Su Wei and Pei Ju looked at each other, and both of them smiled bitterly. It was indeed this. Although they could understand the emperor's decision, after all, Donghai County was close to Jiangdu County, and the threat to Jiangdu was too great. The emperor could not tolerate Meng Haigong being the prefect of Donghai, but doing so was a bit untrustful and even went back on his word. ←,

Yang Guang glanced at Pei Ju, "Pei Gong made his statement first!"

Pei Ju had no choice but to bow and said, "Last time, Your Majesty said that you would consider this matter again in the future. I thought Your Majesty had given up. Unexpectedly, Your Majesty was considering this matter again. Does Your Majesty feel it is really necessary to transfer Duke Meng Hai away?"

"Why is it not necessary!"

Yang Guang stretched his face with some displeasure and said, "The bandits are bandits, and they will not change their nature because of my heavy use. The reason why I gave up temporarily last time was because I was worried that he would collude with the Du bandits in Jianghuai, and disrupt Donghai County and Jiangdu County. Now that the bandits in the Huaihe area have been eradicated, he is alone and he can't help but transfer him away. Besides, I will also make him the prefect and did not treat him badly. What's wrong?"

Pei Su and the others sighed in their hearts. This is not a question of whether to treat it badly or not, but rather a lack of faith. At that time, the condition for Meng Haigong to recruit security was to stay in Donghai County. In order to show sincerity, Meng Haigong even disbanded the army. Now, the Donghai prefect has only been in less than half a year and has to transfer the people away. What should I say?

Su Wei advised: "Neither Wei minister nor Duke Pei will consider Duke Meng Hai's feelings. We are worried about His Majesty's credibility. It is better to wait for another half a year. It will be legitimate to transfer him away early next year."

Yang Guang could not hear the advice at this time. He snorted coldly, "Is it that difficult for me to decide something?"

At this point, Pei Ju and Su Wei dared not persuade him anymore. If he continued to persuade him, he would be furious. Pei Ju had no choice but to say, "If Your Majesty must transfer him away, I have no objection."

"What about you? Su Prime Minister!" Yang Guang's cold eyes turned to Su Wei again.

"I have no objection!"

"Very good, this matter is settled, and Duke Meng Hai is transferred to the prefect of Wenshan County."

Su Wei and Pei Ju both smiled bitterly in their hearts. It would be fine to adjust the place better. But from the east to the west, is Meng Hai Gong willing to go?

Moreover, they know the emperor very well and do not mention how to deal with the officials who have acquainted with the Bohai Association. That means that this matter will never be settled.

The news of the destruction of Miao Haichao's army shocked the Jianghuai people. No one expected that Zhang Xuan had sent troops in just ten days after entering JAC, nor did he expect that Miao Haichao's army was so unbearable that it would be destroyed in one battle. The shock that this result brought to the Jianghuai people was indescribable.

To the west of Licheng County, near Jiangdu County, is a mountain that stretches for hundreds of miles. It is called Liuhe Mountain, which is also a famous iron ore area and has a very important strategic position.

Near a vast mountain in the southeast corner of Liuhe Shandong, there is a military camp covering an area of ​​hundreds of acres. This is Du Fuwei's main business. It is rumored that Du Fuwei is stationed in 36 camps, and no one knows where his main business is?

But no one can connect Du Fuwei's main business with the mine. It is not far from the Yangtze River, and the other side of the Yangtze River is Jiangning County in Danyang County, which is today Nanjing.

After the fall of Southern Chen, Emperor Wen of Sui Yang Jian burned down the palaces of the Six Dynasties with fire. The prosperous and prosperous city of Health gradually declined and was replaced by Jiangdu. The ancient capital of the Six Dynasties became a small Jiangning County.

Du Fuwei traveled across the Yangtze River and Huai River, and advanced along the water and land. Although his main business did not set up a city, he also had his own ideas. He regarded Jiangning as his future capital, so his main business was also located on the north bank of the Yangtze River in Jiangning County, with 5,000 troops stationed.

In the past few days, soldiers of the camp rarely saw the head coach Du Fuwei appear. They all guessed that Miao Haichao's crushing defeat would have a big blow to the head coach.

Indeed, the destruction of Miao Haichao's entire army gave Du Fuwei a heavy blow, which also meant that his power along the Huai River was removed. Although Du Fuwei thought of this result, he did not expect that this day would come so quickly. It happened just ten days after Zhang Xuan entered Jianghuai.

In the big tent, Du Fuwei was drinking alone, and the few personal soldiers next to him did not dare to persuade him. The lord's mood was really bad these days. If he angered him, he would draw his sword to kill people.

At this time, there were rapid footsteps outside the tent, and personal soldiers reported outside the tent: "Report to General, the former general is here!"

The former general was Fu Gongyou and Du Fuwei's closest comrade-in-arms. Du Fuwei was refreshed and his heart was filled with depression. He hurriedly said, "Come in quickly, General Fu!"

Fu Gongyou and Du Fuwei were friends who committed suicide. Du Fuwei was pulled into the water by Fu Gongyou at the age of 16. Although Du Fuwei captured the world of Jianghuai today, everyone knows that without Fu Gongyou's help, Du Fuwei would not have been able to reach this day. Although Fu Gongyou was only a former general, in fact, he was the second lord after Du Fuwei, not a subordinate.

As soon as the curtain was lifted, Fu Gongyou quickly walked into the tent. He was about forty years old, with dark skin, burly figure, big head, wide-mouthed lion's nose, and particularly rough, which was in sharp contrast to the slender and cold Du Fuwei.

Fu Gongyou was almost choked by the strong smell of alcohol in the tent. He frowned and ordered the soldiers on both sides to say, "Why don't you take away the wine!"

Several personal soldiers hurriedly took away the wine glass and the wine pot. Fu Gongyou lifted the curtain again to expose the smell of the wine. Du Fuwei smiled bitterly and said, "Why do you have to do this, brother?"

"Is this what a real man does if he drinks to drown his sorrow after a little setback?"

Du Fuwei knew the elder brother's temper very well. The more he talked back, the more he became, the more he became, the more he was. If he had mistaken his temper, he would have disappeared. Du Fuwei quickly stood up and saluted, "Brother is right, I know that I am wrong."

Fu Gongyan nodded, sat down opposite Du Fuwei, and said to him: "I have gone to the Huaihe River these days and went to check on the spot where Miao Haichao was defeated, which made me very angry."

"what is going on?"

Du Fuwei asked with concern: "How did he lose?"

Fu Gongyu snorted heavily, "Miao Haichao is a complete idiot. It is better to say that he was defeated by his own stupidity than to say that he was defeated by his own stupidity."

Du Fuwei was stunned, "How do you say this?"

Fu Gongyou gritted his teeth with hatred and said, "He once in Yancheng, Gongsun Shangzhe lured into the reed marsh and attacked with fire, causing Gongsun Shangzhe to wipe out the entire army. He was obsessed with this trick. This time he wanted to use the same trick again and use the same method to lure Zhang Xuan. However, he didn't know that Zhang Xuan had already seen through him, used the tricks and annihilated him in one fell swoop."

Before Fu Gongyu could finish his words, Du Fuwei immediately said furiously: "How did I explain to him? Let him hide and avoid the limelight of the Sui army. He actually wants to fight the Sui army!"

Fu Gongyou sighed, "He is indeed very stupid. It would be fine to hide in Huanshui. He also deliberately exposed his whereabouts to let Zhang Xuan know that he was Huanshui. As a result, Zhang Xuan led his army to break into Huanshui and killed him. Even I had to sigh. This is called "God has the potential to do evil, but he can't survive if he commits evil!"

Du Fuwei did not expect Miao Haichao to disobey his military orders again. He thought that Zhang Xuan had found clues about Miao Haichao and then rushed to Miao Haichao's hiding place. It turned out that he was taking it upon himself.

Du Fuwei was so angry that his chest was about to explode. He paced back and forth in the room with his hands. He should have thought that Miao Haichao would not be able to swallow the defeat of the Huaihe River. He should have sent someone to keep an eye on him. Speaking of this, he also has the responsibility for it, and he should have thought of it long ago.

Du Fuwei's anger slowly subsided and he pondered for a long time: "We must learn from Miao Haichao's lessons and cannot repeat the same mistakes!"

Fu Gongyou nodded, "This is what I want to discuss with you. Did the general not find a big loophole in our military deployment?"

"You mean our troops are too dispersed?" Du Fuwei immediately understood what Fu Gongyan meant.

"Isn't it?"

Fu Gongyou stared at Du Fuwei with bright eyes, "Although our troops are numerous, they are scattered in more than a dozen places, and they are easily defeated by the Sui army. More importantly, the scattered troops will weaken the general's control ability. For example, Miao Haichao. The root cause of his annihilation this time is that he did not obey the command and acted without authorization. Why is this happening? Because he did not regard the general as his lord in his bones, he felt that he was the lord of the Huai River."

Every word of Fu Gongyou said to Du Fuwei, he was actually not willing to do this. The main reason for the dispersion of troops today was that he and Fu Gongyou were outsiders.

The two escaped from Qi County and continued to annex many sporadic bandits in Jianghuai. Although these bandits agreed to be the main one, they were unwilling to leave the place they controlled or give up the army. In the end, Du Fuwei had to compromise.

Miao Haichao is a typical example. Before he went to Jianghuai, Miao Haichao was a bandit active on the Huaihe River. When Miao Haichao surrendered, his condition was to continue to control the Huaihe River. At that time, Miao Haichao had more than 10,000 people under him, and he also wanted to control the Huaihe River through Miao Haichao, so he agreed to his conditions. Unexpectedly, the root cause of Miao Haichao's domineeringness and disobeying military orders was finally planted.

But it is so difficult to change the situation where Du Fuwei is stationed in various places now. This involves the interests of too many people and will inevitably be unanimously opposed by many subordinates.

Du Fuwei also sighed, "Let me think about this matter again!"

He had to think of a perfect solution to this problem, although he knew that this change would touch the vital interests of many people, no matter how difficult it was, he would have to change it. (To be continued.)
