Governor please stay

Chapter 447 Who is the Big Clever

"What, the prince has come to Zheyang?"

In the signing room at the head of Zheyang city, Gao Yue, who was checking the map, was slightly surprised when his cronies reported that Gao Cheng and Zu Ting had entered the city quietly.

Before, he had heard that Gao Cheng was doing mischief in Rencheng of Qingzhou. He had an accident during a night out with all the bankers, and was beaten by the bitter master and even killed someone.

In fact, Gao Yue doesn't care about these things, it doesn't matter how Gao Cheng makes trouble, he is just a dude.Who hasn't been frivolous when young?Gao Aocao's eldest brother, Gao Gan, was still robbing brides when he was young, and he was still having sex on the roadside.

Gao Yue felt that as long as Gao Cheng didn't get in the way and didn't meddle in military affairs, then everything was easy to talk about, and he was free to mess with the girls in Qiluo City as he wanted.

Unexpectedly, this guy was restless and came running to Zheyang!

"Back to the general, it is true. But they came quietly, and most people in the army don't know it yet."

The soldier said cautiously.

Gao Yue was full of anger and was inconvenient to attack, his face was gloomy, and finally turned into a sigh.Who told Gao Cheng to be Gao Huan's son, so what can be done?
Accompanied by their personal guards, Gao Cheng and Zu Ting came to the front line, namely Zheyang City.It is light and simple, and basically kept in a state of secrecy.They were all here, and Gao Yue couldn't drive them away. As a last resort, he had to lure Gao Cheng and others to a courtyard provided by a rich family in Zheyang City, and enter the wing room for a secret talk.

"My son, the soldiers are fierce and the war is dangerous, and Zheyang City is not absolutely safe. Why do you want to come to the front line? If something happens to your son, how can I explain it to King Gao?"

Gao Yue said with drooping face, extremely helpless.If possible, he would like to kneel down to this master.

"Uncle has misunderstood. The so-called seeking affairs in his position, my nephew is now also in charge of the army. I heard that the generals will not obey orders and refuse to build a city on the west bank of the Baihe River, so I came to Zheyang City specially to help my uncle."

Gao Cheng said with a smile.

Youdao is better spoken than sung, Gao Cheng's words are repeated and beaten, but it seems that he is speaking righteously, but Gao Yue is unreasonable.

Gao Cheng's words definitely hold water on the surface.But for many things, the problem is not the rules on the surface, but many "hidden rules" that cannot be stated or made public.

For example, with Gao Cheng's qualifications, how can he take up the post of "Supervisor"?Here is the unspoken rule at work.So although Gao Cheng's words sound nice, in Gao Yue's view, they are just polite.Means nothing.

"I'll take care of these things myself, so you don't have to worry about it. This battle is definitely not something that can be fought in a day or two. It is precisely because of this that I strongly advocate building a city on the west bank of the Baihe River, step by step, and interfere with the Nanyang defenders. Military spirit."

Gao Yue said in a deep voice.

Now sending troops from Zheyang to Wancheng, the advantage is that the Baihe River is frozen to death, which is useless.Send troops at this time, cut through the mess quickly, fight quickly, and end the battle quickly, so as to minimize losses.

However, She Diqian's plan has a lot of flaws.That is, once Wancheng cannot be conquered, it will be difficult to gather the army if it is defeated.If he was chased by the enemy, he would probably die a miserable death.Judging from the current number and state of troops under He Bayue and Cui Shiqian's command, the probability of such a thing happening is not small.

Although building a city on the west bank of the Baihe River is a bit tame, it can minimize the risk of fighting.In view of the dead spot of spring plowing, it is a wise move to do so.

In winter, the Baihe River froze, and building a new small city on the west bank didn't seem to have any effect, because the river could be crossed on the ice at any time.But if the ice surface melts, then the temporary small city built by the river will play a pivotal role.A pontoon bridge can be erected just outside the door, and it is easy to cross the river by surprise.

Therefore, it is impossible to judge Gao Yue's idea simply and rudely, nor can it be said that She Digan is fooling around.Each has its own ideas, and each has its own advantages. It just depends on what strategy is needed when fighting a war, and adopts which strategy.

"Uncle Clan is offended by saying that. Although I am the supervisor, I am also a family with Uncle Clan. This time Uncle Clan is the main general. As the military supervisor, it is only natural for me to support Uncle Clan. How about this, I Go and persuade the generals to build a city on the bank of the river, that's the decision."

Gao Cheng said with a smile, how could he let go of such a good opportunity!
On weekdays, Gao Huan was very concerned about military power, and he didn't allow anyone to get involved, even Gao Yue and others, military power was actually strictly restricted by Gao Huan.

As for Gao Cheng, he couldn't even touch the door, and felt that he had nothing to do with life.Now that he can finally stretch out his paws to things that he couldn't touch at all before, it would be a lie if he wasn't excited.

"How do you persuade?"

Gao Yue asked suspiciously.He didn't believe that a bad-tempered guy like She Digan would give Gao Cheng face.

"My nephew has his own plan."

Gao Cheng said confidently.

"Then let's give it a try."

Gao Yue nodded slightly and said, now there is no way to recruit, people in Zheyang City quarrel almost every day, and there is no conclusion, but all kinds of cursing words are sprayed out, and it is not a solution to continue like this.

A few days later, Gao Yue convened another meeting to discuss countermeasures. She Digan and others were noncommittal about his idea of ​​building a city by the river, which was tantamount to acquiescing.Gao Yue didn't know how Gao Cheng tried to persuade him, anyway, the matter was settled like this.

Cannibals are short-mouthed and soft-handed.Gao Cheng did Gao Yue a great favor, and Gao Yue was embarrassed to drive Gao Cheng back to Qiluo City.Gathering all the soldiers and horses to set off, Gao Yue once again ordered Gao Cheng to never leave Zheyang City, and never go to build the city with the army.

Gao Yue kindly threatened that if Gao Cheng refused to stay in Zheyang, then he would have no choice but to write a letter to Lou Zhaojun, and then send Gao Cheng back to Yecheng.

Having said all of this, Gao Cheng had no choice but to follow Gao Yue's advice, stay in Zheyang honestly, and then quietly wait for the opportunity to "golden".

He feels that everything is going well so far, even a little beyond imagination.Flying dragon riding face, it is impossible to lose.

……

Wei Xiaokuan may feel that his reputation is not obvious, he is a figure hiding behind the scenes, and Liu Yishou will not notice at all.At least until Liu Yishou suffers a big loss, he will not notice, this is also human nature.

However, what he doesn't know is that only coins know coins best, and only old foxes are most afraid of old foxes.Although Wei Xiaokuan, an old coin with a "brilliant record" in the history of his previous life, is still very "pink", Liu Yishou dare not take him lightly.

When he was free, Liu Yishou buried himself in the study and copied the map of Nanyang area by himself, and then marked it in his own way.He also installed a huge wooden board on the wall of his study, and then drew two horizontal and vertical lines on the wooden board, dividing the whole wooden board into four parts.

One day, Wang Wei went to the study to discuss military affairs with Liu Yishou, and saw densely written words on the wooden boards on the wall.Liu Yishou looked at the wooden board intently, seemed to understand something, and nodded while talking to himself.

The upper left part of the board reads: urgent and important; the upper right part reads: urgent but not important; the lower left part reads: not urgent but important; the lower right part reads: neither urgent nor important.

Each section writes items one by one.

Wang Wei took a closer look. He thought that these were related to his own military affairs, but he didn't expect that it was not the case at all.If I really want to say, from the standpoint of He Bayue and his gang, which things are important and which things are not.

Urgent and important: Grain transported back to Guanzhong.Urgent but not important: attack Hedong and take advantage of the fire to rob Er Zhurong.Not urgent but important: Raid Nanyang and defeat Gao Huan's army.Neither urgent nor important: Eliminate or subdue Choi.

There are many details written on each piece, and there are a lot of them, which makes people dazzled.

"My lord, what is this?"

Wang Wei asked doubtfully, he probably understood, but he didn't understand what Liu Yishou wanted to do.

"I was thinking, what do those people in Guanzhong want? Have you noticed that this time they sent troops, instead of taking the Wuguan Road, they took the Hanzhong Waterway. Then why didn't they go directly from Chang'an to Wuguan Woolen cloth?"

Liu Yishou crossed his arms, looked at Wang Wei and asked.

"Because their soldiers and horses have already attacked Hanzhong. There are no soldiers in Guanzhong, so naturally it is impossible to send troops to Wuguan."

Wang Wei said thoughtfully.

"Look, that's right."

Liu Yishou sighed and said: "To be honest, from Luoyang to Jiankang. Although we have encountered many difficulties along the way, there is only one thing that we have not encountered, and that is starvation.

Whether we left Luoyang, went to Hebei, and finally went to Shouyang, we had food and grass in our hands, so we couldn't understand what would happen to He Bayue and his gang when they were so hungry. "

Wang Wei is silent, this is obviously the fact, there is nothing to say.

"So we always think that fighting for land is the first priority, and we can't help but think so. But in the eyes of He Bayue and his gang, getting food is the top priority. Nanyang won't run away if it's there, and it doesn't matter if it's late or early. .”

Liu Yishou sighed. He was almost fooled. Fortunately, he had in-depth exchanges with the soldiers at the bottom during the "Military Games", which broadened his horizons a lot.When he came back, he started to analyze. If the way is right, there will be no problems, and he will soon come to a clear conclusion.

"Wei Xiaokuan and the others came from Hanzhong, but they don't have to return to Hanzhong. There is a shorter road, which is Wuguan Road. There are two advantages to taking this road."

"My lord is saying..." Wang Wei was not familiar with the terrain of Nanyang, but he knew roughly what was going on. After Liu Yishou mentioned something, he instantly understood the plan of Wei Xiaokuan and his gang.

"Deng County is very close to Nanxiang, and Nanxiang is on the edge of Danshui. Danshui can go upstream to a place very close to Wuguan. Ships are unloaded there, and then transported to Wuguan by land. When the time comes He Bayue at Wuguan will send people to meet Wei Xiaokuan and the others.

I have never understood what Wei Xiaokuan meant by transporting grain from Xinye to Deng County. It is said that going to Hanzhong from Xinye is closer.It wasn't until I figured out their ways that I realized it. "

Liu Yishou took a deep breath, Wei Xiaokuan really has too many routines.A strategy of transporting food and changing troops concealed his true intentions.Not only was he plotting against Liu Yishou, but he also finished his real mission.

"Didn't my lord just say two? Is there another one?"

"Another one is that Xinye goes to Hanzhong through two counties that we can easily control, that is, the two counties in the upper reaches of the Han River in Xiangyang. If you take the Wuguan Road, you will avoid it directly. We will secretly capture those two counties. Unprepared counties can't stop them from transporting Nanyang's grain back to Guanzhong."

"This is really amazing."

Wang Wei couldn't help but sigh with emotion.It is conceivable that Wei Xiaokuan and others may not really care much about the life and death of the Cui brothers.The wooden board on the wall has been analyzed very clearly.

For the people in Guanzhong, the land in Nanyang is an "important but not urgent" matter, suitable for long-term investment.

"However, now that the lord has uncovered their plan, this trick is meaningless after all."

Wang Wei said with a sigh.

These days, there are no mobile phones and no Internet, and information is asymmetric and opaque.Sometimes the success of a strategy depends only on whether you really understand the opponent's movements and ideas.

Many so-called conspiracies, if the opponent predicts you in advance, it is worthless to put it bluntly.

"Send an order to Dugu Xin to lead troops to attack Guangping County and Shiping County! Let Wei Xiaokuan and his gang see that we are very serious about recovering the Hanshui Corridor. Starting today, the Han River will be blocked, and no grain will be allowed. Transported from the Han River to Hanzhong!"

Liu Yishou said with a smile.

That's it!

Wang Wei couldn't help giving Liu Yishou a thumbs up.Sure enough, only stronger coins can deal with coins.

"In this way, Wei Xiaokuan and others must think that we intend to cut off the channel for them to transport grain back to Hanzhong. I am afraid that instead of worrying, they will breathe a sigh of relief."

Wang Wei laughed.

"That's the truth, but in war, we do our best to know the destiny, and we can just do our own thing well."

Liu Yishou nodded slightly. He didn't know if he didn't analyze it. By separating and classifying these things one by one, he could quickly grasp the true intentions of those people in Guanzhong.

"How do you think Wei Xiaokuan and others will deal with the next battle?"

Liu Yishou asked calmly.Now that we've talked, he also wants to see how Wang Wei predicts.

"After the spring is warm and the flowers are blooming, collect food in Nanxiang, and divide a part of the troops to transport the food to Wuguan. The rest of the soldiers and horses will depend on how they fight with Gao Huan's people. If they can beat them, they will fight. The two sides are bright and dark, and do not affect each other. As for Cui's troops, who cares about them."

Wang Wei frowned, and sighed with emotion: "It's really useless not to get up early, it's very dangerous."

"That's right, so you said how about we give them a surprise?"

Liu Yishou stretched out his index finger, drew a circle in the air and said, "For example, when the time comes, light a fire in Nanxiang. So much food, don't you burn it?"

You are really ruthless!So much food has been burned, it will be a sad year for Nanyang!
"Didn't my lord say before that if I miss the spring plowing, Nanyang will be short of food? It seems that the battle between Gao Huan and He Bayue will break out during the spring plowing, and this year is very likely to be abandoned. If this batch of food is also burned, That……"

Wang Wei didn't say the rest, but it was obviously not a good thing.

"If there is enough food in Nanyang, whoever will listen to outsiders like us, no matter those big households or small people in Shengdou? Only when they are short of food, can they think of us. After all, Nanyang will be short of food this year, so Shouyang and Jiankang will not There is a shortage of food."

Liu Yishou spread his hands and said helplessly.Said the cruelest things in the most plain words.

"That...that's true." Wang Wei sighed, how to say that sentence: Prosperity, the people suffer; death, the people suffer.
