Governor please stay

Duan Shao tore off the seal on the small wooden box, and inside lay a golden hairpin that looked very inferior in workmanship. The style was very similar to that used by concubines in the Northern Wei court. Now many years have passed, and this style is no longer popular in Yecheng. .

Many fashionable and well-made hairpins have been handed down from Jiankang, and they are very popular among women in Yecheng, so this old and old style is very conspicuous: after all, it is not easy to buy now.

Duan Shao believes that this thing is the token that Liu Yishou gave Duan Rong when he was "engaged".Of course, people are shameless and invincible.Liu Yishou can also say that this is directed and acted by your Duan family.

Anyway, this matter is actually very casual.

Keep this hairpin to find a way out, or destroy it, or throw it away, give up thinking about it?

Duan Shao knew that as long as he kept things, he would always think about retreating.

"That's all."

Duan Shao shook his head, and put the wooden box with the golden hairpin close to his body.

After this incident, he seems to have a deeper understanding of loyalty and betrayal.

Father Duan Rong and Gao Huan are brother-in-law, have worked together for many years, and have a strong bond of interest.But Duan Rong has been trying every means to prepare for a retreat, even at that time, this kind of thing seemed like a complete joke!

Duan Rong is known as Gao Huan's loyal, hard-working master.But even for such a person, he left a way out for himself and his family.

Eight years ago!Duan Shao felt terrible just thinking about it!The human heart is as deep as the ocean!

Logically speaking, Duan Anning is actually qualified to read this letter.But Duan Shao was frightened by his father Pi Liyang Qiu's demeanor, and only then did he understand how terrible it is to lose his life if he doesn't keep secrets!

Duan Rong said in the letter, "Burn it after reading it, don't tell your family."

"King Gao, don't let yourself down. I, Duan, don't want to be a rebel."

Duan Shao said to himself with a wry smile.

To be honest, Gao Huan thinks highly of him, and Liu Yishou is his sworn enemy who has fought many times.If possible, he really didn't want to use the "secret weapon" left by Duan Rong.

……

"Where Master Wang has passed, he wins food and follows him. The people in Henan all come out of Guo to greet each other, and they can see more than ten miles away. They are even more worried about the retaliation of the Wei army, and the whole family moves south to Jingxiang, Jianghuai and other places..."

In the study, Liu Yishou glanced at the "Summary of the Northern Expedition in the Third Year of Jianwen" written by Yang Xiuzhi, and the expression on his face could not be stretched anymore.

"My lord, do you think there is anything else that needs to be modified?"

Yang Xiu asked expectantly.

Liu Yishou sighed softly, took out a piece of paper from under the paperweight on the table, and handed it to Yang Xiuzhi.

With just one glance, the smile on Yang Xiuzhi's face disappeared immediately, and soon became as black as the bottom of a pot!

It was a letter written by Yang Min to Liu Yishou to report on the resettlement of the "disaster victims".It is said that Liang Jun robbed people everywhere in Henan and resettled them south, so that people's resentment boiled.

The conflicts between the refugees and the original residents in the resettlement areas continued, and they went their own way.In short, there were no big things, but small things kept going. Yang Min, who resettled the refugees, didn't have a good night's sleep, and felt more tired than going out with the army.

This is completely different from what Yang Xiuzhi wrote to whitewash Taiping.It is clear at a glance who is true and who is false.

However, Fatty Yang is indeed good at government affairs, and the resettlement of refugees in the later period was still properly handled.

After all, Liu Yishou and others had made sufficient preparations, and besides, Liang Guo's society is relatively stable and there is no war.After a short period of chaos, those victims were resettled and planted cotton on a large scale, or worked in workshops.

Those newly opened textile and papermaking workshops are operating at full capacity.The government then organized the refugees to build their own houses, dig ponds, and reclaim new fields, so that social order could return to normal.

Liu Yishou's Northern Expedition brought sufficient human resources to the south and provided the necessary conditions for large-scale reclamation of wasteland in the south of the Yangtze River.

From the reading between the lines, it can be seen that Yang Min still agrees with Liu Yishou's action of plundering the population to enrich Lianghuai, Jingxiang and other places.

There are also some shabby things about buying and selling people. Following the strategy of turning a blind eye and turning a blind eye that Liu Yishou said before, Yang Min didn't pursue it too much. He just recorded all the relevant incidents one by one and handed them over to Cui Xian. .

Thanks to the large number of ships used to transport the refugees, and the resettlement areas were assigned in advance, finally the tasks that Liu Yishou confessed were almost completed.

Now the layout that Liu Yishou conceived before the Northern Expedition has basically been completed.

Nanyingchuan County and Runan County were almost completely under military control, and ordinary people, including local big families, were all relocated to Jingxiang.Duguxin set up defenses in Nanyingchuan County, Zhao Gui set up defenses in Runan County, and Yu Jin had already led his elite troops to the vicinity of Changshe City.

In other words, as long as Liu Yishou feels that something is wrong, he can immediately retreat to the south and just fight and leave.

In the later period, we will slowly grind with Wei Guo, maintain the scale of the battle within [-] people, and then retreat to Nanyingchuan County little by little.Because the population size of Henan has been greatly changed, the Wei army going south to fight is tantamount to fighting on the outside line, and cannot get nearby supplies.

So at that time, in Nanyingchuan County and other places east of Nanyang, Liang Jun's supply line will be far shorter than that of Wei Jun, and it is not certain who will bully who by then!

"Forget it, you can write whatever you want for publicity."

Liu Yishou waved his hand indifferently and said.

As a propaganda mouth, you know everything you know, so don't be too harsh.

"My lord, the high officials sent people to ask us for help, and asked us to divide up our troops and station them in Beizhong City. Are you really ignoring them?"

Yang Xiuzhi asked curiously.

He just received the so-called "envoy" today, and that person acted as if he was bossy, and ordered Liu Yishou to lead troops to garrison Beizhong City to guard against Wei State's surprise attack.

"Has anyone gone?"

Liu Yishou asked with a smile, as if he didn't take these things to heart.

"No, I'm still resting in the posthouse."

"Tell them directly that this king believes in their abilities. The new army they formed will definitely have no problem defending Heyang Pass. Let them be more confident."

After finishing speaking, Liu Yishou lay down on the couch in the study, and began to close his eyes to rest his mind.

Chapter 509

In the signing room of the city tower in Yecheng, Gao Huan, who had just inspected the tower, heard the description of his brother-in-law Lou Zhao who hurried back, and was a little undecided for a while.

"Brother-in-law, that's the way it is anyway. It's up to you to decide what to do. I don't have any ideas."

Lou Zhao said lazily, turned around and was about to leave.

"Don't go yet, I still have arrangements."

Gao Huan waved to Lou Zhao, beckoning him to come over.

"Brother-in-law, you don't need me to lead the troops to raid Beizhong City, do you?"

Lou Zhao is very aware of his strengths, so don't take the lead if you don't have the skills. It's a small thing to be beaten into a dog's head, but it's bad to lose your life.

"Duan Shao really doesn't want to take soldiers there?"

Gao Huan asked with some dissatisfaction.

He doesn't like his subordinates to have too many ideas of their own, especially disobedience.Duan Shao is famous for having his own ideas, and sometimes even doesn't give Gao Huan face.

"Duan Xiaoxian's thinking is fine. The Liang army at Baimadu is really strong. You see, I've been stabbed in the arm and I'm still not ready."

Lou Zhao pointed to his injured arm and said.

Gao Huan nodded noncommittally, it was true that Liang Jun was vigorous and fierce, and it was true that Lou Zhao was martial and hip-stretching.

"Modolou's words are very reasonable. Beizhong City is empty, and the scouts have indeed come to report. I already knew in advance. In fact, I have recently been considering whether to send troops from the west to surprise Luoyang, and draw the bottom of the pot. If you say that, see It’s really about taking action.”

Gao Huan said in a deep voice, obviously agreeing with Modolo's idea.

This is actually not surprising. Everyone knows that the reason why the famous white-robed army retreated in embarrassment last time was because Luoyang was accidentally lost and had to withdraw.

Now that there are previous examples, re-enacting previous battles is a way with a high chance of winning.Gao Huan has no reason not to use this trick.

From this perspective, Gao Huan is still very talented and thoughtful in military strategy.Of course, the level of command in battle is another concept.

"How about this, you and...well, Xue Guyan, Han Gui and the others will lead [-] soldiers, go to Fangtou first, join Modolou Daiwen, gather [-] soldiers and horses, and then march directly west to Beizhong City.

Since Duan Shao doesn't want to go to Luoyang, let him continue to guard Fangtou City to prevent the Liang army from attacking. "

Gao Huan thought for a while and said.

"Well, that's fine."

Lou Zhao nodded, and was about to leave when he suddenly felt something was wrong.

"Brother-in-law, do I want to go too? I won't go, right? It's useless for me to go."

Lou Zhao said with a bitter face, clasped his hands together, and looked like begging, Gao Huan was very angry and funny.

Finding that Gao Huan was also hesitating, Lou Zhao continued to whisper: "Brother-in-law, the surprise attack on Beizhong City can be regarded as an all-out attack. How can brother-in-law not lead the troops himself? Even if I go, I can't suppress those arrogant soldiers. "

Lou Zhao, who is talking a lot of nonsense, is finally a fool who thinks a lot, and he gets something.

With so many soldiers and horses belonging to different divisions, if there is no strong and prestigious commander in chief, it is good to say that the battle will be smooth, but once the battle goes bad, it will easily delay major events.

If there is a disagreement among the generals, who should they listen to? When the time comes, there will be a lot of quarrels, and if there is no result, what should we do?

These questions are not for fun.

"That's fine, you just stay in Yecheng."

Gao Huan sighed, Liu Yishou is really a life-threatening guy, he never stops.But this time Liang Jun's offensive was just like that. When Luoyang was regained, Liang Jun left behind a chicken feather and withdrew, and the old story repeated itself.

For some reason, Gao Huan felt that this scene was a bit like Huang Mao took advantage of her husband's absence, played with the wife who stayed at home, and then walked away, waiting for her husband to clean up the mess when he came home.

A large number of household registrations in Henan were robbed. When will such wounds recover?

Gao Huan was in a trance for a while, as if he had returned to the years before Emperor Xiaowen moved south, the era when the Tuoba clan opened up wasteland in the Northern Wei Dynasty.

"Go ahead, I'm still busy."

Gao Huan waved his hand impatiently.

He was extremely irritable in his heart, and he couldn't tell what was wrong.That kind of feeling is like the aggrieved feeling of being surrounded by a bunch of mosquitoes in summer, and you can't bear it, and you can't beat it.

A day later, Gao Huan quickly summoned all the remaining elite soldiers in and around Yecheng to go south to Fangtou. These troops were originally used by Gao Huan to fight the Liang army in Hebei.Pulling it all out in one breath is not without courage.

Knowing Gao Huan's arrival, Mo Duolou was overjoyed. Gao Huan swore an oath as a teacher in Fangtou City. He personally led [-] main forces to march westward to Beizhong City, and left Duan Shao's troops to guard Fangtou to guard against the Liang army's sneak attack.

Gao Huan also criticized Duan Shao in public for his conservative use of troops, and he did not know how to make progress. The aggressive general hinted that he could go west with the army.But Duan Shao was unmoved and insisted on staying at Fangtou, Gao Huan was helpless.

After all, the Liang army at Baimadu was extremely ferocious, and Liu Yishou personally led the army. None of the generals under his command was willing to end this hard job.Since Duan Shao insists on staying in Fangtou, it is better to let him seek benevolence and obtain benevolence.

……

"Report! General Wei captured Zhiguan, and the road from Jinzhou to Luoyang has been blocked!"

At the head of the city of Xin'an (east of Sanmenxia), not far to the west of the old Hangu Pass, He Bayue, who led the army on the expedition, finally heard the news he wanted to hear most from the messenger!

Since the last big victory in the battle of Yubi, the grass family in Hedong have abandoned Gao Huan and thrown them into their arms without looking back.

Donated a lot of food and grass.

If it weren't for this batch of food and grass, they would have starved to death last winter!

Now, I heard that Liang Jun attacked Wei, and Gao Huan was helpless to fight, leaving Luoyang's troops extremely empty.The people in Guanzhong suffered from hunger on a large scale, and even the army food was about to be cut off.

Such a predicament made He Bayue make up his mind to attack with the whole army and go to Luoyang to do something big!

As soon as this proposal came out, all the officials and generals under his command cheered happily, and there was no voice of opposition.Sending troops is not a problem, the problem is how to use them!

He Bayue is trapped in the pass, even if he has managed the east of the river now, he still lacks tentacles and bridgeheads to fight for hegemony in the central plains.Years of severe drought in Guanzhong is really miserable.

You can't go to Bashu in the south, and you can't go out of Tongguan in the east. The hardships during the period can only be said to be known to those who touch it.Back then, the Qin State only started to point out where to fight after winning the Sanchuan County.

He Bayue in Bashu has nothing to do for the time being, but now that Luoyang's fat meat is in front of him, He Bayue and his friends will not give up.

After a heated discussion, the strategy of dispatching troops was finally decided.

Luoyang is known as the Small Fortress, with Tongguan on the west and a road leading to Hei, and Mang Mountain on the north. Only Beizhongcheng and Heyangguan in the northwest can cross the river to Hebei.

To the northwest of Beizhongcheng is Zhiguan, which is connected to Jinzhou. Gao Huan's soldiers and horses can be reinforced through Jinzhou.To the east of Beizhong City is Hanoi, which is under the strict control of Gao Huan's forces.The soldiers and horses gathered at Fangtou can go directly westward along the Yellow River to Hanoi.

This direction will be the main direction for Gao Huan's army to reinforce.

To the east of Luoyang is Hulao Pass, which Liu Yishou has given up to the Yuan Wei army to garrison it, which is useless.

Therefore, the top priority of this troop dispatch is the control of Beizhong City and Heyang Pass.When the soldiers and horses on the way out of Zhiguan control Beizhong City, He Bayue can lead the main force of the army to attack Luoyang from Tongguan.

In fact, He Bayue has now led his troops out of Tongguan, and came to Xin'an City to pay close attention to the situation in Luoyang, just waiting for news from Zhiguan.

"Ayue, you can do it now."

The burly He Basheng cupped his hands and said to He Bayue.Looking to the east, the two seemed to see the city wall of Luoyang City.

"This time I put all my eggs in one basket, and I feel uneasy."

He Bayue sighed, feeling unspeakably anxious.

"What's there to worry about?"

He Basheng asked suspiciously.Now the soldiers in Guanzhong are almost out in force, there is no possibility of losing!Both the morale and morale of the army are extremely high, and the top and bottom of the army are going crazy with hunger!

"The scouts came to report that Liu Yi was stationed at Xingyang and Baimadu. His intentions were unclear, and he seemed to be planning to attack Hebei. How can such a man be taken lightly?"
