Governor please stay

Chapter 184
What happened in Jinan County is nothing special.The tricks played by those aristocratic families were played badly by the Tian clan and Daiqi during the Warring States Period, but it was just a game of "small fights in, big fights out".

At the beginning, in order to buy people's hearts and prepare for public opinion and popular support to replace the Jiang family in Qi State, the Tian family called the grain they lent to the farmers in Da Dou, and when the farmers returned the grain, they called it Xiao Dou.Once back and forth, the farmers who borrowed grain naturally benefited a lot.

As a result, the Tian family gained the reputation of being "good at giving", and by the way, used loans to control many farmers.

The aristocratic family in Jinan County also played the same game, making the rent of tenants lower than that of self-cultivating farmers, telling the self-cultivating farmers that it is a burden for you to have land, why not sell it to us and be a tenant for our family, and pay less.

Such shenanigans are not worth mentioning.After Liu Yishou came here, he quickly took over the administration of the government, and promulgated a new law. The government only collected [-]% of the rent, and the tenants could redeem their land by "paying in installments" on the premise of their own will. It will be distributed by the government.

The price of the land is determined by the government, namely Liu Yishou.Of course, since there are too many lands that need to be bought, it is difficult to allocate them completely in an instant, so families who are eager to join the army can be allocated first, first come, first served.

All of a sudden, the poor people in Jinan County, who had no interest in Liu Yishou and the others, immediately began to join the army and actively cooperate with the government in various tasks!At the same time, many people spontaneously provided information to Liu Yishou and the others.

For example, which one had an affair with Xing Gao, which one was planning to do something behind the scenes, no one is stupid these days, can you get the benefits for free, do you feel at ease?
However, when things in Jinan County were progressing smoothly, Liu Yishou also encountered unexpected troubles.

In the study in the backyard of the Licheng government office, Liu Yishou frowned, looked at the three letters on the table, and let out a long sigh.

The first letter was a request for help from Yuan Ziyou. It said that Yang Chun was defeated by Chen Qingzhi, the leader of the Liang army in Suiyang, and lost 10 horses.Now Luoyang is only using a Xingyang line of defense in front of it. Whether it can withstand it is really a big question.So I hope that Liu Yishou will bring his troops to guard Luoyang.

The second letter was a battle report. The scouts sent by Liu Yishou wanted to get in touch with the prefect Lin who led the army, but in the end they found the battlefield where the county soldiers fought. In the abandoned Liangzou city, there were dead bodies everywhere, which was extremely terrifying.

So they brought back the battle report, speculating that the army soldiers in Jinan County who went on an expedition had suffered an accident and the entire army was wiped out.

The third letter was just received today.Li Yuanzhong, Feng Longzhi and others have been marching in Hebei, coming from the north.They are now stationed in Liaocheng on the north bank of the Yellow River, not far from Fufencheng.

There are only [-] soldiers under their command, but they are all elite soldiers, and they are private tribes from their hometown. There are many clansmen among them, and they are very united.

This letter is probably worried about being intercepted, so I didn't say much about it, but said that I hope to reply as soon as possible, and then Chen Yuankang will come to Licheng to discuss the specific battle plan.

Obviously, the situation in Qingxu has deteriorated to the point of overturning. Li Yuanzhong and others have no intention of playing tricks with Liu Yishou. Now it is not about whether to join forces, but how to join forces to form a joint force instead of being defeated. Destroy them one by one!

"Prefect Lin is really doomed. This is a typical example of local households teaming up to kill foreign households."

After Liu Yishou thought about it for a while, he understood the key points. The family members of the aristocratic family always had a lot of fun with this trick of borrowing a knife to kill people.As an outsider, the Qiu Lin family was a Xianbei outsider who moved south with Emperor Xiaowen, and Xing Gao, who was born in a Hebei family, was born to be at odds.

Because the state of Wei lost the legitimacy of ruling, the Lin family would also lose control of Jinan County. This was a price Xing Gao couldn't afford, and Lin Yuan had to fight hard with Xing Gao!

But the other aristocratic families in Jinan County, after learning that Ge Rong was destroyed, knew that it was impossible for Xing Gao to continue his original routine of suppressing Qingxu by following Hebei's force, because the refugees in Hebei all followed Ge Rong Rong's downfall, and settled down locally.

They no longer need to move to Qingxu!

Many things seem to be accidental, but in fact there is an inseparable necessity in them.

"It's really nerve-wracking how to choose."

Liu Yishou couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

Of course, going to Luoyang is an act of death, but this is not a way of "backtracking in time".Because once Xing Gao is powerful, even if he and Li Yuanzhong can't handle the opponent, returning to Luoyang is a good way out.

Moreover, sooner or later Xing Gao will have to fight Chen Qingzhi of the Northern Expedition.This was Yuan Ziyou's order, which was explained both internally and externally.

It's just that Liu Yishou felt very unwilling.Trading the future for the momentary stability of the present, even if it is a last resort, makes people feel sad.

Returning to Luoyang, it is inevitable that they will be controlled by Er Zhurong. It is easy to get on the pirate ship, but difficult to get off.

What will happen next?Well, with Yuan Ziyou's arrogance and recklessness, he will definitely get rid of Er Zhurong in a whimsical way, and who will be able to borrow his strength at that time?
Just thinking about it makes Liu Yishou feel chills down his back.

But Yuan Ziyou, whose mind is smaller than the tip of a needle, you can't ignore him. If this guy goes crazy and declares the army of Dongzheng Qingxu as rebellious, it will be difficult to make use of it later.

"Let's meet with Lao Kang first. The 200 people he gave back at the beginning are really very useful."

Liu Yishou put away the three letters. He had a crazy idea in his mind, which was not very mature yet and needed to be brewed.If the bet wins, Qingxu's strategic situation can be changed.

……

A day later, Boping City to the east of Licheng sent a report saying that Xing Gao's army had been found to the east of Lepan Mountain.So Liu Yishou asked Han Xian to take the Death Battalion as the rear team, and asked Yu Wentai, who had just arrived in Licheng, to lead the newly recruited soldiers from Jinan County to be the front team, and lined up on the official road between Lepan Mountain and Boping City. Box car array.

And he himself and Yu Jin led the most elite troops to ambush on the slope of Lepan Mountain, accompanied by Fang Xiang who had just been appointed as the prefect of Jinan County by Liu Yishou.

This scene is like a reversal of time and space, returning to the previous scene.The slight difference is that the people who led the troops down the mountain changed from the former prefect to Yu Wentai and Han Xian, and the people who led the troops on the mountain changed from Fang Xiang to Liu Yishou and Yu Jin.

"The soldiers in Jinan County are quite brave. Not to mention the elders in Jinan, many of their children died at the hands of Xing Gao. Our army will surely win this battle."

Liu Yishou looked down the mountain and said expressionlessly.

Fang Xiang glanced at him, then at Yu Jin where the old god was present, and found an excuse to escape.After he left, Yu Jin smiled and said: "The battle that happened not long ago actually appeared at the same place. Xing Gao is playing with us."

Isn't it just sending someone over on purpose to "give" a big victory?

"The previous time, I was not sure whether Lin Yuan was good at fighting, or Xing Gao deliberately let the water go. The recruits who have never cooperated before the battle today, if Xing Gao can't beat Yu Wentai and Han Xian, then I probably will I can figure out how he uses his troops."

Liu Yishou felt that Xing Gao was also a very interesting person knowing that this road was not easy to walk and that it was easy to be ambushed, but he deliberately walked this road, but he certainly didn't know that he and Yu Jin fought the whole way in the last battle. Watched it again.

The battle finally started, and Xing Gao's army rushed fiercely, once breaking through the formation of vans, causing a big gap.But the follow-up was weak, and the people who rushed to the front were gradually pushed back by Han Xian's death camp.Then Xing Gao's army went to raid Boping City...

On the slope of Lepan Mountain, Liu Yishou and Yu Jin looked at each other in blank dismay. Although it was the expected ending, Xing Gao's play was so fake that it made people speechless.

"Look, it's exactly the same as last time. According to the rules of the game, we should launch an ambush now, and then these people will be defeated and retreat all the way. Then we have gained the confidence to go out of Jinan County, and we will attack appropriately in the future. And then...no more."

Liu Yishou shook his head, how should I put it, no matter how good the routine is, once it is seen through, it will be like that.

"Order the general attack, don't play with him anymore."

Yu Jin sighed, feeling very tired.

There is nothing to say about the next one. The scene that was performed once was performed again. Xing Gao's army was defeated. After a "hard battle", Liu Yishou's soldiers successfully wiped out most of the invading enemies, and the rest fled eastward without knowing what to do. trace.

It was noon after returning to Licheng a day later. In the study in the backyard of the government office, Liu Yishou handed the three letters to Yu Jin to read. The latter read it for a long time without saying a word. I wondered if he had fallen asleep.

"I have already sent people to Liaocheng, and it is estimated that Chen Yuankang will come to Licheng in two days to discuss the joint operations between the two armies. However, even if we can sincerely cooperate, Xing Gao is not easy to deal with. Especially when he was in Yinyang last time He was slapped by me, and it is estimated that it will be difficult to catch him this time.

If they fought head-to-head, it would take hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers to destroy Xing Gao. "

The "war" just now was just sent by Xing Gao, so it couldn't be regarded as a serious contest at all.If he really thought that the opponent's elite was as strong as it is today, how could the opponent beat the imperial imperial army led by Li Shuren in the first place.

"You said, the prefect Lin was far-sighted when he played Jinan County. He just underestimated Xing Gao's strength. I was wondering, under what circumstances would Xing Gao get carried away?"

Just like the vanguard who "defeated" Xing Gao this time, Liu Yishou didn't think that the other party was useless, on the contrary, Xing Gao was extremely cunning.Conversely, Xing Gao will not lose vigilance easily.

"You said, if Xing Gao occupies Licheng, or even Jinan County, does he think he has won a complete victory?"

Liu Yishou raised a bold question.

Jinan County is one of the core parts of Qingxu Land. Occupying Jinan County will gain the exit of the Shandong Peninsula for conquest to the west.To the north is the Jishui River and the Yellow River, and to the south is the Taishan Mountains. In fact, this exit is much smaller than it looks on the map.

Occupying Jinan County, Xing Gao is like a dragon entering the sea. There are many roads for him to walk, and the roads get wider and wider!
"If Xing Gao gets Jinan County, what shall we do?"

Yu Jin was frightened by Liu Yishou's wild ways.

Xing Gao's army occupied Jinan County, so Liu Yishou and the others had to face Xing Gao's hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses directly, who could bear it.

"Just talking, you see, I didn't even bring my family to Licheng, just because I was worried that I wouldn't stay here for long."

Liu Yishou sighed. In fact, it is not difficult to give up Jinan County. The most difficult thing is to let Xing Gao relax his vigilance. How to make the other party believe that leaving Jinan County is not to lure the enemy. This is the most troublesome part.

Judging from Xing Gao's usual routine, this person is definitely not a reckless man. Although it is not ruled out that he has idiots under his command, as long as the person at the top is not stupid, the situation will not collapse.

"Look at how difficult it was for us to start, but the people we met were all difficult to deal with, alas!"

Xing Gao's hundreds of thousands of soldiers are really going to make Liu Yishou autistic. Even if there is an exaggeration, there are hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers.These people are not something you can dismiss with a wave of your sleeves, and they are not cultivating immortals!

"My lord, there is an urgent message from Luoyang!"

Yuan Shikang gently opened the door, handed the bamboo tube sealed with wax to Liu Yishou, and then quietly exited the room.Liu Yishou opened the bamboo tube and took out the letter, read it at a glance, sighed again, and handed it to Yu Jin who was beside him.

"How could the Liang army in the Northern Expedition be so vigorous?"

Yu Jin asked in disbelief.

The letter stated that Yuan Huiye, king of Jiyin, had brought [-] elite soldiers into Kaocheng (now northeast of Minquan, Henan). As for where the soldiers and horses came from, the letter did not say.Yuan Huiye thought that he would have no pressure to stop the Northern Expeditionary Army, not to mention defeat, at least the problem of defending the city was not a big problem.

Kaocheng is surrounded by water, and now spring is warm and flowers are blooming, and the ice and snow are melting. Facing the natural moat, Yuan Huiye thinks that Liang Jun has no good way to attack the city.

It is not a special thing for a powerful prince in the Northern Wei Dynasty to have [-] to [-] troops outside Luoyang City.

However, something magical happened again. Chen Qingzhi built a floating barrier on the moat, directly connected to the city, and then his white artillery army directly rushed in!
game over!

Yuan Huiye definitely didn't know that Chen Qingzhi's white-robed army were all fishermen from the water village, and they were best at operating on such floating barriers.It is estimated that in Chen Qingzhi's opinion, Yuan Huiye's level is not as good as Qiu Daqian who likes to build castles.

Now the Liang army is in full swing, and the Wei army surrendered without a fight along the way.Now Liang Jun's soldiers are pointing directly at Xingyang, and Fei Mu has gathered a large army in Xingyang, planning to fight Chen Qingzhi here!

Yuan Ziyou, who has a small mind and a small heart, was frightened by the ferocious white-robed army. He was also afraid that Fei Mu would sell him, and even more afraid that Er Zhurong would die, so he continued to urge Liu Yishou Hurry up and bring your troops back to rescue him!

"Uh, I remember if you said before that Liang Jun's Northern Expedition is going to attack Luoyang? You are really..."

Yu Jin almost said the word "crow's mouth".

"Chen Qingzhi is going to Xingyang...I thought of a way to break Xing Gao."

Liu Yishou tapped the palm of his left hand with his right hand and said, "Xing Gao must have thought that Qingxu was the only imperial imperial guard. Li Yuanzhong and the others were not very conspicuous.

So, when Chen Yuankang comes, I have to discuss it with him. This time, let them have fun. "
