There were sleds instead of horse-drawn carriages, and the speed naturally accelerated, and at the end of the first month, Gao Chong and his party finally arrived in Yingzhou. Looking at the tall and strong city walls of Yingzhou, Gao Chong's heart couldn't help but fly into the sky, if nothing else, he wants to stay here for a few years, how to use the time of these years to build his own future, it is a very urgent matter, whether it is the death of Emperor Wen and the resentment of the Gao family on the throne of King Jin, or the ensuing chaos at the end of the Sui Dynasty, if you want to stand still or even survive your head, you need strong strength, this is where you start.

The original Yingzhou general soldier was already in a hurry, knowing that the heavy snow was blocking the road, for fear that Gao Chong would not be able to arrive in time, but he didn't expect Gao Chong to arrive on time.

Yingzhou has a total garrison of 20,000, 10,000 infantry, 5,000 cavalry and 5,000 archers, forming the main defenders, and 10,000 strong men for logistics services, under the jurisdiction of two fortresses, into horns to guard in front of the left and right of Yingzhou, the right is also called the left forward battalion, the defenders are two thousand, the right is called the right forward battalion, it is also two thousand defenders, the geographical location of the two military camps is very important, they are located on a hill, Yingzhou is the most important place is a variety of hills.

Gao Chong came to Yingzhou and did not rush to replace the army generals, but asked Yingzhou Sima to take out the topographic map of Yingzhou, which is different from other guards, because every commander-in-chief, the first thing to adjust is the position of these partial generals and captains, as long as you grasp these generals in your hands, you can command these armies like an arm.

And this new guard general didn't pay attention to these people, but looked at the topographic map, which made the generals with a heart beating really puzzled, what does this new adult mean? Why don't you wait for yourself to give a gift? But we are just partial generals and captains, and we are still reluctant to support our families with that little salary every year, so what do we give as gifts?

Not to mention the generals muttering in private, just talking about Gao Chong, he called Sima over to inquire in detail about the geographical environment of Yingzhou's jurisdiction, the terrain that extends for hundreds of miles, the local customs and so on.

Sima was the later staff officer, and the boss wanted to ask, but he thought it was a test for himself, so he naturally tried his best to show off.

First of all, he said: "The biggest hidden danger in the jurisdiction of Yingzhou is that there are too many bandits, there are thirteen large and small in total, and the total number is between 30,000 and 50,000. ”

Gao Chong didn't care about this, but Xiuyan, watching Sima Kou Ruohanghe talk about these bandits, Gao Chong listened to him with a strong temperament, while inspecting the map, and finally waited for him to finish speaking, Gao Chong pointed to the map: "What is this place?" ”

"This place is called Phoenix Mountain, the terrain is dangerous to be easy to defend and difficult to attack, the famous flying knife lady among the bandits occupies here, here is rich in red pine and other timber, especially the pine mushroom produced every year is a must."

Flying knife lady? Hehe, I don't know how it compares to Hu Sanniang's flying knife?

"What about here?" Gao Chong put his finger to Xiu Yan to the side.

"This is Xiuyan, named after the discovery of Xiuyu, but this place borders with Goguryi, which belongs to the Sanzhi region, and there are also three of the largest bandits who control here, and the Xiuyu rough stones mined every year are bought and sold by them."

This is it!

Gao Chong was overjoyed in his heart, and then he began to ask about these bandits, thirteen bandits, thirty or fifty thousand bandits, this is a lot of power, if you can catch it in your hands, with a little training, this is an elite soldier.

After Sima's report, Gao Chong ordered him to go down first, Gao Chong closed his eyes to recuperate, and only opened his eyes after a while, Yan Chengfang saw Gao Chong open his eyes, and asked impatiently: "Big brother, do you want to take down all these bandits?" ”

Gao Chong shook his head, "The bandits are just hanging, keep them first, and the first task is Xiuyan." ”

Yu Hualong said: "Big brother wants to occupy Xiuyu Mine? "Of course, everyone knows what the price of jade is, but now that the famous Xiuyu is in his own jurisdiction, how can this piece of fat be eaten by others?

Gao Chong smiled: "Hualong's appetite is too big, do you know that Xiuyan is big?" And once one party masters it, I am afraid that it will cause other people's eyes to be red, and it is not good to eat alone. "Xiuyu reserves are so rich, even if they are still endless after a thousand years, so Gao Chong doesn't want to dominate Xiuyan, and the result of dominating Xiuyu Mine will be hit by Gao Juli, Sui Army, and bandits.

"Hualong understands, the younger brother is short-sighted, thank you for the advice of the eldest brother." Yu Hualong is also a smart person, so he can naturally see through.

Gao Chong nodded with satisfaction, "Hualong, this task is entrusted to you, you take Tie Niu and Zhang Qing to Xiuyan to seize a site to mine Xiuyu rough stones, if these people don't come to find trouble, it's okay, if they come to find trouble, resolutely crack down." ”

"Yes."

"In short, we don't have to seize the best mining area in Xiuyu, but we must seize the largest territory."

"Understood." Only by occupying a larger territory can a larger mining area be obtained.

"None of the soldiers in Yingzhou can be used, just the three of you bare-bones commanders, so the first thing you have to do is to recruit troops, I don't care what you do, as long as you don't do things that hurt heaven and reason, I just want the result."

"Understood." This is good leadership, as long as the result does not care about the process.

"You go to Xuan'er and withdraw a thousand hanging money, and set off immediately."

Hu Sanniang, Hua Mulan, and Qiu Qiongying were anxious: "Young master, what about us?" ”

Hu Sanniang said: "Young master, isn't there a flying knife lady in Phoenix Mountain?" I'll go and arrest her and make her a big girl for the young master. ”

"What's the hurry? These bandits will be cleaned up sooner or later, and now we have just arrived in Yingzhou, the first task is not to fight the bandits, but to rectify military affairs, and first build Yingzhou City into an iron bucket, we will have to live in Yingzhou in the next few years, the old nest is not stable, what else to propose? ”

The third girl turned around and walked out, Gao Chong hurriedly said, "Why are you going?" ”

"Go and beat up all those partial generals and captains, and see if anyone is not convinced, they will be beaten hard." The three women said in unison.

"Nonsense! Who dares to go to the family law to serve. Gao Chong shouted.

The three daughters' delicate bodies were shocked, this family law is too powerful, who knows where this little young master came from with so much energy and tricks, tossing people back and forth, really can't bear it, the three girls walked back obediently.

Yan Chengfang looked curious, and asked in a low voice: "Hu Sanniang, what is the eldest brother's family law?" Give us a reminder that we will be unlucky in the future? ”
