The court did not pay attention to it at first, but gradually, local rangers in various counties and rangers from the Wei Kingdom frequently clashed over territory, which forced the court to pay attention to this phenomenon.

Even Chu Shuli, the chief minister of the Daliang Mansion, reported to Chui Gong Hall soon after that the reason for the instability of public security in Daliang in recent days was the influx of a large number of knights from the Wei Kingdom into Daliang. These people robbed the mainland of Daliang in order to survive.

As a result of his job as a ranger, conflicts between the two groups continued, and several lives were lost.

To be honest, the court originally turned a blind eye to the robbing and fighting between the Jianghu Rangers. After all, snakes have their own ways and rats have their own ways. It is unrealistic to expect these people to disappear completely.

Therefore, as long as these rangers did not cause trouble to the government, the court always turned a blind eye.

In view of the power of the imperial court, the local rangers in Wei have always been relatively disciplined. For example, two gangs fighting for territory will never happen on a few main streets. They will solve it on their own in a remote corner, even with corpses.

Let's deal with it all and not cause any more trouble to the Criminal Department.

After all, once the window paper is pierced, the Imperial Guard will definitely intervene, which will not be of any benefit to the rangers on both sides.

However, in recent days, due to the influx of a large number of rangers from the Wei Kingdom into the Kingdom of Wei, and even coming to the royal capital of Daliang to make a living, this inevitably violated the interests of the Kingdom of Wei and the local rangers in Daliang, and thus conflicts occurred.

Why did the Weiguo knights pour into Wei in large numbers?

In fact, the reason is very simple, it is because these knights were completely disappointed with King Fei of Wei, or to put it more simply, they were completely disappointed with Wei who lost Duke Ziyu of Wei, which led to a large loss of the population of Wei to Wei.

Gao Kuo's guess was correct. After losing his son Wei Yu, the country of Wei was destined to collapse from now on, but this can be seen from the people's aspirations of the Wei people.

In view of this incident, the Wei court had a dispute for the first time in a long time.

The Judicial Office, represented by the Ministry of Punishment, stated that the influx of these guards, especially the Wei State Rangers, had greatly affected the security of the Wei State; while the Ministry of Husbandry and the Ministry of Rites stated that the influx of foreigners settling in the country was not a problem.

Is it a good thing?

In the end, the imperial court reached a unanimous attitude: to accept these refugees from Weiguo, but they must be restrained, especially those Weiguo rangers who are accustomed to going their own way.

A few days later, the imperial court ordered the imperial guards to intervene in the matter. One hundred thousand imperial guards received the order and were sent to various places in Liang County to suppress the local rangers. Anyone who encountered a street fight would be arrested first.

Let’s talk about it later, as for those who resisted the arrest, they were all killed on the spot.

How can the Ranger force defeat the Praetorian Guard?

For a time, the ranger force was in turmoil. Both the rangers of the Wei Kingdom and the rangers of the Wei Kingdom had to put their tail between their legs and pretend to be good and obedient to the people in front of the powerful imperial guards.

This continued until winter came. When the year was approaching, the imperial court ordered the withdrawal of the Imperial Guards sent to various places. As expected, the ranger forces became much more peaceful. Even though there were still conflicts between the Wei Rangers and the Wei Rangers,

They no longer dare to fight openly and openly in broad daylight, and most of the time they meet in remote alleys to resolve them.

In this case, the imperial court continued their previous attitude of turning a blind eye. After all, when the water is clear, there are no fish. The existence of rogues like rangers, no matter what era they are in,

It is difficult to completely eliminate it.

It is worth mentioning that among the rangers who defected to the Wei State, many of them hoped to join the Wei army because they could not find a living. This gave the Wei State a lot of young and strong soldiers, which was really a surprise.

joy.

During this period, Zhao Hongrun also called the Green Crows to pay attention to Weiguo. He mainly wanted to know that although the smelting workshop that Wei Yu had worked so hard to develop was very weak, at least with Wei Yu's efforts, Weiguo's smelting

Manufacturing technology has also gradually developed.

However, it is a pity that after Wei Yu's death, these smelting workshops gradually stopped working and then became abandoned.

"Weiguo is completely ruined..."

After learning about this, Zhao Hongrun couldn't help but sigh in the Manlu Hall.

I still remember that when Wei Gong Ziyu was alive, although the Wei Kingdom was weak, it gradually showed a prosperous and developing situation. However, this new look of prosperity and development disappeared all of a sudden after Wei Yu's unfortunate death.

In fact, because of this civil strife, many people in Weiguo were completely disappointed with King Wei Fei, so that today's Weiguo is actually weaker than before Wei Yu came forward to rectify domestic affairs.

Under such circumstances, can Wei Guo defend Dongjun, which Wei Yu captured from Qi?

Zhao Hongrun is not optimistic.

In his opinion, Qi State is still at war with Chu State, but has no time to take care of Wei State. However, when Qi State repels Chu State and takes action to deal with Wei State, Wei Yu may not be able to capture Qi State before.

Territories will be spit out one by one.

What's more, the weakness of Weiguo will make Han, Chu and other countries have some thoughts about it.

In short, Wei Yu's death caused Wei Guo to miss a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to strengthen itself.

In the winter of the second year of Wei Xing'an, the Chu State attacked Qi State for the second time, but still failed to capture Qi State's Langya County.

In view of the fact that the national strength could no longer support the war, King Xiong Tuo of Chu finally accepted Qi's peace talks. The two countries took "maintaining the current territory" as the basis. After several negotiations, they finally shook hands and made peace, ending the long war.

The "Battle of Qi and Chu" lasted for more than two years.

After reaching an agreement, except for the necessary troops stationed in Donghai County, the rest of Chu's troops gradually withdrew into the country.

It has to be said that this situation is very beneficial to Wei State, because although Chu State captured Qi State's Surabaya and Donghai counties, it failed to completely seize Qi State's wealth. On the other hand, Lu State allowed Zhao Hongrun to

Surprisingly, Huan Hu, the former great thief who suddenly transformed into a general of the Lu State, miraculously defeated Xiang Mo, one of the Three Pillars of the Chu State, and became a hero of the Lu State. In short, Chu State also failed to get

The craftsmanship and technology of the State of Lu.

Under this circumstance, the destined war between Chu and Wei over the Central Plains overlords could only be postponed again.

Qi State, after all, survived with just one breath.

And since the war between Qi State and Chu State has ended, I believe that Qi State will probably start to settle the accounts of Wei State taking advantage of the situation and taking Dongjun.

The Wei State, which has lost its son Wei Yu, really doesn't know how to resist Qi's army.

Will Wei help defend the country?

To be honest, unless Qi's army hits Puyang, the capital of Wei, and approaches Wei, Zhao Run really doesn't want to help Wei against Qi's army.

Perhaps as Jie Ziyu said, the relationship between Wei and Wei had faded the moment the young master Wei Yu died, at least it was no longer as strong as it once was.

After the New Year, which was the third year of Wei Xing'an, the countries of the Central Plains ushered in a new year of relative peace.
