Governor please stay

Chapter 428 Bad Folk Customs in Yedu

A governor of Guangzhou and a prefect of Nanhai County (the seat of Panyu), the imperial court's decree once again appeared on the desk of the Wuxing government office, and ordered the two to leave within three days without any mistakes.

On the one hand, Xiao Gang did not accept the proposal of self-reliance and restoration at all, and on the other hand, the Jiankang Center was pressing every step of the way. Xiao Ying and Chen Baxian immediately felt that they had been abandoned by the world.

"Xingguo, how do we deal with the matter now?"

In the study room of Wu Xing Mansion, Xiao Ying was obviously out of control, and didn't know how to deal with Jiankang's aggressive soft knife.

"Your Highness, why don't you summon Wu Xing's disciples to go south with us to Guangzhou. There are many opportunities there!"

Chen Baxian said calmly, he is a person who can bend and stretch, and he also understands where there are opportunities and where there are no opportunities.Now in Wu Xing, they have become unpopular people.

Nowadays, there are not a few Wu Xing tyrants who have been won over by the Jiankang court, and the direction of public opinion is quietly changing.Obviously, the gang of aristocratic powerhouses who have milk and mothers don't think that Xiao Huan's ascendancy has any direct impact on them.

At least not for now.

If you expect these people to spend money and send troops to fight against Liu Yishou at the risk of being exterminated, it is better to think about retreating.

"Guangzhou is remote and hot..."

Xiao Ying frowned slightly. Before the invention of air conditioning, the climate in Guangzhou was not very lovely.The scorching heat comes next, mainly because of the humidity and heat, which most people really can't handle.

"Your Highness, I can't take care of it now." Chen Baxian sighed lightly. If he could, he didn't want to travel so far to Guangzhou. By then, he would really be an out-and-out local tyrant!

At this moment, Shen Ke knocked on the door with shame on his face, and when he saw Chen Baxian, he cupped his fists and saluted without speaking.

His expression actually hinted at many things.

"Zi Gong (Shen Ke's name), did something happen at home?"

Chen Baxian asked calmly.

"Shen Xun wrote back, and the family has decided to send Shen's children north to Qingxu to participate in the Northern Expedition...I also want to go to Xiangyang to be an official, and I am really entrusted by Xingguo (Chen Baxian's name)."

Shen Ke was too ashamed to lift his head, but this was the family's decision, and unless he broke up with the family, he couldn't change this decision at all.Almost none of the descendants of the Shen family stood by his side.

Even if he cut off ties with his family and helped Chen Baxian and the others, it was only Shen Ke himself.The power of the aristocratic family relies on the family to survive. If the family is gone, then they are nothing, and the power of the individual is insignificant.

Obviously, Wu Xing, who has a keen sense of smell, has already seen from Xiao Ying's appointment that the Jiankang Center hopes to resolve the dispute peacefully. This is a good step.

For those who are sensible, Xiao Ying and Chen Ba should get out of here and go to Guangzhou. Wu Xing, whether it is an official or a civilian, has been freed from the confrontation with Jiankang.If you don't know the situation and don't leave, you don't know how many people will die when the time comes.

The members of Wu Xing's powerful family don't want to die with Xiao Ying and the others, they just want to get out of the trap quickly!
There are no eternal enemies in the world, only eternal interests. This superficial truth is vividly expressed here.In fact, many people on Wu Xing's side secretly admired Liu Yishou's superb political skills.

It only takes a reckless man to kill people, but to solve the problem, it can't be done by just beating and killing people.At this moment, Chen Baxian and Xiao Ying realized what it means to "have no choice but to let the flowers fall".

"Liu Yishou...is too powerful."

Xiao Ying muttered to herself, her heart was surrounded by weakness.

"So, recruit Wu Xing's children over there, let's go south to Guangzhou."

Xiao Ying sighed quietly, and had no choice but to accept Jiankang's arrangement.

He felt very strange, why when fighting with Liu Yishou, the other party took every step first, making you breathless.It would be great if Liu Yishou was a reckless man like Shi Hu who would kill anyone he sees.

"Your Highness, if you keep the green hills there, you won't have to worry about running out of firewood."

Chen Baxian is also a little discouraged, but he will not give up, he is still very young, and there are still many opportunities in the future, as long as he grabs one at random, he might be able to crack the earth and become king.

"Forget it, you go and collect these things. Zigong doesn't have to worry too much. This is an order from the imperial court. We have nothing to say."

Xiao Ying remained expressionless, as if he had suppressed the resentment and sorrow in his heart.

Shen Ke is also embarrassed to stay here, the substantive betrayal of his friends made him feel uneasy, and the interests of the family made him nowhere to go.In this world, where can you do whatever you want?

There will always be something to do!

"In that case, I will take my leave."

After Shen Ke stepped back, Xiao Ying and Chen Ba first looked at each other and sighed at the same time!
"Xingguo, go get busy, I want to be quiet."

Xiao Ying waved his hand and said.Seriously, he's tired now.

……

Duan Shao led [-] elite soldiers, and gathered [-] local county soldiers, stationed in Rencheng, Gaoping, Guting and other places.

And let Yaoxiong lead [-] elite soldiers and [-] county soldiers to guard Liu County, and Zhang Qiong lead [-] elite soldiers and [-] county soldiers to guard Xue County.

After setting up the defense, Duan Shao began to spread scouts to closely monitor the movements of Pengcheng.

If you don't investigate, you don't know. After the scouts sent back the news, Duan Shao was shocked!From west to east, in Pengcheng, Xiapi, Tanxian and other places, there are large camps of Liang Jun, as well as garrison forts dedicated to farming.

Obviously intended to be stationed for a long time.

Whether it is an empty city plan or there are indeed soldiers and horses in those places, in fact, through various clues, it can be clearly detected, and it cannot be concealed from experienced people with discerning eyes.

After many inquiries, Duan Shao got a very definite answer: Nanliang was indeed recruiting troops in Qingxu, hoarding food and grass, and the trend of preparing to use troops was obvious.

Duan Shao reckoned, he was afraid that if Liu Yishou really led troops to fight, with his current garrison strength, he would really be overwhelmed!The main reason is that there are too few elite soldiers, and Gao Huan is preparing to attack Er Zhurong this winter!

In desperation, Duan Shao had no choice but to write to Gao Huan for help, asking for elite soldiers who could fight.

When the letter was sent to Yecheng, Gao Huan had a hard time.

Gao Huan's original idea was that the fighting in the south might not be very intense.Historically, the Eastern Wei Dynasty did not deploy many elite soldiers in the Qing, Xu and Huaihe Rivers. Low-intensity battles can train the team and cultivate elite soldiers.

This will be of great benefit to eliminating Er Zhurong and further unifying Guanzhong.

However, judging from the current situation, Liu Yishou seems to be serious, if he doesn't give some elite soldiers to control the situation, I'm afraid Duan Shao will really be a clever woman who can't cook without rice!
But Gao Huan didn't want to send too many elite soldiers in Qingxu at all, Er Zhurong was always on his mind!
Duan Shao's request for help was sent to Yecheng. Gao Huan adhered to the principle of "small meetings for big things, big meetings for small things", and just called Sun Teng to discuss alone.

"Longque, what do you think should be done?"

In Bafu's study, Gao Huan poured wine for Sun Teng. Now that the end of summer is approaching autumn, it is the time of harvest.If you send troops, it's really stretched, and it's not good to send anyone.

"King Gao, you can order Hulujin to send troops. There is a river in Youzhou that goes directly to the east and enters the sea. I heard that fishermen in Hebei often go out to sea to fish, and the sea route along the coast has already been opened. From here, you can go to Guangzhou (Laizhou City, Shandong) , get off the ship here, and quickly support Qing Xu.”

During the Three Kingdoms period, the sea routes along the northern coast had already been opened up. These operations may be difficult and novel to the Hulujin who ate on the grassland, but it is no secret to the Han people.

"Longque's words won my heart."

Gao Huan nodded with a smile. On the one hand, this move can bring Hu Lujin in and participate in the conquest of Wei State, so as to prevent him from becoming a spectator with evil intentions.On the other hand, it can strengthen Qing Xu's defense.

In this way, it is possible to avoid dismantling the generals needed to attack Er Zhurong, making it impossible to go all out when the forces are dispersed.

"By the way, is there any new news from Jinyang?"

Gao Huan asked very concerned.

Sun Teng nodded and said: "This year, Jinyang is irrigated with lake water, and it is still a bit of a harvest. But Xiurongchuan was hit by drought first, a lot of pastures died, and locust plagues ravaged all over the place. I am afraid that it will be difficult to spare power to support Jinyang."

Gao Huan has been paying close attention to Er Zhurong's movements, including the harvest of Jinyang and Xiurongchuan, which is also one of the things he cares most about.

Hearing Sun Teng's introduction, Gao Huan breathed a sigh of relief and said: "This opportunity is not to be missed. I will go to Jinyang in the early winter of this year. Maybe there will be no such good opportunity next year."

The harvest is not good this year, and the winter is very cold.Gao Huan believed that even if Er Zhurong used soldiers like a god, he was weakened very much at this moment.Last year, Er Zhurong lost a lot of soldiers and horses, and Gao Huan believed that it would be difficult for the other party to recover under such circumstances.

Er Zhurong is like this, if you relax your vigilance a little bit, he will have a chance to fight back.

"How about this, I will write a letter to Hu Lujin, asking him to send troops to fight in Qingxu." Gao Huan nodded slightly. The territory is getting bigger and there are more troubles, and there is no absolute security.

After a while, Gao Huan finished writing the letter and handed it to Sun Teng.After the latter left, he was alone in meditation.

"Liang Guo sent troops to Qingxu, I always feel a little hasty."

For some reason, Gao Huan always thinks that Liu Yishou should not be such an impulsive person.Mobilize the army to attack Qingxu, who is easy to attack and difficult to defend. If he wins, it will cause repeated seesaws in the future. Once he loses, it will shake Liu Yishou's position in Liang Guo.

At that time, whether Liu Yishou will be able to control Liang Guo's political situation is hard to say.Gao Huan knew that Liu Yishou's current situation was hard-won, did he have to take such a risk?
After thinking for a long time, he couldn't come up with a clue, so he could only put the matter aside for the time being. After all, Liu Yishou is not a big threat to him at present, unlike Er Zhurong who has occupied Jinyang, he is simply a serious worry.

……

Ever since Hu Lujin entered Youzhou, life has been very comfortable.In the north of Youzhou, there is a grassland with fertile water and grass, which is convenient for grazing.The Hulu Department is now gradually participating in farming. The people of the tribe have already cultivated the fields and used the grain produced to make wine.

According to common sense, Hu Lujin would directly refuse to ask the Hulu Department to move without even thinking about it.

But this time the situation was a little different. Gao Huan wrote a letter to persuade him, and he didn't ask the Hulu Department to move. He just asked Hulujin to send an elite army.

Then these people came to Gwangju by sea, and then went south to support Rencheng.

This request made it difficult for Hu Lujin to refuse.

First of all, the Hulu Department also needs to maintain the combat effectiveness of the trilogy through small-scale wars.In other words, they also need to fight, and this issue cannot be avoided.But now that there is nothing wrong with Hebei, Hu Lujin doesn't want to go deep into the grassland to fight those grassland tribes.

Gao Huan's request is also the actual demand of Hulu Department.Even from the perspective of cultivating talents, Hu Lujin also hopes that his eldest son Hu Luguang will have more experience.

Secondly, there has been a gap between Yecheng and the Hulu Department. In order to bridge the contradiction, it is also necessary to send troops to support it appropriately.

Most of the feudal towns still can't completely ignore the words of the center, and most of them still need to make a little effort at the critical moment, which is also a good opportunity to show their strength.If you don't work at all, what use does the center need you?At that time, I am afraid that it is time for the two sides to turn their faces!

On this day, Hu Lujin called Hu Luguang to give him an opportunity.

"Did father ask me to lead troops to support Qingxu? The journey is long and the soldiers are tired and unaccustomed. This is a big taboo in using soldiers." Hu Luguang looked strange, and he still didn't understand the marching route!You know, it's a long way from Youzhou Lulu to Qingxu!
It's really a fight, when you have traveled such a long way, the day lily will be cold when you arrive!
"Gao Wang said in his letter that he was traveling by water, and he sent a marching guide."

Hu Lujin sighed and said, "King Gao is well prepared this time, so there is no room for us to refuse."

Hu Luguang is silent, and this is the reason why people have to bow their heads under the eaves.Whether to send troops or not is not what you say you want.This is the same as Liu Yishou's regional sales agent in his previous life could not compete with the general sales agent.

"In that case, it's okay for the kid to lead the army."

Hu Luguang cupped his hands and said.

Hu Lujin nodded and said, "It's enough to order five thousand elite soldiers and go to Gwangju by sea boat. Gao Wang said in his letter that he will take care of the food, fodder and supplies. If we don't send troops this time, we will be ignorant."

"Okay, baby, let's go down and get ready." Hu Luguang couldn't help but left the study neatly.

……

On this day, Duan Shao was looking at a map in his study. Liang Jun had deployed a lot of troops on the front line, which was enough to launch an offensive to invade Wei State from all fronts, which made him restless.

"Captain, something serious has happened!"

The soldiers hurried in and whispered in Duan Shao's ear.

"Is Liang Jun coming to attack?"

Duan Shao stood up reflexively, his whole body was straight.

"That's not it, but the prince..."

This guy Gao Cheng?
Duan Shao had a strange expression on his face. Since Gao Cheng came to Rencheng, he has been extremely quiet and never caused any trouble.

"How is the prince? Tell me!"

"The son and Zu Ting went out at night with all the silver ladies. When they returned to the host's house, they met each other. The man didn't know the identity of the son, so he injured the son and Zu Tie, tied them to a tree, and alarmed them. Li Chang.

Now the soldiers are confronting the peasants in the village. "

The soldier said embarrassingly, this kind of thing is too embarrassing, he really wants to laugh out loud.

It is a bad custom in Yecheng to go out at night with all the rich women.Adulterers and women with disheveled clothes lit lanterns and knocked loudly at night from door to door. When they met beautiful women, they would drag them in and wander all the way.

It is said that Chen Yuankang, an important minister under Liu Yishou, was good at this way back then, but he had to restrain himself a lot after following the upright Liu Yishou.

"What are you still doing in a daze, take me there quickly!" Duan Shao was in a hurry, grabbing the soldier's collar and shouting angrily.
