Governor please stay

Yu Jin sighed, feeling very tired.

There is nothing to say about the next one. The scene that was performed once was performed again. Xing Gao's army was defeated. After a "hard battle", Liu Yishou's soldiers successfully wiped out most of the invading enemies, and the rest fled eastward without knowing what to do. trace.

It was noon after returning to Licheng a day later. In the study in the backyard of the government office, Liu Yishou handed the three letters to Yu Jin to read. The latter read it for a long time without saying a word. I wondered if he had fallen asleep.

"I have already sent people to Liaocheng, and it is estimated that Chen Yuankang will come to Licheng in two days to discuss the joint operations between the two armies. However, even if we can sincerely cooperate, Xing Gao is not easy to deal with. Especially when he was in Yinyang last time He was slapped by me, and it is estimated that it will be difficult to catch him this time.

If they fought head-to-head, it would take hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers to destroy Xing Gao. "

The "war" just now was just sent by Xing Gao, so it couldn't be regarded as a serious contest at all.If he really thought that the opponent's elite was as strong as it is today, how could the opponent beat the imperial imperial army led by Li Shuren in the first place.

"You said, the prefect Lin was far-sighted when he played Jinan County. He just underestimated Xing Gao's strength. I was wondering, under what circumstances would Xing Gao get carried away?"

Just like the vanguard who "defeated" Xing Gao this time, Liu Yishou didn't think that the other party was useless, on the contrary, Xing Gao was extremely cunning.Conversely, Xing Gao will not lose vigilance easily.

"You said, if Xing Gao occupies Licheng, or even Jinan County, does he think he has won a complete victory?"

Liu Yishou raised a bold question.

Jinan County is one of the core parts of Qingxu Land. Occupying Jinan County will gain the exit of the Shandong Peninsula for conquest to the west.To the north is the Jishui River and the Yellow River, and to the south is the Taishan Mountains. In fact, this exit is much smaller than it looks on the map.

Occupying Jinan County, Xing Gao is like a dragon entering the sea. There are many roads for him to walk, and the roads get wider and wider!

"If Xing Gao gets Jinan County, what shall we do?"

Yu Jin was frightened by Liu Yishou's wild ways.

Xing Gao's army occupied Jinan County, so Liu Yishou and the others had to face Xing Gao's hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses directly, who could bear it.

"Just talking, you see, I didn't even bring my family to Licheng, just because I was worried that I wouldn't stay here for long."

Liu Yishou sighed. In fact, it is not difficult to give up Jinan County. The most difficult thing is to let Xing Gao relax his vigilance. How to make the other party believe that leaving Jinan County is not to lure the enemy. This is the most troublesome part.

Judging from Xing Gao's usual routine, this person is definitely not a reckless man. Although it is not ruled out that he has idiots under his command, as long as the person at the top is not stupid, the situation will not collapse.

"Look at how difficult it was for us to start, but the people we met were all difficult to deal with, alas!"

Xing Gao's hundreds of thousands of soldiers are really going to make Liu Yishou autistic. Even if there is an exaggeration, there are hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers.These people are not something you can dismiss with a wave of your sleeves, and they are not cultivating immortals!

"My lord, there is an urgent message from Luoyang!"

Yuan Shikang gently opened the door, handed the bamboo tube sealed with wax to Liu Yishou, and then quietly exited the room.Liu Yishou opened the bamboo tube and took out the letter, read it at a glance, sighed again, and handed it to Yu Jin who was beside him.

"How could the Liang army in the Northern Expedition be so vigorous?"

Yu Jin asked in disbelief.

The letter stated that Yuan Huiye, king of Jiyin, had brought [-] elite soldiers into Kaocheng (now northeast of Minquan, Henan). As for where the soldiers and horses came from, the letter did not say.Yuan Huiye thought that he would have no pressure to stop the Northern Expeditionary Army, not to mention defeat, at least the problem of defending the city was not a big problem.

Kaocheng is surrounded by water, and now spring is warm and flowers are blooming, and the ice and snow are melting. Facing the natural moat, Yuan Huiye thinks that Liang Jun has no good way to attack the city.

It is not a special thing for a powerful prince in the Northern Wei Dynasty to have [-] to [-] troops outside Luoyang City.

However, something magical happened again. Chen Qingzhi built a floating barrier on the moat, directly connected to the city, and then his white artillery army directly rushed in!

game over!

Yuan Huiye definitely didn't know that Chen Qingzhi's white-robed army were all fishermen from the water village, and they were best at operating on such floating barriers.It is estimated that in Chen Qingzhi's opinion, Yuan Huiye's level is not as good as Qiu Daqian who likes to build castles.

Now the Liang army is in full swing, and the Wei army surrendered without a fight along the way.Now Liang Jun's soldiers are pointing directly at Xingyang, and Fei Mu has gathered a large army in Xingyang, planning to fight Chen Qingzhi here!

Yuan Ziyou, who has a small mind and a small heart, was frightened by the ferocious white-robed army. He was also afraid that Fei Mu would sell him, and even more afraid that Er Zhurong would die, so he continued to urge Liu Yishou Hurry up and bring your troops back to rescue him!

"Uh, I remember if you said before that Liang Jun's Northern Expedition is going to attack Luoyang? You are really..."

Yu Jin almost said the word "crow's mouth".

"Chen Qingzhi is going to Xingyang...I thought of a way to break Xing Gao."

Liu Yishou tapped the palm of his left hand with his right hand and said, "Xing Gao must have thought that Qingxu was the only imperial imperial guard. Li Yuanzhong and the others were not very conspicuous.

So, when Chen Yuankang comes, I have to discuss it with him. This time, let them have fun. "

Chapter 177

The last time Liu Yishou saw Chen Yuankang was still in Fangtou City. This eldest brother always looked like he lacked sleep, with deep bags under his eyes and sloppy footsteps. He didn't know which woman's bed he just got off.

And this time when Chen Yuankang appeared in front of Liu Yishou, although the other party was still unkempt, and even had a rough beard that had not been trimmed, he looked energetic and seemed to be much stronger than before.

"Brother, your body looks a little weak, do you have too many concubines at home?"

As soon as they met, Chen Yuankang teased Liu Yishou.

"That's not so."

Liu Yishou waved his hand without much explanation.After the two sat opposite each other in front of the table, Chen Yuankang smiled and said: "I have heard about your deeds all the way. My brother is now prosperous, much better than me. I won't be able to get along anymore, so I will Going to your place to be a petty official, it’s easy to write and draw.”

Chen Yuankang is such a smart person that he can't speak very clearly in many words. You can think that his sentence is just a joke, or it is possible that the other party is expressing some kind of refuge.

Anyway, whatever you say will do.

Chen Yuankang played with the white jade paperweight on the table as if nothing had happened, and asked casually, "Don't you want to ask why Li Yuanzhong and Feng Longzhi's army appeared in Liaocheng on the other side of Fufen City?"

What he meant was: Yuan Ziyou, a trash, can't command Feng Longzhi and Li Yuanzhong at all!

"Appreciate further details."

Liu Yishou said in a deep voice.

Chen Yuankang took a piece of paper from the table, took a charcoal pencil, drew a line on the paper and said, "This is the Yellow River."

He drew another crooked line below this line, almost parallel to the one above.

"This is Jishui."

Chen Yuankang finally drew a line on the other side of the line representing the Yellow River, and continued: "This is Luoshui. Li Yuanzhong and Feng Longzhi's troops are now at the starting point of Luoshui, which is Liaocheng."

Liu Yishou had a little understanding of what the other party wanted to do, he asked suspiciously: "You want to fight from the outside to Xing Gao's rear, instead of gradually competing with Xing Gao in Jinan County?"

This idea is a bit similar to Xing Gao's surprise attack on Jinan County, but the direction is reversed.

At the beginning, Xing Gao took the outer line of the Jihe River and the Yellow River to avoid the investigation range of Jinan County and detoured to sneak attack.And Luoshui is further north of the Yellow River, and this is not the scope of Xing Gao's investigation.

"Liaocheng began to go east along Luoshui all the way to Chaoyang City (now northwest of Gaotang County, Shandong Province), where the army was assembled. There is a river nearby, named Xiaoqing River, which can go directly to Guangzhou, the home of Xing Gao's army!"

Chen Yuankang also knows about this kind of thing?

Liu Yishou was shocked.

You must know that there is no electronic map now, and it is difficult to find even a decent map. Many of the geographical information provided by Li Daoyuan's "Shui Jing Zhu" have beaten the maps in the state and county yamen.

If it hadn't been for on-the-spot investigation, it would never have known such an advance route.

"Xing Gao was able to rise thanks to the refugees from Hebei. However, although the Hejian Xing family is a big family, it cannot do without the support of the entire Hebei family.

The Hebei family originally supported Xing Gao, but it was just walking on two legs and having one more choice.Now that they have all turned to support the Gao Brothers, the support Xing Gao can get is only fragmented and unreasonable. Does my virtuous brother understand this truth? "

Chen Yuankang pointed to the three lines on the paper, and said with a smile: "Now you have created a situation in Qingxu, and with Cui Xian and Cui Xiaofen as guarantees, many people in the Hebei family are optimistic that you can succeed. You can crack the earth and seal the king.

So Li Yuanzhong and Feng Longzhi came to Qingxu to clean up the situation for the Hebei family.Xing Gao has already offended the big family of Qingxu, and without the continuous support of the Hebei family, his defeat will only happen sooner or later.

If Xing Gao loses, the one who will benefit the most is probably not Yuan Ziyou. As for who, I don't care, you must understand. "

After hearing these words, Liu Yishou nodded slightly, as if he had a little understanding of the situation now.

Chen Yuankang roughly drew the positions of the Xiaoqing River and the major cities on the paper, and now Liu Yishou could see it clearly. This line was probably a supply line from Hebei to Shandong. Xing Gao relied on this line at the beginning to keep the supply flowing. Most of them got support from Hebei.

The rise and prosperity of Xing Gao was not an isolated event, nor was it caused by Xing Gao alone. There are too many stories behind it.

It's like saying that when the Sui and Tang Dynasties were in transition, Wagangzhai rose from the ground, and Li Mi, a son of the Guanlong family, soon gained incomparable strength in Wagangzhai. Those soldiers and horses seemed to be able to fight without training, and those generals seemed to be You are very good at leading troops without going through the battle formation, why?

When Li Mi collapsed later, it seemed that his power completely melted away overnight, and there was no movement of struggle at all. Why?

Wang Shichong, who occupied Luoyang, rose up hastily and died hastily. Why?

Again, behind the story, there is still a deeper story.And the people who write and tell stories are from aristocratic families.

Xing Gao was able to succeed quickly because he followed the general trend, and the Hebei family was building momentum for him!Now that Ge Rong is gone, the choice of the Hebei family is different, and Xing Gao's situation is also different.

The person is still the same person, but the times are different. The times make heroes, and they can destroy heroes at will after the times change.

Why did Chen Yuankang know the road leading to Gwangju?Because someone from the Hebei family told him, not only he knew, but Li Yuanzhong, Feng Longzhi and others probably also knew.

This is Xing Gao's supply line for personnel and materials all the time!Xing Gao probably never thought that the people in Hebei would become enemies one day.

Compared with Wang Wei, who has been depressed for a long time, Chen Yuankang became famous at a young age, and was named a county man very early because of his outstanding military exploits. At that time, he was just an aide.

Such a person has great ability and great foresight. He will only follow "top players". Chen Yuankang doesn't like "second-rate players" like Xing Gao, let alone Yuan Ziyou. The coffin boards are almost covered with bad luck.

"You guys, this is arranged."

Liu Yishou smiled wryly.

"My dear brother, this is not an arrangement, this is called cleaning up the family. This time Xing Gao was destroyed, the Xing family participated. Although they are not of the same clan, they are also the Xing family."

Chen Yuankang said in a low voice.

This news is really frustrating!

The Xing family is indeed ruthless enough, cousin Xing Yan was a high official in the court before, and cousin Xing Gao can also rebel in Shandong.Now that the limelight is wrong, the Xing family can still kill their relatives righteously and take the initiative to participate in the military operation to exterminate Xing Gao!

The Hebei family is indeed ruthless to the enemy, and even more ruthless to their own people.You don't even say hello to you in advance when you kill relatives, just use bricks and paste your face to block the way, this method is cruel enough!

"So, what am I going to do?"

Liu Yishou asked with a desolate and lonely face.

Originally, when Chen Yuankang came, he wanted to discuss the countermeasures with the other party, but he didn't expect that the other party had made all the arrangements, and there was no flaw at all.

"Don't do anything, you take the initiative to withdraw from Jinan County, Xing Gao will definitely occupy Jinan County. And then..."

Chen Yuankang muttered for a long time, and finally looked at Liu Yishou and asked, "What do you think?"

Before, Liu Yishou thought he was very powerful. After listening to Chen Yuankang's arrangement, he realized what it means to be superior to others, and one must not be arrogant and conceited.

"Brother's strategy is very good, just act according to plan, I really have nothing to add."

Liu Yishou smiled wryly again, experts would know if there was one as soon as he made a move.Compared with Chen Yuankang's idea, Xing Gao played like a child's play at Lepan Mountain.

He felt a little at ease. Li Yuanzhong's group of people used various connections to dismantle Xing Gao's platform, and they have already attacked each other politically and economically, including banning smuggling from Hebei to Qingzhou.

This incident once again matched the information that Xing Gao colluded with the Jinan County family, and everything was logically smooth!Liu Yishou felt as if he had pinched Xing Gao's fate.

"But now there is another problem. Xing Gao is not a fool, and he has a lot of eyes and ears in Jinan County. If I leave Jinan County without any legitimate reason, wouldn't it be written on my face to lure the enemy into deep?"

When I first came to Jinan County, I gave the aristocratic family here a blow.However, Liu Yishou did not deal with these people hastily. He didn't even kill those family members who had an affair with Xing Gao, but only confiscated the family property.

Compared with the trembling of the Dongping County family, I am afraid that there are many people in Jinan County who do not accept him.Whether I was really retreating in Jinan County or "luting the enemy", I don't need Xing Gao to investigate. The family members of Jinan County will personally send someone to tell the other party.Liu Yishou was very sure of this.

"This little thing, my brother must be fine, I trust you."

Chen Yuankang laughed loudly, and then lowered his voice and asked, "Uh, are there many beautiful widows in Licheng? Brother, I'm going to fade out all the way."

"I haven't paid much attention to it, after all, I'm too busy to take care of it."

Liu Yishou sighed and said, he understood why Chen Yuankang looked much more energetic now, probably because the other party has been marching and has no time to play with women!

"Oh, that's all, I'll just ask.

I said you should promulgate a decree that widows are not allowed to observe festivals, and they must marry people by force.You see, they are also idle when they are idle, if they are idle all the time, something will happen to them, understand? "

Chen Yuankang's serious nonsense only made Liu Yishou dumbfounded.The two chatted for a while, and then Chen Yuankang took out a letter from his cuff and handed it to Liu Yishou.

"The general trend of the world is changing. No one knows whether a person who is arrogant today will become like a bear in the future. As some people who cannot decide their own destiny, they are actually facing various challenges all the time. options.

After all, you don't know what will happen ten years later, whether your original choice is right or not.So even if you don't like a lot of things, it's just human nature, understand? "

Chen Yuankang seems to be hinting at something.

Liu Yishou nodded slightly, cupped his hands and said, "I've been taught."

"I don't dare to be taught. By the way, what do you think of Liang Guo's Northern Expedition?"

Compared with the hippie smiling face before, Chen Yuankang's expression is serious now.

"Snakes can't do without a head. Xiao Yan is the only one who has the final say in Liang Guo, and Xiao Yan actually has no enterprising spirit. Even if Liang Guo's Northern Expedition is no matter how fierce it is, it will end without a problem in the end. It depends on how far it can be achieved. "

I didn't expect to look at the problem from such an angle. Chen Yuankang thought for a while, and finally sighed: "This is the first time I have heard your statement, but it is indeed very reasonable. But you have ignored one person, that is you Zhu Rong."

"Er Zhurong?"

Liu Yishou pretended not to know, how could he not know who came out to clean up Yuan Hao in the end.

"Li Yuanzhong and the others have been paying close attention to Er Zhurong's movements. However, all Er Zhurong's movements are...no movement, nothing done!"

A cunning flashed in Chen Yuankang's eyes, and he asked, "My dear brother, do you know why Er Zhurong is not moving?"
