In the north of Gaoling County, the Shunzhou Military Camp teaches martial arts!

"Jingle ......"

Su Ziyan snorted coldly, the long sword in his hand shook, and he pointed out several cold rays, stabbing directly at Zhao Xun.

Zhao Xun's body turned, and he circled around Su Ziyan's droplets, and the Xuantie spear suddenly appeared in front of the long sword, and a silver cold light flashed on the tip of the spear, and with a ding, it was nailed to the blade of the long sword, making Su Ziyan retreat a few steps in a row.

"Hmph, don't underestimate me!" Su Ziyan snorted coldly, followed him like a shadow, and instantly approached Zhao Xun's side, and with a turn of the long sword, it stabbed at Zhao Xun's throat with a cold air, which immediately made the spear stab that was about to be cast lose its target.

Zhao Xun's body suddenly twisted, and the Xuantie spear in the stabbing suddenly turned into a stab, and with a whistling sound, it slammed on the body of the long sword in Su Ziyan's hand.

"Touching ......"

The cold light flashed, and the long sword in Su Ziyan's hand flew out ten meters away.

Looking at Su Ziyan's cold face, Zhao Xun said lightly: "Okay, you can act with us, as long as you can stand the suffering." Three days later, the army marched! With that, he turned around and left without hesitation.

Looking at Zhao Xun's figure, Su Ziyan felt sad and sad for a while, bit her mouth, and turned away with a sad expression.

After the news of Li Chenfeng's victory was reported, Zhao Xun was relieved about the situation in the south of you. The commander of the Weizhou Mansion's Indigo Army, Wu Kebu, was angry that the Huolin Army occupied the Yingzhou Mansion and repeatedly harassed the surrounding areas of Yingzhou City, which made Zhao Xun, who originally wanted to recuperate, very angry. I don't move, you still think I'm a soft persimmon, easy to pinch.

So he ordered Li Chen's wind wheel to be like a military training, and let the infantry army of the two prefectures of Yingzhou Mansion enter Weizhou Mansion, and then occupy the land of the two counties to curb the road of the northern invasion of Yingzhou City by the Yan Army. In the past month or so, according to Zhao Xun's meaning, except for the guerrilla annihilation of the Yan army outside the city, the rest of the Huolin army has been attacking the city head-on, which can be regarded as making the Huolin army officially an army that dares to fight.

The reason why he took the land of the two counties in Weizhou Mansion was that in addition to killing the prestige of the Yan Army, there were other purposes. At the beginning, Zhao Xun's plan was that Weizhou Mansion and Shunzhou Mansion would secretly take it by themselves, in case the imperial court suddenly made a move. Although the Huolin Army is very powerful, Zhao Xun doesn't think that he can compete with the entire imperial court now.

But, as the saying goes, plans don't change as fast as they do. First of all, the Central Plains Imperial Court exterminated the Xuzhou rebels, and there was another change. The Xuzhou rebels were originally some exploited fishermen and farmers who killed the local county officials in anger, and then rose up, and obtained the remnants of the local government army and occupied the land of Xuzhou. First of all, in the twenty-first year of Xuanwu, the counterinsurgency army of the imperial court was defeated by the Xuzhou rebels, and more than 100,000 guards were killed.

Last year, the imperial court sent Murong Cheng, the king of Qi, to lead an army of 150,000 troops to once again quell the growing rebels in Xuzhou. Although because of the rout of the first guard, the rebels had excellent armor, but Murong Cheng led the elite guards of the imperial court. Therefore, at the beginning, the Xuzhou rebels were defeated one after another. But for some reason, next, the Xuzhou rebels became stronger and stronger, although they did not defeat Murong Cheng's guards, but they did not suffer too much loss. But after the New Year, Murong Cheng never defeated the Xuzhou rebels again. It was even defeated several times, and the Xuzhou rebels were even more arrogant and called themselves the Xuzhou Army.

This time, in addition to the defeat of the imperial army, the Xuzhou army was not as good as before, only knowing the destruction, not the construction. I don't know whose idea it was, the Xuzhou army began to implement rent reduction and interest-free in Xuzhou, stabilized the place, and won the support of hundreds of people. Speaking of which, some strategies in Xuzhou were not even implemented by Zhao Xun. This is also the reason why the Xuzhou army has steadily occupied most of Xuzhou, as the so-called, everything that is beneficial to the people, once it starts, it can no longer be restored. The wheel of history is rolling forward, and no one can stop it, and he will get the support of the people for what is beneficial to the people.

The situation in Xuzhou suddenly made King Qi's momentum greatly reduced, and his voice in the court and China was reduced a lot. And Li Huaiyuan, the governor of Youzhou, is the party of King Qi, and he is nothing on weekdays, but now, according to Li Muzhi's secret meaning, Li Huaiyuan is the primary figure to be overthrown by the Left Prime Minister's party. Even the charges were ready-made, and the Turquoise army invaded, but the governor of a state was indifferent. Before, he was afraid of Murong Cheng's protection, but now, Murong Cheng has been stirred up by the Xuzhou army, and it is estimated that he will not be able to reach out. According to Li Muzhi's informant Zhao Xun, the general of Zhenbei, Cao Gang, had secretly mobilized manpower, and there were signs of action towards Youzhou City and Jizhou Mansion. Li Muzhi asked Zhao Xun to speed up the action, and this time the Li family was in trouble and rescued him.

Of course, Zhao Xun naturally did not change his plan for the sake of the imperial court, but Li Muzhi told him that he would hand over the Jizhou Mansion, Yizhou Mansion, Zhuozhou Mansion and Yuyang Mansion to Zhao Xun, and he should be the reward for this rescue. It is naturally not possible to take it directly, but isn't there a "assistance" of the Shen Yan army, this matter is promising, after all, Zhao Xun and several Huolin troops defeated the Shen Yan army, and the Youzhou god general is famous.

In addition to these, what also made Zhao Xun give up the strategy of bowing his head and pretending to be his grandson was because of the situation of the Xuzhou Army. Originally, the rebel army, which was formed by some fishermen, farmers, and salt dealers, was so strong that how could it resist the encirclement and suppression of the most elite guards in the entire Yan Kingdom? The first time may be careless, and even many people secretly speculate that the left minister deliberately defeated the army, borrowing the hands of the enemy, to get rid of the guard generals who did not respect their own orders in the guards, but this time the left side of the head Qi Wang also couldn't fight for a long time, but it made some people figure out some flavors, and more importantly, the rebels who were like exiles and bandits in the past have now begun to govern the place, which is completely the meaning of separating and standing on their own feet and continuing to operate.

These are not the most important reasons, but the situation of the Xuzhou Army this time has made some border troops and governors of the state capital think carefully, and it has also made many people see the decline of the imperial court and the decline of the guards. In the past three years, the drought and food shortage have forced grain prices to skyrocket. In addition, the situation in the north and northwest is unstable, which costs money and food. The imperial court once again increased taxes, making the people everywhere miserable, and Xuzhou, which used to be the land of production, became a heavy household for the imperial court to pay taxes, and as a result, the people of Xuzhou were forced to rebel. The current Yan Kingdom is even worse, and in some places, even the status of the salary can not be sent......

In the middle of March this year, the commanders of Zhangye Mansion, Yanju Mansion, Wuwei Mansion and Guzang Mansion in Liangzhou raised their banners and rebelled because they were not angry with the arrears of wages from the imperial court, and called themselves the Liang Army, and their leader Xu Liang proclaimed himself King of Liang, and then occupied Dunhuang Mansion, Jiuquan Mansion, Suzhou Mansion, and Ganzhou Mansion, occupying two-thirds of Liangzhou at once, and the troops approached Chang'an City, the capital of the country, making the world change color. So the world's attention was once again focused on Chang'an and Liangzhou. The current Yan Kingdom is estimated to be busy saving their lives, and there will not be much concern about the situation in Youzhou for the time being, so in the middle of the year, I think that now is the best time to come out.

Although the war in Xuzhou continued, the merchants of Xuzhou used sea ships to travel back and forth between the north and the south to trade goods. What made Zhao Xun even more strange was that this Xuzhou businessman actually came to the Huolin Army's jurisdiction to directly buy war horses, cattle and sheep, furs, medicinal materials, weapons and other materials from the Huolin Army, needless to say, this must be the materials needed by the Xuzhou Army. After reporting to Zhao Xun, Zhao Xun rushed back to Yanzhou City to discuss with everyone, and decided to sell these materials, because even if he didn't sell them, Haizhou Mansion and the Yan people would sell them. Since the group can't stop it, let's get these profits in our hands. Zhao Xun agreed to the transaction with the other party, but asked the other party to trade with salt, grain, cloth and other materials.

Thinking that Xu Qinlian, Li Ruolan and others were idle at home, Zhao Xun had an idea, so he asked the two of them to form a business with Su Ran, Li Xinyan and other women to make profits from it. Under Zhao Xun's attention, several women formed the White Feather Firm. The guards are built by internal guards, and the method of operation is taught by Zhao Xun's words and deeds, coupled with Zhao Xun's idea, in just three or four months, the white feather business is already a big business name in Yanzhou Mansion, Yingzhou Mansion, and Haizhou Mansion, if it is not for the six-star reputation level of the Huolin Army behind it, protected by the Huolin Army, I am afraid that it has already been embezzled by some people.

After more than three months of training in the Shunzhou army, the atmosphere changed greatly, coupled with Zhao Xun's strict military discipline, the people in Gaoling County were no longer afraid of these army soldiers harassing the people for no reason, but regarded them as the protection of Gaoling County. The current Shunzhou army has 3,000 tigers, 1,000 cavalry, and 2,000 foot soldiers. The first to the fourth capital were all 2,000 men, of which the fourth was cavalry. In addition, there are 500 county soldiers in the county seat of Gaoling County, and there are more or less patrol soldiers in each township and township, which add up to 500 people, and these 1,000 people are under the jurisdiction of the county lieutenant and are responsible for local security.

I don't know if the Black Snake Army's left army was completely annihilated to deter the Black Snake Army, and for three months in a row, the Black Snake Army did not continue to harass Gaoling County, so that the Shunzhou Army in Gaoling County completed the integration and training. And Zhao Xun has also traveled back and forth between Shunzhou Mansion and Yanzhou Mansion in the past three months to negotiate the situation between the two places.

In the battles between Yingzhou Prefecture and Yanzhou Prefecture, Baixian County, and Weizhou Prefecture, 33,000 prisoners were captured or surrendered one after another, and these people could not be kept in vain, and they also needed to be properly handled. In the end, among the 33,000 captives, Zhao Xun selected 10,000 people who were willing to become Han peoples, formed three cavalry battalions, and asked them to take turns to participate in the battle of Weizhou Prefecture, so that they could draw a clear relationship with the Yan army. Of the 10,000 people, 6,000 survived intact in the end, and they formed three battalions, namely the White Wolf Battalion, the Red Panther Battalion, and the Black Panther Battalion.

The three battalions of non-commissioned officers are all composed of prisoners of the Northern Navy and prisoners of the Yanzhou Mansion and the Yanzhou Prefecture, and they also participate in many people of all ethnic groups living in Yanzhou Mansion and Yingzhou Mansion, so they are not afraid of forming a group. What's more, the reward after participating in the war made them completely fall from their hearts to the Huolin Army and to Zhao Xun.

So, according to the usual practice, the cavalry of the three battalions were all 2,000 people, among which the captains of the White Wolf Battalion were Yang Li and An Tai. The lieutenants of the Red Leopard Battalion are Zamuhe and Zhang Tong, of which Zhang Tong is the leader of the pro-guard battalion, who is very loyal to Zhao Xun and has extraordinary riding skills. The captain of the Black Panther Battalion is Li Wanlie and Ma Lu, Ma Lu, like Zhang Tong, was born in the Guard Battalion. As for the remaining prisoners of the Warriors, they were reduced to coolies, repairing official roads, ditches, and reclaiming wasteland under the box. Among them, those who are outstanding can break away from the status of slaves, become Han people, and enjoy the treatment of ordinary people. There are even some slightly wealthy families who go directly to the government to buy slaves of the Tatar people, become their own servants, and let them plow the land for themselves and do hard work. In this regard, Zhao Xun did not stop it, after all, under the Huolin Army, slaves are not allowed to be bought and sold privately.

The south is victorious, and it is time for the Shunzhou army to act, this time, Zhao Xun decided to give the Black Snake Army a hard blow, so that he will no longer be able to turn over, maybe let him completely disappear. The sooner Shunzhou Mansion is taken, the more beneficial it will be to Zhao Xun.

The Beihai tribes in the north really went into chaos, but the king of Beihai was obviously not a good person, regardless of Yun Wang's opposition, he directly dealt with those tribes who chirped crookedly, and killed those tribal nobles, and then let the slaves of the tribes turn to the people, and distributed part of the nobles' land and savings, and won the allegiance of these tribesmen at once. No, the king of the North Sea Chishu suddenly angered the leaders of the rest of the tribes, they united and refused to compromise with the king of the North Sea, and at this moment, the North Sea tribes in the north were divided into two parts, and for Zhao Xun, it was to subtract a sword of Damocles that could fall at any time on his head. The successful establishment of the North Wind City has also penetrated its own forces into the north for more than fifty miles, and the Beihai tribes have not made any response to this, which can be regarded as acquiescence.

In the past six months, Zhao Kang and Lu Ziliang of the Qingyang Army have also grown, and without touching Bao Muyang's nerves, they have expanded to 5,000 people, and at the same time they are stationed at the northern end of Wenkang County, where they meet the Black Snake Army. Seeing this, Bao Muyang ignored Zhao Kang's intention to expand the army privately, and let him guard the border, besides, Zhao Kang used his own money, and he couldn't control it.

"Young Master!" When he entered the barracks of the commanding envoy, he was greeted by a handsome young soldier in his suit. He is no one else, but Zhao Xun's portable girl Ruyu. Xu Qin saw that Zhao Xun was running back and forth from Shunzhou Mansion and lost a lot of weight, so he asked Ruyu to wait with him, and in addition, after Ruyu was rescued by Li Xinyan's family, she followed Li Xinyan's side, and also studied martial arts for a period of time, and there was no problem with waiting by Zhao Xun's side. Because it was inconvenient for women to have women in the barracks, they disguised themselves as men, incarnated as personal soldiers, and served by Zhao Xun's side.

"Ruyu, when there are people in the future, don't call me young master, call me the commander!" Zhao Xun shook his head, pinched Ruyu's small and white nose, and said with a smile.

"Yes, the commander made the adult, the little one remembered!"

"By the way, I'm going to lead the troops out in two days, so you can stay in the commanding envoy's mansion!"

"No, Madam said, let Xiao Yu wait for the young master with her, besides, Xiao Yu is also a person who has practiced martial arts and seen the battlefield, and if she guards the young master, she will not cause trouble to the young master." Ruyu said stubbornly.

"How can a girl go to war?"

"Then why is Miss Su okay? I can do it too! Ruyu said crisply.

As soon as he thought of Su Ziyan, Zhao Xun's head was big, and he smiled bitterly: "Okay, you can also go with me, but you must obey my military orders, otherwise, you should stay here." Zhao Xun said sternly.

Ruyu smiled: "Young Master, do you agree?" Don't worry, the slave will obey the order. ”

Zhao Xun said secretly: Follow it, I don't believe it, I can't even protect the people around me. Black Snake Army, it's time for you to end! Khitans, I hope you don't provoke me, otherwise, I will join forces with the Beihai tribes to knock you out......
