Han Zuo Gaomen

Chapter 325

Gushu is close to the Dajiang River, and Niuzhu in the territory is the throat of the upper reaches of the Dajiang River. The water network on the left and right is criss-crossed, and it has always been the place where salt and rice are important.From here, Chen Bing can strangle the waterway of the Dajiang River, isolate Jingyang, overlook Xuancheng from below, and Jiangzhou from the south. It has always been an important place for Jiangdong to use troops to win.

In the early years, Wang Dun was in chaos, so he stationed soldiers and went to see Jingji.Liyang, which was originally guarded by Su Jun, faced Gushu across the water, and its main mission was to deter the Western Fan, preventing Gushu from gathering strong troops to disrupt Jiangdong.The world has turned upside down, and the guardians of the early years have now become rebels, but the only thing that remains unchanged is the strategic position of Gu Shu.

Today's aunt, apart from the original warehouses and warehouses, still has a large area of ​​camps.In addition to the nearly [-] people stationed here in the headquarters of the Liyang Army and the more than [-] Imperial Guards who were transferred here from the capital, there are also a large number of local tyrants and bravery.

Jiangdong has experienced repeated turmoil. Generally speaking, those who have one or two ambitions and rely on military bravery have some thoughts in their hearts to take advantage of the situation.In the early years, Yi Xingzhou, who belonged to a family of five lords, and now Wu Xingshen, who is the leader of Jiangdong, are the objects of admiration and envy of these tyrants.

If it is a peaceful season, these people don't have many opportunities and channels for advancement, and their own strength is not enough for them to disrupt the world.It was a rare opportunity for them to raise troops in Liyang. They each made their own fortunes. Those who were weak were called captains, and those who were strong were called generals.

For these people, rebellion does not feel much guilt, and they don't think it is such a serious matter.On the one hand, the imperial court originally looked down on them, and was not keen on providing them with any channels to serve the imperial court, so naturally they lacked a sense of identity in their hearts.On the one hand, even if the Liyang incident is defeated, there is no way to blame everyone, and it is impossible to kill all the rebels.To stabilize the situation after the chaos and calm down the local turmoil, we still have to rely on these tycoons.

If you don't make trouble yourself, others will make trouble too.Even if it is chaos, it may not be punished.What's more, they can take advantage of the chaos to plunder people and property to strengthen themselves. If they are lucky enough to survive this turmoil, they may become even more important in the local area in the future.Today's Wu Xingshen family, isn't it just such a process of making a fortune?
Successful examples are right in front of them, even if they can't achieve the astonishing success of the Shen family, with a few discounts, it will be a big leap in family background for these families.

Su Jun also welcomes this kind of responders. Whether these people are loyal or not is not something he needs to consider at all.The deeds of each other are similar, the more turbulent the situation is, the more power and benefits that warriors like them can grab.No matter how selfish these people are, as long as they are willing to help themselves build momentum, it is worth wooing them.

Therefore, after stabilizing the situation in Gyeonggi, Su Jun quickly led the main force to move to Gushu, and generally recruited all those who responded by raising troops to his subordinates, and rewarded them generously.Now in this big camp of aunts, there are hundreds of Guannei Marquis who are fifth-rank nobles alone, and there are countless people who have been awarded the title of general.

Are rewards excessive?Su Jun himself doesn't know what will happen tomorrow, so why not do it if his mere vain name can attract more practical help!Whether or not the rewards are excessive is a question that he will not consider until he has completely stabilized the situation.What's more, when that time comes, there is no idea how many of these honorees will be left, so it really doesn't matter.

Liyang's army is strong, but its water warfare is not as good, and it is not as good as the southerners' young students who are able to ride the waves.When these local tyrants in Xuancheng who took the opportunity to cause chaos were recruited, Su Jun organized them into an army, provided boats, and went upstream from the great river to break through the Qianfeng water camp in Wuhu in Jiangzhou.He personally led his headquarters to cover up and kill along the coast, and drove the forwards of the Jiangzhou Army all the way back to Xunyang Township.

After hearing the news of Yu Liang's death, Su Jun was indeed very pleasantly surprised and felt very blessed.What he was most worried about was that after Yu Liang escaped from Gyeonggi, he called on all parties to work hard for the king, which made him fall into the target of public criticism.Now that Yu Liang is dead, even if the various places are not angry with him for his intention to be king, they cannot trust each other, there are many conflicts, and it is difficult for anyone to control the other.Now the Gyeonggi center is under his control, giving him the opportunity to split up and break down individually.

But without hesitation, the news that the empress dowager fled to Jingkou to build Xingtai gave him a bolt from the blue.What's more, his slight advantage of law and etiquette disappeared. He originally raised troops in the name of punishing traitors. Now that the traitors are dead, it seems that there is no reason to continue to riot.But the matter has come to this, how can he let it go!
The situation has evolved to the present stage, and the little confusion in Su Jun's heart when he started his army has disappeared, and his thoughts have gradually matured.Now that both the capital and the emperor are in his hands, it is a god-sent opportunity, and he can take advantage of this opportunity to leap to the top of many high schools and control the center as an internal and external arbitration.As for Jingkou's Xingtai, he can't admit it, and he won't admit it!

The rooster is in the morning, but the family is the only thread. There is no virtuous and virtuous minister in the world. How can a dull woman be allowed to intervene in politics and look for decline!In particular, Su Jun's resentment towards the empress dowager is no less than his hatred towards Yu Liang, so it is impossible for him to bow down and surrender!
But in any case, if Jingkou is allowed to grow stronger, it will be a fatal hidden danger.His original intention was to personally lead his troops east to Jingkou, and then repeat the old story of capturing Jiankang to completely eliminate hidden dangers.However, the Jingzhou side did not give him an answer for a long time, which made him feel uneasy.Besides, Jingkou was close to Huaibei, so he had to consider Xi Jian's reaction to this.

After thinking for a long time, and discussing with a group of advisers and generals for a long time, Su Jun finally formulated the current strategy.Don't bother with Jingkou for the time being, as long as you are on guard against them not approaching Gyeonggi.He himself led the main force to guard Guyu, on the one hand frightening both sides of Jingjiang, and on the other hand ensuring that there is no danger of retreat.Han Huang's department continued to sweep Xuancheng and marched towards Wuzhong.

As long as the situation can be maintained at the present stage, we can further strive to reach a consensus with the North and South families and abolish the Yu family's ruling power.Su Jun is still full of confidence in this. His troops are brave and good at fighting, and there are few opponents in Jiangdong.

Those high-ranking people are fine with empty talk, and the military strategy is not worth mentioning. Once the counter-insurgency is found to be ineffective, I believe it will not take long to make a compromise.What's more, Yu Yi in Jingkou is no more than a middle-aged man, and all he relies on is the title of empress dowager. Her fame and talent are too difficult to handle, and she doesn't have much appeal to order all parties.

As for Kuaiji Shen Chong's back-and-forth, Su Jun also hated it deeply, but he was not very disappointed.Wu people are cunning and unfaithful, and he didn't expect much from Shen Chong.When Han Huang invades Wu Xing and wreaks havoc on his homeland, then Shen Chong will understand the price of teasing himself!No matter how surreptitious changes are, they must be backed by strength after all.At that time, Shen Chong will know who to cooperate with!The hatred of treachery will be repaid double sooner or later!
In addition to the worries about the war, Su Jun still has a little trouble from the inside, that is, the Yuzhou Department of the coalition army.He also knows that it is difficult to control the overall situation with few soldiers in Liyang, and although there are many followers, they are useless.Therefore, he attached great importance to the coalition forces in Yuzhou. It was agreed earlier that the mingjue would be willing to live under the appointment of his ancestors. will be above.

However, even with such courtesy, there are still people in the Yuzhou Army who are dissatisfied, especially Zu Huan, the son of Zu Ti.Although this person is quite brave and good at fighting because of his father's style, he is indeed far inferior in terms of strategy and wisdom.Earlier, he was openly angry and said that Su Jun looked down on him and refused to entrust him with important tasks because he was regarded as a general.When the army was about to move to Gushu, they disobeyed the military order and made many excuses, and refused to leave the prosperous place of Jiankang.

Su Jun also deeply hated this virtuous and wise queen, just because Zu Yue's face was not easy to reprimand.If this son was a child of his family or a member of his tribe, Su Jun would have wished to take him in and beheaded by the military order!
Zu Huan's here is just a trivial matter, and Su Jun can bear it temporarily for the sake of great cause, but what makes him more worried is Zu Yue's.Earlier, thousands of troops from Yuzhou went south to jointly capture Gyeonggi, and the situation was already very good. It was time to add more soldiers to pursue the victory and expand the victory.However, he sent out so many letters asking for help, but Zu Yue never sent any more reinforcements, and even had the idea of ​​withdrawing the troops, which inevitably caused Su Jun a headache.

Those who care about major events look at both the head and the tail, and actually want to give up halfway.The resentment in Su Jun's heart can be imagined, but no matter how dissatisfied he is, it is difficult to turn his face now. If Zu Yue withdraws his troops, it will be even more difficult for him to maintain the situation here.

On this day, Su Jun invited Xu Liu to a rich banquet again, hoping to stabilize people's hearts.

Xu Liu, originally the prefect of Huainan, was Zu Ti's brother-in-law and Zu Yue's son-in-law, and was an extremely important general in the Yuzhou Army.As the commander-in-chief of the Yuzhou Department of the Allied Forces, Xu Liu is now full of ambition and has a rather arrogant attitude. Looking at the dazzling array of wine, food and dishes, and hugging the gentle and gentle Wu Ji in his arms, Xu Liu unconsciously became a bit unrestrained: "I knew Jiangdong earlier. There are good places in the world, and the prosperity of things is fascinating. Shao Linggong was patient in the early years, why bother, if he had conspired with each other to settle the big things, now he is a soft bed, full of warmth and fragrance, why bother the army to travel and fight."

Su Jun smiled slightly, not revealing what was in his heart, but raised his glass and smiled at Xu Liu: "This town is rich and honored, how dare you enjoy it exclusively. It's a pity that the Taiwei can't come here and share this splendor with us joy."

Xu Liu's position is not mediocre now. Hearing this, he knew the meaning of Su Jun's words. His eyes recovered a little bit of clarity and he said with a smile: "The north and south are turbulent like boiling soup. Many things are not unwilling to do. Each has its own difficulties! Shouchun The land is close to the Central Plains, and there are no mountains and rivers to rely on. My master is also trembling in the other side, not daring to lose anything. If the troops are dispatched too frequently, it may attract Jie Nu to peep..."

Xu Liu said a lot, but he only talked about Yuzhou's difficulties, did not mention the matter of increasing troops, and even faintly revealed his intention to withdraw troops.Su Jun hated deeply in his heart, but he could only force a smile and said: "The current situation is not easy to come by, how can we neglect our previous achievements. The purpose of making an appointment with each other is to show off together. I also feel the difficulties in Yuzhou from the bottom of my heart. Later, the resources will be transferred to this point, and they will be transported immediately to the north to temporarily relieve the Taiwei's emergency."

When Xu Liu heard this, his expression became much happier, he stopped complaining, and began to talk elegantly.

Su Junshang comforted Xu Liu in the banquet, but when he looked up, he saw the general gesturing to him frequently outside the tent with an anxious look on his face, his heart trembled slightly, he confessed his guilt first, then got up and left the banquet and hurried out.

"My lord, something is wrong!"

The general followed Su Jun to the hidden camp, and then handed over the battle report. Su Jun unfolded it, his body trembled suddenly, and his tone was a bit ferocious: "When did Zhang Zigao become so unbearable! I will entrust the heavy responsibility to him, It was defeated by the hands of a child!"

After taking a look at Xu Liu's tent in the Chinese army, Su Jun's face became even more ugly, and he lingered for a long time before saying in a deep voice: "Immediately order Kuang Xiao to lead the headquarters to help Han Huang. If Guangde cannot be captured in ten days, raise your head." Come and see!"
