Governor please stay

Chapter 405 There are so many Kaifus like dogs, Yitong Sansi walks all over the street
Boom!The spring rain came so urgently that the tall and majestic Taicheng City looked rather desolate and even eerie in the rain.

Xiao Gang, the emperor whose rule was crumbling, slumped powerlessly on the dragon chair in the Shigan Hall. His whole body seemed to be sucked away by a monster, leaving only a shell waiting to decay.

All the palace people were screened out, Xiao Gang was the only one here, feeling the oppression caused by the closed Jiankang Palace.That kind of silence, like the oppressive feeling of being abandoned by the whole world.

"It's gone, it's gone."

Xiao Gang muttered to himself.

I got the news this morning that Lanqin was defeated in Wuhu and was burned to death in the government office.The army was almost wiped out, and no one escaped.The elite soldiers that Xiao Gang had placed high hopes on in front were wiped out in ashes.

After hearing the news, Xiao Gang was extremely calm, and came to the Shigan Hall alone, slumped on the dragon chair in a daze.He has given up treatment, and it doesn't matter what he does.

Just like a student who found out one month before the college entrance examination that he was still a student with a perfect score of [-] in each subject, but could only get [-] or [-] points in the exam forever, what's the point of reading again?

Destroy it all, that's all.

Xiao Gang sighed silently, motionless like a dead fish.

"Your Majesty, the situation of the battle is still uncertain, so don't give up lightly. Xiao Yi just won the battle of Wuhu, and he hasn't arrived at Jiankang City yet."

Liu Jin walked slowly to Xiao Gang's side, and said cautiously.

What else can I do if I don't say that, will Xiao Yi let him and his son Liu Zhongli go if he surrenders now?Even thinking about it is impossible.Liu Jin and Xiao Gang are on the same boat now, and everyone will die if they die.

"It's gone, it's gone. Even if Liu Zhongli returns to Jiankang, it's just a little more time to catch his breath. What else can we do?"

Xiao Gang was originally a person with weak willpower, but now all thoughts are lost, and he no longer thinks about it.He also knew that Liu Zhongli could not defeat Xiao Yi's troops.

"Your Majesty, I have three strategies. Use them at the same time, or you may be able to struggle for a while."

Liu Jin said calmly.

Xiao Gang regained his spirit immediately.

If Liu Jin brazenly said that he could counterattack or something like Liu Yishou's previous life, an actor president who ran the train with his mouth full of mouth, then he planned to go directly to the bedroom to sleep, not to do what he thought.

However, Liu Jin is now speaking conservatively, and it is likely that these strategies are really effective.

"Speak, I'm listening."

Xiao Gang said weakly, and didn't expect much.

"The tyrants in Sanwu, they were originally low-ranking officials, and they didn't show their status in the court, so they could only serve in the prefectures and counties. We can give them official positions arbitrarily.

Such as Kaifu, Yitong Sansi, Sanqi Changshi, etc., give as much as you can, and don't hesitate.

If Xiao Yi occupies Jiankang, the positions assigned to these people will definitely be revoked, so it is time for them to actually send troops to King Qin of Jiankang. "

Liu Jin made a ruthless move against Xiao Gang, which can be called "Seven Injuries Fist".

"Uh, but with such a reward, how will we end up in the future? The court's reward has been reduced to a trifle, wouldn't it make the world laugh?"

Xiao Gang asked inexplicably.

Many of Liang Guo's tyrannical powers have not been officially recognized, especially those powerful chiefs in the south.If so, they are already domineering in the local area, lawless, and rebellious from time to time.

If they are given official rewards, those people are afraid that they will put their noses in the face!
"Your Majesty, if you can't make it through tomorrow, how can you talk about the future?"

Liu Jin said sadly.

"Well, it seems to make sense."

Xiao Gang couldn't help sitting up straight, he was no longer as lazy as before.Liu Jin has a good saying, if tomorrow is over, why care about the future?
Putting on a big mess and making Xiao Yi exhausted to clean it up, isn't it just out of anger?

With the thought of "I'm sad, so don't you", Xiao Gang seemed to cheer up again.

"Also, tell me quickly, what else can I do?"

Xiao Gang asked excitedly.

"Central courtiers, some people are not favored by His Majesty, but their families are very rich, the treasury is filled with wealth, and the ropes threading the copper coins are all rotten.

It's better to catch them all in one go, and reward the soldiers and horses of various ministries in Jiankang with the money obtained by raiding their homes.In this way, presumably the soldiers will be very motivated to fight. "

Liu Jin said calmly, as for the person he was referring to, he could guess with his toes. He was referring to Zhu Yi who was cast idle after Xiao Gang ascended the throne, and was currently unemployed at home waiting for his "recovery".

However, I am afraid that what Zhu Yi is waiting for at home is not "Qifu", but a bloody butcher's knife.

"Zhu Yi has been an important minister for decades, wouldn't it be a good idea to just copy his house?"

Xiao Gang is still a shameless person, and at this juncture he ransacked his house, and his appearance is too ugly.

"Your Majesty, we don't rob the house. After Xiao Yi enters the city, he will also rob the house in order to reward the three armies. Instead of letting Xiao Yi do it, let us do it ourselves."

Apparently, Liu Jin didn't seem to intend to hide anything from his little thoughts.Copying Zhu Yi's house can not only get military expenses, but also eliminate potential political opponents. Why not kill two birds with one stone?
"It seems that it is not impossible to do so."

Xiao Gang thought for a moment and said.He understands that Xiao Yi is not a good bird after all, it is better to ransack the house by himself, even if nothing is lost in the end, than to leave those money to Xiao Yi.

"What about the third strategy?"

Xiao Gang felt that Liu Jin's idea was on point today. Sure enough, people need some pressure to be motivated to do things well?

"Spread rumors in Jiankang City, saying that the military discipline of Xiao Yi's army is very bad, and they will rob all the way (this is indeed true). Then let those wealthy households contribute money and work, and move their families to Taicheng !"

Well, if the first two strategies were just a little bit bad, the last one is almost as bad as it gets.

This is to let the rich, bureaucrats, and dignitaries in Jiankang City live and die with Taicheng.If you want to die, everyone will die together.

"What if they don't want to?"

Xiao Gang asked suspiciously.These people like to make troubles on weekdays, especially the gang in Wuyi Lane.Is it really okay to let them all live in Taicheng now?
"If you don't want to, then you are Xiao Yi's accomplice. Such a person can directly ransack the house and confiscate the property as military expenses."

Liu Jin said murderously.

Xiao Gang gasped, Lan Qin's fiasco opened the door to the west of Jiankang, and forced Liu Jin to make a killer move.It can be imagined that even if Xiao Yi was repelled this time, the small Jiankang court would completely lose popular support, and it would not take a few years to recover.

Moreover, a large number of local tycoons and chieftains who have obtained "court certification" have been established in the country, which can be said to be a disaster.

In the past, Liu Jin didn't come up with such a bad idea, because he thought that relying on the power of the court could quell the rebellion of the vassal king, and there was no need to make trouble for himself.

Now that the situation has changed, since it is hard to say whether Xiao Gang can continue to sit in this position in the future, let's just give it a go.

Give it a go, a bicycle becomes a motorcycle, and if you miss it, you will be in the underworld, there is nothing to hesitate.

"Liu Qing's family... I really..."

Xiao Gang swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and stuttered for a moment, not knowing what to say.

"There is no other way for this minister, just a few, please make a decision. Afterwards, you can put all the responsibility on this minister."

Liu Jin said calmly.

"Then... that's fine."

Xiao Gang sighed lightly and nodded slightly.Surrendering and accepting rebels along the way, when Xiao Yi's soldiers and horses arrived in Jiankang, there were probably quite a few of them.At least there are more troops than the imperial court, and their morale is high.

On the other hand, in Jiankang City, the elites all followed Xiao Gang, and the Yangkan Department couldn't fully trust them. As for the others, it doesn't matter whether they are mentioned.

"Weichen will do it now."

Liu Jin rolled up his sleeves and bowed to Xiao Gang, turned around and left, and after a while his figure disappeared into the rain outside the palace.

"Oh, why is this, why is this."

Xiao Gang sighed with emotion.

……

Xiao Ying, Chen Baxian and others took the trilogy to Qiantang by sea boat, and then transferred to Wuxing by boat.Going back to your own place, don't mention how happy you are.Both Xiao Ying and Chen Baxian have deep connections in Wu Xing.

The two soon got in touch with Wu Xingshen's and other powerful families, and agreed to raise troops and go north to Jiankang Qinwang.However, the news of Lan Qin's defeat was like a bolt from the blue, which directly made Xiao Ying dumbfounded.

As soon as he got the news, Xiao Ying called for Chen Baxian, and the two discussed countermeasures.

"Whether I want to go north now, or accept Xiao Gang's appointment, this king is not sure."

Xiao Ying smiled wryly and said to Chen Baxian: "After all, Xiao Yi didn't say he would kill me, and taking refuge in Xiao Yi is also a way to go."

Hearing this, Chen Baxian secretly thought, Xiao Ying is not the only one who thinks this way, and after the Wuhu battle, many people will praise Xiao Yi's stinky feet.

"Your Highness, the people of the world despise the dynasty towards Qin and the lateness of Chu. No matter how grandiose Xiao Yi's rebellion is, it is just a vassal king's rebellion and his rebellion. No matter how you say it, Xiao Gang is the crown prince's successor, and his name is justified.

It would be fine if His Highness didn't say a word before, and it's okay to pretend to be deaf and dumb to follow Xiao Yi.

But before, they had already agreed with the Shen family and other big families to raise troops to support Xiao Gang and send troops to build Kangqin King.Now that we have backtracked, how will the elders of Wu Xing treat us? "

The reason Chen Ba first said was that a certain girl heard about a man with a lot of wealth and took the initiative to post it to confirm her relationship. As a result, the man's family suddenly went bankrupt and became a pauper, and the girl quickly fell into the arms of another man with a lot of wealth.

What would the world think of such a man?
It has to be said that Chen Baxian's words hit the nail on the head and pointed out what Xiao Ying was worried about.As a feudal lord with a trilogy under his command and a stable territory, how could he not cherish his feathers?Prestige is often more important than wealth.

Back then, Xie An came out of the mountain with the fame of "Xie An doesn't come out, why is the common people alive", and played the stalk of "come back from the mountain".

Now Xiao Ying felt that once she took refuge in Xiao Yi, all her previous efforts would be in vain and would become a joke in the eyes of the world.Simply put, the sunk cost is too great to let go.

"What Xing Guo (Chen Baxian's word) said is true. This king is also worried about these things, and I don't know how to deal with them."

Xiao Ying sighed softly, looked at Chen Ba and didn't speak for now.

"There are three strategies of up, middle and down."

Chen Baxian stretched out three fingers and said.

"Like?"

Xiao Ying was not very interested, and didn't think Chen Baxian could come up with any brilliant ideas.

"The best strategy is to send troops to Jiankang immediately, take over the defense of Jiankang City, and lead the troops to defeat Xiao Yi. In this way, His Highness can gain both fame and fortune, which is no less than rebuilding the country."

The best policy, to put it bluntly, is to be tough and strong Xiao Yi.It seems unacceptable, but Chen Baxian thinks farther and farther than Xiao Ying.

Now no matter how Xiao Gang rewards Xiao Ying, Xiao Ying can only be arrogant in Wu Xing and the surrounding areas, after all, it is just a local power.However, after entering Jiankang, it became a "central force".

The political convenience that can be brought by it is really hard to describe in one word, and it has everything that one expects to find.

Of course, high returns, high risks, this is what it should mean.

"What this king is afraid of now is that Xiao Yi's army is too powerful to confront him head-on. Although the best strategy has gained a lot, the risk is too great to bear."

Xiao Ying shook her head slowly, rejecting Chen Baxian's so-called "best policy".Of course, this was also within Chen Baxian's expectation. If Xiao Ying had that kind of tolerance and courage, he would not be Xiao Ying, and there would be no need to ask his opinion.

"How about the middle policy?"

"When Xiao Yi attacks Jiankang, we will lead our troops to rescue. If Xiao Yi is at a disadvantage, we will beat the dog in the water.

If Xiao Yi has the upper hand, we will take Xiao Gang back to Wuxing, command and manage the soldiers, horses, money and food in the Sanwu area, and separate one side, in order to go north to support Xiao Gang and then take over Jiankang.

Even if we can't do anything, we can calmly lead our troops back to Wu Xing and show the world the attitude of our diligent king.At that time Xiao Yi was busy occupying Jiankang City, how could he care about us? "

According to the words of Liu Yishou in his previous life, Chen Baxian's so-called "middle policy" is a broad road that can be used for postgraduate entrance examinations, and can be used for retiring.The elasticity is simply ridiculous.

After hearing this, Xiao Ying was elated, held Chen Baxian's hand tightly and said with a smile: "Such a good strategy, how can it be a good strategy?"

He realized that he had lost his composure, and sighed and asked, "Then what's the bad idea, why don't you just listen to it?"

"If nothing can be done, His Highness can stand on his own in the Three Wus, and be known as the supervisor of the country to the outside world."

Chen Baxian said calmly.

The meaning of supervising the country is that I am neither the emperor nor the prince, but the country is too chaotic, so I will help take care of it as a child of the clan.

It sounded a little bit interesting, but Xiao Ying secretly speculated that he was afraid that his qualifications and reputation were not enough, and he rashly separated himself. There are too many powerful families in the Sanwu area, and none of them is a fuel-efficient lamp.

If the steps are too big, it will be nonsense.

Xiao Ying shook his head and said: "The so-called supervision of the country, although this king has no shame in his heart, but the world is ignorant, but may not treat it that way. At that time, if he thinks that this king is going to call himself a widow, this king will not be able to stop the world. Everyone."

"So this is the worst policy, and it should be done as a last resort."

Chen Ba first bowed with his sleeves together and said.Xiao Ying laughed secretly in her heart, but she thought it was fishy to steal fish.

"Your Highness, Wu Xing and Jiankang seem to be far apart, but in fact, starting from Taihu Lake, you can go directly to Danyang by water. We are ready, and it will not take long to send troops to Jiankang. As long as Jiankang City is not destroyed After the first battle, we have time to reinforce."

Hearing Chen Baxian's explanation, Xiao Ying nodded slightly, feeling much more at ease.

"Don't say anything about sending troops. Now that Xiao Yi is powerful, the Wu Xinghao family can't fully believe it."

Xiao Ying couldn't help admonishing Chen Baxian, fearing that he would get carried away.

"Please rest assured, Your Highness, I will deal with military affairs in the end. As for the strategy of sending troops, I will not mention it to others."
