Governor please stay

Chapter 384

1 minute on stage, ten years off stage.In order to surprise Xuanhu today, Liu Yishou planned for two months in the early stage, using various means to numb Xin Zuan, making him think that the army in Shouyang would never attack Xuanhu.

At this moment, while yawning, Liu Yishou looked at Xin Zuan's defenders in the arsenal of persuading them to surrender, looking somewhat dispirited.

Are you overestimating your opponent?
Liu Yishou couldn't help but have a question in his heart.

The battle went as smoothly as if it had ended. After the soldiers under his command had dealt with the defenders at the top of the city, Liu Yi's guards pretended to be enemy soldiers who were fighting the watch, and swaggered around the city while beating gongs to confuse those who didn't understand the situation. garrison.

After that, it was like a special operation to deal with each of the defenders' strongholds in the city one by one, all the way to the armory next to the treasury, before being noticed by the soldiers on duty under Xin Zuan's command.

The hard work of the past few months has forced the Xuanhu defenders from Xin Zuan down to think that it is impossible for them to be attacked, and the city is not prepared at all.With such a lax defense, Liu Yishou couldn't figure out how Xin Zuan survived to this day. Logically speaking, this kind of stuff should have been sent long ago!
While contemplating, a group of defenders walked out of the gate of the armory and threw their weapons to the ground. Hu Luxian ordered people to tie them all up, and the final battle in the city ended.

"Liu Dudu, it's okay now."

Xin Zui came out of the armory and asked with a soft sigh.

"How can it be possible to do such a little thing?"

Liu Yishou smiled and said: "There are still more than ten thousand defenders in the cities of Shangcai County (the county where Xuanhu City is located) who have not surrendered. Please Mr. Xin write a letter to persuade them to surrender. You don't want your trilogy to be slaughtered innocently, do you?"

People are knives, I am fish, Xin Zuan has nothing to say, he cupped his hands and said: "This is not a place to write letters, go to the study and write letters."

"Well, sir, write slowly, I'm not in a hurry."

Liu Yishou yawned, turned around and left.

"Where is Governor Liu going?"

Xin Zuan couldn't help asking, feeling that he had been greatly underestimated.

"You've had enough sleep, but I'm still sleepy. I can't sleep during the march!"

Liu Yishou couldn't help saying something.If you stay up late for a long time, you will die suddenly, so he is too lazy to talk nonsense with Xin Zuan.

……

Xuanhu is a newly occupied city, so it is impossible for Liu Yishou to sleep till dawn.He leaned against the head of the bed in the bedroom of Xinzuan's government office, lying down with his clothes on.

In the dream, there is no weirdness, only gold and iron horses.It seems that they are not fighting, or on the way to fighting.Waking up suddenly, Liu Yishou looked around and found that Hu Luxian, Mao Xi, Yang Zhong and others were all staring at him.

"What are you doing? How long have I been asleep?" Liu Yishou sat up and asked, wiping the cold sweat from his forehead.

"My lord, you slept for less than half an hour, but..."

Hu Luxian rubbed his head, not knowing how to describe what happened just now.

"The governor was reciting a poem in his sleep just now:
Qin Shiming Moon and Han Shiguan, Wanli Long March people have not returned.

But so that the Dragon City Feijiang will be there, he will not teach Huma Du Yinshan.

The subordinates have written down this poem. "

Mao Xi said with a strange face.

Liu Dudu's literary talent is amazing, which he did not expect at all before.There is no one who recites impassioned poems in sleep.They thought it was "the prime minister likes to kill people in his dream", but they didn't expect it to be talking in his sleep when he fell asleep.

Mao Xi felt that Liu Yishou didn't look like an ordinary person.

Well, thanks to the absence of the flattering emperor Yang Xiuzhi, Liu Yishou heaved a sigh of relief, stood up, rubbed his face and asked, "Where's Xin Zuan?"

"Going back to the governor, I was sighing in the study, and I seem to be quite resentful about losing this battle." Mao Xi couldn't help teasing.

He is also a young man at heart, this battle is like traveling, it is really not too exciting, he has not seen the cruelty of the battlefield, so naturally he will not be depressed.

"Soldiers, the important affairs of the country, the place of death and life, and the way of survival must be investigated. As the leader of an army, his house was stolen, how can a defeated general speak bravely, he sighs! When a prisoner wants to find existence Sense, what virtue!"

Liu Yishou couldn't help but mocked.

If he himself was defeated and captured, all the women in his family would become other people's playthings.He, Liu, trembles like walking on thin ice all day long, and even if he doesn't complain to the people around him, there is nothing for defeated generals like Xin Zuan to sigh.

Don't you hear that people kill and set fire to gold belts, and bridges and roads are repaired without corpses.Didn't you have the awareness to lead troops out to fight?Fighting a war is a high-risk, high-reward job. It's just a knife-edge licking blood. Life and death are fate, wealth and honor are in the sky, and you can't blame others.

"Go, go and interrogate that salted fish."

Liu Yishou tidied up his crumpled clothes and left the bedroom.

"Salted fish?" Mao Xi paused, his face full of doubts.

"One of the things my lord often says is: Don't care about those details. Anyway, you just need to understand the meaning."

Yang Zhong pressed Mao Xi's shoulder and said, followed Liu Yishou out of the room.

……

In the study, there were only Liu Yishou and Xin Zuan, and the atmosphere was a bit awkward.Xin Zuan was full of questions and didn't know what to say.

"Mr. Xin is confused! Cao's taking over Xuanhu is just to grab credit. Cao Yizong was captured, why bother to kill him and hang his head on the wall? How do you let the emperor of Liang Guo deal with it?"

Liu Yishou couldn't help raising the long-standing doubts in his heart.He had never seen Cao Yizong's body, but Dugu Xin said after finishing the work that there were many new wounds on Cao Yizong's body.

"Cao Yizong was shot by an arrow that day, and died soon after. If I could, I would not hang his city head on the top of Xuanhu City. But if I told you that Cao Yizong died of an arrow wound, would you believe me?"

Xin Zui asked back with a bitter face.

Liu Yishou was speechless.What Xin Zuan said is good, but there is no basis for empty words, who would believe your words!In fact, the result is the same whether you believe it or not, because Cao Shi died on the card, Xiao Yan lost a lot of face, and this place must be recovered no matter what.No matter what Xin Zui said, it was all "sophistry".

"So you hung Cao Yizong's head on the head of Xuanhu City to show your loyalty to Gao Huan, right?"

Liu Yishou already understood Xin Zuan's logic.

"That's right, Dudu Liu's eyes are bright."

Xin Zuan nodded slightly and said.

"Time and destiny are also destiny!"

Liu Yishou couldn't help sighing with emotion, who would have thought that the reason for the "deranged" Xin Zuan to do such a thing was to cover up the fact that Cao Yizong died on the battlefield!
It's just that sometimes when you make a choice, you often can't go back.

"Liu Dudu wrote to my subordinate that day, saying that the two countries will stop fighting. You really keep your word."

Xin Zuan couldn't help sarcastically saying that the letter is now in the drawer under the desk, but he didn't spread it out on the desk because he was afraid of angering Liu Yishou.

"Mr. Xin thought too much. In the letter, he just said that the two countries may stop fighting, or what does that mean? Doesn't Mr. Xin, who has a long history of family education, understand?"

Maybe, that is to say maybe maybe something, anyway, I haven't made a firm decision.

"The two countries may stop fighting, or they may meet each other. Isn't it [-]-[-]?"

Liu Yishou laughed loudly, Xin Zuan was so angry that his face turned red!
"The soldiers and horses of the Cao family outside Anchang City..."

"That's right, they are all peasants, with only two thousand elite soldiers to support the facade. It is a strategy to divert the main force of your army away from the mountain."

Liu Yishou had already guessed what Xin Zuan wanted to ask, and with one sentence, he killed what the other party hadn't said.

"Liu Dudu really knows how to use soldiers."

Xin Zuan understood where he had lost.

"The first is to attack the enemy, the second is to attack the enemy, the second is to attack the army, and the second is to attack the city. Don't Mr. Xin understand these few words? The war started a few months ago, and you don't think that if there is no fighting, there will be no war." let's start?

I am writing to you, sending troops to feign an attack, not placing horses in Huaizhou to show weakness, these are all part of the war.The biggest failure of Mr. Xin is that he believes too much in information and what he sees with his own eyes.

You must know that even if you see it with your own eyes, it may not be true. It is very likely that the enemy deliberately showed it to you.This time, we just use the method of water transportation to transport troops to Xuanhu City, isn't it very simple? "

Liu Yishou asked with a smile.

"That's right, I was worried that you would be attacked by cavalry. Who would have thought that you would go all by water and wouldn't even bury pots for cooking."

Xin Zuan smiled helplessly, he finally knew why the checkpoints on the land did not issue any warning.It was precisely because I believed too much in intelligence that I was sure that Liu Yishou would never send troops.

Or should I put it this way, the opponent did not send troops in the way he expected!
This time Liu Yishou led his troops to the expedition, using the method of "passing flowers by beating drums" to ensure the secrecy of the march to the greatest extent.It was only replenished once in Xincai City, and the rest of the time, they were all on the boat, and they were already under Xuanhu City after getting off the boat.

In this way, Xin Zuan, who was already defenseless, couldn't predict the future, how could he expect the opponent's magic weapon to fall from the sky?
"I lost, but I don't know how Liu Dudu will deal with Xin."

Xin Zuan looked mournful, and his whole person seemed a little depressed.

"If you don't hang Cao Yizong's head on the gourd, you can do things under my command, or I will send you back to the north. However, since you have done everything, you can only let Xiao Yan handle it at that time .”

Liu Yishou sighed and said that he didn't have any opinion on Xin Zuan, after all, what he wanted was only Caizhou where Xuanhu was located and the adjacent Huaizhou, and then through Cao's indirect control of several states and counties further west.

Now that the strategic goal has been achieved, naturally there is no need to embarrass Xin Zuan anymore.Of course, it is impossible to let it go.

"That's right... This is Xin's own fault."

Xin Zuan sighed, Gao Huan could have sent troops to rescue Xuanhu, but he fell into Liu Yishou's trick and declined Gao Huan's reinforcements.Today's situation is purely self-inflicted.

"Liu Dudu uses his troops like a god, and has far-sightedness. Will he be a watchdog for the Xiao family for the rest of his life in the future? Could it be that a woman from the Xiao family tied you up?"

Xin Zuan couldn't help asking.Liu Yishou is like a dragon and a phoenix among others, just like the scorching sun.Even if he doesn't rebel, which emperor can tolerate such a person on one side?
Don't you hear that there are no two days in the sky, and there are no two kings in the country?
Xin Zuan felt that even if Liu Yishou didn't intend to rebel now, he was always preparing to rebel in the future.

"Mr. Xin should think about what to say after meeting Xiao Yan, so as to save his own life. I don't need you to worry about Liu's affairs."

Liu Yishou waved his hand, turned around and left, not bothering to beep with Xin Zuan any more.

"Liu Dudu, if I die, please hang my eyes on the gate of Taicheng. I want to see your army break through Jiankang with my own eyes! I will see what Xiao Yan will tell you that day! Hahahahahahaha!"

Xin Zuan laughed wildly behind Liu Yishou like a maniac, laughing until tears came out.

He had probably expected that this time he was being escorted to Jiankang, it would be bad luck, and it would be nice if he could leave a whole body.It is more likely to learn from Cao Yizong's fate. After beheading, his head was hung on the head of Jiankang City to deter Xiaoxiao.

"Mr. Xin, just let me know if you have any needs along the way. You can talk about what you want to eat or play. I will try my best to satisfy you.

But you can eat indiscriminately, but you can't talk indiscriminately.How could a loyal minister and filial son like me rebel? "

Liu Yishou turned his head and stared at Xin Zuan, and said quietly: "People are more tolerant towards dying people, don't you understand this truth?"

After he left the study, Xin Zuan sat down on the ground as if his bones were falling apart, speechless.

……

Under the city of Anchang, Yu Jin folded his arms and watched the soldiers and horses coming out of the city one after another, threw their weapons on the ground, and then stood in line at the side without any intention of resisting.

"General Yu, my lord said that these prisoners of war will be placed in Tuntian, Anfeng Prefecture, please don't kill them."

Hu Luxian, who was in charge of delivering the letter, said to Jin.

"Well, don't worry, I have nothing to lose in this battle, and I don't want to vent my anger on those prisoners of war."

Yu Jin nodded slightly, feeling weird in his heart.On Liu Yishou's side, he successfully dealt with Xuanhu, and with a move of black tiger's heart, he uprooted Xin Zuan's power, and even avoided a fight on his own side.

I have to say, this trick is really beautiful!
Although he guessed some details, Yu Jin still couldn't help asking: "Is my lord really exchanging a big boat for a small boat, and changing the river channel to go directly to Xuanhu City?"

Yu Jin, a northerner, is still accustomed to using war horses to solve problems in his mind.It was hard for him to imagine that Liu Yishou didn't even use a donkey this time.

"Back to the general, it is true."

Hu Lvxian nodded slightly and said, Liu Yishou has too many routines, he is numb, no matter how weird the tricks are, they are just ordinary.

While the two were chatting, the gray-bearded Cao Jiao walked up to Yu Jin's side and asked cautiously, "General Yu, is this... the end?"

It's hard to imagine that in just two days, Liu Yishou dealt with Xin Zuan in Xuanhu City, and made the defenders in Anchang City Kaesong surrender with a letter of surrender.

"Based on your experience, it's hard for me to explain to you how my lord did it."

Yu Jin couldn't help teasing Cao Jiao.

"Then these prisoners of war..."

Cao Jiao still thought about taking all these people into his own farm as house slaves.

"Where are the prisoners of war?"

Yu Jin glared at Cao Jiao and asked.

Cao Jiao pointed tremblingly at the prisoners of war lined up at the city gate.Yu Jin shook his head and said: "I only see that Anchang is an empty city, and there is no such thing as a prisoner of war."

Cao Jiao bit his lip, thinking of Liu Yishou's surprise attack on Xuanhu, and the ferocity of his troops, he just felt as if he had wandered around the gate of hell just now.He immediately nodded with a smile and said: "Please forgive me, General Yu, I am old and my eyes are blurry, I misread, misread."

"Well, you can bring Cao's family slaves and tenants back and hand over the defense of Huaizhou. You must keep your word and don't make mistakes. I have a good temper, but my master has a very bad temper. , you have to understand this."

Yu Jin couldn't help but beat Cao Jiao and said.

"I understand, I understand." Cao Jiao's mouth was full of bitterness.It's like this a lot of times, when you work too quickly, the employer doesn't think it's worth the money.If Liu Yishou fought hard for several months to conquer Xuanhu, then Cao Jiao must feel that the opponent "has made great achievements through hard work".

Hu Luxian was dumbfounded when he saw Yu Jin even bluffing Cao Jiao by beating on behalf of him.

It's a big deal, the war business is really profitable, as long as you can win, it's up to you to beat the bone and suck the marrow!

The scene in front of him immediately refreshed Hu Luxian's three views.
