Governor please stay

No one who can reach a high position is a real fool.Such a person must be a master of calculations in the rules of the game he is in, and there is definitely something special about him.

Gao Huan is a typical example. When competing with his opponents, he is very good at prescribing the right medicine.

Although the micromanagement is terrible, the general direction is always correct, so that it can go to today.

After plundering the grassland and returning with a big victory, Gao Huan also hopes to take advantage of the power of the big victory to do something big and cause trouble for his old opponents.However, different opponents have different strengths and geographical differences. It is not advisable to directly attack the eyebrows and beards and send troops simply and rudely.

Regarding He Bayue, Gao Huan knew that the opponent had a geographical advantage, even if he had more horses on his side, he could not help him for the time being, so he did not take any substantive actions.

It's just out of sight, out of mind.

However, Gao Huan was not so polite to Er Zhurong who occupied Jinyang.

He ordered Duan Shao to lead [-] troops to march west to Jinzhou, and he must occupy Jinzhou completely, cleanly and thoroughly, without leaving any stronghold for Er Zhurong's troops.

The Eastern Wei Dynasty occupied about two-thirds of the territory in Jinzhou itself, and only the northern part of Jinzhou was under the control of Er Zhurong's forces.

Therefore, Gao Huan's order to Duan Shao is: clean up, mop up, firmly control Jinzhou, and when the time is right in the future, harass the surrounding areas of Jinyang from time to time, except not to attack the city, do whatever Duan Shao wants to do , nothing is taboo!

Regarding Liang Guo, Gao Huan changed the way of dealing with it, supplemented by military means, and focused on political means.He asked Gao Yue to lead the troops forward, stationed in Xingyang, and made a gesture of going south. At the same time, he sent Wei Shou, the Minister of Zhongshu, as an envoy to Jiankang, threatening the center of Liang Guo to spit out all the land in Henan obtained by the previous Northern Expedition!
In order to create conflicts and embarrass Liu Yishou, Gao Huan asked Liu Yishou to send Gao Ling back to Yecheng regardless of his own face!

However, Liu Yishou had already published "Kai Wan Shi Tai Ping Zhen Shu" before that, so how could he slap himself in the face?The ministers from all walks of life in the DPRK knew Liu Yishou's thoughts, so naturally it was impossible to jump out and sing the opposite, so they all kept strangely silent.

Facing Gao Huan's envoy Wei Shou's aggressive questioning, Liu Yishou's reply was only two words: dreaming!

On the one hand, he issued an edict through the son emperor Xiao Dong, ordering Yu Jin on the front line to guard Changshe City well, not to lose a city or land, and not to retreat even when the battle ends, to show Liang Guo's firm attitude of waiting in battle.

He didn't even open a mouth to negotiate conditions, leaving Wei Shou, who had prepared a lot of lobbying strategies, helpless.

On the other hand, Liu Yishou personally wrote a letter to Yu Jin, asking him to quietly withdraw the main force of the army to Shangcai, and adopt a "light at the front and heavy at the rear" deployment method in Henan to deal with Gao Huan's military adventure.

And stationing the main force of the frontier army in Shangcai has another advantage, that is, it can get the support and protection of Liang Guohuainan troops.Liu Yishou made good preparations for the fall of Nanyingchuan County, the gateway to the north of Nanyang, so as to preserve his vitality and not have to stick to the front line. He used his precious soldiers to compete with Gao Huan for the city of Henan.

Seeing that Liang Guo's court did not surrender, Gao Huan had no choice but to send someone to send a letter to call Wei Shou back.

Gao Huan originally wanted to intimidate his opponents, and sending troops south to Xingyang was just a show. It was just for training and had no intention of invading south.Liu Yishou saw through the intimidation strategy, so he didn't take it seriously. Anyway, didn't he have nothing to lose?

This is the case when fighting between masters. When there is no final decision, it is to see who consumes more.If Liu Yishou can't play the game, at most he can only draw with Gao Huan. What loss does Gao Huan have?

Gao Huan didn't think there was a problem with his strategy at all.

Gao Huan thought it through very clearly, he is still in good health, and it is not a big problem to support him for ten years.Since Liang Guo seems to be well-prepared, there is no need to force it, just deal with Er Zhurong first.

The account with Liu Yishou will definitely be settled with him in the future, and Gao Huan feels that there is no need to rush this matter.

This huge stumbling block, he will remove it sooner or later.

……

"Your father intends to settle accounts with me, and wants me to send you back, what do you think should be done?

I can't bear to send you back. "

Under the bright sunshine, Liu Yishou was sitting at the stone table in the courtyard, gently stroking Gao Ling's slightly raised belly, kissing her blushing pretty face and teasingly.

"I don't know how to go back, alas...just listen to A Lang."

Gao Ling sighed quietly, resting her head on Liu Yishou's shoulder.

She is pregnant with her second child, is she deliberately making herself feel uncomfortable when she returns to Yecheng?Even if he wanted to go back, it would only be when Liu Yishou attacked Yecheng in the future!
It can be regarded as "returning home".

In any case, after she returns to Yecheng now, it is almost self-evident what kind of life the eldest daughter who has already given birth to and the child who is still in the womb will live.

What's more, she is still young and still needs the comfort and favor of a man.Who will be the man who will sleep in the same bed with her?
Who can enjoy her beautiful figure?
With Liu Yishou as a benchmark, how could another man, Gao Ling, endure it?
Don't be afraid of ignorance, but afraid of comparing goods; from frugality to extravagance is easy, from extravagance to frugality is difficult, when the time comes to change a man by your side, I'm afraid Gao Ling will be so disgusted that she wants to commit suicide!

In Jiankang, at least she can openly become Liu Yishou's concubine, enjoy the glory and tenderness, and no one dares to do anything to her.After going back, without a man to support her, what good will happen to her as a lost flower?

It doesn't take a second to imagine how the ending will end.

In this era, after all, women have to depend on men to exist, but the difference lies in: what kind of man do they depend on?
Is it an indomitable hero or a worthless wretch!
Gao Ling already had the answer in her heart.

"The eaves are low and the grass is green on the stream.

Drunk, Wu Yinxiang is so charming. Whose white-haired Weng-wo?

Daer is hoeing beans in the east, and Zhonger is weaving chicken coops.

I like the death of a child the most, lying on the head of the stream and peeling off the lotus pods. "

After reciting a poem by Xin Qiji, Liu Yishou took Gao Ling's hand and said softly: "In the future, when I rule the world, there will be no wars in the world. We can also be like ordinary people, with our children around our knees, children playing in the fields, and the prime minister Hope is also a pleasure in the world.”

"Alang, you are really a good person, and you are different from those people I have met before."

Gao Ling said with some emotion.

She felt the strength gushing out of Liu Yishou's heart, which was ordinary and simple.This is a person who really thinks about things and does things.

Gao Cheng is slippery and frivolous, Gao Yang is gloomy and terrifying, Gao Huan is sunny on the outside, tolerant on the outside and taboo on the inside, Lou Zhaojun is moody and has eyes higher than the top.

The peers and elders that Gao Ling saw all had weird and paranoid styles, but Liu Yishou, who was in a high position, looked the most like an ordinary person.

At least, it won't make you feel intimidated by his position and authority.

Gao Ling originally thought that this was a quality that could not be more ordinary, but without comparison, there is no discrimination. Only when compared with other dignitaries, can Liu Yishou feel the extraordinary in this ordinary.

Is it not a very rare talent to hold a high position without intimidating the common man?
Gao Ling is very grateful to her mother, Lou Zhaojun, for sending herself to Liu Yishou.

It can be seen that my old mother, who has never taken an unusual path, really has a discerning eye in picking a man.

Lou Zhaojun always chooses only the best.

It was the same when I watched Gao Huan back then, and it was the same when I watched Liu Yishou later.

"You rest first, I'm going back to Taicheng to do business. Don't worry about your father's affairs, it's not my turn to protect me from the wind and rain."

Liu Yishou patted Gao Ling's little hand, and after a few words of comfort, he got up and left.

Gao Ling looked at his leaving back and wanted to say something, but in the end she didn't say a word, only sighed quietly.

A capable man always lacks time.And there are more people who want to share his time.

It is rare to have both in the world, and what is gained must be lost, which seems to be an irrefutable truth.

……

Gao Huan and Liu Yishou planned things in an orderly manner.

However, the development of things is sometimes not what the upper-level figures think.

For example, middle and lower-level officers and even ordinary soldiers, if their demands are not met, they will also destroy the plans of the upper levels.

This time Gao Huan had a limited number of troops to plunder the grassland, and the participating generals were also relatively limited.This is naturally very helpful for the sudden launch of the campaign and the confidentiality work.

It can even be said to be an important reason for the victory.

The troops under Gao Huan's command who participated in the fortress naturally made a lot of money, rewarded everyone, and their morale was high.

But there are still many troops who did not participate in the fortress. They are also serving as soldiers to eat food, they are also executing military orders, and they are also leaving their hometowns, but they have nothing to earn.

Gao Huan's bowl of water was not level, which caused Gao Yue, who was sitting in Xingyang, to complain, morale was low, and a large number of soldiers deserted to fish.

Even some soldiers have begun to force the palace in series.

The other armies have had enough, but they have nothing. In fact, Gao Yue's army cannot be blamed for the conflict from top to bottom.

Similar things, everyone will have an idea.If you want not to cause trouble, you can only find a way to balance it by the people above.

In view of this, Gao Yue suggested to Gao Huan that the army would go south to Changsha, attack the city and occupy the land, get wealth and goods to work for the army, so as to reassure the army.

Gao Huan became very angry when he heard this kind of bullshit.He immediately issued an imperial edict in the name of the emperor, severely criticizing Gao Yue, and reprimanding him for his incompetence in governing the army and loose military law, so that he could not restrain the soldiers.

Gao Huan was not ready at all to go south to the Huaihe River, and Er Zhurong was his next target, so he didn't want to be distracted by going south.

Under such circumstances, how could the soldiers go south to plunder just because they wanted to get the goods!
From any point of view, this is considered a taboo for military strategists, only those who live in no fixed place like to play like this!
Gao Huanzhi was ascending the throne and proclaiming himself emperor, cherishing his feathers, so naturally he would not allow such a thing to happen, even if he used to be lawless under Er Zhurong's command.

So Gao Huan ordered his younger brother-in-law Lou Zhao to be the supervisor of the army, and brought a team of personal soldiers to Xingyang to "suppress military discipline" in Gaoyue's camp.

Lou Zhao is not an idiot, he arrests people to build his prestige without coming up, but quietly went to the barracks for a while, chatted with the low-level soldiers, and then went back and said to Gao Huan: Don't worry about being few, but about unevenness , Gao Yuejun was jealous and envious of the friendly army who ate their brains full of fat.If things go on like this, the morale of the army may change.

Gao Huan didn't pay much attention to this matter at first, and almost forgot about it.But hearing what Lou Zhao said, he had to face up to the "unequal distribution of interests" in the military.

It is absolutely impossible for the goods looted from the grassland to be distributed to the generals and soldiers who did not participate in the battle.

This is a red line, and you must not open your mouth.Otherwise, if the army is required to step up to the top when encountering major events in the future, there will never be any "fools" willing to stand up.

Since you can "equalize the benefits" by just sticking around, who will come forward?Wouldn't it be more comfortable to lie down and take money than to go into battle?

This is where the evil of human nature lies. Once there is a problem with the distribution of benefits, the ugly side of human nature will be infinitely magnified.

It’s not our place to plunder the grasslands, so it’s our turn to plunder Henan, right?This is the robber logic of Gao Yue's soldiers.Obviously he didn't contribute much in the battle of going out of the fortress, but he still felt that he was very reasonable.

And these people didn't ask for money directly, they just wanted an "opportunity".It seems a little unreasonable for the above to not promise.Gao Huan has experienced the difficulty of being the boss, and he has to find a way to settle this bowl of water if he is not fair!

Gao Huan hurriedly consulted with Sun Teng and others, and after weighing it over and over again, he felt that Gao Yue's suggestion also had merits.

So Gao Huan ordered Gao Yue to lead his troops south to Changsha. If Changsha could be captured, the army would be allowed to plunder for three days, and the spoils would not need to be handed over.

With this order, the soldiers under Gao Yue's command were as if they had been beaten with chicken blood. They came to Changshe City suddenly like desperate pigs, and began to attack the city without stopping.

After the siege went on for an hour, Yu Jin saw that the situation was not good, so he ran away with his own army, left the baggage in the city alone, and let the Eastern Wei army plunder everywhere.

Gao Yue's soldiers saw that the tall and majestic Changshe City was breached so easily, and they all felt complacent and somewhat carried away, thinking that Yu Jin was nothing more than that, and that he was just a swindler who used Liu Yishou's name to make a living below.

So they didn't set up the city defense much, but opened the treasury in the city and moved things in groups. Many soldiers even fought with each other for money and food.

There are not many houses in the city, and this group of people did not let them go. Like locusts crossing the border, they moved away. Even in the middle of the night, the gates of Changsha were not closed, and people came and went. Soldiers carrying luggage!
Why didn't Gao Yue restrain his followers?It's not that he doesn't want to, but that it's hard to offend everyone.

The promotion channels for senior officers and middle and lower rank officers are different. If middle and lower rank officers don't have a chance these days, they will end up dying in a certain battle, and there is no chance of promotion at all.

Therefore, like the soldiers at the bottom, they are more interested in real goods, and they are very concerned about whether their pockets are full, but they don't care much about whether they can be appreciated by Gao Huan.

If Gao Yue wants to deploy defenses at this moment to prevent the soldiers from robbing, it will be against everyone and block their way of making money.In history, there were not one or two senior generals who lost their heads because of this kind of thing.

Anyway, the Eastern Wei Dynasty is not his own, Gao Yue chooses to be wise and protect himself, as if he can't see anything.

However, he thought well, but Yu Jin did not cooperate with him.

After investigating the situation in Changshe City, Yu Jin, who had originally put his troops back, did not notify the rear troops to move forward at all.

Instead, they used a mixed team of infantry and cavalry with less than two thousand in hand to raid Changshe City in the dark.

Yu Jin didn't give Gao Yue a chance to reorganize his army at all, and found that Gao Yue's army didn't even close the city gate for the sake of robbery, so he decided to put all his eggs in one basket.

The 2000-man team that arrived successively killed all directions in Changshe City. Gao Yue's army had almost lost its organizational structure and was moving things. Some soldiers were not even in the city at all!
Gao Yue's army was defeated like an avalanche, and they kept fleeing towards Xingyang. Yu Jin's pursuers chased dozens of miles before stopping.

In this battle, thousands of soldiers and horses under Gao Yue's command were killed and over ten thousand were missing, and a main force was beaten to the point of losing its organizational structure. It can be described as a solid and disastrous defeat.

What's even more ridiculous is that there are many more people missing than those who found their bodies, and it's unknown whether they were killed by Yu Jin's soldiers, or turned into bandits with the looted money.

Anyway, since then, the area around Changsha has become a place where banditry has continued. It was not until Liu Yishou's full-scale Northern Expedition to wipe out the Eastern Wei Dynasty that the banditry was completely eradicated.

Gao Yue fled back to Xingyang in embarrassment, not daring to delay, he went directly to Yecheng to plead guilty to Gao Huan.Knowing this unexpected defeat, Gao Huan was so angry that he almost vomited blood for three liters, and he no longer had the confidence to entrust important tasks to these parts that did not participate in the Battle of the Fortress.

So Gao Huan sent someone to urgently recall Duan Shao who had just settled down in Jinzhou, and asked Duan Shao to return to Yecheng alone, to rectify the trilogy in Yecheng, and then gather troops to go south to Changshe. He must find a place on the southern line first!

This is a battle to prove the strength of the country and the army. If you don't fight to prove it, the military power that swept the grassland before will be gone.

Gao Huan couldn't help but back down.

There is one more today
