Chapter 681: The Laughing Stock of the Princes and the White Tiger Wind

If the war situation in the southwest was chaotic because of the struggle between the imperial court, the Marquis of Shu, the Duke of Jin and the Suzaku Dynasty, the pattern in the northeast became chaotic because of the confrontation between the Ma family, the Marquis of Qi, the Sun family, the Marquis of Lu and Chai Shengnan. The political situation in the capital has become chaotic because of the tilting of the Second Prince's Party and the Eunuch Party. The southeastern princes are a kind of strange peace.

In fact, there is a force in the southeast that everyone in the world is punished by - the Dayu Dynasty.

Unlike ordinary princes, the leader of the Dayu Dynasty, Yulongjun, was officially crowned king. It stands to reason that it doesn't matter how much trouble a prince makes, but once he becomes king, he will definitely be punished by the whole world. Not only is there great righteousness in hand, but also the opportunity to carve up the territory and benefits. But in the face of the Dayu Dynasty, the princes hesitated, the people are not self-reliant, but the restoration of the previous dynasty, as the vassals of the Great Zhou Dynasty are naturally to crusade, but without the righteousness of the world, God knows if everyone will work together, maybe every prince does not want to consume the main force in the Dayu Dynasty.

It would be fine if the Dayu Dynasty was weak, but now he is obviously a difficult bone to gnaw. This has to be said that the three princes conquered the Jade Dragon Monarch back then, although the Jade Dragon King was established at that time, the national strength was weak, and there were only three county towns in the country, and 30,000 or 40,000 miscellaneous soldiers and horses. In the eyes of the third prince, it was almost a matter of being captured, and the army successfully defeated Yulongjun, Yulongjun abandoned the city and left, the three county towns were taken, and there were only more than 10,000 people left around Yulongjun.

The third prince was naturally ready to take advantage of the victory to pursue, but the army was ambushed in a canyon, and the enemy burned a lot of people to death with fire attacks, and when he retreated, the enemy dug a dam upstream, and the soldiers and horses were scattered by the river in an instant. Fleeing back to the city in disarray, he was stopped for a while under the city.

It turned out that Yulongjun saw that the three princes were powerful, so he took the initiative to abandon the city and leave, and left the arrangements before, and hid 3,000 soldiers in each of the three county towns, and made an appointment to attack together. When the army of the third prince was introduced into the encirclement, these soldiers pretended to be defeated and opened the city gate, and recovered the three county towns in the first time, and most of the baggage of the third prince was also in the city, and the so-called 200,000 heavenly soldiers of the third prince were also mostly surrendered, and they had no loyalty at all, and they surrendered one after another when they saw that the battle was decided.

After this battle, the Dayu Dynasty once became the largest force in the south, but the Jade Dragon Emperor understood that his existence would make the southern princes uneasy, and his territory was too small to support such an army, so it was better to start disarming while he was ready.

Subsequently, Yulongjun reduced a large number of troops, leaving only 80,000 of the nearly 200,000 troops in his hands. Many people don't understand that in such a world of great disputes, such a military force should be dismantled by itself?

Yulongjun understands but doesn't care about letting go of more than 100,000 people, the number of troops is several times his own, and it is useless to let himself surrender in a hurry, it is better to let the liberation army be productive and let them engage in construction in their own territory.

The southeast is very chaotic, not only the restored Dayu Dynasty, but also the salt bandit Bai Jingcheng, who has occupied the land of fish and rice in the southeast for many years. The tea tax and salt tax in several southeastern states have made tea farmers and salt people miserable, and the official salt price has repeatedly reached new highs, and many people who have been doing well have bid farewell to the days of having salt every day, while the vast number of poor people have not been able to eat?

Gao Fuhai, who is the same generation as him, and the Holy Maiden Sect are all finished, but he can survive in the southeast, not because he is strong or capable. Rather, it was because the princes of Wu, Chu, and Yue surrounded him and formed a tacit understanding with the Dayu Dynasty, which only limited the growth of the salt bandits but did not exterminate him. At the beginning, Marquis Wu Chen Shuming was promoted from a broken earl all the way to a prince, wasn't it because the imperial court had to rely on them, local nobles, to clamp down on the mud legs of the rebellion?

So the salt bandit siege network was formed, and they were completely controlled. And these salt people were also fighting for a bite to eat at first, who knew that after they succeeded, they burned and killed the bandits and robbers in the mountains, and it was the people who suffered. The land of fish and rice was beaten to pieces.

However, Bai Jingcheng and his gang made one of the biggest mistakes, arsonists robbed the bank. Originally, Gao Baohai also did this, but fortunately he was stopped by the poisonous Ji Ye Meidie, this kind of thing didn't see anything at first, but after a long time, I found out that there was something wrong with it, the ticket number network of the entire Great Zhou Dynasty was tested for a hundred years, although it was a silver ticket that was used throughout the country, but there were also regional secrets, and now the salt bandits robbed the money village cleanly, and the royal ticket number headquarters immediately announced that all the bills issued by Wu Di would be invalid. This shocked everyone, and the nobles and merchants around who had not yet been occupied by the salt bandits but had Wu land silver tickets in their hands were in a hurry. But fortunately, the invalidation is not immediate, and there is still half a month to buffer.

While exchanging gold and silver, these people hated the salt bandits completely, and the salt bandits who made a fortune after the robbery did not know that they had offended the entire Jiangdong Economic Circle, and they still lived a dream of making a fortune.

Slowly, the salt bandits also realized that something was wrong, they had a lot of gold and silver, but they were still very poor, food, clothing, weapons. They couldn't get it from the southeast where they couldn't toss it, and the surrounding forces had a tacit understanding of embargoing them. caused the whole salt bandit to be hungry with a golden bowl, and he couldn't spend the money at all.

Of course, the anger is only temporary, just teach them a lesson, no one will really get along with real money, the smuggling business is gradually rising, but the salt bandits have to buy at a very high price, and after the Wudi ticket number system is destroyed, the salt bandits want to buy smuggled goods, and they can only pull dozens of carts of gold and silver to exchange, and there is no one who is so aggrieved to make a fortune.

At this time, the salt bandits realized that no matter how much wealth they had, it was useless, and that the gold and silver that they could not spend were no different from stones.

Therefore, as the enemies of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the Dayu Dynasty and the salt bandits are very peaceful in normal times and do not want to cause trouble, but the one who has caused the most trouble in the south recently is Wei Guogong, who is known as the laughing stock of the princes.

The imperial court found the two strongest among the many princes, the north was the Marquis of Jin Chonghua, and the south was Wei Gong Wendu, who were promoted to the Duke of Jin and the Duke of Wei respectively. They are appointed as the chiefs of the princes, and they can exercise the power of reward and punishment on behalf of the king, and they can even attack other princes without being a minister.

That's a good thing to say, but in the north, even if there is the containment of the Demon Cloud Sea and the Vermilion Bird Dynasty, the Duke of Jin can still only have a relationship with half of the army in Shu, of course, as the former first prince. The strength of the Shu army is obvious to all, the Duke of Jin has been able to fight for a year without obvious defeat, and the national strength of Jin has not collapsed, and it is well deserved as the chief of the princes. In comparison, Wei Guogong in the south is very funny.

First of all, Duke Wei had just entered the feudal kingdom, and he wanted to do great things with high spirits, and there was nothing greater than attacking the restored Dayu Dynasty, so he asked the southern princes to attack the Dayu Dynasty as the chief of the princes, but no matter how he lobbied, but the other princes reacted lightly, just like a person making an impassioned speech on the stage, and the people in the audience looked at him with a caring eye.

Wei Guogong is also hard-tempered, you don't come to me yourself, and let the world see what is the chief of the princes, but the war started for more than three months, and the 120,000 guards were beaten by the 60,000 Dayu Dynasty troops.

Wei Guogong is very ashamed, it's okay, cheer up!

It just so happened that Chu and Yue next door were fighting again. The enmity between these two families arose when Lin Yue was a Beijing official.

In the past, Chu Hou Zhiyu Changtian's wife was known as the first beauty in the south, and his daughter Zhiyu was as bright and moving, and everyone who saw it was praised as the first beauty of the Great Zhou, just because the longer she grew, the more she looked like her mother, and somehow Chu Hou had the idea of marrying his own daughter, because of this matter, the uncle Yue Gong Wen Ping sent troops to attack Chu, and Chu Hou Zhiyu Changtian's family died except for Zhiyu.

The younger brother of the Marquis of Chu, Zhiyu Changkong, was ordered to be in danger, and before Chu was defeated and retreated, only the three county towns of Quanyang, Yongxi, and Lunan were left, and the soldiers and horses under his jurisdiction were only 20,000 or 30,000 people, far from being the opponent of the 80,000 army of Yuedi. But Weaving Changkong is not a villain, and there are fierce generals like Weaving Changfeng by his side. After the betrayal of the Song army, the poisonous Ji Ye Meidie defected with 3,000 soldiers and horses, the morale of Chu was greatly boosted, and the text had Ye Meidie and Wu Youzhiyu Changfeng, after fighting again and again, Chu Hou recovered the lost territory and counterattacked Yuedi.

Now that the feng shui is turning, the Duke of Yue is about to be destroyed by the Marquis of Chu, at this time, the chief of the princes, Wei Guogong, feels that he has to play a role, after all, he and the Duke of Yue are both dukes, and the Marquis of Chu is the marquis, so he wants to mediate between the two sides, on the one hand, buy a good Yue, and on the other hand, strike at the aggressive Chu.

Of course Chu Hou is not happy, I have been fighting for several years, and now that I am about to win, who are you going to jump out and settle the matter? So Wei Guogong sent 80,000 troops to teach Chu Hou a lesson, and Chu Hou sent his first fierce general and his younger brother Zhiyu Changfeng to lead an army of 30,000 to meet the attack, but the Wei army was beaten again, and one of them was not a human being.

Wei Guogong is very ashamed, it's okay, cheer up!!

It just so happened that not long after the defeat, because of the wheat harvest at the border, Wei Di and Zheng Di next to him had a quarrel.

Wei Guogong was interested, Zheng Hou he knew, this Zheng Hou Cao Xin's declining noble, before his career, was just a small tolerance, and he was with a group of pranksters all day long. After the world was in turmoil, thieves were everywhere, Cao Xin also took advantage of the situation to become a county garrison, and slowly to the current princes, the background and strength are far behind. So for the sake of the reputation of the chief of the princes, it is good to just crush the past.

So Wei Guogong gathered another 60,000 troops to attack Zheng Hou, not to mention, Zheng Hou's strength is really not enough, the whole net worth is only 60,000 soldiers and horses, in addition to defending all over the country, only less than 40,000 people can be used to meet the enemy, although Wei Guogong lost two battles before and after, but he is still a big prince, although Zheng Hou is in charge of this matter, but in the face of the menacing 60,000 Wei army, Zheng Hou is also very hesitant.

At this time, Mrs. Zheng Hou's wife Lieji spoke, if you can't get justice for the people under your rule, who will be willing to die for you in the future?

Lie Ji Chu Yunxiu is Zheng Hou Cao Xin's main wife, before Zheng Hou did not make a fortune, Chu Yunxiu is the local lady, in the early years to see Cao Xin's extraordinary love for him, despite the opposition of the family to marry, for this almost cut off contact with the family, she also put on rough clothes to marry Cao Xin, in the thatched hut is twelve years, everyone feels that she has missed her life, she is still sincerely serve her in-laws, treat the father-in-law well. It can be said that there are all women in the entire Zhenghou military and political system, and they have a brave temperament, leaving the story of 'Lie Ji beating the drum', and defending the city to help the husband fight.

Mrs. Lieji is reasonable, the border people are clear about this matter, if Zheng Hou is soft, he will lose the support of the people, and if he resists the guards, he will definitely make Zheng Hou's rule the same enemy. Back then, hundreds of people fought against tens of thousands of bandits and such crazy things were done, but now it's only 40,000 against 60,000, and it's not that they can't win, so what are you afraid of?

Zheng Hou Cao Xin is also a self-made person who immediately fights the world, as long as the mentality arrives, he can transform into a berserker in a second and beat him!

As a result, the Zheng army, which was united in its heart, won the battle with almost no effort in the face of the guards who were showing off their might!

Wei Guogong is very embarrassed, it's okay, cheer up!!

After several wars, Wei Guogong was very hit, and what was even more hit was that one of his sons died, and was killed by a group of thieves named Baihu Fengcong in his own territory, Wei Guogong was furious, and even a small thief dared to provoke him, and immediately sent 20,000 soldiers and horses to suppress the thieves.

Dayu Dynasty, Chu Di, Zheng Di, from the enemy country to the big princes and then to the small princes, the long time of being a prince is not long, Wei Guogong has played three games in a row, and the game has failed miserably, if he can't even clean up a group of bandits in his own territory, then he is not the chief of the princes, but the laughing stock of the princes.

A few days later, the news came, and Wei Guogong was still very embarrassed......
