Dozens of torches lit up, reflecting Wang Rengong's figure.
Wang Rengong was nearly fifty years old at that time, and his beard was mostly white. He was wearing a gilded armor and a slutched silver armor, pressing the sword that was swallowing with his mouth, his waist was straight, his eyes were like lightning, and he glanced at the dense crowd under his feet.
Thousands of military soldiers and thousands of civilians looked up at the prefect of Mayi County. They were silent for a moment.
Just now, every military man was roaring to see Wang Rengong. But when Wang Rengong suddenly appeared, every military man lost his arrogance.
The power of famous ministers and generals in the past twenty years of the Great Sui Dynasty, and the most outstanding figure in the Taiyuan Wang family, is indeed extraordinary!
Wang Rengong's heart was also filled with various complex emotions.
The emperors of the Great Sui Dynasty both suppressed people from aristocratic families as much as possible. Although the Wang family in Taiyuan has a noble family and has been passed down for a long time, it is no more important than the newly-established families passed down from the six towns of Xianbei. The most important thing is that they do not have enough influence on the Great Sui army.
Therefore, the Li family, Yuwen family, Dugu family and others have always remained strong and the power and status of the two emperors of the Sui Dynasty have always been careful to face the families, and given power and dare not punish them. However, the people in the aristocratic families who did not have enough influence in the army have always been targeted by the two emperors of the Sui Dynasty.
Wang Rengong was famous for his young age, and both civil and military careers were outstanding. He could be a famous minister in the center and a border town outside. However, he had been sent by two generations of emperors to serve as officials all over the country, and he did not give him time to cultivate his own strength.
During the Yang Xuangan Rebellion, Wang Rengong made great efforts in quelling the rebellion and war, but Emperor Daye deposed Wang Rengong for a long time with several of his children in the Wang family. In the end, he was used by him to the border magistrate of Mayi County.
If Wang Rengong was in a prosperous state, he still wanted to live in the border areas and enthrone the wolf. After so many things, Wang Rengong had only the ambition to bring his family to the most glorious position. He could not tolerate the Taiyuan Wang family being treated like this again, and could not tolerate other despised families living in the Taiyuan Wang family!
The Wang family in Taiyuan has been passed down for hundreds of years since the end of the Han Dynasty. It has a noble family background in Tsinghua University. How could it be trampled by these military men with Hu blood in the six Xianbei towns?
As a border minister in a county, facing the huge pressure from the Turks. Wang Rengong was frantically plundering the entire county, desperately inserting his confidants into the county's army generals, desperately expanding his military strength, desperately suppressing Liu Wuzhou who was in the clouds, and even discussing peace with the Turks, preparing to ced half of Mayi County out.
Everyone seems to end up becoming what they hate.
It is precisely because of this that the Mayi Yingyang Mansion, which had outstanding combat power and strict military discipline, was ordered to go to fight and collapsed as soon as it contacted the opponent Chuchu. Now the hedgehog gathered under the city, almost setting off a mutiny.
Wang Rengong never thought that the main force of Liu Wuzhou appeared in Shenwu. If Liu Wuzhou's main force came out of the Yunzhong Basin and attacked Shenwu, he still had thousands of soldiers blocking the exit of the basin and confronting Liu Wuzhou. This was too much of a stir and could not be concealed by himself no matter what.
The one who appeared in Shenwu was just a partial master led by the damn Le Langjun! At most, the strength of a few hundred cavalry is only a few hundred cavalry!
Thousands of military horses that had been paid for their wealth in Mayi County collapsed and looked good to themselves!
Maybe what I did before was really a bit messy.
The current situation has been very bad, and if the news spreads, Liu Wuzhou will inevitably have greater ambitions and want to replace him. And the real enemy in his mind, Li Yuan, Duke of Tang in Jinyang, will gain greater freedom of movement, can fight to Chang'an without any scruples, and after gaining the nominal status of the central government, and after taking back, he will be able to deal with him like crushing an ant to kill him.
At this moment, it is useless to regret that he had been too obedient before. Now we have to stabilize the situation in Mayi, and quickly clean up Liu Wuzhou no matter what, and then connect with the Turks to fight against Li Yuan, Duke of Tang. Keep the situation in Mayi, watch the changes in the world, and wait for future opportunities!
However, before these future steps, we must first calm down the morale of the Mayi Yingyang Mansion's army and then firmly grasp them in our own hands!
Fortunately, these military men are not very difficult to deal with.
When troubled times arise, it is the opportunity for these soldiers who are licking blood from the knife. If they are lucky, they may have the opportunity to become the nobles of the new dynasty in the future. Don’t these great military heroes and honors come like this now?
But the first thing these military men have to do is follow the right person!
In Mayi County, although Liu Wuzhou won the hearts of the people, what is the use? Compared with the foundation of the Great Sui Dynasty, the family background, and the complex relationship between the Central Plains, Wang Rengong is more than a hundred times stronger than Liu Wuzhou?
These soldiers and soldiers of the Mayi Yingyang Prefecture can be regarded as the direct descendant of Wang Rengong. If they turn to those aristocratic families outside the county, such as Li Yuan, who is in Hedong, can't be regarded as the direct descendant of the family. If they die first and make contributions later, these military and military officials can also distinguish between importance.
As long as they give what they want and deal with a few more people to calm their resentment, it will not be difficult to get the morale of the army of Mayi Yingyang Mansion. These ordinary people are just like this!
In the silence, in front of Wan Jun, Wang Rengong had countless thoughts in his heart in an instant.
Finally, he spoke slowly. Although he had already shown his old age, his voice was still full of energy and was sent into everyone's ears.
"Aren't you going to see someone Wang Rengong? Someone is coming out! If you have anything to say to someone, just say it!"
Thousands of soldiers looked at each other without saying a word.
The military men relied on the courage to make trouble, but at this time there was no one who took the lead in talking to Wang Rengong. The military generals were just pushed out by the military men, but they lost control of their subordinates for a while, and they did not have the confidence to bargain with Wang Rengong for a while.
When Wang Rengong stood at the top of the city and asked everyone what they wanted like lightning, no one said a word for a moment.
Wang Rengong did not give thousands of people a chance to launch a leader. At this time, if a young man appeared to have a conversation with him, it would be easy to lose control of the situation. He sneered and spoke first.
"How can I not know why you are resentful? It's just that someone recruited from all directions who stole your position. Someone expanded their military horses and divided your income. Someone wanted to unify Mayi, but they also hurt your hometown! So you simply collapsed and showed it to someone!"
Wang Rengong walked a few steps at the top of the city, suddenly stood still, pressed the sword and shouted angrily: "Do you want to stay in this Mayi land for the rest of your life? Troubled times are about to come, and it is the opportunity for the heroes of the world to strive for progress. In your eyes, you only have acre of Mayi land. Are you willing to eat sand here every day? Are you willing to face the endless Hu tribe here every day? Are you willing to endure these days of wind, sword, frost, sword, and sword? I want to take you to the Central Plains and become a new noble family. If you don't want to, you will leave. Just wait in Mayi County, and be a garrison forever!"
