A lowly soldier becomes king, I slaughter my way through the late Tang Dynasty!

Guo Wei's current official position is Hedong Yaya, which is one rank lower than Yang Bin's Jiedu Yaya.

Logically speaking, his son was not qualified to request an audience with Liu Zhiyuan.

They are even less qualified to participate in such a core meeting.

But now, Guo Rong took the initiative to request an audience outside the tent, saying that he had important military intelligence to report from the Hebei direction.

Guo Wei frowned, realizing that things were not simple.

He quickly cupped his hands in greeting.

"General, my son Guo Rong is usually calm and composed. His recklessness must mean that the military situation is indeed of great importance."

Liu Zhiyuan nodded and let Guo Rong in.

A well-proportioned young man with bright, piercing eyes stepped into the tent.

At this very moment, three future emperors have gathered in this military tent in Hedong!

After the fall of the Jin Dynasty, Liu Zhiyuan declared himself emperor and established the Han Dynasty.

The Han Dynasty lasted only two generations before Guo Wei ascended the throne and established the Zhou Dynasty.

After Guo Wei's death, his adopted son Guo Rong succeeded him.

This Guo Rong, also known as Chai Rong in later generations, was the most outstanding wise ruler in terms of both civil and military achievements during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period.

of course.

At this moment, even Liu Zhiyuan did not know that he would become emperor in the future, let alone Guo Wei and his son.

After bowing, Guo Rong knelt on one knee and reported to his superior.

"General, Hebei military situation: a great victory at Yunshandang! The main force of the Khitan, 5,000 cavalry, has been completely annihilated!"

The commander-in-chief of the Khitan central army, Prince Yongkang Yelü Ruan, has been captured alive! He is already en route to Bianliang.

Just two simple sentences.

This silenced the entire venue of the highest-level military conference in Hedong!

Liu Zhiyuan's eyes widened, and he even wondered if he was getting old and there was something wrong with his hearing.

Before he could ask a question.

Shi Hongzhao was the first to lose it!

"What nonsense are you spouting, you little brat? Where did you get this rubbish, and you dare to treat it as major military intelligence?!"

After a roar, he glared at Guo Wei and said.

"Guo Que'er, you really need to discipline your son properly. He rushes to report important military information without verifying it first."

On the battlefield, this would be a capital offense punishable by beheading!

Guo Wei has a sparrow tattoo on his neck, so he has a nickname: Guo the Sparrow.

He frowned, clearly not believing the news was true.

But trusting in Guo Rong's character, he rebuked him.

"Hurry up and tell me! Where did you get this information?"

Guo Rong took the step forward his father offered and hurriedly said.

"I wouldn't dare to spread military intelligence carelessly; this news is absolutely true! It was just delivered by a spy from Hebei who was gathering information."

Upon hearing this...

Yang Bin frowned; gathering information had always been his responsibility.

"Wait a minute, let me check."

After saying that, Yang Bin rushed out in a hurry.

Not long after, he took a letter and hurried back into the tent.

"It's true! My scouts have also sent back military intelligence, but they haven't reported it yet for fear of disturbing our important discussions."

This letter, containing military intelligence, was delivered to Liu Zhiyuan.

The battle details recorded here were even more extensive, which made Liu Zhiyuan's eyes widen and his expression quite interesting!

Seeing this, everyone was even more horrified!

Finally, Liu Zhiyuan finished reading it.

Shi Hongzhao acted first, snatched the intelligence report, and began to examine it carefully.

He only glanced at it before exclaiming in astonishment!

"Li Rui!?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Zhang was suddenly startled!

He quickly moved forward and squeezed next to Shi Hongzhao.

"What does the victory at Yunshandang have to do with Li Rui? Did he lead the attack?"

Upon hearing this...

Guo Wei couldn't resist any longer and quickly stepped forward to check the details.

The three of them huddled together, glancing at the military intelligence report over and over.

Su Fengji was also itching to squeeze through, but he forcibly suppressed the urge to do so.

"Have you finished reading? What exactly happened? Tell me!"

however.

Shi Hongzhao was completely dumbfounded after watching the battle!

He scratched his head, then immediately forgot everything else.

I pulled out a map of Hebei and started tapping around on it with my finger.

Upon seeing his appearance, Su Fengji knew that this battle was bound to be very exciting!

Otherwise, Shi Hongzhao, a martial arts fanatic, could never be so obsessed!

Su Fengji hurriedly asked.

"Was it Li Rui who did it?"

Wang Zhang pursed his lips, speechless for a moment.

Guo Wei picked up the conversation, and couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement.

"Yes, Li Rui was in charge, and Wang Chongyin was in charge. They annihilated the Khitan's main force of 5,000 and captured Yelü Ruan, the commander of the central army."

After this battle, it's likely that all the Khitans in Hebei will flee north!

Done.

Guo Wei also joined Shi Hongzhao, gathering around the map and pointing at it.

"Look, this is Li Rui's marching route."

"Hiss! So it seems that this kid was already planning the Battle of Yunshan Dang when he first led his troops out of Boling County?"

"Such deep scheming! Such far-reaching plans!"

"Look here again, this is Yunshan Dang."

"It's a good place for an ambush! However, Yelü Ruan isn't stupid; it won't be easy to get him to willingly go in."

"Li Rui took the initiative to charge into the fray, inflicting heavy damage on Yelü Ruan, causing him to lose his composure."

"It sounds simple, but if it were anyone else, they probably wouldn't even be able to get close to Yelü Ruan."

"Hmm, tough, tough..."

"But Li Rui succeeded."

"Yes, not only did it succeed, it was a resounding victory!"

"Wow! That's impressive, really impressive..."

Two of the top military generals from Hedong were whispering and commenting on each other.

Su Fengji was unfamiliar with military affairs, so he looked at Yang Bin.

Although Yang Bin was good at leading troops, in terms of combat skills, he was definitely no match for Shi Hongzhao and Guo Wei, who were both pure military generals.

However, Liu Zhiyuan, this military commander, was quite skilled in warfare.

He stood up, pulled Shi Hongzhao and Guo Wei apart, and stared at the map for a long time.

finally.

The three most skilled strategists exchanged glances but remained silent.

Su Fengji was completely bewildered.

"What's wrong?"

Guo Wei opened his mouth, then shook his head helplessly.

"I can't fight this battle with Li Rui."

Liu Zhiyuan coughed lightly, and without putting on airs as a military commander, readily admitted it.

"I can't play either."

Su Fengji was immediately stunned!

He turned to look at Shi Hongzhao.

This man is the most skilled and fierce general in their important town in Hedong.

All eyes turned to them.

Shi Hongzhao was immediately filled with embarrassment!

Not long ago, he said that Li Rui was a kid and that his reputation was all earned by luck.

but now……

In front of the commander and his colleagues.

Even if Shi Hongzhao has a thick skin, he can't keep up the pretense.

After holding it in for a long time, he finally blushed.

"Hmph, if I were ten years younger, perhaps I could..."

He hadn't finished speaking.

Su Fengji rolled his eyes.

"Understood. No one but Li Rui could have accomplished the great victory at Yunshan Dang."

Shi Hongzhao immediately became anxious and wanted to save face.

Guo Wei sighed.

"Admit it, there's no shame in it."

Shi Hongzhao glared at him angrily, but had nothing to say.

Su Fengji and Yang Bin exchanged a glance and both clicked their tongues.

How come Li Rui is so fierce?!

Originally, the battle situation in Hedong was quite interesting.

As a result, Li Rui won such a great victory in Hebei!

In contrast, they, in Hedong, commanded 80,000 elite troops, yet faced 20,000 Khitan cavalry.

But it seems timid!

What kind of mess is this?!

Without comparison, there is no harm!

After a moment of silence, the topic abruptly shifted back to the present.

They started discussing the very first question again.

Should they send troops?

The previous conclusion was that no troops would be deployed.

Compared to Hebei and Shandong, maintaining the status quo is enough for them.

But now, Li Rui has achieved a great victory at Yunshan Dang...

If we don't send troops, we really can't explain ourselves!

Just as the people of Hedong were agonizing over the matter...

Wang Zhang, the official in charge of the capital, had already wandered off into the distance!

He had only one thing on his mind.

Wow, Li Rui is this awesome!

If my daughter marries him, wouldn't that be...?
