Five Dynasties River Mountains Fengyue

Chapter 132

There are nearly [-] troops stationed outside the city of Shouzhou. Presumably Li Gu, Li Chongjin, Li Jixun and others are already exhausted.

If it continues like this, there will be problems with the army's food, grass and supplies.

One afternoon, Li Gu brought three followers, wearing coir raincoats and umbrellas, through the rain, and climbed up the slippery hillside to meet him. His eyes were sunken, his complexion was very bad, black and white mixed, and he found that he was a bit scattered. Many parts of the body are soaked.

Shi Congyun hurriedly welcomed him in, "Come in Li Xianggong, there is a fire in the tent to warm your body."

Li Gu shook his head: "No, Brother Yun, I am here to ask you for help."

"If you have anything to do, Prime Minister Li, just tell him directly."

"Li Chongjin's army was stationed on the lowlands in the northeast, where there are many streams. It was really convenient to station in the past. It was convenient for the army to fetch water for cooking, brush and feed the horses, but now it has suffered from heavy rains and floods. Most of the army's baggage is kept with him."

Li Gu's tone quickened, "I see that among the armies near Shouzhou, only your Crane Controlling Army is the most disciplined, unruffled, and quick to respond. Right now, only your Crane Controlling Army is out of trouble and can go to help. Li Jixun and other armies could not protect themselves.

So the old man hopes that you can put the overall situation first and bring people to assist Li Chongjin's department, so as to get rid of the current crisis."

After Li Gu finished speaking, he looked at him, with some evasion and embarrassment in his eyes.

Shi Congyun immediately understood what was going on, and also understood why Li Gu was in trouble. Li Gu knew about the feud between him and Li Chongjin. If Li Gu hadn't favored him, he would not have been able to snatch the striker from Li Chongjin at that time.

Shi Congyun clasped his hands and said: "I'm sorry to trouble Li Xianggong to go there personally, I'm not a person who doesn't know what's good and what's wrong, I know what's important in the overall situation, I won't let such a big matter of right and wrong override personal grievances.

And even for Li Xianggong's face, I will help with this. Don't worry Li Xianggong, I will gather all the people to help. "

Li Gu nodded, with relief in his eyes: "This time I thank you on behalf of the whole army. You are not exaggerating when you understand the righteousness. I thought I would spend some time with you."

Shi Congyun laughed, "I don't dare to thank Mr. Xiang, and you don't have to thank Mr. Li. If Mr. Li didn't come, I might not care whether he lives or dies. It's because of Mr. Li."

Li Gu shook his head and said with a smile, "I just praised you a few words, and you are now eloquent again."

Shi Congyun chuckled, turned around and went to organize the staff.

When they heard that they were going to rescue Li Chongjin's department, Wang Zhong, Dong Zunhui and others were full of complaints. They didn't know when they could wear a pair of trousers.

But Shi Congyun ordered, they could only obey.

On the same day, Shi Congyun gathered more than 3000 people and personally led the team to the northeast of Shouzhou City to help Li Chongjin's army carry the grass and luggage to the high ground in the south.

When he brought people to arrive, Li Gu was talking with Li Chongjin in the rain. Seeing him coming, Li Chongjin's black face was obviously shocked, and there were several generals around him.

The situation was tight, and the rain had no intention of stopping. Shi Congyun didn't plan to have another exciting verbal fight with Li Chongjin, so he rode his horse over and dismounted when he got very close.

Shao Ji, Wang Zhong, Dong Zunhui and many other people behind him feared that he would suffer, so they immediately followed him aggressively.

The generals behind Li Chongjin also felt that the atmosphere was not right, and one after another took a step forward and stood behind him. For a while, the sky was full of rain, and the two teams stood facing each other in the heavy rain, attracting the eyes of the surrounding people.

Shi Congyun thought he couldn't delay, so he directly cupped his hands and said, "A certain person brought someone to help you grab food, grass and supplies, but Marshal Li don't get me wrong. , I cannot sit idly by.

In the face of big right and wrong, let's not talk about those trivial matters first, and Marshal Li doesn't need to think too much. After this matter is over, what kind of personal grievances between us will be, whatever you say. "

Li Chongjin looked at him expressionlessly, his eyes flickered, and he nodded slowly: "It's exactly what I want."

Shi Congyun didn't say any more, and led people into the camp without looking back, "Please Li Xianggong arrange it, we are in charge of those."

Li Gu nodded, "Come with me, I'll make arrangements for you."

"Wait a minute!" Li Chongjin's voice suddenly sounded from behind. Shi Congyun turned his head and couldn't see his expression clearly under the rain curtain. Seeing that he hadn't spoken for a long time, Shi Congyun frowned and turned his head directly, but heard a vague "Thank you." I don't know if it's an auditory hallucination.

After Shi Congyun left, one of the many generals and officials behind Li Chongjin said to his colleagues, "That is Shi Congyun, the commander of the Crane Control Army. He is really very generous."

Someone reminded in a low voice: "Don't be heard by our commander in chief, the commander in chief has a problem with him."

The man smiled and said in a low voice, "I'm an official under Li Jixun Jieshuai. He came here to borrow a few cowhide tents, and he'll go back in a few days. It doesn't matter."

Others didn't say any more, ordinary military tents are made of cloth curtains, which are not so useful in this kind of weather.

After a busy day, at noon the next day, the rain subsided a lot, and Li Chongjin's army's food and grass were finally transported to the high slope to the south in time.

Afterwards, Shi Congyun did not drag his feet, and prepared to lead his troops back to Xiacai's pontoon bridge. The guards there could not relax. There was still a navy in the lower reaches of the Southern Tang Dynasty, and they might attack the pontoon bridge at any time.

Before leaving, please see Li Gu and Li Chongjin off outside the camp.

Li Gu exchanged pleasantries with him and praised him a lot.

When Li Gu finished speaking, Li Chongjin suddenly scolded: "You are so cowardly at such a young age, no matter how capable you are, no matter how capable you are, it will be in vain. Learn how to control your eyes and control your bastard!" , otherwise you will suffer a big loss sooner or later, and you will not know if you suffer a loss."

Everyone behind Shi Congyun was furious, and Wang Zhong even whispered on the spot: "This bird man, let's help him, he doesn't know what's good!"

Fortunately, his voice was not loud, and it was still raining, so no one heard him. Shi Congyun called everyone to leave, and he heard it more deeply. He always felt that Li Chongjin was not only scolding him, but more like reminding him.

After returning to Daying, he felt more and more that there was something in Li Chongjin's words. He said that he would suffer another big loss, and that he didn't know if he suffered a loss. Doesn't that mean that he had already suffered a big loss?It's still related to lust, Shi Congyun thinks he didn't do anything lustful, he confiscated the beauties given to him by the Kingdom of Shu, and the only cabbage that he ever tried was Zhao Shijian, why is he so bold?
However, Li Chongjin is a clan and a close minister, so he must know a lot of news that he doesn't know.

After staying until mid-June, the weather finally began to gradually clear up, and great news came from the south.

First, Han Lingkun defeated the Southern Tang Army in the east of Yangzhou City and captured Lu Mengjun alive.

Moreover, according to reports and rumors, there is also a story about Fengyue that Lu Mengjun almost killed the family of the former governor of Shuzhou, Yang Zhaoyun, and robbed all his belongings when he abolished Ma Xie and changed Li Ma Xichong in his early years.

When Han Lingkun entered Yangzhou, Ma Xichong gave Han Lingkun the only remaining girl from the Yang family, and Han Lingkun loved her very much.After learning that Lu Mengjun had been captured, Yang burst into tears, and Han Lingkun asked Yang why.Yang claimed that it was Lu Mengjun who killed all her family members in Tanzhou, and Han Lingkun immediately executed Lu Mengjun without handing over to the officials.

In addition, Li Jingda, king of Qi in the Southern Tang Dynasty, led 20 soldiers and horses across the Yangtze River from Guabu, and camped at a distance of more than [-] miles from Liuhe, intending to attack Zhao Kuangyin's tribe in Liuhe.

It is said that all the generals were preparing to attack at that time, but Zhao Kuangyin stopped them, saying that the opponent was afraid of us at this time and did not know how many of us there were.

A few days later, the soldiers of the Southern Tang Dynasty attacked Liuhe, Zhao Kuangyin led the army to counterattack, Shi Yanchao led the elite cavalry to go around and attack on the side, and defeated the Southern Tang counterattack army in one fell swoop in the south of Liuhe, beheading more than [-] soldiers of the Southern Tang Army, and the remaining tens of thousands of troops were defeated , desperately trying to escape the Yangtze River.

There were countless scenes of people drowning fighting for a ferryboat on the riverside.Since then, the main force of the Southern Tang Army has been depleted.

It is said that during the battle at that time, some soldiers of the Zhou army were unwilling to contribute.Zhao Kuangyin supervised the battle in the formation, and when he found a soldier who was not serious about fighting, he scratched his fur hat with a sword.On the second day, Zhao Kuangyin dragged out more than [-] soldiers whose fur hats he had scratched by him, beheaded them to the public, and passed on to the whole army, so all the soldiers of the Zhou army dared not fight the enemy bravely, so they won more with less and defeated again. The main force of the Southern Tang counterattack.

Hearing this, Shi Congyun felt more and more uneasy. This Zhao Kuangyin really has two tricks.
By mid-June, the Zhou army had won consecutive battles. Except for Shouzhou, which was still stuck there like a nail, other places basically fell into the hands of the Zhou army.

News came from the front that the official family had the intention of returning to Beijing.

This is not difficult to understand. It has been more than three months since the official conquest. It is impossible for the court to be without a monarch to handle government affairs for a long time. Wang Pu is really good at supervising the country, but there are some things he can't decide.

Moreover, the front line seems to be winning steadily, and the victory is already decided, so there is no need for officials to supervise the battle here all the time.

At the end of June, the officials finally made a decision to return to Beijing in early July, planning to use Li Chongjin as the emissary to recruit from the south and be in charge of all the wars in Huainan.

Just when Shi Congyun was thinking that this might have nothing to do with him, Lu Duoxun came to the big tent again and brought the official order, asking him to accompany Sheng Jia back to Beijing, and transfer the Crane Army to Wang Shenqi and Si Chao for restraint.

When Shi Congyun received this order, he was a little puzzled, but he was also a little happy, because the officials should take him back with great importance, because as long as he wants to be with the emperor, he is in the political center.

He remembered that Li Chongjin and Zhao Kuangyin had equal status in history, but they couldn't beat Zhao Kuangyin because Li Chongjin was out of town for a long time, and Zhao Kuangyin was always in the capital.

However, it is difficult to see what the officials are thinking when they are in it. This is probably the unpredictable grace of God.

After packing up his things and waiting for two days, he suddenly remembered that he was staring at the Queen outside Zhengyang City that day, and instantly felt that there was another possibility in this world. Could it be that the officials at that time noticed it?
Thinking of this, the whole person felt like falling into an ice cave, and his hairs stood on end. Some understood Li Chongjin's words that day, and his heart became uneasy, anxious like ants on a hot pot.

He seemed to be in front of Guo Rong, he thought the officials would not see
Guo Rong is a Mingjun, the number one Mingjun in the Five Dynasties, with his magnanimity and mind, he should not care about... right!

He started to panic...
