Chapter 657: Guo Jia is also ambitious
"The envoy was able to analyze what Lu Congshou did from this short message, which is really admirable!"
Long Yu thought about it in his heart, but he was shocked, what Guo Jia just said could be connected, it should be eight or nine inseparable, then if the news spreads, all the previous reputations of Lu Congshou will be ruined, and the impact will be immeasurable, even if Lu Congshou is quite powerful, the internal turmoil will be for a while.
"It's not worth mentioning! Let's wait and see what happens! ”
Guo Jia has nothing to be proud of, he boasts that his resourcefulness is definitely not weaker than Xu Shu and others, but the only thing he lacks is that he came late and the credit is insufficient, otherwise Guo Jia would not have recommended himself to come.
In the final analysis, the further you go, the less credit you will have, if you don't take advantage of the present to get some credit, just rely on the army staff officers, when can you enter the cabinet as a cabinet elder?
If there is a founding merit, isn't there a lot more certainty about entering the cabinet?
Casually, after the end of the official reform, although the cabinet chief assistant is not called the prime minister, but the power and the prime minister are not much different, in order to prevent the cabinet chief assistant from having too much power and the tail is too big, so Liu De also determined the term of office system.
The term of office is five years, and the term can be renewed for up to two consecutive terms.
But Liu De also did not stipulate that the same person can be the first assistant for several terms at most in the case of discontinuity.
For example, Xun Yu is now serving as the first assistant of the cabinet, if nothing else, he will definitely serve two terms, that is, ten years, and then he will inevitably step down, then the successor will also serve as the first assistant of the cabinet for at least one term, unless it is a major accident, otherwise the position of the first assistant will not be easily moved, and Liu De will also abide by this rule in person.
After the successor leaves office, Xun Yu can still take over the position of first assistant for at least two terms, as long as the emperor trusts him and chooses him.
This is actually the same as Liu Deyuan's Putin in the Mao Bear Country, after the president is the prime minister, after the prime minister, continue to be the president.
Guo Jia continued to say to Long Yu: "But I still have to bother the master of the Long family, and the command of more than 1,000 soldiers and horses in this city will be handed over to the hands of the two generals Zhang and Wu. ”
"Of course, the two generals Zhang and Wu are both extraordinary in martial arts, and it will be more reassuring to hand over the soldiers and horses to these two."
Long Yu said.
"Such a great good!"
......
Then, Zhou Xu really urged Longhuan to attack the city first, although Longhuan promised well, but the army did not start to attack until noon, and it didn't take long to attack, so they dropped dozens of corpses and retreated like throwing off their armor.
Without waiting for Zhou Xu to be furious, Longhuan sent someone to ask for guilt first, and under the bitter crying, Zhou Xu could only comfort him, but he was helpless.
In less than a month, Zhou Xu's grain and grass were already insufficient, so he had to negotiate withdrawing from the army.
Guo Jia also noticed something, and instead instructed Zhang and Wu: "Longhuan does not make any efforts, Zhou Xu is only 5,000 soldiers and horses, it is useless for the siege of the city, now it is nearly a month, Zhou Xu's soldiers and horses have long been sleepy and lacking, food and grass are poor, morale is low, you two each lead a thousand soldiers and horses, one from the south city, one from the north city, both sides of the Zhou Xu soldiers and horses, will defeat Zhou Xu's department, and then strive to capture Zhou Xu alive." Those who capture Zhou Xuan alive should be the first merit. ”
"Zhou and Long will inevitably be at odds, and Longhuan will definitely not send troops to help, so just attack the Zhou Xuan camp and don't care about anything else."
"Yes!"
Zhang Liao and Wu Song hurriedly came out of the queue and said yes.
As Guo Jia expected, Zhou Xu's troops had no ability to react in a hurry, or never thought that the defenders who had been holding out for a month would come with all their might, especially the main generals were Zhang Liao and Wu Song, who could fight in Zhou Xu's camp with their own martial bravery.
When Longhuan learned that Zhou Xu was attacked, he hurriedly got up, but he ordered the army to guard against the camp and not to leave the camp for half a step.
When the morning dawned, and after the shouting and killing had subsided, he sent someone to inquire about the information, and learned about the situation last night, the three generals next to Zhou Xu died and fled, Zhou Xu was captured alone, and the 5,000 army was also dead and fled.
Long Huan then summoned a few cronies and said: "Zhou Xu has been captured, but we are still here but there is nothing we can do, it is better to get up immediately, go to Jiangzhou, and report the situation here to Lu Gong in detail." ”
Mr. Tao and several other cronies of Longhuan also agreed, so the Longhuan army soon set off for Jiangzhou.
Because of the lack of soldiers and horses, Guo Jia could only watch the departure of the Dragon Ring Department with a cold eye.
......
In October, before the news of Guo Jia's successful defense of Pule had reached Liu De's case, Liu De was overjoyed, so he appointed Guo Jia as the commander of Pule, Zhang Liao as the general, and Wu Song as the general to assist Guo Jia in guarding Pule, and asked Long Yu and other Long families to go to Luodu, which is now Chang'an.
With the palace of the previous Great Zhou Dynasty, the construction of Chang'an is also being carried out in an orderly manner, and the jade seal sent by Liao Hua personally drove the horse in front of Liu De's case.
The delivery of the jade seal of the country once again aroused the enthusiasm of the officials and soldiers under Liu De's command, and Bai Qi, who did not know how many chapters did not appear, once again wrote to Liu De, asking Liu De to succeed to the throne, which is what everyone expects.
Liu De just stayed in the middle this time, and what he meant was self-evident.
"Your Highness, this is the top table of Yang Guogong Shao Ei."
Xun Yu, the first assistant of the cabinet, and Jian Yong, Shangshu Ling, and other ministers came together and handed a letter to Liu De.
"Shao Ei..."
Of course, Liu De remembered this person, when the princes were fighting Cao, when they talked with Shao Qin, Shao Rong served on the side.
And after Shao Qin's death, Liu De also went to the court (the court was still under the control of Li Yun) to ask Shao Rong to be the pastor of Yangzhou and the Duke of Yangguo.
However, from the news that has come in recent years, Shao Rong is gentle and kind, and he does not have the prestige of his father, so it is difficult to move forward in Yangzhou, but fortunately, there are Ling Cao and other generals to encourage and support, which gives Shao Rong a chance to breathe.
The other major clans in Yangzhou mostly only care about their own one-third of an acre of land, although they are militarily armed, but they have not formed feudal princes like Li Yun and Lu Congshou.
Now the Han State is powerful, has defeated Xiang Yu to occupy Huaizhou, Yangzhou and Huaizhou are only a river apart, and Shao Rong has no ambition, his father Shao Qin and Liu De have a bad relationship, so after thinking about it all night, he wrote to ask for annexation.
Shao Ei's attachment can be said to make Liu De's emperor more justifiable, and this is also the first prince's attachment, which is of great significance.
Therefore, Liu De immediately convened the ministers to discuss the matter, and set the charter, and immediately ordered Zhou Cang to be the main general, Liu Renzhen, Liu Menglong, and Cao Shen as deputy generals, and led the troops and horses of the headquarters to Yangzhou south.
With the help of Shao Ei, the civil strife in Yangzhou was completely quelled.
At this time, in Yizhou, in Jinguan City, the capital of Yizhou, the official position on the surface was Yizhou Mu, and the actual Yizhou Emperor Ji Changrun summoned the father and son.
...
"Grass Minyu culture and meet Ming Gong!"
Yu Wenhua raised his head, but his gloomy face was full of smiles.
Like a spring breeze...
