Chen Xi smiled bitterly, he could say that the place in Xuzhou was too comfortable, there had been no war for three years, and the soldiers in Xuzhou were mainly used to maintain law and order, what combat effectiveness could they have.

"Xuzhou soldiers are re-selected, and all those who do not meet the requirements will be dismissed, and the allowance will be enough." Li You also looks very annoyed with the Xuzhou soldiers, at least he can't use the military camp as a nursing home like Cao Bao during the period.

"All the generals who eat empty salaries are cleared! We have given the Xuzhou family face, and the Xuzhou family can't go too far. Liu Bei nodded and said.

It is said that other generals are trying their best to expand the team under their command in troubled times, and even secretly over-staff, but this group of pit goods in Xuzhou eat empty salaries, the team is not full, and the team of 5,000 people is not even 3,000, and the elite soldiers in Danyang were almost eaten by Cao Bao, not to mention other troops.

Liu Bei and Chen Xi chatted about Xuzhou's shape for a while, and then didn't bother Chen Xi anymore, leaving an extra team of guards at Feng's house, and Liu Bei took the group back quickly.

Liu Bei's traces of the Xuzhou family are mostly in their eyes, living in Xuzhou City instead of living in the military camp outside the city, which makes the Xuzhou family feel a lot more relieved, what they are most worried about is that Liu Bei said that he was not to blame for the past, and he was still thinking about cleaning them up behind his back, if that was the case, the Xuzhou family would have to fight to the death.

Early the next morning, Liu Bei took over the political affairs of Xuzhou, officially appointed Chen Deng as the Taishou of Guangling, Zhao Yu took over as the Taishou of Xiapi, and ordered Li You to lead all the affairs of Xuzhou, and Chen Deng and Zhao Yu were supplemented, and no other arrangements were made after that, but in this way, the Xuzhou family was at ease.

Chen Deng looked at Chen Xi and Jia Xu who came together and smiled bitterly, he was really right by his father. This thing doesn't end so easily.

"I've seen Chen Hou, I've seen Jia Junshi." Chen Deng bowed respectfully to the two, and then made a gesture of please. Invite the two into the house.

"Yuanlong doesn't know what you think of this matter in Xuzhou." Chen Xi asked after taking a sip of tea.

"Xuzhou is rich, but the soldiers are outnumbered, and if you want to govern Xuzhou, you must first strengthen the army in order to defend the territory." Chen Deng said with a calm face.

"Oh, that's right." Chen Xi said indifferently, not mentioning the family did make Chen Xi feel curious, but it was just curiosity.

"Then how does Yuanlong think he should strengthen the army?" Jia Xu glanced at Chen Xi, who no longer spoke, but smiled and applied pressure. He asked expressionlessly.

"Unify the conscription standards, unify the allowances and benefits of soldiers, and then eliminate the unsuitable soldiers in Xuzhou. Recruit new soldiers and train them in accordance with General Yu Wenze's training model. Chen Deng said with a slightly helpless expression, in this way, the power of the Xuzhou family, including their Xuzhou Chen family, in the army can be regarded as a big loss.

"That's a good idea. At that time, Yuanlong will select suitable generals from Mount Tai to train Xuzhou soldiers. Jia Xu nodded and said. Then he threw the conditions that had been prepared to Chen Deng.

Chen Deng was stunned for a moment, and instantly a kind of joy swelled up in his heart, saying this is equivalent to giving the Chen family a chance to get along with the military, although this opportunity is limited by Liu Bei's control of military power, but it is enough to bring too many benefits to the Chen family, as for how much trouble will this bring to the Xuzhou family......

Thinking of this, a cold light crossed the eyes of Chen Deng, who bowed slightly, and the Xuzhou family has now been messed up by Tao Qian. And since his Chen family has such an opportunity, he has taken advantage of the great loss of the strength of the Xuzhou family now. Jumping up and beating all families to become the largest family in Xuzhou, this opportunity is in front of you, whether to do it or not to do it, this is a big problem.

Chen Xi took a teacup and sipped the tea, this opportunity was handed over to Chen Deng, what to do was Chen Deng's business, and it had nothing to do with them, but Chen Deng and Chen Qi had thought about their families all their lives, and it was probably difficult to ignore such an opportunity.

[The family should be left to the family to deal with by themselves, even if there is no need to instruct, Chen Yuanlong will use this power to suppress other families, and the family will inevitably consider their own family. Jia Xu thought indifferently.

[It is good for the Chen family to become bigger, so that the Xuzhou family has to rely on Xuande Gong, as for the Xuzhou Chen family, when Chen Yuanlong develops, he will understand what is the most correct choice, even if it doesn't work, the goal becomes one to clean up the situation. A touch of mockery on Chen Xi's face flashed away.

This is Chen Deng's biggest death hole, it's not that his intelligence is not high, but there are many times when he is blinded by the Zhenxing family.

"Thank you Chen Hou and Jia Junshi for your kindness." Chen Deng said without changing his face, it seemed that he had already made his choice without much effort.

"After all, Yuanlong has provided us with too much help, and we are just repaying the favor, Xuzhou still depends on your efforts, and the prosperity under your rule depends on your family's means." Chen Xi put down the teacup, slid his fingers slightly, and said with a smile.

"Chen Hou said and laughed, how dare Deng not do his best?" Chen Deng said solemnly, a layer of cold sweat couldn't help but form on his back, Chen Xi's words made him a little uncomfortable.

"Yuanlong, don't worry." The smile on Chen Xi's face was even stronger, "The assassination in front of Xuzhou City before, there are eyebrows, although Xuande Gong has said that he is not to blame in the past, but we still need to be careful, the bed crossbow in the army can be so lightly pounded out, this Xuzhou army needs to be more vigorous when rectifying." ”

Chen Deng easily heard the mockery in Chen Xi's words, his face was slightly ugly, and he finally knew why his father asked him to hand over this thing.

"Chen Hou, the matter of the bed crossbow has already been revealed, it was done by a group of craftsmen in the army, I have taken them all into custody, and ordered them to be detained, these are the documents of the detention, and the contract signed by their group." Chen Deng slowly retreated, and when he came over again, he held a wooden box, placed it on several cases and opened it, and placed a stack of paper contracts in it.

"It's so good, the finished bed crossbow is also sent to the army, presumably these craftsmen didn't just make so many of them." Chen Xi picked up the pile of papers, looked at them casually and put them away.

Chen Deng can take it out now, which means that the Chen family has decisively given up these dangerous items that can threaten the survival of the family at any time.

"The finished product has been sent to the government office, just waiting for the lord to accept." Chen Deng lowered his head and said, without a look of unwillingness at all.

When it is broken, it is broken, and things like bed crossbows are left in the Chen family, although it is indeed the only way to deter other families, but it is a huge hidden danger for the Chen family itself, because of this, losing these things, although Chen Deng was unwilling, but he quickly adjusted his mood.

Chen Xi and Jia Xu smiled slightly, as originally estimated, the Chen family in Xuzhou was very knowledgeable, or they also noticed that things like bed crossbows would do more harm than good to their family, so they deliberately exposed it in Cao Song's incident, which can be regarded as buying peace in the future.
