Turning back to the estuary battlefield, the post-war cleanup has ended. Looking at the jubilant Xin Ming, Xie Tong, Luo Yi and others, Zhao Xun couldn't help asking, "What's wrong?" Are you all happy to be like this? Found money? ”

"Forehead......" Xin Ming was stunned and said, "My lord, it's a big victory!" We've won a big game! Annihilated the left army of the Black Snake Army, well! Even General Zuo was killed by adults. This is an unprecedented victory for my Shunzhou army. ”

Seeing Xin Ming's appearance, Zhao Xun knew that the Shunzhou Army was beaten badly by the Black Snake Army.

"That's it! It's just a victory, is it worth being so happy? Besides, half of the credit this time is due to the Huolin Army Water Word Battalion? Now, clean up the battlefield and count the results, let's go back to the city and let those people in the city take a good look at what the Shunzhou army I reorganized is like. ”

"As for the Water Word Battalion, I will stay in Zilin Town for a while, and then withdraw to the North Wind Fort."

"My lord, the results of the battle have been counted!" Yang Qiu said respectfully. For Zhao Xun, now he is completely convinced and convinced. Before Zhao Xun came, the Shunzhou army was in chaos and did not follow orders. Externally, it was successively defeated by the Yan Army and the Black Snake Army, and its territory shrank again and again, becoming the smallest force. Originally, the Shunzhou Army, the Black Snake Army and the Qingyang Army each occupied two counties, and the Yan Army occupied three counties and the Fucheng. But now, the Shunzhou Army was taken away by the Black Snake Army, leaving only one county. The current situation is that the Shunzhou Army occupies Gaoling County, the easternmost county, and the Black Snake Army occupies Changling County, Fu County, and Dingbei County in the north. Bao Shuyang's Qingyang army occupied Changwu and Wenkang counties to the west. The Yan army held Zhenning County, Wuyi County, Mo County and Shunzhou City in the south.

"In this battle, because it was designed to defend against the enemy from the beginning, the casualties were not large. In the end, the Shunzhou army and tigers were killed and seriously wounded, and 230 soldiers were killed, and the fire ...... The brothers of the Huolin Army lost fifty-eight cavalry. The cavalry of the Black Snake Army surrendered on the 323rd, and the rest were killed! A total of 630 intact horses were captured, and 58 horses could be treated for serious injuries. More than 3,200 pieces of swords and guns and more than 500 pieces of longbows were seized. More than 5,000 pieces of money and property were seized, all of which were obtained from the Black Snake sergeants, and all of them were handed over to the public first. The Black Snake Army lost 2,300 casualties and surrendered more than 680. ”

"Good! Yes, well played this time! Zhao Xun said with a smile, very satisfied with the results of this battle. After pondering for a moment, he said: "More than 5,000 yuan, whether it is the Huolin Army or the Shunzhou Army, it is the same per capita, and the excess is the compensation for the fallen soldiers and the reward for the meritorious soldiers." What do you think? ”

"Your Excellency's Order!" Whether it was the officers of the Huolin Army or the Shunzhou Army, they all said in unison.

The corners of Zhao Xun's mouth curled slightly, and said, "Since you all agree, then let's do it." As for the captives, they were taken to Gaoling County and executed in public, which could also be regarded as revenge for the people under the jurisdiction of the Shunzhou army. As for the ghosts and ghosts in Gaoling County, it should also come out! After speaking, he smiled gloomily, and his eyes were full of murderous intent.

Du Yuan, the general of the unified army who once commanded one side, has become a prisoner since Zhao Yan appeared. No matter who you are, you can't accept such an ending. How can you accept the days when you are accustomed to snoring and drinking, and when you stretch out your hands when your clothes come to eat, how can you accept the days when you become an ordinary person?

Speaking of which, Du Yuan also developed as an ordinary person, hitchhiking on Li Yu's ride. This person has no advantages, he has a bad stomach, and he has been accused by Li Yu many times because of his inappropriate behavior. Du Yuan, who was angry, first pulled down Gongsun Yang, and the two hooked up together to gradually reduce Li Yu's strength. Later, there was a plan to get rid of Li Yu with the help of Gongsun Yang's hand, and then get rid of Gongsun Yang, and dominate the Shunzhou army. Among them, even Gongsun Yang and Zhang Jing were Du Yuan's ideas behind his back. It's a pity that the perfect plan was ruined by the young Zhao Yan. Du Yuan's hatred for Zhao Yan can be said to be poured out of the three rivers, and it is difficult to wash away.

For this method and ability called Zhao Yan, Du Yuan admires it very tightly, and with Li Yu's cooperation, he knows that he is not Zhao Yan's opponent. Therefore, when Zhao Yan was there, he was naturally as well-behaved as his grandson, but he was naturally unconvinced in his heart.

According to the news from his subordinates, Zhao Yan led the army out again, and Du Yuan's mind moved again.

"Xiaoluo, has the situation ever been confirmed? So did Zhao Yan really leave Gaoling County? Even the Tigers were taken away? Du Yuan's eyes lit up and said to the young man in front of him.

Xiaoluo is a small guy in Du Yuan's mansion, but when Du Yuan was still the commander of an army in the past, he naturally wouldn't pay too much attention to an ordinary guy. But since being deprived of their rights by Zhao Xun, those housekeepers of all sizes in the house have been killed by Zhao Xun on some charges, or placed in the Dao military camp and become a logistics team. As for the servants of the house, large and small, they naturally left him, the down-and-out master. And Xiaoluo is one of the dozen or so people who insisted on staying, just because Xiaoluo was grateful to Du Yuan for giving him a chance to live when he was in the most difficult time, so he insisted on staying.

Seeing this, Du Yuan included him in the scope of his henchmen after some simple tests. This is also something that can't be helped, who let Du Yuan have no one under him? His subordinates were all cleaned up by Zhao Xun.

"Then you immediately go and contact the old department under my command in the northern camp of the city, and let them set things right. In addition, contact the established Huang, Lin, Xu, Qian and other families, so that they can also echo. After it is done, it will naturally satisfy them. Du Yuan said lightly.

Xiaoluo frowned and said: "Master, although these families are now oppressed by the Shunzhou army, but let them come out, they are unwilling to do their best, besides, the guards who have not passed through the battlefield are afraid that they will not be able to defeat Li Yu's personal guards in the school captain's mansion." As for the camp in the north of the city, the old department of the master, after being dispersed, I don't know if they can echo it. And the cavalry battalion of the Huolin Army, I don't know what their attitude is? Will it affect the master's big things? ”

Du Yuan smiled: "You can rest assured of this!" These big clans have long been oppressed by the current policy of the Shunzhou army, and as long as there is a little spark, they will definitely be ignited with a bang. As long as they are dispatched, their superior manpower is enough to deal with Li Yu's pro-guard team of less than three hundred. As for the old department of the big battalion, they can pull out as much as they can, and after the matter is completed, they only need to stabilize the Shunzhou army. ”

"The cavalry battalion of the Fire Lin Army? They will not be involved in the internal problems of the Shunzhou army, they are only responsible for training the soldiers, as for who the master of the Shunzhou army is, they will not care, after the war, we just need to give them enough benefits. You must know that the last time Zhao Yan said that he moved them, he paid 5,000 yuan. This cavalry battalion of the Fire Lin Army, as long as they have money, they will not oppose us. By the way, I have already contacted them secretly, and as long as they pay 5,000 yuan in the end, they will treat it as if this did not happen, and in the meantime, it is good to continue to train soldiers for us. ”

"Master, then after we succeed, why don't we solve the cavalry battalion of the Huolin Army at once? Wouldn't we have to give anything more? Xiaoluo said suddenly.

Du Yuan shook his head and said: "No, although there is only one battalion of cavalry in Shunzhou Mansion, don't forget, on the other side of the mountain, there are tens of thousands of troops, besides, they have repeatedly defeated the Yan Army, which is actually easy to provoke." Okay, I'll give you a few secret letters, you pass them on one by one, and at the same time send me their meanings, these people should be credible people. ”

It should be a trustworthy person! From here, it can be seen that Du Yuan's old department has been almost disposed of.

On the same day, some people in Gaoling County received Du Yuan's secret letter. When Du Yuan was acting, Zhao Xun's secret agents who stayed in Gaoling County were also acting.

"My lord, this is the list sent by Du Yuan's secret letter." In an ordinary courtyard in Xicheng, Gaoling County, Xiao Luo replied to the middle-aged man in front of him.

The middle-aged man sneered: "Very good, you did a good job this time, I will give you credit." Du Yuan, this time it's up to you to catch all the kittens and dogs. ”

Xiaoluo left the courtyard and rushed back to Du Mansion, and couldn't help sighing: "Master, it's not that the little ones don't help you, it's just that the current Gaoling County is already in the hands of Zhao Yan's commander, and the most important thing is that the people's lives are much better than before." Unfortunately, my family is also one of the beneficiaries. ”

In the Peking camp, the sentry commander Gao Yan frowned and looked at the letter in his hand, and couldn't help but fall into deep thought. For Gao Yan, Du Yuan used to be his boss and treated him well. Although Du Yuan is not good to the people, he is still good to his subordinates. Now that Du Yuan wants to set things right, to put it bluntly, it is a rebellion. But Gao Yan didn't want to join. Without him, because in these few days, he has seen that the tigers are different from them, the tigers can be described as real strong soldiers, and more importantly, they do not bully the people. Zhao Yan, the commander of the Shunzhou army, was also very good to his subordinates, although the training was hard, the soldiers were indeed well fed, and the salary was sufficient.

If Gao Yan was to choose, he would still be willing to let Zhao Yan command the Shunzhou army. Why do we do whatever we want? In order for the people to be able to protect their families, to have food to eat, clothes to wear, and not to be displaced. Zhao Yan's words at the beginning of the training sounded in Gao Yan's mind again.

"That's it! Since I want to choose, choose what I want. With that, Gao Yan picked up the secret letter and went straight to the captain's place.

Not only Gao Yan received a secret letter, but in the large battalion, more than 20 subordinates received a secret letter, most of them were temporary officers at the level of the sentry commander, and at this moment, they were all faced with the same choice as Gao Yan.

When night comes, thousands of homes are brightly lit. In the darkness of the night, some ghosts are about to start to move.

Ma Liang, the temporary sentry commander of the third capital of the battalion, was a member of Du Yuan's subordinates in the past, but he was not too deeply involved with Du Yuan, and he was brave in battle, so he pardoned his crime and appointed him as the temporary sentry commander.

"Wealth is in danger! Whether it succeeds or not, it depends on tonight. Gather the cubs below first and induce them to act together. As long as the big clans in the city take action, kill Li Yu, and occupy the Shunzhou army. Ma Liang said to himself.

opened the big tent and prepared to patrol with the subordinate team who was called in by himself, but he was stunned by the situation in front of him. "Ma Liang?" Sitting on Ma Liang's seat on weekdays was a young man, but there was a shallow scar on his face, which made him look like a sense of vicissitudes.

"I am, who are you? How dare you sit in my seat. And you, why don't you stop it! Ma Liang's heart suddenly burst, pointed at the other party quietly, and shouted at the team leaders on both sides.

The young man smiled: "Don't shout anymore, I am an envoy under the command of the commander, this is my command arrow and identity token, I think of it, you won't know it." As he spoke, the young man pointed to the white arrow and waist tag in the corner of the table.

"It turned out to be the commander of the envoy's envoy, I don't know what kind of military order the lord came to me?" Ma Liang's face changed slightly, and he said with a smile.

The young man shook his head and said, "The sentry commander is also a smart man, why is he so stupid this time?" Is Du Yuan's secret letter so easy to receive? ”

"What?" Ma Liang's face changed drastically, and he said in a lost voice.

"In the whole battalion, there were twenty-six people who received the secret letter, and twenty-one of them handed over the secret letter. Only five people were unmoved, but they colluded with Du Yuan and wanted to make trouble. I've said it so clearly, so should the sentry chief. Someone, take him away for me! As he spoke, the young man shouted.

Suddenly, two big men rushed in from outside the house and dragged Ma Liang out. And Ma Liang did not resist, at this moment, his face was like ashes. What else to play to set things up anyway, it turns out that they are all in the other party's sight. I understand, what a strategy to kill people with a knife, in this way, not only can you kill Du Yuan openly, but also deal with those who are not satisfied in the county. It turned out that we were all chess pieces in Zhao Yan's hands.

"Alright guys, it's over, it's time for me to go! By the way, you must remember that now the Shunzhou Army is the master of my family, and it is the commander Zhao Yan Zhao. Think about your family, think about the people of Gaoling County, and think about the road ahead. After saying this to the four team leaders, he got up and left.

"Your Excellency...... Awesome! The four team leaders looked at each other, and finally, one of them sighed with a long sigh.

They naturally knew about the capture of Ma Liang, but from this simple matter, they could see the power of Zhao Yan's intelligence. Even among the scattered troops, there were Zhao Yan's people everywhere. More importantly, the choice of twenty-six people also shows Zhao Yan's status here.

"Okay, don't say much, as long as we follow the commander, we won't be afraid of a good future." An older team leader said with a smile.

Obviously, Ma Liang was just one of them, and the rest of the sentry commander-level characters were also killed! Not only that, but there were more than 100 people who were quietly eliminated in the camp tonight, most of whom were cronies of previous generals.
