Governor please stay

Chapter 223 I understand what you said, but we are not going to usurp the throne
Let the time go back to the moment when Liu Yishou led his troops to the south. Yu Wentai, Wang Wei and others, with a small number of soldiers and horses who were not too elite, went north along Huan Gongdu and then arrived at Juyeze. Juye City in the south of the lake settled down.

Juye City is the gateway to the east of Rencheng. At first, Chen Yuankang asked the prefect of Rencheng to send [-] soldiers to garrison here. After Yuwentai and others successfully entered the city, they invited Wang Wei alone to discuss important matters in the signing room.

After all, at this time they have not shown any traces with great fanfare, and Liu Yishou has only made a general plan. How to implement it specifically, and how to implement Liu Yishou's confession of "speaking loudly and letting go" is not a matter of few words. Do it in place and be meticulous.

Moreover, Yu Wentai was very worried at this time, and he also vaguely felt that Wang Wei looked down on him a bit.

"Going north this time and setting up troops in Juye City, I am really uneasy. I ask Mr. Wang to teach me how to proceed along this journey."

Yu Wentai saluted Wang Wei sincerely.

Seeing the other party's low profile, Wang Wei was too embarrassed to continue making decisions.He touched his long beard, an inexplicable look flashed in his eyes, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"General Yuwen, don't panic. My lord told me to make the noise as loud as possible. In fact, it didn't mean that we should go all the way to conquer the city and kill the soldiers and horses on Yuan Hao's side. That's not the case."

The siege of the city seems to be really lively, but will Yuan Hao feel the pain?Not necessarily!

"What do you mean, sir?"

Yu Wentai didn't understand what Wang Wei wanted to do.

"Has General Yuwen thought about it, in fact, no matter how many cities we conquer, as long as we don't hit Xingyang, in Yuan Hao's eyes, it's just a disease of mustard moss. My lord said that we want to make noise on the northern line, rather than siege the city hard , It’s better to build momentum.”

Wang Wei said sonorously.

"Making momentum..."

"The so-called momentum is to plant more flags... so simple?"

Yu Wentai asked with some uncertainty, if this is the case, it would be too simple, even if Yuan Hao is a fool, there will always be smart people under his command!
"No, no, building momentum is not about setting up more banners, but about recruiting more troops."

Wang Wei said with a smile, with a calm look.

"Recruiting more troops? How about recruiting?"

Yu Wentai felt that talking to Wang Wei was too tiring, and the other party was always going around the corner.

In fact, Liu Yishou and the others really needed to expand their troops. If they hadn't strictly selected soldiers and strictly controlled the demand for supplies, it would not be impossible for them to expand their army by [-].The problem is that the number of soldiers is not so many but the essence. If so many people are needed, the combat effectiveness will not rise in a straight line.

Sometimes there are too many people but it is a drag.

Seeing that Yu Wentai didn't know what he wanted to say for a long time, Wang Wei shook his head in disappointment. Sure enough, there are still too few people like Liu Yishou.Yu Wentai can be regarded as good at fighting, why can't he understand what he said?

Seeing Wang Wei's expression, Yu Wentai quickly took the other's hand and said excitedly: "Mr. Wang is a talented person, please don't hesitate to enlighten me, I am very grateful!"

"Okay, okay, I said that's it."

Wang Wei put away his smile, looked at Yu Wentai and said seriously: "Puyang County in the northwest of Juye Ze, there are cities such as Chengyang, Lihu, and Chengshi, as well as a large village of Wubao.

Everywhere we went, we sent people to Wu Bao Nei, the deceased family, to ask if they would support us to go to Luoyang King Qin.

If you want, then let the private army in Wubao join us and give us money and food.We wrote letters of appointment for them, and appointed their family members as local officials, and the payment was made in the name of Yuan Ziyou.

Moreover, these grains, fodder and supplies were all borrowed by the imperial court. In the future, they could take them to Luoyang to ask Yuan Ziyou for them, or the state and county treasuries would gradually return them year by year. "

Can you still play like this?
Yu Wentai was refreshed the lower limit, he asked doubtfully: "What if those people ignore us?"

"We are honoring the king to seek rebellion and spreading the word to the world. If we ignore us, then we are Yuan Hao's lackeys. To deal with such lackeys, we must call on the local tenants to stand up and kill these local tyrants. , divide their fields. Then those tenants will naturally have someone willing to join us.

Is it so difficult?General Yuwen is also considered to have outstanding military exploits, wouldn't it be said that he couldn't even defeat Wubao, a family? "

It's not that he couldn't fight, but... for a moment Yu Wentai didn't know what to say.

He asked with some uncertainty: "In this way, isn't there no difference between us and Xing Gao and his like?"

"How can there be no difference? Xing Gao wants to be emperor himself, and we want to welcome Yuan Ziyou into Luoyang to restore the country.

When we killed people, Yuan Ziyou asked us to kill them.

We collect the luggage part, that is for Yuan Ziyou to enter Luo smoothly.

The borrowed food and fodder and the promised official positions are all for Yuan Ziyou's affairs, and everything is for his throne.

Firstly, we are not for promotion and wealth, secondly, we are not for burning, killing and looting, and thirdly, we are not for our own enthronement.Could it be that such a thing can't be called righteous? "

It really speaks better than it sings!I almost believe it!
Yu Wentai was at a loss for words for a while, not knowing what to say.I just feel that Liu Yishou's often-talked-about "a humble man is invincible" is extremely appropriate here.

"Think about it, there are grievances and debts, and those are all owed by Yuan Ziyou. After his return, he, the emperor, will come to clean up the mess, right?"

Wang Wei lowered his voice and asked back: "Is General Yuwen planning to spend his whole life in Luoyang?"

This is considered to be on the point, Yu Wentai suddenly realized.This is how people are. When you know that what you are doing is perfectly in line with your ultimate goal, no matter how unreasonable your actions are, you will have an excuse to convince yourself.

"Those lands were allocated to the tenants, and the land rent was exempted. In the future, someone will come to restore the land rent. They will be the ones who do evil. These tenants will only be grateful to us, right?"

Wang Wei's voice is like a devil from hell.

"The aristocratic family that got the promise of official position and the promise of benefits, if Yuan Ziyou can't satisfy them in the future, they will only hate Yuan Ziyou, and they won't put their hatred on us, right?
We have written it in black and white, but if Yuan Ziyou refuses to admit it, we will be helpless. We are ministers, and he is the king.We are so kind, but our ability is limited, we can't rebel, right? "

Wang Wei added another yard.In the end, he straightened his back and said impassionedly: "In the end, we have left a good name. When we come here again in the future, I am afraid that someone will welcome you and win food. , they are all dead, and the dead can't speak or take revenge, so why be afraid?"

"We dare to do what Xing Gao dares to do. We still dare to do what Xing Gao dares not to do! This time, for the great cause of our lord, there is nothing we dare not do. Anyway, we will go all out!"

After all this talking (washing) and convincing (brainwashing), Yu Wentai accepted Wang Wei's strategy, but there was still a big problem.

"If you say so according to the gentleman, recruiting soldiers and horses is not a big problem, even, we can conjure [-] soldiers and horses in a very short period of time.

But can such a team fight?If Yuan Hao sends capable men, and even calls on all the soldiers and horses under his control to encircle and suppress us, how will we get out? "

Yu Wentai is the leader of the army, and he is responsible for leading the army to fight.This problem can be said to be the core problem of this trip, not one of them.

"Why are we fighting?"

Wang Wei asked back.

This actually stopped Yu Wentai from asking.

Liu Yishou's mission doesn't seem to say that he wants to conquer the city or conquer Xingyang.Liu Yishou just said to make as much noise as possible, the bigger the noise, the better.

According to Wang Wei's understanding, it is enough to make Yuan Hao think that "Yuan Ziyou's brother-in-law leads 30 troops to King Qin", and it is enough to achieve this effect.As for whether to fight or how to fight, those are "technical issues", not strategic issues.

"Sir, what you mean is that we can increase the number of our team so that we can deal with some weak opponents. It just looks like a big one, right?"

Yu Wentai finally "suddenly realized".

The idea sounds a little crazy, even close to suicide.Only seeking more soldiers, not winning, is not as good as Xing Gao!

"There is a saying in the art of war, divide and attack together. If there are many soldiers, they must be divided to cover each other during the march.

And we have recruited so many recruits, among them they are not affiliated with each other, and it is even difficult to guarantee that someone secretly exchanged news with Yuan Hao's people and exposed our whereabouts.

The marching speed of large troops is very slow. If they are encircled, there is no other way but to fight to the death.If that's the case...how are we going to get out in the end? "

"Why are we getting away?"

Wang Wei looked puzzled, he probably guessed what Yu Wentai was worried about, he sighed and said: "You still don't understand the character of the lord. He said let us make a big commotion, so as long as we do it, the troubles in the future will be solved." , he will solve it for us, and will never push us into the pit of fire.

The lord and the others brought elite soldiers, as long as they succeeded in attacking Suiyang, Yuan Hao's troops would disrupt their deployment.At that time, as long as we move a little closer to the south, we will be able to escape.

As for the newly recruited soldiers and horses. "

Wang Wei looked cold and said: "Life and death are determined by fate, wealth and honor are in the sky. When the time comes, it will depend on fate. Is there anyone who will not die in a war?"

Yu Wentai fell into silence, he already understood the danger of Liu Yishou's plan.

You are just a few people, and not all of Yuan Hao's subordinates are as stupid as pigs. It is said that although Fei Mu's character is extremely bad, his vision for fighting is not bad.

Even if you have a lot of flags, even if everyone carries a flag, sooner or later it will be revealed.

Only by making a surprise move and snowballing his team into a frightening situation can Yuan Hao be truly frightened, and Yuan Hao will desperately mobilize all the soldiers and horses of Wei State to encircle and suppress this team.

It is precisely because of the large number of people that Yuan Hao's army leader will not act rashly and "hit a stone with an egg" before the deployment of the encirclement and annihilation battle is completed.

Wang Wei's method can be said to be a slanted sword, and it perfectly executed Liu Yishou's strategic intention.

"General Yuwen, my lord and I hit it off right away, and I admire him so much. Believe me, we can win this game. Looking at it from another perspective, if the lord can't even win Suiyang, what future is there for following such a person?" Woolen cloth?
We only need to do our own things well. For the rest, is there a perfect solution without risk in the world? "

After listening to these words, Yu Wentai pondered for a long time, nodded slightly and said: "I understand, since we do it, we will do everything right. As long as we don't want to cooperate with our powerful and aristocratic family, we will kill them all in the name of unforgivable thieves. Keep alive.

Those who are willing to follow our King Qin, we can grant a higher official position, and even let them choose the unowned land in the state and county.Anyway, as Mr. said, it is Yuan Ziyou who will clean up these later, isn't it? "

A smile appeared on Yu Wentai's dark face, which made Wang Wei startled.

This is the one who is treacherous and loyal, absolutely!Wang Wei couldn't help but secretly became wary of this person.

……

"Before the Shang and Zhou Dynasties, the place in Ningling was called Ge. Ge is a small vine with three leaves. The ancients were very magical and worshiped Ge as a totem. People here in Ningling are even more proud of Ge. "For place names."

Riding on the horse, Chen Yuankang began to show off his profound but seemingly useless knowledge to Liu Yishou again.

Seeing the disapproving expression on Liu Yishou's face, Chen Yuankang said with a smile: "Kudzu is all about treasures, kudzu vines can be used to make paper, and the roots, stems, leaves, and flowers of kudzu are edible and used as medicine.

After kudzu root is ground into powder, it can even be used as military rations.In the future, if Brother Xian finds a foothold, he can promote it. "

After hearing these words, Liu Yishou's complexion changed slightly, he cupped his hands and said solemnly to Chen Yuankang: "You have been taught."

"You're welcome, Ningling Town, I can take it by myself. Give me the document written by Qiu Daqian." Chen Yuankang waved his hand indifferently.

Everyone has arrived at Ningling City. This city is very low, but it is a little different in that it is surrounded by many rivers. If you really want to attack the city, it will be a bit troublesome for a while.

"I'll come when I go."

Chen Yuankang left with the paperwork given by Liu Yishou, but was stopped by the other party.

"A sword has no eyes... It's the same if I send people to test the truth first."

"Do not worry."

Chen Yuankang shook his head helplessly, indicating that Liu Yishou only needed Chen Bing on the other side of the river. He walked alone across the pontoon bridge to the city, and was soon put into the city.

After about one stick of incense, Chen Yuankang came out together with several guards of Ningling City.

"I would like to do the work of a dog and a horse for the governor!"

Several people knelt down together and said.

Liu Yishou quickly helped them up and patted the dust off each other's bodies.

"All of you will rest in Suiyang, the small town of Ningling, you will be afraid if you guard it."

Liu Yishou said gently, and everyone responded in unison.

After the army entered the city, Liu Yishou called Chen Yuankang to the signing room alone, and asked doubtfully, "How did you persuade those people to surrender just now?"

"Let me tell them first that Er Zhurong is about to lead his troops to Luoyang. You are all county soldiers, you have no private troops, and you don't have your own cronies. Have you thought about how to deal with yourself?

I also said that if Yuan Hao gains power in the future, then you can just put the blame on Qiu Daqian, and you don't need to mention the protection of the family.But now he expresses his loyalty to Yuan Hao, not to mention whether he can survive tomorrow.In other words, if Yuan Ziyou wins in the future, wouldn't you all be hunted to the ends of the earth?
You should at least do something that benefits you, right?It's fine if you want to die, why bother to trouble your family?

After a little discussion, those few people agreed to come over.Of course, don't expect them to be very loyal, as long as they don't make trouble, after all Suiyang is not a place to stay for a long time, we don't need to have any scruples.

After all, we can only rely on ourselves. "

Chen Yuankang's last words were on point.Liu Yishou nodded slightly and said, "Indeed."
