Governor please stay

"Swear to sweep the Xiongnu regardless of personal safety, five thousand mint brocades to mourn the dust.

Poor Wuding Riverside Bone, still a spring boudoir dream!

If you use troops indiscriminately without understanding the situation, and let the people below pave a road to the sky with bones, is that still called a commander?

Fighting a war is not acting, and I am not an actor! "

Liu Yishou waved his hands in disappointment. Not only did he not feel more relaxed after going out to fish, but he thought of many heavy topics. If he had known earlier, he might as well sleep at home.

However, when he returned to Shouyang City, a messenger from afar sent an important news.Liu Yishou immediately called a meeting of the generals to discuss countermeasures.

……

The letter was sent by Feng Linghua, and the messenger left after delivering the letter.However, the amount of information contained in this letter was beyond Liu Yishou's expectation.

Due to the inconvenient transportation, the transmission of information is delayed.When Liu Yishou and the others learned that Er Zhurong was defeated because of a change of general, the situation in the south of Jinyang actually changed drastically again.

Previously, Erzhuzhao was defeated and trapped in Jiexiu.Er Zhurong ordered him to defend the city, and when Gao Huan's soldiers were exhausted, Murong Shaozong would send out surprise troops to restrain Gao Huan.After all, the capture of Jiexiu is not considered to have penetrated Xihe County, and Gao Huan's army still couldn't deliver the food and grass in Huguan City!

As a result, a confidant named Lu Zixian under Er Zhuzhao's command had been secretly communicating with Gao Huan a long time ago.

When Er Zhuzhao was defeated and defended Jiexiu City, Lu Zixian led people to open the gate of Jiexiu City at night, and joined forces with Gao Huan's elite soldiers to break through Jiexiu City.Erzhuzhao was defeated and died, and the remnants of the Erzhu family retreated to Xihe City (that is, Fenyang City in Tang Dynasty) in embarrassment.

While you are dying of illness, Gao Huan will not give Er Zhurong any breathing time.After opening up the logistics supply line, Gao Huan's army continued to go north, not only captured Xihe City, but also took advantage of the victory to attack Qixian, Pingyao and other places controlled by Erzhu Rongjun, all in one battle!

In this way, Wu Ze, the only big lake south of Jinyang, and the tens of thousands of hectares of fertile land around Wu Ze were completely controlled.

The lake around Wuze is the main grain-producing area of ​​Jinyang.Wu Ze's average water depth is less than six meters.Its status is similar to Shaopi in Shouyang, but the water conservancy project is not as good as Shaopi. It is still an indispensable and important part of farmland irrigation.

There are thousands of hectares of fertile land around Wuze, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the granary of Jinyang, most of Erzhu Rongjun's grain and grass come from here.If he didn't control Wu Ze, Er Zhurong would definitely not be able to support so many soldiers and horses.

Er Zhurong obviously also understood the seriousness of the situation, he ordered Murong Shaozong to go out again, trying to take back Qi County and Pingyao and other places.

It's a pity that the morale of the army has been low after two previous coaching changes, and Er Zhurong didn't dare to leave Jinyang City. He was afraid that his subordinates would surrender and Gao Huan would turn his back on him.This battle has not yet begun, and the outcome is already predictable.

Sure enough, Murong Shaozong was attacked head-on by Gao Huan's army this time, and retreated to Jinyang in embarrassment.

Gao Huan's army has come back continuously, and has come out of the embarrassment of the Battle of Yubi. Now that the supply line has been opened up, there is no need to worry about being cut off, and the morale of the army is soaring.

On the contrary, it was Er Zhurong who lost Wu Ze and Er Zhuzhao, his morale was at its lowest point, and he was already unable to fight any more.

After that, Gao Huan led his troops to the north and besieged Jinyang.He knew that fortified cities were difficult to conquer, and the soldiers had lost a lot in successive battles, and they were also in a state of extreme exhaustion.

So Gao Huan wrote to Yecheng, ordering Sun Teng to arrange to transfer trilogy from various places to the north to support Jinyang.Anyway, the unstable factor of Yuanxiu had been removed, and it was useless to keep troops in Yecheng. Gao Huan decided to concentrate his troops this time to solve Er Zhurong once and for all.

Gao Huan felt that this time was a godsend opportunity, if he missed this one, it would be hard to say whether he could find a place to come back from Er Zhurong next time.

"Everyone, Gao Huan won a big victory this time, and has already cornered Er Zhurong."

Liu Yishou circulated the secret letter sent by Feng Linghua to everyone. No matter who they were, everyone looked solemn after reading it.

If Rouran's forces can contain Gao Huan's [-] elite soldiers, then Er Zhurong can contain all of Gao Huan's troops.

But the Er Zhurong now is not the same Er Zhurong as before.

Looking at it now, in the Six Towns Rebellion, the times created heroes, and Er Zhurong came out on top.Now times have changed, and when the situation is gone, the hero is also coming to an end.

At that time, if you have a sword, you are the King of Caotou, and Er Zhurong, who has a sharp sword and knows how to use a sword, is the most beautiful boy in the Northern Wei Dynasty, and no one can steal his limelight.

But now the wind direction has changed, and people have settled their minds, and they don't want to live the days of having a full meal in the morning and dying in the evening.

Leaders like Liu Yishou and Gao Huan who are good at stabilizing the political situation and winning over people's hearts stand out.Even if Er Zhurong doesn't want to admit it, the world has changed a long time ago, and it's no longer the time for him to stand out.

Times create heroes, and heroes will eventually fall because of changes in times, just as they rose back then.

All the people present sighed with emotion. At the beginning, Liu Yishou insisted on parting ways with Er Zhurong. It is estimated that Yuan Shikang and others secretly regretted it in their hearts.Looking back now, isn't this a kind of prejudgment with bright eyes?

"Not only do we need to send troops this time, but we also need to send troops quickly. If we wait until Jinyang is breached, it will be too late for regret."

Wang Wei said with a serious face. Everyone in the study nodded frequently. Obviously, they all agreed that it was meaningful to send troops to contain Gao Huan's military strength.

"To move out quickly, we must first send a large army to contain Gao Huan, there cannot be too many troops, 1 people are enough.

If there are too many people, the soldiers and horses will go ahead without using food and grass, and a large number of auxiliary troops will be needed.Now that it is spring plowing, large-scale use of troops has too many disadvantages. "

Liu Yishou sighed leisurely, and continued: "I'm afraid this time, there will be another White Robe Northern Expedition."

After he finished speaking, everyone present held their breath and straightened their backs. It was self-evident what he wanted to do.

When the white-robed army went to the Northern Wei Dynasty, it was a rare military highlight during Xiao Yan's reign. At other times, they were all fighting with more and less, or fighting not far from their hometown. It was really not a big victory.

Just like the Battle of Guoyang and the Battle of Zhongli, the Southern Army deserved to win, and if they lost, it was just that their skills were inferior to others, and it was really not worth bragging about.

Who doesn't want to play the White Robe Northern Expedition again, and it will last a lifetime when they come back.

"My lord, in the name of the Northern Expedition to the Kingdom of Wei, I will actually rescue Er Zhurong. The profit of this battle is not worth mentioning, it is only for the long-term consideration."

Wang Wei folded his sleeves and saluted, and said in a deep voice.

Luoyang cannot be defeated in this battle, or it is very difficult and requires extraordinary performance.But as long as Er Zhurong can be rescued successfully and let the other side restrain Gao Huan for a few more years, then the goal will be achieved.

"Don't be so pessimistic."

Liu Yishou waved his hand and said: "The land of Henan, the land of Qingxu, has many household registrations. When we went north, we moved the people to Jianghuai or Jiankang. After Gao Huan only has one Hebei, let's see what he takes. Fight us.

Keep people lose ground, people gain both.If you lose your land, you will lose both your land and your people.

This time we will have two armies, one will select the most elite soldiers and be responsible for attacking the city and conquering the territory.There is also a large and small boat ready to move the people in the occupied land to the south.

With a two-pronged approach, as long as Gao Huan's soldiers and horses are attracted to the south, we can retreat slowly.Even the enemy can advance and retreat, and the enemy can retreat and advance, so it is not easy to fight decisively. "

Liu Yishou's words stunned everyone, and Mao Xi couldn't help asking: "My lord, in this way, how do you count your military achievements?"

"Military orders are used to record credit, not land grabbing or harvesting. This time we are trying to attract the main force of Gao Huan's army to go south, and the scale of sending troops is also limited. If we count the gains, everyone will be red-eyed. Now is not the time for a decisive battle with Gao Huan. .”

The current situation is a bit like a replica of the meeting in Liu Yishou's previous life when Hou Jing just took refuge in Nanliang.

In terms of geographical advantages and disadvantages, it is easy for the army of the Southern Dynasty to win a temporary victory on this battlefield, but it is very difficult to keep the territory it occupies.

Since Er Zhurong's downfall seems imminent, it is very important to take extraordinary measures in extraordinary times!

The urgency of this matter comes first.

"My lord, if this matter is brought to the court of Jiankang, I'm afraid I will be powerless. Things like rescuing Er Zhurong cannot be stated clearly."

Wang Wei reminded calmly.

If we talk about it, some ignorant ministers will definitely suggest: Er Zhurong and Gao Huan dog bite dog, wouldn't it be best to let them bite each other?Let's sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, isn't it good to take advantage of the fisherman?

The climate in the south of the Yangtze River is pleasant, and the economy is now very developed. The Southern Dynasties are not eager to hope for the Northern Expedition. After all, the northerners have not come to fight now, have they?

Wang Wei's words can be said to be to the point: How can we do good politics with those bugs?

"So, I can only make a fuss about Yuan Xiu's affairs."

Liu Yishou nodded slightly and said.

"Yuan Quan...?"

"Yes, actually, I also want to support Yuan Ziyou, but he is no longer here."

Liu Yishou smiled helplessly.

It was fine if he didn't say anything, everyone present almost forgot who Yuan Ziyou was, anyway...it was just a dead bone in Yuan's Tomb.

"Okay, that's it. For this Northern Expedition, we will form a new army, still called the White Robe Army, with Chen Qingzhi's old White Robe Army as the backbone."

Liu Yishou slapped his hands and directly finalized the matter.

Chapter 493 Familiar Routine, Familiar Taste

From the point of view of Liu Yishou and many of his advisers, sending troops to the Northern Expedition to help Er Zhurong share a little pressure is a very affordable deal.However, there must be a reason for sending troops. In the Spring and Autumn Period, there was a saying of "slaying the people and punishing crimes".

If you don't find a good reason to start, it's too rough to do things.

But what is a little embarrassing is that Er Zhurong's reputation is notorious, and he speaks out for him, not to mention that it is difficult to convince those in Jiankang City who are against Liu Yishou, even the people in Shouyang City probably Also be puzzled.

However, if you don't say that, is it to publicize that your Northern Expedition is to grab money, grain, and territory?This is not like the slogan that a king's teacher should shout.

In the end, Liu Yishou still set his sights on Yuan Xiu's cousin Yuan Dan.Although this person is Yuan Xiu's peer, he is much older than Yuan Xiu, and both of their grandfathers are Emperor Xiaowen Yuan Hong.

Yuan Xiu tossed and tossed himself to death, not to mention, but also let all the clans of the Yuan clan die, of course he was to blame.But what Liu Yishou wanted was not to avenge Yuan Xiu, but to find an excuse for the Northern Expedition, which was no more beautiful than the slogan shouted by Wang Yuanhao of Beihai.

So Liu Yishou's decision on this matter was not finished, at least Yuan Quan had to agree to it.Logically speaking, a puppet like Yuan Quan is not what Liu Yishou says he is?

However, the actual situation was a bit beyond everyone's expectations. This Yuan Quan, facing Liu Yishou's softness and toughness, seemed to be soft and hard, and it was a big surprise that he didn't get into it.

In a separate courtyard in Shouyang City, Liu Yishou and Yuan Quan were drinking tea at a stone table in the courtyard, and the atmosphere was a little stiff.

It is well known that Yuan Quan is in poor health. He is similar to the sick man Liu Yishou saw in his previous life. Although his health has always been poor, he has never died.

You said that it is not uncommon for him to die tomorrow, but he may still be panting ten years after he is alive.

In the first year of Zhengguang (520 A.D.), Yuan Quan's father, the former Qinghe king Yuan Yi, was murdered by the power minister Yuan Cha.Everyone pushes against the wall, Yuan Yi's uncle Runan Wang Yuanyue asked him for Yuan Yi's clothing and antiques, in fact, he deliberately found fault.

Sure enough, later Yuan Yue excused that Yuan Quan didn't deliver the things on time, and what he delivered didn't suit his wishes, so Yuan Yue ordered someone to beat Yuan Quan with a hundred sticks, almost killing Yuan Quan.

Since then, Yuan Quan's body has been broken and he has become a sick child. It is not easy to survive for so many years.

Liu Yishou proposed the Northern Expedition to Luoyang, and established Yuan Quan as the emperor of Wei, just like Yuan Hao back then.This Liu Dudu has always claimed to have inherited Chen Qingzhi's mantle and accepted the old white robe department.Now that the Northern Expedition is proposed, it seems to be fulfilling the unfinished ambition of the master, but in fact it contains evil intentions.

The weather-beaten Yuan Quan could tell at a glance.

Therefore, his reply to Liu Yishou was also very simple: I am a sick child. If you escort me to Luoyang to enthroned and become emperor, I am afraid that I will die of illness while marching on the road. How will you end up then?

I just won't go to the Northern Expedition with you, you bite me!

Liu Yishou really couldn't bite him, so he could only keep saying nice things.

"Brother Ziliang (Yuan Quan pronoun) just doesn't think about himself, he should think about his family."

Liu Yishou took a sip of tea calmly, and said slowly.The good words were exhausted, even if the other party didn't fall into the trap, he had no choice but to lower his face and threaten.

For matters like the one listed above, Yuan Quan really had to do it himself and send the letter to Jiankang so that Liu Yishou could proceed to the next step.A cow refuses to drink water, and if you drink it by pressing its head, it is a joke for outsiders.

Liu Yishou, who cherishes feathers, would not do such a thing.

"Children and grandchildren have their own blessings, so let them go. Didn't Yuan Yuyi give birth to a son for King Wu? She is the queen of Gaoyang King. Wouldn't it be fine for you to adopt her?"

Yuan Quan said with a smile, and suddenly sneered at Liu Yishou.

To be honest, if he doesn't let go, Liu Yishou really has nothing to do.After all, Liu Yishou is not Er Zhurong, so in order to be able to rule the north in the future, he still needs to have a high profile.

The Yuan clan has lost power. If they hadn't united to do something, there was really no need to do it.You didn't even become the emperor, and you started killing the clan of the previous dynasty. What will others think after seeing it?

For example, the people of the Xiao family, do they feel the sorrow of the death of the rabbit?

A little intolerance can lead to a big conspiracy, Liu Yishou is such a person, he will never mess around just because his temper comes up.Yuan Quan was sure of this point, so he was a little bit sure.

"If that's the case, I'm sorry to bother you, so I'll take my leave."

Liu Yishou stood up and saluted Yuan Quan.The other party refused to submit, and he had plenty of ways to make Yuan Dan's family submit.Just wait and see.

……

"My lord, Yuan Quan is stubborn and a bit arrogant."

In the study of Prince Wu's mansion, Wang Wei saw Liu Yishou sulking, so he leaned over to come up with bad ideas.

"It's true that I'm a little angry, but this matter is not easy to deal with. Without the reason of standing up for the Yuan family, we lack some legitimacy in sending troops. In fact, we won't occupy much land later. After this battle is over, I'm afraid it will be hard to settle the criticism. "

Liu Yishou sighed. In fact, Yuan Quan's refusal did not directly affect the dispatch of troops, and the preparations should be done as usual.But this matter will have to be resolved sooner or later. The basic rules of the political game are not suitable for easy change.

Otherwise, he would not have attached himself to Nanliang as a son-in-law.

At this moment, Yuan Shikang hurried into the study, and whispered in Liu Yishou's ear: "My lord, Yuan Quan committed suicide by taking poison. Now their house is in chaos."

Today Liu Yishou just went to Yuan Quan's house and talked with him for a long time, and this sick man committed suicide by taking poison at night, what would others think of this matter?

I'm afraid everyone will think that Yuan Quan was forced to death by Liu Yishou!

I can't afford to mess with you, so I'd rather have broken pieces of jade than splash mud all over you!See what you do!

"Too deceiving!"

Liu Yishou slammed the table, trembling with anger!

Yuan Quan's intentions were very sinister. After his death, Liu Yishou felt ashamed to go to the Northern Expedition under the banner of his son.As for the descendants of their family, in fact, it doesn't matter whether Yuan Quan dies or not, because people without power and power will always be manipulated by others.

Could it be that if Yuan Quan is alive, Liu Yishou or other dignitaries in the Liang Kingdom dare not do anything to him in their family?Obviously not.

On the contrary, if Liu Yishou is afraid, it may have some protective effect on his descendants.

"When Er Zhurong came to Luoyang, if Yuan Quan was so staunch, why did he fall to this point?"

Wang Wei sighed and said with emotion, some don't understand that it's all about this, who is acting for Yuan Quan's suicide.
