Governor please stay

On the bank of Feishui, north of Shouyang City, Liu Yishou sat alone on a big rock to fish, with only Yuan Shikang by his side.

Yuan Shikang turned his back to Liu Yishou, he didn't want to see the embarrassment of the other party fishing but couldn't catch it, and he didn't want the other party to see the smile on the corner of his mouth.

Knowing that you can't catch it, why do you still want to go to the river to try your skills from time to time?Is this the legendary "people are addicted to food"?

Yuan Shikang had to admit that an expert like Liu Yishou possessed a realm that a layman like him would never understand.

"Using the life of all people to satisfy my own self-interest, can such a thing be done?"

Liu Yishou seemed to be talking to himself, but also seemed to be asking Yuan Shikang.

"My lord, different people in a country have different missions, so it is said that they each perform their own duties. The lord asks his subordinates to kill whoever he wants, and the subordinates will kill whoever they want. Even if the subordinates want to contribute to those strategic matters, they can't make them." Power up."

Yuan Shikang said convincingly, he only had two words to say to Liu Yishou, the lord: Be convinced!

"Hey, the Lord can't be angry and start the army, and the general can't be angry and attack the war. If you don't want to benefit, you have to use it, and if you have to use it, don't fight. Is Liang Guo so critical that it has to fight?"

Liu Yishou asked with a sigh.

How could Yuan Shikang answer this kind of question?
He is just a personal captain with some force and tactical command ability on the battlefield.

Whether or not to use troops and how to use them is not something he can answer.Liu Yishou is asking the wrong person.

In fact, according to Liang Guo's current superficial situation, the Northern Expedition is neither urgent nor necessary.

Even if Liu Yishou wanted to use troops, he would have to use troops against Xiao Yi in Xiangzhou, Xiao Xu and Xiao Lun in Jiangzhou, Xiao Gang and Chen Baxian in Guangzhou, and others.After finishing these things, he persuaded Xiao Ji with gentle means.

After all these things are done...well, Liu Yishou has nothing to do with ruling the world.Gao Huan and He Bayue in the north probably had grown up at that time, and even Gao Huan might have reached Guanzhong!

One is the long-term hidden danger, and the other is the short-term stability. Which one is better to choose?
Different people choose differently.Today, Lianghuai with Shouyang as the center, Jiangdong with Jiankang as the center, and Jingxiang with Xiangyang and Jiangling as the center, the economy has not been destroyed, and they are firmly in the hands of the small imperial court of Jiankang.

The economic and population conditions are much better than those of Nanchen, and there are bridgeheads like Nanyang that can be used!
Liu Yishou felt that it was a big gamble now. Even if he couldn't win the bet and win the Yellow River in Luoyang, he would rob all the population of Henan and Qingxu to the south of the Yangtze River, and hollow out Gao Huan's foundation!

Whether to go to Luoyang, let's put it aside for now, but whether to send troops to the Northern Expedition, in Liu Yishou's view, there is no doubt.

This is the reason why those who do not seek the overall situation do not seek a single domain.

There is no 100% tailwind in the world. Although I want all the habits of adults, I often have to make a choice in reality.The more difficult question is, how will Liu Yishou explain the overall situation to his subordinates?

People don't take things seriously that haven't happened.But can Liu Yishou say that in his previous life, Nan Chen just couldn't figure out the general trend, didn't grasp the right direction, and finally got stuck to death?Does anyone think that Liu Yishou is drifting away?Is it swollen?
Nan Chen spent a lot of energy in the war to eliminate the feudal towns and the powerful chieftains, and missed the critical period of the Northern Qi and Northern Zhou dynasties. By the time he came to his senses, everything had already been settled.Only Liu Yishou knew about this mistake, so who would believe it?

"Knowing that I have sinned against me, only his age, alas!"

Liu Yishou let out a long sigh. Many people might die in this Northern Expedition. If these people died meaninglessly and without value, he would feel uneasy.So he has always been very cautious, unwilling to fight.

People from Yuan Shikang's background would not feel this kind of emotion.

After all, Genji has been the thug of the Yuan Wei clan since the founding of the Northern Wei Dynasty.They would beat whoever they were told to beat. They had an extremely close relationship with the royal family and didn't care much about the suffering of the people.

It's just dead people. Who doesn't kill people in war?

"Let's go, go back to eat!"

Liu Yishou put away his fishing rod. Today's fishing time is very short, and of course there is no such thing as harvest.

"My lord, will you go back now? It's still very early."

Yuan Shikang asked curiously.

"Compared to fishing, of course it's better to think more about those dead people capsized."

Liu Yishou handed the empty fish basket to Yuan Shikang indifferently, and sighed:
"Wrath of the Son of Heaven, millions of dead bodies and thousands of miles of bleeding. If you make the decision, will you be cautious?"

"Of course it will, but only the lord can be the emperor in the future, and the general will not be the emperor in this life."

Yuan Shikang said with a helpless smile.

"Swear to sweep the Xiongnu regardless of personal safety, five thousand mint brocades to mourn the dust.

Poor Wuding Riverside Bone, still a spring boudoir dream!

If you use troops indiscriminately without understanding the situation, and let the people below pave a road to the sky with bones, is that still called a commander?
Fighting a war is not acting, and I am not an actor! "

Liu Yishou waved his hands in disappointment. Not only did he not feel more relaxed after going out to fish, but he thought of many heavy topics. If he had known earlier, he might as well sleep at home.

However, when he returned to Shouyang City, a messenger from afar sent an important news.Liu Yishou immediately called a meeting of the generals to discuss countermeasures.

……

The letter was sent by Feng Linghua, and the messenger left after delivering the letter.However, the amount of information contained in this letter was beyond Liu Yishou's expectation.

Due to the inconvenient transportation, the transmission of information is delayed.When Liu Yishou and the others learned that Er Zhurong was defeated because of a change of general, the situation in the south of Jinyang actually changed drastically again.

Previously, Erzhuzhao was defeated and trapped in Jiexiu.Er Zhurong ordered him to defend the city, and when Gao Huan's soldiers were exhausted, Murong Shaozong would send out surprise troops to restrain Gao Huan.After all, the capture of Jiexiu is not considered to have penetrated Xihe County, and Gao Huan's army still couldn't deliver the food and grass in Huguan City!

As a result, a confidant named Lu Zixian under Er Zhuzhao's command had been secretly communicating with Gao Huan a long time ago.

When Er Zhuzhao was defeated and defended Jiexiu City, Lu Zixian led people to open the gate of Jiexiu City at night, and joined forces with Gao Huan's elite soldiers to break through Jiexiu City.Erzhuzhao was defeated and died, and the remnants of the Erzhu family retreated to Xihe City (that is, Fenyang City in Tang Dynasty) in embarrassment.

Gao Huan won't give Er Zhurong any time to breathe while your illness kills you.After opening up the logistics supply line, Gao Huan's army continued to go north, not only captured Xihe City, but also took advantage of the victory to attack Qixian, Pingyao and other places controlled by Erzhu Rongjun, all in one battle!

In this way, Wu Ze, the only big lake south of Jinyang, and the tens of thousands of hectares of fertile land around Wu Ze were completely controlled.

The lake around Wuze is the main grain-producing area of ​​Jinyang.Wu Ze's average water depth is less than six meters.Its status is similar to Shaopi in Shouyang, but the water conservancy project is not as good as Shaopi. It is still an indispensable and important part of farmland irrigation.

There are thousands of hectares of fertile land around Wuze, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the granary of Jinyang, most of Erzhu Rongjun's grain and grass come from here.If he didn't control Wu Ze, Er Zhurong would definitely not be able to support so many soldiers and horses.

Er Zhurong obviously also understood the seriousness of the situation, he ordered Murong Shaozong to go out again, trying to take back Qi County and Pingyao and other places.

It's a pity that the morale of the army has been low after two previous coaching changes, and Er Zhurong didn't dare to leave Jinyang City. He was afraid that his subordinates would surrender and Gao Huan would turn his back on him.This battle has not yet begun, and the outcome is already predictable.

Sure enough, Murong Shaozong was attacked head-on by Gao Huan's army this time, and retreated to Jinyang in embarrassment.

Gao Huan's army has come back continuously, and has come out of the embarrassment of the Battle of Yubi. Now that the supply line has been opened up, there is no need to worry about being cut off, and the morale of the army is soaring.

On the contrary, it was Er Zhurong who lost Wu Ze and Er Zhuzhao, his morale was at its lowest point, and he was already unable to fight any more.

After that, Gao Huan led his troops to the north and besieged Jinyang.He knew that fortified cities were difficult to conquer, and the soldiers had lost a lot in successive battles, and they were also in a state of extreme exhaustion.

So Gao Huan wrote to Yecheng, ordering Sun Teng to arrange to transfer trilogy from various places to the north to support Jinyang.Anyway, the unstable factor of Yuanxiu had been removed, and it was useless to keep troops in Yecheng. Gao Huan decided to concentrate his troops this time to solve Er Zhurong once and for all.

Gao Huan felt that this time was a godsend opportunity, if he missed this one, it would be hard to say whether he could find a place to come back from Er Zhurong next time.

"Everyone, Gao Huan won a big victory this time, and has already cornered Er Zhurong."

Liu Yishou circulated the secret letter sent by Feng Linghua to everyone. No matter who they were, everyone looked solemn after reading it.

If Rouran's forces can contain Gao Huan's [-] elite soldiers, then Er Zhurong can contain all of Gao Huan's troops.

But the Er Zhurong now is not the same Er Zhurong as before.

Looking at it now, in the Six Towns Rebellion, the times created heroes, and Er Zhurong came out on top.Now times have changed, and when the situation is gone, the hero is also coming to an end.

At that time, if you have a sword, you are the King of Caotou, and Er Zhurong, who has a sharp sword and knows how to use a sword, is the most beautiful boy in the Northern Wei Dynasty, and no one can steal his limelight.

But now the wind direction has changed, and people have settled their minds, and they don't want to live the days of having a full meal in the morning and dying in the evening.

Leaders like Liu Yishou and Gao Huan who are good at stabilizing the political situation and winning over people's hearts stand out.Even if Er Zhurong doesn't want to admit it, the world has changed a long time ago, and it's no longer the time for him to stand out.

Times create heroes, and heroes will eventually fall because of changes in times, just as they rose back then.

All the people present were filled with emotion. At the beginning, Liu Yishou insisted on parting ways with Er Zhurong. It is estimated that Yuan Shikang and others secretly regretted it in their hearts.Looking back now, isn't this a kind of prejudgment with bright eyes?

"Not only do we need to send troops this time, but we also need to send troops quickly. If we wait until Jinyang is breached, it will be too late for regret."

Wang Wei said with a serious face. Everyone in the study nodded frequently. Obviously, they all agreed that it was meaningful to send troops to contain Gao Huan's military strength.

"To move out quickly, we must first send a large army to contain Gao Huan, there cannot be too many troops, 1 people are enough.

If there are too many people, the soldiers and horses will go ahead without using food and grass, and a large number of auxiliary troops will be needed.Now that it is spring plowing, large-scale use of troops has too many disadvantages. "

Liu Yishou sighed leisurely, and continued: "I'm afraid this time, there will be another White Robe Northern Expedition."

After he finished speaking, everyone present held their breath and straightened their backs. It was self-evident what he wanted to do.

When the white-robed army went to the Northern Wei Dynasty, it was a rare military highlight during Xiao Yan's reign. At other times, they were all fighting with more and less, or fighting not far from their hometown. It was really not a big victory.

Just like the Battle of Guoyang and the Battle of Zhongli, the Southern Army deserved to win, and if they lost, it was just that their skills were inferior to others, and it was really not worth bragging about.

Who doesn't want to play the White Robe Northern Expedition again, and it will last a lifetime when they come back.

"My lord, in the name of the Northern Expedition to the Kingdom of Wei, I will actually rescue Er Zhurong. The profit of this battle is not worth mentioning, it is only for the long-term consideration."

Wang Wei folded his sleeves and saluted, and said in a deep voice.

Luoyang cannot be defeated in this battle, or it is very difficult and requires extraordinary performance.But as long as Er Zhurong can be rescued successfully and let the other side restrain Gao Huan for a few more years, then the goal will be achieved.

"Don't be so pessimistic."

Liu Yishou waved his hand and said: "The land of Henan, the land of Qingxu, has many household registrations. When we went north, we moved the people to Jianghuai or Jiankang. After Gao Huan only has one Hebei, let's see what he takes. Fight us.

Keep people lose ground, people gain both.If you lose your land, you will lose both your land and your people.

This time we will have two armies, one will select the most elite soldiers and be responsible for attacking the city and conquering the territory.There is also a large and small boat ready to move the people in the occupied land to the south.

With a two-pronged approach, as long as Gao Huan's soldiers and horses are attracted to the south, we can retreat slowly.Even the enemy can advance and retreat, and the enemy can retreat and advance, so it is not easy to fight decisively. "

Liu Yishou's words stunned everyone, and Mao Xi couldn't help asking: "My lord, in this way, how do you count your military achievements?"

"Military orders are used to record credit, not land grabbing or harvesting. This time we are trying to attract the main force of Gao Huan's army to go south, and the scale of sending troops is also limited. If we count the gains, everyone will be red-eyed. Now is not the time for a decisive battle with Gao Huan. .”

The current situation is a bit like a replica of the meeting in Liu Yishou's previous life when Hou Jing just took refuge in Nanliang.

In terms of geographical advantages and disadvantages, it is easy for the army of the Southern Dynasty to win a temporary victory on this battlefield, but it is very difficult to keep the territory it occupies.

Since Er Zhurong's downfall seems imminent, it is very important to take extraordinary measures in extraordinary times!

The urgency of this matter comes first.

"My lord, if this matter is brought to the court of Jiankang, I'm afraid I will be powerless. Things like rescuing Er Zhurong cannot be stated clearly."

Wang Wei reminded calmly.

If we talk about it, some ignorant ministers will definitely suggest: Er Zhurong and Gao Huan dog bite dog, wouldn't it be best to let them bite each other?Let's sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, isn't it good to take advantage of the fisherman?
The climate in the south of the Yangtze River is pleasant, and the economy is now very developed. The Southern Dynasties are not eager to hope for the Northern Expedition. After all, the northerners have not come to fight now, have they?

Wang Wei's words can be said to be to the point: How can we do good politics with those bugs?
"So, I can only make a fuss about Yuan Xiu's affairs."

Liu Yishou nodded slightly and said.

"Yuan Quan...?"

"Yes, actually, I also want to support Yuan Ziyou, but he is no longer here."

Liu Yishou smiled helplessly.

It was fine if he didn't say anything, everyone present almost forgot who Yuan Ziyou was, anyway...it was just a dead bone in Yuan's Tomb.

"Okay, that's it. For this Northern Expedition, we will form a new army, still called the White Robe Army, with Chen Qingzhi's old White Robe Army as the backbone."

Liu Yishou slapped his hands and directly finalized the matter.
