Sun Guangxian solemnly thanked him and resigned. He looked at his back and straightened his body. In Liu Chengyou's eyes, he always felt that his spine was a little bent. However, Liu Chengyou would not despise him because of this. It was precisely because of such a person who understood current affairs that he was unified. Only then will the world's progress be smoother.
Being loyal and unyielding is certainly a good quality, but it is best for the great man and the emperor, otherwise he will be a die-hard and become an obstacle to his unification of the world.
Liu Chengyou looked attentively, and probably thought he had concerns. Zhao Pu took the initiative and said: "Sun Guangxian has served Gao Congjie and his son for many years. He is the most important civil servant in Jingnan. He is well-versed in everything. If he is so respectful to the court now, the three states in Jingnan will be safe." , we will return to normalcy, Your Majesty, there is no need to worry!"
"Jingnan, you don't have to worry about it. No matter what, with the army stationed and Murong Yanzhao, Guo Wei and others here, the rest can't cause any trouble!" Liu Chengyou responded with confidence.
After thinking for a moment, he moved his buttocks and turned his head to look at Zhao Pu. Liu Chengyou asked, "Do you think the Gao family is worthy of my fear?"
In response to this question, Zhao Pu shook his head in the affirmative and said with a slight smile: "The Gao family has been based in Jingnan for decades, but it has neither a praiseworthy reputation nor any kindness to the people. The scholars and people in Jingnan will definitely not remember it. On the other hand, the Gao family is rich in small areas, but the good and the bad are mixed. After moving north, they lost their foundation and privileges, so they will inevitably complain!"
"As for the lineage of Nanping King Gao Baorong, your majesty can do a good job and treat him well. This mediocre and cowardly person is really harmless to the court. After Jinghu, there are Houshu, Southern Tang, Wuyue in the south. , The puppet Liu Dynasty includes all the forces of the Qingyuan Army in southern Fujian, and with Gao's example in front, your Majesty will be able to reduce their resistance when he uses troops in the future!"
"That's right!" The corners of Liu Chengyou's mouth turned up slightly: "However, many of the powerful monarchs in the southern countries are in trouble. Although they can be treated favorably, in comparison, their subordinates, both civil and military, are more worthy of bribery!"
"Your Majesty is wise!" Zhao Pu said: "This Sun Guangxian is the horse bone that your Majesty placed in front of the southern ministers!"
"Now that the Gao family has surrendered, Zhou Xingfeng is the only one left in this southern expedition. However, Jingnan was successfully captured, and Hunan is a tough nut to crack!" Liu Chengyou stood up and walked to a map of the military situation of the southern expedition hanging in the hall. The tone was a bit serious.
Following behind, Zhao Pu said: "The imperial court now has sharp teeth and hard bones, and it is no match for the army to gnaw at it. Zhou Xingfeng did not know the fate of the day and resisted brazenly, but it was just a desperate struggle! And all his actions were in Your Majesty and the princes have predicted that their defeat will be inevitable!"
"Originally, Commander Murong wanted to take one month to capture Jingnan first. But now, in less than half a month, he has captured all the territory and captured his army. The progress has been so smooth. In this way, it also saves the time for the army to attack Hunan!"
"However, Zhou Xingfeng is now desperate. This crazy person should not be underestimated! If Gao treats Zhou as a contemptuous and negligent person, he may take advantage of him!" Liu Chengyou couldn't help but have doubts.
Liu Chengyou has always been this way, he is too cautious, he uses all his strength even when the lion fights the rabbit, he is not afraid of being overly cautious, only afraid of the unexpected.
"In this way, you use my tone to draft an edict and send it to the camp in the south. Instruct all the soldiers in the war in Hunan not to be arrogant and impetuous, and to underestimate the enemy and advance rashly!" Liu Chengyou raised his finger and ordered.
"Give Murong Yanzhao another edict and tell him that I have full authority to entrust him with the overall situation of Jinghu. I don't want to swoop down at once, but just take it calmly!"

"yes!"
Thousands of miles away, in terms of tactics, Liu Chengyou had no intention of remote control. He could only exert influence on these equally important "minutiae". At the same time, it also alerted the generals in front. Although he, the emperor, was at the rear, he could always keep an eye on it. The progress of the war.
"Is there any latest news about the battle situation in Liyang?" Liu Chengyou asked.
Zhao Pu shook his head and said: "Not yet. However, according to the military report forwarded by the Privy Council, Commander-in-Chief Murong has sent a partial force to cross the river to occupy the public security, and can support Liyang at any time. Since both His Majesty and Prime Minister Guo prefer Pan Jun, he can't be the military envoy. I betray His Majesty’s trust!”
"There are not many soldiers and horses in Liyang after all!" Liu Chengyou frowned slightly: "I hope Pan Mei can hold it!"
Liyang was insignificant to the court, but it posed a huge threat to Langzhou. Liu Chengyou didn't care about the mere Liyang city. He was worried about Pan Mei's safety. Losing Liyang was not a big deal, but losing Pan Mei was particularly important to him. His beloved general is not beautiful. However, if Pan Mei does not have some merits that are worthy of being used and convinced by everyone, Liu Chengyou will not be able to make full use of him. Therefore, Liu Chengyou's mentality is still somewhat contradictory.
"That's it! I don't need to worry about this anymore!" He raised his hand and pinched the roots of the mountain. Liu Chengyou breathed a sigh of relief and said to Zhao Pu: "You can go and see the first batch of officials selected by the Ministry of Personnel to be transferred to Jingnan for me. Look, let’s take a look at his talents!”
Hearing this, Zhao Pu's face showed a strange look for the first time. This was letting Chongzhengdian directly intervene in the affairs of Zhengshitang. Does this mean anything?
Zhao Pu's mind was always spinning very fast, and he subconsciously reminded: "The selection and transfer of officials is a matter of the Ministry of Personnel. This may only cause dissatisfaction with Xianggong Li!"
As the chief minister, Li Tao was in charge of all affairs, but just like Fan Zhi was in charge of punishment, his "root" was in the official department.
Hearing what he said, it was Liu Chengyou's turn to dispel Zhao Pu's concerns. He smiled calmly and said, "It doesn't matter. In the early days of Jingnan, these officials will affect the future governance of the three states and the well-being of nearly one million people." , you just asked me on my behalf to show that you take it seriously!"
"Yes!" Since the emperor said so, Zhao Pu naturally agreed.
The thoughts in my mind continued to diverge. This errand was not difficult, but it represented the emperor and the political power of Chongzheng Palace, and what did it mean...
"Then Zhang Ji has been with you for a while. What do you think of him?" Liu Chengyou asked Zhao Pu abruptly.
It seems that he knew that the emperor liked Tan Hua Lang. No matter what he thought in his heart, Zhao Pu said good things: "He is quite talented in literature, far better than his ministers. He is smart and witty. If you train him well, he will be of great use!"
"There are no shortcomings?" Liu Chengyou seemed not interested in Zhang Ji's strengths.
After thinking about it for a while, Zhao Pu said: "You are not that old after all, so it is inevitable that you are a bit youthful and energetic."
"Okay, go and do your business!"
"yes!"
In front of Liu Chengyou, Zhao Pu also acted very cautiously, but his caution was to cater to the emperor while showing off his talents in order to climb up and realize his political ambitions. The longer the contact with Liu Chengyou, the deeper Liu Chengyou felt about this, but Zhao Pu As far as this person is concerned at this stage, Liu Chengyou is really easy to use.

In Jiangling City, the city walls have been transformed into the King's Banner, and the city walls, government offices, military camps, and warehouses have all been decorated with brand-new Han flags, and this city has also become the headquarters of Murong Yanzhao's new Chinese army. Every key place in the city has been decorated. A group of small soldiers who entered the city were firmly occupied, including officials belonging to the camp, and the record office began to inventory Jiangling's treasury. These can be directly used for military purposes.
The original Jiangling garrison was moved outside the city without any room for negotiation, and hundreds of officers were directly transferred from the Han army to strengthen control.
However, for the people of Jiangling City, it was a great relief. Tens of thousands of troops from the Northern Han Dynasty came south, and their momentum was overwhelming. The officials and the people were frightened. Fortunately, it did not cause a war disaster. Gao Baorong decisively surrendered from his heart, and the Han Dynasty successfully took over. city.
In addition, the Han army had strict military discipline and suffered no military disasters. In just a few days, the city was lifted from the blockade and the people were allowed to enter and exit. With this move, people felt at ease.
The original Nanping Palace did not suffer any intrusion. Gao Baorong and his family still lived in it and retained their guards. They only stationed soldiers and horses on the outside for protection and waited for the court's decision.
Murong Yanzhao occupied the Jiangling Prefecture Government Office as the camp site. Now, Murong Yanzhao once again convened the camp generals to discuss the army. The situation in Jingnan is gradually calming down, and the war situation in Hunan is getting more urgent. It is time to start the next step of marching. .
