Chapter 945 Whispers
Guo Shouwen is 32 years old, with a square face and a slender beard. He looks like a martial artist. In fact, he speaks cautiously and has many thoughts, and looks like a literati.
Zhang Weiqing was very happy to learn about the person.
Although the south has been peaceful for many years and has preserved a lot of vitality, it lacks elite soldiers and has few good generals. There are very few people like Guo Shouwen who are both literary and martial.
The key is that he was an old member of the Guo family, who was suspicious of the Zhao family and had a deep understanding of the Song State, and his background was really appropriate.
"Deployment--" Guo Shouwen respectfully bowed to 3.
"Guohua is here!" Zhang Weiqing said with a smile: "Come on, sit down and say, our family doesn't need to be so dissatisfied."
"Yes!" Guo Shouwen was flattered and sat down carefully, taking appropriate measures, without the roughness of a military general.
"The court has learned about your contributions and has been recorded. When the war is over, it will be cost-effective. Now I can only apologize for you and temporarily serve as the commander-in-chief."
Zhang Weiqing whispered softly, looking at him and reacting.
There are hundreds of people in one capital, five capitals and one battalion, and five battalion and one army. The leader is the army leader, also known as the commander of the capital, and is a veritable general. Above it, it is the wing that commands ten thousand people.
However, according to the new military system, the local general commanded 15,000 people, while the imperial guards had a large camp, one admiral and two deputy admirals. Therefore, he was actually only one step away from the senior officers.
Guo Shouwen naturally understood the system of the Tang Dynasty during these days, especially the military system. The wings of 25,000 wings were reduced to 15,000, and the imperial camp was reduced to 10,000 people, and the wings were lost.
Besides, although he, the commander of the general commander, had only 2,500 people, the army below was extremely armored, had good food, and was very capable of being elite soldiers.
This is a great trust for him.
"Thank you for your great kindness!" Guo Shouwen said with a touching look on his face, his words were very excited.
"This is what you deserve, and it is also a reward from the court and His Majesty, and it has nothing to do with me."
Zhang Weiqing waved his hand and quickly refused. Just keep this in mind and there is no need to say it. However, he was quite satisfied with Guo Shouwen's words.
Just understand the rules.
"Today, there are so many people. I see that you have some ideas, so I didn't look for you. Now there are only you and me. If you have any questions, just say something."
Zhang Weiqing's tone was plain, but her eyes were full of expectations.
"The deployment is indebted. Wang Yanchao, the vassal commander of Fengxiang Army, is a first-class veteran. He has been guarding Fengxiang for many years and has been extremely grateful to the hearts of the army and the people. If he attacks for a strong force, he will suffer heavy losses even if he wins it."
With the promotion as a prelude, Guo Shouwen has no doubts and said sincerely.
"I should save myself." Zhang Weiqing shook his head and said, "The Fengxiang Army's cavalry is less than 3,000, and it is a good cavalry. Without cavalry, it is definitely difficult to be a siege or field battle. Although there are more armor and weapons, it is difficult to take on a great task."
"What the deployment says is very much." Guo Shouwen nodded and said, "Although Wang Yanchao is powerful, the Fengxiang Army is a vassal state and cannot compare with the Tokyo Imperial Guard. The three thousand elite cavalry are the tooth soldiers of the Fengxiang Army. Wang Yanchao's heart is in trouble. As long as he designs to take it down, Fengxiang will be terrified and will be determined by edicts."
"Wang Yanchao is from a vassal state and knows the current affairs."
"This statement is reasonable." Zhang Weiqing nodded. Of course he knew Feng Xiangjun's weaknesses. This was a reasonable nonsense!
Seeing his tone, Guo Shouwen felt nervous and cursed himself for talking nonsense. The sonic sound character is famous, and he still needs to repeat it himself?
Seeing this, he hurriedly said: "It is not to be hiding the deployment. The Guanzhong vassal states actually have not thoughts about the court like Wang Yanchao. Even Wang Yanchao had to send troops because of Fengxiang's army."
"So, as long as you give up your interests, you can get the Fengxiang army attacked from both sides and even change your flag every once in a while."
Hearing this, Zhang Weiqing immediately became interested. He stayed in the south for a long time and almost disappeared. He didn't know much about their thoughts. He was quite surprised when he suddenly heard this.
Seeing that he was interested, Guo Shouwen hurriedly described Tokyo's depriving power of the vassal states, such as establishing county magistrates, reviewing death penalty, arranging magistrates, sucking elite troops into Beijing, and setting up transfer envoys to allocate money and grain.
These Tang courts deserved power, but for the vassal states, it was tantamount to cutting their flesh from their hearts, one after another, because the imperial guards were helpless.
Upon hearing this, Zhang Weiqing sighed: "The trouble of the Song State is the vassal state. It is the time for the imperial court to fight the northern expedition. If we give it a little more time, it is probably the joint force of the Central Plains. We have no hope."
After hearing this, Zhang Weiqing continued to ask him how he should do it, or where to start.
Guo Shouwen then revealed the truth: "Yang Tingzhang, the governor of Jingnan Army, whose sister is the concubine of Taizu of Zhou. Because of his identity, he is suspicious and even has life worries. Now he comes to Guanzhong from Hedong. Although he has always been at peace with himself, he knows that his heart is bitter."
"Although the Jingnan Army's military quota is only 5,000, Yang Tingzhang loves soldiers very much and leads troops well. As long as he joins the army, he happens to be north of Fengxiang. As long as he moves, he will definitely be able to take Fengxiang down."
Military quota, that is, the number of troops in the vassal states, is generally the organization. In order to limit the number of troops in the vassal states, if the number of troops in the vassal states is exceeded, it will be punished. If the military governors of the Northern Song Dynasty did not give them military quota, they would actually be just names.
"The arms can't force my thighs." Zhang Weiqing shook his head and said happily: "With some reinforcements, Fengxiang will definitely be released, and Jingzhao Mansion is just around the corner."
"Guohua, do you have any connection with Yang Fansang?"
"Due to the family affairs, I have been raised with the Guo family's personal army since I was a child, and I am a little familiar with him." Guo Shouwen said cautiously.
He still hid a little and did not reveal the previous contact, otherwise he would not have said clearly until now, what is his intention?
Only now can the army be in trouble can its position be highlighted, and it will be too late to reveal it.
"This is great." Zhang Weiqing grabbed his hand excitedly and said, "If Fengxiang is down, Guohua will be the first to be the best. Tell Yang Fan that the King of Zhou is married, and the court treats Zhou ministers well. As long as the matter is upheld, no matter whether it is successful or not, the court will not be stingy with the reputation and wealth."
Guo Shouwen felt this kindness and couldn't help but continue saying: "The last general will definitely convince him to surrender to the court to repay the court's kindness."
Not to mention anything else, the Tang State was rich and stingy, which was much better than being worried about being afraid of being in the Song State and calculating the accounts.
Zhang Weiqing nodded, feeling more and more satisfied. The Guanzhong war that had been stagnant for more than half a month finally made progress, which made him extremely happy.
Due to geographical limitations, he did not understand the progress of the other troops, which made him quite anxious, for fear that he would achieve his first contribution and follow him thousands of miles a day and eat dust.
