Dou Xuan decided to immediately follow the example of Zhang Xutuo, the commander of Qi County, and immediately requisitioned the forces of the clan and township regiments of Langya County to hold on to the city. Although Dou Xuan was powerless to suppress the thieves in the current situation, he could not let the thieves capture the city and capture the entire Langya County.

Cui Deben is the first wealthy family with the surname Han in Shandong, and Dou Xuan, a nobleman surnamed Guan Longlu, is basically a person on the same road, the reason why he secretly believes Dou Xuan, his real purpose is to use the Xuzhou thieves to capture Mengshan, to exert heavy pressure on Dou Xuan, forcing Dou Xuan to have to requisition the clan and township regiment to save himself. And the Dou family is a relative of the emperor, and Dou Xuan and the emperor are cousins, with this relationship, Dou Xuan can of course get the emperor's authorization to get the right to command the army.

As long as Duan Wencao and Dou Xuan have successively obtained the right to command the army because of the chaos and thieves, plus Zhang Xutuo, the commander of Qijun County, then it is certain that Cui Deben will also get the right to command the army because of the chaos and thieves. As soon as the emperor and the central government opened this opening, it would be difficult to block it again, and the magistrates would inevitably follow suit in order to increase their power, and the results could be imagined. When local power is great, the authority of the central government will be weakened, and once the central and local governments fall into confrontation, the peaceful reunification of China and Turkey will be in jeopardy.

Dou Xuan is still not worried about the peaceful reunification of Middle Earth, what he wants to worry about is the stability of Langya County, so the second countermeasure he came up with is to ask for help from the Right Houwei Mansion and Zhou Fashang. Zhou Fashang was the deputy commander of the navy, and he was also responsible for the suppression of the Qilu region, but his main focus was on the preparations for the early stage of the Eastern Expedition, and he had no time to take care of the Qilu garrison. Zhou Fashang didn't pay attention to these things at all, maybe he thought that a group of small thieves were not worth his attention at all, and Zhang Xutuo could handle it.

Dou Xuan wrote back to Cui Deben and expressed his gratitude to him, although Cui Deben took the initiative to tell him that the real purpose of the secret was not simple, it was to go to the right to command the army, but everyone was also the head of the local administrator, and at the same time had to face the Xuzhou thieves who had occupied Mengshan, if they could get the right to command the army, it would be good for everyone, so Dou Xuan did not complain that Cui Deben intended to use him, on the contrary, he was very grateful to Cui De for telling him the truth about the Xuzhou thieves in the first time, so that he had enough time to deal with it. He gave Cui Deben what he needed in return, cooperating on the basis of the same interests of both parties.

In Dou Xuan's current situation, he must be flexible in order to win as much support as possible from Qilu and Xuzhou. Considering that Dong Chun will leave Pengcheng soon, Cui Deben will be the administrator of Pengcheng for a period of time in the future, and if he can quickly promote cooperation with him, he will definitely be able to help Langya. Therefore, Dou Xuan sent his cronies to Pengcheng day and night, on the one hand, to discuss cooperation matters with Cui Deben, and on the other hand, to explore the situation in Xuzhou, especially to pay close attention to the exhibition of Lu County, to see if he could unite the forces of the three counties to encircle and suppress Mengshan, so as to give Langya County a chance to reverse the crisis.

Zhang Xutuo received a letter from Duan Wencao.

Xuzhou thieves occupy Mengshan, intrude Lu County, now Surabaya County has fallen, Qufu was plundered, the flawed hill is in a hurry, so it has to be transferred to rescue, the main force of Lu County is about to retreat from Juping, Liang's father, has been unable to cooperate with the Qi County army to Wang Bo, Meng Rang thieves to carry out a north-south flank attack, please Zhang Juncheng consider as appropriate, whether to attack the thief army immediately, or find another strategy?

Xuzhou thief? There are also thieves in Xuzhou who have rebelled? Zhang Xutuo was surprised.

Before the Eastern Crusade began, the domestic situation continued to deteriorate, first the flood of the Great River, and then the traitors rose everywhere, Qilu had Wang Bo, Meng Rang thieves, Hebei had Liu Badao, Gao Shida, Hao Xiaode, Zhang Jin called the thieves, Henan thief Zhai Rang also gathered people for chaos, burned the white horse, shocked the eastern capital, and now Xuzhou also has people rebelled, it can be seen that the situation in the north and south of the river is deteriorating. Why can't the Yingyang Prefecture quickly quell the rebellion and stabilize the situation? The reason is the Eastern Crusade, the emperor and the central center for the Eastern Crusade, the Eagle Yang in the north and south of the Great River was almost exhausted, and there was no army, what could they do to quell the rebellion? What to take to stabilize dìng place?

Although Zhang Xutuo was anxious, he was not depressed. He is still very confident in the Eastern Expedition, the strength of the Middle-earth Weifu army is strong, and the Goguryeo barbarians are small countries, the two sides are not opponents of the same level, and victory is within reach. After the end of the Eastern Crusade, hundreds of thousands of Weifu troops returned from the Far East, and the ghosts and spirits in the north and south of the Great River were like rootless duckweed, which would be swallowed by the roaring flood. Compared with the happy days in the future, this difficulty in front of him is really nothing, and more importantly, if this difficulty in front of him can be used well, even if he can't go to the battlefield of the Eastern Expedition to kill prisoners and make meritorious contributions, he can also make military achievements on the battlefield of domestic thieves, and he can also be rewarded by the emperor and promoted to a knighthood.

So, how to deal with the current situation?

Spreading out the map and carefully deducing it, Zhang Xutuo immediately saw the problem, and a pair of thick eyebrows suddenly locked.

"Ming Gong, the thief in Xuzhou is strange." A young man in his early twenties, full of vigor and grandeur, stood opposite Zhang Xutuo and said with a pun.

Zhang Xutuo was silent, but there was a hint of approval in his eyes, and he attached great importance to the young man in front of him.

This young man's name is Yang Qian, Sima of Licheng Yingyang Mansion, after Licheng Yingyang Lang General and Ying Jianlang General led the main force to Liaodong, he took a regiment to stay in Licheng. Zhang Xutuo formed an army on his own to suppress thieves, and after getting the affirmation of the emperor and the center, Zhou Fashang, the commander of the Right Waiting Guard, also gave support, and ordered the four remaining brigades of the Yingyang Mansion in Qi County to accept Zhang Xutuo's command and obey orders under Zhang Xutuo's account. Before Zhou Fashang's order was issued, except for Yang Qian of the Yingyang Mansion in Licheng, the other three Yingyang Mansions all refused to accept Zhang Xutuo's order, and Yang Qian's consistent support for Zhang Xutuo, coupled with his special status, was one of the reasons why Zhang Xutuo dared to risk his head to form a local army to suppress thieves.

Yang Qian was born in the royal family, and is the grandson of Yang Xiong, the powerful and powerful king of the dynasty, and the son of Yang Gongren, the servant of the ministry. With such a wealthy kid behind his back, Zhang Xutuo does have some confidence. With confidence, Zhang Xutuo dared to ask his benefactor Yang Xuangan, the Duke of Chu, for help.

Yang Xuangan was the secretary of the Ministry of Rites of the current dynasty, and inherited all the political inheritance of Yang Su, the old Duke of Chu. Yang Su is a famous general in Middle-earth, a hero of unification, the founding father, who has been in the position of ruler for more than ten years, and now he inherited the imperial system with his full support and sat on the throne of the emperor. The power of such a figure can be imagined.

Hongnong Yang is one of the great families of Middle Earth, although it cannot be compared with the five wealthy families of Shandong Cui, Lu, Wang, Li and Zheng, but it is not far behind. The first emperor opened the country, established the Great Sui, unified the Middle Earth, and the Hongnong Yang clan turned into a royal family. Yang Su is from Hongnong, but he is a little far from the first emperor in terms of blood, so he cannot be listed as a royal family. However, as a close to the royal family, Yang Su and his family are still very prominent, and Yang Su replaced the royal family and became the leader of the Heluo aristocratic group.

Zhang Xutuo is also from Hongnong, born in the family of the eunuch, and naturally became a member of Yang Su's family, but Zhang Xutuo's background is too low, with his noble rank, it is very good to rely on military merits to achieve the five grades of Yingyanglang in his career. If you want to go one step further and step into the ranks of senior bureaucrats, you have to rely on opportunities, and opportunities are hard to come by, and the most realistic way is to climb to the powerful. The big magnates are deeply involved in the political struggle, and if they are not careful, they will collapse violently, and if the big magnates fall, those who cling to them will be affected, so this risk is very great, one step to heaven and one step to hell. Yang Xuangan is already a powerful person, and Zhang Xutuo is in his faction, so it should be easy to climb to it, but the reality is very cruel, Zhang Xutuo is too far away from the core of Yang Xuangan's lineage, he can only exist as a marginal figure, and it is difficult to be reused, especially after he left the army to serve in the local area, the distance between him and Yang Xuangan is even farther.

After Zhang Xutuo arrived in Qi County, he was very lost and depressed, and at this moment, Yang Qian suddenly appeared in Zhang Xutuo's sight.

When Zhang Xutuo met Yang Qian for the first time and learned his true identity, Zhang Xutuo could hardly believe his ears. When the grandson of Yang Xiong, the powerful king of the dynasty, and the son of Yang Gongren, the servant of the ministry, actually hid in a small Yingyang Mansion, this is simply an unbelievable thing, if this spreads, it will not only cause a sensation in Qi County and even the Qilu region, I am afraid that the eastern capital will be surprised.

For the children of the aristocracy, the first stop of the official career is to serve in the three guards and five mansions of the Praetorian Guard. The Praetorian Guards of this dynasty are subordinate to the left and right Yiwei Mansions, and they have jurisdiction over the First Guard, the Second Xunwei Mansion, and the Second Yiwei Mansion, a total of five Janissary Guards. Today, the three guards are changed to three servants, so they are also called three servants and five mansions. Among them, the personal guard is the seventh grade, the Xun guard is the seventh grade, and the Yiwei is the eighth grade. Generally, the children of second- and third-rank aristocratic bureaucrats can go to the Praetorian Guard to serve as personal guards, and so on. That is to say, as long as you are a child of a certain level of nobility, then as long as you step into the official career, the minimum is also the eighth grade. But even so, in the eyes of the aristocracy, the rank of Sanwei is still very low, but fortunately, everyone is from a very high background, and they can use this as a threshold to accumulate qualifications and gradually promote, so this way of entering the ranks is still valued by the nobles and bureaucrats.

With Yang Qian's identity and family background, he was a seventh-rank personal guard in the Eastern Capital Praetorian Guard, and he could be promoted after a few years, comfortable and comfortable, is it necessary to run to an ordinary Yingyang Mansion to serve as the Sima of the seventh grade? Zhang Xutuo couldn't figure it out, so he could only explain that this was either a purposeful arrangement by the Yang family, or it was a quirk of the children of the family. The children of the family are not all gentle, personable, and intellectual, and many of them are losers, and some of them belong to "strange people", with debauchery, uninhibited, and personality.

Zhang Xutuo initially thought that Yang Qian was also a person with personality and was not easy to deal with, but after a period of contact, Zhang Xutuo changed his mind, and Yang Qian's personality was the same as his father Yang Gongren's reputation, and he was humble, which was relatively rare in the royal family. Being humble, of course, it is easy to deal with, and what especially surprised Zhang Xutuo was that Yang Qian was always respectful and polite to him, and he was also quite respectful in his words, which couldn't help but make Zhang Xutuo surprised, but also moved his mind, since he couldn't count on Yang Xuangan in his career, why couldn't he think of a way in the Guanwang Yang Xiong family? Although stepping on two boats is a taboo in officialdom, what does it matter if you take some risks for the sake of your future?

Zhang Xutuo's gaze slowly turned to the other young man standing beside him.
