Don't miss it when you pass by, ask for collections, ask for recommendations-

It was bright and it was another sunny morning.

This hellish weather, the sun is basking every day, and the heat is dying, and there are not a few drops of rain coming down. Why has there been no nationwide drought at this point? In fact, the reason is very simple, in this era, the population is really sparse, just fool a few pieces of land, and you can have food.

In these years, everyone begged for a living by the river, and as long as the river did not dry up, it would naturally not be dry.

In Jin'an Dazhai, the new Taiyuan recruited the envoy Gao Xingzhou on all sides, got up and played a set of marksmanship in his own yard, practiced a sweat, and walked to the side of the water tank with satisfaction, took the towel handed by the soldiers, took the water to wipe the sweat beads on his body, and prepared to go to the big tent to convene a meeting of his subordinates.

Gao Xingzhou is in a good mood right now.

The treatment of the envoy is good, after all, he is the supreme commander of the 50,000 army, and he is quite a man of his word. Gao Xingzhou has been pretending to be a military general for many years since he stepped into the military general industry, and today he finally pretended to be a new realm of life and became the actual helmsman of the main force of the imperial court.

You see, the soft white little beauty in the room has just gotten out of bed, and she is still wearing a light gauze coat, holding on to the door frame, standing by the door, bending down to say a blessing to General Gao, who is about to go out.

If Zhang Jingda was in power, where would Gao Xingzhou dare to bring women to the barracks. But now, hey, see who dares to say it!

When I walked out of the barracks, someone came to report it.

"Report to the marshal, the Imperial Court Secret Investigation Department brought the two fathers-in-law of Yanying Hall to pass on the secret decree."

In the special study room of the envoy's big tent, Gao Xingzhou once again saw the two short servants of the Yanying Palace, Lu Gonggong and Shan Gonggong.

Ah, no, it's not another time, it's the first time I've seen two fathers-in-law.

No one saw the two of them last time! This must be remembered!

Just thinking about the last time Zhang Jingda was here, plus four guards with round shoulders and thick waists, they were silently dealt with by these two kids, and Gao Xingzhou couldn't help but feel a cold swish in the back of his head.

Father-in-law Lu still shouted expressionlessly:

"Gao Xingzhou received the order."

Then he raised his hands above his head and handed over a small wooden box.

It is also a secret decree written by Emperor Li Congke himself:

"Lone has urged Dejun to prolong his life, and he will arrive in Jinyang within seven days, and you can join forces with him to attack the unitary department."

It means that I have urged Zhao Dejun's Lu Longjun and Zhao Yanshou's Zhongwu army to reach the vicinity of Taiyuan within seven days, and you will join together to launch a decisive battle against the Khitan army.

Li Congke, the late Tang Emperor of the Later Tang Dynasty, although his political ability was extremely poor, he could not distinguish between the good and bad abilities of civil officials, and he was also a mess in governing the country, but after all, he was still the emperor on horseback, and he had extremely rich experience in war.

If you really fight with your heart, you are actually a very good marshal.

It's just that Li Congke is in his fifties, his physical strength has long been hollowed out by wine, and he suffers from depression, he always hides in the house with a few concubines to make people, and he doesn't like to take care of things in the outside world, and adopts an ostrich policy, thinking that if he buries his head in the sand, the world will be peaceful.

Last time, Zhang Jingda was defeated by the Khitan army, and 50,000 Tang troops huddled in Jin'an Dazhai to hold meetings and eat every day, which made the court gloomy, and the officials had nothing to do, and finally someone shouted: "Your Majesty, please drive the expedition in person!" ”

Yes, everyone is still very optimistic about Li Congke's battlefield command ability.

It's just that Li Congke is gone, Nima is now the emperor, okay! What does the emperor do? Isn't the emperor supposed to sit on the dragon chair when he goes to work and listen patiently to you after a round of nonsense, and then listen to you another round of nonsense, and then casually put a few seals on the holy decree, and return to the palace after work to use all his skills to fight countless harem beauties to create a nation?

Isn't it the dirty and tiring drudgery of going out to fight a war that you should do for me? Why do you want me to go into battle myself? Keeping you bunch of garbage, just standing here during the day and spitting at night, going home at night to eat and wait for shit?

After procrastinating and noisy for several days, Li Congke finally reluctantly issued an order, asking Lu Longjiedu to make Zhao Dejun and Zhongwu Jiedu to make Zhao Yanshou set off, prepare to escort, and follow the emperor to personally conquer the Taiyuan battlefield.

After the order was issued, Li Congke felt that his body didn't seem to be very comfortable, so it was better to rest in the palace for a few days before leaving.

This break is another ten days.

Your emperor is like this, what can you expect from others?

So Zhao Dejun and Zhao Yanshou, who were already on the road, also dragged their feet, walked for more than ten days, and even a quarter of the road was not finished.

This terrible rhythm of army command actually doomed a decadent dynasty like the Later Tang Dynasty to perish.

But Ho Tai Sin disagreed!

No, Hou Tang must live, and he can't be destroyed so quickly!

It's your business to do what you do in the official history, but now that I'm here to fight for hegemony, then you Li Congke can't die so quickly, and you should be the emperor for two more years, help me drive the Khitans out of the Central Plains, and by the way, you and Shi Jingjiao will fight to the death first.

So He Daxian began to intervene in the command of the Later Tang army.

It was impossible to get the local envoys and envoys to send troops to besiege the Khitans, because the movement of the army had to be carried out by well-known ministers who had to personally arrive at the scene and read the decree to the local warlords.

However, the army that had already set off on the road urged the progress of the march and adjusted the direction of the destination, but in the name of a secret decree, it was only a document that could be done.

This can't be helped, who let He Daxian have the skill of counterfeiting official documents?

No matter what kind of official documents, no matter whose handwriting it is, no matter what kind of tone and idioms, no matter what kind of herald clothing, he knows it all clearly, and he can imitate it, which is more like the real thing.

Gao Xingzhou was overjoyed after receiving the secret order.

was appointed as the "Taiyuan Recruiting Envoy on All Sides", although the salary is high and the benefits are good, but at the same time, it is also a hot potato. The 50,000 army was pressed by the Khitans, neither attacking nor defending, and if one didn't get it, he would die here this year.

Now that the emperor Li Congke has personally come out to command the war, everything will be worry-free.

In his early years, Gao Xingzhou was a colleague with Li Congke, and they assisted Li Siyuan in many battles. In Gao Xingzhou's view, Li Congke's concept of governing the country is purely a fighter in the garbage, but there are still a few brushes in military command ability. After more than 30 years of fighting, resisting the Khitan in the north, destroying the Houliang in the south, and later rebelling against the flag, participating in countless classic wars, with extremely rich war experience, commanding a large corps to fight, is absolutely first-class.

Li Congke was very bold in fighting when he was young, and once even followed the enemy's rout into the enemy camp, killed a lot, cut down the handsome flag, and ran back triumphantly, which was rated as one of the top ten best pretending incidents in the Later Tang Dynasty. Later, when he pulled the flag and rebelled, he was attacked by others, attacked to an urgent place, and was forced to jump on the city tower alone, facing tens of thousands of Tang soldiers under the city, he tearfully accused Li Conghou of injustice, and he was able to persuade the officers and soldiers of the Later Tang Dynasty who came to attack the city, and turned to support him, returned to the palace, and grabbed the throne.

None of this is made up, it's something that really happened in history!

Therefore, if it weren't for the confusion of his brain when he was old, Li Congke would actually be an extremely powerful general! To be able to sit on the current throne is definitely not something that you have reached out to pick up!

This is also the reason why Gao Xingzhou has so much confidence in Li Congke.

As long as the emperor is not confused, the Later Tang Dynasty is definitely the same heart of the monarch and the ministers, and the world is invincible!

What's the name of a lyric?

"This sleeping lion is waking up!"

After the servants Lu Gonggong and Shan Gonggong in the Yanying Hall sent the fake secret decree to Gao Xingzhou, they immediately took their leave and left.

Min'er Xiaowu and they are actually very busy, they still have to continue their trip, and continue to pretend to be the lion emperor Li Congke who has woken up to send a letter to Zhao Dejun and Zhao Yanshou!

Help people to the end, send Buddha to the west, just let Gao Xingzhou decide to counterattack, prepare to launch a decisive battle against the Khitan army near Taiyuan, the weight of the Tang army is still not enough, Zhao Dejun and Zhao Yanshou's two armies must also rush to the scene, forming a real pincer attack.

In addition, Zhenwu recruited Zhao Ping from all sides to annex Shuozhou and copy the back road of the Khitans, which can really open a big war pattern that drives the Khitan army and extends the battlefield to the Khitan territory.

[It's about to be 515, I hope to continue to hit the 515 red envelope list, and the red envelope rain will be able to give back to readers and promotional works on May 15. A piece is also love, and it must be better! 】
