Governor please stay

Chapter 527 Winning the Battle, Losing Life
This moment is just like that moment, time seems to go back to the era when Er Zhurong burned, killed and looted here.

Luoyang City is not only in chaos in the abandoned Luoyang Palace, not only in the palace hoarding food and grass, but also the palace is full of smoke and flames, and there are also private troops from unknown families sneaking around and attacking the pitifully small number of defenders!

Ma Fonian's team were just tigers mixed in with the wild boars.

After He Bayue came to Luoyang, the worst thing he did was that his attitude towards the big local households in Luoyang was not clear enough, and his methods were not decisive enough.

To be gentle, you have to come up with real benefits, at least a written promise in black and white.

If you want to suppress, don't be hesitant. You must use the knife in and out quickly, cut the weeds and root them out, and kill them all.

And He Bayue's method is to rob other people's property without killing them all.There is a saying that if money is gone and people are still there, wouldn't it be the greatest tragedy in the world?

You have made others sad, and it is understandable for others to see the opportunity to fight back, right?
It has to be said that as much retreat as a person has, he will have as much confidence.After receiving Liu Yishou's written guarantee that those who were willing to leave after the war would be properly resettled in the surrounding areas of Liang Guojiankang, these wealthy families in Luoyang City unleashed the hostility accumulated over the years.

Nobody thinks highly of them, treats them like dogs.Throw the heel bone when you need it, and kick it away when you don't need it.

Er Zhurong came to kill a wave, Gao Huan came to kill a wave, and He Bayue still wanted to kill a wave when he came, but it was not convenient to do it now.

In fact, before that, Liu Yishou didn't take them seriously.But after learning that He Bayue's men were still looting in the Luoyang area, he made up his mind.

When Wei Xiaobang led the rescuers to the front of the dilapidated Luoyang Palace, there was a commotion inside, people fighting fires, people grabbing food, and even people who were not from their own army but fished in troubled waters.

As for the "righteous master" who set the fire, he had long since disappeared.

"what happened?"

Wei Xiaokuan stared at one of the governors stationed here on rotation and asked, the man in front of him was already trembling with fright, his face was pale, and beads of sweat kept dripping from his forehead.

He knew that he would definitely not survive now, even if Wei Xiaokuan didn't kill him, He Bayue would.

"Just now, private troops from the city came from several directions to grab grain, and the last general asked his brothers to stop them. After chasing them, for some reason, the granary started to burn, as if they had used heavy kerosene... "

The defenders stationed at Luoyang Palace should be full of 500 people.But because of the urgency of the battle ahead, He Bayue sent troops to garrison many cities, so the troops were continuously transferred to the front line.

The broken walls and ruins in Luoyang Palace could not be lived in. Teams of ten people were arranged in the main roads that needed to be guarded, mainly to prevent the residents of the city from coming to steal military rations.

The already small number of troops could not be used in a concentrated manner, and they were attracted to other places by the chaotic miscellaneous fish, so air leakage was inevitable.

As soon as Wei Xiaokuan heard it, he knew that the big family in Luoyang City had colluded with Gao Huan's people!

After he arranged for his men to put out the fire, he took his staff member Xin Daoxian to a secluded place to discuss countermeasures.

"In your opinion, how should we deal with the current situation?"

Wei Xiaokuan asked in a deep voice.

He didn't think of any remedial measures at all, Luoyang's grain and grass would definitely not be saved.With the strength he currently has in hand, it is enough to control Luoyang City, and it is already a great achievement to be able to guard the pitiful food and grass in Jinyong City.

To completely control this dilapidated city of Luoyang, at least 5000 people are needed.And now he has less than 1000 soldiers and horses in his hands. What can these people do?
"General Wei, in my opinion, it is better to go to Liang Guo to find Liu Yishou. Run away."

Xin Daoxian said calmly.

"Uh……"

Wei Xiaokuan was silent and did not express his opinion.But sometimes not expressing a position is an attitude in itself, Xin Daoxian didn't say much, just waiting for the other party's answer.

"My family is in Chang'an, if I defect, what will they do?"

Wei Xiaokuan sighed.

"General Wei, the granary is on fire, and Gao Huan's army will fight back desperately. Knowing that there is no food in the army, the army will undoubtedly be defeated. Afterwards, Governor Heba must punish the culprit.

Whoever owns the granary is responsible for the accident. General Wei should have made plans earlier. "

Xin Daoxian sighed, he is Wei Xiaokuan's aide, but not He Bayue's confidant, so naturally he has to look at the problem from Wei Xiaokuan's perspective.To be serious, Wei Xiaokuan being used by He Bayue to sacrifice the flag this time is one of the possible options.

If Wei Xiaokuan didn't think more about himself, he would be a bit foolish and loyal.

"Well, later, you will take my secret letter and ride alone to see Commander Heba, and then hand the letter to him without making a fuss about it.

The destruction of the granary can only be concealed for a day, so Commander He Ba must concentrate his troops on the north bank to quickly attack Yewang City!If it can be overcome, it may save the crisis.

If it cannot be captured, it will not exceed three days at most, and the army will retreat separately with the river bridge as the boundary.The trilogy to the north of Heqiao went west to Zhiguan and entered Hedong, and asked for grain from the Hedong family.The trilogy south of the river bridge goes to Tongguan, and there is still some food and grass in Jinyong City to support it.

The soldiers retreated to Guanzhong in two ways, and then joined in Chang'an. "

Xin Daoxian looked at Wei Xiaokuan with strange eyes, and asked in a low voice after a long time: "The general is only looking for work, not personal life, how can you think of a family? If I am the governor of He Ba, the first thing is to order General Wei to be locked up and wait for him Go back to the customs and wait for the situation.

At that time, people will use knives and I will serve as fish, so what can I do? "

"Go, don't talk too much. Commander Heba is kind to me."

Wei Xiaokuan sighed softly and waved his hands helplessly, signaling Xin Daoxian to stop talking.

As long as you come out to play around these days, you have to pay attention to your own "personality".Running away is not impossible, but running away because of the destruction of food and grass will not be cleaned up even if you jump into the Yellow River.

Wei Xiaokuan felt that he could still save him.

"So, take care, General Na Wei."

Xin Daoxian also let out a long sigh, not knowing what to say.

……

Starting from yesterday, He Bayue's army began to storm Yewang City, attacking the city regardless of casualties, which immediately put Gao Huan under great pressure.Gao Huan himself had put on his armor and went to the top of the city to direct the decisive battle.

Yewang City was one of the key nodes where South Korea prevented Qin from leaving the Shangdang main road at the end of the Warring States Period. The city was very high.

Although the size is not good, it is very suitable for defense.

This kind of fortified city, brutal attack is very undesirable.On the contrary, like He Bayue's previous response, it was more appropriate to cut off the waterway first and then the land way.

So Gao Huan couldn't figure out what He Bayue was thinking for a while.

Caught off guard last night, the west wall without a moat was almost broken. It was Modolou Wenwen who arrived in time with the reserve team, and finally drove He Bayue's men off the wall.

But I also suffered heavy losses on my side, Modolo was seriously injured, and now I can't get out of bed.

"Xiaoxian, something is wrong."

On the tower, Gao Huan looked at He Bayue's army outside the city who was temporarily repairing, and asked Duan Shao beside him suspiciously.

"Back to King Gao, the last general also felt that the situation was a bit abnormal. This wave of He Bayue's attack on the city came too strangely."

Duan Shao clasped his hands and saluted, and continued: "When the last general plundered He Bayue's army's food and grass, he found that the opponent's soldiers were exhausted and slow to respond, and every time they responded, they were a beat slower.

It is very unwise to rush to attack the city now.It is possible that a major incident happened to He Bayue's army, so he was very anxious to capture Yewang City. "

Duan Shao's analysis was clear, and Gao Huan couldn't help but nodded and said, "It makes sense, and I think so too."

Suddenly, a light boat floated on Qinshui, and a man on the boat with a sword in his waist was waving to the defenders on the city, signaling them to put down the hanging basket.

"Someone can break through the blockade on Qinshui and come here!"

Duan Shao was very surprised when he saw this person, he quickly asked someone to put down the hanging basket, and pulled the person up.

"Who are you, and what is your business in the city?"

As soon as he saw someone coming, Duan Shao couldn't help holding onto the hilt of his saber, because the opponent was rushing towards his face with vigor, like an assassin who could draw his sword to kill at any time.

"It alarmed the general."

The man handed the sword to the soldiers beside him, and then bowed his hands to Duan Shao to salute.

"My lord, Dai Zigao, has been sent by King Wu of Liang, and is here to offer King Gao a strategy to defeat the enemy."

Dai Zigao said neither humble nor overbearing.

The term "neither humble nor arrogant" is very interesting. It seems to be impartial, but if you are not humble when you should be humble, isn't that "high"?

Although I have never heard of this person's name, Liu Yishou can be said to be the shadow of a famous tree, so you won't be able to accept it.Duan Shao also saluted and said, "This way please."

He brought Dai Zigao in front of Gao Huan, muttered a bit and stepped back.Gao Huan stepped forward, looked into Dai Zigao's eyes, and asked impatiently, "What advice does King Wu have?"

Gao Huan is now in a predicament, and Liu Yishou is also one of the culprits. Now he hears this name and he is furious.

For the people Liu Yishou sent, he had natural resistance. As for other personal grievances, there were so many that he didn't want to mention them.

"Knowing that the fierce battle between King Gao and the soldiers and horses in Guanzhong was unfavorable, he fell into a difficult situation. My lord came here specially to relieve King Gao's worries. It is useless to talk more, and you will know when you see the letter."

Dai Zigao took out a sealed letter from his pocket, and handed it to Gao Huan with both hands.

Upon hearing this, Gao Huan's anger, which had been suppressed with great difficulty, flared up again.

Fortunately, Gao Huan is very self-cultivated and quite a man of the city.He took the letter with a smile on his face, and waved his hand lightly, signaling Duan Shao and Dai Zigao to back down.

"Let me take my leave." Dai Zigao bowed deeply to Gao Huan, turned around and left, and was let down by the city wall.

"Hmph, it's still worry-free, putting on airs."

Gao Huan hummed twice, pretending to be nonchalant, and opened the letter with trembling hands.

After reading the first sentence, his pupils suddenly shrank.

Because this is not Liu Yishou's handwriting, or he recognized whose handwriting it is.

The more you look at it, the more exciting the expression on Gao Huan's face becomes.

Excitement, sadness, embarrassment, and anger, all kinds of expressions alternated on his face.Mood ups and downs.

"Oh! Shuzi should be killed!"

Gao Huan let out a long sigh, and was about to tear up the letter, when he suddenly thought of something important, he carefully put it back into the envelope, put it in his arms and put it close to his body.

"I didn't expect that I, Gao, would be reduced to this point, and I would need my daughter to feed a tiger to save me. It's sad, sad, and ridiculous."

He slammed his fist on the city wall, but he accepted the "pretty food" that Liu Yishou sent, but he accepted it with shame, without being so pretentious as to twist it on purpose.

After all, it was an opportunity for my daughter to sell herself.He didn't dare to think about that scene.

If he didn't make good use of this opportunity to defeat He Bayue, wouldn't his daughter's sacrifice be in vain?

As for Lou Zhaojun, after the battle is over, Gao Huan will go back to Yecheng and have a good talk with him.

If Lou Zhaojun can't give a plausible excuse, he won't mind turning his face once after they have been married for so many years.

At this moment, Duan Shao hurried over and said to Gao Huan: "King Gao, He Bayue's people have started attacking the city again. Swords have no eyes. Please, King Gao, go down the tower."

Seeing Gao Huan standing still, Duan Shao was anxious to pull the other's arm.

"He Bayue won't be jumping around for a few days, can your strategy still work?"

Gao Huan turned his head to look at Duan Shao, his eyes were like lightning!Impressive!Duan Shao hadn't seen such an indomitable momentum in Gao Huan for a long time.

"Gao Wang said..."

"The Luoyang granary is on fire, and He Bayue is short of food!"

Gao Huan said word for word, even gnashing his teeth.

"King Gao, if this is the case...we just need to wait until He Bayue stops attacking the city! If He Bayue's army retreats, they will definitely go through the pass!
We followed all the way and beat the dog in the water! "

Duan Shao's heart was burning, and he wished he could rush out with Qingqi now.

"Don't worry, if I were He Bayue, before the oil ran out, I would pretend to retreat first, lay an ambush on the road, and retreat after a big victory over our army.

If you take 500 people to the upper reaches of Qinshui by water at night, and then lie in ambush at the Zhiguan pass, you don't have to worry about other things. "

Gao Huan said confidently.

If Liu Yishou wrote him a letter, he would definitely send someone to verify the authenticity of it.But the handwritten letter from his daughter Gao Ling, coupled with the abnormal performance of He Bayue's army, made Gao Huan believe that there was indeed a serious problem with He Bayue's army.

"Decree! The final general will definitely block the pass and prevent deserters from passing."

Duan Shao excitedly bowed his hands and left.

"Humph!"

Gao Huan looked at the soldiers of He Bayue who were climbing the city wall, and couldn't help but snort coldly.

"It's just chicken and tile dogs."

He looked at those climbing people coldly, his gaze was like looking at a dead person.

……

"This tea is to be boiled in a red clay pot. Break the tea bricks into pieces and wash them first, just like this."

In the study, Liu Yishou was showing Gao Ling how to make tea.

"Don't add those messy things in it. Those will only destroy the original taste. Be purer, bitter before sweet, this is tea.

Tea is tea, the simpler and purer it is. "

Gao Ling looked at Liu Yishou with a look of admiration and fascination, feeling that the other party seemed to be omnipotent.After all, she didn't drink tea like this at home before.

"It's ready, please."

Liu Yishou poured the greenish-yellow tea into a white porcelain bowl, picked it up with both hands and handed it to Gao Ling.

"Tea is very bitter. But it doesn't taste bitter when you brew it."

Gao Ling took a sip of tea, squinted her eyes and smiled.When he took the tea bowl, he couldn't help touching Liu Yishou's big hand.

She noticed that Liu Yishou was staring at her slender neck, which still had a lot of red marks on it, she lowered her head and blushed.

Finally became his woman last night, Gao Ling looked at Liu Yishou today and felt that she was extraordinarily handsome.When she remembered that she begged Liu Yishou to take possession of her body last night, she felt ashamed and flustered.

At that time, she was completely distracted and couldn't bear it. Fortunately, Liu Yishou was very gentle to her afterwards, and he didn't look complacent, nor did he laugh at her.

At this moment, Yang Xiu pushed open the study door excitedly, saluted Liu Yishou and said, "My lord, General Yang has brought people back, and the granary in Luoyang has been burned down!"

"Understood, I will go to the city gate to meet you."

Liu Yishou nodded calmly, as if it was just a trivial matter.
