Governor please stay

"General Wei, the Liang army has set up camp ten miles south of Wuguan City. This is a letter from their chief general Yang Zhong. Please take a look at it."

The personal soldier handed a letter in front of Wei Xiaokuan, then turned and left.

Wei Xiaokuan opened the letter, read it again and again, frowning slightly.

Yang Zhong said in the letter that he hoped that he would open the gate of Wuguan City, and Liang Jun would take over Wuguan, as agreed in the previous letter.

However, at this juncture, Wei Xiaokuan dare not open the door to Yang Zhong!

Before meeting Liu Yishou, Wei Xiaokuan would not open the door to anyone, and any promises made by Liang Jun generals cannot be taken seriously.As an old coin, it is natural to know the gameplay of the old coin.

Randomly send someone here to make a random promise, and when it is done, punish that person and cancel the previous promise, hehe, these routines are left over from Wei Xiaokuan's play.

Wei Xiaokuan's elder brother, Wei Yan, was a well-known scholar in Guanzhong. He repeatedly rejected He Bayue's enlistment and stayed at home to devote himself to landscapes.Wei Xiaokuan wrote a letter and asked Wei Yan to take it with him to the camp of Yang Zhong's army to deliver the letter.

In the letter, Wei Xiaokuan stated his interests and hoped that Liu Yishou would personally enter the pass to preside over the overall situation, and he did not say that the city gate could not be opened.The implication is that Yang Zhong's grade is not enough, not enough to knock on the gate of Wuguan.

Yang Zhong was shut out, so he could only send people to Nanyang to look for the soldiers and horses of the imperial army from Jiankang, inform Liu Yishou of the matter, and urge him to come to Wuguan as soon as possible, otherwise things will change later.

At the same time, news of the chaos in Guanzhong spread.Gao Huan and Gao Yang from Hebei, and Er Zhurong from Bingzhou all learned about this and started to act.

Chapter 664 Just at the door and not going in

"Wei Xiaokuan is in a hurry."

In the study room of the government office in Wancheng, Liu Yishou, who came from afar, praised the letter in his hand to Dugu Xin, and said with a proud smile.

It is not uncommon for Yang Zhong to suffer in front of Wuguan, but this shows that Wei Xiaokuan really wants to take refuge.

"Indeed."

Dugu Xin nodded slightly, feeling a sigh of relief in his heart.

The old brothers in Wuchuan Town have turned against each other openly and lost their cohesion.After He Bayue's death, many people dissatisfied with Hou Mo, Chen Shun and Li Hu. In fact, this was expected by many discerning people including Liu Yishou.

What He Bayue couldn't do, Li Hu and the others couldn't do it either, and they didn't show that strength on weekdays.

Killing He Bayue certainly interrupted the process of "nationalization of trilogy".However, for Li Hu and others, this was nothing more than restoring some military power in the past.

It's not enough for these people to get out of He Bayue's shadow, let alone get out of the predicament!

"The last general received a lot of news from Guanzhong in Nanyang, and has been preparing the army for battle, but he didn't expect that the lord would personally lead the battle."

Dugu Xin said very cautiously.

After seizing Guanzhong, Liu Yishou must move the capital first and then proclaim himself emperor.The first relocation was all to smooth out the natural advantages of the southern family in Jiankang. Needless to say, the later proclaiming the emperor, after more than ten years of hard work, is it still not allowed to enjoy it?

Dugu Xin sees this very clearly, the person in front of him is most likely to be the future co-lord of the world.Guanzhong has been lost, Hebei cannot exist alone, and the war for the world has begun.

"If I don't go out personally, it will be difficult to appease the hearts of the people in the pass. It's just that after opening the passage to enter the pass, whether to enter the pass quickly is still debatable."

Liu Yishou looked calm and thoughtful.

"My lord, do you still have to hesitate about this matter? Of course, the sooner you enter the customs, the better!"

Dugu Xin asked in bewilderment.

"On the surface, it looks like it is, but in fact it is not. Now that the Guanzhong is torn apart, everyone has ambitions in their hearts and feels that they can do something great.

If we rashly join them, we will definitely have conflicts with most of them, and it will take a lot of time and energy to suppress the rebellion.

In this way, the result is twice the result with half the effort, and the gain outweighs the loss. "

Liu Yishou waved his hand and said, it is true that he wants Wuguan very urgently, but whether he should enter Guanzhong quickly is really a matter of opinion!

What are you doing so early?

Hou Mo, Chen Shun and others will definitely not accept him and want to fight.

Da Xiwu and the others might not necessarily bow down to their heads, they might still have to fight.

The Qiang and Di tribes around Guanzhong also want to fight, not to mention the grassland peoples like Rouran who may take advantage of the fire.

In addition, Gao Huan from Hebei and Er Zhurong from Bingzhou, seeing the chaos in Guanzhong, would they want to come in and get a share?

It has to be said that this possibility is extremely high, and these people will also be cleaned up.

Besides, Liu Yishou entered the Guanzhong forcefully with elite soldiers, what would the local Haoyou think?

If you want to subdue them, you must reach a compromise with these people, and Guanzhong is closed and self-defense. Will these people be too big to lose in the future?

On the way to Nanyang, Liu Yishou thought about these issues very clearly.This time, it is enough to get stuck in a foothold in the pass. As for the pass, there is really no need to rush up in such a hurry.

When everyone is tired from fighting, it will not be too late for Liu Yishou to lead people to sweep Guanzhong.Just control Luozhou where Wuguan is located.The advantage of this road is that it is the closest to Chang'an and also the best way to go.

"Starting from today, the Guanzhong Governor's Mansion will be set up. I will personally serve as the governor, and the office will be temporarily set in Wancheng to take charge of the affairs of Guanzhong."

Liu Yishou gave instructions to Wang Wei who was beside him.

"Alright my lord, this subordinate will do it now."

Wang Wei was so excited that he rubbed his hands. This order was equivalent to kicking off the prelude to clearing Guanzhong. The military focus for the next period of time was to use Nanyang as the logistics base to dispatch troops to Guanzhong.

It's exciting just thinking about it.

"He Bayue actually took a step ahead of Gao Huan."

After Wang Wei left, Liu Yishou couldn't help but sighed and said with emotion.

Gao Huan is in poor health, and has a rebellious son Gao Yang, and his wife Lou Zhaojun is also at odds with him.Unexpectedly, Gao Huan was still alive and well in such a dangerous situation.On the contrary, He Bayue, who had no serious illness and no apparent disaster, died first.

The blessings and misfortunes of this world are really unpredictable.

"He Bayue died at the hands of old brother Wu Chuan. Oh, why did this happen?"

Liu Yishou sighed like a cat crying like a mouse.Hearing this, Duguxin thought that the other party was beating him, and quickly explained: "He Bayue doesn't know how to show kindness to me, and this disaster is really his own fault.

The lord is very kind to his brothers, no one is like Hou Mo Chen Shun and them. "

"Forget it, don't mention these disappointing things."

Liu Yishou waved his hands in dismay.These things naturally do not need to be reminded by Dugu Xin.As long as the cake can be made bigger, the internal pressure and contradictions can be eased, which has been the same since ancient times.

In fact, even in the Tang Dynasty, most of Zhechong’s mansions were located in Guanzhong, carrying a strong imprint of Guanzhong. Others are not easy to learn and use.

In the Tang Dynasty, like Hebei with a dense population and abundant martial arts, and Jiangnan where the economy came from behind, the number of Zhechong prefectures was pitifully small, which was not directly proportional to the strength of these places.

Why is this so?Because Fubing itself is a special product from Guanlong.

Fubing has always been the "patent" of Guanzhong. Its emergence and disappearance, its success and failure are all directly and deeply related to Guanzhong, and it cannot be separated from the control of the Guanlong family.

The reform of the military system was born out of the blood basin in Guanzhong, and naturally it also carries the blood of Guanzhong.

Dugu Xin still doesn't understand these things, but Liu Yishou has already thought through them thoroughly.

Today's Guanzhong is like a drowning person struggling desperately in the water.If Liu Yishou went up to rescue rashly, he would only be dragged down by the desperately struggling people. It would be better to let the other party to be exhausted and then come to the rescue, which would be more effective with half the effort.

……

Mosquitoes buzzed constantly in the summer night, and a fleet of ships appeared at the entrance of the Minjiang River in Jin'an County, preparing to enter the Minjiang River from the sea and land on both sides of the Minjiang River.

"Uncle, something is wrong."

Chen Qian, who was dressed in a coarse cloth jacket with a dagger hanging around her waist, came to the cabin where Chen Baxian was and said in a low voice.

They are going to sneak attack the villages outside Houguan City, grab the food and leave!

Chen Ba first set the rules for the pirates under his command, they only rob food and don't kill people, they only enter villages and don't attack cities.In short, since it is a sea bandit, all the robbery is the main thing, and other things should be avoided as much as possible.

"What's wrong?"

Chen Baxian, who was full of beards and hadn't taken care of them for a long time, asked in a deep voice.

"Uncle, it's too quiet here."

Chen Qian said with some fear, with a bad premonition in her heart.

Old fishermen like to fish at night, so it is easy to catch big fish.In the section from the Minjiang River to the sea, there are many fish, and fishermen often fish at night.But today, both sides of the Minjiang River are pitch black, not even a fishing boat can be seen, which is really too weird.

"Don't worry, there is news from the locals that Wang Sengbian led troops to Jiankang. The local defenses in Jin'an County are empty. It may be fine to defend the city, but it is definitely impossible to protect the surrounding villages."

Chen Ba waved his hand first, and said indifferently.

How could he lose? He has a local as his eyeliner, has insider information, and every move of the court is under his control. If he loses, it will be hell!

Wang Sengbian did go to Jiankang with his soldiers and horses, and went to Tunza Jingkou.Because Wu Mingche's trilogy is going back to Pengcheng, there is no emergency in the north without the navy.

Chen Baxian got all these news through "certain people".That's why he dared to plunder Wang Sengbian's lair in order to avenge his hatred for digging up his ancestral grave!

"Uncle! A convoy of ships came from the south, and those who came were unkind, and blocked us at the mouth of the Minjiang River!"

At this moment, another nephew of Chen Baxian, Chen Xu, rushed into the cabin and shouted loudly.

Ok?

Chen Baxian got up abruptly, squinting his eyes as if he was thinking about something.

"Send down the order, disperse the formation according to the agreement, and withdraw to Yongdong."

Chen Baxian was very conscientious, he didn't feel that the fleet that appeared suddenly was easy to deal with, and he insisted on going up to tease him before giving up.

"Nephew is going to deliver the order."

Chen Xu strode out of the cabin.

But their actions were still one step too late.

A fleet of ships also appeared in the upper reaches of the Minjiang River, and it seemed that they were going to cooperate with another fleet to encircle Chen Baxian's fleet in the narrow waters of the Minjiang Estuary!

Counted!

Chen Baxian's heart tightened, and he understood many things.One's own intelligence advantage does not always exist.The secrets on the water were discovered by the Jiankang court, so they naturally had a way to deal with it, and it was even unknown if they played the trick the other way around.

It is true that this wave of Wang Sengbian left Houguan City, but who said that he is the only one who can lead troops in Liang Kingdom?

Using Wang Sengbian as the bait on the bright side, and then secretly stealing Chen Cang behind the scenes, this trick is too commonplace!

Chen Baxian secretly blamed himself. Ever since he became a pirate, the enemies he encountered were all like hot chickens, not even a single enemy.The past two years have been smooth sailing, coupled with his intentional avoidance of "hard walnuts", unknowingly degraded his ability and sense of battlefield.

"Things are not harmonious, we can jump into the water and swim to the shore to escape."

Chen Baxian whispered in Chen Qian's ear.

As long as Yongdong's foundation is still there, he can pull up a larger fleet than this in less than two years.Of course, it is necessary to go back and stabilize the basic market.Being able to go back by oneself is a victory, other things are not important, not at all important.

"Uncle, can we really not beat these people?"

Chen Qian asked unwillingly. To be honest, he thought they were pretty good after traveling across the sea for the past two years.

"If it enters the inner water, it will not be our battlefield."

Chen Baxian sighed lightly, not wanting to explain too much.

Soon, some ships in his fleet were burning in the dark, and he didn't know what method the opponent's fleet used. He heard a loud noise, and a ship on his side blazed amidst the explosion. combustion.

Chen Baxian's flagship extinguished all the lights, and like a water snake swimming underwater, it quietly left the battlefield and headed towards the sea off the Minjiang River in the dark.

None of the parties busy in the battle noticed the ship.

In the early morning of the next day, the surface of the Minjiang River had calmed down, and the huge fleet was pulling nets to hunt down the struggling pirates. By noon, the basic results of the battle had been figured out.

The battle situation was one-sided. Wang Sengbian's navy ambushed in the depths of the Minjiang River, and Yu Wentai's imperial navy from the south of Guangzhou attacked from both sides, and almost wiped out the bandits.

There's just one problem: Ba ​​Chen ran away first!

"A horse rider is really slipperier than a loach!"

In the lobby of Hou Guancheng's Yamen, Wang Seng smashed his helmet to the ground in resentment, and couldn't help but swear.After digging Chen's ancestral grave, Wang Sengbian was very guilty. Every day Chen Baxian couldn't catch it, he felt uncomfortable every day.

Yu Wentai, who came from afar, has no temper.Thanks to the accuracy of the intelligence, the timing of their appearance is very suitable.Let Chen Ba run away first. In fact, there are also factors of unskilled cooperation among various departments, but this has little to do with Yu Wentai.

He wasn't in charge anyway.

"There is no reason to be a thief for a thousand days, but there is no reason to guard against a thief for a thousand days. Now that the pirates have been severely injured by us, now we are going to report the good news to King Wu, and at the same time find a way to go to Yongdong to clear the pirates, so that Chen Baxian has no place to stand. At that time, whoever When local officials meet Chen Baxian's uncles and nephews who are in trouble, they can ask people to catch them, so there is no need to mobilize them."

Yu Wentai said calmly.

Hearing this, Wang Sengbian was taken aback for a moment, then nodded silently.I have to admit that the idea of ​​Yuwentai, an old coin, is right.The reason why Chen Baxian annoyed these local bosses was because the other party used the cover of pirates to dream of a big dream of separatist regime.

As long as we get rid of Yongdong, which Chen Baxian relied on for his survival, then the other party is nothing more than a fugitive, and he may even die casually at the foot of an unknown mountain, in the woods.

"Then let's go out together."

Wang Sengbian suggested.In fact, he wanted to monopolize the credit. Everyone knew that after this battle, the Yongdong Sea Bandits had been seriously injured, and going there was just a mopping up.

The credit is to drop it on the ground, just pick it up.So Wang Sengbian was too embarrassed to open his mouth to claim credit.
