Wu Benlang brought Liang Dezhong to Fujicheng, and with him went north with six regiments of Eagle Yangwei.
Previously, the Tengcheng Yingyang Mansion had received an order from the Pengcheng Wei Mansion, but the scouts sent out had neither rebels in the territory of Fujicheng nor any trace of thieves in the neighboring Fan County. When he was puzzled, Liang Dezhong arrived, and heard that there was no rebel in this area, and immediately realized that the rebels had left the country by small road, and the direction was Hexiang and Gucheng, and then went directly to Mengshan.
Liang Dezhong was very angry, he and Dong Chun were both veterans of the battlefield, who knew that today they were played by a group of small thieves, chasing and intercepting them for nearly a thousand miles, or giving the other party an escape, which was a great shame.
Although Dong Chun must bear the main responsibility for this, his position as General Zuo Xiaowei cannot be kept, and the time spent in Pengcheng is only a handful, but Liang Dezhong's joint responsibility will definitely not be able to escape, considering that the Eastern Crusade is imminent, the safety of the canal is very important, and the Eastern Capital may not transfer the two commanders of the Weifu from Xuzhou Chongdi in one go, and it is very likely that Liang Dezhong will continue to stay in Xuzhou, so Liang Dezhong must do his best to suppress the thieves in the next time, and it is best to make some achievements to atone for his crimes, so as to give Dongdu an explanation, also save some face for himself, otherwise even if he takes advantage of the windfall of the Eastern Crusade, he will return to his hometown in the future, but he will no longer be glorious, and he will always be ridiculed.
Liang De regained his determination to kill all the thieves no matter what, and gave a death order to the subordinates of the military bureaucrats under his account, and he must find out the direction of the thieves' escape, otherwise he will be severely punished.
The commander let go of the cruel words, and the people below did not dare to disobey the yang and the yin, wouldn't they ask for trouble if they were perfunctory? Soon, news came back that the thieves who had fled from Qian County had left the country from the direction of Hexiang, rested for a day in a secluded place in Gucheng, and then went east to Mengshan.
The thieves left the country, and they were cautious, unwilling to provoke the strong enemies of Lu County, and fled directly into the vast mountains, so that the difficulty of killing was greatly increased, because this was no longer a matter of Pengcheng County, but also involved Lu County and Langya County, and involved the interests of the two regions.
Pengcheng County belongs to the Xuzhou region, Lu County and Langya County belong to the Qilu region, and they are subordinate to different Weifu in terms of military suppression, and they are all under the orders of the central government in terms of administration, so whether it is to carry out military operations or implement political and economic policies, they need to be ordered by the central government. Mengshan is located at the junction of the three counties, the junction of the two regions, if you want to encircle and suppress the thieves on the mountain, Xuzhou's Zuo Xiaowei Mansion does not count, Qizhou's Right Houwei Mansion also says it does not count, only the central government has the final say, only the Eastern Capital order, and coordinate between the many military and political officials in the two regions, and then mobilize the army and grain and grass weapons, in order to carry out encirclement and suppression. However, involving the whole body, which involves many complex interests, from top to bottom, entangled, the more the teacher moves, the more difficult it is to achieve results, and even contrary to the initial wishes.
"Straight lady thieves, a group of despicable and vicious people, how can it be so cunning!" The more Liang Dezhong thought about it, the more irritable he became, and he couldn't help but scold.
Now he finally believes Dong Chun's warning, there is a "black hand" behind this group of thieves, there are outstanding strategists in this group of thieves, this group of thieves must have ulterior motives when they suddenly raise the flag to rebel before the Eastern Expedition, otherwise, it is impossible for a group of rabble to escape the encirclement and interception of many Yingyang Mansions, and to everyone's expectations, they fled thousands of miles into Mengshan.
This last resort was too clever, escaping into Mengshan, taking advantage of the fact that there was no coordination between the two major regions of Yingyang Mansion and the three county governments to jointly encircle and suppress, and won himself precious respite. After the Eastern Capital ordered the slaughter and coordinated the relationship between the Yingyang Mansion and the Three Counties in the two regions, it was already winter. In winter, there was heavy snow and difficult mountain roads, and there was no way to attack on a large scale. When the spring flowers bloom and the Eastern Crusade begins, the whole country must work hard to protect the Eastern Crusade, and the Grand Canal that runs through the north and south of Middle Earth is the lifeline of the Eastern Crusade soldiers, and the importance of its safety can be imagined, and all the troops and governments along the canal will do their best to protect the canal. That is to say, when the spring flowers bloomed, the matter of suppressing the thieves in Mengshan was completely shelved, and they could only watch this group of thieves grow stronger, and even go down the mountain to burn, kill and plunder, directly threatening the safety of the canal.
In this way, only now is the best time to suppress the thief, taking advantage of the exhaustion of the thief, and failing to gain a foothold in Mengshan, the tail is the best policy.
However, the law of the country is like a mountain, the military discipline is like iron, although the law of this dynasty is not harsh, but the law is the law, no matter what your subjective wishes, as long as you break the law, then you have to accept the punishment. The army in the Xuzhou region entered the Qilu region without the permission of the Eastern Capital, which was tantamount to rebellion, and Liang Dezhong's 100 heads were not enough to cut off.
Just when Liang Dezhong was hesitant and helpless, Wei Yunyue hurried over, "Duke Ming, Cui Juncheng has arrived." ”
Trydeben? What is he here for? Do you want to come and kill the thief? Not really, right? Although the thieves "swaggered" around Pengcheng under the nose of the Wei Mansion, making the Pengcheng military and political chief plant a big heel and lose a big face, but everyone is responsible for this matter, although the Wei Mansion has no face, and the county government is also ashamed, so everyone has a tacit understanding to bury the truth in the Surabaya River, rot in the stomach, and never mention it. When the report was made to the Eastern Capital, it was said that the thieves were powerful, with 100,000 people, overwhelming the sky and the sea, and the main forces of the eagles of Pengcheng Weifu were not there, and they were weak and could not defeat the thieves, so the thieves rushed over. Dong Chun is "down" anyway, there is no way to save it, there is no need to get along with everyone, give others a convenience now, and give yourself a way to live in the future, so he also wanted to open it and took the initiative to take the responsibility.
Cui Deben, as the second administrator of Pengcheng, will definitely stay in Pengcheng after his immediate boss has taken all the responsibilities. However, although his family background is prominent, he is not yet qualified to serve as a taishou, and he has to continue to stay in the position of the county prince. Of course, Cui Deben wanted to be a taishou, and Pengcheng had a large population and an important geographical location, and it was Shangjun, and the official rank of Shangjun Taishou was from Sanpin. The order of the Shangshu of this dynasty is the second product, the left and right servants of the Shangshu are from the second product, and the six Shangshu, the nine temples Zhengqing, and the general of the Weifu are the three products. By analogy, it can be seen that the official rank of the three products has a high status, a heavy power, and a small number of people in this dynasty.
Cui Deben was born in the first wealthy family in Shandong, and Cui's is even more powerful in the court, if he can make remarkable achievements in Xuzhou, there is still some hope for the upper Taishou. In terms of the current shape of Xuzhou, if the thief can be successfully suppressed, it will be an eye-catching achievement. Imagine that Dong Chun, the famous marshal of the Wei Mansion, failed to kill the thief, but he Cui Deben succeeded in killing him, such an achievement is not eye-catching enough?
Cui Deben really came to suppress the thieves, but he was the administrator of Pengcheng, and the administrator of this dynasty once had the right to command the army during the special period, but after ascending the throne, he was determined to reform and implement a series of new systems, including depriving the local administrator of this privilege, unless authorized by the emperor and the center, the local administrator was not allowed to have the right to command the army. Cui Deben thought of a compromise solution, retreated to the second, and took the initiative to help Liang Dezhong suppress the thief. It's not enough to do it alone, so it's always okay to get a piece of the pie, right?
Liang Dezhong is a local nobleman in Guanzhong, and Wei Yunyue, the Yingyanglang general of Peicheng Yingyang Mansion, belongs to the same aristocratic group, while Cui Deben belongs to the Shandong aristocratic group. But Cui De was confident, Shi Shiran came, he calculated that the thief would leave the country and flee to Mengshan, and Liang Dezhong had no courage to cross the border to chase and kill, but Liang Dezhong was as eager to make meritorious service as he was, so there was a basis for cooperation.
Liang Dezhong saw through Cui Deben's shameless tricks at a glance, and immediately scoffed, but now Dong Chun has not "left", he is still the "boss" of Pengcheng, he still has to be a low-key person, and he has to find allies, and Cui Deben is his ally. In addition, if he wants to make money in Pengcheng, he must have a good relationship with Cui Deben, otherwise once Cui Deben catches the evidence of his violation of law and discipline, he will be impeached, and with Cui's power in the court, he will not find a place to cry, so even if Liang Dezhong sees through Cui Deben's intention to grab credit, he has to "bow his head" considering his own vital interests.
Rather than letting people rob it, it is better to take the initiative to "send", it is a big favor, so Liang Dezhong happily welcomed it out.
The official rank of Shangjun Juncheng is the fifth grade, and the official rank of the general of the Weifu Wu Benlang is the fourth grade, which is two levels worse, and it stands to reason that Liang Dezhong should sit and wait for Cui Deben to come to see him, but in fact, the respect and inferiority between the two are just reversed.
Since the prosperity of the Wei and Jin dynasties in Middle Earth, many etiquettes in officialdom are not based on the rank of the official, but according to the rank of the nobles. For example, the Cui family is not only the first wealthy family in Shandong, but also the top wealthy family in Middle Earth, the highest level among the nobles, even the royal family has to marry with it to consolidate their prestige, so even if you are noble in the officialdom, if your surname is lower than the Cui family in the noble rank, then in the informal setting, you have to respect the Cui family, otherwise you will be "rude" and will be ridiculed and rejected by your noble colleagues.
Since the beginning of the first emperor, the dynasty has implemented the political reform with the goal of centralization, to contain and crack down on the gate lord clan, trying to completely destroy the gate lord clan government that has lasted for more than 400 years since the Wei and Jin dynasties, one of the most important reforms is to abolish the election system of the Jiupin Zhongzheng system, in fact, it is to abolish the traditional aristocratic hierarchy, and this system is the basis of the gate lord clan government, which shows the difficulty of reform. The reformers of this dynasty have preached in a high-profile manner that they want to implement a new aristocratic hierarchical ranking system based on the principle of "Shang Guan" that is, the level of official positions, instead of "Shang surname", that is, the principle of respect and inferiority of surnames, this wish is good, but the reality is that the concept of gate valve has lasted for more than 400 years and has already become a core part of the etiquette culture of Middle-earth, how can it be changed overnight? As long as the concept of the gate valve exists, as long as the aristocratic hierarchy exists, then the so-called "Shang Guan" and "Shang surname" principles are just replacing the old gate valve with the new door valve, and the old wine in the new bottle is meaningless.
Liang Dezhong, a senior military attaché, respectfully welcomed Cui Deben, a middle-level civil official, into the lobby, invited him to take a seat, and then accompanied him to the side seat, told him in detail about the current complicated situation of suppressing thieves, and then took the initiative to ask questions. Since you're here, you're not so thick-skinned that you sit and wait for the credit to come to you, more or less even if you pretend, you have to make a little effort, right?
"There is a plan that can solve the general's urgent needs." Cui Deben stroked his long beard and said casually.
