Eastern Jin Invincible Iron Army

Chapter 245 Take the Prime Minister's Seedless Prince for Himself

Facing the continuous underground nests outside the city, Xi Chao asked curiously: "Why did the governor Gao put the refugees underground? Isn't it easier to build a house than a basement?"

Cui Yidao: "The governor has been mobilizing the refugees to build houses, but no matter how fast the construction is, it can't keep up with the speed of the refugees coming. As the weather suddenly turned cold, the governor ordered the humble officers to use the trenches, traffic ditches and bunkers..."

"So that's it!" Xi Chao stroked his beard and said with a slight smile, "This high governor is really interesting..."

He squinted at Ji Kan: "There are rumors that this high-ranking governor, who has been famous all over the world in recent months, doesn't seem to be from the old camp of Jizi?"

Ji Kan nodded and said: "That's right, Dudu Gao came to Guishen for the first time. At the beginning, I saw that he was weak and small, and I didn't expect him to be of much use... Who would have thought that every time he made a move, he would be astonishing. In just a few months , just break into such a big career.”

"You can't judge by appearance!" Xi Chao exclaimed.From the completion of such a large-scale fortification, it can be seen that Gao Jingzong was not sure of winning against the Yan army's counterattack at the beginning, and he had already prepared for the worst.Such fortifications, if activated, will be a huge meat grinder, which can cause maximum casualties to the Yan army.

"Gao Dudu can accomplish something, which is beyond my expectation!" Ji Kan also sighed: "In the first battle with Tian Bao, Gao Dudu stopped talking about killing the enemy, and he vomited faintly while standing on the battlefield. Thinking of him, he could defeat the famous generals Murong Chui and Murong De of the Yan State in succession, defeating the Yan Army in succession."

"There is no such thing as a general, the prince will take it himself!" Xi Chao said with a smile: "The Beifu Army can be said to be a hidden dragon and crouching tiger. The world has heard that there are three generals in the Beifu, nine generals and eighteen fierce. I wonder if the commander can recommend one or two?"

Ji Kan said repeatedly: "I'm ashamed... I'm afraid I have disappointed Mr. Xi. Now that the governor Gao is in the north and the deputy commander-in-chief is in the west, Sui County is just an empty shelf. I am afraid that thousands of Yan troops can force Sui County to go three times a day. shock."

Xi Chao said: "Since Gao Dudu has won so many victories, why didn't he report his victory to the court? Chaotian is a doctor of the Ministry of officials, but he has never heard of the victory of the Beifu army."

Both Ji Kan and Cui Cheng froze and stood there in a daze.

The focus of Gao Jingzong's propaganda in the army was the inaction of the imperial court. If he reported victory to the imperial court, it would be a slap in the face. Therefore, starting from the battle of Fengxian, then the battle of Suixian, the battle of Yanzhou, Qingzhou's successive victories, and now Qingzhou Liberation, but did not report victory to the Eastern Jin court.

"Ji Shuai, Cui Changshi, and Governor Gao may have too many worries." Xi Chao said leisurely: "If you win a battle, you always have to report the victory. What's more, this is the first big victory in recent years. No matter how reluctant the princes are, they will reward you according to your merits. Governor Gao may not have a deep experience in the world, so you two are also confused, and you missed such a great opportunity to show your merits to the court."

Ji Kan's IQ is not low, but his EQ is too low, so he didn't hear Xi Chao's hidden meaning at all.

Cui Cheng laughed loudly and said: "I was born in a reckless family. I don't know where the court's yamen will open. I still ask Xi Canjun to do it for me."

Ji Kan also realized at this time that Huan Wen wanted to share the merits of the Northern Expedition, and he didn't value the credit of the court. Since Huan Wen wanted it, he might as well be a favor.Ji Kan said with a smile: "Gao Dudu's righteous people and Dadudu are still appointed by Da Sima. If he wants to report victory, he should report victory to the imperial court..."

Xi Chao followed Ji Kan and others all the way into Sui County, but about Xi Chao's visit, Xie An and Wang Meng, who was in Sui County, later learned about Xi Chao's visit through their own channels.The two became worried at the same time.

Due to the heavy snow cover, military operations basically stopped.Gao Jingzong did not waste this great opportunity. While helping the refugees against the cold and disaster relief, Gao Jingzong decided to continue training the generals of the Beifu Army.

As a person from the 21st century, if you want to change this era, you can only hope for the people of this era.That single-handedly solution to all problems is foolish and unrealistic.I may have some advantages over ordinary people in this era, but it does not mean that I can easily defeat people in this era by virtue of these advantages.As a time traveler, the only thing Gao Jingzong can do is to sprinkle some kindling. As for whether these kindling can be ignited in the end, it depends on many objective situations.

The extremely low productivity is a problem that no one can avoid. Now the Beifu Army has more than [-] soldiers, which is very abnormal.Although Gao Jingzong could persist for a period of time and feed such a huge army, in fact, in the long run, he would definitely be left alone.

It is impossible to maintain such a huge army for a long time, and it is almost impossible to build a brand new army under such conditions.Since the middle-level officers of the Beifu Army are all promoted generals of the Ran Wei Army, they are almost replicas of the Ran Wei Army.The Beifu army fought desperately, and their combat effectiveness was not weak, but they were still far away from the army Gao Jingzong had dreamed of.

Ran Weijun is not out of date, just a killing machine.While killing the enemy, Ran Weijun paid a very high price.Gao Jingzong did not want to copy this model, he wanted to build a team of truly mighty teachers and civilized teachers.

Gao Jingzong's ultimate goal is not to build an army similar to the peak of the cold weapon era like the Tang Army, but a new concept of hot weapon troops. In the future, muskets, cannons, and even airships will be equipped with the army one after another.Such an army is afraid that none of the generals of the Beifu Army can adapt to such a change.

"Xi guest came to Sui County, isn't the governor going to see him?" Xie Daoyun saw that Gao Jingzong didn't intend to leave at all, but seemed to be writing a book, Xie Daoyun became more puzzled.

Gao Jingzong said: "Is it important to see or not to see?"

"Why is it not important?" Xie Daoyun said: "Xi Guest is a famous scholar in Jiangzuo, and if he is neglected here, it may not be good for the governor's reputation."

Gao Jingzong showed a maturity that didn't match his age: "This question, you have to look at the essence."

"Nature?"

"That's right!" Gao Jingzong nodded and said, "Where did Xi Chao come from?"

Xie Daoyun shook his head.

"Don't worry about it." Gao Jingzong said with a smile: "I have never regarded you as a woman, because I know that most men are not as good as you at all!"

Xie Daoyun said thoughtfully: "Xi Chao must have come here on behalf of Sima Huan to recruit the governor!"

"That's right! Correct answer!" Gao Jingzong said: "Since he came here to win me over, why should I rush to see him? I have self-knowledge, and I don't understand politics at all. In terms of resourcefulness and means, I must be inferior to Xi. Such an old fox, why should I take my own weaknesses to the opponent's strengths."

Xie Daoyun hesitated: "Will you be rude?"

"Will you be rude!" Gao Jingzong said, "I'll talk about this question later, now I say, you write:"

Xie Daoyun sat down with a pen and paper.

Gao Jingzong said: "Preparing Zhou is lazy, and seeing it is not doubting. Yin is within Yang, not against Yang. Sun, Taiyin.... It is better to divide the enemy than to share the enemy. The enemy's yang is not as good as the enemy's yin. ... The enemy is clear, and the friend Undecided, lead friends to kill enemies. Don't contribute by yourself, use "Loss" to deduce...
