Ye Zheng lit a cigarette for himself on the Grand Master's chair in his room. While smoking, he thought about being recruited this time. He knew that his expedition to Cangliang had turned the entire Qingjiang County upside down in order to save Deng Sanniang. In addition, he had killed the Crown Prince of Liang, forcing the Prince of Liang into an extremely unfavorable situation. In order to protect the overall situation, he had to use the expedient of recruiting peace. This was enough to make King Liang hate him extremely. However, the current situation was urgent and they were worried about the arms and weapons in their hands, so they did not dare to use force against them. However, Ye Zheng is sure that as long as King Liang calms down and settles the rebellion outside the pass, if he ascends the throne in the future, he will probably be the first to be killed by those desolate and fierce people like himself. A bandit. Even if he cannot become the next emperor of the Great Lie Empire in the future, it is estimated that the governors and territories granted by the imperial court this time should be places that are extremely disadvantageous to desolate mountain bandits like him. Therefore, even if King Liang knew that he could not move him, he could secretly use some tricks to put reckless bandits like him into unfavorable danger. However, these conspiracy methods may be very effective against ordinary people, but they are far from enough to deal with Ye Zheng. Why? Because our leader Ye has an unlimited arsenal. With this heaven-defying artifact, there is no problem that he cannot solve. Before Ye Zheng finished smoking a cigarette in his hand, someone announced outside the door that Wang Po was here. Immediately, he stood up and went to the door, welcomed Wang Po into the house, and after a polite conversation, the two sat down face to face. At this time, a maid from the city lord's government office came up and poured a cup of tea for each of them. At this time, Ye Zheng ordered the maid to close the door and exit. As soon as the maid left, Ye Zheng took a sip of tea and said straight to the point: "Mr. Wang Pei, you should know that I came to you because I want to know something, and I guess you also have something to tell me. " Two gleams flashed in Wang Po's wretched eyes, and he smiled slightly and said, "Your Majesty, do you want to ask me about Beiyuan County? " Ye Zheng nodded and said, "Yes, I just know. The imperial court so generously appointed me as the governor of Beiyuan County to take charge of the ten cities in that county. What kind of place is Beiyuan County? But I am sure that it is not a good place. Otherwise, it would not be possible. Let us, the newly surrendered people, take charge." After Wang Po heard this, he took a deep breath and said, "What your Majesty said is absolutely true. Beiyuan County is located on the northwest border of the Dalie Dynasty. The location is very special and complicated. Beiyuan County is located outside Lianshanguan. The northern part of the county is bordered by the Black Wolf Prairie, and the western part of the county is adjacent to Xiqiao County, one of the seven counties outside the pass. In addition, in There is a small country called Tianluo Kingdom between Xiqu County and Heilang Prairie, which also borders Beiyuan County. In addition to these three major forces, there are countless foreign tribes and tribes adjacent to Beiyuan County. In short, Outside Beiyuan County, there are many powerful forces. Inside Beiyuan County, there is also a mixture of fish and dragons. All kinds of bandits and horse bandits, large and small, are entrenched. Anyway, the current inside and outside of Beiyuan County can only be described in four words. "It's chaotic." Hearing this, Ye Zheng frowned and said, "Beiyuan County is in such chaos and is infested with various forces and bandits. Didn't the Dalie court pay attention to its management before?" Wang Ping shook his head and said with a bitter smile. : "Your Majesty, you may not know something. Although Beiyuan County still belongs to the territory of the Great Lie Dynasty in name and territory, decades ago, when the Hun King of the Prairie led hundreds of thousands of cavalry to invade eastward, They slaughtered all the imperial troops guarding the local area, and used Beiyuan County as a base for invading the Central Plains. They occupied it for a year. Later, because of civil strife among the Xiongnu tribes in the grassland, the Xiongnu king had no choice but to lead the army. The army returned to the grassland to deal with the internal conflicts. " Having said this, Wang Po paused, took a sip of tea, and continued: "As soon as the Xiongnu army on the grassland left, the entire Beiyuan County became a desert. The imperial court later sent a large army to guard it, but the terrain of Beiyuan County was flat and there was no danger to defend it. Every autumn and winter, the various tribes on the Black Wolf Prairie would send brave men. The tribesmen came to burn, kill and loot. The imperial army was no match for these grassland people who were good at conquering and fighting. Anyway, unless they offended the powerful people in the imperial court, no one would choose to become an official there. , because life was really difficult wherever I went. I had to be on tenterhooks all the time, worrying about when those cold-blooded and greedy prairie wolves would suddenly appear to plunder, and there would also be those homeless bandits who would take the opportunity to cause trouble. , In a word, Beiyuan County now is really not a place for people to live in.¡± Hearing this, Ye Zheng smiled coldly and said, ¡°My friend.?I just thought that the imperial court was so generous and handed over a county to our management. It must not be a good place. But after hearing what Mr. said, I really didn¡¯t expect that Beiyuan County was so chaotic and dangerous. In such a situation, it seems that if an ordinary person went there, he really wouldn't be able to stay there. This King Liang is really good at it, hum," Wang Po nodded and said: "The skills of King Liang are really powerful. , On the surface, it seems that he suffered a big loss and was forced to compromise, but a closer look shows that the court basically did not lose anything except giving us a title. Anyway, Beiyuan County, for the court, has long been It's just a dispensable piece of abandoned land. If it weren't for the imperial court's prestige, I estimate that the imperial court would have ordered all the troops and horses in Beiyuan County to be withdrawn to Lianshan Pass, because Beiyuan County's military supplies and supplies are still there. The expenses allocated for various relief missions have long exceeded the imperial government's tax revenue in Beiyuan County. In short, Beiyuan County at this moment is like a bottomless pit. No matter how much military expenditure and money is spent, it is useless. It has no impact at all. It won't make a sound. Now that the imperial court has thrown this hot potato to us, they can completely rest assured and ignore it. It is estimated that every year, at most they will give us a symbolic amount of money and materials, and we will handle the rest by ourselves. " Ye Zheng said disapprovingly: "It would be best if the imperial court doesn't care about us. What we want now is to have a piece of land and develop it slowly and with good reputation. Originally, it was an expedient policy for us to agree to recruit people. I think the King of Liang must also come here. I don¡¯t naively believe that we, a group of unruly and fierce bandits, are really willing to serve the court. In short, everyone knows it well. However, the hatred between us and Prince Liang is definitely settled, but as long as King Liang has not ascended the throne for a day, and the rebellious forces in the seven counties outside the pass have not been resolved for another day. It is estimated that he does not have the time or the energy to deal with us. After we arrive in Beiyuan County, we can feel at ease in the past few years. It has developed and grown. " Having said this, Ye Zheng paused, lowered his head, lit a cigarette for himself, took a deep breath, and said with a cold smile: "This old fox, Prince Liang, I guess he originally wanted to destroy this mess in Beiyuan County. On us, we can bring down our strength. Then it will be much easier to deal with us. However, he never thought that I, Ye Zheng, am not afraid of anything but that I will have no territory and no time to develop. Now it is better, both of these two things I have it all now, hum It won't take long, after I clean up all the mess in Beiyuan County and become completely stronger, then my fight for world domination will begin. " Hearing this, Wang Po nodded and said nothing more, because what Ye Zheng said was indeed the truth.
