First Minister of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 279 Lingnan Liang Army
...

Hearing Gao Chong's question, several merchants looked at each other, "Say", Wei Ling scolded with staring eyes.

"Yes, I have heard of it," several people nodded and said.

Gao Chong nodded slowly, looking at the drunk Lin Zhisong, thoughtful.

Since all the merchants knew that the Tang army was about to attack, it was impossible for Lin Zhisong, as the guard, not to know. Thinking of this, Gao Chong's heart skipped a beat.

"Which one of you has Lin Zhisong's trust the most?" Gao Chong stared at the merchants and asked.

Wei Ling stared at the side, and they didn't dare to hesitate. They immediately looked at the person in front. That person was Liu San, a wood merchant. Said: "General, my servant Liu San has some contacts with Lin Zhisong, but he is not very familiar with him."

Gao Chong smiled when he heard the words, knelt down, patted Lin Zhisong's face, and asked, "General Jin, do you know Liu San well?"

Lin Zhisong panted heavily, hiccupped with wine, seemed a little disgusted after being slapped on the face and panicked on the ground, turned over, waved his hands and smiled and said: "Okay, then the killer will send me money every month... …hey-hey".

Hearing this, cold sweat broke out on Liu San's face, and he quickly lowered his head and said: "Forgive me, General, there is indeed some contact."

Before Gao Chong could speak, Lin Zhisong just laughed and said, "No crime, no crime, Liu San, don't you want, want those warships in the south of the city, and give it to you for one or one thousand guan."

Gao Chong fixed his eyes upon hearing this, and looked at Liu San, "Why do you want a warship?"

Liu San was already terrified, and hurriedly said: "I'm in the timber business, and I need a lot of ships to transport timber."

"The warship is an old ship that is idle?"

Liu San shook his head, "They are all new ships just replaced this year", and then seemed to see Gao Chong's doubts, Liu San continued to explain: "The navy is also scattered all over the place, I heard that they only gather for drills once a month, so this The boat is only used once a month, so I just want to borrow it."

What Gao Chong heard was also amazed, Xiao Liang's death was really unjust, he originally occupied Jingchu, the Yangtze River and Han River flowed through, and there were many lakes, Xiao Xian had the largest navy in the world today.

However, in order to disperse the military power, Xiao Mian sent the navy to various places, so that the warships were idle, and they were rented out by scum like Lin Zhisong to merchants, which shows the corruption of Liang Jun.

"You ask Lin Zhisong in your own tone, what is Liang Guo's strategy for dealing with Tang Jun?" Gao Chong said in a low voice.

Liu San was stunned, and saw that Wei Ling, who was eyeing him like a tiger, was already holding a knife at his waist, so he had to step forward and support Lin Zhisong, "General Lin, the army said that the Tang army is coming. I don't know if we saints have any countermeasures? I I plan to go to Padang this month, so don’t lose money.”

Lin Zhisong babbled and babbled, turned over in Liu San's arms and continued to sleep, Gao Chong's face darkened, he stepped forward and slapped Lin Zhisong on the face.

"General Lin?" Liu San was startled, shaking quickly.

Lin Zhisong was a little dazed by the slap, opened his eyes slightly, and saw Liu San in front of him, "Liu San? I didn't drink too much, help me up."

Liu San was sweating like rain, and asked anxiously: "General Lin will drink later, tell me first, how can the Tang army deal with it?"

"Tang Jun? I know you're going to Badong, don't worry." Lin Zhisong waved his hand, "The emperor has asked Wen Shihong to bring people here, and the soldiers and horses in Lingnan have also left. Tang Jun dare not come, so you go boldly." , Hehe, as long as I don’t have my share, it’s fine.” After saying that, he tilted his head and went to sleep, Liu Sanyi didn’t know what to do for a while.

"Take it down," Gao Chong waved his hand immediately when he heard what he wanted to know.

After the soldiers escorted them down, Wei Ling looked serious, "Gao Changshi, is this credible?"

"Tell the truth after drinking", Gao Chong returned to the desk and sat down, "He is so drunk, he doesn't have the brains to lie."

Wei Ling nodded, then frowned and asked, "Then what he means, the Liang army has already begun to assemble, is it still possible to attack Jiangling?"

Gao Chong didn't answer, but spread out the map, looked carefully, and then said: "As long as our army is fast enough to defeat this scholar Hong, we can go straight to Jiangling. At that time, even if the Liang army from Lingnan comes, it will be useless." .

"Lingnan?" Gao Chong paused suddenly, and then laughed loudly, "The Liang army in Lingnan doesn't need to think about it."

Lingnan, if Gao Chong's memory serves me right, his elder brother, the uncle of Changsun Wuji, Gao Shilian is now in Lingnan, and Lingnan is Jiaozhou. Now Xiaoliang's governor of Jiaozhou is Qiu He, and Gao Shilian It is the governor's history.

It's ridiculous to say that Xiao Liang's troops in Lingnan are basically in Jiaozhou, while the eldest son Qiu Xing, the governor of Jiaozhou, served as the general of the Zuojianmen in the Tang Dynasty. Qiu Yingqi (the son of Qiu Xingze) served as Youkuzhen in the Qin Palace.

As for Jiaozhou Governor Shi Gaoshilian, let alone, his niece is Princess Qin, his uncle is Zhongshuling, and his younger brother is Kuizhou Governor.

Both Qiu He and Gao Shilian are inextricably linked with Datang, Xiao Mian is not ignorant of the comparison, he just has no way, Gao Shilian is the talent of the prime minister, not to mention, just Qiu and this person It's not something Xiao Mian can subdue.

Qiu He came from a famous family, and his father was Qiu Shou, the general of Zhendong in the Western Wei Dynasty. Qiu He practiced martial arts since he was a child, and he was proficient in bow and horse. Very good reputation.

During the reign of Emperor Kaihuang, he served as General Youwuwei, and he was granted the title of Duke of Pingcheng County. Later, he released Zizhou, Puzhou and other places. good.

The most amazing thing is that Qiu and a martial artist are also good at flattering and flattering, not the kind of straightforward reckless men who do what they like to Yang Guang and present rare treasures, which are deeply loved by Yang Guang.

It can be seen from this that Qiu He's brain is very flexible, able to bend and stretch, capable of writing and martial arts, and especially capable of giving birth and living.

According to the original trajectory, Qiu He was born in the third year of Tianbao in Northern Qi Dynasty, 11 or 86 years older than Li Yuan, and died in the [-]th year of Zhenguan at the age of [-]. He had fifteen sons, five of whom were knighted, and the son was named Qiu Xinggong. The most famous, the official worship is the Great General Youwuhou, and the grandchildren are the most famous for Qiu Shenji, and the official worship is the General Zuo Jinwuwei.

Gao Chong was not worried about Qiu Gao and his two leading the Liang army in Lingnan. According to the resourcefulness of these two people, even if they let nature take its course, they would lead the army to vote. Pick up a pen and write a long letter.

Although Gao Chong and Gao Shilian have never met, they are of the same clan after all. Needless to say, this relationship is needless to say. As for Qiu He, Gao Chong just mentioned Qiu Xinggong. Brother, but also a fellow who stirs a spoon in a pot.
