Five Dynasties River Mountains Fengyue

Guo Rong thought about it for a moment and said to Zhang Yongde beside him, "Don't let Zhao Kuangyin attack the city tomorrow, it's rare to be brave, and it's bad if it happens."

Zhang Yongde nodded in agreement.

Now that the official family has newly ascended the throne, they are hungry for loyal ministers and good generals.

For example, Guo Rong was very happy to find Zhao Kuangyin, but he didn't expect to have such a loyal and brave general by his side.

There are also many others, such as Shi Congyun, the son of Shi Yanchao. Although Guo Rong is not happy to talk to Xun repeatedly for Shi Congyun, he appreciates young people.

He is very assertive and can distinguish who he is against. He is dissatisfied with Xiang Xun and speaks for Shi Congyun, but his anger will not be spread on Shi Congyun.

This battle also made him see that Fan Aineng, He Hui and others were unreliable, and the troops of various Jiedushis were unreliable.

After waiting for a while, the soldiers outside came in to report that Li Xianggong had arrived.

Guo Rong nodded and called him in.

Li Gu was covered in dust, his gray hair and beard were a little messy, and he was obviously busy all day.

Guo Ronglian asked Zhang Yongde to set up a chair and invited Li Gu to take a seat.

Li Gu was not polite, and directly sat down and reported to Guo Rong: "Return to the official's house, the minister will count the provisions today, and it will be able to support the army for more than three months, so it will not be a problem for a long-term confrontation."

The official Guo Rong said happily: "With Duke Li here, I have nothing to worry about!

If it weren't for Duke Li this time, the army would not be able to last, and there will be a reward when the teacher is in class! "

"Thank you, the official..." Li Gu got up and bowed his hands to thank him, but his face was not happy, but it was not good-looking.

Li Gu hesitated for a moment, then said in a low voice: "Officials, although there is enough food and grass, but the soldiers are tired, the weather is getting hotter, and it rains from time to time, I'm afraid it will be difficult to hold on..."

As soon as these words came out, the entire tent became quiet, except for the whistling wind outside the tent, there was no movement, and even Zhang Yongde held his breath.

The generals said this a few days ago. At that time, the officials were furious and withdrew Fu Yanqing, the king of Wei, and replaced him with Li Gu, even at the expense of driving north to the front.

Now I say it again, the people who say it are different, and I don’t know how it works.

The officials did not get angry this time, but said seriously: "These small hardships, the sergeants can overcome."

Li Gu continued: "I'm afraid the Liao soldiers will come to help..."

"Liao Kingdom?" The official frowned: "Is it a detective?"

"No, the old minister is just guessing." After Li Gufang finished speaking, the official's expression turned bleak.

"The old minister didn't say anything to the public. He discussed it with the officials in private, and only felt that there was such a possibility." Li Gu added quickly.

The official nodded, his face returned to normal, "Then what Mr. Li thinks, let me hear it."

Li Gu cupped his hands, and then began to argue: "The old minister used the shape of the mountains and rivers to say that Taiyuan is important, the rivers and mountains are dangerous, and the Liao Kingdom must not be abandoned..."

The core of it is the importance of the Northern Han Dynasty to the Liao Kingdom that Shi Congyun told him that day. The main points are generally the same, but the expression has changed slightly.

At the end, Li Gu said that there is a high probability that he will send troops to rescue when he leaves Liao.

The official Chai Rong fell into contemplation after hearing this, the candles flickered in the tent, Zhang Yongde and Li Gu did not make a sound, and waited quietly for the official.

After a while, the officials seemed to return to their senses, sighed and said, "I didn't think that Li Gong, in addition to dealing with all kinds of opportunities, also studied the shape of mountains and rivers, and was well versed in the general trend of warfare.

I have been thinking about it, and it is indeed reasonable. If the Liao Kingdom is not all mediocre, it will not sit idly by. "

Li Gu laughed and said: "The official family is wrong, and the old minister also heard the truth from a military academy on the way. He suddenly felt that it was reasonable. After thinking about it, he was more surprised that it might come true, so the Tao and the official family took precautions before it happened."

"Military school?" Guo Rong was curious, "A military school that can compete with Duke Li is probably unusual."

"If it is unusual, it is true. This person is the son of Shi Yanchao, the commander of the right wing of Longjie and the defense envoy of Zhengzhou. His name is Shi Congyun. He is a very talented junior, and he is brave and has the style of his father." Li Gu replied.

"Isn't that a combination of civil and military." Zhang Yongde interjected, he is a typical person who has no opinion.

"Shi Congyun..." The official was stunned for a moment, and then read the name again: "It's a coincidence..." After that, I didn't say more.

......

After a while, Li Gu withdrew.

Zhang Yongde and Li Chongjin are the real family members of the official family Guo Rong, and they usually ask their opinions when they have something to do.

Zhang Yongde was about to leave, but was stopped by the officials.

"How do you interact with Shi Yanchao on weekdays?"

Zhang Yongde was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Not much, Shi Qianfeng is arrogant, and there are not many friends with him in the Japanese army, but many people respect him and fear him."

"Respect and fear..." The official chewed these words carefully.

"Yeah, Shi Qianfeng is brave, and takes the lead when killing the enemy!

Sometimes the enemy would not dare to take a detour and take a detour. His cavalry charged, even the Khitan cavalry could not resist, and the battle collapsed. "Zhang Yongde said excitedly.

Shi Yanchao is an old general of Guo Wei, who has experienced hundreds of battles and has been promoted to the throne through exhausted military achievements.

But what Guo Rong knew was not complete, because at the beginning, what he did for the late emperor Guo Wei was to take care of the rear.

The official nodded: "In Gaoping that day, it was Shi Yanchao who defeated the Northern Han Army."

Zhang Yongde agreed and quickly defended Shi Yanchao: "Shi Qianfeng is a powerful person, but he is not good at speaking and interacting with people."

After all, force in the army is respected, and many people are afraid of Shi Yanchao, and some hate him, but Shi Yanchao's bravery has also gained a large number of "fans" for him.

The official smiled rarely, and immediately said: "Shi Yanchao is a minister of the arm, I know it in my heart, you can go back and rest, and we will make some arrangements tomorrow."

Chapter 28, Wei Wang Fu Yanqing

For the past few days, Shi Congyun has been thinking about writing a letter to his aunt and his wife and Zhao Shijian.

The emperor was on the front line, and there were many people going to and from the north and south, so it was not difficult to carry a letter from the family.

But the problem is that he and his father are both illiterate.

Shi Yanchao can read and write well.

Shi Congyun is half illiterate. He can speak and write, but he can write simplified characters in later generations. The current characters are very different from the later ones. He didn’t even write them himself. people.

There are illiterates around him, Li Gu is too busy, Xiang Xun is too busy, Zhao Kuangyin is not yet familiar with that point, Wang Zhong is illiterate, Shao Ji and him can understand at most, let them write?But don't be kidding, let's not say whether it is beautiful or not, and people can't understand this minimum standard.

After thinking about it for a while, he was at a loss for words. His dignified teacher and librarian, there were times when he couldn't even write a hyphen. What was this?

Finally, I found a ghostwriter who went back and forth between the north and the south, dictated a letter, and sent it home, but the expression of the ghostwriter...is hard to describe.

.......

The next day, Shi Congyun, who was making soy sauce in the west of the city, received a new order.

Officials ordered Fu Yanqing, King of Wei, to send troops north to Xinzhou for fortification.

Shi Yanchao led the First Army of Long Jie Army as the vanguard. Their battalion belonged to the First Army of Long Jie Army, and they had to go north.

Shi Congyun hurriedly gathered his followers, gathered his troops, met his father Shi Yanchao outside Taiyuan City, and left Wang Qiu in the Longjie army camp, entrusting his father Shi Yanchao's adjutant to take care of him.

The adjutant smiled sympathetically, patted him on the shoulder, and brought a gratifying smile from the elders watching the younger ones grow up.

Shi Congyun knew that he would be wrong, so he twitched the corner of his mouth without explaining, and then explained that others thought he was a eunuch.

Then he followed the team of King Wei Fu Yanqing to the north.

Shi Congyun has never seen Fu Yanqing. Compared with the old man, his daughters are more famous. He remembers that the Fu family has been crowned king for three generations, and three queens have been produced in one generation.

When I met my father, I found that there was a general in his thirties beside Shi Yanchao. Although he was wearing iron armor, he wore a beautiful shoulder-swallowing beast, and there was a pattern of golden tigers on his belly. At first glance, he was not an ordinary soldier. Will.

Moreover, he and Shi Yanchao rode side by side, and the two were still talking. They seemed to be a few years younger than Shi Yanchao. There were not many people in the military who had a good relationship with Shi Yanchao.

Shi Yanchao said directly: "Come and recognize your Uncle Gao!"

Shi Congyun was surprised that the old man had a friend, so he hurriedly stepped forward and dismounted and kowtowed with the etiquette of paying respects to the elders: "Junior Shi Congyun, I have seen Uncle Gao."

The general laughed loudly, and then agreed: "I said earlier that there is no need for those troublesome things, nephew, get up, don't listen to your father."

Hearing this, Shi Congyun immediately understood why he was able to get along with Shi Yanchao. To put it mildly, he was a person with a frank and unrestrained temperament.

On the way, Dad introduced him again, and Shi Congyun was even more surprised. His uncle, Gao Huaide, was the commander of the Iron Cavalry Capital, serving as the vanguard of Yuhou and the rear guard.

Come on, it's another thigh!

So my uncle also called more affectionately and diligently.

The Iron Cavalry belonged to the Dianqian Division, and was another elite cavalry in the forbidden army besides the bodyguard Si Longjie Army.

However, the establishment of the Temple Front Division was short, and the Guard Division at this time far surpassed that of the Temple Front Division in terms of both the number and quality of soldiers.

Shi Congyun slowly came to understand that both were cavalry generals, and their personalities were informal. In addition, at this time, Shi Yanchao was the commander of the Vanguard Capital, and Gao Huaide was the Marquis of the Vanguard Capital, and he belonged to Shi Yanchao's deputy during the battle. come.

After the men and horses converged, the army began to go north to Xinzhou. Shi Congyun told his father about the experience of the past two days.

Shi Yanchao listened intently on the horseback, and then taught him: "Li Gu is a good man, he is a man of office, you can learn from him.

As for Zhao Kuangyin you mentioned... I have some impressions that he fought well, but unfortunately he is a smooth-tongued birdman who speaks good things in front of officials, so don't imitate him. "

Shi Congyun nodded again and again, indicating to follow the lesson.

But I complained in my heart: Dad, if only half of Zhao Kuangyin could speak!

.......

On the way north to Xinzhou, Wang Zhong complained: "Let's go to Xinzhou. I don't know what the officials thought. Could it be that we have to go to Yanmen to expedition Khitan? People like us are afraid to go to Khitan to plug our teeth."

"You still dare to attack Khitan in the north!" Shi Congyun laughed loudly. "The Liao soldiers in Gaoping hadn't even attacked that day, and you were almost scared to pee." The soldiers also laughed.

Wang Zhong was thick-skinned and said indifferently: "That's different. Gaoping has only Liao soldiers and Han Han. If I go to the border of Liao, the Khitan girl will give me ten, and someone who can kill their bastards!"

"Hmph, one will make you unable to straighten your back!" Shao Ji spoke with contempt.

The crowd laughed again.

Shi Congyun said with a smile: "This time, it is definitely the Liao soldiers who came to the south to rescue us, and will let us go north to Xinzhou."

"Really..." Someone doubted.

"Ha!" Shi Congyun was confident and assured, "The old man expected that the Liao soldiers would go south to Xinzhou! Believe it or not."

People will be suspicious.

.......

In May, the army entered Xinzhou.

With Fu Yanqing, the king of Wei, as the commander, the troops from all walks of life continued to reinforce each other. By May [-], more than [-] people from all walks of life were gathered.

Scheduling is very troublesome, because the troops from different places come from different places, and most of them are foreign troops under the Jiedushi.

The real elite main force is really only the more than [-] elite cavalry brought by Shi Yanchao, and the more than [-] iron cavalry troops of Gao Huaide.

......

Two days later, it was reported from the north that the Liao State had assembled a heavy army to the south, intending to rescue the Northern Han, and had already arrived at Daizhou and was heading for Xinzhou.

On the second day, the news became clearer that the Liao army had reached the boundary between Xin and Dai!

The forward has even reached Xinkou in the north of Xinzhou.

Shi Congyun's generals Wen Zhi were stunned, because as he expected, they were more convinced of him.

.......

In the afternoon, Xiang Xun also came, leading hundreds of cavalry to the north for reinforcements at the order of the official family, to join the army.

When Shi Congyun met, he chatted with him, and then went to see the King of Wei.

On the same day, King Wei Fu Yanqing convened the generals in the city to discuss important matters, and Shi Congyun was not eligible to participate.

The next day, Shi Congyun was talking to Xiang Xun outside the yamen of Xinzhou Mansion, and he happened to meet Fu Yanqing, the legendary King of Wei.

He wears light leather armor, his beard is white, and he looks old.

King Wei had a large frame and was surrounded by people, but he walked half a beat slower than others, causing the people behind him to stop and wait for him from time to time.

It can be seen that he should also be a fierce person when he was young, but now he has lost to the years.

Shi Congyun couldn't help thinking, no wonder he supervised the siege slowly and warmly, which made the officials dissatisfied.

However, he had never had close contact with King Wei, nor had he spoken to him, so he couldn't draw conclusions, so he asked Xiang Xun next to him in a low voice, "What kind of person is King Wei."

Xiang Xun thought about it for a while, and replied in a low voice, "Cao Mengde said that the old Ji is in a position to stay afloat, and his ambition is a thousand miles away; a martyr in his twilight years has a strong heart; the king of Wei is not Cao Mengde."

He said it more euphemistically, and Shi Congyun understood what Xiang Xun meant.

He thought of Fu Yanqing's later actions and situation, and he really felt that he was just an old man who wanted to protect himself. He didn't have much ambition and pursuit. He was no longer Fu Yanqing who defeated the Khitan army when he was young.
