Governor please stay

Chapter 160 Only magic can defeat magic
The cold wind is howling outside the study, but it is as warm as spring in the study.There is no shortage of such things as floor heating in the county government and the homes of powerful people.At this moment, Liu Yishou stared at the map of Jinan County, Dongping County, Bohai County and other places on the table with his eyes ugly.

The court of the Northern Wei Dynasty was very useless, and had no experience in suppressing civil unrest at all.Looking through the history books, it is probably only the former Zhao and the later Zhao of the Five Hu and Sixteen Kingdoms period that are even more useless than it.

Xing Gao was born in the landlord class in Youzhou (not yet a big landlord), and he had only been a small official like the master book, and he didn't have much talent.When he brought the refugees southward, even though he had many conflicts with the local big family in Qingzhou, he didn't want to raise a rebellion.

However, the imperial court forced Xing Gao back just because of some "operational errors". In just a few months, Xing Gao recruited refugees, expanded his trilogy, and conquered the city!

Now Bohai County, Beihai County, Leling County and other places in Qingzhou, that is, most of the Shandong Peninsula, are under the control of Xing Gao.This person has already "established the capital" in Beihai County. He claims to be the king of Han and resists the Northern Wei court.
But the only good thing is that Xing Gao seems to be a little "floating" now, and he doesn't like Yang Kan who is acting as a licking dog for Nanliang, and the two sides have not yet merged.

"Tell me, how did Xing Gao, a waste like a snowball, get bigger and bigger, and eventually he could roll out hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses?"

Liu Yishou put down the map, and asked Yuan Shikang who was sitting quietly with his eyes closed at the door of the study with some doubts.

"My lord, my subordinates don't know. But Xing Gao doesn't seem to be a special case. Ge Rong from Hebei is even more powerful than him, and he is known as a million."

For this kind of refugee armed forces, Yuan Shikang has always thought that the opponent is scum, just relying on the number of people.It doesn't matter that Ge Rong has a million people, he was sold by his subordinates, and now his heads are hung on the flagpole at the head of Luoyang City to show the public.

"Xing Gao was able to succeed only because although he is a scumbag, our court is even more scumbag. It is impossible to defeat magic with force. Only magic can defeat magic!"

Liu Yishou said something Yuan Shikang couldn't understand.

"You go and call Wang Wei, Yang Min, Yu Jin and others... well, Yang Min, you don't call, just call Yu Jin and Wang Wei. By the way, if Zheng Shuzu, Cui Xiaofen and the others ask to see you, you can Say I'm busy and I won't see you for a while."

Ok?
Yuan Shikang was taken aback for a moment, then cupped his hands and said, "Your subordinate will go now." He was just a little curious why Liu Yishou called Yang Min first and then stopped.

After a while, Yu Jin and Wang Wei came to the study, while Yuan Shikang closed the door and stood guard at the gate of the county government's backyard, not allowing anyone to approach.

"My lord has already sent someone to do what the lord has asked me to do. I don't know what's the big deal with the lord today?"

Wang Wei asked with some doubts.

Yu Jin nodded slightly and did not speak, probably meaning the same as Wang Wei.

"We now bear the name of the imperial court's officers and soldiers. But have you ever thought about it? Didn't there be any officers and soldiers here before? Why have all the east and north of Qingxu been occupied? The big county that Xing Gao hasn't touched yet is Jinan County , if Jinan County is lost... we almost have to retreat to Xingyang to make plans."

"The governor is right. I have been checking the map these days, and the situation is very dangerous."

Yu Jin said calmly.

Everyone probably agrees that the situation is dangerous. The only difference lies in the way to deal with it.

"If we don't win by surprise, we will lose miserably."

Liu Yishou slammed the table case hard, and said sonorously.

These words are a bit alarmist, but if you think about it carefully, it is actually not impossible, and it may even be very big.Wang Wei asked with some doubts: "My lord, why do you want to build up other people's ambitions and destroy your own prestige?"

Liu Yishou waved his hands and said, "Have you ever thought about why Xing Gao has hundreds of thousands of people in just a few months? According to Jia Sixie, Xing Gao didn't have any resourceful people under his command. How did he do it? He just planted leeks. It won't grow so fast, will it?"

Wang Wei and Yu Jin exchanged glances, and they both nodded silently.They really don't know the customs of Qingxu Land, but they still have the concept of pulling a team of tens of thousands of people in a few months.

"What does your lord think?"

Wang Wei asked, he felt that Liu Yishou probably already had a draft, and he asked him to come with Yu Jin, just to hear the opinions of his subordinates and whether he wanted to be with him.

"Wang Wei, I heard that your family is in Chenliu, and you also have a lot of land. Why don't you take out your family's land and I will distribute these lands to my personal guards. They must be devoted to me, right?"

Liu Yishou asked with a smile.

What is this called?

Wang Wei was taken aback for a moment, but then he suddenly realized, and Chi Jie applauded: "It's wonderful! It's wonderful! It turns out that Xing Gao's success is really that simple! It's too simple!"

Yu Jin also recalled the meaning behind Liu Yishou's words, and nodded thoughtfully.

"My lord, that Xing Gao is the leader of the refugees, and the land in Qingzhou is not his. When he conquers a county, he will open a warehouse to release grain and distribute the land by the way. The big local households themselves don't have a pot with him, and he doesn't have to share with these People are polite.

And the refugees got the property, after the news spread, there must be more refugees defecting to him!Everyone is waiting for him to lay down a new territory and divide the land!And who are the Wei Guoguanjun, it is self-evident.The people supported them, and they took it for granted.The common people do not support them, they will think that the common people and Xing Gao are in the same group.

In this way, how can the officers and soldiers be invincible? "

"Yes, in the eyes of the Qingzhou refugees, Xing Gao is not a devil, not a bad guy. On the contrary, the Wei State's army is the bad guy who hinders them from making a fortune.

It is not surprising that there is more help for the right than for the wrong, and it is not surprising that the army was defeated by Xing Gao and was beaten so helplessly by Xing Gao. "

"That's the truth, but... we are also Wei's official army, and the outside world will look at us in this way."

Yu Jin sighed and said: "And we are not a refugee team, we can't use the tricks that Xing Gao used."

"Eh? That's different. We are at least a little bit the same as Xing Gao."

Wang Wei seemed to be enlightened, his face was a little distorted with excitement.He continued: "The land of Qingxu does not belong to Xing Gao, so I don't feel bad for selling my father's land.

And the land of youth, is it ours? "

Oh yes!

The land of youth is not ours either!

Only then did Yu Jin turn his head around.

"That's right, Xing Gao can play casually, because Qingxu's land is not his family's. Similarly, Qingxu's land is not ours. Xing Gao can play, and we can also play!"

Liu Yishou slapped his hands and said, "As for Yuan Ziyou to hold us accountable in the future, that's his business. I only know that if we don't do it, then after the spring of this year, Xing Gao will lead troops to attack Jinan County, we will not be able to stop it." live with them."

Jinan County is backed by the Yellow River and the Ji River, and the land is fertile and rich in products. It has always been a place for grain storage in the green and Xu land.Liu Yishou looked at Wang Wei and Yu Jin, his eyes flicked back and forth on their faces.

He said firmly: "If we lose the grain and grass in Jinan County, we really don't have to play."

Both Wang Wei and Yu Jin nodded heavily.

"Before, Xing Gao called on the refugees to join him. Those who should come came, and those who shouldn't come also came. He occupied the territory that should be occupied, and also occupied the place that should not be occupied.

Among the refugees, it is estimated that the original common hatred has almost dissipated, and new landlords will also appear.The refugees who were oppressed before are now just replaced by new people to oppress them.

At the end of the crossbow, if he can't wear Lu Jin, Xing Gao should also suffer defeat. "

There was a gleam in Liu Yishou's eyes, which made Wang Wei stunned.

"Then my lord wants to..."

Yu Jin thought of a possibility, and his heart tightened.

"Of course we want to do it! Soil! Change!"

Liu Yishou stretched out one hand and clenched his fist tightly in the air.

……

It was late at night, and Liu Yishou was pacing back and forth in the study room with a piece of paper full of words written on it.At this time, he felt something in his heart, like a great man who wrote "Das Kapital", a spark of thought burst out in his mind, and he was so excited that he couldn't sleep at all.

"Ah Lang, why don't you go to bed? Tonight they told you to rest and rest, and you're already asleep, so Alang doesn't need to worry about anything."

Jia Chunhua came in with a bowl of soup, and when she saw Liu Yishou pacing back and forth "out of his mind", she covered her mouth and made fun of it.

"Come on, sit next to me, I have something to ask you."

Liu Yishou sat down in front of the desk and moved a cushion for Jia Chunhua to sit beside him.He grabbed the rough little hands of the other party and asked, "Before, you lived a very hard life, right? Just look at your hands."

"When I was young, it was really hard. My parents don't even know if they are still there. During the famine, they wanted to exchange me with girls from other families... cook and eat, but my mother refused to agree. Later, my adoptive father Passing by, heard about this, and took me away."

To be almost "exchanged" by parents for other people to cook and eat, I'm afraid it's hard to describe the feeling in a few words.

"No wonder they all like you, just because you are cautious."

Liu Yishou let out a long sigh.

He had heard a saying before that if you get along very happily with someone and there are no conflicts for many years, then besides your congeniality, there is also the other person's quiet humility.

Jia Chunhua relied on this kind of "quiet" humility to make every woman in her backyard like her.

"I have suffered in the past, so I am very afraid of losing everything now. And everything now is given by A Lang, so if A Lang is good, then I will get better.

For example, in the case of Mrs. You, I know that my methods are not very glorious, but... Mr. You is of great use to A Lang, so I don't care so much. "

Jia Chunhua lowered her head in embarrassment.

Liu Yishou remembered that when the big quilt was sleeping together, it was You Niang who made the most noise, making the other two daughters stunned.

He couldn't help but sigh with emotion.When ink is splashed on a piece of white paper without preparation, it will be more "tragic" than drawing step by step.Jia Chunhua's move was so powerful that Liu Yishou can barely fill the hole up to now.

"Ah Lang, what are you writing?"

Jia Chunhua finally noticed that the piece of paper on the table was written with big characters such as "Low-interest lease of land", "Reduction of rent and interest", "Dividing land to households", "Protecting the land and protecting the family", as well as "Down with the local tyrants and evil gentry", " Liquidate the traitor" and other words, I couldn't help but gasp.

This must be a very important thing, so important that Liu Yishou refused to rest late at night, and wanted to write this draft into a formal copy.

"Go and rest. Don't spread what I wrote now, even to Yuan Juli and the others. Just treat it as a secret between us."

Liu Yishou patted Jia Chunhua on the shoulder and said.

"Okay Alang, it's just what you wrote..."

Those words, in Jia Chunhua's opinion, were indescribably sharp and inappropriate.It felt like trying to lift the roof off the house.

"Although I can't be considered a good person, I still want to do something good, even if the starting point is not pure. I hope you will never have to understand these. The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility. I can't live in a muddle."

Liu Yishou looked into Jia Chunhua's eyes and said, he had to admit that the girl in front of him had very gentle eyes, not at all hostile to anyone, at least he couldn't feel it.

"I understand."

Jia Chunhua nodded slightly, leaned over and kissed Liu Yishou's lips.She blushed and murmured in a low voice: "Although my body is still perfect, my heart has already been captured and filled by A Lang."

"I admit that Alang is very good-looking, and no woman would dislike it. But Alang is also a person worthy of admiration from others. This is what I said from the bottom of my heart. I believe in Alang, no matter whether you have power or not, whether you are poor or prosperous. , I believe in you."

She stood up and bowed to Liu Yishou, and said with firm eyes: "I am different from them. Maybe my background makes me understand A Lang's helplessness but helplessness."

Jia Chunhua drifted out, Liu Yishou looked at the draft on the paper, then looked at the door where Jia Chunhua's beautiful figure disappeared, and let out a long sigh.

"A single spark can start a prairie fire. Sure enough, people's hearts are made of flesh."

……

Military and political officials gathered in the most private study in the county government office, and Liu Yishou handed over the "plan" that he had written several times overnight to others in the study.

Shocked, puzzled, stunned, regretful, admirable.Different expressions appear and change on the faces of different people, and finally return to plainness.

"Master, you are crazy! So what is the difference between us and Xing Gao?"

Like a cat whose tail has been stepped on, Yang Min couldn't help screaming.

"Down with the local tyrants and evil gentry, are you Hongnong Yang's local tyrants and evil gentry?"

Liu Yishou asked Yang Min a soul-striking question.

Wang Wei rubbed his hands together excitedly, looked at Yang Min and asked: "This means that we control the right to speak. Whoever we say is a local tyrant and evil gentry is a local tyrant and evil gentry! Anyone who doesn't cooperate with us, let those tenants come out, I don't believe those People can still hold it.

My lord, I agree with both hands, I can't wait, it's best to write this strategy into an official document today.I am not talented, and I am still a little confident in my writing and rhetoric. I am willing to polish and refine this strategy and hand it over to you for review. "

Seeing Wang Wei's appearance, everyone finally knew what it meant to be a "rebellious minister and thief".Many people are restless by nature. If they were in peaceful times, they would be like salted fish lying on the beach with nothing to do.

However, in troubled times, such a person instantly jumps up and down like crazy!
