Wang Liang, who was newly transferred to the Tiande Army, had just taken office for less than a month when he encountered a rather thorny problem: Galgudu, the leader of the grassland Wuhuai tribe, wrote a letter requesting that he be allowed to lead his troops south to Daqingshan to escape the coming winter cold.
This marshal, who was born in Hanlin and had just been transferred from the Eastern Capital Shaoyin, did not believe in the rhetoric of the wind and snow at all, he firmly believed that this was the loser in the Khitan internal strife who came to take refuge, and there was often internal strife between the various departments of the grassland, and the loser often went south to take refuge in the imperial court.
Wang Liang disdains such dirty things, he knows very well that the original intention of his coming to the Tiande Army is not to deter the barbarians, but to restore the people's strength and restore the economy.
It is precisely because of this that he was transferred to this minister,
Whether to take them in for his own use, or to turn them away, Wang Dashuai thought about it behind closed doors for a night, and finally made up his mind, sheltered them, let them live at the northern foot of Daqing Mountain, sent condolences, and sent some firewood, rice, oil and salt to show the concern of the court, but please Galgudu Leader body wipe the difficulties of the court, the south of Daqing Mountain has just gone through the war to pacify the bandits, and the people are still unstable, so they will not open the door to entertain guests.
Yang Hao also did not expect to be able to knock on the pass into the hinterland of the Tiande Army, he bribed the Shuai Fu Counselor who came to comfort him with a lot of money, and asked him to be accommodating to choose a piece of feng shui treasure land for himself and his subordinates in order to recuperate and avoid this heavy snowstorm, and the ginseng accepted his gold and silver braved the wind and snow and cold, walked in Daqingshan for two days and three nights, and finally selected a place for Yang Hao to settle down, which is a flat depression in the hinterland of Daqingshan, which is easy to defend, but it is difficult to make a difference.
Counselor described the place called Daqingchuan as a prison, and he wanted to use the advantage of the terrain to imprison this unruly beast from the grassland.
Wang Dashuai sent to monitor the deputy envoy not only accepted Yang Hao's heavy bribes, but also with Yang Panchun for a while, he fully agreed with the words of the senzhi, of course, he also knew that direct approval would definitely cause the suspicion and unhappiness of the marshal, he turned around the words of the words, clearly suppressed the praise, the marshal was completely relieved, he said: not my race, its heart will be different, these barbarians on the grassland must not be taken lightly, on the other hand, he transferred Wang Heng, the general who guarded the Daqingchuan to the surrendered city, back to the marshal's mansion, Wang Heng is his nephew, I've been growing up with him for twenty years,
It was rumored that Wang Heng was actually his biological son, and the reason was that Wang Heng was born the year after his eldest brother died of illness.
After Yang Hao stood still, he was busy playing the guards around him, the Tiande army was the first station, the guards of Hedong Datong and the guards of Fengzhou, which could not be missing, and even more careful, in comparison, this Wang Dashuai, who was born in Hanlin Bachelor, was much easier to deal with, he was good at talking about the road and short on the line, he was easy to be deceived by the attendants around him, but he thought self-righteously that he was discerning and omniscient,
Yang Hao decided to personally go into the city to visit the former Hanlin bachelor and Shaoyin of the Eastern Capital, and he brought a letter from Wu Chenglong.
Seeing each other very happily, Yang Hao brought more than a dozen carts of gifts, furs, native products and gold and silver, Wang Liang also opened the city gate, and the cloak was hung to greet him outside the tooth tent, for this young leader who was dressed strangely but could speak fluent Chinese, Wang Dashuai suddenly had a good impression, he carefully inquired about Yang Hao's experience, especially interested in his ability to speak Chinese with a Chang'an accent,
Yang Hao recounted his experience, he said I dare not deceive the marshal, in Xia was indeed a member of the capital, because of the disaster in the ninth year of Yamato, had to die in the desert, by chance to become the leader of the Wuhuai Department,
Yang Hao naturally has his reason for saying this, Wu Chenglong told him that although Wang Dashuai was born in the Hanlin Academy, he is an out-and-out eunuch, and it is obviously unwise to overturn the case for the manna change in front of a eunuch party, Yang Hao bluntly said that he was once a victim, which is not inappropriate, many people are victims of the palace change, the eunuch party will not turn you into an enemy according to whether you are a victim or not, they are concerned about your attitude towards this matter, at this point Yang Hao grasped it very measuredly, he made a few complaints, The reason is that his family was implicated and had to leave Chang'an and move to Datong.
From the prosperous capital of the world, to the bitter border town, who will complain, but did not show his hatred for the eunuchs, he only regretted the bloody palace change, he said drunkly: "The city god fought and harmed us little ghosts, but blessings and misfortunes depend on each other, this may also be a good thing, our family has not produced six or five officials in the capital for three generations, but you see, you see, now I am also the leader of a department, power, status, women, treasures, we have all the things that should be, it can be seen that the things in the world are really indescribable." ”
Wang Liang laughed, sighed with him, and said: "My brother has been away from Beijing for many years, and he may not be very clear about the rights and wrongs of the capital. ”
Yang Hao understood what he meant by the decision, he was testing himself, so he snorted wine and said: "The winner is the king, and the loser is Kou, just those mediocre people in the court, expect them to have a decision, I am afraid we will not see it in this life." ”
Yang Hao used chopsticks to pick up vegetables, but he pinched them off several times in a row, so he laughed at himself: "I'm used to using knives, and now, even if I invite us back to Chang'an, I'm afraid it's enough." ”
Wang Liang smiled reservedly, not agreeing with Yang Hao's remarks, but feeling relieved by Yang Hao's remarks, this is a contented person, without ambition, and can even be said to be a bastard, because that night, the former prince of Chang'an raped the maid who brought him tea in the back hall of the Shuai Mansion with the strength of wine,
This made the leader of the Wuhuai tribe lose face, in order to save face, the leader proposed to marry the maid, and took out a piece of pearls the size of a pigeon egg as a token of marriage, of course, not because of a maid and extraneous branches, Wang Liang decided to let his uncle recognize the woman as a righteous daughter, changed his name to Wang Qiang, and sent her away with a dowry,
After Yang Hao brought her back to Daqingchuan, she was not favored for more than ten days, and then she was tired of it and threw it aside, but the title of the sixth lady on her head allowed her to walk freely in Daqingchuan, so she traveled all over the Wuhuai Department in the name of condolences, and a month later she returned to her hometown and returned to Ning under the escort of Yang Hao's personal soldiers, and in the Marshal's Mansion in Zhongshou City, she carefully reported to Wang Liang what she saw and heard in the Wuhuai Department,
Wang Liang laughed and said I don't have to worry about it, this guy is an authentic bastard, dealing with a bastard is too loose and strict, Wang Dashuai thinks it's not a way, so after some hard thinking and meditation, Wang Dashuai decided to test this bastard again,
The harsh winter of that year finally passed, the Wuhuai Department listened to it, but also suffered heavy losses, in the spring Daqingchuan mourned all over the wilderness, there was no food, no wear, fortunately there was still some gold and silver in Yang Hao's hands, so the tribesmen of the Wuhuai tribe went to the city to buy goods every once in a while,
Wang Liang instructed his subordinates to deliberately create friction, and took the opportunity to arrest a few Wuhuai tribesmen, the reason was to disrupt the market, pick quarrels and provoke trouble, Yang Hao sent people to the Shuai Mansion to beg for release, Wang Liang said that the prince broke the law and the common people are guilty of the same crime, since your ministry is subordinate to my Tang Dynasty, should you abide by the laws of my Tang Dynasty, if I am partial, I am afraid that the people will not obey, and I am not good for you, I am afraid that it is not good, go back and tell your leader, I can't let people go, but I won't let them be wronged, you can rest assured,
When the news came, the Wuhuai tribe was excited, and they kept condemning the Tang people for deliberately framing them, and they asked to send troops to surrender the city, Yang Hao convened the eight elders to discuss, deliberately seemed hesitant, and could not make a decision for three days.
On the evening of the fourth day, Wang Qiang accompanied him and asked him why he was worried, Yang Hao said: "The marshal arrested a few clansmen who were making trouble on the street, and the gang below were shouting to send troops to save people, which made people so upset. ”
Wang Qiang said: "This is good, since it has been attached to the Tang Dynasty, you should abide by the laws of the Tang Dynasty, if you commit a crime, how can you not be punished, these people are really unreasonable." ”
Yang Hao hugged her and said: "These people don't know that the sky is high and the earth is thick, and they are used to it, and now that spring is coming, they are all clamoring to go back to the grassland, and I will give them some color sooner or later." ”
Wang Qiang was pressed under Yang Hao, a little out of breath, and disgusted by his stinky mouth, suddenly rolled his eyes, and said: "I have an idea, I don't know whether to talk about it, or not to talk about it, lest you blame my hen for crowing." Yang Hao said: "Let's hear it." After pleading again and again, Wang Qiang said his plan,
She said: "I see that some people in the tribe have some courage on their own, but they don't know that the sky is high and the earth is thick, if they let them see the military might of the Tang Dynasty, they will be honest as soon as possible." ”
Yang Hao clapped his hands and said: "What a clever plan, in this way, see who dares to make irresponsible remarks." In fact, this idea was not come up with by herself, but he heard it from the Yang Mei sisters when they chatted, and the Yang Mei sisters said: "They are not tired of fighting and killing all day long." Yang Pan said: "They all thought that they were the strongest bear in the forest. Yang Mei said: "If they are allowed to compete with the warriors of Datang, they will know that they are unbearable." ”
Yang Mei once went to Zhongshou City, and was greatly surprised by the flow of people on the street, and after coming back, she kept telling the beauty and majesty of the Tang Dynasty, and Wang Qiang kept blowing the wind in her ears, she has now become an authentic pro-Tang faction in the Wuhuai Department, where someone said that the Tang Dynasty was not, she was the first to stand up and defend,
The conversation of the Yang sisters gave Wang Qiang inspiration, she thought that if she could hold a martial arts competition, so that the people of the Wuhuai tribe could see the military might of the Tang Dynasty, then they would be much more honest in the future, this is called a soldier who surrenders without a fight, she gave her plan treasure to Wang Liang, Wang Liang quickly replied that she was feasible, and asked her to act at the opportunity.
Yang Hao said that this plan was feasible, so he would send Wang Qiang back to Ming Wang Liang and beg him to allow this competition, Wang Qiang said: "This is your man's business, I don't participate, the big man will scold me." Yang Hao said earnestly: "It's not for you to go directly to the handsome, it's for you to find an opportunity to tell your wife, I'm for the sake of foolproof." ”
Speaking of which, Wang Qiang felt that she was not good at refusing to resign, so she returned to Zhongshou City with her personal maid the next day, and as soon as she walked on her front foot, Yang Hao summoned all the soldiers in the army and asked: "Do you still want to go back to the grassland." The crowd replied in unison, "No." Yang Hao said: "Then eat and drink enough, and prepare to fight." ”
