You Zhengyang was stunned, originally just planning to use this to blackmail Zhao Xun, so that he could put him back into his subordinates. Unexpectedly, Zhao Xun had already excluded the soldiers from going north, and more importantly, he still didn't know how many soldiers the Xiaoguo Army had come to Haizhou Mansion this time.

"By the way, except for the three counties in the south, the other ten counties in Haizhou Mansion have been taken over by my people, and each county has two thousand troops stationed, and they will rectify the counties, and Lord Assassin Shi has no opinion, right?" Zhao Xun said again.

This remark not only surprised everyone in the lobby, but even You Zhengyang was also uneasy. In this way, there are more than 30,000 Xiaoguo troops in Haizhou Mansion, and Haizhou Mansion will also be merged under the rule of Xiaoguo Army. The 30,000 Xiaoguo army is definitely not something that only 12,000 soldiers can resist. What worries You Zhengyang even more is that under the control of Haizhou Mansion, his sailors will be cut off from their financial resources, unless they go to plunder passing merchant ships. But was it easy to do at that time? In this way, they are afraid that they will not even have a place to supply, and besides, the Qingzhou Navy will also sell Zhao Xun a face and take them down. Even if these things are not discussed, the sailors will not agree.

You Zhengyang's eyes shrank, with a hint of horror. He suddenly realized that he was not worth mentioning at all in front of Zhao Xun.

"One qiē obey the orders of the adults!" For these, Cheng Yuan had already smiled bitterly.

"Let's have a feast, everyone is here, we can't let everyone sit still." Zhao Xun said with a smile. But everyone was frightened, and they no longer dared to underestimate this young patrol envoy who was only twenty years old.

The patrol made the adults come, and naturally good wine and good food responded, but except for Zhao Xun and Zhang Yuanjing, the rest of the people, including Xue Qinglan and Qin Daolin, all tasted the same as chewing wax.

"Report ...... Lord Qiqi, a messenger has arrived in Yanzhou City, asking to meet your lordship. ”

"Well...... Let them in! Zhao Xun's heart moved, thinking that it was a matter of quelling the chaos.

"I've seen my lord!" Three dusty messengers rushed in, and the first one was Xu Le, the captain of the guard battalion who he had left in Yanzhou City. Zhao Xun couldn't help but be stunned when he looked at people, because he saw Li Xinyan standing on the left side of the back.

"Tell me, something."

"Returning to my lordship, the imperial court has issued an edict to let our army go south to peace...... The rebellion of Li Huaiyuan, the governor of Pingyou Prefecture! Probably worried about Li Xinyan behind him, Xu Le paused for a moment and said a little stiffly.

"Xu Le, you go back and tell Situ Liang and ask him to inform the whole army to go south as planned. You don't need to attack quickly, but you have to take a city and fortify it. Let some of the government troops in each prefecture and county be converted into county soldiers, and the rest will wait for reorganization. ”

"Obey!"

"By the way, did the Khitans harass and kill my people?" Zhao Xun asked lightly.

"If you go back to your lordship, the three Khitan tribes have all wandered outside the state, and they have not invaded the state, nor have they killed my people. However, it seems that several Turkic tribes were plundered and disputes arose with the Turks. ”

"Give them an order to withdraw, as for the Turks, if necessary, the Xiaoguo army will give them support. The general is short of war horses, and it is not impossible to go around the Turks. ”

As soon as Zhao Xun's words came out, above the lobby, everyone's minds were like thunder, it turned out that this was the plan of the Xiaoguo Army, although before, many people speculated that it was related to Zhao Xun, but they didn't expect Zhao Xun to be able to command the Khitans. What the? You said that Zhao Xun colluded with the Khitans, what about the evidence? The Khitans did not raid and annex the state, nor did they plunder. Although the strength of the Khitans is not large, Zhao Xunneng can order them to serve for himself, which shows the strength of the Xiaoguo army.

You Zhengyang was even more like someone knocked on a stick, and he found that the Xiaoguo Army, which he had always dismissed, was far stronger than the legends in the outside world. The worry in his eyes was even worse, and he even regretted that he had opposed Zhao Xun, but in fact, it was never a good idea to take refuge under Zhao Xun.

And Fang De's heart was agitated, the stronger Zhao Xun was, the more correct his opinion was, and it was not impossible to recover the three eastern mansions in the future and avenge his family.

Lai Jian felt more and more in his heart that it was wiser to follow behind Zhao Xun than to love You Zhengyang more, not to mention anything else, even these dozen lieutenants also had a look of admiration or disbelief and joy on their faces.

Seeing the reaction of the generals and colonels of the water division, Zhao Xun knew that his words had an effect.

"Zhao Xun! You...... You don't believe what you say! At that moment, a coquettish voice rang out above the silent lobby. Everyone couldn't help but be stunned, who was so bold and dared to fight against Zhao Xun.

It turned out to be a smaller person among the three messengers, who stood up at this moment, pointed at Zhao Xun and scolded loudly: "Zhao Xun, you told me in person that you would not attack my father, but now? You...... You don't talk about credit. ”

"Xinyan, don't mess around!" At this time, Xue Qinglan on the side scolded worriedly. Only then did the people realize that the messenger was a woman. Coupled with what he said, everyone also understood that this was the daughter of Li Huaiyuan, the governor of Youzhou. Thinking of the tone in which he and Zhao Xun spoke, many people looked at Zhao Xun with ambiguous expressions.

"Uncle Xue, Uncle Qin, you have also taken refuge in him, and you want to crusade against my father?" Li Xinyan said with a crying voice.

Xue Qinglan and Qin Daolin looked embarrassed, but they couldn't speak. Xue Qinglan sighed and said, "Xinyan, I'll talk about this later, you go back first, Daochengnan Daying, and wait for Uncle Xue to go back and talk about it, okay?" Xue Qinglan was really worried that Zhao Xun would be angry, just now Zhao Xun was silent, he killed five people in a row, and he also made the general of the water division gray and unable to speak. This is in public, if you sweep Zhao Xun's face, it will be ......

"I don't, I ...... He didn't believe what he said, he ...... at the beginning" Li Xinyan, who had tears in his eyes, pointed at Zhao Xun and scolded in a coquettish voice. Originally, she heard the imperial edict to let Zhao Xun quell the rebellion, she didn't believe that Zhao Xun would send troops, but her second brother Li Muyuan told him that the Xiaoguo army had long been preparing to go south. So this time she personally followed the messenger and wanted to ask Zhao for an understanding. As a result, Zhao Xun's words shattered her extravagant hopes, and Xiaoguo Jun was really ready for a long time.

At the beginning, Zhao Xun personally told him that her father would be fine, but he didn't expect that in the blink of an eye, Zhao Xun let the army of Xiaoguo go south to crusade against his father. She knows very well who her father is now. It is inevitable to be crusaded. She can accept that her father was conscripted by the imperial army, but she can't accept Zhao Xun's involvement, she doesn't want to become an enemy with Zhao Xun. Originally, she also hoped that when her father was in trouble, she could get Zhao Xun's help and save her father, after all, Zhao Xun accepted her relatives, and did not follow the will of the court to arrest her second brother and those relatives who were condemned as traitors by the court. But she didn't expect that the crusade was Zhao Xun, and Zhao Xun sent troops south without hesitation.
