Governor please stay

Chen Baxian muttered to himself, looking at the water in the distance, he could vaguely see the soldiers and horses of the imperial court going south, coming in formation, with steady and ferocious steps!

Lingnan mountains are densely forested and full of miasma, but winter is much better than the other three seasons.If Liu Yishou does not come in winter, it means that the war will not come.

He will still come, right?

……

Chen Ba first made a statement to the court, saying that it was Xiao Gang who raised the rebellion, and Li Qianshi who supported Xiao Gang.He had wiped out Li Qianshi's trilogy and captured Xiao Gang, and now he sent this Marquis (named Marquis of Jing'an) to Jiankang to express that Guangzhou had no intention of rebelling against the imperial court.

Chen Baxian's envoy took Xiao Gang and his dozens of concubines before they left Shaoguan, and they were stopped by Yang Zhong as soon as they reached Nankang County.

Knowing that the situation in Guangzhou had changed, Yang Zhong sent someone to send an urgent letter non-stop. The messenger encountered the main force of the Chinese army led by Liu Yishou in Luling County, north of Nankang County, so he turned back to inform Yang Zhong and let him live Entertain Xiao Gang, don't be negligent.

Ten days later, Liu Yishou arrived in Gan County (Ganzhou City), the prefecture of Nankang County, and joined forces with Yang Zhong's vanguard army. In the government office, he saw Xiao Gang, who looked haggard and gray at the temples when he was less than 40 years old. .

And that Liu Yishou didn't know him at all, he didn't know who he was at all, he was just the head of Li Qianshi... that Mrs. Xian had mentioned.

The first time we met was to see the other party's head. To be honest, it made Liu Yishou quite embarrassed.Li Qianshi, the governor of Gaozhou, who was supposed to be dealt with by him, was actually dealt with by Chen Baxian, who was supposed to be an ally.

It has to be said that this is indeed an unspeakable irony.

Killing people and setting fire to the gold belt is a job with extremely high returns and high risks, and it is indeed not easy.

After sending someone to throw Li Qianshi's head in a mass grave, Liu Yishou bowed his hands to Xiao Gang who had been waiting for a long time, looked at him with a half-smile and said nothing.

"The sinner, Xiao Gang, has met King Wu."

Xiao Gang folded his sleeves with both hands in an unusual humility, bent down and made a big salute.

"I heard that my third uncle (Xiao Gang is the third eldest) lives in Guangzhou very comfortably. At the beginning, I thought that my third uncle had too many concubines, so I cut it by more than half, but now you have dozens more. Concubines... and there are many more children, these are true, or are those ignorant people spreading nonsense."

Liu Yishou took out a small file to trim his nails, sat down on the main seat in the hall of the government office, and asked casually.

"Not much, really not much, not much."

Xiao Gang couldn't help wiping the cold sweat on his forehead with his cuff. Obviously, although Liu Yishou was far away in Jiankang, he knew his daily life very well.

"It's not much, just over 20. Your increment is more than my stock!"

Liu Yishou raised his head to look at Xiao Gang, and said angrily, "After you left Jiankang, your sister Xiao Yujin only gave birth to one, but you actually gave birth to more than 20. She is very jealous of you, you know?"

"Is it the next one, is it the next one, please forgive me, King Wu..."

Xiao Gang kept apologizing, knowing that the other party was deliberately finding fault, but there was nothing he could do.

Situation is stronger than people, but the current Liu Yishou is really too strong!

Facing the hob-like meat of Xiao Gang, Liu Yishou was angry and funny.He didn't intend to do anything to Xiao Gang, he just wanted to tease the former Emperor of Liang.Unexpectedly, Xiao Gang has already developed antibodies after being repeatedly ravaged by various tyrants these years.

It doesn't matter, it's the same everywhere.Ever since this Hou Ye "gave up treatment", his heart has become wider and wider. No one can do anything to him, unless he is killed with a knife.

The meaning of Chen Baxian sending Xiao Gang is also very clear: I don't want to play anymore, how about we trade PY?

"Yang Zhong, send Lord Hou to rest. By the way, those wives and concubines who accompanied him should be rewarded to the lieutenant generals, and let them thank Lord Hou."

Liu Yishou turned his head sideways and said to Yang Zhong who had already "settled" beside him.

"Uh... my lord, the last general doesn't need it."

Yang Zhong asked with some fear.

"It's up to you, this kind of thing doesn't matter."

Liu Yishou waved his hand and asked Yang Zhong to take Xiao Gang away.

Today he intuitively felt what it means "a phoenix with shedding hair is not as good as a chicken". Now that Xiao Gang has no energy, he is already a dead person, a spiritually dead person.

"My lord, Chen Baxian doesn't want to play anymore! In this round, how can he not play if he doesn't want to?"

Wang Wei held Chen Baxian's handwritten letter and said bitterly, with a look of disdain.

To use Liu Yishou's words in his previous life, the current situation is: I have already opened a house, and you tell me that you are afraid of pain and stop playing?

The war machine has already been activated, and the knife is about to see blood when it is drawn out of the sheath. It is not because Chen Ba first said that he would not play, so he can not play!

"Chen Ba first won Li Qianshi, thinking that he had the conditions to bargain with me! If he takes his family to Jiankang, I promise not to play, and An An will take over Guangzhou with his troops steadily.

On the one hand, he said that he would not play anymore, and on the other hand, he wanted to be the local emperor in Guangzhou. How could there be such a good thing in the world! "

Liu Yishou waved his hand and said with a sneer.I don't know whether Chen Ba's ancestors were beautiful or not, but they thought beautifully.

This trip to the south to suppress the rebellion has won the support of many neutral factions and peripheral forces in Liang Guo. Others have made great efforts to provide money and food this time, and it is not for listening to Chen Baxian and Wu Nong's soft words!

The imperial army's anti-rebellion army went south to Guangzhou for the purpose of eating banquets, and whose banquets to eat. Chen Baxian didn't have much oil on his body, so he obviously didn't eat his banquets, but the local powerful ones in Guangzhou.

Guangzhou is remote and rich. Because of its special geographical location, it opened up overseas trade very early and accumulated a lot of wealth.

After the army occupies Guangzhou, it is definitely not to talk about benevolence, justice and morality with the local tyrants!After eating this wave of bonuses, Liu Yishou had the strength to go north to wrestle with Gao Huan.

Does this mean that you can stop if you stop?

Xiao Gang, Chen Baxian, etc. are all excuses for the court to suppress the rebellion. They can't just put up the slogan "I'm here to hang you on the telephone pole", right?

It was precisely this that Chen Baxian noticed, that's why he wanted to quit. Unfortunately, he still couldn't think about it, couldn't let go, and couldn't bear to part with it.

It is always said that a strong man cuts his wrist, but how many people have such determination and courage?

"The plan remains the same. We are temporarily stationed in Nankang County, waiting for news from Mrs. Xian. I hope Wang Lin and Wang Sengbian won't make Chen Baxian wait too long.

If Chen Ba is the first to take the blame and come to Nankang County to ask for his surrender, it will really make me unable to get down.When the time comes, what do you think I should do with him? "

Liu Yishou looked at Wang Wei and smiled.

"The subordinates are also afraid of this. In order to recruit surrenders and rebels in the future, if Chen Ba first asks to surrender, we really can't do anything to him, and even send someone to protect him. This is too aggrieved."

Wang Wei spread his hands helplessly, wishing in his heart that Chen Baxian would not be cowardly in this wave.If Chen Ba was persuaded first, Liu Yishou's return to Jiankang would be a good thing on the surface, but in fact he would be reduced to a laughing stock.

Just the fact that some neutral factions come to force the palace is enough for Liu Yishou to drink a pot.

"Who knows then?"

Liu Yishou said this, but he knew in his heart that the founding emperor of the Chen Dynasty in history would never be cowardly!

Chapter 593 For the well-being of future generations

Knowing that the imperial army had settled in Nankang County, Chen Baxian quickly withdrew his troops, and dispatched Hou Andu and his nephew Chen Qian to lead troops to station in Shaoguan to resist the imperial army.

Then why didn't Liu Yishou raid Shaoguan before Chen Baxian could react and take advantage?

Because there was no way to sneak attack, the way for the army to advance was blocked, even if a small group of soldiers and horses barely conquered Shaoguan, it would be of no use!

Gan County of Nankang County is on the bank of the Gan River, and the waterway leads to Yuzhang County, which is connected to the Yangtze River through Poyang Lake. The grain and grass from Jiankang are continuously sent to Gan County. The barracks, as the base camp of the Southern Expedition!

However, the convenience of the waterway was cut off in the Annan area south of Gan County (the county was not established at this time). Liu Yishou took Hu Luxian and his scout team to personally go to Nanye County, which is the closest to Annan, and then his heart was cold. Halfway through!

When Qin Shihuang sent troops to conquer Lingnan, Qin built three passes in Wuling, namely Hengpu Pass, Yangshan Pass and Huangjigu Pass. Among them, Hengpu Pass is located here, also known as Dayuling "Qin Pass".

The pass road built in the Qin Dynasty has not undergone any formal or large-scale maintenance and repairs for more than 700 years, and it has been devastated by wars in the middle, and the old pass road is even more dilapidated.

Now it has become a "Lingdong Abandoned Road", encroached by jungles and impassable for several miles.There are huge boulders in the road, just like mountains and fields.

It's okay to pass a team of several people, but it's as difficult as the heavens to pass the luggage and large troops!

No wonder Chen Baxian dared to do things in Guangzhou with confidence, he was sure that the court would have nothing to do with him.

Even if they managed to pass through the Annan region, it would be as difficult as climbing the sky to attack Shaoguan!

Since I can't get out and you can't get in, why don't we just live in peace like this?

Capturing Shaoguan from Guangzhou and going south to Shaoguan from the north are two completely different difficulties.

"How can I go this way!"

At the entrance of the mountain road, Liu Yishou looked up at Dayu Ridge, which was not so tall, but extremely deep, and asked in a muttering voice.

Hu Luxian next to him was also dumbfounded. The man from the grassland had never seen this kind of mountain road. If his side was marching here, Chen Ba would lie in ambush inside.

The picture is so beautiful, I really dare not even think about it.

"My lord, there is still a land route and a water route to Guangzhou."

Wang Wei whispered calmly beside Liu Yishou.

"But it's not easy to go, is it?"

Liu Yishou asked angrily.If it is easy to leave, based on Wang Wei's calculations, can you not say it?

"My lord is right. As far as the waterway is concerned, the Lingqu (Xianggui Canal) must be dredged. Now the Lingqu is silted up and almost stopped flowing, so let's not mention it. The other road is from Xiangzhou to Hengyang and then to Bin County. After crossing the mountains You can also go south to Shaoguan.

It's just... that road is even more difficult to walk!On the contrary, it is not as good as Dayuling Ancient Road. "

Xiao Yan only cared about eating vegetarian food and reciting Buddha's name, so why would he cultivate ancient paths?If he worked hard, he would not be called "Xiao Bodhisattva" by others.

"It's a little tricky."

Liu Yishou nodded slightly and said, but his thoughts drifted far away. He remembered that when he traveled here, the mountains and plains were full of plum blossoms. At that time, this place was already called Meiguan Ancient Road.At that time, I only felt that the scenery here was beautiful and picturesque, but I didn't feel how dangerous it was.

After all, the altitude of Dayuling Mountains is not high. It is obviously not unreasonable to use this place as the gateway to break through the south of Lingnan since the Qin Dynasty.

"How long is this road?"

Liu Yishou asked curiously.

Wang Wei thought for a while and replied: "More than 30 miles to the south is the northernmost tip of Anyuan County, and more than a hundred miles to the south is Shaoguan."

In other words, if Liu Yishou's current position was changed to Hebei, fighting Chen Baxian would only be a one-night cavalry raid, so it shouldn't be too fast.

In order to go south with the army to conquer Chen Baxian, Wang Wei did a lot of homework in advance and figured out the main marching routes.The difficulty of attacking Guangzhou lies in Shaoguan.The difficulty of attacking Shaoguan lies in the supply and transportation of large troops.

The difficulty of transportation is that the Dayuling Ancient Road has been in disrepair for a long time, and there is no other shortcut.

In other words, if you want to conquer Shaoguan smoothly, then getting through the Dayuling Ancient Road is the top priority and cannot be avoided.

"It's only a few tens of miles away. When we open a road in the mountains and build a bridge in the water, let's do something good. Let's repair the Dagengling ancient road, and then plant plum trees on both sides of the ancient road to do something good for future generations. Beautiful."

Liu Yishou looked at the barren mountain forest and ancient road, and said thoughtfully.

"My lord! We are going to fight. Is this broken road just to give Chen Ba the time to prepare first? Soldiers are expensive, and soldiers are expensive!"

Wang Wei remembers breaking out in cold sweat, he pulled Liu Yishou's cuff regardless of his posture and growled.

If Liu Yishou was not the lord but a subordinate, he wished he could give him a few slaps to wake him up!

We are here to fight, why don't you wait to build roads?When the road is repaired, the day lily will be cold, what a traitor!

"My lord, it is also possible for us to attack Guangzhou by surprise. There is no need to mobilize people to build this mountain road. Isn't it endless to build a road that is tens of miles long?"

Hu Luxian also spoke persuasively.Liu Yishou is usually wise and powerful, but this time his suggestion is really unreliable.

"Let's not only care about our own comfort when doing things, and leave those difficult problems to future generations. This is not the mentality of doing big things.

With the road repaired, not only our army can go, but in the future countless mountain people from southern Jiangxi will also be able to go south to Guangzhou to seek a living. The seafood from Guangzhou and the goods from foreign vassals traded can also be transported to the north through this road.

This is once and for all, merits in the present, benefit in the future.The predecessors had Qin Yidai who started it. For other things, I, Liu, may as well continue to do it.

I have made up my mind, no need to say more. "

Liu Yishou waved his hands.

"My lord, even though that's the case, it's still unknown how much work will be done to repair this road. Why don't you ask the locals in Nankang County, and you may gain something."

Wang Wei didn't know how to persuade him, so he could only continue talking about the donkey down the slope.

"That's fine, so let's ask first. But I think this place is at the northern end of the ancient road. Why not build a city here, and call it 'Wu Wangcheng'."

Liu Yishou came up with another "bad idea".

But this time Wang Wei and the others didn't say anything.

In all wars, bridgeheads must be built. Retreat can be used as an early warning outpost, and advance can be used as a repair base.It is also common practice to build a city at the entrance of the ancient road, so it is not surprising.

If Liu Yishou's order to repair the Dayuling Ancient Road is a bit whimsical, then the construction of the Wuwang City can still be regarded as a return to normal IQ.

Soon, Hu Luxian was ordered to find local elders and mountain people who were familiar with the situation on the mountain, and sent people to conduct on-the-spot investigations, and completed the ancient Dayuling trail that was tens of miles away.

After field investigation, it was found that there were a few huge broken rocks blocking the way on the ancient road. In other places, it was just trees blocking the route, and the former dirt road was buried due to landslides, causing the road to be rough.

As long as those few big rocks can be resolved, the rest is just to send some more strong men to build the road, and there is no technical obstacle.

At the same time, the construction of King Wu City is also underway. The gate of the city tower is facing the Dagengling Ancient Road. All people who come out of the ancient road must pass through the gate of the city tower.

A small city with a military role, the construction speed is extremely fast.Just after the winter solstice, the King Wu City was repaired.Liu Yishou swiped his pen and left a couplet at the gate of the city, "Come and drink the Qiannan water, and return to Xian and carry the Lingbei cloud".

All the people in Nankang County who could handle a hoe, no matter men, women, old or young, were mobilized to repair the Dayuling Ancient Road. The food and grass from Jiankang and the hard-to-find local materials were sent from Jiankang to Nankang County continuously. .

At the beginning, Xiao Bo and Li Qianshi plotted against Chen Baxian, but later Xiao Bo was killed by Chen Baxian and dedicated Nankang County to Jiankang Center.The impact of this incident is continuing to ferment with effects that the parties involved cannot imagine.
