Governor please stay

Chapter 380
Mao Xi was very knowledgeable about the current situation. He wrote the letter on behalf of Liu Yishou and sent it to the Cao family who was entrenched in Sizhou. Replace Cao Yizong.

After all, this uncle is over 60 years old, and it has been more than 30 years since Cao Jingzong passed away. The Cao family hopes that Cao Yizong can return to Liang State safely, which can be regarded as returning to the roots to a certain extent.Everyone knows that this uncle has not had a good life for a few years.

Cao Yizong sent troops to Xuanhu, nominally for Liang Guo's country, and now the Cao family is playing the family card again, Xiao Yan is really hard to refuse.If you ignore them this time, who will come forward if something happens in the border town in the future?Ignoring it will break the hearts of many people.

Furthermore, Cao Jingzong is a minister of the dragon, so it is impossible for Xiao Yan to really ignore their family affairs.So a new issue was spread in front of Xiao Yan and Jiankang Center as Mao Xi expected: Who should be sent?

The answer is obvious. Liu Yishou, whose jurisdiction is only one state away from Huaizhou, is the closest, and his strength is extremely powerful, enough to frighten Xin Zuan!
Soon, a government order from the Jiankang Center was issued: Liu Yishou sent troops to Huaizhou, stationed in Guangcheng County (near Hengchuan County, Henan Province), and prepared to attack Xuanhu.

Of course, sending troops is just a gesture, it's just an announcement to the outside world, Xiao Yan also has to face, of course it can't be said that sending someone is to bring Cao Yizong back.

And Liu Yishou received another secret decree: In exchange for Cao Yizong, he can withdraw his troops and don't have to love fighting.

After receiving the official document from the Jiankang court, Liu Yishou announced that he would rest for three days and put aside all other things except necessary government affairs, not to mention sending troops, not even the deployment of military rations, just like a holiday.

Taking advantage of the rest of the day, Liu Yishou was fishing on the bank of Feishui River at the foot of Bagong Mountain in the north of Shouyang. Chen Yuankang and Wang Wei were both on business in Shouyang City and did not follow, while Mao Xi, Hu Luxian and other younger generations The other is to follow along.

Mao Xi looked at the fish he had caught in his bamboo basket, and vaguely saw that the bamboo basket next to Liu Yishou was empty. He wondered whether he should "release water" so as not to make his boss look too ugly.

"Back then, uncle and nephew Xie An, relying on the favorable location of Feishui River and the brave Beifu soldiers, defeated the smug Fu Jian and continued his life for the Jin Kingdom for decades."

Liu Yishou looked at the not-so-wide Feishui and felt emotional.

"The governor now has enough soldiers and food, no worse than the Beifu soldiers back then."

Mao Xi complimented.

"Forget it, so many things from ancient to modern times are just jokes. Today, the surname is not Sima, and I am not Xie An." Liu Yishou was paralyzed when he couldn't catch fish as always.

"Captain, the imperial court ordered me to send troops to Xuanhu, why did you hold back the troops? Haven't we been planning this all along?"

Mao Xi asked curiously.

"Did the emperor give me the official position of governor of Huaizhou?"

Liu Yishou asked back with a smile, but did not answer the other party's question.

Huaizhou is the only way for the north to invade the south from Henan, and the defense of Huaizhou is not trivial.

"Well, I didn't mention it in the official document." Mao Xi said awkwardly.

"Isn't that right? The imperial court refused to even give me the official position of governor. Since Cao Yizong's family is not in a hurry, I am even less in a hurry. Let them hang out first."

Liu Yishou waved his hand and said, Mao Xi was taken aback.

This horse rider really doesn't see rabbits and doesn't scatter eagles!

Although he is a son-in-law, this Dudu Liu didn't take Xiao Yan seriously at all. As long as it is unprofitable, then he has never heard of it.

"Come, come, come!"

Liu Yishou's fishing rod sank suddenly, as if a fish was biting the hook, and it was a big one at that.

"Snapped!"

The fish was too big and unhooked.Liu Yishou pulled up the empty bamboo pole, and all the fishhooks on it disappeared.It was hard to keep the fish from running away, but the fishing line was tossed and broken because the fish was too big.

"The governor really caught a big fish." Hu Luxian, who was behind him, admired.

It's a pity that the horse's ass was patted on the horse's leg, and Liu Yishou sighed helplessly: "Forget it, go shoot a rabbit or something in the woods."

After Hu Luxian left, Liu Yishou turned his head and asked Mao Xi, "How do you think we should deal with this time?"

What Xiao Yan meant was that it would be fine to switch back to Cao Yizong.But what Liu Yishou wanted was obviously not to exchange that bad old man Cao Yizong back.

"During the previous dynasty, Xuanhu was originally under the control of the State of Wei, but since the fall of the Six Towns, the border of Liang State has moved northward, and now the prefecture and county where Xuanhu is located is like an iron nail, embedded in the border of Liang State.

If God does not take, you will be blamed.When the governor sends troops this time, he must seize the hanging gourd and return.With this place, Yingchuan can be threatened to the north, and Huaizhou can be retreated to the south.

Furthermore, if Xuanhu is attacked, Wei Guo will send his future to rescue him, and the governor must also be prepared to fight against it. "

Mao Xi was not familiar with the situation in the north, but Liu Yishou knew that once Xuanhu was lost, Yingchuan would not be safe, and Gao Huan's fragile nerves would definitely be aroused.So the other party will also send the main force from Yecheng to rescue.

In this case, it is tantamount to making things worse.Xiao Yan is probably also in view of this, so he hopes to control the scale of the war, and it will be fine if he can return Cao Yizong.All political and military actions, whether coercion or temptation, revolve around "substitution".

This is the fundamental difference between Xiao Yan and Liu Yishou on this matter.Liu Yishou's current status is a member of Liang Guobian Town, of course he is not afraid of making things worse, anyway, Xiao Yan will stand up for the sky falling!

"The ones I met before were all native chickens and tile dogs, and it happened to be training soldiers this time."

Liu Yishou looked at the Feishui in front of him, and understood a little bit how Xie An was feeling back then.Life is like this, often encounter many dislikes, difficult things to do, but have to do, and even try hard to do well.

Backing Liang Guo is of course not necessary to fight desperately like Gao Huan and the others, but like a frog boiled in warm water, after a long time, you will be assimilated by those mediocre people.

What Xiao Yan thought this time was just to change Cao Yizong back, how uninspiring it is!

At this moment, a gentle footstep approached slowly from behind, and then a pair of soft little hands covered Liu Yishou's eyes.

"Guess who I am?"

The man deliberately suppressed his voice and asked.

"Mary? Sunny? Or Ivory?"

Liu Yishou asked with a smile on his face.

"What are these and what? They are all unheard of."

That person sat next to Liu Yishou, and it turned out to be Yang Jiang.This year she gave birth to a son, and now she is also a mother, but her personality is still the same as before.

"Why are you here?"

Liu Yishou asked curiously, Yang Jiang should be in Shouyang City now.

"Eh? Don't you know, today is your birthday. Mrs. Jia asked me to call you back for dinner."

Yang Jiang lightly tapped Liu Yishou's head with his hand and said.

"Is that so? How do you know?"

Liu Yishou had a weird face, he couldn't even remember when his birthday was.

"Wang Wei said so."

Yang Jiangmian said without changing his expression.Liu Yishou remembered that it was fine if he had no father or mother and couldn't find it. If he didn't even have his birthday, it would be too fake, so he made up one with Wang Wei and others, and declared that it was the case.

This birthday was programmed so sloppily that Liu Yishou didn’t remember it himself. It’s like writing down a number as a password when you go to the bank to open a card. You may remember it at the time, but you will definitely forget it within two days.

"Forget it, let's consider it today. You come fishing, and I'll watch from the side." Liu Yishou rehooked the fishing line and handed the bamboo pole to Yangjiang.

Mao Xi didn't look sideways, and didn't look at Liu Yishou and Yang Jiang who were whispering in their ears.He understood that this was Yang Kan's daughter, and he thought that if soldiers came to Jiankang and besieged Taicheng in the future, Yang Kan would try every means to open the door for Liu Yishou.

Or he will be suspected and face investigation.Anyway, for Liu Yishou, Yang Kan, the Zhige general who can fight, has been abolished, and he will even be a leader.

Seeing the big from the small, Liu Yishou is really scheming!
Mao Xi understands why everyone under Liu Yishou's command is so convinced and ready to do whatever he wants.No one is a fool, many things are seen through but not revealed.

In the future, Liu Yishou only needs to write a letter to Yang Kan, saying that Yang Kan's grandson will be made the prince in the future, and there is no need to think about what will happen then.

"Yanghu, the ancestor of your family, said a very famous sentence back then."

Having nothing to do, Liu Yishou simply talked about the allusion of the Taishan Yang family.

"What are you talking about?" Yang Jiang looked puzzled.

"The world is unsatisfactory, and there are always seven or eight out of ten, so there must be a break. This is what your ancestor Yang Hu said. If life is not satisfactory in this world, if one of the ten things is as you like, then it is already very good. The so-called It’s up to man to make things happen, and that’s what I’m talking about.”

"If you are not satisfied, there will be no satisfied person in the world."

Yang Jiang said angrily, at this moment, the fish took the bait.She lifted it hard, and a big fish that was as long as a forearm was pulled up.

Sure enough, Liu Yishou is the only one who can't catch fish... Mao Xi looked at the scene in front of him thoughtfully.

……

Xuanhu City has a long history and was built very early. It was recorded in Li Daoyuan's "Shui Jing Zhu": "Ru River flows east to the north of Xuanhu City. It looks like a hanging gourd, so it was named."

Since the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Xuanhu has been the seat of the prefecture, county, mansion and county seat.This place can not only go north to Bianluo, but also go south to Jingchu, and it has always been a place that military strategists must contend for.

Xin Zuan, who guards Xuanhu, is actually not directly related to Gao Huan.On this day, Xin Zuan received a letter written by Liu Yishou, hoping that Xin Zuan could release Cao Yizong and the two countries would stop fighting.

Of course, this letter is just asking for directions, and no one will let go of their chips just because of a letter with empty teeth.

However, Xin Zuan faced a more serious problem.

He couldn't let him go, because Cao Yizong was dead!
That's right, Cao Yizong was wounded by an arrow when he was captured, and he didn't get timely treatment after being imprisoned, and he was very old, just an old man in his 60s, so he died like this.

So now there is a problem in front of us, it seems that the way of "low cost" to settle this matter is blocked!
Putting Cao Yizong back should allow Liang Guo to stop fighting.It's just that Cao Yizong is dead now, who knows if he was tortured to death by Xin Zuan?

Even if Xin Zuan had a mouth all over his body, he might not be able to explain it clearly.Since you can't say it clearly, then simply don't say it.

In the signing room in Xuanhu City, Xin Zuan asked Li Guang (this Li Guang is not Li Guang of the Western Han Dynasty) in his desk doctor: "Liu Yishou has gained fame over the years, and he is brave and good at fighting. He once defeated Fei Mu, Yang Kan, Er Zhurong and others are well-known in the north. If he comes to attack this time, what will he do?"

Xuan Hu's status is very important, but here is not a natural danger that is difficult to overcome. It still needs reinforcements to defend it, otherwise it is only a matter of time before it is conquered.

The trick of false surrender has already been used once, and if it is used again the second time, I'm afraid it will not work very well.

"For the current plan, we can only ask Gao Wang for help."

Li Guang cupped his hands and said.

This is really a big truth.

Xin Zuan stroked his long beard, silent.Now his status is tantamount to listening to the tune and not listening to the announcement, and he is just relying on Gao Huan in name.If he asked Gao Huan for help, he would definitely become a subject under the control of the other party after the matter was completed.

"Now that King Gao is sending troops to attack Er Zhurong, do you have enough energy to support us? Besides, I have never had any contact with the people from the Six Towns. Even if they come, will they be willing to support us wholeheartedly?"

Xin Zuan asked two questions that hit the soul.

"Captain, now the main force under King Gao is in Jinzhou. However, Li Yuanzhong, Feng Longzhi and others are still sitting in Hebei and have not moved lightly. Perhaps you can ask King Gao to send Feng Longzhi and others to lead troops south to relieve Xuanhu. Crisis."

Li Guang cupped his hands and said.

"In this way, you ordered someone to dispose of Cao Yizong's body, and the head was chopped off and hung on the top of Hucheng City to show your determination. After Gao Wang learned about this, he would definitely not doubt that we have the heart to take refuge in Xiao Yan."

Xin Zuan clenched his fists and said.

Li Guang gasped, this was to offend Cao Shi to death, if Liu Yishou sent troops to Xuanhu in the future, Cao Shi would definitely cooperate with Liu Yishou to ensure logistics.But if he didn't do this, Gao Huan wouldn't understand Xin Zuan's thoughts, and if the reinforcements dragged their feet, it would cause extremely serious consequences.

The lesser of two evils, since Cao Yizong is dead, no matter how subdued they are, the Cao family and Liang Guo will treat Xin Zuan and his group as slapping enemies.

It's a choice without a choice!

Li Guang sighed and said: "It is also feasible for the governor to withdraw from Xuanhu and use Yingchuan as the foundation. If the people of Xuanhu are moved out and farmed in Yingchuan, this Xuanhu city is like a chicken rib, and it is useless to obtain it.

Now the governor is stationed in Xuanhu, and this city in Liang State is like a sore in the flesh, which must be dug.Liu Yishou is determined to win this battle both emotionally and rationally, so why does the governor have to face his edge? "

Xuanhu is very important, but not as important as life, there is no need to fight Liang Guo's soldiers here, especially the one who sent troops is still Liu Yishou!
"I have made up my mind, there is no need to say more."

Xin Zhuan said with a firm face.If he was a soft persimmon, when Cao Yizong came to ask for Xuanhu, he would have given it up to the other party, why bother to feign surrender and make things worse.

"So, then I will prepare."

Li Guang sighed, bowed his hands and left.

……

One day, Xiao Yan was arguing with some monks who came to Jiankang from other places in the Golden Buddha Pavilion of Tongtai Temple. Suddenly Zhu Yi came to look for him. Xiao Yan was very unhappy and dismissed the monks, and then asked with a straight face: "What's the matter?" You can't make up your own mind, you want to ask me?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, Xin Zuan beheaded Cao Yizong and hung it on the wall to show his determination to fight Liang Jun to the death."

Is there such a thing?

Xiao Yan felt like he was being slapped in the face crazily, but he had promised Cao Jiao and vowed to exchange Cao Yizong back.

"What about Liu Yishou, why didn't you send troops?"

Xiao Yan asked with a cold face.

"Uh, he is probably waiting for the appointment of the governor of Huaizhou." Zhu Yi said awkwardly.

This is his guess, but judging from Liu Yishou's current sloppy attitude, the reason is obviously this.

"Give it to him, give it to him! I just need to escort Xin Zuan to Jiankang and ask him why he wanted to kill Cao Yizong!"

Xiao Xiansheng said angrily that he hadn't been angry for a long time, especially when he was slapped in the face by the governor of a mere border town of Wei State.
