In the night, even after hundreds of miles away, there are still people like everyone here in Cloud City, who still haven't slept at this moment.

Compared with Cloud City, which is on the front line, Shanyang County is the hub core of Mayi County's defense system.

Shanyang County is located in the Sanggan River Basin, which is the most abundant in Mayi County, and can continuously support the first line of Yunzhong City when entering, and connect with the counties of Hedong when retreating, and also leaning on the inner Great Wall behind it.

It can be said that if the city in the clouds is not protected, then the Great Sui is still only a police on the frontier, and if Shanyang is lost, the Turks will directly oppress in front of the inner Great Wall, and open the inner Great Wall, which is the heart of the Central Plains!

In the Northern Zhou Dynasty, the predecessor of the Great Sui, Shanyang County was the seat of the Shuozhou Governor's Office, and now it is the seat of the Great Sui Mayi County Office. After the fall of Yunzhong City due to the abandonment of the capital of the Northern Wei Dynasty, Shanyang still maintained the status of the center of a county, and its prosperity and wealth were far greater than that of Yunzhong City.

The radius of Yunzhong City is only three or four miles, and the radius of Shanyang County is more than seven miles, there are all kinds of businesses, and there are seven or eight thousand residents in the city. The fashionable things in Jinyang City will be transmitted here in less than two months.

Because the area around the Sanggan River is the richest place in Mayi County, and Shanyang County is also extremely rich in reserves, although after last year's war, Wang Rengong doubled down on the looting this year, and the grain and straw in the city have been accumulated for nearly two years.

After the large-scale requisition of Ding Zhuang of Mayi County into the Yingyang Mansion of Mayi, the troops under Wang Rengong had swelled to more than 10,000 people. Although it is not as elite as Heng'an Yingyang Mansion, which is facing the Turks, it is also a border county after all. Those who have also fought with the Turks and seen blood, can still be proud compared to the combat power of the inland military government.

In front of Yunzhong City, behind Shanyang County, there are heavy generals and elite soldiers in two places, which are enough to build Mayi County into a solid foundation, and the Turks dare not look at it directly. But now, the two most important pillars of Mayi County are facing each other, God knows when they will tear their faces and attack each other, and at that time, I am afraid that it will be the catastrophe of Mayi County, and the torrent of Turkic wolves will come overwhelmingly!

Is this kind of thing still rare? Thinking about the momentum of the Great Sui swallowing the sea when the emperor opened the emperor, it can only make people sigh.

It's all just a few decades of work, whose fault is it?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Tonight, in Shanyang City, there is a dead silence. It is more lively than the city in the clouds until the second watch, and Shanyang, as the county governor, is lifeless at night.

There is no other reason, the expansion of the Mayi army to the scale of 10,000 people, and the exploitation under the rule has reached an unprecedented level. Even the area around the Sanggan River, which is known as rich, is already exhausted and the people are depressed. As the seat of Mayi County, where is it still lively?

Wang Rengong, who was sixty years old at the time, stood on top of the small building in the garden of the Taishou Mansion, looking at the dark and gloomy surroundings, and became more and more disgusted with this place.

In the year of the sixtieth year, is it going to be the end of this despicable place? The chaos in the world is the critical time for the major families to shuffle and fight, and they are still working hard here for the Great Sui, if the family misses this great opportunity and falls down from the gate valve queue, it is the real big thing!

Wang Rengong touched his long gray hair, and sighed infinitely.

Born in Taiyuan Wang, one of the seventeen branches of the Taiyuan Wang, although he grew up in Tianshui County, but the county is still in Taiyuan County. Grandfathers were all assassins. At the age of twenty, he became the master of the family and became the master of the state. Then he was promoted all the way until he lived in eight and opened the mansion and built a festival.

This is the growth trajectory of the children of a typical gate valve family, and it is also these gate valve families that have supported the dynasties that have come and gone for hundreds of years, and the Great Sui that once swallowed the sea.

But from the beginning of the emperor's reign to the throne of the great cause of heaven. Two generations of kings, but they wanted to promote the children of Han Su and suppress these gate valve families, and finally provoked Yang Xuangan's rebellion when the emperor of heaven was conquering Goryeo.

Although Wang Rengong is still serving under the banner of the Emperor Emperor, he has children and nephews who have also joined Yang Xuangan's rebellious army. This is exactly the usual technique of the gate valve family to bet at both ends.

Yang Xuangan was finally defeated, and Wang Rengong was also implicated and resigned. However, this Yang Xuan's sense of chaos set off by the family gate valve also exhausted the vitality of the Great Sui.

The Son of Heaven was no longer the ambitious Son of Heaven at the beginning of his accession to the throne, he became tired and grotesque, and finally avoided Jiangdu, lost his ability to control the empire, and the family of gate lords was fully restored.

Li Yuan, the Duke of Tang Guo, who had always been on guard, stayed behind for Jinyang and took charge of the counties in Hedong. And Wang Rengong was also reinstated as the Taishou of Mayi County.

The Great Sui has lost its deer, and the world's high gate should be chased together.

In such a world, how can the Wang family not go further?

Ma Yi elite soldiers, strong in the world. If you can go south to the east of the river, take charge of this high-rise place in the world, collect the soldiers of the counties, go west to Chang'an, and connect the east of the river in one, it seems that you can also ask about it!

But Liu Wuzhou, who was born in a humble family, was in charge of Heng'an Yingyang Mansion, so that Wang Rengong could not compete with the Tang Guogong who was expected by the world to compete in Hedong.

Why don't you die? The family competes for the male, the people of the poor family, obediently go for the eagle dog, there will always be some benefits for you. What do you want to do with the partiality?

It was for this Liu Wuzhou that Wang Rengong was desperately expanding his troops, desperately accumulating grain, and was waiting for the right time to resolutely annex Liu Wuzhou's department. Then turn around and go south, trying to go further in this troubled world.

As for this internal strife, what will become of Mayi County, and whether the Turks will take advantage of the situation to go south. These are not in the consideration of Wang Rengong, who was once one of the world's famous generals, and these things are not worth mentioning compared to the survival of the family gate valve.

But how could Li Yuan let himself feel at ease to deal with Liu Wuzhou, and then turn south to drag him back?

Sooner or later, Li Yuan will have to intervene in Mayi County, maybe he has already intervened! After all, he is left behind in Jinyang and is in charge of the military affairs of the counties in Hedong, in this name!

Wang Rengong categorically decided that he couldn't wait any longer!

He stood on top of the small building on the railing and clapped his hands gently.

Hearing this order, the person who had been waiting downstairs walked up quickly.

The person who came was in his thirties, with a light robe and a slow belt, a square collar, and a very similar to Wang Rengong between his eyebrows and eyes. It was Wang Zhongzeng, the second son of Wang Rengong, who was the county master, and Wang Zhongyi, the eldest son of Wang Zhongyi, who was in charge of the military power for the Ying Yang Mansion of Mayi. is the most confidant who decides the affairs of the county with Wang Rengong.

At a time when the law of the world is collapsing, it has become the most common thing to put one's own children and nephews in charge of power. It turned out that the constraints of the Great Sui Imperial Court on these gate valves were gone.

Wang Zhong once stood respectfully beside his father, Wang Rengong did not look back, and asked in a low voice: "People in the clouds, have you sent back any news?" ”

Wang Zhong once shook his head: "Why do you want to be after the cloud autumn day gathering." ”

Wang Rengong's voice was lowered: "Is the Ministry of Execution reliable?" ”

Wang Zhong once smiled confidently: "With the promise in the clouds, why don't you do it?" In the last battle, the executive department lost, and he was already afraid of his father's prestige, so how could he not obey orders? ”

Wang Rengong was silent for a while, and said coldly: "The Ministry of Execution is always an outsider, and the key is to rely on ourselves!" After the autumn gathering in Cloudsdale, send people to it, and the tax revenue of the large collection will all go to the county government! If they don't listen, they will be cut off from food. In addition, tell your eldest brother, the army moves north, monitor those Liu Wuzhou, don't start a war easily, and wait for the Hengan soldiers to collapse from hunger, and then go and clean them up! ”

Wang Zhong respectfully accepted the order, turned around and went downstairs. My father has finally made up his mind to participate in this battle for the world! As a child of the family, he has really stayed enough in the county government here, and the stage that belongs to him will always be the heart of the empire like Luoyang, Chang'an!

Only Wang Rengong was still standing by the railing of the small building, whispering to himself: "Turks............ When the old man decides on the big thing, he will sweep them away when he turns around! ”
