Governor please stay

Chapter 509 Death is coming
For a lot of people, it was a really tough night.Time seems to go very slowly, and every time those faint roars and cries come from the night sky, it will make people feel different discomforts.

After all, different people worry about different things.

After finally dawn, Gao Yang, who hadn't slept all night on the top of the city, saw a listless Wei army coming towards the main city of Fangtou.It can be seen from a distance that almost everyone of those soldiers is wounded.

"Yan Shen, do you want to let these people into the city?"

Gao Yang turned his head and asked Zhao Yanshen behind him.

"Second son, what General Li wants must be dealt with by King Gao. You only need to tell King Gao what you think in private, and you don't have to write everything on your face.

If General Li is not allowed to bring the trilogy into the city, there is no guarantee that the other party will not do radical things in the future, and the young master will also lose face. "

Hearing Zhao Yanshen's words, Gao Yang nodded slightly, deeply agreeing.

What you want to do behind your back, you don't have to show it.In the future, if Li Yuanzhong was in bad luck, it would be his business to seek revenge. There is no need for everyone to think that he, Gao Yang, was doing something.

If Li Yuanzhong's trilogy is not allowed to enter the city, isn't it clear that he thinks that the other party is likely to have an affair with Liu Yishou and cannot be trusted.Naturally, there is no reason to do such a thankless and offending thing.

After figuring out the identities of the remnant soldiers in the city, Gao Yang waved his hand to let Li Yuanzhong enter the city with the trilogy, and soon saw this unlucky man with a disheveled face and torn military uniform under the city.

"General Li fought fiercely last night, and the enemy's situation was unknown, so I didn't send troops out of the city to support. Please forgive me. How is the situation outside the city now, can you tell me?"

Gao Yang asked calmly, and cleared the relationship in a few words.

The situation last night was too chaotic, it is impossible to protect the city from being stolen if you go out of the city to support, it is my duty not to rescue you, if you lose the battle, don't rely on me.

Hearing this, Li Yuanzhong felt as if he was forcibly fed a bowl of xiang. He was so disgusted, but he had nothing to say.

"Last night, the Liang army raided the granary. The means they used were not simple. The general picked up some strange wreckage near the burned granary."

After Li Yuanzhong finished speaking, he winked at the soldiers, and the soldiers beside him quickly handed Gao Yang a burnt black "Shenhuo Flying Crow".

"The bamboo tube should be filled with fierce fire oil, but after this one was shot, the bamboo tube cracked early, and all the oil inside leaked out, so it was not burned completely.

Liang Jun dived into the river around Fangtou by water, and then launched this kind of thing on the boat, igniting the granary and then quickly evacuated.When the last general took his subordinates to the rescue, he was ambushed by the opponent and suffered heavy losses.

After the last general reorganized his troops, the ambush had already changed places.When our army went to rescue the next granary, it was ambushed again.Then……"

Li Yuanzhong didn't continue talking, and it seemed that there was no need to continue.

All in all, he was being led by the nose like a fool. The enemy army who attacked the Fangtou granary was even more familiar with the terrain than he, the defending general.

He was ambushed when he wanted to fight the fire, and the enemy ran away when he went to clear the ambush.When he sent people to put out the fire again, he was ambushed again.In the end, he had no choice but to lie flat to protect himself, let the granary be burned down, and did nothing more.

If you don't do anything, you will lose some food and grass, and if you act recklessly, you will lose your troops.Any rational general would make the same choice as him.

Gao Yang, Duan Shao and others were dumbfounded after Li Yuanzhong finished speaking.

They thought that the enemy had raided the granary to set fire to it, but they didn't expect that things were completely different from what they had imagined.

"General Li, King Gao ordered you to take the troops back to Yecheng for repairs, and report to the central government by the way. The transfer order is here."

Duan Shao handed Gao Huan's official transfer order to Li Yuanzhong with a blank face, and the latter frowned slightly, already smelling something unusual.

"Does General Duan have anything to say?"

Li Yuanzhong asked calmly, as if thinking.

Duan Shao is young and mature, and he is not like Gao Cheng, nor does he have the capital to offend others at will like Gao Cheng.

Duan Shao clasped his fists and said, "I'm just ordered to support Fangtou, and I'm here to convey the military order. If General Li has any questions in mind, just ask Gao Wang directly after meeting. I'm just an errand runner, and I can't answer General Li's questions." question."

"So, that's fine. At the end of the day, he will lead his troops back to Yecheng."

Li Yuanzhong sighed, he could feel something was wrong from some small details.In addition, he was a little guilty at first, and someone had to take the blame for the loss of Henan, as if he was the best scapegoat.

Feng Longzhi had already been captured, but instead he let go of his responsibilities. At this moment, Li Yuanzhong really wanted to get drunk.

After Li Yuanzhong left Fangtou City with his troops, Gao Yang quietly found Duan Shao and asked about military affairs.After all, Gao Yang himself does not know how to lead troops to fight.

Now he is still working hard to learn all useful knowledge.It is better to listen to the opinions of "professionals" in the battle last night.

"General Duan, how was the battle last night?"

Gao Yang asked in a low voice.

Li Yuanzhong was an outsider, so Gao Yang could just listen to what he said, he wouldn't take it seriously.But Duan Shao is related to him, and they are properly his own.

"If I'm not wrong, it must be Liu Yishou who personally led the attack. Second son, Fangtou is no longer safe. King Gao will definitely let you go back to Yecheng in two days. Remember to tell King Gao when the time comes. Do not allow the imperial court to leave Yecheng."

Zhao Yanshen said the same thing last night, and now Duan Shao is saying the same thing, so Gao Yang couldn't believe it.

"Second Young Master, let's go to rest first. Today we have to clean up the battlefield and prepare for another sneak attack by the Liang army. It is very unsafe to go out of the city. Second Young Master, please take care of yourself and don't take risks lightly."

Duan Shao saluted Gao Yang solemnly, then turned and left.He still needs to spend some time reviewing this battle and studying Liu Yishou's tactics.

Otherwise, you will still lose the next time you meet.

……

It was already dawn.

At the ferry on the north bank of the Yellow River, Liu Yishou ordered Yang Zhong to count the number of soldiers. After the count, the soldiers boarded the ship one by one and prepared to leave.

The losses in this battle were minimal, except for some losses in the encounter between Yang Zhong and Wei Jun Jingqi, the other two came back almost completely.

Among them, the troops responsible for setting fire to the granary were not found by the Wei army. After shooting the sacred fire and flying crows, they fished all the way, retreated calmly to the bank of the Yellow River, and guarded the large boats used to cross the river.

"Lan Jing is gone?"

Hearing Yang Zhong's report, Liu Yishou was a little surprised, as expected, he was afraid of something.I didn't expect such a complete victory to lose Lan Jing!This kind of battle loss ratio may not be able to be replicated in my life.

Liu Yishou suddenly lamented the impermanence of fate, a shadow cast over his heart, and the joy of victory was diluted a lot.

Yang Zhong led the elite cavalry to fight against the cavalry reinforced by the Wei army.The two armies passed by each other, neither of them wanted to fight. I just lost dozens of horses on my side, and some were injured.

I believe that the number of casualties on Wei Jun's side should be about the same. After all, this is not a big battle, and there is no one-sided killing.Why is it such a coincidence that Lan Jing is the only one among so few people?
"Didn't you tell him to stare at him?"

Liu Yishou asked Yang Zhong with some complaints.

"My lord, at that time our side was in the dark. Lan Jing was by my side when the army rushed to kill, and the fire was lit by the enemy army. He was not by my side when the general led the cavalry after the charge. I thought He was in the team, and it was not easy to count at that time..."

Yang Zhong defended with a embarrassed face, he really didn't know what to say.

On the battlefield, swords have no eyes, and it is not uncommon for anyone to die. It is more common to be cut by others while riding a horse. Isn't that what people eat when they lick blood on the edge of a knife?
In the sudden situation last night, if Yang Zhong didn't make a rush, the team in charge of ambush would definitely be in bad luck, and it's unknown how many people would die by then.

The lesser of two evils, Yang Zhong doesn't think he did anything wrong.

It should be said that he acted strictly according to Liu Yishou's military order, and covered the friendly army, and he also retreated completely.

Even if you do it again, you may not be able to do better.

The battle last night was really fun, almost suppressing the Wei army, and the opponent couldn't even tell the difference between the south, the east, and the north.Of course, it would be more perfect if the support soldiers didn't come!
Yang Zhong didn't feel much regret in his heart, but he had to show a grievance on his face, and he seemed at a loss what to do.

"Forget it, everyone has their own destiny, let's talk about it when we go back."

Liu Yishou sighed, beckoning Yang Zhong to take Buqu to board the boat and cross the river, looking sullen.

A dog can develop feelings after being raised for several years, let alone a person?Yang Zhong understood this very well, but he couldn't say anything more, and he didn't know how to comfort Liu Yishou.

On the surface, it may seem that Liu Yishou was unhappy because he had lost a person who was similar to his "adopted son".But in fact, it may just feel guilty because of the entrustment owed to Lan Chin.

Maybe there are both emotions, but it is not something outsiders can comfort.

Although Yang Zhong understands that he did nothing wrong, he is one of the persons responsible for this incident after all. It is better not to hang around in front of Liu Yishou in the near future. Who knows if the big boss will give you small shoes to wear? .

When all the personnel arrived, the fleet slowly left the north bank of the Yellow River.

Standing at the bow of the boat, Liu Yishou saw that Yang Zhong was a bit cautious, so he patted his arm hard.

"People have joys and sorrows, and the moon waxes and wanes. After returning home, Lan Jing will be credited in the credit book. He died for the country, and he deserved it.

Lan Qin, Lan Jing's father, after killing Xiao Gang in the future, he should be rehabilitated.The timing of your attack in this battle was right. Lan Jing's disappearance is not your fault. "

Liu Yishou sighed, he had already adjusted his emotions, and in turn he was still comforting Yang Zhong.

"The lord uses soldiers like gods, and Yang is convinced of the lord. In the future, the lord will definitely be able to rule the world and end the war!

Yang is bound to serve the lord in the saddle! "

Yang Zhong suddenly knelt down on one knee to express his loyalty, and Liu Yishou quickly helped him up, fearing that if the boat under his feet shook, he would accidentally fall into the Yellow River.

"Enter Xingyang first, let's take a closer look at Fangtou. This should be our last visit to the north bank of the Yellow River in the near future."

Liu Yishou looked at the river and said with a faint sigh.

"Wan Sheng!"

Ma Fonian's shouts came from the cabin.

"Wan Sheng!" "Wan Sheng!" "Wan Sheng!"

For a while, the shouts between the ships were endless, and all the soldiers were using this method to vent their joy.

It was a natural catharsis after the tension exploded, and the spirit relaxed after learning of the victory.

"My lord, the military spirit is available!"

Yang Zhong cupped his hands and said excitedly.

Liu Yishou waved his hands with his back to him, without saying a word.

……

In the study of the Fangtou County Government, Lan Jing was brought here by all kinds of gangsters. Apart from the 12-year-old Gao Yang in front of him, Duan Shao and Gao Yang's confidant Zhao Yanshen were also there.

Lan Jing's expression was cold and arrogant, he looked at death as if he were at home, and he was not afraid at all, which made Duan Shao and others amazed.

"You are Lan Jing, your father Lan Qin used to be a general of the Liang Kingdom, and later entrusted you to Liu Yishou.

It's not an exaggeration to say that you are Liu Yishou's adopted son. Although you don't have this title, all the cronies in Liu Yishou's army treat you like this. Am I right? "

Gao Yang asked with great interest, and winked at Zhao Yanshen.The latter quickly untied the rope on Lan Jing's body.

In the battle last night, Lan Jing unfortunately fell off his horse and passed out, but luckily he was not trampled or seriously injured.This morning, he didn't know the way and wandered around Fangtou, and was captured by Duan Shao's elite soldiers who were patrolling.

Seeing that the child in front of him treated him very politely, Lan Jing asked calmly, "How do you know this?"

"You still have your comrades captured, they have already informed us of your identity."

Duan Shao interrupted and said.

He wasn't lying, and these things were certainly no secret.

"Sneak attack last night, you divided your troops into three groups, set fire on one side, fight reinforcements on the other side, and back up on the other side. You are one of the reserve cavalry, am I right?"

Duan Shao asked with a smile, he was afraid that Lan Jing would not speak, and continued to add: "It doesn't matter if you say it or not, we are enemies with Liu Yishou, but we are not personal enemies, and we have no personal grievances, so there is no need to humiliate you for fun.

Even if you don't talk about these issues, it's not difficult for us to figure them out. "

After Duan Shao brought people to clean the battlefield, he had basically replayed the battle.For a moment, everyone was amazed at Liu Yishou's boldness and carefulness!

Many tricks, if you look at them afterwards, they are not worth mentioning at all.For example, during the Five Hu and Sixteen Kingdoms period, Wang Meng used the golden sword trick against Murong Chui, which was nothing more than buying the other party's cronies and then telling a lie.

But in a specific environment, it is a killing game that cannot be cracked.

Liu Yishou's style of play is also simple but not simple.If it wasn't for the fact that he had already grasped the battle situation in advance, no matter how courageous he was, he wouldn't dare to play like this.

At the time of this sneak attack, it was the critical moment when Wei Jun's army in Henan suffered a disastrous defeat, while the army in Hebei had not yet made a large-scale reinforcement, and seriously misjudged the current situation.

Earlier, Liang Jun could not reach Fangtou, and later, Fangtou was heavily guarded, and there was no way to start.

It's not that others are reckless and ignorant, but that people with high skills are bold, and they dare to take on porcelain work if they have diamonds.

From the fact that Duan Shao rushed to Fangtou but was a step late, it can be seen that Liu Yishou's prediction of the military situation was far ahead of Gao Huan.This game is to see who strikes fast and who strikes early!
Whoever strikes first wins the upper hand, and whoever strikes later gets passive. Although Liu Yishou won, before this round started, it was actually fair to both Liu Yishou and Gao Huan.

If Gao Huan had the guts to send elite troops to surprise Hulao Pass, would it be possible to beat Liu Yishou with Sap?

In fact, the chances are very great, but it is too late to say this now.The outcome of the first phase of the battle between Liang Jun and Wei Jun has been decided, and Liu Yishou will no longer send troops across the river to attack.The location of the next decisive battle is very likely to be the offensive and defensive battle of Xingyang City.

Duan Shao was convincingly defeated in this round, it's just that his skills are not as good as others, there is no excuse.Of course, he didn't think he was very responsible, mainly because Gao Huan's consciousness couldn't keep up with the rhythm of the war, and he was too cautious.

"I still need a horse-leader by my side, so you stay as my squire and lead the horse for me. Don't worry, follow me, no one will bully you."

Gao Yang smiled slightly, walked to Lan Jing and continued to introduce himself to him: "I am Gao Yang, the second son of Prince Gao."

Zhao Yanshen walked up to Lan Jing's side, pressed his shoulders, and whispered in his ear calmly: "If you want to live a good life, you should work hard with Second Young Master, otherwise you, a Liang Jun prisoner, will die."

Zhao Yanshen directly pushed Lan Jing to the ground and knelt down to salute.
