Chapter 485

Gao Aocao ran away without hesitation, leaving two or three thousand old, weak, sick and disabled in the camp, and the defeated infantry outside the camp.I have to say that he ran very resolutely. If he was slower, whether he could run away is really another matter.

Liu Yishou, who had hit [-] shots of Shenhuo Flying Crow, felt like those big brothers who always slapped rockets on female anchors.

"Ugh!"

Thinking about these messy things, Liu Yishou felt sorry for the loss this time, his face was a little ugly, and he sighed helplessly.

No matter how simple a hot weapon is, the consumption is not comparable to that of a cold weapon, it is too expensive!

And it's not just about money.The supply of gunpowder obviously cannot increase, and the amount of charcoal is of course no problem, but the sources of saltpeter and sulfur are very limited, and the output of gunpowder has been greatly restricted.

It's time to find a way to get gunpowder in another way, Liu Yishou thought to himself.

"Is the lord worried that Gao Aocao will report this matter to Gao Huan after he returns?"

Seeing that Liu Yishou didn't seem to be happy because of the victory, Wu Mingche asked cautiously.He felt that the master of his family seemed to be quite unpredictable.Typical superior.

"Yeah, what do you think about this?"

Liu Yishou looked back at Wu Mingche with great interest and asked, the haze on his face just now seemed to be just an illusion.

"The subordinates think that the secret of Shenhuo Feicrow cannot be hidden. But they know it and don't know why, and it is not so easy to prevent it. The shield is getting stronger and the spearhead will be sharper. It is still unclear who will die. My lord, you don't have to think too much, the boat will be straight when it reaches the bridge."

Wu Mingche's thinking is very dialectical. Liu Yishou patted him on the shoulder with a smile and said, "You are very thoughtful and will become a great tool in the future. Don't indulge yourself."

"Thank you for your teaching, my lord, my subordinates will definitely live up to my lord's expectations!"

Hearing Liu Yishou's praise, Wu Mingche said happily.

"You can carry out the finishing work of this battle. Wang Changshi (Wang Wei) and I are going to Pengcheng. After cleaning up the mess left by Gao Aocao, lead the troops into Pengcheng."

Liu Yishou said to Wu Mingche emotionally, then turned and left.Now that the power is in his hands, many things really don't need him to do it himself.The Wei army in Xuzhou had nothing to fear. The camps of Gao Shen and Gao Aocao fell one after another, and the Xuzhou front collapsed.Yaoxiong, who is alone in the camp on the other side of Xiapi, will definitely be like a frightened bird.

When the time comes to send a well-groomed army to slowly approach the opponent's camp, Yao Xiong will definitely withdraw with all his strength, preserving his remaining strength and defending Qingzhou alone.

Therefore, as long as the attacking Liang army drove the opponent a few hundred miles away, the battle would be over, and the war between Liang Guo and Wei Guo would also come to an end.

From then on, Gao Huan was probably very busy, planning to seize Hedong and Jinyang, and Liu Yishou also wanted to take all the southern Zhejiang and Fujian and Yue areas back into Liang Kingdom's territory, to consolidate the foundation and establish prestige.

In the past few years, there have been constant wars. Now that Nanyang has been won, the defense lines of Lianghuai and Qingxu have been stabilized, and the hinterland of Jiangnan can be regained. It is indeed possible to start to cultivate.

There are a lot of problems in the country of Liang, such as the outdated legal system, unreasonable promotion rules, wealthy chieftains around the world, and Buddhist temples accounting for one-tenth of the population. There are a lot of land and shops under their command.That's not counting those stupid and bad Xiao clans.

The sum of all these things made Liu Yishou feel like he was stepping on stilts, and he would fall into the abyss if he was not careful.

Dominating the world is a long-distance race that consumes energy. Although the final victory is accumulated bit by bit, don't pay too much attention to the momentary victory and defeat, and ignore your own foundation.

Thinking about these complicated issues in his heart, Liu Yishou led Wang Wei and others into Pengcheng, and met Yu Wentai and others who had been away for a year.

……

In Pengcheng's treasury, Liu Yishou took Yu Wentai and others to visit the Shenhuo Feiya and Vulcan Cabinet that had been put into storage for maintenance.On the walls of the treasury, there are huge words "Strictly No Fireworks" written in ink.

Yuwentai picked up a flying crow and observed it carefully.The arrows are ordinary arrows, and the secret is in the bamboo tube under the arrows.But Liu Yishou didn't say anything, and he was too embarrassed to ask too much detail, so he could only reluctantly put it in the Vulcan cabinet.

"Is this the thing that defeated Gao Huan's troops?"

Finally, Yu Wentai asked.

"That's natural, but it's also thanks to the surprise victory. Next time the opponent is on guard, it won't be as easy to use as it is now."

Liu Yishou nodded slightly and said.

"That's really a pity."

Yu Wentai sighed, as a general who knows about military affairs, he certainly understands the meaning of this thing.The so-called winning by surprise is just this way of playing.

"Since the battle of Nanyang last year, you have used offense instead of defense, sitting in Qingxu.

During the period, there were many changes in the battle situation, and you dealt with it very well. This time it was really hard work. "

Liu Yishou pulled Yu Wentai's cuff with emotion, and said sincerely.

"The subordinate is finally... fulfilling the mission entrusted by the master."

Yu Wentai cupped his sleeves and bowed deeply to Liu Yishou.

"Well, I won't be polite to you. Take me to the signing room. I have something important to discuss with you."

They came to the signing room in Pengcheng, screened out the idlers, and only Yu Wentai and Liu Yishou were left in the signing room.

"My lord, do you have anything to discuss?"

Yu Wentai asked suspiciously.

"The land of Fujian and Zhejiang has always been fond of rebellion. In the last years of the Qi State (Southern Qi), there has been unrest here. After the Xiao Yan Chan Dynasty, there is also listening to the tune but not to the propaganda.

I wanted to take command and go to Fujian and Zhejiang, but the affairs of the DPRK and China were complicated and I couldn't get away.What do you think about this, Black Otter? "

Liu Yishou asked very formally.Although he didn't have a straight face, he couldn't even see a smile.

For this sake, Yu Wentai already understood what Liu Yishou came to find him for.He couldn't say no at all.

"If the lord doesn't dislike it, the subordinates are willing to lead troops to lead the expedition to Minyue."

Yu Wentai cupped his hands and said.

"Then I will ask the imperial court to appoint you as the governor of East Yangzhou, the governor of Yongjia and the military forces of the three counties of Jin'an and Jian'an, who will be responsible for conquering the powerful chieftains south of Kuaiji and bringing their territory into the national territory.

This time is a meritorious deed, but it is not a day's work.How to choose is up to you.Whoever needs to cooperate with you, just ask. "

"Understood, then the subordinates can recruit soldiers in Qingxu as the capital to go south, right?"

Since he is the governor of East Yangzhou and the commander-in-chief of the military forces of the three counties, then Yu Wentai can naturally recruit soldiers and horses by himself.If you don't have this bit of power, let alone conquer the south, even Yongjia County (Wenzhou, Zhejiang), which is the closest to the center, can't control it.

Yu Wentai's question is very critical and practical.Now the county soldiers on Qingxu's side will all disband and go home to farm.These people have delayed their farming season for a year. Although they are subsidized by the state, they definitely don't want to leave their hometowns again.

"Yes, you can't let the horse run and let the horse not eat grass."

Liu Yishou said with a smile.

"Then the subordinate will have no problem."

Yu Wentai cupped his hands and said, seeming very confident.

"Wang Sizheng is not good at fighting in the field, this time you are dealing with Yaoxiong, you lead your troops to pursue it."

"That's fine, then this subordinate will go to prepare."

Yu Wentai smiled, and after saluting, he said goodbye and left.

He knew very well that this was an opportunity for Liu Yishou to give him meritorious service. At the end of the battle, some "military exploits" were made, so that Liu Yishou could recommend Yu Wentai to Xiao Huan as the governor of East Yangzhou.This is a mutually beneficial and win-win situation.

Even if Yu Wentai doesn't need military exploits to carry people in flower sedan chairs, his nephews and nephews will always need it.Liu Yishou knew that Yuwentai's restless nephews and nephews were always making arrangements behind his back, but he didn't care, and there was no need to be serious with some juniors.

When encountering complex problems, only by focusing on the big and letting go of the small, and grasping the core issues, can we be invincible.

If Yu Wentai dared to rebel, he could just beat him to death with a mighty force. There is no need to worry about this and that all day long.As long as Yu Wentai does not rebel, he can be regarded as a subordinate and rely on trust, and there is no need to haggle over every little thing.

Liu Yishou has always used scheming to control Yuwentai, never using conspiracy.So sometimes even if Yu Wentai had some shady little thoughts in his heart, he didn't dare to express them easily, and most of the time he extinguished his thoughts.

Yu Wentai understands that the one who is wrong is always himself!

Only Yangmou can deal with Yangmou. Yuwentai must be so strong that Liu Yishou can't control it at all, so that he can go out independently.Other conspiracies and tricks will only turn themselves into a joke.

For example, this time, Liu Yishou made Yu Wentai farther away from the north at the price of promotion!

As long as they are far away, over time, Yu Wentai's Wuchuan fellows and those contacts in the north will be cut off.

If he wanted to refuse, how could Yu Wentai refuse Liu Yishou?Could it be that his ultimate goal is to go north to sever ties, and then establish his own family?How could Yu Wentai say this, he didn't even dare to mention it to his cronies.

Liu Yishou let him take the lead, gave him the power of governor, and gave him the real job of governor of East Yangzhou, what else did Yu Wentai want?Not only what he can do, but also what Liu Yishou's other subordinates, Liang Guo's officialdom, and even powerful figures in various places will think of it.

If these people think that Liu Yishou is "very kind" to the Yuwen family, but Yuwentai wants to establish his own family without knowing what is good or bad, how will the people of the world think of Yuwentai?
When others deal with Yuwentai, will they treat him as an ungrateful white-eyed wolf first, and then treat him differently after Yuwentai gradually "improves" his image?
If there is such a day, it is estimated that Yuwen's tail will not grow any longer, it is better to hide his name as soon as possible.

For Liu Yishou's conspiracy, Yu Wentai has no solution at all.Instead of thinking about what you have and what you don't have, it's better to obey the order and recruit brave people from Qingxu to go south to make contributions.

After Yu Wentai left, Liu Yishou asked Wang Wei to draw up a list of official appointments, including Yu Wentai's nephews and nephews, such as Yu Wenhu, Yuchijiong brothers, He Lanxiang brothers, etc. Lead an army.Then he left Pengcheng and went to Xiapi.

……

A few days later, Yu Wentai led an army eastward to Xiapi, preparing to cooperate with Wang Sizheng to encircle Yaoxiong's camp from the west.As a result, when I went to the place, I saw that the Wei army camp was in a mess, with luggage scattered everywhere, but I couldn't even see a ghost.

All the soldiers of the Wei army who took Yaoxiong to the bottom on their own initiative left without a trace.

Yu Wentai led his troops north along the Yishui River in pursuit, and did not stop until Tan County.Armor and weapons still on the ground can be picked up along the road, which is enough to show that Yao Xiong walked very "simply".

Or just run away.

Although the Wei army looked extremely embarrassed, Yaoxiong did not even fall behind. After losing all his supplies and even his weapons and armor all the way, he managed to escape to Lixiapi. The distance is the hill.

It is enough to see that this person is not small, and his survival instinct is still higher than Gao Aocao.

Yu Wentai, who captured only some dead things, returned to Pengcheng with his soldiers and horses, just at this time the appointment of the imperial court was also delivered.Seeing that he was appointed as the governor of the three counties, the governor of East Yangzhou, etc., and that all his nephews and nephews were rewarded, Yu Wentai could not help but sigh softly.

He was sincerely convinced in his heart that Liu Yishou was really impeccable in his work!
In the study room of the Pengcheng government office, Yu Wentai's nephews and nephews all looked happy and congratulated him, but everyone saw that Yu Wentai was frowning, as if he was not happy at all.

"What is uncle worried about?" Yu Wenhu asked doubtfully.

"The Wei army is retreating, and the county soldiers in Pengcheng will be sent home soon. We will also start recruiting elite soldiers and prepare to go south to Yongjia County."

Yu Wentai sighed, Liu Yishou painted such a big cake, and all the rewards are in place, so how can he stand still as a person who has taken advantage of it?

"Going south? Why are we going south?"

Yuchi Jiong asked in bewilderment.They were just happy that they had been promoted, but they didn't expect to go south to fight.

"The military order is here."

Yu Wentai took out a letter from his cuff and handed it to Yu Wenhu.Several people circulated it, and all of them changed from elated to frosty eggplant.

"Uncle, Dudu Liu is really a bully, isn't he?"

He Lanxiang lowered his voice and continued: "Let us go south, just to make Yuwen's family farther away from the north, when the time comes..."

In fact, he didn't mention Yu Wentai, but he knew that many people in Wuchuan Town would definitely join Liu Yishou at that time.

What does Yu Wentai use to win people's hearts?

The Yuwen family has become a tree without roots, what else can they do besides honestly work under Liu Yishou's command?

"Indeed, how about this, you go to Jiankang with the military order to find Liu Dudu, and say that we don't want to go south to Yongjia County to conquer those powerful chiefs, we want to become emperor in Jiankang, can you make a trip?"

Yu Wentai teased He Lanxiang and said.

"Even if I speak, Dudu Liu won't listen to me..."

He Lanxiang said with a smile.

They just want to stand on their own, they don't want to "rebel", and they don't have the capital to rebel.Now that Liu Yi is here, the foundation of Liang Guo is becoming more and more stable, and Yu Wentai's teasing words are no less than idiotic dreams.

"Now that you are all promoted, I have also been entrusted with a heavy responsibility. If you want to reject Liu Dudu's appointment, what will other people think of us, have you thought about this issue?"

Yu Wentai asked earnestly.

Yu Wenhu and the others stopped talking completely. Liu Yishou's move was so ruthless that they didn't even have the courage to say "no", let alone resist.

"That's it. We are going to hand over Pengcheng to Wu Mingche. After we recruit troops here, we will go south. Let's take a step and see."

Yu Wentai let out a long breath and said.Life is involuntary, and how many people can completely control their own destiny?It's okay to see the sword that can be seen, but the battles that cannot be seen are the deadliest.

What Yu Wentai didn't know was that Gao Huan, his old opponent who had fought fiercely for many years in another time and space, seemed to have returned to the original knot that could not be overcome after a big circle of fate.

Yubi City, Wei Xiaokuan, this pair appeared in Gao Huan's military career in advance, it seems that there is a will in the dark.
