"The hearts of the people......" Inside the palace walls, Gao Yuyao sighed lightly.

Although it has been approved to allow a garrison in Qingzhou to go south to defend against the enemy's fire phoenix, this matter was not in Gao Yuyao's plan at all. Don't look at the current Huofeng in Huizhou, it is quite sweeping and unscrupulous, but in fact, there is not much threat.

Not to mention that it is no longer possible to go straight to Jingshi Jinling like before, the latter's troop allocation is far from being comparable to the original, and if Huofeng really dares to come, it will inevitably be called to go and never return. Speaking of Huizhou alone, if the three or two small cities are lost, they will be lost, and the overall situation is still stable, and Huofeng wants to storm the big city, so she will stop there.

It is well known that there were the most casualties in the assault. And after occupying the city, there are also people stationed there. The addition of the two items means that the adjustable strength of the fire phoenix is reduced, and the defense pressure is increased. As soon as the reinforcements of the Great Liang arrive, how will the fire phoenix be consumed.

It is to look at Huofeng's current reputation in Huizhou is quite scary, in fact, in Gao Yuyao's opinion, it is probably a paper tiger, taking advantage of Xiao's war, to come and find some cheapness. Otherwise, with the strength of her single side, how can she come nonsense.

Gao Yuyao wanted to directly send troops to drive away, and Daliang was not without the ability to fight on multiple fronts, but Gao Yuyao was distressed. Silla has been broken, which means that Gao Yuyao's money bag is very leaky, even if he still has accumulated a lot of old money before, he can't stand such consumption.

Fighting on multiple fronts means recruiting more people, affecting people's livelihood and taxes, and increasing ration consumption on a large scale. This is not as simple as one plus one equals two, based on this, it was finally decided to directly let the reinforcements who rushed to Jingzhou continue to go north after the battle of Jingzhou.

However, this is not the point, the point is that Gao Yuyao has been in power for some time, even if it is something that everyone is strongly opposed, Gao Yuyao has the confidence to gradually let them compromise in order to achieve their goals. But this time, he had to take into account the thoughts of a group of low-level people and big-headed soldiers. If the military order is forced, the mutiny is basically inevitable, and you have to choose to compromise, and there are really not many things like this that are not your will.

From not paying attention to the people's will at the beginning, to understanding and using it later, and now, Gao Yuyao can truly understand what the people's will is.

When the people's hearts are unified, the waves it sets off are enough to destroy the withering and decaying. For example, in this matter now, if the forced pressure leads to this military mutiny, Gao Yuyao is not afraid, it is nothing more than a small number of soldiers and horses, but the consequences and chain reactions caused are not something Gao Yuyao dares to gamble on at will. And that's just a part of the impact, but what if there are more people and a wider range?

Could it be true that when this kind of thing happened, let Gao Yuyao step down and even ask for her head, and if she really had to choose to back down?

This is by no means acceptable to Gao Yuyao, you must know that her current efforts are not only for herself, but also for her children. Whoever stands in the way, then die!

"The Queen Mother, the right guard of Licheng arrived in Huizhou, in order to start a war with the rebel Huofeng and sent good news, beheaded more than 3,000 and captured 200." At the court meeting, the officials of the military department played. Although the establishment of the Metropolitan Governor's Office greatly weakened Wenchen's control over the military aspect, the military department naturally remained, but the power was too far behind that of the original, as if it had become the end of the six departments.

"Heh......" Gao Yuyao laughed when she heard this battle report, is this a fool of her and the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military forces? Dissatisfied is dissatisfied, but he asked quietly: "How many people does Huofeng lead." ”

"Back to the Queen Mother, according to the latest scout news, this female thief entered Huizhou to lead 60,000 troops." It was the military attache of the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion who replied.

"How many people are there in the right guard of Licheng?"

"Fifteen thousand."

"In other words, with his 15,000 people, the right guard of Licheng won the battle against the fire phoenix with 60,000 troops? Is he too strong in Licheng's right guard, or is Huofeng too incompetent? Or is it that all the soldiers in Huizhou are weak, not as good as his right guard in the city? It's really a great ability, since it is to win more with less, it must be because the fire phoenix army is defeated and flees to have this result, but if this is the case, why only behead three thousand? Two hundred captives are even more ridiculous! ”

Speaking of this, Gao Yuyao stood up with full aura, stared sharply at the civilian officer of the military department, and asked: "Mourning family and ask you, can there be a report of the casualties of the right guard of Licheng!" ”

"This ...... This...... Xu is a long way to go, and there are many delays......"

"The mourning family only asks if you have it!"

"Return, return to the Queen Mother, no."

The face of the civilian officer of the military department was green, and he thought it was good news, so he took the initiative to show his face, but the result was good, God knows that this will happen, otherwise he would not have taken the lead to kill him.

"That's why the mourning family has always said that laymen don't have to care about insiders, and they can't tell whether the good news is true or not, so what else can we talk about!" Gao Yuyao didn't miss the slightest opportunity to spit out the nails, and the civil officials present who stabbed him didn't want to. Turning his head, he said to a military attache of the Dadu Governor's Mansion: "Deputy Governor Liang, with your experience, what do you think is the truth of the matter?" ”

This is a little old man of half a hundred, but his body is still tough and burly, with a Chinese face and a big beard, giving people the first impression of being a stern person. However, in fact, those who know him privately call him Liang Da Fox, the so-called people can't look good, this guy is cunning, and he is the best at protecting himself.

This surname Liang is not simple, it is not a continuation of the ancestors, but the surname of the founding emperor after the founding of the Great Liang Dynasty. was originally almost a slave-like character, but because he followed the right person, he became a 'national surname'. Of course, there are still skills, large and small, they have also fought a lot of battles with Liang Taizu, and they have had a good relationship with the royal family for generations, and there are many intermarriages.

The family of such noble relatives has never been treated well by civil officials and scholars, so it is not a big problem, the Liang family has always been a martial heirloom, and there is no need to rely on how good it is to study to get out. In the three hundred years since the founding of the Great Liang Dynasty, there are more than one or two families of Xungui's relatives, it stands to reason that the Liang family's status is easy to come out and be attacked, but in fact, the Xungui family has been defeated, and the relatives have been beheaded, but only the Liang family has never been moved.

Without him, he will be a man!

For example, after seeing that the situation was not right, Liang Bo'an, the contemporary head of the Liang family, immediately took the initiative to offer most of the Liang family's savings without hesitation, and even thought about the name to repair the imperial mausoleum for the first emperors of the Liang dynasty. Hawkers, how to fix this thing, isn't it just Gao Yuyao's words, look, the steps are all erected, it's strange that Gao Yuyao doesn't accept it.

This matter spread, and it once attracted ridicule, thinking that the Liang family was greedy for life and afraid of death. As a result, it didn't take long for Gao Yuyao's butcher's knife to be raised, and the major families were bloodily cleaned.

And the Liang family, except that life is indeed a little tight, but it is finally completely preserved. Not only that, but he was also promoted to the position of deputy governor of the Dadu Governor's Mansion by Gao Yuyao, becoming one of the few powerful military attachés. As for the Metropolitan Governor, this thing didn't stand up, obviously Gao Yuyao did it herself, that is, she didn't directly seal the position.

"Queen Mother, I have never seen this with my own eyes, and the old minister does not dare to assert whether it is true or false." Liang Bo'an, since he is an old fox, how can he easily say words that offend people. Anyway, the current situation, and it wasn't Gao Yuyao who forced him to say a fixed answer.

"You old fox." Gao Yuyao raised her finger and pointed at it, it seemed to be unkind, but in fact, it was a kind of closeness, ordinary courtiers, but there was no such treatment. Indeed, this old fox is very comfortable, knows how to advance and retreat, does not touch power at will, and does not easily cross the line, and does not shirk the implementation of Gao Yuyao's instructions, where to find such a useful person.

"That's it, it's nothing more than that Huofeng had no intention of fighting head-on with the right guard of Licheng, and then was taken advantage of by the right guard of Licheng to grab a small tail, which was a small gain. In this way, Deputy Governor Liang, choose someone to go to Huizhou to commend the mourning family, and also knock one or two. It's not that the mourning family is not close to people, everyone wants military exploits, and there have been false reports and concealments from ancient times to the present, but if it is too exaggerated, it is to deceive people as fools, and no one will be happy, do you think it is yes or not? So, in the future, it's better not to be too confident. Deputy Governor Liang, do you understand the meaning of mourning? ”

"......" Liang Bo'an was speechless for an instant, if it was really just the meaning of the words, how could he finally emphasize the inquiry? Originally, I wanted to not offend anyone with the mud, but Gao Yuyao didn't think so, and now she had to do it according to the Queen Mother's wishes.

Liang Bo'an is sure that Gao Yuyao is even doubting whether the right guard of Licheng is really better than a small field, and the reason why he said it like this is also because of Liang's face, after all, it is just a matter of losing to the thieves, and he also lied about his military exploits, which is not very good.

Therefore, the way to deal with this matter, if it is really meritorious and just a false report, then it is easy to say, for the time being, it is necessary to focus on stability, and just knock one or two. But if it's a complete lie, ha, don't you know that Gao Yuyao was dissatisfied because she had to choose to allow Licheng Right Guard to go south to aid Huizhou? Even if there is no problem, there will definitely be some faults in the future, not to mention that there is a real problem.

That is to say, Liang Bo'an chose to send people to Huizhou, and if he couldn't say it, he would have to hold him accountable and seize power, this kind of offending people, you don't need to ask to know that it was on his head Liang Bo'an, but it's not, the Queen Mother said, reward, and beat. That's all, no matter how hard you beat, it doesn't include accountability and seizure of power.

"The old minister understands that he will definitely ask someone to arrange it properly." Liang Bo sighed with peace of mind, what else could he do except obediently accept his fate, anyway, it is better to offend anyone than to offend Gao Yuyao. Gao Yuyao is powerful, she has her own ability, although there is only half of the country left, but the national strength is really improving, but this temperament is really stronger.

As Gao Yuyao expected, the fire phoenix had no intention of confronting the right guard of Licheng at all. The right guard of Licheng has always been stationed in Licheng, Qingzhou, which was formed when Gao Yuyao was in Licheng, but most of its soldiers and even generals came from Huizhou. From their point of view, Huizhou suffered from the war, and the family members did not know the life and death, naturally it was the fault of the fire phoenix, under the anxiety, it was definitely very hard, the fire phoenix was stupid to fight directly, and it was far away, if there is a chance, I don't mind fighting back, if there is no chance, I can create some incidents and go north to Qingzhou.

The generals of the right guard of Licheng are not stupid, and they know that forcing the superiors to agree to return to Huizhou with an uproar will inevitably leave a lot of impressions, so it is inevitable that they will make up for their mistakes with the eagerness to make up for their merits, but Huofeng did not give any chance to fight at all, and even took advantage of such an eager psychology to give a small defeat, with nearly 2,000 casualties.

These are good, forcing the superiors to agree to transfer troops to aid Huizhou, but they will lose as soon as they come, if they are accountable, they will be good in the end, and they will not protect their heads if they don't make trouble. It was also at this time that the Huofeng army withdrew from a small city that had been captured, and the right guard of Licheng took over immediately without saying a word.

Take a look at it, there are a number of first-level corpses in the city, which are the original soldiers who defend the city, how can they not die when they fight. It's just that this made the generals of the right guard of Licheng feel crooked, so a good news was so freshly released.

Huo Feng didn't know that someone actually used the head of their own comrade to report the attack, and insisted that it was only after winning her Huo Feng that he won it. Even if you know that you are afraid, you won't care, why are you afraid of such a reckless general? I wish there were more fools on the other side of the girder.

This is also one of the sequelae of Gao Yuyao's large number of promotions to the poor, suddenly getting opportunities and even getting high positions, not everyone can adjust their mentality calmly, just like some people suddenly win the jackpot and become rich overnight, it will inevitably lead to the change of some people to forget their original intentions, but overall, it is not an exaggeration, and it is just a few people for the time being.

Although Gao Yuyao is high, she is basically under control, and even if there are variables, she can adjust them in time. It's like Xiao came to commit this time, in fact, he didn't feel at ease at all, the big guys don't have any water divisions, Jingzhou is not easy to fight, and it is estimated that it will be over, and the next thing is basically the development of the arms race.

And at this point, Gao Yuyao doesn't think that Xiao can compare to herself, let alone say that in Jingzhou Nanjun, there is still an Song role of tens of thousands of sailors waiting there. For An Ge, the sailor is her only biggest advantage, and she will be happy to see the rise of the sailor of other forces?

Even if he doesn't want to find a way to contain Xiao, at least he will start a war with Xiangzhou, no matter which one he is, Gao Yuyao is happy to see it. But then again, it should be a decisive battle between the Jin people and the Turks in the near future, and I don't know what arrangements Zhou Shaoyu will make in Youzhou.

It's a pity that the Turkic Ashina Huqin Sunset West Mountain is not of much value at all, and Ainur is completely supported by Zhou Shaoyu, so it is naturally impossible to contain Zhou Shaoyu in turn. And Jin Ren has always been unruly and unruly, and he is not a good object for manipulation.

This is not good, the decisive battle between Ashina Huqin and the Jin people, no matter what the result is, is definitely beneficial to Youzhou. If you can't say that these two conveniences are a lose-lose situation. In this way, in terms of Zhou Shaoyu's power, not only Xiangzhou in the south has been developing steadily, but even the north has to be completely peaceful?

Gao Yuyao was a contemplative person, and decided to do something for Zhou Shaoyu, and he must not be allowed to make it so easy.
