The first prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 1100
The optimism on Zhao Xu's side was completely different from the sadness on Liu Guangyi's side. Liu Guangyi was looking sad now.

Who is Liu Guangyi? This time, Zhao Kuangyin appointed the commander of the East Route Army, but Zhao Xu's arrival made him not worthy of his name.

Zhao Kuangyin said that Zhao Xu should be fully responsible for the affairs of Shu, even if the two armies are also in charge of Zhao Xu.

It's nothing. It's an honor for the prince to join his army. Besides, the prince is not an idiot. He is a very capable person. If you perform well in front of the prince, you might get promoted and make a fortune. It's not a thing anymore.

"Why is Marshal Liu in a bad mood? Did Gu bother you?"

"At the end of the day, I will meet His Royal Highness, the Crown Prince." Liu Guangyi saw that it was Zhao Xu who had entered, and hurriedly knelt down to pay his respects.

"Hey, hurry up, it's unavoidable, you are a lonely elder and have eight acquaintances with your father, get up quickly."

Liu Guangyi's identity is not simple, he is one of the ten brothers of Zhao Kuangyin's Yishe, but Shi Shouxin is not as capable as Gao Huaide, but he can be regarded as a Jiedu envoy, but his reputation is not obvious.But Liu Guangyi's ancestors were awesome people.

His great-grandfather Liu Rengong, Tang Lulongjun) Jiedushi, a local warlord in the late Tang Dynasty, was still a great warlord.

His grandfather was Liu Shouwen, who was killed by Liu Guangyi's second grandfather, Liu Shouguang, because of Tang Heng's navy, so Liu Guangyi's father, Liu Yanjin, fled south with his family.

When Guo Wei, the privy envoy of the Later Han Dynasty, guarded Yedu, Liu Guangyi entered the army and began his military career.

At this time, he met Zhao Kuangyin, who was still a soldier at that time, and several other people. They sworn brothers and became the so-called ten brothers of Yishe in history.

The ten brothers of Yishe are still soldiers, and they don't have much power in their hands. At this time, Zhao Kuangyin has no reputation, but slowly they all started to mix up.By the time they arrived in Chai Rong, they had all started to take control of the military. Of course, by this time Zhao Kuangyin had become the de facto leader.

However, Liu Guangyi was not as good as the others, until the first year of Song Jianlong followed Zhao Kuangyin to the Luzhou Li Jun Liu Guangyi and began to serve as the vanguard of the camp.

In the second year, he was promoted to be the commander of the guard Ma Jundu and the Jiedu envoy of the Ningjiang army. In the first half of the attack on Houshu, he was still fighting in the north. He led the army to Luzhou to guard the border to prevent the invasion of the Northern Han Dynasty.

"Don't dare, the royal gift must not be forgotten. Please sit down, Your Highness. I don't know what your Highness is here?"

Liu Guangyi knew that the person he could call his nephew was not that simple, and he was also the prince of the Song Dynasty, so he must not make him feel dissatisfied.

"Let me see if General Liu is ready. According to the news from the north, Wang Quanbin and the others have already taken action, and they have successfully captured Xingzhou in the Kingdom of Shu. So we should do it as soon as possible. Otherwise, what face does General Guhe have, I think the soldiers know the news now, and they are all suffocating in their hearts."

These soldiers really have such a spirit in their hearts, because they are also soldiers who came out together. They came out together, and other soldiers have the opportunity to make meritorious deeds, but they are stagnant here. What is the matter?

Just before Zhao Xu came, there were already soldiers fighting here, and Liu Guangyi had just ordered those soldiers to be punished.

"To be honest, Your Highness, there were soldiers making trouble just now. I think they made trouble because they had nothing to do recently. I was thinking that after a while, if these soldiers have nothing to do, trouble will happen sooner or later. "

When the soldiers were irritable, blindly suppressing them would not have any effect at all, but would cause the soldiers to mutiny. It was not because they were stimulated, but Liu Guangyi was also worried.

"It seems that it's better to keep them busy. I'm afraid they will blame Gu if they don't have time to rest in the future." Zhao Xu said with a smile.

"Haha, this will give these people something to fight, and they will be very grateful to you if they have meritorious service."

Liu Guangyi could tell that Zhao Xu was here to send troops, which made him feel that he should be busy.

"Your Highness, General Liu, I brought you the map." Cao Bin walked over from outside.

"General Liu sees that this is the third meeting. After we enter the Three Gorges, this place is the first place. It is said that there are heavy guards here. This is Wushan and other strongholds. After passing here, we will enter Kuizhou, the throat of Shu Kingdom."

Zhao Xu pointed to the places on the map and said to Liu Guangyi, these two places are the most important places to enter the Kingdom of Shu, and they must be taken down as soon as possible. If time drags on, Kuizhou's reinforcements may come , it was serious at that time.

"Gu has already figured out the plan, and let people find out the military situation of these two places. Gu decided to discuss with the general. This time, he will take down this place, and then take the opportunity to capture Kuizhou and guard Shu. The eastern gateway of the country, what do you think, General?"

"Your Highness is very worried, and the last general has also considered it, because Kuizhou is an important barrier to entering Shu. We must take it down. It means that we have a base here, which can be attacked and defended. Otherwise, It’s hard for us to stay here anymore.”

Liu Guangyi knew that Zhao Xu already had a mature idea, and it was useless to disagree with him. It was better to agree directly. Anyway, he had his own credit for it. The crown prince is the actual coach, but the crown prince would not follow him. It's their own fight for credit.

"Since General Liu also agrees, come and beat the drums to gather the generals, Gu and General Liu will announce the battle order."

As soon as Zhao Xu's voice fell, someone went outside to beat the drums. The heavy drums lifted the spirits of some generals.

"It's Jujianggu, the marshal called us to discuss matters, hurry up."

A group of generals rushed to Liu Guangyi's tent, wondering if there was going to be a battle, they were all so excited.

Sure enough, when they entered, there were only three people inside, one was Liu Guangyi, needless to say, one of them was the supervisor, Cao Bin, they had also met, and the other young man, they knew each other even more, that was Zhao Xu, unexpectedly the crown prince was here , this does not mean that there is a war to be fought.

"See Your Highness, I have seen Liu Shuai, and I have seen Mr. Cao."

The generals saw Zhao Xu one by one, and they began to stand on both sides consciously, watching excitedly what the people above had to say.But looking at those maps, they knew it was a good thing.

"Hehe, everyone looks very happy. It seems that you have guessed something, so I will tell you that I have summoned you this time to tell you that our East Route Army is ready to fight, and we will start fighting with Shu. The country has engaged in the first hand-to-hand combat, and there are some things that I need to explain to you face to face, how to act."
