Governor please stay

"After the Bohai Gao clan joined Ge Rong, we brought our clansmen southward, and many of them are still in Yecheng. The rest have all gone to Liyang County, or to be more precise, to the vicinity.

And the Li family is a local, needless to say. "

The Qinghe Cui family's team is not simple. According to the historical records of Liu Yishou's life, he participated in the first two battles of the Great War between the Eastern and Western Wei Dynasties, but unfortunately he had no military achievements.

"Where's Ge Rong? How about Ge Rong?"

Liu Yishou asked in a deep voice.

Cui Jiong and Cui Zhongwen looked at each other and sighed at the same time.

"Let me tell you, Ge Rong went south, and a hundred thousand troops encircled Yecheng. But other than that, the other parts were wandering around, seeming to be grabbing grain from the fields.

These people wandered far away, and there was also a group of people who were active nearby.Farther away, even running in the Taihang Mountains. "

As Feng Longzhi's confidant, Fa Qing naturally knew things that Cui Jiong and others didn't, especially military affairs.There is a lot of food in Yecheng now, and there are many soldiers and horses retreating from all walks of life. It is not a big problem to survive this winter.

But it won't work any longer.

From these words, Liu Yishou got a very important piece of bad news.

Ge Rong's soldiers and horses are wandering nearby, and they may come to attack the city at any time!

"How many soldiers are there in Ge Rong's army?"

Liu Yishou frowned and asked.

"A few days ago, I looked from a distance, and they were all infantry, probably less than 1 people, or even less. They couldn't do anything about the river around Fangtou. In addition to the warning beacons, we also had remodeled ships. , can shoot the bed crossbow, as the Austrian aid of the army.

For the time being, self-preservation should be fine. "

Fa Qing talked eloquently, his words were much more detailed than those of Cui's uncle and nephew, Liu Yishou finally felt relieved, at least he didn't have to worry about becoming Ge Rong's ghost tonight.

He also probably figured out the situation of Fangtou.

The person in command is not very decent, but the city and the terrain are not bad, the supplies and equipment are relatively sufficient, and there are "water troops", it seems that there is no need to worry about self-protection.

Of course, it also depends on how many people come from the enemy.

The three "garrison points" outside the city are similar to three small towns without city walls. They can not only use boats to walk along the river, but also take the road between rivers to support each other.

This defense system is very weird, but it is in line with the righteousness of the art of war.

It is said that at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, after the Battle of Guandu, Cao Cao built water conservancy projects here in Fangtou in order to conquer the city of Ye, which had enough food and supplies.A few years later, based on this, Yuan Shao's forces were eliminated.

It is said that the Fu Jian family during the period of the Five Hu and Sixteen Kingdoms also deeply cultivated Fangtou, and took advantage of rare historical opportunities to advance into Guanzhong. In the end, Fu Jian achieved the hegemony of unifying the north.

The core of Liyang County has a very solid foundation.Whether it is terrain or farmland, it is not a problem, and the defense is self-contained.The bad thing is that it is an important place in the north and south of the Yellow River!

No matter who wants to rule the world, the first thing to overcome is this place.

"If you keep it for a long time, you will lose it. I think that you can't keep it by just relying on defense. We have to fight a war unexpectedly and kill Ge Rong's arrogance."

Liu Yishou said thoughtfully, looking at the map in a daze.

"Going northwest from Fangtou is the city of Ye, and there is no danger to defend. Taking the initiative to attack is tantamount to death."

Fa Qing said coldly, he is a straightforward person, neither flattering nor hypocritical.Faqing didn't give Cui Zhongwen any face, and of course he didn't give Liu Yi any face either.

"Isn't that what you said. If we foolishly headed northwest and met Ge Rong's team, it would be the same as sending us to our death.

But how to put it, it depends on man's effort, as long as Ge Rong's men will come, then there must be a chance. "

What chance does this have?

Everyone present looked at each other in blank dismay, there was no backbone here, and there was no one who was blinded by profit and desperate to seize power.The problem is not that some people make trouble, but that no one is willing to stand up and preside over the overall situation.

Liu Yishou could see the role of Fa Qing, at most he was a "military advisor".Once there is something that requires someone to make up his mind, he will not speak.

Faqing can only say whether the idea is good or not.

"I have encountered Ge Rong's soldiers and horses these days. Is there a corpse? Is there any prisoner? Is there a file?"

Liu Yishou is actually a half-baked man who knows himself and the enemy, and he might be worse than Cui Jiong, but he can't retreat now!

A real man must try his best to kill himself, just like driving a car at 120 yards!

"There are no captives, but the body was the day before yesterday. It was shot and died. The file has always been recorded. The body is now in the mass grave, and there is no time to bury it."

Cui Zhongwen said confidently.

Liu Yishou understood in seconds, this person is probably a real "March Chief", he is not good at commanding wars, but he knows how to write copywriting!

"Brother Cui Jiong, you are a medical officer, right, I remember."

Liu Yishou looked at Cui Jiong maliciously and asked.

"Yes, what's wrong?"

"Honest man" Cui Jiong felt a little baffled for a while.

"Hehe, I need your help."

……

Find the corpse from the mass grave, cut open the belly, and record the characteristics of the corpse.After a short operation, both Liu Yishou and Cui Jiong vomited several times, but it also confirmed his conjecture.

At one of the three garrison points, Liu Yishou found Yu Jin and brought him to the main tower of Fangtou City.

He handed the stack of records to Yu Jin and didn't speak for a long time.It was night now, and the sound of howling wolves could be heard from a distance, which sounded a bit intrusive.

"This person should be very hungry, and he hasn't had enough food for a long time."

After reading the records of Liu Yishou and Cui Jiong's "dissection", Yu Jin directly gave the answer.

"The stomach is empty, but it looks shriveled and there is no meat on it. It has been hungry for a long time, and it has probably been hungry and full all the time."

After reading what Liu Yishou wrote, Yu Jin already understood what it meant.

"That's right, this shows that Ge Rong's team is seriously short of food. Look at what Qing dictated."

Liu Yishou gave Yu Jin another record he had written, which recorded in detail the movements of Ge Rong's army dictated by Fa Qing.

"According to the above, Ge Rong's army is now mainly divided into two parts.

The main force is about 10 people, not much more, encircling Yecheng on all sides and blocking the Zhanghe River.

The other teams, scattered, seemed to be looting.So why did they split up? "

Yu Jin shook the paper in his hand and asked.

"It doesn't matter, because it's the autumn harvest now. If they can't get food and can't attack Yecheng, then they will collapse without fighting in winter."

Liu Yishou said with a smile.

With some corpses left by Ge Rongjun as "evidence", the lack of food in their army seems to be an ironclad fact.

Of course, this matter is also corroborated by other "rumors".

For example, there are rumors that Ge Rong does not restrict military discipline wherever he goes.So it was nothing more than burning, killing and looting, and some people joined it.Wherever he went, there was no guarantee of a harvest because no one was watching the fields anymore.

Fools also understand that if the land is not taken care of, it will become wasteland. How can the wasteland be harvested for food?So in the past two years, the grain in Hebei has actually become less and less.And the ones that fall into Ge Rong's hands will be even fewer!

Then it is self-evident what Ge Rong wants to do by letting the parts under his command spread out.

"To the south of Fangtou City, the land irrigated by the river is already ripe. Ge Rong's army, it seems that someone has already set their sights on this place. They tried it a few days ago. Do you think they will think that we will take the wheat field? How about attacking Fangtou City after harvesting?"

Liu Yishou had a bold guess in his mind.

If the general around Ge Rongjun's Jinglue Fangtou is not a fool, he will definitely not give up this opportunity.Let the people in Fangtou City help them harvest, and then pick up the ready-made ones, which seems to be more in line with the inferiority of human beings who like to be lazy.

Besides Yu Jin, Cui Jiong is also here.Liu Yishou pulled him over and asked in a low voice, "Is it a big problem for your army to do odd jobs?"

Miscellaneous?

Cui Jiong didn't know, so he asked, "For example?"

"For example, feint attack, fraudulent defeat and so on."

Li's soldiers and horses fought in their hometown. For them, Fangtou City was a "scattered place" and could not stand the big trouble.Once something happens, they will flee back to their hometown, who knows where they will hide.

But Cui's soldiers and horses are different. They fight away, if they can't go back to Fangtou City, they will die wherever they go.Such soldiers and horses can theoretically keep morale.

"I want to discuss this matter with my uncle. It's not too early now, you should go to bed early, and it won't be too late for us to make up tomorrow."

Cui Jiong did not express his opinion directly. After all, this is a matter within the clan. He is a junior, so it is impossible to make a decision with one word.

After the three parted, Liu Yishou sent General Jin to the town where the troops were stationed. At first glance, it looked like a specially built military barracks, like a collective dormitory. Every room was exactly the same, and there was no courtyard at all.

All the houses are arranged in a circle, and there is a wooden tower five or six feet high in the middle, guarded by crossbowmen.

Everything here can be said to be unique, simple but not simple.

The two climbed up the tower, and pushed back the crossbowmen on duty. Yu Jin held on to the railing and said with emotion: "I have to say, your courage is really big enough, and your way is wild enough."

"Right? What you can't think of, Ge Rong's people can't think of either.

As long as this team is killed, Ge Rong will become deaf and blind! "

Hearing this, Yu Jin was puzzled at first, and then suddenly realized.

"You really dare to think, but your prediction is very likely to be true."

Looking at the bright moon in the river in the distance, Yu Jin said thoughtfully: "If Ge Rong can concentrate his strength, I'm afraid Luoyang is his now.

But these two years have passed, and he is still in Hebei.Without the help of Bohai Gao, I don't think he would even be able to reach Yecheng now.Why is this so? "

"Because many of his subordinates are obedient to the tune but not to the announcement!"

Liu Yishou said confidently.

"If his tens of 10 people can be commanded like an arm, why not worry about a major event! So I predict that if we kill the Ge Rong army closest to us, it will take a long time, and our minds will be on the city of Ye Ge Rong will notice."

Liu Yishou's logic was that only the absolute descendants would be gathered by Ge Rong to attack Yecheng.The city is broken, and the benefits are all theirs.

And those disobedient troops nominally belonging to Ge Rong will be sent out to sweep the periphery.You know, it's very dangerous to do this job, in case Er Zhurong leads his troops northward, he encounters such an outlying Ge Rong army.

Wouldn't it be hacked to death?

"Gambling, it seems very exciting, huh?"

Liu Yishou asked with a smile.

"Hahahaha! Indeed, but I like it!"

Yu Jin laughed loudly, he was holding on to the wooden railing tightly, his whole hand was tense.

Chapter 87

The sun is shining brightly, and Fangtou City, surrounded by many large and small rivers, is like a big castle on a mysterious island, beautiful and terrifying.

In the wheat field to the south of Fangtou City, many county soldiers belonging to the aristocratic families were harvesting wheat in the field, a scene in full swing.

And in the bushes on the other side of the river, a burly general, leading several close brothers, was observing everything around Fangtou City.

"Brother, what should we do? There are rivers everywhere here, and the brothers can't swim. They still have boats and bed crossbows. It's not easy to get them."

One of his subordinates said to the strong young general in a very impatient tone.After all, they have been hungry for many days, and they have no fixed food source, and they are hungry and full.A few days ago, I came to Fangtou City to explore the road, but I didn't expect to get a bloody head.

"What do you think they will do after harvesting the wheat?"

The general who spoke was Han Xian, a native of Shimen, Guangning (now Shouyang County, Shanxi). He was a general under Ge Rong's command, but he didn't seem to be highly valued, so he was sent here to explore the way.

Among Ge Rong's troops, his subordinates were considered to have relatively good military discipline, and they did relatively few junk things.Therefore, not only was he rejected by Ge Rong's direct lineage, but he also often couldn't get enough to eat.

"Brother, don't think too much about it. Let's wait until those people finish cutting the wheat, and just press the whole army. It will save us from having to cut the wheat, which is bad luck."

Han Xian's younger brother said impatiently that hunger made them lose their most basic judgment.

"Let's see."

Han Xian always felt a little restless.Fangtou City seems to be the same as the previous few days, the guard is very lax, and it should fall down as soon as it is pushed, but why do I think something is wrong?

……

In the signing room where the meeting was held in Fangtou City, Liu Yishou pasted many sheets of white paper connected together on the wall to form a large sheet.Referring to the map, I drew a more detailed sketch.At this moment, the place is full of people, not only Faqing, Cui Jiong and Cui Zhongwen are here, but also Yu Jin, Peng Le, Yuan Shikang and other generals are all present.

Even Er Zhu Ying'e changed into men's clothing, pretending to be Liu Yishou's personal soldier, and slipped in quietly.

"Look at the map on the wall."

Holding a branch, Liu Yishou pointed to the small house drawn on the white paper and said, "This is Fangtou City." He pointed to the "big house" in the northwest and said, "This is Ye City."

"If you were Ge Rong's subordinate now, and saw us leave Fangtou City and head towards Ye City, what would you think?"

"Isn't this a fool?"
