Governor please stay

Chapter 427 The Soldier Without Fighting

Since Xiao Gang had to move to Wu Xing after he abdicated, he felt a lot tired and looked older than ten years.In order to "avoid suspicion", Xiao Ying, Chen Baxian and others have never contacted Xiao Gang, and they don't even know which way the door of "Jing'an Hou's Mansion" opens.

But now that the situation is urgent, the rope around Liu Yishou's neck seems to be getting tighter and tighter, making them suffocating.Both Xiao Ying and Chen Baxian were not people who would sit still, and soon they joined hands to visit Xiao Gang.

The night owl comes to the house for nothing, Xiao Gang is very clear about the purpose of Xiao Ying and others, however, he is like a stone, not moving, and he will not listen to any persuasive words.

In the study room of Jing'an Hou Mansion, Xiao Gang sat in front of the desk with a blank face, while Xiao Ying and Chen Baxian stood in front of him, with helpless expressions on their faces.

"Why is Your Majesty so depressed? Not long after Liu Yishou took over Jiankang, the hearts of the people have not been attached. There is still a chance to raise troops now. If it is a few years later, there is really no chance."

Chen Baxian suppressed the impatience in his heart and persuaded him: "Your Majesty, please think about it carefully. Even if Your Majesty does not want to fight, can Liu Yishou let His Majesty go? Sooner or later, he will have to fight, and now there is still a chance to resist! Be serious if it is too late. There is no chance!"

From Chen Baxian's point of view, Xiao Gang has almost lost everything he once owned, and it is basically impossible to regain it.Things have come to this point, don't you still have to give it a go?

You can still look forward to a miracle if you give it a try, if you don't even have the courage to fight, then you are really finished!

"Your Majesty, Liu Yishou is cruel and ruthless. If he doesn't do anything now, he is only concerned about the legacy of the late emperor, and he is afraid that people will say that he is ungrateful. But in a few years, after he completely controls the power of the Liang Kingdom, the other vassal kings, including Your Majesty, may be afraid." None of them can survive.”

Xiao Ying also stood up and persuaded.

However, after they talked so much, Xiao Gang's expression remained unchanged, as if what the other party said had nothing to do with him.

"You two, please go back, I am only the Marquis of Jing'an now, I can't afford to be your Majesty."

Xiao Gang stood up, turned to face the wall, with his back to Xiao Ying and Chen Baxian, and seemed to have lost interest in talking to them.

Chen Baxian and the others did not expect Xiao Gang's resolute rejection attitude.I don't know if Liu Yishou left an indelible and terrible memory in Xiao Gang's heart, which caused this Xiao Gang who once proclaimed himself emperor to be stifled even the desire to resist.

"So, then I will take my leave first."

Xiao Ying said with a little disappointment, the two left the study after saluting, turned around and left helplessly.

The plan to support Xiao Gang's restoration of troops was a good one, but encountered setbacks at the first step.If Xiao Gang refused to cooperate, then Xiao Ying and Chen Baxian could only think of other ways.

……

When Xiao Ying and others persuaded Xiao Gang to stand on his own, Liu Yishou was not idle.

Yao Sengyuan, Zhang Fashang, and Shen Xun, who came to Jiankang to report their duties, went to the "Wu Wang Mansion" where Liu Yishou temporarily lived on Jiming Mountain to "worship the pier" before entering Taicheng.

When ordinary officials come to Jiankang to report on their duties, they don't necessarily have to meet Liu Yishou first.But they are from Wu Xing who was "named" by the court, so they are obviously different.

These three people accepted the imperial court's order to go to Jiankang to report on their duties. Without Liu Yishou's care and approval, the prospects would be absolutely bleak and bleak.As long as Liu Yishou gives a little hint, there will be countless people who follow suit and use different tricks to punish them.

Everyone understands that the current Xiao Huan is just a puppet pushed by Liu Yishou at the front desk.

Maybe one day Liu Yishou will lose everything with one careless move, and Xiao Huan will have a chance to stand out.But excluding such a remote possibility, when Liu Yishou was still presiding over the overall situation of Jiankang, it would be extremely inappropriate to bypass this person and directly accept the emperor's "summoning".

In the mansion's study room, Liu Yishou personally poured wine for Yao Sengyuan, Zhang Fashang, and Shen Xun, and said cordially: "Everyone has worked hard on the journey, this glass of wine should be a cleanser for you, come, let me do it first as a respect. "After speaking, he drank the wine in the glass in one gulp.

Seeing that Liu Yishou seemed to be easy to talk to, the three of them felt relieved and drank the wine in their cups in one gulp.

The tense and awkward atmosphere in the room suddenly eased a lot.

"This time Mr. Yao was invited to enter the imperial hospital, in fact, he came here to write medical books. Since Ge Hong, Nanmian's medical skills have been improved. However, the lack of system makes it difficult to spread to future generations.

Mr. Yao's family has a long history, so he is not stingy with opening his mind, right?Sort out the medical books of the Tai Hospital and put them into a book.According to the classification of different types of diseases, it is a long way to go to rewrite and organize.I only know the art of war, I only know how to kill people but not how to save people.I will leave this matter to Mr. Yao. "

Liu Yishou folded his sleeves and bowed deeply to Yao Sengyuan.

"Can't, can't."

Yao Sengyuan hurriedly returned the gift, and said excitedly: "What His Royal Highness King Wu said is exactly what I wish in my life. I will definitely do my best on this matter. Please rest assured, King Wu."

Listen to what he says and watch what he does.Zhang Fashang and Shen Xun couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when they saw Liu Yishou being so humble and low-key, knowing people well and being responsible.They originally thought that the other party transferred them away from Wu Xing just to fight for power, but they didn't expect that Liu Yishou's intentions were much higher than they expected.

It is undeniable that this person is very likely to be the most powerful official in the south in the next 20 years. However, this person seems to be capable of doing things, and he does not just fight for power regardless of the life and death of others.

"The new Shangshu Ling Chen Yuankang is a confidant. Mr. Zhang can tell him what he thinks. I don't know how the Shangshu Mansion works. I don't know what kind of talents Mr. Zhang has, and I can choose a suitable position at that time. "

Liu Yishou said to Zhang Fashang with a smile on his face.

"King Wu is bothering you. These are trivial matters." Zhang Fashang was overwhelmed by the flattery, and did not expect that he would be able to choose a position within a certain range.

Yao Sengyuan and Zhang Fashang belonged to the "surrender faction" in Wuxing. They were reused by Liu Yishou, but it was just a routine of "buying bones with thousands of dollars", which is not surprising at all.

Shen Xun lowered his head nervously, wondering how Liu Yishou would arrange himself.He is an offshoot of the Shen family of Wu Xing. He has moved out of Wu Xing very early and his whole family lives in Dongyang County (Jinhua, Zhejiang). This is one of the reasons why he came to Jiankang.

Shen Xun and Shen Ke made different choices not because of personal interests, but to maximize family interests, while taking into account their own emotions and family interests.

"Shen Jin, the ancestor of Wu Xing's Shen family, was admirable when he guarded Luoyang alone and vowed not to surrender to the death."

Liu Yishou didn't talk about Shen Xun's affairs, but lamented about Shen's ancestors.

"I wait for the younger generation not to dare to humiliate the ancestors."

Shen Xun cupped his hands solemnly and said.

Liu Yishou nodded slightly and said, "Now that the Northern Expedition is imminent, does General Shen hope to go to the Qingxu front line, or go to Xiangyang to defend the side?"

Ok?
It turned out to be such a problem.

Without even thinking about it, Shen Xun bowed to Liu Yishou and said, "The final general is willing to go to Qingxu to participate in the Northern Expedition."

"General Shen has a heart."

Liu Yishou nodded with a smile, apparently satisfied with Shen Xun's attitude.

"Everyone can tell my elders and brothers in Wu Xing about the promise I made today. There are rumors outside that this king excludes dissidents. It is really a woman's opinion. Now that there are powerful enemies around, so what if you become the emperor?
During this Northern Expedition, this king wants to let those ignorant people see who is defending the country and who is causing trouble. "

"Wu Wang Gaoyi!"

The three said in unison, with a very respectful expression.

"Well, it's getting late, everyone, stay at the post house today, and go to Taicheng tomorrow. General Shen is going to Qingxu, and I will send someone to escort you to Shouyang first. The war is not just a day or two. finished."

After speaking, Liu Yishou personally sent the three of them out of the mansion.

After the three of them left, Liu Yishou brought Chen Yuankang to discuss important matters.

"In the name of the Minister's Office, Xiao Ying is ordered to be the governor of Guangzhou, and Chen Baxian is the prefect of Panyu. You must leave Wuxing within three days after receiving the decree!"

Liu Yishou's tone was very calm, as if he was talking about a trivial matter.

"My lord, is this... ready to do something?"

Chen Yuankang showed surprise on his face. He thought Liu Yishou would put Wu Xing's affairs under pressure, and then do it after dealing with the Northern Expedition.

"The heat is almost here. I will ask Yu Jin to bring [-] elite soldiers to cooperate with you. He is just putting pressure on him. He probably won't actually take action on this matter."

Liu Yishou said in a deep voice: "We have almost suppressed the forces within Wu Xing. Transferring Xiao Ying and others is also a step down for Wu Xing's powerful people.

If they don't want to die, they will definitely put pressure on Xiao Ying and others to let them leave Wu Xing.Then Wu Xingchen led people to participate in the Northern Expedition. After the Northern Expedition, I can reserve a place for them in Taicheng.

If you are stubborn, then you have no choice but to mobilize the troops from Kuaiji and Wujun to cooperate with us to encircle Wuxing. "

Mobilize the other two counties among the three Wu counties to fight together, whoever does it will be his own.Liu Yishou's move can be described as dark and spicy.

"My lord is going to use three prongs to solve the problem of the three Wus, so that we can go to the north with peace of mind. This strategy is very good, and we can defeat others without fighting."

Chen Yuankang nodded slightly with admiration.How else can we say that Liu Yishou is very powerful, the kind of person who swung his knife and slashed at the slightest disagreement is the lowest and bottom existence.

The really powerful ones got things done in a few words.

"Chen Baxian and Xiao Ying arrived in Guangzhou. The sky is high and the emperor is far away. I'm afraid they will be overwhelmed."

Chen Yuankang said with emotion.

There are many powerful people in the southwest of Guangzhou, and they have always listened to the tune and not the propaganda.Moreover, there are many chiefs in the local area, who are mothers if they have milk, and they refuse to be educated.

After Chen Baxian and others arrived there, the stage was so vast that it was unimaginable!
"Anyway, in the end, we still have to clean up those people in Guangzhou (a large area), let Chen Ba deal with them first, and drive away the tigers and wolfs, why not do it? What we lack most now is the time for development. In order to buy time, Certain concessions can be made.”

The secret of politics lies in compromise and disintegration. Wu Xinghaoqiang, Xiao Ying, Chen Baxian and others have common interests, but they also have great differences in interests.At least, Wu Xinghaoqiang was far less active than Chen Baxian in resisting the Jiankang court.

Divide and disintegrate the enemy, win over some, attack some again, and reduce the scale of the war to the minimum. This is the mode for mature politicians to solve problems.

Today, Liu Yishou has experienced a long time of practice, and his methods of dealing with problems are very mature and sophisticated.

"We must settle down first when fighting against the outside world. Once Wu Xing's problem is dealt with, the wealth of the three Wus can continue to support us in our war against the north. In this way, we will not be afraid of Gao Huan, and he can do whatever he wants."

When he said this, Liu Yishou showed his arrogance, looking down on the heroes of the world.

"My lord, I will do it here."

Chen Yuankang took the order and left.

……

Because Yuwentai received Liu Yishou's military order some time ago, he led his troops to sweep across the surrounding areas of Guangling, and he had a lot of military exploits in plundering countless lands.He also defeated Liu Zhongli, who had no fighting spirit, under the city of Guangling. Because of his military exploits, he was named the prefect of Guangling, the governor of Nanyanzhou, and the third division of Kaifu Yitong.

Yuwenhu, Yuchijiong, Yuchigang, He Lanxiang and other nephews often spoke ill of Liu Yishou on weekdays, so they completely shut up now.

After all, Guangling City is on the other side of Jingkou, and it is also a distribution center for official salt and private salt in the Huaihe River and Huaihe River. The city and the outside of the city are extremely prosperous.After they arrived in Guangling, this group of "bumpkins" did not understand what Liu Chan meant when he said, "I am happy to miss Shu here".

Liu Yishou entrusted this land to Yuwentai to take care of it, that is, he really didn't treat Yuwentai as an outsider, this is a proper "direct line treatment".

Yu Wentai was also very happy, Guangling is really a good land, as long as there is no rebellion, as long as there is no war, he can stay for the rest of his life without moving the place.

On this day, Yu Wentai received a letter from Liu Yishou asking him to come to Jiankang for important military affairs!At this moment, Yu Wenhu, who was quite thinking of "disturbing the people and harming me", began to think wildly again.

"Uncle, going to Jiankang this time, could it be that King Wu is cheating? What if uncle is captured and Guangling is taken back?"

Yu Wentai was already dressed and ready to go out, Yu Wenhu insisted on pulling his cuff and asked.

"You all think highly of me, Uncle, why does King Wu have any reason to deal with me?"

Yu Wentai asked helplessly.

Speaking of the past, Liu Yishou might have doubted this, but now that the other party has taken over Jiankang and holds great power, what reason is there to play such an unappealing gimmick?

Yu Wentai felt that his nephews really looked down on Liu Yishou's mind and skills, and they still didn't understand Liu Yishou's fearfulness at all.

Just like Yu Wentai leading troops to plunder land around Guangling this time, it seems that he has nothing to do with Liu Yishou, he and his nephews are the ones leading the troops to fight.

However, Yu Wentai knew very well that he could make meritorious deeds, and that was because Liu Yishou had laid out the chess game, and his subordinates could just go up and harvest the results with knives, and he didn't need to worry about other things.

Who is more powerful, who ranks higher, isn't that obvious?How can a chess piece be stronger than a chess player?
Yuwentai felt that he had protected Yuwenhu and the others so well that they hadn't experienced hardships and setbacks, and they couldn't get on the stage so far.

With complicated thoughts, Yu Wentai crossed the river and came to Jiankang, and met Liu Yishou in the study of the other party's house.

"This time, I plan to gather the hearts and minds of the army in the Northern Expedition, and gather military power from all over the country. So this time I will go to Qingxu, and you will be in command, and you will mobilize all kinds of troops in Qingxu to fight with the military amulet."

As soon as they met, Liu Yishou handed over the Tiger Talisman he got from Xiao Huan to Yu Wentai.

"Are you really going to fight Qingxu this time?"

Yu Wentai felt at ease, at least, Liu Yishou did not have the intention to deal with him as his nephews worried.However, it is not a good strategy to send troops to Qingxu. Is such a risky move really necessary?
"The arrow is on the string and has to be fired."

Liu Yishou didn't explain too much.

"So, then I will accept the appointment."

Yu Wentai took the tiger talisman, bowed to Liu Yishou, neatly.

"About the Northern Expedition, what instructions does His Highness have?"

Yu Wentai asked with some doubts, you can't fight without a set goal, without a combat policy, right?
"Replacing defense with offense, that's all. You can play to your heart's content. However, none of the subordinates are direct descendants, so do what you can, and don't be greedy and aggressive."

Liu Yishou said calmly, looking calm.

"The general will know."

Yu Wentai had a lot of doubts in his mind, but he was very deep in the city, so he didn't show it, took the tiger charm and the documents for dispatching troops, and left the mansion.
