Governor please stay

Chapter 450

Ever since Zu Teng mentioned the plan to attack Nanxiang and burn the enemy's food and grass that day, although Gao Cheng did not agree, this matter has been circling in his mind, and he would bring it up to think about it from time to time.

The more Gao Cheng thought about it, the more he felt that there was a door!Even the things that I think are crazy, the enemy must not have expected.In fact, Gao Cheng's guess was correct. When Wei Xiaokuan made the retreat plan, he really took this factor into consideration. Nanxiang stayed away from Wancheng and the main battlefield.

Nanxiang is three or four hundred miles northwest of Wancheng, and the cavalry can attack at the fastest speed, and it takes two to three days for a one-way trip.I don't know what will happen during this period, if there is a slight accident, it is just to die.

But the temptation is also great, because it is definitely impossible for ordinary people to carry out such a crazy plan, and it is impossible for the enemy to guard against it under normal circumstances!
The more Gao Cheng thought about it, the more tempted he became. If this trick can be successful and the food and grass of Daxi's military department can be burned, the whole game of chess will come alive, and there is no need to waste time with the Cui brothers in Nanyang for a long time.

And as the eldest son of Gao Huan, the designated successor, he will also gain fame because of this battle, and make those who secretly look down on him in the Tyrant Mansion shut up quickly.

On this day, Gao Cheng brought Zu Ting over, and the two went to the study to discuss secretly.

"Zu Xiaozheng, can your trick really work?"

Gao Cheng asked with some uncertainty.He had to participate in this battle in person in order to show his abilities.If you encourage other people to go, he will be criticized by thousands of people if he loses, and the benefits of winning are all for others, and he will get nothing in the end.

Just because he had to do it himself, Gao Cheng had to figure out how big the real risk was!
"My lord, this matter seems to be dangerous, but it is actually as stable as Mount Tai. Guanzhong has few soldiers, and it is necessary to protect Wancheng. The grain and grass were transferred to Nanxiang, so they could start directly.

If they don't move, we don't move either, naturally there is no risk, and the son doesn't have to worry. "

Zu Ting said with confidence.He didn't think it was a good idea to attack Nanxiang just for the sake of Gao Cheng, but it still depends on whether Da Xiwu and the others "cooperate".

"I don't think it's advisable to capture Nanxiang, but... setting fire to a granary is still very interesting."

Gao Cheng smiled charmingly, his handsome face showed a twist of cunning and excitement.

"But Gao Yue definitely disagrees! What should I do?"

Gao Cheng scratched his head in distress again, he didn't think highly of this clan uncle, and usually called him by his first name in private.

"Perhaps, you can find General Dou, after all, he is my uncle."

Zu Ting suggested calmly.

Dou Tai is the husband of Lou Zhaojun's younger sister, and his relationship with Gao Cheng is closer than Gao Yue's on weekdays.More importantly, Dou Tai is not the main player this time, and he also has his own interests.

"good."

Gao Cheng nodded slightly in agreement.In fact, he also thought so in his heart, Gao Yue could not agree to this action, and those generals who were not relatives or relatives did not intend to get close to him.

Only Dou Tai, who was born as a general in Tongwan Town, has his own army and horses, and is a relative of his mother, can be trusted.

"If that's the case, then you can go to the front line hard." Gao Cheng said to Zu Ting.

"My son, to show my sincerity, it's better for my son to go in person." Zu Ting said with some embarrassment.

Soldier against soldier, general against general, king against king.May I ask, how can Zu Teng win people's trust with his status as a "dog leg" in the eyes of others?I'm afraid Dou Tai will not feel Gao Cheng's "sincerity", but will feel humiliated instead.

To ask for help, you must have the low profile of asking for help.

"Alright, anyway, I'm tired of staying in this ocher city, so you can follow me to visit Baihe."

Gao Cheng sighed, and deeply felt what the common saying "good things take long" really happened.

……

On the school field in Xiangyang City, there are 25 rows across and [-] rows standing in neat rows. The distance between each person is almost the same, leaving about the distance between the arms of two adults.

These people are all wearing only single clothes and long trousers.The lower body seems to be keeping warm, but the upper body is really thin, with both arms exposed.

They stood like stone statues, motionless.

Yang Zhong and Hu Luxian followed closely behind Liu Yishou, walking through the team, observing everyone quietly.

"My lord, these people are the ones who are proficient in riding and shooting according to the master's request. They are not the only children in the family. They can lead the way for the lord, and they can rush to the front line at any time!
Once killed in battle, the family will also have generous pensions, and brothers in the family can also be arranged to serve in the army. "

Yang Zhong said cautiously.

Liu Yishou still kept his hands behind his back and walked back and forth in the team.

It has to be said that this is indeed the elite of the elite. After an hour of drying in the snow, goose bumps formed on his body, but he remained motionless.

"Soldiers are not more than skill, this time you did a good job."

After a long time, Liu Yishou nodded slightly and said.Yang Zhong's hanging heart was finally relieved.

When the White Robe Army was killing all directions in the north, the strategy of selecting the best from the best and the best from the best attracted Liu Yishou's attention.

In order to be consistent, it is required that the army formation be strict, the commander and general should be dispatched reasonably, and no loopholes should be left.There are requirements for the strength of troops, and for the training level of soldiers, it is only required to reach the level of "strict orders".

No matter how personal martial arts are, when the two armies confront each other, there is not much room for display.On the contrary, it will test the commander's command ability even more.

However, when it comes to the link of "winning by surprise", the requirements for elite soldiers have been greatly increased!The chief general's dispatch before the battle has become a secondary factor.

With fewer and better soldiers, the pressure on logistics can be greatly reduced, and some unconstrained tactical operations can also be carried out.This time Liu Yishou's request was only 500 people.

If not, then take 300 people!Rather lack than abuse!
After the last "Military Games", these people's skills and tactics stood out. Yang Zhong eliminated a group of people who were not strong enough, and finally there were only 500 people left.

"Count your scout team, and make up 600 people."

Liu Yishou said to Hu Luxian.

"Good my lord."

Hu Luxian nodded and didn't talk nonsense.

"Okay, let's disband. In the near future, these people must ensure the best food, and each meal must have meat. They must be able to reach the state of being ready to attack at any time. After the military order is issued, within half an hour, they can attack with one person and two horses at any time. "

"Decree! The general will prepare now." Yang Zhong suppressed the excitement in his heart and said.He knew that the moment of decisive battle was coming.

The two of them followed Liu Yishou to the study of the government office, only to find that the big wooden board had been covered by a piece of canvas, on which was a newly drawn detailed map of Nanyang.

After all, Nanyang County was controlled by the Southern Dynasty for a long time in the past, and the official map is not difficult to find.This map is densely marked with a lot of information that was not there before.For example, information on tributaries of large rivers such as Danshui and Baihe.

"You escort a batch of food and grass to Guangping County (Laohekou City), and then lead troops to station there. Once the spring is warm and the flowers bloom, the Sand Sculpture King will be in charge of investigating the movement in Nanxiang, and General Yang will be in charge of training the troops. When you find Da Xiwu's troops If you go to Nanxiang to collect grain, you can consider burning the grain and grass.

Guangping County is less than two hundred miles south of Nanxiang, and it is already the nearest place.After you leave, I will send more troops to the west of Xiangyang and make a gesture of attacking Hanzhong.You are in Guangping County, and you are pretending to be the vanguard of attacking Hanzhong. "

After Liu Yishou finished speaking, seeing Hu Luxian's confused face, he asked curiously, "I've made it so clear, do you have any questions?"

"My lord, I'm thinking, why don't Da Xiwu and the others transport grain back to Guanzhong directly from Deng County, instead of storing grain in Nanxiang?"

Hu Luxian still can't figure out what kind of complicated logic this is.

"That's a good question."

Liu Yishou nodded, Hu Luxian was born in the northern grasslands, and lacked a deep understanding of places densely covered with water networks, which is not a big deal.

"Dan River has a tributary that can reach the territory of Deng County. But this tributary is very narrow and cannot accommodate large ships. If you want to transport grain to Guanzhong, small boats will definitely not work.

Wei Xiaokuan's plan should be to hoard food and grass to Nanxiang through the tributary of Danshui like ants moving, and then change to a larger ship in Nanxiang to transport the food and grass to a place not far outside Wuguan in one go.

At that time, He Bayue will send troops out of Wuguan to meet the grain and grass.The road through Wuguan is not easy to travel by land, and there are fewer people and it is impossible to transport grain.

Think about it, getting out of Wuguan itself is a risky job.How could He Bayue send people over and over again to take care of that small amount of food? "

These concepts are difficult for Hu Luxian to understand, but Liu Yishou easily judged Wei Xiaokuan's intentions at the beginning.Just like in his previous life, the ships on the river transported the goods to the seaport where the outlet was located, unloaded the goods, and then the wharf facilities transferred the goods to the container ships and then went to sea to the destination thousands of miles away.

Those large container ships can't drive in the inland river, and the small boats in the inland river can't sail on the sea.By analogy, the thinking of Wei Xiaokuan and others is easy to grasp.This has nothing to do with the general's IQ, it's purely a matter of knowledge.

"My lord, what kind of effect do you want to achieve in this battle?"

Yang Zhong asked in a deep voice.

Nanxiang was easy to attack and difficult to defend, and it was hard to take it down, and it took a lot of manpower and material resources to defend it.Yang Zhong needed clear instructions from Liu Yishou.

Of course, if you can't defend the city, you don't defend the city.

"Just as I said before, burn the food and grass and leave. There is no need to occupy the land. Even if it is an empty city, don't occupy it."

Liu Yishou said nonchalantly, he believed that Yang Zhong could comprehend the key point.

Yang Zhong understood immediately that Liu Yishou didn't seem to intend to kill all the troops from Guanzhong.There can be less food and grass, and there is no need to block Da Xiwu's retreat.If he really wanted to wipe them all out, Liu Yishou had a solution, and he wouldn't be as quiet as he is now.

If the entire army of Daxi's military force is wiped out this time, then He Bayue's vitality will definitely be seriously injured.In this way, he would not have the strength to fight for Hedong.

There was no Yubi City in this era, and Gao Huan had already won the land of Xihe in Jinzhou, and further west was Hedong.At that time, what about Er Zhurong? Anyway, after Gao Huan won Hedong, he will go straight to Guanzhong!
With his vitality seriously injured, He Bayue couldn't stop Gao Huan.

And if Gao Huan won Guanzhong, Liu Yishou didn't dare to think about what would happen later.

After Yang Zhong and others left, Liu Yishou quietly looked at the large map hanging in front of him.

He's finally in!When the time comes to hit this wave of "left hook", I don't know how powerful it will be.

Liu Yishou deeply felt that the coach of the three armed forces is really a high-pressure and high-risk profession.

Of course, it also comes with high returns.

……

"Your Majesty, did you mean to attack Nanxiang?"

On the bank of the Baihe River, Dou Tai nominally accompanied Gao Cheng to "tour the scenery" while discussing the matter of dispatching troops to Nanxiang.

Dou Tai felt that Gao Cheng's idea could not only be tried, but also "very interesting" based on his years of fighting on the battlefield.

"Back to Uncle, it is true. I think that once we find out about the situation, we can send troops to Nanxiang to burn the grain and grass. If we succeed, we will be able to break the situation."

Gao Cheng said solemnly.

"Well, it's not impossible."

Dou Tai was quite moved, but still a little worried.

The distance between Wancheng and Nanxiang is not too short. In order to avoid the enemy's scouts, they had to go north first and then detour west.In this way, it is difficult to avoid any accidents that may occur on the road.

It is indeed a good strategy, but whether to implement it is still in doubt.Dou Tai came to such a conclusion.

"Your Majesty, why not go back to Ocher City first, and don't need your Majesty to do it yourself."

Dou Tai said with a sigh.

He knew very well in his heart that if this wave did not bring Gao Cheng to make a surprise attack, it would still feel very tricky.With the example of Cao Cao attacking Wuchao and defeating Yuan Shao, Gao Cheng's proposal is undoubtedly very attractive.

But Dou Tai is not a fool, he knows very well in his heart that Gao Cheng is rushing to "make military achievements".Taking other people's military exploits and putting them on his own head is what Gao Cheng wants to do.

If he sent troops alone and succeeded in the end, how would Gao Cheng feel?Dou Tai didn't think that this "Little Gao Wang" was some kind of open-minded master.

For a while, Dou Tai was caught in a dilemma.

"Uncle, if you win a big victory this time, you will surely be credited. But if you lose, you can say that I threatened you to do so. When my father finds out about it, he won't blame you. "

Gao Cheng threw out a trump card.

Dou Tai was silent.

They have all stated their positions in front of Lou Zhaojun, and they want to support Gao Yue this time, so they can't mess up the situation.

What do you mean by smashing things?
Without Gao Yue's order, leading troops to attack the enemy's granary hundreds of miles away is a typical smashing situation.If you lose, you will be killed according to the military law, and if you win, you may not be able to fall well.

Without Gao Cheng, no matter whether he wins or loses, the ending can be imagined.

But with Gao Cheng, if you lose, you will have a talisman, and if you win, it will be Gao Cheng's "highlight moment".With Gao Cheng having such great military achievements, his succession will be a matter of course in the future, so how could Gao Yue be serious on this occasion?
At that time, everyone will praise Gao Cheng as a young hero or something, maybe Gao Yue will go along with the flow and say that he also knows about this, and everything will be perfect?
"I'll think about it for a day, and I'll give you an answer before dawn."

Dou Tai nodded slightly and said to Gao Cheng.

As soon as he heard this, Gao Cheng knew that the matter was more than half done.He hurriedly bowed his hands and said: "Then I will go back to Ocher City first, and wait for the good news from my uncle."

After he and Zu Ting left, Dou Tai felt that he and Gao Huan's generation were getting old gradually, and even Gao Cheng and his like were gradually getting involved in government and military affairs. !

　The pace of the Battle of Nanyang is not slow. You can’t ignore the narrative just because of the aura of the protagonist. You have to explain the story well. Every battle is not a repeat of the past battle. Otherwise, there will be many flaws in the battle situation, and you will not be interested in watching it.The enemy will not do some unthinkable things for no reason, the logic must be self-consistent, and the things that should be explained must be explained clearly.
