Chapter 659 Communication
"Guo Shouwen?" Cao Bin was shocked and a little unbelievable: "Why did he go to Guanzhong and seize Dasan Pass again?"
"Hehe, both Guohuas are now in Tang State, it's fun!" Liu Guangyi shook his head, drank wine, and said with a smile.
Guo Shouwen's courtesy name is Guohua, Cao Bin, and his courtesy name is Guohua. Cao Bin is the nephew of Guo Wei's concubine Zhang. Guo Shouwen was raised by Guo Wei since childhood. Including half of his adopted son, the two naturally got close to each other.
Guo Shouwen is only four years younger than Cao Bin.
"Where is it?" After drinking a glass of wine, Cao Bin said helplessly: "I knew he couldn't stand the loneliness. I never thought that he had gone to Guanzhong and even grabbed Dasan Pass. He was really promising."
"Yang Tingzhang was highly excluded, and it was not surprising that he defected to the Tang State. Wang Yanchao had conflicts with the Zhao Guan family before. He was defeated and surrendered. It was normal for Guo Congyi to several commanders of the commanders of several dynasties."
"The other vassal states, Dong Zunhui, Tongyuan Army, had complex grievances; Zhao Zan, Jingzhou, was selfish; Yao Neibin, a native of Yanyun, had his family in Khitan, and only looked after his left and right; Wang Yansheng, Yuanzhou, was originally a supporter, but as a result, he threatened the prime minister and left Yuanzhou, just for defense, but he was not unfaithful, and he was resentful in his heart."
"Although Your Majesty let these people stay away from the court and defend the border, and lose profits, Guanzhong is in a dilemma and raising troops is in trouble. People's hearts are different. Although they can check and balance each other, once they have external forces, these people will be a disaster!"
Liu Guangyi was a little surprised when he heard Cao Bin reveal the situation as if he were aware of it. This old man seemed to be very thoughtful. Hearing this analysis, he nodded and said:
"You missed one, Feng Jiye of Lingwu, who is far away from the court, has a son and father, and is arrogant and has a partial place. How could he be willing to get grain from the court's fire?"
"Hey——" Cao Bin sighed: "After the loss of Jingzhao Prefecture, and the loss of Guozhou, Guanzhong has become a trend of closing the door and beating dogs. The Tang army is in great power, and the vassal states are separated from each other, so they can only surrender and let them drive them."
Then, he remembered something again and stood up suddenly: "Shangzhou Wuguan and Nainan Pass, I'm afraid they have also been occupied."
"This is natural—" Liu Guangyi said for granted: "Tongguan is farther away, and Wuguan is obviously taken down."
"In this way, if the Guanzhong army comes out of Wuguan, it can threaten Xiangzhou and from Tongguan, it can threaten Luoyang, and the momentum of going down the mountain is unstoppable."
Upon hearing this, Cao Bin was silent.
The momentum is fierce, and it is really terrifying.
After some analysis, we have to admit that the situation in the Northern Song Dynasty was hopeless and we had missed the opportunity in this battle between the north and the south.
"Ruo, how could I have such a situation when I head south as soon as possible?" Cao Bin said with trembling lips.
"How to go south?" Liu Guangyi said helplessly: "The river goes east, the waves are rising and falling, and the Tang Dynasty navy is crisscrossing the rivers and seas. Only people beat me, but I don't have the share of hitting people."
"This battle is really frustrating!" Cao Bin was in Changsha, and from the newspaper, he could naturally analyze that the Tang army had several routes. Although there were not many soldiers, the offensive was very strong.
However, compared with the past ten thousand miles of the Yangtze River, the north could attack everywhere, but now it is the opposite, defending everywhere and loopholes everywhere, and elite soldiers and generals are all heading to the frontier.
If the Tang army could not defeat it, they could calmly retreat to the south of the Yangtze River, and transport food and supplies calmly, without any shortage of food.
Once food is guaranteed, the combat effectiveness of the army is guaranteed. How can we not win?
"By the way, you're here this time, not just a bar!"
Cao Bin calmed his face, looked at Liu Guangyi, and said in a deep voice.
"You said this!" Liu Guangyi smiled awkwardly. He was a warrior and didn't hide anything. He smiled and said, "I'm here to see you and talk about something."
"What's the matter?" Cao Bin frowned and became alert.
"Isn't this Wang Quanbin?" Liu Guangyi said: "After surrendering in Hanzhong, he also came to Changsha like us. He just didn't train cavalry. He went to the infantry and formed an army that was exactly the same as the imperial guards, with about 5,000 people. Then the Tang army fought with them for a year or two."
"He didn't hide it recently. He told me directly that he had become the commander of the city, and had the title of admiral, and directly commanded the five thousand people. The Ranger General of the Ranger was from the fifth-rank."
"Oh?" Cao Bin said in surprise: "He has made a great arrangement and has become the commander of the city? Isn't it embarrassing?"
The deployment of tens of thousands of people has become the commander commander of the past, which is really surprising.
The admiral knew that the imperial camp consisted of ten thousand people as one battalion, mainly admiral, and two other deputy admirals assisted them. Each battalion was divided into four armies in front, back, left and right, and each army was the commander commander.
To put it bluntly, it is to let Wang Quanbin enjoy the treatment of an admiral, but in fact only half of the troops are considered a kind of constraint.
That's what Cao Bin said, but he was extremely envious. Having the title of admiral means that he will be promoted later, and 5,000 people will be the real admiral.
The entire Tang Dynasty, the admiral and general, were the five generals of the Five Army Governor's Office. They were all big shots who were the only ones, and the most solemn ones were the earls.
"You are envious, right?" Liu Guangyi looked at his face and said, "I also envy him. He can lead troops to fight, win meritorious service, and be promoted to the title. We can only stay at home and watch the battle between the north and the south."
"No!" Cao Bin said stubbornly.
"You come here to me, you won't be trying to persuade me to surrender!"
Cao Bin said with a look of suspicion.
"That's right!" Liu Guangyi no longer concealed his feelings, but responded openly and shouted: "Now that the war is imminent, the Tang Dynasty has not many soldiers, so he is preparing to use some captured Song soldiers. In the past few years, there are more than 20,000 people. So the Tang people told me that they would become the commander, add the title of admiral, and have the sixth rank of Zhaowu Captain."
"This is a 5,000 soldiers and horses alone-"
Cao Bin was startled by Liu Guangyi's fanaticism, and he said helplessly: "Brother Liu, why are you like this? It's very different from the past."
"Different? This is also a helpless choice!"
Liu Guangyi stood up, looked at Cao Bin's expression, and said in a deep voice: "In recent years, those former subordinates have asked people to bring letters. They are either clearing land and farming, or cutting trees and building roads. Although they don't have to worry about food and drink, their muscles and bones have long dispersed."
"I just stopped last year and started to resume training. I thought I had already arranged it. They kept persuading me to surrender. Even if I was a stern heart, I should have been shaken."
"Besides, now, you still don't understand that the situation in Tang State has been achieved. No matter how powerful the imperial guards are, once the money and food are cut off, they can even turn against each other in front of the battlefield."
"Song of the country and abroad are in trouble, what are you waiting for? After a while, the world is unified and you still live as a prisoner?"
"In theory, you have a special identity and you surrender earlier than me?"
"Hey!" Cao Bin heard this persuasion and thought about the current situation. He had to admit that the State of Song was really at its end.
