Governor please stay

Chapter 307 This wave of mine is called fire reconnaissance
Xiao Yan is 68 years old this year, and he is six and eight, so it's really not easy.Since he sent an invitation to invite Liu Yishou to celebrate his birthday, on the surface he said it from the perspective of "family affection", but in fact it has a strong political flavor.

In other words, this "birthday celebration" is not something you can't do if you don't want to!
When the news came out, everyone in the lobby was shocked.The last time Liu Yishou was under house arrest in Jiankang for more than a month, except for the newcomer Pan Le, everyone else present can still vividly remember it.

"My lord, if I go to Jiankang again this time, I'm afraid it will be more dangerous than the Hongmen Banquet, so I absolutely must not go!"

Wang Wei said excitedly.It's no wonder he was worried, Xiao Yan was not too particular about things last time, let alone this time.

"My lord, although there is nothing wrong with saying that you want to commit a crime, but Xiao Yan has been the emperor for decades, and he still has to face. If we don't go, we will give the other party an excuse to make trouble. At that time, we will be passive."

Chen Yuankang has a different idea. He thinks that Liu Yishou not only wants to go, but also goes generously!

"should go!"

"Isn't it good to go?"

"Reply a letter saying that the princess is about to give birth, so I can't leave, okay?"

Everyone in the lobby was talking about it, but none of them hit the point.As for whether to go or not, Liu Yishou knew that he had to go, but he was at great risk if he went, and he might never come back.

Since ten years ago, the state of Liang has gone from order to chaos, and it has become more and more chaotic in recent years.Things that were impossible before are now hard to say.

Will Xiao Yan lose his head and put himself under house arrest for ten years?

Liu Yishou thought secretly, and had to say that this possibility is not only possible, but even very high.

But don't go, okay?If you refuse directly, Xiao Yan is the most face-saving person. If you slap him in the face so blatantly, the consequences will be very serious.

Maybe Xiao Yan doesn't mind you messing around in Huainan. After all, the country is not owned by him alone, but also by the entire center, the entire Xiao clan, and even the Liang family. In all aspects of interests, others will not ridicule it even if they ridicule it Xiao Yan's head.

The border is in chaos, and the emperor cannot be blamed.

But Xiao Yan's birthday banquet, if you don't go as the son-in-law in name, you will directly slap him in the face.When he became angry from embarrassment, who knew what irrational things Xiao Yan would do!

"Yang Xiuzhi, tell the envoy that it's the birthday of the emperor, I can't just go there casually. You have to fast for [-] days, take a bath and change clothes before you can leave."

Since you can't directly refuse, let's procrastinate.This answer is enough for now, what will happen in the crucial 20 days.

After Yang Xiuzhi left, Liu Yishou remained silent, and the atmosphere in the lobby was also very oppressive.

Pan Le looked at the "magic bird" beside him who was still drinking water, and thought that this crow was really auspicious, and it could still remain calm even with so many people in the lobby.

"General Pan."

Liu Yishou suddenly yelled.

Pan Le was so frightened that he hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "The last general will obey orders."

Liu Yishou walked up to him slowly, knelt down and touched the feathers of the "Divine Bird", then he stood up and looked at Pan Le and said:

"Guoyang in Matou County, Southern Yanzhou, our army once patronized it, and the low-level tenants there had a good impression of us. Many people even took refuge.

Now the spring plowing is over, and the autumn harvest is coming.I order you to take your troops and cross the border to attack Matou County, but don't attack Guoyang City.Guoyang's autumn harvest this year will definitely be poor, because we hit it hard at the beginning of the year.The tax revenue of the government of Liang State is also not less. I guess many people there are worrying about how to deal with the government.

Every time you lead troops to a place, tell the locals that there are fields in Shouyang that can be planted, and that they will not charge rent when they come to settle down this year, and that there are relief food and seeds that can be loaned to them without interest, so that they can bring their families. Leaving Matou County.

If the local Liang army comes to interfere, just repel them directly, don't chase them, don't wipe them out, and control the scale of the conflict. "

After Liu Yishou finished speaking, everyone present, including Chen Yuankang and Wang Wei, were all stunned.

Xiao Yan wants you to celebrate his birthday, so you loot the surrounding counties and counties and "dedicate" him as a birthday present?What a filial son!

"Master, if you do this, will it be too..."

For a while, Wang Wei didn't know how to organize his words.They have done similar things, and there is nothing to say about doing them again in the future.But at the critical moment of Xiao Yan's birthday, is it really good to do so?
"My lord, it's really wrong to do this."

Chen Yuankang also had no choice but to smile wryly.

Hitting people without slapping them in the face is going too far.

"No, no, you don't understand."

Liu Yishou patted Pan Le's shoulder with a smile and said, "General Pan has just joined us and is eager to make contributions, so he acted a little recklessly."

He looked at Pan Le meaningfully and asked, "General Pan, do you think this is the case?"

Pan Le understood, and immediately cupped his hands and said: "Yes, yes, yes, my work is really rough, and I am ashamed of my lord."

Eh?
Wang Wei seems to be coming back!
"My lord, is this wave purely testing the attitude of Liang Guozhong?"

Liu Yishou smiled and nodded, "That's right, my wave is called Fire Reconnaissance."

He paced back and forth in the lobby, looked around the crowd and said, "If after General Pan's cross-border operation, the Liang Guozhong remains silent and doesn't even curse, it means that they plan to launch an attack on Xiao Yan's birthday.

This time I go to Jiankang, there will be no return, let's not do what he thinks, and directly rebel next year, send troops to besiege Jiankang, and support Xiao Huan or Xiao Xi, who is from the line of the late prince!
If Liang Guozhong issued a document to reprimand us, or even ask us to compensate the loss of the Matou County government, then we will give in symbolically, and on this level, I will enter Jiankang to pay homage to Xiao Yan's birthday.Because in this way, both parties can guarantee basic decency, which also shows that our move is beyond their expectations.

That is enough to prove that Xiao Yan asked me to celebrate my birthday purely for the sake of looking good. "

Wonderful!

Chen Yuankang slapped his hands and said excitedly: "My lord's plan is very clever, I am willing to go to Jiankang with my lord!"

Liu Yishou glanced at him helplessly. Chen Yuankang went to Jiankang to give advice just by chance, and to harm a large number of rich, beautiful, romantic and affectionate widows in Jiankang City was probably the real purpose of his trip.

"These are trivial matters. Let's see how General Pan performs."

Liu Yishou nodded slightly to Pan Le and said.

What happened was the newcomer Pan Le's fault.Of course, Liu Yishou just raised the board high and lowered it lightly to "clean up" Pan Le, regardless of what Liang Guozhong ordered.

The barbarians from the north are rebellious, isn't that normal, you people are so rare!
"My lord, there is one more thing."

Chen Yuankang hesitated for a long time, and finally said: "Yuanxiu, except for the lord's concubine, he dare not move, he sent Wang Sizheng to ask for concubines for the rest of the people.

The last time he asked Peng Le to ask for his concubine Miss Xiao, he was beaten by Peng Le. If Wang Sizheng hadn't stopped him, Yuan Xiu would probably have been beaten to death by Peng Le.Just like that, Wang Sizheng was also injured by Peng Le, and he is still recuperating at home. "

Chen Yuankang is also a lustful person, but he knows which women can be touched and which women cannot be touched. When playing with women, he relies on his own charm (including financial resources) and superb intercourse skills, and he has never forced himself to do so.

As for Yuanxiu, let's not talk about it, he is so addicted to food that he can't even walk when he sees beautiful women.

This guy also has a characteristic, he likes noble women, especially those from the royal family.Women and women are all in my mind all day long, the more I think about it, the more I can't get it, the more I can't get it, the more I want it, just like XX's male dog.

Chen Yuankang didn't want to talk about it either, but at present, it seems that Yuan Xiu will be beaten to death by someone under Liu Yishou's command if he continues like this. It's just inconvenient for him to do it.

What if other people are not as loyal and considerate of the overall situation as Wang Wei, what if Yuan Xiu is slaughtered in the dark and stormy night?
In this case, would outsiders think it was Liu Yishou's instruction?Whether Yuan Xiu died or not is a trivial matter, but ruining Liu Yishou's image is a major matter.

Wang Wei remained silent on the sidelines. Others could talk about how to deal with Yuan Xiu. It was all official business, but he couldn't.After all, Yuan Mingyue slept with him every day, so he couldn't start with Yuan Xiu who was harassing Yuan Mingyue.

"This matter needs to be discussed in a long-term manner, and it is not suitable for discussion here. So let's do it first, Wang Wei stay here, I have something to discuss with you."

As soon as Chen Yuankang said that, everyone knew that today's business affairs had been discussed, and they all left in a sensible manner. Only Liu Yishou and Wang Wei were left in the entire hall.

"I stayed in Yuanxiu because Yuan Quan's lineage has a very good reputation and is quite popular. If we support the descendants of Yuan Quan's family in the future, many people will secretly support them during the Northern Expedition, and it is inevitable that they will become elbows. This is the second. "

Liu Yishou let out a long sigh, feeling the helplessness and bitterness of Gao Huan in the history books when he was a powerful minister.

"A lot of bad things can't be done by us. We need a guy with a bad reputation and a bad personality who offended most people to do it. He can attract people who oppose us to him, so that we don't have to do it again." Go find these people one by one.

It seems that Yuanxiu's role is not obvious now, but it may not be so in the future, I hope you can understand. "

Liu Yishou patted Wang Wei on the shoulder and said.

"Yuan Mingyue is pregnant. What I am worried about now is not Yuan Xiu, a villain, but Feng Longzhi. Compared with Feng Longzhi, Yuan Xiu is nothing but the identity of the direct line of the Yuan family."

Wang Wei sighed and said, feeling unwilling but helpless.

Mental cuckolds are sometimes more unbearable, especially when a woman is still pregnant with her own child.

"Everything will pass, don't think so much."

Liu Yishou shook his head and sighed, Wang Wei was only bothered about Yuan Mingyue's affairs, but he himself had many things to worry about, especially the matter of celebrating Xiao Yan's birthday, it would be impossible not to go.

"My lord, you want Pan Le to attack Matou County, are you showing Xiao Ying's power?"

Wang Wei asked calmly.

They have already received news that Xiao Ying, the clan of Nanliang, is now the sheriff of Matou County, the governor of Nanyanzhou, and in charge of a state's soldiers and horses.It is clear that the visitor is not good.

Liu Yishou sent Pan Le to test it out, but it was obviously tit for tat, suggesting that Xiao Ying should be more honest and don't play dead!

"I knew I couldn't hide it from you! I've been planning this matter for a long time, since we're here, let's serve them something hard."

Liu Yishou said with a smile on his face.

It's just a clan, it's all trash, so it's necessary to take it so seriously?

"My lord, do you think highly of Xiao Ying by doing this?" Wang Wei asked with some doubts.

No wonder he said that. The Xiaoliang clan that I have come into contact with before, like Xiao Gang who plays child molestation, Xiao Zhengde who rebels all day and is ungrateful, Xiao Yi who cheats on his wife crazily, and gets slapped in the face all day long. Be a fighter in the trash.

A mere Xiao Ying, how powerful can he be?

"Xiao Yingzhong's appearance is considered a skill in the clan of Liang Guo, but that's it. The main reason is that Xiao Ying's subordinate joined the army, and that one named Chen Baxian is very powerful."

Liu Yishou said in a deep voice.

"Chen Baxian? I haven't heard of it." Wang Wei shook his head, not feeling anything about this little-known character.

Liu Yishou couldn't explain to him who Chen Baxian was, so he could only helplessly smile and say: "Although we have a foundation now, we can't underestimate the heroes of the world. Look at Pan Le, who was suppressed and beaten by us in Pengcheng before and had no way to fight back." Li, aggrieved and surrendered. Didn’t you feel that this man is a great general after talking to him?
Many people are not incapable, they just lack the opportunity to display their talents. "

Liu Yishou reminded earnestly.Wang Wei nodded thoughtfully. It has to be said that his master is indeed extremely cautious. Even if he has power in his hands, he will not use it casually.

"If I really go to Jiankang, in the territory, don't make any big moves until I come back. Everything should be stable, collect information, draw a list, and write down those things one by one. When I come back , clean up together!
Think about the first article of Zuo's Spring and Autumn Annals. "

Liu Yishou said meaningfully.

Wang Wei nodded slightly, understanding what the other party wanted to do.

……

Guoyang City is located at an important node on the south bank of the Huaihe River. Although the Huaihe River is not as wide as the Yangtze River, it is not short in length, and not every place is suitable for crossing the river.

However, after the fall of the Northern Wei Dynasty, Guoyang, which was originally at the forefront of the border between the two countries, greatly eased the defensive pressure.In view of the fact that there will be no large-scale military confrontation in a few years, Xiao Yan transferred Xiao Ying to Matou County, stationed troops in Guoyang City, and farmed a large area on the south bank of the Huaihe River for military rations!
Of course, the operation of this matter included Xiao Ying sending money to Zhu Yi, Zhu Yi interceding with Xiao Yan, restricting Liu Yishou, a disobedient Fang Zhen, and so on.

There are too many major and minor factors behind one thing.

Chen Ba first got Xiao Ying's order, and took the governor's document to Wuxing Township to recruit villagers to go away to make contributions. He recruited 5000 soldiers, plus Xiao Ying's own private army. The total number of [-] people is also quite large.

A group of people traveled westward along the Huaihe River by boat, disembarked at Guoyang Ferry, took over Guoyang City Defense, disbanded the original county soldiers, and sent them back to the countryside to work in agriculture.

Xiao Ying, whose ass was still hot, heard about a big event within a few days!
Liu Yishou's general, Pan Le, led his troops across the border to rob the villagers and resettle them around Shouyang. He showed his embarrassment by fighting openly!

In Liang State, although similar incidents were not uncommon, Liu Yishou also sent people to persuade them, rather than burning, killing and looting.However, playing "population migration" on such a large scale without any concealment or scruples is really unbearable for Xiao Ying.

Xiao Ying called Chen Baxian first, ordered Chen Baxian to organize the army, and attacked Liang County to plunder the population around Shouyang to pay back, but was stopped by Chen Baxian politely.

"Your Highness, there is something strange behind this incident. Don't be impulsive. You can only prescribe the right medicine when you find the sickness. Nowadays, the tenants and even the self-cultivators in Matou County are willing to go to Liang County. It is obviously not groundless. We have sent troops rashly. The gain outweighs the loss. what.

It's not too late to wait for the subordinates to find out the reason before taking action. "

Chen Ba first pulled Xiao Ying's sleeve to persuade him.
