Governor please stay

Zhang Baoluo heaved a sigh of relief after bowing his hands and stepping back.He was really afraid that Gao Huan would rush south to Qiluo City in a fit of anger, that would be terrible.In fact, although Qiluo City is the core of Liang Jun's second line of defense, it is not an isolated city.

Not far to the east of Qiluo City is Ruyang County (Zhoukou City, Henan Province).According to the route of water transport, they had to conquer Ruyang City first at the first stop in the south.

Liang Jun is not a piece of wood, nor is it the square town system that was rigidly beaten in Xiao Yan's era. If you make a move, don't people just watch you punch and not fight back?

Zhang Baoluo was very worried about this, because the people who are active in the Liang army are actually from the north just like them, and the main combat faction headed by Liu Yishou is in power.

This group of people likes field battles and doesn't like to passively defend the city.

Although Zhang Baoluo did not fully agree with Duan Shao's negative views, he also believed that the scale of the war with Liang Guo could not be small!Just looking at the flat rivers and numerous rivers in this place in Henan, you can tell that big things will happen if a lone army goes deep!

"correct!"

Gao Huan's voice came from behind Zhang Baoluo, and he had no choice but to turn back and ask, "What is Gao Wang's order?"

"Go to the surrounding areas to capture strong men and transport food and grass. This battle cannot be stopped until the Huaihe River is fought. In the land of Henan, as many people as can be captured for corvee service. At that time, special people will be sent to arrest people, and to search for food and grass to supply on the spot. "

Gao Huan said with a cold face.

"King Gao, for Huaihe, that's..."

Zhang Baoluo didn't know how to say something.

He suspected that Gao Huan didn't know geography and didn't know where the Huaihe River was. 5 people may seem like a lot, but when the opponent is on guard, it is a dream to hit the Huaihe River!

Hitting the Huaihe River means that Nanyingchuan County where Qiluo City is located, Runan County where Xuanhu is located, and Xincai County (Baoxin) in East Yuzhou, which Liang State has occupied for decades, and the Northeast Gao Huan has to get the Ruyang County and Nanton County in front of him!

This is at least five counties, not counting Yingchuan County where Changshe City is located.To bring back these five relatively large counties is tantamount to restoring the border between the two countries to what it was before the Six Towns Rebellion.

Zhang Baoluo didn't even understand what Gao Huan was up to. It was inconvenient for him to say a lot of things, otherwise he would end up with Duan Shao.

"Since the matter has been done, don't do half of it, and simply solve Liang Jun in Henan in one go. You don't have to ask about other things."

Gao Huan stood in front of the empty treasury for a long time, afraid that such things would happen again and again.He finally made up his mind to solve the problem of Liang Jun's occupation of Henan in one go this time.

He believes that Gao Yue has lost the hearts of the people before, and even if he has achieved something now, it is nothing more than returning to the original point, and it can only make up for the loss of prestige caused by Gao Yue's fiasco.

Gao Huan was obviously unhappy that he had to work so hard, but could only "make up for his mistakes", especially after seeing such a miserable situation in Changshe City, he felt even more uncomfortable.

But if the land of five counties can be obtained, then there will be enough goods to reward the three armies.The experience of plundering the grasslands inspired Gao Huan. If the internal conflicts cannot be resolved, then the cake will be bigger after the external expansion, and there will be enough room for reform to implement his own ideas.

The newly won five counties are enough to send away those old brothers who are dissatisfied with the reform.In this way, bad things can be turned into good things, and it is not a waste of time.

"Here! The final general will definitely go all out."

Zhang Baoluo bowed his hands and withdrew, he no longer wanted to take the initiative to ask Gao Huan what he thought.

The people in most of the villages in Henan were transferred to Jiankang, Lianghuai and other places by Liang Jun.Even if they can be found now, they moved here privately later, and there are not many people in fact.

Gao Huan didn't know much about the local people's conditions, so he really thought too much.Zhang Baoluo, who was caught in the middle with his mouth open and his legs broken, couldn't be more uncomfortable.

……

"Shui Jing Zhu" records: (Ru) The river flows from west to east, bends and flows, hugs the city on three sides, and is shaped like a hanging gourd.

It is said that the Ru River is like a vine that circles more than half of Runan City from northwest to southeast, and Runan City is like a gourd hanging on the vine.Runan City in Runan County was named Xuanhu.

Now revisiting the old place, Liu Yishou looked at the bricks and stones on the wall of the north gate, thoughtfully, standing there for a long time.

"What is your lord thinking about?"

Yu Jin, who hadn't seen him for a long time, cupped his hands and asked.

Liu Yishou, who was already the king of Wu, is not what he used to be, and he is not angry and arrogant.Even if he doesn't have a straight face, people dare not give birth to a frivolous and shapeless heart.Even Yu Jin didn't dare to overstep.

"This brick is very hard. How did those sharp soldiers climb the city wall with bare hands?"

Liu Yishou was puzzled and said to himself.

It was he who led the troops to attack Shangcai by surprise and captured it.But someone else was in charge of commanding the siege and dealing with many details.

Xin Zuan, the governor of Runan who was arrested in his sleep by his troops in a surprise attack, probably had the same thoughts as Liu Yishou.

He just came to Xuanhu City today, but Yu Jin, Dugu Xin and Zhao Gui have been waiting for a few days.

"Show it to the King of Wu, maybe if the King of Wu is happy, he will reward you as partial generals."

Yu Jin laughed and said to the soldiers around him.

The soldiers were overjoyed, and hurriedly found an iron pick, knocked a few holes in the wall at will, used them as a support point, and walked up to the top of the city with swift strides, and Liu Yishou was stunned for a while.

"There is a priority in hearing the truth, and there is a specialization in the arts, that's all."

Liu Yishou said with emotion.

He is the leader of the team, he understands how to play politics, how to lead troops to fight, and how to govern the country, and he can even be said to be very proficient.But he didn't understand the "delicate work" such as climbing the city wall with bare hands.

Many things that he thought were very difficult and almost impossible to achieve were nothing more than ordinary things to others, perhaps not more difficult than finding a job.

It is an undeniable truth in any era that specialized people do specialized things. There is no need to look down on cheap industry, and there is no need to belittle yourself.

Whether it is the commander who decides the life and death of the army on the battlefield, or the personal soldier who can climb the city wall with bare hands, it is essentially just a job.

The scene at the gate of the city made Liu Yishou very emotional, and he secretly warned himself to calm down and not to be arrogant.

"Let's enter the city now. Gao Huan is coming in a menacing manner. With fifty thousand soldiers in hand, if he doesn't get a bargain from us, he will definitely not let it go."

Liu Yishou sighed. To be honest, he didn't want to come this time, but he had to.No one can deal with Yu Jin, Dugu Xin, and Zhao Gui at the same time, except him Liu.

"My lord, those few blows just now are actually okay for the last general."

After entering Xuanhu City, Hu Luxian took advantage of people not paying attention, and whispered to Liu Yishou, as if he had the desire to show off, and looked eager to try.

"When Xiang Yu was besieged on all sides and at the end of his life, he had only 28 cavalry around him, and he was able to kill Han generals and hundreds of Han soldiers. It can be described as extremely brave."

Liu Yishou patted Hu Luxian on the shoulder and continued: "But, he is the overlord of Western Chu, and he would be very proud of killing one or two Han generals, which is enough to show that he didn't understand where he was defeated until his death.

In the future, you are going to command thousands of troops. Compared with a personal soldier climbing the city wall with bare hands, wouldn't it make people laugh when the news spread?What if you win, what if you lose? "

Liu Yishou rolled his eyes at Hu Luxian and laughed.

"My lord taught me well, I taught me well..."

Hu Luxian was so frightened that he was sweating profusely, and he didn't dare to go forward to make noise anymore.

It's better not to be a horse rider than not to know, it's only by practicing himself that Yang Xiuzhi's flattering skills are at their peak.At this moment, Hu Luxian realized that what Liu Yishou said at the gate of the city, "There is a priority in learning the truth, and there is a specialization in art", which is indeed a wise saying.

If it is more than archery, he must be a leader in the army, but other things may not be so.Liu Yishou is no different than those mediocre masters, it is not so difficult to flatter him.

Hu Luxian has never seen anyone who is more powerful than Yang Xiuzhi, who can play different tricks without overturning.To some extent, this is considered a top-notch "skill" that cannot be learned by others.

Chapter 602 The Rise of the New Generation

It had just rained in Yecheng, and there was a bit of chill in the fresh air in the suburbs.Gao Yang's pro-army Baibao Xianbei is expanding the number of recruits here, planning to expand from the original 500 to 2000.

The selection of Baibao Xianbei is very strict. Unless they are extremely outstanding warriors, they will not be recruited from the civilians, but will be directly screened from the army, with one person as a hundred to enter, and the treatment is extremely generous.Far beyond the average elite soldiers.

At this moment, Cheng Xiuning, who is the governor of Baibao Xianbei, is demonstrating to the participants of the assessment.

Cheng Xiuning, who was tall and thick, took a deep breath and punched the thick wooden stick in front of him.

With just one punch, the stick was broken into two pieces!Those participating in the assessment who watched from the sidelines were all secretly stunned, unable to believe that there is such a powerful person.

"If you can do this, you will pass the first level."

Cheng Xiuning glanced across the crowd, everyone did not dare to look at him, and lowered their heads one after another, only a few people were eager to try, hoping to come forward and make gestures.

"My lord, let's start the assessment. If you can recruit a hundred, then you can recruit a hundred. If you can recruit a thousand, then you can recruit a thousand."

Cheng Xiuning cupped his hands and said to Gao Yang, who was watching from the side, he did not shy away from Duan Shao who was beside Gao Yang.

"Well, okay, let's start. How does Xiaoxian feel?"

Gao Yang asked Duan Shaodao.

"Brave strength is the foundation of a soldier. Naturally, those who choose soldiers will give priority to those with strength in martial arts. There is no problem with this son's request."

Duan Shao said very humbly.

Gao Yang nodded noncommittally, and said to Cheng Xiuning: "Let's start, you check it out, and I won't watch it."

"Please don't worry, my son! This subordinate will definitely get things done!"

Cheng Xiuning said very respectfully.

He is Gao Yang's confidant, not Gao Huan's confidant, Cheng Xiuning's eyes are secretly staring at Gao Huan when he will die!

Now Gao Huan's cronies and Gao Yang's cronies are already in two circles, and there is no overlap between them at all.

Many of Gao Yang's cronies hoped that Gao Huan would die sooner. Of course, this is also human nature.Gao Huan was not related to them, and they must be in power after Gao Huan's death. It's only normal to have such thoughts.

Unlike Gao Cheng, who is frivolous and invisible, although Gao Yang is young, his words are very important, and he can fulfill everything he has said, so he is very loyal and loyal.

As for Gao Huan... They are not appreciated by Gao Huan, so there is no use trying to please Gao Huan!

"Xiaoxian, you come with me, I have something I want to ask."

Gao Yang said to Duan Shao calmly, as for the selection of Baibao Xianbei, it was just a cover.Gao Yang is not very interested in such details, and people like Cheng Xiuning can handle things well.

"This way, my son, please."

Duan Shao understood, pointed to the pavilion not far away and said.

The two came to sit in the gazebo. Gao Yang screened back to the left and right, fixed his eyes on Duan Shao and said: "Xiaoxian (Duan Shao's word), tell me, is it very dangerous for King Gao to go south this time? If not, you You shouldn’t lose your military power because of persuasion, right?”

Gao Yang asked straight to the point.

"Alas, this matter is really hard to explain. Only those who have dealt with Liu Yishou can understand how powerful Liu Yishou is, and he can't explain it in a few words.

The general thought that if Liu Yishou personally commanded the south this time, it would be very difficult for King Gao to return to Yecheng safely. "

Duan Shao sighed and said that he had no confidence in Gao Huan going south this time.Based on Duan Shao's understanding of Gao Huan, if he doesn't break through the land of Henan this time, the other party will not return to the dynasty.

From the fact that Gao Huan left all the elites who attacked the grassland last time in Yecheng, it can be seen that this "Prime Minister Gao" intends to be serious.

And having said that, the land of Henan cannot be defended, so you can only choose one of the two.

Either the army will fight all the way to the Huaihe River, with the Huaihe River as the boundary.

Either maintain the border and stand still with Xingyang as a stronghold.

If you fight halfway and can't stick to it, then both the attacking side and the defending side will feel very uncomfortable, and you will have to deploy heavy troops in Henan to guard against each other.

"Is the situation really that bad?"

Gao Yang was playing with a white jade wrench repeatedly in his hand, and asked with a serious smile on his face as calm as water.

Although young, there is an invisible sense of oppression.

"Hui Shizi, it is true. Our foundation has always been in Hebei. Today's Henan is no longer our territory, and there is no way for the army to replenish it on the spot. Moreover, there are many rivers in Henan, and the Liang army and the navy have an advantage. And the mysterious firearms to help, I'm afraid it's... well, I don't know where the chances of victory lie."

Duan Shao sighed, he could no longer speak to Gao Huan, and if he expressed his opinion to Gao Yang now, it would be nothing more than complaining, and it would be of no use.

Seeing Gao Yang pondering, Duan Shao went on to say: "The last general told Gao Wang before that there must be 10 people this time. It is not alarmist. Henan is not blocked by mountains. The battle line is wide and the rivers are criss-crossing. It is necessary to have The troops can stick to the rear and alternately cover the attack.

This has nothing to do with whether the soldiers are elite or not, it is purely the first half of the sentence based on the coincidence and victory.

Even if the subordinates are elite, it is very dangerous to go deep alone.Gao Wang only led 5 people south this time, and his troops were too thin. "

People who don't know why will of course dismiss Duan Shao's "scaremongering" words, but if they have read the history book of Liu Yishou's previous life, they will know the depth of it.

Of course, you don't need to understand the truth, but the example is clearly there, and its existence is reasonable.

Gao Cheng attacked Changsha and led 20 troops.

Hou Jing was the governor of Henan Province, and he led the troops to the south with [-] troops.

Murong Shaozong went south to Henan to attack Hou Jing, leading [-] elite soldiers.

Xiao Yan ordered Xiao Yuanming to support Hou Jing in resisting the Eastern Wei Dynasty and lead [-] troops.

In the middle and late period of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, why did these people unanimously set the number of troops to go to Henan at [-], or even more than [-]?

Because in this place in Henan, whether you have elite soldiers or not, let’s not talk about it, but it’s really impossible to have a small number of troops!Even Chen Qingzhi's Northern Expedition deliberately avoided this area, and went directly to Suishui all the way to Xingyang.

He only wanted to reach Luoyang as soon as possible, and he didn't consider the issue of a stable front at all.

Duan Shao directly pointed out the biggest problem of Gao Huan's expedition this time: he had fewer troops and was not well prepared!

"Then what can be done to remedy it?"

Gao Yang asked softly, "Please teach me first."

Duan Shao knew that the other party would ask this question. Although Gao Yang was young, he was not an ignorant person, and he had already seen the disadvantages of Gao Huan's going south.Duan Shao was invited to have a private chat, not to hear Duan Shao point out the problem.

This is no different from Liu Yishou's previous life. The boss came to you in private, with a low profile appearance, definitely to hear your ideas, not to ask you to give pointers to the company's various affairs.
