Chapter 265: Westward for Reason
asked for attachment to the border fortress and asked officials at all levels to develop and manage the matter, Gao Yue called Han Yang and the others to communicate first to determine a general direction. Han Yong was very much in favor of this, saying that opening up the territory and expanding the territory would make great contributions to the country and the people. In addition to agreeing, Yang Ke also has deeper thinking.
"My lord, I can't hide it, my subordinates have been secretly thinking about the future development of our army since many days ago. In addition to opening up the Hetao in the north, which coincides with my intentions, my subordinates also thought that on the premise of resisting Liu Yao's westward advance, we should look for an opportunity to go south and occupy Liangzhou. Liangzhou is located in the northernmost part of Yizhou, which is considered the sphere of influence of Chengguo, but it is just a place of fetters. Moreover, Yang Maosou in Wudu is also said to be quite influential in the local area. Therefore, we can use Wudu as a springboard, give priority to occupying Hanzhong, and then quickly attack the land of the five counties of Liangzhou. As long as you make it clear that you will not invade Yizhou, I expect that most of Chengguo will not fight to the death with me, of course, if you start an army, our army should not be afraid of his Li family. ”
Yang Ke brushed the sleeves of his robe and said calmly: "If it goes well, the lord will control Qinzhou, Liangzhou and the Saibei Hetao in one fell swoop." When the household registration is full, the grain is harvested, and the number of tiger soldiers is more than 100,000, then the strength is not the same as now, and it has formed a siege of Chang'an. If Liu Yao can be expelled and Yongzhou can be recovered, then the lord will control the land of the four states alone, and he will already be the overlord of the world, and the royal industry will be successful, so he will ......go one step further."
Yang Ke suddenly closed his mouth, felt a little speechless, paused for a moment, and said with a smile: "In short, the rough idea of his subordinates is like this." But Ruth has to go step by step, the goal is ambitious, and she still has to do it conscientiously. Since the current goal is to conquer the north, then you can send capable civil and military officers there. The matter of Liangzhou will be postponed and left until the time is ripe. ”
In just a few words, Yang Ke outlined a clear grand blueprint for the future and a series of actions for his own forces. Gao Yue and Han Yong couldn't help but admire and admire from the bottom of their hearts, and they were even more aroused by his words, which aroused infinite longing and ambition.
Subsequently, the civil and military forces were convened and seriously discussed the acceptance of the Saibei matter. Unexpectedly, everyone almost unanimously agreed, and even Wang Kai, who has always been willing to drill the tip of the horns, also raised his hands in approval. It is said that it is rare for Deng Heng to take the initiative to attach, compared to the next day, if he sends troops to forcibly conquer, how much effort will be saved. However, there are still different voices on specific matters.
A group of people, led by Peng Jun, Feng Liang and others, proposed that they could immediately set up prefectures in their localities, select and send officials at all levels of counties and counties, and send more garrisons, the more the better, so as to deter the border fortress in a short period of time with a strong momentum. However, Miao Lan and others should not be so impatient, and should be enwei and use it step by step, giving both sides a period of adaptation, and after they are familiar with the people's feelings and the people's hearts are obedient, they will set up states and counties, and everything will go naturally.
In the end, Han Yong and Yang Ke both agreed with the latter opinion. Gao Yue made up his mind and awarded Deng Hengbi the title of general, so that Bao Chong, a scholar of Qinzhou, and Yang Tao, a rebellious general, were both 5,000 elites, and as the first batch of officers and soldiers to reclaim and govern, they went to the border with Deng Heng. Before parting, Gao Yue encouraged everyone to go north in person, to comfort the place, to deeply understand the will of the people, and never consciously command and act as a blessing. In short, to open up new soil, there is a long way to go, and we should be extra attentive and repeatedly encouraged.
This side has just left, and Qin Cha, who has come from Jiankang City, has seen Gao Yue in the dust. Now that the country has no owner, Sima Rui, the king of Langya, temporarily took the throne, called the Jin King Jianguo, and undertook the reform of the Yuan, although he has not yet been officially called the emperor, but he has basically been equal to the emperor.
Qin Cha announced the decree in person, Sima Rui not only completely agreed with Gao Yue's request for merit for his subordinates, but also vigorously praised Gao Yue's persuasion and support in the will, and expressed high appreciation. So in addition to the original official title unchanged, he was promoted to the great Sima, opened the palace with the three divisions, and allowed Gao Yue to undertake the worship system, and the officials of the three grades and below could be appointed by themselves.
This time, in addition to accepting the system and worship, Gao Yue resolutely resigned from all other prominent official positions, and in any case, he only repeatedly refused to accept it. In addition to the factors of turbulence of the times, the dust of the monarch, and the repeated promotion of courtiers, Gao Yue also secretly thought that after all, he was young and backward, and he only had a state in his hands, so he suddenly rose to a high position, and he would be the third duke in just a few years, so it would inevitably attract all kinds of bad attention from both sides of the enemy, and become the target of the world, which was equivalent to being roasted on the stove. It's better not to have these false names for the time being, at least when you have the strength to match, it's better to make a fortune in silence for now.
Qin Cha was helpless, quite admired, after returning to Jiankang, he reported truthfully, but won Gao Yue a reputation of loyalty, righteousness and humility for the government and the opposition.
After a few days, with the loud cry, Yao Chi finally gave birth to a baby girl, inside and outside the General's Mansion, in and out of the busy world. Yao Chi's parents came to Xiangwu a few days earlier from Xihe City, and now the mother and daughter are safe, and the rest is all kinds of personal things, Yao Chi's father is inconvenient to stay anymore, and Yao's mother stays to serve. It is worth mentioning that before and after Yao Chi's birth, Ji Yunshu often spontaneously came to help and take care of her, or chatted with her at the bedside to relieve boredom. In the many days of getting along, the two gradually became intimate, and even many private words were willing to share. Yao Chi was very grateful to her, and his relationship with her quickly became much closer.
Gao Yue was also suspended from his official duties. Although he is a strong leader who swallows mountains and rivers outside, but at this moment, at home, watching the maidservants, stable women, handymen and others going in and out, all cooking in an orderly manner, Gao Yue actually looks like a hairy guy, at a loss, and doesn't know what to do. He had to look at the baby blankly, wanting to reach out and hug it, but he felt quite clumsy, for fear that the uneven force would hurt the child. Looking at the pink, but wrinkled and slightly swollen little face, Gao Yue had mixed feelings in his heart, this was an amazing experience he had never had, and it was even more exciting.
When Yao Chi heard that it was a girl, he was a little disappointed and sighed for a while. So everyone came to persuade her, and Gao Yue also stroked her forehead, and comforted her gently, so that Yao Chi burst into tears and laughed. In the following days, officials at all levels in Xiangwu City, and even all parts of Qinzhou, sent envoys or personally came to congratulate, and enthusiastically offered their heartfelt blessings. Gao Yue has no lord's pretense, not only greets him with a smile, but also tries his best to entertain guests personally, and sometimes humbly asks for some parenting scriptures when he meets officials and their families, which provokes a kind laugh.
Gao Yue also asked Yang Ke to name it on his behalf, Yang Ke was very solemn and did not dare to be careless, and felt that he was more troublesome than he usually made plans for military and political affairs. He thought about it seriously for two whole days before he came up with the word "Zhen". It is from the Book of Poetry. The peach is dying, and its leaves are full of vitality, describing the flourishing and vibrant appearance of the peach tree, and also refers to the praise of the woman's beautiful face and beautiful life. Yang Ke also said that the word Zhen is from the word Qin, which is also very appropriate to the current situation that Gao Yue is the lord of Qinzhou and has a daughter.
Gao Yue was very satisfied, so he officially named his eldest daughter Gao Zhen. Countless guests naturally praised Yang Changshi for not only being able to strategize and be full of wisdom, but also a knowledgeable Confucian, with Yang Changshi and other all-rounders, the lord can sit back and relax.
The so-called good things come in pairs. No one expected that within a few days, Ji Yunshu would retching again and again. Gao Yue was a little nervous, thinking that Ji Yunshu was taking care of Yao Chi during this time, and he was tired from exhaustion, so he hurriedly called Lang Zhong to come for treatment. As a result, as soon as Lang Zhong's hand was on the pulse, he put on a smile on his face, and congratulated the general straightly, and Mrs. Ji was happy. Gao Yue was still not at ease, and invited three or four Langzhong in a row, and the capital was happy to be healthy and vigorous, and the general would add heirs.
Yao Chi congratulated Ji Yunshu with a smile in turn. Ji Yunshu's head hung down slightly, but his beautiful eyes flashed with joy. Gao Yue only knew that he was grinning stupidly beside him, and he couldn't say anything else just because he was good, but he was made fun of by Yao and Ji.
As a result, Ji Yunshu was also regarded as a national treasure, and he was taken care of in various strict and meticulous ways. Ji Yunshu originally said that she was just pregnant now, and she didn't need to pay so much attention, but Gao Yue said very affectionately, Yun Niang promised to follow without hesitation, so she was more obligated to try her best to live a good life. When Ji Yunshu heard this, his heart was extremely sweet, and he wanted to be drunk like drinking.
When the craze of the joy of making tiles passed easily, and life slowly returned to calm, Feng Liang came back in the dust, and after congratulating Gao Yue on his daughter, he also reported the harvest of this trip truthfully.
Some time ago, after Li Bao was subdued, Gao Yue suddenly remembered something, and in order to confirm and arrange follow-up actions, he personally sent Feng Liang to Liangzhou to secretly investigate relevant clues for him.
"According to the eldest brother's confession, I went with Duochai, brought capable people, not only quietly inquired on the four sides of Guzang City, but also went to the Dunhuang area as far as the farthest to inquire in private. According to various clues and characteristics, this person was finally found, and it should be right. Also, we are secretive, and this person does not know about it. ”
Gao Yue raised his eyebrows, nodded and said, "Can you guarantee it?" ”
Feng Liang said firmly: "Among the several characteristics listed by the eldest brother for me, the age matches, the place of origin matches, and the appearance is also very similar, and the current identity is also similar to the eldest brother's estimate." I think he should be the person the big brother is looking for. But I really don't understand what the eldest brother is looking for this person to do? ”
"You don't need to ask for the specific reason. Wait until the future, and you should understand. Gao Yue smiled a little mysteriously, stroked his chin and looked into the distance, and his face flashed with a little expectation.
