"Subordinates obey!" Guo Yi agreed, hesitated for a moment and asked: "General, this Li Yuande is too bold to dare to plant nails among the family members and maidservants of the Assassin Mansion, he wants to keep an eye on the general's every move!" General, do you want to give him a little color? ”

Zhao Junsheng felt that this Li Yuande was very interesting, he analyzed it, Li Yuande did this There are several possibilities: first, Li Yuande wants to elevate him and prevent him from controlling the Youzhou military formation, this person wants to support the army or accumulate strength to rebel; second, Li Yuande received a secret order from the emperor to spy on him; Third, Li Yuande took refuge in a certain minister in the DPRK, and this minister still has contradictions with him!

No matter which possibility it is, since Li Yuande has done this, then this person is his enemy Zhao Junsheng!

Zhao Junsheng couldn't help but look up at Guo Yi, "We're new here, how do you want to give him a little color?" ”

"This ······ The subordinates are only from the general's orders! ”

Zhao Junsheng looked like he hated iron but not steel, and waved his hand: "This general has his own plans for this matter, you go down first, and do what you are responsible for well!" ”

"Yes!"

Under the auspices of Zhao Junsheng, the official affairs of the Assassin Mansion returned to normal within a few days, and gradually became regular, the three-legged toad in the first few years is difficult to find, but the people who want to be officials grab a lot of them, Zhao Junsheng and others are new officials, and the leaders of the Cao army under the Assassin Mansion do not dare to slack off, they just want to work hard in front of Zhao Junsheng and others, hoping to be recognized and promoted.

On this morning, Dongfang Chen, Pei Jin, and Cao Jiao came successively to report to Zhao Junsheng on the official handling of the past few days.

"General, my subordinates have classified and sorted out the resumes of all the officials in the eighteen counties of Fanyang, Yanjun and Yuyang, and the general situation is written on this, please take a look at it!" Dongfang Chen handed Zhao Junsheng a roster.

Zhao Junsheng took the roster and opened it to look at it, and he found that this was not so much a roster of officials in three counties and eighteen counties, but rather a network map of the relationship between the officials in the officialdom of Youzhou, with clear factions in each camp.

Zhao Junsheng took a cursory look at it, and was shocked by Dongfang Chen for a while, "How did Mr. figure out the relationship between the officials of the three counties and eighteen counties of Youzhou in just three days?" ”

Dongfang Chen said with a smile: "There are resumes and files of all officials in the file room, which are kept intact, and the subordinates have read all the resumes and files of these people, and made records, and then inferred them according to their promotions, flat transfers, demotions, places of origin and handling officials, so as to judge their approximate camp, and the subordinates can assert that even if this relationship chart is wrong, the accuracy rate should be more than ninety percent!" ”

Zhao Junsheng got up and shook the ground: "Mr. is talented!" ”

Dongfang Chen hurriedly dodged to the side, "The general can't be like this, his subordinates can't afford it!" ”

After Zhao Junsheng sat down again, Dongfang Chen took out a fold from his big sleeve and handed it over and said: "General, the Assassin Mansion Soldier Cao Office has recorded the approximate number of soldiers and horses led by Fan Yang Taishou Mao Xiuzhi, Yanjun Taishou Li Yuande, and Yuyang Taishou Feng Yu, according to the regulations, Mao Xiuzhi should lead 1,828 people; Li Yuande should lead 2,156 men; Feng Yu should command 5,124 people, in addition to the number of troops in command of Feng Ta is basically consistent with the record, the number of troops in command of Mao Xiuzhi and Li Yuande greatly exceeds the number of records! ”

Zhao Junsheng took the excerpt and opened it and looked at it, Dongfang Chen wrote very clearly on the excerpt, the more than 1,800 people led by Mao Xiuzhi should be the number of Xianbei generals, but Mao Xiuzhi is also a general of Wu Bing, and there are more than 8,000 Southern Dynasty troops under his command.

General Wu Bing, is an elegant name, in fact, it is to gather the soldiers captured from the Southern Dynasty and send a general to take over, the name of this general is called General Wu Bing, because the capital of the Southern Dynasty is in Jiankang, and it belongs to Wu Land during the Three Kingdoms period, so these soldiers are called Wu Bing, and the general of the army is called General Wu Bing, and this title is how it comes.

Zhao Junsheng looked at the number of soldiers and horses led by Li Yuande again, Li Yuande's actual number of troops should only be 2,156 people, which is the number of Xianbei generals, but Li Yuande has 12,000 Han soldiers under him, these Han soldiers were recruited by Liu Jie, Zhang Song, Li Shun and others after supporting Tuoba Huang as the emperor, after the imperial court established by Tuoba Pi was destroyed, these Han soldiers should all be disbanded, but afterwards Du Chao did not disband these Han soldiers, but retained the establishment.

The excerpt also wrote that there were 3,000 soldiers and horses under the direct jurisdiction of the Assassin Mansion, and the former Beizhonglang general Chi Yandong was appointed as the Sima of Youzhou, and these 3,000 soldiers and horses were led.

"This Wei Chi Yandong is a bit interesting, before Tuoba Pi withdrew from Pingcheng with the Manchu Dynasty civil and military forces, he ordered him to lead his troops to the East Camp to converge, but Wei Chi Yandong did not move his troops and did not come to Youzhou with Tuoba Pi!"

When Dongfang Chen said this, he said to Zhao Junsheng: "General, in the humble opinion of his subordinates, the emperor should appreciate this lieutenant Chi Yandong very much, and sending him to be the Sima of the Youzhou Army should be just a transition, and he should be of other important use!" ”

Zhao Junsheng touched his chin, looked up at Dongfang City and asked, "Sir, do you think Mao Xiuzhi and Li Yuande can be used by me?" ”

Dongfang Chen stroked his long beard and said with a smile: "The subordinates still have some friendship with Mao Xiuzhi, when Mao Xiuzhi was a general of Liu Song, he took good care of my master and apprentice when he guarded Luoyang, and later he was captured by Hu Xia, Hu Xia's Tongwan City was captured by the Wei army after it was broken by the Wei army, the first emperor was ready to kill him, it was the master who remembered his care in Luoyang and pleaded with the first emperor, the first emperor took his life, and his subordinates took him out of prison!" ”

Zhao Junsheng said: "In this way, the backer behind Mao Xiuzhi is Kou Tianshi? ”

"It's the subordinate master!"

"Okay, hahaha······" Zhao Junsheng laughed, and after laughing, he asked again: "What about this Li Yuande?" Is there a way sir to make him work for me? ”

Dongfang Chen shook his head and said: "General, in the opinion of his subordinates, this person is only afraid that he has another backer in the court, and it is not easy to let this person change the court!" Why did the general have to convince him? Wouldn't it be better if he weakened his military power? ”

"Oh, how to weaken his military power?"

Dongfang Chen walked up to Zhao Junsheng and whispered a few words in his ear, and Zhao Junsheng nodded again and again.

Pei Jin took a step forward and said: "General, in the past few days, my subordinates have found that the grain, grass, money, weapons, armor and other materials in the treasury of the Assassin's Mansion have been basically exhausted, and the warehouses are indeed empty, but in fact, there are many problems with these accounts, and there are a large number of fake and bad debts!" ”

Zhao Junsheng frowned and said, "You mean that Du Chao emptied the treasury before leaving, leaving a mess for General Ben?" ”

"Yes, the main book in charge of the relevant accounts has been taken away by Du Chao! There is not a single copper plate left on the books of the Thorn Mansion, and all the supplies are already half empty! ”

Zhao Junsheng's face is ugly, this Du Chao is definitely deliberate, even if he writes to impeach Du Chao, the emperor will definitely suppress his performance in order not to affect the overall situation, this Du Chao's courage is really too big, does he think that the emperor will move him for the rest of his life?

Zhao Junsheng is sure that as long as the limelight passes, the emperor will definitely find an excuse to attack Du Chao.

He thought for a while and asked, "By the way, where is Du Chao transferred now?" ”

"My subordinates heard that Du Chao was transferred to Xuzhou as the assassin!"

Zhao Junsheng suddenly realized: "I see, no wonder Du Chao dares to do this, Xuzhou is on the border of the Southern Dynasty, as long as the imperial court shows its intention to attack him, he will definitely rebel and defect to the Southern Dynasty!" ”

Pei Jin asked, "General, do you want to tell the emperor about this?" ”

Zhao Junsheng thought for a while, raised his hand and shook his head: "No······ It's useless to write about this matter, it is destined to be suppressed by the emperor! ”

After speaking, Zhao Junsheng said to Dongfang Chen: "How about Mr. please go to Zhuo County?" ”

Dongfang Chen agreed: "It's just a gesture!" ”

Cao Jiao stood up again and reported to Zhao Junsheng: "General, according to the investigation of his subordinates, it was found that in the three counties and eighteen counties of Youzhou, except for the county lieutenants and county soldiers in each county below, there are no county soldiers in the three major county towns, and the security of the county soldiers is all taken care of by the soldiers under the command of the three Taishou generals!" Among them, the positions of Governor of Yan County and Governor of Yuyang are vacant, and Li Yuande and Feng Yu actually control the public security and criminal affairs of Yan County and Yuyang County! ”

"In addition, the three thousand Youzhou troops under the direct jurisdiction of the Assassin Mansion are actually scattered, the military discipline is sloppy, Wei Chi Yandong is only eight days earlier than us, and he has not yet fully controlled the three thousand Youzhou army!"

Early the next morning, Zhao Junsheng sent Li Bao with more than 20 personal guards cavalry to escort Dongfang Chen to Zhuo County to see Mao Xiuzhi.

Soon after Dongfang Chen left, Zhao Junsheng took Cao Jiao and some of his own soldiers to the Youzhou Army garrison.

The camp of the 3,000 Youzhou Army is just outside the city, and these 3,000 people are all cavalry, and the composition is relatively complicated, why is it said that its composition is complicated? Because one-third of the 3,000 Youzhou troops are Xianbei people, one-third are Ding Ling people, and one-third are high-speed people.

In the Northern Wei Army, all the generals and colonels in the same establishment are basically people of the same race, and the generals or officers are also people of the same race, and basically they will not be mixed with people from other tribes, because of the language barrier, they cannot communicate, and their living customs are also different, and it is easy to break out conflicts when they are forcibly mixed together.

For example, in Wuchuan Town, from the town general to the small soldiers, all of them are Han, which can only happen if the emperor specifically issues a holy decree, because according to the regulations of the Northern Wei Dynasty, the Han people can only cultivate and pay taxes, and in other cases, at most do the work of auxiliary soldiers, and the Xianbei people will not let the Han people be the main combat troops.

It is precisely because of the complex composition of the 3,000 men and horses of the Youzhou Army that it is chaotic, and in the absence of a commander general, the military discipline is scattered, and the Xianbei people, Ding Ling people, and Gaoche people in the army do not like each other, and often fight and fight.

"The last general, Sima Wei of the Youzhou Army, delayed the east to meet the envoy!" At the gate of the Youzhou military camp, Lieutenant Chi Yandong saw Zhao Junsheng clasping his fists and saluting.

Zhao Junsheng raised his hand: "General Wei Chi doesn't have to be polite, the general will come to inspect the Youzhou Army garrison today, and he won't cause you trouble, right?" ”
