Governor please stay

"Ding! Ding!"

"Ding! Ding!"

Even in the daytime, the sound of tunnel digging continued to come from under the earth platform, accompanied by slightly perceptible vibrations.Standing on top of the trench that had been dug in advance, Wei Xiaokuan laughed and shook his head, not knowing whether to laugh at Gao Huan for being smart or stupid.

In the siege warfare throughout the ages, digging tunnels and sending troops into the city is the most common method, but the success rate is actually terribly low!It is so low that there are not many famous battle cases.

Instead, the method of digging trenches outside the city so that they can hide soldiers and horses, thereby shortening the siege distance has been tried and tested, and there are many successful cases.

During the Three Kingdoms period, Yuan Shao, Gongsun Zan, Cao Cao, Zhuge Liang and others all used these tricks.

Obviously, Gao Huan is now being forced to go to the doctor in a hurry due to illness.

At this moment, a small hole was opened in a place in the trench, and a soldier of the Gao Huan Army just got out when he was stabbed through the heart by the defender!Immediately afterwards, the frenzied defenders poured kerosene on the half-dried branches, burned them at the entrance of the cave, and sent someone to fan them!

Suddenly there was a violent coughing sound in the tunnel.

"What a crime..."

Wei Xiaokuan shook his head, turned around and left the tunnel, he was too lazy to watch this kind of unnutritive one-sided killing, it was really meaningless.

The defenders in the city felt extremely relaxed. In contrast, Gao Huan, who was supervising the battle on the dirt hill opposite the city, was already distorted with anger!
"Li Yexing! Can you explain to me why the defenders in the city are on guard after every tunnel is dug?"

Gao Huan glared at the bewildered Li Yexing and shouted angrily!
Duan Shao glanced at the angered Li Yexing, and secretly sighed.Yubi City itself is not big, and it is divided into east and west halves, each part is even smaller.

If someone is digging in your yard and your house is full of people wandering around, can you not know what happened?

The vigilance of the defenders is obvious!

This matter was indeed not Li Yexing's fault.Looking at it from another angle, more than a dozen tunnels were dug. Although every exit was served by the defenders there, no water veins were dug halfway!

Li Yexing is indeed capable, and Duan Shao is also convinced of this.

"Xiaoxian, take your people and dig a tunnel in the vice city to the west."

Just when Duan Shao was in a daze, Gao Huan suddenly said something.

Li Yexing said before that there is a water vein in the west, and it is easy to dig out groundwater by digging a tunnel, but I don't know if it is true or not.Gao Huan no longer trusts Li Yexing, and even suspects that the other party is the internal agent of the Guanzhong gang, so he does the opposite.

Since digging tunnels in the east failed, Duan Shao was simply asked to dig in the west.

Duan Shao could only complain about Gao Huan's logic. After thinking for a long time, he said helplessly, "Follow King Gao's order!"

The boss said to dig a tunnel, so dig it!

Duan Shao actually had ideas in his heart, but judging from the current situation, Gao Huan was already in a daze and could not listen to any advice.Gao Huan can only accept it when all the roads are blocked and all the methods are ineffective, and then he proposes that method. …

Winning is a surprise, and losing is harmless.

In this battle of attacking Yubi, Duan Shao deeply understood what his father Duan Rong often said, "Human nature is king".Sometimes it is not possible to do things with passion.

Specifically for a protagonist like Gao Huan, it is necessary to follow the hair, not to disobey the opponent and force the argument.

However, a few days later, Duan Shao told Gao Huan with a dejected face: The tunnel was dug on the west side, and after trying several roads, water came out. Even if the tunnel didn't come out of water, the soil was very wet and it was easy to landslide.

Only then did Gao Huan die down, and stopped yelling at Li Yexing.

……

On the edge of Qingxi outside Jiankang Dongfu City, people are still coming and going, and it is extremely prosperous.The influence of the vassal king's rebellion in the past has long since disappeared, and merchants from all over the world can be seen everywhere.

These people talk about business in the shop in Qingxi, then pick up the goods from warehouses in other places, transport the goods from Chidao in the north to Jingkou, and finally ship them to sea.

At this time, Jiankang is very close to the coastline, and Jingkou is the seaside, so it doesn't seem like an exaggeration to say that Jiankang's sea trade is extremely developed.

In a pavilion beside Qingxi, Liu Yishou was sitting leisurely chatting with a middle-aged man, his tone was very relaxed.

"My brother-in-law will be found here today, but what's the matter?"

The person who was asking the question was Cui Shiqian who had nothing to do after he had migrated from Nanyang to Jiankang and was cast idle.To say that his main job during this time is probably to take care of his younger sister Cui Yaolan who just gave birth to a son.

The status quo has changed, and even the title has changed along with it.Liu Yishou sent Yuan Shikang to meet him here, and Cui Shiqian was so excited!
Cui Shiqian, who has lost power, only now understands the importance of power.Without the promise from Nanyang, he would be nothing in Jiankang now.

Although Liu Yishou took care of them and no one came to bother them, their lives were quite dull, and they were almost idle.

"Actually, there is a rather difficult matter. I want brother Cui to take the lead. As long as it can be done well, it will not be a problem to gain a foothold in Jiankang officialdom, and it can even go further. But... it is more difficult."

Liu Yishou sighed, as if unwilling to mention it, looking very hypocritical.

The so-called "comparatively difficult" actually means "not difficult at all"!If it was really difficult, why did Liu Yishou bring Cui Shiqian here to chat?
Cui Shiqian has nothing to do at home, but Liu Yishou is a busy person, and he doesn't have enough time to play with his concubines every day!
"Brother-in-law's words are out of the question. With my brother-in-law as the backing, what else can be done inside and outside Jiankang City, hahahaha!"

Cui Shiqian smiled heartily, and understood what Liu Yishou said.

Come here, if you have any tricks, just go straight to it!
"That's it. I wonder if Brother Cui has heard about Zhanshange."

Liu Yishou put away his smile and asked seriously.

Although Cui Shiqian did not become an official, he was always ready to be an official, so how could he not be in harmony with Liang Guo's political situation and Jiankang's court situation?Not to mention that Liu Yishou personally proposed, promoted, and personally supervised this policy. …

It can be said that there is no more important internal affairs in Liang Guo recently than the implementation of "Zhanshange".

As the leader of a northern family who has managed Wubao for a long time, Cui Shiqian naturally knows where the key points of Zhanshange are. Liu Yishou is laying the foundation for the full implementation of land equalization and granting of land!
Zhanshange is not linked to the military system, so it is a good experimental field.If the effect of the implementation is good, the next step is to equalize and grant land linked to the military system. What Liu Yishou wants to do is to find ways to hollow out the foundation of the original Liang family tyrants!

For Cui Shiqian, this matter is of course a good thing with all benefits and no harm.They went from the north to Nanyang, and then from Nanyang to Jiankang. They didn't have an inch of land here!Every acre won is earned!
If the old aristocratic families don't spit out the fat in their mouths, where will these newcomers from the north get benefits from military exploits and political achievements?
In other words, the worse the death of the clan headed by Wang Xie, the more beneficial it would be for Cui Shiqian, a descendant from a family from the north. After all, any resource is limited, and it is too difficult to open up wasteland, and the income is too slow.

Cui Shiqian not only has the motivation to fight against the aristocratic family of the Southern Dynasty from the perspective of interpersonal relationship, but also has an incompatible position with the opponent!

There is no better knife than Cui Shiqian in promoting the method of "Zhanshange".Cultured, thoughtful, and with many years of experience in politics and the military, I have to say that Liu Yishou has a vicious eye for candidates.

""Zhanshange" covers a wide range, I wonder what my brother-in-law is talking about?"

Cui Shiqian asked while pretending to understand.

"Of course it's the recent civil unrest in Jurong County."

Liu Yishou said in a low voice calmly.

Cui Shiqian nodded slightly, this matter is not a secret, Jurong County is far away from Jiankang City, and now there is a lot of trouble.The so-called rioters are still confronting the slave hunting team sent by the family in Jurong Mountain.

And the slave hunting team is not a private army, they can only be regarded as dog legs doing dirty work on the periphery of the aristocratic family, so Liu Yishou is actually very passive now, and letting Yang Zhong go out to arrest people has fallen into disrepute.

At this time, a jurong county magistrate who is biased is extremely important in the pattern.

"Does my brother-in-law want to go to Jurong County to be the county magistrate and end this matter?"

Cui Shiqian asked in a low voice, with his ingenuity, it is easy to figure out the joints.

"That's right, even if Brother Cui doesn't go, the tyrants of the aristocratic family will make every effort to let their people go. Rather than being passive at that time, it is better to strike first."

Although Liu Yishou disdained to play big games with those "stinky chess baskets" inside and outside Jiankang City, but it is not an answer to let these flies interfere with governance.

These people actually didn't give him a daughter for Liu, they simply didn't take themselves seriously.

Liu Yishou felt that he was being soft-handed, and did not kill people like Hou Jing did in Jiankang, so some sluts thought that his knife was not fast enough to kill people.

"Well, I understand. It's just brother-in-law, what are you going to do?"

Since you are doing things for others, you must not mess things up.Cui Shiqian always needs to know how far Liu Yishou wants to do things.

"None of the slave hunting teams in the hands of the aristocratic family is innocent, but anyone with a little idea will not do this job. …

I will send people to arrest all the troublemakers this time and put them in prison in Jiankang.Brother Cui is in charge of collecting black materials about those people in Jurong County.I believe that it doesn't take much effort to get all the black materials.

When the time comes, you send all these materials to Jiankang, and then try these old cases in Jiankang, and don't mention the Sange matter.The slave hunters would behead any one they found, and when they were all dead, the troublemakers would naturally stand on the side of reason.

The plot of the aristocratic family behind those people to use Zhanshange to provoke trouble will be self-defeating.

After this matter subsides, I can naturally promote Brother Cui to the Jiankang Center because of my meritorious service in governing Jurong County, how about it? "

Liu Yishou looked at Cui Shiqian with burning eyes and asked.

What else can we do? For the sake of talking, can Cui Shiqian refuse?
Liu Yishou has already arranged him clearly!

"So, thank you brother-in-law for your support. When can I take office?"

Cui Shiqian asked with a soft sigh.

"Let's go to the post tomorrow. Yang Zhong has already led the troops to arrest people. You should do your own things and don't interfere with each other."

Liu Yishou originally wanted to propose to see Cui Yaolan, but he was worried that those girls who were idle in the Jiankang Palace thought too much, so he finally gave up.

These girls have already held silver parties together, and have seen each other's most private and ugly postures. They are already on the same boat.

At first glance, it seems inconceivable that so many women form an alliance, but it is actually very easy to understand when comparing the 72 concubines of the Sangong and Six Courtyards of the emperors of all dynasties.

In the future, no matter how many women there are around Liu Yishou, they will not be from this circle.Including their children, the circle will also be divided to some extent.

The way for a man to survive is to do more and talk less, or even do more and not talk.

It's a bit sensitive at this moment, let's talk about it after a while, don't tease the sensitive nerves of your own girls.Liu Yishou has decided not to take Cui Yaolan into his residence for the time being, but to raise her and her child outside.

There may be women like this in the future, but it is really difficult for men.Inferior men are disgusted by women, and they are exhausted physically and mentally; high-quality men are sought after by women, and they are still exhausted physically and mentally.

A first-class man with a home away from home.

Liu Yishou feels that although this is only a small step, it is a big step in life, and it is really difficult to take this step.

For a moment, he couldn't help feeling a little sad, man, he really can't get away with anything.

Seeing his melancholy expression, Cui Shiqian asked suspiciously: "Does my brother-in-law think there is anything wrong?"

"No, nothing wrong, it's just that I thought of something and felt a little bit emotional, hahahahahaha!"

Liu Yishou laughed casually with a little embarrassment, bid farewell to Cui Shiqian and left towards his mansion.

Last night was purely for fun, and there were too many girls, it was impossible to do something too outrageous.

But recently, I have to work hard at night.

Liu Yishou sighed silently, Chen Yuankang lived a chic life, and the Marriage Law is indeed a magic weapon to protect men.

…………

"Why is it not working? What is the problem?"

In the commander's tent, in front of all the generals, Gao Huan was furious.All kinds of methods have been tried, but Yubi City stands still.As the days passed, casualties piled up and morale dropped visibly.

Either the tunnel is leaking or there is an ambush at the other end after the tunnel is dug through, no matter how you play!Climb the city wall directly, the defenders are tightly guarded, and the exchange ratio is too terrifying, and Gao Huan can't afford it.

It's not easy to use arrows to suppress it. All the enemy troops wear iron helmets for cavalry. Although it looks funny, the protection is also in place.
Gao Huan's current appearance could not be more aptly described by using the four words "incompetent and furious".

"King Gao, there will be a strategy in the end, which may be useful."

When all the generals were silent, Duan Shao stood up decisively to offer advice.

"Huh? Useful?"

Gao Huan calmed down, squinted his eyes and asked, "How is it useful?"

"The reason why Tongtai in the northeast becomes the main attack direction is because the slope here is relatively gentle. Although a city wall has been erected, it is the only gap in the high platform in the east. The tight protection is also the biggest flaw.

So as long as the city wall here collapses, the things that the defenders of Yubi City rely on will no longer exist.At the end of the day, he knew a method of acupoint attack. As long as Mr. Li surveyed the key position, he could use the method of acupoint attack to collapse the city wall.

Since there is no good way at present, you might as well try this method to see the effect. "

In fact, Duan Shao didn't need Li Yexing to do anything wrong at all, but if he came in as a backer, he would always bear less responsibility after failure.You can also show that you don't want to monopolize the credit, which kills two birds with one stone.

Sure enough, Li Yexing, with a scholarly mindset and no scheming, stood up and said to Gao Huan: "Gao Wang, General Duan is very right. Since there is no good way now, why not try it? Maybe it will open the situation."

Duan Shao glanced at Li Yexing, labeling him as a "good old man" in his heart, then lowered his head and did not speak.

"Then you two will try and talk."

Gao Huan was already a little disheartened.
