Chapter 946 tell you to shut up
Shizong Chai Rong finally arrived at the city of Shouzhou and camped on the north bank of the Huai River.After learning everything, he also praised it a little, but he didn't take it too seriously, because Chai Rong's goal has always been to unify the world, but the first step to unify the world is to attack Shouzhou first.

If Shouzhou is not destroyed, it is difficult to take Jinling.But it is impossible to bypass Shouzhou and attack Jinling directly. As long as Shouzhou does not go down, no matter what the credit is, it will not be too great.However, whether it was beheading or capturing this time, Chai Rong was a little surprised, because in Chai Rong's view, with Li Gu's ability, he could at most run away immediately after seeing the enemy's reinforcements after a long attack.

But it wasn't until Li Gu gave him a big surprise that he not only beheaded more than ten thousand enemy soldiers, but even seized the grain and grass materials that originally belonged to Shouzhou.After careful counting, this batch of materials is indeed quite a lot. This batch of materials was originally raised by Li Jing to fully reinforce Shouzhou's resistance to the Great Zhou army. Unfortunately, that idiot Liu Yanzhen thought it was just a batch of ordinary materials, and he dared to do so Daredevil.

The luckiest thing is that these deliverers have been following behind the main force. They had already arrived in Shouzhou, but without Liu Yanzhen's order, they did not dare to hand over this batch of supplies to anyone. They had to continue to follow, which led to this batch of The supplies fell into Zhao Kuangyin's hands.

After the inventory is completed, apart from the consumption during this period, it is also a huge fortune for Chai Rong.It is of course a good thing to get this batch of supplies, but what is even better is that Shouzhou cannot get them, which can greatly weaken Shouzhou's strength and durability.

Chai Rong said with satisfaction: "You did a good job this time, Li Gu, I did not misread you, so I let you be the first to attack Shouzhou."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your compliment." Li Gu knew in his heart that the first attack was just a tentative attack, and Chai Rong didn't have any expectations for himself at all. He didn't expect Chai Rong to say such polite words now... Although he really wanted to rush over to him Two slaps, but the team is the emperor.

Chai Rong said: "The road to the Eastern Expedition must not be interrupted. I have traveled all the way to Shouzhou and conscripted hundreds of thousands of strong men from Songzhou, Bozhou, Chenzhou, Yingzhou, Xuzhou, Suzhou, Xuzhou, Caizhou and other places. What will I do next? You are very clear in your heart. Attack Shouzhou, forcibly attack the city, non-stop day and night, until Shouzhou falls."

When Chai Rong opened his mouth, everyone was startled from ear to ear. Are we going to attack now?Really storm?The city wall of Shouzhou is strong, how can it be so easy to capture?What's more, the defender Liu Renshan is an absolute veteran, he will not make any mistakes, and it will not be easy to capture Shouzhou.

But judging from Chai Rong's performance...it should have been decided, and he has conscripted hundreds of thousands of strong men from several states. At this time, no one can stop Chai Rong's decision.

"Your Majesty...this is absolutely impossible." Zhao Kuangyi stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, the city wall of Shouzhou is unbreakable. If you want to capture Shouzhou, you can only adopt the strategy of besieging the city. Forcibly attacking without success will cost the lives of the soldiers. As long as the siege... ..."

"Shut up." Chai Rong didn't want to hear all of Zhao Kuangyi's explanations, because he had already made up his mind on this matter, and he must capture Shouzhou as soon as possible. Only when Shouzhou City was destroyed, could they continue their eastward march.

"His Majesty……"

"To shut up."

"His Majesty……"

"Didn't you hear me telling you to shut up?" Chai Rong suddenly looked at Zhao Kuangyi with wide eyes. Chai Rong's character was not too assertive, nor did he look down on Zhao Kuangyi.It's just that he felt that a child who was only in his teens was not qualified to talk about the art of war with him.

If it was at the wine table, Zhao Kuangyi would not be angry at what he said.But this is discussing national affairs, what is a child messing up?Although Zhao Kuangyi's martial arts were good, he was still good enough to go out to fight with Zhao Kuangyin. As for the art of war and national policy, this kid was still far behind.

Although Zhao Kuangyi was a little excited, he didn't dare to say anything after seeing Chai Rong's reaction. After all, he was not stupid, he was just a little excited just now.He hoped that Chai Rong would give him a chance to express his thoughts, but Chai Rong was unwilling to give this opportunity...then there was no other way.

Zhao Kuangyin said: "Your Majesty, don't be angry, children don't understand the rules."

"Zhao Kuangyi, I know you are very capable, but leading troops to fight is different from your usual martial arts training. It's better for you to talk less, don't make me angry, or I will hit you hard." Chai Rong and Zhao Kuangyin have a good personal relationship, although Not good enough to treat Zhao Kuangyi as his own brother, but at least treat him as a little brother, Chai Rong won't be really angry, just want to scare the kid.

Zhao Kuangyi was very helpless, because he was underestimated by Chai Rong because of his young age.In fact, a person's ability has nothing to do with age. Master Zong Xin debuted at his own age. At that time, his martial arts were not as good as his own, but his attainments in the art of war and strategy were beyond the reach of others.

So you have to find a way to prove your strength before others will listen to you.In fact, the strategy last time was very successful. If Chai Rong knew that Zhao Kuangyi had come up with the strategy of attacking Liu Yanzhen, he would not have stopped Zhao Kuangyi from speaking like this.

Of course, Chai Rong really didn't know that Zhao Kuangyi planned this incident, because Li Gu and Li Chongji had already shared the credit for it, and Zhao Kuangyi just helped his brother lead the army to successfully attack.

Zhao Kuangyi glanced at Li Gu depressedly, and Li Gu was also very embarrassed, but he would never admit that he lied about this matter.

Fan Zhi said: "Your Majesty, such a forced siege must have caused a lot of casualties. Although Shouzhou City is important, it does not require such a big sacrifice. It is better to listen to the words of Zhao Kuangyi's little brother and siege the city for a few months. It can be easily captured without a single soldier." Wouldn't it be better?"

Fan Zhi understood what Zhao Kuangyi meant, and knew that Zhao Kuangyi originally had the right to speak, but was swallowed up by Li Gu and Li Chongjin.Zhao Kuangyi's strategy is very good. The siege does not need to consume anything, as long as the supply is prevented from being sent to Shouzhou, they will naturally surrender when there is no food in the city.

Of course, Southern Tang would not just watch Shouzhou being besieged to death, they would definitely send troops to reinforce them, and they would defeat them one by one.Moreover, the siege is indeed risky, and the casualties are too heavy, which will inevitably cause dissatisfaction among the people.

Chai Rong said: "Fan Xiang is right, but Shouzhou is not so important, it is very important, extremely important. Only by obtaining Shouzhou can there be hope of conquering Southern Tang. Shouzhou is the first battle against Southern Tang. This battle We must win beautifully, so as to give Southern Tang a disarm. What's more, once winter is over and spring plowing is approaching, when the spring plowing arrives, the morale of the soldiers who care about their homes will plummet. We must seize Shouzhou before the spring plowing, as long as Build a defense in Shouzhou, and you can rest easy."

Chai Rong knew very well that as long as Shouzhou was captured, the Zhou army would be able to advance and attack, retreat and defend, and it was only a matter of time before the Southern Tang was captured.So all the anxiety was in Shouzhou, and he was so anxious to give his best.

Zhao Kuangyi wanted to speak but didn't dare to speak. He knew that no matter how good the relationship between Zhao Kuangyin and Chai Rong was, after all there was a difference between monarchs and ministers. As Zhao Kuangyin's younger brother, Chai Rong would give him some face, but at most he would not kill him. , if Chai Rong is made anxious, Zhao Kuangyi may not have a good fruit to eat.

And Jun Wu joked that if he spoke again at this time, Zhao Kuangyi might really be slapped, so now he had to let Fan Zhi speak.Fan Zhi was very smart. He knew Zhao Kuangyi's plan in his heart, and he also knew that it was not wise to attack Shouzhou, so everything depended on Fan Zhi's eloquence.

"Your Majesty, since Shouzhou is so important, we should keep the city walls of Shouzhou intact. If we forcibly attack the city, it will inevitably cause damage to the city walls. Even if we capture Shouzhou, the defense will be greatly reduced."

Chai Rong waved his hand and said: "Mr. Fan is worrying too much. The biggest problem with Shouzhou City is its strength. If the city wall can be directly destroyed, I don't mind at all. The lower the defense power, the better, even if the entire city wall can be directly destroyed. The destruction of the city is also a good thing. This matter has been decided, you don't need to say much, now it depends on who has the courage to win the commander and is willing to fight for me."

"I am willing to contribute to your majesty." Li Gu responded immediately. He wanted to make meritorious deeds, and only military exploits were indelible. As long as he could capture Shouzhou, he would be the number one contributor to the Southern Tang Dynasty.

"Well, Li Aiqing has this intention, so I naturally want to give Aiqing a chance to perform. Li Chongjin and Zhao Kuangyin are the two pioneers. Tomorrow the cock crows to cook, and the sun rises to attack the city. They will not stop day and night until Shouzhou is captured. "

"The minister takes orders." X3
Li Gu was quite happy. Hundreds of thousands of strong men attacked the city, and he was the supreme commander. Moreover, Zhao Kuangyin and Li Chongjin were only vanguards. This battle was enjoyable and he should be able to win.After all, with such a large advantage in numbers, and the continuous siege of the city day and night, no matter how strong Shouzhou City is, it is impossible to last long.

Zhao Kuangyi glanced at Fan Zhi, who was helpless.After all, Chai Rong is the emperor. If someone slaps him twice at this time to wake him up and discuss it again, there may be a turning point for this matter.But now he has the final say, and no one dares to give him two slaps... If the third prince is still there, or if Guo Wei is still alive, there may be a turning point, because Chai Rong is not only Guo Wei and Guo Xin, but also the words of other people. I can't even listen.

Seeing that Fan Zhi had no choice, Zhao Kuangyi was about to speak when Fan Zhi immediately stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, I have one more thing to do."

"Say."

"I recently got news that the third prince had appeared in Luoyang. I thought that the third prince should have grown up by now. The third prince has learned martial arts from Master Zong Xin since he was a child. He can even count. It shouldn't be difficult to attack the Southern Tang Dynasty. Everyone has their own rules for attacking the Southern Tang Dynasty. If His Highness King Qi, the third son of my Great Zhou Dynasty, is willing to make a little effort, he will be able to take Jinling directly. Some people go and ask the third prince to return to court."
