That night, under the all-round three-dimensional attack of the Chu army, the Liang army suffered heavy losses, none of the 30,000 vanguard troops who first landed on the shore survived, more than 20 large and small warships were sunk and burned, and 11 generals above the fifth grade, including Liang Bang, the general of the right military guard, Jiang Fei of Wu Benlang, and Jin Xuancheng, the general of Yingyanglang, were killed on the south bank of the Tianshui River.

In this battle, General Cao Da also went into battle, but when the Chu army attacked, General Cao had not yet landed, and the boat he was on was in the middle of the river. Cao Yingchun saw that the Chu soldiers were exhausted, the vanguard was lost, and his eyes were about to be split, so he hurriedly commanded the warship to retreat, and personally pressed the formation, and the command ship was almost connected with the opponent's short soldiers, and even Cao Yingchun was in the middle of the arrow, which shows the fierceness of the battle.

The Liang army was unfavorable, the soldiers were sluggish, and then under the suggestion of Li Shuqin, several more attacks were organized, but their preparations were in a hurry and there was a shortage of materials, and the Chu State was just the opposite, Lin Xiaochong had been operating for a long time, and defensive materials and defensive means were endless. As a result, repeated attacks could only increase casualties, but did not achieve any effect.

In fact, when the battle was fought to this extent, no matter who saw it, this southern expedition was a complete failure and could not be fought. But this is not a group fight, seeing that the situation is not good, it is just that he ran away, and he poured the strength of the whole country and spent countless silver to build such a big formation, which is not to say that he will withdraw. Whether it is General Cao and Li Shuqin in front, or Emperor Shunzheng and Guo Hua in the rear, it is difficult to ride a tiger.

At the beginning of May, the Southern Expeditionary Army had not built an inch, and was even attacked by Lin Xiaochong to the north bank, although the losses were small, but the nature was too bad, and it was almost a naked mockery of the Liang army.

The atmosphere in Liang was depressed, and everyone was depressed, especially Guo Hua, who was almost single-handedly promoted by the Southern Expedition at the beginning, and the battle was like this, Guo Hua's face became more and more cloudy day by day, and he was about to squeeze out water.

Since He Sanjin took refuge in Guo Hua, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that he had made a good move, although Guo Hua was just a squire like himself at the moment, but he was a celebrity in front of the emperor, and his words were more effective than anyone else. He Sanjin, who is good at figuring out people's hearts, naturally noticed Guo Hua's embarrassment, and on the day he became a general, he heard with his own ears that Guo Hua was going to invite Yang Yu to drink on the day of the triumph of the Southern Expedition.

He Sanjin hurriedly racked his brains to find a way to resolve Guo Hua's embarrassment. On this day, when the dynasty was dispersed, He Sanjin looked for Guo Hua, went to a secluded and uninhabited place, and said to Guo Hua: "Guo Shilang, there is a suggestion under the door, I think that Lord Yang Yuyang of Miaoshu Province is young and promising, but he can take on a big responsibility, and he is too wronged to serve as a secretary and supervisor." ”

Guo Hua was stunned for a moment when he heard this, saw He Sanjin's cunning eyes, knew that there must be something next, and asked, "Oh?" What do you mean? ”

"It's better to go out and be in charge."

When Guo Hua heard this, he was overjoyed, then he didn't have to face Yang Yu in the future, but he thought about it again, Yang Yu is now the secretary and supervisor of Zhengsanpin, and if he is released, it will be unless he is the history of Shangzhou. At present, there are three levels of administration in Daliang, state, county, and county, but the official position of the state assassin is actually a supervisory official, and does not deal with specific government affairs, and has the right to supervise the counties in the state.

Yang Yu is only in his early twenties, and he is the secretary of the province, although he is the most idle yamen, but after all, he has real power, so if he is released like this, the meaning of exclusion is too obvious, right?

couldn't help but hesitate: "This ...... Is it appropriate? ”

He Sanjin listened to Guo Hua's worries, and was very disappreciative in his heart, the heart of the scholar is hypocritical, and he wants to be a bitch and set up an archway, his eyes rolled and said: "If the adult thinks it is not suitable, we can give him military power, and when there is a history of assassination with military power, this is really lacking, no one can say anything, right?" ”

Guo Hua glared at He Sanjin: "Bringing troops?" Do you say that Your Majesty agrees? "There is a precedent for leading troops in the history of assassination, but Emperor Shunzheng knows best about King Yan's jealousy, and Yang Yu is deeply branded by King Yan, and it was because of this that Emperor Shunzheng directly and secretly suggested to Emperor Xian to get Yang Yu to go to Guozijian.

He Sanjin didn't care, and said with a smile: "Have you forgotten Liaozhou?" ”

Guo Hua let out an "ah" and immediately understood He Sanjin's intentions.

The reason why Guo Hua didn't consider Liaozhou at all was because this state was theoretically the one of the Great Liang, but the Great Liang had no actual control over this land at all.

Liaozhou is more northeast than Yanzhou, the fief of King Yan, the weather is cold, the Han people are few, and there are many different races, and he was the father of Emperor Dexing, who conquered this land and established Liaozhou. It's a pity that Liaozhou is sparsely populated and basically indoctrinated, so not only does it have no taxes, but it also has to be upside down. After the war, there were many wars, and the Liang had no energy to take care of it, and even the yamen was withdrawn, but on the map, it was still the land of the Liang State.

Emperor Dexing in Dexing fifteen years, and remembered Liaozhou, sent people to make a history, but also has military power, as a result, the first Liaozhou assassin history, not long after going, the yamen has not been built, offended the local natives, was beaten to death.

Emperor Dexing hurriedly sent the second Assassin History, but before the second Assassin Shi reached the boundary, he was caught by the wild men on the mountain, and the entourage who fled back was almost stupid, saying that the second Raz History was eaten by the wild people, or eaten raw, and it was not dipped in salt......

Emperor Dexing was helpless, and sent the third Rashi, but this time the unlucky guy heard it, patted his ass and left, and he was not an official! Immediately, the state of Chu was restless again, and Emperor Dexing never mentioned this stubble again.

If Yang Yu is sent, it will be equivalent to indirectly killing him. Guo Hua snorted, didn't say anything, and walked away. He Sanjin didn't know what Guo Hua meant, so he could only scold stupidly: "Cut, what are you pretending to be high!" ”

He Sanjin thought that Guo Hua was not satisfied, so he went back and continued to think of a way. As a result, a few days later, Emperor Shunzheng, who was helpless, issued an order to let the southern expeditionary army return to the north, Guo Hua really suggested to Emperor Shunzheng that Yang Yu be transferred to Liaozhou to assassinate the history, and He Sanjin told him to Shunzheng again.

Emperor Shunzheng had seen that Yang Yu was not pleasing to the eye, and Yang Yu insisted on opposing the matter of the Southern Expedition, if it weren't for the fact that he had been supplying silver to the inner treasury, I was afraid that he would have found an excuse to take it earlier, and he was willing to send Yang Yu to Beijing, but when he heard that he was allowed to lead the troops, he still muttered in his heart.

Guo Hua said: "Your Majesty can rest assured, we won't send him troops, and allow him to recruit county soldiers by himself, but in Liaozhou, how many Han people are there, that is, how many soldiers can all the people have?" ”

Seeing that Emperor Shunzheng was still hesitating, Guo Hua said again: "Although there is no explicit provision for the county soldiers of a county, there are generally no more than 10,000 soldiers, and Your Majesty can stipulate that he should not exceed this number when he gives an order." ”

Emperor Shunzheng heard that 10,000 county soldiers really didn't deserve anything, the first Liaozhou assassin that year, with 20,000 government soldiers, was still beaten to death, so he promised, and ordered Xiao Xiangzi to draw up a decree.

Xiao Xiangzi heard the conversation between the two gentlemen and ministers just now, and thought to himself, isn't this a trap for Lord Yang to die? Worried but helpless, the holy will has been decided, what can he do as a little eunuch?

Suddenly, there was an idea, what Guo Shilang said just now is very knowledgeable, as long as I change slightly, there will be no upper limit for Lord Yang's recruitment. But is this a pretentious decree?

Xiao Xiangzi thought of his parents who died tragically at the hands of Changhe dog thieves, and thought of his sister's happy and satisfied expression now, and his mind slowly became firm, it was time for me to repay Lord Yang.
