5days ago traverse Novels 2
The wood wheels outside rotated and whirled.

Li Chuyun said: Your Majesty, according to the current Privy Council strategy, this battle is actually a surprise attack.

Guo Shao immediately turned his head to look at him and looked at Li Chuyun's face with encouraging eyes.

Li Chuyun continued: There is a chance for a surprise attack.After recapturing Hedong, the Great Zhou army returned to the court. At this time, the Great Zhou and Liao Kingdom still did not negotiate peace. The Liao Kingdom might speculate that our dynasty was intending to use troops.But they don't know when we will use our troops.

This year, next year or the year after, is possible; spring, summer and winter are also possible.(The horse fat on the grassland in autumn is not good for the Central Plains dynasty.)

The king and the envoys and others had a chance of winning if they captured Youzhou City, and the ministers had no objection.However, we have to capture Youzhou within one and a half months to two months, otherwise there will be no fighter jets in the surprise attack.

From Shangjing and other places to Youzhou, it took more than 1,300 miles, and the trip of the Liao army and the horse soldiers only took half a month... As long as the Liao people responded quickly, we could not avoid this reinforcement.It will take as soon as one month for the Liao Kingdom to gather troops from all over the country.

Guo Shao nodded and said yes, Li Chuyun was cautious in his words and actions, but he seemed to have his own opinions on everything.

Li Chuyun bowed and bowed: This battle is a surprise attack, and I want to make a comment.

First of all, military aircraft cannot be leaked, and the Liao people cannot be told before the war begins.

Otherwise, the Liao army would gather the main force in advance. When we arrived in Youzhou, we would soon face the threat of a large army, and there would be no chance of fighting when the surprise attack on Youzhou.

Secondly, once the intention of the Great Zhou army was exposed, it would quickly approach Youzhou; just like the Battle of Jinyang, the main force of the imperial guards would soon come to the city.

Raid attacks are of great speed. Do not delay the trip halfway and give the Liao army a chance to prepare.

If I can do these two places, I also advocate a surprise attack on Youzhou, and I can really give it a try!

After hearing this, Guo Shao praised: General Li’s words are reasonable.

Li Chuyun's suggestion was adopted, but he couldn't help but say: Once something goes wrong in the middle of the court, he should immediately give up the general idea and choose another good opportunity.At this time, the Liao Kingdom was defensive and the Great Zhou was offensive, so it could take the initiative to find appropriate opportunities for combat.

Guo Shao nodded and said: So far, the scouts reported that the cities in southern Youzhou are all Han generals.We don’t have to persuade us to surrender, so as not to alert the enemy. As long as the army arrives, those Han generals should also surrender temporarily.

Li Chuyun said: This is the advantage of the Great Zhou in Youzhou. There are many Han people in Youzhou, and their hearts are towards the Great Zhou.

At this time, the convoy arrived at the northwest schoolyard. Guo Shao heard the noise outside and opened the bamboo curtain and took a look.

He was in high spirits at this time, so he simply got out of the car, abandoned the car and got on the horse, and took his group to the school field to run, and his vision became wider.

Soon the generals discovered that Guo Shao was here to patrol in person, and the generals gathered from all over the place to pay their respects.The army was making a loud noise for a moment, and they shouted to this side.

Guo Shao rode on the horse and raised his hand to wave to the crowd.Suddenly, the shouts became even louder, and people raised their swords and guns and shouted, and the momentum was simply shaken.

He truly felt his prestige in the army.Under such circumstances, he firmly believed that his continued war could still protect the morale of the Zhou army.

Guo Shao moved his eyes slowly and looked at his men.At this time, he saw a soldier who was scrubbing his horse's body in the distance and seemed to be unaffected, and he was still doing his own work intently.

Of course, Guo Shao would not care about the attitude of one or two soldiers, and he would not even directly interfere in the specific military affairs in the military camp.

……

The soldier who was wiping the horse was an old man in his forties or fifties. At this age, he could not be considered an old man. However, the martial artist was always exposed to the wind and sun, and when he was a little older, he was full of wind and frost. Everyone called him Old Man Li.

Yao Erniu is very familiar with Old Man Li.

Old Man Li was born in a war era. He fought all his life and had extremely rich experience in combat formations. Therefore, he could still stay in the Hu Ben Army at this age. He was a mate and a mistress, and he did whatever he arranged... Almost all the soldiers of the Hu Ben Army were young and strong, and people like Old Man Li were rare.

He finally wiped the horse's body and then raised his head to look at the emperor's ceremonial guard, but the emperor was leaving with the horse team.

Unexpectedly, a man rushed to the front with great might. Old Man Li was scared and turned to look at it and it turned out to be Du.They all looked angry and suddenly waved their whip.

Old Man Li hurriedly raised his arm to try to block it. He knew too well what the situation would be if the whip fell on his face, and he would immediately become shady.

As if he saw that his hair was gray and the horse whip was not knocked down, he said angrily: Should I praise you? This little effort can delay your work?

Old Man Li felt uncomfortable. This kid was not old enough to his son, so he fell in front of him to call himself me.

However, the other party was a military general, and Old Man Li was just a miscellaneous soldier, and his superiority and inferiority were obvious.He remembered that he was going to pay his salary today, so he quickly bent down with fear and said: "I know you are wrong, I know you are wrong."

Dutou said coldly: Are you in good health?

Old Man Li busy exercising his arms and said nervously: He is still very tough, there is no need for others to do less work.General, please spare me. I have fought many wars and worked normally. Sometimes I can still be a warrior with swords and guns!

All of them snorted, too lazy to pay attention to him anymore.

When Old Man Li saw that he had left, he let out a long sigh.

A mistress next to him turned to look at him. Old Man Li no longer acted like he had just now. He suddenly seemed to have happened and said: Who doesn’t make some small mistakes?As long as you don’t provoke the prestige of the general, it’s usually okay.

After hearing this, the mistress said: I've received teaching!

After finishing the work, a few miscellaneous soldiers found a place that was not so open and stayed at a leisure time.The young man came up and asked: Old Man Li has a son?

Old Man Li smiled and said: My son is older than you.Our home is in Kaifeng Prefecture, and both of our sons are farming at home.

The man shook his head and said, "Why don't you ask your son to join the army? Old Man Li will be able to go home and have some leisure time."

Most of these young warriors are careless and ask questions as soon as they say anything.Old Man Li didn't care and said with a smile: I just don't allow my son to join the army, so I'm here by myself.

Why?I think there is nothing wrong with joining the army.

He glanced at the young mistress and said: Last time I climbed the city wall in Jinyang, didn’t you go?

You didn't go either. We were staying in Shiling Pass, weren't we waiting for the Liao army?

Old Man Li looked him up and down and said: If you go once, you won’t ask me here.

They passed until noon and heard people say it was time for them to get their military pay.Old Man Li quickly went to the military camp with everyone and asked about it. There were not only copper coins, wheat noodles, but also salt.

Salt is also a popular thing among the soldiers. This thing is very expensive on the market. It can not only be used for home use, but also sold to neighbors. As long as it is a little cheaper, it is easy to sell... The court issued it, and it is not considered selling private salt.

Moreover, the front office of the palace often distributes salt. They transfer it directly from the government, and salt itself is not a valuable thing.

Whenever this happens, Old Man Li feels that everything is worth it.

At this time, in addition to taking most of it home, he can also buy wine and drink.

What is the world over the years?

It not only allows the whole family to have enough food and clothing, but also has wine and drink, which is already very good.
