Governor please stay

"Let me think about it. Isn't it a few days before I go back to the camp? Before that, I will deal with it."

Gao Cheng forced a smile, obviously insincere.

Seeing his hesitation, Dou Tai sighed, patted Gao Cheng's shoulder vigorously, turned around and left.

……

In the middle of the night, Zu Ting couldn't sleep because of the pain in his buttocks in the military tent, and Gao Cheng was also lying on the blanket tossing and turning, as if he was brewing some emotions.

Suddenly, he got up and poked Zu Ting's arm with his finger.

"My lord, what's the matter?"

Zu Ting's complexion was very bad, as if he was holding back the pain.

"This time back to Daying, Dou Tai will frame you as Da Xiwu's internal agent, and will take your head as a sacrifice to the flag. Now, run away quickly, there are boats on the bank of the turbulent water."

"Sir..."

Zu Ting understood what was going on in an instant, and gratefully held Gao Cheng's hand, tears streaming down his face.

"Let's go, don't come back. I will tell Dou Tai later that you are fleeing in fear of crime." Gao Cheng sighed, very reluctant, but he had to sacrifice Zu Ting.

"My son, take care..." Zu Ting struggled to get up, but found that he was staggering when he walked.

"I'll help you to the river, otherwise you wouldn't be able to get out of the camp."

Gao Cheng helped Zu Ting up and left the tent.On the pretext of going to the river to pee, he helped the limping Zu Ting to the bank of the turbulent water, where there were indeed many boats tied to the wooden posts of the trestle bridge.

"Your Majesty, take care."

Zu Teng sat on the boat and bowed his hands to Gao Cheng. He is a smart man and he doesn't need to talk so much nonsense.

"let's go……"

Gao Cheng weakly waved his hand at Zu Ting, and watched the boat sail down the turbulent water to the downstream.

And the downstream of the turbulent water is Deng County.

Chapter 445 The villain takes revenge, from morning to night

The moon and stars are sparse, and there is only the sound of running water in the quiet night.

Zu Ting was lying on the small wooden boat, drifting with the current to Deng County downstream, not even bothering to move the paddle.

This night is cold, but even colder is the heart.What is uncomfortable is not the pain of the body, but the loss caused by the setback of the dream.

Gao Cheng let him run away, not because of how deep his relationship with him was, but because after his ancestor ran away, he was convicted of "betraying the lord"!In this case, it is equivalent to taking most of the responsibility for the defeat of this battle.

If Zu Ting didn't run away, it would be easy for Gao Yue and others to lose ground when dealing with them, and Gao Cheng would not be able to defend himself, which would be extremely unfavorable to him.

Don't blame me for not working hard, it's because there are spies in the army, what a perfect excuse!You see, how coquettish Zu Ting's running posture is!

Gao Yue definitely didn't want to challenge Dou Tai publicly, and Gao Huan definitely didn't want to deal with Gao Cheng in his heart. Zu Ting took all the crimes and everyone was happy.No one would say that Gao Cheng is cool and thin.

Everyone can open their eyes and talk nonsense, as if this defeat never happened!Face will not embarrass anyone.

Thinking of this, Zu Ting felt chills.

He knew he was "sacrificed"!Winners and losers, this world is so realistic!The courtiers not only have to advise the lord, but also stand up and take the blame when necessary.

He even used his reputation and life to take the blame!

"You wait for me! I will make you look good soon!"

Today you ignore me, but tomorrow I will make you cry bitterly.

Looking at the bright moon in the sky, Zu Ting gritted his teeth and made a vow!

……

In the past few days, Cui Yaolan has been in a very bad mood. In addition to her poor appetite caused by the pregnancy reaction, the letter sent by her brother and the battle situation ahead are all very difficult to feel at ease.

More importantly, Liu Yishou still did not move, and had no plans to send troops to station in Xinye, which made Cui Yaolan feel helpless while anxious.

On this day, Cui Yaolan was thinking about how to reply to Cui Shiqian's letter in her bedroom, when Liu Yishou quietly walked into the room and gently held her hand.

"Huh? Startled me!"

Cui Yaolan was engrossed in thinking about things, and when she found Liu Yishou by her side, she couldn't help but begrudgingly.

"Are you still thinking about your brother? He very much hopes that I can lead troops into Xinye, so that I can attract the attention of Gao Huan's army."

Liu Yishou sighed, and did not avoid the key question that Cui Yaolan was most concerned about.

"Ah Lang, this concubine is just a woman."

Cui Yaolan said with aggrieved heart.What else could she say, as if nothing was appropriate.There is already Liu Yishou's child in the stomach, and the sword has no eyes on the battlefield. It can't be said that the child was not born, so the father is missing arms and legs or even died in battle, right?

Even if she wanted the other party to send troops in her heart, she couldn't say this, at least she couldn't say it.

"Don't worry, I know all the things you care about. Wancheng is the largest city in Nanyang, and it has enough soldiers and food. As long as it doesn't open the city and surrender, it won't be a problem to defend it for a year or so.

Now we are like on the shore, and your brother is among the drowning.If we rush to rescue now, the drowning person will just grab everything he can subconsciously.At that time, not only will we not be able to save people, but we will drown ourselves.

I have control over these things, and I can't be in a hurry.When the time comes, I'll take care of it myself. "

Cui Yaolan nodded silently, took Liu Yishou's arm lightly, and leaned on him.

While the two were having their own concerns and enjoying the rare tranquility, Wang Wei knocked lightly on the door and stood outside without saying a word.

"Cultivate with peace of mind, and I'll come back as soon as I go."

Liu Yishou comforted Cui Yaolan, pushed the door open and left.Wang Wei looked anxious and wanted to speak, but in the end he sighed again.

When the two came to the study room of the government office, Wang Wei handed a letter to Liu Yishou and said, "General Yang and the others failed in their actions. Someone got there first, but...it was a trap."

Ok?

Liu Yishou was taken aback for a moment, he didn't expect there to be so many twists and turns!

He began to read the letter word by word. In the letter, Yang Zhong said that when they were preparing to act according to the plan, they discovered that someone launched a surprise attack on Yingzi Mountain where the grain storage area was located, and found that the granary was full of sand.

There was another chaotic battle among the ambushes, and the sneak attacking men and horses retreated with heavy casualties...the last chicken feathers fell on the ground.

"Wei Xiaokuan is deliberately setting me up."

Liu Yishou was also a little bit afraid, thanks to Yang Zhong and others being cautious, otherwise this wave of digging would probably be very painful.

"My lord, is it possible that the real route of those people is to take the Han waterway and transport grain to Hanzhong first?"

Wang Wei asked suspiciously.

Liu Yishou remained silent, as if trying to figure out what Wei Xiaokuan was thinking.

"The wave of people who attacked the granary should be Gao Huan's soldiers and horses?"

Liu Yishou asked thoughtfully.

"That can only be Gao Huan's soldiers and horses, but it's not sure which branch it is."

Wang Wei nodded. Although the matter was complicated and confusing, one thing is certain, the person who was beaten up was definitely Gao Huan's person, there is no doubt about it.

"Gao Huan's troops have to detour for at least hundreds of miles to attack. Wei Xiaokuan basically didn't set up this trick for Gao Huan's group, right? They should be targeting us."

Sending troops from Guangping County in the south to Yingzi Mountain, there are direct waterways to reach, and there are also mountains and forests where soldiers can hide, which is convenient for surprise attacks.The distance is less than two hundred miles.

Gao Huan's soldiers and horses had to detour at least hundreds of miles and cross four or five rivers.This wave is really difficult for them!

From a tactical point of view, Liu Yishou thought that Gao Huanjun's sneak attack this time was still very exciting.Unexpectedly, long-distance raids, all cavalry use.

It's just that they encountered old coins that were carefully planned.I'm afraid Wei Xiaokuan would not have expected that Gao Huan's people would step on this trap.

"Sometimes, you really have to believe in your destiny. As the saying goes, man makes things happen, and the ancients are honest and not deceived."

Liu Yishou said with a sigh.

"That's right, the lord is lucky, so how could someone like Wei Xiaokuan be able to plot against him?"

Wang Wei said flatteringly.

Liu Yishou waved his hand, not caring about Wang Wei's polite words.Although luck is also a part of strength, luck will always run out one day.How can the chief general in command of the three armies place victory on illusory luck?

The teacher who remembers the past and the future is the way to win.

Seeing that Liu Yishou was silent, Wang Wei continued to ask, "In that case, are we going to withdraw General Yang's elite troops?"

"No need! I think that Wei Xiaokuan's move is the same as that of Master Lu's. Once you hinder him once, you won't hinder him again."

Liu Yishou stood up, paced in the study, and continued as he walked: "I couldn't figure out his real intention at first, but now it seems that they must take the Wuguan Road to send food back to Guanzhong. Wei Xiaokuan's move is superfluous. exposed their true thoughts."

Liu Yishou was a little excited, and finally caught the fox's tail.Wei Xiaokuan's army was false and real, Gao Huan thought they were in Deng County, but in fact the main force had moved to Nanxiang.

When Nanxiang's "granary" is attacked, they will quickly transfer back to Deng County after completing the ambush, and deliver real grain and grass to Nanxiang!

The routines in between may be dazzling, but this point in transporting food back to customs is stuck and will never change.

The beauty of Wei Xiaokuan's operation is that who would have thought that Yingzishan, which has been "verified" as a fake granary, would become a real granary in the future?

After the ambush is completed, the focus of the enemy scouts' reconnaissance will definitely shift.Generally speaking, no one falls twice on the same step.No one will focus on Nanxiang again.

Wei Xiaokuan's trick is really clever.This series of strategies, one link after another, can be said to maximize their strengths and avoid weaknesses, giving full play to the advantages of elite soldiers.

"Pass down the order, order Dugu Xin to lead the troops to continue westward, and make the posture that we are going to attack Hanzhong.

Order Shen Ke to take Wu Xingshen's trilogy to Guangping County, pretending to support Duguxin.

Order Yang Zhong and Hu Luxian to stare at Nanxiang to death, and they will control the timing by themselves.

Gao Huan helped us step on the pit this time, no matter what, we have to repay them and relieve them a little pressure.

Anyway, I want everyone to see that I, Liu, have been tricked into thinking that Wei Xiaokuan and the others will follow the Han River. "

Liu Yishou sneered.

"My lord, isn't this too hasty..."

Wang Wei asked suspiciously.

It has been proven to be a trap, so do you want to step on it again?He didn't think Wei Xiaokuan would send real food to Nanxiang.Liu Yishou's order this time was based entirely on his own speculation.

"Look, even a person like you who is full of strategy thinks it's impossible. I think Wei Xiaokuan also thinks that no one can think that way. Isn't it normal to adopt the strategy of fake first and then true?"

Hearing this, Wang Wei was speechless.This kind of situation is that you guess me, I guess you, and see whose calculation is better.

You predicted me, I predicted your prediction, and you predicted I saw through your prediction... Such endless guesses will never have an answer.

"My lord, if Cui Shiqian invites us to join Xinye, are we really out of the game?"

Wang Wei asked suspiciously.

"The people in Guanzhong's deathbed lies in their food and grass. As long as their food and grass are dealt with, then they have no reason to stay in Nanyang. Unless it is to kill all the troops of Gao Huan and Cui Shiqian and rob Wancheng of grain.

So as long as we burn Wei Xiaokuan's food and grass, they have already lost this battle.The only difference is that they rolled back to Guanzhong in embarrassment, or were all wiped out in Nanyang.

Once we enter Xinye, we are bound to confront them head-on, which is not advisable. "

After Liu Yishou analyzed the battle situation, Wang Wei nodded silently.

It has to be said that the lack of food in Guanzhong is really a rope that binds Wei Xiaokuan's hands and feet, preventing him from using his hands and feet freely, and it also makes it easy for opponents to judge their strategic intentions.

"Okay, just do as I said. Especially tell Yang Zhong and the others to use their troops boldly. If you think it's okay to go, then go directly and don't need to ask me again. If they win, they will get the first credit. If they lose, I will They will not be held accountable, let them give it a go.

Don't be hesitant about using troops. Now that we have less than half of Liang's manpower and material resources as support, we can still afford a defeat. "

Liu Yishou quickly decided on a countermeasure and asked Wang Wei to convey the military order.

……

In the county government office of Deng County, Da Xiwu, who had returned from victory, immediately invited Wei Xiaokuan, who was guarding Deng County, to drink.Although there were not many gains, the opponents were all elite cavalry from Gao Huan's side.

Such soldiers and horses, Gao Huan's men may not be able to catch them all at once.

"Hahahahahaha! This time is really happy! Happy!"

Da Xiwu patted Wei Xiaokuan's shoulder excitedly, dancing with excitement.

Using the fake granary to deceive the opponent's more than 1000 elite cavalry, with minimal casualties, can be said to be the biggest victory since entering Nanyang this time.

"Captain, now is not the time to celebrate, you can do it now."

Wei Xiaokuan said calmly with a smile on his face.

"Do it? What kind of hands are you doing?"

Da Xiwu was stupefied, he hadn't recovered from the joy of victory.
