Chapter 156: Risky Strategies
Gao Yuan stared at Zhang Shubao intently, with no expression on his face, but he was amazed in his heart. As a human being in his second life, the bloody career in his previous life gave him extraordinary powers of observation, but in Zhang Shubao's body However, he was mistaken, the carefree, brash second son of the Zhang family in the county town, who seemed to have no city in his chest, was really not an ordinary person.
Thinking about it, I feel relieved, Zhang Shubao has pretended for so many years, and he has not shown the slightest flaw in front of Zhang Shouyue. Who is Zhang Shouyue? Gao Yuan doesn't think that he is better than Zhang Shouyue in knowing people. Keep it secret, let alone myself, after all, I have only met Zhang Shubao a few times.
"Help me!" Zhang Shubao looked at Gao Yuan and said earnestly.
"Brother Zhang, I'm just a small county captain, how can I help you, how can I help you?" Gao Yuan said.
Zhang Shubao smiled calmly, pulled a chair, and sat across from Gao Yuan, "Gao Yuan, do you know? My father and brothers value you very much and think you are a great talent. My father doesn't say anything else. It's definitely not wrong just to look at people. The reason why you were not transferred to the county town was because of Linghudan's relationship. It doesn’t matter if you get under his nose, right? Secondly, my father also hopes that you can practice a little bit more. He said that you are still too young, and he sent you to the county town. You are not happy because your position is low. If the position is high, others will not be very happy."
"The prefect fell in love wrongly." Gao Yuan said with a smile.
"It's not wrong love, but you have this capital." Zhang Shubao said: "My father will not misjudge people, and I will not misjudge people. If you can help me, it depends on whether you are willing to help me."
Zhang Shubao pressed on step by step, Gao Yuan hesitated for a moment, he wanted to force himself to express his opinion, to be honest, he didn't want to get involved in this kind of infighting among the rich and powerful families, but he had to bow his head under the eaves. As long as I am still under the rule of Liaoxi County, I can't avoid this, just like Huang Desheng, and my uncle Lu Hong, they will finally stand in line one day.
In the past, everyone didn't have this idea because Zhang Shubao didn't show his majesty. Now, Zhang Shubao, the tiger, has come out of the cage. I'm afraid it won't be long before the people of Liaoxi County will stand in line.
"How can I help you? I'm just a small county lieutenant now. I have no strength or influence. I'm afraid I can only help you!" Gao Yuan took a deep breath and finally made a decision.
Zhang Shubao laughed loudly, "Gao Yuan, you are too self-effacing. I have been in Fufeng for a few days. Before I came, I also figured out many things. The strength of your current subordinates is completely comparable to that of Fufeng. My left army is now, in Liaoxi County, this is already a great force. What's more, your influence is not only limited to military power, but more importantly, it is above financial power."
Gao Yuan's heart skipped a beat.
"You have great influence on Wu Kai,
And now, Wu's wine business has become my father's biggest financial source." Zhang Shubao continued.
"The prefect is very clear about how promising Wu's wine is, Brother Zhang. You can't make such an idea." Gao Yuan was startled.
"Don't be so nervous. Wu's Liquor is getting bigger and bigger now, and the income is increasing. I don't want much, and 20,000 to 30,000 yuan a year is enough." Zhang Shubao smiled and said, "It's hard to do things without money." , my little brothers are all having a hard time. I don’t use the money to do other things, but to supplement these brothers. You really gave me a lot of money to expand the army, I Don’t dare to do it yet, isn’t this blatantly putting eye drops on the old man?”
Gao Yuan heaved a sigh of relief, "Twenty to thirty thousand is still no problem. It will come out after squeezing, and Lao Wu will not be stingy with this money."
Zhang Shubao smiled and said, "It's much better for you to do this than for me to open my mouth."
"No problem, I'll talk to Old Wu!" Gao Yuan said with a smile, "That's all?"
"Of course it's more than that, it's just a trivial matter!" Zhang Shubao said: "I want to do a big thing, a chance for everyone in Liaoxi County to recognize me, Zhang Shubao, and reevaluate me."
"You mean?" Gao Yuan asked tentatively.
"Now my father's thoughts are all on how to destroy Linghu Chao, and how to get the court to agree to the feudal Liaoxi County. For the time being, I don't care about Fufeng, Chima and other places. If the King of Donghu really makes a big attack, there will be no end for my father." If so, then giving up these places is a last resort, but I don't want to give up." Zhang Shubao stood up, took a few steps, and looked back at Gao Yuan, "I want to fight this battle, Gao Yuan, as I said earlier, help me Just helping yourself, not joking. I want to defeat the Donghu people so that they cannot enter the west of Liaoning."
Gao Yuan was taken aback, "It's up to you, me? Donghu King's posture is a large-scale mobilization. When the time comes, one mouthful of spit will drown us."
"Our strength is not too light, you, I, if necessary, can also mobilize the strength of the victorious general."
"There are only more than 3,000 people! And they are all infantry. It is barely possible to defend the city, but it is almost impossible for you to win this battle!" Gao Yuan shook his head.
"Gao Yuan, since you joined the army, haven't you been fighting more with less? When you wiped out La Trobe, how many people did you have? In the past six months, you have frequently attacked. When did your enemy have fewer troops than you? Didn’t they all win? Think of a way for me, I know, you will definitely be able to figure out a way.” Zhang Shubao laughed.
Gao Yuan was stunned, "Brother Zhang, I want to fight this battle with you, but I don't think about how to fight back at all, do I?"
Zhang Shubao laughed loudly, "I came to Fufeng, here is you, you think for me, why should I waste my brain, this makes people make the best use of it."
Gao Yuan looked at Zhang Shubao, at this moment, he seemed to see that rough and rogue soldier in Liaoxi County again, but he understood that this was just an illusion.
"Do you really want to fight?" Gao Yuan asked.
"Fighting, of course, the premise is that you come up with a good way. If you don't fight, you're done. If you want to fight, you must win. Otherwise, not only will you fail to succeed, but you will become a laughing stock that fails to succeed and fails!" Zhang Shubao said: "Gao Yuan, this is my chance, and it is also your chance. If you win this battle, I, Zhang Shubao, will never treat you badly."
Gao Yuan stood up, walked behind Zhang Shubao, and looked at the huge map on the wall. This was brought by Zhang Shubao from the county town, and it was much more detailed than the one in Fufeng West. Some details that cannot be seen on the map are clearly marked on it.
"This is the map hanging in my father's study room. It took me a long time to copy a copy without any errors!" Zhang Shubao walked up to Gao Yuan and stood shoulder to shoulder with him.
Gao Yuan's eyes flicked slowly across the map, and the settlements of the Donghu tribe were clear at a glance. Helin City in the distance was drawn with a red ink brush very conspicuously.
After thinking for a moment, he turned his head and looked at Zhang Shubao, "General Zhang, this battle is impossible to fight, we can't win at all."
Hearing this, Zhang Shubao couldn't help being very disappointed, "You really think so, this battle is really impossible to fight, I told General Victory, and he made me give up."
"Fight, it's true that we can't fight, but we can prevent the Donghu people from coming to attack, but there is no way." Gao Yuan put his hands on the map, "I really couldn't do anything before, because the two thousand cavalrymen of Tirasu stood on top of them." I am in front of me, and I dare not leave Juliguan, but now that you are here, and you want to fight this battle, there is room for my ideas to be implemented."
When Zhang Shubao heard this, he couldn't help being overjoyed, "You kid, half-talking, you want to scare me to death, tell me, how to play, how can we stop Donghu King Miranda from coming to attack the side, you know, our As soon as you move your head, King Donghu will definitely send troops."
"So, let's fight ahead of them!" Gao Yuan clenched his fist and hit a point on the drawing heavily, "Here, this is here!"
"Yulin?" Zhang Shubao lost his voice.
"Yes, Yulin." Gao Yuan turned around, "It is impossible for us to wait until Donghu King Miranda gathers a large army to fight against him. At that time, with the strength we have, we will completely attack the stone with an egg. At that time, We may not be able to defend the city, so we have to take the initiative."
"Hit Yulin?" Zhang Shubao excitedly said.
"It's not a fight, it's a sneak attack!" Gao Yuan smiled and said, "Where is Miranda's third son, Thorpe, stationed there in Yulin, with 3,000 elite cavalry under his command, and Yulin is about 500 li away from Fufeng, where Miranda attacked Our logistics battalion in western Liaoning has a large amount of food and grass that Miranda has accumulated for this attack. If there is a loss of this batch of food and grass, can Miranda accumulate food and grass that can be eaten by the army before the rush?"
"Wonderful!" Zhang Shubao slammed his fist on the blueprint, looking at Gao Yuan, "So you have already been thinking about Gao Yuan and Yulin, how come you are so clear about it?"
"Two ways!" Gao Yuan said with a smile, "One is the caravan from Dayan to Helin, and the other is the news from friends of the Huns, which is very reliable."
"Five hundred miles to attack Yulin, the risk is not small!" Zhang Shubao said.
"Compared to waiting for Miranda to fight him head-on, this is the best way. It seems risky, but the possibility of success is very high, because the enemy never imagined that we would dare to travel such a long distance into the opponent's hinterland to attack Yulin. They didn't expect it to be our chance of victory. A surprise attack on Yulin, and then we concentrated our strength and annihilated Tirasu, which is considered a pretty good victory." Gao Yuan said.
"Okay, how to fight this battle is up to you." Zhang Shubao said with a smile, "How sure are you going to fight Yulin?"
Gao Yuan laughed in his heart, this second young master is really good, he just came up with his idea, and he immediately hit the nail on his feet, let himself go to Yulin, if he succeeded, he would gain the most, but if he failed, he would not have much to lose The loss was great, so I still carried out Zhang Shouyue's previous policy, kept it, and ran away if I couldn't keep it.
But I can never tolerate such a thing happening. My foundation is in Fufeng. Once Fufeng is over, I will become a rootless duckweed. Even for myself, I have to stop the iron hooves of Donghu people Raging Fufeng.
