Governor please stay

Chapter 179 On behalf of the moon to punish them
The Xing family in Hejian (near Cangzhou, Hebei) is also a well-known family in Hebei.Xing Gao's cousin, Xing Yan, once served as the general of the auxiliary country, the chief history of Sikong, and the doctor of the Ministry of officials.The Xing Gao family was quite powerful in Hebei before Ge Rong's uprising, with many trilogy.

Some of them are in the court of Baidao, and some of them are in Wubao, the gangsters, they are grasping with both hands, and both hands are very hard!

So Xing Gao actually has some pride in his heart, which is fundamentally different from Ge Rong.Ge Rong is just a reckless man who has never read a book. When Xing Gao left Hebei and went south to Qingzhou, it was because although he couldn't beat Ge Rong's "million army", he looked down on this kind of person from the bottom of his heart. In the end, he had to give up. middle plan.

Ge Rong knew that he was a thief, so he also adopted a rough management method for his subordinates. Wherever he went, he wasted wherever he went. He didn't think about the future, let alone "three years of tax exemption".

However, Xing Gao is different. Others think he is a thief, but he himself does not agree that he is a thief.In Xing Gao's eyes, the so-called official soldiers of Wei State were nothing but thieves in military uniforms, and they were no different from him in essence.

In Xing Gao's opinion, Ge Rong is not as good as himself. Of course, Liu Yishou also agrees with this point. He thinks that Xing Gao is much more dangerous than Ge Rong who is illiterate.

With so many auras added to his body, Xing Gao looks like the son of destiny, but!

The fire is ruthless, it doesn't matter if you are Ge Rong or Xing Gao, whether you are the forbidden army of the imperial court or a refugee trilogy, it will burn whatever it encounters, it will treat everyone equally!

After the sound of the clay pot cracking, a pungent smell soon came.Xing Gao's heart sank in the cabin, he was too familiar with this smell.Among the materials seized from the treasury of the Wei State Mansion, there are many such things.

Fire oil!
It is made of a kind of "black oil" that emerges from the crevices of the stone, and is refined by adding certain things. It will burn when it encounters fire, and it will not be extinguished when it encounters water. It can only be extinguished by killing and burying it in sand.It is a must-have item for setting fire to the enemy's camp, or for the navy to fight water battles!
The Wei army is generally equipped with this kind of thing, and even decent county soldiers can come up with some stocks.This thing is not an invincible existence, but it also depends on where it is used.Used in the right place, it is more powerful than a hundred thousand troops!

"Someone wants to attack with fire, send an order, the front team will change to the rear team, withdraw from the waterway to Qinghe (Yellow River), and then disperse separately!"

Xing Gao's cry was still in their ears, and everyone saw the torches all over the sky through the hanging window of the cabin, throwing towards the ships, like a meteor rain, it was so beautiful!

Just like the last glory in life!

"My life is over!"

Xing Gao murmured something in a low voice, and sat on the ground limply, not wanting to move anymore.

It's over, this time when our army was most vulnerable, in the most dangerous location, at the most critical time, it was ambushed by the most despicable opponent with the most deadly means!

Everything is over, Xing Gao hardly needs to think about it, his ship is the head, presumably the boat on the tail has also been tossed with fire oil, to "chop the head and remove the tail".

This narrow waterway is blocked by the pontoon bridge. If we retreat, I am afraid that the soldiers have not reacted yet!
For the first time, Xing Gao felt a sense of powerlessness that "skills are inferior to others", but this time he was convinced by the defeat.Unexpectedly, there are such people in Jinan County.

It's so fierce!
He was still thinking that the soldiers in Jinan County were stupid enough to leave their lair in Licheng. He didn't expect them to be waiting for him in this river.After laughing all the way, I realized that the clown turned out to be me!

There was a self-deprecating smile on Xing Gao's face, and he sighed and said, "Thinking of my famous name, Xing Zhongming I, I am going to die in this stinky ditch, alas!"

The ship he was on had already started to burn blazingly.The enemy seemed to be worried that the fleet would run away, so he focused on greeting his ship, throwing enough fuel.

The wood on the second floor of the boat had begun to burn and collapse, and the air in the cabin had begun to become hot and pungent.

This series of changes was nothing more than an instant.

Xing Gao's personal guard saw that his lord was frightened, so he quickly grabbed Xing Gao's arm and shouted loudly: "My lord, let me wait for you to leave here. As long as my lord leaves safely, I will take you with me in the future." The army will avenge me!"

The fool also understands that they will suffer a lot today, and it is difficult to escape from this place without peeling off their skin!

Ge Rong is unpopular, even among his own people, he is notoriously a fool.But Xing Gao is different, Xing Gao is very popular!Because the refugees in Hebei followed him, oppressed and plundered the locals in Qingzhou, and made enough money.

Those refugees changed from slaves and tenants to lords, and they didn't pay their grain for three years. All these were given by Xing Gao, so how could they not die for Xing Gao!

What Liu Yishou admires most among his subordinates is that he never looks at others according to his own impression, but draws real conclusions through actual investigations, and then adopts different strategies to deal with them.When he investigated the composition and policies of Xing Gao's team, he knew that the Qingxu family's county soldiers were definitely not the opponents of Xing Gao's refugee army.

It is not uncommon for the ordered few to defeat the disordered majority.What's more, Xing Gao is already considered an "orderly majority"!This is an existence that can completely overthrow the Wei State if you are not careful. How can those fat-minded family members deal with it?
Xing Gao was escorted out of the ship by his own soldiers, and the long snake fleet was burning everywhere.The unburned ship was ignited by the burning ship, and it could not advance or retreat.

The soldiers who jumped into the water were stabbed to death by the long bamboo poles protruding from the array.Those people stayed far away, not only stabbing with scary-looking bamboo poles, but also throwing cold arrows despicably.Many soldiers of Xing Gao's army were shot to death in the water like this, or they fell into the water and sank to the bottom before they had time to take off their armor.

Xing Gao jumped on the boats connected to each other, and his guards were shot to death one by one, stabbed to death by bamboo poles protruding from nowhere, and some disappeared after falling into the water.

Probably it was God's blessing, or maybe it was amazing luck.He saw a small boat that was let down by his side, and the people on the big boat seemed to have fallen into the water before boarding the boat, or were choked to death.When he ran over there, the big ship had already been burned and slowly sank!
"My lord, get on board!"

The last personal guard by his side jumped onto the small boat, picked up a bamboo pole that floated from nowhere, stretched it out in front of Xing Gao and shouted: "My lord, hold on to the bamboo pole, if you don't leave, it will be too late." !"

Standing on the swaying ship, Xing Gao heard the howls and groans of the soldiers. He looked at the army that could only see a blurred figure under the light of the fire in the distance. He clenched his fists tightly and then released them. .

To be honest, although the surprise attack team I brought is elite, its number is not very large, only 5000 people.Because no matter how many people there are, it will be difficult to hide their tracks.

Isn't it just that the enemy has noticed the trace now?
It's really nothing for him to lose this little person, as long as he returns to his hometown of Guangzhou, he can be resurrected with full blood.

What hit people the most in this battle was not the loss of personnel and supplies, but the blow to his prestige in the army and his own self-confidence!
Although the damage is not great, it is extremely insulting!
After finally climbing onto the boat, Xing Gao picked up a round shield from the deck of a passing ship and protected his body.The guard who punted himself had already been shot with five or six arrows, and looked like a bloody man, but he missed the vital point.

"My lord, when you get out of the waterway, you will be Qinghe River, and when the time comes, go down the river..."

The guard was talking, when an arrow pierced his throat, he fell into the water without further words, and the water splashed Xing Gao's face.

From childhood to adulthood, this was the closest he was to death, bar none!

Xing Gao picked up the bamboo pole that hadn't floated away from the water, and started paddling desperately!There is only one thought in his mind: to live, to live!When he returned to Gwangju, he would no longer play any tricks or engage in surprise attacks.

He wants to lead an army of hundreds of thousands to flatten Jinan County, and he will be ashamed today!
On his right hand, burning ships sank and collapsed one by one, darkening the surrounding scenery.

Like a loach swimming in the ditch at night, the boat quietly left the Yinyang Canal.When passing the boat at the farthest end, I could only see the wood burning on the surface of the river, covered with fire oil.

The boat slowly moved away from the burning area of ​​the fleet, and Xing Gao looked back. It seemed that the place had become a hell on earth, and the screams still faintly lingered in his ears, refusing to dissipate for a long time.

"Sure enough, they cut off the head and the tail. These people are cruel enough. They don't want to let a fish go. They don't know who the leader is."

Xing Gao sighed.As he expected, the enemy army ambushed their troops at both ends of the ambush circle, blocked the road with solid pontoon bridges, and then approached the middle of the fleet, fighting all the way.If it weren't for this kind of formation, I would really be unable to fly today.

"There are capable people in Jinan County, it's not easy to fight this battle."

Xing Gao shook his head, only to realize that he was so frightened that he peed his pants all the way, and now his legs are shaking all the time.

……

Taking 2000 people to an area that is still under investigation is too risky.Although Liu Yishou said that it would be fine for Yu Jin and the others to take their time with the luggage, but who would really implement this?
Yu Jin asked Dugu Xin to escort the luggage, and when he marched to the ruins of Yuanmiao City with [-] soldiers, he saw Liu Yishou commanding the soldiers to clean the battlefield on the other side.

There is no doubt that Liu Yishou brought 2000 people here, not only fought a battle, but also won it.Because according to the unwritten rules on the battlefield, only the winning side is eligible to clean up the battlefield.

Yu Jin saw that there were still many people brought by Liu Yishou, at least more than 1000 people. It seemed...the casualties were very small?
What kind of battle is this!Being a little far away, Yu Jin just felt that the other side was in a mess. As for what happened, it is still unknown.

Full of doubts, Yu Jin asked his subordinates to camp at the ruins of Yuanmiao City, and brought a few soldiers across Jishui to the opposite bank to meet Liu Yishou.

Once on the other side, he was terrified.

On the narrow river channel that came out of nowhere, there were countless corpses floating, as well as broken wooden boards, and occasionally black grease was seen on the river surface.

Piles of corpses floated to the side of the pontoon bridge that intercepted the river and piled up, layer upon layer, looking extremely terrifying.Liu Yishou sent people to bring all kinds of badly burned corpses to the bank on the pontoon bridge, and dig a pit to bury them on the spot.

Of course, the matter of beheading is indispensable.

Not only that, but there were arrows everywhere on the ground, long broken bamboo poles, and some burnt planks of buildings with holes everywhere.Liu Yishou was directing the soldiers under his command to take away all these usable things, looking tired and a little excited.

There was a big question mark on Yu Jin's head, and he wanted to speak but didn't know what to say.

"My dear brother, this is..."

"I fought against Xing Gao's men last night and won a complete victory. The captives are over there."

Liu Yishou casually pointed to the person kneeling on the ground waiting for interrogation in the distance, wearing a red military uniform he had never seen before.

"Xing Gaojun?"

"That's right, and it's the elite of the elite. The ordinary Xing Gao refugee army doesn't have uniform uniforms, but they do."

Yu Jin gasped, he never knew that Liu Yishou was so good at fighting.

"Xing Gao walked on the Qing River (Yellow River), then crossed this ditch, went down the river, walked on Jishui, and finally disembarked near Licheng, and attacked Licheng. His brain is really..."

Yu Jin doesn't know what the word "brain hole" is, but he also feels that Xing Gao's thinking is unconstrained, not like a mediocre person.If this trick hadn't been beaten to death by Liu Yishou when he was "charging his strength", it would be hard to say what the result would be.

There is a great possibility that the other party will succeed in the sneak attack, and then pass the news to Taishou Lin. Finally, the soldiers in Jinan County learned that the old nest was lost, and the square inch was in chaos.Afterwards, Xing Gaojun, who had been luring them all the time, would not feign defeat like before, but would fight back ferociously!
How it ended, there is no need to say more.

"Xing Gao's move is really wonderful! Even if it is hostile, I want to applaud him."

After trying to understand the cause and effect, Yu Jin sighed with emotion.

"Yes, but they are really getting carried away. At least when crossing this kind of river, they should send people to the shore in advance to see if there is an ambush, and then find someone to pull the rope and help the big boat pass the narrowest place. These are the right things, right?
If Xing Gao did it, how could he suffer such a big loss last night?You only live once, so don't make excuses for your failures. "

Liu Yishou shook his head and said.

He ambushed Xing Gao last night. In fact, there were many loopholes in the formation of the army.But if these are compared with the Xing Gao's fleet that thinks it is "invisible" and swaggers unprepared, it can be regarded as "carefully arranged".

On the battlefield, victory and defeat are all determined by comparison.You are powerful, and if you meet someone who is stronger than you, you will lose.You are very good, but you meet someone who is better than you, but you will win in the end.

"Xing Gao relied on refugees from Hebei to oppress and plunder the natives of Qingxu, regardless of whether they were rich or poor, high or low. It is really abhorrent. I am punishing them on behalf of the moon!"

Liu Yishou pointed to the mountain of corpses piled up on the side of the pontoon bridge and said plausibly.

"What is the moon and not the moon, don't worry about that. Now that Xing Gao is hurt, what should we do next? Is it just to be a good person?"

Yu Jin asked with some doubts.

That's right, hitting Xing Gao with a sap is indeed good for them in the long run, but the direct beneficiary is the prefect Lin of Jinan County!This time Liu Yishou can be regarded as being a watchdog for others for free!
"Since Xing Gao has no time to go to Licheng, let's go for him."

Liu Yishou blinked at Yu Jin and said, with a smirk on his lips.
