Han Shizu

Chapter 148 Deshengdu

The personal conquest of Yujia was just decided by Liu Zhiyuan, and he acted arbitrarily, without even considering the opinions of important officials like Yang Bin, and his tone was unquestionable.It seems, even a little sloppy.

Of course, it was impossible for Liu Zhiyuan to be easily persuaded by Liu Chengyou's few words. He actually had the idea of ​​conscripting himself, when the war in Yedu was not going well.

Although Liu Zhiyuan is not qualified to be the emperor, his foresight is still there.Letting go of the selfish thoughts in his heart and looking at the war in Yedu objectively, Liu Zhiyuan certainly knew that Gao Xingzhou was not at fault.He even knew in his heart what was the root cause of the slow progress in the current counter-insurgency war.Discord between generals has always been a taboo, let alone Murong Yanchao, a "supervisor" with a special status.

Two days ago, Liu Zhiyuan promoted two old ministers from the former dynasty to ministers. Dou Zhengu worshiped Sikong, Menxia Shilang, Pingzhangshi, and Hongwenguan University Bachelor, and Li Tao was Zhongshu Shilang and Household Minister, Pingzhangshi.

Since entering Bian, there has been constant turmoil in the court, and various parties competed for power, which led to the decline of the government.Liu Zhiyuan also couldn't bear the wantonness of these Yuan Cong heroes, and promoting Dou Zhengu and Li Tao suddenly broke the monopoly of the old officials in Hedong. At the same time, it was also Liu Zhiyuan's warning to Yuan officials .

Of course, Liu Zhiyuan did not promote the two selected randomly.Dou Zhengu and Liu Zhiyuan had an old relationship, they used to work together under Shi Jingtang's command, they had a good temperament, and they had a good relationship for a while, because of their prudence and reputation, they worshiped as ministers.

As for Li Tao, he was appreciated by Liu Zhiyuan because of his real talent.Before, he secretly played to Liu Zhiyuan, analyzing the situation in Yedu, analyzing the situation in detail, penetrating into it, which won Liu Zhiyuan's heart, and suggested that Liu Zhiyuan go on a personal expedition, which was more in line with his wishes.Coupled with the merits of welcoming him to Tokyo before, he was able to suddenly reach the chancellor and become a celebrity in front of the emperor.

Therefore, Liu Zhiyuan didn't agree to Liu Chengyou's invitation on a whim, but thought it over long ago.

Liu Zhiyuan, the great Han Dynasty, came by a little bit of luck, but the hardships and sufferings during the growth from a groom to emperor, how can the word "lucky" be able to fully explain it.Although Liu suffers from old age, repeated secret injuries, and his body is getting weaker and weaker day by day, he is an emperor on horseback after all, and when he really wants to stand up to the battlefield, he will never be vague.

As soon as the edict was issued, the imperial court's military and administrative departments and yamen immediately began to prepare.The busiest ones have to be the privy secretaries and the third department, deploying troops and supplying military supplies.After deliberation, Liu Zhiyuan went here, and more than half of the remaining imperial troops in Kaifeng had to be taken away.All the deployment squads in Da Nei went straight to the army, and the crane-controlling army could not be beaten as a close-fitting close soldier. The scattered members were all in the line, and the guards under the jurisdiction of the army.An army of more than [-] troops can be said to be an elite group. From the scale and movement, it can be seen that Liu Zhiyuan is determined to take Yedu and put down the rebellion during this trip.

Under the official edict on the [-]th, preparations were made on the [-]th and [-]th, and on the [-]th, Liu Zhiyuan led the army out from Tokyo and headed north.

On the Tokyo side, Liu Zhiyuan also made a more appropriate arrangement. Wei Wang Liu Chengxun supervised the country, and Yang Bin, Wang Zhang, Shi Hongzhao and other civil and military assistants. Bring it with you.For Su Fengji, Liu Zhiyuan seemed to really have a "special" love and was extremely tolerant.

As for Liu Chengyou, as he expected, he was recruited by Liu Zhiyuan smoothly, and became the prisoner of the camp.

In addition to the necessary food supplies, armor and military equipment, and military tents and bedding for the soldiers to march, the Beifa Forbidden Army can be regarded as light and simple, and many young men and mules and horses were recruited from the people to accompany them, which saved a lot of energy for the soldiers.

Liu Zhiyuan was in the central army, and he didn't rush to promote the troops, and he didn't have any impatience. If the emperor was like this, the whole army marched very calmly.Marching at a speed of eighty miles per day, it took two days to reach Huazhou, rested overnight, and arrived at Chanzhou on the third day.

Regarding the place of Chanzhou, the most famous event in history is the "Chanyuan League".However, in the period of the "Five Dynasties", it has always been a place that military strategists must contend for (there are really many places that military strategists must contend for). In the middle and late stages, the importance has become increasingly prominent, especially in the role of defending Kaifeng.When Zhuangzong destroyed Liang, the two sides confronted each other across the Jiahe River. The Yellow River line was basically fought in the Wei and Chan areas. Around Deshengdu, the two sides saw each other repeatedly, and fought more than a hundred battles, big and small.

And its core is Deshengdu, an important ferry that connects the north and the south of the river.The name of the state city is Desheng City, which is divided into two cities in the north and the south. It was built when Fu Cunshen (Fu Yanqing Laozi) was ordered to clamp the Yellow River.

It is naturally a suitable place for crossing as a major river junction, especially for large-scale crossings.The Yellow River Basin, where the terrain is tortuous and undulating, and the water is turbulent. In this era, along the big river, you can find a few important places.

The army had already stationed in Nancheng, and there was originally a garrison barracks outside the city fortress. Although it was not enough to accommodate so many people, it also saved the pain of Xinli.After all, they are the most elite Forbidden Army of the big Han. After reorganization, although the running-in time is short and the combat power has not yet reached its peak, the basic quality is still there.When going out to fight, the discipline of the army is emphasized, coupled with the strict restraint of the generals and schools of the army, everything is in order.

As night fell, the dense Han army barracks in front of Deshengdu gradually fell into silence, and the soldiers rested to relieve the exhaustion of days of marching.Around, the sounds of wind, water, and animals became clearer.

After patrolling around among the various armies, showing the presence of His Royal Highness King Zhou, Liu Chengyou led a group of people to the ferry.Appointed as the capital supervisor of the camp, he supervised the whole army and had a lot of power.Of course, Liu Chengyou, as always, focused on the military discipline regulations. In just two or three days, his nickname of "Jun Yan Luo" was spreading again.In the past, it was only in the Longqi Army, but now, it is the entire Forbidden Army.

The dry season in winter is yet to come, the water level is not too low, the land is slippery and flat, and the river is no longer so turbulent.Standing on a high ground, to watch the river, in the night sky, the moonlight is dim, and you can see the mist on the water, overflowing and winding, and you can feel its coldness from a distance.

On the ferry, hundreds of large and small ships collected by the imperial court are moored, and fishermen and boatmen live on them.In the thatched huts and huts along the tidal flats, three or four thousand young and strong laborers huddled inside, hiding from the autumn wind and spending the night. It is said that in order to support the war, more than half of the young and strong people in Chanzhou were conscripted.

On the shore, there were constant soldiers and escorts patrolling past, scanning the laborers with fierce eyes to prevent disturbance.

On the pier near the water, a general, surrounded by a group of generals, was pointing and discussing something.Liu Chengyou walked up slowly and said hello: "General Wang."

The general is Wang Jun, who was appointed by Liu Zhiyuan to deploy the land and water for the expedition this time.Speaking of Wang Jun, before and after the founding of the Han Dynasty, he also actively worked for it, and tried his best to advocate for Liu Zhiyuan's proclaiming the emperor.After arriving in Tokyo, Liu Zhiyuan treated him with great kindness. He joined the Ministry of War as a minister, reorganized the imperial army, took him as the command of the scattered members, and led the governor of Bazhou.

However, Wang Jun's ambition is obviously more than that, and he is a little dissatisfied. However, he wants to climb up, but the upper space is firmly controlled by Yang, Shi and other civil and military forces.This time I was lucky enough to be with you, so I put all my energy into it. I have to perform well, deploy before the battalion, work very hard, and try my best to make no omissions. If the subordinates make mistakes, they will be punished harder than Liu Chengyou, and the whipping stick is light of.

There was some friendship between the two of them. When Wang Jun was in Jinyang, Wang Jun returned as an envoy to Khitan, and Liu Chengyou also consulted with him on the affairs of the Central Plains, and gained a lot.Although there were fewer contacts afterwards, they were still maintained. Wang Jun was also one of the few who stood in the same position as Liu Chengyou when he spoke out in support of Gao Xingzhou.

"Your Highness." Seeing that it was Liu Chengyou, Wang Jun's original serious expression immediately softened, and he saluted.The generals around him also hurriedly followed and saluted.

"You step back first, prepare according to my order, cross the river tomorrow, don't make any mistakes!" Wang Jun sternly pushed his subordinates back, very powerful.

"The general is really responsible!" Standing on the bank of the river, he could feel the vibration of the rushing water, Liu Chengyou praised him.

Hearing this, a smug smile appeared on the corner of Wang Jun's mouth, and he spoke rather modestly: "The last general is just doing his duty."

Hearing this, Liu Chengyou sighed: "Fang today, the general of Daozhou Jiedu will be in charge of officials. How many people are there who can perform their duties?"

It was windy by the river, and there was a lot of noise, and I had to speak out of my throat.The two of them went to a hut at the back to talk, Liu Chengyou asked: "With the general here, the matter of crossing the river is expected to be safe, right?"

Speaking of this, Wang Jun's tone was very positive: "There is no heavy weapon in the army, as long as the heavens are good, we can cross tomorrow!"

"The general is really talented!"

"His Highness praises you."

Looking to the north through the straw mat curtain, even if the line of sight is dim, the outline of Desheng North City on the opposite bank can be vaguely seen. With our army now calmly crossing the river."

Hearing this, Liu Chengyou followed his gaze to the north, thought for a while, and said: "The general has always had a lot of insights on military aircraft affairs. I wonder what your insights are on the battle situation in Yedu?"

"Is your highness taking the final exam?" Wang Jun turned to look at Liu Chengyou and asked with a smile.

"I want to hear the general's opinion."

"With His Highness's wisdom, I am afraid that he has a clear understanding of the situation in Yedu and is familiar with it." Wang Jun first boasted to Liu Chengyou, and then said firmly: "Du's rebellion is at the end of the road, and the officials personally mention the country's elite. Go north, once the soldiers arrive, Yedu can go down overnight!"

"Why is the general so sure?"

Wang Jun replied directly: "The imperial court has to win!"
