Five Dynasties River Mountains Fengyue

Chapter 317 I heard about Yunzhong County in the past

"Officials, the preparations for the three armies have been completed. The first army, the second army, the third army, the fourth army, and the fifth army are all ready to launch at any time.

The Sixth Army, the Seventh Army, the Eighth Army, the Ninth Army, and the Tenth Army on the right wing of Hujie are also ready to start at any time.

Three hundred navy ships have left Bianshui and entered the waterway of the Yellow River, ready to turn away for grain and grass at any time.

The Shenhuo Army has 66 cannons, and the third division has sufficient food and grass, which have been transported to the Yellow River, and then they can cross the river.

According to the order of the commander in chief, Shao Ji led the tenth battalion of the Longjie Army to go ahead and seize the fortress in Taihang Mountain. "

In the small courtyard outside the Long Live Hall, Luqiu Zhongqing was reporting to him the preparations of the army.

"The officials are also well prepared in terms of food and grass. The warehouse on the north bank of the Yellow River has also hoarded 50 shi of military rations. The army has no worries. Several defense envoys in the north also began to assemble according to the order."

Shi Congyun nodded, and the little yellow flower next to him didn't understand what they said, but followed him curiously.

"How many civilians do you think need to be mobilized this time to ensure the army's logistics supplies?" Shi Congyun said.

Lu Duoxun was not in a hurry to speak. Luqiu Zhongqing, his old minister and close minister, directly cupped his hands and said, "The officials, I think it is enough to mobilize [-] people this time. The main transportation will be along the Yellow River, and it will be in Dacang on the north bank. This time it was not as difficult as the previous year.

The key is the section in Luoyang. In the past, that section was repaired all the year round and the water transportation was smooth. However, since Luoyang was abandoned in the late Tang Dynasty, the water transportation near Luoyang began to be abandoned. It may take more time and effort to walk that section, otherwise 5 people would be enough. "

Shi Congyun nodded silently, and then said: "Lu Hanlin, you have to work hard on these things, and you can't make mistakes. The soldiers and horses have to go before the food and grass are used. The supply of food and grass for the three armies is the most important thing.

Back then, Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty said that Xiao Xiangguo's first contribution was because of feeding the three armies. I am also a person who has fought all the year round, and I know the importance of food and grass. I entrust this matter to you and must do it well. "

"Your minister should be the head of the dead, and the dead should be the grass, and he will never disappoint the appreciation of the officials!"

Shi Congyun nodded: "Go ahead, make preparations early, I won't listen to you, I'll see you do it."

Lu Doxun stood up, then backed away.

Only Shi Congyun and Luqiu Zhongqing were left in the courtyard.

Luqiu Zhongqing was his old minister, who followed him from the beginning, similar to Shao Ji and Wang Zhong, and was one of his most trusted people, so he appointed Luqiu Zhongqing as the privy envoy as soon as he took office.

There were only two of them, and Luqiu Zhongqing said directly: "The old officials are staying in the official family, do you have something important to explain?"

Shi Congyun nodded: "It's about the middle school. This time I have to personally conquer the country. The queen is the regent of the middle school. But the queen is young after all, and there is no one in the capital, so I hope you will help her, especially Li Gong. Fan Gong, Wei Gong, Wang Gong and other ministers.

They have their own opinions and they are right, but if I am not here, they may not be convinced of the queen. "

After he finished speaking, he turned around and said in a deep voice, "Mr. is always different from them. You are in the capital, so you should help the queen more."

Luqiu Zhongqing cupped his hands: "The officials are at ease, the old minister understands the worries of the officials."

Shi Congyun nodded, Luqiu Zhongqing has always been a wise person with insights, "That's good."

The queen's power is greater than many people imagined, because she is the emperor's wife, the representative of the royal family except the emperor.

Although he, Shi Congyun, had never been an emperor, he had a good brain and a good understanding. The so-called head followed the buttocks. Once the buttocks sat on it, he thought carefully about the relationship between the royal family and the ministers based on his survival instinct.

The ideal state is that the imperial power does not leave the court, but only serves as referees, let the ministers be players, let them play by themselves, promote those who play well, and send off those who play poorly.

But now is the critical moment when he has no choice but to end.

He learned the lesson of the former emperor Guo Rong. In history, Zhou Shizong had confessed to let loyal officials such as Wang Zhu join the team of ministers before his death. Ignored the emperor's will.

In the era of the Five Dynasties, when the power of civil servants was so declining, such a situation unexpectedly appeared!
The important reason for this situation is that every time Guo Rong went to war, he let his close minister Zaifu be regent instead of letting the royal family supervise the country. Especially during the Southern Tang Dynasty, the emperor, empress, Li Chongjin, Zhang Yongde and other royal families all left. Now, hand over the entire court to the ministers under you.

Isn't this letting the minister himself be both a referee and a player?Slowly, the imperial power will definitely be emptied. After his death, the ministers will not carry out his last wishes. The coup d'état will have nothing to do with Zhao Kuangyin except for the king crying, except for the atmosphere and political mistakes.

Guo Rong is bold in military affairs, but he is indeed not general in politics.

Like Genghis Khan Temujin, he not only knew how to shoot big eagles, but also handed over the military power in the east to Mu Huali when he went to the west, but at the same time he let his three princesses supervise the country, and his relatives were in charge of administrative power, Mu Huali and others The general still needs to ask Princess Jian Guo for instructions on how to act, this move is very clever!
For ministers, they can be given power and freedom to make decisions, but the final decision must be in the hands of the royal family.

But an embarrassing problem he is facing now is that there is no third princess Temujin or Zhao Guangyi among his relatives.

To have the royal family supervise the country, only the queen can do it, but the sixth younger sister doesn't have much experience and skills, and Zhao Shijian has just given birth and is weak.

Empress Dowager Fu is suitable, but although he has in-depth communication with Empress Dowager Fu, he cannot be said to have complete trust.

That night, he stayed in Kunning Palace, Empress Dowager Fu, Zhao Shijian and Sixth Sister were all there.

This time he didn't do anything, but seriously explained to Sixth Sister that she would learn from Fu Tianhou, and that he was going to go to war, and he wanted her to be regent and supervise the country for a while.

In fact, when she first heard the news, Sixth Sister was so nervous that she was at a loss. She had always been just a good girl, and her husband did whatever he wanted, and she never disobeyed him.

Now that she is suddenly asked to decide on her own, and it is still a major national event, she will definitely feel nervous and afraid.

Shi Congyun hugged him in his arms and comforted him, "I will be back in a few months this time, and I have explained below that Luqiu Zhongqing and the others will help you when the time comes. Mr. Luqiu, you know, he was still living in our It's Shifu, an old acquaintance."

Sixth Sister listened to him nervously and obediently, with her head resting on his chin, "If you don't understand the affairs of court outside, you can ask your elder sister; if you don't understand the affairs of the palace, ask Zhao Shijian. Come back and inquire."

Empress Dowager Fu listened quietly and did not speak, Zhao Shijian snorted a little dissatisfied, but immediately said: "Don't worry, sixth sister, the affairs of the inner palace are not so troublesome, you can do a lot of things according to Lin Shanggong.

If you still don't understand, I will definitely help you do it well, but I, a little girl, don't understand the things outside the court, so I have to ask the Queen Mother! "

The current main personnel in the palace are still from the Shifu, and in the Shifu is the housekeeper Zhao Shijian.

The little woman who just gave birth took the word queen mother very seriously. In the past, when Fu Da was still the queen, she had a feud with Zhao Shijian. The two are even more at odds.

After hearing this, Empress Dowager Fu's face was not good-looking, and she blushed a little. She naturally knew that Zhao Shijian was mocking her, but she was really wrong, and she didn't refute, so she could only ignore Zhao Shijian.

Instead, she turned her head and assured him: "Don't worry, the official, the concubine will definitely teach Sixth Sister well."

He looked at the two beauties who were uncomfortable, and said: "I'm not here, you two are not allowed to make trouble, this is a major national matter, you can't be as contemptuous as before."

The next day, he transferred Fu Zhaoyuan to lead the inspection of the capital and support the queen;
On the ninth day of February, Shi Congyun issued an edict to mobilize soldiers from Mingzhou, Weizhou, Bozhou, Xiangzhou, Huazhou and other states in the east. A few days ago, Li Chuyun assembled in Mingzhou, and transferred Heyang's Li Chuyun to the east of the battalion, and took his own troops to command the soldiers of each state as the East Route Army.

The East Route Army marched along Guzhen and Luzhou.

Then, with Wang Shenqi as the commander of the southern camp, he led the soldiers of the three cities of Heyang and the forbidden army to the north, crossed the mountains and entered Hedong, and marched in the direction of Zezhou.

Shao Ji led the Long Jie army as the vanguard, seized the fortress in Taihang Mountain to the north of the three cities of Heyang, blocked Li Yun's army, and prevented them from leaving Taihang Mountain.

The Jianxiong Army and Baoyi Army in Hezhong stood firm, and Xiang Gong's troops helped the Jianxiong Army to defend Jinzhou.

Xiang Gong was not so much helping as monitoring, and Shi Congyun of Jianxiong Army and Baoyi Army was not at ease, but he couldn't let Li Yun enter the river.

The edicts were issued one after another, and there was an endless stream of fast horses galloping out from the capital to all over the world.

Shao Ji in Bianshui Daying was also the first to gallop north with the forward Long Jie cavalry.

The Chinese army is still preparing. This time Shi Congyun is going to personally lead the Chinese army, with the Crane Control Army and the Shenhuo Army as the main force, to fight the first battle of the founding of the country. Fan laid the foundation.

On the [-]th, the imperial court made an exception, and Shi Congyun announced the news that the imperial conquest would be made in person.

There was a debate in the court on the spot, with some opposing and some agreeing, but Shi Congyun didn't ask them to discuss it.

He asked everyone to express his thoughts to show his tolerance, and then waited until they had almost quarreled and everyone's opinions had been expressed, before he made a conclusion, "I've made up my mind! This time I need a personal conquest."

In this way, the ministers will not only be given the opportunity to express their opinions, but they will not be convinced by their own judgment, after all, the opinions have already been expressed.

Then he announced that the queen would oversee the country, Fu Zhao would like to inspect the capital, Luqiu Zhongqing would stay in the capital, and Wang Pu would be the prefect of Kaifeng.

So on the 30th, the harem and the Ministry of Rites prepared more than [-] cars of various salutes and ritual utensils for him.

Seeing that Shi Congyun's head was big, he finally chose six chariots to stay. Except for the gorgeous luan flag to show his identity and let the soldiers see, most of the rest were prepared for the accompanying little yellow flower.

His huge six-horse horse carriage was mainly for Xiao Huanghua. Although riding a horse was bumpy, he was used to it. Taking Xiao Huanghua with him allowed him to take care of his own life and relax at the same time. She was too good at it. Take care of people.

In the afternoon of that day, Shi Congyun personally rode a horse to inspect the upcoming Shenhuo Army by the Bian River.

Shi Congyun rode by and found a strong man who was almost as tall as him in the front row, and even stronger than him. He admired him very much and asked curiously, "What's your name and where are you from?"

"Reporting to the official family, a certain name is Jing Si, from Jizhou!" The strong man's voice was like a bell, and judging from his posture, there might be hundreds of catties of strength between his hands.

Shi Congyun liked such warriors very much, and even Dang Jin who was next to him was a little surprised.

"How did you come to join the army?"

"Soldiers from the same village followed the emperor to fight against Shu, and they all got rich. They all said that the official family is great, so so-and-so came."

Shi Congyun laughed loudly after hearing this: "Jing Si, Jing Si. I remember you. If you want to be rich, you must kill the enemy well. Wealth must be indispensable!"

As soon as he said that, everyone around shouted long live.

In the afternoon, the Chinese army slaughtered the sheep to sacrifice the flag, and then the Emperor Luan flag was fired. The camp near the Bian River opened its gate with the horn of desolation, and the army began to move out.

Shi Congyun was surrounded by generals on a small hill next to the camp, watching from afar the groups of people and horses coming out of the camp gate in an orderly manner and merged into the long queue.

All kinds of flags are flying slowly on the avenue.

Xiao Huanghua, who was disguised as a man, stood beside him, curiously looking at the spectacular scenery in the distance, her big eyes were filled with shock.

The rear of the Shenhuo Army is 66 guns pulled by horses, which is particularly abrupt in the rear of the army.

This is the first time that the artillery of the Shenhuo Army has really come into play. Before attacking Shu, the artillery was pulled, but it failed.

Little Yellow Flower looked at those cannons curiously, and asked him in a low voice, "Ah Lang, what are those big iron pipes?"

Shi Congyun explained to her seriously, "It's a cannon. I'll teach you how to do it when you're free someday."

"Okay!" Little Yellow Flower nodded happily.

Shi Congyun looked at the slow-moving cannons in the distance, and thought in his heart that he must live up to Lao Tzu!
This is a life-and-death battle, the first battle of the founding of the country, and the first battle of new tactical experiments. There are many examples and lessons for later generations about the cooperation of artillery and cavalry, especially on the European battlefield.

Shi Congyun has seen a lot. He can understand the advantages and disadvantages of this kind of artillery, and he can also understand the core tactical idea of ​​​​the combination of artillery, infantry and cavalry that is powerful on the battlefield.

So he has been training the Shenhuo Army and the Crane Army to cooperate with each other for more than half a year.

But those are just training, I don’t know whether it will work or not, only when we actually go to the battlefield will we see the result
Hedong, Shanxi.
There are many names for this. He had to take it down in an area where life and death have always been a matter of life and death in Chinese history, otherwise it would be a sharp sword falling on his head, making him sleepless.

The Yanmen Pass he has been thinking about is the beautiful vision of keeping the Liao army in the north away from Taihang
These swaying military flags in the distance will be determined by this war.

Dad originally heard that he was going to fight Hedong, so he wanted to go with him no matter what, but Shi Congyun didn't let him come, knowing that he wanted Yunzhou and wanted to fight back to the north as soon as possible, but now Dad is too emperor, it's not good to be in the army .

To the north, the spring breeze moves the clouds, and the military flag flutters
Shi Congyun looked at the northern sky from a distance, and couldn't help but recite an ancient poem of the Tang Dynasty: "Among the sheep and horses, you can find a human way, but outside the Yanmen Pass, there are no homes. In the past, I heard that there was Yunzhong County, but today there is no cloud and there is sand in the sky."
