Chapter 442: Going east to attack west

5days ago traverse Novels 2
Lin Renzhao ran out of Jiangning Mansion overnight and rode alone south to the old land of Fujian.To the west is the area of ​​the Zhou army, to the east is the territory of Wu Yue Kingdom, and Jinling is really ambushing from all sides... Sure enough, 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, his horse was shot to death, and his person was 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 taken to the Zhou army camp at Caishi Ferry.

After a lot of trouble, it was dark when I got to the place.

The young general Zhou army next to him said in a northern accent: You can watch it, I'll go in and report it.A soldier smiled and said: This guy was tied up like a rice dumpling. He was in the camp, so it would be difficult to run away.

Lin Renzhao did not struggle at all. He was already discouraged. If he had known this, why would he have tried his best to escape from Jinling?

All the people are dead, and dying in the prison of the Southern Tang Kingdom will also avoid being humiliated by the enemy in vain.

It was originally a defeated general under Guo Shao, but it was not enough to lose on the battlefield... He also knew that he was fleeing for fear of his crime and then came 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 to lose, 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 troops, and he seized the opportunity very accurately.

Lin Renzhao waited outside the door for a long time, but the young player who went in to report still did not come out.

At this moment, a young man with a bun and no hat walked out, as if he was walking in a hurry, and his whole body was dressed like he had just come out of the bedroom, not 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 commander of Zhou army would look like this and be so young.

He didn't feel humiliated either. Perhaps people were unruly dressed 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 person is not Lin Renzhao, but a person who pretends to be.I saw him during the Battle of Huainan.

Lin Renzhao was misunderstood and was about to defend himself, but he thought about what the use of slandering was?I wondered when the Huainan Battle would have had a confrontation with Guo Shao...

He didn't even say a word, and then was taken to the marching ground.

Hurry up and loosen the ties for General Lin!As soon as Guo Shao entered the hall, he said anxiously, "I have long admired General Lin's name, and I really feel heroic when I see it today."

Lin Renzhao blurted out: Why did General Guo just say that I am an impersonator?

Guo Shao said: Although he is in the Zhou army camp, there are many people outside and talk a lot.I once heard that General Lin is a sincere 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 sinister he encountered in Jinling. His current feelings are indeed different.

Lin Renzhao is a strong and burly man, very rough. He really doesn’t have much fun, but the rough man also has feelings.

He immediately answered the question: I am a defeated general under General Guo, and now I am captured again. If you want to kill or cut, you will be punished. But I will not surrender, and it is useless to say more!

Guo Shao just smiled and looked at him without answering the conversation.

The momentary silence made Lin Renzhao feel as if he had been seen through... Guo Shao left a deep impression on him just after he met.

He looked at Guo Shao and saw that this person looked ordinary at first glance, 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 clean. He was wearing a gray robe, but it was very flat and clean.

There are more details that Lin Renzhao didn't pay attention to, 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 person with very meticulous mind, so he could grasp the timing very accurately and the steps were very clear.

I care about family?General Guo also knows this?Lin Renzhao asked curiously.

Guo Shao said: The Southern Tang Kingdom is a big country with thousands of military generals, but not many people are truly worth our efforts.I have already known General Lin’s background. Now the Great Zhou Army Office still has your file archives left.

I was a little surprised... Lin Renzhao frowned and pondered.

At this moment, he felt strange.

After being captured, he had no sense of humiliation at all, but by chance he felt very handsome!

There are not many people who can understand fame and fortune, but fame ranks before profit... When suddenly being looked at by a person who is not familiar with each other, especially a person in a high position, and showing respect, it is 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 not good at getting to know each other?

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 considerable insights and keen judgments on war tactics. He is stubborn in his own opinion and wants to go to Dangtucheng, and has great tactics.

Of course, if he was not capable, Guo Shao would never let go of his figure and wasted time on him.

But Lin Renzhao may be more difficult to control than Shi Yanchao. One day, if he disobeys military orders, he will not surprise Guo Shao.It's a very bad martial artist, so Li Yu couldn't 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 reuse it.

It was getting late, so General Lin rested here.Guo Shao said, and ordered his subordinates not to treat him badly.

Guo Shao spoke all the time when he kept talking, and his respect was beyond words. Of course, Lin Renzhao would not be treated rudely, nor would he dragged into a small black room without asking for anything but beating.

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 can stop me in a messy battle formation, run away, and he is skilled and cunning.

Guo Shao smiled and said: There are not many people who can be respected by General Shi.

After hearing this, Li Chuyun and others looked at each other and smiled bitterly with a teasing look.

Shi Yanchao hummed at the person next to him and turned to look at Guo Shao: The Southern Tang Lord in Jiangning Mansion could not stop the scene, and the internal struggle was very strong. 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 still risks.Deputy Shi said that the Southern Tang Kingdom was in chaos, but until now their strength was not enough to be damaged, but the situation was not good; and 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, resulting in insufficient elite troops used in the Southern Tang Battle.

Jiangning Prefecture has a large number of troops, and the surrounding Runzhou, Jingkou and Jiang 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 finally thought that this was not a time to attack the city, and I still couldn't 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 the quarry and open up the big trench; and the occupied territory and destroyed Southern Tang army are not very strong.To stabilize quarrying and make progress, our vision should still be based on quarrying...

The generals nodded frequently when they heard this. Seeing this, Guo Shao continued: Hukou's large number of Southern Tang naval troops always threatened Caishi and might join the Jingkou navy to attack Li Chuyun's army forward and backward.We must never underestimate the combat power of the Southern Tang navy.Once the quarrying water army is lost, we will lose control of the river surface and be blocked from the retreat route and the food route.Control of the Dajiang is of great importance.

However, the enemy troops in Jingkou were also at risk of being attacked from front and back.The offensive and defensive momentum is only about who takes the initiative and who seizes the fighter's opportunity... So I think the next step should be to deploy the battle of besieging Beijing as soon as possible.

Li Chuyun said: The Great Zhou army can also advance to Jiangning Prefecture on the shore, pretending to take the enemy's capital.When troops are at the city, the Southern Tang army may mobilize heavy troops to return to defense, thinking that it is a strategy 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 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's battle.
