Chapter 271: Borderland, Capture Jiangxia


Lujiang County in Bozhou and Jiangxia in Jingzhou go down the river, but it can be reached in a day or two. \ Since Gao Qi and his party were mostly cavalry, they chose to go by land and run wildly.

At this time, Jia Xu suddenly found Gao Qi and said: "Now that the general has arrived here, doesn't he want to conquer a place for himself and expand his territory?"

Hearing this, Gao Qi didn't react for a while, and couldn't help asking: "What does Wen He mean by this?"

Immediately, Jia Xu said slowly: "Now the head of the Jiangnan Marching Road, Laihu'er, has died in the process of protecting the Son of Heaven."

"Now that the land of Jiangxia has become a borderless land, doesn't the general want to use it for his own use?"

"It must be known that Jiangxia is bordered by Xiangzhou and Xiangshui in the south, and Nanjun in the west, so its strategic location is extremely important."

"If the general doesn't take this opportunity to take it, I'm afraid the general won't have a chance to get Jiangxia in the future."

As Jia Xu's words slowly split and analyzed, Gao Qi gradually felt the importance of Jiang Xia.

That is, only with the land of Jiangxia can the western southern county be protected from the threat of Jiangdong forces.

Moreover, if the Jiangxia waterway is controlled, it can be completely connected with the Hunan River to form a piece.

It can be said that Xiangyang, Nanjun and Jiangxia are the core places of Jingzhou.

Only by completely occupying these three places can we be regarded as truly controlling Jingzhou.

Because, occupying Xiangyang, you can lead the army to the north and chase the Central Plains.

Retreat can also rely on the Xiangjiang River to defend Xiangyang and resist strong enemies, which is invincible.

To control Nanjun, you can annex the four counties of Jingnan and use them as a barrier.

In addition, Jiangling is located in the west of the Hanjiang Plain, bordering the Yangtze River in the south, the Xiangjiang River and Qingjiang River in the north, Bashu in the west, and Hunan and Guangdong in the south.

This is really an important place for soldiers As for Jiangxia, it belongs to the eastern part of Jingzhou and is adjacent to the land of Jiangdong.

Occupy Jiangxia, then you can go straight down the river and attack Jiangdong.

You can also go north against the current and send troops into several counties of Lujiang in Bozhou in an instant.

With Jia Xu's narration, Gao Qi finally slowly analyzed the form of Jingzhou's several counties.

Only by controlling Jiangxia in his own hands can Jingzhou sit back and relax from now on, not afraid of the attacks of the anti-thief forces.

In the end, after some careful consideration, Gao Qi formulated a strategy.

Gao Qi ordered Mu Guiying to lead a 10,000-strong foot soldier to take the lead in crossing the river by boat to Jiangxia.

And, for the sake of insurance, Xue Rengui was temporarily transferred to the army to control the overall situation.

Subsequently, Gao Qi personally led his cavalry to run wildly by land and march into Jiangxia.

In this way, troops were sent from both sides, in order to take Jiangxia in the fastest time.

It is only said that Jiangxia was originally the place where the chief of the Jiangnan Marching Road came to protect the garrison.

However, due to the elite of the nursery school, they were all lost in Yuhang.

Jiangxia has been lonely since then, and now the total number of troops in Jiangxia is less than 10,000 soldiers and horses.

With such a weak strength, it was almost the end of the first war Because Xue Rengui and Mu Guiying's troops took a boat to the south, they arrived in Jiangxia in just a few days.

At this time, Xue Rengui listened to Gao Qi's plan and did not rush to attack, but stationed troops in one of the county towns, waiting for Gao Qi's arrival.

After waiting for a day or two, Gao Qicai led the cavalry to gallop in the dust I saw that for a while, Gao Qi did not immediately send troops to attack all parts of Jiangxia.

Instead, he wrote a letter and sent it to all the cities in the territory And the content above this is that before the chief manager Laihu'er died in battle, he entrusted the safety of Jiangxia to himself.

Now that he has come, Qi is just fulfilling the promise of the general to recover Jiangxia I have to say that this plan is very effective, only to say that the text is everywhere, and the county officials have opened the city gates one after another, and the road is sandwiched to welcome the arrival of the king.

However, this plan also came from Jia Xu's chest.

On the same day, Jia Xu offered him a plan to attack Jiangxia, Gao Qi wanted to immediately lead the army to gallop and quickly take it by force But Jia Xu slowly proposed that the attack on Jiangxia could be carried out without the use of force, and all parts of Jiangxia could be occupied without bloodshed.

Because, Gao Qi has a political advantage, as the son-in-law of Yang Guang, the former son of heaven.

In addition, his Laihu'er has been killed, as long as Gao Qi writes an essay and explains the reason.

Although Yang Guang, the co-owner of the Sui Dynasty, has died today, nominally this is still the world of the Sui Dynasty and still belongs to its rule.

Therefore, with the addition of Laihu's will, Gao Qi's identity as a fast son-in-law of the dragon is added.

It is still very possible to occupy Jiangxia County without bloodshed and completely take it into the bag.

In fact, it is true, only that a day or two after the text was issued, the defenders from all over the country sent envoys to take the initiative to find Gao Qi. explained the message that he was willing to surrender the city, and then Gao Qi also readily agreed, and the generals or officials who took the initiative to surrender continued to reinstate their posts and guard important places.

This is Gao Qi's strategy to attack the heart and win people's hearts After all, being good at employing people is not just about using only those who are capable.

In fact, it is not the case, and it can also be used for those who know the times.

Doing so can also set an example and make more and more generals from all over the world aware of it.

As long as you live up to your stubborn resistance and take the initiative to submit, you can still be reused.

This is a clever way to control people However, there is a positive and a negative in everything, since there is a person who knows the times, take the initiative to submit.

There are also those who resist stubbornly, swearing not to surrender, but closing the gates of the city and guarding the doors For such a person, Gao Qi didn't say a word, and directly assigned all the generals to lead an army to defeat him However, in a short period of time, I saw that the recalcitrant rebels in Jiangxia fell to the ground one after another, setting off a bloody scene.

This is the wonderful use of grace and power, and it should continue to be reused for those who know the times.

On the contrary, those who resist will be punished at the same time With the experience of the rebels, the rest of the forces that were watching understood the current affairs and surrendered in Kaesong.

Deeply afraid that Gao Qi would be unhappy if he was not careful, he sent troops to annihilate him.

With Gao Qi adopting Jia Xu's strategy, he swept through the entire county of Jiangxia within a few days.

Almost without bloodshed, he succeeded in capturing Jiangxia County, except for the northern part of Xiangzhou.

The southern part of Jingzhou and Xiangzhou are all under Gao Qi's absolute control.

It can be seen that sometimes conquering a city is not a matter of using war to solve the problem.

It is also necessary to adjust the strategy appropriately and use strategy to solve the problem For example, this time, if Gao Qi did not adopt Jia Xu's strategy, but took it upon himself to attack with a large army.

Although it will be possible to capture the entire territory of Jiangxia in the end, it will definitely not be so easy.

In addition to the loss of sergeants, it is more unnecessary and time-consuming.

Jia Xu's plan can be said to be a reasonable application to politics.

Use political fame to decide the outcome of a war.

This can't help but think of Gao Qi, war is the continuation of politics, and the great chaos at the end of the Sui Dynasty called for it :
