Chapter 434 The Battle of Quarry (III)

5days ago traverse Novels 2
People's pressure and fear are gradually coming.

It’s like a person sentenced to death feels scared, but it’s definitely not as strong as when he was really pulled to the execution ground; and when the gun is pointed at him, he becomes even more desperate; if he fires the gun, unfortunately he gets stuck and wants to shoot again... Brother, please strangle me to death, it’s so fucking scary!

This is how Li Yu felt at this time, and his sense of panic was gradually increasing.

A few months ago, he heard that the Zhou army was going to attack the Southern Tang Kingdom, so he knew that it was very likely that he could not defeat it. He was worried every day and lived like a year in the fright of the country's destruction; but the feelings at that time were not intuitive after all.

Now, he learned that Tongling, Wuhu and Dangtu were defeated one after another, and the Zhou army had arrived at the Caishi Ferry. He gradually felt that the enemy was approaching and was about to hit the nail on the head.

A scene appeared in front of Li Yu: the 800,000 army rushed across the Yangtze River from the Caishi Ferry like a tide, and rushed towards Jiangning Prefecture. His territory was full of enemy troops.

Caishi Ferry is only 120 miles away from Jiangning Mansion where Li Yu is staying!

Not long ago, the Zhou army crossed the river and were still far away in Chizhou, four or five hundred miles apart. In just over half a month, there was no danger in the middle. There was no danger in Jingkou, Chizhou and Wuchang at the beginning. I don’t know where the Zhou army would break through. Jingkou may be the most likely to be there, and it is the closest. Now, Li Yu has realized the seriousness of the quarrying situation no matter what.

There was a sharp arrow pointing at Li Yu's chest.Li Yu felt that his butt could not be sat firmly, and there was needle and needle felt on his seat.

Today is cloudy, and the light atmosphere in the palace is very gloomy, which makes people feel depressed... There are more rainfall in the south of the Yangtze River, which is the least rainy in winter; the temperature is a bit low now, but it is suitable for infantry and cycling activities in the north, and the rivers are shallow and rain less.

At this time, the ministers came to the palace one after another. The king arrived first and the ministers arrived later, and Li Yu was in a very anxious mood today.

After some etiquette, Li Yu couldn't wait to ask: When the Zhou army arrived in Caishi, who had a plan to retreat?

Everyone else has been fighting, and they can't send people to persuade the Zhou army to withdraw with their silence. In the end, they can only fight!

Li Yu knew that he could only send troops to the quarry battle, so he turned his attention to Huangfu Jixun... I hope this general could volunteer to share his worries.

Among the generals in Jinling and those with sufficient status and position, Li Yu is most optimistic about Huangfu Jixun.

After being loyal and kind, loyal and reliable; his military power is also high enough, and he is the commander of the commander of the Shenwei Army.

He is always respectful and commendable in front of Li Yu, and is not that arrogant person.

But at this moment, Huangfu Jixun pretended to be deaf and did not come forward to share his worries.

Li Yu thought to himself: Although he was not proactive enough, he might be because he was worried that he could not beat him. After all, the Zhou army was too strong; people who were steadfast would be more humble, which is also the advantage of caution and reliability.

Loyal ministers are often not the kind of self-boasting and self-recommendation!

At this moment, Kwang Zhengyuan assisted Chen Qiao and said: For the current plan, there is only a policy of dispatching troops to reinforce quarry.I have two words to say: First, use good generals and capable people; second, be fast and never delay.

Previously, I have offered a strategy to advise Your Majesty to send troops to strengthen quarrying defense as soon as possible. At that time, Li Chuyun's people were still hundreds of miles away... I was useless to say too much inadvertently. Today, Li Chuyun's troops in the Zhou army are weak, and Dangtu City is also in my hands.Counterattack with heavy troops as soon as possible, and it will not be too late to make up for the loss of sheep!I recommend Lin Renzhao to lead his army to Caishi and preside over the battle.

After hearing this, Li Yu said that Chen Qiao's words meant to blame the king in public, and he felt a little unhappy. It was normal for anyone to be criticized. What's more, was it my negligence to enter Li Chuyun to quarry?

If you remember correctly, Chen Qiao's strategy to report was to divide the troops from Jingkou, and the focus of strengthening quarrying was on the water surface; if he did as he said early, Jingkou would be lost at that time, they would say that the main attack direction of the Zhou army was in Jingkou, would they blame me for the wrong judgment?

These ministers who have been in high positions for a long time, such as Chen Qiao, Han Xizai, etc., are very brave, and they are a little bit disregarded by the new king, intentionally or unintentionally.

However, Li Yu did not intend to argue with him. After all, fighting with ministers is not a good thing now; Li Yu also wanted to act humbly to accept advice.

He said: Mr. Chen made a point, but although the Zhou army had few people, he had mastered the water surface near the quarry and might increase troops from the river; our country should advance heavily to quarry.Lin Renzhao can be the vanguard of the army...General Huangfu.

Huangfu Jixun hurriedly said, "The last general is here."

Li Yu said: Lin Renzhao, the commander of the Shenwei Army, is the vanguard. You are the commander of the Shenwei Army, how about you go on the expedition as the commander?

No!Before Huangfu Jixun could answer, Chen Qiao suddenly made a speech bluntly, saying that although General Huangfu was a loyal descendant, he had never made any achievements in making any moves, nor had he made any insightful remarks; it is probably not a good move to grant military and national responsibilities based on his background and position.On the battlefield, no matter the origin, it has the same effect.Lin Renzhao was different, at least Weichen knew him better, and this person was the better candidate to preside over the battle of quarry.

Li Yu heard Chen Qiao say bad things about Huangfu Jixun in person. Although his words were quite tactful, his meaning was very clear: he was born and had no ability!

Li Yu remained silent, thinking that this might inspire Huangfu Jixun instead.

Unexpectedly, Huangfu Jixun was not angry and said with a fist: Mr. Chen’s words are not unreasonable.The last general has not taken on a great responsibility... But Lin Renzhao may not be a good person.Neither he nor I are very suitable for taking on this great task!

Chen Qiao said: Why didn’t General Huangfu recommend someone?

Li Yu said at this time: There is no use for civil and military quarrels like this, why not listen to my opinion?

Chen Qiao hurriedly said: I am all advising you, but Your Majesty is the one who issued the order.May you respect Your Majesty's will.Huangfu Jixun also expressed his compliance with the authority of the king.

Li Yu said: If you disagree, you should give in to each other.According to my wishes, Huangfu Jixun was the head coach and Lin Renzhao was the forward.In my opinion, Huangfu Jixun is calm and Lin Renzhao is brave. The two of them discuss and cooperate with each other, and they are each of them for their strengths...

After hearing this, Chen Qiao didn't say a word, but he didn't object.Huangfu Jixun just said that he was willing to obey Your Majesty's imperial edict, and immediately said with his fists: The last one will follow the order.

Li Yu thought about it and said something wrong... Huangfu Jixun had said bad things about Lin Renzhao many times before, and just said that Lin Renzhao was not a good general, obviously he was disagreeing. What to say, discussing and cooperating with each other is just talking lies with his eyes open.

So Li Yu changed his words: Lin Renzhao is the vanguard and can directly obey the court without being subject to the head coach.As long as he is brave enough, no one will limit his ability.

Your Majesty is wise!Only then did Chen Qiao bow with satisfaction.

Giving Lin Renzhao a certain amount of autonomy is obviously a good result for Chen Qiao... Chen Qiao has always recommended Lin Renzhao, and such an order should make him slightly satisfied.

Li Yu also thought it was better to do this... Although Chen Qiao kept saying that he was loyal and virtuous, Li Yu still believed him; but Chen Qiao was considering his identity as a minister.

Li Yu was the king, and he had to be wary of a middle-level military general who was not originally a ruling center. Moreover, he was very unfamiliar with Lin Renzhao and did not know much about it. He made Huangfu Jixun the main general, mainly because Huangfu Jixun was a person in the circle, and he was more reliable, at least he would not sell his masters and seek honor. If Lin Renzhao, a surrendered general in Fujian, wanted to use the Southern Tang army as the capital for surrender, Huangfu Jixun could also restrain him.

Next, he discussed the issue of sending troops with the ministers, and Li Yu urged Huangfu Jixun to prepare for the war as soon as possible.

Huangfu Jixun's main general led the second wing of the imperial guards to more than 40,000 troops, and Lin Renzhao's forward will also receive more than 10,000 people.

Nearly 60,000 reinforced quarrymen, and their troops far exceeded that of Li Chuyun's troops... Because Li Yu felt a strong threat from more than a hundred miles away, he did make a heavy book this time.

Then Li Yu chose another official and took the imperial edict to Hukou again, urging Zhu Lingyun to rush to the capital as soon as possible!

...Li Yu was so tired after dealing with a lot of urgent matters that he could finally leave the front hall and go to the harem to take a breath.

He favored Zhou Xian alone in the harem... because he could not favor other women, and Zhou Xian knew about the private matters of his physical damage during the Li Hongji mutiny. Anyway, there is no need to hide it, and he would be more comfortable with Zhou Xian.

But when Li Yu saw Zhou Xian, he felt like a bucket of cold water was poured on him, and he was very unhappy.

I saw Zhou Xian painting boringly in the bedroom, his hair and face were not unhappy, and even the clothes he wore were very lazy, as if he didn't care about his appearance at all.

Li Yu sighed alas: Humanely speaking, women are tolerant of those who please themselves.Is Ehuang no longer in his heart like this?

Zhou Xian stood up and said lazily: I and the king have been married for many years, and you have been with me all day long. Over time, you naturally don’t care so much.Besides, I don’t want to go out today. It’s so boring to spend so much energy on dressing up. It’s so boring to take off after a while when it gets dark.

I have to worry about military and national affairs. When I am not here, Ehuang can go out to meet other concubines and find someone to accompany me.Li Yu said.

Zhou Xian looked lazy and said boredly: What's there to talk about with them? It's nothing more than trivial words to others, and it's meaningless.

Li Yu said: Zhou Er’s sister has entered the palace, and she is with her mother’s queen.You can walk around more often at the queen of your mother and meet your sister.

Zhou Xian said: I have a mother who loves her. In her heart, the mother is even more close to me, so let her go.

Li Yu talked with Zhou Xian for a few words, and heard her words say it a few times. It was boring. Her spirit was also boring. She has been staying in the bedroom like this for a while and enjoying herself, drawing and reviewing music scores.

Li Yu had a feeling that this woman not only lost interest in her husband, but also seemed to not care much about the survival of the country.Humanity is hard to raise only women and villains, and loyalty is indeed not so reliable.

Zhou Xian was bored and looked a little sloppy at this time, just like a withered flower, and no longer had any vitality.
