Governor please stay

After thinking about it, the two really don't know who Xiao Yan will let in command.

"Could it be Wei Fang?"

Liu Yishou asked curiously, he suddenly remembered this person.Of course, the deeds of this person in the previous life did not seem to be very obvious, but in this life Liu Yishou heard that this person is mature and prudent, quite famous, good at governing the country, and can also lead troops.

More importantly, he is the eldest son of Wei Rui, a famous general of the Southern Dynasties, and he has many contacts in the army.

"My lord..."

Chen Yuankang didn't know how to say something.

"Chang You may wish to speak up if you have something to say."

"This person passed away three days ago. He was in Zhongli before, not far from here. Lan Qin also attended his funeral."

Chen Yuankang said expressionlessly.

You can talk about anything, you can say that Xiao Yan sends a pig to command the army, but if the person dies, it will be fine!

"Wei Fang actually passed away!"

Liu Yishou said with emotion.

Nanliang is now like a patient whose body is rapidly aging. Some of the great figures have all withered, and the newcomers have not stepped up.

"Chen Baxian from Matou County is very cunning, will Xiao Yan let him go?"

Liu Yishou asked in a deep voice.

Chen Yuankang sneered and said: "Where is that cat or dog? Xiao Ying is just one of the soldiers. If Xiao Ying is held down, he can't go anywhere!

Rather than talking about him, it's better to talk about Wu Mingche, at least Wu Mingche is still the princess' handsome man in name. "

Unlike the Northern Wei Dynasty, Nanliang was already full of wars and wars, and everything was spoken by knives, and the survival of the fittest.The atmosphere of ranking according to seniority is still very strong here.

No matter how powerful Chen Baxian was in history, now, he has no chance to play his role at all. He is even being squeezed by Liu Yishou's people in Matou County, and his life is very difficult.

"Forget it, just treat it as opening a blind box."

It was getting late now, Liu Yishou patted Chen Yuankang on the shoulder and said, "Let's go to the camp outside the city."

Going to the barracks at night?

Chen Yuankang was a little puzzled, but he couldn't say anything, so he could only salute.The two walked out of the study room, and found Hu Luxian lying on the stone table alone reading a book, probably looking for nothing to understand, scratching his head and looking anxious.

When the words are used, I hate less, which is probably what this guy is thinking at the moment.

Liu Yishou held back his laughter, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Go, accompany me to inspect the camp!"

I met Yuan Shikang practicing martial arts near the gatehouse of the mansion, Liu Yishou called him, and together with more than ten soldiers, they went to the outskirts camp.

Before entering the camp, everyone saw two guards standing listlessly outside the camp gate.Seeing Liu Yishou and others coming, I was so frightened that my soul flew to the sky!

"After ten beats of the drum, those who did not go to the school field to line up, how should we deal with it according to the military law?"

Liu Yishou asked Chen Yuankang.

"According to military law, it should be executed."

Chen Yuankang's complexion changed slightly and he said.

"That's it, beat the drum, start now. After ten beats, we will go to the school ground in the camp."

Liu Yishou said to the two guards standing guard.

Everyone's expressions changed, they didn't expect Liu Yishou to be so decisive.

……

The school grounds were lit with torches, illuminating everything inside and out.There were five people kneeling on the ground, tied up in a mess.Dugu Xin and Zhao Gui who stood beside them looked ugly, but they couldn't get angry.

This big camp is the trilogy of the two of them. They are going to change into new military uniforms and uniform weapons in Shouyang City. They will go out from here after supplies.Unexpectedly, Liu Yishou made a surprise attack.

Do you think the other party is right?It does make sense, and the blame can only be blamed on them thinking that it is near Shouyang, and it is impossible for something to relax their vigilance.

"The expedition is imminent, and the current state of the army makes me very worried."

Liu Yishou sighed, and said to Duguxin and Zhao Gui.

"My lord, please punish me."

"That's it."

Liu Yishou waved his hand.Just when everyone thought he would lift the board high and put it down gently.Just heard a shocking order.

"These five people should all be beheaded, the knife should be faster, it shouldn't hurt. With their lazy state, they will die on the battlefield, so it's better to behead them now, as a warning to others.

Better to cry as a family than all the way. "

Duguxin and Zhao Gui seemed to want to say something, but seeing Liu Yishou's serious expression, they finally sighed and waved their hands.These five people were taken down, and soon, five heads were hung at the gate of the camp.

Liu Yishou took the two of them to the commander's tent.He said worriedly: "This expedition seems to be not dangerous, but no one knows how those pig teammates from Liang Guo will cheat you. And before Liang Jun fails, you can't retreat very far.

In fact, the danger is not when you are attacking the city, but when you have captured Donghai County and Xiapi County, but Liang Jun has not sent troops to Lanling County.Once the situation collapses, not to mention letting you repel the enemies of Wei, at least you can escape back to Pengcheng and stand by for help, right? "

Only then did Dugu Xin and Zhao Gui come to their senses, and realized that their previous thinking was too simple.The enemy may not be prepared as you think, and everything will follow the route you planned.

There may be such enemies, but just like the giant pandas of later generations, they belong to the kind that are about to become extinct.

"Before you capture the second county, you can relax a bit. If you can't beat it, you can retreat. Once you conquer the second county, especially after conquering Xiapi County, you must keep your spirits up. I hope that today's five heads can be saved. A trace of peace."

"Please rest assured, my lord!"

The two clasped their hands and replied, respectfully.The previous dissatisfaction is long gone.

"We will start to change our costumes tomorrow. In name, we are Liang Guo's army. Remember, don't get involved by the idiots sent by Xiao Yan."

After leaving the barracks, everyone returned to the mansion. Liu Yishou took Chen Yuankang back to the study room. Just as he was seated, the resourceful counselor asked calmly: "My lord actually asked the two of you to explore the way and test Gao Huan's depth. .The real killing move is yet to come, right?"

"That's natural."

Liu Yishou nodded slightly, but did not deny Chen Yuankang's guess.

"Where is the killing move?"

"There is a mountain in the northwest of Xiapi City, named Zhuyu Mountain. Just east of this mountain, there is a small city named Wuyuan City. Wuyuan City is located between Xiapi City and Lanling County. If the Liang army is defeated for thousands of miles, the Wei army will If you chase, this is the winner."

Wuyuan City?

Chen Yuankang thought for a long time, but he didn't understand why.

Liu Yishou didn't know how to tell him.There is a well-known name here in later generations, called: Taierzhuang!

Taierzhuang is not important, will the Japanese invaders concentrate their forces to attack here?But how do you explain this to others?

Chapter 316 However, you have to add money

After the autumn harvest of this year, Hebei has a bumper harvest, the people's hearts are stable, and there is a trend of revival.But there is one exception, and that is Youzhou.Because Han Lou is Ge Rong's trilogy, after Ge Rong failed, he fled to Youzhou City to defend himself, and lived by looting the surrounding area.

However, Hebei has experienced years of turmoil, and people's livelihood has long been overwhelmed.After Gao Huan promulgated a series of measures to calm the people, the few remaining farmers in Youzhou began to flee in large numbers to Fanyang and other places in the south.

In view of this, Gao Huan appointed Hu Lujin, who had recently joined him, as the governor of Youzhou and the governor of Youzhou.He led ten thousand elite cavalry from the headquarters to cross the border all the way, recruiting soldiers from various counties along the way.

When they arrived in Fanyang, they had already declared to the outside world that "20 elite soldiers and auxiliary soldiers are useless."

Han Lou didn't know why, so he dispatched his general Chen Zhou with [-] troops to confront the Hulujin Department on both sides of Shengshui (this is a river) in Liangxiang.

On the night of the confrontation, the temperature dropped sharply, and heavy snow fell in the sky.Chen Zhou thought that under such circumstances, it was impossible for Hu Lujin to play any tricks, so he relaxed his vigilance.

But what he didn't expect was that Hu Lujin ordered his vanguard, that is, the eldest son Hu Luguang, to lead the cavalry to take a detour and cross the river from a river beach that is far away from the confrontation point, but the depth of the river is the shallowest. After two hours, from the direction of Youzhou City, a surprise attack was carried out on Chen Zhou's camp!

It was bitter cold outside the Great Wall, and the elite of the Hulu Department fought in winter, and they had the endurance that ordinary Central Plains soldiers did not have.Chen Zhou, who was in a hurry to fight, was obviously not the opponent of Hulubu. During the melee, when Chen Zhou was directing the resistance, Huluguang shot him in the face with an arrow and died on the spot.

The ensuing battle turned out to be one-sided.The trilogy under Ge Rong's command has poor cohesion. After encountering a sudden attack, it quickly collapsed beyond control.

The remnants of Chen Zhou's troops fled to Youzhou City, and Han Lou, who learned of the battle, was so frightened that he abandoned Youzhou City and went to Jundu Mountain in the north of the city.

Hulu Jin's troops occupied Youzhou City without bloodshed, and then settled down in Youzhou. They did not take advantage of the victory to pursue, and Han Lou was able to escape.

……

Outside Shouyang City, relying on the Huaihe River, Liu Yishou ordered Yang Min to preside over the construction of a super-large crossbow workshop, which was only responsible for the assembly of crossbows.The crossbow bodies, crossbow poles, crossbow machines, crossbow strings, etc. are all made by other workshops and sent here for assembly.

This super-large workshop operates in what Liu Yishou called an "assembly line".Each person is only responsible for assembling one part, and a production line is "quality inspected" by a mature craftsman.

After several months of busy work, this large workshop also stopped production after winter. After Liu Yishou gave the workers "holiday expenses" and "year-end bonuses" for the New Year, he sent them home ahead of time to celebrate the New Year.

On the surface, Dudu Liu showed kindness to give profits to those hard-working technicians, but the actual situation is: the organization of the assembly line leads to too fast production speed, including the workshops for parts production, which are all in short supply of raw materials and cannot be reproduced. !

The wood used to make crossbow bolts is not just a random tree.The type of tree needs to be specified, including how old it is.Of course, this problem is not difficult to solve.

After all, there are many mountains and forests around Shouyang.

The more difficult part is that the wood needs to be placed for a year before it can be used as raw materials after drying.The original wood was searched by them from warehouses in various places in Huainan, and now it is out of stock.

Iron rings for crossbows require iron materials.Iron materials need charcoal and iron ore to be smelted, and blacksmiths are also required to forge them.Blacksmiths are easy to solve, but the iron mines that are easy to mine are not in Shouyang.

In fact, it's not just this, Liu Yishou found that once the relevant production was started, except for raw materials such as charcoal and coal (coal), they were short of almost everything else!

In desperation, he had no choice but to convene all his advisers to join the army to discuss countermeasures.Before next year, everything will be shut down.

In the lobby of the government office, a thick stack of papers was placed in front of Yang Min.He tossed around in it, and finally sighed helplessly: "Master, there is a place named Tongshan in the south of Pengcheng. Since the Warring States period, it has been a place where copper and iron have been produced. Every dynasty has smelting supervision here, but Because of the war, it has been abandoned there.

As long as the mines in Tongshan can be put into operation, iron materials will naturally be fine.

As for wood...it can be realized by cutting and storing in advance in the future, but right now, far away water can't be solved near fire. "

Yang Min sighed, wood is not the same as iron, it is not a product controlled by the Liang government.But how to put it, if you get anxious, you can kill a person in a hurry.If you want to store it for a certain period of time, then you must honestly act according to the laws of the development of things.

It is impossible to make a qualified product by rushing ducks to the shelves.

"Actually, I feel that we can go to the feudal lords from all over the world to buy wood, iron and other necessary raw materials. They should actually have a lot of stock in their hands."

Cui Xian, who doesn't talk much on weekdays, suggested thoughtfully.

Liu Yishou's eyes lit up, it was true that he had never thought of buying timber from feudal lords from all over the place.Since the Western Han Dynasty, wood and other materials that can be used to make crossbow arrows have been the strategic resources of various regimes.No matter whether you have the ability to make crossbow bolts or not, it doesn't take much effort to cut a piece of wood for storage.

The number of crossbows in the treasuries of the powerful princes and kings in the Western Han Dynasty started from [-].You said that the government and the feudal princes and kings in various parts of the Liang State did not have timber stocks?Simply unimaginable.

"Our relationship with these people is extremely bad. They would rather take the wood to burn than sell it to us."

Liu Yishou waved his hand, and said something disappointing.Traditional crossbows are not good enough, and they can't take the route of modern machinery industry these days. It is estimated that hot weapons will peak when gunpowder is reached, which is really one head and two big.

"My lord's words are very true, but these problems are not caused by us. Who would have thought that Xiao Yan's sons are such waste?"

Yang Min said with emotion.

Not to mention Xiao Yi, who has the most episodes and the most powerful under his command, he directly participated in the assassination of Liu Yishou.Xiao Gang's small coin was kept by the crown prince under Xiao Yan's watchful eye.

Xiao Lun and Xiao Xu wanted Liu Yishou to die soon, so how could they help?

"My lord, didn't you always tell us before that only seven or eight-year-old children can tell right from wrong, adults like us should pay attention to gain and loss, don't we?"

Cui Xian said calmly, using what Liu Yishou said to prove what he was going to say next.

"So what are you trying to say?"

Liu Yishou felt that since Cui's younger sister became pregnant, Cui Siam's enthusiasm for doing things became much higher.Sure enough, human beings are animals of interest, and feelings alone cannot win over people's hearts.

"The subordinate wants to say that we can sell the finished crossbows to those vassal kings, and then buy other necessary raw materials from them. Especially, we can start with the descendants of Xiao Tong in Jingxiang, such as Xiao People like Huan and Xiao Xi."

Why does this routine of buying raw materials and then exporting finished products sound so familiar?Liu Yishou fell into deep thought, and found that Cui Xian's idea didn't seem impossible, but there was still a problem.

"The craftsman's workshop is a must. Why don't they produce it themselves and buy ours?"

Liu Yishou asked a little puzzled.

Hearing this, Yang Min sneered and said, "Those vassals cannot afford the cost of making crossbows. They need to open workshops, hire craftsmen, and go all in one. These are all money. And the quality of production is also very high." It's hard to guarantee.

These vassal kings actually took the raw materials and asked the craftsmen and supervisors of the government near the fiefdom to make them, and they just waited for the goods to be received.

But these lords often use the name of Xiao Yan to waste their wages, so the government workshop is also very perfunctory, often hacking some of their raw materials and delivering some inferior products.

These princes themselves are not familiar with military affairs, and now they are not fighting, so they go down layer by layer..."

Yang Min gave Liu Yishou a "you understand" look.

Liu Yishou fully understands that there are policies at the top and countermeasures at the bottom, and no one will work in vain.

"Well, send someone to contact Xiao Xie. This guy is very courageous. Ask him if he wants a single-man crossbow machine equipped with standard equipment. If he wants it, he can exchange it for raw materials, and give it unlimited! Wood, iron, whatever you have ,all I want!"

Liu Yishou made a decision immediately, war is the logistics of fighting.This guy Xiao Xi is extremely dissatisfied with Xiao Yan's eccentricity, wouldn't he develop armaments in secret?

"Xiao Yi is the strongest guy, so I won't tell him. As for Xiao Lun and Xiao Xu, we can send someone to contact them. When they grow stronger, they will naturally think that Xiao Yan's position is only for us to win over. They will definitely not be our enemies. At least before the chaos in Liang Guo."

Liu Yishou's way of doing things is to be bold, unrestrained, daring to do things, and to make a plan twice.
