Governor please stay

chapter 167
Under the oil lamp, the hands that can already write brush characters proficiently write letters quickly.The study was unusually quiet, Wang Wei remained silent like a puppet, quietly waiting for Liu Yishou to finish writing the letter in his hand.

At this moment, the brush stopped suddenly, leaving a conspicuous stain on the slightly yellowed paper.Liu Yishou stopped writing, raised his head and found Wang Wei looking at him.The two of you looked at me and I looked at you, with big eyes and small eyes, not knowing why.

"Why didn't my lord stop writing? Do you think those people in Jinan County are not worth talking to?"

Wang Wei asked suspiciously, according to his opinion, Liu Yishou should not engage in so many "Huairou" tactics.Just say hello to the aristocratic families who came here from Dongping County, and say that as long as Jinan County is taken, everyone will benefit.

Whoever refuses to accept it in Jinan County, those people hanging on the flagpoles outside Xuchang City are their role models!
"Tell me, what happened to Liang Guo's Northern Expedition now?"

Liu Yishou asked an irrelevant question, crumpled the piece of paper, and started writing the letter again.

"The news of Liang's Northern Expedition was leaked ahead of time. In addition, they only have 7000 people. I think this is just Xiao Yan's perfunctory to Yuan Hao, and it can be regarded as an explanation to the princes of the Yuan family who came here."

The number of people is small, the strategic intentions are exposed in advance, and the enemy is fully prepared... No matter how you look at it, this Northern Expedition looks like it will end without a problem. The difference is only how big the storm will be.

Wang Wei frowned, and made another cut and said: "I don't think the Lord needs to care about these irrelevant things, Jinan County is the most important thing. When Xing Gao is plowing in spring, he will probably take advantage of Jinan County's army. Going home to farm, the soldiers have no heart to fight, but send troops to Licheng.

What shall we do then?Let's just watch and don't care?

With Jinan County, we have such momentum that we can march along the Yellow River and fight all the way to Beihai County.If we lose Jinan County, we will have to confront Xing Gao's people under the city of Dong'a, and the situation will be very unfavorable to us. "

Wang Wei said seriously.

"of course not."

Liu Yishou put down his pen, and said to Wang Wei in a leisurely manner: "Now we have a lower profile and act like a dog licking. You know what it looks like to lick a dog. Then those people in Jinan County saw my letter. In the future, we will definitely think that we are weak, want more from others, and are inferior.

Even if they wanted us to settle in Jinan County before, I am afraid they will give up this idea after reading the letter, thinking that they should be pretty good. "

"and then?"

Wang Wei didn't understand Liu Yishou's brain circuit. Is it interesting to self-destruct like this?

"Then they will be very relieved, thinking that we must come and go as soon as they are called, and ask them for everything. After Xing Gao comes, these people will definitely ask us for help, thinking that we will definitely be there Immediately, he desperately rushed up to fight Xing Gao.

At that time, we only need to reply them with one sentence. "

Wang Wei is a smart person, and he understood immediately.

Seeing his expression, Liu Yishou raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and said with a smile: "At that time, we will write back and tell them in passionate words: Hold on, reinforcements will arrive soon, and the imperial court will definitely not sit idly by and ignore the safety of Jinan County." .Then you can continue to watch the show, and do what you need to do to prepare.

Our reinforcements to Jinan County will always be on the way and will never arrive, but we will always encourage those aristocratic families in Jinan County and tell them that we are coming soon, understand? "

What a wicked person!

Wang Wei raised his eyebrows. He found that Liu Yishou's purpose was the same as his own, but he didn't know where the routine was going.He asked with some doubts: "What if, I mean, if those people in Jinan County can't stand it anymore and let Xing Gao occupy Jinan County?"

"It's nothing to do. We have just won the siege, and all our spirits are relaxed. We ride fast horses in front and light infantry behind. Spit it out!
Moreover, those aristocratic families in Jinan County have been beaten and disabled. After we occupy there, they will be more obedient, won't they? "

Liu Yishou said calmly, he didn't care how many soldiers from the aristocratic families in Jinan County would die.This is very different from his "compassionate" attitude in Dongping County.

As if he had guessed what Wang Wei was thinking, Liu Yishou sighed and said: "Only by ending the troubled times, unifying the world, reducing corvee labor, emphasizing production, and building a paradise of kingship can the people be saved from suffering.

The benevolence of a woman can only make her own hands and feet tied, but it cannot tie the hands and feet of others.The aristocratic families in Jinan County are stubborn and have already rejected our proposal. There is no way but to adopt some strategies against them.

As for how much suffering those poor people will suffer, we are not God, and we cannot save so many people. "

Seems to be the reason, Wang Wei nodded silently, and after Liu Yishou finished writing the letter, he sealed it and handed it over.Wang Wei put it close to his body and prepared to send someone to deliver it overnight.

"Take people with you, go back quickly, and also see the faces of some people in Jinan County, and find out what's true.

It doesn't matter if those people laugh at us, they will cry when the time comes. "Liu Yishou said with a sneer. Logically speaking, the "Central Army" of the imperial court should have absolute authority, and the local forces can only be obedient, not to mention that Liu Yishou has imperial edicts here.

But for some people who know the inside story, this may not be the case.To put it bluntly, that is, local forces in counties and counties will also "see people to order".If Liu Yishou was Er Zhurong and marched into Jinan County with tens of thousands of elites, of course the local family over there would have nothing to say!

However, this time Liu Yishou led troops to station in Qingxu, they could only be regarded as "Xibei goods", and there were well-informed people in the aristocratic family, so it was normal not to give Liu Yishou their face.

Besides, what Liu Yishou did in Dongping County also made the aristocratic family in Jinan County fearful. It was only human nature that they did not welcome this "imperial court" army.

After Wang Wei left, Liu Yishou looked at the oil lamp in front of him, his thoughts drifted far away.

It is said that the Northern Expedition of Liang Kingdom will be as powerful as a rainbow. I don’t know if it will really be like this?

He wrote "Chen Qingzhi" on the paper and let out a long breath.

……

Suiyang City was built on the north side of the Sui River.It's just that this river is very narrow, and it is an artificial canal dug in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period to connect the two rivers.In winter, it is freezing and lifeless, and pawns crossing the river is like playing!
Therefore, the defense of Suiyang City itself is actually not worth mentioning. Whether it is from the Spring and Autumn Period to the season before the Yellow River seized Si, Suiyang is only a place with convenient transportation, but not a strong defense.

Yang Chun brought a part of the Northern Wei Xin Yulin Army south to Suiyang, and they had already set up camp outside the city.And Qiu Daqian, who has rich combat experience in Lianghuai and has been defeated repeatedly, has arrived in Suiyang ahead of schedule.

And without Yang Chun's order, nine small cities were built in advance, along the north bank of the Sui River, forming a half-moon-shaped "defense belt".

After Yang Chun arrived in Suiyang, he found that Qiu Daqian did not go out to find Liang Jun's trail as he suggested, but built a large-scale construction around Suiyang to establish a defensive front, so he was furious!
"That Chen Qingzhi scared you into a mouse?"

In the signing room in Suiyang City, Yang Chun smashed a round of military order tokens on the iron armor on Qiu Daqian's chest. It is legal to behead him.

Of course, it's only in theory, no coach will kill his generals when the enemy's army is still in the future.

"Dudu Yang, it's not that the last general is timid. This is a ship that has been sailing for thousands of years. Liang Guo's Northern Expedition is no small matter. If they were not fully sure, would they only send this few people? It is enough to see that these people are elites. One is ten."

Qiu Daqian saw that Yang Chun's complexion was a little better, and explained cautiously: "We build nine camps, so even if Chen Qingzhi has three heads and six arms, he can't break through one in a day, right?

As long as he camps at night, his nightmare will come. Nine camps are equivalent to our nine hands and nine pairs of eyes.He would worry about his rear if he attacked any one. "

Having become a good doctor after a long illness, it has to be said that Qiu Daqian suffered a lot of defeats in Lianghuai, so he also came up with a set of self-protection skills.No matter how elite your army is, those who can cut and kill, I just don't fall for it, I'm just a deep ditch barrier to consume with you, you bite me!
Although Yang Chun is a literati, he is not like those scholars who are powerless.He himself participated in many battles in his early years, and commanding battles may be a bit sloppy, but his eyesight is not bad.

As soon as he heard it, he knew that Qiu Daqian's "disobedience" to build the camp was to defend Suiyang, not for his own self-interest.He waved his hand, sighed and said: "Okay, I won't pursue this matter anymore, remember to tell me what you do next time."

Hearing that Yang Chun said that he would not pursue it anymore, Qiu Daqian was relieved.

He continued to say to Yang Chun: "Defense is no better than offense. Even if we have more than [-] horses piled up in Suiyang City, we can't expand. The number of people who come into contact with the enemy is always only a few thousand people. On the contrary, it is a waste of money and food. countless.

In the end, the general suggested that part of the army should be evenly distributed among the nine small cities, and then the main force should be concentrated in Suiyang.So once a small city is attacked, Suiyang City can provide support at any time.

And when Suiyang was attacked, the soldiers and horses of the nine small cities could play by ear, encircling and annihilating the enemy army under the city. "

It has to be said that Qiu Daqian still has a few tricks, at least these routines sound very reliable.

"Here, the end general will do it."

Qiu Daqian bowed his hands and slowly exited the signing room.

Yang Chun looked at the defense map hanging on the wall, and the nine small towns on the north bank of the Sui River surrounded Suiyang City in a half-moon shape.Although the Suihe River has no defensive function, there is a saying that "if the enemy can go, I can go too".If the Liang army had lost their halberds at the foot of Suiyang city, it would be very difficult for them to escape back to the state of Liang.

He felt a little uneasy in his heart, but he didn't know where this feeling came from.Ordinarily, Xiao Yan, the Emperor of Liang, was not a mediocre person, otherwise he would not be able to overthrow Southern Qi and establish himself as emperor.

Xiao Yan sent these 7000 men to the Northern Expedition, is it really because this army is so fierce?
Yang Chun has used many intelligence channels to verify the news, including the scouts along the road.Not only did he know that Liang Jun only had about 7000 people, but he also knew that Yuan Hao, a waste, had not recruited even a single soldier, and he was still bare!
In other words, Liang Guo's army in the Northern Expedition is not a "coalition army" at all, but only those 7000 people.

Xiao Yan can be regarded as number one, doesn't he know that Wei Guo has deployed heavy troops in Suiyang?
Yang Chun fell into deep thought, but after thinking for half an hour, he still couldn't figure out what Xiao Yan was thinking.Is it really like what many people thought before I came here, just to deal with Yuan Hao in a perfunctory way?

"Forget it, even if you can't fight, at least it won't fall in three to five days, and there is still time to ask for help."

Yang Chun sighed and said to himself.

……

Five days later, Liang Jun's vanguard scouts appeared on the south bank of the Sui River, and another day later, the main force of the Liang Army arrived at the Sui River and camped on the south bank of the Sui River.

In the big tent of Liang Jun's army, deputy generals Ma Fonian, Song Jingxiu and Yu Tianmin surrounded Chen Qingzhi.On the table in front of them, there was a sketch drawn by scouts. With a few strokes, the "Soul Painter" clearly drew the terrain around Suiyang City and the distribution of the city.

It looks a bit like the one hanging on the wall of the signing room in Suiyang City.

"The situation is very clear. The Wei army has been prepared for a long time. It should be someone from the court who sold out the military aircraft."

Chen Qingzhi sighed softly, feeling a little emotional.

If Wei Jun hadn't gotten the news in advance, where would they have the time to build the nine small cities?Don't even think about it, there must be someone in Jiankang City colluding with the people of Wei, but I don't know who that person is.

"Captain, what should we do, should we take a detour?"

Ma Fonian asked in a deep voice.

Chen Qingzhi waved his hands, and said solemnly: "An ordinary man can win his will, but the army cannot win his spirit. What's more, this is the first battle of our Northern Expedition. Don't say anything, we will defeat Suiyang tomorrow!"

"tomorrow?"

The three people present shouted at the same time, all of them were startled by Chen Qingzhi's arrogance.

"Captain, how can we destroy the city tomorrow, is this just a joke?"

Song Jingxiu was a little incoherent.If it is said that Wei Jun is not prepared, it is okay to say, now Wei Jun is fully prepared, let alone a day, or a month, sometimes it is impossible to make it through, and it is not uncommon to be unable to attack for a month.

"I'm not joking. If we fail to capture Suiyang tomorrow, we will not be able to capture Suiyang City. Pass on the order to attack the city tomorrow. If you fail, you will become benevolent. Fight to the last man!"

There was no smile on Chen Qingzhi's face, and it didn't look like he was joking in normal times.The three lieutenants all bowed their hands and said yes with stern faces, and their hearts were in a state of turmoil.

"Tomorrow, follow my orders. If you can't drink to your heart's content in Suiyang City, then everyone will be shrouded in horse leather. I will definitely not be special just because I am the chief general, and neither will you."

"Follow the command of the governor, if you don't succeed, you will be benevolent!"

The three generals said in unison.

"Go and rest, recharge your batteries today, and eat an hour earlier tomorrow morning."

After dismissing the three generals, Chen Qingzhi walked aimlessly in the camp with his hands behind his back.In his opinion, Wei Jun's arrangement is a double-edged sword.

It seems that the line of defense has been consolidated, but in fact it has diluted the strength of the troops.

It is not the number of troops but the level of morale that determines the outcome of this battle.Of course, if you can't make a breakthrough tomorrow, then you will go all out, and then decline, and then you will be exhausted.This time the Northern Expedition is really out of the question.

"Could it be Qiu Daqian?"

Chen Qingzhi muttered to himself that he met Qiu Daqian in his debut battle, and the opponent was also a general who liked to build cities. Seeing the nine small cities in front of him, he couldn't help but think of Qiu Daqian.
