Yan Zong, the prefect of Shangdang County, and Lu Haoran, the prefect of Changping County, are both representatives of the local aristocratic families. One of them was formerly the Biejia of Shangdang County, and the other was the Tongshou of Changping County. If they want to be promoted, they must follow the Sui Dynasty Law.
It is basically impossible to work locally.
The reason why the two of them have climbed up to the position of county guards now is just because of the war in the late Sui Dynasty. There is no other explanation. Lu Haoran was the governor of the county in the tenth year of Daye. He led troops to quell the rebellion.
His position was similar to that of Yan Zong, who became the prefect of Shangdang County one year later than Lu Haoran.
This makes it clear that the two landowners worked together to usurp the county land. After that, they regarded the county land as their own territory and protected it quite tightly.
They didn't have much ambition. When Li Yuan led his troops south, because they didn't have enough troops, and there were Song Laosheng, Qu Tutong and other powerful enemies in front, he didn't pay much attention to them. He only sent Zhang Lun and others to the party.
, two counties in Changping.
Zhang Lun didn't have many troops at that time, so he attacked Yan Zong first. After a few battles, Yan Zong couldn't stand it anymore and asked Lu Haoran for help.
There is Jin land, and it is me and other Shangguan, how can we resist?
So they directly surrendered Li Yuan, and Yan Zong was shocked. This was the rhythm of being attacked from both sides, so he surrendered.
When Li Po led his army to defeat Jinyang, he immediately went south to Hedong and defeated Li Shentong in one battle. His momentum was overwhelming. Within a few months, Hedong was turned upside down.
These two people unanimously surrendered Li Po. According to the habits they have developed, no matter how your king's flag changes, the two counties still have to be governed by us. Otherwise, there are so many princes, who should we vote for?
Needless to say, these two are monsters spawned by the wars in the late Sui Dynasty, and every time there is a war, there will be no shortage of people like this who will defend the territory.
It's just that there are not many people like them who are ignorant of what's going on outside the window and only want to live their own small lives.
A year and a half later, Li Po, who paid little attention to them, finally turned his attention because it was time to weed the house.
Before leading his army to attack Pu Ban, he was already very impatient with these two self-righteous landowners. No matter how capable you are, you can bear such a heavy burden. You don't have that ability, but you still think you are great and no one can touch you. Then
Something is wrong.
In fact, what annoys Li Po the most is that Yan Zong and Lu Haoran obviously regard him as an easy target. He wants food and people without any hesitation, but he still doesn't do business. Where your hometown is, there are many bandits, but you still have to do it.
He sent people to suppress it... Why don't you die...
The next day, Li Po summoned Zhang Lun and Luo Shixin again, and ordered them to organize their troops, and a few days later they followed Pei Shiqing to the party.
What he said was very plain, and Li Po didn't think Yan Zong, Lu Haoran and his like could stir up much trouble, but his last few instructions were murderous.
"This generation lives together in a clan, does not serve the king above, and is uneasy about the common people below. It is really hateful. Here... the Yan clan will punish anyone who complains in the county. Anyone who complains can be killed. There is no need to report it to me, Lu Haoran...
…Select one of their clans to come to Jinyang, and everyone else will follow the same example as Shangdang.”
"After that, General Zhang can be appointed as Shangdang County Lieutenant and take charge of the military affairs of the two counties. You will be given two years to eradicate banditry everywhere and help the governor of Pei County to manage the two counties. Where is Sanlang... everything must be done, leave half of it.
Give your cavalry to General Zhang and then return to Jinyang."
Luo Shixin opened his mouth and smiled. He hadn't moved his muscles and bones for a long time. For a while, even a guy like Li Nian who didn't want his life had to avoid him. You know, when Li Nian broke Li's magical power that day,
Nian, by luck, stole Luo Shixin's limelight.
"Don't worry, brother, I will definitely deliver Yan Zong's head to my brother in a few days."
Zhang Lun didn't hesitate. He already knew who Luo Shixin was, and there were rumors in the army. Once General Luo arrived with his army, the general manager must have murderous intentions.
And this trip... has a strong meaning of killing chickens and frightening monkeys, so Zhang Lun will not be lenient, but he thinks more than Luo Shixin, and with Pei Shiqing in charge, it means enough is enough. In this way, he feels that it is appropriate.
You need to be more precise, otherwise, you may have made a mistake but failed.
Of course, when I think about the military affairs of the two counties, I feel warm in my heart. When I return to my hometown this time, Zhang Lun is no longer the same Zhang Lun.
At noon that day, Li Po's military and political orders were issued.
Pei Shiqing resigned as the prefect of Jiangjun and led his troops to Shangdang. He transferred Zhao Ying, the prefect of Longquan County, to take over the post of prefect of Jiangjun. Pei Yanqian, the governor of Linfen County, replaced him as the prefect of Longquan County.
Mrs. Pei was completely silent, silently accepting all this...
After doing a few things and losing a lot of brain cells, Li Po felt it was time to take a good rest, and immediately ordered all the troops to rest for ten days before preparing to return to Jinyang.
Two more days later, Yang Xu and Zhang Liang finally arrived at Jiangjun, which was surrounded by a large army.
Looking at the continuous military camps, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief. The walk was really uneasy.
Wen Dayou passed away, and Wen Yanbo's soul was buried in Jiexiu. The two of them caught up just in time. Yang Xu was recommended by Wen Yanbo, and he served as the chief clerk under him for a period of time, so it is said that Wen Yanbo
Not only was he kind to him, he was also his superior, and he also respected Wen Yanbo very much as a person.
As for Zhang Liang, Wen Yanbo, as the head of the General Manager's Office, would naturally want to please Zhang Liang when he encountered such a rare opportunity.
So they were not idle in Jiexiu, using their identities to get busy, their legs were exhausted, and they had to continue on their way to Jiangjun.
When they arrived at Linfen, they were just about to have a good rest. Unexpectedly, they only met Liu Han, the prefect, for a short time. When they came out, they encountered someone who blocked the road and complained about injustice.
Zhang Liang thought it was quite novel, and wanted to ask, maybe he could enjoy the pleasure of an upright official solving cases. You know, he was in charge of criminal law when he was with Wei Gong.
But Yang Xu over there was immediately annoyed. He was not someone who came from the grassroots. He was from the Guanwang Yang family, and he was a serious and powerful family in Kansai. Although his ability to survive was a bit poor, he could be said to have
His experience as an official can surpass Zhang Liang's by a few steps.
Without saying a word, Zhang Liang stopped the eager ones and immediately ordered the two guys who complained about the injustice to be caught and sent to the prefect's mansion. Even so, the news about the prefect's mansion soon reached the ears of the two people. What the accusers were complaining about was
Farewell to Pei Yanqian, who is about to leave Linfen County.
Embezzling civilian land? Yang Xu saw so many official strife like this that he didn't pay any attention to it, so he asked Zhang Liang to set off for Jiangjun as soon as possible. No matter who was right or wrong, he had Liu Han, the prefect of Linfen County, in mind.
If you want to use the children of the Yang family as knives, but the people you are dealing with are the children of the Pei family in Hedong, well... you are considered a nobody.
Zhang Liang was confused, but he was a good person and willing to learn. He asked Yang Xu for advice on the way. Yang Xu was made impatient by this person, but along the way, Zhang Liang kept insisting on him.
Not only was he polite and respectful, but he also looked after him a lot, which made the deep-rooted sectarianism in his heart gradually fade a lot.
So he simply said a few words, "Pei Yanqian is the son of Pei Su and the grandson of Pei Xia. Both Pei Xia and Pei Su are quite famous. I have also heard of their reputations, especially Pei Xia, who was the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs of the Northern Zhou Dynasty.
His writings were lucid and his official reputation was honest and capable. His son Pei Su was a disciple of Gao Xi. He was burdened by Gao Xi and died in his prime..."
"How can such a family, so close to Jiangjun, seize people's land and ruin their reputation?"
With these few words, if Zhang Liang asked again, people would ignore him. The family is so tall that if you didn't enter it, you would only watch from a distance outside the door. In fact, it would be difficult to understand what's going on.
Zhang Liang thought about it for a long time and finally understood that Yang Xu was not telling him the Pei family tree. What he really wanted to say was that Pei Yanqian's father and ancestors were not simple, and they were backed by such a big tree as the Pei family.
, The two of us have small official positions now, so we shouldn’t speculate blindly.
Zhang Liang's vision has improved now. The Jinyang ethnic groups had already dazzled him when he was in Jinyang, and now he had a little peek at the Pei family in Hedong... Well, the feeling of being a frog in the well has actually always been with him.
When they arrived at Jiangjun, the two of them already knew that the army was turning around. Yang Xu had nothing to do with it, but Zhang Liang had a lot of regrets. We had attacked Luoyang City. If we had rushed faster, we might have achieved some military exploits...
The two of them completed the handover documents and immediately came to see Li Po together.
As Li Po's reporter, Yang Xu had already corrected his attitude. When he came in front of Li Po, except for the etiquette, he could still see the shadow of the family, but other things such as arrogance were gone.
Li Po's background wasn't that high if we were to count, but he was a member of the Kansai clan after all. Regardless of whether Yang Xu was hypnotizing himself or was forced by current events, he strongly agreed with this.
Yang Xu is very tall and has many characteristics of the Kansai nobles. When they met for the first time, Li Po, who had already known about Yang Xu's origins in letters, was still complaining. He didn't look good, but he was actually a relative of the Sui Dynasty. This genetic optimization was amazing
No way.
But after taking a closer look, Li Po felt a little weird. This man looked ordinary, but he just felt that something was wrong.
As for Zhang Liang, Li Po had met him once. He was like a farmer with long hands and feet, but he was quite handsome and full of cleverness.
characters.
Yes, after returning to Jinyang, the Military Justice Department needs to expand. There are more guards. Some guys have the backing of the guards. The story of you coming and going has already begun. More severe people are needed to suppress them. Zhang
Liang is one of the candidates.
After talking for a few words, Yang Xu handed over Wen Yanbo's letter. Li Po opened it and saw that it was Wen Yanbo who was asking for his resignation, saying that his brother died suddenly, and he was in a state of confusion and felt uncomfortable with the heavy responsibility.
Li Po immediately said in his heart, adding to the chaos...
