No. 148 Hot Yang Pei
Lü Bu asked Chen Gong to arrange for his subordinates to attack and annex the state, and according to Lü Bu's wishes, Chen Gong left Lü Bu's inner relative, his general Wei Yue, in Anyi County to guard Hedong County, the current foundation of Lü Bu's army.
At the same time, Yang Pei also officially took over the government affairs of Anyi County.
It's just that the rest of Lu Bujun didn't expect that it didn't take long for Yang Pei and Wei Yue to have a very fierce conflict. Wei Yue was furious, so he personally led his troops to rush into the county government of Anyi County, and almost killed Yang Pei.
The cause of the incident was that a cronie of Wei Yue broke the law and was arrested by Yang Pei, who had just taken office, and was ready to be sentenced to death according to the law.
It turned out that Wei Yue was used to being arrogant under Lu Bu, in addition to Lu Bu, in Lu Bu's army, many times, even Chen Gong couldn't control him, what kind of master he had, what kind of dog he had, Wei Yue's cronies also became arrogant. And Yang Pei naively thought that since Lu Bu valued him so much, he did his best to govern Anyi County for Lu Bu.
The most common method used by most cool officials is to kill.
Killing is also the most deterrent punishment, and there is no one. Since Wei Yue's subordinates broke the law and bumped into Yang Pei's hands, he naturally planned to use this chicken to deter everyone in the county, the county, and even the entire Lu Bu army.
As a result, it was inevitable that there would be a huge conflict between the two.
There was no Lu Bu in the county seat of Anyi County, and Wei Yue and his men were naturally rampant in Anyi County, and Yang Pei immediately arrested them according to the orders of the Han Dynasty.
Of course, Yang Pei knew that Wei Yue was now in charge of the defense of Anyi County and the entire Hedong County, and he had captured so many of Wei Yue's men at once, so naturally it was impossible to kill them all, at most, he would use the leading birds among them to establish his authority. It's just that these subordinates of Wei Yue not only refused to admit their guilt to death, but also quarreled that his general was about to make Yang Pei look good.
Sure enough, after Wei Yue learned of this, he immediately led his own soldiers to rush into the county office, not only preparing to rescue all his people, but also planning to kill Yang Pei again by the way.
It also happened that Yang Pei's life should not be extinguished, it happened that at this time, Zhang Liao came back, after he learned of this situation, he stopped Wei Yue from committing a crime in time, although Yang Pei did not lose his life, but, obviously, because of Wei Yue's move, his plan to kill chickens and monkeys was completely bankrupt, not to mention that his prestige as a county order was also lost, not to mention that the wealthy families and people of Anyi County would not be convinced of him, and even the subordinate officials and servants in the yamen seemed to disobey his orders.
Zhang Liao was able to come back so quickly, naturally thanks to the fact that the battle in Shangdang County was going too smoothly.
As soon as his army arrived at the city and showed the seal of the new county warden of Shangdang County issued by the imperial court, the officials of the city immediately chose to surrender in Kaesong.
Chen Gong was worried that Hanoi County would be too guarded by Zhang Yang because of the battle of Bingzhou, so after learning that Zhang Liao easily captured Shangdang County, he ordered Zhang Liao to leave the deputy general and the 2,000 soldiers he had personally trained to defend the city, and Zhang Liao himself led the 1,000 soldiers who had fallen into the camp to return to Hedong County and monitor Zhang Yang's every move from the east.
Regarding the conflict between the two, Zhang Liaoming knew that Qu was on Wei Yue, and Yang Pei himself was not at fault, but he was also powerless about it.
In Lu Bu's army, although Zhang Liao is at the same level as Wei Yue, Lu Bu obviously still trusts Wei Yue the most, in this way, how can he be the master? Therefore, Zhang Liao made the wisest decision, first separated the two, let Wei Yue's subordinates go, put the matter on hold for the time being, and immediately sent a fast horse to report the matter to Lu Bu and Chen Gong as it was.
There was still a war ahead, Lu Bu and Chen Gong didn't expect that there would be such a chaotic and bad situation in the rear, after careful consideration, Lu Bu did not discuss with Chen Gong this time, and sent someone to immediately inform Zhang Liao, ordering him to immediately escort Yang Pei and his family to Hongnong County, and let Sima Yi return this person to Jin Jue as soon as possible.
It's not that Lu Bu doesn't attach importance to such talents, on the contrary, if the counties of Bingzhou were already in the hands of Lu Bujun at this time, he wouldn't just send Yang Pei away.
Yang Pei and Wei Yue can't pee together, so it's a big deal to separate the two of them.
However, at the moment when the generals of Lu Bu's army were attacking and annexing the counties of the state, in addition to this kind of thing, Lu Bu also had his own concerns. You must know that in Lu Bu's army, except for Chen Gong and the few people recommended by Jin Jue, Lu Bu's subordinates are all military generals. Lu Bu himself knew very well that these generals were naturally not used to the existence of a cool official by their side.
Rather than letting the generals deviate from morality for the sake of a cool official, it is better to return this person to Jin Jue as soon as possible.
Lu Bu was able to think clearly about the pros and cons, and Chen Gong naturally understood it better, but he did not discourage Lu Bu's decision. can only lament in his heart, when he colluded with Lu Bu to enter Yanzhou and rebelled against Cao Cao, he didn't expect Lu Bu to be so unbearable.
In the troubled times, in the last years of the Eastern Han Dynasty, almost all local powers were controlled by local families, to deal with this kind of person, Yang Pei is a weapon in the hands of a qualified monarch, if you want to win the hearts of the people, such a person is indispensable.
But in order to take care of the emotions of his generals, Lu Bu pushed this kind of talent outward, which shows that Jin Jue's kid desperately has to find a way to leave, not for nothing.
Fortunately, at the beginning, he and Lu Bu immediately made a decision to take Jin Jue's eldest brother back, and Lu Bu even married his eldest daughter to Jin Wei, which is equivalent to tying Lu Bujun and Jin Juejun together.
Now it seems that Jin Jue's Wudu County Taishou can't even compare to a county order in the Central Plains, but Chen Gong knows very well that this son is not a fish in the pond, and he can defeat the army sent by Zhang Lu under the condition of extreme disadvantage. Once he is given enough time and support, Zhang Lu will definitely be defeated by his men. According to Sima Yi's statement when he returned, the only shackle of the current Jin Jue army is food.
The situation of Luoyang County and Wudu County is similar, the terrain is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, but with such a terrain, the grain output is bound to be much worse than that of the counties in the Central Plains.
When Sima Yi saw Yang Pei again, in addition to feeling a little guilty about Yang Pei, his thoughts coincided with Chen Gong. If it weren't for the existence of Jin Jue's variable, he would have left Lu Bu's army and fled to Cao Cao.
As for the family members of the Sima family, with his eldest brother in Lu Bu's army, Lu Bu naturally would not kill their family because he fled.
At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, it was the norm for the children of the family to be scattered among the princes.
