Governor please stay

Now the tyrants of Linchuan County have elected Zhou Di and Zhou Fu to lead the army, and they don't intend to let the imperial army pass through Linchuan County.

The subordinates are ineffective, please punish the master. "

Yang Xiuzhi knelt down and pleaded for himself.

"Hey, don't be rude, get up."

Liu Yishou helped Yang Xiuzhi up and let him sit down.

"According to the statement just now, the army under Zhou Zhuangshi mutinied and opposed the government's decree. Is there any problem with this king's understanding?"

Yang Xiu went to persuade Zhou Xu before, wanting Zhou Xu to join Huang Fajiu and others as a pioneer.In this case, both Bashan County and Linchuan County have spokespersons to use.

It is a very effective method to promote Jiangzhou's counter-insurgency and governance by letting the powerful fight against the powerful, and the locals fight the locals.

But what Yang Xiuzhi didn't consider was that it's useless for you to persuade a local, you also need him to be able to control the situation!This Zhou Xu is just the one who can't control the scene!

In terms of reputation, he is not as famous as Zhou Di.The people elected him as the leader, not because he is too powerful, too good at fighting, and he comes from a very high family background.On the contrary, Zhou Xu was born as a commoner, and his ability is average, but he is more talkative and good at appeasing the morale of the army.

The current situation in Jiangzhou is very complicated. If one is not careful, the leader will be decapitated and be liquidated by the court.The minds of those wealthy chieftains in Linchuan County are obviously not simple.

Let Zhou Xu be a polished commander when there is nothing to do, and do what he should do, and push Zhou Xu to the top bag if there is something to do, they still do what they should do.

Grab it with both hands, both hands are very hard.

"How long have I been away from Jiangzhou, many people don't take me seriously!"

Liu Yishou sighed, the local tycoons are afraid of power and not virtuous, if they don't slap them a few times, these people don't know what their surname is, how much they are worth.

When Liu Yishou was in Jiangzhou to clean up Xiao's clan, the powerful chieftains of Linchuan County were afraid of the court's force and recommended Zhou Xu to deal with the court; when Liu Yishou left Jiangzhou, these people were not even willing to give them face up.

There is no other way, the only option is to attack Linchuan County first, and let these local tycoons understand: Your father is back, you disobedient bastard, you will be spanked.

"Don't worry, the court will decide for you. Before this king came, whoever had the final say in Jiangzhou didn't know, but after this king came, Jiangzhou could only have my voice.

Everyone, go back and gather your troops, the king will send troops to suppress the rebellion immediately.Yang Xiuzhi, write a letter of persuasion and send it to the rich chieftains in Linchuan County, don't say that it is unpredictable!

Those who do not obey the orders of the imperial court are rebellious, and there is nothing to say. "

In a place like Jiankang, you are a barbarian if you show your sword, and you don't know etiquette. Liu Yishou must "rule the country according to the law" in everything.

In a place like Jiangzhou, you are a big brother with sharp swords, mighty and domineering, and Liu Yishou must "be polite before fighting" in everything.

Different places have different customs and customs, and the methods of dealing with them are also very different.

"Follow King Wu's order!"

Several local tycoons in Jiangzhou who had been recruited said together, then left in a hurry and returned to the garrison to prepare for the war.

Zhou Xu was not a bare-bones commander either. He still had an army in Linru County (the county seat of Linchuan's old county) in the southeast of Yuzhang County, which was also the northernmost point of Linchuan County.If there is no accident, Liu Yishou's counter-insurgency army will start from Linru County and go south to wipe out Linchuan County.

The chieftain of Linchuan didn't attack Zhou Xu before, and after the assassination failed, he didn't want to directly turn against the court and start a war.Chen Baxian didn't fight Liu Yishou directly, so why should they fight in the front?

The minds of the local wealthy chieftains in Linchuan are the same as those old scumbags in Liu Yishou's previous life: they don't take the initiative, don't refuse, and don't take responsibility.

Yang Xiuzhi deeply felt that Liu Yishou took things lightly because he failed in the matter of recruiting the chieftain of Linchuan.He saw that Liu Yishou recruited the powerful chieftains of Bashan County with ease, and thought that these people were like cats who couldn't be beaten, and would run over if they threw a dried fish.

But in fact, after some operation, I realized that people's hearts are treacherous and unpredictable, and the smaller the place, the more troublesome it is. Chi Qian Wang Ba Duo's words are not for nothing.

Not reading doesn't mean you're not smart.

Although in the long run, these local wealthy chieftains in Linchuan are all first-class idiots, they don't understand the general trend of the world, and they don't really want to benefit the people in their hometown. Have fun.

However, in the short term, they are cunning and suspicious, calculating this and that every day, not only daring to think but also daring to do it.

Although the world is big, it is not of the same mind. Everyone has ambitions, but most people do not have the ability and wisdom to match them.

There is so much suffering in the world, and it really needs a wise and courageous leader like Liu Yishou to stand up, sweep away those stubborn forces, and lead those who have gone astray to the right path.

After the blow of this failed recruitment, Yang Xiuzhi finally figured out what it meant to be "I can't do it".

In layman's terms, Liu Yishou is the "father", and they are all younger brothers.

……

The new county government of Linchuan County is in Nancheng (Nancheng County), where Zhou Di's ancestral home is.Although he is not small, his background is not very high. Like Zhou Xu, he was also restrained by the local tyrants in Linchuan.

So Zhou Di formed an alliance with Zhou Fu, a fellow countryman. Zhou Fu was a local tyrant, but he didn't have many soldiers.Zhou Di had many soldiers, but he couldn't restrain his troops, and his subordinates listened to the instructions but not to the announcement.Zhou Di introduced Zhou Fu's trilogy and used it to deal with his subordinates.

This move can be described as wonderful, much stronger than the unlucky Zhou Xu.

These wealthy chieftains are similar to those Xianbei tribes under Er Zhurong's command at the beginning, they all gather for profit, and separate for profit.At the beginning, Liu Yishou didn't have a single soldier under his command, so when dealing with these people, he had to lure them with benefits and make the best use of the situation.

Now the leaders of these Xianbei tribes have become members of Gao Huan or He Bayue, such as Li Hu, Hou Mo and Chen Shun.

The same is true for these Jiangzhou tyrants. If they climb up, they can become generals of the imperial army system and break away from the class of "local tyrants".If you continue to stay in your hometown to do your best, that is just to continue the old story.

Therefore, the local chieftain in Linchuan County had very complicated thoughts about Liu Yishou sending troops to pacify Jiangzhou and then march south to Guangzhou.

Some people want to climb up, some people are content with the status quo, and some people want to participate, but wait for the situation to be clear before placing a bet.No one is a hungry tiger who bites people indiscriminately.The boundary between good and evil is blurred here, but the bond of interests is extremely clear.

"Everyone, the King of Wu asked us to send the trilogy to the camp outside Linru City to receive reorganization, should we go or not?"

Zhou Di looked around the crowd and asked, he was tall and burly, his arms were muscular, and he looked like a strong man.

But at this moment Zhou Di was frowning, raised the letter paper in his hand and asked everyone.

At this time, a short, dark-skinned general stood up and said: "We cannot resist the elite soldiers of the imperial court, no matter how many people there are, it is useless.

I think Wu Wang's pacification of Jiangzhou is second, mainly to deal with Chen Baxian in Guangzhou.Why don't we send some recruits over there and see what's going on. "

The person who spoke was Zhou Fu. Unlike Zhou Di, although his songs were few, they were all his own.To put it bluntly, it's okay if there's nothing wrong, but if something happens, he doesn't want to wade into the muddy water.

Now the situation seems to be going through muddy waters.

"It's easy for you to say. That Zhou Xu had already taken refuge in the king of Wu. We sent troops there. Didn't that mean that we sent Zhou Xu a piece of music? We will definitely not go if we want to go to you."

A lazy voice came from below, probably spent the night on a woman's belly, speaking weakly.

"what about you?"

Zhou Di looked around at the other people present and asked.

"I can't go, the imperial court wants us to be dogs, to bite each other with Chen Ba first. With this time, it's better to hug the mother-in-law at home."

"Yes, yes, whoever wants to go can go, anyway, I won't go."

There was a lot of chatter in the lobby, except for Zhou Fu, no one else was willing to cooperate with the court.In fact, this is also very understandable, because they have been like this for a hundred years!It has become a fixed way of thinking.

"Then how do you reply to this letter of persuasion?"

Zhou Di suppressed his dissatisfaction and asked.

"You ask us? You are the coach, okay?"

Someone below interjected, and the lobby fell into an awkward silence.

Chapter 560 Tender Chick

The imperial army is coming, and now they have sent a letter of persuasion, what should we do?what to do?what to do!

Zhou Di was in a hurry, but he found that the rich chieftains in the lobby didn't seem to be in a hurry at all. Anyway, he, the tall man, was holding the sky down.These people have no sense of crisis at all, and seem to think that everything will be fine if something goes wrong and push people out to top their bags.

Naturally, the meeting broke up unhappy and did not reach any consensus.So Zhou Di left Zhou Fu alone, and the two discussed major issues.

"Zhongyuan (Zhou Fubiao), the situation seems a little bad."

Zhou Di let out a long sigh, feeling deeply worried about the current situation, and felt that the many wealthy chieftains in Linchuan County were short-sighted and lacked intelligence and strategy!

These people can't see that the crisis is not only full of danger, but also hidden vitality.For these local rich chieftains who are rolling in the mud, the imperial army's marching south to Guangzhou to suppress the rebellion is not only dangerous, but also an excellent opportunity to climb up.

The only difference lies in which side to bet on!Needless to say, if the bet is right, it must be the arrival of prosperity and wealth.But if the bet is wrong, the whole family will die.

"I've heard some deeds about this King of Wu. This man is very difficult to deal with. If we want to vote for Chen Baxian, we can only make plans early and lead our troops south to Guangzhou now. Otherwise, we won't be able to leave."

Zhou Fu said very worriedly.

He has a very clear understanding of the current situation, and it is impossible not to make a statement. If you don't want to do things for the imperial court, then you have to do things for the rebel forces in Guangzhou. There is no middle option.

The imperial court will not allow the rich chieftains of Jiangzhou to act on their own.

Thinking about it in turn, this is one of the only ways for the imperial court to counter the rebellion army.If the local tycoons are allowed to go out of control, can the battle between the officials and the army continue?

To make a decision, it must be early.

"Going south to Guangzhou and leaving our hometown, we have no one to rely on to fight. Supplies are a problem. Who will go with us? If you resist the imperial army in Linchuan County, your hometown will be burnt. Chen Baxian and his gang, They will not give us individual support.

After all, Linchuan County is not Nankang County, it is too far away, alas! "

Zhou Di let out a long sigh. In fact, he didn't really want to help the court put down the rebellion. Why?Because the current imperial court has obvious advantages and controls the overall situation!

If the local wealthy chieftain of Linchuan County joins the army, it's no fun to get some soup to drink.It can be said that with so many people under Liu Yishou's command, one more Zhou Di is not too many, and one less him is also a lot.

Only by helping Chen Baxian, who is weak, can he gain more power from it.Moreover, Xiao Gang is Xiao Yan's son-in-law, and the former emperor was kicked out, so it can be regarded as justifiable.

They are just from the dragon, not yet a self-reliant rebellion, the risk of which is much smaller.

"In my opinion, I still have to go there, at least to delay the time. What is King Wu's attitude now, and what the court plans to do in Linchuan County, we have only a half-knowledge, and it is still necessary to find out what they think."

Zhou Fu thought for a while and said.

"It makes sense."

Zhou Di nodded slightly, agreeing with Zhou Fu's point of view, but worried that Zhou Fu would never come back after going there, or gave Liu Yishou wrong information.

"How about this, I'll write a letter, and you take a thousand young men to Linru to see the situation. After you meet King Wu, just give this letter to King Wu."

Zhou Di finally came up with a "half-step forward" plan: I don't agree to date you, but it's still okay to add a WeChat account to send a red envelope from time to time, similar to the routine routine of later generations of scumbag girls fishing for a spare tire.

"That's fine."

Zhou Fu sighed, always feeling that Zhou Di's indecision would cause serious trouble, but he didn't know how to persuade him.After all, different identities mean different considerations.

Zhou Di's group of low-intelligence tycoons and chiefs really can't count on them too much.That group of people did more than succeed in their affairs, and more than one more week would feel like an eyesore.

Zhou Di has a group of this kind of stuff under his command!

……

Before Liu Yishou came, the situation in Jiangzhou was barely maintained by Yang Xiuzhi.Now that the rightful lord has come, the matter must of course continue to move forward, and it cannot be left unresolved like this.

So Liu Yishou ordered the army to go to Yuzhang County, and use Yuzhang City as a base to set up a counter-insurgency battalion.

Let Yang Min of Jiankang transport the grain and grass in time, pass the ferry of Jingkou, and transfer it to Leichi on the other side of the city, as the general granary.Then Webster's fleet was responsible for patrolling the Yangtze River and Poyang Lake to protect the supply line so that the tank boats on the Yangtze River could enter Poyang Lake smoothly.

Zhou Wenyu led the auxiliary troops to set up a transfer ferry on the edge of the south exit of Poyang Lake, and transferred the grain and grass from the large tank boat to the small boat, and then transferred it along the tributary of the Ganshui River to the ferry outside Yuzhang City. Prevent the narrow river channel from running aground on large tank ships coming up the Yangtze River.

The entire supply line of water transportation began to operate in an orderly manner, so that the world can see that the imperial court's suppression of rebellion is not a joke, but a real action.

Just looking at this highly efficient, orderly and well-protected food road, one can know that the people who use soldiers are scheming, not the kind of reckless and reckless warriors who don't care about the consequences.

However, all these are just superficial phenomena. In fact, Liu Yishou also encountered his own problems.

Around Yuzhang County, the terrain can be considered flat.However, when marching southeast to Linru County, further south, the road will be very difficult.Surrounding Linru is the last plain in the north of Linchuan County. If you continue to move forward, the mountain road is rugged and easy to be ambushed.

Linchuan County was changed to a county government because the terrain of Linru area was too flat and it was too close to Yuzhang County.The local forces here are still from the circle of Yuzhang, and they are not from the same group as the area centered on Nancheng County to the south.

Using this place as the county government is not conducive to win over the local tycoons in Linchuan County.

Now Liu Yishou has dispatched the vanguard Yang Zhongbu to station [-] soldiers in Linru County. If he advances further, he will have to walk a long way to reach the lair of the powerful chieftains in Linchuan County: Nancheng County!

Nancheng, Yongcheng, Dongxing and other counties are all not far to the east of Nancheng County, forming a relatively large-scale populated area.

Getting through here means that Linchuan County has been captured, and continue to Nanfeng County and other places in the south. Although it is still within the scope of Linchuan County, it is no longer a cause for concern.

The problem Liu Yishou faced was simple: the army under his command was not suitable for fighting in the mountains.The local soldiers and horses incorporated in Jiangzhou cannot be used as the main force.

It is very unwise to attack the enemy's strengths with one's own weaknesses.It is necessary to lure the chieftain of Linchuan County to Linru County, and fight a large-scale annihilation battle in this flat place with rivers and rivers, in order to open the situation of attacking Linchuan County.

To attack directly, the initiative is in your own hands, but the cost-effectiveness of taking the mountain road is extremely poor.

Lure the enemy to go deep, and the initiative is in the hands of the Linchuan chieftains. Although the cost-effective ratio is high, the enemy is not an idiot. You want these people to fight in Linru County, where the terrain is unfavorable to them, is a bit wishful thinking.

Those wealthy chieftains can consume forever, how long will Liu Yishou consume energy?This is a tough competition.

The only reliance is that Linru County is the only exit to the north of Linchuan County, and it is also the only window for obtaining materials from the outside conveniently and efficiently.

Not to mention anything else, Linchuan County does not produce salt, and the salt needed must be transported from Yuzhang County, and the salt in Yuzhang County comes from the Yangtze River. It departs from Guangling (Yangzhou).

This is also one of the important reasons why Jiangzhou Haoji dare not turn against the court casually.

Without Lianghuai salt, what would Jiangzhou eat?

In the history of Liu Yishou's previous life, after the Hou Jing Rebellion, many chieftains in the Jiangzhou area sided with Wang Lin. It was because the Northern Qi later controlled the Huaihe River, and the salt could be directly transported to Jiangzhou.

Linru County is a place that must be contested. As soon as the soldiers and horses of the imperial court leave, the powerful chieftains of Linchuan County will take it back as quickly as possible. The longer it is delayed, the greater their loss!
