Governor please stay

……

In Bafu's study, Tang Yong was fidgeting like a young daughter-in-law who just entered her mother-in-law's house.Sitting opposite Gao Huan, he was very stressed.

Tiger poison does not eat offspring, no matter how messed up Gao Cheng is in the palace, Gao Huan will not substantively punish Gao Cheng, after all, he is his eldest son.

But Tang Yong, a staff member of the bureau who belongs to the Tyrant Mansion, might not be so lucky.Gao Huan will punish them somewhat, which can be regarded as an explanation to the outside world.

"Tang Daohe, although you are young, you are quite courageous."

Gao Huan said seriously, without a trace of a smile on his face.

"Returning to Gao Wang, the matter is in a hurry, and the arrow is on the string and has to be fired."

Tang Yong bowed his hands and said.He was very certain in his heart that Gao Huan might punish him a little, but he would never kill him with one shot.

"I planned to send you to the border town, but for the sake of your advice for sending troops to Hedong, this king wants to hear what you think about the emperor's chaos in the palace."

Gao Huan paused and said.

Tang Yong couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief.

Sure enough, Gao Huan didn't really take that incident to heart.Even Gao Cheng's tossing around indirectly gave Gao Huan a lot of excuses to rectify the court and let him rule out dissidents in a reasonable way.

"Huang Gaowang, the subordinates are people in the Bafu, not the emperor. If there is a conflict between the Bafu and the emperor one day, it is natural to consider gains and losses from the perspective of the Bafu.

The conflict between the Son of Heaven and the Son of Heaven has already occurred and is irreversible, so how to win more benefits for the Overlord in this matter is what the subordinates should consider.

I think that if I endured the matter that day, it might encourage the emperor's arrogance.If Gao Wang dealt with this matter after the fact, he would easily fall into the shoes of others if there is no proof of his death.

It's better to lift the lid and make things bigger.The son of heaven has no virtue, if Gao Wang supports him in the throne, everything will be decided by Gao Wang.Taking a ten thousand step back, if one day Gao Wang feels that the emperor's virtue is not worthy of his place, if he changes the emperor, he will be able to get the support of all the officials. "

Tang Yong clearly analyzed the whole matter to Gao Huan.To put it simply, the more trash Yuan Xiu is, the more he is a hot chicken. Doesn't this make Gao Huan the pillar of the country?

Yuan Xiu's actions will only make all those who support the Yuan clan disillusioned and completely disappointed in Yuan clan.Disappointed with the Yuan family, isn't the chance for Gao Huan to proclaim himself emperor and replace him getting closer?

There are many things that can be seen without telling the truth. Tang Yong has said all that can be said.

Gao Huan looked at the burly but young Tang Yong, and was very satisfied.

This person is indeed a talent, in the midst of flashes and flints, he will not be chaotic in the face of danger, and choose the most beneficial method of execution for Gao Huan. I have to say that he is capable, responsible, and worthy of training.

"The emperor's chaos in the palace is a big scandal, so don't make it public. As for you mobilizing the soldiers and horses of the overlord's mansion under the guise of the king, it happened suddenly, and the past is not to blame. If there is a next time, you will be punished for several crimes, including this time. Go in. You back off."

Gao Huan waved his hand calmly, Tang Yong suppressed the joy in his heart, saluted Gao Huan respectfully and said goodbye.After he left, Gao Huan let out a long sigh of relief.

Gao Cheng, the son, really became more and more useless the more he looked at him, and he degenerated to the point of fighting with Yuan Xiu.If a dog bites a man, can a man bite a dog?What an out-of-image thing this is!

In Gao Huan's eyes, Liu Yishou's way of killing Hou Jingyin with a few words is what a real man does.Gao Cheng's handling of things is becoming more and more rough and outrageous now, and he doesn't have the calmness of the superiors at all.

With his appearance, will he be able to change dynasties in the future and control the military and political power?

Gao Huan couldn't help but put a question mark in his heart.

……

Standing on a high ground near Yubi Mountain, Wei Xiaokuan watched the conscripts build soil not far away, and some people transported the wood to the mound by hand, feeling anxious in his heart.

The speed of building the city is very slow, far slower than I imagined at the beginning!

There is a very simple truth, the more difficult a city is to be captured, the more dangerous its geographical location.And the geographical danger will inevitably bring about an exponential increase in the difficulty of building the city!

The construction of Yubi City is like this.

Now, the opening of the official road has been sealed.A city inlaid in the middle of the canyon rose from the ground, but this was not enough.This thing that looks like a "city" cannot be called a city.

It lacks many important functions, such as water intake, and the defense of the high platforms on the east and west sides.

Wei Xiaokuan opened the city defense map that he had drawn long ago, looked at the two high platforms in the distance, and imagined in his mind that two auxiliary cities would be built on the high platforms, and then connected to the city in the middle valley.

In this way, all the soldiers and horses in the city can support each other.

Of course, he thought well, but actually encountered great difficulties.The city that blocked the canyon was easy to build, and there was no obstacle to transporting materials on the flat ground.But how to transport the wood to the mound is a critical issue.

It's a pity that Wei Xiaokuan doesn't have the talent in this area, he can create something out of nothing, and he can only use the primitive method, let the peasants bring up the wood, and then use local materials on the mound to build the city!

"General Wei, my lord is urging the progress of Yubi City, how is the situation now?"

Changsun Jian quietly walked to Wei Xiaokuan's side and asked softly.

"As soon as possible, I have been non-stop day and night. But this kind of thing, you can't be in a hurry. It is simply that Gao Huan has not sent troops to attack here. If Gao Huan's people come to attack now, it is not a joke to waste all previous efforts."

Wei Xiaokuan sighed, the only good news now is that Gao Huan is still calm.

"General Wei, the purpose of building this city is not only to block Gao Huan, but also to have a showdown with those big families in the east of the river. It's a matter of one thousand and ten thousand. This matter should not be taken lightly. Please take care of General Wei."

Changsun Jian said with emotion.Now this city is almost related to the life and death of the forces in Guanzhong.One place leads everywhere, this juncture has passed, and the road ahead will be easy.He Bayue would send someone to inquire almost every other day.

"It's up to man to plan and make things up to heaven. Whether it will be successful or not now depends on whether Gao Huan will give face or not. Do your best to know the destiny."

Wei Xiaokuan said helplessly.

Chapter 475

Gao Aocao had received Gao Huan's order to retreat, but he didn't leave immediately.It's not that he didn't want to leave, but he was worried that he would be pursued, and he didn't want to withdraw to Yecheng too early.

The terrain on Xuzhou's side, the factor that determines the geographical advantages of the north and south sides is only water.

From spring to late autumn, there is water in the river, and it is the world in the south.The water army can transport troops through Huze and cut off the retreat of the northern army by surprise. It can even imitate Liu Yu's back-to-back formation and use the bed crossbow on the boat to support the ground battle.The cavalry in the north can't go into the water, and they will be living targets on the shore.

And when the river freezes in winter, it is the world in the north.Gao Aocao had a lot of cavalry in his hands, and the north of Pengcheng was full of swamps and lakes.In winter, it will freeze, like walking on flat ground.At that time, the cavalry can be fully deployed, and it is no problem to attack in a roundabout way.

At this time, ships from the south could not pass on the ice.

If you retreat from Xuzhou, where the water network is densely covered, with a large number of cavalry, it will undoubtedly be a logistical nightmare.Gao Aocao saw this, so he stood still.

Of course, he was also on guard against Gao Huan.Gao Huan's military order is right after listening to half of it.If he obeyed his words, he would die without knowing how he died.

Gao Aocao sent someone to discuss with Yaoxiong, who was guarding the north of Xiapi, and the other party also thought that there would be no worries about retreating after winter.If you leave the field early now, you will lose the built camp and defense line.

The navy in the south is very strong, and their team of mixed infantry and cavalry wants to retreat to the front line of Rencheng. It's really hard to explain without losing a piece of meat.Most of the northern expeditions in the Southern Dynasties were played in this way.

That night, Gao Jishi, who went out to investigate with some cavalry, hurried back from the west and reported an important military situation to Gao Aocao!

"Fourth brother, can you see clearly?"

Gao Aocao asked in a deep voice.

Xiao County to the west of Pengcheng is the extreme edge of the Liang army's defense line. Now Wu Mingche is leading troops to guard, while Yu Wentai is guarding Pengcheng.Gao Jishi saw that Liang Jun had a support force, numbering no more than 6000 to [-], but they entered Xiao County with a large amount of baggage.

If it weren't for the lack of mobile troops in hand, Gao Jishi would have planned to chug this army that was unloading at the ferry, because the opponent looked like an auxiliary soldier transporting food.

"Reinforce Xiao County... I don't understand."

Gao Aocao had a strange look on his face, and he didn't understand the purpose of Liang Jun's reinforcement of Xiao County at this time.At this time, shouldn't we attack Suiyang first, and then attack Rencheng and other places in the east by water, and make dumplings for the Wei army in Xuzhou?

Xiao County itself is confronting the front line, and adding troops here is just to reinforce the defense line, what can be of great use?

"You go and tell the second brother (Gao Shen) that it is good to be cautious and defend, there is no need to worry."

Gao Aocao waved his hand and said indifferently.Gao Shen was stationed at the camp on the other side of the Xiaoxian River, there was no movement there all the time, but Pengcheng and Xiapi fought fierce battles several times.

Now many redundant county soldiers have retreated to Rencheng, and the Wei army is unable to launch an attack. It is the top priority to dodge after the river freezes in winter.

"Brother, does Liang Jun have any conspiracy?"

Gao Ji asked cautiously.The third brother Gao Aocao has a bad temper, but he often scolded Gao Jishi.

"What can they do to us? The current situation is that they can do nothing to us, and we can do nothing to them. The large-scale dispatch of Liang Jun's fleet will not be done quietly.

As long as Suiyang in the northeast is still in our hands, there will be no worries about retreat. "

Gao Aocao said confidently.

Why Chen Qingzhi's first battle in the Northern Expedition was Suiyang? In fact, there is no need to explain too much. The geography of Lianghuai, Qingxu and other places are all open-book exams, which are clearly placed there.

The same problems that Chen Qingzhi faced at the beginning were also faced by Liu Yishou.The reason why the north faced the south's Northern Expedition was confident, because it was a bet on whether the opponent could hit Luoyang and hit the south bank of the Yellow River in one go.

If you can fight it, you will change the world, if you can't fight it, it will be a child's play, and the army in the south will return to Lianghuai sooner or later.

In the past few years, Gao Aocao has grown a lot, at least he knows to use his brain to fight.Many generals, as long as he is allowed to lead an army alone, he will grow up quickly, and Gao Aocao is such a person.

"Okay brother, I'll go to the second brother's side now."

Gao Jishi bid farewell and left the tent without stopping.

If the enemy attacked violently, then according to the established retreat strategy, Gao Aocao would lead his troops to retreat along Heshui to Guting City, and then decide how to act according to the Liang army's offensive, and then decide whether to continue to retreat to Rencheng.

Yaoxiong, who is opposite Xiapi City, will lead his troops to retreat along Yishui to the vicinity of Jiqiu (Linyi, Shandong).Of course, people will definitely be chased and beaten along the way, and loss of troops will be inevitable.

But these are affordable costs.

However, after Gao Jishi left, Gao Aocao was fidgeting in the camp, always feeling as if he had overlooked some key issue.After thinking hard for an hour, it was already midnight, but he still didn't understand why.

After all, Chen Qingzhi's style of play is not the mainstream, and Liu Yishou is not Chen Qingzhi, right?

Gao Aocao comforted himself in his heart and said.

……

"His Royal Highness, why did you come to Xiao County?"

Seeing Liu Yishou entering Xiao County with a large amount of luggage, Wu Mingche asked flatteredly.

To be honest, there is no possibility of "roundabout assault" Wei Jun here.Detours are not such a detour, Wu Mingche did not mention this, because he knew that Liu Yishou must be a man who knows how to fight, and he even played it very smoothly.

"Wei Jun will retreat in winter. Before they leave, I need to get some interest back."

Liu Yishou waved his hands indifferently, and said calmly.

Wu Mingche immediately felt relieved, he was really worried that Liu Yishou had always won battles before, and now he was so complacent that he insisted on sending troops by force.

"How many soldiers are available?"

Just when Wu Mingche was about to speak politely, Liu Yishou asked abruptly.

"There are less than a thousand elite soldiers, and the rest are county soldiers. It's okay to defend the city, but it must not be transferred out of the city."

Wu Mingche said very seriously.

Why can't the county soldiers be used as elite soldiers and try not to participate in field battles?Because they were recruited temporarily, the military training time is very short, and the technical and tactical level is impossible to talk about.

Among other things, the queue may not be clear when fighting.When defending the city, these shortcomings will be covered up, and they will be fully exposed in the wild.

The reason why Yuwentai couldn't play tricks on Qingxu's side was because there were too few elite soldiers in his hands.If it weren't for a smooth battle, the county soldiers couldn't get out of the city at all.

"The elite soldiers guard the city, and the rest of the county soldiers follow me to attack and carry the luggage."

Liu Yishou said thoughtfully.

"Wu Wang can't!"

Wu Mingche was so frightened that his ghosts froze. What Liu Yishou wanted to play now was any different from committing suicide?

"Don't worry, it's just killing chickens, just let those county soldiers help move things. After all, the elite soldiers under my command still have to save their strength to kill the enemy."

Liu Yishou spoke very easily. Seeing Wu Mingche's unbelievable appearance, he lowered his voice and continued, "There is a secret weapon. You follow me on the expedition and just watch from the sidelines."

After talking about this, Wu Mingche obviously has nothing to say.

"The time with me is not too short, can I harm you?"

Liu Yishou patted Wu Mingche's shoulder vigorously and said.

"Then the general will go out with the King of Wu."

Wu Mingche nodded slightly and said.

"Open the warehouse today, let all the soldiers open their mouths to eat, and start at dawn tomorrow."

Liu Yishou inquired about the details of Qingxu's previous battle, and learned that the Wei army had already shrunk the line of defense, removed the county soldiers who were in the way, and made it clear that they planned to run away once the river channel entered winter.

To put it bluntly, most of the front lines where Liang Jun and Wei Jun are confronting each other here in Xuzhou are deserters, and no one wants to fight anymore.

And Liu Yishou came here to give Wei Jun a wave of "surprises".

……

In the Wei army camp north of Xiao County, Gao Shen didn't care about the information sent by Gao Jishi, but it was just a team of Liang Jun transporting luggage, so what's the point?

Ships coming from the west unloaded at Xiaoxian Ferry, and then carried the supplies into the city, whatever it was!

Gao's hometown is Xindu, Hebei, and he has sent troops for more than half a year, and now the soldiers under his command are all homesick.Gao Shen drank in the camp every day, and there was no movement from Liang Jun for a long time, which also made him and his soldiers lose their vigilance.

In addition, Gao Huan's transfer order had already been issued, everyone in the camp from Gao Shen down was thinking about what to do after returning to Hebei, and did not consider the current situation of the battle at all.

In the early morning of this day, the scouts reported to Gao Shen that the Liang army in Xiao County had already left the city and was forming an array outside the city, as if posing for a decisive battle.
