Chapter 41 is to repay the king's kindness and bravery

In fact, Duan Yining was still a little frightened of Yang Su in his heart, although the Xianbei nobles led by Gao Yang's mother, Empress Dowager Lou, have always looked down on the Han officials in the Northern Qi Dynasty, but this Yang Su is Gao Yang's brother-in-law and the prime minister of the Northern Qi court, and he is still relatively able to speak in front of Gao Yang.

Since Gao Yang defeated a circle of strong enemies two years ago, there is no rival in the world, so he began to enjoy it, ignoring the government all day long, and indulging in wine.

When the three palaces were built in Yecheng alone, 100,000 people were mobilized, which was extremely extravagant. In this kind of Gaoyang's continuous tossing situation, through the efforts of Yang Su and other Han officials, the national strength of the Northern Qi Dynasty can still flourish, it cannot be said that it is not a miracle, the history books all evaluate the Northern Qi at that time, saying that "the Lord is faint at the top, and the government is clear at the bottom." ”

As the commander of Gao Yang's guards, Duan Yi would rather do a lot of ridiculous things, and usually drink together and have a good time.

Originally, no one would say anything if the emperor wanted to drink some wine, but Comrade Gao Yang had a bad 'problem', he likes to kill people when he is drunk, and he drinks for a day, so he gets drunk for a day, and he is depressed if he doesn't kill people for a day.

After Gao Yang got drunk, he liked to use a big long saw to see the living and cook the living, so he specially placed a pot and a big saw on the Jinluan Palace, and when he was drunk, he had to find someone to kill, and sometimes he thought that the person who was sawed was not good (mainly because the call was not bad enough) and he had to go to the hand saw.

Later, there were too many people in the palace, and a group of ministers such as Yang Su, who was helpless, dressed up the death row prisoners as Praetorian Guards and named them "for the imperial prisoners", so that Gao Yang could be killed at any time, and as long as these people did not die for three months, they would be acquitted immediately.

Once Gao Yang planned to go out of the palace to parade, probably to experience the parting feeling with the courtiers, so he prepared to let his spear cavalry besiege and kill the civil and military officials who came to see him off, but later because he was drunk and forgotten, this feat was not realized.

Thinking of Gao Yang's tyrannical methods, even if Duan Yining was Gao Yang's believer, he couldn't help but have a cold war. Although Gao Yang is extremely brutal after drinking now, when he is sober, he can't tolerate sand in his eyes, if he lets Cheng Chong and the others be robbed this time, and the cooked duck flies away, then it is difficult to say what will greet him.

So Duan Yining sharply ordered several generals around him, and said: "Now there are still twenty or thirty miles away from the county town of Changguang, you still have to be careful, send orders to all departments, stay vigilant!" ”

Watching the generals give their hands and go to guard each other, Duan Yining was glad in his heart, this time the army he led was a strong army that had repeatedly ravaged Shanhu and Khitan in the north, and defeated the main forces of Rouran and Turkic.

Originally, I thought that Changguang County was a small people, so the number of anti-thieves hiding in the mountains could not be too much, otherwise they would have gone down the mountain and captured Changguang County and raised the anti-flag.

The situation behind was much more than Duan Yining expected, before the army attacked the base of the anti-thieves, two anti-thief leaders led thousands of people to stop the advance of the army.

The two anti-thief leaders were extremely powerful, and they really killed and injured the 'lives' of many of their subordinates, and once the anti-thief leader with a horse lance almost rushed in front of him.

Duan Yining, who had never really experienced a battle formation, almost fell off his horse and fled, but fortunately, the soldiers under his command blocked the man's charge.

You must know that a war is never won by a few people with superior force, and although the leader of the thieves is brave, the soldiers under his command are not as sophisticated as their own soldiers.

In this way, although many of the soldiers under his command were killed by the two, under the strong overall combat effectiveness of his own army, he completely crushed the opponent's team.

Later, if it weren't for one of the leaders desperately covering up, I am afraid that the two anti-thief leaders could be taken down by themselves and go to receive credit from His Majesty the Emperor.

Thinking of this, Duan Yining looked viciously at the captured leader of the anti-thieves at the back of the team, only to see that the man was tied with iron ropes all over his body, his hair was scattered, and there were still undried blood stains on his tattered body.

If Wang Ze saw it on the side, he would definitely not recognize that it was his second uncle Cheng Chong, and the sergeant in charge of escorting next to him saw Duan Yining looking over, and slapped Cheng Chong a few times, and immediately hit Cheng Chong with a stagger.

Under the vigilance all the way, the Northern Qi army came to Changguang County all the way safely and steadily, and suffered for more than 20 days, so I have to enjoy it now.

Changguang County Shou can be said to have used a whole-body solution, serving Duan Yining and others more comfortably than the uncle, and suddenly felt that although Changguang County is not as prosperous as Yecheng, it can be regarded as a unique flavor.

The county guard will still be thinking and meditating, how to further curry favor with Duan Yining and the others, and the county guard himself is also distressed.

I can't help but make such a big fuss, there is such a large group of anti-thieves in the territory under my jurisdiction, and I have been training troops in Tuntian in the eastern mountainous area for several years, and I don't even know it.

Especially after learning that Duan Yining had seized tens of thousands of stone of grain, more than 200,000 sheep, and nearly 10,000 ploughing cattle and horses from the thieves, the Changguang County Guard regretted all his intestines.

You must know that the Northern Qi Imperial Court is cutting the prefectures and counties during this period, according to the backstage transmission of his own court a few months ago, this time it is going to be serious, at least hundreds of counties, hundreds of counties, and even prefectures have to be cut out.

Changguang County is originally a sparse public, and it must be the one that will be cut out, but if you make great contributions, you will always have a better position in other states and counties for yourself.

As a result, there was such a good opportunity, but I was missed by myself. There are anti-thieves in Changguang County to the court, and it is actually the Taishou of Qi County hundreds of miles away, how does this make the court view itself? If His Majesty the Emperor is not happy, his whole family will be in danger of his life.

Although there are also Han high-ranking officials in the court, but the status of Han officials in the court is challenged by the Xianbei people at any time, not to mention, in addition to relying on high-ranking Han officials to govern the locality, the Northern Qi also sent a large number of their own slaves to the local governance.

In this way, the power of many prefectures and counties in the Northern Qi Dynasty was actually in the hands of some domestic slaves, and the status of these county guards was not as high as imagined.

Thinking of the reappearance of the phenomenon of "house slaves in power" during the 'spring' and autumn periods, and he couldn't even compare with a house slave, Changguang County Shou couldn't help but feel sad in his heart.

But the county guard didn't dare to say anything, and there was no law in Northern Qi now. At the beginning of his reign, Gao Yang ordered the ministers of the DPRK and China to formulate the Northern Qi Law, but it has not been completed until now, and it will not be completed until several years after Gao Yang's death.

This led to the fact that in the first fourteen years of the establishment of the Northern Qi Dynasty, there was no law, and life and death could be decided by the words of the emperor's officials.

Therefore, after Changguang County Shou learned that Duan Yining was Duan Chang's descendant and Gao Yang Xinchen, he hollowed out his mind and wanted to serve Duan Yining and others well.

Therefore, during Duan Yining's two-day stay in Changguang County, all kinds of food and military materials were generally sent to the Duan military camp without money.

Because of the looting of the cottage, Duan Yining's cattle and sheep were not lacking, so they were caged, and they were continuously sent to the barracks.

After another two days, Duan Yining finally thought that he still had to pay tribute to His Majesty the Great Emperor Gao Yang, so he reluctantly left Changguang County.

In a mountain forest, many soldiers are resting, because the mountains and forests are dense, it is impossible to see the specific number, this is Wang Ze's army, they have been waiting here for several days.

"Report ~~~~~~~~", a soldier came quickly, it was the scout chief who had come to report the emergency military situation, and he was covered with twine dyed with 'flowers' and 'flowers' green, and it was really not easy to see if he hid in the grass.

Wang Ze hurriedly summoned the scout to his side and asked, "But the Qi army is out of the city?" ”

The scout Shi Chang replied: "Hui Langjun, the Qi army has already begun to leave the city today, but the Chinese army of the main general of the Qi army did not come out of the city until near noon, and it is still nearly thirty miles away from here!" ”

"Finally out of town!" Wang Ze rubbed his hands together and paced back and forth in the forest, and Cheng Hu next to him also had a 'agitated' face, they had been hiding here for five or six days.

On that day, the army set out to ambush the Northern Qi army on the coast near Long Island, where the terrain was dangerous, and it was convenient to quickly withdraw to the island after a sneak attack.

Who knew that Qu Liulang gave a suggestion when he led the fleet to leave, the army of Northern Qi has been fighting continuously for several years, and the combat effectiveness of the army is very strong, and when passing through here, it will inevitably be prepared, so that its own losses will be great.

The southwest of Changguang County is also the only way for the Northern Qi army, and Shanzhai has discovered a large gold mine there a few years ago, and is also very familiar with the nearby terrain.

Especially when Qu Liulang ran all over the mountains to explore gold mines, he once found an excellent ambush site there, enough to hide the army under Wang Ze's command.

After a few days of vigilant marching before, the soldiers' 'spirit' spirit was exhausted, and they would definitely rest in the county town, and they would definitely not be as vigilant as before after leaving the city, and this was the time for Wang Ze and others to make a move.

A few days ago, Wang Ze led his army to come here at night, in this place nearly forty miles away from the county seat of Changguang. The arrangement was carried out, and they waited for the Qi army to arrive.

Fortunately, there has always been no shortage of chickens, ducks, fish, meat, pigs, cattle and sheep, but there are few night blindness in this era, and they can march at night and arrange fortifications.

originally thought that the Qi army would set off after resting in the county town for a day or two, but who knew that Duan Yining was so comfortable being served by the county guard that he almost forgot to hurry and stayed in the city for four or five days.

Wang Ze, who was waiting, was on fire in his eyes, and at this time, the scout chief brought good news, the Qi army was out of the city, and Wang Ze was 'agitated'.

"Are all the ministries ready?" Wang Ze looked at Cheng Hu.

Cheng Hu knew that he was about to save his father, and his heart was also 'excited', and he replied: "Hui Langjun, all the departments are already in place, just wait for the arrival of the Qi army tomorrow!" ”

Wang Ze nodded and ordered: "Order all departments to check weapons, bows, horses, and instruments again, and listen to my orders at any time!" The scouts report on the movements of the Qi army every hour! ”

The herald took the order, Wang Ze's heart was surging, and he only wanted to open up a base overseas and gradually relocate the Hermes-Epitek to development.

I never thought of a conflict with the countries of the Central Plains, but this time I was raided by the Northern Qi army, resulting in heavy casualties in the cottage.

Fortunately, in order to support themselves, the original people of the cottage were basically relocated, otherwise the loss would have been even more serious.

Since Beiqi doesn't want to live a good life in the corner, then it depends on how my brother will make peace for you and cut off your country in advance.

Wang Ze made up his mind viciously in his heart, raised his head and looked into the distance with a telescope, only to see smoke and dust flying in the sky more than 20 miles away, it was the cavalry of the front army of the Qi army.

Note: 1. In fact, in history, Gao Yang had already cut out three states, one hundred and fifty-three counties, and five hundred and eighty-nine counties in 556 AD.
