Governor please stay

"This rhetoric is very beautiful, and it can be passed on to the masters of the central government for reading."

Xiao Yan stroked his long beard and smiled.

Is riding a horse the point?Where is your focus!

Zhu Yi rushed to the top of his head with anger. If the opponent was not the emperor, but a bad old man without official position, he would have grabbed the opponent's hair bun and beat him up.

I didn’t sleep last night thinking about countermeasures, and now my eyes are red, my mind is a mess, and my whole body is not good. You tell me that this rhetoric is very gorgeous?

"Your Majesty, it is urgent to rescue the princes. Rescuing soldiers is like putting out fire!"

Zhu Yi bowed deeply to Xiao Yan and said.He was in such a hurry.

"My son-in-law is right about one thing. I need to choose someone to command the overall situation, and it must be my prince. Who do you think can take on this important task?"

This question was expected by Zhu Yi.In fact, he had already guessed that Xiao Yan would ask this question, and he already had a draft.

"I think there are only two people who are qualified to be in command."

Zhu Yi cupped his hands to Xiao Yan and said.

"Who?"

Xiao Yan narrowed his eyes and asked.

"The most righteous person is the prince. The prince is an example for many princes, and he should also be in command."

Zhu Yi said calmly, when a suggestion is made, the first suggestion will usually be eliminated first. thing.

"The prince has no ability to lead the army."

Xiao Yan shook his head and denied it with one word.

"In this case, the Seventh Prince Xiao Yi is currently in the town of Suyu. He has many elite soldiers and generals who can be commanded. As the commander-in-chief of the army, he is barely suitable. Of course, the emperor has a better candidate, and I will naturally give my full support."

"Ah Qi is in Suyu, if he doesn't go back to Xiangzhou, is he waiting for something to happen to his brothers?"

Xiao Yan counted the beads and asked a very heartbreaking question.It is not accidental that Xiao Yi can stand out after the Hou Jing Rebellion in history.Although before that, he seemed to be very low-key and loved literature and didn't care about worldly affairs.

However, he went to Xiangzhou to hold a large army and recruited many talents, the most famous of which were Wang Sengbian, Wang Lin and others, and I will not mention the others.

You said that you are a vassal who loves literature, has no intention of being the throne, and can't possibly be a prince. Why do you raise so many elite soldiers?Why recruit so many capable generals and strategists?

Liu Yishou had studied Xiao Yan's sons in private, and was quite afraid of Xiao Yi's madness and tolerance.If Xiao Xu is a dog that can bark and doesn't bite, then Xiao Yi is a dog that can bark but doesn't bark, so he really has to be on guard.

When Xiao Yan asked Zhu Yi this way, he actually noticed that Xiao Yi, the son, seemed not so pure in his mind.

"Your Majesty, such a thing may really happen. But even if you have to settle the score, you will have to settle it in the future. The rescue can't be delayed!"

Zhu Yi was so anxious that he was about to cry.

Zhu Yi is not a loyal minister, not even a good person.He is a big greedy man, and he enjoys selling his official titles, and the prince has to give him money if he wants to do something.The heart is big, the heart is wild enough, and the hands and eyes are open to the sky.

But even so, he is the only person in the Nanliang Center who is still in charge.Under Xiao Yan's leadership, Nanliang practiced Buddhism collectively in recent years, and there are some "Buddhas" inside and out.

Because of this, even though Xiao Yan knew that Zhu Yi was greedy, he still trusted him.

"Let Ah Qi (Xiao Yi) clean up the situation. Liu Yishou is under his control, but he can do things cheaply."

Xiao Yan sighed wearily, this incident became more and more troublesome, which made him feel restless.

What Zhu Yi was waiting for was this sentence, throw the blame on Xiao Yi and Liu Yishou, and he would not have to worry about it all day long. If any prince dies in the future, just push Xiao Yi and Liu Yishou out and everything will be fine.

He left Tongtai Temple and returned to the Yamen, wrote the official document, and sent it to Jiankang in a hurry.

……

During the time when Liang Guozhong made decisions back and forth, new changes appeared in the battle situation in Huaibei!Wei Jun's follow-up troops arrived and began to move from strategic defense to full-line counterattack!

The Gaoyue Department of the Wei Army went south to attack Zengcheng, Zhang Baoluo's Department set out from Yongxing to attack Chengxian County eastward, and the Modo Loudai Cultural Department attacked Lanling from Tan County!The Wei army marched in three directions, like a tiger descending the mountain.

In Lanling and Chengxian County, Liang Jun, who had been demoralized for a long time, was no match at all. In a panic, Xiao Ji put Liu Zhongli at the back, and fled to Wuyuan with his cronies, hoping to join Xiao Zhengde.

However, when Xiao Zhengde learned of Xiao Ji's arrival, he not only went out of the city to greet him, but acted as if he didn't know anything, and ordered the gates of the city to be closed tightly, and no one was allowed to enter the city.

After repelling Zhang Baoluo's pursuit, Liu Zhongli got the news that Xiao Ji had gone to Wuyuan City.So he also took the remnant soldiers to Wuyuan, and found that Xiao Zhengde had closed the city gates tightly!

Liu Zhongli was furious. After learning what Xiao Zhengde had done, the soldiers under his command felt the same hatred. In view of this, Xiao Ji ordered Liu Zhongli to prepare to attack the city!

Seeing that the situation was not good, Xiao Zhengde didn't know whether to open the city gate. At this time, the governor Zhao Bochao suggested that he could open the city gate and say something nice to Xiao Ji. He said that the situation outside the city was unknown before, so he dared not open the city.

So Xiao Zhengde followed his suggestion, opened the city to let Xiao Ji's army enter the city, and sent scouts to investigate the movement in the south.Soon, they got the news that Xiapi City had been captured by the Wei army, and the route back to Liang was blocked!

Xiao Ji was so frightened that he didn't even think about making trouble for Xiao Zhengde.At this time, Hu Guisun, who had been at the back all the time, came to Wuyuan City with his remnants and wanted to enter the city. In a fit of rage, Xiao Ji ordered the head of the city to shoot arrows down the city, driving Hu Guisun and his remnants away.

As a last resort, Hu Guisun could only take a small number of soldiers and horses to the surrounding mountains and forests, but disappeared.Then the Wei army arrived, surrounded Wuyuan City on all sides, and began to shout towards the city.

At the same time, Gao Aocao, who occupied Xiapi County, was dishonest. He tentatively attacked Xiaxiang City in the south, but Yu Wentai, Liu Yishou's subordinate, was holding on tightly, unable to advance a single step.

Gao Aocao hit a hard nail, turned his spearhead and attacked Lu County westward, but was resisted by Zhao Gui's department again.

For a while, Gao Aocao was also aware of his long-distance drive, and it seemed that no one had noticed.If not, why do these two portal-level cities seem to have been operated for a period of time, and the defense is very stable?

If Liang Jun came to defend in a hurry, it would never be possible to have such a solid defense.

Gao Aocao didn't dare to make further waves, knowing that the basic goal of capturing Xiapi City had been achieved, and it seemed impossible to expand the results of the battle at present.

He hurriedly ordered his subordinates to organize the defense of Xiapi County and block the retreat of the Liang army.In this wave of battles, the node depends on who owns Xiapi County.Mastering Xiapi County holds the key to victory.

At least that's what Gao Huan's many advisers think.

……

Suyu (Suqian, Jiangsu) is an important town in Huainan, and its strategic position is extremely important. It can even be said to be the key gateway to the most important salt-producing area in Liang State.

At this very moment, in the prefect's mansion in Suyu City, a one-eyed dragon wearing a single eyepatch and the court clothes of King Liang couldn't hold back his excitement, holding a file in his hand, and was walking back and forth eagerly in the hall of the mansion. !

"Gentleman! Gentleman! This time the king depends entirely on you!"

This one-eyed prince is Xiao Yi, the seventh son of Xiao Yan. The "juncai" in his mouth is a watch character. The man's name is Wang Sengbian, and his character is Juncai. He has followed Xiao Yi for almost 20 years.

He can be regarded as the hard-core king among Xiao Yi's hard-core cronies!

Wang Sengbian is not alone, but a family. Obviously, his father Wang Shennian has been looking for backers everywhere since his family took refuge in Liang Guo.Wang Sengbian will be arranged next to Xiao Yi, and all this is the result of the operation of the Wang family (Karasuma Wang family).

It can be said that Wang Sengbian knew Xiao Yi's thoughts, and Xiao Yi also knew Wang Sengbian's ability.

Even above "brother-in-law" Wang Lin.

"Your Highness, this time the emperor ordered His Highness to lead the army and supervise all the military forces in various states. This subordinate thinks that this does not seem to be a good thing."

Wang Sengbian, who seemed to be in his early thirties and was rather burly, said calmly.

Xiao Yi was a little unhappy when a basin of cold water came down.However, Wang Sengbian is the beloved general he relies on, and he can't chill the other party's heart.So Xiao Yi asked calmly: "Then how do you think we should deal with it?"

"The final general is willing to lead troops to take down Picheng to establish the military prestige! After that, His Highness's orders can be commanded like arms. Otherwise, the government orders will not go out of Suyu, what can we do?"

Well, what Wang Seng argued makes sense.

Xiao Yi continued to ask: "Why do you see it?"

"Shouyang Liu Yishou's subordinates are full-fledged, relying on himself as a son-in-law, he is rebellious. Needless to say, Lan Qin was born as a general of Zhige, and it is difficult to obey orders in Zhongli. Xiao Ying of Matou County is also from the clan. Now The few clans trapped are not easy-going lamps, so it may be very difficult for His Highness to ask them to cooperate."

At the risk of offending Xiao Yi, Wang Sengbian still expressed his opinion, or prejudice.

Xiao Yi instantly felt that the edict given by Xiao Yan was not good!

Chapter 325 The port barrage is too thin

In response to Gao Huan's aggressive strategic offensive, Liang Guo finally made a major decision.

Xiao Yi, the seventh son of Xiao Yan, was ordered to supervise the military forces in Huaihe and Huaihe Rivers, so that he could coordinate and control the troops from all walks of life.

Except for the Yangyaren tribe who stood firm in Tong County on the front line in Huaibei, Xiao Xu who was trapped in Yuzhou, and Xiao Zhengde and Xiao Ji who were trapped in Wuyuan.Even Liu Yishou, who sits in Shouyang and governs several counties, Xiao Ying, who is in dire straits in Matou County, and Lan Qin, who guards Zhongli, are all under his jurisdiction.

It can be said bluntly that if these soldiers and horses can obey orders, rebellion is more than enough.

Xiao Yi ordered Wang Sengbian to be the leading general, responsible for commanding and coordinating the various ministries.The first thing Wang Sengbian did after taking over was to order soldiers from the surrounding states and counties to assemble and obey orders to prepare for action.

He himself took Xiao Yi's [-] elite private army, plus [-] county soldiers stationed in Suyu, and headed north along Surabaya, preparing to attack Xiapi County.

Wang Sengbian marched all the way. When he passed the prime minister, he ordered people to go into the city to inform Yuwentai, and let Yuwentai lead troops to attack together with him.

The order was directly rejected by Yu Wentai, and he bluntly threatened to ask Liu Dudu of Shouyang City to make a decision, otherwise it would be all nonsense.

Wang Sengbian was so angry!

It's a pity that people's hearts are already very impetuous now, and they are very doubtful about whether they can defeat Wei Jun, which is really inconvenient.Wang Sengbian ordered people to record Liu Yishou's governor Yu Wentai's disobedience, and planned to settle the account after repelling the Wei army.

The army marched all the way to Xiapi city.

The city of Xiapi is surrounded by water on three sides, and in the northeast of the city, there is a bridge on the Yishui River named "圯", that is, the bridge of Yi.

Back then, Zhang Liang was dissatisfied with the rule of the Qin Dynasty and recruited assassins to assassinate Qin Shihuang. After the attack failed, he hid in Xiapi.

Then meet Huang Shigong on the Diqiao Bridge.

Huang Shigong took off his shoes on purpose, and asked Zhang Liang to put them on for him, and Zhang Liang followed his advice.Huang Shigong saw that this scholar could be molded, and then called Zhang Liang to the bridge. After several tests, he believed that the scholar was honest and credible, and then passed on "Taigong Art of War" to him.

After arriving at Xiapi City, Liang Jun quickly strangled all the rangers sent by Gao Aocao and besieged Xiapi City.

Wang Sengbian observed the surrounding terrain and found that there is only one side facing the ground and three sides are water, which is very difficult to deal with.Now that the severe winter has passed, although the ice on the river is still visible, it is so thin that you can see the fish swimming in the river, and it is impossible for people to stand on it.

Although Gao Aocao's troops were trapped in Xiapi, the northern passage was still controlled by the Wei army.As long as a support soldier repels the defenders in the north, the siege can be broken.It can be said that the other party can escape at any time.

If you really want to describe it, this battle is an unfair gamble.If Gao Aocao loses, he can still keep his capital. If Wang Sengbian loses, then the Lianghuai and Huaihe Rivers will really collapse!

Even if he wins, it will only open the passage to Lanling, and then he will have to fight Wei Jun outside Wuyuan City.

Wang Sengbian observed the terrain outside Xiapi city for a day, but he didn't think of any clever way, so he was depressed.

……

The latitude of Shouyang is much lower than that of Xiapi City.At this time, the cold winter has passed, and although the wind is still noisy, the chill in his bones has gradually faded.

On the grass outside the city, Liu Yishou took many scribes and generals, put on the long trousers and long sleeves that Hu people often wear, and was organizing the team building.

Liu Yishou took a weird "cue stick" and hit a small wooden ball, smaller than an egg, into the hole in the grass where the flagpole was inserted.

It takes more than a dozen shots to get into the hole, which is not as good as many people who play for the first time!

"My lord, Xiao Yi is urging us to copy down Picheng from the west."

Wang Wei held a stack of papers in his hand and seemed a little anxious.There is no way not to rush, the battle situation in Huaibei is getting worse every day.Thanks to Xiao Zhengde's fear of death, Wei Jun didn't come when he fled to Wuyuan City, and he hoarded a lot of food and grass there.

Otherwise, those people are starving to death now.

"Conquering Picheng, that's what Gao Huan wants us to do, how can we do it? Xiapicheng is so important, Gao Huan will never watch Gao Aocao give up the city to break through, just watch, Wei Jun will definitely More troops will go to Pi."

Liu Yishou dropped his cue on the ground angrily.Damn, he "invented" this fake golf ball, and he played it the worst.

"My lord! My lord! Emergency military situation!"

Yuan Shikang came hurriedly from the direction of Shouyang City, holding a bamboo tube in his hand.

"Read!"

Liu Yishou stretched his waist, looking nonchalant.

"Here!"

Yuan Shikang unwrapped the bamboo tube, his face changed drastically after looking at it.

"My lord, the Wei army increased its troops to Xiapi, and fought fiercely with Wang Sengbian's troops in Xiapi. Now they are facing each other along Yishui, and there is no winner for the time being. Wang Sengbian ordered us to reinforce Xiapi, encircle and wipe out the defenders and reinforcements of Xiapi The next step is to join forces and go north to fight against the Wei army at Wuyuan City."

Yuan Shikang nodded slightly after reading. It has to be said that Wang Sengbian is still a bit level.This deployment is not a blind command.

"Okay, okay, the regiment building is over, let's all go back to the city, go to the government office. We are going to send troops!"

Liu Yishou slapped his hands, and everyone gathered around, whether they were old friends or newcomers, they all looked excited.Even Wang Sizheng, who was working on Liu Yishou's side on behalf of Yuan Xiu, became nervous.

The group returned to the lobby of the government office, sat up straight, and waited for Liu Yishou to speak.

"Wang Sengbian's order can't be said to be wrong, but it just fell into the trap of Wei Jun. We need to spend a lot of effort to break free from this trap to fight back. It takes a lot of energy and energy. This is not a good way."

Liu Yishou shook his head slightly, obviously not optimistic about what Wang Sengbian is doing now.

"My lord, please speak directly."

Chen Yuankang winked at Liu Yishou, implying that all those leading troops in the hall could no longer hold back.

"Yang Xiuzhi, go to Yangdun and Yangshen to ventilate. I need them to retreat in this wave. This time, they will retreat to Guting City north of Pei County."

Is that okay too?

Everyone looked at Liu Yishou suspiciously.Yang Dun and the others fought a lot of tacit battles with them before, and the seesaw between the two sides was like a joke.Gao Huan also turned a blind eye to this.
