Great Warriors of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 451 Pei Xingyan

I'm really sorry for the late update today, because the child cried all night last night and didn't go to bed until six o'clock. Sorry, but today is still at least five o'clock!
Yang Guang summoned Su Wei, Pei Yun, Pei Shiju, Yu Shiji, Yu Wenshu and others to discuss matters.

"Luo Cheng made a victory. He said that when he entered Hebei, he regained the Pingyuan County City that was captured by bandits. He beheaded more than 13 bandits and captured more than [-] prisoners. He also swept up the bandits in Douzigang and captured more than [-]. I was surprised. It turned out that there were no I heard that the thieves have developed to such a degree, and the thieves have developed so fast? Now they can break through a canal-heavy city like Pingyuan County City?"

Yu Shiji, the Minister of Internal History, is usually responsible for forwarding memorials for the emperor. He always has to cover up the reports on bandits in various places, and often puts away some more serious memorials and does not submit them. Serious, or good news for exterminating bandits.

Hearing the emperor's question, he said, "Bandits are always just bandits, and they have become popular. Officials from all over the country are going after them with all their strength, and they will be wiped out soon. Don't worry, Your Majesty!"

But Yang Guang is not so easy to fool. If ordinary people report, he may have doubts, but after all, Luo Cheng is his most trusted general, and Luo Cheng has the right to report directly, so his memorial can be written directly without Yu Shiji. Submit to his case.

"But Luo Cheng reported that 20 bandits captured Pingyuan County in just three days, and there were no fewer than 30 bandits gathered in Douzigang, and Gaojibo, it is said that there were no fewer than [-] bandits gathered. In this world Why are there so many bandits all of a sudden? Also, Luo Cheng killed nearly ten thousand bandits in two battles and took more than one hundred thousand prisoners. I was shocked. How could there be so many bandits in such an important city like Pingyuan County ?”

Yu Wenshu over there immediately said, "I think it must be Luo Cheng's false report. How can there be so many bandits in the world? There are only eight counties in Pingyuan County, and the total population is less than 50 households. How can there be such a thing?" [-] thieves and bandits? You also beheaded the false king, eight false princes and thirteen princes, why have these false kings and princes never been reported before?"

"One more thing, if my memory is correct, Luo Cheng is General You Xiaowei, who is appointed as the ambassador of comfort and arrest in Henan, and the prefect of Donglai County. But whether it is the ambassador of comfort and arrest or the prefect of Donglai County, it should be in the He was serving in Henan, why did he go to Hebei to suppress the bandits, and Luo Cheng led his troops into Hebei, did he report to the imperial court, did he get permission?"

Yu Shiji over there also said, "Your Majesty, Yang Xuangan, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, reported that Luo Cheng was proud of his achievements, killed people and exterminated his family because of trivial matters, secretly recruited soldiers and horses in Henan, and arbitrarily appointed officials and posts to relatives and friends. Suspicion of selfishness. Now leading the army across the Yellow River, there is even more suspicion of privately dispatching troops, indiscriminate hunting and killing, killing good men and pretending to be rewarded."

"Yes, there must be bandits, but they will never be as many as Luo Cheng said. There are hundreds of thousands of bandits at every turn? There are 50 bandits in a plain county, and there must be more than [-] counties in Henan and Hebei. How many bandits? It must be an exaggeration. There are bandits, but they are definitely not as serious as what he said. And Luo Cheng privately owns a large number of troops in Henan, deploys troops at will, and even crosses Hebei without orders. However, His Majesty has to guard against serious violations of the system and laws."

Several ministers gathered to besiege Luo Cheng there, all using Luo Cheng's private deployment of soldiers and horses to talk about the matter, and also said that his memorial was unreasonable, and it was impossible for there to be so many bandits and so on.

In the end, if every general is like Luo Cheng, if he wants to recruit soldiers and horses, he will recruit troops and horses, and if he wants to cross the border, wouldn't it be a mess?

Where is the legal system?

"This Luo Cheng is too much. Relying on the merits of the last conquest of the Liao Dynasty and relying on His Majesty's trust, he is so unscrupulously greedy for credit. Killing a few bandits, he dares to claim to have wiped out 50 million bandits and beheaded a few of them. Luo, it's too arrogant to dare to say that eight false kings and thirteen false princes were killed in a row."

After thinking about it, Yang Guang felt that what these confidant ministers said was also reasonable.

How can there be 50 bandits in a small plain county?
Besides, in Pingyuan County, there are eight anti-kings and thirteen anti-gongs, which is too unreasonable.

"Your Majesty, although Luo Cheng has some skills in fighting, he is not experienced enough to serve as the chief of a twelve counties in Henan Province."

"Well, then let Luo Cheng go back to Donglai to concentrate on preparing for the navy's expedition. As for the post of Henan consolation ambassador, Dr. Guanglu and Huben Lang general Pei Renji will take over. The Henan arrest ambassador will be the deputy envoy Zhang. Xu Tuo took over."

Fortunately, although the emperor believed that Luo Cheng was greedy for rewards and falsely reported his achievements, but because Luo Cheng had made great contributions to the Liao Dynasty and was still young, he did not convict him because of this. He just asked Luo Cheng to hand over the two envoys and then go to Donglai to do His prefect, who is also the commander of the [-] navy, is preparing for the navy's eastward expedition.

In a word, Luo Cheng, you are too young, you should concentrate on fighting in the Eastern Expedition. As for the consolation and suppression of bandits in Henan, you should leave it to other people.

No reward no punishment.

When the decree was sent to Pingyuan County, Luo Cheng was about to send troops into Gaojibo to suppress the bandits.

As a result, a decree was issued, and his positions as Henan Comfort Ambassador and Arrest Ambassador were gone, and the power to inherit the title was naturally gone.

"Does your majesty believe that I have wiped out so many bandits and killed so many anti-kings?"

The angel smiled wryly and said, "The number of bandits wiped out in Pingyuan County is really astonishing."

Luo Cheng understood it all at once. It is estimated that the emperor is not aware of the news of bandits in various parts of the Central Plains at all, and thought that it is a peaceful and prosperous age.

"The hundreds of thousands of thieves and bandits in Pingyuan County are not all locals of Pingyuan County. This is the gathering of dozens of thieves and bandits from Henan and Hebei. Don't you know His Majesty?"

"Shuai Luo." The new consolation ambassador, Pei Renji, also comforted Luo Cheng with a wry smile. He came from Zhuo County, but when he arrived in Pingyuan County, he saw the prisoner camp outside the city, saw the newly repaired Pingyuan County city, and asked casually. After a while, you will know that the previous Great Plains Victory is real.

But so what?
"Forget it, General Pei, I will hand over the task of comforting the ambassador to you."

Pei Renji is also a general of Guanlong. His grandfather was a general of hussars in the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and his father was also a general of the Zhou and Sui dynasties. Noble.However, Pei Renji used to be Li Jing's old subordinate, and Li Jing was Luo Cheng's teacher, so he was very close to Luo Cheng.

"The main reason is that Yu Shiji and Yu Wenshu spoke ill of Luo Shuai in front of His Majesty, otherwise this would not have happened."

"Well, I took note."

Luo Cheng was very annoyed in his heart, but he looked calm on his face.

Things had already happened, and he couldn't change it. Who made him meet an emperor like Yang Guang? Although Yang Guang often acted like a bully, in fact, the emperor Yang Guang was very paranoid.

"Da Lang, come and meet Luo Shuai."

Pei Renji recruited a young man, probably younger than Luo Cheng.

"This is a dog. He is eighteen this year. He is quite brave. He learned how to ride and shoot a horse when he was a child. This time he heard that I came to Henan, so he insisted on following me. He also said that he would follow Luo Shuai to fight in Liaodong, but he didn't know Luo. Is Shuai willing to take this kid in?"

Luo Cheng looked at this tall young man, "What's Da Lang's name?"

"Back to Luo Shuai, my name is Xingyan and I am Yuanqing."

Luo Cheng was stunned for a moment, Pei Xingyan was named Yuanqing?

"What weapon do you use?"

"Ma Yang!"

Luo Cheng let out a groan, thinking that luckily he didn't use a hammer.

As a result, Pei Xingyan said again, "I'll use a lance right away, but the short weapon is a hammer. I heard that the commander's melee weapon is also a hammer. I hope to have the opportunity to get the commander's advice on how to use a hammer."

Luo Cheng wanted to scratch his head, Pei Yuanqing with the hammer.

　Brothers, I have a bold idea recently, I want to rush down the boutique.An expert pointed out to me that if I can crowdfund a Silver League, then the site-wide bombing effect will be extremely strong, and tens of thousands of favorites can be raised, and then there is hope for becoming a master.So, Muzi would like to ask, brothers who are supportive, three to five yuan is not too little, fifty or sixty is not too much, if there are brothers who are willing to support, you can join the group and discuss first.Thank you!
