Governor please stay

Chapter 620

"Xingyang is a strange place. It is often the battles that take place here that can determine the survival of a country."

Under the city of Xingyang, Liu Yishou looked up at the towering top of the city, wondering why such a majestic city never managed to stop the decline that shouldn't have happened.

When Chen Qingzhi came, Xingyang did not stop Chen Qingzhi, and later the Northern Wei Dynasty was substantially destroyed.

When Xiang Yu came, Xingyang also did not block Xiang Yu, and later Xiang Yu's Western Chu also died.

Cao Cao and Xu Rong fought in Xingyang. Cao Cao was defeated, but Xu Rong and Dong Zhuo's forces perished instead.

The Sui army and the Wagang army fought a decisive battle in Xingyang, and it didn't take long for the Sui army to die, and the Wagang village also died.

Xingyang, like the crossroads of the Central Plains countries, carries blessings or curses.Some of the people or forces who passed by here went the right way and made great strides along the way, establishing a new dynasty.

But there are also many who fell into a dead end and soon disappeared in the dust of history.

After ten years of fighting and experience, Liu Yishou is no longer the poor boy who was passionate but penniless.When he came to Xingyang, he didn't have any feeling about it, but now he can deeply feel the weight.

"In this situation, my lord, why don't you write a poem to inspire the soldiers to attack the city bravely?"

Seeing Liu Yishou sighing with emotion, Yang Xiuzhi beside him suggested in a low voice.

"That's fine."

Liu Yishou sighed, reluctantly said:
"The ancestors of the Han Dynasty conquered Qu Weishen, Xingyang lost discipline and burned.

At that time, the world fought against the dragon, who wrote the essay for the general? "

A simple atmosphere, a generous and tragic atmosphere rushed over.This is indeed Liu Yishou's style, even the battle-tested Yang Kan has to obey.

He clapped his palms and laughed loudly: "Wu Wang's poems have been spread all over the country, and they really deserve the word "both civil and military."

It's worth not mentioning the three-legged cat's kung fu of my lord!Yang Kan's flattery is not very good!

Yang Xiuzhi was secretly contemptuous in his heart, cupped his hands and asked Liu Yishou: "My lord, how about blowing up the city with gunpowder in Xingyang...to scare Wei Guo!"

Yang Xiuzhi is a flattering emperor, but sometimes what he says is not completely unreasonable.

"Shocking Xiao Xiao...it is indeed necessary."

Liu Yishou nodded thoughtfully.

"General Yang, send a letter to the city to persuade you to surrender. Just say that the king of Wu is benevolent and doesn't want to lose his life, and the soldiers will give up their lives in vain. If you are stubborn, our army will have to be ruthless in order to imitate others.

I really can't bear it. "

Liu Yishou looked compassionate.

It is indeed necessary to use explosives to blow up the city. This is a warning to those who are not open-eyed not to resist stubbornly.I, Liu, have a big weapon to blow up the city wall in my hand. Whoever blocks me will die. There is no city that can save your lives!
It seems wasteful to use a very limited amount of explosives on the city of Xingyang where there are not many soldiers and horses stationed, but it is actually very cost-effective.Because this will be a demonstration, a manifesto!It was clearly for those people staying in Yecheng to see!

Thunderbolt means to show the heart of a Bodhisattva, the cruelty now is for the benevolence in the future.

More importantly, Liu Yishou didn't have enough gunpowder in his treasury, so he couldn't blow up a few cities.Playing psychological warfare by killing chickens to warn monkeys is the correct way to play gunpowder.

"The king of Wu really loves his people like a son. The defenders of Xingyang will be the subjects of the king of Wu in the future, no different from the people of Jiankang. The king of Wu is now setting an example to others. When he fights in Hebei in the future, there will be fewer cities to resist. "

Yang Kan echoed Liu Yishou and said that he was very humble in front of outsiders, completely different from the unscrupulous father in front of Yang Jiang.

Yang Kan hadn't led troops before, so he didn't feel Liu Yishou's prestige in the army at all, and he thought highly of himself.And after this expedition, he could clearly feel that the entire military circle of Liang State was full of Liu Yishou's words!
The logistics and combat are closely connected, and Yang Min, who usually does not show the mountains and dews, is very effective in transporting grain, grass and luggage this time.

Moreover, the tens of thousands of Eastern Wei troops led by Hunting Gao Huan, and the various departments of the Liang Army, from logistics to combat, were basically under Liu Yishou's absolute control.

At first glance, this seems to be very common. How can there be a coach who can't control the logistics and steps when he goes out?

But if you think about all the cheating things since the Eastern Jin Dynasty, you can understand that it is not easy for a country's military, political and logistics to be coordinated!Even harder than defeating the enemy!

Cheating each other is the norm, but sincere cooperation is rare!

"Gao Huan was trapped in Xuanhu, the wall fell down and everyone pushed it. Let's not mention the world. Just write a letter and shoot it into the city."

Liu Yishou sighed lightly, and didn't say anything more about Yang Kan's deliberate flattery.

However, in the evening, the gates of Xingyang City were opened, and two thousand defenders led out of the city under the leadership of the general. The whole process was clean and smooth without any twists and turns.

These soldiers threw their weapons and armor aside, the general of Xingyang City walked up to Liu Yishou with an embarrassed expression on his face, bowed his hands and saluted, "Sinner Qiu Daqian, come to confess the crime to the King of Wu."

Not seeing each other for many years, Qiu Daqian not only didn't look haggard, but gained a lot of weight. His big belly trembled when he walked, like a shivering chicken in front of Liu Yishou.

When Liu Yishou entered the Liang Kingdom, there were northerners who quietly left the team because they didn't want to come to the south, among them was Qiu Daqian.It's just that he didn't know why he mixed up and became Xingyang's defender.

When there is no boss in charge, he has the final say on the city defense.When there is a big boss in charge, he becomes a younger brother, and nothing works.

Now Gao Huan went south to hang Hu, so there was no one in Xingyang who could talk, so Qiu Daqian, a "monkey", became the king.

Seeing Qiu Daqian, Liu Yishou understood why the plot was a bit different from what he thought. He predicted that the general of Xingyang should be steadfast and unyielding, and would live and die with the city.

Seeing Qiu Daqian's face with familiar memories, which had become unrecognizable again, dangling in front of him, Liu Yishou understood that he had to change the place to make an example of others.

Because Qiu Daqian knows better than anyone else what kind of means and level he is.Qiu Daqian, who had met Liu Yishou face to face, had a very intuitive and profound feeling about this!

In Qiu Daqian's heart, neither Chen Qingzhi nor Liu Yishou was easy to provoke.

So it would be better to surrender directly, after all, Gao Huan is not a father, so it is not worth working hard for!This logic is so rigid that it cannot be refuted.

"I haven't seen you for many years, but General Qiu is still handsome. It's just that the belly is also good. As expected, the food in the north is thicker.

The fruits and vegetables in the south do not grow meat. "

Liu Yishou held Qiu Daqian's hands, blinked at him, and teased him.

"How dare you be a sinner! Your Highness is joking, His Highness is the same as before."

Qiu Daqian laughed and bowed his hands in salute.

"Really? But you surrendered too quickly, and I didn't even have a chance to show off!

Otherwise, you can lead your troops back to Xingyang and pretend that you didn't surrender.I was itchy for a while, you asked me to lead troops to attack Xingyang City, how about showing me a hand to the soldiers under my command? "

Liu Yishou's words made Qiu Daqian die!
"Your Highness, please forgive me for my crimes! The soldiers in Xingyang City are innocent, please let them go. If they are guilty, I, someone in Qiu, will be fine!"

Qiu Daqian knelt down and bowed to Liu Yishou, his voice was crying, and his whole body was in cold sweat.

"Hey, I haven't seen you for so many years, you can't even joke about it, it's really a split! How can I be such a frivolous person that I don't take the lives of soldiers seriously?
get up! "

Liu Yishou personally helped Qiu Daqian up, and patted the dust off his body.

Qiu Daqian wiped the tears and cold sweat off his face in embarrassment, and heaved a long sigh of relief.Because of "knowledge and interest", he set an example for the cities that Liang Jun will conquer in the future, so his own life should be saved.

Yang Kan and Yang Xiuzhi watched the scene quietly, with thoughtful expressions on their faces.

……

Maxiang City is a small city, even strictly speaking, it can only be regarded as a "town". A city surrounded by fences and wooden walls on all sides can at most resist bandits.

Peng Le set up the camp next to Maxiang City and waited every day, but he didn't wait for the military order.He was so anxious that he was about to explode. Thanks to the counselors around him who kept comforting him, he didn't act excessively.

As the battle progressed, Liang Jun's "net collection operation" began, and Peng Le finally got the military order and... reinforcements from Jiankang!
"Hey, this time it's time to wait for the opportunity!"

Looking at Yang Zhong, who came from Shouyang with his servants, Peng Le said with excitement on his face.As for the opportunity he was talking about, it was of course a chance to cut off Gao Huan's dog's head!

"I have received the military order from the lord, and come to support your army. Xingyang has been captured by the lord, and Biankou has also been blocked. There is no doubt that the Wei army will run out of food. It's just that it will take time for the entire army to retreat.

The lord ordered you and me to be responsible for chasing the retreating Wei army. The time is just ten days later, so don't worry. "

Yang Zhong said calmly, sighing secretly in his heart.

His wife, Lu Kutao, was about to give birth, so she even thought of the name Yang Zhong. If she gave birth to a boy, she would call her Yang Jian, and if she gave birth to a daughter, she would call her Yang Lihua.

He even paved the road behind, regardless of the age of boys and girls, they were sent to Liu Yishou's Prince Wu's Mansion to raise them with Liu Yishou's sons and daughters, and cultivated their relationship since childhood.When you grow up, you will naturally get the moon first if you are close to the water.

At this time, how can you lead troops to go out!If Peng Le hadn't lost the battle before, he would be waiting for the birth of the child in Jiankang now!
"It's easy to say, and I will definitely obey orders."

Peng Le rubbed his hands with anticipation.

"General Peng, my lord has said something beforehand. There will be plenty of energy for this battle. The Wei army will run out of food and will be trapped in a desperate situation. We have to wait until they are all hungry and have no strength to fight. Therefore, there is no such thing as a fierce battle.

The lord told us to save Gao Huan's life, he must attack the heart first, please don't be arrogant.If the lord later learns that Gao Huan died at our hands.Then this expedition will not only be useless, but will also be punished, and letting Gao Huan go is also a felony, please be careful with General Peng. "

Yang Zhong said calmly.

Can't kill Gao Huan?

Peng Le was taken aback, if he couldn't kill Gao Huan with his own hands this time, then he would really have no chance in the future!

"General Yang, our lord's military order, we naturally have to obey. However, on the battlefield, swords have no eyes, and tens of thousands of soldiers and horses fight each other. If Gao Huan dies in the chaos, it is also a common thing.

With the deployment of the lord to plan a strategy and win thousands of miles, it is of course no problem for us to wipe out the Wei army.However, even so, there is no guarantee that Gao Huan will not die.

It would be too harsh if all punishments were to be imposed in this way. "

The counselor surnamed Li next to Peng Le argued to Yang Zhong.He shouldn't have come forward this time, but beheading Gao Huan was one of Peng Le's most important plans, and obviously he couldn't stop just because Liu Yi obeyed a military order.

Fight anyway.

"According to my lord's deployment, this time tens of thousands of Wei troops will let us chop like haystacks! There is no such thing as a fierce battle. If this cannot ensure that Gao Huan is captured alive, I can only suspect that General Peng is not good enough." Ken worked hard for the Lord."

Yang Zhong sneered twice, without even looking at the counselor surnamed Li, he handed the military order in his hand to Peng Le, turned around and left.

After he left, Peng Le and the counselor were like eggplants beaten by frost, all wilted, feeling joy and bitterness in their hearts.

The good news is: this battle should be a complete victory without any doubt.

The bitter thing is: there is a high probability that Peng Le is on Liu Yishou's blacklist, and Yang Zhong needs to come here to remind him.

This is obviously not a good thing for Peng Le!
"My lord, for today's plan, we can only win first. If you are hated by the King of Wu, the world is so big that there is no place for the lord to stand on. Looking at the current situation, there are not many obstacles for the King of Wu to rule the world."

A counselor surnamed Li persuaded Peng Ledao.

"Oh, that's the only way to go, but I don't know what King Wu thinks."

Peng Le let out a long sigh. With his wisdom, he obviously couldn't understand why Liu Yishou emphasized that Gao Huan must be saved.

……

Knowing that Xingyang was occupied by the Liang army, Gao Yang gave up Hulao Pass and Luoyang very sincerely, and even gave up his plan to cross the river from the Liang army's control area to return to Fangtou.

Instead, he took the two thousand (one thousand and five of which were recruits) Baibao Xianbei very honestly, all the way west to Heyang Pass and Beizhong City, and then went to Yewang City in Hanoi!Wait here for Duan Shao's news, and observe the battle situation by the way.

The loss of Xingyang became the last straw that crushed Gao Yang, making him decide to take the risk according to Duan Shao's plan!
The situation in Henan is hopeless, Gao Yang chose to give up treatment!If not, there must be a fierce battle between Liu Yishou's soldiers and horses in Xingyang and Gao Yang's Baibao Xianbei!
After weighing the current situation repeatedly, the eldest son Gao Huan helped up was very decisive... to sell his father Gao Huan.

At this moment Gao Yang was not thinking about how to fish Gao Huan out of the hanging gourd, or how to defeat Liang Jun who had already hit his nose.

Instead, consider how to control Yecheng, how to subdue the soldiers and horses who returned from Jinzhou to defend Yecheng, how to get the support of those elite tribal chiefs, and...how to defend Hebei and Jinzhou for the future.

As for Gao Huan, it's better to forget, after all, his father is not as important as himself.Gao Yang can still worship after his father dies, but if Gao Yang dies, his son will have to come to worship.

Gao Yang thought that he didn't have a son yet, so he thought it would be better for him to live.Dad or something, that kind of thing doesn't matter anymore.

However, what Gao Yang didn't expect was that there was someone in Yecheng who didn't want to follow the plan he set.
