Emperor Yang Guang of the Great Sui Dynasty personally conquered Goguryeo, and three times he came from the three counties of Liaodong, Yan and Liucheng. However, the three counties of eastern Liaodong are sparsely populated and the weather is cold, and the rice and grain produced locally cannot support the daily needs of more than 30,000 people. Therefore, the supply of a million troops was all raised by the Central Plains. It was first sent to Jixian County by the North Canal, and then transferred to the front by Jixian No. 6 Road. If there is a rebellion in the army, as long as Luo Yi and Yang Yichen lead the troops to block the two passes of Linyu and Lulong, the million rebels who are alone in Liaodong will collapse in less than half a month because they can't get food. If one of Luo Yi and Yang Yichen had the intention of rebellion, as long as the other person put the army of Zhengliao in, he could drown the rebels alive with just one mouthful of foam.

Obviously, the reason why Yang Guang ordered Yang Yichen and Luo Yi to lead the troops to Beiping was to take precautions in advance. As for which one he wants to guard against, maybe it is Yu Wenshu, the actual commander of the expeditionary army, maybe it is Luo Yi, the general of Huben, or maybe it is Yang Yichen, the servant of the imperial servant. Maybe at this moment, His Majesty the Emperor didn't trust anyone, so he simply gave an order to add insult to the snake, hoping that Luo Yi, Yang Yichen, and Yuwenshu would contain each other and be jealous of each other.

"How can the servant be a rebel! His Majesty's move, alas, ...... "Thinking about the mystery of the court's order, Wuyang County Shouyuan Treasure couldn't help but shake his head again and again. Yang Yichen's exploits in suppressing bandits in Hebei are obvious to all, and although he has not been able to convince any of the most famous bandits, such as Gao Shida, Dou Jiande, and Zhang Jincheng, in the past six months or so since the "order to persuade peasants" was issued, the banditry situation in various localities has been greatly reduced. As for the thieves who were killed by the minions themselves or cleaned up by local officials, there are countless thieves.

At present, Gao Shida and Dou Jiande are cowering in Douzigang, and they don't dare to leave for half a step. The most arrogant bandit Zhang Jin said that he was hiding in Julu Ze, and only dared to send two little minions, Cheng Mingzhen and Wang Weiqiang, to come out and test them repeatedly. This situation will continue for a few more months, and the bandits will have exhausted the grain and grass they had hoarded last year, and I am afraid that they will have to come out of the swamp and fight Yang Yichen to the death.

At this juncture, the imperial court ordered Yang Yichen to be transferred to Beiping County, which undoubtedly did the bandits a great favor. After the news spread, the autumn grain from the nearby counties near Douzigang and Juluze must have fallen into the hands of bandits. But Yuan Bao can't say that His Majesty the Emperor's decision-making was wrong, after all, last summer was about this time, and His Majesty's trusted Duke of Chu Yang Xuangan had just made a rebellion. If it weren't for Li Xu and Yu Wenshu's timely counterattack, the million-dollar Liao army and Yang Guang himself might have starved to death on the east bank of the Liao River last summer.

"It's actually a good thing that Your Majesty can feel that there are giant beetles in the country. As long as he takes out half of his previous skills, who are his opponents among those city fox society rats in the court? First put an end to the outside world, and then rectified the order of the government and the opposition, and issued an order to inform the people. When the politics of the DPRK and China are clear, the lives of the common people will naturally be able to get by. As long as life is barely passable, who is willing to rebel? "For the stormy Great Sui Imperial Court, Wei Zheng's view is obviously more optimistic than that of Yuan Bao." Without the people to rebel, the bandits became fish without water. No matter how lively it is now, it won't be long before it will be dry in the ditch. When the time comes, you and I will send some people out with baskets, won't we catch them as much as we want? ”

"Xuancheng, the affairs of the court are not as simple as you imagined!" Yuan Baobao was amused by Wei Zheng's words, and he grinned, calling the other party's words and smiling bitterly. The main bookkeeper, Wei Zheng, was invited by him with the spirit of three visits to the thatched house. Regardless of knowledge, knowledge, character, and bearing, it is the best choice. But after all, this person has not experienced the officialdom of the Great Sui, and he does not understand that the illness of the Great Sui today is a chronic disease that could not be cured several dynasties ago. The imperial court is based on the family, but in the eyes of the family, there is only their family and no country. What was the reason for the decline of the Great Zhou back then, and now the Great Sui is essentially the same for the decline. It's just that the end of the Great Zhou was replaced by the Yang family, a relative, and the end of the Great Sui is because the rats of the City Fox Society will be hollowed out at all, and no one will be able to return to the sky.

"The difficulties of the court, of course, are beyond the imagination of me, a mortal, but Your Majesty is not an ordinary person!" Wei Zheng also smiled, and the pu fan shook gently, setting off a cool breeze. "I've read Your Majesty's articles, as well as Your Majesty's methods when you conquered the Turks and went down to Nanchen, I don't dare to say that it is unprecedentedly subtle, at least in two hundred years, a rare wise and wise monarch!"

"Your Majesty's bravery and wisdom are, of course, unmatched!" Yuan Baobao couldn't refute Wei Zheng's words, so he took a sentence abruptly, and then looked out the window. It had been cloudy for many days, and the night outside was as black as ink, with occasional flashes of light, not hope, but a harbinger of an impending storm.

His Majesty Yang Guang, Emperor of the Great Sui, before he ascended the throne, was indeed as wise and martial as Wei Zheng praised. At the age of fourteen, this man led the army to fight against the Turks, so that the Saiwai Zhuhu did not dare to go south for nearly ten years and herded horses. At the age of nineteen, he waved his army to conquer Nan Chen, which had been divided for nearly 200 years, and Kyushu was recast into one. This person opened a cultural museum, courtesy Confucianism, and made Chang'an and Luoyang all the wind, and the culture was revived. This person is eclectic and selects good generals, so that people from humble backgrounds like Luo Yi and Mai Tiezhu can also be ranked with the children of the family, and the handsome men under his command are gathered. It can be said that Yang Guang fifteen years ago made most of the talents in the world, including the children of the family and the talents of the poor family, admired so much. Therefore, he could easily replace his brother Yang Yong as the crown prince, and then take over the Great Sui Jiangshan from the hands of the first emperor.

But those were all fifteen-year-old Yang Guang. After ascending the throne, Yang Guang seemed to have changed in a short time. For the sake of a small grudge, he could not hesitate to kill a pillar minister like Gao Ying. In order to show off the wealth of the Great Sui, he could allow the surrounding Zhuhu to wander in the Central Plains without consideration, and eat and live for nothing along the way. When you leave, you can take away a large number of gifts that you can't grab with a knife. For the sake of fame, he could raise an army to conquer Goguryeo without making any preparations. And after failing again and again, he didn't know how to sum up the lessons, and blindly blamed the courtiers for their lack of plans.

If it weren't for the courtesy of the monarch and the ministers, Yuan Baobao would like to urge the imperial doctors in the court to carefully check for Yang Guang to see if His Majesty the Emperor has been fascinated by phlegm, resulting in a great loss of nature. (Note 1) Only a madman would take advantage of the society to gamble with others, and only a madman would sacrifice the interests of his subjects to win a few words of praise from outsiders. Only crazy people will toss as much as they want, regardless of the people's ability to bear it.

Seeing that Yuan Baobao's face changed in an instant under the light and lightning, the main bookkeeper Wei Zheng secretly hesitated in his heart. The main purpose of his remarks today was to urge Yuan Baobao to come forward and write a letter to His Majesty the Emperor who had returned from the expedition, in the name of congratulating the great victory in Liaodong, and to remind His Majesty the Emperor to pay attention to the hidden crisis within the Great Sui. According to Wei Zheng's own opinion, whether the big families are bullying others, or the bandits are rampant and lawless, the roots are all within the court. As long as the court can make up its mind to get to the root of the problem, all the chaos will be solved. And the Yuan Treasure that urges His Majesty the Emperor to cheer up and reorganize the order of the Great Sui will surely go down in history as a famous minister of Zhongxing. As a confidant who gives advice to Yuan Baobao, he can also realize his lifelong dream of governing the country and the world. (Please subscribe to support genuine)

But judging from Yuan Baobao's face, it was obvious that Wei Zheng's words did not move him. Or maybe it didn't resonate with him. Unwilling to let his suggestion be easily rejected like this, Wei Zheng hesitated for a moment, and then said with a smile: "Your Majesty is actually quite assertive. Last year, Yuwen's father and son used power to squeeze out General Li Lang, and finally went to His Majesty, wasn't it also dealt with impartially by His Majesty? In my opinion, Your Majesty is just being deceived by others, as long as there are loyal ministers who are willing to speak out, they may not be able to regain their spirits! ”

The example cited by Wei Zheng is very clear. Last year, there was a general named Li Xu who made great contributions in quelling Yang Xuangan's rebellion. However, in order to fight for military power for his son, the important minister Yuwenshu insisted on giving General Li Lang a charge of "arrogance and contempt for his superiors", dismissed him from the title, supported his son Yuwenshi and replaced his position. Things are in an uproar, and the government and the opposition are looking sideways. In the end, Yang Guang didn't know where to get the news, he was furious, and issued an order to reprimand Yuwenshu, and Li Lang, who had been relegated to his home and had no foundation behind him, would be reactivated, added to the official and sent to Henan to assist Zhang Xutuo in suppressing bandits.

Wei Zheng was also born in a poor family, and the example of Lang General Li Xu being reused by His Majesty the Emperor undoubtedly made him see the hope of changing his background and making contributions. But for Yuan Bao, there was a conflict between Li Xu and Yuwenshu, and the fact that His Majesty the Emperor suppressed the powerful minister Yuwenshu and supported Li Xu was just another typical example of His Majesty the Emperor acting as he pleases and does not consider carefully. If Yang Guang had dealt with the same thing fifteen years ago, whether it was biased towards the Yuwen family or supporting rookies, he would have done it more cleanly. If you want to support it, you will support it to the end, just like when you treated Luo Yi and Mai Tiecane. If you want to suppress it, you will suppress it to the end, just like the sworn friend who dealt with the prince Yang Yong back then. It should not be as anticlimactic as now, neither has the courage to strike at the arrogance of the Yuwen family, nor does it allow Li Xu to grasp too much power, and then become his right-hand man.

Thinking of this, Yuan Baobao smiled dumbly. "Your Majesty's treatment of General Xiao Li is unmatched in the world. But there are a few people in the world who have the good luck of General Xiao Li. Hyun Sung, I know what you want me to do! But I'm just a county guard, and I'm a soft-spoken person. Besides, I'm still in trouble with a ****, how can I be qualified to accuse others? If you have the strength, you should help me find a way to get past the current level first! ”

"This level in front of you?" The topic changed too quickly, making Wei Zheng a little unable to keep up with the master's train of thought. But soon, he realized that his hard work had been in vain. Yuan Baobao is not a person who has the courage to take responsibility at all. This generation only cares about the three feet of snow in front of their house, and would rather turn a blind eye to the dark clouds and lightning rolling in the sky!

"When the old man was young, he was like you, thinking that everything in the world could not be done!" Yuan Baobao could guess the disappointment in Wei Zheng's heart, sighed again, and explained faintly, "But the old man has been up and down for many years, and in the end he is just a county guard." And this county guard may not be able to do it for a long time, Yang Gongyichen led the troops away, and the thieves were arrogant and victorious. Once a few more county towns are lost, I'm afraid that the old man will have to go to the county guard of that week as a companion, how can he dare to meddle with other things? ”

"At this level, it's actually not too sad!" Seeing that Yuan Baobao's face was full of decadence, Wei Zheng had no choice but to stop reluctantly. Regarding how to deal with Cheng Mingzhen and Wang Weiqiang, and even Zhang Jin behind the two, he said that he had already thought of a complete plan. It's just that with the courage and bearing of Yuan Treasure, I'm afraid that this plan is in vain. Even those who give His Majesty the Emperor a book and do what his courtiers should do are afraid of the tail, and even more expect him to have the courage to do things and do what others do not do.

"Xuancheng has a clever plan, just say it!" Yuan Baobao only heard Wei Zheng say that there was a way to deal with the harassment of the bandits in front of him, but he didn't see Wei Zheng's face at all, and his spirit immediately shook tenfold. (Please subscribe to support genuine)

Wei Zheng sighed secretly in his heart, but he still had a smile on his face. Shaking the pu fan, fanning the wind a few times, he replied very confidently: "I have prepared three strategies for Dong Weng here: upper, middle and lower. Wangdong Weng did what he could! Any one of these strategies can ensure the safety of Wuyang County, and even make Zhang Thief look at the banner of Wuyang County in the future! ”

Hearing Wei Zheng say so confidently, Yuan Baobao's mood immediately improved, and he slapped his hand a few times and praised loudly, "I knew that Xuancheng must have a good strategy to teach me." A few rural villagers made trouble, how could they escape Xuancheng's calculations? Hurry up and tell the old man first, what is your best policy? ”

"It's a bit difficult to implement the best policy!" Wei Zheng smiled, and said: "Right now, Yang Gong is ordered to lead the army north, and it is definitely not my Wuyang County that feels the threat of bandits again. Dong Weng can repair the book to the county guards of Qinghe, Wu'an, Wei County, and Xiangguo, and the county soldiers of the five places of my country, and hand them over to the unified command of Yiliang General, taking advantage of the unpreparedness of the thief army, and go straight to Juluze. Plough the court sweep**, never suffer in the future! ”

He spoke passionately, but Yuan Bao only heard half of it, and put away the smile on his face. Finally endured until Wei Zheng finished speaking, shook his head, and said in a muffled voice: "It is a taboo for the imperial court to connect local county guards in tandem with each other. Besides, you have to gather tens of thousands of soldiers and horses to attack across the border? Xuancheng, this letter can't be written by the old man, and he doesn't dare to write it. Even if the old man wrote it, the other four counties didn't have the courage to respond! ”
