Governor please stay

Although the weather of heavy rain in late autumn is rare, it is not completely unheard of.

At this moment, the lamp was still burning in the study room of the Nankang County Government Office, and Liu Yishou leaned over his desk to check a sketch he had drawn.It was a conceptual map of the political and economic distribution of the country after the unification of the world in the future.

In his conception, the existing system of counties and counties is called differently in different countries, which is very confusing. It is necessary to uniformly change their names and correct them all. Large states are divided into small states.

To put it simply, it is to fragment local power and prevent local governors from being overwhelmed.

Above the state level, set up a new supervisory unit "Dao". Dao is not an administrative agency, but is responsible for coordinating and distributing the income of the states and counties under its control, confirming the amount of taxes turned over to the central government, what things are used locally, and what things need to be paid. Transported to the capital, and has the duty to supervise the officials under the rule.

The "Tao" overlaps with the existing "Governor's Mansion" system in parallel. One is in charge of local military affairs, and the other is for coordinating the government affairs of various states, and they restrict each other.

In addition, in Liu Yishou's vision, the future country must adopt the method of regionalization of the economic center, frontier military center, and integration of the political center.Set up "five capitals", "four fortresses" and "one capital" throughout the country, and try to stagger the layout of the economic center and the military center.

Among them, Guangzhou, Yangzhou, Yizhou, Chang'an, and Yecheng are the five capitals, all of which are accompanying capitals and have administrative functions higher than those of ordinary counties. They are responsible for providing most of the state's expenses and hoarding materials sent by surrounding counties. , supervising transshipment and so on.

After the unification of the world, we must first clean up the grassland peoples, then reoccupy the northeast, develop the northeast, and build the Grand Canal to connect the north and the south.

There are some things that Liu Yishou can do, but there are some things that Liu Yishou can't finish and can only be left to the next generation.

"Sure enough, it's best to be a fool and a tyrant."

Liu Yishou stretched, stood up and paced back and forth.As long as you are human, you will love leisure and hate work, this is nature.

The emperor's responsibility is too heavy, not everyone's shoulders can bear it.Since we can’t afford it and life is so short, it’s obvious that carpe diem is the mainstream. How many people care about how the world is doing?

In fact, Liu Yishou was very lonely in his heart. Many things were clearly on his lips, but when he said them, he would turn them into nonsense such as "Of course it will be like this. Is there any problem?"

He could only endure.

In the history of Liu Yishou's previous life, although the Tang Dynasty was criticized in some places, it did create a great scene of "the unity of the four seas".None of Liu Yishou's subordinates could have expected this big scene, nor did they dare to think about it.

Hundreds of years of separatism and wars have made them lose their vision.This is the limitation of the times, not that they are too stupid.

The closer he was to the unification of the world, the more Liu Yishou felt the suffocation of loneliness.

In the past, I wanted to survive, fearing that one day I would lose my head. All I could think about was how to defeat the enemy, how to absorb power, and how to stabilize my position.In this process, people may think very differently from person to person, but generally they act in the same way.

Liu Yishou didn't think there was any essential difference between him and those powerful ministers in history, maybe it was just because of his good looks.

However, when the superiority reaches a certain level, when the dynasty is about to change, the things that were pursued in the past will in turn become shackles.Those things that were talked about before are not worth mentioning.

So he needs more and heavier things in his life to justify himself.If you control the world, but you can't do anything for the people of the world, then what is the use of this power?

Liu Yishou's shadow twisted with the swaying of the oil lamp. After a long time, there was a sigh.

"Send the mayfly to the world, like a drop in the vast ocean. I mourn the moment of my life, and envy the infinity of the Yangtze River. Human life is too short."

Just as he was sighing leisurely, Yuan Shikang, who was wearing a coir raincoat full of rain, pushed the door in and said, "My lord, Li Bi led his troops to conquer Nanzheng, and Xiao Yuanzhao died in battle! General Yang wrote to ask whether to attack."

The bamboo tube sealed with wax was handed over, and the messenger was still outside the door. Liu Yishou waved his hand without hesitation and said, "Let him take the letter back and tell Yang Zhong that he can kill it by himself."

"Here!"

Yuan Shikang put the bamboo tube back again, turned around and left.

After he left, Wang Wei also came to the government office study, and asked with some concern: "My lord, Nanzheng has fallen, shall we not attack Hanzhong?"

He asked a very crucial question.Whoever occupies the grain and grass in Hanzhong will get almost "inexhaustible" supplies.Now that Wei Jun has taken the initiative, if he doesn't do anything again, it's hard to say what will happen later.

"Before I left, I had already told Yang Zhong that I could end it myself. But now he wrote another letter and came back to ask what to do. What do you think is the reason?"

Liu Yishou asked with a smile.

Wang Wei understood, then nodded and said: "It must be a situation that he also finds it difficult to encounter, and it is unknown whether to kill first and then play."

"That's right. Only the front-line generals know the situation on the battlefield. Now that power has been delegated this time, it's not appropriate to interfere excessively. Just rest assured."

How can I rest assured when I ride a horse!

Hearing this, Wang Wei was completely dumbfounded, but he couldn't replace Liu Yishou to make a decision.

"It's all about peace of mind."

Liu Yishou put his hand on Wang Wei's shoulder and continued, "I'll cover him if he loses, so don't panic."

……

Liu Yishou was indeed not in a panic, he still had time to think about the plan after the unification of the world, but his not being in a panic did not mean that Yang Zhong was not in a panic. In fact, Yang Zhong hesitated for a long time whether to send the battle report to Ankang County.

It started to rain yesterday, and Li Bi led his troops to take advantage of the heavy rain to storm Nanzheng and win the battle.

On the surface, Xiao Yuanzhao's troops were "tightly guarded", but they were useless at all. Comparing him to a belly of a fish would even give them a high look.When fighting with Li Bi's army, he was almost defeated at the touch of a finger.

Facing Nanzheng City, which is not tall, Li Bi asked people to build a few ladders to go up. Xiao Yuanzhao didn't understand military affairs, so he probably didn't know that defending the city is a highly technical job, which is more difficult than fighting bravely in battle. too much.

It doesn't mean that the army can defend the city by staying on the city wall. There are too many details involved.

Yang Zhong got the news right away, but Duan Shao had a completely different opinion from him on the matter of "whether to attack or not".

Duan Shao believes that although the Wei army conquered Nanzheng and apparently controlled supplies and food, this was not the case in reality.Because they had too few soldiers and horses, they could not transport the food and grass in Hanzhong back, and they could not expand the results of the battle and completely captured the entire Hanzhong.

These supplies cannot be transformed into the strength of the army for the time being!

Therefore, it is very likely that Li Bi will stand by and wait for help, and he should not make any moves in the near future.

Before the soldiers and horses from Guanzhong arrive, the entire Hanzhong will be in a period of severe shock.If we don't move, then Xiao Ji, who is stationed in the Jiange, will not watch Hanzhong being taken away by Wei's soldiers.

After finding out the number of Wei Jun, Xiao Ji is likely to send troops to Hanzhong, and may even be on his way.

It's not the best time to make a move at this time.

If he fails to do so, Xiao Ji will definitely face off against Li Bi's elite soldiers.

If Xiao Ji wins, the imperial court's soldiers and horses can march westward to Hanzhong in a large scale, forcing Xiao Ji to retreat back to Shu. If he does not retreat, it will be tantamount to rebellion and give the imperial court an excuse to attack Shu.

If Li Bi wins, the veterans must be exhausted. At that time, we will go directly to pick up the leaks. After the reinforcements from the court arrive, we can even capture the Jiange.Feel free to find an excuse.For example, Xiao Ji was not strong enough to defend the land of Shu, so the imperial court helped him guard the pass and so on.

It's the best of both worlds.

If Li Bi really can't think about attacking Chenggu County, then we can just wait for work and defeat them directly.

I have to say that Duan Shao's strategy of "two tigers competing for food" is indeed remarkable.But there is still a problem that cannot be ignored: what if Xiao Ji is cowardly and directly withdraws to Shu?

Yang Zhong asked this question, but Duan Shao said: "At that time, Xiao Ji probably thought that his second son would be the new King of Hanzhong, and seeing that Li Bi only had a thousand troops, it was inevitable to take risks."

Only a thousand soldiers and horses...Yang Zhong thought about it for a while, and it seemed that what Duan Shao said was indeed very reasonable. If he was Xiao Ji, he would also be reluctant to part with this piece of fat in Hanzhong.

Xiao Yuanzhao died in battle and paid the price for his ignorance.But Yang Zhong didn't want to delay Liu Yishou's attack on Hanzhong because of his negligence.So he wrote Duan Shao's idea into a letter, and ordered people to send it to Ankang County as soon as possible, so that Liu Yishou could make a decision.

However, since he is the lord, of course his inner thoughts cannot be guessed at will by his subordinates.Yang Zhong received a reply the next day, um, the letter he wrote was not even sealed.

The meaning is already obvious: just let go of your hands and feet, and you can do whatever you want.

Seeing this "reply letter", Yang Zhong was speechless for a long time, and finally looked at Duan Shao who was also silent and asked: "Xiaoxian, what do you think?"

"Li Bi has won a new victory, and his morale is high. But the Guanzhong soldiers' habit of looting cannot be changed. We will not move for the time being, and at the same time send someone to Jiange to inform Xiao Ji of Nanzheng's fall. He will definitely take action."

At this moment, Yang Zhong's personal soldiers led a man who looked like a scribe to the study where they were now. The two of them took a closer look and found that it was Chen Zhizu who was released back to Shu by them!

As soon as they met, Chen Zhizu bowed to Yang Zhong and said: "The king of Wuling County (Xiao Ji) has led his troops to settle in Mianyang. The bandit army broke through Nanzheng and killed my king Miaoyi, which made my king heartbroken. This hatred is irreconcilable. .

General Yang is asked to lead his troops to watch from the sidelines, and the king of Wuling County will personally lead his troops to take back Nanzheng and kill Li Bi to avenge his eldest son. "

This guy came all the way to tell Yang Zhong not to interfere!

Sure enough, Xiao Ji was not a fuel-efficient lamp, he captured Mianyang quietly, and he has been paying attention to the situation in Hanzhong.

As for whether Xiao Ji was really saddened by Xiao Yuanzhao's death, that's hard to say.

The "glorious tradition" in the Xiao clan has always been "the father resigns and the son laughs".Xiao Ji is still very young, so it's no problem to practice a few more trumpets, and he has quite a few sons, so it doesn't look like he will "heart-wrenchingly painful".

Facing the warning sent by Chen Zhizu, Yang Zhong really wanted to ask: Is your Xiao Ji going to do it?Li Bi bravely won the three armies in Guanzhong, Xiao Ji is considered to be able to lead troops with some practical experience among the children of the Xiao clan, but...it depends on who he compares with!

"The pain of the loss of the king of Wuling County is extraordinary, and I feel the same. Now that the king of Wuling County has spoken, it is not easy for me to refute his face, so let the King of Wuling County do what he wants, and we will station troops in Chenggu County Just don't interfere."

Yang Zhong said in a calm voice.

"That's it, then I'll go back and return." Chen Zhizu bowed deeply to Yang Zhong, turned around and left.

Xiao Ji and the Jiankang Central Committee seem to be at odds with each other, whether it is the appointment of officials under his command, military power, financial power, etc., they have nothing to do with each other.

Since the two sides will meet each other sooner or later, Chen Zhizu really has nothing to say to Yang Zhong.

After he left, Yang Zhong turned his head and asked Duan Shao in a deep voice: "Xiaoxian knew that Xiao Ji would station troops in Mianyang?"

It should have been two days since Mianyang fell, so the scouts sent out hadn't noticed that Xiao Ji's troops had arrived at Mianyang to the west of Nanzheng.But Yang Zhong thought about it, and felt that Xiao Ji's actions were unexpected and reasonable.

It takes a long walk from Jiange to Mianyang. Although it is easier than Baoxie Road, it may not be much better.If Xiao Ji had been waiting for the news in Jiange, it can be said bluntly that once the news of Hanzhong's fall reached Jiange, the day lily would be cold, and it would be too late to do anything.

In order to seize Hanzhong, Xiao Ji will definitely do it in advance. For example, sending troops to Mianyang is a good move!It's just that Xiao Yuanzhao didn't expect to die so soon.

It's just that looking at it this way, it seems that Duan Shao is far-sighted and has long predicted Xiao Ji's movements!If they had sent troops to Nanzheng to attack Li Bi's troops last night, they would be in an embarrassing situation now!

"The next step, is it really just waiting?"

Yang Zhong lowered his voice and asked, until now, he has habitually asked Duan Shao for advice first.

"It's not difficult to defeat Li Bi, but the difficult thing is that if the Wei army puts all their eggs in one basket, they will go to Chen Cang Road to attack Mianyang. At that time, a fierce battle will inevitably occur, and we will not be able to secure victory with our small number of troops.

Defeat Li Bi first, and then ask Your Highness to send troops to reinforce Hanzhong. After holding Mianyang, you can attack Jiange, cross Yinping, and return to Ankang when you retreat. Why not do it?

At that time, let the other generals under His Royal Highness attack Yinping, and we will just guard Nanzheng well. "

"wonderful!"

Yang Zhong clapped his hands and laughed loudly.

To put it bluntly, Duan Shao's method is not uncommon, that is, do as much work as you have ability, use your strength in the key places, and don't waste your strength and physical strength in vain!

The so-called advance and retreat have limits, but that's all.

"General Duan has a strategy and knows how to advance and retreat. In the future, the elite under the lord's command will definitely have a place for you."

Yang Zhong couldn't help but said with emotion.

He is a knowledgeable person, Liu Yishou will not talk about it, there are all kinds of people among Liang Jun's colleagues, what kind of people are there?Comparing Duan Shao in it, it is also the top batch.

This time, after a little trial, you can see the level of this person, I'm afraid the other party still has reservations!

"General Yang is absurd."

Duan Shao bowed calmly, this battle is just a new starting point for him, as for the future, let's talk about it later!

Chapter 652 Megatron Hanzhong

After conquering Nanzheng, Li Bi quickly sent people to Guanzhong to announce the good news, and asked He Bayue to send troops along Chencang Road to support him as quickly as possible.As for why he didn't follow the path of praise, we can only say whoever chooses will know. Now Li Bi finally realized that Wei Xiaokuan's judgment was correct in some respects.

Today's praise ramp is really too bad!Apart from being very close to Nanzheng and the shortest distance, almost all of them were hidden wounds.

And there may be some disadvantages in taking Chen Cang Road, but it is true that the road is easy to walk!It is also convenient to transport grain and grass supplies.

Li Bi, who had suffered a loss once, did not want the reinforcements from Guanzhong to take a long time, so it was inevitable to suggest that He Bayue send troops to take the Chencang Road!

This attack on Nanzheng was beyond Li Bi's expectation. Originally, he thought it would be more dangerous to go out with a large army, because after all, the reorganization of the government soldiers had not been fully completed, and the combat effectiveness of the army would be a big question mark.

Just judging from the results of this battle, he seems to have overestimated the combat effectiveness of Liang Guo's soldiers and horses.It's hard to say elsewhere, at least here in Hanzhong, it is true that Liang Jun is vulnerable.

After sending messengers back to Guanzhong to ask for help, Li Bi inspected the city defense of Nanzheng.As he expected, a large number of government soldiers were beating, smashing and looting in the homes of big families in Nanzheng City. They were all rich in money, raped and plundered, and their food was extremely ugly.

Li Bi didn't panic at all, and directly ordered the guards to act, arresting some of the most violent soldiers.Then these people were escorted to the gate of the city, their heads were beheaded directly, and their heads were hung on the city wall.

As soon as this move was made, the chaos in the city came to an abrupt end!

The Guanzhong soldiers were all poor and frightened, and they wished that the clothes on the dead would be stripped off and brought back.Li Bi already had a plan in mind to control this group of Qiu Ba, and it was unrealistic to expect them to be teachers of benevolence and righteousness.

But after a battle, he indulged his soldiers to plunder and was beaten up by the next enemy. Such a thing is no longer a legend. There are too many generals who have stumbled here in history, and there are even many famous generals!

Looting Hanzhong now and allowing the soldiers to rob is obviously a taboo for military strategists.

It's not impossible to smash, smash and loot, but it certainly can't be now.

At this moment, Nanzheng has only been captured, and all the enemies in Hanzhong have not been wiped out.If you start fishing at this time, what is the system?

When enough money is made, who will fight to the death?

But it's impossible not to let go of these Qiu Ba's plunder, because He Bayue has no money to reward them, so he must make compensation in other ways.

This time I lied to him once, and when the news spreads, the next time we go to battle, the soldiers will definitely take advantage of it as a group, and there is no need to say anything about the bad influence.

Only when He Bayue's reinforcements have not yet arrived in Hanzhong, and Li Bi has cleared the enemy troops in Hanzhong, can he order looting before he can boldly fish without worrying about being held accountable.

After dealing with these miscellaneous matters, Li Bi sent scouts to investigate around Nanzheng, and then went to the treasury in the city. He was relieved when he saw the piles of food, grass and cloth.

Standing in front of this mountain of luggage, Li Bi suddenly had a question in his heart:

Why are the enemies so weak?
