Chapter 37

One risk plan

Shanyang County is the county seat of Mayi County. Currently, the prefect of Mayi County is Wang Rengong. He has a very good relationship with Yang Yichen. After Yang Yichen was suspicious and deprived of military power, Wang Rengong was also implicated and was also deprived of military power and demoted to the prefect of Mayi County.

Mayi County is a major county in the northern border. There are many merchants going to the Turks to trade. There are endless merchants on the official road. At noon that day, as usual, the gates of Shanyang County were wide open, and soldiers patrolled the city heads. The city patrol captain who was on duty today was Liu Wuzhou. He was a local tyrant in Mayi County. He was in his early thirties, strong in his body, and had great martial arts skills. He participated in the Battle of Goryeo and became promoted to the school head.

"Person Liu!"

A brigade coach on the top of the city called him, ran down, and ran to his horse to say, "I may not be able to pay you back the money for a while, can I beg you for a few days?"

"Have your father's illness not cured yet?" Liu Wuzhou asked with concern.

The coach shook his head and sighed, "There will be no improvement for a while. The famous doctor from Taiyuan County prescribed a prescription for him to take care of him carefully."

Liu Wuzhou took out more than twenty yuan from the horse bag and stuffed it to him, "Buy some tonics for his father and let him take good care of it."

"No! No!"

How could the coach ask for his money again? He quickly pushed him away, "I haven't paid you back a hundred yuan last time, how could I ask for your money again? I can't ask for it."

"Hold it!"

Liu Wuzhou's face sank and he forced the money to him, "This is not a loan to you, this is my little intention of respecting your father, I don't want you to pay it back."

The brigade coach was grateful and nodded, "Thank you, the captain!"

Liu Wuzhou patted him on the shoulder and smiled, "Your brother, don't be polite."

He rode out of the city gate and turned around and shouted to the soldiers on the city, "Brothers, be careful, don't be infiltrated by Turkic spies!"

At this moment, a soldier on the top of the city shouted: "Capital, a group of merchants rushed from afar, and they were very panicked."

Liu Wuzhou was surprised. The thug curtain looked north. After a moment, he saw a group of merchants rushing towards the sky with mules and horses. When the merchant approached, he recognized that it was a group of merchants who had just gone north in the morning. Why did he come back again?

He urged him to come forward and shout, "Hey! What's wrong?"

"Person Liu, an army is coming, tens of thousands of people!"

Liu Wuzhou was shocked and asked quickly: "Is the Turkic people here?"

"No, it seems to be the Sui army."

Liu Wuzhou was stunned. There were no tens of thousands of Sui troops in the north, but after a second thought, he realized that it was Yang Yuanqing's army? He also knew that Yang Yuanqing had expanded eastward to Yulin and was very close to Mayi County. It must be his army going south.

Liu Wuzhou was anxious and urged his horse to run into the city, shouting: "The city gate is closed, no one is allowed to enter or exit."

He ran away and rushed all the way to the prefect's mansion. It was noon, and the prefect Wang was eating at home. He ran to the gate of the mansion, turned over and dismounted, and ran up the steps. A young and beautiful young woman happened to walk out of the mansion. Liu Wuzhou was not in a position to catch her and hit her to the ground.

"oops!"

The young woman shouted in pain. She hated her eyebrows and was about to curse her, but she saw that it was Liu Wuzhou. Her anger disappeared and her eyebrows were frowned, "Person Liu, why are you so reckless? Are you going to kill me?"

Liu Wuzhou knew this young woman, named A Tuan, the daughter of Jia Luozheng, a great merchant in Mayi County. She is a famous beauty in Shanyang County. She is only seventeen years old this year and married Wang Rengong as her concubine at the beginning of the year.

Liu Wuzhou was so scared that he apologized, "I am reckless and ambushed my wife. Please forgive me!"

A Tuan bit his lips lightly and gave him a blank look, "I'll say for no reason, please help me up first!"

Liu Wuzhou was also an extremely romantic and brave person. Seeing A Tuan like this, he understood a little, but in front of the prefect's house, he did not dare to go too far, so he squatted down and handed her shoulders. A Tuan's eyes were as charming as silk, stretched out his slender jade fingers, put them on his shoulders, and slowly stood up.

At this time, the housekeeper walked out of the mansion, and A Tuan let go of Liu Wuzhou's shoulders, and his pretty face immediately became cold, "Person Liu, is there anything you have to do with my master?"

Liu Wuzhou quickly bowed, but said to the housekeeper: "If there is an urgent military situation, we must report it to the prefect."

The housekeeper looked embarrassed and said, "The prefect has not woken up from drunkenness, so I am afraid he can't wake him up."

Wang Rengong was addicted to alcohol and was in a bad mood. He spent most of the day drunk and threw official duties to the county magistrate. He never asked about it, and almost everyone in Mayi County knew about it.

Liu Wuzhou said anxiously: "It is of great importance, no matter what, we must wake up the prefect."

A Tuan next to him said, "General Liu, go first! I have a way to wake him up."

Liu Wuzhou quickly saluted, thank you, Madam. He didn't dare to look at A Tuan. He turned around and ran down the steps and turned over to the horse, and headed towards the city gate. A Tuan looked at his burly and tall back and walked away, and couldn't help but sigh inwardly. She had admired Liu Wuzhou since she was a child, but her father married her to an alcoholic.

A Tuan turned around and said angrily to the butler: "Get two buckets of water in the well!"

On the top of the city, the soldiers guarding the city became nervous. Liu Wuzhou also sweated coldly. Outside the city, there were a black Sui cavalry, with thousands of people. The flags were waving among the cavalry, and a large red eagle flag fluttered in the wind. This was indeed Fengzhou cavalry.

The general in charge was Sima Li Jing. He urged him to step forward and whispered to the city: "We are using the way to suppress bandits, and there is no other intention!"

At this time, the prefect Wang Rengong was supported by several soldiers and staggered towards him. The water stains on his head were not dry, but he couldn't care about it at this time. The Fengzhou army actually rushed into Mayi County. It was so great. He held the female wall and looked down. After a while, he shouted: "Are you Li Jing?"

Li Jing knew Wang Rengong, and he quickly bowed and replied: "Let me see General Wang!"

Wang Rengong was not fully awake yet and could not react for a moment. Liu Wuzhou next to him tactfully reminded him, "Eunuch, it's strange, what are the Fengzhou troops coming to Mayi County to do?"

"oh!"

Wang Rengong woke up and shouted again: "Why are you not waiting in Fengzhou to guard the border, why are you going to Mayi County to do? What about Yang Yuanqing? Let him come to see me!"

Li Jing smiled slightly and said loudly: "We are cross-border bandit suppression, going to Loufan County to wipe out the rioter Wei Daoer. Passing by Mayi County, General Manager Yang has led another army to Yanmen County, not here."

Wang Rengong was stunned, and Liu Wuzhou reminded him next to him, "Empress, cross-border bandit suppression requires approval from the Ministry of War!"

Wang Rengong then asked again: "Is there a Ministry of War approval?"

"I have applied to the Ministry of War, and the approval has not yet been completed, but the matter is urgent and will be outside. I will not accept the orders of the emperor. I hope General Wang will understand!"

Li Jing didn't say much to him, and pulled his horse back to the team, waved his hand, "Stay going forward!"

Ten thousand cavalry did not enter Shanyang County, but continued to march southward and headed towards Fanlou County.

Wang Rengong was stunned. What was the Fengzhou army doing? Liu Wuzhou said anxiously: "Eunuch, I have some ideas about my duties."

"You said!" Wang Rengong praised his several reminders.

Liu Wuzhou said: "Bizhi believes that this is Yang Yuanqing's expansion of power again. He must include Dingxiang County, Yanmen County, Mayi County and Fanlou County in his sphere of influence. Then he either attacks Youzhou or Taiyuan. This must be the case. The envoy must report to the court immediately."

Wang Rengong nodded. Liu Wuzhou said it very well. From Yang Yuanqing's expansion pace, it should be like this. He immediately shouted: "Don't open the city gate, I want to report to the emperor!"

Wang Rengong turned around and went down the city. After walking a few steps, he turned back to Liu Wuzhou and said, "From today, you will be my personal lieutenant. In the future, I will promote you to General Yingyanglang!"

Liu Wuzhou immediately knelt down on one knee, "I wish to serve the envoy!"

The capital in June was a bit bloody. Just a few days ago, Duke of Hui, Guanglu, General Li Hun, General of Right Guard, and General Li Min, were ordered to be killed by Yang Guang for suspected participation in the Yuan family's rebellion. Thirty-two clans were killed, and the rest of the clans were exiled to Lingnan.

For a moment, the capital was shocked. Although Yang Guang's reason for killing them was to participate in the Yuan family's rebellion, the people in the capital still couldn't help but think of the prophecy, "There are the world, the Yang family will be destroyed, and the Li family will be prosperous."

At this moment, another prophecy spread in the capital, "Li Feili, Yang Feiyang, went out of Jingxiang to guard the border, and the Sui clan destroyed him as a general."

Li Hun and Li Min's execution and the spread of prophecies made the capital panic. Everyone was speculating about who would be the next person to be killed?

I don’t know who revealed the secret. The mother of Fengzhou Chief Manager Yang Yuanqing was named Li. When he was young, he once called Li Yuanqing, but later changed his name to Yang Yuanqing. This secret quickly spread throughout the city. Almost everyone thought of the prophecy of "Li Fei Li, Yang Fei Yang". Could it be that the Yang family destroyed and the Li family rose, meant Yang Yuanqing?

Yuwen Shu was walking in a hurry and walked along a corridor. These days he was racking his brains to relieve Li Yuan of his crime. Li Yuan sent his cousin Li Shentong to find him again and promised him to 200,000 yuan to hang the money. For the 200,000 yuan to hang the money, Yuwen Shu did not hesitate to lead the prophecy to Yang Yuanqing.

At this time, Yuwen Shu was extremely proud. At this critical moment when the new prophecy had just been circulated, news came from the north that Yang Yuanqing had actually expanded his power south again. This was simply God's fulfillment of Yuwen Shu.

Yuwen Shu came to the imperial study room and happened to meet Fan Zigai. He was also urgently summoned by Yang Guang to discuss military affairs.

"I heard that Fan Xiangguo was sick two days ago. Can he be in better health?" Yuwen Shu asked with concern.

"Thank you General Yuwen for your concern, it's already done."

Fan Zigai smiled, "General Yuwen should also come to the meeting with the order!"

"Hey! People are insatiable. Yang Yuanqing took advantage of the emperor to conquer Goryeo and annex Yulin County. Now he is going south to Mayi County and Yanmen County. What exactly does he want to do?"

Yuwen Shu was full of anger and said, "Since he admitted that he was a Sui minister, why did he do something unjust?"

Fan Zigai has a deep understanding of Yuwen Shu. This person cannot get up early without profit. He does everything based on his own interests, including his attack on Yang Yuanqing, which is also for himself, not for the country. Fan Zigai smiled and said nothing.

The two walked to the imperial study room, and the eunuch immediately reported, "Report to Your Majesty, Premier Fan, General Yuwen is here."

"Announce them to meet!" Yang Guang's tone was full of resentment.
