Governor please stay

This time, the main force of the private army of the powerful chieftains in Linchuan County was almost wiped out, but there were still fish that slipped through the net.

Because Zhou Di's fellow clan, Zhou Fu, who was born in a wealthy chieftain, did not participate in it, but retreated to Yongcheng, southeast of Nancheng, with his trilogy alone.

It's clear that I don't want to go into muddy water!It seems unbelievable.

To have such insights, one's own level is obviously higher than that of ordinary wealthy chieftains.

"Let him come in. No matter how you say it, he is a talent. It's too unreasonable not to even meet him."

Liu Yishou put down his pen, picked up the "Yi Yi" and began to read it. "Book of Changes" is obscure, and its annotations are not simple.Liu Yishou has read it countless times, and now he only understands the surface.

After a while, Zhou Fu was taken to the government office study by Hu Luxian, and Liu Yishou looked curiously at this short, unattractive local tycoon.

If Zhou Di was burly and powerful, then Zhou Fu obviously looked similar to ordinary mountain people in the southern mountainous area of ​​Yuzhang County.

In a nutshell, lean and lean.

"This time, the chiefs and chiefs in Linchuan made trouble, why didn't you participate in it? You and Zhou Di are still of the same clan, so it's hard to justify not helping him."

Liu Yishou stared at the book in his hand and asked casually without even looking at Zhou Fu.

"Back to King Wu, although I am stupid, I will not do those actions that lead to self-destruction."

Zhou Fu bent down to salute, maintaining this posture, and said in a humble tone.

"It's interesting, but I don't want to listen to these clichés, tell me your reasons."

Liu Yishou put down "Yi Yi" in his hand, looked at Zhou Fu with piercing eyes and asked.

"I was born in Jiangzhou and grew up in Jiangzhou. Although I have lived in Jiangzhou for generations, I have always been excluded by Jiangzhou. My parents were like this, and my children may be like this.

I think that going on like this is not going to work. "

Zhou Fu straightened his waist and said earnestly.

Liu Yishou couldn't help but sat up straight, and encouraged him: "Well said, keep talking."

"Since the end of the Han Dynasty, Jiangzhou has always only had Pancheng and Yuzhang, and the favor of the imperial court has only reached here. And the south of Yuzhang is like a place where the uncivilized are drinking blood. I am not reconciled, and I am afraid our children will not be happy either." Willingly.

Linchuan County is blocked by mountains and the transportation is inconvenient.But there is no way to open the way. Blocking the soldiers and horses of the imperial court can certainly maintain the current situation where each family sweeps the snow before their own doors, but will our children and grandchildren also want to pass it on like this from generation to generation? "

Zhou Fu said a very real problem.

Others no longer regard you as a human being, do you want to be a human being, do you want to be a human being?

Do we want to let ourselves down together with our offspring, or start seeking change from our own generation?

Zhou Fu saw the choices of Huang Fajiu, Yu Xiaoqing and others.He believed that if Liu Yishou only relied on force to subdue these people, it would be very difficult to get their approval.

How can we work together if we don’t even agree with each other?

In the history of Liu Yishou's previous life, there was an important force in the development of southern Jiangzhou and even the Qinling Mountains in northern Guangzhou, and that was the "Hakkas" who migrated from the north.

These people brought the advanced production technology and Chinese culture to the north.

Only with change can there be development.Whether this kind of change is active or passive, it is just the difference of how much pain and helplessness is involved in the process of change.

Actively seeking change is naturally much better than being beaten with a stick by others and having to change yourself.

Those Linchuan chieftains who blocked the entry of external forces were obviously not the all-in-one enemy of Liu Yishou who held great power. What was the significance of the final struggle?

Zhou Fu thinks very clearly and has his own selfishness.He admitted that he gambled, but he was right.

"What do you think, how should this king deal with those tyrannical chiefs who follow the wind?"

Liu Yishou asked calmly.

"Kill a group, put a group under house arrest, and reorganize their melodies. To mobilize elite soldiers and form elite troops to open the way for King Wu to go south, this is the meaning of our existence.

As long as the imperial court can develop the south of Yuzhang, build bridges and roads, and change caves into counties, decades later, it will naturally be able to follow orders.As long as the king of Wu didn't regard the mountain people as debris that could be used and discarded at will, the mountain people would naturally not regard the court as a poisonous snake and beast. "

Zhou Fu said neither humble nor overbearing.

"Okay, this king needs talents like you.

The important task of unifying the local powerful chieftain forces in Linchuan County is entrusted to you.Of course, most of these powerful chiefs are blood-debt, and you have to find a way to deal with their family members properly, and replace them with people with prestige in ordinary times.

The sites that should be merged should be merged, and those that should be revoked should be revoked, these are up to you.I don't want any of the powerful chieftains who participated in the turmoil, their heirs and blood relatives to continue to domineeringly.

understand? "

Liu Yishou asked by knocking on the table with his index finger.

"The subordinates took orders, but the soldiers and horses..."

Zhou Fu also knew that Linchuan County's soldiers and horses were useless, and the number of private troops under the command of various powerful chieftains was quite large, but the quality was very worrying.

In the previous battle, he was beaten back to his original form by Liu Yishou's very small number of elite soldiers.

"I only want three thousand soldiers and horses, at most no more than this number. Those who are selected will be allocated the land, and they will not have to pay rent to the local people in the future. As for where the land will come from, you can figure it out.

By the way, Zhou Di's head is a little unclear, and he is currently locked in a prison in Yuzhang City. Go and persuade him.From now on, you will be one of the governors of the Southern Conquest Army under my command, at the same level as Huang Fajiu and Yu Xiaoqing, and Zhou Di will be your lieutenant general, go! "

Hearing Liu Yishou's appointment, Zhou Fu was taken aback for a moment. He didn't expect Liu Yishou to be appointed as an official the first time they met.But the arrow is on the string and has to be fired. In the current situation, he has to accept orders if he wants to, and he has to accept orders if he doesn't want to!

Zhou Fu cupped his hands and said, "Thank you King Wu, then I will go to persuade Zhou Di here."

"Well, let's go."

Liu Yishou nodded calmly, signaling Zhou Fu to back down.

……

At the gate of Liling City, Xiao Yi had a haughty face, his one eye seemed to be able to shoot light, making Wang Sengbian, Fan brothers and others in front of him afraid to look directly.

Everyone knows that Xiao Yi is on the verge of fury, and it might erupt because of some trivial matter.

"Tell me, what's going on, why don't you enter the army now? Wang Sengbian, do you think that you can disobey the military order now that your wings are hardened?"

Xiao Yi called him by his first name, obviously dissatisfied with Wang Seng's argument to the extreme.

"Returning to Your Highness, this time Liu Yishou is in Jiangzhou, hiding his main force, and using Huang Fajiu and others to quell the chaos. If we make a surprise attack on Yuzhang now, it may succeed, but it may also fall into Liu Yishou's trick.

The subordinates thought that it would not be too late to take action after Liu Yishou led his troops south to Nankang County. "

Wang Sengbian bit the bullet and explained.

"You're all excuses! They're all excuses! Come on, take Wang Sengbian down for this king, and put him in prison first, waiting to be punished!"

Xiao Yi pointed at Wang Sengbian and yelled, not giving any face.

Wang Sengbian didn't struggle at all like this, and was taken away by Xiao Yi's personal soldiers without any love in his life, and no one stood up to intercede.

"Wang Lin, lead the troops to Yuzhang now, you command the army!"

Xiao Yi said coldly.

"Brother-in-law, this matter..."

Wang Lin wanted to say more, but she was too frightened by Xiao Yi's cold eyes to continue.

Chapter 564 Is there such a good thing?

In the small and damp prison cell in Liling City, Wang Sengbian was sitting on the straw mat bored, feeling ashamed.He is not afraid of death, and he doesn't care who directs the plays under Xiao Yi's command. Anyway, those soldiers and horses are not his personal property.

What Wang Sengbian is most worried about is that Xiao Yi ignores the current situation where the enemy is strong and we are weak, and forces the war, which will eventually lead to the collapse of the battle situation!

However, the sad thing is that Xiao Yi couldn't hold back now, and led his troops eastward, leaving Liling.Wang Sengbian didn't mean that he didn't trust Wang Lin, who succeeded him, but the current situation. It wasn't that changing the general could change the balance of power between the enemy and us.

"The big thing is over, within a month, we will all be captured by King Wu." Wang Sengbian couldn't help sighing, imagining in his mind the scene when Tian Feng was imprisoned by Yuan Shao during the Three Kingdoms period.

Tian Feng is so pitiful, and he seems to be pitiful too.

At this moment, heavy footsteps came from outside the cell, and Wang Sengbian knew it was Fan Meng.

"Captain, let's have some food." Fan Meng appeared outside the fence of Wang Sengbian's cell, holding a bowl in shame.

Wang Sengbian asked him to persuade Xiao Yi not to send troops, but he didn't say anything, and a series of chain effects finally led to the current situation.

"Eating is just to live a few more days. What's the use? Soon King Wu's soldiers and horses will hit Linxiang City, and there is no hope."

Wang Sengbian shook his head and sighed.

Listen to people's advice and have a full meal.Xiao Yi didn't listen to persuasion and acted impulsively. If he didn't say what happened this time, he would definitely suffer a lot in the future.As a subject, Wang Sengbian should share the lord's worries, but that doesn't mean he can persuade Xiao Yi.

"Captain, when my subordinates rushed to Linxiang City (Changsha City), the Lord was catching traitors. In that case, how would you ask your subordinates to speak up?"

Fan Meng had a beard all over his face. He looked like a reckless guy, but he was actually very thoughtful.

"Hey, I don't blame you. The King of Wu has already begun to cut off the vassal kings from all walks of life. I am not opposed to the lord's use of troops against Jiangzhou, but the timing is wrong. What I am more afraid of is to startle the snake!"

Wang Sengbian sighed, Liu Yishou may not be targeting Xiao Yi now, and he may not necessarily use troops against Xiangzhou.But Xiao Yi made such a tease, and the other party would fight if he didn't fight.

"The lord has already led the troops to Pingxiang. Before leaving, let the subordinates release the governor, and then I will stick to Liling City."

Fan Meng opened the cell, and handed the bowl in his hand to Wang Sengbian, who was staring blankly.

"Ugh!"

Wang Sengbian didn't know what to say.Faint and fatuous, Xiao Yi can only say "stunned", not to mention "slutty", he still knows what he should do, and he didn't order himself to be executed.

Liling is the gateway to the east of Linxiang. If it can't be defended here, the imperial navy's navy will fight along the Xiangshui River to the city of Linxiang.

"That's fine."

Wang Sengbian knew that the matter was irreversible, and could only wait for Xiao Yi to "discover his conscience" and return to Liling City.

"By the way, how did King Wu win this battle in Linchuan? Have you found out clearly?"

Wang Sengbian asked in a deep voice.

"My subordinates don't know that this battle was too hasty, beyond everyone's expectations. By the time our scouts arrived on the battlefield, it was already a day later."

Fan Meng said embarrassedly.

"Forget it, follow me to organize the army and see how many soldiers are available." Wang Sengbian walked out of the cell and found that the spring was beautiful outside.

……

In the prison cell in Yuzhang City, there was also a conversation, but the protagonists of the conversation were Zhou Di and Zhou Fu of the same clan.

"In that battle, how did you lose so much that you couldn't fight back?"

On the straw mat in the cell, Zhou Fu asked Zhou Didao who was also sitting on the ground.

"We split into two groups, going to Dayouyuan and Xiaoyouyuan respectively, and then we saw fireworks signaling in the sky, our retreat was blocked by boulders, and the exit of Jieshanling in front was also blocked."

Zhou Di sighed, recalling what happened on the battlefield that day, he still had a lot of questions that he didn't understand.

"After you were blocked, didn't you form an formation to protect yourself?"

Zhou Fu asked helplessly.

The general leading the troops encountered a similar situation, just like Liu Yishou's previous life when he took a passenger car and the car fell into a lake.Although they are basically mortal, it is not without room for struggle.

"Who said there is no formation? We have formed formation, but it is useless! The masked army under King Wu mixed with Huang Faji and others' army, waiting for an opportunity to shoot and kill my generals.

They also used a kind of thing called fire terrier, ignited it and threw it out, and it exploded above the head, splashing countless fragments.As long as a few are thrown in the past, the formation will be completely disrupted, and people will fall down like cutting wheat.

There was also that thing called Zhen Tianlei, which was thrown out and exploded, and with a bang, there were broken arms and limbs everywhere within a range of several feet.I wanted to resist stubbornly, but when I saw the power of this thing, I completely lost my heart.

How can we fight this battle? "

As soon as Liu Yishou's subordinates "didn't talk about martial arts", Zhou Di was full of anger.There is a kind of real knife and real gun on it, what kind of hero is a fire-throwing thorn who hides his head and shows his tail!

"That's no wonder."

Zhou Fu nodded slightly, not surprised by what happened to Zhou Di.

War is not simply a competition of soldiers and horses, there are many invisible hidden strengths that will determine the outcome of the war.

Liu Yishou controls the Jiankang court, and the Guangshui Army is not something that Zhou Di can compete with.It was because Zhou Di was afraid of the imperial navy's blockade of the Fuhe River that Zhou Di gave up the water route and took the land route.

As for the reconnaissance and intelligence, the imperial court has already exhausted it, and those fire thorns and thunderstorms have greatly affected the battle process, making it one-sided.

Zhou Fu secretly rejoiced that he didn't go into the muddy water this time, otherwise he wouldn't know how he died. If he was lucky, he would be able to participate in the "lottery contest" organized by King Wu, and he would have a two-thirds chance of escaping. .

But even if he can survive in the end, this life is over, and the family is also over.

"I have accepted the offer from the King of Wu, and I am going to form the Linchuan Division of the Southern Conscript Army to join Huang Fajiu and the others. The King of Wu asked you if you would like to be a lieutenant. Same crime.

If you don't want to... I guess it will be difficult for you to get out of this prison, and King Wu may kill you to sacrifice the flag. "

Zhou Fu said in a heavy tone, he could feel that Liu Yishou's rectification of the local wealthy chieftains in Jiangzhou was imperative, and it was not just a matter of occupying a territory in name.

Jiangzhou's soldiers and horses are good at fighting in the mountains. In the future, whether they are attacking Guangzhou and other places, or Xiao Ji who is conquering Shu in the west, these people will be the main force.
