    Chapter 52: The Legend of General Er

    As soon as he entered Taiyuan Mansion, Liu Huai asked his subordinate He Wei, who was proficient in criminal justice, to hear the case. Then Liu Huai immediately summoned the main generals from Hedong to the mansion for "interviews" to prevent any possible chaos. The generals from Hedong were very cooperative.  , with an order, everyone gathered at Liu Huai's house, and on the other side, in less than half a day, He Wei successfully tried the case against the Hedong assassin.

    He Wei showed extraordinary talent and amazing efficiency. Although it was only one family who initially sued the Hedong governor, after the news that the prince was going to try Wang Chengye, people came to complain in droves.  He Wei was not at all confused. After classifying the complainants, he tried dozens of cases clearly in front of the court.  []

    Sure enough, Wang Chengye took advantage of his power as the Hedong governor to collect bribes and expropriate people's houses on a large scale. In just a few months as the Hedong governor, Wang Chengye amassed hundreds of millions of dollars in property and thousands of hectares of fertile land under his command.  , there are hundreds of houses in the city!

    The results of the case were reported to Liu Huai as soon as possible, but Liu Huai, who already hated corrupt officials, felt hesitant for the first time. The reason was simple. Although Wang Chengye was not a good bird, he had made considerable achievements in the military.

    When Wang Chengye first served as the governor of Hedong, the number of troops in Hedong was less than 10,000 and the number of cavalry was less than 100. Nomads from Hexi invaded the army many times. However, in less than half a year after Wang Chengye took office, in just a few months, the number of troops in Hedong increased to 30,000. Among them, there were actually 30,000 soldiers.  Ten thousand were cavalry, and Wang Chengye defeated the enemy invaders many times. He once crossed the Yellow River for hundreds of miles to pursue the enemy invaders. His powerful strength made the nomads in Hexi never dare to cross the Yellow River to invade Hedong!

    Such generals are really rare!

    Wang Chengye is a member of the Wang family of the Dongping clan. His ancestors have made a living by farming for generations. During the troubled times, most of the Wang family members followed Liu Fuheng in his expeditions to the north and south. Wang Chengye was no exception. Wang Chengye, who had been martial since he was a child, was good at using a big axe.  Known as "Wang Daaxe".

    He first served Liu Fuheng, the general of Zhaoyong. Liu Fuheng used his bravery to join his own soldiers and followed him in the southern and northern wars. Wang Chengye moved to Yuhou, the capital of the heroic cavalry army, and later became the captain of the Zhaoyi military school and a partial general, and then fought all the way.  He had great military exploits. When Liu Fuheng rebelled, Wang Chengye was already the commander of the Zhaoyi Army and one of the only three generals of the cavalry under Liu Fuheng.

    After the founding of the Han Dynasty, there was an extreme shortage of officials, and there were not many people who could be trusted. The situation in Hedong was quite complicated, and a trusted general was needed. Liu Fuheng first thought of Wang Chengye, who was brave and good at fighting, and asked him to serve as the governor of Hedong.

    Since Hedong is located in the border fortress, after the chaos in the world, nomads from Hexi often harassed the border fortress. At that time, Wang Chengye, who had just been appointed as the governor of Hedong, had less than a hundred cavalry under his command. However, Wang Chengye actually took the initiative to attack, avoid the real situation and attack the weak, and faced small groups of enemies, relying on  With Wang Chengye's force and excellent command, the Hedong Army will win every battle!

    There are large tracts of pasture in the land of Hedong, and there is no shortage of herders. Therefore, Wang Chengye, who captured a large number of nomadic war horses, did not have to worry about finding horsemen. After winning consecutive battles, he captured a large number of war horses, and the cavalry in Hedong was like a snowball.  The number is getting bigger and bigger, forming a scale of tens of thousands of people!

    Wang Chengye had a cruel temperament. Once the nomadic invaders in Hexi were captured by Wang Chengye, Wang Chengye did not impose any punishment. Instead, he summoned his colleagues and subordinates to have a banquet, and then dragged the enemy invaders to the banquet. In full view of the crowd, Wang Chengye tore off the enemy's ears with his hands.  After drinking the wine, all the generals including Wang Chengye were stunned. At this time, the enemy was covered in blood, trembling with fear, and did not dare to move at all!

    And at every banquet, hundreds of captives suffered the same fate.

    After the captives who had lost their ears were released, the nomads in Hexi were very afraid of Wang Chengye. They exclaimed that Wang Chengye was the "God General with Ears" and they did not dare to harass Hedong again!

    Liu Huai was surprised by this. Although he did not agree with Wang Chengye's cruel methods, he also somewhat approved of it.

    At this time, although Wang Chengye accepted bribes wantonly and occupied people's fields and houses unscrupulously, and he should be executed according to law, his military achievements were as amazing as his means of amassing money!  If it were a peaceful and prosperous time, Liu Huai would not hesitate to chop off Wang Chengye's head to please the people of Hedong, but now in troubled times, such an outstanding general is so rare!

    "Your Highness the Crown Prince, although Wang Chengye, the governor of Hedong, occupied thousands of hectares of fertile land and owned hundreds of houses, he did not harm anyone. They all purchased them at low prices using coercion and intimidation." As an aide to the Crown Prince, he has been following for many days.  How could He Wei not understand Liu Huai's hesitation, so He Wei spoke up.

    "Is this serious?" Liu Huai was surprised. He originally thought that the cruel Wang Chengye had invaded people's houses so unscrupulously and committed countless murders, but he did not expect that this Wang Chengye would actually engage in forced buying and selling.

    "It's absolutely true! Your MajestyWe dealt with dozens of families, and none of them suffered any loss of life.  "He Wei said with great certainty.

    "Wang Chengye has the talent of a cavalry commander. If there was peace and prosperity, he would be killed. But now that the world is in chaos, it would be a pity to kill him like this. Wang Chengye should be put in jail first, and his post as an assassin will be revoked after reporting to the court.  We will deal with it later!" Liu Huai weighed it and made a decision.

    "Since Your Highness has his heart, why not take the opportunity to forgive his sins and win his heart." He Wei asked cautiously.

    "This person came from a bad background. After he gained a high position with his bravery, he got carried away and devoted himself to amassing money. It would be good for him to reflect on it in prison!" Liu Huai explained.

    Although Liu Huai can replace Wang Chengye, Wang Chengye is the assassin of Hedong after all, and also serves as the general of Hedong. His authority is comparable to that of the Hedong Jiedushi in the Tang Dynasty, and is similar to a feudal official. Liu Huai thinks it is better to report it  Liu Fuheng is better, and Liu Huai plans to shut down Wang Chengye for a while to let him reflect.

    ***************************************************  *

    Lin'an, Southern Song Dynasty

    "My lord, it's not good, Jia Sidao is coming back. The Queen Mother Xie has ordered Jia Sidao to return to Lin'an to be responsible for sending envoys to the big men in the north!" Xu Ruopu panicked and ran into the palace to report to Zhao Ruohe.

    "What did you say?" Zhao Ruohe was also shocked by the news.

    Zhao Ruohe never thought that Jia Sidao, who had lost his master and humiliated his country, could be reused by the court again. He thought that this traitor would never stand up again after being demoted, but he didn't expect that he still underestimated him!

    Jia Sidao's ability is quite average, but his ability to wield power is quite great. He has been in power for decades. At this time, there are still many officials in the court who were promoted by Jia Sidao. Once Jia Sidao makes a comeback, his party members will return to power.  Gather together, and soon a new force will be formed above the court!

    This is what Zhao Ruohe did not want to see. When Zhao Ruolan went to Japan as a mission, he persuaded Liu Huai to rebel and capture Dadu, thus relieving the danger of the Song Dynasty. However, Zhao Ruolan was a woman, so the credit for this matter fell to the county prince Zhao Ruohe.  Head, so Zhao Ruohe can take charge of the center and serve as Pingzhangjun and state affairs to realize his ideals and ambitions!

    But now it seems that Jia Sidao is about to make a comeback, and the great situation that the Song Dynasty is currently experiencing will be destroyed by him!  Zhao Ruohe, who has the lofty ideal of reviving the Song Dynasty, will never allow anyone to stop the revival of the Song Dynasty!

    After weighing and thinking, Zhao Ruohe made a decision.

    "Summon Zheng Huchen immediately!" Zhao Ruohe ordered Xu Ruopu.

    This Zheng Huchen was originally a county lieutenant in Kuaiji (now Shaoxing, Zhejiang). After Zhao Ruohe came to power, he transferred him to his command when he saw his talent. This Zheng Huchen and Jia Sidao had a sworn hatred!

    Zheng Huchen¡¯s father, Zheng Xun, served as the magistrate of Yuezhou during the reign of Emperor Lizong of the Song Dynasty. Because he did not listen to Jia Sidao¡¯s words, he was framed by Taoist Jia Sidao and was exiled for three thousand miles. He died because of the lack of acclimatization.  Zheng Huchen was also implicated and was exiled to the border area. He was later released under amnesty.  Zheng Huchen then lived in Suzhou for a long time and became a wealthy man. However, Jia Sidao's purchase of public land greatly reduced Zheng Huchen's property!

    Old grudges plus new grudges!

    Therefore, Zheng Huchen became Zhao Ruohe¡¯s best candidate to deal with Jia Sidao!
