Governor please stay

Chapter 521 An Old Friend Meets an Old Friend With a Fist in the Back

"My lord, the one just now was..."

Lou Zhaojun had already left, and Yang Zhong couldn't help asking when he saw Liu Yishou, who was neatly dressed but with some wet marks on his shoulders.

He originally thought that the two of them would have a violent fight in the military tent, but he didn't expect Lou Zhaojun to drift away after a while, like a ghost.

"That's He Liuhun's wife, Lou Zhaojun."

Liu Yishou said nonchalantly, staring at the lights in the camp.

"Oh, that's okay, it's just He Liuhun's wife..."

Yang Zhong heaved a sigh of relief, and felt something was wrong while talking. Why does the name He Liuhun sound so familiar?

"My lord, isn't He Liuhun just...Gao Huan?"

Yang Zhong was shocked. He never expected that Gao Huan's wife would come to Baimadu late at night to meet Liu Yishou for a private meeting.This melon is really too big, he has to call Yang Xiuzhi to eat it together.

It is estimated that they will eat melons until they are full!

"Yes, it's Gao Huan from Yecheng."

Liu Yishou sighed softly and said, although there was a desire to complain in his heart, he didn't want to publicize the romantic debt back then.

Seeing Yang Zhong's searching look, Liu Yishou pulled him to a secluded corner, and asked in a deep voice, "Lou Zhaojun came here in the hope that I could lead the troops to help Gao Huan out of his predicament. Of course, she wants to dedicate herself to me. , but I declined.

Do you think what Lou Zhaojun said can be done? "

Do I still need to ask?Of course it can't...it seems to be possible!

Yang Zhong suddenly realized why Liu Yishou wanted to discuss with him.Although Lou Zhaojun's attitude is very low, this matter is profitable for both parties.

This time Gao Huan's vitality was seriously injured. If he didn't save him, He Bayue would definitely unify the north.Taking advantage of this opportunity, perhaps Liang Guo can still reap some benefits by tearing off a piece of meat from the corpse of Gao Huan's forces to enjoy.

However, after He Bayue integrated the forces in Hebei, he was bound to recover the lost ground, drive Liang Guo's forces back to Lianghuai, and even hit the Yangtze River in one go.

This is obviously quite unfavorable for the ambitious Liu Yishou!

Liu Yishou's strategy for the north has always been to weaken all parties in the balance, and rebalance after weakening!

For example, if there are two adjacent families in the village, one family eats meat every day, and the other family can only eat grain every day.Then Liu Yishou, as an external interference force, will suppress the family that eats meat, making his family only eat food like the next door!
In this way a new balance is reached.

If in the future, because of Liu Yishou's attack, this family can't even eat food and can only eat porridge, then Liu Yishou will deal with the other family that eats food every day, so that they will also eat porridge every day.This keeps the balance.

Now that Gao Huan has become weaker due to various blows, and He Bayue has become a strong man, then of course Liu Yishou would not mind helping Gao Huan to make He Bayue weaker too!

This is the basis for Lou Zhaojun's trip to achieve his goal. Without this basis, no matter how much Lou Zhaojun pleads or seduces, Liu Yishou will not waver or compromise.

Yang Zhong obviously wanted to understand this truth.

"My lord wants to take back the troops at Baimadu, so that Gao Huan can concentrate his troops without any worries. On the other hand, we will enter Hulao Pass and make a fuss in the east of Luoyang to attract He Bayue's attention. It made him unable to deal with Gao Huan with all his strength.

Is this what the lord intends? "

Yang Zhong asked in a low voice.

"In general, this is the case, but there are still some details that need to be scrutinized.

If we enter the game too early and attract He Bayue's attention in advance, it will cause unnecessary losses instead.In the same way, if Gao Huan entered the game too early, Gao Huan still has a lot of stamina. Even if we beat He Bayue, will Gao Huan take advantage of our lack of men and horses to kill the Yellow River and chase all the way? "

Liu Yishou asked with a smile.

Yang Zhong sighed: "Obviously so, such a rescue is a big taboo for military strategists."

"But we entered the game too late, and Gao Huan's main force had already been wiped out. At that time, the people in Hebei had changed their minds, and He Bayue had all of them in his pocket. If he turned his spearhead to deal with us, I'm afraid it would be difficult for us to shake his power." Advantage.

Therefore, entering the game cannot be too early, nor can it be too late.We have to wait until Gao Huan and He Bayue are going to put all their eggs in one basket, or even start to do it, before we give He Bayue a crucial stab from behind.

After stabbing this knife, we can withdraw calmly, the mission of the Northern Expedition is completely completed, and we will return to Jiankang to reward our achievements. "

Liu Yishou talked eloquently, these ideas didn't seem to have been thought up on the spur of the moment, and I'm afraid they have been deliberating for a long time.

"My lord, didn't you think so far before this Northern Expedition?"

Yang Zhong asked in disbelief.

"Hahahaha, how is that possible? It was Lou Zhaojun who asked me that I had a similar idea."

Liu Yishou laughed casually, but his explanation obviously couldn't dispel Yang Zhong's doubts. On the contrary, the latter felt that Liu Yishou was scheming and had already made preparations very early.

"Since Lou Zhaojun is here, don't lose face to her. Tonight we will set up camp and go back to Xingyang to recuperate. You have worked hard this trip."

Liu Yishou stretched his waist and said.

Yang Zhong almost spat out a mouthful of old blood.

Their achievements in the Northern Expedition only lie in Yang Xiuzhi's Northern Expedition Minutes, and the rest are taken out to travel in the mountains and rivers, or to show off their might to frighten the enemy. What kind of hard work!

"Order!"

Yang Zhong bowed his hands and saluted. After walking a few steps, he turned around and asked in a low voice, "My lord, Gao Huan's wife, Lou Zhaojun, is the jewel of the rich family in the Northland. Her identity is not simple. The meat delivered to my mouth, Why don't you have a taste? It's just for fun, we are about to enter the Hulao Pass, and we will encounter some swords and swords.

It's human nature to collect some interest from He Liuhun.This has been the rule since ancient times. "

As a confidant general, it is very necessary to have some private conversations with the lord, and this is also the "cheat book" that Yang Zhong learned from Yang Xiuzhi.

"Even without defeating He Bayue, I thought about collecting interest first. Doing it like this will ruin your reputation, which is not advisable.

I am also the King of Wu in the Kingdom of Liang now, with one man under one man and ten thousand men above him.You have to take care of your face when you do things, and you have to pay attention to how you eat when you eat.

Do you really think I've never seen a beauty? "

Liu Yishou sneered, and waved his hands indifferently.Lou Zhaojun is a woman whose eyes are above the top, and she is ready to be humiliated when she comes here.You bark happily in front of her like a male dog in heat, she doesn't know how much she despises you in her heart.

Only when a person takes himself seriously, will others take you seriously. This is the self-esteem of the self-respecting person.Liu Yishou would not lower his status to get his hands on Lou Zhaojun in a situation like tonight.

Let alone Lou Zhaojun, Liu Yishou would not do anything to any other woman who came to intercede.

"It's Meng Lang, the last general. Capital punishment, capital punishment."

After flattering and flattering, Yang Zhong resigned ashamedly, feeling secretly in his heart.

Going into battle to kill the enemy is a technical job, and flattering is also a technical job.Looking at Yang Xiuzhi's slap, it seems that flattering is very simple, but using the opponent's skills, he can't do it well.

This kind of thing can be regarded as "technique close to Tao".

……

One day later, Liu Yishou returned to Xingyang with [-] fine cavalry, and joined forces with Ma Fo-nian and others.When it was learned that Liu Yishou led troops across the Yellow River outside Chen Bingye City, the other generals who did not go were not without envy, and at the same time felt that Liu Yishou was really a great husband who used soldiers like a god.

This kind of mind and courage is not inferior to that of Chen Qingzhi back then, even more so in terms of courage.

That's what Ma Fo-nian thinks.

All the generals gathered together, Liu Yishou was not polite and called everyone together for a meeting.There was only one topic for the meeting, and that was where the biggest weakness of He Bayue's army, which made a strong raid from Guanzhong, was.

"His Royal Highness King Wu, this matter is actually complicated, and I can't explain it clearly in a few words, but it is simple to say."

Ma Fonian said with a smile: "No matter how strong the people in Guanzhong are, their lack of food is a sure thing, and they are going out of Guanzhong to compete for food and grain production land. So they definitely don't have much food, let alone after repeated wars. The grain and grass left over."

These words hit the nail on the head, blocking back what Liu Yishou wanted to say later.

Ma Fo-nian and others followed Chen Qingzhi through life and death, obviously they would not be ignorant reckless men.The battle line of He Bayue's army was too long, and the supplies from Guanzhong must be a drop in the bucket.

In that case, where would their supplies and fodder come from?
The answer is that the rich households and aristocratic families in Luoyang City, large and small, are supplying He Bayue's army with food and grass.Of course, it doesn't matter whether they took the initiative to hand over the food, or He Bayue's people went through the streets to rob.

The important thing is that He Bayue's only source of food and grass now is Luoyang City, there is no second option!
So from the perspective of the general situation, the longer the delay, the more favorable the situation will be for Gao Huan!

Because Luoyang's grain storage is limited, while Hebei is "living water", as long as it is delayed until the autumn harvest, Gao Huan will be resurrected with blood on the spot.Leaving aside the issue of replenishment of soldiers, the food and grass are provided openly.

As for Luoyang, which is a war zone, there is no need to count on this year's new grain. He Bayue will not receive a single grain in autumn.

"At the most critical moment when Gao Huan and He Bayue were fighting, it was necessary for us to go to Luoyang and destroy He Bayue's granary. As long as the food and grass were cut off, the soldiers and horses in Guanzhong would retreat, and there was no need for us to follow up strictly. They will fight to the death. At that time, Gao Huan will beat the dog in the water."

Liu Yishou said with a smile.

"My lord, we don't have much food, we have to wait for General Yu Jin to send us food."

Yang Xiuzhi couldn't help reminding.

What he said is true, but many situations should be viewed in the context of the overall situation.If Gao Huan or He Bayue concentrated their forces to attack Xingyang, then food and grass would indeed be tight, and the supply line would be in danger of being cut off.

But now that Gao Huan and He Bayue's soldiers and horses have been beaten out of their minds, who cares about Liu Yishou who seems to be "harmless to humans and animals" in Xingyang.

"Okay, that's it. The teams will reorganize in Xingyang City and select a thousand death squads. Entering Luoyang is not suitable for fanfare, and it will easily alert He Bayue. What we want to do is sneak attack and hit with one hit. Send more Tanma went to Luoyang to check the situation."

Liu Yishou felt that He Bayue might have overlooked one thing.

Of course, many young people in Luoyang City don't like the domineering Gao Huan, nor do they like Liu Yishou who supports the puppet.

But they may not like He Bayue, a countryman from Guanzhong!

It may be difficult to inquire about the location of the grain and fodder of He Bayue's army in Guanzhong.But in Luoyang, it will definitely not be too troublesome to inquire about their grain storage locations.

There are so many wall grasses in Luoyang City!
After the crowd dispersed, one of Liu Yishou's personal guards hurried in and whispered in his ear for a long time.

"Well, let them wait in the yard, and bring them to my study to meet later. I'll come as I go."

Liu Yishou explained in a low voice, and left the hall of the government office.I made a big circle around Xingyang City and inspected it.It wasn't until evening that he returned to the study in the backyard of the mansion, accompanied by his own soldiers.

Soon, two people, a man and a woman, were brought in front of them by the soldiers.

This woman should be called a girl more appropriately, she was carved out of the same mold as Lou Zhaojun when she was young, but the expression on her face was rather tense, but her eyes looked around curiously.Although thin, he was tall, only a little shorter than Liu Yishou, and taller than all his concubines.

The man is dressed like a general, and his face is similar to Lou Zhaojun's. He is slightly fat and not too tall. He looks mediocre and has no characteristics.However, he stared at Liu Yishou intently, his shocked expression seemed uncontrollable.

"The two are..."

Liu Yishou murmured, and the man quickly replied: "I am Lou Zhaojun's younger brother, Lou Zhao, and this is her eldest daughter, Gao Ling. She is a poor person, widowed at a young age. Now the war is fierce and dangerous, Yecheng It's at stake, my sister hopes Liu Dudu can take care of him.

If Liang Jun returns to the south of the Yangtze River, he will take her there to enjoy the scenery of the south of the Yangtze River without sending her back to Yecheng. "

Lou Zhao lowered his head and said, only feeling his cheeks burning.Liu Yishou's substantial gaze cut lines across his face like a knife.

The translation of what he said just now is: We beg you to do something, you are very polite, and I will send you a daughter first.It doesn't matter whether it is successful or not, what is sent out will never be returned.

Gao Ling also looked at Lou Zhao with a look of astonishment. Obviously, what the other party told her before coming here was by no means the version just now.

"Little lady, go to the yard and ask the guard if the food is ready. I have something to discuss with your uncle."

Liu Yishou smiled slightly at Gao Ling, but the other party didn't seem to expect his good looks to be so good, and was stunned for a moment, watching intently.It took a long time to come back to his senses, and then obediently exited the study.

"I have already promised your sister that I will cooperate with you this time and give Gao Huan some support. What do you mean by sending a little lady here?"

Liu Yishou asked curiously, not understanding what Lou Zhaojun was thinking.Could it be that he is such a dishonest person?

"My sister said that if you ask someone to do something, you can treat them with sincerity. It's one thing for Dudu Liu to be willing to contribute, but it's another thing for Lou's family to trust Dudu Liu.

There is no proof, there is nothing wrong with Liu Dudu failing the Lou family.If there is evidence, Liu Dudu will never die if he fails the Lou family.That's what my sister said. "

Lou Zhao said a little discouraged.

Liu Yishou understood.

You say you are a good person and you want to be a good person, but others may not dare to regard you as a good person.

It's akin to paying for peace of mind.Lou Zhaojun is really impeccable in his work. Since he didn't "feed the tiger with his body", he must throw a piece of meat to the tiger to appease the tiger.

Otherwise, who knows if the tiger will change his mind temporarily and start eating people?

Sure enough, Lou Zhaojun is still the same Lou Zhaojun, there may be a moment of softness, but most of the calm-headed moments are as hard-hearted as ever.

"Go back and tell your sister that I, Liu, spit on each other and nail each other. I will definitely do what I promised. You can take him back."

Liu Yishou waved his hand and said.

"Does Liu Dudu think that if Gao Ling comes and goes back, it will be fine?"

Lou Zhao asked quietly.

Liu Yishou was speechless.Obviously, if things go wrong, Lou Zhaojun is bound to take revenge on Gao Ling and Lou Zhao, and neither of them will be in good hands, especially Gao Ling, whose husband is dead.

"Then leave the person behind."

Liu Yishou sighed, nodded slightly and said.

"Liu Dudu, I have a personal question to ask, not my sister's."

Lou Zhao's face was strange, he stared at Liu Yishou, lowered his voice and asked, "Why does Gao Lang, the son of King Gao, look so similar to the governor?"

After he finished asking, the study was so quiet that only the breathing of the two could be heard.
