Four hundred and fortieth chapters sound east and west
Lin Renzhao ran out of Jiangning Mansion overnight and rode alone south to the old land of Fujian. To the west was the Zhou army's activity area, and to the east was the territory of Wuyue. Jinling was really ambushing from all sides... It turned out that something happened.
The next morning, he had just arrived at the east bank of Danyang Lake and met the scout of the Zhou army. After chasing for half an hour, he encountered the Zhou army's cavalry again, and was shot to death by the horse and caught.
Lin Renzhao was soon guessed by the Zhou army general because he had a tattoo on his back. So he was tied up and took him to the Zhou army camp at Caishi Ferry.
After a while, it was dark when I arrived at the place. The young general of Zhou army next to him said in a northern accent: "You guys watch it, I'll go in and report." A soldier smiled and said, "This guy is tied up like a rice dumpling. He is in the camp, so it's not easy to run away."
Lin Renzhao did not struggle at all. He was discouraged. If he had known this, why would he have to escape from Jinling? All the people died, and dying in the prison of the Southern Tang Kingdom would not be humiliated by the enemy in vain. He was originally a defeated general under Guo Shao, but it was not enough to lose on the battlefield... He would also know that he "fled for fear of crime" and then come to his door to die!
In addition to being ashamed, he was also a little curious about what that person looked like? Although he was an enemy, Lin Renzhao was indeed convinced and finally failed to lose in the hands of a person he looked down upon... The chief general of the Zhou army was very flexible in using military forces, and he seized every opportunity very accurately.
Lin Renzhao waited outside the door for a while, but the young man who went in to report the news still did not come out. At this moment, he saw a young man with a bun and no hat walking out. He seemed to be walking in a hurry, and he was dressed like he had just come out of the bedroom, without even wearing boots, and wearing a pair of wooden clogs.
"I am Guo Shao." The young man said directly.
Lin Renzhao was stunned for a moment. He did not expect that the Zhou army general was like this and was so young. He did not feel humiliated. Perhaps people were not dressed in disheveled clothes when they met guests, but at this moment, he remembered things like Zhou Gong spit out the food he had eaten.
Before he could think about how to speak, Guo Shao said again: "This man is not Lin Renzhao, but a person who pretends to be a fake. I have seen him during the Battle of Huainan."
Lin Renzhao was misunderstood and was about to defend himself, but he thought about what the use of slapping the matter. He then wondered when the Huainan Battle had a confrontation with Guo Shao...
He didn't even say a word, and then was taken to the pedestal.
"Hurry to loosen the bondage for General Lin!" Guo Shao said anxiously as soon as he entered the hall, "I have long admired General Lin's name, and I really have the spirit of a hero when I saw it today."
Lin Renzhao blurted out, "Why did General Guo say that I am an impersonator?"
Guo Shao said: "Although they are in the Zhou army camp, there are many people outside. I have heard that General Lin is a kind-hearted person who values affection and righteousness and values family members very much. If it is reported too soon, you are captured by the Great Zhou army, it may be detrimental to your family members."
"This..." Lin Renzhao stared at Guo Shao. For a moment, he was really moved. He remembered the various sinister he encountered in Jinling. His current feelings are indeed different.
Lin Renzhao was a strong and burly man, very rough. He did not have too many tricks, but the rough man also felt it. He immediately answered the question and asked: "I am a defeated general under General Guo, and now I am captured again. If I want to kill and cut him, I will not surrender, and it is useless to say more!"
Guo Shao just smiled and looked at him without responding. The momentary silence made Lin Renzhao feel as if he had been seen through... Guo Shao left a deep impression on him after meeting him. He looked at Guo Shao. At first glance, this person looked very ordinary and his skin was a little darkened by the sun. But if he was careful, he would find that this person was very neat... all parts of his body were well-proportioned, his face was sunburned in copper but his face was smooth, and he was wearing a gray robe, but it was very flat and clean. There were more details. Lin Renzhao didn't pay attention to it, just based on a feeling.
Lin Renzhao thought to himself that Guo Shao's eyes were ambitious like a hunter, and the goal of fighting was very clear, so he could unswervingly execute the established tactics; he was also a very meticulous person, so he could grasp the timing very accurately and the steps were very clear.
"I care about my family? General Guo also knows this?" Lin Renzhao asked curiously.
Guo Shao said: "The Southern Tang Kingdom is a great country with thousands of military generals, but not many people are really worth our efforts. I have already known General Lin's background. Now the Great Zhou army still has your file archives."
"I was a little surprised..." Lin Renzhao frowned and pondered. At this moment, he felt very strange. After being captured, he had no sense of humiliation, but by chance he felt very handsome! There were not many people who could understand fame and fortune, but fame was ranked before profit... When he was suddenly looked at by a person he didn't know, especially a person in a high position, and showed respect, it was really difficult to be unhappy.
...Guo Shao said: "I did not persuade General Lin to surrender in a hurry. Why don't we get to know each other first?"
Lin Renzhao said: "What are the defeated generals who are in trouble?"
Guo Shao smiled but said nothing. When Lin Renzhao first emphasized the defeated general, he could see that this person was a very face-saving person... Perhaps the more he claimed to be an open-minded man, the more he valued his face.
Lin Renzhao is indeed capable. He is not only brave in battle, but also has a considerable understanding of war tactics and a keen judgment. He is stubborn in his opinion and wants to go to Dangtucheng, and has a very good tactics. Of course, if he is not capable, Guo Shao will never put down his figure and waste time on him.
But Lin Renzhao may be more difficult to control than Shi Yanchao. One day, if he disobeys the military order, he would not surprise Guo Shao. It is very difficult to use the martial arts man, Li Yu cannot use it, so using him backfires.
No matter what, he has weaknesses, but he also has real skills; if Huangfu Jixun and others are not capable, Guo Shao is not interested... Besides, if a capable person without weaknesses, it will be very stressful to use it.
"It's getting late, General Lin is resting here." Guo Shao said, and ordered his subordinates not to treat him badly. Guo Shao kept talking and kept General Lin, and his respect was beyond words. Of course, Lin Renzhao would not be treated rudely, nor would he dragged into a small black room like he was in Jinling without asking for anything.
At this time, Li Chuyun and Shi Yanchao and several other generals heard the news. Guo Shao wanted to go to bed, so he had to sit with them for a while and talk.
Shi Yanchao seemed to look down on Lin Renzhao very much, and sat down and said, "That guy has a few tricks. He can stop me in a chaotic battle formation and run away. He is skilled and very cunning, hum."
Guo Shao smiled and said, "There are not many people who can make General Shi look down upon him."
After hearing this, Li Chuyun and others looked at each other and smiled bitterly with a teasing look.
Shi Yanchao snorted at the person next to him and turned to look at Guo Shao: "The Lord of Southern Tang in Jiangning Mansion cannot be shaken by the scene. The internal struggle is so fierce. Why don't we take Jiangning City directly?"
Guo Shao looked at Li Chuyun with an inquiry.
Li Chuyun pondered for a long time: "I'm afraid there are risks. Deputy Shi said that the chaos in the Southern Tang Kingdom was right, but until now their strength was not enough to hurt their muscles, but the situation was not good. The problem with our Great Zhou army was that Tokyo and the north had restrained a lot of troops and could not use all their strength, which led to insufficient elite troops used in the Southern Tang Battle.
Jiangning Prefecture has a large number of troops, and the surrounding Runzhou, Jingkou and the river surface are still under the control of the Southern Tang army; the strength of the large area of the southern Tang territory in the southwest also threatens me. Therefore, I thought this was not a big time to attack the city, and I was still in a hurry."
Guo Shao nodded and said directly: "I think the next goal should be the Tang Army Navy in the South of Jingkou."
He reviewed several generals and said, "The biggest result we have achieved at present is to occupy quarrying and open up the natural barriers of the rivers; and the occupied territory has not been much of the Southern Tang army destroyed. To stabilize quarrying and make progress, our vision should still be based on quarrying..."
The generals nodded frequently when they heard this. Guo Shao continued to see this: "The large number of Southern Tang naval troops in Hukou have always threatened Caishi, and may work with the Jingkou naval army to attack Li Chuyun's troops forward and backward. We must not underestimate the combat power of the Southern Tang naval army. Once the quarrying naval army is lost, we will lose control of the river surface and be blocked from retreat and food channels. Control of the river is of great importance.
But the enemy troops in Jingkou are also in danger of being attacked from front and back. The offensive and defensive momentum is only about who takes the initiative and who seizes the fighter plane... So I think the next step should be to deploy the besiege of Jingkou as soon as possible."
Li Chuyun said: "The Great Zhou army can also advance to Jiangning Prefecture on the shore and pretend to take the enemy's capital directly. When the troops are at the city, the Southern Tang army may mobilize heavy troops to return to defense, thinking that it is a plan to attack the east and the west."
Guo Shao agreed and issued several early military orders that night. He ordered Wang Pu to move the central army's shogunate to Caishi; he also ordered Luo Yanhuan to lead a part of the right wing of the Longjie Army left in Chizhou to transfer northwards, and the Zhou army's front line contracted to the northeast to alleviate the shortage of troops.
Then he sent people to Wuyue Kingdom and asked Cao Bin to urge Wuyue Kingdom to send troops to attack Runzhou (Zhenjiang) and cooperate with the Great Zhou army to fight.
