"A gentleman should know what he is good at and what he is bad at." [Historical Records: Biography of the Lord and Father of the Marquis of Pingjin]
After the wealthy people of Hejian, Su Bo, Tian Yin and others, rebelled, several counties in Youji were almost incited by their momentum, and various places became uneasy. In response to this situation, Wang Xiu, the prefect of Hejian, responded immediately. Before receiving the order to mobilize troops, Under the circumstances, he first led a few people on horseback alone and broke into the home of a local strongman of the Yu family who was planning to respond to the rebellion. He personally beheaded several of the Yu family members and other brothers. The entire Yu family members and guests were shocked and horrified. No one dared to take any action.
Wang Xiu relied on his power to quickly pacify the rest of the people. Since then, the bandits in the surrounding counties have gradually ceased. However, the rebels such as Subo have gradually grown in power, and there is a faint tendency to join the Julu County rebels in Anping. Wang Xiu alone The county soldiers could not resist, but fortunately Zhang Liao, the general of Zhenbei in Youzhou, sent captain Jiang Xu to lead his troops south to relieve the siege.
"Zhang He was not sent to Hejian, which shows that General Zhenbei has concerns." When Chen Deng, the prefect of Bohai, heard the news, he was fiddling with the chips under the lamp while calculating how much grain and grass there was in the treasury. Enough to supply Hejian, while chatting with the people next to him: "Under General Zhenbei, the only one who is the best at fighting and has the highest general rank is Zhang He, right?"
"There are indeed not as many generals under General Zhenbei as there are under General Zhennan. However, this is because General Zhenbei is brave enough and has overshadowed the rest. It is not known yet." It is Nanpi Lingjia who is sitting down to sort out the documents. Kui: "There have been some strange noises in our county recently, so please pay more attention to them."
"The army is coming, and minor troubles in the county are nothing to worry about. What's more, now that the people are at peace, and the court is implementing benevolent policies, the only ones who really want to rebel are those powerful right-wingers. Chen and Wu don't move, how can there be any leader in the six countries?" Chen Deng saw clearly. He believed that these people were insignificant thieves and would not pose much threat to Hebei at all. The emperor had the support of the people and the military, and Chen Deng really couldn't think of any other dangers of overthrow, so this It also allowed him, and many smart people like him, to take the initiative to change and adapt to the changes of the times: "I ordered all counties and cities to guard the city without any loss, and the county soldiers, garrison troops and even salt households must guard the city in times of crisis." Return to the neighboring farmers for dispatch."
"Did General Zhenbei send more than just Jiang Xu this time?" Hearing the other party talk about a 'big army', Jia Kui couldn't help but wonder, Captain Jiang Xu only led two thousand elite troops, so how could he be considered a 'big army'? ' word, and according to the latest news, Subo and others have recruited tens of thousands of people, and together with the rebels from other counties, Jiang Xu may not be able to handle these two thousand people.
"Did I ever say they were reinforcements from Youzhou?" Chen Deng said funnyly: "Isn't there an army like Jie Fan in Henan?"
A few years ago, when the emperor regained Hebei and returned to garrison in Henan, he left three elite troops, namely Jieyou and Jiefan, to garrison in Luoyang. They not only guarded the Luoyang Forbidden City and the ancestral temple mausoleums, but also used them to guard Guandong. They are known to the world as These three elite troops selected from the Northern and Southern armies are called the "Eastern Army". Although they are small in number, they are full of elites. This time Sili and Jizhou are in turmoil, and the Hanoi County between them is also quite uneasy. In Hanoi County Without the intervention of the soldiers, Tai Shici, the governor of Jiefan, had already begun to cross the river according to the order and quickly entered Hanoi.
"However, Jizhou originally had county and state soldiers, and only one good general was enough to defeat thieves. Even if the situation was critical, there were many soldiers in the field who could be mobilized. When the court heard of this change, it left the prefecture and state soldiers unused, and directly mobilized the border troops to enter. This It's a bit..." Jia Kui stopped talking.
"They are just thieves, but they are more powerful. We can deal with them by mobilizing the troops of the three counties." Chen Deng said solemnly: "The imperial court is so cautious and serious, not just to get rid of these thieves."
Jia Kui realized a little bit that as a county magistrate, he could not talk too much about this kind of topic, so he consciously immersed himself in handling the official documents. But Chen Deng refused to let go of this conversation. He distractedly chatted with Jia Kui on the side. He asked about the family affairs: "Liang Dao, please forgive me for asking, what is your family background?"
This was indeed a very rude question, but looking at Chen Deng's clear eyes, Jia Kui couldn't get angry. He said without hesitation: "When I was a child, my family was poor and I often had no food and clothing, so that for a year In the winter, I didn't even have clothes to keep out the cold, so I ended up wearing his clothes when I stayed at my wife's brother Liu Fu's house. Fortunately, the country was reforming Imperial College at that time and recruiting students, so I gathered together Shu Xiu, and later The Lord must also know about this matter."
"I have seen all the poor people in the world, and there are few who are as talented as one step!" Chen Deng looked at him happily. In the early years, Bohai County was an important place that Yuan Shao worked hard to manage. After several wars, the people's livelihood in the territory declined, and various governance problems emerged one after another. It was not until Jia Kui came that Chen Deng's pressure was greatly relieved. Chen Deng was a very proud and practical man. If all his subordinates had such people as county magistrates, why worry about a county? If it is not cured? Let it go to the world, the same is true.
Jia Kui didn't understand what Chen Deng was thinking at this time. In his opinion, the other party was from a wealthy and powerful family in Xuzhou, so how could he understand the hardships faced by Hanshi. Nowadays, the chaos in Hebei was mostly fueled by powerful people. If the imperial court wanted to ban Wubao, it was because Killing them against the government and brutalizing the common people, without their hands, they will be fish on the sword from now on... Jia Kui could foresee this, couldn't Chen Yuanlong, a talented man from Huhai, not see it?
But if he saw it, why did he act like it had nothing to do with him?
After the Jizhou turmoil was caught off guard at the beginning, its momentum was quickly suppressed by the quick-response governor Wang Yi who ordered the troops of various counties to suppress it. Except for Hejian, Julu was in trouble because it was close to the center of the turmoil. Zhao Xiang Mifang was new to the country and was not able to go smoothly. In addition to controlling the situation, the prefects of other counties took action one after another, such as Qinghe Liu Ye, Anping Manchong, Zhongshan Tianchou, and Bohai Chen Deng. Some of them personally came forward to appease the soldiers and the people, and some personally went to battle to fight against the thieves. Under the actions of these guardians, , the situation immediately reversed.
After Taishi Ci led his troops to defeat the rebels in Hanoi, they entered Julu County to the north, and Jiang Xu, the captain of the school, also entered Hejian to the south, forcing Su Bo, Tian Yin and other thieves to a place near Daze from the south to the north. .
"The officials and people in the north are happy and hate chaos, and there are many good people. Subo, Tian Yin and other generations of dogs and sheep gather together. They have shallow intelligence and try to make big things out of small things. They will eventually be defeated. There is no need to worry about it." By the water bank, a man in a green gown. The young man was riding on horseback, looking up at the chaotic camp opposite, and said disdainfully: "This turmoil is not only caused by powerful people, but also supported by many powerful people, but it also involves the participation of common people."
The young man spoke with a Hanoi accent and said to Tai Shici next to him: "Hebei has gone through several wars. Although there are benevolent policies and good policies, the people's livelihood has not been restored, and Li Shu's life is still difficult. In the face of such a sudden change, even if he wants to stay in peace, he cannot. The general understands this The reason should be treated separately in the future, I am afraid this is also in line with the original intention of the country."
