Governor please stay

As a powerful minister who controls the country, Liu Yishou enriches all kinds of resources under his command. This is what any good politician will do.Liu Yishou didn't necessarily take Zhou Di seriously, maybe he was just like those bugs blocking the way, trampled to death if he wanted to.

"Other people, how did King Wu deal with it?"

Zhou Di did not answer Zhou Fu's question, but instead asked something that had nothing to do with him.

"The chiefs from all walks of life were drawn three times and killed one. The damned one didn't run away. The family members were sent into exile, and the authority fell to the side. As for the soldiers who were captured, they were organized to serve as corvees to build roads. After three years of repair, they could be released home and reunited with their families.

The road construction also benefits the village, so they don't feel so sad.I don't think there is any problem with King Wu's placement. "

Zhou Fu sighed, and I have to say that Liu Yishou is really good at being a man, and he understands people's hearts.Not only did things, but also did not follow the truth.

The captives built the road for punishment, but after the road was built, it was easier to travel in various villages and lis, and it was easier to export the mountain goods from the mountains to Linru County for sale. After all, it was for themselves.

Since they are doing things for their hometown, the enthusiasm of the captives to build roads is probably much higher than doing other things.This is not only to serve as a warning to others, but also to persuade people.It can be said to be kind and powerful, but it does not cost a single soldier.

Zhou Fu secretly thought that if he took Liu Yishou's position, he might not be able to do better.

"The king of Wu is indeed...a dragon and a phoenix among men."

Zhou Di looked lonely, finally nodded slightly, and saluted Zhou Fu: "Then I will trouble Brother Zhongyuan (Zhou Fu's name) to intercede."

"It's easy to say, it's what you and I are of the same race. It's just that in the future, you have to be cautious in your words and deeds.

You can probably tell that Wu Wang is a person. He doesn't care about many things at all, but he is very difficult to talk about many things. "

Zhou Fu hinted very cryptically.

It can be seen that Zhou Di is still very dissatisfied with Liu Yishou, thinking that the opponent's victory is unarmed.But Zhou Fu believes that if you win, you win, and if you lose, you lose. You just need to look at the results.

People in the north are not used to the hot and humid environment, and this is one of the factors that determine the outcome. You are not qualified to ask others to go to the north to compete with you.In the same way, if someone else has a magic weapon in their hands, and has a complete intelligence investigation and communication channel, that is someone else's ability.

Who says sneak attack is not war?Who stipulated that the form of war can only be fought in a rigid battle formation?

He really didn't want Zhou Di to keep digging into a dead end and fail to understand these problems.

"In the future, let's prove ourselves to King Wu with military exploits."

Zhou Fu grabbed Zhou Di's arm and said earnestly.

"Understood, I will."

Zhou Di nodded and let out a long sigh of relief.

"Let's go, let's go to see King Wu together." Zhou Fu opened the prison door and said.

If Zhou Di doesn't bow his head to Liu Yishou, he will never be able to get along.

Even if Liu Yishou didn't care, those Qiu Ba under Liu Yishou's command would kill Zhou Di.

……

"My lord, the spies report that the army of the King of Eastern Hunan is attacking the city of Pingxiang (Pingxiang, Jiangxi). The magistrate of Pingxiang opened the city and surrendered. Now the army is attacking Yiyang (Yichun City), but it has not yet been conquered."

Yang Xiuzhi carefully placed the battle report on Liu Yishou's desk, then stepped aside respectfully, waiting for the other party's answer.

"One eye in eastern Hunan?"

Liu Yishou asked in disbelief, thinking he heard it wrong.

"That's right, it's Xiangdong Yimu.

I heard that Wang Sengbian, the number one general under Xiao Yi's command, was imprisoned this time, and it was Wang Lin who was leading the army, mainly the navy. "Yang Xiuzhi replied confidently. He had read the battle report countless times, and repeatedly asked the scouts who sent the battle report, so he figured out the ins and outs.

Xiao Yi used Linxiang City (Changsha City) as his old nest, and Baling County as his minions, so he could only play with the navy.In fact, attacking Jiankang from the middle and upper reaches of the Yangtze River to the south can only use the army.Other soldiers and horses are useless and not easy to use.

"Is there such a good thing? You go and call Hu Sengyou and Yang Zhong to discuss the matter."

Liu Yishou was overjoyed, he never expected that Xiao Yi would stick his head out and get beaten instead of bothering him.If Xiao Yi didn't move, Liu Yishou would really have no good excuse to send troops to Xiangzhou for a while.

When he sent troops to Jiangzhou, it was because Chen Baxian had already rebelled in Guangzhou and had to send troops, not because he, someone like Liu, had resorted to militarism.

After a while, Yang Zhong and Hu Sengyou came to the study, and when they saw Liu Yishou's face, they knew something good was going on.

"Let's take a look at the battle reports sent from Pingxiang."

Liu Yishou pointed to the piece of paper on the table and said, Yang Zhong and Hu Sengyou circulated it among each other, both of them looked in disbelief.

"My lord, is there any fraud?"

Yang Zhong put the piece of paper back on the table with a strange expression on his face, he couldn't believe it was true.

The enemy is here to deliver the head, can you believe it?

When dealing with the heroic chieftain of Linchuan County, Yang Zhong proposed an idea, pretending to use troops in Jiangzhou, but in fact the main force of the army attacked Linxiang City from the tributary of the Ganjiang River west of Yuzhang County, and captured Xiao Yi in one battle!

Liu Yishou rejected Yang Zhong's proposal on the grounds that "the teacher came out of no name".If he casually attacked the vassal king like this, it would only force Xiao Ji, who is still vacillating, to turn against him!It would be bad if Xiao Ji was forced to jump over the wall in a hurry and collude with the Western Wei Dynasty.

Unexpectedly, Liu Yishou did not make a move, but Xiao Yi made a move instead!This kind of happy gifting of heads made Yang Zhong and Hu Sengyou, the two veterans on the battlefield, think that they were dazzled.

"Master, this is an excuse Xiao Yi gave us to send troops! If we don't send troops now, when will we wait!"

Yang Zhong said excitedly.

This time, it is necessary to beat Xiangdong Yimu to death with a stick, cut off a strong fan, eliminate the threat of flanking, and just create conditions for the future southern expedition to Guangzhou.

"Let Webster's navy take the lead this time."

Liu Yishou nodded slightly and said, he was not a hesitant person in the first place, the enemy made a mistake, so naturally he couldn't be used to it.It is indeed not a good time to go west now, Jiangzhou's army has not yet been reorganized, and the relevant supporting decrees have not been fully deployed.

However, since Xiao Yi came out to give away the head, don't blame him for not showing respect to someone like Liu.

"Here!"

Yang Zhong and Hu Sengyou clasped their hands together and said.

"By the way, there are probably a lot of water battles this time. If you can use firearms, use firearms. Be cautious and don't be greedy. It doesn't matter even if you can't hit Linxiang. Since the court has identified it as a rebellion by the vassal king, there will be opportunities in the future. .”

"Please rest assured, my lord!"

The two responded in unison.

After Yang Zhong and Hu Sengyou left, Liu Yishou fell into deep thought.

As an old coin, he never believed that pies fell from the sky. This time Xiao Yi led his troops to march eastward forcibly. Could it be that he really has the chance to win?

Does Xiao Yi have any certainty of victory?

Or throwing a child's tantrum?Xiao Yi is dozens of years older, so he won't fight with his temper, right?

Liu Yishou couldn't help secretly guessing Xiao Yi's intentions.

……

"His Royal Highness, Yiyang City is strong and difficult to conquer. It is better to return to Liling first!"

In the cabin of the building boat, Wang Lin knelt on one knee in front of Xiao Yi and tried to persuade him.

"Hey, it's all your fault, you're useless if I give you a chance!"

Xiao Yi couldn't help complaining.

Pingxiang County is vulnerable, but the defender of Yiyang City (Yichun City) is very difficult. Not only does he not open the city to surrender, he even organizes the old and young in the city to help defend the city.

For a while, Wang Lin couldn't attack!

They can't even capture Yiyang City, so why talk about a surprise attack on Yuzhang!

For a moment Xiao Yi also felt that he was impulsive and had some regrets.

"Your Highness, now is not the time to be arrogant. We can still find an excuse to say that we are helping the court suppress Jiangzhou's rebellion. Liu Yishou will definitely refuse, and then we can retreat."

Wang Lin said calmly.

Will Liu Yishou believe this ridiculous excuse?

Xiao Yi looked at Wang Lin in shock, and was speechless for a while.

"Your Highness, if Liu Yishou wants to enter Xiangzhou, he can find any reason. If he doesn't want to attack Xiangzhou, he will definitely make a big deal out of a trivial matter.

His Highness sent his eldest son Xiao Fang as hostages, and then said that he hoped to send troops to help him put down the rebellion, wouldn't it be fine. "

Xiao Fang and others are Xu Zhaopei's own, and their status is not low.Wang Lin's trick of borrowing a knife to kill people is simply ingenious.

"It makes sense."

Xiao Yi nodded slightly, but there was no objection.

Chapter 565 Surrender

Just as Liu Yishou was preparing to mobilize elite troops to advance westward to Linxiang City, a shocking news came from the front:

Xiao Yi retreated!

Xiao Yi actually retreated just like that!Even Yiyang City (Yichun City) was not defeated, and they did not encounter any counterattacks, so they just retreated!

When Liu Yishou heard the news, he was so shocked that he couldn't speak for a long time, and was confused by Xiao Yi's willfulness and casualness.

This time, Liu Yishou felt ashamed to compete with a hot chicken like Xiao Yi on the same stage.

"Military affairs, is this just a joke?"

In the study, Liu Yishou asked Yang Zhong and the others in disbelief.

"Returning to the lord, Xiao Yi's behavior was unexpected. But the spies reported that the army of the King of Xiangdong has indeed retreated to Liling City. This has been confirmed repeatedly, and the end will be guaranteed."

Yang Zhong said with a dark face, he was also extremely upset.

Yang Zhong was gearing up, had already reorganized his military equipment, and planned to set off, but the battle report was sent from Yiyang City: Xiao Yi returned to Liling with the army, and he didn't even want Pingxiang, so he left cleanly.

Not long after, the scouts under Liu Yishou also came back to report that Xiao Yi had indeed retreated.

A group of really smart people are played around by Xiao Yi, who is rough in things, and no one can bear it!

"My lord, Xiao Yi led his troops back to the border of Liling, so it's not easy for us to hold him accountable.

After all, Liling City is the gateway to Xiao Yi's feudal kingdom, so there is nothing wrong with him stationing troops there.Attacking Pingxiang, just saying that they are chasing bandits can also fool them.

Similar things are the same as catching traitors and catching doubles. We did not catch Xiao Yi's sore feet on the spot. We went west, but we seemed to be forcing against the vassal king, and fell into a passive position. "

Yang Xiuzhi persuaded Liu Yi to keep the way, for fear that his master would act impulsively.

"This matter is indeed a bit troublesome."

Liu Yishou nodded slightly and said, suppressing the unhappiness in his heart.

The current situation is like a private detective catching evidence of a housewife's infidelity, only to see the woman enter the hotel and come out immediately.

If you say that there is something wrong with this woman, it is of course very suspicious, but taking pictures of the woman entering and leaving the hotel can't explain any problems.At least not hard evidence.

"My lord, how about we quietly lead our troops to fight there, and then..."

Yang Zhong made a gesture of wiping his neck.

He thought well, but in fact it was easy to teach others how to operate.

Xiao Yi led an army to invade Yuzhang County, this is the image of a vassal king who took advantage of the fire.At that time, Liu Yishou will have enough reasons to deal with him.But now Xiao Yi retreated quickly, but Liu Yishou was not easy to do it, and he was a bit wary.

The imperial court always has to present an image of tolerance, so how can they use those "unnecessary" excuses to deal with the vassals?

"My lord, if you can't do martial arts, we will send you a text. In the name of the emperor, I will issue an edict, asking Xiao Yi why he invaded Pingxiang and other places for no reason, and also attacked Yiyang City. Let Xiao Yi go back to Jiankang to explain this to the court. thing!

This is called courtesy first and soldiers later! "

Yang Xiuzhi chuckled, with an expression of success.

"Wonderful! Sure enough, it's you!"

Liu Yishou clapped his palms and laughed, Yang Xiuzhi's trick was extremely tricky, it could directly make Xiao Yi speechless, full of bitterness and still unable to speak.

The things about your invasion of the surrounding territories are a bit out of place, the emperor was very upset when he heard about it, so hurry up to Jiankang and explain to the emperor and the central courtiers, what exactly are you trying to do!

Whether this is a distortion of human nature or a loss of morality, you have to give an explanation, but you can't just fool it like this and pretend nothing happened.

Isn't it too much for the imperial court to ask for such a request?

Then according to Xiao Yi's character, the King of Eastern Hunan, who is used to making trouble for the people and harming me, would definitely not dare to come to Jiankang.

If Xiao Yi refuses to come, what does that mean?Needless to say, of course it's a guilty conscience!Everyone in the world can see clearly.

If you are not guilty, why dare not come?They are all from the Xiao family, why don't you give the emperor an explanation?

Since this is the case, then you must want to rebel!

If you didn't want to rebel, why did you attack Pingxiang and Yiyang?Why didn't you dare to come to Jiankang to report on your work after the fight?

With such a dilemma, it was hard for Xiao Yi to solve the problem. No matter how he explained it, it would be hard to argue, unless he made a trip to Jiankang himself.
