Governor please stay

Chapter 31 This is very real

The three towns of Heyang are important towns in the northwest of Luoyang, connecting the east of the river.However, the paving has not been fully completed at this time. The Northern Wei Dynasty is currently only based on the "Northern City" on the north bank of the Yellow River, and rebuilt the Heyang Pass that has been abandoned for many years on the central sandbar of the Yellow River (the original pass was built by Emperor Ling of the Eastern Han Dynasty. ).

The later "South City" on the south bank of the Yellow River is still just a ferry.

At this moment, in the hall of the county government office in Beizhong City, the generals under Er Zhurong's command gathered together to discuss countermeasures.

In fact, a few days ago, they used the "Emperor's Blood Book" sent by He Bayue to easily pry open the gate of Beizhong City.The city guard Zheng Jiming did not resist, but directly ordered the soldiers to put down their weapons.

This is tantamount to denying the ruling authority of Queen Mother Hu!
You must know that Zheng Jiming is a member of the clan of Zheng Yan (also the head of the face) who is the favorite of the Empress Dowager Hu. His betrayal can clearly show that the hearts of the people at this time are against each other!
Er Zhurong didn't expect things to go so smoothly, so he couldn't help becoming more interested in that young man named Liu Yishou.After occupying the key place of Beizhong City, he ordered the whole army to repair, and did not send anyone to attack Heyang Pass!
After all, Liu Yishou had spoken first, and now things are exactly as the other party predicted. Er Zhurong is looking forward to the other party continuing to surprise him.

But although he can still hold his breath, the group of people under him may not.

Among other things, Gao Huan, who Er Zhurong relied on and trusted most on weekdays, is very dissatisfied now, and often says frustrating words like "the way to die" in front of his subordinates.

With one person starting this, and the army stagnant, then naturally there will be trouble secretly.

Fortunately, He Bayue was on Er Zhurong's side.

As long as the people from the six towns don't unite to make trouble, then Er Zhurong is not afraid of what they will do.Why didn't Er Zhurong attack Heyang Pass, march into Luoyang, or even break through Luoyang?

Not all because he believed that Liu Yishou would give him a beautiful answer, but because he was waiting for an artifact!
An artifact that can kill Luoyang without bloodshed, and defeat all walks of life without any effort!
That is a powerful Yuan clan!
If you march into Luoyang empty-handed, this is treason and treason.

But if you set up a "Son of Heaven" in advance!And Empress Dowager Hu couldn't bring any important members of the Yuan clan to fight against this "emperor". Then, marching into Luoyang was no longer a conspiracy, but a "King of Qin"!
There is an essential difference between the two.

Gao Huan, who is usually very clear-headed and often has "schemes", is jumping up and down like a monkey at this time. Is it because he is stupid?

No, because Gao Huan's behavioral logic is completely different from that of Er Zhurong and He Bayue.

He Bayue did not make trouble because Er Zhurong followed Liu Yishou's suggestion and adopted the method of "Wen Dou" to seek Luoyang.Liu Yishou was found by He Bayue, so this is also equivalent to Er Zhurong's adoption of He Bayue's suggestion.

After the matter is over, He Bayue must be the first in terms of rewards for meritorious deeds.Er Zhurong didn't say anything, good and bad, he took the lead.

So what does Gao Huan have?

In the case of war, there is no need to take action at all. You can’t say that the defenders of the city surrendered, and you still have to deliberately refuse, and then forcefully attack the city, right?
Er Zhurong still has some control over this army, although Gao Huan can restrain his troops.

If you want to "Wen Dou", He Bayue has already stepped forward. No matter what Gao Huan does, he is "parroting", "picking a cat to draw a tiger".

If it’s done well, it’s picking up people’s teeth. If it’s not done well, hehe, it’s called Dong Shi’s imitation.How could Gao Huan endure this?He also has a group of brothers.

If you can't bring your brothers to eat meat, the team will be disbanded.

So Gao Huan's strategy is to make trouble for no reason.Only when the quarrel continues can He Bayue show his "weaknesses", and then there will be a chance to change the status quo.

So what if the noise breaks down?
Gao Huan felt that if Er Zhurong hadn't lost his mind, he would never have done anything to him.Get rid of him, Gao Huan, and He Bayue's gang will become the dominant family.

Which boss would do such a stupid thing?
So the cost he needs to pay for making a fuss is extremely low, but the chance of success is much higher than the cost, so it's totally worth playing.

Even if you don't play well, you can also explain to your subordinates: Look, it's not that I haven't tried hard. You can blame Er Zhurong for all your hatred, I'm still your big brother.

Sure enough, Gao Huan's fuss had an effect. Er Zhurong couldn't stand the noise from his subordinates, so he held a "meeting" in the lobby of the county government office in Beizhongcheng to discuss countermeasures.

"Captain, I have sent people to investigate around Luoyang, and the defense is extremely empty. As long as we attack in the dark, we can definitely take Luoyang by surprise! If we miss this opportunity, when Wang Yuanhao of Beihai comes back to his senses, it will be bad if we stab us in the back. gone."

An eight-foot-long, handsome general in leather armor bowed his hands to Er Zhurong in the hall and said, this person is Gao Huan, who was called "He Liuhun" by He Bayue and the others.

This person can speak well on weekdays, he can call everyone a brother, and he is very popular in the camp.

After he finished speaking, many generals in the hall nodded unconsciously, thinking that he was very right.Why do these people think so?
Because they need military exploits!

Er Zhurong can indeed prosper, but what does that have to do with them?You are a pawn crossing the river now, and you will still be a pawn crossing the river in the future!It's not because Er Zhurong has become prosperous, and you can also prosper along with him.

This is very real.

In fact, in this day and age, it is very difficult to be a commander in chief, and an ambitious one at that.

Because of the superstructure piled up by the feudal system, the only thing that works is "the emperor is ordered by the sky to guard the world".If the commander-in-chief of the army, the backstage boss is the emperor, then this can still be used to unite people's hearts (how much effect is doubtful).

But for an ambitious man like Cao Cao, this method doesn't work very well.The lessons of countless fiascos in history have taught them that without the appeal of the emperor, no matter how strong a warlord is, he will never recover after one failure.

These people can only win over the generals under them, and use the contradictions and disagreements between these generals to balance each other and maintain the situation.

The subordinates of those generals also have their own brothers, each with their own interests, which are passed on.

"He Bayue, tell me."

In the big camp, He Bayue is the only one who insists on waiting here, "waiting for change". It can be said that until today, all the pressure has fallen on him.

"There is a competent person who is working in Luoyang City. When the matter is settled, we can enter Luoyang without bloodshed. Everyone, please be safe and don't be impatient."

He Bayue's tone was obviously softer.

In fact, he is persuading others not to be restless, but he himself is the most "restless" one!

"He Bayue, the dog! What kind of birdman is in Luoyang, what have you done! You can't afford to delay the army's schedule and cut off your head, so why don't you get out of here!"

A short, lame general pointed at He Bayue and yelled at him in extremely vulgar words.

This person is called Hou Jing, and he has a close relationship with Gao Huan, but...they are not in the same army, and they can be regarded as equals, and no one belongs to the other.

Er Zhurong looked around, feeling a little anxious.

At this moment, an orderly rushed in hurriedly, bowed to Er Zhurong and said, "Governor, He Basheng is back and said there is an important military situation!"

He Basheng!
Er Zhurong was determined!
He naturally knew what He Basheng was going to do.

Although in Luoyang City, some former friends, cronies and the like have gradually taken refuge in them.But the news these people brought was scattered, one-sided, and disorderly.

Only Liu Yishou's news to Er Zhurong was complete, orderly, advanceable, and with a roadmap.So how to choose, the result is obvious.

Soon, He Basheng entered the lobby of the county government office, took out a letter from his chest, and handed it to Er Zhurong respectfully: "Great governor, this is a letter from brother Yishou. He said he would bring Yuanzi with him soon." You, along with the people from Pengcheng Palace, went to Beizhong City to meet with the governor.

In addition, he also suggested that the governor should make preparations in Beizhong City to support Yuan Ziyou's ascension to the throne.With this person in the army, even if there are millions of people in Luoyang City, they are no more than chickens and dogs. "

He Basheng stayed with Liu Yishou for a few days, and also learned a little bit of persuasion (suddenly) speaking (slowly) skills. His words stunned all the generals present, and only He Bayue gave him a thumbs up calmly. !
"Good!" "Good!" "Good!"

Er Zhurong said three good words in succession, and directly snatched from He Basheng the letter that Liu Yishou asked Yuan Juli to write for him.He was still able to stabilize his emotions, and only looked at the letter carefully when he sat down in his seat.

Curiosity, shock, admiration, rejoicing, fear, all kinds of expressions played on Er Zhurong's face in turn. After he looked at it from beginning to end again, he let out a long sigh.

"Getting help from this person is no less than setting up an army of [-] in Luoyang."

Er Zhurong said with emotion, he collected the letter and did not circulate it to all the generals present, nor did he say anything.

"Gao Huan listens to the order!"

"The end is here!"

Er Zhurong's sudden order stunned Gao Huan who was in deep thought.

"You gather all the troops in the headquarters, and lie in ambush near the Xianghe Bridge (the pontoon bridge from North Central City to Heyang Pass), and once there is a shout of killing in Heyang Pass, attack them immediately!

Remember, don't destroy the pontoon bridge, if the river bridge is not there, you don't have to come back, let your subordinates collect the body for you! "

Er Zhurong's face was extremely serious.

Gao Huan nodded slightly, and understood what Er Zhurong wanted to do.

If the floating bridge is destroyed, it will be very difficult to cross the river again.This behavior is equivalent to betrayal!So Er Zhurong issued a death order, even if your troops are wiped out, the pontoon bridge must be kept.

"Okay, let's leave. He Bayue, He Basheng, and Murong Shaozong stay here for a while!"

With Er Zhurong's order, the battle meeting that hadn't been held yet ended like this!

Gao Huan, Hou Jing and others were stunned for a while.

But since Er Zhurong said he wanted to leave, they had no choice but to stay here, and they had no choice but to leave.After all the other idlers had left, Er Zhurong handed over the letter in his hand to He Bayue and Murong Shaozong for observation.

Murong Shaozong came from a famous family, he was the former Yan Taiyuan king and famous general Murong Ke's successor.Murong Ke claimed to be the only one among the Xianbei Murong generals who possessed both ability and political integrity, but it was a pity that he died early, or there was nothing wrong with Fu Jian.

And Murong Shaozong is not bad either, he is tall and tall, although he is taciturn, he is very courageous, he is appreciated by Er Zhurong.Er Zhurong discussed many important matters with him.

Of course, He Bayue would not say anything about Liu Yishou's letter, but Murong Shaozong nodded slightly and said to Er Zhurong: "This man has far-reaching knowledge and is quite extraordinary. If he is not an internal response sent by the Queen Mother, then this Things can be done.

It can even be said to be very easy. "

Murong Shaozong was cautious and optimistic, because if Liu Yishou sang the oboe with Queen Mother Hu, it would be very bad.

"Shaozong is worried too much. If Empress Dowager Hu can recruit such great talents, will she be reduced to where she is today?"

Er Zhurong said disdainfully.

He was right on point.Even though Murong Shaozong felt suspicious of Liu Yishou, he still believed that Empress Dowager Hu really couldn't control such a person.

The Empress Dowager of the Northern Wei Dynasty is a typical example of playing a good hand of cards poorly.The kind that Wang Zha would tear apart leaflets and type!

As long as she has such a little bit of talent, she will not give Er Zhurong any chance to stand up.

"This person said that he would find a way to persuade the guards at Heyang Pass to surrender, and the governor did not need to act... This makes me a little curious."

Murong Shaozong said thoughtfully.

Attacking Heyang Pass from Beizhong City is actually a little tricky.It's like fighting with your opponent with your hands tied, and you can't use your strength.Isn't the "geographical advantage" relied on by the Luoyang court to be Heyang Pass?
Liu Yishou dissuaded Er Zhurong from attacking Heyang Pass, as long as he stayed in Beizhong City, because once Heyang Pass was captured, all the nobles in Luoyang City would be deterred.

At that time, they will stand on the side of Queen Mother Hu instead!
There is a very delicate relationship between advancement and retreat, which is not something ordinary people can grasp well.

The reason why Er Zhurong is still in Beizhong City is because he is counting on Liu Yishou. No, there is a surprise here.

"So you see what he said, if you can't take Heyang Pass, it means Yuan Ziyou has no prestige and is not enough to be a candidate for the emperor. Please ask the general to storm Heyang Pass. After that, just come as soon as possible."

He Bayue said a word for Liu Yishou, of course, this was also written in the letter.

If Yuan Ziyou can't "clear the customs", then he, and Liu Yishou who came with him, are useless!These days, waste wood is not enough to be rescued, so the governor is asked to "select other talents".

If Yuan Ziyou can "clear the customs", no matter what method he uses, he has proved himself.Then, he is qualified to "enthronement and become emperor" in Beizhong City, and then take the so-called "big army" to Luoyang to get everything that belongs to him.

Of course, this is also Liu Yishou's way of proving himself, to prove to Er Zhurong: I am not a liar who pretends to be a tiger, so you have to figure out what to do next.

This is the strength and arrogance of top talents.The three present, including Er Zhurong, all understood it.

"But why did the governor send He Liuhun to meet him?"

He Bayue asked a little puzzled.

"You, after eating the meat, you have to save some soup for others, right?"

Er Zhurong patted He Bayue's shoulder and said with a smile.
