The cousin was impatient to take the chopsticks to clip, but his sister stopped him and whispered, "Cousin wants to work hard, not for you to eat." ”

Yao Erniu was also embarrassed to eat, and when the baked wheat cakes and vegetable soup came up, he ate the wheat cakes with his belly open. ate more than a pound in one go, and when I turned my head to look at the people around the square table, everyone didn't say a word, they were all desperately eating...... But you can't be full, one person will drink vegetable porridge after eating one piece, and the water pipe will be full. Only Yao Erniu could eat enough, because he had to maintain a strong body to be used by the forbidden army.

"Our family eats twice a day, and we don't eat at night...... "The old lady's voice whispered.

Yao Erniu didn't say a word and left the table. His sister-in-law and sister came over to help him pack his things after a while, and all he had in his belongings was a pair of armor that looked valuable...... The newly made plate armor allotted by the Jiafang Department is flattened into a streamlined iron plate, well-made chain mail inlay, and the new luster of metal, and its craftsmanship is very incompatible with the impoverished appearance of Yao Erniu's family, as if two worldly things are fused together.

When he was full, he lay down on a pile of thatch and watched as the two women carefully packed his bags. I wondered in my heart that it was better for my nephew to let his mother raise him, in the end, it was the bloodline of the Yao family; My sister's little girl will get married anyway when she grows to be more than ten years old, so it's better to make some dowry for her and marry out.

The thatch stung his neck itched and hurt, and he couldn't help but reach out and scratch it for a while, and lay there lazily in a daze.

"Robbed the Southern Tang Kingdom of a lot of money!" Yao Erniu finally held back a sentence after a long time.
