Governor please stay

Chapter 345 There are still many good people in the world

People are very different, and sometimes it is difficult to describe them in words.

At this very moment, on a bright spring afternoon, in a certain courtyard in Xiapi City, Liu Yishou was looking at the endgame of a Go game on a stone table.And beside him was a middle-aged man with a tired expression, his hands still in shackles, kneeling on the ground like a death row prisoner waiting to be released.

It may be too much to say that he is on death row, but he is indeed still a prisoner.

Yuan Shikang and others stood behind Liu Yishou like stone statues, not only saying nothing, but almost not even moving.

"General Zhao, right?"

Liu Yishou put a black chess piece somewhere on the chessboard carved on the stone table, and raised his head to look at Zhao Bochao who was wearing a prison uniform in front of him.This person was sent back unconditionally by Sun Teng, and when he arrived in Xiapi City, there were no flowers and applause waiting for him.

Only a cold prison!
Under the background of Gao Huan's fleeing, Wei Jun's large-scale retreat and even Gao Ao Cao's troops being wiped out, the entire Liang Army in Wuyuan City was wiped out.Zhao Bochao, who is the governor, is naturally the best scapegoat.

Whether he was guilty or not, the ending would not have been much worse.Because of such a disastrous defeat, and with Yang Kan's victory over Gao Aocao as a comparison, would Xiao Yan put the blame on Xiao Ji and Xiao Zhengde?
That is obviously impossible.Xiao Yan asked them to plate gold, not to wipe shit on them.

So why did the army lose so badly?
That must be the problem of Liu Zhongli, Zhao Bochao, Hu Guisun and other leading commanders!How could it be the problem of the prince and clan!
At this moment, Zhao Bochao was extremely disturbed, because Liu Yishou was already his only life-saving straw.

"Sinner Zhao Bochao, meet Liu Dudu."

Zhao Bochao said cautiously, but also very respectfully.

Suddenly, Yuan Shikang kicked his ass fiercely, and warned sharply: "You were also the governor before, and now you call my master also the governor. Is my master the same as you before? The word governor is also what you can call ?”

Zhao Bochao fell into the mud, but he didn't dare to attack Yuan Shikang.He knew very well that he was on the line of life and death, and whether he could survive depended on how he behaved now.

"The sinner made a slip of his tongue, the sinner pays respects to Commander Liu!"

The word "dudu" is not preceded by "big", just like the word "staff" is not followed by "long", the difference can be said to be the difference between clouds and mud.

The youngest governor only has about 100 people, so he is really not a great person.However, the word "Great Governor" is very important. Commanding the military forces in several states, it is not just talking about rebellion.

Can the two be discussed together?

"Hey, don't be so rude."

Liu Yishou waved his hand at Yuan Shikang feigning displeasure, looked at Zhao Bochao with a smile and asked, "Do you know that many people want you dead now, and even whispered in my ear that they would kill you. The princes of the family are innocent, and all the fault is that you, the subordinate, are incompetent, leading to the disastrous defeat of the three armies, have you figured out the current situation?"

"Sinners understand, understand!"

Zhao Bochao, who had a strong desire to survive, knelt on the ground and kowtowed, bleeding from his forehead.

"Okay, I just want to know, Wei Jun has already been defeated, why did you lose the battle?"

Liu Yishou asked in bewilderment, this matter is just some piecemeal conjecture, and has not been described in detail by the "participant".Liu Yishou really wanted to learn a lesson from this incident.

Isn't there a saying: the teacher who does not forget the past is the teacher of the future.

"Governor Liu, this is how things go."

Zhao Bochao informed Liu Yishou of everything after he found out that the Wei army had lifted the siege, and never let go of any details he knew, even including Xiao Zhengde's attempt to surrender to the Wei army, and then he was ready to act, but the Wei army suddenly withdrew the next day.

After talking for a long time before finishing, Liu Yishou waved to Yuan Shikang, who gave Zhao Bochao a disdainful look, then reluctantly unshackled his hands, and gave him another pot of wine.

The whole thing is complicated and complicated, the right time, place and people are harmonious, and all kinds of accidental events with extremely bad luck have been encountered by them.But it's simple to say, it's just that people's hearts are not enough to swallow elephants, and there is nothing strange about the matter itself.

At that time, Xiao Zhengde, Xiao Ji and others discovered that Wei Jun had made a rescue, and then sent Liu Zhongli out to investigate the situation.Liu Zhongli, who was "extremely lucky", captured a small group of Wei Jun scouts who had lost contact.The prisoners were interrogated and learned that Rencheng, the rear of the Wei army, was attacked by the Liang army, and all the troops retreated, extremely embarrassed.

This kind of thing didn't look like it was pretended. While Xiao Zhengde and the others breathed a sigh of relief, they discovered a major event that was extremely unfavorable to them!
Yang Kan was so fierce that he reversed the situation as soon as he arrived with his soldiers and horses, causing the Wei army to retreat in embarrassment, unable to attack again (that's what Xiao Zhengde and others thought at the time).Doesn't that in turn prove that their Liang army who went to Lanling and other places before were all full of wine bags and rice bags?
This is like doing a test paper, if the whole class fails, that's all.If some people get full marks and some fail, those who fail, I am afraid life will be very difficult!
The key issue is that not only Xiao Zhengde and Xiao Ji thought so, but Liu Zhongli, Zhao Bochao and others also thought so!If they return in vain, how will they explain the "Northern Expedition" when they go back?
Everyone got together and thought about it, and they all agreed that they should not just retreat to Xiapi in such a mess, or the sad days are still to come.Now that the Wei army has retreated, can Lanling be occupied again?
I don't know who made this suggestion at the time, but everyone present felt that it was feasible.In fact, logically speaking, it doesn't seem to be a big problem to deal with it this way.

For example, at the time when Liu Yishou asked Zhao Bochao, there was no main force of the Wei army in Lanling.

If at that time Xiao Zhengde and others led the troops to play the banner of "counterattack", plant a flag at Lanling, wave it around and come back.Looks like a good fig leaf!

And it seems that the risk is not too great. Think about it, Wei Jun’s supply roads have been cut off, and the coach’s old nest has been taken away. This is a good advantage for me!

Then Xiao Ji and Xiao Zhengde both wanted to take credit, and neither was willing to defend Wuyuan City, so they both sent troops to Lanling together.

"You mean, the general of that Wei army is very young, his name is Duan Shao, right?"

Liu Yishou propped his chin, thinking to himself thoughtfully.

"Back to the governor, that's right. We thought that the Wei army was exhausted after a long battle, and it should be powerless to fight again. I didn't expect to be ambushed by them. Those people are really fierce when they fight!"

Until now, Zhao Bochao is a little unbelievable.After fighting for such a long time, people will be exhausted, and the Wei army seems to have been resting before, and now they just joined the battle.

Liu Yishou sighed helplessly.

Isn't this stepping horse the trump card that Sun Teng is going to give Yang Kan!Zhao Bochao was right. The soldiers and horses led by Duan Rong and his son were not only the most elite lineage under Gao Huan's command, but also had been resting all the time. They had never had any large-scale battles with any large army before.

In other words, the hammer that was supposed to hit Yang Kan fell on Xiao Zhengde and the others...then they were crushed to death.

That army was originally prepared to deal with Liang Jun's elite!To some extent, it can even be said that it is directed at Liu Yishou!If some unscrupulous governor hadn't led the farmer to fish along the south bank of Sui River, the hammer would have fallen on him long ago.

Xiao Zhengde and Xiao Ji, who wanted to steal chickens, met Duan's father and son, who had returned in vain and had a stomach full of anger, near Lanling, as well as elite soldiers who had hardly participated in the war.

In fact, the ending of the annihilation of the entire army is not unimaginable. After all, the morale of this Liang army has long since collapsed.

"You are really unlucky enough."

Liu Yishou really wanted to comfort Zhao Bochao, but he didn't know how to say it. If it's really to blame, then it's bad luck.Sometimes luck is also a part of strength.

"So, what do you want to do now?"

Liu Yishou looked at Zhao Bochao kneeling on the ground with a half-smile and asked.

"Great governor, help!"

Zhao Bochao knelt on the ground and begged.

Liu Yishou stood up, walked back and forth in the yard, pondered for a while, and said to Zhao Bochao who was kneeling on the ground: "Captain Zhao has been defeated repeatedly, oh no, he has been defeated repeatedly, and his courage is commendable. It is even more important to lead troops to take back Lanling." Loyalty to the country is full of songs and tears.

However, the Wei army had too many people, and Zhao Dudu was outnumbered, so it was helpless to be captured in the end.

However, even though he was deeply trapped in the enemy camp, Zhao Dudu was still unyielding, covered in bruises all over his body, and refused to reveal our country's important military affairs.If these loyal and brave people are severely punished by the central government, how can they strengthen the morale of the army and boost their morale? "

Hearing this, Zhao Bochao was so pleasantly surprised that he almost hugged Liu Yishou's thigh and called him father.

No, my own father is not as good as Liu Dudu!

"My lord, the pen and ink are here."

Yang Xiuzhi handed the brush to Liu Yishou with both hands.

The little clever ghost is really sensible!
Liu Yishou thought to himself, Yang Xiuzhi's talent is not top-notch, but he is capable in doing things, and his ability to look and flatter him is really not something to brag about.

"Captain Zhao, there are many ungrateful people in this world, and I have met many. Guess what happened to them in the end?"

Liu Yishou walked up to Zhao Bochao, but he didn't let him stand up.

"Sinners will definitely look up to the governor in the future!"

Zhao Bochao kowtowed fiercely and said, he knew that there must be hatred for no reason in this world, but there is absolutely no love for no reason.It is absolutely impossible for Liu Yishou to "raise his hands high" without paying the price!

"Very well, I am very optimistic about your ability. But you need a promise in black and white to win people's trust, isn't it?"

Liu Yishou handed the pen to Zhao Bochao and said.

"You can sit on the ground and write, or...keep kneeling until dark."

How could someone like Zhao Bochao kneel until dark!He didn't even think about it, he just sat on the ground and wrote, then he wrote disgusting flattery words to express his loyalty, and finally bit his finger and pressed the bloody handprint.

After the ink was dry, Zhao Bochao carefully handed the paper to Liu Yishou who was sitting at the stone table watching the endgame, and then stepped aside respectfully.

"Yuan Shikang, take Dudu Zhao down, beat him hard, hard, make sure the wounds all over his body are bloody. But don't beat him to death.

How could Dudu Zhao, who fought bloody battles, not be injured?You see he is so fair and clean, isn't that telling others that he eats well and lives well at Wei Jun's side?Does that look like it? "

Liu Yishou really guessed right, Sun Teng treated Xiao Ji and Xiao Zhengde extremely courteously, and the food and lodging were first-class facilities.Even Xiao Zhengde's excessive request to play with women, Sun Teng was very satisfied.

Zhao Bochao was locked up in Yanzhou for a while, and he gained a lot of weight!

So this is ah!

Zhao Bochao put a flattering smile on his face, bowed his head and said to Yuan Shikang: "General Yuan, hit me hard, don't hold back."

After they left, the young eagle shooter Hu Luxian looked at the direction Zhao Bochao left with a look of contempt, wondering why a hero like Liu Yishou would accept such an incompetent and useless villain like Zhao Bochao.

"Don't understand, right?"

Liu Yishou turned his head and asked with a smile.

Since coming to Liu Yishou's side, many things have subverted the imagination, Hu Luxian cupped his hands and said: "My lord...that is a clever calculation, I really don't know."

"Zi Lie (the name of Yang Xiu), please explain it to King Luo Diao."

Liu Yishou patted Yang Xiuzhi on the shoulder and said.

"A person like Zhao Bochao, as long as he stands on the enemy's side, he can drag the enemy down. For example, this time. Didn't the lord always say that he is afraid of teammates like pigs? This is the kind of person."

Yang Xiu pointedly said, not daring to go into too much detail, because Liu Yishou often does things one step at a time, and you never know what his backhand is.

"Oh, that's it." Hu Lvxian rubbed his head, wondering how Liu Yishou was going to get Zhao Bochao to the enemy's side. If he gathered Zhao Bochao, wouldn't he be one of his own? How could he be an enemy?
For a while, he fell into confusion again.

……

In order to show his sincerity in exchanging prisoners, Sun Teng, who was in Yanzhou, released Zhao Bochao. Soon, Liu Yishou sent someone to deliver a letter and a painting.

The letter said that there must be a reply there, but Sun Teng doesn't quite understand what the painting means.

The green grass is green, the beauty is frowning and looking at the river bank, there is a poem left under the painting.

Yang Xiuzhi really didn't want to leave his "clumsy work" on the painting, he was worried that Liu Yishou would occupy a lot of land in the future, and he would become an official and become bigger, if someone dug up this painting in the future, he would be "dead" immediately .

So Yang Xiuzhi inscribed a poem written by Liu Yishou that he had copied before.

"When we meet, it is difficult to say goodbye, and the east wind is powerless to leave a hundred flowers.

When the silkworm is dead, the silk will be exhausted, and the torch will turn into gray and tears will begin to dry.

Xiao Jing, but the clouds change, Ye Yin should feel the moonlight cold.

There are not many ways to go to Pengshan, and the blue bird is attentive to visit. "

Sun Teng has a good literary talent. Seeing that this poem is very extraordinary, seeing that Lie Xinxi copied it, and then opened the letter, his expression changed drastically!

The letter said: Han Gui's sister Han Zhihui was captured, and now she is in Xiapi. This painting is based on Han Zhihui.Mrs. Han is pretty and beautiful. All the generals under my command, Mr. Liu, were quite moved, but considering that this is Gao Huan's concubine and should not be moved lightly, so I haven't done anything to Mrs. Han for the time being.

Worried that Gao Huan missed his first love, he pretended to make this painting, hoping that Sun Teng would give it to Gao Huan, so that he could see things and think about others.

I hope that Mr. Sun will take his lord into consideration and take Miss Han back soon, so that the two of them will not be able to see each other as far apart as the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl.

As for how to "pick up" Han Zhihui back, Liu Yishou didn't say anything in the letter, but presumably it can't be done with empty words.

After reading the letter, Sun Teng felt the world's deep malice towards him.Gao Huan didn't let him go, and it seemed that Liu Yishou didn't intend to let him go either.
