Governor please stay

"Okay! Clan brother is really bold! In this way, this king will have no worries!"

Gao Huan laughed heartily.

Chapter 320 The dead friend is not dead

In the other courtyard of the mansion, Liu Yishou casually walked up and down in the snow.On the surface, he pretended to be nonchalant, but his trembling hands reflected the anxiety in his heart.

"Wow! Wow!"

A baby's cry came from the bedroom, Liu Yishou's heart sank, and he breathed a sigh of relief.After a long time, the sweaty Mrs. Wen came out of the bedroom cautiously, bowed to Liu Yishou and said, "Congratulations to Commander Xi, mother and daughter are safe."

It was her daughter!

Liu Yishou heaved a sigh of relief. Xiao Yuzheng was pregnant more than a month earlier than the other girls. If she gave birth to the eldest son, and the father was Xiao Yan, I am afraid that this child will have the same thoughts as Xiao Zhengde when he grows up.

"Well done, go and receive the reward. There are still a few ladies in my house who are expected to give birth in the next month or two, and you will be the one to deliver the baby."

Liu Yishou said calmly with his hands behind his back.

"It's what you want. It's a great honor to be able to work for Liu Dudu, an old slave."

With a chrysanthemum-like smile on her face, Wen Po left the mansion happily.

After Xiao Yujin's situation stabilized, Liu Yishou went to visit and comfort the somewhat disappointed Princess Xiao.Said a lot of good things.

This child, when he was just born, was wrinkled and not beautiful at all.But when he is one year old and two years old, Xiao Gongju will look more and more like a cute little padded jacket.

At this moment, Wang Wei stood quietly at the gate of the courtyard, not knowing whether to come in or not.Liu Yishou shook his head helplessly and waved to him.

"My lord, the Yangyaren Department of the Liang Army has arrived at Kongtong Garrison in Donghai County. Yangyaren sent someone to contact us, hoping that we can set up troops to meet them."

Wang Wei said somewhat unwillingly.But his professional ethics was still intact. Even if he was unwilling, he had to inform Liu Yishou about this matter.

Where is the next photo?It is located in the southwest of Suqian City, Jiangsu Province.Before the Yellow River seized Si and entered the sea, it was the confluence of Sishui and Suishui. Its strategic position was extremely important, and it was also the hometown of Xiang Yu.

If the troops are stationed in the prime minister, then the Liang army located in Xiapi City will be able to return to Liang Guo calmly.I have to say that Yang Yaren still has a few brushes in the war, and he hit the key point at once.However, he asked Liu Yishou to send troops in this way, which is a bit suspected of instructing others to work for nothing.

Liu Yishou had read the detailed map of this area long ago, and kept it all in his mind.He frowned slightly and asked, "Suyu City, not far to the south of Prime Minister, is an important town in Huainan. Does Yang Yaren need us to protect the way out?"

Liu Yishou couldn't believe that a veteran general would make such a mistake, so he would look far away.

"Uh, my lord, it's like this. Xiao Yi, the seventh son of Xiao Yan, is leading soldiers and horses to station troops in Suyu in order to make meritorious service."

Wang Wei said with a strange face, he didn't understand what Xiao Yan was thinking.

Liu Yishou was also surprised by this unconventional behavior. He asked suspiciously: "Did Xiao Yan allow Xiangzhou soldiers to deploy to South Xuzhou? Xiangzhou is not close to there!"

It's true that Xiao Yi is in a foreign town, but the soldiers and horses around him are all elite, not many in number, so it's really not a lot of trouble.

It's not unheard of to play this kind of game, but it was all from when Liang Guo was still plundering land to the north more than ten years ago.

But to be honest, the history behind Liang State is not without exceptions. For example, a few years after Chen Qingzhi returned to Liang State from the Northern Expedition, he beat Hou Jing who took the initiative to attack. At that time, Hou Jing was still Gao Huan. men.

And that time, Xiao Yan was worried that Chen Qingzhi would not be able to beat Hou Jingzhi, so he sent Xia Houkui across the defense zone to support Chen Qingzhi, but before Xia Houkui arrived on the battlefield, Hou Jing was beaten by Chen Qingzhi so that he couldn't take care of himself, fled back to the Eastern Wei Dynasty in embarrassment, and lost all his belongings .

This move is similar to Xiao Yi's deployment of his own troops in Suyu today.The only question is why Xiao Yan would tolerate such a move.Isn't it tiring for so many people to fight for Lanling County?

"Xiao Yi wrote in a letter saying that he hoped to protect his brothers, to be respectful to his brothers and sisters, to be filial to his father, and to contribute to the family. So Xiao Yan readily agreed."

Wang Wei was speechless, not sure what the Xiao family's brain circuit was.

Obviously for the sake of merit, filial piety must take the lead!It can be seen that whoever made great efforts to regain the ancestral land, then whoever is likely to lead in the battle for the next emperor.

Obviously, Xiao Gang's crown prince position is not stable, and everyone can see that Xiao Yan does not seem to have any plans to abdicate in the near future, and this battle for the throne is likely to be a protracted one.

"Yang Yaren probably didn't dare to hand over his back to those princes of the Xiao family, so he asked the lord to help. After all, the lord can also be regarded as the half-son-in-law of the Yang family."

Wang Wei laughed.

Liu Yishou nodded slightly, Xiao Yan's brothers and sons have a reputation that is unbearable to look at directly, and they have deceived many veterans in the battlefield in the past.Yang Yaren would think so, probably because in the past, whenever the princes of the Xiao family sent troops, they would make the battle situation unmanageable.

"Order Yu Wentai to bring 3000 people from the headquarters and set up troops to serve as ministers. Remember, just stand still and don't listen to anyone's orders. No matter how good the battle situation is, don't attack."

Liu Yishou was still a little worried that Chi Yu would be affected, so he just pretended to send some people to look after him.

Because the scale of this battle seems to be bigger than he originally expected.He just threw away a piece of fat, but one or two people in Liang Guocai jumped out to fight.

Now the situation is not something that Xiao Yan can completely control, let alone Liu Yishou.Not only the Xiao family is fighting, but the generals under their command also hope to make meritorious service and rise to the top.

Who will not fight for credit?What is the difference between a person who does not work hard and a salted fish?

"By the way, who is guarding Beihai County?" Liu Yishou remembered something and asked Wang Wei.

As Beihai County borders Wei State and is the closest place to Lanling County, it must deploy elite troops.

"Xiao Xu, the fifth son of Xiao Yan, was named General Anbei, Inspector of Qingzhou, and took charge of Beihai County. However, Xiao Yan did not order him to take on this offensive mission."

Wang Wei was numb by Xiao Yan's weird arrangement.

Wang Wei is very clear about the military situation on the front line.It's just that he still doesn't understand Xiao Yan's intention.All these princes wanted to be gilded on the front line, didn't Xiao Yan also want to see this scene?

"By the way, my lord, it's already severe winter. What are we going to do? What can we do? Just watch a few princes of the Xiao family make trouble in the northeast of Pengcheng?"

In Wang Wei's view, Liang Jun is now in a situation of "Kowloon making troubles in the sea". It looks lively, but how effective it is, I really have to ask a question.And there was another problem, he didn't believe that Liu Yishou didn't see it.

Seeing that Liu Yishou did not answer, Wang Wei asked: "To the west and north of Pengcheng, the Liang army is empty, only our soldiers and horses are there. The Liang army is all deployed in the northeast of Pengcheng. If the Wei army attacks on a large scale, we should detour from the west of Pengcheng. Come, the two wings outflank, the situation will really collapse to the point of no control."

This place in Pengcheng originally belonged to the position of the "bulge", and it was attacked from three sides.Liang Jun didn't even send troops to sweep the northwest flank of Pengcheng to protect the flank. It seemed that their gang was really "fighting a political battle."

"Order to Wu Mingche in Pengcheng to defend Pengcheng to the death and pay attention to the movement north of Pengcheng."

Liu Yishou said indifferently, just made a routine response.

"My lord, in this way..."

"If it doesn't break, it won't stand."

Liu Yishou raised his hand, said four words coldly, Wang Wei instantly understood the essence, and took the order to leave.

Suddenly snow fell from the sky, and it fell on the body one by one.Liu Yishou looked at the gloom above his head, and heaved a long sigh of relief.

……

The Liang army attacked Lanling County in two ways, and the East Route Army started from Beihai County with 2 people, and even conquered Liangcheng, Tanxian and other places north of Xiapi City.All the officials of the local Wei State government surrendered, and Xiao Ji led the troops to occupy the two places almost without bloodshed.

Immediately afterwards, Xiao Ji ordered Liu Zhongli to be the vanguard, leading troops to attack Lanling County!Liu Zhongli encountered a small army of the Wei army, defeated every battle, and captured villages and towns one after another.The Wei army fled into Lanling County in a rout, trying to use the city to resist and protect themselves.

Under Xiao Ji's urging, Liu Zhongli took the lead on the top of the city that night, and took down Lanling County after a bloody battle!

Finally regaining the ancestral land, Xiao Ji burst into tears on the spot, wailing loudly in front of the soldiers of the three armies, and everyone present was moved.The north of Lanling is full of mountains, and there is no danger of being attacked by a large group of Wei troops.

Xiao Ji immediately felt relieved, and sent people to search for Xiao's former residence, the former place, and planned to build an ancestral hall here.

His performance is completely the behavior of a person who is most affectionate and filial.However, the strong enemy is still in preparation, and has not fought against the main force of the Wei army before, and the enemy may counterattack at any time.

Isn't it a little too hasty to build an ancestral hall in such a hurry?

Liu Zhongli raised his own doubts to Xiao Ji.

However, Xiao Ji said: The Xiao clan started in Lanling, a century-old family, and finally ascended to the Ninth Five-Year Plan.With such background, such force, how could he just go back casually after capturing the city?

Xiao Ji refused to stop the construction of the ancestral hall, and said that the matter had been reported to the emperor and could not be changed.

Anyway, I can't persuade you anymore.

In view of the dark and unclear battle situation, Liu Zhongli proposed that he was willing to lead his troops to the north to conquer Zancheng as an early warning place.Further north is Qiucheng, which is the western suburb of Linyi City where Liu Yishou lived in his previous life. It was an important town in Qingzhou in the Northern Wei Dynasty, and there must be heavy troops stationed there.

Even if they didn't before, it will take some time for them to send troops, and Wei Guo has already reacted.

If the main force of the enemy army attacked, Xiao Ji would have enough time to escape in Lanling.

Xiao Ji pondered for a while, and felt that what Liu Zhongli said made some sense.So Liu Zhongli was ordered to lead the main force out of Zangcheng.As for Lanling, there is no strong city to protect it, and it is useless for an army to be trapped in Lanling.

While the East Route Army is progressing smoothly, the West Route Army is also progressing smoothly.

Xiao Zhengde's subordinate Zhao Bochao suggested that the army be divided into two.Xiao Zhengde was with him, and after the whole army captured Wuyuan City, they stationed here, and then asked Hu Guisun to take [-] elite troops to capture Cheng County, and then stationed there to protect the flanks of Lanling County.

In a word, Xiao Zhengde's status is noble, it's not worth the risk, it's better not to leave in such a hurry.Wuyuan City is the most important key node in this place, guarding here and ensuring that this place is safe and sound is the greatest contribution.

I have to say that Zhao Bochao doesn't have much courage, but he has a good vision.

Hu Guisun was originally a martial artist, and Zhao Bochao's suggestion was exactly what he wanted, so he readily accepted the appointment.Xiao Zhengde also didn't want to fight on the front line.The sword has no eyes, who knows what will happen, it is safer to stay behind.

This suggestion was unanimously approved by the three people, which can be described as "each takes what he needs".

Hu Guisun marched northward with five thousand elite soldiers, and rushed to Cheng County on a snowy night.As a result, Cheng County was an empty city, and the Wei State government knew that the "Liang Army's Northern Expedition" was coming, so they all ran away!

Hu Guisun, who is full of fighting spirit, is so angry!He hurriedly sent someone to Wuyuan City to contact Xiao Zhengde, asking for instructions on what to do next.Should we stick to it and wait for help, or continue to plunder the land northward.

I thought that Xiao Zhengde would say stick to the order of waiting for help, but Xiao Zhengde's attack this time was not for "protecting the flank" at all, but for the limelight!

That is to say, Xiao Zhengde intends to come here to "gold-plate" for military exploits, not just to cooperate with Xiao Ji as his grandson!

Xiao Zhengde sent someone to tell Hu Guisun: A man should make contributions while he is alive. There was no opportunity before, but now the opportunity has come, so we must not let it go.

You just stay ahead, if something goes wrong, the sky will fall, and I will take care of it.

In order to boost morale, Xiao Zhengde led his troops to continue northward, arrived at Chengxian County, and ordered to continue to attack northward until they could no longer move!

Hu Guisun was overjoyed when he heard the news, and led [-] soldiers and horses through the frozen swamp, and began to attack Yongxing City (now the southern suburb of Zaozhuang City, Shandong Province), which was protected by many small lakes.

I thought this place would surrender without a fight, but to Hu Guisun's surprise, Wei Guo had already stationed heavy troops here!Even before he gave the order to attack the city, the opponent had already gone out to fight in the field, trying to defeat him before the Liang army besieged the city!

This is exactly what he wants!

Hu Guisun took the lead in the battle and fought fiercely outside Yongxing City with the soldiers and horses of the Wei army led by someone who did not know.

After several fierce battles, the Wei army was defeated and retreated to Yongxing City in embarrassment.Taking advantage of the fact that the city gate was not yet closed, Hu Guisun sent a group of personal soldiers to follow the Wei army's rout to the city gate, and firmly blocked the city gate to prevent it from closing.

The Liang army he led was an imperial army, and its equipment and training were second to none in Liang.

After an hour of fierce fighting, Hu Guisun finally wiped out the enemy army in Yongxing City. It has to be said that this Wei army is still very capable of fighting. Liang Jun suffered a lot of casualties in this battle, and a large number of Wei army soldiers fled to the north place.

Hu Guisun was not familiar with further places, so he didn't dare to venture forward, so he sent someone to ask Xiao Zhengde, what should be the next step?

Xiao Zhengde only spoke impassionedly, but he was still very afraid of fighting in his heart.As soon as Hu Guisun said that there were many enemy troops in Yongxing City, and they seemed to be quite good at fighting, unlike county soldiers, he was immediately scared out of his wits.

He came here to eat fat, not to gnaw bones, especially not to gnaw hard bones!

However, Xiao Yan's order seemed to be somewhat difficult.

At this time, Zhao Bochao suggested that the army retreat to Wuyuan City, and then they can fight back to Chengxian County, and they can also go back to Xiapi City if they retreat.Besides, isn't Hu Guisun still in front?When Xiao Yan punishes him at that time, he can also make excuses.

So Xiao Zhengde ordered Hu Guisun to withdraw to Cheng County and guard Xiao Ji's flank, um, that's it, don't think about anything else.

Xiao Zhengde didn't know what Hu Guisun's expression was after receiving the order, and how he would respond.Anyway, after he knew that the main force of the Wei army had appeared in Yongxing City, he immediately ran away with Zhao Bochao.

Moreover, he didn't even give Xiao Ji a message.

Chapter 321 Defending Sevastopol

Zhang Baoluo, who was born in the Kumoxi tribe, smashed his helmet on the ground in the government office of Gaoping City (now no longer in existence, submerged by Weishan Lake) not far south of Rencheng (Jining, Shandong).

Duan Rong and Duan Shao's father and son in the hall of the government office also looked shocked, they didn't expect Zhang Baoluo to be defeated.

Zhang Baoluo was agile and strong, and was skilled in bow and horse. He participated in Ge Rong's rebellious army in his early years and had considerable military exploits. He was a fierce general under Ge Rong's command, although he was not directly related.

Later, Ge Rong suffered a disastrous defeat, and Zhang Baoluo returned to Er Zhurong and was placed in Hebei. After Er Zhurong retreated to Jinyang, Zhang Baoluo took refuge in Gao Huan.Now, Gao Huan puts Duan Rong and Duan Shao in charge of the road, and Zhang Baoluo is Duan Rong's general, following his orders.

Duan Rong is modest and easy to talk to, and he discusses and decides everything.And Zhang Baoluo is bold and loyal, and the two get along very well.

Previously, Zhang Baoluo followed Duan Rong's order and led his troops to Yongxing City, south of Xue County, to investigate in front of Yongxing City. What he wanted was to block the key points in advance and occupy the key nodes.Before they set off, they had analyzed that Liang Jun's movements would not be so fast, let alone rush forward!

Unexpectedly, when Zhang Baoluo arrived on the front foot, Liang Jun had already arrived at the city on the back foot. This speed is simply unimaginable!All of a sudden, Zhang Baoluo, who was full of confidence, was really confused!

Zhang Baoluo and his subordinates have not been in Yongxing City for a day, and it has not been repaired, and the city has not been fully connected. He has not even figured out what is in the treasury in the city.

It is impossible to defend the city, and it is even more impossible to run, so I have to go out of the city to fight in the field.Zhang Baoluo learned from the information he had obtained before that this time the Liang army was in command of the prince, and that Liu Yishou, who made Gao Huan's subordinates fearful, was nestled in Pengcheng without moving, and even the main force was still in Shouyang!

Zhang Baoluo felt that winning this battle was a sure thing.

However, he met Hu Guisun, who was eager to make contributions because of occupying the empty city, and Liang Guo's few elite imperial guards.As a result, as soon as Zhang Baoluo met the enemy, he knew that something was wrong, and after a fierce battle, he was defeated.

He didn't even dare to enter the nearby Xue County, and fled to Gaoping with the remnants before stopping. He was still shocked to find that Liang Jun didn't pursue him!

Such a strange battle situation not only made Zhang Baoluo in shock, but even Duan Rong and his son, who were full of confidence before, were also very puzzled.

Now there is a question before them, should the army continue to hide in Gaoping, or advance to the previously agreed Xue County to complete the strategic encirclement of the Lanling Liang Army?

If you don't go to Xue County, it means that there is a big gap in the encirclement, and you won't be able to catch anything in the end.

But if they go, Xue County is now under the control of Liang Jun. The army that Zhang Baoluo encountered is so good at fighting, can this battle be won?

Xiao Zhengde may never know that his unintentional reckless move has become the brightest moment in his life, almost driving Duan Rong home!
