A moment later, Zhao Yu took Chen Lang, Xun Yi, Jingnu, Niu Heng, He Shun and twenty black tiger thieves to the south city gate.

On the way to the South City Gate, taking the opportunity to sit with Jingnu and Zhao Yu, Niu Heng said angrily: "Ah Hu, why did you spare those people? Since they resigned voluntarily, why don't you take the opportunity to appoint our brothers? ”

Hearing this, Zhao Yu shook his head and smiled: "It's too late, besides, most of the gongcao in the Governor's Office are civilian and responsible for some ...... For example, the distribution of military salaries, the overall calculation of armaments, and so on, let our brothers do it, and I am afraid that the brothers will not be happy. ”

"That's just as well." Niu Heng scratched his head and said, "If it were me, I wouldn't be happy." ”

"Unhappiness is one thing, and the other is ......"

Zhao Yu shook his head and said, "Second, those clerical things are not something that can be done in a short period of time. …… I can kill people with a knife to get rid of this group of people, but the consequence is that the Governor's Office will be paralyzed, unable to dispatch the soldiers in the city, and even cause criticism, so it can be deterred and beaten......"

Jing Nu said worriedly: "I'm afraid that they will always think of that Cao Duwei, and it will be unfavorable to the young master in the future." ”

"It doesn't matter."

Zhao Yu chuckled and said, "As long as I don't make a big mistake on my side, Li Junshou will stand on my side...... I think he'll be neutral for the time being, and won't provoke me. As long as these two don't nod, Cao Suo can't do anything, let alone ......"

He stretched out his right hand, clenched his fist slightly, and said lightly: "When it comes to the things in my hands, it is not so easy to take them back." ”

Niu Heng and Jing Nu nodded one after another.

A moment later, the group arrived at the South City Gate.

Stepping out of the carriage, Zhao Yu looked up at the city gate towering in front of him.

Behind him, the scholars Tian Qin and Liao Guang, Wei Shi Hanhe, and Liu Jian also came on horseback, and after turning over and dismounting, they came to Zhao Yu and bowed: "Du Wei." ”

"Hmm."

Zhao Yu nodded, pointed to the city and said, "Go, go to the city wall." ”

"Yes!"

During this period, looking at the deferential appearance of Tian Qin and the four people, Changshi Chen Lang couldn't help but look at Zhao Yu frequently.

"Tiger this week...... It was really much more powerful than Cao Suo, and in the blink of an eye, Tian Qin and the others were cleaned up and obeyed by him...... At least superficially obedient...... Song Juncheng wants to try to expel this Zhou Tiger after repelling the rebels, I'm afraid it won't be so easy......

Chen Lang thought secretly in his heart.

After a short time, Zhao Yu and his party came to the city.

After coming to the city, Zhao Yu looked around and immediately asked Tian Qin, "Who is the chief official here?" ”

Tian Qin clasped his fists and replied, "Naimen Hou Yansheng." ”

Originally, Xuchang, as the county seat of Yingchuan County, was different from Kunyang, Xiangcheng and other county seats, and there were 'gate marquis' at all the gates in the city, who were in charge of the gate and the city guard, responsible for the opening and closing of the city gate, as well as arranging the soldiers to defend the city wall, watch out for the enemy, ring the bell to warn and other matters, and were also officials of the Governor's Office, and were dispatched by the Commander.

It is worth mentioning that the annual salary of the Marquis of the Gate is 600 stones, which is equivalent to that of the county lieutenant.

"Oh."

Zhao Yu nodded and asked, "What about others?" Tell him to come to me. ”

"Yes!"

Tian Qin hugged his fists, immediately summoned a soldier in the city, and ordered: "Tell the Marquis of Yanmen to come immediately." ”

"Yes!"

Not long after, Zhao Yu saw a man in his thirties hurrying over with a few soldiers.

I saw this person glance at Zhao Yu suspiciously, and hugged his fist towards Tian Qin: "Tian Shishi." ”

Seeing this, Tian Qin, who had just been taught a lesson by Zhao Yu, beat a drum in his heart, and hurriedly introduced Zhao Yu and said, "This is the newly appointed Zhou Duwei. ”

"Captain Zhou?"

Gate Marquis Yan Sheng glanced at Zhao Yu up and down a few times, and suddenly said: "Oh, it turned out to be Zhou Duwei who temporarily took the position of Du Lieutenant after Cao Duwei took the position of Du Lieutenant. ”

"It's over, this guy is going to be unlucky......

As soon as he heard Yan Sheng's words, Tian Qin and Liao Guang, Han He, and Liu Jian who were standing behind Zhao Yu secretly thought in their hearts.

If before that, they wished that someone would stand up against that Zhou Hu, but after learning the methods of that Zhou Hu, they had already realized that they alone were really not enough to fight against this Zhou Hu.

Look at the previous time, they united the officials of the entire Governor's Office, wanting to embarrass Zhou Hu, but what was the result? This week, the tiger trampled on their dignity under their feet, so that now, several of them no longer dared to look directly at the eyes of the Zhou tiger, and they felt weak in their hearts when they touched it.

“…… You are Yan Sheng, the gatekeeper of the South City Gate? ”

Zhao Yu glanced at Yan Sheng lightly.

"Yes, False Captain." Yan Sheng smiled and said with his fists clenched.

"Don't you have any eyesight? Didn't you see a few of us honestly standing beside this Zhou Hu? It's also a fake captain......

Tian Qin's face changed when he heard this.

You must know that this Yan Sheng was also promoted by Du Wei Cao Suo, and he was very worried that this guy had annoyed that Zhou Hu.

Just when Tian Qin was secretly worried, he suddenly heard Yan Sheng ask Zhao Yu: "Fake Duwei, I don't know why Cao Duwei suddenly got sick?" ”

Zhao Yu glanced at Yan Sheng and said, "Yan Menhou, Zhou Mou inspected various city gates this time, it should be me who asked you, not you who asked me, do you understand?" ”

Yan Sheng smiled, looked at the soldiers on the left and right cities, spread his hands and said: "Don't blame the fake captain, not only is it a humble position, but the brothers in the city are very puzzled, why did Cao Duwei suddenly get sick and go home to recuperate, and you temporarily take the position of captain?" ”

"Are you questioning me for stealing Captain Cao's position?" Zhao Yu chuckled.

"Don't dare." Yan Sheng hugged his fists and said with a smile: "I'm just going to know the reason." ”

Zhao Yu chuckled, looked at Yan Sheng and said, "The reason is that I, Zhou Hu, can win the battle, but Cao Suo can't." …… Are you satisfied with this answer? ”

"......" Yan Sheng opened his mouth, and he didn't know what to answer for a while.

And at this moment, I saw Zhao Yu raise his hand and casually swiped it, and instructed Tian Qin: "Choose someone else to replace him." ”

Tian Qin was taken aback, and hurriedly persuaded: "Captain Zhou, the Marquis of Yanmen is a member of my Xuchang warrior...... That ......"

As soon as he was halfway through his words, Tian Qin saw Zhao Yu glance at him lightly.

For some reason, Tian Qin subconsciously swallowed back the second half of the words.

At this time, Yan Sheng also reacted and said in shock: "What mistake did I make, why should the fake lieutenant dismiss my position?!" ”

"I think you're being disrespectful to me, and you're guilty of it." Zhao Yu said lightly.

Yan Sheng was furious when he heard this, and said angrily: "The fake captain Hugh wants to bully people!" I have made many contributions to Yan Sheng......"

"Who saw that?"

Zhao Yu sneered: "Cao Duwei saw it, right?" You are looking for Cao Duwei to ......"

He glanced around at the city guards who were watching, and shouted loudly: "At the moment, the commander of Yingchuan County is my Zhou Hu!" …… I said that the doorman here wants to be replaced, then he has to be replaced! ”

He glanced at Tian Qin: "Did you hear that, Tian Qin?" ”

"Yes!"

Tian Qin was shocked, hugged his fists, lowered his head and said, "Humble position...... The lowly position is screened immediately. ”

"Tian Shishi, you ......"

Yan Sheng looked at Tian Qin in disbelief, and then looked at Liao Guang, Han He, and Liu Jian: "Liao Shiyi? History of Han Wei? Liu Weishi? ”

To his surprise, Liao Guang, Han He, and Liu Jian all turned their eyes away, but none of them said anything to help him.

At this time, Yan Sheng finally sensed that something was wrong, and when he saw Zhao Yu turn around and was about to leave, he said angrily with horror: "I'm going to find Cao Duwei!" Cao Duwei won't let you come nonsense! ”

"Please."

Zhao Yu glanced at Yan Sheng and said lightly: "However, let me remind you, although you have been relieved of your position as a marquis, you are still a soldier in the city, you have to go to see Cao Suo, and wait until you get off work, otherwise, if you leave your post without permission, I will treat you as a 'fugitive' and be executed!" …… Let's see if Cao Suo can save your life when the time comes. ”

As he spoke, he ignored Yan Sheng, who was trembling with anger, and the onlookers who were looking at each other from the side, and said to Tian Qin lightly: "Let's go, go to the West City Gate." ”

Jing Nu didn't say a word, and followed closely behind, even Niu Heng, He Shun, and the twenty black tiger thieves with sneers on their faces.

Then there were Chen Lang and Xun Yi, who shook their heads slightly, as well as Tian Qin, Liao Guang, Han He, and Liu Jian with complicated faces.

Watching this group of people slowly walk along the city wall towards the west gate, the soldiers who had been watching before looked at each other and whispered.

"That Captain Zhou is so strong...... I don't know where it came from? ”

"I feel that this Captain Zhou is even more powerful than Captain Cao......"

"Yan Menhou's position, he was dismissed with a word?"

While all the soldiers were talking, only the Marquis of the front door, Yan Sheng, stood in place at a loss, with a look of remorse flashing on his face.

At the same time, Zhao Yu and his party were walking along the city wall in the direction of the west city gate, along the way, he pointed to the outline of a military camp faintly visible in the south, and asked Tian Qin: "Is that the camp of the rebels?" ”

"Yes."

Tian Qin was still shocked by Fang Cai's matter, and replied more cautiously: "According to the information obtained by the scouts, it is the rebels of Jiangxia, and its main general is Zhong Fei. ”

"Is Chen Miao's general?"

Zhao Yu pondered for a moment and asked, "Have you ever fought it?" How does it feel? ”

"Uh......" Tian Qin replied hesitantly, "The soldiers under his command are no less than Xiang Xuanjun." ”

"Even Tian Qin, who is a sergeant, lacks confidence, but you can imagine the morale of the county army......

Shaking his head slightly, Zhao Yu continued to inspect the city wall, and finally came to the west gate.

Unlike the south city gate, I don't know why, the gate of the west city gate is already standing in front of the city gate tower and waiting.

After seeing Zhao Yu, the doorman bowed down and saluted: "The prince of the door, meet Zhou Duwei." ”

Zhao Yu looked at the gate marquis in front of him with great interest, and asked with a smile: "It seems that the prince has heard about the incident at the south city gate......

"This ......" The Marquis of the Gate looked sneered, and after secretly glancing at Zhao Yu a few times, he finally nodded and said honestly: "Yes, yes." …… Let the lieutenant see it. ”

"Huh."

Zhao Yu waved his hand and said with a smile: "Knowing current affairs is not a bad thing. ”

As he spoke, he patted Wang Yan's arm: "Do things well, Zhou will not treat you badly." ”

"Yes!"

In the complicated eyes of Tian Qin and Liao Guang, the prince of the gate replied respectfully.

On the same day, Zhao Yu inspected the North City Gate and the East City Gate one after another, with the example of Hou Yan Sheng of the South City Gate, the other three city gates were respectful to Zhao Yu, the newly appointed captain, and did not dare to offend in the slightest.

And through this incident, the county officials in Xuchang City can be regarded as having a preliminary understanding of the newly appointed captain.

Zhao Yu's strength and domineering made the soldiers up and down in Xuchang City raise their hearts and talk about it in private.

The new Captain Zhou Hu, this is a ruthless character!

At this point, Zhao Yu initially mastered the military power of Xuchang, as for whether he can get the heart of the army, it depends on his performance in the face of the rebels in the next few days.

Zhao Yu could guess that the announcement couldn't be stopped.
