Chapter 451: Pei Xingyan

I’m really sorry for the update today, because the child cried all night last night and didn’t go to bed until six o’clock. Sorry, but today it’s still at least the fifth update!

Yang Guang summoned Su Wei, Pei Yun, Pei Shiju, Yu Shiji, Yu Wen Shu and others to discuss matters.

"Luo Cheng said that he would enter Hebei and recover Pingyuan County City, which was captured by bandits, and killed more than 5,000 thieves, captured more than 30,000 prisoners, and swept the thieves in Douzigang, capturing more than 130,000. I was surprised. It turned out that I had never heard of the thieves developing to such a level, and the thieves' power was developing so fast? Now, can we break through a canal city like Pingyuan County City?"

Yu Shiji, the Minister of the Inner History, is usually responsible for submitting memorials to the emperor. He always has to cover up the reports of bandits in various places. He often put away some serious reports and did not submit them. If he wants to submit them, he only presents some good news that is not serious, or eliminates the bandits.

Hearing the emperor's question, he said, "Bandits are always just bandits, and they have become the climate. Officials from all over the country will pursue and suppress them completely soon. Your Majesty does not have to worry!"

But Yang Guang is not that easy to fool. If ordinary people report it, he may have to doubt it. But Luo Cheng is his most trusted general after all, and Luo Cheng has the power to report it directly, so his memorials can be presented directly to his case without Yu Shiji.

"But Luo Cheng reported that 200,000 bandits captured Pingyuan County in just three days. There were no less than 300,000 bandits and Gaojipo, and it is said that they could not less than 100,000 bandits in this world. Why did there suddenly so many bandits in Luo Cheng kill nearly 100,000 bandits in two battles and captured more than 100,000. I was shocked. How could there be so many bandits in such a big city as Pingyuan County?"

Yuwen Shu immediately said, "I think it must be Luo Cheng's false report of his achievements. Where can so many bandits come from in the world? There are only eight counties in Pingyuan County, and there are not a total population of 100,000 households. Where can these bandits come from? They also killed eight pseudo-black thirteen pseudo-blacks. Why have these pseudo-blacks and pseudo-blacks never heard from local reports before?"

"Another, if I remember it well, Luo Cheng was the General of the Right Guard, who was appointed as the ambassador of Henan to seek arrest, or the prefect of Donglai County. However, whether it is the ambassador of comforting arrest or the prefect of Donglai County, he should serve in Henan. How could he go to Hebei to suppress bandits? Also, Luo Cheng led his troops into Hebei, and he reported to the court, and could he get permission?"

Yu Shiji said over there, "Your Majesty, Yang Xuangan, the Minister of Rites, reported that Luo Cheng was proud of his achievements and killed people and destroyed his clans because of a small matter. He also secretly summoned troops and horses in Henan, and gave offices to relatives and friends. It was suspected of being a party to form private parties. Now, he led his army across the Yellow River, and even more suspected of being privately dispatched troops, indiscriminately hunted and killed good people, and killed good people to seek merit and rewards."

"Yes, there must be bandits, but they will never be as many as Luo Cheng said, and there will be hundreds of thousands of bandits at every turn? There are 500,000 bandits in Pingyuan County, and how many bandits should there be more than 40 counties in Hebei, Henan and Hebei? It must be an exaggeration. There are bandits, but they are not as serious as he said. Luo Cheng owns heavy troops in Henan, and is arbitrarily dispatching troops and horses, and even crosses the Hebei without orders. This is a serious violation of the system and laws. Your Majesty has to guard against it."

Several ministers were besieging Luo Cheng there, and they all used Luo Cheng to privately mobilize troops and horses to talk about the matter. They also said that his report was unreasonable and that there would be no such many bandits and bandits.

Finally, it is said that if every general is like Luo Cheng, who wants to recruit troops and horses, and if he wants to cross the line, wouldn’t that be a mess?

Where is the national law system?

"This Luo Cheng was too much. He relied on some of his contributions to the Liao Dynasty last time and his Majesty's trust, and was so unscrupulous that he was greedy for me. He killed several bandits and bandits, and dared to claim to have wiped out 400,000 and beheaded several minions. He actually dared to say that killing eight pseudo kings and thirteen pseudo-gongs in the formation was too arrogant."

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

In a small plain county, where did the 500,000 thieves come from?

Moreover, in one plain county, eight anti-kings kings and thirteen anti-publics were produced, which is too unreasonable.

"Your Majesty, although Luo Cheng has some skills in fighting, if he says he is the chief of a twelve counties in Henan, he will not be able to do enough experience."

"Well, then I will issue an order to let Luo Cheng go back to Donglai to concentrate on preparing for the Navy's Eastern Expedition. As for the position of Henan's comfort ambassador, it will be handed over to the Guanglu Dafu and the Huben Lang General Pei Renji. In Henan's ambassador's arrest, the deputy envoy Zhang Xutuo will take over."

Fortunately, although the emperor believed that Luo Cheng was greedy for merit and rewarded and falsely reported his achievements, he thought that Luo Cheng had made contributions and was still young in conquest of Liao, so he did not blame him for it. He just asked Luo Cheng to hand over the two entourages, and then went to Donglai to be his prefect, and was also the commander of the 100,000 naval commander to prepare for the Navy's Eastern Expedition.

In short, Luo Cheng, you are too young, so you should concentrate on the war in the east. As for the comfort and suppression of bandits in Henan, it should be left to others.

No reward or punishment.

When the order was sent to Pingyuan County City, Luo Cheng was preparing to send troops to Gaojipo to suppress the bandits.

As a result, his position as an ambassador of Henan to comfort and arrest ambassador was gone, and the power to take charge of the title was naturally gone.

"Your Majesty is not convinced that I have wiped out so many bandits and killed so many anti-kings?"

The angel smiled bitterly and said, "It's really the number of bandits that have been wiped out in this plain county is so amazing."

Luo Cheng suddenly understood. The emperor probably didn't know the news about the thieves and bandits in various parts of the Central Plains today, and he thought it was a peaceful and prosperous era.

"The hundreds of thousands of bandits in Pingyuan County are not all locals in Pingyuan County. They are causing trouble. Do you think dozens of bandits in Henan and Hebei have gathered together. Don't your Majesty know?"

"Ship Luo." The new ambassador of comfort Pei Renji also smiled bitterly and comforted Luo Cheng. He came from Zhuo County, but when he arrived at Pingyuan County, he looked at the prison camp outside the city, the newly repaired Pingyuan County city, and after a casual inquiry, he knew that the previous Pingyuan Victory was real.

But so what?

"Forget it, General Pei, I will hand over this errand to you to comfort the ambassador."

Pei Renji was also a general of Guanlong. His grandfather was once the General of the Cavalry of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and his father was also a general of the Zhou and Sui Dynasty. His grandfather and father had the title of county duke, but by the time he was changed, he had no titles, so he had no titles. However, Pei Renji was formerly a subordinate of Li Jing, and Li Jing was Luo Cheng's teacher, so he and Luo Cheng were very close.

"The main reason is that Yu Shiji and Yu Wen Shu are talking bad things about Luo Shuai in front of His Majesty, otherwise this would not have happened."

"Yeah, I've written it down."

Luo Cheng was very annoyed, but he showed calmness on his face.

Things have happened and he can't change it. Who made him meet an emperor like Yang Guang? Although Yang Guang often acts very awesome, in fact, the emperor Yang Guang is very paranoid.

"Dalang, come here to pay homage to Mr. Luo."

Pei Renji recruited a young man and asked him to touch him younger than Luo Cheng.

"This is a dog son. This year, he is a little brave. He is learning to ride a horse and shoot a spear when he is young. This time he heard that I came to Henan and insisted on following me. He also said that he would follow Luo Shuai and go to Liaodong to fight. I just don't know if Luo Shuai is willing to take this kid in."

Luo Cheng looked at the tall young man, "What's Dalang's name?"

"Go back to Luo Shuai, my name is Xingyan and the courtesy name is Yuanqing."

Luo Cheng was stunned for a moment. Pei Xingyan’s courtesy name was Yuanqing?

"What weapon do you use?"

"Horse Lance!"

Luo Cheng said oh, thinking that it was a good thing that he didn't use a hammer.

As a result, Pei Xingyan said again, "I will use a spear immediately, but short soldiers are hammers. I heard that the commander's close combat short soldiers are also hammers. I hope I can get the commander to give me one or two hammers."
