Governor please stay

Chapter 636 Balance Master
Time goes back to the previous day.

Hu Luguang was in charge of escorting Gao Huan. Although thousands of cavalry swaggered, no one thought they were here to send Gao Huan to Yecheng.

There are two main reasons:
First, everyone knows that Gao Huan and Liu Yishou have a deep hatred, so arresting Gao Huan, putting him under house arrest or even killing him is the option that Liu Yishou should have.In any case, releasing Gao Huan is not something a hero should do.

Second, everyone knew that the Hulu clan had slapped Gao Huan hard before, but now that Hulujin and the others are almost independent in Youzhou, how could he send someone to escort Gao Huan?

Gao Yang deployed a lot of patrolling scouts along the Yellow River, just to catch the small team crossing the river.Although Hu Luguang's cavalry swaggered on the bright side, they were always in the dark under the lights.

Gao Yang encountered a setback once, so it was naturally impossible to send someone to contact Hu Luguang's men.

Liu Yishou arranged this bureau to take advantage of people's blind spots in thinking.

In the face of Gao Yang's sudden rise, Gao Huan can bear it, Hu Lujin can compromise, and all conflicts can be let go!
Gao Huan, Liu Yishou and others showed the super high political skills of the old coin. Even sworn enemies can temporarily join hands and cooperate for their own interests.

The world is too crazy, the mouse is a bridesmaid for the cat!For profit, nothing is impossible.

But having said that, how Gao Huan wanted to enter Ye City was quite a mind-consuming matter.

On the surface, it is not difficult for him to enter Yecheng, just say hello to the city gate officer.

But Gao Huan obviously couldn't be so reckless, he had to choose a more suitable way to enter.

If Gao Yang is prepared, then Gao Huan will probably be dealt with after entering the city, and then there will be a wave of framing.Gao Huan didn't dare to bet that Gao Yang found out with his conscience.

So Gao Huan not only wanted to secretly enter Yecheng, but also caught Gao Yang by surprise!Take the initiative firmly in your own hands!
Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to control the situation by surprise, and might not be able to control the current Gao Yang!Back then, Pei Gong sneaked into Han Xin's camp to seize power, which was the method he used.

There are no fathers and sons in the field of power, and Gao Huan dare not trust the ambitious Gao Yang who already smells the smell of meat!

So Gao Huan didn't go to Yecheng, but went to Yenan City, which was under construction on the south bank of the Zhanghe River. It was actually half a military camp and half a construction site, and the defense was relatively lax.

After entering the camp by surprise in the middle of the night, Gao Huan discovered that Duan Shao had gone to Yecheng to discuss the usurpation of the throne with Gao Yang, and the person staying in the camp was none other than his old brother She Digan!

Gao Huan is overjoyed, there is no unparalleled road!
He was originally worried that Duan Shao's mind was erratic and unstable, and he might kill him; at the same time, he didn't trust the so-called "family members" of the Bohai Gao family, such as Gao Yue and his like.

These people are all stalkers!Do not entrust your wealth and life to them!
Only old brothers like She Diqian, who have carried guns together, are the best candidates, the most trustworthy, none of them!

Of course, having said that, when She Digan and others decided to join Gao Yang, it was because Gao Huan was no longer there.These old brothers have no choice but to protect themselves in the new situation.

It is better to seek refuge with Gao Yang than to go all the way to the dark with Lou Zhaojun, and one of the two bad ones must always be slightly stronger.

But this does not mean that She Digan and the others were bought by Gao Yang and could be driven by Gao Yang!

Gao Huan told She Diqian that Gao Lang and Lou Zhaojun were also in his army.Once Yecheng is in trouble, they will go back to the north to regroup, so there is no need to worry about the road ahead.

On the surface, these words were meant to boost morale, but they were actually a faint warning to She Digan that he was still in control of the overall situation, and he was confident, and he was not a lost dog to be pinched.

Hinting She Digan not to get dizzy and hand himself over to Gao Yang!

However, She Diqian was not as extravagant as Gao Huan, and he was overjoyed to see Gao Huan return.When Gao Huan came back, their old brothers had a backbone, and Gao Yang naturally couldn't command him.

Gao Yang also has his own team. If he hadn't been desperate, who would have sharpened his head and squeezed into that circle?

Gao Huan learned from She Diqian that Gao Yang would ascend the throne tomorrow, and forced Yuan Shaozong to abdicate to the virtuous.He secretly thought that it was very dangerous, if he came back one step later, things would be difficult to deal with.

If Gao Yang succeeds in ascending the throne and the dynasty changes, Gao Huan's demolition of Gao Yang is also the demolition of Gao's. He is still slapping those old brothers in the face and making them embarrassed.

At that time, Gao Huan would have to consider how expensive it would be to flip the table.

It is estimated that nine times out of ten he will swallow the bitter pill, and Gao Yang will be the leader by default.

At first, Gao Huan didn't understand why Gao Yang had no fear and let Lou Zhaojun go, but he didn't cast a wide net to round him up.This is not like Gao Yang's style.

Now it seems that Gao Yang's idea is also very mature: after successfully usurping the throne, bind himself with the overall interests of the Gao clan, and then seek support as the emperor.

If anyone objects, it will turn the table over, and the price to be paid will be huge!

Gao Yang miscalculated only one thing: Liu Yishou would let Gao Huan go, and he would let go with almost no strings attached.The Eastern Wei Dynasty itself could not defend the area south of the Yellow River. The so-called "cedement" is nothing more than an acknowledgment of established facts, and it is not a shame.

Now Gao Huan came back in time!With Liu Yishou's unexpected backstab, Gao Yang lost everything with one careless move!All the hard work in the early stage was in vain, and only I knew the pain in my heart.

What happened later was very simple. Gao Huan ordered She Diqian to disobey Gao Yangyang, but just accepted all his orders, implemented every item, pretended to be cute, and tried to win Gao Yang's trust. Gao Yang already feels good about himself.

Then keep the news of Gao Huan's return strictly confidential.

Then Gao Huan blatantly took advantage of the opportunity of the two armies changing defenses, pretended to be an ordinary soldier, and entered Yecheng without anyone noticing, and then entered Yecheng smoothly under the cover and care of She Digan The palace became a soldier on duty, and waited for the opportunity to be triggered.

Coincidentally, Gao Yang did not allow Duan Shao's cronies to guard the palace on the day of enthronement, because he was worried that if Duan Shao was Lou Zhaojun's internal agent, he would die a miserable death!
So he could only arrange for She Diqian's part to do this.Because as long as Gao Huan never comes back, then She Digan and Gao Huan's old brothers have no reason to rebel!
Unexpectedly, the organ's calculations were too clever, and instead missed Qingqing's life.

So on the day of the court meeting, a scene of Gao Huan standing up to prevent Gao Yang from ascending the throne was staged.Gao Huan, an old coin, used his words and deeds to teach Gao Yang a lesson, telling himself this son who was almost a celebrity: Your father is still your father after all!

Ginger is still old and hot. If you want to change the dynasty, it's too early!
"Who forced the emperor to give way, stand up and let the truth see!"

Gao Huan was dressed in armor and looked majestic. He looked around at the ministers in the hall and asked.

Zhao Yanshen, Tang Yong and others who danced the most happily before retreated to the side and did not speak.Gao Huan is back, and if he plays the game of "giving way", wouldn't that be humiliating himself?
"The country's affairs are in decline, so naturally I and my ministers share the worries. When will it be the emperor's turn to abdicate to restore the country's power? You don't want to serve the country, and you spend a lot of time running around all day. It's really pissing me off!"

Gao Huan roared at the crowd, then turned around and bowed his hands to Yuan Shaozong, who was still in shock, and said righteously: "With the veteran here, your majesty can rest easy. If your majesty has nothing else to do, then I will retire." Bar.

There is no need to mention the matter of abdication. If I am here one day, Your Majesty will be an upright Son of Heaven. "

"Everything is arranged by Prime Minister Gao, so let's retreat."

Yuan Shaozong whispered, putting his heart back into his stomach.

Everything that happened today was too fantastic, and he hasn't recovered yet.Not to mention the uniqueness of abdicating halfway and being forcibly interrupted, it is considered a rare event these days.

Standing among the officials, Gao Yang had mixed emotions in his heart, to the point where he was on the verge of despair.At this moment, all the ministers acted as if Gao Yang didn't exist, and all the old gods were there, and they didn't know what they were thinking.

Gao Yang's ambition when he went out in the morning has now disappeared.Many things are tacit, although Gao Huan didn't point out anything now, it's just that the time is not up.

Now that Gao Huan is back, it is impossible to do nothing, and it is only a matter of time before Gao Yang is cleaned up.

At first Liu Yishou prepared two battles, but he only fought the first one.The expected reinforcements from the Wei army crossed the Yellow River to storm Xingyang to rescue Gao Huan, and then surrounded the spot to fight for reinforcements, but Gao Yang firmly suppressed it.

Who is Gao Huan? Can he not understand the situation?
With such a big commotion, Gao Huan couldn't guess that his son was playing tricks behind his back?
If he can dominate Hebei, wouldn't it be worth the little tricks his son did?
Gao Yang couldn't explain to Gao Huan, the more he explained, the more incompetent he would appear, so it was better to keep silent and stand upright to be beaten.

"Retreat!"

Following Yuan Shaozong's yelling like a duck's voice, the courtiers filed out and left the Tai Chi Hall.

After Gao Huan and his party returned to Ba Mansion, Gao Yang consciously led Baibao Xianbei out of Yecheng and handed over the control of Ba Mansion.All the troops were stationed outside the city, and then Gao Yang went into Ba's mansion alone, waiting for Gao Huan's fate.

Lou Zhaojun and Gao Lang followed Huluguang's men and horses into Yecheng, and then Huluguang led his troops back to Youzhou. In name, the Hulu department was still under the jurisdiction of Gao Huan and did not rebel.

It's as if everything in Yecheng is as usual, and there is no attempt by Gao Yang to usurp the throne!
That night, after hearing about Gao Huan's return to Yecheng, Duan Shao, who was not in Yecheng, said nothing and did not take care of anything. He sneaked into Yecheng on the grounds that the military situation was urgent, and took his half-sister Duan's family with him. He defected without bringing a single entourage with him, and then disappeared.

Almost everyone in Yecheng knew why Duan Shao ran away, because it was obvious: Duan Shao stood in the wrong line, and if he made a mistake, he would be beaten!He was arrogant and didn't want to be beaten, so he ran away!
Trees die, people live, there is nothing new under the sun.

Before Duan Shao thought that Gao Huan would not come back again, he chose Gao Yang, because of this incident, he has no place to stand in Hebei.Gao Yang took the initiative to stand up and wait for the situation. It is impossible for Gao Huan to reuse a person who stood by his son.

There is no need to say more about this simple truth.What's more, Duan Shao betrayed Lou Zhaojun to some extent!If Gao Huan could still let him go, then Lou Zhaojun will definitely settle accounts in the future!Stability is temporary, and liquidation is inevitable.

There are risks in standing in line, and you need to be cautious when speculating. It has been the same since ancient times. Duan Shao just paid the price for his failure to stand in line.

Sure enough, a few days later, Lou Zhaojun took charge of Duan's family and expelled Duan Shao from the family tree, and Duan Anning, his mother and younger brother, took over the position and title.In other words, Duan Shao was the only one who died.

The Duan family is also a big family in the north, and Lou Zhaojun also minimized the adverse effects.This can be regarded as Lou's explanation to Gao Huan (Duan Rong is Lou's son-in-law), and it can also be regarded as "trial in absentia" for Duan Shao.

Lou Zhaojun also showed his demeanor as a "political animal", and a series of combined punches were very smooth.

As for Gao Yang, Gao Huan was outside the town of Hanoi. He was the governor of Hanoi, named King Qi, and opened a government office in Hanoi. Along with him were Tang Yong, Zhao Yanshen and other cronies, all of whom were subordinates of Gao Yang's palace.

Now that the title has been released to the outside world, theoretically the title is on the same level as Gao Huan, so naturally he is no longer the heir to inherit the title, and Gao Yang automatically loses his position as the heir of the prince.

It also avoided fighting between father and son who stayed in Yecheng.Gao Huan unexpectedly raised the board high and put it down gently, which was a small punishment for Gao Yang.

Like Zhao Yanshen and others, Gao Yang's cronies or followers in Ye City traveled with Gao Yang to Hanoi.As long as they are related, they will all be stripped from the imperial center and the imperial army system, and serve in Hanoi!

In order to appease the Lou family and stabilize the hearts of the people in Hebei, Gao Huan appointed Gao Lang as his son, and Lou Zhaojun's younger brother Lou Zhao as the commander of the Chinese army, as his confidant.In order to appease the Hebei family, Gao Huan proposed marriage to the Li family in Zhaojun, and asked Gao Lang to marry Li Changyi as soon as possible.

Li Changyi, who was notoriously raped by Gao Cheng (the key point is that Gao Cheng is still dead), is now taken over by Gao Cheng's younger brother. Naturally, Li's people will not object, but Lou Zhaojun is very upset!

The marriage went through all the procedures within three days, even though Lou Zhaojun strongly opposed it, it was useless.

Five days later, Gao Lang and Li Changyi got married in Yecheng, and Gao Huan once again tied Zhao County Li's family firmly to his chariot!Without revealing Gao Lang's true identity, Gao Huan actually kept hanging on to that fig leaf.

Regarding Lou Zhaojun's different dreams in the same bed, he didn't even mention it, and always maintained a harmonious face.

After dealing with these chores, Gao Huan issued an imperial edict in the name of Emperor Yuan Shaozong, urging the autumn harvest in various places, so as not to delay the farming season.Efforts should be made to stabilize production and stabilize the hearts of the people at the grassroots level.

Under Gao Huan's operation, Hebei actually settled down in a short period of time.Even Liu Yishou was surprised.

Many things are precious only after they are lost.Although Gao Huan's ability to govern is very average, he seldom reads and can't make any showy operations.

But his ability to stabilize people's hearts is very strong, and he is also very good at coordinating the interests of various forces. He is a natural player who plays politics and power.

Hebei really needs someone with such skill to sit in the town so that there will be no chaos. If there is no Gao Huan, there is no need for others to attack, and Hebei will be in chaos by itself.No one can fix this big mess.

From this point of view, after Gao Huan returned to Yecheng, everything returned to the original track.

Yuan Shaozong is still the puppet emperor, there are still no apparent rebellions in various parts of Hebei, and Gao Huan still controls his own military power.Except for the loss of all the territory south of the Yellow River and the loss of tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, it seems that nothing has happened.

However, Duan Shao has defected, Gao Yang has been released, the Hebei family is ready to move, and the Gao brothers are independent from Hu Lujin and others. Can Gao Huan really be so big that nothing happened?

……

Outside Xingyang City, Liang Jun soldiers and horses from the brigade came from the south.Yu Jin came to Xingyang with a few troops to change his defense. Liu Yishou was overjoyed and went out of the city to meet him in person.

This time, tens of thousands of people in Gao Huan's trilogy were wiped out, and Yu Jin contributed the most. Liu Yishou has made Yu Jin the governor of Henan, Duke of Zhen, and general of Zhu.Yu Jin's arrival in Xingyang meant that Liu Yishou could finally return to Jiankang instead of staying at the front line.

There are still many major affairs to be done in the country of Liang, and Liu Yishou has no time to stay in the north.Taking advantage of the autumn harvest, when the soldiers are full of food and grain, it is time for the center to propose the next plan.

Now Gao Huan's soldiers and horses have been crippled, and the seeds of disintegration have been planted inside, laying a strong foreshadowing for future events.Liu Yishou felt that it was time to return to Jiankang.

At the same time, it's time to put a lot of messy things on the agenda.

For example, adding nine gifts or something, although there is no need to do it now, it is also necessary to strengthen the centralization of power.The new era and the new wind direction, how the policy wind blows, the officials below will naturally know what to do!Liu Yishou felt it was necessary to make some changes.

"My lord letting Gao Huan go back to Hebei is like letting a tiger go back to the mountains. There will be endless troubles. Without Gao Huan, Hebei's people will be difficult to unify, so the lord can take advantage of the chaos. Putting down the chaos in a year is no problem."

In the study room of Xingyang government office, Yu Jin said with some regret.Although he knew in advance that Liu Yishou would release Gao Huan, he still felt it was a pity.

"In winter, our army's logistics are quite difficult. It's okay to stick to Xingyang, but it's not enough to be aggressive. If Gao Yang used the banner of avenging Gao Huan to gather the hearts of the people in Hebei, with the mentality of self-preservation above all, they might not be powerless to fight.

Even if our army is lucky enough to win, the lack of food and grass will not be able to maintain the offensive.

Letting Gao Huan go, we won the hearts of the people morally and showed the mind of our teachers of benevolence and righteousness;

Politically, we disgusted Gao Yang and divided the Gao family, making them hostile to each other and wary of each other, making it difficult to form a joint force;
In terms of military affairs, we stopped the war at an appropriate time, which prevented our army from falling into a quagmire, and allowed the parts that had been fighting continuously for several months to be repaired and supplemented.

Being able to start a war is not a skill, but being able to end a war is considered a skill.Our army fights when it wants to, and talks when it wants to. This is the so-called overall control.

Who is superior and who is inferior, can the world really not understand? "

Liu Yishou talked eloquently, not paying attention to Jin's question.It is normal for the two to stand at different heights and have different ideas.As a general, even if Yu Jin is in charge of the battle, he can't see farther than the emperor of a country.

Now Liu Yishou is the de facto emperor of the Liang Kingdom. Although he is only called the King of Wu, no one really treats him as the "King of Wu".

Liu Yishou let Gao Huan go, not for Gao Ling, not for Lou Zhaojun, all for the long-term future, for better and faster domination of the world.

This is a political battle, not the courage of a man, let alone the benevolence and sentimentality of a woman.

"My lord's words are very true. This subordinate just feels a pity, not that there is anything wrong with this move. Letting Gao Huan go won our hearts and paved the way for the next action. This subordinate has no objection."

Yu Jin said with a sigh.

He also had to admire Liu Yishou's political manipulation.A series of actions are like flowing water, politics and military are both pronged to maximize the benefits and dismember the Eastern Wei Dynasty step by step.

To sum it up in four words: Paodingjieniu!

"Xingyang is handed over to you. Keep an eye on He Bayue in the west and Gao Huan in Hebei. There are no troubles."

A cold light flashed in Liu Yishou's eyes, and he immediately fell into confusion.

It's impossible for He Bayue in Guanzhong not to know about Gao Huan's commotion, but what the hell is he doing? Why doesn't he move at all?Of course, he can only find a way to figure out this problem in the future. The big thing now is to return to Jiankang with elite soldiers and continue to reorganize the army.

"My lord, why do you disdain Gao Huan?"

Seeing Liu Yishou lost in thought, Yu Jin asked curiously.

"Ever since Gao Yang crossed the Yellow River with no troops to rescue, I knew that the internal conflicts in Hebei could not be reconciled, and in the future they could only stop killing with killing. Under such circumstances, how could they lead troops to cross the Yellow River? After crossing the river, no matter whether they win or lose, What else can they get?"

Liu Yishou asked Yu Jin a question that he didn't know how to answer.
