Governor please stay

Chapter 600 Anxiety Syndrome

People count as tigers, and tigers count as people.While Liu Yishou was working hard to prepare for the southern expedition, Chen Baxian was not idle.

Although Li Qianshi beat Chen Baxian under Xiao Bo's support, he didn't have much talent in running an army. The last time he won, it was because Xiao Bo took out Chen Baxian's hometown Panyu City, and Li Qianshi bullied Chen Baxian's army Just thinking about it.

If you face the enemy head-on, none of the ten Li Qianshi is an opponent of Chen Baxian.

The autumn harvest has just started this year, and the fields are full of farmers harvesting rice.

Li Qianshi thought that Chen Baxian's vitality was seriously injured last time, and now that the autumn harvest is busy, the opponent must not be able to organize troops to fight.So according to the old style of last time, we led troops to raid Xinning County (Xinxing, Guangdong).

However, what he didn't expect was that Chen Baxian had already ambushed in a place called Longtan (near Chunwan Town, Northeast of Yangchun, Guangdong Province) on the only way.

There is not only a large lake here, but also mountains and rocks on the shore, and the terrain is extremely complicated.Not to mention mental calculations without intention, even if the two armies are facing each other head-on, if they are not familiar with the terrain, the army that is not prepared in advance will definitely lose!
Li Qianshi led his troops to the northeast along the shore of Huze, and soon he was ambushed. An ambush came out on the hill on the right bank. As soon as he made contact, Li Qianshi found himself being crushed and beaten.

In the chaos, there seemed to be enemy ambushes in the front, back, left, and right sides, and he didn't even have a chance to fight back. Except for his cronies, the other soldiers had lost their organizational system, and no one could be found!
And the stone forest on the northeast side of the water lake seems to be the only way out!Li Qianshi fled to Shilin with his cronies, and left the other soldiers to escape from the battlefield in embarrassment!
Then there is no more.

In the stone forest, Chen Baxian brought his two nephews, Chen Qian and Chen Xu, followed by three hundred elite soldiers.He looked at the enemy soldiers kneeling on the ground, and Li Qianshi, who had been hit by more than a dozen arrows and was already dead, he sighed helplessly.

"You and I are going to be encircled and suppressed by the imperial court. Why bother to plot against each other before the enemy army arrives?"

Chen Ba first looked at Li Qianshi's body, and asked helplessly.

There are a bunch of "pig teammates" around the horse, and Chen Ba doesn't know who to go to after scolding his mother.What Xiao Bo, what Li Qianshi, what are they!
The only reliable Mrs. Xian didn't get involved in these things at all, she clearly didn't think highly of herself.

Don't look at Mr. Chen Ba's calm and self-confident appearance before losing, but he is actually panicking inside!
As the leader of the anti-flag in the Guangzhou area, others don't know how much pressure he is under, but he is very clear in his heart!

Chen Baxian dreamed more than once that Liu Yishou led soldiers and horses to attack Guangzhou, sent people to rush into his bedroom, and cut off his head!
The Jiankang court is no longer the waste that Xiao Yan could not do well at that time!Now under the integration of Liu Yishou, the Jiankang Center has achieved unprecedented unity in the integration of resources from various places.

It can even be said that the Southern Dynasties have never reached such a height in a hundred years!

Chen Ba first heard that the prefects and county magistrates of the counties and counties north of Shaoguan all went to Jiankang to report on their duties, accepted the so-called "Jingcha", and then came back intact.

The reason why the imperial court is so confident is because Liu Yishou is confident, and there is no need to play tricky tricks.The more confident the Jiankang center is, the less likely it will be for the states and counties near Guangzhou to be drawn over by Chen Baxian.

In fact, this is indeed the case. The counties and counties north of Shaoguan, after receiving Chen Baxian's persuading letter, all handed it over to the imperial court and directly sent it to Liu Yishou.

To put it bluntly, the situation is stronger than the people, and it is clear at a glance who is stronger and who is weaker on both sides.Now that Liang Guo is becoming more stable in all aspects of politics and military affairs, and even the number of refugees is decreasing every year, who is willing to bet on Chen Baxian?
Chen Baxian's two nephews, Chen Qian and Chen Xu, were not very clear about these things, but Chen Baxian could feel a biting chill.

"Chop off Li Qianshi's head and send the head to Jiankang, and say that I, Chen, helped the court put down the rebellion."

Chen Baxian said calmly, and ordered his soldiers to do it.

"Uncle, isn't this provoking Jiankang?"

Chen Qian asked in bewilderment.

"No, Uncle is demonstrating against Jiankang, telling them that our family is already the only one in Guangzhou."

Chen Xu said disapprovingly.

"Needless to say, I have my own measure."

Chen Ba waved his hand first, signaling to Chen Qian and the others that there is no need to continue talking.

Sending Li Qianshi's head over, is that a demonstration to the court?

How can it be!This is obviously giving in to the imperial court!

Chen Baxian believes that Liu Yishou must understand what he wants to express.

If the imperial court took advantage of Li Qianshi's position and appointed himself a governor of Guangzhou, supervising the military affairs of the three states of Guangzhou, Hengzhou, and Chengzhou, then the country could also maintain the unity on the surface.

Xiao Gang, it's time to hand it over!
No, no matter whether the imperial court agrees or not, Xiao Gang will hand it over. Now that the Xiao clan has no appeal, it is easy to give others a handle!

Chen Baxian already had the idea of ​​retreating in his heart, feeling that he could not defeat the imperial court's army going south to suppress the rebellion.He has a keen judgment on the current situation, and he doesn't think he can get cheap from a gradually recovering giant.

The only thing to do is to keep the green hills and not be afraid of running out of firewood.

Besides, Fangzhen in the Southern Dynasty sometimes submits and sometimes rebels, and sometimes listens to the tune and does not listen to the propaganda, it is not a day or two.When Xiao Yan was in the last years of the Southern Qi Dynasty, his status was the same as that of Chen Baxian today.

The Southern Qi court didn't do anything to him, on the contrary, he counterattacked with all his strength, turned back and became the emperor.

Chen Baxian felt that he was not a natural rebel, so he handed over Xiao Gang and Li Qianshi's head, and he just had to be soft.In the future, I will just be a governor of an outer town with peace of mind, and follow the orders of the imperial court to sit in Guangzhou, but I will not go to Jiankang, which is like a semi-independent state.

What's wrong with that?

If he could, why would he bite the bullet and make a move when he knew he couldn't defeat the Jiankang court's counter-insurgency army?

"Uncle? Uncle?"

Seeing that Chen Baxian was in a daze, Chen Qian tugged on his cuff and asked.

"It's okay, I was thinking just now that the imperial court's counter-insurgency army is here, we can also ambush them like today. The real enemy is only our own heart. As long as we are not afraid, there will always be a chance to defeat the opponent. "

Chen Baxian said confidently, but his two nephews felt that his uncle's smile seemed a bit forced.A lot of words, speaking out represents one's own attitude, it has nothing to do with the tone of voice.

The sneaky boyfriend repeatedly told his childhood sweetheart that he had been in love for many years that he only loved her and would never find other women. This in itself was a kind of guilty conscience.

If you are really not afraid, why bother with the imperial court's counter-insurgency army?
It's like whistling at night, if you're really not afraid, is that whistle meant for lonely ghosts on the side of the road?
Both Chen Qian and Chen Xu's expressions darkened, feeling the powerlessness of their uncle.

The center of the imperial court is too powerful, and the resources it possesses are incomparable to Chen Baxian!
"Forget it, let's go back, you organize the people to harvest the rice in the fields quickly, and don't get tired of doing things. I will take the soldiers here to clean the battlefield."

Chen Baxian said seriously to the two of them.

"Take orders, my nephew will go back now."

Chen Qian and Chen Xu led away. After they left, Chen Ba first looked at the corpses all over the ground in the stone forest, and let out a deep breath.

He ordered his soldiers to quickly clean up the battlefield, bury the corpses and then withdraw.

A waste like Li Qianshi has no ability to lead an army. Fighting such a weak chicken can naturally be like chopping melons and vegetables.But Liu Yishou's elite soldiers are not so easy to deal with!
The soldiers and horses under the command of Xiao Yi, King of Eastern Hunan, are also very powerful, but they are still only the enemy of the opponent, which already explains the problem.

Chen Baxian already has the intention to retire now, but he was pushed to the front, but he can't retreat if he wants to!

So many things have happened, and the petition has been issued. Could it be that if you give in to Liu Yishou, the other party can pretend that nothing happened?
It may not be impossible, but basically there is no need to count on it.

"Are you coming?"

Chen Baxian muttered to himself, looking at the water in the distance, he could vaguely see the soldiers and horses of the imperial court going south, coming in formation, with steady and ferocious steps!
Lingnan mountains are densely forested and full of miasma, but winter is much better than the other three seasons.If Liu Yishou does not come in winter, it means that the war will not come.

He will still come, right?

……

Chen Ba first made a statement to the court, saying that it was Xiao Gang who raised the rebellion, and Li Qianshi who supported Xiao Gang.He had wiped out Li Qianshi's trilogy and captured Xiao Gang, and now he sent this Marquis (named Marquis of Jing'an) to Jiankang to express that Guangzhou had no intention of rebelling against the imperial court.

Chen Baxian's envoy took Xiao Gang and his dozens of concubines before they left Shaoguan, and they were stopped by Yang Zhong as soon as they reached Nankang County.

Knowing that the situation in Guangzhou had changed, Yang Zhong sent someone to send an urgent letter non-stop. The messenger encountered the main force of the Chinese army led by Liu Yishou in Luling County, north of Nankang County, so he turned back to inform Yang Zhong and let him live Entertain Xiao Gang, don't be negligent.

Ten days later, Liu Yishou arrived in Gan County (Ganzhou City), the prefecture of Nankang County, and joined forces with Yang Zhong's vanguard army. In the government office, he saw Xiao Gang, who looked haggard and gray at the temples when he was less than 40 years old. .

And that Liu Yishou didn't know him at all, he didn't know who he was at all, he was just the head of Li Qianshi... that Mrs. Xian had mentioned.

The first time we met was to see the other party's head. To be honest, it made Liu Yishou quite embarrassed.Li Qianshi, the governor of Gaozhou, who was supposed to be dealt with by him, was actually dealt with by Chen Baxian, who was supposed to be an ally.

It has to be said that this is indeed an unspeakable irony.

Killing people and setting fire to the gold belt is a job with extremely high returns and high risks, and it is indeed not easy.

After sending someone to throw Li Qianshi's head in a mass grave, Liu Yishou bowed his hands to Xiao Gang who had been waiting for a long time, looked at him with a half-smile and said nothing.

"The sinner, Xiao Gang, has met King Wu."

Xiao Gang folded his sleeves with both hands in an unusual humility, bent down and made a big salute.

"I heard that my third uncle (Xiao Gang is the third eldest) lives in Guangzhou very comfortably. At the beginning, I thought that my third uncle had too many concubines, so I cut it by more than half, but now you have dozens more. Concubines... and there are many more children, these are true, or are those ignorant people spreading nonsense."

Liu Yishou took out a small file to trim his nails, sat down on the main seat in the hall of the government office, and asked casually.

"Not much, really not much, not much."

Xiao Gang couldn't help wiping the cold sweat on his forehead with his cuff. Obviously, although Liu Yishou was far away in Jiankang, he knew his daily life very well.

"It's not much, just over 20. Your increment is more than my stock!"

Liu Yishou raised his head to look at Xiao Gang, and said angrily, "After you left Jiankang, your sister Xiao Yujin only gave birth to one, but you actually gave birth to more than 20. She is very jealous of you, you know?"

"Is it the next one, is it the next one, please forgive me, King Wu..."

Xiao Gang kept apologizing, knowing that the other party was deliberately finding fault, but there was nothing he could do.

Situation is stronger than people, but the current Liu Yishou is really too strong!
Facing the hob-like meat of Xiao Gang, Liu Yishou was angry and funny.He didn't intend to do anything to Xiao Gang, he just wanted to tease the former Emperor of Liang.Unexpectedly, Xiao Gang has already developed antibodies after being repeatedly ravaged by various tyrants these years.

It doesn't matter, it's the same everywhere.Ever since this Hou Ye "gave up treatment", his heart has become wider and wider. No one can do anything to him, unless he is killed with a knife.

The meaning of Chen Baxian sending Xiao Gang is also very clear: I don't want to play anymore, how about we trade PY?
"Yang Zhong, send Lord Hou to rest. By the way, those wives and concubines who accompanied him should be rewarded to the lieutenant generals, and let them thank Lord Hou."

Liu Yishou turned his head sideways and said to Yang Zhong who had already "settled" beside him.

"Uh... my lord, the last general doesn't need it."

Yang Zhong asked with some fear.

"It's up to you, this kind of thing doesn't matter."

Liu Yishou waved his hand and asked Yang Zhong to take Xiao Gang away.

Today he intuitively felt what it means "a phoenix with shedding hair is not as good as a chicken". Now that Xiao Gang has no energy, he is already a dead person, a spiritually dead person.

"My lord, Chen Baxian doesn't want to play anymore! In this round, how can he not play if he doesn't want to?"

Wang Wei held Chen Baxian's handwritten letter and said bitterly, with a look of disdain.

To use Liu Yishou's words in his previous life, the current situation is: I have already opened a house, and you tell me that you are afraid of pain and stop playing?
The war machine has already been activated, and the knife is about to see blood when it is drawn out of the sheath. It is not because Chen Ba first said that he would not play, so he can not play!
"Chen Ba first won Li Qianshi, thinking that he had the conditions to bargain with me! If he takes his family to Jiankang, I promise not to play, and An An will take over Guangzhou with his troops steadily.

On the one hand, he said that he would not play anymore, and on the other hand, he wanted to be the local emperor in Guangzhou. How could there be such a good thing in the world! "

Liu Yishou waved his hand and said with a sneer.I don't know whether Chen Ba's ancestors were beautiful or not, but they thought beautifully.

This trip to the south to suppress the rebellion has won the support of many neutral factions and peripheral forces in Liang Guo. Others have made great efforts to provide money and food this time, and it is not for listening to Chen Baxian and Wu Nong's soft words!
The imperial army's anti-rebellion army went south to Guangzhou for the purpose of eating banquets, and whose banquets to eat. Chen Baxian didn't have much oil on his body, so he obviously didn't eat his banquets, but the local powerful ones in Guangzhou.

Guangzhou is remote and rich. Because of its special geographical location, it opened up overseas trade very early and accumulated a lot of wealth.

After the army occupies Guangzhou, it is definitely not to talk about benevolence, justice and morality with the local tyrants!After eating this wave of bonuses, Liu Yishou had the strength to go north to wrestle with Gao Huan.

Does this mean that you can stop if you stop?
Xiao Gang, Chen Baxian, etc. are all excuses for the court to suppress the rebellion. They can't just put up the slogan "I'm here to hang you on the telephone pole", right?
It was precisely this that Chen Baxian noticed, that's why he wanted to quit. Unfortunately, he still couldn't think about it, couldn't let go, and couldn't bear to part with it.

It is always said that a strong man cuts his wrist, but how many people have such determination and courage?

"The plan remains the same. We are temporarily stationed in Nankang County, waiting for news from Mrs. Xian. I hope Wang Lin and Wang Sengbian won't make Chen Baxian wait too long.

If Chen Ba is the first to take the blame and come to Nankang County to ask for his surrender, it will really make me unable to get down.When the time comes, what do you think I should do with him? "

Liu Yishou looked at Wang Wei and smiled.

"The subordinates are also afraid of this. In order to recruit surrenders and rebels in the future, if Chen Ba first asks to surrender, we really can't do anything to him, and even send someone to protect him. This is too aggrieved."

Wang Wei spread his hands helplessly, wishing in his heart that Chen Baxian would not be cowardly in this wave.If Chen Ba was persuaded first, Liu Yishou's return to Jiankang would be a good thing on the surface, but in fact he would be reduced to a laughing stock.

Just the fact that some neutral factions come to force the palace is enough for Liu Yishou to drink a pot.

"Who knows then?"

Liu Yishou said this, but he knew in his heart that the founding emperor of the Chen Dynasty in history would never be cowardly!
