Warrior in Turbulent Han Dynasty

The next day, when the Jinxiang Hall discussed the affairs, Wang Pu put forward his opinion: "It is very difficult for the Southern Tang Army in Hukou to threaten Chizhou.

The minister heard that Li Jing was seriously ill in the southern capital, and that Li Yuwen, the lord of the Southern Tang Dynasty, was a weak generation who had just succeeded to the throne, and his prestige could not overwhelm the ministers. Although there are many civil servants and generals in the country, there are many factions. There are northern gentry who moved south, locals from Huainan, Nandu, Jiangdong, etc., and civil and military soldiers who were surrendered to Fujian and Chu. In such a situation, it was difficult to respond in time and attack Li Chuyun with all his strength.

On the other hand, in our dynasty, the forbidden army all inherited the (later) Han dynasty. After the two generations of heroes, the Taizu and the first emperor, made great efforts to govern, the inside and outside were integrated;

Chizhou is worried because our dynasty regards the Southern Tang Dynasty as a harmonious government. If the Southern Tang Dynasty cultivated both at home and abroad, with its strength, how can I take it lightly?

The Hukou enemy navy is under the command of Zhu Lingyun, the envoy of Nanjiedu in the Southern Tang Dynasty... Queen Mother, please look at the third volume of the dossier, the Enemy Generals, which has Zhu Lingyun's preparation. The son of Zhu Kuangye did not see any accomplishments; his father was a little stronger, but he did not have much enterprising spirit. During the Battle of Huainan, Li Jing asked about the strategy, and Zhu Kuangye replied that the situation was over and there was nothing to do. How much courage does the son have if his father is like this?

Therefore, Li Chuyun has no worries in Chizhou. "

The figure inside the curtain swayed, Guo Shao couldn't see Fu Jinzhan clearly, and she didn't speak.

Guo Shaodang even said: "I agree with Wang Shijun's deduction. Gao Yanchou and Xiangzhou Jiedu envoy can contain the west, and Han Tong can contain the east to intimidate the Southern Tang army... But it should not be a fluke, and should be prepared for emergencies."

The thinking patterns of Guo Shao and Wang Pu are different. Wang Pu pays attention to reason, while Guo Shao pays attention to logic. He said: "If Zhu Lingyun's troops (Southern Tang Hukou water army) go eastward regardless, there is indeed a possibility of cutting off Li Chuyun's retreat. We cannot let the situation go to a dead end. We need a preparatory plan and make preparations early...First, transport food to Chizhou to support Li Chuyun's long-term defense; second, the minister recommended Yuan Yan to Jiangling Mansion to train the navy, and suggested that Xiang Gong and Wang Pu, who were stationed in Shu, mobilize warships from Sichuan and Sichuan to gather in Jiangling Mansion (Jingzhou).

In case Li Chuyun was cut off the waterway in Chizhou, the military government would adjust its deployment and stop its aggressive tactics. Use the main force of the imperial army to cross the river from Jiangling Mansion, join Yuan Yan's navy and go eastward by land and water, open up the connection with Li Chuyun's department, and change the main strategy to advance slowly from west to east..."

Fu Jinzhan finally opened his mouth and said: "The Ai family agreed to the strategy you presented, so we will follow this plan first. Send someone to the capital of the Southern Tang Dynasty to pass an edict to persuade Li Yu to surrender."

...

Tokyo Daliang City has been completely shrouded in the atmosphere of war. Many soldiers who were resting returned to the barracks, carts of money were transported from the imperial city to various barracks to reward the soldiers, and a lot of pigs and sheep were slaughtered to improve the food of the soldiers... This kind of scene is a habit. Generally, when the imperial army is sent out to work hard, the imperial court will give extra rewards to the soldiers, so that the soldiers are grateful to Dade for their willingness to work hard.

Since the Zhou Dynasty, the imperial court had more control over the army; in the later Han Dynasty, it was even more exaggerated. When Guo Wei invaded Tokyo, the forbidden army not only did not resist, but also opened the city gate to lead the way. Legend has it that the later Han royal family was reluctant to reward money before the battle (the warriors misrepresented).

The ones with the most rewards are the left wing of Sihu Benjun in front of the palace, the straight bow and arrow of the controlling crane army, and the straight horse army. The southern nationality is grateful to the German army. Tokyo also kept heavy troops, and the fierce general Yang Biao was asked to stay in the right wing of the Huben Army, the commander of the front office.

Guo Shao felt that Yang Biao's comprehensive ability was much worse than that of Li Chuyun, but he was considered a more intelligent person, and the key was that he was reliable. He wants to keep a reliable general so that the Queen Mother can have someone available when necessary.

Most of the homes of the soldiers of the imperial army are in Tokyo City, so mobilization is relatively fast. Some of them were already on duty in the barracks, and some were also in the city. The whole process only takes a few days. First gather to reward money and divide the meat, then take the things home and say goodbye to the family members, and then go to the military camp to gather and set off... It is similar to the process when Guo Shao was ten generals.

Everyone was elated after receiving the money, but it was nothing compared to sharing the money in Chengdu Mansion. After all, it is not always possible to get rich.

But for Yao Erniu, it was already very rich. He didn't catch up with the last time he got rich. Although all the soldiers of the imperial army were rewarded during the celebration, it was obviously less than the soldiers who fought in Chengdu. Yao Erniu was originally a soldier of the "lower battalion" of the Dianqian Division. He was a low-level soldier who was eliminated and sent to the farmland when Zhao Kuangyin presided over the rectification of the Dianqian Division a few years ago... But later, the Dianqian Division's armies fought for years.

He was younger, but he was not as tall and strong as ordinary elite soldiers, barely qualified. The last time the Dianqian Division went to the camp to select soldiers, Yao Erniu pulled a strong bow with all his strength, so he was recruited.

The lives of professional soldiers and stationed soldiers are completely different. Professional soldiers have money and food, which are directly supplied by the treasury. Yao Erniu originally wanted to do a good job, but last time he talked too much on the school field, which put him under a lot of pressure... He said in front of the inspector in front of the palace that Guo Shao would not be a general in the future, and he would do well in blacksmithing. Then the commander above made Zhang Jiankui very dissatisfied with him.

Yao Erniu wondered if he would be sent to farm by that Zhang Jiankui next time if the redundant soldiers were eliminated and re-selected again?

But it's okay now, I can breathe a sigh of relief after receiving the reward... When I get home and pay the money and the pork, the whole family should be very happy, and finally I can pay the rent for the lease. Not long after Yao Erniu was selected, his family background in Tokyo was relatively poor; in this troubled world, land and houses everywhere are worthless, and land in Tokyo alone is expensive, and Yao Erniu can't afford it.

Originally, the military pay was quite high, but the Yao family really had a lot to eat. Yao Erniu's parents are both present, and his father is very old; once there was an elder brother who died and left behind his sister-in-law and nephew; there was also a younger sister whose husband also died and brought back a little girl. There are seven people in the family, only Yao Erniu can earn money... Yao Erniu is not big, but he can eat very much, even his mother and younger sister have a big appetite.

Yao Erniu walked to the door of the house, and saw that there was no one at his father's vegetable stand, and the house was noisy and lively. He thought the whole family was waiting for him, but when he entered, he found a room full of people in the main room, and he stood at the door in a daze.

"Erniu, this is your aunt!" The old lady reminded.

Only then did Yao Erniu come back to his senses, and hurriedly called out. The woman who just stood up from the bench was his aunt...my old lady's sister. Not only that, there are two people beside my aunt, the older one is the cousin, and the younger one is the cousin.

So the number of people in the main room increased to ten.

Auntie said happily that she hadn't seen her for a few years, and Erniu had grown up so much, and they were very affectionate after asking about their relatives. Then she complained: "There is a famine in my hometown, and the villagers have all gone out to escape the famine, most of them are heading west. Two months ago, I heard that my sister's family moved to Daliang, so I came to see you..."

Yao Erniu's temper was a bit dull, but his mind was still not stupid, and he suddenly understood: the three members of my aunt's family wanted to eat at Yao's house.

Yao Erniu was helpless, he couldn't drive his aunt away, so he didn't say anything at the moment. He handed over the money bag and a large pig leg to his mother, and the eyes of his aunt and cousin lit up... They must have thought that Yao Erniu was a rich man.

In fact, his old mother can't tell the hardships. The usual military pay and rewards are much more than ordinary people, but ordinary people don't have to support seven to ten people by themselves, and there is no land or house in Tokyo. What Yao Erniu did was hard work, if one day he died in battle, his family would be old and weak, women and children.

Only one piece of the pork leg brought back here can be kept, and the rest can be more useful in the market to exchange for money to buy grain.

When it was time for lunch, a plate of thin slices of meat was placed on the table. Of course, this was enough for my aunt and her family, but there was still meat! The cousin impatiently wanted to pick up the chopsticks, but his sister stopped him, and said in a low voice, "Cousin needs to work hard, not for you to eat."

Yao Erniu was also embarrassed to eat, and when the baked wheat cakes and vegetable soup came out, he opened his belly to eat the wheat cakes. I ate more than a catty in one go. When I turned my head to look at the people around the square table, everyone was eating desperately without saying a word...but they couldn't control their fullness. After eating together, they would drink vegetable porridge, and the water pipes were full. Only Yao Erniu can eat enough, because he needs to maintain a strong body to be used by the imperial army.

"Our family has two meals a day, and we don't eat at night..." the old lady said quietly.

Yao Erniu left the dinner table without saying a word. His sister-in-law and younger sister came to help him pack his things in a short while, and the only armor in his whole body seemed to be very valuable... The armor was distributed by the Jiafang Administration, a new plate armor, flattened into a streamlined iron plate, well-crafted chain mail inlays, brand new with a metallic luster, its craftsmanship and the poor appearance of Yao Erniu's family are very incompatible, it seems that things from two worlds have merged together.

When he was full, he lay down on a pile of thatch and watched the two women carefully pack his luggage. Thinking in his heart, it would be better for his nephew to be raised by his mother, after all, it is the blood of the Yao family; the little girl of the younger sister will get married anyway when she is more than ten years old, so it is better to collect some dowry for her and remarry.

The thatch stung made his neck itchy and painful, and he couldn't help stretching out his hand to scratch it for a while, lying there lazily in a daze.

"He stole a lot of money from the Southern Tang Dynasty!" Yao Erniu finally choked out a sentence after a long time.
