The sixth day of the first month

The Great Zhou Southern Tang War officially began, Li Gu led the troops to attack Shouzhou, the Southern Tang Dynasty defended the Shouzhou city gate, after several exploratory attacks, they also found that Shouzhou's defense was indeed worthy of its reputation. The copper wall is ironclad, and Li Chongjin led the troops to charge several times, but he could not shake the gate of Shouzhou.

The Southern Tang Dynasty Qing Huai Army made Liu Renzhen stick to the city and repeatedly defeated the Later Zhou army. This also made Li Gu feel that the sturdiness of Shouzhou was by no means ordinary, and if he wanted to attack the Southern Tang Dynasty, he must first take Shouzhou, and the saying was not wrong at all.

Li Chongjin was afraid of the Southern Tang Dynasty and convened the generals and subordinates to discuss.

"The reinforcements on the opposite side are coming, our Zhou army is not good at water warfare, if the Tang army cuts off the pontoon bridge, it will be attacked by the enemy and cannot return. It is better to retreat to the pontoon bridge and wait for His Majesty's reinforcements. ”

Shouzhou could not be attacked for a long time, and the morale was slightly low. At this time, Li Chongjin, Zhao Kuangyin, and Wang Pu were pale and sweating. Everyone took a pair of chopsticks to the pot to put meat, although they ate several times behind closed doors, but Zhao Kuangyin and his party still had a very good mentality, and they must eat before the war.

"Are you listening to me?"

Zhao Kuangyin nodded and said, "Of course, how dare we not be afraid of Lord Li's words?" Hand me that plate of meat, the mutton shabu is delicious, don't say it, come and eat it first." ”

As the saying goes, one blow, then decline, three and exhaustion, and the long-term failure to attack is a great blow to the mentality of the soldiers. But the morale of the soldiers is still very different from these generals, in fact, everyone knows that Shouzhou is difficult to fight, as long as Shouzhou can be captured, then it is equivalent to taking the entire Jiangnan area.

Wang Pu took the cup and drank it all, and then said: "I have tried a few times, but there is no progress." Shouzhou really deserves its name, but we didn't think about directly capturing Shouzhou, which was originally a long process. Of course, I'm useless, anyway, you martial artists will take care of yourself. ”

Li Chongjin said: "The Qinghuai Army has no ability to make Liu Renzhen, but he has a high achievement in defending the city, and he is not lost to Fu Yanqing in this regard." This is also the reason why Shouzhou is so difficult to break, Li Jing will never hand over such an important place in Shouzhou to incompetents. ”

"It doesn't matter, anyway, according to the convention, the city that can't be captured will be fenced, so that Liu Renzhen can feel the pain of besieging the city. We don't care, as long as we hold Shouzhou and don't let the Datang reinforcements transport grain and grass in. Zhao Kuangyin said: "But Liu Renzhen is really powerful, he has a very accurate control of the overall situation, and he uses the strength of Shouzhou City to attack several times, but no one can rush to the gate of Shouzhou City...... This grandson is really a bit unbearable, otherwise I will go directly to the city and slaughter this grandson. ”

"Yes~ Brother Zhao is really martial arts, and I fully support this matter. "Li Chongjin is definitely the kind of person who doesn't think it's a big deal to see the excitement, if you can directly kill the enemy defenders, then it will be very easy to attack the city. And everyone knows very well what Zhao Kuangyin used to do, so it is most appropriate for him to do this kind of thing like assassination.

In fact, Li Chongjin has had this idea for a long time, but ...... He was embarrassed to speak, and had been waiting for Zhao Kuangyin to take the initiative to ask for help.

Zhao Kuangyin said: "That's what I said~ But I'm afraid of two people in the Southern Tang Dynasty, if these two people are in Shouzhou, I'm afraid that they will be meat buns and dogs, and there will be no return." ”

"Wang Ran, I don't know where it is, but Huangfu Jixun must be in Shouzhou, and you already know about this matter. You sneaked into Shouzhou, and then when Liu Renzhen was alone, you went over and slaughtered him. I'll roast a sheep here, prepare soju and wait for the news of your meritorious service. ”

Li Chongjin really hopes that Zhao Kuangyin will assassinate Liu Renzhen, after all, a general like this who is good at defending the city is the most annoying, he will not fight below at all, relying on the thick walls of the city to defend it, if the command is not wrong, it is indeed not easy to capture a city, unless the real desire is to sacrifice and pile up the city wall with corpses.

The besieging side needs at least three times as many troops to guarantee the capture of a city, but this is only the case. If the walls of the city are thick and the other party is not a rookie, how easy is it to capture a city?

In fact, Li Gu's original plan was to besiege the city, but now there are other problems. It's not that Li Gu doesn't want to continue the siege, but that Liu Yanzhen, the reinforcement of the Tang Dynasty, is about to arrive. Li Gu was afraid of the Tang Dynasty Army, so he proposed to withdraw first and come back after Chai Rong's reinforcements arrived.

"Who is the reinforcement?" a green voice asked, Zhao Kuangyin still felt quite faceless on his face, because a group of adults were discussing things, what did the children interject in? Just eat obediently.

The person who spoke was Zhao Kuangyin's younger brother Zhao Kuangyi, Zhao Kuangyi is also 16 years old, and he is the same age as Tianya. After Tianya left the Thunder King's Mansion, he followed his own ideas to wander the world and do chivalrous deeds everywhere. And Zhao Kuangyi chose another path and went directly into the barracks, wanting to make meritorious contributions and be promoted, and do a big job.

Li Gu said: "Finally, a normal person asks a normal word...... The reinforcements were led by Liu Yanzhen, I don't know much about this person, I heard that this person governs the people like Gong Sui and Huang Ba in the Western Han Dynasty, and fights with soldiers like Han Xin and Peng Yue in the Western Han Dynasty. If his reinforcements arrive in Shouzhou, it will be even more difficult to attack Shouzhou again. ”

"Don't believe this kind of nonsense, Lord Li. Zhao Kuangyi said: "As far as I know, Liu Yanzhen has always been arrogant and pampered, has no talent and strategy, and is not familiar with military affairs. Therefore, the ministers vied with each other to praise him, believing that he governed the people like Gong Sui and Huang Ba in the Western Han Dynasty, and fought with soldiers like Han Xin and Peng Yue in the Western Han Dynasty. But this man has no ability, just a straw bale. ”

Zhao Kuangyin said with a surprised face: "Yi, how do you know these things?"

"If we want to attack the Southern Tang Dynasty and seize the Southern Tang Dynasty, don't you know how to do some homework? I want to know about the internal affairs of the Southern Tang Dynasty and the characteristics of each general, so that we can prescribe the right medicine, right?"

Zhao Kuangyin said: "Do you need this? Lead the troops to rush over and open it, continue if you win, and run away if you lose." If you can't do it, you will secretly run into the city to assassinate the other party's boss, I have always led troops to fight like this, and I am not as troublesome as you. ”

Wang Pu said embarrassedly: "The last time we were able to recapture the four states around Hanzhong, it was completely luck, if the other party reacted, we will definitely be wiped out." ”

Wang Pu understands Zhao Kuangyin's tactical use, which is simply not a material for fighting with the future. But Zhao Kuangyin's luck is really good, and every time he encounters some accidents that allow him to win. It's a pity that Zhao Kuangyin has never succeeded in assassinating the enemy commander, and Wang Pu began to wonder if Zhao Kuangyin really knows martial arts.

Li Gu waved his hand and said, "Zhao Kuangyi, since you know Liu Yanzhen so well, how do you think you should deal with it?"

Zhao Kuangyi said: "As Lord Li said, if Liu Yanzhen robs the pontoon bridge, it will cut off the retreat of our army, and then the enemy will be killed by the enemy." We have to retreat, but don't retreat too quickly, little by little, so that it looks more realistic. If the whole army retreats, it will make people suspicious. Our troops retreated to the pontoon bridge in several ways, which seems strange to ordinary people, but those who think they are clever will think that this retreat is to ensure the safety of the whole army to withdraw from this place. Liu Yanzhen must have thought that there was something wrong with the Zhou army, so he hurried to pursue him. When the time comes, we will retreat to the pontoon bridge, and when Liu Yanzhen's reinforcements come to chase him, we will have a big battle with him, as long as the second brother leads the troops to rob Liu Yanzhen's back road, this person will definitely die. We can also get a lot of reinforcements to send to Shouzhou. ”

Li Gu hurriedly nodded and said, "Okay~ This plan is very good." Zhao Kuangyin, are you brothers? Your brother is so smart, how can you be like a brain-dead?"

"The nine sons of the dragon are not the same, anyway, this is the person of our Zhao family, you have the ability to let your mother give you another smart brother. ”

Li Gu really didn't want to raise the bar with a hooligan like Zhao Kuangyin, but Li Gu admired Zhao Kuangyi's ability very much, although he was not young, but after all, he was only sixteen years old, and he had such vision and resourcefulness at the age of sixteen, and he would definitely make great achievements in the future.

This feeling is not only Li Gu, everyone around him thinks so. Zhao Kuangyi gives people the feeling that he is not normal age, and Zhao Kuangyi's temperament should definitely be in his thirties, but his real age is only 16 years old.

Zhao Kuangyi has been very smart since he was a child, and the biggest regret in his life is that he failed to study under Zongxin. But Zhao Kuangyi did not give up because of this, he was familiar with the classics of the art of war, practiced martial arts diligently, although he was only 16 years old, his ability was far better than a veteran who had been on the battlefield for decades.

It is already worthy of praise for ordinary children who dare to stand firm on the battlefield and not pee their pants, and it is impossible to not only kill the enemy in person like Zhao Kuangyi, but also give advice. His mind is much more mature than that of ordinary children, and his martial arts are ...... It's not ordinary.

Zhao Kuangyi has been educated by a similar talent since he was a child, and his martial arts are definitely much more powerful than ordinary people. Zhao Kuangyin is just a little kid at his age, and his martial arts are incomparable.

Li Gu said: "If everyone has no opinion, let's act according to this plan." Evacuate in batches first, wait for Liu Yanzhen to come and pursue, and then kill him by surprise. General Zhao, you prepare a batch of good players in advance, just wait for you to cut off Liu Yanzhen's back road, and we will give him a front and back attack. ”

Wang Pu suddenly wondered: "What if Liu Yanzhen didn't chase after him?"

"If you don't come......" Li Gu said: "Retreat to the pontoon bridge and wait for Your Majesty to conquer in person." ”

Wang Pu nodded immediately, forgetting about this matter. In fact, whether they came or not, the Zhou army had no losses. Just wait for His Majesty Chai Rong's reinforcements to arrive, immediately besiege Shouzhou, and attack several surrounding states and counties at the same time, so as to play a role in the cause and restriction of the same.
