Governor please stay

Chapter 227 Wait, shouldn't you be in Dingtao?

Yu Wentai, Wang Wei and others "leave without saying goodbye" late at night. After being discovered the next day, these powerful families not only did not feel scared, but were ecstatic!
The person in the way is finally gone!
There are almost [-] soldiers and horses on horseback. They consume so much food and grass every day, and they actually fight defensive battles!Fortunately, Dingtao City is large, and a deputy city has been built around it, so the soldiers can be settled.Otherwise, an ordinary city would not be able to accommodate so many people!

As long as he can defeat the soldiers and horses of the imperial court, at that time, he can use Liu Yishou's name to kill all the way to Luoyang!As for Liu Yishou himself, he just listened to the tune and not the announcement, and just said what he had to say. At that time, Liu Yishou would still say that he had nothing to do with him?
Those promoted by these aristocratic families are thinking that they can be regarded as "responses" to Liu Yishou's appeal, and only stand up to "put order out of chaos", and they belong to the division of justice.

The so-called name is not right, words are not smooth, and words are not smooth, things are difficult to achieve.With this "east wind", they can change from a local "local tyrant" to a big figure in Wei's political arena.

Opportunities like this don't come along all the time.

As for Yu Wentai and Wang Wei, these powerful people from aristocratic families dismissed them.To put it nicely, he is a commander-in-chief, but to put it badly, he is just a running dog under Liu Yishou's command!
At that time, they and Liu Yishou will be on an equal footing, and they will all be regarded as "rebels"!It is a bit similar to the various tyrants after the green forest and red eyebrows in the late Western Han Dynasty.

These two trashes are finally gone. Then, Fei Mu, who will attack Zuocheng with an army of [-], should be on the agenda, right?

The commander is gone, and the war will continue, so it is reasonable to elect a new commander.

So what Yu Wentai and Wang Wei may not have imagined was that these powerful families could actually sit down for a meeting in a serious manner, and they really chose a "leader" who seemed to be quite reliable.

Of course, this army looks more like a loose alliance. Everyone manages their own parts, and the logistics are redistributed. Whoever supplies the supplies will be used by others, and it is not allowed to rob others.

Everything seemed to be in order, and Fei Mu in Zuocheng also stopped attacking Dingtao and stood still in Zuocheng.

……

At the top of Kaocheng City, Liu Yishou looked at the moat outside the city. Yu Wentai and Wang Wei stood behind him like children who had done something wrong, afraid to speak.

Yu Jin patrolled the surroundings with his own soldiers expressionlessly, and would come here to take a look after a while, and then left as if nothing had happened.

"If it is said that you are in Kaocheng now, then... who is commanding the army in Dingtao at the moment?"

Liu Yishou turned around, looked at Yu Wentai with a puzzled face and asked.

Yu Wentai and Wang Wei exchanged glances, bowed their heads and cupped their hands in apology, without saying a word.If you really want to follow the military order, you can drag these two people out and chop them up.

Of course, now is the time to employ people, and these two people have basically completed the task of luring the enemy.To the north of Kaocheng, there are large swamps left by ponds and floods.

There are also many small rivers running from east to west.

So even though it seems that Dingtao is very close, actually marching from there to Kaocheng is actually not on the way.

"My lord, those are the parts of the powerful families we took care of along the way."

Wang Wei said cautiously.

The two of them walked all the way through the water and made a big detour before arriving at Kaocheng.But when they met, they found that Liu Yishou's attitude seemed to be a little different from what he had expected.

It is neither a generous expression of relief, nor a fit of rage to enforce military law.There is not even any sarcasm and pressure, nor is it a beating with a smile on the surface.

Liu Yishou's expression was one of surprise, and it didn't look like he was pretending at all.Only then did Yu Wentai and the others feel that they might have caused a catastrophe.

"Before you entered the city today, um, it was last night. I heard that Dingtao's army defeated Fei Mu, and Fei Mu retreated all the way to Yuanju City on the north bank of Nanji River.

At that time, I was still thinking, you have only a few soldiers and horses in your hands, and you are not elite, and you actually beat Fei Mu for a hundred or two hundred miles, I really underestimated you.

As a result, you actually entered the test city today. "

"I want to know now, who is a great talent in that army, who can lead a group of mobs to repel the imperial army of Wei led by Fei Mu.

Although the group of people under his command are quite useless, it's not that easy to deal with. "

Seeing the perplexed expression on Liu Yishou's face, Yu Wentai and Wang Wei unconsciously sweated coldly on their foreheads. They both thought of a terrible but reasonable thing.

"Captain... This is probably because those people fell into Fei Mu's trick to lure the enemy."

Yu Wentai said with a stiff face.

"now it's right!"

Liu Yishou sighed and said, "I was relieved to see you, but my heart was raised again. As soon as I heard the scout's battle report yesterday, I suspected that you had fallen for Fei Mu's trick to lure the enemy.

He wants to lengthen your battle line, and then find a way to cut off your retreat. I guess Dingtao City should have fallen by now. "

What Liu Yishou was thinking about today was how to deal with the situation where Yu Wentai and the others were fleeing with their troops, but he didn't expect that his guess was only half right.

"During the time when the last general was in Dingtao, the powerful people of the aristocratic family took their own steps, and there were many dangerous situations in the defense of the city. They were not the opponents of Fei Mu's troops at all.

This time they took the initiative to attack and were outplayed by Fei Mu. It is estimated that... more or less bad luck. "Yu Wentai said bitterly.

Some people obviously have no ability, but they feel quite good about themselves.When he was defending the city of Dingtao, those people felt that it was their credit for being able to defend Dingtao, and that his military order was "in the way".

With so many soldiers and horses, they rushed forward and beat Fei Mu's men to the ground.They should be the attacking side, how can they be aggrieved and guard Dingtao and not go out!
"If Fei Mu wins this time, his morale will definitely skyrocket. Where will they go next?"

Liu Yishou looked at Yu Wentai and Wang Wei, smiled slightly and said, "Although the circumstances are justifiable this time, military law is military law. Let me ask you, Wang Wei, what crime should the general have for abandoning the army and escaping?"

Well, finally got around to this place!
Wang Wei smiled wryly and said: "My lord, I don't ask this question knowingly. According to the military law, I and General Yuwen will be beheaded, and they will be passed on in the army for the first three days to serve as an example."

"Now when employing people, write down the crimes first, and pay the merits to the crimes after Fei Mu is spent. Can you two be convinced?"

"Thank you Dudu for not killing me!"

Yu Wentai hurriedly clasped his hands in salute, while Wang Wei bowed deeply to Liu Yishou with his sleeves folded without saying a word.

"Okay, don't be polite, let's talk about it, what should we do next?"

"Yuanju is not far from Kaocheng, or even Suiyang, but the roads are muddy and intersected with rivers, and swamps are everywhere.

Now at the turn of spring and summer, the waters of all the rivers are soaring, and the grain, grass and luggage cannot be transported in the mud for a few days.Therefore, it is expected that Fei Mu will not go south to take Kaocheng directly. "

Yu Wentai's mind turned quickly, and after learning that Liu Yishou would not cut him down for the sacrificial flag, he immediately returned to normal thinking.

"Indeed, if this road is easy to go, I wouldn't let you make a big fanfare to promote a decisive battle with the Wei army north of Dingtao.

What would you do if you were Fei Mu? "

After asking this sentence, both Yu Wentai and Wang Wei fell silent.

Liu Yishou smiled and said, "If I were Fei Mu, after defeating Dingtao's army, I would not advance immediately, but would retreat westward."

Back off?

Both Yu Wentai and Wang Wei were stunned, as if there was a flash of light in their minds, but then it darkened instantly, and they vaguely felt that there was a thick fog in front of them, and they couldn't see the whole picture clearly, only that there was a light coming from a certain place.

"Think about it, retreat to the west first, so that it actually disappears from our field of vision, so that we don't know what happened on his side. Maybe it was called back by Yuan Hao, or something happened in Luoyang. thing.

In fact, he just retracted his fist, and when he punches it again, it will be more powerful, and it will be in a direction that we can't imagine. "

"Please make it clear!"

Yu Wentai and Wang Wei said, cupping their hands.

"After winning the battle, we retreated quietly, and let the grain transport team advance to Xiaohuang City first. It is the junction of Sui River and Nanji River, and it is an excellent place to store grain.

Immediately afterwards, Fei Mu will lead people from Xiaohuangcheng, along Suishui east to our flank, which is Yongqiu!

Then along the Suishui, fight all the way to Suiyang for a decisive battle!This road is not only easy to walk, but also has extremely powerful logistical support, and can attack our flank by surprise.

I thought about it all night yesterday, and I couldn't think of a better way. "

Liu Yishou yawned and said.

It stands to reason that he hadn't made out with those concubines in his backyard for a long time, so he should be very horny.But people are under high pressure, and they don't have the mind to think about those things in the next three ways.

Liu Yishou's mind was full of how to get rid of Fei Mu and the main force of the Wei army under his command who were not particularly strong!
He spent more thought on Fei Mu than he did on his sister.

"My lord, we also studied what tactics Fei Mu might use in Dingtao. At that time, General Yuwen felt that Fei Mu was very likely to lead us to the decisive battle in Xiaohuang City, and then he would steal Dingtao from the rear! Fire Dingtao food supplies.

When we learned that the food and grass had been burned and the nest had been lost, the army would be in a panic and panicked to retreat.They can chase and kill all the way behind without any effort.

Sure enough, are they going to raid Little Yellow City? "

Wang Wei said excitedly, could it be that Liu Yishou told them these things just to let them go to Little Yellow City?
"No, I will send the two of you to Yongqiu, the westernmost city in Suiyang, where you will stand against Fei Mu! I predict that Fei Mu will go to Yongqiu.

If Yongqiu is not protected, then Suiyang will definitely have a hard fight. "

Regarding Yongqiu, there is also a well-known idiom called "the Qi people worry about the sky". Yongqiu was the capital of the ancient Qi State.

At this moment, Wang Wei wanted to ask, is Liu Yishou also "worried"?

"Captain, the latest military news from the north!"

A scout who was covered in mud and didn't have time to wash it hurriedly walked up to the city wall and handed Liu Yishou a bamboo tube that was well sealed but was also surrounded by dried mud.

"Thank you, go take a shower and change your clothes."

Liu Yishou didn't dislike it at all, he patted the scout on the shoulder and said, it would be embarrassing to take a shortcut this way.

After opening the letter and reading it at a glance, Liu Yishou handed the cloth in the bamboo tube to Yu Wentai and said, "Look for yourselves."

I saw that it said "Yu Wentai used Fei Mu's trick to lure the enemy, and besieged Yuanju City. Fei Mu sent out a surprise army to conquer Dingtao. Yuwentai returned to Dingtao, was chased by Fei Mu, and was defeated at the left city. The soldiers died. There is no calculation, the blood is flowing like a river."

The scouts didn't know that Yuwentai was no longer in the Dingtao army, nor did they know that all this had nothing to do with Yuwentai, and was caused by him.

At this time, Yu Wentai and Wang Wei finally came to their senses. Although they were quite good, they were far behind Liu Yishou in terms of the overall situation and the ability to calculate the enemy's movements.

What Fei Mu might do in the future is most likely to march eastward along the Suishui River and hit the city of Suiyang.If that's the case, it seems... the same as what Chen Qingzhi did a few months ago?
"Go and prepare. Han Xian is over there with his troops. You also know that although the people in the Death Battalion are not afraid of death, they are not the best fighters.

At that time, I will sit in Suiyang and support you. "

"Follow the commander's orders!"

The two took orders to go, they will go south to Suiyang after a short rest today and then west to Yongqiu.

This place is not a big city, but its strategic position is extremely important, it is the west gate of Suiyang.Regardless of Liu Yishou's convincing words now, in fact, he was just betting on how Fei Mu would march, just like guessing a riddle.

If Fei Mu was an idiot, he would go directly south and attack Kaocheng regardless of the difficulty of transporting supplies.Such Liu Yishou's pre-arrangement, on the contrary, dispersed the troops and exposed their weaknesses.

But Liu Yishou felt that Fei Mu was quite powerful, at least he had good vision.He looked up to Fei Mu, so he expected that Fei Mu would take care of the logistics pressure and set up the transfer center in Little Yellow City.

Then use the water transportation in Sui River to provide food, grass and supplies for the army's attack along the way.They can even go all the way through the water, and disembark at the city of Yongqiu to besiege the city!

In this way, when Liu Yishou found them, the army had already surrounded Yongqiu!
A ferocious uppercut, full of the beauty of the use of force, and the suddenness of the start of the battle, make people overwhelmed.Uh, having said that, it seems that in Liu Yishou's previous life, a person named An Lushan also used this trick in Suiyang.

It's just that the strategy is perfect, the tactics are poor and the opponent is stubbornly resisting. When Suiyang is taken, all the flowers will wither.

"Fei Mu succeeded?"

Yu Jin suddenly appeared behind Liu Yishou and asked softly.

"That is inevitable, regardless of whether Yu Wentai is in that army or not. As long as Dingtao is out, they will lose. It is nothing more than the difference between losing early and losing late."

Liu Yishou said with emotion: "It's a blessing, not a disaster. A disaster cannot be avoided. In the end, we still have to fight Fei Mu on the battlefield."

"North of Kaocheng, the roads are muddy and there are many rivers, which is not conducive to marching. If I were Fei Mu, I would retreat westward and take a small circle around Sui Shui to attack Suiyang east.

But, what if Fei Mu doesn't follow common sense to send troops? "

This statement is like Wang Wei's idea of ​​sending surprise soldiers to raid Little Yellow City. If he succeeds, he will make a lot of money. If he loses, he will lose his troops and lose his work.

"I'm just betting that he's a smart guy. If he insists on being a fool, I'm really convinced, and it should be so."

Liu Yishou let out a long sigh. In fact, he had already prepared in his heart. This battle was impossible to escape, no matter where it was fought.
