Governor please stay

Chapter 335 Lianghuai Optimus Prime
The night was dark and the wind was high, and it was so cold outside that people could not feel any breath of spring.

As the saying goes, "enclose three times and nine times of freezing", which means that the early spring is warm but has not really brought warmth. If you don't pay attention to heat preservation, it is not uncommon to suffer from frostbite or even freeze to death.

On the east bank of the Di Bridge in the northeast of Xiapi City, a group of soldiers and horses under Wang Sengbian's command were patrolling. Suddenly, they felt that the torches in their hands seemed to be shaking.

"Wei army crosses the river! Report to the king's governor!"

shouted the patrolling lieutenant, not seeming to panic.

As soon as the words fell, Gao Aocao took the lead and rushed to the edge of the bridge with his cavalry, ready to cross the bridge.

"Get behind the rejecting horse!"

The patrolling soldiers are elite soldiers under Wang Sengbian's command and are well-trained.Soon they hid behind the horse-repelling piles that had been set up at this end of the bridge before. Some people found the grille from the debris pile, and a group of several people set it up between several horse-repelling piles.

Someone has already called for reinforcements, and the follow-up troops will arrive soon.

The various teams of the Liang Army used grids as a formation to cover each other alternately, and did not shoot arrows indiscriminately because of panic.

Gao Aocao also didn't expect the soldiers guarding the bridge to be so proficient. If the cavalry continued to charge forward, they would probably suffer heavy losses!

Seeing that the surprise attack had lost the opportunity, he ordered the cavalry to dismount and move aside, letting the infantry behind them take the lead!The two sides fought hand-to-hand on the Di bridge.

Relying on the line of defense composed of grilles and repelling horses, Liang Jun passed his weapons through the holes in the grilles to stab the soldiers under Gao Aocao's command, and the follow-up soldiers and horses slowly gathered to form a solid line of defense.

Gao Aocao sent people to organize death squads and knocked down some grilles in the chaos.As a result, after Liang Jun retreated for a while, someone would immediately fill in the loopholes. Instead, Wei Jun, who broke in partially, was killed by surprise.

It was a good raid at first, but because of Liang Jun's trivial operations, it finally became a positional battle.

Seeing that Gao Aocao couldn't get any advantage, he was unwilling to withdraw his troops and returned to Xiapi City angrily.Liang Jun also did not pursue.

This battle can't be said to have caused huge losses, and of course, it didn't achieve any results, but Gao Aocao had a deeper understanding of Liang Jun's elite fighting methods.

Liang Jun doesn't seem to be good at fighting with large corps, but in small-scale local operations, certain tactics often have a lot of merit.Recalling that the white-robed army under Chen Qingzhi's command was only 7000 people, and had already killed the Northern Wei Dynasty, Gao Aocao seemed to have some understanding.

The next day, Sun Teng found Gao Aocao, because Li Yuanzhong and others had returned to Kongtong Garrison and were not in Xiapi City at this moment, so when they met, Gao Aocao's face was already gloomy, and he would be impatient Put it directly in the open without concealing it.

"General Gao, your attack on Wang Sengbian yesterday didn't seem to go well."

Sun Teng pinched his mustache and asked slowly.

This is obvious, although not many people were lost, but no credit was gained.More importantly, Diqiao is still under Wang Sengbian's control, and still holds the initiative to cross the river.

"Liang Jun is good at minutiae, and it is not wise to fight to the death."

Gao Aocao was obviously not convinced, but still respected the basic facts.

Sun Teng also inquired about the battle last night.Do you think Wang Sengbian's soldiers and horses fought very well?That's not it either.But there is no doubt that the opponent's elite soldiers have solid basic skills.

It's stupid to use reckless methods to consume troops with the opponent.

"Three days later, Li Yuanzhong will lead his troops to detour and come from the east of Wang Sengbian's army. At that time, no matter whether Wang Sengbian leads his troops to meet them or defend the camp, it will be our best chance to encircle and wipe them out.

Since General Gao said that he didn't want to get tangled up in details with Liang Jun, after three days, General Gao shouldn't need to think so much. "

Sun Teng was soft but hard, and said with a needle hidden in his cotton.

Didn't you say that Liang Jun is proficient in these local techniques and tactics? That's fine. We will fight a war of encirclement and annihilation in three days.

"Hmph, we will see when the time comes!"

Gao Aocao snorted coldly, of course he knew what Sun Teng meant.

Now Gao Huan's authority is getting stronger and stronger, and there is a tendency to speak out.If Gao Aocao played poorly in this battle, it is obvious that the person who is also surnamed Gao who is currently sitting in Rencheng will try every means to gather the military power in his hands.

……

The Liang army camp outside Xiapi city was a small victory last night, repelling the sneak attack of the Wei army.Although morale has picked up slightly, Wang Sengbian doesn't think it's a good thing.

This shows that Wei Jun's next move is ready, and a counterattack may break out at any time.Maybe tonight, maybe tomorrow, the initiative is completely in the hands of Wei Jun.

Wang Sengbian really hated Xiao Xu for a while, the prince's success was more than failure, he could hold back the troops of the Wei Army's northern line in Yuzhou, but he just wanted to escape by sea boat!

Xiao Xu's fleeing without a fight directly led to the collapse of Liang Jun's northern battle situation, allowing Wei Jun to free up his hands to encircle Xiapi with several armies.All of a sudden, Wei Jun's mobile force increased a lot.

But Xiao Xu is the prince, what else can he do?Could it be that he went to Jiankang to stab this guy?

"Ugh!"

Wang Sengbian sighed in the handsome tent, Xiao Yi had high hopes for him, but thinking about it now, when he accepted the appointment, he seemed to have thought the problem too simply.

"The king's governor, the central military order!"

A messenger took the imperial decree and carefully handed it to Wang Sengbian. There was an envoy from the court outside the camp. This envoy was actually Fu Qi who had accompanied Xiao Lun in Zhaoling Palace back then!

Wang Sengbian had met Fu Qi, and felt for a moment that Xiao Yan's doting on the clan was really to the point of lawlessness.Xiao Lun was still "in confinement" before, and it didn't take long before the sanctions were completely lifted, and even the important officials of the palace escaped together.

By the way, I picked up the good and bad, which is convenient for "washing white".It is conceivable that Fu Qi should be able to return to his post after returning after delivering the letter this time.

"Wang Dudu is polite."

Fu Qi walked in and bowed respectfully to Wang Sengbian. Even if Fu Qi thought that the other party's qualifications were indeed insufficient for this commander who was fighting on the front line, he should not deny his hard work.

Wang Seng debated and returned the gift, but did not open the imperial decree, but asked suspiciously: "Fu Changshi, is there any arrangement for the center?"

It's fine if he doesn't ask, but when he asked about it, Fu Qi complained in his heart.

"Indeed, there are major arrangements, specifically... General Yang Kan will take over the position of the governor and be responsible for coordinating the battle against Wei, while General Wang will be the deputy, and he will still lead the troops without any transfers."

This sounds nice, but it actually means only one thing: you have been demoted!
Wang Sengbian had a wry smile on his face. He was already very tired of being the governor. It doesn't matter whoever likes to be the one. But Yang Kan is from Beitou, so why was he entrusted with such a heavy responsibility?
Probably seeing the doubts in his heart, Fu Qi explained: "General Yang grew up in Qingxu, and he is very familiar with the mountains and rivers there. He also served as a general in the Wei army and fought against it. position, I deem it appropriate."

Fu Qi sighed in his heart, Xiao Yan finally hadn't fainted to grandma's house, no matter whether Xiao Yi or Yang Kan was appointed, they were much more stable than before.If the front can be as it is now, why did it end up in such a field?

Wang Sengbian's expression softened a little, he turned around and went to the table to take out the seal, handed it to Fu Qi and said, "Please Fu Changshi personally hand it to General Yang."

"Uh……"

Seeing Wang Sengbian being so upbeat, Fu Qi was a little embarrassed to hit him.However, the official duties of the court must be carried out, and this cannot be excused by any personal feelings.Besides, he and Wang Seng are not familiar with each other, nor can we talk about any deep friendship.

"General Wang, it's like this. Dudu Yang ordered you to immediately gather your troops and horses, quietly retreat south to the front line of Xiaxiang, rely on Xiaxiang City to organize defense, and give up attacking Xiapi City. He will let Yu Wentai from Xiaxiang City cooperate with you, If Yu Wentai doesn't cooperate, then General Yang will punish him by military law."

After Fu Qi finished speaking, Wang Seng debated whether he had heard it wrong.He also counted on Yang Kan to bring troops to Xiapi for support. How would he fight back if he didn't attack Xiapi?
withdraw?Where else can I withdraw?

"Did Governor Yang really say that?"

Wang Sengbian asked in disbelief.

"In addition to the imperial decree, there is also a military order from the governor of the sheep here."

Fu Qi was too lazy to argue with Wang Seng, so he directly took out a bamboo tube sealed with wax from his cuff and handed it to Wang Seng for debate.

The atmosphere was dull for a while.

Wang Sengbian opened up the so-called imperial decree of the imperial court. There were not too many complicated politeness on it. He directly said that Yang Kan was to command the troops of the Huaihe River and the Huaihe River. .

In other words, before he planned to settle accounts after the autumn so that Yu Wentai couldn't afford to walk around, but now he can't do it.Now he can only manage the one-third of an acre of land under his command.

The military order given by Yang Kan was also very simple, asking him to withdraw to the prime minister, and the army joined forces to hold the line of defense.In other words, Liang Guo not only spit out the land occupied in the early stage, but also lost the important town of Beihai County!
"Ugh!"

Wang Sengbian let out a long sigh.He was in his thirties, and he was in the middle of his prime. It was a good time to make contributions, but the result was very good. As soon as he climbed to a high place, someone forcibly tore him down.

Are you not reconciled?That's for sure, but what else can I do?

"Understood, Fu Changshi can go back and report. This time, it should be the center that asked you to help the governor of the sheep to participate in military affairs." Wang Sengbian had already guessed a general idea.

As for why it is Fu Qi, the reason is very simple. Fu Qi is the grandson of Xiao Qi's important minister Fu Yan, and he has a close relationship with Xiao Yan.Now that Fu Qi is Xiao Lun's confidant, Xiao Yan doesn't want to make his son too miserable, so he also needs to support Fu Qi more.

If you want to say that Xiao Yan is a good person, it is true. He dotes on his family, and he is more polite and humane to the civil and military ministers.

But he treats ordinary people in Liang country very badly!Wang Sengbian is very aware of this.Xiao Yi's cheap brother-in-law, Wang Lin, was born in a bitter cold.The cronies under Wang Lin's command are also the generation of three religions and nine streams, and each of them has a bitter childhood memory.

Those are all thanks to Xiao Yan.

"General Wang, take care, I will return to you next time."

Fu Qi bowed deeply to Wang Sengbian, and quietly left the camp.

……

Knowing that Liu Yishou led troops to support the minister, Gao Huan ordered some troops to continue eastward and deploy them along the Yishui River at the suggestion of his advisers.

Their plan was to move the battle line to the east and encircle the main force of the Liang army, including Liu Yishou's troops, within the narrow area from Xiaxiang to Tongxian.

After annihilating the main force of the Liang army in Huaibei, then take Xiapi City as the foundation and capture Pengcheng westward!Pengcheng, who lacked the main reinforcements, would be nothing more than a piece of fat on a chopping board, and he could eat whatever he wanted.

Duan Rong and Duan Shao's father and son have already led Gao Huan's direct descendants to Liangcheng in the southeast of Wuyuan City, planning to penetrate to the east of Xiaxiang City and encircle the Liang army that is slowly concentrating on Xiaxiang.

They can do this, but Liang Jun can't divide his troops to resist.Because now the troops of the Wei army have freed up their hands and can support each other.However, Liu Yishou, who had been given high hopes, led [-] "elite soldiers" to wander around the Sui River, walking more slowly than crawling.

Yang Kan, who came late and came first, had already brought [-] forbidden troops to the prime minister, but he hadn't arrived yet.

Gao Huan's counselors analyzed that Liu Yishou lived in Liang State after all, and in fact preserving his strength was the most important thing. Xiao Yan's life and death, and the rise and fall of Liang State were not important.So it is quite normal to have such a performance.

In the afternoon of that day, in the bedroom in the backyard of Rencheng Mansion Yamen, there was the sound of men and women panting deeply, and it stopped after a long time.

After venting for a while, Gao Huan slowly put on his clothes and stroked the woman's hair on the bed.

"I think back then, I wanted to marry you, but your mother looked down on me and thought I would be worthless, so she married you to someone else, alas."

Gao Huan sighed deeply, thinking of the past, he felt a sigh of relief, which was worse than eating blowflies.

The woman on the bed was named Han Zhihui, the younger sister of the former "iron buddy" Han Gui, who had known Gao Huan since she was very young, and the two had an affair, to the point where they were talking about marriage.

But Han Mu beat the mandarin ducks with a stick. Gao Huan saw that the girl he was about to get flew away, not to mention how uncomfortable he felt, and finally met Lou Zhaojun when he was struggling.

Later, when Han Zhihui's husband passed away, Gao Huan immediately took him into the house when he heard about it, and even Han Gui joined him. When this matter was completed, it was time for him to show his grand plans in Yecheng.

That's why Gao Huan has always believed in the saying "Why don't a man have a wife?"As long as you have achievements, why don't you want a woman?
What has been lost can be brought back!

On this expedition, Gao Huan asked Han Zhihui to serve by his side, nominally with his elder brother Han Gui, but in reality what he was doing, he could only say that he knew everything.

The taste of an old lover is completely different from that of ordinary beauties.

There is not only a feminine style different from Lou Zhaojun, but also mixed memories of the past.For a moment, Gao Huan was also a little melancholy, don't bully the young and poor, probably he was talking about himself.

At this moment, Sima Ziru's voice came from outside the door: "Prime Minister, there is an urgent military situation!"

"Is there anything we can't talk about tomorrow?"

The battle situation was extremely smooth, and Gao Huan's airs gradually increased.Today is the day when he spends time with his old lover, and no one can disturb him.

"Prime Minister, the military situation is on fire, so we really cannot delay."

Sima Ziru's voice outside the door was quite urgent.
