Governor please stay

Chapter 87 Vegetable Chicken VS Chicken Chicken

In ancient China, Xingyang can be said to be the closest city to Hulaoguan. How close is it? According to modern map measurements, the straight-line distance is probably less than [-] kilometers away.

So, is Zheng Yan really that stupid, didn't he know how to occupy Hulao Pass and spy on Luoyang?
In fact, he is not that stupid, it's just that he has no way or choice.

There is a saying in biology called "stress response". When your arm is touched by someone, you will immediately retract it. In some cases of high vigilance, you may even throw your fist out.

Zheng Yan was also very afraid that Er Zhurong's "stress reaction" would be caused after he sent troops to occupy Hulao Pass, so he sent troops directly to destroy him!In fact, this is also a helpless choice in desperation.

Luoyang is known as the "small four fortresses". In fact, with the development of the times, the surrounding defenses have already been riddled with holes. At this time, Luoyang has been called "the capital of the nine roads", that is, there are nine passes, all of which can reach Luoyang directly.

The value of Hulao Pass has been greatly reduced, so on the other hand, Zheng Yan probably doesn't think much of it either, it's not worth it if it's of no use to stimulate Er Zhurong.

In a stone house inside Hulao Pass, Yu Jin was explaining the terrain outside Hulao Pass to Liu Yishou.After leaving the pass is Xingyang, to the north is Guandu, an important ferry on the south bank of the Yellow River, and on the other side of the river is Fangtou City.

With Fangtou City as the core, several counties on the north bank of the Yellow River formed Liyang County.A little further to the northwest of Liyang County is Yecheng.This area is densely covered with water networks (at that time, it was regarded as the boundary of Hebei, and the ecological environment had not been seriously damaged), and the Zhang River, Wei River, and Qi River converged, allowing water transportation to be used.

"So, if you leave the Hulao Pass, it means that there is no danger to defend, and you have to guard against being hit on the head at any time?"

Liu Yishou asked curiously.

Yu Jin nodded silently and said: "Although your statement is not accurate, it is not too far off. Cao Cao and Yuan Shao's battle at Guandu was to defend the node of Guandu.

Going further north, crossing the river to Liyang, and defending Fangtou City, it is tantamount to choking the throat of Yecheng.How can this be called safe and secure? "

What Liu Yishou said was "absolute safety", similar to places like Tongguan.And what Yu Jin said was "relative security", isn't it necessary to occupy such nodes one by one when marching, so that the army can deploy.

Otherwise, even if you have an army of millions, you will still suffer defeat.

"so what?"

Liu Yishou asked in a low voice.

Yu Jin stood up, opened the door of the stone house, looked around, saw that no one else was there, and quickly closed the door.

He walked up to Liu Yishou and asked in a very small voice, "Are you planning to go back to Luoyang?"

Yu Jin stared into Liu Yishou's eyes and asked.

Er Zhurong just "sent" Liu Yishou and others out of Hulao Pass to attack the rebellious Zheng Yan.After cleaning up Zheng Yan, you should return to Luoyang immediately, otherwise, how can you say that you are Er Zhurong's subordinate?
But if Liu Yishou, Yu Jin and the others don't want to go back, what if they find all kinds of excuses not to go back?

This is essentially a betrayal. As long as Er Zhurong is not stupid, he will definitely send someone to ask for an explanation.Otherwise, if he followed suit, his own team would fall apart.

So now Yu Jin seems to be asking if he wants to go back to Luoyang, but he is actually torturing Liu Yishou's heart.

Do you want to hang out with Er Zhurong in the future?

"Brother Yu, I've been thinking about your question for a long time. Let me ask you this way. You also got married in your hometown, with a wife and children, right?"

There is no doubt about this, it is impossible for Yu Jin to be in her 30s without getting married and having children.

"That's right, there's nothing to say about that."

Yu Jin nodded without denying it.

"Look, although I can't be regarded as a family member now, I'm not alone, right?"

Liu Yishou also looked serious, not joking.

"Indeed."

"So, what I do, I can't just say I'm good. I have to think about the people who rely on me, right? It doesn't matter if I jump into the fire pit alone, and I can't jump into the fire pit with them, right?"

"Yes, you spoke very well."

Yu Jin nodded, he already knew Liu Yishou's answer, even if the other party didn't say it.

"Er Zhurong holds great power in his hands. However, he is a person with an unstable will, and his family is weak, so he is not allowed to make mistakes.

In other words, he is a person who is prone to make mistakes, but he does not have enough capital to make mistakes. Once he makes a wrong decision, he will completely collapse.

There is a saying that under the overthrow, there is a complete egg, and you have to have a lot of guts to hang out with Er Zhurong, or you will be scared to death by him sooner or later. "

Liu Yishou pointed out Er Zhurong's biggest problem straight to the point, in a nutshell: this person is not worthy of being a master, and will kill all his cronies.

Following Er Zhurong will only lead to two results.

Either always think about rebelling against him, or prepare to go all the way to the dark with him, and the whole family will be buried with him.

"I was thinking about how to persuade you, after all, Er Zhu Ying'e treats you... the idiot can also see it, I thought you would take the opportunity to ride the wind and rise.

I didn't expect you to have seen it through. "

Yu Jin let out a long sigh, feeling that he had underestimated Liu Yishou's character and courage again.But the other party said so, it saves a lot of trouble, at least both of them want to go together.

"Then what are you going to do? After cleaning up Zheng Yan, we will be in Xingyang. This is the key point from east to west, north to south, and we can go anywhere.

The question is, where are we going? "

Go west from Xingyang, return the original road, this road has already been passed, both Liu Yishou and Yu Jin feel that they cannot take this road.

Is that east, north, or south?
Seeing that Liu Yishou was silent, Yu Jin continued: "To the east, money and food are abundant, but the area is small and there are many bandits."

Liu Yishou didn't speak, but just shook his head.

Just kidding, going east is the Jiaozhou Peninsula, Er Zhurong will drive him into the sea!

"To the south is to go to Lianghuai... I don't see any way out other than surrendering to Liang."

It may not be a way to follow Emperor Wu of Liang.From the perspective of the current era, it is actually very attractive.But Liu Yishou is very clear about what will happen in the future, and he also knows the nature of those aristocratic families in the south.

Ten years of stability is nothing more than ten years, after ten years, it will turn from chaos to chaos.

"Er Zhurong, soon there will be massacres in Luoyang."

Liu Yishou breathed out a foul breath, and said helplessly: "It is estimated that many people will be killed. I can see it, and there is no way to stop it. There are many things that cannot be repeated. Er Zhurong's patience with me also has a limit. "

Will Er Zhurong listen to Liu Yishou? In fact, he will.But after he killed the Duke of Luoyang and caused serious political consequences that could not be dealt with, he would not remember Liu Dudu's kindness.

But now if you talk about it, it will only make the other party feel disgusted.

Death is not ruled out.

"so what?"

"That's why all the princes of the Yuan family who acted as the Ping Fan in the south of Wei State will all give up their picks and quit, and then attack Luoyang with great fanfare under the cover of Liang State!

Going south, we have to prevent people from thinking we are Er Zhurong's cronies and using our heads to sacrifice the flag.

Furthermore, going south is extremely sensitive, and I'm afraid that Er Zhurong's cavalry will catch up with me if I don't go too far. This road can only be traveled by you and me alone. "

If they go on the road alone, it means that all their hard work in the past few months will be wiped out, and it will not even be as good as before.

"It seems that going south is not an option. Then we can only... go north?"

Yu Jin felt a little ridiculous, after all, he was still under Er Zhurong's nose.Now who doesn't know that Er Zhurong is going north, if you go north, Er Zhurong will not doubt you.

But you can't get away either!
"It's just the lesser of two evils. After I kill Zheng Yan, I plan to rectify the army in Xingyang, and then find a chance to cross the Yellow River and occupy Fangtou City and Liyang County. Take a gamble!"

It was an interesting gamble, betting on whether Ge Rong would dislike them and send troops to attack Li Yang.If it's possible, it's possible.

But the actual situation is hard to say.

Because once Liu Yishou and others occupy Li Yang, Er Zhurong will try his best to keep Li Yang from falling!If Li Yang falls, there will be no bridgehead and water transportation base to advance to Ye City.

You can't use your head to confront Ge Rong head-on, can you?

"It's a bit interesting that you use advance as retreat."

Yu Jin frowned and thought.It has to be said that the biggest advantage of Liu Yishou's plan is that it can completely dispel the suspicion of Er Zhurong and his cronies.

At least, make sure that you won't be wiped out by Er Zhurong.

As for what Ge Rong will do to them, who knows?How can there be such a good thing in the world, all good things are given to you without taking risks?
There has never been such a good thing in the world!
"Let's take one step at a time. Anyway, it's not as safe as Luoyang."

Yu Jin sighed, also helpless.There is a price to pay for freedom. While gaining the protection of powerful figures, you will also lose your freedom and become a running dog.

"I'm just curious. You clearly knew that Er Zhurong was going to kill in Luoyang, why didn't you warn me? You did so many things before?"

"I have done a lot for the people of Luoyang. If you are a little smarter, you should understand that Er Zhurong and the others will not leave Luoyang unless they are full of food and drink.

I have bought time for them, but my feet are growing on those people, and they won't leave, what can I do?People who are still dreaming of the Spring and Autumn Dream at this time, shouldn't they...should be vigilant? "

Yu Jin understands that although Liu Yishou seems to be very powerful in maneuvering, in fact, what he wanted to do, he still failed to achieve in the end.After all, this is a chaotic world, no matter how good you are at dancing, you can't reason with someone who is holding a knife and eager to try.

Their departure to Xingyang is actually a kind of silent "admission", admitting that their abilities are limited and that they are powerless.

Then, think of other ways to survive, and have the ability to save this world.Although Liu Yishou didn't mention anything, Yu Jin felt that he must have figured it out.

"Li Hu...how do you want to deal with it?"

Yu Jin asked in a low voice.

From a certain point of view, Li Hu is Er Zhurong's "supervisor" in their team, so that Liu Yishou and Yu Jin can't mess around.

"After defeating Xingyang, ask him. We always have to be courteous first and then soldiers. If he wants to leave, then let him take the brothers who are willing to leave with him. It doesn't matter how many people leave.

If there are no soldiers, we will recruit soldiers.If there is no general school, we will train generals; if there are no talents, we will discover talents. As long as we want to do it, what can’t be done? "

"That's right, don't think about Er Zhurong, let's go to Liyang and do something big."

Yu Jin patted Liu Yishou on the shoulder and laughed loudly.

"Isn't it? There is no way out."

……

Two days later, Cui Xiaofen came back.Coming back with him was a middle-aged scribe who was handsome but had an obviously arrogant attitude.

"Captain, this is Zheng Yanzu, who was born in the northern ancestor of the Zheng family in Xingyang."

Cui Xiaofen introduced with a smile, and frowned calmly, very dissatisfied with Zheng Yanzu's condescending attitude.

"Show this governor our sincerity."

Zheng Yanzu said to Cui Xiaofen calmly, his tone was not very respectful.

Cui Xiaofen was very self-restraining, she didn't say much, she just asked a servant to open a box, inside was a human head pickled with lime.

"This is Zheng Yan, who was born in the Southern Ancestor. They gave us face and took him down with their own hands. The governor has now seen our sincerity."

This person named Zheng Yanzu still smelled of alcohol, Cui Xiaofen had no choice but to smile bitterly.Originally it was the clever and quick-witted Zheng Shuzu who came here, but Zheng Yanzu volunteered to come.

I don't know what kind of medicine is sold in the gourd.

To capture Zheng Yan, it was the northern ancestral house of the Zheng family in Xingyang who came forward to beg for him from the weaker southern ancestral house.A major event settled after a series of bargaining.

It can be said that it has nothing to do with Zheng Yanzu, but his younger brother Zheng Shuzu personally participated in the discussion, and strongly suggested that Zheng Yan be handed over and expelled from the Xingyang Zheng family tree to preserve the family.

This credit was taken by Zheng Yanzu as an arrow.

Although Liu Yishou has no background and qualifications, he also has soldiers in his hands!The elegant Qiu Ba, isn't he Qiu Ba?

Cui Xiaofen pulled Zheng Yanzu's cuff calmly, implying that he should not jump too high.

"Come on, this Mr. Zheng is drunk. You send him back to his room to rest. Without my order, no one should disturb him. The barracks is chaotic. In order to prevent Mr. Zheng from getting drunk, please don't let him out of the room, you know?" ?”

Liu Yishou gave orders to the soldiers with a smile, and made a gesture of invitation to Zheng Yanzu.

"You want to put me under house arrest? Do you dare to put me under house arrest?"

Zheng Yanzu was a little sober, and looked at Liu Yishou in disbelief.And Yu Jin who was beside him acted as if he was asleep, watching his nose with his eyes and his heart with his nose, and didn't say anything.

"Where is there, how can it be said that it is under house arrest. It's not that the world is in chaos now. In my barracks, there are many and rude Qiuba. If you offend Mr. and cause something, it will be bad, isn't it?"

Liu Yishou smiled and waved his hands, and two burly soldiers grabbed Zheng Yanzu's arms and dragged him out of the signing room.

After Zheng Yanzu's figure disappeared, he helplessly spread his hands to Cui Xiaofen and said, "Cui Changshi did not do this properly, why did such a bastard come here?"

"I can't understand it either, but I feel that this person should not be so reckless. Zheng Yanzu is notoriously greedy in the Zheng family. You have to be careful, Commander."

Cui Xiaofen said seriously.
