Governor please stay

You don't understand Yuriolov's gunship, Liu Yishou was secretly proud.

When everyone heard it, it seemed that there was such a reason, and there seemed to be something wrong, but they couldn't tell the reason.

Everyone present looked at each other in blank dismay, dazzled by Liu Yishou's strange logic.

Just when Wang Wei was about to volunteer himself to write the "Last Edict", Yang Xiuzhi suddenly rushed out and knelt in front of Liu Yishou, grabbed his cuff and shouted loudly: "My lord, I am very good at imitating handwriting. Please let this Edict come out." Write it down! Be sure to give me such a chance!"

Grass!Preempted by him!

Wang Wei scolded Yang Xiu for being shameless!

The curtain opened, let's see Liu Dudu criss-crossing Nanliang, asking for a ticket.

Chapter 382 The Xiao family has many filial sons, and Jiangnan has many good ministers

Xiao Yan was assassinated in Jiankang Taicheng Xianyang Palace, Xiao Gang went to mourn, and then prepared to ascend the throne, and asked all the vassal princes to return to Jiankang for the funeral and attend the enthronement ceremony at the same time.

For a while, all parts of the Liang Kingdom fell into a strange silence.

The water is too muddy, things are too weird, and now no one knows how to stand in line.

Let's take a look first and then talk, it should be everyone's thoughts, even Xiao Lun who has a bad temper can hold back.

How could Liu Yishou be stupid enough to assassinate the king when he was summoned?

Is Xiao Gang the mastermind of this matter? He is already the prince, so why should he be so anxious?

Could it be that a third person was behind the scenes in an attempt to make a profit?

Should Xiao Gang be respected as the new emperor, or should he "work hard for the king against rebellion" and support a certain vassal king to send troops to build health?

Unanswered questions one after another linger in everyone's mind.

None of the feudal lords responded to Xiao Gang's call, but at the same time, no one stood up to oppose it.Everyone seemed to be waiting to see which way the typhoon would blow.

Xiao Yan's funeral was held in a deserted manner, and many courtiers were absent from Xiao Gang's enthronement ceremony. As for the Xiao clan, as long as they were not in Jiankang, none of them were present.There are still many officials fleeing from Jiankang City, and it seems that they are not optimistic about Xiao Gang's ability to calm down the chaos.

The edict issued by Xiao Gang back then was very strict.However, when he and his cronies found that no one responded, they did not send troops to hold them accountable.Instead, they secretly contacted the big clans such as the Wei family and the Liu family, and gathered troops in Jiankang and Sanwu areas.

Enthronement is just a nominal thing, soldiers, horses, food, supplies, these are the weights that make all the towns bow their heads.Even though Xiao Gang has already sat in the position he once dreamed of, he still needs time to prepare for it.

Not only Xiao Gang, but other princes and ministers in the court are also very clear.Regarding the assassination of Xiao Yan, whether Xiao Gang did it is not important anymore.

In any case, this incident has already happened, and it is impossible to turn back time.

Who is the murderer is not only empty talk, but no one really cares.

Even if Xiao Gang can produce solid evidence, everyone will treat it as if they can't see or understand.Because only after a bloody "elimination match", the final winner can define right and wrong.

If you don't have soldiers and horses, you can't quell the chaos, so what is reasonable will become unreasonable.This is the so-called right and wrong are about strength, and justice does not depend on people's hearts.

This new year is very dull, no amount of laughter can dilute the tension and depression caused by Xiao Yan's assassination.

However, on the day of the first day of the Lunar New Year, Liyang prefect Xiao Fan and Nanqiao governor Pei Zhigao jointly issued an appeal, denouncing the former prince, the current emperor Xiao Gang, blaming a deer for a horse, killing the king and usurping the throne, framing Zhongliang, and committing heinous crimes!

The entire Nanqiao Prefecture will not recognize the succession of Xiao Gang, who killed the king and father, and called on all the vassals to unite to attack Jiankang, and then set things right, and elect a highly respected clan as the new emperor.

And send people through Liang Guo's post station system to spread the call to action.

In short, Xiao Fan and others do not agree with Xiao Gang, but apart from Xiao Gang, the other vassals seem to be able to accept anyone, and they are open-minded.

As soon as this proclamation comes out, it is like pouring a cup of hot water into a boiling oil pan, and the pan will be fried in an instant!

Xiao Xu of Luling County (Ji'an, Jiangxi), Xiao Lun of Guangling County (Yangzhou), and Xiao Yi of Xiangzhou (Changsha, Hunan) successively raised anti-flags in response to Xiao Fan.

On the contrary, Liu Yishou, the "sufferer" this time, was as blind and deaf as he didn't express his opinion at all!He just wrote to the imperial court through the official station, saying that he was wronged and that someone else assassinated Xiao Yan, and he was completely unaware of this.

And then no more!

Seeing that Liu Yishou didn't seem to intend to make a move, Xiao Gang was determined.Knowing that Xiao Fan was going to do something, he immediately ordered Liu Zhongli to lead a total of [-] imperial troops and aristocratic soldiers, and his commanders were Zhao Bochao, Hu Guisun and others, and went straight to Liyang along the Yangtze River. Come.

Seeing the enemy's strength, Xiao Fan firmly defended Liyang, and at the same time sent people to ask for help from Shouyang.However, all the messengers sent to ask for help did not return, as if nothing had disappeared.

……

Several building boats traveled upstream along the Huaihe River, going up the river without making any stops along the way.On one of the large boats, Liu Yishou stood at the bow, frowning, as if he was thinking about some difficult decision.

"My lord, this time we are bringing hundreds of old men in white robes, isn't it a bit dangerous?"

Yuan Shikang stood behind Liu Yishou and asked cautiously.

From Shouyang to Xiangyang, the journey went smoothly.However, the south of Xiangyang is not safe.Baling County (Yueyang) south of Jiangling is the bridgehead for Xiao Yi to send troops.Xiao Yi garrisoned heavy troops here, with Wang Sengbian as the governor.

Xiao Yan ordered Xiao Yi to move to Jiangzhou many times before, but Xiao Yi always resisted the imperial court's order on the grounds that "the rich chieftain in Xiangxi is about to move, and it is not appropriate to move lightly".

"The only thing I am worried about is Jiangling. It is estimated that Xiao Yi should have controlled Jiangling when we arrived in Xiangyang. If Xiao Yi can't think about attacking Xiangyang, it will be really troublesome."

Liu Yishou said worriedly.It is impossible for any strategy to be perfect, and now they are competing for speed with those vassal kings.

With tens of thousands of troops west?

Please, if that's the case, everyone knows that Dudu Liu is going to Xiangyang to bring Xiao Xie and others back, and then he will play the trick of respecting the king and beating rebellion.

Now Xiao Yan's sons are all raising the flag of rebellion, but it is because Xiao Gang has secured the position of emperor, which is not good for everyone.

So those people didn't worry about whether Liu Yishou was a regicide or not, and didn't worry about whether Liu Yishou, who was armed with a heavy army, was a huge threat.Anyway, Liu Yishou's surname was not Xiao, so he couldn't ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor. The first thing these vassal kings had to do was to invade Jiankang, so they didn't care what Liu Yishou was doing in Huainan.

As long as Liu Yishou doesn't take refuge in Xiao Gang and doesn't stand in their way, then it's not his turn to deal with Liu Dudu for the time being.

It was precisely because he saw through this point that Liu Yishou did not announce the so-called "legacy" and did not even directly raise the flag of opposition to fight against Xiao Gang!

As long as the soldiers and horses are not mobilized, many feudal lords can relax their vigilance.Entering the village secretly, not shooting anyone, this is the strategy of using troops.How can there be a sneak attack after "loudly plotting"!

Of course, these Yuan Shikang definitely don't understand, and it's useless to say it.

For Liu Yishou, intelligence and timeliness are the top priorities in using troops, and other factors are all based on this.Leaving aside other strategies, it is definitely a psychological misunderstanding that Yuan Shikang used so many soldiers and horses around him.

"My lord, the front is Beiyiyang County. When we arrive at the ferry, we have to disembark. There is no waterway to the west."

Wang Wei walked up to Liu Yishou and cupped his hands and said.

"Well, it's been a smooth journey."

Liu Yishou nodded slightly.

According to his temper, he directly exposed Xiao Yan's edict, and then gathered soldiers and horses from Lianghuai to fight all the way to Jiankang, what a joyful enmity!

However, a little intolerance can lead to a big conspiracy.Taking back Xiao Xie and Xiao Huan is to use their name to do what you want to do.Since you are shouting "respect the king and seek evil" and "put order out of chaos", then don't mess yourself up first.

The superficial work that should be done still needs to be done.

"What's the matter, is there anything else?"

Liu Yishou asked curiously.He found that Wang Wei hadn't left yet.

"My lord, everyone knows what our group of people are thinking. Now we have become the ones to fulfill Xiao Yan's last wish, and to be his loyal ministers and filial sons. Isn't that..."

Wang Wei thought for a long time, but he didn't know what kind of word to use to sum it up.

"Probably a thief, help the poor family to recover the stolen goods."

Liu Yishou smiled helplessly.

Wang Wei clapped his palms and laughed loudly: "That's what I mean by this subordinate. It's too ridiculous to stand up for Xiao Yan, and we, the gang from the north, won't be there."

"The Xiao family has many filial sons, and Jiangnan has many good ministers. Our gang of thieves from outside are still not as good as Jiankang's house thieves."

Liu Yishou smiled slightly, he also didn't expect Xiao Yan to die as soon as he said he would die, without any follow-up arrangements, leaving a mess behind.

This time he dispatched troops with several hundred white-robed old troops, and Liu Yi obeyed his orders to guard Shouyang and deploy troops in a unified manner.The other generals are still guarding the big cities in the counties, and they will not send troops to build Kang, nor will they support Xiao Fan.

Hefei, an important town in the south of Shouyang, was heavily guarded by Webster.Once attacked, it is very likely that Webster's soldiers in Hefei and Jiankang's soldiers will attack both front and back.

Strategically, it will fall into great passiveness.

This round, Xiao Fan is the "leader" who is responsible for getting ahead. If he has the heart, Xiao Lun and Xiao Xu will both have the opportunity to rescue Xiao Fan.After all, Xiao Fan can now be regarded as a "weather vane" for the struggle between the imperial court and the feudal lord.

If Xiao Fan is still alive, then Fangzhen or clan who intend to accept the new court decree, those who are close to Xiao Gang will also have scruples.And once Xiao Fan died, countless fools would soon fall to Xiao Gang's side.

Liu Yishou, who holds heavy troops in his hands and sits in the two Huaihe Rivers, just needs to watch them fight in full swing.This is what Liu Yishou told Yu Jin before setting off, prepare your troops, wait for the opportunity, and don't rush forward.

In Xuyi to the east, Liu Yishou had already ordered Yu Wentai to "persuade" Xuyi prefect Hua Jiao to recruit troops in Xuyi to prepare for battle.If Xiao Lun is defeated, Xiao Gang will definitely send troops to pursue him, and then Xuyi will probably have a fierce battle.

Liu Yishou's mind was full of these calculations at the moment, and he only felt the veins around his temples bursting out.

"We haven't fully developed in Shouyang. According to my idea, we will stay dormant for at least two more years, and we will talk about this kind of gold and iron horse after we have enough soldiers and food.

However, time waits for no one, Xiao Yan passed away suddenly, and the chaos in the south has begun. Whether we want to or not, we will participate in it, and we will never die.

You will definitely encounter quite a lot of difficulties, but there may be opportunities in danger, it depends on whether you can grasp it. "

Liu Yishou looked at the slowly flowing Huaihe River, shook his head helplessly and sighed.

"My lord, don't forget Gao Huan."

Wang Wei reminded calmly.

"I don't know this. Gao Huan led troops from Qingxu, and Xiao Gang ordered people to attack the Shouyang line from south to north. We will be defeated by the enemy.

So before Gao Huan turned his gaze to the south, he must occupy Jiankang.Then leave Jiankang to Xiao Xi and the others, let them recruit soldiers and buy horses, and be responsible for their own safety.

We still occupy the Huaihe River and Huaihe River, and develop towards Henan and Jingxiang.While annihilating the resistance forces in Jiangzhou and Jingxiang, at the same time bringing the newly occupied areas under the rule, rejecting Xiao Xi's assignment.

In this way, you can expand your territory and develop yourself substantially.We don't take the initiative to provoke Xiao Lun, Xiao Xu, and Xiao Yi, but we will beat anyone who shows up and break their backbone! "

Liu Yishou's words made Wang Weimao suddenly enlightened.He originally thought that his lord would be so powerful after obtaining Xiao Yan's so-called "legacy", but he didn't expect the other party to be so cautious, even a little too cautious!

"Since my lord has figured it all out, it is true that I am worrying too much."

Wang Wei bowed his hands to Liu Yishou.

Not long after, the fleet docked at Muhua City (now not far northwest of Xinyang) in North Yiyang County. Cao Jiao came to meet Liu Yishou with his own soldiers. The group entered Muhua City, prepared to replenish supplies, and continued westward to Xiangyang.

This place is not far from Xiangyang.

……

In the lobby of the government office in Guangling City (Yangzhou), Xiao Lun in military uniform walked back and forth like ants on a hot pot.Next to him was a young military general who was also fully armed, looking at his nose and his heart like an old monk in meditation, and he didn't say a word for a long time.

This person's name is Wei Zai, and like Wei Can, he is also the grandson of Wei Rui, a famous Nanliang general nicknamed "Wei Tiger".However, his father was Wei Zheng of the Second Household.

As the saying goes, a dynasty of flowing water, a family of iron.Webster also placed multiple bets, but unexpectedly, they encountered a situation where their own family was against their own family.

Xiao Gang ordered Wei Can to station troops at Jingkou, and the border of Guangling was on the other side of the river.And Wei Zai is the "Ge Shuai" in Xiao Lun's house, so he has nothing to do.However, now that Xiao Lun refused to accept Xiao Gang's ascension to the throne, the commander-in-chief was suddenly promoted to the "Great Governor", and as expected, he confronted his cousin Wei Can's soldiers and horses, and was about to fight in the same room.

"Your Highness, Guangling City is too close to Jiankang. Once Xiao Gang sends troops, he will be able to arrive soon. It's fine if he can win, but if he can't win, the army will not be able to move around, which is very disadvantageous strategically.

How about guarding Guangling at the lower level, and His Highness taking some troops and horses to withdraw to Hailing County (now Taizhou, Haian, Rugao, Taixing, Jiangyan, etc.), and raising troops and horses in Hailing as backup, how about? "

Wei Zai put forward a very feasible suggestion.

Fu Qi, who was silent at the side, agreed very much, and echoed: "The assassination of the emperor is so strange, Xiao Gang still shirks that Liu Yishou did the assassination. I can guarantee that Liu Yishou is arrogant, but he does have the desire to rebel. But he would not use such a stupid way to assassinate the emperor.

For Xiao Gang who disregarded human relations and committed such a rebellious and immoral thing, it will only be a matter of time before he will be defeated.But even if he fails in the end, it's not just a day or two.Your Highness, why don't you go to Hailing County to accumulate strength, and it's not too late to send out troops after the arrival of soldiers from all walks of life. "

The words of the two subordinates temporarily calmed down Xiao Lun, who was in a hurry to go to the doctor and was about to go all out.

In the end, he sighed helplessly, and had to admit that it was right to avoid the edge temporarily.Nowadays, all the people who oppose Xiao Gang are the closest, and they are almost close to Jingkou.Once there is a fight, it is self-evident who will be the most unlucky.

"It has to be like this." Xiao Lun sighed, feeling extremely unwilling.

Chapter 383 The artifact is too heavy to hold

Xiangyang City has a long history and a long history.Since its establishment, it has been an absolute important town in the upper reaches of the Han River, not one of them.It is backed by mountains in the southwest, and surrounded by water on three sides in the other three directions. The Han River and the moat drawn from it surround Xiangyang City on all sides. The average width of the river is more than 100 meters.

This is not a city that can be conquered by brute force!

In the beginning, in order to make up for the loss of the descendants of Xiao Tong's loss of the crown prince, Xiao Yan sealed Xiao Huan in Jiangling, while Xiao Xi was sealed in Xiangyang.It seems that bringing the two brothers close together can support each other, but it does not mean that they can check and balance each other.

The closer they are, the more conflicts there will be.Although Jiangling and Xiangyang are both big cities, because they are close to each other, as long as the power develops a little, they will be connected together.Although they are brothers, blood brothers have to settle accounts clearly. When the two join forces, it is another question of who will be the master and who will be the second.

Not only that, south of Jiangling is Baling County (Yueyang), the entrance of Xiangzhou, and it is also the entrance of Dongting Lake.Xiao Yi took Dongting Lake as his base and Xiangzhou City (Changsha) as his old home. He recruited a large number of soldiers and was extremely powerful.

Xiao Huan and Xiao Xi are pressing Xiao Yi's "cap", if they want to rush out of Jingxiang, they must go to Baling County.But if you go eastward along the Yangtze River, you must go to Yingzhou (Wuchang), which will completely expose your back to Xiao Huan who is stationed in Jiangling.

However, Jiangling is easy to attack and difficult to defend, and cannot protect itself. It must rely on reinforcements from Xiangyang to maintain a strategic confrontation with Xiao Yi.

It has to be said that Xiao Yan's arrangement can be regarded as a masterpiece of a veteran driver who manipulates scheming.

However, this year's New Year, the old driver missed in the underworld and was assassinated in Jiankang Xianyang Palace.Those who have to be lamented to be drowned are usually those who know how to water.

Looking at the majestic Xiangyang City in front of him, Liu Yishou thought of many things, and he also had a clearer understanding of why Xiao Yi wanted to "take risks with his troops".

Xiao Yi is full of good cards, but there is a problem. He can't go to the poker table, he is too far away, and he has no excuse to lead his troops to leave Xiangzhou.Once Xiao Yan died, the game started again, and the players in the game had to be officially in place.
