Chapter 542: Bring the Huaibei and Shandong counties under the rule of the Jingnan Army
Chapter 542
Yang Qian received a letter from his family in Taiyuan County, where his father Yang Ning was very impressive.
Since the food production in the northern part of Shanxi Province was reduced due to drought, my father wanted to rescue the people and appease the people.
An order was issued to open a warehouse in Taiyuan to provide food for the people. Li Shimo, the governor of Yanmen County, was ordered to open the warehouse.
Wang Rengong, however, refused to open a position without an order from the court. If the public opinion of the people in Mayi became violent, the officials and the people would not be angry at all.
In the end, his father Yang Ning personally led the army and escorted 150,000 shi of grain to Mayi, of which 50,000 shi was distributed to the soldiers and horses in Mayi for military needs.
Another hundred thousand stones were distributed to the people who were waiting for food, so that the people of Mayi and the county soldiers could be said to be grateful to Yang Ning, who stayed behind in Taiyuan.
He had a deep hatred for Wang Rengong, the governor of Mayi, but Wang Rengong, an old stubborn man, not only showed no gratitude at all.
He also personally went to Yang Ning's camp to reprimand Yang Ning for his unauthorized actions, and decided to impeach Yang Ning in Dongdu and open a charity warehouse privately.
This immediately angered Yang Ning's arrogant and powerful generals. If Yang Ning hadn't stopped him in time, he would have become a human meatball on the spot.
However, although Wang Rengong left the military camp safely, the troops and people in Mayi were not happy.
What the hell do you mean Wang Rengong? You just stick to the court's laws and just sit back and watch everyone starve to death.
Now, Yang Liushou personally delivers food to us in Mayi so that everyone can have enough to eat. Not only do you have no sense of gratitude at all.
You actually want to write a letter to impeach Yang Liushou, are you out of your mind?
On that day, five thousand soldiers from the county rebelled and gathered in front of Wang Rengong's mansion to roar, almost rushing into Wang Rengong's mansion.
Fortunately, Yang Ning had not left yet. After hearing the news, he quickly rode into the city.
Finally, a riot that was about to break out was stopped. However, Wang Rengong was so frightened and angry that he suffered a stroke that day and lay down directly, unable to do anything.
However, under the persuasion of a group of Mayi officials, Yang Ning had no choice but to bite the bullet and take charge of the military and administrative affairs of Mayi County.
Fortunately, he was left behind in Taiyuan, and he had the sacred mandate to have control over Mayi and Yanmen.
However, after such a big thing happened, Yang Ning naturally sent someone to pass the news to his own son Yang Qian.

As the leader of the Jingnan Army, Yang Qian still occupied the main position, with his civil and military personnel sitting on both sides of him.
Nowadays, Yang Qian has really many powerful generals under his command. If you add in the group of military generals and civil servants who stayed in the Jiangnan area.
Yang Qian felt that he even had the strength to establish a small court that was no less than that of Dongdu.
However, according to the standard of "accumulate grain widely and become king slowly."
Nowadays, what Yang Qian has to do is still keep a high profile. Being a low-key person and doing things in a high-key manner are the most important codes of conduct at present.
At present, Yang Qian's goal is to stabilize his territory. More than ten counties in the south of the Yangtze River are now under the strict control of the Jingnan Army.
In all areas south of the Yangtze River, any official changes in any county could not escape the eyes of the Jingnan Army.
Also because of Yang Qian's management in Jiangnan, the common people enjoyed such a peaceful environment and atmosphere, so a group of Jiangnan officials were ready to take action.
Not only did they fail to accomplish any major events after Yang Guang's death, but the governors of two counties attempted to get rid of the control of the Jingnan Army and stand on their own feet.
They were sent to prison and replaced by officials under their command. Other than that, there were almost no waves or waves.
In addition, Xingyang County has also become Yang Qian's base in the Central Plains with the surrender of his father-in-law Li Yuan.
"Wang Rengong is so old that he can no longer see clearly the general trend of the world."
Li Yuan, the governor of Xingyang County, now regards Luokou Cangcheng as his own home.
At this moment, from Yang Qian's point of view, Wang Rengong, the prefect of Mayi who sent the two generals Liu Wuzhou and Yuchi Gong to him, still has a good impression.
However, Yang Qian was completely disappointed with Wang Rengong's cunning actions.
Changsun Wuji stroked his goat's beard, looked at the map happily, drew with his hand, and pointed to the northern border road.
"In fact, this is just right. Duke Zheng is in Taiyuan County, and since Mayi County is willing to cooperate with him, Yanmen County will also follow Duke Zheng's lead."
"It can be said that Zheng Guogong already holds most of the land in Shanxi."
"Although our Jingnan Army now only has one county in the Central Plains, Xingyang County, our army's strength and rear reserves are no longer comparable to those of our Jingnan Army."
Yang Qian nodded, looked at the other side of the map, and raised his hand to point.
"In the previous letter from General Qin, Yu Wenhuaji and other rebels took King Qin Hao and his wife out of Jiangdu, entered Xiapi County, and captured Xiapi County five days ago.
According to their route, they should enter Pengcheng County next."
"Now that Li Mi has been recruited by Dongdu, there is no danger of a life-and-death fight between Wagang Village and Dongdu.
In Wagang Village, many leaders fled, and this matter alone was enough to keep Dongdu and Li Mi busy for a while."
"So, I plan to leave some troops and horses to strictly guard Luokou Cangcheng. And I will personally lead the army and rush to Pengcheng County to stop the attack."
"We must stop Na Yu Wenhua and other traitors in the Pengcheng area to prevent them from continuing to cause harm to the world."
#####
Li Jing nodded in agreement, but he felt that it was too monotonous for Xing Dajun to just deal with Yu Wenhua and his party.
"Commander, how about we go west and take back the territory that has been nominally surrendered to Wagang Village?"
"General Li's words make sense. My dear son-in-law, look at Xingyang County, east of Liang County, Pengcheng County, Xiapi County, and more than ten counties north of Donghai County.
Except for the two counties of Donglai and Gaomi, which are still peaceful, the rest have either surrendered to Wagangzhai, or the counties are being invaded by bandits."
"Since the virtuous son-in-law is commanding the elite of Jingnan, it is just right to hold high the banner of Jingnan and call on all the counties to join him..."
"At that time, it will be time to bring the counties in Huaibei and Shandong under the rule of the Jingnan Army to restore peace to the world."
Yang Qian was also moved in his heart, nodded slightly and said, "What do you think?"
"Commander, we all think that this is the best thing to do. After all, our Jingnan army is now strong and strong, and now it has made Wagang Village fearful in Dongdu."
"Go east, how can the other bandits be able to attack them with one blow?"
Seeing that his subordinates and civil servants all joined in, Yang Qian raised his hand to strike and stood up.
"In that case, come General."
"The general is here!" Laizheng hurriedly came out of the crowd and saluted Yang Qian respectfully.
"Since Yu Wenhuaji has captured Xiapi County, his next target must be Pengcheng County. You immediately lead the soldiers and horses from the four towns as the vanguard and rush to Pengcheng County to set up defenses. I will personally command the main force to follow.
.”
"General Li, Prefect Li." Yang Qian's gaze fell on Li Jing and Li Yuan.
"The general is here (the official is here)"
"General Li is responsible for garrisoning Luokou Cangcheng, and Grand Administrator Li leads the troops to guard the front line of Xingze and Xingyang. I also asked the two of you to lean on each other to ward off incoming enemies."
"promise!"
