Chapter 503: Bringing the King into the Urn

Referring to the third news, Gao Hui, who had just been frustrated because of his judgment of Zhang Xuan's mistake, immediately perked up, and said with a smile: "I got the express in Anyang yesterday, so I came overnight, Yang Guang, the emperor of the Great Sui, has ordered the upgrading of Jiangdu to the southern capital, and the etiquette specifications are the same as those of Luoyang and Chang'an, and he will take a boat south in early June, and all private treasures will be taken away." ”

Rao is Gaolie City Mansion is deep, this news still made his eyes show a shocking look, how shrewd he was, and immediately understood the profound meaning of this matter, Yang Guang had the intention of moving the capital to Jiangdu.

Gao Hui saw her brother's movedness, she was secretly proud in her heart, she regarded this matter as the biggest news, and believed that her brother would be shocked by it, and sure enough, she guessed it, even the brother who was so deep in the city government was difficult to control, which showed the importance of this matter.

Gao Hui couldn't help but be excited: "Since the faint monarch returned from Mayi County, it is like a different person, according to the palace secret agent, the faint monarch locked himself in the harem all day long to drink and have fun, decadent, drunk and angry, scolded the soldiers for incompetence, disloyalty of officials, or was in the quiet room for a day and a night, every time he came out of the quiet room, he had to give an important will, and the palace people found that he was wandering around the palace alone in the middle of the night, like a ghost, big brother, I doubt that this faint king is crazy." ”

Gao Lie has returned to normal, shook his head and smiled: "It's not crazy, these wills he made are not something that a madman can do, it should be a little mentally problematic, I estimate that what happened to Ma Yi County made him too stimulated, plus he is an extremely emotional person, so he can't use ordinary people's reason to think about the problem." ”

"My brother is right, for example, he promised tens of thousands of soldiers knighthoods in Mayi County, but after returning to Luoyang, he seemed to have forgotten about it, and I heard that even Yu Shiji had a lot of complaints."

"Why?"

"I heard that Yu Shiji suggested that the faint monarch could replace the title with honors and heavy rewards. But with such a little benefit, the faint monarch refused, and only said one sentence, it is the duty of a courtier to be loyal to the king, so what is the reward? As a result, tens of thousands of Xiaoguo soldiers were all indignant, and he ordered to mobilize soldiers from all counties and counties in the world to prepare for war in Liaodong. Preparing for the four expeditions to Goguryeo, as a result, this will sank into the sea, and no county responded, and in the end, it was lost, which can be said to be the loss of the king's prestige. ”

Speaking of this, Gao Hui said with contempt and hatred: "With such a faint king, it's no wonder that the world is not in chaos!" ”

At this time, Gao Lie suddenly asked: "Just now you suspected that Li Mi was Li Jiancheng pretending, except for Chai Shao. Is there any hard evidence? ”

Gao Hui shook her head, "There is really no evidence, what is the eldest brother worried about?" ”

Gao Lie looked at the roof with his hands in his hands, and said with a meaningful smile: "If this person is really Li Jiancheng's disguise, Li Yuan may already have a different heart." ”

Gao Hui was shocked, she just wanted to say more, but Gao Lie waved his hand and didn't give her a chance to continue. Gao Lie said lightly: "Everything has priorities, and Wagang can go with the flow." As long as he keeps in touch with Wang Ruxin, Yang Guang doesn't have to bother, he wants to abandon Luoyang and go south, this is the will of God, we can go with the sky, but Li Yuan has to bother with it. To strengthen the intelligence of Taiyuan, Li Yuan's every move must be reported to me, and in addition, the Qingzhou side is also the most important, and the intelligence network in Qingzhou is also strengthened. As for Guo Xuan's side, I still need to think about it again. ”

"Is there anything else that brother hasn't figured out?" Gao Hui asked cautiously.

"There you go! If anything happens to me, I will send for you. ”

Gao Hui has followed her eldest brother for more than ten years, and she has long been accustomed to this kind of dumb riddle-like ending, and she also knows that her brother will be a true dragon son one day, and naturally there is something different from mortals, so she didn't ask any more questions, and bowed and retreated.

Gao Lie didn't look at Gao Hui's departing back at all, he was still standing in front of the window with his hands down, staring at the south, his heart was full of thoughts, and he also had a mystery in his heart that could not be solved.

Why did Zhang Xuan ask Guo Xuannan to attack the backs of Dou Jiande and Gao Shida, what kind of intention is hidden in this?

Gao Lie realized in his heart, he seemed to have seen through a trace of Zhang Xuan's foresight, but he couldn't see it clearly, so he was in a trance, but another feeling was becoming more and more obvious, this Zhang Xuan might become his fierce rival in the future

On the Yellow River, a large fleet of boats is slowly moving along the water under the light of the afterglow, and the two sides are turbid and wide water, showing a strange golden color under the reflection of the setting sun, turbid and viscous, and the whole fleet seems to sail in a piece of golden molten lava.

Zhang Xuan stood on the bow of the first big ship with his hands in his hands, and also stared at the golden mud on the surface of the river, as if he was studying the origin of the mud, but his eyes were always focused, he was obviously not looking at the mud, but immersed in his thoughts.

Several generals behind him did not dare to speak, for fear of disturbing the coach's train of thought.

Zhang Xuan got the news from the capital yesterday that Yang Guang had ordered the Jiangdu to be the southern capital, and was ready to go south by boat in early June, although Zhang Xuan did not have the same situation as Gao Lie, but he had an incomparable advantage with Gao Lie, he knew that Yang Guang went to Jiangdu, and never returned to Luoyang.

At this time, a sound of footsteps came, rapid and powerful, several generals frowned, Wei Chi Gong turned his head and glared at the messenger with dissatisfaction, his footsteps interrupted the commander's contemplation, and the messenger found that several generals were staring at him, so frightened that the words that had just come to his mouth were taken back, and he quickly knelt down on one knee.

Zhang Xuan's train of thought had been withdrawn, and he asked lightly: "What is the urgent military situation?" ”

If there was no urgent military situation, the soldiers would not let him come to report, and the messenger hurriedly said: "General Qiyu, the news from the north bank that Dou Jiande and Gao Shida's army have withdrawn north. ”

Zhang Xuan laughed, it seemed that Guo Xuan had already sent troops, and he immediately ordered: "Pass my order, the army will cross the river and enter Qinghe County!" ”

Wei Chigong hesitated for a moment and reminded: "Could this be a trap laid by the thief army, to retreat as advance, and lure the general north." ”

Zhang Xuan said with a smile: "Although what Jingde said is reasonable, but you can't waste food because of choking, as long as you are well prepared, there is nothing to fear, I will send three hundred scouts to investigate in Qinghe County, as long as the thief army comes again with all its strength, it is completely too late for us to get on the ship and retreat south, but Dou Jiande and Gao Shida are probably more interested in the Youzhou army." ”

Zhang Xuan said to his pro-soldier again: "Go tell Shen Guang and ask him to send someone to remind Guo Xuan that you must not underestimate the enemy, let alone be greedy!" ”

Because the main armies of Gao Shida and Dou Jiande were on the north bank of the Yellow River, Guo Xuan's army encountered any resistance, and Luo Cheng's vanguard army killed Dou Jiande's old nest Wuyi County two days later, and Gao Shida's old nest Nanpi County was also occupied by Hou Junji's army at the same time.

More than half of the population in Wuyi County are the families of Dou Jiande's soldiers, and when Luo Cheng killed Wuyi County, the people in the county fled a day ago, and the county almost became an empty city, with less than 1,000 people left.

However, Dou Jiande's several large warehouses did not have time to evacuate, and countless money, grain and materials all fell into the hands of the Sui army, and Luo Cheng did not enter the warehouse, but asked the warehouse to be closed, and hundreds of soldiers were sent to guard it, and no one was allowed to approach.

Two days later, Guo Xuan led an army of 10,000 to Wuyi County, this time Guo Xuan led an army of 20,000 to the south, plus 3,000 people led by Luo Cheng, a total of 23,000 people, his main army to Hejian County when he got the news of Hou Junji, Hou Junji has conquered Nanpi County, found a lot of money and food, but his own manpower is not enough.

Guo Xuan immediately divided his troops of 7,000 men and went to Nanpi County, while he himself rushed to Wuyi County.

Outside the gate of Wuyi County, Luo Cheng knelt down on one knee and saluted Guo Xuan, "See the governor!" ”

"Nephew, please get up!"

Guo Xuan smiled and helped Luo Cheng up, patted him on the shoulder and asked, "How do you feel about leading the army to fight for the first time?" ”

Although Guo Xuan has a good impression of Luo Cheng, Luo Cheng is the son of his officialdom opponent Luo Yi, so there is a little more smirk and hypocrisy in his words.

Luo Cheng hurriedly bowed down and said: "Although there are leading troops, there is no war, Wuyi County is an empty city, and I haven't even seen a single thief army." ”

"Isn't it easy to want to fight? There will be opportunities in the future. ”

Guo Xuan's words changed, "How is the situation in the warehouse?" ”

The main purpose of Guo Xuan's main purpose of leading the army south this time is to take advantage of the weakness, the main purpose is to get rid of Dou Jiande and Gao Shida's lair, take away their money, food and materials, and after he succeeds, he will immediately retreat north, and he can give an explanation to the saint, as for the decisive battle with the main force of the thief army, his troops are insufficient, and he has no such idea.

"Back to the governor, the treasury is closed, and I don't know how many supplies, money and food there are, please go and check it out in person."

"Excellent! I want to take a look, how much people's fat and ointment has Dou Jiande scraped? A hint of greed flashed in Guo Xuan's eyes, and he turned on his horse and ran towards the city.
