Governor please stay

Chapter 563
"I sent a box of silver cakes, and you will return me a jar of ashes?"

In the study of the mansion in Shouyang City, Liu Yishou received Cui Ang, the envoy of the Eastern Wei Dynasty, who brought Lan Jing's ashes.

"It's just by weight, are you humiliating me?"

Liu Yishou stared at Cui Ang, and asked angrily.

If it wasn't for the fact that Cui Ang is Cui Xiaofen's nephew, Liu Yishou would have asked Yuan Shikang to push him out and behead him in protest.But maybe it was because of this that Gao Huan sent Cui Ang as an envoy to return Lan Jing's ashes, deliberately disgusting him.

"Liu Dudu, didn't you see that this is Gao Huan's plan to alienate..."

Cui Ang looked at Liu Yishou with a wry smile and said, if possible, he would definitely not want to take this trip.Cui Xiaofen was his uncle, the reason why he didn't join him was because Cui was "hedge his bet".

But Cui Ang is not stupid. Now Liu Yishou's development momentum is very good, and Cui's family keeps raising bets. If he offends the other party, he will definitely kill himself.

The matter of returning Lan Jing's ashes is in itself Gao Huan's fault. He kindly paid for the ransom, and you send back the urn in the end. Isn't that a slap in the face?
As the envoy who carried out this matter, Cui Ang felt that there was a high probability that he would be angered.I just feel that there is no light in the bleak life.

"It's alright, you go back and tell Gao Huan that the kindness you received today will be repaid a hundred times in the future, and you will repay it in the spring. Just bring the original words, and I won't make things difficult for you."

Liu Yishou said while suppressing his anger.

Cui Ang felt relieved, cupped his hands and confessed: "Thank you Governor Liu for your understanding, I, Cui Shi, will never forget it."

Liu Yishou waved his hand, too lazy to talk nonsense with him.Cui Ang then cautiously exited the study room. The cold wind outside the door made his back feel chilly.

After Cui Ang left, Liu Yishou looked at the simple white porcelain jar on the table, which contained Lan Jing's ashes, of course, it was only part of it, just for meaning.

"You and Gao Cheng died together, why bother? I thought you would bear it."

Liu Yishou sighed with emotion.

Cui Ang's family has a lot of relationship with him, not only a sister gave birth to him, but also many people worked under him, which made Liu Yishou unable to vent his temper against Cui Ang.

But Cui Ang was also a sensible person, and told Liu Yishou about Lan Jing's assassination of Gao Cheng in detail. This was definitely not Gao Huan's order.

From Liu Yishou's point of view, Lan Jing still had a chance to survive if he didn't act impulsively.

To be honest, it's really not worth it to exchange one with Gao Cheng's limit.Judging from Gao Cheng's high-profile and deadly behavior, he will die unexpectedly sooner or later.

One more Lan Jing is just to get on the road earlier.

"This matter is not easy to handle."

Liu Yishou frowned slightly, feeling uneasy in his heart.

Gao Huan's face-slapping can be considered crazy, but Liu Yishou is not easy to vent his anger on others, such as taking out his anger on Gao Ling, and it is difficult for him to regain his position in a short period of time, which is really hard to appease.

"That's all, He Liuhun, He Liuhun, let's make you proud for two days. This account will be settled with you sooner or later."

Liu Yishou now deeply feels that even if you hold great power, you don't actually get what you want, and many things are actually powerless. For example, Lan Jing didn't manage well.

Even if it's not his Liu someone's problem.

"It's going to be an uneasy life for a whole year!"

The day after tomorrow is New Year's Day, Liu Yishou was really disgusted by Gao Huan.Of course, it is not unusual for Gao Huan to take revenge.If he knew the specific situation of Gao Ling on his side, Gao Huan's anger would be even stronger.

Gao Ling's appearance of being happy and indulgent on the bed would make any father's blood pressure explode.Thinking of this, Liu Yishou felt guilty again.

After thinking about it carefully, he understood the other party a little bit.

However, this mood only lasted for less than half an hour before it was broken by another incident.

In the study room, Wang Wei, Chen Yuankang and others all looked solemn, looking at the human head in the wooden box on the desk case, speechless for a while.I don't know if Shouyang is a place where martial arts are too prosperous. Liu Yishou who celebrated the Chinese New Year either received an urn or a wooden box containing human heads, which has nothing to do with stability and harmony.

"Is this the genuine Xiao Yu?"

Liu Yishou asked, pointing to the heads on the table.

"That's right, the subordinates ordered people to confirm it repeatedly. After repeated verifications, it was confirmed that this is Xiao Yu's head. The Guangling Palace also said that Xiao Yu had been missing for a while."

Wang Wei also didn't know what to say.

Whether it's Liu Yishou or his subordinates who celebrate the New Year, no one intends to do such unsightly things.He didn't even think about what to do to Xiao Yu.

However, it happens that the sky fails to fulfill people's wishes. Those who deserve to die, those who want to die, can't live for more than one day!
"The end of the new year is approaching, and Xiao Yu from Guangling (Yangzhou) took a sea boat to go north on the pretext of going out to hunt. Because he was not familiar with the waterway, the boat ran aground on the coast of Beihai County, and he had to disembark and go north by land.

As a result, by coincidence, the group was caught by Yang Yaren, the prefect of Beihai County (Lianyungang) who was out of the city for inspection.

I don't know what Yang Yaren was thinking, he didn't report it, so he beheaded Xiao Yu directly, and then sent an official document back saying that Xiao Yu tried to defect to Wei State, and was beheaded while resisting arrest.

Everything, that's it..."

Wang Wei told Liu Yishou the whole story of Xiao Xi's murder.

All in all, the feudal lord expected that his own outcome might not be too good, and Liu Yishou would liquidate him sooner or later, so we respect you first!But I didn't expect that the sea boat would run aground, he would be caught by Yang Yaren, and the other party would kill him without any martial ethics!

If Yang Yaren had reported to Liu Yishou with one more word, Xiao Yu would have survived.

"Yang Yaren is really good at life."

Liu Yishou snorted twice and said, no joy or anger could be heard in his tone.

"My lord is right. If Yang Yaren sends Xiao Yu back, Xiao Yu's claim that he lost his way while hunting is justified, then Yang Yaren will be meddling in his own business.

Anyway, it is impossible for the lord to do anything to Xiao Yu, and in the end he had to be served and sent back to Guangling.Thinking about it, the lord would definitely blame Yang Yaren for being ignorant in his heart at that time.

Now Yang Yaren beheaded Xiao Yu easily, and the lord also saved the trouble of dealing with the disobedient vassal. He also expressed his loyalty to the lord by the way, and he will be liquidated in the future. Naturally, he will become one of his own. It's killing two birds with one stone. "

Wang Wei laughed and said, people's minds have changed, and many details can be seen.

Xiao Xi's misbehavior actually involved all the people in the same lineage as the former prince Xiao into big trouble.Xiao Yu's escape should be said to be a reasonable thing, but firstly, he was not lucky, and secondly, he did not take into account the change in people's hearts.

Yang Kan and Yang Yaren are both family members who came from the north and took refuge in Xiao Yan.It is obvious that Liu Yishou's rise to the position is of great benefit to these people.People from the Yang family have been excluded since they arrived in Jiangdong, and even when they become officials, they have to send money to Zhu Yi to get what they want.

How could they be grateful to the Xiao family!
Now Liu Yishou tends to take his place. How these people should stand in line is actually self-evident.It can only be said that if Xiao Yu hadn't run away, if his boat hadn't run aground, if what he had met hadn't been Yang Yaren...he might not have died tragically in the end.

"Time is fate, fate is fate, I really didn't intend to touch Xiao Yu, I can only say that he thinks too much."

Liu Yishou sighed softly, a little bit sorry for Xiao Yu, of course, this was also caused by the fake compassion of a cat crying for a mouse.

Wang Wei folded his sleeves and saluted.Just listen to Liu Yishou's words. If he didn't feel the icy cold, how could Xiao Yu take the risk?

It is precisely because Xiao Yu feels that staying in Liang State is very hopeless, he might as well rely on Gao Huan, and in the future he will lead the way to fight against Liu Yishou, so he will rush away without any preparation!
In the new year, there seems to be a breath of death coming. Wang Wei, Chen Yuankang and others all feel the pressure of the drastic changes in the world situation.

Whether it's Lan Jing or Xiao Yu, it doesn't matter where they are.Everyone understood that once the preparations were made, the Northern Expedition aimed at destroying the country would begin, and blood flowing into rivers would become the norm.

"My lord, during the Northern Expedition, we selected the best among the best in the army, and used a small number of the most elite soldiers as commandos, and the results were excellent. Now we can fix this part of the organization. With 500 people as a battalion, forming a few elite battalions will be enough." Can handle all kinds of emergencies.”

Chen Yuankang suggested to Liu Yishou, trying to dilute the uneasy atmosphere brought about by Xiao Yu's death.

"Well, yes, that's how the White Robe Army played back then."

Liu Yishou nodded slightly and said.

In history, the overall performance of Nanliang's army was very hip, but occasionally it performed brilliantly in small-scale battles. The organization and establishment of many troops at the grassroots level are good, and it is not completely worthless.

It is a very scientific approach to organize an elite unit with less than a thousand people and pass the feedback from existing actual combat.

"You should discuss this matter with Yang Zhong. We will draw elite soldiers from his trilogy to form two infantry battalions, recruit elite soldiers from the old Baipao troop to form a battalion, and recruit elite soldiers from Peng Le's cavalry team to form a battalion. Set up three infantry battalions and one riding battalion.

Whether it is food, salary or equipment, give the best, and only choose old brothers with families in Lianghuai. "

There is no doubt that these parts will be the sharp knife of the future Northern Expedition.

Chen Yuankang nodded slightly. With the fall of Xiao Yu and Xiao Yu, cutting off the power of the domestic vassal kings, and then taking back Luoyang in the Northern Expedition, is already the focus of the next step, and it is imperative to reorganize the elite trilogy.

At this moment, Yuan Shikang gently pushed the door open, handed a sealed bamboo tube to Liu Yishou and said, "My lord, something serious has happened. General Yuwen has sent a battle report."

What kind of battle is it for those who don't touch fish during the Chinese New Year?

Liu Yishou unwrapped the sealant with a strange face, blaming Yu Wentai for being a workaholic.

He read the battle report sent by Yuwentai's people at a glance, the more he read it, the more incredible he felt.

"My lord, what did the battle report say?"

Wang Wei asked suspiciously.

"It's hard to say, you can see for yourself."

Liu Yishou sighed softly, and passed the letter paper to Wang Wei and others.After everyone had finished watching, they looked at each other in blank dismay, feeling unbelievable, just like seeing a cat being beaten by a mouse.

The year is approaching, and big events are happening frequently!
Ever since Xiao Ying came to Guangzhou, she couldn't bear the hot and humid climate here, and her health has not been very good.Just at the end of last month, Xiao Ying caught a cold and died.

Although Chen Baxian was in charge of Xiao Ying's army, he was the other party's apparent subordinate.Once Xiao Ying died, the power of the Xiao clan in Guangzhou became unbalanced, and a new round of internal fighting began!

The old coin Xiao Bo contacted Chen Baxian, hoping that the other party would take refuge in him and send troops to attack Shaoguan together.When the time comes to support Xiao Gang, hold Guangzhou, Hengzhou, Xinzhou, and Chengzhou in his hands, and then threaten the Gaozhou, Yazhou, and Luozhou occupied by Mrs. Xian and Feng Bao, great things will happen!

I have to say that although Xiao Bo's suggestion is not feasible, it is indeed very attractive.These small states formed by Xiao Yan after the restructuring were almost equal to the land of a county. With so many counties added up, the land population is also very scary.

But this matter was learned by Xiao Tian, ​​Xiao Tian invited Chen Baxian to a banquet, intending to put poison on the banquet, poisoned Chen Baxian and his generals, and then annexed his army.It's just that the matter is not confidential, Chen Baxian found out in advance.

Chen Ba used his strategy first, on the surface he was going to a banquet, but in fact he took control of Panyu City quietly!
Knowing the defeat, Xiao Tian gathered up the remnants and fled Guangzhou, and came to Gaoyao County (Zhaoqing City) to defend the city!Not to be outdone, Chen Baxian directly supports Xiao Gang in his position, and uses Xiao Gang's banner to recruit and surrender!
What kind of person is Yu Wentai? Seeing the chaos in Guangzhou, he sent troops to join forces by sea and land to attack Yi'an County in Yingzhou (northeast of Shantou), and he was defeated in one battle.

Yuwentai, who fought smoothly, continued to attack Haifeng, Lianghua, and Zengcheng in the south, and the momentum was like a broken bamboo. The front of the soldiers had already reached dozens of miles east of Panyu City!
However, what Yu Wentai was fighting was a wave of disregard for logistics, and wanted to take advantage of the civil strife in Guangzhou to take advantage of the fire!He didn't expect that Chen Baxian could quickly quell the chaos and drive out the Xiao clan who refused to accept him from Panyu City.

Seeing Yu Wentai's menacing approach with his trilogy, Chen Ba first fortified the wall and cleared the country, and at the same time contacted the local powerful in Guangzhou, promising to make great profits and join forces against the enemy.

At the same time, he also encouraged the soldiers under his command to reward the three armies with all the gold and silver looted from Xiao Tian's mansion.In addition, the soldiers under Yu Wentai's command were already very tired from fighting for a long time, and they just hung their breath and didn't fall down.

Under the influence of the right time, place and people, Chen Baxian fought fiercely with Yu Wentai's army ten miles outside Panyu City for three hours, and returned to Panyu City for rest until he was exhausted.

At night, Chen Baxian personally led his troops to attack the enemy's camp again, smashing Yu Wentai, beheading thousands and taking more than [-] prisoners.

Yu Wentai fled in embarrassment with his nephews and nephews, as well as a few parts.Afterwards, they took a sea boat to bypass a lot of occupied land, and fled to Houguan City, where soldiers and horses were stationed, before stopping.

Because of the special terrain, the territories captured before were all near the sea, and there was no danger to defend by land, so all of them were lost this time, and they were all captured by Chen Baxian's general Hou Andu.

What is even more worrisome is that the soldiers and horses that have been trained in many fierce battles before can be regarded as the foundation of Yu Wentai's life, and they were wiped out in one battle.

It is really appropriate to describe Yuwentai's surprise attack as stealing a chicken without losing money.

This army is under the command of Yu Wentai, but it is not Yu Wentai's personal armed forces.The army is gone, and he can only linger in Houguancheng (Fuzhou City). Of course, he must give Liu Yishou an explanation!
The business manager messed up his errand, so naturally he can't treat it as nothing happened, and he still has to "plead guilty" to the chairman.In the letter, Yu Wentai asked Liu Yishou to "select another talented person", and he will return to Jiankang to plead guilty and wait to be punished.

"Write a letter to Yu Wentai and ask him to guard Houguan City and stop taking advantage of merit."

Liu Yishou sighed, Yu Wentai's wave was purely his own tossing around.Going south along the southeast coastal area is indeed a good route to conquer Guangzhou, but there is a problem that this can only be used as a diversion, but not as the main direction of attack.

You can take it, but you can't hold it.Once it fails, it will be a thousand miles away.The mission Liu Yishou entrusted to Yu Wentai was to contain the troops of the vassal kings in Guangzhou. Even when he was in Jiangzhou, he wanted to open up the line of Bashan County, join forces with Yu Wentai, and give the other party an elite army.

Unexpectedly, Yu Wentai, who was going smoothly before, would actually float away!With a handful of kings in his hand, he blew up the leaflet!
If Yu Wentai's wave is more stable, it can be said that he can complete the task lying down.

"My lord, after the beginning of spring, it is urgent to go south from Jiangzhou and open up Shaoguan."

Wang Wei suggested with a serious face.

Xiao Ying's death, is it good news for Liu Yishou?

Absolutely not!

Those vassal kings and clans of the Xiao Clan are themselves negative assets, and they are all things that are held back by Chen Baxian's thigh!In the past, with the constraints of these people, Chen Baxian could only defend Guangzhou and other places.Now without these people holding back, Chen Baxian is going to go north to counterattack instead!

"Do you think Yu Wentai should be transferred back?"

Liu Yishou asked suspiciously.

"My lord, realize your shame and be brave. If Yu Wentai is transferred back to punish him, wouldn't all the generals in the army have to act conservatively?
After Yu Wentai came back, how could he raise his head and be a man under the contemptuous eyes of others? "

Chen Yuankang denied Liu Yishou's opinion, and what he said was very reasonable, everyone nodded together.

"By the way, was it the Sand Sculpture King who shot and killed Chen Baxian's brother?"

Seeing that Chen Ba was about to rise up first, Liu Yishou suddenly asked a question related to it.

Wang Wei and the others were taken aback for a moment, then nodded and said, "It seems that there is such a thing."

"The Sand Sculpture King will fight in the future, let him wear a mask."

Liu Yishou suddenly felt that Hu Luxian seemed to have offended too many people.

For example Gao Huan, for example Chen Baxian and so on.
