Governor please stay

Chapter 461 Give birth to a child like Liu Yishou

That day, among the rebellious army, Gao Cheng got a cold arrow in his right eye, and passed out from the pain.Dou Tai's eldest son, Dou Xiaojing, risked being slashed, carried Gao Cheng on his back, and ran for two miles desperately. Gao Cheng's personal guards stood behind him and blocked the knife all the way, so he escaped.

After returning to Zheyang City, Dou Xiaojing hurriedly sent people to Deng County to inform Gao Yue who was confronting Liang Jun in front: Zheyang's grain road was cut off, Gao Cheng was shot in the right eye, and he was still undergoing diagnosis and treatment, and his situation was very critical. .There are not many soldiers and horses in Ocher City, and it may be broken by Liang Jun's elite soldiers at any time.

Gao Yue waited for the news, but before he could react, a fast horse from Ocher City came and told Gao Yue: Dou Tai was beheaded by the enemy general in the midst of the chaos, and almost all the fine cavalry under his command overwhelmed.Now that Zheyang City has almost lost contact with Nanyingchuan County, please Gao Yue quickly withdraw his troops back to Zheshi City, and make plans after restoring the connection and grain road with Nanyingchuan County.

Basically, this is tantamount to suggesting a retreat.It's just that the person who made the suggestion was worried about being convicted, so he couldn't say those two words.

Now there is chaos in the rear, plus Dou Tai was killed and Gao Cheng was shot in the eye, life and death are unknown.Gao Yue knew that even if he won Nanyang in this expedition, it would be impossible to make Gao Huan happy.

If the army is defeated again, I am afraid that Gao Huan will really "kill Ma Su with tears", so he quickly finds She Digan to plot.She Diqian married Gao Huan's younger sister, and in Gao Huan's circle, she was considered to be in the same category as Dou Tai.

Now that She Diqian saw Dou Tai's ending like this, the rabbit died and the fox was sad, and hit it off with Gao Yue.

After Gao Yue retreated, Yu Jin soon noticed and sent troops to cover up and kill him all the way.But Gao Yue took precautions. In the end, Yu Jin only took some rout soldiers who couldn't retreat in time, and didn't even capture much of the luggage.

By the time Gao Yue led his troops back into Ocher City, built camps around Ocher City, and sent people to sweep away Liang Jun Jingqi, Yang Zhong and others had already withdrawn to Xiangyang.

Yu Jin discovered that Gao Yue divided his troops into camps in Fangcheng, ten miles southwest of Zheshi City, and set up checkpoints and camps around the surrounding area. However, Liang Jun had not yet occupied Wancheng, so it would be unwise to storm Zheshi City. Therefore, they had to camp by the Meixi River not far southwest of Wancheng, and closely monitored the movements of Gao Yue's army.

……

In the study of Xiangyang City Government Office, Yang Zhong and Hu Luxian returned from victory and reported the military situation and the results of the battle to Liu Yishou.Wang Wei was terrified when he heard it, and couldn't believe that the other party dared to play so big.

"General Yang, I have a few questions I want to ask you."

Wang Wei said in a deep voice.

"Wang Changshi, please tell me."

Yang Zhong suppressed the excitement in his heart and said calmly.

Wang Wei nodded and continued to ask: "My lord is asking you to attack the enemy's grain roads. Why did you choose to cooperate with the local villagers in Nanyang? Don't you worry about leaking military information?"

These days, people's hearts are separated from their belly, and there are all kinds of disgusting people.Wang Wei has never been shy about using the most sinister thinking to judge whether people are in favor or not.

"Nanyang missed spring plowing this year. Ordinary people have no way to survive. Good people have turned into bandits. If we rely on food as our foundation, those people will definitely cooperate with us wholeheartedly. No one wants to go hungry. Gao Yue's army only robs food, and many people in Nanyang I wish they would die soon. Therefore, I adopted a strategy of cooperating with the locals to obtain information about the enemy's movements, so as to attack slowly."

Yang Zhong said neither humble nor overbearing, his thoughts are very organized.

Liu Yishou waved his hand, signaling Wang Wei not to ask any more questions.

"Is it true that Dou Tai was killed in this battle formation?" Liu Yishou asked curiously.

"It's true, Dou Tai's body has been brought back." Yang Zhong clasped his hands and replied, he had repeatedly confirmed, after all, he had captured many prisoners, and everyone said it was Dou Tai, and I believe this will not go wrong.

Liu Yishou nodded slightly. Dou Tai was a unique figure under Er Zhurong's command back then, vaguely equal to Gao Huan.Now that he died on the battlefield, this is the wave of the Yangtze River pushing the waves ahead, and the times will not show mercy to anyone.

Although the times need heroes, there are no invincible heroes in the world.Even if you are a hero, if you die, you are really dead.

"Uh, I heard you said in the battle report that Hu Luxian shot Gao Cheng in the eye, so what happened?"

Compared with Dou Tai, Liu Yishou is more concerned about whether the arrow of Sand Sculpture King really hit Gao Cheng.

In all fairness, Gao Cheng's influence in Gao Huan's camp is really much greater than that of Dou Tai, and his potential is incomparable to that of Dou Tai.

"Returning to my lord, I saw someone calling him a prince, and only Gao Huan has a prince. Who would call him a prince these days? I think it must be a big shot.

Originally, I wanted to aim at the head and shoot him with an arrow.But he moved a few steps and turned his head again.I have already stretched the bowstring, and I will shoot this arrow if I don't shoot it, so I adjusted the position and am not sure if I can hit it.

Unexpectedly, it shot him in the eye.Start teaching yourself archery, and it's the first time you shoot in the eye!At the beginning, because he shot the leopard and missed the eye and ruined the leopard's skin, he was often beaten by his father. "

Hu Luxian said excitedly, this arrow can be regarded as sweeping away the shadow of childhood.Hu Lujin's words, similar to "I told you to shoot in the eye and you couldn't shoot, see if I don't kill you", will never become his nightmare again.

"Is it true?"

Liu Yishou looked at Yang Zhong and asked.

"A number of captives, who are Gao Cheng's personal guards, personally confirmed this matter. As for whether General Hu Lu was shot, I dare not say for sure, but Gao Cheng has an arrow in the eye, this is beyond doubt."

At that time Yang Zhong was fighting with Dou Tai's rout, so he really didn't notice this.It was when the prisoners were counted and captured after the battle was won that I heard that Gao Cheng had been shot.

"My lord, I should have shot it. Each of my arrows has the word "Sand Sculpture King" on it to confirm the result of the battle. It's not anything else. The main reason is that the subordinates are afraid of stealing credit. This time the arrows are recovered. Only one is missing."

Hu Luxian is very confident, he should be the one who shot the shot, after all, he heard someone called Gao Cheng's son, and wanted to drag Gao Cheng away from the battlefield.

"It's not difficult to investigate this matter, it's a matter of time. However, if Gao Huan knows that you shot Gao Cheng blindly, or even shot him dead, it will be very difficult for your father and brother to be under Gao Huan's command."

Liu Yishou sighed softly, looked at Hu Luxian and said.

At that time, if Gao Huan asked Hu Lujin: Your son shot my eldest son blind with his own hands, what would you say?
"My son, who left home because he couldn't bear his father's beating, has long since disappeared from the family tree. My father has his own answer."

Hu Luxian gritted his teeth and said.

Liu Yishou was slightly stunned, but suddenly realized.Sure enough, the old fox is an old fox. When Hu Luxian came here to dawdle, he thought of a way out.

In the last years of the Northern Qi Dynasty, there were sharp shots in the army, and they were all used as trump cards to deter the enemy.Hu Luxian became famous in one shot, and it can almost be said that he stepped on Gao Cheng's position.

I don't know if when others mention this son in front of Hu Lujin, the other party will proudly say "I deserve to be born by Lao Tzu", or regretfully say "Why didn't you shoot him on the wall back then".

"This time, the two of you are the first ones. When the time comes, you will be rewarded for your merits. Now that the overall situation in Nanyang has been settled, you can return to Shouyang with your elite soldiers.

The battle situation in Qingxu is rotten, and the Wei army is now besieging Pengcheng and Xiapi, and the defense line is crumbling.I want to lead troops to Qingxu to fight the Wei army after solving the matter in Nanyang.

You go back to Shouyang first, recruit some brave men, and then follow my orders, don't rush to Qingxu to join the battle.Yu Wentai said that he can still stand it. "

Hearing this, Yang Zhong and Hu Luxian's hearts fell to the ground.The implication of Liu Yishou's words is that you have played well this time, you can expand the headquarters appropriately, and go back to Shouyang to reorganize first.

Judging by the other party's undeniable personality and almost flawless political reputation, it is already certain that there is nothing hindering the two of them from becoming successful.

"Thank you, my lord, for your compassion, I will surely die."

Yang Zhong and Hu Luxian bowed down together and said excitedly.

"Okay, hurry up and bring your troops back to Shouyang, so you don't need to flatter me.

It is enough for me to have one Yang Xiuzhi under my command, but what if everyone is Yang Xiuzhi? "

Liu Yishou waved his hands with a smile, and the two quickly resigned, because the other party must have military matters to discuss with Wang Wei.

"My lord, if Wancheng is not under control, it will always be a serious problem for the confidants, and it is easy to become elbows and armpits."

Wang Wei said in a deep voice.

"That's right. It's advisable to use your courage to pursue the poor, and you should not be famous for being the overlord. If Wancheng is not under control, it will never be regarded as the real control of Nanyang. The distance between Ocher City and the city we control is too far. The only way to control Wancheng is to use it as a foundation." Only then can we send troops to Zheshi City, and then drive the Wei army to the north of Ye County."

The map of Nanyang is almost familiar in Liu Yishou's mind now, he knows where all the strongholds are with his eyes closed.

"Brother Cui, will you submit now?"

Wang Wei couldn't believe it.Judging from the behavior of these two people before, it can be said that they are stones in a latrine, smelly and hard.Not only is it ugly to speak, but it is also very awkward to do things.

Anyway, he didn't believe that the Cui brothers would open the city and surrender now.

"We still have to deal with difficult things. You can't say that because the Cui brothers are more difficult to deal with, you shouldn't deal with them. Siege battles will kill people, and many people will die.

Although many people on the battlefield do not take the lives of their soldiers seriously, I still hope that their families will not lose their lives because of a certain general.

There is a big difference between not being afraid of death and following one's will. "

Liu Yishou explained to Wang Wei tirelessly.Only by cherishing the soldiers can the whole army use their lives.Just because the commander's impulse is stupid, don't take human life seriously.

It is always the highest point of war to fight against the enemy and subdue the enemy without fighting.

"It seems that my lord has already prepared what to do?"

Wang Wei asked with interest.One look at Liu Yishou's appearance, one can tell that he already has a draft.

"That's natural. Let's just see how the Cui brothers surrendered. The time was not right before, but now the time is ripe."

Liu Yishou said with a smile, not willing to explain too much.

"Really?"

"Indeed."

……

Fighting was in full swing in various places in Nanyang, and the Cui brothers in Wancheng were not feeling well.It's okay to close the city in a short period of time, but after a long time, various problems will arise, the most important thing is spring plowing.

Now that Guyu has passed, even Wancheng can't go out, so we can only use the hanging basket to send some scouts out from time to time to check the military situation and get a rough idea of ​​the situation.Many powerful and aristocratic family members from Nanyang in the city who took refuge in Wancheng were already a little impatient.These people would come to Cui Shiqian from time to time to put pressure on them.

It is impossible for the territory of Nanyang to become a force on its own, and it must rely on one party to survive.

Either contact Henan, that is, continue to be Gao Huan's feudal town;
Either communicate with Wuguan and become the bridgehead for Guanzhong to invade the Central Plains;

Either contact Xiangyang and become the front line of the Southern and Northern Expeditions.

One of the three must be chosen, the only difference lies in how much autonomy Cui has.

Cui Shiqian didn't want to make a choice, but many people in Wancheng believed that he had to make a choice, otherwise, those who couldn't survive in Wancheng would help him make the choice.

On this day, Cui Shiqian returned to the government office to rest after patrolling all parts of Wancheng with his own soldiers.

Before his butt was hot, the city gate official who guarded the city sent someone to report that a "messenger" had come with a special status.

Cui Shiqian was in a state of desperation, worried about all kinds of trivial matters in Wancheng, when he heard that an envoy came, he immediately regained his energy, and asked someone to bring the envoy to the study, and asked Cui Xi to come together to discuss countermeasures.

When someone brought it to him, Cui Shiqian was dumbfounded. It turned out that the person who came to Wancheng this time was none other than Cui Yaolan who was sent to Xiangyang.

Now the other party's complexion is rosy, and his complexion is much better than before.And it looks like the lower abdomen is slightly bulging, as if she is already pregnant.

"Little sister came to Wancheng today, but to lobby me and your second brother?"

Cui Shiqian, Cui Xi, and Cui Yaolan were all born to the same mother, so they naturally spoke directly, and Cui Shiqian didn't want to be polite to Cui Yaolan.

"My younger sister just listened to my family's A-Lang's order, and came to deliver a letter to my brother. I am a concubine, and now I am pregnant with Liujia. It is also difficult to help my husband, and it is also difficult to help my brother. I don't know what to do when I am caught in the middle."

Cui Yaolan sighed, and said exactly what Liu Yishou had taught her before.This time Liu Yishou asked her to deliver a letter in Wancheng, hoping that she would be moved by her affection, and play the emotional card with Cui Shiqian, not to talk about those military affairs, so as not to backfire.

Cui Shiqian looked at Cui Yaolan's stomach and smiled wryly.

Women are soft at heart, but mothers are strong like sons.Cui Shiqian understood that when Cui Yaolan had no child in her womb, she would still turn to the Cui family, but if she was pregnant with Liujia, once she offended Liu Yishou, would it be Cui's family would raise their mother and child for the rest of their lives?

Now that Liu Yishou is so powerful, and Cui Yaolan gave birth to a son, how could he turn to the Cui family for the sake of his son's future?
This is an easy true or false question.

Opening Liu Yishou's autographed letter and reading it at a glance, Cui Shiqian felt dizzy and couldn't believe that it was all true.

In the letter, Liu Yishou said that the soldiers and horses from Guanzhong had already returned to Guanzhong from Wuguan, and Da Xiwu was defeated and captured, and he is currently in Xiangyang.If you want to meet him, make an appointment and send someone out of the city, and I will let him meet you outside the city.

Then Liu Yishou said that his generals beheaded Dou Tai, one of Gao Huan's subordinates, and swept across Nanyang. Now Zheyang and Ye County in the north of Nanyang have not yet been captured, and Wancheng is still in your Cui family's hands.

And in this battle, Gao Huan's eldest son, Gao Cheng, was shot in the eye by a sharpshooter under his command, Liu, and his life and death were unknown.

Let alone the ending, but no matter what, without your rebellion, Dou Tai would not die, and Gao Cheng would not be blind.Gao Huan will blame you for all these accounts.

Now that the soldiers and horses in Guanzhong are gone, Gao Huan has been offended to death. You are in Wancheng, are you blocking the city gate and not going out for the rest of your life?
Cui Yaolan is going to have a baby in a few months, when the time comes you will be the baby's uncle, do you want him to see his father and uncle killing you to death?
Because of emotion and reason, you all have no other choice now, why don't you take the initiative to donate Wancheng and be my confidant of someone Liu?

When the rewards from the Liang Kingdom come down, you will move to the surrounding areas of Jiankang, where the mountains and rivers are livable, and there is no shortage of wealth. You can also be an official in the capital without worrying about your life. Isn't it beautiful?
Moreover, Cui's children still have the opportunity to be generals and prime ministers, and it is logical to send people to border towns as generals, it's a trivial matter.What is your hesitation now?

After reading it for a long time, Cui Shiqian put down Liu Yishou's personal letter.He looked at Cui Yaolan with emotion, sighed and said: "Having a son should be like Liu Yishou, I am really convinced by your brother today."
