Guo Peng didn't know if Zhao Yun was aware of such facts.

But it doesn't matter, even if he doesn't know.

For Zhao Yun, Guo Peng has a sense of trust that is difficult for others to have.

This person is not happy with things, does not feel sorry for himself, has the overall situation in mind, and is willing to sacrifice his personal interests a little for the sake of the overall situation.

It is precisely because of this that Guo Peng will hand over this sensitive position of commanding the main force of the Central Army to Zhao Yun.

Except for Zhao Yun, no one could hold the position of General of the Guard Army as firmly as he did.

Speaking of which, Guo Peng originally planned to make Zhao Yun a general of the guards, which sounded better.

But with the idea of wanting Zhao Yun to retire with glory, Guo Peng planned to leave the general of the guard army to the end, until Zhao Yun retired, and let him be the only one.

If it can really be realized, if Zhao Yun can really continue to treat the power in his hands rationally and prudently, Guo Peng does not mind letting Zhao Yun retire with honor as the general of the guard.

Let him become the only commander of the central army that is unique in the empire, only this one, and there is no second person, so as to leave a name in history and be admired by future generations.

Not to mention these, just talking about Zhao Yun's achievements in the position of general of the guards, Guo Peng can't find a thorn.

This anti-corruption operation also involves the military level.

After the outbreak of the Liangzhou case, Guo Peng was very annoyed when he learned that some people in the army had colluded with local officials and businessmen to embezzle public property.

Giving the army such a high salary, it still can't stop some people from having unclean hands and feet.

Filled with anger and disappointment, Guo Peng intensified his punishment and ordered that all military battalions, local garrisons, and the Central Army should be strictly investigated.

It is necessary to strictly investigate whether military spending has been properly implemented, and whether there are corrupt and degenerate elements who have spent military expenses in places where they should not be used, eat soldiers' flesh, drink soldiers' blood, and raise themselves fat and strong.

Although the rules are set, the materials always have to be distributed, and it is indeed difficult to say whether anyone will profit from them in the distribution process.

For the time being, the Central Army is very clean.

After the military department distributes military expenses and materials, except for the military salary, which is directly distributed to each soldier, the army commander is responsible for distributing some other ordnance materials and daily necessities.

Since the consumption of all kinds of daily necessities is too large and the dispatch is not timely, the army itself needs to be responsible for selecting and purchasing them in the localities, and the funds are provided by the military department, and there is no one to supervise them.

There is room for manipulation of this part of the fee.

Moreover, there is also a part of the military expenditure that can be used by the army at its discretion, which can be used to add meals to the army or reward meritorious soldiers.

There is also room for manipulation of this part of the fee.

Other armies may use this money to do something, do some small benefits and so on, and it's hard to say whether there are any expenses that have not been recorded on the books.

But Zhao Yun left no room for this part of the expense.

When Zhao Yun was in charge of the work of the Central Army, all the accounts were clear, clean, and completely recorded, and they were all recorded in the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Finance, and the Cabinet.

What was bought, how much was spent, how much was the unit price, whether there was a discount, which unit to use it on after buying, how much was consumed, how long it was used up, when it was replenished, etc.

Zhao Yun asked the military officials to make a detailed table of this content, personally supervise it, and keep a close eye on the expenditure of this part of the expenses to ensure that no one profited from it and embezzled state funds.

He did not show much of his face in the army, but he devoted most of his energy to this kind of supervision, trying not to make mistakes.

I heard that because of this matter, there are still some people in the military department who are dissatisfied with Zhao Yun.

For several years, the accounts of the Central Army were definitely the cleanest and most reliable part, and even when Guo Peng ordered a strict inspection of the army's accounts, nothing was found that was incorrect.

I can only say that this is very Zhao Yun.

So when Guo Peng went to see Zhao Yun at the general camp of the Guards, he took his hand and praised him for his meticulous work.

"I am relieved to have Zilong to lead the guards for me, Zilong, if there were more generals like you, how good would it be, why should I be so worried as now?"

"There are many generals who can fight well than their ministers, and their ministers are not as good as them."

Zhao Yun's words are still the same modest and cautious, even if he is in a high position, he has never changed.

This made Guo Peng very emotional.

"No, Zilong, there is no one who can compare with you in my heart, otherwise, I would not rest assured that I will hand over hundreds of thousands of guards to you to command, your credit may not be as great as theirs, but your status in my heart is far more than theirs."

"Your Majesty......"

Hearing Guo Peng comment on himself like this, Zhao Yun was moved in his heart.

"They can fight well, they can crusade against the ministers for me, and guard the border, but in terms of the ability to govern the army, they are far inferior to you, Zilong, over the years, the army in various places has been slack."

Guo Peng narrowed his eyes: "I can do this kind of thing with local officials, embezzlement of state funds, and abuse of the people, which I didn't dare to think about in the past, no matter how high I demand from them, but it seems that there are always some people who are unwilling to do it." ”

"The world has been stable for a while, and if there is no strong foreign enemy, there will naturally be people who will relax, which is difficult to avoid, so greater supervision is needed, and it cannot be stopped."

Zhao Yun gave his own advice.

"You're right, you can supervise, but also people to do, no matter what, people have to do it, no matter how good the rules are, if you don't enforce it, there is no point, if they want to implement it honestly, you need me, the emperor, to be a man of his word, and his words count.

But this time the local investigation made me realize that if I didn't leave Luoyang for a long time, and I didn't lead troops to fight for a long time, some people gradually forgot how the Wei State was established, and some people had already dreamed of being the emperor of the sky, thinking about being the emperor of the soil. ”

Guo Peng's words were filled with a sense of murder.

This surprised Zhao Yun.

"Your Majesty's voice is magnificent, how can anyone dare to forget it?"

"Of course there is, where I can't see, those people don't know how to call the king and emperor behind closed doors, so I will definitely not let them go."

Guo Peng nodded: "This battle is not only to completely remove the threat of Xianbei, but also to revive my prestige, so that some people with a bad memory can remember how I became the emperor." ”

"Guards and soldiers, at the disposal of His Majesty."

Zhao Yun immediately expressed his position.

"yes, okay."

Guo Peng was very satisfied with Zhao Yun's statement, thought about it again, and asked, "Zilong, this time, do you want to go with me?" ”

"It's up to Your Majesty."

Zhao Yun gave Guo Peng back the choice and let Guo Peng make decisions for him, as before.

Guo Peng's favorite thing about Zhao Yun is precisely this, he is good at listening to orders and executing orders, but he is not good at giving orders by himself.

He is an absolute executioner who can implement orders to 100 percent, but when it comes to his own independent orders and actions, Zhao Yun is not as good as other generals who command troops outside.

This is also one of the reasons why Guo Peng chose to let Zhao Yun lead the guards to garrison the Gyeonggi region.

Zhao Yun is like a perfect tool man, pointing where to fight, but he doesn't have too many ideas, listening to orders and doing things is the truest portrayal of his life, he is loyal.

From this point of view, Zhao Yun is a pure and perfect soldier.

No matter what orders are given to him, he will not complete them meticulously without compromise, and within the framework of the order, he can do it to the limit.

To have Zhao Zilong by his side, isn't it a lucky thing for Guo to have him?

"Okay, Zilong, this time, you don't want to go with me, you stay in Luoyang for me, all the military responsibilities in the Gyeonggi region are handed over to you, you can take charge and mobilize all the troops in the Gyeonggi region except for the Northern Expeditionary Army, cooperate with Fengxiao, and assist the prince in supervising the country together."

As he spoke, Guo Peng patted Zhao Yun on the shoulder: "Zilong, there are not many people I can trust, you are one of them, the prince has not experienced too many things, there are some things right and wrong, you have to tell him, understand?" ”

Zhao Yun knelt on the ground and expressed his determination to Guo Peng.

"But if the ministers are still alive, they will do their best to protect the prince."

Guo Peng nodded and helped Zhao Yun up.

"That's it, let's go, Zilong, follow me to review the army, this time in the Northern Expedition, the guards are going to take the lead, go and see how the cavalry is training."

"Yes!"

Zhao Yun received the order, and then went with Guo Peng to review the army.
