Governor please stay

Chapter 297 Look, I have the omen of great wealth!
Less than a hundred miles southeast of Xiao County, there is a small town named "Que Gu", also known as Que City.A few years ago, Lanqin led troops to attack Quegu and failed, so he retreated to Zhuyi City in embarrassment. Later, there was a civil turmoil in Wei, and Liang Guocai took the opportunity to occupy Quegu City.

After Zhang Liang led his army to conquer Pengcheng, he took a series of small towns outside Pengcheng, such as Longcheng (just called this name), Gaozuo Shu, Lu County and other places.

After Hu Sengyou "give up" the defense of Nanjiyin County, Liu Yishou sent Dugu Xin and his troops to take over Que Gu.

It happened to be opposite to the Dragon City occupied by Zhang Liangjun.

After Gao Huan's grass-roots team was set up, there has been no real control in Henan, and many power vacuums have emerged.Local tyrants occupied the surrounding counties one after another, and the power of the Northern Wei Dynasty showed a trend of fragmentation.

In Liu Yishou's previous life, it took several years for Gao Huan to gradually take over the regime in Hebei, Henan, Qingxu and other places, integrate the internal military factions, and began to provoke Liang Guo and plan to invade the south.

However, to Gao Huan's regret, when he was alive, the Eastern Wei Dynasty had no record against Liang Guo, and even suffered a small loss.

Instead, after his death, Hou Jing overthrew the decadent Liang State with 800 people, besieged Taicheng and starved to death Xiao Yan.This has to be said to be a great irony.

Quegu is not considered a "city" now, strictly speaking it can only be regarded as a town with walls.It faces Huangsangyu in the east, and the Zha River, a tributary of Suishui, divides Quegu Town into two, connected by a stone bridge.

This is naturally a place where water and land meet. Although the terrain is not dangerous, it is convenient to deploy troops and store food.Liu Yishou took Hu Luxian with him, and both of them put on the coarse linen clothes worn by farmers, and came to Quegu Town calmly, planning to go north to Pengcheng.

After rushing for a day, now I have time to relax and watch the lush and spring-like beauty here, Hu Luxian was also a little dazed for a while.

He pondered for a long time before he asked Liu Yishou, who was looking around and thinking thoughtfully from time to time: "My lord has so many advisors and generals, even Yang Xiuzhi has a good tongue. Why did my lord bring me here this time?" What about Pengcheng?"

From the time of departure to the present, Hu Luxian was stunned and couldn't understand this truth!This is to lobby, not to play, is it interesting to take him, a kid who can only shoot eagles, together?

"My lord, it's not just about using talents, it's also about cultivating talents. Don't think too much, you don't need to do anything this time, just stay by my side and don't talk. I'll take you out to see the world, nothing special the meaning of."

Liu Yishou laughed out loud, patted Hu Luxian on the shoulder and said indifferently.

Hu Luxian nodded embarrassingly. His father, Hu Lujin, taught him that when meeting smart people outside, he usually listens in reverse.

Liu Yishou said "nothing special", that is "you are very interesting"!
"Uh, my lord, let's just say it straight, or I'll always be thinking wildly, and I can't sleep well."

Hu Luxian said in a rather embarrassed way.I heard that the person guarding Pengcheng this time is Zhang Liang. This Zhang Liang is trusted by Er Zhurong, so there should be no problem... right?
"Actually, there's nothing special about it. If you really want to talk about it..."

Liu Yishou thought about it as if nothing had happened, and continued: "Probably in case Zhang Liang went crazy and killed us all, your father should be able to avenge me."

Pull me here just to cover your back?
Hu Luxian sighed helplessly, not knowing what to say.

Seeing his lack of energy, Liu Yishou patted him on the back fiercely and said, "Just now, I was just joking, don't worry, it's just a tour, I can't fool you! Have you heard the story of Peigong Fengyongchi? "

Liu Yishou suddenly asked a "strange" question.Hu Luxian shook his head and said, "I haven't heard of it."

"Then go back and read the book carefully, and you will naturally understand."

When the two walked across the stone bridge, they found that Dugu Xin had brought someone to wait here, as if to clean up the dust for them.

Seeing Dugu Xin, Liu Yishou asked, "Is there any movement from Zhang Liang?"

"There is a new situation. They have already evacuated from Dragon City yesterday. After listening to the reports from the spies, they also evacuated from other cities. Now they are all retreating into Pengcheng. It seems that they have plans to resist to the end."

Dugu Xin said with a strange expression, the opponent's movement was really unexpected.

Zhang Liang must have known what Liu Yishou was going to do here. After all, with so many soldiers stationed in Quegu, anyone with a discerning eye could tell that he was preparing for the attack on Pengcheng.

It's just that Zhang Liang shrinks his troops to defend the isolated city, which is somewhat incomprehensible.Specifically, you can refer to Zhang Wenyuan's battle against Sun Shiwan in Hefei.At that time, if the city was defended, all Cao Jun would surely die.

It is said that the isolated city is not defended, and Zhang Liang shrank his army to Pengcheng. Did he think that he would be able to resist for a lifetime in this way?At this time, shouldn't we use the small town to delay the opponent's attack, and then fight back in the field?

At this moment, Hu Luxian couldn't help interjecting and asked: "Although Zhang Liang is proficient in the art of war and has the ability to lead troops, but he was born in the army and rarely goes into battle to kill the enemy himself. How could he defend the city with such a situation? How does he suppress people in the city who want to surrender? What if the soldiers mutiny?"

These words made Liu Yishou and Duguxin stunned.

Hu Luxian was born in the tribe, and he is used to talking with big fists. No matter how ruthless your schemes are, your fists can't beat them softly, and others can directly destroy you physically.

Liu Yishou and the others thought that Zhang Liang was a military general similar to Peng Le, but Hu Luxian said that this guy was actually a scholar.Of course, these days, there is no separation of civil and military families, and there are many people who go out and enter while they are relatives.

Therefore, Zhang Liang should belong to the civilian army. He rarely leads troops alone, at least he must be equipped with a strong thug.

This information is very important. It can be understood that there should be a big fish beside Zhang Liang. Maybe it is the ability of this big fish that Zhang Liang can conquer Pengcheng, and now he is not worried about being trapped in the city.

It is estimated that this big fish is more confident in its martial arts itself.

Obviously, from various known sources, Zhang Liang is not so capable.This person's ability should be in strategizing, similar to Chen Yuankang's role, but not as versatile as Chen Yuankang.

So the question is, who is this big fish?Will there be unforeseen adverse effects on this persuasion?

"Things have changed."

Liu Yishou pondered for a moment, then said to Hu Luxian: "You wait here for my return, I will enter Pengcheng alone."

"Master is not allowed!"

Duguxin and Hu Luxian were in a hurry. The kind of boss who pushes his subordinates into the fire pit is certainly hateful, but Liu Yishou, a lord who is always alone in danger, will also make his subordinates very embarrassed.

"My lord, you're here. This subordinate also knows some people in the Er Zhu Rongjun. It's better if I go with you?"

Hu Luxian gritted his teeth and said.

The previous few times don’t count, but this time, it’s time for him to really perform. At this time, he must not shrink back. If he shrinks back, it may be difficult to get reused in the future!
"It makes sense, it's true that it's better for you to follow along." Liu Yishou nodded slightly and said.

Hu Lv envied him as if he had received an amnesty, but felt uneasy.Liu Yishou didn't seem to be worried about Zhang Liang killing him, but if that big fish had a bad attitude, it probably won't come to fruition this time.

It's hard to say what the end result will be.

"My lord, I'm sorry to say it bluntly. This time, just send an envoy to persuade you to surrender. Why do you go in person?"

Dugu Xin asked cautiously.Not only him, but many people under Liu Yishou's command did not understand why he was asked to take the risk himself this time.

"Zhang Liang is a loyal and even foolish generation, if ordinary people try to persuade them to surrender, they will be killed by Zhang Liang to frighten the generals under his command, so as to unite as one.

And I went, will he kill me? "

Liu Yishou asked back.

Dugu Xin was speechless, since this bird man is so ignorant of current affairs, he should just be extinct.

As if seeing what Dugu Xin was thinking, Liu Yishou sighed: "In any case, those who are loyal to the old master must give him a chance to re-board the ship. On our own side, don't we always say that we must be loyal to the old master?" Responsibility? Everything should be leveled, and those foolish and loyal people should be given full respect.

We first behaved first and then fought, bringing meaning to it. It is his business if he doesn't listen, and when the time comes to kill him, no one should criticize him. Do you think this is the truth? "

Having said all this, what else can I say.Dugu Xin and Hu Luxian both bowed and said: "My lord is benevolent and righteous!"

……

Smart people sometimes like to think too much, including Liu Yishou, who is a smart person, sometimes think too much, paying too much attention to the enemy and ignoring his own reputation.

The most important reason why Zhang Liang withdrew all his troops was, of course, his tenacious resistance.However, the most direct reason why he retreated to Pengcheng was because many of Zhang Liang's subordinates heard that the full-fledged Liu Yishou was going to attack Pengcheng after hearing that he had defected to Liang, and they all wanted to surrender the city!
It cannot be said that these people are snobbish, it can only be said that seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages is the instinct of human beings.

If you don't shrink your troops, I'm afraid that a group of people on the periphery of Pengcheng will all give up the city!Instead of waiting for that time to scold these people for being shameless and unjust, it is better to shrink the troops now and stay in Pengcheng so that no one dares to make trouble.

At that time, Liu Yishou defeated Er Zhurong on the bank of the Bian River, which indeed caused a great psychological shadow on the soldiers under Er Zhurong's command. Among these people, there were many who did not want to fight against him.The main reason is that now that the isolated city has been trapped, there are no reinforcements in the front, back, left, and right, and it is really self-defeating to resist stubbornly.

There is absolutely no hope in sight.

If they want to return to Jinyang, not to mention the many obstacles, even the distance of thousands of miles is not something a single army can bear.

Compared with Liu Yishou and the others' determination to win, Zhang Liang, who lives in Pengcheng, actually lives like a year every day.

That day Zhang Liang inspected the top of Pengcheng City, and saw a tall and mighty barbarian general in crotch armor, changing his shift. He quickly cupped his hands politely and said, "Xianggui, how is the situation in the city today?"

The man looked left and right, pulled Zhang Liang to a place where there was no one there, and said with a bitter expression, "I sent people out of the city today, and I heard the news that Er Zhurong, the governor, was defeated by Gao Huan, and now he has returned to Jinyang."

Zhang Liang turned pale when he heard that, he couldn't believe it: "Defeated?"

"It should be true. The spies I sent out have asked many people, and the details are wrong, but Er Zhurong returned to Jinyang, this is beyond doubt."

Zhang Liang's body was so weak that he was about to fall to the ground, but the barbarian general grabbed his arm and managed to stand still.

"So, we are alone, and Pengcheng is dead?"

Zhang Liang muttered to himself with blank eyes.

His previous calculation was that Er Zhurong would defeat Gao Huan and occupy Xingyang again.At that time, he could send someone to ask for help, and it was not too far from Pengcheng to the territory actually controlled by Wei State.

However, if Er Zhurong returns to Jinyang, there is no need to describe how far that place is from here.Now their lone army has completely fallen into the state of "every day should not be called, and the earth will not work".

For what?

The barbarian general said mysteriously again: "Bode (Zhang Liang's name) don't panic, do you know why my name is so expensive?"

After Xiaowen moved inland, the Hu people’s large households were deeply Sinicized, and their cultural habits formed a unique “Northern Sinicization”. Although it was still different from the habits of the Southern Dynasties, it was completely different from the customs of the Xianbei Hu people in the border areas.

This Hu man is a typical "Sinicization product". Although his hair is slightly golden, his way of speaking is no different from that of the Han people in the North.

Zhang Liang shook his head and said: "I don't know. At the beginning Erzhu Dadu supervised me and the two of us to ensure the escape, but who would have expected... Sigh!"

At this time, he was still thinking about his own writing, Zhang Liang felt that the other party was out of line, and at any time, he was on fire!How could he have the heart to call you "Xianggui".

"When my mother was in her womb, a bird landed on her left shoulder. A fortune teller said that this was a sign of great wealth, so when she became an adult, she took the word Xianggui below."

The barbarian general said mysteriously, with a rather smug look on his face, as if he wasn't nervous about the future situation at all.

"Oh, yes, yes." Zhang Liang replied perfunctorily, no longer interested in continuing this topic with the other party.

This person is a good fighter in war, but some aspects are really powerless to complain about. This guy is superstitious no longer once or twice.

If this guy hadn't said to stay and not leave, they would have escaped a long time ago, how could they be in trouble today?What did the guy say then?

It seems to say that there is a bloody disaster in the north, and it is better to be quiet and not move now!When they want to move, they can't move!
Zhang Liang was simply baffled by such remarks.

Could it be that when you were a child, the physiognomist said that if you can become rich and powerful, you will be able to become rich and powerful, and live to your old age without worrying about food and clothing?You are a fool when you step on a horse!Don't only Han people believe in Zhouyi Fengshui and the like?Why are you here to join in the fun!

"No, Bird, when I got up this morning, a bird flew to my shoulder, and I couldn't drive it away. It's still pecking rice in my room." Is it a sign of great wealth?"

Zhang Liang thought about it. In fact, it is very common for birds to run into the house, and even refuse to leave when they are extremely hungry. He is really powerless to complain about it.If this can also be regarded as a sign of wealth, there are simply too many people who want to be rich that day!

"I'm tired, Xianggui is on duty today, alas!"

Zhang Liang walked to the house where he lived in a daze, not wanting to talk to this guy anymore.
