Governor please stay

Chapter 337 Lianghuai Optimus Prime
Although Liu Gui's surname is Liu, he is a Hun with deep Sinicization. He was Gao Huan's friend in the early years, and the relationship between the two has always been close.Gao Huan was able to be reused in Erzhu Rongjun, thanks to Liu Gui's recommendation.

And for this expedition, Gao Huan also gave Liu Gui a good job: take the troops from the headquarters and stay with him, instead of going to the front line to fight.

Although such an arrangement is very safe, Liu Gui also has his own ideas in mind.Times have changed, and now Gao Huan is not a grassroots team, and everything is on the right track.In the future, there will definitely be more and more talents, and the stalls will get bigger and bigger. It is definitely not acceptable to talk about friendship in everything.

Whoever made a lot of credit would get the job, and whoever had no credit would sooner or later be someone else's position. Liu Gui could see this very clearly.

"Guizhen (Liu Guibiao), I was reluctant to let you go to rescue this time, but those rats crossing the street in Liang Jun are really annoying, this trip will be hard for you!"

In the study in the backyard of the Rencheng government office, Gao Huan held Liu Gui's hand cordially, as if recalling the past when they were walking cats and dogs together, he sighed and sighed.

"Don't worry, Prime Minister, I will take care of this matter."

Liu Gui said humbly, he knew that the opportunity he had been waiting for had finally come!No one wants to wear the hat of "Gao Huan's acquaintance with commoners" for the rest of his life.

"Well, you have always done things safely, I am at ease."

Gao Huan said with a slight smile.

Liu Gui heaved a sigh of relief, seeing that Gao Huan didn't make any other requests, he guessed in his heart that Gao Huan himself didn't know the actual situation there.After all, most of the generals and counselors left with the army now, and there is no one in Rencheng who can make up their minds.

In fact, old acquaintances like Liu Gui knew what Gao Huan's strengths and strengths were.

Regarding the details of the battlefield, Gao Huan is indeed a bit hip, not suitable for micromanagement.

This time it may not be just "handling some mice" as Gao Huan said, it is simple, relaxed and happy.However, time waited for no one, Liu Gui didn't have time to think about it, so he had no choice but to stop talking to Gao Huan and go straight to the camp on the outskirts of Rencheng with the military order.

……

Leaving aside the situation on the front line in Pengcheng, even if Liu Yishou ordered a surprise attack on the weakness in the rear of the Wei army, it would not happen overnight.However, Liu Yishou could have time to fish on the banks of Sui River, and Xiao Zhengde and Xiao Ji, who were trapped in Wuyuan City, had already turned into ants on a hot pot, running around in a hurry.

Now that the city was besieged, even the messengers couldn't rush out to report the news, and Xiao Zhengde and others didn't know what was going on outside.However, there are two things that can see some signs.

The first is the reinforcements that should have appeared long ago, but have not appeared for a long time.The Wei army camp outside the city has never seen any disturbances, and it is as stable as Mount Tai.This shows that not only Wuyuan City is besieged, but Liang Jun should have switched to full-line defense now, and it is impossible to deploy troops to rescue them.

The second is that Wei Jun didn't send anyone to persuade them to surrender, as if they didn't care about their life or death at all!It can be seen from this that Wei Jun is very confident in winning this battle, at least he doesn't seem to be in a hurry at all.

Xiao Zhengde was terrified now!

He didn't want to die at all. If Wei Jun could guarantee his safety, there would be no pressure on him to surrender.But when he complained to Xiao Ji on the sidelines and revealed a little thought of surrender, he was severely condemned and completely despised by Xiao Ji.

The longer the siege, the more soldiers in the city. As time went on, all kinds of desertions gradually increased.This day happened to be the turn of Xiao Ji's men and horses to inspect. Xiao Zhengde found Zhao Bochao, and the two secretly discussed countermeasures.

"Your Highness, it's impossible to go on like this."

In the courtyard room where Xiao Zhengde lived in the city, Zhao Bochao said worriedly.

What he said was true, even if Xiao Ji was here, he would not deny that their current situation was extremely bad.These days, the Wei army attacked the city from time to time, and when they led the defenders to be vigilant, the opponent retreated again, like a tease, which made people worry all day long.

Who knows when "playing" will turn into a real siege?
"If you can send people outside the city, just talk to those people, and listen to what conditions they offer."

Xiao Zhengde said thoughtfully.

Hearing this, Zhao Bochao was so frightened that he was out of his wits, and quickly lowered his voice and shouted: "Your Highness, speak carefully, speak carefully!"

Xiao Zhengde could surrender to Wei Jun, anyway, he patted his butt afterwards to let Xiao Yan redeem himself, and then cried in front of Xiao Yan that nothing happened.

Zhao Bochao asked himself if he was captured by Wei Jun, who would care about him?

For Xiao Yan, they are like eagles and dogs they raise, and they are not the top group. If they die, they will really die.

For a while, even Zhao Bochao, who is usually good at judging the situation, felt a trace of sadness from the bottom of his heart.

People are so different. Some people are born with a golden spoon in their mouths, while others are as busy as a dog. In the end, when they die, they are wrapped in a straw mat and thrown into a mass grave.

"Can you send someone to try outside the city?"

Xiao Zhengde leaned over and asked in Zhao Bochao's ear.

Zhao Bochao gritted his teeth and said: "Actually, this matter is not impossible. You just need to go there personally and tell the others that you are going to negotiate. As for what your Highness wants to talk to over there... just talk about it." .”

Zhao Bochao knew who Xiao Zhengde was, so he didn't dare to say a word of disobedience.What can Xiao Zhengde talk about when he goes to the enemy camp?That's really only God knows, Zhao Bochao didn't even dare to think about it.

Xiao Zhengde nodded slightly, feeling that Zhao Bochao's brain is still very useful, and he can take it for his own use when he has the opportunity.Of course, the premise is that they can return to Jiankang alive.

The next day, Xiao Zhengde found Xiao Ji and Liu Zhongli, and vowed that he would go out of the city to negotiate with Wei Jun, and then see if Wei Jun could release them and go back to Jiankang.

Xiao Ji felt that Xiao Zhengde's statement was no less than a fool's dream, it was simply wishful thinking.

But the problem was that it was Xiao Zhengde who went out to negotiate, not himself. It seemed that it was okay to try, and it was harmless.

Taking a ten thousand step back, even if those people in Wei State were all barbarians, if they beheaded the "Lai Envoy", wouldn't it be Xiao Zhengde who died?What loss does Xiao Ji have for him?

So Xiao Ji said some high-sounding and beautiful words to "encourage" the other party, and Xiao Zhengde left triumphantly after hearing this.I don't know if I'm really happy, or just pretending.

……

The predictions of Chen Baxian and Wang Sengbian were correct. The Wei army had long planned to encircle and wipe out the Xiangliang army, and it was gradually being implemented.

Sure enough, Li Yuanzhong of the Wei army took advantage of a rainy night to raid Fanxie City, the outpost of the prime minister, and fought with Wang Sengbian's cronies who were stationed here. The two sides fought fiercely all night. Wang Sengbian did not want to waste his troops with the enemy. Withdrew from Fanxi City.

This city is the west gateway of Xiaxiang, and now it is occupied. Xiaxiang City is within the attack range of Wei Jun at any time, which makes Yang Kan feel a thorn in his back.

Another day later, Gao Aocao ordered his elder brother Gao Shen to guard Xiapi City, while he took his trusted soldiers and horses to the east of Xiaxiang City, facing the east gate of the city across the river, and set up camp here.

All the soldiers and horses controlled by Yang Kan are not surrounded by a group outside the city of Xiaxiang.

After reorganization, the army has been adjusted into two large battalions, of which the forbidden army led by Yang Kan is the main force, stationed in Suyu, as a mobile force.And Wang Sengbian's soldiers and horses guarded around Xiaxiang City to prevent the other side from besieging the city.

After learning about the movement of the Wei army, Wang Sengbian quickly sent someone to ask Yang Kan for help, hoping that Yang Kan and his army could defeat the Li Yuanzhong or Gao Ao Cao troops of the Wei army, or at least one of them!
Yang Kan said that the Wei army should still have a killer weapon, and now it is just playing against the enemy, and then asked Wang Sengbian to strengthen the defense of the camp around the city and strengthen the cooperation with Yuwentai.

And then no more!

Anyway, Yang Kan has made up his mind that as long as Wei Jun's killer is not available, he will not send troops, lest all his strength be exhausted and unable to cope with the sudden situation!
It has to be said that Yang Kan's use of troops is much more sophisticated than the current Wang Sengbian and Chen Baxian, and he can see what routines Wei Jun is playing at a glance.It's just that he saw that it was useless. Now that Wei Jun is on the offensive, he hasn't shown any flaws for the time being.

As long as Liu Yishou succeeds, Wei Jun will be in a panic when he learns that his old nest has been taken out and the supply road has been cut off.At that time, there will definitely be clues.

It was also at that time that the opportunity to collect the fruits of victory came!

……

After Liu Gui arrived in Peixian County, he got the battle report of the vast lake area to the east of Peixian County, and immediately felt that one head and two big!
The Liang Army, or simply the two small divisions under Liu Yishou's command, were active in the water network in this area, specifically looting and burning the Wei Army's food fleet.

And they can always ambush one step ahead, obviously with the help of local people.

As for why the locals wanted to help Liu Yishou, it was actually quite understandable, because even if those people didn't help Liu Yishou, they wouldn't come to help Gao Huan!These people are willing to show the way for a few bags of rice. What kind of loyalty do they need?
Due to the absence of elite soldiers, the food transport team was repeatedly robbed and unable to fight back. Now the Wei army on the front line is running out of food, and the documents to urge food are coming more frequently every day!

On this day, Liu Gui called Liu Honghui, his second son who was with the army. This son was smart, and Kong Wu was capable of leading the army. Liu Gui planned to let him take over in the future.

"Hui Fan (inscribed by Liu Honghui), look at the situation in Pei County, how should we deal with it?"

Liu Gui is a dictatorial person, very assertive.However, this time it was quite unusual for him to ask the second son what he wanted to do.

"Returning to father, the so-called arrow must be fired when the arrow is on the string, and now the arrow is on the string, and it is imperative to send troops to clear up those Liang soldiers."

Liu Honghui replied respectfully.

Liu Gui nodded slightly. In fact, he thought so too, but he was vaguely uneasy.This kind of anxiety is difficult to describe in words, and there is no reason for it.But uneasiness is uneasiness, an objective phenomenon that Liu Gui cannot deny.

He just couldn't talk to his son.

"Then send troops tomorrow." Liu Gui said with a sigh.Liu Honghui didn't understand why his father was restless, but it was inconvenient to ask.

On the second day, Liu Gui personally led five thousand troops and marched towards the river network and swamp land in the east.Just a few miles out of the city and before entering the swamp area, he was stopped by a cavalry team dressed as Liang Jun.

The word "Peng" is written on the huge military flag.

Liu Gui thought that he was fighting the Liang army in Hewang, and that heavy rifles and other things are useless. You have no room to use them, and they are far less practical than swords and shields.Before leaving the city, he had already changed all the soldiers in the team and took off their armor.

He accidentally fell into the water while wearing armor, and even rescuers couldn't save him.So it can't be said that Liu Gui didn't think about anything. In fact, judging from the enemy's situation Gao Huan described, there was nothing wrong with him leading his troops into battle lightly.

But the cavalry in front of him was obviously beyond the information provided by Gao Huan.

"The sword and shield soldiers cover, and the team slowly retreats, slowly moving towards the county town."

Liu Gui wasn't panicking, and he didn't intend to use light infantry to fight head-on against the cavalry.He ordered calmly, and the sword and shield soldiers protected the light infantry in the formation on the outside.These elite soldiers also knew that the time for the decisive battle had come, and panic meant death.So they were very cooperative, the formation changed quickly, and the army retreated slowly like a single person.

Retreat without chaos.

The cavalry who planned to raid their team also followed up slowly, step by step and very patient, just like hunters hunting, they can even not eat, drink or sleep at critical moments!

Liu Gui commanded calmly, and from time to time, the opposite side would use a bow and crossbow to shoot a few symbolic arrows, trying to disturb the formation of the army.But it didn't have any real effect.

Fine, no problem, that's it!
Liu Gui kept encouraging himself in his heart. Today's weather is also very face-saving. There is no strong wind, no heavy rain, and no bad weather that disturbs the formation.

He seemed to feel that the balance of victory was tilting towards him.As long as the army has its back against the city wall, there will be no more cavalry attacks!
At this moment, Liu Gui looked back and found that the blue flag of Liang State was hanging on the head of Peixian County, not the black flag of Wei State!
His heart sank, and just as he was about to give an order, he heard someone shouting from the head of Pei County: "The city is lost! The city is lost! The city is lost!"

The endless loop over and over again makes people's scalps explode.

Those at the back of the line have already started to commotion. After all, if it is true that the city is lost, you can understand it by looking back!
"Jieyuan Formation! Pass the order down, form a circle formation!"

Liu Gui shouted, but heard the desolate horn sounding from the cavalry on the opposite side.

"Woo! Woo! Woo!"

The horse was accelerating, kicking up a cloud of dust.

The Liang army at the top of the city also began to shoot arrows at the soldiers and horses of the Wei army below the city.With a strong enemy in front and a lost city in the back, Liu Gui only felt that his time was really unlucky, but he never thought that such a "simple task" given to him by Gao Huan would be so "simple".

He pulled out his sword and was about to close his eyes and kill himself when his son Liu Honghui suddenly grabbed the sword.

"Father, let's get out! Keep the green hills here, and don't worry about running out of firewood. If people die, there will be nothing left!"

One word awakened the dreamer, Liu Gui quickly raised his sword, cut a way out from the chaotic army, and fled to the north!

As soon as the main general left, the Wei army could not even maintain the order on the surface, and the chaos spread like a plague. The cavalry brought down the Wei army who had almost given up resistance... It's over, but that's about it.
