Xuzhou, Guangling County, Dongtai County

Qin Zhao convened the important generals of the Pingzhou Expeditionary Force.

As soon as Sun Congyi came in, he asked, "Third Brother Qin, are we going to fight?" ”

"As far as you're smart, yes." Qin Zhao didn't deny it, "Didn't we tell Bai Xingzhi before?" It will make King Jin feel the sincerity of our Pingzhou. ”

Guo Chong said with a smile, "After all, King Jin gave us a city in vain, and if we don't give something in return, we really don't want to go." "They are all people of conscience.

Yue Shu also said, "We have been on the expedition for so long, and we just landed in Dongtai County and Jiangdu at that time. The little ones are looking forward to the event. ”

Sun Congyi smacked his mouth, these seniors were full of fighting spirit.

Qin Zhao looked at the map and asked Guo Chong, "Mr. Guo, which of the four places do you think is weaker in Yancheng, Xinghua, Gaoyou, and Guangling County?" ”

These four places were adjacent to Pandongtai County and Jiangdu in the northwest, which they occupied.

Xie Wei is now leading troops to garrison the four places, just to guard against them.

Guo Chong stroked his beard and said, "The imperial court will definitely focus on guarding against Yancheng, Xinghua and Guangling County, especially Yancheng and Guangling County." ”

The focus is on preventing Yancheng because Yancheng is in the north. Xie Zhan will inevitably be wary of their Pingzhou Expeditionary Force and Pingzhou Headquarters going in both directions to the north and south, and strive to open up the path from Pingzhou to the East China Sea.

The imperial court will definitely try to prevent their expeditionary force from connecting with the headquarters.

The same is true for heavy troops in Xinghua.

As for guarding against Guangling County, it is because if they take Guangling, they can better connect Dongtai County, Jiangdu and Qutao.

As far as the Pingzhou Expeditionary Force is concerned, these three have different meanings, and they can be regarded as important soldiers.

Only Gaoyou is the only place that is not so significant to the Pingzhou Expeditionary Force?

Analyzing this, Sun Congyi pointed to the map and asked curiously, "Then which county should we attack first this time?" ”

Qin Zhao and Guo Chong looked at each other and smiled, "That must be Gaoyou." ”

"Eat something soft first, and add a little grain and grass by the way."

Sun Congyi: ......

He thought that Third Brother Qin said before that he didn't have to worry about the problem of grain and grass because he had enough grain and grass in his hands, so they had to grab this grain and grass in person?

Qin Zhao smiled but did not speak.

Yue Shu looked at the map, nodded and said, "It is estimated that the imperial court would not have imagined that our Pingzhou Expeditionary Force would attack Gaoyou, which was useless, under the premise of being weak. ”

After occupying Gaoyou, they can go south or north.

Sun Congyi touched his smooth chin, "Xie Zhan, the governor of the soldiers and horses, knows about Mr. Guo's existence, is it possible for them to go the opposite way and also deploy heavy troops in Gaoyou?" ”

"Then there is no way, you can only force it."

The formulation of strategies and strategies is logical, if the imperial court really underforces heavily under Gaoyou as Sun Congyi said, it can only be said that they are crazy.

"Let's move like this, hoping to relieve a little pressure on King Jin."

"That's a must."

"General Yue, this attack on Gaoyou will be handed over to you." Qin Zhao said.

"What about our Sun Jiajun?" Sun Congyi hurriedly asked.

Qin Zhao told him, "The supreme general in charge of garrisoning Yancheng, Xinghua, Gaoyou, and Guangling County is Xie Wei, who was in charge of your previous expedition to the Southern Army. You Sun Jiajun should not be exposed too early, how about you fight in the back this time? ”

"Yes." Although Sun Congyi really wants to take Sun Jiajun to make meritorious contributions, he knows the priorities, and so many of Sun Jiajun's family members are still in Chang'an.

When he leads his troops into battle, he will also wear armor and masks, and try not to meet the court generals.

……

On this day, Ning Changge asked to see Lu Songli.

Ning Changge's face was very bad, "Governor-"

"What's wrong?"

"My subordinate received a letter from home." As he spoke, Ning Changge presented the letter with both hands.

Jiang Yizhou stepped forward to take it and presented it to Lu Songli.

Jiang Yizhou is now the chief secretary of the governor's office, responsible for assisting Lu Songli in handling a variety of official duties, which is equivalent to the position of secretary general of the office in later generations.

Lu Songli took a while to read the letter, which mainly said that Ning Changge and his grandmother were seriously ill and asked him to go back to the south.

"The elder is seriously ill, and he really should go back." Lu Songli said.

"Governor, not only have I received a letter from home, but also our scholars in the Southland."

"Huh?"

Ning Changge said with a solemn expression, "All the family letters, all of them are openly and secretly calling us back. This made him have to suspect that there was something wrong with the safety of his family.

"What do the others say?" Lu Songli asked.

"Most of them want to go back and see."

"Okay, I got it. If any of you want to go back and take a look, count it, report it, and I'll arrange it. ”

Ning Changge was stunned for a moment, "Governor, are you willing to let us go?" ”

To be honest, Ning Changge was surprised that the governor didn't hesitate or embarrass at all, so he decided to let them go. After all, their group of people can be regarded as having a small place in Pingzhou, and if they all leave, it will also have an impact on Pingzhou.

Lu Songli smiled, "I said that we come and go freely in Pingzhou. Besides, there is no feast in the world that will not be dispersed. But you have to do the relevant work well. ”

"Don't worry, Governor." At this time, Ning Changge was extremely glad that Pingzhou was full of talents, at least there were a group of students in Liaodong Academy who could take over the work in their hands.

Ning Changge hesitated for a moment and asked, "Governor, if we return to the Southland, the imperial court will let us ......."

It's not that he thinks highly of himself, but that after more than a year of training in Pingzhou, his level of local governance is no worse than that of the county orders he has seen before.

"Then out!" Lu Songli said, "In the future, no matter where you are, if you have the opportunity to use your talents to benefit the people, you will do it." You just need to remember that what you are doing is beneficial to the Han people. ”

Ning Changge is like a seed cultivated in Pingzhou, scattered all over Dali.

"Governor-" Ning Changge saw in Lu Songli that a superior person had the mind of the world.

For a while, Ning Changge wanted to ask the governor if there was any way to take out their family members. But he quickly dispelled this impulse, because he knew that it was difficult, Nandi was Xie Zhan's base camp, and their Pingzhou forces were so far away that they couldn't reach it.

Ning Changge was very sad, he really learned a lot in more than a year in Pingzhou. Pingzhou is a wonderful place, where he has a group of like-minded friends.

Seeing that he was sad, Lu Songli changed the topic with a smile, "You guys go back by water, hurry up." ”

"But didn't the Cao Gang and our Pingzhou temporarily break off cooperation?"

"Don't worry, no problem." Lu Songli felt that if Xie Zhan wanted to lure Ning Changge, a gentleman from the south, back to the south, he would definitely not let this matter become a problem. You have to know how fast you can walk by water.
