Governor please stay

Many people always do this passively, with hindsight.

Those who can take the initiative to do it are all outstanding people.

Compared with the white-robed army who got carried away after entering Luoyang, the current Liu Yishou has undoubtedly learned a lot of lessons. He brags wildly when he should be high-profile, and keeps silent when he should be low-key.

"My lord, we have stabbed Gao Huan severely, how will he deal with it?"

Wang Wei asked thoughtfully.

"Who knows? We can only do our own thing."

Liu Yishou sighed, there will be a lot of fierce battles in the future.You started a war, but it may not end as you wish.Who dares to say that he is always victorious and undefeated?

……

Duan Shao wrote his analysis of the previous battle into a booklet and handed it to Gao Huan, but the other party obviously only read part of it, but not the other part.

In the study today, all the main generals under Gao Huan's command have arrived, and the relaxed-looking people can hardly be seen, all of them look gray and preoccupied.

"This time, our army's three granaries in Fangtou were destroyed. The loss was quite large, which affected the use of troops in the future. Although the enemy has retreated to the south bank of the Yellow River, we have also lost contact with the city on the south bank. Now we can only protect ourselves on the north bank. .”

Duan Shao said to Gao Huan cautiously.

"Can Yecheng still be defended?"

Gao Huan asked hoarsely.

Everyone present looked at each other in blank dismay, never expecting Gao Huan to ask such a question without confidence.

"King Gao, although our army has been newly defeated, Liang's army is too small to cross the Yellow River. King Gao doesn't have to worry about the safety of Ye City."

Sun Teng said anxiously.

Gao Huan waved his hand to signal everyone to be calm.

"How much was Chen Qingzhi's seven thousand white robes back then?"

Gao Huan asked in a deep voice.

This question is difficult to answer, because Chen Qingzhi's 7000 people destroyed the Yuan and Wei Dynasties.Now Gao Huan's strength is not as good as that of Er Zhurong back then!

"King Gao, Liang Jun is now sitting in Xingyang, and it seems that he has no intention of attacking Hebei."

Duan Shao persuaded in a low voice.

"You don't understand, what if the Liang army supports the front line from behind? Is there only Liu Yishou in Liang Guo? You are still thinking too simply."

Gao Huanyu said earnestly.

All the generals fell silent. It seemed that Gao Huan was frightened by Liu Yishou's madness and determination.

"King Gao, the general is willing to take the vanguard to station troops in Anyang and defend the capital. It will not be too late for King Gao to decide on the northward relocation."

Duan Shao stood up and clapped his hands to ask for a fight.

Gao Huan frowned, finally someone understood what he meant.He nodded slightly and said: "Xiaoxian's words are very suitable for me. Then you lead your troops to settle in Anyang, south of Yecheng. Go quickly!"

Chapter 503

The day after Duan Shao led his troops to leave Yecheng for Anyang County, Gao Huan fell ill. The illness was so overwhelming that he was bedridden!

In the past few days, there has been an endless stream of people who have come to visit Gao Huan's condition one after another. Some put down their gifts and left, and some didn't even enter the Bafu.Only a very small number of cronies can go to the bedroom to visit.

Whether Gao Huan is seriously ill, when he will recover, and whether the court should move to Xindu, there are different opinions for a while.Only then did Gao Huan show his true status.

Emperor Yuan Shaozong was ill and no one asked about it, but the prime minister Gao Huan was ill and "the whole country" was shocked. Many unspeakable fig leafs were lifted, and blood dripping was placed in front of the world.Yuan Xiu tossed away the last bit of vitality of the Yuan family, and now Wei Guo has reached the time to change the world.

If Gao Huan hadn't eliminated He Bayue, Er Zhurong and others, I'm afraid he would really be unable to restrain himself from ascending the throne and proclaiming himself emperor.

That night, Sun Teng came to Bafu, entered Gao Huan's study, and had a secret talk with him.Then he saw Gao Huan boxing in the study with great interest, without looking sick at all.

"King Gao, this is... what's going on?"

Sun Teng asked while pretending to be confused.

"There are many doubts in the battle of Fangtou. This king is also uneasy, so he deliberately sold a loophole."

Gao Huan smiled slightly, went to the desk, and asked Sun Teng to sit with him and drink.

"It turns out that Gao Wang said before that he would place the court in Xindu, because he...led the snake out of the hole."

Sun Teng said "suddenly realized".

Gao Huan nodded with a smile, then said solemnly, "If the court moves to Xindu, wouldn't this king really become the king of Hebei? It's unreasonable!"

He patted the table suddenly, and the depression in his heart was hard to dissipate.

After Gao Huan stated that it would be best for the imperial court to relocate to Xindu, many officials in Yecheng actually wrote a letter saying that the Liang army was coming menacingly, and they should avoid its edge and take it slowly.

Memorials like this are now piled up on the desk, how can Gao Huan not be angry?

"King Gao, the Liang army is at the end of its strength and has no strength to cross the Yellow River. But when we launch a counterattack is a troublesome matter. The longer the delay, the worse the situation will be, and the Liang army will increase its troops."

Sun Teng said worriedly.

"Chun Geng... Chun Geng. Without Chun Geng, what would this king have to fight against the menacing Liu Yishou?"

Gao Huan sighed, and didn't know how to explain it, because he understood everything, and if you told him what you didn't understand, you were playing the piano with a cow.

Many things are plots, not based on personal will. Gao Huan just wants to send troops now, and all conditions do not allow it.

More importantly, Hebei is Gao Huan's basic game, while Henan and Qingxu are not.Liu Yishou hit Fangtou, this move caused a fundamental change in the attitude of the Hebei family.

Those people's thoughts now obviously tend to be conservative!The idea of ​​war avoidance is very serious.

Gao Huan made some gestures of moving the capital before, all for the sake of those people from Hebei aristocratic families.This move is actually the same as Liu Yishou patted his chest in front of the new defectors to ensure that this wave will definitely be able to cross the Yellow River and defeat Gao Huan.

If you can show what you can't, if you can't show what you can, there are more routines than friendship.The sentence that the sages said: listen to their words and watch their actions is really a warning to the world.

"Liang Jun's morale is at its peak now, and the Yuan Clan's gang are also frightened and afraid to show their teeth to Liu Yishou. Why don't we take a break first. Xingyang is not a place to guard for a long time, and Liu Yishou will not be proud for long."

Gao Huan saw at a glance what Liang Jun's biggest weakness was this time, and that was his reluctance to bet more money against each other!

The lack of soldiers is Liu Yishou's biggest weakness this time.

If there were hundreds of thousands of Liang Jun's Northern Expedition, I'm afraid that Qingxu and other places in Henan are now full of Liang Jun's siege teams.At that time, you can detour from the east and attack Hebei from Qingxu!

When the front line is stretched, it is a life-and-death struggle between the two countries.Now Liu Yishou obviously has other plans.

What the opponent wants to do, this is the most important thing to figure out before participating in the battle, and the rest are trivial details.Gao Huan is very calm now.

"By the way, what do you think about Li Yuanzhong's matter?"

Gao Huan asked seemingly casually.

"When King Gao entered Hebei, Li Yuanzhong was the first to stand up and propose it. If it is said that he is Liu Yishou's internal support, the subordinates feel that it is really impossible."

Sun Teng said thoughtfully.

"Don't go around the bush and say what's important."

Gao Huan waved his hand and said impatiently.

"Li Yuanzhong may be innocent, but...the subordinates feel that there may be people in Ye City whose thoughts are not with King Gao. It is not known about Liu Yishou."

Sun Teng said pointedly.

"Yeah, I also feel that the defeat in the Fangtou battle is too strange. If Duan Shao hadn't gone in time, I think there would be even bigger troubles. Ah Cheng is frivolous, and he dealt with Yuan Xiu too hastily. His strategy looks flawless, but it is actually full of loopholes!"

Gao Huan said somewhat disappointed.

Gao Cheng forced against Yuan Xiu, it seemed that Yuan Xiu deliberately found fault, but in fact, the reason why Yuan Xiu went crazy was persecuted by Gao Cheng, in other words, it can also be regarded as Gao Huan's instruction.

This makes it ugly to eat.

In fact, it can take ten years to slowly clean up the Yuan clan's clan little by little.After cutting off those branches and leaves, it is not easy to do the thing of abolishing and setting up?

Now it's a done deal, it's too late to say anything, we can only make mistakes and make mistakes.

"The son was in a hurry to do things, but he did what he had to do, and now King Gao doesn't need to blame the son.

Now many people are proposing to move the capital, why not take these people and kill them..."

Sun Teng made a gesture of wiping his neck.

Gao Huan thought for a while, and seemed to be quite moved, but finally resisted the urge to do it.

"Killing him rashly will make it appear that the king cannot tolerate others."

Gao Huan shook his head, and continued: "Instead, it will hide some people who deserve to be killed."

Hearing this, Sun Teng nodded slightly, deeply convinced.

The noisy ones these days are all small shrimps, maybe there is an "expert" behind the scenes to point them out.The person who really deserves to be killed is disguised and hidden very well.

For example, a high-ranking cadre in Luoyang wrote a letter to Gao Huan, saying that he was forced to follow the thief and pretended to be a snake.He was willing to act as an internal response, and kept providing Gao Huan with news from Liang Jun's side.

How much of this is sincere and how much is false?In fact, it is not good to say, and it is not that important.

The key point is that as long as Gao Huan still needs the support of the Hebei family, he can't just do anything to Gao Gan.Senior cadres are also sure of this, so they have nothing to fear.

Gao Huan also wrote back a letter to Gao Gan, with earnest words and warm tone, calling him brother and brother.Anyway, it's just talking about feelings and not politics. As for whether to settle accounts later, there is no guarantee at all.

Ask me if I want to clean you up after Liang Jun is gone, my answer is two words: Guess?

After Gao Huan showed the letter to Sun Teng, Sun Teng almost didn't laugh out loud.

"However, some things are not suitable for Gao Wang to do, but they are very suitable for the son to do."

Sun Teng suggested cautiously.

"Should Ah Cheng go make a fuss?"

Gao Huan raised his chin, hesitant.

"Since you are the son, you must have some authority. King Gao can use picketing methods to ask the son to investigate some suspicious people. It will be fine for King Gao to smooth things over afterwards.

Gao Shen, the younger brother of Gao Gan, was captured last time, and he was released by Liu Yishou. Why not start with this? "

Sun Teng meant something, not hinting, but expressing it.Gao Gan's defection caused a very bad political impact, and the remarks about moving the capital were drawn from this.It's the right time to attack the Gao brothers.

"You ask me to think about it again. The matter is too important to ignore. What's more, the Gao brothers have contributed a lot to this king in the past. Now that they have to be censored, this king can't bear it."

Gao Huan said pretendingly, but in fact his heart was quite moved.

"Don't spread the news of my king's illness, even to Ah Cheng and the others. Tomorrow, tell Ah Cheng to let him investigate the spies. Don't say anything else, just say that I can't get out of bed now."

Usually, sons are more reliable than subordinates, but sometimes, they are far less reliable than subordinates.Gao Huan was not afraid of Gao Cheng's tricks, but he was very afraid that the power behind Lou Zhaojun would act as a monster, so he saved his hand this time and deliberately transferred Duan Shao away from Yecheng.

The attack on Fangtou and the rapid fall of the land of Henan gave Gao Huan a very strong sense of crisis, making him feel that everyone in Yecheng was a spy and had been having an affair with Liu Yishou.

……

It was late at night, and in a small courtyard not far from Bafu in Yecheng, Zhao Yanshen, who was in his study, put a note full of words on the oil lamp and burned it, quietly heaving a sigh of relief.

It was just a coincidence that Gao Yang appreciated him and appointed him as an aide. In fact, he was an idler sent by Liu Yishou to Yecheng.

Gao Huan fled in embarrassment when he was defeated in the Battle of Qingxu, and Sima Ziru was captured.Zhao Yanshen was captured together!Because he was born from a poor family, he was originally doing odd jobs for Sima Ziru writing documents.

He naturally has no loyalty to Gao Huan.

Liu Yishou's guarantee to Zhao Yanshen at the beginning was: nothing will happen in the north, and you will be an official in the north.There is something in the north, you have to obey orders, and you will be an official in the south in the future.

Now the first order he received was to check whether Lan Jing had been captured!

Lan Jing was indeed captured, but it seemed that he might as well have died in battle.Zhao Yanshen let go of the doubts in his heart, and planned to find an opportunity to deliver news to Liu Yishou.

At this moment, someone knocked on his courtyard door, and a familiar voice came.

"Mr. Zhao, the Second Young Master has an invitation, and there is something urgent to go to the Ba Mansion."

It's so late. Is there anything else?

Zhao Yanshen was a little surprised, and then shouted to the door: "I'm going to Bafu, please wait a moment."

He hurriedly changed his clothes, and came to Bafu with Gao Yang's relatives.As soon as he entered the other courtyard where Gao Yang lived, he saw Lan Jing kneeling on the ground, Gao Cheng was holding a stick in his hand, and was looking at Gao Yang with malicious intent.

"Second son..."

Zhao Yanshen nodded to Gao Yang, and the latter signaled him to stay calm and just watch the show.

"A Yang, just now I came to the yard and asked you to play chess with me, but the bastard you accepted was disrespectful to me, and he didn't salute me when he saw me. Tell me, should you chop off his hands? Woolen cloth?"

Gao Cheng looked at Gao Yang with a smile and asked, with a natural tone.

There is nothing unusual about this drama. The wolf finds fault with the sheep drinking water. Just make up a random reason. It doesn't matter what the truth is.Gao Yang didn't see what happened just now, but when he got out of the study and came to the yard, he saw that Lan Jing had been restrained and knelt on the ground.
