Chapter 105 Jushu (1)

5days ago traverse Novels 2
Guo Shao received the military order from the Privy Council, said goodbye to the people at home, and led his army out of the capital.

He was very considerate of his subordinates and asked everyone to divide the stolen goods, and then arranged positions for the generals in the name of the commander-in-chief of the Xiangdu.

Some relatively high positions are temporarily held, and have been written to report to the Tokyo Personal Military Guards Department. However, Li Chongjin, the commander of the Ma Bu and Wei Renpu, the Privy Councilor of the Privy Council, were both in Huainan, so no one would approve it, so he had to copy another copy to Li Chongjin first after he arrived in Huainan.

The Ma Jun Division and the Infantry Division of the Guards Division were in charge of the Long Jie Army and the Hu Jie Army respectively.

However, the Cavalry and Infantry Division are just titles, because the Longjie Army and Tiger Army each have cavalry and infantry, and the Longjie Army's cavalry are mostly stronger.

The book was written with Li Chuyun as the commander of the first army, Luo Yanhuan as the commander of the capital; Wang Zhang, the former capital of the second army, was the commander of the capital (he helped Guo Shao win a key battle in Tangcang Town), Yang Biao as the commander of the capital, and Luo Mengzi as the commander of the personal soldiers.

Because some middle and low-level military generals were seriously injured in battle, other meritorious soldiers were promoted; Guo Shao was appointed directly... The righteous way was to give everyone a share of the key positions with money, but the military power was powered by the military, Guo Shao silently gave all of his confidants.

Wang Zhang of the Second Army also said that there was no one above and was willing to compete for it.

More than ten days later, the troops arrived at the north bank of the Huai River, and then Guo Shao arranged the army to cross the river from the floating bridge on the river in batches.

Just entered July and the weather was still so hot.

Guo Shao stood by the Huai River and looked back. The endless fields were lush and green on the fields, and the sky was blue and clear. The Huainan Plain was a good place in this era, which was both conducive to farming and transportation.

It is completely different from what I saw in the Qinling ravine at the beginning of the year... No wonder the Emperor of Great Zhou and Southern Tang fought to death, and both sides did not hesitate to invest the whole country in fighting for this land here.

The place where the floating bridge was established was no longer Zhengyang to the west of Shouzhou (now Shou County), but in Xiacai Town (now Anwei Fengtai County) to the north of Shouzhou... On the road entering this area, there is a very tall and spacious archway, with Xiacai on the top of the book, I really don’t know the place name.

I heard that the Zhou army's floating bridge was in Zhengyang before, but it is unknown how they moved to Xiacai. Perhaps the emperor believed that Zhucheng in the upper reaches of the Huai River had not been captured, and that the terrain of that place was too wide and easily attacked by the Tang army?

The places of these floating bridges in Xia Cai are a bit particular. The Huai River has a very curvature here, forming an upper shape of a convex character, and Xia Cai is at the top of the convex character.

The terrain of the river is wide to the north, and after crossing the river, it is limited by the river and is relatively narrow and long.

Guo Shao led his troops to cross the Huai River safely and without any trouble. The Huai River in Xia Cai was controlled by the Zhou army and was very peaceful.

But as soon as he passed the Huai River, Guo Shao's right eyelid twitched inexplicably... He said that his right eye was stuttering, and he felt uneasy when he thought about it, and he felt a little unpleasant.

Since the Taoist priest's elixir cured the queen's disease and contacted the words of the Taoist Mayi about fate, even though Guo Shao received a lot of modern education, he could not help but become more and more superstitious.

He always felt that these mysterious things were indecipherable.

With a faint uneasy mood, Guo Shao led his troops to go south along the Huai River, walked along the main road, and arrived at the bank of a river in the afternoon, with a stone arch bridge on the river.

This river flows to the Huai River in the south, called Feishui, which seems to be the place where the Battle of Feishui.

Nowadays, compared with the Huai River, the river surface is relatively narrow, and some places are shallow, and you may be able to cross the river by hiking.

However, it is still convenient to cross the bridge with a bridge.

The troops were endless, and the marching steps in front of them were neat, and the sounds of Ka, Ka, Ka... were very similar to the rhythm of modern troops walking in a uniform pace.

Guo Shao looked up and saw that the stone arch bridge in front was a little unsolid. He remembered the resonance phenomenon, so he ordered the troops to disrupt the queue and walk across the bridge.

... Unexpectedly, just as Guo Shao crossed the bridge, he saw a civil servant watching with several riders on the road. The official sighed when he saw Guo Shao's army was in chaos.

Guo Shao smiled and went up to pay homage, exchanged greetings, and after asking, he found out that it was Dou Yi, a Hanlin bachelor.

A person whom I don't know at all.

But when Dou Yi introduced someone else, there was a person with him named Zhao Pu, which made Guo Shao feel that he had heard of it somewhere... But Zhao Pu seemed to be an unknown person and didn't even introduce his official position. Guo Shao felt a little surprised, but suddenly he didn't remember what was going on.

Guo Shao just saw Dou Yi sighing and explained: He walked too neatly, and it may collapse the bridge, causing unhelpful casualties.

Dou Yi was stunned and silent.Guo Shao couldn't speak out, and somehow told the bachelor of the Hanlin Academy that he had to give up, but he just sighed inwardly: It's terrible that the bachelor's lack of education is terrible.

Guo Shao then bid farewell to Dou Yi. At this time, the noise in the south could be heard. Guo Shao looked into the distance and saw the smoke-filled Shouzhou City Tower in the depths of the wilderness.

In addition to all kinds of noises, there were also people shouting.

He entered the battlefield so quickly, and the Zhou army's front line was really long. I heard that the vanguard had captured Chuzhou City not far from the Yangtze River, and the Huai River was still fighting.

At this moment, Guo Shao met another official, a man in his fifties.

Like Dou Yi, he was wearing official uniforms and stood on the side of the road to see the marching army.

This person's eyes are narrow and long, his seal is not plump, his cheeks are full, and he has a beard, and his figure is tall.

Guo Shao rode his horse to the side of the road, and the man looked at him with a smile.Guo Shao looked at it, patted his forehead, and smiled: Prime Minister Li!

It turned out to be Li Gu, and Guo Shao felt familiar... Before this, I only saw Li Gu in my life. Last year, on the way from Gaoping to Jinyang, Li Gu also rewarded Guo Shao with more than 20 horses.

Ha ha!Li Gu laughed loudly, Guo Du is good at memory, and it’s been more than a year since you met, and you still remember me.But I am not the prime minister now.

Guo Shao thought that when he arrived in Huainan, the most likely acquaintance he met was Wang Pu, but unexpectedly, it was Li Gu who was not very familiar with, and he never expected it.

Suddenly, Guo Shao met someone he knew, and blurted out: Haha, it is easy to forget who treats me badly; but he always remembers clearly who treats me well!Last year, Mr. Li rewarded me with more than 20 military horses. At that time, it was quite generous to me. How could I not remember it?

good!good!Li Gu smiled and his eyes looked at Guo Shao even more interesting.Perhaps it was because he blurted out good or bad truths.

Li Gu sighed again: He has been promoted quickly through military merits, and he has not seen each other for more than a year. He really has been treated with admiration for three days.

Wherever.Guo Shao pretended to be modest, what important position does Mr. Li hold now?

Li Gudao: The matter of Shouzhou Prefecture is judged.Now I mainly supply military rations and prepare for military ordnance for the various ministries of Shouzhou; I will also send people to nearby places to appease the people and let them all serve their duties.I no longer lead the troops, but these things are also very difficult. The soldiers are arrogant and often kill innocent people, and they are constantly banned.

Guo Shao hurriedly said: I will definitely restrain my subordinates and prohibit them from burning, killing, and looting, and not causing trouble for Mr. Li.He thought to himself: If you can share the spoils by robbing money, what else can you do to rob?

Li Gu suddenly looked very heart-warming about Guo Shao and said in a deep voice: The official blames me for missing the opportunity to fight and almost convicted.

Guo Shao didn't think much about it and said directly: I have heard about Zhengyang. Mr. Li is a steady and cautious person, so he works every step; while the officials are eager to win... They just have different ideas, so I don't think Mr. Li did anything wrong.

That's it.Li Gu touched his beard and agreed very much.

Li Gu said again: By the way, the new military camps are also arranged by me, so I am waiting for Guo Du envoy here.I'm going with you now. The barracks and barriers have been repaired. The camp also includes a small requisitioned village. The central army can be set up in the village, and there are many houses to live in, which is much better than living in a tent.

Guo Shao hurriedly thanked: That's a great place, thank you for your care.

Haha, it should be.Li Gu said with a smile.

The group followed the army closer to Shouzhou City and came to the west of the city.

Guo Shao observed all the way and found that the terrain of Shouzhou City was actually not so sinister: although it was said to be guarding the Huai River, it was not on the edge of the Huai River. There was a vast flat area to the northwest from the Huai River, and there were even many rice fields in the middle.

The river flowing to the Huai River by Chaohu Lake in the north is Feishui. There is a water gate on the north side, and there are relatively flat places on three sides; the terrain that is affected by enemies on three sides and threatened by water on one side is really not a dangerous place.

However, the Shouzhou city wall looks very tall and has a very wide moat, which should have taken a lot of effort to build the city.

As he got closer, Guo Shao saw countless siege equipment set outside the city wall. Several moats were filled in. Some ladders were laid on the city wall. People who were burning on fire continued to fall. Black smoke rolled outside the city, stones and arrows flew around in the air, and countless people were surrounded on three sides.

The noise and shouting make people's ears buzz.

On the road far away from the Shouzhou city wall, continuous civilians and heroes carried the terrible wounded soldiers toward this side, and there were crowds on the road.

At this moment, Guo Shao's scalp suddenly became numb and he thought to himself: I hope I won't let me attack the city. This is really a matter of fact. It's so miserable.

I think the first and second troops of the left wing of the Hujie Army are two elite field soldiers that are more capable of fighting in the left wing. They should not be caught up and climbed the wall, otherwise it would be too wasteful.Thinking of this, Guo Shao felt a little relieved.

Guo Shao invited Li Gu to the military camp again.

Unexpectedly, Li Gu said: I will send you food and prepare weapons in the future, and there are many opportunities to travel.Now Guo Du is better to rush to the Central Army camp to meet the official family... Li Gu whispered, I just heard that there was a secret report, and the Eastern Capital of the Southern Tang Dynasty (Yangzhou) was not in garrison.I guess the official family will rush to Chuzhou to deploy a new battle in person recently. If you don’t go to meet someone, you won’t even be able to meet the official family when you come to Huainan.

Thank you Mr. Li for your reminder.Guo Shao then did not stay, so he quickly asked the place and went to the Central Army camp.

When I entered the camp gate, I met Wang Pu and was gently reminded: The official family wanted you to attack Shouzhou City.

Guo Shao's face suddenly turned dark and he thought to himself: I'll take it!
