Chapter 157 Veteran Guo Wei
"Mr. Chen has been to the Southern Tang Dynasty and is familiar with the situation. What are the tricks? Just say it! "
Chen Yilun was very humble and said with a smile: "I dare not say any clever strategy, but I just followed the Marquis's method and had some ideas... My subordinates thought that the court of the Southern Tang Dynasty was obviously divided into two parties, north and south. Huangfu Hui's death just hit the weak point of the scholars in the north. The Marquis could make a big fuss by the lack of salt."
Ye Hua frowned slightly. That's what he planned. Isn't this Chen Yilun talking nonsense?
"Mr. Marquis, what subordinates meant to spread news among the people is that Li Jingsui, Li Jingda and others hoarded goods and harmed the people, but they could attack the northern cliques against the court!"
Ye Hua took a breath, he thought for a while, and understood the viciousness of Chen Yilun's method!
Logically speaking, the one who is really capable of hoarding is the Southern Group, that is, the local faction of the Southern Tang Dynasty. These people occupy a key position and are deeply trusted by Li Jing, calling the wind and rain, and doing whatever they want.
The scholar group in the north has been on the verge of being on the verge of being willing but unable to do so.
From the perspective of balancing the two factions, it is the same idea to make the ball for the people in the north, let them fight against the Southern Group and Ye Hua make that list.
But Chen Yilun was unique and suggested that he continue to attack the people in the north. Originally, the scholars in the north were marginalized and suffered repeated black hands. Can they bear it?
Chen Yilun completely disappointed them and forced them to abandon the Southern Tang and turn to the Great Zhou!
But there are no masters in the Southern Tang Dynasty?
Chen Yilun smiled, "Marty, the people's momentum has been created. Sun Sheng and others must speak for the northern scholars. When they point their finger at the southern scholars, we will stuff the smuggling evidence into the hands of the southern officials. If we are angry, will we still show mercy?"
"Mr. Chen is very smart. We are openly helping the north and secretly helping the south. We use salt as a weapon to make them bite the dog's hair, waiting for Dazhou to clean up the mess!" Ye Hua smiled and said, "Mr. Chen is really not simple. With this clever plan, your ability is not inferior to Wei Renpu!"
Chen Yilun waved his hand in a hurry. He was just a minor official, and he could not compare to the emperor's favorite minister.
Ye Hua didn't think so. More than a year ago, when Wei Renpu was in Guo Weiba's Mansion (the office before he achieved hegemony), his status was not as good as Chen Yilun!
In just over a year, I have been promoted to the three phases.
In this era, there is nothing impossible, the key is to follow the right person!
Ye Hua suddenly remembered someone, who was a member of Zhao Daba Mansion. After Zhao Pu, he also became the prime minister of the Song Dynasty. He seemed to be called Chen Lun... Chen Lun? Chen Yilun?
Could they be the same person?
The names of officials are not static. For example, after Guo Wei succeeded to the throne, Guo Chongwei changed his name to Guo Chong. Zhao Er's original name was Zhao Kuangyi, but after his brother became emperor, he changed it to Zhao Guangyi.
After Zhao Guangyi succeeded to the throne, as a minister, the word "Yi" in his name must of course avoid taboos, Shen Yilun and Shenlun!
It should be him!
Ye Hua scratched his head. Zhao Pu had been his subordinate, but now he has another Shen Yilun. Didn’t God tell him to take Zhao Da’s path?
Ye Hua tried hard to shake his head, but he had not really planned it... But then again, it was still useful to make good friends. Ye Hua immediately wrote a letter of recommendation, asking Chen Yilun to take him to meet Wei Renpu and explain his plan carefully. With Lao Wei's bad water, he could definitely do it perfectly.
And they had already made the idea of Nan Tang again. They were absolutely familiar with it.
Ye Hua sent Chen Yilun away, and then continued to lead the cavalry guards, galloping in Huainan, reaching Taizhou as far as the way. Ye Hua mainly focused on destruction, especially the salt-cooking industry on the coast, without leaving any reserved. He gave 10,000 stones to the Southern Tang, and he would destroy 100,000 stones, one million stones!
In Ye Hua's dictionary, there is no loss!
The Southern Tang side was so angry that the crown prince Li Jing then sent people to chase him, trying to get rid of the Cavalry Guards. But he ignored that each Cavalry Guard was given three war horses, and it was like the wind, which was not something that the Southern Tang infantrymen could catch up with.
When they chased after him, Ye Hua had already fled. If it were a small army, it would be eaten.
In just a short period of time, Ye Hua experienced the suppression of nomadic peoples on farming people!
Without war horses, you will be wearing armor and equipped with crossbows. You will be very eager to fight head-on. You will not suffer any losses. Sorry, the cavalry will run away, so they won’t fight with you!
They will only hide far away, waiting for you to be tired and unable to stand it, and then suddenly come out and give you a fatal blow!
In a word, without a war horse, there is no speed, and without speed, there will be only slaughter!
The martial arts of the world are only fast and not broken!
After Ye Hua thought about it repeatedly, when the battle ended, no matter how difficult it was, he had to build his own horse farm and raise enough war horses to truly be invincible!
Back to Chuzhou, it has been the weather in the twelfth lunar month.
Although the two Huai Rivers are warmer than the Central Plains, the cold wind is still cold and cold. Especially when it comes, it is definitely a torture to catch up with the rainy weather.
During these days, the Great Zhou did not continue to expand the results of the war, but instead focused on strengthening the city walls of Chuzhou.
Fortunately, with the cement invented by Ye Hua, Zhou Bing could quickly fill the damage of the city wall, strengthen the female wall, and add a urn in the city. From the outside, it was still the same Chuzhou, but in fact it was very different.
Guo Wei was wearing an ordinary military uniform and wrapped in a thick fur coat outside. He walked in the city, which was no different from ordinary generals.
He specially picked up the city walls and walked carefully, staring at each place, thinking in his mind as he walked that he always fought in the north in the past. The biggest difference between the northern cities and the south was the drainage system. There were more ditches, open ditches, and hidden ditches in the southern city walls, all in order to drain the water.
Now in winter, the water level drops and the ditches are exposed soon.
If the Southern Tang soldiers entered the city from these places, it would be troublesome.
"If you pass the order, you must block the ditch or dark hole. It is best to fill it. If you can't fill it, you must arrange personnel. Patrol day and night, and you will not be careless!"
The soldiers around him hurried down to pass the order.
Guo Wei walked for a while and found a soldier in the corner of the wall huddled his hands and was dozing. He seemed to be no more than 17 years old at most, and he was so cold that he was snot clear.
Guo Wei took out a gourd from his arms, which contained strong wine. He walked up and poked the soldier.
"Drink it and warm your body."
The soldier was in a daze and took a sip. The strong smell of alcohol made him cough constantly. The soldier was reluctant to let him go. He took another sip, and a warm current surged from his throat to his appetite, and it was no longer cold...
"Don't be careless!"
Guo Wei continued to move forward, and he told the people around him to prepare more hats and not to underestimate the winter in Huainan, as it will freeze to death!
Guo Wei walked along the way, like an old senior, reminding the soldiers to pay attention to. He would drink wine for the soldiers and chat with the veterans.
Guo Wei told them that you should not be too beautiful when marrying a wife, just be honest and capable. You should fight outside all year round and leave your hometown. You should never want a wife with a bad character!
The veterans agreed deeply, and Guo Wei patted his butt and continued to check. He would blow his nose with his fingers, stand in the corner of the wall, and pee together... When he was with him, the soldiers felt no burden at all.
Even if it was any general, no one would have the ability, but Guo Wei did it. He was like an ordinary veteran, who was traveling through the army, from city defense and guarding, to military morale, to food, supplies, weapons and combat preparations... everything must be the best.
Ye Hua came back, and he accompanied Guo Wei to a small half of the city. The king and his minister were peeing in the corner. Guo Wei also said, "In winter, we should remind everyone that before going to war, don't drink too much water or soup, otherwise you won't have time to pee and make the urine soaked, which is not a trivial matter!
Seeing Ye Hua laughing, Guo Wei sank his old face, "Do you guys think I'm crazy? I'm so confused?"
"I dare not, don't dare!" Ye Hua waved his hand repeatedly, "Your Majesty's words are all good words, I will keep them in mind."
"Just remember! Since I was 16 years old, I have been a cautious person who has won for more than 30 years, while those who are impatient and aggressive are defeated. You must also remember that you can take a long-term vision, but the road is taken step by step! Do you understand?"
Ye Hua could hear that this was a reminder from a veteran on the battlefield, and said more and more seriously: "Your Majesty's teachings, I will remember them!"
The king and his ministers turned their garrison and just sat down by the stove, Wei Renpu came. He suppressed his excitement and said excitedly: "Your Majesty, I just received a secret report. The Southern Tang Dynasty gathered three armies and came straight to Chuzhou!"
After hearing this, Guo Wei seemed to have not heard it, but continued to cook the fire. When the warmth came, Guo Wei smiled and smiled brightly, "Sir Wei, Ye Qing, you have used so many strategies and put in so much effort. I'm afraid you'll just wait for this moment!"
Ye Hua said confidently: "Nan Tang sent troops hastily and made an impetuous move forward. They will undoubtedly be defeated!"
Chapter completed!
