Zhang Xutuo's winning streak still failed to stop the pace of Emperor Yang Guang's southern tour...... No one could stop his determination to go south, Zhao Cai, the general of the Right Waiting Guard, begged him to cancel the southern tour and was imprisoned for punishment, Jianjie Wei Ren Zong wrote to dissuade him, and was killed with a cane in the court, Fengxin Lang Cui Minxiang knelt down and begged Yang Guang to stay in Beijing and was executed, Fengxin Lang Wang Airen wrote to dissuade the southern tour and was executed, and someone in Liang County wrote to dissuade him and was still executed.

Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty has decided to go south, no one can dissuade him, at this time Fan Zigai has died of illness, he ordered the internal history of the Dugu Zhen, Guanglu Doctor Duan Da, the Ministry of Proofreading and Civil Affairs Shangshu Weijin, the right Wuwei general Huangfu Wuyi, the right Shilang Lu Chu and others to assist the Yue King Yang Tong to sit in the capital.

Yang Guang no longer has any nostalgia for Luoyang, and he left a parting poem to the palace people: , I dream of Jiang, and the expedition to Liao is also accidental.

On October 25, the 11th year of the Great Cause, Yang Guang rushed to the south to patrol the Jiangdu before the Yellow River froze under the pretext of inspecting the southern counties, and the 200,000-strong army escorted Yang Guang's hundreds of large ships and marched towards the Jiangdu.

Yang Guangnan's tour of the river capital, like a spark igniting the boiling oil pot, the trend of rebellion in the world is becoming more and more rapid, and the major forces of the Sui Dynasty are ready to move, at this time it is like the eve of a storm, and the world hegemony is about to break out.

On the tenth day of Yang Guang's boat trip, at the beginning of November, Yang Yuanqing also began to act, Lingwu County, 20,000 cavalry was speeding south, dusty, waving flags, Yang Yuanqing, the governor of Fengzhou, personally led the army to Lingwu County.

As early as two years ago, Yang Yuanqing signed a defense agreement with the six counties of Guanbei and included Lingwu County in his sphere of influence, but after all, it was only a kind of military control, and the people and property of Lingwu County were still in the hands of the imperial court.

Although Yang Yuanqing has long been looking at Lingwu County, but the time is not ripe, he can only wait patiently, when the news of Yang Guang leaving the capital came, Yang Yuanqing knew that the time was ripe, he did not hesitate to lead the army south, he wanted to fully annex this piece of stuff he had been waiting for many years in the south of the Yangtze River here The land is fertile, the light is sufficient, the water source is abundant, the Qin Canal and the Han Canal have not been destroyed by the Shan Yuan Hu people for hundreds of miles, and the irrigation is very convenient, so that the grain here has a high and stable yield, two crops a year, and there is no rice in the Hetao Plain, and the product is very rich.

Lingwu County, Yang Yuanqing has been thinking about it for a long time, in the wind and sand, Yang Yuanqing took the lead, and behind him was hundreds of big eagles, and the red eagle banner of the Sui army in Fengzhou hunted and flew away.

Yang Yuanqing was wearing a golden helmet, wearing Mingguang armor, a red cloud horse under his crotch, his eyes were grim, majestic, and behind him were hundreds of generals and guards, his long lance was sharp, and the sword flashed towards Huile County with a murderous spirit.

There were not many troops stationed in Lingwu County at this time, about 8,000 people, of which 3,000 county soldiers and 5,000 Fengzhou army troops had been completely controlled by Fengzhou, Taishouqiu and his subordinates only had hundreds of servants, and the defense of Lingwu County had nothing to do with him.

Fortunately, there are more than 20,000 households in Lingwu County, with a large population, which also keeps him busy every day, which slightly alleviates his depression.

In the morning, Qiu He, as usual, wrote a debriefing report in the county office, the time has reached November, and it is time to debrief again.

Qiu He has written more than 10,000 words, and then write more than 1,000 words to finish, at this moment, his soldiers Cao Shen military Liang Division are all in a hurry, Liang Shi are all local heroes in Lingwu County, superb martial arts, once served as the guard of Yang Han, the king of Qi, and was recommended by the king of Qi to serve as the Lingwu County Ying Yang Lang will be degraded because of the case of the king of Qi...... "has been living in seclusion at home."

After Qiu He took office, in order to establish a relationship with the local Haoqiang, he appointed Liang Shidu as the Lingwu County soldier Cao Shen military, commanding the five hundred government soldiers, the equipment of the five hundred government soldiers is no different from the ordinary county soldiers, in fact, Qiu He established his own county soldiers in disguise, because the number is not large, so Fengzhou did not interfere.

Liang Shidu ran into the room and said, "Envoy, Yang Yuanqing has arrived at the city with the army......

Qiu and 'Ah! He stood up with a bang, his expression was extremely nervous, since he took office, Yang Yuanqing had never been to Lingwu County, and when he arrived at this time, it may not be a good car, Qiu He had an ominous premonition.

But in a moment, Qiu He's heart calmed down, since Yang Yuanqing came, he had to deal with it, and he said to Liang Shidu: "Immediately call the officials and wait for my orders at any time." ”

Liang Shidu hesitated for a moment and said: "Envoy, can you not see Yang Yuanqing, I had a personal vendetta with him in the past with the King of Qi."

Qiu He nodded, "Okay, you can avoid it!" ”

Liang Shidu bowed and retreated, Qiu He tidied up his clothes, and walked out quickly.

Fengzhou Sui army has been stationed in the military camp outside the county, Yang Yuanqing led more than 1,000 guards and generals to ride to Huile County, at the gate of the city, just met Qiu He with the county officials, as well as Huile County Order, the county Cheng came out to greet.

"Lingwu County is too shou qiu and welcomes the arrival of Chief Yang Steward!"

Qiu He bowed down and gave a salute, if he was on the same level as Yang Yuanqing from the position of a loose official, but Yang Yuanqing's title was higher than him, and the chief manager was one level higher than Taishou, and more importantly, Lingwu County was actually controlled by Yang Yuanqing, and Qiu He had to bow his head when he was under the eaves.

Yang Yuanqing smiled and said: "Manager Qiu, we met back then, and we haven't been separated for many years. ”

Yang Yuanqing refers to the assassination of Yang Zhao by He Ruobi back then, and it was Qiu He who led the army to solve it, Qiu He sighed slightly: "Yes!" Eleven years have passed, and Mr. Yang has become a pillar of the country, and I am already old. ”

"General Qiu is over sixty years old, he should live at home, enjoy the joy of family, and serve as a taishou in Lingwu, he has indeed wronged the old general."

Yang Yuanqing had something to say, which made Qiu He's heart skip a beat, he looked at Yang Yuanqing, only to see a cold murderous intent flashing in his squinted eyes, Qiu He's heart began to sink downward, and he knew that Yang Yuanqing was really not good.

At this time, he suddenly found that there was a group of civil officials standing next to Yang Yuanqing's team, which were very familiar, and if he looked closely, it turned out to be the county commanders, county officials, county lieutenants and chief bookkeepers of Lingwu, Huaiyuan, and Hongjing counties, and they also came.

The area of Lingwu County is a long type, and there are six county towns of Lingwu, Huaiyuan, Hongjing, Huile, Feng'an, and Mingsha within eight hundred miles to the north and south.

"Manager Yang, please go into the city!"

"Please!"

More than 1,000 cavalry surrounded Yang Yuanqing and walked towards the city, Yang Yuanqing and others just entered the city, and a team of cavalry rushed to the south, escorting and chasing seven or eight officials This is the officials of Feng'an County and Mingsha County have arrived, so far, all the magistrates of Lingwu County have arrived.

Yang Yuanqing rode a horse on the street in the city and walked slowly, on both sides are dense shops and houses, Huile County is the seat of Lingwu County, the city is quite magnificent, the circumference is nearly more than 30 miles, it is a rare big city in the six counties of Guanbei, the river in the city is vertical and horizontal, the big trees are dense, although it has entered the winter, ten thousand trees are withered but can still imagine the beautiful scenery when the spring returns.

The population in the city is not large, there are only more than 4,000 households, most of the land is empty, or turned into farmland, or overgrown with weeds, Yang Yuanqing nodded, this is a city that can have great development, at this time, he suddenly remembered a person, Liang Shidu This person was in Lingwu County at the end of the Sui Dynasty and became one of the princes fighting for hegemony, he had seen him in the capital before, and now he should be in Lingwu County.

"Qiu Taishou, do you know a person named Liang Shidu?" Yang Yuanqing asked with a smile.

Qiu He was shocked, he didn't dare to lie, so he said: "Of course I know, he is the soldier of this county." ”

"He's here now, and I'd like to see this old man."

Qiu He didn't want to betray Liang Shidu, so he said lightly: "It's really unfortunate, he was ordered to lead the officials to check the freezing situation along the river, and he happened to be not in the county." ”

"Oh! It's a bit of a pity. ”

Yang Yuanqing turned back to the guards beside him and said, "Keep an eye on me, wait for this person to come back, and bring him to see me." ”

Qiu He secretly screamed a fluke, it seems that Yang Yuanqing really has bad intentions towards Liang Shi, fortunately he has a heart, he quickly glanced at an entourage, the entourage understood, slowed down, and disappeared unconsciously while people didn't pay attention to him.

When everyone came to the county office, Yang Yuanqing instructed the county officials and county officials to go to the council and sit down, and he and Qiu He came to the next room.

The two sat down, Yang Yuanqing groaned, and said frankly: "Envoy Qiu, I came this time to prepare to officially expand the jurisdiction of the Fengzhou Governor's Mansion and include Lingwu County in the jurisdiction of the Fengzhou Governor's Mansion. ”

This is a naked annexation, Qiu He couldn't hold back the anger in his heart, stared at Yang Yuanqing and said, "Do you agree to do this?" Does the imperial court agree? ”

Yang Youqing said lightly: "Does it make sense for Qiu Taishou to say these words? ”

Qiu He was deflated all of a sudden, Yang Yuanqing dared to do this, he wouldn't care about the thoughts of the saint and the imperial court, and after a while, he asked, "Then what should I do?" ”

"There are three choices about Qiu Zhijun's stay and stay, the first is to accept the reality, Qiu Zhijun is transferred out of Lingwu County, we have other arrangements, the second is that I send Qiu Zhijun home for retirement, Fengzhou has its own severance pay, and the last is Qiu Zhijun chose confrontation, and we have to make a tough posture, these three choices, Qiu Zhijun can choose one of them."

Qiu He bowed his head and was silent, Yang Yuanqing stood up and said, "Qiu Envoy Jun think about it!" I went to a meeting with the county officials. ”

Yang Yuanqing walked to the door, only to hear Qiu He's long sigh behind him, "Okay! I'll pick the second one. ”

Yang Yuanqing smiled knowingly, this is a wise move.

The council hall was filled with more than 20 county officials from six counties, some were silent, some were whispering, but whether it was worry or expectation, one thing everyone knew was that Lingwu County would no longer belong to the imperial court from now on, but under the jurisdiction of Yang Yuanqing, in other words, Lingwu County had been annexed by Yang Yuanqing.

At this time, the door opened, Yang Yuanqing and Fengzhou high-ranking official Zhang Ting walked in, and the meeting hall suddenly fell silent, Yang Yuanqing sat down and smiled at everyone: "Let me introduce you first." ”

He pointed his finger at Zhang Ting, "This was originally Zhang Sima of the Fengzhou Governor's Mansion, and from now on, he will officially be appointed as the Taishou of Lingwu County, appointed by me Yang Yuanqing." ”

He looked at the county officials with complicated eyes and said: "If the county envoys are willing to stay and continue to govern the place, I welcome it very much, and I will treat it as always, if you don't want to stay, I will not be reluctant, I will give a generous coin gift to Lingwu County." ”

Yang Yuanqing took out a stack of documents, and said slowly: "If you are willing to stay, you can sign this letter of allegiance, it needs to be explained that everyone is still a Sui official, and I, Yang Yuanqing, am also a Sui minister, but you no longer have direct contact with the imperial court, and everything must be reported to Taishou, that's all." ”
