Governor please stay

However, no matter whether it is from the Hebei family or the old brother Huaishuo, the appetite will never be satisfied.

Only by recasting martial arts morality and a hearty victory can people's hearts be reunited, and authority can be established under the combination of grace and power.

Hitting barbarians is undoubtedly the most cost-effective.

Whether it is a family in Hebei or the entire Eastern Wei Dynasty, what is most lacking is not land, but cattle for plowing, horses and other livestock for transportation, and water conservancy and irrigation facilities.

The Hu people, specifically the Rouran people, had a lot of livestock.

Seizing these things can bring immediate improvement to the country's national strength.Whether it is fighting in Guanzhong or Huaihuai, if you can't eliminate your opponent at once, then the things that can be captured are actually very low cost-effective for the current Eastern Wei Dynasty!

If you are victorious, with so many livestock looted in your hands, there are many things you can do.

What's more, Rouran is very weak now, it was revived briefly after being extremely weak.

The background is much worse than it was in its heyday.To put it bluntly, using troops against Rouran has a much higher chance of winning than fighting Guanzhong and Lianghuai.

"I will tell my father about the selection of the elite among the Xianbei tribes. For other things, I ask you to write a detailed plan and play it by ear later."

Gao Yang said it very conservatively. Before Gao Huan promised him to choose the elite, there was no way to talk about the following things. It is meaningless to talk too much now.

But Gao Yang felt that the problem was not a big one. In fact, when he was hunting in autumn, Gao Huan had the intention of intimidating the Hebei aristocratic family with elites.Now it's just a different expression.

……

It was snowing lightly outside Shouyang City.

On a small boat not far from the bank of Feishui, Liu Yishou was fishing in a bamboo hat.While he was fishing, he was still talking plausibly.

"Thousands of mountains and birds flew extinct, and people disappeared in thousands of paths.

The lonely boat Yukao Kazane and the snow of the Kangare Kanoe.

Except that I am not an old man, everything else is correct. "

Liu Yishou sighed softly, he often wondered if it was because he was not from this world that those fish kept his distance and never bit the bait.

Suddenly, Yuan Shikang rowed over from the shore, and after the two boats approached side by side, he bowed his hands to Liu Yishou and said, "My lord, Rouran replied, saying that there is no passage between the grassland and the Huaihe River, and the princess cannot reach it." .So I hope we can open up the passage between Youzhou and Huaihuai.”

These words were so shameless that Yuan Shikang was embarrassed to say any more.

"Since there is no sincerity, let's forget it. If we can reach Youzhou, Gao Huan has already been destroyed, do we still need to marry Rouran?"

Liu Yishou sneered, the grassland people had already seen that something was wrong.Since the last Northern Expedition came back with a complete victory, in the eyes of Rouran people, the offensive and defensive transition between the Eastern Wei Dynasty and the Southern Liang Dynasty has changed.

Now the Eastern Wei Dynasty is defending with difficulty, and the prospects are worrying!

If they marry Liu Yishou and deal with Gao Huan, then after Gao Huan is destroyed, the Rouran people will have a more terrifying opponent.

So now Anahu's mind has changed, they would rather make peace with a weaker opponent than team up with Liu Yishou to deal with Gao Huan.

In fact, it is quite normal to think about it.

It's just that if Gao Huan gets the horses and livestock provided by the Rouran people, he will have a long-term business relationship with them.In a few years, the cavalry of the Eastern Wei Dynasty may become quite vigorous.

This is definitely not good news for Liu Yishou.

"By the way, my lord, the spies we sent to Guangzhou reported that Xiao Bo, Xiao Ying and others had conflicts in order to compete for the leadership of the alliance. Xiao Bo was unwilling to let go of Nankang County (Ganzhou), and did not want to follow Xiao Bo. Reflect their troubles.

Therefore, if Xiao Ying and others want to go north to Jiankang under the banner of Xiao Gang, they can only take the road from Shaoguan to Xiangzhou, that is, join Xiao Yi. "

Yuan Shikang dictated the news brought back by the spies, but did not bring the information with him.

"Those princes of the Xiao Clan, if there is only one person, maybe they can do something.

Once there are two or more vassals together, they don't need enemies to fight, they will be the first to mess up. "

Liu Yishou said disdainfully.

Why has he never proposed to go south to Guangzhou?

Because there are too many Xiao clans gathered there.

Clans like Xiao Gang, Xiao Ying, Xiao Bo, and Xiao Tian ah, have both distant and near branches.

Regardless of their surname Xiao, the relationship between them is complicated.

Some are Xiao Yan's sons, some are the sons of Xiao Yan's own brothers, and some are the sons of Xiao Yan's cousins!

These people gathered together to plan "big things", and they also had their own group of staff and ministers under them, and those people had their own small calculations.

How can such a complex composition of forces form a joint force under the leadership of a certain person?

The team in Guangzhou has never made much progress. It has not conquered Shaoguan so far, which can explain a lot of problems.In fact, Xiao Bo attacked from north to south, and Xiao Ying attacked from south to north, pinching Shaoguan, how could they fail to attack?

It is nothing more than Xiao Bo has not openly resisted the Jiankang Center so far, fearing that after the fall of Shaoguan, Xiao Ying, Chen Baxian and others will annex his trilogy!

"They're all scumbags, so don't mention them."

Liu Yishou waved his hand and said indifferently.At this moment, Hu Luxian brought a person to the shore, calling Liu Yishou and Yuan Shikang to come to the shore.

When the two of them came to the shore, they saw a tanned young man bowing to Liu Yishou and saying, "I am a low-ranking Yuwen Hu, and I am here to deliver a letter to the King of Wu. My uncle has entered Jin'an County (Quanzhou), And fought against Xiao Ying's rebels several times, please don't worry about the south."

After speaking, he respectfully presented the bamboo tube at his waist with both hands.

Liu Yishou took the bamboo tube, unwrapped the sealant, took out the letter paper and looked at the ten lines at a glance, knowing it clearly.

Yuwentai is very clear-headed. If he enters the Wuyi Mountains, not only will the mountain road be difficult to walk, but also the logistics will be worrying.It is very irrational to go south to Guangzhou and go to Shaoguan.

Instead, it went all the way south along the southeast coastline, and it was very easy to attack the city.Yu Wentai understood that what he had to do was to restrain the troops of the Xiao clan vassal from Guangzhou to go north.

Since it is containment, it is enough to consume at low cost, and it is not for him to conquer Guangzhou!In line with the principle that wherever he can fight, Yu Wentai followed the coastal route that Liu Yishou was familiar with in his previous life.

From Fuzhou to Quanzhou, Quanzhou to Xiamen, Xiamen to Shantou, Shantou to Shenzhen, Shenzhen to Guangzhou, this road is advancing.

If the army could not go, they used sea boats to cross the river, and all the supplies were transported by sea along the coastline. The progress was very fast, and it had already caused a little trouble for the feudal lords in Guangzhou.

"Your uncle asked me to arrange for you to work in the center. Now it's Chinese New Year, so you should rest up in Shouyang first. After the Spring Festival, you can go to Jiankang with me."

Liu Yishou patted Yu Wenhu on the shoulder and said.

I already have a preliminary plan in my mind to deal with the vassal forces in Guangzhou and Xiangzhou.

Chapter 555

"I sent a box of silver cakes, and you will return me a jar of ashes?"

In the study of the mansion in Shouyang City, Liu Yishou received Cui Ang, the envoy of the Eastern Wei Dynasty, who brought Lan Jing's ashes.

"It's just by weight, are you humiliating me?"

Liu Yishou stared at Cui Ang, and asked angrily.

If it wasn't for the fact that Cui Ang is Cui Xiaofen's nephew, Liu Yishou would have asked Yuan Shikang to push him out and behead him in protest.But maybe it was because of this that Gao Huan sent Cui Ang as an envoy to return Lan Jing's ashes, deliberately disgusting him.

"Liu Dudu, didn't you see that this is Gao Huan's plan to alienate..."

Cui Ang looked at Liu Yishou with a wry smile and said, if possible, he would definitely not want to take this trip.Cui Xiaofen was his uncle, the reason why he didn't join him was because Cui was "hedge his bet".

But Cui Ang is not stupid. Now Liu Yishou's development momentum is very good, and Cui's family keeps raising bets. If he offends the other party, he will definitely kill himself.

The matter of returning Lan Jing's ashes is in itself Gao Huan's fault. He kindly paid for the ransom, and you send back the urn in the end. Isn't that a slap in the face?

As the envoy who carried out this matter, Cui Ang felt that there was a high probability that he would be angered.I just feel that there is no light in the bleak life.

"It's alright, you go back and tell Gao Huan that the kindness you received today will be repaid a hundred times in the future, and you will repay it in the spring. Just bring the original words, and I won't make things difficult for you."

Liu Yishou said while suppressing his anger.

Cui Ang felt relieved, cupped his hands and confessed: "Thank you Governor Liu for your understanding, I, Cui Shi, will never forget it."

Liu Yishou waved his hand, too lazy to talk nonsense with him.Cui Ang then cautiously exited the study room. The cold wind outside the door made his back feel chilly.

After Cui Ang left, Liu Yishou looked at the simple white porcelain jar on the table, which contained Lan Jing's ashes, of course, it was only part of it, just for meaning.

"You and Gao Cheng died together, why bother? I thought you would bear it."

Liu Yishou sighed with emotion.

Cui Ang's family has a lot of relationship with him, not only a sister gave birth to him, but also many people worked under him, which made Liu Yishou unable to vent his temper against Cui Ang.

But Cui Ang was also a sensible person, and told Liu Yishou about Lan Jing's assassination of Gao Cheng in detail. This was definitely not Gao Huan's order.

From Liu Yishou's point of view, Lan Jing still had a chance to survive if he didn't act impulsively.

To be honest, it's really not worth it to exchange one with Gao Cheng's limit.Judging from Gao Cheng's high-profile and deadly behavior, he will die unexpectedly sooner or later.

One more Lan Jing is just to get on the road earlier.

"This matter is not easy to handle."

Liu Yishou frowned slightly, feeling uneasy in his heart.

Gao Huan's face-slapping can be considered crazy, but Liu Yishou is not easy to vent his anger on others, such as taking out his anger on Gao Ling, and it is difficult for him to regain his position in a short period of time, which is really hard to appease.

"That's all, He Liuhun, He Liuhun, let's make you proud for two days. This account will be settled with you sooner or later."

Liu Yishou now deeply feels that even if you hold great power, you don't actually get what you want, and many things are actually powerless. For example, Lan Jing didn't manage well.

Even if it's not his Liu someone's problem.

"It's going to be an uneasy life for a whole year!"

The day after tomorrow is New Year's Day, Liu Yishou was really disgusted by Gao Huan.Of course, it is not unusual for Gao Huan to take revenge.If he knew the specific situation of Gao Ling on his side, Gao Huan's anger would be even stronger.

Gao Ling's appearance of being happy and indulgent on the bed would make any father's blood pressure explode.Thinking of this, Liu Yishou felt guilty again.

After thinking about it carefully, he understood the other party a little bit.

However, this mood only lasted for less than half an hour before it was broken by another incident.

In the study room, Wang Wei, Chen Yuankang and others all looked solemn, looking at the human head in the wooden box on the desk case, speechless for a while.I don't know if Shouyang is a place where martial arts are too prosperous. Liu Yishou who celebrated the Chinese New Year either received an urn or a wooden box containing human heads, which has nothing to do with stability and harmony.

"Is this the genuine Xiao Yu?"

Liu Yishou asked, pointing to the heads on the table.

"That's right, the subordinates ordered people to confirm it repeatedly. After repeated verifications, it was confirmed that this is Xiao Yu's head. The Guangling Palace also said that Xiao Yu had been missing for a while."

Wang Wei also didn't know what to say.

Whether it's Liu Yishou or his subordinates who celebrate the New Year, no one intends to do such unsightly things.He didn't even think about what to do to Xiao Yu.

However, it happens that the sky fails to fulfill people's wishes. Those who deserve to die, those who want to die, can't live for more than one day!

"The end of the new year is approaching, and Xiao Yu from Guangling (Yangzhou) took a sea boat to go north on the pretext of going out to hunt. Because he was not familiar with the waterway, the boat ran aground on the coast of Beihai County, and he had to disembark and go north by land.

As a result, by coincidence, the group was caught by Yang Yaren, the prefect of Beihai County (Lianyungang) who was out of the city for inspection.

I don't know what Yang Yaren was thinking, he didn't report it, so he beheaded Xiao Yu directly, and then sent an official document back saying that Xiao Yu tried to defect to Wei State, and was beheaded while resisting arrest.

Everything, that's it..."

Wang Wei told Liu Yishou the whole story of Xiao Xi's murder.

All in all, the feudal lord expected that his own outcome might not be too good, and Liu Yishou would liquidate him sooner or later, so we respect you first!But I didn't expect that the sea boat would run aground, he would be caught by Yang Yaren, and the other party would kill him without any martial ethics!

If Yang Yaren had reported to Liu Yishou with one more word, Xiao Yu would have survived.

"Yang Yaren is really good at life."

Liu Yishou snorted twice and said, no joy or anger could be heard in his tone.

"My lord is right. If Yang Yaren sends Xiao Yu back, Xiao Yu's claim that he lost his way while hunting is justified, then Yang Yaren will be meddling in his own business.

Anyway, it is impossible for the lord to do anything to Xiao Yu, and in the end he had to be served and sent back to Guangling.Thinking about it, the lord would definitely blame Yang Yaren for being ignorant in his heart at that time.

Now Yang Yaren beheaded Xiao Yu easily, and the lord also saved the trouble of dealing with the disobedient vassal. He also expressed his loyalty to the lord by the way, and he will be liquidated in the future. Naturally, he will become one of his own. It's killing two birds with one stone. "

Wang Wei laughed and said, people's minds have changed, and many details can be seen.

Xiao Xi's misbehavior actually involved all the people in the same lineage as the former prince Xiao into big trouble.Xiao Yu's escape should be said to be a reasonable thing, but firstly, he was not lucky, and secondly, he did not take into account the change in people's hearts.

Yang Kan and Yang Yaren are both family members who came from the north and took refuge in Xiao Yan.It is obvious that Liu Yishou's rise to the position is of great benefit to these people.People from the Yang family have been excluded since they arrived in Jiangdong, and even when they become officials, they have to send money to Zhu Yi to get what they want.

How could they be grateful to the Xiao family!

Now Liu Yishou tends to take his place. How these people should stand in line is actually self-evident.It can only be said that if Xiao Yu hadn't run away, if his boat hadn't run aground, if what he had met hadn't been Yang Yaren...he might not have died tragically in the end.

"Time is fate, fate is fate, I really didn't intend to touch Xiao Yu, I can only say that he thinks too much."

Liu Yishou sighed softly, a little bit sorry for Xiao Yu, of course, this was also caused by the fake compassion of a cat crying for a mouse.

Wang Wei folded his sleeves and saluted.Just listen to Liu Yishou's words. If he didn't feel the icy cold, how could Xiao Yu take the risk?

It is precisely because Xiao Yu feels that staying in Liang State is very hopeless, he might as well rely on Gao Huan, and in the future he will lead the way to fight against Liu Yishou, so he will rush away without any preparation!
