Chapter 574: So Obscene
Lu Songli learned a few days ago that the Cao Gang decided to suspend cooperation with Pingzhou because Wang Juntao was placed under house arrest by Xie Zhan, and expressed her understanding.
They have always had a cooperative relationship with the Cao Gang, and it is impossible for them to ask others to help them at all costs.
Xue Xu hurried back from outside after receiving the news, "Governor, why did you let Ning Changge and the others go back to the South?" This was a huge loss for Pingzhou.
They Pingzhou had worked so hard to cultivate talents, but Xie Zhan, this loser, was just taking advantage of the ready-made ones!
Lu Songli smiled and said, "Don't worry, everything is under control. It would be good to let them go back and reunite with their families."
A forced melon is not sweet. Even if the final result is not what you want, at least there is still a sense of incense. Lu Songli is very open-minded.
Hearing this, Xue Xu reluctantly accepted this fact.
Lu Songli pondered for a moment and asked, "Mr. Xue, do you think it is necessary for me to go to the East China Sea?"
Lu Songli knew very well that Prince Jin would definitely be no match for Xie Zhan.
This battle is related to the right to speak that Xie Zhan will eventually get in the court, and he cannot afford to lose it.
Lu Songli considered that whether it was to recruit the Cao Gang or to have the final negotiations with King Jin, it would be best for her to go in person.
If Wang Juntao can be rescued successfully, things will definitely go much more smoothly afterwards.
Of course, with greater returns comes greater risks.
So, she was considering whether to take a risk.
Xue Xu was shocked, "Governor, you must not have such thoughts!"
Xue Xu also knew Pingzhou's plan for Donghai.
In his opinion, Pingzhou was already developing very rapidly and expanding in a steady and orderly manner, so the governor didn't need to be so anxious.
"Governor, as the saying goes, a gentleman never stands on a dangerous wall. Going to the East Sea is much more dangerous than your previous move to Shanggu County in Youzhou! If you get into danger, there will be no way back!"
The governor is the backbone of Pingzhou. If he were Xie Zhan, once he found out that the other party had left Pingzhou and went to Donghai, he would definitely capture her alive or kill her at all costs.
Xue Xu kept turning in circles, searching for the words in his mind, trying to persuade Lu Songli, "I always remember what you said before, wealth and honor are sought in danger, and they are also lost in danger. One in ten times you seek them, nine in ten times you lose them. A real man should never rely on luck when doing things."
Lu Songli quickly said, "Mr. Xue, that's enough, I've given up the idea and won't go to the East China Sea."
Yes, they have now taken over bases such as Pingzhou and have a certain amount of capital. There is no need to bet everything on the land like before.
Lu Songli told herself to slow down, so as not to take too big a step and hurt herself.
With so many talented people, she needs to learn to trust them.
The most important thing is that many key personnel in Pingzhou have gone out to work, so it is very necessary for her to stay in Pingzhou.
Not to mention those who had been sent out before, just take the recent situation as an example. Qin Heng also led 5,000 troops to Liangzhou and Beijing.
He had two purposes for this trip. One was to fulfill the agreement between Pingzhou and the Xianbei royal court, that Pingzhou would return 120,000 captives from Buyeo, and the Xianbei would open the gates of the northern border and Liangzhou, allowing the Han people to leave freely.
He went to supervise and prevent the Xianbei from pretending to obey but actually disobeying.
The second is that Qin Heng went to the northern border this time with the intention of moving the remains of her father-in-law Qin Yue from the northern border to Pingzhou.
The Qin family should have gone to the northern border together to pay their respects and then proceed with the relocation of the grave. However, the current situation forced them to keep things simple and let Qin Heng, the eldest son of the Qin family, handle the matter.
Lu Songli listened to the advice. She was not alone now. Protecting herself was not only responsible for herself, but also for the subordinates who followed her, and even more so for the people under the entire power of Pingzhou.
"Now that spring is about to thaw, we have to hurry up with spring plowing and farming," said Lu Songli.
Xue Xu nodded repeatedly, "Yes, Governor, our Pingzhou is the most important and the foundation of everything." He was thinking just now that if it didn't work, he would have to ask Lord Lu for help!
Xue Xu was truly relieved. Call him cautious or timid. Whether it was the Cao Gang or the East Sea, there was no need for the governor to take such a huge risk. Man proposes, God disposes. If you get it, it's icing on the cake. If you don't get it in the end, then try again.
Xuzhou, Guangling County, Dongtai County
After deciding on the plan, Qin Zhao waved his hand and said, "Let's cook and attack the city tonight!"
Sun Congyi widened his eyes and said, "Attacking the city tonight?" A night battle?
Are they in Pingzhou so cruel? They actually attacked the city at night!
The question is, can you see clearly at night?
Hearing his doubts, the soldiers of Pingzhou all laughed.
They dared to attack the city at night, so they must have an advantage. They have good eyesight, so the problem that General Sun was worried about did not exist.
Sun Congyi: Huh? How come their eyesight is so good? He doesn't believe it!
The soldiers of Pingzhou laughed and told him to just wait and see.
Soon, Sun Congyi witnessed the night siege of Pingzhou.
Just after finishing his meal, he saw the soldiers bringing out some weapons and starting to fight.
When he leaned over to ask, he found out that these were siege weapons improved by the Seventh Institute of Technology in Pingzhou.
Sun Congyi discovered that the people who assembled these guys were the soldiers who used shovels to clear the way for him, his father and others to return to Yanmen that night.
It was only then that Sun Congyi was told that they had a special type of military force in Pingzhou - engineers.
Sun Congyi's eyes lit up when he heard this. He wondered how many secrets of Pingzhou were there that he didn't know?
As soon as the siege equipment was installed, the Pingzhou soldiers began to attack the city!
They didn't even blow the horn to attack. Brother Qin San waved the flag in his hand, the torches along the way lit up, and the vanguard team began to charge!
It's really disgusting!
Looking at the enemy, the general stationed in Gaoyou waited until the Pingzhou soldiers reached the city wall before discovering the enemy. He obviously did not expect that the Pingzhou expeditionary force would choose to attack them, and to attack the city at night!
The Gaoyou generals hurriedly responded to the battle.
Sun Congyi discovered that Pingzhou's siege equipment played a significant role. For example, the ladder, after being placed on the wall, unexpectedly held steady and could not be easily overturned by the soldiers above.
…
About half an hour later, the city gate of Gaoyou was opened from the inside by Pingzhou soldiers.
Seeing that Gaoyou could no longer be defended, the general of Gaoyou led his men to flee north.
"Quick, light a fire!" He had to destroy the food.
After Qin Zhao, Guo Chong and others climbed up to the top of the city wall of Gaoyou, they looked into the distance.
They soon spotted a fire to the north, "To the north!"
"Come on, two teams, quickly!" Yue Shu, holding a spear, took a step with his long legs and rushed to the north first.
The two teams immediately followed, they were going to rescue food and supplies!
Sun Congyi watched helplessly as the soldiers, each carrying their weapons, ran north.
"What are they holding in their hands?" Sun Congyi asked. He was really curious. Why were there so many new things in Pingzhou?
Qin Zhao casually replied, "It's something for putting out fires."
Sun Congyi was stunned. "Do you know the source of water north of Gaoyou?"
"Yeah." This information was provided by Xiaoliu. The bandits in Baihuzhai are all from the East China Sea and its vicinity, such as people from Xuzhou. They are not only familiar with the East China Sea area, but also very familiar with it.
Sun Congyi's subordinates were also very excited at this time. They were talking while working. In a word, the battle in Pingzhou was really exciting.
Xuzhou, Guangling County, Yancheng
Jiang Boya was woken up by his subordinates in the middle of the night.
"Mr. Jiang, Gaoyou County was attacked by the Pingzhou Expeditionary Force!"
"What?!" Jiang Boya's mind immediately became clear after hearing this.
When he hurriedly put on his clothes and came out, Xie Wei was already standing outside.
He asked, "Have you ordered the troops to support us?"
Xie Wei nodded.
"Let's go!"
The two men mounted their horses one after the other and set off.
Sitting on his horse, Jiang Boya sighed. He had thought that with the ambition of the man from Pingzhou, he would definitely choose to attack Yancheng first, so he suggested that Xie Wei deploy heavy troops in Yancheng.
He even gave up Guangling County. He speculated that Pingzhou wanted to sit on the mountain and watch the fight between the two tigers, let the court and the King of Jin fight to the death first, and then take advantage of it.
The Pingzhou army really doesn't play by the rules!
Hearing his words, Xie Wei curled his lips and said, "You yourself said that Guo Chong was in the Pingzhou expeditionary force. This person is smarter than you. How dare you compete with him in intelligence?"
Now, the Pingzhou expeditionary force has broken into the empty gate.
According to his idea, they might as well use a stupid method and deploy the same troops in the four counties.
At five o'clock in the morning, Xie Wei and Jiang Boya led their troops back to Gaoyou. From afar, they saw torches burning fiercely in Gaoyou City, and the flag of Pingzhou had been hoisted on the city wall.
It was obvious that the siege of Gaoyou was over.
Jiang Boya sighed. If the Pingzhou expeditionary force had not taken action, it would have been fine. But once it did, it captured Gaoyou at lightning speed.
