Governor please stay

Chapter 240 Let him experience the richness of Buddhist culture!

Ever since Er Zhurong started killing people in Luoyang, the princes in the south of Wei State, along with Yuan Hao, defected to Liang State.The most terrible thing among them was that they handed over Pengcheng, which Wei Guo had taken desperately from Liu Song, to Liang Guo.

Of course, anyone who knows about Pengcheng understands that it cannot be defended by the isolated city alone.Far away is the Chu-Han dispute, and nearby is the Cannon Party who was beaten up in the Huaihai Battle until parents didn't even know each other.Pengcheng would either not fight here, or if he did, it would be earth-shattering.

Xiao Yan has no intention of annexing Wei yet, so he only stationed troops in Pengcheng and its surrounding areas symbolically, and does not expect to be able to defend Pengcheng.

Of course, Liang Guo up and down had considered this before.The tortoise stretched out its head, and when it saw that the momentum was wrong, it immediately retracted into the tortoise's shell, making a steady comparison.

But in the past half a year, Chen Qingzhi led seven thousand white-robed troops and turned the south of Wei State upside down.This gave Liang Guojun an illusion of "I can do it myself".

What Xiao Yan meant was that he hoped to "recruit" Liu Yishou, so Liang Guo's front line would have a large piece of newly occupied land connected together, and he could dispatch troops calmly!
In that way, Pengcheng will not be temporarily occupied by them, but Wei Guo will not be able to take it back even if he dies!

But he thought so, but many of the leading generals below didn't think so.Relying on Xiao Yan not forbidding them to "do something" on the front line, these people desperately moved the front line to the north little by little.

The unit closest to Liu Yishou had "moved" its camp to the south of Xingcheng, which is a short distance from Suiyang, and finally could not move.

On the second day after Master Daoxi left, Yuan Shikang, who was guarding Xingcheng, sent an urgent report that Liang Jun was building pontoon bridges across the river in many places, with unknown intentions.

Liu Yishou hastily called several major generals to the study to secretly discuss countermeasures, and at the same time also called Yang Zhong who was not qualified to attend the meeting.

"Who will lead the army south of Xingcheng?"

Liu Yishou asked his "secretary" Yang Xiuzhi.

"They are part of Xiahou Kui's trilogy. I don't know exactly who they are. Because Xia Houkui's position is high and powerful, there are many soldiers and horses under his command, and there are more than [-] private troops. But I think the other party's behavior is not like the elite soldiers under Xia Houkui's command. It is very similar to the part of the family recruited."

Yang Xiu's stern report.

Liu Yishou glanced at him in surprise. Several times, he found that Yang Xiuzhi was very good at handling the affairs of these secretaries, pointing at the key points.

"tell me the story."

"Xiahou Kui is the real governor of the capital. He is the envoy and Chijie, and he is named General Renwei. He is the Marquis of Baocheng County and has [-] households. At the same time, he also supervises the seven prefectures of Yu, Huai, Chen, Ying, Jian, Huo and Yi. All military matters. Although the states of Liang Guo are all small states, it is impossible to have a small number of troops in management of so many states.

If Xiahou Kui had stepped forward, the current movement would not be about building a pontoon bridge on the south bank of Xingcheng.Therefore, Beizhi believes that they are cooperating with Xiao Yan to suppress us, but they don't want to fight us. "

Yang Xiuzhi talked eloquently, and stepped aside after speaking.Everyone in the study nodded frequently, and Yang Xiuzhi's analysis was very accurate.

Although Xiao Yan's old eyesight is dizzy now, Liang Guo's state machinery has not completely decayed and collapsed.Liang Guo learned that Chen Qingzhi was going to return, and Suiyang was the only way to return to the country, so no matter what Liu Yishou's attitude was, Liang Guo could not just watch Chen Qingzhi and the white-robed army being blocked in Suiyang.

So they prepared "Wen's first hand" and "Wu's first hand".

Of course, there is nothing to say after analyzing these, the key lies in how to deal with them.

Liu Yishou looked at Wang Wei and asked, "What do you think?"

Chen Yuankang followed Master Daoxi to Jiankang City to test the truth, and Wang Wei was the only one who came up with ideas here.

"Actually, the subordinates just think that if they fight, they might beat the lord's bride away. How can people say that?"

Wang Wei sighed helplessly.

To the south of Xingcheng is the boundary of Liang State, and it is Bozhou, which is also famous in later generations.During the Southern Qi Dynasty, it was still the territory of the Northern Wei Dynasty, but Xiao Yan was still trying his best to rule it. Liang Guo kept plundering land to the north, and this place became an important stronghold of Liang Jun in the border town.

Surrounded by water on three sides, Bozhou is easy to defend but difficult to attack.What's more terrible is that its terrain seems to be specially designed to defend against the forces in the north, and the river protrudes northward in the shape of "ji".

In this way, when the army attacked from the north to the south, Bozhou City would be like a steel cone nailed to the waist.

And Xingcheng is the bridgehead for the northern forces to defend against the south. The first stop of Bozhou's troops to the north is Xingcheng.

It is to the south of Huanshui. If it is captured from the south, the defenders of Suiyang can only move forward and camp north of Huanshui.

Therefore, if the current situation does not take into account the situation of Xiao Yan's recruitment, it will be very serious.

"The son-in-law and the father-in-law, the more they fight, the more intimate they become. When I hit the city of Jiankang, Xiao Yan will probably come out with a smile on his face to welcome the son-in-law into the city. Don't think too much, just talk."

Liu Yishou quietly satirized Wang Wei's pedantry, and someone in the study turned his head away unnaturally, fearing that his smile would offend Wang Wei, who was not open-minded.

"Oh oh oh, that's good."

A strange smile appeared on Wang Wei's face, and he clapped his hands while talking: "Master, let's do this, this, and then..."

He finished his plan without changing his face, and then found that everyone present looked at him with complicated eyes, with admiration, contempt, and an inexplicable fear and alienation in their eyes.

Especially Yu Wentai, who seemed to take a step back calmly.

"My lord, how is this?"

Wang Wei seemed a little eager to try, and he didn't think there was any problem with the method he just said.

"Not so good, it seems a bit obscene and despicable."

Liu Yishou said slowly.It looked like it was rejected, but the expression on his face was very calm, not angry at all.

"Uh, then... What do you think is better, my lord?"

Wang Wei asked a little unconvinced.

"No, you misunderstood. I just said that this strategy is very despicable, but I didn't say I wouldn't adopt it."

Liu Yishou's words surprised everyone present, including Wang Wei, it was hard to believe that Liu Yishou actually fully accepted this "bad idea".

"If you win this battle, give Wang Wei the first credit. Since it was your idea, then you should do it yourself. By the way, Yang Zhong, you have been in Liang Guo for five years. This time, you should give Wang Wei a hand. After all He can't even hold a knife, but he can't lead soldiers to fight.

For other people, if Wang Wei has any request, as long as it is a matter of your duty, you must not refuse, understand? "

Liu Yishou put away his smile and said solemnly.

"Follow the command of the governor!" Everyone said in unison.

……

On the south bank of a certain tributary in the southeast of Xingcheng, the Liang army set up camp here to monitor the movements of the Wei army.There are many tributaries in this area, and they all flow in the southeast direction.

If you are not fully prepared to fight in this area, it is easy to be pushed into the river by your opponent to feed the fish, or the enemy escapes and it is difficult to pursue. Cavalry cannot play here.

"Inspector Zhan, do you think the Wei army on the opposite side will surrender when they see our army pressing down on the border? My father said that Liu Yishou is very powerful, but I don't think so. I have camped in the south of Xingcheng, and he doesn't even call out. Well, not as good as those little girls. Hahahahahaha!"

The young man with greasy hair and flour noodles is called Xia Houhong. He is the direct son of Xia Houkui, the governor of the Liang Kingdom, and Xiao Zhengde's "good friend". Killing people is called "fighting".

I don't know how many people have been harmed.

Xia Houkui was made helpless by Xia Houhong. Taking advantage of this return to Jiankang City to report on his duties and returned to Shouyang, he sent this guy to the front line, and asked his good friend Zhanseng, the governor of Qiaozhou in Bo County Zhi Zhi helps "take care of the children".

To put it bluntly, it is to let Xia Houhong gild the front line, and by the way, keep a low profile in some aspects.You always shit in front of Xiao Yan, you really think that the other party is not the emperor!
The reason why Xia Houhong led his troops to Xingcheng was because he heard "inside information" from Jiankang that Liu Yishou, the general of the Wei army in Suiyang, would be recruited by Xiao Yan as his son-in-law, instead of sending wild dogs without sincerity before.

So, Xia Houhong led troops here, it seemed very reckless, but in fact he thought it was very safe.And after returning to Jiankang, you can brag about it, plus your own family background (in the Southern Qi Dynasty, Xiahou's family was the general, and after taking refuge in Xiao Yan, he soared into the sky), with a little operation, he can enter the fast lane of promotion .

At that time, who will remember that when he was young, he did all kinds of evil with Xiao Zhengde?This way of whitewashing, Xia Houkui can be regarded as using the family resources to the limit, it can be said to be painstaking.

Of course, taking care of other children's children is thankless.You can discipline him, if he doesn't listen, it's not easy for you to punish him.Zhan Sengzhi is an honest man, indifferent to fame and fortune. After receiving this hot potato, he realized how much Xia Houkui "considered him".

Xia Houhong has no other skills, but the technique of bullying men and women is top-notch.Not long after arriving in Bo County, it made people complain.

Zhan Sengzhi had no choice but to be begged by Xia Houhong, and was devastated by the other party's mess, so he waved his hand and let this good-for-nothing lead his own soldiers to the south of Xingcheng.

And I have to remind you, don't make any "dangerous actions", just stay honestly.But Xia Houhong is not an honest and obedient person. In his eyes, Liu Yishou is not only a tiger without claws, but even his teeth are about to fall out!
If you don't show the prestige of leading troops at this time, if you really encounter a ruthless one in the future, wouldn't you be dead? How can you pretend to be a B?

The opportunity never came again, Xia Houhong thought he was very brave, he pushed all the way to the gate of Xingcheng, Liu Yishou didn't even move.Zhan Sengzhi found that something was wrong, and the opponent's soldiers and horses were sent by Xiahou Kui to be unrestrained, so he went to the camp to meet Xiahouhong himself.

He also suggested that he retreat to camp across the river surrounding Bozhou, and not to stimulate the Wei army too much.

But obviously, Xia Houhong didn't listen to Zhan Sengzhi's words.

"Your father said..."

Zhan Sengzhi just wanted to teach him a lesson, but Xia Houhong interrupted him and said, "My father is my father, and I am me. Inspector Zhan, go back to Bozhou. You don't have to worry about what's going on here."

Xia Houhong had made up his mind, he knew very well that if Liu Yishou wanted to marry a woman from the Xiao family, he had to stay humble.At this time, I have a big fight with Liang Jun. Is the marriage going to be yellow?

Besides, although Xia Houhong is a bastard, his brain is not stupid at all.Doing some "provocative" actions at this time, in a sense, is to pave the way for the white-robed army to return to Liang Guo smoothly.Even if his father Xia Houkui knew about it, he would accuse him of being reckless.

Rather than saying that the matter itself was wrong.

"Well, take care of yourself. If something goes wrong, you can retreat to the north of Bozhou." Zhan Sengzhi said helplessly.

He is busy with military affairs, how can he spend so much time here with Xia Houhong!Being able to come here today is already an explanation to Xia Houkui.

Zhan Sengzhi walked away full of worry, it seemed that he didn't intend to take care of Xia Houhong's affairs any more.

Another day later, at noon, the soldiers reported to Xia Houhong that an envoy had been sent from Xingcheng, and they had brought ten carts of grain and grass.Xiahou Hong was overjoyed, and quickly met the envoy from the north in the military tent.

……

"General, the ten carts of food and grass are my lord's wish. To be honest, the emperor of Liang Guo intends to recruit my lord as his son-in-law, so, hahahahaha, we have never treated Liang Jun as an enemy army.

You have come all the way from Bozhou, and it is our due intention to show our friendship as landlords. "

In order to test Liang Jun's reality, this time Wang Wei personally led people to escort ten carts of grain and grass over.The incomparably humble attitude he showed made Xiahou Hong very satisfied.

Liu Yishou is indeed a knowledgeable and interesting person.

Xia Houhong nodded slightly, and suddenly smiled strangely: "I think you are very pleasing to the eye, why not, you shave your hair and talk to me. There are many monks in Jiankang, and I always feel a bit uncomfortable if I don't talk to monks on weekdays." Habit."

He stared at Wang Wei's expression with a scrutiny.

"That... the general seems to be a bit difficult."

Wang Wei lowered his head and said submissively.

"Come here, shave this envoy and let him experience the rich Buddhist culture of our Liang Kingdom."

Xia Houhong waved his hand and said proudly that as long as the envoy objected, he would not mind beheading the other party's dog's head to show his majesty.

Wang Wei hurriedly confessed his guilt, and was finally dragged out to shave his head bald. Before leaving, he did not dare to speak ill of Xia Houhong.

……

"Xiahouhong is the leader of the Liang army opposite Xingcheng? Then he wants you to experience the richness of Liang's Buddhist culture?"

Liu Yishou watched Wang Wei take off his hat to reveal his bald head, and almost sprayed his tea on his face.

"This Xiahouhong is quite interesting."

Liu Yishou sighed with emotion.

Wang Wei said with a mournful face: "My lord, is it time to talk about this now? You have to be the master for me! Parents of Sufa Shou!"

He didn't expect Xia Houhong to be so ignorant of martial arts!If I had known earlier, I would not have gone!

"Next time you go, invite them to Xingcheng, and send another ten carts of food and grass. Now we still follow the original plan. Regardless of whether the opponent is a stupid pig or not, we will beat them like tigers and kill them!"

That's it!

Hearing this, Wang Wei grinned and said, "Then let Xia Houhong experience the richness of Luoyang's Buddhist culture, after all, the lord is a real high-ranking monk in Luoyang."
