Just when the officials thought that Zhao Xun had softened, the counterattack began, and it was so frightening that it was terrifying.

The Yamen of the Tiqi Division of Luoyang City was burned overnight, and the officials of the Tiqi Division were killed. In the east of Yongzhou, Jizhou, Yuzhou, and Yanzhou, the Yamen of the Tiqi Division in Zhufu County was broken, and the light and dark sentinels were killed.

There are even bounty orders for bounties for killing, and the heads of all Ti Cavalry Divisions can be exchanged for silver. Naturally, the state governments and governments did not dare to manage it, nor did they bother to manage it. No one has a good impression of the Ti Cavalry Division, and it is not the Ti Cavalry Division controlled by Situ Lei.

The Ti Cavalry Division was originally a yamen used by the imperial court to monitor the world, and it was somewhat similar to the Jinyi Guard. There are its yamen in various places, and the sentinels are divided into two types: light and dark, in addition to the secret agents who are deployed in the territory of foreign tribes, but this kind of secret agents have recently become extinct.

"Ruthless...... This kid is too ruthless, as soon as he moves his hand, it is a thunderous blow. Murong Cheng heard the news, smashed his mouth, and sighed.

Zhao Xun didn't move, and when he moved, it was a thunderbolt from the sky, which shocked Situ Lei and made him dizzy. He was stunned and didn't expect that Zhao Xun would directly use force. But the court is coming, I won't come with you, if you move my people, I will kill your people.

The problem is that everyone knows that this is the result of Zhao Xun's revenge, but there is no actual evidence. Even Luoyang can't get evidence, let alone the place. Even if they get it, they don't dare to take it out. If you think about it, this Zhao Xun even did it directly with the people of the Ti Qi Division, let alone you as a magistrate. Chop you, and others will be eager to climb to your place.

These local officials are not afraid of people like Situ Lei, Situ Lei has requirements for them, as long as they do it. But a person like Zhao Xun can directly use a knife against you, who can afford it?

Above the court, Situ Lei's face was gloomy, but there was no way, they could not take Zhao Xun's seat with evidence. Besides, Zhao Xun has just entered Luoyang, and the soldiers under his command are naturally in the mansion and the barracks, and they don't bring any handle to others.

It's funny to say, among the few crossbow arrows deliberately left behind at this moment, there are all guards, and many of them are in the army of Situ Lei's cronies.

"Lord Zuo, General Ben has heard that there has been a big case in the city recently, it seems to be related to you, let's hear about it." Zhao Xun said with a smile.

Situ Lei, who was already gloomy, became even more gloomy after listening to Zhao Xun's words. He looked at Zhao Xun with dead eyes, and whispered: "Boy, you don't follow the rules!" ”

"What do you mean? I don't understand what Zuo Xiang-sama means? What are you doing staring at me like this, this matter has nothing to do with me. Although, too, I'd love to cut you into slices, but what has happened lately really has nothing to do with me. As we all know, General Ben has been accepting new recruits in the barracks recently, so I am also new to the outside world, but it has nothing to do with me. Zhao Xun said with a smile.

"By the way, Zuo Xiang, I'll just say, you're old, it's time to rest, don't shake the sky and work hard, it's not good for your health." This time, Zhao Xun's voice was a little louder.

"Zuo Xiang, I thought the general was right, you, it's time to rest." King Qi also responded with a smile.

"Rest? In the current situation, how can we rest? The rebels in Xuzhou in the east and the Turks in the north are approaching, how can I rest lightly when I serve the country? Zhao Xun, your methods are a little too much! Finally, he whispered to Zhao Xun.

"Passed? Zuo Xiang doesn't think that I did all this, right? I admit I participated, but definitely not alone. Zhao Xun said lightly. He was going to pour some ink on Situ Lei's heart.

"You're not alone? Anyone else? Situ Lei said with a frown.

"Perhaps, my people will see the other people here." Zhao Xun then made up nonsense.

The court meeting was very boring, to be honest, Zhao Xun didn't want to participate in the court meeting at all. Every thing, big things were decided by Situ Lei, that is, some small things or things that could not be divided equally, and then they were brought to the emperor to play.

And the former, as an emperor, can only deal with some small things, isn't it very weird. And when Situ Lei and Murong Cheng couldn't divide it equally, the emperor wanted to make a decision, but he couldn't.

Zhao Xun had some sympathy for Emperor Xuanwu, who was sitting on the main seat, an emperor who was neither stupid nor young, but he had become an ornament. The decisions made are all big and trivial matters, it can be said that the holy decree cannot be issued to the palace, and the Zuo Xiang and the King of Qi have the final say. Fortunately, the Imperial Forest Army and the Praetorian Guard are still in the hands of the emperor, otherwise, the situation is worrying and the situation is even worse. However, Rao is like this, and no one knows how many of the Royal Forest Army and Praetorian Guards are people who have been planted by other forces.

Since the departure of the state officials, Zhao Xun, who re-entered the court, knew that it would be difficult to make a difference in the court, so he was ready to pull Qianniuwei up first and deter them by force.

You play yours, I play play, if you cross the line and provoke me, I will make you look good. That's what Zhao Xun's meaning is.

At the end of the first month, the caravans of Youzhou also traveled to and from Yongzhou, and at the same time, they also traded with other state capitals to secretly purchase raw materials for black powder.

Speaking of black powder, no matter what others in the court said, the answer given by Zhao Xun was that it was obtained by chance, the quantity was scarce, and the transportation was inconvenient, but he did not give them an explanation. Seeing Zhao Xun like this, others couldn't either, but they all paid more attention to Zhao Xun, and the prestige of this earth-shattering thunder was known. But this thing is in the hands of this ruthless young man.

The Huitong Money House in Jizhou also gradually began to expand, and Youzhou coins began to circulate with the surrounding states, and even Luoyang began to flow into a small number of Youzhou coins.

"General, I heard that there is a fine currency circulating in the world, and the people say that it is Youzhou coins, can the general know?" Situ Lei asked in a deep voice.

"You know, this is what our Xiaoguo Army forged, what? Zuo Xiang also wants to exchange some huàn? Zhao Xun said with a smile.

"Does the general know that it was illegal to mint coins privately? As a court official, the general knows the law and violates the law, and the crime is added to the first degree! 陛xià......"

"Wait......" Zhao Xun interrupted the old official who was over sixty a year, and said impatiently: "Who are you?" ”

"Zuo Mingjiang, the waiter of the Ministry of Lower Rites! What does the general have to say? The old man said with an arrogant face.

Zhao Xun sneered: "I don't dare to advise, I am so old, I don't stay at home to enjoy the fun of my children and grandchildren, and I still talk nonsense here." It seems that he is old and confused. ”

"Zhao Xun, I respect you as a champion general, don't be too arrogant, isn't what I said true? Self-minting coins is already illegal and should be severely punished. Zuo Mingjiang pointed at Zhao Xun and roared with a trembling voice.

"Illegal? Now whether it is the rebellion in Xuzhou or Liangzhou, the imperial court quells the rebellion, whether to allocate food and salary, but my Xiaoguo army does not ask the court for a single wisp. Even though I have not paid taxes or the imperial court in Youzhou, they are exempt from the common people. Even if these taxes are collected, do you think that if other armies come to Youzhou, who will have more income and cost? ”

"The invasion of the Yan army, the fall of the four provinces, and then the harassment of the three provinces. The northern provinces have all been poisoned by the Yan army, can the taxes in these places meet the needs of counterinsurgency? ”

Immediately afterwards, there was turmoil in the south of Youzhou, the army sent south, and there were wars everywhere. Can these war-torn places receive taxes? If you want to collect taxes now, I will say that it is the meaning of the Ministry of Rites. I also want to see if Zuo Shilang can be worthy of the people of the world! These said coldly.

"This general attacked Zhuhu in the north, recovered the lost territory, and even forced the northern tribes to subdue. Without the support of the imperial court, Youzhou is already in dire straits, can't it be minted coins? If Zuo Shilang insists on stopping, then I will give them an order to stop. However, the anger of the 200,000 army in Youzhou needs to be borne by Zuo Shilang. ”

Zuo Mingjiang's face turned dark, and he couldn't speak for a long time. Although Zhao Xun's self-minting coins is wrong, there are more self-minted coins in the state capitals of the world. Zhao Xun is also reasonable, the Youzhou Xiaoguo Army fought in the south and the north, and it really didn't use the silver money of the imperial court.

As for what Zuo Shilang thinks, others don't care, these people care about the 200,000 army in Zhao Xun's hands. Among them, more than 100,000 are the divisions of a hundred battles, who can stop them in the world? So much so that Situ Lei had the idea of letting go of fighting with Zhao Xun.

Emperor Xuanwu was also shocked, to put it mildly, he was the weakest.

"Alright, that's it. The general has worked hard, and the finances of Youzhou are indeed beyond their means, so the coins will be minted, and I see that the coins minted by the generals are not only not short of catties or two, but better. Emperor Xuanwu said with a smile.

"This Zhao Xun is worth wooing, but it can't be reused." Emperor Xuanwu had such a thought in his heart.

And Situ Lei and Murong Cheng secretly scolded their subordinate intelligence officers in their hearts. As for the actual situation of the Xiaoguo Army, they did not have a detailed understanding at all.

This can't be blamed on the incompetence of those spies, it can only be said that the distribution of the Xiaoguo Army is too scattered, and in addition, no one can approach the area around the Xiaoguo Army military camp at will. Except for the county soldiers and some big cities and important cities, the rest of the prefectures and counties, the people can't figure out which part of the garrison here is.

In addition, Xiaoguojun's new household registration system and security department have put a lot of pressure on foreign spies. If one is not good, it will be exposed to the eyes of the Xiaoguo army.

It's not that Zhao Xun doesn't respect the old and love the young, it's just that these elderly officials are the most troublesome, he doesn't do good things, and he doesn't do practical things, except for using some ancestral systems, what laws, etc. to criticize you. I don't understand the effect of what others do. The court doesn't give money, so I'm going to rob it.

After retreating from the dynasty, Zhao Xun still left alone, while Situ Lei was thinking about who attacked the Tiqi Division. The Tycis was the source of information and a sharp knife in his hands. was stepped on like this, wouldn't it be a slap in the face of his left minister?

On the surface, it was Zhao Xun who fought back, but Situ Lei thought about it and thought that it was all Zhao Xun who was unlikely. Because before and after Zhao Xun's departure, the people of the Tiqi Division began to pay attention, and the people who came and went from Youzhou, in addition to the merchants, there were only four or five hundred additional people, and they could not achieve the current sharp effect at all.

That night, the Yamen of the Tiqi Division suffered a heavy blow, in addition to bows and arrows, there are also crossbow arrows and fire oil, these things are completely military supplies, only available in the army, and ordinary people can't get them.

Because of the importance of Zhao Xun, there were naturally people waiting around the Qianniuwei camp, but in those few nights, Qianniuwei did not take large-scale action. That means that it is unlikely that Qianniuwei will be dispatched.

"Could it be Murong Cheng?" Situ Lei rubbed his eyebrows and thought secretly.

"It is also possible that, on the surface, it seems that it is to provoke the contradiction between me and Zhao Xun, but he is sitting firmly in the back of the Diaoyutai. Crossbow arrows and fire oil, except for me, Zhao Xun and the Praetorian Guard, only Murong Cheng has ...... The Praetorian Guard didn't move, and neither did the Qianniuwei! Could it really be Murong Cheng! Damn bastards! I'm back home, let the black shadow check it out! Situ Lei, who was sitting in a sedan chair, scolded secretly.

"Husband, you're back! Just now, a businessman sent me an invitation, but it didn't look like an invitation, saying that it was for you to see for yourself! Li Xinyan smiled and took out the things in his hand.

It's like an invitation, and it's like a folded thing, but it's actually a secret letter from Youzhou. After Zhao Xun and Li Xinyan talked for a while, they opened it and read it, and the letters were all made of passwords.

After reading it, Zhao Xun was a little stunned, as mentioned above, Li Muzhi was defeated by Li Muzhi, the protector of the Beihai Prefecture, and more than half of the Eight Banners of the Yao Ya were lost.

After taking a closer look, I found that there were talents around this red art, and he used the strategy of arrogance to abolish half of the Eight Banners of the Eight Banners. Among them, there are reasons for Li Muzhi's carelessness, and there are also reasons for the arrogance of the Eight Banners of the Eight Banners. However, for Zhao Xun, it is all a good thing. In order to protect themselves, the Beihai tribes could only let Li Muzhi continue to recruit new soldiers from the Beihai tribes, which were the Eight Banners of the Yangtze River that broke away from the original tribe. Because there are trophies to be obtained after participating in the Eight Banners of the Eight Banners, there are many participants.

Zhao Xun didn't reply when he read it, because this letter was his own separate channel, and the rest of the people didn't know about it. Come to think of it, it won't be long before the information from Youzhou will come back and forth.

Sure enough, in less than two days, the information of the Shadow Division, the Eagle Eye Division, and the Youzhou Metropolitan Governor's Mansion all came, and the content was similar. The only difference is that the information of the Youzhou Metropolitan Governor's Mansion is signed under the content of Jianyì.

After reading the construction of the Secretary for Administration and the Secretary for Military Affairs, Zhao Xun made an instruction, and then issued it in code. At the same time, there is also his current situation, of course, he also has to write a letter to his family, so that the "caravan" can bring back some gifts.

"Husband, this is the inner clothes that Sister Li'er made for you, as well as this, this talisman, these are all made by Sister Ziyan, Sister Su, and Sister Ruolan. By the way, the most special thing is this, the hair of the two children! Li Xinyan said to Zhao Xun with various gifts.

"Okay, seriously, I miss them a lot, as well as Heng'er and Rui'er." Zhao Xun said with a nostalgic face.
