Shi Wei Yunqi, the scribe servant, arrived at Xingyang Mansion to manage the city.
Yang Qing, the king of Xingyang, together with county officials such as county officials and county lieutenants, as well as many local nobles in Henan such as Xingyang Zheng, greeted each other in a high-profile manner and held a banquet to entertain them.
The high-profile welcome is to give face to the eastern capital, the deputy governor of the Yushitai was ordered to inspect the first line of the Tongji Canal, representing the emperor and the central government, this face must be given, and now the situation on the front line of the Tongji Canal is very bad, the government and the Yingyang Mansion deliberately do not act, the local forces or cold bystanders, or fishing in troubled waters, all of which really can't withstand the picket of the poor, so they hold the psychology of "I respect you a zhang, you return me a foot", and then close the relationship first.
Eating is a trivial matter, and fighting chaos is a big thing, and to Wei Yunqi, he wants people, money and food, and the full support of the local government, Yingyang Mansion and aristocratic prestige, so he also put down his body, takes the initiative to cater to it, and strives to reach a compromise with all parties, and strives to pull up a team to fight the rebellion in the shortest possible time.
The Zheng clan of Xingyang fulfilled its promise and fully cooperated, and during the extraordinary period, the nobles and nobles who had escaped from the territory of Jiyin in the original Xingyang and Dongjun also actively responded to the call of the Zheng clan and rushed to Junyi with their township regiments to assemble and follow Wei Yunqi to suppress the thieves.
Since the white thieves led the Southwest Lu Righteous Army Alliance into the Central Plains, they not only held countless Henan victims hostage, but also used these victims to attack the city, burn and plunder, and brought huge losses to the local nobles, some of whom were even ruined and bankrupt, and the loss of the control of the waterways of Ji, Heshui and Tongji Canal dealt a heavy blow to the nobles who relied on these two waterways to earn wealth. All the people who suffered losses hated the white thieves and the Southwest Lu Rebel Alliance, and the willingness to fight the thieves was very strong, but the Henan aristocratic group took the Xingyang Zheng clan as the "banner", and only the Xingyang Zheng clan was looking forward, and the Zheng clan faced the incoming crisis, faced with incalculable losses, and repeatedly forbeared, and everyone knew the reasons behind this.
Zheng is looking for opportunities to fight back, and he is desperately looking for allies to maximize his interests. Although the Zheng family does have the strength to suppress the thieves and is willing to pay a sufficient price, the premise is that the Zheng family cannot stand out, cannot waste their efforts, and must win enough rewards, of course, not to make wedding clothes for others. Zheng waited for the price to sell, and Webster came in a hurry, and the two sides hit it off, and the transaction was successful.
The Zheng family paid for it, and the local government paid for it. Yang Qing, the Taishou of Xingyang, Dugucheng of Dongjun, Wei Baoluan of Jiyin, and Li Dan of Liangjun either personally pledged to Wei Yunqi, or sent envoys to deliver letters, promising to do everything possible to provide financial and food support.
Wei Yunqi stayed in Guancheng for a day, learned about the latest situation on the front line of Tongji Canal, and implemented the preliminary preparations for the suppression of thieves one by one, and then set off for Junyi City.
Wu Benlang led Fei Yao and Xingyang Governor Cui Baode to meet the Governor of Eagle Yang and local officials outside the city.
Fei Yao has received a secret letter from Yuan Wendu, and Cui Baode has also learned about the changes in the political situation in the Eastern Capital from the family's secret letter, both of them know that Wei Shi will do whatever it takes to push Yang Lan, the king of Qi, to the throne of the prince this time, and Wei Yunqi may have the intention of "redeeming the merits", and he went into battle shirtless and charged for Yang Lan, the king of Qi.
Yuan Wendu clearly told Fei Yao that without the order of the emperor and the center, the Gyeonggi garrison was not allowed to take a step out of the Tianjian Pass, and the generals of the Weifu who stayed in the eastern capital, even if they had different interests and demands, but in the face of the principle of right and wrong, they did not dare to call the army without authorization, that is to say, the current attitude of the military in the eastern capital is very tough, unless the Tongji Canal is interrupted and has to be cut first and then played according to the law of military rejuvenation (wartime system), otherwise not a single soldier will be dispatched out of Beijing to fight the rebellion.
Yuan Wendu warned Fei Yao accordingly that Wei Yunqi was ruthless, decisive in killing, treacherous, and unruly, and once he was blocked on the battlefield of rebellion, it was very likely that he would cut off the Tongji Canal in the name of the rebels, thus forcing the Gyeonggi garrison to go out of Beijing to suppress the thieves. If the shape deteriorates, it will be Fei Yao and Cui Baode who will be in charge, and the two of them will definitely have to go out of the customs. Yuan Wen asked Fei Yao to resolutely not go out. Yuan's support for Qi Wang is very limited, and Wei's is even more vigilant, last time Yuan's had already given Wei's yin, making him lose face, and he was dumb and ate Coptis chinensis, so this time if Wei's old trick is repeated, Yuan's not only can't be fooled, but will give it a head-on blow, you and I are a soft persimmon easy to pinch?
Wei Yunqi inspected the fortress, and then asked Fei Yao and Cui Baode for help, I want to go out of the pass to suppress the thieves, but the people who go with me to fight are all armed with local township regiments and clans, and they lack weapons, do you want to support some?
Fei Yao and Cui Baode agreed.
Fei Yao was entrusted by Yuan Wendu, since the Yuan family cooperated with Wei's, he always had to say something, and he couldn't talk in the vernacular, while Cui Baode was forced by Xingyang Zheng's request for help, so it was not good not to agree, after all, the two have been cooperating more than confrontation for a long time, and this little thing can't be put on the table, it's just a favor.
The next day, Wei Yunqi left Junyi City, crossed the moat pass, and went straight to the Yellow River Ancient Road, which was more than 20 miles away.
Jiyin Taishou Wei Baoluan and more than 2,000 soldiers of the Jiyin Township Tuanzong had arrived at the Yellow River Ancient Road two days ago, waiting for Wei Yunqi's arrival.
Wei Yunqi was in his fifties, of medium stature, with a thin body, a stiff and cold face, and a pair of sharp eyes under his sword eyebrows, which made people daunting.
Wei Baoluan, who looks rich and rich, has a round face, and looks gentle and friendly, although he is a prince of the country, he does not have the slightest advantage in front of Wei Yunqi, on the contrary, he is quite nervous, and even a little afraid.
In fact, don't say that Wei Baoluan is afraid of Wei Yunqi, the other officials of the Jiyin County Government are all trembling in front of Wei Yunqi. In addition to Wei Yunqi's status as the deputy governor of the Imperial Historical Observatory, which frightened the bureaucrats, the bloody killings on the battlefield also brought him notoriety. At the beginning, after he defeated the Khitans in a battle with the hands of the Turks, he captured more than 40,000 people, including all the men. A person who killed tens of thousands of northern captives while talking and laughing, and his hands were covered with a lot of blood, is a demonic cunzΓ i, who is not afraid?
Sure enough, Wei Yunqi raised his hand to kill, except for Wei Baoluan, the county guard, he was really not qualified to kill, the rest of the officials, all those who abandoned the city and fled, were all killed. In the blink of an eye, dozens of human heads fell to the ground, hanging bloodily outside the gate, and everyone was in danger, all of them panicked.
The person in charge of supervising the beheading is Yang Qian. When Yang Qing, the king of Xun, intended to introduce Yang Qian to Wei Yunqi, Wei Yunqi knew it, and did not hesitate to recruit Yang Qian to participate in the military for his own records, and was in charge of the general record of Cao Wenshu, raising the good and evil, and entrusting him with important tasks, making it clear that he wanted to tie the royal family to his "ship".
Yang Qian reported to Wei Yunqi, everyone was killed, the owl was shown to the public, and the Wei Du that should be established was established, and the next step was to integrate the township regiments and sects that came from all over the country as quickly as possible, and set up the army as much as possible, and the related matters related to the construction of the army were also fully responsible for Yang Qian.
After Yang Qian's detailed report was finished, Wei Yunqi nodded frequently with appreciation, and suddenly he asked, "You were in Licheng Yingyang Mansion before?" β
"A certain person is in Licheng Yingyang Mansion as a Sima."
"So, you've fought the White Thief?"
"Does Ming Gong want to know about the white thief?" Yang Qian asked with a smile.
"I know a part of him." Wei Yunqi sneered, "At the beginning, he burned the white horse, hijacked the imperial history, and shocked the eastern capital, which can be described as notorious, but then he gathered a crowd to rebel in Mangdang Mountain, looted heavy troops on the Tongji Canal, and then he shook a shot, turned around and killed Qilu, and went to Mengshan. Now, he has actually entered the Central Plains again. What is very puzzled is that such a traitor with poor strength, why can't Dong Chun and Liang Dezhong kill him? Why can't Zhang Xutuo and Duan Wencao be killed? β
Wei Yunqi looked at Yang Qian, his eyes showing a cold light, "Can you tell sΓΉ for an answer?" β
Yang Qian hesitated for a moment, and then stopped.
Wei Yunqi snorted coldly, "In front of so-and-so, what dare you not say?" β
Yang Qian bowed slightly, and asked cautiously, "It is rumored that when the white thief and white horse escaped from prison, there was a person in the White Horse City who was shocked, I don't know if Ming Gong has heard of it?" β
Wei Yunqi's eyes narrowed slightly, his eyes were gloomy, and his face was even more cold.
"Who?"
"I don't know." Yang Qian replied very crisply.
Wei Yunqi stared at Yang Qian's eyes, as if he wanted to see through his eyes, but Yang Qian's eyes were clear and calm, his expression was indifferent, and he didn't seem to have the intention of deceiving.
"Do you suspect that the white thief has a black hand behind his back?"
"There must be a black hand behind the white thief." Yang Qian's tone was firm, "In the battle of Ningyang, the white thief defeated Duan Envoy Jun and has already controlled the initiative in the battlefield of southwest Lu, he can take advantage of the situation to expand the victory and expand his victory with Mengshan as the center, but he didn't, he actually entered the Central Plains unbelievably." How could such a stroke of genius come from the rebellious hand of a horse thief born in the wilderness? β
Wei Yunqi pondered for a long time, and then he said slowly, "If there is a traitor, this battle will be difficult to fight." β
Yang Qian didn't speak, what he was worried about was not the traitor, but the Eastern Crusade.
"Ming Gong, this battle is not difficult to fight, but how to fight."
Wei Yunqi heard that Yang Qian's words were there, and his eyes showed doubts.
"The Donglai Sailor is about to set out on a day, at this time, if the Ming Gong fights hard and urgently, forcing the white thief to withdraw to Qilu and cutting off the transportation channel from Xuzhou to Donglai, it will definitely affect the sailor to cross the river and affect the ongoing Eastern Crusade."
Wei Yunqi's face changed slightly, and he was speechless for a while.
The headquarters of the Southwest Lu Righteous Army Alliance, the Great Governor's Office.
Xiao Yi hurriedly walked into the tent and couldn't help but pull Li Fengyun into the tent.
"Junyi has a secret envoy." Xiao Yi said in a low voice, "Shi Wei Yunqi, the scholar servant, has arrived in Junyi and wants to recruit all the township regiments in Henan to attack our righteous army. β
Wei Yunqi? Li Fengyun frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and said to Xiao Yi, "Invite Pushan Gong, he should get the news before us, and the Eastern Capital may have already prepared countermeasures." β
Xiao Yi understood what Li Fengyun meant after thinking about it for a while, and immediately went to find Li Mi.
