Wei Yunqi, the censor of the Secretary, arrived at Guancheng, the capital of Xingyang.

Yang Qing, the prefect of Xingyang, was welcomed by the county magistrate, county magistrate and other county officials, as well as many local nobles in Henan such as the Zheng family in Xingyang, welcomed each other in high profile and held banquets.

A high-profile welcome is to give face to Dongdu. The deputy chief of the Censorate was ordered to inspect the front line of Tongji Canal, which represented the emperor and the central government. This face must be given. The situation on the front line of Tongji Canal is very bad now. The government and Yingyang Mansion deliberately inaction, and local forces may watch coldly or take advantage of troubled waters. All these things really cannot withstand the inspection of the poor, so they hold the mentality of "I respect you one foot, and you give me one foot" and bring the relationship closer first.

Eating is a small matter, and suppressing the rebellion is a big matter. But to Wei Yunqiu, he asked people, horses, money and food, and the full support of local governments, Yingyang Mansion and nobles. Therefore, he also put down his posture and took the initiative to cater to the rebellion, striving to reach a compromise with all parties, and strive to form a team to suppress the rebellion in the shortest time.

The Zheng family in Xingyang fulfilled their promise and cooperated with all their strength. In the extraordinary period, the nobles and nobles who escaped from Jiyin who also actively responded to the call of the Zheng family and led their village clan groups to Junyi to gather together and follow Wei Yunqi to suppress the rebellion and suppress the thieves.

Since the white-haired thieves led the Southwest Shandong Rebel Alliance into the Central Plains, they not only held countless Henan victims hostages, but also used these victims to attack cities and capture villages, burn, kill and loot, causing huge losses to the local nobles and nobles. Some even lost their families and lost their families. The loss of control of the Ji, He Waterway and Tongji Canal waterways has dealt a heavy blow to the nobles and nobles who rely on these two waterways to make wealth. All those who suffered losses hated the White-haired thieves and the Southwest Shandong Rebel Alliance, and their willingness to suppress the rebellion and suppress the thieves was very strong. However, the Henan nobles took the Zheng family of Xingyang as the "big banner" and only the Zheng family of Xingyang was the leader. The Zheng family was facing the crisis that was coming and faced with difficult-to-estimate losses, and they repeatedly endured the reasons behind this. Everyone had a clear idea of ​​the reason behind this.

Zheng was looking for opportunities to fight back and was working hard to find allies to maximize their interests. Although Zheng did have the strength to suppress the rebellion and suppress the thieves and was willing to pay enough price, the premise was that Zheng could not stand up and could not waste his energy, and he had to win enough rewards. Of course, he could not make wedding clothes for others. Zheng was waiting for the price, and Wei ran over quickly. The two sides hit it off and the transaction was successful.

Zheng family sent people, and local governments paid money. Yang Qing, the prefect of Xingyang, Dugu Cheng, the prefect of Dongjun, Wei Baoluan, the prefect of Jiyin, and Li Dan, the prefect of Liangjun, either personally made a promise to Wei Yunqi, or sent an envoy to submit letters, promising to do his best to provide money and grain support.

Wei Yunqi stayed in Guancheng for a day, learned about the latest situation on the front line of Tongji Canal, and implemented the preliminary preparations for suppressing the rebellion and suppressing the thieves one by one. Then he set off to rush to Junyi City.

Wu Ben Lang General Fei Yao and Xingyang Duwei Cui Baode led Chief Zhu Yingyang and local officials to the outside of the city to greet him.

Fei Yao had received a secret letter from Yuan Wendu, and Cui Baode also learned from the family's secret letter that the political situation in the Dongdu was changed. Both of them knew that Wei was willing to push King Yang Nan of Qi to the throne of crown prince this time. Wei Yunqi might have the intention of "destroying the merits and making the crimes" and even went barefoot to fight for King Yang Nan of Qi.

Yuan Wendu clearly told Fei Yao that without the orders of the emperor and the central government, the garrison troops in the capital would not take a step beyond the natural barriers and guards. Even if the generals of the Guards who stayed in the Eastern Capital had different interests, they would not dare to call the army without authorization in the face of the principle of major issues. In other words, the current attitude of the Eastern Capital military was very tough. Unless the Tongji Canal was interrupted, they had to act first and then report according to the law of military development (wartime system), otherwise one soldier would never be sent out of the capital to suppress the rebellion.

Yuan Wen warned Fei Yao based on this, and Wei Yun was ruthless and decisive, acted treacherously and did not follow the rules. Once he was blocked in the battlefield of suppressing rebellion, he was very likely to cut off the Tongji Canal under the name of a rebel, and thus forced the garrison troops in the capital to go out of the capital to suppress the thieves. If the situation worsens, the first one would be Fei Yao and Cui Baode, who were both in charge of Jun Yi, and they would definitely come out of the seclusion. Yuan Wen asked Fei Yao to refuse to come out of the seclusion. Yuan's support for the King of Qi was very limited, and he was even more careful about Wei. The last dimension of Yuan had already given Wei a shame, which made him lose face and was mute. So if Wei used his old trick again this time, Yuan would not only not be deceived, but would give him a head-on blow. Do you think I was a soft persimmon?

Wei Yunqi inspected the fortress of the pass, and then asked Fei Yao and Cui Baode for help, saying that I wanted to go out to suppress the thieves, but those who followed me were all local village clan armed groups, and lacked weapons. Do you support me?

Fei Yao and Cui Baode agreed immediately.

Fei Yao was entrusted by Yuan Wendu. Since the Yuan family cooperated with Wei, they always had to express themselves and could not speak vernacularly. Cui Baode was forced to ask for help from Zheng family in Xingyang and refused to agree. After all, the two families have been more cooperative than confrontation for a long time, and this little thing cannot be put on the table and is just a favor.

The next day, Wei Yunqi left Junyi City, crossed the Tianqian Pass to defend himself, and headed straight for the ancient Yellow River Road more than 20 miles away.

The prefect of Jiyin, Wei Baoluan, and more than 2,000 Tuanzong Tuan Group soldiers in Jiyin Township, arrived at the ancient Yellow River Road two days ago, waiting for Wei Yunqi to arrive.

Wei Yunqi is in his fifties, with a medium figure, thin body, a stiff and cold face, and a pair of sharp eyes as sharp as a knife under his sword eyebrows, which makes people intimidate.

Wei Baoluan, who is rich and round, looks gentle and friendly, although he is a Duke of the State, has no advantage in front of Wei Yunqi. On the contrary, he is quite nervous and even a little afraid.

In fact, not to mention that Wei Baoluan was afraid of Wei Yunqi, other officials of Jiyin County were all trembling in front of Wei Yunqi. In addition to the identity of deputy chief of the Censorate, Wei Yunqi also made the bureaucrats frightened and uneasy, the bloody killing on the battlefield also brought him a bad reputation. After he defeated the Khitans with the hands of the Turks, he captured more than 40,000 people, including all males. For a moment, the heads rolled and blood flowed into a river, making all the northern captives change their faces and feel terrified. A person who killed tens of thousands of northern captives while chatting and laughing, and his hands were covered with blood, was a demon-like existence. Who is not afraid?

Sure enough, Wei Yunqi raised his hand and killed people. Except for Wei Baoluan, the county magistrate, who was really not qualified to kill, all other officials, including those who abandoned the city and fled, were killed. In a blink of an eye, dozens of heads fell to the ground, hanging bloodily outside the gate, everyone was in danger and frightened.

The person responsible for the execution was Yang Qian. When King Yang Qing of Xun intended to introduce Yang Qian to Wei Yunqi, Wei Yunqi knew it clearly. Without hesitation, he recruited Yang Qian as his recorder and participated in the military affairs, and took charge of the general Cao Wenbook, placing good and evil, and entrusting important tasks. It was obvious that he wanted to tie the royal family to his "ship".

Yang Qian returned to Wei Yunqi, and everyone was killed, and the beheading was revealed to the public. All the powers that should be established were established. Next, we must integrate the village clan regiments that came from all over the country as quickly as possible to form the army as soon as possible. Yang Qian is also responsible for the relevant matters of the establishment of the army.

After Yang Qian finished his detailed report, Wei Yunqi nodded frequently with admiration. Suddenly he asked, "Are you in Yingyang Mansion in Licheng before?"

"I took office as Sima in Yingyang Mansion, Licheng."

"So, have you fought with the white-haired thief?"

"Does Ming Gong want to know about the white-haired thief?" Yang Qian asked with a smile.

"I know part of him." Wei Yunqi sneered, "When he burned the white horse and kidnapped the censor, he shocked the Eastern Capital, which was notorious, but then he gathered people to rebel in Mangdang Mountain and plundered heavy troops on Tongji Canal. Then he flicked a fictitious shot and turned around to kill Qilu and mongshan. Now, he actually entered the Central Plains again. What he was very puzzled was why Dong Chun and Liang Dezhong could not kill such a traitor with poor strength? Why could Zhang Xutuo and Duan Wencao not kill?"

Wei Yunqi looked at Yang Qian with a cold look on his eyes, "Can you tell me an answer?"

Yang Qian hesitated for a moment, and wanted to speak but stopped.

Wei Yunqi snorted coldly, "What do you dare not say in front of someone?"

Yang Qian bowed slightly and asked cautiously, "It is rumored that when the white-haired thief Baima escaped from prison, an auspicious person appeared in the White Horse City. I wonder if Mr. Ming had heard of it?"

Wei Yunqi's eyes narrowed slightly, his eyes were gloomy and his face was even cold.

"who?"

"I don't know." Yang Qian's answer was very crisp.

Wei Yunqi stared at Yang Qian's eyes, as if he wanted to see through his eyes, but Yang Qian's eyes were clear and calm, and his expression was calm, and he seemed to have no intention of deceiving them.

"Do you suspect there is a black hand behind the white-haired thief?"

"There must be a black hand behind the white-haired thief." Yang Qian said with a firm tone, "In the battle of Ningyang, the white-haired thief defeated Duan Envoy and had already taken the initiative in the battlefield in southwestern Shandong. He could take advantage of the momentum to expand the victory and develop and grow with Mengshan as the center, but he did not. He actually entered the Central Plains incredibly. How could such a magical move be made out of a rebellious hand of a horse thief from the desert?"

Wei Yunqi concentrating and pondered for a long time, he slowly said, "If there is a traitor, this battle will be difficult to fight."

Yang Qian did not speak. What he was worried about was not the traitor, but the Eastern Expedition.

"Ming Gong, this battle is not difficult to fight, but how to fight."

Wei Yunqi heard something in Yang Qian's words, and his eyes showed doubts.

"The Donglai Navy is about to go on a war. At this time, Ruoming Gong fought fiercely and urgently, forcing the white-haired thieves to retreat to Qilu and cut off the transportation channel from Xuzhou to Donglai. It will definitely affect the navy's crossing the river and the ongoing Eastern Expedition."

Wei Yunqi's face changed slightly, and he was speechless for a while.

Command of the Southwest Shandong Rebel Alliance and the General Administration Office.

Xiao Yi hurried into the coach's tent and pulled Li Fengyun into the side tent without saying a word.

"Junyi is here, the secret envoy." Xiao Yi whispered, "The Censor Wei Yunqi, the Censor of the Secretary, has arrived at Junyi and is going to recruit all the village clan groups in Henan to launch an attack on our rebel army."

Wei Yunqi? Li Fengyun frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and said to Xiao Yi, "Invite Pushan Gong, he should get the news before us, and Dongdu may have already drawn up a countermeasure."
