Watching Zhao Xun hurry, Su Ziyan still saw a shallow worry and anxiety on his face, and after Su Ziyan met Zhao Xun, he never saw him show such a look. In her eyes, this guy had never worried about anything, even if it was a war with the Ying Gang army in the Yingzhou Mansion.

In the few days when she was waiting for news from the south in Lexian, although the Huolin Army was very worried and anxious, she had never seen this kind of expression on Zhao Xun's face, and even joked and comforted her subordinates from time to time. But now, she saw worry and anxiety on Zhao Xun's face, and she couldn't help but feel a little strange.

Could it be that something happened in Yanzhou City? It's impossible, the lair and base camp of the Huolin Army in Yanzhou City are operated like an iron pass, and there are people from the Shadow Guards everywhere, and it is said that there are also internal guards trained by Zhao Xun secretly and secretly also monitoring the entire Yanzhou City, and there will never be any unpredictable changes. What happened? Don't even care about the war in the state capital? Su Ziyan was puzzled.

"Did something happen?" Su Ziyan, who couldn't help it, still asked.

Zhao Xun, who was thinking about things, turned his head and glanced at Su Ziyan, turned his head back, and did not speak for a while.

Su Ziyan shrugged his shoulders and said, "It's nothing, it's inconvenient to say that I didn't ask." ”

Zhao Xun turned his head and said, "Can I ask?" Why stay in Yanzhou, why not Shunzhou? As for the Shunzhou Army's search for support, I can't do anything in the short term, and this is also a fact, and if you stay here, there will be no results. ”

Su Ziyan was stunned, thought for a while, and said: "Originally, I stayed here because I thought that your initial answer was just a pretext, but I wanted to stay and get your exact answer." Later, I found out that you did have your own actions, and I stayed until you were done so that I could send reinforcements to support us. But now, after watching your Huolin Army, I realized that our so-called Shunzhou Army was very different from you at that time, and I don't know what to do now. As he spoke, his eyes were confused.

Shaking his head, Su Ziyan continued: "I'm curious about you, you are only eighteen years old now, or you have not yet reached the age of eighteen. Why do they act in the slightest way that they are no worse than some middle-aged people, or even stronger and older. The subordinates you train are also different, maybe their combat power is not the strongest, but their discipline is indeed incomparable to many other armies, and even ...... Even the Long Xiang Army can't compare. I haven't seen your subordinates train, but I'm curious how you train. I look at your subordinates, the procession and march and their strict order, when assembled, give people a sense of atmosphere, oppression, and majesty. ”

"It even reminds me of the army of the Great Qin Empire recorded in the history books, the army of the Great Qin Empire is strong, and that is because of the strict military law of the Qin Dynasty and the rule of law. But I don't see a strict system of military law in your governance. ”

Su Ziyan looked at Zhao Xun and said in a deep voice: "Zhao Xun, what is your purpose?" Just to defeat the Evil Warriors and regain lost territory? I don't believe that. I know that if you support the Shunzhou Army in the future, it means that the Shunzhou Army will also be included in your command, and the Shunzhou Mansion will also fall into your hands. Although it is said that troubled times produce heroes, troubled times produce heroes. But now, although Yan Guo is suffering from internal and external troubles, it has never reached the era of loneliness, do you know the consequences of your actions? ”

Zhao Xun smiled and said, "What did I do?" The land of Yan is occupied by the Yan people, and the people of Yan are bullied under the iron hooves of the Yan army, I just did what a real man should do, protect the family and defend the country, and let my family not be bullied, how can you be so strict as you said. ”

Su Ziyan snorted coldly and said, "You can just lie to the ghosts, you can only say this to those people who don't know a single word, as long as you have read the book, who doesn't know what you think in your heart?" ”

Zhao asked: "Oh? My thoughts? Tell me, what do they all know? Want to rebel? Why are so many people willing to work for me? Don't they know what they're doing? ”

Su Ziyan sneered: "Some are depressed scholars, some are petty officials who were suppressed by the original officials of Yanzhou Mansion, some are officials who have great ambitions but cannot be realized, and some are so that their families will not be hungry and get a career." They may know that you have a big plan, but they have been involved in it and cannot get out, or they may be more comfortable with you than before, so they pretend not to know and work for you. As for your thoughts, you are definitely not a person who is willing to be subordinate. By the way, the reason why you agreed to me to participate in this battle with you is not also to let me understand the strength of your Huolin army, so that I can pass on to the Dao Shunzhou army and let them obey or surrender to you. Am I right? ”

"Oh? It seems that Miss Su knows me quite well! What you said is true, why should I support the Shunzhou army? Don't sue me for any righteousness or anything? Shunzhou is not mine, it belongs to the imperial court, and it belongs to the Murong family. In your words, even the officials of the imperial court have abandoned it, and what right do I have to redeem it? What I want to bear is not only the righteousness, but also the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers under my command, and I will not fight for the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers for the so-called righteousness. It's not worth it! Zhao Xun said lightly.

Su Ziyan stared at Zhao Xun and said, "What does Lord Zhao mean?" ”

Zhao Xun said slowly: "It's not mine, I won't fight with my life." Whether the Shunzhou army exists or not, for me, is meaningless. If you want to get my support, it's not impossible, in my treasury, there are still a lot of leather armor and scimitars that have captured the Yan Army, except for some damaged ones that have been returned to the furnace by me, there are a lot, if you need it, then come and buy it, I will discount it. ”

"You...... You are too ruthless, too ruthless, Shunzhou Mansion doesn't know how many people are waiting for someone to rescue, you are ...... now"

"Then you should go to the court, to ask the generals of the Longxiang army, you should tell them this, because this is their responsibility, so that they are duty-bound, not mine, I have no obligation, and I don't have that much ability. The five major tribes in the south of the Yatar people, millions of people, hundreds of thousands of troops, do you think I can resist? Zhao Xun said coldly.

"By the way, my Yanzhou Mansion is about to start a war with the Yan Army, and this Yanzhou Mansion is not a good place, please bother Miss Su to go back to Shunzhou Mansion, tell me about the situation here, just say that my Zhao Xun's ability is limited, I'm sorry!"

I was choked by Zhao Xun's words for a long time and didn't react, and finally gritted his teeth angrily and said: "War? How could Yanzhou Mansion go to war with the Yan Army? ”

"I took the Yanzhou Mansion from the hands of the Yan Army, which is tantamount to snatching food from the tiger's mouth. The tiger who was robbed of things was naturally unwilling to fail, no, the 50,000 army had already entered the Yanzhou Mansion and integrated our Huolin army into the battle. As for me, don't talk about supporting your Shunzhou Mansion now, if possible, your Shunzhou Army will also support me. Zhao Xun said angrily.

Regarding this situation, Su Ziyan was also speechless. No wonder his face is not good-looking, it turns out that the Yan army has hit Yanzhou Mansion, but why is he still carrying out operations against Yingzhou Mansion instead of returning to help? Is he sure that he can defeat these 50,000 Warrior Army? Odd?

rushed back to Yanzhou City without stopping, came directly to the Governor's Mansion, gathered some relevant personnel, and began to deliberate.

In addition to Zhao Xun, there were also two heads of the Shadow Guard and the Blood Shadow Guard. The rest, there are Situ Liang, who coordinates the first qiē, Xue Lang of the Land and Household Registration Department, Gao Tu of the Supervision Department, Xu He of the Taxation Department, Hu Yi of the Finance Department, Pei Yi, the Secretary of Administration, Shen Meng, the Commercial Department, and the directors of the six major departments. There are also Xue Lei, the general of the right government, and Zhang Meng and Zhao Xiong, deputy generals.

Zhao Xun originally intended to list the administrative secretary as the highest and govern several other departments, but in the end, after thinking about it, he still listed it as a separate department, and listed it with others, dealing with some government affairs under the jurisdiction of the governor's office, and some powers were juxtaposed with other departments, which had the meaning of monitoring and supervising.

"Come to think of it, everyone already understands the situation in Bai County." Looking at these henchmen, Zhao Xun bluntly said the subject.

Several people nodded with a little worry, and the meaning was very clear that the matter was already known.

"Situ Liang, what is the situation? Also, why didn't you say your opinion, but simply how things worked? Zhao Xun said lightly.

After Situ Liang saluted, he said: "If you return to your lordship, the 50,000 Jin Ya army suddenly appeared in the north of Bai County, but fortunately, the Zhongzi battalion guarding Bai County often sent scout horses, so they learned in advance about the situation of the Yan Yan army going south. At the same time, Bai County, a township in the north of Bai County, was immediately resettled and withdrawn to Bai County, but more than 10,000 people still fell into the hands of the Yan army. ”

"The Yan Army, which was renamed the Northern Navy, may have seen the Jingguan in the north of the city, so they killed more than 10,000 people one by one in front of the soldiers of Baixian County. The Zhongzi battalion guarding Baixian was furious for a while, led the army out of the city, and fought a big battle with the Northern Navy, losing more than 1,000 people, and the captains Zhao Fei and Qin You were seriously injured. Originally, there were only 10,000 Northern Navy, but now it is still expanding to 50,000, camping in the north of Baixian County, attacking the city every day. Fortunately, since the last time our army regained Baixian, the city wall has been strengthened. But despite this, the army still took turns to attack, and now siege equipment has appeared. In addition to the 2,000 foot soldiers in Baixian, more than 10,000 young people spontaneously (harmonious?) Take turns defending the city. Reckon, the situation is not good. ”

"Due to the lack of troops in Yanzhou Mansion, we are unable to effectively send reinforcements. Therefore, we only sent people to Baixian to deliver supplies, but fortunately, the Northern Navy could only besiege Beicheng and Dongcheng, so that our supplies could enter the city smoothly. ”

"As for not giving a proposal, this is our idea after consultation. I hope that you will make the most reasonable decision based on the situation at the time, after considering the issue between the north and the south, and we will accomplish the goal according to your wishes. ”

Zhao Xun nodded slightly, and said, "Then I'll tell you what I mean." The southern expedition continues, and the Yingzhou capital must be included in our system, and as for Baixian, I personally went to participate in the war. I don't believe it, this Northern Navy is iron-clad, winter is a big problem for them, see which of us can resist, consume them to death, as long as they hold Baixian, it won't be long before the North Navy will withdraw its troops. ”
