Anyang County is a good place. The tall, steep and endless Luoying Mountains blocked the cold air from the West, making the climate here easy to develop agricultural planting. The vast plains provide Anyang with countless fertile arable land, which makes Anyang County a large population and relatively wealthy.

Of course, the wealthy Anyang County has a vicious neighbor, that is, the Qin State. The Qin border army has long been raising Anyang as a fat pig, and basically every two or three years, there will be a large-scale invasion. They will rob them when they come in, and they will leave when they are robbed, and they will only rob food and money. People basically don’t kill much. If they kill too many people, how can they still create wealth for them?

Deng Pu worked like this for many years.

At that time, the Chu State was focused on defending against the invasion of Qi. It was difficult for the second brother to be a second brother, so he always had to be vigilant and guard against the ruthless suppression of the boss. However, the evil neighbor of Qin did not have any territorial requirements and did not pay much attention to it. Their owned and left only lost the property of a county. With Anyang's wealth, it could be restored quickly. After every robbery, the court would give some symbolic pensions as usual.

No many people died anyway!

But this situation makes Anyang people hate it deeply. No one wants to be raised as a pig. The wealth created by hard work for several years will be stolen in one day.

This situation was not until Zuo Lixing became the commander of the Western Army. The Western Army formed by Zuo Lixing quickly rose up within a few years and began to compete with the Qin army, making their invasion more and more difficult. This also made the people of Anyang County really have a few good days.

Then, he returned to his old behavior. The entire Western army was destroyed, and Zuo Lixing was killed in battle. The Qin army began to do his old business again, and the people of Anyang County began to be raised as pigs again.

Later, An Ruhai exiled himself to the Western Army and revitalized the power of the Western Army. Anyang County was a little relieved, but worried that the old things would happen again. As expected, not long after, An Ruhai led his army across the Luoying Mountains to Qi, and never returned. The Chu State was defeated in Qi, and Suqian led the main force of the Western Army to Jinghu, and Anyang County was once again empty.

Just when the people of Anyang County began to worry about their property again, the battle between Qin and Ming and Qin began. The people of Qin no longer had the energy to launch a large-scale looting campaign on Anyang. The people of Anyang could finally live their own little life with peace of mind. In a few years, they once again quickly became rich.

However, I am afraid that any smart Anyang person could not imagine that hundreds of thousands of Qin people actually defected to the State of Chu under the leadership of Bian Wushuang. In the last ten thousand Qin troops and more than ten thousand Qin troops' relatives settled in Anyang.

This has become a nightmare for the locals in Anyang. So many Qin people settled in Anyang, but it’s not just about staying here. They need land and water sources. Where do they come from? Naturally, they dig food from the original Anyang people.

The rich land is in Anyang. After these Qin people settled, they were basically wasteland and raw land. The Qin people were originally poor. In the past, everyone didn’t think it was too poor. But now when they were in Anyang, it would be amazing. Whose eyes were not red?

The dispute began naturally.

The Qin people were warlike and brave. And Anyang has been invaded by war for a hundred years, so naturally it is not easy to meet. More importantly, the two families are enemies. If you count forward, there are only a handful of people in Anyang who have not been snatched by the Qin people.

It was originally disliked by each other, but now it is still with each other day and it is strange that nothing happened. So in Anyang, the fight between the people is simply common.

First, people who dislike each other fought each other, and then they developed into fighting between families, and finally they turned into a group fight between villages. It was so common for people to die.

It would be fine if it was just a fight between the people. The problem was that there were still troops stationed in Anyang on both sides. In the end, the army began to participate to varying degrees.

The troops on both sides often took off their military uniforms, put on casual clothes, and carried a knife and joined the group fight between the two sides. Their joining made the fight almost turn into a battle, and the number of deaths increased every time.

The generals on both sides pretended to turn a blind eye to this.

Both sides were both disliked each other and did not directly lead the army to join the war. They all felt that they had given each other great face and the decency that the court should have.

When the Qin people came to other people's territory, they felt that they were shorter. If they seemed weaker, they would definitely be bullied. Moreover, my family is fighting for you Chu people and suppressing bandits, shouldn't I get some benefits?

People from Anyang think that you gangsters are homeless now and are rushing to my territory. They used to rob us of money and food, but now they are better off, even the land is robbed, and they can't bear it at all.

The contradictions are in an irreconcilable state. Of course, this also shows that the Chu court basically has no control over the local area. If the imperial authority is weakened, the troops stationed in the local area will naturally become stronger.

The top leaders of the army pretended to be deaf and dumb, so they only suffered from Anyang County Magistrate Zhu Yi. The county magistrate who took office with An Ruhai began to suffer in hell after a few days of good life.

The nominal military and political leader of Anyang County was helpless in the face of this situation. The most important thing his officials do every day is to reconcile the conflicts between the two sides, but most of them are useless. If today's problems are resolved, new problems will arise tomorrow.

When the sky gradually darkened, Zhu Yi finally returned to the county town with a feather-in-law. He had just dealt with a large-scale armed fight between the two sides. The reason for the accident was that the two sides fought for water sources.

Now it is the time when crops grow, and water is naturally indispensable. However, whoever comes first and whoever comes more and whoever is less. In the past, the old people in the local villages could sit together to discuss and adjust, but now there is no discussion. They basically speak with fists. This time, the two sides have formed several villages and gathered thousands of people to fight each other.

After Zhu Yide reported the news, he was shocked and rushed to rescue the emergency. He also cooperated with food, military pay and other things, and invited the military commanders of both sides to the scene. The three sides sat down to discuss, and finally barely solved the problem. Otherwise, the two sides would have fought, and the casualties would not be a small amount.

But now is the peak season for water use, and the problem will definitely not appear in one place. Can I really invite people from both sides together every time? Threats with military pay are actually just empty words. I really dare not give them to them, and those big-headed soldiers dare to rob them. In other words, the military chiefs of both sides do not want to break up with him, the local chief, and give him some face.

But if you use favors once, you will lose once. What should you do next time? It’s a good idea to say something about the Western Army. After all, you have worked with me for many years, and the Qin people are just stones in the pit and can’t speak at all. After more than half a year, the generals of the Western Army of Chu have begun to be dissatisfied with him and think that they are biased towards the Qin army.

But what can I do?

I originally thought Anyang was a good place, but when I jumped in, I found that it was really a fire pit! Zhu Yi lay on the horse weakly. Of course, if the Qin people did not come, Anyang is indeed a good place now. They were beaten down by Ming Kingdom and had no strength to come to Anyang to rob, and the Anyang people would naturally live a good life.

But the reality is so cruel. After the Ming people defeated them, they ran to the territory of the Chu people to become kings and dominance. When did the Great Chu fall to this point? Thinking of the current chaos in the country, Zhu Yi couldn't help but moan again. As a civil servant, after riding a horse and running like this, the inner side of his thighs had long been worn out.

Nowadays, officials in every place seem to be so difficult to live, and it is still a hard work to transfer to other places, otherwise they should not be an official. Zhu Yi sighed. Speaking of which, he was quite lucky in Anyang. At least no one has publicly rebelled, so he raised his flag to kill officials! In other places in Da Chu, rebellion has become commonplace. Jiangnan has been particularly terrifying recently, and the head of a county magistrate was cut off and hung on the city tower.

Go back and have a good sleep, don’t think about anything, keep your energy in mind, and maybe something strange will pop up tomorrow. I am not the magistrate of Anyang County now, I am really following behind both sides and wiping my butts. Not only did I do it hard, but I was not pleased with both sides.

What are these things?

Zhu Yi, who was lamenting in his heart, finally rubbed to the gate of the county government. When he turned over and got off the horse, the saddle was brought to the wound on the inside of his thigh, and he couldn't help but tremble in pain again. Several personal guards rushed over to support him and helped him walk into the mansion.

Before he could walk a few steps, Zhu Yi saw his chief minister's footsteps hurrying up, and his heart trembled again. Could it be that something happened in the city during the period when he left the city, right? Otherwise, why would this guy stay in the government office yet?

"Nothing happened, right?" He asked the chief clerk who bowed to him with a hope in case.

"Mr., nothing happened in the city. But the court sent someone to come and is now in the general office!" The chief spoke lowered his voice: "Light car Jian is here."

"Who is it?" Zhu Yi asked. Now that the imperial court's control over the local area has been greatly reduced, it is really difficult for Zhu Yi to be respectful to the current imperial court.

"Luo Liang!" said Changshi.

"What?" Zhu Yi jumped up like a rabbit caught in an arrow. Who is Luo Liang? Although the emperor's number one confidant was neglected by the emperor because of his poor performance in the east, he was still one of the people he trusted the most. Why did such a person run to Anyang quietly?
