Governor please stay

Yingzhou City (that is, Xiakou City built by Sun Quan during the Three Kingdoms period) is not large in size, but the terrain is very dangerous.There is a water village built near the city, which used to be Webster's navy camp. The water village is not small in size, not only can accommodate large ships, but also can conduct daily training for the navy here.

The opening (north) of the river on the other side of the city is the entrance of the Han River. The officers and soldiers also built a water village not far from the entrance of the Han River to train the water army.The water army of Hu Sengyou and others was stationed here, and by the way, it also guarded the land where the grain was stored.

Previously, they were in a state of "well water does not violate river water" with Webster's navy, and they did not interfere with each other's military orders.

And they are horns with Yingzhou City, and they can support each other.

This is Liu Yishou's previous layout, which can be said to be very stable.

In order to drive Webster's water army to fight, Liu Yishou "tactfully" grabbed the opponent's food and fodder, but did not send a supervising army.On the one hand, it is to prevent Webster's people from using soy sauce when fighting, and on the other hand, it is to not interfere with the opponent's use of troops and give them greater autonomy.

After the Battle of Baling, the main force of Webster's navy was wiped out, and there were only three or two kittens left in the water village outside Xiakou City, and their combat power was useless.The "main force" of the court water army has become a new army that is being trained in the Han River Water Village.

It's hard to say how powerful this navy is without the actual combat test, but the size of the navy's soldiers is indeed average.

Although there are quite a few boats, they are all small boats, and there is not even a single large boat.This can't help but make people sweat.

After the accident of Webster's navy, Hu Sengyou was naturally as anxious as an ant on a hot pot. In just a few days, he sent people to Linxiang to send several letters to Liu Yishou asking for help.

However, what no one expected was that Xiao Yi, who wanted to become emperor in Jiangling, did not follow the script planned by Liu Yishou, and gave the imperial court's counter-insurgency army a blow.

Fortunately, what should come will always come.The navy fleet led by Wu Mingche hurried all the way, and finally appeared on the Yangtze River outside the city of Yingzhou.

After they made up their minds, they selected elites from the water army led by Wu Mingche, and entered Hu Sengyou Water Village in Zhuankou to learn and practice new warships and adapt new tactics.

No one expected that Xiao Yi would not die, but would die!

Is it really fun to pick up money in a prison cell, and then be named a high-ranking official, but can't go out?Where is the coolness?

Everyone understood that Wei Shi was in Yingzhou before, so it was easy to say what happened.

In fact, even if Duguxin was in Jiangling, it would be difficult to defend the city, and in the end he still had to retreat northwards and return to Xiangyang.

After defeating the main force of Webster's navy, Wang Sengbian asked Fan Yi, who was stationed in Wuling County, to return to defend Baling County, and discarded the strategic location at the other end of Dongting Lake.

Everyone unanimously decided to break up the organization and then reorganize it. The two naval forces selected elites to join together and operated new warships as a mobile force, looking for opportunities to fight a decisive battle with the King's Water Army in Eastern Hunan.

According to Liu Yishou's plan in advance, Wu Mingche's fleet first traveled from Pengcheng to Guangling (Yangzhou) through the canal, and then entered the Yangtze River from Guangling. After a little repair at Jingkou, they would come to Yingzhou with supplies to join Hu Sengyou and the others.

"Xiao Yi is so crazy, he doesn't want his life, so don't all his subordinates want their lives? Doesn't anyone see that Xiao Yi is going on a road of no return?"

As for the root cause, it cannot all be attributed to Liu Yishou.

It has to be said that Liu Yishou's bureau is indeed impeccable.Even if the entire Xiangdong Wangshui army attacked, it might not be able to win over Yingzhou.

……

"When there was no money, those people were looking forward to Xiao Yi giving money. Now that they have money, those people have to think about how to save their lives to spend the money.

A Jiangling city is so cool, if you can fight for three days in Jiankang without sealing the sword, wouldn't you be able to go back to your hometown to marry a wife after finishing this order?

Even this "majestic" posture is more like the madness and reflection before death.

Wang Sengbian and Wang Lin are loyal and cannot be persuaded, but is it the same for other generals in Xiao Yi's army?Liu Yishou felt that there would always be smart people in the world.

Liu Yishou didn't understand what Xiao Yi was thinking at all, taking down Jiangling would indeed be a blast, after all, Jiangling City is very rich, and it's easy to make a fortune.After looting, it is also a routine operation to reward soldiers.

Waiting for the "reward for meritorious service" after the war.

I will write the persuasion letter now, and when the time comes, let our envoys hand over a copy to every general under Xiao Yi's command to explore the way. "

After taking down Jiangling City, Xiao Yi ordered his soldiers to throw off their arms and plunder without any taboos!

If the shells are not good enough, then use silver bullets, which are the routines of old silver coins.Liu Yishou is now rich and powerful, and he is in a high position, so he can set a high price!
"Here, I'll do it now, my subordinate. But my lord, can you really persuade Xiao Yi's generals to surrender? Didn't they just plunder Jiangling? They should all become loyal, right?"

After the Jiangling plunder, the soldiers under the King of Xiangdong's command could be said to be full of food, and their bodies swelled a lot.For a while, soldiers shouting long live were everywhere in the city, and the morale of the army soared to the sky. These people wished Xiao Yi could take them to Jiankang to make a fortune.

The three places can support each other and send letters to each other every day.

In addition, he sent people to investigate the surrounding areas every day, and found that Xiao Yi's soldiers and horses hadn't moved, and the two of them worked together to stabilize the restless military spirit.

Xiao Yi ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor in Jiangling, and his country name was still "Liang". In other words, he claimed that he was the orthodox Xiao Clan, and the Jiankang court was just a puppet at the mercy of Liu Yishou, and had nothing to do with the Xiao Clan long ago up!

……

For a moment, Wang Wei thought Xiao Yi was very brave!Choosing to attack Jiangling at this time is really not the courage that ordinary people can have.

Liu Yishou's answer to Hu Sengyou was: reinforcements are already on the way, but they will come from the direction of Jiankang. Before the reinforcements arrive, just keep a solid defense and don't go out to fight.

Liu Yishou, who has always been relentless in planning, actually stumbled on a waste like Xiao Yi this time. I have to say, it is really surprising.

"Send someone to send Xiao Yi a letter begging to be subdued, and then find out which general in the city is in charge of the city defense. As long as it's not Wang Lin and Wang Sengbian, you can try.

"My lord, what should we do with the current situation?"

Many people in Xiao Yijun thought so.

The entire marching process took only one day and one night!No patrolling court scouts were disturbed along the way!
Since Duguxin had already led the army to Shayang and other places in the lower reaches of Jiangling, the forward of the Xiangdong King Army led by Wang Lin took Jiangling City almost effortlessly!

If the money is still there, but the people are gone, what is the point of grabbing money?
It is precisely because Xiao Yi let go of the plundering of the soldiers under his command that he has a loophole. You can do it now, I know it well. "

After all, if Xiao Yi wanted to go north to Jiangling, the enemy troops would obviously follow him around Jiangling, so it was meaningless to continue guarding the other end of Dongting Lake.In the past, when Baling County was lost, the soldiers were defeated and died. Great changes have also taken place.

Two days later, Duguxin sent someone to send the news that he had obtained Liu Yishou's military order and arrived at Shayang on the south bank of the Yangtze River and Chuanling on the other side of the river by land.The two places are not only separated by the Yangtze River, but also in the upper reaches of Yingzhou City, they can monitor and harass the activities of the Xiangdong King's Navy near Yingzhou!

After some layout, the control area of ​​the Xiangdong King's army almost "moved" two or three counties to the north, completely gave up the competition for Xiangzhou, and shifted the focus to Jiangling in the north.

Now all the soldiers and horses under Liu Yishou's command are stationed here, and there must be no way to lose the battle.If something really happened, Liu Yishou's army was strictly controlled, and he violated the military law to hit the board, it would be serious.

Yingzhou in the east has been sealed off by Liu Yishou's men.

He also has no moves, what else can he do besides attacking?The hard bone of Baling County has to be gnawed down.

Comforting and winning over the bottom, Xiao Yi began to win over the senior and middle-level officers under his command.

The main force of the Xiangdong King's Army set off from Baling County under the cover of night, marched upstream from the mouth of the Yangtze River by water, and drove the fleet directly to the city of Jiangling in silence all the way!

Hu Sengyou was also worried that the Xiangdong King's water army under Xiao Yi's command would attack Yingzhou and he would not be able to resist it, and he was also afraid that the children of Wei's family in Yingzhou would surrender to Xiao Yi.I couldn't eat or sleep well all day, and panicked a lot.

However, there is a problem that cannot be ignored: these wealth cannot be taken away!There will always be smart people who notice this.

Even Wang Sengbian's relatives can try to lobby.Send someone to handle this matter. Send people to all the cities controlled by the King of Eastern Hunan Army.

Fortunately, Hu Luxian, who was also on the investigative mission in the water village, had inexplicable confidence in Liu Yishou, and firmly believed that this battle would be victorious, as stable as Mount Tai.

After capturing Jiangling, Wang Sengbian ordered Wang Lin, Fan Meng and other generals to attack everywhere, successively captured the cities of Nanping County south of Jiangling, and built a ferry on the bank of the adjacent Dongting Lake, moored warships, and returned to the city. Establish a supply transportation line and a navy activity route with Baling County.

Before he judged that Xiao Yi would attack Yingzhou, it was because it was the throat of the Yangtze River. The army of the King of Eastern Hunan wanted to counterattack, and he wanted to focus on counterattacks. It would be impossible not to take Yingzhou. The soldiers and luggage of the imperial court would gather continuously through the Yangtze River waterway In Yingzhou.

If you go upstream along the Yangtze River, don't expect the boat to go fast.Even though Liu Yishou made a lot of advances, Wu Mingche's fleet did not rush to Yingzhou immediately after the Webster's navy was wiped out.

Wang Wei comforted calmly.

At least it can serve as an early warning.

It's like hanging a barrier lake above your head. When the mountain can't bear the pressure of the lake, do you need to think about what will happen?
Xiao Yi is an idiot who doesn't care, don't the people under him also think it doesn't matter?I'm afraid it may not be the case!

Is ascending the throne and proclaiming emperor more important than surviving?

Anyway, it's all false, if you can win, you will naturally have what you want in the future, and it is no problem to go to Jiankang to become a marquis and pay homage to the prime minister.If they lose, everyone will go to Huangquan together on the road, but it will be lively and lively, and they will not be lonely.

It can be said that Jiangling City is just a bigger prison for Xiao Yi.

In fact, it is not a big problem for him to declare so, at least most of what he said is true.

Whether Jiangling can be defended does not depend on how many soldiers and horses there are in the city, but whether the navy can block the enemy's way!
If the water army is defeated, Jiangling will be lost. This is not a controversial matter, even those who are proficient in the art of war can see it.

"Xiao Yi actually defeated Jiangling, and even ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor. Is this considered to be an addiction and then die?"

Powerless to resist the imperial court, but lucky enough to not want to join Xiao Yi, the members of the Wei family opened the sluice gate of Yingzhou City and let Wu Mingche's fleet enter the city, thinking that they had waited for the backbone.

And those soldiers who were eliminated used Wu Mingche's original water army warships to escort the water supply tank ships!Rebuild water and grain roads!
The series of chaos caused by the annihilation of the Webster's navy disappeared with the arrival of Wu Mingche's reinforcements, and the government and military affairs of Yingzhou returned to normal order.

Liu Yishou couldn't understand what Xiao Yi was thinking at all, but he knew that Xiao Yi had slapped him severely this time, and he couldn't face it, it was a matter of iron and nail.

In the study of the Linxiang City Government Office, Liu Yishou looked at the battle reports one after another on the table, and said to himself in disbelief.

Fan Yi's troops pretended to be the elite under Wang Lin's command and continued to patrol the coast of Dongting Lake, pretending that nothing had happened and everything was business as usual, and deceived the scouts of the imperial court's counter-insurgency army.

After sharing the truth with each other, Wu Mingche was surprised to find that the fleet he brought from Pengcheng in the north was not only old, but also inferior in style to the new warships in the water village of Hu Sengyou and others. On his side, only the sailors had practiced for many years. He is very familiar with water warfare, and his combat effectiveness is reasonable.

Now Baling County is still at the forefront, but Xiao Yi is already sitting in Jiangling, and the Xiangdong King's army has played a little bit of "strategic depth", which finally looks like a sudden rise.

Webster's navy was wiped out, and the imperial court lost control of the Yangtze River, so it was impossible to defend Jiangling City.Even if troops are sent for reinforcements, it is impossible for a person to run faster on land than a ship!
This is to affect the whole body by pulling one hair. In the view of Liu Yishou and others, the problem of fighting Jiangling is that it is dispensable to change the strategic situation. There is no suspense about the outcome of this battle itself.

Wang Wei asked suspiciously.

Xiao Yi appointed Wang Sengbian as a general, governor of Jingzhou, and governor of Gyeonggi.Wang Lin is the governor of the ten prefectures and the governor of Yangzhou.All the other generals were added to the ranks, and they did not hesitate to be high-ranking officials and generous salaries.

Liu Yishou asked suspiciously.

Liu Yishou said thoughtfully.

Duguxin's soldiers and horses were guarding the periphery, Wu Mingche's soldiers and horses sat in Yingzhou and waited for them. Hu Sengyou, Hu Luxian and others continued to organize the navy and guard the granary.

Public looting does not seal the knife for three days, and the spoils obtained do not need to be handed over, and can be kept by oneself.

Wang Wei asked in bewilderment.

To the west of Jiangling is the Three Gorges, and it is impossible for Xiao Yi to develop there, not to mention that it is still an area controlled by the imperial court, and it is not easy to deal with people in the mountains and fields such as hunters and cave masters.

Immediately afterwards, Wu Mingche contacted Hu Sengyou and others to enter Yingzhou City to discuss military affairs and discuss how to rearm defenses in Yingzhou and surrounding areas.The main purpose is to fill the vacuum of troops and the gap in the defense zone after the main force of Webster's navy was destroyed.Re-establish water supply.

In other words, no longer focusing on Yang Zhong in Luo County, even the strategic position of Baling County has dropped a lot.

It stands to reason that those who have already robbed a lot, shouldn't they be more devoted to Xiao Yi?
He was a little confused.

To the south is Dongting Lake, where the soldiers and horses of the imperial court can come back at any time. To the north is Xiangyang, which is easy to defend but difficult to attack. Xu Du is still guarding there, with heavy troops stationed there.

The soldiers under Hu Sengyou's command, who were already familiar with the use of the equipment on the ship, stayed and continued to practice, and they ate and lived with Wu Mingche's elite soldiers.

"My lord, didn't you say before that if you want someone to perish, you must first make him crazy. Xiao Yi is so arrogant that he is not far from death, so why should the lord get angry?"

However, when they met, Wei An wanted to say something to Wu Mingche, but the latter ordered people to control the city defense of Yingzhou calmly.As soon as the generals entered the government office, Wu Mingche drew out his sword, took out Liu Yishou's military order, and captured all of Wei's children!None of them let go!
Wu Mingche, who knew all of Liu Yishou's plans, didn't talk to Wei An at all, and directly locked these people in the prison in Yingzhou City.

Liu Yishou said calmly.

"I'm super brave, okay?"

"Geez, don't do it!"
