Governor please stay

Liu Yishou clapped his hands at the gate of the city and shouted loudly.

He was dressed in a strong suit, black long-sleeved trousers, which looked very similar to the outfit of a Hu man when he was riding a horse, but it was more simple and hearty.

"The first [-] people who run to Yicheng will be rewarded with [-] Wen! It's a waste of money, and they all run! Those who stop and don't run are ready to be beaten!"

Yicheng is about seventy or eighty miles south of Xiangyang City, and it is obviously impossible to get there in one go.Liu Yishou asked Duguxin to set up two temporary camps along the road, where the soldiers could rest, eat and enjoy the fire before continuing to run.

There is also the guard team on horseback. Seeing someone panting on the side of the road, seeing someone chasing after a stick and beating them indiscriminately, they suddenly jumped up and down.

This long-distance running game seems very simple, just run, whoever reaches the finish line first gets the money, and it is simple and rude.

But if you think about it carefully, there are many routines in it.

How to keep running without getting tired?

How to maintain physical strength to run to the finish line?

How to make reasonable use of temporary rest places to replenish physical strength?

Running in a team or alone?

Do you want to run at night?Will you get lost on the way?

There is no shortage of smart people in the army, and soon someone came up with a way to deal with it.

After this group of ten thousand people left Xiangyang City, Liu Yishou called dozens of personal soldiers, and let the sand sculpture king Hu Luxian lead the team, and slowly followed behind.

"My lord, let the soldiers run to Yicheng unarmed, do you have any plan?"

Hu Luxian was riding on the horse, and it took him a long time to hold back such a sentence.

"Actually, I just don't want those people to stay too idle in Xiangyang City, so I can find something for them to do. It's nothing else."

Liu Yishou said nonchalantly, it wasn't him who ran away anyway.

Really?

Hu Luxian doesn't believe that Liu Yishou will do boring things at all. Everything his protagonist does is full of routines and will never be aimless.

But he didn't speak, but pondered what the purpose of Liu Yishou's move was.

The first camp was twenty miles away by the side of the road, next to a frozen creek for easy access to water.The camp was full of soldiers warming up by the fire, each of them was exhausted and sluggish, sitting on the ground panting.

Many of them were whispering, as if discussing something.

"The order continues. In the wilderness in winter, there are often hungry wolves. If you are unarmed, it is best not to meet those wild beasts. Once you get lost, you are basically dead."

Liu Yishou said to Hu Luxian who was beside him.

These words were passed on, and soon someone thought of the crux of the problem, got up and ran!This situation was like a plague infection. After a while, there was only a small group of auxiliary soldiers in charge of logistics left in the camp.

"My lord, why is this?"

Hu Luxian asked in bewilderment, why did those people immediately get up and run when Liu Yishou's words were passed on?

"The distance in Yicheng, according to the speed of running, can be easily reached within two days, but if it takes one day, it is possible to stay around the clock, and you can't rest.

Running at night is easy to get lost, it is very cold and there is a threat of wild animals.They were wearing single clothes, and they might freeze to death or starve to death. It would be better to sleep in the camp overnight to recharge their energy, and then go to sharpen their knives and chop firewood the next day.

So arriving at the second camp to rest before dark is one of the winners and losers of this competition.

Anyone who fails to reach the second camp before dark, or who ventures on after reaching it, automatically loses his chance of winning.

The first day is just a screening, and the second day is a decisive battle. "

Liu Yishou said with a sigh.

Hu Luxian nodded thoughtfully. Those who can still plan clearly after running for dozens of miles can be reused.

In other words, the first 100 people who arrived in this game must be those who have both physical and mental strength and know how to allocate physical strength reasonably in war.

These people are the so-called elite among the elite, with high comprehensive quality, they can be promoted and reused, and they are included in the list of key observations.

Liu Yishou would rather let the soldiers run for exercise than lead the troops to attack, and stayed in Xiangyang all the time.It has to be said that this concentration is not something ordinary people can possess.

The crowd rode to Yicheng, the finish line, and arrived first. Before the "competitors" came, Liu Yishou and others slept beautifully in the big camp set up outside the city.When I got up the next day, it was not until the afternoon that I saw someone running to the finish line.

Without exception, they are all in a group of several people, and the time interval is actually very long, instead of racing against time as Hu Luxian had imagined.

When one person ran to the big camp where the finish line was, Liu Yishou shouted to everyone: "It's all right, everyone go to the army tent to receive the reward!"

Hearing this, the soldiers who were lying on the ground like dead dogs regained their spirits instantly, got up and shouted loudly.

"Long live King Wu!"

"Long live King Wu!"

"Long live King Wu!"

thunderous cheers.

After all, it is more comfortable to get a thousand coins without fighting.They wish there would be a next time for such a risk-free activity.

After those people went to receive the rewards, Liu Yishou said to Duguxin: "For the rest, the top five hundred will not be rewarded or punished. Those between five hundred and nine hundred will have five army sticks per person, and the rest will , Twenty military sticks per person.

If this run was to avoid the enemy's pursuit, they would be dead now, and it would be cheap for them to fight with army sticks. "

In the past two days, [-] elite soldiers were tortured to death by Liu Yishou. Fortunately, those who beat the army sticks were all his own people, otherwise this winter would be difficult.

After the long-distance running training, Liu Yishou asked Duguxin to organize archery, weightlifting, ring confrontation, group confrontation and other events, secretly observe the winners, and choose the best from the best.

It will be ten days before all the drills are over and they return to Xiangyang.

During this period, She Digan stormed Zheyang City. After resisting for a few days, Cui Xi took advantage of the night to leave Zheyang and return to Wancheng.Gao Yue stepped into the battalion and personally led troops into Zheyang, thinking of it as a bridgehead and preparing to attack Wancheng.

Da Xiwu ordered Wei Xiaokuan to guard Deng County, while he personally led the main force to station on the west bank of Baihe (淯水) not far northeast of Wancheng.Cui Cong also camped ten miles outside Wancheng to meet Da Xiwu.

Gao Huan's army was coming so fiercely that Da Xiwu and Cui Shiqian had to "sincerely cooperate".However, Zheyang City is still some distance away from Wancheng. If one hit is missed and another attack is made, it will take a lot of physical strength and time to go back and forth.

For a while, there was a serious disagreement between Gao Yue and She Diqian about whether to directly attack Wancheng.

She Diqian thinks that real men just do it, and it's enough to just fly a dragon and ride on their face. Back in the Northland, they all played like this.

Gao Yue, on the other hand, was more cautious, thinking that Cui Shiqian and He Bayue's main force was still there, and it was extremely risky to rush forward.

It's better to build a city on the east bank of the Baihe River and confront each other in Tunza.It seems that the effect will be better if the ice and snow melt and spring plowing is just around the corner.Anyway, they are not short of food and grass, but Nanyang will be useless without spring plowing. I believe Cui Shiqian and others will be anxious.

Neither of these two people accepted the other, and the generals under his command also had their own ideas, and there were supporters for any plan, so it was difficult to make a decision for a while.

……

"Oh? You mean that the army is at a stalemate now, and all the generals have their own ideas?"

In the backyard of the government office in Qiluo City, Gao Cheng squinted his eyes and asked.

"Hui Shizi, that's true. Gao Yue wants to build a city on the east bank of the Baihe River, and She Digan wants to send troops directly from Zheyang City to Wancheng."

Zu Ting said calmly.

"interesting."

Gao Cheng's heart was hot, but he still put on airs and refused to speak out his inner thoughts.The army was hesitant, and he made a decision with one word. Wouldn't it be a good opportunity to win people's hearts?

But there is still a problem, "golden ideas" can come out, bad ideas are fine, it's better to stay in Qiluo City and play with women.

"My son, Shedigan Xianbei's husband (old man) is not familiar with the Central Plains warfare. It is severe winter and spring plowing is not far away. Cui Shiqian and his gang are in a hurry, but we are not in a hurry. Gao Yue's strategy is mature and stable. Your son can Why not support him, accept his heart and show his prestige in the army?"

Zu Ting's opinion was very clear. At this time, he wanted to stand up for Gao Yue and confront Cui Shiqian and others in Baihe.When the spring is warm and the flowers bloom, it will be the time of the decisive battle.

"But, when we were building the city, what if Wancheng sent troops to attack?"

Gao Cheng asked suspiciously.

"This is not something the prince should consider. She Digan and others exist to carry out military orders. This is something they should consider. If not, what is the use of these people?"

Zu Ting said boldly.

Gao Cheng nodded slowly and said: "This Qiluo City is not interesting, why don't you and I go to Zheyang City together!"

Chapter 439 Who is the Big Clever

"What, the prince has come to Zheyang?"

In the signing room at the head of Zheyang city, Gao Yue, who was checking the map, was slightly surprised when his cronies reported that Gao Cheng and Zu Ting had entered the city quietly.

Before, he had heard that Gao Cheng was doing mischief in Rencheng of Qingzhou. He had an accident during a night out with all the bankers, and was beaten by the bitter master and even killed someone.

In fact, Gao Yue doesn't care about these things, it doesn't matter how Gao Cheng makes trouble, he is just a dude.Who hasn't been frivolous when young?Gao Aocao's eldest brother, Gao Gan, was still robbing brides when he was young, and he was still having sex on the roadside.

Gao Yue felt that as long as Gao Cheng didn't get in the way and didn't meddle in military affairs, then everything was easy to talk about, and he was free to mess with the girls in Qiluo City as he wanted.

Unexpectedly, this guy was restless and came running to Zheyang!

"Back to the general, it is true. But they came quietly, and most people in the army don't know it yet."

The soldier said cautiously.

Gao Yue was full of anger and was inconvenient to attack, his face was gloomy, and finally turned into a sigh.Who told Gao Cheng to be Gao Huan's son, so what can be done?

Accompanied by their personal guards, Gao Cheng and Zu Ting came to the front line, namely Zheyang City.It is light and simple, and basically kept in a state of secrecy.They were all here, and Gao Yue couldn't drive them away. As a last resort, he had to lure Gao Cheng and others to a courtyard provided by a rich family in Zheyang City, and enter the wing room for a secret talk.

"My son, the soldiers are fierce and the war is dangerous, and Zheyang City is not absolutely safe. Why do you want to come to the front line? If something happens to your son, how can I explain it to King Gao?"

Gao Yue said with drooping face, extremely helpless.If possible, he would like to kneel down to this master.

"Uncle has misunderstood. The so-called seeking affairs in his position, my nephew is now also in charge of the army. I heard that the generals will not obey orders and refuse to build a city on the west bank of the Baihe River, so I came to Zheyang City specially to help my uncle."

Gao Cheng said with a smile.

Youdao is better spoken than sung, Gao Cheng's words are repeated and beaten, but it seems that he is speaking righteously, but Gao Yue is unreasonable.

Gao Cheng's words definitely hold water on the surface.But for many things, the problem is not the rules on the surface, but many "hidden rules" that cannot be stated or made public.

For example, with Gao Cheng's qualifications, how can he take up the post of "Supervisor"?Here is the unspoken rule at work.So although Gao Cheng's words sound nice, in Gao Yue's view, they are just polite.Means nothing.

"I'll take care of these things myself, so you don't have to worry about it. This battle is definitely not something that can be fought in a day or two. It is precisely because of this that I strongly advocate building a city on the west bank of the Baihe River, step by step, and interfere with the Nanyang defenders. Military spirit."

Gao Yue said in a deep voice.

Now sending troops from Zheyang to Wancheng, the advantage is that the Baihe River is frozen to death, which is useless.Send troops at this time, cut through the mess quickly, fight quickly, and end the battle quickly, so as to minimize losses.

However, She Diqian's plan has a lot of flaws.That is, once Wancheng cannot be conquered, it will be difficult to gather the army if it is defeated.If he was chased by the enemy, he would probably die a miserable death.Judging from the current number and state of troops under He Bayue and Cui Shiqian's command, the probability of such a thing happening is not small.

Although building a city on the west bank of the Baihe River is a bit tame, it can minimize the risk of fighting.In view of the dead spot of spring plowing, it is a wise move to do so.

In winter, the Baihe River froze, and building a new small city on the west bank didn't seem to have any effect, because the river could be crossed on the ice at any time.But if the ice surface melts, then the temporary small city built by the river will play a pivotal role.A pontoon bridge can be erected just outside the door, and it is easy to cross the river by surprise.

Therefore, it is impossible to judge Gao Yue's idea simply and rudely, nor can it be said that She Digan is fooling around.Each has its own ideas, and each has its own advantages. It just depends on what strategy is needed when fighting a war, and adopts which strategy.

"Uncle Clan is offended by saying that. Although I am the supervisor, I am also a family with Uncle Clan. This time Uncle Clan is the main general. As the military supervisor, it is only natural for me to support Uncle Clan. How about this, I Go and persuade the generals to build a city on the bank of the river, that's the decision."

Gao Cheng said with a smile, how could he let go of such a good opportunity!

On weekdays, Gao Huan was very concerned about military power, and he didn't allow anyone to get involved, even Gao Yue and others, military power was actually strictly restricted by Gao Huan.

As for Gao Cheng, he couldn't even touch the door, and felt that he had nothing to do with life.Now that he can finally stretch out his paws to things that he couldn't touch at all before, it would be a lie if he wasn't excited.

"How do you persuade?"

Gao Yue asked suspiciously.He didn't believe that a bad-tempered guy like She Digan would give Gao Cheng face.

"My nephew has his own plan."

Gao Cheng said confidently.

"Then let's give it a try."

Gao Yue nodded slightly and said, now there is no way to recruit, people in Zheyang City quarrel almost every day, and there is no conclusion, but all kinds of cursing words are sprayed out, and it is not a solution to continue like this.

A few days later, Gao Yue convened another meeting to discuss countermeasures. She Digan and others were noncommittal about his idea of ​​building a city by the river, which was tantamount to acquiescing.Gao Yue didn't know how Gao Cheng tried to persuade him, anyway, the matter was settled like this.

Cannibals are short-mouthed and soft-handed.Gao Cheng did Gao Yue a great favor, and Gao Yue was embarrassed to drive Gao Cheng back to Qiluo City.Gathering all the soldiers and horses to set off, Gao Yue once again ordered Gao Cheng to never leave Zheyang City, and never go to build the city with the army.

Gao Yue kindly threatened that if Gao Cheng refused to stay in Zheyang, then he would have no choice but to write a letter to Lou Zhaojun, and then send Gao Cheng back to Yecheng.

Having said all of this, Gao Cheng had no choice but to follow Gao Yue's advice, stay in Zheyang honestly, and then quietly wait for the opportunity to "golden".

He feels that everything is going well so far, even a little beyond imagination.Flying dragon riding face, it is impossible to lose.

……

Wei Xiaokuan may feel that his reputation is not obvious, he is a figure hiding behind the scenes, and Liu Yishou will not notice at all.At least until Liu Yishou suffers a big loss, he will not notice, this is also human nature.

However, what he doesn't know is that only coins know coins best, and only old foxes are most afraid of old foxes.Although Wei Xiaokuan, an old coin with a "brilliant record" in the history of his previous life, is still very "pink", Liu Yishou dare not take him lightly.

When he was free, Liu Yishou buried himself in the study and copied the map of Nanyang area by himself, and then marked it in his own way.He also installed a huge wooden board on the wall of his study, and then drew two horizontal and vertical lines on the wooden board, dividing the whole wooden board into four parts.
