Governor please stay

Chapter 455 Come out to mix, sooner or later
It was another day of bloody battles. On the top of Wancheng, there were broken limbs and arms everywhere, blood that hadn't dried up everywhere, and defenders who fell to the ground and panted everywhere.

Gao Yue's army had stormed Wancheng for three days, almost in three shifts, one team was disabled and replaced by another team, attacking from all sides, the intensity was extremely high!

For a while, the Wancheng defenders were under great pressure, not only Cui Shiqian went to the top of the city to command, even the people carrying supplies began to stand on the front line.Cui Xi's knives did not know how many were broken.

There are piles of seriously injured and dead people in the city. As for the slightly injured, there is no need to mention them at all.Fortunately, Cui Shiqian blocked the gates of Wancheng on all sides with huge stones, and the residents in the city couldn't go out at all, and they had to fight to the end without dying.

Otherwise, it is estimated that someone would have been unable to bear it and wanted to open the city and surrender.

As night fell, Cui Shiqian and Cui Cong sat on the ground panting, looked up to see a bright moon in the sky, and found that the moon seemed to be hairy.

The Awakening of Insects has passed, and the spring rainy season is coming.This year's spring plowing is probably... over.

"Bad luck..."

Cui Shiqian couldn't help sighing.

"I sent my little girl to Liu Yishou's side in the first place. This step was correct. At least it's better than her dying with us."

He couldn't help mentioning something.

Cui Yaolan has been a widow for six or seven years, enduring groundless accusations and ridicule.Now that she has finally become a normal woman, she should be regarded as having a good home.

"By the way, what does Liu Yishou look like?"

Cui Shiqian couldn't help asking Cui Cong, he imagined that Cui Yaolan was being crushed by a tall and thick man, that picture was really creepy.

"Brother, don't worry about her. I don't think she knows how happy she is now. Then Liu Yishou looks handsome and handsome, like a banished fairy. Yaolan has already been fascinated by his beauty."

Cui Xi couldn't help but sarcastically said.

It seems a little inappropriate to describe a man with beauty, especially the governor who holds a powerful army and the most powerful minister in the Liang Kingdom.But Cui Xi recalled Liu Yishou's appearance, and felt that such a description didn't seem to be a big deal.

"So, sometimes I have to trust in destiny. My little sister is lucky now, but we are in bad luck."

Cui Shiqian sighed, he was really tired now.

At this moment, the two noticed that the team on the outskirts of the city seemed to be slowly retreating.

Cui Xi suddenly stood up and looked into the distance.The scenery seen from the gap in the female wall just now seems not to be an illusion.

"Brother, look quickly! Gao Yue has retreated!"

Cui Xi exclaimed excitedly.

This is impossible!

Cui Shiqian stood up in one breath, and looked at the enemy army outside the city in surprise, they were leaving slowly, not even the siege equipment!He rubbed his eyes, repeatedly confirming everything in front of him.

Cui Shiqian and Cui Cong looked at each other, unable to understand what happened.

……

Time back to three days ago.

Gao Yue ordered people to build a ferry outside the small city built in winter, and transform the city into a place to store grain.The grain ships from the upper reaches of the Baihe River, after unloading at the ferry, stockpiled grain and grass here, and they were not afraid of Da Xiwu's surprise attack.

It's just right here, and it's all in one go.This is just a place to temporarily store food, and the food and grass hoarded are enough for daily consumption, so there is no fear of being attacked.

And the real grain storage area is just north of Wancheng, somewhere at the mouth of the Yahe River in Beiju County.

That night, a small fleet, with three fishing fires lit at the bow and two fishing fires at the stern, quietly passed the ferry controlled by Gao Yue's army.It was discovered by inspecting officers and soldiers.

But when these people saw the "signal" on the ship, they ignored it and did not stop the fleet for inspection.Many boats came and went on the Baihe River, not only coming from the mouth of the Yahe River, but also heading towards the mouth of the Yahe River, transporting Nanyang’s grain there for stockpiling.After all, Gao Yue's army now controls more than half of Nanyang, collecting food and grass everywhere.

On the boat at the front, Wei Xiaokuan and Zu Ting were quietly playing chess in the cabin, as if they were not going to raid Gao Yue's grain storage this time.

"The boat has arrived at the mouth of the Yahe River. How can we find the grain storage area? The scouts have checked the mouth of the Yahe River. The mouth of the Yahe River is huge and uneven. There are hidden bends everywhere. How can we find it?"

Wei Xiaokuan asked in a deep voice.

His mind was not on Go, so he was defeated by Zu Ting one after another. In several games, Dalong was slaughtered, and his losses were extremely tragic.

"If I say it now, will General Wei push Zai Xia off the boat?"

Zu Ting asked with a half-smile.Now he has figured out what kind of person Wei Xiaokuan really is, and he also knows what the other party cares most about!Wei Xiaokuan is very interested in any topic related to Nanyang food.

"Mr. Zu was joking."

Wei Xiaokuan smiled lightly, and didn't want to say anything more.Since Zu Ting didn't want to say it, he didn't want to be in front of him either. He wanted to die and everyone died together.

Along the way, the two either ate dry food casually, or played chess in boredom.Wei Xiaokuan found that Zu Ting was a man with extensive knowledge and a good memory.He asked a lot of questions, and the other party answered them fluently, but he was unwilling to reveal too much.

The fleet passed all the way to the exit of the Baihe River without hindrance, and suddenly the field of vision widened a lot, as if a dragon entered the sea, it was as magnificent and free as a dragon.

Previously, only scouts were investigating, but Wei Xiaokuan was bitter about not being able to find out the location of Gao Yue's army's granary.Now that I had a look at the entrance of Baihe, I realized why those scouts had tried their best but found nothing.

The topography of the Yahe Estuary is very peculiar. Compared with the size of the Yahe Estuary, the Baihe River is like a child's little finger compared to the palm of an adult man.At the end of the field of vision, there are all misty islands filled with water vapor.

If you are not familiar with the terrain, how can you know where the food storage is, it is just a little bit better than finding a needle in a haystack.Gao Yue did have his overall consideration in placing the granary here.

Convenient and private.Once discovered, it can be quickly transferred to any bend in the Yahe Estuary without affecting the grain road!
"Okay, Mr. Zu, now you can show your talent."

Wei Xiaokuan had a smile on his face, but Zu Ting had no doubts, if the other party felt that he was playing tricks on him, would he do something more extreme, such as pushing someone from his ancestor into the river.

"General Wei, let me ask you. Water transport boatmen are not geniuses. There are many river bends here and the terrain is so complicated. If Gao Yue wants to ensure that he will not be detected by enemy scouts and that the boatman will not get lost, then what strategy will he adopt? "

Zu Ting asked a very difficult question, Wei Xiaokuan didn't know how to answer it for a while.

If the granary is located very close to the river mouth, although it is convenient for the boatman to find it, it is also easy to be detected by the opponent's scouts.However, if the granary is located in a place with seven bends and eight turns, how can you ensure that every boatman has a golden brain, so that the complex terrain can be remembered?
If it is hidden in a too secret place, Gao Yue himself will get lost!

Wei Xiaokuan fell into deep thought, this is indeed a big problem.

"so what?"

The fleet stopped moving now, Wei Xiaokuan did not believe that Zu Ting would wait like this.

"The fleet goes all the way to the northeast of this river, and walks until you reach a big bay surrounded by four sides. You will see a narrow waterway entrance on the west side, and you can just go in from there. As long as you know the direction, it is very easy to find. .”

Zu Ting looked like an "expert outside the world", but he almost had the words "hidden and hidden" written on his face.

Wei Xiaokuan walked to the bow of the boat and said a few words to the leading local fisherman. Soon, the fleet headed towards the place Zu Ting said.

That place is indeed very distinctive, and I don't know how far I walked, but it was getting dark at this time.Sitting on the bow of the boat, Wei Xiaokuan was staring at a narrow waterway on the other side of the west bank. At the end of his vision, there seemed to be a flash of fire.

"Are you going over there?"

Wei Xiaokuan pointed to the entrance of the west waterway and asked.

Zu Tie spread his hands, looking indifferent, as if to say: If you think it is, then go and try it.

Wei Xiaokuan no longer cares about his attitude.Intuition told him that that place was Gao Yue's Achilles' heel, the only weakness that the other party tried desperately to hide.

Wei Xiaokuan knew that Da Xiwu and his soldiers were not even a third of Gao Yue's army.It is necessary to rely on Cui Shiqian and his troops to unite in order to contend with it.

However, this is just a confrontation. After all, the combination of the two is not as good as the dominance of one.If there is no trick, it will be as difficult as climbing the sky to win Gao Yue.

The so-called trick is probably to burn the other party's food reserves.

Wei Xiaokuan sighed, before Dou Tai and Gao Cheng led elite troops to attack Nanxiang, now he is also going for food and grass just like the other party.In the war of the cold weapon era, military rations are the only foundation.

Why do those disorderly militias, thieves, and so-called rebels who have no rules and regulations fight like tigers when they fight against the wind, and if they suffer setbacks, they will be defeated like a mountain?I am afraid that being not good at using grain and grass is also an important factor.

Entering the small river, the fleet changed and filed in.Fortunately, it is early spring, and the vegetation is not yet lush.Otherwise, the water plants, reeds and other things on the river bank will completely cover the entrance of the river, so that there is really nowhere to be found.

The fleet didn't even light the fishing lights, and under the hazy moonlight, there was a dimly lit camp ahead of their vision.Although it is quiet, there are no villages or people around. These lights are so conspicuous in the dark, as long as the eyes are not blind, they can easily find the clues.

Wei Xiaokuan finally let go of his hanging heart.The current situation may be just like what Zu Ting said.

He stabilized his mind and said softly to the lieutenant general: "Barge the ship and follow the military orders. Once the sound of the sound of gold ringing is heard, return to the ship immediately, and then leave without delay. After the sound of sound of gold ringing three times, the fleet will leave directly , won't wait any longer."

After Wei Xiaokuan gave the order, teams of well-prepared soldiers disembarked like ghosts carrying canned fire oil. Fifty army soldiers led the battle, fifty crossbowmen stood behind, and the rest went to set fire of.

Coincidentally, in order to conquer Wancheng, Gao Yue mobilized many elite soldiers from the outside and guarding the granary to join the siege team, so there were not many soldiers patrolling the granary, and they did not encounter any interrogation along the way.

Not long after, the granary burst into flames, and there were sounds of fighting and killing everywhere, as if the battle was quite fierce.

"General Wei doesn't seem to be afraid of the death of his subordinates."

Zu Ting asked meaningfully.

"As a general, he only talks about winning or losing. What is Mr. Zu's so-called death, I have never heard of it."

Wei Xiaokuan said coldly.

Zu Ting was silent, he could see that Wei Xiaokuan had the potential to become a famous general, and would even become famous all over the world in the future.Because this person has a flexible mind, understands the art of war, and makes decisive moves.Moreover, the heart is cruel enough!
Between the words of the two, the fire in Gao Yuejun's granary was already overwhelming and could not be extinguished at all.When things like fire are relatively small, there seems to be a way to stop them.However, once the flames start a prairie fire, the gods will be helpless when they come.

Now, Gao Yuejun's fate is doomed, and no matter how hard he struggles, it will be hard to save him.But Zu Ting's vengeance was avenged, but there was an indescribable sense of emptiness in his heart.

That's right, Gao Huan's soldiers and horses have lost miserably this time, and Nanyang is expected to lose as well, but so what?

Gao Cheng is still the eldest son, and when Gao Huan dies in the future, Gao Cheng will still "succeed" to the throne.The Yuan family is nothing more than a puppet, and Gao Cheng will definitely change the name of the country and become the founding emperor.

As for Dou Tai, Gao Yue and the others, they were still generals under Gao Huan's command. It was impossible for Gao Huan to do anything to them in this failure.

It seemed that Zu Ting let out a bad breath, but the fate of those people didn't seem to have changed much, let alone their lives.

For a while, Zu Ting lost interest, even if he was given ten girls to play casually now, he couldn't play anymore.

"Is Mr. Zu lamenting that the great revenge will be avenged? After this battle, how about returning to Chang'an with the next one? Mr. Zu also doesn't want to have no room for his own abilities."

Wei Xiaokuan asked with a smile.

"Well, whatever."

Zu Ting responded casually and unintentionally.

Seeing that the heat was almost ready, Wei Xiaokuan ordered his lieutenant general Ming Jin to withdraw.After three beeps, the fleet left the shore cleanly, filed out through the narrow waterway, and disappeared into the night.

Wei Xiaokuan took a rough look, and found that the number of people who came back was much less than those who participated in the operation, and the rest were almost all wounded, he couldn't help but sighed softly.

It's no joke that soldiers are fierce and dangerous.Even with all the advantages, it is impossible to have no casualties at all, and sometimes even the casualties are huge!

But so what?Without food and grass, Gao Yue has already lost this time, and half of Nanyang is already in his hands.

Rao is usually calm and calm, but now he is smiling, wishing he could sing loudly.

……

Time back to three days later.

Gao Yue's army was in the small town on the bank of the Baihe River. Gao Yue grabbed a young man by the collar and pushed him to the ground.

"Gao Chen! You are the younger brother of King Gao, so I trust you and let you guard the granary! But how did you do it? Now that all the grain and grass have been burned, how do you fight this battle! Tell me how to fight!"

Gao Yue roared at Gao Chen.If this person wasn't Gao Huan's own younger brother, he would have pushed him out and beheaded him long ago!

Although more than 1000 fine cavalry were lost in the incidents between Dou Tai and Gao Cheng, it was only a minor setback and did not affect the overall situation of the battle.But now that the granary is gone, what should we do next?
"Brother, I... I didn't expect such a thing. The captured prisoners said they were soldiers under Wei Xiaokuan's command. I don't know how they went to Yahekou! There must be spies in the army Lead the way, otherwise where can we find the place?"

Gao Chen sat on the ground, completely stupefied with fright, almost sophistrying like talking nonsense.

"Hmph, save the words and explain to Gao Wang."

Gao Yue angrily left the room.
