I wanted Ye Xuan to go to the stage to talk about today's affairs for the soldiers, but Ye Xuan did not agree.

That's right, he worked hard to come forward, but he achieved others, this kind of stupid thing, he Ye Xuan would not do it.

Seeing this, Zhao Xun didn't say anything more, and walked to the high platform with his back on his back. looked at all the soldiers condescendingly, and said loudly: "Brothers, I am the general of the Shanyang Prefecture Army, responsible for the rectification and training of all the government troops in Shanyang Prefecture, and make a reserve for the frontline resistance to the Tang Army. The purpose of coming here today is to urge all the armies to train with all their might, so as to wash away the shame of the defeat of the army on you. In other words, from now on, you will be my soldiers. As long as everyone abides by military discipline and trains conscientiously. What awaits everyone is definitely not a punishment, but a reward! Of course, if there is a place where you don't obey the military order, I will also severely punish you! ”

Later, Zhao Xun told the whole army and the fair selection of officers, and the corporals let go of their nervousness and cheered. After Zhao Xun said that the monthly salary had risen and that he would never withhold it, the soldiers gave up the struggle between them and Hu Zhi. What's more appealing than getting promoted and getting rich? They were just newly drafted by Ho Chi, not Ho Chi's cronies.

In any case, this giant wild city can be regarded as stabilized. Zhao Xun kept his promise and spared Hu Zhi's life, of course, if he wanted to leave, he had to wait until half a month later.

As for Ye Xuan, he had already left after Zhao Xun took the Shangyuan Town military camp. First, he was worried about the battle situation in the north, and second, he really didn't want to stay and watch Feng Ziming get stronger and stronger. And the director Feng Ziming has become the de facto master of Shanyang Mansion now, but he has his own share of credit, and Ye Xuan feels extremely bad about this. After repeatedly explaining to Feng Ziming and asking him to transport grain, grass and supplies for his department, Ye Xuan left quickly.

"Lord Feng, have you seen your family?" Zhao Xun watched Feng Ziming walk in with a smile on his face, and couldn't help but smile.

"I saw it, the corporal of the Metropolitan Governor, it's really amazing!" Then he remembered something, and immediately saluted: "Subordinate Feng Ziming, please meet the Metropolitan Governor!" From this day on, Feng Ziming is willing to serve the Grand Governor. ”

Zhao Xun laughed and said, "Very good! With your help, it is really a tiger for me now! ”

"The governor praised it falsely, speaking of which, the things before and after were all done by the governor, and his subordinates are ashamed!" Feng Ziming shook his head and smiled bitterly.

Zhao Xun said in a deep voice: "Don't belittle yourself, I won't talk about the previous ones, but from now on, your burden will be heavy." What we are doing now is basically to oppose Xu Jie and Tang Jun. Therefore, before Xu Jie's reaction, we must take Shanyang Mansion into our hands and cut off this place from Yanzhou Mansion in the south. ”

"Xu Jie will not attack us directly, as long as we don't fight against him openly, he won't attack us. Otherwise, his deeds here will be revealed. Zhao Xun said in a deep voice.

Indeed, it doesn't matter if you join forces with the Tang Army, at most some of the officers and soldiers of the government army are separated. But in order to take it by surprise, in order to avoid the dissatisfaction of his subordinates, he wanted to let the army of a government in the north go, which was indeed a bit too much. If it were really opened, he would be empty.

"What do you mean?"

Zhao Xun said slowly: "Reorganize the army of the counties of Shanyang Prefecture, don't ask how powerful they are, just need them to be loyal and don't cause chaos in our rear." In addition, officials in various localities also need to deal with it, and those who are capable and honest will be put to power, and those who are not qualified will be severely punished. Our military is responsible for the front, but you really need to be in charge of the things in the back. ”

"In addition, you need to be responsible for the logistics of the front-line army! Fortunately, we have been buying grain and grass from other prefectures and counties for most of the month, otherwise we would ......."

Feng Ziming also smiled slightly bitterly, where is the Tongguò merchant buying, these grains were simply obtained by the people of the Tongguò Xiaoguo Army. Perhaps, before they acted, all kinds of preparations were made, Feng Ziming thought secretly.

Subsequently, the counties of Sanyang Prefecture were extensively rectified, and many officials were dismissed, and of course, many officials were promoted. But for the people, these are all good things, those who are promoted are good officials with good reputations, and those who are dismissed are naturally those who are corrupt and useless. The person in charge is naturally Feng Ziming, if it was in normal times, or a few years ago, these dismissed officials would have turned the sky upside down. But now, they don't dare, who will let the other side move with the help of the army?

It's not that no one has objected, it's not that no one has secretly brushed their hands? It's just that the bloody reality once again tells them that this era is already the era of martial arts.

In addition to the promotion and promotion of officials, local taxes have also begun to be reduced or abolished. And there are unified regulations on commercial tax, which is imitated by the Xiaoguo Army. Of course, based on this, it can't be said that Feng Ziming has anything to do with Xiaoguo Army. You must know that among the princes of the world and all parts of the world, there are many people who follow the example of the Xiaoguo army. Either way, it was a great thing for the people and the merchants. And Feng Ziming's move can be regarded as completely buying the hearts of the people in Shanyang Mansion, allowing him to quickly gain a firm foothold in Shanyang Mansion.

Unlike Ye Xuan and Hu Zhi, Feng Ziming occupies the entire territory of Shanyang Mansion. Because at the same time as the county officials were transferred, some government troops stationed in various places also began to be reorganized, which was mixed with the capital envoys sent by the generals of the Shanyang Prefecture Prefecture to supervise the training of the government army, which was equivalent to the county lieutenants. Gradually, these government troops also fell into the hands of Zhao Xun. There's no way, who asked Zhao Xun to give him a real salary?

Of course, those original officers didn't say much, and those who were willing to stay in the army were naturally paid a boost. Moreover, Zhao Xun accepted those who were able, and if they were incapable, they would just go over the air and stay at home with Yulu. As for those who don't want to stay, giving a penny is also the intention of the general. It is precisely because of this that Zhao Xun took over the government armies of the counties more smoothly. This is also related to the fact that most of the county government troops were transferred by Ye Xuan, as for these government soldiers, if they are qualified, they will stay as county soldiers, and if they are not qualified, they will be recruited to replace them.

Because of the situation in the land of Boping, after Ye Xuan left, Zhao Xun immediately asked the grain hoarded by the Xiaoguo army caravan in advance to be transported to the north quickly, and at the same time, the arrows, crossbows and weapons stored in Shanyang Mansion were transported north. In addition, Zhao Xun also set up a craftsman battalion and began to manufacture weapons on a large scale. There's no way, who told Xu Jie that he wouldn't be able to support weapons. As for sending reinforcements or something, Zhao Xun hasn't considered it yet. First, Ye Xuan has a lot of troops in his hands, and second, even if he goes, I'm afraid that Ye Xuan won't appreciate it now. Without cooperation, how to fight.

However, Zhao Xun was not worried that the Tang army would march on a large scale again, thinking that the 25,000 Tang army going south this time was already the limit of the other party.

…………

Dongping Mansion, Rencheng, Tang Army General's Mansion.

"What does Xiaoguo Jun mean? Why did not move early or late, but when our army was preparing to move south, it was time to act. In the General's Mansion, Tang Xian's face turned red and he was angry.

If nothing else, it's just the abnormal movement of the Xiaoguo Army that began a few days ago. According to his secret discussion with Xu Jie, the Tang Army, the Xiaoguo Army, and the Yanzhou Mansion Army formed a tripartite alliance to jointly fight against the Xiaoguo Army and the Wuwei Army. Things went very smoothly, and after getting the conditions they wanted, the Tang army immediately took action, and in just a few days, they occupied almost the entire territory of Liangzhou Mansion. Now, except for the last city, basically the Liangzhou Mansion is his.

Since the defeat and loss of the Xiaoguo Army in Qingzhou, it has been raised for more than half a year, and it has only been slightly relieved now. However, Tang Xian thinks it's worth it. If nothing else, if he hadn't fought with the Xiaoguo Army and hadn't abandoned Murong Cheng's order, then he wouldn't be where he is now. How does it feel to be a hero, how can a general of the Armed Guards be compared? Of course, Tang Xian would not have a good impression of Xiaoguo Army. The big defeats and losses in the past made him unforgettable. If he has the opportunity and strength, he will attack mercilessly, but unfortunately, the opponent is too strong, and his own side is too weak.

Although it occupies the land of the two prefectures, one of them is the largest prefecture in Yanzhou. But the land of the two provinces is indeed a little narrower, not to mention raising an army, even if the war starts, there is no room for maneuver in the two places. Now that it has won the Liangzhou Mansion, it is a good time for its great development. If the alliance is reached, it is not impossible to resist the pressure of the Xiaoguo Army at that time. Subsequently, he shifted the direction of expansion to Daoyuzhou.

But just when Boping was deadlocked, the food and grass of the government army was about to be cut off, and the army was really ready to press the border in order to complete Xu Jie's requirements, the Xiaoguo army in the north moved.

Because from the beginning of the year to implement the dredging plan of the river, Xiaoguo Army has entered the stage of restoration. In addition, it is necessary to rectify the officials in various places and carry out land reform in the southern part of Qingzhou and Jizhou, so it is not unusual for the Xiaoguo army to focus on its own territory.

However, now, just as he was preparing for a big move, there was an accident. This feeling of being deeply interrupted by someone is really uncomfortable.

"The general's anger is calm, and the Xiaoguo army is moving, and it doesn't necessarily have anything to do with us. If he really goes south, he is afraid that all the forces in the land of Yanzhou will unite and fight the enemy together. Shen Yuanhe, who was in charge of the logistics affairs of the whole army, said slowly.

"Old Shen, tell me, what else can this Xiaoguo Army do? When it is not good to move, just when we are ready to move south, this is clearly aimed at us. Tang Xian said bitterly and angrily.

"What did the people we sent say? Have you contacted them? Shen Yuanhe asked the officer who went to the Xiaoguo Army to inquire about the situation.

The land of the Xiaoguo army and the Tang army intersected, and any army movement may cause tension on the other side, especially when the Xiaoguo army moved fifty miles south, which was already crossing the line and could be said to be a provocation.

Although the Tang army was composed of Tang Xian and Shen Yuanhe, the army could only have one commander. Therefore, Shen Yuanhe simply gave up the power in his hands and handed it over to Tang Xian. In order not to cause trouble to the other party, or in other words, not to bring trouble to himself, Shen Yuanhe directly gave up the right to lead the army and took charge of the logistics of the army. But because of this, Tang Xian still respects Shen Yuanhe very much. Therefore, the officials of the Tang Army did not dare to slack off on Shen Yuanhe.

The official who was asked by Shen Yuanhe immediately replied: "The other party said that they are training soldiers, which is a normal behavior, so we don't need to care." ”

"Bastard! It's so arrogant, they've already crossed the turf, and we don't have to care! Tang Xian's face was gloomy, and a fierce light flashed in his eyes.

"Sooner or later, I will join forces with other forces, and I must go north. The revenge of the past has to be avenged! Tang Xian said hatefully.

Chen Bai, the former general of the Tang Army, asked urgently: "The general, what about our southward journey?" ”

"To the south? Do you think we can still film your army heading south now? The Xiaoguo Army is so abnormal that we are forced to dare not move lightly! It's hateful. ”

After hearing this, former general Chen Bai and later general Dong Zhao couldn't help but be secretly disappointed. The Tang Army's newly named fourth general, the left general Ling He sent an envoy to the Yanzhou army, which suffered losses on the surface, but in fact made great contributions and completed the goal of peace talks with Xu Jie. General Right is now fighting in Liangzhou Mansion, and he has taken the rest of the counties except Boping, and has also made great contributions. The remaining two generals are also hot for such an opportunity. Originally, this time the army went south to enter Shanyang Mansion and cooperated with the Xuzhou Army and the Yanzhou Mansion Army to attack the Wuwei Army, but there was one person who had such an opportunity. But it's a pity that it was mixed up by the Xiaoguo Army.

Although Tang Xian was very interested in the territory in the south, he was more concerned about his base camp. If the new land is in hand, but the nest you run is lost, it is definitely a loss-making deal.

"General, don't you care about the stone in the south?"

"Whatever? How is it possible, Liangzhou Mansion has fallen into the hands of our army, and Shanyang Mansion is also meat in the mouth. Now that the Shanyang Mansion Army has been sold by Xu Jie, there is nothing to be afraid of at all. It's just that if we don't send a large army south, it will affect the actions of the coalition forces against the guards. Tang Xian said coldly.

Shen Yuanhe said: "General, since we can obtain the land of the two provinces along the way, what is there to worry about?" Meng Zhao had 20,000 people in his hands, and it was naturally not a problem to recruit some local young men and prisoners to assist Xu Jie in defeating the Wuwei army. We can't just help him Xu Jie, and we should lose it ourselves. ”

Tang Xian frowned, and said: "However, if we fail to do our best this time, it will inevitably affect the alliance of the three parties, and besides, we have also received the benefits of Xu Jie, and the land of the two mansions ......."

Shen Yuanhe naturally knew Tang Xian's plan, he wanted to use the tripartite alliance to deal with the pressure of the Xiaoguo army, at least there was no need to guard against the invasion of the Xiaoguo army at all times like now, for this reason, there were always 20,000 troops trapped on the northern front.

Shen Yuanhe smiled bitterly: "But now, the Xiaoguo Army must know something, and deliberately did this to put pressure on us, and it didn't want our three parties to reach an effective alliance." In other words, they don't want our three sides to be one-sided with the actions of the Armed Guards. Since you can't do anything, then take care of the other side comprehensively, and you can't be pleasing to both sides. General, we only need to report our current situation to Xu Jie afterwards, and they will naturally understand our situation. I think they should understand the decision we're making. ”

Tang Xian was angry and angry, but he had no choice but to order: "Give Meng Zhao an order to take action against Shanyang Mansion alone, and after taking Shanyang Mansion, he will raid the back of the Wuwei Army when the Yanzhou Mansion Army, the Xuzhou Army and the Wuwei Army are fighting." ”

Shen Yuanhe suddenly said again: "General, shouldn't we move the center of our army, the Great General's Mansion." After all, this place is too close to the Xiaoguo Army, and if there is an emergency, it is difficult to take care of it! "Of course, there is also the fact that because Tang Xian is here, he has also restrained a lot of troops here for no reason, which makes the Tang army's strength tense.

Tang Xian thought for a while and said, "It's okay, when we defeat the Wuwei Army, we will shift our center of gravity to the south, here, it is really too close to the Xiaoguo Army." He also knew that it was not very appropriate to set up his center or base camp here, because he had only two places before, and it was the same everywhere. But now, he immediately owns the land of the Four Mansions, and he can move the center south. After all, the forces in the south put less pressure on themselves than the forces in the north.

…………

"Yes, Lord Feng is really a veteran of government affairs, and now Shanyang Mansion has a new look. The people and merchants also welcomed us, and look, in five days, we were very different. Zhao Xun said with a smile.

Feng Ziming shook his head and said: "I don't dare to take credit for this matter, speaking of which, these are all those merchants under the command of the Metropolitan Governor, if it weren't for the fact that they had already started hoarding grain and grass materials, I am afraid that not only can they not reduce taxes now, but also increase them to meet Ye Xuan's needs." ”

"Well, by the way, Hu's contribution to this matter is not small, if it weren't for Hu Tingshi's extremely clear understanding of the officials and the situation in the counties here, I'm afraid we wouldn't be able to solve so many troubles in such a short time." Feng Ziming said with a smile.

Hu Qingming, who was sitting at the bottom of his hand, hurriedly got up, shook his head and said, "I'm just a fighter, and I don't have any credit." ”

As he was talking, a guard quickly rushed into the back hall of the Assassin's Mansion and delivered an urgent military report.

Zhao Xun opened it and looked at it, his brows furrowed slightly, and he couldn't help sighing.

"What's wrong? What's wrong with Ye Xuan? Feng Ziming asked urgently.

Zhao Xun handed the military report in his hand to Feng Ziming and said, "It's not Ye Xuan, but the King of Shu and the general of Zhenbei, Cao Gang." ”

"Zhang Yan, the king of Shu, was defeated and beheaded by his subordinates, the Shu State was destroyed, and the Ningzhou Rebellion was pacified. What's even more annoying is that Cao Gang, the general of Zhenbei, is there, and the rest of the Turks hook up and talk clearly, but I didn't expect that now it is getting more and more excessive, and they directly let the Turkic army enter to plunder. Damn this man! Zhao Xun said coldly.

After reading the military newspaper in general, Feng Ziming sighed: "Alas! It is only the people who suffer. However, we are still too busy to take care of ourselves here, and we can't take care of others anymore. Besides, we're too far away from them. ”

Zhao Xun smiled coldly and said, "I can't take care of it now, but it doesn't mean in the future." People like Xiang Cao Gang should be killed. In order to gain the support of the Turks, the Turks actually entered the country to plunder, which is too unusual. For people like Cao Gang, Zhao Xun hated him very much.
