Shanyang County is the county seat of Mayi County. Currently, the prefect of Mayi County is Wang Rengong. He has a very good relationship with Yang Yichen. After Yang Yichen was suspicious and deprived of military power, Wang Rengong was also implicated and was also
He seized military power and demoted to the prefect of Mayi County.&&
Mayi County is a major county in the northern border. There are many merchants going to the Turks to trade, and there are endless merchants on official roads. At noon that day, as usual, the gates of Shanyang County were wide open, and soldiers patrolled the city walls on the top of the city.
The city patrol captain who was on duty today was Liu Wuzhou. He was a local tyrant in Mayi County. He was in his early thirties, strong in his body and martial arts skills. He participated in the battles of Goryeo and became promoted to the lieutenant.
"Person Liu!"
A brigade coach on the top of the city called him, ran down, and ran to his horse to say, "I may not be able to pay you back the money for a while, can I beg you how many ris?"
"Have your father's illness not cured yet?" Liu Wuzhou asked with concern.
The coach shook his head and sighed, "I haven't had a chance for a while. The famous doctor from Taiyuan County prescribed a prescription for him to take care of him carefully."
Liu Wuzhou took out more than twenty yuan from the horse bag and stuffed it to him, "Buy some tonics for his father and let him take good care of it."
"No! No!"
How could the coach ask for his money again? He quickly pushed him away, "I haven't paid you back a hundred yuan in the next time, how could I ask for your money again? I can't ask for it."
"Hold it!"
Liu Wuzhou's face sank and he forced the money to him, "This is not a loan to you, this is my little intention of respecting your father, I don't want you to pay it back."
The brigade coach was grateful and nodded. "Thank you, the captain!"
Liu Wuzhou patted him on the shoulder and smiled, "Your brother, don't be polite."
He rode out of the city gate and turned around and shouted to the soldiers on the city, "Brothers, be careful, don't be infiltrated by Turkic spies!"
At this moment, a soldier on the top of the city shouted: "Capital Captain, a group of merchants rushed from afar. He was very panicked."
Liu Wuzhou was surprised. The thug curtain looked north, and for a moment, he saw a group of merchants rushing towards the crowd, driving mules and horses. When the merchant approached, he recognized that it was a group of merchants who had gone north by Wucai, why did he come back again?
Now?
He urged the horse to shout, "Hey! What's wrong?"
"Person Liu, an army is coming, ten thousand people!"
Liu Wuzhou was shocked and asked quickly: "Is the Turkic people here?"
"No, it seems to be the Sui army."
Liu Wuzhou was stunned. There were no Ten Thousand Sui troops in the north. But after a second thought, he realized that it was Yang Yuanqing's army? He also knew that Yang Yuanqing had expanded eastward to Yulin and was very close to Mayi County.&&It must be his.
The army headed south.
Liu Wuzhou was anxious and urged his horse to run into the city, shouting: "The city gate is closed, no one is allowed to enter or exit."
He rode his horse and ran all the way to the prefect's mansion. It was noon. The prefect Wang was eating at home. He ran to the gate of the mansion, rolled over and got off the horse, and ran towards the steps. A young and beautiful young woman walked out of the mansion.
Liu Wuzhou was not in a position to catch up and suddenly knocked her to the ground.
"oops!"
The young woman shouted in pain. She hated her eyebrows and was about to curse her, but she saw that it was Liu Wuzhou. Her anger disappeared and her eyebrows were frowned, "Liu Captain Liu, why are you so reckless? Are you going to kill me?
?”
Liu Wuzhou knew this young woman, named A Tuan, the daughter of Jia Luozheng, a great merchant in Mayi County. She is a famous beauty in Shanyang County. She is only seventeen years old this year and married Wang Rengong as her concubine at the beginning of the year.
Liu Wuzhou was so scared that he apologized, "I am reckless and ambushed my wife. Please forgive me!"
A Tuan bit his lips lightly and gave him a blank look, "I'll say for no reason, please help me up first!"
Liu Wuzhou is also an extremely romantic and brave person. Seeing A Tuan like this, he understood a little in his heart, but in front of the prefect's palace, he did not dare to go too far, so he squatted down and handed her shoulders to her. A Tuan Mei
His eyes were as silk as silk, and his slender fingers stretched out, put them on his shoulders, and slowly stood up.
At this time, the housekeeper walked out of the mansion, and A Tuan let go of Liu Wuzhou's shoulders, and his pretty face immediately became cold, "Person Liu, is there anything you have to do with my master?"
Liu Wuzhou quickly bowed, but said to the housekeeper: "If there is an urgent military situation, we must report it to the prefect."
The housekeeper looked embarrassed and said, "The prefect has not woken up from drunkenness, so I am afraid he can't wake him up."
Wang Rengong was addicted to alcohol and was in a bad mood. He spent most of the day drunk and threw official duties to the county magistrate. He never asked about it, and almost everyone in Mayi County knew about it.
Liu Wuzhou said anxiously: "It is of great importance, no matter what, we must wake up the prefect."
A Tuan next to him said, "General Liu, go first! I have a way to wake him up."
Liu Wuzhou quickly saluted, thank you, Madam, he didn't dare to look at A Tuan, turned around and ran down the steps and turned over, heading towards the city gate. A Tuan looked at his burly and tall back and walked away, and couldn't help but sigh, she
He admired Liu Wuzhou as a child, but her father married her to an alcoholic.
A Tuan turned around and said angrily to the butler: "Go to the well and get two buckets of water!"
...........
The soldiers guarding the city were nervous, and Liu Wuzhou also felt a cold sweat from both hands. He saw a black Sui cavalry outside the city, with a large number of thousands of people. The cavalry was waving flags and a red eagle.
The flag fluttered in the wind, and this was indeed the Fengzhou cavalry.
The general in charge was Sima Li Jing. He urged the horse to whisper to the top of the city: "We are using the way to suppress bandits, and there is no other intention!"
At this time, the prefect Wang Rengong was supported by several soldiers and staggered. His head and body were stained with water, but he couldn't take care of it at this time. The Fengzhou army actually rushed into Mayi County. It's not bad.
He held the female wall and looked down. After looking for a while, he shouted, "Are you Li Jing?"
Li Jing knew Wang Rengong, and he quickly bowed and replied: "Let me see General Wang!"
Wang Rengong was not fully awake yet and could not react for a moment. Liu Wuzhou next to him tactfully reminded him, "Eunuch, it's strange, what are the Fengzhou troops coming to Mayi County to do?"
"oh!"
Wang Rengong woke up and shouted again: "Why are you not waiting in Fengzhou to guard the border, why are you going to Mayi County to do? What about Yang Yuanqing? Let him come to see me!"
Li Jing smiled slightly and said loudly: "We are cross-border bandit suppression, and we went to Loufan County to wipe out the rioter Wei Daoer. When we passed by Mayi County, General Manager Yang had led another army to Yanmen County, and it was not here."
Wang Rengong was stunned. Liu Wuzhou reminded him again. "Encourt. Cross-border bandit suppression requires approval from the Ministry of War!"
Wang Rengong then asked again: "Is there a Ministry of War approval?"
"I have applied to the Ministry of War, and the approval has not yet been completed, but the matter is urgent and will be outside. I will not accept the orders of the emperor. I hope General Wang will understand!"
Li Jing didn't say much to him, and pulled his horse back to the team, waved his hand, "Stay going forward!"
Ten thousand cavalry did not enter Shanyang County. Continue to march south and head towards Fanlou County.
Wang Rengong was stunned. What was the Fengzhou army doing? Liu Wuzhou said anxiously: "I have some idea about the envoy.
"You said!" Wang Rengong praised his several reminders.
Liu Wuzhou said: "Bizhi believes that this is Yang Yuanqing's expansion of power again. He must include Dingxiang County, Yanmen County, Mayi County and Fanlou County in his sphere of influence, and then he either attacks Youzhou or Taiyuan.
, It must be like this, the envoy must report to the court immediately."
Wang Rengong nodded. Liu Wuzhou said it very well. From Yang Yuanqing's expansion pace, it should be like this. He immediately shouted: "Don't open the city gate, I want to report to the saint!"
Wang Rengong turned around and went down the city. After walking a few steps, he turned back to Liu Wuzhou and said, "From today, you will be my personal lieutenant. In the future, I will promote you to General Yingyanglang!"
Liu Wuzhou immediately knelt down on one knee, "I wish to serve the envoy!"
...........
The capital in June was a bit bloody. Just a few days ago, Duke Hui, Guanglu Dafu, General Li Hun and General of the Right Guard were appointed as supervisory orders. Li Min, a Guanglu Dafu, was suspected of participating in the Yuan family's rebellion.
And thirty-two people were killed by Yang Guang's orders, and the rest of the clans were exiled to Lingnan.
For a moment, the capital was shocked. Although Yang Guang's reason for killing them was to participate in the Yuan family's rebellion, the people in the capital still couldn't help but think of the prophecy, "There are the world, the Yang family will be destroyed, and the Li family will be prosperous."
At this moment, another prophecy spread in the capital, "Li Feili, Yang Feiyang, went out of Jingxiang to guard the border, and the Sui clan destroyed him as a general."
Li Hun and Li Min's execution and the spread of prophecies made the capital panic. Everyone was speculating about who would be the next person to be killed?
I don't know who leaked the secret. The mother of Fengzhou Chief Manager Yang Yuanqing was named Li. When he was young, he once called Li Yuanqing, but later changed his name to Yang Yuanqing. This secret quickly spread throughout the city, and almost everyone thought of the prophecy.
The 'Li Feili, Yang Feiyang', is it that the Yang family destroyed and the Li family rose, which refers to Yang Yuanqing?
.....
Yuwen Shu was walking in a hurry and walked along a corridor. These days he was racking his brains to relieve Li Yuan of his crime. Li Yuan sent his cousin Li Shentong to find him again and promised him to hang 200,000 yuan. For the 200,000 yuan hang, Yuwen Shu did not hesitate to
Lead the prophecy to Yang Yuanqing.
At this time, Yuwen Shu was extremely proud. At this critical moment when the new prophecy had just been circulated, news came from the north that Yang Yuanqing had actually expanded his power south again. This was simply God's fulfillment of Yuwen Shu.
Yuwen Shu came to the imperial room and happened to meet Fan Zigai. He was also urgently summoned by Yang Guang to discuss military affairs.
"I heard that Fan Xiangguo was sick two days ago. Can he be in better health?" Yuwen Shu asked with concern.
"Thank you General Yuwen for your concern, it's already done."
Fan Zigai smiled, "General Yuwen is also here to hold a meeting under the order!"
"Hey! People are insatiable. Yang Yuanqing took advantage of the Shengzhao Goryeo to annex Yulin County. Now he is going south to Mayi County and Yanmen County. What exactly does he want to do?"
Yuwen Shu was full of anger and said, "Since he admitted that he was a Sui minister, why did he do something unjust?"
Fan Zigai has a deep understanding of Yuwen Shu. This person cannot get up early without profit. He does everything based on his own interests, including his attack on Yang Yuanqing, which is also for himself, not for the country. Fan
The son smiled but said nothing.
When the two walked to the imperial room, the eunuch immediately reported, "Report to Your Majesty, Prime Minister Fan, General Yuwen is here."
"Announce them to meet!" Yang Guang's tone was full of resentment.
