Governor please stay

Why didn't Liu Yishou hesitate about Xiao Yuan's self-reliance in Hanzhong?

Because there is a very easy-to-understand reason: Xiao Ji is Xiao Yuanzhao's biological father.

The so-called inseparable closeness, no matter how extravagant the court's rhetoric, cannot replace emotional closeness.If the same conditions were offered, Xiao Ji's words would definitely be more effective.So Liu Yishou felt that he had to act quickly and not give Xiao Ji a chance to make up for his mistakes.

It is normal for father and son to have conflicts, but when faced with a son who has made a mistake, the father usually does not beat him to death with a stick, but gives the other party a chance to reform.

Xiao Yan was like this back then. I don't know how many opportunities he gave to Xiao's children, but it's a pity that many of them never cherished it.

Now the matter between Xiao Yuanzhao and Xiao Ji has not developed to the point of getting out of hand.As long as he handles it properly, Xiao Ji can actually fill this loophole.

Xiao Ji could use all kinds of pressure to make Xiao Yuanzhao's subordinates alienate him, and Xiao Yuanzhao, who had lost his power, obviously had no choice but to obey Xiao Ji's arrangements in order to survive.Normal people are not going to die.

It's just that the change of people's hearts takes time and the influence of the external environment, Xiao Ji can only figure it out slowly.

If the imperial court moved slowly and the envoys and troops did not appear in Hanzhong in time, then Xiao Yuanzhao would definitely not be able to withstand Xiao Ji's soldiers and horses, nor could he play with Xiao Ji's private tricks.

The worst outcome is that Xiao Yuan admits to being cowardly, and then maintains the same caliber with Xiao Ji, and unite to resist the interference of the imperial court.

At that time, the situation was very passive for Liu Yishou.

The soldiers and horses of the imperial court have been mobilized and are marching towards Hanzhong. Is it better to withdraw to Jiankang, or to bite the bullet and fight Hanzhong?Either way, it would be very inappropriate.

It was a blow to Liu Yishou's prestige.

There is a saying: When the opportunity is too late, it will never come again.

That's the case.

You can't spare yourself when you do big things. When it's time to take action, you must do it.In many cases, great opportunities are fleeting.Timing is always of the utmost importance.

Therefore, in this matter, all issues such as the number of troops must be sidelined. There are only four words to determine the outcome: soldiers are precious and fast!

Even if Yang Zhong was in Hanzhong with only 500 troops, would Xiao Ji dare to start a war rashly?

The answer is obviously no.

Because Yang Zhong and the others are not fighting as an army, standing behind them is the Jiankang Center, which is a large amount of political and military resources that can be mobilized in the entire Liang Kingdom!

If he acted rashly, Xiao Ji would be tantamount to a rebellion. It is not easy to say whether his troops will follow him all the way to the dark.

What's more, Yang Zhong's troops are only the vanguard, and Liu Yishou will arrange [-] soldiers to support them later, and then they will stay in Hanzhong!

It is easy to ask God to send God away, but after the actual control of Hanzhong, there are more choices to be made.Occupying this strategically important place, it is much easier to attack Shu land than to enter Shu land along the Yangtze River.

And if you occupy Hanzhong, you will get the ticket to enter Guanzhong!

After Mao Xi left, Liu Yishou paced in the study, staring at the map on the wall in a daze.

He was really anxious, that kind of urgency that his heart was burned by flames, and he wished to hear the good news that the imperial army occupied Hanzhong tomorrow.

However, Liu Yishou also knew that this kind of situation was impossible, and there was no use in worrying about many things.Anxiety when waiting, pride when winning.Emotions affect everyone all the time, and no one is immune.

But try to restrain yourself and not be swayed by emotions.

After a while, Liu Yishou waited until Yang Zhong came to the study of King Wu's Mansion wearing a coarse cloth, without even tidying his hair, looking very embarrassed.

"My lord, over there in Hanzhong... is there any arrangement?"

Yang Zhong asked in a deep voice.

Use me in the first battle, use me to win!

Now he is used to this rhythm.Calling him up at night was not because of dislike, on the contrary, only important generals and trusted civil servants were given this treatment.

Yang Zhong's heart was hot, but his face was calm.

Liang Guo's military system is relatively chaotic, and it is not easy to dispatch large troops, and it is necessary to coordinate various ministries.Liu Yishou did not completely flatten the soldiers and horses on the hilltops in the country, but only abolished the "hereditary military system" that restricted the freedom of tenants and hereditary succession of tribal generals.

In Liang Jun, a small group of elite soldiers is of great use.Those who know how to use them can maximize the strength of elite soldiers.Liang Jun's elite small stocks have always performed well, and this was the case in Xiao Yan's era.

It is a pity that the more troops participating in the war, the more useless they will be, and their strength will decrease due to the increase in number.

"If Xiao Yuanzhao allows you to enter the city, then when Xiao Ji's soldiers and horses come, they must go out of the city to fight in the field, and defeat the enemy in one battle! If Xiao Yuanzhao does not allow you to enter the city, then you will be stationed outside the city. When Ji's men came, they backed away and let them attack the city.

The main force of the imperial court arrived later.If the timing is right, you can do it cheaply.But in any case, there is a principle that only field battles are allowed, not to defend the city, let alone attack the city. "

Liu Yishou informed Yang Zhong of the policy of this operation, which was almost a word of mouth.

"My lord, is the number of our army too small this time?"

Yang Zhong asked with some doubts.

"It's really not enough, but the army is now dispatching, waiting for departure and then arriving, I don't know that it is the year of the monkey.

Xiao Ji absolutely cannot wait for us to calmly arrange it before responding.They are closer to Hanzhong, and I have no choice.

Moreover, some elite soldiers should be left to guard against those people in Guanzhong.

So...it's hard to choose, I can only wrong you a bit. "

Liu Yishou patted Yang Zhong's generous shoulder and said.

"Understood, please rest assured, my lord."

Yang Zhong cupped his hands and said.

When the wind is high and the waves are turbulent, Fang shows his true qualities as a hero.If everything is ready and everything is arranged, just call a general to go over and get it done.Yang Zhong felt that it was not enough to show his ability.

"I have always been at ease in your work."

Liu Yishou nodded slightly. Seeing that Yang Zhong still had questions to ask, he added:

"Duan Xiao first came here from a long distance, and his heart is very sincere. This time, let him go to Hanzhong with you. If there is anything difficult to decide, you can ask him for more opinions, and finally you can make up your mind.

Everything depends on you.

As for Xiao Yuanzhao, if he has objections, he can kill him without leaving any future troubles. You can decide for yourself. "

Liu Yishou said indifferently.

Yang Zhong was taken aback for a moment, then he understood and retreated.

After Yang Zhong left, Liu Yishou sent someone to Wang Wei's house and called him to his study.

"Looking at you, it doesn't seem like you got out of bed."

Liu Yishou looked at the neatly dressed Wang Wei, and said teasingly.It's already this point, and the hour has passed, it is impossible for someone to get up from the bed and come to him quickly and still be fully dressed.

Unless you don't sleep at all!

"Who says it's not? People from Yuan Quan's family found Yuan Mingyue and begged me to say something nice to the lord, and put their daughter in the lord's place, alas!"

Thinking of this terrible incident, Wang Wei looked depressed.

Li Zuyi's demonstration effect is very powerful, and the news that Liu Yishou deliberately let people release has indeed played the role of buying bones with a lot of money.

Even the members of the Yuan family couldn't sit still.

"This kind of thing is fine, you can do whatever you want. I am in a hurry to call you here tonight, because I want you to go to Hanzhong, and you must arrive before Yang Zhong's soldiers arrive. Then tell Xiao Yuan about the advantages and disadvantages, and tell him The imperial court will definitely support him!

You are a member of the imperial court and my confidant, and your words are comparable to a hundred thousand troops.Xiao Yuanzhao will definitely listen to your orders.

Even if it doesn't work, you are an envoy of the imperial court, Xiao Ji and his son can't do anything to you, after all, they are not from the state of Wei, and they have not publicly turned against the imperial court.

I asked Dai Zigao to follow you around, and ten Luodiao people were my personal guards.If things are not in harmony, it is feasible to tell the story of Ban Chao beheading the Huns' envoys. "

Liu Yishou stretched out his right hand and made a chopping gesture.

Wang Wei was taken aback when he heard this, and then thought of something.He lowered his voice and asked, "Master, you mean those people in Guanzhong..."

"It's just to be prepared, and it doesn't rule out the possibility that the people in Guanzhong knew about it."

Liu Yishou said calmly.

He made two preparations, one hand let Yang Zhong lead his troops to Hanzhong quickly, and resupply along the way.Let Wang Wei go first, keep Xiao Yuanzhao steady, use the court's prestige to suppress the situation, and buy time for Yang Zhong.

As for the people in Guanzhong, to be honest, Liu Yishou felt that it was impossible for them to send troops directly.

Going out of Hanzhong from Shu and going out of Hanzhong from Guanzhong are two completely different concepts. The former has a much easier path than the latter!If the troops from Guanzhong want to come to Hanzhong, unless it is a surprise attack, they will basically never return.

No matter what, He Bayue would send someone to contact Xiao Yuanzhao first.If there is an opponent as a support, then the matter of attacking Hanzhong will basically become more than half.

If Xiao Yuanzhao didn't want to see them, He Bayue would have to consider the risk of sending troops, and it was unlikely that he would just be so reckless.If it is not done well, the elite will really be folded in Hanzhong.

Wang Wei took the order and went directly to Jingkou Ferry without going back home.He just sent someone back to talk to Yuan Mingyue Branch.

After Wang Wei left, Liu Yishou sat down in front of the table as if he had collapsed, feeling as though his body had been drained of strength.

It seemed easy for him to make decisions. In fact, he had done his homework on many things on weekdays, made plans, and thought about the consequences.

The incident happened suddenly, and there was no time to think carefully about some things. Liu Yishou almost made his decisions subconsciously, relying entirely on his daily accumulation.

In ancient times, there were no telephones and no Internet. It took time to deliver messages and make decisions in advance.This is very important for the head of a power, and one must not act late.

It is a very high "hard target" to anticipate the enemy's opportunity in everything.

To some extent, "breaking" is much more important than "seeking".Judgment is the leader's first ability, and his lack of resourcefulness can be made up by his advisers.

If the lord can both plan and break, then he is born to be an emperor.

Liu Yishou's ability to make decisions on the fly is unparalleled in the world. He can always make correct judgments in the shortest possible time.

However, even for such a powerful person, after making a decision, he cannot fully control the next thing, and there are very few measures he can take.

There is a saying that "it depends on people to make things happen", which means that whether you can succeed or not, many times you need some luck, which can be reversed by non-manpower.

Everything can only be "do your best and obey the destiny".

……

There are no impervious walls in the world.

Xiao Ji, Xiao Yuanzhao's father and son had conflicts, Xiao Yuanzhao was named "King of Hanzhong", and all kinds of bloody things that disobeyed Xiao Ji's management also spread like wildfire with the passage of time.

All parties concerned about this matter are planning intensively.

He has been staring at Hanzhong all the time, because of Hanzhong's gain and loss, and because of the reform of the government soldiers, he lost the chance of rescue, so that He Bayue, who was almost crazy in Chang'an, knew immediately that Xiao Yuanzhao had driven Xiao Ji away. His confidantes tried in vain to rule Hanzhong alone!

Like Liu Yishou, he also thinks this is a rare opportunity to seize Hanzhong!

If there is a single flock of sheep running in groups on the grassland, it will often attract the coveted eyes of multiple hunters.When Liu Yishou decided to attack Hanzhong, He Bayue was also ready to move.

As soon as he got the news, He Bayue immediately summoned Su Chuo, Wei Xiaokuan, Li Bi and others to the mansion to discuss important matters.

After He Bayue informed everyone about the news from Hanzhong, he didn't wait for cheers and eagerness to try. Several people present, including Su Chuo, all frowned and said nothing.

"Why are you silent?"

He Bayue asked with a slight frown, feeling a little upset.

He wished he could send troops out tomorrow, and hoped that everyone would join him, and it would be best to propose it on his own initiative.

"There are five roads from Guanzhong to Hanzhong. Counting from the east, they are Kugu Road, Luogu Road, Ziwu Road, Baoxie Road, and the famous Chencang Road. They are all rugged and difficult, and they need someone from Hanzhong to assist them.

Otherwise, the march is extremely risky.

I don't know which way the lord wants to send troops? "

Su Chuo asked hesitantly, he didn't think this was a good opportunity.

He Bayue was taken aback, they had conquered Hanzhong before, it was because there were two or five sons in Liang Guo, and the governor Yang Qianyun acted as a support.So I didn't feel how difficult it was to conquer Hanzhong.

Now that Lao Yang has already been beheaded by Xiao Ji for public display, where can they find internal support?

"My lord, the reorganization of the government soldiers has not yet been completed.

Although it is not a big problem to force troops, once we encounter Liang Jun's elite, we may not be able to beat the opponent.At that time, the army will not be able to take Hanzhong when it enters, and it will not be able to return to Guanzhong when it retreats, but what should we do? "

Wei Xiaokuan unceremoniously pointed out the biggest flaw in He Bayue's thinking: the reorganization of the government soldiers has not been completed, and the combat power has not been tested!

"My lord, you might as well write a book and send it to Xiao Yuanzhao in Hanzhong, and then promise a lot of profit. If Xiao Yuanzhao agrees, this game of chess will come to fruition."

Su Chuo continued: "Of course, if my lord insists on sending troops, it's not impossible... It's just that the outcome is unpredictable, and there should be no surprises."

Everyone present was well aware of what he vaguely pointed out.

It's okay to fight with Xiao Ji's men, but it's not necessary to fight with Liang Guo's elite.Now we can only hope that Liang Guozhong did not send troops.Or the troops are not dispatched in time.

"In this case, we will send people to Hanzhong first to stabilize Xiao Yuanzhao. Send an army to follow behind and take back Hanzhong. We will have food and grass for the winter."

He Bayue said with a sigh.

Everyone present breathed a sigh of relief, thankfully He Bayue was not overwhelmed by desire.

It is right to send people to explore the way first, and if the situation is found to be wrong, they can immediately withdraw to the pass.This situation is similar to stepping on a dog's poop while walking. It stinks a bit, but it's not a big deal.

"Changsun Jian is resourceful and upright, so he can be a messenger."
