Chapter 248: The Great General
The Kwantung coalition army collapsed, and Meng Ge shot indiscriminately on the side of the Yellow River, Liu Biao didn't know if he was dead or not, but the surname of the dead was very large, and the small raft was almost full of feather arrows, so that Liu Biao could still live, and Meng Ge had nothing to say, who made the family die.
Looking at the raft drifting downstream, Mongo stood up and said with a smile: "Let's go, let's leave it to the downstream interceptors, our mission has been completed!" ”
"Yes!" Xiahou Lan responded, and began to command everyone to disassemble again, but this time it was not in a hurry, the enemy was basically finished, and it didn't matter if it was slow.
The next task is to confirm Liu Biao's life and death, the raft is still drifting, but it is impossible to confirm this, but Meng Ge is not worried about Liu Biao, he is worried about another person, Cao Ying has not been found yet, and he is really well hidden, this is the real troublemaker.
As soon as he didn't kill this guy, Meng Ge felt uncomfortable, but where this guy was hiding, it was completely unknown, in such a big place, this guy was hidden tightly, which made Meng Ge surprised tightly, he doubted whether Cao Ying was a mouse, too fucking to hide.
Moving all the way, Meng Ge suddenly said to Dian Wei: "Dian Wei, do you think Cao Mengde will become a mouse and hide underground?" ”
"Underground!" Dian Wei's head tilted, his eyes were suddenly dazed, this kind of whimsical idea is novel, but if you think about it carefully, it is very possible, although the weather is cold, but the underground is not so cold, if you really dig a hole to hide underground, maybe it is really no problem.
After thinking about it for a long time, Dian Wei had to say: "General, this hiding underground seems to be a bit possible!" But the problem is that we are hiding underground, how can we find them, unless we dig three feet into the ground, we will definitely not be able to find them. ”
"That's right!" Meng Ge nodded helplessly, within a radius of several hundred miles, if the enemy really found a place to drill into the ground, I am afraid that there is really no way, unless they show their feet, they don't want to find them at all.
This is calculated, this time maybe I really can't help Cao Ying, give up crossing the Yellow River, hide in the most dangerous place, this may be another way out, as the saying goes, the most dangerous place is the safest, not to mention whether Meng Ge can think of it, even if he thinks of it, if Cao Ying really hides underground, Meng Ge really can't help it.
Dian Wei asked in a low voice: "That general, Cao Ying really hid underground, so what should we do?" ”
Meng Ge suddenly rolled his eyes, and said helplessly: "What should I do, cold salad, otherwise will you really dig three feet into the ground?" ”
Dian Wei finally breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, he was really afraid that Meng Ge would let him dig three feet into the ground, this workload would be large, this radius of hundreds of miles, this can only be dug in the year of the monkey, just thinking about Dian Wei shuddered, digging three feet into the ground is not a good errand.
The two left here, a lot has passed since the agreed time, Meng Ge has to hurry up, although he can't dig three feet into the ground, but he still has to look for it, he can't be sure if there is anything else to find, since he accidentally found Liu Biao, maybe he can also find Cao Ying inadvertently.
Anyway, try the whole try, no one knows the result if you don't try, and Cao Ying is not sure that he will also show his feet, this is not an opportunity, since there is a chance, you have to try it.
Regarding the confirmation of Liu Biao's life and death, this matter was handed over to the people downstream, Meng Ge was powerless, he couldn't let his subordinates play with his life in the cold, he didn't even have a decent boat, he couldn't go to confirm it at all, if he swam over, it was purely looking for death, Meng Ge would not let his men go down to die.
Even later, within the scope of the war zone, Meng Ge carried out a large-scale investigation, but he never found any trace of Cao Ying, this guy was like evaporating from the world, there was no trace, and he didn't know where to hide, this time Meng Ge was out of temper.
Seeing that the time limit was getting closer and closer, Meng Ge had to rush to Luoyang, because there were more important things to deal with there, defeated the Kwantung princes, and now was the time to march into Kwantung, this is a critical period, whether the world can be unified in a short period of time, depends on whether it can be successfully advanced.
Compared with the water dog Cao Mengde, it is obviously more important to march into the Kanto region, although the Kwantung princes were broken, but their remnants are quite a lot, although there is no Taishou, for a while can not turn over any big waves, but if you don't recover, it will definitely be troublesome in the future.
Taking advantage of the defeat of the Kwantung princes, recovering the land of Kwantung is the main task, otherwise it will not be beautiful to let others occupy it, Mongo doesn't want to make wedding dresses for others, and finally destroyed the Kwantung princes, but he turned around and was robbed of the fruits of victory by others, this kind of thing Mongo doesn't do.
If anyone dares to snatch the fruits of his victory, Meng Ge will definitely not spare it, and it will inevitably be another big war at that time, of course, it is absolutely not impossible to do it at this juncture, on the contrary, it is still very possible, because Yuan Shao and others are dead, Jizhou and other places are temporarily ownerless, if they are not taken back, some people will definitely look at it.
After half a month of searching, according to the agreed plan, Meng Ge came to Luoyang on time, the former capital, but now it has been dilapidated, the tattered streets, the slightest can not see the prosperity of the past, just a year and a half, Luoyang has completely changed, it is really embarrassing.
Walking on the streets of the past, Meng Ge couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable, looking at those dilapidated houses, Meng Ge shook his head helplessly, this is the sin of Dong Zhuo in the past, if it weren't for the good deeds done by Dong Fatzi, Luoyang today may still be prosperous, and it will become like this.
After a slight pause, Xia Houlan reminded: "General, it's time to go, the military division is still waiting!" ”
Meng Ge waved his hand boringly, and said slowly: "I know, don't be in such a hurry, don't look at the urgency of the military advisor, I bet that he has already done the redone, and we will just go through the motions, and I don't care if I stay for such a moment!" ”
Seeing that Meng Ge was still slow, Xia Houlan had no choice but to say helplessly: "Eh, general, this Luoyang has time to see, we don't have to worry, right?" ”
"Why don't you kid just go on the road like this!" Meng Ge looked at Xia Houlan viciously, he couldn't rest for a while, although his status had changed, but there were more and more things, and he didn't even have a free time, and finally finished the battle, and then he was about to start recovering Kanto, but Meng Ge was a little tired.
When Xia Houlan heard Meng Ge's tone, he immediately shrank his neck, but he knew that Meng Ge had always taken his surname, and if he wanted to make him angry, there would be no good fruit to eat, and now the sky was still dark, but there was no need to rush to urge.
However, Xiahoulan does not urge Meng Ge, but it does not mean that others do not urge, Guo Jia learned that Meng Ge arrived in Luoyang, and came over early to invite him, during this time, Meng Ge's whereabouts were erviant, a while here, a while and elsewhere, many things could not be handed over to Meng Ge to deal with, now that Meng Ge is finally back, Guo Jia will not let Meng Ge relax.
I don't know who reported the news, Meng Ge just entered the city, Guo Jia came over, watching Guo Jia trotting all the way over, Meng Ge was helpless for a while, he knew that this trouble was coming again.
As soon as he saw Meng Ge, Guo Jia hurriedly saluted and said, "Lord, you are finally here!" This Luoyang matter, but also the lord personally made a decision, I can rest assured that you are back! ”
Knowing that Guo Jia was intent on squeezing, Meng Ge didn't care, but said with a smile: "I said Fengxiao, is this necessary, I know that it is very irresponsible to leave this stall, but I'm not idle, isn't it, didn't Cai Mao let me bring it!" As long as Cai Mao is here, Jingzhou is already in our pocket, didn't I solve a problem! ”
With Cai Mao's strong way, it is naturally not difficult to take Jingzhou, speaking of which, the biggest gain from killing Liu Biao this time is not to snipe Liu Biao, but to bring back this guy and recover Jingzhou, this guy must be useful, now Liu Biao's death has been confirmed, with Cai Mao, it will not be a problem to enter Jingzhou.
However, Guo Jia's resentment is far more than that, he has lingering palpitations about the last assassination, and this time Meng Ge is alone, maybe he will encounter it again, which is what Guo Jia is most worried about.
But thinking that Meng Ge came back safely, Guo Jia had to press it, but when it came to recovering the states, Guo Jia had a little calculation, although Meng Ge had a lot of troops in his hands at the moment, but there were still big problems in recovering the states, and the most important thing was that there was a shortage of manpower.
When it came to the matter of Kanto, Guo Jia immediately became interested, and immediately said: "My lord, if you don't say it, it's just that, although we have defeated the princes of Kanto, and the army can sweep through Kanto at any time, but this manpower is really insufficient, we occupy the land of the two states, and the manpower is already stretched, if we expand outward, we must recruit talents as soon as possible." ”
As soon as he heard Guo Jia's worries, Meng Ge smiled and said, "Cut, what should I do!" What's so hard about that! There is no need for us to immediately take back all our powers, the only thing we want to take back is military power, presumably I don't say it, Feng Xiao also understands! ”
Take back the military power first, take your time in the administrative aspect, this matter is indeed in a hurry, Meng Ge understands that Guo Jia is naturally like a mirror in his heart, but it is not a simple matter to let the local government give up the military power.
Guo Jia immediately said: "The lord is wise, that's what I mean, since I can't wait for us to complete the full occupation, then another way is also necessary, as long as the military power is retracted, then the administrative power can be slowly recovered, the top priority is indeed the case, with Cai Mao's words, the recovery of Jingzhou's military power is not a problem, but this Jizhou is different, don't forget, Yuan Shao's son is still there!" What to do! ”
"Without him, one word, fight!" Mongo's answer is even more concise, the simple word of war, is all of Mongo's answers, for the guy who does not listen to orders, Mongo will not be soft, and Mongo is never afraid of anyone in battle.
"Good!" Guo Jia immediately clapped his hands and said yes, these two sentences explain the whole strategy, in short, of course, it is both soft and hard, as long as the military power is collected, the place will have no minions, how to gnaw is not a simple sentence, then the administrative power will naturally be in hand, and then slowly figure it out, this is a very simple truth.
Taking back the military power first will be the first step, of course, it is also a crucial step, as long as this step is completed, then the control of the Kanto region is just around the corner.
After getting Meng Ge's two answers, Guo Jia was finally relieved, and immediately said: "Since the lord already has a manuscript, why don't you go back and talk about it in detail?" ”
Meng Ge said: "Naturally, how to formulate the next action, you still need to be filial piety!" ”
The two of you said a word, all the way to the General's Mansion, the former General's Mansion was He Jin's mansion, but now He Jin has died early, but it has become Menggo's temporary mansion.
There is no doubt that we must be cautious about how to recover the Kanto region, and we must be tough when it is time to be tough, such as in terms of military power, and it is imperative that the military power of the local areas must be weakened.
Let the local government have administrative power, and at the same time hold the military power, this is a time bomb, maybe when it will explode again, this kind of stupid thing Mongo will definitely not do, military power and administrative power must be separated, as a later person, Mongo clearly knows this.
Excessive power will inevitably lead to inflated ambitions, why do local governors dare to rise up, one of the reasons is this, with their own finances and military power, some people will always want to do something, if they have no ideas, then they have to restrain their power.
However, Mungo understands this, and many people also understand this, power represents interests, as the occupants of interests, no one will be willing to give up interests, if they are unwilling at that time, then force is the last resort, and it is foreseeable that the remnants will definitely disagree.
Not to mention, although Yuan Shao is dead, but his son is still there, the Yuan family is well-connected in Jizhou, and they have killed a batch, and another batch will come out tomorrow, if you don't take the opportunity to kill them and completely pull out their foundation, maybe the next Yuan Shao will come out again tomorrow.
Of course, how to kill them, you have to find an excuse, you have to be famous, at this time the benefits of holding the Son of Heaven are reflected, having the order of the Son of Heaven will be the best means, smart people of course know what to do, and those who do not listen to the dispatch are naturally the target.
Of course, this can't be messed up, everything has to be reasonable, chaos will definitely not work, there are still so many people watching in this world, if it is like Dong Zhuo, extremely angry and resentful, then it will be worth the loss.
The two of them muttered for a while in the General's Mansion, Guo Jia walked out with a smile, Meng Ge was a few steps slower, and the expressions of the two seemed to be extremely relaxed.
As soon as he took two steps, Guo Jia smiled and said, "General, it seems that our trump card should be played!" ”
Meng Ge understood in his heart, and said in his mouth: "Of course, this is necessary, but everything needs to be justified, and my official position as a rebellious general should also be promoted, what does the military advisor think?" ”
"Hahaha! The general and I thought of a place, and the position of a general is good! Guo Jia smirked. He is a human spirit, and he naturally has his intentions in arranging Meng Ge in the General's Mansion.
Although the rebellious general is also a general, this level is too small, and it does not match Menggo's current identity at all, and he has to be promoted, but for the promotion, Menggo has other ideas!
