Chapter 4: Teng Yuan is on it At first glance, the name Wang Weiqiang knew that it was from the hand of Mura Xiucai, and there was no trace of ancient style from head to toe.
When I first saw this name, Wuyang County Shouyuan Treasure even felt that it was out of homonym, anyway, in these years, the thieves are surging, and it is not uncommon for Zhang Dog, Li Maotou, Li Maotou and other bandit leaders to be common.
It is not surprising that there is one more Wang Weiqiang reed wall.
But by the beginning of May, the name appeared more and more frequently on the desk of the Shouyuan Treasure in Wuyang County.
Sometimes it was an urgent letter sent from two different places in one day, each with this strange name written on it.
Or take advantage of the unpreparedness of a certain fort to cover up and enter, and loot the cattle and sheep stored in the fort.
Or they took advantage of the unpreparedness of a certain county to storm its door, burn houses, and plunder the grass market, causing the people of the county to be shocked every day, and they could not live and work in peace and contentment.
And the location of this thief's attack was extremely tricky.
It is always stuck at the junction of Wuyang and Qinghe counties.
When the Taishou of the two counties decided whether to send troops to recruit or not, the thief flew away without a trace as if he had wings.
Angry, Yang Jishan of Qinghe County was furious, and repeatedly swept along the area of Pingen and Lishui.
Unexpectedly, before the thief surnamed Wang was dug out, another thief surnamed Cheng suddenly killed outside Linqing County.
Chen Bing for two days, hanging without attacking, forced Linqing County to order Zhu Lingming to hand over 100,000 stone of grain, and then rushed away before Yang Jishan returned to the army to rescue.
Neither of these thieves is simple.
With the experience of dealing with bandits and rogues in recent years, Wuyang County Shouyuan Treasure is keenly aware of this.
Since the failure of the first expedition to Liao, 300,000 elite soldiers buried their bones in Liaodong, thieves from all over Hebei have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain.
But those thieves acted in a disorderly manner, and when they saw the cheap, they rushed up, and when they saw the hard stubble, they scattered in a hurry.
There has never been a situation like Wang Weiqiang and Cheng Mingzhen cooperating with each other and echoing each other.
Fortunately, the scale of the two groups of thieves is not large at present, and according to the rough estimation of the battle reports sent from all over the place, there are about 5,000 to 8,000 people under the command of the thief named Cheng Mingzhen.
And the thief named Wang Weiqiang only brought 2,500 to 4,000 minions.
Compared with a gust of wind, half a cloud, and these big locks who are often called 50,000 or 100,000, the strength of the two rising stars is almost negligible.
But if you compare them in terms of destructive power, the two young thieves are beyond the reach of their predecessors.
Since the beginning of spring, a gust of wind, a cloud in the middle of the sky and other thieves have also tried to loot the prefectures and counties, but because of the tight precautions of the officers and soldiers, they have lost the wind one after another, and stealing chickens has not been able to reverse a handful of rice.
Under the attack of Cheng and Wang, four fortresses have been uprooted in a row.
And the four fortresses are closely related to the government, two of which are also famous local families, and their sons and nephews are officials in the eastern capital, and they can speak in front of His Majesty the Emperor.
Afraid that the victim's backstage would be slandered in front of His Majesty the Emperor, the Wuyang County Shouyuan Treasure had to once again increase its precautions against the Liukou.
At the same time, he also sent his confidant Wei Zheng to pretend to be a Taoist priest to investigate and secretly visit everywhere, and finally in late May, he found out the general situation of the two most active rogues in the territory.
After the news was sent back, Yuan Bao looked at it several times, and couldn't believe his eyes for a while.
Those two newly rising forces were not petty thieves at all, but the vanguard sent by the giant thief Zhang Jincheng to test the movements of the government.
And the giant thief Zhang Jin said that there were more than 20 such locks under his command, but he didn't want to attract the attention of Yang Yichen, the servant, so he sent two small characters to "step on the plate".
Thinking of Zhang Jincheng's ferocity, Yuan Baobao's heart trembled.
So far, all the cities that have been breached by Zhang Jincheng, except for Guantao, which have not been slaughtered, are all corpses.
Even if Wuyang City is tall with its walls, it will not become the next target of Zhang Thief.
But if he is allowed to run rampant any longer, the situation of local erosion will sooner or later anger the imperial court.
Last summer, Zhou Yanghao, the commander of Wu'an County, was breached by Zhang Jincheng because three counties under his rule were breached, which caused the imperial court to be angry and directly ordered a cup of poisoned wine.
Wuyang County has already lost the pavilion pottery last year, and if Zhang Jin says that it will break two counties in a row this year, it is estimated that the cup of poisonous wine from Luoyang should be sent to the Yuan family's mansion. didn't want to follow in the footsteps of Zhou Yanghao, so Yuan Bao had to prepare in advance.
He personally wrote a letter to Yang Yichen, the servant of the Imperial Servant, asking the other party to read the old friendship over the years and move the station forward again.
Even if he didn't press his soldiers and horses to the gate of Zhang Jincheng's lair, he would at least cross the canal and cut off the road for Julu Ze Zhukou to advance eastward.
After the letter was sent, before Yang Yichen could reply, he first received a report from the imperial court.
The third expedition to Liao was a complete victory, and the Goguryeo monarchs and ministers surrendered and sent back the head of the Great Sui traitor Hu Sizheng.
His Majesty the Emperor won the victory and summoned Luo Yi, Yang Yichen and other confidant generals to Beiping County to meet him.
"If you really return triumphantly, do you still need to summon Luo Yi and Yang Yichen to answer" was so angry by the exaggerated news in the newspaper that Yuan Baobao sneered a few times and muttered.
Those with experience in officialdom can understand at a glance that the third expedition to Liao was deflated again.
If the army really wins the battle, according to the rules of the Great Sui, even if it does not destroy its country, it is at least necessary to let the Goguryeo puppet king cut the land, lose the money, and send his son into the hostage.
And now the Goguryeo people only said a word of condescension, and His Majesty the Emperor withdrew with a million troops.

It was obvious that he saw that there was no hope of victory, learned the lessons of the failure of the first two Eastern Crusades, and made excuses to end it hastily "Don't be angry.
The imperial court can know the difficulties and retreat, and it is not the blessing of the people to see it" Wei Zheng, the chief of Wuyang County, saw that Yuan Bao was full of gloom, shook the pu fan in his hand, and explained in a low voice.
The interior of the mansion is well ventilated, and I don't feel the slightest heat at all.
But Wei Zheng was used to holding a pu fan in his hand.
Shake it gently if you have nothing to do, and take advantage of the gentle breeze to add a bit of chic.
Yuan Baobao couldn't appreciate the other party's calmness, frowned, and responded in a deep voice, "It's so easy to say whether it's a blessing or a curse."
The first two failed returns have already made His Majesty's majesty completely lost.
This time I ran back in a daze, I'm afraid that not only the thieves saw the opportunity, but those lords and nobles, who don't want to fish in troubled waters" "Our Da Sui's fish is not so easy to touch.
You look at Your Majesty's arrangement of these steps, you may not have the mind to take precautions," Wei Zheng knew who the lord and nobles in Yuan Baobao's mouth were referring to, and continued to shake the pu fan gently, "There is a million troops on the side, why should he recruit Yang Yichen and Luo Yi again, although there are two thieves in the north, Wang Suba and Wei Dao'er, who are having a good time, but with more than 200,000 hungry people who don't even have armor, do the two of them have the courage to rob and kill the holy driver":
