Governor please stay

I am indeed a good person!

Thinking that although I am not too dependent on Xiao's authority now, I still love Xiao Yuheng very much.Liu Yishou suddenly felt that his image had become taller.

"It's so sad that a majestic vassal king died at the hands of his sons and heirs. After returning to Poyang County, sew up Xiao Lun's body, and then bury him with the ceremonies of a vassal king."

Liu Yishou sighed and said to Yang Xiuzhi.

"But my lord, there is no longer any excuse for Yu Xiaoqing and Huang Fajiu to use troops."

Yang Xiu asked doubtfully.

The original plan was to force Xiao Lun to leave Poyang County, either to lead troops to attack Pancheng, or to return to Yuzhang.With Xiao Lun's character and ability, the latter possibility is extremely high.

When the time comes, Liu Yishou will send Hu Sengyou to lead [-] elite troops to hide in the swamp area and ambush them. It can be decided in one battle!

But sometimes, things don't develop as expected, and uncontrollable emergencies often greatly change the situation you encounter.

For example, this time, no one would have expected that Xiao Lun would die in such a useless manner.

"It's true that Xiao Jian sent Xiao Lun's head, but... did I say that Xiao Jian and the others are innocent? Did I say that I would let them go?"

Liu Yishou asked with a sneer.

Sure enough, I knew that things would not be that simple!Yang Xiuzhi stopped talking.

"Killing one's father and seeking glory is unfilial! If such people can be pardoned, wouldn't it encourage everyone to kill their fathers and mothers in exchange for fame and fortune? Today, you can kill your father just to keep alive. Wouldn't this king be better than you?" Is Xiao Lun better for him?

How do you know that Xiao Jian and others will not betray the king in the future? "

Liu Yishou asked Yang Xiu a question that he couldn't answer with a solemn face.

A lot of things are not worth mentioning on the surface, Xiao Jian and others are just a few maggots wriggling on the ground, trampled to death and still feel dirty, leaving them alone will not make any waves.

But if Liu Yishou mishandled it, it would send many unfavorable signals to others.Let those people fantasize about breaking the rules and use all means to seek interests that do not belong to them.

This is one of the broad and profound concepts in traditional Chinese culture: reverse and obey.

The instigator has no descendants. If you do it yourself, don't blame future generations for imitating it.So those things that break the existing rules, if you can not do it, try not to do it!

This iron law makes you have to think about the consequences of things before doing something. The "obedience and obedience" and "no blame" mentioned in the "Book of Changes" and other theories are talking about similar things.

When you are in a good situation, you must "follow the rules and follow the rules", follow the rules, use the rules to seek benefits, maintain the rules that are beneficial to you, and don't deliberately break the existing rules. In layman's terms, let nature take its course.

And purposeless mavericks are sometimes just suicidal alternatives.

But when you have no strength, under the rules that are not conducive to you, you have to act without taboos, try to change the rules, and occupy a more favorable position.

Then start remaking the rules in your own favor, and get others to follow the rules you made.

This is the so-called: Reversal and obedience.

Rebellion will lead to disaster, and it is those deviant things that have to be done under special circumstances.Often have severe side effects.

Things like this don't need to be done all the time.

For example, if you want to equalize the land for self-cultivators, you cannot continue to equalize the same individual. Once the policy is formulated, it must be stabilized and cannot be changed overnight!

In order to get back on track, you have to be "no blame"!No blame means taking responsibility for what you did wrong, having no regrets and no more mistakes.

For Fentian, it is to offend the powerful, suffer the backlash of the rich and powerful, bear the consequences of the backlash, and do a good job in the aftermath.In a nutshell, the revolution is not afraid of bloodshed.

If it is not necessary, don't continue to take the opposite. After you have the advantage, you must formulate rules and let everyone obey the rules.

Otherwise, the continuous "reversal" will eventually lead to self-destruction.

Countless vigorous peasant uprisings in history were all self-defeating because of continuous rebellion, not knowing how to follow the rules, and re-enacting new rules.The root cause of Ge Rong's downfall was that he had been "reversing" all the time, but he didn't understand the way of "no blame" and "obedience".

The reason why Liu Yishou didn't want to kill Xiao's clan members himself was because he was worried that Xiao Yujin's children would raise the butcher's knife against him in the future.

There is no reason why the son cannot do what the father can do.

If such a thing is really unavoidable, Liu Yishou feels that at least he shouldn't make such a bad start when he has the ability to avoid it.

If the members of the Xiao clan were killed by others, then they committed suicide and had nothing to do with Liu.

Liu Yishou has already passed the disadvantaged stage of "adversary and obedience". When he was in Luoyang, he was in the "adversary" stage and acted without any scruples, even if Er Zhurong was the dog's head of the army.

Now that we are in the dominant stage of "obedience and obedience", there is no need to do things that have a bad impact.This is the same reason that Gao Huan began to cherish the feathers in Yecheng when he humiliated the Empress Dowager Hu in Luoyang.

Liu Yishou could tell the difference between good and evil.

"Then what does my lord mean...you want to punish Xiao Jian and the others, as a warning to others?"

Yang Xiuzhi frowned and asked.Although doing so is righteous, it seems to be quite detrimental to persuading hostile forces to surrender in the future!

"Don't be so rigid."

Liu Yishou waved his hand and said.

"Just tell Yu Xiaoqing and Huang Fajiu that Xiao Jian feigned surrender and plotted against the law. Please deal with it a little bit. No merit will not be rewarded. They have not accomplished an inch of merit. How can I ask the court to give them an official position?"

Liu Yishou chuckled, Yang Xiu understood what he had said, he had spoken clearly.

The local tyrants in Jiangzhou really can't see Xiao Jian and others killing their father for glory, and want to seek justice for Xiao Lun.

This has nothing to do with the pillar who has been carefully guarding Liang Guo!

Public anger is hard to offend. It's not that Liu Yishou doesn't want to save Xiao Jian and others, but that the current situation is unclear, and those local tycoons in Jiangzhou acted too quickly. What can they do?

Tsk tsk tsk, Yang Xiu sighed with emotion.

Xiao Jian shirks responsibility in the letter and says everything is Xiao Lun's fault.

Liu Yishou also shirked responsibility and said he didn't want to kill Xiao Jian and others.

The same purpose, but different means, is this the difference between a fool and a hero?

"This subordinate is going to deliver the order." Yang Xiuzhi was about to leave after saluting.

Liu Yishou hurriedly stopped him and said, "Well, just be careful, let Yu Xiaoqing go to fight Yuzhang City, let Huang Faju go to fight Poyang County, don't make a mistake in the order."

"Is there a problem with the order?"

Yang Xiuzhi had no idea what Liu Yishou was thinking.

"I promised Huang Fajiu that he would serve as the prefect of Yuzhang County in the future, but if he occupies Yuzhang County now, he may be ashamed and beg me to award him the prefect of Yuzhang County right now.

If I disagree at that time, he may tear his face apart.Anyway, already occupying Yuzhang County, Huang Fajiu is not afraid of losing his face at all.Every extra inch of land is earned.

And Yu Xiaoqing's future residence will be the ancient city of Qingxi, which is very close to Huang Fajiu's hometown.If Yu Xiaoqing refused to leave Yuzhang County to go to Qingxi Ancient City, he would have lost control over Huang Fajiu.

Huang Fajiu just found an excuse to start a war against Yu Xiaoqing, and then asked for my support.

This arrangement is to let them check and balance each other, and they can't act rashly with each other. They must obediently give up Yuzhang County and let the soldiers and horses of the imperial court settle in.So don't say the wrong thing in this order. "

"Understand, understand, this subordinate will pass the order."

He is an old brother who came from the north with Liu Yishou, and now he has finally realized the beauty of "serving the emperor to beg for disobedience".

This trick Liu Yishou really knows how to play on horseback, so that lotus flowers bloom on the dead trees!

For a while, Yang Xiu was overwhelmed and admired Liu Yishou very much.

……

The accidental death of Xiao Lun really stunned the local nobles in Jiangzhou.But soon Liu Yishou's military order was conveyed to Yu Xiaoqing and Huang Fajiu's army.

Yu Xiaoqing naturally had no idea, his army itself was relatively close to Yuzhang County, and its old nest was not far away, so he left the station after receiving the order, and the army set off for Yuzhang City!

After Huang Fajiu received the military order, he felt very unhappy.

Why, because Liu Yishou promised him to be the prefect of Yuzhang County in the future!As a result, his army was in place, but he had to go elsewhere to fight Poyang County!It would be strange if I felt comfortable.

But Huang Fajiu had no choice, because Yang Xiuzhi told him: Wu Wang was very dissatisfied with his "big nephews" who killed their fathers, and thought they were worse than animals.

So you just take advantage of the chaos and shoot them to death. The King of Wu only needs the head and no one left alive.

After the matter is completed, you will be the confidant of King Wu.If you don't do it, all the previous promises will be void, and you can just pull the army back to Xinjian County, and the rest of the matter has nothing to do with you.

For this sake, can Huang Fajiu still withdraw?

If Yu Xiaoqing came to Qingxi ancient city to be the eunuch, what would happen to the Huang family who has no official position in the imperial court? The picture is so beautiful that Huang Fajiu can't even imagine it!

Liu Yishou is a strategist who takes one step at a time and sees ten steps at a time. Every deployment has a deep meaning.Huang Fajiu has now developed a deep awe of this person, and dare not play any tricks.

After Yang Xiuzhi sent the two military orders separately, he returned to Pencheng.

Yu Xiaoqing's hometown Xinwu County is very close to Yuzhang, and he is also very familiar with the terrain here.Xiao Lun had already brought the main force of the army to Poyang County, so when Yu Xiaoqing attacked Yuzhang City, he hardly encountered any decent resistance.

After the army broke through the city, Yu Xiaoqing did not dare to send troops to plunder Yuzhang City.

But he is not a good bird, Yu Xiaoqing dare not offend the powerful Liu Yishou, but he is willing to create some troubles for Huang Fajiu, making him feel uncomfortable in Yuzhang City!

After Yu Xiaoqing looted all the documents, seals, and household registration books in Yuzhang's government office, he set fire to the government office.Because he was afraid that Liu Yishou would be held accountable, he quickly sent his younger brother Yu Xiaoyou, carrying many gifts and money, to Pencheng to explain to Liu Yishou face to face.

It can't be truer to say that the mansion was set on fire by Xiao Lun's rebels, and they did nothing to the people after they entered the city!

Liu Yishou knew clearly that there was something tricky about it, but he comforted Yu Xiaoqing by saying that he could just quit Yuzhang County and return to Xinwu County to wait for the next military order.

This wave of military exploits is far from enough to be a prefect, so Yu Xiaoqing didn't think too much, and left Yuzhang City with the account books and other things he had snatched.

Compared with Yu Xiaoqing's smooth success, when Huang Fajiu led his troops to attack Poyang County, he encountered a bitter battle.

Xiao Que, Xiao Jian's younger brother, was extremely brave.Because these people were still waiting for the pardon order from Liu Yishou, and after being suddenly attacked by Huang Fajiu, they resisted desperately.

They comforted the soldiers by saying that they had sent people to Jiancheng to seek help from Liu Yishou. As the son-in-law of the clan, Liu Yishou, the current king of Wu, would never sit back and watch the clan's children who had surrendered to be slaughtered by the local tycoons in Jiangzhou.

As a result, the morale of Xiao Jian's soldiers was greatly boosted, and each of them defended the city bravely.

Huang Fajiu's trilogy hasn't experienced a big war for a long time, and usually they just deal with the friction between the powerful chieftains, such as the competition for water sources, and the scale is generally small.

After encountering fierce resistance, Huang Fajiu not only failed to conquer the low-lying Poyang County, but he himself was shot by an arrow. After being injured, he had to withdraw from Poyang County for dozens of miles and camped on the shore of Poyang Lake to recuperate.

After the siege of Poyang County was lifted, Xiao Jian immediately sent people to Pengcheng to ask Liu Yishou for help, but Huang Fajiu, who felt deeply that the siege would be ineffective and powerless, also sent people to Pengcheng to plead guilty to Liu Yishou and discuss countermeasures.

The balls from the two sides coincidentally went to Liu Yishou's side, making Yang Xiuzhi, who received the envoys from both sides, dumbfounded.

"My lord, what should I do now?"

Yang Xiuzhi asked Liu Yishou who was looking at the map.

Chapter 547: Those with deep cravings have shallow secrets

Liu Yishou's "good judgment" is not only well known to his subordinates and generals, but even his enemies have heard about it.The quick and decisive decision-making at the moment is incomparable to ordinary people, and there are no similar figures in this era.

If you really want to find a reference, it may be somewhat similar to Chai Rong at the end of the Five Dynasties in history.

After receiving the ball kicked by Xiao Jian and Huang Fajiu, Liu Yishou replied almost without thinking.

Liu Yishou sent Yang Xiuzhi to Poyang County to tell Xiao Jian and others what he meant: the chieftains of Jiangzhou have been "enlisted" by the imperial court, and I will try my best to appease these people.You can rest assured that you can stay in Poyang County, Huang Fajiu will retreat.

As for Huang Fajiu's side, Liu Yishou sent a sergeant who couldn't lobby to his camp, and then told Huang Fajiu: If Poyang County can be captured, you can take it yourself.If you can't fight, I will ask Yu Xiaoqing to help you, but the military merit will be counted separately.Success or failure depends on your own ability, I don't care.

After receiving Liu Yishou's reply, Huang Fajiu immediately led his troops to Poyang County and organized troops to besiege the city again.Then he sent someone to send a letter back to Bashan County, asking his father Huang Ting to lead troops to reinforce him, bring everything he can bring, and put the whole army on top!

Liu Yishou handles Jiangzhou's affairs with ease, and even has spare energy.He used a lot of free time to read Han Feizi's related works in the study of the Pancheng government office.

Such as "Lonely Anger", "Five Beetles", "Shuo Lin", "Shuo Dian" and so on, I have watched it dozens of times, and I have a lot of insights, and my life is very fulfilling.

However, Yang Xiuzhi found that although Liu Yishou paid great attention to his studies and read books when he was not dealing with government affairs, his old smile was gone.

Without comparison, there is no identification. Even Gaohuan, who traveled so far in the last Northern Expedition, did not look like he is now, with a sad face on his face from time to time.

It just fell into the night, Liu Yishou put down the scroll in his hand, and was alone in a daze in front of the oil lamp.

Yang Xiuzhi finally couldn't bear it anymore, walked over cautiously and asked in a low voice: "My lord, do you want to see a lady in your family who will go to Jiangzhou, or do you want to find some decent and interesting young ladies in Jiangzhou to warm the bed?"

"Do I look like I'm thinking of a woman?"

Liu Yishou asked inexplicably.

"That's not it."

Yang Xiuzhi will not speak out his true thoughts, in fact, that is what he thinks.

For example, during the last Northern Expedition, there was Gao Huan's daughter-in-law Gao Ling. Her tall and graceful figure made her look interesting when she was doing things in bed.In fact, it did greatly alleviate Liu Yishou's anguish and loneliness when he led the troops out.

"Compared with animals, humans are actually inferior in many aspects. Humans are not as fast as tigers and leopards on land, not as fierce as them, not as comfortable as fish in water, and cannot fly freely in the air like birds.

But why is man the spirit of all things, but not the beast? "

Liu Yishou asked with a soft sigh.

Yang Xiuzhi's skill in flattering horses is good, and his articles are well written, but his knowledge is far inferior to that of Wang Wei and Chen Yuankang.There is no way for him to answer this kind of question.

"Please enlighten me, my lord." Yang Xiuzhi folded his sleeves and bowed deeply.
