Governor please stay

He came this time to make military achievements, not to share the joys and sorrows with the soldiers.Swords have no eyes on the battlefield. Could it be that he is Gao Huan's eldest son, the successor of the power, those arrows will avoid him, and those ferocious enemies will stay away from him?

Gao Cheng is still very confident in his heart, knowing where he is capable.Now is not the time to be a hero.

Seeing Gao Cheng's knowledge and interest, Gao Yue nodded in relief and said: "In Qiluo City, the prince can do what he wants, but he must not go out of the city. You must not mix in the army to fight. You must not."

Gao Yue persuaded again and again.

"Uncle Clan, don't worry, even if we want to fight together, my nephew will definitely make an agreement with Uncle Clan first, and will never act without authorization."

Gao Cheng promised solemnly.

This is also his true thought, because he only needs to mess around with military achievements in the end.Unless it is an opportunity to beat the dog in the water, Gao Cheng will never follow Gao Yue to send troops!

"So, then I will let the prince settle down in the city. If there is anything, the prince will send someone to notify me."

Gao Yue heaved a sigh of relief. There are two major elements of anxiety in this expedition. One is that the generals will not accept the management and act without authorization; up.

So far, everything looks fine.

"Clan uncle, go slowly."

After sending Gao Yue away, Gao Cheng sat down slowly, his face could not hide his joy.

"My lord, why don't we take a good rest in the city, wait until the battle is over, and then..."

Zu Ting squinted his eyes and lowered his voice to suggest.

"That's right, that's exactly what I mean!"

Gao Cheng clenched his fists and said.

……

Shangdang County, Huguan City.

Gao Huan has already received many letters from Yecheng.There are those from Lou Zhaojun, those from Sun Teng, and those from trusted generals like Dou Tai.After reading these letters, he became one head and two adults.

Since leading troops into Jinzhou, the war situation that was on the verge of collapse was quickly reversed.Gao Huan's army quickly regained Tunliu, Xiangyuan and other places that were close at hand.Recently, the situation has been stabilized. After Duan Shao arrived with reinforcements, he continued to recover Wu Township, Nie County and other places in the north.

The next step is to attack Qi County, the southern gateway of Jinyang.

Gao Huan could clearly feel that although Er Zhurong's army was still fighting ferociously, it already showed a "lack of stamina" attitude.

This is not Gao Huan's illusion, but all the generals under his command who have fought against him on the front line will feel this way.According to the normal situation in the past, after Er Zhurong's soldiers captured these places, they would never be simply recaptured by Gao Huan's soldiers.

It was actually expected by Gao Huan that such a thing happened.After all, although Er Zhurong is good at fighting, he is not good at managing territory. He has seen this clearly a long time ago.Time is on his side, Er Zhurong will become weaker the longer he is delayed, there is no doubt about it.

"Xiaoxian (duan Shaobiao), what do you think?"

In the study, Gao Huan actually gave Duan Shao all the letters except for Lou Zhaojun.This is an incredible trust.

Obviously, Gao Huan is consciously cultivating Gao Cheng's cronies.Unlike Liu Yishou, who is in his 20s, Gao Huan doesn't need to think about succession for the time being.

He is now 40 years old, and he is already a little worried about the problems of future generations. After all, countless emperors of the Yuan family died before the age of 40.

"King Gao, the general thinks that it is inconvenient to withdraw the troops back to Yecheng because of the right time, place and conditions to send troops to Qi County. As for the generals in Yecheng, the general will not comment."

After reading the letter, Duan Shao saluted Gao Huan respectfully.

Lou Zhaojun's letter had explained the matter clearly, but Gao Huan still wanted to take the exam for Duan Shao, so he didn't show it to Duan Shao.

"how do I say this?"

"Er Zhurong's successor is weak, they are worried about spring plowing, but we don't have to worry about our sufficient food and grass. When the spring is warm and the flowers are blooming, Er Zhurong's soldiers and horses will definitely have no will to fight.

The harvest was poor last year, and if there is another famine this year, Er Zhurong probably has to leave Jinyang and go to the grasslands to eat.Now is the time to send troops. "

Duan Shao thought for a while and continued: "King Gao should pursue Er Zhurong fiercely. As for the matter of Nanyang, one military order will follow. If anyone disobeys will be dealt with severely, I believe it will not be difficult to deal with it. Nanyang is located at a crucial point. Like a sore under the arm, it’s not okay to ignore it.”

Gao Huan nodded slightly, without saying anything, but in his heart he acquiesced to Duan Shao's statement.

The battle situation in Bingzhou and Sizhou has now reached a critical moment of overall reversal. If Er Zhurong loses again, I am afraid that he will never have the capital to make a comeback.If you retreat at this time, everything will be over.

"Attack Qi County, do you have any ideas?"

Qi County is the easternmost section of Xihe County, and it is also the territory that Gao Huan agreed with He Bayue at the beginning, and he should get it.Of course, now that He Bayue has blatantly tore up the "covenant", Gao Huan naturally doesn't have to be polite.

"After taking Xihe County, Hedong and Jinyang have been separated. We can send troops south from Qixian County, attack Hedong, and capture Yanchi.

Even if Er Zhurong is worried about Jinyang, it will be difficult to prevent us from conquering the east of the river.As for Jinyang, the city is tall and easy to defend but difficult to attack.Now there is no condition to conquer Jinyang, so the general thought that it could be taken slowly.

First sweep away the outskirts of Jinyang and conquer Hedong, then we can withdraw our troops and recuperate. "

Duan Shao was afraid that Gao Huan would not understand, so he made gestures on the table.

"Yes, this plan won my heart."

Gao Huan nodded slowly, letting go of the stone in his heart.

In fact, he had already ordered someone to issue a military order to Yecheng, severely reprimanded Dou Tai and others for caring about their personal affairs and disregarding public affairs, and ordered them to follow Gao Yue's order to send troops.As for Gao Cheng as the supervisor of the army, Gao Huan also readily agreed, and did not think that there was anything wrong with Lou Zhaojun's move.

If Gao Cheng is not gilded in the army, how will he succeed in the future?This is a very serious political issue, and it does not mean that he should not be allowed to participate in the danger of war.

Regarding these, Gao Huan took a very open view. The so-called life and death depend on fate, wealth and honor. When you have destiny, you are like Xiaoqiang who can't be beaten to death.

If God wants you to die, you can be stabbed to death by the cook every time you eat. There is no solution to these accidents. If you hide it and prevent Gao Cheng from participating in the training, you are harming him.

"If that's the case, send troops to Qi County in three days, and you will be the vanguard."

Gao Huan patted Duan Shao on the shoulder with a smile and said.

……

"My lord, the Daxi Military Department abandoned Xinye and moved to Tunza, Deng County. The grain and grass in Xinye are also being transferred."

Seeing that Liu Yishou was writing, Wang Wei put the battle report on the table and said softly.

"How?"

Liu Yishou asked without raising his head.

"The turbulent water froze, and Da Xiwu ordered people to load the grain into trucks and transport it to Deng County."

On land, Deng County is even more detoured from Hanzhong.But it doesn't look like that from the waterway.As long as the spring is warm and the flowers bloom, they can be sent to Nanxiang through the rivers covered with water networks, directly skipping the two counties of Guangping and Yicheng adjacent to the west of Xiangyang.

The people in Guanzhong really came here for the grain and grass in Nanyang. Food comes first and land comes second. Their purpose is very clear.

Da Xiwu...or simply Wei Xiaokuan, after so many manipulations, his thoughts are not without deep thoughts!

"The delivery of food is true, and the transfer of troops is false. Wei Xiaokuan's frivolity is a bit interesting."

Liu Yishou stopped writing, couldn't help sighing with emotion, and cursed at the other party's little coin in his heart!

"My lord, do you mean that the opponent's soldiers are still in Xinye?"

Wang Wei asked suspiciously.According to the reports from the scouts, there are no guards on the walls of Xinye City, and the south gate facing Xiangyang has not been opened for a long time!

"If we want to attack Wancheng, Xinye is the gateway, and they will block the route of sending troops from Xiangyang. The Guanzhong side has always been worried about us and tried every means to lure us into the game.

Once we enter the game, the situation will be chaotic, and then they can take advantage of the fire. "

Regarding Wei Xiaokuan's plan, Liu Yishou already had a general outline based on all the information he had heard.This guy has been dishonest, using various routines.

"However, our scouts saw the soldiers and horses of the brigade moving from Xinye to Deng County!"

Wang Wei didn't quite understand Liu Yishou's point of view.

Hearing this, Liu Yishou sighed leisurely.Wei Xiaokuan's simple routine really confuses some people.He took out a bag of copper plates from his cuff, which was a model of newly minted copper coins in Xiangyang City, and it looked very exquisite.

"The authorities are obsessed, this trick is actually very simple."

Liu Yishou piled the copper coins to one side, then moved them to the other side and said, "In the first step, all the soldiers and horses arrived in Deng County, but the food did not go. That is what our scouts saw."

Afterwards, he moved several of them to the other side and said: "A group of soldiers and horses dragged the grain truck from Deng County to Xinye, after loading the grain."

The two copper coins are moved back to the original pile of copper coins.

"Then send a small number of soldiers and horses to transport the grain from Xinye to Deng County."

"In this way, in the end, all the people and horses have arrived in Xinye, and all the food and grass have arrived in Deng County. Do you understand this?"

Seeing Liu Yishou finished the demonstration, Wang Wei suddenly realized.Wei Xiaokuan wanted to create an illusion that "people and food are all in Deng County", and lure Liu Yishou to send troops to Xinye to "take advantage of the vacancy".

"Just let them play with Gao Huan's brains, we do what we have to do. I have already given instructions on how to act, so don't worry about these things."

After Liu Yishou waited for the ink on the letter to dry, he handed it to Wang Wei and said, "Just send anyone to Xinye. Don't say anything. It's better to send a dumb person."

Chapter 438 The Prince of the Attack

There is still Zheyang City between Wancheng and Ye County, and Cui Shiqian's younger brother Cui Xi is currently defending.After Gao Huan's soldiers arrived, Wei Xiaokuan broke through from Ye County and returned to Xinye.She Digan led the army and drove straight to the south, fighting all the way to Zheyang City before being repelled by Cui Xi.

This kind of battle situation was in everyone's expectation, and there was no accident.

Cui Shiqian immediately contacted Da Xiwu, suggesting that he transfer to Deng County.When the latter readily agreed, he made some incomprehensible "show operations".

In the lobby of the government office in Xinye City, Da Xiwu could no longer bear the so-called "tactics" that were repeatedly tricked but had no effect.He has given Wei Xiaokuan the utmost respect, but the other party's ideas are basically aimed at Liang Guo in the south.

Da Xiwu felt that Wei Xiaokuan didn't understand the situation, but the point was that his bad ideas had no effect at all.

Now that Gao Huan's army of soldiers and horses is overwhelming, he can no longer listen to Wei Xiaokuan's words and behave like before.

"General Wei, you are talking about transporting food in batches, transferring troops and horses, luring the Liang army into the game, and winning in the chaos. Now that we don't light fires in Xinye City, why haven't we seen Liu Yishou's troops?"

Da Xiwu asked in a bad tone. There were only the two of them in the lobby. Not only was the temperature very low, but the atmosphere of the conversation was also very cold.

"Why this happened, I don't know. But one thing is very clear. If Liang Jun doesn't enter the game, they will be like yellow birds and firmly grasp the initiative. As for why Liu Yishou has not moved until now, this..."

Wei Xiaokuan, who has always been conceited and eloquent, is also a little at a loss for words. He has shown amazing military talent since he was a child, especially good at the art of war, and thinks highly of himself.

According to his speculation, now that Gao Huan is here, Xinye's defense is empty, and food and grass are stationed in Dengzhou.Isn't this the time to send troops?

Liu Yishou is an old man who fought, why should he choose between Dengzhou and Xinye, and fight one at will?If you hit the next one, you will get a ticket to compete for Nanyang.

The result was good, the one in the south seemed to be asleep.People don't know whether this Liu Dudu can't understand, or he can hold his breath.

Da Xiwu's mind is relatively straight, with less twists and turns, but Wei Xiaokuan thinks far away.

Nanyang is in the cracks of various forces, and it is easy to attack and difficult to defend.As long as there are heavy troops in hand, there is no problem in concentrating our forces to conquer Nanyang.The difficulty lies not in attacking, but how to defend after capturing.

Of course, there are many ways to defend. Sending more troops to garrison is one of the ways, and it is also the most stupid and costly way.

It is also a way to build docks and guard them in different areas, but they are also based on strong troops.

Gao Huan might be able to afford it, Liang Guo might be able to afford it, but He Bayue definitely can't afford it!

Guanzhong is poor and weak, and there are also Hu people in the north.With limited soldiers and horses, the future way out is on the east line of the river, so it is obviously not possible to garrison Nanyang with heavy troops.

Doing what others can't do is what famous generals and marshals do.Wei Xiaokuan's method is very simple, that is to use up the elite soldiers of Liang Guo and Gao Huan through the melee in Nanyang.After the war, not only can one side control Nanyang, even a part of it, but it also hurts the vitality of the other two parties, making it impossible to use troops against Nanyang.

Gaining time is the greatest victory!

This kind of strategic depth is obviously beyond the reach of Da Xiwu's muscular mind.

Brothers Hou Mo, Chen Shun and Hou Mo, Chen Chong led troops to station in Hanzhong, they were beyond their reach, Guanzhong had no more troops to dispatch, to be honest, Wei Xiaokuan wanted to leave now!

"Forget it, now is not the time to pursue these things. I think we can evacuate Xinye."

Da Xiwu waved his hand impatiently and said.Cui Xi was already fighting in front, if they didn't enter Deng County to defend, Cui Shiqian would really blow up.

"So, that's fine."

Wei Xiaokuan sighed, Liu Yishou was not tricked, and it will not be easy to try to trick him later.Wei Xiaokuan understands very well that this is the disadvantage of not being the general, not to mention that he has to cooperate with the Cui brothers to fight Gao Huan, the difficulty is not all on the battlefield.

At this moment, a scout rushed in, clasped his fists and said to Da Xiwu: "General, Gao Huan's troops have dispatched and are already attacking Zheyang City!"

Sure enough!

"Can you help?"

Da Xiwu looked at Wei Xiaokuan and asked.

"Of course we need to be rescued, but it's best to send someone to tell Cui Shiqian that Zheyang can't be defended, and let them retreat to Wancheng. We will lead our troops into Deng County and set up camp on the west bank of the Baihe River, so that we can fight with Gao Huan's troops stalemate."

It seems that Xinye has to be abandoned.

Wei Xiaokuan sighed quietly, deeply regretting that this wave failed to lure Liu Yishou into the game.War is like this. It depends not only on how you operate, but also on the enemy's coping ability. Mistakes are relative.

Is it really good to just leave hidden dangers like this?His heart was heavy, and he had a vague premonition that the future was not good.

……

When Wei Xiaokuan and others plotted against Liu Yishou, the governor who had entered Jiankang and was named king of Wu was not idle.But his busyness was completely different from what the enemy had expected, full of inexplicable and profound aura.

In the early morning of this day, the south gate of Xiangyang City was opened wide. Teams of soldiers, wearing thin military uniforms and carrying nothing, ran in the cold wind. The destination was Yicheng in the south of Xiangyang, less than a hundred miles away from Xiangyang City. .

"Run! Run! Don't stop!"
