Governor please stay

Chapter 568 Tender Chick

The imperial army is coming, and now they have sent a letter of persuasion, what should we do?what to do?what to do!
Zhou Di was in a hurry, but he found that the rich chieftains in the lobby didn't seem to be in a hurry at all. Anyway, he, the tall man, was holding the sky down.These people have no sense of crisis at all, and seem to think that everything will be fine if something goes wrong and push people out to top their bags.

Naturally, the meeting broke up unhappy and did not reach any consensus.So Zhou Di left Zhou Fu alone, and the two discussed major issues.

"Zhongyuan (Zhou Fubiao), the situation seems a little bad."

Zhou Di let out a long sigh, feeling deeply worried about the current situation, and felt that the many wealthy chieftains in Linchuan County were short-sighted and lacked intelligence and strategy!
These people can't see that the crisis is not only full of danger, but also hidden vitality.For these local rich chieftains who are rolling in the mud, the imperial army's marching south to Guangzhou to suppress the rebellion is not only dangerous, but also an excellent opportunity to climb up.

The only difference lies in which side to bet on!Needless to say, if the bet is right, it must be the arrival of prosperity and wealth.But if the bet is wrong, the whole family will die.

"I've heard some deeds about this King of Wu. This man is very difficult to deal with. If we want to vote for Chen Baxian, we can only make plans early and lead our troops south to Guangzhou now. Otherwise, we won't be able to leave."

Zhou Fu said very worriedly.

He has a very clear understanding of the current situation, and it is impossible not to make a statement. If you don't want to do things for the imperial court, then you have to do things for the rebel forces in Guangzhou. There is no middle option.

The imperial court will not allow the rich chieftains of Jiangzhou to act on their own.

Zhou Wenyu led the auxiliary troops to set up a transfer ferry on the edge of the south exit of Poyang Lake, and transferred the grain and grass from the large tank boat to the small boat, and then transferred it along the tributary of the Ganshui River to the ferry outside Yuzhang City. Prevent the narrow river channel from running aground on large tank ships coming up the Yangtze River.

Zhou Di nodded slightly, agreeing with Zhou Fu's point of view, but worried that Zhou Fu would never come back after going there, or gave Liu Yishou wrong information.

Liu Yishou shook his head.Yang Xiuzhi's method is too low-end, it is easy to give others excuses, and it will not have any effect on breaking the situation.

During the national mourning period, no military action is allowed. This Linchuan Raider is probably coming to an end. "

I sent people to inquire about the news that the previous emperor died of illness and a national funeral was about to be held. King Wu returned to Jiankang to hold the funeral.

Liu Yishou suppressed the thoughts in his mind, he couldn't just use up those Jiangzhou rich chieftains who had been ordered to safety as toilet paper.In a hopeless battle one cannot expect much dedication from these men.

"If there is any way to seduce those Linchuan tycoons to attack Linru (Fuzhou City, Jiangxi Province), that would be great."

"Is it true that the army has withdrawn?"

Liu Yishou began to seriously consider Yang Xiuzhi's idea, and immediately rejected it.

Taking the road of Bashan County, we must first capture Luling County. Although the route is farther, the wealthy Luling County can provide a lot of supplies.

The only reliance is that Linru County is the only exit to the north of Linchuan County, and it is also the only window for obtaining materials from the outside conveniently and efficiently.

This kind of complicated situation made Liu Yishou somewhat in a dilemma.

Before Liu Yishou came, the situation in Jiangzhou was barely maintained by Yang Xiuzhi.Now that the rightful lord has come, the matter must of course continue to move forward, and it cannot be left unresolved like this.

Liu Yishou was taken aback for a moment, Xiao Huan was ill because of poisoning before, and he looked like he was going to die soon.

Xiao Huan is dead?

Without Lianghuai salt, what would Jiangzhou eat?

Getting through here means that Linchuan County has been captured, and continue to Nanfeng County and other places in the south. Although it is still within the scope of Linchuan County, it is no longer a cause for concern.

An inconspicuous Linchuan chieftain asked.

"Everyone, there is a major event happening in Jiangzhou. The King of Wu has withdrawn his troops, and even evacuated Yuzhang County. Not only Linru County, but also Yuzhang City and Pan City are the same.

"That's fine."

"Assassination...?"

In the history of Liu Yishou's previous life, after the Hou Jing Rebellion, many chieftains in the Jiangzhou area sided with Wang Lin. It was because the Northern Qi later controlled the Huaihe River, and the salt could be directly transported to Jiangzhou.

No matter how powerful it is, how can it be so powerful? It's not like there was no fire in the past.

Linru County is a place that must be contested. As soon as the soldiers and horses of the imperial court leave, the powerful chieftains of Linchuan County will take it back as quickly as possible. The longer it is delayed, the greater their loss!
Of course, salt can also be sent from Guangzhou in the south, but the journey is far away, and the price is several times higher.

Of these two paths, one is right and the other is strange, which is exactly the way to use troops. "

To attack directly, the initiative is in your own hands, but the cost-effectiveness of taking the mountain road is extremely poor.

The entire supply line of water transportation began to operate in an orderly manner, so that the world can see that the imperial court's suppression of rebellion is not a joke, but a real action.

"My lord, although my subordinates don't know much about military strategy, those wealthy chieftains in Linchuan County are planning to fight until we run out of food and grass. We can't blockade Guangzhou in the south.

An abrupt voice sounded from the crowd, which was recognized by many people.

To make a decision, it must be early.

"It makes sense."

Zhou Fu took a thousand young men to Linru County, and then found that the top of the city was plain and covered with white cloth.And the so-called big camp outside the city, you can't see it at all, and you can't even see many soldiers and horses at the head of Linru County!
He hurried back to Nancheng County and asked Zhou Di to call the chieftains to discuss matters.However, those people actually procrastinated and did not arrive until three days later.

Zhou Fu sighed, always feeling that Zhou Di's indecision would cause serious trouble, but he didn't know how to persuade him.After all, different identities mean different considerations.

Zhou Fu thought for a while and said.

Because he abdicated early, Liu Yishou didn't pay attention to how the other party was doing, and he didn't expect to die at this time.

It is very unwise to attack the enemy's strengths with one's own weaknesses.It is necessary to lure the chieftain of Linchuan County to Linru County, and fight a large-scale annihilation battle in this flat place with rivers and rivers, in order to open the situation of attacking Linchuan County.

So Liu Yishou ordered the army to go to Yuzhang County, and use Yuzhang City as a base to set up a counter-insurgency battalion.

"No, it's useless."

Linchuan County can go directly to Nankang County, but the route is close but the mountain road is rugged.

Liu Yishou said something in a deep voice, turned around and left.

Thinking about it in turn, this is one of the only ways for the imperial court to counter the rebellion army.If the local tycoons are allowed to go out of control, can the battle between the officials and the army continue?

Just because some wealthy chieftains in Jiangzhou have taken refuge, those people cannot be used to death.You know, these people will also wink, they know that your idea is only to consume the opponent's strength, and those people will also turn against it.

But in the end it lasted for more than two months!

Only by helping Chen Baxian, who is weak, can he gain more power from it.Moreover, Xiao Gang is Xiao Yan's son-in-law, and the former emperor was kicked out, so it can be regarded as justifiable.

Liu Yishou did not dare to overestimate the integrity of Yu Xiaoqing, Huang Fajiu and others.Didn't Chang Shenkai in his previous life plan to use up the communist army's strength to deal with those miscellaneous troops who came from warlords?
This move can't be said to have no effect, but in the end, my main force was killed by those so-called miscellaneous troops.

"Indeed, all the soldiers and horses sent by the imperial court have boarded the boat." Zhou Fu nodded slightly.This information has been repeatedly confirmed by several channels, and the troops sent by Liu Yishou to suppress the rebellion have indeed left Jiangzhou.

This is also one of the important reasons why Jiangzhou Haoji dare not turn against the court casually.

At this moment, Yuan Shikang, who was supposed to be on standby in Jiankang, appeared at the top of the city.As soon as he saw Liu Yishou, he ran over and delivered a letter.

"We have already opened up in Bashan County, Linchuan County...in fact, we are just worried that those people will be used by Chen Baxian and cut off our retreat."

Just looking at this highly efficient, orderly and well-protected food road, one can know that the people who use soldiers are scheming, not the kind of reckless and reckless warriors who don't care about the consequences.

Zhou Di's group of low-intelligence tycoons and chiefs really can't count on them too much.That group of people did more than succeed in their affairs, and more than one more week would feel like an eyesore.

"My lord, Xiao Huan has passed away from illness and has not yet mourned. I am waiting for my lord's order."

Lure the enemy to go deep, and the initiative is in the hands of the Linchuan chieftains. Although the cost-effective ratio is high, the enemy is not an idiot. You want these people to fight in Linru County, where the terrain is unfavorable to them, is a bit wishful thinking.

After all, Linchuan County is not Nankang County, it is too far away, alas! "

Liu Yishou sighed and explained to Yang Xiuzhi.

"Going south to Guangzhou and leaving our hometown, we have no one to rely on to fight. Supplies are a problem. Who will go with us? If you resist the imperial army in Linchuan County, your hometown will be burnt. Chen Baxian and his gang, They will not give us individual support.

Do you really want to spend it with them? "

Yang Xiuzhi said cautiously.

Liu Yishou stopped and looked at the large lake to the east of Yuzhang City.

After a while, all the high-ranking people in Yuzhang City were called to the government office study to discuss major issues.

"Or, we can ask Dai Zigao to go to Nancheng to assassinate Zhou Di and the others. With all the dragons without a leader, we can just take it down in one fell swoop!"

"Everyone is gone, who can beat us? Huang Fajiu? Or Yu Xiaoqing? You don't know how to say Zhou Xu?"

Nancheng, Yongcheng, Dongxing and other counties are all not far to the east of Nancheng County, forming a relatively large-scale populated area.

However, all these are just superficial phenomena. In fact, Liu Yishou also encountered his own problems.

"In this case, we can take Linru back, right? The things in the mountains can't be sold, and the things outside can't get in. If we take Linru back one day earlier, everyone will feel better sooner, right?"

Yang Xiuzhi asked with some concern.

Those wealthy chieftains can consume forever, how long will Liu Yishou consume energy?This is a tough competition.

Liu Yishou looked around at Yu Xiaoqing, Huang Fajiu and the others, grinning.

Using this place as the county government is not conducive to win over the local tycoons in Linchuan County.

Liu Yishou pointed to the gap in the female wall of Yuzhang city wall and said.

The three brothers Xiao Huan, Xiao Yu, and Xiao Yu, it was the poisoned Xiao Huan who died last!And his two younger brothers died abnormally, and he just tossed himself away!
"Call everyone, let's discuss in the study!"

"Everyone, I have thought of a way to defeat the enemy, but I need your cooperation."

Now Liu Yishou has dispatched the vanguard Yang Zhongbu to station [-] soldiers in Linru County. If he advances further, he will have to walk a long way to reach the lair of the powerful chieftains in Linchuan County: Nancheng County!

"This is probably a trick to lure the enemy, so don't move."

"How about this, I'll write a letter, and you take a thousand young men to Linru to see the situation. After you meet King Wu, just give this letter to King Wu."

In this way, on the contrary, everyone in those wealthy chieftains was in danger and huddled together to keep warm.It may even fall into the arms of the Guangzhou rebels.

"From Yuzhang to the south, a road from Linchuan County and a road from Bashan County can lead to Nankang County.

Zhou Di has a group of this kind of stuff under his command!
……

Zhou Di said with a serious face.

The elite soldiers of Liu Yishou's lineage have left, and the powerful chieftains of Bashan County who have been incorporated are not as strong as them, and they can't play any tricks.

Another Linchuan Hao Chief said nonchalantly.

"My lord..."

It is easy to assassinate a powerful chieftain in Linchuan County, but it is difficult to kill them all in one go.Even if they managed to catch them all in one sweep, it would be impossible to wipe out these powerful chieftains!

Zhou Di finally came up with a "half-step forward" plan: I don't agree to date you, but it's still okay to add a WeChat account to send a red envelope from time to time, similar to the routine routine of later generations of scumbag girls fishing for a spare tire.

They are just from the dragon, not yet a self-reliant rebellion, the risk of which is much smaller.

"In my opinion, I still have to go there, at least to delay the time. What is King Wu's attitude now, and what the court plans to do in Linchuan County, we have only a half-knowledge, and it is still necessary to find out what they think."

Yang Xiuzhi couldn't help coming up with a bad idea.

The problem Liu Yishou faced was simple: the army under his command was not suitable for fighting in the mountains.The local soldiers and horses incorporated in Jiangzhou cannot be used as the main force.

The sun was shining brightly in spring, at the head of Yuzhang City, following Liu Yishou, watching his lord look thoughtful while patrolling the city wall, Yang Xiuzhi endured it for a long time, and finally couldn't help but speak, but he didn't know what to say .

"That's just one of them. That's all. The terrain in Linchuan County is really tricky. I'm afraid that Yu Xiaoqing and others will not be able to lead the way for us under such circumstances."

……

Zhou Fu said with a serious face.

Not to mention anything else, Linchuan County does not produce salt, and the salt needed must be transported from Yuzhang County, and the salt in Yuzhang County comes from the Yangtze River. It departs from Guangling (Yangzhou).

"At the moment, that's the only way to go."

Around Yuzhang County, the terrain can be considered flat.However, when marching southeast to Linru County, further south, the road will be very difficult.Surrounding Linru is the last plain in the north of Linchuan County. If you continue to move forward, the mountain road is rugged and easy to be ambushed.

Linchuan County was changed to a county government because the terrain of Linru area was too flat and it was too close to Yuzhang County.The local forces here are still from the circle of Yuzhang, and they are not from the same group as the area centered on Nancheng County to the south.

Zhou Di let out a long sigh. In fact, he didn't really want to help the court put down the rebellion. Why?Because the current imperial court has obvious advantages and controls the overall situation!
If the local wealthy chieftain of Linchuan County joins the army, it's no fun to get some soup to drink.It can be said that with so many people under Liu Yishou's command, one more Zhou Di is not too many, and one less him is also a lot.

Let Yang Min of Jiankang transport the grain and grass in time, pass the ferry of Jingkou, and transfer it to Leichi on the other side of the city, as the general granary.Then Webster's fleet was responsible for patrolling the Yangtze River and Poyang Lake to protect the supply line so that the tank boats on the Yangtze River could enter Poyang Lake smoothly.

After seizing Linru County, if the imperial army returns, they can return to Nancheng County, so what is there to worry about?It is a big deal to delay everyone's trading supplies.

"You are really..." Zhou Di looked at those "colleagues" who were so excited that they didn't know what to say.

"Although you are the coach, you still have to listen to everyone's opinions, and you can't act arbitrarily."

Someone slapped Zhou Di in a nonchalant way.
