Governor please stay

Chapter 155 President Xiao, the Big Boss in the Investment Circle of the Southern Group
Nanliang, Jiankang, Taicheng, in front of the Sima Gate outside Jiankang Palace, a thin, calm middle-aged man was being searched by the palace guards.

This person is called Chen Qingzhi, and he was originally the entourage of Emperor Xiao Yan of Nanliang. Well, he is the type of handyman who specializes in playing chess with the emperor, and comes and goes as soon as he is called.

The only thing worth mentioning is probably the closer relationship with the emperor.

However, when Chen Qingzhi was not in charge of the army, he could enter and leave the palace at will, and no one would search him.However, after he was dispatched by Xiao Yan to become a general, every time he entered or left the palace, he would be strictly searched.

"Okay, let's go in."

The body-searching guard made a gesture of invitation to Chen Qingzhi, and his attitude was very indifferent.

Chen Qingzhi nodded to the imperial guards indifferently, walked into Jiankang Palace calmly, passed through the newly built "triple gate" (Liang Guo expanded the original Jiankang Palace and added a layer of palace walls), passed through At the Sun Gate in front of the Tai Chi Hall, Chen Qingzhi saw a thin old man sitting on the soft cushion in front of the dragon chair and meditating.

This person is wearing a dragon robe, but his demeanor is more like a monk. He seems to be reciting Buddhist scriptures. This scene looks extremely absurd and weird.

However, Chen Qingzhi was no longer surprised. After all, the emperor in front of him had followed him very early, and the fact that he was able to lead the army two years ago was not because the emperor thought Chen Qingzhi was a talented military talent.

It was because he realized that Chen Qingzhi seemed to have been with him for most of his life, and if he didn't send him out to play around, his life would be ruined!Playing chess with the emperor is very cool and easy (provided that your chess skills can "advance and retreat freely"), but this kind of life is really very decadent.

Chen Qingzhi understood this truth, and so did Emperor Xiao Yan.

"Ziyun (Chen Qingzhi's pronoun), are you planning to bid farewell to me this time?"

Finding Chen Qingzhi coming, Xiao Yan, who was meditating, opened his cloudy eyes and asked.This old man is 65 years old this year!
It is rare for people to reach their 50s. As a high-risk occupation, emperors can live longer than 40 years old. Most of the emperors in the Northern Wei Dynasty did not live past [-] years old!

It can be seen that Xiao Yan understands the principle of "you don't keep in good health when you are young, but you take care of doctors when you are old".Moreover, monks who are as profound as Xiao Yan's Dharma are not as high in status as him.He is the same as the emperor, and the Dharma is far inferior to him.

No matter from which angle you look at it, Xiao Yan is a very special emperor.

"Your Majesty, I have recruited soldiers and horses, and equipped them with three thousand horses, a total of 7000 people."

Chen Qingzhi bowed his hands respectfully to Xiao Yan and said.

It is not an exaggeration to say that the old emperor in front of him is his god.Without Xiao Yan, Chen Qingzhi would be nothing. He could neither shoot a bow nor ride a tall horse. He couldn't even beat an ordinary soldier!
Born in poverty, he could not get the opportunity to display his talents and learning.

If Xiao Yan asked Chen Qingzhi to die now, then the latter would commit suicide immediately on the spot!
"Hey, I also know that this Northern Expedition to the Kingdom of Wei is just to put Yuan Hao in a perfunctory way. I don't have any demands on you, as long as you come back safely, I still want to play chess with you again."

Xiao Yan said with a smile, he didn't have the airs of an emperor at all.

It's just that he said that, but Chen Qingzhi couldn't say that his Northern Expedition was "tourism".He said solemnly: "The war is fierce and dangerous, and I will go all out to open up the territory for Liang Guo."

Hearing Chen Qingzhi's statement, Xiao Yan nodded slightly, but he didn't think so in his heart.To be honest, letting Chen Qingzhi escort Yuan Hao back to Luoyang to take the throne this time is nothing more than a "political gesture"!
Of course, the more chaotic Wei Guo is, the better!Send Yuan Hao back, stabilize the political situation, let the other party accumulate strength, and then a famous general will lead the troops to fight back, and bite Liang Guo back?
How could Xiao Yan do such a stupid thing!
He is showing a "positive attitude" now, which is for the world to see!Especially for those princes of the Yuan family who are dissatisfied with Er Zhurong and Yuan Ziyou in the north!
I, Xiao Yan, are not your enemy, and Liang Guo is not your enemy either!
I have to say that this high-standard political posture really played a big role.Ever since Er Zhurong was doing things in Luoyang, the border between Wei State and Liang State began to move towards the north imperceptibly.

One after another, the governors of the prefectures of the state of Wei, the state shepherds, etc., all surrendered to the state of Liang!
Wei's southern defense line collapsed, and he had to retreat to Suiyang, and built a border defense line with Suiyang as the fulcrum.

"Your Majesty, I have received news that the Wei State is increasing its troops in Suiyang, and it seems that it plans to stick to Suiyang for a long time. This is completely different from the news we have received before."

Chen Qingzhi remembered something and asked suspiciously.

"The general is outside, and the military order is not accepted. Everything is left to you to decide for yourself, and I will not ask any questions."

Xiao Yan nodded calmly and said.

"Your Majesty, I have a matter..."

Chen Qingzhi hesitated for a long time, but finally made a move.

Xiao Yan said with a smile: "You and I have played chess for decades, so it's okay to talk if you have something to say."

"Your Majesty, I thought that the army would go to Juyeze by water, start from Huai'an County, go northward along the river, capture Qingxu, and win the hearts of the local people. Then send a whole army to attack Suiyang and confront the Wei army.

In this way, we can attack east and west, bypass the main force of Wei State, and take Xingyang and Hulao directly. "

Chen Qingzhi lowered his head, bent his waist, and saluted Xiao Yan with his sleeves folded.

It has to be said that Chen Qingzhi's method can not only solve Yang Kan's predicament, but also capture the Qingxu land of Wei State, killing two birds with one stone.

It's just that he is just a person who leads troops to fight, and Chen Qingzhi has the final say on the specific strategy.

"No, you just take Yuan Hao and other King Wei, and attack Suiyang from the front, making the momentum of the Liang Kingdom's Northern Expedition! As for the other minor details, many children of the Taishan Yang family have come to seek refuge, and I let them recruit them themselves." Soldiers and horses, rescue Yang Kan, you don't have to worry too much."

Xiao Yan waved his hand and said, as if he didn't care about Yang Kan's life or death at all.

Chen Qingzhi thought about it, but in fact, it can't be blamed on Xiao Yan's moths.In fact, Liang Guo's army did not know how to do it. Every time the Northern Expedition would win first and then lose, the various armies did not coordinate or could not coordinate with each other.

Often, sending more troops may not necessarily achieve success, but it often brings down a good situation.This kind of thing has happened many times in the past few years.

"Wei Chen knows."

Chen Qingzhi cupped his hands and said.

"Then Weichen, let's get ready, we're leaving tomorrow."

"Well, you go. You don't have to think too much about this trip. If the battle is unfavorable, then you can go back and talk about it. It doesn't matter."

Xiao Yan seemed to have very low requirements for Chen Qingzhi this time, such as military orders, family hostages, and goals and wishes, nothing!Just ask Chen Qingzhi to come back alive.

Of course, this is also because Xiao Yan is extremely tolerant and even pampering towards the clan's children and those close to him!

What, the son committed a crime?

How many did you kill?What did you do?How much did you steal?

This trivial matter is not worth mentioning, it is all on my account, and I will pay for it!
This is Xiao Yan's style, and it is the same with Chen Qingzhi.However, Chen Qingzhi's performance was quite amazing. Although he was defeated for the first time because of the chaos of the second and fifth sons, he was able to bring the army back with all his strength.

He is already a very awesome character.For such a talent, and also a confidant, Xiao Yan naturally trusts him unreservedly, and does not put any burden on the other party.

What's more, the level design of this "game" is a bit unreasonable. It seems that the first level is 10 main players against tens of thousands of opponents, and may even exceed [-] people.

Xiao Yan felt that he couldn't put more pressure on Chen Qingzhi.

"Wei Chen retire."

Chen Qingzhi sighed silently, and after saluting, he exited the Tai Chi Hall, turned around and left.What he didn't know was that it was Xiao Yan's decision that saved the life of a certain governor surnamed Liu who was struggling to survive in the land of Qingxu.If Chen Qingzhi led his troops to follow the old path of Huanwen's third Northern Expedition, he would definitely meet that man directly.

Who will win the battle? Yang Kan, who has the upper hand in the land of Qingxu, and Liang Guo's [-] strong army, the outcome is obvious.

……

When he went to Fangtou last time, Liu Yishou got a special map from the government, which was very detailed.But now, he searched all over the county office in Linqiu City, but he couldn't find even a hair.

Now, even Yu Jin, who has always been calm, is not calm at all.Wei Guo is like this, and has always attached great importance to Hebei and Xingyang, Hongnong, Hanoi and other places around Luoyang, Gyeonggi.

Therefore, the information in those local government treasuries is also very complete.

However, the land of Qingxu has been in war for a long time, and refugees continue to join and leave, and the government's governance is chaotic.Especially in a small place like Linqiu, there is really no information at all, and I don't even know where the household registration and account books have gone.

"Now, our eyes are darkened."

Yu Jin looked at the empty cabinets and tables in the county government's custody room, and couldn't help but sigh.

Without a map, and without a local guide familiar with the terrain, it would be too tragic, to be honest.Not to mention the trouble of leading troops to find Yang Kan, even if they went to Juyeze to the east, they would have to worry about whether they could find their way back.

After all, there are no electronic maps, satellite positioning, or mobile phone navigation in this era.

"By the way, I have a question. Since maps are rare, why do Yang Kan have them?"

Liu Yishou asked nonsense.

Before Yang Kan raised his troops, he was the prefect of Taishan County, so there is naturally a map of the surrounding area in the treasury.In addition, the Taishan Yang family has been cultivating in the local area for many years, and it is not a big problem to bring soldiers and horses to Yanzhou City.

Liu Yishou brought the "guest army" to the land of Qingxu, of course he couldn't compare with Yang Kan and others.

"Actually, it's not impossible."

Yu Jin raised his chin and said thoughtfully: "This is already the area under the jurisdiction of Yanzhou. Although it is separated by the huge Juyeze, it is also the boundary of Yanzhou. Yang Dun must have a map of Yanzhou in his hand. There are also various account books.

Now there is a problem, how do we connect with Yang Dun. "

This is considered to be on point, although it is also useless nonsense, but at least it points to a correct direction.Liu Yishou brought people to the land of Qingxu to fight away, and if he didn't cooperate with Yang Dun, it would be impossible to get along at all.

Only after contacting Yang Dun can we talk about the following matters.

"Actually..."

When Yu Jin and Liu Yishou were in a daze, Yang Min, who was quietly looking for something behind them, spoke again slowly.

"Actually what?"

Since this chubby came to Linqiu, he didn't show much at first, but suddenly he seemed to understand a lot.

"Where we are now, although it is the boundary of Yanzhou, Yanzhou is actually very big, with several counties, it sounds a little confusing. But to say it really, it is very simple. Our location is Yanzhou Below the edge of Dongping County.

And the core of Dongping County is the area around Dongping Lake, where both land and water routes are well developed.There is no one in Linqiu, but it doesn't mean there is no one in Dongping County, right?
So where is the core of Dongping Lake, it is Xuchang City!In the northeast of Linqiu, you have to pass through the swamp around Liangshan.It's just right to march now.

When we arrive at Xuchang City, it happens to be the time when the spring is warm and the flowers are blooming. We can go down the river and go straight to Rencheng!Occupying Rencheng blocked the way for Yang Kan to flee south to Liang Guo, and also blocked the way for Liang Guo to go north for reinforcements.

At that time, if we find that Rencheng is occupied by Liang Guo, we can also return to Xuchang City by water, so it is a long-term plan.Wouldn't it be beautiful to be able to attack in this way and defend in retreat? "

Yang Min chubby said triumphantly, which attracted the attention of Liu Yishou and Yu Jin.

Unexpectedly, this chubby kept a low profile on weekdays, and still remembered a lot of hydrology and geography in his mind.Liu Yishou asked curiously: "Your hometown is in Hongnong, then in Luoyang, and then in Hebei. How did you become so familiar with the land of Qingxu?"

In ancient times, there was no Internet, and knowledge was very limited.In fact, even in modern times, it is normal for foreigners to be unfamiliar with the local geographical environment.

Why Yang Min is so familiar with the surrounding area of ​​Linqiu is worth studying.

"That... When I was caught by Ge Rong, I wanted to escape to Xuchang City for refuge, so I still have a little research on this side."

Yang Min pinched the tip of his index finger and said.

Yu Jin felt that this was a bit of a lie, and he asked suspiciously: "That's not what you said yesterday, didn't you say that you planned to escape to Juyeze?"

"Xuchang City is just to the north of Juye Ze, almost, almost."

Yang Min said with a sneer.

Thinking about it, is it true that a direct descendant of an aristocratic family will bury his whole life in the countryside?If he wants to run, he must run to the city.And the location of Xuchang City is very delicate, it is not only extending in all directions, but also next to Juyeze.

It's true that if you go forward, you can rush to the important place, and if you retreat, you can hide Hongze. Little fat man Yang Min still has a little vision.

"how do you feel?"

Liu Yishou asked Yu Jindao beside him.

"It seems... not bad?"

Yu Jin nodded slightly, a little moved.

At the beginning, I was thinking about how to rescue Yangdun and how to conquer the land of Qingxu, but of course I had no idea, and felt that the sky was about to fall.But if you change your thinking and become "how can I find a good place to hide and grow up", then the road ahead will be very broad.

"Since you understand so well, why don't you lead the way this time?"

Liu Yishou asked while pressing Yang Min's shoulder with one hand.

Yang Min nodded with a bitter face. Being a guide is very hard. Besides, he is actually talking on paper and doesn't know the way at all.
