Chapter 602 So smooth
Xue Mansion
On this day, Xue Mansion held a dinner party.
The people who can come to the dinner are not unknown or incompetent people in Dali before. They get to know each other as soon as they talk to each other.
Now that these people have joined the Pingzhou camp, they naturally want to build Pingzhou well and make it bigger and stronger.
Xue Xu held this dinner to help them integrate into Pingzhou as soon as possible.
After everyone sat down, Xue Xu raised his glass, "The governor is ill and unable to come in person. Xue would like to toast you all on his behalf."
Xue Xu was conquered by Lu Songli, and he was also the first person to follow her. He braved life and death twice and went deep into enemy territory and made great achievements. His status among his subordinates is extraordinary.
Everyone drank the wine in their hands.
Guo Chong said from the side, "Speaking of which, the governor is completely thinking about the people of Pingzhou, otherwise he would not have fallen ill as soon as the war in the East China Sea ended."
"The governor's original plan was to use the land in the East China Sea to replace Jizhou and Zhuozhou with the imperial court. Unfortunately, the governor spent a lot of time and effort, and in the end..." Xue Xu looked worried.
Dong Jichuan watched the two old foxes singing and drinking, rolling his eyes. How could he let the two of them be more beautiful than before? So he decided to intervene, "The governor is righteous and willing to exchange the two counties of Donghai for the people who love Pingzhou. As the ancients said, the Lord humiliates his ministers to death. Now that the governor has suffered such a big loss, everyone present, whether they are new ministers or The old department is the right-hand man of the governor. If we do nothing, then why are we incompetent? "
Guo Chong and Xue Xu looked at each other, first surprised, and then smiled at each other, they are smart people.
Everyone else's emotions were aroused, and someone immediately expressed his position, "Mr. Dong's words are reasonable. As subjects, we should share the worries of the Lord. Mr. Xue, why don't we discuss how to capture Jizhou and Zhuozhou? ? Take it as our vote of approval!”
The speaker's name is Wu Qingyi, a native of Jincheng and a native of Shu County.
Xue Xu praised, "Everyone who is ambitious, no matter who wins one or two places, I will plead for him in front of the governor!"
At this time, Xue Xu did not hide Pingzhou's coveting of these two places.
Everyone bowed their heads in thought.
Jizhou or Zhuozhou is located next to Pingzhou.
Jizhou stretches from Shanggu County to the east, Dai County to the north, Zhongshan to the southwest, and Zhuozhou to the southeast.
Zhuozhou faces the sea in the southeast, Hejian in the south, Zhongshan in the west, and is close to Jizhou and Yuyang County in the northeast.
In other words, if they want to expand in Pingzhou and attack Dali instead of Xianbei in the north, they must first capture these two territories before they can move west or south.
In other words, whoever can win these two places will make great achievements.
Xue Xu looked around, "So, do you have any strategies to capture Jizhou or Zhuozhou for the governor?"
The old people in Pingzhou kept silent and unanimously gave the opportunity to the newcomers. This was also a test for them, although the test questions were a bit difficult.
The newcomers looked at each other, it was time to show their true skills.
At this time, Dong Jichuan was elected. He was known to repay his kindness, and his deeds were widely circulated. The newcomers who entered Pingzhou this time all appreciated him or admired him very much.
"Sir Xue, Kong Huai, the governor of Zhuozhou, is a stubborn and pedantic man. He is very particular about respecting teachers and respecting morality. I'm afraid it will be difficult to capture Zhuozhou in a short period of time."
Jizhou and Zhuozhou are actually two major counties in Jizhou, and the most powerful official is the county governor.
Xue Xu asked with a smile, "How about bypassing him to handle this matter?"
"I'm afraid that won't work either. During the previous Battle of the East China Sea, Xie Zhan increased the defense of Zhuozhou in order to completely cut off the supplies of the Pingzhou Expeditionary Force."
"On the other hand, Liu Guanlin, the governor of Jizhou County, is smart and quick-witted, but he has no foundation. Jizhou is right next door to Pingzhou. He must have been greatly influenced by Pingzhou. There is a high possibility of convincing him."
Cough cough cough——
There was a cough, and everyone looked towards the source of the sound.
The cougher is a young student named Wei Yang.
"Mr. Wei, is there something wrong with what Dong just said?" Dong Jichuan asked.
Wei Yang shook his head, "Well, Governor Liu is my uncle."
Xue Xu and Guo Chong were slightly surprised when they heard this.
Dong Jichuan raised his eyebrows. Is this because someone gave him a pillow when he fell asleep? Did it go so smoothly?
"I wonder if Mr. Wei would be willing to help us connect the dots?" Xue Xu asked quickly.
Wei Yang stood up, straightened his gown, and said, "I am willing to serve the governor."
"Master Xue, Military Advisor Guo, how about you let me go to Jizhou this time?" Dong Jichuan asked.
"good."
After Jizhou's strategy was decided, everyone turned their attention back to Zhuozhou.
At this time, Gu Huaisheng spoke up, "Master Xue, I have a plan that may help the governor win Zhuozhou, but it will take time and cannot be accomplished overnight."
"Please tell me quickly——"

pier
Mrs. Sun and others got off the boat one after another.
Sun Ming and his people had been waiting for him for a long time, and they received them as soon as possible.
"Is this Pingzhou?" Mrs. Sun looked at it curiously. This is a commonly used port in Pingzhou, but it is very bustling with people coming and going.
Sun Ming supported his mother, "Yes, mother, my son has bought a house in Changli. We will take a carriage there in a moment."
The new army of the Sun Army brought out grain and grass, and the governor asked them to select some that could be used, and the rest was collected at a very fair price.
In addition, Sun Jiajun had made meritorious service when he joined Pingzhou and received many rewards from his superiors, so they all had money on hand to buy real estate.
Old Lady Sun knows several important cities in Pingzhou. Currently, Changli is the seat of government of Pingzhou and the permanent residence of Governor Lu Songli.
Old Lady Sun and other old guys took this opportunity to come out, but the government was keeping a close eye on them, and they couldn't sell their properties at all.
It can only be said that they were lucky. They had sold all the assets that could be sold in the family under the name of raising food and grass.
It can be said that most of the property on the surface was taken away, and this result was already very good.
The remaining 20% of the property was gone. Old Lady Sun was very open-minded. Saving her life was more important than anything else.
Besides, as a family of military generals, no matter how stupid they were, they had to keep a hand behind them, right?
They all hid something more or less. After all, if their descendants were in trouble in the future, they might have to rely on the hidden things to survive, and they would have some capital to make a comeback.
The mother and son looked at each other, and both understood that the things they hid were all good.
