Governor please stay

In the study, Liu Yishou frowned as he looked at the map of Nanliang hanging on the wall.Quite a few places on the map have been inserted with custom-made small flags with magnets on the base.

From Ruyang, which is adjacent to Xuanhu, to Chenliu, then to Suiyang, and then to Pengcheng, this is a long border line. Although the road is not smooth, there are countless land and water routes that can go south on this line .

Once the two countries are at war, the front line of Henan will need a large number of county soldiers to help out and guard every node on this line!
Before, Liu Yishou concealed his strategic intentions and finally conquered Nanyang.On the other hand, Gao Huan and others are clearly told now that Liang Jun's defenses on the Henan front line are empty.

It would be fine if Qing Xu is not supported, Liu Yishou's reserve team can plug the leak at any time.But if you really send troops to penetrate deep into the enemy's territory, it will definitely expose the truth.Once the strength is used up, it will not be easy to regain it.

If Gao Huan ignored Gao Aocao and sent elite soldiers directly to Xuanhu and other places, he would surely be able to easily tear a big hole in the border of Liang State.At the beginning of the establishment of Nanliang, Wei Rui, Cao Jingzong and others repeatedly fought against the Wei army on this line, and finally fought the battle of Zhongli and Guoyang.

In other words, this was Liu Yishou's job when he was not in charge of Jiankang!If there is a problem with the Henan land in the western section of the Lianghuai defense line, it will greatly damage his prestige in Liang Guo.

"Insufficient troops!"

Liu Yishou crossed his arms, talking to himself.I kind of understand why his "predecessors", such as Huan Wen and Liu Yu, walked on thin ice every time they went to the Northern Expedition.

It looks like one country against one country, but in fact it is just one side against one country. The balance of power is far from what it seems, and the ship will capsize if you are not careful.

Liang Guo is very big, but the internal conflict has not yet ended. There are many feudal towns in Jiangzhou, Guangzhou and other places.

As for Xiao Huan's uncles, none of them are fuel-efficient lamps.If you want to borrow strength, you have to go to Jiankang, get the "imperial decree" issued by Xiao Huan, and then talk to Jiankang and the various families in the Sanwu area to clarify the interests and interests.

For example, Wang Xie and other big clans, although they don't have soldiers and horses on the surface, but the manor is full of money, silk and food.For example, Webster in Hefei has an elite navy in his hand.On the side of Sanwu, there is also a lot of spare energy, and it is easy to pay for money and food.

"Shouyang will be taken care of by you. I will leave for Jiankang right away to meet the emperor."

After a long time, Liu Yishou said to Wang Wei who was writing at the desk.

"My lord's going here is no less than playing the piano with a cow. Those fat-headed people are already very dissatisfied with the lord. It's hard for them not to restrain the lord. As for supporting the lord's northern expedition, it's really the sun coming out of the west."

Wang Wei said without raising his head, his tone was full of sarcasm.

Liu Yishou couldn't help laughing, then nodded and said, "You're right, but I'm still going to try. Now we don't know what's going on with Gao Huan. Once Gao Huan supports Gao Aocao, Qingxu's balance will change." If it is broken, the situation will be difficult to deal with.

Everything is for winning. "

"Ugh!"

Wang Wei sighed and did not speak. …

His lord wanted to humiliate himself, but he couldn't stop him from following him, so what could he do?
"The Northern Expedition against bandits and return to the old capital, this is our general strategy. Now that it has been decided, we must implement it step by step."

Liu Yishou clenched his fist tightly and said.

Hearing this, Wang Wei was shocked.He asked with a puzzled face: "My lord, have you really discussed this strategy? Why is it the first time I hear you mention it?"

"Isn't there?" Liu Yishou also felt very curious.The nobleman often forgets things, there are a lot of things he can't finish every day, and there are a lot of concubines.Even if you don't do anything every day, just playing with those girls, you will be very busy.

"Of course not. Every time a major event is discussed, the subordinates have records to look up. If you don't believe me, you can go to the room where the letter copy is stored and look it up now."

Wang Wei said with certainty.

"Then... probably because I haven't had time to tell you." Liu Yishou said awkwardly.

"My lord is going to move the capital to Luoyang?"

"That's right, of course, the people of the Xiao family are still in Jiankang. After all, the north is so dangerous, how can the emperor take risks?"

Liu Yishou winked at Wang Wei and said.

Wang Wei, who was focused on rebellion, soon understood Liu Yishou's plan.

Conquered Luoyang, abandoned the old capital, and built a new capital.On the one hand, it can be regarded as carrying forward the past and opening up the future, on the other hand, it is also evading Xiao Liang's power.

This kind of routine is the same as when Cao Cao captured Yecheng and made Yecheng the capital of Wei, Xuchang was still the capital of Han Dynasty.The emperor is still the emperor, and the capital of the country is still the capital of the country, but it is a certainty that government orders will not leave the capital.

From then on, the people of the Cao family no longer had to worry about what the gang of Han Xiandi did.

If in the future Liu Yishou conquers Luoyang and builds a new capital, and Xiao Huan cannot go there for various reasons (Liu Yishou can use various methods to prevent him from going), then is Jiankang still the capital and political center of Liang State?

At that time, the government decree of the world will go out of Luoyang, not Jiankang.Even if Liu Yishou didn't sit on the dragon chair, he was still the real emperor.During the Northern Expedition, Liu Yishou was also able to centralize military power in his own hands through various government and military orders.

Who cares what people like Xiao Huan are yelling about in Jiankang?
If you are obedient, you will be saved. If you are not obedient, it is very possible for the "bandits" around Jiankang to break into Jiankang by accident.

"It turns out that the lord has already thought about it, it seems that he is worrying unnecessarily."

Wang Wei breathed a sigh of relief. He originally planned to find some time to talk to Liu Yishou about usurping the throne.I didn't expect that my lord had a comprehensive plan long ago, and he was advancing steadily, so steadily that you couldn't tell that he wanted to rebel!

"I won't say any compliments. There are a lot of things going on in Shouyang this year, so please pay more attention. Once the straw cotton is rolled out, the livelihood of the people in the whole country will be changed. We must make the best use of the situation and get the first wave of development dividends." .

It doesn't matter how many victims there are, all kinds of workshops need to be opened, and people's livelihood is only four words: food, clothing, housing and transportation. There is no need to worry about housing and transportation. First, we need to get clothing and food. When the time comes to fight, we can fight Gao Huan for consumption. "...

The background of Hebei is too deep, and the large fertile soil created by the river network is full of people and fields.The devastating damage that Ge Rong caused in Hebei has now gradually subsided and shown strong vitality.

Gao Huan has a lot of stamina, and he must not be thought to have no potential just because his subordinates are not united.

"Well, the subordinates will remember what the master is about, and they will definitely arrange it."

Wang Wei said solemnly.

"Well, tomorrow I will set off for Jiankang."

Liu Yishou nodded and continued to look at the map on the wall.

……

The battle of Nanyang was won and a large area of ​​land was won. Perhaps the small people in Liang Guo did not know about such news.But in Jiankang and the surrounding areas, everyone from the emperor Xiao Huan to the Xiao clan, powerful families, and officials at all levels knew about it.

This afternoon, the south gate of Jiankangtai City was opened wide, and hundreds of officials lined up on both sides of Chidao.The emperor Xiao Huan stood beside Guangyang Gate in a red dragon robe, looking forward to it.

Not only is Xiao Huan here, even Xiao Xi, who has just moved to Danyang and whose mansion has not been fully repaired, has come here. Everyone is waiting for Liu Yishou to come to Jiankang. There are too many things to do. Liu Dudu, who controlled the military and political power of Liang Guo, was executed.

"Come, come, come!"

Xiao Huan's close servant whispered in his ear.

A simple carriage drove up, without gorgeous decorations, and without four wheels and eight horses. It was similar to a "bus" at the level of the county government.

If Liu Yishou had not informed in advance, they would not have thought that the person sitting here was Liu Yishou, the famous governor of the Liang Kingdom.

Xiao Huan suppressed the excitement in his heart and stood still.

Liu Yishou got out of the car slowly, walked over to Xiao Huan and saluted Xiao Huan with his sleeves folded, "I would like to report to your majesty, I have returned victorious from the Northern Expedition to Nanyang. Now the battle of Qingxu is still going on, and the elite soldiers under my command cannot go to Beijing to offer prisoners. Please return." Your Majesty forgives."

"Uncle is too polite, too polite!"

Xiao Huan held Liu Yishou's hands excitedly, and continued: "Uncle, I have already held a banquet in the palace to cleanse my uncle!"

"Speak well, please, Your Majesty."

When speaking, Xiao Xi also gave Liu Yishou a grateful look.Liu Yishou's political reputation is extremely good, and he almost promises everything he says.As long as the things promised, everything is promised.At the beginning, he agreed to Xiao Xie and dispatched him to Danyang in exchange for Xiao Xie's food and logistics support for his army during the Battle of Nanyang.

Afterwards, Xiao Xi became the "King of Danyang" with just a paper order, and his fief is only a short distance away from Gyeonggi.This incident has already spread in Jiankang. Regardless of whether it is Liu Yishou's political opponent or not, everyone is full of praise for Liu Yishou's skill and reputation in handling affairs.

Now that the Battle of Nanyang has been won, Xiao Xie has also fulfilled his wish and was enshrined near Gyeonggi, Xiao Yu entered Jiangling, and everything that Liu Yishou promised has been implemented. It can be said that it is a rare win-win situation among many political transactions in the Liang Kingdom.

Now many central courtiers are waiting for Liu Yishou's arrival outside Taicheng, which is obviously Xiao Xi's exemplary role.

Sure enough, when Liu Yishou and many courtiers came to Xianyang Palace, they saw that the place was filled with table after table.It was already piled high with cold dishes. …

Once the table starts, the hot dishes will be served one after another. Basically, if Liu Yishou and the others take a bite, or even don't eat a bite, they will be removed and replaced with new dishes.

Meat eaters, that's how extravagant and ruthless they are!

Liu Yishou sat in front of the table closest to Xiao Huan's chief seat, and Xiao Xi was just opposite him. In addition, several people under Liu Yishou's command, such as Chen Yuankang, Cui Xian, etc., were present, even the commander of the imperial army, General Zhige Yang Kan , also seated in the hall.

When Xiao Yan held a banquet a few years ago, Zhu Yi was so beautiful, almost half of the court were his henchmen.But now these people have long since become dead bones in the grave.

It can be said that success or failure turns around!
"When I was in Nanyang, I was afraid that I would betray the trust of the emperor, and I was trembling all day. Now that I have returned to Jiankang after victory, I can finally give the emperor an explanation, and the stone in my heart has also fallen to the ground.

Come, congratulate the Son of Heaven with this cup!No matter how many military exploits I have made, it is inseparable from the trust of the emperor. "

Liu Yishou stood up, picked up his wine glass and said to Xiao Huan: "This glass is to the Son of Heaven, I wish the country a strong and prosperous country, and one day we will regain our homeland and rule the world."

With his toast, Xiao Huan finally realized the joy of being an emperor!He quickly got up, raised his wine glass and said, "Dudu Liu has worked hard!"

The atmosphere in the hall quickly became lively, with round after round of toasts.

Seeing that the atmosphere was getting better, Liu Yishou suddenly sighed deeply. When everyone in the hall saw him sigh, they immediately put away their smiles and put down the dishes in their hands.

Xiao Huan asked suspiciously: "I heard that our army won a complete victory in the battle of Nanyang, why is uncle sighing?"

"Your Majesty, to be honest, although the north is nominally the territory of the Yuan family, it is actually controlled by Gao Huan. During this battle, our army fought the enemy bravely, beheading Gao Huan's brother-in-law, Dou Tai, and shooting blind Gao Huan's eldest son. at a glance.

I heard Gao Huan vowed to take revenge on Liang Guo after learning about the battle.Now that Qingxu's battle is raging, Gao Huan is very likely to increase his troops to Qingxu.And the soldiers and horses under my command are all guarding Nanyang to prevent the Wei army from counterattacking. It is really powerless!
If Gao Huan increases his army, the consequences will be disastrous. "

While talking, he sighed bitterly, if he didn't know, he would have thought that Liu Yishou had suffered a big defeat before!

Xiao Huan knows neither government affairs nor military affairs, he is just a mascot, a symbol.Fortunately, Xiao Huan also has self-knowledge, and spends all day with those famous people recommended by Liu Yishou, dancing, writing, writing poems and painting, and his life is relaxed and comfortable.

Now Liu Yishou is reminding everyone of Qingxu's situation. Although Xiao Huan doesn't know what the other party wants, he knows how to deal with it.

"Uncle is the backbone of the country, and he is invincible. Now everyone is here, so you can raise any difficulties."

Xiao Huan said very freely, anyway, it wasn't him going to the battlefield, nor was he trying to pull him down from the throne.Liu Yishou is expanding the territory, no matter what his starting point is, it will not hinder the Xiao family's imperial power.

"It's like this. Webster's navy in Hefei is quite strong. It can patrol Yingshui and related rivers. I predict that the line east of Xuanhu may be the key area for Wei's raid. Webster's soldiers and horses can Settle here for defense."

Liu Yishou bluntly named Webster who was stationed in Hefei.

At this very moment, Wei An happened to be drinking and eating meat in the hall. After being called by Liu Yishou, he was stunned for a while, never expecting that a big cauldron would fall down on his head.

Xiao Huan looked at Wei An and said, "What do Governor Wei think?"

"Going back to the Son of Heaven, protecting the family and the land, is what it should be. As long as His Majesty's military order is sent to the barracks, he can follow the order to fight against the enemy, and I have nothing to say."

Wei An cupped his hands and said.

Now at the juncture of the banquet, Liu Yishou proposed to mobilize Webster's troops. If he refused, then the big hat of "only caring about self-interest and disregarding the country" would definitely be taken down in the future.

In any case, the present occasion had to be dealt with in the past.

"Uncle, do you think Dudu Wei's answer is okay?"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the soldiers who fought for the front line."

Liu Yishou bowed his hands gratefully and said.

The atmosphere in the main hall is peaceful, a scene where the monarch and his ministers get along well.Liu Yishou secretly breathed a sigh of relief, Xiao Huan still knew the current affairs, but Wei An's words just now were obviously just perfunctory.

It is only the beginning to allocate Liang Guo's resources for my use.

Liu Yishou secretly sighed in his heart, politics really is the art of compromise, everything is for winning!I'll be busy soon.
