The next day, when Jinxiang Hall was discussing matters, Wang Pu expressed his opinion: "It is difficult for the Tang army in the south of Hukou to threaten Chizhou.

I heard that Li Jing was seriously ill in Nandu. Li Yu, the king of the Southern Tang Kingdom, had just succeeded to the throne, and his prestige could not intimidate the ministers. Although there were many civil and military officials in the country, there were many factions, including northern geniuses who moved south, locals such as Huainan, Nandu, Jiangdong, and civil and military officials who were surrendered to Fujian and Chu countries. These people could not trust each other and attacked each other; the royal center could not suppress them. In this situation, it was difficult to respond in a timely manner to besiege Li Chuyun with all his strength.

On the other hand, our dynasty had all inherited the Han Dynasty (later) and the two powerful lords of Taizu and the former emperor worked hard to govern the country, and the inside and outside were integrated. After the death of the former emperor, the empress dowager was regent, quelling the rebellion, and the government was clear and clear.

Chizhou's worries are because our dynasty regards the Southern Tang Kingdom as a political and harmonious person. If the Southern Tang Dynasty cultivated both at home and abroad, with its strength, how could our dynasty take advantage of it?

The enemy navy in Hukou was led by Zhu Lingyun, the governor of the Zhennan Kingdom of Southern Tang... The Empress Dowager asked to read the third volume of the enemy generals in the file, which included Zhu Lingyun's file. The son of this person, Zhu Kuangye, did not show any achievements; his father was a little stronger, and he did not have much enterprising intentions. During the battle in Huainan, Li Jing asked for advice, and Zhu Kuangye replied that the situation was gone and he could not help. His father was like this, how brave did his son have?

Therefore, it is said that Li Chuyun is in Chizhou without worries."

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

Guo Shao immediately said: "I agree with the inference of the king's envoy. Gao Yanqiu, the governor of Xiangzhou, and Han Tong restrained the east to intimidate the Southern Tang army... But it is roughly not lucky, it should be taken as a precaution."

Guo Shao and Wang Pu's thinking patterns are different. Wang Pu pays attention to reason and Guo Shao pays attention to logic. He said: "If Zhu Lingyun's troops (Nan Tang Hukou Water Army) go east regardless of everything, there is indeed a possibility of cutting off Li Chuyun's retreat. We cannot let the situation reach a dead end. We need a preparatory plan and prepare early... First, transport grain to Chizhou to support Li Chuyun's troops to guard the long-term garrison; Second, I recommend Yuan Yan to Jiangling Prefecture to train the navy, and suggest Xiang Gong, who is stationed in Shu, Wang Pu mobilizes warships in the two Sichuans to gather at Jiangling Prefecture (Jingzhou).

In case Li Chuyun was cut off from water routes in Chizhou, the military government adjusted its deployment and stopped its radical strategy. The main force of the imperial guards crossed the river from Jiangling Prefecture, merged Yuan Yan's navy to go eastward, and opened up the connection with Li Chuyun's troops. The main strategy was to advance smoothly from west to east..."

Fu Jinzhan finally spoke, "The Ai family agreed to the strategy you presented, so let's follow this plan first. Send people to the capital of the Southern Tang Kingdom to spread an edict and persuade Li Yu to surrender."

...

Tokyo Daliang City has been completely shrouded in the atmosphere of war. Many soldiers who were resting and recuperating returned to the military camps, and the money they had been transported from the imperial city to various military camps to reward soldiers, and many pigs and sheep were slaughtered to improve the food of the warriors... This scene is a habit. Generally, when the imperial guards go out to work hard, the court will reward the soldiers with extra bonuses so that the warriors will be grateful and willing to work hard.

Since the Zhou Dynasty, the court has more control over the army; it was even more exaggerated during the Later Han Dynasty. Guo Wei entered Tokyo, and the imperial guards not only did not resist, but also opened the city gate to lead the way. The legend is that the Later Han royal family was reluctant to give up money before the war (misreporters of warriors).

The most rewards were the Hu Ben Army in front of the Palace, the Hu Ben Army in the left wing, the Hu Ben Army in the control of the Hu Ben Army, and the horse army in the direct way. This team was to go to the Southern Tang Dynasty with Guo Shao; there was also the Zhang Guanghan army in the left wing, the Zhang Guanghan army in the left wing, and they were to be mobilized to Xiangzhou on the north bank of the Yellow River to be stationed. The King of Wei Fu Yanqing was appointed as the north capital to be deployed, and Zhang Guanghan was asked to obey the control of the deployment of the northern capital to be stationed in the north bank of the Yellow River... The Jinzhou Jiedushi Murong Yanzhao was transferred to the three towns of Heyang to command the Heyang Army, as well as the Huainan Ge army stationed there. There were also heavy troops left in Tokyo, and the fierce general Yang Biao was asked to stay in the right wing of the Hu Ben Army in the front of the Palace.

Guo Shao felt that Yang Biao's comprehensive ability was much worse than that of Li Chuyun, but he was also a smart person. The key was that he was reliable. He wanted to keep a reliable general so that the empress dowager could have someone to use when necessary.

Most of the imperial guards' homes are in Tokyo City and are mobilized quickly. Some are on duty in the military camp, and some are also in the city. The whole process only takes a few days. They gather to reward money and share meat, then take the things home and say goodbye to their families, and then gather in the military camp... It is similar to the process when Guo Shao was the ten generals back then.

Everyone was very happy after giving the money, but they were incomparable to sharing money in Chengdu. After all, they were not always able to make money.

However, it was already very generous for Yao Erniu. He didn't make a fortune last time. Although all the soldiers of the imperial guards were rewarded during the celebration of the commendation, it was obviously less than those who fought to Chengdu Prefecture. Yao Erniu was originally a soldier of the "senior camp" of the Palace Front Office. He was the inferior soldier who was eliminated to go to the military farm when Zhao Kuangyin was in charge of the rectification of the Palace Front Office... However, later, the army of the Palace Front Office fought for years and fought against Li Chongjin and defeated Shu Kingdom, and some people died. In addition to transporting elite soldiers from local towns to supplement the troops, the young and strong soldiers who were eliminated returned to the organization of professional soldiers, Yao Erniu was one of them.

He was relatively young, but he was not as tall as ordinary elite soldiers, and he was barely qualified. Last time the Palace Front Office went to the Tunchang camp to select soldiers, Yao Erniu used his strength to pull out a strong bow, so he was incorporated.

The life of professional soldiers and stationed soldiers is completely different. Professional soldiers have money and food, and they are directly supplied by the national treasury. Yao Erniu originally wanted to do it well, but he did a lot of talk on the school ground last time, which put a lot of pressure on him... He said in front of the inspector of the front office that Guo Shao could not become a general in the future, and he could do well in the ironwork. Then the commander Zhang Jiankui, who was above, was very dissatisfied with him.

Yao Erniu wondered if he would eliminate the redundant soldiers and re-select them next time, would he be sent to farm by Zhang Jiankui?

But now it's good that I can breathe a sigh of relief after receiving the reward... When I returned home and paid the pork with money and share, the whole family should be very happy and finally paid the rent for the rent. Yao Erniu had just been selected and had a relatively weak family in Tokyo; in this chaotic era, the land and houses everywhere were not worth much, but every inch of land in Tokyo was valuable, and Yao Erniu could not afford it.

Originally, the military pay was quite a lot, but the Yao family really had too much rice. Yao Erniu's parents were there, and his father was very old. There was an elder brother who left his sister-in-law and nephew after he died. Another sister's husband also died, and brought back a little girl. The whole family of seven, Yao Erniu could make money alone... Yao Erniu was not big, but he could eat very much. Even his mother and sister were the same, and he had a lot of appetite.

Yao Erniu walked to the door and saw that there was no one at his father's vegetable stall, and the room was very noisy and lively. He thought the whole family was waiting for him, but as soon as he entered the door, he found that there were people in the main room. He stood at the door and was stunned.

"Erniu, this is your aunt!" I reminded me.

Yao Erniu came to his senses and called out in a daze. The woman who had just stood up from the bench was his aunt... my sister. Not only that, there were two people around her, the older one was her cousin and the younger one was her cousin.

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

The aunt said happily that she hadn't seen each other for a few years. Erniu had grown up so big. She was very intimate in her concern for her. Then she complained: "There are famine in my hometown, and the villagers have gone out to flee, and most of them have gone to the west. Two months ago, I heard someone tell my sister's house moved to Daliang, so I came to see you..."

Yao Erniu is a little dull, but his mind is still not stupid. He suddenly understood: the three of his aunt's family have to have dinner at Yao's family.

Yao Erniu had no choice but to drive his aunt away, so he didn't say anything at the moment. He handed the money bag he brought back and a big pig's leg to me, and his aunt and cousin's eyes lit up... They must have thought Yao Erniu was a rich man.

In fact, his mother couldn't tell the hardship. She usually had a lot of military pay and rewards compared to ordinary people, but most people didn't have to support seven to ten people alone. She had no land and houses in Tokyo. Yao Erniu worked hard, and if she died one day, the family would be old, weak, and children.

Only one piece of pig legs brought back here can be left, and it is more suitable to use it if you have to buy other food on the market for money to buy food.

When it was lunch, a thin plate of meat was placed on the table. Of course, this was already great for the aunt and her family. There was still meat! My cousin was impatient to pick it up with chopsticks, but his sister stopped him and whispered: "My cousin wants to put in the effort, not for you to eat."

Yao Erniu was embarrassed to eat it. When the roasted wheat cakes and vegetable soup came up, he opened his stomach to eat the wheat cakes. He ate more than a pound in one breath. When he turned to look at the people around the square table, everyone was eating without saying a word and was trying hard to eat... but they couldn't care about their fullness. After each person finished eating, they drank vegetable porridge and the water pipes were full. Only Yao Erniu could eat enough because he had to maintain a strong body to be used by the imperial guards.

"Our family has two meals a day and we won't eat at night..." My mother whispered in her voice.

Yao Erniu left the dining table without saying a word. His sister-in-law and sister came to help him pack up their things in a short while, and only a pair of armor seemed very valuable... The new plate armor provided by the Jiafang Bureau, flattened into streamlined iron plates, well-made lock mail inlaid, brand new and metallic luster. The craftsmanship is simply disagreeable with the poverty-stricken appearance of Yao Erniu's family, as if two things from the world were merged together.

When he was full, he lay on a pile of thatched grass, watching the two women packing him carefully. He thought to himself that it would be better for his nephew to keep his mother, but it was the blood of the Yao family. The little girl of the sister was married to her teens anyway, so it would be better to raise some dowry for her and remarry.

The thatched sting made his neck itchy and painful. He couldn't help but reach out and scratched for a while, lying there lazily in a daze.
