Governor please stay

Chapter 204 Running away is shameful, but useful

In the spring of this year, the situation in Wei State has undergone earth-shaking changes. The ups and downs are even comparable to third-rate scripts written by brainless screenwriters.

First, Liu Yishou, who was not optimistic at all before, led the "Eastern Expedition Army", and wiped out the main force of the mighty Xing Gao army in three battles and three victories.Coupled with the fact that Ge Rong, who used to be known as "a million soldiers" in Hebei, had been defeated and captured, the situation in Wei State seemed to be gradually becoming clearer, and it seemed that he was still dying.

As long as the Liang army, which was completely outnumbered in Xingyang, could be repelled, and then take advantage of the situation to regain the land of Henan in one go, then it seems that the Wei State can restore its former territory, and it is still unclear whether the decline since the Six Towns Rebellion has been wiped out.

However, God made a big joke on Yuan Ziyou who was full of expectations.

Under Fei Mu's strong request for help, Yuan Ziyou issued an edict ordering Yuan Tianmu, who was stationed in Hebei, to go south from Fangtou with his trilogy and cross the river to Guandu, which is close to Xingyang, thinking that Xingyang would be aided.

If the isolated city is not guarded and there are strong reinforcements, Xingyang will be stable in this wave.Yuan Ziyou asked himself that this operation should be fine, after all, I have the advantage.

He also wrote letters to Fei Mu in Xingyang City, and even sent people to work.Because Chen Qingzhi had few soldiers and could not divide his troops to besiege Xingyang, Yuan Ziyou's envoys could come and go freely.

The guards in the city learned that the rescue of Yuan Tianmu's army was imminent, and Xingyang was separated from Xingyang by the Yellow River. Their morale was greatly boosted, and they all defended the city bravely.Yang Zhong led people to the top of the city many times, but they were pushed back. Even in this eager siege battle, Yang Zhong himself was injured in both arms so that he could not lead the army!
The battle situation continued to tilt towards the Wei army. At this moment, Liang Junli was on his way back home, and even the entire army was wiped out, and he was only one defeat away.

However, God doesn't seem to be on Wei's side.

One morning, Yuan Tianmu brought reinforcements to Wei Jun to cross the river. At this time, there was a sudden rainstorm without warning, and the water level of the Yellow River rose sharply, which made it difficult for Wei Jun to cross the river.

After Liang Jun learned that Yuan Tianmu sent troops to cross the river, Chen Qingzhi resisted all opinions and left the wounded in the camp. Regardless of the danger of the defenders of Xingyang City going out of the city to fight back, Chen Qingzhi led the main force of Liang Jun without any dry food and went straight into the rain. Attack Guandu on the south bank of the Yellow River.

Yuan Tianmu never expected that Chen Qingzhi would have the guts to fight a mobile battle between the Wei army with a cumulative number of more than [-]!The Wei army who was crossing the river was caught off guard and was defeated. Countless soldiers fell into the Yellow River to feed the fish, and were almost crushed and beaten by Liang Jun like chopping melons and vegetables.

The intensity of this battle was even far inferior to the siege battle of Liang Jun's attack on Xingyang.In the one-sided battle situation, Yuan Tianmu escaped to Hulao Pass alone, and even the soldiers around him died!
After the sky cleared, Chen Qingzhi piled up the armor of the Wei army and the heads of the dead bodies of the Wei army in a disorderly pile outside the gate of Xingyang city, which looked extremely terrifying.

He sent someone to shout in front of the gate of Xingyang City, saying that the Wei army's reinforcements had been wiped out, and the head was here.

Tens of thousands of Wei troops in Xingyang City were terrified from top to bottom, their morale plummeted, and some cities were completely unguarded!Even Fei Mu fell into shock, unable to restrain his subordinates for a while.

The reinforcements have been completely wiped out, can this Xingyang City still hold?Most of the Wei Jun in Xingyang City have the same idea.

Seeing the collapse of the morale of the Wei army, Chen Qing ordered a general attack, led by Song Jingxiu and Yu Tianmin, to attack the city from two directions. As a result, the resistance of the Wei army was minimal, enough to make Qiu Daqian, who is currently in a state of "community death", proud, at least He wasn't the worst player among Wei's generals.

The seemingly indestructible Xingyang City was easily taken down by Liang Jun when Yuan Tianmu "wasn't helping".Afterwards, when Chen Qingzhi talked about the matter with the injured Yang Zhong, they both felt that if Yuan Tianmu didn't come, it would take a lot of work to capture Xingyang City.

The news of the fall of Xingyang City spread to Hulao Pass, and Yuan Tianmu, who learned that he would be liquidated when he returned to Luoyang, fled alone to Heyang Pass, north of Luoyang, and wrote to Er Zhurong, saying that the situation in Gyeonggi was bad, and Luoyang Fearing that he will fall, he will gather the defeated soldiers and defend Heyang Pass to the death.

I also ask Er Zhurong to lead the army to a decisive battle with the Liang army, otherwise, the Wei State will fall soon, and there is no medicine to save it.

Even the main general ran away, and the general guarding Hulao Pass surrendered without a fight. Liang Jun once again easily occupied Hulao Pass, a key pass, and his soldiers pointed directly at Luoyang.

This series of changes was too fast and too fast. When Yuan Ziyou learned that he would soon be besieged by Chen Qingzhi's troops, he thought he heard it wrong.

……

In a renovated courtyard in Boping City, there was a strange smell of animal excrement.One after another chickens were kept in wooden cages stacked one upon another, and the sound of cooing and cooing was disturbing.

There are so many chickens in such a small space, Liu Yishou is also a little powerless to complain about Jia Sixie's "weirdness".

"My lord, this is the method of raising chickens that someone told me before. These chickens only take eggs and don't kill them. Spread straw in the wooden cage and then..."

Jia Sixie excitedly talked about his "chicken raising method", Liu Yishou silently pointed to his nose, and pointed to the door expressionlessly.Only then did Jia Sixie suddenly realize, and hurried out of the courtyard.

"This method of raising chickens should be specially made for egg retrieval. In the future, a large number of chicken eggs can be provided to farms, and there is no need to worry about being caught and eaten like free-range chickens. The only thing to pay attention to is chicken plague, which is also Nothing to do."

Liu Yishou said with a smile.

Jia Sixie didn't expect Liu Yishou to be so interested in farming, and he seemed to have found a confidant.He held Liu Yishou's hands tightly and said: "My lord is very right. Chicken eggs (eggs) are not meat, but they are easy to get. The poor can also eat them. They are also useful as food for the army. In the future, my lord will find a piece of meat." Great place to spread it out.”

What Jia Sixie said was right, the army would not be able to fight, let alone win, if they did not eat meat for a long time.Liu Yishou sighed in his heart, since he is a human being, he should pay attention to food, clothing, housing and transportation, which is the most basic.Nothing can be sustained by brute force and courage. Only when the productivity of the area under its jurisdiction is greatly developed can we think about more things.

This one in front of me is doing a very good job and will be of great use in the future.

"Don't worry, I will definitely give you a chance to display your ambitions in the future. Others laugh at you, but I won't laugh at you. As long as it's related to farming, I'll help you get whatever you want! You just have to ask!"

Liu Yishou patted Jia Sixie on the shoulder and said.

Jia Sixie quickly expressed his loyalty and vowed to follow Liu Yishou Yunyun to the death.

At this moment, Yuan Shikang ran over in a hurry, almost out of breath, looking like his wife had run away, um, although he hadn't married yet.

"My lord, the Liang army defeated Yuan Tianmu's reinforcements at Guandu, and then easily captured Xingyang City, which was already a frightened bird, and then occupied Hulao Pass. Now they are besieging Luoyang City!
All these things happened within a day or two, and the spies we sent sent the news immediately! "

Ok?
Liu Yishou was a little confused for a moment.

"Chen Qingyi finished these things in two days?"

"That's true, we didn't have time to prepare anything."

Yuan Shikang said bitterly.

Although Liu Yishou knew it would end like this, he still felt a little surprised when it happened suddenly.Even a little stunned.

Yuan Tianmu and Fei Mu are also considered to be Wei's famous generals, and Chen Qingzhi may have to go through a lot of trouble to fight individually.Now there are reinforcements outside and strong cities inside, and the military strength still occupies an absolute advantage.

This addition of one is not only not two, but directly returns to zero!

"Call all the people in Boping City to the lobby of the government office." Liu Yishou said to Yuan Shikang in a deep voice, and he greeted Jia Sixie again and said, "Mr. Jia, too."

As soon as he expressed his loyalty, Jia Siyuan was suddenly dumbfounded when he encountered such a thing that Wei Guo was about to perish.

……

In the lobby of the Boping City Government Office, the atmosphere is dignified.All the members under Liu Yishou's command were basically there, but no one spoke. Everyone was shocked by the news that Yuan Shikang brought.

Combined, Yuan Tianmu and Fei Mu's troops in Xingyang numbered more than [-]!This is not false reporting!This is almost one of the only two armies in the north that are loyal to Yuan Ziyou.

The end of this army meant that all of Yuan Ziyou's hopes rested on Er Zhurong of Jinyang.As for the others, it is also a choice for the Gao brothers from Hebei to seek refuge with Yuan Hao. It is self-evident what Li Yuanzhong and others will do to sweep up Xing Gao's remnants in Gwangju.

At least, these people have no reason to fight Yuan Hao.Even if Liu Yishou had a thicker skin, he could follow Yuan Hao and eat some leftovers.Only Er Zhurong, who was killing people in Luoyang back then, could not surrender to Yuan Hao.

Because Yuan Hao needs to use Er Zhurong's head to please those aristocratic families who were murdered by Er Zhurong.Of course, Liu Yishou's situation is not too good, maybe he is the second most unlucky person after Er Zhurong.

Unless he can "kill his wife to prove the Tao" and kill Yuan Juli himself to show that he has nothing to do with Yuan Ziyou's family.

"Captain, how should we deal with this time?"

Yu Jin looked at Liu Yishou, and asked a question that everyone wanted to ask: how to go in the future.

Now they can say that they are enemies everywhere. The imperial decree Yuan Ziyou gave before is no longer useful, and it will even become an excuse for others to attack you.

Everyone present, except for Liu Yishou, probably thought that Wei State was completely finished, at least Yuan Ziyou's Wei State was finished, and only the puppet Wei State controlled by Liang Guo was left!
Yang Kan, who besieged Yanzhou, should have "successful", after all, the winner has already been decided, and their Yang clan doesn't have to continue acting.

"You said, when we were in Jinan County, we fought very well with Xing Gao. In Wei's one-acre three-point land, we can be regarded as a strong team that is used to fighting, right?"

Liu Yishou asked thoughtfully.

Everyone nodded slightly when they heard this.What Liu Yishou said was right, their team is no longer the fish belly that was allowed to be squeezed by others.

"Let's not talk about how Wei Guo will change. Let's say that if others want to deal with us, at least 2 or [-] people will not die, and they won't be able to take it down, right?"

In troubled times, there are soldiers and horses who are the grass-headed kings, not to mention Liu Yishou, who has been "certified" as a person, can almost be regarded as a figure on the face of the Imperial Guard of Wei.To put it bluntly, which side Liu Yishou is now, at least has a decisive impact on Qingxu's situation.

"You say that it seems unreasonable for others to attack us without saying hello. Think about it, I ordered the imprisonment of the Yang clan before, and Yang Kan should have gotten the news.

The reason why he didn't come forward was probably because Yang Kan didn't know whether Liang Guo could defeat Xingyang.If Liang Jun was defeated, he might ask his cousin Yang Dun to do it.

But now, Yang Kan should feel that Qingzhou is at his fingertips, shouldn't he send someone to me to inquire? "

After peeling the cocoon, Liu Yishou turned his thoughts around, and came to the conclusion: Yang Kan should send someone to persuade him to surrender, and save his clansmen by the way, this is human nature.

"So, everyone who should train soldiers, prepare food and grass if they should prepare food and grass, and don't slack off. I believe that Yang Kan's lobbyist should come."

Liu Yishou soothed the emotions of the senior officers under his command, calmed down, and did not panic at all.

Wei Jun was defeated, such news would spread quickly, Liu Yishou did not believe that Yang Kan would remain indifferent.

Because of his indifferent handling, the army under his command can still maintain calm and order from top to bottom.It's just that Liu Yishou can't control what will happen in the corner that he can't see.You see Cao Cao is such an awesome character, countless subordinates wrote letters to Yuan Shao begging for mercy in the Battle of Guandu.

People's hearts are complicated after all, and we should not be too harsh on details and small favors.Liu Yishou has always believed that many things must be discussed regardless of the heart, and there are no good people in the world, which will inevitably lead to panic among the subordinates and everyone's self-insecurity.

Sure enough, two days later, a lobbyist from Yanzhou came to Boping City, who actually had some connections with both Liu Yishou and Yu Jin.

In the study room in the backyard of the government office, the envoy sent by Yang Kan bowed deeply to Liu Yishou and said, "Liu Dudu is a young hero, but he was able to lead an army at a young age, and he was able to fight in Qingxu. I admire him very much."

This person is about forty years old, with a handsome appearance and a smile on his face, but he looks a bit slavish and lacks a sense of integrity.

"Xu He, just like Zheng Yan, you understand what the Empress Dowager Hu is about."

Yu Jin whispered in Liu Yishou's ear in a barely audible voice.

"Well, let's not talk about gossip. Your name is Xu He, and now you are a lobbyist for General Yang Kan. Well, you can talk as much as you want, and I won't interrupt you."

Liu Yishou said generously.

"Since General Liu understands righteousness, let me just say it directly. The government of Wei State is corrupt, and the people are in dire straits. General Yang wants to save the people of Qingzhou and Xuzhou from fire and water, so..."

"Get to the point, don't talk about those scenes!"

Liu Yishou shouted in a low voice!
"General Yang hopes that General Liu can bring the trilogy and join Liang Guo together. Of course, he will bring the two states of Qing and Xu together as a means of establishing himself."

Xu He put away his smile and said seriously.

Liu Yishou and Yu Jin looked at each other, and they both had a clear look of "as expected".

"As for Yang Kan, I don't know your ability, but I know it. You are very talented. Only a place like the center can show your ability."

Liu Yishou held Xu He's hands and said, "Your Excellency can consider doing things for you in the future. As a gift, I will write a handwritten letter as a proof. If I can tide over the difficulties, then I will offer Your Excellency a hundred catties of gold with both hands.

Now your Excellency will go back and tell Yang Kan that to recruit me, you need to show sincerity, not empty talk.Promise Your Excellency's generous gift, and I will never break my promise. "

After finishing speaking, he immediately wrote a piece of paper and handed it to Xu Hedao: "A person who is good at planning can climb high. But a person who is good at planning can live a long life, isn't it?"

As if holding a poisonous snake in his hands, Xu He immediately put the paper back into his cuffs, breathing heavily, and looked at Liu Yishou with complicated eyes.
