The first thousand four hundred and fifty-seven chapters of the old northwest part of the poison kin
In addition to the two counties of Donglai and Gaoxuan controlled by Wang Junlin, the people in Shandong, which is close to Hebei, are still using the most violent methods to resist the tyranny of the Sui Dynasty.
And just in Shandong, two generals have gradually become famous in the past two years because they are very good at fighting rebels, bandits and rebels.
These two generals are Zhang Xutuo and his general Qin Qiong.
Even now, the thieves in Shandong have never defeated Zhang Xutuo even once, but no matter how hard they fight, there are still more and more thieves in Shandong, so Zhang Xutuo and Qin Qiong became the best firefighters in the Sui Dynasty.
Compared with Shandong, which still seemed to be controlled by the Sui Dynasty, Henan, which had completely lost control, is now gradually gaining its own order. This is a sign that Wagangzhai is getting stronger and has gradually taken control of the counties in Henan.
In fact, over the past year, the Wagang Army has been victorious one after another, grabbing food, grass and all kinds of treasures. Their military strength has also been growing continuously, and the population under their rule has also increased.
To the south of Henan, Lianghuai, a land of plenty and a little worse than Jiangnan, also began to be affected by the war in Shandong and Henan, and it also became a mess. After many Shandong bandits were defeated by Zhang Xutuo, they did not dare to go north to face the Poison King.
The Far Eastern Army in King's Landing had no choice but to go south and join Wagangzhai or go directly to the Huaihe River to find a hilltop to continue being king.
In the northwest of the Sui Dynasty, war was also everywhere, but it was completely different from the original historical development. Some people who were originally kings and hegemons did not bother to rise, but they were invaded by Ying Yanglang of Jincheng County in Yongzhou, and Ying of Wuwei County.
Yanglang's general Wu Si, Tianshui's eagle Yanglang's general Shangguanhu led the county soldiers to quickly eliminate them, so the northwest became the only place in the world without big thieves.
Everyone thinks that because the soldiers of the northwest county have been facing the Eastern and Western Turks, Tuyuhun, Tubo and other foreign troops for many years, they have strong combat power, so there are only small thieves in Yongzhou in the northwest and no big thieves. However, few people still remember that Niu Jinda,
Wu Si, Shangguan Hu, and some of the captains under their command, Captain Guo Yi, and the general of the border city were all military attaches and soldiers under Wang Junlin.
Only a few people can clearly see the general trend of the world and know that the troubled times in the late Sui Dynasty have entered a new stage.
Because, in the ensuing war, the peasant uprising led by some reckless heroes who emerged in the early stage were completely reduced to supporting roles, and those who joined in later, or in other words, the remaining ones were the heroes who really wanted to compete for supremacy in the world.
Except for Wang Junlin, each of these people has more or less the shadow of a wealthy family behind them, and even Li Yuan is a powerful family in his own right. These people do not seek food and clothing, but only wealth.
As the saying goes, if Qin loses its deer, the whole world will chase it away.

As the chaos in the world entered a new stage, Jiangnan, which had been relatively peaceful before, also burst into flames. It did not restrain itself at all because Sui Emperor Yang Guang led one hundred thousand forbidden troops to Yangzhou.
But although Wang Junlin was paying attention to the situation in Jiangnan, his eyes were focused on the counties in Shandong, Hebei's neighbors.
However, Wang Junlin does not plan to send troops in the short term. On the one hand, the three newly acquired counties of Hebei and Gaoxuan County need to be digested. On the other hand, there are two figures in Shandong who Wang Junlin needs to worry about their feelings.
Being concerned about the feelings of these two people does not mean that Wang Junlin must give face to these two people, but that he does not want these two people to die or join Wagang Village.
These two people are naturally Zhang Xutuo and the general Qin Qiong who joined him three years ago.
In the past three years, Zhang Xutuo and Qin Qiong have been running back and forth in the wild mountains of Shandong, defeating waves of rebels one after another. In total, they have killed more thieves than Wang Junlin, and they have cut off their heads faster.
The pile is higher than Mount Tai in Shandong.
But in fact, the number of soldiers under Zhang Xutuo and Qin Qiong's command has never exceeded 30,000. It's not that they don't want to increase their number, but they can't afford to support them no matter how many they have, because they have made countless military exploits in the past three years.
, in exchange for only verbal rewards from the emperor and the court, both of them had a bunch of titles on their heads, including titles, honorary posts, and casual officials, but there was no reward or supplement of money, food and grass.
There was no other way. Although Yang Guang heard that the two were loyal to the emperor and patriotic and had killed countless thieves, the court had no money!
"It's fine that Zhang Xutuo and Qin Qiong didn't get supplements of money and food, but why, except for a so-called Shandong envoy, have they not even been promoted to actual official positions in the past three years?" In the Far East Army Council Hall of Fanyang County, Wang
Jun Lin discussed the matter with Du Ruhui, Liu Ziming, and Wei Zheng, who had just been promoted to the governor of Xindu County. At this time, it was Liu Ziming who raised the question.
Du Ruhui looked sarcastic and sneered, and said: "What's so strange about this? There are too few people like Zhang Xutuo and Qin Qiong, and they are not from aristocratic families, and they have no backers in the court, and what they do is so
Dazzling, all of a sudden compared to other county officials and county soldiers. There are too many people who don't want to see them promoted. In addition, even the local wealthy families and people in Shandong don't want them to leave, so it's not worthwhile for them to be excluded and suppressed.
Strange place."
Wei Zheng also said with a sneer: "There are too many people in this world who hope that the world will be more chaotic. These people all dislike Zhang Xutuo and Qin Qiong. Anyway, loyal ministers and good generals will end in tragedy at the end of a dynasty. Your Majesty."
, I guess this Zhang Xutuo may not live long."
Wang Junlin was shocked. He naturally knew that Zhang Xutuo would soon die under Li Mi's plot in Wagang Village, but Wei Zheng didn't know!
Sure enough, Wei Zheng's ability to leave his name throughout the ages is more than just a mirror through the ages. His vision and insight are also good, and he is definitely rare in the world when it comes to his mind.
"Recently, the Military Intelligence Bureau has collected a lot of intelligence from the counties in Shandong. Although Zhang Xutuo and Qin Qiong are killing thieves everywhere, Shandong has been wiped out for thousands of miles. The thieves are always defeated and reunited, never ending, and like nine heads
It's like a snake. Once you cut off one head, another one will pop up." Wang Junlin said with emotion.
"What's the use of Zhang Xutuo and Qin Qiong being good at fighting? The thieves are not all common people who are forced to live without a way to survive. The thieves will naturally be suppressed more and more. In the end, even some big families in Shandong have started to revolt.
, some Shandong surnames began to appear frequently in the rebellious army." When Du Ruhui said the last sentence, his eyes turned cold.
"Zhang Xutuo and Qin Qiong know this truth, but the problem is that they are just generals, and they are the kind of military generals who are loyal to the court. Therefore, even though they have military power, they have never interfered in local political affairs, and even food and grass have not been used until now.
He was controlled by local civil servants and aristocratic families." Wang Junlin recalled that he had a good relationship with Qin Qiong back then, but the latter seemed to have noticed that he was rebellious and never came to join him. Instead, he followed Zhang Xutuo to kill thieves and serve the country.
