Governor please stay

Chapter 51 The strangely drawn sword is unsheathed
"Ten years of sharpening a sword." Liu Yishou said calmly, he taught Xiao Yezi to read and write in the stone house.

"Ten years of sharpening a sword." Xiao Yezi read obediently, and skillfully wrote five words on the paper with a brush.It can be seen that she should have been educated at a very young age, and she can write basic common characters.

This child's tutoring must not be simple, and it is definitely not something that "benefactor" can handle.She is more like a family daughter from a family background.

"The Frost Blade has never been tried."

"Brother, how do you write Shuang?"

"You write it down first, and let Sister Xiaoyue teach you how to write."

"Oh, well, Frostblade never tried."

"I will show you today."

"I will show you today."

"Who is wrong."

"Who is wrong."

Xiao Yezi followed Liu Yishou and was very clever. She would recite this five-character quatrain after reading it once, which made Liu Yishou amazed.

"Good! The poem is good, and the person who wrote it is even better!"

The half-covered door was pushed open, and Er Zhurong's voice sounded behind Liu Yishou.

"Little Ye Zi, memorize this poem, I will test you tomorrow."

"Okay brother, I'm going to play with Sister Xiaoyue."

She obediently took the piece of paper with the poem on it and left, closing the door behind her.

"Take things to express your will, I really didn't misunderstand you."

Er Zhurong patted Liu Yishou on the shoulder in relief and said, as if deliberately looking for something to say.

"Great Governor's praise, late at night, but for today's matter of Yuan Ziyou?"

Liu Yishou asked suspiciously.

Er Zhurong sighed softly and nodded.

Liu Yishou hurried Er Zhurong to sit down and closed the door.

"The current situation in Luoyang is very complicated. What do you think?"

Er Zhurong asked calmly.

Although Liu Yishou was smart, he was obviously not as familiar with Er Zhurong as He Bayue was with Er Zhurong.

So the latter asked questions with reservations.

"Luoyang is a prison cage, and the governor cannot enter Luoyang. If you enter, you will be like a tiger entering the cage, and you will not be able to use all your strength to get out."

Liu Yishou said seriously.

Er Zhurong nodded slightly, agreeing with Liu Yishou's statement, because he felt the same way.

"Then how do you think it should be handled better?"

Those who can ask questions can only be considered above the standard, but what Er Zhurong needs is someone who can solve problems.

"As the saying goes, a gentleman jumps like a man without shooting. When an arrow shoots out, even if it is powerful, it will lose its deterrent power. Only the arrow that has not been shot is the most powerful.

Therefore, the governor cannot ignore Luoyang, nor can he directly enter Luoyang. "

"You mean..."

"I will take a trip to Luoyang for the governor. The governor only needs to garrison troops outside the city of Luoyang without attracting attention. The rest will be handled by the subordinates. But how to arrange everything is up to my subordinates."

It sounds very plausible, but... what if the Luoyang aristocratic family jumps over the wall in a hurry and chops up Liu Yishou and his group?
These people are all important subordinates of him, so it would be too unfair to lose them here?

For a while, Er Zhurong became fond of talents.

"It's not impossible, it's just that I have one more thing, and I'm quite... well, worried."

Er Zhurong said hesitantly and coyly, as if a big girl was about to get married.

"The governor has something to do, but it's okay to talk about it. The humble post will definitely share the worries of the governor."

Liu Yishou cupped his hands and said.

"The nobles of the noble families in Luoyang are like maggots. It's disgusting. Wei Guo is in danger, and they are still running around. Do you think these people should be killed?"

Er Zhurong asked in a deep voice.

"Great Governor, please continue, the humble official has its own way to deal with it."

Liu Yishou said neither humble nor overbearing.

What he said made Er Zhurong a little embarrassed.

This kind of speech is like a scumbag attacking a girl. It starts with a handshake and ends with "negative distance communication".During the process, the process can be flexibly controlled, and any step that can be conquered is counted as any step.

And Liu Yishou directly asked Er Zhurong to explain what he wanted to do, but it's not easy to say it directly!

Could it be that he directly said that he wanted to be the emperor?

"Hey, Gao Huan and others are urging me to establish myself as emperor, and kill Yuan Ziyou, Luoyang Yuan clan, and their trusted courtiers.

I'm still considering it. "

Er Zhurong moved Gao Huan out with some guilt.

"Governor Governor, I have something in my heart, I don't know if I should say it or not." Liu Yishou said seriously.

Generally, when people say this kind of thing, the listener will definitely say "but it's okay to say it", otherwise how can the dialogue continue?You swollen my face, and I'm kneeling to lick your shoes?

It's like a penguin went half a circle around the earth and went to play with a polar bear. The polar bear said: I don't want to play with you.Then the penguin made another half circle around the earth and returned to the South Pole.

Isn't this funny?
"You are my confidant, so just say what you have to say, and no third person will know about it."

Er Zhurong promised with a strong oath.

Liu Yishou suddenly remembered that the other party had told him about Gao Huan's persuasion to establish himself as emperor just now, and felt that Er Zhurong was absolutely unreliable with a big mouth!
The other party just listened to what he said.

He sighed softly and said, "The governor's troops are no more than 2, or [-]. From Jinyang to Luoyang, they pass through the key points of the East River and the important town of Heqiao.

With such a force, how can the governor be able to overcome all obstacles and enter Luoyang today? "

Liu Yishou asked Er Zhurong a soul-torturing question.

You are just a senior member of the border town, what qualifications do you have to aspire to Luoyang, what do you rely on?In terms of the strength of soldiers and horses, you are far inferior to Dong Zhuo back then!

Er Zhurong was at a loss for words for a while.

"so what?"

he asked a little unsure.

"The governor is the father-in-law of the late emperor, avenging his son-in-law, finding out the truth about the death of the emperor at a young age, and punishing the real culprit who murdered the emperor. !
So even if Empress Dowager Hu has millions of soldiers, those people are secretly facing you in private.It's not so much that the governor led the troops all the way to fight, it's better to say that the forces from all over the country were worried about the Queen Mother Hu's perverse actions and deliberately let the governor open a way.

The governor was able to walk to the city of Luoyang not by weapons, but by the support of the people. "

This is really good, and Er Zhurong couldn't refute it.

Er Zhurong led troops across the border, almost without committing any crime.Of course, this does not mean that they are teachers of benevolence and righteousness and mighty teachers.It's because... most of the wealth in the Northern Wei Dynasty was in Luoyang, so what could they grab in the rural areas along the road?
Not only will it ruin your reputation, but you won't get any benefits.

Liu Yishou vaguely pointed out the biggest problem Er Zhurong is facing now: Public anger is hard to offend!
"Governor, the first thing to do now is to liquidate Queen Mother Hu and her cronies.

Use the looted wealth, vacant official positions, and confiscated fields and houses to reward the soldiers under your command, expand the army and prepare for war.

After the autumn harvest, when the food and grass are ready, the army will march northward to defeat Ge Rong, a confidant, and regain the land of Hebei.In this way, the governor can completely control Wei's military and political power.

Will there be Yuan Ziyou by then, does it matter? "

It seems to make sense.

Er Zhurong nodded silently. Although he still had other thoughts in his mind, it was undeniable that Gao Huan's suggestions were too radical.What Liu Yishou was talking about was the reality before his eyes. No matter what he wanted to do, at least he had to deal with the internal affairs of Luoyang first, and then he could do things after he established his prestige.

"In your opinion, what should I do next?"

Speaking of this, Er Zhurong didn't want to listen to those rhetoric, he wanted to know the specific strategy.

"Your Majesty will lead my newly formed headquarters to escort Yuan Ziyou to Luoyang. Of course, if something happens to him, that would be great. The governor can lead troops to wash Luoyang in the name of Yuan Ziyou's revenge. No one can say no." What will come out. But this possibility is almost impossible.

Yuan Ziyou will definitely form a guard, so don't bother him.Luoyang's arsenal is located in Baichilou and Jinyong City in the northwest corner of the city. He Bayue was ordered to lead two thousand troops to occupy this place to protect the arsenal from being used by those who want to.

And this group of soldiers and horses are always in the city to support the subordinates to do things.

At the same time, a martial law order was promulgated. In each workshop, self-organized personnel are responsible for security, but they are not allowed to leave the workshop!If someone gathers a crowd to make trouble in the city, it will be dealt with by Queen Mother Hu's party, and the emperor is not allowed to leave the palace.If it is found that the emperor is out of the palace, everyone in the palace will be executed. "

After lying down, what Liu Yishou said made Er Zhurong dumbfounded.If it really happened like this, wouldn't Luoyang seem to be in shock?

"Master Liu...wouldn't this be too troublesome?"

"I haven't finished yet."

"At this point, I will have a good talk with the nobles of the aristocratic families in Luoyang and ask them to come up with a list."

Liu Yishou said with a smile.

"A list?"

Er Zhurong understood.

"It's the list of Queen Mother Hu's followers. We haven't figured out how the emperor died. Queen Mother Hu can't do such a thing alone. She should have followers, or even have many followers, right?

Should we let these nobles of Luoyang check it out first?When they find out, they can ask Yuan Ziyou to hold a court meeting to deal with these people, right? "

There were many things that didn't need to be said too clearly, Er Zhurong instantly understood what Liu Yishou was going to do.

Everyone is in Luoyang, how do you know who is the party member of Queen Mother Hu and who is not the party member of Queen Mother Hu?

I also saw you having a secret conversation with Queen Mother Hu in the palace that day, why didn't you?

So there is no hard and fast standard for this kind of thing, it is quite subjective.

Whether it is true or not, it all depends on one thought, the key lies in whose thought it is, whether it is Yuan Ziyou's or Er Zhurong's.

For a palace guard leader like Yu Jin, you can also say that he is a cronies of the Empress Dowager Hu, so he should be pushed out and killed, right?But why is he living so well now?

"Wonderful!"

Er Zhurong sighed with emotion.

Gao Huan is like those people who watch the excitement and are not afraid of big things.

It’s like someone wants to jump off a building, but they are still yelling behind their backs: You jump, why don’t you jump, there is sandy ground below, you won’t fall to your death if you jump, and it will be on the news, if you jump, you will be famous, why not do it, Jump up, we're all pulling out our phones and getting ready to take a video of you.

At this moment, Er Zhurong thought of what Gao Huan said to him, and pondered over the specific steps Liu Yishou said. It was clear at a glance who was capable and who liked to play tricks.

If it wasn't for the fact that the Six Towns were too powerful to move lightly, Er Zhurong would have wanted to go back and kill Gao Huan right now!
"The governor, the morale of the army, the merits of food and payment, I can help the governor to solve these after entering Luoyang. The only thing is, don't kill! I dare to say that as long as I let the subordinate control the power of life and death, the custody will satisfy the governor and return .

At that time, if the governor is not satisfied, he can cut it down, and then he can do whatever he wants. "

Is that so?
After thinking about it, Er Zhurong nodded slightly and said, "Follow me."

Liu Yishou followed Er Zhurong to the other's bedroom.

"I will lend you this sword, and return it to me after you use it up."

Er Zhurong handed Liu Yishou a gorgeous saber with a scabbard inlaid with precious stones.

"This sword was one of the betrothal gifts of the late emperor (Yuan Xu), and I lent it to you now as a token that can command the three armies."

Er Zhurong patted Liu Yishou on the shoulder, and said earnestly: "Don't let me down. After the matter is done, I have a big gift for you, and I will never treat you badly."

"Could this be the legendary Shangfang sword?"

Liu Yishou muttered to himself.

"Hahahahahaha, this is a good name, so I will call it Shangfang Baojian from now on.

I have always felt that this sword is quite hypocritical, more than gaudy, but not brave enough.It's called Shangfang Sword, and I hope it can be used to its full potential. "

Er Zhurong said meaningfully.

Be good, I'm going to walk sideways in Luoyang, Liu Yishou is secretly happy.

"Great Governor, please also write a military order in hand, and cooperate with this sword, so that the humble officer can rest assured."

What Liu Yishou implied was that Gao Huan and his gang would not buy into themselves, if there was no military order issued by Er Zhurong himself.

"That's right, then wait a moment."

Er Zhurong had literature and ink in his bedroom, and he quickly wrote a military order and handed it to Liu Yishou, which said very simply, that is, after the army entered Luoyang, Liu Yishou would be responsible for the overall planning and arrangement of all affairs, and if there were no special circumstances, just act according to the other party’s orders. OK.

"Please don't worry, the governor, what you can get by robbing and killing people, you can get it for you by means. What you can't get by robbing and killing people, you can get it for you."

"Go, don't say much, I believe in you!"

Er Zhurong waved his hand and said boldly.

After Liu Yishou left, his complexion became gloomy.

"He Liuhun (Gao Huan) is indeed a wolf with ambition. All the generals say that you can't be called emperor, but he is the only one who strongly advocates me to be called emperor.

Is it because he can get more benefits after I become emperor... or do I want to replace it? "

Gao Huan was so ambitious that he didn't run away, but the question is, did Gao Huan say that because he wanted to stand out, or did he want to kill Er Zhurong by saying that?

The subordinates advised him to ascend the throne, but in fact, as the lord, it is inconvenient to "settle accounts after autumn", because it will have a very bad demonstration effect.You have killed all the people who actively promoted you to become emperor, so one day when you really want to become emperor, who will come to help you?
Finding that something was wrong with Gao Huan, Er Zhurong hesitated for a while, not knowing how to deal with this person.

But does Liu Yishou have selfish motives?It's hard to say, because he is obviously closer to He Bayue, and He Bayue and Gao Huan are deadly enemies.

He may not be dissatisfied with himself, but it doesn't mean that he doesn't want to give Gao Huan eye drops.

"Hey, tigers and leopards are unbearable to ride, people's hearts are in the belly."

Er Zhurong let out a long sigh, his ability was only on the battlefield.Once you leave the battlefield and enter the political struggle without gunpowder, it is time to play tricks.

It's a little weak.

"The Erzhu family really lacks a smart head."

Er Zhurong muttered to himself.
