Yue Shaoan has always respected Gu Zhang very much, although he had been dissatisfied with Gu Zhang several times in the past because of his affairs with Gu Xiangning, but all this has passed. After he brought Gu Zhang to Song Shicheng, he disappeared completely, and regarded Gu Zhang as one of the most trustworthy people. However, today's events suddenly made him vigilant. Speaking of which, Gu Zhang is not Yue Shao'an's descendant, and Yue Shao'an has never cared too much about this before. After all, he knew that Gu Zhang would not harm him. But this time, it was different, although Yue Shaoan knew that Gu Zhang did not have any evil intentions in doing this, but political discord led to such a situation. If it weren't for the fact that Zhuo Yan learned about it before it expanded, once the army set out, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Yue Shao'an didn't talk to Gu Zhang for a long time, and not long after entering, he turned around and came out, as if he was just going to visit his father-in-law. However, it was in this short period of time that Gu Zhang was pushed out of the core of Song Shicheng by him.

As Yue Shao'an expected, Gu Zhang had already seen the shortcomings of Song Shicheng's battle with the emperor, so he opposed his use of troops in Dali. The reason why he didn't put forward an opinion was because he wanted to use gentle means to influence Yue Shaoan. However, he only saw the difficulties in front of him, but he didn't think about the future of Song Shicheng.

After all, although Gu Zhang is said to be smart, he has always been the prefect of Hangzhou, and his jurisdiction is only a small place, which makes his vision inevitably a little narrow, and he can only see the gains and losses of one city and one place, but he can't look ahead.

Yue Shao'an's actions are certainly a bit risky, but if he fails and builds a strong enemy, it will make Song Shicheng difficult, and even decay because of this, and there will be no chance to rise. However, Yue Shao'an knew that if he didn't take this risk, then Song Shicheng would still decline, maybe slower than now, and even within a few decades, as long as Yue Shao'an was there, this Song Shicheng could still be safe for a while. However, this is not the way to go. After going through so many things, Yue Shaoan is no longer the one who can be satisfied with just holding his wife and sleeping in the cage.

Now, his fate has been linked to too many people. The responsibilities on my shoulders are getting heavier and heavier, and I can no longer do what I like.

Looking back at the lonely courtyard again, Yue Shao'an felt a little sorry for Gu Zhang in his heart. Speaking of which, Gu Zhang is also for his good, but there are some mistakes in his approach. Since he handed over the internal affairs of Song Shicheng to him, Gu Zhang has always been very diligent, and now Song Shicheng can have such a prosperous scene, which is inseparable from his efforts. However, he deprived him of his rights at this time, and it was inevitable that he would cross the river and tear down the bridge. However, Yue Shaoan knew that he had to be ruthless. If you don't be ruthless now, the difference between the two will get bigger and bigger.

People like Gu Zhang are undoubtedly capable ministers who govern the world, but at this moment, the world that seems to be peaceful is surging, but there is an undercurrent, and it will soon become a troubled world.

In fact, throughout the ages, how many people can be like Cao Cao, "a capable minister who governs the world, and a traitor in troubled times"? Most of these well-educated people are capable ministers who govern the world and rice buckets in troubled times. Perhaps, after the world is calmed down, Yue Shao'an will use Gu Zhang again, but now he must not be used.

However, whether Gu Zhang can wait until that day is unknown. After thinking about it, Yue Shaoan actually felt a little sorry for this old father-in-law.

Before leaving, he whispered to an attendant and said, "Tell Mrs. Ning to take the young master to see Master Gu when she has time." ”

The squire agreed. Yue Shaoan didn't stop any longer and hurried away.

In Yue Shao'an's study, the moonlit night that had not appeared for a long time was still dressed in black, but now that the weather was hot, her black clothes had turned into a black gauze skirt, and under her slender figure, there was a faint hint of seductive skin.

Yue Shaoan ordered him to go to Dali to inquire about the news, she had just returned, and before she had time to rest, she reported the results of her trip like Yue Shaoan. Dali's side had already begun to guard against Song Shicheng. In particular, Dongchuan County sent an additional 50,000 people as early as when Yue Shao'an had just returned to Song Shicheng, and the general Xu Cheng was also transferred here.

Xu Cheng is the most effective general under Duan Yiming, who once made great achievements when he pacified Jingyun, and now he is transferred here, undoubtedly attaches great importance to Dongchuan County. I'm afraid that Duan Yiming had already guarded against this place when he betrayed Yue Shao'an.

After Yue Shao'an heard this, his brows furrowed. Take Dali, you must first take Dongchuan County, this is the granary of Dali, if you take it here, it will be extremely shocking to the whole Dali. Moreover, it can solve the problem of poor transportation of grain and grass in the deep reaches of the army. But the current movement of Dali gave him a headache and no countermeasures.

Because he knew that with the current situation of Song Shicheng, he could not suffer defeat. If you lose the battle, then the problems left over from the previous war will be highlighted, and it will be even more difficult to attack Dali at that time. It is even possible that the army will be defeated and collapsed.

Yue Shaoan looked at the map and left his eyes on the location of Shicheng County, however, after thinking about it, he still gave up this idea, although Shicheng County is also a place of production, but the place bordering Song Shicheng here is mostly mountainous, and the city passes here are mostly easy to defend and difficult to attack, and if you want to enter from here, the casualties will be proportional.

As for the most Ning Mansion in the south, it has to borrow the Song Land. Not to mention that the emperor is still guarding against Song Shicheng now, that is, he is not guarding against it, and taking advantage of it with such fanfare will also attract the attention of all forces at that time. Then, the strategy of surprise and victory will be a complete failure. At that time, he will face a well-defended Dali crossing the border, how to attack it.

It was at the time when Yue Shaoan was troubled. Gao Chong and Zhuo Yan came together. When the two arrived, the moonlit night quietly receded. Yue Shaoan didn't raise his head and let them in. Entering the study, the two of them saw that Yue Shaoan was staring at the map with frowns tightly locked, and they both had a little understanding in their hearts.

The intelligence system of the Supervision Department is more perfect, and the moon night also used the power of the Supervision Department when investigating the intelligence of Dali, so Zhuo Yan is also very familiar with the current situation in Dali. He naturally knew why Yue Shaoan was worried.

Zhuo Yan glanced back at Gao Chong, then at Yue Shao'an, and motioned for him to step forward and speak. Gao Chong shook his head and snorted at him.

Zhuo Yan turned around helplessly, clasped his fists and saluted, and asked softly, "Mr. Yue, is he worried about the matter of sending heavy troops to Dongchuan County?" ”

Yue Shao'an raised his head, let the two of them sit down and talk, and then said, "Well, Duan Yiming suddenly sent Xu Cheng to guard Dongchuan County, obviously because he was prepared. It seems that Dali is not easy to ......"

Zhuo Yan shook his head and said, "In my opinion, Yi Ming didn't necessarily know the news that we were going to send troops. He's just taking precautions. ”

"Oh?" Yue Shao Anqi said: "How do you say this? ”

"Mr. Yue, you think. The time when we decided to use troops against Dali was yesterday. Even if Dali's intelligence system was stronger than our Supervision Department, it would not have been possible to respond so quickly. Moreover, it is reported that Xu Cheng had already adjusted his defense half a month ago, so it seems that unless Duan Yiming is an unpredictable prophet, otherwise, this soldier is definitely not coming at us. At least, it wasn't because we knew that we were going to use troops against Dali to strengthen our defenses. ”

Yue Shao'an nodded thoughtfully, then his eyes lit up, and he said, "You two come here at this time, is it possible that you have already taken measures?" ”

Zhuo Yan stood up and said, "I don't have it, but Gao Chong seems to have it." ”

Yue Shao'an set his eyes on Gao Chong.

Gao Chong raised his head and chest, coughed lightly, and rubbed his throat again. Zhuo Yan flew up and kicked him in the ass, and said angrily: "When is it, still sell Guanzi, say it quickly." ”

Gao Chong glared back, then turned his head, smiled, and said, "Well...... Hey hey ......"
