Chapter 60: Difficult Paths, Divergent Paths (1)
“...... A total of 236 people were beheaded and 357 were captured. After this battle, the thieves who went south to Guanghan to invade Deyang had to retreat in Guanghan City......"
CD, in the Yizhou Assassin's Mansion, Qiao Deng was reading the report from Deyang with an excited face.
"Lord Envoy, great victory, great victory!"
"Hmph, but more than 200 people have been beheaded. Lu Qiang, who was not tall, said sourly, "There are tens of thousands of displaced people, and this achievement does not hurt its roots." ”
"Lu is doing this. Qiao Deng immediately retorted: "Gao Tinghou also said in the letter that although the homeless people are brave, they do not produce, just like duckweed without roots. As long as the wilderness is left unplundered, and the war is not allowed, the displaced people will naturally be defeated after eating the surplus food. ”
In the letter, Gao Ming praised Luo Shang's construction of Changwei along the river, which surprised Qiao Deng and made Luo Shang very happy.
Originally, Luo Shang was only a passive defense to prevent the displaced people from crossing the river. But in Gao Ming's letter, he said that his move was the only good way to besiege and kill the homeless. Now that Gao Ming occupies Deyang, as long as he guards the first line of this Deyang CD and makes the villages build fortifications for self-protection, this work will be effective in less than half a year.
"It is said that this son relied on his own merit to kill Shen Xiu, and he was arrogant and disrespectful. But I didn't want to be such a wonderful person. Luo Shang looked at the contents of the letter and thought.
repeatedly suffered defeats on the homeless, which put a lot of pressure on Luo Shang. Although the news from the imperial court said that the emperor of Qi still trusted him and supported him, he also knew that he could no longer be defeated.
At this moment, he couldn't help but be glad that when he learned that Gao Ming was training privately, he didn't send someone to stop it in the first place. With such a small victory, combined with the strategy outlined in the clever letter, the situation turned out to be very good.
He guards the first line of CD, Gao Ming guards the first line of Deyang, and Yabo guards the first line of Jiange Jiameng, as long as these three lines are strong, the displaced people are only within the two counties of Zitong and Xindu. As Gao Ming said, as long as the villages in Jiangdong build fortifications to protect themselves, so that the displaced people have nothing to loot, one day, the food of the displaced people will be exhausted. At that time, this gang of thieves is afraid that they will be in turmoil themselves.
As soon as he thought of this, Luo Shang had already decided that he would tacitly acquiesce that he was going to implement this plan when he built Changwei along the river.
"This Emperor Pavilion Marquis is attacking Deyang this time, and he is carrying out my secret order. Since Gao Ming wanted to give this credit to himself, Luo Shang accepted it unceremoniously, "Originally, I was worried that this son would not be able to take on such a big responsibility, but I didn't want to achieve such a big victory. Since this son has made such merits, it is the practice of the court that meritorious service must be rewarded. Here, I solemnly announce the appointment of Gaoming, the Marquis of Yandao Pavilion, as the governor of Jiangyang County, who can have less than 1,000 subordinates......"
Two days later, Shangluo, the capital of the Great Jin Dynasty, was in the palace of the King of Qi.
The king of Qi, who was in charge of the government, sat on the main seat, and on both sides sat Sikong Donghai Wang Huangfu Yue, Taiwei Wang Yan, Shang Shuling Ge Tai, and Dong Ai in the service.
"Prince, what do you think of Luo Shang's strategy?" Although Huang Fu is a noble Sima, he still maintains a courtesy to Wang Yan, an old qualified lieutenant whose reputation is no longer as good as in the past.
Since the Yizhou militia rebellion, the Emperor of Qi, who had just sat in the auxiliary political position for a short time, has been under tremendous pressure. After repeated defeats, Zitong fell, Xindu fell, Guanghan fell, looking at the "Yugong Territory Map" Yizhou Liangzhou map was marked with red territory one by one, Huangfu was extremely anxious in his heart.
Luo Shang was appointed by himself, and he was tasked with reforming Lingtian. After a series of defeats, there were endless calls for the replacement of Yizhou Assassin Shi inside and outside the imperial court, but the Emperor of Qi suppressed these voices temporarily.
Compared with these voices, he cares more about the opinions of Huang Fuying, the general sitting in Yecheng, and Situ Huangfu Ying, who is sitting in Chang'an.
Huang Fuying has not spoken out on this matter for the time being, but Huang Fuying has already proposed to appoint his general Ya Bo to replace Handan Shang, the assassin of Liangzhou, as the new assassin of Liangzhou.
He was reluctant to agree to Huangfu Hao's proposal from the bottom of his heart, and he even wanted to replace the position of Huangfu Hao's military governor Yongqin and Liang in his heart.
He couldn't forget that Huang Fu Hao supported Huang Fu Lun at the first time, not Huang Fu of Qi.
After receiving this good news from Luo Shang 800 miles, the Emperor Fu of Qi finally breathed a long sigh of relief. Although the results of Deyang's victory this time were not so dazzling, the strategy of leveling the thieves depicted by Luo Shang was completely feasible.
As long as Luo Shang can solve the problem of displaced people, it means that he is embarrassed by the emperor of Qi, not cronyism.
Pacifying the displaced people, promoting the well field, and realizing the grand blueprint that his father had not realized, this is what Huangfu Yu has always pursued.
"My father has always aimed to be comparable to Yin Gong, he failed to achieve this goal, I will help him achieve it!"
"Luo Shang's strategy is a prudent policy. Wang Yan had already seen the music sent by Luo Shang before the emperor asked him, and said slowly at this time: "Xi Meng offered a military prison and Zheng people were afraid, and Yan was weak in Dongyang and Laizi was served. Needless to say, there is no need to say that there are natural dangers in Jiange Jiameng, and there is no need to say much about the construction of a long perimeter along Pishui by Luo Shang on the western front, the key is the southern and eastern routes, how to ensure that the displaced people do not go south or eastward on a large scale in the future. In addition to Deyang, we should also strengthen our preparedness in Yuxian, Zizhong, and Nanchong. ”
"The captain has a point. Sikong Donghai Wang Huangfu Yue nodded and said: "However, this Qi County and Deyang belong to Guanghan County of Liangzhou, Zizhong belongs to Qianwei County of Yizhou, and Nanchong belongs to Bashi County of Liangzhou. ”
"It's not a war to encircle and suppress. Shang Shu Ling Ge Tai said coldly: "Each county can guard its own territory if it is too much to abide by the county order." Whoever forsakes the city and flees shall be beheaded according to the law. ”
As soon as Ge Tai spoke up, everyone present immediately fell silent. Wang Yan originally wanted to say that the county's armament had been abandoned for a long time, and it had long been unbearable for a battle, but when the words came to his lips, looking at Ge Tai's invincible demeanor, he still didn't say it in the end.
"Handan merchants have been defeated repeatedly, it is not appropriate to serve as the assassin of Liangzhou again, Runan Xu Xiong is both civil and military, and he should replace Handan Shang ......" Ge Tai saw that everyone no longer spoke, so he started the next topic.
