Governor please stay

Chapter 437

In the study room of Wancheng government office in Nanyang, Cui Shiqian was frowning.There were three letters on the table, some happy and some worrying, which made it difficult for him to make a decision for a while.

The first letter was written by my younger sister Cui Yaolan, and it was full of gossip about the parents, without any oily words.Of course, that was literally true, but the letter itself was appalling enough, considering the fact that the sister hadn't spoken a word or smiled at anyone for the previous year.

This at least shows that Cui Yaolan is doing well in Xiangyang, even far exceeding expectations.

If this letter brought Cui Shiqian a little bit of relief, then the next two letters seemed not so pleasant.

The second letter was sent by He Bayue, saying that they had almost opened up the "Han River Corridor", and that soldiers and horses could go out to Deng County at any time immediately to support Cui Shiqian.

The words on the official surface are generally better spoken than sung.Before the Battle of Chibi, Cao Cao also said that "the general will hunt in Wu"?Does anyone really think that Cao Cao went to the Yangtze River just to hunt?
It is obvious that if the Cui family refuses to accept softness, He Bayue's people may "come hard".

The third "letter" was actually an imperial decree from Yecheng, conferring a series of positions on Cui Shiqian, Cui Cong and others as Kaifu Yitong Sansi, General Zhennan, General Wei, etc.Everyone is invited to "face the saint" in Yecheng, and the emperor will personally confer official positions and seals.

From the looks of it, it seemed like a happy event. Who wouldn't want to be promoted? Even though Cui Shi had always dealt with Gao Huan's side, he didn't mind getting promoted.

However, combined with the fact that Yecheng urged the Cui family to send troops to Qingxu, this edict is worth deliberating.

It is very possible that it is a trap, or it is possible that Gao Huan is testing Cui's reality, but it will be fine if he goes there.

Having said that, Cui Shiqian didn't dare to bet at all!

There is nothing new under the sun, such as the Cui family and other small forces that listen to the tune and don't listen to the announcement, the imperial court can rashly reward officials without an inch of merit.

So casual, what do you make other soldiers who are fighting bloody on the front line think?
Cui Shiqian thought about it, and found that he really couldn't send someone there!If you don't go, there is still room for maneuver, if you go, you will die!
After secretly hiding Cui Yaolan's letter, Cui Shiqian found Cui Xi. The two are brothers of the same mother, they are older, and they have a close relationship.

Whenever Cui Shiqian was hesitant about important matters, he liked to consult with Cui Cong.

"Nowadays, it's really a leak in the house and it's raining all night."

Cui Xi read the letters sent by He Bayue and Gao Huan, and sighed with emotion.

"Over there in Yecheng, what do you plan to do, brother? Nothing can be done again. We said before that we would support Qing Xu. Now that the autumn harvest has been completed, it is time to leave."

Cui Xi said with a bitter face.

"Who says it's not, but look at the current situation, if the soldiers and horses leave Nanyang, I'm afraid Wancheng will be taken over by Gao Huan's cronies in no time."

Cui Shiqian said in a deep voice.

"Why don't we ask Liu Yishou for help and ask him to send troops to Nanyang in the name of Liang Guo. We take advantage of the trend and don't accept Liang Jun taking over, but we intend to regard Xiao Huan as the emperor."

Cui Xi felt that he couldn't delay any longer.Otherwise, when Gao Huan came back to his senses, everything would be over.

"Things have to be like this now."

Cui Shiqian nodded, and continued: "I wrote a letter to Liu Yishou, asking him to send troops to Nanyang. As for He Bayue...you can not reply for now."

He didn't mind Liu Yishou fighting with He Bayue's soldiers, or that was exactly what he wanted.He Bayue, Gao Huan, Liu Yishou, the harder they beat, the more secure Cui's position in Nanyang will be.

"By the way, how is my little sister in Xiangyang? She hasn't been bullied, has she?"

Cui Xi suddenly remembered this, and asked worriedly.Ever since the incident of the "widowed family" that year, Cui Yaolan has become a little melancholy, she rarely talks and doesn't like to deal with people.Now in a strange place, is it really all right?
"Probably, it's okay."

Cui Shiqian said insincerely, but did not take out the letter from home.

……

Cui Yaolan's hands were cold, she stretched her hand into Liu Yishou's collar to keep warm, and watched with a smile as he wrote poems on the large paper that covered the table.

"Other people laugh at me for being crazy, but I laugh at others, but I can't see through it. I can't see the tombs of heroes in the Five Tombs, and there are no flowers, no wine, and no hoes."

"Ah Lang, you really know how to write poetry."

Seeing Liu Yishou writing four sentences and seven words on the paper effortlessly, Cui Yaolan couldn't help kissing him on the face.In her eyes, Liu Yishou seemed to be omnipotent.

"Poetry and minor avenues are not worth mentioning. Only things that save the country and the people are the avenues." Liu Yishou said indifferently.

When he copied Tang Bohu's poems, he was completely indifferent, and his tone was very perfunctory.But the speaker has no intention, but the listener has intention, Cui Yaolan's words don't mean that.

The girl just thinks that Liu Yishou is a person who does great things, and he has a talent for poetry, but "disdains it".

"I don't know if Ah Lang saved the concubine of the world, but it is true that you saved me."

Cui Yaolan took the initiative to put her arms around Liu Yishou's neck and kissed deeply, and they didn't separate until they were both out of breath.

"You were so beautiful last night."

Liu Yishou said while biting Cui Yaolan's ear.

If you don't have EQ, you will definitely say "You were really disgusting in bed last night, you are still a daughter of a family", but Liu Yishou will never say similar things, it is too humiliating.

Although he fully accepts the concubine's performance of "releasing nature" during intercourse, he will never tease each other with these things afterwards.This is why Liu Yi has many concubines, but they all respect him from the bottom of their hearts.

Respect is always mutual.

"Then you must take a good look at the concubine tonight, otherwise I will be angry."

Cui Yaolan smiled slightly, with a bold charm in her shyness.Her eyes fluttered, and her index finger like onion tapped her lips, and then lightly pressed on Liu Yishou's lips.

It's a pity that there is still work to do, otherwise Liu Yishou really wants to "bring her to justice" right now.It is estimated that Cui Shiqian would not have imagined that his usually serious and unhappy sister would become what he is now in a few days.

Just as the two were flirting, there was a deliberate coughing sound outside the study door.

Cui Yaolan understood, and suddenly kissed Liu Yishou on the mouth, then covered her mouth and ran away with a smirk.Liu Yishou tidied up his clothes, and said in a calm and dignified tone, "Come in!"

"Lord!"

"Lord!"

Dugu Xin and the sand sculpture king Hu Luxian came in together. After bowing their hands and saluting, Hu Luxian, who has a keen sense of smell, smelled a faint fragrance from Liu Yishou's body, but didn't make a sound.

"Come on, sit down. You have worked hard all the way, so let's rest for two days before we talk."

Liu Yishou let the two sit down and poured wine for them himself.

"My lord, in the northeast of Xiangyang, the situation has collapsed. Both sides of the Mian River (which is the name of the Han River in this section) are under the control of the Daxi Military Department. After we withdrew from Shiping County, they immediately took over the county. Now the opponent's troops can march at any time It's Nanyang."

Dugu Xin said worriedly.Although he didn't understand why Liu Yishou insisted on letting them return to Xiangyang, considering that this guy had always planned and acted, there were endless routines.Duguxin was very obedient and immediately led his troops to evacuate, and now he has safely returned to Xiangyang.Not a single soldier was lost.

"The situation in Nanyang has undergone new changes. To put it simply, He Bayue and Gao Huan are likely to fight fiercely here in Nanyang. If we block their marching route, it is tantamount to helping Cui Shiqian, or even Help Gao Huan.

Now that you come back and let the soldiers recharge their batteries, there is nothing wrong with it. "

"Understood. Everything is under the command of the lord."

Dugu Xin clasped his hands and said without saying a word of nonsense.

"By the way, last time we agreed on baby kissing, this is my daughter's birthday horoscope, and now I leave it to you."

Liu Yishou took out a folded red paper from his cuff and handed it to Dugu Xin.

So you haven't forgotten about it!
Duguxin had a strange expression on his face. To be honest, he hadn't heard Liu Yishou mention it for a long time, and he almost forgot about it.

"The subordinates went to look for it, but they didn't bring it with them."

Dugu Xin said awkwardly.

"It's okay, I'm in Xiangyang during this time, just don't forget."

Liu Yishou said indifferently.

Dugu Xin was embarrassed, and hurriedly apologized and said goodbye, probably going back to find his son Dugu Luo's birth date.

After Duguxin left, Liu Yishou looked at Hu Luxian and asked, "How is He Bayue's team?"

This time Hu Luxian took the scout team to test the reality of those under Da Xiwu's command. Liu Yishou was very concerned about the opponent's strength.

"It's very difficult to deal with, and it's definitely not under Gao Huan's elite."

Hu Luxian said with a serious face.Now that the name of Sand Sculpture King has spread, he is the first brother in the scout team, so naturally he will not reject this nickname.

"They are all elite soldiers... This is going to be troublesome."

Liu Yishou raised his chin, thoughtful.

"This time He Bayue can be said to have done his best. We captured a scout. After interrogation, we learned that there was a severe drought in Guanzhong this year. There were big cracks in the land and there was no harvest. If you don't come to grab a wave, It is estimated that the days will not go on!"

Hu Luxian got the first-hand news, He Bayue may cover up something, but the soldiers below will definitely not.

"Okay, go and rest, it's been a hard journey."

Liu Yishou patted Hu Luxian on the shoulder and said.

"My lord, are we going to stand still like this?"

Hu Luxian asked with some doubts.On the way, Duguxin told him about Liu Yishou's original plan, but now it seems that there is another inside story.

"Those things don't need you to worry about for the time being. When you can lead the army to take charge of your own affairs one day, you will naturally have the opportunity to deal with similar problems. Just watch and learn more on weekdays."

"Okay my lord..."

After being scolded, Hu Luxian retreated angrily.Liu Yishou did a very good job of keeping secrets this time when he dispatched troops to Nanyang. If he could not mention anything, he would never mention it. If one less person knew about it, he would never hold a meeting to announce it.

Now in Xiangyang City, only Wang Wei knows what Liu Yishou wants to do.

After Hu Luxian left, Liu Yishou got up and paced back and forth in the study.

"It stands to reason that the elite soldiers under He Bayue's command marched thousands of miles, and they couldn't wear Lu Jin at the end of the crossbow. They should not be able to beat the elite soldiers under Gao Huan's command."

"But with the help of the Cui family, maybe we can win a big victory and stabilize the situation in Nanyang. In that case, this piece of fat will be eaten by He Bayue."

Liu Yishou was talking to himself while walking.

The current situation is complicated, basically it is a situation where whoever strikes first dies first.Of course, no matter how the situation develops, unless something unexpected happens, it is a foregone conclusion that Cui will become the biggest loser.

But in the end, it's not easy to say who will win the game.The loser is already doomed, but the winner is still unknown. In this round, Liu Yishou dare not say that he can sweep away many opponents and swallow Nanyang.

"It seems that when necessary, I have to do Gao Huan a favor."

Liu Yishou said secretly in his heart.

……

Cui Shiqian's letter was delivered to Xiangyang City very quickly, the tone of the letter was warm, and he did not treat Liu Yishou like an outsider at all, he was treated like a "brother-in-law".

In the letter, Cui Shiqian said that he had decided to take refuge in Liang Guo and change flags in Wancheng, and asked Liu Yishou to send troops to Tengzha Deng County as soon as possible.Because once the flag is changed, Gao Huan's army may rush at any time.

Although Deng County is rich and prosperous, it is easy to attack and difficult to defend, and it is attached to the existence of Wancheng.If this letter was translated in simple language, it would be: Brother-in-law hurry up, Gao Huan is coming.

Among them, the jurisdiction of the Nanyang area, how the Cui family's troops will be reorganized, and when Liu Yishou's army can enter Wancheng and other key issues are not mentioned in the letter.

To put it simply, Liu Yishou was used as a spearman.Although Nanyang, where Cui and others ruled, is under the jurisdiction of the Liang State in name, there has not been a slight change in essence.

Bodhisattva Xiao might like this tone very much, but Liu Yishou feels that Cui Shiqian's move is to kill him!
After Wang Wei read the letter, he was furious and scolded Cui Shiqian for being so blind.They are still playing tricks at this juncture, I guess they are not really in a hurry!
Or it is unknown whether there is nothing to fear.

Liu Yishou also knew the strategies of raising fish in the fishpond in the previous life of Neptune, as well as the various routines of raising spare tires with green tea.In the current situation, Cui Shiqian's proper "green tea" is undoubtedly, and he is raising someone like Liu as a "spare tire".

"Don't be so excited."

In the study, Liu Yishou waved his hand to Wang Wei, signaling him to be calm.

"You write a letter to Cui Shiqian and say... Well, just say that Nanyang belongs to you. It's a big matter. If you are not careful, you will lose everything. Now the time is not yet ripe. Please calm down and don't change the flag for the time being. I After the preparations here are complete, we will naturally send troops to Nanyang."

Ok?
Wang Wei was taken aback for a moment, and after carefully pondering what Liu Yishou said just now, he suddenly realized it!
Each sentence of Liu Yishou's words is taken apart, and they are all sincere words, but when they are put together, they are perfectly perfunctory.

If you really want to compare it, it's a bit like a married scumbag perfunctory pregnant mistress.

When will you get a divorce? My stomach is getting bigger.

Why are you in a hurry, now is not the time, her father hasn't retired yet!Be honest, don't ruin our big event!I will raise the child!
A similar dialogue scene appeared in Liu Yishou's mind, and he couldn't help but sneer.

"Did your lord think of something good?"

Seeing Liu Yishou laughing for no reason, Wang Wei asked curiously.

"No, just write as I said, and be more sincere. We can do things perfunctorily, but we must not speak perfunctorily."

"How do you call it not perfunctory?"

"Just don't refuse directly, but definitely don't agree."

Liu Yishou said leisurely.
