Governor please stay

Xiao Yi was ruthless this time, if he failed and could not break through Jiankang, he must kill Wang Sengbian before he died!

Wang Sengbian got so much power in his hands at once, and he refused sincerely and fearfully, but he was appointed by Xiao Yi forcefully, and he could not be defied.The scholar died for his confidant, Wang Sengbian also went all out, and issued three orders in a row.

The first way: learn from Wang Lin's ideas, recruit desperadoes and powerful servants of aristocratic families around Jiankang, organize these people, and form an army alone.

Taking Wang Lin's deputy general Lu Na as the governor, he led these people to confiscate all the homes of rich households and aristocratic families in Jiankang City, and used the confiscated things to recruit daredevils, thinking that they were the vanguard of the army.

This force was named "Rebel Army".

And if other members of Wang Lin's subordinates go to rob again, they will catch one and chop the other.In this way, Wang Lin's elite troops were released.

The second way: adjust Wang Lin's department, send troops from the Yangtze River and Jiankang City, and storm Stone City.

The third way is to erect a stone catapult on the south bank of the Qinhuai River and throw stones at the Taimiao and Taishe not far away!

The third order was particularly vicious. Wang Sengbian asked Xiao Yi for instructions. Although such a rebellious move has a strong deterrent effect in the military, isn't it a bit taboo?

Xiao Yi immediately said: Everything is Xiao Gang's fault!After occupying Jiankang, things like smashing the Taimiao with a trebuchet were all done by Xiao Gang's people, and have nothing to do with you.

If you can't be the emperor, what's the use of this Taimiao?Xiao Yi thought very clearly, the sky is big and the earth is big, and he is the biggest emperor.For Taimiao or something, it would be nice to build another one after being smashed.

Going down with three tricks, the effect is immediate.

A group of people from the rebellious army were smashing and looting in Jiankang City. Whoever did not support Xiao Yi's army from aristocratic families and wealthy households, Wang Sengbian sent these people to sit at their home and "discuss and discuss".

The smashing of the Taimiao even discredited Xiao Gang in Taicheng, and his legitimacy was greatly questioned.

Taimiao is the ancestral temple of ancient Chinese emperors, symbolizing the legitimacy of the regime.

In other words, the ancients paid attention to the "unity of man and nature", and you have the Taimiao, which is the lineage of the emperor recognized by the heavens, and has the power to "guard the four directions".Xiao Gang is weak and incompetent, why he can occupy Jiankang, isn't it because he was Xiao Yan's "Prince" before his death.

Now that Xiao Yi is smashing the Taimiao, Xiao Gang is powerless to stop it, this legitimacy is just being slapped in the face.

Of course, Xiao Yan also has a tablet in this ancestral temple. It stands to reason that if Xiao Yi can become emperor in the future, there will also be a tablet in it.In doing so, he slapped himself in half the face.

But Xiao Yi didn't care at all, anyway, he was not an orthodox successor, no matter what the banner was, it was a rebellion to put it bluntly.It doesn't matter if you don't do anything, it doesn't matter if you smash the Taimiao.

This is exactly what people often say "too much debt does not weigh you down", what should be done or what should be done.

Wang Sengbian adopted the method of "encircling the city from the countryside" and cut off all support for Taicheng and Liu Zhongli and others by means of "playing hooligans".

Sure enough, under heavy pressure, Stone City, which was short of troops, surrendered first.Xiao Yi was extremely magnanimous at this time, not only pardoned the guard of Stone City, but also did not deprive the opponent of his official position, and still let him lead the troops to garrison Stone City.

As soon as this example was opened, small cities around Taicheng, such as Dongfu City, Xizhou City, Danyang County City and other "cities within cities" surrendered to Xiao Yi one after another.All of a sudden, Xiao Yi's army surged in strength!

Seeing the Taimiao being smashed, Xiao Gang couldn't cope with it. In Jiankang City except Taicheng, many people would "vote with their feet".Today, the Liu Zhongli Department on the north bank of the Qinhuai River is like a flat boat in the flood, "shivering" in the storm.

……

Taicheng was not yet tightly surrounded by Xiao Yi at this time, and there were still messengers who delivered the letter to Xiao Ying's desk in Wu Xing.Xiao Ying had no one available, so he could only ask Chen Ba to discuss important matters first.

"Xingguo (written by Chen Baxian), now the fire is imminent, should we send troops?"

Xiao Ying, who was seated in the study, spoke eagerly, and he was already a little impatient.After all, judging from the current situation, Taicheng may fall at any time.

"Your Highness, in fact, sending troops now is not the best time, you can wait a little longer."

Chen Baxian said calmly, there are some things he can't say clearly, but I believe that with Xiao Ying's wisdom, it should still be understandable.

"But if you wait any longer, then... eh?"

Xiao Ying seemed to have figured out some indescribable problems.

Seeing that the other party had come to his senses, Chen Baxian said meaningfully: "This kind of thing, it's better to be late than too early. If the King of Xiangdong takes over Jiankang, we will lose a lot, but that's all.

As long as we put the responsibility of killing the king on Xiao Gang, then the king of Xiangdong will also hold his nose and admit it.

At that time, it will not be difficult for His Royal Highness to take over the Three Wus and supervise half of the military forces in Huaiyang. "

The icing on the cake is of course not as touching as giving charcoal in the snow.But the problem is, icing on the cake is a hundred times better than handing the opponent a knife!If this battle is in a state of extreme anxiety, then, of course, Xiao Gang's best interests can be guaranteed by coming here.

But in case it's too late, or if it's too late, acknowledging Xiao Yi as the new emperor is also a way out.

However, once you go early and you don't turn back, if you and Xiao Gang's soldiers are still no match for Xiao Yi's elite soldiers, then the fun will be great!

In a simple sentence, it is a hand full of good cards and a bad hand.Therefore, what Chen Baxian said just now can be said to be putting himself in Xiao Ying's shoes, without any selfishness.

"What Xingguo said is true, it's just that this king... is uncomfortable watching from the sidelines."

Xiao Ying said with a sigh.

I don't know whether it's because of the itch that I can't beat the enemy hard, or because Xiao's Taimiao was smashed to pieces by Xiao Yi.Xiao Ying understood even more that Xiao Yi could even do such a thing as smashing the Taimiao, so naturally he didn't care about killing a few clans.

If you offend that one, you really have to weigh carefully what will happen.

"Your Highness, didn't Zhao Bochao come to seek refuge with us? Besides, Jingkou has already been captured by Xiao Lun? We might as well wait until Xiao Lun sends troops. Xiao Lun is not in a hurry, why is Your Highness so anxious?"

Chen Baxian is no longer hinting at this, but expressing it clearly.

"It makes sense."

Xiao Ying nodded, agreeing with Chen Baxian's opinion.

"By the way, Liu Yishou from Lianghuai...what is he doing now?"

Xiao Ying asked with some doubts.

When he was the governor of Matou County, Xiao Ying was deeply impressed by Liu Yishou's endless dirty methods.Now that the Liang country is in chaos, there is no reason why that person can't come out to make trouble, it's simply unreasonable.

"When His Highness asked, it seems that there is really no news. On the other hand, Webster in Hefei stationed troops on the other side of Wuhu, and his intentions are unknown. Could it be that he is also thinking of King Qin like us?"

Chen Baxian said to himself thoughtfully.

Although Yang Zhong was in command of that army, the banner was played by Webster.Liu Yishou deliberately kept a low profile, causing many people to lose their vigilance.

"Liu Yishou, who came from the north, will be troublesome if he breaks the ground and throws himself into Wei in the future."

Xiao Ying looked pensive, feeling that there was a lot of uneasiness here, but she couldn't tell what the uneasiness in her heart was for.

Chen Baxian forced a smile and said, "Your Highness, no matter how much Liu Yishou struggles, one thing is certain. The foundation of the Liang Kingdom is still there, and no matter which vassal of the Xiao Clan is going to take that position in Taicheng, it is understandable.

Only a son-in-law like Liu Yishou couldn't sit in that position, otherwise he would be attacked by all the crowd. "

Chen Baxian's words were on point, and Xiao Ying also thought that with Liu Yishou's treacherous and cunning energy, it was absolutely impossible to say that he made such a big mistake.

"The words of Xingguo are indeed good."

Xiao Ying nodded slightly, noncommittal.

Chen Baxian's words can indeed explain some things, but he still doesn't think that Liu Yishou will give up this golden opportunity so easily!

With the status of a son-in-law, Liu Yishou is different from the general local tyrants, he is capable of interfering in the central government of the Liang Kingdom.The only function of Xiao Yujing's vase is to give Liu Yishou the identity he must have.

Don't underestimate this status, if you really are not a son-in-law these days, it will be stressful to call out the king of attendance for rebellion.If you have this identity, it will be completely different. After all, this is a state matter and a family matter.Both emotion and reason will be generally understood by the world.

Although the fig leaf is thin, it is much stronger than a naked Guoben.

Seemingly seeing Xiao Ying's worry, Chen Baxian cupped his hands and said, "There is a section in Pogangdu called Baoyan, where the water level of the river is the highest, and human power is needed to pull the boat through Pogangdu.

The subordinates are willing to personally lead the vanguard to break through Gangdu, station troops in Baoyan, and guard the waterway.Now Liu Zhongli's men are there, there are only a hundred of them, so it's nothing to worry about.

Occupying this place, you can enter Jiankang from the Qinhuai River, and retreat to Wuxing through the Taihu waterway. It is a key place that can be attacked and defended. "

Don't look at Chen Baxian never suggesting to send troops to Jiankang immediately, in fact, he has been making preparations behind his back, and he has already made a record in his stomach.Hearing Chen Baxian's narration, Xiao Ying was overjoyed, and quickly told him to send troops to break Gangdu immediately, and wait in Wuxing with other parts, ready to go at any time.

As for Wu Xing's other powerful teams, it's hard for those people to keep them secret, so it's better not to inform them yet.

After Chen Ba left first, Xiao Ying fell into deep thought alone.He always felt as if he had overlooked some important issue, but he couldn't remember it for a while.

……

Although Gao Cheng's affair with Gao Huan's concubine Zheng Dache caused a lot of trouble, the influence was strictly limited within the Bafu, and it did not cause any disturbances.

Gao Huan is also unwilling to delay on these unnutritious things.He has a big heart and a long-term vision, and he doesn't want to get entangled in family ethics at all.

Of course, if Zheng Dache gave birth to a son for Gao Cheng, that would be a different matter.

On this day, Gao Huan summoned the members of the Overlord Mansion to discuss in the study, and the focus was on the drastic changes in Liang Guo's political situation!

Xiao Yan was assassinated and died, even if Gao Huan's subordinates were all deaf and blind, he should know what happened in the south at this moment.In fact, Gao Huan's intelligence channels to the south were unobstructed, and he knew no less than Liu Yishou.

Xiao Yan's assassination, the chaos of the Xiao clan's vassal kings, even Xiao Yi's troops to Jiankang, which was overwhelming, and Lan Qin's defeat and death in Wuhu, all these things have been sorted out and placed on Gao Huan's desk.

Liang Guo is in great chaos, should we take the opportunity to come here, at least robbing some people and money back, Gao Huanba's mansion is looking forward to it.

Gao Cheng was severely reprimanded by Gao Huan for having an affair with his concubine's mother. However, he still appeared in Gao Huan's study in a grand manner, along with Zu Ting, Cui Jishu and others who spoke for him. .

Public is public, private is private, Gao Huan is worthy of being a hero, able to endure what ordinary people can't!Letting Gao Cheng attend the important military meeting of the Ba Mansion is undoubtedly to show everyone that the position of heir is still Gao Cheng's.

"Xiao Yan is dead, and his sons started fighting. How do you think we should deal with it?"

Gao Huan looked around at the crowd and asked.

He suddenly noticed Zu Ting, who had pleaded for his son Gao Cheng before, which was very impressive.

"Zu Ting, um, Zu Xiaozheng, you go first."

Gao Huan pointed at Zu Ting and yelled, this could be regarded as deliberately making things difficult for him.

"Back to King Gao, the so-called God can't take it, you must be blamed. Now that the Liang Kingdom is in chaos, it is time for us to attack the city and conquer the Yangtze River. The subordinates suggest sending troops to the Huaihe River immediately."

Zu Ting said excitedly.

What he didn't expect was that everyone in the study looked indifferent and disdainful except for Gao Cheng who was eager to try.Everyone, including Gao Huan, disagreed with Zu Ting's suggestion.

With such similar attitudes from these people, Zu Ting couldn't help but feel that he had overlooked something.

"King Gao, now Liu Yishou's troops are waiting in Shouyang, and even sent more troops to Pengcheng to garrison the fields. It seems that we can't take advantage of it for the time being. It's not too late to observe first and then make a decision."

Sun Teng stood up and suggested.

Sima Ziru also echoed: "King Gao, what Longque (Sun Teng's name) said is very true. As long as Liu Yishou does not leave Lianghuai, we will have no chance to take advantage of it. Now that spring plowing is busy, it is better to wait and see the effect. When the time is right It is not too late to use troops again."

Both heavyweight scribes stood up against sending troops, and Gao Huan himself felt that there seemed to be no chance this time.So he waved his hand, looked at Zu Ting and said, "Don't think that you can be proud of your talent if you have a little talent. Marching and fighting is not a child's play. You should learn more and watch more when you are by your son's side."

After teaching Zu Teng a lesson, Gao Huan suggested to the people under his command: "The fierce battle with Er Zhurong before caused a lot of damage. Now that there is no external trouble, it is better to prepare troops and raise horses, garrison the fields and calm the people. We will discuss everything after the autumn harvest."

Gao Huan had already figured it out, and it was only a matter of time before he sent troops to Jinyang again.Now that half of Jinzhou has been used as a forward base, the replenishment of food, grass and soldiers is the top priority.

If there is no excellent opportunity at this time, there is no need to destroy the original rhythm.

This meeting lasted for a whole day, but afterward Gao Cheng and Zu Ting lacked interest in listening and fell asleep.After the meeting, the crowd dispersed, and Zu Ting found Gao Cheng, and asked in a low voice, "My lord, is that Liu Yishou very powerful?"

Not long after he joined Gao Huan, he didn't know that Gao Huan's army was beaten by Liu Yishou.After all, no one would take those ugly things as jokes.

"I don't know, not really."

Gao Cheng was thoughtful, and then smiled lewdly: "I only heard that he has many beautiful concubines, all of whom are beautiful. One day when I defeat him, I will definitely go around his backyard."

Because Xiao Gang was the crown prince, Pogangdu was renamed Podundu at that time, and the old name is still used here, after all, Xiao Gang has not been the crown prince for a few years.

"What's the matter, are you worried about your father?"

In the study, Liu Yishou lowered his head to write the letter, and from the corner of the corner of Long Snake's eyes, he saw Yang Jiang staring at him intently.

He wanted to say something but seemed hesitant to say it.

"That's really worrying. On Jiankang's side, there are rumors that it will scare people to death."

Yang Jiang lied weakly on the table, and dishonestly reached out to pat Liu Yishou's hand holding the brush.

"I said, why are you so calm? Now the fire is imminent."

Yang Jiang said with some dissatisfaction.

Liu Yishou stopped writing and looked at her, then shook his head slightly.

"Actually, if I go later, your father will definitely live better. On the contrary, if he goes early, he will be in a bad situation. This is because you care about it and go to the doctor in a hurry.

Don't worry, I have already made arrangements for Jiankang's affairs, and I will definitely not embarrass you. "

"Is that so?"

Yang Jiang always felt that Liu Yishou seemed to be hiding something from him.

"Don't worry, my father-in-law might dislike me for going too early."

Liu Yishou waved his hand and didn't want to say anything.

"By the way, how did you know that I was going to Jiankang?" Liu Yishou suddenly remembered this incident, as if he had never mentioned it before.

Yang Jiang smiled triumphantly and said, "It's obvious. Jiankang is such a big mess, and you don't move. How is this possible?"

"Oh, you really understand me."
