Chapter 451: Pei Xingyan
Today's update is late.,I'm really sorry.,Because the child cried all night last night.,I didn't sleep until six o'clock.,I'm sorry.,But today it's still at least five watches!
Yang Guang summoned Su Wei, Pei Yun, Pei Shiju, Yu Shiji, Yu Wenshu and other discussions.
"Luo Cheng Zhuojie, said that he entered Hebei, recovered the plain county town that was captured by bandits, beheaded more than 5,000 thieves, captured more than 30,000 prisoners, and swept the thieves in Douzigang, capturing more than 130,000. I was surprised, I didn't hear that the thieves had developed so far, and the thieves had developed so fast? Now you can break through such a canal city as the plain county? ”
Yu Shiji, the servant of the internal history, is usually responsible for presenting the report for the emperor, and he always has to cover up the report on the situation of bandits in various places, and often puts away some of the more serious reports and does not submit them, and only presents some reports that are not serious, or the good news of the extermination of bandits.
Hearing the emperor ask, he said, "Bandits have always been just bandits, and they have become climatic, and there are officials from all over the country who will pursue and suppress them with all their might, and they will soon be completely eliminated." Your Majesty need not worry! ”
But Yang Guang is not so easy to fool, if it is an ordinary person who plays a report, he may have to be suspicious, but Luo Cheng is his most trusted general after all, and Luo Cheng has the power to play directly, so his recital can be directly presented to him without going through Yu Shiji.
"Ke Luo Cheng reported that 200,000 bandits captured Pingyuan County in only three days, and there were even no less than 300,000 bandits gathered in Douzigang, and there were no less than 100,000 thieves in Gaojibo. In this world, why are there so many bandits all of a sudden? Also, Luo Cheng killed nearly 10,000 bandits in two battles and captured more than 100,000 prisoners, I was shocked, how could there be so many bandits in such a big city as Pingyuan County? ”
Yu Wenshu over there immediately said, "The minister thinks that Luo Cheng must have falsely reported his achievements." Where are there so many bandits in the world? In the land of Pingyuan County, there are only eight counties, and the total population is less than 100,000 households, where are these 500,000 bandits? He also killed eight puppet kings and thirteen puppet princes, why did these puppet kings and puppet princes never hear from the local authorities report before? ”
"Again, if the minister's memory is not bad, Luo Cheng is the general of the right Xiaowei, and he is the ambassador of Henan to comfort and arrest, or the Taishou of Donglai County. But whether it is to comfort the ambassador or Donglai Taishou, he should serve in Henan, how did he go to Hebei to suppress bandits, and he Luo Cheng led his troops into Hebei, but he has reported to the imperial court, and has he been allowed to do so? ”
Yu Shiji also said, "Your Majesty, Yang Xuangan, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, reported that Luo Cheng was proud of his achievements, killed people and exterminated the clan because of a trivial matter, and privately recruited soldiers and horses in Henan, and wantonly gave officials to relatives and friends, which was suspected of forming a party for personal gain." Now that he led the army across the Yellow River, he was even more suspicious of privately transferring troops and horses, indiscriminately hunting and killing, and killing good people and asking for merit and rewards. ”
"Yes, there must be bandits, but they will never be as many as Luo Cheng said, hundreds of thousands of bandits at every turn? There are 500,000 bandits in a plain county, so how many bandits are there in more than 40 counties in Henan and Hebei? It must be an exaggeration, there are bandits, but they are by no means as serious as he said, and Luo Cheng privately has heavy troops in Henan, arbitrarily transfers troops and horses, and even crosses the river to the north without an order, which is a serious violation of the system and laws, and His Majesty has to guard against it. ”
Several ministers besieged Luo Cheng in groups there, and they all took Luo Cheng's private troops and horses to talk about things, and also said that his report was unreasonable, and it was impossible for there to be so many thieves and bandits.
In the end, if every general is like Luo Cheng, he will recruit soldiers and horses if he wants to, and if he wants to cross the line, wouldn't it be chaotic?
Where is the national law system?
"This Luo Cheng is too much, relying on some credit for the last expedition to Liao, relying on His Majesty's trust, he is so unscrupulous and greedy, killing a few thieves, and daring to claim to exterminate four or five hundred thousand bandits, beheading a few minions, and actually daring to say that he killed eight puppet kings and thirteen puppet princes, which is too arrogant and arrogant."
Yang Guang thought about it and felt that what these confidants and ministers said was also reasonable.
A small plains county, where did the 500,000 bandits come from?
Besides, in a plain county, there are eight anti-kings and thirteen anti-dukes, which is too unreasonable.
"Your Majesty, although Luo Cheng has some ability to fight, if he is the governor of the twelve counties of Henan, he will not have enough experience."
"Well, then I ordered Luo Cheng to return to Donglai to concentrate on preparing for the Sailor's Eastern Expedition, and as for the post of Henan's pacification ambassador, I will hand over to Doctor Guanglu and Hu Benlang to take over Pei Renji. The Henan ambassador was taken over by Deputy Envoy Zhang Xutuo. ”
Fortunately, although the emperor believed that Luo Cheng was greedy for merit and false rewards, he was still young and meritorious in Luo Cheng's expedition to Liao, and he did not blame him for this, but just asked Luo Cheng to hand over the two envoys, and then go to Donglai to be his taishou, and the commander of 100,000 sailors, to prepare for the expedition of the sailors.
In a word, Luo Cheng, you are too young, you should concentrate on the Eastern Crusade and fight, as for the comfort in this Henan place, whether it is the suppression of bandits, it is better to leave it to others.
No reward or punishment.
When the will was sent to Pingyuan County, Luo Cheng was preparing to send troops into Gaojibo to suppress the bandits.
As a result, an order was issued, and his position as the ambassador of Henan to comfort and arrest the ambassador was gone, and the power to accept the seal was naturally gone.
"Your Majesty, do you believe that I have exterminated so many bandits and killed so many anti-kings?"
The angel smiled bitterly and said, "It's true that the number of bandits exterminated in this plain county is too amazing. ”
Luo Cheng suddenly understood, it is estimated that the emperor still doesn't know the news of thieves and bandits in the Central Plains now, and thinks that it is a peaceful and prosperous era now.
"The hundreds of thousands of bandits in Pingyuan County are not all locals in Pingyuan County, but dozens of bandits from Henan and Hebei have gathered together, doesn't Your Majesty know?"
"Luo Shuai." The new pacification ambassador Pei Renji also smiled bitterly to appease Luo Cheng, he came from Zhuo County, but when he arrived in Pingyuan County, he looked at the prisoner camp outside the city, looked at the newly repaired Pingyuan County, and inquired casually, and knew that the previous victory in Pingyuan was real.
But so what?
"That's it, General Pei, this errand to comfort the ambassador will be handed over to you."
Pei Renji is also a Guan Long general, his grandfather used to be a hussar general in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and his father was also a general in the Zhou and Sui dynasties. However, Pei Renji used to be Li Jing's old subordinate, and Li Jing was Luo Cheng's teacher, so he and Luo Cheng were very cordial.
"The main thing is that Yu Shiji and Yu Wenshu said bad things about Luo Shuai in front of His Majesty, otherwise there would be no such thing."
"Well, I made a note of it."
Luo Cheng was very annoyed in his heart, but he was calm on his face.
Things have happened, and he can't change it, who let him meet an emperor like Yang Guang, although Yang Guang seems to be a good man many times, but in fact, Yang Guang, the emperor, is very paranoid.
"Da Lang, come and meet Luo Shuai."
Pei Renji recruited a young man, who was about to be younger than Luo Cheng.
"This is a dog, eighteen this year, and it is considered a bit brave, playing a small school to learn to ride a horse lance, this time I heard that I came to Henan, I have to come with me, and said that I want to follow Luo Shuai to Liaodong to fight, but I don't know if Luo Shuai is willing to take this kid in."
Luo Cheng looked at the tall young man, "What's the name of Da Lang?" ”
"Back to Luo Shuai, my name is Yuanqing."
Luo Cheng was stunned, Pei Xingyan is Yuanqing?
"What weapon do you use?"
"Horse lance!"
Luo Cheng sighed, thinking that it was okay not to use a hammer.
As a result, Pei Xingyan said again, "I will use a lance immediately, but the short combat is a hammer, and I heard that the handsome short combat is also a hammer, and I hope to have the opportunity to get the handsome guidance on one or two hammers." ”
Luo Cheng wanted to scratch his head, Pei Yuanqing with a hammer.
