Governor please stay

Chapter 449
"My lord, what are you doing?"

In the study room in the backyard of Xiangyang government office, after Wang Wei pushed open the door, he saw Liu Yishou spread a small blanket on the ground, and then he was doing the splits with the word "one", with the blanket sticking to the inside of his thighs to the end .

"Uh, I'm flexing my muscles."

Liu Yishou frowned slightly, with cold sweat on his forehead, but he didn't get up.

Then the two looked at each other, not knowing what to say.

After a long time, Wang Wei couldn't help asking: "My lord, don't you feel tired in such a posture?"

"No, I can't move now..." Liu Yishou sighed and motioned for Wang Wei to pull him up.

When the two sat opposite each other at the table, Liu Yishou sighed with emotion: "Time is not forgiving, and now my arms and legs are rusted. Don't think I can't fish, but I was called the little prince of gymnastics back then." ..."

Suddenly realizing that he had slipped his tongue, he waved his hand as if nothing had happened, and changed the subject and asked, "There's nothing military about it recently, did something major happen?"

"No big deal, but one thing is very strange. This is the battle report sent by Dugu Xin. My lord said that capturing Guangping County should be easy, but Dugu Xin only captured Feng County after a fierce battle with Hou Mo and Chen Chong's troops."

Wang Wei presented the letter from Dugu Xin with both hands.

"What are those people from Guanzhong going out of the Hanshui Corridor? Could it be that my judgment was wrong?"

Liu Yishou was a little puzzled, why did Hou Mo and Chen Chong guard Guangping County?If Xiangyang sends troops to attack Hanzhong, because there is only one road, and it has to pass through the Hanjiang corridor.The soldiers and horses in Hanzhong will be aware of it anyway, and there is no possibility of a so-called "sneak attack".

In other words, Hou Mo, Chen Chong and others can just stay in Hanzhong if they have nothing to do. There is no need to go out of the Hanshui Corridor and stick their heads out to be beaten!Unless it is absolutely necessary.

However, the task of raising food and grass is handled by Wei Xiaokuan and others, so why is Hou Mo and Chen Chong in trouble?

This made Liu Yishou completely incomprehensible.

"My lord, take them by surprise. Daxiwu and the others just want to transport food and grass through the Han River? After all, our navy can't block the Han River regardless of the day and night, and the river section! What's more, the Han River is a very busy waterway. , it will be lively after the beginning of spring, will they fish in troubled waters?

If it is they who want to transport grain and grass through the Han River, then this makes sense.From Hanzhong to Guanzhong, there are four roads besides the Chencang Road. It is no problem to transport grain from Hanzhong to Guanzhong.What are they going to do? "

Wang Wei came here today for this matter, after all, it was somewhat beyond their expectations.

Every army appears in one place and has its strategic intentions, and it will never be boring and idle.In other words, if something goes wrong, there must be a demon.

Even if Liu Yishou did not use troops against Nanyang now, the army stationed in Xiangyang is not idle, and the strategic purpose is very clear.

"You have a point."

Liu Yishou walked up to the big wooden board, on which were written dense details in charcoal, all about Da Xiwu and his gang.After watching for a long time, he sighed and said: "The so-called isolated cases are not cited. I also use this principle to judge their combat intentions."

Liu Yishou took a thin wooden stick, pointed to the "important and urgent" section and said, "All the evidences imply that these people will transport grain and grass through Wuguan Road. Only the one you just told me is absolutely opposite conclusion."

Liu Yishou wrote the news that Hou Mo and Chen Chong led troops out of Guangping County at the bottom.Then draw a cross.

"I judge that this deployment is used to confuse us. Of course, it does not rule out that I will be punched. What do you think?"

Hearing this, Wang Wei could only say "I'm not flattering", but he couldn't really object, because Liu Yishou's analysis method seemed to be more "reliable" than his own judgment.

What is written on the wooden board is full of evidence, densely packed, and each piece has been analyzed.

Judging from the current news that Da Xiwu led his troops back to Deng County, it proved that Liu Yishou's previous analysis was correct. This wave of He Bayue's sending troops to Nanyang was aimed at food and grass.In terms of managing the territory, recruiting surrenders and rebels is ranked second!

"I don't know what Da Xiwu's group thinks. Hu Luxian went to Nanxiang to investigate and said that the defense there is extremely empty, and there is no accumulation of food and grass."

Wang Wei felt that the possibility of the other party transporting grain from the Han River was still quite high. At least now, they had not hoarded grain and grass in Nanxiang, which had not been affected by the war.

"No, you have to know that Nanxiang is next to Danshui, Deng County is also next to Danshui, and Wuguan is also next to Danshui. Once the spring is warm and the flowers bloom, it doesn't take much to transport grain and grass to Nanxiang. Kung fu, Da Xiwu doesn't need to put the grain and grass there in advance to attract attention."

The more Liu Yishou watched it, the more he felt that Wei Xiaokuan's move was a guilty conscience!If it is not guilty, Nanxiang, as the most critical node for the army to retreat to Wuguan, should send troops to guard it anyway.Even if you don't transport food, don't you still have a way out for yourself?

This principle is like Hou Mo and Chen Chong's Tunza in Guangping County. This is the way to ensure Daxi Wubu's return to Hanzhong!With such an arrangement, what the other party wants to do is ready to come out!
No matter how a thief pretends to be a good person, his ultimate goal is to steal things.As long as it is judged that the purpose of the gang in Guanzhong is to obtain food, then all their actions, no matter how they cover up, will have nowhere to hide.

"My lord, why don't we send troops to capture Nanxiang?"

Wang Wei didn't think there were so many embarrassments, just beating him to death with a stick.Sealing Nanxiang to death is tantamount to trapping Da Xiwu and the others in Nanyang.

Hearing this, Liu Yishou quickly waved his hands and said:
"No, no, that will only make Gao Huan cheaper. Let's continue to send troops to clear up the enemy troops on the corridor of the Han River and regain the lost ground. Don't touch Nanyang, let alone fight Nanxiang. When spring comes, those people will fight involuntarily." .”

"Okay, let's do it now."

"By the way, didn't we mint a batch of new copper coins in Xiangyang recently? These things are inedible and wearable, and they are all used to buy food from big households around Xiangyang and Jiangling at the government's guide price. Anyone who does not sell them is collaborating with the enemy and treason. Wei Guo has collusion, how to deal with it according to the old rules."

Wang Wei had already turned around, and was slightly taken aback when he heard this, then turned his head, frowned and subconsciously asked: "The government's guide price?"

Liu Yishou said casually: "We are the government of the Liang State, and we are also the biggest tyrants of the Liang State.

We want the Northern Expedition to unify the world and make the emperor the real emperor.

In order to achieve this goal, we do all the right things.

The price we set is the government's guide price. The grain collected is for the Northern Expedition, not for drunkenness. We are worthy of the emperor above, and worthy of the people below, with a clear conscience.Those who oppose us are all bad people.

So we say as much as we want, and if we don’t sell it, we don’t support the Northern Expedition, and we have ulterior motives.

If you don't support the Northern Expedition, do you want to rebel?Otherwise, what do you keep so much food for?
Go directly to the purchase, and those who sell grain enthusiastically, award them a plaque of a good family and it's over. "

Wang Wei couldn't refute Liu Yishou's question, after all, this world is about fists.Back then Liu Yishou was almost captured and presented to Queen Mother Hu face to face, but no one asked him if he would like to!
"I know my lord, I will definitely handle it well." Wang Wei cupped his hands and left.

"By the way, Shen Ke of Wu Xingshen's family came to Xiangyang to join the army and have nothing to do. Let him personally supervise this matter. If the grain and grass cannot receive the required amount, let them subsidize the insufficient part of Wu Xingshen's family. If he wants to be a good person, let him He will do it, and I only look at the result."

Liu Yishou added another sentence.

After Wang Wei left, Liu Yishou said to himself with emotion: "The era when you can make money by making money is really good!"

Next year, Nanyang will definitely have a poor harvest, and grain will become the hardest currency in nearby Xiangyang, Jiangling and other places.Before those powerful families can react, let's cut a wave of leeks first.

It is better to cut their leeks than those of the tenants.

……

Liu Yishou was not in a hurry, Wei Xiaokuan and others were not in a hurry, and even Gao Yue was not in a hurry after he finished building the city by the Baihe River.The only people who are anxious now are the Cui brothers who are sitting on pins and needles in Wancheng.

It's winter now, the coldest time of the year.I thought that after Gao Yue led his troops to build a city by the Baihe River, he would start to attack Wancheng, but he didn't expect that the opponent would not move at all, as if he had made up his mind to consume them to death during the spring plowing!

During the slack winter, the county soldiers were called up to make a living in the army without any complaints.But when it came time to plow the fields and sow seeds in the beginning of spring, they could no longer remain calm.

If you miss the farming season, the whole year is over!God knows how long this war will last!At that time, it was difficult to guarantee the morale of the soldiers under the Cui brothers' command.

All I think about is the farm work at home, how can I win the battle?The Baihe River is not considered wide, at least it cannot become a dangerous existence.Therefore, whether the ice and snow melt or not, whether the army can directly cross the Baihe River, actually doesn't really matter to Gao Yue.

In the study room of the Wancheng government office, Cui Shiqian walked up and down in a panic.

"What do Da Xiwu and his gang mean? Are they really not worried about us surrendering to Gao Huan?"

Cui Shiqian looked heartbroken, while his direct brother Cui Cong stood aside expressionlessly, not saying a word.

"Brother, with all due respect, those people in Guanzhong may only be transporting food and grass back to Guanzhong this time. They don't really care if they can get Nanyang."

After holding back for a long time, Cui Xi finally choked out such a sentence.Unfortunately, he really guessed right this time.

"Then Liu Yishou hasn't moved yet?"

It was hard for Cui Shiqian to imagine that Liu Yishou just picked up a woman in this wave and then gave up.

"Maybe... who knows."

Cui Xi sighed, a bit regretful that he had done things too badly at the beginning.

"How about writing another letter to Xiangyang? To my little sister."

Now that the fire is imminent, Cui Shiqian can't care so much anymore.

Cui Xi quickly waved his hand and said, "If you want to write, you write, if you want to send it to you, I can't afford to lose that person."

The shame of the helmet being shot down last time is still vivid in his memory, which has caused him to have a psychological shadow now.

"I write as I write, it's better than sitting still and waiting to die."

Immediately doing what he said, Cui Shiqian spread out a large piece of paper, and before he picked up the pen, he put it down again.

"How should I say it?"

"Give him Xinye and the area south of Xinye."

Cui Xi said in a deep voice.

Liu Yishou is obviously a master who does not see the rabbit and does not cast the eagle.If you don't come up with real money, the other party won't make a move at all.

"That's fine, anyway, I can't keep it."

Cui Shiqian let out a long sigh, and began to think about how to play this "family card".

He thought over and over again, and after a day, he gave the letter to his eldest son Cui Kuang and asked him to take the letter to Xiangyang.When Cui Kuang arrived in Xiangyang, it was already a few days later.

……

After being honest for a few days, Gao Cheng felt that Zheyang City was meaningless at all.There is no gambling game, no beautiful girls, no one to play with him, compared to Yecheng, which is full of talents, I don't know where it is.

The weather was extremely cold, and it was snowing heavily, so I couldn't go out.

If only that's the case.

However, except for Gao Yue and others, the other generals basically didn't want to deal with Gao Cheng, and they all kept a respectful attitude.

In fact, this is relatively easy to understand. Gao Huan still looks like a dragon and a tiger. No one is willing to go out of his way to curry favor with Gao Cheng, lest he be labeled as a "direct descendant of the prince".

It is not a good thing to be labeled as such when the emperor seems to have a long life!
This made Gao Cheng, who originally wanted to play the game of "Corporal Li Xian", feel very boring.Not everything develops according to the trajectory I envisioned.

On this day, it was snowing heavily outside.

Gao Cheng "cooked wine and discussed heroes" with Zu Ting in the study.

They are not so much having fun, it is better to say that they are bored and have nothing to do to pass the time.

Wanting to play with nothing to play, wanting to pretend that the people under the big boss don't give face, Gao Cheng feels bitter, and feels that the world is full of malice, which is not good at all.

"Zu Xiaozheng, you said we came to Nanyang this time, so we went back empty-handed?"

Gao Cheng was lying on the couch like a salted fish, with his feet crossed in boredom, and he threw the wine glass on the ground casually.

Today, he needs fresh stimulation to refresh himself.Too bad that didn't happen.

"My son, actually, it would be very interesting if we raided Nanxiang on a snowy night."

Zu Ting said calmly.

"Nanxiang? Where is it?"

Gao Cheng came here to mix his qualifications, and he didn't care about the situation of the battle at all.But Zu Ting has more ideas, Gao Cheng can be a dandy, his father is Gao Huan, but Zu Tie himself can't be a dandy!

"Nanxiang, a battleground for military strategists on Wuguan Road."

Zu Ting said solemnly, took out a map from the bookshelf and spread it on the table.

Gao Cheng immediately sat up and leaned over to check.

"As long as Nanxiang is blocked, Da Xiwu and the others' way back to Guanzhong will be blocked. At that time, their army's morale will be disturbed. If the son leads the army there, he will definitely be able to hit him with one blow!"

Zu Ting bewitched calmly.

However, Gao Cheng was not stupid at all, he directly asked: "An empty city, what's the use of occupying it, I'm afraid it will be besieged by people! No, no, no."

"Your Majesty, don't you want to do it now! Think about it, after the spring blossoms, the people in Guanzhong are starving to death, and they must go to Nanyang for food. Da Xiwu must stockpile food in Nanxiang to transfer to Guanzhong When the time comes, wouldn't it be nice for us to learn from Cao Cao and burn down Wuchao in the battle of Guandu?"

"You know this as well?"

Gao Cheng suddenly looked at Zu Ting from head to toe as if he didn't know Zu Ting anymore.

"Let me think about it. Leading troops to go out is still too risky, too risky."

Gao Cheng waved his hand, not really appreciating Zu Ting's bad idea.
