Chapter 832: Farewell

Amidst the crackling of firecrackers, a light car was slowly moving forward.

There were too many people on the street, and everyone crowded into the street. It was even more lively than the Chinese New Year.

The door and windows of the light car were closed, and a child covered his ears with his hands. He looked out curiously through the cracks in the curtains and asked a gentle woman in the car: "Auntie Shu, are you celebrating the New Year again?"

This was exactly the car driven by the Princess of Shu. The Princess of Shu stroked the child's head and said, "This is your father's great victory for the Song Dynasty. The people in Bianjing are happy and setting off firecrackers to celebrate. This is not another New Year."

The child is Ping Guan: "We have won a great victory. Will dad and mom be back soon?"

The princess of Shu sighed: "It won't be so fast. After the war, there are still many things to do. We need to reward the soldiers who fought, and we need to let the people settle down again, build houses for them, and distribute fields. Wait until

Only when they can support their older brothers, sisters, and younger brothers and sisters can your father come back."

Bian Guan sighed like the princess of Shu: "I thought brother Ziyou was only a few years older than me, but it turns out he is an adult with a beard, and he is not as fun as the little chair in my aunt's house."

The princess of Shu was angry and funny: "You were so excited this morning. You thought you had another playmate, right?"

Bian Guan looked very disappointed: "Either brother or nephew, I will be as tired as dad in the future..."

"..."

In Shenglong Mansion, Su You was seeing Song Jun off.

Guo Kui's army is going back, leaving only a few warships on Jiaozhi Road.

The previously captured soldiers had been handed over to Li Daocheng, and a military port was being built at the mouth of Yuanjiang River, which was named Haining City.

After the military port is repaired, it will also become the location of Haining City Shipping Department. Nearby is Halong Bay, which is a place with excellent scenery.

Guo Kui handed over to Su You: "Mingrun was the one who made the most contribution in this battle. It is not an exaggeration to say that he turned the tide. The way the military newspaper writes it really makes me ashamed."

Su You also surrendered to Guo Kui: "Your Majesty, you think too much. You are the one who fought the tough battles of hard work and licking blood. Su You was just opportunistic once."

"If you hadn't attracted all the elite troops of Li Yue Dynasty to the Furiang River, this battle would not have been won so easily."

Guo Kui said: "Li Changjie is also a fierce general. He said he wanted to meet you. Mingrun, do you think so?"

Su You asked: "Did he say that he would die immediately if he didn't see me? Or would something happen on the road?"

Guo Kui smiled and said: "That's not true."

Su You also laughed: "Then why should I see him? It's better to argue than not to see him."

Guo Kui nodded: "Yes."

Su You said to Guo Kui: "Li Qiande is still a child. I hope your father-in-law will take good care of him and not let him be disappointed in the people of Song Dynasty."

Guo Kui said: "With Mingrun's words, I will restrain the sergeants and not be rude to the Jiaozhi royal family."

Su You said: "Not only that, but also the officials and people of the Song Dynasty along the way, as well as the older members of the Li family, and more importantly, keep an eye on those servants and maids."

"I have given your Majesty a secret. This child is related to the public support and stability of Jiaozhi County and cannot be ignored. I have found a famous teacher with him, who is open-minded and sensible. When he arrives in Bianjing City, he will

There are arrangements."

Guo Kui said angrily: "I have become his mother-in-law, right?"

Su You repeatedly raised his hand and said, "Your Majesty, please do whatever it takes to avoid the trouble. Can you just make my life in Jiaozhi a little easier?"

After saying that, he took a mother-of-pearl lacquer scabbard and a long-handled sword covered in ivory and silver from Ping Zhengsheng's hand: "This is the sword of Annan monarch Wu Quan during the Southern Han Dynasty. When the Southern Han Dynasty conquered Annan, Chongwen envoy Xiao Yi made a speech

"Today, the rain has been falling for ten days, the sea route is dangerous, and Wu Quan is cunning and should not be taken lightly. The army should be cautious and use more rural guides before it can advance." Liu You was panic-stricken. As for the defeat, Annan was separated from China."

"I received this sword from the people, and gave it to Duke Ling, who led the army to conquer Jiaozhi. The sword was used in the right way. The allusions to this sword are enough to prove it."

That battle was the famous Battle of Bai Dangjiang.

At that time, Liu Zhen was stationed at Haimen and ordered his son Liu Hongcao to send troops to Baiteng River to attack it. Wu Quan resisted the war and planted a piece of wood wrapped with iron points at the seaport in advance. When the tide rose, he "had people challenge him with a light boat" and pretended to be

The defeat led the Southern Han army into a wooden stake trap in the middle of the river. When the tide receded, the wooden stakes pierced the Southern Han warships. Wu Quan then launched his army to attack and won.

Liu Xunchui was defeated by the Xiahao team and his son Liu Hongcao died in the battle, so he had no choice but to "collect the remaining troops and return".

Guo Kui was born in the cavalry and did not know this allusion. After Yang Cong explained it to him, he couldn't help but shuddered and took the knife: "I can't afford you such a big investment!"

What Guo Kui said was of course not referring to the knife, but to Su You finding such a perfect excuse for his unfavorable early advance.

Su You is not a good gentleman. He did take advantage of the old man in this matter, and now he is making amends.

However, for Guo Kui, a general who was born as a big-headed soldier and had been despised by civilian officials all his life, Su You was an anomaly.

When it comes to other civil servants, they don’t know how to command and give commands blindly. If they win, they will take 70% of the credit, and if they lose, they will all take the blame. That’s normal operation.

This battle needs to be replaced by a civil servant, that is, the military officials have all become rubbish. They have a lot of troops and are helpless to patrol and make it difficult to advance. At the critical moment, they have to rely on the civil servants to turn the tide and seal the throat with a sword. They actually ran thousands of miles to attack the famous capital and captured the royal court with just one person.

The power can destroy a country!

Well, even if other civil servants wrote like this, no one in the court would believe it, but when it comes to Su You, this is the fact.

But Su You did not write this, but emphasized that such an opportunity was created by Guo Kui's command of the army. It was created by all commanders, soldiers of the Western Army, surrendered troops, subordinates, and even volunteers who transported grain and grass, and maritime merchants who coordinated transportation.

, the workshop owners, workers and people who worked hard to make weapons and rations all contributed to this battle. They all contributed to this battle.

The so-called united will unites the city.

For Guo Kui, who was accustomed to the virtues of civil servants, he even felt a little flattered.

It's so comfortable to work with a civil servant like Su Mingrun who is knowledgeable and sensible...

Guo Kui was afraid that he would lose his temper if he stayed any longer, so he hurriedly boarded the ship.

As soon as he left, other generals immediately gathered around him.

This time it was lively. Wang Zhongzheng was older and had a much more stable temperament, but Li Xian was different.

Su Mingrun said that he wanted to make a big show of his face. This time he used six warships to destroy Li Jiyuan and force Wei Shou'an to surrender. This was really a big deal.

The reward from the imperial court has not been received yet, but it is conceivable.

Su You said: "Why don't you still fight with me in Jiaozhi? The Nanyang Navy is about to be established here to control the throat of the sea. How about it? Are you interested?"

Li Xian became a little unexcited when he mentioned this: "Li Jiyuan's body has not been found so far. I'd better stay on land. At the end of the day, it can be wrapped in horse leather..."

Wang Zhongzheng smiled and said: "The power of the new army has been confirmed this time. After returning, His Majesty will definitely rebuild the Fourth Army. There is no one around him who understands this. Mingrun, you have to understand."

Su You nodded: "That's true, but you have to remind your majesty that the tactics adapted to the south this time are not necessarily suitable for the large-scale cavalry movement in the north. It is just that some effective models have been explored in terms of organization, logistics, and tactics.

That’s all, we need to continue researching.”

"After you go back, you must write a detailed work on the New Army's combat process in this battle for the Privy Council to study."

"But please keep it confidential." After saying that, he took out a thick manuscript: "This is my combat record of the battle of Shenglong Mansion. You can refer to the record format."

Wang Zhongzheng and Li Xian took it over and opened it. Good guy, even the amount of charge, launch time, angle, estimated effect, actual effect, and deviation reasons for each launch were all there. They couldn't help but look at each other.

The legendary Su Mingrun is as delicate and pure as a third-year-old, and he really deserves his reputation!

Regarding the cavalry general Yanda and the others, Su You used a different rhetoric and praised them greatly.

Su You was the benefactor of the generals of the Western Army in Yanda. According to Su You's idea, the Western Army who participated in this battle and the Forbidden Army in Beijing made a major rotation to continue to keep the secrets of the new army's new tactics from the Xixia people.

is the best choice.

However, it is impossible to think about it. Today's military system mostly relies on local soldiers to defend their own territory. The family members and friends of the sergeants are all in Shaanxi, and there are also many Tibetan people. This strategy will not work.

So we had no choice but to go in the opposite direction. The battle at Yanpian Mountain made the people watching the battle firmly believe that this must be the magic power of the great mage Yixi Weishe advancing again.

Then continue to add fuel to the flames. Su You believes that when these people arrive in Xixia, the valuable information will be buried in increasingly exaggerated descriptions and metaphors. With Jia Liang's guidance, they may not be able to attract Xixia.
