Great Warriors of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 582 The King of Changle

Although Wang Fubao dressed like a squire and landlord, Luo Cheng knew very well that this former subordinate was now a general under the command of Changle Wang Dou Jiande, one of the three heroes in Hebei.

Dou Jiande now dominates Hebei and dominates Douzigang. It is said that he has [-] elite soldiers and more than [-] soldiers.

And he, Luo Cheng, is a general of the imperial court.

It is indeed intriguing that a grass bandit and rebel came to give him three thousand shi of food and grass.

Luo Cheng looked at Yang Shanhui. After all, Dou Jiande's territory now spans across Pingyuan and Bohai counties, and Yang Shanhui is the prefect of Pingyuan County.

Yang Shanhui whispered helplessly to Luo Cheng, "Since he is willing to give it away, Duke Chu might as well accept it."

"Are you a harmonious family?"

It's not a harmonious family, but the truth is a bit complicated.

Wang Fubao dared to openly appear in front of Yang Shanhui to deliver food to Luo Cheng. It was indeed they who had reached some private agreements with Yang Shanhui.

In terms of performance, Dou Jiande had surrendered to the court anyway when the anti-kings besieged Pingyuan County, so last time Luo Cheng used him as a guide to destroy the thieves in Douzigang, not only did he fail to kill him, but he also distributed some food afterwards give him.

After that time, Dou Jiande also saw such benefits.

So after Yang Shanhui took over as Juncheng, he took the initiative to contact Yang Shanhui and expressed his willingness to assist in suppressing bandits.Of course, on the surface he accepted the recruitment, but in fact he was still entrenched in Douzigang.

Yang Shanhui refused at first, but after two battles, he couldn't win against Dou Jiande, so he had to reach a private agreement.The officers and soldiers of Pingyuan County and Dou Jiande did not offend each other, and the two even cooperated secretly to fight against other bandits in Pingyuan County and the surrounding area.

Exchange news and fight together.

Under their godly manipulation, one black and one white can be described as fruitful.

The bandits were wiped out one after another, and Yang Shanhui's performance was naturally very good, and he also kept Pingyuan County safe.As for Dou Jiande, of course, there are many advantages. After the defeat of Gao Shida, he already had hundreds of troops in his hands. The strongest family on the north bank of the Yellow River.

Anyway, up to now, Dou Jiande has restrained his subordinates, and indeed he has never attacked a city in Pingyuan County. He mainly fights against other rebels, relying on gangsters to grow and grow, and on the other hand, he monopolizes the salt production and sales of Douzigang, making a fortune .

He even sold the salt in Douzigang through Yang Shanhui, which made Yang Shanhui a fortune.

So, although Dou Jiande now calls himself the King of Changle, Yang Shanhui has never sent troops to beat him, and the two sides maintain a very delicate cooperative relationship.

After listening to Yang Shanhui's explanation, Luo Cheng couldn't help but marvel, there is such a showy operation, this Dou Jiande is really smart.

It can't be said that Yang Shanhui is only involved with thieves. After all, the local situation is too chaotic and there are thieves everywhere. Now he cooperates with Dou Jiande to put down those small bandits, which is also a great achievement.

After all, Dou Jiande does not disturb the people and does not attack the city now, but those small groups of bandits are burning, killing, looting and committing all kinds of crimes.As for a hero like Dou Jiande, after a long time, it must be a serious problem, but Yang Shanhui can't help it.

With so few soldiers and horses in his hands, it is very difficult to keep the stability of Pingyuan County now.Moreover, he also sympathized with those refugees. Since Dou Jiande recruited more than [-] people and resettled them in Douzigang, he just turned a blind eye.

Luo Cheng waved.

Wang Fubao strode forward.

"Old Wang, you brothers were also very brave when I was in Liaoxi, and fought side by side with me, shed blood and were injured together. Now you are in Douzigang. Although it looks good, it will not last long after all. I also thought that you didn’t do anything outrageous, and thought about the old relationship, why don’t you just accept my offer and take the people in Douzigang with me to Liaodong outside the customs?”

"I don't care about anything else, but as long as you are willing to go to Liaodong, when you get there, I will protect you as an official of the fifth rank!"

Wang Fubao bowed his hands to Luo Cheng, "Thank you, Commander, for remembering our old troops, and for giving us our origins. It's just that we, the ones who broke the family, have already sworn to Tianming that we will never be soldiers of the Sui Dynasty again in this life. I will be Sui officer again. Thank you for your love, Marshal, and please forgive us for our ignorance of the crime of flattery."

Seeing that he looked determined, Luo Cheng knew that he couldn't be persuaded, so he just laughed it off.

For people like Dou Jiande and Wang Fubao, it was a helpless move to rebel at the beginning, but they were unwilling to take this road if there was any room left, just like when Sun Anzu Gao Shida and the others ran to Douzigang Gaojibo He was a thief, but Dou Jiande never left Zhangnan, he has been serving as a lieutenant in the county and county soldiers, and he was helpless until his family was killed by the officers and soldiers.

But now, after such a long struggle, Dou Jiande is no longer the man he was at the beginning. He has 10 brothers and a population of [-]. He has become the king of Changle. Under Luo Cheng's command.

Don't say that Luo Cheng is only willing to give a general Yingyang, even if he is a general Huya, they may not be willing.

"Brother Dou was also coming, but the family is so busy that we don't have time for a while." After speaking, Wang Fubao waved his hand, and his subordinates pushed up another cart of things.

"There is some gold and silver in it, and I will give it to the commander in chief to pay for the journey. In addition, we have prepared three thousand catties of salt for the grain truck."

Luo Cheng smiled, stretched out his hand and patted Wang Fubao, "You are determined. Although you have come to this point, there is nothing you can do, but I still have to advise you, your road today is still crooked and very dangerous. I hope you can do it in the future." Don't disturb the people, don't do things that hurt the sky and reason."

"Also, if you really can't get along one day, remember to come to Liaodong to find me. I will always remember you old brothers."

Wang Fubao was greatly moved, "Thank you, Marshal."

Luo Chengcheng accepted three thousand shi of grain, three thousand jin of salt, and 300 taels of gold.

With complicated emotions, Wang Fubao finally left.

Yang Shanhui looked at their leaving figures, and said to Luo Cheng, "Luo Shuai, they are thieves after all, sooner or later, we will have to face each other."

Luo Cheng patted him on the shoulder, "It's good that you understand it in your heart. Besides, as a local sheriff, your greatest responsibility is to protect the land and the people. You must resolutely attack those thieves who burn, kill and loot the people, and give priority to eliminating them."

Wei Chiliang, the deputy commander of the Baima Yizhong, said to Luo Chengdao, "If you want me to say, why bother with such rebels, let's go directly to Douzigang and wipe them out completely, so as not to be taken by someone with hands Use it as a talking point to attack the commander-in-chief."

Luo Cheng just shook his head.
