Chapter 146 - Secretly arranged

Five surnames and seven hopes!

This is a behemoth-like existence, a product of the development of the world to the peak of its peak.

Emperor Yang Guang of the Sui Dynasty was jealous of them to the core, and launched three expeditions to Goguryeo, which did not have dark thoughts of weakening the five surnames and seven hopes.

It was in the later Tang Empire that the five surnames and seven wangs did not give the Li royal family face at all, not only firmly controlling the local power, but even the huge interest groups with which the dragon and the phoenix grandson wanted to marry them.

And what makes people feel strange is that there is almost no trace of the five surnames and seven wangs in the Datang world, as if they don't exist at all.

Regardless of the competition for hegemony in the world described in the book, or the competition between the three schools of Buddhism and the Demon Dao, there are no other heavyweight families participating in it except for the four major lords.

One Wen Xi Pei is still stained with the light of the evil king Shi Zhixuan, otherwise he would not even have a chance to show his face.

But in fact, the civil rights of the entire northern region are almost in the hands of the family headed by the five surnames and seven wangs, and without their support, it will be difficult to carry out the imperial decree.

The chaos in Hebei is also extremely strange, the government and local garrisons are fighting with the bandits in full swing, while the clans of Hebei are still living a peaceful and peaceful life, even if the industry and territory are all within the influence of the bandits, there is not the slightest mistake.

If there is no problem here, Lin Sha will not believe it.

Only by witnessing the destructive power of the chaos in Hebei can we understand that the strength of Hebei's bandits is no worse than that of Shandong, which has made the most trouble in the Central Plains.

At every turn, tens of thousands of horses and horses swept all the way like locusts crossing the border, and both the government and the people suffered from it. There were no accidents in a few of the five surnames and seven hopes.

Think about it again in history, Hebei has experienced Yang Gongqing's bandits. Wang Xuba's bandits, Wei Dao'er's bandits, and finally Dou Jiande's scourge. It's just a mess of porridge in the northern essence area, and it's so bad that it can't be touched.

But that's the case, after the founding of the Tang Dynasty and the mastery of the power of the world, how the five surnames and seven hopes should still be, they were not affected at all because of the change of emperor status.

Even the prince wants to marry the concubine of the five surnames and seven hopes, and the princess wants to marry the concubines of the five surnames and seven hopes, these top families do not give the slightest face, and the emperor hates it so much that he is helpless.

Think about how the clan in history was destroyed, and it was not under the impact of waves of warlords in the chaotic times at the end of the Tang Dynasty. Is the complete decline of the Saga gate valve a thing of the past?

But at the end of the Sui Dynasty, the world was turbulent, and the specific local rebel armies were wave after wave, as if the weeds in the field could not be wiped out, and the entire Great Sui River and Mountains also collapsed in this continuous war.

What makes people feel very strange is that the five surnames and seven wangs, who should have been greatly impacted by the chaotic army, have kept their strength intact and their control over the place has not been weakened at all.

Lin Sha has always been very confident in his own strength, even if he suffered a big loss at the hands of the evil king Shi Zhixuan, he was miserable. He still has the hole cards and has not played a fight.

But this time in the face of the rebels in Hebei, he had to be cautious.

The sudden appearance of the crossbow on the battlefield in Hebei was enough to threaten his life, if the relationship here was not straightened out. Make the situation clear thoroughly, if you are forced to a dead end by 'your own people' one day and lose your life, it will be more than worth the loss.

Interrogated the captives of the Wang Suba bandits. Among them, there are also several who are said to be Wang Suba's absolute henchmen. But they didn't have the slightest understanding of these situations, and they didn't know at all that the army was actually mixed with crossbowmen in the army who made the martial arts masters smell the color!

Of course. The three thousand Youzhou Iron Cavalry spent a lot of energy and promised a lot of prisoners. After that, they were all sent to the newly established pastures and forest farms in Youzhou for labor reform, and it took a full month to ask, and finally let Lin Sha and his subordinate generals know some clues.

According to the vague information provided by some of the rebel captives, Wang Xuba's rebel army did hide a number of mysterious people with extremely low-key behaviors.

They are self-contained and do not want to interact with other people at all.

There are traitors who have worked in big families to confess, these mysterious people who have low-key behavior, and the aura on their bodies is very similar to the guards of big families. It's just a pity that these people are too low-key, basically don't contact with outsiders, and Wang Xuba's department is expanding too fast, and many people don't know each other and can't inquire at will.

Finally, another henchman of Wang Suba couldn't resist the temptation to live, and revealed some news.

Wang Xuba's subordinates have a group of mysterious people, and they have no contact with ordinary non-thieves in their independent camp, and even their henchmen are not qualified to contact.

These mysterious figures were personally managed by Wang Xuba, and the allocation of logistics and materials was also done by those mysterious people, so there was no chance for ordinary thieves to come into contact at all.

That's all the news that can be found.

Lin Sha was also satisfied with this, if things were really as he guessed, some of the puzzling situations could be explained.

What he didn't know was that after the king raised the banner and rebelled in history, he not only claimed to be the king of Mantian, but later his strength swelled and his subordinates were tens of thousands, and he built a Yan country, but he was unfortunately hit by a stray arrow when attacking Youzhou.

If Linsha had known anything about this history, he would have explained it all with conspiracy theories.

Wang Xuba is the spokesperson for the interests launched by the Hebei clan, and later his strength swelled quickly and wanted to get out of the control of the forces behind him, but he was found to have done it secretly, and then the Hebei clan supported another spokesperson for them to drive.

……

In mid-April, the 3,000 Youzhou Iron Cavalry stranded in Shanggu City suddenly dispatched to block the Wei Dao'er Division, another major rebel armed force in Hebei, and the two sides suffered a major defeat in the field.

Wei Dao'er's men and horses escaped less than 5,000, and the rest were either captured or killed in battle and fled. This time, the Youzhou Iron Cavalry did not have the slightest intention of letting go, and directly drove the remnants of Wei Dao'er, who were frightened, out of the Hebei border at a glance.

At the same time, the Youzhou army suddenly sent a thousand-strong cavalry to avoid the ears and eyes of the snake in Hebei day and night, and suddenly killed the valley where Wang Suba's remnants were hidden. A big battle once again hit Wang Suba's remnants, and Wang Suba, who had not recovered from his injuries, panicked and led less than a thousand people to guard and get out in embarrassment.

But just when the cavalry that suddenly arrived in Youzhou was ready to be killed, the officials of the nearby local government suddenly arrived, and they were to catch the wind and wash the dust and put on a celebration banquet, and there was a warm reception of the local squire, and they dragged the thousands of horsemen in Youzhou for a few days, and when the Youzhou cavalry got out, where could I still see the ghost of Wang Xuba?

At the same time, Hebei officialdom and the people suddenly spread rumors that the Youzhou Army had taken a fancy to the territory of Hebei and was ready to occupy Nestle and did not plan to leave, and at the same time had to scrape a layer of land in Hebei.

At this time, the Hebei government was in a panic, the people who were persecuted by the bandits were also panicked, and the local squires and landlords were also uneasy, but it didn't take long for a mainstream saying to spread quickly throughout Hebei, which means that anyway, the bandits are basically subsided, and the Youzhou Sui military should be sent out of the country as soon as possible.

……

"Horses, these guys want to cross the river and tear down the bridge?"

In the temporary camp of the iron cavalry in Youzhou, Dingxian County, the atmosphere in the main tent of the Chinese army was hot, and the guards and generals scolded fiercely as if they had eaten gunpowder, their faces were full of anger, and their eyes were full of anger.

"What's there to be angry about, it's just to be expected!"

Seeing that his younger brothers were angry one by one, Lin Sha frowned and said angrily.

"Even if it's expected, they're going too far, aren't they?"

Wang Er, the commander of the personal guard, looked unhappy and said angrily.

"What's not to do?"

Lin Sha glared at this guy fiercely, and asked in a deep voice: "Did the people sent to Shanxi reply to the letter?" ”

"I've already been in touch with Wei Dao'er!"

Seeing that Lin Sha asked solemnly, Wang Er didn't dare to make any more trouble, so he reluctantly replied: "That guy Wei Dao'er is interesting, and there is no brother sent to be embarrassed!" ”

"Ask clearly, Wei Dao'er really has a connection with the Turks?"

Lin Sha's eyes flickered, and his tone suddenly pressed extremely low and asked in a cold voice.

"Ask clearly, Wei Dao'er does admit that he has a connection with the Turks!"

Speaking of this, Wang Er's face was full of murderous intent, and he replied with a heavy heart.

"Damn fellow, how dare you collude with Turkic foreigners!"

The generals in the tent were all shocked when they heard this, and they all scolded and were angry.

"Okay, you don't need to be angry, there will be a chance to clean up this guy in the future!"

Lin Sha frowned and shouted, and instantly suppressed the dissatisfaction in the tent, turned back to Wang Er and said coldly: "A certain request, Wei Dao'er will not agree?" ”

"Promised!"

Wang Er nodded solemnly, an inexplicable light flashed in his eyes, and he said in a deep voice: "The brother who contacted Wei Dao'er replied, and Wei Dao'er promised to pass on the first-hand information of the Turks for us, but we also have to ......."

As he spoke, he paused deliberately, glanced at the guards present, and loudly ordered the guards outside the door to watch the door, and then said coldly: "Don't hurt his people!" ”

"Promise him!"

Lin Sha nodded without thinking about it, his eyes flashed with murderous intent, and the temperature in the big tent dropped instantly, causing the faces of the generals to change slightly, and they looked at General Pingbei with such a blatant killing intent on their faces one by one, and their hearts were turbulent, but they didn't know what to say.

"Let the brothers cheer up, take all the captives with us, and set off for Youzhou immediately!"

Slowly glancing at the cronies and generals present, Lin Sha didn't say anything to explain, and immediately ordered with a wave of his big hand.

"Honorable Order!" A cadre of generals and schools intervened and promised together.

Suddenly, the sound of the calling horn sounded in the barracks, and the entire temporary camp was suddenly overturned on their backs.

On the second day, the three thousand Youzhou iron horsemen, who packed up all the accompanying materials, set off after having breakfast, and set off without saying hello to the local government in Hebei...... (To be continued.) )
