Chapter 199 Black Sheep
It is mid-November, and it is colder one day. Although it has not yet snowed, when the sun is not out of the sun, the temperature has approached zero degrees, the ice is getting stronger and the ground is beginning to slump.
There were thirty miles between Yangping (Shenxian County, Shandong) and Dongwuyang. After the Fifth Reun retreated from the Red Eyebrow on the other side, he moved his office here to facilitate the gathering of soldiers and attacking the thieves on the fifth floor of the jurisdiction.
"The lord arrived in Yangping County, and the local surnames were all bowing their heads and bowing to him. However, this Wang Mo did not come once. Instead, he wanted to send someone to invite him to the banquet. It was really outrageous."
Huang Chang was indignant about this. By the way, as the fifth reunion became bigger again, their group of subordinates became "lords" under the leadership of Huang Chang, and they all hoped to have a higher vocational vocational in the Shouliang County Mansion established by the fifth reunion.
“You can’t say that.
The fifth reunion was not angry, at least on the surface, he said: "The King of Yangping, is a royal family member at least."
The prosperity of the Wang family began when Wang Zhengjun entered the palace as his descendant. Her family became prosperous. Her father was named Marquis of Yangping. Wang Feng, the Grand Sima General during the reign of Emperor Cheng of Han, inherited this title. Now it has been passed down to the fifth generation, Wang Mo.
In terms of seniority, Wang Mo of Yangping was Wang Mang's distant nephew, but unlike Wang Yi, Wang Kuang and others, who were ranked among the fourth auxiliary and third dukes, after the establishment of the new dynasty, the Yangping Hou was not valued. Because Wang Mang had very strict control over the royal family, Wang Mo simply returned to the hometown of Yangping and was happy to be a local tyrant.
Since the fifth reunion entered Shouliang, local heroes have been welcomed by the king's army, but Wang Mo, although his fortress was surrounded by red eyebrows in the first half of the year, but now, he still holds his own identity as a royal family and refuses to condescend to visit the fifth reunion.
Even so, Di Wulun still borrowed the territory of the county temple and held a banquet to invite him. He was mainly curious about how the current clan relatives in the local area had their power compared to the previous clan members who were blooming everywhere?
Before the banquet, the fifth reunion asked someone to transfer the land acres to see the map book. The local clerk pointed out the picture book that ordinary people could not understand and told the fifth reunion which land and houses belonged to Wang Mo.
I didn't know if I didn't look at it, but after watching it, the fifth reunion was shocked: "Are you sure that it's only thirty hectares?"
"Thirty hectares, the royal family in counties, whether they are marquis or corpses, must be only this number, and must not exceed."
The fifth relationship is a bit pitiful. The land of the fifth family is not as high as the first time. If we count it based on real estate, this dignified Yangping Hou is actually a small landlord. Compared with Zhu Liu from Hebei who often has three or four hundred hectares or even thousands of hectares, he is simply a younger brother.
It turned out that it was the result of Wang Mang's strict implementation of the Wangtian restriction order in his family. Although this policy is difficult to promote throughout the world, it does not prevent Wang Mang from conducting pilot projects among his clans. He is responsible for one by one, and there is no domineering and extravagant person who was the five marquis of the Wang family in the previous dynasty of "defeating the capital and even the outer Du". Wang Mang often killed his sons, and the clans were all trembling with fear.
In contrast, the Liu people in Hebei have many fields and even undermined counties, which is really more popular than others.
"It is worthy of being Daxin. The sword from the previous dynasty can really kill the officials of the current dynasty."
However, probably because of the suppression for too long, after Chi Zhaoping retreated in the first half of the year, Marquis Yangping began to occupy land frantically, using his clan status as a marquis to enclose land around the fort. The government with incomplete local personnel dared to say a word, and Wang Mo moved out a large group of relatives of high-ranking officials and nobles in Chang'an to suppress it.
This is in conflict with the fifth plan to use unowned fields as public fields.
While thinking, he shouted outside: "Harao Yangping is here!"
Wu Lun stood up to greet him, but saw Wang Mo in his twenties, Gao Guanbo led him, bowed to Di Wu Lun and brought him a gift.
But they were two little dwarfs who performed funny shows at the banquet. It seemed that this was the joy of Wang Mopingsu who saved the rich people from empty life at home.
Wang Mo met the fifth rein and glanced at Huang Chang beside him, and said strangely: "It turns out that the fifth duke also raises dwarfs."
The fifth reunion was solemn: "Horse Yangping admitted his mistake. This is my subordinate, and Huang Menggao, the inner yellow man."
Wang Mo stared at the dwarf with wide eyes, then looked at the two little Changyou behind him. He couldn't help laughing, and only covered his sleeves with laughter, saying that he was a mistake in his mouth and apologized to Huang Chang. Huang Chang smiled and seemed to be disobedient, but he was furious in his heart. He looked at Wang Mo hatefully during the banquet.
After chatting for a few words, the Fifth Reun found that the Marquis of Yangping was indeed extremely unaware of the situation. The Fifth Reun called on the Shouliang and other surnames to send food to help fight against the thieves. Wang Mo also wanted to do something special, and the excuse said that his land was small and his family was sparse. In turn, he had to send someone to protect him!
As for the land that I occupied privately during this period, I would never let go.
Wu Lun stopped chopping and said, "Your Majesty has always been strict with the royal family. If the actions of the Marquis of Yangping are done, the capital will know..."
"It was not the same time. I had already written a letter to Your Majesty through the Grand Sikong." Wang Mo was not afraid at all and smiled: "In my opinion, the reason why Jizhou and Yanzhou are so chaotic is because the royal family is not strong. We should follow the ancient times, feudal relatives used their vassals to protect Zhou. Today, it is time to reuse the clan relatives!"
This Wang Mo might want to be the county magistrate like Wang Hong, who was taking poison in Puyang!
In his words, he either sent people several rewards to him every year, or Wang Yi, the Grand Secretary, loved him a lot. After all, by seniority, his family was the main body of the Wang family.
It’s so hard to tell, no wonder that even the Wang family can’t make it out among the wine-filled Wang family.
Wu Lun smiled and sent away the drunk Wang Mohou, and Huang Chang came over immediately.
"Lord, I have recently read Zhuangzi's article "Xu Wugui" and I have a lot of experience."
"Why is it different for those who are the world to shepherd horses? It's just to get rid of the horses that harm them!"
The implication is that Wang Mo is the bad sheep in Shouliang County. Moreover, with this person on his side, he can report to the court for big and small matters with his identity as a royal family, and even ask the Five Wisdoms to know, which will make the Fifth Reunion unable to let go of his hands and feet.
But no matter how Huang Chang advised him, the fifth reunion did not express his opinion. The genius was black. The fifth reunion said that he would drink today, stop working, and yawn to rest.
Every day, the Administrative Officer Cao was on duty. Today it was Huang Chang's turn. He was still thinking about Wang Mo's humiliation before the banquet. He was indignant and thought of countless ways to retaliate against Wang Mo.
When it was dark, the seventh Biao, who was promoted to the bride of the fifth thief Cao, rushed to report.
"What happened. Yang Ping Houche was attacked while returning to the fort!"
"What!"
Huang Chang was both surprised and happy. Which hero did a good thing!
Qibiao said: "Of course it's the Red Eyebrow. There are Red Eyebrow thieves who don't know how to cross the river. When I bring people to arrive, it's too late."
Marquis Yangping died on the spot, with more than ten people attached to him, and many others were killed and injured. Witnesses all testified that they saw dozens of fully armed red-eyed thieves with brown-colored foreheads coming at night and leaving in the dark. Now the entire Yangping garrison has been mobilized to search for the red-eyed thieves.
But how is this possible? Ma Yuan kept the river defense tightly. Even if there were a small group of red eyebrows swimming over, why did he take action against Yangpinghou? Unless...
Huang Chang was shocked and looked at the closed door of the fifth reunion and had a bold idea.
He just made an opinion, but before the lord's banquet was over, he thought Wang Muwang could not meet, so he arranged for someone to do it directly!
As for the trauma of attacking friendly forces, the Seventh Biao had done a lot of helping the Fifth Ren as early as the New Qinzhong, and he was really familiar with it.
After the two of them gently knocked on the fifth reunion bedroom and informed him of the matter, the fifth reunion did not cry on the spot and sighed, "I am so sorry, Marquis Yangping."
While feeling the fifth reunion, he also asked Chang Huang to draft a memorial immediately: "The Red Eyebrows were so arrogant that they harmed the life of Yangping Hou. It was probably because of the assistance of the thief on the fifth floor of Liaocheng. When the court learned that Yangping Hou was dead, it should be able to understand how serious the Red Eyebrows thief was in Shouliang!"
Huang Chang readily agreed, but the fifth reunion called him alone: "Meng Gao was wronged today."
"Lord!" Huang Chang fell to the ground directly. Did the fifth man have the intention to vent his anger for him when doing this? He was grateful for his tears.
Wu Lun smiled and said, "But in the future, don't say this to the black sheep in front of Ma Wenyuan. If he hears it, he will be afraid to annoy you."
...
The wise people knew who did the death of Yangping Hou, but they could only be silent. Wang Mo left, no one in Shouliang County could communicate directly with the court. Whether it was black or white, thief or official, wasn’t it all the final say?
If the time had not come, Di Wulun would have wanted to dig up the ancestral tomb of the Wang family in Yuancheng with Chi Zhaoping on the other side.
You can't move Yuancheng, and you can't move you just Marquis Yangping? Seeing that Wang Mo was really confused, Di Wu Lun didn't have the patience to play slowly with him, and directly instructed Di Qi Biao to take action. This killing was really straightforward and refreshing.
Wang Mang didn't even care about his grandson's death. He didn't care about his distant nephew or his grandson. He didn't care about his fifth relationship. Instead, he felt that the Red Eyebrow was really serious.
After the lesson of Yangping Hou's tragic death, the surnames in the county also actively embraced the new government of the Fifth Duke. They actively donated grain and had half of the manpower. The four counties received more than 2,000 people, plus the three or four thousand collected by the Wei County Haoyou, a powerful armed miscellaneous army under the Fifth Army was born.
This group of people was personally directed by the Fifth Reunion. After all, it is difficult for others to use the right people who are in power except him.
The main force was still Ma Yuan's two thousand militia. Geng Chun also brought the remaining troops of Gengshi who had been adapted for more than two thousand months. In late November, large troops gathered near Yangping County, with flags like clouds and camps like hills. However, because they were not subordinate to each other, they seemed a little confused. They still rely on the arrangement of the fifth relationship to each other and restore some order.
The fifth relationship is as stable as an old dog on the surface, and he feels very nervous.
"The number of people is nearly ten thousand, which is the biggest battle I have ever fought."
In the hearts of people who play power, the fifth reunion has been in the Daxin officialdom for many years, and he dare not say that he has entered the house, at least he has become a member of the family.
But when it comes to war, Diwu Ren was still a little unconfident. I remember that when he first held a large-scale event in Diwuli: in the autumn club, he was ridiculed by his grandfather Diwu, saying that his grandson could only be a "city chief".
After training slowly, the Fifth Ba said that he could be a "hundred" and "military waiter". Until Yang Xiong's death, the Fifth Reun asked to go to the border in order to protect himself and became a brave army of Zhu Tufeng. The thousand generals were indeed well-organized.
But since the attack on the Huns in the New Qin Dynasty, the Fifth Reunification has not commanded the battle for more than two years. Is it possible to control tens of thousands of people now?
He held his hand and said to himself, "It's up to man to do it. You have to practice your hands when your opponent is just a small thief. Otherwise, what should you do if you encounter a stronger enemy in the future? This is the case with the new soldiers under my command, and I am the same."
Although Ma Yuan, Geng Chun and others were easy to use, the fifth reunion was unwilling to rely too much on them, so they resisted everyone's request for battle and served as the commander-in-chief.
Everyone had no objection. After all, Duke Dou Zhou blew the fifth reunion into the flower of famous generals, and Yan You also gave all the military skills. In addition, the fifth reunion did not take action easily, so no one expected that this guy was actually Zhao Kuo.
This nervous mood did not calm down until a news from the south came.
"The Li family in Wancheng, Nanyang, conspired to rebel with the Liu family in Chongling. Now that the Li family is surrounded, Liu Bosheng has also initiated the matter and claims to be..."
"Han soldiers!"
Although the person was not mentioned in the news, as if he did not exist, the fifth reunion would never forget that Uncle Liu Wen, who showed off his face with a pseudonym.
Although Liu is still watching today, there are very few people who dare to make trouble. If it is not considered Lu Fang in the north, Liu Bosheng's brothers dare to be the first in the world and put forward the banner, which makes the fifth reunion even more certain.
"I found you!"
For some reason, at this moment, the fifth reunion was not angry at the time of passing by this person, but instead felt a little happy.
How to describe this mood?
He was searching for him thousands of times in the crowd.
Looking back suddenly, the show was in the dim lights!
That’s right, Liu Xiu, it’s Liu Xiu!
Wu Lun felt a little more vigorous fighting spirit in his heart. Isn’t it just a battle between nearly 10,000 people? This battle must be commanded.
After all, this name is the only one that the fifth reunite is familiar with except Wang Mang, and is also the Taoist symbol in this rare era. Even if he is just a small person now and a small spot of light, it does not prevent the fifth reunite from regarding him as a potential powerful enemy in the future.
"Uncle Wen's side has already opened."
"I can't stop moving!"
...
