Chapter 1044: The Man Behind the Scenes

Wang Shichong nodded, and said in a deep voice: "Yes, in the future, I really want to calm the world, you two are my right-hand men, Wen depends on you Xuancheng, and leading the troops to fight depends on Li Jing, but Li Jing's command ability is too prominent, if I bring him to Liaodong this time, I am afraid that he will be hated, in such a big war, gold will always shine, Li Jing is a person who wants to show very much, once he has this opportunity, he will definitely be able to command a few beautiful battles, and it will attract Yang Guang's attention when the time comes, It will also attract the jealousy of Yu Wenshu and others, which is not a good thing, what I want to do now is to arrange Li Jing in the north quietly, and when the world is in chaos in the future, he will be my Han Xin, and I need him to be in charge alone. ”

Wei Zheng's brows furrowed: "The lord intends to let Li Jing develop in the area of Hedong and Bingzhou in the future?" ”

Wang Shichong smiled slightly: "Yes, Bingzhou is a key place, Mayi and Yanmen are connected to the Turks in the north, to the east you can go out of Taihang Bacheng into the land of Youyan in Hebei, and to the west you can cross the Yellow River to attack Guanzhong, if I want to take the Central Plains directly in the future and occupy Luoyang, I can cross the Yellow River and connect with Hedong, so here is an important chess piece for me to cloth, and Li Jing must be." ”

Wei Zheng nodded and said, "But isn't the lord worried that after Li Jing has his own power, is it possible to stand on his own?" ”

The corners of Wang Shichong's mouth twitched, he pondered for a while, and said slowly: "Li Jing doesn't have a prominent family background, I don't think he wants to be independent, Li Jing and I have also been friends for many years, and I am still clear about his character and bottom line, just like Han Xin back then, what he wanted was only wealth and fame in the annals of history, not really with the intention of seizing the world." ”

Wei Zheng smiled slightly. Changed the subject: "Lord." I heard that Zhang Jin said that he had already started an incident in Hebei. And Dou Jiande also because his family was killed by the government, and went back to Gaojibo to occupy the mountain as the king, Hebei and Shandong are already full of wolf smoke, the chess pieces you laid out, after all, still worked, it is ridiculous that Yang Guang didn't know that the backyard was on fire, and he was still dreaming of conquering Liaodong and raising his might. ”

Wang Shichong sighed. His eyes became lonely: "It's too early to get into trouble now, blame me for not informing Jin Cheng that he wants him to stay dormant for the time being, probably because he saw Dou Jiande raising troops, so he couldn't hold it back, and followed the incident, saying a thousand ways and ten thousand, all of them are Dou Jiande's guy, Xuancheng." Last time I asked you to inquire, is there any news now? Why did Dou Jiande suddenly get into trouble? ”

Wei Zheng nodded. He said in a deep voice: "I was about to report this matter to the lord, and the spies reported last night that because you were commanding the river crossing operation, I was afraid of disturbing you, so I didn't say it, but now I can say that Dou Jiande was killed by the order of Zhanghe County because the whole family, including his mother, was killed by the order of Zhanghe County, so he took more than 200 subordinates and sneaked back to his hometown to kill the officials and rebel." ”

Wang Shichong said softly: "Zhanghe County Order, why did you kill Dou Jiande's whole family?" ”

Wei Zheng sighed: "I heard that it was because someone reported that Shandong Xiangma Wang Bo and Ge Qian, because they were beaten by Zhang Xutuo in Shandong and could not gain a foothold, so there were many small groups of remnants of bandits who entered the Hebei area to make trouble, and Hebei was empty, and they were catching strong men everywhere to fill the army to send supplies to the front line, so in the civil area of Hebei, a large number of people fled, or gathered in the mountains and forests, or formed a village to protect themselves." ”

"And Dou Jiande is very famous in the local area, and other villages have robbed the bandits to some extent, but the village where Dou Jiande is located, there have been no bandits to harass him, so the Zhanghe County Order said that it must be Dou Jiande who colluded with thieves and colluded with bandits, so he took hundreds of sergeants to Dou Jiande's house to search his house. This investigation doesn't matter, and sure enough, it was found out that the Dou family had hidden weapons and armor, and they also sheltered dozens of Jiangyang thieves. ”

"Dou Jiande's wife Cao and several of his subordinates ran away with their martial arts, while the other family members who did not run away were all killed on the charge of banditry in Zhanghe County. After receiving the news, Dou Jiande quickly led his men to flee, left the army of Zhengliao, returned to Zhanghe and killed the county Lingmanmen, and then dragged hundreds of people to Gaojibo, and Sun Anzu and others became a group, and officially fell into the grass. ”

Wang Shichong frowned when he heard this, and shook his head: "Xuan Cheng, don't you think there are many doubts in this matter?" ”

Wei Zheng smiled slightly: "I wish to hear the lord's high opinion." ”

Wang Shichong sighed: "This first, Dou Jiande has been mixed in the underworld for many years, and it is something that the government knows. Who is that Zhanghe County Commander, has this been clarified? ”

Wei Zheng shook his head: "It's under investigation, but I heard that it's a scholar who came up from the imperial examination, and his background is still under investigation." ”

Wang Shichong sneered: "What kind of bullshit imperial examination is it, Yang Guang's face project is just to get some of this kind of embroidered pillows, if there is really a cool official of the Han Dynasty, Zhang Tang's ability to exterminate the local powerful clans, it's just that, like this kind of goods that are not enough to achieve and more than to lose, even if Yang Guang does not die, the country will make a big mess for them." ”

Wei Zheng nodded: "Yes, Yang Guang's imperial examination, since the first realm, more than 200 Xiucai in each department (at this time, the imperial examination scholars are still called Xiucai), assigned to various places as county officials or county orders, or in the six departments to do some grass-roots officials, there are a lot of literati and scholars, but there are very few people with both talent and learning, that is, Chen Xiaoyi, the county guard of Yanmen who has won the Ming Scripture, and Yao Junsu, the general of Yingyanglang who has taken the martial arts examination, can be regarded as some talents. ”

Wang Shichong let out a soft "oh" and said, "Then Yao Junsu I have heard that he used to be Yang Guang's Jin palace guard, and he also has a military position, how can he also take this imperial examination?" ”

Wei Zheng said with a smile: "The imperial examination is just an excuse for Yang Guang to take the opportunity to purge the children of the Guanlong family and the Shandong Shi clan, so that Yao Jun resigned from the original eight-rank Qianniuwei and turned to the imperial examination, and then did something during the examination, so that he won the first place, and he could be promoted to the five-rank Yingyang Lang general at once, I think Shen Guang may also take this path in the future." ”

Wang Shichong nodded: "Yang Guang is still quite good at buying people's hearts, and he is very courteous to Shen Guang, I heard that even the food he didn't eat will be rewarded to Shen Guang to tie his heart, Shen Guang, this kid now mentions Yang Guang, it is a face of loyalty, I can't wait to die for it, I originally intended to envelop this person, but it seems that Yang Guang took advantage of it after all." Speaking of this, Wang Shichong's expression was gloomy. (To be continued......)
