"Lord, the front is Jiangyang County."

Jiang Chi is still a celebrity fan, although because of horseback riding, he did not wear wide-sleeved long-distance running, but wore a narrow-sleeved bearded suit, but he held a horsewhip in his hand and pointed out the appearance of the country, which was still very free and easy.

The army left Gangneung and marched for two days before arriving at the next city, Jiangyang.

There were still three or four miles away from the city, so Gu Qingcheng found an open place and temporarily set up camp.

She herself rode to the side of the hill and looked at Jiangyang.

Jiang Chi, as the first strategist by Gu Tingcheng's side, naturally followed the whole process.

He pointed to the city in front of him with a horsewhip, and said slowly: "Jiangyang County is a central county, with a population of more than 1,300 households......

Jiang Chi is worthy of being a strategist who knows the affairs of the world, even if it is the first time he comes to Jiangyang, he can "know everything about the situation in this place".

is still the same sentence, it is not that he is unpredictable and prophetic, but that he knows how to investigate and summarize.

Among all the information he obtained, Jiang Chi could always rely on his brain to get the information he needed.

1,300 households?

It is indeed a middle county.

In ancient times, local areas would be divided into three levels: upper, middle, and lower according to conditions such as population, geographical location, and products.

The "county" is a regional unit that is mostly divided according to the number of people in the district.

if there are less than 1,000 households, it is a lower county;

where there are more than 1,000 households and less than 2,000 households, it is a middle county;

If there are more than 2,000 households, it is Shangxian.

The same county seat, there is still a great difference between the upper county and the lower county.

When the imperial court appoints a prefectural order, it will also take these circumstances into account.

"Although Jiangyang County is not too populous and is only a medium-sized county, its location is very important."

Jiang Chi was still talking.

Jiangyang is located between Gangneung and Jiankang, which is a necessary road from north to south.

In addition, Jiangyang is also on the section of the Great River.

The waterways are unobstructed, and the land routes are also developed.

"If you want to go to Jiankang, you must take Jiangyang."

"As far as I know, when the Chen clan went to Jiankang that day, they led troops to defeat Jiangyang, and arranged for Han Cheng, a confidant general, to be stationed there."

"Now, the Chen family has been killed, but Jiangyang is still controlled by Han Cheng."

"Chi sent people to investigate, and under Han Cheng's command, there are a total of 3,000 guards."

Gu Qingcheng nodded.

She knows all the things Jiang Chi said.

Especially Han Cheng, she has not only heard of it, but also seen it before.

Don't forget, Gu Tingcheng is the fiancée of King Liang.

As the future princess of Liang, she has done a lot of things for King Liang and his lieutenants.

Gu Tingcheng had dealt with Han Cheng before.

This man, in his twenties, was born in a humble family, was seven feet tall and had infinite strength, as if he was a natural warrior.

Chen Duan discovered him, first as a personal guard, and then as a leader in battle.

reported all the way, and in less than ten years, Han Chengcheng achieved a class leap and became a general with heavy troops.

Han Cheng is absolutely loyal to Chen Duan.

Even with it, he also has great respect for Gu Qingcheng, the future female monarch.

Of course, the grain, grass, salary, etc. delivered by Gu Chengcheng are also one of the main reasons for Han Cheng's respect.

"Han Cheng is a person who is reckless and honest on the surface, but in fact he is quite a city."

Gu Tingcheng thought back to the few times he had dealt with Han Cheng and summarized accurately.

Jiang Chi hadn't seen Han Cheng, but what he was best at was guessing the general picture based on the details he had heard.

has not dealt with each other, but he can spy on Han Cheng's ability, temperament, etc. from what he has done enough.

Listening to Gu Lingcheng's words, Jiang Chi nodded, "That's right, this person is careless and careful, and he is definitely not a reckless martial artist."

Don't look at anything else, just look at Han Cheng after Chen Duan was killed, he didn't rush to lead his troops to the main communiqué

hatred, you know, this person is still very calm and restrained.

He even took the opportunity to recruit troops to stabilize his control over Jiangyang County.

He also wrote letters to Wang Qi of Jiankang and Gu Qing of Jiangling, respectively, expressing his loyalty to Chen's ideas.

This is quite interesting.

If you are truly faithful, you don't need to stress it so much.

Not to mention betting on both ends.

Han Cheng was just waiting to see if it was Jiankang's Wang family or the former female Gu family who was more worthy of choice.

Han Cheng knew very well that with the three thousand men and horses under his command, he would not be able to defend Jiangyang at all.

It is even more impossible to take Jiangyang as a base, stand on his own as the king, and participate in the competition for the world.

Dividing the place and becoming a hero, Han Cheng must have thought about it, but he knew that he didn't have such strength.

At least, based on the information received by Gu Lingcheng and Jiang Chi, and the facts they speculated, both of them were more inclined to Han Cheng to wait for the price and sell, and find another hero.

"You can talk to Han Cheng."

"I don't have a large army, but I have 60,000 horses under my command."

Gu Qingcheng sat high on horseback and stood on the hillside, just enough to take the entire Jiangyang City into view.

The city is not big, but the location is important.

If she wants to drive straight back to Jiankang, she is bound to win this Jiangyang County.

If you attack it, it's not impossible.

However, if peace talks can be achieved without losing a single soldier, Gu Tingcheng still prefers this peaceful way.

She has a hot air balloon, she has a small porcelain bottle, even the most rudimentary version of a thermal weapon, against a cold weapon, it is also a dimensionality reduction strike.

Gu Tingcheng has absolute confidence that he can take Jiangyang by force, but there is no need.

Whether it is the men and horses under her command or the guards of Jiangyang City, they are all her people, and she is reluctant to have any damage.

"My lord is wise, and Chi thinks so too."

"If the lord does not give up, Chi is willing to go to Jiangyang to negotiate peace with the Han family."

Jiang Chi hung the horsewhip on his wrist, clasped his fists with both hands, and saluted Gu Qingcheng for his life.

"Good! That's hard work, sir."

Gu Tingcheng agreed to Jiang Chi's request very easily.

After thinking about it, she added, "In addition, Mr. can bring Han Cheng a meeting gift."

Peace talks can't just be lip service.

Although Gu Qingcheng knew that a celebrity like Jiang Chi was his sharpest weapon.

With one mouth, the dead can be said to be alive.

persuasion, peace, coercion, and inducement...... The skills of the bosses of later generations to draw big cakes are not worth mentioning at all compared to these tricky strategists.

However, Gu Tingcheng has absolute strength.

With her "money ability" to assist, Jiang Chi can definitely get twice the result with half the effort.

"Senior Brother Mu's fleet has sent another batch of grain, our food is enough, and we can divide it into batches for Han Cheng."

"In addition, there are some ordnance and armor."

Gu Qingcheng really lacks nothing.

Especially in the past few months, there has been no need to supply Chen Duan, and her grain, grass, ordnance and other materials are about to overflow from the warehouse.

Now, it's just a part of it to "give gifts", and for Gu Tingcheng, it's really just a small CASE.

Jiang Chi: ......

With such food and grass, he doesn't need to play tricks.

It has been a month since Chen Duan's accident.

Jiankang was controlled by Wang Qi, and the imperial court naturally did not allocate food and salary to Chen Duan's old department.

Of course, Han Cheng can be recruited on the spot, but Jiangyang is so big, and this is not a long-term solution.

If you sit and eat, something will happen sooner or later.

The current Han Cheng may not be short of food, but he will definitely not refuse the food sent to his door.

Take 10,000 steps back, even if Han Cheng has other plans, what about the soldiers under his command.

Jiang Chi took one step and looked at three steps, but no one was yet

When I go to Jiangyang, I already have one, two, and three strategies.

The materials given by Gu Tingcheng made Jiang Chi extremely confident.

He's even started planning—

If the Han family refuses Gu's solicitation, then directly in the open space outside the city, bury the pot and cook rice.

The dish, of course, is the secret recipe for stir-fry "invented" by the lord.

Especially the braised pork, tsk, the fragrance is domineering, it can be called a must.

Jiang Chi switched to the Gu family, and he once tasted it in the military camp.

It's a lowly stinky meat, but it's really, very, very tasty.

Soft and delicious, fresh and sweet, not only the soldiers who can't eat enough all the year round like it, but also the future family like Jiang Chi, who was born in a poor family, was also impressed by the braised pork.

Jiang Chi has already sketched out a scene -

Outside the city, on the open ground, there were large cauldrons, and the firehead soldiers held shovels to fry sugar and meat pieces.

Sting! Sting!

Heat the pan with cold oil, syrup wraps the pork belly, and the taste can definitely be fragrant for several miles.

And the Jiangyang defenders who were close at hand, seeing that the Gu family army, who was also a small soldier, could feast on it, they would definitely be revolted by the greedy worms.

And then ...... Their people, their souls, will eventually be seduce by braised pork, white rice, large cooking cakes, etc.

I have to say that the Gu family is too rich.

And the girl of the Gu family, his father-in-law, is also too generous and knows how to buy people's hearts.

Even the most ordinary soldiers in the army have three meals a day, oil and water for meals, and meat for lunch.

can eat well, eat well, and have a full amount of military pay every month, and pay it on time and in quantity.

Never delay, never hold back.

Soldiers who are injured in battle have the best anti-inflammatory drugs, and they can also receive special care such as sick meals during their recuperation.

In the event of an unfortunate death, the Gu family also has a set of standardized and perfect bereavement policies:

high pensions;

The families of the fallen soldiers can go to work in any of Gu's workshops;

In the family of the fallen soldier, a place can also be assigned to be a soldier, as long as he is a soldier, he will have a sum of money. I heard that when the Gu family was still in Lingnan, they implemented such a policy.

Therefore, in Lingnan, the saying that "a good man is not a soldier" was directly broken by the Gu family.

The policy implemented by the Gu family has given the people of Lingnan a new understanding: one person is a soldier, and the whole family is full!

"It's no wonder that in just ten years, the Gu family has laid a huge foundation in a wild place like Lingnan."

The more Jiang Chi understood what Gu Qingcheng had done, the more he admired this lord, and the more glad he was that he didn't choose the wrong person.

"General, the Gu clan's army is already approaching Jiangyang."

"They are stationed three miles outside the city, and the Gu clan is bound to win Jiangyang."

In the Yali of Jiangyang County, in the temporary meeting hall, a person dressed as a strategist replied in detail to the general on the main seat.

The strategist's eyebrows are a little anxious, the soldiers are coming to the city, how can they not be in a hurry?

The general sitting on the Golden Sword, that is, Han Cheng, was not only not worried, but his swollen eyes still flashed with excitement.

Gu's daughter is here.

That's a rare beauty in the world.

The key is to be so virtuous.

She can be a virtuous helper to Chen Duan, Lao Tzu is no worse than Chen Duan, maybe ...... Hey, hey, hey......
