"You take my money and raise the morale of others, what do you eat?" Obviously, Li Erhu was very impatient with the senator's preaching, and Gao Huan had heard enough of these words. The senator was speechless by him, Li Erhu felt a little embarrassed to this scholar when he saw this, and said a little softly at the moment: "I mean whether Chen Xianda is really that powerful Now no one knows, you must know that I asked you to give advice, not for you to shake the hearts of the army." ”

The senator's face was red and white for a while, and it was not easy to lose his temper at the moment, so he could only stand aside with a blue face and no longer speak. Li Erhu turned to the others and asked, "You don't have any good ideas to contribute ******?" One by one, they took my military pay. ”

Everyone, you look at me, I see that no one has spoken, and I guess I also feel that no matter what I say, I will be refuted by Li Erhu. The atmosphere was a little awkward for a while, Li Erhu was very bored and a little annoyed when he saw this, and said: "You have to go, you wastes go down, hurry up and prepare for tomorrow's action, I'll think of a way myself." ”

Everyone turned around and left one after another when they heard this, Li Erhu put his legs on the desk, and the whole person lay in the tiger skin chair, and began to close his eyes leisurely. He really needs to calm down.

Chen Xianda's troops were uncertain, and did not take the official road of Dalu Qiaojun, but bypassed from the direction of Chenliu in Yuzhou, and crossed three rivers one after another: Lianshui, Jishui and Suishui, and appeared directly in Dingtao in the south of Pengcheng.

At this time, Li Erhu's troops were still hovering in front of Qian County and Liang County, and when Gao Huan sent someone to tell him about the situation, he thought that Gao Huan was joking with him. How could it be that Chen Xianda didn't take the easy road, but had to cross the mountains and mountains to cross the three rivers to Dingtao. But when Li Erhu led the troops to Dingtao, he found that Chen Xianda had been supported by An Daoquan. Those who were waiting for him to come, and there were 10,000 horses of King Fadu, who had made a comeback, in the city.

Li Erhu can be said to be extremely unlucky. As soon as he and Chen Xianda's troops engaged, they were defeated, and they could only retreat to Quegu to wait for Gao Huan's reinforcements.

Gao Huan could only send Murong Shaozong to lead 20,000 people to support him after receiving the current report, this Chen Xianda is a powerful general, and he is still able to resist Gao Huan's two reinforcements at the same time, now Gao Huan has no way to take him for a while, at this moment Murong Heng once again showed his superb strategy, and there were only eight words on the secret letter he asked Gao Huan to send: attack the heart first, please the people.

Gao Huan thought about it in the barracks for three days, and finally understood what the old master meant. Sending Guan Yi and Gao Zhongming to operate like this, several vicious incidents occurred in the south of Xuzhou within a few days, and a group of thieves dressed in the Southern Liang Army acted as traitors everywhere in Pingyang County and Lintong County, robbing the people. This incident had a great impact on Chen Xianda, he relied on the support of the local people in Dingtao for defense, and now these black cauldrons have to be carried by him, imagine how the local people will think of him, how will they treat his expeditionary force?

No matter how Chen Xianda explains this matter, it is useless, and he can only describe it more and more black. But if he doesn't come out to explain, he can't be angry, it's really a dilemma. He could only secretly scold Gao Huan for being too inferior, and he did everything like this, and he really did all the tricks.

The landlords and chaebols of Xiapi came and wanted to welcome back Cao Xian after Murong Shaozong's troops withdrew. However, as soon as he heard that Chen Xianda's subordinates were acting so recklessly in Xuzhou, and Gao Huan's practice of opening a warehouse to provide grain to win the hearts of the people was in vogue, no one was willing to stand up and rebel.

When the common people are full, they want a stable life. They are reluctant to rebel, and even hostile to those who hate the rebels. Because of the fear of being implicated in an innocent case, the entire territory of Xuzhou. Except for the three isolated cities of Pengcheng, Dingtao and Weicheng, all other places have restored tranquility and returned to the embrace of the Eastern Wei Dynasty.

This was what Chen Xianda, Cao Xian, and Wang Fadu did not want to see, and with the successful implementation of the attack plan, even Pengcheng finally fell. Xian Yupu didn't have time to get dressed and escaped, but was caught by Gao Huan's men. In fact, Pengcheng had people who were happy as early as when they were besieged, and the robbery and murder incident of the Southern Liang Army was just a flashpoint.

The people of Xuzhou are good at fighting on the one hand, but more importantly, they are united, and it is rare for them to be able to share the same hatred within a state, which is almost impossible to see in other states. Otherwise, Liu Bang, Xiao He, Cao Cao, and these people would not have come out.

With the fall of Pengcheng, Chen Xianda's life in Xuzhou was even more difficult, and it was only a matter of time before he retreated, but how could Gao Huan let him escape back to Liang State, and the drama of the good annihilation and then negotiation must be played out according to the script. So the small small city of Dingtao was surrounded by Gao Huan's 100,000 troops, and Wang Fadu, who was in the city, had already fled to Beiyangzhou.

Don't ask me why Gao Huan's men and horses are fighting more and more, those who win the hearts of the people win the world, what is it if there are more people? Chen Xianda didn't want to die inexplicably in the hands of Gao Huan, so he tried every means to defend the city, tried every way to ask for help, and Xiao Yan, Emperor Wu of Liang, personally led the army to the north of Bianzhou, but he didn't dare to cross the Huai River to support him.

Gao Huan originally wanted to destroy Chen Xianda who was negotiating with Xiao Yan, but Xiao Yan didn't want Chen Xianda to die in Gao Huan's hands, so he also gave up a check with a large denomination: 500,000 silver plus three years to pay tribute to the Eastern Wei Dynasty. However, Gao Huan felt that Xiao Yan's sincerity was not enough to raise the price here, one million silver, five years to pay tribute to the Eastern Wei Dynasty, and he had to pay three years of tribute in advance, a total of 2.2 million silver, before Chen Xianda could be released back to Liang.

Xiao Yan was really unwilling to pay such a big price in exchange for Chen Xianda, so Gao Huan continued to attack the city day and night, the entire outer city of Dingtao was reduced to scorched earth, the city wall was smashed by catapults, and even the city wall of the north gate collapsed for a while.

Xiao Yan saw that Gao Huan was serious about killing Chen Xianda, and the situation was becoming more and more critical, out of consideration for a comeback in the future, he could only agree to Gao Huan's negotiation conditions, Xiao Yan felt that it was worth exchanging money for a capable general. After all, only with people can there be a chance to turn the tables in the future, what is the use of guarding a pile of money? What's more, it took such a big price to redeem Chen Xianda. Then he can't die even more desperately for Liang Guo?

Combining the above factors, Chen Xianda escaped back to Liang without dying. But Xiao Yan may not have imagined that this Chen Xianda's son Chen Baxian would destroy the Liang State in the future and establish the Chen Dynasty in his place, so the ending of some things is often so ironic.

In the secret letter from the old master to Gao Huan, he told him not to let Chen Xianda go, but the secret letter was sent too late, the day before he had already let the remnants of Chen Xianda go south to return to Liang State, at this time, even if he chased after Murong Heng's intentions, it would be useless, Chen Xianda and his subordinates were afraid that they would have already entered the territory of the two countries.

The next thing was originally like this, Gao Huan appeased the people of Xuzhou, planted a few henchmen in important positions, and left a large number of garrisons to return to the court. But the storyline did not develop smoothly like this, and Gao Huan encountered an interesting thing during his time in Xuzhou, which made his trip in Xuzhou finally delay for nearly two months.

After taking over Xuzhou again, Gao Huan asked Xu Mingzhi to re-select the supervisors of each state and county according to Murong Heng's intentions, so all the officials at all levels were eliminated, and a large number of relatively honest and promising young officials were reappointed and promoted.

Xu Mingzhi described Yang Xiuzhi in his official letter to Gao Huan as follows: arrogant and arrogant. The export is not inferior, it is not involved in official business, it is greedy and lustful, and it is unbearable to be the official of a county. Without the example of a scribe, he should be eliminated and retired to his hometown. Gao Huan thought that this Yang Xiuzhi must have spent money through the back door to get in, so he asked Qingluo to go down privately to find out his details.

Who knew that the news that Qingluo came back to report it surprised him very much. This Yang Xiu's family has no money to spare and is poor, and when he was young, he was still a famous Ren Xia in Shandong. What is Ren Xia? is a hero who robs the rich and helps the poor, which shows that he can still be literate and martial. Later, he was accepted as a disciple by Ruan Yuanlin, a famous old master in Shandong, and has been eager to learn since then.

This Yang Xiu's family has no background. The family is an ordinary person, and the reason why they can serve as Suyu Taishou is completely based on their own real talents.

"In this way, this person is still the protégé of the old master Murong Heng, hasn't he presided over the imperial examinations over the years. But I don't have any imprint on this man, if he's as good as you say. Gao Huan put down the secret letter in his hand and turned his head to ask Qingluo.

Qingluo snorted coldly and said: "I didn't say that he was powerful, don't wronged people, the people I interviewed told me that he was a clean and good official, that he was talented, and that he was more than enough to be the prime minister with his ability, but unfortunately he was born at the wrong time, and he was just and naturally unable to be promoted." ”

"So it's my fault, I'm mediocre, which has led to a dark officialdom in Shandong." Gao Huan laughed. Qingluo glanced at him angrily and said, "You said it yourself, I didn't say it, but what you said is actually right." ”

"Hey, what's that your name? Yes? Gao Huan was a little unhappy at that time, no matter how he was a modern intellectual who had been educated in the new era in the future, how could he compare with the pedantic scholars thousands of years ago, he was very unconvinced at that time, and said to Qingluo: "According to what you say, I really want to meet this talented but extraordinary Wolong." ”

Qinglong was noncommittal when he heard this, and said expressionlessly: "Whatever you want, I tell you everything I should say, I'm tired, go down and rest first, you can watch slowly." ”

Gao Huan hurriedly stopped her and said, "What are you anxious about, stay with me for a while, I still have something to ask you for help with." Qingluo looked at Gao Huan's ill-intentioned eyes, knew what he was thinking, and said very coldly at the moment: "Don't you want to know how to be crooked, believe it or not, I castrated you?" Move! ”

Gao Huan felt embarrassed to be seen through, and hurriedly said, "Look at you, you're angry again!" It's not cute at all. Seeing that Qing Luo Tie was about to pull out the knife with a blue face, he quickly got out of the way and hid to the side. This little girl uses a knife when she doesn't agree with her, this habit is too bad. Qingluo turned around and went out to close the door, stood at the door and covered her mouth and smiled softly, and then left quickly.

Yang Xiuzhi is only twenty-six years old this year, six years younger than Gao Huan, his ancestral home is Yi County, Hebei, and later when the Wuhu Chaos was in China, his ancestors moved south to Qingzhou, Shandong, and then because of his erudition, he served as the director of Qingzhou County, and even became the governor of Qingzhou Prefecture. Later, Yang Xiuzhi's great-grandfather generation gradually declined.

Yang Xiuzhi lost his father at a young age, lost his mother at the age of 14, and lived with his uncle Yang Yanzhi since he was a child. In addition, Yang Xiuzhi has been extremely smart since he was a child, has the ability to never forget, learns things quickly, and has a flexible brain, so he has been deeply loved by Yang Yanzhi since he was a child.

It's a pity that when he was eighteen years old, Yang Xiuzhi was Ren Xia and caused a big trouble in a life lawsuit. In desperation, in order to retain his brother's bloodline, Yang Yanzhi forced him to abandon martial arts and literature, and went through many ways to find a way to let Ruan Yuanlin, a scholar of Confucian University, accept him as a closed disciple. Since then, Yang Xiuzhi's literary attainments have grown impressively. (To be continued.) )
