Governor please stay

Chapter 330
In the dead of night, the moon hangs high.A team of mixed infantry and cavalry marched south along Yishui River.Walking at the front of the team was an extremely burly knight, as if a small mountain was moving.

Only one person in this team lights a torch every once in a while, so they can see the direction without being too conspicuous.

"How long until Tan County?"

The burly knight who spoke was Gao Aocao who was in charge of going south.

"Back to Governor Gao, Tan County is not far away." The soldiers around him replied.

"Slow, it's still too slow!"

Gao Aocao snorted coldly, and said to the soldiers: "Send the order, all the cavalry will follow me, bypass Tan County and attack Xiapi City, and the rest of the infantry will follow after conquering Tan County!"

"Captain, we only have two thousand cavalry, isn't that too little?"

The soldiers were shocked and couldn't believe that Gao Aocao played so well.

"Two thousand is enough!"

Gao Aocao snorted coldly, this is already their entire property, if they lose, they really don't need to go back to Hebei, they can just find a quiet place in Qingxu and kill themselves.

Soon, the army was divided into two, the cavalry marched away, and the infantry, led by Gao Aocao's brother Gao Shen, continued to march and soon reached Tan County.

Although Tan County was captured by the Liang Army before, Xiao Ji did not leave many people to garrison here, because Yang Yaren's team was stationed in Kongtong, Donghai County to the south, and the fastest one-day journey here was really unnecessary. worry about what.

This is how wars are fought. With more cities occupied, it is impossible for you to keep a lot of people stationed in each city. In this case, there will be no possibility of attack if there is no mobile force.

To strengthen the strength of one place, it is necessary to weaken other places, this is an obvious thing.

Tan County was originally a newly occupied land, Liang Jun hadn't established a firm foothold, and the city defense was not very familiar with it.Gao Shen commanded the army to attack the city. In just half an hour, the army attacked the city wall without encountering any decent resistance.

Leaving 500 people to guard the city, Gao Shen led his troops to continue southward, preparing to join Gao Aocao.

……

In the study, Liu Yishou asked Hu Luxian to sit opposite him and poured wine for him, flattering the young eagle shooter.

"I'm not very familiar with things in the grassland, so I need to ask you about some things."

Liu Yishou said kindly.

"My lord, please, please, I know everything I can say...that, I can say everything."

Hu Luxian said nervously, he has read a lot of books recently, and his speech has improved, he thinks.

"I heard that your father marched and fought with the method of the Huns. You can know the number of enemy troops by looking at the horseshoe prints and animal dung. Is there such a thing?"

Actually asked this.

Hu Luxian nodded slightly and said, "That's true. But fighting on the grassland is nothing more than hunting." He said it easily, but Liu Yishou was greatly shocked.

This "encirclement" and "hunting" really exhausted the essence of the battle formation.

"I don't know about fighting, but I know about hunting. Some prey want to run away, and some want to hide. When hunting, we didn't say who would hunt alone.

There are many people to surround the prey, and the key person with good archery is responsible for shooting.My elder brother (Hu Luguang) does this kind of thing. "

Tacticians often appear on the grassland for a reason. After all, their lives are dealing with similar situations every day, and it is easy to draw analogies by analogy.

Liu Yishou knew that he lacked that kind of life experience, but this did not prevent him from humbly asking and learning from those with strengths.

"I'll drink the wine later, you come with me."

Liu Yishou gave Hu Luxian a hand, and the two of them walked to the big map on the wall of the study, on which there were many flags of different colors, red and blue.

"Uh, my lord, how did these flags stand upside down on the map?"

Hu Luxian asked curiously.

It's actually a magnet, it's just that your focus is weird.Liu Yishou thought to himself.

"Not long ago, a child in Shouyang City accidentally swallowed a needle into his throat and couldn't take it out. Cui Jiong made a hole in the magnet, polished it, passed it through with a thread, let the child swallow it, and carefully took out the needle.

The bases under these flags are all equipped with polished magnets. "

He didn't die after such a toss, this kid is really lucky!Hu Luxian complained secretly in his heart, couldn't help but took down a small flag and looked at it in his hand, feeling that the magical things in the world are really emerging one after another, and his previous knowledge is too shallow.

"Look at the map."

Liu Yishou said with a sigh.

"Okay my lord!"

Hu Luxian quickly put down the chess pieces.

"In your opinion, where will the team of red pawns drive the team of blue pawns and hunt them down? Just say what you feel."

"It feels like it should be here."

Hu Luxian pointed to the location of Wuyuan City.

really!

Liu Yishou nodded calmly.

If one person's judgment is biased, then a large number of people who are not in touch with each other have the same judgment, which is enough to explain many problems.

Now Gao Huan's army's strategic intentions are obvious. In the first stage, the Liang army that had gone out to the Lanling area was besieged and wiped out. In the second stage, depending on the situation, they went south to attack the city and encircle Beihai County, and waged a siege and annihilation battle.

The battle situation in the second stage should be adjusted according to the results of the first stage. For example, whether the Yangyaren Department can return to Tong County (Muyang, Jiangsu), for example, whether the defenders of Beihai County can escape by sea, etc. .

In short, there is nothing doubtful about the complete annihilation of the Liang army in Lanling and other places in Wuyuan City.

"I heard that your elder brother went into battle to kill the enemy when he was very young. We are going to send troops this time, and we didn't want to take you there..."

"My lord, please be sure to take it with you!"

Hu Luxian said excitedly.

The last time Yu Hong was shot and killed, he was directly promoted to the governor in charge of a hundred people. How can he be promoted if he doesn't fight and kill the enemy?

"Don't worry, there will be opportunities."

Liu Yishou patted Hu Luxian on the shoulder, but his eyes were on the map on the wall.

"But we have to wait until the ice and snow melt."

……

In the lobby of the government office in Xiapi City, a young man with a height of eight feet and an extraordinary appearance is drinking.His name is Wei Can, the grandson of Wei Rui, a famous general in the Southern Dynasties, Wei Fang, who has just passed away, is his biological father.

Wei Can was originally a member of Xiao Gang, who joined the army as a soldier in the prince's mansion, and also had the post of infantry captain.However, with the passage of time in the Southern Dynasties, Webster also transformed from a general to a family of literati.

The same is true for Wei Can, who has a lot of military positions on his body, but he doesn't have much experience in leading soldiers, and even less capable in leading soldiers. He only inherited the figure of a general from the Wei family, and he looks tall and burly.

He was still in Ding You, because his father had just passed away not long ago.But Prince Xiao Gang suffered a big loss in this wave, so how could he not put his own people in it?
So Wei Can was reinstated by the official. In addition, he also served as the prefect of Xiapi County and the governor of Wuzhou (a state newly established in Liang State, after all, won the new territory), and charged into the battle for Prince Xiao Gang.

For Wei Can, he didn't want to come, but he had to.Because Webster is already a wealthy family in the Liang Kingdom, the first generation of Wei Rui has long since disappeared, and the second generation of pillar Wei Fang has just disappeared, and Webster's is about to decline. Now that the prince Xiao Gang calls, Wei Can can refuse. what?

Fortunately, there are a lot of Liang troops this time, and they are all on the front line. Xiapi County is already in the strategic rear, so there is really nothing to worry about.

After Wei Can arrived in Xiapi County, he didn't pay much attention to things like consolidating the city defense, except for issuing some notices to calm the people. As for other civil affairs, such as spring plowing, there was nothing to do because it was the twelfth lunar month of winter. .

So what else to do but drink?After all, Wei Can himself is not a womanizer, and he is not good at that.

"Master Wei! Something is wrong! Wei Jun has broken through the city and is heading towards the government office!"

A personal guard ran in in a panic, and the voice came before the person arrived.

"Wei Jun? Where did Wei Jun come from?"

Wei Can was stunned, unable to understand what happened.

"It's the Wei army! They intercepted one of our food delivery teams, and then pretended to be a food delivery team and tricked them into opening the city gate. Governor Wei, hurry up, or it will be too late if you don't leave!"

The guard was Wei Can's servant, so he couldn't help but drag Wei Can to the stable.This grandson of Wei Rui rode out of the south gate of Xiapi City on horseback before he could figure out what happened.

At this time, the city was already on fire, and it was a mess.Wei Can didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly headed south to Suyu, an important town in Nanliang.

After a battle that was not considered a battle, Gao Aocao led a large group of people to Xiapi City Mansion. Seeing that the inside was empty and there were no ghosts left, he couldn't help but took off his helmet and handed it to his relatives. The soldiers wandered around the government office with disdain on their faces.

"It's all some kind of stupid thing, there is no single enemy!"

Gao Aocao spit on the ground. The battle went smoothly beyond imagination. Liang Jun was not prepared at all. It may be because the city was newly occupied not long ago, and the defenses were not in place, plus the lack of troops... all kinds of problems Let's not talk about it.

When Gao Aocao broke through the city, he also used a little trick, ordering a group of people to change into the captured Liang Jun uniforms, and wanted to fish in troubled waters and sneak into the city. Unexpectedly, Liang Jun was negligent and managed to succeed!
"The three armies must not be without food for a day! Send out cavalry to inquire about Liang Jun's grain transport convoy, as well as where the grain is. With so many people in Lanling, I don't believe that there is no need for grain supply."

Gao Aocao has a very bad temper and is arrogant and uninhibited, but when it comes to fighting, he is indeed a bit talented and has some tricks, not all brute force.Liang Jun has a lot of numbers, so far, he just lost the upper hand, not without the power to fight.

Of course, it's hard to say how much strength they still have to use their spears and rifles after their food supply is cut off.Taking advantage of your illness killing you, Gao Aocao never thought of leaving Liang Jun behind.

There is only one thing he has to do, defend Xiapi County, and then attract Liu Yishou's main force to Xiapi County, and block the Liang army's retreat in Lanling and other places!
As for the division and siege battle, there are other people, and he doesn't need to worry too much.

"Send someone to Xue County to inform Duan Rong and his gang that they can do something."

Gao Aocao said to the soldiers impatiently.

……

Beihai County was successfully attacked by the Wei army from the sea, and Xiao Xu led his troops to defend Yuzhou Island, which was almost close to the coastline.

Yang Yaren feared that the Wei army would be powerful, so he retreated to Tongxian County, which is adjacent to Beihai County, and held the line of defense to stand firm and wait for reinforcements.

Xiapi County and other towns along the Yishui River were lost one after another. The Gao Ao Cao Department of the Wei Army pierced the Liang Army's rear like a sharp knife, and sent out rangers to harass the Liang Army's supply line.

The Liang army in Lanling and other places was cut off, and they didn't know whether to advance or retreat.One nightmarish bad news after another spread to Jiankang, causing Zhu Yi's scalp to explode.

Didn't it say that the kings competed for merit, conquered the city and conquered the land, and swallowed thousands of miles like a tiger?Isn't fighting Wei Jun like cutting melons and vegetables?

What the hell is going on here?

The pot was so big that Zhu Yi couldn't handle it at all. He hurried to Tongtai Temple to find Xiao Yan, but the news he got was that Xiao Yan had gone to Kaishan Temple outside the city, saying that he was at the Kaishan Temple. Pray for the children.

Zhu Yi almost scolded his mother, why don't you pray in Tongtai Temple?What is the meaning of running away from Shansi?
There is no way, the emperor is capricious, let alone the old emperor.Zhu Yi had no choice but to go out of the city to find Xiao Yan at the Kaishan Temple in Zijin Mountain, and reported the military situation.

The corruption of the battle situation also surprised Xiao Yan.Even if he didn't pay much attention to the progress of this battle before, he was shocked by Liang Jun's poor performance.

If we talk about the loss of manpower, it is really not big, and the main force is still there.However, the place it occupied was at a great disadvantage, and it was completely passive and beaten.

Xiao Yan is very proficient in Go, how can he not know that even if no one in the army is dead, as long as he is in a desperate situation, defeat will only happen sooner or later.

"Now, who else's soldiers and horses have not moved?"

Xiao Yan stopped counting the beads, opened his cloudy eyes and asked.

"The Yangyaren tribe is trapped in Tongxian County, so don't move lightly. If Tongxian County is lost, the Wei army will drive straight in from the coastal areas. It is the Huai salt production area. If it is lost, the people of Liang State may not even be able to eat salt. "

Zhu Yi didn't blame Yang Yaren, this one was the only one who was still in good condition among all the expedition troops.If Yang Yaren really went to rescue Beihai County desperately, the consequences would be disastrous.

"Where's Liu Yishou? Why didn't he send troops to Pengcheng?"

Xiao Yan asked with some dissatisfaction.

"Yesterday, Liu Yishou made a statement saying that the Wei army appeared north of Pengcheng, so don't move lightly."

Zhu Yi said helplessly.

Is this an excuse? It must be an excuse.Just what else can you say?I was afraid that Liu Yishou would participate in this battle, and that the other side would take advantage of it.It might not be easy for this person to come out and clean up the mess now.

"He sits in Huainan and holds a heavy army. When it's time for him to make a move, what does it mean that he stands on the sidelines?"

Xiao Yan asked dissatisfied.

Of course that is what it means!

Zhu Yi shouted desperately in his heart, but it was impossible to tell Xiao Yan.

"Your Majesty, now is not the time to fight between emotions. It is the best policy to promise Liu Yishou to send troops to rescue the siege."

He bowed deeply to Xiao Yan and said.

Obviously, although Liu Yishou's troops have already fought against the Wei army, they still have a lot of mobile troops in their hands, and they are elite soldiers!Now it is meaningless to study why the other party has so much spare power at this time, whether it is hiding evil intentions.

The only thing to do is to rescue the besieged Liang Jun.

Otherwise, Xiao Yan's sons were all killed or captured, that would be unacceptable to the whole government and the opposition, and there would be great chaos in Liang Guoguo!
"Let Liu Yishou be the commander-in-chief of the ten prefectures in Huaibei, and all the prefectures will obey his orders and have the right to kill first and then act later. Then give him a governor of Xuzhou, and let him clean up the mess."

Xiao Yan waved his hand feebly, all these bad news add up, it is really enough.

Most of these so-called "ten states" are actually battlefields with no real name, but it sounds like they are powerful. If Liu Yishou can clean up the situation this time, he will be a strengthened version of the once powerful Xia Houkui.

Of course, if he can't clean up the situation, then he is the second Xia Houkui who is now acting as a man with his tail between his legs.

Xiao Yan is really in a hurry, it seems that Xiao Ji is indeed his favorite heir.

Zhu Yi sighed in his heart.
