Chapter 323: Thinking
He casually snapped off a branch extending from the top of his head, and randomly sketched some lines on the ground that outsiders might not understand, but in Gao Yuan's eyes, it represented a clear map.
"General, this is the place!" The branch in Jiang Jiaquan's hand poked a small hole where several lines meet.
"This place should be controlled by the Huns!" Gao Yuan glanced at Jiang Jiaquan suspiciously. "I'm not very familiar with this place."
"This place is called Jishi Mountain, General, have you seen where he is?" Jiang Jiaquan smiled, and the branch made a few gestures on the line.
Gao Yuan's eyes lit up: "Not to mention, the location of Jishi Mountain is really special. It is about the same distance from the borders of Yan and Zhao, and it's just within the range of cavalry raids in a day."
"More than that!" Jiang Jiaquan said: "The Huns have been defeated. The Qin people set up Shannan County in order to contain Zhao Guo. This Jishi Mountain is not far from the Qin Army's Shannan County. It only takes a few days to gallop fast. .Here is now becoming a node, general, hold this place, and you will not be able to advance and retreat freely in the future."
"These three forces haven't seen this yet?" Gao Yuan asked worriedly.
"The people of Qin just established Shannan County, and now they are busy emigrating and stationing troops. While stationing in the city, they also have to clean up the Huns in Shannan County. It is not easy for a county with nothing to really play its role. As for the matter, the current governor of Qin Guoshan Nan County is probably in a state of confusion, and his eyes can't pay attention to this place for a while. Of course, if he is slowed down, he will definitely not let this place go. As for Zhao Guodai County, this time The Huns penetrated hundreds of miles into the territory and suffered heavy losses. Now they are trying their best to restore people's livelihood, and at the same time they have to guard against the Qin people. Where is the air control here? And the Yan Kingdom is the strict governor of Hejian County. This person, Does General Gao think he has such ambition and vision?"
Gao Yuan clasped his palms together and laughed, "In other words, this is a gift from God to me."
"That's right, General, send a team to take root here. By the time the people of Qin come to their senses, this place is already indestructible. Jishi Mountain is not only important for its location, but more importantly, it has a source of water and development around it. Space, now that the Huns are defeated, and there are endless lands to the north that can be managed by the generals, these places are now unclaimed lands."
Gao Yuan smiled. "This is not a no-man's land, this is the place of the Huns."
"The Xiongnu will no longer be an influential force. I heard that the general has a good relationship with the Helan Department of the Xiongnu?"
"Not just good, now. They're staying at Juriguan and I'm interested in bringing them under my wing.
"Gao Yuan said.
"It couldn't be better like this." Jiang Jiaquan clapped his hands and smiled, "If there is a Helan tribe, when the general enters Jishi Mountain, it can minimize the resentment of the Huns, and even attract them for his own use. Now on the grassland. The Huns The power of the people has declined, and there are only a handful of tribes that can gather more than a thousand horses and horses, and those small tribes that have fallen down, and those scattered horses and horses, can all be used by the general."
Taking the branch from Jiang Jiaquan, he drew a small circle near Jishi Mountain, and Gao Yuan pondered: "If I want to manage Jishi Mountain, I have to send an army out, and it's best to hide people's eyes and ears, but the army's attack is so huge. It is impossible to hide the momentum from someone who cares."
"It doesn't matter, the general can send troops to lay a foundation at the foot of Jishi Mountain on the grounds that the Huns are harassing and need to wipe out these routs. Next, the general's big wedding will attract more people's attention, and after the big wedding, The general can then announce in a high-profile way that he will march into Donghu. The title of the general is General Zhengdong, and the expedition to Donghu is the meaning of the question. Such a series of big moves will definitely make people dizzy. Who can notice your subordinates Didn’t the small army that sent out to conquer the Xiongnu come back?”
"Sir, you have no plans to spare, and even my marriage has become a tool that can be used!" Gao Yuan shook his head and laughed.
"Two birds with one stone!" Jiang Jiaquan was in a good mood, he knew that Gao Yuan had been completely moved by his persuasion. "Donghu has been a country for a long time, and its foundation is deep. It is impossible to conquer Donghu suddenly. The general may wish to take his time. When going to conquer Donghu, the transfer of troops and materials is justified. Taking this opportunity, we can calmly manage the stockpile. Stone Mountain."
"In other words, the longer this time is delayed, the better!"
"That's right. You didn't come up with a rough result. I reckon Zhou Taiwei would not rush to raise troops. He wants to pick peaches, not to go all out. Moreover, he wants to use the general and The fierce battle between the East and the Hu has continuously weakened the strength of the General, Liaoxi and Langya, so we have plenty of time." Jiang Jiaquan said.
Gao Yuan touched his nose, "Ming Zheng Donghu, secretly operating Jishi Mountain, gradually transferred my foundation to the vicinity of Jishi Mountain."
"That's right, Fufeng Chima belongs to the State of Yan, but Jishi Mountain will belong to you, General. Occupy this place and manage it. If something happens in the future, you can enter Zhao from the west, enter Yan from the south, and attack the Qin people from the north. In Shannan County, when everything goes wrong, you can retreat into the depths of the grassland."
"Although it's a good place, it's also the place of the Fourth World War!" Gao Yuan sighed.
"No, in the future we must pay special attention to defense, only the Qin people! Others are not worth talking about!" Jiang Jiaquan smiled: "General, I think you still have this confidence."
Gao Yuan laughed and stood up, clasped his fists in both hands, and bowed to Jiang Jiaquan, "Mr. Jiang, I am enlisting in the East Mansion, and the post of long history has been vacant. I am waiting for talents to make up for it. Do you have any intention?"
"Stay true to what you want, and dare not ask for it!" Jiang Jiaquan also stood up with a long smile, cupped his fists and bowed to Gao Yuan, "I would like to devote myself to the general's advice in my dying years."
"Wonderful!" Gao Yuan stretched out his hand and took Jiang Jiaquan's arm, "But I invite you to join me in Zhengdong Mansion."
The two stretched out their arms, just as they stepped out of the gate, they bumped into Cao Tiancheng and Wu Kai.
"General Gao!" The two called Gao Yuan in unison, but their eyes fell on Jiang Jiaquan. Speaking of which, Jiang Jiaquan is really in a bit of a mess now. It's dirt, and the hair is unbearable, not much better than a beggar.
"Why did you two come here?" Gao Yuan looked at the two of them in surprise, and suddenly understood why, and couldn't help but cast a sideways glance at Ding Wei, who had already shrunk to the side, bowed his head and laughed in silence.
"The two of you came just in time, and I was just looking for you!" Before the two of them could speak, Gao Yuan said, "This old Mr. Jiang Jiaquan, from today onwards, I will be the chief secretary of the Dongfu. It's a colleague."
Jiang Jiaquan smiled and nodded at the two, "Jiang has just arrived, please take care of Mr. Cao and Mr. Wu."
"Don't dare, dare not!" The two of them clasped their fists together to return the salute, but the smiles on their faces were a little reluctant, and more of them were surprised. From the superficial point of view, the post of Chief History Officer of Zhengdong Mansion was just for General Zhengdong to deal with the situation. In fact, this is an extremely important position. It can be said that this position is the second person in the entire Zhengdong Mansion except General Kai Zhengdong. Who is such a Jiang Jiaquan who is new to this position? Neither of them had heard of this person before, so their eyes turned to Ding Wei involuntarily.
"Let's go back! The two of you haven't had breakfast yet, so we can have dinner together. There are some things that I need to discuss with you!" Gao Yuan said to the two with a smile. Seeing that they both answered with a smile, he turned his head again. Looking at Ding Wei, "Ding Wei, the backyard of my yard used to be a small school yard, let's change it into a back garden, well, transplant a lot of plum blossoms here, all kinds of colors are needed, do it right away, this In winter, I want to see plum blossoms in my backyard."
"Yes, general!" Ding Wei grimaced, thinking that this is really the current time, and in a blink of an eye, the general sent him a hard job.
In the small hall, there are four or five kinds of small dishes, a dozen or so white flour steamed buns, and a bowl of millet porridge for each person. The four of them sit around the small table. Order small dishes and finish in three or five bites, while Wu Kai has always pampered himself and paid more attention to health preservation, Jiang Jiaquan also chewed slowly and methodically, Gao Yuan and Cao Tiancheng had already gone to drink tea, and the other two hadn't finished half of their meal.
"General, who is this guy?" Cao Tiancheng asked in a low voice. "Since I came to a high position, I'm afraid the generals below will have some opinions."
Gao Yuan waved his hand, "Whoever has an opinion, let them come to me. Tian Cheng, to tell you the truth, I have found a treasure. This is a guy with real talents, but he has been unsuccessful."
"The general is sure, don't be fooled by someone, maybe this person is a big fool!" Cao Tiancheng glanced at Jiang Jiaquan sideways.
Gao Yuan shook his head, "Am I that easy to deceive? Tian Cheng, do you know Li Ru?"
"Of course I know Li Ru, isn't General Lu's son worshiped under this person? I heard that he is a great guy with great knowledge." Cao Tiancheng nodded.
"That's right. This Mr. Jiang and Li Rushi are from the same school, and his knowledge is not inferior to him. It's just a combination of circumstances, and there has been no chance to relax."
Cao Tiancheng immediately opened his mouth wide, "You just need to know about this matter, don't tell outsiders about it."
"I understand, I understand!" Cao Tiancheng nodded repeatedly, "If outsiders know that he is Li Ru's fellow disciple, why don't they come to snatch him? But what if he says it himself?"
"He doesn't bother to use Li Ru's golden signboard to decorate his appearance. On the contrary, the two of them have always had a grudge in their hearts, and they have been working hard to prove each other wrong." Gao Yuan laughed.
"General, it seems that this Mr. Jiang is probably wrong. Didn't you see that Li Ru is famous all over the world, but he is unknown?" Cao Tiancheng said.
"It's impossible!" Gao Yuan smiled slightly, "Once you hold gold in your hand, you will know its value, but as for jade, if you don't pick it out from the stubborn stone and cut the outer stone skin, it will It can only be wrapped in the humble stone skin forever, and cannot be a treasure.” (To be continued..)
