Five Dynasties River Mountains Fengyue

This further confirms the previous speculation that the official's attack on Houshu was not a drunkard's intention, but just paved the way for the attack on the Southern Tang Dynasty.

As soon as there was a result in Houshu, the army here has already set off without stopping.

Moreover, Shu only sent 2 forbidden troops after the war, and the strikers of the Southern Tang Dynasty here are the main force of the forbidden army, Long Jie and Hu Jie, with [-] people!

There will definitely be follow-up investment. Shi Congyun is no longer a rookie two years ago, but also a veteran in the battlefield. He is keenly aware that the officials are going to fight this time!It is completely different from the scale of Fashu.

Chapter 110, The Prime Ministers of the Zhou Dynasty

These days, war seems to be a common occurrence. Even children grow up listening to war news and falling asleep to war stories, so that large-scale war mobilization did not cause much panic.

Everything in Daliang City was as usual, everyone should eat and sleep, as if nothing major had happened.

Shi Congyun and Zhao Xiaoniang are like glue, after all, they were like this from the beginning, but Zhao Shijian is not him, so he is not so easy to let go.

On the third day, he blushed and urged Shi Congyun to get down to business.

Shi Congyun taught her with a displeased face: "Zhao Shijian, you have to learn to get out of the mud without being stained, don't care about the world's eyes, let's do our own thing, why are you shy, and don't care what outsiders think."

Zhao Shijian became even more shy. These words seemed reasonable and high-sounding, but why did they always feel indecent when they came out of his mouth at this time.

Rebuttal:

"My lord should focus on the big things. Now that you have made a contribution, it's time to meet the princes in the court. After this matter is over, people will ignore you when you go to the house.

Don't worry about other things, I... I'm right here. "

At the end, her voice became smaller and smaller, Shi Congyun laughed loudly, and quietly stretched out her big hand to touch the back, "Then wait for me to come back."

Then he hurried out and went out.

........

Shi Congyun also understands this truth. This is the time when he has the best chance to meet those big men. The so-called strike while the iron is hot, in the future when he fights against the Southern Tang, his achievements will gradually fade and be forgotten, and they will not be so important.

So Shi Congyun went to the Dianqian Office to report on the same day.

In front of the palace, Zhang Yongde was practicing martial arts shirtless, he laughed when he came in, and then walked over and said: "Master Shi Xiang fought very well in Guanzhong."

Shi Congyun cupped his hands: "The commander in chief is too famous."

"I have no reputation, this battle must have made the Kingdom of Shu terrified." Zhang Yongde patted him on the shoulder, and then said: "However, the Lord of the Kingdom of Shu really does not know how to repent. If you want someone to see it, you should increase your troops and conquer Chengdu in one fell swoop, to see if he dares to be rampant!"

Shi Congyun laughed: "Marshal Dian is right, but in my opinion, now is not the time to enter Chengdu."

"You speak the same way as Wang Wenbo." Zhang Yongde didn't say any more about this matter, and then said: "After finally coming back from the front line, you can rest for a while and have a good year.

Before that, you need to handover with the Privy Council, and you will be the commander of the left wing of the crane in the future. "

"No!" Shi Congyun agreed.

Just as he was about to leave for the Privy Council, Zhang Yongde suddenly stopped him: "By the way, Lord Shixiang, do you know the residence of Prince Wei opposite the Daxiangguo Temple?"

Shi Congyun nodded, not understanding why Zhang Yongde would mention this all of a sudden.

"Go and pay a visit when you have time. The King of Wei controls Wei Bo's elite soldiers. You should learn more from him."

Shi Congyun promised again, muttering in his heart, learn from King Wei?Fu Yanqing is not in Hebei, he went to learn a ghost.

But as soon as he turned his head, he quickly understood what was going on. It might be that the queen asked Zhang Yongde to take it.

The Fu family wanted to marry him a daughter, but the Fu family had the King of Wei, who held Wei Bo's elite soldiers, and a queen sitting in the palace, so it was impossible to come to ask him to marry him, instead, he should come to ask for marriage.

But such words directly made Queen Fu say it was impossible, so a middleman was needed, and the middleman was Zhang Yongde.

No wonder he said such contradictory and strange words, Shi Congyun thought to himself.

He understands Zhang Yongde's hint, sometime he will find an opportunity to pay a visit to Fu's mansion, he just hopes that the sixth son of the Fu family is not an ugly monster.

......

Afterwards, Shi Congyun reported to the Privy Council as ordered.

The clerk at the gate of the Privy Council Office gave him a surprised look after he gave his name, and then let him in.

After entering, Wei Renpu was inside, nodded when he saw him, and said directly: "Zhang Yongde asked you to come."

Shi Congyun should be.

"Sit down, Master Shi Xiang's letter of appointment has been prepared long ago, so I'll send it here." As he spoke, he waved for someone to pick it up.

After that, he stopped talking, and lowered his head to do his own thing, dancing with the brush in his hand, while Shi Congyun sat quietly on the side knowingly and interestingly.

After a while, the officials of the Privy Council who went to get the letter of appointment hadn't come back yet, Wei Renpu had put down the pen in his hand, and suddenly there was a gap, the room was very quiet, even a little awkward.

Wei Renpu opened his mouth to break the embarrassment: "Master Shi Xiang, do you know why the officials sent troops in the cold winter? Many of the officials' scholars who asked questions before the emperor felt that it was inappropriate, thinking that it was not appropriate to send troops in the cold weather."

Shi Congyun heard Wei Renpu's intention of taking a school exam, so he quickly sat up straight, thought for a while and said seriously: "I think it makes sense for the officials and ministers to send troops in winter.

Although the cold weather is really not suitable for sending troops, but the Southern Tang Dynasty has to cross the Huaihe River, and winter is a dry season, which is suitable for building bridges on the river. It is best to send troops in winter. "

Wei Renpu's eyes lit up, he nodded and said, "That's right, he is indeed the one who can defeat Li Yangui and the army of the Shu Kingdom, few young men can see through like you.

The old man has met many people, and he thinks that he is knowledgeable and knowledgeable, and he talks about things endlessly, let alone doing them, but he doesn't even understand some common sense.

The Southern Tang Dynasty wanted to guard the Huaihe River, and we wanted to cross the Huaihe River. It is best to force crossing and erect pontoon bridges during the dry season in winter.

As long as we cross the river and build bridges in winter, and guard the bridgehead, the follow-up army will be able to cross the river in one fell swoop and attack south in the spring of the next year. "

Shi Congyun said with emotion: "The officials and the gentlemen are really thoughtful." This sentence is from the heart.

Wei Renpu himself stroked his beard and smiled. Shi Congyun's flattery was obviously right, and he had a part in making the Southern Tang offensive plan.

After a while, the official finally came back, and sent Shi Congyun's letter of appointment and a list with the seal of the Privy Council, telling him to go to Taicang to collect things.

Probably the owner's official uniform, armor and ceremonial equipment.

Afterwards, Shi Congyun politely bid farewell to Wei Renpu and withdrew from the Privy Council.

I felt a little emotional, the prime ministers of the Zhou Dynasty, except for Fan Zhi, who Shi Congyun had never seen before, Li Gu, Wei Renpu, Wang Pu, Wang Pu and others were all very good.

Usually official decision-making must have their participation.

Needless to say, Li Gu, who has worked hard and is capable of doing practical things, not to mention his previous achievements. During the Battle of Gaoping, Li Gu raised a large army of food and grass. The Yellow River flooded. Dispatch each army as a forward.

Wei Renpu is a type of battlefield staff officer. Before the Battle of Gaoping, he advised the officials. After returning, he was in charge of the Privy Council and the prime minister's foreign military affairs.

Wang Pu, on the other hand, was very young. He became prime minister in his early thirties and was very capable in handling government affairs.

On the other hand, Wang Pu has a straight personality, but he is very wise and has a strategic vision. According to the information disclosed to him by Pan Meihe and Xiang Xun, most of the strategic layout and planning for the government to rule the world were formulated by Wang Pu.

It can only be said that the Great Zhou Dynasty is not just about military generals, such as Shi Yanchao, Zhao Kuangyin, Wang Quanbin, Xiang Xun, Pan Mei, Gao Huaide, Wang Shenqi, Han Lingkun, Wang Yanchao, Wang Jing, Zhang Yongde, Li Chongjin, Li Jixun, Shi Congyun, Murong Yan Zhao, etc., and Cao Bin, Li Chuyun, etc. in the future.

And there are also many talents among civil servants, and most of the prime ministers are capable and practical.

This also strengthened Shi Congyun's inner thoughts, and he must have a good relationship with these gentlemen!

Chapter 111, Young people need to connect emotionally

"Brother Yun is really showing off in Hanzhong this time, we are really envious." In the restaurant, Zhao Kuangyin toasted and laughed, his black face was particularly eye-catching, and there were wine beads on his beard.

At this time, the restaurants in Daliang were not so particular about luxury, and they were definitely not as good as when the world was peaceful.

Present here are Shi Congyun, Wang Zhong, Shao Ji, Pan Mei, Dong Zunhui, Luo Yanhuan, Wang Shenqi, Zhao Kuangyin, and Zhao Kuangyi.

Zhao Kuangyin was very kind to his younger brother, he took him with him everywhere, and even brought him to meet friends.

However, Zhao Kuangyi was obviously out of tune with the current atmosphere, and could hardly get in the way, and no one answered his mouth a few times, because he was talking about the romance of Daliang City, and everyone was talking about iron affairs on the battlefield.

"Brother Zhao, don't be envious. The officials have already used troops against Nantang. With your talent, you will have a chance sooner or later." Shi Congyun smiled on the surface, but he couldn't laugh in his heart. He regarded Lao Zhao as a threat.

Unexpectedly, I went out to fight desperately, and was finally promoted to the commander of the left wing of the Crane Control Army. When I came back, Lao Zhao was directly appointed as the Marquis of Yu in front of the palace because he was valued by the officials. Just like in history, he was half taller than him class.

Does gold always shine?Shi Congyun felt a little displeased. How can gold be airborne? He was credited with fighting with his life on the front line of the Qing Dynasty and taking the lead.

"If you want me to think that the Southern Tang Kingdom may be as unbeaten as the Shu Kingdom." Dong Zunhui interrupted: "The forwards are Long Jie and Hu Jie with 2 people. How can they stop it?"

Shao Ji nodded in agreement: "Long Jie and Hu Jie are elite soldiers who have fought a hundred battles, they are different from other soldiers."

"It's good that we can go too, maybe we can get some more credit." Wang Zhong interrupted hastily.

"The officials transferred us back all the way, and we will definitely not be idle. You can rest assured about this." Pan Mei said on the sidelines.

When Shi Congyun heard him use the word "we", he thought that Pan Mei had unknowingly recognized herself as one of them.

Shi Congyun reminded: "Don't underestimate the Southern Tang Kingdom, or you will suffer a lot."

"What's the difference between them and the Kingdom of Shu, they always fight.

In the valley to the west our cavalry is useless, but in the Southern Tang area, most places can run horses, so there is nothing to be afraid of. "Dong Zunhui didn't care too much.

Wang Zhong also echoed: "This time, the fight may last for a few months, at most half a year. Before we go south, the Southern Tang Kingdom has surrendered by itself."

Pan Mei shook her head and said with a helpless smile, "You don't know how big Nantang is."

"Big is second, the key is that we can't run horses on the river." Wang Shenqi, who was silent and seldom spoke, said, "Southern Tang is full of rivers and lakes, and there are many warships and navy."

Shi Congyun felt that Wang Shenqi had hit a point.

"Indeed, the navy of the Southerners has always been powerful." Zhao Kuangyin also clicked his tongue.

"......"

In Shi Congyun's memory, the Southern Tang Dynasty was completely wiped out after a long delay after the establishment of the Northern Song Dynasty.

Moreover, he remembered that the war against the Southern Tang was the most important event after Guo Rong succeeded to the throne. It lasted for several years, and even though he finally captured a large area of ​​land north of the Yangtze River, he was still unable to completely wipe out the Southern Tang.

Unlike the Later Shu Kingdom, the Southern Tang Dynasty was powerful enough to compete with the Central Plains. There were a lot of talents, and there were many generals who were good at fighting. It was not easy for the Zhou Kingdom to fight.

It's a pity that the ministers are strong and the master is weak, so that many capable generals died with hatred and their abilities could not be fully utilized. This is very similar to the later Song Dynasty.

Everyone was discussing the war in the Southern Tang Dynasty happily, Zhao Kuangyi interjected and said, "Speaking of the long and short sentences about Master Shi Xiang in Huanghua Valley, I have some opinions..."

"If I don't believe them, I will live in the river and never get off the boat. As long as they dare to get off the boat, I will kill all of them. Whoever is afraid of them!"

Dong Zunhui shouted in a loud voice, he was arguing with Wang Zhong, Pan Mei, and Wang Shenqi, this voice suddenly interrupted Zhao Kuangyi's words and attracted everyone's attention.

Zhao Kuangyi spoke in a gentle and refined manner, with a low voice, and being disturbed by Dong Zunhui, so many people present except Shi Congyun didn't hear or care about what he said.

They all went to argue with Dong Zunhui, who made him a good guy.

On the other side, the corner of Zhao Kuangyi's mouth twitched. He wanted to interject a few times but failed to attract everyone's attention. Occasionally he had the opportunity to say a few words and was immediately taken away by everyone, because the topics he said were difficult to arouse everyone's interest, even his brother Zhao Kuangyin was no exception.

All the people here are men who came from fighting in the army, and they speak more straightforwardly, even the taciturn Wang Shenqi is like this, and Zhao Kuangyi, who is bookish and has nothing in common with everyone, naturally can't speak.

Zhao Kuangyi's complexion became more and more ugly, especially when he looked at Dong Zunhui occasionally, as if he wanted to eat people, but no one cared about his complexion, except Shi Congyun.

Discussions gradually turned into arguments, then quarrels, and finally turned into a bragging conference. One said what if I went to fight the Southern Tang Dynasty, the other said how to defeat the Southern Tang Navy, and some said that I would kill Jinling within a few months. …

Literati are bragging, and they pay attention to style, otherwise no one will praise them no matter how powerful they are; warriors are bragging, they have no bottom line, and when they are half drunk, they can blow everything. Even Shi Congyun blush for them .

......

That day, I got together with a young man to connect with each other and went home in the afternoon.

After returning home, Zhao Shijian had already boiled water and waited for him as usual.

In the past, he liked to take a bath in a big wooden barrel, and Zhao Shijian boiled water for him outside, but now that he thought about it, it was a huge waste, so when Zhao Xiaoniang exclaimed, he was pulled into the big barrel together, and the two washed together Ordinary bath........

.......

After an ordinary bath, Zhao Shijian leaned against his chest powerlessly and said something to him while blushing.

"Luqiu Zhongqing from the Zhaoyi Army has already arrived, and you were outside at that time, Patriarch..."

"It's still called Patriarch." Shi Congyun touched it dissatisfied.

Zhao Shijian got angry, lightly slapped his restless hand, and changed his words: "It's business, you should be quiet, my father said that he doesn't need literati to mix in, so I put him in the West Courtyard Guest room."

"How is he?" Shi Congyun asked. He didn't expect much from Lu Qiu Zhongqing, a native of Shandong from Hebei. He just heard that he had served as an officer in the Zhaoyi Army. He was familiar with many things about bringing him here. A person who can do things.

This is like many companies in later generations value resumes. To put it bluntly, it is a trick, because supporting a professional requires time and money. It is best to have ready-made ones.

Zhao Shijian thought for a while, "I don't know how to say it. I talked to him twice and asked some questions. I think he is a knowledgeable person, different from ordinary scholars."

He is still at ease about Zhao Shijian's level. If Zhao Shijian says he has a level, it means that the officer named Luqiu Zhongqing might really have something.

"Is he coming by himself or with his family?" Shi Congyun asked.

"All the young and old are here." Zhao Shijian agreed.

Shi Congyun nodded, which made him feel more fond of Luqiu Zhongqing. If he dragged his family over here, at least he wanted to do a good job here. If he just had an attitude of trying, he should leave his family behind. Hebei.

"Tomorrow I'll try him out myself, and I'll know when the time comes, if he's really capable, I'll keep him by my side.
