Governor please stay

Chapter 196 The Heaven who killed me is not the crime of war
Liu Yi's orderkeeper released some of the captives in Xing Gao's army. Under the guidance of "people with a heart", some of these captives came to the camp of Xing Gao's army outside Juhe City.

Well, although there are only half of the soldiers and horses inside, it looks a bit empty.

The general who was in charge of making the siege equipment learned that the captives had been released, and quickly sent someone to send them to the high slope where Xing Gao was. Xing Gao also learned the message Liu Yishou asked these people to convey from the returning soldiers.

He will lead people to lift the siege of Juhe City on a rainy night!

"A fool's dream! Who does he think he is? He thinks that as long as it rains, we are all blind and deaf? Bows and arrows don't work when it rains, but swords still work!"

Xing Gao was so angry that his seven orifices were filled with smoke, and he felt extremely angry at Liu Yishou's delivery of such news.Soldiers never tire of cheating, he felt that Liu Yishou was trying to bluff him.

"King of Han, this Liu Yishou has always been cunning. We would rather believe what he has than believe nothing. If it rains heavily to attack them, it is true that the heavy fire oil we used to ambush them, and the bows and arrows cannot be used. It is not surprising that Liu Yishou is so decisive. What is weird is that he Deliberately send someone to tell us about this."

A lieutenant beside him said to Xing Gao cautiously.He lowered his eyebrows and looked pleasing to the eye, not daring to show the slightest complacency on his face.

"You're not unreasonable."

Xing Gao shook his feather fan and stared ahead, as if he was thinking about something.Although he looked calm and calm, his thick dark circles had already betrayed the true state of his heart.

Since the last defeat in Pingyin, Xing Gao seemed to have lost his vigor of the past. He dared not implement many wild and unconstrained ideas, or even bring them up for discussion.

"Come on, set up my commander-in-chief flag on a high slope. We don't need to ambush. Tell Liu Yishou plainly now that someone from Xing is waiting for him here. If you have the guts, lead your troops to Juhe City Rescue!"

From the west to Juhe City, there is only one road.If you want to go from the east, you need to bypass many mountains, rivers and roads. Such a big movement has been discovered long ago!

It can be said that whoever seizes the high slope to the west of Juhe City first will take the strategic initiative.Xing Gao decided to set up the commander-in-chief flag to expose the location of his hidden soldiers. In fact, he was also an open-minded challenge to Liu Yishou.

I'm standing here, if you have the ability, you lead your troops to attack!

"King of Han, at the turn of spring and summer, it's easy to rain heavily. Why don't we retreat first, the enemy army will surely relax. Then, taking advantage of the heavy rain, we attack Juhe City in turn. Isn't it easier to succeed?"

Another person under Xing Gao's command asked tentatively.

However, this idea did not impress Xing Gao. He waved his hand and said to the person who had suggested just now with no expression on his face: "One effort, then decline, and three exhaustion. After we retreated, our morale was seriously injured. We want to attack Juhe City on a rainy night." , easier said than done, aren't you afraid that the soldiers will mutiny at that time?"

Xing Gao took out a letter from his cuff, which was written to him by his cousins ​​from other branches of his family. It probably meant that if Chen Qingzhi conquered Xingyang, then the entire Hebei family would support you again and maintain the same relationship with the current imperial court. distance.

After Yuan Hao takes control of Luoyang, they will operate and join the system of Wei Guoxin Army, and mediate from it, sending people to Qingxu Zhao'an.

At that time, you, Xing Gao, were the "King of Qingzhou" dominating one side, and you were no longer a thief.

The letter didn't say what would happen if Liang Jun didn't conquer Xingyang, most likely they would tear themselves apart, and the Hebei family would formally turn against Xing Gao's army and join the army to wipe out the "Qingxu Rebellion".

So Xing Gao actually has a lot of worries and hesitation in his heart, wandering between certainty and uncertainty.But there is one thing he is very sure of, that is, the current offensive and defensive battle with Liu Yishou's army is actually "morale can't be discouraged". This is not just a military issue. Once it retreats, there will be serious political consequences.

If the CEOs of those start-up companies in Liu Yishou's previous life did not perform well, the investors would withdraw their capital.There are so many people jumping from the rooftops, there is no shortage of some unlucky ones.

Xing Gao has already seen clearly the pissing nature of the family members in Hebei.If he withdraws now, what attitude will the people of the Hebei family have towards him, will they think that he is strong in the outside but in the middle?
Everything is possible.

"King of Han, in fact, there is nothing wrong with us storming Juhe City and gnawing it down, just to kill more people."

The lieutenant beside him who had been silent all this time couldn't help but offer a suggestion.

"Before we stormed for one day, we lost troops and lost generals, Juhe City is still there, do you have the face to say that?"

Xing Gao waved his hand impatiently, if possible, why wouldn't he want to storm the city?The problem is, that's not Licheng!This is just a small military city without oil and water. After it is captured, the soldiers can't maintain their morale by looting.

What's worse, the fiasco in Pingyin had seriously shaken his prestige.The army besieged the small town, and it was difficult to pull it out. This does not show that Xing Gao "uses soldiers like a god".

On the contrary, the soldiers below could vaguely see that he, Xing, was at the end of his rope.

For the "Forbidden Army" of Wei State in Jinan County, Xing Gao's goal is not only to win, but also to win beautifully. There is nothing to say about winning the people below.

It's not what he wants to push forward with a little bit of self-destruction.

"If the order continues, the Wei army may climb the mountain at night to steal the camp, or set fire to the mountain. Prepare more sand to extinguish the fire, dig more soil, and send more people to patrol day and night.

This is not Jieting, and I am not Ma Su.I don't believe that Liu Yishou can still attack from the bottom of the mountain! "

An important reason for the loss of Jieting is the lack of water in the lonely mountain, which is a taboo for military strategists.The high slope here is connected to the open space outside Juhe City at the rear, and it is also next to the Wuyuan River to facilitate water intake.

If Liu Yishou thinks that Xing Gao will be defeated like Ma Su, hehe, he is probably just sleeping and not waking up!
Xing Gao looked at the road on the west side of the hillside, and sneered secretly in his heart: Wait until it rains before taking action to decide the outcome?I want to see what tricks you play!
……

At the head of Juhe City, another siege by Xing Gao's army was repelled.Zhao Gui threw the blood-stained helmet on the ground, took the water bag handed over by his subordinates, and drank for a long time.

There are a lot of Xing Gao's troops outside the city, but they didn't use all their strength to attack the city, which is a bit like a cat playing with a mouse.At the beginning, Zhao Gui led the trilogy and traveled all the way from Tianshui to Zhongshan, Hebei. The road he traveled was probably more than the places Xing Gao led his troops through.

Don't be too easy to guess about this f*cking way to fight for aid!

Because of this, he reluctantly took what he said the last time he sent people back from Liu Yishou's side.

After all, the reality is right in front of us, how many people under my command can hold out for so many days in front of Xing Gao's army with absolute superiority!What does this mean? Of course it was acted out for Liu Yishou to watch.

But Zhao Gui also knew that Xing Gao's patience had a limit.Once he felt that Liu Yishou would not be fooled at all, it was self-evident what decisive measures he would take when he became angry.

"Captain, on the high slope to the west, Xing Gao's army raised the commander's flag."

A scout hastily reported to Zhao Gui.

In fact, he didn't need to say it, Zhao Gui, who was standing at the top of the city, turned around and saw it. This also indirectly proved that Liu Yishou's strategy of not leading troops to rescue was correct.If you bring people to come for reinforcements, you will definitely be ambushed on the way, and it will be very bad luck in all likelihood.

The rescue team was severely injured, and Xing Gao's army could let go of their arms and besiege Juhe City desperately.

"Liu Dudu predicted the enemy's opportunity first, he is really powerful."

Zhao Gui couldn't help but sighed.

It's just that he understands in his heart, but this kind of emotional relief can't change the severe situation at the moment.

"Send someone to Dunqiu City to inquire about countermeasures. I'm sure Xing Gao will not intercept the messenger."

Zhao Gui also decided to take a small gamble.

They went there on the same day, and the messenger returned the next day before dawn when Xing Gao's army had yet to besiege the city, and brought back Liu Yishou's message.

"On a rainy night, the outcome will be determined, and the battle will determine the universe."

Liu Yishou didn't have any other explanation, so he just said these ten words, and the messenger with the message repeated silently all the way, he could recite these ten words backwards!
"No more? Concealing the commander's order is a capital offense!"

Zhao Gui asked the messenger with a confused face.

"Back to the general, how dare you speak indiscriminately in a lowly position? Dudu Liu really only said these ten words. I begged him to say a few more words, but he didn't say a word. He waved his hand and let me leave."

Is it okay to play like this?
Zhao Gui pondered for a long time, these ten words, at most, imply that if he sticks to it until it rains, there will be a turning point.But what is this opportunity?Zhao Gui thinks that Liu Yishou likes to pretend too much!
"General, Xing Gao's army has attacked the city!"

The deputy general hurried into the stone house and told Zhao Gui.Zhao Gui had heard this sentence many times recently, he nodded helplessly and said, "Go, follow me to the tower."

Zhao Gui picked up his helmet and left. When he got out of the stone house, he saw that the sky was covered with dark clouds and was as gloomy as water.

"General, as the saying goes: heavy rain shines everywhere, but no rain shines on the head. Look at the bright light in the distance, I'm afraid it will rain heavily."

The deputy general showed off in front of Zhao Gui.

"Noisy! Go!"

Zhao Gui snorted coldly, but there was some anticipation in his heart.Is it true that when it rains, will the siege of Xing Gao's army be lifted?What is Liu Yishou going to do?

……

A bolt of lightning flashed across the night sky, fell to the ground, and disappeared before it touched the ground.Boom!The accompanying thunder came as promised, resounding through the sky.

Thunder exploded in her ears, and Er Zhu Ying'e woke up from her sweet dream. She touched her naked body, and the lingering sorrow before going to bed seemed like a moment ago.

And the person next to the pillow is no longer there, as if those were all a dream.But the limp and lazy body told her that Liu Yishou had indeed slept here before, and even made out with her.

Another flash of lightning flashed, illuminating the room through the paper window.It was only then that Er Zhuying'e realized that Liu Yishou was sitting alone in front of the table without lighting the lamp, which seemed a little strange.

"Alang, what's wrong with you?"

Er Zhu Ying'e got out of bed and hugged Liu Yishou from behind after wrapping up some clothes.

"Nothing, I'm waiting for news."

Liu Yishou said calmly.

"Then why don't you light the lights?"

Erzhu Yinge asked curiously.

Liu Yishou held her hand lightly, and said slowly, "I'm thinking about the meaning of the four words "Compassion does not control soldiers, and the light will interfere with my thinking."

What is this called?

Er Zhuying'e didn't understand at all, she was just a little interested now, and wanted to play a newly developed interesting game on the bed with Liu Yishou.

Just as she was thinking wildly, Wang Wei's yelling came from outside the door, from far to near, it seemed extremely urgent.

"Go to sleep, it's fine."

Liu Yishou was already fully dressed. He hugged Erzhu Ying'e to the bed, buried his head on her neck, took a deep breath and said, "A beauty is like jade, and the fragrance is overflowing. It's a pity that tonight is destined to be a restless night. Wait for me to come back."

"Eh? Then I'll be with you..."

Er Zhuying'e wanted to get up, but Liu Yishou held her shoulders tightly.

"I won't kill people tonight, but I'm the one with the most blood on my hands. Don't join in the fun of such an unsightly thing."

Liu Yishou's tone was very tough, Er Zhu Ying'e nodded slightly, and got under the blanket helplessly.

Out of the bedroom to the lobby, Yu Jin, Wang Wei and others have been waiting for a long time.Wang Wei was drenched, as if he had come in from the outside.As soon as he saw Liu Yishou coming, he said excitedly: "The landslide! The landslide! Such a big high slope collapsed just like that!

The flood below the high slope has also overflowed, and the low paddy fields have all turned into quagmire..." At this point, he suddenly remembered something, and he was stunned.

With such a large mountain torrent, is Juhe City still alive on the edge of the high slope?

At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door, and a scout wearing a coir raincoat strode in, threw the coir raincoat on the ground, and said to Liu Yishou, "The high slope in the west of Juhe City, after the collapse, , was washed away by the river again. The mountain torrent spread all the way to the camp of the Xing Gao Army outside Juhe City. Their camp was washed away, causing countless casualties, but..."

The scout hesitated to speak.

"Just what?"

"It's just that the city wall of Juhe City was also washed away by the flood, I guess..."

There is no need to estimate anything, this time Zhao Gui probably suffered a lot!
"Everything will be discussed at dawn. It is very dangerous to attack now. Pass on the order, and the whole army is ready to attack, but I will stay in the camp obediently."

Liu Yishou made a final decision, preventing Yu Jin and others from eagerly thinking about it.

……

After dawn, the torrential rain stopped, but the light rain continued to fall.

The "long dragon" road to the west of Juhe City has disappeared, blocked by the collapsed high slope.There are corpses lying in various positions everywhere, and some are half buried in the soil, showing half of their bodies.

Last night, the landslides and ground cracks, the embankments of the river burst and the unreasonable torrential rains, the soil washed away everywhere, the high slopes collapsed, and people died.The geological structure of the high slope is not all loess, but also has many large rocks.

At this moment, on a big rock in the middle of the road, Xing Gao was kneeling with blank eyes, staring at the rock, not knowing what he was doing.

"I'm right! I didn't do anything wrong! If I die, it's not a crime of war! If I die, it's not a crime of war! Hahahahahahahahaha!"

Xing Gao stood up, his hair was already disheveled, and his white robe was already mottled everywhere.

"I'm right! The fault is that the heavens don't open their eyes! I'm not wrong, it's the heavens who are sorry for me! Hahahahaha!"

Xing Gao screamed while running in the sand, laughing and cursing wildly, he... actually looked really crazy.
