Shi Wansui was a heroic man. Yang Ji and others thought that he should be doing well in Yizhou. However, the situation was exactly the opposite. Instead of doing well, Shi Wansui was counting the days to survive.

Since taking office, he has been treated coldly and violently by the senior officials of the Yizhou Governor's Office.

Speaking of which, he couldn't blame anyone else. If he had to blame, he had to blame himself.

In the seventeenth year of the founding of the Emperor, Shi Wansui, assuming the identity of the military commander, led an army to attack Cuan Yan, the governor of Kunzhou who was rebelling against the Sui Dynasty. They fought for more than a thousand miles and defeated more than 30 werewolf tribes in the southwest. The beasts were greatly frightened, and Cuan Yan asked to surrender again, but

Cuan Yan did not want to follow the army into the court, so he bribed Shi Wansui with countless gold, silver and jewels, so Shi Wansui let Cuan Yan go.

Shi Wansui relied on his great achievements. When he was on standby in Kunzhou, his behavior and style were exactly the same as Hou Junji who destroyed Gaochang Kingdom. He not only took away all the wealth of Cuan and Cuanbu, but also attacked Kunzhou.

, Gongzhou, Xiezhou, and Yuexun counties carried out bloody looting.

Yang Xiu, who was the general manager of Yizhou at the time, knew of his brutal behavior and sent people to investigate the matter. When Shi Wansui heard about it, he sank all the property at the bottom of the river. Yang Xiu had no evidence, so he had to give up.

However, Shi Wansui's actions made many Qiang and Xiu people who were originally loyal to the Sui Dynasty hate Wujiwu and no longer trust the court. This also laid a solid foundation for Cuanyi to rebel again and gain a strong military force. This should be beneficial

The war broke out again in the southern part of the state. Yang Xiu once again impeached Shi Wansui for accepting bribes and allowing thieves to lead to border troubles, showing no integrity as a minister.

Yang Jian ordered a strict investigation into the matter, and it was found to be true. Seeing that he had confessed obediently, Gao Jun and Yuan Min interceded for him: "Shi Wansui's talents are extraordinary. Every time he leads the army in battle, he takes the lead and is good at caring for the soldiers. Everyone is happy with it."

Serving him, even the famous generals from ancient times would be hard-pressed to surpass him."

After hearing this, Yang Jian, who wanted to execute Shi Wansui, became less angry and demoted him to a civilian position. However, within a year, he came back again, and later he had nothing to do. But he was in the south of Yizhou

The sins committed and the evil consequences sowed will be borne by the court and the people of Yinan.

Because he seriously "overdrawn" the credibility of the imperial court, those Qiang and Xie people who were very peaceful at first no longer believed in imperial decrees and officials.

Once instigated by careerists, the Qiang and Xiu people in southern Yizhou would surrender, rebel, and surrender again, while the imperial court would repeatedly send troops to quell the rebellion; both sides fought and killed each other for more than ten years.

, each suffered huge casualties, severely damaged local people's livelihood and various infrastructures, and also destroyed the trust of both parties, entering a dead end from which there is no turning back.

So far, the hatred cannot be resolved.

Zhao Chuo, who is nearly seventy years old, is upright and honest, and has worked conscientiously in Yizhou for eighteen years. The prosperity and stability of Yizhou cannot be separated from the hard work and sweat of this old man; he believes that the chaos in southern Yizhou "due to

"Shi Wansui's bloody exploitation; and the subsequent losses of the court were to pay off the debts of Shi Wansui's greed, and the countless soldiers and civilians who died in vain were all thanks to Shi Wansui.

Chief Shi Zhao Chuo was dissatisfied and angry with Shi Wansui, and Sima Yang Wutong was even better.

Yang Wu is Yang Jian's nephew. He is good at galloping and is well-educated in military literature. He followed Yang Jian into battle when he was more than ten years old and became one of the famous generals who founded the Sui Dynasty. However, although he has fought for decades, he is only 48 years old this year.

Unlike other famous generals, his battlefield is neither in the north nor the south, but always in the west.

At the beginning of Emperor Kaihuang's reign, Tuoba Chici's Party Headquarters outside the country and Tuoba Ningcong's Party Headquarters inside the country repeatedly raided the country and abroad. Because Yang Wutong had always had a reputation as a border guard, Yang Jian appointed him as the governor of Taozhou (Lintao) and Lanzhou (Jincheng).

) Two Prefecture General

Tuoba Ningcong surrendered and rebelled again in the 16th year of Kaihuang's reign, and invaded Huining again. Yang Jian

Yang Wutong, who entered the court as an official, was once again allowed to defeat the rebels.

During the long-term battle with the two parties, this "veteran" accumulated rich experience in mountain and jungle combat; Yang Jian transferred him to Yizhou, a place with steep mountains and full of jungles, and asked him to specifically deal with those in the mountains.

The Hu people in the jungle, the Qiang rebels. He lived up to expectations and returned with meritorious deeds every time he led his troops into battle.

In the first year of Renshou, another major rebellion broke out among the Yi people in southern Yizhou. Zhou Fashang was ordered to go to quell the rebellion. However, because Zhou Fashang had just arrived, he was not familiar with the terrain of Meishan and was very unfamiliar with the fighting methods of the Yi people. He suffered a defeat in the first battle.

Yang Wutong led thousands of troops to cut off the rebels' retreat, taking them by surprise and defeating them.

The rebels later got

Knowing that Yang Wutong was fighting alone with no reinforcements, he sent all his troops to encircle and kill him. Yang Wutong fought and retreated, and fought fiercely with the enemy hundreds of miles away. In the end, he was besieged by the rebels. He was trapped in the predicament of a heavy siege.

, he still

However, he showed no fear and calmly accepted the challenge, and finally waited for reinforcements. Although he survived, most of the thousands of troops who accompanied him on the expedition died. His two sons and some Sui generals were even "killed" by the rebels.

And eat it."

When Zhou Fashang came to fight again and defeated the rebels, they learned from the prisoners that the leader of the rebels was originally a large Han family in Yuexun County. The family used to do business peacefully with the Sui, Qiang and Xun people.

But they innocently accused Shi Wansui of collaborating with the enemy, and almost ended up being exterminated. It was precisely because of this that they embarked on the road of anti-Sui.

This reason also made Yang Wutong, who lost his beloved son and thousands of soldiers, deeply hate Shi Wansui.

He believed that if Shi Wansui had not been so greedy and selfish, the situation in southern Yizhou would not have deteriorated to this point; his son and thousands of young, loyal, and brave Sui warriors would not have died so miserably.

As for the leader Bo Guo Xingfang, dozens of his clansmen died in the war against the rebellion, so he was also very unhappy with Shi Wansui.

All these people are either natives of Yizhou or people who have been in Yizhou for a long time.

Almost every inch of land here has their hard work and emotions. Everyone is extremely disgusted and resentful of Shi Wansui who was corrupt and ran away after the destruction. However, the situation in Yizhou is slightly better, and this bastard is back again.

.How could they look good on Shi Wansui? But fortunately, they are all people who distinguish between public and private affairs. In terms of official business, no one has caused trouble for Shi Wansui. Otherwise, it would be difficult for Shi Wansui to open up the situation.

After Shi Wansui took office, he actually expressed his goodwill to these Yizhou senior officials many times, hoping that everyone would work together happily. However, these "veterans" who had suffered so much did not buy his fault at all.

Shi Wansui had been punished and thought that the matter was over. He had not taken the issue of southern Yizhou to heart for a long time. At first, he thought that everyone hated him for "stealing" everyone's power. However, after getting along with each other, he realized that everyone hated him.

It's him as a person, not because he came to be the governor.

And all their cooperation, all cooperation, all efforts are for one common goal——

That is to protect Yizhou and make Yizhou more prosperous!

As for friendship or anything like that, there is no such thing.

This awareness also allowed Shi Wansui to know how to get along with them. He even felt that getting along with them was far easier than in court, and there was no need to worry about them working together to harm him.

However, this weird way of getting along soon made Shi Wansui unable to relax. Although everyone was cooperating and doing their best in official matters, he felt that he was a "monster" in the eyes of everyone and was mistreated by everyone.

Exclude.

But when it comes to exclusion, it doesn't seem to be the case.

In short, he felt that getting along with these people made him feel uncomfortable and exhausted mentally and physically. It was more tiring than galloping horses, crossing the battlefield, and leading troops to fight.

Zhao Chuo, Yang Wutong, Guo Xingfang, and Pang Yu were all working in their respective official offices at the moment. As soon as they heard that Shi Wansui had important matters to discuss, they quickly came to the lobby of the official office, saluted Shi Wansui together and said: "See the governor!"

"Everyone, please take a seat!" Shi Wansui stood up and gestured to the four of them with a smile.

However, Zhao Chuo did not follow Shi Wansui's tactics at all. The old man with white beard and hair, skinny as a stick, raised his hands and said with a straight face: "I have many official matters that need to be dealt with urgently in this humble position. If the governor has anything important to do, please speak up!"

Shi Wansui said: "King Wei is about to launch a campaign to conquer Tuyuhun. His envoy has just arrived: He hopes that we will send troops to contain Dangxiang Qiang. If Dangxiang Qiang goes north to fight, then we will take advantage of the opportunity and capture Dangxiang Qiang. I invite you to come forward

I’m just here to discuss this matter, and I also want to hear your opinions!”

Glancing at the four of them, Shi Wansui handed Yang Ji's letter to Zhao Chuo and said in a deep voice: "This is a letter written by King Wei himself. Read it all! After reading it, decide whether to send troops!"

After the four of them read it one by one, Zhao Chuo, a long-time historian, remained silent. He was not good at military affairs and did not want to express his opinion, so as not to miss important national affairs. However, Shi Wansui thought he was "cowardly" and did not want to let it go.

He hoped to kill this old man's "prestige", so he asked uneasily and kindly: "Zhao Changshi, what are you doing?"

What do you think?"

Zhao Chuo was stunned for a moment, then he cupped his hands and said, "Everyone knows that this humble position is not good at military affairs, but the governor is blind when asking questions."

"Oh? Really?" Shi Wansui glanced at Zhao Chuo, pretending to be surprised and said: "I have been in Yizhou for less than three months, and you have been here for ten months, so you must have a very detailed understanding of the enemy's situation around you.

I want to hear your opinions and suggestions!”

As the saying goes, the authorities are confused and the bystanders are clear. Zhao Chuo was originally a person who could distinguish between public and private affairs, and this matter was of great importance. He did not realize that Shi Wansui was deliberately making things difficult for him on such a major matter, so he really started to think hard. But Yang Wutong and Guo Xingfang

, as a bystander, how could Pang Yu not know that Shi Wansui was malicious and ignorant of Zhao Chuo?

However, no matter what Shi Wansui was doing, he was still the head of the state, and such high-sounding inquiries were reasonable; so although they were extremely angry, they could not refute him. They could only swallow their anger and look at Shi Wansui, and then looked at Zhao anxiously.

Chuo, for fear that if he fails to answer the question, the damn selfish Shi Wansui will take the opportunity to eliminate him.

Shi Wansui saw the expressions of the four people. Not only did he feel extremely happy, but he also sneered secretly in his heart: I am the governor of Yizhou appointed by the sage, so I don't believe in the rule and I won't obey you bastards.

As for why everyone hates him, he still doesn't know. He doesn't know that there are countless mistakes and everything is his fault.
