Governor please stay

Chapter 169
Licheng has a long history.During the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, it was Dayi. After the establishment of the city, it has always been one of the economic and cultural centers of Qingzhou, and its strategic position is very important.

It is adjacent to Jishui River, and water transportation is very developed. It has been the transshipment place for Qingzhou to hoard grain and grass from a long time ago.Other places in Qingzhou may be short of food, but Licheng will definitely not be short of food. If even Licheng is short of food, then Qingzhou will really be in a state of needing to change children.

In the study room of the Licheng government office, a middle-aged man with rough hair but wearing the red official robe of Wei State sat in front of the desk, which meant "beautiful with a monkey".

His name is Lin Yuan, uh, although his surname is Lin, he is a true Xianbei.When Emperor Xiaowen moved south, the Xianbei Qiulin family also went south. According to the Sinicization Act at that time, Qiulin's surname was changed to Lin.Lin Yuan came from the Qiulin family in Xianbei, or the current Lin family in Jinan County, and most of his predecessors were from the Qiulin family.

The original "genuine" Lin family in Jinan County has a long history, and has migrated to Jiangnan and Fujian to spread its branches and leaves.

Lin Yuan looked at a gentle and thin young man in front of him, and asked with some doubts: "Didn't Dongping County send people over? Didn't I tell them not to come?"

This young man is a local registrant in Jinan County. His name is Fang Xiang. Well, he has two elder brothers named Fang Hu and Fang Bao. The family's names are fierce, but the name probably accounts for Wei Meng. I can't live, so people are abnormally weak.

The roots of the Fang family are in Jinan County, but Fang Xiang's family migrated from Qinghe County.Of course, the situation in Jinan County actually originated from Emperor Xiaowen Yuan Hong moving south. His visit completely changed the various humanistic ecology south of the Yellow River.

"Prefect Lin, the imperial army in Dongping County should not be underestimated. We should be more cautious and send some food and grass to stabilize them."

Fang Xiang has always been Lin Yuan's think tank, at this moment he is frowning, his words are full of uncertainty.He was actually a little dissatisfied with Lin Yuan's previous decision, but after combining his superb self-cultivation with the other party's relatively straight mind, he was not discovered.

"What kind of imperial court officers and soldiers, just holding chicken feathers as arrows. It's just being the face of Tianzi's sister! Don't talk about him, just being Tianzi, what is that? Er Zhurong's puppet. After a year, he still It's hard to say whether I can sit in that seat!"

Lin Yuan said with a face full of disdain.He is not a fool either, he thinks he has already grasped the quality of Liu Yishou and others.Some aristocratic families in Dongping County are close to Liu Yishou because they are also surnamed Liu and can "take chestnuts from the fire".But what benefits can Lin Yuan, who was born in the Qiulin family, get?
Not to mention that Liu Yishou hanged so many family members in Dongping County, Lin Yuan's buttocks are full of Xiang, and there are countless people in Jinan County who want him to die!He can let people like Liu Yishou lead troops to station around Licheng?nonexistent!

What Lin Yuan said was dismissive, but Fang Xiang was full of bitterness when he heard it, and he couldn't explain it to the arrogant Lin Taishou.The Lin family was born in Xianbei, they are quite brave, and their family's private army is quite large.When I first came, I had a conflict with the local family, but I was able to gain a firm foothold.

Fang Xiang has been paying attention to that person named Liu Yishou in Dongping County for a long time, and has collected a lot of information about this person. The more he knows, the more frightened he feels.

What happened to this person, I don't know how many times he died if he met anyone else, but this guy is now alive and kicking and hanging hundreds of "local tyrants and evil gentry" on the flagpole in Dongping County.

What does this mean?This shows that this person is not only superior, but also able to gather a group of like-minded people, and his luck is so good.How can you underestimate this kind of person?
"Prefect Lin, the people over there came here with good intentions, so you should meet him anyway?"

Fang Xiang said with some dissatisfaction.

"Are you teaching me what to do?"

Lin Yuan's eyes glowed with unkindness, matched with his rough face and unruly hair, the aura that was about to draw a knife and cut someone in the next second spewed out.

Fang Xiang swallowed his saliva, cupped his hands and said, "Don't dare to be humble."

"Then go and drive people away, and don't bother me."

Lin Yuan waved his hands as if chasing flies away, Fang Xiang smiled helplessly and exited the study.

When he came outside the government office, Fang Xiang folded his sleeves and bowed apologetically to Wang Wei, who was waiting, and said, "Prefect Lin is busy with work, so I don't see any guests for now. How about you stay in Licheng for a few days, brother, and I'll go there again." Recommend something?"

Even when he was a salted fish in Xingyang, Wang Wei had never encountered such humiliation.Although he was a salty fish in Xingyang, it was because he looked down on his colleagues and superiors, but others still knew that he was talented, so they didn't make things difficult for him.

Now under Liu Yishou's command, Liu Dudu is even more confidant to him, discussing everything with him.Wang Wei usually walks with his tail up. Who in the army can't salute him when he sees him?
As a result, the unlucky guy who was about to lose his head didn't grab his life-saving straw. Could it be that being hanged on the flagpole is really so attractive?
For a moment Wang Wei was a little dumbfounded.

"Forget it, I hope that when Xing Gao leads the troops to call, your prefect Lin can still laugh."

He said coldly to Fang Xiang, and handed the flattering letter in his hand to the other party, um, a letter from a governor named Liu.

Anyway, it wasn't me who was ashamed, Wang Wei complained silently.

He was about to leave when Fang Xiang pulled his sleeve.

"Anything else?" Wang Wei asked bluntly.

Fang Xiang nodded slightly and said: "This is not a place to talk, if you don't mind, brother, please go to the study at my next home to talk about it."

No matter when, the study room is the most private place for a man.Especially in ancient times, if a man said to his wife, I have something to do in the study and I won't go back to the bedroom tonight, then any woman who is knowledgeable and interesting will not disturb her husband.

And the study room has also become a private place for men to fish freely in their spare time. All the privacy of men is here instead of the bedroom where they sleep.

Asking the guests to discuss in detail in his study is not an official business on the surface, but a private request, and the attitude is very solemn.

Wang Wei understood in seconds, nodded slightly and said, "Mr. Fang, please lead the way."

……

The Liang army was as powerful as a broken bamboo, and within an hour, they captured the two small cities that guarded Suiyang City, which caused a great shock to the Wei army.

What's more, Chen Qingzhi cleverly used psychological tactics to deter the Wei army.

The first psychological tactic is to kill the soldiers of our army, pay for their lives with their lives, and execute them publicly.

The second psychological tactic is that the more you resist to the end, the worse the outcome of being captured will be.

The third psychological tactic is not to keep prisoners, but not to kill them, but to let the prisoners spread panic.

After this combination of punches, the remaining seven small cities around Suiyang City, after learning that Suiyang City closed the gates and prevented them from returning to their camps, all surrendered to Liang Jun voluntarily.

Some even took the initiative to send people to contact and donate the city before Liang Jun arrived.

The war progressed smoothly, Yuan Hao was overjoyed, and impatiently asked his few confidantes to recruit prisoners of war and set up a big camp across the Sui River.All of a sudden, the momentum of Liang Guo's Northern Expedition rose in an instant.

If counting the number of people, the "Northern Expeditionary Army" had tens of thousands of people at this time, and they were only able to fight, but only the [-] white-robed troops under Chen Qingzhi's command.

It was getting late, and today's offensive could no longer continue. The situation was far from the best that Chen Qingzhi expected, but the basic goal was also completed: to remove the strongholds around Suiyang and encircle Suiyang.

What he told the lieutenants to go to Suiyang one day was just to put pressure on them.It's like the bosses of later generations set a huge and difficult year-end goal at the beginning of the year. Without the wind of the market, it is basically impossible to achieve it with a "straw boat borrowing arrows".

But why set such a big goal?
Because people do things very well as expected, and if they can do six or seven points, it is already very good.The "six to seven points" is the real goal to be achieved.If you aim for this, you can only achieve six or seven of six or seven!

Chen Qingzhi, who is well versed in psychological tactics, will not even understand this most basic truth.

Not far from Suiyang City, there was a small city built by the Wei army. Chen Qingzhi looked up at the somewhat "tall" Suiyang City in comparison, and remained silent.

The combination of quick whirlwind and psychological tactics has a miraculous effect on those small towns with few garrisons and weak defenses.But for a big city like Suiyang, it is not so easy to use.

At the very least, the siege equipment is not very powerful. If the enemy knocks down the attack a few times, the psychological advantage that has been established with great difficulty will be offset.

The longer the battle dragged on, the more prepared the Northern Wei Dynasty would be.

Chen Qingzhi turned his head and asked a tall soldier beside him, "Yang Zhong, I didn't let you be the vanguard in the previous few battles, do you have any objections?"

His name is Yang Zhong, and he was born in Wuchuan Town, Six Towns.In order to avoid the war, he lived in Zhongshan with his father Yang Zhen, and then when he went south to Mount Tai for fun (or for investigation), it happened that the Northern Expedition of Liang Kingdom came here.That wave of Liang Guo gained quite a lot, and most of the Taishan Yang family who were still in the Northern Wei Dynasty at that time turned their backs.

Liang Jun captured Yang Zhong, and it happened that Chen Qingzhi was also in the army at that time, so he recruited Yang Zhong to serve as a personal soldier under his command.He admired Yang Zhong's outstanding martial arts skills, profound knowledge, magnanimity, and the talent and strategy of a general.So he took him with him and trained him carefully, never letting him participate in front-line battles.

"Captain, Yang Zhong has been with you for several years, and you have taken care of him. I have not repaid you a great favor. Today I will enter Suiyang to persuade Yang Chun to open the city and surrender."

Yang Zhong cupped his hands and said in a very steady tone.

Chen Qingzhi nodded slightly, talking to smart people would save a lot of brain cells from being sacrificed.As soon as he started, Yang Zhong knew what he was going to do, what a child can teach!

"Yang Chunhongnong was born in the Yang family, so you're still of the same family. If others try to persuade you to surrender, you will inevitably be killed, but it's different if you go. Even if the persuasion fails, at least your life will not be in danger.

How about this, I write a letter, as long as Yang Chun Kaicheng surrenders, I guarantee that everyone below him will be safe.It was Beihai Wang Yuanhao who surrendered, not me, Chen Qingzhi. If this is the case, they will probably accept it. "

Chen Qingzhi said calmly.

"Here! The final general will definitely be able to persuade Yang Chun to open the city and surrender."

Yang Zhong saluted solemnly.

"Let's go, soldiers are precious and fast, we still have a lot of fierce battles behind us, we really don't have time to delay here in Suiyang."

Chen Qingzhi patted Yang Zhong on the shoulder and said.

……

"Brother Fang, I didn't say that, this prefect Lin, hehe."

After a few glasses of wine, Wang Wei and Fang Xiang became acquainted.He squinted his eyes and continued: "The way to take death, I don't know if Brother Fang has heard of this word, tsk tsk."

Wang Wei shook his head and sighed as he spoke.

"Let me tell you this, Xing Gao will definitely come during the spring plowing. What will you do then? The county soldiers will go home to farm. They won't give up spring plowing because Xing Gao is coming, right? Xing Gao If they don't come for a day, they will just dawdle in the army?
Others don't know what these people think, doesn't Brother Fang know?They are just making a living in the army, winter is tough, so why don't they go home and eat themselves? "

The county soldiers have no benefits, no share of the spoils of war, and they are easy to die.But there is one good thing, that is, the food is included!
Winter is slack, and there is no game around, let alone catch fish in the frozen river.If Zhuang Laoli is at home, he can eat food stored at home, and it will be different to be a county soldier.

Although there is no salary, three meals are included!

However, after the beginning of spring, it is the busy season for farming.The county soldiers whose morale is still very stable in winter, all they think about is the farm work at home. How can you expect them to fight Xing Gao at that time?
"Prefect Lin relies on his own private army, which is strong, alas!"

Fang Xiang sighed, he didn't know if he should say something or not.

Many of those who drowned were able to swim, and the more they got into the tide, the less they knew the heights of the sky and the depths of the earth, and it was too late when they cried.

"Actually, Jinan County is still far away from Xing Gao's occupied area. Many people in Jinan County think that Xing Gao's spring plowing may not come to Jinan County. As long as the spring plowing passes, everything will be fine."

Fang Xiang said with some uncertainty: "But there are many things, how can we say for sure, isn't there a saying that what you are afraid of will happen."

Wang Wei snorted softly and said: "Xing Gao will definitely come to Jinan County when he is plowing in spring. There is no accident, they will definitely come."

Will definitely come?
Fang Xiang was a little puzzled when he heard it, and he asked doubtfully, "Why is Mr. Wang so sure?"

"It's nothing but but, I said I will definitely come, and I will definitely come."

Wang Wei smiled mysteriously. Although he drank a bit too much today, he would not say what he shouldn't say.

For example, send someone to Xing Gao to inform the other party that the defense of Jinan County is empty and the food and grass are sufficient.If you tell Fang Xiang about such a thing, it will be a shame!

"Mr. Wang, I have heard about what happened in Dongping County. I don't understand. If Dudu Liu leads troops to Jinan County, how will he deal with the children of the aristocratic family in Jinan County?"

Fang Xiang asked in a deep voice.

"How to deal with it varies from person to person."

Wang Wei drank the wine in his glass and said: "We only deal with local tyrants and evil gentry, for enlightened families and families willing to cooperate deeply with us, not only will we not deal with them, but we will show them a clear path.

Of course, the road is there, whether you are willing to go or not depends on personal choice.

What did Fang Xiongtai think?Do you want to walk the bright road, or follow Taishou Lin to the dark? "

Wang Wei asked meaningfully.
