Chapter 374: Planning

Xiao Yuanming's letter of persuasion was still on the way to Hefei, and Duan Shao and others led 50,000 main cavalry and 20,000 county soldiers to Huaiyin to join Gao Cheng.

"I was able to get Shouyang, thanks to Changyou (Chen Yuankang) and the generals' lives."

At the celebration banquet, Gao Cheng raised his glass and said to everyone:

"The battle of Bagong Mountain, raise my great Qi Tianwei, and hope that all the monarchs will continue to work hard to capture Hefei and Huainan!"

Everyone raised their glasses to each other, complimenting in unison that Gao Cheng had the opportunity to win, and they all drank the wine in their cups.

At the banquet, Gao Cheng and the generals sang and danced, which was a rare fun.

Since the second year of Taichang, that is, since 533 AD, Gao Cheng has been emphasizing discipline in the army, strictly prohibiting privateling of the people, in the past, most of the two fathers and sons Gao Huan and Gao Cheng personally commanded the army, and few were like Shouyang World War Division.

Shouyang, as one of the two major towns in Huainan alongside Hefei, is undoubtedly prosperous, and Yangzhou will only prosper when the Grand Canal is dug in the future.

This time, the generals led the troops into Shouyang, which was able to strictly restrict military discipline and restore normal production and life in the city as quickly as possible, which made Gao Cheng overjoyed.

The Qi army occupied Shouyang, because of the good discipline shown, did not harm the people, so it did not provoke the resistance of the people of Shouyang, after all, Shouyang has changed hands repeatedly between the north and the south over the years, and the people of Shouyang are not equal to Jiangnan for whether to be a Liang person or a Qi person.

That night, the monarchs and ministers enjoyed themselves, and the banquet dispersed.

The next day, after a hangover, Gao Cheng summoned Chen Yuankang and other four strategists and Duan Shao and asked:

"Shouyang and Huaiyin are down, and we can be regarded as having a firm foothold in Huainan, if we want to take Huainan all the time, what should we do for today's plan?"

Chen Yuankang was rewarded with 3,000 pieces of cloth by Gao Cheng yesterday for his contributions, which was the same as Duan Shao, Gao Aocao, and Hu Lujin, and was the second reward, second only to Peng Le, who captured Xiao Yuanming, and really aroused the envy of the other three strategists.

Today, Gao Cheng asked for advice, and Wang Jun first suggested:

"Hefei, Huainan important town, if you take it, all over the country will inevitably look at the wind and fall, according to Huainan is as easy as a hand, the minister thinks that when the heavy army is gathered to attack Hefei."

As soon as this remark came out, without waiting for Gao Cheng to consider it, Wang Wei objected:

"Hefei garrison is sufficient, and there are famous generals to guard, Shouyang in front of the car in front, will not go out of the city wave war, the minister thinks that it is not in a hurry, it is better to divide the troops to attack Huainan land, Your Majesty personally led 100,000 elites to approach Hefei, so that the Jiangnan Liang army did not dare to cross the river to rescue the rest of the states and counties, to Hefei became a lonely city in the north of the Yangtze River, if the Liang people do not retreat south, the city is also panicked, and it is not difficult to break the city."

As soon as these words came out, Gao Cheng suddenly felt a chill in his back, and the 100,000 army was in Hefei, and he always felt that it was not a good sign, but after thinking about it carefully, what Wang Wei said was not unreasonable.

After suffering the loss of Shouyang, it is impossible for the Liang people to be seduced out of the city by him again, although Lan Qin is a famous general, but he is not arrogant.

He was friendly with Xiao Yan's favored minister Zhu Yi and the crown prince Xiao Gang's favorite minister Wei Cang, and was humiliated by Yang Kan in public: Your kid bought Zhu Yi as his father with a copper drum, and Wei Cang as his brother, and he was not rightly returned.

Of course, Lan Qin didn't recognize Zhu Yi as his father, just this insult, and it was Zhu Qin who bowed his head in the end, oh no, Lan Qin.

Afterwards, Lan Qin bowed down to Yang Kan to apologize, and the next day a minister told Lan Qin, although you bent your knees and admitted your mistakes, but Yang Kan did not lose your anger, can you go to worship again.

Guess what, this famous general who was passed down with Chen Qingzhi in "History of Liang" once again pleaded guilty to Yang Kan, so that Yang Kan, who insulted him and recognized Zhu Yi as his father, was angry.

Lan Qin can bend and stretch, Gao Cheng knows that if he is determined to hold on, even if he scolds his ancestors outside the city for eighteen generations, Lan Qin can ignore it, if according to Wang Jun's words, he will attack Hefei, even if he can get this city, the military and civilian casualties are estimated to be astronomical.

According to Wang Wei's words, Hefei has become an isolated city, regardless of whether the Liang army will eventually give up Hefei, the hearts of the people in the city will inevitably be shaken.

At this time, Nanliang only had a few local state and county soldiers stationed in the rest of the states and counties in Huainan, and it was a big deal to invite his distinguished guest Xiao Yuanming to take a few more trips and go around the city a few times.

All parts of Huainan will be included in the Northern Qi system as soon as possible and production will be resumed, and Gao Cheng can also try to Hefei again without hurry.

There was already a plan in his heart, but Gao Cheng still looked at Duan Shao, Chen Yuankang and the others, wanting to hear their views on the plan to divide the troops.

The generals of the Northern Qi Dynasty are brave and brave, but most of them are brave and resourceful people such as Gao Aocao and Peng Le, and there are only a few generals with both wisdom and courage, such as Duan Shao, Murong Shaozong, Hou Yuan, etc., among which Duan Shao has the most long-term vision, so he was summoned to ask for advice today.

Duan Shao saw Gao Cheng looking at him, and said:

"The minister thinks that the strategy of dividing the troops said by Wang Changshou is quite reasonable, but Your Majesty's body of ten thousand gold, you can't easily go to danger, whether you should enter Hefei to deter Jiangnan, the minister thinks that it needs to be discussed again."

Wang Chang Shi refers to Wang Wei, different from the Han Dynasty, Chang Shi does not refer to the eunuch, Cao Wei will be free riding and standing attendant two positions in one, called free riding Chang Shi, to the scholar to serve, for the emperor's advisers, in the court rules and mistakes, travel is to ride a horse to follow, Gao Cheng recruited Wang Wei into the court, is to grant him the post of free rider Chang Shi.

The senior among the free riders is called the sacrificial wine and the free riders, and Chen Yuankang is also known as the Chen sacrificial wine.

Duan Shao knew that it was a good idea to enter Hefei and deter Jiangnan, and the Liang people were afraid that the Qi army would take the opportunity to smuggle across the Yangtze River and drive directly to Jiankang, so they definitely did not dare to cross the river to rescue the Huainan lands, so they had to watch the fire from the other side.

But as a courtier, he must not let the Son of Heaven take a little risk, even if the Liang people did not dare to go out of the city to fight at all, and Duan Shao knew very well that with Gao Cheng's temperament, how could he fake 100,000 elites to others, so what he said was to discuss again, not to ask for orders to lead the army.

Therefore, as the only person who died well in the three heroes of Northern Qi in another time and space, his political sensitivity is much stronger than Hu Luguang and Gao Changgong.

Chen Yuankang also seconded Duan Shao's opinion, Wang Jun was not convinced, and felt that what he said was not completely unreasonable, but when he saw Duan Shao and Chen Yuankang speak out in support of Wang Wei, he did not dare to refute, after all, these two were Gao Cheng's closest courtiers.

Gao clarified the meaning of Chu Duanshao's words, if he opposed the invasion of Hefei, he would inevitably put it forward directly, instead of saying anything and then discuss.

What he was most satisfied with about Duan Shao was that he knew the measure, but as Duan Shao thought, the 100,000 elite Gao Cheng must be held in his hands.

"In the battle of Bagong Mountain, the Liang people were frightened, and they would not dare to cross the river, and I personally led the army to advance, and there was no danger, and I was thirteen years old on behalf of my father to conquer and rebel, and I had been on the battlefield for a long time. Land warfare is not as good as water warfare, and if the Liang people go north, I will annihilate them! ”

There is no lack of confidence in Xiao Gaowang's words, and he also has this confidence.
