Governor please stay

Chapter 197 Success in Disorder, Failure in Arrogance

Xing Gao went crazy, running wildly in the mud, without any image at all.

The army under his command suffered countless casualties, and the rest of them, in fear, directly surrendered to the search team sent by Liu Yishou.After questioning these people, they found out that the reason why they did not choose to escape was because they were frightened by the mountain torrent and the vague providence behind them.

You can't stand in front of a person who even God helps, especially those who serve as soldiers and eat food.

The menacing Xing Gao army, who vowed to take Jinan County, was defeated inexplicably, lost to God's will, and lost to the current situation.

It took a few days to capture the prisoners, rescue Zhao Gui's troops in the collapsed Juhe City, and rescue the victims in the surrounding areas.Xing Gao was easily captured. Liu Yishou led his troops back to Licheng for repairs, and sent someone to Linji City on the north bank of Jishui to inform Li Yuanzhong and others that they could start going to Gwangju.

Liu Yishou not only sent a messenger, but also sent Xing Gao himself as a "meeting gift" to the other party.At the same time, he also wrote to Yuan Ziyou in Luoyang.

In the letter, Liu Yishou told Yuan Ziyou that the main force of Xing Gao's army was mostly wiped out after three battles.Li Yuanzhong and others are leading troops to occupy territories in Gwangju and Beihai, everything is under control!
In order to facilitate Li Yuanzhong's work, Xing Gao was specially sent to the other side's camp.After Qingxu is completely calmed down, Li Yuanzhong and Feng Longzhi will take Xing Gao and some prisoners of war to Luoyang for an audience, and I, Liu Yishou, have nothing to do.

The area to the west of Jinan County is still within the attack range of Yang Kan's troops, and this "war" with Xing Gao's army has caused heavy losses and needs to be repaired. Therefore, Liu's army cannot return to Luoyang King Qin, and must be in Licheng Trim for a while.

Finally, please rest assured, Your Majesty, Li Yuanzhong's troops are brave and good at fighting, and they are diligent in the affairs of the king, and they will surely keep Luoyang safe.

After sending the letter away, Liu Yishou didn't know what would happen to Yuan Ziyou, but he expected to feel a little better, but Li Yuanzhong and Feng Longzhi's moods were probably more subtle.

In the past, it was possible to make soy sauce reasonably. After all, military operations are very dangerous. Xing Gao is still alive, and the risk of them going deep alone is also very high. They can delay time (in fact, wait for the result of the Battle of Xingyang) and say that the troops are repairing.

But now that Xing Gao has been sent to your camp, he is the best tool to persuade the enemy to open the city gate.Everything is ready, but you still don't move, do you want to rebel?This is somewhat unreasonable.

Liu Yishou's "backhand praise" really put Li Yuanzhong and his gang on the fire, neither advancing nor retreating, there was no choice at all.

And the impact of this battle slowly began to ferment, becoming far-reaching and long-lasting.

……

In an elegant courtyard in Licheng, there was a stack of letters on a stone table. Liu Yishou and Wang Wei were sitting opposite each other, and they were reading letters and invitations from all over the country, including Jinan County.

"My lord, this battle is really the power of gods and ghosts. No matter the enemy or us, they are all worshiped. According to Xing Gao's own soldiers, the reason why Xing Gao raised troops in Qingzhou was because someone bewitched him that Qingzhou has a kingly spirit and can rejuvenate the Han Dynasty. , so Xing Gao pretended to be King of Han.

He, a fake king of Han, would naturally lose when he met the real king of Han, the governor.Landslides and ground cracks, that is God's punishment for him. You can't take what you don't deserve. How can a fake king compete with the real king?God can't bear to watch this. "

Wang Wei said triumphantly, Liu Yishou saw that his face seemed to have a loyalty score of 100 and the data overflowed, so he sighed helplessly: "These mysterious and mysterious things are not enough to be believed.

There is only one thing that Xing Gao lost: he succeeded in chaos and lost in arrogance. "

"Sangluan? Arrogant?"

Wang Wei didn't understand.

"Xing Gao was able to succeed because of the chaos in Hebei, and Ge Rong drove some Han people into a corner. They couldn't get along with Xianbei in the Six Towns, and they couldn't beat Ge Rong, so they went south to Qingxu.

So Xing Gao took advantage of the situation, and all his strategies were to please these people, so he was able to succeed and threaten Yuan Ziyou. "

Liu Yishou put the letter in his hand on the table, and continued to explain patiently: "It's just that when Yuan Shikang and I went out to survey the terrain, we met local people. When these people heard about our identity, they were overjoyed. He dragged us to his house for dinner. Why? Because we allocated the fields to him, and we also punished the family members who committed crimes in Jinan County.

Their attitude towards us is a sincere welcome.But if Xing Gao comes, what do you think Xing Gao will do to these people? "

What else can you do, smash and grab a dragon, if you don't grab it, how can you please the people in Hebei, after all, money will not fall from the sky.Only by grabbing what is in the hands of others, will you have more in your own hands. This is an eternal truth.

Wang Wei sighed softly and said, "Indeed, Qiu Ba and the others don't know how to reason with foreigners." These days, neighboring villages would organize fights for water sources, let alone strangers?
"We visited that man's village and found out a lot of news about the high slope in the west section of Juhe City. One thing that bothers me is that this steep slope is not like it was in ancient times.

According to the villagers, almost every heavy rain in that place, a small piece of this slope will be gnawed off by the river. Do you know what this means? "

Liu Yishou asked with a smile.

"If there is flooding, nine times out of ten there will be landslides!"

Wang Wei's complexion changed drastically.

Liu Yishou continued to ask: "If we lay an ambush here, what will the nearby villagers do if they find out? If they find out our identity?"

Wang Wei thought for a while and said, "They will kindly remind us that the ambush here is very dangerous."

"Yeah, that's right. Because they know that if we lose, they're going to lose their lives that were just getting better, and worse than they were before.

It can be seen from this that if Xing Gao really loves the people like a son and treats the people here kindly after he arrives in Qingxu, then even if I dig up the Wuyuan River, I won't be able to embarrass him.

He committed crimes in the early stage, but now he just pays back the capital with interest, it's not that God doesn't help him. "

In fact, there is another important reason. Liu Yishou didn't say it, and he didn't know how to say it.

Xing Gao was born in a wealthy family, talented and intelligent, and pretentious.People like this have always treated the people at the bottom as worthless, like cooking beans to burn Osmunda.

The Caomin on the enemy's side is Dou, and Qiu Ba under him is Douqi. To him, there is no difference, they are just numbers.Whether you live or die is not as important as your own great career.

Such a person, the eyes can only see the distance, but not the feet.

For example, a pampered patriarch, would he care how much an egg costs today?Will he pay attention to whether there will be mudslides in the surrounding mountains and rivers?Does he focus on which ponds get more fish?
No, because you rely on mountains to eat mountains, and you rely on water to eat water.Only poor people need to go up the mountain to cut firewood and fish in the water by themselves, while the elders of aristocratic families only need to sit back and enjoy what they get.They don't need to pay attention to how these things come from.

So even if the family members of Jinan County took refuge in Xing Gao, they could not remind Xing Gao that the slope to the west of Juhe City is a bit dangerous, and it will collapse when it rains!Because these people are typical people who eat minced meat, only those who live at the bottom will know where it is dangerous to cut firewood, where landslides are easy to occur, and which part of the river is easy to drown people.

After all, this is closely related to their lives, and it has long been engraved in their minds. Forgetful people have long been eliminated by the environment.

"An old saying goes: Meat eaters are contemptible, but they fail to seek foresight. There is some truth to this saying."

Liu Yishou said an irrelevant sentence inexplicably, Wang Wei nodded silently, trying to figure out the meaning of the other party's words at the moment, thinking about it for a long time, but he couldn't figure out why.

After this battle, not only him, but everyone under Liu Yishou's opinion of this coach has changed. The most important point is: this man has a destiny, and his future is limitless.

Or it can be compared to Liu Bang after killing the white snake, and Liu Xiu after the Battle of Green Kunyang.

When Liu Xiu fought in Kunyang and Wang Mang's new dynasty, there was an old story of a meteorite falling into the enemy's camp, which was recorded in the official history.Now when Liu Yishou and Xing Gao are confronting each other, the hill where the other party is (actually it is not a hill, but it is rumored that no one is paying attention to the truth) collapses, and they will be defeated without a fight.

It was even more exaggerated than what happened to Liu Xiu back then!After all, no one knows the authenticity of the historical records, but the deeds of the person in front of him are real.

In addition, Liu Yishou is also surnamed Liu, which makes it hard for people not to think about a certain dynasty.

The attitude of those big families in Jinan County has changed 180 degrees, and they have proposed to let the capable children of the family go out with the army.Before clearing up "excess acres" and digging and searching, they suddenly became extremely generous, wishing to donate all the acres that were later invaded!
Because these people know that once they hug Liu Dudu's thigh, then seeing how this one is favored by the heavens, his family will flourish!
Even Xing Gao gave away his head for no apparent reason, can you be more fierce than Xing Gao?

Just as the two of them were about to read all the letters on the stone table, Yuan Shikang walked into the yard, bringing Zhao Gui and Dugu Xin with him!Seeing this posture, Wang Wei quietly stood behind Liu Yishou, looked down at the ground, as if he didn't see them entering the yard.

"The two generals are here because of the landslide?"

Liu Yishou raised his head, looked at Zhao Gui and asked.

Zhao Gui tilted his head guiltily, and said insincerely: "That's true, we came to see the governor because of the collapse of the high slope west of Juhe City."

"The sword has no eyes, and the mountain torrent is ruthless. General Zhao encountered a mountain torrent in Juhe City, and his subordinates suffered heavy casualties. I am also very sad. I have ordered that the troops recruited by Qingxu should be given priority to General Zhao, and the scale is larger than before. There are 2000 more people, does General Zhao feel that my treatment is unfair?"

Liu Yishou looked at Zhao Gui with a smile, but the latter felt an unprecedented sense of oppression.Zhao Gui hurriedly cupped his hands, without wiping the cold sweat from his forehead, he said, "Xie Dudu, the recruits have already entered the camp and are undergoing training, everything is as usual."

"General Dugu is the first in this battle, and you are the second. Could it be that General Zhao thinks it's unfair for me to distribute military merits like this?"

Liu Yishou asked again, his tone still calm and gentle.

He was right, Zhao Gui came this time just to win a sigh of relief.After this battle, he had already fallen out with Dugu Xin.

This time, he was the one who suffered the most heavy losses, and no one in Dugu Xinbu died.

He was the one who carried to death in Juhe City for many days, he was the one who was frightened, and he was the one who was flooded in the end.All the hardships have been suffered, people have died, blood has flowed, sweat has also flowed, why is Dugu Xin radical work?

"The governor uses his soldiers like a god, and he is convinced. The mountain torrents cannot be controlled by manpower, and the casualties of our troops are not what the governor wishes.

However, the last general fought this bloody battle, out of emotion and reason, who in the army can compare?Why doesn't the governor let my department take the lead?This is not to fight for my own credit, but to fight for the breath of the dead! "

Zhao Guiyan said firmly.

It is true to say so, but, on the battlefield, the number of military exploits depends on who dies the most?

It doesn't seem to make sense either.

Liu Yishou looked at Yuan Shikang and said to him: "At that time, you were by General Dugu's side. Tell me about the situation over there. After all, I don't know what was going on at that time. When the flood came, I was still in the bedroom, and there was nothing there Order what to do."

Yuan Shikang looked at Dugu Xin, then at Zhao Gui, cupped his hands and said, "It rained cats and dogs that night. I asked General Dugu if he wanted to dig the dam to release the water. Once, if God does not take, you will be blamed.

So they ordered people to open the dam to release the water.

We are also very saddened by the deaths and injuries of General Zhao's subordinates, but General Zhao is also the one who leads troops, so he naturally understands the truth that compassion does not command troops.No matter whether it is Dudu Liu or General Dugu, it is impossible for them to predict that the flood will destroy Juhe City.

If time is turned back again, I am afraid that General Dugu will still choose this way.It can be said that without this decisive decision, it is still hard to say who will win the game now.

So the first achievement this time was not that General Dugu led his troops to block the river, but that he was able to make a decisive decision on a rainy night.The final general believes that the military merit arrangement of the governor is very reasonable and there is nothing wrong with it. "

Yuan Shikang's words carried a lot of weight, and Zhao Gui's face turned red and white, and he could hardly find anything to refute.

"Captain, General Zhao has worked so hard this time, and he finally feels that his first contribution is really inappropriate."

Dugu Xin, who had been silent by the side, cupped his hands and saluted and said, "The commander-in-chief, please redistribute the military merits."

"The so-called military merit is to see who has the greater credit! If the one who suffers the most casualties is right, then in the future, the soldiers under my command will bleed like rivers? Wouldn't the chief generals regard the trilogy as a bargaining chip to earn military merits?" ?This wind can't last long!
What Yuan Shikang said was right, Duguxin's judgment on the night of the rainstorm was accurate, and his handling was decisive.Zhao Guihe's trilogy defended Juhe City without losing it, and fought bloody battles.This is the result of my deliberation, and you don't need to discuss it any further. "

These words were well-founded, Zhao Gui was bored for a long time, and finally bowed his hands, turned his head and left.Duguxin was embarrassed and wanted to catch up and say a few words, but felt that the other party didn't seem to pay any attention to him, so he stood there and sighed.

"General Dugu's performance in this battle is very good. Zhao Gui's Ministry has increased the establishment of 2000 people, so it will also increase the establishment of General Dugu by 2000 people to supplement the new army recruited by Qing Xu."

Liu Yishou encouraged, Duguxin was overjoyed, thanked him and left.Yuan Shikang also left the courtyard to guard the door.

After they all left, Wang Wei asked with doubts on his face: "My lord, is your plan to kill three soldiers with two peaches too obvious?"

"Two peaches kill three warriors?"

Liu Yishou was slightly taken aback and said, "No, I'm fair, so it doesn't seem like I'm trying to sow discord?"

Wang Wei understood in seconds, nodded slightly and said with a smile: "No, I just thought about it too much, and the governor definitely didn't mean that."
