Yu Wenhuaji killed 30,000 people in Hebei, and Yu Juluo dared to be angry but dared not speak out. If Gao Jiong was still alive, he could still expect Gao Jiong to stand up for him. It would be too offensive for him to stand up for him alone.
Because everyone can see that Yu Wenji came to Hebei to take the heads of people from Hebei and accumulate merit. His father had just made great achievements, and no one would find it uncomfortable to compete with Yu Wenshu at this time.
Yuguluo has been in Hebei for many years. Although he is only the governor of Xindu in name, once there is a war in Hebei, the court will think of him first. Therefore, he has a high prestige in Hebei, just like Zhang Xutuo in Shandong. .
Yu Wenhuaji led his troops into Xindu, while Shi Xiang and Qu Tutong continued to lead their troops south. They wanted to sift the southern boundary of Xindu County like a sieve. Anyone who participated in the civil unrest this year may have All the deserters and civilians who came back from the front line will have their accounts settled.
"You can't do it like this," Yu Juluo said kindly in the lobby: "The chaos in Hebei has stabilized now. There are some things that need to be turned a blind eye. It is really inappropriate for General Manager Yuwen to go on such a killing spree. A smart move.”
Yu Wenhuaji smiled and said: "The benevolence of the ladies of Gaotang. Rebels are like moths, eroding our mountains and rivers. If they are not cut off, they may reappear. You are too soft-hearted, which is why the chaos in Hebei has become so big."
I fucked your mother, you killed someone, patted your butt and left, but I am still in Hebei, and then all the public resentment will be directed at me. You are outrageous, why should I bear the wrath of God and people?
Yu Juluo chuckled and said: "Some people are desperate and are bewitched by traitors, so they are here. Your Majesty has the virtue of loving the people. If you kill like this indiscriminately, I'm afraid Your Majesty will not be happy."
Yu Wenhuaji grinned: "I don't want to come either. Don't I want to go back to the capital? Duke Gao Tang, I'm just here to wipe your ass, so I don't know how to have a good heart."
Good guy, you little bastard dare to talk to me like this? When I was serving Emperor Gaozu, you still didn’t know where you were. It was such a shitty day, relying on your father to see how arrogant you became?
Yu Juluo was not a good-tempered person either. Hearing this, he stood up angrily:
"Before your expedition, Your Majesty granted me the envoy Chijie with arbitrary power over Hebei. I will send people to recover Shi Xiang and Qu Tutong. Don't you want to return to the capital? Please go back as soon as possible."
Yu Wenhuaji also stood up suddenly: "Don't use that little scepter to appoint me. I am the ambassador of Hebei Province deposed by His Majesty. You are now under my control. Yu Juluo, don't forget your brother's lessons learned from the past." .”
Yuguluo suddenly became furious: "You dare to threaten me?"
"Don't dare, don't dare, you are the county official," Yu Wenhuaji said with a smile: "You can do whatever you want. I have the final say on Hebei's affairs now."
Yu Juluo narrowed his eyes and sneered: "You have no respect for your elders. You rely on Xu Gong to be so domineering, Yu Wenji, I will see when you will be finished."
After saying that, Yu Juluo waved his sleeves and left.
If you can't persuade Yu Wenji, then go and persuade the other two. I'm sitting in Hebei, and you've made me full of holes. How am I going to clean up this mess in the future?
If something happens again in Hebei, the court will only accuse me.
Yu Juluo sees things very clearly. He just wants to protect himself and cannot let them continue to act like this.
So he took people directly out of the city and went south to find the other two stewards.
Shi Xiang and Qu Tutong both have higher prestige in the military than Yu Wenhuaji, but their ranks are the same. The difference is that they both rely on their ancestors and their own strength, while Yu Wenhuaji relies entirely on his father.
He was not convinced that two people like this were allowed to help Yu Wenhuaji, so he had been perfunctory since he went south.
Counterinsurgency, there is no rebellion anymore, now it's just killing civilians, it doesn't take much effort, but the risk is not small.
The two armies were divided into seventeen routes and went south, while Shi Xiang and Qu Tutong walked slowly at the end, almost like traveling. They were tired of fighting Goguryeo. They were not very concerned about countering the rebellion now. We meet every now and then and have a few drinks together.
Shi Xiang was from Yang Guang, and his younger brother Shi Yun was the governor of Donglai County and had a close relationship with Zhang Xutuo. The two brothers were the sons of Shi Ning, the young Situ of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, and they were also prominent for generations.
Historically, Shi Xiang followed Yang Guang in the battle against Goguryeo. He was defeated miserably and was expelled from the civil service. Later, he became the governor of Yan County, one of the three counties in the north of the Liaoxi Corridor. He was a place where birds had nothing to do. He was later defeated by Gao Kaidao. He was treated politely and sent someone to take Shi Xiang to Zhuo County, but he died on the way.
He is a relatively cautious person. After meeting Qu Tutong this time, they started chatting:
"Half of our soldiers are from Guanzhong and half are from Shanxi. To be honest, the soldiers would not be able to kill like this in Hebei."
These three places had a very deep connection in ancient China. The big families in the three places had the most frequent marriages, especially Shanxi and Guanzhong, who were brothers separated by the Yellow River.
The four major surnames in the Northern Wei Dynasty, Fan Yanglu, Qinghe Cui, Xingyang Zheng, and Taiyuan Wang, were crazy about marriages and were constantly involved, thus linking up the close relationship between Shanxi and Hebei.
However, since the rise of the Guanlong Group, Hebei's status has not been good, mainly because of Cui Hao's "Prison of National History" incident in the Northern Wei Dynasty. Several big families in Shanxi and Hebei were all implicated, and their vitality was seriously damaged.
At present, the people in Guanzhong are quite capable of killing the people in Hebei, but not in Shanxi. The people in Shanxi are unwilling to kill people from Hebei, especially civilians.
Ordinary soldiers are also from civilian backgrounds.
"Oh, this job is really difficult." Qu Tutong had a good relationship with Yang Ming a long time ago, because he would be the chief guard of Yong'an Palace, and Yang Ming went to Yong'an Palace every day.
"Show me your noble hand, I haven't been able to sleep well these past few nights. Killing barbarians is not a problem for me, but killing ordinary people, oh, I'm afraid of committing sin. I'm afraid future generations will also suffer karmic retribution. As for the prince, I It’s not easy to explain either.”
Being the leader of the imperial guard for Dugu Jialuo, he must be a Buddhist. As a military general, Qu Tutong killed people every day, but killing like this now made him feel a little uneasy about his conscience.
I didn't kill like this in Goguryeo.
Shi Xiang frowned and said: "There are too many civilians and deserters who escaped from the front line. Many of them actually returned home honestly and did nothing. We can give these people some slack. As for those who follow the rebels to wreak havoc in the surrounding areas, just kill the leaders and forget it, I don’t plan to continue killing them like this, it’s up to you.”
"We coincidentally coincide," Qu Tutong said happily.
In any case, the two of them were sent by Yang Guang to assist Yu Wenhua and counter the rebellion. If they were treated perfunctorily and they were afraid of taking the blame, now that Shi Xiang is willing to share the burden, Qu Tutong is naturally happy:
"You are not familiar with the prince, and you don't understand our prince's temperament. With the things we are doing now, if we get back to the capital, we will be severely punished by the prince. We can stop in time now before it is too late."
Shi Xiang's mouth twitched. He was very afraid of the prince. Even though he was the emperor's servant, if the prince was determined to deal with someone now, the emperor would never stop him.
Today's prince is no longer a mere decoration. His authority has become so great that one person from all corners of the country is under his control.
"That's easy to say. If the prince asks for guilt, let's blame it on Yu Wenshu. This kid is becoming more and more arrogant because of Yu Wenshu." Shi Xiang said hey, "The prince and his family have never dealt with each other, but I want to see it. When Yu Wenhuaji goes back this time, can he get his wish and be granted a title of father-in-law?"
Qu Tutong thought for a while and said: "The prince can't pass the test, let alone the duke or the marquis."
It was at this time that the guards outside came to report that Gong Yujuluo from Gaotang County was here.
Shi Xiang suddenly frowned: "What is he here for? To urge us to put down the rebellion?"
Qu Tutong shook his head: "Not necessarily. I have interacted with him before in the palace. He is a cautious and prudent man. His younger brother doesn't look like he was born to the same parents at all. Let's see what he says."
After a while, Yu Juluo came in furiously, and the seats and the food and drinks originally reserved for him were kicked over by him:
"What do you two want to do?"
Shi Xiang and Qu Tutong subconsciously looked at each other and said in surprise:
"Where do you get so angry?"
Yu Juluo said angrily: "You are killing people in Hebei. After killing, you pat your butt and leave. Wipe the shit on my face and withdraw your troops immediately. Otherwise, I will file a memorial and sue all three of you together with Yu Wenhua and Yu Wenji." .”
The reason why he was so angry was that on the way here, he saw Shi Xiang's soldiers transporting carloads of corpses to a deserted suburb, digging a big pit and burying them on the spot.
Yu Juluo saw this and his lungs almost exploded with anger. After coming in, he scolded the two of them.
Qu Tutong said with an ugly face: "Don't get angry at us. We are also doing things according to orders. Who is willing to do such an immoral thing? You go find Yu Wenhuaji."
"He didn't listen to me," Yu Juluo sat down angrily and said to the two of them: "But you two have been through accidents for a long time, how can you do this?"
Shi Xiang hurriedly said: "Okay, okay, don't get angry. The two of us have just discussed it. We will handle it carefully and won't kill if we can."
"Are you still planning to kill?" Yu Juluo said: "If you continue to kill, if Hebei turns against you, I will lose my head and I will drag you three with me."
Qu Tutong chuckled and said, "You can't even blame Yu Wenji, so you come to scold us. We're so damn angry."
"That's just right!" Yu Juluo said: "The three of us jointly petitioned His Majesty to allow you to withdraw from Hebei."
After Shi Xiang pondered for a while, he said, "Okay, you take the lead, and we both write down our names."
"That's inappropriate!" Qu Tutong quickly raised his hand: "If you want to clear away the relationship, it's better to join forces."
After saying that, Qu Tutong winked at Shi Xiang: Why don't you seize the opportunity to dump the blame?
Shi Xiang is also an old fox, and he immediately understood: "Okay, let's jointly sign."
Yang Guang is not a fool. With so many people following him around Shanxi, they can eat up all the bark of the trees in Shanxi. Therefore, for those who can return, Yang Guang has ordered them to return to the headquarters of the various ministries in advance to reward them with money and pensions to find the prince.
He was not embarrassing his son. In fact, Yu Zhongwen had already led You Yiwei to escort the capture of Goguryeo. As soon as he arrived, the court's dilemma of lack of money could be solved in an instant.
Besides, there is Tu Wanxu, who is hanging at the back of the car, who has already started selling Goguryeo captives. The captives are also priced based on their quality. Those who are strong, strong, beautiful, have good skin, and have double eyelids will definitely be sold. good price.
In Goguryeo and Baekje, Silla, the natives there all have single eyelids. This matter is more complicated. There are two theories.
One is that the ancient Asian race was there, and the Central Plains was the New Asian race. About 30,000 years ago, the New Asian race had a massacre of the ancient Asian race, so that the ancient Asian race All hid in remote areas of Northeast Asia.
The second theory is that the Mongolian Plateau and the Tunguska region have the "Mongolian High", which is one of the world's largest sources of cold air. Troubled by the cold air from the south, the eyes of Mongolians and Northeast Asians have become single eyelids for protection. eyeball.
As for which statement is reliable, I don’t know. Anyway, as long as the Goguryeo people see double eyelids, they are descendants of the Central Plains people, and they can sell them for a good price.
People became commodities, just like mules and horses, and were taken to the market for sale, with priority for purchase in Shanxi.
Yang Guang is celebrating the New Year in Jinyang, and he doesn't plan to leave after the New Year. After all, he is tired from traveling for a year and has a minor illness, so he has to recuperate in Jinyang for a long time.
Yang Guang also saw the joint memorial written by Yu Juluo and the three of them. Just withdraw, as long as Hebei is stable. As for the accusations against Yu Wenhuaji in the memorial by the three of them, Yang Guang did not take it seriously. This memorial, Only he and the officials in Menxia Province knew.
At this time, it was impossible for Yang Guang to ask Sinyu Wenji.
The capital, Yu Zhongwen, came back. Because he came back with money, Guan Wang Yang Xiong personally went to Chang'an Station to greet him.
Yang Xiong took the other party's hand and said with a smile: "Ciwu (Yu Zhongwen) has worked hard and made great achievements. It is a foregone conclusion that his name will go down in history. Don't take the carriage. Let's ride on horseback and walk down Zhuque Street. People all over the city are waiting to welcome you."
Yu Zhongwen laughed and said: "I have to wait to see the king come from afar, but I don't dare to bear the responsibility. I am just trying my best. The main thing is that your majesty plans the strategy."
After all, he was one of the main generals in the attack on Pyongyang, and his credit was only due to Yu Wenshu and Lai Guer. Naturally, he also had to sprinkle water to clean the streets and decorate them with colorful brocades.
The people lined the streets to welcome him, and Yu Zhongwen, who was sitting on the horse, felt happy in his heart.
What do people want to do in their whole lives? Isn’t it just to achieve success and fame?
A person like him, who is from the Xianbei tribe and has been a noble for generations, has no worries about food and clothing. When he is not seeking profit, he is seeking fame.
Yu Zhongwen couldn't help feeling a little emotional. When he left Beijing last time, the prince gave him a stern warning, which made him quite worried. Now that he has returned with great honors, he can be considered relaxed.
"The prince is in the palace?" Yu Zhongwen asked.
Yang Xiong smiled and said, "I'm waiting for you at the Zhuque Gate."
Yu Zhongwen was stunned and said quickly: "Oh, how can I be welcomed by the prince personally? Let's go quickly."
Brothers, this is the end of this chapter today. Please forgive me, because I am going to play football in the afternoon and my lumbar disc has herniated. If I don’t exercise, I will be useless. Please forgive me.
